Hubby and I are planing a himebirth for our second... First one was in a haspital... Trying to figure out the $... Found a great midwife and assistant for $3000... Any ideas how much an ultrasound is/was for you? I am seven weeks and would want a u/s if Feb so trying to plan ahead for cost... Any help would be great!
Do you have insurance? Even if they won't pay for a homebirth, they should cover an ultrasound, at least in part. I believe they're usually a couple hundred dollars--perhaps around $300?

Proud Mama to DS1 09/07 , DD 07/09 , and DS2 06/11 . Feeling more and more blessed with each day!
paid outta pocket for my midwife, but also qualified for state low-income medical coverage. ii used that for all my bloodwork and ultrasound/nst @42 weeks. I saw the bill for that before medi-cal processed it and it was $1300 for the nst/ultrasound/back up doc visit. insane, no wonder everything is so jacked.
maybe that is an option for you...? It's also wonderful in case of a transfer and any applied medical costs there~
I'm currently going to school to be an ultrasound tech. Here's what my online lecture had to say...
Examinations cost between $250.00 for a renal ultrasound to approximately $800.00 for a complete fetal survey.
You could also go without the ultrasound but I know I couldn't not know the sex. Good luck. Hope this helps...
I just got our private insurance EOB from my 20 week ultrasound. Preinsurance cost was $579. It was a standard fetal anatomy scan.
Mom of 7, ages 13, 12, 9, 7, 5, 4, and 2.5!
For one of my ultrasounds, I paid $300 for it. I'm not sure if it was because I had not met my deductible yet, or if that was just my share of the cost. If you have health insurance, it should be able to be covered at least in part.
Just got my bill from my insurance. $531 for the 20 week ultrasound. Insurance paid about $300 and I still owe $200. But there is a great ultrasound place here that charges $290 for the anatomy ultrasound.

First, check with your insurance to see if they will cover it. If they will not or if you will have to meet a high deductible, call around. I live in a very high COL area and the cash/self-pay discount price for ultrasounds (20-week) spanned a very huge difference from under $200 to over $1000, all from reputable imaging centers (not centers that only determine the gender). It's pretty disgusting, if you ask me.
Thanks everyone! I think I am just going to have to call for prices and check out my insurence (I do not have the maternity rider, but I also have not been diagnosed pregnant, so I might still be able to get it).
If you are thinking of adding the maternity rider, usually there are waiting periods before they will cover a pg. Like add the rider and wait months to a year before coverage will start.

Yes to this post! Last pregnancy I started off with an OBGYN/CNM practice and the place they referred out the 20 week ultrasound to an imaging center that was a preferred provider for my insurance. I had a high ded. and it cost me $1000 AFTER my insurance adjusted the amount they were allowed to bill. This pregnancy my Midwife sent me to a different place, also a preferred provider, and they billed like $500. It was the same insurance plan for both.
A little off topic, but did your midwife have to order your u/s? My insurance doesn't recognize my CM as a "healthcare provider" so won't accept an order from her, but I don't want to have to go to my family practice doc to get an order for a u/s.
Wife to a wonderful husband, mom to 5 amazing boys, 2 m/c and Knox Cornelius our 5th son born at 15weeks 12/3/2011, Lillian Faith our 1st daughter, born at 14 weeks May 19, 2012 (Turner Syndrome).
My midwife did order the ultrasound. I would think that would be fine in your situation, because she wouldn't be the "healthcare provider," the ultrasound place would be so as long as they were a preferred provider your insurance company wouldn't care? Just a guess.
I'm in the same boat as you are. My homebirth midwife told me she knows of a clinic an hour away that does them for $175, so I will probably go there. I'm going to call my ob/gyn first though and see what it would cost to go there. I was assuming it would be around $500.
Mama to three
I had mine done during my required visit to the backup OB. After insurance, it was about $200. My cousin had a baby born with a heart defect that was detected at the 20-week anatomical ultrasound, so, for me, it was a non-negotiable to have it done no matter the cost.
Well, depends greatly on payment method. If its a level II with private insurance about 800-1000 or normal ultrasound at 20 weeks with self pay 150 cash.
My u/s @ 23 weeks was $120 cash.
It also depends on your age. I used a mw, with a family doc as back-up (the mw cannot order u.s. in my state, only a doc). Since I was of "advanced maternal age" (36), I was sent to a neo-natal specialist and my u.s. cost around $1200!!! Totally unecessary expense since I only cared about placenta position and heart chambers, but I didn't realize that there were differences in u.s. procedures. If I get another u.s. for another baby, I will insist that doc order me a standard u.s. which should cost a few hundred.
My 8wk u/s (3 m/c prior to this pg) was $620, insurance adjusted that amount to $527, which I paid OOP because we hadn't met our deductible. And, my CPM is not able to order an u/s, I had to have 1 appt with the CNM at the OB practice in order to get the u/s ordered.
People with high(er) deductibles or people who are going to get an ultrasound close to the end of the year and haven't met their deductible for the year, should probably call the office and find out the insurance vs. cash rate. There is a huge difference and you could save yourself a lot of money.
Our midwife doesn't do u/s, so we went to a freestanding u/s place. We paid $50 for the basic package. Which included a 5-10 min. u/s. She used both 2D and 3D. She listened to the heartbeat and took basic measurements. If any issues had been detected we would have gotten a free consultation with the Dr.
I don't know if you have a place like this in your area, but it would definitely be worth looking into!
Sarah, partner to J and mom to DD1 April 30th, 2002 and DD2 May 5th, 2012.

This - I should have called around and regret it. Got an $800 bill. Next time, I'm not going to the hospital the mw referred me to but I'll go to an imaging center and pay cash up front. Since I had insurance (high deductible...I paid everything), they wouldn't allow me to pay up front or shorten the scan. I should have walked out and found a different place. Insurance was billed for over $1200 (was reg scan and then a transvag at 20 weeks).
We always use an ultrasound studio and the lowest is about 75 dollars (as of 3 years ago...so it may have went up a bit)....there are more expensive packs were you can actually get really cool photos. We opt for the cheapest, just because the whole purpose for us to get one is to check baby position as I do unassisted homebirths. We do get a few black and white prints included in that cost. You can also hear the heart beat and depending on the person doing it sometimes they will let you get a quick look at the more complex dementions even if you didn't pay for it. =) The particular place I go to, also says that they send the pic of the spine to a dr to look at and if there are any problems, they will let you know. I have never heard back on any of my kids...so I don't know if they actually do it or not...or if it is just that my kids' spines are fine.
Hope this helps! =)
P.S. Also ultrasound studios tend to more cozy than hospitals and allow the whole family in =)

Cisco opens its doors to net storageAugust 20, 2002
Cisco said it has committed $50 million to the data center firm and, depending on the company's performance, could shell out an additional $42 million in funding.
Nuova Systems will become a majority-owned subsidiary of Cisco. The remaining 20 percent of the company will be held by Nuova's employees.
Cisco has the option to buy the remaining 20 percent of the subsidiary, which could happen sometime in late fiscal year 2008 or early fiscal 2009, the company said. Depending on the success of Nuova's products sold through Cisco, the payout for the remaining 20 percent stake could be anywhere between $10 million and $578 million, Cisco said.
The deal reunites former Cisco executives with their old employer. Mario Mazzola, former chief development officer at Cisco, helped start Nuova after his retirement in 2005. Mazzola was joined as a co-founder of Nuova by three other former Cisco executives--Luca Cafiero, Prem Jain and Soni Jiandani--all of whom came to Cisco back in 2002 as part of an investment-turned-acquisition. Cafiero, Jain and Jiandani had all been at Andiamo Systems, a company Cisco had invested in and later bought in 2002.
Nuova hasn't yet announced a product, but Cisco said in a press release that its technology will complement Cisco's current portfolio of products for corporate data centers. Those products include the Catalyst 6500, an Ethernet switching and Internet Protocol routing product; the MDS line of storage switches; and the SFS server networking switches.

Loaded Peanut Butter Banana Bread
You know how much I love peanut butter by now, right? Because I really, really, reallyreally need that fix every day. Preferably in some kind of peanut butter cup, but I'll take the stuff straight up as well. Stirred, not shaken. With a spoon!
Years ago, I was part of a tour group in a foreign country. We stopped in a grocery store, and there on the shelf was a jar of Peter Pan, imported and outrageously marked up in price. I bought it immediately and without any hesitation, despite the fact that everyone in my group was mocking me for spending so much on a jar of peanut butter.
Well, folks, the laugh was on them. I sat on the tour bus, opened the jar, inhaled the sweet aroma and looked up, only to realize that the entire bus was eyeing my Peter Pan with what can only be described as mad lust. And for the rest of the trip, people kept asking if they could have a taste. They missed it so much, you see, and I was the smart one. I was also nice and shared, but not after a whole lotta "I told you so" lectures.
It was at that moment that I realized how powerful peanut butter was, and how much I wanted to try doing everything I could with it. So that's at the root of so much of my baking, including this banana bread.
There's a lot going on here. First of all, I added some nutrients to the batter by using peanut butter instead of actual butter, and I also used oat flour rather than all-purpose. Oat flour works really well in banana bread. Just imagine what oats do in other recipes, and you'll start to see it! Plus, if you use gluten-free oat flour, that will help out your friends who can't eat gluten. And oat flour is far better for your body than the white stuff.
But of course, life is about balance. So with the nice healthy adjustments, I also put in peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips and mini peanut butter cups. A lot of them. Because peanut butter, chocolate and banana is a surprisingly addictive combination, and you're hearing this from somebody who's not that into bananas. In fact, when Ben and Jerry's banana peanut butter Greek frozen yogurt came out, I never expected to like it, much less get addicted to it. But it happened! That stuff is the best!
This banana bread mixes up quickly in one bowl. Then you just pop it in the oven and try to be patient! The hardest part is being patient. Everything else is easy peasy.
I would also like to point out that I'm a gooey cake person. Not underbaked, but definitely on the gooey side. The oat flour helps with that and I'm a sucker for its softness. I prefer my cake cold (don't judge!), but you can see that I photographed it while it was still warm with the chocolate all melty.
So happy Monday. My day is always so much better when there's banana bread for breakfast!
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy)
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped in half
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Add in the other ingredients (except the chocolate and candy) and mix thoroughly. Reserving a few of each, fold in the peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips and milk chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the reserved candy.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool and cut into slices.

Jersey Shore
Would You Watch Jersey Shore Season 6 If Snooki Didn't Live at the Shore House?
Earlier this week, MTV confirmed that they will be bringing back the original Jersey Shore cast for Season 6, to be filmed in Seaside Heights this summer. Since Snooki is now pregnant, the petite star has said that she wouldn't be living at the Shore house, but will probably drop by for a couple of scenes.
The truth is: Snooki makes Jersey Shore what it is. It will be a pretty bleak season if the only Snook time we got was her occasionally popping her head into the house during Sunday dinner. We want to see Snooki acting wild and crazy, complaining about her ever-expanding baby bump, and narrowly avoiding arrest by the Seaside Heights PD.
Will you watch Jersey Shore Season 6 if Snooki is only a minor character? Vote in our poll below.
Read more about Snooki's pregnancy.
Jersey Shore airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Henin-Hardenne finished as a year-end No. 1 for the second time in her strong career thanks in part to her performance at the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships, where, for the first time ever, three women were vying for the year-end top spot. The diminutive Belgian collected the $1 million top prize by going 4-1 in Madrid, including her title match victory over the previous world No. 1 Mauresmo. Henin-Hardenne exacted a bit of revenge against Mauresmo, who topped JH-H in the finals at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon. But let's not forget that Henin-Hardenne left a sour taste in quite a few mouths at the Aussie Open, where she retired during the second set of her setback against Mauresmo, who was not given a chance to ultimately seal the deal with a match point thanks to Henin-Hardenne's decision to quit with stomach pains.
JH-H became the first player to appear in all four major finals in one year since Martina Hingis turned the trick nine years ago
The 24-year-old Henin-Hardenne won the French Open (by beating steady Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova in the finale), lost to Mauresmo in the Aussie Open and Wimbledon finals and gave way to the big-hitting Sharapova in the U.S. Open title bout. The Belgian star is a five-time Grand Slam champ and an Olympic gold medalist, with only Wimbledon eluding her in a quest for the coveted career "Golden Slam."
JH-H led the tour with six titles in '06 and exceeded $4.2 million in prize money. Her record for the year was an awesome 60-8.
Henin-Hardenne's been a mainstay in the women's top 10 six years running, placing inside the top five on three occasions, and is certainly my pick as the best player on the female circuit.
The 27-year-old Mauresmo, who posted a 51-14 record in '06, sat atop the WTA rankings for a majority of the year and wound up with four titles in her best- ever season on the circuit. The classy French star has finished inside the top five four straight years and has been a member of the top 10 seven of the last eight years.
Sharapova, like Mauresmo, also became a two-time Grand Slam champion this year when she upended Henin-Hardenne in the U.S. Open finale. The Russian teen secured her first major title at Wimbledon two years ago and has been sports' top glamour girl ever since.
The 19-year-old former world No. 1 Sharapova tied for second on the tour this year with five titles (her fellow Russian Nadia Petrova also recorded five championships).
Sharapova was a formidable 59-9 for the year and currently stands at No. 2 in the world, followed closely by Mauresmo in the official rankings. The tall Russian has placed inside the top five the last three years.
The Siberian native Sharapova wasn't the only Russian stalwart this past season, as she was joined by Kuznetsova and Petrova.
The busy Kuznetsova is currently fourth in the world, thanks to a three- title, 60-match-win season (60-20). Her biggest victory came in Miami, where she upset her countrywoman Sharapova in the final of the so-called "Fifth Slam," the NASDAQ-100 Open. The 2004 U.S. Open champ and '06 Roland Garros runner-up Kuznetsova reached at least the semifinals in 13 of her events this year. Talk about consistency.
The other great Belgian star, former No. 1 Kim Clijsters, failed to reach a Grand Slam final for the first time since 2002, perhaps due in part to yet some more problems with an ailing left wrist. The 2005 U.S. Open champ was unable to defend her title in Flushing due to the injury and has already said that 2007 will mark her final season on the tour.
The world No. 5 Clijsters won a trio of titles in '06, finished the year with a 43-12 mark and is still clearly one of the top-four players in the game.
How'd the Americans do this year, you ask?
Don't ask.
The once-powerful U.S. produced only three titles all year long, and they came from the likes of Meghann Shaughnessy and Vania King. Yes, Meghann Shaughnessy and Vania King. Shaughnessy titled twice, with her first title of the year giving the U.S. its first champion of the season in May, which means there were no Americans champs from January through April.
The Americans failed to produce a Grand Slam finalist and didn't send a player to the season-ending Championships for the first time in the 35-year history of the exclusive tournament. They failed to get a player past the quarterfinals at any of the majors, and didn't even have a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon where their best showing came from Shenay Perry, who bowed out in the fourth round at the All-England (and apparently no American women) Club.
So what happened to former No. 1 Americans like Lindsay Davenport and the oft-injured superstar Williams sisters?
Well, Davenport battled a back injury for a large chunk of the season and wound up playing in only eight events. She managed to reach the quarters at the Aussie and U.S. Opens, but was unable to title anywhere and is now ranked 25th in the world. There have been rumors that the three-time Grand Slam champ may retire from the circuit.
Stay tuned.
What about Venus and Serena? The 2005 Wimbledon champion Venus was limited to a mere six events this year, while the '05 Aussie Open winner Serena competed even less, showing up at only four tourneys, mostly because of ailments. Combined, the former world No. 1 siblings went titleless and also plummeted in the rankings. Venus, who did manage to reach the quarters at the French Open, is currently 48th on the planet, while Serena is way down there at No. 95.
It wasn't long ago that the David Bowie tune "I'm Afraid of Americans" would have applied on the women's tour. But how 'bout now? Is anyone afraid of Meghann Shaughnessy, Vania King or Shenay Perry? You know the answer.
On a more pleasant note, another former No. 1 returned to the tour this year and, quite frankly, thrived.
The "Swiss Miss," the aforementioned Hingis, returned from a three-year hiatus and promptly went 53-19 with a pair of titles. Her biggest win came at the Italian Masters, where she beat no less than a quintet of top-20 players, including one of her biggest rivals, Venus, in the semis.
The 26-year-old former top-ranked Hingis wound up reaching four finals and ultimately qualified for the prestigious season-ending Championships. She crossed the finish line at No. 7 in the world. Impressive.
I wonder who's going to be named as the Comeback Player of the Year???
And if you want to talk about team tennis (and who doesn't?), Italy secured its first-ever Fed Cup championship when a doubles tandem of Francesca Schiavone and Roberta Vinci prevailed against a Belgian duo of Henin-Hardenne and Kirsten Flipkens when JH-H retired in the third set of the fifth and deciding rubber because of a knee injury. What a way to win, or to lose for that matter. And yes, if you're scoring at home, the great Henin-Hardenne retired from a Grand Slam final and the Fed Cup final in an eight-month span.
Where's the gut check?
Don't worry tennis fans, the ladies will return to the courts soon enough, with the drama resuming on New Year's Day for the start of the 2007 campaign.
See ya next year.

American Family Voices
- Location:
- Marching Since: January 31, 2006
American Family Voices (AFV) has a tradition of encouraging its members to get involved with important projects that affect our daily lives. The "Virtual March on Washington" is just that.
The Stop Global Warming Virtual March on Washington is a bipartisan effort to bring all Americans together in one place, proving there is a vast consensus that global warming is here now and it is time for our country to start addressing it. With the support of leading scientists, political and religious leaders, prominent Americans and concerned citizens, the Virtual March on Washington is moving across the United States via the Internet from one town to the next, showing the evidence of global warming's alarming affects, and highlighting real people's concerns and real solutions along the way.
AFV is proud to partner with this effort and to take the first steps toward preserving the environment. We march today, because if we do nothing we will be left with the consequences tomorrow.
The world is already seeing the effects of climate change: the change of seasonal weather patterns, the drastic increase of the melting rate of polar ice caps and glaciers and the rise of sea levels. These are all indicators of events to come. Even the Pentagon has issued warnings about the future, if global climate change is permitted to continue.
America is responsible for the majority of the world's pollution, yet the White House and the Republican leadership in Congress refuse to help resolve the problem. Instead they are helping the polluters almost every chance they get – lowering regulations on industry and cutting deals with polluters that reduce the standards on emissions, while simultaneously fighting to tap into our nation's natural resources and shrink our parks, sanctuaries and preserves.
The power of grassroots America is unstoppable, and it is our hope that you will personally join us and help mobilize your friends as well. Like you, we understand that the earth's resources are limited and that it is our mandate to help change the way we treat our environment and natural resources.
We feel it is our duty to join in the fight to stop global warming and to encourage you to do the same. A clean and healthy world is the greatest legacy we can give.
Please join us.

The Monadnock Region
Unlike some other parts of New Hampshire, it's hard to capture an overarching picture of the Monadnock region through economic and demographic information. In fact, looking at US Census numbers, both Cheshire and Hillsborough Counties could be described as "overwhelmingly average" compared to the state as a whole. The only major economic deviation from the state's overall numbers appears to be a single tier of home prices. While 28.2 percent of New Hampshire homes fall into the $300 thousand to $499,999 price range, Cheshire County reports less than half that figure.
The real economic picture of the Monadnock Region is much more subtle.
Like much of New Hampshire, manufacturing is a major source of jobs. In fact, Cheshire County is only second to Sullivan County in the Dartmouth-Sunapee region for the percent of area wages paid by factories. Hillsborough County comes in a close third.
Despite the heavy industrial presence, the Monadnock region maintains a largely rural character. It's home to the oldest–and longest-running–artists' colony in the nation. The countryside also supports a number of small-scale organic farms. And the region's shared border with Vermont has made for some interesting cross-state collaboration in the local foods movement.

Japaribbean Meets Soul Food For a Good Old Fashioned Feast
When you think Thanksgiving I am sure that the first thing which comes to your mind is not Caribbean, Japanese and Louisiana Soul Food. That is of course unless you have been lucky enough to take part in the 20 year strong Vancouver tradition known as Big Al's American Thanksgiving. With another one rushing upon us in just a little over a week I thought it would be worth paying a visit to the partners behind this event and sharing their stories with you.
Soul Food
"Big Al" Robinson moved to Vancouver from Lake Charles, Louisiana 40 years ago as a rookie with the BC Lions but was sidelined by a knee injury before ever taking the field. While some might consider that a bad twist of fate, anyone who has met Big Al knows that this was the beginning of Legend. You see, at the age of eleven Al's mother had forced him to work in kitchen of his family restaurant and so facing no football Al turned to what he knew, food. Since this unfortunate incident Big Al has run such Vancouver favorites as Bourbon Street, Happy Hour Cafe and most recently Big Al's Soul Food. While Al no longer has a restaurant, his catering business, Big Al's Catering, is thriving.
On the other side of this partnership is Ken Brooks and his wife Junko Tanabe, owners and proprietors …READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY>>>

Hot answers tagged saab
From what I have seen and read over the last few years the "general rule" has become best tires on the rear. In my opinion it is likely the result of litigation by people who were involved in skidding accidents. The theory as far as I understand it, is that with worn tires in the rear, the back end can loose traction and allow the rear of the car to attempt ...
Yes you need to replace the grease when you replace the boot. That grease lubricates the joint, if you don't have enough inside the boot the joint can fail prematurely. On a side note don't use one of the quick boots (the ones designed to be put on without taking the CV joint off of the car), in my experience they are worthless. Here is an example of a ...
I'm living in a country where we need proper winter tires during that season so I have to switch between tires sets twice a year. Each switch I rotate the tires (rotation depends if the tires are direction or not) and mark the position on the one I remove for the next season to make sure to rotate them. Tire rotation is recommended (by Transport Canada and ...
Remove the shaft, and throw the boot away. Clean out the old dirty grease, after cleaning the part of course, and replace both the grease and boot. This gives you a chance to inspect the joint, and clean up any dirt residue that will speed up the deterioration of the CV joint.
No sense at all. You will have a terrible time finding any parts for it. My coworker had a very nice Saab last year, until a thief broke one of his windows. He searched high and low for a new window, and even if one could be found, it would have been overpriced. In the end, the Saab was replaced with a different car simply because of a broken window. Imagine ...
Saab Automobile Parts AB was not included in the sale of Saab Automobile AB. It is now in the ownership of Swedish National Dept Office. Saab Automobile Parts AB is not included in the sale of Saab Automobile AB The parts company continues to serve Saab customers globally with Saab Genuine Parts and aftersales service and also to expand its ...
The part on the picture is called "Companion flange" as per Saab's own electronic part catalogue (EPC) - number 7 on the drawing below. I'm not sure which one in particular you need, so here's the drawing itself: Full size Check whether your engine type is among the listed above. Part numbers are listed on the right, and you can use those when ordering ...
I think you need to jot down your VIN number and plug it into a VIN decoder (check out saabnet.com for starters).
I am not sure about Saab, but BMWs have a blowout resistor that controls the fan speed. The telltale that the resistor went bad is erratic/inoperative fan behavior.
I did some research on some Saab forums. I found that typically on US bound Saab 9-5 a bulb is installed on both sides. However, the metal circuit on the passenger side is cut to disable that side. This is to prevent the rear fog lights from appearing as brake lights (there are arguments about the legality of dual rear fog lights in certain US locations). ...
What should I use to lubricate the flaps that controls the temperature and which vents the air comes out of?
In lieu of a better (more specialized) answer, I would use high temperature grease. Nothing too expensive though, I doubt those hinges get hotter than 500F.
It's almost always cheaper to fix than replace a car. However when faced with major repairs I always recommend two things. Second opinion/estimate Cost analysis Get a second opinion and estimate. In your case base on the information provided the estimate is really high. I am assuming the "heatbox" is the Heater Core Case if so that's about a 5 hour job, ...
TireRack has an article specifically on this topic http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=52 -- edit: just found this: http://www.michelinman.com/mediabin/Approved/Michelin/Visuals/Digital/Two_Tire_Poster_Michelin_042009.pdf
If the question involved a brand that sold more units worldwide and had a history of using the same parts for many years I would go for the Saab if it was what I really wanted. I don't know many people who rely solely on the dealer for parts of seven year old cars. Most go to the aftermarket or used for routine wear and crash items. If 2007 was the last year ...
Are you using the correct spark plugs, or aftermarket? OEM makes a huge difference in certain vehicle brands.
An auto-electrician who installs alarms and remote unlocks would probably be able to help. The cars that do this already generally require you take the key out, too. I know high-end Subarus will re-lock a car within a minute or so if you don't open the door.
The legal requirement (in the UK) is for there to be at least one, however where your car is fitted with two rear fog lights they should both light up, otherwise you could fail an inspection if the police decided to stop you. All the cars I have ever owned have had 2 rear fog lights, but you do see a lot which have one side fitted with a red fog light and ...

Smashwords: Self-publishing site for E authors
May 23, 2008 | 6:09 am
By Joe Wikert
The Smashwords service surfaced earlier this year and I first mentioned it in this post. Now that I've spent more time investigating it further, uploading some files and examining the results I find it even more attractive.
Mark Coker is Smashwords' founder, CEO and author advocate. He was kind enough to answer all my questions about this exciting new publishing platform. Here's what he had to say:
JW: Tell us about Smashwords.
MC: Smashwords is a digital self-publishing site, kind of a hybrid publisher/online bookstore. We allow anyone anywhere to become a published e-book author simply by uploading their finished manuscript in Microsoft Word format, and then we automatically convert it into multiple DRM-free e-book formats.
JW: What was the impetus behind you founding the site?
MC: The idea grew out my own experience as an author. My wife and I co-wrote a novel a few years back, and despite being repped by one of the most respected literary agencies in Manhattan, no publisher would take the book [Boob Tube—about the TV soap opera industry]. I found it frustrating that a publisher could stand between an author and their potential audience, especially in today's age where print on demand and the Internet are such forces for disintermediation.
JW: There are quite a few self-publishing outfits that handle the print side. Smashwords looks like a great approach for self-publishing in the e-book world. Is that how you've positioned the service?
MC: Yes, digital self publishing is our focus. We provide a platform for authors and even traditional publishers to publish and promote their books in digital form.
JW: What if someone wants to do both types of self-publishing, print and e-book? Are the rights set up so that authors can easily do both?
MC: Our publishing contract is non-exclusive, so we leave it to the author or the rights-holder to determine how and where they publish their book. I think in the future, most authors will become more independent-minded, and will begin to insist on controlling more and more of the rights for their works. This trend presents both a threat and an opportunity to publishers. Publishers who serve their authors the best will flourish.
JW: What's the financial model for an author considering Smashwords?
MC: I think most people agree that the traditional print publishing model fails to adequately compensate many authors. I blogged about this the other day. With Smashwords, we re trying to take a more author-centric approach. We give authors or publishers 85% of the net proceeds from each sale.
So the formula for the author's share = (sales price – transaction fee) * .85. By offering authors and content owners a bigger slice of the pie, we allow them to price their product lower yet still make higher per-unit margins than through print publishing. Lower prices increase consumer demand, and higher demand plus higher per-unit profits create a wonderfully disruptive win-win situation for consumers and content owners alike. The biggest challenge facing digital publishers is how to increase adoption rates for digital books. I'm confident digital books are destined to go mainstream with multi-billion dollar sales levels, yet clearly this is several years off.
JW: When an author publishes with Smashwords their content will be available in a variety of formats, including Amazon's Kindle. What are all the formats you offer and are authors able to pick and choose from this list, limiting their content to certain formats?
JW: Authors can set their own pricing as well as determine how much of the content is freely readable before a customer has to pay. What's the upper limit on that free access feature?
MC: The upper limit for free access is 100% free, which we support. From a sampling perspective, the author or rights holder can set their sampling rate from 0% to 99%. If they set it at 60%, for example, as I did with my own book, the first 60% of the book's content is available for free online viewing through our online readers. Sampling is a critically important marketing technique, yet few authors or publishers take proper advantage of it in the digital realm. The thought process here is that we as authors or publishers are competing for the time and attention of our readers. If we earn their time and attention, the revenue will come. If a reader invests several hours to read the first 60% of your 300 page novel, odds are they'll want to buy the book to finish it.
JW: E-book pricing has become a pretty popular topic, particularly on the Kindle forums. Since you support both short- and long-form content I'm wondering if authors will want to test different pricing levels at first to see where the sweet spots are. They also might want to offer a discount from time to time. How frequently can authors change the prices of their books on your service?
MC: Authors can change the pricing or the sampling rights as often as they like.
Moderator's note: I added the Boob Tube-related video and art. It will be interesting to see if the Cokers' self-publishing can land them the contract they couldn't get through the agent route, if that's what they want. Same for other Smashwords authors. Good luck, Mark and Lesleyann! – D.R.
Related: Joe's interview with WEbook founder Sue Heilbronner, as well as past TeleBlog items on WEbook (Group-written books and others from WEbooks: P-editions of highest-rated titles and WEbooks 'makes writing a little less lonely,' says upbeat Washington Post article). Also see other press coverage of Smashwords.
@ Joe: Thanks Joe!
@ David: Hi David! Re: Boob Tube, at this point I'm not interested to sign with a traditional p-publisher. The advance and commitment to print run and marketing would need to be pretty high to compensate for the downsides:
1. I'd need to wait another 12 months for publishing
2. The book, like nearly all p-books, would be given only a few weeks to sell through before book stores returned it to the publisher for full refund. Do I want the success or failure of 5 years of work to come down to two weeks of judgment? No! Like many authors, when we first set out to write Boob Tube we dreamed of landing on the front table at Barnes & Noble. But even if we did, at what price would come that fleeting celebration? I want the book "in print" forever.
3. Most first time authors receive dinky print runs and no promotional support.
4. It pains me to think the digital version of Boob Tube might be DRMed, or not available everywhere in the world.
5. I don't like the thought of losing control over how my book is marketed, sampled, priced and sold.
6. Most authors never earn more than their advance.
I think in the not-to-distant future, authors will re-evaluate their ambitions for their written works. A new indie spirit will arise where many authors, even those previously successful in the p-world, will start to take back more and more control over their books, and I think this inevitability will be driven by the favorable economics of e-publshing, increased consumer demand for digital books, advances in POD, and the maturation of solid digital self-publishing platforms that help indie authors become more successful than they could have otherwise become in the conventional print world.
We're seeing signs of the same already in the music industry. Books are just a few years behind. Unlike the music biz where physical CDs are going the way of the dinosaur, however, I don't think p-books will ever go away completely because the p-format offers such a great reading experience. The future ideal is where a customer can purchase and consume their book in whatever form suits their fancy. If they want a p-book or e-book in 20 pt. purple Palatino, they should be able to buy it that way. I'm sure such a book would offend the senses of all good book designers and typographers everywhere. In this business, the customer should get their book their way, otherwise they've got one billion + other alternative options for their entertainment and information consumption needs.

My greyhound is the coolest pet because…
Mid-South Greyhound Adoption Option asked our Facebook friends to share their thoughts on why their adopted greyhounds are the coolest pets ever. We hope you enjoy this small sampling of their observations as much as we did! We will share the male viewpoint in the near future.
Kimberly Hadden: He loves me unconditionally!!!
Marsha McGee Chance: He thinks I rescued him, but in reality, he rescued me.
Kathleen M. Fisher: They get me exercising and I don't even know I am because I am having so much fun I don't even know I am exercising.
Cynde Vaughn: They are the sweetest most loving dogs EVER!
Terry Johnson: She does not know she is a pet – she thinks she is human! And I am certain she is more highly evolved than we are. She has managed to make us her servants…:-)
Martha Bowman: They let me live with them, they love me no matter what life brings us and they enjoy the simple things in life and can ALWAYS bring a smile to my face even when I would rather scream or cry.
Stay tuned for more reasons why greyhounds are the coolest pets ever!

Whoever pulled the trigger (so to speak) on this acquisition may have just been caught up in the moment.
They like both the acquisition and performance of muscled masculinity.
"EOTS is a poster child for one of the ills of the acquisition process," the official said.
late 14c., "act of obtaining," from Old French acquisicion (13c.) or directly from Latin acquisitionem (nominative acquisitio), noun of action from past participle stem of acquirere "get in addition, accumulate," from ad- "extra" (see ad-) + quaerere "to seek to obtain" (see query (v.)). Meaning "thing obtained" is from late 15c. The vowel change of -ae- to -i- in Latin is due to a Latin phonetic rule involving unaccented syllables in compounds.

Australia have brought in a law that cigarettes can only be sold in packets with graphic medical pictures of their consequences on the front. No more the red and white of Marlboro packs, or the shiny gold of the B&H.
Apparently people are campaigning for the same law to be brought in here.
I think it is a lot of nonsense.
Make cigarettes illegal by all means. They are dangerous, addictive, delicious, killing sticks of joy. And I miss them. But I won't smoke again because I made the choice not to. Well. I might start again when I am 90. As a reward for not being dead yet.
When I was smoking and hadn't reached the point of deciding to stop nothing would have persuaded me too. In the grip of addiction I got very defensive when told to stop, even by my own children. And I was fully aware of the health risks, as well as similar pictures already being a feature of tobacco packets in this country.
The knowledge of the health risks was not enough to make me quit. Until the day it was. When I discovered I was pregnant with my third I stopped smoking, and this time I have kept to it. I still miss it, but I will not allow myself to go back to it.
It is a decision I have made for myself, not based on images or government programmes. I think most people who successfully stop do it because they have had a personal epiphany of some kind. It may be personal ill health, a person in their lives having cancer, or like me they may just realise that they want to live long enough to see their grandchildren more than they want to smoke.
I doubt there is smoker out there naive to its dangers, so I doubt the change of packaging will change their habits. It may of course improve sales of cigarette boxes to decant them into!
If the government and wider society is so concerned about the effect it has then why not just introduce an outright ban? They say the packaging will put off young people, but not being able to purchase them in a straight forward fashion is surely going to put off more of them!
I just don't get it. Either leave people to enjoy their LEGAL activity in peace, or ban it completely. Don't ostracise people for partaking in a perfectly legitimate activity. Nothing made me reach for the rizlas more quickly than a sanctimonious never smoker telling me what to do.
I do wish everyone stopped, but I don't know this is an approach that will make a lot of difference. What do you think?

This week I'm very close to succumbing to my cravings…….very close. All these packets would do is, make me buy a nice packet holder off the market for a £…….stupid! xx
Beesley Buzz
A HUGE well done to you for giving up – it must have been soooo difficult. I personally would love an outright ban because even though things are miles better for non-smokers since the ban of smoking in public places (we used to find it so hard to have a meal out in a non-smokey atmosphere before that), there are still plenty of times when we are just walking down the road and end up with lungfuls of someone else's smoke. Especially tough on J who is asthmatic and I'm really sensitive to it too. I get a sore throat and watering eyes at the slightest hint of smoke. I don't think it will ever be banned though because of the tax revenues the govt receives and I guess those who smoke and really feel strongly that they want to keep smoking would also make their views heard.

I quit the fags nearly ten years ago now due to a cancer scare and an operation (turned out to be benign thankfully!) That was enough for me to stop. And it's only been after I have stopped that i have really taken stock of what a selfish cow I was. Never thinking about how my actions were affecting other people around me. The guilt the guilt. My nan even let me smoke in her house. No one else smoked in my family.
I am really really bad ex smoker in that I HATE the smell of it with a passion. Cannot stand someone lighting up next to me, or walking behind someone smoking, or dare anyone blow smoke in J's direction I might not be responsible for my actions.
This type of packaging has been used in Canada for years and years! I remember seeing pics like this back in the 90's there where they cigs were hidden away out of view and you had to ask for them. So the UK is only now upping the anti.
Well done on giving up! That's brilliant x
The Beesley Buzz
I loved it when we had a holiday in Canada – we were able to eat out without smoke all around us – and that was years before the UK followed suit. Well done Exeter mum for giving up too x

Huge features of the Electronic Cigarettes comprise the information that it by no means has to be lit since it operates mechanically each time you puff.

The largest ancient Egyptian sarcophagus has been identified in a tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, say archaeologists who are re-assembling the giant box that was reduced to fragments more than 3,000 years ago.
Made of red granite, the royal sarcophagus was built for Merneptah, an Egyptian pharaoh who lived more than 3,200 years ago. A warrior king, he defeated the Libyans and a group called the "Sea Peoples" in a great battle.
