Next train buttons deleted!
I've been using this app for years since I moved to DC and it's been amazing but now you can't access the next train options! Especially the next train button up top for the first stop. Please fix!! Other than that it's a great app
Love this app
Used this app for a year now and just realized that if you click on the nearest Metro you can see the next train arrival times. Love this app!
Not compatible with my iPhone 6
I used this app all the time on my iPhone 4S but since I upgraded to a 6 it is useless to me in that I am unable to hold the screen down to see the "next train" button to press it at the same time. Hope this gets remedied soon.

Rail Transit and Its Influence on Land Use: A Dallas Case Study
Date: August 2001
Creator: Farrow, Melissa A.
Description: Mass transit investments continue to be utilized in many cities as means of dealing with various transportation issues. In Dallas Texas, light rail transit was developed with the hopes of encouraging compact and orderly growth. This research uses the DART system as a case study in examining transportation/land use relationships in Dallas. As such, this thesis reviews past research that examined transit systems impacts on urban areas, analyzes historical changes in land use pattern development around the existing twenty stations of the DART light rail starter system, and summarizes the progression of land use trends in the transit corridor as they relate to DART impacts. Results of this study suggest that DART's light rail system has been an effective tool used in achieving the transportation and land use goals for the region. Finally, recommendations are presented with respect to what can be expected for future light rail development in Dallas.

The Role of Knowledge and Attitude in Residential Irrigation Efficiency
Date: August 2012
Creator: Nickerson, Joel
Description: Residential irrigation efficiency is a long-term concern for any community that faces water supply stress. When ability to raise water prices is constrained, public education and conservation programs can produce reduced water usage. Understanding the factors behind residential irrigation efficiency allows the design of more effective conservation campaigns. Combining site-specific water budgets with usage data for four hundred homes in North Texas enables quantifying efficient irrigation behavior. A survey of homeowners tests for the presence of conservation-positive attitudes and the knowledge required to implement those attitudes. The influence of neighbors' watering habits is investigated using spatial clustering tools. Findings are analyzed in the context of an attitude, knowledge, and habit model of conservation behavior. The presence of automatic irrigation systems, small irrigated areas, and having knowledge of the amount that one waters one's lawn are found to contribute to more intensive irrigation. Mixed evidence for small-scale clustering in irrigation intensity is presented.

Searching for hidden treasure: The identification of under-represented gifted and talented students.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Tucker, Tammy Newman
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of staff development on the nomination and identification of culturally diverse and/or economically disadvantaged students for gifted programs. Teachers kindergarten through fifth grade from ten districts (N = 100) received 30 hours of staff development in gifted education. The experimental group (n = 50) received a specialized version of the training. The control group (n = 50) received the standard training provided by the Education Service Center. Teachers in the experimental group completed three Stages of Concern questionnaires at the beginning and end of the training and in the fall. Two Levels of Use interviews were also conducted, one in the fall and one in the spring. Innovation configurations were developed utilizing interview results. A repeated measures analysis of variance was conducted to determine differences in concerns of teachers over time. The results revealed growth, however, not of a significant level. A paired-samples t-test was conducted to determine differences in levels of use of the instructional strategies presented in the training. Again, results revealed growth in classroom application of strategies; however, the amount of growth was not significant. A paired-samples t-test was conducted on the components of the innovation configurations. ...

Selecting Optimal Residential Locations Using Fuzzy GIS Modeling
Date: December 2006
Creator: Tang, Zongpei
Description: Integrating decision analytical techniques in geographic information systems (GIS) can help remove the two primary obstacles in spatial decision making: inaccessibility to required geographic data and difficulties in synthesizing various criteria. I developed a GIS model to assist people seeking optimal residential locations. Fuzzy set theory was used to codify criteria for each factor used in evaluating residential locations, and weighted linear combination (WLC) was employed to simulate users' preferences in decision making. Three examples were used to demonstrate the applications in the study area. The results from the examples were analyzed. The model and the ArcGIS Extension can be used in other geographic areas for residential location selection, or in other applications of spatial decision making.

Shoreline Erosion at Mad Island Marsh Preserve, Matagorda County, Texas
Date: August 2005
Creator: Mangham, Webster
Description: The Nature Conservancy of Texas (TNC) is concerned with the amount of shoreline erosion taking place at its Mad Island Marsh Preserve (MIMP), located in Matagorda Bay, Texas. The MIMP is a 7,100 acre nature preserve that borders the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and is eroded by waves generated by barge traffic. TNC is concerned that erosion will shorten Mad Island Bayou which may increase the salinity of Mad Island Lake; with detrimental effects on lake and marsh habitats. This study uses GPS technology to map the current shoreline and GIS to determine ten year erosion rates (1995 - 2005). Results show that erosion is occurring at various rates along the shoreline as well as along the oxbow bend in Mad Island Bayou.

Site Formation Processes and Bone Preservation Along the Trinity River Basin, North Central Texas
Date: August 2013
Creator: Colvin, Jessica
Description: This thesis presents the results of geoarchaeological investigations of several archaeological sites along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in north central Texas. Archaeological data recorded from mitigation excavations in Denton and Cooke counties were analyzed to understand the geologic impacts on faunal preservation resulting from site formation processes. The faunal assemblages are highly fragmented, even in settings known for good preservation. A combined approach using geoarchaeological and taphonomic techniques was implemented to examine how fragmentation, evidence of soil weathering, and differential preservation were impacted by differing geologic conditions throughout the river basin. Intrasite and intersite results of the sites show that a great deal of variability of faunal preservation is present at difference scales of analysis.

Soil Characteristics Estimation and Its Application in Water Balance Dynamics
Date: December 2008
Creator: Chen, Liping
Description: This thesis is a contribution to the work of the Texas Environmental Observatory (TEO), which provides environmental information from the Greenbelt Corridor (GBC) of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. The motivation of this research is to analyze the short-term water dynamic of soil in response to the substantial rainfall events that occurred in North Texas in 2007. Data collected during that year by a TEO soil and weather station located at the GBC includes precipitation, and soil moisture levels at various depths. In addition to these field measurements there is soil texture data obtained from lab experiments. By comparing existing water dynamic models, water balance equations were selected for the study as they reflect the water movement of the soil without complicated interrelation between parameters. Estimations of water flow between soil layers, infiltration rate, runoff, evapotranspiration, water potential, hydraulic conductivity, and field capacity are all obtained by direct and indirect methods. The response of the soil at field scale to rainfall event is interpreted in form of flow and change of soil moisture at each layer. Additionally, the analysis demonstrates that the accuracy of soil characteristic measurement is the main factor that effect physical description. Suggestions for model ...

Spatial Analysis of Hiv/aids Survival in Dallas and Harris Counties, Texas
Date: May 2012
Creator: Heald, Stephanie
Description: More Texans are living with HIV infection than ever before. in fact, there has been a 6% increase annually, since 2002. This trend is not a result of increased HIV/AIDS incidence, but rather improving life expectancy of those living with HIV. Due to significant advances in HIV/AIDS testing, prevention, and treatment, individuals with HIV are living longer than ever before. However, throughout the state, the life expectancy of a person infected with HIV/AIDS varies spatially. This study investigates and attempts to explain the spatial distribution of HIV/AIDS survival rates by examining neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics. the results suggest that, contrary to expectation, the lowest survival rates occur, not in extreme poverty areas, but rather in moderate SES areas. Too rich to qualify for free treatments, but not rich enough to afford purchasing such treatments, the middle income living with HIV infection are caught between the cracks. the results provide important input for targeting public health interventions to improve HIV/AIDS survival.

Spatial Analysis of North Central Texas Traffic Fatalities 2001-2006
Date: December 2010
Creator: Rafferty, Paula S.
Description: A traditional two dimensional (planar) statistical analysis was used to identify the clustering types of North Central Texas traffic fatalities occurring in 2001-2006. Over 3,700 crash locations clustered in ways that were unlike other researched regions. A two dimensional (x and y coordinates) space was manipulated to mimic a one dimensional network to identify the tightest clustering of fatalities in the nearly 400,000 crashes reported from state agencies from 2003-2006. The roadway design was found to significantly affect crash location. A one dimensional (linear) network analysis was then used to measure the statistically significant clustering of flow variables of after dark crashes and daylight crashes. Flow variables were determined to significantly affect crash location after dark. The linear and planar results were compared and the one dimensional, linear analysis was found to be more accurate because it did not over detect the clustering of events on a network.

Spatial Analysis of Teen Births in North Central Texas
Date: December 2001
Creator: Donkor, Faustina Fosua
Description: The United States has the highest teen birth rate among western industrialized countries and the highest levels of pregnancy among adolescents (Alan Guttmacher Institute, 1994). While the rate of teen births is high throughout the country, considerable variations exist between and within regions. Texas is one of the 5 leading states with the highest teen birth rates to mothers less than 18 years of age. This research provides a detailed analysis of births to mothers aged between 10 and 19 years in North Central Texas counties. Due to the modifiable area unit problem and to provide a finer geographical scale of analysis, teen births in Dallas County zip codes were examined as a special case study. Statistical and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis reveal that race/ethnicity, education and income are significant factors in teen births in the region. Single parent households and receipt of public assistance were not statistically significant. Suggestions for reducing vulnerability to teen births are presented.

With landmarks being redeveloped for new use, such as the partial conversion of the Verizon Building at 140 West Street, and industrial neighborhoods repositioning themselves as fashion and "foodie" destinations, the landscape of the city is noticeably changing.
A universal decision crucial to residents across the country is the choice to rent or to buy a home. In New York City where both rental and purchase prices are not cheap, the decision can be haunted by uncertainty.

Her Story is a bold and largely successful experiment in interactive crime fiction.
Rocksteady's gorgeous-looking third Arkham game refines its open-world format a bit and lets you drive a whole hell of a lot of Batmobile.
It's squid kids and ink blasting abound in Nintendo's exceptionally fun new online shooter.
Game »
consists of 9 releases.
Released Aug 31, 1997
A term that can refer to either games which feature 3D polygonal graphics but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane, or earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Alert is a state a game may enter after the player has been overtly detected by enemies, and often brings increased enemy opposition (in numbers, aggression, etc.) while a cooldown timer or meter appears by which the player can gauge the expiration of Alert.
Anthropomorphism is the concept of an object, concept or character that has human qualities or traits, such as speech, a level of intelligence similar or higher than a human's and self consciousness. "Anthro" means "of human" and related to the concept of humanity.
Usually yellow and black striped, these flying, flower loving loving insects can come singly or in a swarm. A major producer of honey and stings.
Blindness is an affliction that robs a person of their sight. In games it usually causes physical attacks/projectiles to miss, but magical spells aren't as widely affected.
In video games, breaking the fourth wall occurs when a game becomes aware of its nature as a game, or when a character directly acknowledges the player.
Crouching is an essential part of many shooters and plastformers, and can be useful to stay under cover and avoiding incoming projectiles
When characters shed tears - often due to extreme sadness.
A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
Cyberpunk is an aesthetic choice that is employed in many different media, it focuses on technology and how that technology encroaches on our natural, daily lives.
Some games just won't settle for laughs. Some games make you want to cringe as you're busting a gut.
Darkness is used in games to restrict access, increase tension, or just to set a mood. Often the player has access to a light source that can mitigate its effect.
Deadly Gas is used in many games as an obstacle and usually causes the player's health to degenerate over time.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
When a prominent character is voiced by a member of the development team. The authors Clive Barker and Harlan Ellison are good examples of this.
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
Digitized sprites, popularized in the early 90s, were a form of graphics that used footage of real actors that were then made digital and put into the game.
Digital distribution method for PC games. Direct2Drive is maintained and owned by Gamefly Digital Inc.
Any game that represents a society noticeably worse or less desirable compared to those in the present. This can relate to kinds of political and economic organisation, excessive human suffering, social problems caused by technology, or as a result of an apocalyptic event.
The 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Georgia World Congress Center and Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia on June 19-21.
Electricity is commonly used as a damage-introducing element causing inanimate objects to become harmful (electrified water, floors, cables, etc). It can also refer to a power wielded by characters that generates sparks, is conductive to metal surfaces, forks or branches, and is often blue in color.
Missions during which players are tasked with protecting a non-playable character or object from harm until a certain goal is met.
To elude, escape, or get away from. Some games require you to escape from some people or things to perform some objective or avoid death.
Sometimes, enemies will explode (usually when shot at) and will cause damage to the player.
Concept where everything you need isn't always spelled out for you on the map. Sometimes even the map is not there till you go explore it.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Falling Debris, rocks, or other items that may possibly cause damage to the player character.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
Flip screen (or flick-screen) describes a way of dividing the game world into fixed screens, displayed one at a time. It's commonly found in 2D platformers, especially prior to the 16-bit era.

David Dreier to leave Congress: Is California losing its clout?
Some worry that David Dreier's retirement means reduced clout for California on Capitol Hill. But others say an anti-pork atmosphere in Washington means their concerns are overblown.
J. Scott Applewhite/AP
Los Angeles
Republican David Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee, added his name Tuesday to the list of veteran┬ĀCalifornia┬Ālawmakers who are retiring from Congress, causing some in┬ĀCalifornia┬Āto fret about the stateŌĆÖs lost clout on Capitol Hill.
But others, pointing to changes in Congress and a spirited anti-pork atmosphere pervading┬ĀWashington, say those concerns are overblown.
Congressman Dreier, the most powerful of the six┬ĀCalifornia┬Ārepresentatives who are retiring, cited the historically low public approval rating for Congress as among the reasons he would not seek reelection.
Another reason that Dreier and others have decided not to run is that, as a result of┬ĀCaliforniaŌĆÖs recent redistricting, they were facing new or different constituencies or new opponents. His home was placed in a majority Hispanic district where President Obama defeated John McCain in the last presidential race.
ŌĆ£Seniority is almost everything on Capitol Hill, and because of redistricting and retirements,┬ĀCalifornia┬Ācould lose well over 200 years of incumbentsŌĆÖ experience in the House,ŌĆØ says Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political scientist at the┬ĀSchool┬Āof┬ĀPolicy, Planning, and Development at the┬ĀUniversity┬Āof┬ĀSouthern California, in an e-mail.
With twice the seniority of any other state, California has the most to lose, some say. Moreover, California voters' recent decision to put redistricting in the hands of a citizen's commission ŌĆō instead of leaving it up to state legislators themselves ŌĆō puts the state at a political disadvantage, they add. While other legislators in other states still take politics into account in redistricting, California's citizen's commission does not.┬Ā
But the other side of the argument is that the workings of Congress have changed so much that these losses donŌĆÖt mean what they might have in the past.
ŌĆ£Given the combination of extremely tight budgets, the ban on traditional earmarks, and the popular and press focus on ŌĆśwaste and pork,ŌĆÖ no one holding a committee or subcommittee chair today can steer as much federal largess as in the past to his or her district and state,ŌĆØ says Jack Johannes, professor of political science at Villanova University in an e-mail. ŌĆ£They still can and will, but itŌĆÖs a lot harder now than ever. That diminishes the effect of losing key congressmen who hold high ranking committee positions.ŌĆØ
Other Calilfornia members of the House of Representatives that have decided not to return to Congress are Jerry Lewis (first elected in 1979), Elton Gallegly and Wally Herger (both in 1987) Lynn Woolsey and Bob Filner (1993), and Dennis Cardoza (2003).
Professor Johannes says that committee and some subcommittee chairs ŌĆō the traditional source of power ŌĆō no longer are based on seniority in the House, a tradition that was broken in the 1970s and crushed by Newt Gingrich in 1995. He says both parties since then have regularly skipped seniority to reward party loyalty, ideological purity, and fundraising ability in appointing chairs.
ŌĆ£Both parties in the House limit the terms of committee chairs and ranking minority members, forcing rotation,ŌĆØ Johannes says. ŌĆ£Thus holding positions of power┬Āis less stable today than ever, and probably less meaningful. Sooner or later,┬ĀCalifornia┬Āwas bound to lose some influence associated with holding key positions.ŌĆØ
Still there are those that hold that Dreier, in particular, will be missed for what he could bring directly to the state.
ŌĆ£David Dreier was particularly effective in getting emergency help following the extreme rains and mudslides of 2005,ŌĆØ says Jack Pitney, professor of government at┬ĀClaremont┬ĀMcKenna┬ĀCollege. But he says more important than any specific project is DreierŌĆÖs operating style.┬Ā
ŌĆ£He is a genuine believer in deliberative democracy, who has been willing to criticize his own party leadership for shortchanging substantive policy debate,ŌĆØ says Professor Pitney. He spotlights a Dreier quote used by Elizabeth Drew in her 1996 book about the GOP takeover of Congress: ŌĆ£The thing that has troubled me about the whole Hundred Days concept is that weŌĆÖre trying to do too much too quickly. WeŌĆÖre going against the Founding Fathers. They wanted us to be deliberative,ŌĆØ said Dreier.
Others are glad to see him go.
ŌĆ£If you do the math,┬ĀCalifornia┬Āis not getting its fair share of federal funds now,ŌĆØ says Barbara OŌĆÖConnor, director emeritus of the Institute for Study of Politics and Media at┬ĀCalifornia┬ĀState┬ĀUniversity,┬ĀSacramento. Ticking off a list of appropriations ŌĆō for TARP, high-speed rail, water projects, unemployment ŌĆō Professor OŌĆÖConnor says ŌĆ£the real question is what have they brought us. The whole point of redistricting was to change how bad it is and this is working.ŌĆØ
Kyle Kondik, house editor at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, points out that┬ĀCalifornia┬Āstill has plenty of strong names that can do the heavy lifting: Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, Daryl Issa, Kevin McCarthy, Dana Rohrabacher, George Miller, and Dan Lungren.
ŌĆ£If the goal is to bring back money for your district, all these guys are high on the food chain and know how to take care of their own,ŌĆØ Professor Kondik says. ŌĆ£And of course, a lot depends on exactly who the new guys are and how they learn to work together.ŌĆØ
On this point, Johannes says historical context is important, as is the natural ebb and flow of political power over time. For instance, he mentions the 1946 congressional elections, when ŌĆ£safe, conservative Southern Democrats" survived but northern liberals lost.
ŌĆ£That meant, given the general electoral safety in the South, that southerners rather quickly moved up the seniority ladder to become chairs of a disproportionate number of ŌĆ" committees. They dominated committees into the seventies.┬ĀWisconsin┬Āand┬ĀPennsylvania, once had powerful House and Senate delegations, but they departed, via retirement mostly, costing those states influence. The same is true for a number of states over the past 50 or 70 years. ItŌĆÖs inevitable.ŌĆØ

Natural Resources Conservation Service in Kentucky is accepting applications for the Grassland Reserve Program (GRP). Although GRP applications are continually accepted, the application ranking cutoff date for 2011 is March 31. Applications received after March 31, 2011 will be deferred until the next ranking cycle.
The Grassland Reserve Program is a voluntary program offering landowners and operators the opportunity to protect grazing uses and related conservation values by conserving and restoring grassland resources.
Residents of Kentucky can receive 10 free flowering trees by joining the Arbor Day Foundation.
By becoming a member of the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation, you will receive two white flowering dogwoods, two flowering crabapples, two Washington hawthorns, two American redbuds and two goldenraintrees.
"These beautiful trees will give your home in Kentucky lovely flowers with pink, yellow and white colors," said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation.
On a day like today, when it's cold and snowy outside, soup is the thing I want.
I was talking to a friend on the phone this morning, and she said she was making vegetable soup, so I got that in my head and immediately started chopping onions. (I always say that every recipe I make starts with "sauté an onion.")
I didn't use a recipe, but it came together pretty easily and before I knew it, I had added eight vegetables plus some chicken I had left over from dinner the previous night.

The one at the back is much quieter as it is away from the street. There is a choice of what to eat for breakfast which was always delicious and served in the pretty courtyard. Although the hostel is social it's not a party hostel but there is a really good bar - cafe no se opposite the hostel. The family that run the hostel are very accommodating and friendly and can arrange tours and taxis as you wish.

Rule and Ruin
When and why did the Republican Party tip so far to the right?
Radio personality Rush Limbaugh would have found himself marginalized in the 1950s Republican Party. Now he is the de facto leader of the GOP. Any politician hoping to rise in the party must appear on LimbaughŌĆÖs show and pay respects to the great arsonist of the airwaves.┬Ā
It was not always this way. As Geoffrey Kabaservice writes in his marvelous new book Rule and Ruin, moderates and liberals were once far more powerful in Republican ranks than were conservatives. ŌĆ£It is the only in the last decade or so that movement conservatism finally succeeded in silencing, co-opting, repelling, or expelling nearly every competing strain of Republicanism from the party, to the extent that the terms ŌĆśliberal RepublicanŌĆÖ or ŌĆśmoderateŌĆÖ RepublicanŌĆÖ have practically become oxymorons,ŌĆØ Kabaservice writes. Now, cooperating with Democrats and deviating from conservative orthodoxy is electoral suicide for a Republican leader. Witness the failure of former Utah Governor Jon HuntsmanŌĆÖs presidential campaign or the many right-wing primary challenges to Maine Senator Olympia Snowe.
Moderate and liberal Republicans are now derogatorily nicknamed RINOS ŌĆō Republicans In Name Only. How did they become as rare in Washington as those other rhinos ŌĆō rhinoceroses? According to Kabaservice, the answer lies partly in the failures of the Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford administrations. With the personal discrediting of Nixon came the political discrediting of the centrist branches of the Republican Party in which Nixon had roots as EisenhowerŌĆÖs vice-president. Similarly, FordŌĆÖs loss in 1976 to moderate Democratic governor Jimmy Carter in the quest for the presidency left open the door to right-wing icon Ronald ReaganŌĆÖs ascension.
Many other factors interceded, of course, and some of have been exhaustively detailed in other works. The rise of the neoconservative and Christianist movements, a backlash against the civil rights movement and the welfare state, and a suburban middle class terrified of crime and disorder are among them. Kabaservice unwisely downplays the role race played in segregating the two parties; when Southern Democrats defected to the Republicans in response to their old partyŌĆÖs embrace of black equality, each party essentially became ideologically monolithic. Democrats were liberals, and Republicans were conservatives. Moderates had nowhere to go.┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā
ŌĆ£Rule and RuinŌĆØ recalls the minutiae of their downfall. No other book has chronicled the movement so thoroughly or eloquently. KarabserviceŌĆÖs research is magnificent, as he digs into numerous archives and personal diaries. He provides a helpful taxonomy dividing moderate, liberal/progressive, conservative, and Taft-stalwart factions in the Republican Party, but focuses on the moderates, who gained the Republican nomination in every presidential election from 1944 to 1960. Kabaservice performs yeomanŌĆÖs work in resurrecting what was once a vibrant movement devoted to fiscal prudence, pragmatism, and multilateralism.
Recalled is the tragically short-lived Advance magazine, which attempted to push back against National Review for control of the Republican Party. Honorable men like Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., William Scranton, George Romney (yes, that Romney), and Nelson Rockefeller led the party as much as Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan did. The centrist think tank known as the Ripon Society, now rarely heard from, was once a leading forum of ideas in political debate. Kabaservice shows why they all mattered, and why they were ultimately defeated.
ŌĆ£Rule and RuinŌĆØ also examines the progressive aspects of NixonŌĆÖs presidency that are often overlooked in the shadow of Vietnam and Watergate. Nixon established negotiations with the Soviet Union and China, created the Environmental Protection Agency, and introduced a health care plan that was far to the left of Obamacare. Some left-wingers have in retrospect called Nixon AmericaŌĆÖs last liberal president. Kabaservice is more nuanced and astute than that, but he provides ample evidence for the claim that Nixon offered a hodgepodge of policies and ideas that included cherished Democratic plans.
At a time when the Republican Party seems bereft of constructive ideas about how to fix AmericaŌĆÖs many problems, ŌĆ£Rule and RuinŌĆØ offers a reminder that the GOP once stockpiled ideological variety and reasonable personalities. Perhaps it will be once again in the future. All it has to do is to reclaim its past.┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā

Menomonee Falls — Knees were bouncing. popcorn was getting eaten nervously and the drinks were flowing at Trysting Place Pub during the FIFA World Cup soccer game. Though USA's 2-1 loss against Belgium was met with a collective sigh of disappointment, an overall good time was had by all.
"It's just been so exciting," said Barb Connell, who was the manager on duty during the 3 p.m. game July 1. "Everyone has been coming to watch these games here with such a contagious enthusiasm; it's brought this whole competition to life."
The local pub and grill has seen increased patronage during the tournament, Connell said, especially when the U.S. team played.
That was certainly the case as Team USA battled Belgium. A busier than usual happy hour was well attended by groups who came right from their jobs at neighboring businesses, including Kohl's and FIS.
"It's a unique thing that doesn't happen very often," said Tracey Johnson, who was there with a group of FIS employees who left work a little earlier than usual to come watch the game. "I'm not usually a fan of soccer, but seeing the United States compete at this level in such a challenging game has been fun to watch."
It was her co-worker John Elembaas' idea to get the group together to watch the game at Trysting. Forty years playing soccer himself has taught him it is definitely a challenging sport to play, which Elembaas said makes it that much more fun to watch.
His arms were among many to shoot into the air as Clint Dempsey made numerous attempts at the Belgium goal. A collective round of screaming rang through the air each time Tim Howard defended the USA goal. His record-setting number of saves was among the things that kept the folks at Trysting Place until the nail-biting finish in overtime.
"It's been a good run, especially since I don't think anyone thought (Team USA) would make it this far," Elembaas said. "We have a strong team with well-rounded players though, so I'm not surprised."

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 5/8/13
Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler headline a handful of budding young pitchers who hope to one day bring the New York Mets organization back to relevance again. Harvey, in his first full season, is doing his best to do just that–as exemplified by his near-perfect, nine shutout frames in Tuesday night's walk-off victory by the Whitestone kid, Mike Baxter–and Wheeler is knocking on the door to crack the big-league rotation soon enough. As both develop, the pair continuously leads a youth movement in the organization that look to achieve what this franchise has yet to celebrate in 27 years; a world championship. Not only someone who was a key cog of a homegrown Mets squad and an integral part of that champion-1986 club, but also someone who interacts and analyses the likes of Harvey and the team on a daily basis, Ron Darling offers intricate insight on these young arms and his thoughts on their first months of the 2013 season thus far. Sitting on the back patio of the Irish Circle Tavern ...

Includes case.

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
This new Line-up of Epi re-issues really fill the void that other manufactors have left. Classic styling, very well constructed, solid trons, stable tuning, good to great fret feel, & really well done finishs. Who'd ever thought Chinese made Epiphones would become the new "Cool". I've been playing for over 50 years, got some great old gear & have more then found a place in my stage "line-up" for these new Epiphones. If you haven't tried a new Crestwood through a Blues Jr... You should... Great spank & can honestly say... This re-ish Crestwood out performs my mid-60s... Maybe not as vintage looking, but at the rate it's getting used, it'll gather that worn in look in no time... As 50-60 hours of play time has given it a nice "played" feel already. Hey, remember? a little chicken greese is WAY better for your rosewood fretboard then "spray-on" treatments.

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
This is a pretty fun guitar...and for the money it was a steal.
I have never played a vintage Crestwood so I can not compare to a real '62 though I understand this may have an improved trem system.
This particular guitar is comfortable/well balanced, and played well out of the box. No truss rod tweaking needed and intonation was fine. Fit and finish are fine with no blems. Neck is smooth, action is low and trem goes back to tune. The mini humbuckers have some bite and are fairly versatile clean or through gain.
I understand this was a limited run. perhaps Epiphone will make them available again as they really are fun, light and comfortable. All the case candy was a nice plus...as was the case, which is very well made. Good job Epiphone.

just look at it, a real piece of playable art, and the trem arm problems have been corrected. Works great with sound effect pedals, pedalboard, tremtone tremolo unit sounds great, both sharp and flat, comes back to pitch OK...just look at it, you know you want it... nice case too..

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
I originally learned about this guitar when Prince borrowed and then threw Captain Kirk's original vintage one up in the air and broke the headstock. I had been thinking of getting an SG, but like the looks of this one better. Then MF lowered the price over Thanksgiving so I ordered one.
It played ok out of the box, but needed some small adjustments at the truss rod and bridge. I also put graphite into the nut grooves. The tuning stability is pretty good, good enough that I've already gigged it twice. Still needs some minor work, possibly a run through at the nut of 1000 grit sand paper. Tremelo is not for dive bombs, but I would think that someone who is going for the 60's vibe would know that. The body has figured laminate on the top and back, but the joints are well-hidden.
The pick up selector did not work on mine. I opened up the back control plate and noticed that two of the pots were touching. Moved them and that solved the problem.
Overall, I can't believe how well it plays and looks for 3 bills. That is less than they cost in 1962!

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
I was lucky enough to purchase a new Crestwood in cherry red with HSC and all the associated case candy on Thanksgiving Day; received it 12/02/14. Yeah, I had to clean up the frets, feed the fret-board, set intonation, adjust the bridge & truss rod and she's now a keeper. (I know some buyers are always complaining "it should be setup perfect out of the box", but to me that is as silly as saying "I had to adjust the mirrors, seats, and radio stations in my brand new car!")
I used to own a 1960's era Epiphone Casino with a stock Tremotone that would never stay in tune. And I prefer this modified version with the Bigsby type spring that resolves the original tuning instability vs. the original internal torsion spring. And I am not experiencing any strings popping out of their saddles. (Will also mention that the original Tremotone had the same proportional string roller design that did not change.) What I don't like about this trem is when you point the arm to the rear for non-use, the other end hits my picking hand palm. I will probably just move the arm to the farthest mounting hole as a solution, or just adjust my picking hand.
Mine has a multi-piece Mahogany body with veneer on both the top and back (looks like ribbon grain Sapele veneer). Very nice looking guitar and much nicer than other Crestwood reissues I have seen without the veneer caps. I will admit I am not a fan of headstock scarf joints (ahhh, except Bob Taylor's superior design) but for the price point of this reissue it will do just fine.
Everything screams "retro" and the visual quirkiness and functionality (or non-functionality) of the original design is of course perpetuated with this reissue. Lots going on here with the trem, 4 knobs, selector switch, output jack and that huge pickguard squeezed onto the top. Makes working the controls somewhat of a challenge, but it goes with the territory of this design. Hmmm, might go the Billy Gibbons route and just wire up with a single volume control where the selector switch resides…
Pickups are fairly decent and they don't squeal. Basically they do their job and I have no interest with swapping them out. (I also owned a new early 70's Les Paul Deluxe with mini-humbuckers that were not wax potted and squealed like Arnold Ziffel at feeding time.) Neck pup measures 6.8K DC resistance while the bridge is a hotter 10.3K. Control cavity has shielding paint in the cavity with aluminum tape on the cavity cover. Full sized Alpha A500K tone pots and full sized "Made in Korea" volume pots that I assume are also 500K but a different taper, or they could be 300K similar to many Gibson's.
Bottom line: All in all, this was a mega-guitar deal for very little-denaro. The hard shell case was an added bonus that sealed the deal. If you can find one and are capable of using a screwdriver, Allen wrench, steal wool, lemon oil, and some elbow grease, then it's highly recommended. Then again, look elsewhere if you are somewhat challenged with just changing strings. Or better yet, find a friend who can teach you how to maintain/setup a guitar.

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
I bought one of these new in 1962/63 and always regretted selling it. I've been looking for a used one for a number of years and was very pleased that Gibson/Epiphone re-issued it. This one appears to have a slimmer neck than the original I owned but everything else about it looks and feels right. Brings back lots of memories of days gone by!

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
The first thing that should be said is that this guitar looks a million times better than the stock photos online suggest. This guitar's overall quality, fit and finish is far greater than what I was expecting. FUN is the best way to describe this guitar, but in no way should it be implied that it is toy like. The tremolo is supurb on this, operating much smoother and with greater tuning stability than any Bigsby-style unit I've ever used... Maybe second only to the trem system on a Jaguar or Jazzmaster. The feel of the guitar is solid and comfortable, feeling similar to an SG, but with better overall balance and a much more solid overall feel. The pickups sound great, but I am somewhat surprised that they chose to not put the Gibson USA minihumbuckers in this model when all of the other "1962 Series" Epiphones did use them. Regardless, it is still a great sounding guitar. Setup out of the box was actually somewhat decent, but as with any online guitar purchase, a full setup with fresh strings is an absolute nessesity, regardless of brand or price.
This guitar is the 6th in my collection, and is the only imported guitar I own. That said, it is not lacking in any way in fit, finish or sound. And it looks ABSOLUTELY over the top awesome. The historically accurate grey/blue case was a super nice touch, and it too is of a higher quality than I was expecting. Looking at a photo of a real '62 Crestwood, they NAILED every detail of the original, which really makes me feel good about this purchase. I hope this is indicative of what Epiphone will be delivering to customers in the future, because there is literally nothing to not like about this guitar. For the first time in a LONG TIME, I actually made a guitar purchase where I feel I finally got my money's worth. Great job Epiphone... Let's see more work like this!

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Crestwood Custom Reissue Electric Guitar:
I didn't think there were any 62 Crestwood reissues left.With only 1962 of them produced and released in Sept 2012,I thought they were pretty much gone. Then they showed up at MF,and after a six week backorder,it finally arrived.
This is one sweet guitar.Slightly retro looking,with a beautiful red finish.
Mine arrived flawless.Fit and finish are perfect,with no rough edge to the frets and a pretty much perfect paint job.Setup was perfect out of the box.Intonation and action are spot on.This one was put together with an obvious eye toward quality.
The guitar is super lightweight.It's well balanced,and feels great on the shoulder.
The mini humbuckers give me all the versatility I need.With the standard Gibson pickup selector and and dual Vol and tone controls,I can go from twangy country to thick blues tones at the flick of a switch.
The Tremotone is a little stiff for my taste,but it works well,and doesn't cause any tuning problems if used with restraint.
The period correct case is a nice touch.It's very plush,and the guitar fits perfectly.
I was a little dissapointed that Epiphone didn't assign it a serial # 01-1962,since they made a big deal out of the limited production run,although they did add a 1962 Collection Certificate of Authenticity to the package.
Epiphone did a great job with this one.If your looking for an investment instrument this is an affordable alternative to a "custom shop special".If you're just looking for a great playing,great sounding guitar,then it's that and more.

Singleness in Evangelicalism

Advice to Management
Take a look at the outside tech industry and take notes about where things are going. Abandon the archaic before it's too late and reward those who attempt to innovate. Try to move your HR policies into the last decade.

This ringlet-loving sampler is your chance to try DevaCurl's innovative curl care system. Each trio includes a creamy lather-free cleanser, a hydrating conditioner, and a lightweight, curl-defining gel. All three work with your hair's natural texture, so you're left with soft, shiny spirals without that pesky halo of frizz.
I have spent the last 15 years of my life trying to find the right products for my naturally curly hair. Deva Curl is amazing. Finally, my hair is consist, shiny, frizz free. I no longer struggle with "straight" days or with "crunch." This is hands down the best line for curls. I refer anyone with curls to this. My friends joke that I must be getting paid for my praise, but I just seriously love this stuff.5
I have wavy bordering on curly hair, this curl defining gel is just the push my hair needs to have beautiful defined curls at the ends! I wash my hair, get the excess moisture out, scrunch a little of the gel in on the ends to mid way up my hair and I'm good to go for the day. Drys in soft curls that I can tousle with a hair pick, so easy and soooo pretty! A definite staple in my hair care items!5
I have curly hair and I have tried every product on the market. Deva curl has a very perm-like chemical smell. The shampoo does not make your hair feel nice, but the conditioner does. I just don't feel like it works that well in holding the curl, or lasting more than a day. Plus the smell is awful.2
I have very thick, curly hair. I have spent probably thousands of dollars on different hair products before discovering DevaCurl. The trick is to how to actually use the products. My hair is not nearly as frizzy and I can go days without washing it and it still maintains beautiful shiny curls. If you are able to, go get a DevaCurl haircut where they teach how to use the products. One major trick is to not wash out the conditioner fully.5
