Another option - a reasonable solution
Letters to the Editor
Last updated 5/23/2012 at 12:32pm
Coulee Dam paid $70,000 to have its engineer prepare a facilities plan for the town's sewer treatment system. The plan presented TWO viable build options: One was to go ahead and spend over $6.2 million dollars now for a project with all of the whistles and bells you could want. The other was a "phased" project — one that would spend about $2.1 million to build what was "actually" needed and to put off the "options" and gold-plating until later.
The Coulee Dam council, apparently against the wishes of the mayor, decided that they wanted the best and most (now and first) regardless of the economic impact … regardless of the rates we (and our children and our children's children) would have to pay to finance that Cadillac. Councilmember Poch stated that he did not want to "leave problems for our kids to solve later," which really translates to, "Let's stick our kids with the debt now, before they're old enough decide for themselves!"
The town simply did not build the partnerships it should have when it needed too. By involving the Tribe, the town of Elmer City, the USBR and other funding agencies earlier, it's very likely that additional funds and better ideas would have evolved.
But it's not too late! By adopting the "phased" recommendation, the town will then have the time it needs to properly coordinate and cooperate with its stakeholders. The community and the process deserves that … not a bunch of meaningless metaphors about solving problems for our children!
At a point too late in the process, the town began holding meetings designed to "tell" their constituents and their partners what they were going to do, what they had decided to do, all cloaked in a "what they had to do" excuse. No time was spent talking about what "could" be done or soliciting ideas and input that just might help define a better and more cost effective project.
Then reality hit. The town was unable to secure financing for the "biggest and best" and had to re-scope the project — down from $6.2 million to $5 million, still ignoring the $2.1 million project that would actually satisfy its needs! At this point the town began actively looking for more money. The Colville Tribe was contacted for assistance, and the mayor claims to be "working our state and federal officials too." When asked, "What if additional moneys are found, will they be used to reduce the cost of the $5 million project debt OR used to grow the project back to $6.2 million or more?" there was (and still remains) no answer to that question.
The Colville Tribe's interest is in reducing the cost and the impacts on its community, so why would they even be the least bit interested in throwing good money after bad? Unless, of course, their money is used to reduce the costs on the project and debt, not to grow it into something even bigger!
I sat through the last few meetings quietly listening to the Coulee Dam engineer paint a picture depicting $5 million of "musts" and "requirements" necessary now! Painting a picture of regulatory mandates that if not met would spell doom, disaster, and untold fines and penalties. And yet the plan these same engineers prepared defines the lesser $2.1 million option as a viable alternative … go figure.
I guess to Poch and the other council members, the more money you have in hand (or the more you can borrow), the greater is the imagined need — speaking of children — like a bunch of children in a candy store with pockets full of change! And, of course, the more options you include in the project, the larger the engineering fees.
There is a clear, compelling, and obvious solution that will repair the failing components, insure that the town is compliant with state and federal regulations, and one that is "more" affordable. A project that will cost $2.1 million not $6.2 million! A project that will cut by more than 60 percent the proposed rate increases. Again, the town's own engineer pointed that out in the Facilities Plan … a plan that was prepared by the Coulee Dam engineer, adopted by the town, and approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology.
I (for one) say let's build what we need, not what we want… for now. I say, let's not burden our children with unnecessary debt and skyrocketing utility rates. What do you say?
As a parenthetical footnote … the Elmer City share of this project is NOT at all limited to 25 percent of the project cost. If they are bound by the terms of a 35-year-old agreement with Coulee Dam, the percentage could be more. And Elmer City would also be held to pay for all those "other" costs the engineer and the town of Coulee Dam decide are related to the improvements needed to address the "unique" character of the Elmer City sewage!
I remain interested in the good and better for Coulee Dam (and the region) and I remain,

So one day my friend made a somewhat poem for me and it made me laugh like crazy, and my teacher gave me the most retarted look(even though her face is already like that....)
Shannon Shannon is a tree
How will you get down to me
Youve been up there since three
Do you not have to pee?
Shannon Shannon please come down
There are weirdos all around
They found something in the ground
Theyd love to show you what they found
Shannon Shannon in a tree
Where in the world may you be
Oh wait now I see
you are in the cemetery!
Shannon Shannon oh my dear
There is something you should hear
Theres a hobo offering you some beer
Just thought Id let you know my dear
Shannon Shannon did you know
That out of your tree down below
Is a present with a bow

These past two weeks
these past two weeks have been the best two weeks of my life and the most stressful. First it started off witht an Okinawan festival that happens every year.theres always a bunch of food, games, entertainment and its right next to the beach so you always have something to do after. I worked at the dunking booth this year, Ive been in the chair for the past 6 years and it never gets old. But this year was even better, not only did I not get a lot of free food, and a tan, i met this amazingly cute guy. =] hes the same age as me, but goes to a private school =[. but it doesnt matter, i talk to him everyday and its always fun to be around him.
But when something good comes into your life, something bad is always not that far behind, last thursday my grandma fell and broke her leg... it was around 2 in the morning, she wanted to go to the bathroom or something and the next thing i know is that my aunty needs me to get my parents up and to call 911. Believe it or not but that wasnt the first time I had to call 911, I hate calling them, sometimes they make you hold or they say "Ms you need to speak louder or calm down" how do i calm down and im yelling my head off! At the time I didnt know that my grandma broke her leg, i thought she was full on dying... If youve read from my blog before you might know that my grandma has had cancer before and is now in recovery. So if you were me you might have thought that the side affects of kimo therapy have caughten up to my grandma.
I went to the hospital in the ambulance and was awake from 2 am to 9pm, my grandma was in soo much pain when they were bringing her in the hospital i wish i was deaf or just had my earphones with me. Whats even worse is that I skipped on day of school to be in the hospital with my grandma and my teacher didnt excuse my absence and said "you should have came to school" I was about to kick his ass, i didnt care if i got suspended or expelled you should never tell anyone that!! My grandma stayed in the hospital for about 4 days and is now at home with me and the rest of my family.
Im happy and exhausted for what has happened in the past two weeks, and if your reading this then it might not have made any sense. =] im just reviewing about what happened and its making me remember that there is always good and bad things in life

Illinois EPA sponsors annual contest for 5th-6th-grade students
encourages youth to be creative on how they can help to protect land
Send a link to a friend
[January 19, 2013]
SPRINGFIELD -- Director John Kim
invites fifth- and sixth-grade writers and artists from around
Illinois to compete in this year's "Poster,
Poetry and Prose" contest, sponsored by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency. "Through programs such as this,
students will learn how to be good environmental stewards, and they,
in turn, can educate and influence the actions of others," said Kim.
The contest,
which correlates with the environmental education packet
"Environmental Pathways -- Youth Investigating Pollution Issues in
Illinois," gives students an opportunity to express and share, on a
deeper and more personal level, what they have learned about the
importance of protecting our air, land and water. The student
exhibit also draws attention to environmental issues. This free
teacher's guide meets the criteria of the North American Association
for Environmental Education's "Environmental Education Materials:
Guidelines for Excellence" and is correlated with the Illinois
Learning Standards.
Each school can enter up to eight works: four posters and four
written. Entries must be postmarked and sent in to the Illinois EPA
by Feb. 1. An in-house panel from the Illinois EPA judges all
entries to select the finalists, whose entries are then judged by an
outside panel of authorities to determine the top 12 winners.
[to top of second column]
All finalists, together with their families and teachers, are
invited to an awards ceremony and reception on March 23 at the Old
State Capitol Historic Site in Springfield.
Following the awards ceremony and reception, entries will be on
exhibit in the atrium of the Illinois EPA's headquarters building in
Springfield from March 25 through April 26, and the top winners will
be featured on the Illinois EPA's home page at
Information about the annual event can be obtained by contacting
Kristi Morris, environmental education coordinator for the Illinois
EPA, at 217-558-7198, or by mail at 1021 North Grand Ave. East, P.O.
Box 19276, Springfield, IL 62794-9276.

I don't have the right to write about fashion. I don't have any fashion sense that is why in my marketing consultancy business I never took on any clients that has something to do with fashion.
For me, clothes are not about what is nice, but it's more of what's comfortable and what is lucky or unlucky for me. Many times when I recommend something to a friend and/or relative, they'll tell me that it's very unfashionable.
Well, I don't think Feng Shui has to be unfashionable. Feng Shui would be able to tell you what you need to wear or what you shouldn't be wearing but it's up to you to make it 'fashionable'.
So, after confessing that I don't have the right to write about fashion, allow me to share with you a very common bad Feng Shui fashion that I see a lot especially amongst the younger generation.
What is that fashion? Ripped Jeans!
Maybe it's not as fashionable now as it used to be, there was a time that it was the coolest thing to wear, however, ripped jeans is one of the worst 'fashion' that you can adopt. I know some people would even actually rip their own jeans! The web has a lot of site that teaches you to rip your jeans. But wearing ripped jeans creates bad Feng Shui and may actually steal your good chi or energy.
Wearing ripped jeans will create so much bad Feng Shui for you that it will surely have some effect on your career, health, financial life, or even personal life.
About a couple of years ago, my cousin called to ask for my assistance. His friend's daughter used to be an honor student but she has since started to get lower grades. She also has become a little rebellious while she used to be the nicest child among their 4 children. They're afraid that it could be because of the bad Feng Shui since they've just recently moved into a new house.
I first did a Bazi analysis of the said daughter, however, it did show that she has the Scholastic Star and that she seem to be a good child and intelligent girl. Next, I did a Feng Shui audit of their house, however, other than minor Feng Shui mistakes the house is actually lucky. In fact, I can't seem to find any problems that may be causing the change in the daughter. At the time that I went there, the daughter was in school and I didn't get to meet her.
I was exploring the idea that other than Feng Shui could be causing the problem. However, her parents were insistent that everything has been pretty much the same except her daughter and those they've recently moved into a new house. I decided to be honest with them and told them that I can't help them and can't seem to pinpoint the problem, unless she's sleeping on a 'broken' bed with ripped bed sheets, and I also said that it doesn't seem to be the case because when I checked her bed during the Feng Shui audit everything seems to be fine. At this point, the mother had a Feng Shui 'light bulb' moment! She asked me whether it applies to wearing ripped jeans. I said yes, and as it turn out, as influenced by her friends, the daughter had started wearing ripped jeans about a year before they notice the problem. They talked to their daughter and they got rid of all the ripped jeans. She graduated at the top of her class and needless to say she became her old self again!

Arthur Jones Trains Casey Viator for the 1971 Mr. America:
An Old-School Blast from the Past
Casey Viator appears on the front cover of my latest book. I took this photo of him in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, in July of 1978. Working on this soon-to-published manual brought back a flood of recollections of Viator and his bodybuilding achievements. Below is one of my favorite memories.
by Ellington Darden, Ph.D.
"Drive down tomorrow and watch Casey train," Arthur Jones said to me on the phone.
The date was June 9, 1971. I hadn't seen Casey Viator in nine months, so I was anxious to view him working out. Jones had been training Viator on and off for eleven months. Everyone interested in bodybuilding at that time was following the escapades of Jones and Viator through IronMan magazine.
Their big test was the 1971 AAU Mr. America contest, which was to be held in York, Pennsylvania, in three days . . . on June 12th.
"This will be Casey's crowning workout," he continued in his baritone voice. "After observing, you'll be able to judge for yourself whether he'll beat that big red-headed bastard or not." (That redheaded competitor Jones was referring to was Ken Waller, who had placed second to Chris Dickerson in the 1970 Mr. America).
You can read my exercise-by-exercise report of Casey's workout, which involved one set of 15 different exercises, on pages 18 and 19 of my 2004 book, The New HIT. Without being redundant, I want to comment on two of Viator's exercises: the barbell squat and the triceps extension. But first, let me describe the workout setting.
Anything But Fancy
From 1970-1973, Arthur Jones had not yet completed his 20-acre Nautilus headquarters in Lake Helen, Florida. Lake Helen was located in central Florida, approximately 20 miles from Daytona Beach and 5 miles from DeLand.
Thus, for the first three years, Jones's training facility was situated behind the DeLand High School in an old army, semi-circular, Quonset hut. The hut was dimly lit, humid, and musty-smelling. The floors were concrete and there was no reliable heating or cooling in the structure. High-school athletes and a few local fitness buffs used the facility, along with Jones and his selected bodybuilders.
As you entered through the front door, there was a Universal Gym machine on the right and a Nautilus Combination Biceps/Triceps Machine on the left. At the far end were prototypes of the Nautilus Pullover, Behind Neck, and Rowing Machines. In the middle were squat racks, several old Olympic barbells, and half a dozen dumbbells.
The surroundings were ordinary. But when Jones was there with his entourage, the gym became electric – with Arthur barking orders, assistants preparing the equipment, and visitors with eyes as big as saucers hanging around the door. Jones filled the place with muscle-building excitement.
Viator, who usually showed up 5 minutes before Jones arrived, told me that his heart rate would double when Jones walked into the gym. "He kept me pissed off most of the time," Casey remembered, "with all his intimidation tactics and demands. No one could get me into the max-training mode the way Arthur could. I hated what he made me do during my workouts . . . but I loved the results."
"Due to the workout's intensity and pace, plus the lack of circulating air," Larry Gilmore noted, "we sweated gallons during each workout." Gilmore was a local lifter, who often helped Jones with his training. "The air in the Quonset hut was usually foul, due to guys missing the bucket when they had to puke. (Two medium-sized buckets were in the room.) But you know what? You could sure get a ball-busting workout, if you had a mind to."
Which brings us back to my comments on Viator's performance of the barbell squat. (PS: I wish I'd taken some photos during Viator's workout. But it would've been difficult without a flash attachment, which would've been a big distraction. Still, I wish I had tried.)
The Barbell Squat
At approximately 9 o'clock on the night of June 10, 1971, Viator did 13 repetitions in the squat with a 500-pound barbell. None of his reps were half squats. They were all ass-to-heels, full squats – performed after he pre-exhausted with 750 pounds on the leg press for 20 reps, followed by 225 pounds on the leg extension for another 20 reps . . . with no rest between the exercises.
That's right, Jones pushed Viator through a double pre-exhaustion cycle: leg press, leg extension, and squat, performed back-to-back-to-back . . . with very heavy weights, in good form, for maximum repetitions . . . which was the ultimate in HIGH INTENSITY.
I had never seen anything like this leg cycle. Can you imagine squatting with a 500-pound barbell 13 times . . . after pre-exhausting your thighs?
Jones was on the left side of Viator encouraging him – or I should say shouting at him: "Slow down. Hold your head up. Keep going. Don't quit. Think about that big redhead's thighs. Goddamn it, Casey, get three more. Breathe deeply. Now . . . one more."
It worked. Viator exceeded Jones's expectations. His heart rate must have been more than 220 beats per minute for at least 2 minutes. I'd never envisioned such intensity – ever.
Early in 2005, I interviewed Casey for my latest book, The New Bodybuilding for Old-School Results, and he remembered that workout well (it would be difficult to forget). "I planned to hold back a little on those squats because I knew I had a bunch more stuff to do, but with 500 pounds on my back and the adrenalin flowing, all I could do was think 'Get 10 reps.' I was really surprised when I got 12 and couldn't believe I made 13. I knew then that the workout was going to be a real bitch."
A real bitch it was. From my 45 years of training experience, that three-exercise leg cycle was the most demanding and impressive series that I've ever seen.
Jones talked about it later and stated that . . . "Paul Anderson (who, at one time, was considered the world's strongest man), in his best condition, could have duplicated Viator's leg cycle. But to do so, he'd had to have an injection of Novocain in each thigh to combat the pain. Furthermore, if Anderson had survived this feat, he'd have probably died afterward."
Viator not only performed that cycle in championship style, but after a two-minute rest and some water, he continued his workout. His next-to-last movement, in his 15-exercise routine, was the triceps extension performed on the Nautilus Combination Biceps/Triceps Machine.
The Triceps Extension
On this night, Jones loaded Casey's triceps with 125 pounds – which was more than I ever saw anyone use on that plate-loading arm machine, particularly at the end of a routine. Perhaps 125 pounds doesn't sound like a lot of weight, but this Nautilus Triceps station placed him into a tight, vertical position that made it impossible to cheat. Only his triceps were called into action on this precision exercise.
Casey initiated the repetitions deliberately . . . one by one, from a full stretch to maximum contraction and back. Again, Jones was near his ear, urging him to pause, lower slowly, and continue.
At repetition 8, Viator was spent . . . he couldn't quite make the contracted position, even with Jones's coaxing. Jones calmly looked him in the eyes and said: "That redhead in California is going to get the best of you." That motivated Viator into finishing number 8 and, in fact, making another rep in better form than the one before. The 10th rep, however, was a no-go. Casey couldn't get it started.
In an instant, Jones had two assistants lift Viator out of the sweat-dampened triceps machine and hustle him over to the nearby parallel dips bars, which were connected to one side of the Universal Gym machine.
I could tell Casey did NOT like the idea of doing dips . . . especially after punishing his triceps on the previous machine.
But then, Casey seemed to get a second wind – no, it was a third or fourth wind – and mounted the parallel bars and started his dips.
He was near the end of the hardest-training session I've ever witnessed and he had just finished blasting his triceps on a Nautilus machine. Could he really be expected to do more than 3 or 4 dips?
That, in fact, is the very question I asked Arthur as I moved around him as he peered over his horned-rimed glasses and examined Casey's previous workout on his chart.
"Three or 4 reps, you say," Jones noted. "He'll do 20 . . . or I'll kick his ass up around his shoulders."
Up and down Viator went as if his arms were connected to a couple of well-oiled pistons. The first 10 were slow, smooth, and steady. The second 10 were a bit faster, with Jones questioning his manhood on 18, 19, and 20. The final two (reps 21 and 22) were painfully s-l-o-w, with Viator's upper body drenched in sweat and his triceps, deltoids, and pecs almost vibrating through his skin.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah," bellowed from Viator's lungs as Arthur commanded him to do a controlled lowering on the final rep.
As Viator sunk to one knee, Jones smiled ever so slightly. His work was almost completed.
He let Casey slither over to a jug of cold water and linger for a couple of minutes. In the interim, he noted that Viator's entire workout – legs, back shoulders, chest, and arms – had taken exactly 27 minutes and 40 seconds. Jones claimed they'd have finished in 25 minutes or less, if the gym had not been so crowded.
Then Jones signaled to Viator: "Come over here. Take off your shirt and let's see how you look?"
I moved into a front position because I wanted to view Casey's upper-body muscles contracted up close. First, he hit a double-biceps pose. All of the dozen or so people in the room, with the exception of Jones, were dumbfounded. His arms resembled wet footballs with pulsating veins.
Second, he went into a side-chest pose and his deltoids and pecs looked as if they were armor plated and about 18-inches thick. Then, he turned 90 degrees and hit a back pose. From his hips up to his neck there was nothing but mounds of muscle on top of more muscle, with striations everywhere.
Even in the dimly lit Quonset hut, Casey's back, shoulders, chest, and arms seemed to glow and be almost on fire. When he contracted intensely, his muscles appeared as if they were about to erupt from his skin.
I had entered the 1969 and 1970 AAU Mr. America contests, so I had seen most of the top bodybuilders at that time do their posing routines. But I had never seen anyone as massive, as cut, and as explosive in a pose . . . as was Casey Viator that night.
The Winner Is . . .
From what I observed that night, I was sure Viator would defeat Ken Waller and win the Mr. America title. Interestingly, two days later, Waller was disqualified from the Amateur Athletic Union for appearing in a non-sanctioned, exercise-related magazine advertisement several months earlier. Thus, the Viator/Waller confrontation never occurred. But Casey competed against 32 other men on June 12th and easily won the 1971 AAU Mr. America.
Said one of the judges: "Viator was simply overpowering!" I was thinking to myself, "Was it Viator – or Jones – who was overpowering? Or, was it their combined talents working together?
After the 1971 Mr. America, Viator had plans to enter the NABBA Mr. Universe, which was scheduled for early September in London, England. Unfortunately, he had a disagreement with Jones and took a leave of absence from training for several months and he did not go to the Mr. Universe event.
Furthermore, after that June 10, 1971, supervised workout, Jones never again trained Viator seriously. No, I take that back. He did train Viator 14 times in May of 1973 during the Colorado Experiment. But that was a part of a research project, and not for a bodybuilding championship.
1978 NABBA Mr. Universe
In February of 1978, after another lengthy leave of absence as well being out-of-training for almost a year, Viator returned to Jones and the Nautilus headquarters. He declared that he wanted to enter the NABBA Mr. Universe in September. Thus, it became part of Jim Flanagan's and my job to train Casey for this contest.
Flanagan, who was 6-foot 5-inches tall and weighed 265 pounds, and I trained him three times per week on whole-body routines, some of which I chronicle in my new book. Over the next five months, Viator's body weight increased from 194 to 220 pounds – which was 2 pounds more than he weighed at his Mr. America win seven years earlier.
I took hundreds of photos of Casey in the summer of 1978 and some of the best ones are in The New Bodybuilding for Old-School Results, including the cover shot that I mentioned previously.
At the Mr. Universe, Viator placed a controversial second to Dave Johns. Many in the audience thought Viator should have won.
Crossing that Line
Jim Flanagan and I pushed Casey as hard as we could during our six months' tenure with him in 1978. But it wasn't quite the same as having Arthur Jones at his shoulder and . . . in his face.
Jones was the ultimate do-it-my-way, hands-on, kick-ass coach.
During a workout, Jones had a way of quickly finding and hitting a person's "hot" buttons. That style certainly worked with Viator – and it worked with many other lifters.
Some bodybuilders can be pushed, some can't. Those who can be pushed are usually the high achievers.
Working with bodybuilders for more than four decades, I've discovered that there's a thin line between those who can and those who can't. Crossing that line and accepting proactive pushing can make a significant difference toward getting the best-possible gains.
If you're interested in making the most of your potential for muscular size and strength, you've got to determine which side of the line you're on.
If you're teetering on the can't-be-pushed side, do something about it. Get involved with a coach or training partner who knows how to hit your hot buttons.
Old-school taskmaster Arthur Jones helped Casey Viator and a lot of trainees cross that line . . . and achieve maximum results.
One of the best pictures I've ever seen of Arthur Jones is on the back cover of The New Bodybuilding for Old-School Results. Jones's exercise guidelines were always up front, thought provoking, and relevant. When Jones trained you, there was no straddling the line. You did it his way . . . or you left with hurt feelings and a bent suit. (Photo by Walter Coker)

Dohadwala Rashida Taher will be conducting a workshop on the use of paper strips and quilling to make eco-friendly jewellery on 28 July, 2.45pm – 3.30pm at *SCAPE Workshop, Situation Room (Level 5).
Rashida shared that her inspiration for quilling came from a book which she saw 8 years ago, and it gained traction over the years. Her inspiration for projects come from many sources ranging from the colourful flowers at the Sentosa Spring Festival to the beauty of a peacock's plumage to the popular "Angry Birds". She shared that once the quilling fever sets in, everything around her seems to inspire a quilling project. She has made gift tags, envelopes, photo frames, paper jewellery, magnets, candle holders, greeting cards and even incorporated quilling into decorative watches!
In her workshop, she will share the original quilling technique where participants will make a colourful pendant which will be attached with a leather string to form a necklace, and the project will be suitable for any children aged 7 and above. with this technique you could easily make some gold jesus piece chain for people at church. The finished creations can be brought home by the participants. The quilled items can be made water resistant but this process requires multiple coats with a drying period of about 2 -3 days and cannot be completed during the workshop. Hence, Rashida is offering participants of the workshop to waterproof their end products and collect from her separately at centrally located MRT stations on either 1st or 2nd August.
If you are interested to learn how to quill and make your own fancy jewellery with it, do come to the Singapore Mini Maker Faire on 28 July and sign up for the workshop at the SMMF information counter. The fee is at $8 per participant. Places are limited, so come early to secure your places!

Tobacco use linked to worse outcomes in HPV-positive head and neck cancer
Patients with head and neck cancer linked to high risk human papillomavirus, or HPV, have worse outcomes if they are current or former tobacco users, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
High-risk HPVs are the same viruses that are associated with cancers of the uterine cervix.
The research suggests that current or former tobacco users may need a more aggressive treatment regimen than patients who have never used tobacco.
Past research shows that HPV-positive head and neck cancers tend to be more responsive to current treatments and these patients overall tend to have better outcomes than patients with HPV-negative tumors. However, the new study found that current tobacco users with HPV-positive tumors were five times more likely to have their cancer recur. Even former smokers had an increased risk of recurrence.
"Because the effect of HPV is so strong in giving a very good prognostic picture, we were surprised to find that smoking remained a huge issue, and it actually affected the outcome in patients who smoked," says senior study author Thomas Carey, Ph.D., professor of otolaryngology and pharmacology, and co-director of the Head and Neck Oncology Program at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Results of the study appear in the Feb. 15 issue of Clinical Cancer Research.
The study looked at 124 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer, which is cancer of the tonsils or the base of the tongue. Most of these patients had HPV DNA in their tumors, which is consistent with HPV being a major factor in oropharyngeal cancer development. All 22 of the HPV-negative patients were tobacco users, and about two-thirds of the 102 HPV-positive patients were current or former tobacco users.
Of the HPV-positive patients who had never used tobacco, 6 percent had a recurrence of their cancer. Meanwhile, 19 percent of former tobacco users and 35 percent of current tobacco users had a recurrence. Still, the outcomes were better than the HPV-negative patients, all of whom were smokers, and among whom half recurred.
Tobacco users have traditionally been more likely than non-users to develop head and neck cancers. But a recent rise in these cancers linked to HPV has meant more non-smokers are being diagnosed with the disease. HPV-positive head and neck cancers tend to be more responsive to chemotherapy and radiation treatments, which has made researchers wonder if these highly toxic treatments could be reduced in this group of patients.
"The side effects of these treatments affect critical functions such as eating and swallowing. Since the HPV-positive tumors respond so well to treatment, our research team has been asking: Could we potentially spare patients some of these side effects while maintaining good outcomes if we reduce the doses given? If we decide to reduce intensity of treatment, our study shows we will want to take tobacco use into account. Any smoking or tobacco use increases the risk of recurrence or a second primary cancer," Carey says.
Researchers from U-M's multidisciplinary head and neck oncology program are planning a clinical trial to look at reducing treatment intensity for low-risk patients - those whose tumors express certain markers, including HPV, and who are not tobacco users. The trial is expected to begin this spring.

Auggies help third graders get ready for college
It may seem that third grade is a bit too early to begin thinking about going to college. But Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak doesn't think so. Auggie Eagle doesn't think so. And neither did the 2,700 Minneapolis third graders who participated in the "I Know I Can" College Awareness Day.
On Thursday, Feb. 10, Augsburg elementary education majors joined staff from Augsburg's Office of Admission at Seward Montessori school. With Auggie Eagle also in attendance, they read to 60 students from the book, "I Know I Can," written and illustrated by Wendy R. Rouillard.
The book helps students begin thinking about how they can take steps, even in elementary school, to prepare themselves for college. By working on improving their skills and studying hard, the book suggests they can do anything they want when they grow up.
Sam Waskosky [pictured center], a junior education major and a Bonner Leader, read to one of the groups. Waskosky has been volunteering at Seward Montessori for several years. After she finished reading, she answered questions about Augsburg including what dorm life is like and whether or not college is "hard." Auggies Devyn Pittorf and Alexis Stadstad also read to different groups.
Brenda Hemmingsen, the Augsburg admissions visit coordinator, reminded students that part of getting into college involves getting good grades and having good attendance. She asked students to identify the subjects they would focus on, such as reading, math, and languages.
The event, part of The Minneapolis Promise initiative designed to eliminate barriers to post-secondary education for Minneapolis youth, is a partnership of the Augsburg College Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning, the Office of the Mayor (Minneapolis), RBC Wealth Management, Minneapolis Public Schools, the University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota College Access Network.

13 Reasons Why We Need Ozzie
FOX's pre-game World Series coverage along with the recently published stories
about how he was coveted by the Florida Marlins, a very familiar thought comes
to mind: The White Sox need No. 13 and we should be thrilled to have him as
our manager.
Why, you say? Here are 13 reasons why.
1. The White Sox, one of baseball's most anonymous teams
despite a world title five years ago and an A.L. Central crown in 2008, need a
national standard bearer and Ozzie is it. Without him the Sox would be even
more invisible on the national stage. His TV gig helps put the Sox square in
the spotlight, though we all agree it pales in comparison to the South Siders
actually being in the Fall Classic.
2. Ozzie is one of our own and wants to be in Chicago with
the Sox. While he played briefly for the Rays, Orioles and Braves and coached
for the Expos and Marlins, he's White Sox through and through and understands
the South Side mentality.
3. Despite the national obsession with sensationalizing
his controversial episodes and ignoring his managerial skills, Ozzie is an
excellent skipper. From taking the heat off of his players to his in-game
strategy to keeping his players loose, he's one of the most underrated field
managers in baseball.
4. Part of being a good manager is showing faith in your
players. Although he's painfully straightforward and honest to a fault, Ozzie
consistently supports his troops, whether boosting the morale of a player in a
slump or letting a starting pitcher go the extra inning.
5. He's funnier than any comedian I can think of. Win or lose,
it's always a treat to listen to Ozzie's pre-game and post-game analysis–not to mention hearing his views of the world.
6. Ozzie has always shown reverence and appreciation for
his mentors and those who paved the way for him. For instance, he has often
extolled the virtue of recently retired Braves manager Bobby Cox and has been
respectful of the long line of Venezuelan shortstops that preceded him, such
Chico Carrasquel, Luis Aparicio and Dave Concepcion. I also saw Ozzie beam with
great pride during the '05 Series when the great Latin American players were
7. I've always
liked Ozzie's fearlessness. Whether it's criticizing an umpire, chiding the
self-important Buck Showalter or, in his playing days, trying to cut Frank
Thomas's ego down to size, he fears no one.
8. While Ozzie is
extremely loyal to his coaches and staff, he hasn't let that get in the way of
doing what's best for the team. For instance, he let go of coaches Tim Raines
and Razor Shines, who Guillen apparently felt weren't up to the task.
9. In addition to
making the tough calls on coaches, Ozzie has also helped get rid of players who
weren't as committed as he would have liked them to be. Carlos Lee comes to
10. Ozzie has been
known to be generous. When he was
a player I was present when he told a few of the White Sox staff during a road
trip to go to a particular New York City tailor and order new suits–with his
11. Ozzie loves his family and countries, two noble qualities. He's obviously a great Dad and while he couldn't be prouder of his Venezuelan heritage, he was equally as proud on the day he and his family became American citizens (pictured above).
12. Ozzie has been
very active in the community and it appears he sincerely likes giving back–from
his foundation to the substantial Sox volunteer efforts to his Easter Seals
13. On a personal note, I had a nice encounter with Ozzie about
a year after I presented him with a framed picture of his family that appeared
in Sports Illustrated. I was in the White Sox clubhouse and Ozzie glanced at
me, trying to remember who I was. I reminded him that I was the guy from SI who
gave him the framing. He came over, hugged me and told me to go in his office
to look at it. I thought that gesture said a lot about Ozzie as a person and
another reason why we need him in a White Sox uniform.

Fireballers get all the attention in prospect land, so it's not a coincidence that most of the pitchers profiled in this space have above-average torque. In this case, Chapman's hip-shoulder separation actually breaks the scale.
'Roldi combines all of the ingredients to achieve maximum torque. He utilizes freakish flexibility to generate a ridiculous load with his upper half, and delays trunk rotation until well after foot strike. The result is perhaps the greatest torque that I have ever seen on a pitcher, though it would take motion analysis data to validate that claim. The heavy scapular load does bring along some potential baggage, given the conditioning necessary for such a high-maintenance delivery. Chapman also carries a slight inverted W, for what it's worth. …

|Search Screen for Fairfax News Store http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/newsSearch.ac?sy=nstore
This is a useful site, especially, for tracing current family members but I haven't used it for ages because of the fees. I tried some simple searches for my most common surnames and struck gold. A couple of birth notices from the Sydney Morning Herald gave me the spouse's name of a second cousin, the names of their two children with birthdates and the hospitals in which they were born. A search for another surname gave me 28 results from 5 newspapers for the period 1996-2013.
More specific searches returned some death and funeral notices that gave me names of children and confirmed dates and places of death. This resource can be used to find those notices from The Sydney Morning Herald, The Melbourne Age and other Fairfax papers between 1996 and today that have been indexed on the Ryerson Index.

a) Because his sudden expulsion from the Blue Jays saved him the trouble of going to Orlando.
b) Because he watched his old team suck bag and lick arse in said three-game series in Orlando.
c) Because he went from being dropped by a last place team to being picked up by a first place team.
d) Because in his new home, he can go 0-3 and people will still love him. (Well, for a few more weeks, anyways.)

i am quite fond of that OBP as well. although it doesn't do you much good with runners on base.
- April 25, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Yes it does, it puts more men on base, escalates pitch counts while costing you nothing.

But don't walks clog up the bases? They're like human cholesterol clogging up the basepath arteries.
Or at least that's what Dusty Baker and Dick Griffin told us.

Robert Pattinson: Splitting With Riley Keough Shows Respect For Kristen Stewart
Rob, you've just proved one more time that you are an impressive human being. Even though you really could date any woman you want after Kristen's transgression, you've chosen NOT to hurt your ex.
Robert Pattinson, many people — men and women — would say that after Kristen Stewart cheated on you, you have every right to date whoever you want.
Robert Pattinson, You Are A Free Man
That's right — you have the right to break the "girl code." The "girl code" compromises that group of unwritten rules that 95% of the female population agrees, should be adhered to. And one of those key "girl code" rules is that a woman shouldn't date one of her good friends' exes.
Similarly, it's considered extremely bad form for a guy to date his ex's friends.
Now Rob, it appeared that you weren't interested in adhering to the code, when you started dating actress, Riley Keough. Not only had she become friends with Kristen when they both starred in 21010's The Runaways, but she and Kristen had remained friends. In fact, such good friends that Riley was invited and attending Kristen's birthday party on June 22, which isn't exactly that long ago.
So when you broke up with KStew after a final blowout, and then started seeing Riley a few weeks later, it was surprising. After all, when you had the choice of any woman in the world, to start seeing — and believe me, millions of women were at your beck and call — why chose someone who was close to Kristen?
Being a guy, and let's face it — guys tend to be less sensitive about these things than women — I can see that you probably just thought, 'well, I kind of like Riley, I'm single, so I'll ask her out.'
Your Situation With Kristen Is Different Than Others
It probably never occurred to you that you might be crossing some invisible line that exists among women, and that dating Riley might be especially hurtful to her versus you seeing someone who was completely out of your circle of friends.
And let's face it Rob, a lot of people — even women — would say that Kristen's deeply regretted cheating episode, nevertheless, dissolved her from receiving any consideration from you on the dating front. After all, you were the injured party and thus all "normal" rules wouldn't apply.
I have to admit that I'm in that camp. After the public heartbreak you endured, you're entitled to date any single woman, in my opinion.
But your situation IS complicated because Kristen was also so publicly and privately remorseful, and you two managed to put your relationship back together for a few months, and had some very happy times together again. You obviously forgave her … to a degree. So the that may have put the "girl code rule", back in force, in some women's minds.
Kristen however, did accept that you were seeing with Riley, without complaint, even though she was incredibly sad and depressed after the split. We heard from sources close to her that she blamed only herself and her cheating for the breakup.
She was only surprised by the suddenness and completeness of the split — since you did cut off seeing her, calling and texting her, completely.
You Don't Owe Kristen, But It's Nice You're Showing Respect
Nevertheless, she abided by your obvious decision to cut off all contact and didn't reach out. It also seemed that she consciously or unconsciously agreed that you were entitled to date Riley, even though she had been her friend.
"In this specific case, Robert owes Kristin nothing. She made the misstep that ended their relationship and he is free to find happiness wherever he can," believes relationship expert from WPLJ radio, Cooper Lawrence.
Despite my and Cooper's opinion, you've now decided to cool your jets with Riley, a source has told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
"He doesn't want to be 'that guy.' He doesn't want the image of him being that he is stealing her friend in the wake of the relationship with Kristen," the insider explains. "He loved Kristen and always will look at her fondly, but he doesn't want to be defined by her, and by dating Riley it would only continue the link to Kristen."
Being Honest With Kristen Was The Right Thing To Do
Rob, you finally saw and discussed all this with Kristen when you went over to her place over the weekend of August 2nd, and had your first face-to-face since the split.
Plus, you surprisingly went above and beyond, taking a thoughtful step forward when you very sweetly spoke to Kristen. "He reassured her that he wasn't going to date her friends and make things more awkward between them, because the breakup is and has been awkward enough," the source told us.
This just tells me Rob, what a stellar and respectful guy you are. Very few men would have the sensitivity to, #1, have had this discussion with their ex, and #2, make this decision and commitment to your ex, not to hurt her more. And especially after she gave you so much pain.
"This just shows what a nice, sensitive, caring guy he is. Any woman would be lucky to have him in their corner," agrees celebrity relationship expert, Dr. Gilda Carle, 30-second therapist of Today.com.
"You know when you're broken up, you're free to date anyone. However, a classy way to behave is to not date your exes' friends."
So Rob, there you have it, and Kristen knows it, too. You were a wonderful boyfriend, but now you're being an A-plus ex. Do you agree HollywoodLifers? Let me know! Would love to hear your thoughts.Follow @BonnieFuller

BG Group makes fourth gas discovery in Tanzania
BG Group announced Monday a fourth Tanzanian gas discovery from the Jodari-1 exploration well located in Block 1 offshore southern Tanzania. Preliminary evaluation of the well results indicates gross recoverable resources are in the range of 2.5 to 4.4 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas.
The partnership of BG Group (60 percent and operator) and Ophir Energy (40 percent) have had exploration successes in all four wells so far drilled in Tanzania, with mean total gross recoverable resources currently estimated to be approaching some 7 tcf of gas.
Jodari-1 is located approximately 24 miles (39 kilometers) offshore southern Tanzania and in a water depth of 3,770 feet (1,150 meters). It is part of the current three-to-four well exploration program, which also includes the acquisition of 965 square miles (2,500 square kilometers) of 3D seismic data in Block 1.
The next target for drilling is the Mzia-1 location in Block 1, some 14 miles (23 kilometers) to the north of Jodari-1. The discoveries announced previously are Chaza-1 in Block 1, and the Chewa-1 and Pweza-1 discoveries in Block 4.

With so many different entertainment options out there for your children, we at PopcornBiz thought we'd take a moment each week to dissect one piece of family entertainment strictly from a parent's perspective, so that you know what parts are appropriate for your loved ones, and which are not. This week's COVER YOUR EYES subject: "Home Alone"
Before he started partying with Michael Jackson and making bad movies with Ted Danson and enraging men the world over by somehow dating Mila Kunis, Macaulay Culkin was winning America's heart as Kevin McAllister, the precocious eight-year-old (is there any other kind of eight-year-old in Hollywood movies?) who liked plain cheese pizza and foiling idiot burglars. "Home Alone" grossed $476 million worldwide and stands as the last classic movie in director/producer John Hughes' filmography. In fact, you can blame "Home Alone" for inspiring Hughes to spend the rest of his career producing lowbrow kiddie fare like "Baby's Day Out".
But let's not go piling on. "Home Alone" may have foisted Chris Columbus upon the world and, in hindsight, ruined Culkin's childhood. But it's also a fine holiday perennial, beloved by audiences for its perfect blend of slapstick comedy and weepy Christmas sentimentality. Let's see if it's okay for your little ones to watch by considering a few factors":
The "Will Parents Be Able To Tolerate It?" Factor: Yes. One of the reasons that "Home Alone" was so successful was, thanks to Hughes' deft touch, the kids in the movie look and act like real kids, which never happens in modern movies. All of that goes out the window toward the end, when Culkin is able to set up elaborate Rube Goldberg traps for his would-be assailants. But in the beginning, there's enough rancor and petty arguing to make the McAllisters a convincing real-life family. That's what gets you rooting for Culkin once all the goofy hijinks begin.
The Dead Parent Factor: None, though "Home Alone" does introduce issues such as parental abandonment and neglect. It's Catherine O'Hara as Kevin's mom that serves as the emotional linchpin of the whole thing, going through the familiar parental cycle of being frustrated with your kid and then being overwhelmed with guilt afterward. Her reunion with Culkin at the end will have you BAWLING, especially with that John Williams score blaring in the background. Stupid John Williams. Must you tug on my heartstrings so?
The Sexy Sex Sex Factor: None.
The Scare Factor: Minimal. Director Columbus goes out of his way to make Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern the least imposing burglars in the history of cinema. In David Fincher's hands, this would have been a horror movie, with Pesci putting Culkin's head in a vice at the end. The only minor scare in the movie comes from that old man Marley next door. But he turns out to be a sweetheart, natch.
The Violence Factor: "Home Alone" is basically a Looney Tunes short come to life. Pesci gets shot in the groin. Stern gets an iron to the face. Pesci burns his hair. Stern gets a tarantula on his face. Again, in another director's hands, this is all terrifying. In this movie? HILARIOUS.
Age Range: 4 and up. You don't want your little ones thinking it's okay to nail each other with paint cans. But otherwise, "Home Alone" is a fairly inoffensive movie. Also, it'll make them hug mom at the end. She'll like that.
Cover Your Eyes: "Home Alone"

Praying For A New Tongue?
Praying For A New Tongue?
Most Folks Can't Handle The One They've Got!
When a prophet named Balaam was headed somewhere the Lord didn't want him to go God sent an angel to block his way. The beast on which Balaam rode was apparently more sensitive to spiritual things than he was. Because the animal kept turning out of the way to avoid the angel, Balaam became frustrated and started beating her.
"And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?" (Num 22:28)
Notice first of all (1) something is speaking that shouldn't be. 2Peter 2:16 says this "dumb (mute) ass" was speaking "with a man's voice." This is not the 1st time you find an animal speaking in the Bible (the serpent spoke to Eve in the Garden) but this is interesting. Notice also, Balaam's ass was a 'she'. In the average charismatic church, I'd say, women do 90% of the tongues speaking. Paul was dealing expressly with the gift of tongues when the Holy Ghost moved him to write:
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (1Co 14:34-35)
Paul knew it was the will of God for the "women to keep silence in the churches" when it came to the matter of tongues. But Paul was also a realist. He knew that people do not like being told what they can and can't do. Paul knew that later on liberal scholars would rise up out of the crevices of Hell and downplay what he had just written. Accordingly, some argue that the prohibition against women speaking in tongues here in 1Corinthians 14 and the qualifications of a pastor in 1Timothy 3 are all just Paul's "opinion." Paul anticipated all of this and wrote verse 37 for everyone who tries to justify their charismatic grandma or one of their friends who happens to be a woman preacher. In an almost sarcastic manner, he says:
"If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." (1Co 14:37)
Paul knew many folks don't care what the Bible says. So he writes in verse 38: "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant." (1Co 14:38)
Secondly, (2) this unnatural behaviour didn't appear strange to Balaam. Any sane person would have found this event beyond bizarre. But remember, Balaam is not right with God. People who are out of fellowship with the Lord are frequently and strangely comfortable in unusual circumstances. For instance, when Jonah was running from God, the Lord sent a storm that nearly destroyed the ship he was in. The heathen sailors were calling on every god they could think of! (It's just natural to pray when you're going thru a storm.) "…But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep." (Jon 1:5) In his backslid condition Jonah seemed immune to his problematic surroundings. If you have the slightest knowledge of the Bible you should know the Holy Ghost won't make you act like a complete fool. If you see nothing wrong with men and women foaming at the mouth and babbling on like idiots, then there's something wrong with you (you're spiritually retarded).
The Mosaic Law demanded that God's people (the Jews) abstain from unclean meats. Many of the Jews continued to observe these dietary laws even after they were converted. They did this more out of habit than necessity. But, in their defense, there was no verse in the Old Testament that said, "After you become a Christian you can eat whatever you want." So in their minds, certain things like pork were still taboo. When Gentiles started getting saved, because of their eating habits, many of the believing Jews were uncertain whether or not they should fellowship with them. (It was hard for them to believe God would bless someone who ate bacon.) On one occasion, because of this mindset, God revealed to the Jewish companions of Peter that He did indeed pour out His spirit upon Jew and Gentile alike.
"While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter," (Ac 10:44-46)
Again the Bible says they spoke with "tongues" (plural) and not with an "unknown tongue" (singular). Tongues were necessary since, as 1Cor 1:22 says, "The Jews require a sign." Until the New Testament scriptures were complete, the sign gifts were necessary for unbelieving Jews. Mark 16:20 indicates the Apostles had been commissioned to confirm (authenticate, backup, or validate) the Gospel with signs. The purpose of tongues was to confirm that God had indeed stretched out His saving arm to the Gentiles.
The word 'tongue' in Scripture refers to either: a language or an actual part of the body known as the tongue. As far as the Bible is concerned, the gift of tongues was the supernatural ability to speak in a language not previously learned. For instance if I was suddenly endowed by God with the ability to speak and understand Japanese, that would be similar to the gift on Pentecost. 1Corinthians 14 gives instruction concerning the utilization of this gift. Many of these rules are violated and completely disregarded in charismatic circles. However, the utter confusion, which "they" refer to as 'speaking in tongues,' is NOT that gift described in the Bible. Tongues, such as in Acts 2 and 10, were known languages and not ecstatic, unintelligible, gibberish.
Some say that "speaking in tongues" is evidence of being filled with the Holy Ghost. Some go even further, saying that you're not even saved if you don't speak in tongues. I strongly disagree. Take Jesus for example. Can you think of anyone more sanctified and Holy than the Lord Jesus Christ? None would ever accuse Him of not being Spirit filled. Yet in my Bible, I never find a single instance where Jesus ever spoke in tongues. If "tongues" is the evidence of having the "baptism of the Holy Ghost", why did the Lord not leave us that example in His life as He did with water baptism and communion? Moving on…
"For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." (1Cor 4:2)
The word "spirit" in this verse is lowercase. It refers to our spirit and not God's Holy Spirit. Notice, the word "unknown' here is italicized, and the word 'tongue' is singular. 'Unknown tongue' refers to any language not understood by others. We are told not to forbid people to speak with 'tongues' (plural) in 1Cor 14:39. However, the Bible does NOT say "Forbid not to speak in the unknown tongue" (singular) this is Bible Doctrine, not merely my opinion.
And as Forest Gump once said, "That's all I got to say about that."

Corsair V Russell Helmet
Arai Corsair V Russell Helmet The Corsair is Arai's flagship model. An Arai helmet is not the product of compromise, of a "profit" point, or a board of directors. An Arai helmet is the product of obsession, an ongoing obsession to design and build the best helmets possible. This year Arai took the Corsair V Replica helmets to a new level. With several new features, you'll see why the world's best wear the Arai Corsair V Helmet. Features: Arai's exclusive, adjustable new AirWing® is designed to greatly reduce drag, turbulence and buffeting resulting in more comfort and additional top-speed. The new wider eyeport required a new, wider faceshield. Called the Series "I" faceshield, it is exclusive to the Corsair-V. The new shield fits even more flush against the shell than the previous Corsair's. Newly equipped with ''Air In Stabilizer'', an additional air intake between the front and rear intake in the diffuser and large toggles. The Air-In ports help accelerate air out the back, increasing airflow without increasing the size of the holes in the shell. The biggest difference between the newest generation of Arai's Hyper-Ridge feature and its predecessors sticks right out at you: Whereas the previous ridge curved in, this one flares out. This results in a larger opening at the helmet's bottom, making the helmet easier to get on and off. Both cheek pads and the neck roll can be removed in seconds thanks to the advanced Emergency Release System. Rescue and medical workers can easily remove the newly designed removable neck roll and the cheek pads by just pulling the pad release tabs. This offers extra room within the helmet, making removal of the helmet much easier and minimizing the risk of additional injury. The Corsair-V's neckroll is now removable and replaceable, and adds an additional exhaust vent through its bottom via shallow channels in the EPS liner, adding yet another ventilation outlet for the removal of interior air.

Doesn't last test of time Review by Lee
Had it for a few years. When to switch the battery and the middle rubber grip fell apart. Crimson claimed the is no fix?!?!
Was offered a one time half off coupon. Way I seenit it's a manufacture defect. A $400+ laser should last a lifetime! I'd stay away from this one. (Posted on 2/17/2020)

A "Godsend" for Southpaws Review by Mike T.
This is what around 12% have been praying and waiting for. My 1911 is my own build with all premium components , and I own the necessary custom gunsmithing tools to build them right. I quit when ATF clamped down on even the "occasional" custom gunsmith. As a lefty, I had learned to adapt but it was a joy to build my ambi 1911. I have CT lasers on all of my defense handguns but on my 1911, I believed the full size of the lefty safety was too important. Therefore, I continued the "thumb-over" approach. This series solved the problem and looks good too. Vey highly recommended. (Posted on 3/12/2016)
Outstanding Review by Lyle
Love them am going to get another master series set in near future. (Posted on 3/7/2016)
Very attractive & high quality Review by Wichita401k
These came on my Kimber 1911 full size. They are great looking, and the firearm is easy to handle with a good grip. They are extremely accurate- I have placed 7 clips in the size of a tennis ball at 30 feet. The triggering mechanism is a little stiff for my taste - requiring a little more pressure than I would like, but once you get used to it it's not a real problem I have similar grips on a Ruger P89. The placement and the pressure required on that set make them a little easier to use. I have Crimson Trace rail mount on two other pistols. Like all of them. Had another brand on one, and have come back to Crimson Trace. (Posted on 1/30/2016)
Perfect addition to my Colt Lightweight Commander! Review by Curt
Great looking and equally great performing grips. Adjustment was perfect right out of the box. Very expensive! This is the 5th set of Crimson Trace lasers that I have purchased, and I am very pleased with each of them. (Posted on 12/10/2015)
Not an exact fit Review by firstname.lastname@example.com
I purchased these laser grips for my new Sig Sauer 1911. What I found when attempting to install was an impingement between the guns slide stop and the top left corner of the new laser grip. However it was nothing that a flat file or a Dremel couldn't remedy. The look and performance of the grips is exceptional. Certainly a quality looking product. I would recommend these grips to any prospective buyer. I will certainly purchase them again for my next pistol. (Posted on 10/25/2015)
Works great Review by Pervis
Easy install. Aligned right out of the box. (Posted on 7/24/2015)
Great Product - One Design weakess Review by OklahomaWayne
I love the concept of these grips. And, they look great on my pistol. I have a slight problem that I will try to work through. This problem has been commented on in reviews by other owners for different guns. My finger doesn't quite line up with the activation switch. The switch falls on the bend of my finger. The switch needs to be bigger from top to bottom to accommodate different sized hands. I am practicing to adjust my grip and to hold the grip a little tighter - like squeeze it to death. (Posted on 7/16/2014)
Look great! Review by Medic124
These grips not only look fantastic on my Kimber Pro Carry II but work great to help with shot placement. My only complaint would be that they can get a tad slippery being that they are smooth on the lower back half of the grip. Otherwise, they are beautiful and function flawlessly. (Posted on 1/3/2014)
Great Looking Grips Review by JonFromKC
Not only are the great looking, but they fit my Springfield 1911 as well as the original grips. They were super easy to install, and they work great!
Nothing to do but just pick up the gun with your normal grip and the laser is illuminated immediately, and on target!
As a home defense gun, I think the laser in itself would probably be enough to scare most unsuspecting intruders away without having to fire the weapon.
I am so impressed and so happy with these grips! (Posted on 6/8/2013)
terrific Review by Walleye
Installed a set today on my CDP Pro.
Love the fact that I didn't have to bob the right safety like I would have with the LG-401.
This is my fifth set of CTC I have put on my guns. Shouldn't have to say anymore. (Posted on 5/12/2013)
Nice Grips Review by Banks
I didn't expect them to look so good. Easy to sight. Easy to activate-like second nature. Good intimidation factor. (Posted on 1/12/2013)
CDP II Review by JOEZYBOY
I have these on my Kimber. They are great. Sight in was 3 shots. 2 for adjustment, 1 for confirmation of point of impact at 16 Yards. Still fit my Galco Concealed Carry holster great. Now waiting for grips for my EMP. They said there are in the works. (Rosewood) 7/24/2012 (Posted on 7/24/2012)

Great look and accuracy Review by Vinnie Thouin
1st thing you will notice is the look these rosewood master series grips give you pistol. The grips give some thickness to your pistol over the stock grips. And the most important thing I can say is that the laser grips give you better accuracy over the iron sights all day long. (Posted on 12/16/2011)

These grips were even better than I expected. First and foremost, they are beautiful. Incredible workmanship, fit, and finish. They installed with minutes. Comfortable grip, accurate, and sighted perfectly out of the box. Everything I had heard about Crimson Trace, and more. (Posted on 12/15/2011)
Great Product Review by UnkaDave
Performs better than advertised. Recoil does not effect zero. Feels good in addition to looking good. I own a total of 6 CTC lasers for all of my carry guns. That includes a Ruger LCP & LCR, and a Sig Sauer P238. The rest are Kimber pistols including the Solo Carry. I hope to somday purchase a CTC laser for my Super Carry Pro. I am very satisfied with all of the CTC laser sights that I own. I have to admit that I have tried other brand name lasers; these are taking up room in the back of my gun safe and they're for sale.
