I can't say enough good things about this product, I've tried alot of sprays and nothing has compared with Hit Nitz 4 6. I use the Daily Spray every day and my girls don't get nits anymore! I forgot one day and sure enough they came home with nits.It is gentle on their hair,it stays soft, makes it easier to plait (this also helps) and it has all natural ingredients. I reco (...)

Lice freeBy rachel.dalton.12 on 1/08/2012 11:01:27 PM
I have two children and have been battling with lice for the last 4 years, I hate to think of the money and time i have wasted on other products. It was so bad that I have been cutting my sons hair myself and my Daughter hasnt had a hair cut in 4 years as I was too ashamed to take them to hair dressers in case they might see headlice that i had missed.

I am so over the moon to have found a product that does exactly what it claims to do. I have even gone as far as handing the information to my childrens school.I tell everybody about this product,i am the happiest mum in the entire world.My kids love it they ask for the spray to be put in their hair every morning.

Nit Free !!!!By jktwebb on 24/05/2012 9:51:57 PM
What a fantastic product! I was going out of my mind trying to keep my two boys nit free, I tried every product on the shop shelves and yet they still came back. Every week I was doing nit treatments. Then after my eldest boy was refused a haircut after already doing 3 treatments on his hair in one week, I had had enough!!. I rung desperate one friday night and within 3 (...) Read more
It works!By jacinta.franich on 23/05/2012 2:01:33 PM
The product was fantastic - easy to use with no comb through. Kids are fine with the smell. The challenge is remembering to use the defence spray and my kids did get them again. However it is easy to rid them of the little critters again and again, just expensive!
Great ProductBy sherilene on 16/05/2012 7:59:32 PM
So far my boys like that they can leave it in and it doesn't have the strong horrible chemical smell. Hopefully I have finally found something that works after trying so many other products out with no success.
great speedy deliveryBy jennine.campbell on 16/05/2012 11:36:59 AM
We haven't used ours yet but wanted to stay prepared with some in the cupboard for if they decided to infest us. I feel ensured that the day we need to use it the hit nitz 46 will work. I was very happy with the great and speedy delivery and would recommend this product.
Miracle WorkerBy Teija on 16/05/2012 8:09:35 AM
This product has helped me no end. My son wants to have long "surfie" hair and we've struggled keeping the nits at bay to the point where I nearly forced him to cut it all off! I love the ease of just leaving the solution in and not having to comb it out, so did my son. Hopefully will not have to use it again with the daily spray, but would definitely recommend it other (...) Read more
HitNitz46By katiemarx1974 on 14/05/2012 9:38:09 PM
I was at my wits end after 5 months of headlice infestations and reinfestations in my two daughters. WE had tried product after product. Then I tried HitNitz46 in combination with a Robi comb and we haven't seen a louse since. Thank goodness there is something out there that actaully WORKS!

The bacon one is at least close in some regards. There does exists a Ba3N2 (the numbers used in this diagram) which is Barium Nitride.
If the middle numbers would have been C5O2 (instead of O12) then that would be Pentacarbon Dioxide.

Mathematica -another For loop problem
[This post has been delayed due to email problems - moderator]
I've got to manipulate some signed 12bit integer numbers from a file and
apparently Mathematica only handles 8 and 16 bit signed numbers
(probably for a very good reason). So I bring them in as 16 bits (and
they're stored that way with a leading zero nibble) and then I have to
do the following to make sense of them. I really don't know why this
code works but it does.
So to my question: once again I had to resort to a For loop to pull this
off and I know this is a no-no. But I'm so clueless about Mathematica
that I've never come up with a more sophisticated method after a year or
so of thinking about it. Can someone help (as they usually can)?
For[i = 1, i < Length[y], i++, If[y[[i]] > 2048, y[[i]] =
y[[i]] - 2048, y[[i]] = y[[i]] + 2048]];
Thanks, Rob

I have always loved my FP armor & it is amoung my most cherished things that i own. but there were some things about it that i felt needed dome changes. after ALOT of time looking at every detailed photo of the ESB chest armor i desided to modify my armor. I have currently only moded 3 of the 4 chest armor peices the next peice just needs the edges to be sharpened but the three that are in the raw white fiberglass have all had alot of reshaping to them. especialy the left (its on the right in the pics but its the left when its worn) chest plate. i ended up filling in both dents with bondo & reshaped them. the smaller dent is now a deep (way smaller) goudge instead of a real dent. the other dent is alittle bigger & has a really rough & deepness to it. i know the pics look like crap but its the best i could do for now. im pretty satisfyed with the left peice now. in adition to the dents i redid the slots for the lights and sanded the inner sides to a sharper edge. after looking at the ESB photos for a wile i felt they were of a much sharper shape on the edges thatn the ROTJ. the abdomen plates dents have also been reworked but not all that much. they are alittle bigger than they were before. the real thing im proud of with this peice is the slight bend inwards on the top left angle. if ya look hard at some of the pics it has an inward bend to it. this along with the next peices edges were also sharpened. & the final peice i have modifyed was the dimond. its shape has been pretty much been reworked completly so it has a sharper/longer end to it & the oposite side has a more blunt end to it. . ill be painting this set again once ive finnished moding the last peice. ive also aded a picture of what my armor looked like before i made these changes. ignor the sholder bells they are pretty much trash. they got broken in half before DC last year & are to far gone to fix.
so tell me what you guys think of the changes ive made. ill prolly get coments like ''what!? are you insane!? why would you do this to armor thats so hard to get!?'' or somthing along those lines
:fettesb you guys coming to the museum of science in boston will get to see this set close up. on the 10th

After decades of research and, more recently, advocacy, it probably isn't news to learn that the earth's climate is changing. Legions of scientists have documented a wide range of changes that can be directly and indirectly attributed to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases. These gases are heat trapping by-products of the combustion of fossil fuels. The question is, what does this global problem have to do with the Chesapeake Bay?
A new report from the Bay Program's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) examines this question. (Download the full report in PDF.) The report reflects the combined efforts of two coordinating editors and 11 contributing authors that represent more than a dozen organizations. The team concluded that climate change is more than a future threat to the Bay – it is an issue with immediate consequences for today's restoration and protection decisions. Climate change is likely to bring warmer air and warmer temperatures to the region, accelerate sea level rise, and potentially change seasonal precipitation patterns. These changes have the potential to exacerbate current stresses on the Bay ecosystem and complicate or potentially undermine restoration efforts.
For example, a changing climate may:
These changes mean that the Bay Program will need to anticipate and adapt to changing conditions to achieve its goals of protecting and restoring water quality and living resources. It is essential to recognize that the need to respond effectively to changing conditions is not a new requirement – it is an existing responsibility based on the Bay Program's mandates and authorities. This means that Bay Program partners can and should take immediate action to include consideration for climate change in important management and policy decisions.
The STAC team concluded the report with a number of specific recommendations for next steps for the Bay Program, including:
In other words, the Bay Program needs to make climate change someone's job and empower that individual to use existing authorities and resources to anticipate and prepare for changing climatic conditions. With this person in place, the Bay Program can begin to work with the STAC and other advisors and stakeholders to develop strategies to help protect and restore the Bay under changing conditions. At times, this will require focused research and development, and the Bay Program should help ensure that needs are clearly communicated and that resources are made available to support the work that needs to be done.
The bottom line of the report is clear: the Bay's climate is changing and this will have significant implications for the mission of the Bay Program and the future of the Chesapeake Bay. It is incumbent on the Bay Program to take action to anticipate and adapt to changing conditions to ensure that efforts to protect and restore the Bay will be successful under future conditions.
Last week, I volunteered with the National Aquarium in Baltimore for a day of shoreline buffer planting at the Naval Support Facility at Indian Head, located along the banks of the Potomac River in Maryland. Over the course of five days, Aquarium staff, the Maryland Conservation Corps, Charles County Master Gardeners and local residents planted over 5,000 native grass plants and 1,500 native trees along 4,830 feet of Potomac shoreline.
I'm pretty sure the trees I planted that day are among the most protected in the state of Maryland. After successfully passing through several security checks to enter the Naval facility, I met up with Aquarium staff at the marina. We then piled into vans and passed through yet another security checkpoint before entering what I was told was a highly restricted area of the base (think 'explosive deliveries' signs and mysterious steam hanging in the air). We soon arrived at the drop-off and scampered down a steep hill to our planting site along the Potomac River.
When I arrived at the site, I was given the job of ferrying plants from the center of the site to their new and permanent home along the shoreline. There were low, medium and high marsh plant species that had to be placed accordingly. After ferrying the plants to their new home, the planting brigade -- mostly Maryland Conservation Corps folks -- dug holes and planted the trees.
After a short lunch break, I informed those in charge that I wanted to participate in the planting so I could have a more well-rounded day of volunteering (and because ferrying the plants was a lot of walking!). Soon after I began planting, I truly realized how difficult it is to successfully plant a tree. For some holes I had to use a pick ax to get through the tough soil! After about three hours of planting, we had completed our section for the day and all the trees were securely in the ground.
I climbed back up to the top of the hill where I had been dropped off in the morning and looked down upon the section we had planted. It was amazing to see the sea of plants below me and the hard work of everyone volunteering that day. I'm curious to see what the site will look like in five, 10 and 20 years when the plants have established.
I especially enjoy these days of my job when I'm able to leave the office and experience watershed restoration first-hand. I walked away from that day with muddy boots, sore arms and a greater appreciation for ferrying plants.
I get a thrill whenever I see forests on equal billing with farm lands in the Chesapeake region. Especially when it comes to something BIG like carbon sequestration. Of course, one acre of forest land can sequester much more carbon than one acre of agricultural land -- 1-2 tons of carbon per acre per year for forest, compared to roughly 0.3-0.5 ton per acre per year for farmland. But when it comes to best management practices for water quality, and well, eating, agriculture is king.
Kudos to Delaware, which is now only 30% forested (the smallest percentage of forest for any of the six Bay states), to take on carbon for its champion role in the Chesapeake clean-up. When it comes to carbon, it's all about taking advantage of existing volunteer markets, such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the Chicago Climate Exchange, and potential regulatory markets in the United States' future
From a global perspective, the U.S. is playing catch-up with carbon. Our nation did not ratify Kyoto in 1997 when 84 other countries signed on. These countries are legally bound to reduce carbon emissions, with the average target being to reduce emissions by 5% below 1990 levels. Here in the U.S., the states have largely taken the leadership on reducing greenhouse gases, with some big regional programs such as RGGI, the Western Climate Initiative and the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord taking off. Last year, Congress got serious with the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, but it didn't pass. Both of the prospective new administrations have promised to enact climate legislation. Most likely only after the economy settles down -- I mean up. It's an exciting time for many who have talked for nearly two decades about the need.
Back to the symposium …
How will the markets actually reduce greenhouse gases? It's not shuffling money around. It has to do with being cost-effective, promoting innovation and, indirectly, better land use decisions. Big questions abound, however; like: will it work? The top six issues are certainty, baseline, leakage, permanence, additionality and double counting.
Once some of the issues start being resolved, there's great potential for forestry, since 80% of the forest land in this region is privately owned. The Bay Bank has moved from concept to design and will be up and running in fall 2009. The Bay Bank will facilitate both farm and forest landowner access to multiple ecosystem markets (not just carbon) and conservation programs through an easy-to-use online marketplace. Supporting aspects of the Bay Bank, such as the Spatial Lands Registry, will be up sooner. The Spatial Lands Registry is one of those tools that will help reduce issues such as certainty, baseline and permanence. When a tool does this, it also reduces the make-it or break-it transaction costs.
The all-important new regulations will determine the direction of these burgeoning markets. There need to be more drivers to direct more businesses and people to invest in carbon sequestering practices. The target reductions and rules need to be reasonable so a variety of private landowners can take part in the market and get a worthwhile return on their investment. The Delaware symposium is helping with the outreach and understanding that will be needed for any market to succeed.
What's good for carbon is good for water quality. Less cars, more forests and farms, better-managed farms and forests, and hopefully, hopefully, a postponement of sea level rise. That would be very good for the Chesapeake. For that matter, good for the world.
Some people might say that riding a train for 12 hours from Annapolis, Maryland, to Providence, Rhode Island, and back to attend a conference about our nation's valuable estuaries demonstrates real environmental dedication. Others might say, "Take the plane!" I, of course, traveled the route using the former method. Who needs to deal with extraneous baggage charges and cramped seating when you can pay the same amount to travel via train through the New England countryside and view the fantastic fall foliage, while also having ample time to catch up on that long-forgotten summer read? OK, in retrospect, I wish I took the plane. But no matter what mode of transportation, hundreds of participants from around the country gathered in Providence, Rhode Island, last week for the 4th biannual Restore America's Estuaries (RAE) Conference.
The four days of the conference were jam-packed with over 50 different sessions, workshops and plenary discussions pertaining to all things estuarine. Most of the sessions I attended were facilitated by organizations and speakers from outside the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Working here at the Bay Program, I often have a front-row view of how our partners are working to restore and protect our Bay. However, I felt by attending sessions led by, say, the Puget Sound Partnership or Save the Bay - Narragansett Bay, I might gain a different perspective on how to approach our efforts here in the Chesapeake Bay region.
This strategy worked! For example, while attending a session called "Creating Public and Political Will to Restore Our Coasts and Estuaries," I learned that the folks at People for Puget Sound developed a fun, comprehensive social marketing campaign called MudUp. Almost since its inception, MudUp has been a huge hit with the local community through convincing poster ads and an endearing Mud Monster mascot that attends all MudUp events. Hmm, if the Chesapeake Bay Program had a mascot, what would it be?
As a side note, Providence and nearby areas are real delights to visit. A few co-workers and I had some free time to visit Newport, which is just a must-see. The mansions and Cliff Walk are truly spectacular. Oh, and you can't leave Newport without a visit to Flo's Clam Shack; you would regret it if you didn't go and try their fish and chips -- so good!
All in all, my trip to Providence was extremely insightful (no matter how long the commute!), and I'm looking forward to the 5th biannual RAE Conference in Galveston, Texas, in 2010!

Living with type 1 diabetes isn't easy. Diabetes management requires a lot of time and effort, especially in the beginning.
Diabetes can affect your emotions both directly and indirectly. Poorly controlled blood sugar can directly affect your emotions by causing behavior changes, such as irritability. Diabetes may also make you feel different from other people. And there may be times you feel resentful that you always have to incorporate diabetes planning in everything you do.
People with diabetes have an increased risk of depression and diabetes-related distress, which may be why many diabetes specialists regularly include a social worker or psychologist as part of their diabetes care team.
You may find that talking to other people with type 1 diabetes is helpful. Support groups are available both online and in person. Support groups aren't for everyone, but they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences or helpful information, such as where to find carbohydrate counts for your favorite takeout restaurant.
If you're interested in a support group, your doctor may be able to recommend one in your area. Or you can visit the websites of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) for support group information and to check out local activities for people with type 1 diabetes. You can also reach the ADA at 800-DIABETES (800-342-2383) or JDRF at 800-533-CURE (800-533-2873).

I met with a guy last night at a local shop that does body, paint and mechanical and specializes in classics and hot rods. About 40 years old and what a nice guy. He took two hours of his time last night to walk me through his shop, show me his portfolio and give me some rough estimates and plans. Night and day compared to the other jerk. He's a perfectionist and is willing to work with me. LOVES classics and seemed eager to work on my car. If I had my own space and the money, I'd try to do a lot of this myself, and I do what I can. Tomorrow I'm painting all the accessory engine parts.
|Sounds like it's time to look for a place with a garage, not another shop! Considering what you're paying in repairs, you could probably find a place with a garage and do the work yourself.
Good on you for listening to the guys on this board. I'm sure when you're driving your car about this time next year and he's closing his doors due to word of mouth, he'll know what's up.

LOL, my brother had a guy ok everything over the phone and he didn't record it on the work order. The guy came in to pick up the car and looked at the work order seeing that there was no record of his call and refused to pay. He got the job for free.
The consumer is ALWAYS right in California.
But there is also the old rule when in war, and I live by it, "Is this the hill you want to die on?" Paying the jerk a few extra bucks and getting the hell out of there to enjoy your life makes more sense to me than fighting over $50.
question for the more experienced business owners:
at what point should the District Attorney get involved? I know California and New York have some pretty hefty penalties for taking advantage of consumers. i should think screwing with the books, billing for mechanics tools, doing work thats not on the work order, and essentially holding the vehicle hostage...not to mention at least one comment that could be construed as a threat....
I forgot to comment on that! What an asinine idea to make him pay for a tool you broke? HUH?
Joe; you realize the owner has been sidestepping people a long time when he seems this adept.
Perhaps you can post a big city near you, and some of us can tap some people on the shoulder and see if we can find you something suitable. By the way, when the fellas here say 'tow truck' they mean get a 'rollback' or flatbed.
Document all this; in case it becomes a legal matter. I'd also like to point out, unless I need a special tool for a special job- like specific helical guides for cutting gears - (we do a lot of custom work and prototyping here) thats NOT factored into your cost as a consumer. So what? every schlub who breaks a 3/8" ratchet gets to bill the customer for Snap-On and go buy Harbor Freight. Run; don't walk my friend.
1)It's true, it was Friday and he could've been behind, but he's consistently pushed me off over and over again telling me it would be worked on this day and that day only to have it pushed again...Or the time he told me to come down, then when I got there, says "I'm going to get my haircut. Be back in a little." letting me wait 45 minutes. I made sure to ask "Are you sure Friday is safe?" He said "Yes, just show up in the morning," which I did, got told to come back 3 hours later, I do that and then he tells me to come back Monday. I lost money from taking the day off, still tried to be understanding and told him I'll come back on Monday. That didn't stop him from being a jerk.
2) People have bad days, but disrespecting my time on several occasions sounds like many bad days to me.
3 & 4) If someone won't let me document a restoration, I'm not going to take my business there. That was one of the things I was upfront about. Besides, it's free publicity for them when I post the photos on the restoration website. I don't think they do shotty work. They do a good job. Dealing with the attitude and lack of respect is another thing. The mechanic working on my car is A-class, but the owner thinks he's hot stuff. Maybe he is in the locality.
They're not charging me storage, but they are also not waiting on me either. I've been ready to go, but they have been the ones stalling or working on other stuff, waiting on the engine to come back from the machine shop THEY recommended. I don't feel like they're doing me any favors keeping my car in their lot.
There have been other occasions where he was rude, including when they were dismantling the engine to see it's condition. They told me they'd fit in at some point during the week and I told him to please call me when they start working on it so I can come in since the time was rather vague. No, instead he calls me at the week's end, mad on the phone and says "Where were you? You should've been here today. I could've used an extra set of hands. You were supposed to be here." I replied "I didn't know what day you were going to work on my car. You never told me." He then said "Anyways...." and continued.
As for today's events...I wanted to pull my car out, but there a few circumstances that made that tough. For one, I live in an apartment complex and they don't allow unregistered vehicles or projects on the property due to limited space. The garage I had thought about towing it to told me they won't touch something that some other shop has had their hands in and try to finish it off because they don't want the liability. In essence, I need time to find a place to have it towed to and at 8am this morning when I was supposed to be at this garage, I wasn't going to have such luck.
When I got there my car was already on the lift and the owner came out and started working on it promptly at 8am. I figured well, I'll let them get this done because it was scheduled then that will be it. He was using a blow torch to loosen the bolts holding the gas tank on with gas still in the tank, which threw a few thoughts across my mind as I stood WAAAAY back. He turns to me and says "Won't find too many people crazy enough to do that will you?"
The other mechanic came in and started working on removing the power brake booster and master cylinder and had a darned time getting the nut off which was behind the steering column and required a special wrench they didn't have.
About 2 hours into the job, the owner comes over to me and asks if I'd do him a favor and follow his son across town to the shop that does alignments (for another customer's truck) so that I could give him a ride back to the garage and they could keep working on my car. I agreed.
When I got back, it was 11am and they were pretty much done with the removal and the owner said "I'm going to bill you for 3 hours. By the way, I broke a $40 tool trying to pry that thing off." Meanwhile, the mechanic was still toying around with removing the brake vacuum reserve tank, which I didn't need done at that time, nor had I requested. When I get into the office, the owner says "Well, now it's more like 3 1/2 hours." He took ten dollars off the hourly rate but still charged me tax and insisted I pay in cash, which rings a few bells. No concessions for the fact that I told him I lost work Friday when he told me to come in and then pushed me off, nor for doing him a favor driving his son. Not that I expected it, but still.
We stepped outside and rolled the car back into place and the owner says "You're bringing her back to life. Might not be much now, but you'll be proud when you're done. Like I said, you took what I said the other day to heart." I replied "Well, what offended me more was the phone call where you told me to 'man-up' and accused me of throwing a baby-fit." He says to me "Well, I don't pull any punches. I tell it the way it is." All that did was fuel me back up. I said "I tell it the way it is too." He interrupts me and says "Sometimes that can be a good thing and sometimes not." Before I had a chance to go on further, he said he had to get back to work, shook my hand and walked away.
For a few moments I began to think maybe we could make this work and I tried to keep an open mind. The last ten minutes I was there changed all that. I'm now looking for a shop that would be willing to take it in. I'll gladly pay a storage fee to any place, so long as they are respectable, but I can't have it towed with no place to go. I feel like the older generation seems to be a little more on top of proper business etiquette than the younger generation, including my own, who seem to have big egos and a lot of attitude. It's disappointing. I'm not looking to get into a p__sing match with him because nothing I say is going to change his attitude. He's right. I'm wrong. Doesn't matter if I'm the customer or not. Overall, the quality of their work is good - but at what cost?
On the hourly labor, unfortunately we have to honor the hourly rate we give one particular insurance company to their insured even when it's a cash deal. That rate is $13 less per hour than our "gate rate". So we do it between the insurance company and cash jobs probably 35-50% of our jobs! It's a killer but that is the sort of thing you need to do in business. We are talking about 3.5 million$ a year so we are working in big volume.
Huh ???
When an AVERAGE (not all) body shop tells you they will lower the hourly rate by $10.00 per hour,that is B--- S---,they can just add (and a LOT of them do) a couple of hours to make up that $10.00 discount.i like to use the local 1 or 2 man shops that have a good reputation,ask around,there are many of them,i would take 3 or 4 of my buddies,and a wrecker and go pick up my car,that guy is an A-- H---,
Here's an article I wrote on the subject years ago.

Confessions of a body shop owner.
By Brian Martin
Anybody know of a good body shop in (enter your city name here)?, How do I get my body shop to work on my car?, My car is being held for ransom!, or just simply Body shop Blues. Im sure you have all seen topics similar to these posted. Gentlemen, my name is MARTINSR and I was one of those dirty rotten bastards that would keep your car ten times longer than I promised.
For the guy not doing his own body work or at least not all of it, he is at the mercy of the body shop. It is not a nice position to be in. In fact, it can go down as one of the low points in your life. I have seen horror stories that would make your hair stand on end. A long time customer of mine (he owned about 60 cars and usually had a few in shops around the area at all times) had a car that was held as evidence in a murder. Yep, it had blood splattered on it when one of the shops owners killed the other with a baseball bat!
The following is my generalization of restoration shops that I have owned, seen or worked at. There are exceptions to the rule. Please dont beat me up if I have rolled your shop into the mix when you are an exception. But, if you do see yourself, I suggest you get down to your neighborhood junior college and take a course or two in business. One of the great myths is that we each think our business is so unique, we cant learn from a regular business class. Well after much instruction and exposure to the business side of things I can tell you, business is BUSINESS. Whether you are running a liqueur store, a cat house, or a body shop, they are all exactly the same. Sales are SALES, period.
So, we can agree a body shop is a business, being a good body man does not make you a good businessman. Restoration shops are usually owned by good body men, not good businessmen. It is very hard to make money doing restoration work, it is very easy to make money doing regular collision work. The business man makes his money doing collision work and tells all the customers with restoration work to go to Joes Body shop down the street, he does the restorations. Joe loves doing what he is doing, but seldom makes much money. He is an artist, a true master at his craft. Joe sees things at what they can become, not what they are. When Joe sees a car he doesnt see the time it will take to make it the show winner he knows it will be, he only sees it as the show winner. I really dont believe he means to lie to you when he says it will be done in a month, he is looking at through rose colored glasses, his vision is altered. Like a woman forgets the pain of giving birth, so does Joe when he gazes upon the beautiful car he has carried for nine months (or longer). And when the next rust bucket rolls in, he has forgotten about the hundreds of hours needed, he only sees a luscious rose garden.
Like I said few make a living at restoration or hot rod work. The biggies that you have heard of like Roy Brizio or Boyd Codington all make money with other ventures, not the rod shop. The first time I visited Brizios shop this was very apparent. The rod shop is about 5000 square feet sitting in the middle of a 50,000 square foot building. The rest of the building is Brizios manufacturing business. It is all non auto related by the way. The rod shop is a hobby, I dont doubt for a second he makes money, but it is a hobby none the less.
So when you go looking for a shop to do your car you have to remember this, you are most likely going to be dealing with an artist. If you think the business end of it is going to go smooth, think again. If you build yourself up and believe everything, you are in for a BIG let down. If you set yourself up for less than that you will be much better off. I suggest getting ready for MUCH, MUCH less and then you will be happy when it only takes five months instead of the ten you got ready for. If he said one month and that is what you are planning, by the time five months rolls around you are ready to kill someone.
These are HUGE generalizations but I have found a few signs that may help you in picking out a shop. If nothing else they will help you understand who you are dealing with.
1. If there is more than one car sitting in the shop covered with dust, this may be a bad sign. If you have been around body shops much you know that dust build up is like the rings in a tree, you can tell by the layers and colors how many YEARS it has been sitting. If there is a car that is being used for storage of misc. boxes and things, bad sign. My brother used to joke that I should bolt a vice on the fender of the car, at least I could get some use out of it! Coyly ask Cool car, is that yours? if he says Naw, its a customers, BAD SIGN. If there are ten stalls in the shop and six have dust covered cars in them, RUN. I shouldnt have to tell you this one, but if there are guys hanging around with beers in their hands, RUN.
2. How many stalls does he have? I have found that the real restoration/rod shops seem to have only room to have three or four cars at a time. If you only had room to work on three cars, you are going to be damn certain they get out so you can have room for the next. One of the most successful custom shops I have ever seen was a little four stall shop in Pittsburgh California. It is the famous (well at least on the west coast) DeRosa and son Customs. Frank has been around since the fifties making show winning cars. He and his son Frank Jr. do the same today and do it FAST. They a neat, little and clean shop. If you have seen the 2001 DuPont calendar they did the Cadster. It was only in the shop for a few weeks. By the way, it doesnt have DuPont primers on it like the calendar says, Martin Senour primer was used.
3. Does he look at your car like they do at the McPaint shops, you know, all jobs all colors the same price? If he doesnt take a good long look at the car taking notes, he has no clue what he is doing. He is looking at the car with those rose colored glasses. Every single panel should be examined and noted for the amount of hours needed. If he just looks over the car without doing this he is surely going to be WAY off. If he is way off on how much he is charging you, what incentive does he have to work on it?
So lets say you have a shop you would like to bring it to, you really need to case the joint. Turn into a stalker and keep an eye on the shop. You know for months that you are going to need a body shop. Watch the shops for months. Drive by during business hours and see if they are actually open. Many of these guys (remember they are not good businessmen) take their open sign as sort of a guide line. If it says 8:00 to 5:00 it is more like 9:15 to 2:00 then 4:25 to 7:00, they cant get your car done like that. See if any cars leave. If you go by there and see the same cars sitting there and many little jobs going in and out, BAD SIGN. I have to tell you, those little money making collision jobs are dang hard to turn away. If I had a million hour job sitting there and it was the 28th of the month I am going to set it aside for the $800.00 job I can do in two days to pay the rent.
If they dont allow you to walk around and check the place out, be wary. Look at the paint dept, does he have a booth? Is there junk and open cans all over? Is there many different brands of paint? This is usually not a good sign, he buys anything he can get his hands on. This is many times the sign of a junior chemist, they guy that mixes products and doesnt follow tech sheets.
If you have decided that this is the shop you want to go to, help the poor guy. You suggest to him how you want to go about the money part. This is the ONLY way you should do it believe me. Dont give him a deposit and leave the car. This is darn near a guarantee that your car will be sitting for weeks while he uses that money to buy parts for a high profit collision job or simply pay a long standing bill. Which then leaves your car sitting there with no incentive to work on it.
Here is what you need to do. Tell him that you want to do only ONE of the things on your car, at a time. You want to get a price for all of them maybe so you know what it is headed, but do only one at a time. You will pay him for one step at a time. Not because you dont trust him, but because YOU are bad with money and that YOU dont want to leave him hanging after the car is done with no money to pick it up.
This way it is more like he is in control and made the decision. Then you negotiate the time it will take for each step. Lets say you have patch panels to do on the front fenders. You agree that he will have them done at the end of the week, and that they will cost $200.00. He has something to work for, he knows he will get the money and he actually does it. You go see him on Friday see the work done and give him the $200.00. Then you pick another thing to do. Just as if you were doing these things at home, break them down into bite sized pieces so he can swallow them. If you go in there and find that he hasnt done it or he has done poor work, you can then say I am sorry to yank your chain, I dont have any more money, I just lost my job and take the car, no body owes a thing. If he does not want to do this, you really need to start rethinking your choice of a shop. Either this or variation of this should be fine with him. If it is not, something is wrong.
If he really wanted to make money he would be doing this. The first restoration job I ever did where I really felt I made money was done just this way. It was a little 58 Bug eye Sprite. I had decided that something had to be done or I would fall into the same trap as before with a car sitting forever. One of the first shops I ever worked at was a full on restoration shop. It broke the rule and was pretty big, with four full time employees. Every car had a time card assigned to it. When you worked on the car, you punched in. Then each month (these were HUGE frame off restorations on 30s and 40s vintage Fords) the owner would receive a bill with the times worked. If they couldnt pay, the car left, period. The guy made money and I finally got smart (after about 12 years in business) and followed his lead. I put a sign on this Bug Eye and would post the hours I spent on it. I told the guy to come by each week. Now, when the guy came in and saw only two hours were spent, he was not very happy. That was a heck of an incentive for me right there I will tell you that! It worked great, I actually got paid for every minute I worked, unlike most restoration projects. And he actually got the car back in close to what I said. It was still late, but not ten times as late as I had done before.
Another thing I highly recommend is to take plenty of photos of the car, really detailed photos. When you drop the car off leave him a copy of them. Letting him know you have a copy. Not threatening like I am doing this so I can prove you lied to me more like I cant wait to see how different it is and you can have these before shots to show future customers. Which is true, it is just not the only reason you are doing it. If he is doing a full on restoration for you, I HIGHLY recommend parts like chrome and interior be taken home after he removes them so they dont get stolen or damaged. You need to have a very close relationship with the shop, if these visits make the guy edgy, you really need to find another shop.
If you have the attitude that you are genuinely interested in how this work is done, not how he will do YOUR car, but just in general. You will find that he will be much more likely to show off his talents than if you go in there like an untrusting customer.
Along with these photos you want a VERY detailed work order. Run like the wind if he has no work order. Still run if he has a work order that says fix dents and rust as the repairs being done. RUN, I say. You need to have a fully detailed work order, not for legal reasons (wink, wink) but for your own records to show the wife where all the money went. The wife is a great way to get things done. You need to come look to see what is done because the wife wants to see. Bring her in there, she has an excuse, she knows nothing right? So you bring her in to see what magic this guy is doing to your car so she can understand why it costs so much. Bring a friend when you drop the car off, be sure he hears everything that is said. Let him or her help you make the decision on leaving it there. Sometimes YOU too can be looking through rose colored glasses. If someone else says they have a bad feeling, LISTEN to them.
There are few things that can compare with returning to a shop to find the place is locked tight and the mail is piling up on the floor where the carrier has dropped it through the slot. I have seen it, it really happens. The good news is it is rare, just take your time and find a shop where you feel comfortable.
I have been doing this a long time and I have seen both sides. I have a customer who has some mental problems and is VERY annoying. He comes by and calls over and over while the car is at the shop, weeks before and weeks after. He calls over and over with very stupid questions. But you know what, HE IS PAYING MY HOUSE PAYMENT and putting food on my families table, so I treat him with respect and SUCK IT UP. He is a wonderful guy who has some issues, I will take the time in my life to deal with those issues.
Businessmen who are "too busy" on a friday don't know how to schedule and are thus bad businessmen. I have been there, I have been a bad businessman, I know the routine. But every circumstance is a little different and we don't know a lot and we have given advice when we should get answers to the questions you have asked. But on the same note, red flags are red flags, how long do you wait?
Would I let someone document the work, GOD YES! First off, it's their right, there is NOTHING I could say other than YES, come on in! Do I encourage it, YES.
|Bottome line is some people just don't care my brother got messed around the same way kinda but he lost his 74 Pontiac Formula reason being to owner ofthe shop went to prison so when my brother found out about it they moved and his car was nowhere to be found he lost all sorts of new parts he quarter panels, doors, fenders, bumpers, and so on the only thing he kept was the motor and that's because he picked it up to work on it oh the car was a 4 speed with a rear dics brake set up.

Oh sorry oops it's the yucca root capsule Attachment 24099
Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App
What is it
Photo is deleted, in my e-mail says yucca root - is it suppliment (capsules) or dried root powder?
|I just received this in the mail, there are no instructions how to take it, gatorbytes any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
How about using a motorized scooter to excercise the dog? I got one but it is not so good on hills so I have not done much with it but if you are on a flat area .......
I know bikes can be hard on the knees but for this you just sit.
I hope I am not asking to much but can someone here expalain what my MRI and X-ray mean? The doctors are saying that my case is mild, but why am i in SO MUCH pain?! this is my LEFT knee Tnank you...
The medial meniscus is intact, there is intrameniscal signal indentified within medial meniscus but it doesn't reach articular surface.The lateral meniscus is intact, no evidence of stress edema within the lateral compartment. The anterior and posterior cruciatgge ligaments are intact. The articular cartliga overlying the patella is normal. The trochlear cartilage is normal. There is mild lateral patellar titlt.There is minor edema within the patellar fat pad superiorly. The extensor machanism is intact. There is minimal joint effusion present.There is small popliteal cyst preset.
No evidence of acute meniscal, cruciate or collateral liagament injury. Mild lateral patellar tilt present. No significant patellofemoral chondromalacia seen however. Minor edema within infrapatellar fat pad identified laterally, please correlate for dynamnic patellar tracking abnormalities. Small popliteal cyst.
There is no fracture or dislocation, the articular surfaces are well maintained. There is no joint space narrowing.The findings do not suggesting knee effusion. There is a mild widening of the proixmal metadiaphysis of the left fibula suggesting possible old injury.
With so many options on herbs I don't even know what to start trying first. I do have a bone spur in my right knee (where nerve pain is) and my left knee feels like something is stuck there,they said I have a small cyst... I bought this cream like a year ago and just now started using it just to see
I do agree diet is important I watched in documentary about people in mediterranean region eat a lot of olive oil which is very good at reducing inflamation, has anyone in US tried it and how much of it to eat/drink.? I also took nutrition class and I was just amazed at what processed food can do to our health..anyway At this point I will try anything...
I have not even heard of dog treadmill before, I have a treadmill in the house can she use that?Is it safe for them?
I would say to start off slow, and use treats to help her get the idea that she should stay on and keep walking. Also, keep the emergency shut off thing in hand in case she starts slowing down. Wouldn't want her tossed off the back end, lol.

POOR THING!!! I can only imagine how much pain you are in.... I don't know how change of season can trigger pain so much! My husband has bad migranes mostly in winter season...What do you do to help with pain?
When they hurt too badly to ignore, i:
Take tylenol/ibuprofen
Alternate an ice pack and heating pad
Put on my knee brace
Walk backwards ( strange but sometimes helps)
Take a warm bath with a few drops of natural oils in the water
Massage the knees gently for half an hour
Do random exercises from PT
Bend then straighten my knee slowly to make sure my kneecap is in the proper place
Put icy hot on it
stand in front of a fire or heater
|Well this will make me sound like a crazy pill popper, but I have two horrendous knees and could barely walk for a good 2 years. Something broke in the one knee and never healed right so it acted up all the time to the point where I would try to stand up, get a shot of pain up my leg and fall over. There was a lot of bone on bone action where there definitely should not be. I expected to be in bad shape when I got older, but not at 26! Painkillers didn't work for me at all. In the spring I started taking capsules of ground cloves, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, turmeric, glucosamine, MSM, apple cider vinegar and a few other "joint" things as well as lots of fish and avacados. I also took gluten and most sugar out of my diet (though that is really tough to do). Took a few months but I'm amazed how much pain in my body I was living with, now that a lot of it is gone. My knee is feeling pretty great and I can walk and even run around a little without feeling like I always have to protect it by setting my foot down on the ground just right. I can get out of a car, bed or chair without worrying how my leg is bent. Its just an idea. None of this stuff is bad for you, though some of it might upset your tummy for a week or so. So sorry you've got to deal with the pain. You would think by now humans would have developed better knees...and spines!
Thank you so much everyone for all your responses, I have done PT for the last 2 years it barely helps, surgery not an option for me, medical marijuana is not an option either. My problem is genetic, both my younger sisters have it as well. I might look into custom orthodics after the holidays I heard they run $400 and up... I tried other inserts I think they made everything worse, I also had plantar fasciatis, thank God it resolved now after like a year and half or so... I also have nerve pain from my foot all the way to my hip especially when it rains. I am so tired of being in pain...
I have not even heard of dog treadmill before, I have a treadmill in the house can she use that?Is it safe for them? I agree that training wears them out even more than physical activity how surprising is that?! Gatorbytes I will try one of the herbs you suggested if assuming they are for pain relief. I come from a small villlage and a lot of people there use natural remedies to fight diseases.
Wobenyzme is something you take away from food and has been used in millions of people...but not instant and sometimes you have to start with large doses and as you start feeling better taper back - but in acute flair ups you can amp up the dose. I used this for my dog when he first injured himself - I don't use anymore - but did for about a year (the bone stock has been so effective haven't needed) - used the human one - there is a "fido" version but has red dye...anyhow, when he has little flair ups, or overdoes it chasing squirrels and he slows on way home or looks in pain, I will stick a couple down his throat after his walk....by eve walk he's good to go.
eating pineapple fresh only (not frozen or canned) is supposed to smooth out boney spurs - 1/2 cup per day
Anti-inflamm diet is hugely important, as well as exercise to strengthen surrounding tissues for support.
You can also do after the fact - castor oil heat packs - l/u online how to do, supposed to be very effective for pain

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|As others said, cover the gaps between fan/shroud and radiator so all air pulled by fan comes through the radiator, not around it. 1/2" gap between condenser and radiator should be fine.
|Roger Mabry
Use hard AC foam from Lowes to fill holes
I used metal pieces screwed around the radiator sides to block the air from
bypassing the radiator.
Then used 2" foam from Lowe's to fill the gap at the top of the condenser
and around the sides not filled by the metal pieces.
Works great and car run cool in heavy So Cal stop and go traffic with the
AC on!
See the before and after pictures - lightish gray foam is installed in these pictures.
|The older Nissan Path Finder uses rubber flaps to seal the edges of the rad.These are very easy to install and fit easily.The idea is to make all the air go through the rads and not past them on the sides.The rad support had a big gap on the sides and when A/C was installed it needed sealing in the gap area. The last a/c I installed in path finders was back in the early 90s,not sure how much they changed.
Rad/Condensor/E Fan & Shroud Distance OK?
I am currently installing a Classic Auto Air a/c system and electric fans in my '65 El Camino with a 350 and TH350 combo. It has a brand new 3 core radiator repro to OEM specs.
The a/c condensor:
The condensor has a gap between it and the radiator of about 1/2". There is no way to get around this as the core support opening doesn't allow for the condensor to butt up against the radiator. Is this okay? The condensor covers about 90% of the radiator surface so I believe I have good coverage there. But I worry that the 1/2" gap may cause the air not to flow good thru it and then thru the radiator. Should I build some kind of flaps to run along the sides to cover this gap? Or is it okay and I shouldn't worry about it?
The electric fans:
I've purchased a Spal dual 11" electric fans that cover all but about 1/4" along the bottom of the radiator. I think this should be good enough, better than most fans I see installed. But in order to get it mounted to the stock radiator flange (the '65 rads have double flanges, one side to mount to the core support and the other side to mount the stock shourd) it leaves a 1/4" gap along the top and bottom between the fan shroud and the radiator core. Also when mounted, the fans blades are about 1" from the rad core.
First, is the 1" distance between the fans and the core fine? The fans are in a shroud (its the Spal 30102052 fans). Next, does the 1/4" gap along the top and bottom need to be covered up? I was hoping I wouldn't need to add too much fab work and not have a clean looking set-up. But, of course I want it to work the best cause of the hellish AZ heat and the a/c running almost all the time.
Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance for your help.

Green Bay Beats Butler, Advances to Horizon League Championship
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
INDIANAPOLIS (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The second-seeded Green Bay men's tennis team picked up a 4-1 victory over No. 6 Butler Saturday afternoon in the semifinals of the Horizon League Championships at Indianapolis Racquet Club East. The Phoenix advances to the conference title match for the second consecutive season and will face fourth-seeded Cleveland State on Sunday in a rematch of last year's championship.
After dropping the doubles point to start the day the Phoenix bounced back quickly and closed out the Bulldogs with straight-set victories in the top four singles spots.
Green Bay's three all-league picks came through with wins on Saturday, as first-teamers Paul Swanson (Coon Rapids, Minn.) and Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) won at the top two spots, while second-team selection Erik Finkenbrink (Duelman, Germany) secured the match-clinching point at No. 3.
Junior Craig Cox (Surrey England) also notched a win for the Phoenix, knotting the score at 1-1 with his 6-0, 6-4 victory against Butler's Pulok Bhattacharya at No. 4. Green Bay took the lead with Tenzer's 6-4, 6-0 rout of Tommy Marx at the No. 2 spot, and Swanson's 6-1, 7-5 win over fellow first-teamer and Horizon League Newcomer of the Year Austin Woldmoe at No. 1 extended the margin to 3-1.
The match ended when Finkenbrink was able to put away Zach Ervin 6-3, 6-4 at No. 3, sending Green Bay to the Horizon League title match for the fifth time in school history.
Green Bay and Cleveland State will square off at 12:30 p.m. CT on Sunday at the Barbara Wynne Tennis Center on the campus of North Central High School in Indianapolis. The Vikings, who defeated top-seeded Wright State 4-0 on Saturday, are looking for their fifth consecutive conference crown, while the Phoenix is aiming for its first championship. Cleveland State defeated Green Bay 4-1 in last year's final.
The Phoenix took the regular season meeting between the two schools, picking up a 5-2 win on April 7 in Cleveland.
Sunday's Horizon League Championship match will be carried live on the Horizon League Network.

By the time you leave for your quest you should be in the system. I emailed the DNR inquiring about my boat registration and hull tags in the spring for a fishing trip. They send me an email with the registration numbers I'd be getting with IDNR contact information if I were to grt stopped. I'm told ( I don't have proof) that Illinois is out sourcing watercraft applications to Tennessee because of the demand and lack of state personnel.
Funny, I just bought a new boat for hunting and picked up a trailer from a guy from AR. I had my Illinois title in 6 weeks and got my tag today.
Good luck and take care.

Arsène Wenger was full of praise for Mikel Arteta after the midfielder's brace of penalties secured a vital win against West Brom on Saturday.
After missing from 12 yards against Fulham in November, Arteta kept his composure to score from the spot in either half against the Baggies as Arsenal won for the first time in four Premier League games.
Wenger hopes the win can galvanise his team's season, and says he was impressed the character displayed by the Spaniard.
"When you miss a penalty in the last minute of a game and you come back and you take two, you can only take your hat off," he said.
"It is not easy to do what he did. It's funny because the keeper thought he had missed one on his right, so next time [went to] his left and he [Arteta] put it in the middle twice. It demands some nerves. He could be a good poker player.
"He is a winner. He is ready to fight to win. In the game, he shows that as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Century receivers are very poor quality.
DSA takes upwards of 8-9 weeks for them to deliver. A buddy of mine waited and finally got his DSA receivers and they were very high quality receivers he loves them.
I have 4 DCI receivers and all went together perfectly and they are very high quality fit and finish.
I would stick with DSA or DCI....if you want Imbel receiver gunbroker is your best bet...

Three Big Questions | Gender Wars, Rehab and Backpackers
Jun 14, 2013 , 3:05 PM by Mick Murdoch
"I gave up alcohol about ten years ago after drinking very heavily and a mandatory rehabilitation process where mandatory means - you must, you will obey, I command you to get better - just doesn't work." Local Artist, Therese Ritchie speaking with Kate O'Toole on Three Big Questions.
Therese teamed up with Plaxy Purich (Former Deputy President, Litchfield Council) and Damien Ryan (Alice Springs Mayor) to discuss the big issues of the week that included the NT Government's changes to mandatory alcohol rehabilitation, ideas to help the City of Darwin find solutions to the perennial issue of backpackers camping illegally and the big ticket issue of the week - offensive menu items offering Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail.

Where exactly are you talking about? cause I have ground from Salina to Concordia, and drive up to Jamestown often and im not seeing that. There isn't a river up there that hasn't came up a lot this year. Not like what is down at Salina but Jamestown is flooded, the republican has been high more than once, glen is up, lovewell is up and actually releasing water, the smoky is high, milford is up, about the only lake that is not up is Webster still 20 ft low, but not exactly "central"

Computing Systems and Desktop Support (CSDS) strives to provide each user with a computer and the software necessary to get his or her job done. In the current environment of desktop systems, this means most users' needs can be met with a basic system. However, we recognize that some users require more or different features. We will work with you to try to meet your needs within budgetary constraints.
While we can define basic needs on a broad campus level, individual or particular needs are something to be determined (and perhaps funded) on a case-by-case basis, in conjunction with the appropriate chair or dean.
The replacement cycle is effectively 4-5 years, but it's informed by other factors beside age. Our current process is as follows:
Computers are now placed for faculty and staff based on the following three criteria:
NOTE: Our ability to keep accurate records and therefore make timely and effective decisions about upgrades and placements hinges on the cooperation of all users. Specifically, we need all users to log into the network every time they restart their machines. If a user skips the login screen on restart, we will not be able gather data about their systems that we use to make upgrade decisions. In addition, failing to login will also defeat measures designed to keep virus protection up to date. Users who feel they have a good reason not to login must then accept responsibility for reporting data to CMS and for keeping virus protection up to date on their machines.
CSDS does not provide personal printing devices. Users are encouraged to make use of centralized secure printing on departmental copiers. Each user is given a mailbox and pin number to be used to retrieve prints jobs on the copier equipment. Most departments also have at least one networked B/W laser printer to be used as a backup in times of heavy copy/print volume or in the event of a copier failure.

text: MCLC The goal of the ATCC-MCLC cell bank is to supply investigators in the lymphoma research community with well-characterized, consistent and uncontaminated cell lines ATCC Mantle Cell Lymphoma Cell Consortium (ATCC-MCLC) is intended to serve as a resource for researchers interested in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The goal of the ATCC-MCLC cell bank is to supply investigators in the lymphoma research community with well-characterized, consistent and uncontaminated cell lines for research use. Established in 2006, the ATCC-MCLC collection is the result of a contract awarded to ATCC by the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) to establish a cell bank to serve the mantle cell lymphoma research community. The MCLC was formed in January 2005 by the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) and is composed of over 85 laboratory and clinical scientists in North America and Europe who share lymphoma as their research focus. Because MCL is a rare form of lymphoma, it has not received as much research attention as some other forms of cancer. The formation of the consortium is in part a response to that situation. The goal of the MCL Consortium is to identify effective and curative treatment strategies for mantle cell lymphoma. The Consortium enables collaboration, sharing of information, and sharing of laboratory resources, while it also takes action to support MCL researchers such as developing this Cell Bank in partnership with ATCC, producing an annual MCL Workshop, raising funds to support special grants and multi-institutional recruitment for clinical trials. In 2003, the LRF began funding research grants investigating mantle cell lymphoma, which is diagnosed in around 3000 persons annually in the U.S. Currently, LRF is the largest non-governmental funder of MCL research in the world. LRF's Mantle Cell Lymphoma Initiative and the MCL Consortium's activities have been supported with $21 million dollars as of January 5, 2007. LRF expects to fund additional research grants in 2007. For more information about the MCL Consortium, visit: www.mantlecelllymphoma.org. Materials for Research The ATCC-MCLC cell bank has begun accessioning items for the collection and, over the next few years, plans to accession a complete collection of available MCL cell lines for distribution to cancer researchers. As cell lines in this collection become available they will be added to the website. These materials are incorporated into ATCC's comprehensive online catalog. Principal Investigator: Dr. Yvonne Reid Funding Agency: National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute
