Fits very well !!! Love it
This top is super cute and sexy! definitely cannot wear a bra but it is adjustable and easy to wear! I am 32DD, size 0, and I was very pleased with this purchase!
I'm a small girl with a flat chest but I feel so feminine in this bodysuit! I love wearing backless tops and dress and this is perfect. I wore this for my 21st birthday and felt hot! Fits super well and didn't wear a bra but still felt comfortable, I would recommend it! The only thing is that it is SUPER high waisted, at least on me!
This body suit is super flattering and can be dressed-up or dressed-down. I love how it made my skin look super tan.
Loooove this! So sexy and fun! Perfect for dancing and even a casual night out. I am 5'4 and weight 120, I got the Small and it fit great!
im in love with this ! its just the right pink ! its not the trash neon pink that could look really bad ,its the nice just vibrant enough pink , sits very well and also what I loved is that it comes as a thong one piece which is great too when wearing it with jeans ! all in all a great purchase !
i definitely love this top.
This top is so hot! It goes great with a pair of high-waisted dark skinny jeans and heels. The color is bright neon pink but doesn't look trashy or cheap. Has adjustable straps. Just be wary-this shirt is unlined, but it wasn't an issue for me. Can't wait to wear it again when I go out
this is TRUE to color, it's hot pink. I'm 5'7 and 135 pounds and was worried about getting a small but it fits. I just had to loosen the straps for length so i honestly could have went with small or medium. It does fit high (the black part) so you can only wear it with high waisted stuff. The black part kind of fits like a thong. As a whole I was really pleased with it
I ordered this to go with a dark blue high waist asymmetrical skirt. If you do order this, I just getting something high waist because the shirt is not long enough for any bottoms that are low rise. Other than that, it is perfect. The color is bright pink and it just pops!
Beautiful and bright too! Only issue with it is that the underwear part that is black, often rides up and out of my jeans, exposing it. It's very obvious especially when wearing white jeans. But it's still a beautiful top, best is you wear it with black jeans/pants. If you are small chested or have fake *******, this top will look great! But if you happen to have natural big breasts, this top is not for you as you would need to go braless.
I love everything about this shirt - the color, the fit and the style! Perfect shirt for a night out! Sexy, yet classy! I'm 5'8 , 125lb, 34D and a Small fit perfectly.
5"7.5 125lbs medium 36D Color not as picture but still very pretty. Very sexy might need doubt stick tape. Size: true to size but I feel like I could have gone down a size. Love adjustable straps. I just wish the bottom part was white, I couldn't wear white pants other than that love my new piece.
Brought this to Vegas and it was perfect with high-waisted black shorts. Definitely need a sticky bra but it worked out nicely. I bought a medium being 5'2" and a D cup. The black part does come up a little higher than I wanted but if you wear high-wasted anything, it works fine.
This is such a sexy top! Wore it with a black mini skirt out for a night on the town. Holy *****, get a strapless sticky bra and you are in good shape! Runs a little tight, I'm 5'8, 34C and have a long torso, but the straps adjust. :) LOVE IT!
I also get worried ordering bodysuits since you can't return them, but this one was a WINNER!!! I'm 5'7", 36C, athletic built and the Medium fit perfectly. The color is gorgeous and will work with practically any bottom to make an outfit POP!!!
Perfect with jeans or skirts!
I love it and want it it other colors. My two complaints are that it is not as NEON as I had hoped it would be, and I wish the bottom part was nude or white instead of black.
Love this but you have to wear this with a higher waisted bottom or you'll see bottom part of body suit that is black. Wish it was pink like top because you can see if you wear white bottoms.
Love the color. Fabric is nice. The under body came up to far which is black so you could see it at waist. Im 5'4
This shirt was exactly what I was hoping for! As the previous review mentioned, it is slightly more fushia than neon pink, but a beautiful color none the less. The black bottom features snaps for ease to take it on and off, and the back of it is brazilian to avoid any lines underneath a pair of white jeans (so clutch!). The adjustable straps in the back make it perfect for my height (as I am 5'8.5" and ordered a small). They also allow you to make the shirt as loose or as tight as you want, the looser the straps the more ****** the shirt. The back is super sexy and the deep V in the front is very flattering with the thin straps. My new favorite summer shirt!
Love this, I ordered a large because I am 5'11 and it fit well especially having adjustable straps in the back. A little more fuchsia than in the picture but still perfect!
I wish I hadn't followed the other reviews and went with the smaller size. It is too big especially since my chest is small. Doesn't look right--pooches out making my waist look large. Sad I can't exchange sizes
Runs small! I usually switch off between smalls and x smalls with shirts. I'm 5'3 4 got an x small and it ran sooooo small. Gives me a wedgy when i put it on. I figured if a small fit someone 5'8 so well an x small would be better for me but i was so wrong so upset it's not exchangeable and the color isn't even as shown as picture. This is not what i wanted.

6" GearTieâ¿¢ Twist Tie 4 4
Love these! Have bought a bunch of these, I love them - so many different uses! June 2, 2015
Best cord control item I've found Like everyone, I have cords for everything. These work better and last longer than any other twist tie type product I've tried. I've tried other cord control products (even others at The Container Store) and these are my favorites. The price is a bit high, but I've had the same ones on commonly used cords and have taken them on and put them back on so many times, and they've held up, so I'm willing to pay the price. April 25, 2014
Another Clever Idea That Really Works I bought both colors - orange and green - to help keep the plethora of tech cords that accumulate under control. These worked perfectly and I have found them to be easier to use than many of the alternatives as they are easily removed or adjusted. November 17, 2013
Great looking and does the job More durable and better looking than your regular twisty ties. One star deduction for the price (it's more than $2 per). April 19, 2013

Publisher Comments:
Student Achievement Series: The Earth and Its Peoples is an innovative survey text and part of a program developed in partnership with teachers and students to meet the learning, study, and assessment goals necessary for student success. Through extensive research and focus groups conducted with a diverse cross-section of students, Houghton Mifflin presents a groundbreaking solution for skills mastery, understanding, and retention. Feedback from students has been instrumental in all aspects of development, from design and pedagogy to testing and assessment to title and cover. These elements culminate in a textbook program that reflects the way students learn and study best.As with all texts in this series, Student Achievement Series: The Earth and Its Peoples incorporates concise, to-the-point coverage; eliminates extraneous material; integrates pedagogy that reinforces key concepts; features a strong, supporting web component for review, testing, and assessment purposes; and provides students with real value for their educational dollar. Like the corresponding full-length version, Student Achievement Series: The Earth and Its Peoples takes a global approach to the study of world history. With its thematic focus on "environment and technology" and "diversity and dominance," the text offers a balanced perspective and a comparative approach.

Gruler over Kazmir hurt. Deeply.
Stubbs over Lincecum opened old wounds.
I remain pessimistically hopeful (yeah, that's oxymoronic, I know) that we'll get the 2008 1st Round Pick right. Krivsky was 0 for. Let's see what Jocketty can do.
Is this a thread regarding Devin Mesoraco or 'Hindsight is 20/20'? We can complain all we want about how we botched the 2002 and 2006 amateur MLB draft picks, but it's pretty pointless and leads us nowhere.
Should we have drafted Kazmir over Gruler in 2002. Hindsight says yes. But lets consider a few things first. At the time of the draft, Gruler too, was a coveted HS pitching prospect and was easily regarded as a top 5 pick. It's unfortunate that injuries derailed his baseball career, but such is so in life and in the MLB amateur draft.
Let us also remember that we're not the only team to pass up on Kazmir. Eleven teams passed on Kazmir after us, and for the exact same reason; Kazmir was a Boras client who naturally was going to have 'signability issues.' Granted several teams after us managed to land good players helping them right now, but that's neither here or there. Bottomline, Kazmir came with a flag that the Reds and eleven other teams didn't want to risk. Yes, Kazmir was a top pitching prospect coming out of high school, but with a high possiblity of Kazmir either underperforming or blowing his arm out, how would the Reds FO feel if they just blew multi-millions of dollars on a pitcher that wouldn't even sniff the majors?
Regarding Linecum, yes he put up beastly numbers in U Wash, but let's also consider that he's pushing 5'10'' and is barely 180 lbs. Let's also remember that his mechanics are somewhat harsh and not easy going. When you're evaluting prospects, you have to look that risk of injury since these kids are still usually atleast 2 years away from ever contributing to the major league club and are about to start abusing there arms much more so than they ever did in the high school and/or college.
They call hindsight 20/20 for a reason. Yes the Reds could have picked a better player here or there looking back at it. But that's why they call the MLB draft a crapshoot because that's exactly what it is. And don't you think they're teams that are pissed they passed up on Jay Bruce and Homer Bailey? All I gotta say is it flows both ways and no team is perfect.
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
It never ceases to amaze me.
You're calling Mesoraco a miss after 1 half year in rookie ball? 30ish AB's in Dayton? You've picked a bone on Stubbs forever too. I am not meaning to take a shot at you, but the impression I get is that you might just have a bone to pick, period.
Its way too early to write off Mesoraco OR Stubbs for that matter. I'm not trying to argue with you about the Reds history of bad drafting. That is blatently obvious and staring everyone in the face. I just think its the epitome of being inane writing off a prospect out of HS, after a 1/2 year of rookie ball while playing with noted injuries.
You think we'd have learned lessons with players like Rosales, Bailey, Bruce, etc - every prospect has a different developement curve or path - and you need to view that prospect in a window of more than 1 year. Because as with Rosales, they go up and down from year to year - people on redszone were calling him a better prospect than Homer Bailey at one time. Bailey has flashed dominant stuff, and regressed. Bruce is unstoppable. And we STILL don't know how any of those guys are really going to turn out. As with any prospect, writing them off after struggles in their initial career is foolish.
For as much as Small Sample Size is touted around here, it sure gets junked and thrown to the wayside when we talk about prospects in the minor league forum.
When, oh when are we going to be more prudent in our prospect evaluations here on Redszone? Because all logical, basic prospect evaluation method's fly out the window here at RedsZone when evaluating our own.
Word to the wise, following prospects is a game for those with patience. Not those who want immediete results. Those who dominate and continue to do so from the get go are the exception. Not the rule.
"I hate to advocate chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone... But they've always worked for me."
-Hunter S. Thompson
Couple that with Lincecum, an impact but one with weird mechanics, and a past history of arm blowouts on our part, and it makes sense.
but you also have to be sober about their chances, which are low, and plan accordingly. These two players should not make us forego shopping for a catcher or for a center fielder with righthanded power. to ignore those weaknesses in the system because of the presence of Stubbs and Mesoraco would be inane
it would also be inane to not visit the process by which these two players were selected by the Reds scouting department, as well as the process by which Terry Reynolds chose Jay Bruce. As Seinfeld says, "why can't we still have this, but also that?"
Simplified some, in my opinion the process should be this:
1. Give the scouting department an extra 5 million a year, give or take, split between domestic and international.
2. Rule out 0 players based on signability.
3. Rule out 0 players based on position or age.
4. Have good scouts.
5. Get multiple looks from multiple people at players who will cost a lot.
6. Let the scouting department run the draft.
Do all that, and there are still no guarantees.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
As for Mesoraco, he was arguably the best available on the board, but Krivsky attempted to draft for need, which is a no no. That's why I consider his selection the 2nd whiff for Krivsky. Mesoraco's injury's also haven't helped his cause in my book, since he's now in the Gary Majewski category of Reds, aka damaged goods. Hopefully Mesoraco gets healthy, turns the corner and will turn around his young career, but to date IMO, he's Krivsky's 2nd, and thankfully last, bust.
I don't have anything against Stubbs or Mesoraco, like I did with Gruler. With Gruler, it was personal. We missed badly with Gruler, and I hated Gruler b/c of it. I remember reading about his injuries in the Enquirer, and a morbid smile formed on my lips. I was happy, on some level. But as for Stubbs and Mesoraco, I give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they'll eventually positively contribute as Reds, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm going to write them off as misses by Krivsky, and look ahead hoping Jocketty will draft better than Krivsky. I can't imagine how Jocketty could do any worse...
Here is my issue....
Why do some people use the fact that it wasn't the guy they wanted to be so negative on the guy we actually took?
My quote from draft day 2006: I will take anyone but Drew Stubbs.
Yet I get slammed on here for supporting Drew Stubbs. Why? I don't have a clue. I see where he can put himself and help the Reds. Others seem to hate on him because he isn't in the majors like others are that were drafted before/after him. Now that isn't everyone, but its the feeling I get from a whole lot of people on him.
I wanted Scherzer. I definitely didn't want Stubbs at the time, but I thought they could have done worse.
Now I dislike the pick even more. Not because it wasn't Scherzer, but because he hasn't worked out yet and others that they passed up could be helping the team right now.
What I don't agree with is looking at the rest of the draft and saying that they missed out on all of the guys who have "worked out" to this point. It is fair, however, to look at guys who were projected as top 10-15 talents and were passed up. Three obvious ones are Joba, Lincecum and Scherzer.
I was a huge fan on Tim Lincecum and I was quite shocked when the Reds passed on him for Stubbs (who was the last guy I wanted). Though it still angers me to this day that the Reds passed on Lincecum in favor of Stubbs, it doesn't prevent me from still rooting for Stubbs and hoping he pans out.

At a bar in Ireland, an old man told me, "Lad!! There are 3 things that keep an animal going.... food, sex and purpose". Though I am not sure about their fascination for kilt (you may have a different "view" altogether though), I agree with the old man and I am fortunate to have passion for all. Now, if that rings an alarm bell, let me say it again, ALLL and Not just THE ONE that you are thinking. You might be thinking FOOD. I know! I am very perceptive. ;) Food: Cooking (cleaning), hosting (with cards against humanity), Wine/tea tasting, restaurant hunting Purpose: I love my job. I am a Computer Engineer by training. NO! I can't fix your coffee spilled devices. I also invest some of my time in designing software for non-profit projects. Sex: bleeeeeeep, bleep bleep, bleep, Geeeez, show some class buddy. Besides the survival kit, I love relaxing with friends and family.... The joy of exploring city streets, art walks and Sunday bbqs can't be the same without them. They are all nuts. They come in all shapes and sizes. They are there for me in good as well as bad times. I am grateful to have them. I like to stay active. Driving, hiking and eating at a hole in the wall is a bay area routine. I like kayaking, canoeing, going to artsie-fartsie and not-so-artsie-fartsie festivals, enjoying live shows and live music, drive-in movies or anything that sounds like fun. On quiet days, I love lounging on my couch and breezing through TV/netflix titles. So, what am I looking for. I am looking to have a relationship with someone who is compatible. I am looking for someone who has a balanced lifestyle. Someone who is independent yet connected, is spontaneous yet organized, is hard working yet knows when to relax and take it easy. I am curious and open minded, and I would like the same in my partner. Well, if you've read this far. You've invested a lot of time. It's time for you to get your return for investment. Shoot me message and I will send you a check :).... Yup, no kidding.

Guaterider posted at noon that in Tikal you can get a permit to ride up to the ruins at Uaxactun (Wa-shock-tune). So I asked the guard at the gate to Tikal and he pointed me to this yellow building over the way:
and here is the nice Guatemalan fellow writing up my free vehicle permit to ride north of Tikal past the barrier:
It only took a few minutes. Name, license plate number, drivers license number that sort of thing. They just want to make sure you make it back out. You show the permit to the guards and they raise the gate and you ride up past Tikal weaving through all the tourists and hit this cutoff:
What could be easier? The guard said the road was poco despacio (a little crappy). Now when a Guatemalan says that, you know you're in for some fun. It turns out that they just laid down a couple inchs of clay. And it rained hard last night. Now this would be a piece of cake on a dry day and you could rip down the way through the ruts:
and hopefully by the time you ride down here it will be the dry season and this road will be packed and dry. There was nobody out here. It really felt like I was riding into a lost world. These guys who were fixing a washed out culvert were the only people I ran into:
I squeaked by on the right. I don't know if you've ever ridden on slick clay, but it means a very light and steady throttle and virtually no braking. This was the worst hill. I stopped to see if the guy who slid sideways into the ditch was okay:
It was Francoise's car. The Quebecois I went to dinner with last night in Flores. Small world. He was nowhere around. He had mentioned something about a rainbow gathering of the tribes he needed to go to . Something about them averting the Mayan apocalypse I think. Anyway, it didn't look like he averted the apocalypse on this road.
I normally am 5'10''. By the time I walked back to the bike I was 6'2'.:
Okay, I'm exaggerating. Here is the Sherpa getting Washocktuned:
Eventually I came to a sign for the ruins pointing down a jeep trail:
the road split into three and I took the center path:
It went down a steep hill and through a mud pit. I took the left track. A wide bike wouldn't have made it I don't think:
It turned to muddy single track. I followed it for a few kilometers even though I knew this probably was the wrong way. Nothing better than single track through the jungle out in the middle of nowhere in my book:
The trail kept going and eventually I turned around in a wide spot and doubled back. Took the right hand path this time and it led through the jungle on a single track eventually that led to this ruin. Really lost Mayan world feeling out here. I didn't see any observatory that Julio had mentioned so I wandered around. Seemed like a big flat area that used to be a city square of some kind:

Considering their cost they've been pretty good. 2 failures in 12 is not ideal but they've had a real hammering and their plastic coats have almost fell off from use and they look like they've been sat in water for too long - probably during very wet events

This is a topic over which I've gotten into arguments with people multiple times. Do you think it is ever, at any point, appropriate for a man to hit a woman. And with hit I'm not talking about abuse or what have you. Here I'm really asking, do you think it is ever appropriate for a man, if hit by a female, to reciprocate the blow. I'll withhold my opinion for the time being as to not influence the flow of discussion. But it's really something I'm interested in hearing about from both sides.
Do you ever think it is okay for a guy to hit a girl?

The Tuscany region
All the main art cities of Tuscany (Pisa, Siena, Arezzo, San Gimignano) are within 1 hour driving.
Florence is a World Heritage Site.
According to statistic produced by UNESCO 60% of the world's most important works of art are located in Italy and approximately half of these are in Florence.
If you travel by car the villa's location at the south-eastern edge of Florence is a good starting point for going on excursions to the Chianti region, to Siena or to the coast, as the feeder road to the autostrada highway (exit Firenze-Sud) is only 3 km distant and can be reached easily without having to pass through the city centre.
Here you live in a green resort, far away from the bustle of the city with its humming motorbikes and honking cars. While the location is far from disturbance, it is only a short bus ride into the city.
All museums are within easy reach, as are the nearby small towns of Fiesole and Settignano. The hill of Settignano, just behind the estate, preserves some of the most attractive Florentine villas. Wonderful walks lead towards Settignano, Corbignano and, through of wood of cypresses, as so far as Fiesole.
It was in these hills designed by man that Giovanni Boccaccio, Desiderio da Settignano, Bernardo and Antonio Rossellino, Michelangelo, Leigh Hunt, Charles Armitage Brown, Janet Ross, Edward Hutton, Mark Twain, Niccolò Tommaseo, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Bernardo Barenson and many others found their inspiration.

Things to do in London: Visit the new baseball and cricket exhibition at Lords
Published: Tuesday 8th of June 2010
A new exhibition of baseball and cricket artefacts and memorabilia has opened at the London attraction Lord's Cricket Ground.
Collections on display have been drawn from the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown.
Contributions to the exhibition have also been received by the CC Morris Cricket Library and Collection in Philadelphia.
It is hoped that the new collection will enhance the tourist experience of US visitors to London, who can combine the visit with a Lord's cricket ground Tour and visit to one of the capital's great sporting venues with the Chelsea FC Stadium Tour.
MCC curator Adam Chadwick explained that the exhibition is the first to explore the two sports of cricket and baseball side by side.
He said: "Cricket today stands on the brink of an astonishing metamorphosis.
"Thirty years after the first changes wrought by its own 'World Series', the newly minted Twenty20, the shortest and shiniest form of the game yet, promises to complete a transformation from national pastime to international entertainment."
Prudent tourists may even be able to arrange their visit to the museum to coincide with the one day international test between England and Australia on July 3rd.

As many of you already know I trapped a beautiful immature red-tail this past weekend. The day we trapped my new red-tailed hawk we arrived in Montrose Colorado right around first light and started driving around looking for red-tails. Armed with my homemade Bal-Chatri (AKA BC) trap, two young rats, and a good pair of binoculars, I was ready to go. A Bal-Chatri trap is essentially a weighted down wire cage with nooses all along the outside. You place your bait animal inside the trap and the hawks feet become entangled in the nooses when it lands on the trap. Because the trap is weighted down the hawk is unable to fly away. At that point you run up and grab the hawk, preferably without getting footed or bitten. Trapping is by far one of the most exciting things I have ever done. I love it! It is also a good way to draw attention and suspicion. Picture this, you see some strange person sitting out front your house in their vehicle with binoculars, someone tossing strange objects from a slowly moving vehicle, picking up strange objects from the side of the road, and handling distressed looking birds of prey. You would probably be concerned or suspicious and I would not fault you for that. I have been pulled over twice trapping, followed once, and had people stop and question me several times. My first falconry sponsor was kind of a jerk and refused to tell one person what we were up to while we were out trapping together. That was the person who tailed us and also reported us to the police which led to me being pulled over. I am a firm believer in talking to people. Before I knew about falconry I would have been concerned if I had witnessed this activity too. On a side note trapping birds of prey without the proper permitting is highly illegal. Please do not attempt this without a falconry license. Please visit http://www.n-a-f-a.com/AboutFalconry.htm for more information on falconry and how to become a falconer. Falconry is the most regulated form of hunting and requires an extensive time commitment. Many falconers refer to falconry as a lifestyle a rather than a hobby for this reason.
My fiancé Eric drove and we headed into the farmland area between Montrose, Delta, and Olathe where we have seen the most hawks in the past. We saw two red-tails within the first half hour but they were both too far away. Red-tails have excellent vision and can see a mouse from over a foot ball field away but our experience has been that setting traps on hawk that are far away is generally a waste of time. We finally found what looked like an immature red-tail near the road but she was sitting on a blind turn. Adult red-tails have brick red tail feathers that red-tailed hawks were named for and juveniles generally have brown banded tail feathers, though western red-tails sometimes retain banding into adulthood as I learned with the last dark morph red-tail I trapped (see my last blog). Adult birds are illegal to trap because they are part of the breeding population. Even if they were legal to trap young birds are much easier to train. Furthermore 70-80% of red-tails die in their first year but after their first year their survival rate increases exponentially. Chances are the juvenile birds I have trapped in the past would have died during their first winter. Under a falconer the mortality rate is only about 5%. The falconer also introduces the bird to larger prey that is available during the winter when smaller prey is scarce and many falconers eventually release their birds back into the wild, thereby increasing the chances that that bird will survive. Passage birds (birds taken after they have left the nest in their first year) return to the wild quickly and easily. Every bird I have trapped so far I have flown for a season and released the following spring. Now back to the immature red-tail we saw near the road.
We slowed down to almost a stop near the red-tail and I tossed out the trap. The problem with this scenario is we couldn't see the trap without being too close to her. Red-tails are generally comfortable with moving vehicles but will take off if you stop too near them and sit and stare. Generally we drive at least a couple hundred yards down the road and sit and watch the bird and the trap with binoculars. In this case we were able to see the bird in the tree but not the trap. Bal-Chatri traps need to be monitored constantly because after the bird is trapped if it is left it can be injured, it is vulnerable to predators, and the bird can potentially drag the trap towards the road where it could be hit by a car if you leave it unmonitored. For these reasons it is highly illegal to leave a BC unattended. We found a spot where we could see her in the tree but we still couldn't see our trap. Within a couple minutes of watching her I saw her dive from her perch towards the trap. Because I couldn't see the trap to make sure she was entangled we had to drive up so she wouldn't be trapped too long. The problem with this is many birds will walk around the trap or move to a closer position to look at it before landing on it or footing it. Sure enough we pulled up and she was sitting about 2 feet from the trap looking at it. She saw us, took off and kept going. I was pretty disappointed because I had gotten a good look at her and she was definitely an immature bird. It was still early though and we had already seen a handful of red-tails.
We drove past two adult red-tails and finally saw another bird that looked like a juvenile in a good position. I dropped the trap in a good spot and we continued to drive past the bird down the road. I watched the bird in the rear view mirror and as we started turning around we saw wings up in the air on top of the trap. The bird had gone for the trap almost immediately! The bird was caught, and my heart was racing a million miles an hour. When you see flapping wings or the birds wings in the air that usually means they are trapped though sometimes they may only have a noose or two around their toes and may still be able to get free before you get to them. A car was approaching from the opposite direction so we put the petal to the metal and got to the trap before the other vehicle drove by. I grabbed a towel from the back seat and approached the red-tail. As I approached I saw that it was an immature bird and my excitement grew exponentially. I tossed the towel on the bird so s/he couldn't see me and grabbed its feet to protect myself from being footed. The feet are definitely the business end of a red-tail but like an alligator's jaws they have very strong muscles for closing their feet and weak muscles for opening them. If you hold their feet closed and stay out of direct range of their beak you are generally safe. I looked the bird over and he seemed thin feeling his keel (breast bone) but otherwise was in great shape and had nice beefy feet. I couldn't tell the sex of the bird just by looking at it. It was smaller than my last female but bigger than either of the males I had trapped. I have been successful with both males and females and I was happy just to trap a legal bird that was in good physical condition. At that point I knew this bird was coming home with me. We put a hood on him, fitted him with jesses (the leather straps that you hold the bird by), and he rode home on my glove.
The jury is still out whether it is a small female or a large male but that is common in red-tails and there is often overlap in weight between the sexes. Generally males are about a third smaller than females. One of my falconry books said that if the bird hunting weight is over 38 ounces than it is probably a female. I trapped this red-tail at 36 ounces and s/he was skinny. Chances are it's a large male but we'll see what his/her flying weight is. Even that is not 100% accurate and chances are I may never know for sure. This bird's sex is not that important in the scheme of things though I need to pick a name a pronoun soon for my own sanity. Either way I am so excited to have a bird to train and fly this season. Stayed tuned to find out how his training progresses. He is already taming down nicely and eating from the fist! Step one is getting them to sit on your glove without jumping off and hanging upside down, step two is to eat from your glove, and step three is to hop to the glove. We may even accomplish step three tonight. Then we will move onto step 4, flying to the glove. Thanks for reading!

THURSDAY, Feb. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Tobacco company ads are reaching teenagers and influencing their desire to smoke and what brands they choose, U.S. health officials report.
"We are continuing to find that Marlboro, Newport and Camel brands, among the most heavily advertised brands, continue to be overwhelmingly the preferred brands of cigarettes smoked by middle school and high-school students," said Terry F. Pechacek, associate director for science in the Office on Smoking and Health at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The industry will deny that they are marketing to underage youth, but our data are showing that the advertising is still reaching the kids," Pechacek said.
A spokesman for one of the tobacco companies defended its marketing program. "Kids should not use tobacco products of any kind," said Philip Morris USA spokesman David Sutton. "We take youth access to tobacco products seriously."
"We have made a significant effort, both at retail and marketing, to connect only to adult smokers," Sutton added.
The brand preferences in the report mirrors what is seen in the marketplace among adult smokers, Sutton said. "If you look at those preferences, they line up with market share among adult tobacco consumers," he said.
Each of the major cigarette companies in the United States has a leading youth brand, Pechacek said. "Industry documents show that all the tobacco companies are continuing to note that if they don't have a leading youth brand, they are in corporate trouble," he said.
Marlboro is marketed by Philip Morris, Camel is made by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., and Newport is from Lorillard Inc.
The report, in the Feb. 13 issue of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, found that 78 percent of middle school students and 87 percent of high-school students prefer to smoke these three brands.
In addition, there was a considerable difference in the brands preferred by boys and girls, and blacks and whites.
Marlboro is preferred by 50 percent of middle school girls and 54 percent of high-school girls, while the brand is preferred by 38 percent of middle-school boys and 50 percent of high-school boys. Camels were smoked by 12 percent of middle-school boys, compared with 4 percent of girls.
Newport, a menthol cigarette that is primarily marketed to black communities, was the preferred brand for 60 percent of black middle-school students and 79 percent of black high-school students, according to the report.
In a recent report, the U.S. National Cancer Institute said there is sufficient evidence to conclude that tobacco advertising is directly related to getting people to smoke, Pechacek said.
"Our data in this study, without implying intention, [shows] we are finding that adolescents are being heavily exposed to advertising," Pechacek said.
In an editorial note accompanying the CDC report, researchers noted that, in 2004, 85 percent of teens saw tobacco ads in stores, 50 percent saw them in newspapers or magazines, and 33 percent saw them on the Internet. A whopping 81 percent of teens saw smoking on television or in the movies.
Pechacek noted that the U.S. National Cancer Institute report found that partial bans on tobacco advertising are ineffective, and a 2007 report by the Institute of Medicine called for stronger measures to control tobacco advertising.

'Solar freedom' law won't see light of day
The General Assembly has upheld Gov. Bob McDonnell's veto of legislation preventing community associations from prohibiting the installation of solar panels on homes.
The Senate could not muster the votes to override the veto of Senate Bill 627, which had been sponsored by Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax.
Petersen expressed disappointment that his "solar freedom" bill will not become law. He said the bill would have allowed all Virginians who live in homeowners associations to lower their electricity bills and qualify for federal tax credits by installing solar panels on their houses.
Some community associations traditionally have prohibited or restricted solar panels for aesthetic and property-value reasons. In 2008, the General Assembly passed a bill proposed by Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, to address that situation.
Wagner's measure said that after July 1, 2008, community associations could not impose rules to "prohibit an owner from installing or using a solar energy collection device on that owner's property. However, a community association may establish reasonable restrictions concerning the size, place, and manner of placement of such solar energy collection devices."
Because of a grandfather clause, that law did not affect solar-panel prohibitions that had been in place before July 1, 2008. That's why Petersen introduced SB 627 this legislative session.
"Ninety-nine percent of the homeowner associations' covenants were unaffected by the law in 2008 because the restrictions already existed," Petersen said. "My bill struck out the grandfather clause and said this will be the state law across the board and prohibitions on solar panels are not enforceable in Virginia."
During the General Assembly's regular session, the Senate passed SB 627 on a 31-8 vote, and the House approved it 74-24.
But on April 9, McDonnell vetoed the bill.
The governor said the 2008 law provided community associations with more than enough opportunities to change previous covenants regarding solar panels. SB 627 was an attempt to retroactively enforce that law, McDonnell said. He said it would have violated both Virginia and United States laws.
"Senate Bill 627 appears to contradict the general legislative rule that statutory enactments are applied prospectively," McDonnell said. "In addition to the problem of retroactive application, the legislation potentially violates both the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 10) and the Virginia Constitution (Article I, Section 11) by 'impairing the obligation of contracts.' "
Overturning a veto requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. That means getting 27 senators to vote in favor of overriding the vote.
Last Wednesday, the Senate voted 21-18 in favor of overturning McDonnell's veto – and so the vote failed.
Solar installation has become increasingly popular around the country, creating new jobs and a new way to power homes and businesses, Petersen noted.
"There are a lot of new technologies out there in residential improvement industry which we need to encourage. Solar installation is certainly one of them," he said. "The businesses that install solar panels are small businesses, and I want to make sure that they can sell their products and not go up against a lot of red tape and legal prohibitions."
In an interview, Petersen said he probably will reintroduce the legislation in the future.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

The best is yet to come
I believe that if your heart is empty, your mind doesn't matter; I want to share the best things in life like laughing so hard together that you start to cry or hugging each other and never wanting to let go. My friends describe me as intelligent, funny, loving, and caring. The first thing that people tend to notice about me is my sincerity (so I've been told). I've also heard that I'm not what you may expect. My perfect match is ALL MAN and ALL HEART. I fall for the gentleman. He is funny, considerate, strong, and he says what's on his mind. He provides me with what I need because he knows I will give him what he wants. Oh, I am kind of a goofball...I hope that's okay. And if you hunt for sport, are uncomfortable with direct women, or "work hard and play hard", I'm pretty sure I'm not the one for you.

2nd and Seven – You can't win
without the ball – The first tenet in Big Ten defense – stop
the run. Indiana hasn't satisfied that tenet for a few years,
but especially last season. The Hoosiers gave up a whopping 215
yards per game and if the Hoosiers are concerned with getting
themselves into bowl contention, they better improve this one
facet of their overall defense or it could be another long
season. The defensive line returns interior guys with
experience, but the linebackers have some holes to fill with
Kyle Killion and John Pannozzo graduating. Even though the
Hoosiers time of possession last season, on average, was equal
to its opponents, the tell-tale sign of how this defense is
performing is run yards per carry/per game and time of
possession. If those aren't positive stats for the Hoosiers,
they'll be flirting with the Big Ten cellar this year.
3rd and Three – Leaving his
heart in Bloomington – Indiana's return game is solidified
by one of the smallest players in the Big Ten - Lance Bennett.
The accomplished song writer concocts his own tune when he's
running back punts and kicks – averaging 6.6 yards per punt
return and nearly 23 yards per kickoff return. Bennett's
quickness and explosiveness make covering punts and kicks
against Indiana about as difficult as stopping an offensive
play. He doesn't get much action on the offensive side of the
ball, but that doesn't mean that Bennett doesn't have the
opportunity to put pressure on opponents' defenses. Teams won't
be singing a happy tune when #3 has his hands on the ball.

DeKalb County — The Indiana State Police, with the assistance of the DeKalb County Sheriff Department, investigated a two vehicle head-on crash that occurred yesterday morning on State Road 1, which claimed the life of a 45 year old man from Butler and now a 13 year old girl from Fort Wayne.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Fire and Ice Festival has been cancelled, but only for this year. The winter event, sponsored by the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce, was to be held in January on the Courthouse Square.
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Doug Brown said the cancellation was due to scheduling conflicts, not financial reasons.
Chamber leaders and event organizers considered an alternative date, but was not successful in rescheduling the festival. However, Brown said there is already discussion for the festival's return in 2014.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City recently had an added presence at the Indiana Statehouse. Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel was mayor for the day in Indianapolis, and the event gave him the opportunity to meet with lawmakers and discuss important issues.
Daniel met with Rep. Kathy Heuer, Ind. Sen. Jim Banks and Rep. Dan Leonard. He had a chance to speak on issues that were important to local government.
CHURUBUSCO — Any writer worth their salt will advise aspiring authors to write about what they know. Wanda Howell, of Churubusco, did just that. She recently self-published a short story for children about farms, a dog and a rabbit.
"Rose and Rabbit Go to the Fair," is a tale about a farm with quite a bit of junk on its property. Rose, a curious sort of dog, happens to discover an old truck amid the piles.
COLUMBIA CITY — As the United States was plunging over the Fiscal Cliff, a rope was tossed as a solution. How well would it hold? This question and others were answered by Jim O'Donnell, Executive-In-Residence at Huntington University, at an economic lecture at Parkview Whitley Hospital Friday morning.
O'Donnell, who is known for adding humor and wit to his lectures, believes the forecast for the economic future, on the home front and abroad, could be pretty grim. He explained his bearish stance is based on trends and attitudes.
