NEW YORK, April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers and financial advisors, increasingly concerned about meeting retirement goals, are finding that variable annuities (VAs) effectively address financial security concerns, according to a new survey by AllianceBernstein L.P. (AllianceBernstein) and the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI). The study, unveiled today at the IRI Marketing Summit, offers insights into how and why financial advisors are using VAs as demand for more predictable and steady income increases. "The fact that fewer people today feel confident that they will be able to meet their financial needs in retirement is driving a robust market for lifetime income solutions," said IRI President and CEO Cathy Weatherford. "Our survey found that more and more financial advisors are turning to VAs as a sound portfolio solution because they provide guaranteed income and can help clients attain financial security in retirement." Investors and Advisors Find More Value in Variable Annuities After the Crisis The 2008 financial crisis has changed a lot of minds about insured retirement solutions, namely variable annuities. Amid the upheaval, many strategies were less effective in limiting losses than expected -- or made things worse. As advisors looked for a way to avoid a repeat of this experience, they focused more closely on the design of the variable annuity, with its explicit guarantee of retirement income. More and more, VAs are being seen as an important solution for investors. "Clients clearly have a strong appetite for the benefits of variable annuities, and it is important that the industry better communicate how they can become a key portfolio ingredient," said Michael Hart, Managing Director of Insurance Services at AllianceBernstein. "We found that the more educated advisors are, the more likely they are to use variable annuities in client portfolios, and not surprisingly, the happier the client." The survey segmented participants into three categories:

Setting: Old Saybrook lies on Long Island Sound just west of the mouth of the Connecticut River. It is 105 miles northeast of New York City, 32 miles east of New Haven, and 43 miles southeast of Hartford. Average high temperatures reach 25 to 30 degrees in winter, mid-80s in summer.
Attractions: Despite Old Saybrook's status as a bedroom and resort community (the year-round population of about 9,700 more than doubles in summer), there's plenty of civic spirit. The business district along broad Main Street makes this a cozy, self-contained New England village. Natural surroundings are superb, with Long Island Sound and (once you cross U.S. Highway 1) the bucolic Connecticut River Valley.
Drawbacks: Former city dwellers might find the town "a little quiet," says one resident. Others fear overdevelopment might become a problem.
Housing Options: North of U.S. 1, the inland section of town tends to be more heavily wooded, with 1-acre zoning. Main Street and the surrounding blocks are within walking distance of shopping, with many 18th- and 19th-century homes. Houses near the sound and along the east shore of Saybrook Point trade lot size for marsh and water views. The exclusive Fenwick area features grand homes that seldom come on the market.
Your Next-door Neighbors: Nonagenarian Katharine Hepburn, the town's most famous resident, has a secluded Fenwick home. A few Yale professors, executives from eastern Connecticut's big casinos, and workers at Pfizer and General Dynamics' Electric Boat Division commute from here.
What It Costs: Some modest properties, particularly to the north, go for less than $200,000. Figure on $300,000-$600,000 in neighborhoods convenient to Main Street. Waterfront properties and 200-year-old homes along North Cove Road easily exceed $1 million.
Where You'd Spend Free Time: Water-oriented activities are the big draw, with the protected sound ideal for sailing, powerboating, sea kayaking, and the pursuit of bluefish and striped bass. There are two town beaches. Hammonasset Beach State Park, one of New England's finest saltwater beaches, is only 12 miles away. Golfers can play a 9-hole course in town and several 18-hole courses in the area. There are bike paths, and Great Cedars Conservation Area has hiking trails. The historic Goodspeed Opera House and Ivoryton Playhouse theaters are a short drive away.

Deadly human fungal infections caused by certain strains of Aspergillus fungi appear to be developing resistance to current drug treatments at an alarming rate, say scientists.
University of Manchester researchers, working with colleagues in Newark, USA, have developed a new test that can not only better diagnose Aspergillus infection, but can also spot signs of antifungal resistance to azoles the class of drugs used to treat patients with aspergillosis.
Using the new test, which uses direct molecular detection rather than culturing the fungus in a Petri dish, the team found that 55% of aspergillosis patients had telltale signs known as 'markers' that indicated they had developed resistance to azoles. The findings compare to resistance rates of 28% carried out by the team just two years ago using traditional culturing methods.

So, there it is - the Rafa-Slam is over. As the Australia Day fireworks exploded over Melbourne, so too the world number one's hopes of emulating Rod Laver and Don Budge went up in smoke.
Not that he relinquished his dream without a fight. Oh no. That's not how Rafa rolls. Despite the unfortunate hamstring injury he sustained early in the first set against David Ferrer, Rafa's warrior spirit still shone through.
He was in obvious pain and far from the player who got himself into a position to become just the third man in history to collect a fourth straight Grand Slam title in a non-calendar year, yet he simply refused to give up.
Like a wounded lion, he refused to lie down and insisted on continuing until the bitter end. And like watching a wounded lion in a nature documentary on the television, it was oddly upsetting for the neutral to watch.
The mighty-beast-being-tamed theme reminded Tramlines a bit of Aslan in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (or The Lion, the Witch and the Robe, as it's probably called here in Australia - the Aussies love their lazy abbreviations). How poor little Trammers cried.
And it was with a similar sadness (minus the tears - just) to see Nadal to go down like this. He certainly didn't deserve such an unfortunate fate. Beaten by Roger Federer in a five-set epic, yes. But not like this. Not with a pained and knowing expression on his face for much of the match. Not deprived of his main weapons.
Yet for all the wretchedness engulfing Rafa's camp after the defeat, his misfortune can only have been welcomed by the likes of Roger, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic.
Their own paths to Australian glory have now been made that much clearer, Murray's in particular. The Scot will now meet Ferrer in Friday's second semi-final and with Nadal out of the way, the world number five will fancy his chances of reaching a second consecutive final in Melbourne.
Ferrer too will have high hopes of his own of reaching a first Grand Slam final. It should not be forgotten, for all Nadal's misfortune, a lesser player would not have been able to capitalise.
Ferrer did exactly the right thing following the injury. He had Rafa running all over the court, he played to his weaknesses and, most importantly, he took full, devastating advantage.
So, credit to Ferrer, but Trammers cannot help feeling a little empty by the manner of Nadal's exit.
As one star departs, another has been born this year at Melbourne Park in the form of Alexandr Dolgopolov (not so Jnr).
The long-haired, one-time computer programmer who also happens to be quite good at tennis may have been bounced out of the tournament by Andy Murray, but the Ukrainian has shown enough over the past week and a half for us to know that we will be seeing a lot more of him in the future.
Not only has his play on the court impressed the assembled media and fans alike, but his demeanour off it has been equally noteworthy.
The girls may well have been accused of being boring, but the same claim cannot be levelled at Dolgo, who has kept up interest levels with his demeanour in front of the microphone and his forthright answers in media grillings.
Take, for example, the press conference following his defeat to Murray. When questioned on the absence of his coach from the box at one stage of the match on Rod Laver, he said: "He went to the toilet. They were giving him a hard time getting back because they were saying, 'you don't have a box pass'. He's like: 'look, it's coach Dolgopolov'. He wasn't there for a few games."
Not that his absence bothered the Ukrainian. He stretched Murray as no one else has done this tournament and did much to rattle the world number five, who is actually only a year his senior, in the third set.
He might be a little too old to have 'come from nowhere', but Dolgo has certainly surprised many, not least Murray, who is backing him for a bright future.
Murray said: "He's just unorthodox, very different to how most guys play.
"But he's also a very, very good player, definitely not someone to be underestimated. I'm sure he'll give a lot of players problems in the future."
Murray summed up his fallen opponent, in a nutshell: "So, you know, he was very good."
There is a journalist at this year's Open who insists on asking each player who comes into the press conference room what they do with their hard-earned millions.
It might not be any of their business, but many players have been happy to open up on the normally prickly issue.
Roger Federer puts it in his Swiss bank account, Murray invests in property (only not in Scotland). Caroline Wozniacki has bought a car (but not one of her sponsors Audi ) while Vera Zvonareva does a lot of good work for charity.
Interesting? Maybe not, but Tramlines is predicting an article about players' earnings and their investments in some financial magazine or other in the very near future. You heard it here first.
- - -
Day 10 was one of distractions off the court, with Australia Day festivities taking centre stage across the country.
As Trammers made his way down the, er, tramlines to Melbourne Park this morning, preparations were well under way for what turned out to be a right old knees up.
But not everyone was enjoying the celebrations.
Agnieszka Radwanska said of the repeated fly-bys of an aeroplane formation similar to the Red Arrows called the Roulettes that interrupted her match with Kim Clijsters: "I didn't really expect that. But it was pretty loud and not pretty fun."
And Vera Zvonareva not only had to deal with a 21-gun salute which rocked Rod Laver Arena, she also had her match with Petra Kvitova suspended for a moment when a lady fainted in the stands.
"It was a difficult moment," said Zvonareva, who beat Kvitova to set up a date with Kim in the semis. "It's difficult to play when someone is feeling bad. You're here to play tennis."
Zvonareva at least has a novel way of dealing with distractions at each change of ends - covering her head in a towel and blocking out everything but her focus on the game.
"It relaxes my eyes," she explained. "It helps me keep focus on the tennis ball. The ball is travelling very fast and it helps me keep concentration."
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "You're looking good both on and off court today." Todd Woodbridge makes amends for his gaffe earlier in the tournament when he finally comes face to face with Kim Clijsters in a post-match courtside interview.
TWEET OF THE DAY: "Happy Australia day to all my Aussie tweethearts!" Kim knows how to get on the right side of her hosts.
PLAYERS OUT ON THE TOWN: Andy Murray was at Billy Connolly's gig last night, reciprocating the support the ageing comedian gave him on Rod Laver for his last 16 clash with Jurgen Melzer.
So did Billy, as so many stand-ups do, pick out his famous audience member and target him for a bit of stick?
"No," said Murray. "I wouldn't have minded. I don't mind people making jokes about me. It's not a problem."
RALLY OF THE DAY: An incredible 35-shot effort during Murray's match with Dolgopolov - even the crowd couldn't bear to watch at one stage.
CAPTION CORNER: It's Petra Kvitova again, this time doing something wonderful with her racquet.

October is National Chiropractic Health Month and Dr. Darcie Anselment, owner of Evidence Based Chiropractic, and other doctors of chiropractic across the country will promote the importance of joint health and the vital role physical activity plays in keeping joints healthy and pain-free.
This year's theme — "Get Vertical" — focuses on getting off the couch or out of the office chair, and standing or moving more each day. Most people nowadays know someone with joint pain, and joint replacement surgery — particularly involving hips and knees — is commonplace. What many do not know is that simple lifestyle changes can help prevent the necessity for this type of surgery and keep joints healthier longer.
In honor of National Chiropractic Health Month, Dr. Anselment offers these tips to help you get vertical and stay pain-free:
• Stand up. Office dwellers can look into using standing desks or treadmill desks, but if you're stuck sitting all day, you can still stretch your legs with a short walk about every 20 to 30 minutes.
• Take micro-breaks. Frequently stretch your neck, arms and wrists, back, and legs. Simple stretches include neck rotations, fist clenches, arm dangles and shoulder shrugs.
• Get moving. You don't have to work out like a pro-athlete, just aim for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise three to five days a week.
• Eat right. A healthy diet — rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats — can help reduce inflammation and joint pain. Also limit red meat, refined sugar and white flour. Just a few simple changes can have a positive impact on your health.
For more tips on healthy, pain-free living, visit www.ChiroHealthy.com.
Sponsored by the American Chiropractic Association, National Chiropractic Health Month is a nationwide observance held each October. The event helps raise public awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care and its natural, whole-person, patient-centered approach to health and wellness.
Dr. Darcie Anselment can be reached at (724) 801-8622. Her office is located in the R&P Building at 655 Church St., Indiana.

A whole mess of documentation has come to light regarding the ongoing dispute between Activision and Jason West and Vince Sampella - the two guys behind Infinity Ward when Acti fired them.
We covered the mess when it began, but there's a mess of better coverage out there right now that's been published in the last 24 hours. Laura Parker over at Gamespot's rounded up some telling emails between Activision honchos Bobby Kotick, Brian Kelly, and Mike Griffith, wherein they discuss getting rid of West and Zampella; over at Game Informer, Andy McNamara has a cracking interview with the two men, which is real eye opener into the kind of goings on at that level of game publishing.
It's basically one big tale of attempted corporate espionage, bullying, and legal knot-tying. Guys - it's essential reading.
However, there's one really interesting thing in the interview, wherein West and Zampella's lawyer, Robert Schwartz, says, regarding the control that the two Infinity Ward employees wanted: "And, if Activision wants to do Call of Duty Asia as an MMO with Modern Warfare assets, they have got to get their permission."
It's entirely possible it's just being thrown out there as a 'for instace', but that's awfully specific. Activision's been looking for a way to increase its monetisation of the Call of Duty brand for a while, and quite openly, too. Leveraging the huge fanbase of CoD to play subscription-based MMO, or even a free-to-play one with micro-transactions, would be one way of pretty much mainlining dollar bills.
And if there's one thing that this saga seems to suggest, it's that Activision seems to be capable of pretty much anything.

Audi Headlights Create Giant World Cup Scoreboard In Brooklyn
Super-sized installation in Greenpoint displays scores by turning on or off car headlights.
Some people enjoy baseball while other prefer basketball or hockey, but not even football stands a chance against soccer. Nothing brings the world together like the World Cup. It's also a chance to learn more about other countries and feel connected to something that is larger than yourself, in a way that is usually only obtained by traveling. When it comes to trekking the world by automobile, Audi has been a leader in the market since it came on the scene in 1966, so it's no surprise that it's one of the top three selling luxury automobile makers in the world. Seeing as the company has such a large presence across the globe, Audi has revealed an exciting new World Cup installation that is worthy of the world stage.
For the World Cup, Audi has created a giant scoreboard that will display the results of matches using the headlights of 28 Audi A8 cars. The flagship sedans are stacked together within 45 shipping containers and collectively stand over 40 feet tall, making it visible from not only miles away, but also from airplanes. The installation is on the shores of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, offering a spectacular view to Manhattanites across the river, and will be live through July 14th.
"Audi is proud to bring the passion of international soccer to the shores of Manhattan with a fun, eye-catching LED installation" said Audi's Director of Marketing, Loren Angelo. "Audi will continue to bring fans exciting activations that enhance their soccer experience."
In addition to the headlight scoreboard, Audi has a football summit that will take place on July 31st. FC Bayern Munich, which is partially owned by Audi, will take on Club Deportivo Guadalajara of Mexico, in a match at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. The match will be televised nationwide.
To see a video of how the scoreboard was made, watch the video below.

Berlin Wall & Beyond
— last modified Apr 01, 2010 12:27 PM
Monday November 9, 2009 is the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, an event that changed history. Many of our students were not even born when the Wall fell, and yet they have grown up in a world that was shaped by the political, social, geographic, and cultural significance of that event. To commemorate this important day in history, several members of the UW Oshkosh faculty have organized a series of presentations and exhibitions to explore the impact of the Wall and new world order that was ushered in when it fell.

This systemic agent got rid of the sooty mold I have on most of my hollies (shady lot, difficult location). Pour it on once a year and done. I am wondering if it helped my neighbor's dogwood which was severely affected by anthracnose as some of my trees are so close that the dogwood would have to have absorbed some of this product.

I have dreaded the last 5 spring and summers since we bought our house because the giant tulip tree in our backyard always rained sticky sap over everything. I couldn't even park my car out of the garage for a day without it getting covered with the sticky substance. Then my sister, a horticulture major, visited and told me tulip trees don't have sap, that my tree was INFESTED with aphids, and that the sticky shiny stuff raining down on everything was aphid poo! So early this spring, I applied a drench of this product, AND IT WORKED! NO MORE APHID POO! And my tree looks wonderful.

Over the last three springs, this product has been applied to a group of two aspens in my backyard infected with several borers. The trees are still alive and flourishing, showing some slight loss of sap at the site of the borer holes which seems to have lessened considerably over the three years. It remains to be seen if this systemic insecticide will finally knock out these pests, but all indications so far are that it is working. Borers are very difficult to kill once they have entered the tree deeply.So, I think this product has done the best job possible based on the information I have been able to find on this problem. It is easy to apply and you only do it once a season. I will buy it again.

Testimony of a Wonderplant
I have seen ages come and go, have seen empires rise and fall. I was born from the land, and have since traveled from the reaches of Southwest Asia into the hands of young and old throughout the world. Although I am small, I have nurtured the lives of many, and have taken on many different forms. I have been a dress, a spot of ink on ancient parchment, and a decoration of the deepest blue for nobility and royalty. I have helped catch the wildest creatures of the sea, and helped mothers nurse their starving young.
I have borne seeds, both brown and golden, small and oval shaped and crunchy to the tooth. I have seen my offspring sprinkled on salads, consumed by the handful, and ground into dust. I have seen the dust of my children baked into breads and combined into muffins and pancakes. I have seen my seeds tapped for their precious oil, seen that oil consumed by the kilolitre. I have watched as the world woke up to me.
I am special, I am told. My seeds carry an important phytoestrogen, a chemical compound known as a lignan, a powerful antioxidant which helps fight diseases, among them that great human scourge called cancer. Recent studies have shown that cancer patients, both men and women, who have consumed one ounce per day of my seeds have slowed the progress of their cancers, delaying an increase in tumor growth and allowing them valuable time to wait for surgery. My seed's lignans are wonderful for the heart, too, as is the Omega-3 fatty acid Alpha-linolenic acid which they contain. They are essential, I am told, because only from a plant, such as myself, can they be found, and humans know of nothing better for the natural reduction of cholesterol, blood pressure, and artery plaque formation. Humans today are prizing my seeds for their helpful reduction of heart attacks and other negative coronary conditions. Many people today are also adding these lignans and omega-3 acids to my oil, so my seeds are no longer the only source.
The lignans in my seeds are a form of fiber, so my seeds are also very helpful in aiding digestion and bringing balance to people's digestive systems. They are tasty, too, I am told, and provide a wonderfully crunchy addition to breads and salads, in addition to their snackability for daily consumers. They have a deliciously nutty flavor, and are great in combination with many everyday dishes.
So who am I, who is so old, so helpful, so versatile? Who has been a part of human diets since the eldest of days, and who now, more than ever, is helping to bring balance and time to people's lives?
I am flax, also known as linseed, wonderplant.

Playstation Vita Sells 321K Units On Its First Week
So Sony's PSP Vita just launched this past week in Japan and the numbers are in! According to Famitsu via Andriasang the PSP Vita sold 321,407, which is very good when comparing to launches of previous handheld systems in Japan. Although that was the initial numbers recorded, Sony did not actually give us any indication of how much they shipped. Some reports came in claiming it was about 700k units, which would make it almost half of what they shipped, and that is by no means bad for week one.

Why are you dry sanding? As another said, the paper clogs - and I've found almost instantaneously. Also, when it does clog, it will usually form a bunch of globs on the paper that are digging furrows in your poly primer, 2K or even the epoxy if using a sandable like SPI. If you are worried that it will cause rust if you wet sand - it will only if you cut through the substrate then leave it for an extended time. Soak the torn, not cut paper pieces a half hour in a bucket of luke warm water with a couple drops of Dawn or similar dish soap, then alternating between several pieces, resoaking and cleaning in the bucket, go to work with whatever sanding blocks and pads blocks you have along with a constant water source(you aren't doing it
blocks are you?). You might not save a lot of time, but you will save the cost of lots of paper plus really have a 600 finished panel (I finished my last car with 1000 before paint
Now, how long does it take? As long as it takes to get a perfectly prepped surface ready for paint and often that's dependent on how slick you put the undercoat down and to cut the 'nubbies' down smooth

I had smart lipo done on August 9th so 2 months ago on my upper lower abs and love handles the whole procedure was awful they say no pain but i felt pain it felt like they were ripping through tissue or muscle, i wasnt small to begin with i gained some weight after doing hormone treatment for my endometriosis and was feeling very uncomfortable with how i looked after that.
i was in no way expecting to magically be skinny and have washboard abs but i just wanted to look better and help give me the confidence back i had lost so i could continue on with my weightloss. i am not hugely over weight but now 2 months after surgery i feel worse about myself then i did before. my love handles are smaller one side more then the other but i have hard lumps which came within days after my surgery. they are painful on top of making me looked deformed. i have smaller ones all on my sides so when i sleep at night it feels like im sleeping on sharp rocks and then i have a huge hard heavy painful spot around my belly button which is where the most pain was when they did my surgery and whenever i eat or drink anything i feel like i may explode. there is so much pressure from the hard mass on my stomach.
I found out the clinic i went to the doctor calls himself a cosmetic surgeon which makes you think plastic surgeon which i found out he is not he was a family practice and er doctor so knows nothing about doing cosmetic surgery. i had one of my incisions that took almost this whole 2 months to heal it had staph infection in it andi just saw an actual board certified plastic surgeon the other day that told me i probably have fat necrosis all over and there is nothing we can do about it for most likely at least a year so i can heal and then at that point i will have to have a tummy tuck.
i just want people out there to be really really careful when choosing the Doctor you are having it done by and only have a board certified plastic surgeon do it. i am now going to be suffering from my mistake it sounds like for a long time and i even missed two weeks of work from this because i got so sick cause i had an infection inside which thankfully the new doctor said is gone. but i am only able to work part time because the pain gets so bad and my legs and ankles swell up huge if i sit for to long which my job is a desk job and i cant even wear regular pants anymore. i have to wear stretch pants or maternity jeans because the pressure from the pants hurts on my stomach and even my stretchy pants hurt. I went into this so excited thinking i would come out looking and feeling good and the total opposite happened. I just want people out there to know that this sounds so wonderful and like it can make you look good which im sure is true with the right Doctor but can also turn out horrible. my new doctor told me he has seen cases from the same guy who did mine where he punctured through into their intestines. so again be careful if i could take having it done back i would because i look just as bad if not worst then before

i have been searching the web for lead sputnik molds, sometimes called satellite molds, these are the molds that wire placed into the molds (not claw sinker molds) after the mold is poured the wires are bent to meet the slots in the mold, the sinkers are used in surf fishing when the current is strong. i would appreciate any information. thank you nubietwo
I am going to move your topic to another section to hopefully get you some good responses.
I have a variety of molds all bought from sources in Europe. Right now with the Dollar in the crapper (and sinking further) you will pay a pretty penny for anything bought from over there. Even when the exchange was more favorable I have spent as much as $80 for a mold between actual cost and shipping.
Many of the high quality wired molds are scarce, they were based on the tournament casting molds manufactured by DCA who went belly-up without warning, putting the casting community into a tizzy world-wide searching for sanctioned molds. Some of the quick to fill the void knock-offs leave a lot to be desired but a good secondary maker is Namix; even they can be hard to find though and scarcity means higher prices. The Namix "moulds" on eBayUK right now are £29.95 Buy it Now ($48.86 @ 9/18/09, 10:05:08AM, 1 GBP = 1.63149 USD) . . .
The UK eBay site is a good search engine to discover what is out there but buyer beware, most Euro sellers don't like shipping to the USA and their rates show this. Get a firm quote for the total price before committing to buy. Make sure the European Union Value Added Tax (EU-VAT) which can be between 15% and 17.5% is dropped out (making the above Namix actually $41.53).
Put up a "WTB" post in the Marketplace, that might work too .
Here ya' go! but....
As the good Sgt says; 'hold on to your pocketbook'.
With the exchange rate such as it is, it would probably be cost prohibitive.
I still have a 5 oz DCA(no longer made) on loan, 'somewhere'. Have to check. C2
what is the problem with someone making these molds stateside, instead of having to go to the foreign mkt. i did buy a wired mold from england, was the worst mold i ever bought. nothing lined up when the wires were inserted,instead of the wires going in at an angle these went straight in and did not line up with the slots. i emailed the co, but will not respond now, i guess i got the shaft. i would really like to buy a DCA
Using a modified trolling sinker mold is an option, even though I have the UK molds I also pour a monster sputtie from a Palmer 601 (IIRC) 6 & 8 oz trolling sinker mold.
DCA 150 gram on right, Palmer trolling sinker on the left.
If I was going to get a trolling sinker mold to drill I would get the Do-It mold model INT-345B, a 3-4-5 oz mold that casts a nice aerodynamic tapered sinker.
I bought mine at K-Mart in the 4 oz size sinkers for less then 2$ not the mold just the sinkeers premade
Sarg- do you drill the mold or each sinker for wires

Product introduction:
Deep groove ball bearings generally consists of a pair ring, a set of cage, a set of steel ball. Its structure is simple, easy to use, is the most common production, the most widely used type of bearings. This type of bearings is mainly used to bear radial load, but also can withstand a certain amount of either the direction of the axial load. When within a certain range, increase the bearing radial oil gap, this kind of bearing has the properties of Angle contact ball bearing, also can withstand a large axial load. Deep groove ball bearings on the shaft after, can make the shaft or shell axial displacement limit within the scope of the bearing axial. At the same time, when the shell hole and shaft bearings (or their inner circle) relative tilt, (no more than 8'- 16', according to clearance) can still work normally. Since there are tilted, you are bound to reduce the service life of the bearing.

A perfect haven and wonderful location
We recommend making good use of the little known, sandy and wholly unspoilt Gialos beach, 5 mins below Athani and only 15 mins away. It's separated from Egremni to the south by only a 0.5 km promontory and stretches for miles northwards. Parking is right on the beach. At end-Sept we were completely alone, but have never found more than 4 couples there in low season - perfect!
Also take home plenty of pine honey from the co-operative on the way to Athani – it doesn't crystallise and keeps for years (though we buy 8 jars every year!).

A perfect haven and wonderful location
Our fifth year at Geofos and we still find it so difficult to think of a better place to be – we always arrive, look all around us and think "Oh yes, now I remember why – it's even more lovely than I ever remembered." Total peace, goat bells tinkling down below, wonderful views over land, sea and islands in every direction, huge clear starry skies, moonlight bathing the terraces and hillsides, fresh bread hanging on the door every morning, Lefkada sausage, tomatoes and basil for lunch, a warm welcome from the small tavernas to the west between the villa and Athani and gorgeous sandy beaches a short drive through such lush and pretty pine and larch woods. And not forgetting the all-important delicious beds and linens! Thank you yet again!

Perfect Stay
After a very tiring year , we were lucky to be advised by a very close friend of ours of the availability of the Ourania luxury villas in the splendid island of Lefkada. We finally managed to rent for two weeks the excellent villa GEOFOS.
During our stay we enjoyed to the fullest all the comforts, luxury and unparalleled service the owner had organized for all tenants of her properties. Nature gave us abundantly its gifts and when the moment of departure came, we had the sadness of those who were leaving behind a small paradise on earth... We are both determined to go back as soon as our commitments would allow...
Great quiet holiday home for a larger group.
We have very much enjoyed our stay at the property. A fantastic place for a larger group to hide away for a while. We have used the kitchen every night and enjoyed the evenings until late at the property.
Restaurants and shops are a distance away, so perfect when you like self catering.
Our best experience on Lefkada
We have been to Lefkada on 4 occasions, 3 using the services of a UK specialist tour operator. This however, was by far our best experience. Ourania and her team have only one goal - to make their guests happy.
Ourania is a very thoughtful and intelligent lady (not wishing to patronise) but this is important - she is quite different to a typical holiday property owner. She respects the environment, is very sensitive and her heart is full of warmth. This doesn't come over as a money-making venture, but a happiness making one.
Others have described the villa more eloquently than me. Suffice to say that the peacefulness of the location and the quality of the accommodation was the best we have ever found on Lefkada. The best beach in the world is only 25 minutes away - 5 miles of sand and shingle with no more than 100 people on it. I'll leave you to find it!
Thank you again to Ourania and her team for a wonderful stay, perfect for our 30th Wedding Anniversary.
Our Place in History and the Sun.
Last summer we accompanied our daughter, grandchildren and her husband to the most ideal spot on Earth, the Villas of Ourania and specifically to Geofos. The villa was designed to combine the views of the sea, the court yard and the pool with the luxurious interior. The pool spilled into the ever changing sea. The stars at night blended with the villa and the moon light reflected off the rocky exterior walls. We felt the magic of history and we felt the presence of wise ancient philosophers and star gazers.
We drove from Athens via Patras with much anticipation arriving effortlessly to Vassiliki and the taking a picturesque road to the villas. A grand gated entrance greeted us as we approached the villas, thus giving us the privacy and security we desired. A peeble flat road took us directly to Geofos where we were set free from the rigors of modern day life. everything we needed was close by, the bay of Porto Katchiki, the exquisite Taverna of Oasis as well as local cafes. The morning sunrise was viewed directly from our bedroom and the sunset from the point of Akrotiri. Driving in this area of lefkada was simple and safe, and the distances were short. With out doubt, this was the best familiy vacation we have ever undertaken. We left well rested and happy, having bonded with our daughter, her family and our grandchildren.
The owner was always ready to answer questions and to provide any assistance we asked for. She personally drove us to a water park and arranged for a full day of activities with out any additional compensation. Daily mad service was provided. The service was punctual and efficient. They quickly noted our daily habits and made sure not to interfere. We participated in a variety of activities, from sailing to hiking and even took a cruise to Cephalonia and Skorpios. Everything was ideal and relaxed. I recommend Ourania's Villas without any reservations.
wonderful house
Wonderful house with magnificent views. Everything kindly organized for a nice stay with plenty of nice details. Excellent for a getaway though if looking for nightlife and activies a little far away from all. Perfect for four couples (four wonderful rooms), though five would loose intimacy. A little bit hot at night but the overall opinion is great!

Activity and Interests
Luxurious villa GEOFOS is located to the west side of leflada island, few minutes drive from "Porto Katsiki" (8km) and "Egkremni" (12km), two of the most famous beaches in Greece, it is close to Athani (9km), a small village with a beautiful coast and several tavernas with panoramic view of the sea and sunset. Vasiliki town where visitors can engage in a number of water sports is even closer in the opposite direction, a 6km drive (of which 4km are earth-road). In Vasiliki there are taverns and restaurants to dine in as well as local shops and a super market for provisions, an ATM machine and medical centre. Further east a 25 min drive to Nidri and all the eastern beaches such as Poros, Amouso and Syvota with its yachting marina fronted by bars and taverns. Fantastic daily cruise from Vasiliki and Nidri to smaller islands Meganisi, Skorpios and others, as well as cruises to private beaches and day trips to the nearest islands such as Ithaki and Kefalonia

I wonder if anybody has any experience with this particular model. I'd like to find out about BTU's, capacity, burn times, etc. I thought it would fit in my small place better than the big ole Monticello I'm using.

|Official Title ICMJE
|Phase 2 Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial of Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation After Stroke
|Brief Summary
This study will determine the safety and efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in treating acute ischemic stroke (stroke resulting from a blood clot in the brain).
TMS was found to be effective and safe in the set up of depression. TMS acts by generating magnetic fields in the brain which simulate neuro-chemical changes and stimulate neuronal activity translating into increased secretion of growth factors such as brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This is followed by positive effects of these growth and survival factors on neuronal sprouting, re-organization and also potentially on neurogenesis. Hence it is postulated that TMS will have a positive effect on the recovery rate and extent of recovery after stroke. Brainsway innovative project involves the development and use of deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in humans to treat a host of behavioral disorders, including depression and addiction. Brainsway developed a novel coil design for stimulation of deep structures in the human brain and conducted several safety and efficacy studies and recently completed a large study (70 subjects) demonstrating effectiveness in depressive patients. Deep TMS produces directed electromagnetic fields that can induce excitation or inhibition of neurons deep inside the brain. The treatment is non-invasive, with no significant side effects, and no need of hospitalization or anesthesia. Consistent with animal studies using brain stimulation deep TMS of the prefrontal cortex was found to exert potent antidepressant effects on patients not previously responsive to antidepressant drugs in two different studies. Therefore, it is expected that TMS will also be safe in patients with stroke.
Patients between 18 and 80 years of age who have had a mild or moderate acute stroke may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical examination, blood tests, rating of neurological deficits such as cognition deficits or problems walking that resulted from the stroke, and a computed tomography (CT) or a magnetic resonance (MRI) scan of the head. CT involves the use of specialized X-rays and MRI involves a magnetic field to obtain images of the brain.
All participants will receive standard medical and rehabilitation therapy for stroke. In addition, patients recruited for the study will receive x sessions of TMS with the Brainsway device delivered over the motor strip of the affected hemisphere. Each session will last for y minutes. Sessions will begin on day 3 after stroke onset and will be given on an alternate day basis for 14 days (7 treatments). Patients will be monitored daily until discharge from the hospital, or until day 17, whichever is earlier. Assessments will include physical examinations and safety evaluations including blood tests to and MRI or CT scans to evaluate both the response to treatment and side effects if needed. Patients will return for a follow-up examination 30 and 90 days after treatment conclusion to evaluate their recovery rate and functional status.

Samson Mwathethe has said reports suggest al Shabaab militants in Somalia are using some KDF soldiers as human shields.
This brings to the fore al Shabaab's earlier claim that it captured soldiers in an attack on an African Union base in Somalia on Friday.
The group, which did not give the number of soldiers being held, also said in a statement that more than 100soldiers were killed, revising up the number from 63.
Some websites in the country reported that the al Qaeda-linked militants captured 12 soldiers in the attack in El Adde.
Mwathethe, who is the Chief of Defence Forces, noted that the information demonstrates how delicate a search, rescue and recovery operation operation is.
But he added that "the enemy has been degraded" and that security forces will not let Kenya suffer more casualties.
In a statement on Sunday, Mwathethe noted the public's need for details on the assault but said the operation was the priority at this time.
"Al Shabaab are evolving and competing for space but this does not undermine our operational and combat capability," he said.
"Our resolve to combat terrorism remains," he further said, and noted that Kenyan forces closed in on the militants in a "concerted effort of land air assets".
The Chief of Defence Forces asked the public not to share information that could compromise Kenyan troops' pursuit of the terrorists. He said updates will be released as they become available.
Mwathethe commended soldiers killed in the ambush which has been described as the deadliest since KDF joined the African Union Mission in Somalia in 2011.
To their families he said: "I assure you that the Kenya Defence Forces will stand with you till the end.."
"The blood of our fallen heroes was not shed in vain. We will fight them [al Shabaab] deep in their hideouts. We will smoke them out of their caves and follow them to the end in honour of every drop of blood of Kenyans."
Early Sunday, several Kenyan soldiers injured in the attack were flown to the country. Four were received at Wilson Airport in Nairobi following the attack whose number of casualties is yet to be released.
In a statement at the airport on Sunday, Defence CS Raychelle Omamo said the attack was launched against a company-size force of soldiers, without making clear if this was the size of the Kenyan contingent in the area or the mixed force.
A military company can range between 80 to 250 soldiers. Al Shabaab often cites higher figures for death tolls than those given by officials, who usually play down the numbers.
Details will be sent directly to families, Omamo said, adding: "Allow the families privacy as they mourn. Full details of those injured and killed will be made public after families affected are notified."
"The soldiers who were airlifted were critically injured. Be patient, information will be availed to you. We are determined to bring our soldiers home," she also said.
Amisom has driven al Shabaab from major strongholds in Somalia in a wave of offensives. But the group still controls some rural areas and frequently launches attacks saying it wants to drive out the "invaders".
Thank you for participating in discussions on The Star, Kenya. Note that:
- Unwarranted personal abuse and defamatory statements will be deleted.
- Strong personal criticism is acceptable if justified by facts and arguments.
- Deviation from points of discussion may lead to deletion of comments.

AC temp thru vent
Can anybody check the AC temperature thru the vent at idle,on recirc and fresh air,im trying to compare my readings are 49 at recirc and 52 on fresh.
Re: AC temp thru vent
a/c temp readings are going to vary depending on outdoor conditions (temp and humidity) as well as current cabin temp(return air temp) in addition, a non moving vehicle sitting at a light will have warmer air than a moving vehicle with lots of airflow across the condensor. in general if you can get close to a 40 degree differance between outdoor air temp and supply air temp you're in the ballpark. at night the lowest i would expect to get would be in the high 30s at the vents
