Red Demons given up only one earned run (four runs total) in 24 innings of work
The Dodge City Red Demons opened up their home schedule with hot arms on the mound and hot bats at the plate in recording a doubleheader sweep over the Wichita South Titans.
The Red Demons beat the Titans 11-1 in the first game of the twinbill, and then followed that with an 11-0 victory in the nightcap. Both games went five innings.
"We saw the ball well and we've been working hard in practice," said senior centerfielder Jordan Doan. "The coaches have been helping and they've helped us out at the plate."
Collin Gifford and Andrew Balderaz threw five-inning complete games for the Red Demons (3-1).
Gifford gave up one unearned run in the fourth and one hit in the opener. He struck out six and walked two in getting the win. Balderaz gave up four hits and three walks while striking out four in picking up the shutout in the nightcap.
The Demons' pitching staff has played four games — all complete game efforts — and given up four runs (only one earned) in 24 innings of work. Dodge City head coach Daniel Rogers said it's pretty simple why the hurlers are doing so well early.
"I feel like a lot of it comes down to experience," Rogers said. "We have four starters who were starters for us last year, so they already know what to do because they have the experience on the mound."
If there is one area the Demons need to improve on, it is defense. Dodge City committed seven errors in the game, but were able to make the plays or have the pitchers throw out of jams to keep runs off the board.
"We've got to get better defensively," Rogers said. "The main thing is that when Collin and Andrew pitch, we put guys in that are inexperienced. We just have to do a lot of repetitions so they'll get better."
The Red Demons scored in every inning of the first game and spent as much time inducing walks as hits. Although Dodge City had only five hits, the team scored a number of runs with the help of 12 walks issued, many with the bases loaded.
Gifford was officially 0-for-1 at the plate, but earned three runs batted in; while Doan was 1-for-1 with four runs scored. Freshman catcher Gideon Wells and second baseman Arrin Tieben went 1-for-2 with two RBIs apiece.
Dodge City didn't get a strong start in the second game, not scoring in the first two innings. The Demons started getting to the Titan pitchers in the third inning with five runs in the third, two in the fourth and four in the final frame.
Doan went 3-for-4 with three doubles and four RBIs, while Wells went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and Austin Weiser was 3-for-4 with a run and RBI.

Community relations in Crumlin were hanging by a thread last week as anger about the town's Twelfth of July parade threatened to boil over into violence.
The town host the Twelfth once every 14 years, but that was still too much for the members of a recently-formed residents' group who called on the Parades' commission to show the organizers their marching orders.
After days of secret deliberations their verdict came in – and it has somehow managed to drum up hostility from hardliners on both sides of the debate.

The inspirational pensioner played down his achievement but credited his life-long love of books for his success.

Disappointment was mixed with a certain amount of relief following the sale of Whites Castle in Athy on July 6.
The disappointment centered around the fact that the castle wasn't bought by the local council and the relief was that it was bought by an Irish family who intend to live in it as their family home.
The castle was sold for $238,000 at the Allsop Space auction to a couple in their 40s, who are from Galway, but living in the US at present. The couple are believed to have no connections or family links with Athy and they have let it be known that their intention is to eventually live in the castle and use it as their family home.

In a video interview on www.longfordleader.ie, Clr.

A flaming coal fire will be a thing of the past for Navan households from next year as the ban on traditional smoky coal is extended to the town.

The local government tendering process was subject to European and national criteria, councilors were told at the July meeting of Nenagh/Borrisokane area council. Area engineer Marcus O'Connor said that the thresholds were being lowered and even the smaller jobs were going out to tender. "We don't have a choice."
However, he pointed out that local companies had been successful in securing tendered work, but that was because the work was outside the county.
Mr. O'Connor said it was not always the case that the lowest tender was accepted by the council.
The issue had been raised by Fianna Fail councillor Jim Casey, who wanted to know why local companies that tendered for work did not always get the contract.

A 19-year-old woman was recovering in hospital after she was pulled from a burning car just outside Athlone last Tuesday evening.
At about 7 p.m. last Tuesday the woman was driving her car when she crashed into a bridge on the Athlone to Ballinahown Road. The car burst into flames and the woman was pulled from the car by passing motorists and people living on the road.
She was brought to the Midlands Regional Hospital in Tullamore, where she was treated for her injuries.

Wexford TD Mick Wallace is facing political exile after refusing to deal with an ethics watchdog over his company's $2.6m VAT bill.
The Independent TD refused to answer questions from the Members' Interests Committee on a timeline of the scandal – from when he under-declared tax for his construction business – until he reached a settlement.
Mr. Wallace answered only two of seven questions put to him, claiming the committee was acting outside its remit.
Committee Chairman Thomas Pringle said he would refer the matter back to the Dáil (Irish Parliament) because he is unable to confirm if the Independent TD came clean about the tax dodge before being elected.

More than just another politician, Donald Rumsfeld has been a renaissance man in service of the United States for the past 50+ years. It is easy to dismiss his conservative politics and think him one dimensional but that would miss the amazing variety of roles he has served in the past 6 decades. He served as a Navy pilot and then a flight instructor after attending Princeton University, eventually achieving the rank of Captain. His initial exposure...

(CNN) -- There is always a reason to party, and Africa, with its rich cultural diversity, could be described as a festival continent. But while music festivals like Mali's Festival au Desert and Morocco's Mawazine are well known to international travelers, Africa offers much more, celebrating everything from rose harvests to religious saints.
Every year in August, the little township of Maralal in Kenya's Samburu district comes alive. This is where the International Maralal Camel Derby is held -- a competition between both professional and amateur camel jockeys.
The festival takes place over three days and originally started to promote peace among the different local tribes. Riders from different tribes come together to enjoy the party, and foreign visitors have described it as something like a version of a European music festival.
In the last few years, the festival has become more popular among tourists, and is now attracting foreign participants too.
Whether you're there for the shorter 10 km amateur race or the 42 km marathon, this is a festival that suits everyone, as even kids can try to ride a camel. Lonely Planet author Stuart Butler has traveled extensively through Africa and visited the festival in 2011. He recommends that visitors see the amateur race.
"It's more interesting to watch, because anyone can go and do it. Lots of people have never been on a camel in their life," Butler says. Since it's a festival, there are also many other activities going on, such as traditional local dances, arts and craft and of course -- parties.
Ethiopia's most colorful festival, Timkat, or Timket, is a Christian three-day event held every year from January 18 to 20. It is held throughout the country and celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River.
The best place to witness it is in the former imperial capital of Gonder, where the main event takes place at Fasiladas' Bath. This is where the royal family used to bathe, and is now only filled up with water before the festival.
On the eve of Timkat, the Tabot, a model of the Ark of the Covenant, is carried by a priest in a procession to the bath, where the water is blessed.
"After the priest has blessed the water, everyone jumps in," says Butler. "I have never seen tourists join in, but everyone is allowed to."
Pilgrims come from miles away to celebrate Timkat, and to pray and be blessed.
"Anyone interested in the culture of the Ethiopia would be there," says Butler. "You do feel like you're going back in time and it feels like you're witnessing something that could be from the European medieval times."
The Festival of Roses is held annually in May, depending on the timing of the rose harvest.
The region close to the High Atlas Mountains supports a big rose-growing industry. The sweet-smelling flowers are the lifeblood of the small town called El-Kelaâ M'Gouna, where the festival takes place.
The town is famous for the vast landscape of pink Persian roses that stretch out within the oases of the Dadès Valley, also referred to as the Valley of Roses.
Each year, around 20,000 people visit the Festival of Roses, which is a three-day celebration full of joy, good food, dancing and singing, as well as a carnival procession and the crowning of a "Miss Rose," who will be the queen reigning over that year's crop.
"Everyone is wearing roses, in their hair, behind their hair; people throw rose petals and there are roses all over the streets," says Butler. He says it isn't too well known to people outside Morocco and recommends combining a visit to the festival with hiking the Atlas Mountains.
Morocco is a predominantly Islamic country and celebrates many Muslim festivals throughout the year. The Ben Aissa festival is the country's largest moussem, which means "honoring of saint" and has its roots in Sufism -- often described as the mystical side of Islam.
The festival takes place in the Sidi ben Aïssa mausoleum in the northern city of Meknès, and this moussem honors the Aissawa brotherhood and its founder, Sidi Mohamed Ben Aissa.
The religious and mystical brotherhood was founded in the 15th or 16th century and the Aissawa were known for their spiritual music and their ceremonies where people dance themselves into ecstatic trances and ate practically anything, even glass, while in a trance.
In recent times, the festival has become less about the glass-eating and more about the cultural events. One of the most spectacular attractions is the Fantasia, where horses charge at full gallop with their riders firing rifles.
The Ben Aissa moussem also features medieval displays, singing and dancing -- and music is performed in extended sessions.
"It can be eye opening if you don't know much of Islam," says Butler, remembering his visit to the festival. "My impression of Islamic festivals is that they are quite sober, with a very serious eye to it. But around the very serious side, there's a real carnival atmosphere."
This festival takes place in January and is dependent on the Islamic calendar, but is always on the day before the birthday of Prophet Mohammed.
Voodoo (or vodun) has been an official religion in Benin since the 1990s. Since then, there has been an annual festival in its honor.
Voodoo originates in West Africa and followers believe in one supreme being and other lesser divine beings, and that the world of the living and the world of the dead are intertwined.
The Voodoo Festival takes place every January in the city of Ouidah, the historic center of voodoo worship, with main festivities located on the beach.
It's Benin's most colorful and vibrant event, featuring voodoo dolls, horse racing on the beach, as well as dancing and drinking.
The festival starts with the supreme priest ceremony, where a goat is slaughtered in honor of the spirits. It's also famous for the drinking of gin, which can come in handy for the faint-hearted.

Installing from Source
(this page could use some work; any updates to flesh it out more, technical corrections, and formatting fixes are appreciated!)
It's a bit more challenging to get this working from source than it is to use the binary packages . If you just want to things out, then using the packages are probably the best way to go. If you want to help with development, great! Here's how:
1. Start with a Fedora Core Test 3 or Rawhide installation. Other distributions may work as well, but in particular you need to have modular X installed.
2. Get and install the latest GL protocol headers. You need glproto-1.4.5, or glproto-1.4.4 with this patch or glproto-1.4.3 with this patch. You can get glproto from CVS at
:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs/xorg in the GL directory of the proto module:
3. Get and install the latest Xorg server code. You can get this from CVS at
:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs/xorg. Check out the module xserver. This will give you the latest code now that AIGLX has been merged.
4. Get and install mesa from CVS at
:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs/mesa in the Mesa module of the mesa_6_4_branch. You'll need to add the tfd patch from here . You can also get Mesa HEAD from CVS as the AIGLX related GL changes have been merged in.
5. Get and install libcm from CVS at
:pserver:email@example.com:/cvs/gnome in the libcm module.
6. Get and install metacity from CVS at
:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs/gnome in the metacity module. Make sure you pass --enable-compositor to ./configure.
After you've done the above, and restarted your Xserver you just need to turn on the compositor: gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager --type bool true
and your done!

If you're in the know, you've already gathered that success is more about the brain than ever before. Cognitive neuroscience has revealed and continues to expose the incredible capacities of the human brain, particularly as they relate to success and optimization. When it comes to your professional reputation, having others chatting it up about your super successful brain should be the goal. Here are four brain strategies that people who consistently grasp success claim as their own—and you can, too.
First, develop an Opportunity Radar. An Opportunity Radar is a successful person's ability to recognize non-traditional paths or circumstances leading to positive outcomes. How do you do that? Make sacrifices to be in the right place at the right time, don't let your confidence rest only in your salary, don't just think outside of the box—create your own boxes, some of which you may never use, but that's OK. You can either stand around in long line to ride the success Ferris Wheel, or figure out how you can build your own thrilling ride by finding the right non-traditional opportunity. Of course, getting on that wild ride may take some nerve. Truly successful brains have risk management figured out to a degree as well. Read on.
You'll need to calibrate your Optimal Risk Gauge. Successful people know when and how to take risk and they most likely learned much of what they know about risk by doing things the hard way. We're not just talking entrepreneurial risk, but all kinds of risks: time, relationships, financial, creative. Research amply explains that too little or too much risk leads to dissatisfying failure, but a moderate level of risk appropriately challenges us so we remain motivated, confident, and leave plenty of room for gaining knowledge and insight while we avoid stagnation. That means you'll need to find comfort outside of your comfort zone, take inventory of your risk and avoidance patterns, and closely examine what you believe about yourself and your ability to rebound when a plan fails. Are you a renegade or an ostrich? What if you're new at taking risks altogether? Don't panic. If you've got room for professional growth, knowledge and skill, you're still positioned well to reach success.
Your Talent Meter, the third factor, will help you unfold a critical part of your success story. You've got to have talent, regardless of how you get it. What is sadder than sad is someone believing they're doing a particular task well and in reality, they aren't even coming close to being competent (think "American Idol" audition reel here). Academia refers to this pitiful insight as the Dunning-Kruger effect, also known as the Double Whammy of Incompetence. Accomplished people have lively Talent Meters that are always assessing their knowledge and skills, informing them about their success potential from day to day. Knowing your strengths, but even more importantly knowing your weaknesses and not fearing them, is vital to your success. In business world circles, it can be a career-branding faux pas to affiliate with failure, lacking knowledge, or skill deficits. That said, those people who embrace success consistently have their Talent Meters turned on 24/7. They are constantly learning, gathering information, watching for mentors, practicing, reading and rereading, evaluating personal and professional insufficiencies, and fearlessly doing something about all of them when they turn up on the short end of the talent stick. Even better, successful brains will still have room left to spare once they are jammed with new information and skills.
Speaking of information, it's common to hear the expression of being on "information overload." To meet with success, your brain needs a Focus Laser, the fourth critical ingredient to a science-focused, success-attaining strategy recipe. A Focus Laser defines much of what your brain is about: attention, intention, motivation, distraction. Successful people are able to use their brains to lock onto a goal in the future and not let other factors distract them from it. Culturally, we could also say we are on "opportunity overload" and fear missing out on something that could possibly be life-changing, even if we don't know what it is yet. The successful brain stays focused. That means saying no to oncoming opportunities unless they relate to the goal, reducing your commitment load at work and home when possible, learning a prioritization system based on your goal
and personal value systems (and use it), sticking relatively close to budgets, and throw multitasking out the window because your brain isn't wired for it.
Research is handing over the owner's manual to our brain at a robust pace, one section at a time. Let's admit it, name droppers like to talk about their latest e-gadget, but they'll be talking about your most efficient gadget once you start using it to its fullest. The best part? You already own it—your brain.

Cloverfield: Special Edition (UK - DVD R2)
Chris Gould saw it! Well some of it. The camera-work was very shaky you see...
Rob (Michael Stahl-David) has just landed a large promotion to Vice President of a Japanese corporation, and his brother Jason (Mike Vogel) and future sister-in-law Lily (Jessica Lucas) decide to throw him a surprise going-away party to celebrate his success. Rob's best friend Hud (T.J. Miller) scores the job of filming testimonials at the party, if he can keep his eyes off of attractive party-goer Marlena (Lizzy Caplan) for long enough. Things are going well until Mike's lifelong friend and unrequited love Beth (Odette Yustman) arrives with a new boyfriend in tow, at which point she has a big bust up with Rob and storms out, leaving him to retire to the roof with Jason and Hud to sort his head out.
While they're up on the roof the guys experience strange tremors before seeing a large explosion off in the distance. They head downstairs to meet up with the girls before venturing into the New York streets. Then something throws the Statue of Liberty's head at them. Then the Empire State Building collapses. It very quickly becomes apparent that something has attacked the city, but what? Shortly afterwards Rob receives a garbled, panicked voicemail from Beth, and so he sets out across the warzone that was New York City in an against-all-odds bid to rescue her.
In my experience Cloverfield is a film that polarises audiences. It would seem that you either buy into the premise that someone, anyone, would bother to carry a camera around with them while a thirty-five story monster rips the city to shreds, or you don't. I did, and I found the film to be an entertaining ride that kept me on the edge of my seat for much of its (short) running time. Some have complained that we don't get to know the characters, or that they're not likeable enough, but this is supposed to be 'found footage'—a document of one group's experiences while just trying to survive the night. Sure Hud is annoying, but don't we all know someone like him, and haven't we all done dumb things in the name of love?
I'm not going to tear the film apart, because to be honest it's been done by far more qualified people than me (our own Gabe Powers for a start). All I know is that Cloverfield stirred some kind of survival instinct within me. I was genuinely tense during the more chaotic moments and I jumped during the creepy parasite attack sequences (even if they were a bit of a cheap scare). To tell you the truth I actually found the whole experience quite nerve-wracking. While the effect is somewhat lessened by the transition to the small screen, Cloverfield is still a decent thrill ride with some half-decent performances by a young, up-and-coming cast (including Jessica Lucas of CSI fame).
Cloverfield's choice of 'hand-held' filming style doesn't lend itself to creating the greatest looking DVD presentation in the world, but it's not too bad. Presented at roughly 1.78:1 and anamorphically enhanced, I felt the transfer did a good job of recreating the cinematic experience. Although the film was technically shot in HD, it's supposed to look like it was shot on a camcorder, which actually works in this standard definition release's favour (especially after it's been scaled for display on a 1080p TV). Applying any sort of conventional criticism to such a highly stylised picture is redundant, because it's meant to look erratic, poorly focussed, grainy, badly framed and such. It looks all of those things, but it also looks like a perfectly acceptable rendition of the source material. Personally, I can't wait to see it on Blu-ray, which should sharpen things up a touch.
What really made Cloverfield such an enjoyable ride at the cinema was the fantastic, all-encompassing soundtrack. I can't remember the last time a film pulled me into its world so completely by virtue of sound design. At times I honestly thought I was caught in the middle of the carnage as the military battled the monster, and although this disc's Dolby Digital 5.1 track isn't quite as impressive, it's still a pretty decent effort. One of my favourite moments was when our heroes were trapped on opposite sides of the street as the army battled the monster. You don't really see much of either, but you can hear the gunfire, heavy artillery and roars from every angle, just as you would if you were in the situation yourself. There's no traditional score as such, but the ambient effects create a kind of 'real-world' score to accompany the on-screen action. It's effective stuff, if not as 'complete' as a traditional score.
Of course the track requires you to buy into yet another of the film's conceits—that a hand-held camcorder can produce 5.1 audio. Obviously it makes no sense for anything other than dramatic purposes, but a Mono soundtrack just wouldn't be the same. Hey, if you can get over the whole 'found footage' thing, this should be a breeze.
First up we have a solo commentary track from director Matt Reeves. I'm not normally a fan of technical solo tracks, but this one was actually pretty good. Dead air is kept to a minimum and the director manages to make some interesting observations, rather than just wittering on. On the negative side, while Reeves provides a lot of technical background information, he reveals very little about the story or the monster. I'm an impatient sort of chap, and I want more info now dammit!
'Supplemental Files' is a branching feature that displays a battery indicator at random intervals throughout the film. If you click enter when it appears you'll be shown one of two things: a behind the scenes clip about some facet of the production, or one of the viral marketing videos used to promote the movie. If you're one of the people who spent hours trawling websites looking for clues about the film, this is for you.
'Document 01.18.08: The Making of Cloverfield' runs for a little over twenty-seven minutes and covers the genesis of the film through to the final days of shooting. Abrams, cast and crew are on hand to talk us through the proceedings, albeit in a fairly superficial manner. There's not a lot here that you won't have already heard in the commentary, and much of what is on display overlaps the other features, but there is quite a lot of behind-the-scenes footage.
'Coverfield Visual Effects' runs for a little over twenty minutes and briefly covers all of the film's major set-pieces. I was actually pretty surprised by how seamless the majority of the CGI was, especially the digital backdrops and buildings. I honestly couldn't tell where the sets ended and the CGI began, not to mention the fact that the whole integration into the New York surroundings was excellent.
'I Saw It! It's Alive! It's Huge!' is a short technical featurette on 'Clover's' design, and includes interview footage with those responsible. It's followed by 'Clover Fun', which is a blooper reel consisting of the usual actors goofing around and SFX not working as intended kind of stuff.
There are four deleted scenes and two alternate endings, all with optional commentary from director Matt Reeves. Unfortunately all of the deleted scenes occur before 'Clover' shows up, so that means more of the opening party. The alternate endings provide only subtle differences from the theatrical ending, but one of those differences is actually quite important (if you catch it).
As an experiment, Cloverfield is very interesting, but as a film it has a few obvious shortcomings. People usually like, nay expect, happy resolution, but Cloverfield provides none. Instead we're left with a bleak ending and more questions than answers. However, if you're after something that challenges your usual cinemagoing expectations you could do a lot worse. Be warned, however, that it's not for everyone. If you can't get over the hand-held plot device, you'll find it very difficult to accept anything that follows.
Although you really need to see Cloverfield at the cinema to get the full effect, this special edition DVD set is a decent representation of the theatrical experience. Solid A/V coupled with an interesting array of supplemental features make for an enjoyable time, even if the bonus material looks better on paper than it actually is. I can't help thinking that there's another edition somewhere down the line with more input from J. J. Abrams, perhaps when the inevitable sequel stomps its way into town.

So basically this is exactly the same as the R1 release except in two discs and with an extra branching feature. Ha!
What did you expect?

I liked the film quite a bit, but I'm waiting to see if there's going to be another edition in the future. What am I talking about, "if"...

yep, same as R1 contents except it seems that the easter eggs are easier to find in R2. The cover art is cool.
If by Easter eggs you mean the branching features, they're not the eggs. The eggs are listed separately (I've found four so far).
Is there anything on the special edition that explains just what happened to the girl after she got bit? Did she explode, did something burst out or was she killed?

For the record you can buy camcorders with a built in Dolby 5.1 creator.
Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 has one amongst others.

I kind of adored this movie! Loved the downer ending, loved the suspense... of course, Hud got to be a little grating, but that's life. Also, without his constant interjections, there wouldn't be a lot of narrative or things at which to laugh.

Makes a change, most of the best discs are from the US and theres a much bigger catalogue of titles compared to region 2(which is why multi-region players and importing are popular here).

both versions have the exact same features, only difference is they split the R2 into two discs for some weird reason.

PAL has more resolution so a film takes up more space than the NTSC equivalent.

I thought it was also the plethora of subtitles that took up space, nothing like popping in a PAL disc bought from the local HMV and being ask to choose your language (in english), hmmm wait a minute let me think.

They're a few meg each, tops, so not really. Even if you have 20-odd subtitle tracks you're still only looking at about 100 meg. It the 100-odd lines of additional resolution that does it.

I know I asked about that branching feature in another thread but would you say that it's worth waiting till 9th June to buy the R2 over the R1 for that feature alone? Plus, I really can't stand that R2 2-disc artwork, I much prefer the 1-disc art. Oh and play.com are still saying the 2-disc art is their esclusive cover, so I wonder if something different might pop up on their site this week!?

Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid commonly used to fight germs. Hydrogen peroxide poisoning occurs when large amounts of the liquid come in contact with the lungs or eyes.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Hydrogen peroxide
Where Found
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Hair bleach
- Some contact lens disinfectants
Note: Household hydrogen peroxide has a 3% concentration.That means it contains 97% water and 3% hydrogen peroxide.
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Breathing difficulty (if large concentrations were swallowed)
- Body aches
- Burns in the mouth and throat
- Eye burns
- Seizures (rare)
- Stomach swelling
- Temporary white color to the skin
- Vomiting
Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patients age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patients vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may need a tube down the throat into the stomach (gastric tube) to relieve gas pressure.
Expectations (prognosis)
Most contact with household strength hydrogen peroxide is relatively harmless. Inappropriate exposure to industrial strength hydrogen peroxide can be dangerous.

Maybe not completely original. They would have been changed to the 2.02 valves. I am interested in buying. Do you have digital photos available?Thanks,Bill
I've got a set of 291 2.02 1.60 heads with matching cast dates. I believe they are F27. is there any way to tell if they were originally 2.02 1.60?
