text: Chest FluoroscopyWhat is chest fluoroscopy?Chest fluoroscopy is an imaging test that uses X-rays to look at how well your lungs are working. It can also look at other parts of your respiratory tract. Your respiratory tract includes your lungs, nose, throat, trachea, and bronchi.Fluoroscopy is a kind of X-ray "movie." This test uses more radiation than a standard chest X-ray. So your healthcare provider will make sure that this test is important for a diagnosis.Why might I need a chest fluoroscopy?You may need chest fluoroscopy if your healthcare provider needs to see how well your lungs, diaphragm, or other parts of your chest are working. Your provider may order this test if he or she thinks you may have:Less movement or no movement in your diaphragm because of lung disease or injuryLess air movement in your lungs (loss of lung elasticity)Blockage (obstruction) in your bronchiolesFluid in the space between your lungs and your chest wall (pleural effusion)Mass in your chest cavityThis test may also be used along with other tests or treatments. For example, the radiologist can use this test to help guide where needles or long tubes (catheters) should be placed in your chest.Your provider may have other reasons to recommend chest fluoroscopy.What are the risks of a chest fluoroscopy?You may want to ask your healthcare provider about the amount of radiation used during the test. Also ask about the risks as they apply to you.Consider writing down all X-rays you get, including past scans and X-rays for other health reasons. Show this list to your provider. The risks of radiation exposure may be tied to the number of X-rays you have and the X-ray treatments you have over time.Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects.You may have other risks depending on your specific health condition. Be sure to talk with your provider about any concerns you have before the procedure.How do I get ready for a chest fluoroscopy?Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you. Ask him or her any questions you have about the procedure.You may be asked to sign a consent form that gives permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if anything is not clear.You usually do not need to stop eating or drinking before the test. You also usually will not need medicine to help you relax (sedation).Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.Tell your healthcare provider if you have any body piercing on your chest.Follow any other instructions your provider gives you to get ready.What happens during a chest fluoroscopy?You may have chest fluoroscopy as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.Generally, chest fluoroscopy follows this process:You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may get in the way of the test.You may be asked to remove clothing. If so, you will be given a gown to wear.You will stand between the X-ray machine and the fluoroscopic screen. If you are unable to stand, you will be put on an X-ray table. You may be asked to move into different positions, cough, or hold your breath while the fluoroscopy is being done.The radiologist will use a special X-ray scanner to make images of your chest. The fluoroscopy images may be seen on a monitor. This lets the radiologist see how parts of your chest move during the test.The test is done when the radiologist has taken all pictures he or she needs.What happens after a chest fluoroscopy?You do not need any special care after chest fluoroscopy. Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.Next stepsBefore you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:The name of the test or procedureThe reason you are having the test or procedureWhat results to expect and what they meanThe risks and benefits of the test or procedureWhat the possible side effects or complications areWhen and where you are to have the test or procedureWho will do the test or procedure and what that person's qualifications areWhat would happen if you did not have the test or procedureAny alternative tests or procedures to think aboutWhen and how will you get the resultsWho to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problemsHow much will you have to pay for the test or procedure Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Keep and rebuild flat tappet 350, or try and get roller cam 350?
I am finally pulling my motor and in my research (on this forum and others), I see that roller outdoes flat tappet. My question is.....is it a big enough difference to SELL my current 350, look for and buy a roller 350?
I should be putting Vortec heads, or aftermarkets on with a RPM air intake, cam to fit, edelbrock carb....ect
also one more piece of the consideration puzzle, I will be selling the truck its going into. Thanks for your help!
Roller or not.
If you go for a roller motor would the vehicle have a higher resale. I guess it depends who your buyer is and what they expect from the powerplant. Someone who knows the benefits of a roller block would buy it opposed to a flat tappet. If my engine was a roller i dont think my car would be worth much more even if it could sustain higher revs for longer. What sort of buyer would that be..???????More questions than answers. :thumbup:
A Jensen Interceptor that appears every year here for our annual Targa event has a non-roller engine and comes back every year with little more than an oil change .
If you're selling the truck id put as little money as possible into the engine. If you buy your parts new you'll never make your money back.

At Cook Inlet Native Head Start we are working with our families in getting them and their children set up for success in school. For us, attendance our biggest goal in getting children transitioned into the environment of learning. It is amazing how much better children do even in pre-school when they attend regularly.
This had me reflect on how attendance effected me in college when I was there on a regular basis at at class every single day. It is easy to miss a day of class at the University level, but when you are there every day, wow, it makes a world of difference. Please see these points below:
Five Ways Attendance Is Vital to Your Higher Education
- Attendance is directly correlated with grades. An article published by Minnesota State University cited a study that demonstrated the relationship between class-related time commitments to the students' overall course performance. The results? The most valuable time commitment was the time actually spent in the classroom. While studying and homework are important, it's usually the class itself that ties together readings, tests, and concepts that are important to the subject. And of course grades could be the difference between finishing college and not finishing; in college, grades reflect your success in learning the material and can help lead to scholarships.
- Attendance increases your support system. Regular attendance makes it more likely that your professors will recognize you and your contributions on an individual basis, and increase their motivation to help you when you're struggling. Also, the more you attend class, the more likely you'll be to make friends in the class. When you have people with whom you can study and exchange ideas, you'll likely be more motivated to work hard (and perhaps even enjoy class time).
- Attendance places value on education. If you're really interested in not only succeeding in college, but also enriching your life, attendance is key. Students can become so focused on the earning the degree and passing classes that postsecondary education becomes a kind of game. Go to class to avoid the tendency to see school as a series of hoops for jumping through. Make connections between what you're reading, what you're hearing, and what you're producing for tests. The more you make an effort to appreciate the material for its own sake, the more you're valuing the education itself.
- Attendance enables networking. In addition to having a greater support network of peers and professors who know your name, attendance can also be invaluable once you graduate. Need references? Talk to your professors. They are more likely to write letters for you if they know you and what makes you a unique thinker with something to contribute. Need job leads? Ask your classmates. Even if they aren't in the position to hire you, their recommendation can go a long way if they know someone who is.
- Attendance helps you get the most for your money. Let's face it, college costs are increasing each year, and ultimately, you are paying for an education. If you get the job based on the fact that you have a degree but you haven't actually learned anything, your success at that job isn't likely, and you'll be in a similar position to someone who hasn't invested money in a good education.

Contemplation and Meditation… What is the difference?
May 30, 2011 by Fr. Bartunek
Filed under Contemplation, Fr. Bartunek, Meditation, Mental Prayer, Mystical Experience, Prayer
Dear Father John, How is contemplation different than meditation? Contemplative prayer consists of a more passive (and more sublime) experience of God. If Christian meditation is the soul's inspired quest to discover God (our work of seeking God), contemplation is God's lifting of the soul into himself (God's work of embrace), so that it effortlessly basks in the divine light.

infer vs. imply
Sir Thomas More is the first writer known to have used both infer and imply in their approved senses in 1528 (with infer meaning "to deduce from facts" and imply meaning "to hint at"). He is also the first to have used infer in a sense close in meaning to imply (1533). Both of these uses of infer coexisted without comment until some time around the end of World War I. Since then, the "indicate" and "hint or suggest" meanings of infer have been frequently condemned as an undesirable blurring of a useful distinction. The actual blurring has been done by the commentators. The "indicate" sense of infer, descended from More's use of 1533, does not occur with a personal subject. When objections arose, they were to a use with a personal subject (which is now considered a use of the "suggest, hint" sense of infer). Since dictionaries did not recognize this use specifically, the objectors assumed that the "indicate" sense was the one they found illogical, even though it had been in respectable use for four centuries. The actual usage condemned was a spoken one never used in logical discourse. At present the condemned "suggest, hint" sense is found in print chiefly in letters to the editor and other informal prose, not in serious intellectual writing. The controversy over the "suggest, hint" sense has apparently reduced the frequency with which the "indicate" sense of infer is used.
Examples of infer in a Sentence
May I remark here that although I seem to infer that private communication is an unholy mess of grammatical barbarism, … such is not my intent … —V. Louise Higgins, "Approaching Usage in the Classroom," English Journal, March 1960
… I infer that Swinburne found an adequate outlet for the creative impulse in his poetry … —T. S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood, 1920
Lucy … reseated herself with an alacrity and cheerfulness which seemed to infer that she could taste no greater delight … —Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility, 1811
It's difficult to infer how these changes will affect ordinary citizens.

Spanish / Perfect Tenses
posted by Jessie .
I know that haber is used as an auxilary verb and is used with other verbs to say things like "I have [verb]" or "I had [verb]". I know that in order to say "I had walked", you would say "Habia caminado". How would you say "I had been walking"? Is haber used in a different tense, or is it not used at all?
This is an excellent site to give you help with this...
i would say "estaba caminando"
"The past perfect is NOT used to indicate an action which began in previous past time and is still in progress in (simple) past time; the imperfect tense is used for this purpose:
Hacía cuatro años que vivíamos aquí. We had lived (had been living) here for four years. " --taken from the link
So if I wanted to say something "had been used" long ago, that's not an action that's still occuring, right? So would it be okay to say "habia usado"?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. GuruBlue gave you an excellent site for the Perfect Tenses.
You will be primarily concerned with the Present Perfect Tense (Present of the auxiliary "haber" plus the "past participle" as in "he estudiado" = I have studied. OR The Pluperfect Tense (Past Perfect Tense) using "haber" in the Imperfect plus the past participle as in "había estudiado" = I had studied. There is, however, a Preterit Perfect Tense "hube estudiado" used mainly in literary style to indicate that the action or event had just ended. And, of course, there is a Future Perfect Tense "habré estudiado" + I will/shall have studied and a Conditional Perfect "habría estudiado" = I would have studied. You might also come across a Perfect Infinitive "haber estudiado" = to have studied or a Perfect Participle "habiendo estudiado" = having studied.
As for your question about "had been + gerund" you might see "había estado + past participle" or "había sido + past participle" however you will be most apt to use the "hacía + period of time + Imperfect" as you mentioned above.

Amplify Interactive's notes from SMX Advanced Seattle 2008
Second day of SMX Advanced, Organic track
Moderator: Jeffrey K. Rohrs, ExactTarget
Q&A Moderator: Barry Smyth, Search Strategies
Ian McAnerin, McAnerin International:
You can geolocate web pages (not just sites).
Search Engines look at the domain country code (ccTLD), ip address, and link analysis.
- This is a script, and if the country domain is country specific, then the engine stops and assumes that country. If not, then IP address. Then, link analysis.
When looking for international links, you can have many issues:
- local terms
- spelling issues (UK vs US)
- Pop Culture
- Other Cultural Issues
SEED Tactic: Symantic Expression Equivalency Document
"Good marketing material appeals to your emotions" and then look at info. Emotions are very culturally relevent. Better writers/writing translates poorly.
Put information into bullet points and take out emotion. Then translate to other language. Then take that and give it to a real copywriter in the country to put the emotion back in. You might want to translate back as a check.
Andy Atkins-Kruger, WebCertain:
- Adopt a global PR strategy.
- Manage 301s
- Keyword URLs (can be very difficult)
- Source local links
- Need expert keyword research in target language
- Local hosting and cctlds needed
Language and content presentation
- Don't mix up languages on the same page
- Need more than limited content to help google detect location.
This becomes a the recurring theme from all the other panelists. You need to understand culture, spelling, etc. you need to host locally and get local links.

Book talk: Spain inspires novelist Rabb to complete trilogy
By Martin Roberts
GIJON, Spain (Reuters Life!) - U.S. novelist Jonathan Rabb chose the Spanish Civil War to round off a trilogy of novels in which the turbulent interwar years of the 20th century have buffeted Berlin detective Nikolai Hoffner.
Rabb's new novel does not have a title yet as he only delivered the manuscript to his publisher two weeks ago, but the plot is well defined.
In this novel, Hoffner arrives in Barcelona in 1936, shortly after a military uprising against the Spanish government. He makes his way over two weeks to Badajoz in western Spain and realizes that an all-out and bloody civil war is under way.
The first novel in the series, "Rosa," Hoffner investigates the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of revolutionary leader Rosa Luxemburg in 1919, whose body did not turn up until four months after her murder.
In the second book, "Light and Shadow," Hoffner teams up with legendary film director Fritz Lang to investigate a murder which delves into a Berlin where talking films are revolutionizing entertainment but Hitler's brownshirts are also making inroads.
Rabb spoke to Reuters about his forthcoming novel on the sidelines of the annual Semana Negra book festival in northern Spain.
Q: You decided to set the third volume of your trilogy in Spain at the beginning of the Civil War. Why?
A: I needed to take Hoffner out of Berlin. It's 1936, he's a half Jew, it's a year after the (racist) Nuremburg laws have gone into effect. He no longer fits into Berlin. This is a man who was 45 in 1919, he's now 63. Continued...

Optimum Hyper Polish Spray 128 oz. Refill
Paint perfect in a spray!
Could it be? A spray car polish? It is. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is a fast cutting, zero dusting polish in a spray-on liquid form. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray contains a unique blend of proprietary polymers and dusting agents that will rapidly remove swirls and minor blemishes while producing brilliant gloss and clarity. There's nothing else like it!
Optimum Hyper Polish Spray was developed for a major car manufacturer looking for a fast-acting finishing polish for their manufacturing plant. After wet sanding, they wanted a polish that would fully remove the sanding marks, and they wanted to eliminate the hazing that resulted from dry areas of the pad. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray fulfilled both requirements.
For starters, Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is a fantastic finishing polish. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray removes sanding scratches without hazing and finishes beautifully. Use it on scratches, swirls, and oxidation to restore a smooth. glossy finish.
Next, the polish had to eliminate the dry buffing marks produced by the pad. Spray application was the only way. Spray application allows you to spread product more evenly over the paint and the buffing pad.
By spraying the polish onto a buffing pad, you can effectively prime the entire pad with a minimal amount of product. Therefore you're using the entire pad to polish the paint.
You'll achieve perfect results often in less time than a conventional polish, though you can work as long as needed. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray has a very long working time and does not dust.
Optimum Hyper Polish Spray was designed as a finishing polish but it acts more aggressively when used with a more aggressive pad.
You could even use a wool pad. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray has the cutting power anywhere between a finishing polish and a light compound, depending on the pad selected.
Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is the polish you need, no matter what kind of polish you need!
Optimum Hyper Polish Spray contains a combination of super micro abrasives (which cut through the entire buffing cycle) and diminishing abrasives (which break down under pressure over time). This combined technology allows Optimum Hyper Polish Spray to cut as long as necessary to remove blemishes while still finishing smooth and glossy. Amazing!
Just like all Optimum polishes, Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is extremely easy to use. Its spray application minimizes the chance of overloading or gumming up the pad, and it promotes even application. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray does not sling and can be easily cleaned up with a damp microfiber towel. Use it in the sun or shade to achieve outstanding results.
Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is VOC compliant and body shop safe. It has been approved for auto plant use and has performed successfully in plant trials.
If Optimum Hyper Polish Spray can perform in the demanding environment of a manufacturing plant, you can definitely depend on it to perform in your garage!
Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is the future of car polishes. Its innovative spray application, long working time, and flawless results put it in a class all its own. Try Optimum Hyper Polish Spray and achieve the Optimum finish!
128 oz. Refill
Shake well.
Use a polishing foam pad with a rotary buffer at 1200-1600 RPM. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray can also be used on an orbital polisher with the pad of your choice.
Use one to two sprays per 2 ft. area. You can spray the pad or the car panel. There is no need to apply additional product because Optimum Hyper Polish Spray has a long working time.
Use light to medium pressure on the buffer until desired results are achieved.
Wipe off residue with a dampened microfiber towel.

Our agility as organizations, teams and executives is being tested like never before these days, and we've become prone to falling for mythical solutions. Instead, what are the secrets of agility which separate the winners and losers, the victors and victims, and the minority from the majority?
|Getting Overwhelmed
|Getting Organized
|Falling Behind
|Pulling Ahead
|Wondering Why
|Knowing Why(and what/when/where/how/who)
For the majority, organizational agility is an ordeal. They are increasingly getting overwhelmed, falling behind and wondering why. On the other hand, the minority are increasingly getting organized for agility, are pulling ahead and knowing why — not only knowing why, but also knowing what agility is (and what it is not), when you have it (and when you don't), where it comes from, how you develop it and who you need to be in the process. At the core, they understand one of the secrets of agility:
For organizational agility to not be an ordeal, it has to be an 'and-deal' not an 'or-deal,' facilitated by a paradigm shift of focus.
Organizational agility is an "AND" proposition. This is the first of three secrets of organizational agility which we will review, corresponding to the three myths of organizational agility:
|Loose & Unstructured
|"AND" Proposition
|KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
|Integration, Alignment, Attunement
|Cash is King
|Flow / Triage / Calm
|Amazing Grind
|Amazing Grace
Executives, teams and organizations that learn, apply and achieve the secrets of agility have "amazing grace." They are in the minority. Those who continue to subscribe to the myths of agility experience an "amazing grind." They are in the majority. Follow along in the coming weeks to discover the secrets which separate the minority from the majority.
Sustained success in business is increasingly challenging these days. Being in the minority not the majority starts with understanding the why, what, when, where, how and who of organizational agility. Find out more at In the Driving Seat.

I've been painting cars since the 70's, when I used lacquer.
In the 80's I went to acrylic enamel, I cleared it with enamel and
used a hardener (always) and buffed it out to a show car finish.
The paint was very durable, my own car looked as good 5 yrs later as the
day I buffed it. I'm sure if you saw it you'd swear it was basecoat/clearcoat.
It lasted great and I'm sure much longer after I sold the car.
I'd demonstrate the durability to customers by wipeing my car with
lacquer thinner, never phased it. It was tough stuff.
I now use basecoat/clearcoat, have for 15 yrs.
I guarantee all my work for 3 yrs., haven't had a single one come back yet.
It's not a durability issue with me.
(I never had a paint issue on any of my repairs painted with AE)
For me it's what works the easiest, cures quicker (Can buff out easily the next day.)
and has better/easier blending and color matching.
As far as durability, if done right, both paint types will last longer than most
people own their daily drivers. And that's what I do, repairs on daily
Help base coat clear coat truble
1- can i uses a realy hot - reducer for painting in 100 - 120 plus temp
to burn in to an exsisting panle to do a repair
Rather than uses a burn in reducer its was twices as high in prices
2 when using the flex Additive, on the plastic bumber Do I but the flex -Additive in the base coat and the clear coat and do i put hardner in with the bases coat too along with the clear coat
1} Need more information. If catalyzed paint or factory paint is on the car, you are not really going to burn any thing in. Solvent won't soften it like that paints of long ago. What you will be doing is thinning the edge of the paint or clear to make a blend into the old paint. This is done be spraying the edge with blending solvent or reducer and carefully buffing the area the next day. You really wouldn't need an extra slow reducer. Try to find badbobs post on blending and his method, he sprays an intercoat clear first to the blend area, and believe he has talked about the procedure. I'd save blending for a real small area if possible, your best bet is to blend in your base and clear the whole panel whenever possible if you are using basecoat/clearcoat. I wouldn't even think about painting in 120 degree temps, whew, it has gotten 100 in my garage before, but at those times I wait
2) take that flex additive back and get your money back. Prepping and sanding the urethane bumper ( or whatever you are painting) and cleaning well is going to do you more good. Specially with urethane paint which is fairly flexable as it is. I think flex additive is a waste of money. In fact most flex additives eventually evaporate out of the paint over time, and are mainly for installing parts painted off the vehicle where it may be twisted on a bit installing. Test fit before painting. I've never had a problem painting something off the car and installing it without using a flex additive. If you do use flex additive it should be mixed in with the single stage paint or the clear and used on the whole area you are painting. Do not add it to basecoat.
polishing compound to knock them down ? If it weren't for these nasty buggers my last job would have been perfect. Thanks for the input. OTG
I went to clearing my AE just for the buffing ease it made for me.
But if you have some minor "nibs" of dust I' would think you
could knock them off with some 2000 grit wet paper and buf it out
as long as it was minimal.
For the ones I didn't clearcoat I usually flow coated them,
where I sanded it down the next day or so with fine wet paper like
600 or finer then I shot a couple of real wet coats over that.
That always amazed me how well it flowed and leveld out on that
second spraying. I got a lot less dirt that way too.
I would even add retarder in place of some of my reducer and just fog/mist
it on and it would melt in all over without running.
I would use minimal air flow on my exhaust fan to keep the dirt down.
burning in clear coat
plaese ,
Can any one tell me the best way to spot patch base coat clear coat with out clearing the hole panle
I have some hael dents here and there but realy dont wont to clear coat the hole truck
whats the best way to do this
I was told i could uses reducer that was made to shoot on realy hot days over 100 F,
in a cooler setting that the that this reducer had slower dry time and help burn in to the exsisting coat
the burn in Clear here is tree times more that the 100 F plush reducer that im beleaving has some retarder in it so not to flash in realy hot climit I was told that if i could spray in a 75 to 85 F climit with the 100 F plus reducer that i would have the same results as burn in clear has on burning in to the clear Help My truck is brite white no matalics any sajestions
There is a lot of info on this forum that is on "blending",
do a search and you will find volumes on it, there's a lot on it.
If you can't find what you need please start a new thread asking
how to blend.
topshop, use blending solvent instead of slow reducer, if you don't want to purchase a large quantitiy of blender then I suggest you buy one of the aresol types that are now available. SEM is just one supplier-there are quite a few available.
blending solvent
OK Im up and running ill try it blending solvent
ive painted for 18 years laid off for 11 and painting again both paints are easy and nice but your durability and technology is in your bc/cc and if properly applied your modern matierals will hold up years beyond old school. I know this because i started out on a/enamel and ditzler delclear on top and this bc/cc surpasses by all means. just my 2 cents
So what happened? I know I'm about 4 years late on the subject, but wow, after all those questions and no pictures of the results? Did the truck ever get painted?
Myself, I'm trying to learn all I can about the various paints and have decided on a an acrylic urethane because I'm too lazy to wet sand cc. For now, I would like to have a nice looking paint job for my old car that will be sitting outside (or until I get a house with a 2-car garage).
doesn't matter what it is you are spraying. that really makes no difference if you have to sand and buff or not. fyi acrylic urethane is the same as cc. its just clearcoat with pigment in it. bc/cc might be a little more expensive to do but for a beginner it is going to be way easier to get good results and fix any mistakes.
you can only sand and buff if its a solid color. all paint will just look better being sanded and buffed. if its a metallic or pearl color then you should put a couple coats of clear on top before sanding and buffing.
For some reason I'm not seeing how sanding and buffing the clear coat will give the overall paint job a nice mirror finish. I understand the glassy shine is from the clear coat itself, but what about the underlying base coat?
For example, after you apply the final base coat, you'll apply a coat of clear before the base gets a chance to dry out (i.e., don't wait 24 hours before applying the clear). So, when you apply the clear to the not-quite-dry base coat, does this make the base coat retain the shine (gloss-wet look)? I mean, if the BC totally dried, I'm guessing it would be somewhat dull (stage 2 BC), right, and that is why you don't want to wait too long to apply the CC? I understand the concept of apply a few coats of clear, then doing a wet sand with 2000 grit and then using a buffing compound to get the glass shine, but I'm wondering what is the awesome "shine" from? The clear or the combination of a glossy color under the glassy appearance of the clear? Because I'm just imagining that the base coat, not sanded or buffed prior to the clear coat, wouldn't look that great, but apparently it does, thanks to the buffed out clear coat on top. Hopefully you can make sense of what I'm trying to say.

Oil Filter Analysis
Anyone experienced with companies that do oil-filter analysis? I'd like to get a report on what 2 filters have trapped inside. One is a 300 mile use filter from new engine and the second will be a 3000 mile use filter. I know there are a number of companies that do this analysis, but I've not done this before. Looking for recommendations. Thanks
Re: Oil Filter Analysis
DIY - Using a vise to hold the filter, carefully hacksaw around the crimp at the tapping plate and pull the media out. Using a box knife, cut the media pleats away from the end caps. Break the media into sections of 10 - 12 pleats and (rags underneath) squeeze each accordion dry in the vise. Open the pleats and flatten, disregarding any paint or metal chips at the end you sawed off. Remember that oil flows through the media from the case side to the center tube, so contaminants will be trapped in the outside diameter of the media.
Aluminum chips or shavings will be bright silver, iron will be darker steel metallic, cylinder wall material - iron from ring breakin - will be silvery gray dust and bits and pieces of gasket and sealer will be various colors. The media should, on a 7,500 mile filter, be a uniform dark brown/amber color.
Look at these - http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/index.html and http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oil.../opinions.html
I can guarantee that, in the 300 mile filter, you will find some aluminum flecks, some plain old black grit from the oil passages, and maybe some bits and pieces of excess gasket sealers. In the 3,000 mile filter, practically nothing except media discoloration. Both completely normal.

Re: Oil Filter Analysis
I use a filter cutter to open them. I have to use it on airplanes, so it's handy to check other filters. Carbon particles are what I usually find in a normal higher mileage engine. Metal can be bad news, and I use a magnet to catch the steel debris. Aluminum Particles can be seen OK with a magnifier if not with the naked eye.

Sealed Air's Protective Cushions
By Stewart Scharf
Best known for its Bubble Wrap and Cryovac products, Sealed Air (SEE ) was recently upgraded by Standard & Poor's from 4 STARS (accumulate) to 5 STARS (buy). We raised the rating based on Sealed Air's global reach, new product introductions, strength in food packaging, and improving market trends, which we believe should benefit the protective- and specialty-packaging segment.
Sealed Air is a leader in protective- and specialty-packaging products, as well as food-packaging products. The company expanded its global presence in food packaging when it merged with W.R. Grace's Cryovac business in 1998. Through mid-2003, 61% of its net sales were from food packaging, with the remaining 39% coming from protective and specialty packaging. In 2002, no customer or affiliated group of customers accounted for 10% or more of the company's consolidated net sales.
Sealed Air has a significant presence outside the U.S. Europe accounted for 26% of total net sales in 2002, while nearly 10% of sales came from Asia Pacific, 7% from Latin America, and 3% from Canada. An increasing proportion of sales are expected to come from outside the U.S. in future years.
Food-packaging products -- including shrink bags, shrink films, and laminated films -- are sold mainly under the Cryovac name. The segment also makes polystyrene foam trays, rigid packaging and absorbent pads. Surface protection and other cushioning products include the ubiquitous Bubble Wrap -- plastic sheets containing encapsulated air bubbles that protect products from damage through shock or vibration during shipment.
Sealed Air's engineered products include Instapak foam-in-place packaging systems for things like computer, electronic, and communications equipment; and Jiffy protective mailers and other durable mailers and bags.
The demand for innovative packaging products has picked up steam in recent years, and we believe Sealed Air has done well in developing new products and improving its existing products and processes. From time to time, the company also acquires new packaging designs or techniques developed by others and commercializes them. The company has joint research and development projects combining the technical capabilities of its three divisions. It incurred R&D-related expenses of $59.3 million in 2002, up from $55.8 million in 2001, and $54.3 million in 2000.
One segment of the food-packaging business that has already shown significant potential for growth, in our view, is case-ready packaging -- the trays, pads, and films sold to meat and poultry processors to package their products prior to shipment to the supermarket. Sealed Air's management believes this could be a $200 million-plus business for the company over the next few years.
We expect Sealed Air to continue to focus on generating cash flow and reducing leverage on its balance sheet, although long-term debt should increase due to the recent issuance of senior notes. In July, 2003, the company used $1.3 billion from the note issuance to redeem its Series A convertible preferred stock at $51 a share.
We anticipate that this transaction will contribute to cash flow, as the net after-tax interest expense on the new debt is less than the preferred dividends that would have been paid. This should add 3 cents to 2003 earnings per share. Also, EPS will no longer be diluted by the potential conversion of the preferred stock. The deal should have another positive effect for Sealed Air: lower borrowing costs and extended maturities on its debt. The company will take an estimated net charge to equity of 27 cents a share on the redemption in the 2003 third quarter.
Sealed Air's reported 2003 second-quarter EPS of 56 cents, vs. 61 cents a year earlier, was in line with S&P's estimate. Net sales increased 10% (with 6% coming from the positive foreign-exchange effect of a strong euro), reflecting 13% growth in food packaging and a 6% increase in the protective- and specialty-packaging segment.
Excluding foreign currencies, its food packaging sales rose 6% and protective- and specialty-packaging edged up 1%. Overall, net sales benefited from higher prices and as higher-margin items made up a larger proportion of sales. A boost in unit volume for certain products in the food packaging segment also helped.
For 2003, we project that sales (excluding acquisitions and foreign exchange) will rise at a percentage rate in the mid-single digits, reflecting our view of further growth in food packaging, as Sealed Air focuses on higher-margin products, such as case-ready meat packaging. We expect improvement in protective and specialty sales in successive quarters as the global economy begins to recover.
As for gross margins, S&P expects them to widen sequentially from the second-quarter's 31.1% (33.1% a year ago), on pricing initiatives and stabilizing raw material costs -- especially if natural gas prices head lower. We expect EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins to exceed 20%, as $23 million in annual cost savings from restructuring efforts cuts selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses to a projected 16.5% of sales. That should outweigh the effects of higher insurance and health-care costs. By Stewart Scharf
Despite higher expected interest expense, with a lower effective tax rate of 36.5%, we project 2003 EPS at $2.43 (before a 24-cent net charge related to the preferred stock redemption), with a 15% gain expected in 2004, to $2.80.
On a per share basis, we project Standard & Poor's Core Earnings for 2003 to be virtually the same as our operating EPS estimate, given no stock-option expense and a 1 cent per share impact from pension adjustments. The same holds true for 2004, as we expect S&P Core EPS to match our $2.80 operating EPS projection.
We base our valuation on p-e-to-growth (PEG), average historical multiples, and discounted cash flow analysis. Although the stock recently traded at 17 times our 2004 EPS estimate, a modest premium to the projected p-e of the S&P 500 for the comparable year, this was well below its average historical p-e of 23-to-24 times earnings. Based on a PEG of 1.1, well below its peers, and a projected five-year earnings growth rate of 13%, above the growth rate seen for other packaging companies, we see significant upside potential.
On a discounted cash flow basis, our model indicates that the shares trade at a 19% discount to estimated intrinsic value. We have a 12-month target price of $56, or 20 times our 2004 EPS estimate.
Additionally, we see sound earnings quality in Sealed Air, with the company having virtually no stock option or pension expense. Although it has reached a settlement regarding its asbestos litigation related to W.R. Grace, a pending law for a private trust fund could lift the stock, in our estimation, as the company could be relieved of all or part of its payments of $512 million in cash and $321 million for 9 million common shares. After at least $125 million of projected capital expenditures, we anticipate 2003 free cash flow generation of $250 million to be used for possible debt reduction and acquisitions of companies in niche markets.
There are risks to our earnings growth assumptions and target price. These include: a potential rise in resin costs, especially low-density polyethylene, triggered by higher natural-gas prices, which were recently selling at twice historical averages; a deflationary economic environment or a slower-than-expected recovery; and a substantial weakening of foreign currencies, primarily the euro.

Lake Champlain Science Group To Get Study Money
10/07/11 5:50PM By Ross Sneyd
| Download MP3
(Host) A consortium of Vermont colleges headed by the University of Vermont has won a $20 million federal grant to study the Lake Champlain basin.
Researchers say one of the goals of the work is to help officials understand the implications of climate change - and to plan for it.
VPR's Ross Sneyd has more.
(Sneyd) UVM officials say they've never before been awarded so much money in a single grant like this. Interim President John Bramley announced the award from the National Science Foundation.
(Bramley) "This generous grant will allow the University of Vermont and its EPSCoR partners to use cutting edge science to ensure the future health of the Lake Champlain Basin."
(Sneyd) The money goes to EPSCoR - which is a research organization based at UVM and also includes Johnson State, Middlebury, St. Michael's and the Community College of Vermont.
EPSCoR has won previous grants that pulled together the reams of studies that have been done on Lake Champlain and its tributaries over the years.
UVM biology professor Judith Van Houten directs the research collaboration.
(VanHouten) "In the past what we did was to use the existing data sets ... to try to gather data on the watershed and the lake to understand its source of pollution and its problems."
(Sneyd) Van Houten says researchers will use the information they've compiled in the past and analyze it in ways that can help officials set policies that help to protect the lake.
For example, the state might alter some of its land-use regulations. Or a town official might ask the researchers to draw up a model to help them understand how a development might affect a stream that feeds the lake.
Van Houten says this kind of work isn't being done anywhere else in the country.
(VanHouten) "So what we're going to be is actually a little incubator, a little model system for what can be exported to the rest of the country and beyond."
(Sneyd) Scientists will test their theories against the real world by, among other things, placing sensors in streams and the lake to measure for chemicals, oxygen levels and other factors that determine the health of the entire basin.
Senator Patrick Leahy, who helped get the money for the project, says he was persuaded by the need because the climate is changing so swiftly. And he says the spring and fall floods that we've seen throughout the region prove the need.
(Leahy) "We've been humbled to learn that climate can and will have a dramatic effect on every aspect of our life in Vermont. Now we can do everything possible to reduce carbon emission. But we have to realize that climate change is upon us and unfortunately it's the sort that can accelerate."
(Sneyd) Leahy and the scientists say the new research can help Vermont better understand the effects of climate change - and adapt to those changes.
For VPR News, I'm Ross Sneyd

Pretty much. Make sure you leave them with eggs to make a new queen. If the main flow is eminent you can make your split with just one frame of brood and a frame of honey/pollen and give the queen drawn comb so she can keep laying.Most who use this system for better honey crops time the split to be three weeks before the flow.Scott
splits to make beeswithout sacrificing honeyproduction!
This may help you for next year. http://youtu.be/qIYz65Vquxg BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
If the queen is in the original box that was making swarm cells,they will still try to swarm most likely. I would have probably moved the old queen with brood and eggs and bees to the new box,simulating a swarm.
Thank you. I do have a hiVe with two brood boxes that is bubbling over. So correct me if I am wrong. I will take the frame with the queen along with frames of honey and brood along with frames with foundation and stick them in a deep. Put a lid on it and walk away. The hive with the old queen was in replace the frames spaces replace with frames and foundation and that's it. Correct?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Apple Inc won a round in its patent fight with Nokia on Friday as a U.S. trade panel judge ruled that the U.S. company did not violate any of five Nokia patents.
In its complaint, Nokia asked the trade panel to bar the importation of Apple devices that infringe Nokia patents, citing in particular the iPhone 3GS mobile phone and iPod Nano portable music player.
Judge James Gildea, of the International Trade Commission, which hears many patent cases, said in his initial determination that Apple did not violate the Nokia patents. The complaint had been filed in December 2009.
The next step will be for the entire commission to either uphold or throw out Gildea's decision. The target date for that decision is August 1, 2011.
In a separate decision on Friday, the ITC said it would review a judge's ruling that Research in Motion Ltd and Apple Inc did not infringe on Eastman Kodak Co patented technology. That final decision is expected in May.
Nokia said on Friday it was taking a wait-and-see attitude toward the ITC ruling in its fight with Apple.
"While Nokia does not agree with today's initial determination that there has been no violation, we'll wait to see the full details of the ruling before we decide on any next steps," said Nokia spokesman Mark Durrant.
The two companies are suing each other over patent issues in the United States and Europe. The ITC is popular because it can bar the import of infringing devices. Companion suits are often filed in U.S. district court to win financial damages. Continued...

Did they tell you they were going to cut it that way in the video?
I had no idea. I was really hoping they would show more of the boardslide. Because I definitely got further down it then it looks. I almost made it. It definitely tripped me out when I saw it with the "Can you do a handstand?" thing right after. You look back now though and I get what they went for. In retrospect, it was probably the right way to do it.
Was there more pressure to keep upping the danger level after Ban This?
It didn't feel like pressure.
Did you go pro before the Propaganda part?
Yeah. I remember putting the bulldog stickers on my shorts while we filmed (Laughs.)
Frankie's Bulldog graphic from his first Powell Peralta model ('90).
You didn't skate contests or anything right? Your video part kind of became it.
Yeah. That was how I validated anything I had. I would get super nervous before contests. All I had was those parts. I knew Propaganda was coming up. I believe Stacey left before that came out. But I did get the feeling I was running out of gas a little. I tried everything I could think of in Ban This.
Did you ever think of moving to LA?
I thought about it. Maybe LA or San Diego. Just to see a new set of spots outside Santa Barbara. (Continued on Page 7.)

FOCUS { Bring Art into the Workplace
Thursday, February 21, 2013 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Event Details
Join us on February 21 for FOCUS { Workplace + Art
FOCUS is a series of two-hour, hands-on workshops designed to help busy professionals implement real change in their organizations.
Use art to bring your meetings alive.
Meet Andrea and Kevin Orlosky and Art on Wheels
Art on Wheels brings comprehensive arts programming to communities with limited access to the arts. Founded in early 2007, Art on Wheels' mission is to bring comprehensive arts programming to communities with limited access to the arts. Our intent to make arts education accessible to all ages and abilities was derived from co-founders Andrea and Kevin Orlosky's personal, transformative and healing experiences in the arts. Their desire to broaden the scope of arts outreach to marginalized populations without access to services represents an innovative approach to arts programming thus far unseen in the region.
Welcome to FOCUS: Designed by Floricane's Sarah Milston to meet the practical needs of busy professionals, FOCUS is a monthly, two-hour workshop that will take participants through targeted (read: focused), tactical work that will help move organizations from ideas to action. Each session combines one hour of education and advice from local experts, followed by an hour of collaborative problem solving, case study exploration and in-the-moment, crowd-sourced advice. From web design to social media, from employee relations to volunteer management, FOCUS is built around a belief that deploying concrete, tangible actions make the difference in a competitive world. Each session will be capped at 50 participants to maximize the shared learning experience; we ask that organizations send no more than two people to each event.

Color categories can be assigned to messages, contacts, appointments, tasks, and so on, across Microsoft Outlook. Assigning color categories to messages enables you to quickly identify them and associate them with related items. You can assign more than one color category to messages or use a Quick Click category to click once and assign a color category to a message right in your Inbox.
Color adds visibility to your Outlook items. After you associate a color with a color category and then assign the color category to different yet related items, such as notes, contacts, meetings, and messages, the items are easier to identify and organize. The colors are displayed prominently, if you choose, in your Inbox as well as in your other Outlook views.
What do you want to do?
Assign a color category to a message
A color category must be listed in the color category list before you can assign it. If the color category is not listed, you can simultaneously create a new color category and assign it to an item for the first time. You can also choose from several default color categories and rename them to be more meaningful to you.
To assign a color category, do the following:
For a message in your Inbox or any message list Right-click the message, point to Categorize , and then click a color category.
For an open message On the Message tab, in the Options group, click Categorize , and then click a color category.
To see more categories or to create a new category, click All Categories to open the Color Categories dialog box. To assign a color category from the Color Categories dialog box, you must select the check box next to the color category. The Color Categories dialog box is also a quick way to assign multiple categories to an item.
The first time that you assign a default color category to an item, you will be prompted to rename the category. At this time, you can also change the color of the category and choose a keyboard shortcut.
You can change the color associated with a category at any time.
Another way to open the Categorize menu and Color Categories dialog box is by clicking Categorize on the toolbar.
Only the 15 most recently used color categories appear on the Categorize menu. To see the rest, click All Categories on the Categorize menu.
A new Categorized Mail search folder has been added to Search Folders in the Navigation Pane and provides a view of all your categorized mail items. Within this folder, you can sort and group the categorized items.
Assign a Quick Click category to a message
With a single click, you can assign a color category to an item in your Inbox or any message list by setting a default Quick Click category. This can be especially helpful if you focus on one main project or frequently categorize items as Important, Review Immediately, and so on.
Set a Quick Click category
On the toolbar, click Categorize , and then click Set Quick Click.
In the Set Quick Click dialog box, in the drop-down list, select a color category.
Tip: From an open message, you can click Set Quick Click on the Categorize menu to set the default color category for all future messages, not just the message that is currently selected.
Note: If you change the Quick Click category, it does not change the color category assigned to previously marked messages.
Assign a Quick Click category
In your Inbox, click the Categories column next to a message. This adds the color set for your Quick Click category to the column. If you open the message, the color and the name of the color category appear in the header.
Tip: A Quick Click category can be assigned to other Outlook items in the same manner when they are viewed in table views or in the To-Do Bar. Try this procedure with Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar appointments too.

text: I never thought it would come to this, but I am selling my 2012 STI Limited as I am back to graduate school and could quite frankly use the money to pay for school. Located in Syracuse NY. This car has no mod's to it, tint and mud flaps are the only things I had time and money to add on. Purchased from a Subaru dealer in 2013(they drove it up until then). Pictures will speak for themselves, and if you are looking at this vehicle while considering to buy then you most likely know what it comes with. Navigation, black leather interior, etc, etc.. It has 18,000 miles on it --> I put about 5k on it since I purchased it in March '13 because it has been stored for the winter to avoid the nasty salt up here. I do have a loan on it so we will have to arrange for a sale to take place via bank to release the lien on it for you. I am asking $32,750(it's worth more than 34,000) for it. Any questions...let me know. Email works best please. firstname.lastname@example.com

Online discount pharmacies really are a boon for many who want to make the very best use of internet as well as comforts. The fraudsters only want your credit card information to steal money. The medicinal virtues of roots tend to be found of their alkaloid content, which dissolves quite slowly into water. They work exactly like other personal savings accounts. A number of pharmacies always take a long time, even
cefuroxime and sudafed
if you are waiting.
If you do have a long term issue, and get exactly the same medication, week after week, Internet ordering could possibly be for you. Most technicians work as being a cashier or count pills that a pharmacist has dispensed. In regards to work locations, pharmacy technicians be employed in a clean, safe environment. Information regarding the exams might be obtained by contacting the average person certification institutes. These would be the only obvious reminders that Pharmacy Over the Rhine is an area still noted for high poverty and crime.
Qwikster (DVD rentals by mail) may also offer customers the opportunity to order favorite games for PS3, Wii and Xbox, however, Hasting highlights in his apology this will likely be an "upgrade" comparable to when they added the power for DVD customers
cefuroxime and sudafed
to order movies on Blu-ray. These are some of the best ways to distinguish the most professional Canadian pharmacy websites. A few states including Florida now acknowledge pharmacy technicians as professionals. Whether you're trying to find the dosage that works right for you or searching for a particular medicine that you simply were prescribed but is currently hard to find, a compounding pharmacy is where it is possible to find the correct help. Steeping in the closed jar keeps the water-soluble vitamins from escaping inside steam.
Until recently, I tended to become loyal to at least one particular drugstore chain, for no apparent reason other than that was the chain I had always used. Read on to acquire you started on the path to medical mastery. So instead of going derived from one of local drugstore to an alternative, they are able to just check these drugs online while at the office , if they get home after their shift or following they've visited their physicians. Then this new doctor says all of the wrong things for the patient, and this results inside the patient

becoming angry or dissatisfied using visit. You can also check out pharmacy technician certification over the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and the
cefuroxime and sudafed
Institute for Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (see links below).
These measurements will be used as bases for developing a treatment program for the patient. If your physician wants to test you (for anything), request a written listing of what tests need to get done. The means of buying medicine through on the web is also very simple. For instance, you might use low estrogen birth control pills, such as Alesse, Fe, Yasmin, Loestrin and others available with any discount pharmacy or women's online pharmacy. There was obviously a time within this country when women cannot buy simple contraceptive measures in the counter.

This morning, the credit rating agency Moody's downgraded 12 UK banks and building societies. Understandably, people have been asking whether this means that these financial institutions are unsafe, and whether the overall credit rating for the UK is in danger - even though S&P, another credit rating agency, affirmed the UK's AAA rating only two days ago.
The statement from Moody's makes it clear that the reason for the downgrade is the expectation of less support from government for these financial institutions:
"...announcements made, as well as actions already taken by UK authorities have significantly reduced the predictability of support over the medium to long-term."
Moody's still expect some support from government for the large systemically-important banks such as Lloyds TSB and RBS, although they believe that even this may be withdrawn in the medium to long-term, so the ratings for these banks are on negative watch. But their view is that smaller institutions such as the Co-op Bank and smaller building societies would simply be allowed to fail in a crisis. I am slightly surprised by the two-notch downgrade of RBS, since it is 84% government-owned. Would the government really fail to provide support to a bank in which it has a controlling interest?
The driver for this downgrade must surely be the Independent Commission on Banking's report. As I've commented in a previous post, the aim of the recommendations in this report is to allow banks to fail safely. Personally I think that the recommendations actually fall short of meeting this objective. But the fact that the government has accepted those recommendations is a clear signal that support for banks can no longer be taken for granted. A further consideration would be the fact that the Government allowed Southsea Bank to fail in June 2011.
It is quite wrong to view this downgrade as in any way reflecting on the viability of these financial institutions. In fact even the term "downgrade" is misleading. What Moody's has done is assess the commercial creditworthiness of these institutions in the absence (or reduced level) of government support and assign an appropriate rating. It's an adjustment to a more realistic level, not a downgrade as such. It does not indicate any danger to these institutions - in fact their new commercial ratings are generally pretty good. Nor is there any danger to small depositors: deposits in all financial institutions are insured by the FSCS up to £85K.
What this adjustment will do, however, is raise the cost of capital and funding for these banks, which may find its way through into higher fees and charges, and possibly higher interest rates on lending. Not especially good news for bank customers.
Finally, this adjustment in no way reflects on the creditworthiness of the UK itself. In fact as Moody's now clearly believes the UK government is quite happy to throw smaller banks and building societies to the wolves instead of bailing them out, and may think twice before throwing money at larger banks too, it may be more willing to maintain the UK's AAA rating.

Downgrade, what downgrade?
1 comment:
I think that the Government would need to be very, very careful in offering RBS any support that it would not offer to an equivalent bank in which they did not own a stake. The whole banking support fiasco has been dodging carefully around EU government support rules and other legal interference.ReplyDelete
Admittedly, the rest of the EU are likely to want to keep their freedom of movement as broad as possible until this all dies its eventual death, so we are unlikely to see much banging of war drums from the Commission.
Perhaps Moody's are just reacting to Hester's announcement of even more bad trading conditions earlier in the week.

I have three badges. One is a star with the Missouri state seal. It is pinned to a cowgirl doll. One is a brass star that says "Texas Ranger". It is displayed with a large set of "jail" keys. They look great together. The third I carry in my wallet...it is my small Firefighter/Paramedic badge with a star of life in the middle issued by the department I worked for. I carry it as a reminder of younger days at a job I loved. All of these would have the same importance when it comes to CC.
