History...Scenery...And Just Plain Fun! |
Welcome to the Village of West Salem home page on the World Wide Web. West Salem is located in west central Wisconsin along Interstate 90, 12 miles east of La Crosse, approximately 165 miles from Minneapolis, Minnesota and 280 miles from Chicago, Illinois. West Salem is rich in history. Founded by Thomas Leonard in 1851, the village is the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hamlin Garland. Historic points of interest include two octagon homes, Thomas Leonard's colonial-style home (Historic Salem), and the Hamlin Garland Homestead. The surrounding Coulee Region's bluffs and valleys provide for some of the most scenic areas you will find in western Wisconsin, known as "God's Country." The nearby La Crosse River meanders through forests and farmlands winding its way to the "Mighty Mississippi." These scenic areas set the stage for exceptional opportunities for recreation, including boating and fishing on Lake Neshonoc, camping and picnicking at Veterans' Memorial Park, biking and hiking on the La Crosse River State Trail and much more...

Being a know-it-all is a great way to make people question your common sense.
When it comes to credibility-building, the three most powerful words in the English language are: "I don't know."
Many salespeople and most managers think that they'll lose credibility if they admit ignorance, especially about something about which they "ought" to know. However, the exact opposite is the case.
Admitting ignorance makes everything else you say more credible. Admitting ignorance marks you as a person who's not afraid to speak the truth, even when that truth might reflect poorly on you.
Needless to say, the "I don't know" should be followed by a plan to discover the information that's required, if the issue is truly important. And you WILL be judged on whether you deliver on that promise.
But here's the thing: people dislike a know-it-all. They can often sense, at a gut level, when they're being BSed. Even if they're taken in, when they find out (as usually happens) that they've been BSed, they never trust the BSer again.

Working fine so farThis review is from: RAVPower Xtreme 15000mAh Voltage-Adjustable (5V 9V 12V) External Battery Pack Charger Pros: Huge capacity, 15000 mAh can charge my phone (3300 mAh) about 4x or Ipad 4 once. Professional looking case, simple one button charging/auto shut off. Came 95% charged. Cons: Only thing I've noticed so far is the USB ports are a bit 'tight'. Also the charging cord plug is a bit awkward, just be gentile when using it to make sure you don't jar the charging port lose from the pcb. Other Thoughts: The charging on this pack is +12v (no USB charge) which I consider a plus. Some may desire to charge via USB, but with packs this large your talking over 24 hours to charge. The manual states the 12v 1.2a charger can bring the battery to full in roughly 5-7 hours, I haven't had the chance to do a full charge yet to test the speed however. I also consider this a plus for automotive charging, as long as the alternator is off most car batteries put off 12.5v which should allow charging without using a controller/smart circuit. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

The tempura was the best I've had in awhile. So much food for such a GREAT price! Just wished that they had teapots for each table. Server could have been more attentive. Despite that, a good experience. A great refuge for YOu Zen fans. Go hungry!!!

Residents who live in Trevors Run say they still won't go out alone at night anymore. And they still don't feel completely safe.
Police say a predator broke through a locked door early Saturday morning in the 13000 block of Merrybrook Court in Herndon. A 23-year-old woman awoke to find him in her bedroom, armed. He then sexually assaulted her and fled, authorities said.
"We're kind of afraid about what happened. If he's still out here," said resident Jaclyn Gomez.
Roughly 10 detectives canvassed the area through the early evening, handing out flyers in both English and Spanish. Neighbors say they were asked if they saw anything suspicious and were asked to follow up.
Police described the suspect as a little over 6 feet tall, with a large build. He wore a black tank top, khaki shorts and a light-colored cloth wrapped around his head.

Where does teen crime fit into these numbers? It appears that those of us who are still afraid to come out of our homes after dark doesn't agree with these reports we see on TV. Teen crime is running out of control the same as it was last year and the year before; and these teens are the ones causing more harm and fear in our citizens. We have to come up with other means of getting these kids off the streets other than DCS and Foster Care; these simply result on these kids being placed in our communities to commit more crime. When are the Ministers going to address this, or is there not enough MEDIA opportunities for them in this area? Let's see what 2011 produces in this area starting at the school house door(s).

Several ministers such as Reverends Dwight Montgomery and Kenneth Wallum have addressed this issue many, many times over several years. However, just as law enforcement, psychologist, behaviorist, and others, nothing concrete has worked. Marches in the neighorhoods, community meetings addressing the issues have been the major strategies, along with asking parents to become more visible in schools. None of these have thwarted crimes by teens. Teens need structure in their homes, more parents acting like parents rather than best friends, more support from the entire community and more jobs. Teens who are involved with sports, school and church activities, and jobs that they care about are less likely to be drawn to gangs and gang-related crimes.
Of course, these times describe teens of yesteryear before the advent of gangster rap, violence on television, violent video games, sexually-explicit video games and so on. Also, the government gave children rights such as reporting their parents to the police for assualt when they were spanked. This was a bad idea. Taking prayer out of schools was the first blow to school discipline, then corporal punishment was voted out. The alternatives to spanking in the homes and corporal punishment in schools is not working, especially with black children. In other ethnicities there is a rise in teens and even pre-teens experimenting with drugs coupled with rising teen pregnancies.
In today's society, adults are not modeling good behavior. We are so much more educated and well off than our parents and grand parents were. Yet they disciplined their children much better. Also, parents then were the role models; they practiced what they learned from Bible study. They were more loving toward their fellowman, they could agree to disagree concerning political and other issues; they worked together. Children did not witness hard-core violence on television, at the movie theatre or even in the homes as much as now. Children witnessed thier parents praying, reading their Bibles at home.
During this holy season of the year, there was less bitterness--democrats and republicans could co-exists without the horrific word play that is now prominent on television all day long. The world was a much better place. There were more jobs in America and in our neigbor hoods. Children played sports and other games outside without the fear of bullets flying in the community or being run over by a drunk driver. Children were happy; now they are unsettled, angry, and drugged out.
We must get back to the bacis in and out of school.

Untamed Running in Malibu Creek6th Annual Off-Road Adventure – XTERRA Style For the sixth annual XTERRA Malibu Creek Trail Run nearly 700 runners are expected to toe the start line – anxious to taste what Mother Nature will bring to the table this year. Set in the ruggedly striking Santa Monica Mountains, a host of hill climbs and breathtaking views is just the beginning… Slated for May 12, 2007, competitors choose between two distances: 4-mile or 14-mile, both steering runners through a bit of Hollywood history. After a single-track incline, the short course descends onto "Cage Creek Trail" – where the cage scene from Planet of the Apes was filmed. For the long course, athletes pass by old 'bombed out' jeeps and trucks from the historic set of television's M*A*S*H before they are 'presented' with the infamous Bulldog Climb -- 3 miles of up, up, up. Talk about "runners high" -- at 1800 feet of elevation the views of the Pacific Ocean and San Fernando Valley are truly breathtaking. But that's not all – this series is comprised of more than 30 events nationwide, with six of them held right here in Southern California! The top 10 runners in each age group earn points at every XTERRA Trail Run attended. After the series concludes, each region crowns local champions. Then, the top 5 in each class are invited to compete against top trail runners from other regions at the 2007 XTERRA National Trail Running Championship, held this September in Lake Tahoe, NV. All ages and skill levels are welcome -- don't fret if you lack the right attire for your feet. Just stop by "Pick the Right Shoe" a clinic hosted by REI on Santa Monica Blvd. Thursday, April 26th at 7pm. Beneficiary: Proceeds from the XTERRA Malibu Creek Trail Run go to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Founded in 1901, the hospital has been treating the most seriously ill and injured children in Los Angeles for more than a century. The SoCal Series also supports a Youth Outreach Program, introducing 12 to 17 year old students to the California State Parks and trail running.

Last year, my mom agreed to me getting my helix pierced. We found a shop in Troy, NY (I can't remember the name) and we went to go get it done. When we got there, there was a woman at the front desk yapping on her cell phone and eating, and we were told to wait until she got off of the phone. When she finally hung up, we asked her what the pricing was and what jewelry she would recommend. She replied "Oh, I don't know. Ask _____." Turns out _____ was the artist and piercer, who was piercing a client on a table in the dead center of the room. Once he was done and we had done all of the necessary paperwork, he asked how old I was. When my mom said that I was 13, he said "Oh, we can't pierce younger than 15 (come to find out later the legal piercing age in NYS on anything besides lobes is 16)." Then my mom said "So, if she's 15 she can get pierced? Well then she's 15." He immediately agreed, and he set everything up and pierced me. Well an hour later I passed out from the pain. And the next day I woke up with a HUGE bubble on either side of the jewelry. I disregarded it, thinking it was normal. A month later, it was still there and was even bigger. I went to my doctor and she told me it was badly infected (even though I had been taking all necessary cleaning steps) and I was forced to take it out. Did I mention that he pierced it with a 12g hoop? Bottom line, don't go to a place that is willing to overlook your age in order to get money.

SUBMITTER'S COMMENT:I found this beauty on Amazon while looking for some "goal" plugs for myself (a reward for being patient with my stretching)
WHAT'S AWFUL: I don't claim to be an expert, but I'm pretty sure that uneven/holey surface is not good for a stretched ear, especially one that's not healed yet.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: do your research and don't buy things that your ears are going to hate you for?
Lesson? Don't buy plugs on Amazon. ;)
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: find this scrolling through the taper tag, he's using a pen… to stretch his ear…
WHAT'S AWFUL: it's a pen in his ear…
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: stahp. use a real taper next time…

Submitter comment:
A sixteen year old guy uploaded this to the "piercing" group on Dayviews.com and stated that his friend tried stretching his ear with a bolt, and that this is the result.
What's awful:
Disgusting disregard for ones personal health. Even though said uploader has seen the aftermath of poor stretching habits, he still claims nothing is wrong with doing it.
How it can be fixed:
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: A girl I know has a boyfriend who got this tattoo done, the guy said it was his nickname. I found this on Facebook, and most of the comments were positive, with people saying that it was cool and they liked it. The few people that actually said it wasn't well done got negative responses from him and his girlfriend.
WHAT'S AWFUL: The lines are off, he's underage which means he probably got it done at someone's house which is unsanitary. He also said he was going to add to it and put a star around it, and hopefully if he does it will be professionally done.
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: I found this on a tattoo tag. The person said that they had a friend stick and poke them using India Ink and this was the result…
WHAT'S AWFUL: Allowing someone to stick and poke you, probably with an unsanitary sewing needle or un-sterilized piercing needle.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Well thats an obvious infection…go see a doctor IMMEDIATELY.

SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: This guy does tattoos at his house (very unsanitary). He's been tattooing everyone he can get his hands on. Even people who are underage.
WHAT'S AWFUL: Look at the line work. VERY wonky and shaky. I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be. It looks terrible. All of his tattoos he has posted on his Facebook page look really horrid.
SUBMITTER COMMENT: This pin-up was done by a licensed tattoo artist at a shop I used to intern at. It was done in a sterile environment with sterile equipment and gloves, which of course is good.
WHAT'S AWFUL: Despite this being done in a sterile place, the tattoo is still a bit wacky. The shading is off, the lines are a bit shaky, and the proportions are wrong.
I know there are quite a few lovely [completely awful] blowouts posted here but I thought I'd give it a go.
I use to live in the same town with this kid and thought he was a decent person until these gems came up on my newsfeed.
These aren't your normal blowouts. Goodgawd, this is a perfect example of knowing when to just please stop.
This was number one, back in May.
Caption: "Right before I glued it. \m/ Metal XD"
This was the same day. He super glued it.
This was November 18th. Calling it "Fixed".
And this was November 20th, two days later. He had tried to stretch again.
I'm pretty sure this is self explanatory.
I've seen tons of blow outs, but holy cow, this takes the cake.
Lobes don't just "Randomly blow out and rip". You shouldn't even let them get to that point. Let alone not even notice it to the point that it rips in half.
Secondly, Super glue? What? What sane person would even..?
I guess it worked for him and they healed back together, but that's about the point you should know when to stop.
This just has stupid written all over it and I think we could all learn from this.
Just stop. Please. Stop.
Lots of love from your fifty shades of friendly, awesome and mega epic moderators!
SUBMITTER COMMENT: To the people commenting on the tattoo owner's photo: When you are complementing this tattoo, are you lying or lying?
WHAT'S AWFUL: The lines are shaky. The tattoo looks like it was retraced, as some letters' lines are doubled. Ink usage on each word is not evenly distributed, and on some, too much ink is used. The alignment of the letters are not at level. The letters are not the same shape. (Glance at the "s" in was, and the "s" at the end of mistakes) Space between the words are not equally spread out. Did the tatoo-er even care to finish the "k" in mistakes? Bless your little heart. I hope you learn from this "mistake"!
SUBMITTER COMMENT: So I've seen some posts about people related to/knowing a hairdresser who claims to be a licensed piercer and, while we all know this can't possibly be true I wanted to offer a little bit of information on where it comes from for those who don't know.
I am a hairdresser, I have a coworker who claims to be a licensed piercer. When he was in beauty school a guy came to the school selling piercing gun kits and teaching people how to "properly" use them. After some "Here's how you wipe this down" and the like they did some test piercings, were told they were now trained professionals and were set free to pierce the heck out of each other and other students.
Because of this lovely day in beauty school my friend is now convinced he can pierce just about anything safely and at least as well as any piercer working out of a real shop. He tried to insist he could do my nose piercing and should be the one to do it, sadly the bad information he gained in school lead him to not believing the correct information I offered him as to why I wouldn't let him near me with that evil gun.
So for those of you out there who weren't aware why some hair dressers think they are or claim to be professional piercers, its because they're being told they are after taking a short sales based course from a piercing gun salesmen. Try not to hate on these people too much, they're victims of misinformation and should be reeducated, nicely.
- Q: I've been considering getting a hip piercing but I still don't fully understand the concept of a microdermal piercing. Please explain. And if it's not too much trouble, can you also explain if getting a hip piercing removed is a complicated/painful process?
Microdermal piercings (surface anchors) are essentially a small post inserted into a single point piercing, different end pieces can be threading onto the post. Unlike most piercings there is only a single point. So no in-and-out action of the needle or jewelry. It's essentially a little pocket made with the use of a standard piercing needle, or O-style needle. Here is a video of some lower back surface anchors being installed.
Having them removed is typically just as easy as having them installed. If the piercer is experienced they should be able to gently remove it in just a few seconds. The skin should NEVER require cutting to remove a surface anchor. If a piercer says they need a scalpel or any cutting tool to remove a surface anchor you may want to get a second opinion.
- Q: What is the difference between microdermals and surface anchors? I am indeed looking for a less of a dimpling effect as I already have a dimple on one side of my cheek and have always wanted cheek piercings. Do you by chance have any pictures of someone who had surface anchors for cheek piercings but retired them? I'm curious how they look once healed.
Microdermals (surface anchors) are a single point piercing. Meaning one side to the hole, they're more of a pocket. Surface piercings are two point piercings, like most other body piercings they have an entrance and an exist.So with anchors you can do one by itself or any number of individual anchors in an area. Surface bars are two visible ends connected under the surface.
I don't have any pictures of removed anchors on cheeks to show you. Anchors typically leave a small flat scar when removed, there usually isn't any significantly visible scar unless they rejected or were removed poorly. With cheek microdermals specifically I have removed a few of the ones I've installed and they have left no noticeable scars or dimples long term. Hope this helps to answer your questions.
submitter comment:
I came across these photos on facebook. The work is coming out of a shop called Evil By Needle.
whats awful:
As usual, the comment section was flooded with praise for these horrible tattoos. I wish people would just STOP and LOOK at the work for a second before encouraging these atrocious pieces to continue being placed permanently on peoples bodies. Ignorance is tolerated from clients but there is no excuse for the artist. If you have trouble with drawing human anatomy then DON'T DO IT. shaky lines, wonky perspective… just plain bad drawings that have been executed poorly
1.) The new ASL (American Sign Language) teacher at my high-school is a nice person, supportive, humorous, and a good teacher. He has a few piercings (nostril, a few in his ears), all of them well taken care of from what I can tell. But what I cannot stand is his constant giving of inaccurate piercing advice. He cut into a conversation I had with a friend about her wanting a Monroe piercing, claiming it would leave a "huge ugly scar", and claimed that if I wanted my nape done, then I could ONLY get ANY surface piercing done with a flexible straight bar. Um, no. 90 degree titanium surface staple, if you please.
What's awful: Inaccurate advice that some poor kid may take to heart. He won't believe any other piercing advice but his own.
2.) This one happened today, actually. A newer friend of mine has stretched ears, and is currently at a 0g and plans to size up soon. They looked healthy at a glance, so I asked how she went about it. She frowned, looking embarrassed as the tells me she jumped from her 20g initial piercing to 6g in one go! Holy cow!
What's awful: 20g to 6g in one go!
3.) There are literally ten people I know who have self-pierced. The worst one of all, I am sorry to say, is a very close friend. She has piercing guns from her aunt's salon, claiming her aunt (who is a hair stylist, not a piercer) is a certified professional. No pro would pierce with a gun. And now a 16 year old has a piercing gun. She pierced her middle school aged little sister's cartilage and lobes with it without taking any small secondary precautions The second worse case of self-piercing is when another close friend came in with a Monroe that she did with a sewing needle and an earring. Her mother noticed it as soon as she went home, don't know how she planned not to get caught with it.
Why it's awful: I think it speaks for itself.
And now to end on a high note. The replacement Polymer and Crystalline Engineering teacher we have this year has the healthiest stretched lobes I have ever seen in my life and he will stop to educate those who are doing it way wrong. His advice echoes what I've seen in your stretching FAQ, he abhors the word "gauging", and abhors improper jewelry and home tattoos. He may only be at a 0g (and plans to stay there), but the time and effort that went into those perfect stretched lobes should not go unnoticed.
SUBMITTER COMMENT: This chick I used to follow on tumblr is barely 15 years old and has her eye brow pierced. So I asked how she got it done and she said her sister did it for her. She was a bit rude about me warning her of what could happen, obviously people like to stay ignorant. She also plans on getting more piercings done by her sister too, she had a whole list of them asking her followers what she should get next.
Here's what her, one of her followers, and I said. (me being anonymous)
What's Awful: unprofessional. piercing at home. UNDER AGE.
How it can be fixed: Don't pierce at home..
A friend of mine posted this to my wall on facebook a few minutes ago and I HAD to post it on here before going to bed.
SOURCE: Youtube
WHAT'S AWFUL: Everything… EVERY SINGLE THING! And the scissors?! Why are scissors being used to insert a surface anchor… then the lack of gloves, unsterile piercing area, dirty (and wrong) tools being used. This is a nightmare!!
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: When I see things like this, I feel like there's no hope. GO TO A PROFESSIONAL!!! How hard is it to save a few bucks and get something safely done?! Geez! If you want it done THAT badly, at least get it done safely! Gosh darn!!
Watch at your own risk. This one made us a little queasy.
(yes, she does actually use scissors)
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: I had a neighbor whose boyfriend bought a tattoo gun. Every couple of days for a few weeks, one of them would come outside and show me their new additions. They were ALWAYS wonky and awful looking. Another neighbor told me to draw out her husband's name so she could get it tattooed on her ankle by this guy IN HIS HOUSE. So I did. I don't have a picture of it, but its terrible and faded.
Then one day the girlfriend came outside and told me, "You need to give me a tattoo sometime!"
I've never handled a tattoo gun, never even touched one, so I said no.
Who the hell does this?
WHAT'S AWFUL: Home tattooing, asking someone who doesn't even know how to tattoo to give you one.
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: I stumbled upon this as I am following multiple piercing blogs. Forgive me If the source is incorrect, i'm still getting used to my macbook.
WHAT'S AWFUL: Everything in this image looks wrong. The hip piercings have incorrect jewelry (straight barbells) and are clearly rejecting, both navel piercings are extremely shallow, the tattoo surrounding the navel is off centered with wonky lines, and the bottom tattoo has wonky lines, is crooked, and has awful writing as well.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: HELP! There are too many thing's wrong to accurately say how it can be fixed.
So, there was a girl at school who told me she was getting a tattoo done…in her house. By a guy who is apparently licensed, from what i know he's around 19, and probably a scratcher; not a professional.
This is how this type of tattoo should look:
And, this is how hers looks:
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: The girl told me in class she was getting a tattoo done, and i was rather excited for her; until she told me it was being done in her house. I legit asked if she was stupid for making a decision like that and she responded that it was okay because she knows him. When we got back to school and I saw it in person I cringed because of how wonky it looks and from the horrible shading in it is. I asked how many years of experience the guy had and she said he had his license which…doesn't really explain anything. She's incredibly proud of it but everyone I've talked too has said the same thing I did to her. What I mostly fear is that if his outline of a really simple tattoo is this bad…what would big tattoos that include detail look like?
WHAT'S AWFUL: Everything about the tattoo, the knowledge of the girl who was tattoo'd on, the tattooist himself.
So, I see a lot on tumblr and facebook about people poorly stretching their ears. I've got a little story. I had been stretching for five years. The last three I stretched properly and slowly, but for the first two I was young and super stupid. My ears were totally wrecked and I just spent a grand and a half getting my ears sewn up because they looked terrible. STRETCH THE RIGHT WAY! It's not worth it to skip sizes and stretch too fast just to get to the size you want.
Source Unknown.
But I saw this as a good thing to give to the blog, showing a microscopic view of hypodermic needles after multiple uses. Since they are constructed out of the same material that piercing needles are, you can see the damage reusing piercing needles can be.
Need to say stop posting the crap. More people that watch this. More YouTube rates the video
Followers could always give the video negative votes and also comment on the video itself. And looking at the comments and good/bad votes, they have.
Though…guys, I know the girl in this video is doing some dumb stuff, but I really don't think the people in these videos are really aware of HOW bad it is. I know I wasn't when I first started learning about mods. Now I am. Nice, corrective comments are not bad, but please don't be assholes. Seriously.
Hayley and I are trying to get better at editing posts and calling people out for being assholes or giving incorrect advice (it will help our followers and the submitter understand).
And I think that's also a big part of the problem with people thinking we're assholes…because a lot of the submissions say rude shit. Like, I get it, I'm thinking about the SAME THING half the time, but it doesn't help anyone to put it like that.
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: I was browsing through youtube searching for bridge piercings, when I came across a video of this girl in the "Related Videos" part. I was shocked at first, and I got even more shocked when I went through her channel. There are a lot of piercing gun gems including LIP PIERCINGS with a gun. Also, when people try to correct her in the comments she just says "shut the fuck up, you have no idea of what you're talking about." or something like that (but she also mentions she had a lot of issues with her nose piercings in another video's comments, proving that her experience wasn't pleasing).
WHAT'S AWFUL: Self piercings done with a gun (which can damage your cartilage), in many unsterile environments (germs and bacteria everywhere). She not only does on herself but also does on her friends. Dangerous in so many ways.
HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Stop piercing with a gun. In unsterile environments. Actually, stop piercing yourself and your friends COMPLETELY until you get a piercing license. Take out the piercings if they show problems and don't use inadequate jewellery (such as butterfly-ended[?] earrings)
(sorry for any language mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker :/)
Source: My photo, my ears
What's awful: I got these done when I was really young at Claire's and they are horribly crooked. The left photo is fine, that's how I wanted these piercings to turn out. The right photo just makes me want to cry. Both ears look completely different. It's like the lady who pierced the second holes was blind or something… it's so obvious how wonky they are.
How it can be fixed: I talked to a professional piercer who said he could definitely make another hole between the first and second, where the original second was SUPPOSED to be. NEVER GET YOUR EARS DONE AT CLAIRE'S, OR ANY OTHER PLACE THAT USES A GUN AND DOESN'T TRAIN ITS STAFF. You could end up with depressingly lopsided ears like mine. :(
STATE (and city): Rochester, NY
Name of the shop and the artist you dealt with: Dorje Adornments (And they have a tumblr! Follow, follow!) and I was pierced by Nick
What you had done: Scaffold/Industrial
WHY you'd recommend them: It healed PERFECTLY except for the usual scaffold bar issue. I swapped it out for two short pieces and it's doing just fine, and soon the long barbell will be back in my happy, healthy hole :) Nick is an absolute teddybear, a very kind person who knows his stuff (I got a bro-hoof from him because of my Brony shirt! Bronies unite!) I give his shop info to EVERYONE I know from school who wants any sort of piercing. and as soon as my best friend turns 15 (I'll almost be 17 when that happens… i feel old, despite only being 16) me and her mother are going to take her there for her nostril piercing :)
And now, why i love you, awfulmods. Thanks for supplying me with the resources to do everything right. Thanks to you I knew what to do when I grappled with the bump on my scaffold, how to stretch my ears properly (still on a 14g, but proud of it because I'm goin' slooooooooow!). You helped me realize it wasn't my fault that my earlobes went mad after I got them done at Claire's as a little kid, I had all symptoms associated with the gun and alcohol… So now, I have money in my "pro piercing account" jar for my second holes, with a needle, no guns! Wish me luck today on getting my conch pierced. I love you all, awfulmods moderators and fans <3 Keep doing the awesome stuff y'all do. <3<3<3
Source: My ear
Submitter Comment: So I've been at 5/8" for about 8 months and thought my ears had dead stretched to 3/4" because my jewelry kept falling out and I could almost get my 3/4" plugs in. I was so excited, istead of just taping my existing plugs like a normal person, I put silicone in my lobes because I figured I was close enough already that it couldn't hurt. Oh how wrong I was. At least, with my right ear anyway. My left lobe looked fine when I took the silicone out to shower.
What's Awful: Stretching with silicone. Don't do it, kids!
How It Can Be Fixed: Not using silicone, for starters. As you can see, I'm leaving my lobe naked and I've covered my ear in triple antibiotic ointment. When it's not so raw and pissed off I'll start doing sea salt soaks and when I'm able to wear jewelry in it again, I'll be sure to take extra time and care in getting back to 3/4"
Also DO NOT FORGET 17mm and 18mm!! It will ease your stretching process and help prevent this kind of thing from happening. :)

Reg. # 81166 6940 RR001 Collectively summarized, based on a report by Margret Staeger – founding member of the School. The German Language School was founded more than 50 years ago. There have been many difficult times in the past. We should be thankful to all the teachers, parents, and students for helping the school during 50 years of history. The professional success of many of our former students demonstrates the importance of our contribution to their development. After World War II and the terrible destruction of Europe, many immigrants coming to Canada were signed by hardship of the past and tried to find a better life in the new country. Immigrants coming from the German speaking parts of Europe settled also in Oshawa. When they had children, the wish came about to have their children educated in their native language as well as preserving the traditional and cultural values. In May 1955 the Club Loreley in Oshawa was founded. Soon people were hearing in Toronto the children have a German School. The members of the Club Loreley knew now that was exactly what they wanted. In 1960 on a hot summer's day in the Ukrainian Hall (Bloor / Simcoe St) 35 determined adults, willing to use any means possible established the German Language School in Oshawa but still many things had to be organized until lessons could start. The German Consulate Toronto provided the textbooks and the Oshawa Board of Education allowed to rent out basement rooms of the old King Street School for a small price. In September 1960 started the school with 43 students and 2 teachers. Already in winter 1961 the school moved to the newly built Club building on Dean Ave.The number of students enrolled grew to 71. Therefore 3 classrooms had been required. Even the Club's kitchen and storage rooms had been improvised to accommodate classrooms. In 1978 the Board of Education approved the outlines of the German Classes and curriculum of classes was now recognized as per general standards. Growing student enrolment to 115 in 1984 made it necessary for the school to move to the Central Collegiate Institute. For the first time students and teachers could enjoy real classrooms. In 1989 the heritage language program was enhanced by credit classes 10, 11 and OAC. In 2005 the GLS Loreley was registered as a not for profit charitable organization and has since operated independently at the new location of the Immanuel Christian School in Oshawa. The GLS Loreley continuously improves the quality of teaching, instructors attend regular professional development and continuous education activities. We rely heavily on volunteers to maintain and improve the school and its operations. The school is associated with Canadian Association of German Language School and receives some funding from the German Consulate Toronto. Student registration fees and donations mostly fund the school. Cultural events are part of the curriculum to underline German traditions and awareness such as Christmas, Carnivals and Year End Party Let's all hope that the German Language School will continue to serve the citizens of Durham for a long time, to keep the German Heritage alive.Location/Register

It looks like Holly Madison is getting ready for one of her favorite holidays of the year: Halloween! The reality television star and celebrity mom has been sharing some rather festive pics on her Instagram account, including a very cute one of her daughter Rainbow looking like the cute pumpkin that she is!
I don't know if it's just me, but something tells me that Holly might be dressed as one of the characters from The Wizard of Oz this year. But that's just my guess. That, or she just loves wearing her Glinda crown everywhere she goes!
Check out our photos below from Holly's Instagram account, and let us know what you think!

Highlights for this season include a seductive world premiere, inspired by the beloved Mexican celebration Dia de los Muertos, and the premiere of an all-male dance that turns a playful eye on stereotypes. http://www.cityguideny.com/eventinfo.cfm?id=139019 Apollo Theater true DD/MM/YYYY
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
Ballet Hispanico, recognized as the nation's leading Latino dance organization since 1970, returns to the legendary Apollo Theater, following last season's sold-out holiday performance. The performance is sponsored by Goya Foods.
Highlights include a seductive world premiere by Edgar Zendejas inspired by the beloved Mexican celebration "Día de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead), and the Apollo premiere of Belgian-Colombian Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's Sombrerísimo, an athletic tour de force for six male dancers. The world premiere of Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro's Hogar will be set to vibrant live music by Ljova and the Kontraband, a mix of classical, Latin, and gypsy melodies.
The Apollo Theater is located at 253 W. 125th Street, NYC. Tickets start at $28 and are available for purchase in person at the Apollo Theater Box Office, or through Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000 or online here.
Venue Description: Apollo Amateur Night continues to demand and reward greatness, spurring performers to put every fiber of their being, every ounce of their emotion into pleasing the audiences that can make them an Apollo legend.
The world famous Apollo Theater is so much more than a historic landmark - it is a source of pride and a symbol of the brilliance of American artistic accomplishment. With its rich history and continued significance, the Apollo Theater, considered the bastion of African-American culture and achievement, is one of the most fascinating chronicles in American history.
It all started in 1914 when the theater was constructed on 125th Street, the heart of Harlem. Originally, it was named Hurtig and Seamon's New Burlesque Theatre and African-Americans were not allowed in the audience. In 1934: Ralph Cooper, Sr. decided to do a live version of his already popular radio show, Amateur Nite Hour at the Apollo, at the Apollo Theater, then owned by the Schiffman family. Ella Fitzgerald was one of the first Amateur Night winners. That same year, Cooper, Benny Carter and 16 Gorgeous Hot Steppers dazzled the crowds with the theater's first 'Colored Revue.' Then in 1935, Bessie Smith made her Apollo debut followed by an unknown vocalist by the name of Billie Holiday who graced the Apollo stage and mesmerized the audience with her undeniable style and talent. Soon thereafter, the Apollo Theater quickly became known the place 'Where Stars are Born and Legends are Made' and 'home' to thousands of major performance artists, fans, and patrons of the arts from around the world. The legendary venue has launched the careers of icons such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, James Brown and Lauryn Hill and continues to maintain its position as the nation's most popular arena for emerging and established African-American and Latino performers.

Stayed here last weekend with my daughter during a college visit to Baylor. Rooms were in good shape. It was cold when we were there and we needed the heater on. It worked fine but it was older and loud. Had to turn it off before bed because of the sound. Breakfast was not included which is something we didn't... More

I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to Gracie Gold...
I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to Gracie Gold...
Yeah, you pretty much summed it up.
The thing is the 2008 Nationals in the ladies division looked a lot like the 2000 nationals with Meissner playing the role of Kwan;
and Zhang, Flatt, Wagner, and Nagasu playing the role of Cohen, Hughes, Kirk, and Nam.
The only difference was that Kwan was able to hold off the Newbies, and Meissner was unable to.
This left
Zhang (who had technique problems that the judges started hammering overnight)
Wagner (who after that Nationals, had short program problems that killed her chances in competition)
Nagasu (who could rack up a lead in the short program, but couldn't keep it, giving her the infamous "headcase" label)
Flatt (who was consistent to a point, but didn't have enough firepower to keep up with Asada and Kim)
Czisny (whose skating makes Jekeyll and Hyde seem unextreme)
Now, Czisny did manage to land her jumps and win the Grand Prix Final, but she followed that up 1.5 years later with 22nd place at worlds. I would be surprised if her carer isn't over.
Flatt had that tibiagate thing, and has fallen out of favor with the USFS. Now at Stanford (IMO, the college with the hardest workload in the world), her skating career appears to be over.
Wagner managed to win 4CC (on home ice...it seems as if that's the only place where US Ladies can win 4CC). But then her short program demons resurfaced at Worlds 2012 costing her a medal. It remains to be seen if her "breakthrough" was temporary or permanent.
After re-inventing herself during the 2011-2012 season, Zhang got hammered by the judges at 2013 Nats for UR's. Her technical content is lacking, and she has never broken 177 for a total score EVER, nationally or internationally.
Nagasu also struggled with URs in the LP. She seems to show a lot of potential, but never realize it.
The amazing thing is that while being on the senior International Circuit for only 2.5 years, Kimmie still has a greater career than either of those five.
The Best US Ladies skater always finished 4th-7th at Worlds or Olympics.
Meissner (4th 2007 Worlds)
Meissner (7th 2008 Worlds)
Flatt (5th 2009 Worlds)
Nagasu (4th 2010 Olympics)
Nagasu (7th 2010 Worlds)
Czisny (5th 2011 Worlds)
Wagner (4th 2012 Worlds)
The Gold medalist at the 2014 Olympics will almost certainly break 200 for a total score. Unfortunately, I think that the ceiling for all of the US Ladies is below that.
BTW: Christina Gao is extraordinarily beautiful:
It's obvious to me during the period that Kwan and Cohen dominated 2003-06 that there were not a lot of talented Junior skaters in the pipeline. If there were then there would been more depth for the US after they both retired in 2006. Instead it was up to Kimmie who was only 16 and Hughes who was never going to be a champion to carry on until the Junior ranks had some talent. To bad there was not a veteran skater or two that was at least competitive when Kwan and Cohan called it quits so the Junior kids didn't have to get pushed so quickly when they were not ready.
I'd say if anyone started getting hammered overnight for their technique it was Mirai. I remember Caroline getting hammered at her very first grand prix event @ Skate America 2007. She had a ridiculously high number of jump downgrades but still managed to win bronze because the rest of the field was horrible. Mirai seemed to get hammered out of nowhere sometime after she won her first national title.
Well, if you sort of think about it, Rachel Flatt was effectively Hughes' replacement for two years - dependable, if unimpressive on the top level.
But after Flatt went cold, that was it. Czisny and Nagasu, depends on the weather. Wagner, seemed to be on a hot streak but may have stepped into the refrigerator. Zhang, hindered by technical issues. Gold, experiencing growing pains under intense spotlight.
I had to look up that comp to remember whom she beat. Even with a mediocre score of 153.35, she beat Emily Hughes, Mira Leung, Elene Gedevanishvili (I think this was around the time her mother got deported from Russia), Alexandra Ievleva (the forgotten Crapova Sister), Mai Asada, Tuğba Karademir, Valentina Marchei, and Xu Binshu. The scores for finishers 4-11 were 140 - 112 points. So yeah, not a strong field.
"...some people are moulded by their admiration, others by their hostilities.
― Elizabeth Bowen, The Death of the Heart
I think the writing on the wall was further evident for US ladies if you go back and analyze the ranks of skaters just below Kwan - Cohen in the '03 - '06 cycle -
Kirk, Nikodinov, McDonough and Liang were promising in certain respects, and perhaps 1 or 2 of them would've become top competitors in the '07 - '10 cycle had things worked out differently, but each dealt with their issues. Kirk and McDonough found no joy in skating. I'm not sure about Liang ...
OK, Nikodinov was a holdover from '98 - '02, so probably not her specifically.
I'm sure if any of them had blossomed in this time period, it would've contributed to a richer scene alongside Kimmie and Emily in the '07 - '10 quadrennial. This further contributed to the 'big hole' I discussed earlier.
Kirk didn't have the "IT" factor to be a top dog, but at least she went for all of her triples most of the times.
Nikodinov couldn't control her double-itis and thus would've never become the #1 seed. Who else in the world consistently doubled everything after one mistake? That "strategy" never made sense to me.
Liang was way too inconsistent.
McDonough - I think her skating became lackluster after she matured. I couldn't see why some people were raving about her spins and jump, because I didn't see anything special about them when she was in Senior. Most of her triples had the obvious hooked landings that would've downgraded them, and all her programs looked the same since she basically did the same jump layouts in all of them.
^I don't quite get what you mean re: Nikodinov - are you saying she deliberately doubled her jumps?
Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. George Orwell
I was speaking of these ladies in general terms as stronger contenders, not necessarily winners of World's medals or National's crowns, just solid podium favorites at Nationals with a narrower gap between them and the Kwan / Cohen juggernaut, and perhaps top 10 Worlds favorites. For example, Kirk would go to Worlds and finish around 15th. I think if her life's circumstances had been different (death of her mother led to lack of interest in skating), she may have been able to give more to the sport and finished top 10 at Worlds. And Liang (remember the 3z-3l?) and McDonough IMO had a more raw talent than Kirk, so they could've also been top 10 at Worlds and ready for a move further up the ranks in the '07 - '10 era after Kwan and Cohen left, forming a cluster of elite ladies (along w/ Meissner and Hughes 2.0) that would've really given the US a deep bench. Again, those aforementioned ladies may not have been world-beaters, but if things had gone better in their skating lives, they would've given the US a deeper, reliable group to call upon when things went wrong with Meissner and Hughes, instead of relying on inexperienced Juniors
I think the etymology of the JPN ladies is interesting and a lesson of things going RIGHT:
Dependable and lovely, Fumie Suguri became the 1st solid JPN skater over a decade ago, medalling at Worlds and together w/ Yoshie Onda, who had also struggled a bit going back to around 2000 but got it together, getting the JPN ladies 3 spots for '03 (I think). It just so happened that at the same time, Shizuka Arakawa finally realized her potential and wunderkind junior Miki Ando exploded onto the scene. Then, Mao burst onto the 2005 GP series and became a full-fledged Senior in '06 - '07. Arakawa and Ando had a bad year in '05 and '06 respectively, but Fumie was there, super dependable through '06 which allowed the JPN ladies to keep 3 spots. She was always luckily giving the right performance at the right time. And let's not forget Yukari Nakano, who 'covered' for Ando having a crap year in '08, still keeping 3 spots for JPN into '09. Then finally Akiko Suzuki started up the ladder in '08 or '09. Probably motivated by what she saw around her on her country's skating scene.
That's what happens when you have a deep dependable bench. A lot of times, they motivate eachother and not everyone will be a world beater, but they are there doing their best when they need to.
It's kind of the opposite of US ladies right now,

I think the US ladies right now have a lot more depth then say in the last Olympic year back in 2010.

^Yes. Please don't misunderstand me. I think they are in better shape than the last couple of seasons. But, I think we need more clutch performers.
I think part of the problem is COP makes these skaters have to a lot more then the skaters had to do during 6.0. Would Kwan or Lipinksi have been as consistent if they had to do all the elements they have to do now? On the other hand i rarely if ever saw Michelle or Tara look terrified like certain US skaters do now.

SadnessJanuary 17th 2014 11:07 pm[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ]
Meowmie is so sad. She keeps trying to save our pages, but she can't do it. She seems a million miles away...she starts to save something, then she reads something one of us wrote in our diaries and she stops and cries. I don't know what to do. I cannot believe that there will be no more Catster. I have been here for 7 years. Meowmie is afraid she will lose all our friends somehow. She is heartbroken that she lost Reno's slideshow yesterday trying to save his page. She only has one photo of Reno. That made her cry alot. Meowmie said she feels sick right now. If you want to keep in contact with us, send your email or facebook link to our pawmail. Well, I guess I gotta go. Meowmie is crying again. I am in shock!October 28th 2013 7:46 pm[ Leave A Comment | 9 people already have ]
Meowmie found out today that I was chosen as...CAT OF THE WEEK! That is an honor I never thought would be bestowed upon me. Someone should slap me in the face with a slice of pizza. Meowmie is so happy for me! She said this is such a great honor. Thank you to the Catster Overlords for choosing me! You guys wont mind if I take a few hundred cat naps this week, will you? BrokenheartedOctober 22nd 2013 5:12 pm[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]
Thanks to the Catster Overlords for choosing me as one of the DDP's yesterday. In usual form, Mom missed it. Slacker. But, she has been spending a lot of time with me as the weather changes. She can't find my heating pad. She said if she can't find it by Saturday morning, I get a new one. Cool. Thanks to Smiley Cassanova and Buddie for never forgetting me when I win DDP. Unlike Meowmie. Why I love being a cat.October 18th 2013 4:16 am[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
I love being a cat because it's always ok to be lazy. Well, there is that pesky fact that I am a senior citizen cat, but I mean just lazy to be lazy. Having Meowmie baby me all day was a bonus. You see, I am most definitely getting older, but I have not lost one ounce of my spunk. So, anyway back to the lazy thing...Meowmie kept me covered except for my head. She took lots of little nappies with me, but those teenager humans kept calling for rides to school, from school, back to school...make up your minds boys! Then Meowmie, daddy and the little human went to a football game. They were gone two hours because I counted. I had Sasha, Buddy, Karisma and Whiskers napping with me on the bed. Bella was kicking it with Scooby. I was so happy to see Meowmie! She was tired from driving all day. She did not mean to, but she snuggled up to me and we went to sleep for hours!! She woke up yelling! She forgot to take her ankle brace thingy off and her foot hurt really bad. Then, since she was up hopping around...we all decided we were hungry. Really hungry. So we forced her into the kitchen. Karisma and Sasha closely supervised the opening of cat food cans. Oh, and that..dog...he was hungry too. Meowmie fed sir barks alot first so he would not bug us. Then she divided up the two cans of cat food six ways...she put Bella, Sasha, and Karisma on the counter and Whiskers, Buddy and myself ran into the bedroom chasing our bowls! Yum! Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I drink alot of water. We do not have that water fountain thingy here. So, Meowmie went and got one yesterday. Karisma did not quite understand the concept, so she took her paws swimming. I took some drinks to show my approval. Then Karisma realized it was for drinkies. Silly baby cat. I love her tho, because she is so snuggly. Ok, I guess that is all for now. I woke Meowmie early because I was hungry again. So, Meowmie fed all of us...including sir barks alot again and...well...nom nom nom. I am going to take my happy belly and go back to sleep. Meowmie has to leave soon anyway to drive the humans all over the place. I need better minionsOctober 12th 2013 12:17 pm[ Leave A Comment ]
Thanks Mom. I know you have been sick but you missed my win as one of the Daily Diary Picks for Sept. 30th. You should be paying better attention to all of my little milestones, and I am a distinguished older gentle-cat. Hmmmph. LasagneSeptember 28th 2013 4:42 pm[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]
I may not be Garfield the cat, but I love Lasagne! In fact, meowmie is making some right now. I cannot wait until I can smell it cooking. That is the happiest smell that I know...except for Pizza. Nothing trumps Pizza. I cannot wait til meowmie starts to eat and I go over and stick my claws in her leg so there is no delay in my receiving some gooey cheese. Yummy in my tummy!!! How long until it's done meowmie? I have a hungry right now, and no the dry food you gave me does not take the place of lasagne. Me as an old man cat.September 26th 2013 4:25 pm[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ] Well, it seems that I am turning a corner. I have lost a lot of weight. Meowmie is trying to fatten me up with cat food. So how do I reward her? I went pee on the floor. So now what, meowmie???? Take my picture!August 21st 2013 9:44 pm[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ] Meowmie got a nice, expensive new camera. She needs to take pictures of ME. That is all. For now. Pizza.August 12th 2013 7:37 pm[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ]
Everyone knows how much I love pizza! Well, I am such a happy boy right now! There has been no pizza here..you know..from a pizza restaurant for quite a while. And by quite a while, I mean a week. Time slips by quickly for us cats. So a week in human time is like a month in cat time. And I am not getting any younger, so I would like to nom on as much pizza as possible. Dad just ordered pizza from a new place called Garibaldi's..sound Italian so it must be good. It is over by the university...college kids know good pizza too, right? The more I think about this pizza coming home, the happier I get. I am going to lie down on my bed and think about pizza, the most wonderful food ever created. Mmmm..Pizza!!! It's what for dinner! mol, I heard meowmie say that. In memory of Poo...August 11th 2013 11:27 am[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
Poo...another California cat has gone to the bridge today. He was diagnosed with cancer of his throat back in April. Why do us cats get cancer? Why do we have to die in pain?? Well, I know in Poo's case, he did not suffer. He has the best pawrents ever. It was hard for them to let Poo go...they have had him since he was adopted as a kitten..and he is now 12 years old. That is a forever lifetime to us cats. Well, I gathered all the kitties here and Scooby and told them all about Poo. Karisma does not understand why we were all so sad and softly purring. Scooby, who is still learning the cat language did understand, and he is just lying on the floor. The rest of us are in our usual spots, but we are being reflective and thoughtful. So many kitties with cancer...why? I could live to be a million and still never understand why...Poo, do not be scared when you make your journey to the bridge...you are being sent with love. It will be ok. You will see. So many of us are purring for you. And we will purr for your pawrents. That's all I have to say. I am trying to maintain my cat-posure but I am starting to crack. I am glad we used all our zealies to send love to Poo. |

Actually, Motorola has been making one for a while, but they upgraded it with Razr's arrival. It's also sold through Verizon, if you have a corporate discount you can use.
P893 UNIVERSAL PORTABLE POWER PACK - Overview - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA
I purchased my Razr at Costco and it came with a Motorola portable battery charger (it's the item with the teal plug):
I have only needed it a couple times because I typically get 8-10 hours of battery life, and even more if I remember to turn off 4G when I don't need it. However, the battery charger seems to provide an additional 50-60% battery charge when needed. I really think all the battery talk is blown out of proportion. None of the 4G devices have outstanding battery life, so everyone should just be prepared to plug the device in when possible, and have an alternate power source (battery or charger) for long days without access to a normal charger.
Last edited by Lars; 12-23-2011 at 11:31 AM.
The teal one is the older version, P793, with 1420 mAh. The current one is P893 with 1800 mAh capacity in the same exact size (but gray cord instead of teal). Verizon has the same exact name for them (Motorola Universal Power Pack), but the old one model number ends on PWR1, the new one, on PWR2. If you're ordering one, make sure it's the new one.
It's a solid phone. I can a full day on it with moderate usage. 4G is alot better than it used to be after the ota update that was released 3 days ago. So overall its a solid phone compared to the bionic.
Sent from my DROID RAZR
if i get this phone i would most likely get some kind of extra battery charger, how much is that P893 Motorola power pack anyway? it doesn't say on the site.
on a side note the ICS update....i know this is a stupid question because no one really knows when its coming. but I'm hear about bionic getting maybe two more updates before it gets ICS do we know anything about the Razr and if it will just go right to ICS (if so.. that most likely means it will come sooner, right?)
In all honesty...they are so similar if you aren't having any problems, why get rid of your bionic?
It its the docks or form factor, I can see. I'm sure the bionic will run ics fine. They really are so similar they both should run ics the same.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

The RAZR is worth it if for nothing other than the improved screen (sAMOLED > LCD). If it's a no cost exchange, it's a no brainer.
I had the Bionic (1 week) and traded for the Razr. I didn't have great battery life with the Bionic, about the same with the Razr (w/4G use). Pretty much I only use 4G for large files, like Podcast downloads, Netflix, Youtube, NFL video, ect. But for my normal daily use (90% of time), like Facebook, Twitter, Droid Forums, Web Browsing, Pandora, GPS, I use 3G, which is more than enough speed. And for home use I use WIFI which does well, like I've always used with all my Droids.
I'm getting about as much battery as my Droid X, if not more, with my Razr.
That, plus the slightly fast processor, awesome design (thinness/weight), super AMOLED screen, quicker ICS update, upgrading to a Razr is a no-brainer.
I have the bionic and i'm wondering what makes you say the Razr will run ICS better. I don't know a ton about the differences, but everything I've read tells me they are almost exactly the same internally except the Razr is slightly overclocked. Will that make that big of a difference?
