Diagnosing Alzheimer's:
New Blood Test Suggests Possible BreakthroughBoston--A new blood test that has the potential to diagnose Alzheimer's disease in an individual and significantly advances drug testing and research on the disease, has been developed through grant funding by the Cure Alzheimer's Fund. The test, known as "I.S." for "Immunosignature" and developed by a team led by UCLA neurologist Lucas Restrepo, uses a special method of fluorescent tagging of antibodies in the blood to recognize an identifiable binding pattern -or antibody "signature" - associated with Alzheimer's. In their study to be presented at the 2014 American Academy of Neurology Meeting in Philadelphia, Restrepo and colleagues were able to use the test to distinguish Alzheimer's patients from elderly people without dementia with 95% accuracy. "This is an important contribution to Alzheimer's research," said Rudy Tanzi, chairman of the Cure Alzheimer's Research Consortium. "We cannot treat what we can't diagnose, and Alzheimer's research has been severely restricted by our ability to reliably, consistently and precisely diagnose this disease in all its progressive stages. If these results are confirmed, I.S. could be used to make diagnosis easier and swifter, and for researchers to test potential therapies much faster and more effectively." Alzheimer's diagnosis has been a daunting problem for the medical profession. For many years, there were no even marginally-reliable biomarker tests to determine if someone had the disease. Over the last decade, researchers have developed somewhat reliable methods using Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) profiling of tau and beta-amyloid proteins, and radioactive compounds combined with PET imaging. These methods, however, are cumbersome and expensive, leaving the research and medical communities eager to develop a cheaper and more reliable test - ideally a quick, and easy blood test. In March, a team led by Howard Federoff at Georgetown University Medical Center announced, in the journal Nature Medicine, another new blood test that seems to successfully predict future onset of Alzheimer's. Federoff's test is based on a different sort of "signature" comprised of ten different fats in the bloodstream. Restrepo and his colleagues had the idea to focus on antibodies because Alzheimer's is known to be associated with markers of inflammation in the brain and blood stream. "We thought that detecting antibodies might be promising, as these are markers of diseases that a person has been exposed to," said Dr. Restrepo, a neurologist at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, "but I was frankly surprised that we were able to discern such a unique signature. I'm grateful for the support from Cure Alzheimer's Fund, and hopeful that this discovery will help both accelerate the pace of research and improve the care in the Alzheimer's community." Restrepo's colleagues on this study were the inventors of the microarray used as the platform for the I.S. test, Drs. Phillip Stafford and Stephen Albert Johnston, from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. "The outcome of this study hopefully provides people another tool to target the disease earlier, before irreversible brain damage or mental decline has occurred," said Cure Alzheimer's chairman Jeffrey Morby. "Getting out in front and funding smart but risky studies like this one is what we're built to do. You can't have dramatic success like this without taking big, smart risks."

Why Twitter is My #1 News Source and How to Make it Yours!
How many of you still read printed newspapers?
They're a thing of the past for me, but I remember reading The Des Moines Register not that long ago. As the media relations manager of a hospital I'd start my day by reading (OK, skimming) the Register, looking for stories – or angles to pitch stories – about the hospital, physicians or clinics. I also reviewed multiple web sites, weekly papers and a few monthly publications every day, which took me about 30-45 minutes at the office.
Fast forward to today where I'd get that same information – and a whole lot more – in about 5-10 minutes via Twitter. I'd have access to it 24 hours a day, seven days a week from virtually anywhere, as long as I had a phone, tablet or computer. It wouldn't matter if I was at the office, in my car or at my son's soccer game; I'd be in the know!
That's why Twitter is my top news source and should be yours too. Unfortunately, most people don't know how to use it effectively, so they sign up, but never return. Here's why and how I use Twitter as a news source.
Twitter is efficient for gathering news and information
What I like most about Twitter is that I choose the source(s) of my content. And my choices are seemingly endless due to the vast amounts of individuals, companies and news affiliates sharing content on Twitter. Moreover, because Twitter limits user posts (unlike Facebook) to 140 characters, it's like reading headlines. If something catches my eye or I want more information, there's often a link to a blog post, article, video or photo. Finally, hashtags make it easy to find and sort information.
Twitter can be anything YOU want it to be
Think of Twitter as a collection of your favorite websites, experts, interests and news sources all in one place. You select the source, categorize it and the information is delivered to you. All you have to do is tap the icon on your phone to access timely, relevant (because it's based on your sports team(s), your hobbies or your profession) and, likely, objective content.
Here's an example to help put this into perspective. I'm a huge Iowa Hawkeye fan! I used to visit several Hawkeye websites regularly for scores and highlights, player stats, recruiting news, schedules and a whole lot more. Today, I follow 49 experts/companies on Twitter who I view as "in the know" about the Hawks and regularly share content. When I need a Hawkeye fix, I pull up my list on Twitter, sit back and take it all in. I have similar lists for technology, social media, local news and more.
The secret to using Twitter – organizing your content
To make Twitter a useful source of information, you really need to sort and organize your content. To do this:
1) Create a Twitter List for all your interests – it only takes a few seconds to set up a list and is, by far, the best way to organize your content. View 6-second Video to Learn How! Or use Twitter's advanced search feature to refine your search.
2) Use Twitter Search to find content – again, it only takes a few seconds to search by topic, name, keyword or hashtag. View 6-second Video to Learn How!
3) Search and sort by Hashtag – consider searching by Hashtag to find content as well as people talking about that content. View 6-second Video to Learn How!
Anyone can leverage the content on Twitter
I believe everyone should be on Twitter. It's simply an efficient and cost-effective (i.e. FREE) way to access information from all over the world – on the topics you care most about. So give it a try! Your customized newspaper is just a click away.
Why do you use Twitter? Do you have any tips or tricks to pass along regarding Twitter or Twitter Lists? How else are you using Twitter to gather intelligence? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so drop me a line in the comments or on Twitter or via LinkedIn (add LinkedIn link).

Abu Khader Automotive launches new finance offer making ownership of BMW 3 Series reality in cooperation with Bank al Etihad
Building on the 3 Series success as BMW Group's best-selling model and the remarkable sales growth the car has witnessed over the last couple of years in Jordan, Abu Khader Automotive, the official BMW Group importer in the Kingdom has launched a special finance offer for the BMW 3 Series in cooperation with Bank al Etihad.
The finance offer available for 2014 BMW 3 Series models, is payable over four equal annual installments starting at JD11,650 and includes the optional addition of a 10 year BMW Service Inclusive package that covers all major servicing and replacement of selected spare parts and related labor costs. In addition, customers can replace their current car as a compensation for the first payment and re-schedule the values of the remaining 3 annual installments according to the trade in value of their current vehicle.
The offer has been launched this February and will conclude by the beginning of March 2014. The BMW Service Inclusive package offers the financial security of being able to budget the ownership cost for the ten years inclusive period without worrying about unexpected service and repair expenses. It even enhances the resale value of the car, if the car is sold before the expiry of the package; the remaining benefits are fully transferable to any subsequent owner as the package belongs to the vehicle.
Commenting on the offer, Tareq Al Naber, Senior Sales Manager of Abu Khader Automotive, said: "Customers' loyalty and satisfaction are the cornerstones of our business success and we will continue to find ways where we can make BMW's ownership easy for them from the moment the car is purchased right throughout their ownership period. We hope this finance and service offer will attract more customers to the BMW brand and further strengthen the sales growth of the 3 Series model".
Customers who are interested to take advantage of owning BMW 3 Series can contact Abu Khader Automotive to request a test drive and experience for themselves the "Sheer Driving Pleasure" that has made the BMW 3 Series one of the best selling cars in the world.

Alright a couple things about the mirrors you should know guys:
No, they arent breakable. What kind of fiendish mirror maze would allow you to just break out? That's silly.
I know I didn't say anything about that, but I guess because I knew it, I forgot to write it down. Your attempt to do anything to the wall fail, Bliv.
Climbing over the wall is an option, but getting a grip on the smooth surface, holding the razor sharp edge (When was the last time the Jester was hurt by anything, huh?), and pulling yourself over before Shadow Liza gets ahold of you is extremely hard to acomplish and will probably end badly.
No shadows for at least a post now. Give you a break to start running.
A bit more on Shadow Liza:
While your attacks don't keep her down, she is able to be held back for a second, and slowed down each time somthing gets a good whack at her.
Her attacks is she gets close to you, involve skewering you on her long claws. She isn't very fast, attacks whoever is closest to her, and doesn't speak. As long as you try to go through the maze normally, you should be fine.
As for Randy and Liza, Randy's in the maze still but all alone (Not a good idea in the coming posts) and Liza is like two feet in front of you. She's not away from the group just yet. Just started running.
EDIT: Good thing you didn't try and hold her off, Bliv. Fire
>Ice here. You wouldn't have lasted too long.
EDIT EDIT: *reading TvTropes page* Aww, how cute. You guys think that the mirror maze is Liza's. No, that's someone else's bread and butter. Shadow Liza's just here. She's not important... just an obstacle. Just a hint, she's not the b*tch that the Jester was speaking of either.

Center For Academic Excellence
Writing Center | Coherence
Writers often forget that after the first draft, where--of course, you write to get down what you know and think--all other drafts are written with the audience in mind. So in the first draft you explain what you mean to yourself; in all other drafts you explain to your reader.
One of the features of English (a language structured on a subject-verb-object pattern) is a theory of coherence. The definition of the word cohere indicates a logical connection, a consistent "sticking together." In order for your audience to understand what you write they must have some means of following the ways you have put your ideas together.
Many conventions help the reader, such as transitions, pronoun references, and repetition, but a key one is the flow of ideas from old to new. That simply means that our brains are wired to attach new information to the old information we already know. You learned to skate when your mother tied a pillow around your behind, put your skates on, and told you to act as if you were walking. You learned the new skill, skating, by connecting it to the old skill, walking. In grammatical terms, that means the subject of the sentence (the actor, if you cannot remember what the subject is) is old information, and the new information comes in the predicate of the sentence, (or the part that names the act).
|OLD information

The reader says, "Who in the heck is Steve?" because the writer put new information in the slot for old information. If Steve had been introduced as the writing consultant in the predicate of the first sentence, the reader would not have been confused.

May Melt – 9 Day System
It is important to understand how many people think these days. They want quick solutions. They want astonishing, but easy results. Not thinking long-term, they would as soon make a single sale that brings in a substantial amount of money rather than do the work necessary to establish long-term, residual, growing wealth.
AND THAT'S OK! We're not going to change anybody's way of thinking overnight, so an alternative approach is to go ahead and appeal to that kind of thinking. Enter the Isagenix 9 Day System. While I much prefer to help people commit to their long-term health, a 9 Day is appealing due to the duration of the weight loss plan, not to mention the lowered cost relative to other systems.
Whether it's May Melt or June Jump Start, (and I'm sure we could conjure up catchy labels for any other month) labeling the initiative helps to keep it fun and memorable. Listen to this call from 05.01.17 to hear some great tips for garnering interest, in particular with Facebook and Instagram. You can also PM (private message) or email a Candidate with the graphic you see above. It's a great time of the year for someone to shed 4-18 lbs and a pant size or two just in time for bathing suit weather!

NEWENGLANDFILM.COM: ASK THE SCREENPLAY DOCTOR column
"Where to Send Your Script"
When you believe you are ready to submit your screenplay for representation or to a production company, put yourself in the executives' shoes. Make sure that your screenplay is really ready for submission and that you are not sending it off because you think it's good enough as is, and someone else will fix it. Do not be lazy! Your script is your calling card. If your script has typos, grammatical errors, copy machine marks, missing pages, sloppy mistakes, formatting errors, and so on, be warned — your script will be discarded and there is a very good chance that the company will never want to read anything else that you send them.

Hardeeville names new interim city manager
Hardeeville City Council approved Rose Dobson-Elliott as its new interim city manager Thursday.
Dobson-Elliott, who currently lives in Brunson, most recently worked as Bamberg County administrator. She also has worked as a Jasper County deputy administrator, Hampton County administrator and Yemassee economic development specialist.
"She has quite a bit of experience," City Council member Mike Sweeney said. "I would say she has about 20 years with Hampton, Bamberg and Jasper counties. She knows the job and I think she'll do well."
Sweeney said council met Dobson-Elliott last week and she will start work in Hardeeville this week.
Dobson-Elliott replaces Tom Johnson, who was named interim city manager when Bob Nanni resigned from the full-time position Feb. 6. Johnson also works as the city attorney and as a Jasper County councilman.
City officials have said the search for a permanent city manager could take about six months.
Dobson-Elliott has a bachelor's degree in science and business administration from the University of South Carolina. She has had professional training in business development, finance and government.
"I'm pleased that the interim city manager position is in the hands of someone who has the appropriate education, background and skill set," Johnson said.
Johnson said Dobson-Elliott's will be paid based on a $80,000 a year salary. If she remains interim city manager for six months, she will be paid $40,000. Her tenure officially begins Saturday.
Nanni, Hardeeville's fifth city manager since 2008, was hired in November 2011. He replaced Carey Smith, Hardeeville's interim manager, after Ted Felder resigned.
Nanni earned an annual salary of $90,000.
"Council is also deciding to reassess what to offer the permanent city manager in the future," Johnson said. "They're going to decide whether to make it the same as Mr. Nanni's, less, or theoretically, more."

Metro's top rail executive is stepping down.
Dave Kubicek is resigning from his job as deputy general manager for rail operations after six years at the transit agency, according to an internal memo. He was the top aide to General Manager Richard Sarles.
Kubicek, whose resignation is effective March 18, led the agency's push to catch up on track maintenance after years of neglect and the June 2009 Red Line crash, which killed nine people and injured dozens more.
He also engineered the purchase of the new 7000 series rail cars, which are due to arrive next year and will replace Metro's oldest railcars and beef up the system for the new Silver Line.
Sarles praised Kubicek in a memo to employees Wednesday.
"He embraced the need to create a safety culture, maintain and rebuild the rail system and prepare for the arrival of the Silver line," Sarles said. "I personally appreciate the energy and passion he brought to his role on a 7-day a week/24-hour a day basis."
Kubicek's announcement Wednesday came as a surprise to Metro watchers, raising questions of a possible shakeup in the transit agency's top circle. Kubicek has not announced any future plans, Metro said.
Among Kubicek's responsibilities were the safety and maintenance of Metro's rail operations -- which have experienced several nasty and public problems recently.
January's meltdown on the Green Line was a public relations headache for Metro, as hundreds of riders chose to evacuate from dark, hot trains stuck in a tunnel after an employee mistakenly cut power to the tracks. Tuesday's single-tracking on the Orange Line was another potentially unsafe foul-up, as riders had to pack platforms and trains because crews were working furiously to repair a signal that a test train broke overnight.
Metro said Kubicek was leaving because he wanted to move on from the transit agency. He will be temporarily replaced by Rob Troup, assistant general manager of transit infrastructure and engineering services.
"After six successful, hard years of service, Mr. Kubicek had indicated his desire to do something else," Metro spokeswoman Caroline Lukas said in an email.
Lukas said only Kubicek and Sarles "had discussions prior to today's announcement" but that most employees did not expect the resignation.
Metro refused to say how much Kubicek was being paid. The Washington Examiner obtained his pay records under a Freedom of Information Act request in 2011, which showed he earned $260,000 in 2010, including a $30,000 housing stipend. Sarles is making $350,000, according to his contract.

Fulham - New Brede Link
Once the Chris Smalling deal was finalised, I was happy to accept defeat and take the sale on the chin. After all, the lure of Champions League football was one that the young lad was never going to turn down.
His departure did weaken our defence a little, in the sense that depth has now become an issue, but, again, I had to think positively and the thought of Hughes and Hangeland holding their places was nothing but pleasing.
However, it would seem Sir Alex wants another poke at the Fulham factory line of class defenders, and he really is taking the biscuit with a supposed swipe for Brede Hangeland.
Whilst the rumour has not been circulated Worldwide, there are small suggestions from certain areas of the media that Manchester United are gearing up a £12 million bid to tempt the Norwegian captain up North, where the weather is of course, slightly more Nordic.
Last season it was no secret that United were having defensive issues, which we only highlighting with a fine 3-0 victory at the Cottage; a game in which I remember 2 midfielders filling into their backline.
That fact adds concern to this speculation, however, we can only hope it's not true.
Surely the Man Utd gaffer wouldn't steal from us twice in 6 months?

Does business intelligence make ad-hoc reporting obsolete?
Despite what you might hear from the business intelligence (BI) vendor community, ad-hoc reporting and analysis is not dead – especially in the healthcare field.
In my current role, I am tasked with setting up a BI infrastructure to ensure that healthcare managers, directors, and other stakeholders have access to the organizational performance information they require when they need it. This is accomplished through building dashboards, reports, and other analytic applications. The overall goal is to ensure that the decision-makers have ready access to accurate and timely information necessary to run the organization.
Why are ad-hoc reports necessary?
As is to be expected, occasionally I get requests for data that go beyond what the dashboards, reports, and cubes are able to provide information for. Interestingly, however, I have found that requests for this "above and beyond" information have been increasing both in frequency as well as in sophistication. There are several reasons to which I attribute this increase in the number of sophisticated information requests from our healthcare professionals (including clinicians and administrators):
- Healthcare organizations (HCOs) are becoming increasingly computerized (i.e., via implementation of electronic medical records systems, supply chain management systems, etc); more data is available, and more people are aware of what is available.
- HCOs are becoming more evidence-based; decision-making and quality improvement initiatives now rely on data as opposed to gut-instinct and opinion
- More bona-fide research is being conducted based on data in computerized health records; this information needs to be accessed and extracted in a timely manner for researchers.
Rather than being a burden, I welcome these data requests as an opportunity to grow our business intelligence infrastructure. Each new request should be treated as a chance to evaluate potential new metrics to add a performance dashboard, to identify new measures to include in a cube, or at the very least, add to the development queue something that can be built into a parameterized report for re-use later on.
Ad-hoc requests help you understand the needs of the business
It is unrealistic to expect that dashboards, reports, and cubes will be able to handle the information needs of all users. After all, most deployed BI apps such as reports and dashboards were built based on requirements from several months ago (if not years!). In healthcare, the speed at which accurate, timely, and readily accessible data is embraced (in fact required!) continues to accelerate.
BI development within the HCO cannot remain stagnant. Ad-hoc data requests are an important indicator of what is currently important to the leadership, clinical staff, and researchers within a healthcare organization that may not be covered in existing dashboards or reports. Business Intelligence teams who learn from an organization's ad-hoc requests help keep BI development driven by business need and enhance overall decision-making capability of the healthcare organization.

Buy a domain is like renting a house or office, typically you registered the domain name for a period of time, which is normally be between 1 and 10 years (may vary depending on the type of domain), and after that time you have the chance to renew it again.
If you decide that you no longer want it or leave it to expire, there is still a period of time where you still have the option to recover it before it is auctioned publicly.
Upon termination of the domain name, it will go into what is called the "Renewal Grace Period". This typically lasts 10-30 days depending on the domain. This is a lock to prevent someone else from buying it again.
Meanwhile, the domain can be recovered, but normally with additional charges. If the domain is not renewed during the grace period will go public auction or will become available for purchase by anyone.
For this reason, it is recommend that you renew your domains before the expiration date, to avoid any interruption in related services (email, etc.), as well as avoid higher recovery cost by the customer.
You can transfer your domains to us at any time, very easily. Please note that the content of your domain, your databases and your e-mail accounts will not be transferred. For this reason we recommend to prepare the transfer of your domain in advance. Make a backup with your current provider.
If you do not know how to do this, please request access data for the control panel or the FTP account (address, user, password) and we will assist you with this.
- Check email address
Check with your current provider that your email address is up to date. We will send you an email to approve the transfer of the domain. (Provisionally, you can change the email address of the Owner and Admin to ours.)
- Turn off the domain lock and set up your whois as a public
Disable the domain lock and publish your whois data to your current provider. If your provider does not support this feature, you can skip this point.
- Request authorization code
Request the authorization code (authcode) from your current provider.
Alternatively, to facilitate the process, simply send us your account information (provider link, user name and password) of your current provider and we can assist you.

The Westbury Hotel, Grafton Street, Dublin 2
Friday 13th & Saturday 14th July: 10am-7pm
As MovieExtras.ie celebrates ten years of putting the public on the big screen, the company is delighted to announce its Open Casting Weekend, taking place on July 13th & 14th in Dublin's Westbury Hotel.
MTV's Laura Whitmore began her career with MovieExtras.ie, finding out what the inside world of TV & film was all about.
So, for those who want a walk on part beside their favourite celeb or, like Laura, want to feed their curiosity about what really happens on set, MovieExtras.ie are holding this Open Casting Weekend, at which all members of the public are invited to sign up for membership, have their make-up done by MakeupFablicious.com and have a photoshoot with an award-winning photographer.
Over 550 companies and casting directors have access to the Movieextras.ie members profile and can contact them for work as an extra, model, actor or for promotional work. "Many famous stars began their career as an extra including Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck – so you never know, this could be the start of something big!" says Derek Quinn, Director and co founder of MovieExtras.ie.
Recent Irish productions who have worked with MovieExtras.ie include TRIVIA, Vexed, Asterix and Obelix, Titanic: Blood & Steel, Republic of Telly, What Richard Did, Amber and Ek Tha Tiger (where Bollywood met Dublin).

Testimonials from Movieextras.ie Members
"MovieExtras have been great to me, I get to see behind the scenes and take part in what I love the best. Television and Movies!! Whether it be eating in the hungry pig in Carrigstown, swinging an axe in a battle scene, kneeling in front of a King, being part of a flash mob, in a rugby scrum, robbing a bank and post office or rowing a boat with a Viking Obelix costume on I'm sure anyone can have the same great experiences I've had. Thanks MovieExtras!" – Neal Swaine
"It is great to be part of MovieExtras and you never know what you will be on next and it's always a good experience. It's always good to see familiar faces like fellow extras and meet up with them again. I have met many famous people and they are always very nice and entertaining."- John Kenny

When a family has to relocate due to the war, they are ostracized by their new community.
About the director:
One of Japan's most popular filmmakers after World War II, Keisuke Kinoshita (1912-1998) was a prolific director, writer, and producer, specializing in sentimental dramas and comedies and the use of innovative, expressionistic sets.
Rarely have any of Kinoshita's fifty or so films been shown outside of Japan, but in that country he was a well-known director who pioneered the use of color in film and repeatedly touched on domestic themes that resonated with Japanese audiences. Despite his conventional plots and subject matter, Kinoshita was often willing to experiment with avant-garde techniques.
Eventually Acclaimed

We're trying to get back in the saddle of school here. But with three kids in three schools for the first time, Oy. Reality is settling in, along with my tuckus in the minivan driver's seat. But, as always, the bright spot in routine coming back is the chance to organize things a little bit. You may recall my love of office products, and back to school is prime time for scoping out new ones.
But some teachers have to spend their own money to equip their classrooms. Avery Dennison seeks to shed light on that topic, as well as give some teachers the tools they need to equip their students to learn.

A health coach could be your personal trainer, your nutritionist, a registered dietician, your yoga teacher, or your massage therapist. Amazingly, many laws limit what 'certified health professionals' can teach you. They are not allowed to diagnose and prescribe because they would be practicing medicine without a license but at the same time, the doctors are not teaching us either, so we are stuck!
All we know is 'eat more greens, drink more water, exercise, sleep more, and lose weight' but the problem is the thousands of health coaches and health programs teaching us their method for getting healthy. What this has done is to leave the consumer overwhelmed and confused. Where there is confusion, there is no action, we just freeze.
My dad used to say advice is like a$$holes, everyone has one so here I go with my advice; get educated, get started, read books, find a successful health coach, and get going. But don't jump around from one coach to another because you will become overwhelmed and confused; one will say eat every five meals a day, the other will teach intermittent fasting, some will speak about cortisol for losing weight while others will swear it's all about Leptin, aghhhhh!
Guess what, they are all a little right. Here is what I teach, I teach you to learn the language of your own body with simple at home, measureable tests. Eating five meals a day works for some, but maybe not for you, fasting 16 hours out of the day, eating in the remaining eight hours may work for you but not your sister. So while gathering knowledge from out there, you need to learn about you and how your body works. Second, I teach that 90% of health conditions being treated today have the same three common denominators; yet, we treat asthma with Advair, ADHD with Ritalin, eczema with steroid cream, or depression with Zoloft and they all have the same three disruptions in the body.
I received a diagnosis of Graves' disease when I was newly married and then was given a drug. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. Within two months of starting the drug, I became pregnant. Today in the PDR it says, not to take the drug while pregnant, because of people and stories like mine. During the pregnancy, I was told to abort the baby. I did not and our son was born with complications and for the first seven years of his life received diagnosis like asthma, RAD, eczema, ADHD, lazy eye, night terrors, and more. I could have given him five or more drugs, but instead, I learned and restored his three pillars of health and 'miraculously', he became 100% whole and went on to receive a Congressional nomination to the United States Military Academy, graduate with honors, and be accepted into Army Aviation.
Listen folks, who will be our future leaders? Survival of the fittest and all that but now is the time to be proactive. Choose a person who will guide you to better health (health coach) or begin to study on your own. Over the past 24 years, I have counted 30,000 hours of research. I have drilled this down into various health programs ranging from one hour to a 12 week coaching program. I suggest you join me. Saving generation now will save generation next when you learn the language of your body and how to restore your foundation of health.

CATSKILL — A Kingston man who was driving erratically Tuesday on the Thruway had a blood-alcohol content five times the legal limit, State Police said.
Brian M. Tumas was taken to Kingston Hospital after troopers said they determined his blood-alcohol content was .43 percent, or five times the .08 percent content for driving while intoxicated under state law.
A blood-alcohol content of .45 percent or more can be fatal.
Tumas of Hurley Avenue was arrested after police received a 2:05 p.m. report of an intoxicated driver in a red Jeep traveling south from Saugerties.
State Police said they spotted the Jeep in the town of Catskill after they said the driver made an illegal U-turn.
Tumas was charged with resisting arrest and aggravated driving while intoxicated.
State Police said Tumas was being held for observation at Kingston Hospital. He was given appearance tickets for Catskill Town Court.

Please find attached draft minutes for this week's call. Executive summary: 1. Use cases: everyone should review. 2. Discussion on BLD-RDF compatibility: this may be lite in the minutes as the scribe was lost by about sentence 2 of Jos' proposal. Further discussion likely via email. Main issue seems to be whether some subset of RDFS is best for RIF, or not. 2. Discussion on BLD-Frames: mostly around scope of RIF per the "subclass" construct and whether the semantics of subclass should be inherited from the donor data/object model or explicitly defined in RIF. Discussion continued in emails. Errata: A. Some missing names per Zakim. B. Possibly the generated action was wrong (per scribe snafu). Paul Vincent TIBCO | ETG/Business Rules

Master Len likes to speak casually with his girls before he inflicts as much pain as he feels they can tolerate. He likes to play with this girl's pussy and tits. She is complaining, being the amateur that she is. She protests but with smiles and laughter. All tied up and chatty her wrists are tied to her ankles. He makes her take the heavy strap, but clearly this girl's skin is especially sensitive. He whacks her with the hairbrush and makes her thank him, but permits her to rub her stinging butt, which he proceeds to play like a drum. She also likes to play with herself, her pussy and her ample breasts as well.
Her nipples are in the center of attention but not for long since she has a nice round ass as well which is made for spanking. This brunette slave is smiling all the time while her kinky master is telling her what he is going to do next and that is making her nipples hard. Not to mention that her pussy is totally wet as well and that can mean only one thing – that she is more than ready to get her holes rammed, but first she needs to play some of the BDSM games in the basement. Her master is going to make sure she has good time with him and that she gets off more than once. He is using all kinds of devices and toys in order to make her reach an amazing orgasm and there is no doubt that it is going to happen sooner or later. Even when she is smiling, this darling is feeling severe pain and that is what she loves the most about being tortured. She knows that her master is not going to stop until she starts screaming and begging him for mercy…
Jennifer is ready for the BDSM roping
Jennifer's tits turned red because of the ropes but that is nothing in comparison to what her master plans to do to her. He is one of the guys who are always in the mood to show no mercy no matter how many slaves they have made to cum hard. Big breasted Jen is one of them and not only that she has nice tatas but her big round butt is made for spanking as well. She has to show her cock sucking skills and if she makes him cum real hard, there is no doubt that soon her master is going to start fucking her in his favorite doggy style position. While doing that, he is spreading her round butt cheeks and getting ready to spray her ass. His balls are filled with a lot of sperm and that only means that he is more than ready to see how fast she can make him empty his large balls… Jennifer loves to be tortured and even though it looks like she doesn?t like it, that is not true at all. She loves every single inch of his stiff prick while it is penetrating deep.
Electro corporal punishments for a hot brunette
This is your lucky day since you are going to see stunning brunette Mia in extreme punishments action. She is tied up and there is nothing she can do at all and her master is ready to try his new toys. If you ask him, he is going to tell you that there is nothing better than tormenting a girl with electric power and that is why he is going to attach the metal devices to her pussy lips. That hurts big time, and that is why Mia is screaming so loudly. Black stockings are making her look even more attractive and not to mention a tight black leather top which is not even covering her firm natural boobies and hard sensitive nipples. That is what her master loves the most about her but he is going to focus on making her cum hard. When he told her to spread her legs she got scared, since she knew that she is going to feel severe pain like never before. That made her reach an intense orgasm and her long legs started shaking like never before. Mia became one of his slaves.
Horny teeny slaves naked and humiliated
Cher and Jamie are cute babes who have always wanted to see how it is like to be in the center of the ass whipping action and now they have a chance to experience it. This guy is older than them which means that he is more experienced and that he knows what he is doing. All he has to do is use his toys and make their asses turn red. That is why he is using his toys and there is no doubt that he is going to make them cum faster than they could imagine… Not only that Cher and her GF Jamie have tight little butts but they are also ready to push them out and get ready to show pink pussies and bums. Flogging is something they love more than anything that that is the easiest way for them to reach an intense orgasm and maybe even squirt all over the place. Their master is going to give his best in order to show them why he is one of the most wanted dominant guy on the internet. He knows how to make the girls feel the terrible pain and amazing pleasure at the same time properly.
Foxy black babe sucking after corporal punishments
Flogging her black ghetto pussy is what this master loves to do more than anything and he is very good at it. We know that since she came several times but that was not enough for her so she got ready for something more. That more means that she is going to get her tight slippery cunt slammed with his pulsating prick and all she has to do is spread her ass cheeks and make sure that her twat is wet, but after so much whipping and physical punishments, there is no way that her cunt is not wet. This black darling is totally horny and there is no doubt that it is only a matter of time when she is going to cum real hard and even squirt all over the place. Her sensitive nipples are hard and that is not going to change for a long time if he continues pounding her like that and getting ready to cover her tight round black ass with a lot of man juice after hardcore sex action. That is what he loves more than anything and so does this ebony slave.
Jade gets whipped with a cat o nine
The good news is that Jade is one of the slaves who are going to get their tight round asses spanked but there is a fantastic news as well which means that she is going to bring her girlfriend with her as well. She is from Asia and we all know how much oriental sluts love to be dominated with cruelty by real masters. She is pushing her tight sexy butt out and getting ready for some ass whipping action, and there is no doubt that she is going to get what she has been asking for. Their arms are tied up and there is no way that they are going to move, and that is the beauty of playing BDSM games with this cruel master. He knows how to make them get off fast and hard and since that includes a little bit of pain, he is going to use long chains as well. It is hard to tell which one of the babes is screaming louder but one thing is for sure, they both love to feel the pain and play nasty bondage games all night long.
Poor Angelina loves to play suspension games
The good thing about cute Angelina is that she is always in the mood to play some new pussy whipping games and that is what this slave is going to get right now. She has a nice bald cunt which is made for fucking but that is something that she is going to have to wait for. First things first… All she has to do is spread her long soft legs wide and get ready to feel some pain. Chains, long toys and devices made for torments… That is what this dude is using in order to make her get off several times and there is no doubt that she is going to do that quite soon. Her nipples are rock hard and that is not going to change for sure since she enjoys BDSM a lot. Her only goal is to cum as many times as possible and the best way for her to accomplish that is to let her master take care of her orgasmic meat hole and make her cum his way. His way means that he is not going to be gentle. He loves spanking his slaves and calling them names but Angelina loves it.

News, Announcements and Press releases
HB 3382 seeks to remove the requirement that physicians remain physically present and available during delivery of anesthesia administered by a nurse anesthetist.
Contact your state legislator and let them know that:
* Anesthesia is unlike other care settings, and is particularly different from the primary care setting. It is a complex, high-risk care setting where complications can present quickly that require immediate medical attention to prevent serious injury or death.
* Physician anesthesiologist prevented 6.9 excess deaths per 1,000 cases in which an anesthesia or surgical complication occurred, according to an independent outcomes study published in the peer-reviewed journal Anesthesiology.
* Physician-led medicine can save patients and payers money. A review article in the New England Journal of Medicine cites when a physician anesthesiologist was involved:
1) medical consultation requests reduced by 75 percent;
2) cost of laboratory tests reduced by 59 percent; and,
3) cancellation of operations for medical reasons reduced by 88 percent.

Bruce Springsteen's work was done for the moment. The first set had ended Sunday at the sold-out United Center, the chords of "Badlands" still ringing, and he was waving his appreciation to the audience. But he didn't let go of his guitar, hoisting it above his head as the E Street Band gathered around him.
It was a fitting image for an evening in which Springsteen chopped away at his guitar like he was going to war, driving his band through 135 no-nonsense minutes. It was a terse concert by Springsteen's epic, three-hour-plus standards, but that relative brevity kept the energy high and the momentum-sapping shtick low.

8 september, 1962
Received the Max Ophüls Prize for best young actor in 1991.
Started working as an actor at the age of 25, after being trained to be an Olympic swimmer.
Has played a Nazi officer in 10 different, completely unrelated films: Krigerens hjerte (1992), Stalingrad (1993), U-571 (2000), The Pianist (2002), In Enemy Hands (2004), Der Untergang (2004), Head in the Clouds (2004), Eichmann (2007), Valkyrie (2008) and "The Sinking of the Laconia" (2010).
Collaborated again with his The Pianist (2002) co-star Adrien Brody in King Kong (2005). Incidentally, both of Kretschmann's roles with Brody are as captains, albeit of a very different type. In The Pianist (2002), he played a Nazi officer with a conscience; in King Kong (2005) he plays a tough boat captain guiding a film crew.
He has three children: two sons, Nicolas born (1998) and Alexander 'Sascha' (born 2002), and one daughter, Stella (born 1999) with his ex-girlfriend Lena Roklin.
Aged 19, he began a month-long trek from East to West Germany to escape Communism, during which he lost part of his finger to frostbite. He crossed 4 borders with nothing other than a passport and the equivalent of $100 in his possession.
He has played a Nazi officer in 10 movies so far and, in Have No Fear: The Life of Pope John Paul II (2005) (TV), he played Pope John Paul II, who (as the movie shows) fought against and tried to protect people from the Nazis.
Made his stage debut in "Macbeth," directed by Katharina Thalbach.
Modeled in Hugo Boss perfume advertisement.
Considered buying a house in the Bahamas while filming Der Seewolf (2008) (TV) (aka The Sea Wolf).
Portrayed Count Dracula in Dracula (2012) and his arch nemesis professor Abraham Van Helsing in Dracula (2013)(TV series).
Was hired to voice Johan Krauss in Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) but Guillermo Del Toro considered that his voice and the mechanical noise of the character's suit didn't mesh well. The job went to Seth McFarlane.
Personal Quotes
Leaving [home] is kind of a strange thing - the world opens up but, at the same time, it gets smaller. The more you see of the world, the smaller it seems. After I did the film Stalingrad (1993), I left Germany, and I did a couple of films in France and lived there for about three years, and a couple of films in Italy, and lived there for two years. Then I came over here. The more you get familiar with different countries, the more you think, "Where am I going to live for the rest of my life?" You think, "OK, Germany sucks - don't want to live there; France, no; Italy - the food is nice, but I don't want to live there". In the end, you have nowhere to go anymore.
{Referring to his title role in Eichmann (2007)] I was born long after the war but I still carry this collective guilt around. It's not as much fun for a German to play a part like this than it would be for, say, Ralph Fiennes. It's a very juicy part, but I couldn't get myself excited to go and play Eichmann. Strangely, I have lots of Jewish friends in LA. My wife is Jewish. They were all excited that I play him, so I wanted to do it for them.

X2 Soccer 2010 for iPhone. Sparkling Soccer Game That Just Keeps Giving
X2 Soccer 2010 Rating:
I've played many, many soccer games on multiple platforms but the two that I regularly come back to are the the Fifa games from EA and Pro Evo from Konami. While Fifa has already produced a great soccer game in the form of Fifa 10 we must wait a little while longer to see what Konami bring to the iPhone and iPod Touch when they release their version later this year. While we are waiting though we can spend our time checking our X2 Soccer 2010, the follow up to last years X2 Soccer 2009.
X2 Soccer 2010 is an arcade soccer game that not only has more options than you can shake a stick at has quality oozing through it too. To begin with there are 150 club teams to choose from all the top leagues and the national sides too. Licensing on such games is extremely complicated so while some of the team and player names are accurate some are just slightly off, such as Manchester Red instead of Manchester Utd. However all these details can be edited and not only that they can also be exported or imported so that you can share your changes with your friends.
The single player game plays great, you can play a quick game, start a league or cup competition and bring your soccer fantasies to life. In addition to the normal game modes there is also the Dream Team mode where you aim to take a team of no-hopers to the top of the world by earning tokens as you play your games. These tokens can then be used to improve you players and your team and it can really prove a rewarding challenge.
In addition to the multitude of single player options you can also play in one of the three multi-player options. The multi-player option is where the game comes to life as not only can you play a local multi-player game over either Bluetooth or Wifi but you can also play over the internet against a random opponent or against a friend. Both options play really well and playing a friend is as easy as you both entering the same code regardless of where you are in world. There has been some lag on some of the online games that I played but nothing that stopped my enjoyment of the game.
So how does the game play and how does it look and feel? The graphics aren't going to win any awards but they are good enough and the player animations flow well across the screen as you play the game. The controls are three action buttons on the bottom right corner of the screen and a floating virtual d-pad on the left. The floating virtual d-pad works excellently, as it locates itself where ever you touch the screen in the bottom left corner meaning that you'll never miss it at a a crucial moment.
The three action buttons take control of pass, shoot and through ball and take advantage of single taps and holds to enable a wide range of options and more importantly they are all very intuitive meaning that it will only take you a couple of games before you are good enough score a few goals and hold your own while playing online.
Despite all the goodness that has already been delivered there is more to come. In addition to the trophy room which shows all of your achievements there are also Feats which are X2 Soccer 2010's version of achievements. There are 18 in all and again they add even more value to the game. As does the RSS feed that supplies real time soccer news as a ticker to the bottom of the screen through out the game. By default the RSS feed uses the BBC Soccer news feed but this can also be edited to stream any news feed to the game.
With all that has been packed into X2 Soccer 2010 it's well worth the jump. It may not have the pedigree of Fifa or PES but until PES comes out later in the year to challenge X2 Soccer 2010 it's the best soccer game on your iPhone or iPod touch. Snap it up now and get yourself ready for the World Cup in style.

Cervical Spine Surgery India – Best Option for Budget Patients
If you are thinking about getting cervical spine surgery in India then you have made the right decision. Cervical spine surgery is carried out to relieve pain in most cases, and also to help restore nerve functions helping relieve any numbness or tingling that may be present. The majority of people who undergo cervical spine surgery in India experience good to excellent results following the operation. Most people will experience significant relief of pain both in the neck and the radicular pain into the shoulder and arm. The goal of the majority of cervical spine operations is the successful return to the activities of daily life.What is Cervical Spine Surgery?
Your spine includes your cervical vertebrae, located immediately beneath the skull, and though the smallest of the vertebrae can be readily distinguished from the lumbar or thoracic regions by the presence of a hole in each transverse process where the vertebral artery passes through. Cervical spine surgery is performed to relieve pain, tingling, numbness and weakness in the spine. The goal of the cervical spine surgery in India is to restore nerve function and prevent abnormal motion in the spine.Reasons for Cervical Spine Surgery in India
There are many reasons people consider cervical spine surgery in India. Some general conditions are injury to the spine, inappropriate function and most degenerative spine diseases. Degenerative disorders usually involve destruction of cushion pads after each vertebra that can lead to herniation. This can cause significant pain and tingling, not to mention muscle weakness on the affected area. Other degenerative disorders cause deformity and would very much benefit from the surgery.
Minimally Invasive Cervical Spine Surgery in India
Minimally Invasive Cervical Spine Surgery in India is performed using an endoscope, which is inserted through small incisions (half-inch). The endoscope is connected to a tiny video camera that projects an "inside" view of the patient's body onto television screens inside the operating room. Small surgical instruments may then be passed through one or more additional half-inch incisions. The goal of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is to reduce soft tissue trauma to allow a more rapid patient recovery from surgery and an earlier return to activity.Low Cost Cervical Spine Surgery in India
Cervical spine surgery in India has changed in a big way over the years. Cervical spine surgery in India is gaining popularity among westerners, especially from countries like America, Europe or Canada, fed up of the chronic pain and disability caused by their back and disheartened by the exorbitant costs of surgery in their native countries. The cost of back surgery in India is estimated to be about 20% the value in the first world countries. The low cost surgery coupled with world class technology has made the country one of the leading medical vacation destinations in the world.

Today's instalment of A Crooked Sixpence, the 1960 novel by Murray Sayle, is broken into two sections. In the first, James O'Toole, the Australian reporter who is coming to terms with working for the scandal-mongering Sunday Sun, is trying to explain to a girlfriend, Elizabeth, the essence of its journalistic mission compared to that of more serious newspapers.
He has just written a fictional series about an innocent Bradford mill-girl who has fallen into prostitution after being attracted to the bright lights of London. Elizabeth, a middle class woman who works in the War Office, asks:
"You mean, you're making the whole thing up?"
"In a way, yes. It's life, but hotter, stronger and neater."
"What a peculiar way to earn a living... do you tell your readers it's all made up?"
"Not in so many words," he said. "In fact, not at all."
Isn't that a teeny bit dishonest?"
"Good God, no. I mean, if you'd been connected with the other branch of the newspaper game you'd probably find it a relief."
"Tell me about the other branch," said the girl. "I'm fascinated."
"I don't believe that either," said O'Toole. "But you asked for it. You have to understand that newspapers are all, more or less, in two distinct kinds of business. There's the intelligence side. You know, meat will be dearer tomorrow, the president of Peru just shot himself, bond-holders beware. That sort of thing's supposed to be true. The other side's the one the money's in."
"That's what you're in."
"Right. It's called human interest, and it's really a branch of show business. Non-stop vaudeville, changed every day, and always leave them laughing. If you can write revue sketches and begging letters and you can clean up dirty jokes, you've got what it takes. The only difficult part about it is to get members of the public to take part in your productions."
"That is the side that doesn't have to be true."
"Not in the pedestrian, literal sense, no. But it has to be true within a set of conventions called 'a nose for news.' All women under fifty-five are attractive. All Frenchmen are hairdressers. Every time an aeroplane crashes someone had a dream warning them not to go, a broken doll was found among in the wreckage, and priests gave absolution to the dying. That's what people want to read, so that's what I write.
"It's of no importance that the mill-girl doesn't exist, except that it saves me the trouble of convincing some deluded little girl that the things that have to happen to her really did happen. It also saves my employer some money."
[In this second extract, O'Toole is implored by a former interviewee (aka "victim") - an errant priest called Sweeney - to publish some sort of apology or an explanatory clarification]
"I'm desperate," said Sweeney, wringing his white hands. "I haven't had a moment's peace since that dreadful article was published. I'm a branded man."
"You're still in trouble with the Church?"
"Terrible trouble. They say I must undo some of the harm I have done them before they can offer me any help. I can't find any work because everyone seems to have seen your article, and as soon as they see my name or my face they turn me away. Can't you print a little note, just a few words to say I wasn't responsible for what appeared in your paper?"
"I'm afraid not," said O'Toole. "The owners of this newspaper are prepared to do almost anything for a reader, but one of the things they won't do is deny a story they've paid money for."
"But it would cost you nothing... and it might mean a new life for me."
"The trouble is, it would spoil the gay, generous tone of the paper," said O'Toole. "I know it's hard to follow from your point of view, but I assure you that's the case."
[O'Toole offers to lend him some money instead]
"No, thank you," said Sweeney. "I've still got the greater part of your paper's money left - I've been desperately trying not to spend it, hoping that I might be allowed to give it back."
"There's no point in giving it back," said O'Toole. "None at all."
"I was afraid so," said Sweeney. "I don't want money... All I want is a chance to remove this dreadful brand - you've made me a whining, sponging, hypocritical good-for-nothing."
"You'll have to find some other way, I'm afraid," said O'Toole. "I don't think this paper can do anything for you."
The priest bowed his head, then rose helplessly. "Thank you, anyway, for your courtesy," he said slowly.
"It's part of my job," said O'Toole. "I wish I could do more."

There are a variety of different types of paints used on vehicles today and the choices are as wide as their price range. Lets take a look at some of the paint choices you have when you want to perform an overall or repair paint job.
First we should understand that some paints are called single stage. This group is usually limited to enamels and urethanes where a single can of paint includes both the base color and the clear shiny finish. You usually apply one half coat and 2 full coats of a single stage paint and do not need to clear over it for your final finish. Specialty Paints like powder coating and epoxy paints may or may not need a clear coat.
Two Stage or base and top coat finishes require that you apply a base color coat that looks flat and then paint over it with a clear top coat for protection.
There are many other techniques including candy paints which require many coats of paint but the difference we are covering is the difference between a single stage that you can apply and walk away from and a 2 stage that must have a clear top coat.
When you are asking for paint most beginners should use a single stage paint because the results are more forgiving and the paint is always even if you apply it correctly.
Now lets talk about paint types
There are 3 basic types of car finishes Lacquer, Enamel and Urethane
Lacquer paints are really an historic paint choice and are not used on new vehicles. If you are restoring an older car you may choose this paint type to match its original finish or you may use it to get a specific technique but Urethane paints can provide the same look with harder surface protection.
Lacquer is still used today for primer surfacers and other under finish products. They allow fast dry times and because of the heavy materials in Primer surfacers which are made for sanding the lacquer thinner is a good choice.
Lacquer paints also require a larger amount of hand work. You can expect to sand color coats between the many top coats that are needed for a full paint job. Most Lacquer finishes will require more then 5 top coats.
Special techniques such as Candy Apple where a silver undercoat and a translucent red, blue or green top coat are available in Lacquer and the control of the color is based on the under coat showing through evenly. Urethane Enamels can also produce a similar result in a single or dual stage paint only requiring 1 or 2 full coats of a single color.
Synthetic And Acrylic Enamel Paints are a medium range paint that is stronger then Lacquer Based Paint.
Synthetic Enamel should be thought of as a Utility Grade Paint. Although you can probably get the same metallic finish mixed in Synthetic Enamel based paints they are not as strong as a urethane and will last only a short time. For this reason they are great for vehicles that will see short lives in the field and many box and tractor trailers which have their side logos changed can be painted in a lower cost enamel. Synthetic Enamel is usually only available in premixed colors without the option for tinting.
Acrylic Enamel paints are used with a Urethane Hardener which will increase their durability. Acrylic Enamel Paints can be produced in a standard Batch of premixed colors or they can be mixed to match your car. Technically the introduction of a hardener brings the standard Enamel paint into the Urethane category but they are not quite the same.
If you are painting a Tractor or an old beater a gallon of Acrylic Enamel with a Hardener can be purchased for maybe $125 and should produce a quality finish that may last about 5 to 7 years.
Urethane Finishes are probably the best commercially available paint choice the variety of colors are unlimited unlike Synthetic Enamel that comes in a standard set of premixed colors, Shop Grade Urethane paints can be mixed to match any car color or tinted to match variations in colors that happen due to the finish ageing from exposure to sun and the elements. This is why Urethane paints are the best product for repairs and full paint jobs. Unlike Acrylic Enamels that have a Urethane Hardener paint that is produced as a Urethane Paint must always use a hardener.
Other Paint types you will run in to
Epoxy Paints are not usually used on automotive vehicles but are great for boats, airplanes and other vehicles that require an extremely durable surface. If you paint with epoxy paint you need to wear an in-line forced air respirator or you will die…. well maybe not die but epoxy paint is very toxic so only use it in a professional booth with a forced air respirator and a full tyvek paint suit. This paint is also good for Frames and suspension parts but because it is so expensive don't use it unless you need to.
Powder Coating is a special process that requires bakeing and is not used normaly on exterior finishes but may be used on your engine especially the valve covers. This process produces toxic fumes during baking although there are nontoxic versions coming to market. NEVER use your home oven for baking parts if you ever intend to cook food in it again.
Paint Mixing
Most paints today come ready to shoot once you add a hardener. Unlike just a few years ago where you had to measure out the paint then add reducer to thin it to the proper viscosity the hardener is to be used in 3:1 or 4:1 Paint to Hardener ratios.
Cleanup and Pot Life
Pot life is the time that mixed paint can sit in your spray gun or in your mixing container. Lacquer Paints and Synthetic Enamels without a hardener can be stored for a few weeks to 2 years even after they are reduced but once a hardener is used in the paint you have from about 30 minutes to 2 hours to use it before it turns into a gel and starts to harden. If it is hot out over 80F or if you add dryers you can see that time reduced even more. For this reason it is best to clean your gun between coats, throw away any mixed paint and use a new mixing container for the next batch.
Note: when performing an overall paint job you will want to do your door jams, under hood, inside trunk and other areas first then allow a flash time of 30 minutes to 8 hours before you paint the outside of the car. Don't try to keep that paint or mix it back in the unused original can or it will turn all of your paint to garbage. Once your paint leaves the original can it never goes back in.
Dry Times
Drying times for paint are effected by the products used in the paint and the drying method. Commercial shops can bake the paint at 140F for about an hour and the car can be ready to continue work or to deliver to the customer after a short set time. Lacquer based paints will dry the fastest however Urethane paint that is specifically made for quick turn around can be use even in air dry settings.
Flash Times vs Drying Times when you are painting a car you need to use a number of coats of paint to build up the finish. Flash time which is usually about 15 to 30 minutes between coats allows enough of the thinners to escape so you can put another coat on. Drying time refers to the ability to work with the surface. Most top coats can be applied over a base coat in a number of hours but for best results you may want to wait overnight or up to 8 hrs. The same is true when painting more then one color (in a two-tone or stripe) or when you need to tape off fresh paint. You should check your manufacturers recommendations but a full 8 to 12 hours is needed before you can tape on a fresh coat of paint with professional painters tape. For Buffing and sanding you may need to wait from 18 to 48 hours. Now times are different for spot paint jobs fixing a small repair where you use a heat lamp or when you bake the whole car at 140F for an hour.
As a rule of thumb for home paint jobs
15 – 30 minutes flash between layers – gives you time to mix more paint and clean your gun.
Overnight between doing door jams or before you apply tape.
One Week before you compound or sand out the clear.
One Month before you wax and never use wax that contains silicon.
for the most part Lacquer paint is the least toxic followed by straight enamel then urethane then epoxy each require the use of a respirator however urethane and epoxy paints contain poisons and should only be used in professional booths with inline forced air respirators. Always read warnings and directions and then actually follow those directions… don't just read them and then say Yea Sure I Read it.. Or you could DIE.
Paint Additives additives allow you to add features to your paint to adapt their qualities for your application.
Flex Agents are used when you are painting a part like a bumper cover or ground effects that will flex and move with the car. If you were to use a hardened paint you will probably endup with chips and cracking. You should also use a flex agent when you paint a plastic car like the Saturn.
Hardeners were already mentioned they are a catalyst that is added to urethane or enamel paint that improves durability.
Fish Eye Eliminator is an additive that is used when you are painting a car that might have oils from wax or your hands. It is good when performing touch-ups or in an emergency during a full paint job.
Chip Guard is a product not always used but can be used around wheel wells to reduce the likelihood of debri causing paint chips. It takes on a textured appearance and is not very attractive.
Flattening Agent will turn any paint into a flat color. This is good for custom stripes it can also provide a low gloss for engine compartments.
Drying Agents are another emergency fixer. They are added to paint in high humidity settings to allow the solvents to escape the paint before they end up with a fog or milky quality due to the paint skinning over and solvents being trapped.
There are many other things that need to be covered about paints and additives and their proper use but you should also seek the advice of your local professional paint supplier. Just remember to stay away from cheap synthetic enamel paints if you want your car to look nice for more then a year. And once you mix in a hardener clean your gun within 30 minutes and toss the paint away.
