Your skin reflects your lifestyle. If it looks healthier and younger it makes for a more confident you. These days more and more people are foregoing painful face lifts, bleaching, acid peels and injections, trying instead anti-wrinkle creams. While not only saving money, the positive effect they can have on the skin is increasingly winning people over as the results can truly be amazing. Most of the time you will notice a softening of your skin in as little as two weeks, and all without having painful surgery.
Some things that can cause your skin to wrinkle are the amount of time you are exposed to the sun. Ultraviolet light tends to speed up the aging process. Also, Menopause is a major contributing factor because as women age less estrogen is being produced, which causes a decrease in collagen. Habitual frowning also causes the muscles between the eyebrows, eyes and mouth to wrinkle.
A lot of products claim to have outstanding results but very few really produce. There are two that actually do back their claim up! Among the highest wrinkle prevention products reviewed by consumer reports is called Sytropin. It is literally taking over the industry! It is a Homeopathic supplemental with six highly potent growth factors along with eight acid releasers and comes in a convenient spray. Along with an increase of skin elasticity it also gives you much thicker hair and boundless energy. You will notice a more restful sleep and improves memory and vision. It increases the immune system which results in faster healing. Cholesterol is also decreased which builds stronger bones.
Another highly rated anti wrinkle cream said to have amazing results is an all natural cream called Avotone. Users gave rave reports to the hypoallergenic Avotone. Reports are that it gave their skin a natural healthy glow while moisturizing and nourishing it. Face muscles are more relaxed giving the skin a younger look and feel. An active ingredient called Peptides actively reduces fine lines around the eyes and forehead. You will not only notice wrinkles fading, but also those pesky age spots. Apply it twice a day (morning and before bedtime). It leaves the skin smooth and there is a very noticeable difference in fine lines. You can put it on before applying your normal makeup, along with a sunscreen if you wish.
You will see a marked improvement no matter if you use Sytopin or Avotone, but use them regularly and always remember to clean your face every night. You will be surprised at how many positive comments you will get from people that will see how much healthier and younger you look!

It is no secret that I enjoy making things from scratch. However, I know not everyone has the time and energy to do everything from scratch. So it is nice that companies like Maple Grove Farms can make gluten free baking easier with their gluten free mixes. Maple Grove Farms, recently sent me a sample of their gluten-free All Purpose Baking Mix to try out. This is a product that will get you in and out of the kitchen quickly but deliver on taste also. Here is a quick easy delicious biscuit recipe for you. A big thank you to my friend Monica who came up with this recipe! Thank you my friend!
Crumble the butter into the baking mix with finger tips until it resembles small bread crumbs.
Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix. Save a little cheese to decorate.
Drop onto a greased baking sheet and sprinkle remaining cheese on top to brown.
Bake for 12 - 15 mins at 400 Degrees.
Mmmm ... You can never go wrong with cheese, I always say!
Add a little garlic and they sound just like those little ones they serve at Ruby Tuesdays!
Oh yes Jen, Garlic would be a great addition to these for sure!

If the injury is not due to the negligence of the homestay family then they will not be held financially responsible to the student.

All insurance requirements for the student’s property, vehicle and health are the responsibility of the student and not the homestay family. Whilst some home contents policies extend to include a small allowance for visitors property, it is not a standard inclusion.

Be Proactive With Your Banking Relationships!
Each year, after annual results are available, you should ask your relationship manager(s) and their bosses to attend, as a group, a presentation on the results by key directors (ideally), the CEO and the CFO. These meetings enable your company to provide the “story” behind the numbers and allows bankers to question you about performance and the upcoming financial year and beyond.
After the financial results have been shared, your CFO (with the CEO) should regular meetings throughout the year; this can be for a general update on matters or if the bank(s) want to discuss something specific. These meetings should ensure that the banks never receive any unpleasant surprises.
You should encourage your bank(s) to better understand your business through site visits. These are an opportunity to “show off” your business and local management are generally proud of their businesses.
Your bank(s) should be kept informed of business opportunities within your company, be it foreign exchange lines for operating companies, banking reviews or financing needs.
Your CFO (or alternatively your CEO) should acts as 'gateway to the company' for your bank(s). Where banks have specific areas they wish to discuss, the CFO should always try to arrange meetings with the appropriate people within the company.
It should be an unwritten rule in your company that any response to banks, particularly your major relationship bank(s), must be prompt, even if it is a 'no thank you’.
Commentators have stressed the importance of being open with information in a banking relationship - the 'no surprises' policy. This should be two sided. Good business relationships imply trust and trust develops when two parties respect and get on with each other.

The story of how Greg and Sam Elam got to the mission field of Nicaragua is a story of testing, striving, perseverance, and God’s miraculous provision.
Greg originally came to Nicaragua on a mission’s trip in ’99. He returned to the states shaken to the core by the poverty and desperate needs of the Nicaraguan people that he had encountered. Greg immediately began sending monthly donations through a mission’s organization that organized feeding centers across Nicaragua.
Seven years later, almost to the day (Feb 2006), Greg returned to Nicaragua on a business exploration with several other business persons researching property investments and development. He was again stirred in his spirit the moment his feet stepped off the plane onto Nicaraguan soil. He knew God was doing something special in him in Nicaragua. In the next few months, he would return to Nicaragua a few more times. With each visit Greg became more and more captivated and excited about the various opportunities for business and ministry in Nicaragua.
Greg decided to help a friend with a condominium project on the beach. Additionally with the involvement of a few others they opened a millwork factory. The factory was equipped to produce all the wood products (cabinets, shelving, doors, furniture, etc) for several condominium projects along the beach. Both business ventures (the condominium project and the millwork factory) would be dependent on the sales of the condominiums which would fund the construction of the projects. It was exciting to be able to teach and train people in a trade where they would be able to generate income. One thing for sure, Nicaraguans lack training and education opportunities in even the simplest of vocations.
Greg’s original plan was to commute back and forth from Atlanta to Nicaragua as the business ventures were formed and developed. It was exciting to think of the jobs and opportunities that the business ventures would offer to many Nicaraguans. Some of the biggest contributions to the poverty of this country are the lack of businesses and jobs.
After much prayer and seeking counsel from faith believing Christians including family and friends, Greg and Sam decided that the commuting life style was not what they were looking for. The family being separated for long and regular periods of time did not seem like God’s best for their family. They decided that they would sell all that they had and move to Nicaragua.
At this time Greg and Sam were living the American dream. They had a new dream home on 14 beautiful acres north of Atlanta, a cute little farm house, and a lake lot. Sam was the Risk Control Services Manager for Lockton Insurance Brokers (Atlanta office) and Greg had a small construction and remodeling company. They both made great money, had comfortable savings, and good looking 401k’s ! Tiffany was going to a private Christian school. They were surrounded by family, friends, and an awesome church they had attended and served in for 14 years! But they could feel God loosening their ‘grip’ on all these things that they cherished as God prepared to transition them to Nicaragua!
$2.2 million). The Elam’s knew that by selling their properties they would be self sufficient and sustained in Nicaragua for a long time- no worries! Their dreams and hopes of all that they could do in Nicaragua would be accomplished…..when their properties sold!
vehicles, paying cash for both.
By the middle of 2008, rumors of a world-wide property market crash began to hit the news and business chronicles. Greg and Sam knew that their God was in no way subject to this world’s economy and they held fast to their faith pushing forward with their plans and transitioning to life in Nicaragua.
Time was passing fast and none of their properties had sold. They had no money coming in and their new life required a lot of money to sustain the properties that they still had and to attempt to create businesses in Nicaragua. The weight of the situation began to weigh on them physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. They saw no way out and had no solutions. After a year and half in Nicaragua, the Elam’s could almost feel the noose tightening. No answers to their prayers. What appeared to be no results from their fasting. Every day was a new day to encourage each other and believe that God would move, that day!
The recession would quickly affect economies all over the world and Nicaragua was no exception. The Elam’s liquidated everything they had to provide the necessities of life and to maintain their various properties state side. They sought to honor God and loan commitments and told God as long as He would provide they would do everything in their power to pay their debts. After 1 ½ years of struggling to maintain their life in Nicaragua and debts stateside the reality came crashing down, to continue to eat and drive in Nicaragua, they could not continue to pay their debts stateside.
The property crash of 2008 quickly affected those people willing to invest in international property and sales of the condominiums were scarce. Because the sale of condominiums was so slow, construction of the three beach developments tied to the millworks company did not provide the guaranteed customer base that the factory was built for. Additionally, Greg realized many hurdles in trying to manage employees, market the millworks products, and handle the expense demands in a culture he didn’t know, with a language he struggled to navigate, and little consistent cash flow. The partners decided to close down the millwork factory which meant that the Elam’s would lose close to $100,000 investment there and the hope of future income from the factory.
As of Resurrection Day (Easter) 2009, the Elam’s were jobless, almost penniless and totally leaning on God for every breath. Everything that Greg and Sam had come to Nicaragua to do had come to an abrupt halt. They sought God for answers, strength, hope and provision! Deut 4 says to love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength! The Elam’s never knew that it would in fact take all their strength to ward off fear, hopelessness, doubt, offense and bitterness!!! Sam comforted by very specific dreams God gave her to prepare them for this huge event, looked at Greg Easter evening and said, “Go God!!!” God does not close these kinds of doors without opening others. They continued to pray and seek God.
Over the next weeks, God sent amazing missionaries and friends to sit with, pray with, and share their personal stories of transitioning to Nicaragua. Surrounded by so much encouragement and such a deep sense of peace, the Elam’s forged ahead to hear from God! The Elam’s also realized, as other missionaries that have gone before them will testify to as well, (and let it be a warning of encouragement), when you head to the mission field, Satan will lead a full on assault against your plans and all you put your hand to! And just like when the Israelites came out of Egypt, God allows our trials, to get the ‘old’ out of us and prepare us for the new, richer, deeper walk that is necessary for a successful life in the ‘promised land’!
After much prayer and seeking God, we knew that God was saying stay in Nicaragua. We knew that God had used all the plans of business and investment potential in Nicaragua to get us here and now we were free to do His work, full time!
While God had shut down everything the Elam’s thought they were coming to Nicaragua to do, they still were stirred in their soul to stay, serve God, to walk this new life of complete faith He had orchestrated. Through the difficulties, one thing was sure, they were ‘charged’ in their spirit to stay and see what God would do now! Convinced that even though the past two years had been difficult, they knew that they had grown in their spirit and knew that God needed Sam, Greg and Tiffany in Nicaragua!
Sam immediately went to work for Nicaragua Christian Academy teaching a variety of Bible and art classes. They had already been involved with the youth group for the International Christian Fellowship (ICF) so they were in a position to increase their commitment there. Since beginning on this new pathway, it was miraculous how God met their needs. God financially sustained us through the generosity of family, friends, a few churches, odd jobs, and Sam’s teaching position. But the real story is the sense of purpose and fulfillment that the Elam’s knew with each and every day of serving God and the people He had put in our sphere of influence. God miraculously gave us such favor on the NCA campus. There was bond of love between us and the students that only God could allow and create.
In August of 2010, the Director of NCA asked us to revitalize the student street ministry called Ignite. God had already told us that it was time to get “dirtier.” We knew this was what God had already put on our heart and we determined to reach out into the poor communities around Managua and love who ever God brought our way. It was exciting to open the eyes of our students to how God would use each of them if they would only be available. We went to poor communities to pray, play, serve, and bless with food, clothes, glasses, and fun!
Through many God ordained events, we have been connected with several churches that have seen the need and responded to God’s prompting to help the work in Nicaragua. Those churches include Grace Family Church in Tampa, Countryside Christian, Journey Church (Franklin, TN), and others. Greg still helps Pastor Dale Brooks (DBI Ministries) lead teams to Nicaragua several times a year.
"Job is declared by God Himself to be blameless and upright, and yet he is tried, not because of his unrighteousness but in spirit of his righteousness. His trial was to establish his righteousness, as well as to give him deeper insight into his relationship with God and a greater understanding of his own nature. While Satan’s goal was to prove Job to be a sinner; God’s goal was to establish forever the sincerity of Job’s faith. God does not allow trials to see if we will fail. He allows trials to strengthen our faith. The trial is, in fact, a statement of God’s faith in our faithfulness and integrity."
I pray that our story has touched your heart and encouraged you. I pray that no matter what you are going through, you know that you know that God is with you, leading you, and allowing you to walk through, perhaps, dark places, only so that you will know His love greater! Yes, yeah though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death (a time of stress, grief, sickness, hopelessness and worry), I will fear no evil; For God is with me His rod and staff, they comfort me! (Psalm 23).
Isaiah 55: 1-8- For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord! No matter what you are going through, you are not alone. Please contact us with your comments and prayer request. It is our honor to stand with you and believe for a break through and that you will know that you know that God is there to lead you through whatever you are going through!! We are over comers! We are more than conquerors through Him.
Through all these events in our lives we have had the honor of being part of God changing lives, families, communities. The beauty of joining forces with God is that the change is positive, permanent, and generational. Our slogan disciplining a generation to change a nation. We believe that God has the power to change. We know that we are responsible for those God puts in our sphere of influence and then the Holy Spirit will continue to move from there.
Our goal and current focus has been to continue to raise awareness for the need of clean water in the poor communities outside Managua. By providing clean water, life is given. And by partnering with the communities for various needs education, training, Bible Studies and fun, you get to see first -hand dreams come true. To date we have worked in five poor communities in and around Los Cedros, Villa El Carmen area. In partnering with Pastor Fernando of Los Cedros we have been able to support pastors in each of these communities. In some case we have supplied teaching, provisions, land purchases, and always love! In four of the five we have been part of installing deep clean water wells. One of the communities, San Jeronimo, took it upon themselves to run plumbing from the deep clean well to a nearby school. By doing so, you see the communities organize and raise funds to provide this life giving clean water to the students in the community! How beautiful!
4. Chinandega – Purchase property, Put up roof structure for church, Install well, Construct Kitchen, Construct Bathrooms, Concrete Floor in church.
Additionally, we would like to continue to support three children in NCA for the 2016-2017 school year, and continue to meet nutritional needs of families as they are presented.
Would also like to continue to identify homes that need roofs or help with reconstruction.

Lovran is one of the most appealing tourist places on the Riviera in Opatija, not only because of the long tourist tradition but because of its rich history and ambient that appeals a lot of visitors during the year. Lovran is mentioned already in the 7th century. It cherishes since then a special tradition. Lovran is the oldest Liburnian place and during the time it was mentioned under the name Lauriano. It got its name after the plant lorel (laurus nobilis) that grows in Lovran and in the neighborhood. Lovran is the oldest place in the area, that hasn’t lost its historical background and urban look. In time some houses people started to build houses on the remains of the ancient bulwarks.
At the time the government is planning on making a cable ropeway from a place near Lovran, Medveja, to the mountain Učka. That project has been approved in 2009, but still no work has been made. The plan is to start with the constructions in year 2012.
Lovran hides a lot of sights inside the city. Special parts of this urban look are the decorated stairs and porches. This place gives this beautiful city a special flair and the people are pleased to be here.
Some magnificent buildings in Lovran witness of a glamorous history and great building experts. In Lovrans hinterland you can find a whole rural tourism connected with chestnuts, cherries and asparagus. Lovran is very famous for this mentioned nature.
In the city center you can visit some beautiful buildings from the 13th and 14th century. Just some could be saved during the time. The city door “Stubica” in the east is still in one peace just like the chapel of the holy Trinity built in the 13th century.
Some villas built in this area are considered to be a part of the world’s architectural heritage. Many visitors admire the architecture in Lovran upon arrival.
Lovran is an important place for this area being the oldest coastal city, but no founding witnesses of having any antic or prehistoric background. In the middle of the 6th century this place belongs to the Byzantium. In the 9th century the Croatian noblemen had the title dux Liburniae.
In the 16th and 17th century Lovran was the main port for supplies. Already in the 17th and 18th century Lovran becomes a city of fishermen, captains and boat owners. The connection with Dalmatia, the island Pag, Venice and Ancona at the time is getting stronger. The hotels and bed and breakfasts are built near the road to Rijeka in the 19th and 20th century. At the same place some private homes with glamorous gardens were made. The whole place is ideal for resting and relaxing.
The place Medveja got its name from the ancient character Medea. After a legend about Medea and the Argonauts, Medea and Jason traveled through this area while returning from the Black Sea. Later even Odyssey traveled through during his traveling. The underground streams are after the legend Medeas tears flowing into the sea.
There is a lot one can do near the sea in Lovran. In the summer all restaurants and cafe's are open and waiting for visitors to come. But some manifestations are really special in this area. The asparagus festival is one of them. The locals are celebrating it in April. Another manifestation is the “Ex tempore” a painting event in May. The cherry event is in June and the festival of the chestnut is in October, but it is being held in Dobreč and Liganj, places near Lovran. No visitor can get bored in Lovran, because it offers every year something interesting near the accommodations they are staying.
Lovran offers a lot of nightlife possibilities. This aspect is important for youngsters above all. Nightclubs and café’s offer amusing contents during the whole year. Additional manifestations are just a supplement to this one. An interesting manifestation is one very that is very common in cities neat the coast. And that are fishermen parties that offer amusement to visitors but to the local population as well.
Just a few miles from Lovran you can enjoy the nightlife in Opatija. It offers a greater choice of nightclubs and café’s. So if you decide to visit Lovran you absolutely have to visit Opatija as well.

More accurate than Lundardi? At least that is their claim. They have the Zags as a 5 seed in Spokane, along with UAb, Temple, and Mississippi State.
Would love to see them stay there, makes those losses look a little better.
Would sure be nice if St Marys (46) can stay in the top 50 and still lose to us in the conference championship game and also if cincy (56), memphis (61), or illinois (71) can somehow go on a run to end the season and finish in the top 50 as well.
Equally important - Wake Forest and Wisconsin need to keep winning and hold their Top 25 positions. It would be nice to see Oklahoma creep back into the Top 100.

Much thanks to thedivinegoat, I'm trying out liz_marcs on Dreamwidth.
I played a little bit with it, but already I love the set up, i.e., the use of "subscribe" to follow someone and "grant access to" to allow people to read locked entries...dropping the use of "friends" I think will kill a lot of drama.
Plus, the use of OpenID to create a "reading list" without actually having to be a member...it's a way to be OpenSource while controlling growth of actual content providers. That is a marvelous way to open up the possibilities for what I think is LJ's strongest suit: The Friends' List (called "The Reading List" on Dreamwidth).
I haven't played with it a whole lot, and I won't get much of a chance until tonight...but I'm looking forward to trying the important tool (it'll pull over everything...including comments).
I want more information about what getting a paid account actually does for you over there (a seed account is way above my pay grade at the moment...what with me owing taxes, my car, and kayaking season fast approaching) and I might kick some dollars into the kitty to try out the differing account levels.
So far, I like the interface and the way things have been relabeled. The relabeling was actually a surprisingly pleasing thing for me. I've always said that the "friends" nomenclature didn't much bother me on LJ, but the nomenclature on Dreamwidth (I think) really does work better for me.

You may hear cardiologists say "time is muscle" - and it really is - the sooner treatment is started the better the chance of limiting damage. Treatment will depend on patient circumstances, the type of SCAD event and the severity of the symptoms.

The very first sketches of Muller were made about four years ago. In the process they changed to the point where they had nothing in common with the original idea. As it is with most work we do, when we seek perfection, changes are inevitable.
It is specifically designed with a wider structure for better appearance in small sizes and the extra attention to the detail was needed for the big sizes. We managed to find the right balance for the perfect universal font family.
The family consists of 20 weights, raging from Thin to Heavy with matching Italics. This font family is suited for everything, raging from advertising, packaging, editorial and branding, to web and screen projects.
Muller comes with a complete range of figure options, including proportional and old style figures, each in its tabular version.
It also includes advanced typographic features such as ligatures, fractions, alternate characters, case-sensitive forms, superscripts and subscripts.

Sometimes we build prototypes and wait for community feedback. Let us know if you'd like to see this project progress by following it or telling us on the Make4 Subreddit.
The Make4 Sim Racing Cockpit is an open-source, fully adjustable, and easy to build yourself (DIY) racing simulator. This project can be made for around $75 without the racing seat. We used a $100 racing seat we found online; however, you can use something as simple as an old office chair.
Racing simulators, wheels and cockpits have been around for a long time. What sparked our interest was immersion possible with the recent release of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift VR headsets. After using this simulator in VR, we could never go back to a screen-based experience.
What was our initial goal?
We wanted an affordable, fully adjustable, and most importantly an extremely sturdy racing cockpit. Most of the affordable options on the market work well, but in our experience, always felt somewhat unstable. They seem to be prone to twisting, rattles, and other subtle reminders that your not actually in a real car. Virtual Reality seems to amplify these small annoyances.
What's the future of this project?
We've acheived our initial goal with the first prototype. We're waiting to hear form the community before we move to an official release. An official release will provide (for free) 3D cad models, technical drawings, build instructions, materials list, and step-by-step build instruction. We don't release this supporting documentation with a prototype because it is often more time consuming to create it than the initial prototype itself. If you want to see this project release either follow it or let us know on reddit.
We launched the project page for the Make4 Sim Racing Cockpit today. Follow this project to receive updates.

Should the US government break up Google?
As Google expands its market dominance in search and digital advertising, regulators have grown increasingly concerned about its ability to stifle competition. Last year, the European Commission fined Google a record $2.7 billion for giving its own comparison-shopping service an illegal advantage. In the US, a bipartisan assortment of state attorneys general have urged the F.T.C. to reopen an investigation into the tech giant. Critics argue that Google is benefiting consumers, and that the market can regulate itself.

As the rate of breast cancer continue to rise, and with modern advances in the treatment for breast cancer, more women are surviving the disease than ever before, many after having undergone a mastectomy (surgical removal of the breasts). Today’s advances in microsurgical breast reconstruction and implant technology gives women who feel incomplete after loosing one or both breasts through treatment for breast cancer a chance to regain diginity, self-esteem, and femininity. Breast reconstruction can be performed immediately after mastectomy (immediate reconstruction), or in stages (delayed reconstruction). Many factors play a role in determining which type of breast reconstruction best suits a particular patient, including the patient’s body type, her goals and expectations, and the need for radiotherapy treatment.
Welcome to Dr Ray Goh’s Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery practice. Dr Goh and his staff are committed to delivering professional and personalized care in a relaxed setting. We understand that the decision to embark upon plastic and cosmetic surgery can be a major and life-changing undertaking.

The Starr Cards team first came together at Stanford University in 1999 to form PocketSensei. The company was founded around a simple idea: develop software tools to make handheld computing devices more useful, and a whole lot more stylish. To this end we assembled some of the planet’s brightest designers, software engineers and artists.
Over the years, our groundbreaking work has been featured in a host of leading publications including The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, The Guardian, Smart Money, Wired, Library Journal, ZDNet, NewMedia, CNet, The Economic Times, Pen Computing, TapWeekly, Handheld Computing, PalmUser, Palm for Dummies, and Byte Online.
PocketSensei’s first product, SilverScreen, won NewMedia’s coveted InVision award, and went on to become the all-time bestselling application for the Palm OS. The innovative application launcher pioneered a number of now widely used GUI paradigms including the use of a pop-up toolbar and drag-and-drop functionality on a handheld.
Our team also brought the Oxford Dictionary, Columbia Encyclopedia, and VideoHound movie directory to the handheld platform—each garnering the highest accolades in their respective categories.
Now at the ripe old age of ten, we may have updated our name to Great Appaloosa, but our commitment remains the same: deliver vanguard apps that embody the fusion of form and function, substance and style.
Our flagship product line under our new banner is the innovative Starr Cards line of apps that allow users to easily produce the highest-quality, pro-style trading cards directly on the iPhone. Our very first release (Starr Cards Baseball Card Maker) was featured by Apple and shot to the top of the sports charts in the iTunes App Store.

Clients of Nielsen Media Research often point to deficiencies in the ratings company’s services. Advertisers and agencies complain of their inability to get commercial ratings. Broadcasters complain that Nielsen undercounts their audiences with the new local People Meter system.
Everybody complains that Nielsen is slow to respond to issues, largely because it is a monopoly. But despite all the complaints, there is no consensus, for now, that regulatory oversight of Nielsen would make the situation any better. In fact, it’s just the opposite, according to some industry executives reacting to last week’s Senate hearing on a proposal to require Nielsen to get Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for any new ratings service before going to market. Currently an industry group, the MRC would be given legal authority under the proposal.
“Nielsen has a lot of things to fix, and if the government gets involved, they’re not going to make progress on anything,” said a source at a top-10 media agency.
Kathy Crawford, president, local broadcast, MindShare, testified against the proposed bill. She said Nielsen is not perfect, but the MRC is stacked in favor of broadcasters. Broadcasters are divided on the issue. Some, such as Fox and Tribune, favor government oversight; others, such as CBS, agree that self-regulation is the better remedy.
David Poltrack, evp, research and planning, CBS, said he was heartened last week by Nielsen’s commitment to voluntarily submitting new ratings services to the MRC auditing process before taking them public. “That’s preferable to government intervention,” he said.

just been experimenting with custom liveries and it appears you can only have 1 at a time why cant we have more?
For the moment no, just one custom livrerie... Maybe with an update, but I think it's a dream.
It was only not expanded for Release because of the Time was running out..
Is possible we can have 56 custom liveries per car?
You can have only one custom livery per car.
Guys it's our download database. Don't discuss here please. This (http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?21872-Show-Off-Your-Custom-Paints-Here-(WIP-finished-etc)-RULES!-read-the-first-post) is a right place.
custom liveries for mclaren ?? where?
What I don't understand is why AC is able to paint custom liveries and pCars isn't.
If SMS does not provide a PSD template file it's either (a) still in development or (b) restricted by license conditions. At least I've not seen a (c) yet.
Moved to main Painting forum.
Unfortunately it is. No custom liveries for McLaren cars (and some other cars too) allowed due to licensing restrictions.
Most of the old WMD users don't understand it either - but it's a stipulation with the license agreement so we have to respect it. McLaren have their reasons for it (whatever they may be) so this is just how it is.

I guess one thing that always bothers me about the new, more militant religious conservative Christians, is their complete failure to grasp the message that the person they claim to follow was really trying to teach his followers. Not once, as far as I can remember, did Jesus ever stop and ask somebody what religion they followed before he offered to help them. And considering the fact that he started off with only 12 guys who could even be considered his followers, that pretty much means that everybody he helped was a non-Christian. I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but the way he got new followers was to show them compassion and love regardless of what they believed. Maybe that was the whole idea of his teachings. To show so much compassion and love to other people that they became intrigued by him and ended up wanting to be more like him. And then there is the whole ‘turn the other cheek’ message which seems to get overlooked in the rush to find more judgmental biblical quotes to use to tell everybody else how evil they are.
And when you get right down to it, the only people Jesus ever got so mad at that he threw a hissy fit and ended up flipping over tables was a bunch of rich money lenders… or what we today would call bankers… something else to think about… if you are into that whole ‘thinking’ thing.
I was raised Episcopalian, and, although I am now pretty much completely nonreligious, I have read the bible… which is more than a lot of too-religious people can say.
This entry was posted in thinking about stuff and tagged christmas, jesus, religion. Bookmark the permalink.
I am into that thinking thing. So much so that I never got into believing thing at all.
I had to work my way into thinking.
Hi ya chap it’s been a while. I like the message in here and I’m with you in Jesus love and care. There were no sexuality, intelligence or purity bars. He helped those who needed.
I am known for my wide thinking… HA!
I am aware of this, it’s a rare and valuable gift!
Sorry… I was poking fun at you for a typo… unless you really mean I have wide thinking, in which case that is a singular honor, and I will take it over wise thinking.

Lee Spring’s Stock line of Battery Springs are conical springs that are perfect for prototype and small run production, as well as larger runs. These economical and reliable battery contacts are ideal for molded cases with self-contained battery compartments. Our battery contacts have been designed to adjust to varying battery lengths and provide low contact resistance and dependable connections. Each of the four battery contact configurations are designed to work with the four most popular battery sizes: AA, AAA, C and D. They are offered in a choice of two materials, nickel coated music wire or silver coated beryllium copper. If our Stock product designs do not meet your requirements, we can provide Custom designs for battery springs, fourslide part contacts or stampings.
Nickel Coated Music Wire: Since most alkaline batteries have nickel plated containers, a nickel coating for the metal contacts is suitable. The use of similar materials removes the possibility of galvanic corrosion and aids in wear resistance. Nickel will also tend to wipe and aid in breaking down the oxide that can form on the battery metal contact surface. In addition, a nickel coating will provide general corrosion resistance and is an excellent conductor of electricity.
Silver Coated Beryllium Copper: Beryllium Copper is among the hardest, strongest and most wear-resistant of copper alloys. Silver coating further enhances electrical and thermal conductivity. The electric conductivity is 65-70% that of copper; the strength and fatigue resistance are comparable to higher beryllium alloys. The light silver plating allows for easy soldering. Beryllium copper is corrosion resistant in various environments and is both non-magnetic and non-sparking.

Recently, it has been reported that Sanjay Dutt quit from the upcoming film Total Dhamaal due to unavailability of dates as well as his issue with the film’s adult comedy. Now, the one who is expected to essay the main lead is none other than Ajay Devgn. As per the latest report, the Shivaay actor has roped in to play the lead in the third installment of the Dhamaal franchise.
This is not the first time Ajay and Indra are collaborating for any film, they have earlier worked in films like Ishq and Masti.
Talking about Devgn’s third outing with Kumar, a source close to him said that Ajay is glad to reunite for the upcoming comedy. The full and final cast of the film has not been revealed yet, but it is being said that apart from Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh will definitely be seen in the film.
The third installment, Total Dhamaal, was expected to roll out this year, but the fact that Sanjay is unavailable has caused the film some delay.
On the work front, Ajay was last seen in his directorial Shivaay. Apart from Total Dhamaal, he also has films like Baadshaho and Golmaal Again in his kitty.

There is a need to identify an inexpensive, effective method to prevent postoperative adhesion formation. The objective of this study was to create a novel model for studying omentum as a pelvic adhesion barrier.
Randomized, prospective, controlled surgical intervention with serial follow-up in 16 female rabbits at a University-based Center for Comparative Medicine. Interventions included bilateral hysterotomy incision and repair. The left hysterotomy was randomized into coverage with an omental flap or graft; the right hysterotomy remained uncovered. Adhesions were scored via laparoscopy on postoperative days 2, 4, 8, and 12; postmortem evaluation and scoring took place on postoperative day 16. Statistical tests consisted of Kappa tests of agreement between adhesion scorers and Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric tests for the comparison of adhesion scores by intervention arm and by uterine horn.
All omental flaps and grafts survived. The only significant difference in mean adhesion scores was seen in non-hysterotomy-associated adhesions, where grafts had a lower score than flaps (p = 0.03).
Survival of all omental flaps and grafts demonstrates that this is a practical model for studying omentum as a pelvic adhesion barrier. Determining the efficacy of omentum as a pelvic adhesion barrier will require further investigation.
Every experienced surgeon has encountered adhesions in the operating room. Adhesions vary histologically and may be filmy, dense, vascular or avascular. The presence of adhesions intraoperatively often mandates extensive adhesiolysis for completion of many obstetric and gynecologic procedures. Furthermore, adhesions are a significant cause of morbidity including infertility, chronic pain, and bowel obstruction. Significant data have been published with regard to the use of various methods of adhesion prevention, including peritoneal infusions and synthetic adhesion barriers. These data have demonstrated variable success in reducing adhesion formation, and many of these methodologies are associated with significant financial costs. Therefore, there is still a need to identify an inexpensive, effective method to prevent adhesion formation.
Omentum is an intra-abdominal fold of visceral peritoneum that is easily accessible during pelvic surgery and has the potential to be an excellent barrier to prevent adhesions . Omental tissue has already been successfully used in thoracic , oncologic [3–7], vascular [2, 8], general [9, 10], and reconstructive surgery . Its unique characteristics include high concentrations of thromboplastin for hemostasis [2, 11] and a trophic effect on surrounding tissues, allowing a free graft to survive in the peritoneal cavity. The omentum also possesses extensive vascularity and is capable of rapid angiogenesis and capillary ingrowth [12, 13]. Moreover, affixing omentum to denuded surfaces of canine bowel and bladder has been shown to prevent scarring and adhesion formation .
Free omental grafts have been useful also as vascular patches in animals . When utilized for this purpose, they do not retain their native vascular supply after transposition but have been observed to establish vascular communications with pericardium and various peritoneal structures by quickly invading pleural and serosal surfaces . Graft size is important, though; studies have shown marked necrosis of larger grafts and minimal necrosis of thin grafts in canines after four days . Pedicled omental flaps do maintain their blood supply, thus decreasing the potential for ischemic necrosis. In humans, flaps have even been used to cover and strengthen intestinal and colonic anastomoses [14, 16], in breast reconstruction [9, 10], and to reduce complications after pelvic lymphadenectomy . Yet the use of omentum in gynecologic, specifically uterine, surgery has not been well-investigated. Therefore, the primary purpose of this pilot study was to develop an animal model that can be used to study the utility of the omentum in pelvic surgery. Secondarily, we wanted to investigate the effectiveness of two different omentum-derived adhesion barriers, an autologous free omental graft and a pedicled omental flap, in the prevention of postoperative adhesions.
This was a randomized, prospective, controlled surgical intervention with serial follow-up conducted at a University-based Center for Comparative Medicine. Based on an established animal model , we obtained sixteen sexually mature New Zealand white rabbits weighing 4-5 kg from a commercial source (Burleson Enterprises, Inc., Unionville, Virginia). The rabbits were observed for six days to allow for acclimation and assessment of health. The animals were maintained on a Teklad Global 2031 high-fiber rabbit diet (Harlan, Madison, Wisconsin) and water ad libitum. Approval for the study was obtained from the Animal Care and Use Committee and the Institutional Review Board at the University of Virginia Health System (Protocol #3781).
Each rabbit underwent adhesion induction surgery, the day of which was denoted as postoperative day 0. A 5 cm vertical midline infraumbilical incision was made through epidermis, subcutaneous and mammary tissue, fascia, rectus muscle and peritoneum until the peritoneal cavity was entered. The uterus was then identified and exteriorized. Electrocautery was used to make a 3 cm incision in both uterine horns, and each hysterotomy was repaired with 2–0 Vicryl suture (Ethicon Inc., Cornelia, Georgia) in a baseball stitch (Figure 1A). The right uterine horn served as the control in every rabbit. Thus, there was no omental covering over the right hysterotomy site, and it was returned to the abdomen immediately after repair of the hysterotomy. The left uterine horn in each rabbit was randomized into one of two intervention groups: coverage with an autologous free omental graft or with a pedicled omental flap. The omentum was gently pulled down from the upper abdomen and exteriorized. Then, using electrocautery, an approximately 2 cm incision was made from the right omental edge toward the midline only crossing one major artery to include adequate vasculature in the flap (Figure 1B). After the initial incision was made, the flap was rotated and sutured over the hysterotomy with seven interrupted stitches of 4–0 Monocryl (Ethicon) in a fashion that adequately covered the hysterotomy without creating tension on the omentum (Figure 1C). For the free omental graft, electrocautery was used across the inferior edge of the omentum to create an approximately 2 cm x 0.5 cm unattached piece of omentum; then this graft was placed over the hysterotomy and secured with seven interrupted stitches using 4–0 Monocryl (Figure 1D). The intervention horn was then returned to the pelvis. The hysterotomy and its repair as well as the creation and attachment to the uterus of both flaps and grafts was performed by the same surgeon (APB). We ensured that there was no tension on horns with flaps prior to closure. The fascia and rectus muscle were reapproximated in a running full-thickness stitch using 2–0 Vicryl suture. The skin was closed with 4–0 Vicryl suture with a running subcuticular stitch, and the knot was buried.

Every rabbit was randomly assigned a unique numerical identifier, which was used to distinguish each animal throughout the study. For the adhesion induction and scoring surgeries, the investigators were blinded to each rabbit’s identity and intervention group.
The rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, A and B, both of which underwent identical adhesion induction surgeries; half of each group had flaps, and half had grafts. Group A underwent look-back laparoscopy on postoperative days 2 and 8, while Group B underwent look-back procedures on postoperative days 4 and 12. This system was created to minimize the number of surgeries for each rabbit. Laparoscopies were performed using a 10 mm scope (Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) via a single 12 mm supraumbilical (on the first laparoscopy) or left upper quadrant port (on the second laparoscopy) placed using an open technique. Laparoscopy was selected for look-back procedures to reduce the risk for additional adhesion formation from the look-back procedure itself . Separate sites were used for the first and second laparoscopies in each animal to avoid damage to internal structures that might be adherent to the first laparoscopic site, a technique used in humans. A pneumoperitoneum was created using CO2 gas at 2 L/min flow until an intraabdominal pressure of 5-6 mmHg was obtained. Trendelenburg positioning allowed for easy viewing of each uterine horn and hysterotomy site. Adhesions were scored using a modified version of the system designed by Fiedler et al.  (Table 1) without including the tenacity scale in order to avoid adhesiolysis during the look-back surgeries. Scoring was done independently by two or three present surgeons (APB, AKS, DWS), and images were captured for scoring by the third surgeon when not present so that all animals had three adhesion scores averaged to determine the mean visual adhesion score.
All surgeries were performed under sterile conditions after shaving and prepping the animals. Anesthesia consisted of ketamine 50 mg/kg (100 mg/mL; Fort Dodge Animal Health, Fort Dodge, Iowa) and xylazine 5 mg/kg (20 mg/mL; Butler Schein Animal Health, Dublin, Ohio) administered intramuscularly. Rabbits were masked with 100% oxygen during the procedure and monitored for hyperventilation and hypoxia. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane to effect. Each rabbit received antibiotic prophylaxis consisting of 22.7 mg of enrofloxacin (Bayer, Shawnee Mission, Kansas) prior to and two days after each surgery for infection prophylaxis. Rabbits were also given 0.05 mg/kg buprenorphine subcutaneously before surgery, two hours post-surgery, and twice daily for two days post-surgery to provide adequate analgesia. During look-back procedures, rabbits were given the same dosage of buprenorphine before and after the procedure along with morning and evening doses on postoperative day one. At the conclusion of each surgery, all incision sites were infiltrated with 1 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine for sustained analgesia.
On postoperative day 16, rabbits were anesthetized with 2 mL ketamine (100 mg/mL) and 1 mL xylazine (20 mg/mL) intramuscularly, and then euthanized using 1 mL of 390 mg/mL pentobarbital sodium (Virbac AH Inc., Fort Worth, Texas) by intravenous or intracardiac injection. Postmortem laparotomy and thorough inspection of the abdominal and pelvic organs for adhesion formation was performed. Again, adhesions were scored using the system designed by Fiedler et al.  (Table 1), this time additionally utilizing the tenacity scale (Table 2). As before, scoring was done independently by the two or three present surgeons, and images were captured for scoring by the third surgeon when not present. All scores were averaged together to create a mean visual adhesion score and mean tenacity score.
Statistical tests consisted of Kappa tests of agreement between adhesion scorers and Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric tests for the comparison of adhesion scores by intervention arm and by uterine horn. The statistical analysis used an alpha level of 0.05, and all analyses were conducted with SAS 9.1.3 (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina).
At the time of each laparoscopic look-back and at the postmortem evaluation, all flaps and grafts were noted to survive based on appearance. All flaps and grafts appeared well vascularized without discoloration or concern for tissue ischemia or necrosis. All sixteen rabbits survived every surgery, and there were very few complications. Postoperatively, one rabbit was given a single dose of 10 mg ketoprofen subcutaneously to treat additional postoperative pain, the experience of which was determined by direct observation of the rabbit. Interestingly, this rabbit had a right uterine horn that was found at the initial hysterotomy procedure to be filled with a milky fluid, but the subject remained afebrile throughout the acclimation and experimental periods. Also postoperatively, another rabbit had a ventral hernia with an associated seroma requiring a repair and look-back via laparotomy instead of laparoscopy. The data from this rabbit were discarded secondary to our concern that the adhesion formation process was compromised by the hernia and repair.
For the rabbits with omental flaps, the mean adhesion score for the right (control) uterine horn was 0.38 (sd 1.0, range 0–2.67) versus 0 (sd 0, range 0–0) in the left (intervention) horn, which was not statistically different (p = 0.32). For the rabbits with free omental grafts, the mean adhesion score for the control uterine horn was 1.33 (sd 2.0, range 0–5) versus 0.6 (sd 1.2, range 0–3) for the intervention uterine horn, which also was not statistically different (p = 1.00). There was no statistical difference between the adhesion scores of the flap and graft control horns (p = 0.26, Kruskal-Wallis test). There was no statistical difference between the adhesion scores of the flap and graft intervention horns (p = 0.17) (Figure 2). The absolute difference between the horns (average control uterine horn adhesion score minus average intervention uterine horn adhesion score) did not differ when comparing the flap group to the graft group on any postoperative day: 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16.
Visual adhesion scores. Visual adhesion scores by location and intervention at postmortem evaluation.
Relative to non-horn-associated adhesions in the abdomen, the rabbits with free omental grafts had no adhesions, while the rabbits with omental flaps had a mean abdominal adhesion score of 1.38 (sd 2.36, range 0–5). This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.03, Kruskal-Wallis) (Figure 2).
There were eight adhesions in six of the rabbits. The tenacity scores are graphed in Figure 3 by adhesion location (intervention horn, control horn, or non-horn-associated adhesion) and intervention group (flap or graft) for each adhesion. The mean tenacity score of the adhesions with omental flaps was 3.0 (sd 0, range 3–3) versus 2.2 with free omental grafts (sd 0.8, range 1–3); this was not statistically different (p = 0.12).
Tenacity scores. Tenacity scores of each adhesion by location and intervention at postmortem evaluation.
The agreement between the three adhesion scorers was at least “substantial” and “almost perfect” between two of the observers . The kappa score ranged from 0.70 (95% CI 0.41–0.99) to 1.0 (95% CI 1.0–1.0) for the right uterine horn and was 1.0 (95% CI 1.0–1.0) for the left uterine horn.
The primary purpose of this pilot study was to test an animal model for the study of the omentum in pelvic adhesion prevention. We anticipated that the omental interventions might undergo necrosis and form severe adhesions, grafts more so than flaps due to absence of native blood supply. On the contrary, all omental grafts and flaps survived; therefore, this is a practical model for the study of omentum in pelvic adhesion prevention.
The secondary objective of this investigation was to compare autologous free omental grafts to pedicled omental flaps. There was no significant difference in adhesion scores between intervention and control horns or between flap and graft subjects at the hysterotomy site. There was also no significant difference in average tenacity scores of all adhesions in subjects with flaps versus those with grafts. As this was a pilot study, it was not powered to detect small differences between groups. Yet, we did see significantly fewer non-horn-associated adhesions in rabbits with free omental grafts versus those with omental flaps. If this decrease in general abdominal adhesions were to hold true in women, it would be equally as important since both fertility and operative abdominal entry can be affected by adhesions not directly attached to the uterus.
We did see a large variation in adhesion formation in the control group. This could likely be corrected if the adhesion induction surgery was performed via laparoscopy to decrease adhesions that form due to the laparotomy instead of solely from the hysterotomy.
With few rabbits forming adhesions, we are not able to say that the intervention was beneficial; but this pilot study provides a novel model with which to study the role of the omentum in pelvic adhesion prevention. The strengths of this study include its prospective nature and randomization of rabbits into intervention group. Also, the method used for hysterotomy creation mimics the procedure utilized for cesarean section hysterotomy and abdominal myomectomy, common gynecologic procedures that are known to induce adhesions. Furthermore, we had blinded adhesion scorers, used a previously validated scoring system, and our interrater agreement was substantial. The use of laparoscopy for adhesion monitoring instead of laparotomy decreased the potential for adhesion formation after the initial adhesion induction surgery; and finally, we were able to perform a thorough evaluation of the pelvis at the time of autopsy.
The primary weakness of the study is the low number of adhesions available to be scored. Future studies could incorporate more hysterotomy sites or additional thermal damage by electrocautery to induce further adhesion formation. Most adhesion formation should occur within 14 days postoperatively, so the length of the study should not be considered a weakness. Our data fit this since we did not see a significant increase in the number or severity of adhesions throughout the sixteen days.
Adhesions are a known source of both short-term and long-term morbidity, and the current barrier methods for their prevention are costly and not optimally effective. In addition, some barriers are known to increase the formation of adhesions if hemostasis is not maintained. Omentum is readily available, easy to apply, noninflammatory, and inexpensive with the added ability to contain foreign matter and microbes, yet it has not been fully investigated for its potential to prevent pelvic adhesions. The survival of all flaps and grafts demonstrates that this rabbit model is an effective method for studying the omentum as a pelvic adhesion barrier. The significantly lower number of non-uterine adhesions seen with the omental grafts as compared to the flaps suggests that grafts may be a superior methodology. Future studies with a larger number of rabbits and more adhesiogenic methods should be undertaken to fully elucidate the ability of omentum to prevent pelvic adhesions.

Sometimes I actually believe that if I don’t do my thing, everything will fall apart. This tends to make me feel more important than I really am. Don’t get me wrong, I realize that I have a significant purpose in life and a lot to add to the world I live in, but I don’t hold the world together. I woke up this morning and the sun was up–I had nothing to do with that, if I did, it would have stayed down a little longer. When I take time to rest and re-orient myself around God and His purposes, I am reminded that it’s not about me–it’s about Him. I am reminded that I have incredible worth and value and am loved more than I will ever know. . . simply because I exist. Somehow in taking this “break” I discover more strength to do what has been placed before me–to love people, accomplish tasks, etc. More than anything else, I am His!
When was the last time I rested with God?

I don’t manage to see gps data within Postman interface by the ‘nbIOT_gps’ sample. Is it about the format code?
However, I am able to see it into my serial console.
That’s what I got on my Postman interface.
Now, using the Sodaq_Nb-iot_All_sensor sketch from Sodaq library, I got the following data into the Postman interface ( serial console got proper upcoming data).
If I decode that data from Base64, the result doesn’t make any sense.
Hi @tonibco in the sketch you mentioned you can find the definition of HEX bytes that you have sent. These HEX values corespond to the base64 decoded HEX values.

Moms Explore the Guilt, Fear and Joys of Parenting in Ads for Jessica Alba’s Honest Co.
"What do 30 moms who have never met have in common? Everything."
Eco-friendly family product brand Honest Company brought together 30 moms for some open conversation about motherhood. The group was comprised of diverse (in race and sexuality, but maybe less so in age) moms who were—until that day—strangers. The topics for their discussion included balance, guilt, expectations, breastfeeding, partners, single motherhood and more.
Co-founded by actress Jessica Alba, Honest is a direct-to-consumer company that creates everything from lotions and shampoos to diapers and bathroom spray. Alba was inspired to create the company after having allergic reactions to popular household products during her first pregnancy, and she has since parlayed her dream of a natural product line into a billion-dollar enterprise.
Created with content studio Influence, Honest Company's videos attempt to spark more discussion among moms online by using the hashtag #YouGotThis, which might not have been the most strategically focused decision. #YouGotThis has grown to be a bit of a tired expression and is also frequently used in fitness circles. A cursory search on Twitter finds #yougotthis tagged onto well wishes to test takers and the Dallas Cowboys and marathon runners, which might dilute Honest's messaging impact a bit.
But I applaud the desire to showcase some moms and honest conversation, especially in light of the fact that nonproduct-centric films like these, largely pioneered by Dove and Pantene, are also quite effective in increasing sales.
Honest's moms have camaraderie that's sweet and inspirational without being cloying.
"I grew up with this idea that I was going to be a perfect mom," notes one. "Now that I am a mom, I realize there is no such thing as a perfect mom."
"The truth is, most of us are REALLY good moms."

Flickering Screen I have a 4 month old samsung HC-R4755W CRT projection tv, not under warranty anymore since I purchased it used. After about a half of an hour when the TV warms up, images on the screen, especially dark ones start flickering. Any idea on what is causing it? Or how to fix it? How much it will cost?
Soon the picture going to go to black screen, you got somes capacitors bothering, you better to call a tech now that he can see the problem, later will cost you more..good luck ps the picture many times tell to the tech whats going on.
there are two screens back to back and I think if you look from back with rear cover removed you will find the debris is between them.
Not going to be easy or simple to deal with.
You can resize the screen.
You can also change the screen resolution size or the box sizes on the screen.
My Akai pt5499HD has no picture to it and i just replaced the flyback transformer to see if that was the problem. any suggestions?
You need to have copy of service manual for this tv and Samsung PT5499HD service manual will work on your Akai tv as both has same circuit.
This is a common problem. Its called a convergence failure.
Samsung HC-R4755W turns on and off by itself.
Have Capacitors checked in the power relay circuit, also if you have young children who like to push the buttons on the front of the set make sure none of the buttons are sticking inward or stuck in a pushed in posistion. More then likely it might be caused by a faulty System control board which we call the signal board, or bad connections on the power supply, Have a tech check the connections on the Flyback transformer and the High Voltage Deflection Area on the HV Power supply. I believe you have Cold Solder Joints in the HV Power Supply.
How old is that TV?
Wow! I think that's a rear projection TV, so it may be time for a new one!, as the part is about $175 + shipping, + installation + your time, + they break pretty easily.
Picture problems and need service manual.
TV won't turn on or stay on?
no solution, Did Samsung get me for 999.00 plus tax?
Yes, there is a tilt adjust,but you should have service manual to guide you....it requires some diassembly / access in back of set.....................T.
Have a manual for Samsung HC-R4755W 47" HDTV?

I use the web quite a bit, and one of the things I do quite often is customize my experience on sites I frequent. Most of that customization comes via Stylish and Scriptish (the latter a fork of Grease Monkey).
Some of the things I customize are minor, like page aesthetics. Some I consider more important. Take Google Search for example. Did you know some of your search results are censored? This is thanks to laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Google is good enough to notify you when censorship has occurred.
But only if you scroll to the bottom of the search page. Which you may not do for quick, one-off searches. This is the equivalent to newspapers printing important news on page 8N which is otherwise a full page of ads.
This adds a bit of styling to the notice and throws it at the top-left of the search results.
With most software this wouldn’t be possible. Without the open web that notice (if there at all) would be permanently stuck down at the bottom. Maybe I would adopt the practice of always looking for it, but it’s doubtful.
Instead, I can remain aware of the prevalence of censored results. I can find out more.
The problem with that approach is that it limits the idea pool to those who either can implement a modification themselves or knows someone who can.
