Love Your Liver -- Live As Lover
19 people found the following review helpful
Posted by The3Treasures on Apr 12, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
In Chinese medicine, green foods are said to be beneficial to your liver by nourishing and harmonizing the liver. In western medicine, green foods are said to detoxify the liver so that the liver can serve its function as the strong fat burner for the body. The chlorophyll found in green foods has extracted energy from the sun and we eat these greens to energize ourselves and to preserve the longevity of our own cells. The green plants have done all the work for us, and Madre Labs has brought us some of the most prestigious plants in the kingdom that specialize in ways to restore us -- cleanse our fatty livers, lose some weight, gain some energy, detoxify our bodies. Thank You IHerbs, Thank You Madre Labs. I found Midori Greens on IHerbs and I am never without this product. I have so many stories from my friends and clients about this product. One friend and I talk about Midori Greens at least once a week. She recently hoarded this product when it was sold at $14.95 on a short-date sale. She bought 5 containers and found that she received non-short dated containers. She's so caught up in the benefits that she's received. Here are some of the benefits: Her eye inflammation has healed (she was under a doctors care and had to get injections around her eyes that made her look quite scary; she's refused the injections, but has not told her doctor why -- her secret is Midori greens). Her uterine fibroid has shrunken significantly, and her gallbladder issues have all but disappeared. No other lifestyle practice had been added or changed in her life, but she's been able to see these significant changes in herself and so has everyone else. All of her improvements make sense according to what I've learned studying Chinese medicine. I am a slimmer, more agile person and I believe it was adding the Midori greens to my diet and other lifestyle practices that has made the difference.
Feel energised after taking this!

I bought this because of the good reviews and Midori Greens certainly delivers. I take a scoop every morning mixed with a little fruit juice and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil and it gives me energy for the whole day. Sometimes when I feel tired or on the verge of getting a cold I take a scoop on its own mixed with half a glass of water and I feel better almost immediately. The taste is not bad taken on its own. Taste better than wheat grass which I was taking peviously. Now I switch to Midori Greens because it gives me better energy and is also a Super food.
Excellent product

I take this with my Immune Punch every morning and I feel like my body is getting the best nutrition possible. I'm not a huge pill popper, so to be able to mix a couple of spoonfuls of this in my juice every morning is very convenient and really suits my lifestyle. The combination of mixing all the powders creates a super nutrient like drink. Like I said in my other review, if I forget to take any of my other vitamins, I feel good knowing that I covered my bases with this drink.
It is the quality

HARRISONBURG, Va., May 2, 2013 With just one weekend remaining in the regular season, the James Madison softball team returns home this weekend to host Georgia State for a three-game Colonial Athletic Association series at Veterans Memorial Park. JMU and GSU play a doubleheader on Friday beginning at 4 p.m. and close the series with a single game on Saturday with first pitch set for 1 p.m.
Friday's doubleheader is available on MadiZONE free video while Saturday's season finale is available as an audio-only broadcast.
The Dukes come into the weekend trailing Hofstra by a half game in the conference standing. The team that finishes first earns the right to host next weekend's CAA Championship. Assuming both series are played in full, Madison needs to finish one-game better than Hofstra this weekend to claim the regular season championship.
Towson plays at Hofstra and has won 12 straight and 13 of its last 14 games.
This weekend JMU also celebrate senior day as four Dukes are playing their final regular season games at Veterans Memorial Park. Outfielder Jasmine Butler (Winter Garden, Fla./West Orange), infielder Haley Johnson (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run) and Kaitlyn Barbour (Nokesville, Va./Brenstville District) and catcher Megan Shinaberry (Davie, Fla./McCarthy) will be recognized before Saturday's game.
This year's senior class has posted a 119-95 record overall and a 49-30 mark in the CAA. They have qualified for the CAA Championship three times, advancing to the semifinals twice. Their 15 wins in CAA play in both 2012 and 2013 are tied for the second most in school history with this year's team having a chance to break the record with a sweep over the Panthers.
In addition to a record of conference wins, JMU is within striking distance of several other team and individual records. With a sweep this weekend, the Dukes set a record for most wins in a season (38- 2007). The team can also break a record for most home runs in a season with four this weekend. This year's team has 39 while the 2007 team hit 42.
Butler comes into the weekend tied for the school record for career hits. She tied Katie George (2004-07) with her 226th career hit last weekend. Butler also moves into second on the school's all-time games played and games started list if she starts twice this weekend. She would pass Ashlee Schenk (2002-05) in both categories and would only be behind George.
Freshman pitcher Jailyn Ford (Hot Springs Va./Bath County) trails Meredith Felts' (2006-09) record for strikeouts in a season by three. She also needs two shutouts to break Felts' single-season record and to tie her for the most complete games in a year.
Ford and sophomore utility player Sarah Mooney (Huntersville, N.C./North Mecklenburg) both enter the weekend with 12 home runs on the season and trail the single-season record by one (Ashley Burnham 13 in 2011).
The Panthers (36-16, 13-5 CAA) have won ten consecutive games, including a 10-7 win over No. 23 Georgia. In CAA play, the Panthers have won seven straight with sweeps of Drexel and Delaware over the last two weekends. On the road, the Panthers are 11-6 this season.
The Georgia State lineup is powered by catcher Callie Alford, who leads the team with a .342 average and 43 RBIs, adding ten home runs. Centerfielder Jessica Clifton is hitting .337 with 30 RBIs and 31 runs scored. Clifton earned CAA Player of the Week honors last week after batting .533 (8-15) with nine RBIs, including a walk-off RBI single against Delaware. Lead-off hitter Taylor Anderson is hitting .305 with a team-best 41 runs scored.
In the circle, the Panthers are led by the pitching duo of Kaitlyn Medlam and Katie Worley. Medlam is 18-6 with a team-best 2.47 ERA in 172 2/3 innings. Worley holds a 15-9 record with a 3.12 ERA and .223 batting average against. Worley received CAA Rookie of the Week honors after compiling a 3-0 record last week including a victory against No. 23 Georgia.
Roger Kincaid is in his third season as head coach of the Panthers, amassing a 110-59 record during his tenure.
The Dukes are 9-18 all-time against the Panthers. Last year, JMU won two out of three games at Georgia State during the regular season, but lost twice to Georgia State in the conference tournament to end the season.

NBA Athlete & Speaker
Christian Speaker Adrian Branch is a former NBA World Champion, playing for the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. Now retired, Adrian travels to schools, churches, and prisons sharing his testimony with youth.

Adrian Branch is a former NBA World Champion. During Adrian's senior year in high school, he played in the McDonald's High School All-American Game alongside future NBA greats Chris Mullen, Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing. It was a game of highlights for him, capped off by an unexpected MVP Award over Michael Jordan. Adrian then attended the University of Maryland, where he helped guide the Terrapins to the 1984 ACC Championship. Adrian finished his collegiate career as the second all-time leading scorer at the university. In 2004, Branch was honored at the ACC Tournament as an "ACC Legend."
Drafted in the second round by the Chicago Bulls in 1985, Adrian eventually went on to win the NBA World Championship in 1987 with the Los Angeles Lakers, a team that included Hall of Famers Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and Head Coach Pat Riley. Over the next several years, Adrian rounded off his professional basketball career in Spain, France, Monaco, Australia, Thailand, Philippines, Israel, Turkey and the Dominican Republic.
But Adrian found his true calling in ministry. Thanks to a teammate's witness, Adrian became a believer in 1993, and three years later he signed on with Sportsworld Ministries, a Christian organization that sends former professional athletes to share their testimonies in schools, churches, prisons and foster homes. In the following five years, Adrian spoke to over a half-million young people and served with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Young Life, Youth for Christ, Youth With A Mission (YWAM), Athletes in Action (AIA) and Sports Power International.
In 2004, Adrian returned to the NBA with the league's newest franchise, the Charlotte Bobcats, analyzing the action for the team as their Television Color Analyst. But he continues to speak to various ministries throughout the year.
It was 1993. I was in my second season playing professional basketball in Australia. On my team I had the joy of playing alongside one of my friends from back home in the Washington, DC area. My teammate, Michael Morrison, and I knew each other well, and were always talking about real life issues. There was something about Mike's life that was different from the old days. I wanted to know what "IT" was that he possessed. As we talked about life he said to me, "Adrian, God isn't impressed with your championship ring, PUT IT DOWN. God isn't impressed that you've played for Prince Albert of Monaco PUT IT DOWN. God isn't impressed that you've played with and against some of the worlds most rich and famous athletes PUT IT DOWN. The only way God will be impressed and pleased with you is to put your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior."
Alone in my bedroom that night, that's exactly what I did! I knelt down beside the bed and prayed a simple prayer with all my heart, asking Jesus to forgive me, save me and guide me. The next day, I was walking in the downtown area and saw a piece of crumpled paper on the sidewalk. My thought was to pick up this paper because I knew without looking at it there was scripture written on it. To my amazement, the paper read, Luke 14:33 ("If any of you doesn't give everything he cannot be my disciple").
As I continued to grow in my faith, my bible was like fire to me as I read it early each morning. I could sense my life was changing. The Lord was moving me in a whole new direction. God reveled evidence of his plan for me when I received a phone call from Bill Alexson, a man I had met during my years in the NBA. Bill was the chaplain for the Boston Celtics and had developed a unique ministry taking professional athletes to share their testimonies at sporting events. He told me about a ministry similar to his own that was seeking former athletes to share their faith in churches and schools. I realized this was my true calling in life.
Ever since February 1993, I now have the "IT" that I saw in Mike years ago. I know who I am is much more than a celebrated athlete. I smile when I look back from where God has brought me. Taking life one day at a time in faith truly assures me I am a "World Champion!"

Dystopia Tastes Like Candy
Musical Artist: Tree Dweller (aka David L. Woodrum Jr.)
Run Time: 4 minutes, 5 seconds
"Aren't you glad the computers have taken over now, I know I am..... (static).... our system is great, just great.... (sounds of footsteps in the background, followed by static)"
An odd track for an odd setting... a world of dystopia under the guise of utopia... a seemingly perfect environment, yet flawed.
Excellent score music for a cyberpunk, most modern, early sci-fi role playing setting.
Give it a listen before buying... ;)

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
If you're looking for a high quality plasma TV, you don't have to spend a mint. All of the TVs we've listed here can be bought in a 50in size, without any haggling, for under $2000. What's even better is that this list includes some of the best TVs of 2010 — the excellent Panasonic TH-P50VT20A and Samsung Series 7 (PS50C7000). Some even have 3D, and most can watch video-on-demand from the Internet. Take a look through and you'll find a plasma TV you'll be happy with.

Confused about the difference between HDMI and DVI, component and composite? Our giant cable buying guide will set you straight.
Have a look at what we thought were the best TVs of 2010.
Panasonic's TH-P50VT20A 3D-ready plasma television is an excellent performer. It has exceptionally good contrast and detail levels, making it an easy choice if you want the absolute best image quality from your television.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

RIDGWAY – Ridgway Mayor John Clark opened the regular March council meeting on March 13 with a proclamation that was not on the agenda.
He had invited Jen and Randy Charrette, parents of the slain 2-year-old, so much on everyone's minds recently, because he wanted them to know that the town was designating Feb. 15 Axel Charrette Day (Axel was born on Feb. 15, 2011).
"As mayor, I wanted to find a way to remember Axel. We will have a plaque made to be placed somewhere in town, somewhere of your choice. And we look forward to a wonderful celebration on that day," Clark said.
Councilor Rick Weaver added an idea of his own. "You know we have that kids/beginner-type [mountain bike] trail out at Weaver Park. Maybe it would be appropriate to call it Axel's Loop."
The Charrettes, with members of their immediate family, some of whom had flown in from as far as Australia for Axel's memorial service the evening before, thanked council with tearful smiles.
Concurring with the complaints of several citizens, the Ridgway Town Council last week voted unanimously to send a letter to San Miguel Power Association questioning the electric co-op's decision, effective April 1, to charge households an additional $300 per year should they choose to opt out of the new smart meter technology.
"I totally agree with you that this is not a fair fee," said Mayor John Clark. "And while I appreciate that taking meter readers' trucks off the highway hugely reduces greenhouse gasses, it seems the fee is totally out of proportion with the benefits to SMPA."
One ratepayer suggested the letter ask for a board meeting "here, in Ridgway, where their offices are," in addition to the scheduled public meeting in Nucla. "That's a 200-mile round trip for someone from Silverton," he said, in order to voice an opinion before SMPA's board.
"Yes," added Councilor Jason Gunning, "get them to explain the math. Why is it that big of a fee?"
Ridgway Town Attorney John Kappa presented a draft ordinance to the council last week that would adjust the town's medical marijuana regulations to accommodate legalized recreational marijuana, as anticipated by Amendment 64.
His draft met with confusion and some resistance, particularly to the number of new marijuana business licenses that would be allowed.
"I assume you want to limit the number of licenses," Kappa said, and council agreed. Currently, the town can issue a maximum 12 medical marijuana licenses: for four dispensaries, four associated grow operations and four infused-product manufacturers. Kappa's draft ordinance would allow 12 more "in four categories: grow, dispense, infused, and, a new category, marijuana testing."
"I personally would feel more comfortable to wait and see what the state [task force] will do" this spring, said Councilor Jim Kavanaugh. "Didn't Ouray pass a moratorium? I think there was a lot of wisdom in that."
"The only thing the City of Ouray passed was a moratorium on private smoking clubs," said Mayor John Clark.
"That's right," Kappa said. "Clubs are not addressed in this [draft] ordinance. Amendment 64 doesn't allow smoking in public. But when does a private place become a public place?"
The council voted unanimously to pass the ordinance minus Section 2, on the number of licenses allowed. "Let's wait and see what the state comes up with," said Clark.
"There is no urgency on this," Kappa said, on deciding the number of new licenses. "Section One, which just deals with zoning, will bring us into compliance with state law."
There is currently one licensed grow-op in the county and a related dispensary in Ridgway town limits.
Councilor Jason Gunning reminded council that time is short for college-bound students to apply for the town's $1,000 scholarship. The application deadline is April 13, Gunning, who is also a teacher at Ridgway Secondary School, said. The winner will be announced at the school's awards banquet May 22.
"It's a super simple application," Gunning said, "with an essay on how specifically you have served the community of Ridgway." Last year's scholarship went to RHS senior Sam Middleton, who helped build the town's new skate park.
The idea, Gunning said, is to encourage community involvement by local young people.
Mayor John Clark reported to council last week about conversations with John Foy, owner of Ridgway Lodge and Suites, who is "demanding a pedestal sign" along Highway 550 for his motel. Clark explained that Ridgway's commercial sign code "requires that signs be put on buildings, not on pedestals, or poles."
The recent construction of a Family Dollar store next door has prevented drivers at the Hwy 62 intersection from seeing the lodge's sign. Family Dollar has since paid to have the motel's sign moved to the west edge of the building, making it visible from the stoplight. "But they have also planted trees, which will some day obscure the motel sign. And, bottom line, [Foy] wants his pedestal sign." Should we accommodate him? Clark asked.
"It's commerce. I'm OK with it," said Councilor Jason Gunning.
"There are still lots of [undeveloped] lots there" on the east side of the highway, said Councilor Ellen Hunter. "You could have pole after pole, like Montrose" once the precedent was set.
Citizen Tom McKinney said, "You're talking about a change that is radical."
Clark suggested drafting a letter to Foy "saying we will resolve the trees issue, and that the town is working on new commercial design guidelines, but there is nothing we can do further at this time."
Ridgway Town Clerk Pam Kraft brought up what might have been a ticklish situation at last week's regular council meeting: which councilor, among the four newly seated, would draw the short straw and serve only a one-year term?
Kraft cancelled the April municipal election because only four people – all incumbents –applied to run for the four vacant seats.
Three of those seats are for full two-year terms. But the one to which Bo James Nerlin was appointed last year will be up again in just one year. In an actual election, the new councilor with the lowest vote total would take the shorter term.
Councilor Jim Kavanaugh raised his hand and volunteered for the one-year term. "I feel bad that nobody else applied," Kavanaugh said.
"That's because they think we're doing a good job," said Mayor John Clark. "The only times we've had a lot of contested seats is when they're mad at us."

TAKOMA PARK – After a nine-month search, the city of Takoma Park has a new city manager.
Brian Kenner, the chief operating officer for the Deputy Mayor's Office of Planning and Economic Development for Washington, began his new job as Takoma Park city manager June 23.
"We believe that Mr. Kenner's strengths in the area of public-private partnerships, budget and finance, and economic development are well suited to provide the city with the leadership needed as we move into the future," said Mayor Bruce Williams. "Mr. Kenner brings a wealth of experience in the areas of strategic planning, staff relations and collaboration as well. We believe that his addition will be beneficial for our community."
The selection process began with a committee of citizens who created criteria based on factors such as financial and government experience.
The search was opened to applicants outside of Takoma Park. Deputy City Manager Suzanne Ludlow, who served as acting city manager until Kenner arrived, was among 70 applicants from as far away as California to apply for the position. Kenner was chosen from five finalists.
"I think the first thing I said I was going to do during the interview process was really going out and listening to the community stake holders, the councilmembers, listening to the agency directors, hearing what they think about how things are going, where there are challenges, or opportunities, I really think that is where I can be helpful is in trying to deal with things people think can be challenging also trying to bring structure to be supportive of additional opportunities that can brought up here in Takoma Park," Kenner said.
Kenner, an Iowa native who lives in Washington with his wife, received his B.A. in biology in 1996 and a master's of public policy in financial analysis and economic development from Harvard University in 1998. Kenner moved to Washington after receiving a presidential management fellowship that afforded him the opportunity to work for several agencies in the federal government.
Kenner also has experience in housing privatization, creating affordable housing and working with foreclosed properties.
At his most recent job, Kenner managed more than 60 employees, and he handled an operating budget of $42 million and a capital budget of more than $160 million. He also served as the chief real estate, policy, budget and operations adviser to the deputy mayor for planning and economic development.
Kenner said one of his first tasks is to hold meetings with citizens, shareholders, employees and elected officials to find out their opinions on things that are working in the city and things that may need improvement. Through his research, Kenner learned there is a high level of satisfaction with city services. Kenner is still meeting with citizens to determine the city's needs.
"We are a government and we are paid by residents and tax payers, and so ultimately, I have to judge, and I think every city manager has to judge and every city employee, at least a part of their success on how responsive are we to the community in which we serve, how satisfied are residents with the services," Kenner said. "That has got to be a large part of how I would judge success. On the other side, where there are additional opportunities that haven't been as concretely explored today that they put the city in a good position a few years from now some of the long term more strategic things, which I will be collecting information on as I continue this job."

Founded by concerned waterfowlers in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has taken a continental, landscape approach to wetlands and waterfowl conservation. Guided by sound science and supported by legions of dedicated volunteers and members, DU has conserved more than 13 million acres of waterfowl habitat across North America.
DU's mission is to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people. The majority of the remaining wetlands in the United States are on private land, where a large majority of all waterfowl are raised. To further our mission, DU supports balanced agricultural policy that can help American farmers and ranchers to be more competitive and successful in fulfilling local, national, and global needs for food, fiber, and energy. In addition, DU supports agricultural policy that conserves soil, water, wetlands, grasslands, and forests upon which both people and wildlife depend. The Farm Bill is the most effective tool for conserving wildlife habitat on private land, and it's DU's objective that both waterfowl and their habitats benefit from this policy.
Latest Farm Bill Update: Congress has passed the 2014 Farm Bill, ending a three-year struggle.
The bill includes the conservation and sporting community's top priorities of re-coupling conservation compliance to crop insurance and a Sodsaver program affecting the top duck producing states of Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. Read more.
DU has a long history of working with ranchers, farmers, and other private landowners across the country to enhance and restore millions of acres of critical waterfowl and other wildlife habitat. The agricultural conservation programs that are authorized and funded through the Farm Bill are the backbone of DU's cooperative conservation work with our partners in agriculture. Thus, it's critical that programs like the Conservation Reserve Program and Wetlands Reserve Program are adequately funded to sustain our traditions of waterfowl conservation and waterfowl hunting.

I like spikor. He looks neat.
As an artist in dire need of progression samples for his portfolio (and a dire need to get the hell out of call-center work) I wracked my brain with what to do to fill this gap, and figured what better way to tackle it than to put my own childhood memories to good use. With TRANSFORMERS, G.I. JOE and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE to choose from, I figured why not choose that which really hasn't seen the most use in terms of being completely re-imagined during the resurgence of the same 3 lines.
I plan on re-designing all of the basic figures that were released during the original 80's line (no BATTLE ARMORS or THUNDER PUNCHES here) so this will be going for a while. Not to mention I may throw in my re-interpretations of CASTLE GRAYSKULL, SNAKE MOUNTAIN and the FRIGHT ZONE (possibly even the SLIME PIT), so yeah I'll be doing this for a while

I like spikor. He looks neat.
Both look great.
I like the techniques you use.
I think the greens on Moos-Man are to bright. I really like his belt buckle and the mace.
Spikors armor is awesome and i like that he slobbers Great little detail.
As for the slobbering Spikor, well, he is a villain and a monster, it just didn't feel right having him slobberless. Didn't want to go VENOM-esque with him slobbering, so a little dribble seemed apprpriate
I can dig it!

Spikor is fantastic! I love to see redesigns.
These are both spectacular! Very thoughtful renditions that are unique and fresh but stay true to the characters. This is the sort of attention to detail and thought I wish DC had exercised when redesigning the characters.
Spikor's retractable trident is very cool. Can't wait to see more.
These look fantastic!

President George W. Bush approves the largest
package of arms sales to Taiwan in nearly a decade.
China responds with a formal protest. White House
officials stress that the sale is in response to recent
Chinese military buildup in the area, and that it has
nothing to do with a recent standoff over the detained crew
of a U.S. Navy surveillance plane that collided with a
Chinese fighter jet (Apr. 1). China's ambassador warns that
U.S.-China relations are "at a crossroads."
China chooses not to invite Taiwan to the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in
Shanghai. A press conference before the event becomes a
bickering match when a Chinese official prevents
Taiwan's representative from speaking.
Taiwan eases restrictions for business that wish to
invest in companies on mainland China. Although many
businesses had already found loopholes in these 50-year-old
policies, economists hope that the rollback will boost
Taiwan's slumping economy and speed up the integration of
the economies of Taiwan and China, which are expected to
join the World Trade Organization later this month.
Representatives of the World Trade Organization
make Taiwan an official member at a meeting in Doha,
Qatar, one day after China is unanimously admitted.
Parliamentary elections are held in Taiwan. The
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) wins enough seats to
replace the Kuomintang (KMT) as
the largest party in Taiwan's legislature. KMT nationalists
had controlled the legislature since it fled from mainland
China to the island in 1949.
Taiwan's parliament approves a bill allowing for
national referendums.
President Shui-bian announces plans for a March 20 referendum that would call on
China to remove hundreds of missiles pointed at Taiwan and
renounce intentions to use force against the island.
China, alarmed that the referendum was a veiled call
for Taiwan's independence, condemns it as dangerously
provocative. It reaffirms its "one China" policy, viewing
Taiwan as a breakaway province that can never become
President Bush, anxious to maintain good relations
with China, issues a sharp rebuke of Taiwan, urging it to
maintain the "status quo" and abandon the referendum.
Historically, the U.S. has pledged to defend Taiwan should
it be attacked by China, but Washington is now angered by
what it saw as Shui-ban's needlessly provocative stance. One
of Bush's aids comments, the President "isn't shopping
around for another international crisis."
Shui-bian stands firm, asserting that "referendum is
a normal practice in democratic countries and is the basic
right of the people which they cannot be deprived of." He
insists that "Taiwan people have the right to say loudly
that they oppose missiles and are for democracy."
Taiwan's national legislature approved two
resolutions of varying severity, one calling on China not to
deploy any more missiles aimed at Taiwan and the gradual
removal of its existing missiles, the other demanding the
immediate removal of the missiles.
Taiwan yields somewhat to U.S. pressure and tones
down the scehduled referendum. Instead of demanding removal
of the Chinese missiles aimed at Taiwan, voters will be
asked whether Taiwan should arm itself with additional
defensive weapons against China if China does not withdraw
its missiles. The second referendum will ask whether Taiwan
should have open negotiations with China. China, which
considers any type of referendum concerning Taiwan-China
relations threatening, is not reassured by the changes.
President Chen Sui-bian and Vice President Annette
Lu survive an assassination attempt the day before
presidential elections and voting on two controversial
referenda. The elections pit incumbent Chen, a strong
advocate of a more independent relationship with mainland
China, against Lien Chan, whose stance is far more
Chen very narrowly won the election over Lien Chan,
who demanded a recount. The referendum failed due to low
response—although 80% of eligible voters turned out
for the presidential election, only 45% voted in the
referendum and 50% were needed.
Election officials announce the recount has been
completed, although almost 40,000 ballots remain in dispute.
About 23,000 of the ballots were cast for Chen, while 16,000
went to Lien Chan. Chen will be inaugurated on May 20 as
planned, but the High Court must still rule on the disputed
Frank Hsieh is sworn in as prime minister.
Tension between China and Taiwan intensifies, when
China passes an anti-secession law that says the country can
use force if Taiwan moves toward achieving independence.
"The state shall employ non-peaceful means and other
necessary measures to protect China's sovereignty and
territorial integrity," the legislation says. Taiwan
president Chen Shui-bian calls the bill a "law of
Lien Chan, who heads the opposition Nationalist
Party, traveled to China and met with President Hu Jintao.
It was the first meeting between Nationalist and Communist
Party leaders since 1949, when the defeated Nationalists
retreated to Taiwan.
President Chen tested China in February 2006, when
he announced that he was rescinding the National Unification
Council, a group that was established in 1990 to deal with
reunification issues with China. He stopped short of
abolishing the council, saying, "Taiwan has no intention of
changing the status quo."
Taiwan's legislature initiated proceedings to oust
President Chen because of allegations of corruption
involving his family and senior administration officials,
but the motion failed later that month.
Prime Minister Su Tseng-chang resigns. President Chen
Shui-bian appoints Chang Chun-hsiung as his
President Ma Ying-jeou is elected head of the ruling party, the Kuomintang.

Pizza >Pizza Fusion
14815 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL | Directions 3318125.913690 -80.156920
Neighborhoods: North Miami Beach
Bland But Fresh – Very good location, but very mediocre pizza. Ingredients are fresh, but totally devoid of flavor. Too bad. Better bets are Lorenzo's Market with a brick oven or Anthony's, or even Steve's pizza. All have flavor which is missing from Pizza Fusion. At least it is healthier than most other pizza places! Service is also very slow, but friendly.
Best, healthiest pizza anywhere! – This is the best run pizza restaurant I've been to. Owner Vince Adams treats you like gold. You're treated like a valued customer and personal friend of his and he always goes the extra mile to make your experience and meal memorable and enjoyable!
Their pizza is FAR healthier than anywhere else and is actually better tasting! Try a glass of organic sulfite-free wine or a craft beer or soda with dinner.
Healthy, always fresh ingredients and truly delicious!
By far, Best Pizza in Miami!!! – I'm a pizza junkie. I've tried pizza pretty much everywhere and no other place's pizza is as good as Pizza Fusion's.
The crust, the amount of sauce, the selection of cheeses and other toppings....heavenly!!
I love it because it's not only the best pizza (at least in my humble opinion) but it's probably one of the healthiest, too! They also take pride in being "Green" and proving that the hospitality industry can have a positive impact on global issues.
My family and I go there often (too often actually) and have come to know many of the servers personally, as well as the managers and even some of the owners (we were told there were four of them).
We'd always ask for Issa and she always treated us like family. Sadly she's no longer working there anymore but Sam, Francisca, and Eddy are also great and take good care of us. We also stop by the kitchen window and say hello to the cooks who always greet us with a smile even while hard at work. If Michelle or Jeff are in the kitchen, expect your pizzas to be not only delicious but beautiful as well.
Their prices are adequate especially since 75-80% of the menu is organic. I've heard people commenting that it's expensive for pizza. For those people, I have something to say: You cannot expect high quality ingredients and expect to pay the same price as Domino's.
The ambience and music are great. There's outside seating as well as inside (including a long booth). Their organic beer and wine menu is great and has options for EVERY budget. We always ask for a "Monk" and a glass of the Heller Cabernet.
The food...ah the food! From the stuffed portobello cap, the freshness of the salads, their focaccia sandwiches, and best of all their pizza!! (My mouth is watering as I write this, I just might have to call for a delivery!)
All in all, it's a great place to bring family and friends, eat delicious food, and most importantly: not break the bank!
Only one suggestion, they should have a couple of shakers with Oregano (it is a pizza place, after all). Other than that, give Pizza Fusion a try, odds are, you won't be disappointed.
Best Pizza in Miami! You've got to try this place. Awesome find. – I usually don't have the time to create accounts and become a member on these websites, but I toughed it out to get to this box in order for me to write a review about this restaurant. Words don't make it justice. Just go there and find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed at all.
Prompt service, cool atmosphere.
Loved the "Monk in the Trunk" organic beer.
Appetizer was terrific (Trio dip with flatbread)
Got the Pear and Gorgonzola salad, loved it so much, we ordered 2 other half salads which were even better (Caesar salad and the Beets / Feta salad).
Pizzas: Gosh, we ordered 4 of the personals, 2 on multigrain and 2 on the organic white. All were terrific.
We were stuffed and happy. We are definately going back!!
Very Disappointing Service-never tasted the food – For a girls night out with my daughter she decided on Pizza Fusion having been there before with others. It was somewhat crowded when we got there but there were open tables. We sat and it took the server a while to come by and ask if anyone had been by for our drinks. He came back and took our drink order. After bringing our drinks at 7:00 we ordered our cheese pizza, a founders pizza and fusion veggie salad. After about 20 minutes the resturant continued to fill up. Our server NEVER came back to our table- not even to say that they were busy or refill our drinks. Others came in and were served. 40 minutes after we ordered I stood up and walked to the first server I could find and told her we were leaving. She asked what we had ordered and then said it had just come out but she didn't know whose it was. I told her I had watched tables that had come in 20 minutes after us be served and that we were not staying.
I hope that they do get their act together. We ended up at Mario the Baker...30 years of experience and they got it right.
Unhappy But Hopeful – This was our 1st time eating here. We ordered a Chicken Caesar salad, cheese pizza with mushrooms and onions and my wife ordered a glass of Chardonnay. When the Chardonnay arrived, my wife and I looked at each other and started laughing because the glass was so large and the serving portion was so small. Since my wife has had a glass of Chardonnay in every restaurant known to man, we asked to speak to the Mgr. who replied that "we only serve 4 ounces" and the industry standard is 5 ounces (trust me - my wife knows). This represents a 20% lower than average serving portion without reducing the $8.00 price of the glass. Mgr. said that this was their policy and that was it. My wife took a sip of the Chardonnay and thought that it tasted terrible. In front of the manager and waitress, I took a sip of her wine and it tasted like stale water. I asked them "what is this"? The waitress replied that this is the Chardonnay that we offer - "I poured it myself". A moment later, the waitress had an epiphany and said "Oh Oh" and explained that they kept Chardonnay bottles on display filled with water and she accidentally poured my wife the water instead of wine. Needless to say, we were shocked and surprised and the waitress then said don't worry, we change the water in these display wine bottles every 2 weeks - that made us feel MUCH better! The Mgr. just stood their not knowing what to say. It seemed like he did not "get" what just had happenned.
The dresssing in the Chicken Caesar salad had too much lemon and overall it was less than fair.
After waiting 20 minutes for the pizza, they brought us a plain cheese and not the mushroom and onions that we had ordered. They took it back and we waited an additonal 25 minutes for the pizza. The pizza tasted great and that's why they need to work on all their other problems. When the check arrived, the manager waived the cost of the wine and gave us an add'l $4.00 discount (big deal). We remain unhappy but hopeful.
Great Pizza and beautiful space – Pizza Fusion is a great spot for those of us who love good,healthy,affordable food, with a great atmosphere.
What I love about Pizza Fusion is the fact that they use natural and organic ingredients, they have a great selection of organic wines and organic beers.
The interior is minimalistic and the atmosphere is great. Staff is very friendly and knowleadgeable.
One of my favorites is the stuffed Portobello Mushroom appetizer, followed by the chicken BBQ pizza, Greek pizza and the Big Kahuna. You can order on either white or multigrain crust.
The best part about eating here is that you are not only eating healthy, you are contributing to a business that is environmentally friendly.
I will definitely eat there again and highly reccommend it to everyone who enjoys a good pizza!!

Hello everyone.
I've been interested in installing Snow Leopard on my Dell Inspiron 531 for a few years but been too scared to do it for fear of loosing everything on my it.
I will be doing a complete backup before i try this though.
Heres what i ant to do. I've read that it's possible to get it up and running on this pc with a bit of difficulty, but i'd still like to give it a try.
Firstly, anyone on here achieved it on a Dell Inspiron 531?
Secondly. My plan is to get a USB external hard drive and install Snow Leopard to it, keeping my windows installation on the original hard drive and not touching that one at all. Then having the option on boot up of the computer to choose which platform i want to boot in to. Is this possible?
If anyone needs more information then please let me know.
Initial information that i know without being at the computer is it's got an AMD Athlon 2.6GHz processor in it. Is this a problem?
My brother in law has just setup a Hackintosh, so he will be helping me to do it but i thought I'd ask this forum for some initial help to get us started.
Any help at all, however small will be greatly appreciated.

Recipe: Steak With Drunken Mushrooms & Roasted Blue Cheese Potatoes
20 fingerling potatoes, washed and halved
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Olive oil
2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 red or sweet yellow onions, peeled and sliced
12 to 15 large button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces dark beer, your favorite or what you have on hand
2 thick steaks
Toss the potatoes with salt and olive oil, and spread on a baking sheet or metal pan. Roast in a 425°F oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
Place onion, a pinch of salt, and a dash of oil in a medium-sized sauté pan over medium-high heat. Caramelize onions (you can see how right here) and remove from pan to a plate. Add mushrooms, garlic, and a few tablespoons of oil. Stir until coated. Keep mushrooms on medium-high heat for 5 minutes and then add half the beer.
Continue to stir mushrooms occasionally until they have sunk below the level of the liquid in the pan. Add onions back to the pan and remaining beer. Continue stirring over medium heat until sauce has reduced and thickened, about 6 to 10 minutes. You want it to form a gravy, but not a paste, so watch it carefully. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate heavy-bottomed pan, such as a cast iron skillet, heat two tablespoons oil over high heat. Add steaks and season the exposed sides with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 and a half minutes, then flip. Season again and cook for an additional 4 and a half minutes. Here are instructions for finishing your steak in the oven if you prefer it more done than medium rare, as we have it here. Remove from pan and rest covered with foil on a cutting board.
Check the potatoes. If tops are browned and potatoes are tender, remove and sprinkle blue cheese on top of each one. Place back in oven and turn to broil. Continue cooking for additional 5 minutes. Reheat mushrooms and onions plate them on top of the steak. Remove potatoes from the oven, serve and enjoy!

You had me at "12 ounces of dark beer."
This is definitely on my list. I love a good steak!
I'm going to try this, but with Daiya on the potatoes, and served with a mushroom Field Roast instead of steak. Yum!!
I have a gift card to our local butcher and was planning on doing something steak-y for a Valentine's meal for me and my husband. This looks like the winner to me.
So, I really want to make this. Just looking at the directions, though, I wonder how the sauce could possibly turn into a "paste" without some kind of thickener, like flour. Is the beer alone provide enough of a thickening agent?
Oh, and I just had breakfast and this makes me hungry for lunch already. Wonderful blog, recipes and pictures! Happy Wednesday! towe.
Emberz - It's because of the beer and the onions (mainly the onions). Because they were broken down and carmalized first, when they are added back into the mushrooms with the beer, as the liquid reduces, it thickens right up. It doesn't get pastey... just thick and stew-y. But if it reduces too much, it would get gloppy (I like technical terms) instead and that's not good eats (well not pretty eats anyway).
I don't like mushrooms or beef, but boy does this look delicious!
I made this last night. The potatoes were amazing, but the mushroom sauce didn't work out. I followed the recipe and the sauce had a much higher onion to mushroom ratio than the picture above. My sauce also didn't thicken - I used the suggested method for carmelizing the onions. Dissapointing because the sauce in the picture looks so tasty. The recipe took me 65 minutes from start to finish. I don't think I'll make it again.
Hm. After reading Merceroo's comment about how the recipe took 65 minutes to make...removing this from my list. I need fast recipes.
wow. This looks incredible. Who needs dinner out for Valentine's Day?
MERCEROO - At 65 minutes, I assume you let the onions do their thing low and slow, so my only advice would have been to let the sauce go longer or it needed to be on higher heat. If do have it happen again 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (mixed first two two tablespoons of cold water) to the mix will thicken it instantly, but it's a well loved sauce in our house without needing that measure.
This is definately a must try...My daughter has requested a steak with blue cheese topping...I think she will enjoy this recipe along with potatoes maybe a new favorite....
This recipe looks delicious! I rarely cook red meat, however, let alone steaks, so how thick is a "thick" steak? One inch? Two inches? (Thanks!)
The steak above was two inches, a less thick steak is just fine, just reduce the time by a minute on each side.
Sarah Rae, would you suggest a marinade for the steak prior to cooking, that would go well w/ mushroom & potatoes?
I don't marinade steaks in general, but you're welcome to do so if it suits your taste!
My husband is cooking up the mushrooms right now, it smells amazing!
It was delicious. We used Innis and Gunn because that's all we had in the house. We will be making this again and again.

COMMENTARY BY LUKE BOYD: Grey on Gray Tyburn: Dont hang out there
By Luke Boyd, Columnist
We have a number of unusual places in this country. Proportionally, England has more because they have been at it longer than we have. One such English place is Tyburn.
Tyburn was once a village west of London. Its name comes from "Teo Bourne" which means "boundary stream," a tributary of the River Thames. For many centuries its name was synonymous with capital punishment since for almost 600 years it was the place of execution for criminals, traitors, and religious martyrs.
The first recorded execution there took place in 1196 when William Fitz Osbern, the populist leader of the poor of London, was cornered in a church, dragged naked behind a horse to Tyburn, and hanged. Sadistic sentences were common with persons sentenced to be "hanged, drawn, and quartered" appearing often in the records. This was accomplished by hanging and then, preferably while the person was still alive, slicing open the crotch and drawing out the entrails and other organs. Lastly, the body was cut into four parts (quartering). Two of King Henry VIII's courtiers received this sentence in 1541 for being sexually involved with his fifth wife, Catherine Howard. However, because he had previously had a good relationship with the King, Henry commuted Thomas Culpeper's sentence to beheading, a much more humane death. The other suffered the full sentence.
In 1571 the "Tyburn Tree" was erected in the middle of the roadway where three streets came together. The "Tree" was a triangular gallows with three legs and three cross beams on which several felons could be hanged at once. Mass executions became the rule. The most recorded was in June 1649 when 23 men and one woman were hanged simultaneously. The gallows was called a "Triple Tree" or "Three-legged Mare" and quickly became a London landmark with a language all its own. A person who was "taking a ride to Tyburn" or "going west" was going to be hanged. The public hangman was dubbed the "Lord Mayor of Tyburn" and "dancing the Tyburn jig" was the act of being hanged.
There were other types of executions carried out at Tyburn. A 1746 map of London shows the gallows with an adjoining field labeled "where soldiers are shot."
With executions being public spectacles, enterprising residents erected large spectator stands and sold "Tyburn Tickets." On one execution day, a large section of overloaded stands collapsed, killing and injuring hundreds. However, this did not diminish the size of future crowds.
These events also produced any number of side spectacles. As a felon was in his death throes, it was not uncommon for a woman who was suffering from some malady, to strip to the waist, rush to the gallows, and let the trembling hands of the dying man massage her torso. It was thought that this power leaving a dying person had curative properties.
Those who had no one to claim them had their bodies given to the surgeons for dissection. These were highly sought after since bodies for this purpose were always in short supply. At one execution representatives of different surgeons laid claim to the same body. When it was cut down a serious fight ensured. With all the tugging in different directions, the body was literally torn apart. Each group departed with only the parts they had been able to collect.
Prisoners were transported to Tyburn from Newgate Prison in oxcarts or wagons. There would be a stop at a pub where they would be allowed to have a "last pint." Of course, the guards would have one as well. If a bartender happened to ask a prisoner if he wanted another pint, a guard would reply, "No more for him. He's on the wagon," thus giving rise to our current expression.
Some of the criminals were well known and had quite a following among the common folk. Their hangings would draw a large and raucous crowd. The condemned would wear their finest clothes and were expected to put on a good show. It was important to die well. The crowd would cheer a "good dying" but would jeer at any display of weakness.
The Tyburn Tree claimed its last victims in November 1783 and is now relegated to history. On a trip to London a few years ago, Honey and I visited the site that has been engulfed by the city. However, the three roads—now busy city streets—still meet at the same location and on the large traffic island in the center are three brass triangles representing the legs of the gallows and at their center a stone medallion engraved "The Site of Tyburn Tree." Good or bad the English always remember their history.

- People matter. The 47% matters. The quality of their lives matters. Their opportunities to pursue life, liberty, and happiness matter.
- The rich diversity of our great nation. Diversity of ethnicity, religion, gender, and yes, sexual orientation.
In Obama's famed 2004 speech which brought him to national attention, he boldly proclaimed his core values:
"There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there's the United States of America. The pundits, the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too.
"We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States."
Last night, newly reelected President Obama expressed the same vision of equality he proclaimed in 2004:
"I believe we can keep the promise of our founding -- the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like, or where you love -- it doesn't matter whether you're black or white, or Hispanic or Asian, or Native American, or young or old, or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight -- you can make it here in America if you're willing to try.
"I believe we can seize this future together -- because we are not as divided as our politics suggest; we're not as cynical as the pundits believe; we are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions; and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and forever will be, the United States of America."
Republican Mitt Romney lost this election with his closed-door sneering to millionaires and billionaires, in which he cruelly stereotyped 47% of all Americans:
"... there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them.
"These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. And he'll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean that's what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people--I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
The contrast between Obama and Romney couldn't be starker: One cares about the lives of all Americans, and desperately desires to ensure that all are afforded equal opportunities to succeed. The other, in his seemingly most authentic campaign moment, cynically dismissed 148 million Americans as lazy moochers not worth his consideration.
It's no wonder that President Obama won:
- 93% of the African-American vote
- 71% of the Hispanic vote
- 73% of the Asian vote
- 55% of all votes cast by women (representing 53% of all votes cast)
The only two demographic groups that Mr. Romney won convincingly were white men and older white women. The Republican electoral problem is this: the United States in 2012 has continued to grow in diversity. Depending almost exclusively on the white vote is now a formula for failure in national elections.
In his first term, President Obama actively demonstrated concern for American lives with specific policies and stances, not merely pretty speeches, including:
- Health care reform, which brings the U.S. in line with all other free countries by ensuring that every citizen has access to health care services.
- Saving and supporting the auto industry, which employs tens of millions of hardworking Americans.
- The DREAM Act for immigrant minors, on which Obama noted "...we should stop punishing innocent young people for the actions of their parents by denying them the chance to stay here and earn an education and contribute their talents to build the country where they've grown up."
- Gay rights and same-gender marriage, including elimination of the military's ghastly "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.
- Womens' health issues, including access to birth control, abortion, and funding for Planned Parenthood health care services.
As best as I can tell, Mitt Romney and the Republican party supported exactly none.... zero, nada, jack-squat... of the above policies that influence and change families and lives.
People matter. The 47% matters. The quality of their lives matters. Their opportunities to pursue life, liberty, and happiness matter.
Americans voted for Barack Obama because he cares about their lives, their families, their opportunities, their futures. Mitt Romney lost because he made sharply clear that he does not.

Wants Mud-Tire Comparo Test
Reader: I enjoyed your three-way test of all-terrain tires ("A Tale of Three Tires," Nov. '08). Will there ever be a test of mud-terrain tires? I have a set of Hankook M/Ts on my two-wheel drive. I'm going to put a set on my four-wheel drive when I replace the tires.
Karen Billy

Editor: We don't have any mud-tire comparison test in the works for the immediate future, but it is a subject we'll be returning to eventually. Thanks for the suggestion.
"Safety First," Or Maybe Not?
Reader: I have to wonder why: For driving a vehicle not suited for highway use and then getting into a high-speed rollover accident that clearly demonstrates why ("Achilles' Wheels," Oct. '08), you award a reader with $2,000 and magazine attention? Oh, yes, how could I forget-all because "safety really does come first." I think you need to have a conversation with the freight train operator who nearly punted Dave Manning into a Darwin Award.

The Last Word On Torsion Bars.We Think
Reader: I was reading an editor's response to "Torsion-Bar Cranking: Pros and Cons" and was alarmed. The answers to Justin from Corpus Christi's questions were not accurate-at all. I'm a vehicle systems engineer with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mechanical engineering. I also own an off-road company on the side, which deals primarily in torsion-bar suspension products. I get these questions a lot and I realize there are a lot of misunderstandings here.
Since I'm sure you get a lot of questions regarding the cranking of torsion bars, I'll just give you the rundown. You can respond to your reader's questions as required.
Pros: More compression travel
Cons: Less down travel
How this affects a truck off road: For those who do a lot of slower speed trail wheeling, down travel is as important as up. Therefore, cranking is not a good idea. It will lessen your capability. Use other methods such as body lifts or fender mods to fit larger tires.
For those who play in the desert, you need compression travel. Your truck will experience extremely high forces catching air, which will likely break things anyway, but at least the odds go down when you have a lot more compression travel. The ride will suck, but again you are subjecting the truck to extreme forces, so you have to accept the give-and-take or get a long-travel kit.
Long term effects: Typically, slim to none-the spring might fatigue sooner, but these springs often last decades and at the very least much longer than their leaf and coil counterparts. CV boots will wear faster but they are inexpensive. Four-wheeling wears out truck parts-it's just part of the sport. If your cranked torsion bar only lasts 10 years instead of 18, who cares? You probably won't own the truck then anyway. The shocks will not be affected because the range of travel has not changed. On some trucks, excessive tie-rod angle will wear steering components. If you don't wheel rocks, that's usually not an issue, though.
Effects on ride quality on-road: It gets worse as you go up. As the A-arm makes an angle (is no longer parallel) with the ground, the actual twisting force the bar experiences is reduced. There is less torque. It then flexes less when you hit a bump, making you feel the bump more.
Preload and "over torque." The preload goes down, not up, as you increase ride height up until you max it out and pin the A-arm against its extension bumpstop (no one should do this). Think about it-the bar is resisting twisting force as a result of the truck's mass. When you cranked the bar, did the truck get heavier? Nope, the only thing that changed is the mechanical advantage or leverage of the A-arm. The leverage went down, and thus so did the preload. (There goes the whole "do you need stiffer bars to hold the lift" crap I hear time and time again.)
Bigger bars-do you need 'em? It depends. The spring rate of a torsion bar goes up with an increase in diameter at a rate of the diameter raised to the 4th power. That's a lot fast. You need bigger bars for one reason only-to get less flex out of your front end. That's it.
After reading this and contrasting it with your response, I think you'll agree some clarification is in order.
Frank Falcone
Plainfield, IL
Editor: We don't think there was anything in our answer that directly contradicted the points you've made here-we simply didn't cover the matter in a whole lot of detail. Besides, we enjoy hearing from knowledgeable readers such as yourself who can help us fill in the blanks. Thanks for taking the time to write.
Reader: I read with great interest the letter in the October 2008 issue regarding the pros and cons of torsion-bar keys. In your reply, you state that "We don't recommend torsion-bar lifts in general." However, in the January '08 issue, Ken Brubaker did a two-page tech article on torsion-bar keys in which he states it is a "cost-effective and worthwhile install." Sooooo, which is it?
Jack Cooper
Greenville, MI
Editor: Well, yes, a torsion-bar lift is cost-effective if you're on a budget and you don't need a huge amount of lift, flex, or articulation. Worthwhile? It's all in the eye of the beholder, i.e., it largely depends on the kind of wheeling you do.
Crossovers Rock. Cross-Dressers? Well...
Reader: Hey, just wanted to say thanks for putting my letter "Crossovers Are Cool" in the mag. Only problem is, my name isn't Jo Geddes. It's Jon. No offense to anyone named JoAnne Geddes out there, but that's just not me.
Jon Geddes
Everson, WA
Editor: Sorry for the goof. The guilty editor is undergoing a sex change operation as we speak-and he ain't looking any prettier, that's for sure.

While St. Baldrick's is a lot of fun, there is one thing the Foundation could not take more seriously: investing every dollar raised in the best possible childhood cancer research.
An army of St. Baldrick's volunteers have made it possible to award $127 million in grants since 2005–nearly $25 million in 2013 alone.
We're guided by a Scientific Advisory Committee, comprised of leading experts in the childhood cancer community, who help the Foundation set research funding priorities so that every dollar makes the greatest impact possible.
You can learn more about the research being funded. Find out about funding near you, or search by disease type to get all the details.
I am incredibly blessed to count myself among those who have seen projects from their laboratory materialize into actual clinical trials of novel therapies. This would never have happened without St. Baldrick's support. I will make sure that every parent of a child that we treat with NK cells knows that a crazy group of ordinary people with a vision–and a willingness to bare a shaved head–made it all happen!
It takes decades of work to reach new discoveries through research, but children's lives are being saved today because of research funded by St. Baldrick's.
Immunotherapy improves the survival rate for children with high-risk neuroblastoma.
Most kids have the high-risk form of neuroblastoma, and only 1 in 3 of these kids were cured. By adding this treatment, which harnesses the power of the immune system, almost half of children may be cured.
Relapse rate is cut in half for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)–the most common form of childhood cancer.
This was accomplished by using an old drug (methotrexate) in a new way (high doses). Until now about 80% of kids with ALL were cured. Now it's close to 90%.
Survival rate for kids with a rare type of leukemia dramatically increased.
A rare and very challenging type of leukemia (Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL) had seen very little progress in research in 50 years. Less than 20% of these kids were cured. Now by adding a new drug, Gleevec, more than 70% may be cured.
Accelerating discoveries in childhood cancers.
For childhood cancers that are both difficult to cure and uncommon, many research institutions have not been able to devote the resources necessary to open important clinical trials.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation's 2012 grant to the Children's Oncology Group (COG) directly resulted in 130 research institutions opening four of these "high impact studies." This is a dramatically successful initiative.
Children diagnosed with less common cancers or with cancer-related complications will have more opportunity to be treated on clinical trials, their best hope for a cure.
Read more about St. Baldrick's grants and about the many ways that St. Baldrick's funding is saving lives.

DENVER (AP) - Backup Anders Lindback stopped 34 shots before leaving early in the final period after a collision and Patric Hornqvist scored his team-leading 27th goal to lift the playoff-bound Nashville Predators to a 6-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night in the regular-season finale for both teams.
David Legwand, Craig Smith, Roman Josi, Brandon Yip and Matt Halischuk also had goals for Nashville, which clinched the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference before the game when Central Division rival Detroit lost to Chicago in a shootout. The Predators open the playoffs next week by hosting the Red Wings.
Matt Duchene scored the lone goal for an Avalanche team that struggled down the stretch and missed the playoffs for a second straight season.
Lindback was hurt with 2:14 left in the third. The Nashville backup landed on the back of his head after Colorado left winger Cody McLeod collided with him in the crease.
Lindback had 34 saves when he left the game. There was no report of the severity of the injury.
Pekka Rinne, the Predators' No. 1 goalie, replaced Lindback.
