Looking for a better way to recover from your most intense workouts? The fitness experts at Force Factor® have harnessed the power of the amino acid l-glutamine to create Glutamine, a premium support supplement designed to help improve endurance and reduce recovery time.

Every athlete knows how important recovery is after working out. There's no reason to take a chance on questionable, potentially harmful supplements. Glutamine increases the level of l-glutamine in your system, which works to speed up your body's natural recovery process, helping you get the results you've been working toward.

Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins that generate muscle, and glutamine is one of the primary free-form amino acids in your skeletal muscles. Taking Glutamine can be crucial for recovery—the Power Recovery Complex™ replenishes the glutamine depleted during tough workouts, reducing the breakdown of muscle tissue and helping you recover more quickly. The more l-glutamine you have in your body, the faster your recovery time and the sooner you can get back to working out.

There's no need to spend week after week in the gym without seeing results. Take Glutamine before your workout to help increase your endurance, and again after your workout to help promote muscle repair. With Glutamine, you'll be able to Unleash Your Potential™ and build the body you've been craving.

US:Ford’s Volvo, led by new S80, moving into higher gear

Ford’s Volvo, led by new S80, moving into higher gear

But image confused; Are Volvos exciting, or at one with nature?

By Neil Winton
The Detroit News

Photo's by Global Auto Index

BASTAD, Sweden - Volvo’s new S80 flagship sedan is a nice looking car, maybe uncannily like the old one; but well, nice.

I doubt if potential buyers will be getting too excited about the styling.

Volvo’s public relations machine is, though.

“The inspiration for the car very much comes from nature. It’s like how water has formed a coastline or how the flow of a stream cutting though the landscape feels very natural and comfortable,” says Volvo’s publicity material.

“The exterior has a similar shape as the grey cliffs by the ocean, gently rounded by the water but still holding on to their sharp distinctive features.”

This is, of course, a car which is big enough to seat 5 in comfort, boasts a 4.4 litre, 315 bhp V8 engine, four-wheel drive, and spews out a considerable amount of CO2.

The interior sparks off more potty hyperbole.

“Or look at the upper part of the instrument panel, resembling an untouched snow-covered meadow on a winter’s day,” says Volvo.

Volvo knows that it has to fend off leading luxury marques like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus if its new car is to be successful, so we can forgive a bit of hype.

And Volvo, owned by Ford since 1999 and part of its Premier Automotive Group (PAG), is a company on the march.

Up 60 per cent

Production is set to grow by almost 60 per cent between 2005 and 2012, from just over 445,000 to 706,000, according to automotive con******cy CSM Worldwide.

Ford could do with a bit of help. It lost a net $1.19 billion in 2006’s first quarter compared with net income of $1.12 billion in the same period of 2005. North American auto operations lost $457 million before taxes compared with a pre-tax profit of $664 million a year earlier. Other bits of PAG, which includes Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin, are struggling with profitability. Volvo seems to be doing well, although Ford doesn’t reveal the financial details of PAG companies.

PAG reported a pre-tax profit, excluding special items, of $163 million for the first quarter, compared with a pre-tax loss of $55 million for the same period in 2005. In all of 2005, PAG lost $100 million, with the biggest red numbers probably coming from Jaguar, and the most profits from Volvo.

Little C30, XC-50 will lead the charge

“Volvo will be the motor of growth in Europe (for Ford) in the next 6 years. It has the right products, the right brand image, and the right platform strategy including blue oval (Ford) products and the rest of the Premier Automotive Group to capitalise on the scale they already have going forward,” said Andrew Wright, CSM’s Senior Analyst, European Vehicle Forecasts.

Ford’s new platform strategy calls for the new Mondeo family saloon, to be unveiled later this year, to spawn a big range of products including the Ford Galaxy and Ford S-Max MPVs, and the Land Rover Freelander (to be called the LR2 in the U.S.), Jaguar X-type replacement, Volvo V-70 estate car, and the S80, according to Wright.

The trick is, Wright says, is to make sure that although many cars will be the same under the skin, some, like the Volvo S40, can sell for prices much higher than its sibling, the Ford Focus.

Volvo is also extending its range downwards later this year with the C30, a three-door hot hatchback. And experts expect a new XC-50 SUV, to fit in below the highly successful XC-90.

Philip Rosengarten, analyst with Global Insight in Frankfurt, Germany, and co-author of a new book “Premium Power”, believes the XC-50, likely to launched in late 2008, will be the key to faster growth for Volvo.

“The XC-50 small SUV has quite a growth potential for Volvo,” said Rosengarten.

Global Insight reckons Volvo production will reach 453,000 in 2006, up a bit from 2005’s 450,000, but will spurt ahead to 530,000 in 2007, and 580,000 in 2008.

600,000 by 2009

Volvo CEO Fredrik Arp has said sales will hit 600,000 by 2009.

“600,000 by 2009? That’s not unachievable, but a bit of a stretch. The XC-50 is the key,” said Rosengarten.

Rosengarten believes Ford’s management of Volvo has been impressive, as it has resisted the temptation to manage it like a volume brand. He believes that so-called premium brands like Volvo must be innovation-led and Volvo has done this with safety, and customer focus. The XC-90 SUV for instance, was the first 4x4 to boast a computerised device which intervened if it detected the vehicle was about to tip over.

Professor Peter Cooke of Nottingham Trent University’s Motor Industry Management School, in the English midlands, is not so sure of the strength of Volvo’s position.

“Volvo seems to be almost caught in a time warp. Is it a luxury car, or is everybody else catching up. And it used to have green credentials, but everybody else is doing that,” said Cooke.

Which way is it facing?

When Volvo unveiled the new S80 at the Geneva Car Show in March, the company seemed to be almost schizophrenic in its approach, caught between two stools. It felt the need to appeal to the tree huggers and sandal-wearers, hence it’s warm words about how close the design of the car was to nature, and snow covered fields in the morning, but it was also anxious to underline the fact that this car was also a bit of a whizz bang goer, with Volvo’s first V8 muscle motor in a sedan.

Because of its reputation, you would have expected Volvo to have been leading the way with new forms of environmentally friendly engines like hybrids, although the company does offer bio-fuel motors.

Cooke said Volvo is working on repositioning itself and reinventing its green credentials.

“Profits and volume aren’t what they used to be, so Volvo hasn’t been able to go into hybrids, it doesn’t have the cashflow to support it,” Cooke said.

“Volvo is trying to move upmarket again with the S80 and move back into the lower end of the luxury market, trying to move above the household market, and out of the mainstream where you are competing with the volume manufacturers.”

Reinvent environmental credentials

“Volvo needs to reinvent its environmental credentials and it’s looking to get back the unique brand image it used to have. And it makes sense, lots of people are still looking to traditional values of safety and comfort, lots of people are saying ‘I’ve got as far as I want in terms of cars’ and look to protect that. Volvo has lost loyalty and needs to get it back,” said Cooke.

John Wormald, analyst with automotive con******cy Autopolis, disagrees, and believes Ford has done a good job of stewardship, and reckons Volvo is heading in the right direction.

“Volvo has certainly improved their cars in terms of styling, interior finish and driveability. They’ve done a very good job with their long established style and personality of their own. They’ve got good market positions too with a balance between Europe and America, and the Far East,” said Wormald.

“Styling is continuous, it’s not a flashy brand, no Chris Bangle at work here,” he said.

Bangle is the controversial BMW designer who has transformed its cars from being relatively unobtrusive and conservative, to the more look-at-me edges of the BMW 5 and 3 series, and so-called “flame-surfaced” styling of the BMW Z4 roadster.

“Volvo buyers are still the ones with old money,” said Wormald.

So will the S80 do the business for Volvo, when it goes on sale in the U.S. late this year? Sales start in Europe this summer.

Volvo says it wants to sell 50,000 S80s a year, 20,000 in the U.S., and 20,000 in Europe, that compares with the previous models peak of 80,000 hit in 1999.

The early portents are good.

Loopy exaggerations

The S80s interior, despite the loopy exaggerations, is simply fabulous. The tan leather on the car I drove was beautiful, the seats comfy and luxurious, and the dash board was as impressive as, well, a snow-covered meadow on a winter’s day, to coin a phrase. I especially liked the central console, which gives the impression of wrapping around you, a bit like a Range Rover’s cockpit.

The car is a bit bigger than the old one - all new from the ground up - says Volvo, with a wider track and longer wheelbase, but that doesn’t generate much extra room inside. This extra space has been commandeered by Volvo’s safety types to make better crumple zones and passenger protection. The Side Impact Protection System has been improved with a new type of side collision airbag which has two chambers, one for the hips and one for the chest.

U.S. buyers get a choice of two engines - the top of the range V8, and a 3.2 litre 238 bhp straight six. Europeans also can choose a 2.5 litre 200 bhp petrol or two diesels - the D5 - a 2.4 litre five cylinder 185 bhp, and a 2.4 litre 163 bhp motor. The V8, from the XC-90 SUV, will be available with 4-wheel drive (also from the XC-90), and lesser versions may also progressively be available with 4x4.

No word yet on U.S. prices. In Europe, prices start at €35,200 including taxes ($44,200) for the least powerful diesel S version, and peak out at a whopping €60,299 ($76,100) for the V8 SE Lux. Everything but the S range gets leather seats as standard. The range is completed by SE and SE Sport.

Bjorn Borg

The best selling S80 in Europe is likely to be the D5, and although it was a bit noisier than expected when pressed on the roads around this southern Sweden resort and tennis centre, where Bjorn Borg started his career with a tournament win in 1974 aged 17, it powered the S80 along with terrific acceleration and quietness on the motorway. The six-cylinder automatic box was unobtrusive and efficient. Handling was impeccable, although perhaps not up to the electrifying standard set by the BMW 5 series.

Volvo said it has tuned the suspension to make the car drive much more sharply, and it offers three automatic suspension damping modes - comfort, sport and advanced.

This being a Volvo, you would expect some new ideas about safety. The S80 has Adaptive Cruise Control, which keeps the car a safe distance away from the car in front, and automatically brakes or accelerates to keep a safe distance.

Primes brakes for action

The S80 also has Collision Warning with Brake Support, which primes the brakes for action if the system detects that a collision is imminent, and flashes a warning as a head-up display suggesting you brake without delay. A blind spot indicator warns you if a car is overtaking out of sight of your wing mirror.

Even the car’s key contributes to safety. It will tell you if an intruder is in your car when you approach it at night by sensing the presence of an alien heartbeat. It will also have enough memory to tell you if you’ve remembered to lock the car.

Volvo types couldn’t stop themselves waxing lyrical about the S80. The car “radiates something nobody else can offer - Scandinavian Luxury - luxury with a smart, human touch inviting an intelligent mix of design and technology. Inside it’s comfortable like a living room experience compared with an airport lounge where you can feel the tension in the air.”

Volvo won’t win any prizes for the subtly of its high-falutin bombast, but the new S80s combination of class, safety and price makes it an interesting and appealing choice, and a capable leader of Volvo’s charge for growth.

My first car was a 67 Mustang Coupe, 2nd one was a 67 Cougar XR-7, 3rd one was a 66 Mustang Coupe. Why did I get rid of these cars for ? I know why, because I'm stupid, stupid, stupid.

My next Ford.....

I have an 04 fusion 1.4tdci with 117k - when driving roughly between 45 to 50mph in 5th gear uner light acceleration there is a noticeable slight judder - it stops if I decelerate or accelerate harder.Also noticeable in other gears when driving fairly slowly and with minimal acceleration.

Otherwise the car drives fine - it feels a bit similar to 'hunting' in a petrol car

Have read a few posts about similar problem but no solutions

Still have a fully functional EGR? Used to have it but since i blocked the EGR valve it is gone (still have a 6 mm hole in the plate, gonna replace it with a full plate).

I can now accelerate from idle engine speed without any hesitation or judder. Drives a lot nicer this way.

Think it's because the engine gets exhaust gasses through the EGR when on partial load and doesn't like it. Same as we would breath in a bag so we would breath in "used" air with just a little hole for fresh air, we wouldn't like it either.

Senior moment or Alzheimer's disease?

October 19, 2011
By Mary Lou Williams, M. Ed. , Fort Myers Beach Bulletin, Fort Myers Beach Observer

Dementia is not a normal consequence of aging. However, as we age, our memory is not as good as it used to be. Of course, nothing is as good as it used to be. But in the case of memory, we worry that it could be Alzheimer's. What is the difference between the normal forgetfulness of aging and Alzheimer's disease? What follows are twelve warning signs of Alzheimer's disease and how they differ from normal aging.

1. Absence of the "Ah-ha" factor. A warning sign of Alzheimer's disease is the absence of the "Ah-ha{ experience, that is, the absence of the sense of recollection. People with Alzheimer's disease forget that they have forgotten. They forget often, never recall, and repeatedly ask the same question, forgetting the earlier answer.

When I was a young woman, I saw exactly this symptom in an elderly widow. She was my landlady. I rented an apartment in her house across the street from my brother and his family. She had taken to greeting me when I came home from work and chatting before I went upstairs to my apartment. One day I mentioned to her that my brother and his family were moving to another state. She was visibly startled. She grasped the banister. Her eyes widened. "What!" she exclaimed. "Your brother is moving! But he's lived here for so long!"

We talked about why he was moving and where and when. I then asked her about her health and her relatives, the usual polite small talk. As I turned to go into my apartment, I said how much I would miss my niece and nephew when my brother moved. She was visibly startled. She grasped the banister. Her eyes widened. "What!: she exclaimed, "Your brother is moving! But he's lived here for so long!: I looked at her in amazement. But she wasn't putting me on. This same scenario was repeated again a few minutes later. Within the span of five minutes, she had forgotten what she had just heard twice before.

What's normal? Forgetting names and appointments on occasion or losing your train of thought when interrupted.

2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks. People with Alzheimer's disease forget how to make a telephone call, how to use the microwave, lose track of the steps in making a meal they've made many times before.

What's normal? Walking into a room and forgetting what you came for. "I know I came in here for a reason. Now what was it?" Needing the help of a teenager to work your VCR, forget TIVO.

3. Difficulty with language. A person with Alzheimer's may forget simple words like clock of broom or toothbrush. Clock becomes the thing that tells time. Broom becomes the thing that sweeps the floor. Toothbrush becomes the thing I use to clean my teeth.

What's normal? Having trouble finding the right word, but not the name of your spouse.

4. Disorientation as to time and place. People with Alzheimer's can become lost in their own neighborhood, forget where they are and how they got there, and not know how to get home again.

I witnessed someone in just this situation about two years ago. I live in a condominium development where the villas are situated around an oval green. There is a walkway around the green and a pathway from the back door of each of the villas leading to the common walkway. One warm, sunny afternoon I was cleaning the oven. All of a sudden, I became aware that there was someone in my living room. I screamed before I realized that my unannounced visitor was my across-the-green neighbor. He was standing in the middle of my living room in his bathing suit and a straw hat, holding a towel. He looked as bewildered and startled as I was. After the initial shock, I regained my composure and asked him as calmly as I could what he was doing there. He was on his way home form the pool. "I thought this was my house,." he said. "They all look alike, you know." I agreed that they did. I showed him where his house was - directly across the green from mine - and watched him wobble his way to his back door, and then I locked mine.

A person with Alzheimer's disease can wake up in the dark at six in the morning, look at the clock and think it's dinner time.

What's normal? Forgetting the day of the week and/or the date, but usually not the year.

5. Poor judgment. A person with Alzheimer's may dress inappropriately, wearing pajamas and a bathrobe to go shopping or a coat on a hot day or no coat on a cold day.

What's normal? Forgetting to bring along a sweater or a jacket on a chilly night.

6. Problems with abstract thinking. A person with Alzheimer's may not be able to recognize numbers or understand how to use them. This disability manifests itself in financial chaos. Checks do not get written, bills go unpaid, credit cards get maxed out, taxes are ignored.

I have a friend who became aware that something was wrong with her older sister when her sister called in a panic because she had received a notice that her house was going to be auctioned off for unpaid real estate taxed. The house was worth close to a million dollars. Her sister was a very wealthy woman. She had spent her career in financial management.

What's normal? Having trouble balancing a checkbook.

7. Misplacing things. A person with Alzheimer's may put things in bizarre places. For example, they might put laundry in the dishwasher, mail letters in the breadbox, plant their keys in a flower pot. Then they forget where they've put them and think they've been stolen.

What's normal? Misplacing eyeglasses or a purse or a wallet or not being able to find your car in a crowded parking lot. When you can't find your house keys, that's normal. When you can't find your house, that's Alzheimer's.

8. Changes in mood or behavior. People with Alzheimer's may exhibit rapid mood swings - from calm to tears to anger - for no apparent reason. For example, they can burst into tears in public.

What's normal? Occasional feelings of sadness or moodiness, but usually for a reason.

9. Changes in personality. The personality of people with Alzheimer's can change dramatically. A macho man may become a milquetoast. A reasonable, rational, soft-spoken woman may become a Calamity Jane, angry, paranoid, and subject to outbursts of temper.

What's normal? To become even more like yourself rather than less. Whatever traits you had in the past become more pronounced with age. If you were a stick-in-the-mud in your youth, you can become even more stuck in the mud as you age.

1). Loss of initiative. A person with Alzheimer's my become very passive, staring at the TV for hours and losing interest in activities they formerly pursued with enthusiasm.

What's normal? Becoming tired of the routines of work, household or social obligations.

11. Diminished or lost sense of smell. This seemingly unlikely connection often occurs as much as two years prior to the beginning of mental decline in people with Alzheimer's. The sensation of smell is carried by the olfactory nerve from the nose to the midbrain. The midbrain shows damage early in Alzheimer's, and this accounts for the loss of the sense of smell. The loss worsens as the disease progresses.

In a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in September 2000, scientists gave a "scratch and sniff" test to elderly people who were suffering from mild cognitive impairment, but not Alzheimer's. Of the 30 people who did best on the test, none went on to develop Alzheimer's disease. Of the 47 who did poorly, 19 went on to develop Alzheimer's.

A diminished sense of smell by itself should not be considered a definitive sign of Alzheimer's, since it can be caused by many other factors. But it can add one more helpful piece to the diagnostic puzzle.

What's normal? Diminished sharpness of all the senses. Nothing tastes as good as it did when you were a kid.

12. Sundowning. As the sun goes down, restlessness increases and sometimes continues through the night until morning with symptoms of increased confusion, anxiety, agitation, and disorientation. The person with Alzheimer's rambles through the house, turns on lights, decides to cook a meal or go for a walk. Sundowning seems to peak in the middle stages of Alzheimer's but lessons as the disease worsens. It is thought to occur because of the poor sleep quality in Alzheimer's disease.

What's normal? Normal adults awaken four or five times a night as they get older, but with Alzheimer's, awakenings may total 15 or 20 a night.

text: Mauricio Pinilla RSS feed en Genoa pin their hopes on Pinilla signing Genoa have secured the services of Chile international Mauricio Pinilla from Serie A rivals Cagliari. The 30-year-old was part of the national squad that reached the second round of the World Cup in Brazil, before being knocked out on penalties by the hosts. Pinilla was almost the hero for his side that day, crashing a shot off the crossbar in extra-time, before missing his spot-kick in the ensuing shootout. The forward was also involved in a bust-up with Brazil press officer Rodrigo Paiva during thematch, which saw the official banned for three matches. Pinilla joined Cagliari from Palermo - initially on loan - in 2012, and scored 22 goals in 63 league appearances during his time at Stadio Is Arenas. Genoa announced the news on their official website, while Pinilla took to his Twitter account to declare: "I'm officially a player of @GenoaCFC." news_article Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:49:00 +0000 Anonymous 226572 at Brazil media officer handed further ban FIFA have imposed a three-match ban on Brazils chief media oficer, Rodrigo Paiva, after his bust-up with Chile forward Mauricio Pinilla. The incident occurred during half-time of theFIFA World Cup second-round clash between Brazil and Chileon June 28,which the hosts won on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Pinilla claims he was punched by Paiva, who insists the fracas was nothing more than pushing and shoving. FIFA initially suspended Paiva for one match, meaning he was unable to fulfil his usual dutiesinBrazil's quarter-final victory over Colombia, while making it clear a stronger punishment could follow. And Paiva will now be forced to sit out the remainder of the tournament, after his suspension was extended to three games, including the Colombia fixture,by FIFA's disciplinary committee. Article 48 of FIFA's disciplinary code stipulates a ban of "at least two matches for assaulting (elbowing, punching, kicking etc) an opponent or a person other than a match official." Brazil face Germany on Tuesday with a place in the final, against Argentina or the Netherlands, at stake. news_article Sun, 06 Jul 2014 11:29:49 +0000 Anonymous 207552 at El World Cup Diario, Day 20: And then there were eight Ink! Gossip! Match-fixing (or not)!Nick Harper brings you up to date with all the news thats fit to, er, print off? Nick Harper The Big F**king German put it best. On the day the world's finest 16 teams were cut down to eight, Per Mertesacker pointed out a harsh truth when defending his nation's unconvincing win over Algeria. "Would you rather we played beautiful football but got knocked out?” railed the defender, live on German TV. “I don’t know what you want from me – do you think that just Mickey Mouse teams are involved in the last 16?" The answer to that is of course no. The Mickey Mouse Select XI didn't reach the last 16 – England went out at the group stage, arf, oink, etc, etc. Last night though, the last 16 became the last eight, as Argentina bored Switzerland into submission and Belgium beat the USA in the game of the tournament. Those results threw up an interesting statistic you can pass off as your own today, because for the first time since the introduction of the 32-team, eight-group World Cup, the top teams from all eight groups made it through to the final eight. That's Brazil, Holland, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Argentina and now Germany and Belgium. Never mind that at least half of those teams didn't deserve to go through, at this stage that doesn't matter. No. "All that matters," confirmed the BFG, "is we’re in the quarter-finals.” To get to the quarter-finals, we had to first pass through Day 20, a day which contained the usual mix of narcissistic prima donnas, alleged match-fixers, shadowy Spaniards and a man with a really, really sh*t tattoo. Just another day in Brazil, then. So let's put a little meat on the bones... Greek tragedy Outgoing Greece coach Fernando Santos accused some of his players of being more interested in their own personal success than in following his instructions. "We had two or three players more interested in being remembered as the man to score a historic goal for Greece," he told Radio Noticias. "It concerned them more to score than the correct circulation of the ball, leading to many mistakes and us losing possession.” Footballers Possibly Selfish Shocker?! Is this news? Fantastic cheat Jose Mourinho joined the Arjen Robben debate and called the Dutchman a filthy, swindling cheat, albeit using slightly different words. "My opinion on Robben? He was my player and I know better than many what a fantastic player he is,” Mourinho said of the time they spent together at Chelsea. "I also know that sometimes he tries to get an advantage and he tries to get a free-kick or he tries to get a penalty." Why the sly old dog! Again though, is this news? Mr Fix-It didn't fix it This most definitely is news though: the man at the centre of allegations of match-fixing of Cameroon's 4-0 defeat to Croatia today denied he did anything wrong at all. "At no time did I make reference to four goals being scored or to a red card being issued," said convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal. So that's that, then, case closed. No worries Proper Hot News here: Neymar is winning his race to be fit in time for Brazil's quarter-final with Colombia on Friday! It's not a real race you understand, just tabloidese for a man making good progress. "He will be evaluated again, but team doctor Jose Luiz Runco said fans don't have to worry," said a spokesman, "because he's not a concern for the match." Nigel de Jong is a bit of a concern for Holland's Costa Rica clash though, as he's been ruled out for the rest of the tournament with a groin injury so won't play again. Humble headcase In some fresh transfer/apology news: Barcelona's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta yesterday hailed disgraced World Cup striker Luis Suarez for being "humble" enough to say sorry for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup. "Suarez has shown he is humble enough to admit an error, which is very important," he said, despite it being none of his chuffing business. "Everyone knows that Luis is an excellent player, everyone knows last season he played in various positions in attack," he added, "but everyone also knows that he is a Liverpool player." Indeed we do and indeed he is, so why is he even talking about him? Pipe down, Señor. Idiot Inc. And in one last news drop for the day, Chile striker Mauricio Pinilla had a new tattoo added to his already ink-riddled torso yesterday: an image depicting his shot that clanked the woodwork against Brazil last Saturday, entitled 'One Centimetre From Glory'. An ode to his epic fail and the misery it brought an entire nation, permanently etched into his skin? Strange boy. Footnote Be aware that there is absolutely no football today, or tomorrow, or for the most part of Friday – until France face Germany at 5pm. Testing times indeed. Get back to work. feature Tue, 01 Jul 2014 23:10:00 +0000 Gary Parkinson 204763 at Brazil official suspended over Pinilla clash Brazils press officer, Rodrigo Paiva, has been suspended for one match by FIFA following a clash with Chiles Mauricio Pinilla.

Pinilla claims he was punched by Paiva, who insists the fracas was nothing more than pushing and shoving. On Monday, a FIFA spokeswoman confirmed that Paiva had been suspended for one game - Brazil's quarter-final with Colombia on Friday - and that the case continued to be considered by the disciplinary committee, who could hit Paiva with a longer ban. Pinilla took to his official Twitter account to vent his anger at both Paiva and the governing body.

He told the Lance newspaper: "There was pushing between the two sides. That always happens when everyone comes together. It was not an isolated incident and I did not punch anyone.

Monday's 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands in Sao Paulo, sealed by late goals from substitutes Leroy Fer and Memphis Depay,represented a disappointing end to a fine Group B campaign for the South Americans. Chile had already sealed their passage to the next phase, yet headed into the clash with Louis van Gaal's men knowing they could top the group. Failure to do so means Jorge Sampaoli's men look set to meet the host nation next up, not that striker Pinilla is worried. "We have enough weapons to take on any opponent," he said. "Now we have a very important game (in the next round) and we cannot fail." A frustrated Sampaoli claimed the Netherlands -without star striker Robin van Persie and only requiring a draw -were intent only on defending. He said: "We could not find a solution to a team that only defended and only aspired to have long strikes, not even counter-attacks."

Realistically, Friday's meeting is a must-win encounter for both sides and Pinilla says all their focus is currently onAnge Postecoglou's men. The Cagliari striker maintains Australia can cause a threat in the group but says they have not entertained the possibility of defeat. "Australia are a team who are much improved. We'll play against them like they are our strongest rival," he said on Tuesday. "Today we only talk about Australia. Then you will see what comes along. We do not think about losing to Australia. "All we are looking for is to improve day by day and work out the details for Friday's game. "Chile have gained respect for the work that we have done in recent years.

Hummer H1 Off Road - Hummers Off-Road! - Notes From The Dirt

Posted in Features on January 1, 2005 Comment (0)
Share this

In this issue, we spotlight the Hummer H1 - still one of the finest off-road vehicles on the planet. Environmentalists have singled out the Hummer (along with trucks and SUVs) and have tried to paint owners as supporters of terrorism. While we know that such labeling is absurd, even the general public is starting to take notice of the environmentalists' double standard. The following excerpt from the New Republic was written by Glen Easterbrook.

"In the new Atlantic Monthly, Eric Alterman notes that Laurie David, wife of Larry David and among Hollywood's wealthy elite owing to Seinfeld royalties, has become an influential environmental crusader, but herself travels in chartered Gulfstream jets. Laurie David has organized numerous celebrity save-the-environment events and 'reviles the owners of SUVs as terrorist enablers, yet gives herself a pass when it comes to chartering one of the most wasteful uses of fossil-based fuels imaginable,' a private jet, Alterman writes. I did a few quick calculations. The midsize Gulfstream G200 model can carry about 2,100 gallons of jet fuel, which is made from petroleum, and would burn around 1,200 to 1,500 gallons flying from New York to Los Angeles, depending on wind speed and how many passengers were aboard. A Hummer driven 15,000 miles, the average put on a car per year, would burn around 1,250 gallons of fuel. So, for Laurie David to take one cross-country flight in a Gulfstream is the same, in terms of Persian Gulf dependence and greenhouse-gas emissions, as if she drovea Hummer for an entire year. But then, conservation is what other people should do."

Good work, Glen! It's time that people started calling attention to the fact that the green community thinks nothing is OK for the unwashed masses, while they can indulge in any and all forms of entertainment, transportation, and living modes. Take ski resorts, for example. While we have nothing against skiing here at Off-Road, we do hold it against green-leaning ski resort owners who fight every form of logging on the planet, yet clear-cut most of their mountains for ski runs. Ms. David, mentioned above, obviously feels the same way; it's OK for her to use more fossil fuels in one flight than an average American can use in more than a year because she's an enlightened environmentalist. What nonsense.

We guided the Hummer Club on a trail ride down the Bradshaw Trail, a beautiful (if you like the desert) trip back into history. It's scenic, historic, and a lot of fun, whether you're driving a Hummer, 4x4 pickup, or 2WD prerunner. Read about it in the following pages. This is the first of many trail features to come for those of you who trail-ride with your trucks.

Thanks for reading.

Chevy M1008 - Project Reject

Posted in Project Vehicles on December 1, 2007 Comment (0)
Share this
This should've been a picture of the M1008 victoriously climbing a hill, or something to that effect. Instead, here it sits pouting in a corner, not even running. That's after giving it new front tires, a new radiator, and glass in the doors, plus installing the dump-bed conversion. But we'll teach it a lesson-it can sit for another several weeks. Until it shapes up, or we decide to fix it anyway.

It was a mixed blessing that the 6.2L diesel finally fired and sort of ran. All of a sudden, the leisurely tinkering and the giant carrot were gone, replaced with a laundry list of items that needed attention, some more desperately than others.

Equally double-edged was the fact that some much-needed winter rains were about to hit the way-too-dry and sunny SoCal. Suddenly finding glass for the side windows became a higher priority than figuring out what caused the grinding noise that seemed to emit from the bellhousing during deceleration. Likewise, the solar panel that serves as a charging system wouldn't be quite as effective.

But what really bummed us out was that despite all the loving, tender care we'd given this ex-junkyard pickup, it wouldn't start after sitting for a few days. Not even with the auxiliary fuel pump running and after heating the intake manifold with a hair dyer. And, yes, with fully charged batteries.

Perhaps the starting issues were because of having used up a fair amount of the year's allotted luck by finding a rebuilt radiator in a dark corner of the Diesel-Tune shop. Since it wasn't supposed to be there, and it took up space, Mike Calandra gave it to us.

Damn, it's nice to have friends. As you might have noticed, this M1008 has basically been built with friendship favors, or it would've still been the same semi-useless junkyard wreck that Dennis Franklin brought us. Thank you all for the help.

We swapped out the borrowed (but not dimensionally or otherwise correct) radiator from JET Sales and even got a brand-new radiator cap as a crowning touch, replacing a rag which had served to keep the dirt out.

Speaking of friends, Craig Calkins at CRC Performance Transmissions shares our liking for the simple and dependable GM products of the '73-'87 body style and has squirreled away parts and pieces for years, including a set of door window glass. Luckily for us, he'd come across an even better pair and donated the glass for the cause. It was a quick and simple installation, if you don't count all the time vacuuming up the old broken glass. Standing back to admire the now fully enclosed cab, we realized that it now sported a clear windshield and rear window, but with green tinted side glass, which is probably an unusual combination.

PhotosView Slideshow

We'd figured that installing the Pierce Sales dump-bed conversion (July '07) would happen after the most pressing mechanical malfunctions were taken care of, but real life dictated otherwise. Having towed the M1008 to a better location for more serious work-OK, to install window glass-we noticed that fuel was spilling out from somewhere above the tank. Fuel out means air in, and everything pointed to the stubborn starting was due to air in the fuel system. Just drop the tank and ... no, far easier, let's take the bed off. It would have to come off anyway to install the Pierce kit, and removing it would allow perfect access to the fuel lines.

The downside to installing the dump bed at this stage? Well, without a functioning charging system, the electric-over-hydraulic dump bed would only be so useful for so long. To fix the charging, we really should convert the cryptic dual-alternator 24-volt system to 12 volts, except that we still didn't have a 12-volt starter motor. Oh, well, we'd only have to service the tractor to be able to remove the bed, which would then need a fair amount of straightening work before being reinstalled so the dirt doesn't fall out through the cracks.

And then it started raining, in the driest season on record. No big deal to you guys in Oregon, maybe, but we're just not used to it here in SoCal. Wet tools, yuck.

A rebuilt radiator was installed and an upper hose constructed from leftover parts of upper and lower hoses, with some copper tubing in between. Another bottle of JB Radiator Stop Rust in the system will hopefully prevent the Titanic-looking innards of the cooling system from spreading to the new radiator. It leaks a bit at the hose junction, but that's probably because we finally bought a radiator cap.

With the bed off for the Pierce Sales kit and planning ahead a bit, we installed a Valley receiver to enable towing again. The pintle hook went away with the M1008 bumper due to the dump-bed kit, and since we didn't quite trust having the bumper (and pintle) held on by only the two pivot bolts for the dump bed, we left it off. Now the pickup could tow again, if it only would run right.

Once the weather improved, we tightened all the fuel-line clamps, but never really found anything suspect. With warmer temperatures, the 6.2 would indeed start, usually, although now it was leaking fuel from the vicinity of the injector pump when cold, which would then stop once the motor warmed up a bit. No biggie, we thought.

With a functional dump bed and all the windows in place, we'd even installed the seat. Well, we'd put it in place, anyway-we'll find bolts for it one of these days-and covered it with a filthy Indian blanket once used in our '76 Crew Cab. By now we were getting good at using just the right amount of starting fluid (if needed) and would drive the pickup almost daily, playing with the dump bed and enjoying driving the thing in general.

As a reward, we even gave it an air-cleaner gasket to keep the bigger stuff out of the intake tract.

All around, a good deal. By putting the free window glass in the doors, we could finally put the seat in the cab. Getting rid of all the broken glass that kept dribbling out from the bottom of the doors was another welcome benefit of removing the inside door trim. It also allowed us to push out a big old honking dent. Well, it was actually necessary to make the glass fit.

After comparing notes and getting advice from Diesel-Tune, we ordered new glow plugs from Rush, because they seemed to be the main issue with getting the diesel started, but mild temperatures allowed doing without for now. Even the grinding noise had virtually disappeared as something must've worn in. Or out.

Oddly enough, the sound from the bungeed-on glasspack mufflers wasn't noticeable, either. Things were working suspiciously well, and sure enough, when downhill and away from the homestead, the motor stopped running above idle. It'd get home in First gear low-range, we figured, but instead the vindictive 6.2 slowly quit running altogether. A neighbor towed us back home on a strap, which was almost as embarrassing as getting passed on the right on a multilane road. Now the new glow plugs didn't seem so important anymore. Neither did the "new" 12-volt starter we scored while visiting Dennis Franklin a week before.

So much for getting this obstinate machine to run well on time. We checked all the potentially suspect items according to the manual, then did what any self-respecting and mechanically inclined four-wheel-drive owner would do in a situation like this. We parked the pickup in a remote corner of the driveway, rolled up the windows, and put a piece of cardboard over the gauge cluster to keep the sun from baking the instruments from the backside. It's been sitting there since, in shame.

Petrobras to cut costs by up to $7.5 billion in '13: source

Published October 19, 2012

| Reuters

Brazil state-led oil company Petrobras plans to cut between 5 billion reais and 15 billion reais ($2.5 billion and $7.5 billion) from its operational costs next year, sources with direct knowledge of the plans said on Friday.

The cuts are part of Petrobras' "Procop" cost-optimization program that will start in January and were announced in an internal company presentation on Thursday by Chief Executive Maria das Gra��as Foster, the sources said.

Petrobras has not published an official estimate of the value of the expected savings.

The plan is aimed at helping Foster find ways to revive stagnant production and boost cash flow to pay for a $237 billion, five-year expansion, one of the world's largest corporate investment programs.

Despite high spending levels and the discovery of some of the world's largest offshore oil fields in the past five years, Petrobras has missed all its annual production targets for a decade, and August oil and natural gas output fell to a 22-month low.

For the second quarter, Petrobras posted a 1.35 billion real loss, its first in 13 years.

Procop is focused on areas that accounted for 63 billion reais ($31 billion) of spending in 2011, the "manageable portion" of the company's 199 billion reais of outlays registered in Petrobras' 2011 accounts as cost of goods sold and operational expenses, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement said the company had identified 28 areas where costs and "optimizations" could be made, but did not say how much it planned to save with its program.

How to Account for Business Loss

Dear Tax Talk,
My wife is a day care provider. One of her clients did not pay her. Is there anywhere on the tax form to deduct this as a loss?

Thank you.
-- Paul

Dear Paul,
Most small business service providers use the cash-basis method of accounting for reporting income and expenses. Under the cash-basis method, you don't report income that is not collected, or alternatively, you report your income in the year collected. If you don't collect a fee, you don't pay tax on it. Once you collect something and report it as income, you have a tax basis in it; if it gets spent, lost, destroyed or misappropriated, you can claim a deduction or loss for it.

Because your wife's business most likely is cash-basis for tax reporting purposes, she cannot realize a loss for an uncollected account. She has no basis in it. If your wife incurred expenses in caring for the child, those expenses would be deducted without regard as to whether she was paid by the parent. For example, if your wife provided lunch to the child, the cost of that lunch would have already been treated as an expense when provided to the child. There is nowhere on the form to report the unpaid services as there is no loss.

Using Credit Cards Effectively While Traveling

Published November 12, 2012

As the holidays approach, many people hit the road for vacations. Whether you are planning a cross-country road trip or are flying to foreign lands, using a credit card can make paying for your travel expenses a lot easier than if you used cash. But if the possibility of going over budget has you cringing, remember the benefits of using a credit card for travel and put a spending strategy in place before you leave.

Hotel and Airfare Reservations

Benefit - Reservations are easier with credit cards: Generally speaking, when you make a reservation for a hotel or plane ticket, you are asked to provide a credit card number. Even if you plan to pay cash when you arrive at a hotel, a credit card is usually required to hold your room. Once you arrive at your destination, however, you can pay with cash (although you may be asked to pay the full amount when you sign in). You can also pay for plane tickets with cash at the airport, but you may be subjected to additional security checks.

Strategy - Use a travel agent: A travel agent can book all your reservations for you so that you can pay (credit or cash) for the bulk of your trip at once, ensuring you stay within your budget.

Credit Card Use Abroad

Benefit - Currency conversion is easier with credit cards: Eliminating the problem of converting cash into foreign currencies is another reason credit cards can be very useful when traveling abroad. But there are fees associated with this service, so it is important to find out what type of currency conversion or transaction fees are involved with your credit card. Make sure your credit card is accepted at a variety of businesses in the country you plan to visit.

Strategy - Use a credit card specifically designed for foreign travel: That way you can avoid many of the currency conversion and transaction fees that banks naturally assess.

Cash and Crime

Benefit - Protection against theft: It's awful to be on vacation and realize that your wallet has been stolen. But if you are mainly using cash for your trip, there is virtually no way to recover those funds. Considering that travelers are often easy targets for crime, credit cards are a valuable tool to protect your vacation plans.

Strategy - Take photocopies of your identification and credit cards: Give your trip itinerary and the photocopies of any credit cards you plan to carry to a trusted family member or friend at home in case your wallet is stolen.

Prepaid Credit Cards

Benefit - Sticking to a vacation budget is easier with a prepaid card: It is important not to spend more than you can realistically pay off when the bills come. However, if you are already paying on credit card debt and are not willing or are unable to use credit cards for travel, purchasing a prepaid credit card may be an option that allows you to enjoy the protections of a credit card without taking on additional debt.

Strategy - Shop for a prepaid credit card well in advance: Using a prepaid credit card can also be a great alternative to carrying cash because your credit report is not required since you are actually depositing money into an account. Your credit card use is limited only by what is available in the account. But make sure you understand all the credit card terms, including the types of fees involved.

There are a lot of reasons to use a credit card on vacation, but keep in mind that it always makes sense to carry a certain amount of cash for expenses such as tips, taxi rides, or meals in places that don't accept credit cards.

Will 'Two And A Half Men' Tank With Ashton Kutcher?

charlie sheen smirk 640

Charlie Sheen. (Reuters)

CBS and Warner Bros. Television announced on Friday that Ashton Kutcher signed on the dotted line to replace Charlie Sheen's hedonistic jingle writer Charlie Harper on the hit sitcom "Two And A Half Men." But does the former “That 70’s Show” star really have what it takes to make the series as successful as Sheen did?

"Ashton was a wise casting choice, they managed to keep a still-successful and major money-making show alive by casting a well-known talent who knows his way around a sitcom stage," TV Guide's LA Bureau Chief, Michael Schneider, told FOX411's Pop Tarts column.

But according to entertainment reporter and pop culture expert Scott Huver, the 33-year-old probably doesn't have the prowess to ensure CBS sitcom will continue to be a ratings success.

"I don't think the addition of Kutcher guarantees any longevity for the series – people will check out his first few episodes and see if it clicks for them from there," Huver said.

On the note of longevity, how much longer are the experts anticipating "Two And A Half Men" will even stay afloat?

"It's reasonable to expect maybe two more seasons, which is what Sheen's replacement of Michael J. Fox earned 'Spin City.' It's rare that such a pivotal cast change results in a very significantly extended run," Huver explained. "Such cast shifts are usually awkward and uncomfortable, both for the shows themselves and especially for long-time viewers."

More on this...

Others were also pessimistic.

"Honestly, I don't think 'Men' has much time left. A major casting change like this can only signal the beginning of the end," said Tim Hayne of the television blog, while Schneider added that the sitcom "is already very late into its run, and generally shows like this don't last much longer than it already has."

There's also the question of whether Kutcher, who leads a seemingly blissfully married life with Demi Moore, will simply have the same “sheen” as Sheen. After all, there’s no doubt the reel Charlie and the real Charlie had an uncanny likeness when it came to women and wild ways.

“Charlie brought a lot of comedy to the show playing off his ‘bad boy’ reputation – and the thought of what potential replacement Hugh Grant (who was reportedly also in negotiations) might have done with his own reputation is really intriguing,” Huver added. “While Kutcher is more well-behaved, he does have certain aspects of his persona that could be mined for laughs – like creating an older-woman-chasing character for him.”

And according to television writer/acting coach Mirren Lee, the onus is on the producers and marketing team.

“Having some naughty boy PR would help – maybe seed some stories about problems with Demi,” she said. “And if she made a guest star role in the beginning, that would really work. And they could have story lines with Ashton competing with the kid's girlfriends now that he's growing up, for instance.”

Nonetheless, Sheen has wasted no time adding his opinion that his ex-sitcom will tank without his “winning” presence.

"Enjoy the show America.  Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB,” he told TMZ.

Let the games begin!

Five things to know from Buccaneers-Dolphins following Tampa Bay's 17-16 win

The Miami Dolphins' first-team offense started strong and finished fast.

The in-between needed work.

Miami mounted a 17-play, 8½-minute scoring drive to start the game, and executed its two-minute offense well to score a touchdown with 10 seconds left in the first half. Those were their highlights Saturday in a 17-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

Miami totaled 15 first downs and 180 yards in the opening half against the Buccaneers' first-team defense. The score could have been lopsided, but the Dolphins needed 17 snaps in the red zone before they reached the end zone, and Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson dropped potential touchdown passes.

With one exhibition game to go, here are five things we learned from the Buccaneers (1-2) and Dolphins (1-3):

1. MIAMI'S OFFENSE REMAINS INCONSISTENT DESPITE SIGNS OF PROGRESS: Second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill went 17 for 27 for 150 yards and a one touchdown, a 4-yard throw to Gibson threaded between two defenders. That was one of 13 passes Tannehill completed to his wideouts, the team's most improved unit this season, and Miami frequently lined up with three wide receivers.

Gibson caught five passes but dropped two. Hartline caught four passes, Mike Wallace three and Marvin McNutt one.

The Dolphins sputtered in the red zone in part because blocking remains shaky at times. The first team netted 38 yards in 15 rushing plays, and Tannehill was knocked to the ground at least four times, including once on a sack by Trevor Scott.

Tannehill threw several times into tight coverage, and Michael Adams dropped a potential interception.

"I can't tell you the rhythm offensively was great," coach Joe Philbin said. "It didn't feel that way to me. It's got to get better."

2. JOSH FREEMAN HAS YET TO LOOK LIKE A QUARTERBACK COMING OFF A 4,000-YARD SEASON: After playing a total of 21 snaps in the first two games, Freeman went 2½ quarters, but struggled to get the Bucs going. He went 6 for 16 for 59 yards, took five sacks and had a passer rating of 48.7. He also lost a fumble at midfield with 1:29 left in the first half and led to Miami's lone touchdown.

"The whole operation was out of sync, and he is part of the operation," coach Greg Schiano said.

Mike Williams was targeted seven times but caught only two passes. The ground game sputtered, too, although Brian Leonard ran for 38 yards and a score in 10 carries.

3. DAVE WANNSTEDT ENJOYED SUCCESS AGAINST HIS EX-TEAM: Miami's former head coach is in his first year as Tampa Bay's special teams coach, and his punt coverage unit recovered two fumbles to set up 10 points.

Backup linebacker Adam Hayward made both recoveries. One turnover came after the kick hit blocker Nolan Carroll, and returner Marcus Thigpen lost a fumble. Thigpen later had a 38-yard return.

4. BOTH TEAMS ARE STRONGER UP FRONT ON DEFENSE THAN ON OFFENSE: Neither side managed 100 yards rushing or more than 3.5 yards per carry, and quarterbacks on both teams were harried all night.

Lamar Miller enjoyed an edge over Daniel Thomas in their competition for the job as Miami's No. 1 running back. Miller had eight carries for 35 yards, including a 20-yard run on his first carry against the Bucs' stout run defense. Thomas carried seven times for 3 yards.

Two-time Pro Bowl guard Davin Joseph, who missed Tampa Bay's entire 2012 season because of a right knee injury, played for the first time this preseason, but couldn't give the ground game much of a boost.

The Dolphins totaled six sacks, while Bucs newcomer Scott had three sacks.

"It's a good beginning for him," Schiano said. "We signed him for that reason. We believe that's what he could be. I like his demeanor and I like the way he carries himself, so hopefully that will continue."

5. THE BUCS REMAIN FAR FROM HEALTHY: Cornerback Darrelle Revis, who began practicing with the Bucs' first defensive unit this week, sat out his third exhibition game in a row as he comes back from knee surgery. Left guard Carl Nicks (infected left big toe) and running back Doug Martin (head) were also sidelined.

Veteran Rian Lindell, signed this week by the Bucs because Lawrence Tynes has a toe infection, kicked a 38-yard field goal.

Nader defends Israel 'puppeteer' comments

By Janine Zacharia

WASHINGTON -- Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader (below) stood by his characterization of the White House and Congress as "puppets" of the Israeli government, in a letter sent to Anti-Defamation League national director Abraham Foxman this week.

Ralph NaderIn early July, after Nader made the "puppet" comment, Foxman and Barbara Balser, ADL's national chairman, wrote to Nader, saying, "the image of the Jewish State as a 'puppeteer,' controlling the powerful US Congress feeds into many age-old stereotypes which have no place in legitimate public discourse."

In a three-page letter dated August 5, Nader responded to Foxman by noting, "The Israelis have a joke for the obvious -- that the United States is the second state of Israel." "How often, if ever, has the United States -- either the Congress of the White House -- pursued a course of action, since 1956, that contradicted the Israeli government's position?"

Nader lamented what he described as the lack of freedom in the US to debate and discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and he attacked the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobby, for its influence on Capitol Hill.

Abraham Foxman, incorruptible and beloved long-term chief of The Anti Defamation League (annual pay: $750,000) whose strategies have led to a global decrease in anti-Semitism. Not.

"Citizen groups are in awe of AIPAC's ditto machine on Capitol Hill as are many members of Congress who, against their private judgment, resign themselves to sign on the dotted line," he wrote.

Attached to Nader's letter were copies of an article that appeared in the Nation magazine about pro-peace movements in the US, and a letter signed by hundreds of IDF reservists who refuse to serve in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Foxman (right) said Nader was continuing to spread a "canard" about the Jews. "He fuels the conspiracy theory that the Jews control the White House and the Congress. And it's a lot more sinister after Iraq," Foxman said, adding that Nader's comments "border on anti-Semtism."

Signs from a silent killer

Simple evaluation of symptoms may be first screening test for ovarian cancer

Jan. 2, 2007
Dr. Barbara Goff

Dr. Barbara Goff Clinical Research Division

A symptom survey may provide clinicians with a rapid, cost-effective screening tool to detect early stages of ovarian cancer, according to a new study led by Dr. Barbara Goff of the Clinical Research Division, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and University of Washington School of Medicine. The study, which appears in the Jan. 15 print edition of Cancer, reveals that early ovarian cancer may be distinguished by a specific set of symptoms and their frequency and duration.

Physicians generally consider ovarian cancer to be a "silent killer," that is, it develops asymptomatically or with symptoms easily attributable to benign causes until diagnosed late and well after a cure is likely. There has been no effective screening test to detect early stage disease in the general population or even high-risk groups. Consequently, no medical association or public health agency recommends routine screening.

Now, evidence by Goff and colleagues suggests that early stage symptoms may be recognizable and could be used to develop a symptom index for early disease. The researchers compared the clinical history of women at high risk for developing ovarian cancer and women already diagnosed with ovarian cancer to develop a basic symptom index to screen for ovarian cancer.

They found "that a relatively simple evaluation of symptoms of recent onset and significant frequency" was sufficient to be a potential screening tool. The screening symptoms include:

  • any complaint of pelvic/abdominal pain,
  • increased abdominal size/bloating, or
  • difficulty eating/feeling full that is present more than 12 days per month and for less than one year.

This screening was 57 percent sensitive for early disease and 80 percent sensitive for advanced cancer; it was 90 percent specific for women over 50 years of age and 86.7 percent for women under 50 years of age.

Goff now plans to evaluate a simple three-question screening in a multiyear study in general clinical practice. Center co-authors include Drs. Nicole Urban and Robyn Anderson of the Public Health Sciences Division.

I am been drawn to this thread, and have gone through the first 226 pages (daunting task lol).

So I have not really owned an AF enabled lens in years, so this thread is GREAT! I had the 85mm 1.8G for a few weeks, but sold it to pick up a Samyang 14mm 2.8.

My question is what to get next. I have seen the amazing shots with both the 75-150 and the 80-200 f/4.5 - and both are pretty cheap. The 25-50 is out of control $$$ - probably thanks to this thread

Is there another lens in the 20-70mm range that is as good as the 25-50? I still have 2000 pages to go through, lol.
Oh and I shoot with a D700

There are a number of good quality zoom lenses that cover a portion of that range, though none cover it all. The least expensive would likely be either the 28-45 f/4.5 AI, or the 35-70 f/3.5 AI. From what I see the 28-50 f/3.5 and 35-70 f/3.5 AI-s will cost a tad more, but certainly not as much as the 25-50 f/4. A number of us enjoy the 50-135 f/3.5 AI-s which is also very reasonably priced, though likely not as cheap as the Series E lens, the 75-150. The 80-200 f/4.5 AI is a true steal both in terms of price and quality.

Another low cost gem is the 50 f/1.8 AI or AI-s. If I recall correctly, 8 of the lenses I've bought over the years cost less than $100. This is definitely an adventure that can be done on a budget. Happy reading and happy shopping. And don't forget to share some photos with us...

Letter 23
Evelina In Continuation Queen Ann Street, Tuesday, April 19
THERE is something to me half melancholy in writing an account of our last
adventures in London. However, as this day is merely appropriated to packing
and preparations for our journey, and as I shall shortly have no more adventures
to write, I think I may as well complete my town journal at once: and, when you
have it all together, I hope, my dear Sir, you will send me your observations and
thoughts upon it to Howard Grove.
About eight o'clock we went to the Pantheon. I was extremely struck with the
beauty of the building, which greatly surpassed whatever I could have expected
or imagined. Yet it has more the appearance of a chapel than of a place of
diversion; and, though I was quite charmed with the magnificence of the room, I
felt that I could not be as gay and thoughtless there as at Ranelagh; for there is
something in it which rather inspires awe and solemnity, than mirth and pleasure.
However, perhaps it may only have this effect upon such a novice as myself.
I should have said, that our party consisted only of Captain, Mrs. and Miss
Mirvan, as Madame Duval spent the day in the city;-which I own I could not
There was a great deal of company; but the first person we saw was Sir Clement
Willoughby. He addressed us with his usual ease, and joined us for the whole
evening. I felt myself very uneasy in his presence; for I could not look at him, nor
hear him speak, without recollecting the chariot adventure; but, to my great
amazement, I observed that he looked at me without the least apparent
discomposure, though, certainly, he ought not to think of his behaviour without
blushing. I really wish I had not forgiven him, and then he could not have
ventured to speak to me any more.
There was an exceeding good concert, but too much talking to hear it well.
Indeed I am quite astonished to find how little music is attended to in silence; for,
though every body seems to admire, hardly any body listens.
We did not see Lord Orville till we went into the tea-room, which is large, low, and
under ground, and serves merely as a foil to the apartments above; he then sat
next to us. He seemed to belong to a large party, chiefly of ladies; but, among the
gentlemen attending them, I perceived Mr. Lovel.
I was extremely irresolute whether or not I ought to make any acknowledgments
to Lord Orville for his generous conduct in securing me from the future
impertinence of that man; and I thought, that, as he had seemed to allow Mrs.
Mirvan to acquaint me, though no one else, of the measures which he had taken,
he might perhaps suppose me ungrateful if silent: however, I might have spared
myself the trouble of deliberating, as I never once had the shadow of an
opportunity of speaking unheard by Sir Clement. On the contrary, he was so
exceedingly officious and forward, that I could not say a word to any body but
instantly he bent his head forward, with an air of profound attention, as if I had
addressed myself wholly to him; and yet I never once looked at him, and would
not have spoken to him on any account.

60 seconds of a Grandfather Clock. I needed a clean sample of a Grandfather clock. I downloaded filtered out some of the low frequency rumble, sliced out some of the individual sounds, then put these into FL Studio as a sequence at 60 bpm. The result is a Hi-Fi crystal-locked version of the original recording by daveincamas. I particularly like some of the extra sounds from the mechanism. Thanks for the original sample Dave! :)
