Please Note: This video shows the baseball-sized TCB balls, not the bigger, heavier ATOMIC balls (but the concept is the same).
The Total Control ATOMIC Batting Ball helps baseball and fastpitch softball hitters develop strength and extension through the hitting zone. At 4.7 inches in diameter and a weight of nearly 2 lbs, these balls are a pure strength development hitting aid.
The TCB ATOMIC ball provides instant feedback to the hitter upon contact. Hit it square or on the center line of the ball, and the shape remains round. If hit off center, the ball changes to a donut shape - spinning up or down depending on location of the contact of the ball. These training balls are used primarily for Side Toss or Tee Work. Start out slowly with 3 to 6 solid hits and increase to a maximum of 12 in one hitting session.

Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQs)
Tips For New Unicyclists
Q: How do I learn to ride a unicycle?
A: Here's the information we give to new students.
Introduction: Welcome to the fun-filled world of unicycling! To kids young and old, you're about to embark on an adventure that will last a lifetime. The average time needed to learn unicycling is 10-15 hours. That's about an hour a day for two weeks.
Safety Gear: The Unicycle.com team strongly recommends a helmet and wrist guards. We've been unicycling for many years; we all wear safety gear.
Where To Learn: The best place we've found for training is a back deck, preferably made of wood, with a handrail. Wood is more friendly than concrete, and you'll need to hold onto the handrail while your leg muscles learn to react. If you don't have a back deck, try a baseball field with a chain-link fence. Pick a grassy area with solid, flat dirt and you can hold onto the fence.
Does This Thing Have A Front And Back? Yes. The seat post clamp skewer (bolt/nut or quick-release handle) is on the back. The pedal marked "L" should be on your left, "R" on your right.
How High Should The Seat Be? When you're seated on the unicycle, with one foot on a pedal in its lowest position, your leg should be almost straight.
Getting Started:
1. Pull the seat into place as shown in the top picture.
2. Spin in the wheel so that the pedal is in the 4:00 position, as shown in the next picture.
3. Put both hands on the handrail or fence, as shown in the third picture.
4. Step on the pedal closest to you. This is different from a bicycle, where you step on the forward pedal. Bicyclists are used to moving forward when mounting. On a unicycle, you want the wheel to rotate 1/4-turn backwards. Step on the pedal and you should now be on the seat with the wheel underneath you.
5. Hold onto the handrail tightly and lean forward slightly while pedaling slowly. Next is the most important tip we can offer you. When the unicycle starts to fall, let it. Stay on your feet and let it fall. The seat can be replaced; your seat can't. Continue to hold onto the handrail until you've practiced steps 1-4 at least three hours.
Congratulations! You're about 10 hours away from riding without assistance! During the next several days you'll ease your grip on the handrail and then hold on with one hand. You'll travel a few feet without assistance, then a few yards, then you'll soon discover the secret to unicycling: Lean in the direction you want to travel and the wheel will try to catch up with you. Always use caution when riding a unicycle. You are responsible for your own safety!
Unicycling Clubs: Unicycling is an individual sport, but unicyclists are a close-knit community. There are lots of unicycling clubs around the world. In the U.S., see the Unicycling Society of America at: www.unicycling.org/USA, and find the club nearest to you. If you don't find one, start one! You'll also find information to help you start a club.
Happy unicycling from the entire Unicycle.com team!
Q: Why do unicycles have only one wheel?
A: Ahem...
Q: Where's the other wheel?
A: Real men don't need two wheels.
Fitness and Distance Riding:
Q: What type of unicycle should I buy for fitness?
A: Fitness riding usually means you're covering some distance. If you're riding less than 3 miles, we'd suggest a 24 or 26 inch wheel. If you're traveling greater distances, we'd suggest a 29 or 36 inch wheel. The 36 inch wheel is the ultimate size for long distances. 36-inch riders can easily reach speeds of 10 to 12 miles per hour. If you're new to the 36, we suggest 150mm (6-inch) cranks. After you've ridden it for a few months and built leg strength, try switching to 125mm (5-inch) cranks. You won't have to move your knees so much and your ride will be much smoother.
Wheel size: 24-, 26- or 29, or 36-inch
Cranks: 5-inch; 6-inch for 36-inch wheels
Seat: Airseat conversion (remove foam pad, replace it with a 12-inch tire tube)
If you're between 5 and 5-1/2 feet in height, a 24-inch wheel is best. 5-1/2 feet to 5-8 should consider a 26-inch wheel. 5-9 and higher will prefer the 28- or 36-inch wheel.
Mountain Unicycling:
Q: What makes a mountain unicycle different from street unicycles?
A: Off-road unicycles have stronger axles, longer (and lighter) crank arms for climbing, and a big fat knobby tire.

Time Out says
Posted: Mon Dec 10 2012
When he wasn't shaking up the literary world or laying the foundation for the counterculture, Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997) was something of an inveterate shutterbug, especially between 1953 and 1963, the decade when he rose to prominence. He kept a camera by his side almost constantly, snapping pictures of himself and the members of his milieu, including William S. Burroughs, Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso and Jack Kerouac. These photos, lost among the poet's papers until their rediscovery in the 1980s, represent a unique document of a group of artists who reshaped the American imagination and way of life.

How Obama Victory Could Affect Areas Of US Economy
The Associated Press
Upper-income Americans may face a tax increase. Auto fuel economy standards might be raised. Stocks of construction and engineering companies could benefit.
America's decision to re-elect President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney will affect all that and other elements of the U.S. economy and financial system â¿¿ from the health care law to the overhaul of financial rules.
At the same time, a gridlocked Congress will limit Obama's influence. Tuesday's election kept Republicans in control of the House. Democrats still control the Senate, but without a commanding majority.Here's how Obama's re-election could affect key sectors: â¿¿ ECONOMY: Obama has laid out some key themes for rejuvenating the economy: Extend Bush-era tax cuts for low- and middle-income Americans. Spend more to build and repair roads, bridges and other public structures. Provide targeted tax breaks to businesses. Most immediately, Obama needs to persuade congressional Republicans and Democrats to reach a budget agreement to prevent the economy from falling off a "fiscal cliff." Without a deal, deep spending cuts and tax increases will start to kick in next year. The combination of those measures could send the economy back into recession and drive the unemployment rate back up to 9 percent next year, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office. The rate is now 7.9 percent. Analysts warn that Congress must break its stalemate for the economy to sustain its recovery. "There will be a lot of brinksmanship, and that will hurt the economy and likely upset the financial markets," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said Wednesday. Still, the urgency of the crisis could "generate the political will necessary to get the deal done," Zandi said. And that could mean "much, much stronger growth" by 2014. Others caution that even if the fiscal cliff is averted, the economy may continue to be hampered by slow growth, stagnant pay and modest job gains.

And they pointed out also that since Davis had so many yards early in alot of his games that he sat out the equivalent of 2 full games and still went over 200 yards in the season. I bet he would have had at least 200 more yards if he had played more. Still, can't complain, most total yards in 1 full season including playoffs by a RB ever. His career was short but he did it all (Leage MVP, Superbowl MVP, 2000K club, 2 Superbowl wins, Probowls).
Actually it was...
I loved how Miami was strutting around, thinking they had a shot at beating us in the playoffs. Shanny used the game as a chess match to see what Miami was doing defensively and to plan against it. Smart move. Wanny and Jimmy threw the kitchen sink at us and then had no answer when we played them in the playoffs.

Wonder Boy
Revision as of 11:19, 17 March 2012 by Black Squirrel (Talk | contribs)
Wonder Boy (ワンダーボーイ) is an arcade game developed by Escape/Sega in 1986. It is a platform game that runs on Sega System 1 hardware, and lead to numerous sequels for a variety of platforms.
In Wonder Boy, the player controls a caveman-like character named Tom-Tom through seven areas with four rounds to save his girlfriend Tanya from a monster. There are numerous items hidden in eggs, including hammers, skateboards and fairies.
Sequels and Re-releases
Wonder Boy was later ported to the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Sega Game Gear, Sega SG-1000, Sega Master System, and ZX Spectrum. The Master System version of the game was made available through the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2008. The Japanese Master System version is called Super Wonder Boy (スーパーワンダーボーイ), and the American Game Gear version was renamed Revenge of Drancon for unknown reasons.
Wonder Boy is notable for branching off into two different series during the late 1980s. Escape (now Westone) initially had a deal with Sega in which Sega owned the rights to the names and characters featured in Wonder Boy, but Westone owned everything else (i.e. the source code). As Westone had another deal with Hudson Soft to develop games for them, Wonder Boy was brought to the Nintendo Entertainment System under the name of Adventure Island. Adventure Island was a huge success, leading to numerous sequels featuring the same character.
Westone would later release Wonder Boy in Monster Land, the first official sequel to Wonder Boy, however, unlike Adventure Island, this would take the form of a RPG/platformer crossover, in which Tom-Tom is armed with a sword and has to slay monsters. This formula also proved to be a success, particularly on the Sega Master System, and lead to numerous sequels also. To make matters worse, many of these games were also altered for release on the TurboGrafX-16 under different names (including another Adventure Island).
Though there are still games being produced which follow the original Wonder Boy/Adventure Island formula, there has not been a game that follows the Monster Land formula since 1994. There is a strong fanbase which wishes for new Monster Land games, including the creators of the MEKA emulator, which is named after an enemy in Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap.

The morning after mom got her stem cells back dad and Jon were switching places. We had it set up that the hotel would have a taxi there at 5 am to take dad and I to the airport to pick up Jon & get dad on his flight, and another taxi would pick Jon and I up at the airport for transport back to the hotel. We worked with someone for a week, checking daily to ensure this was all in place. Well, it didn't work out (go figure). So at 5:15am I ended up yelling and crying in the hotel lobby trying to make the nice man who spoke a little English to comprehend why I was so upset. I give him so much credit, he didn't get worked up at all, he got us a taxi, and gave me his personal phone so they could make sure a taxi was coming for us & even spoke with the taxi driver who picked us up. The whole morning was a fiasco, but it worked out in the end. Dad was off to the good ole USA, and Jon and I got back to the hotel eventually. The girl we worked with to set everything up met us in the lobby as soon as we walked in the door. She got us checked into our new room, and had our immigration cards stamped and brought directly to our rooms, and had someone switch my stuff to the new room. She was very helpful, and very upset that we had to deal with that. No reason to be upset since it ended up working out.
Once we got settled, off to the hospital we went. Mom was doing much better. Very happy to see Jon, and that he made it safely. She was back to her self just totally wore out. Doc said numbers are good, and she would enter isolation the following afternoon. We spent the day with her, and worried about Dad making it home okay. Lol
Early Wednesday morning, we got to the hospital so we could see mom one last time before isolation started. Doc F came in and went over her numbers, said he was happy, and she would enter isolation around 3pm. So pretty soon in comes a nurse with hair clippers, and points the chair. Guess it's haircut time! Lol she giggles a little, and gives mom a Mohawk so we can take a pic then off it all comes. Jon told the nurse it was her turn, she giggled shook her head no and out the door she went. We tested out some hats and scarves, there were a couple tears. Even bald, mom is beautiful. I think she looks adorable, even if she doesn't want to hear it. She got a kick out of all the different colors of hair. It went from blonde to black and every shade in between! Haha
A little rest, and some more fluids. They give a lot of isolation directions at once, and it can be a little overwhelming. Pretty soon they came in, and kicked Jon and I out. I didn't want to leave, may have been a little misty-eyed. It isn't easy leaving your mother in a foreign hospital that isn't very handicap accessible, especially when there is a certain degree of self-sufficiency that they require. A piece of advice – if possible, come before you progress & if that isn't possible, and you do have a certain extent of disability, bring a companion – you will need it (more on this in a future post). All the things your body is going through, the MS symptoms become exacerbated while here. I'm told this is "normal" and temporary. You may get worse before you get better – but that still doesn't make it easy.
It has been a tough few days, but the next 10-12 are spent in isolation for mom. She is in good spirits. I was talking to her last night, and she said well I think I'm in for the night. Haha I got a kick out of that, cuz well she's locked in tight. Through all this she still has her sense of humor, and is one strong woman. Isolation is just blood and urine tests to monitor her numbers while they wait for her new stemmies to take hold & build her new immune system. The posts may not be so often now, as there isn't much to report.

While drinking is expected at New Year's Eve parties, police want to remind everyone to be safe this holiday. Our Cara Thomas spoke with law enforcement officials about the seriousness of driving while intoxicated.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. --The New Year's ball has dropped, the parties are ending and you're on your way home. You've had quite a few drinks throughout the night, but you think you're fine to drive. However, police say it's those few drinks that cause about a third of fatal car accidents.
Sgt. Gary Bulinski, from the Syracuse Police Department, said, "When you look at drinking, it affects your fine motor skills, your dexterity, your vision, your hearing and therefore you have trouble doing the simple things such as operating a vehicle." Not only is drunk driving dangerous for the driver and everyone else on the road, but with court fees, bail and an increase in insurance the financial damage is enormous.
"First offense ends up running somewhere in the neighborhood of nine thousand dollars here in Onondaga County," said Bulinski.
While the first DWI charge is a misdemeanor, it'll still leave a mark. It'll be the start of a criminal record and could keep a person from a career in nursing, law enforcement or the military.
But the biggest price to pay could be the loss of a life, whether it's the driver or an innocent bystander. And police say they're doing all they can to prevent that from happening this year. Bulinski said, "If we can take that proactive approach as we do here in the City of Syracuse, have the extra patrols out there, make the arrests when necessary hopefully we can avoid causing that pain for other families."
Police encourage everyone to plan ahead before going out on New Year's Eve: Call a cab, have a family member or friend come get you or have a designated driver. They say it's those smart decisions that could save a life.

Hi all ~~ 50s ARE fabulous!!
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 4:14pm
Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to drop a note and introduce myself.
I am happily married for almost 30 years, living in California, I am in the Fabulous 50s and loving every minute of it!
I am excited to be here. Looking forward to the many discussions that go on in here.
If you have any questions feel free to email me at email@example.com
Looking forward to chatting with you.

First of all, Hello to flyinpfish, Angie, elc11, an any others I may have missed! Welcome to 50 & Fab, and elc11, thank you for your various visits to the board that I always seem to miss! I hope to get more acquainted with each of you soon.....soon as my real life settles down enough that I can come in here and visit with all of you!
I need to explain that I am confused....Thia, flyinpfish, and other California gals here! What is meant by "N of the GG"? N is no doubt north, but GG? I googled it and failed, then googled 'N of the GG' and immediately 'Golden Gate' popped up! Is that what the GG stands for? Just curious on my part, and like a woman, I had to ask!
I lived in California a year, in an area 'we' used to call 'Northern Cal' way back in 'the 50s days'....Crescent City, definitely on the coast, and north of the redwoods...lol. Since those 'olden' days, I've been through your state a few times, but not too familiar with abbreviations used for different localities.
I enjoyed reading everyone's messages, and do hope to hear from each of you more often. Also, rest assured that just because our board is entitled "50 & Fabulous", it includes all you ladies that range in age from 50 through 60, 70, and beyond! After all, I was 70 when I joined back in 1998, and never left. We even welcome those ladies that are in their 40s and a few in their 30s used to post here as well. I hope to hear from them again...
|Fri, 09-14-2012 - 2:38am
I love hearing stories of people happily being together for many years... and wow, 30 years! Congratulations to you and your husband. Takes a lot of work, marriage. Kinda shakes up my world a bit. you know, having been single for years. Omg... now, I miss intimacy... with a man...
Moving on...
I'm fabulously fifty-one, and I, too, live in a small town N of the GG, up in the redwoods, but I'm on the coast... Beautiful here... even when I'm cursing the summer fog... course the hot summer sunshine is just a few miles inland. I've recently become a grandparent (to 6 month old Hannah—dazzling, she is!) which is awesome, except that they live a 3+ hour drive away. Bittersweet watching 'em grow up, indeed. I'm missing out right now, I know that, but I visit when I can. Nice to meet ya!
|Thu, 08-09-2012 - 1:03pm
I am also a native, have lived here my entire life except for 1 year to the day when we moved for dh's job. When I was a kid we thought earthquakes were exciting, if the hanging lamp in the dining room was swinging it was a good one. As an adult and homeowner I obviously take a very different view of them now!!
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 9:17pm
Earthquakes? I didn't know that we were having any (well, other than the usual little ones). Guess I'll have to visit the USGS didyoufeelit website. Its a little humid here to seem like earthquake weather...I know, there's not supposed to be any such thing but sometimes I wonder! How long have you been in CA? I'm guessing long enough to be blase about the earthquakes LOL. ETA: I see that L.A. got a couple of 4.5's and a number of lesser quakes/aftershocks. I didn't feel any of them down here.
Its not supposed to get THAT hot here thank goodness, but its still pretty hot---it got to about 90 today at my house and I think Friday is supposed to be the worst. We may break down and turn on the AC. We've never used it, we got a unit installed last fall when we had to replace our furnace. I know its going to bump up the utility bill big time so I'm waiting until I can't stand the heat to turn it on!
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 3:56pm
I stopped to chat, I'm not Fifty and Fab anymore...how about Sixty and Superb? or something like that lol. I'm the cl for a similarly themed board, 50ish and Beyond Parents, but I drop in here sometimes to see if there's anything going on...we all have to pitch in to keep the boards active. And I suspect that the cl Liz is on vacay right now.
We're getting a heat wave down in my part of the state. How's it up where you are?

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools Required
Installation Time: (approx) 2 Hours
Plug both connectors back in and make sure they are fully seated.
The OTT-1M10 module contains a built-in Light Bar Switch connection. It is used to disable the third brake light in the bar when the top is in the up position. When the top is down, the light bar turns on when you apply the brakes.
Since all cars are different, the module must be programmed for proper operation. You will program both the up and down motions. Programming can be done separately and in any order. Follow the steps below.
The module controls both the down and up motions of the top. To operate in One- Touch mode, press and release the up or down switch. Once started, the top will travel to the end and then quit. When closing the top, the motor will continue to run for a few seconds to allow you to pull the top and fasten the latches. To stop the motion while in one-touch mode, press the switch again. To control the top in manual mode, push and hold the switch as normal.
NOTE: The "vehicle motion sensor" will continue to monitor the speed of the car and disable the top if the car is moving.

The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) is designed to help small, early-stage companies to raise equity finance by offering a range of tax reliefs to individual investors who purchase new shares in those companies. It complements the existing Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) which will continue to offer tax reliefs to investors in higher-risk small companies. SEIS is intended to recognise the particular difficulties which very early stage companies face in attracting investment, by offering tax relief at a higher rate than that offered by the existing EIS.
SEIS applies for shares issued on or after 6 April 2012. The rules have been designed to mirror those of EIS as it is anticipated that companies may want to go on to use EIS after an initial investment under SEIS.
Read more on the Enterprise Investment Scheme
More detailed guidance on the rules for EIS and SEIS can be found in HMRC's Venture Capital Schemes manual which can be found by following the link below. This guidance note provides some further links to specific pages in that manual.
Find out more in the HMRC's Venture Capital Schemes manual
On this page:
Income Tax relief is available to individuals who subscribe for qualifying shares in a company which meets the SEIS requirements, and who have UK tax liability against which to set the relief. Investors need not be UK resident.
The shares must be held for a period of 3 years from date of issue for relief to be retained. If they are disposed of within that 3 year period, or if any of the qualifying conditions cease to be met during that period, relief will be withdrawn or reduced.
Relief is available at 50% of the cost of the shares, on a maximum annual investment of £100,000. The relief is given by way of a reduction of tax liability, providing there is sufficient tax liability against which to set it. A claim to relief can be made up to 5 years after the 31 January following the tax year in which the investment was made.
Find out more in HMRC's Venture Capital Schemes manual
Jenny invests £20,000 in the tax year 2012-13 (6 April 2012 to 5 April 2013) in SEIS qualifying shares. The SEIS relief available is £10,000 (£20,000 at 50%). Her tax liability for the year (before SEIS relief) is £15,000 which she can reduce to £5,000 as a result of her investment.
James invests £20,000 in the tax year 2012-13 in SEIS qualifying shares. The relief available is £10,000, as above. His tax liability for the year (before SEIS relief) is £7,500. James can reduce his tax bill to zero as a result of his SEIS investment, but loses the rest of the relief available.
There is a 'carry-back' facility which allows all or part of the cost of shares acquired in one tax year to be treated as though the shares had been acquired in the preceding tax year. The SEIS rate for that earlier year is then applied to the shares, and relief given for the earlier year. This is subject to the overriding limit for relief each year. Please note that there is no SEIS rate for a year earlier than 2012-13, so there is no scope for carrying relief back before that year.
This relief was originally only available for the tax year 2012-13 but has been extended to 2013-14 at half the rate. If you disposed of an asset that would have given rise to a chargeable gain in 2012-13, and reinvested all or part of the amount of the gain in shares which also qualify for SEIS income tax relief, the amount reinvested may be exempted from Capital Gains Tax. If you dispose of an asset that would give rise to a chargeable gain in 2013-14, and reinvest all or part of the amount of the gain in shares which also qualify for SEIS income tax relief, half of the amount reinvested may be exempted from Capital Gains Tax. Capital gains re-investment relief is also subject to the £100,000 annual investment limit which applies for income tax relief. Thus for 2012-13 gains of up to £100,000 may be exempted and for 2013-14 up to £50,000. The latest date for making a claim for 2012-13 is 31 January 2019 and, for 2013-14, 31 January 2020.
The asset does not have to be disposed of first; the investment in SEIS shares can take place before the disposal of the asset, providing that both the disposal and investment take place in the same year.
If you make use of the 'carry-back' facility for the purposes of SEIS income tax relief note that any claim to reinvestment relief must match the year in which the shares are then treated as issued. If you are issued SEIS shares in 2013-14, you may want to claim SEIS income tax relief as if all or some had been issued instead in 2012-13. If you do so, the shares treated as issued in 2012-13 are also treated as issued in 2012-13 for the purposes of re-investment relief and you cannot claim re-investment relief on gains made in 2013-14 in respect of those shares.
The Capital Gains Manual gives guidance on when an asset is disposed of for CGT purposes, starting at paragraph CG14250.
Find out more in the Capital Gains Manual
Benjamin sells an asset in June 2012 for £200,000 and realises a chargeable gain (before exemption) of £80,000.
If he makes qualifying investments of only £20,000 in SEIS shares in 2012-13, he can claim that £20,000 of his gain is exempted from CGT and he will be liable to CGT on a chargeable gain of £60,000 on the disposal of the asset in June 2012.
(Allowable losses and the CGT annual exempt amount can be set off against the remaining £60,000 chargeable gain in the normal way).
Neela sells an asset in June 2013 for £200,000 and realises a chargeable gain (before exemption) of £80,000.
If she makes qualifying investments of at least £80,000 in SEIS shares in 2013-14, and all other conditions are met, she can claim that £40,000 (half of the gain)is exempted from CGT. She does not need to invest the whole £200,000 sale proceeds in order to get full exemption.
If you have received Income Tax relief (which has not subsequently been withdrawn) on the cost of the shares, and the shares are disposed of after they have been held for at least three years, any gain is free from Capital Gains Tax.
Please note: if no claim to Income Tax relief is made, then any subsequent disposal of the shares will not qualify for exemption from Capital Gains Tax.
The company can follow a share issue under SEIS with further issues of shares under EIS, or investment from a Venture Capital Trust (VCT). However, it must have spent at least 70 per cent of the monies raised by the SEIS issue before it can do so.
A company cannot issue shares under the SEIS scheme if it has already had investment from a VCT, or issued shares in respect of which it has provided an EIS compliance statement (EIS1).

There are psychological reasons why we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do. Here are some of them.
Actor-Observer Bias. This very fundamental bias in perception states that when we try to explain why we do things (we are the "actor"), we tend to over-ascribe cause to situational factors. So, for example, when we fail at something, we tend toward situational explanations (e.g., "the sun was in my eyes," "it was because of peer pressure," etc.). Those watching us are biased toward making dispositional attributions for our actions ("she is awkward," "he is immoral"). As a result, we tend to blame the situation, while others blame us.
How to get better self-insight: Realize that BOTH the situation and we are responsible for our actions and outcomes. Realize that others' perception is biased toward blaming us.
Self-Protective Biases & Rationalization. It is a very human tendency to believe that we are better, stronger, or smarter than others (for example, 90 percent of people believe that they are "above average" in intelligence and communication skills). When we fail, we often rationalize and make excuses. We do this, in part, to protect our self-esteem, but in doing so, we also lack the self-insight that would allow us to improve.

Comments about Red Nylon Dog Collars with White LEDs:
I purchased this collar for my one year old beagle, Jeffrey, a notorious escape artist. Because he is mostly black, my greatest fear was for him to get loose at night (he crawls under the fence!), and I would not be able to see him. Not a problem with this brightly lit collar! I previously had a light that attached to a regular collar, but he chewed on it, and of course, completely destroyed it! It also did not work well in really cold weather. The only thing I did not like about this collar, is that he manages to turn it on by himself when he is scratching. A bright light woke me once in the middle of the night, and I suddenly realized it was coming from Jeffrey's kennel! I think it surprised him, too! Other than that, I am really happy with the collar.

Summary: The best book for lawyers to read on the problems of assisted reproduction.--JurimetricsCarefully researched... In Professor Dolgin's view, the family carried forward the feudal structure of hierarchy, mutual loyalty and lack of individual autonomy into the modern era until, like other institutions, it came under stress from the overriding reality of modern life: marketplace economics.--New York Law JournalDolgin argues that [surrogacy and reproductive technologies] have only acceler ...show moreated a clash in visions of the family that have uneasily coexisted for more than a century.--ChoiceDefining the Family: Law, Technology, and Reproduction in an Uneasy Age provides a sweeping portrait of the family in American law from the nineteenth century to the present. The family today has come to be defined by individuality and choice. Pre-nuptial agreements, non-marital cohabitation, gay and lesbian marriages have all profoundly altered our ideas about marriage and family. In the last few years, reproductive technology and surrogacy have accelerated this process of change at a breathtaking rate. Once simple questions have taken on a dizzying complexity: Who are the real parents of a child? What are the relationships and responsibilities between a child, the woman who carried it to term, and the egg donor? Between viable sperm and the wife of a dead donor? The courts and the law have been wildly inconsistent and indecisive when grappling with these questions. Should these cases be decided in light of laws governing contracts and property? Or it is more appropriate to act in the best interests of the child, even if that child is unborn, or even unconceived? No longer merely settling disputes among family members, the law is now seeing its own role expand, to the point where it is asked to regulate situations unprecedented in human history. Janet L. Dolgin charts the response of the law to modern reproductive technology both as it transforms our image of the family and is itself trans ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 97
