Benign hypertension
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benign hypertension or benign essential hypertension are historical terms that are considered misleading[1] and have fallen out of use (see history of hypertension). The terminology persists in the International Classification of Disease (ICD9) which dates from the 1970s, but is still used in the USA. ICD9 is due to be replaced in USA by ICD-10-CM on October 1, 2015.

…to this question: the terrifying William Henry Harrison.
All Orson Scott Card Readers know the answer…

Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
…to this question: the terrifying William Henry Harrison.
Jackson, of course. He cheated.
Harrison? Tecumseh say, him and what army?
Or maybe Reagan could curse his opponents so one of them died every twenty years.
I think White Murderer Harrison could make a go of it, but those bloody hands would make it hard to keep a good grip on his knife. My money's on Jackson or TR.
Close to the same as this list with some interesting differences:
I have to wonder why Kennedy didn't place higher.

Why Does It Float (Just Ask Book) (edition 1983)
by Chris Arvetis, Carole Palmer, James Buckley (Illustrator)
Work details
Why Does It Float (Just Ask Book) by Chris Arvetis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Summary: This is an informational book. It teaches children why things float in the water, and why some things do not. The book goes through various steps and experiments to help illustrate why some things float, and others do not. It teaches about buoyancy. It says that some things do not float, because they are too heavy and cannot displace enough water to equal the weight of the water.
Personal Reaction: I thought that this was a very informative book. This is not just for children, adults could learn things from this book as well. This book should be read to an older elementary school child. It would not be good for a Kindergarten class or a First Grade class.
Classroom Extensions: 1) I would read this to a fourth or fifth grade class and then perform various experiments with them. I would use this to help teach my students about why some things float and other things do not. 2) I would have my students build a ship as a class with material that I bought and see if they can get it to float.

MOUNTAIN GREEN — The harsh winter cold has brought not only avalanches and flooding this year, but a rare bird not seen in Utah for close to 30 years.
Utahns gathered in Mountain Green Feb. 9 after someone spotted the largest owl in the world, the Great Gray Owl, on the side of a road. Utah resident Amber Watkins-Olpin said she was driving to work in the morning and saw a group of people taking pictures and looking at something.
"I just looked to the side of the road and (the owl) was on the ground, and it was absolutely incredible. It was sitting there perched so calmly, and I left for a couple hours and came back, and it was in a tree," Watkins-Olpin said.
After returning from work, Watkins-Olpin went home and brought her family back to where the owl had stayed. Her husband, Chris Olpin, brought a camera and captured footage of the owl, which was later verified by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources biologist, Russell Norvell, program coordinator of the Avian Conservation.
Rare Great Grey Owl Sighting from Dreamcastar Video Productions on Vimeo.
According to Norvell, the owl in the footage is, in fact, a Great Gray Owl, the likes of which have not been seen in Utah since 1989, according to Norvell and the Utah Records Committee.
"The Great Gray Owl normally does not breed in Utah — this is the southern edge of its range," Norvell said.
According to Norvell, a severe winter can cause the birds to migrate farther south than they normally would. This phenomenon is called irruption.
"Owls who migrate from the north are pushed south," Norvell said. "It can also happen when there's a crash in prey populations."
The Great Gray Owl breeds in the north, in both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, but normally resides much farther north than Utah.
In terms of length, it is also the largest owl in the world and its wingspan can reach up to 5 feet, though the average is usually around 4 feet 8 inches for females and 4 feet 7 inches for males.
"I've seen screech owls. I've seen barn owls, but nothing of that caliber, it was huge," Watkins-Olpin said. "It was probably 2 feet (tall), close to that."
Female Great Gray Owls do indeed average about 28 inches tall and males average 26 inches, securing its spot as a king among owls.
Norvell stressed, however, the importance of executing good judgment, especially if the bird is on private property. Though it may seem docile, birdwatchers should demonstrate respect for the bird and the property on which it is found.

There are some interesting options too look at in terms of left tackles in 2013. I'm not talking about Jake Long who will be a FA, he will totally be out of our reach.

Outed: The new Nissan Altima has emerged before its New York public reveal this week.
4 April 2012
By RON HAMMERTON
THE American-developed sedan that will carry Nissan's hopes for resurgence in the medium-car market in Australia against the likes of the Toyota Camry and Mazda6 has broken cover ahead of its global launch at the New York motor show this week.
The front-drive 2013 Altima – replacing the current Japanese-made Maxima from the second half of next year – also has been confirmed as Nissan's entrant in Australia's premier racing category, V8 Supercars, hitting the track several months before its arrival in the showrooms.
As GoAuto reported exclusively last month, the Altima race car will be powered by a race-modified 5.6-litre V8 from Nissan's light trucks such as the US-built Titan and new Patrol, reduced to 5.0-litres and driving through the rear wheels.
However, there will be no V8 in sight in the production car, which will get a direct-injected 125kW 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine – codenamed QR25 – in the entry models and the carryover 3.5-litre V6 from the current Maxima in the upscale variants.
Both will be mated to a new-generation, low-friction continuously variable transmission (CVT). No manual will be available.
As well, a hybrid model is on the agenda, although that is yet to be confirmed for Australia.
The Altima will go into production next month in Nissan's American factories in Tennessee and Mississippi, with exports headed for a whopping 45 countries.
For the new car, Nissan has effectively merged the Altima and Maxima – known as the Teana in Japan –on a new D-category platform to cover the medium and large-car territories.
A new multi-link rear suspension system has been devised for the Altima, which American magazine Motor Trend - which carried pictures and details of the car ahead of its official launch at New York in the early hours of Thursday – says provides an element of passive rear steering.
As well, Nissan engineers have added what they call Active Understeer Control – an electronic control that brakes the inside front wheel in cornering to discourage understeer.
The smooth new body – adopting a fairly standard take on current Nissan design language – is said to be more aerodynamic than before, at 0.299Cd.
Among the hi-tech features to be offered in the US – and possibly Australia – are a wide-angle rear camera that doubles as a blind-spot and lane-departure warning systems.
With such an export focus out of Nissan USA, the cars to land in Australian showrooms appear set to be sourced from America, alongside the next-generation Pathfinder also due Down Under next year.
The Altima will be tasked with lifting Nissan's family sedan presence in Australia well above the levels set by the Maxima, which achieved less than 2000 units last year.
Rather than compete against large cars and lower-end luxury vehicles, the new Altima will be aimed at the medium segment, particularly imports such as the Mazda6, Ford Mondeo and, from next year, the Holden Malibu.

I don't know which artist drew that particular Starfire (because I'm too lazy to go dig through comic boxes, mostly), but it's my favourite rendering of her. The icons are absolutely gorgeous. I'm snagging #6.
And clearly I'm twelve, because #20 made me giggle.

Yup, Michael Turner. Starfire never looked so lovely.

Ok, I usually don't take other people's icons, no matter how pretty they are, unless someone makes it directly for me (weird personal issues). But I think this counts enough as "for me" if only in the "inspired by my cracked-out brain" way. Totally stealing at least one of the Cap/Tony ones.

Awww! Kurt plushie is very excited to see these icons. He told me so (and he is recovering from surgery very well. His leg is healing properly and he should be back to bamf-ing around my house and getting lost in no time)
I had to go and upload it before commenting.
Where do you find all these fantastic Wanda pictures? I've been dying to make some icons of her myself, but I can't find anything good! I can't find any good scans of anyone it seems. *sigh*
Oh Sawyer is so Gambit. I even heard they asked Josh Holloway to be Gambit in X3, but he said no cause the characters were too similar. Don't know if it's true, but yeah. The commentary for the movie said he was supposed to be on the mobile prison with Multiple Man and Juggernaut. That would have been fun. Maybe I'll add him to my alternate version of X3.
Wanda looks an awful lot like Padme in that wallpaper. They've even got that same pose as in the meadow... hold on I'll find the picture and then comment again.

OMG. *stolen*
How did I (of all people) never notice that? I love that picture, it's the prettiest Ani/Padme there is. Wows.
Lol, the Josh Holloway story.
Um, Wanda scans...? Mostly scans_daily or I scan them myself. There's no good Wanda web page that I've found. They're mostly Evo and I'm not a big fan of her goth meets the Matrix look in Evo.
Posted at: February 16th, 2007 03:38 am (UTC)
some of it was so similar I almost wondered if you manipulated the picture and turned it into Wanda and Vision. I could totally buy it for Wanda, but Anakin's head is tilted more than Vision's.
I guess I'll have to start scanning stuff.
Ah Evo. It's a less angsty version of Ultimate Angst. Although I hear the last season gives Ultimate Angst a run for it's money. Rogue breaks a stone Mystique in half after Kurt goes bonkers trying to find his mother, everyone's all "omg apocalypse dfsdfhoreutrwhtowe!!!", and uh, other things I guess. I forgot the rest. I liked that show when it first came out, cause Kurt was a main character and I had Kurt plushie. But I thought Kitty was annoying. Which she was, let's be honest.
That's a perfect description of Wanda in Evo! I liked her character development, but her look was a bit extreme. Of course, Jean looked like a man, so I guess she can't complain. No one really looked right on that show.

i heard somewhere (i'm not sure if it's true or not --but it doesn't hurt to hope!) that if they were even considering another XMen, they would think about casting Josh Holloway as Gambit.
but it could have just been fangirl speculation.

In case you didn't know:
They actually asked the actor who plays Sawyer on Lost (I don't know his name since I don't watch the show) to play Remy LeBeau in the third X-Men Movie (The Last Stand). He declined, saying the character was too similar to the one he portrayed on Lost. :(

Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
I was just thinking, you know how all these companies are bringing back their classics like the Pontiac GTO and the new Shelby etc. Cadillac has always made the big cars and now they just keep getting smaller. Ford and Lincoln now dominate the big car world, you ain't gonna take that are you? That is what Cadillac was known for. The big body rwd cars like the Fleetwood. You should bring it back. It was a big seller in its day and everybody wants one. I even know some Honda boys that would gladly get rid off their imports to have a Fleetwood. And its such a hard car to find these days. It took me 2 years to find one. I think it would be a good seller and bring Cadillac back to its glory days. Besides it's the Godfather off all cars. You should take this into consideration.

Cadillac and big cars
1) Cadillac is off base with thinking that every yuppie that buys a Benz, Lexus, Infinity or BMW will switch to Cadillac (It's simply a very specific segment). This is why they keep making the cars smaller, they are trying to play it safe.
2) People would buy a trimmed version of a large high performance wide RWD car like a Brogham. If the car was a mix of an Audi A8 and a Rolls Royce sized car it would be a hit. BUT CADDY KEEPS THINKING that every buyer is small and likes small cars. Look inside a 2000 and newer Deville..not a limo oriented car at all..but a crammed car. Unibody vs. frame etc...
3) Large is better especially when cars are built for speed and touring performance. the older floaty-boaty Brogham is good being put to bed.
MAKE THE 16 REAL GM and we'll all love you for it. Price it at $65K. STOP the madness of making small cars because us loyalists will go elsewhere if the cramming continues.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
You make a good point but how do you explain the success of the Town Cars and Crown Vic's. See the angle i'm gettin at. Maybe not as big as they used to be but just as big as the Ford's. Not everybody races them, mine is a lowrider. I dont mean that Cadillac should do it because of that or anything, to each his own, but to have them big again would be nice. The 16 would be nice but not everybody can afford 65k or up. I dont get paid enough. I cant even afford to look at one.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
ummm, if the Sixteen was to be made, it would be priced around $150k and not $50k....
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Maybe the DTS will be the "big" Cadillac again. They Must be hearing it about how small the cars are getting. They Must see people getting in and out of the Seville and DeVille trying to figure out what the difference is. Sure, I'd love to see another Fleetwood - but I think it's unlikely they'll bring back that name. What Cadillac most-definitely needs is another BIG car.If this site has helped you save money, please consider helping it continue to do so. Click here for information!
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Cadillac needs a big, manly V8 powered, rwd, body on frame car. That's all I can say.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
exactly, i would love to see them bring back the Fleetwood. im just whining because Cadillacs are getting smaller and smaller and heres ford over here making the big cars (not that i have anything against ford, they make good cars i own one) but Cadillac needs to bring back the big ones, rwd too. i love rwd. maybe its because i like lowriders and the only rwd vehicles are going away and only a few are left.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Yes Cadillac needs to make another big body. I see Lincoln Town cars everywhere. Cadillac and the stupid magazines like car and driver act like only senior citizens like big body cars. Well it couldn't be further from the truth. I work for a rental car company, and everybody that works there can't shut up about my Fleetwood Brougham. All they talk about is how much nicer it is than the 2004 Devilles and Towncars we have. And how the quality of cars has gone down. If they don't make any more Fleetwoods thats fine because I know the value of mine will just keep getting higher. But it would be nice for Cadillac to make something not quite as big but as big as a Towncar. Also GM would be smart to make the Impalas as big as the 96 impalas because those are so popular too.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Let Me Put It Like This
If U Own A Fleetwood Brougham Like Myself
Ur One Lucky Bastard, U Know
Y Give These Honda Riders, N None Appreciative Person Who Doesnt Have The Time 2 Search 4 A Fleetwood, A Fleetwood??
I Found Mine By Luck @ A Mitsubishi Car Dealership, Fell In Love, Traded My 89 Caddilac Sedan Devillie, Which Was All Ruined , Water In Moter, Sssshhh
N Boom, Got My Fleetwood.
Thas My Thought
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
my thoughts exactly. not as big as they used to be but ya know big. like the new 300C or something. are the future DTS' gonna be rwd like in 08. if so i will be satisfied. thats all i want, a big body rwd brand new Caddy.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Ditto, ditto, ditto
I have a '73 Impala which I drove for 10 years to work. A real beater, but I like'm big. I want an Impala SS, '96 vintage, and I almost cried when the downsized version appeared on the market. I will never buy a late model Impala!
If you can't find what you want new, buy it old. THat's why I have two '94 Fleetwoods. The Fleetwoods are out there, available, you only need to look a little. These days, you can hop on a plane and check out a car that's 500 miles away for $250 bucks. That's money well spent on a good used BIG Fleetwood.
My '73 Impala is going away this week. I couldn't give her away, so I donated it for the tax write off. See her at [http]www.members.cox.net/1973impala[/http].
I guess I'll be one boat short in the drydock next week.
You know, no car is as big as it use to be. The government, EPA, and the Tree- huggers have seen to that.

Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
They need to bring the Fleetwood back exactly the way it was in the late 80's, early 90s. No changes to the body, that is what people loved. It would sell. Even if they did it for only a year, they would have people lining up for them.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the FleetwoodOriginally Posted by earlfleetwood
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
I agree with the latest entry. I don't think Cadillac will bring back THe BIG car. The division has been spending too much effort on redefining itself as having faster, sleeker, more nimble cars.
The Fleetwoods are out there to be purchased. I just found two more on-line ('96) in Florida at a dealership. (I keep my eyes open for good deals.) Keep in mind, the Fleetwood was an upscale car, purchased by mature drivers who took care of their vehicles. They were generally not mistreated, but well maintained and cared for.
I would much rather pay $8 to 10K for a used, 8-10 year old Fleetwood, than $12 to $16K for a 4 to 6 year old import.....but then, I don't buy imports. I don't care if they were built in the U.S.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the FleetwoodOriginally Posted by lacmang
dont get me wrong cause i like the 80s body style but im with lacmag, they should have one thats new and looks like their new cars (well like the DHS). now what i would really like to see is one as big as the 93-96 reason being they are bigger thatn the 80 body style and all. i like them cars you gotta back up and try again. of course them girls like it when you can get that big thing in to that small space the first try (and no im not talking about sex). but take it anyway you want.

Obama win makes Oprah weep, DiCaprio proud
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oprah Winfrey wept tears of joy, Leonardo DiCaprio said he was proud to be an American and several hip-hop music stars said Sen. Barack Obama's election as the first black U.S. president fulfilled the dreams of America's youth.
Celebrities played a large, and sometimes controversial, role in Obama's election campaign, organizing fund-raisers, performing at rallies and campaigning on his behalf.
Republican candidate John McCain used Obama's popularity with actors and musicians during the campaign to mock the Illinois senator as little more than a celebrity himself.
But when Obama was declared president-elect on Tuesday, his A-list supporters spoke out again.
DiCaprio, in Rome for the Italian premiere of his movie "Body of Lies", told reporters on Wednesday he had stayed up all night watching the election.
"I couldn't be more proud of my country right now and proud of being an American ... I feel overwhelmed and I feel a tremendous weight has been lifted from my shoulders," the "Titanic" star said.
Talk-show host Winfrey, one of America's most influential women, campaigned with Obama last year. On Tuesday night, millions of TV viewers saw her in tears among the tens of thousands gathered in Chicago for Obama's victory speech.
"It feels like America did the right thing," Winfrey told CNN. "It feels like there's a shift in consciousness. It feels like something really big and bold has happened here, like nothing ever in our lifetimes did we expect this to happen." Continued...

Upside-Down Views and Hot Pics From Down Under
Good Day,
Gold's overnight range tightened a bit further, as risk aversion ahead of the US payroll data kept speculators largely sidelined. While the short squeeze in the euro appears to have run out of most of its steam, the dollar remained firm near 80.50 on the trade-weighted index as its traders were also reluctant to dismiss Thursday's impressive turnaround and cash in on their gains before learning what the jobs picture might look like this morning.
Greece-oriented worries continued to underpin the generally cautious mood and albeit the trade appeared bearish on the US jobs data (weather is thought to have wreaked some short-term havoc with the numbers - havoc to the tune of perhaps 50,000 to 90,000 jobs) one Aussie currency trader cautioned that with that kind of 'X-factor' in the equation, the data could 'throw anything up.'
Today is pilgrimage day for Greece's Prime Minister Papandreou. He will visit that most special of places -Germany- in his quest to secure at least a pledge that help might come when/if his country's financial/economic ship lists too far to offer safety for those aboard.
Despite the importance of the Prime Minister's visit, it was learned this morning that Germany and the Chairman of the group of countries using the euro ruled out immediate financial aid for Greece before the talks. For the moment, this is what you might see when walking down to the bank in Athens...
Mr. Papandreou's odyssey comes at a time when the government has already angered throngs of Greeks with its latest round of austerity measures -most of which are seen by some firms with exposure to Greek debt, such as Invesco Ltd. for example, as insufficient to lure buyers to take up...more Greek debt. The firm, which manages some $420 billion reduced its Greek bond holdings in Q4 as the country piled on deficits computed to be some four times larger than the EU's limit of 3 percent.
Against this now familiar background and building anticipation, gold prices unsurprisingly opened by showing little in the way of change on the price boards. Spot bullion in New York was up 40 cents quoted at $1132.90 per ounce on the bid side, while the dollar was marking time at 80.57 on the index. Silver was showing a 14-cent gain at the open, quoted at $17.27 the ounce.
Platinum eased by $5 at the session's start, to reach $1572.00 per ounce, while palladium gained an additional $5 and climbed to $463 per troy ounce this morning. Rhodium was flat at $2420.00 per ounce. Market analysts at Germany's Heraeus report that: UBS is saying that emerging market sale of autos are now running nearly double the pace of sales in the US, Euro Zone and Japan since 2008.
Heraeus analysts added that: The emerging markets are said to still be booming and though they do not have strict emission standards it is believed that these numbers are very bullish for the PGMs in the long run. But for the short term the overhang of the PGMs in the market from investment consumption won't let this kind of data get ahead of itself.
Well, the hotly-anticipated US jobs figure showed a fall of only 36,000 as against the aforementioned expectations. The US dollar gained about a tenth of a cent on the data. Meanwhile, January's numbers were revised up 35,000 positions. The overall US unemployment rate held steady at 9.7% while 129.5 million Americans continued to be employed. A small increase was noted in jobs over in the manufacturing sector.
US stock futures added to their gains after the report, as did crude oil prices, but gold headed some $2 lower on the mildly stronger dollar. Perhaps it is too early to glean the eventual direction and closing levels foe this last day of the week, as book-squaring will now unfold in earnest and the focus will shift back to news from Euroland and how they might impact the old risk appetite / risk aversion ebb and flow dance. At any rate, the heat stays on in the speculative trading pits and volatility will not be lacking next week either.
Meanwhile China's Premier Wen Jiabao turned the rhetorical heat up several notches and warned that he is committed to reigning in speculative housing purchases, illegal land-hoarding, and property price manipulation -all currently rampant in his vast country. The government will resolutely curb the precipitous rise of housing prices in some cities and satisfy people's basic need for housing said Mr. Wen. If that is not one step beyond of using the 'bubble' word, we do not know what is. Some economists have suggested a major crash to come in China lest the situation is somehow corrected. The usual 'problem' with most spherical objects of this nature is that -when pricked- they tend not to leak hot air at a slow, orderly rate...
We close the week on a couple of Aussie-flavoured notes, bringing you two items of interest; one, more short-term (perhaps some leisurely weekend web-browsing?), the other a medium-to-long-term outlook on gold prices from an official source Down Under.
First up, we have just been advised that our friends at GoldBarsWorldwide.com - the Fremantle-based encyclopedic website of all things gold bars (and now, gold coins as well) has announced the addition three new supplements which have been placed online as of today. They include: Gold Bullion Coins (An International Guide), details on German-based Commerzbank's new range of branded gold bars for the international market, and PAMP's (of Switzerland) stylish new range of minted icOns gold bars. Here is a...teaser:
The highly successful Aussie website is planning to incorporate, over time, information on gold bullion coins - with support from the World Gold Council. As regards the International Guide, at this time we are not aware of another website that offers as authoritative an introduction to the gold bullion coin category for new investors.
The other item of interest to those who make gold prices -current and future- their topmost object of obsession, comes from a source we quoted just yesterday: ABARE (no, not an Aussie women's swimwear manufacturer) - the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics. The institution forecast a 10 percent raise in Aussie gold output for the coming year and envisions Australia's gold production to give China (the current numero uno in the global gold production race) a run for its yuan. The Bureau now projects gold prices to still rise in the current year, but plateau and taper off as we move forward in time. The report's highlights follow:
· ABARE sees gold production and prices rising this year into 2011, before a price tumble to under $US900 an ounce in 2012. Looking at global gold production, ABARE said it saw 2009 up 6% to 2553 tonnes, the highest level for six years (matching the most recent findings of the World Gold Council).
· Australian annual gold mine production is projected to be between 266 tonnes and 276 tonnes until the end of the outlook period in 2015.
· The biggest influence on gold prices will be the huge deficits and debts in major economies like the US and Europe, and the growth path of the global economy in the next couple of years.
· ABARE says Australian production may rise 11% in the June 30 financial year, 10% in the 2011 financial year and a further 2% in 2012. ABARE said it could see a further rise in Australian output in the period from 2013 onwards.
· In 2010 the gold price is forecast to rise by 11% to average $US1080 an ounce, ABARE forecast. Uncertainty surrounding the pace of global economic recovery is expected to sustain the investment appeal of gold and continued weakness in the US dollar in the short term is expected to increase gold demand.
· Also influencing gold demand in 2010 is the continuation of expansionary monetary and fiscal policy in the United States, which is likely to place downward pressure on the global demand for US Treasury bonds in favour of other low-risk assets such as gold.
· In 2011, the gold price is forecast to fall by 11 per cent to US$960 an ounce. The assumption of an ongoing recovery in world economic growth is forecast to lead to a reduction in speculative investment demand for gold. Similarly, as the appetite for higher risk assets such as shares and property increases, investment demand for retail gold, such as gold bars and coins, is forecast to moderate.
· As world economic growth returns to levels which are more consistent with its longer term potential, further falls in investment demand in 2012 are projected to lead to an 11 per cent fall in the price, in real terms, to around US$840 an ounce.
- Between 2013 and 2015, the real gold price is projected to increase moderately, rising from US$834 an ounce in 2013 to US$880 an ounce in 2015.
Happy Trading and Crystal-Ball Gazing.

About MePerfection. That's what I strive for.
I understand that perfection might be a lofty goal, but if you're a perfectionist, why would you bother making a goal of anything less?
I am open to shooting :
****Beginning or adding to a modeling portfolio
****Location Location Location
****Private Work
****Beginning a child's modeling portfolio
****Childrens pictures
****Baby Pictures
****Maternity Pictures
I love shooting in the water or around water, it seems to be my element. I enjoy shooting all types of models of all types of races and color.
I have a unique eye for locations and a weird and different perspective on photography. I am a model myself, therefor it makes things alot easier for the model and me, as the photographer, as well.
New models are my favorite :)
I have 4 packages
$50: 2 clothing changes and 2 locations 10+ edited pics and all of unedited pics

How do I remove a VERY old trip-lever tub overflow cover?
1 Attachment(s)
I've got a very old (the house was built in the 1930's) tub with a flip-lever drain plug system. The overflow cover does not have the usual two screws on the plate, but just one in the center of the flip lever itself. I've been able to get that screw out, but have not succeeded yet in removing the lever. It is very corroded because apparently the shower head dripped on it for years. My question is - does the cover itself unscrew? Thanks in advance for any help. (Picture attached.)
1 Attachment(s)
Be careful, don't damage it, that things cool. I'm guessing, the cover is threaded to tube behind that handle. I don't think handle itself is screwed on. Take screw out, squirt some PB Blaster in there, just a little, have a cloth to wipe dribbles fro tub, but don't think PB is gonna hurt any thing.Let PB work a while, maybe gently tap center of handle with small block of wood. See if you can wiggle/rock handle off with hand. No? Give PB another chance , might can get two strips of wood, one each side of and close to tube under handle. ends of strips padded against tub and gently lever other end out. Mebbee gentle taps with block while doing that. Or. Tie the ends of piece of strong but soft cord together, loop it behind handle both sides of tube wiggle, and lightly tap while pulling doubled cord. Ya might have to go get a faucet handle puller. Oh, should have started with this, but, WHY do you want to remove the cover?
We gutted the bathroom for a remodel and saved the tub. It's 65 inches long and 18 inches deep, a nice tub. We're going to have it refinished but the overflow cover, handle and drain hardware are all very corroded and need to be replaced (or refinished).
Can you get to the other side? Cut an acess hole through the wall on other side? If you can find parts to refurbish the insides of faucets and they look as cool as this I would sure try to reuse them. There are retro styles too. When my brother built his house, a big hotel from 20's 30's was being gutted, he scored some huge tubs. Free. All he had to do was get them out of rooms and hotel, lots of other fixtures too. He said place was a mad house. have you given that PB a try? That handle looks kinda fragile be real careful, no hard banging or hard jerks, try to ease it off with all force as close to center as possible.

Water Pressure Regulator
I am needing to replace my house water pressure regulator. I am looking at using:
1. I don't think that the shark bite will work with schedule 40 PVC is that correct?
2. Is the best place for a pressure regulator directly after the water meter or under the house?
3. Any other recommendations for a better regulator - I know that I do not want:
Thanks for any help or suggestions!!
The best place for a pressure reducing valve is as soon as the water line enters the house.
I have no other recommendations as the one Watts one you show from Lowe's is the one that I use regularly. May I ask why you do not want to use this particular type?
It's typical here to install the pressure regulator next to the house shutoff valve outside, and use it as part of the transition from the service piping to the building supply. In that case, it probably has schedule 40 pvc on one end and a ball valve with possibly a brass nipple between the two.
When i started out we were using the 25-aub and got away from that because of the tops rotting out and blowing apart in less than a year. :eek::no:
Now we are using the watt's n55b.
Seem to be having much better luck with those.

Review/Film; El Salvador's Slain Hero Of the Cloth
By VINCENT CANBY
Published: August 25, 1989
''Romero'' is an earnest, straightforward reconstruction of the life, political education and assassination of Oscar Arnulfo Romero, the liberal Archbishop of San Salvador, as he was celebrating Mass in 1980.
The priest, who had been expected to be a tool of the privileged when he was named Archbishop, turned out to be an embarrassment both to his conservative associates within the church and to El Salvador's right-wing politicans.
''Romero'' is the first theatrical film to be produced by the Rev. Ellwood E. Kieser and his Paulist Productions, originally formed to produce television programs. The film opens today at the Carnegie Hall Cinema and the 59th Street East Cinema.
In the title role, Raul Julia is persuasive without being very moving. This is much like the movie, which was shot in Mexico under the direction of John Duigan, an Australian film maker who makes his American debut with this production.
''Romero'' is more important as the brief, considerably simplified biography of a heroic man than as cinema. The film's manner is that of a textbook. John Sacret Young wrote the screenplay. The supporting cast includes Richard Jordan, as the priest who introduces Romero to the ''theology of liberation,'' which has prompted so many Roman Catholic priests in Latin America to become politically active.
''Romero'' which has been rated PG-13 (''Special Parental Guidance Suggested for Those Younger Than 13''), includes scenes of physical violence and mayhem. POLITICAL INITIATION OF AN ARCHBISHOP - ROMERO, directed by John Duigan; written by John Sacret Young; director of photography, Geoff Burton; film editor, Frans Vandenburg; music by Gabriel Yared; production designer, Roger Ford; produced by the Rev. Ellwood E. Kieser; released by Four Seasons Entertainment Inc. At the Carnegie Hall Cinema, Seventh Avenue and 57th Street, and the 59th Street East Cinema, at Third Avenue. Running time: 105 minutes. This film is rated PG-13. Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero...Raul Julia The Rev. Rutilio Grande...Richard Jordan Arista Zelada...Ana Alicia Lieutenant Columa...Eddie Velez The Rev. Alfonzo Osuna...Alejandro Bracho The Rev.

This paper presents optoelectrofluidic technologies for manipulation of nanoparticles and biomolecules. Optoelectrofluidics provides an elegant scheme for the programmable manipulation of particles or fluids in microenvironments based on optically induced electrokinetics. Recent progress on the optoelectrofluidic manipulation of nanoobjects, which include nanospheres, nanowires, nanotubes, and biomolecules, is introduced. Some potential applications of the optoelectrofluidic nanoparticle manipulation, such as nanoparticles separation, nanostructures manufacturing, molecular physics, and clinical diagnostics, and their future directions are also discussed.

I have the 4 stock Dunlops from a 2011 WRX. They have about 600 miles on them and I'm selling because my stock wheels are my winter wheels so I have no use for these anymore and I need space for summer wheels. 235/45/17. I'm asking for about $450 since they are almost brand new and can cost about $200 per tire. Located in Queens, NY.
Tread is excellent. Tires are like new. No holes, plugs, or patches.

Publication Acceptance Date: 12/15/2006
Publication Date: 12/22/2006
Citation: Singh, N., Kaur, L., Guraya, H.S. 2006. Microstructural, cooking and textural characteristics of potato (solanum tuberosum L) tubers in relation to physicochemical and functional properties of their flours. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. 85(8):1275-1284. Interpretive Summary: Potato starch is used by hundreds of manufacturers for meat processing, french fries, and other food applications. It is superior to all other root crops in protein content. The potato contains very high proportions of essential amino acids, such as lysine, which is why it forms such a valuable part of human nutrition. United States based customers have to face an inconsistent supply of potato starch from the european market. Working to meet the growing domestic demand for potato based starch and to mitigate the uncertainties in the european supply chain, there is need to evaluate the various potato varieties for functional properties. The potato flour could also be used by people allergic to wheat products. We conducted a survey of various potato cultivars and determined their suitability for use in various food products.
Technical Abstract: Relationship between structural, cooking, and texture properties of potatoes; and thermal, pasting, and textural properties of potato meal was studied for six indian potato cultivars. Particular consideration was given to the association between mealiness of cooked potatoes and functional properties of potato meal. Potato cooking and sensory properties were associated with potato microstructure, as determined by SEM. Potatoes with the highest sensory score for mealiness produced meals characterized by higher values for amylose content, setback, peak viscosity, and final viscosity and lower values for transition and pasting temperature. Texture profile analysis of potato meal gels showed that samples obtained from mealier potatoes had higher values for texture characteristics (springiness, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness). Potato cv. Kufri Ashoka and Kufri Kanchan had relatively low values for these texture characteristics for both raw and cooked samples; and were characterized by lower mealiness scores, low amylose contents, and a loosely packed cell organization with relatively large cells and thin cell walls.

Re: Starry Arches
This is my first submission to a derby. Actually my first time designing a tshirt.
Feel free to give some helpful criticism.
Great Kevlar! Glad to see this in the fog! I really liked how you finally worked the sky, more subtle and fading +1
Re: Rails to Trails
A cool design for my fellow cycling enthusiasts out there. Hope you like!
Re: Only Memories
It's great, but I won't vote because I wouldn't wear. Perhaps if it was a fox design with a beautiful sunset or sunrise...
I like foxes, what can I say.
Re: Save the Trees
Good luck my friend, I think this will be one of the winners!!!
Excellent work! GMV!
Re: Shoot the Moon, Arches National Park
Hilarious and very well done. GMV!
I'd love to see this with green colors.
Re: Free as a Bird
Really nice design. The colors and contrast are really superb. I think it could have been taken to the next level by using more of the shirt space with smaller designs interspersed.
Pretty cool, but it seems too close to odRoc's later work
Re: Old Faithful? Oh boy...
..rejection, perhaps, but i didn't have anything better to do so i thought i would give this one a whirl...

Wait. A rabbit that looks like a real rabbit, not a marshmallow bunny? On Woot? What next, Republicans and Democrats cooperating in congress? Asteroid impact?
I long for a day when well drawn wildlife would actually actually win a Sierra Club sponsored derby. Sadly, I think the winner is going to be a tryptich of a tortoise in the desert, a bunny in the grass and a penguin hopping off an ice berg, each doing something Unspeakably Cute.

chumpmagic wrote:Pretty cool, but it seems too close to odRoc's later work
Oh no!! I didn't mean to do that >.< I just realized that now. It does look similar to his cardinal one. Totally not intentional, unless my mom copied him, lol. She did the sunset and I did the bird outline. The idea was originally a flock of birds with little pieces of the sunset scene in each bird. I decided just to make one big bird because it showed more of the trees and sun. Ah, well I didn't mean it to look like his work, but it was a good learning experience to try something new.
@mrwednesday: Thanks! Maybe smaller birds around the big one would use the space better, hmm.
Have you seen Mount Baker? I had the pleasure of staring at it for a week (not literally) during my trip to BC. I was surprised to find out it is actually a volcano... the more you know! hope you like.

This is really cool, but it might be out of the printable area, which is 16"x20". The landscape looks kinda bright for it being nighttime, have you tried making it all a bit darker, more subtle? Anyway, I really like this and especially like the way you handled the bottom edge. It looks way more natural than a gradient would. Welcome to shirt.woot!
I've never yearned so much to be in the mountains before! (and I moved away from the Rockies I grew up in to live in a big East Coast city the first chance I got)
I really only wear happy-go-lucky designs, but I would buy this in a heartbeat as a poster, a sticker or better yet, a sketchbook!!
Wow, this is so creative and amazing! I am always in awe of your ideas and technique.
Re: Trade Winds
I love how this so so big, but not overwhelming. I'd definitely wear this shirt a lot! The clouds are perfect and the kite creates great balance.
Re: Tropic Moon
I love this shirt!
i love this design, but the red kite seems out of place and kinda cliche. anyone else think it would be better w/o it?
Re: Tranquility
this. is. amazing.
This was the third design, which is actually a combination of the first two.
Re: Melting Away
Re: Get Out of Your Cave!
i actually like the thumb nail better. i think you should do a second version and cut out a lot of the cave and off center it. I'll vote for it then. ;)
This is my favorite by far! Simple, elegant, and positive.
Re: Forrest Gaze
Great linework and play of light and shadow over the girls face. I always appreciate that you bring something new to each submission rather than more of the same. +1
Re: So close, So far
Sweet idea and neat dynamic between the flower and the reflection. +1

Lol! Maybe they are? I guess it's possible since I've never met Odroc. Though he sounded like a guy in his tutorial video I watched long ago...
gummygod wrote:i love this design, but the red kite seems out of place and kinda cliche. anyone else think it would be better w/o it?
I do think the kite is a pretty common element in shirt designs that I've seen. I still like it anyway. I don't think the design would be better without it because it would lack a focal point; the clouds would just lead your eye up to nothing and it would be boring. The artist could put something else there instead of a kite, but I don't know what that would be.
Re: Take Me There
I too love blues on black, now if I could only figure out how that deer got in the tree. ;)
Re: Clean Up
I thought I'd try another. Hope you all like!
Re: Hiking in Earth
you should try to fade the sides...that would look really cool!
Re: Open Your World
Wow. The lighting is gorgeous. I love this even though it reminds me of the movie, "The Descent," which scared the hell out of me.
Oh that is just heartbreakingly beautiful, this NEEDS to print!
omarfeliciano wrote:This is very cool. Why is he crying?
Yeah, the crying makes it a bit depressing. Maybe if his mouth was slightly ajar and he was drooling in his sleep? Though that may be moving too much in the other direction and create too silly a mood.

Man With A Mission and Buzz The Bears keep punk's spirit alive at Punkspring
by Ryotaro Aoki
It's not every day you get to exchange thoughts on punk rock with a talking wolf. "When people talk about punk, they talk about being rebellious and being frustrated with society," says Jean-Ken Johnny, guitarist for wolf-headed alternative rock band Man With A Mission. ...
