A top lawyer was embarrassed when his landlords emailed colleagues at the London law firm where he works claiming he owed them two months' rent.
Franklin Price, a senior litigator at Jeffrey Green Russell in Soho, was upset when Michael and Rachel Cooper contacted 35 co-workers to allege he had vanished from the £2,300-a-month flat just off Oxford Street.
Mr Price, 53, issued proceedings against the owners, threatened to sue them for £50,000 and claimed he was "injured in his reputation and suffered embarrassment and upset".
However, Mr Price dropped his claim after the Coopers issued a strongly worded defence, accusing him of "unscrupulous" actions that brought his law firm into disrepute.
In papers lodged at the High Court, the landlords also claimed they received an anonymous warning that "all his money is going on hookers" and that he engaged in "dreadful behaviour" during his six-month tenancy. The allegations are unsubstantiated and Mr Price strongly denies them.
The Coopers, who live in Leytonstone, claim the lawsuit filed by Mr Price caused them an "enormous amount of work and stress".
The row erupted when the Coopers contacted Mr Price's co-workers at Jeffrey Green Russell. The email —headed "Trying to locate Franklin Price" — read: "He owes more than two months rent and has not moved his belongings from the apartment or returned the keys to the agent. Does Franklin still work for your firm? Can someone urgently contact him?"
In his libel claim, Mr Price argued that the email was "understood to mean" that he "deviously hid from the defendants to avoid paying more than two months rent".
However, in a 15-page defence the Coopers alleged Mr Price repeatedly "made statements he knew to be false" during his tenancy. "He deliberately avoided paying rent he knew to be due… failed to vacate the flat and return the keys… and avoided responding to communications… in order to avoid paying rent for as long as possible," it read. They also claimed they received an anonymous text in December last year which read: "Your tenant not paying rent now! That's because all his money is going on hookers… He's a lawyer. Dreadful behaviour."
The Coopers claimed it was reasonable to send the email to Mr Price's colleagues as he was "acting in an unscrupulous manner for a lawyer, which brought (the firm) into disrepute". The couple "had no confidence in his veracity or integrity" and were "concerned he may have absconded and wished to ascertain whether he was still working at JGR".
Rachel Cooper told the Evening Standard: "Franklin made our lives hell for the full six months of his tenancy. He acted arrogantly and unethically and his threat to sue us for £50,000 in damages felt like a deliberate act of bullying. It is a disgrace that a senior solicitor acts in this manner."
Mr Price said: "I was a problem tenant, I did have problems, but what they said in their email was untrue. I decided that given the limited claim that I had and the disproportionate effect of costs, it was too disproportionate [to continue]."

It's all about customer service. As business owners you either check in on customers yourself or have account reps that do so. But when it comes to doing business online, the model has to change. Nevertheless, it's still important to know that the customer has been served to his or her satisfaction. Anything less than that puts the ongoing existence of the business in jeopardy, whether it's yours or that of a client you support. It all comes down to your eCommerce implementation and the people behind it.
So let's talk about the astonishing incompetence and ineptitude of an online retailer called RitzCamera.com. If you sell anything online and your order-processing system is anything like theirs, you do not deserve to be in business. You deserve to be in bankruptcy.
Suppose for a moment that you went to RitzCamera.com on Aug. 29 (yes, I know it was Michael Jackson's and John McCain's birthdays and the unfortunate anniversary of Katrina, maybe that was an omen). You place an online order. Seconds later, you receive a confirmation via e-mail. So far, so good.
Six days later, you start wondering where your order is. It should have been delivered by now. You never received an e-mail shipping notice with tracking info, so you go to check your order status via the Web portal. Surprise! It's nowhere to be found. Searching by order number, e-mail address, last name, and ZIP code turn up nothing.
Fortunately, the Web site has a live chat feature. You decide to try it out, and since there is a little thumbnail picture of a cute blond wearing a telephone headset, you figure you're in good hands. Sorry. You don't get the blond. Not even a female. You get someone who confirms that he's at a location halfway around the world. (Clue: Pick a populous Asian country to which the U.S. has outsourced nearly everything.) Since you understand only actual spoken English, the typed live chat seems like a good alternative. Unfortunately, "Smith B†doesn't have a clue. He can't find your order either. And he can provide no explanation. Smith B types "The order might have not been gone through,†to which you reply, "I'm looking right at the confirmation e-mail.†Next, Smith B suggests the order might have been canceled due to "some error.†Fine. So, you type, "Then you would have a record of that error. What was it?†Smith B, now clearly in over his head, gives up and suggests you call the U.S. toll-free number. So much for outsourcing customer support.
You discover the phone is no better. Served by someone with a wimpy voice who speaks as though he has a clothespin on his nose, he can't find the order, either. It has simply vanished. Nothing could be done except place a new order. At this point, you become, shall we say, impolite. Nevertheless, Mr. Wimpy takes your order over the phone and puts it in the system himself. And yes, you receive an e-mail confirmation.
Imagine if transactions simply disappeared from your online business or the online catalog operation of your biggest customer. You'd lose the business. Your customer might even sue. Was the system completely tested? How many other transactions are disappearing? What exactly is the condition that causes this? Isn't there a journaling function that's writing out a record of every transaction to an audit-trail file? What's the real cost in lost revenue and bad word of mouth (generated in columns like this)?
What becomes pretty clear is that RitzCamera.com is an astoundingly incompetent online retailer. (Well, I suppose no business actually got done.) But you do have that confirmation e-mail as evidence. This company operates three sister sites, BoatersWorld.com, WolfCamera.com, and CameraWorld.com. If they share the same order-processing system, well, let's just say "shopper beware.â€
So, you think to yourself, "If my systems are this stupid, this incompetent, lose data for no apparent reason, and my customer service operation is this clueless, anything more challenging than flipping burgers for a living is not for me.†I suggest that if you care about your business, drop in your customers' and offer a systems health checkup (for a fee, of course).
So, is this tale of woe somehow channel related? You bet it is. The very survival of any business depends on the competency of its systems. When conducting business online, it is essential to maintain data integrity, not lose data, and ensure that the order-processing and inventory management systems talk to each other. After all, what good is taking an order if you don't have the inventory to fill it? As a systems integrator, this is your job. Consider yourself the "general contractor†pulling vendors, software developers, and Web services together.
Update: Suppose that today, Sept. 9, you receive two auto-generated e-mails from RitzCamera.com, each telling you that an item you ordered has "been discontinued by the manufacturer or we are no longer carrying this item.†The message goes on to say. "This item will be canceled from the order.â€
This is odd, because 1) you ordered two completely different items, and 2) Mr. Wimpy confirmed they were in stock. And, oh yes, you ordered the same items from another big-name online retailer and had them within three days.
In my personal opinion, which is mine alone and in no way reflects the opinions of the Web site on which you're reading this or its parent company, my (yes, this was about me, after all) online shopping experience with RitzCamera.com makes them the stupidest, most incompetent, inept, bungling, unskilled, worthless company I've ever written about in 20 years of technology journalism.
You can bet I'll be spreading the facts about RitzCamera.com every chance I get. And yes, these are the facts. I have the transcript of the chat session, an audio recording of the telephone conversation, and the e-mail order confirmations and cancellations to prove it.
Don't get me ticked off. Pretty, it ain't.

Hello, I am new to this site and am looking for some assistance. I have a 2005 T & C with the 3.8L V6. last week the van while sitting in traffic started to overheat. I turned on the heater and was fine. After this event I got a check engine light that has stayed on. Then four days later it overheated for my wife in a similar situation while sitting in traffic.
I checked the coolant level and it was good. I checked the fuses and relays that control the fan and they seemd ok. I did another test last night in the garage. The large two fan cooling assembly never turned on. I am thinking it is some sort of relay or temparture sensor that is not telling the auxillary cooling fans to turn on and off. Could the thermostat be going bad?
Any ideas or suggestions on how to repair or trouble shoot? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sons of the Revolution
Sons of the Revolution (SR) is a hereditary fraternal organization which was founded in 1876 and educates the public about the American Revolution. The General Society Sons of the Revolution is the SR's national organization and is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation.[1][2] Located at Williamsburg, Virginia, it is governed by a board of managers, an executive committee, officers, standing committees and their members, and staff. The general society includes 28 state societies and 14 chapters in the United States, as well as societies in France and Mexico.[3] It describes its purpose as:
"[T]o perpetuate the memory of the men, who in the military, naval and civil service of the Colonies and of the Continental Congress by their acts or counsel, achieved the Independence of the Country, and to further the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, and of prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, records, and other documents relating to that period; to inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of the forefathers; to promote the feeling of friendship among them."[4]
Sons of the Revolution should not be confused with Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), a separate organization which was founded on April 30, 1889 at New York by the New Jersey businessman William Osborn McDowell. He disagreed with the Sons of the Revolution requirement of the time that other state societies be subordinate to the founding New York society. In addition, McDowell intended to include a wider base of members by recognizing additional types of public service of a revolutionary ancestor beyond military service during the Revolution.[5]

Today SR membership is open to:
"Any male person above the age of eighteen years, of good character, and a descendant of one who, as a military, naval, or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, in actual service, under the authority of the original thirteen Colonies or States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining always loyal to such authority, or a descendant of one who signed the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as a member of the Continental Congress or of the Congress of any of the Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by or under the authority of any such legislative bodies, actually assisted in the establishment of American Independence by services rendered during the War of Revolution, becoming thereby liable to conviction of treason, against the government of Great Britain, but remaining always loyal to the authority of the Colonies or States, or who served honorably in a military or naval expedition against the British during the War of the Revolution under the authority of the French or Spanish governments...."[4]
Junior, senior and life memberships are also available. Members receive benefits[6][7] which include:
- Invitation to general-society, state-society and chapter events, including the triennial meetings and the annual Let Freedom Ring celebrations;
- Issues of the general-society quarterly Drumbeat newsletter and the semiannual Flintlock & Powderhorn magazine; and
- Availability of accoutrements, including membership certificate, rosette, formal and informal insignia, and other regalia.
Sons of the Revolution was founded on February 22, 1876 at New York City, primarily by leading members of The Society of the Cincinnati and the businessman John Austin Stevens. He disagreed with Society of the Cincinnati requirements limiting membership to the eldest male descendants based on the rules of primogeniture. He intended to have SR include members by recognizing any descendant of a revolutionary ancestor.[8] Stevens held a preliminary meeting on December 18, 1875 at the New-York Historical Society at New York.[9] At a second meeting held in January 1876, the first SR constitution was adopted and a flier which invited members was published.
The fledgling group languished for several years until December 4, 1883 when it held an elaborate "turtle feast" dinner in the Long Room of Fraunces Tavern. Located in the historic tavern in lower Manhattan, the banquet was to commemorate the centennial of the dinner and speech of General George Washington where he bade farewell to his officers of the Continental Army in the room.[10][11][12][13] The 1883 dinner helped recruit 40 new members, and the group was reorganized as the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York Inc. In the early years after the reorganization, Society of the Cincinnati President-General Hamilton Fish gave much support and encouragement to the New York society. He referred often to its members as the "younger brothers of the Cincinnati."
Founding of the Sons of the American Revolution[edit]
About 1888, SR member William Osborn McDowell began to organize chapters of the SR in several states. McDowell saw the potential for the SR to become a mass movement as there were hundreds of thousands of Americans who were descendants of Patriots who had served the cause of independence from Great Britain during the American Revolution.
McDowell's vision for the SR conflicted greatly with that of its founders in that the founders saw the SR as being an exclusive society of gentlemen of social standing. Furthermore, they stipulated that societies in other states would have to be subordinate to the New York Society. This requirement was unacceptable to McDowell and, in response, McDowell organized a separate organization called the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) on April 30, 1889 at Fraunces Tavern. The next year, McDowell was instrumental in the founding of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
In the years following the founding of the SAR, there were several attempts to reconcile the two organizations but they were unable to overcome their differences.
General Society formation[edit]
Recognizing that SR members from states other than New York might form state societies in their states, the group's officers amended its constitution in 1884 to provide that state societies may organize as "auxiliary branches." Consequently, the Pennsylvania society was formed in 1888, and the District of Columbia society was formed in 1889.
The General Society constitution was proposed on February 12, 1890 in Philadelphia and adopted on March 8, 1890 in New York. Members of the three state societies held a meeting on April 19, 1890 in Washington to inaugurate the General Society. In the next few years, several more state societies were formed and the General Society developed a more national character.
The General Society and state societies offer patriotic, historical and educational activities for its members and the public. In addition to various dinners, exhibits and holiday events, the societies produce the following specific activities. Several state societies own and operate historic buildings.
Triennial general meetings[edit]
Since its founding, the General Society has held triennial meetings of the membership. The 41st meeting was held on October 4 through 7, 2012 in Savannah, Georgia, by the Georgia society. The 42nd meeting was held on October 1 through 4, 2015 in Williamsburg, Virginia, by the Virginia Society.
Citizen awards[edit]
The General Society has established various citizen awards, given to individuals and state societies for their work to continue the SR mission and honor the memory of the participants of the Revolution. The awards include the Modern Patriot Award, the Patrick Henry Award, the Jay Harris Award, the Richard Farmer Hess Leadership Award, the Trent Trophy, the Membership Achievement Award and the Presidential Commendation of Merit.
The 2012 Modern Patriot Award, symbolized by a Paul Revere bowl, was presented to Janet Uhlar of Rhode Island.[14]
Fraunces Tavern[edit]
Since 1904, the New York SR society has owned an operated the Fraunces Tavern as a museum and restaurant. They restored the building, which had a prominent place in pre-Revolution and Revolution history. The society claims the tavern is Manhattan's oldest surviving building.[15]
The Fraunces Tavern Museum maintains several galleries of art and artifacts about the Revolution, including the McEntee "Sons of the Revolution" Gallery that displays much of the SR history.[16]
Green End Fort[edit]
The Rhode Island society has maintained Green End Fort, in the Village of Green's End on the border of Newport and Middletown, since 1969 when its owner, Newport Historical Society, "expressed hope that the Sons would 'maintain the Fort as a memorial and eventually acquire the property.'" The fort was believed to have been built in 1777 by British troops as part of the defenses of Newport, but more recent scholarship indicates it was probably built by the French army under Comte de Rochambeau in 1780.[17]
Grave-marker and wreath placements[edit]
Several state societies have placed SR markers and wreaths at the graves of identified revolutionary patriots; for instance, the Massachusetts society placed markers at the graves of Samuel Adams and James Otis Jr., which are located in the Granary Burying Ground at Boston. The General Society joined the Georgia society in 2005 to place a wreath at the re-interment of U.S. Brig. Gen. Casimir Pulaski in Savannah, Ga.[18]
"Let Freedom Ring" celebrations[edit]
Since July 4, 1969, the Pennsylvania society has sponsored "Let Freedom Ring," the nationwide celebration of those who helped achieve the nation's independence during the Revolution.[19][20][21] According to U.S. Senate Concurrent Resolution 25 of 1963, bells across the nation are rung 13 times at exactly 2:00 p.m. EDT in honor of the 13 original states represented by the signers of the Declaration of Independence. At the appointed hour, four young descendants of the signers tap Philadelphia's famous Liberty Bell, setting off the chimes of freedom from bell towers throughout the nation. A series of related patriotic festivities take place in the Independence Hall area, including a colorful parade of Revolutionary War flags, fifes and drums, and a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the Revolutionary War at Washington Square.[22]
Military awards[edit]
The General Society and several state societies have established various educational and military awards, which are given to individuals and groups for their academic or service performance. The awards include the Annapolis Cup, which was created in 1905 and given annually by the general society and the Maryland society to a U.S. Naval Academy midshipman;[23] the Knox Trophy (New York), which was created in 1910 and given annually by the New York society to a U.S. Military Academy at West Point cadet;[24] the Capt. Gustavus Conyngham Award which was created in 1999 and given annually by the New York society to a U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point midshipman;[24] the Recognition Award, which was created in 2002 and given annually by the Massachusetts society to a U.S. Army ROTC cadet;[25] and the Knox Trophy (Massachusetts), which was created in 1924 and given annually until 1940 by the Massachusetts society to a U.S. Army field-artillery battery and a "redleg" artilleryman.[26]
Evacuation Day observances[edit]
The New York society has organized infrequent Evacuation Day observances of the anniversary of the British departure on November 25, 1783 from New York after the Revolution. After a controversial New York Police Department denial on May 21, 2008[27] of a New York society application for a parade permit, officials accepted the application on July 30, 2008[28] for society members to march down Broadway from New York City Hall to Battery Park, "where reenactors in period costumes will lower a Union Jack and raise the Stars and Stripes in a symbolic reprise of what happened in 1783. British and French diplomats, along with others who had roles in the American colonies' struggle for independence," were invited to attend.[29][30][31][32]

this engine is more of an an experiment for him as he is very new to turbos and tunning the fuel injection system, thats the reason for doing it cheap as possible.
when he first started he wanted to pull the original engine and build a 3.4 with better parts but i talked him out of it cause i new he would hurt the engine eventually
without having to touch the crank or bearings this is the cost so far
speedpro pistion and moly ring set 102$'s
flex hone 30 bucks
+ whatever the machine shop wants install the new pistons on the rods
gasket set 50 bucks
so without the additional 200 bucks or so to have the crank done its damn cheap, and is perfect for hm incase he blows up up again, once he knows the thing isnt going to detonate or blow up again then he can step upto a good built 3.4L engine
he just stepped up up from a t04b turbo to a gt3582 so were the t04b made 350ish hp @ 16/17 psi. The gt3582 is going to make that at around 9/10 psi,and at 16/17 psi it should be making 425hp . so there is a good chance hes going to hurt this engine again anyways
If the engine is coming all the way apart, I'd tend to side w/the "polish the crank and replace bearings" crowd. Mic the journals carefully to be sure there's no factory undersized sized journals involved so you're not tripped up by that and you should be OK as long as you're giving it a good cleaning. The added cost should be in the area of $100. If you choose to go this route be sure the crank is polished in the direction of rotation.
If that's still too much, I have polished (and removed storage surface rust) from my own cranks using a piece of leather strap wrapped around the journal to hold a piece of 600 grit wet or dry paper wetted w/solvent (like WD-40). Pulling on the ends of the strap in a back and forth motion will take the worst high spots off the crank journals and costs basically nothing but your time. Bearings can be had for well under $50.

The orange represents the intensity of Flickr images taken and geotagged to a particular area. The blue is Twitter use. Looking at New York City above, we see that people tweet from different places than they photograph. For example, tourists photograph some areas while people tweet more from work and home.
While the tide is turning, comics are still an under-appreciated medium in 2011. This despite increased interest in superheroes given the Hollywood treatment and critical attention to thoughtful indie pieces like Fun Home and Love and Rockets. It's a shame because comics' juxtaposed panels, their special way of framing time in terms of space, are well equipped to address those intersections of identity, technology, and visual representation that get so much play in mainstream and academic press. Image Comics' Infinite Vacation is one new ongoing title that tackles those ideas head on.
Writer Nick Spencer is a rising star whose big hit, Morning Glories, blends teenage drama with the surreal paranoia of 60s TV thriller The Prisoner. In Infinite Vacation, Spencer teams with artist Christian Ward to tell the story of Mark, daily user of a ubiquitous, near-future technology which allows anyone to buy or sell their existence in parallel universes through a smartphone app; for $25,000 Mark can become the hero cop version of himself, and it'll cost at least $3000 for him to become a Mark who did not just get walked out on by that mystery girl in the coffee shop.
Mark is a cyborg less like Robocop and more like the average Facebook user who presents their preferred self to the world via an array of edited images, clicked "likes", and comments with friends (i.e., exactly how Cyborgology editors define the cyborg in their inaugural post). Identity definition and presentation through web spaces and consumer devices is a major theme in Infinite Vacation, whether it's the RSS feed of your alternate selves' lives and deaths or that mystery girl saying, "That thing in your hand isn't worth shit to me…" when Mark tries to prove his seriousness by showing how expensive his app-assisted reality purchase would have been. A gorgeous opening spread (below) has infinite Marks fitted into generic male outlines, reminiscent of your chosen profile picture replacing the pale blue Facebook default. more...
While many write about the various ways that the Internet makes us less safe, namely cyberbullying or being attacked by someone you met on Craigslist, it is also important to look at the new possibilities the web creates to ease suffering occurring in the physical world. When the Cyborgology editors recently spoke to WYPR about cyberbullying, we also discussed cybersupport, as is the case of Dan Savage's It Gets Better YouTube project. The folks at WYPR also pointed us to another interesting example, the Egypt-based Harassmap created by a group of volunteer techno-activists. According to this report [.pdf], 83% of Egyptian women and 98% of female travelers to this country report being harassed. Given the very limited legal recourse for women in Egypt, this online tool is one way to provide voice to the vulnerable.
The map above is a screen-shot from the Harassmp site. Women in Cairo can report incidences of sexual harassment from their mobile phones via text message. The incident that occurred in the physical world is then digitized as a plot on the map using the phone's GPS. This provides the masses a reality now augmented with a digital layer that seeks to "act as an advocacy, prevention, and response tool, highlighting the severity and pervasiveness of the problem." The story of social media is not just how it harms people, but also how it helps.
View the map here. More information here (scroll down for English).
The Pew Internet & American Life Project has just released new figures on the use of what they are calling "location based" or "geosocial" services (e.g., Foursquare, Gowalla, or Facebook Places). These services encourage social interaction through the sharing of location-based information. Usage patterns break down along some interesting lines. I have taken the liberty of compiling some tables for you.
Men are currently twice as likely to use geosocial services as woman. more...

Alzheimer's Disease
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Alzheimer's disease varies from person to person so not everyone will have the same symptoms. Also, the disease progresses faster in some people than in others. In general, though, Alzheimer's takes many years to develop and becomes increasingly severe over time.
Memory Problems -- A Common Early Sign
Memory problems are typically one of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. However, not all memory problems are caused by Alzheimer's. If you or someone in your family thinks your forgetfulness is getting in the way of your normal routine, it's time to see your doctor. He or she can find out what's causing these problems.
A person in the early (mild) stage of Alzheimer's disease may
- find it hard to remember things
- ask the same questions over and over
- get lost in familiar places
- lose things or put them in odd places
- have trouble handling money and paying bills
- take longer than normal to finish daily tasks
- have some mood and personality changes.
Other thinking problems besides memory loss may be the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. A person may have
- trouble finding the right words
- vision and spatial issues
- impaired reasoning or judgment.
See a chart that compares signs of Alzheimer's disease with signs of normal aging.
Later Signs of Alzheimer's
As Alzheimer's disease progresses to the moderate stage, memory loss and confusion grow worse, and people may have problems recognizing family and friends. Other symptoms at this stage may include
- difficulty learning new things and coping with new situations
- trouble carrying out tasks that involve multiple steps, like getting dressed
- impulsive behavior
- forgetting the names of common things
- hallucinations, delusions, or paranoia
- wandering away from home.
Symptoms of Severe Alzheimer's
As Alzheimer's disease becomes more severe, people lose the ability to communicate. They may sleep more, lose weight, and have trouble swallowing. Often they are incontinent—they cannot control their bladder and/or bowels. Eventually, they need total care.
Benefits of Early Diagnosis
An early, accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease helps people and their families plan for the future. It gives them time to discuss care options, find support, and make legal and financial arrangements while the person with Alzheimer's can still take part in making decisions. Also, even though no medicine or other treatment can stop or slow the disease, early diagnosis offers the best chance to treat the symptoms.

How Alzheimer's Is Diagnosed
The only definitive way to diagnose Alzheimer's disease is to find out whether plaques and tangles exist in brain tissue. To look at brain tissue, doctors perform a brain autopsy, an examination of the brain done after a person dies.
Doctors can only make a diagnosis of "possible" or "probable" Alzheimer's disease while a person is alive. Doctors with special training can diagnose Alzheimer's disease correctly up to 90 percent of the time. Doctors who can diagnose Alzheimer's include geriatricians, geriatric psychiatrists, and neurologists. A geriatrician specializes in the treatment of older adults. A geriatric psychiatrist specializes in mental problems in older adults. A neurologist specializes in brain and nervous system disorders.
To diagnose Alzheimer's disease, doctors may
- ask questions about overall health, past medical problems, ability to carry out daily activities, and changes in behavior and personality
- conduct tests to measure memory, problem solving, attention, counting, and language skills
- carry out standard medical tests, such as blood and urine tests
- perform brain scans to look for anything in the brain that does not look normal.
Test results can help doctors know if there are other possible causes of the person's symptoms. For example, thyroid problems, drug reactions, depression, brain tumors, head injury, and blood-vessel disease in the brain can cause symptoms similar to those of Alzheimer's. Many of these other conditions can be treated successfully.
New Diagnostic Methods Being Studied
Researchers are exploring new ways to help doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately. Some studies focus on changes in a person's memory, language, and other mental functions. Others look at changes in blood, spinal fluid, and brain-scan results that may detect Alzheimer's years before symptoms appear.

Ereinion Gil-galad was the son of Fingon (vide. Quenta Silmarillion - after the fall of Turgon, Ereinion Gil-Galad sone of Fingon was named High King Of The Noldor in Middle Earth.
- I'm afraid this is a question of Canon. But most Tolkienists agree that this was a mistake on the part of Christopher Tolkien, as almost all of Tolkien's later works say he is Orodreth's son. It is not his only marked mistake in the Silmarillion, though the Silmarillion is largely dependable. --Narfil Palùrfalas 09:54, 1 September 2006 (EDT)
I undid the changes made by an anonymous user showing preference to the version of the published Silmarillion. We have consciously preferred the "later" version for some time; such a pro-Silmarillion revision should not be done ad hoc, but require some discussion and agreement first, as we did with Celeborn. Sage 09:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- Other than that, I tend to express a preference on the "later notes". Sage 10:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for changing it without warning, but as it was simply a rearrangement of the text, I thought it wouldn't be so important, since all the alternate versions are still referenced and everybody can choose whatever s/he prefers. I guess that most people who stumble in this article do it because they have read the Silm or LOTR, not "The Shibboleth of Fëanor", so it's really confusing placing the less-known version first. Moreover, that revised version of the story was never included in the Silmarillion, and C.Tolkien had doubts wether it was definitive or not, or if his father would have included it in the narratives after all.—Unsigned comment by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs).
- My preference would be: if Tolkien wrote about a certain concept in any of the works published during his life-time, we use that as the "main" version in an article (no matter if a later note contradicts the concept as originally published). When different posthumously published writings disagree about a concept, we have at least two choices: (1) to use the most well-known version (often = The Silm) or (2) the latest version (final intent). Here, I'm not sure which is best, taking into account the readers of the encyclopedia. The first choice would perhaps be more "encyclopedic", while the second would be more "Tolkienologistic". Perhaps we will have to decide from case to case, unless we want the same standard applied on each and every article.--Morgan 17:45, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- Agree. Though I admit that I have a preference for the most polished works and the main narratives over the essays or notes (late or not). This is mainly because the essays are derived from the narratives, more concerned with linguistic/philosophical matters than the legends themselves, and many times incomplete. I think it's also very difficult to discern what is a true "final intent" and what it's just a fleeting idea, specially when new ideas appear in some notes, but never again reappear in other writings.

What round in boxing is there most likely to have a knock out?

What round in boxing is there most likely to have a knock out?
Suppose you would say early rounds - have more energy and power but is all relative to the fighter and their style. Some are explosive and go for it but others like to grind opponents down......
stupid question. it can happen in the first few seconds of ths first or in the last round.
hahahahaha class....
I saw an analysis of MMA matches and it showed that the vast majority of KOs and subs happen in the first round, then the drop off is quite quick.
I would imagine boxing to be the same but it would be interesting to see someone do research on it. Would make a good school/college/uni research project for someone.
I.e. "There is X% more chance of a KO happening in the first Y rounds than during the rest of the fight"
There would obviously be exceptions (outliers).
The hard part with research like this is collating the info. It need's a lot of planning, it's boring and a total pain in the ass - which is why I didn't finish Uni!!

The Significance of Emergency Locksmiths
There are a lot of people that have the need for emergency locksmith without admitting, and that is why some people always make sure they have one on their speed dials, because an emergency for emergency locksmith can happen at any time of any day and it would be a hassle if there is no one to call. The emergency locksmith can handle any lock that goes wrong like if you need car key replacement, or when the key got stuck in the door knob, or when you need a new pair of keys as soon as possible, the emergency locksmith are the best people to do their services for you. The best thing about emergency locksmith is that they also value security and protection above all else, which is why they always make themselves available at any time of any day to make sure that your problems with locks and keys are always solved for your convenience, no matter what time it is.
Hiring the emergency locksmith is one way of making sure you will get the best of services from them and that is why it is best to always make sure that the fees will be paid for their services since they always work hard to bring forth their best services in handling the locks and keys where they are best. There are a lot of emergency locksmith and there are also some that come in specialties like customizing locks or keys, some would even have the need to make sure they have the locking system of homes available at all times for their clients and customers that need them.
There are a lot of people that tend to go home late and some do not take heed of their keys until they hit their doorstep, and that is why emergency locksmith are a must since they are the only chance of helping people get inside their homes, especially when it is night and dangerous for some people. There are a lot of people that believe in what the emergency locksmith can do for them, and one of the best reasons people call the emergency locksmith and not the police is because they would not have to wait for long when their services will be rendered to helping them with their door locks at all times.
Some people always know when they need the emergency locksmith, and most of the time, the reason they need the emergency locksmith is because they lost their keys which will be the only way to access their homes or offices, which is why these emergency locksmith must always be trustworthy and reliable with their services.
There may be a lot of people that may think they do not need the emergency locksmith, but there will always come a time when they leave their car keys inside their cars and need car key replacement or they lose their house keys, the only option they have to help them is the emergency locksmith.

text: Today it just dawned on me just how convenient it is to have the three position window lockout switch (EMERG-NORM-LOCK) For those unfamiliar, the energ. position is a momentary position, and it supplys battery voltage around the ignition controlled power window relay, so you can roll up the windows without the key fron the drivers panel if you hold the switch in. However, I was lokoing at a '76 coupe not too long ago and noticed they did away with that switch, and only have normal and lock. I know my friends '64 has the three position switch as well, my question is when did they start using that switch, and when did they stop?

20 mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus across the valley
COACHELLA, Calif. - Officials from the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District say they collected twenty mosquito samples that tested positive for the West Nile virus. The sample included the first positive test from the west valley. That sample was collected east of Desert Hot Springs.
The other nineteen in the east valley are in areas bordered by Pierce Street, Avenue 66, Hayes Street and the Salton Sea. Those results bring this year's West Nile positive total in the Coachella Valley to forty-two mosquito samples and six sentinel chickens..

Hi All,
We've made some changes to the Item progress indicator on the Author dashboard.
Partly we've made this change because we think it looks Funky, but it's also part of larger changes that we're making to the Item proofing process to streamline and speed it up.
Some technical details for those who want it: The new proofing process has reviewers proofing from a personalised queue of items based on their individual skill sets. So where an item may be number 12 out of 50 for one reviewer it may be number 35 out of 95 for another reviewer.
So a numerical placement in the queue no longer has as much meaning.
What we can do is track the progress of an item through all of the queues and thus the Funky new Item proofing progress indicator was born.
Hope you all like it!
Yes,I found it and already post a threadshttp://activeden.net/forums/thread/author-uploads-currently-processing-change/55680
Awesome really! not as transparent as a number may be, but paradoxically much more soothing to the keen awaiting mind. Must have something to do with the bright colored gradient lol
Awesome job, guys.
Yes its really looks good, but a kind of estimated time would be very useful, and also the uploaded itmes XX/XX was very informative. Also was the info, regarding the category.
Looks good.
Very nice, just a small suggestion: Progress bar for files in the queue, instead numbers
Looks great! But I think it was done so that the authors did not see many people standing in line, and not nervous, that they loaded 600 in queue))
Just saw it on my latest item – look sweet!

"I love it, it came in so fast I am really excited that it came in. I will definitely do more beautiful card invitation. Thank you"
"I personally used the default flower colors, as the other colors didn't seem natural to me. The printing was beautiful, the design is simple but artsy, and the little pattern on the back of the card was just adorable! The only problem I have with this product is the card material. The pictures lead me to believe that it would have a bit more texture, and the options to change the card material where not very descriptive. Over all a great buy, will definitely be recommending it in the future!"
"My school's graduation invitations were so expensive and all of my friends bought them. They were plain and simple with only words, but I was able to buy my invitations from this site with my own picture and the cute fonts that they have available for way less than the boring invitations my school was selling."
"I love Tiny Prints! The original order had a glitch...we still don't know what happened but Tiny Prints came through and fixed the problem in a very timely manner. So impressed and the customer service was incredible. I'm about to order my daughter's boyfriend's announcements as well! Thanks so much!!"
"This card is even better in person. It's beautiful! The colors work perfectly together to frame your photos. The quality is excellent. Paper thickness is exactly what I expected. I'm happy I chose this card for our announcement."

UNITED: Contest for queen ends in a tie
ARMAGH -- United High School's recent homecoming celebration was a double success this year with both Sabrina Butler and Maggie Slawson being crowned queen as the result of a tied vote.
Neither Butler nor Slawson expected to win the crown, but both were happy to receive it.
"It is pretty cool to know that my classmates look up to me," Slawson said about being selected as a court member. "I'm truly blessed to be named one of United's homecoming queens, along with my good friend Sabrina," she said.
Butler asserted that, "Winning is such an honor, but I would have been just as happy if any of the girls had won. They're all truly amazing."
In addition, to Butler and Slawson, the following senior girls were chosen by their classmates for the homecoming court: Laura Brilhart, Nicolette Deyarmin, Kaleigh Edgar, Gabrielle Fether, Jamie Garshnick, Nicole McCloskey, Santana Myers, Lauren Oleksa, Lauren Overdorff and Kylie Wolfe.
United's traditional gnimocemoh game was held on Oct. 3. In this game, homecoming traditions are flipped on their head; the senior and junior girls play a football game while the senior and junior boys cheer them on. A gnimocemoh king is also crowned.
In the end, the juniors won the game 14-12. The junior coaches were Darla Kiefer and James Dykun. The senior coaches were Robert Penrose and Brian Manges. Slawson and Overdorff each scored a touchdown for the seniors while Eden Bloom and Laken Pudliner scored touchdowns for the juniors.
The gnimocemoh king court included the following senior boys: Craig Fry, Charles Hropovich, Doug Lavis, Shawn Lichvar, Jonathon Long, Ben Mountan, David Patterson, Ryan Smith and Miles Stahl.
The crown went to Patterson. Even though he didn't expect to win, Patterson said, "It is an honor to be a court member."
Congratulations to our queens and king crowned as part of the 2012-13 homecoming and gnimocemoh celebrations.

The mysterious executive who is said to have been the primary candidate is described as a man in his 50s, the second most important person "at a well-known American technology company," according to the former Nokia chairman Jorma Ollila. You can go on and speculate (and of course Tim Cook comes to mind right away), but the ex-Nokia executive does not mention a name.
Elop became the Nokia chief executive later in 2010 as he was considered to be "a good salesman and a decisive corporate executive." You all know the story from there on - the "burning platform" memo that became the doomsday for Symbian, sales and revenue nosediving, Nokia adopting Windows Phone exclusively and as company's fortunes declined it was bought for $7.2 billion by Microsoft. That's just around a third of Nokia's value in 2010.
The sad story continues with Ollila admitting that using Windows Phone exclusively at Nokia has failed.
"We were not successful in using Microsoft's operating system to create competitive products, or an alternative to the two dominant companies in the field," the ex-chairman said.
At the same time, Ollila notes that it's "impossible to say what would have happened to the company if different decisions had been made in early 2011 or at some other time."
If (or rather after) Microsoft is approved to acquire Nokia in 2014, the Finnish company will focus on its maps and network, while all phone business will now happen under Redmond rule.

How Hole shaped what I know about rock & roll and sexuality
A page from my high school-era scrapbook.
Everyone loves "Doll Parts." At least that's the song the comes up any time I speak about Hole to a non-Hole fan. I'm not complaining. "Doll Parts" is arguably a better point of reference for the band than the other common conversation piece regarding Hole, which is the comment that Courtney Love is insane. She might be insane; I don't know. I can't really wrap my head around who she is because I've never met her. But what I can speak to what is the unmitigated effect that Hole and Live Through This -- released twenty years ago this past week -- had on me as a human being.
See also: I lived through this: My life in a Hole cover band
The makeshift label on this album reminds me that Live Through This was one of the first ten CDs I ever owned.
Again, I don't know Courtney Love, but what I do know is that she created an album that made me want to be a rock star. She carried around an image and persona that I wanted to replicate exactly. The desire to emulate Love's likeness was partially because I liked the way she looked, but it was also because it was a way for me to visually rebel. It became my own method of defiance and reaction; I simply wanted to fuck with some of my fellow students in 1994 at George Washington High School who spent an inordinate amount of time fucking with me.
I wanted to fuck with the dudes who would walk up to me in the hall and ask me if I was a virgin; I wanted to fuck with the dudes who called me a whore, but would also ask me out when no one was looking; I wanted to fuck with the girls who taunted me by calling me a "lesbian," when it was clear to me that their own sexual preference was what was really bothering them, not my garter belts and baby doll dresses that, for whatever reason, looked "gay," if that was such a way to look.

This past week, Live Through This turned twenty years old. I could hammer out the details of what was going on in the world of Hole and the inextricably linked Nirvana in 1994, but plenty of other people/writers/musicians have already done that and done it well: See Patty Schemel's insanely good documentary, Hit So Hard, or this collection of essays from the likes of Maura Johnston and members of the Coathangers, or this fantastic piece by Jessica Hopper, which goes straight to the source and interviews the surviving members of Hole, as well as producers, engineers and A&R people associated with the release.
I understand what an insurmountable cliche it is for me to say that Live Through This "changed my life" -- but I don't have another way to describe it. Live Through This and Hole's existence from 1993 to 1997 shaped how I play music, how I view music, how I write music, how I write about music and how I outwardly reflect the defining ways music has shaped me.
Aesthetically speaking, Live Through This was my very short but fully complete image guidebook -- at 14, I wanted to look like the model on the album's cover, Leilani Bishop, runny mascara and all. But even more than that, I wanted to look like Courtney. It was my freshman year of high school, but I bought a very pimp-like pastel pink fake fur coat because it was the closest I could find to the one Courtney wore in a Polaroid band photo on the inside sleeve of the record.
I joined the cult of Courtney and never looked back, my hair bleached and stuck together with Goody barrettes or wrapped around a tiara, baby doll dresses as my uniform with black patent leather heels, garter belts, thick red lipstick and powder white face make-up to accent. Courtney was a master at looking strategically fucked up and I wanted to look that way, too. I carried a lunch box for a purse and a backpack with the words "harlot," "teenage whore" and "buckle bunny" scratched across it in marker. I smoked cigarettes behind the Dunkin' Donuts at lunch in these get-ups and went to shows in the same.Next Page

: Re: Update on Keratin Treatment Part 2
I wanted to provide an update on the GKHair Full Tame/Resistant treatment since my last post. My natural curls are coming back a bit more each time I wash my hair. I am thrilled about this and although I still don't have my curly afro back, I can wash and go and my hair has loose curls mid way on through to the ends. I do not have the volume that I normally do, but my hair certainly isn't flat and straight like it was after the initial wash. For the summer I will definitely go with the medium tame/curly formula. My hair air dries in less than an hour! I can pull my hair back into a curly ponytail or a bun and not fight to control it for a polished look. Excellent!

The Damaraland mole-rat Cryptomys damarensis exhibits an extreme reproductive division of labour. Reproduction in the colony is restricted to a single breeding pair, resulting from a two-fold control: (i) a reduced pituitary synthesis and/or secretion of luteinizing hormone leading to a block to ovulation in non-reproductive females; and (ii) a strong inhibition to breeding with familar kin. Circulating basal concentrations of luteinizing hormone as well as luteinizing hormone levels measured in response to a single exogenous gonadotrophin releasing hormone challenge, were significantly lower in non-reproductive females in the presence of the reproductive female than those in colonies lacking a reproductive female. Urinary progesterone concentrations before the removal of the reproductive female were significantly higher in non-reproductives than the post removal values. Behavioural studies from sib-sib and non-sib pairings provide evidence for a strong incest avoidance, probably resulting from an inhibition of breeding with familiar colony members. A total of four pairings of non-sibs resulted in copulatory activity and eventual conception. In contrast, four couples of sib-sib combinations failed to produce any sexual activity or offspring. Thus, suppression of reproduction in these non-reproductive, subterranean bathyergids is complicated by the masking effect of familiarity that prevents incest, in addition to the physiological inhibition of fertility in the presence of the reproductive female.

I've been doing some digging on the net and found that it could very well be factory paint. There are a few sites with some really good information. Mine is a 1954 Tula Arsnal rifle. It would apear that some were painted all black. I also found a site that tells you how to do a trigger job. It has a link to another site were you can get a new sear if you screw up or you don't want to use the original. There are a bunch of other parts too.

Tri County Community College
Video duration: 6:06Video has closed captioning.

Most of my big "life hurdles" are behind me... only a little ways to go now - but I need to get a good head start on just learning to enjoy each and every during the times both good and bad - ya just never know.
