Can Women Over 50 Look Great in Jeans?
Barbara Grufferman's new book, The Best of Everything After 50: The Expert's Guide to Style, Sex, Health, Money and More, has gotten lots of comments. Readers weighed in on a range of topics, but one simple question really stirred the pot, "Can I still wear jeans after 50?"
Well, there's a woman who's made answering that question her life's work. A woman who knows that middle-aged derrieres can look hot.
Our saviour's name is Marla Ginsburg.
Marla was a television producer -- with hits like Highlander and La Femme Nikita -- living the good life in Paris and Los Angeles. After she turned 50, despite her considerable success, no-one would take her call. TV executives were much younger now, and simply weren't interested in what she was pitching. It was a terrible blow. How was she going to keep a roof over her family's head?
She started to imagine what she would do with the rest of her life. "I had two fantasies," she told me when we spoke by phone. "Talk show host or clothing designer. Both rational, well-thought out goals!" She laughed.
Marla said she decided to pick the thing she knew least about, so went out and bought a bunch of fabric and a sewing machine. She had this crazy idea that she should make clothes for baby boomer women like herself, a demographic not well served by the fashion industry (amen to that!). "I figured that I knew what women like me wanted to wear, just like I once knew what we wanted to watch."
A business plan came next, followed by successful financing, and a launch. Then, the recession hit. Marla's new business tanked. She lost everything. Now what?
Well, by then she was hooked. She could see that she wasn't just making clothes -- she was actually helping women feel better about themselves. "Women our age are always apologizing for their icky bits and feeling that they don't look good anymore. When they put on something that's actually designed for their bodies, something that's cool and flattering, they're transformed."
Financial necessity being the mother of midlife reinvention, Marla kept going. And one day her agent called to see if she'd like to meet with a jean manufacturer in Montreal, FDJ French Dressing. Two smart young guys (Noah Stern and Ayal Twik) who saw the same opportunity Marla had spotted, and wanted to find someone who understood this demographic. And the rest is history.
Marla is now the creative director (working closely with designer Suzanne Schiller) for FDJ, and also has her own line, M.Wynne, on the Home Shopping Network. And she feels like it's the perfect career. Not only is she putting her kids through school, but she's making a contribution. "Clothes are a way to help us feel better about the skin we're in. It may not be going to Africa to build homes for street kids, but it is a way to make a difference."

Last night I had the privilege to attend a small scotch tasting with The Macallan Single Malt Scotch at Perry's as they simulcast the Sotheby's live auction of one bottle of 64 year old single malt in a Lalique crystal decanter, in celebration of Lalique founder, Renee Lalique's, 150th birthday.
Over an exquisite tasting of 15 year Fine Oak, 18 year Sherry Oak, 30 year Fine Oak and The Macallan 1851 Inspiration, with flavorful bites of lobster, shrimp and tenderloin provided by Perry's, The Macallan Ambassador, Jay Liddell, walked guests through why The Macallan is so special, the importance of the night and the Sotheby's auction benefiting Charity Water.
The Macallan and Lalique have a long history of working together, as they both believe in Rene Lalique's founding principles – artisanal skills, precision, passion and creativity, and both have made their craft an art form, sought after by connoisseurs of both scotch and crystal.
The 64 year old Macallan is the oldest bottle ever released. Created from single malt scotch aged in three different Sherry casks, the youngest of which is 64 years old. The Lalique decanter took over a month to create, after the design was established. There was only one of these bottles in the world, and last night, after raising $140,000 on auctioning off single drams (about 1 ounce pours) of the scotch, this special bottle was sold for $460,000 to an American bidder. WOW!
Proceeds for the night benefited Charity Water, an amazing not for profit that brings clean water to people in need across the world. Worldwide 1 out of every 6 people do not have easy access to clean water, Charity Water hopes to change that. In the three years since their conception they have created 2000 clean water projects helping over 1 million people in need around the world. The funds raised last night will give 30,000 people clean drinking water for up to 20 years.

We enjoyed this restaurant mote than the Il Terazzo in the same hotel. Steak wad great service and ambience excellent.
Thank you for coming to see us during your time in Scottsdale, and thank you also for taking the time to tell others about your experience. We are very happy that you enjoyed both of the restaurants you visited at the resort and that you were able to take in our fabulous Arizona sunsets!
We had a fantastic evening meal here the last night of our recent trip to the US. J&G Steakhouse was seriously good, and we cannot understand why it isn't rated higher in Scottsdale.
We asked for a table with a view when making the reservation, and boy did we get one! Right in the middle of a huge picture winding...
It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience with us at J&G, and we appreciate your thoughts on the ratings! Thank you for taking the time to post. We may be a long way from your home base of Sussex, but we would love to see you again if you make it back to this part of...
Delicious food and great views of the valley. Half off wines $100 or less during the summer, before 7pm. Only downside, it got a bit loud when the music started.
We are glad that you discovered our Summer wine special, and that you enjoyed your dinner experience. We do have live music on Friday and Saturday after 7:00, when it does get more boisterous. We hope to see you at other times during the week!
Lived in Phoenix for 2.5 years now and finally had dinner at J&G. As you drive into the resort you get an impressive Palm Beachy feeling. Grounds are extensive and manicured. Beautiful fountain as you pull up to the valet. J&G is actually on the top floor of the resort which will give you some pretty great views from the...
We want to thank you for taking your time to write about your experience at our restaurant. We are disappointed that you did not enjoy your steaks, but we hope that you will make it back (even for desserts and drinks) and we will do our best to make that experience special for you.
There is a lot of great things to say about this restaurant. Firstly, the view is really nice. Secondly, the food (steak) was excellent. Thirdly, the service was really good. Finally, the ambiance was really nice thanks to the guitarist who was simply stunningly good. A truly memorable place for a nice dinner.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We thank you for coming up to see us for dinner and we are very happy that we could be a part of your special evening.
We always eat at J &G steakhouse when in Scottsdale. The classics are always very good as is the service, particular standout this trip was the roasted lobster, absolutely brilliant. Whilst never cheap, the food and service are worth the price here.
It is great to see you coming back time and again to see us at J&G. we are grateful for the repeat business and will continue to try to re-impress you! And thank you for taking the time to let people know about your visits. Hope to see you again soon.
Just like you'd expect, the Phoenician's big night out restaurant has great food and high prices. My husband raved about his prime rib and I had a extremely good piece of halibut. It was pricey but worth every penny. Awesome view of Scottsdale after dark as well. Plan to linger in the lounge after dinner.
Thank you for writing about your evening and your thoughts about us at J&G. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your dinner, and that you took advantage of our Bar and Lounge, a somewhat undiscovered and lovely spot to start or finish an evening.
Our steaks could not have been better prepared. The sides were tasty and fresh. The manager was gracious, providing the proper wine glasses. i also commend his decision to hire Jeff, our very pleasant and knowledgeable server who made the evening fun.
Glad to see that you had a ball with us when you came in for dinner! Jeff really is a lot of fun (and he is very good at the serious part of his job too). Thanks for taking the time to write about your evening and for sharing your thoughts with the TripAdvisor community.
Sat at the bar since I was alone. The barman was very nice and was very knowledgeable which was appreciated. He recommended a few dishes. I had bluepoint oysters and I must say there were decadent! Then had a lemon Caesar salad which was also lovely. For my main dish an 8 oz filet mignon with baked potato. The steak...
It is great to hear that you enjoyed your meal at our bar. It is something that locals and regular visitors to Scottsdale are doing more and more. We are very happy that the bartender could guide you around the menu and that you felt comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you for taking the time to write about...
Our first night at Phoenician and we decided to eat on site. We had Rib eye for 2 which came beautifully sliced. It was delicious but we have had it just as good for HALF the price elsewhere. I did love the heirloom salad but with cocktails (2 each) appetizers and 1 dessert with coffee our bill came to $350.00!...
Thank you for posting about your evening with us at J&G Steakhouse. I am very happy that you enjoyed your food and the evening. I apologize that you thought that the 32 ounce Wagyu Rib Steak (designed to be shared for two) was more expensive than you thought it should be. We look forward to seeing you again when you...

AIA Societies Meet at Annual Meeting
January 7, 2012
At the AIA Societies Breakfast Meeting, representatives of the AIA from across the country came together to review activities of the past year and to brainstorm ideas to strengthen participation and to engage more AIA members on the local level.
Members reviewed the first National Archaeology Day, held last October, and shared their success stories. In addition, they discussed the National Lecture Program and Society Outreach Grants. Conversations and society presentations focused on how to engage AIA members in the community, how to encourage more students to partcipate in the AIA, and setting goals for the future.
This week on Achill Island was spent training on AutoCad on rainy days and cleaning up trenches for photography and drawings.
Find out which groups have been added as International Archaeology Day Collaborating Organizations today.
In advance of the 2015 Working Conference for Educators, the AIA is soliciting one-page descriptions of existing archaeological outreach and education programs.

The New China could well be the dominant power of the 21st century, but cinema frequently trains its cameras on the Old China.
The vast majority of films set in China – at least the ones we get to see – take place in medieval settings and feature heroic roles who spar while being whisked around on wires. This partly reflects the tastes of the export market and the healthy audience for martial arts films starring the likes of Jet Li or the Kung Fu Panda.
The limited perspective also proves symptomatic of the country's censorious political regime. Filmmakers can find more freedom when they make metaphorical period pieces rather than present-day critiques. Stinging capitalist attacks such as the film noir Blind Shaft tend to be the exception rather than the rule. Zhang Yimou, one of the nation's most acclaimed directors, got in trouble for his social commentary in films such as The Story of Qiu Ju and shifted focus to such thoughtful period pieces – with gravity-defying stunts – as House of Flying Daggers.
China's transformation from Maoist communism to Western-style capitalism is changing the country beyond recognition, and will have lasting repercussions for the global economy, politics and culture. (It's the major reason why gas prices are so high, for starters.) The documentary Up the Yangtze provides an invaluable service as it shows China's economic shocks from the inside out and reveals who pays the price for the country's future prosperity.
Up the Yangtze begins by recounting a civil-engineering plan of staggering scale. The Three Gorges Dam causes massive flooding of the Yangtze River, displacing about 2 million Chinese. "Imagine the Grand Canyon being turned into a Great Lake," says Canadian-Chinese director Yung Chang in voice-over.
He presents remarkable images that make his words more than hyperbole. Early in the film, we see an abandoned city by the river, and the metropolis is so huge, empty and decayed, it looks like collateral damage of an apocalypse.
Chang views China's changes through the prism of the Victoria Queen, a cruise ship that primarily shows Western travelers the sights as the rising river transforms the landscape and erases the nation that was. We see some tourists dressed preposterously in traditional Chinese robes as they coo over the size and modernity of China's cities, some of which gleam with Blade Runner neon.
The director primarily follows two teenagers who take jobs on the Victoria Queen. Bo Yu Chen comes from a middle-class family and exudes such confidence and entitlement that he's clearly ready to take the "Tiger Economy" by the tail. At one point he sings karaoke like a rock star to the ship's passengers, and you can imagine him parlaying his documentary appearance into an acting career (or at least trying to). At one point his charm earns him a handsome tip: "I'm so happy. Fuck, 30 U.S. dollars!"
We also meet Shui Yi, a studious girl who pores over workbooks in her family's hut by the encroaching river. Her ambitions for higher learning prove clearly beyond the means of her parents, who primarily live on what little food they can grow before the water consigns them to an inland village. Putting aside her dreams for her family's sake, Yi submits to drudgery on the ship.
The cruise ship's employees receive lessons in assimilation to provide customer service to Westerners. Their bosses provide them with American names, turning Chen into "Jerry" and Yi into "Cindy," in a touch that evokes the renaming of American immigrants at Ellis Island. One supervisor acknowledges that 20 years ago, Westerners would be called "foreign devils," but English is clearly the language of global commerce. Employees learn how to cater to the different nationalities – "Don't call anyone old, pale or fat" – while tour guides seem to parrot the party line when they minimize the country's growing pains.
Between scenes of Chen and Yi on the ship, Up the Yangtze interviews people turned into "relocatees" by the river project, or otherwise facing lives turned upside-down by the new ways. Some interviews build to strikingly raw emotions. Yi's mother tearfully confesses her shame at having to exploit her daughter. A shopkeeper settling into his new village breaks down on camera: "It's hard being a human, but being a common person in China is even more difficult. ... When we had to move, we were dragged and beaten!" You not only wonder how Chang captured such unguarded moments on film, but whether he had to sneak them past government officials.
For most of the film, Yi proves to be a withdrawn subject for the documentary. She doesn't talk much on camera, although she weeps at one point while washing dishes. Accurately or otherwise, we read despair in her silence, although she gradually opens up while shopping for friends.
Her parents, meanwhile, suffer the fate of agrarian workers in a dawning industrialized nation. At one point the father carries an enormous wardrobe on his back as they move. A shattering series of dissolves shows the river rising ever higher until the family hut completely submerges out of view.
Up the Yangtze equates China's progress with a rising tide, one that can drown its citizens just as easily as it can lift them up.
How can a publication like Creative Loafing have any thing positive on an unrepentant convicted…

Orlando Transportation Is Complicated, We Make It Easier For Travelers
Disney World, Universal Studios, conventions year-round — it's no wonder Orlando is one of the most popular destinations for travelers. But with all that the greater Orlando area has to offer, one thing that's hard to find is convenient, affordable transportation from the airport to your destination. And that's where we come in — we make it easy to compare rates for an Orlando airport shuttle – or a town car or a limo – whatever you prefer!
We offer something you simply can't find anywhere else: The verified best rates for your transportation. When you make a reservation through someone else, you may not be aware of all the miscellaneous costs that aren't included in the "total" – parking fees, gas surcharges and toll road fees, for example. But our prices include all those fees, so you know exactly how much you'll be paying for your ride. (And by the way, there are about as many toll roads here as there are world-class roller coasters!)
Options for Any Budget
Did you know that a family of four could get a private town car, round-trip from the airport to a Disney hotel, for less than the cost of a cab ride? Check the rates on our website – you might be surprised at the deals you find!
Unless you're staying at a hotel near the Orlando airport (commonly referred to as "MCO"), chances are slim that your hotel will pick you up at the terminal. Disney's Magic Express bus will pick up guests staying at its resorts, but other hotels in the greater Disney area don't offer free transportation.
Your time is valuable, whether you're taking the family to SeaWorld or making a quick business trip to the Hyatt Regency Orlando, and you don't want to get stuck at the airport, trying to find a ride. At Orlando Shuttle Service, we want to get you where you're going – quickly, and for the best price possible.
Why We Do This
I'm Rick, the founder of Orlando Shuttle Service. I came up with the idea for this business after visiting Orlando a few years ago with my son and being shocked by how expensive ground transportation was – at that time, it would've cost me nearly $500 to rent a sub-compact car for five days. Outrageous!
Today, I'm proud to say that I can personally vouch for the quality of every transportation company you'll see on our website, and I've worked hard to find you the best rates available.
Some people say that "getting there is half the fun." And maybe that's true when you're on a road trip to the Grand Canyon. But when you fly to Orlando – for business or for pleasure – you just want to get through all the traffic and toll roads and be at your destination. I know, because I visit Orlando every year. Check out our handy free quote tool – just enter your destination and number of travelers, and you can instantly compare estimates. Make a reservation online, and you can arrive in Orlando, knowing a driver is waiting to pick you up!

RIPON - Keith Terpsma doesn't know what to expect this season when his Ripon Christian boys soccer team heads into Southern League play for the first time.
Clarence Goes needed a right-hand man.
After closing out last season with their fourth consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV Championship, the East Union Lancers are opening the 2010 season with aspirations of bringing home the school's fifth straight section crown.
The Manteca Buffaloes welcomed Ripon and Central Valley highs to Manteca High, officially kicking off the 2010 high school football campaign. All three programs met up for a preseason scrimmage, broken into 10-play intervals, rotating offense and defense between the three teams.
A quick peak at both Ripon High and Ripon Christian's 2010 volleyball schedules leaves little doubt as to where both of these recently dominant programs expect to be in November. Returning to the postseason is on the top of both school's priority lists, only this season Ripon Christian will travel along a different path.
The challenges that await first-year Sierra High volleyball coach Trinity Johnson are unimaginable. Taking over the reins after a 15-year run from Tevani Liotard through the Valley Oak League has been task No.1
RIPON – The Ripon Indians simply feel it's time to hang a Trans Valley League banner in their gym. Ripon Christian has every reason in the world to feel its first season in the Southern League can result in a championship.
Goodbye Ceres and Central Valley, and good riddance.
Never mind that the school year begins next Monday, Aug. 16.
LATHROP - In a little over a month, the Lathrop Spartans will begin their second football campaign at the varsity level and the only certainty the club has is that the challenge won't get any easier.
The ill-effects of a heart-wrenching Sac-Joaquin Section playoff loss to Casa Roble is something of the past for the Manteca Buffaloes. Now the squad is poised to make a run at the Valley Oak League championship, and hopefully make a return trip to the section title game in the process.
STOCKTON – One program is trying to defend a piece of a league title for the first time in school history.
Standing 5-foot-6, it would be hard to see Matt Barber as the big man on campus. But if you ask anyone on the Manteca Buffaloes' 20-man roster and they will tell you there was no bigger Buffalo than Barber.
Brittany LaMar has been behind the dish for the East Union Lancers for the past three seasons.
Ripon High's unprecedented four-year run between 2007-10 in girls soccer wouldn't have been possible without the influx of talent that poured into the program.
Jordan McNeal's natural talent is undeniable.
When Isela Rivera woke the morning following the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV championship and a celebratory pool party, she didn't need a pinch to know it was real.
Jacob Corn doesn't shy away from discussing the few missteps in his otherwise spectacular senior season for Manteca High's baseball team.
Allie Walljasper lifted Sierra's softball team to unprecedented heights the past four years with her powerful right arm.
For three months, Scott Tolman chased a time taped to the ceiling above his bed.
RIPON – Even out of season, Hannah Sweet keeps a constant presence at the Ervin Zador Aquatic Center.
Yok Jing Ma had a checklist of goals at the start of the tennis season.

Nice pool, friendly staff and comfortable beds.
Thanks guys!! :) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Near town centre, clean, looks brand new, friendly and helpful staff, good value for money, etc. We would totally recommend this hotel to others and hope to return in the near future. X
Hotel just needs to have better wifi reception in the room, that's all. (Can be an advantage though, in the sense that it may tempt you to go downstairs/get some fresh air while browsing! )
Staff very helpful. Decent size swimming pool. Considering the price, great deal for money. Recommended
10 Minutes away from city center but not a big deal. Moreover there is a minimarket at the corner.
Big pool and table tennis. Lovely helpful family.
Very helpful staff, asked for a rental car and they organised one (at half the price at Dalaman Airport)! The place was also always clean, and the pool was just gorgeous!
There was no WiFi connection in the room (only in the lobby).
This place is a real gem, sparkling fixtures, spotless everywhere. The owner has taken a lot of pride (and expense) making this a first-class European-type hotel. Beautiful pool, wonderful breakfast, friendly professional staff. Feels like a brand-new hotel. Value for the money is extraordinary.
Location is a little bit away from the river and restaurants but the benefit is the serenity of the surroundings.
The Staff was very co operative and polite. They have tried their level best to make our stay comfortable. Would definately recommend others to stay there as it is a good value for money.
Impressive wooden ceiling in the lobby. Brand new clean cozy warm room. Some staff knew English. When issue arose with water being only warm the front desk called the manager and let me talk directly to him. As promised an hour later there was hot water. In the morning breakfast was already set up for us and a heater on at the agreed time previous evening.staff member came out personally to wave goodbye.
Shower door not quite closing right so some water leaked. Hotel at far end of town but not an issue for us as we had a car. Winter is extremely quiet in Daylan. Drove ourselves to mud pools around the lake as no boat service available conveniently but tombs visible well from town .
Lovely accommodating welcoming host family who did everything to make our stay enjoyable including moving breakfast up to meet our 7am hiking departure. Completely new room, comfortable, clean and simple decor. Located far enough out of town for a quiet environment. Lovely pool and jacuzzi in a lush garden area. Don't miss staying at this sweet spot when you visit Dalyan!

Hyundai Elantra Performance
Reviewers say the 2014 Hyundai Elantra's base engine has enough power to suit most drivers. They prefer the new engine that's standard on the GT, coupe and Sport sedan, saying it makes the Elantra competitive with rivals known for their sharp performance, like the Mazda Mazda3 and Ford Focus. Most reviewers say the Elantra handles athletically while offering a quiet, smooth ride. However, some test drivers think its ride is not as composed as rivals' on rough pavement.
- "In previous years, we found that the Elantra sedan wasn't as sporty to drive as some of its competitors. For 2014, however, there's a new Sport trim to remedy that. Fortunately, this trim doesn't amount to just a few extra body trim pieces and red interior stitching. No, the new Elantra Sport receives a more powerful engine and a sport-tuned suspension that may give it a level of driver engagement comparable to rivals." -- Edmunds
- "The 2014 Hyundai Elantra comfortably resides in a territory between the performance-oriented Mazda3 and Ford Focus, and the softer-sprung Chevrolet Cruze and Nissan Sentra. A standard 6-speed manual and available 6-speed automatic do their best to make the most of the 1.8-liter's 148 horsepower, but with a new 173-horsepower 2.0-liter now offered in some trims, the Elantra doesn't have to remain at the back of the performance pack any longer." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "The 1.8-liter engine managed to find power enough to go up and down the rolling terrain of Hill Country. Tall gearing, for increased fuel economy, managed to let us know the engine room was running at full-bore when we were trying to get on the highways or to avoid becoming a hood ornament for a Texas-sized big-rig. Once at speed, all was right with the world." -- Left Lane News (2013)
- "The only time we noticed a significant power deficit was while trying to pass on the freeway during a hill climb. Overall, there's more than enough oomph for daily driving duties, on highway or off." -- Motor Trend (2011 1.8-liter sedan)
Acceleration and Power
The Elantra comes standard with a 145-horsepower, 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine. For 2014, a new 173-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine is standard on the GT, coupe and Sport sedan. The base sedan comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a six-speed automatic is available. The base Elantra gets an EPA-estimated 28/38 mpg city/highway with an automatic transmission, which is good for the class.
Test drivers say the base Elantra has adequate power in most situations, but isn't going to wow you with its speed. A few reviewers say the newly available 2.0-liter engine offers more power, but isn't especially smooth. Both transmissions do a fine job of keeping the base engine in its powerband, they note, though several test drivers prefer the automatic transmission for its quick shifts.
- "Under the hood, no one would call the 1.8-liter engine a powerhouse, but this motor does have personality, emitting a vaguely sporty growl above 5,000 rpm. We prefer the automatic transmission, as it serves up some of the most responsive downshifts you'll find at any price. The newly available 2.0-liter engine, familiar from Kia's compact cars, provides more punch, but it's not particularly refined." -- AutoTrader
- "That said, the 1.8-liter engine on Elantra SE and Limited models provides adequate performance for the majority of drivers. The automatic transmission drives that point home with well-timed and smooth shifts." -- Edmunds
- "… the experience of stomping on the gas of the 148 HP 1.8 L engine is underwhelming. The engine does get louder in response to your foot, but it feels more like a complaint, and while you do eventually get moving, speed isn't why you should consider buying this car." -- Jalopnik (2013)
- "Hyundai's in-house transmissions - a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual - both work well to wring the most out of the Elantra's 148-horsepower engine while also getting the most out of the regular unleaded gasoline it uses." -- Kelley Blue Book (2013)
Handling and Braking
Reviewers say the Elantra handles nimbly, attacking corners with confidence. The performance-tuned coupe and GT handle especially well around curves, they add. Most say the Elantra offers a smooth, quiet ride, though some test drivers point out that the Elantra doesn't absorb bumps in the road as well as rivals like the Chevrolet Cruze. They particularly like the selectable steering mode on certain trims that allows you to dial in the steering effort.
- "On the one hand, the car feels nimble on the road, carving through corners with unexpected grace -- particularly atop the available sport-tuned suspension. But on the other hand, the Elantra's chassis quivers on rough pavement, falling short of the solidity standard set by stalwarts such as the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. It's not a big deal, but it does take a bite out of the car's otherwise refined character. Overall, though, we find the Elantra's driving dynamics quite agreeable." -- AutoTrader
- "For 2014, Hyundai has added more sound insulation to quell engine and tire noise, which was one of our previous gripes. Combine that with the car's relatively smooth ride, and you're likely to find the Elantra a comfortable and quiet place to log mile after mile." -- Edmunds
- "The 3-mode driver-selectable steering, standard in the GT, SE and Limited, greatly improves feedback, while the GT and Elantra Coupe benefit from tighter suspension settings that allow the car to move aggressively over twisting roads." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "Activated through a steering wheel-mounted button around the 4 o'clock position, your DSSM choices are Comfort, Normal, and Sport. Each alters on-center tension and effort weight (but not the steering ratio) when you pull the wheel off-center. It's no Focus or Mazda3 equivalent, but effort ramp-up and feel in any mode is more honest than in non-GT Elantras." -- Motor Trend (2013 GT)

Why Rural EDs Are Struggling to Survive
"Hospital occupancy has a lot to do with how many physicians there are. And right now we have a major shortage of general surgeons," Schneider said in an interview. That problem—along with a lack of specialists in general—is exacerbated in rural areas. "Now, many of those patients have to come to the more urban areas to get the simple operations done."
She points to Rochester, NY, where's she's also a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Rochester, which is surrounded by several very rural communities.
"We see a lot of patients coming to our hospital for relatively simple types of procedures," she said. "Relatively straightforward orthopedic problems, for example."
Moreover, many rural physicians may not take ED calls for a variety of reasons—higher malpractice insurance rates, a reluctance to be called throughout the night and have to work the next day—causing patients to be transferred to other facilities.
"If you need your appendix out at night, there may be a general surgeon in town, but he may not take call for the emergency department," Schneider says.
Perhaps these findings will serve as a catalyst for policymakers and others who can help allocate additional resources to help struggling rural organizations keep their EDs viable.

12 thoughts on "Shatner's Competitor?"
A 6th grader's Powerpoint project?
It's a spoken word version of a Beatles song. It's exactly what Shatner was (is?) producing.
How dare Connery stay retired. We need him and Gene Hackman to do just one more movie. And if they can get Rick Moranis in there too, great!
"…as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs"
Krillian get out of my head that's PRECISELY what I was going to post.
How dare these giants retire.
The album this track is from also has Jim Carrey singing 'I Am The Walrus' [or maybe 'Strawberry Fields', but I think it's Walrus].
Introducing dwyanewadeshoe.com! Here is discounted wade sneakers on the market. With our D Wade sneakers outlet consist of the nike jordan fly wade 2012 shoes. Simply 75$ and free shipping T7505!

DANVILLE- One person has died after a car chase and shootout with Danville Police.
Director of Public Safety Larry Thomason said that Scott C. Islam, 33 of Danville, was identified as the person who sustained gunshot injuries in the incident. Islam was pronounced dead in Urbana at about 1:10 PM Wednesday by the Champaign County Coroner. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.
Two others were arrested by Illinois State Police Investigators on preliminary charges of Aggravated Discharge of a Weapon, Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon and Aggravated Possession of a Stolen Firearm.
Charles Twigg, age 29, and Gaylen L. Thomas, age 27, are being held at the Public Safety Building in Danville.
Danville police became involved in an early morning chase of a vehicle occupied by Islam, Twigg and Thomas after investigating shots fired call at about 2:40 AM in the area of Harmon and Woodbury, according to Thomason. The chase ended with the suspect vehicle crashing at Logan and Kimber and shots being exchanged between police and the occupants of the car.
"At the crash scene the vehicle struck a gas meter and residential building. Gas vapors were escaping and a small fire occurred in the engine compartment of the car. Police were able to extinguish the fire with dry chemical extinguishers. Danville Fire was called to the scene who alerted Ameren to disconnect gas flow. Fire personnel checked the small apartment complex for residents and monitored air levels," Thomason said. "There were no injuries to the police officers."
According to Thomason he has given the officers involved time away from the job to rest after being involved in the incident.

A couple of years ago, I got into a pseudo-argument with a friend about the nature of "asking." I had recently discovered that when I was polite and friendly, I could ask for anything from anyone, and the chance that I would get my way was high. I didn't think I was being manipulative. I thought I was being brilliant, finally realizing that discounts, preferential treatment, exceptions, etc could be mine if I asked the right way. I also thought that, a la Lean In, women sometimes undermine themselves by not asking, and that I was overcoming a gender bias by being more forthright in my requests.
My friend argued that, while not intentionally manipulative, I was burdening other people with my "needs" (not really needs, random wants and momentary desires). Not just burdening other people, but especially burdening people (service providers, retail clerks, waitstaff, etc) who are, structurally, not really allowed to say no to me as a wealthy white girl.
I'm not entirely wrong, but it's a pretty weak argument. The whole scheme hinges on the idea that you're asking for something that is up for grabs. By claiming it, you think, you're not depriving somebody of it, or taking someone else's spot, or claiming more than your share. Except, 9 times out of 10, you probably are. The "asking" thing is only a fair way to engage with the world if you assume that everyone steps to the table with the same set of privileges and skills, but we know that is basically never the case. That also assumes, of course, that you want the world to be a fairer place…
I was reminded of this conversation by Jen Dziura's excellent Medium piece this week "When Life Hacking is Really White Privilege." Go read it right now, I'll wait.
Then you should you read my latest for Role/Reboot, which attempts to pull together the Dziura, Black Girl Dangerous' new post on how to combat your privilege, and how by focusing on one's lack of one privilege (say… gender), we can forget about the advantages we are afforded by the privileges we do have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Listen......,
Bought today after watching the Nurses sing on Breakfast TV.
This CD has the WOW Factor.....
Simply gorgeous, The Four Nurses voices are beautiful and give credit to some wonderful songs.
Each and every being "true delight".
Some songs are familiar, but love the new twist/treatment given here, making them even better.
My favourites so far are "Guiding You" and "If You Can".
What a pleasure to listen to.. Just love it :-}

5.0 out of 5 stars Guiding You is a stunningly brilliant debut album,
Mrs. P. Usher (UK) - See all my reviews
Purchased this album today and I have to say it's simply awesome, recognising most of the tracks as cover versions but not the usual songs that appear on every album I was thrilled to hear them done in a different and unique way.
Including three brand new songs written for FourNurses, title track 'Guiding You', 'Keep Believing' and the single 'If You Can' all apt for somone in there profession, you have to hear them for yourself to understand what I mean.
This album is a must buy, I loved every single song from the beautiful 'Angel' to uptempo bonus track 'Power of a Woman' to the superb 'Footsteps in the Sand' which features Joanna Marie Skillet a classically trained soprano, sounds a little odd but trust me it works and it works well.
I will be buying more copies, Mother's Day is only a couple of weeks away and this is a gift I will love to give.
FourNurses have so much to be proud of, this album is fantastic from start to finish, there voices are stunning, the production is fantastic and I am one happy customer.
Good luck ladies and with some of the proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support I hope you make millions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just get it!,
When a few ordinary people who have great talent come together for genuinely great cause - and deliver. I mean really deliver. There's nothing better. I can't recommend it highly enough. You can be a rocker, into country, like a good ballad; but you can't helped to be moved. Awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars foour nurses,
Mrs. Christabel J. Cowley (HEREFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
I sent for this along with other cd's and although I had heard of them I had never actually heard them sing so I was very pleased when I played it.I would recommend this and preferred it to another cd by a ladies choir which I also sent for.
4.0 out of 5 stars Four Nurses,
Mrs. Jennifer Warden - See all my reviews
Thoroughly enjoyed this CD but found so many of the songs sombre, would have like some more light hearted recordings hence only four stars. My sincere admiration to these four ladies for their cause
5.0 out of 5 stars nurses,
mrs g roberts (england) - See all my reviews
this cd is a credit to four dedicated nurses not only are they dedicated to their job the singing is brilliant well done girls

City Officials Almost Ban Foam Cups
CmdrTaco posted more than 10 years ago | from the now-thats-just-funny dept.1055

A paralegal working for the city apparantly found a professionally designed web site put up to describe the dangerous properties of this chemical. Apparantly, the report about Dihydrogen Monoxide was written by a then 14-year-old Nathan Zohner who was researching the gullibility of fifty ninth graders."
