Omnidirectional Antenna, Ranger Block III
Omnidirectional antennas were a staple of NASA's early planetary exploration craft. Early Ranger (Blocks I through III), Mariner, and lunar-orbiting spacecraft all featured omnidirectional antenna at their apexes. For Ranger, most of the antenna remained covered, with only the very tip protruding from a conical encasing. Mariner featured longer antennas which for some missions, were encased behind grating or in a conic cover. This antenna was used on a lunar orbiter, which photographed the moon in the late 1960s to select landing sites for a human landing mission. Made mostly from aluminum, the antenna protruded directly from the side of the spacecraft. The lunar orbiters featured two antennae: high-gain with singular directional patterns, and low-gain which was omnidirectional.
Hughes Aircraft, the manufacturer of this antenna, donated it to the Museum in 1973.

Operational Amplifier Implementation of Ideal Electronic Crossover Networks
During the study of ideal crossover networks, the value of operational amplifiers became obvious. Now that integrated circuit operational amplifiers are available at reasonable cost, an electronic crossover network employing them will be demonstrated. There will also be discussion of the optimum filter characteristics and of the power requirements of the amplifiers which follow the networks.

I am thinking of buying a new car, and I need to know if a four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine would be the wisest choice. I live on a hilltop, 2,400 feet above the valley, and the road to my home is about five miles up the long, steep hill. I have always driven a car with six or more cylinders, and I fear that a four-cylinder would not last long climbing the hill each day. What do you advise? --Mary
TOM: There's not an absolute answer to this, Mary. It would be like asking you if my brother should buy a shirt in XXL or XXXL. You'd be hard pressed to give him a good answer without seeing the specific shirt and the size of my brother's spare tire.
RAY: It was a 195/65 R16 as of yesterday.
TOM: In general, engines are getting smaller and more powerful. So lots of people who used to buy V-8s are now buying sixes. And people who bought sixes are buying fours. And soon, people who've always bought fours will be buying three-cylinder engines!
RAY: And because of advanced technologies, like direct injection and turbo charging, people aren't giving up any power when they're moving down in size and weight.
TOM: So there's no general rule anymore. There are underpowered sixes and overpowered fours. What you get depends on the technologies in the engine and the car the engine is paired with.
RAY: Sometimes the manufacturer will lay out a choice of engines for you. Pickup trucks are a great example of that. Some people use their pickup trucks as suburban commuter vehicles. So a six-cylinder engine may be all they need. Others may haul heavy equipment with their pickup, and they need the additional towing capacity of a V-8.
TOM: But we've also seen cases where a manufacturer will offer a lower-powered, older-technology "base" engine just to be able to advertise a low starting price. In that case, almost no one wants the base engine.
RAY: And then there are cases in which the base engine is really all anybody needs. The manufacturer just offers a more powerful engine to satisfy the egos of folks who want to overdo it and pay more. The Honda Accord comes to mind, with its great 185-horsepower four-cylinder engine, and its unnecessary 278-hp six.

Should You Use Oral Drugs For Onychomycosis?
Patients with onychomycosis are becoming increasingly aware that oral antifungals have the potential to cure their underlying infections, yet a recent study finds the majority of podiatrists continue to rely largely on debridement to provide symptomatic relief. As a profession, we're quite knowledgeable about the various approaches to treating onychomycosis, but this study reveals that current treatment practices are aligned only partially with patients' attitudes and behaviors regarding their infections. The study, a survey of over 900 onychomycosis patients and over 600 doctors conducted by the research firm Lieberman Research Associates, suggests that in addition to providing the symptomatic relief our patients desire, we should start treating onychomycosis as we would any other infection — medically.
A Review Of Treatments For Onychomycosis
The therapeutic approaches to managing onychomycosis range from palliative to curative and include nail debridement, topical therapy, oral antifungals or some combination of these treatments.1 For DPMs, debridement and topical medications have long been the most popular forms of treating onychomycosis.1,2
When you debride, you can effectively relieve the patient's pain, help prevent subungual ulceration, reduce the fungal load and improve the appearance of the nail.2 While debriding mycotic nails does not cure the underlying infection, it does help address a patient's desire for symptomatic relief, plays a role in managing the infection and helps avoid serious morbidity.1,3
Topical preparations for nail infections also are generally regarded as palliative therapy due mainly to their questionable efficacy. The low cure rates probably result from the inability of these agents to penetrate the nail plate keratin and contact the target tissue in sufficient quantity and duration to kill the invading fungi effectively.1
I should note that one topical treatment for onychomycosis, 8 percent ciclopirox topical solution, reportedly is more effective than older topical agents. Double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials found that once-a-day application of this FDA-approved modality for 48 straight weeks caused mycological cure rates ranging between 29 percent and 36 percent and complete cure rates (no nail involvement and negative mycology) between 5.5 percent and 8.5 percent.4
In general, you'll find topical therapies show their most beneficial effects when your patient has a small degree of clinical involvement.3 Using topical preparations can help you treat onychomycosis as they can soften the nail plate and help contain the infection. However, be aware the long treatment courses frequently required often result in poor patient compliance.1,2
Griseofulvin and ketoconazole, the older-generation oral antifungal agents that have been used to treat onychomycosis, suffer from low efficacy and high relapse rates.2,5 Pharmacodynamic characteristics of both of these agents require that you administer these drugs in prolonged treatment regimens lasting up to 18 months for toenail onychomycosis.1,2 The long-term dosing regimens, potential for adverse experiences, poor efficacy and frequent recurrences have caused many physicians to avoid prescribing griseofulvin and ketoconazole for onychomycosis.
What You Should Know
About Itraconazole And Terbinafine
Within the last six years, the FDA has approved two newer oral antifungal agents (itraconazole and terbinafine) for treating onychomycosis. These current-generation oral antifungal agents offer a favorable safety profile, shorter courses of treatment, lower relapse rates and superior efficacy compared to griseofulvin and ketoconazole.
Based on pivotal trials, itraconazole boasts a mycological cure rate of 54 percent (complete cure rate of 14 percent), while terbinafine has a 70 percent mycological cure rate (complete cure rate of 38 percent).6,7 Unlike the older-generation oral antifungals, itraconazole and terbinafine rapidly enter the nail bed and diffuse into the entire nail plate where they accumulate. Given this "reservoir effect," which allows these agents to remain active long after you've ceased providing treatment, you can give patients shorter courses of therapy.2,5
Newer-generation oral antifungals also have substantially better safety profiles than older-generation oral agents. A prospective, multicenter, open-label study evaluated the safety of oral terbinafine in 1,508 patients who received at least 12 weeks of therapy. The study confirmed the safety of terbinafine in the population at large, and showed no differences for either elderly patients or patients with diabetes.8
Additional trials of terbinafine and itraconazole have confirmed both agents are safe to use. Since the liver metabolizes both agents, it is recommended that you perform a simple blood test of liver enzyme function when considering each drug.6,7 A difference between the two treatments with respect to safety is the potential for drug-drug interactions. Imidazole antifungals (including itraconazole, fluconazole and ketoconazole) have a greater potential for clinically significant drug interactions than the allylamine terbinafine.7,9,10
Editor's Note: The Food And Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a health advisory on the oral antifungals, itraconazole and terbinafine. It noted that a small risk of developing congestive heart failure is associated with using itraconazole. The FDA also noted that, in rare cases, severe liver problems may be associated with using itraconazole or terbinafine.
Be aware patient groups (including elderly patients, immunocompromised patients and patients with diabetes) who are at increased risk for developing onychomycosis also have a greater risk of drug-drug interactions due to a generally higher rate of prescription drug use.
Should DPMs Re-Evaluate
Their Approach To Onychomycosis?
Despite the aforementioned research, the Lieberman study found that DPMs recommend debridement to three-fourths of our onychomycosis patients and oral antifungals to fewer than one-third, even though we perceive oral compounds to be far more effective. By comparison, 64 percent of dermatologists and 65 percent of primary care physicians prescribed oral antifungals, with neither group recommending debridement.
What accounts for this discrepancy? Most likely, it stems from our desire to improve the nail's appearance and provide rapid symptomatic relief of pain as only a good debridement can do.1 When asked to indicate their reasons for treating onychomycosis, 69 percent of DPMs surveyed felt pain was an important factor compared to only 49 percent of dermatologists or primary care physicians. Somewhat surprisingly, however, neither cosmetic concerns nor the desire to be free from pain was a primary motivating factor for patients seeking treatment, according to the survey.
In fact, the majority of patients surveyed said the main reason why they sought treatment for onychomycosis was because it was an infection that wouldn't go away on its own. By the time patients come to us seeking treatment, they are generally frustrated with their condition and motivated to find a solution to the problem. Six out of 10 survey participants found their infection somewhat bothersome (40 percent) or extremely/very bothersome (22 percent).
Clearly, there is a disconnect between the perception of different treatments and the reality of what is actually prescribed for onychomycosis patients. Despite the substantial risk of secondary infection among diabetic and immunocompromised patients, the study revealed an alarming 30 to 38 percent of these patients had not received any onychomycosis treatment during the preceding 12 months (see Table 1). Surprisingly, only 8 percent of these high-risk patients benefitted from the superior efficacy of oral antifungal agents, a value nearly identical to otherwise healthy low-risk patients.
Overall, the greatest number of surveyed patients, including high-risk patients, used the least effective treatments for onychomycosis, while the fewest number of patients used the most effective treatments. The high degree of efficacy and safety of oral antifungals makes them an ideal choice for treating onychomycosis, yet, according to the Lieberman study, only 2 percent (itraconazole) to 5 percent (terbinafine) of patients have used oral antifungals in the past year. On the other hand, 30 percent of patients have received debridement and trimming in the preceding 12 months, even though debridement constitutes palliative management only and will not eliminate the infection.2,3
It is understandable why patients with onychomycosis are frustrated with their infections and increasingly request their physicians prescribe curative therapy in addition to palliative relief. By prescribing oral medication that can eliminate onychomycosis, podiatric physicians undoubtedly will increase patient satisfaction by accurately addressing patients' desires and their medical needs.3
Addressing Misgivings
DPMs May Have Over Oral Antifungals
The results of the Lieberman survey reveal patients' attitudes about onychomycosis have shifted following the introduction of current-generation oral antifungals. Patients realize oral antifungals now have the potential to eliminate their infections once and for all and they may no longer be satisfied with periodic debridements as their sole form of therapy. However, I should note that performing debridement may help you maximize the efficacy of oral antifungals when you're treating patients with refractive infection or onycholytic nails.11
One obvious question that emerges from the Lieberman data is why podiatrists, in general, seem reluctant to prescribe oral antifungals for their patients. Perhaps, in the past, we have failed to perceive or misinterpreted our patients' desires for a cure. By providing immediate symptomatic relief, we kept our patients happy, but why not use the tools at our disposal to eliminate the underlying disease?
Perhaps some DPMs feel oral antifungals are unnecessarily risky treatment choices. From my point of view, these new oral antifungals are sufficiently safe to use, as long as we take drug interactions into account and follow recommendations for liver enzyme testing. Maybe the "hassle factor" of ordering liver function tests has caused some podiatrists to shy away from oral agents, but keep in mind we routinely order blood tests for our surgical patients.
Granted, treatment costs can be a factor for patients who don't have adequate insurance coverage. However, it's important to properly evaluate treatments for onychomycosis on a cost-to-cure formula that emphasizes the cost of unsuccessful therapy. No matter how inexpensive the therapy, if you don't cure the infection, the treatment costs have been wasted.
Lastly, perhaps some podiatrists are concerned that oral antifungals will diminish their patient base by eliminating onychomycosis. On the contrary, many more patients are likely to find their way to your practice as your successfully treated patients spread the word. I believe podiatrists who continue to manage patients through debridement alone are likely to lose patients to physicians who provide effective therapy to their patients in the form of oral antifungals.
Final Notes
Both the study findings and a wealth of scientific data suggest we need to rethink our approach to treating onychomycosis. By combining debridement with potentially curative therapy via oral antifungals, we can achieve an excellent clinical outcome and increase our patients' satisfaction with their therapy.

Private Pensions:
'Top-Heavy' Rules for Owner-Dominated Plans
HEHS-00-141: Published: Aug 31, 2000. Publicly Released: Sep 29, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7202
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed top-heavy rules in relation to other pension laws and regulations intended to ensure that workers benefit equitably from their pension plans, focusing on: (1) key differences between top-heavy rules and the general rules for nondiscrimination and vesting in contributions and benefits; (2) the most recent data available for GAO analysis on the characteristics of new plans that report being top-heavy; and (3) what is known about the overall effects of top-heavy rules on numbers of plans and participants and on employer costs.
GAO noted that: (1) top-heavy rules for measuring how benefits are apportioned, together with required minimum benefits and vesting, ensure that workers get certain minimum benefits that they would otherwise not receive under the general nondiscrimination and vesting rules; (2) top-heavy rules are designed to address situations prevalent in owner-dominated firms; (3) the rules identify pension plans in which the majority of benefits accrue to owners and officers, and they require higher minimum benefits and faster vesting for workers in such plans; (4) top-heavy rules utilize a single measure of the value of participants' accumulated contributions or benefits; (5) in contrast, nondiscrimination rules permit employers to choose among many optional measures for valuing the amount of benefits, a number of which may rely on projections that overstate the value of pension benefits workers actually receive; (6) use of certain nondiscrimination rules can leave workers who are outside the top employee group with annual employer contributions or benefits accruals that are well below those that are required if the top-heavy rules are applied; (7) new plans reporting top-heavy status tend to be small, defined contribution plans in the service sector of the economy; (8) approximately 84 percent of all top-heavy plans established in 1996, most recent year for which data were available, had fewer than 10 participants; (9) the vast majority of all new plans, and of new top-heavy plans, were defined contribution plans; (10) where as 52 percent of new plans were in the service sector of the economy, plans of service firms constituted 70 percent of new top-heavy plans in 1996; (11) within the service sector, two-thirds of plans started by physicians, dentists, and legal service firms were top-heavy, a rate far higher than for other parts of the service sector; (12) little is known about the overall effects of top-heavy rules on plan formation; (13) formidable data and methodological challenges make it difficult to isolate the incremental effect of top-heavy rules form the many other economic and regulatory factors that influence employers' behavior regarding pension plan formation; (14) GAO found no research that has quantified the overall effects of top-heavy rules on the number of pension plans and participants; and (15) in evaluating top-heavy rules' impact, the federal government must weigh the extent to which top-heavy rules discourage coverage against the higher participant benefits they provide.

Mental Health Notes
Wraparound Milwaukee is a unique system of care for children with serious emotional, behavioural, and mental health needs and their families. It uses a wraparound approach that focuses on strength-based, individualized care. Combined with a unique organizational structure, it delivers a comprehensive and flexible array of services to youth and their families.
A recent public inquiry into the death of Edward Snowshoe in the federal penitentiary system has renewed calls across the country to improve coordination of mental health and justice services, particularly for inmates with mental health histories.
The Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health has released its 2013-14 annual report, (knowledge + innovation)you = awesome.
As the Centre celebrates its 10th anniversary, this report takes the opportunity to reflect on how far the child and youth mental health sector has come and look ahead to a future full of possibilities.

On June 18, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) launched its policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions. The policy reflects the OHRC's interpretation of the Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code) with respect to mental health (MH) disabilities and addictions, and provides standards, guidelines and best practice examples. The launch event featured OHRC Chief Commissioner Barbara Hall as well as speakers from the Dream Team, Empowerment Council and Ryerson University.
In June 2014, CMHA Ontario released a revamped map of the Adult Criminal Justice and Mental Health Systems. This map was originally created in 2009 as part of the CMHA Ontario Network issue on Forensic Mental Health (see page 14). The new map provides an overview of the various pathways through the criminal justice and mental health systems with a focus on where these two systems intersect. Although this map provides a general overview, it is important to note that each individual's case can be different and not all journeys through these systems are reflected in this map.
In its final written submission to the Dean Mayo Moran independent review of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), CMHA Ontario calls for strong and consistent protections for people with mental health disabilities in Ontario.
The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health, with support from CAMH Health Promotion Resource Centre and EENet, are pleased to present the next webinar in its "Ask the Experts" series.

Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
The 'main' Q is somehow simultaneously challenged by every other being in the Star Trek universe: all humans, all Borgs, all Douwds, all Organians, Trelane, all Metrons, Nagilum, Edo god, etc., etc.
The other members of the Q are watching from the Continuum, but not interfering.
The team gets 40 months of prep time. Can they do anything to Q, or will they be easily defeated?
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
They're GONE!
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
Something interesting that I've noticed from the various Q episodes is, whenever someone (like Picard) has told Q to go away, within a short period of time he has.
One time he said something like, "I'm leaving because I choose to, not because you told me too."
This does make me wonder if Q has to go if directly told to do so, whether he wants to or not. If "everyone" were to simultaneously tell Q to go away, he just might cease to exist.
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
He doesn't need to snap them out of existence, he can just send them really, really far away.
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
I think he'd be done in by carnivorous tribbles. What a way to go.
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
Trelane could make the difference here.
What are the limits of his power again? Because if I remember correctly there was some speculation he WAS a Q
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
In a Peter David novel he was.
Kirk managed to render him powerless by destroying his amplifier machine, so his abilities were technology based.
Trelane's parents seemed less bound by technology, but they didn't bother showing off either.
I think the strongest contenders might be the Organians.
By everyone else, even the Borg, Q would be pretty untouchable and the best the team can hope for is a stalemate.
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
All you really need to do is give Lwaxana Troi either the power of an Organian or a Douwd and send her after Q - problem solved!
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
Yet they're oddly vulnerable to civil war muskets. :rolleyes:
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
It seems that the general consensus is that Q is so far above the others that if he doesn't want them to exist, there's not much they can do about it. This is obvious in the case of Romulans, changelings, and androids, but Douwds, Organians, Trelane, Metrons, etc., are depicted as being very advanced. (Trelane had his machine but was still very advanced compared to humanoids.)
It would be interesting to note whether dispatching of a Douwd or Organian would be 'harder' for Q (even infinitesimally so), or if eliminating a very powerful being would be as simple as destroying a Tribble or a Kelvan.
Also, I wonder if the combined might of these beings could injure Q (however slightly). This is assuming that Q is somehow 'taken by surprise,' or whatever, and he just doesn't vanish them away immediately.
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
Stuff him into the TARDIS! Oh, wait, that would be a crossover wouldn't it? Besides, Q would just make one as big as a Borg cube appear and say "Mine's bigger on the outside!"
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
This is also assuming members of the Q Continuum would ever let an actual Q be injured.
Even when Q was going to destroy himself by taking out a shuttle and letting that energy field destroy him (can't remember the name of the episode off the top of my head), another Q stepped in and saved him.
One question I do have given recent scientific discoveries... Could the Q Continuum stop the implosion of the Universe?
Check that, I'll make a new thread out of it.
Re: Q vs. Everyone Else in the Universe
The implosion I think so--but it seems we are moving towards heat death or a big rip.
I think the Douwds have the best shot at the Q. The Organian attempt to stop conflict and the Excalbian attempts to foment it cancelled each other out, according to DC, leaving things freer.

I've had my Tesla for almost two months. There have been a few bumps in the road (pun intended), but with each interaction Tesla has made it right and I walked away satisfied. To me, these experiences have made this awesome car 10 times better. To drive this point home (you got it, pun intended), a study in contrast....
My car was one of the affected cars in the recent partial recall. Tesla called me, setup a time, picked up my car, took it to the service center, repaired the problem, returned the car to my house and plugged it in. Before leaving they called, confirmed the return and wished me a wonderful day. No charge.
In contrast, my ICE was having an issue. I took it to the shop where I was informed I would have to leave it overnight. I was not offered a ride home and had to make arrangements. The following day they called and raised the price by 35% and informed me it would be another day. On day 3 I had to make arrangements for a ride to retrieve the car. When I got in the glove box was hanging open. Strange, why were they in the glove box? I shut the glove box but it popped back open. Great, not only did they break it, but they didn't tell me and now I either have to arrange for somebody to pick me up and leave it for them to fix or just deal with a broken glove box. After arguing with them for 15 minutes about why they need to fix what they broke, I left the car and arranged for a ride home. 3 days later they call and tell me the glove box is fixed. Again, I arrange for a ride to go pick up the car. I climb in and see that the glove box is indeed fixed. Yay! I start the car and roll down the window. The window does not move. I take a closer look to find that the window tint is scratched and the door panel is not properly affixed. I'm guessing somebody slammed the door hard resulting in the window falling down inside the door. They used some tool to pull it up scratching the tint and breaking loose the door panel. They got the window up and left it that way, off the track and not functioning. Again, I have to figure out how to get home and argue with them about why they need to fix what they clearly broke.
End result? I'm left with annoyed friends who are sick and tired of driving me back and forth from the shop, an ICE I'm afraid to take for repairs and a very deep appreciation for Tesla.
Wow. Please share the dealership's name if only as a warning to others.
Speaking of the "Tesla Difference" as a person who owns a large ISP and is fully aware of the security state we now live under, can we get assurance in writing that our movements, conversations and other metadata during operaton of the Tesla S vehicle will not be "dumped" to the intellegence services of the United States? Do the US government (or others) have the right to this data? Our company has heard rumors that the data collected by vehicles built past 2005 have capabilites beyond the black boxes by the mandate of Federal law. Is this the case? Frankly I am not thrilled with my movements being tracked by my car and feel we should have the ability to overide the GPS geographic data. Is every body comfortable with this possibility? No written denial no order from us. I'll go back to a 87 Ferrari which I damn well am sure has no tracking devices.
Bob, your car and the phone in your pocket can both be used to track you to a few yards via triangulation and packet signal timing. Its a requirement for 911 calls from cell phones.
The difference is in why they do it.
Profit is job 1 at other automakers. Not evil, but not a mission.
Showing the world a better way is what drives Tesla. Profit is necessary, but it is not the primary aim.
They took the road less traveled. And that has made all the difference.
I have to say that although I agree in principle, jbunn makes a great point.
Do you NOT have cell phone service. We know that every provider not only turns over the records of each conversation, but the geolocation data.
So you don't have cell service? You know that all ISP data is tracked, catalogued and collected by the alphabet soup of agencies, right?
You still surf the net, send emails etc?
I'd be happy to see all this loose data allowed to evaporate and not be vacuumed up, but until we have some push-back by our Reps, you are allowing your location, preferences, private conversations and circle of acquaintances to be captured already.
The above discussion should be a different thread, it takes away from the OP's very good post. Just a thought.
We are working on securing our customers searches using non trackable engines. Good progress on that front. We are implemeting secure protocals for e-mail. Even our iphone has an app for secure communications. I just do not like to have my cars electronics working for the wrong side.
Bob, your secure iPhone app does not get around this issue. Google FCC Standards for E911. Quoted from Wiki...
"Wireless network operators must provide the latitude and longitude of callers within 300 meters, within six minutes of a request by a PSAP.[5] Accuracy rates must meet FCC standards on average within any given participating PSAP service area by September 11, 2012 (deferred from September 11, 2008).[6]
Location information is not only transmitted to the call center for the purpose of sending emergency services to the scene of the incident, it is used by the wireless network operator to determine to which PSAP to route the call."
In reality, in an urban area the cell network can track you with much greater accuracy. Down to a few yards. No protocol overlay can defeat the underlying technology. And you don't need to be making a call. You just need to have the phone on. I've worked with cellular switch data for a couple major carriers. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Afaik any travel data is anonymized before storage on TM servers. But even if not, in todays' world, the US and their FISA system seems to get any data they want, even from citizens of friendly countries.
@jbunn +1 excellent point!
The tracking topic is good stuff, but no one will find it under this thread title. Please repost under a good title for those interested.
Would also do a good turn to the OP.
+1 Mark K
I can appreciate the OP's story because my ICE was in the shop 6 different times for a total of 6 weeks out of 6 months while I was waiting for my Model S.
I was bumming rides all the time because their shuttle ran during limited hours.
Most of the work was on problems they created while working on the original problem. But, they gave me a nice discount on the new parts. Pfft...
I owned my last ICE for 14 years and service in the begining was OK, but not great. Trouble started when the super dealer owning all brands took over the local auto row. Prices went up, at best 2 of 3 items were done, unrelated items broke in the car ( e.g. 60k service & smog check and the side mirror adjustment button was destroyed, like hit by a hammer... ). Waiting at the dealer for a ride to the rental car, sitting at the rental shop for 2 hrs to finally get a car. Get a call the car is ready and arriving at the dealer the car wasn't even moved to the shop and nothing done... and on and on and on. In my limited experience if the super dealers loose their job it is self inflicted and well deserved.
Felt your pain with your ICE experience.

HOUSTON — Glenn Spencer was the first Oklahoma State player or coach off the Reliant Stadium field Saturday, quickly disappearing into the tunnel before the band could even finish playing the alma mater.
Oklahoma State football: Defense the 'story of the game' in Cowboys win over Mississippi State
He certainly didn't need to make an early break for the locker room. In fact, nobody in orange likely would have argued had he stood there and relished in the start of his tenure as the Cowboys' new defensive coordinator.
In a contest where the No. 13 Cowboys' normally explosive offense surprisingly sputtered, the defense dominated, keeping Mississippi State out of the end zone in a 21-3 victory that pegged the Big 12 favorites against a formidable SEC foe.
"I don't think there's any question the story of the game for us is our defense," Cowboy coach Mike Gundy said. "There hasn't been many games at Oklahoma State over the last five or six years — maybe even longer than that — where defense is the story.
"It's a team game, but defense certainly kept us in and allowed the offense to get things going in the third and fourth quarter."
It's the first time since the 1995 Bedlam game that the OSU defense held a BCS opponent to three or fewer points. And it was quite a debut for a new-look unit that was so maligned down the stretch last season but promised to be more aggressive in 2013.
The day didn't start so well on that side of the ball, as Mississippi State (0-1) capped a 13-play drive that lasted more than six minutes with a field goal to give the Bulldogs the early lead. OSU then gave up 48 more yards before a Justin Gilbert interception — his first since the Fiesta Bowl two seasons ago — ended that possession.
After that, the Bulldogs' drives went a little something like this: Punt. Punt. Punt. Punt. Turnover on downs. Punt. Punt. Missed field goal. Interception.
"They grinded that one out," Spencer said. "It felt like, to me, our backs were against the wall the whole day, and they were just so in tune on the sideline.
"I think after that first drive, they knew they were in for a war and we were going to have to keep this thing low (scoring), and they went out and performed."
The best stretch came in the third quarter, when the Cowboys (1-0) allowed just 10 yards and zero first downs. By then, replacement quarterback J.W. Walsh and the OSU offense had found its rhythm, using a run-heavy attack and a pair of Jeremy Smith touchdowns to take a 21-3 lead in the opening minute of the final period.

The more people have been able to achieve while on the move, the more dependent society has become on mobile broadband networks. As applications like self-driving vehicles and remotely operated machinery evolve, become more innovative, and more widespread, the level of performance that 5G networks need to deliver will inevitably rise. Keeping pace with ever-increasing demand calls for greater flexibility in all parts of the network, which in turn requires tight integration between 5G radio, transport networks, and cloud infrastructures.

Samantha Heller, a dietitian, nutritionist and exercise physiologist based in Fairfield, Conn., said reformulations that reduce trans fat in foods are good news for consumers.
However, consumers still need to read labels because many foods on the market are still undergoing reformulation, she said, and many others still contain trans fats, also known as partially hydrogenated oils.
"Of concern is the continued and possibly increased use of tropical oils, such as palm, palm kernel and coconut oils, as a replacement for trans fat," Heller said. For example, it is difficult to find a margarine free of trans fat and tropical oil that one can use for baking and cooking, she said.
Most people know they should reduce their consumption of saturated fats like butter and cheese, but may be unaware that tropical oils in many processed foods are also saturated, Heller said.
Heller suggests consuming healthy fats, such as olive and walnut oils, and unprocessed foods that don't contain tropical oils.
Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn., said removal of trans fat "from food is a well-justified public health priority."
This review is reassuring, he said. "In general, trans fat is coming out of food, and saturated fat is not going in. Even when it does, there is apt to be a net health benefit," he said. Some saturated fat is probably rather harmless, "but that's a subtlety that dietary guidelines are not yet addressing," Katz said.
Without intending to, this review raises an issue of importance to the field of public health nutrition, Katz added.
"We often focus on one nutrient at a time and risk improving one nutrient feature, while compromising others," Katz said. Un

Something weird happened the other day with a bottle of pumped breast milk. It was the end of the day and I had some pumped milk left in the fridge - I usually freeze whatever's left at the end of the day. When I took the bottle apart (Dr. Brown's with the vent system) it looked like the milk had curdled - there were little curds all up and down the venting system and inside of the bottle. I had pumped the milk that morning and it didn't sit out during the day (and even if it had been out for awhile, I thought BM could last 8 hours at room temp). It smelled OK, not sour or anything.
What could cause milk to do this? I tossed it to be sure - it was so gross looking. I nursed and pumped for my first baby for 11 months and nothing like this ever happened. Any ideas? Thanks!

Our Disc Priest usually tops throughput, but he's also really good.
EDIT: Oh wait, I thought that was in response to my "disc priests on Tsulong" thing. ITT: I'm dumb.
Last edited by TheWindWalker; 2012-12-11 at 08:41 PM.
My opinions: 5.0 was the golden age of content, the ability prune barely did anything, and 6.2 is actually an enjoyable timesink.
Dr's our disc priest, he does okay.
edit: did notice my comment could be interpreted as disc topping Tsulong. Meant topping most fights, not just Tsulong specifically.
edit2: although Dr still topped Tsulong, go figure.
Our group has too many healers... Disc Priest, HPal, RSham, RDruid, and Monk (mind you this is for 10man, we just go os most of the time). If we 3 heal a fight, our disc priest tops charts nearly every time (has 1-9 bound, and CLICKS everything else... obviously least skilled healer we have). Our hpal is usually second, followed by resto shaman, followed by monk, followed by resto druid. If we two heal a fight, Hpal>RSham>Disc>Monk>Druid. Obviously with 3 healing shaman mastery fails to shine, while absorbs dominate the fight. On two heal fights Resto shaman can really show off, with pally heals always being solid.
If anyone needs lovin it's resto druids. If anyone deserves nerfs it's disc priest. I see holy pallys and resto shaman in a good place.
right now disc priests are by far the strongest healer if you take every aspect into consideration. they have very strong cooldowns, great throughput, very high dps while healing and nice utility. other healers may be similiar in one or two aspects but no healer comes even close overall.
Unless you are all playing at a level with the best in the world then it is highly likely that the healer with the highest level of skill is topping healing meters in your raids.
If everyone is playing near perfectly then the above comments have some validity and are no doubt of great interest for server 1st guilds.
The rest of us plugging slowly through the hc mode progression path (or even those of you still progressing in normal) are not even slightly helped by these threads.
Case in point i play a resto druid and none of the healers we have tryed get close to me on pretty much every fight.
You will all get more mileage learning to heal better (or dps better) with YOUR class than rerolling to FOTM class.
You will all get more mileage bringing the better players than the better classes.
If you MUST consider classes at all then just make sure you have the important buffs covered (hint: hunters can supply pretty much any buff you are lacking) and try and make sure most loot drops will be useful to someone.
That's not even getting into how overpowered spirit shell and PW:S are on many fights. It really doesn't make sense that disc isn't the lowest hps healer in the game, considering how much more powerful their shields are in many situations than healing is in those same situations, but considering that it's among the highest HPS healers while also bringing that shielding, and several very strong cooldowns, it's really kind of weird. Atonement is also still hilarious on fights with damage modifiers,.
"Why make trillions when we could make... billions??"
i like how people keep thinking that the healer topping the meters is the best :>
Monks still win in night phase Tsulong for throughput by the way. I reach 150k+, haven't seen others sustain that. We also win day phase, 80mil healing to boss/phase. Thts about the only fight we win.
Holy paladins and disc are the two best healers. But no one thinks holy is nearly as good As it actually is. It's Absurd. Disc will be nerfed, and following monks, probably into the ground. So if you want to roll a healers pick holy paladins since they are always the best tank healer and are now competitive raid healers, while being loaded with tons of utility.
PS I'm a Monk and I outperform every class except disc priests in 25m H content which actually requires healing. Farm content aside, anyway.
In part due to my healing being instant so I end up sniping heals faster than other healer.
Note-able exceptions: Lei Shi, wind lord, feng (our disc could virtually solo heal the raid here), Gara'jal,
My opinions: 5.0 was the golden age of content, the ability prune barely did anything, and 6.2 is actually an enjoyable timesink.
Our Disc pulled 116k hps and 50k dps on our solo heal of Grand Emp.
Disc all day. It's not even close.
Squirlness@Drenden-US <Dsylxeic> 13/13M US#16 | We're Recruiting! | Twitch | RIP <Divinity>
Outside of Tsulong Disc Priests are strongest. On Tsulong Monks are strongest.
As with any class or role, it all really depends on who is behind the controls.
A true Patriot fights for their country, not for their government.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
I feel like the student and I got off to a good start. We spent the hour working through a few of his Physics problems on energy, work, force, and power. He struggled a little bit with remembering which of the chapter's equations were best suited for each problem, but this will improve with time. I also tried to explain some of the principles behind the problems, because students tend to better understand how to solve problems when they know why they are told to use such-and-such method in the first place. I am looking forward to working with him again next week.
Practiced integration by parts problems from assigned homework. After working through the problems, the student seems to have a solid understanding of both integration by parts and u-substitution integration techniques.
Today I helped the student prepare for his biology six weeks exam. I helped him prepare an outline from the text book.
Worked with the students on a variety of topics. Worked with Student 1 on helping to plan his course schedule for next year and on a project in History, and worked with Student 2 on another reading journal. Good session.
We concluded the ACT prep tutoring today by focusing on the essay-writing section and doing a quick review of writing multiple choice and reading. The student practiced identifying a position and creating a bubble map to lay out his argument. We discussed the different types of support he should use: reasons and evidence. He picked up the bubble map quickly. He should continue practicing with this technique and reviewing the other test sections and answer explanations. Great working with him!
Today was a getting to know you session, mostly talking about her approach to the ACT. We talked about strategy for the science section, and worked through some passages to apply it.
Today we played sight word bingo. The student also used five sight words in sentences. He then reread the Summer Olympics book. He also read stories from a Henry and Mudge book. We ended by reviewing on a homework sheet for school.
I gave the student a big list of vocab words because, and then we did some more sample problems, with a focus on word problems.
We discussed the student's upcoming schedule for the new school year, trying to organize his free time in a way that could be most productive. Additionally, we went over his essay that he has been working on over the summer to measure improvement.
The student and I worked on exercises where he had to choose whether to use the present tense of ser or estar. It was a great exercise that not only reiterated the scenarios in which each verb is used, but also helped in vocabulary building. Additionally, we reviewed adjectives and the change of adjectives determined by whether the noun is masculine or feminine or singular or plural.
The student and I reviewed the SAT Essay rubric, read a number of high-level essays with comments, and then proceeded to retime the essay times to "time-and-a-half." Based on these criteria, she wrote an essay in response to a prompt in the prep book.

Both alternates are virtual shoo-ins to get in this year, as U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson and Jason Day plan to withdraw because their wives are expecting.
Thompson held the first-round lead at this year's U.S. Open and eventually tied for second.
Thompson has five top-25 finishes this year (and 11 in the last two years) and has earned $1.2 million on the PGA Tour so far this season.
Pro-Am officials are currently looking for a replacement.
Kenny Perry is this year's Pro-Am headliner.
