Richard Scholz had always been an active man with lots of interests. He played baseball at the squadron-level while in the Air Force, traveled all over the world and was a gourmet cook.
But at 66 years old, he was slowing down considerably and realized he was becoming old before his time. It was his knees. For the last four years, they hurt nearly all the time, making it painful to walk.
While on the cruises he liked to take, he was forced to forego activities and day excursions off the ship. He found it difficult to get around; he even had trouble shopping for ingredients for the gourmet meals he liked to prepare.
His immobility led to weight gain and other health risks. In November of 2007, Richard Scholz took the first step toward recapturing his active lifestyle.
Richard had been on a cruise and had talked to folks who had knee replacement surgery. It was obvious to Richard that they could participate in activities he couldn't. Their only regret, they told him, was waiting so long to have the surgery.
Orthopedist Dr. Christopher Brown determined that Richard was a good candidate for knee replacement surgery.
"Dr. Brown said there was no cartilage left. It was all bone."
Since then, Richard has been moving rapidly ahead toward his new life. Before undergoing knee replacement surgery in November, Richard attended a one-day joint class where a nurse, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist and a pharmacist explained what he should do to prepare for joint replacement surgery, and what to expect afterward. The pharmacist talked about pain management; the therapists discussed important practices that would reduce the risk of pneumonia and deep vein thrombosis – always a risk with surgery.
For those in the class with care partners present, the presenters talked about ways the partners could help before and after surgery. As a widower without family nearby, Richard was prepared to cope without a care partner. He was assured that nurses and therapists would be there to help him every step of the way.
The surgery on Richard's left knee went well, and the occupational and physical therapists arrived the next morning to evaluate his condition. He was out of bed and putting light pressure on the knee that day. For four days, he received therapy in the hospital twice a day.
Upon being moved the few hundred yards to Fauquier Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Richard's therapy sessions intensified. For years, FHRNC has provided short-term rehabilitation care, in addition to its 24-hour nursing care. Richard was at FHRNC for three weeks, and spent some of his therapy time in the aquatherapy pool.
He smiled wistfully, "I loved that pool. It was lovely and warm in there."
Afternoons at FHRNC were spent at the in-house physical therapy gym, building up the left knee and the muscles around it. "FHRNC was a great transition," Richard said.
Fauquier Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center was recently recognized by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities with three-year accreditations for its inpatient rehabilitation services and for its person-centered long term care. Richard saw up close and personal why FHRNC was awarded these hard-to-achieve designations.
He enthused, "They were wonderful to me. If I wanted apple juice at 2 in the morning, I got it. Whatever I needed, they were there."
He added, "Before I could be discharged, the occupational therapists had to make sure I was going to be able to take care of myself. They took me to the kitchen and asked me to make myself some cocoa. They handed me a packet of cocoa mix and told me to fill a cup with water, mix in the packet and put it in the microwave. I looked at them and said, 'That's not cocoa.' "
Before leaving FHRNC, Richard showed the staff there how to make cocoa, and another thing or two about cooking, as well. "I gave them $100 and sent them to Giant to buy scallops, shrimp, garlic and penne. I told them, 'Buy these ingredients and I'll make you a meal.' I made a big pot, and it was gone in ten minutes."
Richard used a walker at home for a short time after leaving FHRNC, then gave it up for a cane. "The toughest part was changing the litter pan for my cats. I had trouble with that for a while." But through continued therapy sessions, he worked at building up his strength.
On March 10, Richard underwent joint replacement surgery on his right knee. "It seemed to go better because I was prepared for the routine. Again, I elected to go to FHRNC for rehab and participated in aqua and gym therapy."
Recovery time was shorter the second time around. Therapy at the Medical Office Building followed his rehabilitation at FHRNC.
Richard recently has joined the LIFE Center, Fauquier Health's medically-based fitness facility located on Holiday Court, a few minutes from the hospital.
Richard said that he feels there is a direct correlation between his joint replacement surgery and his "new way of looking at life. My knees are fully functional, I can move around, and I feel more awake and energetic. I feel great!
"I used to be sitting all the time because of the pain in my knees. I didn't have the energy to boil an egg, now I'm stripping wallpaper. I can go up and down steps and not be out of breath or in pain."
Like those he met on the cruise months before, Richard said, "My only regret is that I waited so long to have the surgery."
Richard has already lost 20 pounds with the added exercise he's been doing, and has adjusted his gourmet cooking style to include healthy recipes. He claims he's still got about 50 or 60 pounds to lose. With the help of the staff at the LIFE Center – and his own determination — Richard is certain he'll reach his goal. He's looking forward to spending some more active time with his sons and their families – five grandchildren in all.

DARK is a stealth action game with RPG elements that lets you slip into the role of the ultimate killer… a vampire. Stalk your enemies from the shadows then use powerful vampire abilities to attack and silently dispose of them! The exciting story of DARK immerses you in a world full of blood and darkness in which the hunter can become the hunted at any time. As you unravel the mystery behind the omnipresent and powerful global conglomerate, Geoforge, you must continually improve your character by developing powerful skills to aid you in remaining unobserved, or silence those unfortunate enough to take too keen an interest in you.

Maybe he wants us to think of service as anyone who takes a below market wage in the service of others. I still don't understand how astronauts would fit within that framework, but might include religious leaders, social workers, and soldiers.

I am not so sure soldiers make a below market wage. Soldier pay has gone up 50% since 1998. They get housing, food, training, excercise, high tech equipment to work on, healthcare, pensions. So the military is competing in the market and they are competing on compensation.

I think he is suggesting that service entails any venture (for profit or not-for-profit) that seeks to strengthen the country's competitiveness - whether someone working as an astronaut or space engineer, someone volunteering for a cause that strengthens the "human capital" in America, or someone who educates future scientists, entrepreneurs, etc.
It seems fairly obvious to me. Then again, I actually think the guy believes that we've lost a sense of responsibility to the broader community in making our country a better place.

I really think your reading too much into this David Henderson. Obama wants people to volunteer within their community, and feels not enough people are doing this. Yes, we already know what this means. Obama isn't redefining it, he is re-publicizing it.
I know you like to over-analyze things, but this isn't one of them. Just move on and go on with your usual critics.

I don't really care what Obama means.
I resent my wealth confiscated from me (as I am one of the people who still actually pays taxes) to pay for huge collectivist propaganda campaigns to shame me into believing that the state is more important than my family.
I don't need Obama to define my community or my responsibilities for me.

AnnaMerkin -- I think you're missing Prof. Henderson's point. Everyone who provides what other people want or need does a public service. The person who runs a bagel shop and makes all those commuters happy in the morning is performing no less of a public service than the person administering drivers' tests at the Department of Motor Vehicles or the person drafting regulations at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Let's not forget that the Apollo mission is a lynchpin in Obama's rhetoric to highlight 'hope' and 'aspiration', such as his plan to delete oil as an energy source and replace it with... something...
So the invocation isn't out of character, weather it makes sense or not.
BTW 'my moon' IS the moon, but only if I can go there as a private business owner...!

Tre Jones writes:
I disagree. I don't think he "wants" us to equate service with government work. Even if that is the valid extensional conclusion drawn from the images, I believe the intended message is a Lakoff-ian suggestion: service is a great and noble act.
The signal isn't as devious as you imply. Astronauts on the moon frequently connote (intensional meaning, in the language of linguists) greatness, honor, and patriotism. This ad is just trying to get those connotations to rub off on public service.
A separate issue: you can make an economic argument for public service. Yes, I do a public service as a business owner by providing goods that are desired more than the price I sell them for. But frequently the opportunity cost of public service activities isn't that I sell fewer goods. Instead, public service frequently occurs during leisure time. A Sunday afternoon spent working a bake sale for the local homeless shelter instead of watching televised golf generates additional value.

The ski movie premieres are starting to roll through Seattle. Poor Boyz Productions and Nimbus had their world premieres here on the 12th, Matchstick Productions arrives on October 1, Teton Gravity Research comes October 24, and Warren Miller has 28 shows within 100 miles of Seattle during November. And that's just a few of the bigger perennial favorites.
How on earth am I supposed to afford a ticket to go see each one in person? Sure it might be cheaper than buying the discs if I go alone, but it's still a chunk of change. I'd love to see these companies form some kind of joint venture like Hulu (or just latch onto an existing one) that lets me stream all of these great movies for a flat rate. Think about how great it would be to fire up Netflix Instant Watch and see all the current ski movies! Warren Miller has done a good job with Netflix, but what about the other companies?
Kudos to PBP and Nimubs for getting closer to this utopia. For one month, you can pay $10 to stream their world premiere event, including both of their movies. Some companies are also starting to digitally distribute through MobileRider.com, but it's still quite expensive.
It seems like there's a big business opportunity here for someone. Charge me $50 and then give me access to a dozen (or more!) of the ski movies coming out this winter. Having one central location would be a great way for newer film makers to get noticed and we'd all benefit from having a flood of high quality footage to tide us over until the flakes start to pile up.

Participants will focus on successful programs for youth. Educators who attend may apply to receive professional learning units through the conference.
While most of the conference is limited to participants, the 6 p.m. screening of Janks Morton's controversial film, "What Black Men Think," on March 4, will be open to the public as space permits. "What Black Men Think" has been nominated for awards by International Black Film and Media, the Harlem International Film Festival and the Afrikan History Film Festival. The movie will be shown in the ballroom of the Hyatt Regency, and Morton, who wrote, produced, and directed the movie, will discuss the film following its presentation.
The conference addresses students' academic achievement, social and emotional skills, safety and violence prevention, mental and physical health, and family and community. From across the state and the nation, it draws teachers at all levels, principals and assistant principals, school counselors and psychologists, criminal justice professionals, volunteer service providers, and others interested in the well-being of young people.
"The workshops offered at the National Youth-At-Risk Conference are a great way for people with a common interest in empowering our youth to share resources and develop collaborations," said Fayth Parks, GSU professor of leadership, technology, and human development, and a coordinator of the event. "The work that is accomplished here each year addresses an important part of the educational mission of the College of Education at Georgia Southern University."
Keynote speakers include author and motivational speaker Ron Clark, Disney 2000 Teacher of the Year and founder of the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta. Clark will share his journey from teaching in a rural area in North Carolina to the inner-city streets of Harlem in New York City.
More information about the conference schedule and a registration form are available at

don't worry guys.. I have to see those animations seven did. I still don't have them. Once I have the pieces I'll take care a lil'bit of the textures and I'll make a cool script for the transformation.. As I did with his pieces of attack mode.
This member has provided no bio about themself...
don't worry guys.. I have to see those animations seven did. I still don't have them. Once I have the pieces I'll take care a lil'bit of the textures and I'll make a cool script for the transformation.. As I did with his pieces of attack mode.
you're welcome to help if you can make some models :3
In any case, you can be a tester later.
I'll be posting for help right here as I need it
it's probably the d3d9.dll file..
Pues estaria bien, el script es con lo que estuve jugando hoy y ayer y pues cree algunas imagenes de pantalla para el nuevo KARR en photoshop..
Lo unico que si me gustaria poder hacer es tener las partes para KARR y ensamblarlas en un KARR robot y hacer el script para algo padre. Y pues desarmar a KITT Attack en objetos para el attack mode.
Sorry for that weird situation in the last couple of months.. I was studing in another country and now I have to prepare myself for some stuffs in school .. so with moving out from country to country and all this thing I couldn't work.. but yes.. all that and I hope more.. We already have SSC but is not pretty good.. I did it in 2 days and seven edited for GTA .. but we need something better.. good as the car or the series :P
Sorry guys.. I don't have an exact day for release but I'm pretty sure that It will be amazing
it will be great but if you just flip in the air or other detail will be uncomfortable that.. maybe i'll add the extinguishers (I need it efficiently) but not the flame thrower..
i'm trying to fix that problem.. but you should wait until the sign for can shot will be in screen "GGLoaded"
because KITT doesn't exist.. you have to activate the KITT Lost function because you lost KITT (:3)
the textures are all red .. before the transformation.. :3
i was just having fun .. but looks better
is not easy ¬¬
i want to .. really
But i can't figure out how
you will see it maybe in a couple of weeks.. i'm working on it.. and it's a hard model for make it like the real one..
there is not any SSC yet, just wait for it guys.. and this is the good mod.. you can download this version without the SSC
mmm i thing the properties are for a different thing.. you should make with a script invisible the car i add the KARR robot as an object.. maybe you can take it off the wheels from the robot and leave the wheels visible on the car..
That will be nice.. but i think that need a better program for be make it.. maybe you can try it modeling in 3d's or Zmodeler adding things like lights wheels and the properties for a Car
.. probably.. :P
i think the files are OK
So, probably you should open "gta_sa.reg" and click for ok ok ok and then try again to open the game
The main problem it's that the mod replace tha GTa3.img.. where are your cars
sorry.. it's clear that you have to install the mod in a clear GTA
If you don't have that install in a clear gta not only it's going to crash in that moment..it's going to crash later
look the "." but from the numpad its for parachute(in the air) the weapons.. are unloaded by press the number in the numpad of the weapon + ctrl and the tire spiker just work if there is a car in front of KITT
Sorry for don't let clear the information but i thought that was obvious Oo

The themes of leadership, cooperation, and transparency resounded through an auditorium at UCCS at a recent mayoral forum, sponsored by local media organizations. Billed as a debate featuring the four leading candidates in this year's Colorado Springs mayoral race, the 90-minute event covered topics such as transportation and regional collaboration.
Listen to the full debate here, with candidates Amy Lathen, Joel Miller, John Suthers and Mary Lou Makepeace (see below for audio of specific questions and answers):
Initial work to rebuild the aging Arkansas River levee in Pueblo is winding down. KRCC's Shanna Lewis reports that structural issues discovered during this phase will likely mean the project will cost more than originally projected.
Work began late last year to lower the height and replace the concrete facing on the levee in order to meet FEMA flood control requirements. The bottom of the 90-year-old structure is about nine feet deeper than expected, according to Rick Kidd, the administrator for the Pueblo Conservancy District, which oversees the levee.
A bi-partisan measure aimed at reducing the number of tests Colorado public school students take is in limbo at the state legislature. The sponsors delayed the first hearing and don't know when it will be rescheduled – if at all.

EOIN DOYLE reckons Hibs' stunning victory over Celtic will have Hearts shaking with nerves ahead of this week's New Year derby showdown.
The Leith outfit produced their most determined display of the campaign to see out 2012 in style with a 1-0 win over the SPL leaders on Saturday.
It was their first triumph over Celtic at home for four years and manager Pat Fenlon hailed it the biggest win since he arrived at the club 13 months ago.
Fellow Irishman Doyle agreed and feels it was the perfect pick-me-up ahead of Thursday's crunch trip to
Hibs had taken just four points from the previous 21 available before ending their dire run of results in spectacular and unexpected fashion.
Doyle is now hoping the victory will provide the Easter Road dressing room with the inspiration required to see off their bitter rivals from across the city.
He said: "The lack of consistency is disappointing but we were going through a rough patch at the start of the season and then drew 2-2 at Parkhead. That was the start of a great run for us.
"Hopefully this will inspire us again to go on a result like that.
Hibs 1 Celtic 0: Leigh Griffith strike gets Hibees back to winning ways after County defeat
"I didn't think we deserved to lose against Ross County on Boxing Day – they had a chance and took it while I had a couple of efforts and they didn't go in.
"It was just one of those games and I hope that we've now turned it around with the win against Celtic.
"We're a good team – Celtic are a cut above but everyone else is on pretty much the same level.
"After winning this it will put us in a good frame of mind for Thursday and I'm sure Hearts will be a bit nervous about it.
"It's a derby game and these are the ones you want to win.
"Motivation doesn't come into and I'm sure we can put in another good performance."
The margin of Hibs' victory could have been more comfortable had Doyle not squandered two gilt-edged chances to put the game to bed in the first half. The hitman failed to seriously trouble Fraser Forster with a free header from inside the six-yard box just after Leigh Griffiths had opened the scoring and then blazed over when clean through just before the break.
But while he feared he had blown the chance of a rare win over Celtic the striker is confident he won't be so wasteful if the same opportunities arise at Tynecastle.
He said: "It did cross my mind after my missed header that it might be costly.
"The ball hit my face, rolled down on to my chest and then into the keeper's hands.
"I'm confident if I get the same chance again I'll make sure I put it in the net.
"The result is the main thing and I'd be more disappointed if I wasn't getting the chances. I could have scored two or three.
"If I wasn't getting opportunities I'd be a worried man but the fact we held on to the result is a big positive.
"The last few games have been disappointing but we showed a bit of fire against Celtic. We were compact and showed good desire to see the result out.
"I've been in reasonably good scoring form in the last few weeks so I want that to start up again.
"I'm sure we can put in the same performance and get the same result on Thursday."
Doyle is also hoping the Hibees' morale-boosting win will help silence the critics who have been on their back for the past couple of months.
Even the home support, still scarred by last season's battle to avoid the drop, had started to vent their anger.
A chorus of boos rang out as the players walked off the pitch following the Boxing Day defeat to a Ross County side who had failed to win any of their previous 10 games.
Doyle said: "I don't listen to them anyway. We know we're capable of finishing in a high position.
"Maybe the last few games on television have been ugly – some of them maybe looked like a rugby match at times.
"But the Celtic game was a good one for any neutral at the ground and we move on to Hearts.
"This win is a good positive and another victory is what we're looking to achieve on Thursday.
"When we went on a run the crowd were behind us and they were great again against Celtic. Hopefully we can kick on from here."
Griffiths is arguably the key to whether Hibs, currently three points behind second-placed Inverness, can maintain their push to finish best of the rest behind Celtic.
The little forward, on loan from Wolves, went back to the top of the SPL scoring charts at the weekend with his 14th of the campaign.
Wolves have made it clear he doesn't have a future at Molineux and are willing to make the switch permanent providing Hibs meet their £150,000 asking price.
Doyle added: "He's a big asset to us and so sharp. His goal against Celtic was great – I don't think he even needed to look up, he knew where the goal was and just slotted it in.
"I was hoping he might shank it as I was at the back post and could have stuck it in! He's great for us and hopefully the club get something sorted."

Great and professional service, good communication.
Very quickly done, good job and fair price. Robert and Lucas were very helpful and friendly with great communication. Thank you.
Rob and his team are very knowledgeable and have a very positive attitude. They gave me a better diagnosis then the BMW garage and their honest evaluation saved me both money and time! Thank you guys!!
Fixed my van in 2 days. Excellent job.
Great experience
Really great service. Polite and professionals! Always available to contact and happy to provide any sorts of advice. I had my car on a full service and MOT. Job done within the agreed time. Will definitely return.
Very straightforward and honest, told me straight away what was going to happen and worked right away. Got my Left Wing mirror kicked off by a random drunk, they fixed it within 3 hours of receiving the parts, would recommend and the finishing product looks brand new. Very very helpful.
Great service, didn't take too long price was decent considering the damage
Excellent experience with C&R Motors! Prior to my appointment Robert's communication was spot on and no matter how many questions I had he gave professional and prompt answers. Not only was the service excellent, honest and quick but also Robert is a very polite and straightforward guy to deal with. He told me exactly what was going to happen and when and he finished when he said he would. He advised me after that there are a couple of minor issues I need to address before the next MOT. I know from experience in the past that other garages would have falsely failed the MOT and got me to pay for these unnecessarily early. He cleaned the car after the service and finished when he said he would which made planning my day easy. This was my first service since buying the car and I have just driven home very happy because the car drives so much smoother than before. I didn't realise how choppy the performance was until the full service made a MASSIVE difference noticeable afterwards. I agonised over choosing a Garage and I think I've found a gem. All in all, Robert has my business from now on. Honest business, nice people in the team and fair price. Can't ask for more. Recommended!
Very good. My Bmw 3series i318 from 2002 was having heavy misfires, rough idles and would lose power in the middle of driving. I decided to take to to C and R motors. Since they were working on a few cars already so until its my turn it would take an hour or two, so i deiced to leave the car there and come back home. Upon starting work on my car, i was kept up to date on the situation, what they found and what they were doing. The next day morning i was given a call by them telling me the car is ready to pick up. To my surprise the car had been fixed and it turns out to be a much more simple problem compared to what i actually thought. I believe it was the VVT sensor acting up. I was charged £180 with Vat for the manual labor/replacing Spark plugs with higher quality ones and the diagnostic test itself. Overall i would recommend this place, they know what they are doing and they do their job honestly.
Very satisfied with Sky motors from start to finish, great customer service too. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant Service to Cambelt and Water pump change, and also the price included a change of alternator belt which was old. The initial quote was £140 but of course they were experts enough to determine the deteriorating alternator belt which I then had to change. My car engine now feels like a brand new Audi

Nice quick job, would defintely recommend the garage!
Thanks for the fast service. My car drive smoother now
Bad service
Really nice guys, completed the work on my car and explained all work done. Would recommend to all.
Excellent and swift service. Thank you.
Got car MOT'd and serviced by Sloane Services. It was more expensive than the online quote, but that was because it needed two new shocks and two tyres, and fitting the shocks was a lot more labour. So it was good value, and it was done to time and they were a pleasure to deal with.
Helpful at providing advice!
Professional and friendly approch. Work properly done in really a short time. Highly recommented.
Good value for money. Paul was very friendly and he fixed my car In no time. Very nice and satisfactory experiance. I Will recommend to everybody who want good service. Thanks Paul, just in time to organise my trip.
Friendly and efficient service, wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Paul was really helpful and had the fan and re-wiring done within a couple of hours and I picked my car up the same day. They also cleaned it for me which was an added bonus and greatly appreciated! Im sticking with this garage from now on!
Like most car owners, I have my preferred garage but tried Paul and his team when my usual place couldn't urgently schedule a repair to pass an MOT. Paul took the car in the next day, talked me through the whole process, gave me options and completed an excellent job exactly when he said he would. Would highly recommend.
The braking system in a car is responsible for bringing your vehicle to a stop while you're driving.
Modern cars have brakes on all four wheels which are operated by a hydraulic system and are made up of several components all of which are subject to stress which could result in breakage.
The front brakes in a car are typically the ones which play the greater part in bringing a car to stop as the weight of the car is thrown forward every time the vehicle comes to a stop.
There are different systems used for braking from one car to the next which suits the needs of the vehicle size and function.
The common hydraulic system uses fluid to apply pressure to pistons in the car close to its wheels to bring the car to a halt.
Some cars also have power brake assistance which helps to reduce the amount of effort required to apply stopping power.
If you need to have your brakes repaired there are several issues that could have caused the problem and several things that could be affected.
If you suspect you need your brakes repaired but your car is still drivable, there are some symptoms which could give you clues as to what the problem is.
The brakes are often the noisiest part of a car if there is an issue which means you should be able to hear a problem which cannot be said of many other broken car parts.
Here are the tell-tale sounds and signs to look out for if your cars brakes have an issue.
This may be caused by worn out brake pads. If they are so worn down, metal will be clutching metal to stop, so the noise will not be pleasant!
This is caused if there is friction being created from the linings of the brakes which will lead to further damage being caused to the brake pads, brake linings, brake drums and rotors.
If you have squeaking brakes you could even have a stone or debris stuck in between the brake caliper and the brake pad, though this is rare.
If you would like to know more about why my brakes are squeaking, we have written a full guide for you to understand what do do and how much the repair would be to fix squeaking brakes.
All you have to do to find out why your brakes are squeaking is clicking here
This can be caused by three issues, leakage in the system, air getting into the brake linings or there is a need to adjust the brake.
You will know if there is a problem if you need to pump the brakes to just stop the car, alternatively if the pedal sinks all the way to the floor when the car is stopped the problems listed above are the most likely to be causing issue.
This happens when you have a damaged brake line, have worn the brake linings down or have uneven linings.
If you can feel brakes dragging, this is likely to be caused by contaminated fluid being in the system or the brakes not being adjusted properly.
If the brake pedal feels mushy, spongy or is slow to sink to the floor, there is a good chance that the master cylinder is to blame. The cylinder is the part responsible for applying pressure to the brakes so when that pressure is not there, there is a high chance that the master cylinder is the problem.
If the rubber seals on a master cylinder break down over time, the debris and lack of effectiveness of the part will result in the contamination of brake fluid, which turns dark brown or black in the eventuality of seal degradation.
If the engine warning light switches on, there are a huge variety of problems which could be the cause including the master cylinder. Modern cars carry a huge number of pressure sensors to detect issues within the engine. If there is a pressure change, it could be the result of the master cylinder breaking.
As soon as you notice any of these problems, it is vital that you address the issue.
A mechanic is best qualified to carry out checks due to the variety of components, fluids and materials used to make up a braking system.
If you choose to ignore a drop in performance, you are putting your vehicle and everybody inside at risk.
When you have your brakes repaired, it is also important to ensure that you and your mechanic keep the following points in mind.
When you are having your brake pads replaced, you should also have your discs replaced and ensure each axle has its own new set.
During the first 200km the performance of your new brakes may not be tip top as they need to 'bed in' you should therefore avoid heavy braking if it can be helped during this time.
After the installation you should also pump the brake pedal until it becomes stiff to break the new equipment in however you should also ensure the wheels freely rotate when the pedal is not pushed down.
By following this advice you will ensure your brakes serve your vehicle in the best possible way.
Brake pads and discs are the most common form of brake repair. The brake discs spin with your car's wheels and the brake pads are pushed against the discs when you apply the brake pedal in order to bring your car to a halt.
For more information visit our brake pads and discs page.
Brake calipers hold the brake pads against the discs when the brakes are applied so a car cannot come to a stop without them being fully operational.
The brake caliper acts like a clamp when bringing the car to a stop and it needs to be able to grip the disc properly and apply enough pressure to work properly.
Brake caliper repair can consist of fixing the existing part, however, there is a high chance that the brake caliper will be replaced if there is a major problem as refurbishing a brake caliper or attempting to apply a fix may not completely repair the part.
Brake fluid is critical for the brake system and brake fluid problems are common when it comes to brake repairs. If the brake fluid drops below a certain level, a drivers ability to bring a car to a halt will drop rapidly. This often happens due to a leak as a result of rust.
Brake fluid will always be checked during a full service or an MOT and if the level is too low, a mechanic will check for a leak as this is the most common cause of low brake fluid.
If you have not had a full service and you are not due an MOT for a good while, it is always good practice to check your own car fluid levels, including brake fluid levels. The brake fluid container is located beneath the hood of the car and close to the bottom of the windshield. Check the brake fluid level by unscrewing the lid and peering into the container. Our fluid levels guide gives more information on checking your brake fluid.
An anti-lock braking system is used by many modern cars. This method of braking has been implemented as a safety measure as it allows a car to maintain tractive contact with the road as the brakes are applied and a car comes to a stop.
If you are wandering how do you use ABS brakes, then don't worry, the ABS braking system is automatically applied to a car when the brakes are pressed, you don't need to do anything different.
Cars with an ABS system will also be subject to the ABS light coming on at one time or another and if this happens, you need to take the car to a garage to have the issue looked at as the system may no longer be fully operational. If the ABS light AND brake light switch are on at the same time, it is critically important that you get to a local garage as soon as possible.
Brake rotors is another name for brake discs and if you would like more information on this subject, we have an entire page dedicated to brake pads and discs.
The master cylinder is a vital part of the braking system as it serves as the main valve through which brake fluid is channelled to the brake lines and onto the brake calipers which in turn, grip the brake pads which clamp onto the brake disc to bring a car to a halt.
A master cylinder controls the flow of brake fluid and so if there is a fault, the car will not be able to stop properly.
Brake lines carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers. Brake lines are subject to deterioration from the result of rust damage and brake fluid leakage. If the brake lines break, then fluid cannot be carried to the brake calipers and you will not be able to stop your car. That is why it is so important to keep an eye on a drop in performance of your braking power as a reduction may highlight a problem with the brake lines.
Backing plates hold brake discs in place and are what they are mounted upon. There is not a huge amount of problems when it comes to backing plates as the part is simply there to hold another part in place. The biggest issue could be that the part becomes dislodged from the result of an impact.
The most common form of handbrake problems is when the handbrake cable snaps and a new one needs to be fitted. A new handbrake cable is not expensive and fitting the part is not a complex job so you should not have to pay a lot in labour.
If you think your handbrake is close to snapping, it is critical that you take your car to a garages as soon as possible. If you leave your car parked on an incline and the handbrake cable snaps while you are away from the vehicle, it could suddenly start rolling down a hill and pose a serious risk to pedestrians and other drivers.
The handbrake cable is made of metal and so, being exposed to the elements, will deteriorate over time. Rust may be a cause of the handbrake cable to weaken and snap.
One of the most obvious signs that your handbrake cable is close to snapping, is that the handbrake itself will pull up higher than usual.

Addie Belle Roberts celebrated her 100th birthday Saturday with friends and family at American Legion Post 71's new building on East Spring Grove Avenue. She turns 100 today.
She grew up on a 240-acre farm in LaFayette, Ga., before moving to North Augusta in 1984. She said her favorite task was "chopping the cotton." The family also grew corn and planted timber on the rest of the farm.
Roberts is one of eight siblings, and the only one still living. There was an 18-year age gap between her and her oldest sister, she said.
Roberts went into nursing, graduating with the Class of 1934 from Baroness Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tenn. She retired in 1981 at the age of 70.
"I always liked doing things for other people," she said. "I thought I'd really enjoy that."
After she retired, she moved to North Augusta to live closer to her two daughters, Beverly Roberts and Gail Turner.
Roberts got involved in the community, joining the Order of the Eastern Star, Sheffield Fellowship and Senior Adult Choir at First Baptist Church of North Augusta and Hephzibah Lions Club.
For about 13 years, she performed blood pressure checks for members of Sheffield, she said. Between the Lions Club and Sheffield, she became known as the "tea lady."
"I would always do the fair," she said of fundraisers she was involved in with the Lions Club. Her role was to serve the tea.
Roberts says her biggest accomplishment is her family. She also said the secret to living a long life is eating good, believing in the Lord and following the Ten Commandments.

Treasury �Inspector General for Tax Administration
Inspections and Evaluations
Highlights of Report Number:� 2011-IE-R006 to the Internal Revenue Service Human Capital Officer.
In 2003 and 2008, TIGTA reviewed the Internal Revenue Service�s (IRS) Workers� Compensation Program and made recommendations to improve internal controls.� This review was conducted to determine whether the IRS implemented corrective actions related to those recommendations.� Additionally, we assessed the IRS�s compliance with the Safety, Health, and Return to Employment (SHARE) initiative, and the Protecting Our Workers and Ensuring Reemployment (POWER) initiative.
TIGTA recommended that the IRS consider making workers� compensation awareness part of the annual mandatory briefings for managers.
IRS management agreed that additional training in the workers' compensation area could be beneficial for managers; however, the curriculum for mandatory briefings is currently full.� Therefore, management plans to consider the use of alternative media for workers� compensation training.
TIGTA agreed with the alternative solution proposed by the IRS.
Issued on June 6, 2011
A Follow-Up Evaluation of
The IRS had 2,610 active workers� compensation claims as of August 2010.� New claims for workers� compensation as well as the total cost to the IRS of workers� compensation claims have generally declined over the past five years.� Total workers� compensation costs have decreased from $46.7 million in Fiscal Year 2006 to $44.8 million in Fiscal Year 2010, although there was a slight increase from 2009 to 2010 due to increased medical costs.
TIGTA found that the IRS�s programs for returning injured employees to work have been largely successful and that the IRS has implemented corrective actions to all prior recommendations.� The IRS has been generally successful in meeting the goals set for the SHARE and POWER initiatives, with the exception of the goals for timely filing of claims.
First-line managers primarily control the management of workers� compensation claims and actions, including the timely filing of the initial claims.� It is the IRS�s responsibility to provide training and assistance to its managers when performing duties related to workers� compensation.� Video training materials have been developed to address the managers� responsibilities for a workers� compensation claim.� However, these videos are not universally distributed.� In addition, while the IRS plans to put the video training material on an intranet website, it has not established a date of completion.

Tokyo Electric Says Reactor's Fuel Rods May Be Melting After Record Quake
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said fuel rods may be melting inside a nuclear reactor, heightening the danger of a meltdown as engineers struggle to stabilize the plant damaged by the biggest earthquake in Japan's history.
The cooling system failed at the Daiichi No. 2 reactor yesterday, said Tokyo Electric, which runs the Fukushima nuclear plant 220 kilometers (135 miles) north of Tokyo. The fuel rods were exposed for a second time after water levels dropped, the company, known as Tepco, said early today.
Earlier a hydrogen explosion struck the No. 3 reactor, following a similar blast on March 12 at the No. 1 unit that destroyed the walls of its building. The utility has been flooding the three reactors with water and boric acid to reduce the potential for a large release of radiation following the March 11 earthquake-generated tsunami that smashed into the plant, disabling power supply and backup generators.
"It's a situation that is requiring emergency measures to cool the reactors," Andre-Claude Lacoste, chairman of French nuclear watchdog Autorite de Surete Nucleaire, said in Paris March 14. "If there is a complete meltdown of a core we will have a much more serious accident on our hands."
An air flow gauge was accidentally turned off at the No. 2 reactor causing air pressure into the reactor to rise suddenly and blocking the flow of cooling water, Tokyo Electric said in a press conference posted on NHK television's website early today. Tokyo Electric is now attempting to reopen the valve to release pressure building inside the reactor and inject water to cool the rods, the company said.
Radiation Concerns
Japanese officials yesterday evacuated more than 200,000 people and handed out iodine, used to protect the thyroid from radioactivity, as they extended an exclusion zone around the plant to 20 kilometers.
Radiation levels reached 3,130 microsieverts an hour at the monitoring site near the gate of the plant as of 9:37 p.m. local time, twice the previous record, Tokyo Electric said. That level dropped to 326.2 microsieverts per hour at 10:35 p.m.
Prevailing winds in the area were heading east into the Pacific, which would carry radiation away, the Associated Press reported, citing Japan's meteorological agency.
U.S Navy ships and planes involved in earthquake rescue efforts were moved after radiation was detected on three helicopters.
"Low level radioactivity" was detected on 17 air crew members when they returned to the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier operating about 100 miles northeast from the plant, Navy spokesman Jeff Davis said in an e-mail.
Mounting Pressure
The vessel containing the No. 3 reactor's radioactive core is intact after yesterday's blast, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters. The likelihood of a large radiation leak is very small, even as radiation levels at the No. 3 reactor are rising, said Edano, the government's spokesman.
At least four employees and two contractors were injured in the blast, Tokyo Electric said. The company's shares slumped 24 percent.
There are six boiling-water reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, three of which were shut for maintenance before the earthquake.
Unit No. 1 is a General Electric Co. (GE) model that can generate 439 megawatts of power and began commercial operation in 1971, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. The No. 2 reactor was built by GE Toshiba and the No. 3 by Toshiba Corp.
Sea Water
Tokyo Electric said the sea water used to cool the reactors is being retained at the plant. "We will look into what we will do about the water," spokesman Shogo Fukuda said by phone.
Flooding the reactors with sea water renders them useless for future power production. The practice is "horrible," Lacoste of the French nuclear watchdog said. It's never been the subject of experimentation because reactors normally require water that is as clean as possible so as not to clog up pipes and cooling circuits.
The disaster at Fukushima isn't the first quake-related accident for Tokyo Electric.
A 6.8-magnitude temblor on July 16, 2007, caused a fire and radiation leaks that shut down the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear plant, the world's biggest. It took almost two years to restart.

The conflict began in 1985, when Jamaican patty purveyors in Toronto were informed their wares failed to conform to the federal Meat Inspection Act's definition of a "beef patty," reserved for the slab of meat typically used for hamburger. Fastidious food inspectors told patty peddlers to change the name of the dish + remove "beef patty" from signs + advertising. Scofflaws were threatened w/ fines. Unwilling to part w/ their heritage, Jamaican restaurants in the city banded together + threatened legal action. Grassroots groups sprang up to defend their precious patties + the Jamaican consulate in Toronto was flooded w/ angry phone calls. The kerfuffle made international headlines, particularly in Jamaica. Eventually, Ottawa backed down + allowed patty vendors to retain the name.

Rogue behind the brogue
Colin Farrell has embraced a different F-word - fatherhood - but he's still a lad at heart.
Colin Farrell was 17 when he lived for a year in Sydney. ''Goulburn Street, off Oxford. Darlington Towers, the 18th floor, '' he recalls, in his usual rapid-fire way of speaking.
''Why? Just for the f--- of it. Had a great time. Used to drink at the Judgement Bar in Taylor Square with all the reprobates. Worked in a bank - you'd employ anyone there. I hadn't even finished school and they put me in a bank.''
The 36-year-old says he hasn't touched a drop since checking into rehab in 2005 after filming Miami Vice. The father of two also apparently uses the F-word less frequently - although today he's slipped up already.
''I don't know why [I swear less],'' Farrell says, ''I just don't feel the need. If I had six beers in my belly now and two glasses of Johnnie Walker I would probably be throwing a few more curses around.''
But his reforms didn't prevent him being cast as an expletive-loving, heavy-drinking Irishman in Seven Psychopaths, Martin McDonagh's follow-up to In Bruges.
Farrell draws on his misspent youth to portray a writer struggling to pen the screenplay of the film's title - until he realises there are some deliriously deranged people before his very eyes.
Still, Farrell's not a total degenerate in Seven Psychopaths. He's the eyes of the audience, observing the absurd behaviour of his best friend (Sam Rockwell), who works with a dog-napper (Christopher Walken). Walken and Rockwell manage to steal the wrong dog, a shih-tzu, owned and obsessively loved by a maniacal gang boss, played by Woody Harrelson.
Meanwhile, Abbie Cornish, as Farrell's feisty Australian girlfriend, is the target of Rockwell's racist and sexist barbs. Originally, the character was intended to be Asian, then McDonagh (whose sister-in-law is Australian) decided to have a crack at the Australians because, he says, ''They can take it.''
''The Australians and the Irish are quite self-deprecating by nature, I think,'' Farrell says. ''We know how to have a good laugh at ourselves.''
Has Farrell been the butt of Irish jokes since becoming famous? ''I think I've been the victim of, and I think I've been the purveyor of. Sure, yeah, why not? So long as there's no meanness to it and that's the whole thing here.
''Martin's work at times is so irreverent and so un-PC and some of the stuff that I've said … I mean, I have a child with special needs and in In Bruges I said, 'If I'd grown up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me.'
''But since they're films that are made for adults, you hope people interpret things in the manner we intended. If anything, we are poking holes at the ignorance of people.''
Farrell says he has mellowed ''a bit'', even if settling down doesn't seem to be on the cards. After dating Amelia Warner for four months in 2001 (their much-reported Tahitian marriage ceremony was never legal), he's had two children from short-lived relationships. James was born to American model Kim Bordenave in 2003, and Henry to Farrell's Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda-Curus in 2009.
Farrell says he's a devoted father: ''My kids inspire me.'' For seven years he has lived in Los Angeles at least in part to be near them.
He was reluctant to move to Hollywood at first. As the youngest of four children, to housewife Rita and small-business owner Eamon, he didn't want to leave his family and friends. His sister Claudine has long worked as his personal assistant.
''I was terrified that when I got home to Ireland that people would go, 'Ooh, look at you, you have changed,''' the actor says.
''So I think part of the cursing in early interviews - 'fook this' and 'fook that', 'I don't give a fook', 'fook, fook, fook' - it was just a kid trying to hold on to his Irishness, really.''
Farrell's rise to fame had been swift following his roles in television's Ballykissangel and Joel Schumacher's movie Tigerland in 2000. He's made a remarkable 27 films since, including hits Minority Report, Phone Booth and Horrible Bosses.
''For years I went back-to-back-to-back in films,'' he explains. ''I did like six films in 18 months at one stage and had two weeks off and a week off between them and then crazy! I just got completely lost and now I have more time, or I am OK when I am not doing anything.''
He followed up In Bruges with a wider range of roles in smaller films, including his turn as a Russian thug in Peter Weir's World War II drama The Way Back. ''I'd do anything for Peter,'' Farrell says.
Even if his first mainstream big-budget film in a while, the $125 million Total Recall, made close to $180 million internationally, it was panned by critics.
''I was really disappointed,'' he says, suddenly downtrodden. ''It was the first time I ever read reviews, which was f---in' pretty good timing.
''But because I have more of a life outside of it now, it didn't go in as deep as other things that I have worked on in the past.''
Farrell bares his teeth for some fur fatale banter
An unlikely star bouncing across the stage at the Toronto International Film Festival's raucous midnight world premiere of Seven Psychopaths was Bonny, the shih-tzu who was dog-napped in the film. When the subject of Colin Farrell's fluffy white co-star came up during our subsequent interview, the Irishman's gift for blarney was in full effect.
Farrell No animal is getting massacred [in the making of this film].
Helen Barlow Did you get on all right with Bonny?
Farrell Yeah, she was all right, yeah she was lovely [frowns].
HB What are you talking about?
Farrell Yeah, she was ... I wasn't that ... she's a bit too ...
HB Are you a big-dog guy? You don't like the little dogs?
Farrell It depends. You can't quantify the size of a spirit by the body it inhabits! Bonny was a little bit too Rodeo Drive for me. I'm calling it out now. A little bit too [posh, feigns an uppity dog pose]. I respect Bonny. I thought she did fantastic work on the film. I would work with her again because there was no animosity and the work was really strong. But I have met dogs that I like more.
HB Do you have a dog and what's it called?
Farrell I don't have a dog but I like all animals. I really do. If I have to kill a fly, I f---ing curse myself.
HB Really?
Farrell Yeah, shit man.
HB What about a mosquito?
Farrell Why? What do you know about the secrets within a mosquito? What do you know about a mosquito and where it comes from? What do you know about its family? I don't know. I am not saying I know, I am saying I don't know. It scares the shit out of me.
Seven Psychopaths opens on November 8.

With the arrival of summer and vacation, beach, sun, sea and pool become part of everyones agenda. And women, more careful, think about protecting your skin with lots of sunscreen and creams, and caring for the body with physical activity, diet and hydration. But 90% of people forget that there are other parts of the body that need a lot of care, such as hair .
According to Dr. Cassian Squire, Chemist IPclin (Integrated Clinical Research Institute Ltd.) sand, pool chlorine, sun rays, wind and sea salt damage the health of the hair and cause them to lose a lot of water and protein and staying dry, faded and split ends.
All this destruction, often not felt at the time and only we realize when we returned from vacation, he emphasizes.
In summerwatch video people need to redouble hair care, so they do not get too damaged. It is known that for good health of hair need to protect them against ultraviolet radiation. Hair is composed by more than 95% protein and expose to the sun when the intense, especially in summer, breakage of the hair protein structure occurs and result are more fragile, brittle, dull, dehydrated and discolored hair.
There are new technologies embedded in hair cosmetic formulations that bring numerous benefits. Individuals should look for shampoos, conditioners, masks and styling creams that contain sunscreens, explains chemist.
For Cassian Squire simple precautions can help keep hair healthy all summer. Professional answers the questions most attend in hairdressing salons and that will help prevent problems.
What precautions should people take to the wires so they do not dry out after swimming and / or pool?
To prevent drying after these intemperismos is recommended to seek the use of cosmetic formulations and high-tech performance.
It makes a difference out in the sun using a cream with sunscreen? It is the ideal?
Yes, you can make all the difference. Leave-in products typically have a higher concentration of assets that protect the hair. Certainly, prevention is always better than cure as the saying goes.
Is there any problem wash your hair every day this season?
It is difficult to speak because the frequency of cleaning is difficult to change the habit of the consumer, but the more physico-chemical exposure have this hair throughout the day, it is suggested that the cosmetic hair treatment is also proportional in order to minimize the unwanted effects.
Make moisturizing helps protect hair? How many times a week is ideal?
Yes, helps prevent breakage or decreased natural shine or decreased alertness hair color. The average was two to a maximum of three times a week.
Which products are best for your hair in the summer?
Professional products containing the entire line (shampoo, conditioner, mask and cream to comb) sunscreen of high technology.
The use of dryers at this time causes damage to the hair? What?
Yes very much so. Actually cause damage not only in summer but in any season. Damage is split ends, dryness, discoloration of hair dye and more brittle hair. The split ends can appear for several reasons. The main ones are: dry hair, excessive use of flat iron / dryers / brushing, smoothing, dyes and discoloration.
What types of hair are most affected by wear caused by the sun and chlorine?
Dyed / bleached hair are the ones who suffer most because wear passed a physical chemist prior due to such exposure. Both the internal structure (the cortex) of the hair as the external structure (cuticle) for damage often only partially reversible with shocks of cosmetic treatment professional lines.
The blond hair suffer more from the impact of the sun and salt water? What hair suffers the most?
The blond hair have more pheomelanin (lighter pigment in melanocytes) than eumelanin (darker pigment in melanocytes). Thus, lighter hair suffer more damage than dark, but this also depends on other factors. Examples: much depends on the history of chemical treatments (dyes, discolorations, exposure to chlorine, salt, progressive) and physical (dryers, flat irons, brushes, etc.), ie, the history of each hair is very important to judge whether the course is more or less tolerable with respect to the new exhibits. This varies greatly from individual to individual.

They want your vote, so they've been to visit our area.
The European elections will be held on Thursday, and prospective candidates across the nation have been out and about on the campaign trail.
The public will choose seven people to represent the East of England on the European Parliament – and some of them have visited Dacorum.
Current Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the area Richard Howitt recently visited Save the Children's shop in Tring High Street.
The Labour man – who is standing for reelection – put his name to the charity's Manifesto for Children's Rights, which is supported by 13 children's organisations across Europe.
He said: "I know from the strength of feeling here amidst the Save the Children staff and volunteers in Tring that the next European Parliament must ensure we put children first.
"How Europe treats its children will determine its future."
Richard also spoke to voters in Hemel Hempstead on Saturday. Green Party transport spokesman Rupert Read – who is also standing on Thursday – recently visited Berkhamsted.
He went to the town's railway station and former police station to gather the public's views on traffic congestion, air pollution, town centre development and other matters.
He said: "I want to bring a transport revolution to the East, centred upon public transport and on reduction of dangerously-high emissions."
Only two of the seven MEPs who currently represent the East of England, who are both standing for reelection, turned up to a recent hustings event in Hemel Hempstead
Three prospective MEPs were there, meaning that UKIP, the Lib Dems, Labour, the Tories and the Greens were represented.
The East of England vote spans six counties including Herts. MEPs are selected using the d'Hondt method of party list representation. Candidates are not voted for individually in the European elections. Voters instead select the party they would prefer to be represented by.
The region is represented by three Tories, two UKIP members, one Lib Dem and one Labour member now.
