As a database professional one of the things that we should be familiar with is the use of indexes. In SQL Server an index helps to improve query performance – when properly implemented. There are some penalties in play when an index is created. These penalties are typically associated with the insert update and delete operations. Other penalties might revolve around a poorly defined index that may cause more work to be done for a given query. As a database professional, it is within our best interest to strike a harmony between benefit and penalty through analysis and tuning of these indexes. We want the benefits to offset the penalties for the index to be of worth to the query and system.
In SQL Server we have been given an array of tools over time to help us with this effort. Microsoft gave us the Index Wizard in SQL 2000. Then we got a decent upgrade with the Database Tuning Advisor in SQL 2005. Microsoft has been attempting to continue to make a better more agile product for the database professional so s/he can spend time doing other equally important duties. It appears that we now have a new tool to help us do just that.
First, let's recap the predecessors.
Index Tuning Wizard
This tool was born in SQL 2000. The intent was to give the Database Professional a view into the big picture. Not just look at one index for one query isolated from other tables, views, and queries. When used properly, this tool could give the professional a decent idea of the indexes that were needed throughout the system. A common faux-pas was a blanket acceptance of the proposed indexes – good or bad. Yes, this tool did recommend many bad indexes. You can learn more about the tool if you would like, from here.
Database Engine Tuning Advisor
This tool was introduced by Microsoft with SQL 2005. DTA made significant advancements over the predecessor. The main purpose is much the same as the Index Tuning Wizard. DTA did produce more reliable results (IMHO) and seemed to be more efficient at doing it. Unfortunately, there was still the possibility of getting some bad recommendations. And yes, the bigger issue is that there was blanket acceptance of all indexes. You can learn more about this tool here. This tool is available in SQL 2005, 2008 and 2008 R2.
GAIHA (pronounced like GAIA / GAYA)
GAIHA is Genetic Algorithm Index Heuristic Automation. This name was chosen for multiple reasons, one of which is the pronunciation similarity with Gaya. For some Gaya infers "enlighten." The hope for this product is to really help the database reach that next level and appear to be enlightened because it runs that much more seamlessly and effortlessly.
Rumor has it that GAIHA is on the docket to be released with a future version of SQL Server. This tool has the same prime directive as the predecessors. As the name implies though – it's like DTA on steroids. Furthermore, it is entirely automated. Just like you can enable auto-update of statistics you will be able to enable GAIHA. Much the same as new statistics get created based on data usage and data volume – indexes will auto-create based on query usage.
The automation of GAIHA will use advanced algorithms and heuristics. Think of the heuristics as the recording of usage patterns and the system learning how the system is used over and over again. Then it triggers an algorithm to run hundreds of generations of possible indexes and then picking one that would be the best fit. Your query that ran in ten seconds today will run in ten milliseconds tomorrow. What's more, all you did was use the system.
Is there the potential for bad indexes – yes. Would you still be able to create your own indexes – yes. If enabled, would this be entirely maintenance free – no. I don't imagine it to be entirely maintenance free. Take the auto update on your statistics for example. Though you may have that enabled, you still have to do manual statistics updates on occasion. I envision the same kind of behavior in the future.
There you have it. The tools keep getting better and better. This is true especially when the next generation tool is entirely fictional. There is no such tool and it was completely derived from imagination. Would it be nice to have – sure. I envision the DTA being many magnitudes better if it were recreated to be similar to a product by Quest called TOAD. I liked the feature in TOAD from many moons ago that allowed me to input a query and see it refactored 100 different ways with varying performance gains. This would be extremely useful for many Database Professionals.

Happy April Fools.

What is chronic fatigue syndrome/ME?
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)/ME is a condition that causes marked long-term fatigue and other symptoms which are not caused by any other known medical condition.
- CFS stands for chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic means persistent or long-term.
- ME stands for myalgic encephalomyelitis. Myalgic means muscle aches or pains. Encephalomyelitis means inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
However, there is controversy about the nature of this condition. There is no test to diagnose the condition. The diagnosis is made in people who have a certain set of symptoms (which can vary in their type and severity). There is even controversy about what to call this condition.
- The term CFS is often used by doctors. This is because the main symptom is often fatigue and the condition is chronic (persistent). Also, there is no evidence of inflammation in the brain or spinal cord which is implied by the term encephalomyelitis.
- The term ME is the preferred term by many people with the condition. Some people with this condition feel that the word fatigue is an everyday word which does not reflect the different and severe type of fatigue that they have. Also, although fatigue to some extent occurs in most cases, it may not be the main or only symptom.
- Some people believe that there are two separate conditions – CFS and ME. Other people believe that the two conditions are the same – but symptoms can vary.
Until these issues are resolved, many people now use the umbrella term of CFS/ME.
What causes chronic fatigue syndrome/ME?
The cause of CFS/ME is not known. There are various theories – but none has been proved. A popular theory is that a viral infection may trigger the condition. It is well-known that fatigue is a symptom that can persist for a short time after having certain viral infections. For example, infection with the glandular fever virus or the influenza virus can cause fatigue for several weeks after other symptoms have gone. However, most people recover within a few weeks from the fatigue that follows known viral infections.
Even if a viral infection is a trigger of CFS/ME, it is not clear why symptoms persist when there is no evidence of persisting infection. Also, the symptoms of many people with CFS/ME do not start with a viral infection.
Factors that are thought to contribute to some people developing CFS/ME include:
- Inherited genetic susceptibility (it is more common in some families).
- Viral infections such as glandular fever.
- Exhaustion and mental stress.
- Depression.
- A traumatic event such as bereavement, divorce or redundancy.
The following factors are thought to make CFS/ME worse:
- Recurring viral or bacterial infections.
- Not being active enough, or even being too active.
- Stress.
- Poor diet.
- Being socially isolated and/or feeling frustrated and depressed.
- Environmental pollution.
It is hoped that research will clarify the cause of CFS/ME in the future.
Who gets chronic fatigue syndrome/ME?
CFS/ME can affect anyone. It is estimated that CFS/ME affects about 1 in 300 people in the UK, possibly more. It is about three times as common in women as in men. The most common age for it to develop is in the early twenties to mid-forties. In children the most common age for it to develop is 13-15 years, but it can develop at an earlier age.
How is chronic fatigue syndrome/ME diagnosed?
There is no test that proves that you have CFS/ME. A doctor will usually diagnose CFS/ME based on your symptoms. Some tests are usually done to rule out other causes of your fatigue or other symptoms. For example, blood tests may be done to rule out anaemia, an underactive thyroid gland, and liver and kidney problems. All these tests are normal in people with CFS/ME.
The medical definition of CFS/ME states that symptoms should have lasted for at least four months in adults and three months in children and young adults.
What are the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome/ME?
The onset of symptoms can be fairly sudden (over a few days or so), or more gradual.
The most common main symptom is persistent fatigue (tiredness). The fatigue is of new onset. That is, it has not been lifelong but started at a point in time and causes you to limit your activities compared with what you were used to. It is often felt to be both physical and mental fatigue, and said to be overwhelming, or to be like no other type of fatigue. For example:
- It is very different to everyday tiredness (such as after a day's work).
- It is not eased much by rest.
- It is not due to, or like, tiredness following overexertion.
- It is not due to muscle weakness.
- It is not loss of motivation or pleasure which occurs in people who are depressed.
The fatigue is often made worse by activity. This is called post-exertional malaise. However, the post-exertional malaise usually does not develop until the day following the activity. It then takes several days to improve.
Other symptoms
In addition to fatigue, one or more of the following symptoms are common (but most people do not have them all). In some people, one of the following symptoms is more dominant than the fatigue and is the main symptom:
- Mental (cognitive) difficulties such as poor concentration, poor short-term memory, reduced attention span, poor memory for recent events, difficulty to plan or organise your thoughts, difficulty finding the right words to say, sometimes feeling disorientated.
- Sleeping difficulties. For example, early waking, being unable to sleep, too much sleep, disrupted sleep/wake patterns.
- Pains – most commonly, muscular pains (myalgia), joint pains and headaches.
- Recurring sore throat, often with tenderness of the nearby lymph glands.
- A range of other symptoms has been reported in some cases. For example, dizziness, nausea (feeling sick) and palpitations.
Physical or mental exertion will often make your symptoms worse.
Severity of symptoms
The severity of CFS/ME can roughly be divided into three levels:
Mild cases – you can care for yourself and can do light domestic tasks, but with difficulty. You are still likely to be able to do a job, but may often take days off work. In order to remain in work you are likely to have stopped most leisure and social activities. Weekends or other days off from work are used to rest in order to cope.
Moderate cases – you have reduced mobility and are restricted in most activities of daily living. The level of ability and severity of symptoms often varies from time to time (peaks and troughs). You are likely to have stopped work and require rest periods. Night-time sleep tends to be poor and disturbed.
Severe cases – you are able to carry out only minimal daily tasks such as face washing and cleaning teeth. You are likely to have severe difficulties with some mental processes such as concentrating. You may be wheelchair-dependent for mobility and may be unable to leave your home except on rare occasions, and usually have severe prolonged after-effects from effort. You may spend most of your time in bed. You are often unable to tolerate any noise, and are generally very sensitive to bright light.
Note: most cases are mild or moderate.
What is the treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome/ME?
There is no known cure for CFS/ME although treatment may help to ease symptoms. You are likely to be referred to a specialist who will be able to offer you support and treatment. Treatments that may be considered include the following.
Management of your symptoms
Painkillers may help if muscle or joint pains are troublesome symptoms. Eating little and often may help any nausea. Specific diets have not been shown to be beneficial.
Depression can occur in people with CFS/ME (as it is with many other chronic diseases). Depression can make many symptoms worse. Antidepressants may be prescribed if depression develops.
Management of your quality of life and function
Managing your sleep
It is likely you will be given advice about your sleep. Any changes to your sleep pattern (for example, having too little, or even too much, sleep) may actually make your fatigue worse. This includes sleeping in the daytime, which should ideally be avoided. Any changes to your sleep pattern should be done gradually.
Managing rest
Rest (rather than actual sleep) is very beneficial. You should introduce rest periods into your daily routine. These should ideally be limited to 30 minutes at a time and be a period of relaxation.
Relaxation can help to improve pain, sleep problems and any stress or anxiety you may have. There are various relaxation techniques (such as guided visualisation or breathing techniques) which you may find useful when there are built into your rest periods.
It is very important that you have a well-balanced diet. You should try to avoid any foods and drinks that you are sensitive to. Eating small, regular meals which contain some starchy foods is often beneficial.
Specific treatments
One or more of the following may be recommended as part of your treatment:
Graded exercise therapy
Graded exercise therapy (GET) means a gradual, progressive increase in exercise or physical activity, such as walking or swimming. The level of exercise recommended will depend upon your symptoms and current level of activity. Graded exercise is a structured treatment during which you are closely monitored. It is not the same as going to the gym or doing more exercise by yourself. It should be tailored to suit each individual case. Ideally, it should be supervised by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist who is used to treating people with CFS/ME.
Graded exercise can improve symptoms for some people. However, some people report that they do not find it beneficial.
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Cognitive therapy is based on the idea that certain ways of thinking can fuel certain health problems. Behavioural therapy aims to change any behaviours that are harmful or not helpful. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a combination of cognitive and behavioural therapy. The use of CBT does not imply that the cause of an illness is psychological. CBT is one of the most effective treatments for CFS/ME.
Although CBT does not aim to cure the condition, it helps to improve symptoms, coping strategies and day-to-day functioning. For people with CFS/ME the core components of CBT would normally include: energy/activity management, establishment of a sleep routine, goal setting, and psychological support.
Pacing is sometimes called adaptive pacing therapy (APT). Pacing is a strategy in which people with CFS/ME are encouraged to achieve a balance between rest and activity. This usually involves living within the limitations caused by the illness, but having some limited types of activity alternating with periods of rest. However, although some people find this useful, there is currently no research to support the use of pacing for the treatment of people with CFS/ME.
So which specific treatment is most effective?
A large research trial was published in 2011 which compared the three treatment options listed above. 641 people with CFS/ME (but who were not bed-bound) took part in the trial. They were split into four groups. One group received standard medical care alone. The other three groups received standard medical care plus APT, or CBT, or GET. After one year the results showed that 76 in 100 people had markedly improved with CBT, and 80 in 100 people had markedly improved with GET. With normal medical care, 65 in 100 people had markedly improved but this was the same for the APT group. The conclusion of this study was that CBT and GET were the most effective treatments. Also, that APT was unlikely to give any extra benefit to normal medical care.
It was also worth noting in this trial that all the treatments had limited effects. Yes, it was found that a good number of people improved (had less severe symptoms) with each treatment. However, only about 3 in 10 people treated with CBT or GET in this trial (the treatments found to be most effective) recovered fully.
General support
Depending on the severity of illness, other support may be needed. For example, carers, nursing support, equipment and adaptations to the home to help overcome disability.
If you are employed, your doctor will be able to advise you about whether you should take time off work. And, if you take time off work, when you may be ready to go back to work. It may be that you need to work doing slightly different hours or even with different duties. If you have an occupational health department at work, they are likely to be involved with you also regarding work and going back to work if you take time off.
Complementary treatments
As there is only limited success with conventional treatments, it is understandable that people turn to complementary practitioners. Many people with CFS/ME find various therapies helpful. However, there is not enough research evidence to support the use of complementary therapies for the treatment of CFS/ME.
There is also insufficient evidence to recommend the use of supplements (for example, vitamins).
Managing setbacks (relapses)
It can be common to have setbacks when symptoms become worse for a while. These can have various triggers – for example, poor sleep, infection or stress.
Your doctor may discuss with you strategies which may help during a setback. These may include relaxation techniques, talking with your family, and maintaining your activity and exercise levels, if possible. However, it may be necessary for you to reduce or even stop some of your activities and increase the amount of rest you have during a setback.
Following a setback you should usually be able gradually to return to your previous activity level.
What is the outlook (prognosis)?
In most cases, the condition has a fluctuating course. There may be times when symptoms are not too bad, and times when symptoms flare up and become worse (a setback). The long-term outlook is variable:
- Most people with CFS/ME will show some improvement over time, especially with treatment. Some people recover in less than two years, while others remain ill for many years. However, health and functioning rarely return completely to previous levels.
- Some people will continue to have symptoms or have relapses of their symptoms.
- In some cases, the condition is severe and/or persists for many years. Those who have been affected for several years seem less likely to recover.
- The outlook in children and young people is usually better.

text: Whoa. Whoa. Have you listened to Kelly Rowland's "Kisses Down Low"? When I first saw the title, I thought it would be some dumb song about how much she loves to give head to her boyfriend, but no — it's all about how much she loves to get head and it's awesome. For some reason, the thing that blogs are talking about is how the video is sort of reminiscent of Beyonce's "Countdown" (I can see a little Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" in there as well), but who cares? There's a song about cunnilingus on the Billboard Top 40. Finally, something to counter the billion songs that Flo Rida has written about blowjobs.

Please click on the screenshots for a bigger more detailed view! I left the borders off so they're better in a new tab.
When I first entered Cliving in the Norcrofts region of Rohan during Beta, I stopped at the gates awed by the beautiful view of the place for a long time, knowing this exact spot would be the perfect background for an outfit. After speaking with the Thane and learning that Cliving was well guarded on the hill with its high walls, it got me thinking. What if it was attacked though? What other reasons would the people have to be confident that they were protected in Cliving.
Thus began the brainchild of the Champion of Cliving. Wearing her white and green colours, if any band of organized Orcs thought to take on the challenge of attacking the town of Cliving, they would be in for a surprise when they came face to face with the Champion.
It didn't take me long to level my Captain to 85, somewhere between 12-15 hours. The best part about it was I felt like I wasn't questing to simply level, I found myself losing sleep because I simply couldn't stop playing and questing in this beautiful region, grinning whenever I was on the War-Steed. I think a large portion of the excitement is seeing how the released version differed to the Beta, how all the giant floating boxes turned into wagons and seeing if trying to use my War-Steed in towns would result in me dying or ending up in impossible places.
I'm in love with this expansion and very much hope that you guys are too, and I cannot wait to start my next character in Rohan already and see how they differ on the War-Steeds.
Head: Visage of the Bear [Lotro Store] ~Dark Green~
Sholders: Zanúm's Tarnished Shoulderguards [Quest reward – East Rohan] ~Dark Green~
Back: Snowy Hoodless Cloak [Barter piece – Winter Festival] ~Dark Green~

Judging by the name of the boots they may be from the epic volume, so if need be when I run my other alts through Rohan I will find out and correct this, I can't remember where they were from now.
P.S. I bought the Soundtrack for the game too while I was questing and its fantastic!

Harrisburg – Thanks to a new law, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the Department of Health are expanding public access to birth and death records starting Wednesday, Feb. 15. The public can access the records online or in person at the Pennsylvania State Archives.
In December, Governor Tom Corbett signed Act 110 to make birth certificates available to the public 105 years after issuance and death certificates available 50 years after issuance. Beginning Feb. 15, births from 1906 and deaths from 1906 to 1961 will become available. One year of births and one year of deaths will be added each subsequent year. Records prior to 1906 are held at the county level.
"We are pleased that Pennsylvania's older birth and death certificates are now open to the public," said State Archivist David A. Haury. "We share the excitement of the genealogists and other researchers who will now be able to use these records to learn about their families and communities."
To access the records online, go to www.health.state.pa.us and click on "Birth and Death Certificates." Indices will be available online in PDF format and are searchable by name of individual and year of event. Once a record is identified, the state file number will be needed for the application to request a non-certified copy of the certificate from the Department of Health.
For in-person access, visit the State Archives at 350 North St., Harrisburg. Visitors wishing to see original records will first be provided access to the Department of Health's online indices to identify the state file number. Once the file number is determined, patrons will use the Archives' normal search room procedures to have the record pulled for them.
Before searching online or in person, researchers are urged to be prepared by knowing the year of the event, the spelling of the name they are searching for, and/or the county of the birth or death.
Access to indices is free; however, a $3 processing fee will continue to be charged for non-certified copies ordered online through Department of Health. Copying fees may apply at the State Archives, as well as research fees for search requests received via mail or e-mail.
The Department of Health's Division of Vital Records is working on fully digitizing and indexing all certificates to allow for easier online record research. These changes will be rolled out within the next year. Researchers will eventually be able to search records by first name only, year of occurrence, county, or even by parents' names.
For more information visit www.phmc.state.pa.us or www.health.state.pa.us.

Second time's a charm for resident rocker Kat Perkins on "The Voice," who beat the bottom four odds once again and earned her spot in the semifinals. Artists Delvin Choice, Sisaundra Lewis and Audra McLaughlin weren't so lucky and were eliminated.
No stranger to the last chance performance, Kat donned her typical high-energy rock star persona and sang "Barracuda," by Heart. Her enthusiasm resonated with viewers as Twitter saved her once again, continuing to prove Coach Adam right who said she'd make to the end.
Team Blake's Sisaundra Lewis took the stage to fight for her semifinal spot singing "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" by Carole King. Seeming to belt for her life, the judges were all equally perplexed as to how she could be in the bottom four this week.
U.S. & World
"I couldn't help but wonder why I have to see you standing there right now, "said Shakira. "In a way it's unfair because your voice is so crazy good."
Shakira's last remaining artist, Kristina Merlin was the saved by voters along with Team Usher's last standing artist, Josh Kaufman – immediately adding anxiety for Team Blake and Team Adam, knowing their teams were on the chopping block.
In perhaps a bittersweet moment, Christina Grimmie of Team Adam and Jake Worthington of Team Blake were also saved, which guaranteed that all four of the coaches have at least one artist going into the semifinals. This also guaranteed that either Kat Perkins, Sisaundra Lewis, Audra McLaughlin or Delvin Choice could be on their way home.
After Sisaundra's performance, Blake's female country artist Audra McLaughlin was up next and sang a sassy, attitude-filled performance of "Done," by The Band Perry.
In his plea to save Audra, Blake called on country fans everywhere to vote. "This girl is a world-class vocalist, I want all the country fans around the world to save this girl."
The final artist to compete for a spot in the semifinals was Team Adam's Delvin Choice who took on Bruno Mars' "Young Girls," and the judges seemed dumbfounded that he was even in this desperate position to begin with.
His coach, Adam said, "Nobody in galaxies far beyond this one sound like Delvin," explaining how unique his voice is. Shakira even admitted, "I was rooting for you the whole time."
Along with the last chance performances, the top eight took the stage in two groups to sing together.
Audra McLaughlin, Kristen Merlin, Jake Worthington and Kat Perkins sang "Chainsaw" by The Band Perry. Sisaundra Lewis, Josh Kaufman, and Christina Grimmie sang "Latch" by Disclosure.
Next week the final five will continue to fight for the winning title on "The Voice."
The Voice airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8/7c.

I sure was. At the time of my mastectomy in 2003, I decided on delayed reconstruction and am very glad that I did. There were so many ways it could be done, and I didn't want to make the "wrong" choice.
Eventually, I met with four plastic surgeons, cancelled two surgeries and finally found an amazing procedure that I had performed recently at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. It's called the DIEP flap (short for "deep inferior epigastric perforator flap"). Tummy fat and skin is removed and used to mold a new breast at the mastectomy site through microsurgery. This results in a tummy tuck but no abdominal muscles are sacrificed, and you end up with a firm-looking new breast. (The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute Web sites have more information on the different types of breast reconstruction.)
Since I tested positive for the BRCA2 gene, I also opted for prophylactic removal of my other breast. My tummy was used for both breasts, and the exciting part is that my newly removed breast has been reconstructed with minimal scarring. The DIEP flap may not be the right choice for everyone, but I think it will be good for me.
And I am excited to have two real breasts!
I will keep you informed of how things are going during the healing process. I need to return in a few months for cosmetic touch-ups so I am looking forward to the final result.
Did you feel similar confusion about breast reconstruction? I'm curious about your experiences.
-- Kathy-Ellen

Ignore the fact that it doesn't have a toilet or sinks. At least it's a pretty color!
This room, on the other hand, makes me a little sick to my stomach. I agonized over what Khaki paint to get, because they can come out so different from the little sample card. I thought I was being really safe, because I went with a Waverly color called KHAKI. Well in 2 of my rooms it totally looks purpleish! ugh!
I did make them paint this laundry room twice. First it was red, but looked orange, because they didn't use the gray primer I bought.
So now it's going to be PINK!
It still needs another coat. And those kitchen cabinets are black now. I still need to do some touch up today, but yesterday my sister and Marcus's sister helped me paint them.
Then tomorrow the tile guy is coming and we are getting black and white checker board tile in the kitchen, laundry, and the pretty blue bathroom!
This is going to be Katie's room. She is getting a new light fixture as we speak. Or as we type and read.
It's close though!

Corbeau Sportline RRX Dual Sport Seat
Relax and Recline Driving to Work, Get Rowdy on Weekends
Given the huge number of aftermarket seats, one of them has to be the perfect seat for you. But finding just the right one can be arduous. Do you want high bolstering or low bolstering? Fixed-back seat or reclining seat? And, of course, the hotly debated suspension seat or molded-foam seat?
We suggest erring on the side of comfort. A seat with extremely tall bolstering is too hard to get in and out every day. And unless you have a single-cab truck, you probably want a reclining mechanism. Sitting in traffic in race position for hours on end in a fixed-back seat can get really old. And of course, you don't want a seat that costs too much or wears out prematurely.
Molded-foam seat fans may like Corbeau's new reclining Sportline RRX. Built with high-density injection-molded foam around a powdercoated steel frame. Finding a seat that stays comfortable on a long trip can be a challenge, especially for larger people. We can attest to this seat fitting a 36-inch waist in comfort for an all-day drive.
The Corbeau Sportline RRX is part of the new Sportline and is four-point harness capable. The seat has aggressive lateral bolstering and is made of a high-density injection-molded foam over a steel powdercoated frame. It comes in this one color combination: black vinyl with gray carbon-fiber vinyl contrast. The Sportline RRX weighs 25.85 pounds and has dimensions of 37.5 inches high x 22.0 inches deep x 21.5 inches wide.
Corbeau has bolt-in seat brackets for almost every vehicle you've ever heard of, and many you've never heard. The brackets either completely replace the factory seat bracket or adapt the Corbeau seat to the factory seat bracket. The replacement brackets come standard with a single locking slider, but you can upgrade to double locking sliders.
Certain model seats can sit a little low on the seat bracket or slider, interfering with movement like the reclining mechanism. Corbeau has 1-inch seat spacers to alleviate the problem, if needed.
The Corbeau Sportline RRX seat sits lower than most other seats manufactured by Corbeau. On certain vehicle seat brackets, you may need to use Corbeau's spacers to raise the seat. Another occasional problem, the seat belts on some vehicles bolt to the seat mounts instead of the vehicle floorpan. The Corbeau brackets account for this. On the left of the bracket, you can see the tab that allows the factory belts to be reused with Corbeau's new seat bracket.
Big, tall bolstering for lateral support is great for racing, but can be a little troublesome to climb in and out of in a daily driver. Although the Corbeau Sportline RRX seat is a little deeper than most reclining seats, the bolstering is not so large it causes a major issue when entering or departing the vehicle cab.
This is not a photo color illusion. The color is listed as "gray carbon fiber," but it sure seems to have a blue tint in the gray. Luckily, we like the color combo.
The rear is covered with a black carbon-fiber vinyl.
By looking at the Corbeau Sportline RRX, you sure wouldn't think it can fit a 38-inch waist. However, we can attest to both 36- and a 38-inch-waist individuals fitting in this seat comfortably. In fact, our 36-inch-waisted test dummy took a four-hour ride in these seats and tells us they were comfortable the entire time.

HADDON HEIGHTS (AP) - Authorities say at least two people were injured in a fire that started after an apparent explosion at a multifamily home in southern New Jersey.
It's not yet clear what caused the blast at the three-story residence in Haddon Heights, which occurred around 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Witnesses who live nearby say the blast shook their homes and the subsequent fire destroyed the residence in a matter of minutes.
Haddon Heights City Councilman Steve Berryhill, who lives next door, said his family helped rescue a woman. He said, 'There was a woman on the third floor who ended up on the roof of the porch. She was in shock and cut up.'
Firefighters remained on the scene Saturday evening.

In 2011, Liu Jie, a Chinese photographer based in Beijing, visited and photographed more than 20 villages in the Chinese countryside, documenting one of the more silent but equally poignant externalities of the Chinese economic miracle: the separation of rural families due to urban migration.
In 1949, city dwellers represented 10.6% of China's population. In 2012, that number swelled to 51.27%, making China, for the first time in its civilization, a predominantly urban country. The human costs of such a rapid transformation — within a single generation — are increasingly evident.
"Many children meet their parents once a year or even years, therefore some of them have both physical and psychological problems," says the photographer.
Liu, who spent the summer at NYU as a 2012 Magnum Foundation Human Rights Fellow, was raised in a rural village in Shan Dong Province and is currently based in Beijing, having personally migrated to a city along with his family years prior. Beijing Railway Station, which serves as a gateway for millions of migrants to the capital, is in close proximity to his apartment, giving the photographer a unique view of the daily flood of fresh-faced migrants entering the city.
In Liu's photographs of rural China, each empty chair signifies the absence of a family member — a mother, father, son or daughter — uprooted from their humble homes. There is an overwhelming sense of isolation in these images, of lonely gazes and empty chairs punctuated by the expanse of a rolling landscape that stretches off into the horizon.
In contrast to many images that seek to show the massive scale of China's modernization — and in so doing seek to overwhelm the viewer — Liu's images are quiet and humble. The effect is subtle, intimate, and incredibly heartfelt.
After photographing family members left behind in the countryside, the photographer returned to Beijing and photographed rural migrants in their workspace. In a conceptual twist, Liu reunites family members photographically. Parents, at a construction site or sausage factory, stand beside towering portraits of their children back home, creating a visual contrast—a collision of rural and urban—and a bridging of that chasm of familial separation within a single frame.
Liu Jie is a photographer based in Beijing. In 2012 he was a Magnum Foundation Human Rights Scholar.

I only started taking pictures at the end so sorry for spoilers but YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT BY NOW ANYWAY even if I hadn't til Saturday night.
It was a good fun time, with lots of elbow sex.
And lots of TP-ing of my friend who made the mistake of falling asleep. Then the assholes behind me who stole my prop bag and claimed they "found" it (IN MY HANDS, PERHAPS?) (ok I left it on my seat but still) had the nerve to photobomb this picture. Then I wrote about them on the internet and felt better about myself! Ha-ha!
Also, the photobombing thieves should have had to clean up after everyone, since they like those prop bags so much.
Also, my friends looked rad, and I was like, man, we could totally be a really stylin gang right about now.
Since I'd never seen it before I didn't try a costume, but everyone thought I was dressed up anyway. Like that time my school didn't let anyone wear Halloween costumes but I did anyway because I'm a rebel. and got away with it because everyone thought it was simply one of my outfits because I'm just so QUIRKY!
I went for creepy Virgin Mary/Virgin Suicides vibes because I'm //edgy and because I'm obsessed with this crown Petra gave me in a CROWN EXCHANGE, which I think should become a national event or traveling van or something:
Ain't it a beauty! My eyeliner is Urban Decay and everything else is thrifted. QUIRKY!

*down 2 earth*
Speaking of cultural stereotypes used in teen magazines to tell girls which eyeshadow to wear, you know that thing I'm doing with Jane? If no, here. If yes, it is happening, I'm just not about to go gabbing about it all the time because then you get trapped in these ideas you said long before the bigger idea gets to become a reality and we don't want that. If "yes, I even submitted and wrote you a great email and sent some stuff I'd worked hard on," I would like to extend a long overdue thank you.
We (me, Jane, and one of our editors, so it doesn't sound all vague and creepy and like we're in some giant headquarters skyscraper somewhere) learned a lot going through those, and I feel extremely lucky we get to hear so directly from the audience what they want to see in this. I should've clarified from the beginning -- this was me expecting everyone to read my mind -- that the submission call was for regular contributors. So without sounding too much like I'm under the delusion that you're all waiting outside the door to our headquarters skyscraper with unbearable anticipation, whenever we want a different point of view on this thing or an artist to feature who does that thing, we still get to look into that plethora of 2000 emails. This also makes me feel very lucky.
Also, sorry it took so long. There were so many! Actually looking at them > saying no without thinking enough just to give a quick response. Also, man you all know how to write heartfelt letters. Is there a way I can be a penpal as like, a job?
Last thing I learned and feel lucky about -- we might end up with the coolest audience ever. Thank you again. It's incredibly life-affirming to know people care about this and want this to happen and want it to be good. We do too! I'm excited for you all to see.
And while we're on all this talk, I guest wrote something over at Jane's site, xoJane. OK, fine, I wrote all those paragraphs just now only so I could promote myself and link you to that post. You got me! It's like that time you got me for wanting to self-promote my foot. If you don't know what I'm talking about you should probably read the post I wrote before you can get in on the joke.

The service was brilliant, the driver Dave arrived rather early but was willing to wait quite a long time for us to leave. The journey was smooth and we arrived with perfect timing, despite a slight detour which took us down a very narrow country road! We arrived 5 minutes before the bride and her father and the photographer. Thank you for helping us find TMD limos , please pass on our thanks to Trevor and his driver, Dave.

Classic Car Hire #ucchire
Recent review: "Both cars were fantastic and well maintained. Both drivers arrived with plenty of time for the wedding and gave us plenty of time to enjoy them with wedding photographer . Both drivers Greg and Paul were both very smart and polite and engaged well with myself and the bride and bridesmaids Greg was particularly attentive after the service with Bride and Groom for photographs and also a little drive round by the reception venue. Thanks for making the day extra special ."
High Profile Party Buses
Recent review: Before paying my deposit I received a very high standard of service from HPBB. Between then and the day of my event, it was very hard to get hold of the company on numerous occasions, to ask questions and confirm details. The bus arrived 45 minutes early and was decorated well. I was told that the bus had bluetooth connectivity for my phone but I had to connect it via a lead which meant that I had to sit down the front rather than in the middle of/ with my guests. During the journey, I had to assist my driver with directions to the venue, as he didn't know which way to go, and when there was a road closure. Not the experience I had planned!

Here is a workable retirement
plan for those paper records.
by John N. Bell
"D ecords management is not a subject that stirs men's souls. It does
A** not have the romantic flavor of "Selective Inventory Management,"
"Profitability Accounting" or "Electronic Data Processing."
Yet firms that have a records management program are enthusiastic
about it as a real cost-cutter.
The term records management is defined here as the organization for
control, storage and timely destruction of all business records. This
article presents an over-all view of the pertinent points which should
be considered in designing a records management program and some
suggested steps to carry it out.
Paper records have a regular life cycle—birth, working life, retirement
and death. They are costly at every stage. Cost estimates of preparing
a business letter range from $1.50 to $2.00—add to this the
costs of handling and storage (up to $300 per four-drawer file per
year). Based on national averages, a Dayton client estimates that
paper creation and storage costs them roughly $7 million annually, a
figure equal to about half their tax bill in 1959.
There are several well-recognized symptoms of a records management
problem. Requisitions for more filing cabinets, requests for additional
clerical personnel, poor filing efficiency and poor housekeep-

Hi ho, everyone! It is I, Dawn, your friendly Dragoart buddy, and fellow artist. I am back with some really cool tutorials that will help you draw better, and learn something new. I will start by showing you "how to draw anime boys", step by step. There is so many concepts to tackle when it comes to drawing anime style. One of the things that you must learn first before sketching out your male anime character. One of the first things is understanding portion, body muscle types, differences with various mouths, and eyes, and some other cool stuff that is all included with this tutorial. I want to first let you know that, when I sketched out this drawing, I was thinking of all the questionable things that one will commonly have when drawing anime boys. All the steps and helpful tips, are some of the things that I wish I understood when I was a beginning artist that wanted to draw anime style. If you liked all the anime and manga lessons I have submitted over time that actually help you learn how to draw anime/manga bodies, heads, eyes, hair, mouths, and so forth, then you will love this tutorial that will show you in awesome detail, "how to draw anime boys", step by step. I only have a total of four lessons for you all today. This is number one, which means I still have three more to upload. Have fun with this submission, and stay tuned to see what I have to upload next. Peace people!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!
