Just throwing this out there. I have noticed a lot of guys are going for the higher compression builds ..... I'm curious as to the real advantages to this over just turning the boost up?
I have noticed a lot of guys are going for the higher compression builds ..... I'm curious as to the real advantages to this over just turning the boost up?
What are those replying considering high compression? What is low? I've heard of 7.8:1 compression rebuilds and ive seen a TR class car with 10:1 that spooled an old cast 76 like it was 15mm smaller. I wont ever go less that 9:1 on builds.
Im at 10.25:1. I built the engine for 9.5 with a .060 gasket to allow the use of different heads. I ended up going with a .027.
high compression improves volumetric efficiency and reduces the amount of residual gas leftover in the chamber after the exhaust stroke.
Higher compression equals greater efficiency which,among other things,equals better mileage,smoother idle,and better throttle response. The turbo will spool faster and more torque will be produced,especially at the lower rpm range. These qualities of higher compression are especially beneficial to the street car enthusiast who despises good traction.
In my case,I went from 7.88 to 9.29. I was initially shooting for 9.0 and chose piston specs based on the 46 cc advertised combustion chamber volume of the TA SI cylinder heads. They ended up being 48.8 cc and,after I un shrouded the intake valves because I could because of my 4" bore,the combustion chamber volume ended up at 50.2 cc. I ended up using a .027" head gasket instead of the .060" gasket that I initially wanted to use,which produce better port alignment. This got me to 9.29 to 1 compression ratio.
As foolish as I am and because of the benefits I've received from the increased compression ratio,I wouldn't be surprised if I order some new pistons to get the compression ratio up to 10 to 1. I do also use E85.
It's also a great way to patch up an engine that's a dog from too much cam.
There's literally almost no downside to high(er) compression.
High 7's and low 10's was the CR range I was thinking of when asking for opinions on the subject. My current build will probably be in the 8.0 range due to changes made in the chamber shape and a block modification. The changes were made in an attempt to go in a slightly different direction than the typical build.
Have heard that the quicker spool is a nice bonus of the higher compression motors and some of the other positives that you guys are posting are definitely reasons to consider higher compression.
Since my motor is going to be on the lower CR side.... hopefully running a lot of boost in conjunction with the extensive port work that I've done to the heads will make up for any short comings of the lower CR.
There's no such thing as "will make up for". Once you lost ground going to lower compression there is nothing you can do to get it back. More boost means more back pressure and will hit a wall with VE sooner than a higher compression engine would.
I understand that one combo may be more efficient than another. It may take 35 PSI for my motor to make 750 HP where as another higher compression motor may make the same HP at a much lower boost level.
Isn't Richie Balcom's engine compression like 8:5:1?
You shouldn't be using only manifold pressure as your reference point for how efficient an engine is. I will say that engines that make the power at lower manifold pressures with no other changes will typically go noticeably faster because the turbo has less work to do to move the air. You may go backward in power trying to make 35psi. Exhaust pressure in the 80's and cylinder fill in the crapper. When the exhaust pressure vs manifold pressure starts getting ugly the power (VE) falls off a cliff. So to get that engine more efficient only mechanical aspects of it can improve it. You're al out of manifold pressures positive effect to fill the cylinder. So raise the CR, reduce valve overlap, taller gearing, converter very specific, or leave everything the way it was and go with more turbo, specifically the hot side since it seems to be the biggest bottleneck on most engines. If I were to go all in on the turbo I have little doubt that on the 9.45:1 engine it would make much more than my 8.3:1 and it would run the turbo out at lower manifold pressures.
Here's a 9.45:1 Iron head engine. Looks like about 1 sec to 15psi. Half throttle foot brake MFS 6766 .85 a/r. His engine makes the same power as the 8.3:1 aluminum headed (higher flowing potential for sure) stock short block engine in the blue car at approximately about 7 psi less manifold pressure. Same turbo on both engines. Cam overlap within 2 degrees of each other at .050". It's not just a little gain in efficiency. It's huge in this example.
Here's a couple quick hits from above mentioned engines. Both of these hits are peak of approximately 640whp give or take a few and mine falls off at 5800. His was still cranking it out to 6000-6100 where I stopped the highest rpm hits. They are both same port injected 93/alky with SSI 3.5 bar MAP sensors, same turbo, his is iron heads, mine has ported aluminum similar converters (his 16 blade 9.5" and mine 17 blade 9.5"), very similar cams, etc. Notice his manifold pressure is 6+psi less than mine even though I have better heads, and honestly a lot more refinement in the tune on mine since I've had it for several years. His at the point of this log had only had about 25 seconds of WOT time on it at the end of this hit and I was adding manifold pressure every hit. As you can see the VE % is a little higher on mine but I was also targeting a richer a/f's and they play into the displayed VE a little and 6-7psi higher manifold pressure because of the alky injection. His engine is also much better with bsfc. Meaning it takes less fuel to make the same hp. The turbo wasn't close to all in on either. Imagine both tuned on good fuel and his engine at 33+psi manifold pressure? It would be 720+whp still on conservative timing and a/f numbers. I was a lot closer to all in than he was and he still has the same power as I do. The effects of raising the CR are drastic in this example. Of course the tuning window is more narrow but 9:1 isn't outrageous at all even with 93/alky. Dont fear the boost, don't fear the CR, watch out for the timing!
Excellent work and education, Bison!!! Really gives you insight on how combos really work with real world results, not just text book bs. Love it!!!!
It may take 35 PSI for my motor to make 750 HP where as another higher compression motor may make the same HP at a much lower boost level.
that's if you can make that kind of boost.on a good motor it can be real hard to make big boost the turbo has to have enough nut.
Work (Trq) is achieved through pressure (force) and leverage (stroke). The key is to control pressures and associated heat energy of combustion.
HP is a calculated number of RPM and Trq. Great thread.
There is another GREAT thread somewhere about 8 years old now called "boost vs back pressure". Should be a sticky imo.

If you've been driving your vehicle for a while, you know how braking is supposed to feel. One of the first signs that there is a brake fluid problem is a soft, squishy feeling in the braking mechanism itself. As you depress your pedal, you'll feel that it's a little less resistant, and slow to return to its original position. This is a problem that is easy to ignore because it usually doesn't cause any functional problems in the braking. It's still important, because it can ultimately affect how well your brake pedal works.
When you turn left or right, does your car pull, lurch, or jerk in a certain direction? It's easy to assume that this problem originates with the tires or alignment -- and it can -- but it can also be an issue with the brakes on either side of the vehicle. The only way to get this checked is to check the brake pads themselves, located behind the tires.
Strange sounds can be ignored because they are, after all, just sounds. They could also not be easily heard from inside of your vehicle. If you do hear sounds though, they're probably indicative of an issue inside of your brake pad or braking mechanism.
If your braking is slow or occasionally fails, there's obviously a problem with your brake system. The issue is that many drivers find that these problems are "minor" or occur very rarely -- so they may feel comfortable continuing to drive their vehicle. This is dangerous; brake problems will invariably get worse, and they make do so very suddenly. A part that was damaged can fail, ending your vehicle careening into an intersection. Remember: minor problems do become bigger problems, it's only a matter of time.
The good news is that many brake problems are fairly simple to fix. At AA Auto Tech, we offer comprehensive auto repair services, including our full service brakes shop. If you're having problems with your vehicle -- or if you just have general questions -- contact us today.

Hope for People With SMA
Genetic Diseases
Understanding Your Child's Life With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Surrounding yourself with a team of doctors and specialists can give your child the best opportunities possible.
By Jessica MigalaMedically Reviewed by Samuel Mackenzie, MD, PhD
Reviewed: February 12, 2020
Spinal muscular atrophy can prevent children from walking on their own, but there's a lot to be hopeful about for the future.iStock
If your child has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), you know that their life may not be as you imagined it. This genetic neurological disease affects the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, which leads to muscle weakness that can compromise a person's ability to sit, stand, and walk on their own, according to CURE SMA.
SMA can also affect the respiratory muscles and those used for swallowing, making it difficult to breathe or eat without assistance like ventilators and feeding tubes. Here's what you need to know about moving forward after diagnosis.
1. Your child's weakness can worsen. The earlier SMA is diagnosed, the more severe the symptoms. Type 0, which is diagnosed during pregnancy, and type 1, which is diagnosed at birth or before 6 months, are the most severe forms of the disease, says the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
If you have a child with type 3 SMA, which is diagnosed after 18 months, you may have additional questions, especially because your child has likely already learned to walk and maybe even mastered it.
"What you hear from parents is that the child was doing great, then they started having trouble climbing stairs and showing weakness by dragging their toes when they walk," says Tim Feyma, MD, director of the neurology department at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul, Minnesota. For those with type 3 SMA, the disease may worsen as they age, and they may lose mobility over time.
2. The treatments for SMA are getting better. "Historically, we didn't have a lot of good therapies for SMA," says Dr. Feyma. In the past, doctors tried to manage the condition and its symptoms with assistive devices, such as wheelchairs or, if a child had difficulty swallowing or breathing, a feeding tube or ventilation device.
Today, there are drugs that have changed this approach and are helping kids live longer, more vibrant, independent lives. If your child is younger than 2, they are eligible for a new gene therapy–based drug called onasemnogene abeparvovec, which requires a onetime treatment via infusion. Another drug is nusinersen, which is given by spinal tap to people of all ages who have the disease.
Treatment can be expensive, says Vamshi K. Rao, MD, an attending physician in neurology at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, though he also notes there have been some strides in insurance coverage and programs to make these more affordable. As expensive as these drugs are, he notes that people with SMA typically have a lot of complications, and the meds can reduce the need for hospital stays, surgeries, and expensive equipment like wheelchairs.
3. You may want to do genetic testing. SMA is an autosomal recessive condition, says Dr. Rao, which means that typically both you and your partner carry an abnormal gene that can lead to SMA. "The frequency of someone being a carrier is 1 in 50," says Rao. "That's extremely high." (Sometimes however, an abnormal gene arises spontaneously, and only one parent — or neither — is a carrier.)
That also means that if you have one child with SMA, there is a chance that any other children you have will inherit it too. Talk to your doctor about whether you should have genetic counseling, as these specialists can talk to you more in depth about your family's risk.
4. Find a healthcare team. "A lot goes into caring for someone with SMA, especially for those more severe cases," says Rao. "It places a huge financial and emotional burden on parents," so you'll want to assemble a multidisciplinary team, ideally at your current hospital if its a one-stop setup that decreases travel time. Neurologists, pulmonologists, and specialists in rehabilitation, orthopedic, speech, and occupational therapy are just some of the experts you may need in your corner.
5. Seek out support groups. After a child receives a diagnosis, "parents get tossed into the SMA world quickly," says Feyma. He says that the community of parents of kids with SMA is an amazing resource for help and support. Rao credits Cure SMA with providing a top-notch community that rallies around parents and their children. Also ask your doctor what mental health services are available for your family and your child, as diagnosis can be stressful, says Rao.
To help teens live their best lives with SMA, Cure SMA offers a free support package that includes items that help make life easier and more comfortable, including smart devices like an Amazon Echo to operate light switches, door locks, and plugs; a sheepskin fleece for sitting; and heating pads, pillow positioners, and tablet mounts, which can make devices easier to use.
6. Stay hopeful for the future. If your older child or teen has type 3 SMA, there's a lot to be optimistic about. "Most of these patients do really well and are very, very smart," says Rao. "They go on to attend college and have successful careers." Consider this a reminder to think about everything your child could be able to do.

Christopher J. Gramiccioni will soon drop the "Acting" from his title as Monmouth County Prosecutor.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Gramiccioni's nomination yesterday despite opposition for the state PBA who made an issue of his hiring practices. The Senate is expected to confirm the prosecutor on August 1st.
A veteran of Chris Christie's U.S. Attorney's Office, Gramiccioni was the governor's first choice to replace former prosecutor Luis Valentin. But he did not meet the constitutional residency requirements for the job and was hired as First Assistant Prosecutor in 2011. Once the residency requirements were met, Peter Warshaw, Valentin's replacement on an acting basis, was nominated for a Superior Court judgeship and Gramiccioni took over the top law enforcement job in Monmouth County July 1, 2012.
Monmouth County Authorities are reminding the public of the county's new Special Needs Registry, a voluntary program designed to assist first responders to be prepared to assist residents with physical or mental impairments who find themselves in an emergency situation.
Charles Webster, spokesman for the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, told MMM that there was a large number of registrants when the program was launched in April by the Prosecutor, the Sheriff's Office and the Chiefs of Police Association, but that as news of the program faded, so have registrations.
Christopher D. Biello, 43, of Coe Place in Middletown, who also uses the alias Christopher Sherman, pleaded guilty to one count of second degree Theft by Deception, seven counts of third degree Theft by Deception, three counts of third degree Impersonation, four counts of third degree Bad Checks, two counts of third degree Theft, one count of fourth degree Forgery, one count of third degree Theft of Services, and one count of third degree Fraudulent Use of Credit Card in Judge Joseph W. Oxley's Court on Friday, according to a statement by Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.
Biello admitted he deceived and impersonated clients, obtained numerous credit cards in his victims' names, engaged in fraudulent loan attempts using the victims' identities and forged documents.
Toni Ann Marletta, the 50 year old women accused of killing Marissa Procopio, 15, of Atlantic Highlands, in a hit and run incident on Route 36 in Leonardo last July, had cocaine and alcohol in her system at the time of her arrest.
Danielle Procopio, Marissa's mother, said that investigators from the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and the Middletown Police Department shared the results of a toxicology report with her prior to Marletta's indictment for leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in a death, endangering the welfare of a child and other charges.
In an interview with MMM, Danielle said she is frustrated that Marletta is not being charged with vehicular homicide.
The "Acting" my soon get dropped from Christopher Gramiccioni's title. Governor Chris Christie has nominated the Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor for a full term. If confirmed by the Democratic State Senate, Gramiccioni will have a five year term.
Gramiccioni, an alumni of Christie's U.S. Attoney's Office, joined the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office in 2011 as First Assistant Prosecutor. He was promoted to Acting Prosecutor on July 1, 2012 after his predecessor, Peter Warshaw became a Superior Court Judge.
Monmouth County residents can sign up for the Special Needs Registry here.

New Year's Day of 1983 saw Cardiff City in Severnside action as the Bluebirds hosted Bristol Rovers at Ninian Park. Len Ashurst's side went into the game full of confidence following a five match unbeaten run that had bolstered their promotion hopes.
Cardiff City would continue their form as Jeff Hemmerman goals either side of Gary Bennett's finish secured the victory. Hemmerman would go on to score an impressive 26 goals in all competitions that season. The Bluebirds deservedly gained promotion to Division Two after finishing second in the table with 86 points.
Exeter's visit to the Welsh capital on New Year's Day of the 2000/01 campaign proved to be a memorable meeting for the Bluebirds faithful. Alan Cork's side beat the Grecians emphatically, netting six times with six different scorers.
Scott Young, Gavin Gordon, Andy Legg, Jason Bowen, Matt Brazier and Paul Brayson were all on the scoresheet for the hosts. The Bluebirds would go on to finish second that season as they secured promotion to Division Two.
Lennie Lawrence's Bluebirds travelled to Pride Park on New Year's Day of 2005. A crowd of 22,800 supporters witnessed an extremely competitive encounter for the midday kick-off. However, fans' favourite Peter Thorne broke the deadlock with a trademark header after 27 minutes.
The Bluebirds managed to hold on for all three points, with James Collins putting in a man-of-the-match performance in defence and the Rams' Iñigo Idiakez hitting the woodwork twice.
Cardiff City were in excellent form when they travelled to St Andrew's for a New Year's Day outing - the Bluebirds had only lost once in their previous ten league games.
A tense affair in the Midlands was seperated by a single goal, which came four minutes before half-time. After Craig Conway let fly from distance, Jack Butland could only palm the ball into the path of Joe Mason. The young forward made no mistake to secure Cardiff City's first victory at Birmingham since 1966.
This win extended City's lead at the top of the Championship to seven points, with the Bluebirds eventually gaining promotion to the Premier League after racking up 87 points.

Elderly woman rescued from balcony of burning terrace
A woman in her seventies was rescued from a burning house in North Melbourne early this morning.
Neighbours were alerted to the blaze by the woman's screams for help from the second storey of the house. Ten firefighters in three appliances from West Melbourne and Carlton stations attended the Courtney Street terrace just before 4.30am.
When they arrived neighbours were attempting to help the woman down from the balcony, however their ladder was too short. Firefighters quickly raised their own ladder and assisted the woman down to safety. She was understandably shaken, as the flames and smoke were leaping up to the balcony where she stood. She was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital where she has been treated for smoke inhalation. There were initial fears that there were two other people still inside the house, but firefighters conducted a thorough search and no one else was located.
It's believed the fire started at the front door, and Victoria Police are treating it as suspicious. The Victoria Police air wing, dog squad, arson and explosive squad attended the scene.
The entrance to the home, which has recently been renovated, has suffered significant damage, with scorch marks on the outside of the building and several metres into the hallway.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have information about the fire to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit: www.crimestoppers.com.au.


The kids favorite Filipino style Spaghetti. This recipe is creamier than the usual sauce and I used ground chicken this time. It turned out really good. No left over. Give it a try.
On a big pot warm cooking oil and brown sliced hot dog, set aside.
Using the same oil sauté garlic and onion.
Add ground chicken, ground pepper and sauté till meat turns golden brown.
Add the tomato ketchup and banana sauce and simmer for 20 minutes in low heat.
Add sugar and evaporated milk.
Stir and simmer for another 15-20 minutes in low heat.
Add browned hot dog to the sauce and simmer for few more minutes.
Season with salt and more ground pepper if desired.
Pour sauce over the pasta. Top with grated cheese and serve.
Wait....you didn't mention sugar in the ingredients list. How much white or brown?
A teaspoon of white sugar will do unless you want it more sweeter then use 2 teaspoon.

In his January 1, World Day of Peace Message, Pope Francis said, "The journey of reconciliation calls for patience and trust. Peace will not be obtained unless it is hoped for. In the first place, this means believing in the possibility of peace, believing that others need peace just as much as we do. Here we can find inspiration in the love that God has for each of us: a love that is liberating, limitless, gratuitous and tireless."
It seems that when it comes to the Middle East, we have long since given up any hope for peace. After these 20 years of war it seems like war is just the routine condition that we are expected to live with, sort of like background noise that you can do little about. I had thought that President Trump had more resolve than to get sucked into another conflict in the Middle East. His challenge to our NATO allies to step up and do more was a hopeful sign. Likewise, Trump has taken time to listen not just to the Generals but to the soldiers on the ground. In a book by Peter Bergen: Trump And His Generals: The Cost Of Chaos: "It's unwinnable. NATO's a joke. Nobody knows what they're doing," the SEALs told Trump, according to Bergen's book. "We don't fight to win. The morale is terrible. It's totally corrupt." And like his predecessor, President Obama, Trump's instincts seemed to be to bring the wars and conflicts to a conclusion. But also like his predecessor, he got talked into more war, not less.
The question now for the President is, "are you willing to do what it takes to successfully end these wars?" The last President to answer that with an emphatic yes, was President Truman, who brought WWII to a devastating end. Still, today, both Japan and Germany are our allies in peace. You can look back at the end of WWII and think, "no not that again" but that is what it took. So, if a Commander-in-Chief is going to engage in war making, he has to consider what it will take to win and ask if he and the country are willing or not to do. Otherwise we get 20 years of war with no end in sight.
And 20 years of war is a lot of blood and treasure spilled. Over the years, having spoken to many, many Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, I have come to see first-hand the high price we pay in broken human beings, physically, emotionally and psychologically. While we try to abide by the Geneva Conventions, the other side does not. What is a soldier to do when military installations are planted among civilian populations, near hospitals, schools and neighborhoods? Or when children are strapped with suicide vests or when enemy soldiers are disguised as veiled woman? Guerilla warfare and terroristic tactics make fighting wars along conventional rules of warfare almost impossible. So many of our Vets come home with recurring nightmares of having to bomb areas where they knew civilians would likely be killed or having to fire on women and children who were carrying explosive devices and bombs.
If you want to see for yourself just go to the Phoenix VA Hospital and spend some time sitting in the waiting area of the ER. You will see lots of Vets coming in and out, who don't necessarily need emergency care but need care just to cope with the day. Many of them will talk to you and share their experiences and their struggles and the unfair playing field they were sent to and the support they needed that never came. I've done it and it is like seeing the same horror film again and again.
One of the differences between today's wars and yesterday's is there is little sacrifice required by us. Since there is no Draft, we think, "well they volunteered to go, so…" Unlike with a Draft, the American people have a vested interested in ending a war quickly and bring our sons and daughters home. We also don't have to experience rations of food or heating fuel or gasoline, no blackouts, no Air raid Shelters or Nuclear Fallout drills in schools. So, our leaders get to play war without a lot of push back from us.
Since we started carving up the Middle East after WWI an II, we have tried to impose order and stability with little effect. For decades we were trying to protect the world's oil supply and lately trying to prevent a terrorist breeding haven. Why are we there now? What is the end game, what does a win look like? It is becoming like the scene in the last Godfather Film, when Michael Corleone says, "just when I was getting out, they pull me back in". Yep, they pulled Trump back in and now that things have been set in motion that we cannot anticipate, let's see if he can get us out for good.
Despite all the evidence to the contrary, let's believe in the possibility of peace and work to make it a reality.

Lunchbreak: Zimmer, Vikings Showed Aggressiveness on Pair of 4th-Downs
Lindsey Young
Assistant Editor & Staff Writer
Following the Vikings tough home loss to the Saints, Mark Craig of the Star Tribune wrote his weekly "Five Extra Points" column in which he delves into observations made of the contest.
One of Craig's takeaways focused on the pair of fourth-down decisions made by Vikings Head Coach Zimmer during the game.
Craig called the decision to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1 "spot on" late in the first quarter, and he pointed out that the gutsiness paid off for Minnesota. Craig wrote:
The Saints led 7-0, and the Vikings were one offensive possession into the game. But Zimmer alertly knew that kicking short field goals early is a good way to lose to [Drew] Brees. Picking on cornerback P.J. Williams for the third time in seven snaps, [Kirk] Cousins hit Stefon Diggs for the tying touchdown.
The Vikings second fourth-down attempt occurred early in the second half, when Minnesota trailed 17-13 and looked to regain the lead. Zimmer opted to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Vikings 45.
In shotgun formation with five wide and an empty backfield, the pass was swatted from [Laquon] Treadwell's grasp.
Craig said that the aggressive approach "was acceptable" but opined that the formation would have been better off showing "the threat of a run or a sneak, especially since the Vikings were running the ball well."
The Saints took over on downs. Although the Vikings defense held the Saints from getting in the end zone despite the favorable field position, New Orleans was able to kick a field goal and extend its lead by another three points.
Craig's other takeaways looked at Treadwell's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty following Adam Thielen's second quarter fumble, an interception on a pass from Cousins to Diggs, Zimmer's challenge of Michael Thomas staying in-bounds and the multi-faceted threat of Taysom Hill for the Saints.
Positive, negative takeaways from Vikings loss to Saints
The Vikings defense contained Brees, and their offense moved the ball.
But ultimately, critical mistakes were Minnesota's downfall in its Sunday Night Football loss to New Orleans.
In its weekly "Refocused" writeup following a game, analytics site Pro Football Focus shined a spotlight on both negative and positive takeaways from the Vikings Week 8 loss. The PFF analysts wrote:
The Vikings offense runs through their top two receivers. Thielen and Diggs [each] recorded 100 receiving yards in the contest. The only two mistakes from this week are what kept them from winning, as the Saints forced a Thielen fumble at the end of the half, and then Diggs and Cousins not being on the same page gave the Saints an easy pick six.
The offensive line for the Vikings was missing its starting left guard (Tom Compton) and tackle (Riley Reiff). In the first half, it looked like they would be just OK, but that changed quickly in the second half. The Saints defensive line was too much for the Vikings, as they pressured Cousins on a consistent basis.
PFF pointed out that Brees was held to a "below-average statistical game" and that running back duo Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara did most of the damage, totaling 106 yards rushing and an additional 60 yards through the air.
Nonetheless, the Vikings defense overall was the bright spot of Sunday's game.
The Vikings defense did its part against a high-powered Saints offense, limiting them to under 300 yards of total offense. They weren't able to generate much pressure on Brees, but when they did, it resulted in positive defensive plays, such as the interception.
After a big first quarter, Michael Thomas was limited the remainder of the game. Credit rookie Holton Hill, Trae Waynes and company for bouncing back and holding him under 100 receiving yards.

One of the biggest challenges one faces throughout their eating disorder recovery journey is what I like to call "the usual suspects." While challenges in eating disorder recovery differ vastly for many, there tend to be several that I hear often from clients and the recovery community. Identifying your main obstacles and strategies to overcome them is a tremendous accomplishment. Here I will address two of the key challenges I most commonly come across and will address more in my next article.
ED will tell you many lies such as "you'll never get better so why bother," "it's fine you can start over again tomorrow, next week, etc.," "you are (fill in the blank with whatever critical, self-defeating thoughts are coming through) and of course there are many more self-sabotaging thoughts that can prevent you from standing up to ED and moving forward in these moments.
Overcoming this obstacle and taking your power away from ED means FIRST identifying that these are the distortions that keep you stuck and making a decision to do something different. If you have a healthy support system, reach out to one of them immediately and telling them you are struggling and are making a conscious choice to stop engaging in ED behavior. This simple act alone can be helpful as it allows you to disrupt the intrusive, negative thoughts for a moment and make yourself accountable to discontinue the behavior.
If possible, you may need to remove yourself from the environment where you are acting out on symptoms even if it is just leaving your room and going into the family room. Staying in the environment can be triggering and make it more difficult to stop acting out on symptoms.
Another great tool is writing down your commitment that you are going to honor yourself and your eating disorder recovery by standing up to ED and then writing down what you are choosing to do instead such as journal, call/see a friend, or engage in a healthy activity, etc.
When you are living with or in connection with people who minimize your struggle in any way, it creates feelings of self-doubt and, as a result, I often hear from people "then obviously it must not be that big a deal." Of course it is painful and frustrating when our loved ones don't understand an ED and can be extremely triggering. Perhaps your loved ones with adequate education via therapy or books can begin to gain a deeper understanding and be more supportive, but the reality is that some people are simply not open or willing to try to understand.
Overcoming this obstacle lies in working toward accepting that your loved ones getting it and being supportive CANNOT be a prerequisite to your eating disorder recovery. Ideally, they would understand and be there for you and you have a right to ALL of your feelings about it, but allowing their ignorance and/or unwillingness to be part of the solution cannot determine your future.
Working through these feelings via therapy, support groups, healthy supportive friends, or journaling can be helpful and if you believe that your loved ones are open to learning and showing up for you more then I highly recommend including them in your therapy and/or sharing books and other resources with them.
As I write this, I understand how tough working through any eating disorder recovery obstacles is, so please be kind and patient with yourself as you continue your journey.

Deliberate Accidents In F1
tifosi too! replied to Wez's topic in F1 Discussions
--That post was directed at you, who commented on my original post directed at Wez and therefore directed your post at me, so I had to direct it at you, so that I wouldn't be talking to myself ! (to be read with Kimi's voice and accent). --What do you mean you don't understand? Isn't it plain English? --Ok, Buddy, don't be sorry! --Yes that's what i was saying!
Indeed I didn't bother enough to even make it readable enough. Plus i 'm not English. What I meant (deep breath), is : 1. If he cannot understand the differences or the circumstances that differentiate these events, i bet there quite a few other things he can't understand. Have you ever seen the video from adelaide '94? Have you ever raced in a track with opponents? Maybe you should take an unbiased look and tell me again. 2. Also, if we were to compare punishments, we have a team principal who admitted to have ordered his driver to hit a wall so that other driver can win from the back of the grid and a race driver who had some "suspicious" events that can be considered as racing incidents or bad judgment at some very highly stressful situations (championship on the line, figure it out). There is no way to prove they were deliberate so it's plain bigotry in my book. MS was excluded from the results of the 1997 championship, quite a severe punishment and this still without concrete evidence. 3. They have been beaten to death.
I bet there are a lot of other things you can' understand! Briatore admitted quilt, the others are assumptions, unproven beyond reasonable doubt and bigot-isms, if there is such a word! These matters have been beaten to death more than anything and I just can't see the purpose! By the way, did you know M. Schumacher has 7 world titles *to his name and 91 victories?!!!
Why, God, Why????

Bye-Bye Flavio...

Since good ol' Flavio is now out of the sport, I think it's only fair to provide him with his own farewell thread! I know he wasn't the most like-able guy, but he was a special person indeed! I wouldn't mind having him back actually!

Well, looking back (at youtube) and seeing Piquet's crash again, I must say... he was excellent! I don't think he ever drove that car as masterfully as he crashed it! Too bad to see Flav leave, not because I like (which I don't) but because he is a classic F1 figure! The paddock won't be the same without him!
Ferrari Is Making Me Soft
tifosi too! replied to Autumnpuma's topic in F1 Discussions
Welcome back Mike and Eric!! Great thread and I wish F1 had more historical teams to write about! The thing about Ferrari is that is an "exotic" car manufacturer that dares to compete at the ultimate level and not simply built "rich boy toys" that are hidden behind horsepower numbers. There is an authentic racing heritage that is alive and kicking in their road cars and is available to the public! Also the sentiment does belong in a team like Ferrari, but remember Enzo Ferrari! He was notoriously hard but also generous with every single one of his employees! He demanded absolute perfection! The ultimate success Ferrari had during the Todt-Schumacher-Brawn era would make him indeed proud, to see his team united like an army and aiming only for the ultimate success! Also all (we) Mediterranean guys are notoriously bad at losing and I know very well I enjoyed every single one of MS's victories or any other Ferrari driver for that matter! Perhaps there is a bit of a cultural difference in perception regarding competitiveness , since this is the World championship, but I assure you that even though many of the fans were complaining of boring seasons, many other where enjoying them or getting terribly annoyed because their team was doing/not doing well!

tifosi too! replied to mikathegreat2's topic in F1 Discussions
Well, actually you compared the two and suggested Ferrari weren't penalized because of "blah blah"...! Was Brawn punished or reprimanded for the spring that almost killed FM officially?? Was anybody penalised for broken bodywork that came of the car by itself? I don't think the FIA would look into this as you suggest if it was another team and I really believe I 'm wasting my time because your views are distorted by your Ferrari-hate . These things and other things have fallen off cars in the past and some more will come off in the future and indeed they travel at high speeds!! So are the cars... I say ban them too! This whole thing is just dangerous!!
Totally-different- One is a wheel, the other a wheel cap. The penalty was for the team releasing him unsafe, now Badoer was lapping the circuit and it broke off.. Spot the difference, will ya!!!

I agree Renault shouldn't have been disqualified and i 'm glad they 'll be on the grid! They never put their wheels on well in Hungary anyway, so why punish them??(Hungary 2006!) I wish MS was back as well, but anyway, maybe some other time!

Ferrari Hits Out At Williams And Red Bull
tifosi too! replied to YHR's topic in F1 Discussions
Agree with the first two sentences. About the fair play -thing- I had to use an example because I got tired of saying the same things over end over again. I believe it was a good example anyway! I don't understand why fair play doesn't belong in F1 or "in any serious competition". I 'm sure the teams have been nice to each other on occasion in these past 50 years or so and to rule it out completely is not realistic. Even N. Haug said about the Williams stance, that what goes around comes around!! And the test would benefit his (their) largest competitor! Nobody watches a sport to see "fair play" in action! However, I believe, a good gesture now and then is probably a breath of fresh air for the fans and the teams! Does this mean I have to watch football now?? Because I don't want to...!
Well you thought wrong, twice !! It's not exactly boxing and is very mental as well, so I 'd say it's a noble sport!! Of course by saying noble I didn't mean gentle! Anyway the Williams team made the decision, not FW himself! I don't think of him as a saint though! If he was, he wouldn't be rich and having his own F1 team! He would have given them to the poor !
Have you ever seen a football match, where when a player of the rival team is hurt and down on the ground and the referee doesn't show a foul and everybody is supposed to keep playing? What do the players do, even if the referee says "play"? They kick the ball out of the court, essentially handing the possession of the ball to their rivals, until their player gets off the ground. This is called fair play. If you can't see a connection here, then I have nothing else to say. Even Haug, who even said MS could win this season, "hit out" at Williams. Ferrari didn't oppose the STR rookie test, Red Bull does..! Do they have the right to be angry? I don't know!!! Unfortunately F1 turns out to not be such a "noble" sport after all...
This is their excuse for not agreeing to the test and I believe it's flawed for all the reasons I mentioned so far. However if they don't want to agree, they hardly need an excuse, therefore this excuse of their is not debatable by anyone. I don't agree .
Of course bringing back MS is a brilliant move, it's amazing for everybody! About the out of shape 40year old who can't possibly be their best choice, well maybe we 'll just have to wait and see!! About all the test drivers (without being reserve drivers) having superlicences (which are needed to compete in an F1 race, not testing), I highly doubt it and I may look it up.


The increase [in complexity] has been neither universal nor inevitable. Bacteria, for example, are probably no more complex today than their ancestors 2000 million years ago. The most that we can say is that some lineages have become more complex in the course of time. Complexity is hard to define or to measure, but there is surely some sense in which elephants and oak trees are more complex than bacteria, and bacteria than the first replicating molecules.
For millennia, naturalists and philosophers have struggled to define the most fundamental units of living systems and to delimit the precise boundaries of the organisms that inhabit our planet. This difficulty is partly a product of the search for a singular theory that can be used to carve up all of the living world at its joints.
Skillings reviews the deep historical roots of the question, touching on the views of Charles Darwin and his grandfather, both Huxleys (T. H. and Julian), Herbert Spencer, and other 19th and early 20th century thinkers, as well as some more recent authors, including Daniel Janzen and Peter Godfrey Smith.
Dinah Davison and Erik Hanschen.
A couple of weeks ago, I indulged in a little shameless self-promotion, writing about my new chapter on volvocine individuality in Biological Individuality, Integrating Scientific, Philosophical, and Historical Perspectives. Now two graduate students in the Michod lab at the University of Arizona, Erik Hanschen and Dinah Davison, have published their own take on volvocine individuality in Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology ("Evolution of individuality: a case study in the volvocine green algae"). The article is open-access, and Hanschen and Davison are listed as equal contributors.


Burnett's story is not an isolated one either. She is one of the thousands of cases of families affected by the shutdown nationwide.
The one way that federal employees like Higginbotham's father could decide to not work is by filing for unemployment or simply not showing up for work. But one thing that federal workers cannot do is strike. Under current laws federal workers are not allowed to protest the current situation, and for some of those working without pay, this fact is crushing. Higginbotham believes the best way to help is to make your voice heard by protesting the building of the wall and by calling your congressmen to tell them that enough is enough and the government cannot be closed one day longer.
UPDATE: Since the publication of this story the government has reopened temporarily for a three week period while funding for the government and the proposed border wall is debated over between the House and the President. If a funding bill agreement is not reached by Feb. 15, the government shutdown will restart or the president will declare a national emergency.

Cash, Johnny: Bear's Sonic Journal BOX
Home / Cash, Johnny: Bear's Sonic Journal BOX
Bear's Sonic Journals: At the Carousel Ballroom, 4/24/1968 is an historic and never-heard live Johnny Cash concert recorded in San Francisco by innovative sound wizard Owsley Stanley. Captured in the heart of Haight-Ashbury, just days before the release of Cash's iconic At Folsom Prison album (and over six months before the arrival of the equally revered At San Quentin), At The Carousel Ballroom serves as a third essential – and wholly unique – live document from the era, a moment of cultural collision, with Cash leaning into songs about society's outcasts, while playing a venue operated by The Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead. At The Carousel Ballroom captures Cash at the height of his charismatic powers, in playful and powerful dialogue with his then-new bride June Carter, and backed by his legendary band The Tennessee Three: guitarist Luther Perkins, bassist Marshall Grant and drummer W.S. Holland. His set list that evening diverged from other concerts of the time, as Cash chose to cover two Bob Dylan compositions ("Don't Think Twice It's Alright," and his earliest known recording of "One Too Many Mornings") and perform songs of the overlooked and underserved such as "The Ballad of Ira Hayes." Recorded by Stanley in a verité style, the album startles with its clarity and dimension. Many of the sound reproduction techniques that Stanley pioneered while serving as the in-house engineer at the Carousel are accepted sonic gospel today. When he listened back to the Cash concert, he knew he had captured something special, immediately earmarking it for preservation. This release marks the latest entry in the Owsley Stanley Foundation's Bear's Sonic Journals series, which has previously included Stanley's live recordings of The Allman Brothers Band, Tim Buckley, Doc & Merle Watson and many more. The live album, presented here as a colored vinyl 2LP-set, features new essays by Johnny and June Carter Cash's son John Carter Cash, Owsley Stanley's son Starfinder Stanley, The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, and Widespread Panic's Dave Schools, as well as new art by Susan Archie, and a reproduction of the original Carousel Ballroom concert poster by Steve Catron. "When you hear this, you feel like you are on the stage with the band," says Starfinder. John Carter Cash agrees, describing At The Carousel Ballroom as "what I believe to be one of the most intimate and connected shows I have ever heard."

Charlestown Primary School considering staggered end of school day to combat parent parking problem
The parish council claimed that some parents had been parking "inconsiderately"
A primary school in St Austell has revealed it would consider staggering the end of the school day to combat the issue of "inconsiderate" parent parking at pick-up times.
Parents of pupils at Charlestown Primary School received a newsletter earlier this week after a complaint had been made by the parish council about parking and rudeness.
A parent of a pupil at the school, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "It is an absolutely ridiculous situation.
"As a parent at the school I've witnessed first hand the traffic problems.
"I choose to walk as I live nearby but some people are so lazy they don't think anything of parking at the cemetery, which is terrible when people visiting graves have nowhere to park."
The letter, signed by headteacher Mark Clustom, stated: "We have received a complaint from the parish council this afternoon regarding parking at the beginning and end of the school day.
Charlestown ACE Academy play time
"The complaint talks of inconsiderate parking, residents' drives being blocked and, it is alleged, that people are being rude to residents when they are challenged about their parking."
It continued: "We are very aware of the ongoing parking issues that exist at the beginning and end of school. We have arranged with Tesco that parents/carers can use the car park there to alleviate the congestion.
"The Wraparound facility provides childcare before and after school for those who need an earlier or later drop off/collection time.
"The next option that will be considered is staggering the end of the school day, with KS2 children finishing later. This will be discussed at the next staff meeting and parents will be given adequate notice of any changes decided."
Speaking to Cornwall Live, headteacher Mr Clustom said: "Last week we received an e-mail from the parish council, saying they had received several complaints about inconsiderate parking at the end of the day.
"We are planning to consult with parents about any changes to the current parking and pick up and drop off arrangements and if there is a high level of support we will give a good length of notice before making any changes.
"We will continue to work with parents, the community, local authority and parish council on this matter."

guerlain – An In Depth Anaylsis on What Works and What Does not
Of all the lipsticks I tried, Estée Lauder had the most moisturizing formula. Clarins is a prestigious French beauty brand that knows how to have fun. Billed as a matte twist on Clarins's legendary Joli Rouge lipstick, I found it in fact had a soft finish and a glossy texture—so, not matte at all (?), but I liked that. (The scent may be a bit a great deal for some.) This is the lipstick I wore each and every day while on trip, and then in the withdrawal week afterwards. Following on from their Gatsby era-themed release, the British fragrance brand is channeling decadence of a distinct sort with Babylonia, an extension of the La Route de la Soie collection. Inspired by the vast array of spices and flora in the region, the fragrance is a powdery floral with gourmand notes.

"It is often greater not to put all your eggs in a single basket, and as an alternative function with a variety of personalities to expand your attain and appeal to a wider audience," she stated. "This does not just imply functioning with different forms of celebrities across age ranges, but even partnering with athletes, virtual idols, or other related professionals to provide the proper messages, at the ideal time," she added. And, unlike just before, big brands are not just vying for celebrities with worldwide recognition — like Gong Li and Maggie Cheung. Industry authorities point out that streetwear prospects have a keen sense of authenticity and hype and are properly applied to merchandise being released in drops. That adds an further element of excitement and desirability to the fragrances.

Burberry also wanted to market place its beauty products with fashion and accessories, which it felt the brand could not do with a licensee. The Fashion & Leather Goods enterprise group accomplished organic income development of 17% in 2019. Louis Vuitton continued to deliver an exceptional efficiency, to which all businesses and all clientele contributed. Iconic lines and new creations contributed in a balanced way to revenue growth. The "Louis Vuitton X" exhibition in Los Angeles effectively showed the Maison's lots of artistic collaborations, and an unprecedented partnership in e-sport was signed with the League of Legends Planet Championship.
To celebrate the launch, Guerlain has partnered with photographer/activist/author Arthus Bertrand to generate a striking campaign film referred to as 'The Planet Is Our Garden'. An acclaimed environmentalist, Bertrand is the author of 'Earth from Above' and Founder of the GoodPlanet Foundation. To minimise the campaign's carbon footprint, some of the pictures made use of come from the iconography of 'Earth from Above'. A further striking function of the exhibition is Jeanne Susplagas' "La Maison Malade" – an installation that speaks of disproportionate consumption, inequality, excess and scarcity. In 1 of the grand downstairs rooms, Susplagas has installed a glass greenhouse and thousands of empty medicine packets are either flowing from its doors or encroaching across its threshold, based on how you pick out to interpret it.
Fresh, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna and Acqua di Parma also showed quickfire development. Perfumes & Cosmetics saw substantial demand-driven sales development due to skincare and accomplishment in Dior and Guerlain lines, and Sephora continued to drive the company's retail business. The Wines & Spirits enterprise group accomplished organic revenue growth of six%. The business enterprise group continued to pursue its worth tactic based on a powerful innovation policy, though accentuating its environmental and societal commitment. Champagne was driven by the quicker growth of prestige cuvées and by its price boost policy. Hennessy cognac, which recorded good development, became the world's leading premium spirits brand.

One balmy June night, while eating an omelette on the patio of a café at the Place de la Madeleine, I experienced one of those Paris "moments", which endear one to the City of Light forever.
It was midnight. My daughter was fast asleep at the hotel and I had just come from an organ recital at the Eglise de la Madeleine, not at all ready to retire for the night. I sat lazily sipping my wine, the city still very much alive. I was getting on a plane next day, going home, already missing Paris and trying to console myself with the promise that I would be back…when I heard it.
It was the sound which first diverted my attention, like angels laughing, the palpable camaraderie of girls in a bunch, how noisy they can be, a little tipsy with drink and feeling lighthearted. Then they floated by, coming round the curve of the Place de la Madeleine and whirring past me on sturdy large-framed bicycles fitted with baskets, which clanked against metal frames.
There were six or seven of them, young women I guessed to be in their twenties, in evening dress. Chiffon to the knees, barefoot, high heels bouncing around inside the baskets, scarves and tresses flowing about them. The little breeze they stirred up swirled the scent of perfume mixed with alcohol around my head. One of the girls clicked at her little bell mounted on the handlebars, to alert a crossing pedestrian, and they all giggled. In a flash, the plume of silk and fringe disappeared down a side street, but it seemed a very long time before the breathless chirping faded into the night.
I walked back to my hotel and began to pack.

Beautiful! What a stunning door. The French must have a thing for blue doors. I took a photo of a HUGE blue door in Strasbourg (it's on my blog) a few weeks ago. It's a googerus shade of blue. Not as fancy as this one, but still lovely.

Worthington, Ohio---The National Tractor Pullers Association and the C-Bar-C Expo Center in Cloverdale, Indiana will team up to produce the fifth annual NTPA Winter Nationals presented by Bane-Welker Equipment. Conducted on a regulation-length 320' course, the indoor event will feature nine NTPA divisions and comprise three sessions on Friday and Saturday, January 11 and 12.
In truck and tractor pulling, vehicles drag a 20-ton weight transfer sled along a straight, dirt track as the sled's resistance increases. Within a class of similar vehicles, the puller that achieves the greatest distance is victorious. The NTPA is the world's number-one sanctioning organization for premier-level championship pulling events. With superchargers emitting an ear-splitting whine, massive tires churning clay at 100-mph wheelspeeds, and turbochargers pumping columns of diesel smoke, high-performance pulling offers fans a multitude of thrills unmatched by any other motorsport.

They're all under one roof at the expansive C-Bar-C complex, which will host a post-session concert by David Ball on Friday night. Discounted pre-sale tickets for individual sessions, all day Saturday, and the entire weekend are on sale now at O'Reilly Auto Parts outlets and at ShopNTPA.com.
Appearing for the first time in Cloverdale will be Super Farm Tractors in a Friday evening class sponsored by Big Ass Diesel of Nicholasville, Kentucky. Divisions returning to the friendly confines of C-Bar-C include Super Stock Diesel and Pro Stock Tractors, Super Stock Diesel 4x4 and Exhibition Super Semi Trucks, and Modified Minis (Friday, 7 p.m. and Saturday, 7 p.m.), Light Pro Stock Tractors (Saturday, noon and 7 p.m.), and Two-Wheel-Drive and Four-Wheel-Drive Trucks (Saturday, noon).
Competitors scheduled to appear include 2018 champions Carl Atley (GN SSD 4x4), Adam Bauer (GN MINI), Ben Ellis (GN FWD), Dean Holicky (GN SEMI), Kendall Houk (RN LT PS), Charles Pelletier (GN PS), Randy Petro (GN TWD), Wes Spencer (RN LT PS), and Stan Warda (GN SF).

In the past, standard care for an intracranial aneurysm was to place a clip similar to a bobby pin on the neck of the aneurysm to stem the bleeding. This operation involves a craniotomy, the cutting of a hole in the skull.
Endovascular coiling, a new form of therapy offered at St. Joseph's Hospital's Neuroscience Institute, results in better outcomes with decreased danger the patient. With endovascular coiling, platinum micro coils, similar to very tiny springs, are placed in the aneurysm via a tiny tube. These coils fills the aneurysm, causing it to clot. The chance of re-bleeding is decreased to nearly zero.
Can I consider myself cured after undergoing a coiling procedure?
Unfortunately, not necessarily. Even after successful treatment of a subarachnoid bleed, numerous postoperative problems may arise. For this reason, it is important for you to spend up to 2 weeks in a neurosurgical intensive care unit. There, medical professionals will monitor pressure and blood flow within the skull; blood circulation and cardiac function; pulmonary status; and neurological condition. The aim of patient management in the intensive care unit is to prevent or reduce all complications.
What conditions may arise following the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm?
Epileptic seizures occur in 20 percent of all patients. These generally result from the intracranial hypertension (high blood pressure) that appears in virtually all patients after rupture.
Obstructive Hydrocephalus – or a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull – affects 20 to 25 percent of patients suffering from the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, most commonly after severe hemorrhage. To treat this condition, physicians insert a shunt in the skull. The shunt drains off the excess fluid, relieving the pressure on the brain.
Vasospasm, or contraction and spasm of the blood vessels, occurs in nearly 33 percent of patients. The results of this condition range from severe headaches and fever to dementia or coma. Your physicians will use a Transcranial Doppler scan to see if you may be suffering from vasospasm. This noninvasive examination is extremely good at detecting the condition, and in helping your doctor determine the best treatment available for you.


The mental health culture in Irish history has been a dark one, but this is rapidly changing. No longer are "get on with it" or "get locked up" the only options. Psychotropic drugs can help, but psychotherapy is still a mystery to most people.
Psychotherapy is a subtle human and artistic field that is also becoming a scientific field. It can work because the human brain and mind are 'neuroplastic'. All that means is that the human mind and brain can be positively reprogrammed. With a computer, press delete, and it is an instant change. It is not so quickly and easily done with our mind and brain, but it can be done.
Many people feel trapped in their misery and constriction, without a clue as to how to free themselves.
2 Dealing in a balanced way with powerful human emotions. They are not just feelings, but powerful biological events that can heal or kill, bring peace or misery. Emotions define our humanness.
3 Negative, false, embedded beliefs, such as "no one will ever love me", and other self-fulfilling negative imprints.
The reprogramming of the mind and brain can take place in several ways: (a ) spontaneously, when life just teaches us a truth we did not know before; (b ) through skilled psychotherapy or counselling with a gifted helper; and (c ) by learning and applying various techniques that we can practise on our own.
One of Prof Harvey Wasserman's abiding interests is in discovering techniques to produce positive change for people (including himself ), and then teaching them to his patients, students, and to people who attend his workshops. "I have learned many of my expansive exercises from the great teachers of the past 50 years: Virginia Satir, Milton Erickson, Al Lowen and many others," he said. "I have studied with native healers around the world and created original neuroplastic experiences of my own.
"In my Expand Your Life workshops, I teach simple exercises that help with depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems. They help participants to identify negative thinking and the beliefs that limit personal growth and expansion. Feedback from participants from previous workshops indicates that when a person learns neuroplastic exercises and then practises them at home, they are very often able to make dramatic improvements in their life."
The next series of Expand Your Life workshops will take place on Saturdays, September 30, and October 7 and 14.
The workshops are open to the general public. All in the healing professions are also invited to attend. "You will find the experiences professionally and personally useful," Prof Wasserman said.
The price is €5 per workshop so that anyone who wants to can learn how to expand their life.
Going to all three workshops would be ideal; any individual workshop will be useful.

Q: What file format/database format does Picasa use? I am trying to figure out what file format the .db file and .pmp files are. I tried using db_dump (Berkeley DB) for the .db files, but it seems that they are not Berkeley DB, or of an older version. I have no idea what the .PMP files are.
Directory of C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Google\Picasa2\db3
 6/09/2010  08:07 PM           303,748 imagedata_uid64.pmp

 6/10/2010  10:06 AM           467,168 previews_index.db

Any help appreciated.

A: .PMP is a format proprietory to Picasa, used to store informations about images.
( Reference )
( Note: Below referenced blog post is dated, not sure how relevant/correct it is to the current version of Picasa )
More info:

in the db2 directory there are a
  number of files. The important files
  for this are albumdata_token.pmp,
  albumdata_uid.pmp and
  albumdata_name.pmp
Here are the contents of the files:
albumdata_name.pmp -
this is the name of the albums in
  picasa. The first two
  are defaults and are not included in
  any of the other files.

Starred Photos

Screensaver

root

modified_for_tags

albumdata_uid.pmp - This is where the
  hashes are.

c332f1814ff6d4f21dbb41b41149544d

albumdata_token.pmp
Here's we see
  the uid applied to create a token for
  the albums. Note that "star" and
  "screensaver" do not have uids.

]star

]screensaver

]album:b131d7e17dfdff73eb0340b4e9d3d6f3

]album:c332f1814ff6d4f21dbb41b41149544d

Now, if we look at the
  lastalbumselected value in the
  registry, we can pair it up to the
  hash since these files are all listed
  in the same order. If you exclude star
  and screensaver you can see that the
  lastalbumselected for me was sam3.
You can even go one step further if
  you include albumdata_filename.pmp.
  This file also matches up to the other
  files, except I forgot to mention one
  thing. "root" is literally the root of
  the logical drive that picasa
  searched(in this case C:), so it is
  excluded from albumdata_filename.pmp.
  This file contains the path to where
  the images are stored.
Other files to pay attention to:

bigthumbs.db

thumbs2.db

thumbs.db

previews.db

These all follow the good old
  thumbs.db structure and contain
  thumbnails of all of the images at
  various resolutions, since picasa can
  send files directly to photo
  processing businesses.
One other thing that is of pretty
  vital importance in terms of proving
  that someone created an album and that
  the program didn't just index
  something.
In the Picasa2Albums directory you'll
  see a file for each of the album(s)
  created by the user under the folder
  using the DBID as its name. Below are
  the contents of the album I created
  stored in a file named
  {c332f1814ff6d4f21dbb41b41149544d.pal.

A: I added an answer on Stackoverflow to a similar question about .pmp files, which also points to some partial notes I wrote about the format of these files.

A: You can try to read Picasa database by exportpicasa utility (http://sourceforge.net/projects/exportpicasa/). It's beta and feedbacks are welcome.

A stronger financial foundation is needed in order to succeed in implementing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addition to political commitment and public funds, the private sector will also need to make a greater contribution to reaching the goals. In July 2015, the international community agreed on a framework for implementing and financing the 2030 Agenda – the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
The UN estimates that a global investment of USD 5–7 trillion per year is needed to realise the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Such a sum can only be mobilised if public and private donors also take part, which is why the international community agreed in mid-July 2015 at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development on a catalogue of measures to achieve the necessary funding for the 2030 Agenda. The Addis Ababa Action Agenda is integral to the 2030 Agenda. The framework comprises a series of solutions:
Mobilising domestic resources
According to the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, mobilising domestic resources is a key source of finance for sustainable development. These resources help build functioning institutions to drive sustainable development, improve government accountability to communities and reduce dependence on foreign support. That is why the Addis Ababa Action Agenda includes provisions to strengthen national tax systems and to intensify international cooperation to combat tax evasion and illicit financial flows. Switzerland remains committed in this area, and implements global standards as well as providing technical assistance to other countries.
Private financial resources
The Addis Ababa Action Agenda recognises the important contribution the private sector can make towards the achievement of the SDGs, for example through private direct investment in sustainable development, remittances from migrants and funding from foundations and charities. To encourage the private sector to invest more heavily in activities promoting sustainable development it is important for all countries to offer a supportive regulatory framework and appropriate incentives. Public-private partnerships must also be fostered, which is at the heart of Switzerland's current efforts.
Targeted use of official development assistance
Official development assistance (ODA) remains an important means of funding. In future this will increasingly benefit the poorest countries and will be guided by effectiveness criteria. In addition, ODA will increasingly be leveraged in order to help mobilise domestic resources and additional private-sector resources. Switzerland remains committed to its own target of allocating 0.5% of gross national income (GNI) for ODA. At the same time, it continues to recognise the UN target of 0.7% of GNI for ODA.
Non-financial implementation measures
Providing financial resources for sustainable development is not the only way to implement the new agenda. As part of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the countries commit to pursuing policy coherence and an enabling environment at national and international level. The agenda recognises the importance of science, technology and innovation for sustainable development and proposes measures for the transfer of environmentally-friendly, resource-efficient technology and more effective knowledge transfer. Switzerland is also committed to a rules-based, open, non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system as a key condition for the promotion of sustainable development. In addition, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda envisages measures for sustainable debt management and the return of stolen public assets.

[url]http://www.itg-usa.com/indexusa.htm[/url]. How does this work?
As far as url addressing, I'm not sure what you mean. If you are referring to bookmarks, the bookmark will always be the frameset no matter what page(s) are being displayed when the visitor creates the bookmark. There are workarounds, but none of them work in all browsers.
If you mean linking between the frames, each link needs to have a specified target if it is not to open in the same frame.
The page title reads Untitled Doent. You need to change that in the frameset.
Thank you for your honesty! I fixed the frames problem and the Java error. I took the frames out and went to another navigation.
Thank you also for your input. Im changing the site back to the text links. I forgot about the flash problem that some users have. It was in Frames, but I changed it thanks to the input from Dave.
> However, the link he posted to [url]http://www.itg-usa.com/indexusa.htm[/url] is not a framed site, unless I'm just missing something.
He beat you to it... it was framed in the original post but it looks as though much has been done since then.
> However, all the navigation is in Flash buttons, so it's completely unusable for me.
Yep. I see three words: Products, Information and News, and if I understand correctly, that's about all the search engines will see as well - no links to index.
> Add to that, the main ITG logo at the top of the page is so fuzzy as to be unreadable.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't use it, but if you decide to keep the Flash I would suggest that you also provide alternative text navigation as well.
Critique / help with this site, please.

After many years of keeping quiet, today's special guest Madeleine Black, author of the book Unbroken decided to share her story.
Violently gang-raped at thirteen, raped three more times before the age of eighteen, Madeleine has experienced more trauma in her life that most ever will.
Madeleine recognizes that she was a victim of a crime that left her silent for many years, but has now found her voice and intends to use it. Not just for her, but for so many who can't find theirs yet. Sexual violence is so deeply entrenched in our culture and she hopes that by simply speaking out and writing about it, she can help to combat it by reducing the stigma while promoting a cultural change.
She has certainly felt the power and healing effects in sharing her story and hopes that her book will help other victims of sexual violence, crime, PTSD, and anyone who has struggled with forgiveness. She wants to spread her message: It's not what happens to us that is important, but what we do with what happens to us and if we choose to, we can get past anything that happens to us in life.
