Ms. Teresa Van Winkle continues to be a consummate resource of inspiration and hope for the Alamogordo, New Mexico community. She inspires all of us to look for exceptional ways to fulfill our goals of service above self to our neighbors, friends, and to those individuals in need of medical resources. These resources help individuals fight cancer and to succeed as a healthy individual.
We (especially myself) believe that Teresa's mission at CAPPED is the lifeline that holds our community in high regard and for all persons who need hope and resources to survive cancer.
Teresa is our symbolic "Mother Teresa and our blessed Mary." We love her very much.
Thanks, Teresa!
As the premier cancer awareness entity in our small community of Alamogordo, NM; the Executive Director of CAPPED (Ms. Teresa Van Winkle) gives tirelessly and abundantly of her time, talent and resources. Volunteers in our community love what they do for CAPPED and truly love to assist CAPPED any time Teresa calls them.
During my nine plus years in the Alamogordo community; my daughter and husband continue to give volunteer assistance and as well personal monetary donations to CAPPED when time allows. I also continue to obtain ionic foot baths for a minimal fee as well as serve as an advisor on services that are non-cancer related.
Without the CAPPED organization; individuals who need emotional support or medical referral services would have no hope.
CAPPED gives hope and a positive outlook to many individuals in need of a place to go for counseling and special needs cancer assistance. CAPPED provides wigs or caps as well as referrals services to cancer specialists. Sometimes other organizations may have unintentionally or are unable to assist individuals with financial or emotional support—CAPPED always come to their rescue.
Teresa, thanks again, for allowing me to give this testimony about how wonderful your organization is and its gift of hope. This hope is especially true for individuals with meager resources who often have no emotional or medical support. I truly believe that individuals in Alamogordo and nearby communities thank you for help with their cancer issues.

Thanks sincerely for allowing me to give my testimony about this wonderful organization which gives hope to so many needy individuals with meager resources. Without CAPPED; individuals who need services and who receive services would have no without hope. CAPPED gives hope and a positive outlook for these so many persons in need of places to go for counseling and other types of assistance when all other organizations have abandoned them.
Sincerely, Dr. Paulette Hilton-Robinson, CFO - PaWaMiGa & Associates, Inc.
I have provided training for many of the volunteers at CAPPED to provide support for those with cancer and their loved ones. Never have I encounter more devoted volunteers in the field of cancer support. The same can be said of the executive director who commits the majority of her waking hours to make sure CAPPED is providing the very best services possible to fulfill its mission.
Being a Board Member of CAPPED has awarded me the opportunity to see, first hand, the tremendous work that is being done to support and help those in the community with cancer and other diseases. Tresa's outreach helps people of all ages, not only with the services offered but by educating. Tresa is pro-active in the Awareness and Prevention part of the name.
In July 2012 I was diagnosed with Ovarian 3c cancer. I was stunned but headed off for treatment in Texas. I live in NM so when I came home I was a long distance from my doctors. My husband started checking for support groups in my local area and found CAPPED. He was told I could get wigs, ionic foot baths, massages, and emotional support if I would just visit. During my first visit Tresa VanWinkle shared stories, helped me find two wigs, supplied me with hats, but mostly made me realize there was help and people who cared about my outcome. These caring people wanted to inform me of ways I could make life more comfortable and healthy. It has been at least a year since I first visited CAPPED. The people there are very caring and supportive and go out of their way to assist me. I am currently getting ionic foot baths at least once a week. My feet got so bad that I could hardly walk and the foot baths have made a huge difference. CAPPED offers as much or as little assistance as you need. Every service I have used there has been "no charge." They are making a huge difference to cancer patients in Otero county. I would encourage anyone with cancer or other types of illness to go there and benefit from their many services.

I have volunteered at CAPPED for five years. I have developed a fond appreciation for the services Tresa VanWinkle provides and the lives she has touched. I have referred many friends to her and sincerely believe she has saved many lives, helped families cope (as they are often right next to their loved ones on this journey), help individuals get benefits such as insurance and discounted services. She works with individuals who provide a variety of services from ionic foot baths, hypnotherapy, and much more. I have lost friends and loved ones to cancer and can defiantly attest to the support and love that I have felt here at CAPPED dealing with lose, anger, and finally resolution as I honor the memories of my loved ones.
I have known Tresa Van Winkle RN for 15 years. Her passion and drive in starting and operating CAPPED is an inspiration to every one she meets. I have been fortunate to know about CAPPED and been able to refer individuals to the "Miracle on New York Ave" when they had questions, concerns, fears about cancer. Tresa is professional, caring and knowledgeable and is well known and respected in the community. CAPPED is a valuable asset and tremendous force for good in the Alamogordo and surrounding communities.

As a former member of the integrative health care community I attended CAPPED monthly meetings and found CAPPED to be a very positive influence on practitioners by providing a space to practice, and encouraging community among practitioners, patients and the public. Tresa Van Winkle helps many people in the county and CAPPED is a valuable resource. I am grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in this pioneering non-profit, for it serves so many, in so many ways.
It has been such an honor to be associated with CAPPED. My respect for Tresa and her vision grows with each year I work with her. CAPPED will continue to gain my respect and financial support for years to come. It is community based and every dollar stays in Alamogordo and does not go to executives' big salaries and large city agendas. CAPPED is well-known in Alamogordo and has lots of community support. Most children remember the Sun Safe Program from school and local parades, health fairs and community-sponsored events. Many have benefited from free mammograms and treatment if needed. From nutrition and cooking classes to the development of a Center for Integrative Health CAPPED has lead the way in Alamogordo for cancer prevention and early detection.
I began volunteering for CAPPED, Inc., September, 2012. I traveled 180 miles one way, at my own expense, to be here three days every month to do whatever Tresa needed because I believe so passionately in this cause. I found, at CAPPED, that every staff member and volunteer is there to help and support anyone that walks through the doors. You walk through the doors of CAPPED and something magical happens. I can't explain it, but I know in my heart, this is where I want to be, this is where I need to be. Going through cancer with my husband and several other family members and friends, I wanted to help people learn how to cope and get through the tragic effects of this terrible disease. CAPPED and Tresa has helped me to d o this. I began working at CAPPED as a full time employee in June, 2013. In addition to my paid hours, I continue to work as volunteer staff several hours a week because being a part of this organization allows me to have the satisfying feeling that maybe I make a difference in other people's lives. The wonderful feeling I receive when someone says, "Thank you, you have helped me," is one of the most rewarding feelings I could ever want.

My hair growth has not stopped after Laser Hair Removal and i find it very surprising. I was under the impression that the hair follicles get totlly burnt and dead after a laser hair removal and that hair does not grow back.Even if it does, the growth is very mild and after a few regular sittings, the hair follicles get totally burnt and that on average 80% of the hair stop growing. But that has not been the case with me. I have lot of hair around my chest and laser has not removed them. I went for 4 sittings of laser hair removal, but the coarse, thick hair around my chest and belly are still there. At first, i saw some improvement. The hair began to disappear. The treatment was slightly painful and my chest and belly was red for several days. I had 4 sittings and after each sitting, i saw some improvement and alot of redness. However, once the treatment stopped, after 4 months the hair bagan to grow back! This is so wierd. For 4 months i was hairless and smooth and then i started seeing a stubble grow back on my belly area. After the 6th month, almost all my belly and chest hair is back and i feel that i have wasted a thousand bucks. Laser is supposed to be a permanent solution but not for me. For some reason, the treatment has not been successful on my chest and belly. The doc says that my hair growth is severe and that i might need more treamtents. Still, there should have been atleast some improvement in the 4 times that i went. But no, the hair is back to where it was earlier and i now am in 2 minds about going again. Think i may as well keep waxing as i cant afford to go for laser every 6 months.

If your going after performance why are you adding tons of unnecessary weight like 4 subwoofers ?

Michael Keaton spilled the beans that he and Tim Burton are officially talking about getting a Beetlejuice sequel off the ground.
Keaton said this would be the one film he'd be interested in doing again and that if Tim Burton was involved he couldn't say no.
This could be pretty cool. Don't screw it up guys.

DIY: Coolant Leak Repair ( Cap w Seal and Expanding Coolant Pipe) w Pics

BMW 645 Coolant leak repair (Cap with Seal Repair and Expanding Coolant Pipe Installation w Pics)
By Michael R. Brown
(Estimated time to complete the job is 6-8 hrs)
****See the PDF document attached for the complete job details!
- The PDF contains the following:
- List of Parts needed to do the jobs
- List of Tools to complete the jobs
- Detail Pictures while completing the jobs
- Lessons Learned while completing the jobs
** SORRY For some reason my pics are not showing up. If you can't view the PDF send me a message on the forum or an email to the address below and I will send you the word document version.
:thumbup:* This job will save you $2000 on the Cap with Seal Job and $9000 on the Coolant Pipe Job. Both of these parts fail around 80,000 to 100,000 miles and are known problems with the N62 engine. If you have any questions or you live in the Atlanta area and would like for me to complete the jobs for you, shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wow I'm speechless. This is a seriously good DIY.
I pray I never have to do this job. :)
Thanks! I tried to lay the jobs out as clear as I could. Hopefully, the DIY will help a lot of 6 Series owners save plenty money, although the parts alone are about $1100. I will pay $1100 over $9000 anyday.
What are the symptoms of this leak problem? Very good DIY, thanks.
Very good write up. Thanks.
I notived you disconnected the battery. Did you lose any programming?
The symptons was water coming from the front of the engine (valley plate) BMW calls it the Cap with Seal. When I took off the Cap with Seal, the rubber seal was totally flat and hard. I changed the coolant pipe too, because I was told by a BMW technician, that the pipe will start to leak next around 100,000 miles and it will cost about $9000 to repair.
As for unpluging the battery, I did have to reset all of my setting, but it only took about 15 min. Also, the active steering has to reset itself and it will after driving for a few.
I just want to say...THANK YOU!!! Using your "how-to" I successfully completed the cap and expanding coolant pipe installation yesterday. The total cost was approxiametly $900! A lot better than $9,000. I'm in South Carolina and visit the ATL often...I owe you a 6 pack! BTW, this was the first time I attempted anything this indepth so it took me about 9-1/2 hours. I wanted to make sure I did't jack something up. Thanks again!!!!!!!!
No problem bro! Glad I could help! :thumbup:
Especially for a common job that cost so much to repair. I figure it will prevent most 645/650 owners from getting rid of their rides once they find out how much it cost to fix the leaks. :yikes:
I have used a few DIYs on the forum and just wanted to return the favor.
Great writeup from Augusta!
Dayum! That is an impressive write-up and an impressive job all together! I hope I never have to do this either because paying $9k is out of the question for anything on this car!
Brown370 you are a god sent my friend, i was over in another forum just asking if there was any means of preventing the coolant pipe from going haywire but with your detailed instructions my best bud who is very car savvy will be able to do the job for me if something does go bad, thank you! @ dblaze im torn between picking up the 645 or the 650 only things that really matter to me are performance, sports and cold package and premium sound any advice for me?
No problem just returning the favor as other guys on this forum have helped me out. As for the 645 vs 650, go with the 650, because it has 30 more horsepower and MP3 capabilities. Also try to avoid the BMW Ellipsoid 121-Style wheels. They crack easily under normal driving. I had 2 cracked and one bent. I could not claim them under the class action lawsuit because my car was out of warranty. I hope this helps.
Silly question. But will this diy work on an 08' also
Shoot me the last 7 digits of your VIN and I will double check the EPC.
Will the Cap and Seal and Expanding Coolant Pipe problems occur in the 650 also? My understanding is the 645 had the coolant leak issue around 80K to 100K miles, but not so much for the 650. Please, someone shed some light on this issue. I'm going to be sick if my 650 starts leaking.
It's bad but not a catastrophic problem. An independent shop can fix it for ~ $2K which is a similar price to a complete brake and rotor job.

I just did another Cap w/ Seal and Expanding Pipe job yesterday on a 2004 545i E60 and the job was exactly identical to the 645. I have done this job 4 times without any leaks, but since you can't get the tool to test for leaks, it is a good idea to go ahead and remove the water pump. I will be updating this DIY to include the removal of the water pump( includes removing the Harmonic Balancer). It adds another 2 hours to the job, but you can verify that the seal is not pinched after the front seal is installed. See pic.
Also in the DIY, I stated that you should check for leaks, but good luck finding the tool. Note: You can pressurize the system by driving the car until it fully warms up. Then park the car and let it sit for 3 hours to fully cool down while pressurized.
i have 745i. your engine looks almost the same as mine, but in reality is it big difference between 745i and 645i ? thank you
+1. The engines are the same, and enough of the peripheral pieces are identical or nearly identical to those on a 745, so this DIY is definitely usable for them. I just did this on a 745i the long way (not using the expanding pipe), and am now putting it all back together, so I can verify this does look the same.
For additional information on doing it the long way using the stock pipe, poke through Wilson's "How to replace your coolant pipe, valve covers, timing gaskets and more" thread --> here.
coolant pipe
It is even easier on 7. less staff to take off:)
wow...amazing writeup. Great job!!!!
this is awesome DIY
thank you Great Job
(i don't know if i could do this my self ^^)

Dave likes to mount his iPhone 4 to his kayak to record some of the action and this day was no different. To protect his device, Dave used an Optrix case. Optrix makes a wide array of waterproof and high-activity minded cases that also cater to those that want to take video and pictures of their adventures.
Back to Dave's iPhone's story, Dave is riding a wave and gets turned over. While righting himself, his oar hits the camera mount and down goes the iPhone into the depths of the ocean. The iPhone continues to record video until the battery dies and then the device spends another 82 days in the water.
When it washes up on shore, a good Samaritan finds it, charges it up, turns it on, and called Dave's dad. The iPhone and Dave were happily reunited and the video tells the tale. Dave plans to keep video recording his kayaking exploits, "I just need to hold onto it."
Thanks Zack for the heads-up.

Sculptor creates Formula One cars with meaning
By Miral Fahmy
SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - Pintor Sirait loathes Formula One racing, so it's fitting the renowned Indonesian sculptor chose the superfast cars to highlight what he believes is wrong with mankind.
Sirait's stainless steel replicas of F1 race cars -- some life-size, some small enough to fit on a desk -- are mangled, riddled with bullets, inscribed with Chinese and Arabic script, engraved with traditional Javanese designs or kisses, and covered in provocative English phrases and supermarket-like barcodes.
The aim, Sirait says, is to make people stop and think about the state of modern man, and just what make Formula One racing so attractive.
"I hate Formula One," Sirait told Reuters on Friday, the opening day of his latest exhibition in Singapore, which hosts the world's only night-time Grand Prix race on Sept 25-27.
"It's loud, its obnoxious, but it's also something that excites people all over the world. For one reason or another, its become a symbol, something that people worship, and I wanted to explore exactly what is being worshipped."
Sirait has held several exhibitions outside his native Indonesia, including the Netherlands, China, France, Korea, Malaysia and the United States.
He started the racing car series, of which eight sculptures are on display in Singapore alongside helmets that echo tribal masks, three years ago, as a symbol of globalization.
"Formula 1 race cars ... have become something of an obsession in Asia, standing as an intense, telescoped symbol of globalization," author and journalist Jamie James wrote in the exhibition's catalog. Continued...

Maddie's Room is actually very nice - comfortable chairs, lots of outlets. If you don't look closely, you might think you're at an airport lounge, except I'm the only one who appears to be working.
Everybody else is just waiting.
This is the surgical waiting room at UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital. I am sitting with my sister, and with my nephew's girlfriend, while my nephew undergoes surgery on his crushed leg.
No, don't feel sorry for us. My nephew might just be the luckiest guy in this building. He was riding his motorcycle to work on Monday morning, on the freeway, when he was hit by a car that suddenly switched lanes.
When I found him here in the ER on Monday, after a series of panicked calls, he was in great pain. His broken leg was elevated. And every nurse and doctor who walked into his cubicle said the same thing that I did when I saw him: "You are so lucky."
I know many people love motorcycles. My nephew was one of them. I expect I will hear from many of them, who will tell me that they ride safely, that it's motorists who need to share the road and not motorcyclists who need to abandon it. Sorry. After a day in Maddie's Room and a week here at this fine hospital, you're not going to convince me - or any of the doctors I've talked to.
The statistics I could find may explain why. According to 2006 statistics from the government, roughly 13 cars per 100,000 end up in fatal crashes; the equivalent statistics for motorcycles were 72 per 100,000. On a per-mile-traveled basis, the risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater for motorcycles than cars. While the number of fatalities dipped slightly in 2005, it was headed back up in 2011 and up again in 2012. The motorists are more often to blame than the cyclists, but so what? The cyclists die. As for accidents and injuries, it's harder to find good numbers, but common sense, and the experience of the professionals here, suggests that people riding around in the open air who get hit by thousands of tons of metal and steel don't fare as well as those who are inside those vehicles and cushioned by air bags in every direction.
Years ago, when my children were small, an older mother taught me a lesson I never forgot: If you make a lot of rules, she said, it's too easy for your kids to break one, and once they break one, the rules aren't really rules. So keep the list short and absolute.
I asked her what her list was, and she replied almost automatically: No heroin. No motorcycles. I added drunk drivers.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls as lower oil prices weigh on energy stocks
TORONTO May 2 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Monday as lower oil prices weighed on energy stocks, offsetting gains for telecom stocks after BCE Inc said it would buy Manitoba Telecom Services Inc.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 66.99 points, or 0.48 percent, at 13,884.46, shortly after the open. Six of the index's 10 main groups were lower. (Reporting by Fergal Smith; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

I was injected a month ago directly beneath both eyes with Botox. The swelling referred to my other people on this site seems to have resulted from the Botox migrating and the Doctors have agreed that the effects will wear off.
Does this also apply when the area was deliberately injected with the effects showing a week or so after and still terribly bad after a month?

hey Ash!!
about all this dropping out deal...
I think that, in addition to the new rule (nomination for 2 months in a row bans you from ROTM for a whole year), we should make a new rule on top of it... like whoever doesn't want to run for ROTM (for whatever reason), has to say so in advance, just so we dont't have this kind of problems. Some people here are dropping out because they get greedy and they don't want to blow their 2 chances and then not be able to get nominated for a whole year. It's like... "yeah, all of you please nominate me, my car is badass, but the minute a better car is nominated I'll drop out".
To me that's BS. Just the fact that people are nominating their cars for ROTM is a prop to them, they should be grateful for that instead of dropping out later because they think they don't stand a chance. Winning is cool and all, but it's more about the fun... right?? Like for example, a lot of people in here have admitted trying to race (or at least keep up) with a mustang or a corvette or whatever. I mean... face it, the focus doesn't stand a chance against them, but you still do it for the hell of it, because it's fun. If it wasn't for the fun, then why waste gas knowing you're gonna loose. It's the same thing.
just my 2 cents.

Musculoskeletal pain in lower limbs in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery
Ivana Teles de Melo; Márcia São Pedro
Course of Physiotherapy of Social College Salvador, BA, Brazil
The World Health Organization estimates that in 2015 there will be approximately
2.3 billion overweight adults and more than 700 million obese individuals worldwide.
Excess weight can lead to several complications, such degenerative diseases.
AIM: To estimate the frequency and local of musculoskeletal pain in the lower limbs before and after bariatric surgery.
METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study consisting of 22 obese individuals who filled in questionnaires before and six months after undergoing bariatric surgery. Data were shown through a descriptive analysis. The statistical analysis was performed with significance level at 5%.
RESULTS: Musculoskeletal pain in the lower limbs was placed preoperatively in 87.5% in the ankle and foot, knee 80% and 91.7% in the hip. Postoperative pain remained present in 12.5% in the ankle and foot, knee 20% and 8.3% in the hip, with statistical significance (p <0.001).
CONCLUSION: Obese people who underwent bariatric surgery experienced a marked reduction in both frequency and intensity of musculoskeletal pain located in order in the hip, ankle and foot, and knee.
Headings: Musculoskeletal pain. Lower extremity. Bariatric surgery.
The World Heath Organization9 calculates that in 2015 will be about 2.3 billion of adults with overweight and more of 700 million with obesity worldwide. Considered chronicle disease, more prevalence in developed countries, reaches men and women of all ethnicities and age, reduces the quality of life and has high rates of morbidity and mortality.
The weight excess affects practically all the body with numerous complications, among them, the joint degenerative diseases4. The obesity and aging of cartilage cause loss of agility and has as result decrease of function of articulation11,14, more frequent pain and secondary premature injuries of cartilage.
The pain is defined as "sensory and emotional unpleasant experience associated to real damage (International Association of Study of Pain - IASP) and represents the main cause of inability to work and quality of life17. Brazil don't have official data on the social costs of pain. Despite the constant increase of cases of obesity and articular injuries related to it, few papers in literature are in connection to the pain level and functional commitment associate to obesity.
The objective of the present study was to estimate the frequency and local of musculoskeletal pain in lower limbs before and after of bariatric surgery, and check if occurs decrease in its frequency by reduction of overweight.
This is a descriptive transverse study accomplished in Salvador, BA, Brazil and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Salvador University with protocol number 04.10.88. All the participants signed the free and informed consent term - 196/96 Resolution of the National Committee of Ethics involving human beings.
Were selected individuals of both sexes, candidates to bariatric surgery with good level of understanding and cooperation. Were excluded the individuals with fracture of lower limbs, those with immunological (rheumatic) and neurological diseases and the ones using wheelchair.
The data were collected on period of October of 2009 to October of 2010, consisting of initial interview and application of Structured Nordic of Musculoskeletal Modified Symptoms Questionnaire, Lequesne Questionnaire and Corporal Map associate to Visual Analog Scale (EVA). This last allows the exact pain location associated to its intensity painting on corporal map.
After six months of the operation - when occurs the greater weight loss - the patients were invited to return to interview and to fill questionnaires, Nordic Modified and Lequesne. When the last one had any punctuation different from zero, they continued filling Corporal Map and EVA, to measure the intensity and if the pain was previous or recent. On Nordic was considered only the question evaluating the last seven days. The other two questions, considering the occurrence of pain or discomfort in lower limbs and if the pain interfered with professional activity, were discharged of the study to avoid the interference of time between six and 12 months.
The socio-demographic variables evaluated were gender, education, age and race. The level of education was categorized in first, second and third degrees. The clinical variables were weight (Kg) age and Mass Body Index (BMI). The musculoskeletal location were hip, knee, ankle and foot.
The data bank was created on Excel 2003 and analyzed by R software (Version 2.11.1 eliminating possible errors or inconsistency. Was made descriptive analysis (absolute frequency / relative, median, 1º. and 3º. quartiles) aiming to identify the general and specific characteristics of the population. To verify of existence of significant differences before and after the intervention was utilized the nonparametric test of Wilcoxon in paired samples and quantitative variables, and the test of Mcnemar to the nominal dichotomous variables. The level of significance was of 5%.
The data included 23 patients that attended the inclusion criteria. One patient was removed due to the impossibility of being operated in a period possible to realize the two interviews. The other 22 performed the evaluation pre and postoperatively. Were 18 women and four men with median BMI of 40.50 kg/m2 (q1= 35,75 and q3= 43) (Table 1).
In 100% of patients the type of operation was Fobi- Capella15.
The patients were evaluated before and six months after the surgical procedure and happened important reduction in intensity of pain, considering p<0.05, both on Lequesne - median value before =13 (q1=10,38 and q3=14,50) and after = 0 (q1=0 e q3=2) and on EVA - postoperative median value of = 0 to hip (q1=0 e q3=1,25), knee and ankle (q1 e q3=0).
The question related to pain in last seven days - Nordic Modified Questionnaire - demonstrated that on preoperative the frequency of musculoskeletal pain reached 63.6% on ankle and foot, 45.5% in knee and 54.5% in hip. On postoperative it remained present in 9.1% on ankle and foot, 9.1% on knee and 4.5% on hip (Figure 1). It can be said that the improvement of symptom was 87.5% on ankle and foot, 80% in knee and 91.7% in hip. On postoperative the pain remained present 12.5% on ankle and foot, 20% on knee and 8.3% on hip. The decrease of number of patients that had pain on postoperative time was significant with p<0.001 in evaluation of hip, p<0.008 on knee and p<0.002 on ankle and foot (Figure 2). Among patients maintaining pain or discomfort six months after only one was very severe (Lequesne Questionnaire) on left foot.
The frequency of musculoskeletal pain in lower limbs decreases in obese submitted to bariatric surgery as identified on present study. The operation held in all the patients was the Fobi-Capella technique, characterized mainly by restriction to food intake15.
The relationship of bariatric surgery with the relief of musculoskeletal pain in the lower limbs is in connection with the decrease in joint overload6,11,13,14. The low back pain is the more prevalent13,14. Soccol et al.14, assessed the prevalence of arthralgia in obese subjects before and in the late postoperative period of bariatric surgery, using the test of six-minute walk. The present study used static evaluations, in which the subjective perception that the hip joint had the highest rate of pain reduction on postoperative follow-up, probably was because the weight loss permitted joint to suffer less in biomechanical compensations to maintain posture and walking. The smaller reduction of knee pain, can be attributed to variables such as the type of activity, age, race and even topographic factors that can affect the results on comparative studies. Despite this difference, it is clear the need to continue looking for parameters to estimate which joint is more affected by musculoskeletal pain in the lower limbs.
Indeed, the decrease in weight on postoperative time is associated to lower incidence of musculoskeletal pain in lower limbs and improvement of functional capacity11,16.
Was identified in this study a population with high index of musculoskeletal pain in lower limbs, but not assisted by interdisciplinary and multiprofessional team. Therefore, it is necessary that professionals of health, including the physiotherapist, be aware with the potential complains of obesity, working together on the control of the different aspects of musculoskeletal pain and its functional limitations.
Obese people who underwent bariatric surgery experienced a marked reduction in both frequency and intensity of musculoskeletal pain located in order in the hip, ankle and foot, and knee.

motorcycle club
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
motorcycle club (plural motorcycle clubs) (abbreviated MC)
- A group of individuals whose primary interests and activities involve motorcycles.
Usage notes[edit]
In the US, the abbreviation "MC" can have a special social meaning from the point of view of the outlaw (a.k.a. one-percenter) subculture, and is usually reserved by them for those clubs that are mutually recognized by other MC clubs. This is indicated by wearing the "MC" patch on the back of a club jacket or vest.

TIME2SAVE: How to use newspaper to stop weeds in the garden
Question: We are redoing the landscaping in the front of our house. I'd really like to buy landscape fabric to prevent weeds, but it's so pricey. Is there a frugal alternative?
Answer: Many people overlook a very basic, inexpensive resource when it comes to weed prevention: the newspaper. Nothing fancy, just the kind that you read at your breakfast table each morning. Now, it has another purpose, too.
This is a tip I learned from my mom about keeping weeds out of flowerbeds or gardens. Newspapering a weeded flowerbed is a cheap, easy way to keep out unwanted weeds by denying them light. As you know, newspaper is easy to come by; in fact, most of us already get one every day. The method of using newspapers for weed control is inexpensive, and it's a great way to recycle old papers.
So how does it work? Newspaper amends the soil, leaving it soft and loose if it is currently hard and rocky. As the cotton fibers in the paper decompose, it makes your soil richer and softer for next year's planting. The hard clay soil in Tennessee, where I live, is a prime example of why I need to newspaper my beds.
Once you have your newspaper, get ready to grow a nice crop of earthworms. They love the layer where the paper meets the soil. And we all know worms are good for your plants — as well as handy on a fishing trip. While they are creepy and crawly, they are truly beneficial, and newspaper will have them flocking to you.
If you think landscaping fabric is still the best way to go, think again. Not only will weeds start growing through the microscopic holes in the fabric (also, many seeds are airborne and will just land on top anyway), but it's nearly impossible to pull them out when their roots are under/enmeshed in the fabric You literally have to cut the landscaping fabric off the ground to get the weeds out.
Getting started is easy: You'll need to weed your beds first and then lay down a thick layer of eight to 10 sheets of stacked newspaper. If you run out, wet cardboard will work, too; you can use old shipping boxes. Now, simply cover with a thick layer of mulch (about 3 inches) and you'll be weed-free for a few years before you need to put down more.
Simple, inexpensive and resourceful!

April 18 - Family Sunday at the Honolulu Academy of Arts
On Sunday, April 18 the Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday featured entertainment and themed activities suitable for families and people of all ages. Island architects lead keiki in a number of design projects including tea paintings, inspired by "Alice in Wonderland" and themed "Tea Party" to celebrate the 83rd birthday of the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
Architects also designed a mini putt putt course that was staged on the front lawn of the academy. The event was a great success and ran for 5 hours which gave many keikis a chance to play. Mahalo to Kevin Funasaki, AIA for coordinating this event again. Click here for more information or visit the Honolulu Academy of Arts website.
April 20 - Hawaii Public Radio Pledge Drive, AIA Members' Shift
On Tuesday, April 20 from 6am - 9am, 10 AIA Honolulu volunteers got up early to help out during the Hawaii Public Radio Pledge Drive. Eight architects were manning the phones while Charles Kaneshiro, 2010 AIA Honolulu President and Amy Blagriff, AIA Honolulu Executive Vice President went on air to urge people to pledge while also making a pitch for why Design Matters and Architecture Month. A big Mahalo to everyone that called in to make a pledge and to our volunteers. View HPR Facebook.
April 21 - Francis D.K. Ching Lecture: Seeing, Thinking, Drawing
On Wednesday, April 21 from 6pm-7:30pm at the University of Hawaii School of Architecture a packed auditorium listed to the free Francis D.K. Ching lecture titled Seeing, Thinking, Drawing.
This University of Washington professor emeritus and author presented his perspective on the relationship between traditional and emerging digital methods of drawing and design. In particular, he addressed the continuing relevance of free-hand drawing for architects and designers as one of tools available to today's professionals.
April 24 - Historic Architectural Walking Tours of DT Honolulu
On Saturday, April 24, AIA Honolulu held our annual Free Historical Walking Tour of Downtown Honolulu. ~180 people came out and walked the streets on a sunny and warm Hawaiian morning. Our wonderful tour guides took the walkers on an amazing stroll through our beautiful downtown where they met with our informative docents who taught them interesting facts about each of the featured buildings.
Many volunteers put in a lot of time to pull this off, and positive reactions from the participants made it all worthwhile. Below you can read some of the comments emailed to us:
"Each guide taught me something about the history of Honolulu using buildings that I have often passed by in too much of a hurry. I felt like I was peering into the vital and sometimes troubled history of Hawaii. Thanks AIA for the great community service that you are doing. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour"
"I want to express a big "Mahalo!" to those who took the time to organize and put this event together. Truly enjoyed the sites and the information shared by the various guides. Born and raised here, there's a tendency to take for granted the various historical buildings around Honolulu, without a deeper appreciation for the history they represent. So, this was a great walk through history and an eye opener about the value of these sites. Will encourage friends to sign up for future tours. Mahalo and have a great week."
"Thank you very much for organizing the architectural walking tour. Our guide was wonderful, as were the docents at each site, and we enjoyed it tremendously."
MAHALO! Mahalo to Spencer Leinweber, FAIA, Architecture Month Chair, David Kaahaaina, AIA, Walking Tour Chair and all 14 Docents and 16 Tour Guides. Thanks for an amazing job.
April 27 - Free Film/Panel Discussion: "Build Green"
On Tuesday, April 27 from 5:30pm-8:00pm at the Honolulu Design Center AIA Honolulu sponsored a documentary titled Build Green followed by a panel discussion.
Over 60 people attended, and even though we experienced some technical difficulties with the audio portion of the film presentation, our panelists did an admirable job of presenting engaging and insightful information to the audience. Or as Bobbie Kane, one of our local allied members put it:
"Actually although they had trouble with the movie last night, the panel of architects was simply excellent, and there was a wholesome discussion between the members of the panel and the audience. Well done."
Our deepest thanks go to moderator David Bylund AIA, and to panelists Steve Meder, University of Hawaii, Mark Ayers, AIA, Matthew Goyke AIA, Race Randle, ForestCity Hawaii and Matthew Pennaz, Long & Associates AIA, Inc.
April 30 - Design Studio Open House - "Firm Crawl"
On Friday, April 30 from 4:00pm-8:00pm seven wonderful architecture firms opened up the doors to our members and the public to learn more about their offices, projects and people.
Around 80 people put on their walking shoes and walked from firm to firm to see what great things each firm had to offer. This was a fun "walking networking party" - better than After Work!
Mahalo to all Participating Firms: Eight Inc., Group 70 International, Mason Architects, M5 Architecture, Next Design, RIM Architects & WATG.
Read some of the comments we received after the event:
"I wanted to let you know what a wonderful evening we had last Friday when we visited all seven of the Architectural firms during the Downtown Design Studio Open House. We were able to meet and talk with so many architects in a casual environment. The architectural firms provided great food and drinks and took their time to show us around their offices. It was humbling to see many of our projects that we manufactured on their walls and video screens. Thank you for setting this up! The food was delicious, the tours were educational, the Architects were gracious and informative; the evening was just fun!"
"Just a quick note to thank you for the great Architecture Open House Program on Friday night, April 30th. I never knew there were so many creative artists and wonderful business people in downtown Honolulu. I had a great time. A big mahalo to all the architecture companies that opened their offices for the community."
April 3 - Highlighting Green Design on the Big Island - The AIA Hawaii Island Section invited AIA members to attend a day of continuing education in sustainable design, built works old and new. Featured over the entire day were two newly completed leading edge designed school buildings including the Hawaii Preparatory Academy Energy Lab and an afternoon tour of Halau Hoolako at Kanu o Ka Aina. Members also toured the HPA Davies Chapel, and heared a lecture on sustainable design for schools.
April 15 - Celebrating Architects
Over 90 architects and guests, including one baby in stroller-to-be architect, showed up at the Pearl Ultra Lounge last Thursday, April 15 to celebrate our many new architects who received their Hawaii license in the past year.
A total of 16 of the 35 new architects were able to make this great party date. They were joined by architects, allied members, friends and guests representing more than 30 companies. Mahalo to all of you for coming out and showing your support!
The event brought together many familiar faces and some less frequently seen architects. Perhaps it was tax day and another good reason to have a drink. Delicious pupus, refreshing drinks and architects ready to party made this celebration a big success. Pictured above you can see some happy architects ready to party the night away. (Richard Olmstead, AIA in the forefront, left)
Mahalo to Louis Fung, AIA from Fung Associates, event organizers, and his incredible staff Amy Okada, Julie Y.C. Lam, Anne Gervais, and Mayu Tamayori for putting on such a great celebration. We can only say well done and we are already looking forward to next year!

/// Voiceless Blacklist Drops, Intelligence Plummets
The return of NBC's The Blacklist on Monday was undermined somewhat by a softer lead-in, but the season's No. 1 new series still managed to dominate the 10 p.m. time slot. According to Nielsen fast national data, the James Spader procedural delivered 9.11 million viewers and a series-low 2.5 in the adults 18-49 demo, marking a 22 percent drop from its most recent original broadcast (3.2). The Blacklist had been on a six-week hiatus before it returned last night with its 11th episode. Until Monday's return engagement, The Blacklist had only dipped below a 3.0 in the demo once before, notching a 2.9 rating on Nov. 4. Although NBC heavily promoted the thriller's return, the ratings decline was not wholly unexpected, given that The Voice is no longer buttressing The Blacklist's numbers from 8-10 p.m. Broadcast's No. 3 show returns for its sixth cycle on Tuesday, Feb. 24, the day after NBC wraps its coverage of the Sochi Winter Olympics. If The Blacklist's deliveries were watered down by a weak lead-in—a special installment of America Ninja Warriors drew a 1.9 in the demo, whereas The Voice's Monday Night show averaged a 4.0—CBS seems to have lost its footing entirely in the hour. After bowing to 16.5 million viewers and a 2.4 rating in a special Tuesday night post-NCIS premiere, the new sci-fi drama Intelligence took it on the chin in its regular time slot. Per Nielsen, the Josh Holloway vehicle averaged just 6.11 million viewers and a 1.1 18-49 rating, down 54 percent from its opener

U.S. Auto Sales Climb 3.7% in February
Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. continued to rise in February, albeit at a slower pace than a year earlier, as the prospect of job cuts and tax hikes amid budget wrangling in Washington appeared to damp car buying at month's end.
U.S. auto sales rose 3.7% to 1.2 million. The rate of sales, adjusted for seasonal fluctuations, equates to a full year of sales of 15.38 million, according to Autodata Corp.

Threat Environment
Hackers are unleashing an increasing volume of threats specifically targeting mobile devices. In 2014, the number of attacks against Android devices was 4 times greater than in 2013. While the majority of attacks focused on Android devices, there's now a growing volume of cyber threats targeting iPhones & iPads. Because iOS devices are so popular, cybercriminals are devoting more effort to compromising their security. Even connecting an iPhone to a Mac – to charge its battery – can result in malicious threats passing from Mac to iPhone.
BYOD Can Add to Your Risks
If we add in the growing adoption of BYOD (bring your own device) initiatives, the security risks are multiplied further. With employees' own mobile devices now carrying a mix of their own personal apps & data – plus corporate data and access passwords – the likelihood of security breaches has greatly increased. Furthermore, because mobile devices are so small, they're easily lost or stolen – and missing devices can give unauthorized users direct access to corporate systems and data.

4 Recommendations
nicayla's recommendation
These are so adorable - but they are only for the super pampered pups. They are inexpensive at GRpet.com but how many people dress dogs in robes after a shower or bath? Or maybe they are just for those cold winter nights?
My Collections:
miloucouture's recommendation
When it comes to your beloved puppy then if your esteemed desire is to give him a refreshingly vibrant look then Designer Dog clothes from miloucouture.com would be an ideal choice for you. Here you will find an extensive range of dog clothes from a comprehensive range of brands.
peterchase's recommendation
unique, funny
Gilligalue's recommendation
These are not "bathrobes"! They are coats. We use them to keep our dogs warm when they are outside. Also to keep the wet and snow off of their legs and chest, as well as their backs. It is very hard to find 4 legged dog coats, that don't interfere with their lifting their legs to pee.. and this coat works! Very easy to take on and off.

Earlier in this thread scottgbp posed the same question. Tom's response was "the manual is correct". I can't see how the manual can be correct since the unit is shipped off/off and that configuration is not mentioned as a supported configuration.
The older instructions do have an error in them, this has been corrected. The kits remain unchanged in the process.
Tom, I'm still a bit confused with your reply. Exactly what is the error? And what is the correct dip switch configuration to use in the "Locked Mode"?
Is it Scheme A or Scheme B as follows?
Scheme A
Car Config. Switches
1) off
2) off
Ipod Config. Switches
1) off
2) off
Scheme B

We're getting ready to pack up our Bondi apartment and head back to New York after four years away. Leaving Sydney will be bittersweet, and there will be a lot I'll miss – especially living near the beach, the weather and the food. I've garnered some favorite restaurants, cafes and bars over the past few years to which I've grown very attached. And I'm going to find myself a little panicked when I get a serious craving for a piadina with a glass of red on a Friday night.
Here is PART 3 of my picks for fresh, fun and exciting places to eat and drink in my suburb, the beautiful Bondi Beach

BOYS GOLF - Strong finish helps Hardin tie for runner-up honors at district
PORTLAND - Josh Hardin's quest for state could not be denied Friday, May 2, at the Mount Hood Conference boys district golf tournament at Glendoveer.
The Sandy senior earned a spot in the final foursome Friday after tying for the lead with Centennial's Nick Chianello after Thursday's opening round. Chianello quickly took command of the title chase by converting four birdies on the front-nine Friday to take a five-stroke lead at the turn.
Hardin's day quickly turned into a battle to claim runner-up honors, as he went head-to-head against Hood River's Max Gorman through the final 18 holes. After leading most of the way, Hardin fell behind by two strokes after the 15th hole.
But he quickly regained the edge, using his pitching wedge to set up a 2-footer for birdie on the 17th hole. Meanwhile, Gorman missed the fairway wildly off the tee and ended up with a double bogey, giving Hardin a two-stroke lead going into the final hole.
Gorman finished strong with a birdie on the 18th, while Hardin just missed on a moderate putt leaving the players in a tie for second with 151 totals.
'I'm not going to lie. I really wanted to beat Max, but I guess my nerves just got to me a bit on that last putt,' Hardin said. 'Getting to state has been my goal since my freshman year, so it's awesome to finally have it happen as a senior.'
Hardin earned a state berth by a comfortable margin, while a group of five players finished with 156 totals and faced a playoff to decide the final spot.
Hardin's heroics didn't translate to the team tally where Sandy finished seventh in the eight-team field with a 668 total.
Centennial won the tournament with a 636 score, beating regular-season champion Gresham by three strokes. The top five teams were separated by only 10 strokes.
Gresham and Centennial shared the overall season championship, which is a mix of district and regular-season results.
Look for extended golf coverage in the Wednesday, May 7, issue of The Sandy Post.

Hi all,
Thinking of getting myself a Citizen BM6400-00E as a weekend knock-about watch, and also for holidays where the strap and water-resistance is gonna come in handy. I just love the clear dial, and the pics i've seen on here of the lume look great. The only bad points I've established from these forums are the strap, with over-wide hole spacings. The watch will be a special order from my Citizen AD as they dont normally stock this one, so wont know til I get it if it will fit right.
3 questions really:
Wearing it at weekends, and sharing wrist time with my other watches means its gonna spend a few hours in the window charging up, is this sufficient, and how often would you charge it?
I'm thinking if the strap dont fit right, gonna put a 20mm Nato 'Bond type' on it, any issues with that? Whats the lug width?
Whats the lifetime of the cell in the Eco-drive movement, (providing its charged a little and often) I've read approx 10 years, similar to the Seiko Kinetic system, anyone have any better info on lifetime? I'm prepared to accept that the watch will be effectively scrap once the cells dead, or am I wrong?
Thanks for your help, I'll keep you posted if I order one.

Thought it would of come with better instructions. It shows a sender unit in the instructions but it did not come with one. Can I piggy back this to the Factory Sender unit or do I have to get another sender unit?? Any help would be great. Thanks

New L'Occitane fan
By Cindybear71
from Manitoba
Bought this set to share with friends. I agree that a seal may have been a good idea as the tubes looked squeezed upon first inspection & with no seal I hope my friends didn't think I sampled before giving.The scents are lovely & the cream itself is rich & very moisturizing...feels good on these most winter weather beaten hands. I have lots of skin breakdown from frequent handwashing in my occupation so coming home to use these creams satisfies both senses of smell & touch.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Indulge in the ultimate!
By Showstopper
from Toronto
I bought this as a gift for my mother...next time I will also get one for myself. The value as a Showstopper is incredible and the packaging is very giftable. Since I am familiar with the hand creams from other purchases, I can share that the Shea butter cream and the mango flower creams are each heavenly scented! Quite effective for winter-dry skin.

Great hand creams
By KATHY
from CALGARY
Nice scents not over powering and the creams melt right into your skin, great product. My only issue is the tops are difficult to open and close when a person has arthritis in their hands, I have dropped the lids a few times already, it they were a touch bigger it would be easier.

Wonderful hand creams!
By Happy Shopper
This is a great deal!! I've never used L'Occitane before, and this was a great way to try out their hand creams. I am loving them!! Not greasy and they smell wonderful! I am wearing the Lavender hand cream and the smell is just heavenly! These are great sizes for my hand bag, my desk at work, I can have some everywhere! Thank you!
love it, love it, love it.
By elaine
from toronto
great for your hands,,great to split up and give as gifts. Just great !!!! the best hand cream that i have ever used...
Very Attractive Presentation and Variety
By Walking on Sunshine
from Grafton, Ontario
Opening the package I said, "WOW".......Everything looked picture perfect.........Upon closer inspection I began to wonder if some of these tubes were 'off'?? I have purchased from this company in the past and I truly appreciate their intentions.....Perhaps they might consider using safety seals to ensure freshness? Thank you.

Bought the 3 pack from the last visit. My only complaint is that I expect a safety seal on the creams which other manufacturers typically provide. These did not have a seal, you just open the tube and the cream is right there,I certainly do not want to add more to our garbage pile but I wonder if these creams will last as long as the information provided on the packaging suggests if these are not "sealed up".Do like the product and do like that the tubes the creams come in are recyclable.

I purchased a three-pack of this handcream. It included one scent "Pivoine" that was very over-powering for me. Given that I am a regular buyer of scented creams, this was surprising. The other two scents were milder. Over all, the creams are effective but nothing different than a lot of other creams of the same standard and quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bit of a softy as you can tell by my photo. Studying architecture in France at the moment and love anything design. An artist by trade and still painting everyday. We are in the South which has some lovely scenes but not much contemporary design.

text: There has been some buzz lately about Ahmad Brooks, the former Virginia linebacker dismissed from the Cavaliers by coach Al Groh this spring, and perhaps the most notable candidate for the NFL's supplemental draft this summer. But teams interested in Brooks, based on his play early in his college career, might want to do a little more homework on him. It seems that Brooks, who has been working out in the Atlanta area, has ballooned up to 280-290 pounds, and has plenty of conditioning work to do before league scouts come calling. Or before teams start to consider him a defensive line candidate instead of a linebacker prospect. The good news, relatively speaking, is that Brooks is still clocking at under five seconds in the 40, and has retained much of his quickness. LINK
