PRODUCT EVALUATION: MOTOX NUTRITION; Improving your results
Kawasaki's Josh Creamer started using MXN products before the 2008 racing season. He not only took his KFX450R to a hard-fought fifth overall finish in the ATVA MX Nationals, he was also known as one of the best-conditioned racers of last year.
Associate Editor Brad Howe hit the starting line with all three Polaris Outlaws (450MXR, 525S & 525IRS), in three different fields of ATV racing. You can find this story on page 92 of this issue. After the first event Brad found himself unusually worn out, and nearly unable to compete after the first moto. He asked himself, "What could be wrong?" Months earlier, he started an exercise program in preparation. Yet, it seemed to make little difference. That's when he spoke with motocross trainer Marc Spataro at www.motoprotraining.com.
"Nutrition has a dramatic effect on the body and how it recovers from sports, training, and injuries," said Spatero. "Supplying the body with nutrients and hydration helps the recovery rate from training and injury by assuring that the proper building blocks are there to help. A well-hydrated body also performs better reducing the chances of injury. Individualized nutrition programs are the foundation to any successful athletic program. Invest in one of these programs and you will see just how quickly your physique and performance change."
After hearing this, Brad sought out a nutritional program called MotoX Nutrition. Over the course of six weeks Brad finished out the final two rounds of his Polaris race tests, while testing the MXN product. Here are his results.
Cynergy is a cellular super food that improves performance, increases endurance, reduces muscle fatigue, and boosts your immune response. This "super food" is an important addition for any athletic program, high stress lifestyle or daily boost for a quality of life balance.
Take two capsules daily. On event days, take two capsules upon waking and two capsules 45 minutes pre-event.
90 tablets
Endurogen may be the answer to riding harder, longer, faster and quicker recovery. Endurogen is fortified with an electrolyte complex of potassium, Sodium and Chloride. Essential for balance of electrolytes, they affect the amount of water in your body, blood pH, muscle action, and other important processes. It maximizes recovery and energy while buffering lactic acid. It boosts focus and eliminates arm pump.
: Take in two capsule servings, two to four times daily, spaced out by three hours or with food. On event days, take one serving pre-event and a second serving post event. To achieve optimal benefit, Endurogen should be taken consecutively for a minimum of 30 days. Some benefit may be observed from the first dose.
160 tablets
Neuro-FX is a cognitive enhancer that uses brain circulation agents and neurotransmitters to optimize your mind; that boosts overall performance and gives you more energy and optimize performance. This also increases mental alertness, reaction time and memory.
Take 1-2 capsules one to two times daily, preferably on an empty stomach. Do not take within four hours prior to sleep.
90 tablets
REM-X is an elite multi mineral matrix formulated to maximize recovery and boost healthy anabolic hormone levels, deep recuperative sleep, proper blood pH, cellular energy and cardiovascular health. Without the proper intake of minerals, levels of these vital hormones may fall, leading to poor recovery and performance. A study shows that a zinc and magnesium deficiency is common, but supplementing with these minerals can increase muscle strength, endurance, and recuperation.
Take four tablets 30-60 minutes prior to bedtime.
120 Tablets
After speaking with Christian from MotoX Nutrition, he sent the Cynergy, Endurogen, Neuro-FX and Rem-X so I could prepare for the next race. There was about a four-week wait for the next race, which was the ideal amount of time since MXN says the Endurogen product takes around a month to get the full affect.
I started taking the Endurogen on a Monday, four weeks before my GNCC race at Unadilla. Since it took more time than the others, I wanted to make sure I'd get the full effect by race day. I continued to take the Endurogen, while maintaining a steady workout schedule throughout the four weeks before the race. I am not big into lifting weights, so I ran three to four miles a day from Tuesday through Saturday. This included riding at least two days throughout the week. This was the same run/ride schedule I used before I started using MXN.
After just a few days of taking the Endurogen, I noticed a slight difference in my run program, but nothing significant. However, about the three-week mark, my energy level was improved, and I found myself wanting to extend my runs.
Since the race was on a Saturday, I began taking the Cynergy and Neuro-FX products on the Wednesday morning before race day. Ending the days off with the Rem-X, and giving myself a day of rest on Friday.
My race started at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, so I took the Endurogen, Cynergy and Neuro-FX around 7 a.m. I didn't want to eat a huge breakfast, so I followed the vitamins up with a small EAS chocolate protein shake suggested by Christian. My energy level was up, and I felt great.
After the race, I followed up by taking two more Endurogen capsules. I finished sixth in my Sportsman class, and 17th overall in the morning class at the Unadilla GNCC. After two hours of racing, I was tired. But compared to the last (shorter) MX race, it was a hands down difference in energy. Aside from that, I didn't get one bit of arm pump.
MotoX Nutrition's program is beginning to make a name for itself in the Pro pits. It improved Associate Editor Brad Howe's performance during the race, and energy after his race, and even improved his weekday workout schedule. If you are unsure about this program, samples are available to try, as well as a Race Weekend package. The first 100 readers who sign up can receive a free trial sample kit. If you are not the first 100, you can still purchase a sample kit for $10. A full weekend package is also available for $19.99 plus $4.99 priority shipping.
You can purchase the Cynergy, Endurogen, Neuro-FX and Rem-X product at www.motoxnutrition.com, or by calling (360) 335-1790.
Dirt Wheels:
Do you suggest taking these supplements on a day-to-day basis?
Christian Chambers:
Our typical rider starts on the Thursday of a race weekend until Sunday night, finishing off with the REM-X. Only a few riders who race pro and train all week, or need the extra boost, will need to take them all the time. Taking them on a daily basis will improve the results as well. Even one sample, prior to a race, will give a boost; that's how we built our name.
What is the importance of a set fitness program when using MotoX Nutrition products?
It is helpful of course. The MXN products are really able to help recovery and give a quick burst of improved conditioning on the track. The more components that support a rider physically can only help. Not everyone can ride and train full time, so this can make up for a lot on the track. We can't all be in the condition of a John Natalie all season.
Do you offer your riders training techniques or advice?
We do offer some support. Initially, MotoX Nutrition was just about the performance supplements, but it has evolved more into training and performance nutrition as well. We have a MXN Phase I workout that gives an initial starting place. There is a heavy emphasis on back and core strength. This has helped many riders and has proven to be very effective.
Do you feel a good training regimen and supplements could be a way of injury prevention?
Absolutely. In many direct and indirect ways. Training can help to strengthen tendons and help the rider to physically control the ATV better. The supplements and training both help to reduce rider fatigue, which will reduce costly mistakes, whether it be for a podium finish or lessen rider error, which might result in injury, and perhaps a lost season or championship run.
Is it different for a Pro versus an Amateur?
There isn't any difference between pro and amateur. Both are hungry to win and being able to charge 100 percent until the checkered flag means just as much to both levels. The usage protocol we send is the same for both.
How important is hydration with use of the supplements?
Proper hydration is huge, regardless of taking the supplements. It's crucial to allow water to help flush lactic acid out and to help hydrate the muscle cells for proper firing (muscle contractions) when riding or working out. Just ask a couple of my endurance riders like Tim Shelman, Bryan Cook or Santo Derisi. A full gallon of water the day prior to the event is the minimum. Then tapering it off into the day of the race. It's important to remember, proper hydration occurs days leading into an event. Sucking down as much as you can the day of a race isn't a good idea, and will result in a bloated feeling.
One of our testers felt upset stomach after taking MXN. Is there a way to prevent this?
Sure. There are many factors at play here. What the rider ate prior to the event, how nervous they are etc. I could talk all day about these factors. But a small percentage of individuals may be sensitive to the B-Vitamins in the Endurogen. If you add that to a highly acidic environment of a nervous individual, your body may decide it doesn't want any supplements, or food for that matter, in the stomach. There are a few herbal supplements I use and send personally to a couple of riders who experience nausea prior to a race. This nausea issue was a problem for Keith Little his whole career. I gave him a few capsules of this herb and five minutes later, he was good to go. I am happy to help a rider with anything that will improve their race program.
Which top ATV pros are you sponsoring this upcoming 2009 race season?
Riders who are 100 percent next year, a few include: WORCS—Josh Fredericks, Tim "TPQ" Shelman, Brandon Brown, Doug Eichner ATVA- Josh Creamer, Keith Little, Jeremy Lawson, John Natalie. GNCC—Bryan Cook, Santo Derisi, Brent Sturdivant. •

ConocoPhillips talks joint venture with Russia's LUKOIL
ConocoPhillips, the U.S.'s third largest oil company, is negotiating a joint venture with LUKOIL, Russia's second largest oil company, LUKOIL officials said.
ConocoPhillips is not the only company talking to LUKOIL, as ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco are also in the running, but to date ConocoPhillips appears to be the front runner.
Executives on both sides said Vagit Alekperov, LUKOIL's chief executive, and James Mulva, chief executive of ConocoPhillips, had also discussed a broader deal that could lead to ConocoPhillips taking a 10% to 15% minority stake in LUKOIL worth $1.7 billion to $2.5 billion.
The groups have a history of cooperation, having signed a memorandum of understanding in 1999 for joint exploration of Russian oilfields.
Leonid Fedun, LUKOIL's vice president, said the ConocoPhillips venture proposal, discussed by the heads of the two companies in September, was for fields in the northern territories, said to hold 1 billion barrels of oil and 63 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
"Alekperov and Mulva met in New York where they discussed the potential creation of a JV. This process is under way," Fedun said. "It will be a Russian company, where Conoco will hold a stake."

That's right, turtles rule. Eat it, cat people.
Sep 26 2012
That's right, turtles rule. Eat it, cat people.
This is selective evidence.
And an unusually determined turtle. (That bowl-crossing is epic, never mind taking on TWO cats. Must be some special lettuce being threatened.)
Heh. My wife once watched a *preying mantis* face down her two cats. Domestic moggies aren't necessarily brave, adventuresome creatures.
I'm a bit disappointed
I expected the cat to close the door and lock the cats out
Somehow I think they may have started out with four cats but two were just slower than the others.
A Turtle in the Manger!
Quite surprising to see such an aggressive turtle. Did it think all those cat food bowls belonged to it?
Was that the turtle from Crimewave who said, "I'm captain of this elevator, and we're stopping at every floor!"
Of course, up here in Canada, we don't see these battles between cats and reptiles:
That Gator wouldn't stand a chance against this turtle, LMAO!
That's right, turtles rule. Eat it, cat people.
Oh yeah? I'll see your Cat-Chasing Turtle, and raise you a Kitten Riding a Tortoise.
Your argument is invalid.
That is the most awesome turtle I've ever seen. I've never really been a cat person, but I felt sorry for those poor cats, that turtle was not having any of them.
I still think I agree with Crommunist; Otters are the best.
Thanks for sharing that bit of cat abuse from an asshole tortoise. Just because you are unwilling to deal with the natural superiority of cats is no excuse for being hateful.

- Sources tell PrivCo Sina (SINA +6.6%) plans to launch a Weibo IPO as early as June. That's in-line with a recent WSJ report stating a Q2 offering is planned.
- Citing peer valuations (including those given to WhatsApp and Twitter), PrivCo thinks Weibo is worth up to $8B; the FT has reported Sina (current market cap of $4.7B) is aiming for a $7B-$8B valuation.
- Such a valuation would spell a windfall for Alibaba (ABABA), which bought an 18% stake in the Chinese microblogging leader last year at a $3.26B valuation, and has an option to up its stake to 30%.

Tuesday, Feb 255:51 PM
- Though up 163% Y/Y, Sina's (SINA -9.3%) Weibo ad sales were below Deutsche's forecast, says analyst Vivian Hao while taking stock of the company's Q4 report. Hao, who maintains a Buy on Sina, also notes earnings would've missed estimates if not for a $19.5M change in the fair value of investor option liability for Alibaba's Weibo investment.
- At the same time, she's pleased ad sales tied to Alibaba's Taobao and Tmall sites grew 19% Q/Q to $23.8M, aided by a shift to impression-based (CPM) pricing. Hao asserts Weibo's strategic value "remains solid" in the face of stiff competition, given the "scarcity of sizable mobile-popular marketing platforms in China," but also expects a spending ramp to once more pressure near-term margins.
- Sina mentioned on its CC (transcript) Weibo's daily active users rose 4% Q/Q and 36% Y/Y to 61.4M, after adjusting for a methodology change. Average time spent per Weibo DAU rose 3% Q/Q and 16% Y/Y, with mobile engagement growing and PC engagement slipping.

Monday, Feb 244:49 PM
- SINA expects Q1 revenue of $162M-$167M, in-line with a $165.2M consensus. Ad revenue is expected to total $133M-$136M, non-ad revenue $29M-$31M.
- Ad revenue +45% Y/Y in Q4 to $160.1M, a major pickup from Q3's 26% growth rate. Non-ad revenue +36% to $32.3M vs. only +5% in Q3.
- Weibo is the main reason growth has accelerated: Weibo ad revenue +163% Y/Y to $56M, Weibo non-ad revenue (data licensing, gaming, membership fees) +114% to $15.4M.
- Gross margin was 64%, flat Q/Q and +700 bps Y/Y. Opex +35% Y/Y, trailing revenue growth (43%) after exceeding it in many recent quarters.
- No Weibo IPO announcement has been made. The WSJ reported this morning Sina is eying a ~$500M Q2 IPO for Weibo.
- Q4 results, PR

Monday, Feb 2410:56 AM
- The WSJ reports Sina (SINA +4.5%) is planning a $500M Q2 IPO for Weibo, and has hired hired Credit Suisse and Goldman to handle the offering.
- The paper adds Alibaba (ABABA) will likely up its stake in Weibo to 30% from its current 18% (purchased last year for $568M) in the event of an IPO. Sina currently owns 71% of Weibo, a stake Barclays thinks is worth $4.1B; the company's total market cap currently stands at $5.1B.
- Sina has made huge strides in monetizing Weibo in recent quarters. The microblogging service's ad sales rose 46% Q/Q and 125% Y/Y in Q3 to $43.7M, and its value-added service revenue rose 26% Q/Q and 121% Y/Y to $9.7M.
- At the same time, Weibo's engagement rates have been pressured by the manic growth seen for Tencent's (TCEHY) WeChat mobile messaging platform. Weibo had 60.2M daily active users at the end of Q3, +11% Q/Q. WeChat ended Q3 with 271.9M monthly active users, +15% Q/Q.
- Sina might make an official announcement in tandem with this afternoon's Q4 report.

- U.S. and Chinese Internet stocks are adding to last week's big losses, as investors continue taking profits following major 2013 gains. Chinese stocks were hit last week by an emerging markets selloff, weak PMI data, and an SEC ban (pending appeal) on audits from the Chinese units of big-4 U.S. accounting firms.
- Twitter (TWTR -8.2%), the company bears are most likely to point to when arguing a new Internet stock bubble has formed, is headlining the U.S. decliners. Shares are still up 25% from their post-IPO opening trade of $45.10.
- Other U.S. decliners: GOOG -3.1%. FB -2.9%. YELP -5.3%. Z -5.1%. LNKD -4.3%. P -3.2%. ANGI -4.1%. ZNGA -3.1%. GRPN -3.1%.

- SEC administrative law judge Cameron Elliot has barred the Chinese units of the Big-4 accounting firms - KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, and Ernst & Young - from auditing U.S.-listed companies for six months.
- Elliot declares the accounting firms "willfully" chose to withhold audit work papers from U.S. regulators for Chinese companies being investigated for accounted fraud. The firms have been worried about violating Chinese privacy laws by turning over the papers, and have argued the dispute needs to be resolved politically.
- Though the firms plan to appeal and say they can continue serving Chinese clients for now, shares of Chinese Web and solar names aren't handling the news well. Soft Chinese PMI data could be worsening matters.
- Chinese Web decliners: BIDU -2.5%. SOHU -3.2%. DANG -8.9%. SFUN -8.5%. PWRD -8.5%. QUNR -7.1%. LITB -6.5%. YY -6.1%. WUBA -6%. BITA -5.4%. EJ -5.9%. SINA -4.6%. LITB -6.5%. CTRP -5.4%. NQ -7.1%.
- Chinese solar decliners: TSL -8.7%. JASO -6.9%. SOL -6.3%. JKS -5.6%. CSIQ -5.4%. DQ -4.6%. YGE -5.6%. CSUN -6.2%. HSOL -7.8%.
- Qihoo (QIHU -4.6%) has joined the selloff in spite of a BrightWire report stating Alibaba (ABABA) has reached a deal to acquire a stake in the company. Marbridge Consulting reported two weeks ago Qihoo and Alibaba were in talks about a possible investment.

- Chinese government agency CNNIC estimates Sina's (SINA -3.9%) Weibo user base fell 9% in 2013 to 281M, thanks to tough competition from Tencent's (TCEHY) WeChat mobile messaging platform.
- Sina, which has admitted in the past WeChat's rapid growth is pressuring Weibo engagement, had 60.2M Weibo daily active users in Q3. WeChat had 271.9M monthly active users as of Q3 (not an apples-to-apples comparison), and has 600M+ registered accounts, including over 100M outside of China.
- Altogether, CNNIC estimates China had 617.6M Internet users at the end of 2013, and 500.1M mobile Web users.

- Alibaba (ABABA), whose ambitions have been steadily expanding beyond e-commerce, plans to launch a mobile gaming platform for 3rd-party titles.
- The service will be aimed squarely at Chinese online/mobile gaming leader Tencent (TCEHY), and will give developers a hefty 70% cut. Alibaba also plans to integrate the service with its Laiwang messaging app (competes with Tencent's dominant WeChat) and the mobile app for its Taobao e-commerce platform.
- In addition to Tencent, Alibaba will be taking on a slew of other mobile game distributors, including NQ Mobile's (NQ +1.7%) FL Mobile unit.
- Chinese game developer Perfect World (PWRD +10.1%) has skyrocketed in morning trading. Peers Changyou (CYOU +4.1%) and NetEase (NTES +3.5%) are also up sharply.
- Also: Alibaba's Alipay online payments unit has struck a deal with Sina (SINA +1.5%) to allow Weibo users to make online and offline payments via Alipay. Sina investors have been expecting the company's partnership with Alibaba (bought an 18% stake last year) to yield service launches that would improve Weibo monetization.

- With high-flying Twitter (downgraded by Macquarie) leading the way, several Internet momentum plays that have delivered big 2013 gains are seeing some year-end profit-taking.
- In addition to Twitter, notable decliners include Netflix (NFLX -2.8%), Pandora (P -3.6%), Trulia (TRLA -2.7%), Zillow (Z -2.4%), and Groupon (GRPN -1.9%).
- On the other hand, many Chinese Internet names are adding to this year's gains. In addition to Baidu (buying Perfect World's e-book unit) and Ctrip (received a bullish T.H. Capital note), gainers include Sina (SINA +4.9%), Dangdang (DANG +4.8%), YY (YY +4%), 58.com (WUBA +3%), and NetEase (NTES +3.4%). An overnight Shanghai rally is likely helping.

- Though still generally below their mid-October highs, Internet momentum stocks are turning in what might be their best performance during a rally that has now lasted two weeks. While Twitter (previous) is the star of the show, Facebook (FB +3.5%), Yelp (YELP +1.8%), Groupon (GRPN +4.7%), Netflix (NFLX +2.1%), LinkedIn (LNKD +1.4%), and Pandora (P +3.4%) aren't getting left out.
- Several Chinese Internet names are also higher. In addition to Baidu, which is benefiting from a bullish Pac Crest note, Sina (SINA +6%), Ctrip (CTRP +6.1%), Qunar (QUNR +6.3%), and Youku (YOKU +3.9%) are staring at big gains.
- Morgan Stanley's Scott Devitt is out with another bullish note on Groupon. Devitt notes an MS survey of 358 SMBs found only 26% of merchants have run Groupon deals in the last 12 months, something he thinks suggests there's "a long run way of merchants" that can still be signed up.
- He also sees room for Groupon to improve its customer targeting - the company still isn't able to track which deals were shown to customers, or were clicked on, in prior e-mails - and expects its new site (allows deals to be browsed without an e-mail address being given) and a revamped e-mail layout to boost growth.

Using SystemRescueCd to recover partition data
Got Your Back
If your Linux or Windows system won't boot, or if you're worried that the hard disk is on its last legs, the first thing you need to do is rescue the partition data and copy it to a safe location.
Everyone has experienced the dreaded "file not found" and "missing operating system" messages. And, you've probably seen the error messages GRUB spits out, including: "Read Error," "Hard Disk Error," and even "No such partition." Plenty of problems can happen at boot time. And, of course, the practical result of all these problems is that you can't get to your data.
So, what happens when you can't recover a partition that contains valuable data? You either need to repair the disk or make a copy of the failed partition and get it to a remote system so that you can then mount it and obtain the data you need. Usually, this means finding a way to copy the partition, then transfer it across the network to a system that has the ability to mount the partition and obtain the data.

2006-02-20 14:17:09 asmuts [View]
Transactional distribution over JGroups cannot scale. The AOP overhead and complexity solves an uncommon problem at the expense of the standard case where you want to send an entire object over the wire. The overhead is rarely in the amount of data being sent, but in the sending an d receiving itself. The AOP solution seems horribly misguided. The locking sounds like a disaster, especially given the pessismistic strategy. I need a cache not a database. . . .
JCS is a far better alternative for a distributed cache:

I'd be itnerested to know why you said that our solution is not scalable? Have you used it already?
Even if "the Aop solution is misguided" (of which I certainly disagree), have you checked out our plain cache solution?

Global Builders - Haiti
An opportunity to bring sustainable change
Haiti has long been the poorest country in the western hemisphere. In a country with few building inspectors and poor construction techniques, it was only a matter of time before tragedy struck.When that tragedy appeared in the form of the January 2010 earthquake, the results were devastating. Thousands of buildings collapsed, killing 200,000 people and leaving well over a million people living in tent camps.
Today, hundreds of thousands are still living in tents and permanent housing is Haiti's greatest need. Our volunteers are helping Haitians get back on their feet by building highly earthquake- and hurricane-resistant houses.

Note: The Fuller Center is closely monitoring the cholera situation in Haiti and has prepared a Haiti Cholera Health Statement. For the latest travel advice regarding cholera, please go to the Centers for Disease Control's Cholera in Haiti page.
Teams are scheduled to go to two locations:
Gressier (near Leogane) - Located near the epicenter of the earthquake and somewhat of a short drive from Port-au-Prince, we have partnered with Grace International to form a Covenant Partner called Grace Fuller Center for Housing. Our first site is several miles east of Leogane at a site named Lambi, where we have 7 acres of land and plans to build 70-90 homes. In addition to housing, we are helping to provide water, sanitation, and civic space.
The costs for our trips to Haiti will be about $980 - 1200, which include lodging, local transportation including airport pick-up, three meals per day, bottled water, security guards, travel health insurance, and a contribution toward building materials. Since factors like group size help determine the cost, we will work out a more accurate price after you submit your trip proposal.
Croix-des-Bouquets - In this community just east of Port-au-Prince, we are buliding small, economical homes in partnership with Homes from the Heart, whose founder Michael Bonderer also has partnered with us to build Fuller Center homes in San Luis Talpa, El Salvador. The homes are usually about 16 feet-by-16 feet, depending upon the sizes of the lots, which varies. "The recipients of these homes really like them, but they're not fancy," Bonderer said. "But they're shelter and a secure house for people to live in. That's what we originally promised, and that's what we are doing."
"We are now building and we're among the first organizations to be providing permanent shelter," Fuller Center President David Snell said. "We are moving forward with the important work of making decent housing a reality for the Haitian families who have suffered so much."
For more details on our work in Haiti, including house designs, a site master plan, family stories, and videos, please visit our main Haiti page.
Work Team FAQs
1. What is a typical schedule?Be ready to be flexible! Schedules can change quickly in Haiti. Rain storms, communication, material supplies and more are unpredictable. We work hard to consider all the possibilities in order to plan for an enjoyable and productive work week.
All trips will last one week, typically Sunday through Friday or Saturday. Sunday offers a chance for attending a Haitian worship service. Saturday or Sunday afternoons there will be opportunity for some of the limited R&R available in Haiti, which must be coordinated in advance.
During work days, a typical schedule will look like this:
6:00am - Devotions (optional)
7:00am - Breakfast
8:00-12:00pm - Worksite
12:00-1:00pm - Lunch (on site)
1:00-4:00pm - Worksite
6:00pm - Dinner
7:00 - Debriefing
9:00 - Bedtime
2. Will we have a chaperone or an interpreter?
Yes, Grace has a staff dedicated to making sure the group has a good experience and translators are included in the budget. Nevertheless, more than the words we say, working side-by-side with partner families and other Haitians to improve lives is a language that transcends barriers.
3. Do you have any special packing recommendations?
We've put together a Haiti packing list to help with that.
For those planning on attending worship services, please note that at church services in Haiti men are expected to wear dress pants (not jeans), and they often wear a necktie. Men do not wear hats or shorts in church. When in church the women are expected to wear a skirt or dress and do not wear pants, shorts, low cuts, or any exotic wear. It is also custom that ladies wear a head covering - a simple hat will do - in services.
Our partners in Haiti ask that participants leave all jewelry, including body piercing jewelry, at home, with the possible exception of wedding rings.
4. Can we bring any supplies, medicine, or toys with us? If so, what can we bring?
Here is a list of items our partners could use: 39 gallon contractor strength clean-up trash bags, twin sheet sets and pillow cases, bath towels and wash cloths, hand soap and shampoo, paper plates and cups, plastic utensils, screw drivers and pliers, flash lights, AA AAA C and D batteries, children's shoes, children's clothes, children's vitamins (not expired), candies, peanut butter and jelly, paint brushes and rollers, note pads, HP ink cartridges (#60 black), pens and pencils, church microphones, French Bibles, English Bibles, and Creole Bibles.
Any or all help is appreciated!
5. What security is provided?
Staff members pick up volunteers directly at the airport. We host volunteers in facilities with their own special security. As needed during the day, we also hire additional security guards to be with the group during transportation and to be present at the worksite.
6. Who are the families we're building with? Generally speaking, how were they impacted by the quake?
Our main focus is working with families who lost their homes - and more - during the earthquake. Permanent housing remains perhaps the greatest need in Haiti, with over a million Haitians living in simple tents or shelters made of scrap wood or metal. During the rainy season, families use layers of tarps over the roofs and set the tents on layers of old broken concrete block to attempt to prevent flooding. This affects every aspect of their lives. Many of them are currently staying on open land owned by Grace International.
Read more about some of our recent homeowners in Haiti.
7. Will the homes we're building withstand the next earthquake?
Because of the likelihood of aftershocks in the years to come, this is a top priority of our building efforts. We have experience building homes around the world, and are using designs from Engineering Ministries International created specifically for this project. Monitoring and improving quality control--for example, preventing shortcuts in the mixing of cement and carefully reviewing techniques with our masons--will help create more resilient structures.
8. Is there any kind of insurance provided with this trip?
Yes. As part of The Fuller Center's Global Builders program, all registered participants will be enrolled in our emergency travel insurance program, which includes some coverage for emergency medical and political evacuation. Please contact email@example.com for a copy of the coverage.
9. Do I need any special shots prior to leaving?
You might. Please check with the Centers for Disease Control for advice and information.
10. How do arrivals work? Will someone meet us at the airport? How will we get to/from the airport and where we're staying?Members of a team should coordinate their flights with the help of their team leader. All members should arrive within 90 minutes of each other - ideally on the same flight. Participants should arrive before 2:00pm to avoid being on the road at night in Haiti.
Both of our locations are about 1.5-2.0 hours from the airport, so it is important that flights are coordinated with the team leader to ensure that they arrive together.
11. How will we get around throughout the week?
We either borrow vehicles from Grace International or rent them as needed. We hire a driver to navigate the Haitian roads.
12. Where will we be staying? Does it have electricity, running water and bathroom facilities?
We have several different lodging options and locations: two near Balan and two near Gressier. In Balan there is both a hotel and a volunteer house option, in Gressier there is a hotel or the facility of the University of Notre Dame. The hotels tend to be slightly nicer (and more pricey), but all four will meet the basic needs mentioned in the question. Most of the facilities do have some internet access, but it comes and goes and so we would recommend that our groups come expecting not to have any.
13. Will we be able to do any laundry while we're there?
If needed, a local worker can be hired to do the laundry, but since trips are only one week, you might as well pack as though you will not have it.
14. Do we need to bring toiletries, bed linens, towels, blankets, etc?
Bed linens are provided and additional blankets are probably not needed in the hot climate. Each participant should bring their own toiletries and towels.
15. Are mosquito nets needed and if so are they provided?
Mosquito nets are not provided, and whether they are needed or not is a matter of personal discretion. Most American visitors have chosen to use bug spray or put dryer sheets near beds to help keep mosquitos away. However, team members can bring their own mosquito net if they prefer.
16. How are meals, food, and water handled?
Food and water must be handled carefully in Haiti, and so whether from reputable hotels or cooks whose standards and methods we are familiar with, we work hard to ensure that groups will have safe and nutritious, albeit fairly simple, meals. We provide three meals per day – typically breakfast and dinner where you are staying and lunch on the work site. Purified water is also always available and provided, usually in five-gallon containers, so you will want to bring your own reusable bottle.
17. What type of work can we expect to do?Come ready for anything. Work could include laying block, clearing rubble, applying stucco, cutting rebar, mixing concrete, or other tasks. Every job is important. Expect it to be sunny and HOT. Shade is limited. Heavy water consumption is a must all day long. You may want to bring electolyte replacement powders.
18. Are there any tools we should bring?
We will provide the tools you need, but extras never hurt. Some suggested tools inlclude: a hammer, tape, chalk line, 2' level, trowels, hand saw, battery-powered tools, concrete float, wire cutters (lineman pliers), tin snips, tool bag, extension cord, utility knife and blades, carpenter pencils, and tool belts.
19. Will we have days off from the build?Sunday is a non-working day. If coordinated in advance, a group may want to set aside one day for R&R.
20. What can we do on Sunday or an off-day? Are there any R&R opportunities?
If desired, we can help arrange for the group to attend Haitian church services. R&R opportunities are limited in Haiti, but in Gressier one opportunity is to visit a nearby Baptist Mission overlooking a valley, where there is a small zoo, garden area, and some shops.
What happens after the trip?
Even after you return, your trip can have a sustained impact on both you and the community in which you served! Learn how on our Country Champions page.

The Neighborhoods of Bond No. 9: Madison Soirée Fragrance Review
We are proud to present a new series dedicated to the fragrances of Bond No. 9 that pay tribute to the neighborhoods of New York City. In this new series titled "The Neighborhoods of Bond No. 9", we open with the neighborhoods of "Uptown" Manhattan. We begin with the fragrance Madison Soirée, which reflects the district of Madison Avenue.
Named for James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, Madison Avenue is a celebrated street of Manhattan, a mecca for the ultimate shopping experience for the rich and famous. Madison Avenue, on the tony Upper East Side of Manhattan, is North America's premier luxury district and features such famous stores such as Baccarat, Bally of Switzerland, Barney's New York, Bottega Veneta, Brooks Brothers, BVLGARI, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Christian Louboutin, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Hermès, Lanvin, Gianni Versace, Giorgio Armani, La Perla, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Valentino and Yves St. Laurent, to name a just a few. I remember buying my first and only pair of suede Gucci boots on Madison Avenue, back in the eighties, for a pittance of what they would be today.
There are two Bond No. 9 flagship boutiques which are located at 897 Madison Avenue at 73rd Street and 680 Madison Avenue at 61st Street. In this neighborhood, you'll find the famous Whitney Museum of American Art and the area boasts internationally renowned hotels such as the Helmsley Carlton House, Hotel Plaza Athenee, the Carlyle Hotel, the Mark Hotel and the Surrey Hotel. Another prominent landmark, The Roosevelt Hotel, was named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt and opened in 1924.
Since the 1920s, the street's name has been synonymous with the American advertising industry and the term "Madison Avenue" is commonly used to refer to the world of advertising. Among various depictions in popular culture, especially in television and movies, we have Madison Avenue starring Dana Andrews, Executive Suite with Barbara Stanwyck, Lover Come Back with Doris Day and Rock Hudson and the modern re-make Down with Love with Rene Zellweger and Ewan McGregor. More recently though, most of us may think of the American Movie Classics hit series Mad Men, which focuses on advertising industry during the 1960's. It is no wonder that Madison Avenue exhibits timeless elegance with a contemporary flavor that is distinctively New York. When I think of Madison Avenue, I cannot help but recall the old song "Everything Old is New Again".
The fragrance of Bond No. 9's Madison Soirée is dedicated to Madison Avenue and is classified as a Soft Floral/Fleuri Aldehydé. I have had my eye on Madison Soirée for some time, since I love white floral fragrances as much as I love rose scents. I've found that this fragrance is not a typical straight up gardenia- jasmine combination, but is a sparking, very fresh, very clean floral. One of the notes in Madison Soirée is night blooming jasmine, which is supposed to be higher in indoles, yet I do not find this fragrance to be overly indolic. Instead, you have just the sultry flowers shining through the top note of the aldehydes. Aldehydes, when added to flowers in perfumery, gives depth to the scent and is the ingredient that makes fragrances "sing".
One of my favorite flowers, the gardenia, represents an uplifting of the higher self and the soul. The jasmine flower is known as the "Queen of Night" because its fragrance is released after sunset. The night blooming jasmine has been used as a perfume for thousands of years. This marriage of sparkling aldehydes and the three white floral's creates a refined and feminine perfume that is perfect for the women of Madison Avenue in Jean Harlow's era or even the modern "Women of Mad Men". The personality of the fragrance is a bouquet of the world's most audaciously sultry flowers of night-blooming gardenia, honeysuckle and jasmine, but the basenote of Oakmoss grounds this scent to make it earthy and sexy.
This fragrance has great sillage and longevity and smells absolutely delightful on me without being sweet or cloying. I find it very intriguing that it has a cool crispness to it yet manages to be a tad sexy. The full-bodied and luscious scent of Madison Soirée is constant and keeps its coolness long into the night.
The press release from Bond No. 9 states that "Madison Soirée is inspired by the woman who drifts through the world's most exclusive shopping avenue. Whether off to The Met in a piqué polo, or bejeweled and en route to a townhouse dinner party, she is a personification of ultra-feminine polish and candor". The word Soirée (pronounced swah-rey) means "an evening party or social gathering, especially one held for a particular purpose". The French, of course, know how to pronounce this word to perfection and the name Madison Soirée represents the fragrance just perfectly. – by Raphaella

What is the main conflict (or conflicts) in "Oliver Twist"?
Topic: Oliver Twist
What is the main conflict (or conflicts) in "Oliver Twist"?
3 Answers | add yours
In "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens, the classical Good vs. Evil is the main conflict. The good is represented by Oliver's pitiful mother who struggles to the workhouse to give birth to the unfortunate Oliver. Mr. Brownlow and Rose Maylie are also good people who finally rescue Oliver permanently from the criminal life he has been forced to live.
Exploited by the callous beadle, Mr. Bumble, Oliver runs away after being starved and beaten only to become exploited by a terrible force of evil, Fagin. But, in the end, Mr. Bumble encounters poetic justice for his greed as he suffers in a marriage to a shrew of a woman, Mrs. Corney, who ignores the humanity of the children in the workhouse. Her greed implicates both herself and Mr. Bumble in a crime as they have stolen valuables belonging to Agnes Fleming, Oliver's mother.
Finally, however, the evil forces are defeated as information on Fagin's whereabouts are given to Mr. Brownlow, who sets in motion the "wheels of justice." The criminals are all punished, Rose Maylie's name is cleared, and Oliver goes to live with Mr. Brownlow.
Concomitant to this conflict of Good vs. Evil of characters, is the same conflict of forces in the society that Dickens portrays in "Oliver Twist." Greatly concerned that society, in a sense, was a jail, the characters Oliver and the thieves are victims of the Poor Laws and other social institutions that keep them or discourage them from productive work. Dickens portrays them equally as deprived of food, warmth, and decent living conditions. Society, represented by the likes of Mr. Bumble, seems bent on eradicating them. Even sweet, innocent Dick, Oliver's friend, is viewed as a danger to society. This poverty and suffering of the lower classes is in conflict to the wealthy and powerful who were unconcerned with the plight of the poor, another Good vs. Evil conflict.

What does the word mobile mean? To many companies, including those in retail, mobile is used to describe any connected device that's portable.
That makes some sense: despite the fact that there are differences between the growing number of connected devices that can fit in a pocket or bag, there are often enough similarities, at least on the surface, to justify putting them in the same bucket. But can and should the all-encompassing use of mobile translate to strategy?

For countless companies active online, the ever-increasing importance of mobile is no surprise. It's seen every day in the growing amount of traffic their websites receive from users on mobile and tablet devices.
The big question: what activities previously performed on the PC are being shifted to these devices?

Smartphone owners are more likely to use their device for email than for making phone calls, according to new research by Adobe.
The 2013 Digital Publishing Report, which surveyed 1,003 18-54 year olds, found that 79% of smartphone owners use their device for email compared to 78% who use it for making phone calls.
This serves to further underline the importance of optimising email campaigns for smartphones.
We've previously reported on data which shows that up to a third of emails are opened on mobile devices, yet data included in our Email Marketing Census reveals that 39% of businesses have no strategy in place for mobile optimisation and a further 37% said their strategy was 'basic'.
Adobe's report found that Facebook is the third most popular smartphone activity (58%), followed by listening to music (52%) and playing games (48%).

With publishers serving more and more of their audience through mobile and tablet devices, it's no surprise that responsive designs are growing in popularity.
From the BBC and Guardian to Metro and Express & Star, the number of publishers jumping on the responsive design bandwagon is growing rapidly and for good reason: there's a lot to like about responsive design and done right, it's pretty compelling.

It's not exactly new, but you probably encountered far more sites with infinite scrolling functionality in 2012 than you did in 2011, and there's a good chance you'll come across even more in 2013.
With popular services like Twitter and Pinterest bringing infinite scrolling into the mainstream, it's no surprise that more and more designers and publishers are considering doing away with old school pagination.
But is infinite scrolling a good trend or will it soon become a design worst practice?

If you work in a digital industry, the ubiquity of the internet is practically taken for granted. But that doesn't mean that the percentage of consumers accessing the internet on a regular basis isn't impressive. And it doesn't mean that percentage isn't growing.
In fact, according to Forrester Research, the number of adults in the United States who access the internet on a daily basis is growing more than one might imagine.

Throughout 2012 we've seen numerous studies that highlight the massive difference between shopping behaviours on tablet and smartphones.
The usability of each device should make this obvious, yet they were often – and occasionally still are – lumped together in the mobile category when comparing sales and traffic stats to desktop computers.
This is despite the fact that data published by Adobe in May shows that one tablet generates as many website visits as four smartphones.
By the end of Q1 2012 smartphones accounted for 6.1% of site visits compared to 4.3% on tablet.
However, smartphones only maintain a greater share of website visits due to the lower penetration rate of tablets, with 5x more smartphones shipped across North America and Western Europe compared to tablets.

Was 2012 the year of mobile? No, and in reality trying to say that any 12 month period can be heralded as the 'year of mobile' is nonsense in an industry that is already well established yet also constantly evolving.
But that doesn't mean there haven't been any important trends and innovations in the mobile industry this year.
For example, we've seen more brands start to realise the importance of operating a mobile optimised site, a growing awareness that tablets are a vital part of ecommerce and a move towards embracing responsive design, particularly among publishers.
To shed more light on the most important mobile trends from 2012 and do a bit of future gazing to next year, I spoke to several mobile industry experts...

Mobile-first, or web-first? Neither alone is a real strategy for success.

Bit of a ho hum week to be honest. Shows were solid but not spectacular. Still trying to figure out how Last Resort makes it a full 22 episodes (not that ABC has ordered a full 22).
Revolution S1 Ep06 "Sex and Drugs" Dir.Steve Boyum Written By.David Rambo
By all weights and measures "Sex and Drugs" is a filler episode for Revolution. There is hardly any headway made on the main plot. Filler episodes can give a better understanding of the world and some of the side characters. These things happen. Making for one of the best episodes Revolution has done.
It is heartening to see that in Revolution someone can not just be stabbed in the stomach and be fine the next episode. Physical harm is a bit different than bipolar characterizations. Nora isn't doing too well with her stab wound, which brings Miles and the gang to Drexel's doorstep.
Drexel is an old friend of Miles. He supplied most of the Monroe Republic with heroin, making himself and everyone around him a tidy little warchest. Drex starts off with the Lando entrance but at heart he is a skeezy Tony Montana. The whole world around him is burning and he has his own heroin fueled paradise. Paradise would have been better if Miles didn't go and desert the Republic. He thinks Miles owes him not just for using his doctor but all the money he has lost.
Aaron wondered why the crop of poppy flowers were up in flames. Turns out the O'Halloran family is responsible, they live on down the road. Before the blackout they were police and firemen. Post-apocalyptic shows always deal with the loss of humanity. People just go bad as society falls apart. The O'Halloran clan hasn't gone bad. They are pretty good people, holding onto their pre-blackout morals such as heroin is bad and other. These old ways have put them in confrontation with Drexel. As payment for the use of his doctor Drexel wants Charlie to go and kill the head of the O'Halloran clan.
Once again putting Charlie in the position of having to take a life is over done at this point. Blame the schizophrenic characterization. The show can't make up it's mind with what to do with her There is never any drama with that situation. She has to stay pure and her cold exterior is all an act. It was nice seeing actual nice people in the post blackout world but the situation is rote.
It was time to explore the life of former Google Executive Aaron. Other people have lost their children or loved ones. Aaron lost his place in society. Suddenly all his money and knowledge was worthless. Things went back to caveman days and he is not cut out to be that. He can no longer protect or care for his wife. Aaron is utterly emasculated. Zak Orth gives a great performance with his eyes.
Without seeing the emasculation of Aaron his "suicide" wouldn't have had any of the impact it had, in the moment. Hindsight is 20/20, a red flag should've been raised once he pointed the gun at his chest. You don't kill yourself that way, you would shoot yourself in the head. In the moment though I bought that Aaron had just died. Revolution has done a good job of making it seem like no one is safe (other than Miles and Charlie).
"Sex and Drugs" was a total filler episode but here it is my favorite one so far. The same issues are there. Charlie is boring but the people around Charlie are very interesting.
B+ Now I'm going to go watch "The Beach". Revolution needs a "Beach" episode.
Sons of Anarchy S5 Ep08 "Ablation" Dir.Karen Gaviola Written By.Mike Daniels
It really isn't the start to an episode of Sons of Anarchy without Gemma waking in a stupor. At least this time she isn't barely covered. The fallout from Gemma's crash as well as the death of 2 out of the 3 traitorous nomads is the main thrust of "Ablation". Managing to close out some running storylines as and move into the logical second phase of others.
Season 5 has been really violent if you haven't notice. Bodily damage and gruesome deaths just happening to the people less important characters within the Sons. For the most part this violence happens in a vacuum. Prior seasons violence and death had more purpose and effect on the Sons. This isn't as true this season. The overall level of violence has at least heightened the sense that Sutter and Co. would be willing to kill of another Son but not an important one. At least all that violence is having some positive effect, in how viewers could engage with the show.
One of the main figures of this increased violence has been Jax. From smashing the guard's head in to coldly congratulating Tig for killing the guard's wife. This Jax is a bit of a sociopath in how calmly he deals death and violence. Did he really have to take his attacker by the shoulder and then pump his guts literally full of led? He could have blown him away earlier with none of the false sense of security. Prior seasons Jax hardly killed anyone. The only time Jax seemed to enjoy killing someone was A.J. Weston (Henry Rollins) in season 2. Now Jax just takes a couple drags of his cigarette and chops off the hands of the dead man who tried to kill him. These personal touches is not something you find in most crime bosses. Damon Pope has made his life about being dealing with the criminal element but always at a distance and never personally. Cutting off the hands wasn't some release for Jax he had a plan. Use the prints to figure out who this guy was. Even though Unser and Pope both note prints on some glass would have been just fine.
Sons is playing a very tight game with it's portrayal of Jax. In season 3 you had the long con that the whole audience was never in on, making for an excellent finale. In the present the show simultaneously is trying to show a Jax Teller that is descending further into darkness while simultaneously making him appear to be the thoughtful planner with a plan to get out. So is the cold death dealer all an act for the club or just Jax compartmentalizing work and family life?
All that hunting did reveal one truth. Gemma wasn't run off the road like Clay said but was indeed high when she was driving. Gemma would never had told Tara the truth. It puts her right where she is locked out from her family and any real stability. Jax once again turns a bad situation, the near death of his boys, into a positive by forcing Gemma to return to Clay and make him "feel like a king". In the hopes that he will spill the beans that he was behind the home invasions. This bit seems slightly odd since Frankie Diamond admitted it was Clay's plan all along when he held up Nero's new brothel to Jax, Chibs, and Bobby. What more proof do they need? This admission certainly seals Diamond fate to die at the hands of Clay in the next episode. Gemma is setup as a mole. This would be useless if the best evidence you have is going to come around in the next episode. Either way this seems to be setting Clay up to get a bit of redemption and fall on the sword for Gemma. He would still do anything for her and getting her in the good graces of her family might be the only redemptive act Clay could get. Not that he deserves it.
The disgruntled Sheriff Roosevelt came to Jax with an interesting proposal. Give him the ones responsible for the death of his wife and he will give them the rat. At first glance the rat he is talking about seems to be Juice. Only they cut him out of the RICO case after they were unable to get the Irish. It sounds like someone else is talking to the Feds. Clay is always thinking several steps ahead and it wouldn't be beyond him to think he could run guns without the Sons.
The initial marketing blitz that painted Damon Pope (Harold Perrineau) as the main antagonist does not appear to be all that true. Yes, he did burn Tig's daughter alive as well as kill several other people in front of the Sons to show his power. No doubt this is a bad man. With a bit of distance from the first three episodes and Pope isn't all that scary. Pope is offering Jax friendly advice and seems satisfied with his vengeance. Tig now knows the pain he is going through, and is in a good business relationship with the Sons of Anarchy. The real villain is as it always has been Clay Morrow.
C+ Developments these things happened.
Homeland S2 Ep06 "A Gettysburg Address"
After the intensity and greatness of "O&A" it was time to take a breath and reassess the situation. Brody is now working with Team CIA. Mike is getting closer to figuring out who exactly killed Tom Walker. Dana is forced to deal with the ramifications of her date with Finn. The whole episode plays like one big recap in the present. Than masked, armed men just jump on the scene and blow seven CIA investigators away, among them Mr. Quinn. Homeland, just not letting viewers the luxury of thinking they know what is going to happen.
Brody is working with Team CIA, but he certainly isn't being the most forthcoming with information. This could easily be explained off screen, but why hasn't he told them about stealing the list of possible targets from Estes safe. He is a mess jumpy, short, constantly looking for a tail even if it isn't there. These paranoid moments in the car do a good job of spicing up the normalcy of driving sequences. Best of all who is to say Brody really has a tail all Quinn said was that the agreement wasn't ideal. Going against protocol and contacting Roya, instead of the other way around can't work many more times. Brody is just the pawn in the Nazir chessboard he gets the orders not give the orders.
All of the Brody sections where marked with the remainder of DTB - Don't Trust Brody. Carrie is claiming to have her eyes open, she saw the tape, but an episode prior she wanted him to run off with her. People do stupid things when they are in love. Besides monster suicide bomber Brody isn't the Brody she loves. Either she is doing a really good long con or this season is once again going to end in some shock treatment.
The Dana and Mike storylines just feel like keep busy lines than ones that are meant to set in motion greater events or character growth. Dana is turning into a guilty wreck over Finn hitting that woman. Going to visit her in the hospital only to have the best of timing and witness her die. Dana works best when she is nagging at Brody on her own these plotlines play more like a bad teen soap about the children of politicians. Mike is being shut down with his investigation into Tom Walker. We know he is right, he has some circumstantial evidence that makes it look like Brody killed Tom Walker. In the end all he has is the same suspicions he had at the start. If you're going to pay actors to stick around might as well use them.
With Brody only now revealing that the Tailor won't be coming back to his shop for the rest of his life, Quinn gets the go ahead to go in. Unsurprisingly the records are well kept and there are lots of cigarette butts. With Roya's hints at something bigger being hidden within the shop we get a nice moment of Quinn just about to figure something out. Than as stated above masked men in armor burst on the scene. Homeland hasn't really had many gunfights, this one isn't quick. Carrie is left with seven dead. If Quinn is among them isn't that clear. Yes, he had the universal sign of life with blurry vision and he woke up, but those looked like some bad wounds.
Brodys whole deal hinges on them Estes being able to tell the future President Walden that he stopped an attack on America, conveniently leaving out the part where Brody wanted to blow him up. That attack is moving forward at a very fast rate and Carrie seems no where near close enough to see it coming.

"This was a perfect sticker to attach to card stock to create a label for a Bridal Shower. The top line read, "Life is Sweet". Below it we put in the couple's first names followed by the date of the wedding. Then we punched a hole in the upper right corner and with ribbon attached the label to jars of local honey. It was fitting since we hired a local baker to demonstrate cupcake decoration and served filled and decorated gourmet cupcakes at the Bridal Shower. Working with Tiny Prints was a joy. Our guests raved about the design and use of the label. It could be used for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations and other important events where sweet rule!"
"In the summer I love pickling and canning and giving away my homemade goods to friends and relatives. This year, I'll be adding my own personal touch sticker for my kitchen goodies. The sticker is just large enough to fit on the top of the jar or on the side."
"I love to bake and give goodies away! These tags are perfect for that! The tags are so vibrant and colorful, I just love them and people always go gaga over them when they see it too!"
"I got a set of these for my sister, and she thought they were so cute! I love that they are stickers, so all you have to do is peel and stick to whatever you are giving to someone (like a cute container or bag of cookies). My sister has an accent mark in her name, and when I went to type it in, it appeared. Pretty awesome!"
"I ordered 6 different address label designs and was very pleasantly surprised by the paper quality of the labels - glossy and thick! I received lots of compliments for all my labels from friends."

Hi, Mojavehall-- Sorry for the delayed response--I just now noticed I had a notification! I purchased a set of stock SN95 spindles from a salvage yard listed on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market that cost me $90 shipped, and they included the hubs. I've got a set of stock SN95 "take off" struts I bought to put on my fox body several years ago that I never used, and I think I got the struts, shocks and all 4 springs for $75 shipped. Mighty Mouse has posted how he modified Fox-body caster/camber plates to use with SN95 struts with a set of coilover springs in the thread named, "Tacoma Struts", so I'll be doing the same thing on mine. Overall, just using stock struts, spindles, hubs, Cobra rotors and calipers, aftermarket coilover springs on the struts and aftermarket fox-body caster/camber plates with the AJE K-member and lower control arms. Hope that helps . . .
On this forum you mentioned you wrer going or using aAJE k-member, a-arms and sn95 spindles, DId you use the sn95 spindles from AJE or did you use stock ones? If you used stock SN95 spindles how did they work and what did the caster angle end up? Thanks Mojavehall
Since the brake shoe is wider and needs the longer hold-down pins, is the slot to the wheel cylinder fit? The way you're describing the shoe, you're saying that the backing plate for the 2" shoe should move the wheel cylinder out 1/8" so that the wheel cylinder piston pins that engage the brake shoes properly. The wheel cylinders are the same between the 1.75" and 2" brakes. Have you hooked everything up?
