My Review:
So as this thread stated, I purchased a pair of Morimoto D2S 4300k headlight bulbs and as promised here's a quick overview of what I've found. Note my car is a facelift 330xi with AL headlights, completely stock. I have allowed these bulbs to break in for two weeks or ~50 hours.
- The color match is great, 4300k color is spot on and both bulbs are the same color.
- First shipment came in with a broken ceramic rod. TRS fixed this problem quickly and sent me a replacement. Props to them for the great service.
- Brightness is terrible. Seriously, these are no brighter (maybe even less bright) than the 8.5 year old OEM bulbs the car rolled off the assembly line with. I honestly expected a noticeable increase in brightness but I was very disappointed.
Overall, if I were to do this again I wouldn't buy them and I'd just get the Philips ones only because of the brightness. But most of you already knew that.
I think I might still just get the Philips ones and throw these away, the brightness is seriously that disappointing.

Thanks! I'm glad I'm not experiencing straw-like dry hair, post henna my hair hasn't been it's usual softness, yet still soft. The only issue I'm having a problem with post henna is frizz. Someone else suggested a Cherry Lola treatment and perhaps I'll give that a go. I've also been using "finishers" such as CJ Curls in a Bottle to help combat the frizz which is an added step but has been somewhat beneficial ...Hmmm. My hair doesn't like strong protein. Henna acts like a protein treatment. And Coconut milk treatments make my hair feel like pure straw. It took my hair weeks of dcing to recover the three times I tried coconut milk before I hung it up. If I mixed the two and added coconut oil I would be singing the protein overload blues. I suggest you cowash every day with something that doesn't have protein. That is the only way my hair bounces back.Thank you both! :-) I'm still suffering though, I mixed the henna with coconut oil olive oil coconut milk and tresemme naturals conditioner ... After that I DC-ed with KBB luscious locks hair mask and then co washes and oil rinsed and still frizz city ... The color pay off is good and my hair feels strong but I mean I've neverrrr experienced such frizz. Right now I have it pulled back in a low loose bun with one of those donut things...
Jamila henna gave me the frizziest hair. I noticed some loosening and the bright red dye was just a bit too much over for me over time.
The Rajasthani mixed with some cheap conditioner gave me the best color and soft hair. Too bad I'm lazy or I would start using henna again.
...i'm supersonic
Anything else you all have tried or should I just wait it out? maybe steaming?
In other news : big hit this Shea moisture BOGO sale (I needed consoling) :-)
Hit: Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner, when I initially tried this back when I first BCed it was rather thick and i don't think my hair liked it as much as the Hibiscus line... super happy I revisited this with the BOGO sale. As a leave in my hair was soft and retained moisture nicely

Scion Whistler Report Ep. 7
I had planned on writing some of this along the way during my roadtrip, but as it turns out I'm sitting across from the ocean in sunny Long Beach California and will give you a brief update from a few thousand kms away. I didn't want to imply I was somewhere I wasn't, so this is more a summary of happenings than me doing things in Whistler!
Callum Jelley in orange and Jim Montrose in red enjoy a recently smoothed and sculpted B Line.
The big news in the park this week is the opening of Garbanzo on Thursday. Yep – yesterday. Blue Velvet is going to be the go to Upper Mountain trail, with sections of freight train and the rest of the trails below Creekside Gondola having been open for the past week or so for those willing to go for a walk up the access road. Brian Finestone promises cool, wet, and muddy conditions, and probably some really big snowbanks along the trail on the top. So cut up an old tube for some ghetto fender action, put a healthy dose of lube on the chain and go check it out. No-stopping top to bottom laps are pretty much the best thing to do in the park, go get some!
Last week saw the second Phat Wednesday go off with a fun course down Upper A-line, After Atlantis, Crabapple Turns, World Cup Singletrack, and Ho Chi Min. In both the Men's and Masters categories we saw repeat winners from the week before as both James Dodds (Open Men) and Mathieu Hebert (Masters) took the victories. In the Women's category it was Casey Brown besting a really close race besting second and third place by less than 2 seconds. In the Juniors in was Zander Geddes with the win.
Freshly buttered berm.
The 2nd annual Pumptrack Challenge will take place Friday July 8 in the evening, and judging by the looks of the course, I'm really sad I'm not going to be back in time to take part. The mens and womens winners will both gain entry into the marquis pumptrack event during crankworx. Looks like the format will run 'Jam' style; 2 heats of 30 minutes where riders will have a chance to post their fastest one lap time. The 4 fastest times then go head to head in the semi-finals with a best of 3 run format till we get to the finals. Should be some good racing on a big track which should provide a lot more opportunities for jumping and margin for error, and recovery, than last years course. The finals will also be best of 3 lap format, hope your fitness is good, this course is gonna be a long one!
If you're in Whistler tonight, and a WORCA member, head down to Function Junction, and join the Chromag crew for a ride on some sweet Riverside trails, and then check out sweet Chromag bikes at the 6th Annual Show and Shine apres. The all-womens Betty vs. Veronica event is totally sold out at this point, with 180 ladies signing up in less than a week. That being said, if you didn't get in in time it doesn't take place until the end of August, so you can still get on the waiting list. If past events are any indication, people will either get injured, or I guess for the ladies pregnant, and there could be spots opening up. The next WORCA trail day is July 9, and the fine folks at Bear Back Biking will be hosting. Looks like they're planning on doing some much needed work on Shit Happens in Emerald. Trail gnomes should meet at 9am at the pullout on the north side of highway 99 just past the new Rainbow Subdivision. Come out and give a bit back to the trails!
B Line. Do it chainless. Of course.
A few weeks back I mentioned that BC Parks was going to be soliciting feedback on South Chilcotins Provincial Park, they've posted the new link where you can submit trip reports for your rides up in that area. You can find that here. It's pretty important that you take a moment to submit a report for any trips you've done, Parks will be using this as a way to assess the use in the area and start updating the management plans. This area is extremely important for riders and really an incredible gem and asset for riding in the Sea to Sky Corridor. There are some in that area that would like to see riding restricted, so lets be proactive on this and show them that we really care about the area. In trail news from that area, the southchilcotin.ca site is reporting that the wildflowers are in full bloom at Spruce Lake, although anything higher in elevation likely is very snowed in still. Access is likely up gun creek trail. Be bear aware if you do venture that way, with the snowpack the way it is, big hungry griz are probably down along the creek and in Gun Meadows.
Roomy banked corners to enjoy with friends.
I also noticed some pics on the Bike Co. Blog of the Della Trail south of Lillooet being in fine shape, Brad Holmes snapped some sweet pics, so you should check them out here. Lee Lau has written about this ride before, and while it's remote and a long drive from anywhere, it's worth it. Lillooet could use the tourism, so maybe fill a truck, go camp up there for the weekend, buy a bunch of stuff in town and have a blast!
I think I'm am going to call it good for this abbreviated Whistler Report. Hope that you have plans to ride some sweet trails this long weekend, and that you guys get some sun. I had to leave town to find it in Oregon and Southern California, and it is sweet, although we did get snowed on pretty heavily at 10,000 feet in Yosemite National Park yesterday! Till next week, happy trails.
Have you sampled Garbo yet? Any Whistler gems to share? You know what to do…

Cop Is Back In The Cage
An Omaha police officer will spend most of the weekend behind bars... for a good cause.
Officer Kevin Wiese is inside a cage near the big Christmas tree at Village Pointe. "The little kids like to come up and see the officer in the cage," said Wiese. "They think it's funny."
This is the 3rd "Cage A Cop" for Officer Wiese. His goal is to raise $5000 for Special Olympics. He'll be in the cage until 6pm Sunday.

Hangover Cures—Do They Work?
Learn what common foods may help fight your hangover.
Everyone knows someone who absolutely swears by a greasy egg sandwich from the corner diner to erase the symptoms of a hangover—but the only proven way to get rid of a hangover is to wait it out. (Hangovers usually last for 8 to 24 hours.) That said, some commonly touted hangover cures—while not proven effective—are worth a try if you're truly in pain.

This exploratory descriptive study sought to investigate teachers' efficacy beliefs among agriculture science student teachers in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Specifically, the study explored student teachers' efficacy beliefs in terms of student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The study also attempted to explain the relationships between student teachers' backgrounds variables and teachers' sense of efficacy beliefs. The study showed that general teacher efficacy beliefs among UPM agriculture science student teachers was high (Mean=4.15, SD. =.33). Male student teachers were found to have a significantly higher general teacher efficacy beliefs than female students teachers (t (79) = 2.20, p=.031). Experienced student teachers were more efficacious than student teachers who have no experience at all (t (79) = 3.072, p=.003). Age correlated significantly with general teacher efficacy belief (r=.51, p <.01). Significant correlations were also found between CGPA and general teacher efficacy belief (r=.31, p <.01)

No Spare Tire?
September 29th, 2016
Believe it or not, many new vehicles come without a spare tire. Manufacturers have a few different reasons for that, including weight savings, space efficiency, and cost. When you're stuck by the side of the road, though, none of that really matters much, does it?
Instead, these vehicles come equipped with an inflation kit and/or a can of sealant.
Sealant is a gooey substance in an aerosol can that's designed to coat the inside of the tire due to centrifugal force once you get rolling again, hopefully sealing the puncture. These products, such as Fix-A-Flat, have been on the market for decades and tend to work pretty well on a minor puncture. They're not a permanent fix, however. Your speed should be limited after using ...[more]

Things To Look For When Buying a Used Car
September 15th, 2016
Buying a used car is somewhat less of a crapshoot than it was at one time. You can get detailed information on a vehicle's history via the CARFAX report, and a technician can use onboard diagnostics to get a good picture of what's going on under the hood and what problems might be coming up.
It's always a good idea to get a mechanic to look over any prospective purchase, but there are things you can get a look at yourself before you spend the money for a professional inspection. These are things which will give you a pretty good idea of the kind of use and maintenance a vehicle has seen before you got it.
-- Put your head against a fender and sight down the side of the vehicle with one eye. Look out for ripples or ...[more]

Hard times weigh heavily on Iranians on New Year's holiday
By Yeganeh Torbati
DUBAI (Reuters) - These should be prosperous days for Ali Pasha, who owns a tourism company in Dubai that arranges holidays for those seeking a break in the sunny Gulf emirate.
The Iranian New Year on Wednesday, called Nowruz, is typically a time when tens of thousands of Iranians, Pasha's main customers, cross the Gulf to enjoy the city's glitzy hotels, luxury shopping and many beaches.
But the number of Iranian tourists heading for Dubai's shores has slowed significantly this year, and in between answering phone calls and smoking a cigarette in his office on a recent afternoon, Pasha sounded exasperated.
"For Dubai, Iranian tourists used to be very important," he said. "Now they have lost their importance."
He and other local travel agents estimate they have seen a 40 percent drop in the number of Iranian customers compared to last year.
Iranians' purchasing power has decreased following a halving of the value of the rial against the dollar, due largely to several rounds of U.S. and European sanctions over Iran's nuclear program. Some Iranians say they can no longer afford foreign plane tickets, hotel stays and visa fees as a result.
Iran's most important holiday, Nowruz is rooted in ancient Zoroastrian culture and marked by large family gatherings, gifts for children, vacations and spring cleaning (called "house shaking" in Persian).
But Nowruz this year caps 12 months of high inflation and unemployment and comes with no sign of an end to Western sanctions on Iran's energy and banking sectors that have halved the country's oil exports and made it difficult to conduct trade, even in items not banned by the West. Continued...

More than 200 apartments, cafes, a supermarket, pubs and offices are planned for the site.
Rhyl includes some of the most deprived areas in Wales, and the scheme is part of ongoing investment in the resort.
Denbighshire's full council will now consider the Ocean Beach plan, when a final decision will be made.
The local authority's planning officers had recommended the scheme for the West End of the town for approval, subject to conditions.
The proposed £85m scheme put forward by Manchester company Modus Properties includes apartments, offices and a hotel, but not the historic funfair.
The redevelopment is also offering affordable housing and a conference centre.
The company says the project would have a continental feel with an urban park and a modern boulevard. They believe it would be a landmark development in the future of the town.
Development Director Damian Flood said: "We are very pleased to have overcome this first planning hurdle.
"There is still a long way to go and we will now start preparing for the referral to the Welsh Assembly Government.
"However, we are still happy with the significant step forward the scheme has taken. With everything going to plan, we should be on site by the end of 2007."
Town councillor Ian Armstrong said the development would change Rhyl's image for good.
"I think it's a good thing, not only for Rhyl West, the whole of Rhyl will benefit from it . "Rhyl West and the whole of Rhyl is on the up, there's no doubt about it," he said.
John Povah, a retired fisherman who lives in the area, said: "Anything's got to be better.
"This new complex could make a huge difference to the West End."
But some people who cater for the tourists attracted by the promenade say the town will lose out and the new scheme offers little for visitors.

Online reports are swirling that Season 7 of "The Voice" will see another new face, in addition to the introduction of Pharrell Williams. With the recent pregnancy of superstar Christina Aguilera, the original coach is reportedly taking Season 7 off to tend to the bun in the oven (and likely getting married to her new fiance).
The Wrap reports that Gwen Stefani is in talks with the hit NBC competition show to call a red swivel chair her own. Meanwhile, Adam and Blake are expected to return to their respective chairs, joining Pharrell and Gwen for Season 7. Christina, on the otherhand, is reportedly returning for the show's 8th season.
NBC has yet to release an official statement.

One advantage to being a sensitive singer-songwriter in Utah: When you make a music video, you can throw a bed in the middle of the Utah desert and — BAM! — instant visual metaphor.
That's what Park City-based singer-songwriter Robyn Cage has done with her new single, "Burning Now," released today.
Cage is a Salt Lake City native and actress who was living in New York when started songwriting in 2009, recording an EP, "Raining Sideways" (under her other stage name, Robyn Kemp).
Cage recorded the single, "Burning Now," with producer Derryl Neudorf, who has worked with such artists as Neko Case and Sarah MacLachlan. In May, she went to Los Angeles to record more songs with producer Dan Burns, for an EP, "Tales of a Thief," due out in September.

Banks' bounce aids European shares rebound
A return to form by Europe's banks helped the continent's shares recover yesterday with data pointing to potentially stronger global growth driving demand for equities.
The FTSEurofirst 300 closed up 13.82 points, or 1.2 per cent, at 1,162.10.
A narrowing trade deficit in the US and data overnight showing growing demand for Chinese exports nurtured hope that the global economy will strengthen.
Meanwhile, European Union leaders ended a bout of uncertainty by reaching an agreement on the bloc's long-term spending plans after more than 24 hours of negotiations.
The eurozone blue chip index rose 1.3 per cent, finding support around its 200-week moving average (MA) at 2,616. The index has not closed below its 200-week MA since mid-December.
The brightening outlook for the global economy helped lift demand for miners, which rose one per cent, but it was the banks, up 2.8 per cent, which were the main drivers.
French bank Credit Agricole gained 6.9 per cent after brokerage Exane upgraded it to "outperform," citing the significant discount it trades at relative to peers.
Norwegian bank DNB rose 4.6 per cent, building on a seven per cent gain in the previous session after having delivered on its dividend promise, after UBS, Nomura and Credit Suisse produced upgrades on the stock.
The sector as a whole regained most of the losses of the past four days but found resistance around its 14-day moving average of 175.75.
While the broader FTSEurofirst 300 finished the session strongly, the index fell for the second week in succession, edging further away from two-year highs which is proving a tough resistance level.
"On a personal level if you are the man on the street would you be looking to buy into this move? It is a tough decision but if you believe in the macro data that we are seeing then things care coming together which will aid the recovery further," a London-based trader said.
Improving global data could help companies keep up with their recent reratings, which in terms of price-to-earnings ration (PE) of 12 times are now at post credit crises highs.
Heavyweight mobile telecoms firm Vodafone climbed 1.2 per cent after BofA Merrill Lynch upgraded the company to "buy" from "neutral" noting consensus earnings downgrades are slowing and could potentially of a merger or takeover in the future.
With PEs at multi-year highs companies are under pressure to meet expectations.
Fifty-six per cent of companies in Europe have so far met or beaten earnings expectations in the fourth quarter, although year-on-year fourth-quarter earnings have contracted 22.5 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters (TRS) data.

Unique Ford GT40 Race Set for 2013 Goodwood Revival
A groundbreaking one-model race for classic Ford GT40s will be one of the highlights of the Goodwood Revival next September here.
The Whitsun Trophy race for the 2013 Goodwood Revival on September 13-15 will mark 50 years since the start of the Ford GT40 program and Goodwood, true to form, is planning something pretty special.
"The plan for the GT40-only race at next September's Goodwood Revival is to have a full grid, meaning up to 30 GT40s competing in total," said Gary Axon, a Goodwood spokesman. "This has never been achieved before, and should be something quite exceptional."
Although the Ford GT40 program didn't begin on the track until 1964, work on the car started a year earlier with the development of Eric Broadley's Lola Mk6 GT in England.
After Ford had planned to buy Ferrari and was snubbed by Enzo Ferrari at the last minute, the GT40 was created by an incensed Henry Ford II specifically to take on and beat Ferrari at Le Mans.
This it ultimately achieved, winning the famous 24 Hours race four years running between 1966-'69.
This year at the Goodwood Revival, the organizers set up a stellar reunion between the prewar German "Silver Arrows" — Mercedes-Benz versus Auto Union — for the first time since 1939 and many were wondering how on earth Goodwood could ever top that.
By coming up with this unique Ford GT40 race, Goodwood has successfully answered that question, in style.

Coroner: Pneumonia, drugs killed Brittany Murphy
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles County coroner says Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia but prescription drug intoxication was also a factor.
RELATED VIDEO: Coroner details Brittany Murphy death
The coroner released its results Thursday.
Spokesman Craig Harvey says the primary cause of Murphy's death was pneumonia, with secondary factors of iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication. Harvey says the drugs ingested were all prescription medications.

Workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard say they were stricken with sadness following the deadly shootings at the Washington Navy Yard.
John Joyal of Somersworth, N.H., has been working at the Maine shipyard for 37 years. He said that as a person who works for national security on a daily basis, he never imagined that someone would attack one of the shipyards.
Shipyard commander Capt. William Greene, who was once stationed at the Navy Yard, said it was heartbreaking.
No personnel at the shipyard were affected by the shooting. Officials at Bath Iron Works in Bath said that three employees assigned near the Navy Yard have been accounted for and are safe.
New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan is touring the shipyard Tuesday, a visit that was scheduled before the shootings.

Cartoonist looking for inspiration
Hi, stumbled across this site in Construction-Resource forum. In my past life I was a builder. Love to check out what's being discussed for inspiration for my artwork, and also for my diy projects. Who knows, I do have some practical knowledge that could be useful on occasion.
Welcome aboard...you have some "all too accurate" cartoons! This place could use some humor at times, is there a royalty if one provides the inspiration for you next big work of art?:whistling2:
Neat stuff, and welcome to the fourm!!
Sure, you can have everything over 1 million :) Plus, if you have a very big nose, you can be imortalized forever, I'm tired of doing self portraits!
Seriously, if you give me a good idea, we'll talk turkey. Thanks for the comments, you'all.
Welcome funnyguy
Welcome to the site!
Nice...I can't even draw a stickman without getting dizzy
Practice, practice, practice.
Last night my mother was helping me spackle (she' has never been paid as an artist, cake decorator, or spakler, but her work is amazing, and I think the touch is similar between cake decorating and spakling)
anyway, she dropped a big clump of spakle from a ladder that just missed my head.
So, you could illustrate that (hitting my head) and her saying "you can't use too much spackle", or two pictures, one of cake decorating with spackle knives and one of spackling the walls with cake decorating tools.
Mmmmm, cake decorating - spakeling. It has possibilities. You have a good sense of what makes a cartoon. Thanks.

Whenever I've needed to record out of town, information about studios in that area has been very much appreciated. If you ever need to record in Atlanta, here's some info about Doppler Studios. This seven room facility is located about 15 miles north of the airport in Piedmont Heights. The Lindbergh Center Station is only 1.1 miles from the studio if you want to take the MARTA subway from the airport.
I've worked over the phone with Shawn Coleman for at least a decade. He's our go to guy for voice recording. He typically works in Studio G, a well equipped room for voice actors, music production, and film/TV audio post.
We finally had the opportunity to show up in person for a session and were treated to working in Studio A, with a larger control room and larger studio proper including a baby grand piano. Shawn knows we like the sound of their Neumann u87. He also hung a Neumann TLM 103 running at a lower volume as a safety microphone in case the actor suddenly shouted (recorded on a separate track). The 40 input SSL 4000E was overkill for the two microphones we used, but it sure was a pleasure to see and hear. Always the professional, Shawn kept the session running smoothly and everything sounded great. What I didn't know until this visit: Chief engineer Joe Neil makes his own custom microphone preamps, which we used for our recording session. They sounded very nice feeding into the Manley compressor. We recorded at 32bit, 96k Hz because it sounds better if we need any iZotope Declick to help clean up mouth noise.
After our session Shawn showed me their big music tracking room: Studio E. With a 56 input SSL, 3 large isolation booths and a 30′ x 40′ studio proper this would be ideal for recording large groups of musicians at the same time.
Below we see Shawn in the big room with two of the three iso booths behind him.
So now you know a little more about this fine studio. I hope you find it helpful if you need to record in Atlanta. Now, here are some more pretty pictures.
Someone suggested that older Shure microphones sound better because the quality of the transformers was better. Then my friend Dave recommended that I rip out the transformer all together! Since the Shure SM57 is inexpensive, and the changes are relatively simple, I decided to try my first microphone modifications in the summer of 2007.
The good folks at Mercenary Audio sold me some TAB Funkenwerk T58 transformers, designed specifically to replace the ones that come in stock 57s and 58s. First I unscrewed the back portion of the mic and de-soldered the contacts from the stock transformer to the microphone element. Then I released the XLR connector at the base and de-soldered it.
The next part was tricky… I had to remove the old transformer from the mic body, which was held in place by some sort of rubbery glue. The folks at Mercenary gave me a hot tip: put the lower body of the mic (not the element!) in a toaster oven for 3-5 minutes. Despite warnings I still managed to burn myself. And some of the glue spilled onto the metal tray. Bummer. That stuff would not come off, rendering it unsuitable for cooking food. But it did break the stock transformer free.
Then I needed to insert the new transformer and attach it so that it wouldn't bounce around inside. A dot of double stick foam seemed to work pretty well. Now I have to admit this doesn't form the same acoustical cavity formed by that gooey glue. So the new transformer may not be the only significant change. But since I didn't seem to have a large supply of industrial glue or the manufacturing setup to apply it without trashing other parts of the mic in the process, I decided the sticky foam dot would suffice.
I used a solder sucker to clean off the residue from the previous wiring. I tinned with some good Kester solder because cheap stuff can sound bad. I attached the XLR to the transformer leads. Then I attached the XLR connector to the base and soldered the other end of the transformer wires to the mic element.
I threaded the body back onto the mic. Except for a little glue residue on the outside of the mic, this modified version didn't look any different from a stock 57. So I added a personal touch, a red enamel "T" for Transformer to help visually differentiate this mic. I call this mic my Hotrod 57.
I nicknamed the next modification Sawed-Off 57. There were two separate goals here: (1) See if I can improve sonics by removing the transformer, and (2) create a low profile mic that is easier to place in tight spots. This mod turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Removing the back portion of the mic was easy enough, but when I went to attach the chassis of the mic to the drain wire I discovered the chassis wouldn't take solder. So I left the project and came back to it the next day. I decided to try another approach — physically attach to the mic body using a terminal. I took the chassis out into the garage to find out how difficult it would be to drill a hole in it. Piece of cake! The metal was soft enough to accept a standard wood bit in the drill. So far so good.
I soldered the terminal to the end of the wire. I pushed a machine screw through the hole in the chassis, intending to thread the terminal inside the mic body. But the nut and bolt took up too much room inside, so I moved the whole assembly outside the mic body.
I purposely cut the drain wire short so that it would bare any stress instead of the +/- connections. Having cleaned off the old solder and tinned the terminals to the mic element, I finished the soldering by connecting the positive and negative wires. Then I dropped the sawed-off into a SABRA-SOM SSM-1 shockmount. I would have preferred something smaller, but that's a different project!
My drummer friend Austin brought his kit into the studio as a favor to me. The Hotrod 57 sounded noticeably better than the stock 57 as a snare mic. And even in the somewhat bulky shockmount, the Sawed-Off 57 fit under the high hat better than the other versions. The Sawed-Off had 15dB less output than the other two — no problem up close on a loud snare. And it sounded really great… significantly better than the stock 57 and the Hotrod 57. That was a pleasant surprise. But I also noticed a lot more sound getting in the Sawed-Off from behind. Perhaps the normal frequency limitation of a stock 57 is also a key design feature for the cardioid pattern. It also seemed very likely that removing the rear chassis of the mic exposed the back side of the element to sound that wouldn't otherwise get in.
Another friend of mine let me put up a bunch of mikes while he sang and played acoustic guitar. This is when the limitation of the Sawed-Off 57 became obvious. That 15dB loss without the transformer was an absolute deal breaker. I like the No Transformer 57 on loud sources like snare and electric guitar cabs, but the Hotrod 57 for sources that have moderate volume.
The sound leakage into the back of the microphone was the biggest problem with the Sawed-Off version. So I decided to return the mic body to the Transformerless version and paint a yellow "N" on it for No Transformer. Someday I'd like to bend both microphones 90 degrees with the Granelli Audio Labs G5790 so they fit better in tight spots.
In our previous discussion about Machine Voices we looked at sonic treatments to make a voice recording sound more like an automaton: re-recording, frequency, time, vocoding, speech synthesis, intentional misuse of tools, and layering in Part 1.
Before we get into more treatments it is worth noting that sonic effects alone are not the only factor in making human speech sound like an android voice. When a synthetic intelligence is the goal script writing and voice acting can help give us robotic clues. For example, HAL 9000 from Kubric's 2001: A Space Odyssey speaks without emotion. It's creepy that the computer has no feelings, evidenced by the lack of word stress or pitch variations that humans naturally use. The classic Robot B-9 from Lost in Space used a monotone delivery to let us know it's "Non-Theorizing" status. Many androids have been portrayed by voice actors using a monotone delivery, though pitch variations have also been removed from regularly entoned speech using processing (example: the Cylon Centurions from the late 1970s)
Pace and pause can be used to sound intentionally procedural. C3PO has quirky pauses and a steady pattern to his dialog that is part of the android speech presentation. Concatenated speech that we hear when calling for the local time, or via MovieFone demonstrates how it sounds when pre-recorded voice is presented piecemeal, organized based on current conditions by a computer for the listener. Interactive Voice Response is used by airlines, banks, and tech support so callers can get what they need with little or no "live human" time on the line. We can intentionally emulate these unnatural patterns before any treatment is applied.
Editing may also play a role. For example, the mechanical personality Max Headroom stuttered, like a series of bad edits, to let us know the voice was from a machine.
One of the sonic give aways that we are listening to a machine is some kind of failure. Subtle to extreme distortion can help convince listeners that electronics, transducers, and the power supplies found in a machine are being used for the reproduction of the voice we are treating. Sometimes the best part of re-amping is pushing the system into distortion — a little or a lot. Of course this can be simulated with software, or by passing signal through a piece of gear like a guitar effects pedal. Sometimes massive distortion mixed back in subtly with the untreated signal helps prove the idea while maintaining intelligibility.
Equipment failures don't have to be limited to electronic or mechanical clip distortion. There are a wealth of opportunities to glitch a voice recording and make it sound less than human. Low resolution digitization — such as 8bit, 8k Hz — can give you some downright awful sounds. Hint: a lot of talking toys operate down in this range. You can downres using all kinds of different software, not just plugins. Or try hardware such as a guitar stomp box featuring bit crushing effects.
@stonevoiceovers suggested using the ProTools Air Frequency Shifter. Early pitch processing such as the Eventide H910 Harmonizer could sound garbled and glitchy, especially when pushed to extremes. Most pitch processing still sounds pretty synthetic with excessive settings. One idea is to simply pitch something way up or down and then process again to return to normal pitch. The filters and shuffling will add some great artifacts. Of course you can keep the pitch changes, even variable pitch change, to make something both simulated and glitchy at the same time.
You don't have to pitch process to get chopped, stuttered sounds. There are plugins and hardware effects processors dedicated to these kinds of glitch effects. We can even get these kinds of sounds by abusing a simple tremelo or vibrato processor. And if you're not afraid to experiment, try circuit bending an inexpensive consumer product that records and plays sound. Cheap toys can be especially fun to hack.
Some of my favorite plugins make processing easier by having several techniques readily available on a single display. For mediated voice futzes it hard to beat Speakerphone by Audio Ease. It has tons of great re-recording techniques simulated using convolution — both speaker and microphone emulations are included. Then you can pile on frequency manipulations with EQ, overdrive, room reflections, telecom codec simulations, and much more.
Whereas Speakerphone is a quick, accurate path for emulating the real world, FutzBox offers a palate of sonic changing parameters to play around and create your own flavor. Start with a speaker emulation, then select options to downres, filter, overdrive, even add a noise layer. The interface makes it fun to experiment with different combinations.
I've worked in several studios that had a rackmount Eventide H3000 Harmonizer. If you ever have the opportunity to play with this kind of quirky box full of crazy treatments, indulge your ears with synthetic weirdness. A significant number of robot voices have been created using Harmonizers over the years. Eventide makes plugins these days, which is a more convenient way for everyone to access multi-effect sounds.
Ben Burtt is a living legend. His creative use of sound tools inspires us. From classic ARP synthesizers to the Kyma, he blurred the lines between human voice and machine with iconic robots from R2-D2 to Wall-E. We don't have to use someone else's plugin; we can devise our own treatment paths too. Techniques like vocoding and speech synthesis demonstrate a confluence of artistic and technical thinking that ask us to create new processes. But powerful tools with no specific voice processing agenda require patience to wield well, and a steep learning curve may not coalesce with an inspired moment. These are deep waters. Come mentally prepared.
Native Instruments makes powerful music oriented software like Kontakt for sampling, and Reaktor for synthesis. To write your own code consider Pure Data and Max/MSP. More tool recommendations: 10 Great Tools For Sound Designers, What's The Deal With Procedural Game Audio, and Google search for new ideas in sonic tools, including audio related discussion groups.
(1) Levels. Metallic resonances and other synthetic treatments can generate crazy level spikes. Watch your input and output levels so you don't produce unwanted clipping.
(2) Dynamics. Just because your dialog was compressed and/or limited before you treated it, doesn't mean you can ignore dynamics after. Consider another pass through dynamics processing so your low level sounds don't get lost, and the newly created signal peaks don't prevent you from setting this dialog loudness on par with everything else.
(3) Diction. When you mangle in the 2k – 5k Hz range the intelligibility and presence of the dialog may become diminished. Our ear/brain system uses the 6k – 8k Hz range to distinguish S sounds from F sounds, with potential confusion for other sounds like TH, SH, or CH. Sometimes you just need EQ to enhance these areas. Other times you may need to blend in some unprocessed or less processed voice in these frequency ranges to recover the diction that was lost from treatment. If you lower resolution, remember Nyquist showed that we need at least twice the sampling rate to represent an audible frequency, meaning a downres to 8k Hz constrains the audible frequency to only 4k Hz!
(4) Distortion. If you choose overdrive as part of your processing chain, keep in mind that distortion is a form of dynamic range compression. If you're unsure whether to use it or not, remember that distortion can be a substitute or compliment to any dynamics processing needed after applying other techniques. Even a little intentional clipping could help improve the signal chain — from a simple futz, to a full-on sentient machine.
If you've got any tips, tricks, or other suggestions please share. Have fun making Machine Voices!
A friend of mine was trying to make a voice sound like it was coming from a toy. He referenced the Extreme EQ article I wrote a while back. Him telling me about it, combined with some recent projects I've been doing, inspired me to assemble more ideas about treating voice recordings for machine-like effect.
I first heard the term futz from some film mixing colleagues, which refers to changing a recording so that it sounds like it's on the phone, an intercom, a megaphone, or other mediated delivery of a voice. We can extend this idea to any kind of talking machine, whether it transmits a human voice, or represents a sentient machine like Hal 9000, C3PO, or Optimus Prime.
Some of the earliest practical voice treatments were made by placing telephone speakers, megaphones, etc. inside a sound isolation box with a microphone. The interior of the box was often lined with sound absorptive material to help reduce audible reflections inside. Sound was fed into the emitter of choice and then recorded using the microphone. But you don't have to build the box unless you plan to do this kind of re-recording on a regular basis — having these things isolated might be helpful if you do it often enough.
I love re-amping, especially when I'm going for realism. You know, playing a sound file of someone speaking on my mobile phone sounds very convincingly like that person talking on my phone! Sometimes old school re-recording is the better option: a quick and convincing method to get a machine-like voice treatment. And you don't have to be a purist about it; you can add other forms of manipulation before and after.
(See also: Re-Amping Mix Tips One, Two, and Three)
Transducers found in machines often have a specific frequency response that we hear as machine-like. Using extreme roll offs and obnoxious, narrow boosts can help simulate an android, toy, or other talking machine. Listen to these kinds of sounds in the cinema, on TV, and real life talking devices to help you decide when your EQ settings help create a convincing treatment. For some specific ideas see: Extreme EQ.
Some of the earliest robot voices included the sound of the speaker inside the chassis of the machine. A really tight delay can simulate that kind of reflection. And you can create some great metallic resonances by cycling the result back into the delay again and again in a time smeared feedback loop. Delays under 30ms or so can create comb filters, also known as "phasing." If you slowly increase the delay time then let it recover you can create flanging: comb filtering with variable notches and peaks. A closely related effect called chorusing also varies delay times back and forth for moving comb filters that can sound synthetic and hollow. @r0barr likes to use a ring modulator, which could be considered a frequency effect plus a time effect, because it smears specific frequency ranges over time by driving a filter into oscillation.
All of these forms of delay can have a synthetic, manufactured kind of sound. If you're going for a vintage machine, or something subtle, a simple time based effect may be all you need. Or combine with other manipulations to mashup old and new sonic characteristics.
Some of my favorite plugins for these kinds of legacy effects are made by Soundtoys: EchoBoy, Phase Mistress, and Crystallizer.

Both @daviddas and @recordingreview mentioned the TAL Vocoder by name. Breaking speech into smaller components, vocoding was originally created to reduce the bandwidth needed to transmit a voice. It was also used to encrypt voice communications including military use. By the nineteen sixties artists and technicians collaborated to make several different models of a "talking synthesizer", or put another way, a singing machine. Because the artistic use of vocoders was based on music, using one may benefit from knowledge of music. If not a musician yourself, consider collaborating with your composer and musician friends.
There's a fascinating history about vocoders on this wiki page if you'd like to read more.
@MikeHillier made a really obvious suggestion that I had completely overlooked: "get Appletalk to say it." @chewedrock recommended "Atari speech synthesis – software automatic mouth." Speech synthesis is a great option for a machine voice.
Intentional misuse and reinvention can be incredibly fun. Some of our beloved music processors such as pitch correction can be applied to speaking dialog instead of music for some very tasty synthetic voices. @grhufnagl said, "I really love using Melodyne to control pitch & time, alongside its formant control."
Convolution and noise reduction may have been intended to emulate the real world and clean noise out of recordings, respectively. But we can choose to apply these in creative ways to generate interesting artifacts. Freeware and low cost software tends to cut corners, making them more prone to audible errors that sound unnatural and weird. Almost any audio tool can be used in ways it wasn't intended to produce ear catching flaws.
Good sound design often features the prominent sound that we notice, with layers of quieter elements adding color and flavor. This can work for machine voices too. We can use the voice signal as a key to open a gate on other sounds — static, digitization artifacts, droning guitars, and many, so many more sonic clues that the voice is being mediated. Add samples, such as servos to move a mechanical mouth, or the hum of a power supply. These finishing touches are like highlights and shadows in visual art that add believable, three dimensional characteristics.

Here are some of the interesting things I saw on the exhibit floor.
(1) Triad Orbit was showing a very cleaver clamp with 5/8" threads for putting microphones is less traditional locations. The foam inside the clamp makes it safer to crank down on pretty fixtures, plus adds gripping power to keep it from sliding. It's called the IO-C Mounting Clamp and I need several!
(2) I like to stop by the Latch Lake booth in case they are giving away their fabulous Jam Nuts, which they were. I used both of them on a recording gig immediately following the convention. Latch Lake introduced a burley new tripod mic stand with the same boom clutch as found on their weighted base models. Want.
(3) I saw and heard the new Cliff Mics ribbon. It was impressive on a number of levels. The magnets were so massive and strong, I thought they were going to pull the hair off my face. Interestingly, the cover was made of mesh cloth rather than metal.
(4) On recommendation I took some time to check out Miktek. Apparently the late, great Oliver Orchut of TAB Funkenwerks designed most of their microphones. I was especially interested to hear the figure 8 of their multi-pattern mikes, with insanely good off axis rejection and an even transition from on to off axis. Impressive.

My notes from Game Audio 7 Dynamic Mixing for Games at 137th AES Convention 2014, Los Angeles
Presented Oct 10 by Simon Ashby
Dynamic Mixing defined: A system that dynamically changes the audio mix based on currently playing sounds and game situations.
Middleware such as Wwise creates channels between the game engine and the audio engine. In Wwise these are called Sends.
Dynamic mixing can help keep things interesting by modifying sounds on the fly to keep from hearing the exact same thing repeatedly. But it can also provide feedback to the user such as volume going down to indicate greater distance from the player / camera.
In the same way live sound mixers can use snapshots to quickly go from cue to cue, middleware mix snapshots can be attached to triggers / mechanics in the game.
Side-chain is not just for ducking. It can drive other parameters such as EQ, pitch, sends, etc. In other words, you can drive a parameter setting based on the audio level of a different channel.
HDR: High Dynamic Range. The audio version of HDR photos. Inputs have high dynamic range going into the HDR buss. Delivery system ducks lower volume inputs to allow the louder ones to be heard. It is more complex than buss compression or ducking. The result is actually lower dynamic range but seems to have more range than compression or unmastered audio.
Audiokinetic has a YouTube Channel that includes some information about HDR.
Adaptive Loudness and Compression, as heard in mix by Rob Bridgett in Zorbit's Math Adventure. Mix snapshots are triggered by output state of device: headphones, speaker, AirPlay. This can help protect user's hearing and otherwise optimize for the listening scenario. Compression was also applied based on the volume measured at the mic input of the device. This was designed to help the listener hear better when playing in a loud environment. This was only applied to headphones because speaker and AirPlay would form a loop back into the microphone.
My notes from Game Audio 5 Audio Middleware for the Next Generation at 137th AES Convention 2014, Los Angeles
Presented Oct 10 by Steve Horowitz and Scott Looney
The key thing that separates linear media production from interactive is: indeterminacy. Middleware helps us manage this difference.
Justification of middleware:
(1) Puts more audio control in the hands of audio people, and
(2) Simplifies work for coders.
Middleware for multiple development platforms: FMOD, Wwise
Unity specific middleware: Fabric, Master Audio
FMOD Studio is now sample based, not frame based.
It was suggested during this discussion that Master Audio seems ideally suited for 2D and casual games. It supports all systems to which Unity can publish, including web. It has better documentation than Fabric.
UPDATE Jan 5, 2015:
I originally reported Master Audio as Open Source, but it is not. When you buy, you get access to all of the source code — true. But game makers do not submit new code to Dark Tonic to update the product, rather Dark Tonic takes responsibility to write and publish Master Audio and allow game makers access in case they want to add code for their game. Brian Hunsaker of Dark Tonic clarified that Master Audio is used by AAA game studios, not merely 2D or indie developers. It is intended for any Unity based product that does not require realtime audio parameter changes.

San Teodoro lies on an enchanting piece of coast in the North-eastern part of Sardinia. There are a lot of beaches with fine and white sand, an untouched deep sea and pink coloured rocks of granite sinking in a sea which is green like emerald; and all these aspects make Sardinia the favourite destination of many tourists. At only 27 km from Olbia's harbour and airport, San Teodoro offers a rich hinterland with its typical Mediterranean vegetation called 'macchia' and several natural itineraries of rare beauty. The coast is very irregular, due to the promontories, the small beaches and the rocks, and it is therefore ideal for excursions by boat to the gorgeous isles of Tavolara, Molara and Molarotto. The town offers the possibility to practice sporting activities such as riding, golf, tennis, diving, football, trekking, but it has also many pubs, discos, restaurants, farm-holidays which allow to spend a pleasant and peaceful holiday.

Violence against women is all too frequently identified with issues of domestic life, but a program director in Indonesia emphasized on Women's Solidarity day, violence is closely linked to discriminatory laws and in the work place. Environmental changes frequently impact the agricultural world in which many Indonesian women toil. Ochida, a head of Women and Conflict of Natural resources Division, notes the growth of mining is not only an environmental disaster for the nation, but it has resulted in the loss of many agricultural jobs. Mining has also led to a high increase of acute respiratory diseases and reproductive illness.
It is time to examine issues of violence against women in a broader context since the work world and environmental change has rarely been examined through a feminist perspective.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thank you for submitting your question.
Kenalog celestone injections should not lead to swelling. Kenalog is a steroid which helps to decrease inflammation and swelling.
If swelling occurs after a kenalog injection, then infection is a possibility. Any time the skin is penetrated by a needle, there is a possibility of bacterial entry and infection. Infection is especially likely if the swollen area is red and hot.
I hope this answers your question.
If the area is not warm/red, then it is possible that the kenalog+lidcocaine mixture got into those areas. This should resolve within 1-2 days. You can apply warm compresses to the area to speed up the process.
If the area is red and hot, then you may have a skin infection.
If the numbness has persisted for 2 months, it is likely that the a branch of the facial nerve was punctured/damaged during the injection.
Recovery from nerve damage can take up to 4 months. Numbness is the most common symptom. Mild swelling is possible, but your face should not be grossly swollen from a nerve injury.
That is very odd indeed. It's hard to imagine why the kenalog would travel up to the tip of your nose. If you have taken antibiotics already then infection is unlikely. You may need another visit back to your dermatologist if this doesn't resolve.

Brunch pizzas
Makes 4 pizzas, serves 4-6Nut-free
- 2 x 7g dried yeast sachets
- 4 teaspoons caster sugar
- 400mL tepid water
- 650g strong flour
- 20g salt
- Extra flour for dusting
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in half the water. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt and make a well in the centre. Pour the yeast mixture into the centre and mix dry ingredients in from the centre working out. Best to use your hand for this, but if this is too icky, use a spoon or knife. Add the remaining water and mix until all the flour is incorporated into a moist dough. You may need more or less water depending on your flour.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll, push and fold the dough for 5 minutes. Put some flour on your hands if the dough is sticking. Work the dough into a round shape and place on a baking tray, slice through the dough with a knife (the dough proves [rises] more quickly) and leave the dough in a draught-free, warm, moist area to double in size. In our house, this is in the laundry, with the heating duct open and the door closed. The proving process takes about 40-60 minutes.
Now for the fun bit, punch the dough to let the air out and knead for about a minute. Divide the dough into four pieces and roll or push it into rounds or rectangles. For a thin, crispy base, the dough should be 0.5cm thick and for a more bready base about 1cm thick.
Place on a lightly floured baking tray and add toppings.
Bacon and egg topping (for 2 pizzas)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 2 tomatoes, thickly sliced
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
Brush the pizza bases with olive oil. Arrange prosciutto and tomato slices on the two pizza bases. Carefully break an egg onto the middle of each pizza. Bake at 240°C for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with basil leaves, drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
Smoked chicken, brie and avocado topping (for 2 pizzas)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 smoked chicken breast, sliced
- Small wedge of brie, sliced
- 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
Brush the pizza bases with olive oil. Arrange chicken, brie and avocado slices on the two pizza bases. Bake at 240°C for about 10 minutes, top with a handful of spinach, drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
- If you decide on brunch pizzas for Christmas morning, consider how you feel about kneading pizza dough amongst the discarded wrapping and general frenzy. Alternatively, buy ready made frozen bases or make the bases in advance, cook for 5 minutes, cool and then freeze. Frozen bases don't have to be defrosted, just add topping to frozen base.
- I have given two topping options-double the quantities if you only want to make one type of pizza, or choose your own favourite topping.
- The kids will love to help making the dough, flour everywhere, watching the dough prove (don't make a draft!) and punching the dough! Pizza dough does not have to prove a second time as with bread, it will prove while you are putting on the toppings and in the oven.

BSI: Tell us about the goals you have from week to week that you set up and that the coaches have for you as a unit:
John Purdy: Our goals are play hard every day and practice hard every day. We always want to not give up any sacks and to make sure we do our assignments; that kind of thing.
Dan Gerberry: Our main goal is to score one more point than the other offense. We don't set total yardage goals. Sure we want to go out and put up 400 – 500 yards a game. Every offense wants to do that, but we know that if we go out and play the way we are capable of playing and play hard every play we will succeed.
BSI: Tell us about the post game aspect, how you guys critique how you played and what does Coach John Powers grade you on:
DG: The whole team meets, then the offense meets and then the positions meet – all on Sunday. The coach breaks it down with a scoring system, which is, zero - you did your job and that's good, you made your block. A negative is a where you missed you assignment totally or you didn't do exactly what you are supposed to do. If you get a positive, that means you pretty much annihilated someone. Coach Powers breaks down, by 12 on Sunday, every play on offense and what we did.
BSI: So how are you graded:
DG: You want to get into the 90s, does that happen, no, I have probably been in the 90s two or three times total in my career. Really the grading, it goes down to each play. If I am supposed block the guy across from me on a given play, I can block him and that is good, but if I don't lead with the right foot or get square on him, if I don't get my splits right, I pretty much have a minus right off the bat.
BSI: So does that grading system vary by play, meaning can you get more points on certain plays and more negatives on others.
DG: Yes, I guarantee you if you run a naked, where you are just running down that line and you keep your pads low . . . you won't get a minus. But on the other hand, if you do a 5-step drop, there is so much time and so many things to do, that you can get a whole lot of negatives on you just from one play.
BSI: Dan, as the center you have a lot of weight on your shoulders, take us through a little of what goes on before each play for a center.
DG: No doubt about it for me anyway, I have to call out the defense, tell everyone who they have and sometimes change a call. By the time the ball is snapped there are 3 things I could have a minus on. I have to identify how many down linemen there are, if there in a 3 or a 4 down defense and identify the MIKE linebacker.
BSI: So what happens if the defense shifts right before the ball is snapped?
DG: A lot of times, if it is too late, you kind of have to go with what you called. If you try changing it late, you might get guys on different pages. You have to make the best judgment right away and make that call because if you are someplace loud and you are trying to make a call . . . there is a good chance that Purdy out there at tackle isn't going to hear the change. So you just have to use your best judgment.
BSI: Speaking of loud stadiums, how does that affect the snap count?
JP: If we are in hurry up and we can't hear, like at Nebraska, sometimes you have to peak in a little at the ball to get an idea of when it is being snapped.
DG: Yeah, if we are in a hurry situation, like Purdy said, you can't hear, sometimes we have the tackles and guards clasp hands and the guard can see the ball hiked so he lets go and that lets the tackles know the ball is snapped.
BSI: Holding? What can you do and not do when blocking to avoid holding calls?
JP: Your hands have to stay inside the framework and you can hold as much as you want if you are inside that frame work. If your hands get outside then you can get the flag.
BSI: One final question, what kind of defensive lineman gives you the most fits? Is it the tall, heavy guy or is it the quicker, shorter, lighter guy?
DG: It doesn't matter to me if a guy is short or tall, but if he is good at technique and good at what he does. If he is quick, that is hard, but it is all about if they are good at what they do. My freshman year there was a kid at Central Michigan that was BIG he was not going to be moved. You ran into him and boom, he wouldn't move. Jones, the kid now at CMU now, he is long armed and quick. That makes my arms hurt blocking him. So, either way, as long as they are good at what they do, then they are going to be tough to block.
JP: Height isn't a big thing, but if they have long arms, that can be an issue.

Estradiol, progesterone, and prolactin (show PRL Proteins) increase renal NaCl cotransporter phosphorylation and activity.
SPAK (show STK39 Proteins) is an important mediator of the increased NCC activation by phosphorylation that occurs in the distal convoluted tubule in response to a low-K(+) diet, but other low-potassium-activated kinases are likely to be involved.
This gene encodes a renal thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter that is important for electrolyte homeostasis. This cotransporter mediates sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. Mutations in this gene cause Gitelman syndrome, a disease similar to Bartter's syndrome, that is characterized by hypokalemic alkalosis combined with hypomagnesemia, low urinary calcium, and increased renin activity associated with normal blood pressure. This cotransporter is the target for thiazide diuretics that are used for treating high blood pressure. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

2012 No Heat
Hello All, I have a 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland with an heating issue. while driving I notice that the heat doesn't work unless I drive above 3000 rpm. Blower works fine, but cold air comes out unless I'm above 3000 rpm, soon after I go below 3000 rpm then it goes from hot to cold. Please help!!!!:confused: 58k miles no warranty, I need advise before I go to the dealer.
Re: 2012 No Heat
if cooling system is full (no airlock), your heater core may be restricted.
Thanks but how do I check if the cooling system is full or if the heater core is restricted
It was the coolant system was empty. Filled it up works great thank you

Just like saying a lot with the help of few, little words, Christophe Lemaire's minimalist fall / winter 2013 collection for Hermes talked a great deal about the genuine Parisian chic that has women all around the world persistently trying to achieve that same effortless and smart sense of style. Wrapped in mystery, mixing tradition with high class, Hermes' line up gave subtlety a new definition.
Fur, leather, cashmere and suede represented the flawless choice of fabrics that helped built the free-spirited collection envisioned for an enigmatic woman that could easily belong to any corner of the world. That same universal appeal enriched the mid-calf skirts, timeless white shirts, lavish fur jackets and chunky knits vests, gifting them new identities for fall. Striking simplicity doesn't come the easy way, yet Lemaire appears to posses a true calling for uncomplicated elegance. His clear vision translated to an ageless collection that feels relevant now, but so will feel in a decade or two.
