Comments about Bob Yak 28 Plus Trailer:
After jealously watching my brother tow all kinds of gear on several adventure tours over the past couple years, I gave in and purchased my own BOB Yak 28.
Two tours (on and off-road) and many trips to the grocery and hardware stores later, I am more than impressed. The week after I purchased it, it was dragged behind me on the Kokopelli Trail. It performed rather well, except for the narrowest, windiest single track, where it would occasionally scrape rocks or bushes after my bike and I had cleared them. Hike-a-bike is also more difficult when loaded, but the option to disconnect and haul trailer and bike separately makes the experience comparable to, if not easier than using racks and panniers front and back.
On the road, it performs marvelously. Your turning radius increases, and on a lightweight road bike, be careful the first few times you decide to stand up while pedaling. Other than these two factors, you might forget it's behind you.
The tire is of good quality, and the frame is well-braced and sturdy. The dry bag that comes with the trailer is specially sized and can fit a good amount of gear in a rugged, waterproof way. The Bungee cords included have coverings over the hooks to protect the bag and other gear. Assembly was straightforward and required only a few basic tools.
Being an engineer, I have high standards for the design of my gear. My favorite feature has to be the attachment system. While sufficiently sturdy, attaching the trailer is about as easy as putting a front wheel into a quick release and takes about 15 seconds. This means it's on your mountain bike, or your road bike, or your commuter when you want it, and not when you don't. I have a feeling my Xtracycle will start accumulating dust.

Softball Swept by Newberry 7-0, 5-1; Patterson Homers in Game Two
March 8, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Behind a pair of complete games from Felicia Taylor (Venice, FL) and a grand slam in game two by Chelsie Hilbourne (Loris, SC), Newberry College scored a non-conference softball sweep by the scores of 7-0 and 5-1 over Pfeiffer University on Tuesday afternoon. Taylor threw 224 pitches combined as the Wolves improve to 11-12 on the year while the Lady Falcons fall to 11-11.
Taylor fired a shutout in game one for Newberry scattering four hits with six strikeouts. The Wolves struck early with a two-out, two-run single from Casey Stevens (Coral Springs, FL) in the first and a two-out infield single to short in the second off the bat of Codi Kelly (New River, AZ).
Tallies in each of the final three frames of the opener gave Newberry its 7-0 win. Jennifer Yancey (Dunwoody, GA) came through with a RBI-single in the fifth that scored Taylor while a Lady Falcon error and RBI-double by Hilbourne helped plate two more in the sixth. Newberry closed game one scoring out after a RBI-triple from Richelle Mirabal (Tampa, FL) in the seventh.
In the nightcap, it was Pfeiffer that struck first for their lone run of the afternoon as Kirsten Patterson (Anthem, AZ) belted a leadoff homer on the first pitch in the second to make it 1-0 Lady Falcons. In a five-run fifth, Hilbourne capped the frame with her laser of the wall in left for the grand slam and a 5-1 Wolves win.
Taylor needed 127 pitches in game two to register the complete game allowing the one run on four hits. Melanie Conklin (Wellington, OH) suffered the loss striking out 12.
Pfeiffer returns to the diamond on Wednesday afternoon looking to stay unbeaten in Conference Carolinas play hosting Coker at 1:00 p.m.

LaBar and Conklin Pace Softball to Game One Win and Split at Lander
March 21, 2010
Story Courtesy of Lander Sports Information
GREENWOOD, SC Hayley Leissner and Shelbey Spencer combined for a no-hit, shutout Sunday afternoon to lead the Lander softball team to an 8-0 victory and a non-conference, doubleheader split against Pfeiffer University at Doug Spears Field. Pfeiffer won the first game, 6-0. Lander moves to 14-16 overall, while Pfeiffer is 14-18.
Marilyn Newman set the pace for the Bearcats with a solo homer in the first inning and Brittney Sheriff scored on a double steal to make it 2-0.
The Bearcats extended the margin to 5-0 in the third. Daisy Stewarts RBI double plated Sheriff, then Casey Corbitts two-RBI single scored Jacki Haisley and Haley Foster.
With bases loaded in the fourth, Sheriff scored on a wild pitch to give Lander a 6-0 lead. The eight-run rule came into effect in the fifth when Ashley Proctor scored on a pair of Pfeiffer errors and Newmans RBI single plated Blair Hammonds.
Leissner (9-3) struck out three and walked two in four innings of work, while Spencer fanned two in one inning.
The Falcons' Allison Braswell (4-7) took the loss as she struck out two, and allowed five earned runs on six hits in 2.2 innings. Lander, which pounded out 10 hits, was led by Newman (2-for-4) and Sheriff (2-for-2).
In the first game, Pfeiffers Melanie Conklin (3-1) earned the win as she struck out nine, walked one and allowed four hits in the complete seven innings.
Landers Spencer (3-8) took the loss as she struck out two and allowed two earned runs on three hits in two innings pitched. Pfeiffer took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on Rachel LaBars two-run homer over the left field fence.
The Falcons stretched the lead to 6-0 in the seventh. Bryttny Kreshka reached on a Lander error, advanced to second on Kylee Nichols sacrifice bunt, to third on Amber Johnsons single and scored on another Lander error. Heather Nobles and Sarah Waylock followed with RBI doubles that plated Johnson, Nobles and Mariah Chalk.
Sheriff hit 2-for-3 for the Bearcats. For Pfeiffer, Johnson and Waylock both went 3-for-4.

Comments: This is without doubt one of the best jigs on the market. The description pretty much sums it all up. It is very durable with quality components, well constructed and extremely versatile.
From: Phatbass: FL 6/13/14
Comments: I don't believe in perfection, but this has got to be about as close as it gets. This jig performs well in nearly any condition. It has a great weed guard that does not need to be modified at all for a good hookup ratio, but, like most anglers I chose to modify it after a couple uses anyway. Super realistic jig head with some really high quality material skirts. The hook is very strong and razor sharp with a good hook keeper that keeps your trailers on without ripping them up. Great for swimming, dragging the bottom, or pitching. This truly is an all in one jig. In fact, I just caught a 3.5lber swimming it this morning!
From: Jake: NJ
Comments: Nice looking jig. do these jigs have a rattle on them??
From: ES: Ontario
Comments: great jig for everything from flipping heavy cover to swimming i like having one jig that does it all.
From: Robert: Vilonia, AR
Comments: A really really nice jig. Made with a tough paint job, good skirt colors, heavy hook and awesome trailer keeper. For me, this jig really shines when thrown in cover and brushpiles.

JD Mc Duffies' death was the worst one that I've seen live, it was extremely violent. It caused significant changes to the track to slow the cars down to a somewhat sane speed.
From wiki:
McDuffie was involved in an accident on the fifth lap of the 1991 Budweiser At The Glen race at Watkins Glen International. On the straight between the Esses and the Loop-Chute, at 170 mph, McDuffie and Jimmy Means touched wheels. McDuffie's driver's side outer tie rod end dropped from the front wheel spindle, which caused him to lose control of the position of the right side tire/wheel. Further, the impact caused the front wheel assembly to completely fall off the car, starting a chain reaction that resulted in all of McDuffie's brakes failing.
This one doesn't involve death, but is equally disturbing.
Tetsuya Ota's crash and fire at Fuji Speedway 1998.
WARNING!!! not for the faint of heart Starts with the rescue. Crash seen at 2:35.
You would think they pulled out a dead person.
His helmet
still involved in motorsports in Japan
here he is discussing, the then new, Ferrari 430
I had no idea there were this many fatalities in the last 15-20 years
Ah wow, this is the bad memories thread.
So in September of 1999 I rally with some buddies to Laguna Seca to catch CART. We show up at the track and were confused by total inactivity when there should have been a practice going on. Word soon filtered through that Gonzo had a bad and possibly fatal accident at the corkscrew. We couldn't believe it....first Krosnoff just a couple years back and now Gonzo. Greg Moore followed a scant 6 weeks afterwards. Awful.
I always wished I'd printed a copy of the practice session times when Gonzalo Rodriguez left us. He was turning heroic times in a bad Lola chassis that team Penske simply didn't have a handle on...way ahead of what Little Al was doing with it. What a shame, Gonzo had the potential to be a great one.
Edit - This was the incident that prompted Stefan Johanssen to quit CART at the end of that year.
Anyway, after a while they fired up the copter, wheeled Greg into it and took off. At that point, the seriousness of it set in a little but we were all still assuming he was probably dinged up pretty good but still alive.
Then, in the middle of the race the flag was lowered to half mast and the whole place just deflated.

So what did cause the first crash in the thread?
I stumbled upon a website a few years ago that was nothing but unedited raw footage of race crashes....all fatal. I joined the site because I am a little morbid but they had a member that went all CSI on the crashes and his breakdowns were very informative and revealing.
The marshalls were poorly equipped and less than willing to help. Fans tried to climb the barriers to assist but were beaten back by police. Williamson died from asphyxiation. He could have been saved if someone other than Purley had helped to extract him from the car. The absolute worst part of all this is that Purley recalls that he could hear Williamson pleading for help inside the burning car.

I made a post a in page one talking about Ceverts crash. Stewart was one of the first drivers at the scene, he just walked back horrified and crying.
Can't ever forget this one, just last year.
i just happened to catch it on TV. They kept showing the replay from his onboard cam. Once you realized that the cockpit hit the fence, you knew it was going to be ugly
Felt so bad for his wife and young children.
I happened to be in Vegas the next week for business and I had to drive by. By then all the tributes and flowers had been taken down.
Paul Dana's was extremely shocking, the sheer speed and impact was like nothing I've ever seen. How Carpenter didn't die is a miracle. Crash at 0:40.

That last video was like "excitement and cool stuff, but first here is a video of someone getting killed. Oh and Danica has a nice ass"
No fatality (thankfully), but I was always amazed by Joey Hand's Grand-Am accident. It is truly amazing to think that sometimes its your day, others its not.
Expenses in F1 have gone down since the 1960s because teams don't need an extra pit crew to help the driver carry around his balls when he is not in the car.
I'll never forget the Swede Savage crash at the '73 Indy 500. A crew member running to the scene was hit by a fire truck and killed. In a wierd twist of fate Savage survived the crash and was expected to recover but died a month later of liver failure.
He gave me one of his crew shirts and I still have it hanging in the closet. I haven't worn it since the accident. To add to the tragedy of that day one of the corner workers also died in that accident.

Carolinas HealthCare System strives to provide financial assistance based on a patient's ability to pay while modeling at all times the System core value of "Caring". The programs are designed to ensure assistance is provided to patients demonstrating a financial need and is in compliance with any required Federal or State regulations related to financial assistance.
Carolinas HealthCare System offers four programs:
Uninsured patients will receive a 50% discount off gross charges on all medically necessary services. This is applied automatically and no action is needed by the patient to receive this discount. This program is available to all uninsured patients.
The CAFA program is for North Carolina and South Carolina residents who are uninsured patients and have received hospital inpatient services or observation services. It also includes hospital outpatient services that result in a balance greater than or equal to $10,000. Uninsured patients with these types of services will be reviewed for CAFA by the System Financial Counseling Department. A financial counselor will interview the patient and determine if they are eligible for other coverage opportunities. If a patient fully cooperates with this process and no coverage is available, their account will be evaluated for financial assistance based on their income as compared to federal poverty guidelines (FPG). Patients with income less than or equal to 200% of FPG will receive a 100% discount. Patients between 201% and 400% of the FPG will qualify for partial discounts. Interest free payment options are available to assist patients in paying their remaining balance. Patients can contact their assigned financial counselor with questions or download an application.
The Financial Assistance Scoring program is for North Carolina and South Carolina residents who are uninsured patients and have received hospital outpatient services that resulted in a balance less than $10,000. Each account will be automatically reviewed for a financial assistance discount prior to billing. Eligibility is based on a financial assistance score from a third party vendor that indicates the likelihood a patient lives in poverty. Patients with qualifying accounts will be extended a 100% adjustment and will not receive a bill. Patients with a qualifying score are not required to take any action. Patients found ineligible will receive a letter indicating the account was found not eligible. Patients who have received outpatient services but are not eligible for the 100% discount under the FAS program may apply for assistance under the CAFA program by downloading an application and mailing it to the System Business Office (SBO). They may also request an application to be mailed to them by calling the customer service department. Uninsured patient's receiving Emergency Department services will be responsible for a minimum $75 copay.
This program is designed to assist North Carolina and South Carolina residents who have had a catastrophic medical event regardless of their insurance coverage that has resulted in very large hospital bills in comparison to their financial resources. Patients who have incurred a balance after all insurance or third party payments that is greater than 20% of their total household financial resources may be eligible for a Hardship Settlement discount. Patients seeking a hardship settlement should inquire about this program by calling the customer service department after receiving their first statement. Patient balances must be greater than or equal to $5,000 to qualify for a hardship settlement.
Carolinas HealthCare System provides a variety of payment options, including Online Bill Pay and long-term payment plans.
For System hospitals not listed above, please go to the specific hospital's website for their financial assistance policy and process. All hospitals provide automatic discounts to uninsured patients and have financial assistance policies for current medical services based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Detailed policies are available upon request.

Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to be nostalgic about something you never experienced. For instance, one look at my record collection shows I only like music made before I was even born. The fact that my record collection is 100% vinyl supports my believe that I don't really belong in this age in which Apples are meant for listening to music rather than things that you pick from a tree and eat.

Thread: Matching fragrances to your look
Do you believe that certain fragrances are more suitable for certain looks? I'm not talking only about your clothing (e.g. suit/tie vs t-shirt/jeans), but also your physical appearance - e.g. youthful/mature, tall/short, fat/fit, blonde/brunette, tanned/fair, etc?
Any examples you can think of?
Yes I do and that is reason why I wear certain fragrances (which I feel are more wearing me than I am wearing them) only when I am in right mood for them or am not around other people. I remember that there was old thread with people posting their pics and other recommending fragrances for them. IMO it would not be bad idea to start such thread again.
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
In my opinion if you are wearing a leatherjacket the Perfect scent would be Fahrenheit...
When i wore my aero jacket i always sprayed some Fahrenheit.
Interesting thread. If the fragrance wore me it would matter.
But I do feel extra regal when I wear certain sandalwood perfumes.
Its subjective though because I created the link between sandalwood and the feeling of regal.
In the same way I associated lemon, orange and geranium for summer.
Do I stick to these associations? No but they're generally there.
Current Top 5:
1. Frederic Malle L'eau d'Hiver
2. Tom Ford Noir de Noir
3. Dior Homme / Dior Homme Intense
4. Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Havane / Pure Malt
5. Creed Aventus / Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
My fragrances are beautiful. =)
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
I think that obese people wearing for example Blue Sugar could send a wrong message.
Personally I find some scents too youthful and sweet for me. I prefer grown up ladies' scents to it.
Perhaps, but I never really cared about what was "suitable" for my looks. If I had to choose a fragrance based on my looks, I'd always be wearing some light fruity citrusy scent. bleh That being said, there are times when I do feel the urge to wear a scent that compliments my clothing. For instance, when dressed casually in the summer I'll often opt for a more tropical scent. Liikewise, if dressed in black for an evening out, I'll usually choose something a bit more edgy with leather or heavy spice notes.
As my BMI is officially 'butter' and I have a face like a bag of smashed crabs I find I can wear pretty much anything and still get the same effect.
Well ,that is a MUST for me. I am matching fragrances with my looks because I match looks with every activity I do .
So when I do business I dress smart and wear something sophisticated , when I hang out with the guys I dress casual and wear my signature scent .
This is something I've been thinking about. Like most of us here, I wear a selection of fragrances, and would like to know if some 'suit' me better than others. Not really sure how to assess this, as my own views are subjective, and based more on my preferences and (perhaps) my perceptions of myself (and indeed my perceptions of certain fragrances). I suspect there is more to this than simply how one looks and how one dresses...
I'm not sure that I would necessarily limit my choices based on suitability, but I am interested in the concept...
Though there aren't hard and fast rules about it, I would say that I try to co-ordinate my scent and my appearance most days.

No...I am not sure what would constitute a tall fragrance etc....answer is always the same....I wear what I feel like wearing....

I wear what I feel like wearing and I am into unsiex scents as well as exclusively male fragrances. I wear what I feel is ME no matter what.
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Not quite.
The way you look (Not physical appearance) = Your personality, which ultimately dictates what fragrance you typically will wear...of course taste is the most important thing.
Physical appearance isn't something you decide on, it's genetic, for the most part. I can't really see someone making a choice based on something they had no choice in.
I match my scent with my mood. But I can relate to smelling things and thinking, 'this is for a blonde', 'this is for a good girl', this is.. etc. , so it is more of a 'personality' assessment. Yes, in a way it would be fun to have people suggest what may suit you based on your pic. I have tried mentally matching a few acquaintances with possible frags they could wear but haven't been very successful.
I guess my fragrance love has one main subject - myself.
Occasionally, but the climate and occasion are more important.
I believe that really obese people should not wear gourmand fragrances.
No offense, just saying.
It's a free country (for now) wear what you like when you like.
As for me, I always try to have a scent that is a match for my clothing and the season. Today I'm in a suit and it's about 65 degrees and dreary. I have TDH EDP on. I would not wear Creed VIW on such a day with such an outfit.
Obese and skinny people can wear what they want. Geez, people are judgmental. People in those situations have it hard enough without us "perfect" people telling them what cologne to wear in addition to how much soda they can drink. Please.
I just go by how heavy (cloying) a fragrance is and whether it would be overbearing for the situation. I have my work friendly fragrances, casual, lounging, and formal fragrances. Lounging to me is shorts and a T-Shirt, casual collared shirt and jeans, and formal would be shirt and tie.
I suppose it depends on whether one thinks of fragrance as a sign/symbol or as art.
If it is something that signifies something to someone, then scents can be matched to looks based on all manner of different communicative intentions, conventional meanings, and predicted receptions.
If fragrance is art, then it might be conceived of as a world unto itself i.e. if one is appreciating perfumery for themselves and the world thus revealed is entirely sensual and technical (notes, etc). At this level, it basically doesn't matter whether the scent matches the look because that isn't the point.
Dirty English and M Generation for work. Burberry London would also be good, but my supply has run out.
Sung Homme for casual or lounging, Happy or D&G Masculine for same, but only in winter.
Gengis Khan for dressing up.
But then sometimes I mix it up because I want to smell something regardless of what I'm wearing or doing...
I'm a middle aged white man driving an eighteen wheeler, rocking to Beethoven on my Ipod, while wearing Chanel No. 5. The notion that a fragrance could have a gender or be innapropriate seems completely nonsensical to me. Refusing to bow down to social convention has it's consequences of course.
I simply wear what smells good to me. I guess I've never really thought about what matches my appearance. I do however, often find myself trying to match a frag to the "occasion" or situation, along with the weather based on what "feels right" for me at the time.
Yes, totally: the same way punk music doesn't suit a relaxed senior on a lawn chair.
Fragrances that don't suit people stand out to me like an off-key note in a chord. Then again, I suppose I'm a fragrance snob
Sales thread here
I have been known to get hung up standing in front of my collection deciding what would be best suited to what I am wearing, but this is an occasional problem, not an every day kind of thing.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
What scent goes with the urban lumberjack look?
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
I got no idea what kind of frags would suit me. Personalitywise I would say the ones I love also suit me. I got a comment from a SA telling me that Bel Ami suits me much better than amazone. So I guess that means "edgy" fragrances with a statement. Could be feminine or masculine. I detest nice, girly frags and I am also not nice anc girly. As for the physical appearance, dunno.... I'm relatively tall and not skinny and more or less blonde. Don't know if all my frags, especially the heavier, spicier ones, suit a middle blonde with light skin. But I don't care. I guess personality and taste is more important. On the other and, when for exampoe thinking of my boss with light skin and red hair, I just can't see him pull off heavy stuff. Well, he doesn't actually wear anything, so I don't have the experience...
No. I'm 5'8" and 125lbs, I'll go to work today wearing jeans, and I might wear Fracas, Knize Ten, Egoiste, or Kiehl's Musk. And nobody's going to complain that my perfume doesn't match my look. I think we forget that the rest of the world isn't obsessed with fragrance and most people probably wouldn't recognize what we're wearing anyhow.
The way I dress is totally separate from the fragrance I wear. Period. Two separate things in my mind.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I usually determine what I'm spraying on that day will be best suited for the weather and the occasion
Since I dress for the occasion what I will spray for the occasion will usually match
I think if a person cares for their fashion, they will care for what they spray for the occasion
I don't "match" outfits to scent at all.
I can wear the same outfit and choose a different scent each time.
I do choose my scent, however, according to the company I plan to keep and don't wear anything loud at work.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I tend to look the same every day, so it would make for a boring hobby if I had to 'match' the fragrance.
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
Not really, I use to think of a scent more like a complement and even a contrast to my looks, almost like a mask or a costumely outfit showing hidden sides of myself, far more than just looks-wise.
Seriously though, I match my colognes to my style all of the time. Then again, I might be a little OCD. Different colors get different colognes. Formal and casual get different colognes. I don't think that it's necessary for others to do this, just one of my strange habits(there are several).
Rather than focusing on physicality influencing scents, I think scents are more a reflection a one's persona at a given time, which would encompass a myriad of considerations at the time of choice, such as mood, weather, dress attire, etc.
I view a fragrance as an extension of one's essence on that day, and view the particular scent as an embellishment and enrichment of one's person.
(As an aside, occasionally, there is an incongruence in the selection, intentionally or otherwise, which would be either be a flop or an interesting contrast.)
you look like your frags
them frags look like you!
The best answer I can give is...sort of. I wear a frag depending on how I feel that day. Sometimes what I'm doing that day, or how I'm dressed that day will play into he equation, but I usually just go with how I'm feeling. Do I want something light? Fruity? Woody? Room-filling projection? Close to me? Etc...
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
I think that commercials or marketeers want us to believe that if you wear a certain fragrance, you're becoming the person they describe. For example a rich manager, a muscled sporter... For me that has the wrong effect. I find the model for D&G's Light Blue so "of another planet" (=stupid perfection) that I really don't want to smell the stuff.
I think it's very discriminating that one shouldn't wear a certain fragrance because he is older, a brunette...
Just spray what you like ;-)
I associate fragrances with clothing more than actual physical appearance, but even then it's not much.

If that was the case, I curious which look would suit Salvador Dali?

Srrr, it is the adherence to a dogma that is fixed, not the contents of that dogma. Your dogma is that primordial consciousness always existed. Is there any movement or change in that belief, or are you sticking to that fixation? I'd be a lot happier if you said "maybe PC weakly emerged but maybe it didn't". Then I could see you have an open mind. Likewise, "maybe there are fundamental particles, but maybe there aren't". That way you give the reader the choice to make up their own mind on the topic. But if you want to make a bold claim then you need to support it - not just say "that's it". Look carefully at the topic of this thread you chose. You have totally bagged a prominent scientist and author writing in his own area of expertise. So when you say we get PC no matter what, i.e. "for nothing", i.e. without any precedent, don't you think someone like myself is going to think that rather contradictory? Why is it ok for you to claim something for nothing and not someone like Dr Krauss? Don't you think you should apologise to Dr Krauss? :)
Your post contains no counterarguments. All you are doing now is saying "dogma" and "divine". You are no longer defending your own position that something fundamental must be something without change. And even if this were so (which it isnt), then it just as much applies to your very own panproto stuff.

She is a very studious and hard-working young lady with a 3.83/4.0 GPA. She is a leader and champion for her peers and wants to study psychology.
As I pleaded for help, I submitted a persona profile of my daughter's activities. As you can see, our daughter's awards and accomplishments are:
2012-2013: HS Senior

I am writing this letter in hopes that my daughter, as well as other qualified residents, who asked for their names to be submitted in the pool of applicants be given a fair opportunity to compete and/or get selected to receive scholarships that are open to all.
My family and I have prepared our daughter for a chance to compete for scholarships and grants. She has done all that was asked of her and more. Not only has she met standards/merits, she too has the financial need.

Esophageal manometry (muh-NOM-uh-tree) is a test that gauges how well your esophagus works. Your esophagus is the long, muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Esophageal manometry measures the rhythmic muscle contractions (peristalsis) that occur in your esophagus when you swallow. Esophageal manometry also measures the coordination and force exerted by the muscles of your esophagus.
During esophageal manometry, a thin, flexible tube (catheter) that contains sensors is passed through your nose, down your esophagus and into your stomach. Esophageal manometry can be helpful in diagnosing some mostly uncommon disorders that affect your esophagus.
Esophageal manometry is used to evaluate the movement (motility) of food through the esophagus and into the stomach. The test measures how well the circular bands of muscle (sphincters) at the top and bottom of your esophagus open and close, as well as the pressure, strength and pattern of the wave of esophageal muscle contractions that moves food along.
Your doctor may recommend esophageal manometry if you're experiencing symptoms that could be related to an esophageal disorder. Those symptoms may include:
Esophageal manometry may be used to help diagnose a number of conditions:
If you're considering undergoing anti-reflux surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), esophageal manometry may be recommended to make sure you don't have achalasia or spasm, which won't be helped by GERD surgery.
If you have chest pain not related to your heart, esophageal manometry is generally only recommended if you've had an endoscopy, GERD has been ruled out and you have some swallowing issues
Esophageal manometry is generally safe, and complications are rare. But as with any medical procedure, it does carry a risk of complications.
During esophageal manometry, you may experience:
After esophageal manometry, you may have some mild side effects, including:
Rarely, severe complications may include:
You may need to avoid eating and drinking for a certain length of time before esophageal manometry. Your doctor will give you specific instructions. Also, tell your doctor about any medications you're taking. You may be asked not to take some medications before the test.
Esophageal manometry is an outpatient procedure done without sedation. Most people tolerate it well. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown before the test starts.
The test usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
When your esophageal manometry is complete, you may return to your normal activities.
The results of your esophageal manometry will be sent to your doctor. Generally, results are ready in one to two days. The test results may be used to guide further treatment if necessary or to help plan a surgical procedure if the test was part of a preoperative evaluation. Plan to discuss the results with your doctor at a follow-up appointment.

- Health Care – "I believe access to affordable health care is critical to the residents of Wisconsin. I've worked to ensure that eligibility and benefits for Medical Assistance, Badger-Care and SeniorCare are protected."

I read not long ago that your memory can play tricks on you, and I believe it.
For instance, the article in – I can't remember what magazine – said that the portion of your brain responsible for long-term memory becomes more active as days pass – I started to say "as you age" but thought better of it.
Anyhow, I am astounded at the clarity in my mind of things that happened when I was a child.
I am equally astounded that I cannot remember my daughters' phone numbers.
I've strongly considered having the two numbers tattooed on my upper arm, but I decided it would look sort of funny upside down, and for convenience sake, that's how I'd have to have it done.
I'll have to give this a bit more thought.
But back to things I remember clear as a bell.
I remember a song about George Washington that we learned in the third grade. A long song with extra verses and a chorus. I remember them well.
"First in war, first in peace. First in the hearts of his countrymen …"
Another from first grade:
"Rainy days are happy days
for then we have to use.
Our raincoats and umbrellas and rainy-weather shoes." and rainy-weather shoes."
And yet another patriotic number:
"Dear flag of our
It makes us brave to see you wave
in folds red, white and blue."
How about a train song?
"Little red caboose – chug, chug, chug.
Little red caboose behind the train, train, train, train…"
Comes Halloween…
"Witches on brooms with cats and bats
Ride round in the dark in their funny black hats.
It's good to have Mother to kiss you goodnight
And know that the witches have all taken flight."
I wish I had an Easter one, but my Easter songs must have all taken flight.
I do, however, remember when Easter was a real thrill, second only to Christmas because we got stuff that didn't come along every day.
A candy bar used to be a really big deal when they were not so plentiful.
I remember that my brothers and I used to get a big old chocolate rabbit in our Easter baskets. Of course, they were hollow inside, but that made no never mind.
I'd talk brothers into a "teeny bite" off their rabbit, and one year, I just held on and on to mine.
My basket was hidden in the corner of the girls' room upstairs where I knew they'd never see it … they just assumed that I had gobbled mine up.
Truth to tell, I sort of forgot about it myself until along about June.
Well sir, you know it used to get really hot upstairs – no air conditioning or fans.
One day I was outside playing hopscotch when it dawned on me that I never did eat my chocolate rabbit.
I flew up the steps, grabbed up my basket, and…
What a mess. My rabbit had melted amongst the artificial grass. One look and I realized my little prank had backfired. Never would I be able to eat the chocolate without consuming some of that nasty grass.
So I took it out to the barrel where we dumped trash and threw it in.
Thinks I to myself…I've learned a lesson.
Yes, next Easter, I'll gobble up my chocolate rabbit right away, and take my chances on getting a little bit of my brothers'.
firstname.lastname@example.com still loves chocolate, especially rabbits..

TNT has officially cancelled Leverage after five seasons on the air. The action series will conclude its run on Tuesday, Christmas Day. Thankfully, the show about modern Robin Hoods will have a suitable ending.
Executive producer Dean Devlin recently wrote an open letter to fans. He penned, "As of the writing of this letter, we still do not know if there will be a season six of our show… Because of this uncertainty, John Rogers and I decided to end this season with the episode we had planned to make to end the series, way back when we shot the pilot. So, the episode that will air on Christmas is, in fact, the series finale we had always envisioned."
Here's TNT's official statement about the cancellation:
TNT's Leverage has thrilled audiences with its delightfully intricate plots, its "stand up for the little guy" attitude and its terrific performances from stars Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge. But after five wonderful years, it's time to say goodbye. Leverage will come to a close on Christmas, Tuesday, Dec. 25, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), with a series finale that stands as one of the show's best episodes.
We are honored to have worked with executive producer Dean Devlin, Electric Entertainment, creators John Rogers and Chris Downey, and all the cast and production crew on Leverage. We look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them again in the future. We also want to thank the passionately devoted fans of Leverage, who have been the driving force behind its success.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Leverage won't be back for a sixth season or do you think this is a good time to end the series?

Ramona Quimby, Age 8
Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (Paperback)
Related Editions
Everything depends on Ramona.
Ramona's job is to be nice to fussy Mrs. Kemp, who watches her while her mother works. If Mrs. Quimby didn't work, Mr. Quimby couldn't return to college. On top of all that, third grade isn't turning out as Ramona expected. Danny the Yard Ape teases her and, on one horrible day, she throws up—at school. Being eight isn't easy, but it's never dull!
About the Author
Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up.
Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!
Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have also been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.

LOS ANGELES – The CIA thriller "Argo" continues to steamroll through awards season, winning the top honor for overall cast performance at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
SAG's lead-acting honors Sunday went to Jennifer Lawrence for her role as a troubled widow in a shaky new relationship in the lost-souls romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War epic "Lincoln."
Anne Hathaway of "Les Miserables" and Tommy Lee Jones of "Lincoln" won the supporting-acting honors.
"It occurred to me – it was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln," said Day-Lewis, a solid front-runner to join an exclusive list of three-time acting Oscar winners. "And therefore, somehow it is only so fitting that every now and then an actor tries to bring him back to life again."
It was a brisk, businesslike and fairly bland evening as the actors union handed out honors to a predictable lineup of winners who generally had triumphed at earlier Hollywood ceremonies or past SAG shows.
The SAG cast win came a day after "Argo" claimed the top honor from the Producers Guild of America, whose winner often goes on to claim best picture at the Academy Awards. "Argo" also was a surprise victor two weeks ago at the Golden Globes, where it won best drama and director for Ben Affleck.
The awards momentum positions "Argo" for a rare feat at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where it could become just the fourth film in 85 years to be named best picture without a nomination for its director.
"To me this has nothing to do with me, it has to do with the incredible people who were in this movie," said Affleck, who also stars in "Argo" and accepted the SAG prize alongside his cast.
A directing nomination at the Oscars usually goes hand in hand with a best-picture win. When Affleck was snubbed for a directing slot, awards analysts initially were counting "Argo" out for the best-picture Oscar, along with Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables," which also missed out on directing nominations.
Only once in modern times has a film won best picture without a directing nomination, with 1989's "Driving Miss Daisy." The other two times came in the show's early years, at the first Oscars in 1929 with "Wings" and for 1932's "Grand Hotel."
But "Argo" has proven a resilient crowd-pleaser, dominating at awards shows since then over Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," which leads the Oscars with 12 nominations.
The cast prize at SAG adds some weight to the Oscar prospects for "Argo," though the guild honor has a spotty record at forecasting eventual best-picture winners. Only eight of 17 times since the guild added the category has the cast winner gone on to take the best-picture Oscar. "The Help" won the guild's cast prize last year, while Oscar voters named "The Artist" as best picture.
The next playoff round before the Oscars is Saturday's Directors Guild of America Awards, where Affleck, Bigelow, Spielberg and Hooper all are nominated, along with Ang Lee for "Life of Pi." The winner there typically goes on to triumph with directing and best-picture Oscars, but only Spielberg and Lee are nominated for both the Directors Guild and Oscar prizes this time, throwing the awards picture into a muddle.
Sunday's acting prizes solidify those categories, though. "Silver Linings" star Lawrence won a Golden Globe and has become one of Hollywood's hottest talents, with part two of her blockbuster franchise, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," due out in November.
"Now I have this naked statue that means some of you even voted for me, and that is an indescribable feeling," Lawrence said after explaining she earned her SAG card at age 14 by filming a spot for MTV.
Hathaway won for her role as a doomed single mother forced into prostitution in the adaptation of the stage musical based on Victor Hugo's epic novel. Her win came over four past Oscar recipients – Sally Field, Helen Hunt, Nicole Kidman and Maggie Smith.
"I'm just thrilled I have dental," Hathaway said. "I got my SAG card when I was 14. It felt like the beginning of the world. I have loved every single minute of my life as an actor."
Jones, who was not at the show, won for his turn as abolitionist firebrand Thaddeus Stevens in the Civil War epic. The win improves his odds to become a two-time Academy Award winner. He previously won a supporting-actor Oscar for "The Fugitive."
Day-Lewis, a two-time Oscar winner for "My Left Foot" and "There Will Be Blood," could become the fifth actor to earn three Oscars, along with Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Ingrid Bergman and Walter Brennan. Katharine Hepburn has the acting record with four Oscars.

It wasn't until I went to college when I learned that not all moms were good cooks. Or that mothers did laundry. Like her mother, my mother worked, but still cooked dinner every night when she got home. Sometimes it was as simple as pork ribs brushed with soy sauce and baked, or shrimp stuffed with seasoned bread crumbs. Although not as 'fancy', my favorite were English muffin pizzas we made in the GE toaster oven which called for a spoonful of tomato sauce, a few drips of olive oil, mozzarella, and a dusting of dried oregano.
There likely are people out there that would have a kiniption and race to the internet to send my mother a link to prove that what she was making us wasn't really pizza. That one had to have a special pizza stone to make authentic pizza, you had to make the dough from scratch and the tomatoes had to be from your garden instead of the can of Hunt's, which all didn't really matter anyways because if you didn't have a wood-fired oven, you didn't have the right to call it pizza in the first place. But back then, it was just about getting dinner on the table and feeding us. That was all she had to prove.
(The only time I ever had frozen dinners was when my parents went out and left me alone, and I was mesmerized by TV dinners, which were new. I was particularly fond of the one with fried chicken, as well as the roast turkey dinner, where you peeled back the foil from the cobbler midway during baking to crisp it up. My life changed when they introduced boxes of frozen fried chicken, so we bought just that since the stuffing and mashed potatoes were unnecessary accompaniments.)
My mother didn't cook anything fancy, but it always tasted good. And when I went to college, the first thing I remember is how few guys in my dorm knew how to do their own laundry; their mothers had always done it for them. My mother was no fool, and taught me and my sister how to do all that stuff so she wouldn't have to do it all herself.

What is your favorite place on campus?
DeSmet Hall, the [largest] all-guys dorm on campus. I've met my best friends for life there, and had some unforgettable moments that have helped define my college career.
What about your favorite place in Spokane?
Luigi's Italian Restaurant. I would imagine there is no place which makes you feel so close to Italy, without actually being there. Their food is amazing, the atmosphere is lively but enjoyable, and the staff makes you feel like you are at home. Their food is only second to my mom's.
Which class and/or professor have you enjoyed the most so far?
One of my favorite classes has been Philosophy 201: Human Nature with Professor Mark Bowman. It is a discussion-based class where you get to talk about some of the most famous works in philosophy, written by Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and every other philosopher you have heard of. Professor Bowman makes all the discussions relevant, to make PHIL 201 more than just another core class.
Give us a fun fact about you:
My spirit animal is the Otter.
What extra-curricular activity do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy intramurals the most. I get to play every sport you can imagine, on every sort of skill level, for cheap - which becomes really important. I have been able to play intramurals with my best friends and it is a blast.
Even though you haven't left Gonzaga yet, what is your favorite memory so far?
By far my freshman year, spending a week in the cold to camp out for basketball games against Washington State University and Wake Forest University to get second row seats. My advice to any incoming freshman is that any amount of camping for a game, at any negative degree temperature is worth it. Basketball games are something everyone looks forward to, and miss a lot when they leave.

Washington voters support all four of the major initiatives on the state ballot this year, according to a new KING 5 News poll.
More than half of respondents -- 55 percent -- said they support R-74, the referendum to affirm the same-sex marriage law passed early this year by the legislature. Forty percent said they were opposed, and just 6 percent said they remain undecided.
The marijuana legalization initiative (I-502) is backed by 57 percent of voters, the poll found, with just 33 percent opposing it and 10 percent saying they remain undecided.
Voters also favor the Tim Eyman-backed tax initiative (I-1185) has 56 percent support, with 26 percent opposed and 17 percent undecided. I-1185 would strengthen existing law that requires super majority votes in the legislature to enact any tax increases, and majority votes for any fee increases.
The charter school initiative (I-1240) had the lowest support, with 49 percent saying they support it compared with 30 percent against it and 21 percent who said they were undecided. This initiative would authorize the creation of up to 40 public charter schools across the state.
In the statewide race for U.S. Senate, incumbent Maria Cantwell (D) holds a 13-point lead over challenger Michael Baumgartner (R), 53 percent to 40 percent, the poll found, with just 6 percent saying they are undecided.
A large pool of voters remains undecided about the race for state attorney general -- 21 percent of respondents said they had not decided which candidate to support. Democrat Bob Ferguson had 43 percent support, compared with 35 percent for Republican Reagan Dunn. Both candidates are members of the King County Council.
The KING 5 poll was conducted by SurveyUSA between Sept. 28 and 30; 540 likely voters were interviewed, and the margin of error for each of the questions mentioned above is plus or minus 4.3 percent.
Compiled by KING 5's Robert Mak and Russ Walker.

In this week's Real to Reel Insider, you'll find two great feature films. The majority of films for the festival have been shorts and documentaries, but there are still some great feature films out there. Here are two I enjoyed, and if selected for the festival, I hope you enjoy them too.
By Joe Chang, Asheville
85 minutes
In "Present," we follow a performing artist named Daniel and his sister, Dorothy, around Asheville and later Mt. Airy, as they visit their hometown and realize that it never really left them.
On Halloween, Daniel comes to visit Dorothy and her roommate Cassie. The three decide to take a road trip to Mt. Airy, the siblings' former hometown, to visit "Mayberry" and to see how things have changed.
Their trip to Mt. Airy feels familiar, like any road trip we've taken, and the things they do are mostly uneventful. They visit an antique shop, they play in a pumpkin patch, Daniel gets a haircut, and they visit Andy Griffith's house. Ironically, the neighbor of that house doesn't even know who Andy Griffith was. And the house they used to live in is now home to a new family.
When the three return to Asheville, the small-town restaurant Dorothy worked at closes unexpectedly. The realization that things are changing, disappearing, is deeply felt at this moment. Many of us have witnessed the little pieces that make up Small Town USA slowly fall apart and disappear.
But change has to happen. New people move into our old houses, people forget about the television of yesterday, small town diners close, and children grow up.
What does not change is our ability to remember these things if we choose to, and to make new memories that don't eclipse the former, but rather recall them when we need them most.
Written and Produced by Mara Lesemann
Directed by Laura Thies
"Surviving Family" is an aptly-named feature that speaks volumes about the struggles of being someone's "surviving family." As children, Terry Malone and her two siblings lost their mother on Terry's birthday. A longtime sufferer of depression and bipolar disorder, their mother finally decided she couldn't live any longer. After that, Terry's main goal was to get away from her family and their small town.
So Terry runs from her problems, and escapes them for years. But when she returns to introduce her fiance, Alex, to her family and to hold the wedding at her sister's house, the past comes flooding back. Suddenly, Terry is forced to confront the things she still hasn't dealt with: anger at her mother, blame for her father, and a new sister she didn't know existed.
Terry's struggle not to overcome, but to accept her past and her family, is poignantly told in "Surviving Family." As she finds healing in understanding the story of her mother, Terry learns to let go of her hurt and anger. She learns to let go of the things that don't matter, and to hold on to the people who do.

Imagine I am building a large display that will cover many square feet and have both tall buildings and lots of small details. What are some techniques for making these things modular? Is it safer to disassemble partially or plan to carry displays whole? What do the builders and clubs at shows do to transport large layouts?
I wouldn't recommend transporting anything larger than a 32x32 stud baseplate. Use Technic pins and 1x2 bricks to connect parts of your model in the same way as the Modular Sets have done. The technique works well for buildings, planes, boats and just about any kind of large model.
Remove as many small parts likely to fall off in transportation as you possibly can and place them in a sealed plastic bag or other suitable container. Place the rest of the model with the extra parts in a cardboard/plastic box. The box is essential for catching any other fragile pieces that fall off the model. You may also use bubble wrap or tissue paper to pad the box as much as you can.
Once your Lego model has completed it's journey allow yourself some time to fix inevitable damage.
Modularize, modularize, modularize! If you are putting models in a train show or similar, think about building large models so that they can conveniently be broken down into modules of no larger than 32x32 studs.
You can use "Saran" wrap to gently wrap some models. It keeps the parts from falling to the wayside, but doesn't neccesarily keep the models intact during transit. Even if you box it up as well, there is always a good chance you'll need to touch up any thing you build then move.
