Okay, THIS is fascinating.
The RSA they are talking about is a measure of heart rate at rest and looks at activity of one of the major cranial nerves. If I'm understanding this correctly, children who are more emotional, negative and positive, when young will have better social/emotional/behavioral skills when older? Interesting!Higher RSA under nonchallenging, calm conditions has been associated concurrently and prospectively with a variety of child behavioral characteristics. For exam-ple, in infancy a higher baseline RSA is associated with more emotional reactivity, including more crying in re-sponse to mildly frustrating events and positive affective reactivity to social interactions; longitudinally, a higher baseline RSA in infancy predicts greater sociability dur-ing the toddler and preschool years (e.g., Fox, 1989; Porges, Doussard-Roosevelt, Portales, & Suess, 1994). Beauchaine (2001) suggested that RSA in infancy reflects the infant's capacity for engagement with the environment, with high RSA associated with greater behavioral, attentional, and emotional responsiveness. Thus, high levels of in-fant responsiveness can be evidenced in more extreme negative and positive emotional reactions but lead to better adaptation over time. Among preschoolers, higher resting RSA is related to higher concurrent social com-petence, better emotion regulation, and lower levels of problem behavior (Blair & Peters, 2003; Calkins, 1997; Doussard-Roosevelt, McClenny, & Porges, 2001; Porges et al., 1994).

That's definitely true with my twins, although they may be still too young to be considered "older." DD had a higher resting heart rate, was (and is) more emotional (both negative and positive) and has better social/emotional/behavioral skills now. When they were little and she was throwing tantrums and biting and grabbing we would not have predicted that by any means.

Ours is "snuggle".
Umm, well we only have two dogs so we often have dog toys around but really my house is clean and organized. DH has a rule of I'm not to buy stuff unless it's going to have a place and we are pretty good about getting rid of stuff we don't want anymore. I do have one small pile in the kitchen but that doesn't get big or DH starts freaking out. And important papers are in the file cabinet....with labeled folders. We are both really kind of organized people and DH is a bit of a neat freak and will clean up stuff if I haven't gotten to it.
So we do know where the papers are...had to show the adoption agency all sorts of things like marriage and birth certificates.
We will see how things change once we get a baby..... LOL
I'm feeling very emotional right now myself. I had a good two weeks and then woke up this morning and had a little cry. Not really for any particular reason that I could pinpoint either. I wonder if it had anything to do with my date last night with hubby. I'm still so confused about our relationship and have a lot of anger/resentment inside. I feel like it will never go away.
Chrissy. You've got a lot of emotions to sort out with your hubby, good and bad. No wonder you don't know how to feel. I think it will just take time.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Hugs, Chrissy. I can certainly relate to mixed feelings regarding the man in your life. You do seem more hopeful, and seem to be getting some tears out. Do you think the meds are helping?
I confess I'm done with all those articles, and sent in my compliance form to my professional organization. Yay! I don't have to do that one again for another 3 years! And I wasn't audited!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Good for you, Gwenn! It must have been a slog, but I bet it's a relief to get it done.
Chrissy, I'm just glad you had a good night. I'm sure it's confusing, but pretty much nothing is all good or all bad. I would grab the moments of happiness when you can find them, without clinging to them to the exclusion of everything else.
Is anyone doing anything fun for NYE that I can live vicariously through? We have a bottle of one of my favorite kinds of champagne chillin' in the fridge, but dh is still so sick that I don't think we'll open it. Or if we do, I'll probably regret it in the morning.
My new sig. picture is when we were in the kiddie pool and I had both twins riding on my back and I was pushing S. around in his little "Crabby" float. All the parents lounging around the edge of the pool with one or no kids were elbowing and whispering to each other. I like to imagine they were saying, "Look, three kids is easy! Maybe we should have a couple more!" or else they were thinking, "Aren't you glad we only have one?" We were all having a ton of fun, though.

Love the new sig pic!
I may have posted this elsewhere, but we're going to a "family-friendly" and kosher New Year's Eve party hosted by my kosher Jewish vegetarian friend. And we have to bring food! The party starts at 6 and for the people who want to "stay up" we're watching the ball drop in NY - which means at 10pm our time! Should be an early night but I haven't seen my friend's older kids in a while. Although I did see her and her son in Bed Bath and Beyond a couple of days before Christmas. It will be fun but I don't know my friends friends well - I'm not sure this is exactly something to live through vicariously. But you're welcome to if you like!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I'm making chicken alfredo pizza (I believe Jennifer gave me that idea in the thread I posted) and fried ravioli. We might watch some Doctor Who, or a movie, and if we're up late enough, probably watch the ball drop. Nothing really exciting, sorry!
Someday I would like to go to Boston or New York for NYE but when it comes down to it, it's just too cold and crowded.
Lydia, I LOVE that picture! I came in here just to tell you Oh and to sort of secretly LOL at the homosexuality thread in the Christian room. I really want to know what Jennifer said that she deleted! And I love Palee's most recent reply. Oh boy, that's just one step away from getting locked down for sure.
Thanks for the compliment, Karen!
And remember, our threads are just as public and accessible as any threads on here, so it's a good idea to remain polite and keep the peace in the rooms where we like to post. I'm sure that if Jennifer deleted a comment, she was probably trying to remember that as well.

L, your siggy pic is awesome! I bet you made having young 3 kids look effortless!
Mandy, we'll be watching the same ball drop We're going to a bar to party. Bobbie is dropping us off and hanging with her friends, then picking us up after. The place has a large (12 foot I think?) screen that they're going to play the ball dropping on. We were there last year & had a great time. I'm a little worried about my ability to remain in those stinking heels with that tight dress without falling and hurting myself, or ripping my dress, or both...but I'm going for it anyway. It looks hot!

Mass Effect 3 co-op multiplayer confirmed [Update]
BioWare won't really be able to tip-toe around this one. Australian magazine PC Powerplay has revealed its next issue's cover, and it proudly touts "Multiplayer comes to Mass Effect 3--Fight alongside your friends as the galaxy goes to war!"
The RPG studio has been incredibly coy about a multiplayer expansion to the popular Mass Effect franchise, offering non-denials like "we're exploring multiplayer in all of our games and all of our franchises."
An online multiplayer pass was discovered for the game one week ago.
"That's right - Mass Effect 3 is getting multiplayer!," the magazine teases (via Eurogamer). "We travel to BioWare's office in Edmonton for hands-on time with the series' first foray into online gameplay, and chat with Mass Effect Series Producer and Mass Effect 3 Project Director Casey Hudson about the decision to go multiplayer in the epic battle for the galaxy."
OXM is also promising "exclusive" details on the game's multiplayer mode.
One rumor pegs the multiplayer offering as a standalone co-op mode, with Horde-inspired battles. Update: Casey Hudson, executive producer of the Mass Effect series, confirms the addition of co-op, promising "they're real, and they're spectacular. Rest assured it's nothing of what you've feared."
Mass Effect 3 will be available on March 6th, 2012.

What makes a vehicle impressive? As a self-described "car buff," I often times wonder the answer to this question, especially as cars evolve along with the technological landscape. Today, some automobiles, like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, come equipped with onboard cameras and radar. They scan the area ahead of the car and if a driver happens to look away, even a second, and something or someone wonders into the path? The brakes are applied instantly without human input. This is an example of technology and safety in one shot – both important and both impressive.
I think about how "impressive" has changed over the years too. One day, those on board cameras will be as typical as the power locks. They will be old hat. Just as it was thought fuel injection was the height of engine advancement. Now it is standard stuff. People today, who walk onto a car lot, don't ask: "what is fuel injection and does this model have it?" However, in the late 80's, it may have been one of the first questions a sales consultant would have encountered from a potential customer. There was a time the incredibly powerful EcoBoost, V6 engine was reserved only for the Lincoln models and a small number of high end Fords. Now, the F-150 carriers the option and the EcoBoost has never seen more press, despite being available on the other models for some time. As other truck makers rush to the line to counter attack with their own engine offerings, what does Ford have in store that is above and beyond even the EcoBoost? What will be the new impressive? And will that new, as yet unseen, above and beyond element, be thought of as commonplace one day?
The answer is most likely, "yes."
It makes me excited to see what the future holds. I imagine, one day, I will tell a younger car buff all of the "impressive" things about my 2013 truck. While I think they are amazing – like the turbo charging – that future car buff may have a different definition of "impressive." And like so, I will be fascinated to learn how he defines it as I hope he will be equally as fascinated how I once did.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Hawks, facing a decision with restricted free agent Jeff Teague, have signed point guard Dennis Schröder, a first-round draft pick from Germany.
The Hawks confirmed Thursday that Teague has signed a 4-year, $32 million offer sheet with Milwaukee, where he would be reunited with former Atlanta coach Larry Drew. The Hawks have three days to match the offer.
General manager Danny Ferry says the team "will make the best decision moving forward for our organization."
Teague, a 4-year veteran and 2-year starter, set career highs with his averages of 14.6 points and 7.2 assists last season.
The 19-year-old Schröder has played professionally in Germany since 2009-10. The Hawks say Schröder asked his name be changed from the English spelling Schroeder, as it was announced at the draft.

So you've made the decision to sell your home. Now what?
It takes a lot of mental preparation to let go of a space you've grown to love, and the process of selling your home can be particularly strange if you are still living in it.
You have to keep your home tidy at all times in order to quickly accommodate your realtor and potential buyers.
Here are some tips that will make your home more presentable to buyers, and also help you prepare to move into your new digs.
- Clear out clutter. If you haven't touched it within the past year, toss it. You can also donate unwanted items to charity if they're too good to trash. Pack up things you plan to take with you and get them out of sight. If necessary, rent a storage space at any of Freehold's storage facilities.
- While you're cleaning your home for viewers, pack up most of your personal photographs. They are distracting to potential buyers and this action will help them see the house as their potential home instead of yours.
- Keep your kitchen clean. That means flowers on your table, no dishes in the sink, no junk on the counters, and no finger smudges around cabinet handles. Pack up everything but the bare essentials from the cabinets so that they are tidy too. If a prospective buyer opens a kitchen cabinet and sees too much stuff, they will think the kitchen is cramped.
- Keep your closets tidy too. Packing little by little will make your final transition easier. Plus, buyers think a tidy homeowner has also taken good care of the place. Lining up shoes, and grouping shirts, pants and dresses together in the closet can also make a big impact.
- Sometimes the old adage "less is more" applies to furniture in your home. Move some things to storage if individual rooms are too crowded. It will make the rooms appear larger.
- If there are window treatments, light fixtures, appliances or other "attached" items you plan to take with you, remove them and replace them before showing your home so that the buyer won't think they are included.
- Freshen up paint and make repairs to things such as torn screens, cracked tiles and rotting windowsills before the realtor even puts the sign up. If the realtor sees potential problems like these, he or she might not make showing your home a top priority.
- If your daughter's room is pink, or your living room is painted a bold color, consider repainting it a more neutral color. Depersonalizing your home allows viewers to use their imaginations and visualize your home as their own. Don't let buyers walk away remembering your home as "the one with the orange bathroom."
- Lighting is everything, so make sure there are no burned out bulbs inside or outside your home, and make sure you have the most complimentary lighting on when your realtor brings over a client. Overhead lights show too many issues and flaws, but a soft lamp in a corner makes a room seem cozy.
- Make the beds, and make them nicely! Don't just toss the pillows on--arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing way.
- Make sure all mirrors, windows, porcelain, faucets and appliances are clean and sparkly!
- Dust and vacuum every single surface, including baseboards, ceiling fan blades, and carpet in the corners of stairs and rooms.
- Choose a fresh scent that doesn't smell too much like bleach to clean tiles, tubs and toilets.
- Little touches like pulling down all window blinds to the same level and making your front entrance inviting set the tone for the way the rest of the house is viewed.
- Outside is as important as inside. Mow grass, trim bushes, and sweep away cobwebs, leaves and dog hair.
- Invest in a potted plant or two to put along your front steps. You won't believe what a difference that little touch of curb appeal will make.
Last but not least, do a walk-through pretending you are a prospective buyer. Note the things that would turn you off and then fix them!
Happy selling!

Life with Dystonia
By Ellen L. Weisberg, PhD
Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder, next to Parkinson's disease and Tremor, affecting at least 300,000 people in North America. It is a neurological condition that results in sustained and involuntary contractions of opposing muscles, which leads to spasmodic movements, twisting, and abnormal stances. Like Parkinson's disease, dystonia is believed to be due to an abnormality in the basal ganglia of the brain, where movement is controlled.
The symptoms of dystonia first surfaced when I was in the middle of a radio shift, getting ready to record what I thought would be another effortless 30-second broadcast in a string of reports. Halfway through it, the left side of my mouth started twisting inward, making it difficult for me to talk. At the time, I remember wondering if there was something with my delivery style that had- over time- become subtly different… Was my chair too high or too low and I was straining my neck to get to the microphone? Did it have to do with the amount of gesturing I was doing with my hands when I talked?
As time went on, though, the difficulties I was having with my broadcasting increased, and getting the job done comfortably and in a timely fashion was becoming more and more of a struggle. My coworkers thought that maybe I was having sudden "stage fright," or that it was simply stress that was causing this, since my conversational speech away from the microphone seemed normal. It was only when I saw a neurologist that the situation became clearer: I was diagnosed with a "focal dystonia," which targets a specific part of the body and usually afflicts people at mid-life. My condition, "task- specific oromandibular dystonia," causes the jaw to either be clamped shut or held open and is brought on at least in part by repetitive movements. I had been doing two and a half years of daily broadcasting for hours on end, repeating similar phrases and articulating in a way that was different from my regular, away-from-the-microphone speech. I tried to return to broadcasting several times when the symptoms of the dystonia had temporarily quieted down, only to have to quit again when the condition would relapse. The symptoms eventually slipped over into my conversational speech, and there were times they were so debilitating that I thought I'd never be able to hold a normal conversation again.
I had consulted a second neurologist who prescribed Artane, an anticholinergic agent that improves muscle control in Parkinson's patients. After a brief honeymoon, "fool's gold"-kind of experience with the drug that lasted only a few days during which my speech seemed more effortless, the Artane lost its effects. My neurologist also tried administering Botox injections on the side of my mouth where muscles were twisting in such a way as to make speaking difficult. However, it was shortly after the injections that the condition relapsed to the point where I could barely talk at all. Continuing...

Ubisoft's New PC DRM Really Requires Net Access, Ends Game If DisconnectedBy Chris Faylor, Feb 17, 2010 1:20pm PST Ubisoft wasn't kidding when it said that its new digital rights management technique mandates "an active Internet connection to play the game, for all game modes."
Advance copies of the first two games to embrace the new solution--Assassin's Creed II PC and The Settlers 7 PC--recently arrived at PC Gamer, leading to the discovery that the games automatically shut down if temporarily disconnected from the Internet.
In the case of Assassin's Creed II PC, a single-player game, players will lose any progress since the last checkpoint in the event that they briefly lose their connection to Ubisoft's master servers, be it because of client-side or server-side issues.
Other aspects of the new system include a lack of disc checks and installation limited, along with the ability for saved games to be stored in a server-side cloud. "Most upcoming Ubisoft PC games will make use of this system," according to the company, which has also promised to patch in offline support when or if the system shuts down.

By: haysoos x Show Full PostPenny-arcade has wieghed in on this debate with a new comic that makes a very good point: If you pirate this game to avoid the DRM, you are feeding "the drm beast" and only justifying their draconian practices. Just like I assert that their use of draconian practices is feeding piracy.
There is a cycle, and the only way to break it is for one side to stop. If we don't buy the game, and don't pirate it either, it will send a very solid message. If we just pirate it, we are only feeding their excuse for the DRM, thus we are bringing the DRM on ourselves.
But whatever, people will do what they do, few gamers have actual conviction, at least enough to not play a good game because of principles. So I predict that the cycle will continue, devs will complain about piracy, and gamers will complain about "gimped" product and draconian DRM.
I used to take a side on the issue, claiming that DRM was killing PC gaming, but now I realize thats not true; we are all killing PC gaming. All of us, the devs and the gamers. When you finally step back and see the big picture, you'll see that It's an amazing joint effort, with niether side willing to move an inch.Feb 19, 2010 8:27am PSTPenny-arcade has wieghed in on this debate with a new comic that makes a very good point: If you pirate ... : haysoos

By: terylene x Show Full PostMy first reaction to this is that I don't really care. I'm sure I'll still manage to play the game. If my connection or the Ubi server goes down, I'll just post some angry comments on the relevant forums or send an angry email, then play something else. I've certainly done that before about different issues so it's nothing new really, and when the game is working again I'll play it again. I can accept that the world isn't perfect, and I can certainly accept that computers are a long way from perfect, I have plenty of experience of computer problems not related to DRM. If you don't know that the world isn't perfect and that computers aren't perfect then the sooner you learn that they aren't the better for you, or you'll always be living in a state of constant frustration. One always needs coping strategies. You can pressurise Ubi to do what you want but you can't pressurise the whole world to do what you want. There is so much benefit to being flexible and having coping strategies, I recommend it to everyone. You may say we shouldn't let Ubi get away with this but I don't see it as being that onerous or draconian, from my point of view it isn't, I expect it will all work fine, and I don't think it means things will necessarily get even worse in the future, and if they do I will protest them when that happens, but I don't think this is particularly bad in itself. There are worse injustices than this in the world.Feb 19, 2010 10:45am PSTMy first reaction to this is that I don't really care. I'm sure I'll still manage to play the game. If my... : terylene

By: pixelateddoc x Show Full PostIf this DRM would actually work and thwart illegal downloading (even delaying the inevitable for a few months) then I'm all for it. But it doesn't. I see some are saying they're OK with this if it's going to prevent it from showing up on torrent sites, but it won't.
The argument goes something like "What's the big deal? I mean who doesn't have high speed internet nowadays?" But that's missing the point. What about customers who just want to be able to use their software the way they want to? Playing a single player game without being connected to the internet doesn't seem all that unreasonable but apparently Ubisoft doesn't think so. What about laptop users and others who aren't able to be connected to the internet all the time?
Look at what EA\Bioware did with Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2. They learned the first time that all the InSecuROM DRM did was cost a lot of money and thoroughly piss off paying customers and passionate fans. I had to download a crack for the first Mass Effect about a month after I bought it because EA said I had reached my limit and were dragging their feet with issuing more activations. There wasn't even a revocation tool for the first year and a half that Mass Effect was out. So while waiting for EA support to get back to me via e-mail I just said screw it. Very sad.
This whole thing is so illogical. However if EA can learn a lesson there is yet hope for UbiSoft. Thankfully Ubi makes crap games for the most part so I won't be missing much by not buying their buggy ass games.Feb 18, 2010 8:44pm PST

By: Loxodrome x Show Full PostI don't think this ends well for Ubisoft, but it won't end well for gamers either. There's a limit to how far you can push the consumer, and Ubisoft has crossed it.
First, there will be negative reviews in the media, which publishers take very seriously. Second, upon launch, the system is not going to work very well. Forget about activation, you can't even play without a persistent connection, so imagine the Steam launch in 2004 amped up to 11.
Consumer outrage will come through on customer service channels. Many customers will not be able to play the game they paid for whenever they want because of net congestion, server overload, port forwarding, etc. Someone will inevitably file a class action suit.
Now Ubisoft has to fend off bad press, pissed off customers, and litigious consumers simultaneously. My bet is that they scrap the system within a year. The end result? Ubisoft slips against the competition, blames the PC market, and PC games become even more of an endangered species.

By: Johnnsen x Show Full PostTo everyone saying this is needed to help PC gaming and cure the infection of piracy I ask two things:
1. How comes that Valve is so well in business with games like Left4Dead without having to use stuff like this?
2. Can you name one thing that successfully prevented piracy only in the slightest that is more than a CD check?
I believe the cd/dvd check is the only thing that prevented something, as it didn't allow people to just copy stuff of of a CD and give it to a friend.
Everyone who goes on the internet to find a pirated copy on torrents or where ever is going to find it. These people are one step further. They aren't the kind of people who go like "Oh crap I can't copy it now I have to buy it". None of these measures prevent piracy, they may slow the crack coders down for 2 hours, but then its available and everyone who wants to get it gets it.
Only difference being the company spent a lot of money on DRM and there are probably even more people either not buying it or pirating it because they get the better product in the end, not having to deal with this hook up your ass.
I'm sad that these games are now off my list, I was interested in the new Settlers and was going to buy them both.
And piracy is not a new thing, it was always there and will always be there. People bootlegged vinyls, copied CDs and tapes to other tapes, and guess what? Industry still lives.
Some of the older people may remember how the record industry went all teary eyed explaining to us that tape recorders are killing the business. Sure, this may be a whole new scale, (but so are the sales I guess), but it is essentially the same thing. And companies like Valve seem to show how to do it right. They have their DRM in place, it doesn't work 100 % but its not a complete pain in the ass either, offers offline support and more functionalities besides "being checked and x rayed".
If you don't agree, fair enough, something might have come off as a little extreme but I'm very disappointed at the route PC gaming is taking. Remember the outcry when Half Life 2 needed Steam?Feb 18, 2010 4:10am PSTTo everyone saying this is needed to help PC gaming and cure the infection of piracy I ask two things: ... : Johnnsen
By: p34nk x Show Full PostWow, this is really sounds...awful...to be honest.
I am going to sadly cancel my preorder. I am not going to have to deal with crappy DRM like this when the bootlegged version might already out a week before and/or at the same time, plus it didnt require stuff like this to run.
Dont mistake me for a pirate, I bought all the Ubisoft games on PC (yes, including that great Chaos Theory with the super crappy Starforce DRM) and all the games before this that doesnt even have any copy protection rather than cd-check and I was super happy until I see this. Way to treat your customer well, Ubi. And to think that I am waiting for the PC version for this, including Settlers and Splinter Cell.
Might as well rent the game and return it on console (although I prefer PC, really). At least I dont have to friggin stay ONLINE all the time when I play it. Yes, my place stupidly has connection issues most of the time for some reason. Comcastic!Feb 18, 2010 7:18am PSTWow, this is really sounds...awful...to be honest.

By: Fj00 x Show Full PostI predict that in a few years Ubisoft will require you to become an "authorized user" by making an appointment for a Ubisoft representative to come and take a DNA sample every time you purchase one of their games. The rep will then install a machine that will continuously draw blood and must be kept on whenever you play their games. If your blood ever fails to match the DNA sample on record, or your internet connection fails, the machine automatically injects you with AIDS. And we will all be looking back on these current events as "the good old days."

By: higround x Show Full PostThe more cynical part of me says this is a deliberate measure they don't want to sell PC games as it's not profitable, they want to screw over the PC user base so they can write it off all together and concentrate on the profitable console market. The excuse of piracy is their justification for this.
I am not saying that games aren't pirated but I think there has been a gradual shift over the years with the further implementation of more and more hideous DRM leading to an increase in piracy. The increase of a more tech aware youth has most likely helped facilitate this.
I truly believe now we are in a situation where we are at the tipping point either Developers/Publishers have the balls to say we not going to use DRM, or they write off PC development anything in between is an exercise in futility. There will always be exceptions to this the MMORPGS, and other PC centric games but the golden age of PC gaming is over, console is now King and that makes me sad. I've always believed PC gaming was the way forward if you wanted superior controls and graphics, (again notable exceptions here, street fighter etc was made for console gaming), trying to play an FPS on a console though...

PLAYERS: Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Vijay Singh, Bobby Jones, David Duval, Chris DiMarco, Phil Mickelson, Tom Kite, Retief Goosen
Tiger Woods still thinks he can grab the title of greatest golfer ever from Jack Nicklaus, even at age 37 and nearly five years removed from his most recent major win (the 2008 U.S. Open). It has also been several years since his 2009 life/career meltdown, so some golf fans aren't old enough to remember just how great and dominant Tiger Woods once was. There really was a time when Woods ran the golf world, and Augusta National was his house. Woods is a four-time champion at Augusta, and spent a chunk of the last decade making history nearly every time he showed up for The Masters. And since he is finally a favorite to win The Masters once again this year, we have created a list of Tiger's five greatest moments at Augusta National and The Masters. 5.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The mayor of Hartford, Conn., is allowing a
barber to continue giving haircuts in a city park despite orders for him
to leave from police and health officials.
A spokeswoman for Mayor Pedro Segarra says he is
granting Anthony "Joe the Barber" Cymerys a special dispensation in
light of his years of charitable work. The spokeswoman, Maribel La Luz,
said Thursday the city will help Cymerys obtain a state barber's license
if he likes.
The 82-year-old Cymerys has been giving free
haircuts to the homeless in exchange for hugs for 25 years at Bushnell
Park. He says officials confronted him this week and ordered him to
leave because he did not have a permit.
City officials say residents had expressed concerns about sanitation.

Comments On May 10, 2012:I bought the 1/4" drive size and discovered how much easier this is to use on a bike compared to a standard 90 degree wrench. Makes work so much quicker for oil changes and any other maintenance on your bike.
Took down one star because my craftsman sockets aren't confidently tight fitting with this wrench for high torquing (30nm+) bolts
