"These are really bright and colorful! WIll be a nice way to liven up plain paper on an envelope! They are really cute and fun, something different!"
"I have gotten positive feedback from all our family members who received our cards with our address labels attached! Everyone has thought they were so adorable. I customized this design with my own favorite font & it came out looking so good. I loved that one balloon was "male" & one was "female" so as to represent my husband and I. The top hat and mustache on the male balloon is such a cute and trendy touch. Thanks for the great design tinyprints! I love that I found these address labels that really personify mine & my hubby's style!"
"I used an awesome daily deal that was emailed to me to try out the address labels and much to my suprise Tiny Prints had hundreds of adorable designs to choose from!! I picked out two and the amazing deal I got on them cannot be beat. I came back a week after I received my address labels and ordered some personalized note cards that I also got a wonderful "daily deal" on! Plus I love the emailed updates on my orders :) and very fast shipping! thanks TP!"

HISS and a ROAR releases Rivers and Streams
HISS and a ROAR has announced the release of the Rivers and Streams sound fx library.
During my 2 month road trip down south recording LAKES I also recorded a lot of RIVER ambiences, and ever since have continued to search for streams and creeks, all with the aim of creating an ambience library which is able to scale: from a trickle to a roar…
The results? 8GB of 24 bit 96kHz rivers & streams!
Recorded with my favourite multi-microphone rig (Sennheiser MKH8040 ORTF pair, MKH70 pair and DPA 4060 omni pair) this library is perfect for layering, cutting perspectives and creating complex composite ambiences…
The sample pack is available for purchase for the introductory price of $33 USD until June 7th, 2014 (regular $49 USD).

This is going to sound like a bit of a rant, but it's a genuine problem. could anyone tell ?
web developers : the one who develop/code/program websites
web designers : the one who design/layout websites
= Web Development
There are more difference between web developer and web designer. Web developer create code for process the working on web site and web designer create design and layout of the web site. But both are link to each other.
web developers = develop website functionality (back-end etc) web designers = design websites and develop the structure of the pages (front-end development). Some web designers know more code, some less but they have a better eye for design.
I think the UX design hybrid is becoming more common, someone who can design on a higher level than just gfx and develop at least front end programming and some backend.
Web designer = front end developer. Everything that renders is browser.
Web developer = back end developer. Everything that's done on server. Roughly.
Web designer = Gin Tonic
Web developer = Beers
lol them I'm a gin-tonic-beer, sounds awful
Hello friends,
Web developer and web designer are not same. main difference is that web designer creates web pages by using picture, videos etc. but web developer make code to create action or process the site.

I got identical garbage in 4.1 and 5.1. Which is as I would expect,
because the code is attempting numerical algorithms on nonumerical data.
Even with values for the parameters noted, it is not clear what fnax
should be. (Moral: Post the code you actually used.)
Here is a way to do this that might be what you have in mind. It gives
the same numerical result in both versions.
{c,x,r,v,z} = Table[Random[Integer,{1,100}], {5}];
len = Sqrt[z^2 + (x*Cos[ang] + r*Sin[b])^2 +
(-r*Cos[b] - x*Sin[ang])^2];
integrand[ang_?NumberQ] := b /. FindRoot[len == c*b*r/v, {b,0},
WorkingPrecision->100, AccuracyGoal->80]
NIntegrate[integrand[ang], {ang,0,3*Pi/2,2*Pi},
WorkingPrecision->80, AccuracyGoal->9]
Depending on parameter values and other considerations you may be able
to dispense with or at least weaken the precision and accuracy requirements.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican underlined its opposition to gay adoption on Sunday as same-sex marriage supporters staged a topless protest in front of the pope in St. Peter's Square.
The Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano published a response to an Italian court's rejection of an appeal by a father who feared his son would not have a balanced upbringing if he lived with his mother and her female partner.
The Court of Cassation ruled it was "mere prejudice" to assume that living with a homosexual couple could be detrimental for a child's development.
While gay rights group Arcigay called it a "historic ruling" for Italy, where it is illegal for gay couples to adopt, Catholic leaders were quick to defend the traditional family unit.
L'Osservatore Romano, the 151-year-old mouthpiece of the Holy See, ran an editorial that sought to play down the court ruling, saying that children often grow up in difficult circumstances without a mother or father.
"But no one believes that these situations should be created just because in some cases they don't cause damage," wrote Adriano Pessina, director of bioethics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.
"The human is the masculine and the feminine ... the monogamous family is the ideal place to learn the meaning of human relations and is the environment where the best form of growth is possible," he wrote.
He reaffirmed the Vatican's view that no one has the "right" to children that he said gay couples who want to adopt are claiming. Continued...

Getting Started
After you get your user name and password, E-Verify will automatically require you to view a tutorial and pass a quiz. There are additional webinars that can be viewed as well. If you would still like additional training, contact the Payroll Client Service and Training Team.
GCA will flag the budget in FIN as an E-Verify budget. OPUS will tag the budget in the distribution line with a "y" and add "E-Verify" by the name of the employee and on the budget column. Note: Employees that have come from other UW departments may have already been E-Verified. Go to the Overview screen in OPUS and click Employee Info. If the employee has already been E-Verified, a red "yes" will appear on the E-Verify line in the bottom right quadrant. The department should not E-Verify the employee again.
Initating an E-Verify
- Employee's name
- Date of birth
- Social Security number
- Citizenship status employee attests to
- A# or I-94# if applicable
- Document type(s) submitted for Form I-9
- Expiration dates for identification and eligibility documents
E-Verify Best Practices and Timeline
- Employees can only be E-Verified once. Check the OPUS Overview under the Employee Info tab to verify that the employee has not been previously E-Verified.
- Contact the employee to bring the original documents in person to complete the I-9 as soon as the department is notified by the Office of Sponsored Projects of the E-Verify budget.
- Forward the original I-9, E-Verify report, and copy of the list A document (if applicable) to the Payroll Office via campus mail.
- Departments must work together to complete the I-9 and E-Verify report.
- Remote employees are still required to complete the E-Verify process if paid from an E-Verify budget.
Use the E-Verify Process Owner link for an understanding of each role in the E-Verify process.
Use the E-Verify Contact link for a list of those involved from central offices in the E-Verify process.

WASHINGTON -- Americans for George, a pro-dollar bill lobbying organization, has apparently shut down operations after making a big splash in the nation's capital back in March.
AFG's spokesman has been released, its website is dark and its Twitter account has been closed, according to a story on the news website Politico.
A rival lobbying group, the Dollar Coin Alliance, remains active. A DCA spokesman speculated that Americans for George might also have been reluctant to be exposed as representing the special interest of a single major member. Politico suggested that the website blackout might be a cost-cutting move.
Dalton, MA-based Crane & Co., the sole supplier of cotton-based paper for U.S. banknotes, was allegedly the main source of funds for the pro-dollar bill group.
Several relevant bills are currently circulating in Congress. Some would eliminate the dollar bill in favor of dollar coins, while others would implement the opposite policy. | Visit vendingtimes.com.

Okay, so since this is my first entry, I thought I'd let you all know right now that I'm writing as myself (Carter's Mama, also known as Kaona). I would just feel awkward trying to write as if I am Carter. I know many of you do that for your dog's blogs and it's cute and fine with me, I'm just saying that's not how I want to do it :) No disrespect!
I didn't know exactly when I'd first brought Carter home for a long time. I knew it was sometime in July of 2011, somewhere around the beginning or early middle. I might be a bad mama, but I was so excited that I was getting Carter and running around to buying doggy supplies, and once I got him, buying more supplies than he needed! I was just so excited and wasn't thinking, in my excitement it didn't occur to me to mark down the date that I brought him home with me. But tonight I had an idea. A lot of people complain about the new Facebook timeline, but I went on it to look through July of 2011 tonight, since I remembered posting pictures of Carter on Facebook as soon as I got him. Sure enough, two pictures from July 6th! So now I know when I brought him home :)
I feel guilty though, because I don't know when his birthday is. The person I sort of 'rescued' him from (she abused him... my poor little guy) told me when I got him that he was somewhere between 5 and 6 months probably. So I guess I'll just 'give' him a birthday sometime in December or January, but it'll take forever for me to decide. I wish I knew when his birthday was, then I could look at the cute little doggy zodiac things :P
Anyway, the main point of this post is that I want to plan some sort of adoption day (though it wasn't an 'official adoption', of course) celebration for Carter. I'm not sure what I should do, because if I try to get anyone else I know with dogs to come for a little pup party, they'll think I'm crazy and roll their eyes. I guess I'll just make a nice cake for him... I'll be sure to take pictures! And I'll sing some lame song to him or something, and take pictures of him with the cake and of him eating the cake, and give him even more love than he usually gets (which is a lot!) on that day.
So I need to find a really good recipe for doggy cake. And I want to be able to write something on it with some sort of makeshift icing, I don't want to use the type of icing we use because of all that sugar! I wonder what exactly I should write on the cake. Any ideas? :) Any doggy cake suggestions would also be greatly appreciated, but in the mean time, I'm off to search the internet for some!

NFL star Donald Driver's continued success on Dancing With the Stars hasn't been fun for plumber Jeff Paschke in the town of Egg Harbor, Wis., about 60 miles from Green Bay.
Vote: Who should win?
His phone number – minus the 800 area code – matches the toll-free phone number viewers use to vote for the Green Bay Packer wide receiver on the show, reports the Door County Advocate.
The number has been assigned to several DWTS contestants over the years, but in the past, Paschke said, contestants were not from the area. He says he only received a few misdirected calls for Kirstie Alley, who was on in a previous season.
And this season, in Week 1, there was no problem. Paschke's phone didn't ring. "Then I had 54 people calling and I thought, 'Well, he may not last,' so why make a big deal out of this," he says.
But this week, after Monday's performance show - which has sent Driver to next week's semifinals -- he fielded 150 wrong calls.
Does he bother to answer the phone? "Usually I do answer," he said. "I say 'hello' and tell them to dial 800."

North Carolina's Kristin Aloi, Michelle Ikoma and Taylor Brown have been named to the 2012 Arthur Ashe Sports Scholar Roster. A total of just 14 gymnasts were honored from across the country and UNC represented three of the 14 student-athletes.
For Taylor, it is the second consecutive season she has been honored as an Arthur Ashe award winner. A native of Durham, N.C., Brown recently completed her senior season at UNC. She competed in all 11 events, primarily on vault and floor exercise. She scored a season-high 9.825 on the vault at the EAGL Championships.
Ikoma, a native of Naperville, Ill., returned to the Tar Heels' lineup in 2012 after missing the 2011 season with an Achilles' injury. She was part of the vault rotation and posted a season-best 9.75 on floor vs. Maryland.
A rising junior from Winston-Salem, N.C., Aloi captured individual championships on the vault and floor exercise against George Washington. She posted a season-high 9.875 on the floor against the Colonials and a 9.800 on vault in meets vs. George Washington and Ohio State.
Diverse: Issues in Higher Education sponsors the Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholar Awards to honor undergraduate students who have excelled in the classroom as well as on the athletic field. Inspired by tennis legend Arthur Ashe, Jr.'s commitment to education as well as his love for the game of tennis, U.S. colleges and universities are invited to participate in this annual awards program by nominating their outstanding sports scholars. In addition to their athletic ability and academic performance, Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars demonstrate a commitment to community service and community activism.
To be considered, students must compete in an intercollegiate sport, maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.2, and be active on their campuses or in their communities. In 1992, Black Issues In Higher Education magazine, now Diverse, established the Sports Scholar Awards to honor undergraduate students of color who exemplify the standards set by tennis great Arthur Ashe Jr.

I'd suggest bringing the B&W's home first (while keeping the Klipsch) and doing a side by side.
For my money, it's a no brainer... I'm in Kamp Klipsch. Went to a B&W dealer and heard some of their offerings in a HT setup. Sounded fine, no real problem with the sound.
Personally I feel my Klipsch setup is more dynamic and "larger" in sound (note I'm not saying more loud)
Aside from that, they had the B&W powered with McIntosh which means that system cost a fortune. My wife & I were standing there and I elbowed her while nodding towards the power meters. They were cruising around 50 watts.
If my two speakers hit 10 watts it will likely force you out of the room from the scale of sound.
Point? I can get by with far less electronics than the B&W's so the net cost per sound (as if that is a measurement that really exists!!) is lower with the Klipsch.
Get the B&W's, try them... and sell whatever you don't like. I for one find it difficult to go from a very very dynamic speaker to a lessor dynamic speaker. Then again, maybe that's just me.
I heard upscale B&W speakers, and they sounded great for music, and a very non fatiguing sound. I haven't heard
the 683's, but if you are interested (obviously) take a pair home and give them a listen. I you like them better,
then sell the Chorus, which should be an easy sell. Just my opinion,

Guest (re)post by Sharon Breitweiser, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wyoming:
Talk about a blast from the past… President Bush is at it again, this time in my own backyard. I swear, nothing this administration does surprises me anymore, yet somehow I was still shocked when I heard the latest news.
It turns out that earlier this week, with the blessing of anti-choice Sens. Craig Thomas (R-WY) and Mike Enzi (R-WY), President Bush nominated Rock Springs lawyer Richard Honaker for a federal judgeship in Wyoming.
And, boy, do I know Richard Honaker…
In my boxes of files from past legislative sessions, elections, and legal battles, I found example after example of Honaker's blatant anti-choice bias. Yet he seems to consider his anti-choice record to be mere youthful exuberance. The man who once led an effort to outlaw abortion in Wyoming is now trying to downplay his own radical agenda."As a state legislator,"he now says,"I took positions on a lot of legislative issues and public policy issues, and one of them was on the abortion issue. That was my role at that time…But my role as a judge would be far different."In other words: Don't worry your pretty little head, I'm going to change my anti-choice ways. Riiiight.
Not surprisingly, the leader of Wyoming Right to Life, Steven Ertelt, is giving Bush a gold medal for the Honaker nomination, as evidenced by this statement:"Because of his pro-life views and past efforts to protect human life, it's obvious that Richard Honaker joins with attorneys on both side of the abortion debate who understand that Roe v. Wade was an example of unadulterated judicial activism and that the role of the courts to is interpret the law — not make it up as you go."
So, Richard Honaker receives kudos from two extreme anti-choice senators and a radical anti-choice group, and there are countless documents exposing his leadership in efforts to outlaw abortion. Nope – no anti-choice bias here!

I need to re-run some wires for a pair of lights on a stairwell. I cannot run new wires to the lights themselves, as they are in a finished portion of the house. However, I have access to the switches, and to the runs between the switches.
Will the wiring in the picture work AND meet code?
Yes, it looks fine.
Thanks! I was racking my brain earlier trying to figure out an "easy" way to make this work without having to run a gazillion feet of wire.
Pigtail those two wires for the lights on the left hand switch. Don't put the two of them under the switch screw.

Hey, great idea, National CCW License. Let's see who should write it up? I know who. The same guys that write up most of the other stuff in Congress, the guys and gals from Illinois, NYC, California and Washington, D.C. They could draft it based on their experience with gun permits in their states! I know they would protect our 2dA rights, just like they do for the home folks.
If you want the same no permit for average citizens type permits that they have in those states, go for a National Permit. They will be the power brokers in Congress and they will draft the bill!
Leave permits to the states. I can always move to another state, leaving the country is not so appealing.
To the original poster, YOU Sir, are part of the problem. There should be no requirement that we need a permit to perform and act that is guaranteed to us in our Constitution.
I'm sorry that you feel that the Government, the same organization that couldn't get water to the Super Dome for 5 days after Katrina, the same organization that has screwed up nearly every single thing it has gotten a hold of, is in some way needed to deem who is worthy of being ALLOWED to exercise a GOD given RIGHT. I really am sorry that you believe this because it demonstrates how deeply the vein of thought goes that believes that we need the government to look out for us. We do not. The government is in every instance a hindrance to the exercise of freedom by the citizens.
Every citizen, no matter what you feel about them, has the right under the 2nd Amendment to own and carry (keep and bear) arms. And reading the Federalist Papers, it is very, very clear that the 2nd was written as it was to ensure that the citizens of the country have right to own and carry the same weapons that the standing Army has so that the citizens would be on an equal footing with the standing Army if the need should ever arise to repel an attack by it.
The 2nd Amendment mentions nothing about any training requirement nor any cost or fee needed to pay to exercise a God given RIGHT.
The Federal government needs, and in fact, is there for one purpose. The common defense of the country. The States are supposed to have the responsibility of regulating commerce and passing laws for its citizens. The Federal government should have no say in your life. So in that respect, I can see a state requiring a permit to carry inside the borders of the state.
The older I get, the less my permit to carry is a badge of honor and more a thorn in my side.
We've had a national permit since the Bill of Rights was signed. Little by little we've allowed those in power to limit it, and if the trend isn't reversed, what's happened to our brothers in the UK and Australia could very easily happen here. Could even happen in our lifetime.
The less goverment involvement we have in our lives the better. Therefore I cannot support a national CCW permit.
Ok, I'm gonna go take off my tinfoil hat now.
Nationalizing anything, especially these days, is not good in my book! :frown:
Probably a better way is to somehow lobby your own state to work on its reciprocal agreements. I know Virginia's has improved somewhat over the past several years but they could still get better. I'm guessing letters to your state's Attorney General and State Senators is what's needed. Fortunately we just elected a good Pro-2nd Amendment Attorney General here in Virginia: Ken Cucinelli!
From his page:
I've worked for the repeal of unreasonable restrictions on concealed carry permit holders in restaurants and for reciprocity between states that issue concealed carry permits.
But you know, as well as I do, if training is not mandated, many people will not get it, and may be a danger to themselves and others. Let's try a straw poll:Quote:
The idea is not to minimize or do away with the need for training but rather to not have a situation where the fed sets mandates and controls as conditions for obtaining your carry permit.
For those of you who took a required course to carry a concealed weapon...how many of you would have taken the course if it had NOT been required?
For the record: I am NOT in favor of federal involvement in my guns. I AM in favor of mandating safe gun handling and proper legal use. How? That IS a big can of worms, as we all can see by this thread.
In fact, there is one place the law needs to be relaxed. In states where there is a waiting period to buy or carry a gun: if someone has taken out a restraining order against another person (i.e., a domestic dispute/stalking situation), they should be automatically/instantly approved for a handgun.
Wow, a lot of posts rather quickly.
I did not mean to look like I was stirring up the pot.
I agree with you, I do not want the feds getting involved in state's rights, or a persons rights. The spirit of what I was suggesting was a National Permit that would actually be good for us (I know, cold frosty day when the Feds do something for the good of the people, yet we got/getting back carry in National Parks - Federally owned property universally recognized as no carry zones).
:yup: one can only wish for such a sensible arrangement. I'm thinkin there's to many goofballs in office to allow it, or even give it a chance.Quote:
If we had a state-wide receprocity agreement with all states participating, then we wouldn't need a National Concealed Permit Recognition thing from the Gov't.
My fear is that we end up with an invalidation of the state permit and the national one ends up like say Maryland. A may issue permit that never gets issued to us mere citizens.
The state by state system is not perfect, but my Florida permit is valid in 28-30 states (too lazy to look it up) and for now that works for me. Not to mention it is much improved over the last 3-5 years.
Besides, it is also a big government issue. Most of us on here are for smaller government. Creating a NEW agency is not exactly making for smaller government and as others have said, watch how job creep has helped social security, the IRS, welfare...
No thanks. This system isn't that broken. And for those in socialist states. Work on fixing your own state. The rest of us in free (freer) states will help as we can but "fixing" it at the national level isn't the answer.
I'm always a bit taken aback by those who claim to be "rabid supporter(s) of 2A rights" while at the same time arguing for increased restrictions, suggesting that some states are handing out concealed carry permits to, well . . . anybody. Their claim that mandatory fees and training are necessary for "safety" is just as spurious as other gun control arguments, not backed up by any legitimate rationale, just trying to sound "reasonable".
Respectfully, as far as the "Gold standard" for states that issue. The way I see it. I'd say that any state that requires it's citizens to qualify and jump through hoops for there 2nd amendment right to become valid is not what I would consider the "Gold Standard". With some of the statements associated with the "gold standard" it's about the same as profiling IMO. Someone would have to prove their abilities and intellectual competence with a firearm before they have the right to self defense.:confused:
I liken the 2nd amendment right to bear arms to the judicial slogan "Innocent until proven guilty". If its good enough for the American court system, why shouldn't it be good enough for the 2nd amendment right to bear arms too. IMO, there's only one entity that I feel the need to prove my worthiness to, and it's not a state or federal government. JMO. :bier:
Anything that Washington sticks its collective nose into causes pain for the common man ie.. more regulation, a national database for politicians to abuse, etc. I'd like my name on fewer governmental lists not more. States recognizing each others CCW would be much better, I think. It wont happen because of $$$ states want the revenue of issuing their own permits whether res or non res.
Just my 2 cents
Let's look at this from a different perspective. Let's say you have a person who has absolutely no firearms training. No safety, tactical, legal, or any form of training whatsoever.
Using the above described person as an example, they still have a God-given right to defend their lives and the lives of their loved ones, regardless of whether they've met anyone else's "standards" or not.
Don't get me wrong; I'm fully in favor of everyone gaining as much knowledge as possible where firearms are concerned. But here's the rub... if certain individuals within the federal government are allowed to set the "acceptable standard" for who can or cannot exercise the right to keep and bear arms, then God help us all. I could easily see it becoming like jumping through hoops to be "allowed" to carry and if this were under the federal umbrella, then it would apply everywhere.
This is the reason I consider myself a libertarian (The "little 'L' kind; I'm not a party member). We believe in a simple concept: freedom with responsibility. This is the way the Founding Fathers meant for it to be and it's the principle that made this country great. Everyone enjoys their rights but at the same time, they're responsible for their use of said rights.

DISH Network Complied with the Court-Appointed Special Master's Examination of Its Compliance with the Section 119 Statutory License
GAO-13-169R: Published: Dec 12, 2012. Publicly Released: Dec 12, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2834
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO found that DISH complied with the Special Master's examination. DISH provided the Special Master with information on its subscribers and royalty payments, and cooperated on a survey of all major network-affiliated broadcast stations nationwide. Since our March 23, 2012, report, the Special Master issued a report noting that there was no substantial evidence of improprieties by DISH regarding the Section 119 statutory license.
Why GAO Did This Study
This report responds to the requirement, enacted in the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA), mandating that the Comptroller General monitor and periodically report on the degree to which DISH Network (DISH) was complying with the Special Master's examination of its compliance with the royalty payment and household eligibility requirements of the Section 119 statutory license. On March 23, 2012, we issued our first report on this subject; at the time, we found that DISH was complying with the Special Master's examination. In this report, our second and final report on this subject, we address DISH's compliance through the completion of the Special Master's examination.

2001 740i bluetooth
just bought a great 01 740i with 102k
does anyone know how to install bluetooth so i can use my samsung gravity through the speakers.
let me know where i can get this.
This is a link to a Bluetooth retrofit kit. It isn't cheap but it does come with more than you think. If you purchase this kit it also comes with voice recognition to control just about everything from navigation to your phone. Also make sure to email them to see if your phone is compatible.
I think i might get that from bimmer nav. I had looked at it before myself and it's pretty up to date. Also want a DVD unit. I guess that's expensive if you aren't used to direct plug in units. Most are up in price. Worth it if you are going to keep the car for a while.
has your car been reliable?
any major issues with it?
how many miles do you drive a year?
its about 17000 miles. previous owner installed a new water pump and intake manifold form what i can see. the navigation unit had to be replaced because the previous owner jump started the car wrong.
the only thing i've replaced were radiator hoses and spark plugs. its a great daily driver. it does however need new window regulators. thats the only thing i dont like about it.
a nice set of large tasteful wheels make one of these look awesome.
as far as parts, a lot of them are less costly than 6 cylinder models.

Craftsman Trimmermodel #358791072
Questions & Answers about this model powered by
sears weedeater sim pul 32cc model 358791072
very hard to start when it does start and you squeeze the triger it conks out. i also see air bubbles in the fuel line.
Posted September 13, 2011
Priscilla V, September 13, 2011
i know how important it is to have a good working weedeater in your home so that you can keep your grass maintained. while you are waiting for an expert answer, i did manage to find a link that will provide you with some good information about what may be causing your problem.
Mark T , September 14, 2011
thank you for your question.
i am sorry you are having a problem with the trimmer. if the fuel mixture in the trimmer is older than 5 weeks old, it should be drained. then refill with fresh fuel mix. if this does not help i suspect there is a problem with the fuel system. i recommend checking in the fuel tank first. when you look in the tank, you should see a fuel line with a white filter attached to the end. then inspect the fuel line. if it is hard and brittle, it has to be replaced. here is a video that shows how to replace the fuel line. if the fuel line is fine, i suspect the carburetor is to blame. the carburetor will have to be cleaned or replaced. here is a video that show how to clean the carburetor. before you remove the carburetor, make sure to note the fuel line and cable connections. this will save a lot of frustration later.
here is a link to order any parts you need. sears parts direct .
i hope this helpful. if you need further assistance, please reply below with more details.
if you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired by a sears technician. here is a link that will provide the nearest drop-off locations: sears home services .
thank you for using manage my life.

Tried replacing doorbell....now it doesn't work.
My doorbell was working fine, but I wanted to change out the cheap switch to a nicer stain nickel switch.
So as I'm installing the new switch, it is the kind where the button lights up. The light kept going on and off. I couldn't get the light to stay on for any long period of time. I did have the light on for a few seconds and was able to push the button and the doorbell range. After awhile, the light would no longer come on and the doorbell wouldn't work.
I can touch the two wires together and the bell doesn't ring, which means it has nothing to do with the switch. I have no idea where the transformer is that down grades it down to 12v.
Anybody have any ideas? I checked the circuit breaker and all the circuits were on. The porch light and entry light work fine.
I'd start by tracking down the transformer. Is it next to the breaker panel? If not, look for some small low voltage wiring in the basement if you can.
You could also put a meter on the door bell and make sure it's a power issue.
I don't have a basement and nothing is outside of the breaker box. I'm guessing the transformer is somewhere in the attic. I looked at the chime in the hallway but didn't notice anything there except the two wires that go out to the switch.
I wish I could test the wires, but I don't have a meter. Any "trick" way to test them?
Is it common for the transformer to blow? Can a switch that lights up be more than the transformer could handle? I have no idea.....just throwing out ideas.
I'd go get a meter. I bet you could probably get one for under $20 at sears, for something simple like this you don't need an expensive Fluke.
If you find the transformer, you'll need a meter to see if it's work as well.
I'm not sure how the whole doorbell setup works either. Does anyone know if they have built in transformers?
If the old switch was not lighted then light could have caused the problem.
Yeah, the old switch was the cheap construction grade kind. The new switch is a nicer switch with a light up button. I already threw the old switch away a few days ago because I was expecting this to be a very easy job.
I've done some research on this and see how everything works together, but I haven't been able to find if there are different size transformers. If I have a transformer that puts out 10v and this lighted switch needs 12v to work, will it blow the 10v transformer?
I don't think it would 'blow the transformer' However the difference in voltage may be a problem. You really need to find that transformer.
Do you have a crawl space underneath your house? Sometimes they are installed there, good luck finding the transformer. Definately sounds like the transformer went bad since touching the wires together does nothing. If worse comes to worse you can always buy a remote battery powered doorbell kit. The chime is powered off a 9volt battery I believe, although you might not be able to get a doorbell that lights up. Best of luck
Oh by the way did you get a new chime kit with the new doorbell?
Nope, no crawl space. I have a slab foundation.
I just bought the replacement switch for cosmetic reasons. I didn't even know the button would light up until I started to wire it in. Never said on the package.
I went up in the attic to see if I could find it, but I couldn't. Everything in that area is covered in insulation and I wasn't wearing the right clothes to go digging through it.
I still haven't been able to find out if it's common for these transformers to go out when "upgrading" the system. I'm sure the doorbell system they installed was probably the cheapest one they could find when they built the house in 1997. Would the new lighted switch "blow" the transformer?
I called a friend of mine and he told me to look in the water heater closet in the garage and I found it there. Now I just need to test the wires and see what the problem is.
Thanks guys.

Have you ever wanted to meet your doppelgänger, the person who supposedly looks just like you? I'm not convinced I have one, though a number of friends once told me that some guy in college looked just like mefrom behind. How about meeting someone who shares your first and last names? That seems more likely, though my own names might be hard to match.
It turns out that quite a few people from San Joaquin County have shared names with celebrities. My friend and former colleague, Ed Wittmayer, made this discovery last year while arranging and scanning a collection of the Museum's photographs.
The nature of Ed's discoveries varied widely. From the world of sports, he found photographs of San Joaquin County residents named Pete Rose and Jerry Jones. Military and political names you might recognize included Robert Lee and Ted Kennedy. The largest number of celebrity names came from show business. Included among them were Willie Nelson, Dick Gregory, Jerry Lewis, and Gary Cooper. Ed even discovered someone from San Joaquin County named Charles Brown. I can't help wondering whether Brown's circle of friends included Lucy, Schroeder, and Snoopy.
Other, non-celebrity names caught Ed's eye, too. I couldn't stop laughing when he shared with me the name of a woman from San Joaquin County who married "Mr. Wright." I truly hope they lived happily ever afterjust like the man who married "Miss Wright." Shouldn't we all be so lucky choosing our own mates?
These and hundreds of other pictures come from a collection created by Ed Ehrhardt, a longtime Lodi resident and police officer. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Ehrhardt ran a photography business off duty that specialized in weddings, confirmations, and passport preparation. His children generously gave much of his collection to the San Joaquin County Historical Museum after his death, and there it remains.

I comb it through with a wide-toothed comb, then scrunch the curl back in.
I do what Suzen does with one added step after I scrunch back in the curl to help with my underside. When I stand back up, I run my fingers up from the bottom just on the underside/back of my hair on each side. Kinda like an "underneath rake". It helps elongate my back waves/curls a bit but doesn't pull them out completely as my hair begins curling on it's own pretty quickly.
After previewing that, it almost sounds like I'm defeating the whole method
. My hair tends to clump in the back/underside, so doing that last step helps prevent that somewhat but doesn't lessen my curls.

- Before & After
can vena saphena magna and parva be ablated in one procedure? Or do they need to be treated separately?
I am not sure of your terminology. The Great, or greater or large saphenous
vein runs from ankle to groin. The small or lesser saphenous vein runs from
the ankle to the back of the knee. If this is what you mean then yes they
can be treated together although because of intersaphenous connections
occasionally treating the great saphenous vein can normalize flow in the
small saphenous vein.
Bruce R Hoyle MD
Theoretically, yes, but it is difficult to position and prep to have it done at one sitting. Therefore, most physicians treat them at different sittings.
You must a in the medical field and coming from Europe. Technically they could be done in one procedure. Few problems are that amount of lidocaine that might be needed for the 2 ablation might exceed the safety limits. Another consideration is that to ablate the great saphenous ("saphena magna") the patient is supine on the table and for the small saphenous vein ("saphena parva") needs to be prone (on the belly), that creates the need to re-preap the legs in many instances.
Rodolfo D. Farhy, MD, FACC, FAHA
Both can be ablated in one procedure, but I always do them separately for several reasons- 1. The greater is done supine and the lesser prone. It is technically much easier and quicker to do each separately. 2. Much less tumescent anesthesia is used with either procedure alone. 3. Since the procedures are done with local anesthesia, they are better tolerated as separate procedures rather than combined. 4. If microphlebectomies are added to the procedure, then it becomes too involved to do all together. Having said this, I do occasionally make exceptions depending on circumstances.

3 Step Hosting
Here is a walkthough that will help users configure there router so they will be able to host games.
The Example setup:
PC- Vista Ultimate
Router - D-Link Gamers Lounge DGL 4300
Game - Counter-Strike: Source
*This will apply to any router that uses Virtual Server under Advanced network or similar.*
Step 1:
First you will need to enter your routers web management interface. Via a web browser by typing in the routers IP address, Internet explorer or Firefox ect...
For D-link the most common address is 192.168.0.1 (http://192.168.0.1)
others examples could be 10.10.10.1 or 192.168.1.0
Step 2:
You will then get to the login page where (if prompted) you need to enter a user name and password. By Default many use Username: Admin , Password: Admin or is left blank. You will need to consult your routers manual to find the correct details.
Step 3:
Navigate your way to Virtual server, In D-Link its under Advance settings.
You will then need to enter some details. You will need to do it twice.
Name: CCS Server1 (can be named anything)
IP Address: <Your PC IP>
Protocol: Both
Private Port: 27015
Public Port: 27015
Inbound Filter: Allow All
Save this and make another one.
Name: CSS Server2
IP Address: <Your PC IP>
Protocol: Both
Private Port: 27020
Public Port: 27020
Inbound Filter: Allow
Save again. And this time you also need to "save settings" which is the button just under the Virtual Server name.
Your router may require rebooting in which it will prompt you to reboot.
You can now start Counter-Strike and create a Listen server for people to join.
After you have launched the game, selected the map and it has loaded you might be required to enter some commands into the games console
If Lan
sv_lan 1
If Internet server
sv_lan 0
sv_region 1-5 for different area's, Pacific, Asia, USA, Europe (255 for your server to show up in all locations)
It may take upto 5-10mins for your server to show up on the server listings.
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 10:17 PM.

An experimental drug has been shown to restore function to nerves damaged by spinal cord compression injuries and shows potential for future treatment of spinal cord trauma, according to new research from Purdue University.
As recently detailed in the Journal of Neurophysiology, the chemical compound, 4-aminopyridine-3-methyl-hydroxide, was used to treat pig spinal cord tissue that was simulated to experience the stresses that occur in spinal cord compression injuries, which stretch rather than sever the nerves and can lead to paralysis.
As confirmed in the research findings, spinal cord compression injuries damage the myelin sheath, a thick insulating layer that protects axons, the slender fibers that extend from nerve cells and transmit signals in the spinal cord via rapid electrical impulses.
According to the researchers, "fast potassium channels" that reside in the axons and play a crucial role in the transmission of nerve impulses are exposed following damage to the myelin sheath, thus impairing normal signal transmission and nerve function.
However, in treating the damaged axons with 4-aminopyridine-3-methyl-hydroxide, the researchers learned that this experimental drug acted as a "potassium channel blocker" that prevented these channels from exposure following compression injuries and restored nerve function without slowing down the firing time between pulses.
The researchers added how 4-aminopyridine-3-methyl-hydroxide, which is 10 times stronger than 4-aminopyridine alone, could result in lower doses and fewer side effects than other drugs given to patients with spinal cord injuries, and even be used to treat nerve damage from multiple sclerosis, a chronic and often-disabling disease that also damages myelin.

A single-center retrospective study initial recently identified ventilator settings as a major risk factor for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in mechanically ventilated patients who do not have ARDS from the outset. We tested this hypothesis in a larger sample of patients prospectively enrolled in a multicenter study on mechanical ventilation.
Design and setting
From a large international mechanical ventilation study database we identified patients who required mechanical ventilation for 48 h or more but did not have ARDS at the onset of mechanical ventilation. We extracted information on demographics, initial severity of illness, ventilator settings and major underlying ARDS risk factors. Primary outcome was development of ARDS after the onset of mechanical ventilation.
Measurements and results
Of 3,261 mechanically ventilated patients who did not have ARDS at the outset 205 (6.2%) developed ARDS 48 h or more after the onset of mechanical ventilation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for baseline patient characteristics (age, gender, Simplified Acute Physiology Score, hypoxemia) and underlying ARDS risk factors (sepsis, trauma, pneumonia) found the development of ARDS to be associated with the initial ventilator settings: high tidal volume (odds ratio 2.6 for tidal volume >700 ml), high peak airway pressure (odds ratio 1.6 for peak airway pressure >30 cmH2O), and high positive end-expiratory pressure (odds ratio 1.7 for end-expiratory pressure >5 cmH2O).
The association with the potentially injurious initial ventilator settings, in particular large tidal volumes, suggests that ARDS in mechanically ventilated patients is in part a preventable complication. This hypothesis needs to be tested in a prospective study.

5 Awards and Trophies of Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most popular sport personalities ever with millions of fans from all around the world supporting him. The Portugal captain and Real Madrid superstar has many awards and trophies behind him and here we want to highlight 5 of them. Let's roll...
First Club Trophy
Cristiano Ronaldo won his first trophy with Manchester United in his first year at the club. This also marked the first time someone from Portugal plays in a Manchester United jersey. In the final of the competition, he opened the score sheet after 44 minutes as Red Devils rolled 3-0 past Millwall.
Manchester United's 1000th goal in the Premier League
On October 29, 2005, Manchester United lost 4-1 to Middlesbrough with the young Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the only goal for the Red Devils. As it turned out, it was Manchester's 1000th goal in the Premier League.
FIFA World Player of the Year
In January 2009, Ronaldo became the first player from the English Premier League to lift the FIFA World Player of the Year award, beating Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Liverpool's Fernando Torres along the way. Moreover, he was also the second Portuguese player to clinch that title after Luis Figo in 2001.
Diego Maradona's record breaker
When Cristiano Ronaldo was presented as a Real Madrid player, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium counted almost 80,000 fans. That's 5,000 more people than what Diego Maradona's presentation as a Napoli player in 1984 managed to attract. Impressive!
FIFA Ferenc Puskas Award Winner
The Puskas Award, created in October 2009 to honor the legendary Hungarian soccer player Ferenc Puskas, rewards the player of the most beautiful goal of the year. Ronaldo won it with his 40-yard screamer against Porto, effectively firing Manchester United into the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2009. What's more, this goal also ended Porto's unbeaten record at the Dragao Stadium against English opposition.

Unlike gaming mice, we've always found the case for gaming keyboards to be rather less clear cut. Gaming mice came about because of a need to get better accuracy and tracking, the benefits of which anyone - not just gamers - can notice straight away. However, in terms of performance, any old keyboard that actually works will get many people by no matter what level they game at. Instead, the evolution of gaming keyboards has been about extra features, like programmable buttons and LCD screens, or better ergonomics. So if you don't need the extra features and find a normal keyboard reasonably comfortable, you're left with little reason to buy one. All of which makes the Steel Series 7G a rather intriguing proposition.
This is a premium, performance keyboard that's meant to provide the utmost in accurate responsiveness and survive a long and hardy life at the hands of over exuberant gamers but it has little in the way of extra features and has no macro programmability. In other words, it's quite a niche product. Let's see if it's something worth investing in.
Available in every colour so long as it's black, the 7G has an intriguing two part design. The main keyboard section is devoid of any extraneous borders or wrist rest-type extensions and as such it stands very tall, to the extent that you can't rest your wrists on the table and type comfortably. You instead must constantly hold your hands aloft, which is arguably how you should type anyway to reduce your risk of RSI.
If you do want to use a wrist rest, though, you can of course use your own third party one or use the provided plastic surround that slots on top of the keyboard and incorporates a very large wrist rest – it's nearly four inches from its edge to the front of the keys. In this regard its actually one of the best wrist rests we've ever used as, unlike the token efforts you get on many keyboards, it's actually long enough to support your wrists. However, it's only made of the same hard plastic as the rest of the keyboard so doesn't provide any cushioning. Of course this fits in with the whole hardcore image of the keyboard and it means the surround will last, untarnished for years to come but, when it boils down to it we'd rather have the comfort in the short term – after all, with a modular design, it's perfectly possible to sell replacement wrist rests should the original get grimy.
Another comfort issue comes from the fact that this has a completely conventional keyboard layout. Having used for the last year or so at work a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard, I've become used to its more natural wrist position and large spread-out keys. Also, the vast majority of half decent keyboards nowadays are either low profile or slightly curved, or both. So, coming back to a conventional layout and key height feels very cramped and, though I've not noticed any marked increase in discomfort (bar the cold weather making my hands cold and stiff) in the week or so that I've been using this keyboard, it is a stark reminder of how unnatural the normal keyboard layout is and why I recommend everyone give an ergonomic keyboard a try.

It's like a homage to my wonderful IBM Model M! I especially like the PS/2 by default. Maybe it's just me but I can never get USB input devices to be niggle-free across BIOS, Windows, Keyboard/Mouse software, and Games.
(Although you are right about a missing Windows key being annoying!)
I really like this keyboard but I think its let down by the odd lack of left windows key and lack of extra features.
It looks great and easy cleaning and a good key action would be great but for a hundred quid I just expect more, my g11 lights up has a switch to deactivate the windows keys and has the macro keys (which are like marmite, some love them some hate them) and all for alot less than this board :)
Not a bad review for someone not familiar with the market, you did get it wrong in a couple of places though.
"Incidentally, SteelSeries makes a big deal of this keyboard's unique ability to have every key pressed at the same time and have it register instantly (most other keyboards can only handle seven simultaneous keys before delays are introduced). However, we really can't think of any situations where this is advantageous but it's there if you want it."
Saying most keyboards will handle seven keys before delays isn't quite right. Most keyboards will not register all held down keys for certain combinations of three or more keys, while other combinations of keys could probably go as high as 12 or so while still seeing all the keys. Common (gaming) combinations of three that won't work are W + D + E and A + S + X. It's easy enough to test these in a text editor, just hold down two and see if the third comes up when you press it. If it does then you've either got a high end gaming keyboard or a keyboard with unusual wiring (in which case some other combinations of three won't work).
The 6/7 key limit is from USB and is on top of whatever other limitations a keyboard has, A PS/2 connection has no such limitation. While it's easy to see why you'd want to go from not being able to press a third key in some situations on a normal keyboard to the 6-keys/all-keys minimum of a keyboard like the steeleries it is a bit more unusual to want more than six keys at once, but it's easy enough to see how it could happen if you needed to hold down keys with both hands rather than the 3-4 keys with one hand that's common in most games.
"So, we come to the most important bit of any keyboard, the key action. Each key is individually sprung and SteelSeries uses a, so far as we're aware, unique key mechanism that resembles a classic 'clicky' mechanical switch but without the click. "
Unique? Not quite.
They're Cherry MX Switches and used on quite a few high end keyboards. The ones in the Steelseries 7G are the heavier linear ones but you also get clicky and soft click('tactile') variants, both of which are generally reckoned to be nicer to type on. They've been around for 20 years or so in that design, but as far as I know never got into any dell or similar keyboards like Alps did so it's understandable if you've not seen them before.
The cheapest keyboard available with them is Cherry's own G80-3000. G80-3000LPCGB for the linear switches, G80-3000LSCGB for the clicky, the soft click ones aren't available in a UK layout in the G80-3000. The number on the end (-0 or -2) is the colour. It's not as overbuilt as the 7G and doesn't have the more-guaranteed-keys-at-once feature but at ~£65 it makes the Steelseries a bit overpriced as just a typing keyboard.
For those who do want the whole package, an alternative to the Steelseries 7G is a Diatec Filco Majestouch. Previously they were only available in Japanese and US layouts but I know at least one company ('The Keyboard Company') is expecting some UK layout models soon. They're very similar keyboards to the 7G including the guaranteed many keys at once feature (Diatech calls it N-key rollover rather than Steelseries' anti-ghosting but it's the same thing) with PS/2 capability and the cherry MX switches (available in soft/tactile and click variants as well as linear). I don't think they have the audio passthrough, but they do have a proper windows key. I've heard the ones with blue LEDs are rather bright so you might like to ask about that before buying but they often come in other colours as well. Pricing is similar to the 7G, around £110.
Oh, and if you do still have the 7G could you test whether the Steelseries logo key is implemented in hardware or software (i.e. can the computer see it)? As it's Taiwanese (the 7G is built by Datacomp AFAIK) I suspect it's hardware which means you can't even rebind it to function as a windows key (which wouldn't be ideal as it's not portable, but it'd be something at least).
p.s. I apologise if there's any obvious mistakes here as I'm writing this post at a late hour.
@Xiphias: The logo key is implemented in hardware.
Fair cop on the rest of that stuff. I'll amend accordingly.
Oh how I long to be able to easily remove the caps lock and insert keys!!
@PoisonJam: I'm totally with you on the insert key!
On my current basic Logitech media keyboard I keep hitting the caps lock key with the A key. On my Dell keyboard at work the edge of the caps lock key is recessed.
On my current stock OEM Compaq keyboard the key action sucks. Big time. :(
@ PoisonJam - The Logitech SetPoint software will let you disable the Caps locl/Insert/Windows keys amongst others if you want. It should work with any Logitech keyboard, at least it does with my Illuminated Keyboard.
I think TR should spearhead a campaign to remove the Caps Lock key...
PoisonJam & Ed: You could just turn it/them off, Sharpkeys should work fine for that: http://www.codeplex.com/sha...
The recessed caps lock is the standard design (i.e. IBM did it) and you'll find most serious keyboards have it. Microsoft and Logitech both used to do it but they seemed to have stopped lately, I guess it's a further descent down the road of trading off usability for cost.
I use a keyboard with the arrow keys and number pad moved to the left so I can have the letter area of the keyboard directly in front of me while the mouse is just to the right. As insert is five keys to the left of 1/! I never hit it by accident any more. It's a far more sensible design than the usual for right handed mousers and I'm surprised it's not more widely used.
@dev: Or you could just learn to type properly ;)
Nah, (but they will being trying to kill you...) I do agree that all caps lock keys should have that recessed section.
@Xiphias: What keyboard's that then? Sounds intriguing. It strikes me, considering all this discussion, that there's still ample room for the perfect keyboard. Personally I'd like the switches, audio pass-through, and USB hub of the 7G with the layout of the Microsoft Ergonomic series (or at least the Logitech Curve) and the number pad on the left along with some macro/multimedia keys. Easy.
@Ed: I could learn to type properly eh - "they will being trying to kill you"??? :P
@dev: Dang! Hoist by my own petard.
@smc8788 - Good suggestion. I normally don't install the Setpoint software as it's just another largely unnecessary thing on startup. I gave it a try but it only recognises my mouse, probably because my keyboard is PS/2?
@Xiphias - Is it likely to be the same (i.e. USB only) for Sharpkeys, or does it disabled them in the OS?
@Ed: It was marketed as a 'left handed keyboard' without a brand attached. It was made by Strong Man who apparently went out of business so they disappeared from most of the shops. I notice a couple of places are expecting new stocks but with Cherry MX switches this time instead of the Strongman copies of the Alps design mine has so I assume they're now being manufactured by someone else. There's also a cheaper one using what looks like scissor switches (laptop keys) from Evoluent under the name of 'mouse friendly keyboard' but that unfortunately uses a mangled and squashed together layout.
I'd agree about there being ample room for the perfect keyboard. Considering the standard keyboard layout (minus windows keys) came out in 1985 it's surprising how little innovation there's been considering the massively changing usage of the PC. There's plenty of completely custom keyboards, and plenty of standard keyboards with extra buttons that provide functions that already have keyboard shortcuts but very few that are adaptations of the standard keyboard to new uses.
@PoisonJam: I've no idea, it's uses windows remapping so I'd imagine it supports both but it's possible it's USB only.

Windows 10 Will Soon Run Edge In a Virtual Machine To Keep You Safe (arstechnica.com) 172
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Microsoft has announced that the next major update to Windows 10 will run its Edge browser in a lightweight virtual machine. Running the update in a virtual machine will make exploiting the browser and attacking the operating system or compromising user data more challenging. Called Windows Defender Application Guard for Microsoft Edge, the new capability builds on the virtual machine-based security that was first introduced last summer in Windows 10. Windows 10's Virtualization Based Security (VBS) uses small virtual machines and the Hyper-V hypervisor to isolate certain critical data and processes from the rest of the system. The most important of these is Credential Guard, which stores network credentials and password hashes in an isolated virtual machine. This isolation prevents the popular MimiKatz tool from harvesting those password hashes. In turn, it also prevents a hacker from breaking into one machine and then using stolen credentials to spread to other machines on the same network. Credential Guard's virtual machine is very small and lightweight, running only a relatively simple process to manage credentials. Application Guard will go much further by running large parts of the Edge browser within a virtual machine. This virtual machine won't, however, need a full operating system running inside it -- just a minimal set of Windows features required to run the browser. Because Application Guard is running in a virtual machine it will have a much higher barrier between it and the host platform. It can't see other processes, it can't access local storage, it can't access any other installed applications, and, critically, it can't attack the kernel of the host system. In its first iteration, Application Guard will only be available for Edge. Microsoft won't provide an API or let other applications use it. As with other VBS features, Application Guard will also only be available to users of Windows 10 Enterprise, with administrative control through group policies. Administrators will be able to mark some sites as trusted, and those sites won't use the virtual machine. Admins also be able to control whether untrusted sites can use the clipboard or print.

Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA—December 2015—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has published a new document titled Management of Critical- and Significant-Risk Results (GP47-Ed1). This guideline provides current best practice recommendations for developing and implementing a policy and procedures for the identification, reporting, and management of critical- and significant-risk laboratory results. Emphasis is placed on management responsibilities such as development of the policy, the process, procedures, job descriptions, and monitoring systems that ensure effective reporting and compliance with regulatory requirements.
"Compliance with regulation and accreditation standards requires a significant investment in personnel, time, and other resources. This CLSI standard provides the information needed to help health care organizations understand the requirements for reporting high-risk test results. GP47 gives organizations the ability to develop policies and procedures that promote patient safety and success during regulatory or accreditation inspections and allows for a more efficient use of their resources," states Andrew N. Young, MD, PhD, Chairholder of the GP47 Document Development Committee and Medical Director at Quest Diagnostics in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
This new document refers to results as critical risk and significant risk, depending on the degree of risk to the patient. The recommendations in the standard are intended to be consistent with best practices for patient safety, and compliant with current, pertinent regulatory and accreditation requirements. GP47 includes an executive summary and appendixes with sample policies, reporting methods, escalation procedures, and monitoring tools.
This document is intended for clinical and laboratory directors, managers, and personnel who develop and implement laboratory policies and processes. The standard is also intended for health care administrators who oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, accreditation, and clinical practice standards related to patient safety. The recommendations cover every laboratory discipline and pertain to clinical laboratories of every size, scope, and complexity.
GP47 can be purchased on the CLSI Shop at shop.clsi.org/GP47 or by contacting Customer Service at email@example.com or +1.610.688.0100.

Does a thank you letter really matter?
You have just left the interview for the job of your dreams and you feel really good about the opportunity. You're thinking to yourself, "I bet they will call me any day with an offer!" It's great that you feel like you nailed it! So what's your next move? Do you wait to hear back from the potential employer? Or do you send a Thank You? The answer is simple- yes, you need to thank the employer.
What's the best method of delivery?
Many people regularly ask me, "What is the best way to thank a hiring manager(s). Should I send an email, go analog and send out some snail mail, pick up the phone and call direct, shoot them a text or even send a message via Linkedin? Most Hiring Managers and Recruiters will tell you that the preferred method is email-it's fast and it doesn't interfere with their busy days. Some recruiters like Linkedin as well, but they may not check their account every day, so again emailing is the preferred method.
How long should I wait before hitting Send?
As a Recruiter with many years of experience and a network of many fellow Recruiters, we all agree that the answer is the sooner, the better. When you get home from your rock star interview you should thank the team right away! This shows you take charge and don't procrastinate-If you don't have time that day try and send it within 24 hours.
Rock Star thank you
Michelle , do I need to email each interviewer or can I just send one to the whole interview panel? You should thank each interviewer individually and try and recall something that each interviewer said. Doing this helps to eliminate the "form thank you" feel that too often happens.. Thank them for their time, express your interest in the role and why you're the best candidate, along with anything special that you will bring to the table. Close this rock-star thank you by letting them know you're looking forward to the next steps in the process and your desire to be part of their team.
Editors Note: Countless studies have shown that professionally-written resumes get more interviews. Compare Resume Writing and Resume Editing to see which of our services is right for you.
Waiting game of Chess
I thought I nailed this interview AND I sent a thank you, so why haven't they called??? What should be your next move? I would send a follow up email and reiterate your interest, asking specifically about next steps…some might prefer to make a phone call to the Hiring Manager-this is up to you, however I will caution you to only call once and not be too pushy as this can make them annoyed. There is some truth to the old adage that the squeaky wheel gets the oil, however sometimes the squeaky wheel is just replaced with a new wheel. I have seen candidates moved out of consideration for calling multiple times a day and you don't want to be the person who is being screened out.
I was a shoe-in, so what happened?
"We went with another candidate" I know those words are hard to hear, but remain positive and thank them for letting you know and if anything changes you are still very interested in the company.
I have seen time and time again candidates who were turned down and only to be hired for something else within the organization or the original person offered the position declined, re-opening your opportunity. So accept bad news graciously, because you never know what the future may hold.

Please keep in mind that I LOVE the human body. It is a fabulous thing! :) I am not offended by nude. I'm just not interested in shooting it myself! :)
