The Marketplace open enrollment for 2016 is a little under a month away, which means that navigators, in-person assisters (IPAs) and certified application counselors (CACs) are preparing for another season of helping uninsured and underinsured residents throughout the state of Michigan apply for health plans through the Marketplace. The 2016 Open Enrollment Period starts on Nov. 1, 2015, and runs through Jan. 31, 2016. During Open Enrollment, you can meet with assistors to discuss healthcare coverage options through the Federal Marketplace.
The Community Health Access Coalition (CHAC) and Sault Tribe Health Center have trained staff available to assist the community with understanding their healthcare coverage options. CHAC's Navigators and Sault Tribe Health Center's certified application counselors (CACs) are part of the Health and Human Services (HHS)-trained and certified assister organizations. Navigators and CACs conduct federal Marketplace, Medicaid outreach, education and enrollment, as well as health insurance counseling for uninsured and vulnerable individuals and families.
CHAC and Sault Tribe have partnered to bring an enrollment event to Sault Ste. Marie on Monday, Nov. 9, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Sault Tribe Health Center. To secure a specific time, call 906-635-7483 and schedule an appointment or discuss additional dates and times; walk-ins welcome the day of the event.
The Affordable Care Act helps make health insurance coverage more affordable and accessible for millions of Americans. For American Indians and Alaska Natives, the law addresses inequities and increases access to quality, affordable health coverage, invests in prevention and wellness, and gives American Indian and Alaska Native individuals and families more control over their care. The Affordable Care Act provides over 500,000 uninsured American Indians and Alaska Natives an opportunity to get affordable health insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. As many as nine out of 10 of those may qualify for financial assistance either through tax credits to purchase coverage in the Marketplace, cost-sharing reductions that will reduce or eliminate out of pocket costs, or through Medicaid.
American Indians and Alaska Natives are eligible to purchase coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Marketplace is a destination where consumers can compare health insurance options in simple, easy-to-understand language. At the Marketplace, consumers are able to compare insurance options based on price, benefits, quality and other factors with a clear picture of premiums and cost-sharing amounts to help them choose the insurance that best fits their needs.
To learn more about the Health Insurance Marketplace, please visit: www.HealthCare.gov or contact your local assistors – CHAC at 635-7483 or Sault Tribe Health Center at 632-5200 to schedule an appointment.

The third day of my El Salto adventure has just ended. My son Zach is asleep in the bed next to me, worn out from a long day of hard fishing. Even though I'm on vacation, I know I have to write. Too much happens each day for me to remember, so I keep a journal. It helps me keep the facts straight.
Even before the sun was up this morning, Zach was ready to get on the water. Luis greeted us with a smile when we arrived at the boat, and 10 minutes later, we were casting topwater plugs. Zach decided he would try the Super Spook this morning, and a good choice that was. On his first cast, as he danced the lure across the surface, a nice bass — close to 6 pounds — took a swipe at the lure and made a big boil in the water. Zach stopped his retrieve, then started it again and boom! Ol' Bucketmouth sucked the Spook down this time and Zach nailed him. The sun wasn't even up yet when I shot a photo of my son with his first bass of the day, and a nice one at that.
It started good, but today's fishing turned out to be tough. Tough is a relative thing, however. My worst day on El Salto was better than 90 percent of the bass trips I've had in the U.S., and this was far from my worst day. Bites were fewer and farther between, and we didn't catch any monster bass before lunch. But we caught enough 2- to 5-pounders to keep our interest until mid-morning.
A friend of mine, Hal Schramm, once wrote an article about a 12-pound, 10-ounce bass his friend Ben Davis caught on 6,700-acre Bay Springs Lake in northeast Mississippi. Hal, one of the country's most noted bassing writers and a biologist by training, wondered what the odds were of catching a bass of that magnitude. So he did some research and found out.
To do this, Hal looked at big-bass awards in FLW tournaments during the 5-year period from 2002 to 2006. He excluded events in northern waters like Champlain, Erie and the upper Mississippi River — waters that are primarily smallmouth fisheries and aren't going to produce a double-digit largemouths. FLW Tour pros and co-anglers logged 20,500 angler days. The biggest bass was 10-4. FLW Stren Series anglers did better. They caught thirteen 10-pound bass, five 11s, three 12s and two 14s in 44,044 angler days.
So how hard is it to catch a bass over 12 pounds?
"The best anglers fishing the best bass waters at the best times caught five bass over 12 pounds in 64,544 angler days," Hal wrote. "That's an average of almost 13,000 days for a fish over 12. Relating that to an avid angler who fishes 50 days a year, it will take about four lifetimes to catch a 12-plus."
I'm not much of a mathematician myself, but I would like to see what figures Hal would come up with if he examined several years of Anglers Inn fishing records for El Salto. I am certain they would boggle the mind.
Consider the fishing trip Les Melton of West Virginia enjoyed back in May 2005, for example. Melton is an accomplished angler to be sure, but even so, the size and number of largemouths he caught during his week-long visit was incredible.
• Total bass caught: 607
• Bass 10 pounds or more: 27
• Bass 8 pounds or more: 60
• Total weight of 10 largest bass for seven days: 134.1 pounds
• Total weight of five largest bass for seven days: 71.5 pounds
• Total weight of 10 largest bass for one day: 118 pounds
• Total weight of five largest bass for one day: 66.8 pounds
Some bassing enthusiasts (Mr. Catfish, for example) have fished for decades without catching a largemouth weighing 10 pounds or more, but Mr. Melton caught 27 bucketmouths that size during his seven-day El Salto trip. The carefully recorded weights (in pounds) of each of those fish were: 15; 15; 14.07; 14; 13.08; 13.04; 12.12; 12.12; 11.14; 11.08; 11.08; 11.02; 11; 10.10; 10.08; 10.08; 10.08; 10.08; 10.06; 10.06; 10.05; 10.04; 10.02; 10.02; 10; 10 and 10.
"I couldn't believe it was happening," Melton said. "I must have felt like players do when they win the Super Bowl. It was the epitome of what bass fishermen hope to do."
Zach and I were hoping for a day like that, but we knew it was hardly possible considering our level of experience. We had a huge advantage, however. Joe Bullock, who previously held a five-fish, 67-pound record at El Salto, was at the lake the same time as us. And yesterday, he very generously spent two hours of his time not only showing us the techniques for using some of the best big-bass lures here, but rigging and giving me several of these lures to try.
On our afternoon outing, Zach and I started out casting some of Joe's swimbait rigs. And wham! I caught a 9-pounder, one of my biggest bass ever. Zach had several hawgs on as well, but the biggest ones gave us the slip—breaking line, tangling us in trees and throwing hooks.
We saw them, though. And tomorrow we plan to give 'em hell.

History of Western Theatre: 17th Century to Now/American Romantic
Romantic drama is represented by Augustin Daly with "Under the gaslight" (1867). Augustin Daly also wrote "A flash of lightning" (1868), "Horizon" (1871), and "Love on crutches" (1884). In "A flash of lightning", Bessie is accused by her father of robbing her sister's necklace until he discovers a flash of lightning in their hosue was responsible. In "Horizon", a party from Washington meet a greta number of diffuclties while travelling westward where vioent frontier men and Indians reside. In the third play, love lives on crutches when Sydney and Annis marry for money until each discovers that they have been writing love-letters to each other.
Alhough appearing later in the century, the historic drama "Beau Brummell" (1890) by Clyde Fitch (1865-1909) reproduces a Romantic-type atmosphere more typical of its early part. The play is based on a noted friend of the prince regent, later King George IV (1762-1830, reign: 1820-1830). The story reproduces some key aspects of Beau Brummell's life (1778-1840), though diverging at the end, since the prince never forgave Beau, who died in poverty. George L. Aiken (1830 –1876) is remembered for "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (1852), an adaption of Harriet Beecher-Stowe's novel.
Comedies are the key-note of early 19th century theatre in the USA, including "Fashion" (1845) by Anna Cora Mowatt and "Self" (1856) by Sidney Frances Bateman (1823-1881). Both comedies are social satires, the first one on the blind adherence to foreign manners and the second on the blind adherence to one's interest.
"Under the gaslight"[edit]
"Under the gaslight". Time: 1860s. Place: New York and surroundings, USA.
"Under the gaslight" text at http://www.archive.org/details/undergaslighttot00daly
Ray is engaged to be married to Laura. One evening, they receive a visit from Byke, introduced as Laura's music teacher, who requests a meeting with her. To Ray's surprise, she accepts to see him. Though known to everyone as her cousin, Pearl, in love with Ray herself, reveals to him that Laura is not her cousin, but was picked up by her parents from the streets as a child thief. Ray is stunned, starts to write a letter to Laura, then hesitates, and says little. At a social ball, Mrs Van Dam notices letters dropped from Ray's overcoat pocket, including one, unsealed and addressed to Laura, which, out of curiosity, she reads aloud to her friends, revealing Laura's origins. Instead of advancing towards Laura, Ray joins his friends. Laura must now work for her living. She finds a job consisting of touching up photographs. When the remorseful Ray returns to say he still loves her, Laura retorts: "I know how to construe the love which you deny in the face of society, to offer me behind its back." Yet she agrees to go with him and see Pearl and her mother again. While Ray goes out for a carriage, Byke enters, reveals he is her father, and forces her to come with him to a police court, where he pleads his case before a judge. He explains that Laura was taken from him by rich people and now he wants her back, as "the prop of my declining days," he says. Though Laura resists, challenging him to describe her clothing when she was found, he passes the test. He and his woman-accomplice, Judas, plan to keep Laura and blackmail Pearl once she marries Ray, but their plan is upset when the latter convinces the police patrol to seize them on a pier when about to enter a boat. As the police officers close in, Judas pushes Laura into the water, but she is rescued by Ray. Near Shrewsbury among his friends at Courtland's cottage, Ray lies despondent. Despite having asked to marry Pearl and been accepted, he has not forgotten Laura, who wants him to forget her. Worried about being found out again by the blackmailers, Laura leaves the party to sleep at the signal shed of a train station, where Ray's messenger-friend, Snorkey, is captured by Byke, tied up, and laid across the tracks while she is locked inside. Snorkey has found out that Byke and Judas intend to rob at the cottage. She at last finds an axe and cuts the wooodwork of the shed as his neck tingles above the tracks because of the arriving train, saving him just in time. While Pearl sleeps on a divan, Byke steals bracelets and diamonds at her house. She wakes up and screams, at which point Ray and Laura, informed by Snorkey, enter running to intercept the thief. Snorkey takes hold of him. Yet Byke, undeterred, threatens to expose Pearl as Judas' substituted child. Because of this disclosure, Pearl releases Ray from his marriage vow. Byke rejoices when they release him but is prevented from any further attempt at blackmail on learning of Judas' death in a road accident.
"Beau Brummell"[edit]
"Beau Brummell". Time: 1810s-1820s. Place: London, England and Calais, France.
"Beau Brummell" text at http://archive.org/stream/plays00fitcgoog/plays00fitcgoog_djvu.txt
Because of an excessively stylish life-style, Beau Brummell is pursued by many creditors. To help his case, he orders his servant to write a letter to Oliver Vincent, a rich cloth merchant, concerning his daughter's hand in marriage. Beau's nephew, Reginald, enters to inform him that he loves a woman, but is interrupted before he can mention who. Beau next receives the visit of one of his most determined creditors, Abrahams, who finally desists after hearing that the prince regent is about to come over. Reginald has been pursuing Mariana, Oliver's daughter, with the help of a servant-intermediary, Kathleen, whom he is startled to find in his uncle's house. On his side, Beau has been conducting an amorous relation with Mrs. Horatia St. Aubyn. When Horatia asks him whether he received her last letter, he responds: "And your ambrosial lock of hair." But he did so to another woman, at which she is at first offended and then laughs it off. When the prince regent enters, he is eager to flirt with Horatia. After his guests leave, Beau receives the visit of Oliver, whom he confuses with his new tailor. He is distracted by his supposed tailor's gait: "Would you be so kind as not to wobble about in that way?" he asks with irritation. Oliver is unable to understand his host's attitude, so that he finally declares: "I came to accept your offer of marriage, but I've altered my intention." However, when he learns that the prince regent has invited Beau to supper, he looks pleadingly at him so that the two may dine together. "Send my polite regrets to his royal highness and say I dine tonight with Mr. Oliver Vincent," announces Beau to his servant. At Carlton House, residence of the prince regent, Beau discovers that Oliver's behavior is unbecoming to the prince. To secure the gratitude of his future father-in-law, he covers Oliver's retreat with self-possession and a look of humorous appeal towards the prince. When alone with Oliver, Beau seeks an immediate reward with ready cash and is immediately accepted. He is then accosted by Lord Manly, a drunken fop who has discovered that one of the guests is cheating at cards. What should he do? "Well, if he has cards up his sleeve, bet on him," answers Beau. When alone together, Horatia accuses Beau of presenting her to the prince as a pleasant way to be rid of her: "You have puffed the prince with the conceit that he is driving you out of my affections against your will. Suppose he were to know the truth?" Beau is unafraid. He is also quite cool at discovering Lord Manly drunkenly flirting with his intended, Mariana. He admits to her: "At first it was your fortune which allured me, but now it is yourself." A little later, Beau overhears a conversion between the prince and Horatia in a dark corner, in which she declares that there is too great a difference in their rank for the present relation to continue. Oliver confuses the pair with Beau and his daughter. The prince exclaims to her: "I swear I will marry you," at which Oliver rushes forward and declares: "And so you shall." Once more, Beau interposes to protect Oliver but this time he insults the prince. At the Mall, St. James Park, Beau's servant informs him that two bailiffs are set to arrest him for debts. "You must prevent them by telling them of my marriage to the daughter of Mr. Oliver Vincent," pleads Beau. Meanwhile, Oliver begs his daughter to accept Beau in view of the position he lost in defending him: "With the money your dowry will bring him, he can pay off his creditors and defy the prince. Without it, he can do neither and is utterly ruined," he says. In love with Reginald, Mariana turns her head away and bites her lip in frustration. Intent on obtaining Beau, Horatia proposes an agreement with Mariana: "If you will promise to relinquish Mr Brummel, I will make the prince promise not to cut him, as he has sworn to do publicly today," she says. Mariana is offended and refuses. When Beau asks for Mariana's hand in marriage, she accepts, out of gratitude for her father's sake. To get rid of the bailiffs and unconscious of Horatia's intentions, Beau declares to them: "The prince will be here presently, and I will speak to him." The prince cuts Beau, who is publicly disgraced. He nevertheless holds off the bailiffs with the announcement of his upcoming marriage. But when Reginald confronts Mariana, they discover that Kathleen, faithful to Beau's prospects, failed to deliver each other's letters. When Beau discovers their mutual love, he releases her from her promise. Although Reginald protests in view of the threat from the bailiffs, Beau remains adamant. He is forced to retreat to Calais, out of the world's eye, but is finally saved by the recently crowned king, who forgives him.

Because Shelby owes Haley money, he must hand over one of his slaves, George, who will be separated from his wife, Eliza, because Shelby's wife insists on keeping her. Rebelling against that plan, George escapes in the hope of being able to buy her when he reaches Canada. When Eliza learns that Shelby has sold her young son, too, she also plans to escape and invites another sold slave, Uncle Tom, to do the same. But he chooses to remain. Haley hires Marks and Loker to help get the boy back, but all three are thwarted when Phineas, master of a ferry-boat sympathizes with the fleeing slave and helps her run across a river sheated with ice. Uncle Tom is eventually sold to St Clare, husband to Mary and father to little Eva, as the result of the child being saved from drowning when the slave jumped after her. St Clare gives to his cousin, Ophelia, a slave girl, Topsy, who, having been nothing from trouble to them, he hopes she will be able to control. When Ophelia discovers that on their first meeting Topsy has stolen two gloves and a ribbon from her, she slaps the slave's face. Meanwhile, Haley, Marks, and Loker follow the trail on the other runaway slave, George. Phineas recognizes him from a poster, sympathesizes with him as he did his wife, and succeeds in waylaying and trapping all three in a cellar, by which maneuver George is able to find Eliza and their son. While staying at the same house, Eva scolds Topsy for her dangerous pranks, who replies that she is glad to harm white folks for laughing at her. "When dey are passing under my winder, I trows dirty water on 'em, and dat spiles der complexions," she declares proudly. Meanwhile, Marks and Loker discover George and his protector, Phineas, amid rocks overhanging a cliff. When Loker is shot by George and thrown over the cliff by Phineas, a frightened Marks quickly escapes. Ailing with a cough and feeling her end near, Eva forces her father to promise he will free his slaves after her death. But after her death, St Clare is accidently stabbed to death by Simon Legree in a bar-room quarrel with Gumption Cute before he has a chance to free Uncle Tom. As a result, the slave becomes Simon's property and Ophelia returns to her home in Vermont along with a much improved Topsy, who has learned to love her mistress. In desperate poverty, Gumption reaches Vermont in the hope that Ophelia, a kinswoman of his, will help him. Instead, he insults her suitor, Deacon Perry, and is thrown out of the house by the irate mistress. He joins Marks in helping Shelby locate Uncle Tom amid the swamps of Louisiana. But before they can reach him, Simon strikes the slave down dead for insubordination with the butt end of his whip and is himself killed when Marks shoots him in self-defense.

Once a milliner, now a gentlewoman, Mrs Tiffany, intent on being in fashion, receives all her visits on a single day of the week. Twinkle, a poet, recites his verses. However, a second guest, Augustus Fogg, seems uninterested in anything. Mrs Tiffany and her daughter, Seraphina, wish especially to impress Count Jolimaître. They also welcome her husband's wealthy and honest friend, Trueman, amused at seeing such a load of pretentious behaviors and her finery. "I see you make it a point to carry half your husband's shop upon your back!" he remarks to his hostess. Her servant girl, Millinette, is startled to discover the count in the house. Both pretend not to recognize each other. Trueman remarks that, though richer, Mr Tiffany seems unhappier. Moreover, he does not like the look of Snobson, his confidential clerk. Although it is thought that Seraphina will marry Jolimaître, he flirts with her friend and house-guest, Gertrude, in so crude a manner that Trueman hits him with a stick, which causes Mrs Tiffany to be "abimé with terror". From another friend of the family, Prudence, Trueman receives the false news that Seraphina favors Twinkle, but is well informed that Gertrude favors Colonel Howard. From Prudence's behavior, he guesses accurately that she herself has her eye on his own person. Despite her husband's financial difficulties, Mrs Tiffany goes forward with her grand ball. Mr Tiffany agrees but, to her irritation, insists on inviting Snobson, he being "in the power of this man" and a convenient match for Seraphina, an idea his wife considers a "fow pas (faux pas, "bad move"). When Snobson enters, she formally wishes him "Bung jure ("bonjour") and asks: "Comment vow porth, Monsur Snobson? (bad French for "How do you do?)" She removes him out of the way so that her daughter can speak alone with the count, who proposes marriage, to which Seraphina consents, though startled to learn it must be kept secret for the moment. When alone together, Millinette confronts Jolimaître. "Ah! trompeur! Vat for you fly from Paris?" she asks. "Vat for you leave me- and I love you so much? Ven you sick- you almost die- did I not stay by you- take care of you- and you have no else friend?" Their conversation is overheard by Gertrude, who agrees in keeping silent on the matter. During the ball, Mrs Tiffany is offended to see Gertrude dance with the count. To keep Millinette away from him, Gertrude proposes that she station herself with bouquets for the female guests, which the lady of the house considers a "recherchi idea", likely to be "all the rage in the bow-monde!" Fogg is also here, not indifferent to suppers. Prudence surveys Gertrude, to her eyes acting suspiciously, and tells Trueman what she has noticed. In the darkness of a corner, Gertrude imitates Millinette's voice, by which her suspicions in regard to the count are confirmed. Trueman and Howard are downhearted at Gertrude's apparent frivolity and Mrs Tiffany, highly scandalized, orders her out of the house. Yet, the next day, reflecting a moment and glancing at Gertrude's letter of explanation as to her behavior, Trueman becomes convinced that her only intent was to expose the count as a fraud, a conclusion the colonel also tardily arrives at. Prudence is distraught at having to inform Mrs Tiffany that Seraphina has eloped with Jolimaître, to Mr Tiffany's despair but his wife's content. Now that Howard is found worthy of Gertrude, a match sure to have been made without the involvement of money, Trueman reveals she is his grand-daughter and a rich heiress. But Mrs Tiffany's confidence is shaken by Millinette's revelation of the count's true identity. On hearing of the elopement, Hobson drunkenly interrupts to expose Mr Tiffany as a forger. To the surprise of all, Seraphina reappears, not quite married. "The clergyman wasn't at home- I came back for my jewels- the count said nobility couldn't get on without them," she explains. Elated, Tiffany begs her to marry Snobson instead and then begs Trueman to give him the money needed to cover his forgeries. Trueman is ashamed of him. He wakes the drunk Snobson to inform him he is an accessory to the forgeries, at which he quickly disappears. The count is forced to admit he is an imposter. He agrees to marry Millinette and is hired by Trueman according to his true vocation: a cook.

Clemanthe Apex has been overspending and is unable to pay debts amounting to $12,000. When she asks her husband for money, he declares: "There, madam, that is the rock on which you split." He specifies he is on the brink of bankruptcy, an answer she considers only a pretext. Desperate to achieve her aim, she asks Mary, her stepdaughter, for the money, she having recently received $15,000 from a dead aunt. Mary refuses as well, knowing her father would not approve of the loan. Her father himself is truly in financial trouble and his pride does not permit him to ask a loan from his ex-partner, John Unit. "By a succession of unexpected circumstances, I am straitened for money," he tells Mary. She does not hesitate to give him a cheque for $15,000. More bad news arrive for Clemanthe as her son, Charles, loses $5,000 in a gambling debt which must soon be paid. Clemanthe says she cannot. "But, I tell you, you have brought me up badly, and the result will be disgrace to us both," he retorts. Clemanthe can only find one solution: forge his half-sister's $15,000 cheque. Charles nervously does so. Meanwhile, John hears about the $5,000 loss, but Mary begs him not to divulge it to her father. "An idle population, consuming and not producing, can never be made to pay!" exclaims John, but he reluctantly agrees. Though not needing it anymore, Apex discovers Mary's cheque has already been cashed and for safety asks her to give him the money. Suspecting that her signature has been forged by Charles, whom she chooses to protect, she declines. Incensed, Apex throws her out of the house, she forced to live in a cheap boarding-house with only one servant to attend her. On learning of Mary's troubles, John proposes she accuse Charles, but she refuses. Unwillingly, he lends her the money as an installment in advance of his will. On his 60th birthday, he discovers that he has made a "fatal mistake in the ledger of life". "The assets that benevolent actions towards our fellow beings leave in the shape of love, respect, and sympathy are the only ones worth having, the only things that pay," he concludes. On finding out his half-sister's disgraceful condition, Charles is stunned and, against his mother's wishes, reveals the forgery to his astonished father, but all is resolved when John arrives with the money.

Oklahoma City council decision could lay tracks for commuter system
"There are federal grants involved. The state could get involved. We expect these other municipalities to get involved. I'd like to see this line happen, but it's very early in the process." If such lines are built, the city will need a place for downtown passengers to get on and off. City leaders are convinced such a transportation hub also would need to connect with the other mass transit services in Oklahoma City. Right now, that means buses. City officials also want a hub that can accommodate a streetcar system if one is funded in the future. The study the city is requesting from the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments would determine the best place for a transportation hub meeting those requirements. The city also is expected to include transit in its plans for MAPS 3. Cornett said the MAPS 3 proposal will be unveiled by the end of next week.

UPPSALA, Sweden, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- RADI Medical Systems today announced improvements to their latest generation pressure sensing guide wire, PressureWire(R) Certus, which will begin shipments immediately.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080708/311790 )
The latest generation of the PressureWire(R) Certus features a new ergonomically designed proximal connector which provides three key advantages for physicians. The new large entry funnel allows for fast and easy wire reconnection into the proximal connector, while also exhibiting less insertion friction. In addition, the new locking cap provides positive reinforcement when the wire and the connector are locked in place via a user intuitive on and off twist function.
"The updated PressureWire(R) Certus is another step forward in ease of use," commented Nico Pijls, MD, Department of Cardiology at Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. "I am pleased that improvements to PressureWire(R) Certus occur frequently to assist in measuring FFR in more challenging anatomy, such as we faced in the recently completed FAME study (Fractional flow reserve vs. Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation). In this multicenter randomized trial involving 1000 patients, FFR was measured in 3 arteries per patient using PressureWire(R). Successful, unequivocally interpretable measurement could be achieved in 99.3% of all coronary arteries thanks to recent improvements to the PressureWire(R)."
The PressureWire(R) Certus is used in the assessment of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). FFR expresses the maximum achievable blood flow in a coronary artery with abnormal stenosis as a fraction of maximum blood flow in the absence of a stenosis. FFR is 100% specific in identifying which lesions are actually causing the flow restriction and may be treated.
"Radi continues to make improvements to the PressureWire

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 118 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by LucyLouise what you pay is what you get I bought this product for a teenagers bedroom.We didnt have much money and this was the cheapest black ash fruniture we could find at such a low price.How ever.I would you have to be light handed with it,dont put heavy items init as it is not very sturdy.My husband put it up and he said it was ok to put togeather. SO for a low budget item id say yes its ok.if you want a strong product id say spend more money.But this idem works ok for us for now as long its used for a light amount of clothes and nothing else. 26 October 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MrNicholas Really Nice Item Firstly you have to remember the price whilst reviewing this product and maybe with that in mind I probably should have gave it the full 5 stars but I wont. The drawers went together nicely. I had both up in no time. my only niggle really was the back of the drawers is covered with a piece of card. Its not a major thing because obviously you cant see it but a piece or board would not of made a difference to the price really. On the whole its a great item and can see why its a top seller!! 25 September 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by minifish Budget but Good It arrived quickly and was reasonably easy to assemble on my own, once i started paying attention to the instructions, which are some of the easiest to follow I've ever used. The product looks pretty decent and the drawers aren't amazing but are a useable size. The only downsides to this product are the cheap plastic sliders which do the job but could be improved and some of the panel edges are uncovered (only at the back and base) but for the price I am very pleased with ti overall 04 April 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SonD Decent enough I purchased this to store undergarments, pajamas, books other bits and bob and it does the job as it's a nice space saver where the draws are deep enough. It's easy enough to assemble (took about half an hour). May not look it but it IS a little flimsy so I've chosen to store the heavier misc in the bottom drawer. Depends on who you're asking, my dad (carpenter by trade) who put it together called it 'cheap and nasty...' whereas I think it's a good value for money and handy. 06 May 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by casperdo02 great little space saver I bought this produce for my sons bedroom, we needed something small as his room is a box room hence no storage and not much room after a single bed and wardrobe are fitted in. After having it delivered and build up we needed somewhere for it to fit after considering the options i looked at the wardrobe had a look inside to my amazement most wardrobes come with free space at the bottom so it fits inside the wardrobe as a storage unit wot a great fit it was as well 30 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by delbourne really pleased with this purchased I brought 3 of these draws as my son did not want a wardrobe I was a bit worried at first thinking he would not have enough space for all of his things and was worried about the quality of them as they were a cheap price , I did not need to worry these draws are great for the price and plenty of room for my sons clothes , they look lovely in his room and it only took my partner just over an hour to put all 3 sets up fantastic really pleased 10 May 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gerrikins Good value for money paid Units very good value for money, especially for children's rooms. I ordered two sets at same time. One came from one courier one day and another from different courier on another day. Surely ASDA could make sure the two arrived together don't understand why. Overall very good, although takes time to put together. Don't know what other people were on about not enough glue provided. It doesn't say any glue provided anyway. 29 August 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by caz5968dave Cheap n cheerful Drawers are a good size, quite easy to put together. The only downside was that some of the edges were chipped and being black, the chips stand out like a sore thumb. However, as they were so cheap, I didn't see the point in returning them so I just used a black marker pen to colour in the chipped parts. If you're looking for better quality, then pay more but ideal if you're looking for something basic. 14 June 2013

His head swims in the heat, feels too light somehow. He eyes McKay with a gaze that takes too long to focus and wonders dimly if it feels the same to the other man.
McKay has stopped complaining about the heat and the sweat and the steam a while ago.
He sits still on the wooden bench, legs bent, elbows resting on his knees, head hanging. His hair is damp with moisture - sweat and condensated water, Sheppard knows, because the same mixture is tickling his scalp. McKay's breathing is shallow; he's probably trying not to inhale too much of the searing hot air, and Sheppard can relate to that, too. The steam makes it better and worse at the same time, soothing and burning.
In the beginning, when they had been put in here for cleansing before they could return through the sacred portal, it had only been the water that had ran from their bare arms and legs, causing McKay to scrub at it viciously and complain enough to test even Sheppard's patience.
They were contaminated with ghosts. Ghosts that would, according to the natives, possess the sacred portal -- meaning, of course, the stargate -- if they passed through it without being cleansed. The original feeling of dread at the word possession hasn't quite left Sheppard yet, even though he now knows that the ghosts were the last gasp security measures of a bombed out Ancient installation with just enough power to create a small shield and give an electric jolt to anyone without the ATA gene. No wonder the natives were frightened. Said natives had insisted on them not going to the ruins, so when they had found out that - all hail McKay's curiosity - the Atlantis team had done so after all, they had refused to let them go. Had stubbornly claimed that all of them - Ronon, Teyla, McKay and himself - were now contaminated with the curse of the ancestors, and that they'd have to cleanse themselves before they could return through the sacred portal again.
All in all, it wasn't the worst that could have happened.
If breaking taboos gets them a free spa day, he should advise Elizabeth to do it, too.
That's a thought he had two hours ago, though.
By now, Sheppard's sweating profusely and he feels the heat weakening him, stripping his defenses and slowing his reflexes. He's no longer sure if it's just the heat or if there is something more than water in that steam. He can't smell anything, but that doesn't mean there's nothing there; plenty of substances are undetectable to human senses. Drops of perspiration and water run along his arms and down his chest, the light tickle against his slick skin distracting him more and more. He knows it should disturb him that McKay isn't talking so he makes a last-ditch attempt to clear his head. "McKay?"
McKay moves as though waking from a trance. He raises his head, lazy and slow like it's too heavy, but not enough to actually move it in Sheppard's direction. Only his eyes hint at attentiveness. The off-white towel-like cloth that's slung low around his hips whispers quietly when his arms brush against it.
McKay's eyes settle on him, shadowed by eyelashes lowered from either fatigue or inertia. There is a line of droplets caught in his brow. "Hmm?" The sound doesn't morph into a word, can't, because McKay's mouth is obscured behind his upper arm, closed lips pressed against it lightly. He's looking vulnerable and languid at the same time, causing Sheppard's stomach to do a not entirely unpleasant, slow-motion roll.
"Still with me?" It's an even worse drawl than usual, he notices dimly.
Instead of an answer, McKay just blinks - unhurried and absolutely uncharacteristically indolent - and gives another unarticulated, humming sound. The moisture in the room is almost dense enough to carry the reverberation of it for Sheppard to feel against his own skin.
"Yeah, me, too."
Sheppard closes his eyes again, listening to their breathing and the occasional soft drip as a drop of sweat or water hits the smooth stone floor. The quiet is eerie. Not a sound from the outside reaches them in here.
The wooden bench creaks, and he cracks one eye open, checking out of routine as much as out of curiosity.
McKay has changed his position next to him. Head and arms hanging as though they're too heavy to hold up, he's stretching his back. The movement makes a few vertebraes pop with subdued cracking noises, and Sheppard would wince in sympathy if he had the energy. McKay groans and slowly rolls his head to the other side, repeating the crack-pop-groan routine.
The muscles in his back move, allowing Sheppard to map that broad back - the gentle plane of shoulderblades blending into round shoulder and the valley of that audibly so very fucked up spine. He can't help noticing how well-rounded everything about McKay appears. Not bony and sharp like himself.
McKay exhales, long and deep, and lifts his head a bit, eyes still closed, allowing Sheppard to watch the unhurried journey of a droplet of water or sweat from the tips of McKay's hair down the man's back. Vertebra for vertebra, lazy and slow, clinging to skin that's glistening with moisture; glittering pale golden when the low light catches it stopping now and then, only to continue when McKay breathes in or out.
Sheppard's mouth goes dry and he has the sudden, insane urge to follow the journey of that drop with his hand, his fingers twitching when the drop reaches the small of McKay's back.
McKay's skin - as much as he has seen of it on missions - is usually pale, but in the lighting of this room, it's almost glowing, a tint of pink from the heat and gold from the lights. Soft. It looks so damn soft and slick and warm, and Sheppard really doesn't need this train of thought. His hand twitches again as he watches the drop of perspiration roll farther down McKay's spine, lower and lower, toward his tailbone and under the towel. It takes all of his willpower to not reach out.
A drop of sweat rolls down his own nose and slips onto his lips, the sensation making him shiver, a welcome distraction. Sheppard touches his tongue to the moisture, tastes salt. His head feels even lighter than before, and it takes him a while to notice that McKay's eyes are open and that the other man is watching him over his shoulder.
Watching openly. Watching his mouth.
Sheppard breathes hard, feels his body tighten under that gaze. He doesn't move, however. If he stays still, maybe McKay won't notice anything -- off. Maybe he'll just move, hang his head again and close those damn inquisitive eyes, and Sheppard will be able to rebuild the walls that are melting around him like an ice-cube in the sunlight.
In the end, McKay does move. But not in the way Sheppard had expected at all.
McKay turns on the narrow bench, making it creak again. He inches forward and the suck-squelch release as his legs slide over the wood seems absurdly loud. His tongue touches his lower lip in an echo of Sheppard's own gesture and Sheppard is transfixed for a second.
The water has plastered McKay's hair against his skull and makes it darker than it normally is. Small beads of perspiration run along his temple and over his cheek, down along his jawline and throat and lower until they reach his chest and disappear in a scattering of dark hair, plastered against McKay's moisture-glistening skin. Sheppard is aware that he's staring but damn him if he can stop. He has never been fussy about gender, but he has never fully realised just how attractive another man can be. Looking at the way the moisture clings to McKay's biceps, slides over the swell of muscle down to his forearms and soaks the towel which by now rides precariously low on the other man's hips makes him wonder if this is what an epiphany feels like.
McKay's lashes are spiky from the steam and can't quite shadow the way the man's pupils are dilated so much there barely is anything of the blue iris left to see. Sheppard feels stripped bare under McKay's gaze, naked and horribly vulnerable.
The other man's eyes are flickering. They alone hold the usual frenetic McKay energy and Sheppard can't look away, can't run, has no place to hide. If possible at all, he feels even warmer under that intense gaze, half-fears greying out from the combined heat. Beads of sweat roll down his back, chest and face, tickling skin that is highly sensitised all at once.
Sheppard can't help thinking how this amount of perspiration would be disgusting in every other situation, but amidst the steam, it's clean and warm and enticing.
His heart slams harder against his chest when McKay lifts his hand, eyes still trained on Sheppard's mouth.
Seconds trickle by in which nothing happens.
The wood creaks. It's the only thing disturbing the sound of McKay's open-mouthed breathing and his own blood rushing in his ears. Sheppard suddenly shivers despite the heat as McKay slides closer and closer, into touching distance. He's leaning nearer and nearer, until Sheppard can feel McKay's breath against his wet skin. Sheppard clenches his hands around the bench to stop his shaking and because part of him is screaming to bolt, to flinch away, to leave, leave, leave because this is too intimate and too close and he shouldn't want this but oh, god, he does.
McKay's breath against his face is cooler than the air yet making his skin burn.
His own breath speeds up. His heart is thudding. His throat his dry. His skin prickles with awareness.
McKay edges closer, close enough for Sheppard to see the fine lines around his eyes. Laugh lines, frown lines and squint lines McKay didn't have the day they stepped through the stargate to Atlantis, because before that he spent all his time in labs and not in the field, under the sun, peering at scanners and getting sunburnt and complaining.
McKay's hand is in his line of vision.
Fingers, two of them, oddly callused, are slowly circling around Sheppard's lips, spreading salty drops of moisture.
Sheppard meets McKay's eyes and swallows convulsively, clawing at the last scrap of sanity that is still yelling at him to move, leave, run. The habitual urge to panic is subdued by the loud thudding of heart, however. So without thinking about the consequences, his tongue touches his lips again. Touches McKay's index finger.
A brief tremor runs through the other man, then McKay's index finger moves past its set course, mapping the skin of Sheppard's lips.
Sheppard's breath hitches and he fights to keep his eyes from closing at the languid, drowsy pleasure that floods his body as a result of this small touch. Instead, he meets McKay's eyes and touches his tongue to the salt-tipped finger deliberately.
God, it's too hot to move or he'd be touching McKay by now, running his hands and mouth over all that warm, moist skin, learning shape and sound and taste. He'd be tearing that towel away and would … His blood rushes ever louder in his ears, his heart thumping painfully, making him aware of the effects his fantasy is having on his body. It's too hot. If they don't want to faint from a heat-stroke, they'd better …
McKay's hand trails toward his jaw.
Screw caution.
Sheppard moves finally, slides his hands up McKay's arms in a languid glide up to his neck and pulls McKay forward, closing the gap between them.
He breathes in sharply when McKay's moist lips touch his and fire pools in his stomach; small licks and delicate bites first, getting acquainted to the feel of slick lips and urgent tongue and the taste of salt and McKay, who makes the most amazing small and broken sounds under his breath.
It's not enough, never enough and he locks his hands tighter around McKay's neck, moves them into his damp hair. Sheppard deepens the kiss and the room around him disappears in a flood of sensations - McKay's big hands languorously running over his moist back, making him shudder, and McKay sucking on his tongue, stripping away silent long-established protests and doubts, breaking Sheppard with cruel, erotic precision.
He doesn't want to stop. If this is what it means to break, then he wants to break over and over again, no matter if he feels the heat rising mercilessly until stars dance in front of his eyes and the world begins to swim out of focus.
It's McKay who breaks the kiss with a whimper, breathing fast and swaying.
Dizziness hits Sheppard so hard he tilts, nearly toppling off the bench. His limbs feel heavy and his head too light. The air is too hot to breathe. His eyes refuse to focus. Blackness swims at the edge of his vision. He can barely hear McKay's equally laboured breathing over the rush of blood in his ears.
Too hot. He knew this would come.
Finally, his arms fall away from McKay's neck and he slips off the bench onto the warm stone floor, a dead-weight.
The last thing he notices before he loses consciousness is McKay slipping next to him, their limbs tangling.
Freezing cold jolts Sheppard back into consciousness, and God, if the heat hasn't killed him, this will for sure. His eyes refuse to focus on anything beyond the pool of freezing water he's currently in, and he can feel every inch of skin stinging from the shock of cold. His balls are about ready to crawl inside his body. He attempts to get out of the icy water but realises that he can't.
Next to him, McKay makes undignified, not quite articulate noises of pain and outrage amidst the splashing and flailing -- the elderly women who had led them into the steam house are holding them down in the cold water with surprising strength.
For a moment, Sheppard thinks about killing McKay. It is his fault they have to go through this, after all. McKay gets lucky, though, because the women let go of their shoulders and reach for their hands to pull them both out of the water.
Sheppard shivers uncontrollably and feels as weak as a baby. He sways on the spot, as light-headed as he's felt in the steam house. For just a moment, he closes his eyes and tries to recall the events. When he opens them again, McKay is watching him.
Sheppard swallows and looks away.
Neither Ronon nor Teyla had looked surprised at the whole procedure when they had met Sheppard and McKay outside the villages main building after the cleansing ceremony. On their way back to the stargate, Teyla tells a story of the shared beliefs and customs of many worlds and once more Sheppard feels like McKay and he are the only real aliens here.
His hand brushes McKay's when they walk back through the stargate. Just for the blink of an eye, enough to notice that it still bears the heat from the steam house.
"You may have experienced visions." He still hears the elder's voice, whispering in his head.
Sheppard's mind flashes to a drop of perspiration, languidly rolling down a broad back.
He pushes the memory aside and locks it away tightly.

Elwinde Bio
To start with, let me clear up one minor detail. Online I actually go by the name of Gilliadson rather than Elwinde. Why I did that here I have no idea... Just call it a brain fart.
I have not been doing 3D art for long, A friend of mine from Everquest introduced me to DAZ Studio and it seems I just took off with it. I have done a little work with Blender. (Which is what I used to create my FDSword and Magestaff props.) My 2D programs of choice are paint.net and The Gimp. I don't understand why Paint.net gets so little recognition. It's easy to use, quite powerful and is really like Microsoft Paint on Steroids.
Anyway most of my art stems from my story writing which stems from playing EQ. My main stars in my pictures are Gilliadson and Sineliniel Shadowbane. Gilliadson is a Human Paladin and Sineliniel is a High Elf Elementalist (Magician in EQ) Other Characters from my EQ stories include Willanaome Bramblerose, D`Nar Vel`Dynn, Myrikel Shadowbane, Verlaine Shadowbane to name a few.
Taena is a new Character I created using Tanya for V4 and is not Related to EQ at all... I am working on developing a series for her and a story.
My other pictures that are not found here can be found in the Gallery Forum at www.LOMEQ.com and at DA under the name of Shadowbane-EQ.
Comments and Critiques are always welcome.
Thank you all who have left comments, added to Favorites and/or Rated any of the images.

For most of us, tax season is anything but a good time. That said, you may just find some fun in unearthing some hidden tax breaks that you've been missing out on! And it's a good year for it: the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 created several completely new tax credits and deductions.
Here are six tax adjustments that could save you big bucks this year:
If you contributed to a retirement plan…
Certain taxpayers may qualify for a retirement saving credit to reduce their tax liability if they contribute to a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or other retirement plan. This credit is very limited, however, and only those with a low enough Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) will qualify. Married couples that file jointly must have an AGI below $55,550 and single taxpayers must have an AGI below $27,750. If you qualify, the maximum credit would be $1,000 for singles and $2,000 for married couples. This credit is only available for those people who are over 18, not a dependent of someone else, and not a full time student.
If you bought a home…
By now, most of us are familiar with the newly popular home buyer tax credit created in 2008. Don't count yourself out if you're not technically a first-time home buyer: the credit only requires that you haven't owned a residence during the previous three years. It's important to note that the credit isn't a flat $8,000, rather 10 percent of the purchase price, up to $8,000. Most residences cost well over $80,000, but some condos or lofts with lower price tags might qualify for less than the $8,000 ceiling. The credit is 100 percent refundable (which means the credit could reduce your tax liability below zero and result in a refund). But beware: If you sell your residence within 36 months, be prepared to pay the credit back to the IRS.
- Need More Info? Read This Home Buyer Tax Credit FAQ
If you bought a new car…
In addition to the first-time home buyer credit, another perk of the (ARRA) is the new motor vehicle deduction. One of the biggest advantages of this deduction is that you do not have to itemize deductions to claim it. Most twenty-somethings aren't able to itemize before they purchase a house, so this is definitely something to jump on if you bought a new car this year. The purchase must have been made after February 16, 2009 and income limitations apply ($135,000 max for singles, $260,000 max for married couples).
If you work at a school…
If you're a teacher or hold another position at an elementary or secondary school (principal, aide, counselor, etc.), you can deduct up to $250 of your educational expenses from your income. You do not have to itemize to claim this educator expense deduction. To claim it, you must work at least 900 hours during the year at the school. Qualified expenses vary; gym teachers, for example, can deduct expenses for athletic equipment.
If you moved for your job or business…
If you had to pack up and move sometime during 2009 for a new job or to start your own business, you can deduct certain unreimbursed moving expenses from your income. You do not have to itemize for this deduction. The two biggest rules are: your new gig must be at least 50 miles further from your old residence than your old job was, and you must stay employed at the new job for at least 39 weeks of your first working year (78 weeks of the next two years for self-employed individuals). Be sure to keep track of expenses like transportation of household items (including cars and pets) and travel and lodging while moving to the new residence. Just don't expect to write off meals at fancy restaurants along the way; meals aren't deductible.
If you attended training required by your job…
If you had to attend mandatory training for your job this year, you can deduct most expenses related to the training. To be able to claim the deduction, the purpose of the training or class must be to maintain or improve current job skills. You cannot write off training or classes to qualify for a new position. Supplies, books, and travel to the classes are all deductible expenses. You must itemize to claim this deduction, so this excludes all taxpayers who take the standard deduction.
Come tax season, be sure to examine your tax forms closely. If you use a tax preparer, don't be afraid to ask how well he or she researched your particular situation. There could be many deductions or credits that you qualify for that you don't even know about. Tax season is a time to use the current recession to your benefit—take advantage of all the tax breaks you can get!
