Co-creator and writer of T-Bag, and writer and producer of The Tomorrow People joined us for Cult TV 2007 courtesy of Fantom Films ...
Grant was born in Motherwell, Scotland. His first important achievement came at the age of 18 when he co-wrote, produced and directed an epic-scale period fantasy film, "Jack Snell". Hailed by the Glasgow Evening Times as a triumph it received screenings at the Glasgow Film Theatre.
Originally intending to pursue a career as a director, Grant gained a place on the three-year Actors' Course at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, graduating with a Diploma in Dramatic Art and the Award for Special Merit in Acting. It was here that Grant formed a writer/performer double act with Alex Bartlette. Together they won the BBC Muriel Finlayson Award for Scriptwriting – an interest which they had developed during their time at Drama School.
For the following six or seven years, Grant balanced his career as a busy actor with occasional writing commissions.
He starred in the BBC TV 13-part prime time drama, Jury - a performance which won him much praise. Grant also landed the title role in Mick Gold's film biopic of "Egon Schiele", playing alongside David Suchet. There followed seasons at the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre, the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, Leicester Haymarket Theatre and Northcott Theatre, Exeter - where as well as appearing in "Hamlet" and Thomas Hardy's "The Dynasts", Grant also composed and performed the music.
A production of his Comedy Musical "A Buckskin Bag of Gold" was mounted at the Exeter Northcott Theatre. He performed opposite Kenneth Branagh in Julian Mitchell's play "Francis" at the Greenwich Theatre, London, then joined The Royal Shakespeare Company for one year, appearing in Terry Hands' production of "Troilus and Cressida" and Solzhenitsyn's "The Love Girl and The Innocent".
After that he worked for a while on the London Fringe, winning rave reviews in numerous Shakespeare comedy roles – Puck, Biondello, and Launcelot Gobbo.
As a writer, Grant's earliest success (aged just 22) was a one-hour play produced by Tom Kinninmont for BBC Radio 4 - a comedy called "Moonlight and Aspirins", it starred Miriam Margolyes, Rupert Frazer and David Hayman.
He then contributed material to a TV sketch show, which led him to collaborate with Children's TV writer Lee Pressman. Together they created and wrote all 94 episodes of the cult kids' comedy T-Bag. One of ITV's most popular shows of the 1980s, it ran for almost a decade. Pressman and Cathro went on to create a run of original and hugely successful children's TV series – a diverse body of work including long-running sitcoms (Spatz, Mike & Angelo, Cone Zone) SF action/adventure (Delta Wave, The Tomorrow People) and popular family dramas. Their 100-minute film screenplay "B&B", starring Kevin Whately, Jan Ravens, Joanna Kanska, Katy Murphy and Ian McNeice, met with great critical acclaim and won them a Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award.
Grant went on to appear as an actor in a succession of mainstream television dramas including Taggart and Love Hurts - starring Zoe Wannamaker and Adam Faith.
In the late 1990s, Grant re-established his writer/performer relationship with Alex Bartlette. Together they wrote a film adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" for Channel 4 and co-wrote a further five series of ITV's longest-running children's sitcom Mike & Angelo.
Grant and Alex wrote, co-produced and starred in a 60-minute SF comedy "The Light Fantastic" alongside Peter Capaldi and Phillida Law. They also wrote scripts for the multi award-winning hit Microsoap (Disney/BBC), ITV's family-drama series Snap, and the pop-band comedy Star Street.
In 2003 Grant Cathro and Alex Bartlette wrote all the scripts and starred in their own late-night comedy series "Something Or Other", which aired on BBC Radio 4.
With an astounding 350-plus scripts to his credit, Grant has been working as a solo writer for the past two or three years. Grant is currently Head Writer of Genie In The House, a 52-episode fantasy sitcom which has quickly established itself as one of Nickeodeon's top-rated shows.
Also in 2007 Grant has been commissioned by Trudie Styler of Xingu Films to write a feature film screenplay based on Joshua Doder's book "A Dog Called Grk".
Grant appeared at the 2007 Cult TV Festival Weekender courtesy of Fantom Films, to celebrate their release of the T-Bag Reunion DVD.

Georgina Hale is am iconic actress, having appeared in numerous films including many directed by Ken Russell ("Mahler" and "The Devils", as well as in-joke cameos in "Lisztomania" and "Valentino"). Add to these her performance in the Twiggy musical "The Boyfriend" (alongside Glenda Jackson) and her reputation for superb performances was sealed.
She first came to national recognition in the TV series Budgie, playing the leading role of Jean, alongside Adam Faith's title character. Before that, her TV career began with a small part in a BBC Wednesday Play in 1966, "Way Off Beat", which led on to guest roles in such series as Special Branch, Public Eye, Detective, Virgin of the Secret Service and Menace.

Other films during her career include "Sweeney 2" (1978), "The World is Full of Married Men" (1979), "The Watcher In The Woods" (1980), "McVicar" (1980), "Castaway" (1986), "Beyond Bedlam" (1993), "Preaching to the Perverted" (1997), "Photo Finish" (2003), and Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont" (2005).
The film "Butley" (1976), was written by Simon Gray, and Georgina continued her connection with this writer, performing in many of his stage plays, which were filmed and shown on TV, such as "Only Make Believe", "Electra", "Plaintiffs And Defendants", "Two Sundays" and "The Seagull".
She has had many theatre roles over the years, many of them for the Glasgow Citizens Company such as "Mourning Becomes Electra" (1991), "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" (1994), "Britannicus" (2002) and "The Cherry Orchard" (2002). Other plays include "Life Support" (1997, The Aldwych, London), "The Guardsman" (2000, National Tour) and "Semi-Monde" (2001, The Lyric Theatre, London).

Researcher and writer ...
Gareth Owen graduated from Bangor University in 1994 with a Honours Degree in Applied Physics. He wondered what he might do ... perhaps some top job in nuclear research, or become an academic postulating mind boggling theories. But no, instead he took the next logical step and entered the film industry. Doesn't everyone?
After organising British Film Day in April 1994 at Pinewood, within two months of graduation the studio was to become his new home from home.
He set up a small production company, and served as Executive Producer on acclaimed comedy (i.e., no one ever saw it) A Fistful Of Fingers. He has since found greater success in writing. In 2000 his official history of Pinewood Studios, The Pinewood Story, was published. It was swiftly followed by a biography of special effects genius Albert J Luxford The Gimmick Man, and Roger Moore's career biography, fittingly entitled Roger Moore: His Films And Career. A couple of other projects are underway, along with writing for industry periodical British Film & TV Production Magazine.
He considers himself an expert on all things James Bond and can bore for England on British comedy films.
The principal female voice artiste in Captain Scarlet, presenter of Finding Out and co-star of The District Nurse...
Liz Morgan was the principal female voice artist for Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons, lending her vocal talents to the French 'Destiny Angel' and resident Sloane 'Rhapsody Angel', as well as 'Harmony Angel' in early stories, before Lian Shin took on the role a dozen episodes into production. Liz also voiced Dorina Cordova in the Joe 90 episode "Viva Cordova".
At the time of the production of Captain Scarlet, Liz was the presenter of ITV schools programme Finding Out. She starred in The Old Devils for BBC Wales, was District Nurse Joanna in two seasons of ITV's We Are Seven, Mrs Prosser-Davies in The District Nurse, and Joyce in the LWT comedy The Two of Us.
Other guest roles include Public Eye, The Wednesday Play, Dad's Army, The Dick Emery Show, Dixon of Dock Green, Softly Softly, The Befrienders, Are You Being Served?, Terry and June, Angels, Fair Ground, Maybury, Mapp & Lucia, and Hetty Wainthropp Investigates.
Other television productions include the TV movie "Headhunters" and the mini series Ransom For A Pretty Girl and To Have And To Hold.
Liz appeared in a story from The Magnificent Six and a Half – "A Good Deed In Time", a children's cinema series from Harry Booth (who would go on to use some of the cast and the same style of production for Here Come The Double Deckers!), as well as "Ballet Shoes" alongside Angela Thorne and Barbara Lott, and appeared briefly as Christina in "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed".
Liz continues to take on various roles, including radio comedy and dramas, theatre and TV, including new animations Captain Sabertooth, and Snow Children.
Liz was born in Llanelli and has performed at the National Theatre and provincial venues, notably the Sherman Theatre Cardiff and Theatre Clwyd, plus several tours in the USA with her own one-woman plays. She has worked extensively in radio, particularly with the BBC Radio Drama Company, and recorded "Under Milk Wood" with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Recently she played Caitlin in a new play about Dylan Thomas at the Dylan Thomas Festival in Swansea.
She has written 26 performed plays for BBC Radio 4, several short stories and four television plays, and wrote and appeared in the 1994 sit-com pilot Sisters Three. A regular contributor to magazines and newspapers, she is now working on a sequel to her book, "Can We Afford The Bidet?" (Queen Anne Press), a guide to setting up a house in France. Her first novel "The Girl On The Promenade", was published in 2003.
A devoted Francophile, she spends half the year at her home in the South of France, easily recognisable by the Welsh flag 'Y Ddraig Goch', which flutters from the balcony.
Lofty in It Ain't Half Hot, Mum ...
Don Estelle was born in Manchester, and spent his early years there until, during World War II, he was evacuated to Darwen, near Blackburn, Lancashire. It was here that the young Don found his voice as a boy soprano at Holy Trinity Church (known today as St Peter's, Darwen). He was lucky enough to have the guidance and tuition of the prominent church musician, Sydney Nicholson.
The end of the war found Don back in Manchester, where he continued his valuable church experience at St Mary's Church, Crumpsall. The choir master and organist Mr Middleton continued Sydney Nicholson's sterling work by helping Don to maintain his musical studies which were given a further boost when he met Mrs Vaughan-Williams, a relative of the great composer, who taught him voice training for some years. This solid basis inspired the confidence required for Don to continue with an artistic career.
His first stage experience was with a local charity group, The Manchester Kentucky Minstrels. This led to a solo career on the North of England Club circuit - a renowned tough circuit for any aspiring artiste - during which time he met Windsor Davies. They teamed up to together with a double act, and played all the top clubs and theatres thoughout the UK for the next four years.
Don's short physical stature was to deny him the lead in romantic roles. Thus, he turned to comedy as a way to have his talent as a singer noticed. He was fortunate to meet Arthur Lowe at Granada TV who suggested he contact David Croft, the producer of the BBC's Dad's Army. Don was asked to play a Pickford's removal man delivering a 13 pounder naval gun to the Platoon, and from there the comedy career had started. When David Croft and Jimmy Perry went on to develop the series It Ain't Half Hot Mum their natural choice for the role of Gunner "Lofty" Sugden was Don Estelle.
The programme ran for eight years and brought the release, by EMI, of a cast album of the show. The ensuing single 'Whispering Grass', featuring Don and Windsor Davies soared to Number 1 in the BBC charts and remained in the hit parade for three months. To date it has sold well over one million copies. Don and Windsor's album Sing Lofty, also on the EMI label, sold over 80,000 copies and made the top ten, re-released on the 'Music for Pleasure' label it has sold a further 250,000 copies making it one of EMI's top twenty selling regular albums.
Never an artiste to rest on his laurels he continued to perform regularly around the world, from the UK to New Zealand, Australia and beyond. In 1999 he launched his autobiography 'Thoughts of a Gemini,' and started another recording venture, a reworking on CD of the classic Laurel and Hardy movie song 'Trail of the Lonesome Pine' featuring Rochdale's very own Liberal personality Sir Cyril Smith. TV audiences also saw Don the actor in his cameo role in the award winning series The League of Gentlemen.
Don died in August 2003, aged 70. He had been a guest, and star of the cabaret, at Cult TV 2002. Further information about him can be found at his website www.donestelle.co.uk

Dirk Benedict was born on 1st March 1945, in Helena, Montana, Dirk Niewoehner grew up in White Sulphur Springs.

Gaining a football scholarship to Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, he got acting bug by accident. He was dared by his friends to audition for the spring musical Showboat and landed the lead role, Gaylord Ravenal. He fell in love with the stage and, once he graduated with a degree in music, decided to pursue an acting career. He underwent a two year course at Meadowbrook Theatre in Detroit, under John Fernald, who had been the Principal at RADA for 15 years. As soon as he finished the course, he was offered a job in Fernald's Repertory Company, and the next few years were taken up with various Repertory gigs, filling in with other plays and musicals when he was between seasons.
Dirk's stage career took him to New York and inevitably Broadway. Shortly after arriving he landed a role in Abelard and Heloise, playing opposite Keith Michel and Diana Rigg. He also played the lead in Butterflies Are Free, with the late Gloria Swanson playing his mother. Their mother/son relationship developed off the stage too, and Ms Swanson shared her dietary secrets for health and long life with him.
Once Butterflies Are Free finished on Broadway, Dirk accepted an offer to do the play in Hawaii, with Barbara Rush. Whilst there, he had a guest role in Hawaii Five-O - his first TV role. Shortly afterwards he was given the role of Gil Foley, the lead in Aaron Spelling's Chopper One, which was cancelled after one season.
He then left the acting profession for nearly three years. During this time he fought his own private battle, with prostate cancer. He treated this with a macrobiotic diet, a regime that he still follows to this day.
On his return to acting, he toured the East Coast in Li'l Abner with Lucy Arnaz, and in 1978 Glen Larson offered him the starring role of Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. This propelled him into the spotlight and from there he progressed to his other well-known role, Templeton "The Faceman" Peck in The A Team, which ran from 1983-87.
Dirk has had several guest appearances on television, including, Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense, Murder, She Wrote, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Charlie's Angels, Baywatch, The Love Boat, "mazing Stories, Walker - Texas Ranger and Hotel, to name but a few.
His film career started in 1972 with Georgia, Georgia, where he starred alongside the late Diana Sands. His next film was a psycho-thriller, SSSSS, in which he was turned into a king cobra. He followed this, in 1974, with W, in which he had a starring role opposite Twiggy, in her first American film. Since then, he has starred in numerous films including, Alaska, Shadow Force, Underground Aces, Trenchcoat in Paradise, Blue Tornadoes, Abduction of Innocence, Scruples, Mark of the Devil, and Zork, Grand Inquisitor. He also directed Christina's Dream (1994).
In addition to acting and directing, Dirk is a renowned author. His first book, Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy, published in 1991, chronicles his journey from Montana to Hollywood, including his fight with cancer. His second book And Then We Went Fishing is the true story of becoming, and losing, a Father. His third book, Montana Memoirs: Notes from a Dangerous Wordsmith, will be a collection of short stories covering his childhood in Montana. He has also written two original stage plays, Puppy Dog Tales and Acting Becomes Her, as well as several screenplays. He has directed his own screenplay, in Cahoots.
Dirk lives in Montana with his two sons, George and Roland, and he maintains that the greatest role he has ever played is that of "Dad".

Weight loss surgery may reduce fertility in men: study
Tue 12 Sep 2017, 13:25:57
Men who undergo bariatric or weight loss surgery may suffer semen abnormalities and reduced fertility, a study has warned.
A meta-analysis of studies in which men underwent Roux- en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures found frequent sperm aberrations and lower fertility rates despite improvements in weight, androgen levels, and sexual quality of life following the procedure.
Gastric bypass surgery involves dividing stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower "remnant" pouch and then rearranging the small intestine to connect to both.
Researchers, including those from Harvard Medical School in the US, compared the long-term effects of weight loss following RYGB among a group of sexually active men attempting to conceive with a partner to the semen parameters and fertility of obese men who did not undergo bariatric surgery and to a control group of lean men.
They identified elevated levels of the oestrogen hormone estradiol and deficient vitamin D as factors that could negatively impact semen and fertility among the RYGB group."This study is one important piece in solving the puzzle of male infertility," said Edward Lin, from Emory University School of Medicine in the US.
"The challenge is to see if correcting hormonal and micro-nutrient aberrations are enough to reverse male infertility," said Lin. The research was published in the journal Bariatric Surgical Practice and Patient Care.

Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all. - Bill Clinton
"Stigma is one of the largest contributing factors which keep people with mental and emotional problems from seeking help. Words like psycho, schizo, nuts, crazy are things we all say easily whether in a joking manner or as a label. But it is hurtful and devalues our family member, friend, child, or neighbor who is suffering from mental illness." - The Daily News Online
Mental vs. physical
Why does stigma of mental illnesses continue? For one thing, the term "mental illness" suggests that it's not the same as a medical or physical illness. To some, the word "mental" suggests that the illness is not a legitimate medical condition but rather a problem caused by your own choices and actions. People may blame you and think your condition is "all in your head." They may think that a mental health disorder means that you're weak or lazy. They may think that you should just "get over it." And you may begin to think these things about yourself, too.
In reality, mental illnesses have very complex causes, often a mix of your genetics, your biology and your life experiences — most of which are beyond your control. Neuroimaging studies, for instance, show physical changes in the brain associated with mental disorders. And studies show that some mental illnesses run in families, suggesting that they may be due in part to your genes." - Mayo Clinic
Take this quick test:
Re-read my post, here: (Click Here) but, make a conscious effort to replace the areas that speak of emotional pain, as if they spoke of physical pain instead, say, a bad stomach ache.
Imagine, in the end - I am not talking about a nervous breakdown or suicide attempt, but that I am talking about appendicitis, instead.
Would your reaction be different? Would you be better able to formulate words of encouragement and hope, if the misfiring in my body involved any organ other than the brain?
Would it be easier to read, easier to assimilate, easier to find an affinity?
The stigma attached to mental illness means that people feel ashamed of their conditions, afraid to seek help, and backed into an emotional quagmire of a wall of attitude that seems to suggest that if they were worthwhile human beings, they would just get over it and get well.
Can you imagine telling someone with cancer that they should be afraid to seek treatment, that they didn't really need it, and - that - if they were a good enough person, that they would overcome the illness all on their own?
If you suffer from mental illness, you know exactly what I am saying here.
If you don't suffer from mental illness, please take a moment and think about the reality of the stigmatization that we face on a daily basis and the injustice and damage it does to our self esteem and our ability to seek treatment and recovery.

wikiHow to Give Atenolol to Cats with Heart Disease
Three Parts:Prescribing Atenolol to CatsGiving Atenolol to Your CatMonitoring Your CatCommunity Q&A
Atenolol is a beta-blocker that is used to treat cats with an abnormal or irregular heart rhythm or high blood pressure. It works to slow down the heart rate and helps the heart to function more efficiently. In order to give your cat atenolol for heart disease, you must seek medical attention and get a prescription from your vet, follow all instructions provided by your vet to administer the medication, and then monitor your cat for potential side effects or signs of an overdose.
Part 1
Prescribing Atenolol to Cats
1Notice heart disease symptoms. In many instances cats will not show signs of heart disease until it has become severe. If you notice your cat struggling to breathe or their mobility suddenly becomes restricted, they may be suffering from heart disease. If these symptoms occur, you should visit your vet immediately. Other symptoms of heart disease in cats include:[1]
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Blue gums or tongue
- Collapse or sudden death
2Visit your veterinarian. If you believe your cat may have heart disease or a related heart condition, you should take your cat to the vet immediately for a medical assessment. Your vet will likely perform x-rays of the heart to diagnose the problem. Once diagnosed, they may prescribe atenolol.[2]
- Atenolol should only be given to your cat if it has been prescribed by a licensed veterinarian.
- If necessary, your veterinarian may also refer you to an animal cardiologist for specialized testing, such as echocardiography or heart ultrasound.
- Your veterinarian may also perform bloodwork to rule out other conditions, such as hyperthyroidism, which can cause a rapid heart rate.
3Inform your vet if your cat takes other medication. If your cat has been prescribed atenolol to treat heart disease, there is a good chance it is already on other medications for related health issues. Atenolol can interact with other drugs that your cat may be taking. These interactions can either reduce or increase the effects of other drugs.[3]
- For example, atenolol will increase the effects of many drugs that are used for anesthesia.
- Alternatively, it will reduce the effects of drugs that are used to increase heart rate or blood pressure.
Part 2
Giving Atenolol to Your Cat
1Follow all instructions provided by the vet. If you do not understand the instructions provided by your vet, ask for clarification. It is very important that you follow these instructions carefully. This includes giving the proper daily dosage. The typical dose for a cat is 1mg per pound (2 mg/kg), once a day.[4]
2Do not stop giving the drug unless instructed by your vet. If your cat begins to show signs of improvement, you should not abruptly stop giving the drug. Instead, you should continue the entire prescription. Although cats typically need this medication for the rest of their lives, your vet may decide to reduce the dosage at some point.[8]
- An abrupt stop could actually make the heart condition worse.[9]
3Administer the pill orally. Atenolol comes in tablet form. Give the pill to your cat by mixing it with their food or placing it into a pill pocket treat. Alternatively, you could try inserting the pill into the back of their mouth using your fingers.
- Unless your vet instructs otherwise, hide the pill in food or a treat and give it to your cat. This is the easiest way to give your cat a pill.
- Let your veterinarian know if you are having any trouble administering the dose. It is possible to have the medication compounded by a pharmacy into a liquid that will be appealing to your cat.
4Wash your hands after administering. Once you have given your cat the pill, you should wash your hands with soap and warm water. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds and then rinse off the soap and dry your hands on a clean towel.[10]
Part 3
Monitoring Your Cat
1Watch for side effects. Ask your vet about any possible side effects from the drug and monitor your cat to see if any develop. Some possible side effects to look for include:[11]
- Slow heart rate
- Low blood pressure
- Loss of energy and appetite
- Diarrhea
2Monitor your cat for signs of an overdose. Some common indicators that your cat may have overdosed on atenolol include: slow heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, dizziness, weakness, confusion, or nausea.[12]
3Contact your vet in the case of an overdose. If you suspect that your cat has overdosed on atenolol, you should contact your vet immediately. Perhaps you left the pills on the counter and your cat got into the container while you were out. If your vet is not available, you can also contact the Animal Poison Control Center (APCC).[13]
- Always bring the prescription bottle with you to the vet or APCC. This way they will be able to see exactly which drug has been overdosed.
Community Q&A
- Store the medicine at room temperature and keep it out of reach of children and animals.[14]
- Only give Atenolol to the cat it was prescribed to.
- Atenolol is not FDA approved for cats; however, it is a commonly accepted practice for vets to prescribe the drug to cats with heart conditions.
- Do not give atenolol to your cat prior to a surgery.

My wife and I had lunch here in September whilst staying in Brantôme. The restaurant was recommended to us by residents.
The menu contains tartines and tagines, offering a pleasant change from all the perigord usuals of confit, maigret etc. though these were on the menu if you wanted them.
The food was very tasty and great value.
The restaurant is run by a couple and the service is great, the waiter gets the balance just right with the language. His English is fluent, but he was more than happy to let us speak in French and help out when needed.
Will we go back, yes.

Question about Zonet ZEW2500P 802.11g/b Wireless Adapter
Posted by ahomer814 on
In regards to your wireless adapter it can not directly effect your computers preformance. However it can slow down the computer in regards to Internet application trying to send data back and forth. So if a program is waiting on data and your wireless signal changes this can effect your data speed which in time can slow down the computer because it is processing more data or waiting on data to process.
If you are only running Word then you could have a Windows issue with your computer or even a virus/malware on your computer.
I would recommend going to this link and doing a full scan on your computer to make sure there is not any unwanted programs on your computer phoning home. Note after you down load and run the applet you will need to click on settings to do a full scan on your computer.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles on the road today. Nissan automobile enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Axxess around town. When your Nissan Axxess was born, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes economical pricing in their automobile. Make no mistake, you bought your Axxess because you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and driver satisfaction both impeccably combined into one automobile.
A brake system that works properly gives you and your passengers a sense of safety when you want to slow down. That means your Nissan Axxess brake lines or hoses need to be free of leaks at all times. Hydraulic brake lines connect the brake master cylinder to the calipers and/or wheel cylinders on your car or truck. Every time you apply the brakes on your Nissan Axxess, the brake fluid gets sent directly to the parts that stop your vehicle. If there's a leak in a brake hose, then you will likely see a large puddle of fluid under your car when you press the brake pedal.
When your Nissan requires the best replacement Brake Line & Hose, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Buying new Nissan parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Axxess parts on the internet. Get your Axxess back on the road with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Nissan Axxess Brake Line & Hose parts for 1992, 1991, 1990 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Once again, greetings and salutations. Well, summer is sizzling and so is Memories. Nothing but stars - a Joe Namath lookalike, a Nicole Kidman lookalike, a Marilyn Monroe lookalike, a Ron Perelman lookalike, Ish Kabibble, Benny Hill and on and on. And of course the real stars who make it happen - the return of the Three Amigos. Adrian, who goes solo and got on the hunt. My man Anthony celebrating a birthday - in fact, lots of birthday parties at Memories this weekend, including Gina, Marissa, Dominic and Joe Marone. And of course, my pal Jose, the kids from Florida, Patches and the Candy Man.
And yes, you heard right. That was State Senator Larry Farnese along with Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania Michael Stack dancing alongside former Councilman Frank DiCicco. And how about my main man Phil Juliano, along with Frankie Parm and Phil's lovely wife Daisy straight from The Great Gatsby - plus Danny & Cathy Brestle, Dave and Joanne Casinelli of Yuengling, Lisa and Pete Ciarrocchi of Chickie's & Pete's and the return of Carmen and AnneMarie Nasuti, along with the Longport Crew and the gang from Sea Isle City.
And a special hello to Rich Metzler, a fellow admirer of Sitting Bull, and my pal Pasquale Vallese and his beautiful new brideElaine.
And if you haven't experienced the magic of Memories yet this summer, hard to believe but we've got only six weeks left, so stop in and see for yourself. As you can see from the photo (attached), folks of all ages come and party with us and, as good as it gets, each week it gets even better. You can hear the music and the magic live every Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. on WVLT Cruisin' 92.1 (WVLT.com) and Saturday from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. WTKU Kool 98.3 FM.
And even though a temporary gas leak caused the Bay Club to close last Thursday, all is fixed and we will be back in Wildwood every Thursday night for the rest of the summer. And of course our Sunday afternoon jam sessions at La Costa in Sea Isle are still going strong. Lots of opportunities to party with us five nights a week here at the shore, not to mention in Bridgeport, Pa., on Mondays and at the Sands in Bethlehem on Wednesdays. Hope to see you at one place or another this summer.
And now, let's get to your questions:
I have always wanted to ask you this. When the Isley Brothers successfully sued Michael Bolton for plagiarism, what was the song in question? And when you went to court to testify on behalf of the Isley Brothers, what did you say? - Holly, Brigantine
The song was "Love Is a Wonderful Thing," originally recorded by the Isley Brothers in 1964. Bolton claimed that he never heard "Love Is a Wonderful Thing" because it was never played on the radio and he wasn't familiar with the Isley Brothers. I flew out to L.A. to testify that not only was I one of many DJs who played the song when it first came out, but that for Bolton to say that he didn't know the group was ridiculous because the "national anthem" for partying and in colleges back then was "Shout." The judge agreed because she herself remembered everyone partying to "Shout" at the college she attended.
Jerry, have you ever had Kim Weston at the Kimmel Center? Any chance you can book her for one of your shows? I'd love to see her sing "Helpless" backed up by that orchestra. -- Gary from Somers Point
Yes, Kim was with us at the Kimmel in March 2002, along with the Maxine Brown, the Drifters, Lloyd Price, Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler, Eddie Holman, Martha & the Vandellas, and Kenny Vance & the Planotones. She did "Looking for the Right Guy," "Take Me In Your Arms," and "It Takes Two," but I agree that "Helpless" would tear the house down. I believe she's had some health issues recently and I'm not sure if she's still performing, but if we can, we certainly would love to have her back.
We want to see you at Memories at Margate on Friday. Can I bring my 5-year-old granddaughter to happy hour? - Diane O'Mara, Haddonfield
Because Memories also has a restaurant license and we serve food, you can bring a member of the family who's a minor to the club as long as they're always with a parent or guardian, with the understanding that we are not allowed to serve alcohol to anyone under the age of 21.
Do you remember the name of the disco dance show you used to host on Channel 2 in Forks Township Saturday mornings back in the '70s? My identical twin and I used to be on just about every Saturday. Those were the days. - Donna, Whitehall, Pa.
I've done so many shows throughout my career in different markets that I don't recall the exact title of this one. But any of you out there remember the show and know the name, please write on in and we'll post the answer.
Got a question – or answer - for the Geator? Send it to email@example.com, watch this column for the answer - and remember, keep on rocking, 'cause you only rock once!

Thank you Dr Moghaddaa. In those cases of 4mm and less - If the position of the crest is in a favorable prosthetic position then I prefer to split. If the bone is more ligualized than I elect to augment. Using proper cuts with piezo along with bone expanders we can prevent labial fractures. Often just a horizontal cut can be enough. Omitting inferior cuts as well. Secondly we must use a narrower implant as to not over expand the plates. Therefore platform switch implant that can handle molar forces is pre requisite.
Thank for your question. Hope to see you in NY for symposium.
Isaac , congrats, very well documented .
my question: in cases with ridge width less than 4mm, by considering the possible risks like fracture of the buccal plate,do you prefer to go for ridge splitting or you prefer to do the GBR ?
all the bests
Dr Moghaddas
Dr Salama - my humble thanks for your comments and questions. They are some of the more common and important questions regarding this technique.
Minimum crestal ridge thickness would be 3mm. 1 mm cancellous 1 mm cortical on each side.
There can be incredible regenerative potential when splitting and grafting as long as we don't pack our graft too tightly between the 2 cortical segments. I've found that the access to the medullary blood supply is even greater than when we decorticate during ridge augmentation procedures.
Keeping the periosteum intact works wonderfully as long as we have enough bone remaining on both sides of our implants. If there is 6mm of crestal bone we can simply split without a full thickness flap as you mentioned quite predictably. With less thickness often cortical vertical releases are necessary and reinforcing those cuts with mineralized grafting material enhances our alveolar outcome.
We've seen many cases with bone loss when too much stress on the crestal ridge is employed. Using a narrow implant design is paramount to avoid stress so a platform switching implant is important to provide an appropriate occlusal restorative table for our molars. In addition the increasing development of piezo devices has reduced necrosis in these cases.
There are so many different versions of ridge splitting/expansion. I like your technique and excellent documentation. A few questions for you; 1. What is your "minimum" ridge thickness that you would consider splitting the ridge? 2. Many maintain the periosteum on the buccal segment, do you feel it is important? 3. Many have reported some crestal bone loss with this approach after healing and loading? Have you seen a similar result? thanks Dr. Salama
Ronni - zirconia abutments must have ti base as well. Full zirconia abutments are subject to fracture. The key is that the ti base must be tall enough. Often labs will shorten them thus loosing surface area for zirconia to bond with. Ti base should be treated with monobond or z-prime and a good cement like multi link hybrid should be employed. Of course this is all done at the lab level. There is nothing wrong with screw retained emax either although zirconia does handle stronger compressive forces. I've had only 2 come off on several hundred implants over the last 4 years and a simple recementation was done in office. Happy implanting.
I have been using zirconia abutments for a little while and in the posterior I recently had two implant crowns become loose and the problem was the Zirconia internal hex broke away from the abutment so in the posterior crowns I went back to screw retained emax with titanium base.
Excelent work, congratulations!
Site Preparation & Osseodensification in Bone Management
Today's implant arena involves not only the understanding of procedures but also the science behind wound healing.
Often new technologies and instrumentation evolves that have a significant impact on what we are able to do clinically. Piezosurgical devices, periotomes, osteotomes, hydraulic sinus devices, neurosurgical drills, and the "PET" (Partial Extraction Therapies) system are just a short list of those that have made surgery more efficient and less traumatic for our patients. Osseodensification is another concept that can be added to this long list. This lecture will speak about new age bone management concepts and how these technologies may be able to assist us. Potential issues and focus on use will be touched upon as well.
Surgical Protocols for Socket Type 2 in the Aesthetic Zone
The topic of this presentation is an implant surgical procedures for a socket type 2 (socket missing buccal bone) in an aesthetic area, with emphasis on modified IVAN* technique for socket preservation. IVAN* stands for inter-positional vascularised augmentation neogenesis.
Author`s guidelines for selection of appropriate surgical protocols for sockets missing buccal bone wall, protocols that are proved to be most effective, are presented. Early implant placement with GBR, prosthetic socket preservation and socket augmentation with socket sealing are shortly presented as alternatives for some cases. From author modified IVAN technique is shown step by step.
Anterior Implant placement and Tissue Augmentation
Dr. Michael Sonick outlines the keys to anterior implant placement in conjunction with hard and soft tissue augmentation.
Creative Ridge Expansion Solutions Utilizing Ultrasonic Technologies
Management of the narrow ridge is a common challenge in modern prosthetically-driven implant dentistry. Treatment using a simple and highly predictable procedure for alveolar ridge expansion can be employed using new techniques and technologies which will be introduced on this presentation.
Increase Surgical Implant and Regenerative Success by Going 3D and Using Innovative Products
Detailed videos using 3D planning software as well as innovative products by a speaker with an extensive background in implant and regenerative surgical procedures.
Interpositional Bone Grafts to Treat the Posterior Atrophic Mandible
This presentation analyzes the interpositional bone graft or inlay technique, discussing the reconstructive surgical approach. Horizontal osteotomy with the interposition of bone in the form of a "sandwich" involves raising a coronal osteotomized segment of the mandible, which is still attached to the lingual periosteum, and interpositioning a block bone graft. This technique guarantees a dual vascular supply to the inlay graft from the lingual periosteum and from the residual bone; it also allows optimum use of the native basal bone, which should be less prone to resorption. The advantages and disadvantages of the inlay technique are compared with other commonly used augmentation techniques in the management of posterior mandibular atrophies.
Advanced Bone Grafting Techniques: Part 2 - Autogenous Bone Blocks in the Reconstruction of the Atrophic Maxillary Ridge
This lecture will describe the use of autologous onlay block bone grafting for reconstruction of moderate to severe atrophic maxillary alveolar ridge. This will include a discussion of the various options to this form of grafting, such as short implants, maxillary sinus augmentation, sub-nasal elevation procedure, connective tissue grafting and soft tissue manipulation, Le-Fort I down fracture/osteotomy and the use of progenitor cells: bone marrow aspirating concentrated.
A description of surgical donor harvest sites in the mandible will also be performed as well as post-op healing of these sites. Additional time will be spent reviewing causes of failure with bone blocks and implants placed into these sites.
Maximizing Aesthetics in the Deficient Alveolar Ridge
This article will present a predictable method for replacing the lost bone prior to implant placement through the ramus block graft technique.
Alloplastic Bone Substitutes Around Dental Implants
The repair of osseous defects has been a goal in dentistry for many decades. Subsequently, within the last several years, there has been an emergence of a new class of materials in dentistry referred to as synthetic bone. Finding the ideal bone substitute material has been the goal of researchers for many years. In attempting to achieve this ideal material, dental practitioners have tried with varying degrees of success: autogenous and demineralized freeze-dried bone, allografts of plastic, carbon…
Quantitative Evaluation of Extraction Socket Healing Following the Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix in Humans
Advantages of PRFM alone include less surgical time, elimination of techniques and potential healing difficulties associated with membranes, and less resorption during healing, as compared to guided bone regeneration procedures.

My Background
I've been playing with classical ensembles and rock bands since 2001. Even though I started on classical trombone and rock guitar, I have come to expand my repertoire to a variety of instruments and genres. During my time in college I performed with the University choir, orchestra, and band. I also have organized, wrote/arranged for, and performed with a variety of bands in my home state of New Mexico, as well as Japan, and the San Francisco Bay Are
Since 2006 I have been an active teacher. This profession has taken me everywhere from working with classical guitar classes in New Mexico high schools to Elementary students in Japan to a variety of private students of various musical instruments and genres everywhere I've been. Since relocating to the Bay Area in 2010, I've had the pleasure of working with lots of great students from kids to adults with a wide range of ambitions. Since 2012 I've been running my own full time studio.
Philosophy of Learning
Lessons are generally designed to work towards giving students the tools to accomplish their goals and become increasingly independent over time. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. What kind of music do you want to make? I'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations.
I also love to help students put together a song, record, and produce it for them so that they can have a recording to share with their friends and family.
I also hold events for my students. (Check out our pictures and videos below!)
Younger students have the "Young Musicians Showcase" every few months where individual students and band classes have a chance to perform and celebrate their accomplishments with friends and family.
Adult students occasionally have events where they get a chance to get together and play music as well.
Aside from in-studio lessons, students also have the option to sign up for online lessons via Skype.
(*Online lessons offered during different times than in-studio lessons.)
*Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I'm not currently accepting students for bi-weekly lessons. I can do regular weekly lessons, or occasional drop-in lessons, but bi-weekly appointments make it really hard for me to give the best scheduled times to my existing weekly students. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
My studio is equipped with:
*Multiple Music Stands
*P.A. System
*Vocal and instrument microphones
*Guitars, Basses, and a Banjo
*Two guitar amps and a bass amp
*Various percussion including a fully equipped acoustic drum set
*A Roland V-Drums electronic drum set
*An electric piano console
*A MicroKorg Synthesizer
*A Tuba, Trombone, Cornet, and Flute
*An extensive physical and virtual music library
*A recording system that students are not only welcome to use but encouraged to
*HD Webcam and condenser microphone for high fidelity online lessons via Skype

*** Lesson Details ***
I strongly believe that, if every child would be provided with an ideal environment, would gain extraordinary ability. There are no exceptions. No one can tell how able man is by the nature. What is known is the ability that is spoiled or developed. It cannot be denied that most children speak their native languages beautifully by learning about 3000-4000 words by age 5 or 6. Nothing can clearer demonstrate of the original power of the human mind. Through the years of studying and teaching music I realized that this is the most important concept for developing each kid's talent, to increase his or her ability to the maximum. Therefore I am combining the great methods of teaching violin. The Suzuki method and the Russian school method. Suzuki method helps at the earliest stage of playing an instrument and I am using later Russian school method for more advanced period of studying.

Many teachers who teach viola are primarily violinists, and are not as aware of the extra attention to detail and slightly different techniques that this instrument requires. Since I am primarily a violist, I can teach tone production, posture, and other techniques from the perspective of a player who has spent time learning the idiosyncrasies that make the difference between an excellent violist and a competent one.
My teaching style is inspired by my initial training in the Suzuki method, and my studies with violist and pedagogue Karen Ritscher at Oberlin Conservatory. Please note, I have not yet received training as a Suzuki teacher and use the Suzuki method books and the teaching I received as a Suzuki student as a jumping off point for working on each student's individual needs.
About Grace
My initial studies were on violin using the Suzuki method, which has greatly influenced my teaching approach. However, I am dedicated to customizing the lesson time and structure to the needs and priorities of my students.
*** Specialties ***
Very few "viola teachers" play viola as their primary instrument. As a full-time violist, I can help you learn how to play this idiosyncratic instrument from my own experience.

Before I found her, I had been turned down by several other teachers on this site because I wanted to learn how to play the violin without having to learn to read music. When I saw Grace's video, I thought surely she would turn me down too, because she's an even better player than the teachers who had said no. I was very surprised and excited when she agreed to teach me. She saw no problem with giving me lessons without reading, which means that not only is she a better musician than the others, but obviously she's a better and more versatile instructor, too.
Like I said, I feel very fortunate. And, as good as she is, I would have expected to pay a lot more for her. I actually WOULD pay more. She'd be worth it! I've looked at dozens of other teachers on this site .. Trust me, she's the best.

Kyle was able to take me from sounding like a lower octave version of Jack Benny (a mid-20th century comedian famous for his howlingly horrid violin playing) to a level where I know how to hold the instrument and the bow, the fingerings, bowing technique, and how to get a very respectable sound from the instrument.
He also installed the strings when I received the new instrument, found a manufacturing flaw in the bridge height that the manufacturer subsequently paid to repair, and diagnosed a resonance issue with the instrument that was corrected with a balance weight on the string below the bridge.

I am a classically trained musician with a Bachelor's Degree in Music from Florida State University. With a total of 19 years of experience - 11 of those years as a member of the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra - I am capable of teaching multiple styles of music to all ages and proficiency levels. Also a multi-instrumentalist, I have the ability to teach other stringed instruments such as the viola, cello, double bass, guitar, mandolin, and ukulele.
About Toni
I teach strings to students of all different ages and proficiency levels. I am a classically trained musician with 19 years experience, with 11 of those years as a member of the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra. My competency and versatility as a musician has given me the opportunity to work with children in the public school systems, after school programs, recreational centers, local events, and statewide competitions a
Every instrument has a unique timbre, so I teach students what their chosen instrument's role is and what it's specific sound is used for. I believe that "practice makes progress," so I encourage each student to practice consistently and efficiently. By applying foundational techniques during practice and performance, it will aid in their continual growth and progress as a musician.
Depending on the goals and preference of the student - no matter the instrument - I highly encourage each of my students to learn to read music/chord sheets, understand and maneuver their instruments fluidly, and challenge themselves to pursue music in any and every way they can.
I firmly believe that learning technique and theoretical knowledge is essential to learning any instrument and any style. Focused practice sessions and learning how to listen actively instead of passively will shape a well-rounded musician, and as the teacher, achieving this with every student is my goal and my passion.
I very much look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better musician!

Students are raving about their Viola instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Rachel is very knowledgeable and willing to work around a schedule, she's very quick to praise you when you get something right and also quick to correct to prevent bad habits from forming. Due to my inability to take lessons in real life I chose to take lessons from her but now that I am taking lessons from her I don't think I'd change to an in person instructor if I had the option.
Thank you Rachel for taking on someone who loves classical music and no idea how to play and starting me on the journey of one day playing the Walton viola concerto and the Vieuxtemps viola sonata."

JANESVILLE (WKOW) -- Janesville police officers have arrested two juveniles they say led them on a chase with a stolen vehicle after stealing items from cars.
Just after 11:00 p.m. Sunday, officers were told to go to the area of Kellogg Avenue and Center Avenue to fine a 16-year-old girl who had run away from home and was reportedly driving a stolen vehicle. Officers spotted the vehicle on Center Avenue near Joliet Street driving without headlights on. They tried pulling the driver over, but she took off, and they pursued her. That lasted a little more than half a mile, before the vehicle crashed into a fence at the dead end of LaSalle Court, just south of Champlain Street.
Police confirmed the driver was the 16-year-old runaway. She had a 14-year-old male passenger with her. Neither were injured, but both were taken into custody. Both are being held at the Rock County Juvenile Detention Center on charges stemming from this incident, according to Janesville Police Department.
After investigating further, Janesville police say the teenagers were involved in thefts from motor vehicles on the southwest side of the city prior to officers finding them. Officers searched the stolen vehicle and found several items that had been stolen recently from other vehicles. Some of those items have been returned to their owners. They're still trying to identifying the owners of other items.
If you were the victim of a recent theft or have information about the crimes, contact the Janesville Police Department at (608) 755-3100.
Meanwhile, the 16-year-old female from Janesville is tentatively charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle Without the Owner's Consent, Fleeing an Officer and other related traffic offenses, curfew violation, and three counts of theft. The 14-year-old male from Janesville is tentatively charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle Without the Owner's Consent as a Passenger, Underage Drinking, curfew violation and three counts of theft.

03 Nov NBR Hair Extensions x Candice Motley
Mot Goes West: Part Two
Just over six months ago, I ventured to Laguna Beach, California to attend a class on Natural Beaded Rows Hair Extensions. At the time, I had certification in the method, and was interested in learning more, but had no idea the possibilities it could provide.
My class in Laguna introduced me to those possibilities and I came back thrilled to be able to share that with all of my guests. Over the past several months I fell more in love with the NBR Hair Extension method, and the aspects that set it apart from other hair extension methods.
The method's versatility and customizable nature means it can be used to reach a variety of hair goals, from just a little extra fullness and volume to voluminous length. In order to expand my knowledge of the detailed stitched application style, I began taking a class every Wednesday to learn the intricacies of the method, and reach a deeper understanding of what's possible with NBR.
When the creator of Natural Beaded Rows, Danielle White, reached out and invited me to become an educator for NBR Hair Extensions, she knew I believed in the method enough to spread her knowledge to others.
Last week I returned to CA to become a certified NBR Educator, and in just a few weeks will return to California again to be a part of the NBR Convention. I've carefully chosen each extension method that we offer for various reasons, and each method assists different hair types and needs.
I've chosen to become an educator for Natural Beaded Rows because of its unique aspects that set it apart from other methods, such as the unique attachment method, its compatibility with thick hair, the ability to wear it in more styles without visibility of the extensions, and the volume and fullness it can provide for finer haired guests. Becoming an educator is a huge honor!
To learn more about the method, and to see it in action, you can check out this post, and follow us on instagram.
