If you're a third-gen owner, we'll bet there's times you feel like the world can be an unfair place. It seems like every aftermarket suspension company out there is making replacement subframes for first-gen Camaros, while others cater to the second-gen and fourth-gen crowd.
But where's the love for the third-gen Camaro owners who want to throw down in the twisties? Thankfully, the gearheads over at Hotchkis Performance saw this inequity and hit the drawing boards. What they came up with were some performance-driven suspension components designed to help third-gen owners keep up with their Camaro brethren when the road varies from the straight and narrow. So, we fired up our laterally-challenged '83 Camaro and headed over to Hotchkis for some suspension TLC.
We updated the front of our third-gen with Hotchkis' Sport Suspension sway bar kit. Included is a 1 7/16-inch hollow bar (PN 2203 $553.30), bushings, brackets, and end links. (A one-inch hollow rear sway bar included in next photo). For this build we also went with the Premium Steering Rebuild Kit (PN CHESTR033 $550.50), which included the inner tie rods, outer tie rod ends, idler arm, and centerlink. Although they're not included in the kits, we wanted to get maximum performance, and drop our ride height an inch, so we added in the Sport Coil Springs (PN 1903 front & rear $270.60). Hotchkis now does installations at its Premium Installation Center, so you can have your parts bolted on and aligned by those that know them best.

Mark Hummels dies, was 2nd victim in office shooting
PHOENIX -- A second victim of the Phoenix office-complex shooting has died.
Lawyer Mark Hummels passed away Thursday night. He was taken off life support, according to a statement. He had undergone surgery at John C. Lincoln Hospital for bullet wounds to his neck and back, suffered in Wednesday's shooting.
He is the second fatality linked to suspected shooter Arthur Douglas Harmon, 70, of Phoenix. Steve Singer, the first victim, died a few hours after the shooting.
Hummels, 43, was representing Singer in a lawsuit filed by Harmon, according to court documents. The victims and the suspect had been at a settlement hearing earlier in the day at the office complex at 16th Street and Glendale Avenue.
According to the statement, Hummels had been declared brain dead.
Services for Hummels will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Orpheum Theatre, 203 W. Adams.
If you would like to make a charitable donation, Hummels' family asks that you do so to the Mark Hummels Memorial Fund at the Arizona Community Foundation. Also, donations for the welfare, education and care of Mark's two children may be made to the Hummels Children's Fund at Alliance Bank of Arizona, 2901 N. Central Ave., Suite 100, Phoenix 85012.
According to Hummels' biography at the Osborn Maledon firm's website, he was considered "a future star" by Benchmark Litigation, a national publication that focuses on litigation.
Hummels was admitted to the state bar in 2005 and clerked for Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Hurwitz.
The suspected shooter, Harmon was found dead in Mesa Thursday morning.

"I'd bend over to blow-dry my hair and feel spacey," she recalls. At the time, Annamaria, 57, was working as the manager of the primary care practice of Hessam Mahdavi, MD, who practices at the Eisenhower Wellness Institute at the George and Julia Argyros Health Center in La Quinta. Board certified in Internal Medicine, he has extensive training in nutrition, integrative medicine and hormonal management issues for both women and men.
"Dr. Mahdavi would periodically have his clinical staff practice performing tests," Annamaria relates. "This particular week, we all had blood glucose tests, and Dr. Mahdavi talked to us about why monitoring blood sugar is important for women, especially as we reach mid-life.". This serendipitous blood sugar reading revealed that Annamaria was pre-diabetic.
"I was in total denial and insisted that the test must be wrong," she recalls. So Dr. Mahdavi had her drink two glasses of water and repeat the test 30 minutes later. Her blood sugar reading was even higher.
Dr. Mahdavi urged Annamaria to have a more extensive evaluation to get a more complete picture of her health.
"I hadn't had blood work done in two years," she admits.
Annamaria underwent a comprehensive integrative medicine consultation and assessment at the Eisenhower Wellness Institute, one of several specialized consultations offered at this innovative center that provides an individualized approach to health and wellness (see sidebar). Her tests revealed that she not only was borderline diabetic but also had high levels of inflammation in her body. At 160 pounds, she was overweight for her height, when her ideal weight was 120 pounds.
"I was tired all the time, cranky and had no motivation to do anything," Annamaria says. "My joints and lower back ached, especially in the morning. I really had let myself go."
"All these symptoms are related, and not uncommon in women at mid-life," explains Dr. Mahdavi. "To effectively treat these patients and help them improve their health, it's important to look at the patient as a whole.
"When someone comes in with elevated blood sugar, for example, we not only look at that but also cholesterol, blood pressure and lifestyle," he continues. "We want to know what each person is about, if there's stress at work and home, what they eat, how they sleep, their level of physical activity. It all directly affects their blood sugar and weight.
"Inflammation in the body is also a key component affecting health," he says, referring to the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in a person's blood. CRP is a normal protein that appears in higher amounts when there's inflammation somewhere in the body, and it can be an indicator of such conditions as heart disease, autoimmune disorders, arthritis or chronic stress.
"We also look at various hormones," Dr. Mahdavi says, referring not only to reproductive hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone but also other key hormones such as thyroid (which affects metabolism) and cortisol (the "stress" hormone). All are critical to the function of virtually every system in the body.
"They all work together but must be in balance," he adds, noting that when there is too little or too much, it can have negative health effects. "This means that we have to look at the big picture, not just an isolated symptom such as high blood sugar."
It also means that treatment must be tailored to the individual patient.
"Not everyone benefits from the same approach," Dr. Mahdavi says.
In Annamaria's case, he recommended an anti-inflammation diet that eliminated sugar, dairy and wheat gluten, and included regular exercise and supplements to help manage food cravings and reduce inflammation.
"It wasn't easy to make these changes, but hearing that I was borderline diabetic scared me," she says. "I didn't want to start losing fingers and toes, or having to take insulin. I wanted to be around for a long time — not dead at 60 from something I could prevent."
Annamaria's motivation and willpower have paid off.
"The changes I made have changed my life," she says. "I feel so much better, and have more energy than ever. My last blood test showed that all inflammation is gone and I'm no longer in the pre-diabetic range — and that was achieved with no medication. My knees and back don't ache in the morning. And I've lost 38 pounds and kept it off for more than a year — I'm back into a size 4," she adds.
"Most of all, I feel a sense of empowerment," she continues. "I did it — I took control of my life. Being a mother, wife and grandmother, I spent my whole life taking care of someone else. And I was proof that when you do that, you tend to let yourself go because you're so focused on everyone else. But when you put yourself first, you can make yourself feel and look better. Dr. Mahdavi was a great coach."
"If a patient is motivated and wants to make changes and have a good quality of life, there are a lot of options out there," Dr. Mahdavi says, explaining that integrative medicine offers additional "tools" and choices. "We take a more holistic approach, take the time to get to the root causes of a patient's symptoms, and incorporate lifestyle changes including good eating habits, stress management and exercise."
"There's no such thing as a quick fix or magic bullet," he adds. "Integrative medicine isn't just about taking a few supplements or vitamins. It's about making changes for life. When patients are ready to do that, we're here to help them."
About the Eisenhower Wellness Institute
"Empowerment — that's the most important word to describe what we do here," says Patricia Avila, MD, Medical Director of the Eisenhower Wellness Institute. "We want to help women and men detect disease before it's symptomatic, get to the root causes of symptoms when they do occur, and suggest evidence-based lifestyle modifications that make a difference. "
"For people who want to learn about their health risks and what they can do to manage them, and participate in a supportive program that will help them achieve their wellness goals, we offer a wealth of options that empower them to do so," she adds.
These include an array of screenings:

Post, 85, has a pacemaker that needs to be checked once a month by phone. But the copper wiring that once connected his home to the rest of the world is gone, and the phone company refuses to restore it.
In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy pushed the sea over Post's neighborhood in
Mantoloking is one of the first places in the country where the traditional phone line is going dead. For now, Verizon, the country's second-largest landline phone company, is taking the lead by replacing phone lines with wireless alternatives. But competitors including AT&T have made it clear they want to follow. It's the beginning of a technological turning point, representing the receding tide of copper-wire landlines that have been used since commercial service began in 1877.
The number of
For most people, the phone line's demise will have little impact. But there are pockets of the country where copper lines are still critical for residents. As a result, state regulators and consumer advocates are increasingly concerned about how the transition will unfold.
"The real question is not: Are we going to keep copper forever? The real question is: How are we going to handle this transition?" says Harold Feld, senior vice president of Public Knowledge, a Washington-based group that advocates for public access to the Internet and other communications technologies.
The elderly and people in rural areas, where cell coverage may be poor or nonexistent, will be most affected by disappearing phone lines, Feld says. "Are we going to handle this transition in a way that recognizes that we have vulnerable populations here?"
Verizon says replacing the lines just doesn't make economic sense. When they were originally laid down, the phone was the only two-way telecommunications service available in the home, and the company could look forward to decades of use out of each line. Now, it would cost Verizon hundreds of dollars per home to rewire a neighborhood, but less than a quarter of customers are likely to sign up for phone service and many of those drop it after a year or two.
"If we fixed the copper, there's a good likelihood people wouldn't even use it," says Tom Maguire, Verizon's senior vice president of operations support.
Verizon also wants to get out of rebuilding phone lines on the western end of
"Really, what they're doing is abandoning us," says Randazzo, 30.
There's no cable service on
"I had to have my waiters write down the credit-card number, the expiration number and the CVV (security) code. It took me over three and a half hours to process all my credit cards on Saturday. That's pretty ridiculous," Randazzo says.
Verizon provided service to about 2,700 lines on western
Post's house in Mantoloking was built 83 years ago. His wife estimates it has been connected to a phone line for 80 years. Now, to get his pacemaker checked, he heads once a month to a friend's home in Bay Head, the next town over, which still has a copper phone line.
Most of his neighbors in Mantoloking have cable phone service from Comcast Corp. that can do most of the things Voice Link can't. The service, for instance, could relay Post's pacemaker information. But Post just isn't eager to switch to the cable company. He says he doesn't trust them. And he's not alone. Customer perception of cable TV providers has historically been poor, due to service outages and annual price increases, according to surveys for the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
Post's neighbor, Garret Sayia, is fine with cable.
"Everybody here wants the cable for Internet and TV," Sayia says. "The other thing is — who needs wires?" he adds, holding up his cellphone.
Verizon says just 855 of the 3,000 homes it wants to abandon in Mantoloking had traditional phone service before the storm hit.
In other areas, Verizon is replacing copper phone lines with optical fiber, which allows the company to offer cable-like TV services and ultrafast broadband. Water can short out and corrode copper wire, but optical fiber is made of glass and transmits light rather than electricity, so it's far more resistant to flooding. But the cost of wiring a neighborhood with fiber optic lines can run more than $1,000 a home.
"Everybody would love for us to put in fiber, but that's just not practical," Maguire says.
In late June, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed an emergency petition with state regulators to stop Verizon from replacing copper lines with alternatives in the Catskill Mountains of upstate
"We need kind of a process where we can figure out what we don't know," says Bob Quinn, one of AT&T's top lobbyists in
At Public Knowledge, Feld agrees with AT&T's deliberative approach. Among the issues that need to be looked at, he says, is whether consumer protections that apply to landline phone service should apply to whatever replaces it. For instance, if a consumer misses a monthly payment, phone companies are prohibited from cutting landline phone service right away.
"There are all kinds of state and federal rights around your phone bill ... which don't apply to these competitive alternatives," Feld says.
The FCC put together a formal task force on the issue in December, after AT&T put in its request, and has asked the company for more details.
Sean Lev, the FCC's general counsel, said in a blog post that "we should do everything we can to speed the way while protecting consumers, competition, and public safety." But he also points out that most phone companies aren't set to retire their landline equipment immediately. The equipment has been bought and paid for, and there's no real incentive to shut down a working network. He thinks phone companies will continue to use landlines for five to 10 years, suggesting that regulators have some time to figure out how to tackle the issue.
AT&T would like to have all its landline phone equipment turned off by 2020. Verizon's Maguire envisions a gradual phase-out, starting right now.
If a major telecommunications line fails and there are hundreds of people connected to it, Verizon would repair it, he says. But the company wants the option to abandon the failed line and move the remaining households to Voice Link.
"If you're one of the few people on there, and Voice Link seems to fit you, why not?" Maguire asks.

That's why they started doing the full digital releases day 1 on PSN as well - A lot of new games get a digital release. If you're from America the value seems okay, same price if not a little cheaper than retail. In the UK however our games market is that competitive no one EVER pays RRP. EA also seem to think they can charge £54.99 for some new releases... yeah okay EA.
I buy used, and like I said, I never got invested in a console DD service.
I'm hoping with the revitalization of the PS3's homebrew scene we see some more homebrew software. Would love to see someone port some remote desktop software ala VNC.

Legris Industries Group aims for focus on core competencies in industrial equipment and turnkey plant engineering, and is considering an offer for its historic Legris division. (19/06/2008)
Legris Industries has received an offer from Parker Hannifin Corp., an international motion and control manufacturer, for its Legris division. This proposal, which is consistent with the new strategic direction adopted by Legris Industries Group, is currently the object of a procedure to inform and consult the Central Works Council of Legris SA. The potential acquisition remains contingent on the approval of regulatory authorities in the countries concerned.
Legris Industries is today clearly successfully deploying its business development model to accelerate industrial performance. For this, it has over time developed methods, tools and principles of business support, leveraging its expertise to back growth and value creation.
With three of its divisions and two-thirds of its sales now centered on competencies in industrial equipment and in turnkey plant engineering, Legris Industries has decided to step up development in this direction and deepen related expertise. This also reflects the added potential for cross-fertilization within the Group in its new form, and increased scope for pooling of resources among its Savoye, Keyria and Clextral divisions.
At the same time, Legris Industries has decided to consider the Parker Hannifin offer for its Legris division. Looking to the future, Legris Industries considers that Legris stands to gain significant benefits from a tie-up with a major industrial firm specialized in its sector, able to make most of the division's strengths and offer an even more favorable environment for the success of new stages in its development. This is why Legris
Industries considers Parker's offer to be of interest.
An international manufacturer with a workforce of 57,000 generating sales of $10.7 billion in 2007, Parker Hannifin is the world leader in motion and control including fluid control and handling systems for applications in hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, filtration and other technologies. The planned tie-up offers Legris real opportunities to accelerate development with the help of added resources, particularly Parker's sales coverage with end-users. Complementary product offerings and geographical presence, as well as similar corporate cultures, make for added appeal.
For Legris Industries the proposed transaction will provide additional resources to amplify the development of its operations in industrial equipment and turnkey plant engineering for specialized industries. These are currently represented by Savoye, a provider for warehousing and logistics; Keyria, serving the building materials sector; and Clextral, serving clients in food-processing and special chemicals.
Hugues Robert, Chief Executive Officer of Groupe Legris Industries, comments:
" If this potential project goes ahead, we will have good reason to be proud not only of our success in making Legris the world leader in its particular field, but also in arranging a tie-up with the world leader for the sector as a whole, on terms that are highly favorable from both the technical and human points of view. We owe this to both the strengths of the Legris Industries business model and the talent of the Legris workforce. I see this as both a magnificent tribute to the past and an extraordinary promise of further progress and long-term success."

my setup is:
Graphics: AMD Radeon XFX HD 7950
Montherboard: ASUS® M4A89TD PRO/USB3 : DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0Gb/s, CrossFireX
i'm having issues with getting my second monitor to work with my graphics card. I'm not getting any display at all throughout startup and while running.
both monitors are connected with a VGA to DVI (i've tested both monitors and both work in the first port)
i've had some trouble with driver installs which i believe it could be the issue. when installing AMD Catalyst i get a warning:
AMD APP SDK Runtime, Final Status: Fail
to be honest i'm not too sure if this has anything to do with it.
and also done a driver check which says my PCI drivers are out of date, again i'm unsure if this is the cause of the issue and i'm unable to find the correct download for these.
then someone suggested that it could just be that new graphics cards cannot support 2 VGA connections, which i find fairly strange.
any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have a mass airflow (MAF) sensor in my '95 Corvette with a small round screen inside. I've seen aftermarket sensors without the screen, which are claimed to increase airflow and horsepower. Couldn't you accomplish the same thing by removing the screen from the original sensor? What, exactly, is the advantage of an aftermarket unit? If I modify or replace the sensor, will I need to buy a programmer for the ECU, to keep the "Check Engine" light from coming on?
No name given
Via the Internet
Yes, you can increase airflow by removing the screen. However, be aware that removing the screen changes the flow rate of the meter and causes the engine's fuel mixture to become leaner. Another reason the factory put a screen there was to act as an "air straightener," to increase laminar airflow. Laminar airflow, sometimes known as streamline flow, occurs when a fluid-in this case, air-flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. Simply stated, it makes the air straight to get rid of turbulence in the intake tract. There are some factory vehicles that did not come with screens, such as the higher-performance Z06. Delphi worked hand in hand with aftermarket MAF-sensor specialist Granatelli Motorsports to devise a sensor that was ideally calibrated for screenless operation. When considering an aftermarket MAF sensor for your car, only use one that is properly calibrated.
In addition to increased airflow, an aftermarket MAF sensor also promotes freer breathing. It's been said that a stock sensor will flow enough air to support 450 hp, but that doesn't take into consideration the effort it takes for the engine to reach that power level. Think of the OEM sensor as being like a restrictor plate. The engine still has enough power to go 190 mph; it just takes three times as long to get there.
Second, the MAF sensor has a direct effect on the ECM's load table. By increasing airflow, you also advance engine timing. This is another reason why you should only use a calibrated MAF sensor, and not a stock ported or descreened unit. Otherwise, you run the chance of "leaning out" your engine (that is, running too little fuel) while simultaneously advancing the timing-a recipe for disaster. A calibrated MAF sensor will not create this problem. Finally, a calibrated MAF sensor does not require the ECM to be retuned.
I recently watched the Mecum auction on The Discovery Channel and greatly enjoyed it. I'd like to attend an auction myself, but I don't understand the buying and selling processes. Could you explain how it works?
Via the Internet
Auctions are great fun to watch, and participating in the bidding is even better. To start the process, you must register as a bidder with the auction house. The easiest route is to preregister by mail or fax, which will require a photo ID. If you prefer, you can always stand in line the day of the auction. You can find the necessary forms on each company's website.
Buyers agree to pay the ending "hammer" price, plus an auction fee. Payment is typically required within one hour of purchase. Auction fees vary. Mecum, for example, has one of the lowest commissions-6 percent for both buyers and sellers-of the major auction houses. Some auction companies have combined fees as high as 20 percent!
When buying at an auction, it's important to remember that the vehicles are sold "as is," and that all bids are final. So before you raise your hand with your bidder number, inspect your prospective buy as thoroughly as possible. Auction companies do not provide any guarantees about the authenticity or originality of the vehicles they sell.

I read some where that cataracts could be treated with stings. One of my bees stung me on the eyebrow and my eye with the cataract seems to have clearer vision. Anyone know where to sting for cataracts?
I read some where that cataracts could be treated with stings. One of my bees stung me on the eyebrow and my eye with the cataract seems to have clearer vision. Anyone know where to sting for cataracts?
Here is the old Russian recipe: 2-3 times a day in both eyes, 1-2 drops in each eye. 1:3 Honey to water proportion, eventually 1:2 or even 1:1. Light (May) honey recommended. This is to be done for 20 days, with 10 days break. Then repeat again. Avoid doing it during hot summer month.
I've used it myself through winter, my eyes were very irritated and the vision was getting worse. I can tell that it is very soothing and I feel that it really helped to improve how my eyes feel and the vision. Have to go back to this routine again. Better than any pharmacy eye drops for sure.
This is interesting. I don't have cataracts, so I can't really comment on that. However, I do wear glasses and contacts. If I wear my contacts for more than 8 or 9 hours, the next day my eyes are VERY sensitive. I can't open them outside without lots of pain. I went to the optometrist about this a year or so ago and they just said it was a bacterial or viral infection that I won't go away. I should try doing this and see what happens.
I have heard of using honey for cataracts, as described in this thread. The idea of stinging near the eyes is very concerning to me. I personally would not try that.
Check this out: www.ifood.tv/blog/honey-for-eyes
(catarats, ulcers, infections, etc.)
I have also read where a doctor sucessfully treated a women's cataracts with honey! Honey has also been used for animals for various ailments.
I just sent a jar to my mom in TX who has an appointment in July for cataracts we will see if it does anything for her eyes by then.
Just be aware that honey put in the eyes will sting for a little while and will make the eyes water. Vision will be a little blurry for a little while. I read where raw honey can be diluted a bit with water eye drops.
I told her to start with a 1:1 honey to water then 2:1 then 3:1 and see how it does.
4 years later I still have lots of trouble with that eye, blurry vision, eye boogers and floaters. Bless my bees! They know exactly where to sting. They have stung 3 more times near that eye twice on the brow, once on the lower lid. Each time everything gets better!
My mom is still using the honey and I don't think it has helped much yet. At 79 I know I would not be able to get her to agree to the bee stings by the eye
I just got sting number 8 and a big floater seems to bee disolving!
You are a brave one, Seamus! I'm glad its helping but again, stinging near the eye raises great concern for me.
Watch out for floaters - in my case, they came along with a retinal tear that fortunately was repaired before I lost sight in that eye. I'm all for natural health but am grateful to have had excellent ophthalmologists throughout my life.
Your eyes are precious - take care!
now its 8 years later 14 stings near that eye still helps
I cleared my cataracts using honey. I was told I had cataracts and I treated with honey dabbing it in the corner of my eye and dragging it to the other side. Four weeks later and I was told by a surprised Optometrist that the cataracts were gone. That was four years ago and I am still clear of cataracts.

The Goddesses
Just how usable are goddess names? Both our girls have the Roman vesrions of Greek goddesses in their names. It's a tradition we'd like to continue. Some of my favorites:
Artemis (Thea is a great nn for both)
Freja (super popular in AUS and UK)
Do these carry too much weight in their original forms? Any others you might suggest?Mama to Belle & Pip

I love greek mythology! which is why my dog's name is Athena so that's really all I can associate it with :/ But for Artemis you could use Diana which is the roman version. Personally, I think Diana is a lovely, elegant, and classic name.

Freja is popular here, though usually spelt Freya. It's very usable though not really my thing. I like Athena more but its more uncommon. I like Artemisia more than Artemis but that could be seen as making it even clunkier.
My favourite goddess names are:
Minerva (I prefer this to Athena)

GOP Might Just Stick with This "Party of White People" Thing
Since the 2012 election, most (not all, but most) Republicans have agreed that if they're going to remain viable in presidential elections in coming years, the party will have to broaden its appeal, particularly to Latino voters. There has been plenty of disagreement about how to go about this task. Especially over comprehensive immigration reform, which many Republicans see as too high a policy price to pay to achieve some uncertain measure of good will from those voters. But outside of conservative talk radio, there weren't many voices saying that they should junk the whole project. Every once in a while some voice from the past like Phyllis Schlafly would come out and bleat that the party should focus on the white folk who make up the party's beating heart, but to many it seemed like the political equivalent of your racist great aunt saying at Thanksgiving that she doesn't feel comfortable around those people.
But as immigration reform wends its tortured path through Congress, more mainstream Republicans are having second thoughts. In fact, significant backlash is brewing, not just to this bill but to the whole idea of Republicans working to appeal to minorities. Benjy Sarlin at MSNBC has an excellent article explaining how this backlash is spreading, noting that even some people who six months ago were blaming Mitt Romney's position on immigration reform for his loss are now saying that the only viable path to victory is getting turnout up among white voters.
I'll get to why this is a very bad idea in a moment, but the logic at work isn't completely crazy. After all, by now the Republican party going after minority votes is like the fast-food joint that puts a salad on its menu amid all the bacon cheeseburgers and chili fries. It's there so they can say they're offering something for people with different tastes, but they don't expect anyone to order it. And when Rush Limbaugh warns that a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants will create millions of new Democratic voters, he's probably right to a degree. Under the bill the Senate passed it would be 13 years before any undocumented immigrant could earn citizenship and vote, but as Sarlin discusses, the argument some Republicans make that Latinos are "natural conservatives" has always been weak.
After every election, a significant number of people within the losing party argue that the problem wasn't one of persuasion but one of turnout. They just didn't get enough of their voters to the polls, so they don't have to change what they're arguing. There's often some truth to it; when only 50 to 60 percent of eligible voters are coming to the polls, turnout on your side could always be higher. But the problem the GOP now faces is that the way you relate to one group of voters affects how other voters perceive you.
This was something George W. Bush and Karl Rove understood well when they built his 2000 campaign. Bush's "compassionate conservatism" consisted mostly of things like pulling African-Americans on stage with him and putting lots of pictures of Latinos on his web sites. It got him a few extra votes among minorities, but that was always just a bonus. The real target was moderate white voters, who saw it and learned, in the phrase reporters repeated over and over, that Bush was "a different kind of Republican." He wasn't like those mean-spirited old white guys who seemed to dominate the GOP, and they'd be comfortable voting for him.
By the same token, if you decide that you're going to focus your efforts on turning out the white vote, you won't only be sending a message to Latinos (and African Americans, and the fast-growing Asian American population) that you're not interested in them, you'll also be sending a message to moderate whites that your party might not be the kind of place they'd feel comfortable. This goes double for young white voters, who have grown up in a much more diverse culture than their parents and grandparents, and aren't going to be so hot on joining the Party of White People.
This is a dilemma for Republicans. Both paths are strewn with obstacles and dangers. Whichever one they choose, there's likely to be trouble.

This has been the consensus opinion of many conservative political analysts lately:
Namely, that the GOP should be more concerned about their own political election strategies -- focusing on the wants and needs of middle-aged white guys -- and be less concerned with showing compassion for the socio-economically downtrodden, the health and privacy rights of women, the woes of financially-struggling college students, or the concerns of the Hispanic community with respect to antiquated immigration policies.
It would seem that Mr. Reinhold Reince Priebus is still experiencing a bit of a messaging problem.

The problem for the Republicans is that if they don't abolish the Electoral College -- or get lots of Latinos to vote for them -- then they can kiss Texas and Florida goodbye in about twenty years. And without Texas and Florida, they are done as a political party.
Wed, 2013-07-03 08:56
Terry, I would say without Texas they are done as a National Party. I believe Texas (and I think within 8 years, not 20) will vote for the Democratic candidate for President.
The GOP will still keep hold of state and local Legislatures, Governorships, and Judiciary for a very long time, but without Texas they have no path to the White House.
Also, you are mistaken about the Electoral College. Winner-take-all EV's give outsize influence to smaller states, and create the situation we have now, where 12 "swing states" decide Presidents.
Wed, 2013-07-03 12:30
Sorry, you are absolutely correct and I should have clarified my Electoral College comment. What they actually want is to go to the Maine system. Since they have already gerrymandered their way into having a lock on the House that will last a lot longer than any simple majority in a Presidential election, the Maine system may give them the only real shot at taking and holding the White House.
And of course they keep their outsized goodie-basket of small states. Yay!

What choice do they have? The coalition they worked for 30 years to unite, the Evangelicals, the NeoCons, the billionaire families, the Angry Old White Guys, the Corporations, and the Right-to-Lifers is falling apart. Bush and Rove as you rightly note, struggled and more or less succeeded in convincing each faction they just needed to be patient, and W would deliver, and most got a little something.
But they ran out of patience. The Evangelicals want more, the Right To Life never got the repeal of RoevWade, the billionaires did not get all the tax or entitlement cuts they felt they deserved, the Corporations got a lot, but never enough, and now the Angry Old White Guys are even more angry, and they are dying off daily while minorities surge.
They relied on a world-class ideas and message machine to build that coalition in the 70's 80's and 90's, but in today's 24-hr news cycle internet savvy world, every idea gets tested, every message gets examined for facts, and especially among the young, it's what have you done for me lately.
Rinse is trying hard to help them understand what Obama's people have known for years, but it's not working, Thank God.

All the anxiety over "white voters" losing their majority is ridiculous.
The country remains pretty much steady at 75-80% "white".
Heck....the President himself is 50% "white"!
Journalists/Propagandists are full of themselves as they try to manipulate the minds of the citizenry.
Sadly, this goofy bunch has managed to influence the RNC,Inc's leadership.
they seem convinced that they have to target "hispanics" in order to win a national election.
And thats the reality.....the DNC,Inc. has recognized that by using a coalition of Urban and Suburban voters....it can control the electoral college in all the large states.....the North East, Illinois, and the West Coast. The "rural" states of the South and Midwest cease to have any importance.....
The winning strategy for the RNC,Inc......has got to be to regain California! 52 electoral votes....its game, set, match. White. black. fake hispanic. It dont matter. The RNC,Inc has to win California.
Wed, 2013-07-03 21:43
The point of this article is to have equality among countrymen and avoid racism. White people are not the only voters, so politicians must also learn to divide their attention to all Americans especially the Africans and Latinos. Great artcile anyway, thanks for posting!

Rated 3.8 out of 5Â by 10 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Tunes23 Gross I have the other lace bike shorts in nude made of 94% rayon, 6% lycra and those are amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on a black pair, so I was extremely excited to order these pointelle bike shorts in black. However, upon receipt, I immediately disliked the material. It's cheap feeling and doesn't seem very breathable. Then I tried them on . . . extremely disappointed in the fit. I ordered my usual size medium and they were severely unflattering and squeezed my thighs between the part where the lace and the bottom of the shorts meet. Perhaps I just need to go up a size, but regardless, the material is nasty. Also, the name on the tag of the shorts was not Free People. I think it said "Splash" or something in some super cheesy lettering and coloring. Anyway, Free People PLEASE bring back the other lace trim bike shorts in 94% rayon, 6% lycra in black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JenLegs LOVE I got these in a small, I am 5'4, 102 lbs and they fit like a glove. I want them in every color. They are a tad bit sheer but I bought them to wear underneath things. 4.19.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kimberlyk Perfect under dresses! I adore these shorts-- they do loosen up a tad after the first wear, but that's my only critique. They are super soft and made out of a nice light material especially perfect for the warmer months. The shorts have almost an eyelet pattern on the body which is a nice subtle touch and the lace is sturdy and doesn't show any loose ends after I've had them for months. Despite the photo, the moss is true to its name and definitely has a soft green tinge to a base color of khaki. I use them mostly for under dresses as a "just in case" running up stairs and surprise wind gusts-- the lace is a lot higher up the thigh than I imagined, so your shorts would have to be super short for the lace to peak out if you use them for layering. 11.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by AnaRosa Glad I bought I am 5"3 and 135 . I purchased in a size medium since i have some extra love in the trunk ;) . Did not give me the feared muffin top i was anticipating. I am happy I went with a size medium 3.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kimjoy love love love bought them in moss and ivory! They do stretch. I am thicker on bottom wear a size 27 jean and got a small in the these. I wear them with everything. I just hope free people brings them back inthe black! They are the prefect layering piece under shorts, dresses, tunics etc. 4.12.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by vfj Do the job I bought these to wear under sheer skirts/dresses and they'll definitely do the trick. I ordered the ivory in a medium since I don't have stick thin legs and was nervous that the lace bit on the small would cinch in on my thighs (I take anywhere from a 26-28 in pants depending on the brand). That said, the medium is quite roomy on me, so I'm wondering if I should exchange them for a small as I'm guessing they'll stretch out even more after wearing them.... Anyway, like these a lot overall, but wish they were a tad bit longer as they ride up on me in the back (I have a bum). 3.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by wolfiestrutt Nice layering piece I am 5'5", 115 lbs and bought these in ivory in a small. They fit nicely in both the waist and the thigh for me. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are a bit sheer - but used for layering under short dresses or skirts, that's fine for me! 7.27.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by LadyMantis No No NO!!! I must say that when I saw these online I instantly wanted them. I happened to be in a Free People store today and actually tried them on in my usual size (small) because the girl there said they were tts. They fit me well in the waist but the lace area squeezed my thighs and made them look HUGE. I don't have fat thighs either. I suppose if you're just going to wear these under something anyway, I guess it doesn't matter that much, but it does to me! 3.24.2012

We get kind of crazy around here at the end of a long, hard winter! But, here's the thing-folks are always asking us how they can make their own rennet. I don't know why. Maybe it's because so many home cheese makers are dyed-in-the-wool do-it-yourselfers.
So, I was going to do a post about that subject, but I soon realized that there are so many ways to make rennet that I would have to write at least 5 articles (which I will probably eventually do!)
In the cheese forums, folks frequently ask about using fig juice. I initially thought that if I did an article about that, it would only be useful to folks in Mediterranean countries. But I discovered that the US, Turkey, Greece and Spain are the main producers of dried figs. Within the US, figs are commercially grown in California, Texas, Utah, Oregon and Washington. (valleyfig.com)
So, I started my research and I found out there really isn't much information online about using fig juice to coagulate milk. In fact, pretty much everything I could find is in this article!
What is fig juice?
Fig juice/sap/latex is the milky stuff that comes off a fig tree branch in much the same way that sap comes off a maple tree. However, before you go running out to your backyard, heed this warning- it can be very toxic to folks who are sensitive to it, resulting in a terrible rash. So, be safe and wear gloves. (On the other hand, if you have a wart, you could try placing one drop of fig latex on it because supposedly that will make it disappear!)
Apparently, this is powerful stuff. In the 1988 Second Kenya National Seminar on Agroforestry, there is mention of fig juice:
Ficus latex contains a natural proteolytic enzyme, ficin, which in combination with other enzymes present, can be used to coagulate the protein in milk, similar to rennet for the preparation of cheeses and junkets, and in medicines. The clotting activity of fresh fig latex from F. carica is 30-100 times that of animal rennet.
When and where was it used as rennet?
The ancient Romans knew about it:
Soldiers would have known they could use the juice of the fig tree as a rennet from the Iliad. For example, Homer writes in book five when Ares has been speared and blood flows from his wound:
"even as the juice of the fig speedily maketh to grow the white milk that is liquid but is quickly curdled as a man stirreth it, even so swiftly healed the furious Ares." (romanarmy.net)
16th century Italians appear to have used it in addition to their calf rennet:
One takes six parts of this rennet (veal) and two of strong acid and one of milk from fig leaves and one mixes it well together, and this mixture has a miraculous effect, it makes that the cheese made with this rennet never spoils; because the milk of the fig and the vinegar conserves it from every putrefaction; it is like aqua vita what keeps wine and doesn't let it become corrupt, and these are the ultimate and grand secrets of nature; and if one well attends to matters of little importance nevertheless in these one finds the high and great rational secrets. (From a translation of 16th Century Italian Cheese Recipes at florilegium.org)
Relatively recently, there seems to be renewed interest in it:
One study (2002) by the Food Engineering Dept. at Gaziantep University in Turkey compares cheese made with calf rennet to cheese made with fig juice:
The results of triangle tests indicated that the difference between Gaziantep cheese made with rennet and enzyme preparation obtained from ion-exchange chromatography, was not significant (P < 0.05). Organoleptic tests showed that there was no significant difference in acidity, bitterness, creaminess, off-flavour and graininess with the LSD method (P < 0.05). It was concluded that fig tree latex is suitable as a chymosin substitute, and could be used in Gaziantep cheese production.
Another 2010 study in the International Journal of Food Properties was done with ewe's milk and the results were similar:
... Plant coagulant induced shorter gelation time compared to chymosin however required longer time for restructuration (end of coagulation). The coagulum obtained with the latex of Ficus carica (fig juice) had a higher yield, owing to its high water retention capacity. With the exception of color, the overall sensory attributes did not show significant differences among coagulants. (informaworld.com)
It's not all good news:
Kosikowski in Cheese and Fermented Milk Foods, p.393 is not particularly encouraging. About making rennet:
How is it used?
There are many different ways to extract and use the fig latex:
The ancient sources, in this case Aristotle, even tell us the way fig juice, in ancient Greek opos, was harvested:
"The juices flowing from an incision in green bark is caught on some wool. The wool is then washed and rinsed into a little milk, and if this be mixed with other milk it curdles it." (romanarmy.net)
According to a study published in the Pakistan Journal of Nutrition (2003):
Sikma cheese is mainly produced from sheep milk using rennet within 1-2 hr. Fig juice had been used previously for curd formation for sikma cheese. Fig juice was dried on a cloth and stored, when required it was dissolved in warm milk and then used in cheese production. This method has been completely abandoned now.
The Center for New Crops & Plant Products, at Purdue University mentions this in their fig section:
Latex: The latex contains caoutchouc (2.4%), resin, albumin, cerin, sugar and malic acid, rennin, proteolytic enzymes, diastase, esterase, lipase, catalase, and peroxidase. It is collected at its peak of activity in early morning, dried and powdered for use in coagulating milk to make cheese and junket. From it can be isolated the protein-digesting enzyme ficin which is used for tenderizing meat, rendering fat, and clarifying beverages.
In a lighter vein, here's an entry from 2010 in the Cheese Forum, in answer to the question of whether fig juice can be used as rennet:
Yes, you need to collect the sap and use that. It's a milky white sort of liquid. A good way is to cut some twigs, make lateral cuts to pierce the outer layers, and soak in water. You don't need to use very much - ficin in a strong enzyme. Something like 4-5 drops of the pure sap will set up a gallon of milk.
It's easier to use leaves if you have them. You can cut the large leaves and drip the sap into a catch vessel.
And, finally, this entry in the fig section at vitamins-minerals-supplements.org:
For preparing the rennet, the latex is collected in the early morning hours when both the yield and the enzyme activity are high. A solid preparation may be obtained from the latex (which contain rennin, proteolytic enzymes, diastase, esterase, lipase, catalase and peroxidase apart from sugar, malic acid etc.) by direct drying in vacuum where a white solid is obtained. One c.c. of the latex yields 0.10 to 0.15 g of the dry powder which retains 90-95% of the activity originally present in the latex for several months at room temperature, more if ascorbic acid is added.
This is tentative, at best, but if you really want to try it:
1. Put on rubber or latex gloves.
|Used with permission - romanarmy.net
3. Transfer it to your milk by one of 3 methods:
a. Squeeze a few drops directly into your milk if the sap is really running.
b. Rub it into a piece of sterilized cloth and rinse it out in your milk.
c. Stir your milk with a cut branch.
4. Let the milk set for up to 12 hours, checking it periodically for the clean break.
5. Take pictures and let us know how this went! (email@example.com)

What's a lanyard? Well, that's a reasonable question. In conference and tradeshow jargon, it's the 'necklace' that holds the name badge so you don't have to pin it on a shirt. You've probably seen lanyards holding keys (especially helpful for those of us who can't keep track of them).
For the tradeshow you are organizing, these are a great item to hand out with the registration packet and name badges. Attendees will put them on right away and keep them on for the duration of the convention --- all the while showing off the convention name or logo.
Do you already know what you want and want it quick? Call us at 1-888-788-0101 and let's start now. We'll even show you which items ship the quickest.

PET Lanyards 1" X 36"
PET Lanyards 1/2" X 36"

Okaloosa County commissioners are considering giving a 10-year tax exemption to a tourism business eyeing a location in Destin.
The board voted Tuesday to host a public hearing Feb. 19 on the proposal, which was presented by the Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County.
"We have a unique opportunity here to provide a diversification to our tourism industry," Kay Rasmussen, the EDC's interim president, told commissioners. "It will provide strength in our shoulder season."
The company's name has not been released because it is afforded confidentiality under state law. The EDC has dubbed the company "Project UpUnder."
Several new commercial projects are in the works in the Destin area, but officials would not confirm a link between Project UpUnder and any of them.
One of those projects is a possible Dolly Parton-backed entertainment enterprise.
In early January, county planners confirmed that four parcels of land along Commons Boulevard and U.S. Highway 98 had been purchased by two companies, CF SYN LLC and World Choice Investments LLC. The parcels range from 2.3 acres to 6.9 acres.
World Choice Investments is affiliated with The Dollywood Co., which operates the Dixie Stampede and Pirates Voyage dinner theaters in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Branson, Mo. According to an online LinkedIn profile, World Choice Investments does business as Dixie Stampede LLC, Pirates Voyage LLC and Great Choice Investments LLC.
Under the EDC's proposal, the company would be exempt from tangible personal property taxes and real property taxes for 10 years. That exemption would total an estimated $316,304.
But does not mean the company would be "tax-free" during that time, Rasmussen said. It would be required to pay school, parks and fire district taxes.
Rasmussen said the company in return would open with a minimum of 67 jobs and expand to 350 positions within five years. The average wage would be about $40,400, she added.
"Their capital investment will be $23 million into the economy," Rasmussen told the board.
County Commissioner Nathan Boyles said he understands the purpose of confidentiality but wants the company to waive the requirement so residents can be aware of the details.
"What I feel like I'm going to need … is the ability to hear from my constituency about what they think about this particular use of these benefits," Boyles said at the meeting. "I won't be able to support the project unless the individuals who are bringing it forward are willing to waive that confidentiality requirement and allow us to have that public discussion."
Boyles said residents should know exactly how the tax exemption is being used.
"It's my opinion that this is fundamentally different from how we've used these tax advantages in the past," he said.
Commissioner Dave Parisot said he supports the project.
"This is a great job opportunity," he said. "It's going to help our tourism year-round."
