Psoriasis is a chronic skin and scalp condition which varies in severity from small red, itchy, scaly patches to full body coverage. It can affect skin on any part of the body, including genitals, scalp, fingernails and toenails.
Psoriasis Treatments
Topical treatments are often used in the beginning if the condition is mild. However they take time to apply, can stain clothing and may irritate normal skin. Some have an odor. If one withdraws from topical agents, such as corticosteroids, there can be a dramatic rebound of the condition.
Many sufferers opt for medicines, taken internally. The following are some commonly used medications:
Methotrexate is effective in controlling psoriasis, not eliminating it. It slows the prolific growth of skin cells while it suppresses the immune system. It has the danger, however, of being highly toxic, with sometimes life threatening side effects. To insure it is not harming the patient, blood count and liver function tests are suggested one week after the initial dose and each time the dose is increased. It is recommended for very severe forms of psoriasis.
Cyclosporine, also an immunosupressant drug, is useful in accomplishing speedy, short term control of psoriasis. It however, has the potential of creating drug reactions when used with other drugs. It also can elevate blood pressure and interfere with kidney function.
Acitretin, (an oral retinoid) is effective in controlling pustular psoriasis (raised pustules surrounded by red skin). It would seem the safest and at first seem natural as it relates to Vitamin A; however it is a synthetic. It should be taken in small does to minimize retinoid side effects, and liver dysfunction should be tested for. Two or three years after discontinuing treatment it can have adverse effects on child bearing.
Biologics are manufactured proteins that interrupt specific aspects of the immune process involved in psoriasis. This type of drug is relatively new and is expensive. Their long term effect on the immune system is unknown, though may not be has harmful as other immune suppressant drugs such as Methotrexate, because it does not effect the whole immune system.
XP - 828L A Canadian life science and technology company has developed a new oral medication called XP - 828L extracted from whey by a patented process. It is supposed to be effective and safe for mild to moderate psoriasis.
Other Medications. Though not sanctioned by many other countries, fumaric acid esters have been used in Germany for over 20 years to treat psoriasis. There are other drugs used, but not exclusively for psoriasis, such as sulfasalazine and antimetabolite tioguanine. The cytotoxic ("cell-toxic") agent hydroxyurea, and the immunosupressants mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine and oral tacrolimus have also been used.
History. Historically, psoriasis treatments have been bizarre as well as toxic-- cat feces on lesions in ancient Egypt; other ancients used semen and goose oil, soup made from venomous snakes, as well as concoctions of urine and wasp droppings. In the 18th and 19th, Fowler's solution which contained arsenic was used; Xrays were used during the mid 1900's.
Still needed are the insistence, the discovery and use of safe treatments for this all too common skin disease.
|Ultrabalm, while it is not medicine, but rather a soothing, healthful skin cream relief that combines Vitamin A, D & E with Lanolin and the finest in Aloe Vera, fits the safe criteria. For more information on these ingredients CLICK HERE. Ultra Balm brings general overall lubrication and health to skin tissues and has been found to be helpful to many psoriasis sufferers.
Here is what some of our Ultra Balm users say about how Ultra Balm has helped them with this chronic skin condition:
"I live in Decatur Illinois and found your Ultra-Balm at a Home & Garden Show there. I've had a bad case of Psoriasis for over 20 years. Before Ultra Balm I think I tried everything, from Prescription drugs, invasive injections to numerous alternative medicine treatments but none ever gave me the relief that Ultra Balm has. At first I was very hesitant to buy it because of all the past product failures I'd experienced. I am so glad I gave it one last chance! I put my Ultra Balm on daily and my skin is no longer cracked and dry, no longer itches, and the soreness I used to have is GONE! I want everyone to experience the success I've had with Ultra Balm and encourage anyone with a severe skin problem to just TRY IT, especially if they've tried a lot of other solutions that have failed! They will really be amazed at the results"!
"I have found your product to be a blessing. I have been suffering with psoriasis on my hands and feet, and the medicine that my doctor was prescribing for me was too strong, therefore making it worse. Since I discovered Ultra Balm, the condition of my hands and feet has greatly improved, and the dry, chapped skin is being replaced by healthy smooth skin. My coworkers at the Tool & Die Company that I work for have been so impressed with results of your product that they have urged me to order Ultra Balm for them too. That's why I placed a multiple order.

In order for submissions to be considered for sale they must be of high aesthetic and technical quality, unique to our library and cannot be in violation of Envato's policies. Please see our Knowledgebase for more information: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List
Our Review team also provided these comments:
I'm not sure about these copyright policies.. I'm using several GPL or/and MIT licensed JS libraries and one GLPv3 php/js theme framework which I've modified. I think that's all legal? The only thing that comes to my mind is maybe a photo in documents with a screenshot with a person on it that I don't have rights for. But this is a pretty harsh reject for something small as that. Am I missing something? I know that design is not really the greatest and can be improved. So please help me with this? Ideas, do you like it, what you hate and similar? Thanks a lot!
..and the rejected theme preview is here
this is realy not problem of policies but problem of design. It is way off, very, very outdated. Everything from logo, spacings, typography. Sorry, but this is way too far from TF standards to give you a constructive feedback. If you are skilled in HTML/WP than either buy some decent PSD with required license, or find some experienced designer. Or start working on your design skill. Just compare it to some recent themes/templates/PSDs on themeforest and if you don't see the difference in quality, well, you need to work harder. Good luck
I agree with Phantasia , everything is wrong with the design.
Thank you for support! Yes, I agree about the outdated appearance. I was confused with the reply but in back of my mind I was pretty sure that my design sucks. I thought that maybe the content builder and slides system will be enough to override this, but apparently with all that being nice, the design comes first! More thoughts are highly appreciated.
Yeah, it is hard to get approved, don't get me wrong. But I think you need a more modern design. They are looking for something they haven't seen before, and the problem with a classical theme, is that they have been around for a while (and hence, often not unique).
That email is generic, i.e. it wasn't written specifically for you. I wouldn't stress about what the email says, but more about your theme in general, and how to improve it. I've been there before, and when I submit a theme I expect to get rejected—this is how we improve, yeah?
Hope that helps!
For me personally, the blue/grey colour scale isn't very modern or fresh. Echoing what the posts above are saying, the reviewers will be looking for original themes. I'd have a think what you can do to make this theme desirable. I think the big question you have to ask yourself is would you pay $45+ for it??
Hope this helps!
Thank you for your comments! I agree. I will have to work on my design skills!

Ilion mayor: Opposition caused withdraw of fireman's convention hosting
There are 34 comments on the mpcourier.com story from Mar 16, 2013, titled Ilion mayor: Opposition caused withdraw of fireman's convention hosting. In it, mpcourier.com reports that:
The mayor of the Ilion said his community lost a regional fireman's association convention because it wanted to hold the event in July.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at mpcourier.com.
#2 Mar 16, 2013
"We werent going to spend that money on restaurants and hotels if we werent sure we were going to host it, Mr. Stephens said.
Define"We"; firemen, taxpayers, volunteers, individuals?
#5 Mar 16, 2013
yippee we don't need no darn statewide Firemen Convention we got the DOO DAH PARADE
yippee yippee yippee
#6 Mar 17, 2013
Why does Ilion have to be so difficult? They should have said it was ok to have it in June. Why double book events in July?
#7 Mar 17, 2013
John Stephens and Ilion's inept leadership deprived the struggling valley of a $3 million economic boost
that's about how much 10,000 firemen and families would have spent over three days June 6 - 8
and that's just for ONE YEAR.
3 years =$9 million
assuming the convention went well, it could be expected the convention would return each year
not to mention what for many would have been a fun and exciting event and a point of community pride
this is the biggest F-up of Stephens' dismal career in public service
#8 Mar 18, 2013
What's appalling is that this Mayor belived that he could unilaterally or without majority support of members change the By-laws of the Association. Mr.Stephens has shown that he has very little leadership abilities and influence to bring about positive results for the village. Previous efforts of consolidation or shared services have fallen well short of the campaign rhetoric.
Talks with other municipalities have been just that, talk. New sources of revenues especially from an increased tax base are sorely lacking, and a long overdue final water service agreement with the Town of German Flats remains elusive.
Hope equal or more effort and diligence will be given to these issues as was done in attemting to host this convention.
#9 Mar 21, 2013
stevens really took the village to the cleaner on this one! WOW
#10 Mar 22, 2013
Where is the local reporting on this topic?
#11 Mar 22, 2013
10,000 attendees for three days June 6-8
say each attendee spends on average $100 a day
10,000 x $100 =$1 million a day
$1 million x 3 days =$3 million injected into the local economy
#12 Mar 22, 2013
Doubtful it would be that high nor that many people would or could actually come to little Ilion, NY. Nice way to inflate the numbers to push your agenda against this mayor.
Tell us, where in Ilion would you hold an event with 10,000 people?
#13 Mar 22, 2013
you're also not factoring in the expenses that would be associated with holding such an event. Your $1M per day fantasy is dwindling down very fast!
#14 Mar 22, 2013
I am merely quoting the 10,000 attendee figure as cited by the firemens convention leadership in the news article. I assume you have an exact count of the attendees that would have arrived?
Where would you hold such an event in Ilion? Why don't you ask the convention leadership?
As the article states, they were locked and loaded on Ilion until Stephens in a his bone-headed way insisted the association move its event from June 6-8 (same time of year since 1959) to the middle of July to coincide with Ilion Days and the Doo Dah Parade.
Instead of picking on details, why don't you explain to everyone how Stephens' insistence that the convention leadership change its dates so the event would coincide with the already busy Ilion Days makes...
We look forward to your explanation.
#15 Mar 22, 2013
Doesn't matter why Stephens was doing what he was doing. Your numbers are highly suspect. And since you cannot provide a source of reference for them, then it become clear they are not for real but pulled out of your ass. Cite a source.
It is highly likely the Convention was never seriously entertaining the idea of bringing this to Ilion because logistically, it would be impossible to hold this in Ilion. Lets try the Herkimer County Fairgrounds in Frankfort as the most logical location for it.
#16 Mar 22, 2013
And how would you know anything without providing data and a source? You must be the Topix troll that judged the post with negative symbols.
The walrus idiot wouldn't know how to generate revenue for this doomed village if it was handed to him. Apprently the event was staring him in the face and he chose to ignore it.
Maybe he didn't want 'real' firemen from outside the village calling him out as an imposter poser ex fireman who is on pussy disability.
#17 Mar 22, 2013
I'm not the one making the claims with numbers and such as you are. I refute your claims because you did not reference anything with a link or even a titled document. Therefore, if anyone is to provide a source and data, it is you. Back up your claims, else they are BS.
Interestingly, you posted this in the Herkimer forum, not Ilion.
#18 Mar 22, 2013
OK then, I will continue to educate you.
This thread was generated when someone decided to comment on a story in the Topix "News" section. You can tell this is a news story-generated thread by the little newspaper icon to the left of the title of thread in the list of threads.
When you open a news story-generated thread such as this one, you will see the headline used by the news outlet and: "Full story:..." with URL to the source story. In this case, that URL is
Finally, the individual who started this thread had no control over where it would be posted, be it Ilion Herkimer etc. That is determined by the automated system that Topix has set up.
In this case, the Topix system deigned that the thread appear in both Herkimer and Ilion forums.
That is good, as more people in the valley can be informed on how Ilion's thumb-sucking Mayor Stephens and other tweedle-dees and tweedle-dums in Ilion deprived the valley of what could have been a $3 million economic windfall.
#19 Mar 22, 2013
Something is not adding up on both sides in that story. Why Ilion and where in Ilion could handle a large gathering like that?
to rebut the poster earlier with their multimillion dollar fantasy, straight from the article:
"The influx of up to 10,000 firemen for the weekend could have pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into the local economy."
Up to 10,000 for the weekend, not each day. It never would have amounted to anywhere approaching $3 million dollars.
#20 Mar 22, 2013
10000 people coming to a village of 8888 people? John your dreaming and have NO idea. First other than the Red Carpet Inn, Herkimer Motel, Inn Town Motel and Knights Inn in Little Falls where would the stay? Utica? Then why have the conference in Ilion. You also need a meeting place to hold the meetings for that many people. The next thing is directed at the Village Board, who authorized the Village of Ilion to spend a dime on booking rooms for a private organization. Time for a BIG Change in Ilion.
#21 Mar 22, 2013
Exactly. They would have had to reserve rooms out to Utica for that kind of crowd. Doesn't add up. Besides, why would the village be responsible for reserving rooms? Shouldn't the people coming to the vent reserve their own rooms?
#22 Mar 22, 2013
Mr.Stephens and the Village Board should concentrate their economic development efforts on true and tested policies of lower taxs,less regulations and efficient government.
#23 Mar 22, 2013
in my view and experience, the majority (say 75%) of attendees would have lodged for two nights. Maybe 20% would have lodged one night. Very few would have driven in and out the same day, given the distances involved for many and the opportunity to party up with their buddies.
as for the article understating the economic impact as "hundreds of thousands of dollars," well, the reporter clearly didn't do the math, and likely lacked the perspective of an economic development professional.
when one does the math, it's obvious that we're looking at a multi-million dollar impact that Stephens has single-handedly squandered.

Old question coming back thanks to current Photodune action…
Photodune is currently soft disabling already approved pictures of building, asking for a property release.
Istock is refusing pictures of "Castles in Europe"
Shutterstock and Fotolia are randomly accepting or rejecting pictures of buildings.
I am afraid they are just taking it easy – "better safe than sorry" way of thinking – instead of trying to properly understand regulations.
In some countries things are less certain. But it seems to me that the situation is quite clear at least in the UK and Germany, and pictures of buildings there should be accepted:Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, Section 62: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/62 Urheberrechtsgesetz, Article 59: http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__59.html
As an architect (my other job), I find the German distinction between the building itself (no copies allowed) and its photographic reproduction (allowed) particularly good.
Why don't they understand? I am willing to respect the law, but should we let them pull our leg and renounce to architectural photography just because they are lazy?
Any opinions on this matter?PS: I started a similar thread at Microstockgroup since other agencies are concerned as well: http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-photography-discussion/panoramafreiheit-%28copyright-designs-and-patents-act-1988-urheberrechtsgesetz%29/msg275805/?topicseen#new
I started a new thread because I didn't see there's another similar recent thread here:http://photodune.net/forums/thread/release-for-public-monuments-photographed-from-public-ground/77561
I've also had a series of castle photos soft rejected for same reason. This is getting bloody ridiculous.
Over 9000 castle images available for download here on photodune???
So why delete mine?
Hey guys. Apologies for the delayed reply, but I hope that I can clear this up a little.
We're currently working on refining our policies for images of several different building types. This is a pretty huge task and it won't all be done at once, so please bear with us. There are a lot of complicated legal webs that we could tangle ourselves into when it comes to property release forms, right to privacy, public land and other messy things, and every country in the world has a slightly different take on the issue. It's very difficult to apply a nuanced policy instantly— our reviewers are not legal experts, and can't verify every country's laws. There are also legal concepts apart from copyright, which come into play in some countries.
With that in mind, our key focus going forward is to develop simple rules and apply them consistently. These rules are at times going to be a generalisation, which does mean that some images won't be approved that could be if we had a crack team of experts on every country's property laws. That's the unfortunate nature of global stock photography— with such a wide range subject matter, we do have to boil it down to what is practical, achievable, and brings the highest returns to our authors. We don't want to fall into the trap of having rules that are contradictory, confusing, or are applied inconsistently. Once we've conducted a full re-review of the existing PhotoDune library we'll be publishing the results on the Knowledgebase and applying those guidelines to all new submissions.
If you have any questions about specific images, please feel free to submit a support ticket and request that it be assigned to me.

Thiago Silva signs for Paris Saint-Germain
On Saturday, 27-year-old Brazil international Thiago Silva signed a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain from AC Milan.
Thiago Emiliano da Silva was born on 22 September 1984 in Rio de Janeiro. Growing up, he played for the Fluminense youth teams but never signed a pro contract with the club. A central defender, he then joined RS Futebol, in the Brazilian third division. After an excellent debut season, he signed immediately for Juventude in the first division.
He quickly caught the eye of FC Porto, who signed him in 2004, howver he failed to impose himself and headed off to try his luck with Dinamo Moscow in Russia. It was a second disappointing experience and after an injury-plagued season, Thiago Silva returned home to the club where it all began, Fluminense.
Back in Brazil he played three excellent seasons and won his first trophy (the Brazil Cup 2007), and reached the 2008 final of the Copa Libertadores and earned his first international cap. In 2008 he decided to give Europe another chance and signed for AC Milan. He became a mainstay of the Rossoneri central defence in the 2009-10 campaign and was crowned Italian champion in 2011.
A first-choice central defender with the Selecao and considered one of the best central defenders in the world, Thiago Silva is the second mercato recruit to PSG and completes the club's Brazilian quartet alongside Alex, Maxwell and Nene. He will try and etch his name in the club history along with other illustrious compatriots Valdo, Ricardo, Raï, Leonardo and Ronaldinho...

October 7, 2004 04:39 PM - National Wildlife Federation
"The Bush administration has made a wise and welcomed decision to table its plans to drill Montana's Rocky Mountain Front. While the administration's decision does not permanently protect this pristine natural area, it keeps the Front protected for the immediate future. We would hope this decision signals a change in the administration's attitude towards inappropriate development of prime wildlife habitat on public land.

Model Sues Google for Her Blog's Manipulation for Scareware
A Canadian model Liskula Cohen has sued Google and demanding that it reveals the individual who allegedly was misappropriating her blog, "Skanks in NYC" hosted by Google's Blogger. According to reports, scammers utilized Google to insert malicious code in her blog.
After studying the issue in detail, security researchers stated that there were some elements in the blog that promoted an effective scam with social networking involving a famous personality and sex related subjects. According to the researchers, the scammers were manipulating Google's search feature to place their malicious websites closer to the top hits when surfers searched for "skanks in nyc".

President Putin of Russia gave strong support to Palestinian President Abbas in his struggle to assert control over Palestine. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov bluntly said: "We firmly support you as the lawful leader of the entire Palestinian people." However, Putin quietly let it be known he was willing to talk with Hamas leaders.
I sometimes with Putin was head of the United States. The man is clever and able to juggle several balls in the air without dropping a single one. If Bush threw one in the air he would drop it.

My North Carolina CHL was approved and I picked it up yesterday at the Sheriff's office - exactly 21 days from the time I turned in my application. Thank you Sheriff Donnie Harrison. You are indeed "the man", and a total professional, especially considering the sharp increase in CHL applications being made right now.
I'm off to Wally World to do my walk and pick up some ammo. Today is also my 9th wedding anniversary and my wife has been supportive of me getting my CHL since I first showed interest in it. More proof that I married well.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
Obviously, you are doing somethings right !!!

WOW!! They let primates carry now??????? Congrats.....
Wow. I got my permit October 14th, seven weeks to the day after i submitted my application in Catawba County.
Thanks to everyone for the congratulations.
The Wally World walk was uneventful. I took a good long walk too - looked at CDs, DVDs and some other stuff before picking up the essential ammo. The only weirdness was self-generated. When the girl behind the counter near the ammo asked me if I needed ammunition it struck me funny and I had to resist the temptation to laugh. "Why no ma'am. I think the 33 rounds I'm carrying is enough." is what went through my head.
I went about my business the rest of the day armed - my XD(M) in a Blackhawk Serpa underneath an oversized zip-up hoodie - with no one the wiser. The grocery store, the gas station which included a jaunt near a deputy sheriff and even an HOA meeting - all went well.

If you new to CCL, Id recommend searching some of the forum for how to carry and holster recommendations.
A good quality holster makes all the difference I the world.
Good deal, on both!

In the historic park of Bredeneek Castle located, the gatehouse was formerly the management of associated goods. Later, the conversion into a house and completely restored in 2007 took place was a spacious apartment on the ground floor on the left. A master bedroom with a small bathroom, a guest room and a large bedroom with bunk beds and a sofa bed offer a total of 8-10 people a place to sleep.
Castle Bredeneek, including Castle Park, stud farm, gardening and agriculture tells the story of the Hamburg merchant, Mr. Conrad Hinrich Donner, who in 1830 laid the foundation of the ensemble. The charm could be preserved to this day because of the existing historic preservation. The office building is situated in the stately parks, on the terrace of the apartment facing south you can enjoy the wonderful view. The kitchen offers an ideal place for extensive culinary evenings by the fireplace, which separates this area from Wohnraumt and also ensures there for comforting mood.
The manor Bredeneek is the ideal base to explore from there the charm of Holstein Switzerland with your incomparable country life. Approximately 20 minutes from the seaside resorts are swimming trips offer just as canoeing on the Schwentine that paves behind the castle park your way through the pristine landscape. Surrounded by various stud farms there is the possibility of long rides or long walks through the beautiful countryside, visiting historic estates, museums and tours of the keel in 15 minutes. For culinary delights offers further afield excellent cuisine in beautiful surroundings.
We were a family of 5 spending a week exploring the Kiel, Luebeck, and Hamburg areas. We found the home suited nearly all our needs and had a very smooth rental process. The fireplace was a treat for us, as well as all the toys and games for young children. This home would be perfect for a family with young children! The home is beautifully surrounded by woods and is very quiet. We appreciated the washing machine as well, and the home was stocked with basics upon arrival. Many thanks for a lovely Herbstferien!
Wir haben 7 schöne Tage in der Wohnung verbracht. Sie ist gut ausgestattet und wir haben ein paar Accessoires wie z.B. Kerzen mitgenommen und haben es uns heimelig gemacht.
Zwei Wochen haben wir, 2 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder, im alten Torhaus verbringen dürfen und wir waren alle sehr zufrieden. Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig und sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Es war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Die Kinder haben sich besonders über die vielen Spiele und das Spielzeug sowie den grossen Park gefreut, wir Erwachsene über die tolle Kaffeemaschine. Vom Park aus kann man schöne Spaziergänge unternehmen. Gut Bredeneek ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Wir waren oft am schönen Ostseestrand, aber auch in Kiel und Hamburg. Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub!

my squeak disapeared months ago, never came back. kind of weird considering i had it for months. i just ry to keep the window clean before sending it down.
mine very rarley squeaks now, in fact I haven't heard it in a while.. but I'm getting wind noise now I looked at that triangle thing and at the top it ripped open pretty good. When I roll the window all the way up it spreads it appart and there's a visable crack on the outside I tried pressing it back together but it only helps for a few minutes
Think I could get it replaced under warranty? It really sucks having to get warranty work done though cause I have to either get up at 5:00am to get it there early enugh or I have to leave my car there over night so they can fix it in the morning.. and it's a good 2 hour drive to get there, so that makes 8 hours of driving in traffic just to get something little fixed
absolutely.Originally posted by MainFrame
Think I could get it replaced under warranty
Yup, min started squeeking a month or so after I got the car, but not is doesn't squeek is SCREAMS everytime I roll up the window. Same thing with the passenger window. It's so embarrasing.Originally posted by rexwagon
I put high-temp synthetic grease on the inside of that triangular boot. Worked great... for about 2 days. Now it sqeaks longer and louder than it did before. What have I done?!? I guess I'm doomed to having to keep putting grease on it forever.
When I lube it, it goes away for about 1 day, then comes back. I'm NOT going to lube it every single day.

My windows squeek every now and then.
I just do want to point out, I had a Ford ZX2, which has the same type of door design. I had the windows down one, and closed the door. Ever since I did that, the windows would squeek. It annoyed the hell out of me, because it was painfully loud! Sorry for the guy who paid $2500 to take the nearly ready to fall apart car! HEHE!
I have some issues with my dealer, which I'm going to take up when I bring it in for my 2nd service check... They're going to catch hell for a few things!

My car got broken into this last Saturday at the dealership. They broke the driver side window. I got a new window and now it doesn't squeak.
Expensive but it worked
I did not read this whole thread so this might have been said already, but if you RainX or Accuvision (made by Castrol) the inside and outside of the window the squek will go away, at least mine did, and like TypeC said, it screamed both on the way down and the way up, has been fine for over a week now.

I've got some Gunk Silicone spray that I bought a few years ago for a couple of squeaky windows in my house. I'm pretty sure it cost only a few $ at Home Depot, but didn't help very much (those windows open horizontally and weigh 25-50 lbs.). I'll have to try it on my WRX after the next time I wash it. It's so dirty now that I try not to open the windows because I don't want the sand/dirt to scratch the glass or get inside the door. Boy I miss those 60+ days back in January.
Mine started after about 500 miles. my buddy's started around the same. Brought it to the dealer, who said they "cleaned" it and that solved the problem. for like one day. so i screamed at the service mgr, brought it back, and sure enough, they said i need a "gusset". they ordered it and they installed it yesterday when i went in for oil change. so far so good. btw, i don't know why anywone would go to to trouble of trying to fix this themselves, when it's covered under the warranty!
The dealer told me the "warranty doesn't cover noises" when I tried to get them to fix a rattling sound coming from the strut on tight low speed turns. They replaced the left strut at 500 miles, and when the other strut starting making the noise at 1200 miles, they balked. With this attitude, I didn't even want to waste my time with a window squeak that doesn't have dire consequences like potential suspension failure.
I've had the infamous window squeak for a few hundred miles now and I only have 2500 miles on the car. Only the driver's window gets it. I got used to it but DAMN is it loud. I'm gonna complain till they fix it under warranty the next time I got in for the oil change.
I noticed the squaaaak! usually happens the day after it rains. Since it's winter now, I have to wait until a spring day when we get rain instead of snow to see if it happens again.

You are very beautiful, Cricket! Your eyes look so vibrant, it's difficult to imagine that you don't see well.
Cricket has a problem with the shape of her corneas that causes there to be burning to the cones and rods in her eyes. So when she's in the sunlight it's like she has a magnifying glass to the back of her eyes, and after eighteen years that's taken a toll on her eyesight. We noticed it when she was a few years old, where quick movements of toys wouldn't quite register with her very well (whereas she would have been right on it before), and when she failed the eye exam at the vet's and they did a bunch of testing to find out what was going on. : But if this wasn't affecting her, she'd have perfect eyes!

By TOMI L. WILEYSpecial to The Wilson Post
MT. JULIET -- The condition of the state trooper critically injured in a still puzzling wreck on Monday which shut down I-40 for hours has been upgraded to stable, officials said Tuesday.
At approximately 12:10 p.m. Monday, Trooper Wendall Reagan, 42, was traveling east on I-40 in his SUV patrol unit when he was involved in a one vehicle roll over crash in the median at mile marker 228, in Mt. Juliet, near the Providence area.
Reagan was transported by Wilson Emergency Management Agency to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in critical condition. THP investigators in the Nashville District and with the THP Critical Incident Response Team (C.I.R.T.) responded to the scene and continue to investigate the crash.
Investigators were looking for a white Chevy Suburban or GMC Yukon believed to have stopped and assisted the officer after the accident. Sgt. Stacey Heatherly of THP said Tuesday that officials had located the white vehicle from Monday's crash with Reagan on I-40 in Wilson County. The driver of that vehicle contacted THP without hesitation and cooperated fully with the investigation. THP has concluded that the vehicle was not involved as a factor of the crash, but did provide witness information vital to the investigation.
Initial reports said that the trooper's SUV traveled through the median after leaving the roadway and hit a culvert. Reagan's supervisor, who was at VUMC on Tuesday morning, said Reagan's condition had been upgraded from critical to stable.
Reagan was commissioned with the THP in 2001. He is assigned to Overton County in the Cookeville District and serves in Special Programs, where he is responsible for the New Entrant Program which educates commercial vehicle carriers in rules and regulations.

Fairview business leaders propose plan to treat public inebriates
"No sell list" being consideredANCHORAGE –
Should chronic inebriates be banned from buying alcohol?
A Fairview business group says that could help curb a growing problem not just in their neighborhood, but all over Anchorage.
"We are getting emails daily from different businesses in town asking how they can help because people are tired of having to deal with this," said Heidi Heinrich, manager of the Lucky Wishbone Restaurant.
The restaurant has been located in Fairview for 50 years, but over time they've seen the neighborhood change, with more and more public inebriates. Heinrich says something needs to be done. Her group is proposing a comprehensive program that includes expanding treatment options.
"It starts out with the outreach and then detox, and the treatment and the job reentry and transitional housing," Heinrich said.
Just down the hill at Bean's Café, Development Director Staci Feger-Pellessier says the idea of providing more services would be welcome.
"Any more services that we can get that addresses substance abuse, we 100 percent support," Feger-Pellessier said.
But getting chronic inebriates used to living on the street to buy into treatment could be the biggest hurdle. If funding for the project is approved, longtime treatment center Akeela House will offer more beds, but CEO Roselie Nadeau says there is no guarantee they'll be filled.
"Treatment isn't a panacea," Nadeau said, who added that people can't be forced to go into it. "We can't say we've got treatment and these people will love to go in it. Not this population, they won't love to go into treatment."
The Fairview Business Association is lobbying the Legislature for funds.
So far a $5 million request is included in the capital budget recently passed by the Senate Finance Committee. Nadeau said she thinks programs are needed, but getting people to take part won't be easy.

In Vacation Under the Volcano, Jack and Annie go to the city of Pompeii to bring back an ancient story that is in danger of being lost forever. Little do they know they are saving the myth of Hercules! But before they can find it, the town's volcano erupts in a mighty explosion. Just when things look hopeless, Jack and Annie get some unexpected help from a certain mythic hero – and the rest, as they say, is history.
What was it like to be a gladiator? How many people died in the destruction of Pompeii? How did Roman children spend their days? Find out the answers to these questions and more in Ancient Rome and Pompeii: A Nonfiction Companion to Vacation Under the Volcano
Students can mount a campaign to get others to agree with their opinion on a topic they are passionate about. Encourage them to make posters, flyers, or write a short speech that could persuade others to agree with their opinion.
Many modern conveniences such as roads, baths, and numerals are a result of what the Romans developed. Have students identify a gift from the Romans and wrap a picture or facsimile of the gift in a package. Put the gifts on a table and have students randomly select a Roman gift and write a thank-you note, explaining how that gift is used today and why it is so useful.
As with any group, there were famous Romans, some for the good they did and some for their evil deeds. Have students "become" one of the Roman gods, goddesses, or human beings and give a biographical talk including their name, special achievements, how their acts helped or hurt others, and how they should be remembered. After hearing each speech, have the class vote the Roman into either the Hall of Fame or the Hall of Shame.
Much of the information about Pompeii comes from archeological digs. Set up a simulated dig featuring artifacts from the classroom. Collect small items and parts of items that represent classroom activities—e.g., a section of a pencil, a small eraser, a paperclip, a part of a crayon, a marker top, etc. Fill a large box with dirt and place the objects at various depths and areas/spaces within the dirt. Let students sift through the dirt using spoons, flour sifters, etc. to find the objects in the dirt. Remind them to be very careful about what they find, so as not to destroy the item. They then write a description for each of the items found for a museum display of classroom artifacts. If you set up several digs, collect materials from other sites (kitchen, playground, etc.), and challenge readers to identify the site and what happens at that location.

Last month, I sat down with Bobby Gens Ace to take a look at the man behind the name. This week, as promised, I present to you readers an interview I had with our very own NitroGirlz, Nancy and Leana! Originally, I was planning to just email them questions and have them reply back since we're entering the busy holiday season and they're incredibly busy, but they let me know they could spare a few minutes in their busy schedule to actually sit down and talk with me. Who was I to refuse spending time with these two beautiful ladies?
Hello Nancy and Leana, thank you for take the time today to sit down and talk with me. Why don't you introduce yourselves to our readers tell us a little bit about your roles at HobbyPartz and affiliated websites.
Nancy: Hi, I'm Nancy and I currently work in the marketing department, but I actually started my time here in customer service. My supervisor noticed how well I interacted with customers during my first holiday season working here and recommended me for a promotion into the marketing department. Now I'm responsible for event donations and maintaining a presence on RC forums. I also handle our charity drives and other giveaways and community giveback programs. Our local community has been really good to us and we try to do whatever we can to show our appreciation and give back (HobbyPartz RC News/Articles section : RC news/Articles on right hand side).
Leana: Hi, I'm Leana. I started with order processing, but got promoted into my current position in marketing a little over a year ago. My main duty involves handling most of the social media we do, like Facebook for example. I take care of most of the promotions and announcements on our Facebook fan pages and manage the content uploaded on a daily basis. I also observe fan interactions on our fan pages and work directly with our designers to come up with enjoyable tidbits for our fans to enjoy and bond over whenever they come onto our fan pages.
How is it working for an RC company? And how do you feel about the industry and the hobby itself.
Leana: It's funny you asked that/I'm glad you asked that. When I first started here, I was part of the order processing department. I didn't have any experience with the RC hobby and it was just a job. After about half a year, it was getting repetitive and I wanted more of a challenge, so I requested a transfer (promotion) to the marketing department and got it. After I transferred over, I started interacting directly with our products and fans. The new position exposed me to the enthusiasm of fans and honestly, I was quite surprised how passionate the RC community was. When I was doing processing orders that came in, I would be a bit surprised at how many came in every day, but never directly interacted with any customers, so it wasn't until I joined marketing that I grew an appreciation for not only the industry, but the hobby itself. So I took it upon myself to learn more about RCs by asking our pilots and drivers to teach me some of the things they knew and over time grew a love for the hobby, especially cars.
Nancy: It was kind of the same for me too. Back when I was just started in customer service, it was just a job to make some money while in college. In fact, the first thought that ran through my head was "Really? These aren't just toys for kids?", kind of like a toy store type thing, but the people I encountered in customer service were really passionate and dedicated to this hobby. I was quite surprised by how enthusiastic fans were about their hobby and how much time and money they were spending in building and tuning up their cars and planes. For example, a lot of our plane customers are veterans, and I grew to understand that there's more meaning to the hobby than just building and flying those planes. That's when I realized how strong the RC community really was. When I joined the marketing department I developed a stronger connection with the fans and an even greater appreciation for the hobby.
So how was it that NitroGirlz came into being?
Nancy: Officially, we made the public announcement at last year's RCX expo, but the idea came a bit before that. When we first started working in marketing, we noticed that our product promotion team consisted of the pilots and drivers only, and we wanted to help them out; to improve and the quality of the content and just provide support for them in general. We also noticed that there were no female figures in the industry and we wanted to do something about that.
Leana: Yeah, we started out with doing some fun photo shoots. When management saw some of the pictures we took, they really liked them and gave us the go ahead to do more. We acted as models for a few of the videos and photo shoots with RC planes and from there, we kind of just became…a group. Haha.
Nancy: It was really fun! We became "official" and made a Facebook page and after a bit, we couldn't even add any more friends, so we started a new fan page instead so more people could follow us (NitroGirlz on Facebook). We even got some shirts made for the girls of the group! Now, we make sure to represent the NitroGirlz at any events we go to! As a little extra perk, some of the design guys made some cool NitroGirlz body kits and gave us our own cars to play with. I am a professional S107 only pilot but anything after a 3 Ch. the pilots restrict me from flying. Apparently, I tend to be accident prone. I am currently practicing on our Flight Simulator so I can be just as good as Antonio and Tony. But I personally enjoy the rc cars because of the speed. Leana and I would go outside to play with our cars on our 10 minute breaks.
Leana: She still breaks every car.
Nancy: Haha, yeah I do, but each one lasts longer than the one before!
So you guys mentioned earlier that you both like cars a lot? What's your favorite one?
Nancy: Well, we actually both started out with the S-107 3 channel helicopter. We experimented with each type of RC and landed on cars. My favorite car is the 1/8th Mad Beast Monster Truck. Drift cars are fun too but since they're on-road cars I can't drive that on the gravel and dirt, I prefer the off road cars. Rock crawlers and monster trucks on the other hand, are fun to use to go over curbs and rocks and obstacle courses we set up at work.
Leana: Yeah I think I like rock crawlers the best too, for the same reasons. Actually, I still want to learn how to fly planes, when <loudly> Antonio decides to finally teach us (Antonio, one of our on hand pilots, had walked by the room we were in just that second…he smiled).
Tell me more about your experience with fans. What's the coolest thing a fan has done for you?
Leana: Hmm…fan experiences. We have many great fans out there but one fan that we got really close is with Justin Daily. He was our first memorable fan, and Nancy and I became really close to him. He would always post on our wall and fan pages, and messaged us on private message.
Nancy: Leana, remember the time with his baby?
Leana: Haha yeah, I was about to get to that! So last year, when he had a newborn baby, Nancy and I made a video congratulating him and his wife and posted it directly to his wall. He was really happy and thankful about that. We had given him a NitroPlanes shirt before, and he wore it in the delivery room. It was pretty cool, so we had another one sent over to him for little baby Jaxton and he posted up some pictures of the baby wearing it. It was too big for him, but it was so cute!
Nancy: Another thing that's a bit more general, while it doesn't have a super cool story like with Justin, is just fans recognizing us when we attend events. Originally, Leana and I just started NitroGirlz for fun, but it turns out that when we go to these events people actually know us! It caught us by surprise for quite a while!
So obviously, a lot of fans show up at events, since we talked about daily interactions with fans, let's talk more about event experiences. What was your guys' best event experience? What did you guys like about it?
Nancy: Well my favorite event was the RCX expo from last year.
Leana: Yeah that event was the first time we were able to meet our facebook fans face to face. A couple of them came up to say hi to us, which was really cool. Just being able to interact with our customers was a great experience. We got to work with some of our amazing designers to plan and organize our booth beforehand which was really fun. We also got to watch some of the attendees fly their helis and drive their cars on the courses set up inside the convention center. That typically doesn't happen in that large of a scale at trade shows like this.
Nancy: Actually I have fun simply talking to the fans. I remember the Heli Freak Fun Fly. We went around pass out banners, stickers, and coupons and a lot of fans didn't just grab the freebies and walk off, but stuck around and talked with us, which I thought was really sweet and cool. Some have told me they were surprised that we stuck around and talked with them because I guess not many retailer representatives stop and talk with their customers and fans.
Leana: To me, putting a face to a name is the best part of these events. I mean, we interact daily with fans, sponsors, etc. That's our job, but obviously most of it is through emails and phone calls. We don't get to see like 90% of the people we talk to. So when we go to events, we actually get to see the people we communicate with daily. It's pretty cool and I think I enjoy that the most about fan interactions.
Don't you guys see that pretty much every week at the office and at other events?
Leana: It's different at the RCX expo. It was just regular people driving and flying, not like at the office or at events where the drivers and pilots are professionals or sponsored. In a way, it was more fun to watch people like you and me..well..definitely better than me (haha) take some of our sample RCs and play them on the courses and airspaces set up in the convention center. Some of the hardcore enthusiasts would bring their own RCs to the show and drive on the courses with some of the pros in attendance, or race with each other.
Well, thank you for your time Leana and Nancy. Is there anything you'd like to say to the readers and your fans?
Nancy: Hmm, I don't thinks so really. We talked for quite a bit haha. I guess thanks to all you readers and fans. Please make sure to come to the AMA (Academy of Modern Aeronautics) show on Jan 11-13 and say hi to us if you're in the area! And I hope to see you all at our events!
Leana: Yeah, thanks for supporting us! Keep following us on fan pages and like our NitroGirlz fan page and look out for our deals and promotions as well! Also feel free to just leave messages saying "hi" if you like. We really appreciate those tiny (as well as long) messages.
Well, thank you for reading, and thank you to our two lovely NitroGirlz Nancy and Leana for taking the time to sit down and have a chat with me. I hope you all enjoyed reading this little interview. The next interview in this series won't be for a bit since the Christmas season is starting and I'll probably have some other responsibilities I'll have to tend to, plus that project I've been working on…you know, the one drawing me away from blogging…is going to be released pretty soon, so it'll be pretty busy holiday season! The next interview should be with Antonio (the pilot that smiled). From what I've seen and what the girls have told me, he's quite the popular guy in the RC scene. Hopefully he'll have the time to fit me into his busy schedule. Until next time, happy holidays!

The ipod 80GB classic holds my entire music collection and more. Uncomplicated interface. 'nuff said.

Cantaloupe99's recommendation
My first gen iPod finally shuffled off the electronic coil and I was forced to choose a new one. If you're a serious music cat, there is really no choice other than the Classic. Sure the others are smaller and come in shiny colors and let you touch them. But this is about walking around with your entire music collection in your pocket. That was the original promise and that's why you're here. How bout some love for the Classic?
hapa_lee's recommendation
I got this iPod about 2 years ago and it's been the best one yet. Holds all my music, has a great battery life, great clarity for video/movie watching and sturdy. I love this iPod and carry it pretty much everywhere I go.

I never really bought into the ipod hype. I got one for Christmas a couple years ago, but I had honestly never even touched it. I opened the box kinda looked at it, and had very little interest in it after that. THEN. My CD player in my car died. And my warranty was no more, so it was either pay Another three hundred for a new CD player for my car, or just hook up my ipod and listen to all my CDs regardless of my expired warranty or not. I chose the ipod, lol. Its easy to manage, but I do hate having Itunes on my computer so I bought an external drive and run everything from there. I have an 80gig in the silver finish. and I love it. No need for CDs, just make a new play list! Perfect for roadtrips, plane flights, waiting around in lines wherever, anywhere and everywhere.The new ones even have games on them. Not a bad investment. Especially for an avid music collector. ;)
SchoolofStyle's recommendation
Keep the music and podcasts going in your car all day with a packed iPod. Its a stylist must have.

Tommy Johnson, the Crossroads, and Robert Johnson.
You all know the Crossroads story. Robert Johnson goes to the crossroads and sells his soul to the devil to become the greatest guitar player in the world. Thanks to a lot of misinformation this myth abounds. Only the original myth wasn't about Robert Johnson at all! It was about Tommy Johnson (a fact that the movie O Brother Where Art Thou amazingly got correct!).
A quick note before I go on: How to sell your soul at the Crossroads:
Go to the crossroads (and it really is ANY crossroads, not a specific one) and stand in the middle of the intersection at midnight and play your best guitar. Someone (the devil) will come up to you from behind as you play. He will tap you on the shoulder. Without looking you hand your guitar to him over your back. He plays a few notes on the guitar and then hands it back to you. Congrats, you have sold your soul to the devil. Oh, and you still aren't great. You have to continue to practice, but you will excel at an unbelievable rate, blah blah blah.
Anyway, around 1911 or so at about 15 years old Tommy Johnson wasn't a great guitar player at all. He left his home in Mississippi and traveled. In his travels he met Charlie Patton and Willie Brown, who tutored him on the guitar. When he finally went back to Miss. he was not only significantly better on the guitar thanks to the tutiledge of Charlie Patton, but he also no longer sang religious songs, but sang the Blues (aka The Devil's Music). He also drank a lot too. All of this together made for a very different person than the boy who left Miss., and led to the rumors of him selling his soul to the devil for his new skills on the guitar, and the reason for him now playing "The Devils Music". So that's the Crossroads story. The story of selling your soul to the devil for riches, etc. is an old Hoodoo tale and can be traced back all the way to Africa.
Robert Johnson: Born in Miss. and moved to Memphis when he was 3. He stayed there till he was about 18 or so, and met Charlie Patton and Willie Brown when they travelled there, as well as Blind Lemon Jefferson when he traveled to Memphis, and met him again in Texas when he (Johnson) traveled there too. They taught him music. In 1930, Robert's wife and baby died during childbirth. It was a few months later when Son House and Willie Brown came to Robinsonville, where Johnson was living. Robert followed Son House and Willie Brown around wanting to play with them, but he was really bad, and so they wouldn't let him play with them. They did give him lessons here and there every now and then. In 1931 he moves back to Hazlehurst, MIss., reportedly to try to find his father. In Hazlehurst he meets a guitar player named Ike Zimmerman (or Zinnerman, either spelling seems to be OK). For about a year Ike gives Robert Lessons, and he practices night and day, all the time. At night he hangs out in a local cemetary and plays in the graveyard so that he doesn't disturb anyone else with his playing in the middle of the night. He then returns to the Clarksdale and Robinsonville areas in 1993 a MUCH better musician. This was surprising to everyone, to say the least, often mystifying. How could a kid who was so aweful dissapear for a year and then come back and play BETTER than his former teachers?

The septum is the cartilage and bone that divides the nostrils. If the septum is deviated, it means that the wall in not aligned properly and may be dividing the nostrils unevenly. Some sources suggest that up to 80% of the population have a septum that is not centered, but this is only a problem when the septum is deviated far enough to cause bothersome symptoms. Small deviations usually require no treatment, as they do not cause noticeable symptoms.

What Causes a Deviated Septum?

Several things can cause a deviated septum. It can be due to a birth defect such as cleft lip or cleft palate. Other causes include injury, such as a broken nose or damage from previous medical treatments.

Symptoms of a Deviated Septum

difficulty breathing

congestion

frequent  nosebleeds

sinus infections

facial pain

headaches

post-nasal drip

How Is a Deviated Septum Treated?

A deviated septum can be surgically repaired with a procedure called a septoplasty. The extensive nature of this surgery depends on the defect and whether or not other surrounding structures are involved. The cleft can commonly be affected as well as the maxillary sinuses. Maxillary fistulas, abnormal passageways between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity, are not uncommon with deviated septum and can be repaired simultaneously.

The surgery involves cutting away damaged portions of the septum and removing or realigning them. To avoid the need to make an incision, the procedure is usually done through the nostrils. The surgeon may use splints or packing to keep the tissue in place while it heals.

A septoplasty can be performed in a doctor's office (mild cases) or hospital, and some people may be able to have same-day procedures. Prior to surgery, your doctor or nurse will give you information about when to stop eating (usually after midnight the day of surgery) and what medications you can or cannot take prior to the surgery. Medications with blood thinning properties, such as aspirin, usually need to be discontinued well in advance.

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > DE > Tommy Blake
Tommy Blake Scouting Report
|TCU Horned Frogs
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'3 - 252 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Tommy Blake, DE, TCU
Blake, a converted high school tailback, has been a disturbing force on the TCU D-line since his red-shirt freshman year. He made the All Conference USA freshman squad in 2004. In 2005 Blake was named MWC Defensive Player of the Year by collegefootballnews.com; he also made first team All-MWC. But his break through year was 2006 when he led the MWC in tackles for loss with 16.5. He was named first team All Conference and capped off his season with an impressive performance against Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl, where he recorded two sacks for minus 20 yards. He was named the game's Defensive Most Valuable Player. He played in only seven games - starting six - for TCU in 2007 due to an undisclosed injury. He had eleven solo tackles and six assisted, with seven tackles for loss. Blake is a natural speed rusher. He is well built for the position; although his frame is slight by position standard, he has room to grow. A four year starter, he has developed the necessary instincts to play the position on the next level. His speed, 4.70, allows him to explode off the line and he regularly beats his opponent outside. He is very agile and changes direction smoothly. He is instinctive and quick to locate the ball. He also has multiple pass rushing moves and has range to track ball carriers all over the field. There are two major concerns with Blake. His lack of ideal bulk and upper-body strength may limit his initial contribution to pass rushing situations only. But the biggest issue facing Blake is the sense that he does not care enough. He needs to better explain the "undisclosed injury" situation that sidelined him for several games and the perceived idea that he is not fully committed to the game. Blake needed to hit a home run at the East-West Shrine Game in order to recuperate his first or second round slot (which on talent alone, he should have). But he did the opposite. He came in clearly overweight and in poor condition, then he left the game with an ankle injury which only emphasized to scouts the fragile nature of his health and desire. At this moment, the talented Blake will probably slip past the fourth round. A tremendous slide for such a talented player.
