Pledge to vote for Pat Quinn on November 4th
Once again, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is trying to eliminate critical special education class size protections that ensure all kids get the education they deserve.
With this change, school districts could reduce staff and increase the number of special education students in every classroom. When classes are overcrowded and understaffed, students can't get the attention and resources they need to learn. It's that simple.
IFT members made all the difference twice before in stopping this harmful proposal, but we need to do even more this time.
Take five minutes NOW to tell the State Board what our children's classrooms would look like if these state protections are gone.
Any proposed rule change by ISBE would have to be approved by the legislature's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR).
We've included below a customizable message to send to ISBE and JCAR. The more personal you make the message, the more impact you can have in stopping this dangerous proposal.
Please include below in your personal message:
The Illinois Senate passed the We Are One union coalition negotiated agreement, SB 2404, with Sen. President John Cullerton. Senate Bill 2404 is reasonable and responsible legislation that protects benefits, provides an ironclad funding guarantee, and provides substantial state budget relief to help fund education and other critical public services.
This agreed-upon legislation will protect 90-95 percent of most people's pension benefits and saves the state more than $45 billion to stabilize the retirement systems. In contrast, Speaker Madigan's pension slashing "mega-bill," Senate Bill 1, would cut your retirement savings by as much as 45 percent - almost half! SB 1 passed the House last week by just a few votes and awaits consideration by the Senate.
Tell your representative to support SB2404!
UPDATE: SB 2404 passed the Senate May 9, but pension-slashing SB 1 could still be called for a vote. Keep e-mailing your Senator to stop Madigan's destructive mega-bill!

On May 31, 2011, the Illinois House passed SB1556 with House Amendment #2. As amended, the bill would repeal bargaining rights for thousands of state employees and deny thousands more unorganized state workers the right to join a union. While this legislation currently addresses only state employees, it is likely just a matter of time before educational workers will be targeted, as well. ACT NOW! Contact your senator IMMEDIATELY!
Although the Senate previously recognized the egregious nature of the bill and refused to consider it, senators are poised to vote on SB 1556 as soon as this week. There is no time to wait!
We're the Graduate Employees' Organization (GEO), a labor union representing more than 2,200 Teaching and Graduate Assistants (TAs & GAs - all of us are also students). GEO teachers provide more than 20% of all hours of instruction on campus.We're a local chapter of the Illinois Federation of Teachers.
Our old contract expired in August. We've been negotiating our new contract since April - but we haven't yet reached agreement on any of the major issues on the table.
Most of us couldn't attend UIUC without tuition waivers. Waivers are how the university is able to hire our labor so cheaply and compete for high-quality students. Despite this, the administration wants to phase out tuition waivers and treat us as a "source of revenue!" This will make graduate education unaffordable for most working class students.
Our four Bargaining Pillars are: secure a fair Living Wage, improve Health Care, ensure Access and Equality and freedom from discrimination for all graduate employees, and protect Tuition Waivers. They refuse to
set a minimum living wage, and won't even bargain on tuition waiver protection. They're stalling on basic issues of health care and anti-discrimination.
While the budget increases every year, the administration itself soaks up more and more of our resources. Since 2005 they have increased administrative positions by almost 20%, while faculty positions have increased by only 0.6%!
E-mail Governor Quinn now and ask them to vote NO on SB 1313!
Senate Bill 1313 would allow the director of Central Management Services (CMS) to determine what amount, if any, the state would contribute towards healthcare for retired members of the State Universities Retirement System (SURS) and the State Employees Retirement System (SERS). The director could decide to eliminate the state subsidy and force these retirees to pay the entire cost of their health insurance.
Please act now to help save healthcare funding for retired Illinois workers.
On April 1, the Springfield State Journal-Register newspaper published a story highlighting the personal views of Dick Ingram, executive director of the Illinois Teachers Retirement System. Most notably in the article, the director called for diminishing key benefits for existing workers and retirees.
There is no denying that our pension systems are in serious need of stabilization. The combination of politicians' schemes to skip payments and the creation of an unrealistic repayment plan, combined with the recent deep recession, are all factors that have created the funding challenges we face. But let's be clear: benefits are not to blame. What's more, teachers have always faultlessly paid their portion of their contribution toward the retirement systems…and they still do.
For many years teachers have watched as politicians, corporate executives and editorial page writers have criticized educators' salaries and benefits. They've worked to cajole the public into believing that teachers and public workers with defined benefit pensions are greedy, selfish and undeserving. Regardless of how modest these retirements are - and regardless of the fact that the majority of Illinois teachers do not qualify for or pay into Social Security - this new approach from TRS Director Ingram does little more than reinforce the scapegoating and false truths of those who place low value on public service.
We must make our voices heard. I urge you to let the TRS Board of Trustees know that you are disappointed with Mr. Ingram's actions and to insist that he advocate for participants in the system and support the positions of the Board of Trustees.
Even as schools struggle financially, lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that would severely restrict local funding that keeps the school doors open to educate our children. Most of the school districts affected would lose millions in funding.
SB 2862 would have far-reaching negative impact upon already revenue-challenged school districts. The legislation requires that districts in PTELL (tax-capped) communities for which the total taxable Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) is less than the previous year be restricted to a 0% extension, or the rate approved by voters. Currently, districts subject to PTELL are limited in their ability to increase local revenue by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5%, whichever is less. SB 2862 eliminates the authority of a local school board to increase local revenue by inflationary costs.
Our local bus drivers in Wilmette District 39 may be outsourced to a private for profit company.We know our bus drivers and they know our kids. Our school board decides who gets hired and who gets fired. The bus drivers go above and beyond because they work for us, the taxpayers of Wilmette. They are committed to the district as long term employees. We should keep these dedicated people who keep our kids safe and provide customized service.
Turning control of our children's transportation over to an unknown outside company is the wrong way to go. Once we sign a contract and hand over control, we have little say if if the private company starts running the operation into the ground.
Sign our petition and tell our school board members to keep our local bus drivers. You can't put a price on our kids safety!
Whether you are an educator, paraprofessional, state employee or other public servant, when you entered your career you made a commitment to the state and the students or citizens you serve. You dedicated yourself to improving the quality of life and providing a brighter future for all Illinoisans. In return, the state promised to provide you with a modest pension after a lifetime of public service.
You have faithfully paid into the pension system and kept your promise to serve our state. But now some lawmakers in Springfield want to break their promise. They are attacking your hard-earned pension and trying to diminish your benefits, even though legal experts have called it unconstitutional.
We must not let that happen. Lawmakers must do the right thing and honor their contract to provide fair retirement benefits to all public employees. Tell them to vote "No" on SB 512 or any other legislation that cuts or dimishes public pensions.
Tell Lawmakers to Vote NO Today!
HB 3793 would have a far-reaching, negative and compounding impact upon already revenue-challenged school districts throughout Illinois.
The bill would further tie the hands of tax-capped (PTELL) communities in their abilities to increase local revenue for schools. Under HB 3793, those districts for which the total taxable Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) is less than the previous year would be restricted to a 0% increase in the district's extension, or the rate approved by voters. These tax-capped districts are already limited in their ability to increase local revenue by the amount of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5%, whichever is less.
Students and schools in most tax-capped communities are currently struggling from significant loss of revenue due to cuts in transportation, Title IV and V, General State Aid Hold Harmless provisions, and delayed payments from the state and other reductions. If HB 3793 passes, some Illinois districts stand to lose as much as an additional $4 million or more. The impact would be devastating, likely resulting in more program cuts and layoffs statewide.
Tell your elected lawmakers to do the right thing for students and oppose HB 3793.
IFT members who are part of the Illinois Federation of Public Employees, Local 4408, are facing layoffs at the Department of Agriculture. These 17 employees provide valuable public services in the inspection of animal products, products and standards, seed inspectors, warehouse examiners, security guards and plant and pesticide specialists.
The services they provide protect consumers and provide public safety. Many of these services deal directly with the food we eat on a daily basis. These employees are among thousands of planned layoffs.
The Governor has cited a lack of funds as the reason for these layoffs, but there is enough funding to keep these employees working right now. The legislature should pass a supplemental appropriation during the veto session and prevent any layoffs.
Whether in Wisconsin and Ohio or here in Illinois, those of us in the labor movement are fighting to maintain and defend our jobs, our paychecks, our modest pensions and affordable health care, and even our basic right to collective bargaining.
In the latest chapter, Governor Pat Quinn has announced an effort to cancel pay increases owed to state employees, simply ignoring their contract. IFT is fighting back—and you can help.
The union will have a vigorous legal strategy in the courts. But IFT members need to make their voices heard. We need you to tell Gov. Quinn that his attempt to cancel negotiated pay increases blatantly violates the union's collective bargaining agreement and ask him to do the right thing, honor these negotiated contracts.
The IFT has heard from reliable sources that when the General Assembly returns to Springfield on Wednesday, June 22 to end the budget/capital funding stalemate a devastating bill will also be called for a vote in the Senate.
SB 1556, sponsored by Sen. Cullerton and Rep. Currie, would strip collective bargaining rights from thousands of public employees in Illinois. This legislation passed by a vote of 62-52-1 in the final hours of session on May 31 and is now on the order of final passage in the Senate.
Do not let them silence your voice! It is imperative that you contact your State Senator today and urge them to vote "NO" on SB 1556. Let them know that we will not allow what happened in Wisconsin to happen here.
Call and e-mail your State Senator NOW to stand up and speak out for your rights. We also encourage you to call Governor Quinn's office and let him know what you think of his attempts to strip collective bargaining rights away from union members. His office number is 217-782-6830.
Please share this information with your friends and family and urge them to do the same.
Support "Accountability for All"
We are at a pivotal time in our nation and our state's history. Across the country we are seeing communities, politicians, educators and parents rise up in passionate defense of what they believe to be the best way to reform our education system. There is a path forward where everyone can come together to find real solutions to improve education in Illinois. Developed by educators, "Accountability for All" is a comprehensive set of education reform proposals that tackles what needs fixing to ensure our kids come first, everyone is held accountable and the best teachers stay in our classrooms.
But while Illinois' teachers are finding ways to overcome many challenges, they also face potential legislation to eliminate collective bargaining rights and cut pensions.
Teachers use their collective bargaining rights to advocate for students when they negotiate over classroom issues. We also believe politicians need to honor the pension agreement that was made with every teacher when they were hired. Teachers do not receive Social Security and their pension is their only source of income in retirement.
A Continuing Resolution adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives last week eliminates funding for National Board certification for teachers. On March 4, Senator Inouye (D-HI) introduced an amendment to the House resolution that would restore funding for the certification program.
Tell Senators Durbin and Kirk to support the Inouye amendment (#149) and restore funding for this rigorous professional certification program for educators.
The majority of the federal dollars for the National Board program are used to provide direct financial assistance for teachers in all 50 states to pursue the costly certification. Since 2001, more than 72,000 educators have received this critical financial support.
To achieve National Board Certification, teachers must demonstrate that they meet the highest professional standards for what educators should know and be able to do in the classroom. Studies have shown that National Board certification results in a significant positive impact on student test scores and increased teacher retention.
At a time when calls for education reform and increased student achievement are more prevalent than ever before, it is essential to ensure that teachers continue to receive support to participate in this professional program.
The Inouye amendment will be voted on Tuesday, March 8, so timing is critical. Please e-mail Senators Durbin and Kirk TODAY and tell them to support continued federal funding for this effective and important program.
Contact lawmakers today and tell them to support Accountability for All!
IFT members, call or e-mail your lawmakers and tell them to support "Accountability for All," a plan proposed by the IFT, Illinois Education Association and Chicago Teachers Union to hold school administrators, school board members and teachers accountable for their performances on behalf of school children statewide. A joint effort of the three organizations, the "Accountability for All" legislative package proposes reforms that come from teachers, those who know best what works to improve achievement.
Among the proposals included are: requiring state funded, job-embedded professional development for teachers; requiring training for school board members in collective bargaining and other critical responsibilities; and the establishment of a second credential for principals to ensure high quality administrative performance. "Accountability for All" also includes proposals to fairly streamline the teacher dismissal process, as well as a Students Bill of Rights, which guarantees every student the right to have a qualified teacher in every classroom on the first day of each school year, as well as access to a rich curriculum that includes music, art and foreign language.
The union's legislative package is a response to the unproven, dangerous "reforms" being advocated by corporate-funded special interest groups which are seeking to eliminate collective bargaining rights and the right to strike, effectively eliminating teachers' abilities to advocate for students.
Tell lawmakers to oppose any proposal that would affect collective bargaining rights or eliminate due process.

'Dogs Edged By Aztecs For First MW Loss
April 13, 2013
By Stephanie Juncker LAS VEGAS, Nev. --- The No. 55 Fresno State women's tennis team dropped its first conference match of the season Saturday morning to No. 48 San Diego State in a neutral site match at UNLV. Despite winning the doubles point, the 'Dogs were only able to win two singles matches and the Aztecs won the match 4-3. "I'm proud of the girls because we always fight hard and have a ton of heart," said head coach Ryan Stotland. "It's unfortunate that we came up a little short against a very good San Diego State team. We were one set away from being the top team in the conference and I know that we can learn from this and make ourselves better." Fresno State got off to a great start in doubles with a complete sweep. Melissa McQueen and Rana Sherif Ahmed cruised to an 8-2 win at the top spot, Sophie Watts and Bianca Modoc remain undefeated at No. 2 with a 8-4 victory and Aishwarya Agrawal and Olga Kirpicheva won their fourth straight on court three 8-2. For the first time all season, the Bulldogs won the doubles point and failed to win at least three singles matches. Watts continued her hot streak, winning her ninth straight, as she dominated 6-1, 6-2 over Kristin Buth at No. 4. Agrawal picked up the other win for the Bulldogs as she secured a tightly contested match on court two. Her 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 over Alicia Aguilar is the sophomore's fourth straight win.
The 'Dogs are back in action tomorrow versus UNLV at 10 a.m. in Las Vegas. This is the second meeting the season between the schools this season with the Bulldogs taking the first 5-2 in January.

The Raptors visit the defending champs in Dallas tonight, with plenty of storylines heading in. Here's five things to watch.
Casey's Return: Coach Casey clearly wants to downplay the season's only matchup against the team he helped coach to a title last season.
"We're going there for business, it's not going to be a social call for me," said Casey on Thursday. "We're going in there to try and compete against the defending Champions and that's going to be my mindset going in."
Definitely what you want to hear, but I can only assume it's much tougher to shut those emotions off in real time. The Raptors players can use that to their advantage by trying to win one for Casey tonight.
Better D In Big D: With a defensive efficiency rating of 95.7 on Wednesday against the Pacers, the Raptors are clearly moving in the right direction at that end of the floor. But the final 90 seconds illustrated that there's still plenty of work to be done. Tonight's an excellent test.
Getting The Offence On Track: The Raptors hung around in large part thanks to their defence on Wednesday, but their offence struggled for the first three quarters. One way to cure some of their woes? Get to the free throw line with a little more regularity than the 13 FT attempts they've posted in each of their first two games.
Mavs' Sluggish Start: Whether it's a post-title hangover or the product of personnel changes, the Mavericks have had a rough start to this compacted 2011-12 season at 0-3. Blowout losses at home to the Heat and Nuggets were alarming, but last night's 104-102 defeat following a buzzer-beating Kevin Durant three-pointer was just plain heartbreaking.
The home side should be starving for that first win tonight, so the Raptors had better be ready.
Vince Carter: Say what you will about his post-Raptors career, but Carter always seems to have something in the tank (man, I hate that word) against his former team. Does he do it again tonight?
Remember, big things are possible in Big D, where a seriously undermanned Raptors squad earned one of their biggest wins of the season almost a year ago to the day. Join our live chat to discuss it tonight using the hashtag #RapsMavs .

Comic Book Creator Kaare Andrews to Direct 'Cabin Fever' Prequel
In Development By Nathan Adams on February 15, 2012 | Comments (3)Everybody remembers the 2002 horror film Cabin Fever; it was the movie that made you fall either in love or hate with Eli Roth. And it was a movie about a bunch of kids in a cabin who get stricken with a very violent and rapidly spreading flesh-eating virus. That's all well and good, but have you ever felt like the original Cabin Fever was just scratching the surface of what the disease-ridden world it created had to offer? No? Well, somebody did, and that's why there's a prequel in the works. Sure, watching a bunch of attractive young people get eaten alive by a gruesome disease is fun times, but haven't you ever wondered what really made that virus tick? Where did it come from, and what was its motivation? Jake Wade Wall (The Hitcher) has written a script entitled Cabin in the Woods: Patient Zero that's sure to answer all of these burning questions and more. It tells the tale of a Caribbean cruise that runs aground on a research island. One can only assume that the thing being researched there is horrible diseases, because soon after the shipwreck, the passengers of said ship find themselves falling ill and fighting for survival. It kind of sounds like a cross between the original film and Lost, which is a concept that probably has some box office potential.

I'm a pretty varied person, as in I have many interests and titles. Wife and mom are my most important labels, followed closely by artist if anyone would be so kind as to consider me one. As for art... It is the balance in my life. I don't just like it or love it, I need it. It's the outlet that God gave me to calm me down when stress and anxiety try to take over. Art is my passion, and I want to use that passion to bless others. ** Etsy ** Facebook ** Portfolio ** society6 ** |

I am growing a few tomatoes. I seem to be having a problem with something eating the plant I have searched the web and it seems to be cut worms, I also went on You Tube to try and find a soulution to get rid of the pests . On one site they mentioned yellow corn meal, because the cut worms eat the corn meal but their stomach can't handle the meal. My question is this true and has anyone heard or tried this method. Please help. Any method that has worked for anyone, I will be willing to try. Thanks
SO. Cal. Jesse |

Jesse, could you please explain how and where the plants are being eaten? I ask only b'c where I live cut worms are only a problem when plants are first set out and when the main stems are spindly they come up out of the ground and encircle the stem down low next to the soil and gnaw it off. When the stems are strong they can't do that and besides, they can't even start gnawing until they've completely encircled the stem so the way to prevent that is not to use collars but to use a physical barrier that prevents them from completing that circle so that means using split plastic soda straws or something like that. I'd just use twigs from some dead Queen Anne's Lace plants which works fine. Andplacing them next to the stem. However, there's more than one kind of cutworm and some can actually climb the plant instead of severing new plants down low. Since I have no experience with those I don't know what they do when they climb the plant. But if you could share with us what kind of damage you're seeing and where on the plant that would be a great help b'c there are other critters that can gnaw and chew tomato plants as well. Carolyn |

jesse, I wonder if you're seeing tomato fruitworms? They look similar to cutworms, so if you're seeing fruitworms you might think of cutworms. tomato fruitworms images (ignore the two attention-seeking hornworms "horning" in) Fruitworms eat leaves: I find more of them on tomato leaves than I find fruit damage. They also eat through the skin of a fruit, making a neat hollow in the interior where they can gorge themselves on seeds and pulp without being seen. Then they go off to become a moth, leaving you scratching your head when you later find the untenanted hole. They may also bore into stems and leaf midribs. The tomato fruitworm is also known as the corn earworm. |

Carolyn thanks for cluing me in. The plant has already set fruit and the leaves and some fruit has been eaten looks like it could be the fruitworm thanks Missing and Carolyn for the I.D. Well today I placed a plastic gatorade jug around some of the other tom's so I'll see how that works, I'll keep y'all posted. Thanks all I think some of the tom's have fell victim to the fruit worm ugh. I believe there is still time to start some tom's from seed. Thanks again |

Waaaaah! The storms here in SW Ohio snapped off the tops to some of my gorgeous tomato plants - I would say at least 12" broke off. I've already started rooting a few other broken stems (smaller ones, not main ones!) to give away to other people so I want to keep these. Would it be worth it to go ahead and root the broken stalks and plant them later in the summer for fall production? Better Boys took the brunt of the damage since they have so much foliage. Grape plants did much better... |

it would be worth it to try, but it's a bit late in the season. by the time they get a root system established for fruiting, it could be too late in the fall for anything to actually ripen. |

Good point. I've got 2 in water and 2 in sterile seed started right now just to see what happens. Does it matter that they were pretty good size branches (probably about .5" in diameter)? |
- Posted by cody_mi z5 MI (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jun 28, 09 at 17:43
shouldn't be a problem. if the leaves wilt too much, take some of them off and move to a shadier spot. |
- Posted by luvsdieter 6a (My Page) on Mon, Jun 29, 09 at 12:09
will do! The indoor guys in water are doing great - no wilting leaves and you can see the roots starting. Outdoor guys in seed starter - not so great, pretty wilty. But I'm keeping them well watered and in a shady spot. Crossing fingers!! |
Well even if they maybe don't have time for many of them to ripen, you will likely have lots of nice sized green ones at the end of the season to pick and ripen off the vine, or to fry, or to freeze for frying later. I'm way behind with my veggie garden this year, as I missed the one small window of time when it was dry enough to get it worked up and planted. Finally today I got the peppers and tomatoes planted. I'm looking forward to having tomatoes until well after the first light frosts. I figure one of these years, we are going to have a very late first fall hard frost and I'd be wishing I still had tomatoes going like gangbusters. Sue...chemocurl |

Just a quick update - both the indoor and the outdoor plants are doing great!! Moving the outdoor guy to a shadier spot really helped and it's doing really well now. The indoor guy also did great; he's been potted up and shipped over to BF's sister's house. They have a new baby and no time to start their own garden this year :) I have another indoor one started (about 3 feet tall!!) with tons and tons of roots. Got a pot and a space ready for it!! |
If the fruit from the plants are still green this fall, Get a box and wrap the green tomatoes in newspaper. Put the box under a bed or in a dark cabnet. You'll have fresh red tomatoes this winter. It's the way the old timers did it. |

Really?? Man, that is some dangerous knowledge to have. Does that impact the taste? |

I am obsessed with freckles, falling just short of dotting them on myself with tonal eyeliner every day (uh, not like I haven't entertained the idea, though), so naturally I am all sorts of delighted that they let Emma Watson keep hers on the August cover of Teen Vogue.

I picked this up at a fantastic estate sale at an old mansion in Westport, CT that was built around 1900. It's looks to be a hand hammered some sort of metal frame with a copper picture. I don't think the copper picture is hand hammered but I'm no expert.I can't find a mark anywhere. The frame was completely rusted and I just finished cleaning it up. Does anyone have a clue as to who made this? Seems dutch scenes were popular in some arts and crafts pictures as I have seen in my travels. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The type of work is called repousse, and it seems to have been very popular in the Netherlands a while back. I'd suspect the copper part IS hand-done and was done either in the Netherlands or by Dutch immigrants, which is a lot of work. On eBay, repousse items seems to bring pretty good prices... |

Twitter Goes Next Level
The last few NBA Finals were unique for me, completely different than any I had witnessed before. The game wasn't limited to the television. It was on my phone, on my computer, instant, fresh and funny. It actually made me feel bad for LeBron. No one in NBA history had to deal with that level of criticism: constant, unrelenting and immediate, from all sides. Of course, he didn't do much to help himself either, but that's beside the point.

Nobody would argue that WDW was starved and neglected under Iger. Now nearing his exit he is attempting to put golden band-aids on WDW in attempt powder puff his sad legacy. Trying to undo the madness of Hyperion, FLE without an E attraction, Future Worlds diminishing attendance, Epcots draw being Special Events, Studios dismantled, Disney Springs overhaul that nobody but Iger seemed to want and the meh attitude of fans towards Avatar Iger has a lot to hang his head about. Now,will the pricey My Experience/Magic Bands be the draw he claims it to be? Iger isn't about listening to what his customers want, he is alone in his head with his thoughts of they will like what I tell them they will like. It will bring profits. Oy.
But WDW isn't alone. It appears fans of Disney other than WDW have had enough of Iger's hurt. Profits taken at the expense of the Parks. By the looks, Paris fans seem to have found their voices too!
After reading these articles from this month, it occurred to me this will be Iger's legacy world wide, leaving the 90's in the dust for the decline of the 21st century.

Now other than silence wonder how Iger will shrug off the fans from across the pond.

Factory Glock presents the Tactical Light as a flexible system solution for practically all conceivable target illumination situations. In close cooperation with top-ranking Special Operations groups, factory Glock developed a set of tactical light modules based on modern microelectronics, which brings the well-known factory Glock advantages to the user: safety, reliability and situational superiority. Fitting the third generation factory Glock pistol frame (with finger grooves and accessory mounting rails), a new path of user ergonomics was created. Uncompromising ambidexterity and simple operation with a modern robust design.
With the new factory Glock Tactical Lights 10| 11, the revolutionary concept of the factory Glock Safe Actionpistol was logically continued. The user finds the most modern Xenon illumination technology shockproof by being embedded in high tech polymer. Maximum illumination continuity is achieved by the use of "smart" electronic components for optimal luminous efficiency. Ambidextrous operation (even with tactical gloves), adjustable focusing and rigid mounting on the pistol, make the GTLs the first choice for official and private users who want a decisive tactical advantage on their side when in critical low light situations.

Maria, writes:
I have a mild-moderate scoliosis with a moderate rotation to the right. This means that when laying down even on a flat floor, I feel as though I'm 'leaning' to the right. We were looking at a european pocketed coil bed with latex and felted wool, that felt very comfortable. However, I'm not sure if a bed which contours to my scoliosis is the right choice, simply because it seems it would be accenuating the curves/rotation that are already there. I notice you suggest firm beds for people with scoliosis. Is this because you have found they find them more comfortable, or does it have to do with this contouring element? Also, I find that body impressions combined with a rigid edge, really make me feel as if I'm leaning to the right. What kind of mattress does not have a real rigid edge? What should I be looking for here? Thanks.
Hi Maria. Most mattress manufacturers are agreed that a good edge support is important. This may actually work in your favor. It seems that all you need do is sleep on the other side of the mattress.
The recommendations you mentioned come from feedback from other scoliosis customers over the years. The underlying reason would be the lack of proper support from a contouring bed.
You might try folding a long towel and putting it under the mattress pad to even out the tendency to lean to one side.
The best of the innersprings is the Stearns & Foster. I would suggest staying away from a plush mattress. There are many firm and cushion firm models. But only you can determine which has the best feel for you.

Bowling: Ari Wilson beats tough competition for P-T title
By Anthony Nasella Post-Tribune correspondent January 12, 2014 9:14PM
Ari Wilson reacts after throwing a strike during the Post-Tribune Sport Shot Classic bowling tournament men's division final held at Stardust Bowl III in Dyer on Sunday January 12, 2014. | Charles Mitchell/for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 12, 2014 9:14PM
DYER — To reach the men's championship of Sunday's Post-Tribune Winter Sport Shot Classic, University Park's Ari Wilson had to defeat to some noteworthy opponents in a five-game span.
After winning in the first round, Wilson defeated a trio of Professional Bowlers Association members, starting with top qualifier Brian Valenta, then Kevin Kullman and three-time PBA National Champion Eugene McCune, before edging Kankakee's Gene Kanka 200-187 in the final.
The Calumet College student opened the championship game with four strikes, but was stopped in the fifth with a 1-2-10 washout that resulted in an open frame.
He bounced back with two more strikes before another split led to an open.
Kanak strung together four spares and an eight count to close out his game, forcing Wilson to mark in the 10th, which he did with a simple spare.
"I made the wrong adjustments in those two frames where I split," said Wilson, who generates a lot of ball speed and revolutions with a two-handed release. "I kept getting light hits, but I managed it and I'm obviously very happy with the end result.
"I don't think the whole feeling has hit me yet. I'm still in bowl mode because I have league (Sunday night) at Lakewood."
Against McCune, Wilson said he was just trying to make good shots.
"I call Eugene the King of Stardust," Wilson said. "Just keeping up with him was the plan. When he fell off, I just wanted to make sure I was making my shots."
For Kanak, he had an equally challenging road to the finals. He reached the quarterfinals by defeating sharpshooter and P-T Fall Sport Shot Classic winner John Riffle, advanced to the semifinals with a win over league teammate Tony Hubert, and reached the finals by defeating Darrell Gilbert Jr., in a 157-146 grinder game.
"In the championship match, I was hoping his open late would set me up," said Kanak, who was competing in his first P-T event. "If I was able to shoot well in the ninth and 10th, I could force his hand like I was able to against a couple of my opponents."
"But I left a flat ten pin in the ninth, and that pretty much sunk me."

[1202] Pathological Diagnosis of Grade in Primary Mucinous Ovarian Tumor
K Wakasa, T Wakasa, M Ohsawa. Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, Japan; Osaka Red Cross Hospital, Osaka, Japan
Background: Pathological diagnosis of the grade in mucinous tumors is often difficult, because malignant tumors often appear benign, and the judgment of invasion is often complicated. Furthermore, differentiation from the metastatic ovarian tumors is complex.
Design: We studied 196 cases of ovarian mucinous tumor surgically resected in our hospital. Of these 196, benign cases numbered 113, borderline 57, malignant 26. Intraoperative consultation was carried out in 155 of the 196 cases. We verified the accuracy of the pathological diagnoses of frozen sections from these 155 cases by a comparison with the final pathological diagnoses. In 13 borderline and 17 malignant tumors we carried out the immunohistochemical staining of cytokeratin 7 and 20.
Results: In 11 out of the 155 frozen sections of mucinous ovarian tumor, pathological diagnoses of frozen sections were underdiagnoses in comparison with the final pathological diagnoses. Nine out of 48 borderline mucinous tumors were diagnosed as benign, and 2 out of 18 malignant cases were diagnosed as borderline on intraoperative consultation. There was no case of overdiagnosis. The discordance rate was about 7%. In all 11 cases, the reason for the underdiagnoses was the absence of the most atypical area in the frozen sections. Two out of 30 borderline and malignant mucinous tumors were negative for cytokeratin 7. In one of the two cases, autopsy was performed, and no other primary site was demonstrated. In the other case, no other primary site was identified during a two-year follow-up. There was no metastatic tumor in the 57 cases of borderline tumor and 26 cases of malignant tumor. The results of immunohistochemistry for cytokeratin 20 were variable.
Conclusions: The pathological diagnosis of mucinous tumor is difficult because areas showing a variable degree of atypicality are present in the same tumor. Underdiagnosis in intraoperative consultation is inevitable because the number of specimens that can be examined is only one or two. There was no metastatic tumor in the 57 cases of borderline tumor and 26 cases of malignant tumor. Immunohistochemically, most of the ovarian tumors were positive for cytokeratin 7. Cytokeratin 20 was variable in the ovarian mucinous tumors.

Treadmill is an indoor machine which allows you to run on the spot for long distance at any time of day or night. Treadmill is a good choice to begin as a new exercise routine. The treadmill is a relatively easy piece equipment to use.
Advantages to use Treadmill
- With the help of a treadmill, you can ensure that you don't run too fast or too slow, while in outdoor running you gradually slow down when you get tired.
- Treadmills allow recovery run, this is a run conducted at a slow pace, after intense workout. These runs allow muscles to recover. Setting the pace on the machine helps your muscles recuperate before you start your workout again.
- It gives you an accurate measurement of your workout. Treadmill helps you to judge the pace & distance that you have run but a treadmill also offers complete control over distance that you run & the speed that wish to maintain making it easy to accurately measure the effectiveness of your workout.
- Treadmills come with built-in heart rate monitor allowing you to maintain a desired heart rate.
- Running on a treadmill generally burns calories faster than most other forms of home exercises, such as biking.
- Multiple users can use same equipment without adjusting stature.
- You can exercise on a treadmill while watching television which can help to keep the exercise interesting.
- All aspects can be controlled by user: speed, incline, warm up period, cool down period, etc.
- It provides limited kind of exercise-walking, running, so you might get bored after some time.
- On a treadmill, runner tends to lean forward less, causing wastage of energy.
- Treadmill gives similar benefits as free range running. But there are physical differences, includes lack of wind resistance, changing terrain, running on moving belt, bio-mechanical differences
- When running outside, on uneven surfaces it improves your pre perception ability- your to correct for the effect these types of surface have on muscles & position of your body parts & joints. This is also a very important part of workout.

Nov 7, 2011 1:06 PM by Dennis Bragg (KPAX/KAJ Media Center)
MADISON, WI- The group who wants a statue of Jesus removed from the summit of Big Mountain says it's being inundated with obscene, and even threatening hate mail because of its position.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation had convinced the Forest Service to revoke permits for the nearly 60-year old statue. But the issue erupted into a firestorm when Congressman Denny Rehberg called on the agency to reconsider.
That controversy has turned especially vicious online, both in posts to social media sites, and in the emails that have poured into the FFRF headquarters.
Foundation Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor says the hate mail is filled with both religious and physical threats.
"Well it's mostly obscene that can't be played on TV," observed Gaylor. "And I think, the one was that was most vicious said 'stay the hell out of Montana. If one of your members ever shows up here they will never leave. They will be planted with the statue.' I mean that's quite a threat. And how is that supposed to make free thinkers and people who believe in separation of church and state in Montana feel? You shouldn't feel unsafe because you support separation of church and state."
Other anonymous emails have threatened FFRF with damnation for their stance.
""your idiots!!!!!!!!! when the flames of hell are on you I hope you remember what got you there."
"Why do you think that a statue on a mountain in Montana has anything to do with establishing a religion . . . You are the vile underbelly of the earth."
"I'll try to pray for you and ask that The Lord will free you from satans' hands. Yes, he's REAL TOO!"
Many of the complaints accuse the group of meddling in Montana's affairs. But Gaylor says the statue is on federal, not state land.
"And this is a misunderstanding," says Gaylor. "This is federal property owned by everybody. Owned as much by someone in Wisconsin and New York as it is by someone in Montana. It's government property. It doesn't belong to individuals. It does not belong to a Roman Catholic men's club."
FFRF has asked U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell to overturn a local decision to take more public comment on revoking the permit. Gaylor says the group feels that's an "unfortunate" move that will only "inflame" people more.
"I think I would point out that this Jesus shrine is made of cement. It comes from a mold. There are literally probably tens of thousands of other statues of this ilk available, and on private property all around the country. It can be moved or it can be re-created with no harm," says Gaylor. "And it will ensure that there is no preferential treatment of religion by government or the appearance that people who believe in Jesus are somehow better Americans than those of us who don't."

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS: Unit Farm Jam 2013
February 24, 2013
Yep we here at bikeland.co.nz were super stoked to have had our master videographer Jake Munro and his crew down in Southland for the Unit Farm Jam.
The Unit Farm Jam has proven itself to be the number 1, Two Wheels Freeride event in NZ. If you like bikes (of any kind) and want to go to one of the most well run freeride events in the world, then you need to get to the next Farm Jam. This year loads of the world's top riders converged to Southland New Zealand to sample it at it's best.
Check out this super sweeeet EXCLUSIVE edit from our number one crew. For more of their work check out TVNZ's Airtime TV on Channel U on Mondays at 9.25pm (NZ's home for Action Sports).
And here is the official Press Release from the Red Bull team with photos thanks to Dave Coulson Photography
Over 2,000 eager spectators flocked to Frew Farm today to witness an almost unbelievable display of two-wheel madness. This year the weather co-operated and the true potential of this unique event was finally brought to life.
Riders from as far as Spain, Andreu Lecondeguy, and USA, Anthony Napolitan, joined forces with strong a contingent of Australian and local pros to create a BMX, freestyle mountain bike and FMX showdown like no other.
For this year's Farm Jam the Frew brothers stepped it up another notch. The BMX and freestyle mountain bike course was in top condition and with the long spell of fine weather; the jumps were running hard and fast.
The MotoX and FMX track has been intensively refurbished and it was obvious from the start of the first FMX practise session, this would be a day to remember. In the previous day's riding Matt Schubring (AUS) was a standout, with Nick Franklin fresh off the back off his Nitro Circus Live tour.
Schubring unfortunately pulled out due to injury, leaving the door open for Nick Franklin, who took first place on the FMX podium after back flipping almost every jump on the course.
"It was my first time flipping on dirt, so to flip three jumps in a row; I'm stoked!" commented Nick Franklin.
Not to be outdone by the 250cc's and the bigger 4-strokes, the pit bike crew took over the course to show it's not all about the size of your bike, but how you use it. These riders are a real crowd pleaser, providing plenty of thrills and spills. Pit bikes are all about fun and these guys definitely got their fair share. For the record, Jacob Scammell took out the title.
Next it was FMX boys to show what they were made of. The Farm Jam course mixes natural jumps carved from the hillside with standard FMX ramps. The result is a fantastic flowing course allowing riders to show off their individual style and lay down some technical tricks, mixed with MotoX inspired fast cornering and big airs.
After lunch the crowd moved as one towards the bike line and populated the banks with anticipation of the coming and most popular events; the freestyle mountain bike and BMX sessions. Both of these competitions see the riders in a relaxed jam format, judging each other.
This creates some great vibes and allows the competitors to push and encourage each other to new levels of riding. Stand outs of the freestyle mountain bike session where Lewis Jones and Conor MacFarlane but it was Andreu Lecondeguy (ESP) who took out the glory with some huge 360's flips and superman's.
By far the most popular and a true crowd favourite were without a doubt the BMX session. The jumps are set up so well, for so many combinations, that it is rare to see the same tricks repeat themselves.
The big set at the bottom of the course provided two back-to-back jumps, which provided the riders the chance to finish a run with some big tricks, stamping their mark on the competition.
Getting down to serious business was Kyle Baldock (AUS), who threw down front flips, back flip whips and a heart stopping double back flip. Luke Parslow (AUS) had a bag of tricks so deep, he made 3 huge runs without repeating a single trick.
Andreu Lecondeguy (ESP) who competed in his third event of the day, made a couple of nice turn-down back flips and some big 360's. Anthony Napolitan (USA), who also stepped it up a gear, nailing his infamous no-handed front flips, flip turndown to late turndown and double trucks; all with his usual clean powerful style.
The Bolter twins – Gorge and Louis (NZ), also impressed with Louis making front flips and 720's and George landing back-to-back 360's from top to bottom. The session was fittingly finished with all riders flowing down the course in a tight train.
With the session finished it was time to call in the votes and the overall winner was deservedly Kyle Baldock (AUS). "I'm super stoked on the whole event, everyone rode so well. I wish that everyone could stand on the podium with me," commented Kyle.
Farm Jam is a truly unique day in the action sports calendar of New Zealand and is a credit to the ongoing efforts of the Frew family to promote a multi disciplined event that attracts riders from around the globe.
BMX: 1 Kyle Baldock (AUS), 2 Luke Parslow (AUS), 3 Danny Campbell (AUS), 4 Anthony Napolitan (USA), 5 Ryan Lloyd AUS).
FMX: 1 Nick Franklin (NZ), 2 Tyrone Gilks (AUS), 3 Pat Bowden (AUS), 4 Callum Shaw (NZ), 5 Joel Brown (AUS).

Quoted from Bettycakes I've taken grapefruit seed extract in the past to fight colds and flu and it was soooooo very bitter, the only way I found to ingest it was with fruit juice, which I assume is forbidden on a anti-candida diet.
Quoted from jillthepilllady Another wonderful Candida combination for A's is Candicin by Genestra Brands. They are Manufactured in England for Seroyal International Inc (Toronto Canada). It contains Oregano Oil, Clove Oil, Wormwood Extract, Ginger Extract and Evening Primrose Oil in a 100% vegetable capsule, suitable for vegatarians, vegans and type A's. .
Quoted from pkarmeier Also, the KIND of calcium supplement you take makes a lot of difference.
Quoted from debs caroline i notice you mentioned you use flaxseed & flaxseed oil plus you have a sensitive tum.have you ever noticed a sensitive tum in conjunction with the oil? only i recall Dr D saying non's dont tolerate oil as well as secretors thats why we have less servings.However i too seem to notice digestive probs if i have too much oil (& even that isnt much) just a thought)
Quoted from gem77 What kind should I be taking? And I should take it with a meal, right?
Quoted from CarolineC Deb..Funny you bring that up. I haven't had any reaction to the oil, but I have to say its not doing all that much for the constipation. so, I added the flaxseed that I grind myself. Now thats a different story.. BLOAT badly. and I don't feel good after I eat it. so, not sure I will continue. Lola suggested senna tea, but I am a little afraid considering I have such a sensitive stomach. Frankly I am "going" more...but it is still rabbit pellets. I am really at my wits end on this.. To be totally honest with you, when I was taking Citrucel, I did much better, but it full of C**P. Caroline
Quoted from pkarmeier Maybe Melissa J will jump in here and help you, as she is a nonnie too. Good luck. Those rabbit pellets aren't much fun. My g'daughters have them alot. From all the junk they eat. Sugar, dairy, wheat, did I mention sugar and junk??? Just drives me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2014 KTM RC 200 — Contact Dealer for Pricing
2014 ›› KTM ›› Motorcycle ›› Sport ›› RC-200 ››
View Other Models:
Ext. Color:
Front Crash pads, Radial roadlok, Mounting for GPS bracket, Tank protection sticker, rear bag small 10-30L, Rear crash pads
Brand new clip on handlebars and switches are contributing to a a sporty and aggressive riding position combined with advanced control.
Visually similar to the lightweight and approved Duke steel trellis frame, the orange painted frame has been modified to better fit the supersport ergonomics and dynamics. The increase of the steering head angle to 66,5 degrees resulted in a shorter trail, shorter wheelbase and increasing ground clearance. All these modifications release the complete racing potential of the RC and guarantee a quick, agile and playful handling.
The state-of-the-art, liquid cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke 200ccm engine with twin overhead camshafts, four valves and electronic fuel injection, provides outstanding power and thanks to the balancer shaft, delivers the highest levels of smoothness. The engine is equipped with an electric starter powered by a 12V/6Ah battery and it achieves its peak power of 19 kW (25 hp) with incredibly punchy torque.
KTM developed in cooperation with Brembo a powerful and easy to control brake-system which allows the rider to be always in control of the RC. A four piston radially bolted caliper in combination with a single brake disk (300mm diameter) in the front and a single piston floating caliper with a single brake disk (230mm diameter) for the rear wheel guarantee excellent braking response even under extreme conditions.
In order to make no compromises in terms of supersport look the KTM engineers integrated the pillion seat into the bodywork lines so that it looks like a real racing bike tail, but ensuring excellent comfort for the passenger.
The brand new bodywork, footrests and pedals don't just provide a unique supersport look but also help the RC to master extreme cornering by allowaing a greater leaning angle.
Fitting perfectly into the pure racing look the number plate holder rounds KTM's high performance bike off.
Equally lightweight as they are stable, the 17in orange painted cast light alloy wheels sized 110 mm wide at the front and an impressive 150 mm at the rear. The tyres impress with tremendous grip in both wet and dry conditions, as well as providing supreme durability.
