Yes, something I sprayed cleaner on my rims and wiped off the dirt and something have gotten to place it was not suppose to on my rear wheels and now the brakes squeel when I hit them. Is this something a non mechanic type like me can lubricate...ie can I spray some lubricant in there and if so where? |
Follow-Up Postings:
What type of brakes do you have on the rears? Drum or rotor? If you have drum brakes, DO NOT spray any kind of lubricant inside the brake drums. For drum brakes, there are places for specialized lubricants in the mechanisms, but the drum has to be removed to see these. The contact surfaces of the shoes and drums must be kept free of oils, etc. These work best when clean and dry. The squeal you are experiencing may be due to contaminants on the rubbing surfaces of the shoes. Hopefully, this will subside with use. If these brakes are not grabbing, continue to use them. Semi-metallic shoes tend to squeal more than the older types. If you have rotor type brakes, are you sure you are not hearing a 'sqeaker' built into the shoe that indicates a worn down pad. (Not all pads have squeakers. The only sure way to to check for wear is to inspect the pad thickness. Some rotor brake designs have a provision for checking the pad without disassembly.) |

I have rear drums and front rotors. The sound may indeed be coming from the front. The car was recently inspected and passed. This started immediately after cleaning the rims. Maybe it is the front. Is there something to lube there? Maybe I pushed dirt somewhere it should not have gotten? Could it hurt to soap up the rim and then blast waster in there and around the brakes? |

Emirates Classic Car Festival was initially staged at Dubai Festival City and is now annually held on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, a spectacular boulevard that overlooks Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, in Downtown Dubai. Classic Car enthusiasts from across the UAE and the wider region take part in the event. The festival brings together an amazing collection of classic cars that also open doors to the history of evolution of the global automobile industry.
Since its inception, the Emirates Classic Car Festival has been supported by the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Community Development and the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE)
Since moving to a more central and larger venue in Downtown Dubai, described as 'The Centre of Now,' the festival continues to draw the support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Community Development; Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE); FIVA; Emaar Properties and various museums and classic car owners.
The Emirates Classic Car Festival is an unmissable opportunity to clap your peepers on some extremely rare and desirable pieces of automotive history. Organised by Emaar Properties PJSC, the UAE Ministry of Culture, Youth & Community Development, and the Automobile Touring Club of the United Arab Emirates (ATCUAE), the Emirates Classic Car Festival is held in Downtown Dubai annually.
The 5th Edition of the Emirates Classic Car Festival took place from the 7th – 9th March 2013 at Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard Downtown Dubai and was extended for the first time ever for 2 additional days due to the high public demand.
Over 200 Classic Cars and 10 motorcycles were showcased during the show. Furthermore, no fewer than 16 awards were delivered including the vote of the public. Some of the highlights of the fifth edition include Bentleys from the 1920s, which participated in the Blue Train Race between London and Nice, and a 1980 Delorean DMC-12, famous for its cult role in " Back to the Future", an amazing Hollywood movie.
A featured event the Dubai calendar, the fourth edition of the Emirates Classic Car Festival was held from Dec. 1 to 3, 2011, at Downtown Dubai. The festival also complemented the UAE National Day celebrations.
Consolidating its position as one of the popular lifestyle gatherings in the UAE, the venue sported a fair-like ambience featuring food & beverage stalls. The colourful parades, a must-see attraction of the Emirates Classic Car Festival, drew in record crowds.
In 2011, the festival also featured – for the first time – classic motorbikes. Ardent classic car collectors including the Al Attar Family, Al Serkal family, Al Fahim Family, Baker Family and Mr. Tariq Al Qamzi showcased their collections. Competitions were held in 14 categories including a public poll.
Further building on the excitement generated at the February edition of the festival, a second event was held to mark the UAE National Day celebrations. Held from December 2 to 4, 2010, the event featured a spectacular line-up of classic cars from passionate collectors, and was organised by Emaar in collaboration with the Automobile & Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE) and with the support of Ministry of Culture, Youth & Community Development.
Hundreds of classic cars from different eras and of varying models lined up at specially erected pavilions on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.
Colourful parades of the classic cars as well as keenly contested competitions for a range of prizes added to the excitement. Several private collectors showcased their exclusive collections – some on public display for the first time ever.
Competitions were held for the 'best car' in 14 categories including a Public Choice Award voted by the public.
The event was a resounding success with several thousand visitors attending the festival.
The rich heritage and colourful legacy of classic cars was once again on display at the next edition of the Classic Car Show, this time, under the name 'Downtown Dubai Classic Car Show.' Held from February 18 to 21, the festival provided further colours and excitement to the city, already bustling with the Dubai Shopping Festival 2010.
Taking visitors through the history of how modern-day cars evolved, and highlighting awe-inspiring car creations that blend functionality with elegance, the car show was held on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.
The event, once again, organized by Emaar with the support of the Automobile & Touring Club of the United Arab Emirates (ATCUAE), the Downtown Dubai Classic Car Show featured several showpiece vehicles from the past.
Several private collectors including rally legend Mr Mohammed Ben Sulayem, Vice President of the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile FIA and President of ATCUAE; Sharjah Museum and others displayed their cars. Car collectors from the GCC region and abroad also took part.
The participants took the cars on rides through Emaar Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard and the Downtown Dubai community at the colourful parades held every day. A detailed description of the cars' characteristics and ownership lineage was displayed to inform and educate visitors. Competitions for the 'best car' in eight categories were held, including a Public Choice Award voted by the public. Eminent classic car experts scored the cars on the basis of car originality, engine cleanliness, original car colour, historical car value, finishing and aesthetics.
Held on February 27 and 28, 2009, at the brand new venue in Downtown Dubai, the Emirates Classic Car Festival was billed as one of the most competitive events of its kind in the region.
Classic and elegant, evolutionary and functional, the participating vehicles were displayed with a detailed description of their characteristics. A number of classic cars were also displayed at the Grand Atrium of The Dubai Mall.
A jury of experienced classic car experts scored each car on the basis of parameters including car originality, engine cleanliness, original car colour, historical car value, finishing and aesthetics in both categories, while the public also had the opportunity to judge the cars and decide their favourite vehicles through a 'Popular Choice' contest.
Referred to as the Burj Dubai Classic Car Show in its past edition, the event displayed classic vehicles from the private collection of the rally legend Mr Mohammed Bin Sulayem, Vice President of Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) for Sport and President of ATCUAE
Other participants have included the El Serkal Family, Baker Family and Al Atar family, who are passionate car collectors, and Sharjah Museum as well as individual and private collectors.
One of the rare vehicles to be displayed at the show was the 1952 Jaguar XK120, the first British Post World War II car to achieve 120 miles per hour. It was considered as the 'supercar of its day' which has since then competed in world classic car rallies such as 'Milano San Remo Cup,' 'The Jewel That is Jordan,' 'London to Brighton,' and 'Liege Rome Liege.'

We had both our main bathroom and our 2 pc. bathroom done a year and a half ago. Our contractor really loves to build things so he custom made our cabinets for both bathrooms. He also made our medicine cabinet with a mirror in it. We love it. We had ceramic tile put down. We didn't replace the bathtub or surround as it was still okay. The only thing was I wish was different is that the sink and counter is white. I am not a decorator at all and don't really know what goes and what doesn't so when he said to go with white because the toilet was white I did. If I had the counter top done again it would be in a colour that goes with the rest of the bathroom not the toilet.

If you have an attic or unused space above the bathroom, have the bathroom fan motor there, with a duct (right term? vent?) to the bathroom. That way the noise from the motor is diminished by the distance. Much quieter! We barely hear ours when it's on, but the power is the same.
ETA: We also have timer switches for ours -- 5, 10 and 30 mins -- so we can set the fan and leave. They are the touch plates (again, don't know the right term) and don't take up much space. |

Have done 2 bathroom redos.
Upstairs bath...we added this after we bought the house. Has a bubble tub, an oversize shower stall, a sink in a vanity a toilet and a storage cabinet over the toilet. Exhaust fan in the ceiling that is worked by a switch so you have to remember to turn it on and off. Heat for the room is radiant floor heat which I HIGHLY recommend....no more freezing cold bathroom tiles. We also have an extra hot air blower installed recessed into the wall for the winter time when it is VERY cold you turn it on when you go into the bathroom and by the time you are ready to get out of the shower and do your hair etc the bathroom is toasty. The vanity, front wall of the tub surround and over the toilet cabinet are a natural birch, so a light wood. Mirror over the vanity is framed in the same wood. The vanity top is Swanstone...it's white with some speckles of black and gray. Shower walls are Swanstone plain white as is shower floor. I like the Swanstone for the shower because it is smooth...no grout lines like with tile to get all moldy. Shoer has a frameless glass surround which I don't have a hard time keeping clean so I must not have hard minerally water. Bubble tub is white and the "deck" around the tub is tile which is the same tile that is on the floor. The tile that is on the walls is the same tile that is on the floor but smaller squares...I think the floor and tub deck are 12" square tiles and the walls are 4" square tiles. Tile is a tumbled marble look (although it is not tumbled marbled but it has some texture to it...not super smooth and shiny). Wall tile goes 1/2 way up the walls. Fixtures are brushed nickel. Walls are painted lilc, valance is shades of lilac, dark purple, light green and dark green floral. Towels are shades of purples and greens. Downstairs bath...main level of the house. Used to have a regular tub with shower. We took out the tub and made it a huge shower, thinking that if something happened and my elderly parents had to live iwth us, or even when we get elderly ourselves, that a big shower that could hold a shower chair might be a good idea. Shower is all Swanstone, same as the upstairs bath. Floor and wall tiles are the same as we used upstairs....we liked them decent quality, good price and neutral. Semi-frameless shower door. White toilet and sink. Vanity is the natural birch but the doors have a waniscoting look instead of being smoooth. Mirror pver the vanity is framed in the same birch wood. Vanity top is the same as upstairs....speckled Swanstone white with the flecks. Walls are yellow. There is a bumblebee theme in this bathroom so I found a cute bumble bee valance and some cute bumblebee wall art, bumblebee towels. Shiny chrome fixtures and an exhaust fan in the ceiling. No need for radiant floor heat because it has a radiator that throws a TON of heat. Essentially the "permanent" things in my bathrooms (tubs, toilets, wood, tiles) are neutral and the non-permamnet things (wall color, towels, curtains, decorative items) are how I bring the color in. The beauty of both my bathrooms is that when I get sick of having a purple or a yellow bathroom, I paint the walls, buy some new towels, curtains and knick knacks and poof! A brand new bathroom.

We've done two remodels in that past 3 years. First was the master bathroom and we had to add a 2 story addition onto the house for that. If you want to see pics of that, you can see it here on my blog: http://mattkieslingsblog-o-rama.blogspot.com/
We also redid the bathroom for our 2 DD's. Originally it was the only full bathroom in the house. Here are pics: This was just into the renovation (note the nice 50's yellow tile, sink and toilet): This was the nice CAST IRON tub that matched the sink and toilet. Wouldn't fit out the door so we had to break it up. What a @*$^&!! Here are some of the after (Note that there are some reflections and spots on the pictures, not in the bathroom itself):
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, bacon in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!"

Split stay planned WWYD
OK, first off thanks to all my friends who helped me save 330.00 today by informing me of the Visa deal :cool1:. Here is my new dilemma and I need some guidance. We (hubby, myself, 6y dd and 4y son) are going to Disney April 12-20th and the dates are not flexible. We are currently booked for the first 3 nights at the AOA in a mermaid room. On the 15th we make the switch over to POR in the Royal Rooms. With the 25% discount our room over at POR is only 20.00 more than AOA. So now I am pondering just spending the week over at POR and skip AOA since they didn't offer the discount on the mermaid rooms but they did on the RR. Would you make the switch or keep your reservation the same...Will my kids like AOA vs POR or vice versa... Need advice. Thanks!
Personally, I would book POR the whole time. The royal rooms would be very magical, and let's be honest (and I have to remind myself of this)....but, your kids need to just be happy that they get to go to Disney....plus, at POR, they'll get a pool slide...you'll have bigger beds.... So, clearly my vote would be to do the whole time at POR, but I am not a huge fan of the split stay idea unless out of necessity. |
For an 8 night trip, my preference would be to stay in one place the entire time. But with that said, if you think your kids would like AoA, I would keep the split. Good luck.

@chrislittmannNike released its newest Hyper Elite Platinum college basketball today.
Nine teams were chosen for the new, grey, uniforms, including Syracuse, Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, UConn (men's and women's), Florida, Arizona, and Baylor (women's). These nine teams have all won national championships wearing Nike gear, according to a press release.
From the Nike press release:
Nike created the uniforms specifically for superior performance and lower environmental impact. The fabric of the Nike Hyper Elite Platinum shorts are made from 100 percent recycled polyester while the jersey fabric is made from at least 96% recycled polyester. Both short and jersey are tailored for the optimal efficiency of movement and are five percent lighter than the previous Nike Hyper Elite uniform.
Schools will start wearing the uniforms as early as this weekend. There is a mixed reaction from fans, some love their school's new look, while others complain it doesn't accent their school's colors enough. We think they are hideous.
A lot of grey.

Jan Brewer, Arizona's possible new governor, said Friday she is open to raising taxes as a way of balancing the state budget.
Brewer is the Republican secretary of state in line to be governor if Gov. Janet Napolitano becomes secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security when Barack Obama becomes president.
Brewer could inherit a deficit she said she believes is due to years of the state increasing its spending faster than inflation and faster than tax collections were growing.
And she suggested much of the blame is due to Napolitano, though, she did not mention the incumbent by name.
"We have grown Arizona's government well over 60 percent in six years," Brewer said, the period of time the Democrat has been governor.
And Brewer said the rate of spending increases has not significantly decreased, even as tax collections began to shrink. Instead, she said, the budgets were balanced with "accounting tricks and debt rather than true fiscal reform."
The budgets pushed by Napolitano - and adopted by lawmakers - the past two years have been balanced by borrowing for school construction rather than paying cash. And the budgets also have been "balanced" through various accounting techniques, like putting off payments due to schools until the following fiscal year.
"When you have followed that course you are destined to find that what you are doing is simply not sustainable," Brewer said.
Napolitano press aide Shilo Mitchell brushed aside Brewer's comments about the state's spending and the methods used to balance the books. "We respectfully don't agree," she said.
Arizona faces a $1.2 billion gap between anticipated revenue and expenses for the current budget year. And preliminary estimates put the deficit for next fiscal year in the $2 billion range.
Brewer acknowledged the recession has been the cause of at least some of the state's fiscal woes.
"We're all very much aware that when the economy gets bad, our (social) programs have more people needing them," she said. "It's a perfect storm, a storm that I believe most of those in this room have never experienced."
Despite her criticism of borrowing, Brewer said she has no answer yet for how she intends to balance the budget. And that, she said, means everything has to be on the table.
"Raising taxes, of course, is an option," she said. "I don't know what that is going to take."
That statement surprised Sen. Jack Harper, R-Surprise, who listened to the news conference.
He said the only way the Republican-controlled Legislature might consider increasing any taxes is if it boosts sales taxes while also cutting income taxes. Harper said that would reduce the burden on business and potentially create more jobs.
Brewer's statement about the possibility of taxes puts her in sharp contrast to Napolitano who, even before being nominated to head Homeland Security, repeatedly said she does not consider that an option.
Part of the issue is simply a bow to reality: The Arizona Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature for any measure that increases state revenue. The only other possibility is to take the question directly to voters.
Brewer said one reason for her willingness to consider all options - including taxes - while Napolitano has not could be because the incumbent has more details about the budget than she does.
"I'm kind of the new kid on the block," Brewer said. She added she wants her transition team to go through the state's finances before she comes up with a specific plan.
"I'm not going to stand up here today and tell you what I'm going to do," she said. She noted that she doesn't get to decide the issue unilaterally but has to work with the Legislature.
Brewer stressed, though, she was not suggesting higher taxes are the best way to balance the budget.
"I certainly don't have a record of being a taxer," said Brewer, who served as a state legislator for 14 years after six years as a Maricopa County supervisor.

As some of you may remember I pugged my Hong Kong Orchid tree this spring. It responded vigorously. Here is what it looked like last week:
It was growing very rapidly and was about 15' tall. Well, today, nature decided to pug it for me again. Here is what it looked like when I came home from work today (that tall bare stick is the support pole):
So here's my question - what to do now? I want this to grow into a large avenue tree, so I need to induce it to send up a new sprout to be trained into the central leader. Obviously I need to make a clean cut. But should I prune off the remaining branches so all energy will be channeled into growing new shoots? Or should I leave the branches to give the tree some energy and see what it does? If I don't take off the branches, I'm worried they will do all the growing and I won't get a good bud candidate for a central leader. But if I do take off the branches, will I deprive the tree of too much energy? I'm leaning toward taking off the branches since the tree responded ok to that earlier in the year...but I can't decide tonight. Puglvr, any advice? You are the pugging genius after all=) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd probably leave the side branches and just snip off the top inch or two of the central leader to remove the broken wood. I'm not too familiar with hong kong orchid tree growth patterns, but the tree should pretty quickly send up a sprout at the top since now it will be receiving lots of sun. Normally the side branches are what helps to thicken the trunk when the tree is young, so it could be a bad idea to chop those (see Gilman's Illustrated Guide to Pruning). If it became an issue, I might just bend the side branches down with rocks or something. As far as depriving the tree of energy goes, you could snip the darn thing down to the ground and it would resprout like nothing happened... :-) Jeff |

Thanks Jeff for the book recommendation, I have not read this one. I hadn't heard before that side branches help thicken the trunk. How do they do that? The Hong Kong Orchid send out shoots only at leaf axils, and all the axils near the top of the remaining trunk already have branches growing. So if I don't remove any branches I don't think any new shoots will develop at the top. It will be more like when you top a peach tree to form an open center tree - the growth will be directed entirely to the existing top branches. So I wonder if the right thing to do is to remove the top two branches on the left side and the bottom branch on the right side. That will leave two nicely placed branches and then the places where the branches are removed should be stimulated to send out secondary buds. What do you think? |
That's what Gilman states in his book - that the branches thicken the trunk and that it's a bad idea to remove them until the tree is older. Another option is to take the top most branch and bend it skywards to make it vertical and train it to be the new central leader. Jeff |
- Posted by sun_worshiper FL 9b (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 13:13
I suspect the branches have hardened off too much already to be bent into the leader. But there's nothing to lose from testing that. I'll see how willingly they bend when I get home tonight. |
OK. Also, if you cut the top most branch back to the central leader, it should resprout from that point. Jeff |

I pruned it today. The way the tear was where it broke, made it so I had to cut the main trunk back to below the top two branches in the picture above to get a good clean cut. I then trimmed off the branch that is third from the top, hoping that its node will send out a new central leader candidate. And then I left the bottom two branches on. I figure I'll give a couple weeks, and if it hasn't sent out any new sprouts, I'll take off the remaining branches to make sure I get a good central leader sprout. Thanks for the advice Jeff! |

Russian Government Edits Wikipedia On Flight MH17
Re:I don't see the problem. (667 comments)
The plane was 10km up. It wasn't shot down by something bought for $50,000 from Bob's Quality Used Implements of Death and Destruction and delivered to you by a courier van. The suspected weapon system requires at minimum one tank sized tracked launcher vehicle, and for full capability it requires three such vehicles. This is way out of Bob the arms dealer's league. Although I'm pretty much guessing here, the missile alone I expect would cost over a million dollars to manufacture.
You mean something like http://www.mortarinvestments.e...

What will be the 4th title in DC's "The new 52" Wave 4?
By t84nightfall 0 Comments
So, I'm sure with this new release of Threshold (a spinoff of Green Lantern: New Guardians Annual one) we are all speculating what the other titles will be. Well, obviously, revealed last month, we have: Justice League of America, (showcasing Catwoman, Martian Manhunter, and the new Green Lantern, just to name a few) and recently at New York Comic Con, we got word of a new Superman title yet to be revealed, heading Scott Snyder (Batman, Swamp Thing) and Jim Lee ( Justice League, All Star Batman and Robin).
So, now what I am wondering, with these three titles now revealed, what do you guys speculate to be the last one? Feel free to post your opinions on these books in the comments. Also, what book/character do you want to see, what would you have rather cancelled instead of Grifter, Blue Beetle, Legion Lost, and Frankenstein: Agent of Shade?

Documenting my budget build of a 2006 Enduro Elite. I am fairly new to the mountain bike scene and upgrading from a 2010 Hardrock disc to an as inexpenisve as possible Enduro Elite.
Ill keep this up to date on my progress and any help or suggsetions would be great!
Started out picking up a used frame from ebay.
Seller claimed it had some rear triangle damage and I was hoping he was a bike snob and they would be minor and ridable or repairable at least. Took a chance.
Unfortunalty it is as bad as described. Probably repairable but Im not sure what Im going to do on that. Leaning to replacing the rear altogether.
As for parts....
Im planning to source several parts from my Hardrock and then find deals on others.
Fist purchase was the rear shock. 2007 never used Fox Float RP3.
Second purchase: Used set of Avid Juicy 7s from online. (wheels and rotors will come from Hardrock)
Third Purchase: New, but from a private owner, Race face double crankeset with bash and bottom bracket.
Jenson order arrived!!! Nothing very top of the line but its getting exciting and close!!!
Rear triangle finally installed. Rear pivot (near the drop outs) bearings were the biggest nightmare ever. After about 4 hours and 2 trips to LBS got 3 new ones and 1 used one installed. Fork installed, that took only a few minutes.

Greetings. This may have been beaten into the ground, but I did not find any results that were definite. I am assuming I will have to call LE in my area, but thought I would ask here as well.
I currently have Federal HS 124gr loaded in 9mm for home defense. I was looking into the Federal HST load. I haven't gotten my license back from the state just yet, but as far as having this ammo as a defense round in general, what is the LE only factor of this round?
I have not seen it mentioned that it is LE only ammo, but some may know different. Thank you for you replies.

Swiss voters say no to yet more referendums
Swiss voters decided on Sunday that they have enough democracy already, overwhelmingly rejecting a proposal to hold more referendums on international treaties.
The Associated Press
Swiss voters decided on Sunday that they have enough democracy already, overwhelmingly rejecting a proposal to hold more referendums on international treaties.
A nationalist group in the already referendum-happy Alpine republic wanted voters to have an automatic say every time their government signs an important international agreement.
However, not one of the country's 26 cantons, or states, voted in favor of more referendums in Sunday's referendum, and 75.2 percent of voters rejected the plan. Such proposals need a majority of both voters and cantons to pass.
Most major parties opposed the measure, saying it could gridlock Swiss democracy with constant ballot calls - as one pre-vote poster put it, "too much democracy kills democracy." Switzerland already holds about half a dozen national referendums each year as well as local ones.
The Action for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland group, which made the proposal, said it wanted referendums whenever Switzerland submits to a foreign law or court - particularly if it involves the European Union. Switzerland does not belong to the 27-nation bloc but is surrounded by it.
The right-wing Swiss People's Party, the only major party backing the plan, said Sunday's rejection "was predictable given the opponents' massive campaign of fear."
As things stand, all it takes is 50,000 signatures to force a national vote on a new law or treaty in Switzerland, a country of more than 7 million people. The bar is higher - 100,000 signatures - if grassroots groups want to propose completely new legislation, but such measures also are voted on frequently and sometimes succeed.
Turnout in Swiss referendums rarely exceeds 40 percent. On Sunday, it was 37.8 percent.

"For those who have the sugar free packets, pour the packet into a jar with a lid and add the 1 cup sugar that Kool-Aid recommends, then shake it up. Use 1/2 cup of the combination for this recipe, and save the other 1/2 for another batch later. This is great for helping kids get fevers down! Cools down the body."

The Seventeen Trainer brought to you by Exercise TV.
Hi, I'm Jenna Phillips from The Seventeen Trainer brought to you by Exercise TV, and this is my introduction to yoga workouts. This will really help you to kind of ease in to the whole practice of yoga; really simple stretching exercises and stretches to get you comfortable with doing that stuff. First thing you're gonna do is just breathe. Sit, inhale, and exhale. Legs are crossed. Relax. Keep your shoulders down. One more breath and exhale. First thing you're gonna do right after you breathe a little bit, figure 4 stretch. You're gonna cross one foot over your thigh. I call this the figure 4 stretch, so, it kinda looks like a 4. You're gonna reach in front, grab your foot, and breathe. Pull your stomach in, inhale, and exhale. You're gonna hold that for about 10 seconds on that side and repeat the same thing on the other side. Right here, shoulders away from your ears, figure 4 stretch, inhale, and exhale; 10 seconds on each side, ladies. Next thing you're gonna do, keeping your legs straight out in front, sit tall, drop your shoulders. This is a forward bend. Arms up over your head, exhale, grab your heels. And if you can't quite grab your heels yet, totally okay; you will get there. If you grab on to your ankles, you're still using the same exact muscles that you need to get deeper in the stretch. Shoulders away from your ears and hold it forward. And if you wanna challenge yourself, grab your heels. The last stretch you're gonna do is warrior pose. Come to standing, hands in your hips, breathe. Right here, lunge forward, bend your legs, arms above your head. This is warrior 1. Back leg is straight, front leg is bent 90 degrees. Come right into warrior 2. Front leg is still bent. Your body is facing forward. Arms are totally level with your shoulders. Same thing, other side; hands on your hips. Other foot comes forward. Get low. Arms above your head; make that back leg straight. Front leg is bent. Going into warrior 2, but after warrior 1, pull your stomach in, drop your shoulders, and get low, and hold it. Hold this for 10 seconds each side. Very good work, girls. Thank you so much. I'm Jenna Phillips from The Seventeen Trainer brought to you by Exercise TV. I'll see you girls at the next workout.

National Red Bull Flugtag Homemade Flying Competition Makes Countrywide Splash With Five Events In One Day
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking off in Washington, D.C. and landing in Long Beach, Calif., with layovers in Miami, Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth, National Red Bull Flugtag, the homemade flying craft competition, made history today by taking place in five cities in one day. Adding to the already-extraordinary day, the The Chicken Whisperers, a team of aerospace and mechanical engineers from Palo Alto, Calif., proved that chickens can indeed fly, soaring a staggering 258 feet and shattering the old world record, set in Germany in 2012, by 29 feet.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130922/LA84133 )
"I was lucky to catch a nice wind after takeoff and I was able to steer the craft, using grip-controlled rudders in the back of the structure, to go even further," said The Chicken Whisperers' pilot, Laura Shane.
As an event taking place for 12 years worldwide, never before has one country taken on the challenge of putting on five Red Bull Flugtags on one day. The feat was accomplished today as more than 366,000 spectators celebrated the last day of summer and packed the shores of five of America's most iconic cities making Red Bull Flugtag truly a national day for people to get with friends, build their own flying machines and take to the skies.
Red Bull Flugtag, "flying day" in German, is a competition that dares both the brave and brainy to design, build and pilot homemade flying machines off a 30-foot-high "flight deck" in front of tens of thousands of spectators. No ordinary flying competition, teams are not only judged on distance but also creativity and showmanship making the event equal parts inventive, inspiring, hilarious and all-around wacky.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

A Postsecondary Revival: The Importance of Religiosity for Postsecondary Enrollment GrowthNeil R. MeredithWest Texas A&M University; American Economic Association David B. MustardUniversity of Georgia - C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry College of Business - Department of Economics; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA); University of Georgia Law School July 20, 2009 Abstract: Using institutional and state-level data from the National Center for Education Statistics, we explore the degree to which enrollment grows from 1991 to 2005 in religiously affiliated post-secondary institutions relative to their counterparts. After controlling for institutional characteristics, we find that enrollment in religiously affiliated colleges and universities grows 25, 21, and 10 percent more for whites, blacks, and Hispanics, respectively, than institutions that have no religious affiliation. Because simply having a religious affiliation can have little or no bearing on an institution's policies and mission, we evaluate whether the intensity of an institution's attachment also affects enrollment gains. Enrollment gains in institutions in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), for whom Protestant faith is a direct determinant of institutional mission, are significant. For example, after controlling for other factors total enrollment grows 14.5 percent, white enrollment grows 12.1 percent, black enrollment grows 35.5 percent and Hispanic enrollment grows by 22.8 percent relative to their Protestant peers.

One of the more impressive things about LeBron James is his ability to silence critics. Throughout his career, analysts and fans have noted things that James could not or would not be able to do, only for the reigning MVP to prove them wrong or make such statements look like an increasingly embarrassing attempt to grasp at straws. LeBron is just that good, according to Yahoo Sports.
On Monday night, James set a career-high and Miami Heat franchise-high by scoring 61 points against the Charlotte Bobcats. The game has been the source of much discussion already, reigniting the MVP race with Kevin Durant and raising more questions about LeBron's place in NBA history.
You would think that no one would find any problem with this performance. However, NBA legend Dominique Wilkins thinks we're all overrating LeBron's line, Yahoo Sports reports.

January 12, 2005
The Scottsdale Police Department has begun reducing the amount of blood, drugs and firearms held as evidence in its storage facilities, Chief Alan Rodbell said Tuesday.
The efforts come in response to a city audit, released in December, that found systemic failures within management of the police department's evidence property room and off-site storage lockers.
Some items had been held years after the cases they were associated with closed. In addition, the department was renting storage lockers that were not secured that exposed evidence to extreme heat in the summer, according to internal police department inspections and City Auditor Cheryl Barcala's report.
Rodbell presented the audit committee, which is composed of three City Council members, with an update Tuesday of what the department is doing to complete a 29-point list of evidence-handling reforms.
Since July, more than 4,000 pieces of drug evidence have been burned and 218 weapons have been marked for disposal, Rodbell said. The department's backlog of blood samples also has been destroyed.
While property room employees have identified weapons to destroy, they are waiting for the council to alter city code, Rodbell said. The code does not clearly designate how or when weapons should be disposed.
The audit report identified 2,300 firearms in storage.
In all, Barcala said she estimated the department is storing 120,000 pieces of evidence, many of which can legally be destroyed.
Each year, Scottsdale police collect about 2,000 pieces of evidence, said Steve Garrett, crime laboratory manager. On average the department disposes of or releases about half of the items it takes in.
A bar code system is being implemented that will create a database of all items in storage, Rodbell said.
Police officials are working with City Manager Jan Dolan to propose changes to the city code that will dictate how long evidence and other property should be stored.
A chicken-and-egg dispute arose between committee members as Councilman Wayne Ecton argued the City Council to refrain from altering the city code until the department institutes its own reforms.
"I don't think we should be telling you to do this one way or another," Ecton said. "We're not here to run the police department."
Councilmen Bob Littlefield and Jim Lane argued the other way, saying the department should base its procedures on the council's changes to city code.
Dolan said she was concerned a code could paint the department into a corner, with policies it could not maintain.

Let's Admit It: The US Is at War in Yemen, Too
- |
- 4:00 am |
- Permalink
Undeclared wars are dangerous wars. Questions about goals and resources can go unanswered, when there's no need to convince the people or the Congress of their merits. No one knows how undeclared wars end, or even when they're won, because no one measures the progress of wars fought in the shadows. The only way they end is when the US decides to simply walk away — as with the 80s-era shadow war the US helped wage in Afghanistan. Looked like a great success for a decade; not so much on 9/11.
Of course, missions can drift and resources can vanish in a declared war; just look at Iraq. But when a fight is kept in the shadows by design, the chances for shenanigans and miscalculations rise. At least we have some sense of when and where resources were misspent in our open war in Afghanistan of today; in our secret campaign in Pakistan, there's almost none.
The president doesn't need to address a joint session of Congress every time he dispatches a warship or a handful of military advisers, naturally. But this fight in Yemen isn't a disconnected, sporadic series of strikes. It's wide-ranging and it's multi-pronged. It's costing lives while building up the ranks of our enemies. It's war. And it's time our Commander in Chief came out and said it.
If this war is worth waging, it's worth waging openly. And it's worth having a strategy with a clearly defined, achievable goal. Does anyone know what that is in Yemen? Is it the end of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula? The containment of AQAP? A functional Yemeni government that can fight AQAP without U.S. aid? We've gotten so used to fighting in the shadows for so long, we barely even ask our leadership what victory looks like.

Friday Morning Devotion
Check out Maria Pope's devotion
Earlier this morning we had our group devotion time, in the mornings we gather over hot tea to discuss the Bible and ready ourselves for the days ahead. This morning we read Galatians 5, and added repentance into our previous conversations over grace and mercy. We were reminded that our salvation does not depend on anything we have done but solely on Christ. If we try to base our salvation on our own ability to repent for every sin we have committed we would have already failed and lost our salvation. Yet, Christ has already atoned for these sins and we are able to be saved through his act of sacrifice not our action or inaction.

The city of Runaway Bay has its budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

cmDance builds healthy, thriving communities through world-class arts education programs that bring the global culture of social dancing to Colorado youth and adults.
cmDance, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, cultivates the next generation of Colorado artists through world-class educational programs that bring the global culture of social dancing to local youth and adults.
We specialize in sharing vintage dance traditions, inviting community members to experience styles such as Swing, Argentine Tango, and Cueca. Our professional dance instructors and guest teachers reach a diverse population of youth through vital arts programming in public schools across the greater Denver area. We also host dance and music festivals where world-champion artists educate, entertain, and inspire audiences of all ages.
These rich cultural experiences build and strengthen the community, compelling those involved to connect, express, and transform through the power of dance.
In 1999, Community-Minded Dance founder and executive director Caryn Carrasco found herself enveloped in the cultural revival of American swing music and dance. Frankie Manning and Norma Miller, swing dancing legends from Harlem's Savoy Ballroom, traveled to cities around the world, bringing the spirit and movement of America's roots to a new generation. Inspired by this global community, Caryn enlisted a team to establish CM Dance as Denver's first and only organization responsible for world-class social dance education and arts programming.As the staff invited swing, and later Argentine tango, dance instructors to teach eager beginners at workshops in Colorado, they witnessed the transformation of a community. Through expressing the music and communicating with a partner, class participants experienced illuminating personal breakthroughs. New dancers built courage, self-esteem, and teamwork skills by taking emotional, physical, and artistic risks.
Soon after, cmDance expanded its programs to bring the life-changing impact of dance education to youth in Colorado. Jan Justice, a workshop dancer and teacher at Grandview High School, invited Caryn to serve on the board of the Colorado Dance Alliance and to place world-renowned dance instructors in classrooms at Grandview and Smoky Hills high schools. In 2007, cmDance secured 501c3 status and began to respond to the high demand from school administrators for our programming. In 2010 cmDance partnered with Denver Mayor's Office of Children's Affairs and Denver Great Kids Head Start (DGKHS) to develop a program that would introduce dance and movement into Head Start classrooms. Our unique intervention supports state early learning standards and offers enrolled children and Head Start staff the opportunity to make movement and the acquisition of fine and gross motor skills inviting and fun for the children.
cmDance holds a prominent position in the Colorado arts scene with both its school outreach and broader community engagement. cmDance hosts 3 annual nationally recognized dance events, and 100% of the funds from those events support our youth programs. Through our partnership with Denver Arts and Venues, established in 2011, we also bring the joy and global culture of dance to Colorado residents through flash mobs and performances at Denver's Biennial of the Americas.
