How does a contemporary woman with a career as a poet, professor, and editor experience motherhood with one small child, another soon to be born, and her own mother suddenly diagnosed with a brain
Carmen Giménez Smith elevates the motherhood memoir to pure poetry. Who are we, beyond somebody's mother and somebody's daughter?
Bring Down the Little Birds
dives into all the rich and irritating questions with heart, guts, and humor.
--Ariel Gore, author of Bluebird: Women and the New Psychology of Happiness and founder of Hip Mama
tumor and Alzheimer's? The dichotomy between life as a mother and life as an artist and professional is a major theme in modern literature because often the two seem irreconcilable. In
Bring Down the Little Birds
, Carmen Giménez Smith faces this seeming irreconcilability head-on, offering a powerful and necessary lyric memoir to shed light on the difficulties—and joys—of being a mother juggling work, art, raising children, pregnancy, and being a daughter to an ailing mother, and, perhaps most important, offering a rigorous and intensely imaginative contemplation on the concept of motherhood as such.
Writing in fragmented yet coherent sections, the author shares with us her interior monologue, affording the reader a uniquely honest, insightful, and deeply personal glimpse into a woman's first and second journeys into motherhood. Giménez Smith begins
Bring Down the Little Birds
by detailing the relationship with her own mother, from whom her own concept of motherhood originated, a conception the author continually reevaluates and questions over the course of the book.
Combining fragments of thought, daydreams, entries from notebooks both real and imaginary, and real-life experiences, Giménez Smith interrogates everything involved in becoming and being a mother for both the first and second time, from wondering what her children will one day know about her own "secret life" to meditations on the physical effects of pregnancy as well as the myths, the nostalgia, and the glorification of motherhood.
While Giménez Smith incorporates universal experiences of motherhood that other authors have detailed throughout literature, what separates her book from these many others is that her reflections are captured in a style that establishes an intimacy and immediacy between author and reader through which we come to know the secret life of a mother and are made to question our own conception of what motherhood really means.

'Disaster!' — Texas' Controversial CSCOPE Curriculum Raises Its Head Again, But Lt. Gov. Dewhurst Has a Remedy
After the 2013 regular legislative session and three special sessions, most Texans believed that the state's controversial CSCOPE education curriculum had been put out to pasture. But it turns out that the controversial curriculum is not dead, and was posted online. In a wide-ranging interview with PJTV/PJ Media Wednesday afternoon, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst revealed efforts to fix or at least mitigate what he calls a "disaster."
When PJM spoke with Lt. Gov. Dewhurst, he had just come from a meeting on CSCOPE with members of the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE).
"I thought CSCOPE was dead and buried," Dewhurst said. "Based on my conversations with parents all across the state last year in 2012 continuing through, now into 2013, I thought that CSCOPE was a real problem and that we needed to kill it off."
But that's not what happened.
"We have so many problems with CSCOPE. Factual errors. Bias. Our Founding Fathers being called 'terrorists,'" Dewhurst said, referring to how the lesson plan on the Boston Tea Party depicts it as "a local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation's busiest port. Although no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise, considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities from the authorities."
That was but one of many problems Texans have found with CSCOPE. Other problems included the curriculum's praise for communism and its reported tilt toward Islam.
Dewhurst says that he asked a senator to carry a bill in the legislature that would put the CSCOPE lesson plans under the Texas State Board of Education's review and corrections process. The SBOE currently has a strong conservative majority. But as the bill moved through the legislature, there was an unauthorized agreement made to stop his bill and then post all of CSCOPE's uncorrected lesson plans on the Internet.
"Somebody didn't think this through. Once you put them all on the Internet, they're in the public domain. And they're up there. And as of last count, the TEA (Texas Education Agency) Commissioner [Michael] Williams...was sharing with me, 897 school districts out of 1200 are planning on using CSCOPE. How do we correct it [since it's already posted online]? This is a disaster! A disaster!"
Dewhurst says he is applying his business background to fixing the problem.

- Before & After
I stand all day and have recently noticed a lot of pain in my lower legs. It looks like I might have spider veins. Can they cause pain?
Yes, spider veins can cause symptoms, typically itching or burning. I have had a few patients complain of more severe pain. These complaints will usually resolve with treatment.
Normally, spider veins will only cause localized discomfort (some burning, aching). If you are experiencing more extensive symptoms, then you should have a thorough evaluation, including an ultrasound examination, by an experienced board certified surgeon who specializes in venous issues. It may be possible that you have venous insufficiency. He/she will be able to direct you if this isn't the case. Compression hose may also help with your discomfort when standing and can be fitted when you are evaluated.
Traditionally there is the concept that spider veins do not cause pain. Interestingly enough, many patients feel their legs less tired and "achy" after they have their spider veins treated. On the other hand, spider veins might just represent a tip of an iceberg of having venous insufficiency that clearly gives leg pains and discomfort. You need an evaluation done by a Board Certified Phlebologist (vein specialist).
Generally, pain is caused by valvular problems in the deeper veins, not the spider veins.
Spider veins, veins less than 1 mm in diameter, rarely cause pain. However, failure of valves in veins under the skin resulting in venous insufficiency and high pressure in the veins with standing or sitting may cause pain. It is not uncommon for these failing veins to be located deep. You should see a vein specialist.
You may have underlying venous insufficiency that is more likely the cause of your pain and also causing the spider veins. See a vein specialist.
It certainly may be. You should be evaluated by a vein specialist who can evaluate and treat you, based on the findings. Something as straight forward as compression stockings may provide you with relief of pain.
Refluxing veins cause pain in the legs. It's very possible that you have refluxing veins that are feeding those spider veins. An ultrasound would determine if some of your bigger veins in your legs are refluxing and would need treatment.
Spider veins and reticular veins, contrary to popular belief can cause pain and discomfort in those people suffering from them. Depending on how much you have and where, can greatly effect what type of discomfort you may notice. Symptoms can range from aching, itching, heaviness, numbness, night cramping, and restless legs to name a few. The more vein disease a person has, the greater the venous circulatory deficiency that comes along with it. The result is a heavier, more tired leg that just happens to look bad too.
Very rarely will spider veins cause pain, though your spider veins should be treated regardless. Visit a local dermatologist, or doctor that specializes in the treatment of venous disorders (treatment of varicose and spider veins), to get tested for an arterial disease.
Spider Veins do not cause leg pain. You may however, have underlying venous reflux which could be contributing to your symptoms. I would recommend obtaining a venous reflux exam and evaluation by a vein specialist.

Injured Badstuber keeps World Cup dream alive
Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber has not written off his chances of appearing for Germany at the World Cup this summer as he continues work his way back from torn cruciate knee ligaments.
The 24-year-old has undergone surgery four times since damaging his ligaments in November 2012.
He has travelled with Bayern into their winter training camp in Doha and is stepping up his rehabilitation, and he believes he will soon be back out on the field and not in the fitness room.
"It's up to me, I have to decide when I feel it is right, but I'm leaving that open," he said at a press conference.
"I have everything that I need to make the next step and I can move things up at any time. The priority is getting healthy again.
"I want to be playing again. I miss the grass, I miss the game."
While Badstuber will not be fit for the league restart later this month, he has not given up hope of returning during the second half of the season.
Once that step has been taken, he can then think about a return to the Germany team, perhaps in time for a trip to Brazil in the summer.
"I do have that wish, but I'm not putting myself under any pressure," Badstuber said. "There are a lot of things which must all come together for that to happen."

'The President Is Already Lining Up Some Additional Executive Actions' for Guns
FYI! The rats are up to no good, as usual!
Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take "executive actions" to deal with guns.
Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill.
On a conference call with "stakeholders," Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.
"Look I know you're going to say that I'm just being an optimist and I'm trying to put a good face on this. But you know I've been around here a long time and we've already done, because of you, some really good things," Biden said. "Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he's going to be taking later this week."
After the Newtown shootings, Obama took a number of executive actions to expand research into gun violence and other areas favored by the gun control community. He took the actions without Congressional approval, leading to outrage by some conservatives.
He has lost face with his own party. The Democrats who followed him are afraid now. He will only weaken his office with these moves. He will end up in court.;)
He is headed towards court all right. Squatting Kenyan.
He is showing his true self to America. He knows he lost, and he can't stand that. He's throwing a temper tantrum and it will only make him and the dems look worse.
IIRC, there were a few people in congress that threatened to start working towards getting him impeached if he even tried to force gun control on America by way of executive order. (I think it was Cruz)
A select group of senators and reps should put forth a joint resolution declaring,and reaffirming that it is still unlawful for him to declare himself "King of Amerika".
Biden in particular has lost big-time face over this, so expect more than the usual hot air and bluster from him. They're gonna thrash around, issue proclamations and EOs, try to bring the UN in on it (that'll be a popular move :rolleyes:), and none of it will go anywhere because the majority of Americans don't want more gun control. Period. Anybody with half a brain could see quite plainly that none of the proposed measures had any relation to the circumstances at Sandy Hook. It was all panic legislation.
They lost because we stood firm.
This isnt a shocker, BHO doesnt take no for an answer and doesnt support the process that every president before him was required to use. He just assumed that nobody would try to stop him here, because weve been completely ineffective in the recent past. He's not shy, if he cant get the vote he wants, he brings out his decree pen and Bamm, its done!
This is Tyrannical, how else can it be described?
He's the anointed one and has always thought he can do no wrong. In fact he acts like a big baby when he doesn't get his way, he just knows he HAS to be right. Like all libs their can be no other view point other than their own and they think they know what's best for everyone. It's sad and pathetic really. Can't wait till this guy and his minions are history.
We are a minority there are only about 80 million gun owners in the USA. The Constitution protects the minority. He said that 90% of Americans want more gun control, but does he know that about 93% of Americans were for segregation. I guess he forgot about that. The president does not have the power to make laws by himself, even with executive orders.
That 90% poll is pure BS. It was originally conducted by MSN and only included 6 states, all blue states, all voted for Obama.

The West Coast has been hammered by a series of storms causing widespread property damage. Still, there is a silver lining for some enduring Mother Nature's wrath. In Lake Tahoe, nearly 30 inches of fresh snow has fallen, allowing ski resorts there to open early. Likewise, Utah's Wasatch Range has already received more than 4 feet of snow prompting Alta, Brighton, Solitude and Snowbird to open for business.
If you are a snow bunny, Old Man Winter's early arrival is fantastic news. Many of the nation's major ski destinations are hoping the snow and cold sticks around for a while in order to attract a record number of visitors. For those looking to hit the slopes in the weeks preceding Christmas, consider the following:
Several ski resorts in Utah are celebrating major milestones this season, including Utah's Alta. Next month, a special program featuring fireworks and a torchlight parade will commemorate the 74th anniversary of the state's first chairlift.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, Vail is kicking off a season-long shindig commemorating its 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the area will launch a 10-passenger high-speed gondola featuring heated, cushioned seats and free Wi-Fi. Other highlights include a birthday celebration on December 15th and the Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships held from February 25 to March 2, 2013.
In addition, to help cash-strapped travelers, some resorts are offering "snow guarantees." For example, in Winter Park, Colorado, guests scheduled to arrive or depart through December 20 can reschedule their trips later in the season, provided they notify the resort 48 hours prior to their original booking. Lake Tahoe's Heavenly resort is also helping travelers stretch their dollar by providing a refund or change of dates between December 15, 2012 and March 31, 2013, if less than 50% of the resort's 97 runs are open between two and seven days before arrival.

Trade Carr and take VY then have a huge pep rally for the new Texans and create a ton of excitement for the upcomming year. The fact is just 2 years ago we were the loudest stadium in the NFL and I think that if we do start over and admit it we could still sell out next years games and create the same kind of atmospere that we had our first 3 years.

Article submitted by UVMC
"So what do you want to see at the hospital today?" asked Registered Nurse and tour guide, Kristen Marin, to a lively bunch of 4 to 6 year olds eager to tour the hospital.
"I'd like to see an ambulance," said one boy, while another shared, "I want to see a baby girl!"
On Wednesday March 5, students of the Ukiah coop nursery school and their parents were able to take a tour of the hospital and see that it really isn't a scary place.
"When you give a tour to this young of a group you never really know what to expect," shared Marin. "We gave the kids a pretty broad overview of what we do here, and how we help people."
The tour group was able to see a newborn baby through the glass of the Family Birth Center, see and tour an ambulance, meet and talk with real live nurses and doctors in the emergency department ? where kids were able to listen to their hearts with a stethoscope, and Charlie Evans, M.D., emergency medicine physician looked in some of the children's ears.
"Do you see anything," asked one of the students, as to which, Dr. Evans replied, "I see a potato," which all of the kids thought was hilarious. Then on to medical imaging where the kids were able to see interesting x-rays.
"We had a great time," said Susie Newman, nursery school teacher, "The kids learned so much and they're still talking about it. We saw everything they were interested in seeing. We have a group of children this year that are really interested in playing and learning about doctors and nurses at the school. I'm glad we had the opportunity to experience the hospital. We love Ukiah Valley Medical Center!"

I'm Ivy Lane, and if I never see another faerie again, it'll be too soon.
Twenty years after the faeries came and destroyed the world as we knew it, I use my specialist skills to keep rogue faeries in line and ensure humans and their magically gifted neighbors can coexist (relatively) peacefully.
Nobody knows those skills came from the darkest corner of Faerie itself.
When a human child disappears, replaced with a faerie changeling, I have to choose between taking the safe road or exposing my own history with the faeries to the seductively dangerous head of the Mage Lords. He's the exact kind of distraction I don't need, but it's work with him or lose my chance to save the victims. It'll take all my skills to catch the kidnappers and stop Faerie's dark denizens overrunning the city - but if the faerie lords find out about the magic I stole last time I went into their realm, running won't save me this time.

"Promising Series"
I really enjoyed this book! It was light, fun, easy to follow. The characters were likable and interesting. I was very captivated by the story and everything that was going on. It kept my interest through the Conclusion.
Ivy has secrets that she doesn't want getting out. Even her best friend Isabel doesn't know everything about her. A dangerous and attractive Mage Lord is getting too close for comfort. She tries to put him off but he leaves her no choice but to work with him to solve a disappearance case she is working on.
The narrator did a good job bringing the story to life. I'm looking forward to the next book. Talented writer & narrator!
**This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion**
"3.5 Stars"
The plot was o.k but there was very little character development or world building. It would be a great book if a little more time was put in to exploring the different charaters, their history and how and why the world is the way it is. Also, given the first person perspective, I felt their wasn't enough interaction between the characters for me to really get to know them and feel invested in any of them. Overall I felt like there was lots of action happening but not a lot depth to the motivations behind it. I wouldn't use a credit on it but it wasn't bad as a $1.99 added narration with Kindle.
"way better than I thought it would be"
This book was way better than I thought it would be. At first chapter I wasn't sure. But then it got good. Can't wait to seer what happens next.
"Who doesn't love a girl with a sword?"
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com.
I really like the narrator. She uses a light english accent and portrays an independent young woman very well. Some of her other characters that stood out included the rude Lord Ivanter in ch8 and the old woman in ch 11.
Warning that there is some cussing from ivy (f word in ch 11 when she's frustrated, f word ch 14 yelling at fire imps, a few more). I would have preferred the story without it, but it fits the character when she's emotional.
Story wise, I thought it was interesting when Ivy makes the transition from referring to the man from Lord Cultan to Vance to show a closer emotional bond. I thought it was done a little early though. (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a prime example when it's done well, from calling him Junior to Indiana at the end). I think Ivy was too stubborn, taking her independence too far. I think some of the writing could have been a little smoother, but otherwise I enjoyed reading the story.
"Great book"
Both the book and the narrator are awesome! Not your average fairy story and leaves you wanting more
"I enjoyed it."
I enjoyed this first book. it has great potential but I do like more information about the world I'm trying to escape to. the narrator was well spoken and but her voice has a child like sound to it. she still did a great job though.
"This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom."
"I really enjoyed this book"
I really enjoyed
this story looking forward to hearing more in the series by this auther the narrator was excellent you the way she read the story
"Not for me"
This story might have potential but I couldn't get in to it. It just didn't appeal to me.
"fun series"
i received this book free of charge for an honest review, what can i say a Fae story now and then never hurts especially when it can keep your attention.
maybe the splintered series by A.G. Howard
I gave up. Call me picky but when I listen to an audiobook the narration is almost more important then the book.

Romney gaffe makes Buddy Brew a political hotspot
TAMPA - Politics was about the last thing Susan and David Ward expected would make their small Tampa coffee shop nationally famous. They're fixated on roasting the perfect batch of beans, right there in the sitting area of the small Kennedy Avenue café – balancing the natural flavors locked in beans that grew in different regions of the world. They hand-pour hot water over fresh-ground beans because the flavor is nicer. How then did Buddy Brew become known as one of Florida's political hotspots– hosting events with some of the most important Republican politicians? Accidently, Susan says.It started in April 2010 when Mark Sharpe, a neighbor and Hillsborough County commissioner, became a frequent customer, and picked the place to host informal, weekly gatherings. He soon set up a makeshift studio for Webcasts about politics and policy. Soon, the Webcast grew popular and a dozen or more people were showing up for Sharpe's confabs. Then last year, officials for the Mitt Romney campaign were scouting Tampa for sites during the Republican primary, and discovered Sharpe's affinity for Buddy Brew. Romney stopped at Buddy Brew for a meeting and photo op with local residents in June last year – with reporters from all over the world in tow. Then, right there at a table in the coffee shop, Romney made a political gaffe, joking that he himself was "out of work." Because of Romney's wealth, the comment became a widely repeated sound bite and minipolitical scandal. "Every media outlet in the world picked that up," Susan said. "And they ran a photo of Romney with our logo right there behind him." Two months later, Tim Pawlenty's campaign came by Buddy Brew for its own confab, with up-and-comer Will Weatherford introducing Pawlenty. Now, Susan admits, people around Tampa assume they're some kind of Republican power-brokers. So, did the Wards ever plan to be political in their brewing? "Not at all," Susan says, laughing. "We've never been that political about anything like this." Still, they don't mind the extra customer traffic that comes with notoriety, Susan said, and they will probably cater some coffee to events during the convention. "We'll probably get a lot of foot traffic with all the extra people downtown."

It would only be fitting that on a day where Alabama beat Texas A&M in a shootout and Ole Miss ran Texas out of its own stadium, that the night's final top-25 matchup ended on a wild note. Wisconsin can't get off a final play in which it could have kicked a winning field goal and loses to Arizona State.
Track all games and catch up on Week 3 scores on Sporting News' live scoreboard.
Already we have seen Michigan survive an upset attempt by Akron, UCLA dominate the second half in a road win over Nebraska and Alabama edge Texas A&M despite allowing the most points in the Nick Saban era. Let's get to all the action.
Week 3 picks | Heisman Watch | Sporting News' All-Name team
No. 1 Alabama 49, No. 6 Texas A&M 42 (live blog, box score): Aggies had Tide lead to 7 with eight minutes left in game, but six-minute TD drive was the decisive score for the two-time defending champs. The game also featured two interesting plays: Johnny Manziel had one that could be a play of the year candidate and T.J. Yeldon had a candidate for one of the most foolish.
HAYES: What's left for Tide to accomplish now?
No. 2 Oregon 59 Tennessee 14 (recap): How good did the Ducks play today? They scored 59 unanswered points, matching the total from last week's win over Virginia. Marcus Mariota threw for 4 scores and ran one in too. It's hard seeing the Ducks being tested until playing UCLA on Oct. 26.
No. 4 Ohio State 52, California 34 (recap): With Braxton Miller (knee) out, Kenny Guiton led the Buckeyes to another scoring outburst.
No. 5 Stanford 34, Army 20 (recap): Cardinal started slowly, but they did what they needed to in the second half.
No. 7 Louisville 27, Kentucky 13 (recap): Kentucky's defense was great for the first 27 minutes, but Teddy Bridgewater and the Cardinals hit their stride the rest of the way. And Louisville didn't allow a touchdown until midway through the fourth quarter.
No. 8 LSU 45, Kent State 13 (recap): The Tigers have little trouble while piling up more than 300 rushing yards.
No. 10 Florida State 62, Nevada 7 (recap): Seminoles led by just 10 at halftime, but a third-quarter explosion put this game away. FSU looks like it's on easy street until Oct. 19, when heads to Clemson.
No. 11 Michigan 28 Akron 24 (recap): Zips were in this game throughout thanks to incredibly uneven, turnover-filled play by the Wolverines. But they couldn't punch it in on 4th-and-goal at the Michigan 3 to pull the upset.
No. 12 Oklahoma State 59, Lamar 3 (recap): The Cowboys had their way Saturday. They open the Big 12 schedule next Saturday at West Virginia.
No. 13 South Carolina 35, Vanderbilt 25 (recap): The Commodores didn't call it quits and made it interesting before the Gamecocks regained control in the fourth quarter.
No. 14 Oklahoma 51, Tulsa 20 (recap): Blake Bell had four TDs and more than 400 passing yards, and the Sooners rolled. Looks like Bell will be sticking in the starting lineup.
No. 16 UCLA 41, No. 23 Nebraska 21 (recap): Nick Pasquale would be proud of his boys. Bruins score the final 38 points of the game to improve to 2-0 and honor Pasquale, who died less than a week ago in a car accident.
No. 17 Northwestern 38, Western Michigan 17 (recap): WMU gave the Wildcats a fight early, but Northwestern proved too much with two runners topping the 100-yard mark.
No. 19 Washington 34, Illinois 24 (recap): Bishop Sankey tops 200 yards and the Huskies are 2-0.
Arizona State 32, No. 20 Wisconsin 30 (recap): In a what-just-happened finish, Wisconsin can't get another play off when it was in position to kick the game-winning field. Sun Devils pull off the upset and the wife of former Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema takes a jab at the Badgers.
No. 21 Notre Dame 31, Purdue 24 (recap): The Fighting Irish explode for 21 fourth-quarter points and beat the Boilermakers on the road.
No. 25 Mississippi 44, Texas 23 (recap): SN's Matt Hayes wrote earlier this week that Mack Brown was going to have issues after firing Manny Diaz following last week's debacle at BYU. Well, Ole Miss scored 27 unanswered points in rallying for a victory in Austin.

|Assigned Interventions
Half-dose isotope for NuclearStressTest
Intervention is Nuclear stress test of the heart. Single-arm of this study "Half-dose of isotope for Nuclear stress test" is group of study subjects who will do Research Nuclear stress test with half-dose of isotope that normally used for routine Nuclear stress test. Isotope is the tracer CZT (cadmium zinc telluride) that used for Nuclear stress test routinely to see the function of arteries of the heart. Patients with suspected Coronary Artery Disease who meet entry criteria undergo a research nuclear stress test using a decreased dose of isotope, using a new camera.
Other: Half-dose isotope for NuclearStressTest
Half-dose of tracer or radioisotope will be used for Nuclear stress test of the heart. This is imaging test of the heart to see the function of arteries of the heart.
Other Name: SPECT using CZT
Detailed Description:
The aim of this study is to compare the image quality of the half radioisotope dose scans obtained using a CZT (cadmium zinc telluride) camera with scans acquired using a standard of care imaging protocol/radioisotope dose performed on a traditional (conventional) camera.
The proposed strategy of a half dose/extended time protocol with the CZT camera should yield a similar count activity and consequently image quality equivalent to that detected by a conventional SPECT system.

Best budget Boost for TJ. 2" SJ vs. 2" RE vs. own spacers and shocks
Exactly what it says. What budget boost is best or should I purchase seperate shocks and spacer. I plan on putting in a 1.25" bl eventually. If seperate spacers and shocks which ones all for under $300.
Also which is easiest to install. I have no experience but plan on doing it myself.
a bb is a bb imo. i did seperate shocks and spacers but a kit is fine to.
Pucks are pucks, there is really no difference. RE isn't exactly 2 inches, 1.75 actually. The choice in shocks is going to make the biggest change in handling. I ended up using RE pucks w/ OME shocks, it was 150 bucks more then what your looking to spend but the ride quality is great.

Extend Your Home Outdoors
Use our easy tips to make your outdoor spaces as comfortable as your living room.
Rules To Live Outside By
• Set up a sturdy dining table and chairs for fun family dinners or casual gatherings.
• Choose outdoor furniture that feels like it belongs indoors but is made of weather-resistant wicker or durable teak so it can withstand the elements.
• Add "wet-listed," or waterproof, lamps or light fixtures to give a warm glow to an outdoor space at night. If you live in a humid area, consider installing at least one ceiling fan.
• Hang curtains made from outdoor fabric on a porch for added privacy and to frame a view.
• Accessorize outdoor rooms with pillows and cushions made of weather- and water-resistant fabric.

G'Day All. Thanks again to Glennet for a great job of hosting yesterday.
Welcome to the last workout day of the Challenge - Day 52. Today is the day to make it happen - bring it on home - finish with a burst of energy - pick up your last 2 CE's
It is also a day we tend to ruminate on what went right and what went wrong during the last 52 days.
"If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying." ~Coleman Hawking
"A winner is one who accepts his failures and mistakes, picks up the pieces, and continues striving to reach his goals." ~Dexter Yager
"Flops are part of life's menu. Everyone makes mistakes. High achievers learn by their mistakes. By doing that, an error becomes the raw material out of which future successes are forged. Failure is not a crime. Failure to learn from failure is." ~Unknown
"Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life." ~Sophia Loren
"If you aren't making any mistakes, it's a sure sign you are playing it too safe." ~John Maxwell
QOTD: Looking back on the last 52 Days, Did you make any mistakes in setting your Goals, designing your Plan to achieve your Goals, or executing your Plan? How do you plan on correcting those mistakes in the next Challenge?
My numbers for Thursday, February 21, 2013 - Day 51 (98.08%):
PG1 (Push-ups): 7850/7800 (100.64%)
PG2 (Personal Training): 18/15 (120%)
AOTD: I failed to build in rest time time for "bumps in the road" in setting my Push-up Goal - so when life got in the way - I really had to bust hump to catch up. Next Challenge I need to find a better balance.
Don"t forget to post your Final Numbers Saturday at the Finish Line including your final weight loss. Good Luck.

Teacher quits; another is suspended
A teacher accused of helping students on the FCAT has resigned from the Pasco County school district rather than face further investigation. Cynthia Moyers, a fourth-grade teacher at Anclote Elementary School, submitted her resignation effective June 6. The School Board accepted it on Tuesday. Superintendent Heather Fiorentino had recommended firing Moyers. The board has also meted a 10-day unpaid suspension for Sunlake High teacher Gail Fearn, who had been accused of a physical altercation with a student. Fearn was removed from her classroom in the spring after the allegations were reported. Two other disciplinary cases remain unresolved. The School Board is making plans to hear the appeals of Pasco High teacher Gregory Popovich, accused of a violent classroom outburst that led to a student being injured with shards of broken glass, and Dolores Conley, a bus driver accused of texting while driving. Fiorentino has recommended firing both employees.
Authorities say man stole snacks
It was just after midnight Thursday, authorities say, when Gilbert Smith shattered the front door at A-1 Discount Beverages to help himself to some snacks. Smith, a regular customer, stepped over the shattered glass and walked toward the ice cream cooler in the convenience store at 13508 Hicks Road, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. The 46-year-old took some Skittles, Kit Kats and Snickers, along with cookies and ice cream, said one of the store's owners, Mukesh Amin. The break-in was captured on the store's surveillance cameras. Smith fled into the woods, deputies said, and was arrested when he returned to the store a short time later. He was charged with burglary and taken to Land O'Lakes jail, where he remained without bail Friday on an unrelated contempt of court charge pertaining to child support. "He stole about $10 (of snacks) and caused $250 worth of damage," Amin said. "I wish he would have stolen more stuff for all the trouble."

We regret to announce that Road Test Reports will be closing down on 2nd October 2017
Thursday, 21st of September 2017
Hi, my warning light on the dashboard of my Citroen Berlingo, (bright red shaped like a battery), has just came on and at the same time I've lost my power steering. I imagine the warning light is not the battery charging so the alternator or belt, but would this affect the power steering? Cheers. (1.9d)
Hi Andy, I am not a mechanic but you may have the same problem as me. I have a Berlingo Multispace 1.9 2002 E plate. I have had a leak from a pipe on the power steering, the fluid is housed above the alternator so the fluid has been leaking onto the alternator so over time all this has furred up the connection which sends power from the alternator to the battery. I had to top up the fluid a couple of weeks ago as I too had lost the power steering, but I think this made the problem worse. I had the AA out last night ( Monday 23rd July ) he tried cleaning the alternator by spraying carburettor fluid onto the alternator. Although this seemed to work and we got the car started I tried it this morning and only got 2 miles down the road before the battery light came on. I managed to get home but once I turned the engine off it was dead when I tried to turn the engine over again. Looks like I will need to have the alternator taken out and cleaned or worse have a new alternator, but I must get the leak on from the power steering first. I hope this may help, let me know how you get on. Regards Paul Ottey from Essex
Hi, I've just changed brushes on a Berlingo alternator. The power steering pump, and alternator are drive by the same belt. It is possible that leaking power steering fluid (ie oil) may go on the belt, and cause it to slip. Cleaning the belt may help. Otherwise, I think the only problem with the alternator would be fluid (oil) on the brushes, which could be cleaned off - rather than a new alternator! Brushes are a bit tricky to get to though... Chris Heath from Cornwall
Oil and stop light come on and the engine light with loss of power in accelerating. Do you know what it could be? dave from Lancashire

Anyone that has done it please tell me how involved it is and what other parts I will need to complete the job. thanks, Matt

Freshman running back James Washington injured his knee following the Boston College game and is out for the year.
The speedy 6-foot, 180-pounder from Orlando (Fla.) Boone High has rushed for 76 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns, plus five receptions for 44 and a score this season. The third-string running back beat out Brandon Barnes during fall camp, and moved up to second string when fifth-year senior Jamelle Eugene went down with a minor knee injury earlier this season.
Washington filled in for Eugene and combined for 63 yards and three touchdowns against Murray State on Sept. 12. He also had 41 yards of combined offense in the win over Gardner-Webb on Sept. 19. The former three-star Rivals.com recruit hasn't played running back since that game, but did make a contribution on special teams against Boston College.
Washington filled in for the injured T.J. Graham on kickoff returns, and had five for 124 yards and a long of 48. He averaged 24.8 yards per kickoff return. Washington has six returns for 132 yards on the season.
Redshirt freshman Barnes will move into the third-string running back role behind starter Toney Baker and Eugene. Barnes has rushed for 79 yards on 25 carries and a touchdown, plus has three catches for 33.
Junior running back Curtis Underwood, last year's third-string running back, is planning on redshirting this season.

Mercantilism is a bankrupt theory that has no place in the modern world. Is this an accurate statement?
In 1776, Adam Smith proposed mercantilism as a means of growing a domestic economy by limiting imports and increasing exports. The goal was to bring more wealth into the country through exports while also preserving the domestic labor market (Library of Economics and Liberty, The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics, Laura LaHaye, "Mercantilism"). However, most economists do indeed find that mercantilism doesn't achieve its goals.
In a report the Cato Institute issued to the U.S. International Trade Commission titled "The Economic Effects of Significant U.S. Import Restraints," researchers presented data from a study conducted in 2000 showing that import barriers enforced on lumber imports through the U.S.-Canadian Softwood Lumber Agreement actually raised the U.S. prices of lumber by "$50 and $80 per board," which in turn raised the cost of housing and hurt the real estate market. Higher costs of production also led to a decrease in employment in the lumber industry.
Economists agree that import barriers create high prices for certain producers, which can be profitable for the producers, but consumers suffer from the higher prices, which in turn hurts profits. Hence, mercantilism can indeed be called a bankrupt theory.
This is an accurate statement in that economists today do not believe in mercantilism at all. Mainstream economists are unanimous on the idea that trade helps all countries. Countries produce things in which they have a comparative advantage and trade for things in which they do not. This allows world production to be higher than it otherwise would be.
However, there are countries that follow at least some aspects of mercantilism. Any protectionist policies can be seen as mercantilism. Therefore, when countries like China erect trade barriers and emphasize exports they are acting in ways that are influenced by mercantilism. Therefore, it may not be a completely "bankrupt" idea.

Cirque du Soleil is dazzling, but audience members often find themselves gasping as much from the high-flying prices as from the high-flying stunts. For the next two weeks, Boulder's Frequent Flyers offers some relief, with Cirque-like performances at prices that won't make spectators queasy.
Starting today, the Flyers' annual Aerial Dance Festival hits the Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut Street in Boulder, with classes, lectures and exhibitions involving bungee cords, stilts, metal bars and all the other things that send dancers up to the stars. Enjoy a two-week course on "Poetics of Aerial Performance" or the "Illusion of Flight Repertoire," or try one of the many less-intensive one-week classes, such as "Intro to Fixed Trapeze."
Classes cost between $80 and $220, but you can watch students' "graduation" performances for free. And just because the shows don't have Cirque-level prices doesn't mean you'll be watching aerial crash-test dummies. "The people who are going to be in those classes are professional aerialists from all over the country," says Flyers founder Nancy Smith.

Adaptability is just one beauty of dance: The art form is as comfortable on the highbrow stages of the ballet as it is in the streets. Even modern dance can take a detour without missing a step, as Boulder's Interweave Dance Theatre proves with Cabaret Diva, a campy, vaudeville-style performance that combines dance, music and comedy. To really put it over the top, Interweave is bolstering its large cast of professional dancers -- many from the Boulder Jazz Dance Workshop -- with a few unexpected additions, including Seattle drag chanteuse Phoenicia (aka Wade Madsen), Boulder choreographer/stand-up comic Nancy Cranbourne and pianist Trent Hines.

Slam It!
The Beat spirit lives on
The Beat generation and its poetry have a lot to thank these parts for, if only because of Neal Cassady's skid-row Denver roots and Beat progenitors Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg's migration to the area. Beat ideas persist today in the flavor of local poetry, its wild rants living on in the skins of young, torch-carrying slam poets. It's still all about the now, the here, the incandescence of the mind's eye. Those scribes will show off their Beat-itude at Denver Poets Day, taking place today from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the pavilion in Cheesman Park, Eighth Avenue and Franklin Street. The day is dedicated to Tony Scibella, a Denver-based bard who once hung with the Venice Beats, and will feature ongoing readings by national and local poets, many of whom knew Scibella well, along with groups performing music/poetry mergers and five-minute open readings by the public. For more information or to join in, call John Munson at 720-570-0930 or visit www.denverpoetry.org/cgi/cal.php. -- Susan Froyd

This may be the wrong crowd (HK section) to ask, but is the $800+ price tag worth it over something like an M&P? I'm looking into maybe getting the HK P30. I handled it in the gun shop and it was nothing short of amazing. Is the 100,000 round tests and excellent customer service/warranty genuinely true? Need some advice
In my opinion my glocks do the same as my h&k. I think the h&k is very nice but I can't see the $500 or so difference between them.
The grip angle and ability to tailor the grip with side panels and the back strap make the P30 worth every penny to me.
After looking at the MPs, SIGS, Glocks, and the H&K, I found the grip of the P30 was the best for me - and that's what I bought. My wife shoots an XDm and has about 5,000 rounds through it - I like the XDm as well but I find the P30 fits my hand better.
Only you can decide whether it is worth the price for your use.
Not quite at 100,000 rounds yet, and have not needed any warranty work ( or any work for that matter ), so not sure about customer service. But I can say that my particular USP has performed flawlessly. Have had multiple kinds of pistols and though I would never DARE to say " My USP is the best handgun " I will say,, its MY best. If you can afford it,, get it.
But if times are tight and your robbing Peter to pay Paul then there are admittedly other pistols that will get the job done with money left over for ammo, ,,,lol.
As buckhorn says XDm's are a good carry gun as well, I've shot several and liked them also....
Well you could look at it this way....
You can go buy a wally world 10 speed to commute to work, it is cheap, will work most of the time under regular abuse, some what reliable.
Or you can go buy a Farraii....
Bottom line is You get what you pay for, HK's are in the top of the pile when it comes to reliability, and have a look at the ND's mostly Glocks (yeah the police carry a heap of them) but safety, the ability to cycle anything you can fit in the mag, corrosion resistance is far Superior to almost everything else on the market....
I have been carrying my USP now for 10 years, no rust, cycled thousands of rounds with never an issue, been in the AZ 115 desert heat, left in the car and it exceeded 170 degrees (the gun was so hot I could not touch it) in MI sub 0 winters and it just keeps working and looking like I just bought it.
So if you are going to buy a CC gun, keep it for 6 months then trade it off, go buy a Glock or something else but if you want to buy a gun that you will keep forever and that will be so reliable that you are willing to bet your life on, them make it an HK...
Aww, tomany you almost brought a tear to my eye,,,almost. Lmao
I gave my dad a USP9 I bought while stationed in Germany. A couple of months ago while visiting with him shooting an old pump action .22 he went and got his HK. I took a look at it and said "you need to clean this thing". He replied back with "I don't clean guns"! So it fires fine and apparently hasn't been cleaned since 1997 when I gave it to him. :)
Yea hk cost more, but look at the savings,, 13 years of no cleaning products,,,, guns practically making money....lol

This drama has sprung out of a project that listened to people with mental health issues, and in this case people who hear voices. The project was run by Company Paradiso, a charity that enables groups of people who encounter some form of disadvantage to tell their stories.

Drinking Water in Japan
For many travelers, it is a relief to know you can drink water from the tap throughout Japan without ill effects. You can rest assured that you will not catch diseases or parasites from your hotel sink when brushing your teeth or making tea in your room. In fact, some cities like Kyoto pride themselves on the quality of the water, citing its purity and sweet flavor. There are also an abundance of vending machines in Japan, especially at train and subway stations where you can buy bottled water or interesting named drinks like Pocari Sweat (which is pretty good!).
Do be careful if you are considering water from a source that is not specifically designated for human consumption. For example, avoid filling a drinking bottle at a spigot used for watering plants or in the small sink at the top of a toilet tank. Sometimes these use grey water from other sources to conserve water.
Centuries ago, pure water was not always the case, and so for everyday use people tended to drink barley tea, called mugi cha, because preparing the tea by boiling sterilized it. Even today, mugi cha is popular in the summer months, and many restaurants serve it in place of drinking water with a meal. It has a light brown color and earthy taste, and is served cold. Other restaurants serve green tea or genmai cha, which is a blend of green tea and toasted rice. If you do not like the taste, most restaurants are happy to provide regular water upon request.

PC Fair used to be a place where you can get some nice deals, and see some nice gear on sale. But... in recent years it has just devolved into nothing might just a great big waste of time since things aren't any cheaper at PC Fair, in fact there're instances where things are more expensive then what you can get at Low Yat. While it is true that you get more freebies at PC Fair, you have to ask yourself if it's worth the time and effort of getting over to KLCC and making your way through the crowd.
So.. I made this short video detailing the PC Fair experience. It's short and boring... kinda like going to PC Fair yourself.

Schoolgirls: Young Women, Self Esteem, and the Confidence Gap (Paperback)
Young Women, Self Esteem, and the Confidence Gap
Anchor Books, 9780385425766, 368pp.
Publication Date: September 1, 1995
When Peggy Orenstein's now-classic examination of young girls and self-esteem was first published, it set off a groundswell that continues to this day. Inspired by an American Association of University Women survey that showed a steep decline in confidence as girls reach adolescence, Orenstein set out to explore the obstacles girls face--in school, in the hoime, and in our culture.
For this intimate, girls' eye view of the world, Orenstein spent months observing and interviewing eighth-graders from two ethnically disparate communities, seeking to discover what was causing girls to fall into traditional patterns of self-censorship and self-doubt. By taking us into the lives of real young women who are struggling with eating disorders, sexual harrassment, and declining academic achievement, Orenstein brings the disturbing statistics to life with the skill and flair of an experienced journalist. Uncovering the adolescent roots of issues that remain important to American women throughout their lives, this groundbreaking book challenges us to change the way we raise and educate girls.
