Using Videos to Introduce Your Church, Campus, or Community to the 2015 Offering of Letters
By Jon Gromek
We live in a country where nearly 16 million children (1 in 5) live in homes that struggle to put food on the table. This year, Congress will debate the funding and policies for the programs that feed our children and nourish the minds and bodies of our brightest future. We will hear a great deal of facts and figures, statistics, and the minutiae of policies and programs. As important as these things are to the debate, one of the most important aspects in this national discussion is YOUR VOICE.
The decisions made this year will affect the health and well-being of mothers and children for years to come. Last week, Bread for the World officially launched its 2015 Offering of Letters: Feed Our Children, which means it's time for Bread members across the country to start writing letters to their members of Congress! The Offering of Letters kit is a great resource for people everywhere to engage in advocacy and raise their Christian voice. Some of the most effective tools are the videos produced for the 2015 Offering of Letters campaign.
Be sure to watch the "Lunch 'n' Learn: The Importance of Child Nutrition Programs," video and also the 60-second trailer. Share them with a friend, or show them in preparation for a congregation-wide Offering of Letters. Use the videos as a tool to engage and educate people in your congregation or community. Share them with friends and your congregation on Facebook. Post them on blogs. Show them during a Sunday school class, and invite reflection and discussion afterward. The videos not only put the issue of hunger in context, but also help put a face to what we are fighting for and the children who struggle with hunger every day.
Through these short videos you can meet Barbie Izquierdo and her children, Aidan and Leylanie, a Philadelphia family that has benefited from child nutrition programs; hear from staff at elementary and high schools in Pennsylvania and Maryland who speak first-hand about the importance of investing in our children's growth, development, and education. Use the stories as inspiration to go out into your own community to meet and talk with students and educators who live these programs. They are representative of families and community members in every corner of our country, and they are the reason to write, call, email, and visit your congressional leaders and tell them to "feed our children."

Finding Life's Purpose Through Travel, Faith, and Education

Roughly 20 college-bound high school graduates visited Bread for the World's offices last week to learn about Bread's work and how they can become advocates to end hunger by 2030.
The students' visit is part of their 8-month "gap year" experience facilitated by faith-based KIVU Gap Year. A "gap year" is when students take a year off school in between high school and college (typically deferring college enrollment) to explore their educational and life goals before starting college.
Part of the students' experience at Bread was learning about our advocacy work. Before heading out to Capitol Hill to speak with their members of Congress, the students received a tutorial of sorts about Bread's advocacy goals, especially the child nutrition reauthorization bill, and how to speak with legislators.
The bill is set to expire this year, and Bread plans to work vigorously to ensure its reauthorization. In fact, this year's Offering of Letters focuses on the importance of child nutrition.
"Having student groups like Kivu Gap Year visit Bread is a great opportunity for young people to learn about living out their faith through advocacy," said Christine Melendez Ashley, senior policy analyst at Bread. "They get to put that into practice by going to visit their members of Congress. We help empower them to be a voice for the voiceless, in this case, for kids at risk of hunger."
Maggie Parsley, 18, from Columbus, Ohio, said she found her visit to Bread both informative and inspiring. She got to visit with aides from the offices of Ohio Sens. Sherrod Brown (D) and Rob Portman (R) and speak with them about the importance of child nutrition.
Parsley said she hopes the "gap year" experience will give her an opportunity to figure out her life's passion and be better prepared for college. "For me, I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do [after high school]," she said. "I didn't know where I wanted to go."
KIVU's gap year is divided into two components: domestic and international. Students spend the first half of their "gap year" doing a domestic internship. Parsley did hers at a refugee resettlement center in Denver, Col. On Saturday, the students left to go overseas to begin their international internships in countries such as Rwanda, Philippines, Tanzania and Israel.
For some students, the opportunity to grow closer to God and deepen their faith was central to their decision to join KIVU's gap year experience. "I believe God was calling me to do this," said Courtney Lashar, 19, of Norman, Okla. Lasher spent her domestic internship at Sox Place - a daytime youth drop-in center in Denver, Colo.
In fact, Lashar's meeting with Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK-4) turned from a political encounter to a spiritual one when prayer was recited at the end of their meeting - first by Krisanne Vaillancourt-Murphy, who leads national evangelical church relations at Bread, and then by the congressman himself. "He wanted to pray for us. For our trip and what we were doing as part of KIVU," Lashar said. "It was an amazing thing to see."
Jared Noetzel, evangelical engagement fellow at Bread, said that advocacy should be part of Christian discipleship, and that these young people get that. "They are ready not only to take their faith seriously, but to turn it into action. Their choice to advocate for the marginalized in society represents the best of our shared, Christian social ethic."

2014 Victories: Hunger Prevention and Economic Development
Editor's note: Bread Blog is running a six-part series highlighting Bread for the World's legislative wins in 2014. Today's post looks at appropriations funding for programs that prevent hunger and promote economic development.
By Bread Staff
In the final days of the 113th legislative session, Congress passed a $1.01 trillion spending bill, funding most government programs through September 2015. Despite a very tough fiscal climate, programs that address hunger and poverty did fairly well.
On the domestic front, the spending bill includes $6.23 billion in funding for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), enough to cover current and projected caseloads. The money will also go toward funding breastfeeding peer counselors, infrastructure, and management information systems.
Other funding includes $25 million for school equipment and breakfast expansion grants and $16 million for summer food demonstration projects. This gives us a leg up on our 2015 Offering of Letters campaign, which will focus on child nutrition programs. These programs include school and summer meals programs. Bread is seeking expansion of these programs when they are reauthorized in 2015 so more children can get the meals they need.
Congress also approved increased funding for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), which ensures low-income seniors get adequate meals. The funding included $2.8 million to expand the program to seven new states: Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Internationally, Congress increased funding for poverty-focused development assistance to $27 billion, a significant increase from last year's level of $24 billion. The boost is largely due to the Ebola supplemental funding that President Obama had requested. The funding will go toward international disaster assistance, global health, and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) operating expenses.
The additional supplemental funding will help ensure that the United States responds not only to the crisis in West Africa, but also continues to support ongoing development and humanitarian efforts in other regions in the world.
Bread also saw another win this year when USAID launched its multi-sector nutrition strategy in May. This strategy ensures nutrition remains a focus across development projects from education and hygiene to agriculture and gender equality. It scales up work targeted at children's first 1,000 days from pregnancy to the child's second birthday. Maternal and child nutrition during this period has lasting effects on long-term growth and cognitive development.
Bread for the World and Bread for the World Institute have been active participants in the 1,000 Days advocacy movement and in the development of USAID's nutrition strategy. The launch of the strategy represents a major success for the global health and nutrition advocacy community.
"Our legislative wins aren't always grabbing headlines, but they're significant and affect millions of lives," said Amelia Kegan, deputy director of government relations at Bread for the World. "This list of legislative accomplishments reminds us that sustained, faithful advocacy really works and really does bring change. We've got our work cut out for us in 2015, but let these successes of 2014 motivate, inspire, and energize us for the path ahead."
The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act is set to expire September 2015. We'll need your help to ensure that Congress continues to make nutrition for children a priority. Stay informed about the key issues regarding child hunger in the United States.

Rural Oregon School Drops School Lunch Program
In Oregon, 27.3 percent of children were food insecure in 2012. Nationally, 15.8 million American children lived in food insecure households. (Robin Stephenson)
By Robin Stephenson
We have a problem in Oregon: We have one of the highest rates of hunger in the nation. Oregonian columnist David Sarasohn wrote that if there was a town called poverty it would be the largest city in Oregon.
That town would look a lot like Jordan Valley in rural Malheur County. The beauty of the high desert landscape belies a hidden reality of hunger and poverty; one in four residents live below the poverty line. In 2010, 24.3 percent of residents utilized food stamps, compared to 14.6 percent in the Portland metropolitan area. Malheur County has a 30.1% rate of child food insecurity - meaning kids are skipping meals.
Like jobs, resources in Jordan Valley are limited; the nearest full-service grocery store is nearly 100 miles away. Approximately 80 students are bused to school each day from remote ranches and 50 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunch based on family income.
So, hearing Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) report that Jordan Valley dropped their free and reduced-price lunch program made my jaw drop. This makes no sense.
Kids learn better, graduate at higher rates, and are healthier when they have access to a nutritious lunch. There is a lot at stake here. The United States has a federal program that subsidizes school lunch, but the program is optional.
The problem is that the program isn't working for Jordan Valley.
Sharon Thornberry, a Bread for the World board member, sees the urban-rural hunger divide in her work as the community food systems manager at the Oregon Food Bank. She views hunger at the community level. Thornberry says Jordan Valley exposes a policy issue that needs attention. She told OPB that the lunch program no longer works for rural communities. "I can remember them telling me in Jordan Valley that each meal cost them a dollar more than the federal reimbursement," she said.
Economically depressed districts need full reimbursement for school lunches or other policy interventions that are specific to the circumstances rural communities face today.
Jordan Valley is not unique – rural towns across America experience higher rates of hunger and poverty. Of course, the permanent solution to our hunger problem is a job that pays enough to support a family. In the meantime, the school lunch program is a critical tool to combat child hunger.
I grew up in a town similar to Jordan Valley and bused to school from our small family farm. I am thankful for the free lunch I received that took the pressure off my parents during some tough economic times. Sometimes, we all need a little help.
The program that authorizes the national school lunch program expires September 30, 2015. In the reauthorization process, members of Congress have an opportunity to strengthen the program so it works for dual communities, especially Greg Walden, who has constituents in Jordan Valley.

Quote of the Day: Raj Shah on Feed the Future

"Through Feed the Future, we are harnessing the power of science, technology and innovation to unlock opportunity for the world's most vulnerable people. By creating and scaling cutting-edge solutions to our most pressing agricultural challenges, we can help the world's most vulnerable people move from dependency to self-sufficiency and out of the tragic cycle of extreme poverty."
USAID administrator Raj Shah quoted in a Nov 6, State Department press release, "U.S. Government Announces Child Stunting Rates Drop in Ethiopia, Maize Yields Increase in Zambia."
Feed the Future programs in Zambia helped smallholder farmers increased maize production by 32 percent in one year. In the past three years, 160,00 fewer children under five in Ethiopia are malnourished because of Feed the Future and other United States Government initiatives.
Legislation that would authorize Feed the Future was introduced in Congress in September. If passed, the Global Food Security act (H.R. 5656/. S. 2909), would give the U.S. government the tools and resources it needs to better fight chronic hunger and malnutrition as well to expand and better coordinate U.S. investments in improving global food security.

Watch "The Last Hunger Season" Online
The Last Hunger Season Film Series: Part 1, "Expanding Possibilities." Watch other videos in the series here.
Today's celebration of World Food Day lifts up the role of smallholder farmers through the theme, "Family Farming: Feeding the World, Caring for the Earth." There are plenty of these farmers to celebrate: 500 million smallholder farmers live and work in the developing world. Most of them are women.
Last year saw the publication of The Last Hunger Season: A Year in an African Farm Community on the Brink of Change, a book by Roger Thurow, senior fellow for global agriculture and food policy at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and longtime friend of Bread for the World. Now there is a series of short documentary videos online that bring the book to life, telling the stories of smallholder farmers in Kenya.
Here's a description of the story:
Africa's small farmers, who comprise two-thirds of its population, toil in a time warp, living and working essentially as they did in the 1930s. Without mechanized equipment, fertilizer, or irrigation; using primitive storage facilities, roads, and markets; lacking capital, credit, and insurance; they harvest only one-quarter the yields of Western farmers, half of which spoil before getting to market. But in 2011 one group of farmers in Kenya came together to try to change their odds for success—and their families' futures. Roger Thurow spent a year following their progress.
In The Last Hunger Season, the intimate dramas of the farmers' lives unfold amidst growing awareness that to feed the world's growing population, food production must double by 2050. How will the farmers, Africa, and a hungrier world deal with issues of water usage, land ownership, foreign investment, corruption, GMO's, the changing role of women, and the politics of foreign aid?
Watch The Last Hunger Season online. Learn more about Bread's efforts to enact much-needed reforms to U.S. food aid. Then take action to help more smallholder farmers, like those shown in Kenya, and hungry people around the world as well.

Two Billion People Suffer from 'Hidden Hunger'

By Kimberly Burge
According to a new report released this week, a staggering 2 billion people do not get the essential vitamins and minerals from the food they eat. They remain undernourished, suffering from the "hidden hunger" of micronutrient and vitamin deficiencies.
The annual Global Hunger Index (GHI) is released jointly by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Welthungerhilfe (one of Germany's largest private development organizations), and Concern Worldwide. The 2014 report finds that, while great strides have been made to feed the world, 805 million people are still chronically undernourished because they do not get enough to eat. Even those who get sufficient calories can suffer from hidden hunger, an often overlooked yet critical aspect of hunger and nutrition.
Hidden hunger is often hard to detect, but is potentially devastating. Hidden hunger weakens the immune system, stunts physical and intellectual growth, and can lead to death. It wreaks economic havoc as well, locking countries into cycles of poor nutrition, lost productivity, poverty, and reduced economic growth.
Bread for the World Institute has explored the issue of hidden hunger in several previous Hunger Reports. Frontline Issues in Nutrition Assistance: Hunger Report 2006 recommended food fortification and the addition of vitamin and mineral supplements to nutrition programs to help boost the health and nutritional status of those who are malnourished. For example, iodine deficiency causes problems with cognitive development and remains the world's single greatest cause of preventable mental retardation. But developing countries are making efforts to add iodine to household salt, efforts that are paying off. Between 1997 and 2002, 67 percent of all households in sub-Saharan Africa were consuming iodized salt, along with 53 percent in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa; 80 percent in East Asia; and 91 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean.
"Particularly in countries facing a high burden of malnutrition, hidden hunger goes hand in hand with other forms of malnutrition and cannot be addressed in isolation," said Welthungerhilfe president Bärbel Dieckmann. "In the long-term, people cannot break out of the vicious cycle of poverty and malnutrition without being granted the basic right to nutritious food."
Hidden hunger is not found exclusively in developing countries, however. It crosses borders and exists here in the United States as well, as the Institute's Senior Editor Todd Post saw while researching Hunger Report 2012.
"In Philadelphia, I visited emergency rooms with Dr. Mariana Chilton, head of Witnesses to Hunger, who recruited women to participate in Witnesses first by targeting mothers who brought their babies to the emergency room for something they thought was unrelated to hunger," recalls Post. "The children were suffering from a condition known as 'failure to thrive,' a precursor to stunting, which was malnutrition related."
"Failure to thrive" is the clinical term for a child severely underweight for her age. Witnesses to Hunger was born out of Children's HealthWatch, a multi-city research project that is studying the effects of hunger on the health and well-being of young children. The project screens children in emergency rooms and ambulatory care clinics at five medical centers across the country, since undernourished children have higher rates of hospitalization.
To read more about Witnesses to Hunger and Dr. Chilton's work, see p. 52-53 of Rebalancing Act: 2012 Hunger Report.
There was good news to be found in this year's Global Hunger Index. The number of people going hungry has steadily decreased in most developing countries. Since 1990, hunger in the developing world has fallen by 39 percent, and 26 countries have reduced their scores by 50 percent or more. Angola, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Chad, Ghana, Malawi, Niger, Rwanda, Thailand, and Vietnam have seen the greatest improvements in their scores between the 1990 GHI and the 2014 GHI.
And bad news, too: Levels of hunger are still "alarming" in 14 countries, and "extremely alarming" in two, Burundi and Eritrea.
Kimberly Burge is the interim associate online editor for Bread for the World.

Crippling All of Humanity: A Reporter's Reflection on Seeing Child Malnutrition
By Robin Stephenson
Earlier this year, PBS NewsHour correspondent Hari Sreenivasan traveled to Guatemala and saw the effects of malnourishment firsthand. Malnutrition, he saw, diminishes human growth, but also the future growth of a country's economy.
Half of Guatemala's children lack access to nutritious foods in the first two years of life. They will never reach their full potential. Physically and mentally stunted for life, malnutrition leads to health problems and reduced mental capacity. In turn, this leaves a country with a weak labor force.
Sreenivasan met one-year-old Lidia Chumil, whose diet typically consists of beans and herbs. Her mother does not have access to the nutrients she needs to feed her daughter. Baby Lidia is underweight and small for her age. It is unlikely she can ever regain what she has lost.
Reducing child malnutrition is a complex problem that requires new ways of thinking. Guatemala's minister of food security, Luis Enrique Monterroso, told Sreenivasan that a focus on poverty interventions in the past did not work. Today, the Guatemalan government targets malnutrition.
Reps. Ander Crenshaw (R-Fla.) and Adam Smith (D-Wash.) would agree that addressing malnutrition is key. In a recent contribution to The Hill, they write, "Specifically, addressing malnutrition requires coordinated planning and programming of effective nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions across multiple sectors, including agriculture, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, social protection and humanitarian assistance programs."
The congressmen go on to laud the recent introduction of a USAID nutrition strategy that will strengthen the impact of federal dollars by coordinating programs and resources across government agencies. "[The strategy] also acknowledges that high rates of chronic malnutrition can significantly impact a nation's GDP potential, as well as other economic and social costs," they write.
As a partner, the United States can bolster efforts by the Guatemalan government with new foreign assistance programs that also target malnutrition. The Feed the Future initiative, legislation that takes a multi-sectorial approach to ending hunger, was introduced in both chambers of Congress. The legislation develops a whole-of-government strategy that supports country ownership, nutrition, and food security.
More than Guatemala's future is economically stunted by malnutrition. There is a global price to pay. It is estimated that childhood malnutrition will cost the global economy some $125 billion in lost GDP growth by 2030. Not to mention, hunger is presently driving children to flee Guatemala for the United States, creating an immediate crisis on our border.
Although Sreenivasan saw malnutrition up close, in a personal reflection, he steps back and takes a global view. "The question I'm left wondering is what becomes of a world where a significant portion of the population grows up without even the basic nutritional foundation to give them a shot at anything else," he writes. "As the business leaders in our piece say, from an economic perspective, that kind of inequality will cripple the productivity potential of entire countries. But from a human perspective, it seems like it will cripple us all."

Reflection: Babies Seek and Remember
(Joseph Molieri/Bread for the World).
By Kierra Jackson
"And when he had taken some bread and given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me." (Luke 22:19)
My interest in maternal and child nutrition brought me to my full-time job at Bread for the World where I work as the major gifts coordinator/development officer. On the side, I help deliver babies as a trained doula. Something I've learned in this work is that, as humans, we remember—even in our very first minutes and hours of life.
If you've ever seen a baby pass from life in the body to life out in the world, you may have noticed a couple of things. First, in the moments before birth, there's this rush—a mighty wind of hands, instructions, encouraging words, heightened speech, and amplified energy—all to prepare for and to welcome this fresh human being into the world. If possible, the newborn is brought close to the mother, skin to skin, to regulate her body temperature and to encourage bonding, which helps in breastfeeding.
This is my body.
Keep watching and you'll see that mother and baby coo at each other, cry tears of joy and relief at each other. They touch and start getting to know one another.
It takes a couple minutes before a newborn begins to use language. She'll begin by licking the air, stick her little pink tongue out and pull it back in, open her mouth and then look for her hands and bring them to her mouth.
"I am the bread of life," Jesus said.
The search is a steady and relentless one. Her head bobs, hands grab, tongue licks, and then a bit of grunting or fussing. In cases where moms need extra medical attention, a baby will often be placed with her shirtless father to share the positive effects of skin-to-skin contact with a parent. Even then she's searching, and sometimes finds a nipple—a dad nipple!
This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance.
You see, babies know. They seem to have this ability to remember that the greatest gift to them is the body. Even when they are born, they long to return to the body that has been broken open for them, that will feed them, hold them, nurture and love them.
Before they even have the fullness of memory, I like to believe that babies have shared words with Jesus. That Christ said, "Remember me, baby, remember me. I love you."
So, for many of us who have heard this regular reminder to remember, we do just that.
We remember the unique needs of maternal and child nutrition. We remember that food is the first thing we long for, that it sustains the body. Without it, we are most fragile. We remember that our work at Bread for the World, in its many forms, is so critical to feeding babies, mothers, and fathers.
Christ gave us his body that we might remember. Let us give thanks for this life-giving gift.
Kierra Jackson is major gifts coordinator at Bread for the World. She is also a trained birth doula.

Celebrating 5th Birthdays and Beyond

By Beth Ann Saracco
If you are on Facebook, and follow Bread for the World President David Beckmann, you may have noticed he recently updated his profile picture to a photo of himself as a young boy. The change commemorates the 5th Birthday and Beyond celebration, which recognizes the significant progress that has been achieved in child survival over the past 25 years, and the many contributions the United States has made in reaching this milestone.
Thanks in large part to bipartisan support from members of Congress, current and past U.S. administrations, private-sector partners, nongovernmental organizations (including Bread for the World), and other multilateral organizations and donor nations, the number of deaths of children under five has dropped by half since 1990. In the past twelve years alone, 700,000 fewer children have died from pneumonia, 300,000 fewer children from malaria, and 100,000 fewer children from AIDS.
As we celebrate these significant gains, we also reflect on the role Bread for the World has played, throughout its own 40-year history, to significantly improve child survival. In the last 25 years alone, Bread for the World has helped craft and pass major legislation that has reduced child mortality, including a bill that established the international Child Survival Fund. Each year, this fund helps immunize more than 100 million children in the developing world; since its establishment, the number of children dying daily from malnutrition and preventable diseases has fallen by 50 percent.
In 1999, Bread for the World led the creation of the Jubilee Campaign, which was part of a worldwide movement that successfully urged Congress to forgive the debts of some of the world's poorest countries. As a result, relief has reduced the debts of 36 of the world's poorest countries by 90 percent. Many of these countries have been able to reinvest and expand basic education and health services.
In the new millennium, Bread for the World and its partners successfully advocated for the establishment of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), which provided a new, innovative way of administering U.S. foreign aid. Through its unique approach focused on good governance, accountability, and poverty reduction, MCC has supported nearly 40 countries with more than $8.5 billion in aid, ranging from food-security programs and health initiatives to water and sanitation projects.
Most recently, thanks in part to analysis from Bread for the World Institute, we are pushing to improve the nutritional quality of U.S. food aid. In addition, through the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Civil Society Network, which supports civil society alliances at the country level, we are learning about the opportunities and challenges of scaling up nutrition in some of the countries most affected by malnutrition. This is helping inform our advocacy and our push for greater investments in maternal and child nutrition programs.
Working with a number of U.S. civil society partners, our advocacy efforts helped encourage and shape the U.S. Agency for International Development's new nutrition strategy, which will better integrate and coordinate nutrition and nutrition-related programs across U.S. development assistance programs. Since we know the many links that exist between child survival and the right nutrition and care during the 1,000 days between a woman's pregnancy and her child's second birthday, these efforts will translate into even more mothers and children living longer, healthier, more productive lives.
Proudly, Bread for the World joins with other partners in recognizing the 5th Birthday and Beyond celebration, and extends particular gratitude to Congress and the administration for their continued support of vital programs that promote child survival and wellbeing. Together, we are working to ensure that all children not only survive to their fifth birthdays, but thrive well beyond them.

- Below is an interview from RingsideCollectibles.com where they spoke with Ryback and Sheamus at Toys R Us in New York City last week: - One of the names discussed internally for the WWE Hall of Fame last week was former WWWF Tag Team Champion Dominic DeNucci, who trained Mick Foley and is close with Bruno Sammartino. With Booker T being announced this week, it's possible that's it for this year's class. - Word from the weekend within WWE was that no Diva matches were penciled in yet for WrestleMania 29 but the Divas would be used in some segments. We noted on Tuesday that an eight-Divas match with The Bella Twins, Tamina Snuka and a heel Layla vs. Kaitlyn, Cameron, Naomi and Maria Menounos is likely. Partial source: PWInsider

Well that's a load of mis-information for a start.
An increasing number of multirotors are using carbon-fiber propellers which are quite strong in all directions and even the small plastic ones can draw blood. Check out this video at 4:26... and we're talking about very small (just over 1lb) craft with tiny (5-inch) plastic propellers.

If all else fails, I snack on fresh fruit and think that if I give in to a cigarette just because someone annoys me, then I'm allowing them to win because not only am I becoming stressed, but I'm putting dangerous chemicals in my body that only damages my smile & quality of life! I want to enjoy life & explore this world until my last breath. I certainly don't want to drag around an oxygen tank while I'm trekking through the Andes Mountains!

Delivery was a nightmare. After they finally arrived thins went down hill. The Power Flo is too quiet - quieter than my Silverado! Fit was horrible. Had to pay muffler shop to take everything apart, cut, and refit. The power flo muffler connections were bent entirely wrong, so we removed them completely and fabricated tailpipes to tips. This allowed the tips to be spaced properly and aligned the same. No more SLP for me

As someone else said a bit load...Just what I wanted.You can definatley tell the difference.Pay some one $100 to install for you.Only downside..parts are right an left an not marked.because the way car is constructed this makes a difference .Installer had to put pipes on an take off a couple times to get rt an left on right so they angles the right way.Didnt have to drop sway bar as instructions indicated.You don't unbolt muffler at back an drop down you disconnect pipe at header an drop that down an take mufflers off that way.Marking rt an left an a little more instruction would help but love the rumble

SLP Y-pipe for Firebird 2000-02 V8
The pipe is certainly a nicer than the stock y-pipe. It's supposed to fit without any issues on my 2002 TA. The holes for the flanges to connect to the catalytic converters are too far apart and had to grind the inner so it would fit like it's supposed to. The outlet is shorter than the stock y-pipe. Going to bring this to an exhaust shop and let them fiddle with it and get it to fit properly. It will be nice once it's done, but not happy about having to bring it elsewhere.

LOL at how many posters thought Paul Wilson and David Williams were the key to the season! (I kid; I probably would have bet $50,000 on the Reds to lose 90 + games.)

Strange in all those fantasies of how the Reds could contend no one mentioned that we do it by acquiring players that actually produce significant contributions such as Arroyo, Phillips, Hatteburg and Ross. It's like we as Reds fans didn't realize that it was even possible to get players that were not in the twilight of mediocre careers or coming off a year or more of medical re-hab.

I had actually forgotten that Womack played for the Reds earlier in the year.

It makes sense, because when I think of Dan O'Brien, I see mental images snuggly bunnies.
Same thing probably happened with Womack.

Dodge Ram 1500 Problem Report
Dodge Ram 1500 Starts, Runs till warmed up, Dies. What to do?
(15 reports)
I have a 2002 Ram 1500 4x4 5.9L, truck will cold start run for 10 minutes until its warmed up then die and it wont start again until its cold again. replaced ignition coil because i had no spark there after it died and that didn't fix it. I have fuel pressure and a full charge on the battery. no codes with computer from NAPA. Any idea's before I buy a new ignition control and crankshaft sensor? I replaced the crankshaft sensor and the truck runs great, they are around $50 and not too hard to replace. the sensor is on top of the bell housing on the passenger side of the truck. - cement0311

As sequel for Black Mirror series it is solid, as prelude for Black Mirror 3 it is perfect.
- game graphic with same design as in the first chapter
- dark thrilling atmosphere
- epic melancholic music which enhances atmosphere
- storyline
- item and location highlighting feature
- game length
- logical problem-solving
- puzzles are quiet simple
- animations of people are incomplete
- texture bugs
- linear dialogs
I played brilliant Black Mirror I, so this game was an obvious choice for me. I was expecting sequel which would go in the footsteps of his predecessor. Black Mirror II has failed to meet my expectations, but even so it was worth it. This 2,5D point&click adventure accompanies us events that took place 12 years after first chapter. Intensified atmosphere by a story with many twists is why i recommend to play the game, especially to fans of this genre. On the other side, Black Mirror II is only something like a bridge to Black Mirror III. We will see if he manages to use this great start-up.

Never before in our history has it been easier to treat people like crap then get away with it.
This is because we've evolved in very small groups and tribes, typically no more than 150 people. Everyone knew each other. Everyone held each other accountable.
If you disrespected the group or treated people unfairly, you would be quickly ostracized from your tribe and sent to live on your own (which was typically a death sentence).
According to Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck, this is why our social reputation is so important to us – and why we have a natural craving to be liked and respected by others.
Of course we still need these social ties to survive and flourish. But in today's world, we interact with many more people, especially strangers, because it's so much easier to communicate and travel.
This makes it easy to treat people like crap, because many people we cross paths with we probably won't ever see again. And in short, this influences a lot of people to lose their good manners and respectability.
