Club Membership
There is a yearly club membership fee of £10 for all members. This will entitle you to post in all public forums of the club, including the For Sale & Wanted forums and the Members Only forums, and will also make you eligible for any current club discounts and promotions. Members are also entitled to a membership pack and are allowed to attend club events.
New members will have up to twenty-five initial posts before they will have to pay the membership fee. Once they reach the initial post limit their account will be disabled until payment is received. This gives new members sufficient time to find the community useful and to realise its value. If a non-member keeps re-registering to avoid the membership fee then they will be barred completely.
New members are NOT allowed to post in the For Sale & Wanted forums until they have paid for their membership. This is to stop people appearing on the forum just to sell things. The club also has strict rules on trade selling. Please see the section of traders below for more details.
Lifetime Membership
It is also possible to join the club as a life time member. This costs £30 and will give you club membership for 20 years, at which point it can be renewed free of charge upon request. Members who have paid for 3 years normal consecutive membership are entitled to upgrade to lifetime membership free of charge, however this has to be requested and will not happen automatically. No refund will be given to anyone who pays more than £30 before requesting a lifetime membership.
If you have paid for 1 or 2 years membership and wish to upgrade to lifetime membership then please contact Steve and he will let you know what to do.
Club Payments
There are currently four methods for paying your membership fee. Please note that Nochex payments are no longer supported.
PayPal Payment
To pay via PayPal you need to use the Paid Subscriptions option in your user control panel. This is the fastest way to activate your membership as it all happens within an hour, sometimes even quicker. If you need to pay for something other than your club membership then please contact a moderator to get our PayPal address.
Direct Money Transfer
You can pay your membership fee directly in to the club bank account. Please note you must ensure you enter your mkiv Supra Owners Club login name as the reference for the transfer. If this is not done we have no way of knowing who has paid and you will forfeit your payment as there is no other means of tracking your payment. It is also essential that you contact Steve when you have made the payment so we know to look out for it. The bank details are available from any moderator.
We are currently in the process of changing addresses and therefore cannot publish an address to send cheques to. If paying by cheque is really the only option available to you please contact a moderator and they will try to assist you.
Please make cheques payable to "The mkiv Supra Owners Club" and send them to...
mkiv Supra Owners Club
PO Box 3322
Please remember to put your membership name (forum login ID) and a return address on the back of the cheque otherwise we may not be able to match it to your account.
If you can find either tDR, mawby or Steve at a meet then you can pay them directly. Please ensure you contact one of them beforehand to let them know you will be paying on the day, and make sure you put your payment in an envelope with your mkiv Supra Owners Club login name written on it.
Group Buys
Group buys are the process by which a member will purchase items in bulk on the behalf of many members in order to secure a cheaper price for everyone. The club both supports and encourages group buys, but because of previous issues all group buys have to be authorised by a moderators first, and there are certain conditions that have to be met before authorisation will be given.
Anyone wanting to organise a group buy must have been a paid up club member for at least 6 months. They will be required to disclose full details of the group buy to a moderator prior to authorisation being given, including details of the supplying company, delivery times and the number of orders required to get the parts at the discounted prices. Limited details of the group buy will then be presented to the current traders who will have the opportunity to honour the group buy prices themselves if they wish. If one of the traders decides to honour the lower prices then the original group buy organiser will be asked to continue organising the group buy but to use the club recognised trader to source the stock instead. If they refuse then the trader will be asked to take over organising the group buy. If they are unable to do so due to time restraints on their part then they will be required to honour the lower prices for club members regardless of the numbers involved and for a minimum duration of 1 month. This should prevent any traders trying to block a group buy just for the sake of it, and although the club has no actual way of forcing a trader to honour the lower prices failure to do so may result in their trader membership being revoke or their next trader membership renewal being refused.
If you are interested in organising a group buy then please contact a moderator for more details.
Traders are companies or individuals who wish to sell or advertise non-private items or services through the forum - this includes people acting as third party agents even if they are not making any profit. Traders have to pay for a traders membership to become recognised as an official trader within the club, although it should be noted that traders are effectively only buying advertising space on the forum and are in no way linked or sponsors of it.
Before anyone can become a trader a vote is put before the club members and it is up to them whether or not the trader application is accepted. This process is also repeated every year when the trader membership comes up for renewal.
We only accept requests for trader membership applications from people who have been a paid up club member for at least 3 months. During this time the trader is not be allowed to advertise on the forum. This time is used to give the members a chance to get to know the trader before considering their membership application, and will allow both the members and the moderators to determine if the traders presence on the forum is acceptable. We also consider 3 months to be a small duration for the trader to wait if they are serious about trading here, so if any are put off by this delay then they will be no real loss to the club anyway.
Trader applications are discussion by the club members for 1 week to give the members a chance to discuss the application and share their experiences of the trader before deciding whether to allow them to join or not. The trader applying will be able to respond to the discussion thread if they wish, and anonymous comments can still be left by PM'ing them to Steve or mawby. At the end of the discussions a vote is cast by the members as to whether the application should be accepted or not.
New traders will join on a 3 month trial basis, at the end of which a survey will be conducted to see if they are performing as required. Their trader membership will be revoked if they are not keeping the club members happy, or if their presence on the forum is considered to be having a negative affect on the club or its members.
If a traders application is accepted then they will be given a sticky thread in the Traders Section forum in which they can specify contact information and advertise their day to day products and services. Each trader can also post a couple of specials every month in the Traders Section forum, with special exceptions being made if required.
If a trader wants more selling power than that offered by a sticky thread then they have the option of upgrading their trader membership to include having a section of their own on the forum. Traders are given limited moderating power over their sections and they are effectively an on-line version on their shops. For this reason you should not be surprised if a trader removes any unfavourable threads from their sections. Although this is seen as unfair given that only good comment are left, this is much the same situation you get with any other form of business whether on-line or in the real world. A good analogy would be sticking a poster on a shop window expressing your dissatisfaction of their goods or services - you wouldn't expect the shop owner to just leave it there for all the other customers to see! If you have a complaint about a trader then please contact them directly.
If you are interested in applying for a traders membership then please contact Steve, but first please read the full Trader Terms and Conditions as you will have to agree to these before your application or renewal will be accepted.
A hobbyist membership gives the member a limited right to trade on the forum for free. The hobbyist membership is only available to people who have been paid up club members for at least 6 months. A hobbyist membership has the same application process as used for the normal trader memberships, whereby a discussion thread is created followed by a vote 1 week later. A hobbyist membership will only last 6 months, at the end of which a survey will be conducted to determine if the member is still entitled to the free hobbyist membership or whether their level of trading on the forum has gone beyond that considered acceptable as a hobbyist. We do not have any fixed limits on what is acceptable for the hobbyist membership - we leave that decision to the members so that each individual circumstance can be taken into consideration at the time. However, as a guideline we cite the Wikipedia definition of a hobby; Hobbies are practised for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward.
If you are interested in applying for a hobbyists membership then please contact Steve.
Banner Adverts
The only type of advertisements supported by the club are the banner adds at the top of the forum. These adverts will appear on all normal forum pages (which excludes temporary templates like Festive and Halloween) and will be seen by everyone visiting the site. If you are interested in applying for a banner then please contact Steve, but first please read the full Trader Terms and Conditions as you will have to agree to these before your application or renewal will be accepted.

further explained in the next article. Zero base budgeting, a more complex system, has been successfully used by Wilmington, Delaware. Wilmington has achieved outstanding results by means of (1) a conscious effort to reduce personnel, (2) the implementation of an improved budget technique, and (3) a management emphasis on operational efficiency. David Singleton of Wilmington has said, "The city must be realistic and blunt as to its ability to fund the demands of its Three improved budgeting technique* A government official who wants to strengthen his unit's financial management has a wide variety of planning and budgeting systems to choose from. The three planning and budgeting techniques which follow illustrate this variety. More importantly, they demonstrate how sound planning and budgeting enhance the effectiveness of overall management and how they can contribute to substantial cost savings. Each of these systems: • Improves the quantity and quality of information about government operations, providing a sound basis for decision-making. • Facilitates operations reviews, enabling officials to update pro-constituents. For survival the city must keep taxes within reason." Wilmington's experience with ZBB is further explained in the article which follows. The taxpayer revolt has provided a warning to local governments across the country. Glenn Jackson of the Anti-tax National Taxpayers Union repeats the point. "Jarvis Cann and the successful voter referendum to roll back property taxes in California will unleash a massive wave of similar proposals across the country. grams in order to meet changing priorities and to increase cost effectiveness. D Provides a sound basis for long range planning. If funding shortfalls are foreseen, officials have time to redirect resources, alter service levels, or increase revenues, avoiding "crash" program reductions. Below are descriptions of each of the three systems: Contingency Planning in Greenville Contingency planning helps officials to make the hard choice between changing tax levels and meeting the expectations of citizens. Contingency planning is a long range system that estimates revenues over a five-year period and then compares the alternative expenditures required to provide service. To implement the system, Greenville, S.C. set up a task force of internal and external consultants to measure the widening gap between expected revenues and expenses for the given period. Since the mayor and city council wanted to minimize tax increases over the five years, the task force was instructed to find People have reached the breaking point." The message is clear. A balance will have to be struck between demand for more and the ability to pay for it. Improved management budgeting and control process will either be used by public officials or forced on them. The tools for examining alternatives, setting priorities, and implementing those activities as effectively as possible are available. All that is needed is a commitment to use them. a ways to close the gap by making city operations more productive. Accordingly, the task force: • Prepared a detailed five-year general fund forecast for revenues, expenditures, and fund balances. • Formalized the service objectives of the mayor and city council, consistent with locally generated revenues. • Surveyed citizens on their perceptions of the quality of city services. • Analyzed city operations to identify productivity and cost savings opportunities. These were grouped into three categories, based on the time required for implementation and the cost of the level of service: —Priority I Improvements: quick implementation with no significant impact on service levels, (e.g., cutbacks in unnecessary overtime). —Priority II Improvements: four to six months implementation time, but little impact on services (e.g., departmental consolidation). —Priority III Improvements: long-term implementation, requiring 43

(Cyclura cornuta)
The Rhinoceros Iguana gets its name from its outgrowths, like horns, on the end of it's nose. These large, heavy bodied lizards are dusky- grey or olive green with dark cross bands that are often barely visible. They have three horny bumps on the snout, which are more pronounced in males. The average adult is 2 feet in length (snout to vent).
The Rhinoceros Iguana is native to the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and The Dominican Republic) and several surrounding West Indian Islands. These iguanas live in areas of open scrub, among rocks and cactus thickets. They can also be found in dry forests to subtropical moist forests. This species is primarily found near coastlines, however, human expansion has forced many populations to retreat further inland. These iguanas are active during the day, spending the nights in rock crevices and dug out burrows.
Mature iguanas are primarily herbivores, eating fruit, leaves and flowers. They will occasionally supplement their diets with insects and larger prey items.
The Rhinoceros Iguana becomes sexually mature between the ages of 5-9. The breeding season of the Rhinoceros Iguana is in April and the eggs are laid about 40 days after mating. The female will dig a nest cavity in the sand and she will lay as many as 16 eggs at one time. Rhinoceros Iguanas are independent from birth. Females only breed once per year.
Rhino Iguana Profiles
Sex: Male
I'd like to introduce you to Jacko, one of our beautiful Rhinoceros Iguanas. These guys belong to a group of large ground-dwelling iguanas found on a number of different islands throughout the West Indies. Jacko will live until about the age of forty years and weigh up to 10 kg (he's still got plenty of growing to do!). Jacko lives with two female Rhinoceros Iguanas, and I'm telling you, he is a real character. He definitely makes sure we know who's the boss when we enter his home. Through his displays of head bobbing he reminds us that the two girls he lives with are taken. What a funny bloke - Perhaps he feels as though there's a bit of competition.
Sex: Female
Pinko was born here at Australia Zoo and spent the first four and a half years of her life in our lizard room, (a temperature-controlled room created especially for young lizards to grow up in). Since then she has moved out into a much larger area with another two Rhinoceros Iguanas; Pinko is by far the most shy. If you do make an effort to spend a bit of time with her this lovely little lizard's affectionate nature really comes through.

Congress to Lift the Travel Ban to Cuba?
Bloomberg News reports today that the U.S. House may pass a bill by the end of the year lifting the almost five‐decade‐old ban on travel to Cuba by American citizens. The step is long overdue. According to the article:
A group of House and Senate lawmakers proposed in March ending restrictions to allow all U.S. citizens and residents to travel to Cuba. [Rep. Sam Farr, a California Democrat] said the legislation, known as the "Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act," also has enough votes to clear the Senate, where Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, and Republican Senator Michael Enzi of Wyoming introduced the legislation.
As Rep. Farr succinctly added, "If you are a potato, you can get to Cuba very easily, but if you are a person, you can't, and that is our problem."
"If you are a potato, you can get to Cuba very easily," he said. "But if you are a person, you can't, and that is our problem."
I rebut a lot of what Sen. Dorgan has said about free trade and globalization in my new book, Mad about Trade, but on the issue of the Cuban embargo and travel ban, Sen. Dorgan and most of his fellow Democrats are pushing in the right direction, while most Republicans still vote to maintain our failed policies. For more on why the travel ban and embargo should be lifted, read my speech at Rice University in 2005.
Here is one issue where those of use who support less government and more economic freedom really can hope for progressive change.

RAM Disks
In the days of DOS, RAM disks were common. DOS even included support. Supposedly they are not useful under Windows, but that is not true.
Windows users say they are not generally needed because Windows caches programs using superfetch, etc. However test data and other temporary files are not assisted by this.
I've been using one for working with source and the building of large source trees and have seen an increase in speed measured in factors. Builds that formerly took 2 minutes now take less than 30 seconds. Furthermore, I have a RAID 0 setup with fast drives and large caches, so my hard drive based time is already a bit more than twice as fast as a normal system.
The problem comes about not from the usage of a RAM disk, but the minimal choices in RAM disk software.
- Free or inexpensive
- Auto save, including the ability to autosave new files or delta blocks in the background.
- Reliable
- Windows 7 x64 compatible
DataRAM RAMDisk
This is the one I am currently using. There is a free version that allows disk up to 4 GB. In actual use of the drive it creates, it has been very reliable. However the UI is a bit kludgy, and it has serious problems if the power fails while it is saving an image. After reboot, it lost the drive letter and all contents. Of course it was a RAM drive, so I recovered the actual data quickly, but I lost a lot of time "fidgetting" with the software just to get the RAM drive working again.
RamDisk 11
This one looks great. But the basic version is $39.95, and thats for x86 only. If you want the SAME version but x64 only, its $79.95! Its double! There are certain business practices that I refuse to support, and one of them is higher pricing for x64.
ImDisk - Open Source
Looks very promising! New i7 system arriving in a few days, will try it out then.
12 RAMDisk Benchmarks
Just found 12 RAM Disks at http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2009/12/08/12-ram-disk-software-benchmarked-for-fastest-read-and-write-speed/.
Update - Problem Solved
Ramdisk + Source Code = Super Fast Development

IP Addresses in this range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

Border Cantos: Sight & Sound Explorations from the Mexican-American Border
Richard Misrach | Guillermo Galindo
February 18 – April 24, 2017
Migration has an impact on both people and landscape. Border Cantos, a unique collaborationbetween American photographer Richard Misrach and Mexican composer Guillermo Galindo, harnesses the power of art to explore, share, and humanize the complex issues surrounding the borderlands between the United States and Mexico. The artists created works of photography, sculpture, and sound that document and transform artifacts from the border. Misrach's large-scale photographs, along with inventory-like grids of smaller photographs, highlight issues surrounding immigration and how they have affected regions and people. Responding to these photographs, Galindo fashioned sound-generating sculptures from items Misrach collected from the border, such as water bottles, Border Patrol "drag tires," spent shotgun shells, ladders, and sections of the border wall itself. The sounds they produce give voices to people through the personal belongings they have left behind.
College students are invited to attend an in-gallery performance by Guillermo Galindo, one of the two featured artists in the newly opened Border Cantos exhibition. Experience Galindo's exploration of the difficult physical and emotional realities of the Mexican-American border through sound and then stay after the performance for an in-depth look at the art.
FREE to all area college students. Special thanks to the College Ambassador Program.

Dr. Grumpy: "Where do you work?"
Miss Payne: "I'm a receptionist at Local Hospice."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
I'm on to your game, Dr. Grumpy. So that you can continue to tell us funny stories without someone calling you on the carpet for HIPA violations, workplace harassment, or swinging kittens around by their tails, you've given yourself an out. Your stories, one after the other, have me saying, "No way. He's got to be making this up." I suspect you hope that any prospective jurors would say the same thing, hence the liberal salting of your blog with Texas-sized tale-tales, Brobdignagian whoppers that can't possibly be true. But, like a good urban legend, if they aren't true then they sure ought to be.
You must not work in health care.
I print and mail invoices, the majority of them medical. But you're right, I never have to talk to the end customer. Yay!
By the way, announce at a party that you print and mail invoices, and people get that same look on their face that women get when they smell something bad. Then they hastily excuse themselves go to talk to the IRS agent or accountant on the other side of the room. Yeah, my profession is that popular. But I sure don't want to admit I program computers for a living, which is far worse (at a social gathering) than being a doctor. Everybody, and I mean everybody--including the doctor--waits their turn to needle you for free advice on subjects no more related to your specialty than is a Rotifer to a retrovirus. "You program on Linux? Great! Maybe you can help me with my Windows Virus problem..."
So, if you ever see some geeky looking guy at a party claiming to be a doctor because he'd rather hear about someone's bowel problems, I hope you understand.
I've SO got Dr. Grumpy's back on this one. I work in a doctor's office, too, and you would be amazed at some of the thing that otherwise functional adults say and do. It's seriously mind-blowing. I hear 'you've got to be making this up' more often than not while sharing stories about my job...
And, Dr. Grumpy, my job as a receptionist makes me not feel well, too, but I think that it's more mental anguish than anything else :)
Part of my work consists of handling both workers comp and customer liability claims for a very large fast food franchise owner. After 5 years of this I can believe anything. What's sad is that these people aren't even embarrassed when caught in an outright lie...by a video showing what really happened!
Did you ask Miss Payne if she has written her advance directives? Has she thought about a mortuary?
"If it weren't for Hawaiian Shirt Fridays, the place would just be too depressing to bear."
"Also, I'm supposed to give out these buy-ten-get-one-free loyalty cards and stamp them, but nobody seems to want one."
If she stays at the job a bit longer, she'll notice that most of the people there are dying off.
Oh, no, she did-uhn. Dr. G, I'm with Wayne C. You've got to making this up unless, well, they're
C to the R to the AZY.
I'm a patient with MS. I believe every single word he says because the health care system is driving me NUTS.
I hate Medicaid. God, the stories I could tell you....
Yep. That would do it.
See most of the crazy things that people say to me are said by medical staff. An example happened just yesterday:
Her: "I've sent a sample for a full blood count and it's really urgent, so could you do it quickly please?"
Me: "What's the patient's name?"
Her: "Oh I don't know, do you need that?"
People in all lines of endeavor encounter an endless stream of idiots. This being a Dr. blog, they are mostly patients and inept medical persons.
I wonder if there's a Father Grumpy out there somewhere?
Most likely.
wv: plocatin, probably be on TV soon "Tell your Dr. you need...
Holy crap you have airborne cancer!
People, don't forget that Dr. Grumpy is indeed a neurologist... He's bound to have more "special encounters" than a general physician.
"It could be a lot worse, though- I could be on the drive-through window."
I have a friend, the gentlest gentleman you would ever find,and for several years he worked doing collection calls for a bank. I could not understand how he could do it! I was so glad for him when the bank eliminated his job and he had to do something else. It was amazing to watch the convo die when he mentioned his job...
I thought of you today...
Standing in the passport line at the post office.
Man: You don't need a passport to visit Hawaii, right? Because it's in the same country, isn't it?
In his defense, this was in the context of a conversation about when passports were not needed to visit Mexico and Canada... but really? Yes, Hawaii is a state. It has been for 50 years.
Damn, kate beat me to it. There are days when I wonder if the patients are sucking the patience right out of me. (Pun intended, I think.)
Oh yes there are plenty of ministerial blogs that mention idiots.
Idiots are universal. Sometimes I encounter 'em and sometimes I AM ONE.
"I preferred it when it was still a brothel, but that insurance money was just too good to turn down."
I think Miss Payne is in the wrong job! Her observation skills are a 100%! Definitely doctor material!
Along with not being a doctor or a programmer, don't be an architect at parties. You either get ranted at about the price of houses, or get asked to design someone's extension on the back of a napkin / explain local building codes / give advice on leaky roofs. (Ones three counties away that you couldn't have a look at even if you wanted to!)
And since I currently work for a large conservation charity and spend a lot of time dealing with The Public, I can verify that a lot of them are idiots. Best question I ever got: "Had they invented wood in the Middle Ages?"
@ Brendon--I'm not sure Dr. Grumpy's specialty leads to more encounters with--uh--AMAZING--people than other specialties. Just think of it...ER, psychiatry, proctology.....
...the drive through window.....got me chortling! do you suppose she's trying to create a worker's comp claim foundation here?
thanks for the giggle!

Spain's Andres Iniesta rocketed the ball to the back of the net in the 117th minute of the match to make the score 1 - 0. The extra time score secured Spain's first ever World Cup title.
The hallmark of this 2010 final was brawn over beauty. A total of 9 yellow cards were pulled, 6 for the Netherlands and 3 for Spain. The Netherlands' John Heitinga drew a red card and was ejected.
Despite a gritty performance that ESPN announcers compared to a "cage match," the Netherlands lost for the third time in the World Cup final.
U.S. & World
Spain's goal tender Iker Casillas was brilliant when tested. The Netherlands' Arjen Robben fought off a flagrant hold and came charging down the field on a breakaway. With Robben bearing down at a full sprint, Casillas attacked the shot and covered up the ball.
In the second half Spain's clean passing allowed them to control possession. They had their chances in front of the net, but missed a few good opportunities. Sergio Ramos sailed a free header high over the goal in the 77th minute.
The Netherlands' Arjen Robben flubbed a fantastic scoring chance in the 61st minute. Breaking away with defenders in tow, he met goal tender Iker Casillas at the top of the penalty box. Casillas guessed wrong and dove left, and Robben put the ball to the other side. But Casillas managed to kick his foot out just enough to send the soft shot wide of the net.
The Spanish controlled much of the play at Soccer City in the first half as well, and had the two best chances early in the match.
Defender Sergio Ramos sent a header from Xavi Hernandez's cross on target, but goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg made the save in the fifth minute. Spain striker David Villa's left-foot volley from Xabi Alonso's cross then hit the side-netting in the 12th.
In the 28th, Netherlands midfielder Nigel de Jong was lucky to escape without only a yellow card after kicking Alonso in the chest while going for a ball.

While there have been problems in the past with some people staging accidents and filing false claims, it is irresponsible to promote that ALL people involved in ALL minor car crashes are not hurt and are simply filing fraudulent claims. There has been lots of research done on whiplash and minor car crash by Dr Arthur Croft and the Spine Research Institute of San Diego, Society of Automotive Engineers, National Institute of Health (NIH) using crash test dummies and live volunteers. Research proved that even a car crash at 5 mph can cause injuries to the neck. Another surprising fact to many people is that the NIH found that 53% of the people involved in car crashes and suffered whiplash type of injuries never fully recover! They end up with chronic, permanent, lifetime pain. This does not mean that they are totally disabled but they will suffer with that mild to severe neck pain for the rest of their lives! There are 7 handouts explaining all this and much more that I use to explain to my patients and then it becomes part of their medical record in case we need to go to court.
The insurance industry spent millions of dollars on billboards, radio and TV ads promoting "STOP LAWSUIT ABUSE" to the public. You may recall seeing or hearing one of those ads. They did this so that if you were picked on a jury for a car crash case "STOP LAWSUIT ABUSE" would be fresh on your mind and you would think these people were not really hurt and just filing false claims. This scheme together with the courtroom drama by the attorneys that represent the insurance companies would usually be enough to render a decision in favor of the insurance company to NOT provide for any medical payments or for pain and suffering for the innocent car crash victim(s). Furthermore, these ads may lead you to falsely believe if YOU were in a minor car crash, sought medical treatment and filed a claim YOU might be committing fraud.
Some insurance companies especially one that claims "You are in Good Hands" may put part of the blame on you for the car crash. They will allege that you are 20% liable and they will now only pay for 80% of the damages to your car. This is abuse by the insurance company.
I have testified in court dozens of times as a Doctor of Chiropractic and Expert Witness for my patients. The attorney protecting the insurance company would do everything in his/her power to protect the insurance company he/she is representing from not having to pay any money or as little as possible. The attorneys bring up issues like why did you wait two weeks before seeking care…because if you were really hurt you would have sought care right away. The truth is many people try to tough it out and self medicate until they realize that the pain is not going away and in some cases is getting worse. The insurance company's attorney will look for everything and anything to try to discredit you and your doctor. This is why it is IMPORTANT to be examined as soon as possible. It is even more important that you be seen by a specialist who is trained specifically in whiplash and spinal trauma AND will document ALL your injuries properly. This is VERY IMPORTANT! I cannot stress the importance of this. Get seen right away by a specialist trained in whiplash and spinal trauma. A big mistake is to see your family doctor who does not likely have this type of specific training. I do. And I have over twenty three years experience successfully having helped thousands of people just like you.
If you are taken to the emergency room know that the fees for the ambulance are high and the ER visit will also be very costly. Make sure you have the proper insurance coverage or if you were struck by another vehicle that person has insurance to cover those bills. If you do go to the Emergency Room, unless you have severe injuries, the doctor at the hospital may tell you there is nothing wrong or nothing seriously wrong and that you may be sore for a few days. The doctor may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon or simply tell you to follow up with your family doctor. Unless you really need surgery why would you go to an orthopedic surgeon? Because your attorney wants you too. It makes your case look better. That's also why many attorneys prefer you go to the Emergency Room when in a car crash. They want it documented that you did go to the Emergency Room and preferably by ambulance.
The next issue is do you really need an attorney? No, not in every case although some attorneys will disagree with me. Some people end up seeing one of those attorneys that advertise heavily on TV. While this is OK, some of these law firms see so many people you probably will never speak with the attorney but will talk with the paralegal. Some of these attorneys don't even live in El Paso. They also will send you to one of their "preferred" clinics for your treatments. The treatments are sometimes not the BEST. If you are in this situation and you are not getting results or are not happy going there for whatever reason, you have the right to switch doctors. You DO NOT need to get permission form your attorney. A recent new patient of mine told me this happened to her and she only saw the Chiropractor one time during her entire treatment . Her case settled she got a small amount of money and she still hurts. This is in essence YOUR money being spent. It should be money well spent. You have the right to choose where you go and get treated. You want to go where the doctor has a good reputation and where you will get the BEST RESULTS. Likewise you want an attorney who is going to really look after you and not just his/her bank account. Most attorneys DO NOT help you with the settlement of your car or getting a rental car. If the insurance company is going to give you a less than fair amount for your car who will fight for you. Be smart and don't believe everything you see on TV commercials.
There are some people that may have been involved in a minor car crash and think they are not really hurt. They think they are just a little sore or have very mild pain. When the soreness or mild pain usually does go away they think they are OK. Because the mild pain or soreness went away this may not necessarily be an indication that everything is OK. Too often I have seen many patients come back a month or two or years later complaining now of headaches, back or neck pain.
In other cases, the pain never really goes away but lingers. Because the pain is very mild and tolerable some people will not go and get examined. This is not very smart because the spine could be injured and misaligned. This may cause mild pain, some discomfort or NO pain at all. If the spine is not properly aligned and corrected it can develop into osteoarthritis, disc problems and affect you in the future.
There are many other issues like…"Where do I have to take my car to get fixed?" "Will they use new or used parts?" "Am I entitled to a rental car while my car is getting fixed"? "How long can I keep the rental car?" There are other issues involving your car, your medical treatments and your compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages etc. The important thing is…. if you have been involved in ANY type of car crash CALL ME RIGHT AWAY!! Don't put if off thinking you have to get approval from the insurance company. Many times they waste precious time and stall in returning your phone calls or they will offer you a few hundred dollars in hopes that you accept and sign a waiver to any future claims. DO NOT sign that disclaimer. One final note…. take pictures of all vehicles involved and of any bruises or cuts you may have. The police report may state there was minor damage when it was not. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Also, keep a simple pain journal explaining how the pain has affected your life.
I have successfully been treating these types of injuries for over 23 years. I want to help you get the best treatment you are entitled to and deserve. Call today to schedule your free consultation.

Click here to read an earlier WCM posting on this issue.
The developer who proposed opening a recreational vehicle facility in Bradford, R.I., is asking the state Supreme Court to review a lower court's ruling that derailed the plans.
The Westerly Sun reported that Associate Justice Brian Stern of Washington County Superior Court upheld a decision by the Westerly zoning official, Elizabeth Burdick, who said that the plans developed by Larry LeBlanc's Exco LLC called for what amounted to a mobile home park, a prohibited land use in the town.
Stern's decision in September overturned a decision by the Zoning Board of Review, which had found in favor of the developer.
Were the Supreme Court to take the case and ultimately rule in Exco's favor, it could pave the way for the company to develop a 225-unit facility on 54 acres.
The request to the state Supreme Court comes as town officials are considering an amendment to the town zoning regulations to prohibit camps and campgrounds in the town's Rural Residential-60 and Aquifer Protection Overlay zones, the only areas where they are currently allowed. The Town Council has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed amendment for Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. at Town Hall. If approved, the amendment would not apply to Exco's application because it predates the new zoning proposal, officials have said.
In a motion filed with the Supreme Court, Exco's lawyer, Kelly Fracassa, argues that Stern and Burdick failed to properly consider and distinguish between state laws that define mobile and manufactured homes, and those that define recreational vehicles.
Exco "still intends to develop the property as an RV park, if possible, and if not, still intends to develop land in Westerly as an RV park," Fracassa wrote in the motion to the Supreme Court.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Junior Liza Ryabkina potted her fifth goal of the 2010 Beanpot Tournament 35 seconds into the second period and the marker stood as the game-winner as the No. 5 Harvard women's hockey team blanked No. 9 Northeastern, 1-0, in the Beanpot final Tuesday at Bright Hockey Center. The win marks the 13th time in program history the Crimson has hoisted the Beanpot trophy, and the first time since 2008.
Harvard now stands just one Beanpot title shy of Northeastern's 14 overall trophies. The last time the Huskies captured the tournament crown was 1998. Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, collected her 10th career Beanpot title and now stands two wins shy of tying Laura Halldorson's all-time Division I record of 337 career victories.
After scoring four goals in a 5-0 win over Boston College in the first round and netting the game-winner in the finals, Ryabkina was unanimously selected as the Beanpot Most Valuable Player, becoming the first Crimson player to win the award since Sarah Wilson '09 claimed the prize in 2008. A pair of Beanpot shutouts earned freshman goalie Laura Bellamy the Bertagna Award as the tournament's top goaltender, marking the second time in three years a Harvard player has received the accolade after Christina Kessler won it in 2008.
After outshooting the Huskies, 12-5, in the opening stanza, the Crimson grabbed control of the flow of the game in the second, owning a 26-6 margin in shots in the middle period. More importantly, Harvard netted the only goal of the frame, as Ryabkina put Harvard ahead at 0:35. Ryabkina sent a pass into the slot from the left corner, allowing Randi Griffin to get a shot off. Northeastern goaltender Leah Sulyma stopped Griffin's attempt, but the shot created a rebound on the left side. Ryabkina picked up the puck and lifted it into the top corner of the net.
The Huskies upped their offensive efforts in the third, outshooting the hosts 16-6 in the period. Three Harvard penalties gave the visitors a number of good looks on net, but Bellamy stood firm, recording 16 saves to secure her second shutout in as many Beanpot games. The Crimson finished the game with a 44-27 edge in shots.
Harvard will begin a stretch of four road games to conclude the regular season at Rensselaer Friday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m.

Usually one of the best teams in town is 8 guys who all work at Local Pizza. The manager there is the husband of one of my patients. The Pizza Boys have a feared reputation in their division, as they've been friends since high school and play together year round. They've only rarely been defeated.
Until this month.
Mrs. Pizza came in for a routine visit, and I asked how her husband's team did this year.
She paused, then began laughing. Hysterically. When she finally calmed down she told me they'd lost EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. By huge margins, too.
I asked her how this could happen. Was one sick? Injured? Dead? These guys are good (at least by city league standards).
And she began laughing again.
Apparently, due to a busy day at the restaurant, they sent one guy's girlfriend to sign them up at the city park that runs the leagues.
She signed them up for division 5 (normally they play in division 3) by mistake.
Division 5 is guys who are either recently-retired from the NBA, or who came really close to getting into the pro leagues, but weren't quite good enough.
But they are, however, a helluva lot better than a bunch of guys who run a pizza joint.
I was laughing so hard it pretty much ended the visit.

Iomega QuikTouch Video Burner Graduates to Double-Layer DVD Capability
Iomega QuikTouch Video Burner Graduates to Double-Layer DVD Capability. New 12x Drive Provides Fast "One-Touch" Video Archiving to DVD or CD.
Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage, today announced that the new Iomega? Super DVD QuikTouch? Video Burner 12x Dual Format USB 2.0 drive is now shipping and available, enabling one-touch video transfer to the most popular DVD or CD formats, including Double-Layer (DL) DVDs.
As the first QuikTouch drive to offer Double-Layer DVD recording capability, the new QuikTouch Dual-Format drive gives users 80 percent more capacity per disc: up to 8.5 GB*, compared to 4.7 GB for single-layer DVDs. That capacity advantage makes the new QuikTouch drive the most advanced and flexible option yet for preserving video memories. Users can now record up to four hours of DVD-quality video, save over 3,000 songs, or archive up to 8.5 GB of computer data and photos on each DVD+R DL (Double-Layer) disc.
"The Iomega Super DVD QuikTouch Video Burner appeals to PC users as a complete all-in-one solution. With just one press of a button, you can transfer video memories to any of the most popular DVD and CD formats, and do it simply and reliably," said Scott LeFevre, product general manager, branded products, Iomega Corporation. "For those who want video-editing capability, the excellent software tools that come bundled with the drive let the user delete scenes, add titles, manage soundtracks, and arrange chapters. For sheer value, the Iomega Dual-Format QuikTouch drive is the most exciting DVD writer yet, bringing dual-layer DVD recording to the general user."
Key Features and Benefits

- QuikTouch button . Simply press the QuikTouch button and push "Play" on the source VCR or camcorder. QuikTouch detects the recording media, launches the software, captures the video and burns the disc automatically.

I am sure everyone had seen the Obama HOPE poster by Shepard Fairey, but I am not so sure many people follow up on the legal issues behind it. The basic plot goes like this: before creating the work, Fairey used Google to search for an Obama image as a reference. He found an image he liked and created what became a ubiquitous poster. More than a year after the poster went viral the Associated Press contacted Fairey, claimed they own the original image and wanted to sue him for damages. The best thing about it is that the photographer who actually took the original photo, Mannie Garcia, is not an AP employee but a freelancer who claims he holds the copyright and is not just fine with what Fairey created – he is proud of him. Here's Fairey in his own words:
We live in interesting times. Technology is evolving so fast, we can barely keep up with the ethical and moral questions raised. And so if the AP chooses to put themselves at the wrong side of progress and sue Fairey for his use of the original photo, I plead with them to please also sue my newspaper Maariv and its caricaturist Zeus (Ron Zisenbach) who yesterday published the following image, in clear violation of the AP standard of fair use:
The Hebrew text says: "solar eclipse"

Invertebrate, any animal that lacks a vertebral column, or backbone, in contrast to the cartilaginous or bony vertebrates. More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. Worldwide in distribution, they include animals as diverse as sea stars, sea urchins, earthworms, sponges, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, insects, spiders, snails, clams, and squid. Invertebrates are especially important as agricultural pests, parasites, or agents for the transmission of parasitic infections to humans and other vertebrates. Invertebrates serve as food for humans and are key elements in food chains that support birds, fish, and many other vertebrate species.
Apart from the absence of a vertebral column, invertebrates have little in common. Indeed, they are distributed between more than 35 phyla. In contrast, all vertebrates are contained within a single phylum, the Chordata. (Phylum Chordata also includes the sea squirts and some other invertebrate groups.) Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton (as in most mollusks, crustaceans, and insects) that serves, as well, for body protection.

Given that SatNav systems are one of the hottest items to steal these days, Medion's latest GoPal might go some way in redressing the balance. Its P4425 model boasts fingerprint recognition for extra security, meaning that not only will thieves be unable to use it, but might find it that little bit harder to find out where you live &mdash unless, of course, your car is parked in your driveway when they break into your motor and steal it.
Just 17 mm thick, the P4425 has voice recognition for certain commands, meaning no more one-handed steering while you thump the SatNav unit as it repeats "Come off the motorway at the next exit" in its robot voice. There's RDS-TMC antenna for live traffic updates, 1.5GM memory, a 4.2-inch color widescreen and an FM transmitter so you can get
"Come off the motorway at the next exit" voice guidance piped through your speakers. There's even a pre-loaded database that tells you where all the speed cameras are.
With maps of the UK and the rest of western Europe, the GoPal P4425 is out in the UK in November for 299.99, or around $600. Will this be the shape of SatNav security to come? [NaviGadget]

Qtrax on Mozilla: Open For Closed
[Update]…and they're gone, Matt in the comments was right. Didn't quite have their game together.
Caught this news this morning. A service called Qtrax that allows unlimited, permanently free music downloads that apparently has the support of all the major record labels.
What I see as interesting is the client technology they are using and requiring for use. ReadWriteWeb mentions that it's built on Songbird.
On the Qtrax site as well, they highlight in multiple spots it's "A Mozilla Web Browser", and a "Mozilla Based Browser".
This is cool as it's another use of Mozilla technology. Too bad it has so much press and is associating together Songbird, Mozilla, DRM, and Windows-only support not even including iPods. This is in direct opposition of some of the strongest aspects of Mozilla technology.

I've always been told to use lava rock in my waterfall filter, is this the best media to use?
Tara – Bon Temps, LA
Lava rock was a common form of biological filtration media in waterfall boxes as its porous surface provides room for bacteria to reside. While it was popular years ago, pond supply companies have since produced better forms of secondary biological filtration media that are friendlier for both you and the pond itself.
Using lava rock as a source of filtration media has a list of distinctive drawbacks. The first of which is that it can prove to be extremely heavy and cumbersome. It is not exactly easy to lift a bag of rocks out of your pond, especially when it is full of water and debris.
While lava rock is porous and can initially provide a reasonable amount of additional surface area, the coarseness and small opening sizes tend to hold on to passing-by debris, blocking the waterways which greatly diminishes the stone's performance. Once lava rock is loaded with debris you will have to remove it form your filter box and replace it with new media as it is near impossible to remove the debris from within each rock. For some pond owners this means they would need to replace their lava rock media multiple times each season for optimal performance. Furthermore lava rock tends to be brittle and can leave behind additional dust and debris in your pond.
Biological filtration media like BioBalls™ filter media provides all of the surface area that your beneficial bacteria desire but implement it into a light-weight cost-effective design. One of the best qualities of secondary filtration media like the BioBalls™ is that you only have to buy them once. The Pond Guy® BioBalls™ do not degrade over time and can simply be rinsed out at the end of the season and reused the next. BioBalls™ can placed into a mesh media bag and can be placed right into your waterfall filter box.
Pond Talk: Have you used lava rock as filter media in the past and switched to bio balls or another form of media? Did you notice a difference in filtration performance?

I don't purport to be an expert on ... well, anything ... and I'm pretty sure I don't carry as much weight (geneablogger-ly-speaking) as Thomas MacEntee, or DearMYRTLE, Elizabeth O'Neal, or Amy Coffin, but I'm going to put my 2 cents in anyway.
I originally uploaded my GEDCOM to Geni.com about 2 years ago (when membership was free) just to try it out. I wasn't a big fan of the layout, and the whole process seemed rather clunky to me from a usability perspective. So I
With Geni.com's recent announcement about the changes for Pro users, I was taken aback for several reasons. First, when I originally signed on with Geni.com, I was under the impression that my tree was MY tree. Not part of a global "world tree." And that I would have sole control over my research, being able to merge or collaborate as I saw fit. Fast forward 2 years ... now the rules have changed. The TOS should have mentioned I would need lube.
Over the past week, I have briefly commented on a couple of posts made by Amy Coffin and Elizabeth O'Neal about my frustrations with the news, but have otherwise bitten my tongue. Mainly because I don't like to badmouth companies who are just trying to make a buck.
I just saw Tamura Jones' mention on Google+ about a message from the CEO of Geni.com with some clarification regarding the recent changes to Geni.com:
"The changes we made last week were designed to accelerate our progress towards our goal of a single, accurate family tree. By limiting the creation of new historical profiles to Pro users, the number of new duplicate profiles will be significantly reduced. And because of their new permissions, Pro users can now merge existing duplicates faster and more effectively. In fact, merging has increased by 75% because of these changes." (emphasis added)I bet it has. If I had the ability to hack everyone else's tree, my merging would probably increase by 75% too. Fortunately, all those darn duplicates will be eliminated because no one with a PAID account would possibly upload a duplicate profile. Right?
CEO Noah Tutak goes on to say:
"We understand that users who have entrusted Geni with their data are frustrated that they can no longer merge with other trees or add distant relatives with a free account. However, I do want to clear up a few misconceptions about the changes that we made:I want to clear up a misconception for Mr. Tutak: I wasn't frustrated that I couldn't merge or edit or add distant relatives. I was frustrated because the research that I spent so much of my incredibly-hard-to-come-by time compiling and analyzing over the last 10+ years was going to be chum in the waters for a feeding frenzy of geneasharks who, because they have a paid account, their research is deemed more accurate than my own. Whether they bother to source their facts or not. If Geni.com's goal is to have a "single, accurate family tree," they better start hiring people to verify facts and sources. Otherwise, it's just going to be a free-for-all of merge/edit battles, which will eventually blow up in their collective faces. (Of the many merge requests I have received, NONE have offered proof of their data. None. Zero. Even after I requested it.)
- Viewing and editing permissions were not changed at all. All users can still view and edit the same profiles they could before last week.
- GEDCOM export is still a free feature, as it was before the changes. All users can export a GEDCOM of their tree.
- All users can use the "Managed by Me" tab to search for profiles they manage."
Now, I am in the process of deleting every individual on my tree (one by one, which is excruciatingly time-consuming, because even if I cancel my account, I cannot delete my entire tree). This was a decision I made based upon one simple fact: Pro users have carte blanche to edit/merge MY profiles however and whenever they wanted.
Incidentally, why is it considered a "bonus" that I can search my own profiles, or export my own GEDCOM? I can already do both of those things with my offline genealogy program. I will say this ... the inability for a freebie member to search the entire site for matches to their tree will end up costing Geni.com money ... why would someone pay to join a site when they can't see a potential benefit? I can understand not giving permission to merge or edit other profiles, but not being able to see them at all? Gimme a break.
So ... see ya, Geni.com. I'll stick with my WikiTree profile. It's still free. And it's still mine.
Thanks, Thomas, for letting me borrow your soap box.
