Masane costume process by arienai-tenWatch
©2013-2017 arienai-ten
Many people asked me, how I was doing costume Masane. Here are a few tips) if they can help you, I will be only happy))
May I ask, what material did you use for the suit?
How did you get the other props on? For example, the yellow spiky parts on the shoes, and how did you attach the blades? What did you use for the fingers to make them look so pointy? And what's that on the hips? Did you hot glue that? Very lovely.
all, excluding the blades, are made of fabric. Absolutely everything was sewed. No glue, only to shaping fingers inside. The blades are held on two fixtures at hand and elbow.
cool Masane cos
Excellent craftsmanship!
Or should I say craftswomanship?

I was absolutely blown away by how creative and productive the hackers were at this weekend's cleanweb hackathon here in Boston.
As a recap: Around 15 teams of programmers and other hackers came together at Greentown Labs to spend 30 or so hours creating new cleantech-related web and mobile apps from scratch. Most came in with ideas in mind, of course, but they had to write fresh code to compete. Many worked through the night Saturday, and then, bleary-eyed and over-caffeinated, they presented their work on Sunday afternoon to a panel of entrepreneur and investor judges. They were all scored on the categories of Impact, Originality, User Experience, and Completeness.
I frankly wasn't expecting much, given such a short amount of time available to the teams. And yes, some were necessarily just a mock-up and some teams got a bit tongue-tied in their presentations. But overall, it was an amazing showing by all these teams -- one of those events where you can only have three winners and you wish prizes could be awarded to a lot more teams than that.
The competitors included:
- A mapping program tied to available wind turbine sound data and wind level data to help smaller developers estimate the sound levels over ambient from a wind turbine at a particular site
- A mobile app to allow green-minded travelers to easily find green-rated hotels and restaurants
- A site where registered viewers can review political ads (and this year, energy will play a big role in that) and vote on whether a claim is a lie or the truth
- A cool presentation of available data on fracking activity matched with water data
- A remote diagnostic and energy optimization tool for greenhouses
- A couple of tools for helping homeowners identify energy-saving appliances
- A tool for helping energy auditors more easily look up the energy consumption of devices they inventory in a building
There was also a host of other entries. As you can see, there was a wide range of topics, speaking to the breadth of clean IT opportunities.
For me, what was striking was how far these teams were able to push their ideas in only a short amount of time. Yes, this is totally an apples-to-oranges comparison, but some of these teams were able to push their ideas to more customer-ready results in 30 hours than many more science-based cleantech startups are able to tangibly demonstrate in 30 months. That's not to diminish the more hardcore scientific efforts out there at all, but it does speak to how powerful the combination of cleantech and IT can be in some ways.
In any case, the winners came up with some fun stuff:
Third place went to a team from Divya Energy that is developing an online comparison shopping calculator for residential solar customers.
Second place went to a car-sharing app ("Ride With Me") that creatively included a customer loyalty program to entice repeat users.
First place went to a team from WegoWise for their very fun, very clever way of bringing better visualization and competitiveness to get homeowners to focus on energy usage. Using Green Button data, your house's stats are randomly matched up against another user's house, and then you duke it out -- with awesome 1990s-esque video game graphics. "Michael Tyson's Punch House" was also voted the crowd favorite. You can see the happy team, plus a couple of the volunteers who made the whole event happen, in the obligatory "giant check" picture below.
Speaking of which, many thanks to the great team of volunteers for making this terrific event happen, mostly from scratch. I can't name them all (but will list some of their Twitter handles below; please follow them), but want to particularly call out Matt Liebhold (currently independent) and Jason Hanna (Coincident). Based on the scrappy execution they demonstrated in pulling this off and bringing the community together like this, you could do worse than to get to know them and work with them in some way. Yes, consider this a recommendation.
Others to thank / follow: @blakestar, @greentownlabs, @tallmatt, @matthewnordan, @markvasu, @fyietc, @dkarmano, @emilylreichert, and @CleanSuchi (if I missed any of you, ping me and I'll gladly add you in).
These cleanweb hackathons are getting rolled out all over, apparently, so find one near you and check it out. Not only was it a lot of fun to watch, it inspired a lot of ideas for directions I'd like to take with my Lightzy.com experiment, if I can enlist some more expert help. Here's to the next one in Boston!

Slovenia is currently top with four points, while the U.S. and England are tied with two apiece.
Slovenia is 13:5 to win and they're offering a draw at 21:10.
Tito in Tovariši became a bestseller in Slovenia, but is available only in Slovene at the moment.
The Americans snatched draws against England and Slovenia to stay alive.
England 1-0 Slovenia England scored early to appease the baying headline writers, but never looked entirely fluid.
Let's not forget that Slovenia is actually top of Group C and a win over the U.S. would guarantee qualification.
Slovenia had a 2-0 lead at half time and then the U.S. showed up, scoring two beauties in the second half.
Goalkeeper Tim Howard has officially been passed fit to face Slovenia after sustaining a rib injury in the England game.
As to Dalmatia, Croatia and Slovenia, their melodies are chiefly marked by simplicity and a feeling for the domestic side of life.
Croatia and Slovenia have both educated and wealthy classes.
Republic in southeastern Europe at the top western corner of the Balkan Peninsula, bordered by Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast, Croatia to the east and south, and the Adriatic Sea and Italy to the west. Its capital and largest city is Ljubljana.
Note: Often considered the most "European" of the former republics of Yugoslavia, Slovenia declared its independence in 1991. In the wake of this proclamation, Yugoslav troops attacked Slovenia, but without success.

Hi just joined the forum so thought I would introduce myself.
My name is Paul and I live near Manchester. I own a couple of BMW's. The first is a Z4M Coupe and the second is a recently acquired IR E46 330i Sport Saloon.
The 330 is going to be my daily car and is just over 8 years old so its going to need maintenance some of which I would like to do myself. Being a complete noob when it comes to anything mechanical I was looking for a good source of info when I stumbled accross this site.

Giving fans another reason to get excited for next month's premiere, six international character posters for "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" hit the web.
TheOneRing.Net managed to discover the posters for Peter Jackson's second installment of the trilogy, including never-before-seen characters.
Bonding with his little one, Orlando Bloom spent the day with Flynn in New York City on Tuesday (November 5).
The 36-year-old actor carried his son on his shoulders as they strolled around the city streets.
Giving fans another look into his highly anticipated flick, Peter Jackson released another trailer for "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" on Tuesday (November 5).
Opening up a bit about his tenuous relationship in an interview with the one and only Katie Couric, Orlando Bloom spoke briefly about Miranda Kerr, his son, Flynn Bloom and the family they will continue to be.
His split from wife Miranda Kerr is still pretty fresh, but Stephen Colbert is already encouraging Orlando Bloom to get back into the game.
While promoting his Broadway show "Romeo & Juliet" on the "Colbert Report" on Monday (October 28), the host immediately started out with, "Let's talk elephant in the room, you've got something going on with you right now, we don't have to talk about it."
They announced the end of their marriage last week, but Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom seemed pretty friendly while out in New York City this morning (October 28).
They announced their mutual decision to end their 3-year marriage last week and it now appears that Orlando Bloom wasn't the only one that had a hold on Miranda Kerr's heart.
The former Victoria's Secret Angel was apparently obsessed with Justin Bieber, which didn't sit too well with her hubby.
Paying a quick visit to his former Angel's apartment in the Big Apple, Orlando Bloom was all smiles on the way to his performance at the theater.
The "Romeo and Juliet" actor was looking good in a black leather jacket as he strode along looking energetic, knocking on Miranda Kerr's door, and waiting to be let in.

Water Sources For Survival
March 26, 2014, by Ken Jorgustin
Water will be one of your most urgent needs during a survival situation. Believe it or not, you cannot survive much beyond a few days without any water whatsoever, especially in a hot environment where you are losing water rapidly through perspiration. Even in a cold environment, you need a minimum of 2 liters (about 1/2-gallon) of water each day to maintain some efficiency.
More than 3/4 of your body is composed of fluids. Your body loses fluid as a result of heat, cold, stress, and exertion. To function effectively, you must replace the fluid your body loses.
A general rule-of-thumb is for 1 gallon of water per day at a minimum for survival needs.
So, one of your early priorities (along with those of your immediate safety and well-being) during a survival situation is to find and obtain an adequate supply of water to keep you alive.
The following is a list of ideas how to get water for survival:

text: As with all Jeeps they are never quite done, mine is no exception. I bought my '64 CJ5 in 2000 off a used car lot up here in Northern Lower Michigan. It ran fine and I used it for a few years pretty much stock. Then I had the opportunity to start my resto-mod. The sheet metal was in great shape and with a little patching and grinding I had the body redone. I removed the 134 and swapped in a 1975 231 odd fire. It has been a work in progress for a few years. It was completed in 2009. I have Holbrook springs, bigger brakes and power-steering to name a few mods. I did have a setback when the block developed a issue in the oil gallery (re-builder took an ill advised short cut to plug a crack, not known to me) and the engine had to come out. I found a rebuild-able block and should have a whole Jeep by the time the snow melts. I do have to say it climbs like a goat, to the amazement of my Jeep friends they watched me climb a hill that no other Jeep was able to make, I did it first with the 'ole '64.

Ceramic pads for our brakes continued
Sorry on the chrome rims thread about the pads, didn't mean to interfere with that thread.
I am not an expert with ceramic pads, but have had experience with three cars now with them.
EBC makes ceramic pads as well as hawk for our cars, and both come with a break in coating on the pads that lasts for about 50 to 100 miles. This coating is specific to wear the rotor smoother, and to heat temper the rotors, according to EBC. I have run them on both my Corvettes, and one Mustang GT.
Do they eat up the rotors faster. YES!!! I have noticed that I can go two to three pads with a rotor before the rotors become too thin. I have noticed on both my Vettes that the rotors needed replacement at the same time as the pads needed to be changed. I went 36000 miles with ceramics on my 03 vette, but that was with a lot of SCCA Solo events under my belt. My 05 Vette went 32000 miles with about 50% pad and rotor left at that point. Only Solod that car once, but a lot of aggressive mountain driving. You will notice on the lips of the rotors that the rotor does eat up faster. I have read that Cryogenic rotors seem to last a lot longer with ceramic pads, but no experience. I ran a slotted and crossdrilled Bear rotor set with my 05 Vette, and that one seemed to last a lot longer, so it may be possible that the crossdrilling and scrapping of the pads extends the rotor life.
I don't know, but on all three cars I noticed the same bite as the stock pads under normal driving but much more grip from speed, more consistancy, and no fade at all on both vettes! The small 11" rotors on the mustang took about twice as long to fade, but still did fade.
Warping. When you buy these pads, they usually come with instructions on how to temper the rotors to the pads, so that extreme wear and warping is not a problem, this is why these pads come with break in surfaces on them also. Ceramics disappate the heat much faster, but will get hotter on use. You absolutely need to heat temper your rotors before hard use of ceramics or you will warp the rotors, as I had found out on my Mustang. I didn't read the warnings that came with the pads on the Mustang at first. After getting new rotors and pads, I heat tempered them first and had no problem. They actually also make a rotor coating that is specifically to be used with cermic pads, with rotors that are made of a harder steel so that they last much longer, where you can get two pad sets on one set of rotors. I forget what the coating is called, but EBC made these rotors, and Brembo offered them also, with a gold colored coating! I noticed on my freinds vette that the initial bite was much stronger when using the upgraded rotors. He has 50000 miles on it now, and 30,000 with the upgrade, and his pads have about 50% life left, but the rotors look almost like new! I plan to get these for the V since they have them through Brembo, when mine wear out.
I mostly got these for the lack of dust they put out, since I hate cleaning my rims. They now go twice as long before they get dirty. I have noticed with chrome rims, that they took forever to get dirty with the ceramics, but my V and mustang have non chrome and still get dirty a little bit. Also with the staqe 1 on my car, I felt that a little more breaking power wouldn't hurt at all.
So in the long run it is more costly to run them, they do make noise, but they provide better braking and cleaner rims. Oh and by the way the Brembo cross drilled and vented rotors, that are also directionally vented run $425 for a set for each end.
One last thought, on all three vehicles I never had to replace anything on the rear end, with 70% pad life left after I had changed the fronts on my first vette.

Maluleka to make first defense of his SA title
By Ron Jackson
South African featherweight champion Sydney Maluleka makes the first defense of South African featherweight title when he faces Aphiwe Mboyiya of Duncan Village at the Orient Theatre in East London on Sunday afternoon. Maluleka, from Gauteng and has a reported record of 11-3, including 6 knockouts. He won the title on September 30 in what was considered an upset when he stopped Sabelo Jubatha in the seventh round.
Maluleka made his professional debut on May 28, 2004, winning on points against David Ndlala. In his eighth fight, he challenged for the vacant SA featherweight title but lost on points to Ludumo Galada. In a non-title return bout in March 2007 he was beaten on points over six rounds. Since then he has won only four fights.
Mboyiya is rated at No 5 by Boxing SA. He has won six fights, four inside the distance, according to Boxrec.com. In June this year he beat the capable Wonga Ntoyakhe on points over ten rounds.
On the undercard, 40-year-old Simphiwe Nongqayi returns to action when he faces Thabo Sonjica of Duncan Village in a junior featherweight bout.
Nongqayi, a former World Boxing Foundation and IBF junior bantamweight champion, has a record of 17-2-1, with 6 knockouts. He represented South Africa at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur and won the IBF junior featherweight belt on September 15, 2009 when he upset veteran Jorge Arce in Cancun, Mexico. He made a successful defence against Malik Bouziane before losing the title to Juan Alberto Rosas, who stopped him in the sixth round. In his most recent fight, on September 24 last year, he lost on a fourth-round technical knockout to Arce in a challenge for the WBO junior featherweight belt.
The southpaw Sonjica has built up a record of 15-2; 11 since his pro debut in June 2007. He has had two cracks at the SA junior featherweight title but lost inside the distance on both occasions to Macbute Sinyabi. In his most recent fight, in June this year, Sonjica stopped Pfariso Neluvhulani in the fourth round. Neluvhulani went 12 rounds with Sinyabi in a SA title fight last weekend.
The tournament is promoted by Mzi Mnguni of Eyethu Boxing Promotions.

Those black SUVs that travel with a presidential motorcade? They very well may have a 7.62mm minigun inside.
Video: Motorcade SUVs with miniguns in the trunk

If you're going to hire Machete to kill the bad guy, you'd better make damn sure the bad guy isn't you.
Something about this video makes me want to watch an episode of Airwolf.
That reminds me of video I saw years ago of a briefcase mp5 – there is something awesomely excessive about it all.
Haven't they fired one of these on Mythbusters?
That reminds me of video I saw years ago of a briefcase mp5 – there is something awesomely excessive about it all.
Aw, I was hoping it would be a more elaborate separation of the case from the gun, like in Ghost in the Shell.
Okay, when you say 'minigun', I expect to see a small type of gun. What I see in the video, is a Hellmachine capable of turning a crowd into a pool of blood and gore in a matter of seconds.
7.62mm you say? Wow! They will go right through you at short distances. Maybe the idea is to be able to hit multiple marks with one bullit.
If that motorcade goes through your neighbourhood, be somewhere else.
This seems like overkill for just about any situation the presidential convoy is likely to encounter, but I suppose it could be of use if the convoy was actually attacked by well-armed paramilitary types out on the highway or something.
I know that when I'm hanging out in the wasteland raiding passing convoys, I tend to avoid anyone with a gun that can fire 60 rounds a second.
Okay, when you say 'minigun', I expect to see a small type of gun.
They're called minigun because they don't fire 20mm rounds like the Vulcan. Compared to a Vulcan, this is a small gun…
Seeing a Vulcan fire is an assume experience. A friend of mine described it as "projectile vomiting bullets," which seemed very apt. At night, it fires so fast that the tracers make it look like it's shooting a thin stream of fire.
New president line: "Is that a minigun in your trunk, or you're just happy to see me?"
Anything firing 20mm rounds goes beyond my personal definition of a gun.
This seems like overkill for just about any situation the presidential convoy is likely to encounter
a) attackers firing from cover, either behind a vehicle or inside a building
b) a truckbomb or other vehicle intent on ramming the motorcade, even a small airplane
They already have something they use when the motorcade needs to travel through areas where a minigun would come in handy: It's called Marine One.
Glorious Overkill this is and arguably a necessary deterrent, at least to go grocery shopping in DC.
Small arms (.50 cal and below), larger arms and explosives are ridiculously easy to obtain/make in or out of this country if you want. Using them in an organized manner and getting close enough to the POTUS is an entirely different manner.
There are enough homegrown "terrorists", separatists, white supremacists and mis-guided patriots to warrant serious measures to protect the POTUS.
We've had anarchist crackpots in our country for 100+ years and arguably our country was founded by off-kilter rebels.
Personally, I would like to see machine shop ownership and spot inspections take place. Why smuggle anything into the US when you can open up a machine shop and build it?
I bet that the SUV accelerates at double the rate after firing that minigun for a minute or two. 8,000 bullets must weigh a ton!
Bob Dole, #4 – More than once.
I believe the idea of such overkill is to get the bad guys to duck for *just* long enough to evacuate the VIP.
Personally, I would like to see machine shop ownership and spot inspections take place. Why smuggle anything into the US when you can open up a machine shop and build it?
Yeah dude… nothing like turning the U.S.A. into a police state to quell your Hollywood Die-Hard terrorist fantasies. What a piece of work, you combine the ugliest parts of right-wing paranoia with the stupidest parts of left-wing firearm hysteria. Yikes.
Oh, and I bet anything that the Secret Service doesn't use these things:
1. Seems as likely to accidentally kill the president as protect him from anything.
2. Once of the things that the Secret Service is supposed to be paranoid of is a police officer, National Guard, or Secret Service agent killing the president. Good luck trying to stop a mole or disgruntle SS agent armed with one of these.
3. It just seems a bit silly.
Growing up in DC, my friends and I knew all about the 'war wagons' and their contents. Now do a story about the pop-up turrets in the lawns of the State Department, and my teenage fantasies will be complete…
@grimc: "It's called Marine One."
Actually, that designation applies only to the VIP helo, and only when the President is on board. Just like Air Force 1 is not the plane, it's the flight number with the Prez on board.
The attack helos in the air today are US Army.
I bet all that hot brass spilling down the front plays havoc with the paintwork.
With the "sunroof" doors open, though, it looks to me like you couldn't turn the gun 360 degrees, but you're limited to a small arc front (or back, if that's the way you popped up). But maybe the deal is they provide shielding for the shooter…
@21 I think the whole gun is on a turret and the panels rotate with it.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 14 University of Michigan football team rode a 10-point halftime lead to a 10-7 victory over Utah this afternoon (Saturday, Sept. 21) at Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines' defense led the way, limiting Utah to only 13 rushing yards on the day.
Michigan (3-1) was granted its first threatening possession of the game by safety Julius Curry (Detroit, Mich./Bishop Gallagher HS), who picked off a Lance Rice pass and returned it to the Utah 15-yard line. A seven-yard faked field goal rush by Philip Brabbs (Midland, Mich./H.H. Dow HS) put the Wolverines two yards from the goal line, however, Chris Perry (Advance, N.C./Fork Union Military Academy, Va.) fumbled as he dove into the end zone and Utah recovered for a touchback.
Michigan responded on its next possession with a quick, three-play scoring drive. The offense broke out of its slumber with a 44-yard pass to Edwards. Edwards out-jumped a Utah cornerback to haul in the pass at the 10-yard line. Two plays later, Edwards found himself wide open in the left corner of the end zone and was awarded with the football by quarterback John Navarre (Cudahy, Wis./Cudahy HS) to give Michigan a 7-0 lead with 1:39 remaining in the first quarter.
Brabbs extended Michigan's lead to 10-0 with a 37-yard field goal with 4:24 left in the half. The drive spanned 2:30 and covered 46 yards on seven plays. Consecutive rushes by B.J. Askew (Cincinnati, Ohio/Colerain HS) and Tim Bracken (White Castle, La./Saint John HS) for a total of 27 yards chewed up the bulk of the field for Michigan.
Michigan's defense set the tone in first half, holding the Utes to only 84 yards of offense, including just 10 yards on the ground.
After a scoreless third quarter in which neither team was able to reach the red zone, Michigan drove the ball to the 10-yard line five minutes into the fourth quarter and attempted a field goal. Michigan's season-long kicking woes continued though as Brabbs pulled the 27-yard kick wide to the left.
Utah took advantage of Michigan's inability to increase its lead, marching 80 yards downfield to cut the deficit to three points, 10-7, with six minutes left to play. The seven-play drive featured three plays with gains over 22 yards, culminating with a 29-yard touchdown pass from Rice to receiver Travis LaTendresse.
Michigan left the door open for a Utah comeback by missing a 42-yard field goal attempt after it had drained the clock to within the two-minute mark. The Utes could not take advantage of the opportunity, however, as two holding penalties pushed them back to their eight yard-line. Forced to make up ground quickly, Utah went to the air with less than a minute left, and Curry sealed the three-point U-M win with his second interception of the game.
Michigan opens the Big Ten Conference season at Illinois next Saturday (Sept. 28) in Champaign, Ill. The game will start at 2:30 p.m. CDT and be televised by ABC Sports.

Electro Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) for ED
A possible cure for Erectile Dysfunction.
Electro Shcokwave Treatment for ESWT for short has had a long history of use in medical treatment.
It was first used to break up kidney stones. Then it found its way into Sports Medicine where it was used to treat various sports injuries like tendinitis and ligament strains.
Most recently, ESWT has been used for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.
How does ESWT work for ED?
One of the causes of Erectile Dysfunction is the poor flow of blood into the penis caused by unhealthy blood vessels.
By shooting multiple low-intensity shockwaves into the penis, new and healthy blood vessels develop. This is known as neo-vascularization.
Who will benefit from ESWT?
Since this treatment is specific for blood vessel problems, only people with ED due to unhealthy blood vessels will benefit. These are usually old patients (40 to 70 years old) and may have chronic diseases such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure or High Cholesterol.
If your ED is due to other factors such as stress or side effects of medicines, then you will not benefit from this treatment.
ESWT can potentially cure patients with mild to moderate ED. For patients with severe ED, it will make them respond better to ED medicines.
What is the success rate?
Studies have shown that 76% of patients will have an improvement in their IIEF score by more than 5 points. Another study showed that 21 out of 29 patients treated had an improvement of their Erection Hardness Score from 2 to > 3.
In very severe cases of ED where the patient could not get an erection even with medicines for their ED (i.e. PDE5 inhibitors), after the ESWT treatment, 72.4% of them were able to get an erection with their medicines.
Overall, it is fair to say more than 70% of people will benefit from this treatment. Of course 70% is not a 100% and this success rate has to be balanced against the cost of the treatment.
What is the procedure like?
You will first have to visit Our Doctors to determine if you are a candidate for ESWT or not.
During the treatment, a clear gel will be applied on your penis and the base of your penis (either side of the scrotum). The treatment probe is place against the skin.
The probe will then send low intensity shockwaves into the treatment area. There should be no pain at all during the procedure. Most patients do not feel anything at all. Some report that they feel a slight tingling.
You will require a total of 6 treatment sessions.
- 1 session everyday for 6 days OR
- 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks OR
- 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks
Each treatment session lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Most patients will start to experience an improvement 2 weeks after completion of the treatment.
Some patients will require a second round of 6 treatment sessions to be done 3 weeks after the first round.
Some patients will require medicines during the treatment process to improve the neo-vascularization of the penis.
Treatment costs $400 per session ($428 with GST).
ESWT presents an exciting new therapy option that has the potential to cure ED rather than having patients rely on tablets.
The only drawback is that currently is only works for mild to moderate ED caused by blood vessel problems.
This treatment will be available in our Andrology Centre at Novena Medical Center from October 2014.

Hi Dr Tan
I'm 58, having low libido and suffer from ED. How would I know if ESWT is helpful to me? What kind of tests would you perform to decide the most suitable treatment?
Hi dr.Tan
I have the heart chronic prblems and diabete type 2 and use the high blood pressure tablets such as valzartan and sustac 6.4, metformin 500.
I have the problem of ED for one month. Before I had the problem but can be able to do the sex once in a week without any major problem except my ejection was not stable and lengthy.
As you know, I can not use the tablets including viagra as I take medicines such as nitroglycring(sustac),
Do you thin the ESWT can help me?
I am 52 years old.
Thanks in advance for your help and consultancy
Hi dr, i think i may have damage my penis by sleeping with the foresking retracted for so many times. Can this treatment could cure me?
My Doctor advised me to go for ESWT since I have been identified having venous leak. I am 63 years old, have regular medication for BP CHOLESTEROL DIABETES.Also had an implant of a stent in 2011. I am a heavy smoker and drink only a daily basis. Should I stop this bad habit before I start ESWT treatment? Please help.
I have a venous leak and went through a 6 session ESWT. I did not use Cialis during the sessions. The doctor did not tell me about that. I waited a lot and after the treatment there were 3-4 weeks when I felt good and got proper erections with sildenafil. But then the effect vanished in a few weeks. The nurse that gave the treatment told me that some men had taken 6+2 treatments and the last two were 2-3 months after the first 6. What do you think about this?
I'm 27yrs old and am diagnosed with an arteriogenic ED( penile doppler showed mild reduction in systolic blood velocities). Am I a good candidate for ESWT? Once done, how long will this be effective.
Dear Doctor
I have ED problem. I use to lead a very active sex life until I had a heart bypass operation in 2013. At times I may experience mild erection which last a short while and it went limp. I am age 72 and need help.
what would a penile implant cost and what are the risks in my case
Thanks and regards

Hi Doctor,
I am an old man age 63 and have been suffering from ED for many years since my fifties. I am unable to get erections at all unless I take Viagra or Cialis pill. Even then it is not a very hard erection.
I am wondering if this new treatment ESWT is effective and will cure my ED.
However, from what I gathered for this treatment to be administered, the penis need to be in a semi solid state long enough so that the shockwave could be applied to the shaft of the penis.
But my penis is always in the flaccid state which is less 2in in length, so will it suitable for ESWT treatment?
Hi Doctors,
I have some erection problems. I can maintain a very hard erection for a long time. It become semi hard after 7 – 8 mins and I will go soft when I am in some positions.
I have did the IIEF questionnaire. I am all right. I am wondering do I have ED? or is it other erection issues?
Can the ESWT help my erection?
Hope to hear from you soon.
I had been suffering ED for quite some time. My prob is when I m in lying position, my erection is not a problem. But once I stand up, the erection goes off straight.
Tats caused frustrations where I cant have sex when I m trying to insert it.
I suspect it's my blood vessel prob. However, do u have the necessary equipment to check on blood vessel? Or necessary equipment to check on the causes? Will the cost b vr high?
If you are young then most ED is psychological in nature. Particularly if you can get an erection lying down. If it was a blood vessel problem you would also experience it lying down. We don't have penis blood vessel checks available but we can certainly still investigate for you. If it really is a blood vessel problem we can use our machine to increase your blood vessels but this can be up to $400 per session and you may need several sessions. I would advise you come and speak to us first.
Hi Dr Tan, I'm only in my mid twenties, so will this treatment still be suitable for me? But I'm not sure of the cause too.. One more thing, how much is the total cost for the 6 session package now? Thanks.
i am from China,i have an ed with venous leak, i wanna try this treatment of ESWT to singapore,but i have a poor enlish,i am afraid of getting difficulty in contact with the doctors,could I talk with the doctor there in Chinese?is the name of hospital Novena medical center?
Hi Doctor,
I am from Jakarta, I will be travelling to Singapore next week. I would like to make an appointment for Electro Shockwave Treatment. I am currently under medication for impotency.
Hi, sure thing. The Electro Shockwave Treatment is available at our Novena clinic. Kindly call +65-63972095 to make an appointment.
Hi Dr Tan
How are you. I would like to ask if the success rate of this treatment is also dependent on the doctor carrying out the treatment. I am asking because I notice that Pro Lim from Gleneagles charges $3600 for the entire course. It is quite different from what your clinic charges. May I know why are there such differences.
My second question is pertaining to frequency. I read that in other countries , the recmended number is treatments is 12. However in sg, all the clinics do the treatments in block of 6. In your experience should 12 be more of an accurate figure for this treatment to succeed? Thank you for your time in answering my question.
Hi Doctor,
I am back to my country and I am very happy for the results. Thank you very much.
If there is a chance of you visiting my country, please let me know. I can show you around.
Hi Dr,
I am 55 male from Bandung West Java. I am currently on oral medication for this problem. I would like to try this treatment matter.
I am going Singapore to visit my daughter and her family next month. I will be staying in Singapore for 2 – 3 weeks.
I will just like to know the how long will this session be.
Thank you for your recommendation and after the treatments my performance has improved gradually.
ESWT is for those with blood vessels problem only? But how do I know if the cause of my ED is due to blood vessels problems or not.
Can I try this treatment regardless of whether it is due to blood vessels problem or not because this is the only treatment that can cure ED if I am not mistaken.
From what I heard, it is very expensive, just a few sessions of treatment will cost thousands of dollars, is that true?

Style Check: designers go native

While the beginning seemed to channel a girl who was lighthearted, cool and sweetly feminine, the final shows on the last day of Paris Fashion Week were wildly different. The Paris weather began to heat up and so did the visual message on the runways.
Moncler Gamme Rouge was next on the agenda, transporting the audience to a jungle setting - a common theme in set designs this season.
Some rather functional safari and khaki outfits were shown among the vines and green palm leaves of this exotic fauna.
Giraffe, python and leopard prints appeared, some of them nestled among plumes of dramatic feathers. It was clear that Moncler was answering the call of the wild.
Then feral skater boys whizzed by on their boards and, in true Moncler style, two men dressed as gorillas danced along the runway at the finale.
Another label employing the jungle as a starting point was Hermès, the final show I attended on the spring-summer 2014 calendar.
The label likes to think of itself as more of a luxury house than a fashion brand, and there is a lot of truth in that statement.
A line of loose, beautifully relaxed outfits solidified the silhouette (cinched at the waist) that Christophe Lemaire often revisits. However, a little more structure here and there would have been welcome - especially for his gorgeous jackets.
For the Hermès woman, hemlines will be conservative - low swinging, from midi-lengths to almost the ankles.
With bold floral prints and earthy tones, Lemaire was definitely looking to the East. We loved the leather croc-effect midi-skirts and the almost monastic series of white outfits which contrasted with inky forest colours.
Nature was a big inspiration at the Christian Dior show (it was called Against Nature) that was held in a fantasy garden setting complete with hanging plants and pastel blooms of lilac wisteria, pink orchids and some birds of paradise to mix it up. Raf Simons, who has a reputation for minimalism, pulled out all the stops with a show full of romance: think pleated floral dresses that followed the house's signature feminine silhouette.
The models - or as Simons called them, his "new tribe of flower women" - walked the runway as colourful vines dangled above them.

As the weather has turned colder, harvest is concluded and winter chores are taking less time, so it is time to focus on planning for next year. Whether in a cropping or livestock enterprise, the basis of success begins with a good fertility program. Let's look at some options that will help you be successful in 2012.
With rising fertilizer costs and uncertainty in prices for many fertilizer products going into the spring, many producers are asking where they can trim their fertilizer application for next year. While skimping on fertility never is recommended, there are some areas in which farmers can be a little more conservative.
First, be sure to soil test. You have no way of knowing what a crop needs without an accurate soil test, and without one, you could be over applying some nutrients, ultimately throwing away money.
Once you get the soil test results, sit down and take a close look at them. These results reflect how many pounds of nutrient need to be applied to build and maintain high soil test levels of the nutrient. Improved crop response only is seen when levels are in the low to low-medium range. Most agents review UK soil test results and make note of test levels that are in the low and low-medium ranges. (Personally, I circle levels in these ranges.) These noted recommendations cannot be reduced without expecting decreased plant performance. If soil test levels are in the high-medium to high ranges, nutrient applications can be reduced with little to no effect on plant performance in the coming year. Be extremely cautious if you do choose to be conservative on application of nutrients in these levels though. If you don't put it on this year, you probably will have to apply that much and more next year. You can only mine fertility for so long before it catches up to you, and crop performance is affected.
Once you decide how much fertilizer to apply, it's time to decide when to apply it. The simplest time to apply phosphorus and potassium for a corn or grass crop is in the spring when the nitrogen application is made. This saves a trip across the field, saving both fuel and time; however, this tactic only will work if your goal is maintaining an already high level of fertility. Phosphorus and potassium both take three to six months to become plant available in soil when applied through fertilizer, so if these nutrients are required to maintain plant performance, the best time to apply is in fall or winter. If you plan to apply fertilizer in winter, be sure the ground is either firm or frozen so the application equipment does not compact or make ruts in the field.
Take some time and plan your fertility program for 2012. Let's prepare and hope for a bumper crop next year, so we can continue with the task of feeding a hungry world.

|California Steaming
by Roger Bergen
The uniquely American hybrid that launched the microbrewery revolution has always been poorly understood. Made by using a lager yeast... at ale temperatures... in odd fermentors... it must be from San Francisco!
As most readers know, the term Steam Beer is the registered trademark of the Anchor Brewing Company. This is only fair: Anchor was not just the sole steam beer brewery to reopen after Prohibition but was the country's first microbrewer long before the term was coined, has been the pioneer of the craft brewing industry and inspirer of many microbrewers and home brewers, and continues its avant-garde work in interesting beers. Of course, microbrewers can, and sometimes do, work in this style, as do home brewers. The recognized term for the style is now "California common beer," an accurate, if pedestrian, appellation. Because this article takes a historical perspective, I use the term "steam beer."
Volumes have been written in both the specialist and general press about the successful revival of this once-moribund style, so as usual this article first examines the origins of the style, how it was once brewed, and some differences evident in modern Anchor Steam Beer. Once again, the Wahl-Henius American Handybook of the Brewing, Malting, and Auxiliary Trades from 1908 provides key insights because it contains the only known description of steam beer brewing in its pre-Prohibition heyday. The account in the accompanying box is not a portrait of Anchor before 1965, but a broad picture of steam beer brewing when the style was practiced by perhaps 25 brewers in San Francisco alone. It is unknown whether this account was written from first-hand observation of steam beer breweries or from second-hand information.
The Wahl-Henius account raises a number of interesting points. Although it presents steam brewing in its most developed form some 40-50 years after its obscure birth, the overall impression is one of rough-and-ready frontier brewing. The equipment is simple and inexpensive, and the beer is not tied up in long, costly aging. The process seems to be a hybrid of British and Continental (prelager) brewing practices allied with the then-fashionable bottom-fermenting yeast, with a dash of Californian ingenuity thrown in for good measure. Simple brewing like this must have been practiced by brewers, both native-born and immigrant, who traveled with their copper kettles and wooden vessels to the next greener pasture or boom town across the Wild West. The most noteworthy feature of steam beer was its high carbonation, but otherwise the narrative raises as many questions as it answers, leaving us to piece together the answers.
Either "roasted malts," presumably caramel and/or black malts, or caramel coloring were used. What is unclear is the meaning of "the favored amber color of Munich beer." This might have been the amber of Mrzenbier but is more likely the deeper color of Mnchner dunkles; otherwise the color would have been compared with that of Vienna beer. Modern Anchor Steam uses caramel malt to achieve its copper Viennese color.
The use of adjuncts was probably uncommon. Wahl and Henius were great advocates of adjunct brewing, which they felt was the key to chill-stable bottled beer (the adjuncts dilute the protein and tannin content). At the time, however, adjunct brewing was only about 30 years old, and most Eastern and Midwestern brews for local draft consumption were still all-malt. We have no reason to believe that conditions were any different in San Francisco in this regard, and brewhouses designed for raw adjunct use are on the whole more expensive and complex than the relatively simple plant most steam beer brewers would have possessed.
The hops used would have been almost exclusively California hops, primarily from the Russian River growing area, which at the time was the prime hop growing region in the United States (1). Downy mildew pushed hops out of the Russian River area completely by the late 1950s, but one farm hung on near Sacramento in the Central Valley until the mid-1980s. California hops were a variant of Cluster, and Russian River hops in particular were considered to be of very fine quality. My own experience with Sacramento hops confirms their excellent quality and finer flavor and aroma than modern Yakima Clusters. The role of a-acids in brewing was just being discovered in 1908, when chemical analysis was in its infancy. The only analysis provided in Wahl-Henius gives 4.7% a-acid resins and 8% b-acid (1), which we can use to arrive at a typical bitterness for steam beer. At the recommended 12 oz/bbl, added all at once at the beginning of the boil, we get about 40 IBU; added in three equal increments during the boil we get about 28 IBU. Alpha yields were highly variable, however, and although the benefits of refrigerated storage of hops were known, refrigeration was not widely used. Modern Anchor Steam uses whole-leaf Northern Brewer hops at about 0.5 lb/bbl, some of them added late for aroma, and has a bitterness of 30-35 IBU.
San Francisco has always had soft water. Well water from the San Francisco Presidio is reported to be soft with some sulfate -- perhaps 50 mg/L calcium -- and well water similar to this was the original water for steam beer. At the time Wahl and Henius were writing, the Hetch Hetchy water system had just come on line, supplying the city with extremely soft snowmelt water from the Sierras; today this water has a total dissolved solids content of 15 mg/L.
Brewhouse Process and Equipment
After hop separation in a hop back, cooling began in the surface cooler, also known as a "coolship," a wide, shallow vessel of copper or iron (1,2). Better-equipped breweries would have had a Baudelot cooler (1). This was a completely open heat exchanger in which the wort was trickled over a series of horizontal pipes carrying coolant, aerated by its splashing as it went, then collected in a pan at the bottom and sent to the fermentors. Anchor now uses a whirlpool tank and a plate heat exchanger with injected aeration.
Fermentation and Yeast
Enter the clarifier, unique to steam beer breweries. Some unknown brewer must have been inspired by the coolships used for wort cooling; perhaps the first clarifiers were coolships pressed into service for fermentation. The great surface-to-volume ratio of these vessels allowed the heat of fermentation to simply dissipate into the air. Another benefit, and possibly the root of the name, is that yeast would have settled quickly in the shallow vessels, enabling the beer to be racked immediately for quick consumption. Because bottom-fermenting yeasts do not form a protective "pancake" on the surface as true ale yeasts do, constant skimming must have been essential to remove airborne contamination before it could fall into the beer. Anchor still practices skimming to remove cold trub and hop resins. Although the use of starting tubs was universal in all breweries in the old days, Anchor now runs the cooled wort directly into beautiful stainless clarifiers, housed in clean rooms that are supplied with sterile-filtered, positive-pressure air at ambient San Francisco temperature.
The yeasts required to make this fermentation system work needed special characteristics. First, they would have to produce acceptable flavors at temperatures that were far higher than normal for lager yeast at the time. Second, they would have to remain in suspension long enough in the extremely shallow vessels to complete fermentation, then settle quickly. Third, it was essential that the yeast cooperate with the finings to create a firm sediment in the kegs; unfortunately lager yeasts have generally poor attraction to finings compared with ale yeasts, and many lager strains are unaffected by isinglass (gelatin finings prepared from calf hide were known; see reference 1). Given the demands made on the yeast and the primitive conditions, I suspect that yeast problems were common in steam beer breweries.
The source of Anchor's present yeast strain is a deep mystery. Those wishing to make a California common beer in conventional fermentors will find many suitable modern lager strains with good high-temperature performance. I recommend Weihenstephan 34/70 (Wyeast #2124) and Wissenschaftliches #308 (Wyeast #2308).
Postfermentation Treatment
The large number of actively fermenting yeast cells and the high pressure may have given some protection from wild yeast and bacteria for a while. On the other hand, until the beer had been cellared for a week or two, considerable acetaldehyde, diacetyl, and hydrogen sulfide must have been present -- the usual primary-fermentation characters associated with kraeusened beer, although warm storage temperatures would have hastened their reduction.
Pouring steam beer in a saloon must have been a chore far beyond that associated with today's product. I theorize that a slow, careful "German" pouring style must have been used, resulting in a billowing head and gentle carbonation in the mouth. Many volatile green-beer compounds would have been blown off by the excess carbon dioxide during the pouring. It was, in its first life, a rough-and-ready working man's beer and must have been especially enjoyed by the many English, Irish, and German immigrants who built the turbulent city by the bay.
This process was essentially unchanged in 1965 when Fritz Maytag took over Anchor Brewing. Even after sanitation and process control were improved, Anchor realized that the market required a stable and consistent beer and gradually introduced modern processes. Modern Anchor Steam has about 10-15% kraeusen, is cellared at cold temperatures for three weeks, centrifuged, polish filtered, and flash pasteurized before bottling. Carbonation is still high, at approximately 2.8 volumes for draft Anchor Steam and 3.0 volumes for bottled beer. Despite concessions to the modern world, Anchor Steam Beer remains both distinctive and authentic.
Let us thank the gods of brewing that Anchor Brewing survived long enough for a young Stanford graduate to let the whole world in on a great thing.

Rookie hunter in need of help
Hello all. I am as new as they come to the hunting community. I have never hunted in my life. For some reason I have an itch to shoot a buck. I live in central Florida and would like to hunt somewhere nearby to start. Ocala National Forest looks like as good a place as any, however I have heard some negative things about some that hunt there. Territorial disputes mostly. Being a new hunter I am bound to piss people off but I don't want to piss off the wrong person. Anyone have some areas they would recommend? I would prefer public land.
Hey buddy and welcome to the DHC. Just be sure to do your research on hunting public lands and have all the ins and outs. I'm not too sure as to how one hunts public land.
A good place to start is always your state fish and wildlife websites, here's a link to Florida's (WMA's) wildlife management area's with maps that show public hunting areas... Florida Outdoors Recreation Information for Florida Visitors and Tourists
Don't be afraid to contact your wildlife officials, they are usually willing to offer as much help as possible, their contact information can be found on the state fish & wildlife websites.
Good Luck & Welcome to the deer hunters club.
Sorry I don't know much about florida hunting- but welcome anyways!

Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, aka Robert Downey jnr, is suffering an identity crisis. Is he a man or is he just a suit of clothes made up of articulated metal parts?
The Marvel comics superhero has 42 of these suits in his wardrobe by the time Iron Man 3, his latest adventure, is under way and each one just worsens his problem. But that's enough psychology. I wouldn't want to give you the impression we're dealing with a character study here. Although the script does draw the occasional breath, action is the thing. While Stark dispenses his usual quota of one-liners, they're all delivered on the fly as the scenery blows up around him at an even more hectic rate than usual.

|Run Time
When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.
Full synopsis
We have two villains - Ben Kingsley comes close to stealing the movie as the Mandarin, an Osama bin Laden-type terrorist who's set up a base in the US, and Guy Pearce gives his wild side a workout as a mad scientist with a troop of zombiefied foot soldiers who are even harder to kill than Iron Man. And that's when Stark has one of his suits on. Amid the mayhem, so much damage is done to all 42 that he's frequently forced to go without.
Since The Avengers - which also featured Iron Man - exceeded Marvel's expectations by grossing a whopping $1.5 billion worldwide, the studio has embraced the view, more ardently than ever, that excess is the thing. With this one, it has said, it had just one aim in mind: to administer as many jolts to the nervous system as it could.
The studio has taken several risks, however. Purists are expressing disapproval at the shotgun marriage that has been arranged between two previously unrelated Marvel comics storylines. Despite his relevance to the contemporary political scene, the Mandarin first surfaced in the 1960s, while Pearce's nerdy lunatic, Aldrich Killian, made his Marvel storyline debut six years ago.
But the emphasis on comedy is really upsetting the fans, many of whom prefer to take Marvel's classic villains - and the Mandarin is one - much more seriously. I was grateful for the laughs. When they subside, things often become so frenetic that action is downgraded to random movement.
The first two films were directed by Jon Favreau, who reprises his role as Happy Hogan, Stark's driver and security man, and retains a credit as executive producer. The director this time is Shane Black, who made his screenwriting debut at 22 with the first Lethal Weapon movie. He also wrote the second, later becoming Hollywood's highest-paid screenwriter.
Then came a series of expensive flops, climaxing with his screenplay for the Renny Harlin-Geena Davis fizzer, The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996). After that, he declared he'd gone off blockbusters, and in 2005, re-emerged with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a witty, low-budget film noir pastiche starring Downey jnr, which he co-wrote and directed. It was this film, it seems, that helped bring him back to the big time; the Iron Man 3 script, which he co-wrote, shows the same flair for smart, fast dialogue.
When we catch up with them, Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts are living together in what would be perfect harmony if it weren't for his need to perfect an even more sophisticated Iron Man suit. Perhaps this obsession was sparked by the aliens he met in The Avengers or, more likely, it's a hangover from having encountered a couple of egos to match his own, but it's so bad he's suffering panic attacks.
Nonetheless, he's still cocky enough to challenge the Mandarin to come after him. And soon afterwards, his cliff-top refuge in Malibu, which looks like a neatly docked flying saucer, is attacked. It's demolished by an intricately paced series of explosions that give the film its main set-piece - although there are more to come. Amid the clanging of metal and the crunching of bone, we have another highlight in Iron Man's midair rescue of 13 people who have fallen from a plane.
If you're going to have jaunty dialogue, you need actors who can handle it and there are no problems in that department. Don Cheadle is back in the role of Stark's friendly rival, Colonel ''Rhodey'' Rhodes of the US Air Force, who has his own Iron Man suit - painted red, white and blue. And the marvellous Rebecca Hall (seen recently in the TV adaptation of Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End) has a small but effective part as one of Stark's former girlfriends, a biological scientist.
There is much to admire in the scale and precision of the demolition jobs that keep detonating around these characters, but if Stark really is having an identity crisis, the script would have benefited enormously from one or two reflective pauses. After all, The Avengers worked so well because much of the action stemmed from the competing sensitivities of the Marvel men themselves.
This time round, some of the best scenes are the simplest, involving Ty Simpkins, a young actor cast as an eight-year-old science prodigy who helps Stark out when he's suitless and on the run. Stark takes care of the witticisms while Simpkins plays his straight man - with a cool but innocent unaffectedness that is spectacular in its own way.

Boeing's Dreamliner problems continued when, less than a week after a 787 had to land because of engine trouble, a second jet had to be diverted over a mechanical problem.
A United Airlines flight on its way to Denver returned to Houston yesterday with a brake indicator problem. The Dreamliner only returned to the skies last month, after the entire fleet was grounded for four months over battery problems and safety fears.
Bank says funding costs will fall further
Britain's banks and building societies expect funding costs to fall further over the coming three months, a Bank of England survey showed today.
Its latest liabilities survey also said lenders expected to increase capital levels significantly over the period, though their demand for capital was weakening due to an improved economic outlook, shrinking balance sheets and less appetite for risk.
Export hopes give Germany a boost
The eurozone's main economic engine showed signs of life today as German business morale edged up for the second month in a row in June, according to the Ifo survey of 7,000 businesses.
Germany managed to eke out growth of just 0.1% in the first three months of the year but today's survey revealed a sharp rise in export expectations, potentially signalling stronger growth in the second half of this year.Reuse content

Small Business Banking - The difference of the human touch
Entrepreneurs who visit the Web site of Washington Mutual, the largest savings and loan corporation in the United States, will find a business planning center that offers information to guide them through the major stages of ownership: starting a business, managing and growing a business, and exiting a business. Topics range from bookkeeping basics to marketing tactics. Similarly, the Web site of HSBC, "the world's local bank," offers a small-business section that allows owners to find solutions to various issues, based on their location.
U.S. banks are beginning to see the increasing importance of small businesses and are opening their doors a little wider to this lucrative market. Their welcome includes a heavy dose of the human touch, for not only are bankers creating online resource centers for entrepreneurs, they also are forming partnerships with other organizations to reach potential small-business customers. For example, in conjunction with the U.S. Small Business Administration, HSBC sponsors small-business seminars nationwide, covering minority- and women-owned business programs as well as business and marketing plan development.
One possible reason for the small-business sector's new appeal to banks is the relentless growth in the number of businesses in the sector, with minority entrepreneurs leading the pack. According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data, the percentage of minorities who own businesses is increasing at a much higher rate than the national average of 10 percent. Between 1997 and 2002, the number of Black-owned businesses increased by 45 percent to 1.2 million. In 2002, receipts for Black-owned businesses totaled $92.7 billion, up 30 percent in the five-year period.
A Disconnect
While reaching out to small businesses is a positive step for many U.S. banks, often it is not a carefully executed step. A disconnect exists between what banks offer and what small-business customers need. A 2006 J.D. Power and Associates "Small Business Banking Satisfaction Study" found that although small businesses contribute significantly higher revenue to banks than retail customers, the incidence of problems experienced by small businesses is considerably higher. More than 50 percent of small businesses reported problems, compared with 31 percent of retail customers. Processing and transaction errors, such as incorrect deposit details, are the most common.
But the study also found that when experiencing problems, customers who identify a loan officer or bank manager as their primary contact are more satisfied. Dennis Hawthorne, a Brooklyn, N.Y., business owner, is a case in point. Hawthorne owns Dennis Shipping, a shipping company that serves the New York tristate area and the Caribbean. A Chase bank customer for more than 20 years, he insists that small-business owners must take the initiative to establish a relationship with their branch or account manager.
"When there is a problem, I simply call the branch manager and it is solved," he says. This is one of the main reasons why he reports a high level of satisfaction with Chase's services. "With my bank, there is a certain human interest, which one does not necessarily associate with banks. I have a certain level of trust and confidence that my needs are important and not just [my] sales numbers." His relationship with Chase includes a business account, a small-business loan, and a commercial mortgage.
New Offerings
These days, banks are offering small-business owners more than just the basics. Entrepreneurs now have access to payroll, tax and financial management services, as well as a growing portfolio of small-business credit cards that come in handy when owners need products but are low on cash. Larger banks offer cards that yield savings on everyday business purchases at Monster.com, TurboTax, Microsoft and DHL, as well as travel benefits. American Express offers business owners a choice of credit cards depending on their business needs, with savings rewards of up to 25 percent on expenditures with FedEx, Hertz and other service providers.
Business lines of credit are increasingly popular. Last year, for example, Bank of America launched its Business Credit Express product as an alternative access to capital. Through this product, small-business owners can access an unsecured line of credit of up to $100,000. They can use the line as often as necessary to satisfy immediate credit needs.
The Right Fit
Having new products and services is great, but entrepreneurs need someone to inform them of the most appropriate products for their business. A cookie-cutter approach to small-business banking is not sufficient. Developing a personal relationship with bankers is essential not only for getting a loan, but also for dealing with hard times. Taking the time to get to know bankers is an important ingredient in demonstrating "character" to lenders, according to the Service Corps of Retired Executives, a nonprofit organization whose members serve as counselors and mentors to small-business owners nationwide. The group contends that a branch manager who fully understands the needs of a business client is in a better position to make recommendations and guide the client through the major phases of business ownership as well as offer assistance during hard times.
Hawthorne agrees. "It is important for business bankers to offer entrepreneurs insight and guidance and not just products and services for the simple fact that it makes my banking experience a one-stop shopping facility," he says. "I can draw on the expertise of my banker in areas like taxes, retirement planning [for my employees] and other long-term financial planning."
Finding that "one-stop shopping facility" is a challenging task, especially when small-business owners are just in the beginning phase of business ownership. Still, it is important for business owners to find a bank that suits their needs. According to the 2006 J.D. Power and Associates study, banks that are proactive in contacting their small-business customers about new products and services, or about the customer's account needs, generally receive higher satisfaction ratings. However, 44 percent of small businesses indicate they have not been contacted at all by their primary bank.
To succeed, small-business owners need to apply their entrepreneurial spirit to being proactive in creating and maintaining strong ties with their bank. First, however, they should shop around until they find a bank with the right fit for their business. More than developing a good relationship with branch managers, Hawthorne says, business owners must practice fiscal discipline by avoiding overdrafts, managing their credit score and avoiding account abuse. He also advises entrepreneurs to take advantage of Internet banking, which facilitates banking and allows for easy account monitoring.
Tips for Finding the Right Bank
The Service Corps of Retired Executives (www.score.org) offers the following tips for finding the right bank foryour business and maintaining a solid relationship with that bank.
- Understand the basics.Large or small, banks are interested in the same fundamentals: cash flow, collateral and the viability of your business.
- Sell the bank on your company.Provide solid information on its financial history, your business plan andinformation about the kinds of loans you need and the terms you want.
- Look for a good fit.Let prospects know what kind of a relationship you want with a bank.
- Ask the right questions.Find out where decision making takes place, how many people you will have todeal with, and whether the bank is open to meeting with you and your advisers fairly regularly.
- Commit time and energy to developing your relationship with the bank you choose.Get to knowmore than one person at the institution, so that if your bank is merged or acquired, someone familiar withyour business will probably still be around.

The Greek Grill of Huntington
The Greek Grill of Huntington has been part of that community for nearly 10 years, but Long Island isn't the first island the restaurant has called home. The eatery was originally located in Cyprus, just miles from Greece and Lebanon in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. And though it moved more than 5,000 miles away, the Greek Grill still uses all the same from-scratch recipes, serving generous portions of traditional dishes such as spanakopita, chicken souvlaki, and marinated lamb chops. There's gyros, of course, which are complemented by casual American eats such as all-beef burgers topped with bacon and cheese.

Excerpts from Metro Council President David Bragdon's state of the region speech, 'Beyond 19th Century Government,' delivered to the City Club of Portland on Feb. 13.
'All too often those of us in the public sector confuse the menu with the meal.'
'Land-use planning in Oregon needs to change. É Those of us in government need to maybe put aside the zoning crayons and pick up some of the tools of the marketplace.'
'I always find it very ironic when the critics of smart growth claim that building sidewalks or encouraging lofts above stores is some type of government-controlled social engineering, whereas paving an eight-lane highway through somebody's house is somehow the invisible hand of Adam Smith and it's a mythical free market that did that.'
'Regional planning no longer needs to be driven by fear of what we don't want Ñ sprawl Ñ but can also be driven by the things that we do want Ñ great urban and suburban places, the types of places that Jane Jacobs (author of 'The Death and Life of Great American Cities') describes as socially vital and economically prosperous É the attainment of a lively city-region, not merely the containment of it. É If the first 30 years (of Metro) were about planning, the next 30 need to be about investment: private and public.'

Turkish officials presented an indictment of the so-called Ergenekon gang which is accused of attempting to incite violence as a prelude to overthrowing the government. The indictment came 13 months after the nation was rocked with news a secret group had plotted to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Erdogan and President Gul who head the Justice and Development Party(AKP). The indictment charges 86 suspects who include former generals in the army, leading academics and politicians of planning to create a diversion of violence in order to justify overthrowing the AKP which they hate for its Muslim leanings.
The case is important because it suggests the existence of an organized plot by those who fear the secular basis of Turkey is being undermined by the AKP. These people allegedly planned a series of violent actions in order to prove Muslim leaders were responsible for the resulting chaos in the country which would then justify intervention by Turkey's secular minded army leaders.
It remains to be seen if the charge can be proved in a court of law. Some critics believe the charges are an attempt by the AKP to divert attention away from its own legal problems.

NBC's Todd described McCain's support for the war as the "maverick thing to do"
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
On the March 28 edition of NBC's Today, NBC News political director Chuck Todd asserted: "It would be easy for" Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) "to criticize the war. The maverick thing to do is to actually take the unpopular stand." But, while McCain has supported President Bush's decision to increase U.S. troop levels in Iraq, he has also recently touted himself as "the greatest critic of the conduct of the war and one of the earliest," as Media Matters for America noted. Similarly, in a March 21 article, the Concord Monitor (New Hampshire) reported that McCain said, "I was the greatest critic of the way the war was being conducted." Moreover, McCain joined 45 of the 48 other Senate Republicans in voting to strike a provision in the Senate emergency military funding bill that Bush opposes, which says that Bush "shall commence the phased redeployment of United States forces from Iraq not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, with the goal of redeploying, by March 31, 2008." Bush called a similar provision in the House version of the bill an "an artificial timetable for withdrawal" and said he was "not going" to "accept" it. After the Senate vote, Bush announced that he was "disappointed."
This is not the first time Todd has described as "maverick" McCain's support for Bush. As Media Matters noted, on the March 13, 2006, edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews noted that McCain urged attendees at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference to vote for Bush in a straw poll of potential 2008 presidential candidates. Matthews also highlighted McCain's defense of the Bush administration's decision to allow a company owned by the government of Dubai to take over port operations in six U.S. cities. Todd responded that for McCain "right now, rallying around the president is the maverick thing to do."
From the March 28 edition of NBC's Today:
NORAH O'DONNELL (MSNBC's chief Washington correspondent): Republican Senator John McCain left the campaign trail to try to defeat the Democratic proposal.
McCAIN: What we must not do is to give up just at the moment we're starting to turn things around.
O'DONNELL: But McCain admits his support for the president's Iraq policy has hurt him with support and fundraising.
TODD: It would be easy for him to criticize the war. The maverick thing to do is to actually take the unpopular stand.
O'DONNELL: McCain's chief rivals for the Republican nomination, [former Massachusetts Gov.] Mitt Romney and [former New York City Mayor] Rudy Giuliani, also oppose a timeline for withdrawal and support a surge of U.S. troop strength.

AZ jeep ideas and suggestions
I split my time living in Yuma and Payson. Just picked up a 99 TL 4 cyl auto that is very stock. As a fisherman I'd like to get it set up to follow map blue lines here in AZ especially up on the Rim. I'm thinking about armor and recovery first, then lift, suspension, and wheels. I'm very interested in what folks here in AZ have done to make their jeeps better for going off road in AZ. Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed.
Check out OR-FAB first since they are in Chino Valley. They have top notch product and customer service.. Plus as a local you get a little discount normally as well
Poison Spyder also makes quality armor

Muncie man gets 12 years for stalking ex-girlfriend
A central Indiana judge has sentenced a Muncie man to 12 years in prison for stalking his former girlfriend, including calling her more than 1,000 times over a two-week period.
Delaware County Judge Marianne Vorhees told 25-year-old Darryl J. Goodwin during Wednesday's hearing that "your actions speak very, very loudly to me."
The Star Press reports Goodwin was convicted of two counts of stalking, and had earlier been convicted of battering and harassing the same woman.
Prosecutors say Goodwin stalked his ex-girlfriend during a two-week period in January and February in which he sent her more than 800 text messages, some of them threatening, and called her cellphone more than 1,000 times.
Chief Trial Deputy Prosecutor Eric Hoffman called Goodwin's crimes "vile and disturbing."

Newspaper owner to put $27 billion Canada refinery plan to regulators
By Julie Gordon
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - A Canadian newspaper mogul is pushing ahead with a $27 billion plan to build an oil refinery on Canada's west coast, hoping to file for regulatory approval before year-end and with construction targeted for 2016.
The 550,000-barrels-a-day plant would easily be Canada's biggest refinery, producing gasoline, jet fuel and diesel for Asian markets from the output of the country's rich oil sands.
David Black, president of Kitimat Clean Ltd, also told Reuters in an interview that he had launched informal talks with the federal government on loan guarantees for Chinese investors such as the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
"I've begun discussions with the federal government," Black said. "I haven't presented anything to them yet, but I've been very encouraged with their responses and it is in line with what the government has done many times before for projects that are vital to Canada's interests."
Black is better known as the founder of Black Press Ltd, a Canadian newspaper chain that owns more than 150 print and online papers, including the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and the Advocate in Red Deer, Alberta.
The newsman-turned-oil-investor said that he expects to file for regulatory approval soon.
"I hope this fall," he said. "We have the technology and the refinery approach nailed down, so I think I could do it this fall."
The environmental review is expected to take two years and construction will take six, putting start-up around 2022. Continued...
