For Colored Girls
- No Rating Available
Movie Review
Dark phrases of womanhood, of never havin' been a girl, half-notes scattered, without rhythm, no tune, distraught laughter fallin', over a black girl's shoulder.
So begins For Colored Girls, a film based on the 1975 play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Ntozake Shange's 20-poem play has been altered, of course, with director Tyler Perry adding characters, bolstering its freeform structure and adding a few elements that will be more familiar to Perry's fans than Shange's. Interwoven stories show what it can look like to be a black American woman—through several sets of hurting, harrowed eyes.
But despite the title, the film is not just for colored girls. While the issues that unfold here may particularly resonate with an African-American audience, the themes at play are, in some respects, universal: Infidelity and promiscuity abide no color barrier. Incest, rape and abortion haunt us all. For Colored Girls, in its narrative cadence, conveys what it means to be human in a flawed, perhaps failing world. Torn asunder by circumstances, crushed by events, the characters we see are still striving, through the everyday pain and poetry of life, to soar.
[Note: The following sections contain spoilers.]
Positive Elements
Beyond that one statement, very little that happens within the movie's confines is particularly positive. The women here are rocked from every corner, and many of the issues raised are the sorts of things very few churches or social groups dare to talk about. The content, then, is forceful and scathing.
But in real life, unspeakable cataclysms do happen. And when those things are reflected onscreen, we find a sincere, albeit sometimes faltering, community of women doing their best to pick up the pieces.
Gilda is the film's moral center—a busybody landlord who helps two women through their pain and self-destruction. She comes with tough love, telling promiscuous Tangie, "It ain't just sex, honey. It all has a root, and you got to find that root and pluck it." To Crystal—suicidal after her lover does something truly, truly horrible—Gilda says that she has to "take some responsibility" for what happened. "Until you do, you're just going to be living to die."
Other characters sometimes help each other as much as their fractured lives allow, but most are on voyages of self-discovery, forced to own up to their own mistakes before finding the strength to lend others a hand.
Spiritual Content
Alice, we're told, is in a cult. She prays to Elohim (one of the names the Bible uses to refer to God) for guidance, and she solicits donations for her "church." Her beliefs have strained her relationships with her two daughters. She despises Tangie, her oldest, for her promiscuity—calling her "the devil" at one point. And when Alice learns that her youngest, Nyla, had an abortion ("That what was growing inside you was a sin," Alice says later; "it had to be destroyed"), she makes her pray before a phalanx of candles while she smears Nyla's forehead with the mark of the cross and pours oil on her head. When Nyla freaks out, Alice grabs her and tries to perform an impromptu exorcism. Alice leaves a party because they're playing "the devil's music." Tangie calls out after her, "Yes it is!"
Crystal offers a spiritual monologue that invokes God. But in the end, it may reference a more metaphorical god than the real one: "I felt god in myself," she says, "and I loved her fiercely!"
Sexual Content
Nearly every character is dealing with and has been damaged by sex.
Tangie is the film's most promiscuous character. She uses sex as a form of power—an excuse to treat her one-night stands like dirt the next morning. And her sexual dysfunction has deep roots: Alice, we learn, was abused by her father and then, at 15, "given" to a white man so the father could have a light-skinned grandchild (Tangie) that he could also abuse.
One of her conquests mistakes her for a prostitute, telling her (as she tries to strip off his pants) that he might not have enough money.
Her recitation punctuated by sexualized dance moves, Nyla says she lost her virginity in the back of a car. We learn later that Nyla is 16 when one of Tangie's "dates" asks if Nyla would be interested in "joining" them. Tangie throws the guy out, asking him whether he's a pedophile.
Crystal lives with her lover. She refuses to marry him—in large part because he drinks and abuses her. The first time we see Crystal, she's weeping as her partner moves on top of her in bed. The man later thinks, erroneously, that Crystal has cheated on him.
Kelly, a government case worker, can't have babies because of an STD she contracted from an earlier boyfriend. She tells her husband the whole sordid story—including how her boyfriend cheated on her with one of her best friends.
Juanita, a social volunteer, is involved with a man who can't decide between her and another woman. Both repeatedly take him back, so he moves from place to place, apologetically groveling each time. Just when Juanita's determined to throw the guy out on his ear, he begins to kiss her, and his head works down her body (out of camera range) as she moans. She asks him if he brought condoms. (She teaches sex ed classes in the community, showing women how to best use condoms—given away free by the clinic.)
Jo, a high-powered magazine editor, is married to a man who—while insisting he's not gay—has sex with other men. We see him check out other guys' rears, draw eye contact with a man at an opera performance and get busted by the police for apparently engaging in oral sex in a car. Jo doesn't know until the end of the film, when she learns she's contracted HIV.
Yasmine, a dance instructor, finally agrees to go out on a date with a man who's been walking her to work for several days. When the date goes well, she agrees on a second—one in which she says she'll cook for him. But when he arrives at her apartment, he takes off his clothes (we see him from the back) and rapes her. She's pinned underneath him, crying, concentrating desperately on a nearby clock.
Elsewhere, we see men in various states of undress, and a woman with her bathrobe open, exposing portions of her breasts. Characters use coarse descriptions for sexual acts and sporadic double entendres.
Violent Content
Nyla gets an abortion—going to a back-alley practitioner named "Rose" who sterilizes her instruments with the whiskey she's drinking. "You don't have no name, girl," the abortionist says when Nyla tries to give hers, and the camera zooms in on instruments of the trade. Later, Nyla winds up in a hospital—mentally and/or physically traumatized from her encounter with Rose. She offers up a brutal poem describing her experience, describing the child "dying, dangling between" her legs, describing seeing "eyes between my thighs." "This hurts," Nyla says. "This hurts me."
Crystal's boyfriend gets violent when he drinks. We see him smash a glass against a wall when she brings him water instead of the alcohol he craves, and she and their two children obviously walk in fear of him. When a social worker asks one of Crystal's children how he got some bruises, the boy says he "just fell down"—words we know are lies. Gilda tells us that she hears, through the walls, the man beat Crystal, and she begs a social worker to help. Later, while watching Crystal's children, she (and we) hear Crystal and her lover fight again—watching as the pictures rattle against the walls.
After the fight, we see Crystal trying to stopper a bloody nose while the man takes his children back from Gilda. Things escalate again when he spies Crystal's boss's car waiting out front: He believes the chauffeur is Crystal's lover—and the father of their two children. In a rage, he grabs the children, dangles them out the window and lets go—sending them plummeting, screaming to their deaths.
In the aftermath, Crystal takes a bucket of water to the sidewalk and tries to scrub the bloodstain out of the concrete. "People walking all over it," she says, "my babies' blood." Then she tries to kill herself, overdosing on a bottle of pills.
Yasmine's rapist is eventually killed—stabbed offscreen while raping another woman. Yasmine is taken to the morgue to identify the body, and she slaps the face of the corpse. Women occasionally fight with each other, pushing and hitting.
Crude or Profane Language
About 13 f-words, another 10 s-words and several uses of "b‑‑ch," "b‑‑tard," "d‑‑n" and "h‑‑‑," along with crude and vulgar words for the human anatomy. God's name is misused once.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Crystal's lover's drinking problem was brought on, we're told, by wartime and postwar problems. Crystal asks if he's taken his medication, suggesting a mental condition. Yasmine admits to having "one sip of wine" before she was raped, adding that she doesn't typically drink. Several characters down wine, beer and mixed drinks. Monologues refer to alcohol.
Tangie, a bartender, serves a "double vodka straight" to a man whom she later takes home. She calls herself a "deliberate cokehead."
Other Negative Elements
Gilda is a nosy busybody, not above opening the doors of other people's apartments if given a good reason (and, truth be told, she usually figures one out).
We see Nyla vomit into a trash can—obviously in the throes of morning sickness.
For Colored Girls is unlike any movie I've seen this year—and maybe for a whole lot longer than that. It's constructed something like a jazz song—moments of brilliant solo improvisation bridged by a competent musical theme. The core tune may "work," but it's the solos that push you back in your seat and leave you gasping for air.
The poems put forth in For Colored Girls are far from improvised, of course. But they are, for language geeks like me, beautiful—and a stark contrast to the movie's ugly, gut-twisting stories. With For Colored Girls, Tyler Perry has set aside his melodramatic morality tales and has given us something that, while still containing elements of earlier works, ascends—at times—to art.
But art can be hard on the ears and eyes and soul, and this piece of it has the ability to abuse its observers. For Colored Girls is not family friendly. It is not a film with a happy ending or pleasant moral. Through its lens, we're thrust into Gehenna—a place of filth and pain. And yet in its midst there is life and beauty, too. Much, I suppose, like what life can and sometimes does really look like in this fallen world.
"We should be immune if we're still alive," Tangie says. "How are we still alive?"
The question isn't perhaps whether we should watch this film or not … but how, when we see its celluloid problems in real life, we respond to them. For Colored Girls shows us a world of hurt that we bear responsibility to heal as best we can.

I won a pair of Salomon Men's XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX Shoes by winning an apple-bobbing contest here at Moosejaw. Hands down the best prize I've ever won in my many years of apple-bobbing. I used to wear them as a day-to-day shoe, but after using them on a hiking trip I've relegated them to be a trail-only shoe. Don't get me wrong, they're great as an everyday shoe, but they're SO GOOD on the trail that I'm saving them for that. Lightweight, durable, stable, the XA Pro 3D Ultra 2s excel in any condition. They'll block out the wetness on a sloppy trail but are still breathable enough to prevent internal moisture buildup.

January 3, 2013
By Jessica Zuckerman
In late November, brothers Raees Alam Qazi and Sheheryar Alam Qazi were arrested and charged with conspiring to detonate a weapon of mass destruction and to provide material support to terrorists. Until recently, details on the alleged plot were sparse. In a detention hearing on December 18, however, it was revealed that the men sought to avenge the deaths of those killed in drone strikes in Afghanistan by blowing up a New York City landmark.
This most recent plot signifies the 54th thwarted terrorist plot against the United States since 9/11 and serves as a reminder of the need to remain vigilant against the continued threat of violent extremism within the United States.
According to details released in the detention hearing of Raees Alam Qazi—a 20-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan—he traveled to New York City on November 24, 2012. Once there, he intended to get a job to fund his terrorist plans. Considering potential targets including Times Square, Wall Street, and Broadway theaters, Raees sought to avenge the deaths of those killed by drone strikes in Afghanistan by carrying out either a suicide attack or a bombing by a remote control device.
Not finding work, Raees returned to Florida on November 29 to further prepare for the attack. He and his older brother, Sheheryar Alam Qazi were arrested the next day. While it appears that Raees was intended to be the main perpetrator of the attack, Sheheryar is said to have supported his brother financially and logistically in planning the attack.
Raees allegedly told law enforcement officers that he had attempted to contact al-Qaeda and was inspired by the lectures of the now deceased al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and his group's English language magazine, Inspire. A search of the younger Qazi brother's home turned up materials including Christmas tree lights, wires, batteries, hydrogen peroxide, and a disassembled remote-control car, as well as what appears to be a goodbye letter to his brother.
Both men have been charged with conspiring to detonate a weapon of mass destruction and to provide material support to terrorists, and have pled not guilty. They remain in detention awaiting further trial.
Continued Threat of Violent Extremism
With the foiling of this most recent plot, at least 54 terrorist plots against the U.S. have been foiled since 9/11. Of these, the most frequent objectives have been domestic military targets and New York City. Indeed, during just the last few months of 2012 alone, New York City faced two potential attacks against the city's major hubs.
These thwarted attacks serve not only as a reminder of the continued threat of terrorism, but also of the need to ensure that our nation's law enforcement and intelligence authorities continue to possess the tools they need to halt attacks long before the public is in danger. At the same time, this most recent plot adds to the large number of terrorist attacks that could be considered to be homegrown within the U.S.—speaking to the importance of strengthening efforts to counter violent extremism in the U.S.
Ultimately, in order to better protect the U.S. and halt terrorists in their tracks, Congress and the Obama Administration should:
Regrettably, this most recent plot is not likely to be the last attempted attack seen by New York City, or the U.S. as a whole. However, by continuing to provide our nation's law enforcement and intelligence authorities with the essential counterterrorism tools they need, and by continuing to strengthen efforts to counter violent extremism, U.S. leaders can help ensure that the nation is better prepared to stop threats early on.

Where Honda engines came from..?
Test your knowledge or someone else's with trivia questions about your favorite subject. Let's be realistic with the questions so everyone has a chance at answering them.
5 posts • Page 1 of 1
What German motorcycle engine designed about 1950, with overhead cam and single unit crankcase and trans, was the direct inspiration for the early twins Honda designed more than 10 years later ??
Re: Where Honda engines came from..?
I dunno. But the original engine used in the very first Honda's was a washing machine engine.
Re: Where Honda engines came from..?
Guessing Horex probably had quite an influence.
Re: Where Honda engines came from..?
And the Grand prize goes to"""JOHNR"""for the correct answer. I have read of this Horex/Honda connection in several cycle puplications over the years. I had noticed the similarity in the engines already because I own a restored Zundapp Citation which was actually the Horex Imperator design, built and reworked for the American market buy Zundapp after Horex company folded.

LOWVILLE Lewis Lanes owners stand by their decision to sell the bowling alley at 7828 Route 26 for $1 million.
The only thing we did was we made a phone call. ... (Lewis County legislators) took over from there, said Richard E. Crouse, who co-owns the facility with his son, Derek. There was nothing to be said until the building was sold to them. They guaranteed us on that verbally. Once that was done there should have been no more repercussions on our end.
But the family has seen its share of repercussions following the financial decision. Already a team has left one of its weekday bowling leagues, and the Crouses have heard a rumor that others may depart as well.
The Crouses put up the offer to sell the bowling alley to the Lewis County Board of Legislators in October, after the board had voted not to build a county building on outer Stowe Street.
The offer was discussed and accepted, 6-4, by legislators Oct. 28.
It was supposed to be a cut-and-dried deal. Now its hard to look our bowlers in the face, and we have no problem with our bowlers, Mr. Crouse said.
The building would remain functioning as a bowling alley until the end of April, at which point it would be taken over by the county.
Following the announcement, bowlers have discussed their disappointment over the sale and over not being given fair warning that it was a possibility.
Every business owner has a right to make a decision of whats right for their future and family. And I believe that the bowlers and the community are just disappointed with how this was approached and handled by the owners and by our local county officials not all of them, said Beth Schaab, a three-league bowler at the alley.
The Crouses should have tried to sell the bowling alley as a bowling alley first and work with the legislators properly as a second plan, said avid bowler Spring Austin.
But the Crouses said they were not trying to give their loyal customers the slip. They simply were taking advantage of a financial decision that would assist their family in the long run.
Weve tried to make a business decision. Its not to hurt anybody; its to look out for us. We have families, Mr. Crouse said.
The business helps to support the 57-year-old and his wife, as well as their son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren.
Thats the problem. We can make it easily from year to year. But theres nothing left to put away, he said.
The owner for the past 11 years said the sale will allow the Crouses to pay off their mortgage which carried over following a 2009 fire that burned the original building as well as put some money away for retirement. The original building opened in 1959. Mr. Crouse and his son purchased the facility in 2002.
Mr. Crouse said he was unsure selling the building as a bowling alley would have done much more than cover the cost of the mortgage, which he estimated is about $200,000. Year to year, he said, the family took in a decent amount of money, but most of it goes to the mortgage and general operating costs, and even then business has been on a steady decline following the recession.
After the fire, the facility lost 42 league bowlers, and coming into this season it has been able to bring back only 27.
Its a steady decline. Its the economy, Mr. Crouse said. We see a steady decrease, and how long can we keep seeing losses in people?
Still, he admits he can see why bowlers are taking the decision with difficulty, and he wants bowlers to understand the decision was nothing against them.
Anybody whos been in business Ive got people coming here and shaking my hand that have never been in the place. They say, its a hard thing to do, Ive done it, too, but youre doing the right thing. We did not have to sell financially, but if we wanted to have a retirement, we had to start doing something.
Mr. Crouse works an estimated 95 hours a week, seven days a week. He said some days he has trouble getting out of bed in the morning, and he figured it was time to start cutting back.
Were not mad at our bowlers. We did our darnedest. We had a decent shot thats how we dressed the lanes and we made sure most people were happy. We cared for our bowlers and not one of them could tell you differently until this week, he said.

Josef Albers: The Interaction of Color-Formulation: Articulation
716 NW Davis St.
Love geometric abstraction? Run, don't walk, to this museum-quality exhibition of Josef Albers' prints. Albers literally wrote the book on color effects (his magnum opus, 1963's Interaction of Color) and in the prints that make up Augen's current show, the late, great abstractionist lays out all the arrows in his quiver. Squares, rhomboids and other shapes nestle within one another in chromatic combinations designed to delight and boggle the eye. An unexpected pleasure are the folded shapes in works such as Folio 2, Folder 21A, in which the minimalist master seems to channel M.C. Escher's illusionistic pretzels. This is a well-conceived, thoughtful show with much to offer both the uninitiated and the connoisseur of Albers' oeuvre. Through Feb. 2.

The faculty and staff of Millsaps College believe that sound advising of students regarding their academic program is an integral part of our educational mission. While it is ultimately the responsibility of each student to fulfill all of the requirements necessary to the completion of their chosen major or minor, we believe that it is our responsibility to make available appropriate assistance in course selection, choice of major or minor subjects, and selecting any collateral preparation needed to enhance a student's professional and personal potentials.
Academic advisors are mentors to their students, helping them to understand the value of academic planning not only as a means of fulfilling degree requirements, but also in the context of setting personal, professional, and intellectual goals and bringing them to fruition. Academic planning is a natural part of the liberal arts education, empowering and enabling students to take responsibility for shaping their own lives.

About Range Hoods
Range hoods may seem like appliances that don�t require much thought, but proper kitchen ventilation is far more important than you may realize. Each time you fire up your cook-top, countless pollutants are vaporized into the air that you and your family are breathing. Installing the right range hood for your kitchen will help to reduce cooking smells, greasy deposits and even carbon monoxide. Sizing, power, and instillation types are three important factors to consider. For a breakdown of how to properly select a range hood, our expert tips will guide you through the process (
Tips From an Expert
). Our customer assistants are extensively trained on the features, types and instillation of range hoods. Please feel free to call, email or chat with one of our professional consultants (
Contact Us
). Choose from our full line of range hoods from economy, under-cabinet hoods to high-end copper and stainless steel installations from top brands including Air King, Broan and Sirius. Or, if you�re looking for a custom range hood to match your kitchen, we can advise on custom applications including inserts, facades, wood hoods and more.
The purpose of a range hood is to reduce heat, steam, smoke and cooking odors and to vent them to the outside. Range Hoods also trap cooking grease that would otherwise end up on your walls, cabinets, and ceiling. When deciding which range hood is right for you, there are some key things you should think about. Position, size, power (or cfm), ducting options, and style are some of the most imprtant things you will need to consider. In addition, some range hoods optional features such as variable speed control, lighting, and filter types. Our range hoods expert at Kitchensource.com is happy to help you in choosing the range hood that is right for you. In addition, we provide detailed specs and installation instructions as well as unbiased product reviews to help you in your selection process.
Below is a general overview to help in your selection process. For more complete help, see
"Tips from an Expert"
Types of Range Hoods:
Wall Mount Range Hoods is directly affixed to the wall and may have a decorative chimney, or soffit, to line up with the top of your cabinets or to "disappear" into your ceiling. An under cabinet range hood is fixed to the bottom of a cabinet. It may duct directly out the back, may go up through the cabinet or, may go up a little and then out the back. A ceiling mount or island range hood hangs from the ceiling over an island or peninsula. It may also hang from peninsula wall cabinets. Downdraft units are units in which fumes are drawn downwards under the floor and out (like for a clothes dryer) or into a basement and out and are most often used in an island situation if you don't want to block a view - or if your range top needs to be placed in front of a window.

Range Hood Power:
Choosing the right CFM for your range hood is very important. There are many factors to consider when determining the CFM you need, such as the type and output of your range top, the size of the hood, the positioning of the hood, plus the length and configuration of your ductwork.
See more >
Range Hood Size:
Ideally your range hoods just be just wider than your cooktop. This extra width will carry off much more of the fumes and make your kitchen ventilation that much better. If you decide to match the hood and cook top width, just watch out for possible scorching of the bottom inside corners of the cabinet.

Range Hood Ducting:
It is important that your range hood is ducted correctly to prevent resistance and keep noise levels down.

Naval Academy Receives Five-Star Accreditation
Posted on: May 09, 2013 08:00 EDT by MC2 Alexia Riveracorrea
The Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk recently awarded the Naval Academy's Food Service Division its first five-star accreditation for maintaining the highest level of Navy food service quality.
The accreditation places the Naval Academy as one of the Navy's top shore facilities, said Chief Warrant Officer John Lukeivic.
The Naval Academy Food Service Division produces approximately 13,500 meals each day to feed the 4,500 midshipmen in the brigade. The brigade eats together at set times each day, and those 4,500 meals have to be served in minutes.
Additionally, the food service team provisions yard patrol craft with food for 50 midshipman summer training evolutions in remote locations and caters more than 900 events each year with more than 40,000 guests.
With their active schedules, midshipmen consume an average of 3,600 calories daily, including 1,100 gallons of beverages, 4,000 pounds of meat, 6,000 pounds of vegetables, 1,200 loaves of bread and 300 gallons of ice cream.
All of this is accomplished by a staff composed of 80 chefs, 75 servers and 20 military supply personnel.
"The volume of feeding here is equivalent to an aircraft carrier," said Chief Warrant Officer Kathy Wiseman. "It's fast paced. We have to get the food out very quickly, and the meal time is short, not like on a ship where the meal time is 24 hours a day."
The five-star accreditation recognizes overall food service excellence in key areas including customer service, cleanliness, food preparation, administration, equipment safety, sanitation and waste disposal.
"Because the Naval Academy never played in this inspection before, we had to come up with a new checklist and guidelines," said Lukeivic. "We recently completed a $47 million renovation, stood up the food court, and implemented new cooking techniques and services."
The food management team from Fleet Logistics Center inspected everything from meal preparation, sanitation, day-to-day operations and records.
"Being the first time the Naval Academy was inspected for this qualification, this is a pretty amazing accomplishment," said Lukeivic. "The military and civilian staff really focused and worked together to prepare for this. We do a phenomenal job, and I couldn't be prouder."

Comments about La Sportiva Quantum Trail Running Shoe (Women's):
I love these shoes so much that I'm buying another pair. I've had them for about 3 years and I use them as an approach shoe to the crag. I also trail run in them from time to time. I do some pretty sketchy scrambling to get the cliff, and these definitely can handle it. They have great traction and I usually just adjust the laces to accomodate the degree of difficulty of the approach. They are NOT waterproof, though, which is unfortunate, especially when approaches involve water and crossing rivers. They do, however, dry out pretty quickly. I use these in all seasons, though they aren't my favorite on really cold days. All in all, I think this is an excellent product and a high value item considering the cost.

Comments about La Sportiva Quantum Trail Running Shoe (Women's):
The La Sportiva Quantum rocks! All that I read about it was confirmed true last night. There are trails that I avoid in wet weather. Never again. We had a monsoon last night and there wasn't a dry rock to be found. Perfect timing for a test run on techincial up/downhills. The shoe runs about a half size small just like rockcreek.com suggests. I have narrow feet, and these fit me perfectly. The shoelaces are very thin, and stayed tight. The grippy sole gave me confidence on the bluff trail at Lookout and I found myself trying to jump rock to rock just because I was so excited about being able to!!

Record temperatures reported around Arizona
PHOENIX — As the Phoenix metro area continues to shiver through its
coolest stretch of weather since 1988, other parts of Arizona are reporting
record temperatures.
The National Weather Service says Monday morning lows of 21 degrees in Tucson,
11 degrees in Douglas, 10 degrees in Safford and 16 degrees in Sierra Vista
either broke or tied previous records.
In northern Arizona, the highest daytime temperature at Flagstaff's Pulliam
Airport was 16 degrees, breaking a record of 23 degrees set in 2007. The record
low maximum at the Prescott airport was 31 degrees, one degree lower than the
record set in 1962.
Another record was broken at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport, with a
daytime temperature of 45 degrees. That's slightly cooler than the previous
46-degree record.
Arizona authorities continue to tell residents to keep their pets inside and
cover any sensitive plants or outdoor plumbing.

The Ventus S1 noble2 is the Ideal Balance of All-Season Ultra-High Performance.
Designed with an Asymmetric tread pattern, the Ventus S1 noble2 incorporates a Four Channel Rib Design for efficient water evacuation and an advanced silica rubber compound to offer impressive wet handling and braking. A straight Rib Block design applied to the outside of the tire´s contact patch helps to prevent unwanted road noise and increase cornering grip. Multiple 3D Kerfs and Carving Edges provide improved winter condition traction.
Review update -(note M56S); I tried these instead of previous Bridgestone PP S04. The Bridgestones are in a different category of tire and as far as hard starting and cornering there is a marked difference. However, these do okay in all conditions including countering hydroplaning and are better all around than the original tires. The PP S04s only lasted 1 summer, so there is a steep cost for the out performance as these will last much longer. Have different snow tires (required in my climate) and have not tested these in any snow at all.

These tires are a slightly better and somewhat cheaper option than originals. However, these are NOT max performance tires. There's a huge difference between the S04 PP tires I used last summer (unfortunately they were only good for 1.25 summers. I was hoping not to trade in too much performance for extra durability- note that these all seasons are also worse in the wet. (I use different tires in the winter - which I didn't rate) .

Just put these on my 2013 Mustang GT after doing a lot of research. LOVE them! It now feels like the car I always wanted instead of the truck like bouncy ride feeling everything, I had. Quite, smooth and comfortable but grip well. The stock P0 Neros sucked! I was almost ready to change the suspension. Currently running Koni Yellows and stock Boss 302 springs.
They are a softer tire so if you track your car you may not like them but for the street they are great!

High Dose Intensity Modulated Proton Radiation Treatment +/- Surgical Resection of Sarcomas of the Spine, Sacrum and Base of Skull
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
There are two types of external radiation treatments; proton beam and photon beam radiation. What type of therapy participants will receive will depend upon the location of their tumor. Standard treatment would involve receiving either proton or photon radiation delivered by a three dimensional (3-D) conformal radiation technique. 3-D conformal radiation therapy is a technique where the beams of radiation used in the treatment are shaped to match the tumor in order to avoid damaging the healthy surrounding tissue. Standard treatment also may include photon radiation delivered by intensity modulated (IMRT) technique. In this research study we are using an investigational technique to deliver proton radiation therapy called intensity modulated proton radiation treatment (IMPT) which is used to target cancer while sparing healthy tissue. With IMPT (and standard IMRT), radiation intensity can be turned down during the treatment. This control over the intensity of the radiation dose has the potential to provide accuracy and allows us to more safely increase the amount of radiation delivered to the tumor. This accuracy may potentially reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with 3-D proton radiation therapy. Surgery is often an important component of the treatment for these tumors and may be integrated with the IMPT.

Despite their record this season, the Carbon High Lady Dinos volleyball team continued to battle every team they played down the stretch.
And because of that, a glimmer of hope still remained for the Lady Dinos to qualify for the 3A State Tournament.
After defeating Payson in four sets in a rescheduled game on Monday evening (25-22, 25-16, 17-25, 25-13), a shot at the playoffs was still a possibility.
The Lady Dinos needed a win against Spanish Fork to help put them in a tie for fourth place with Payson in the Region 12 standings.
Spanish Fork took an early lead and kept the Lady Dinos from making a comeback in the later sets as they came away with a four set win (20-25, 25-23, 22-25, 20-25) on Tuesday night at the Carbon High Gym.
"The girls left everything out on the court tonight," said CHS head coach Danielle Jensen.
Jensen said the Lady Dinos (4-17 overall, 2-8 Region 12) battled all season long despite being a younger team compared to their competition.
"We're a very young team with only three seniors on our team," Jensen said. "We've got to work on capitalizing on scoring chances and get more experience playing with each other as a team."
While it was a tough way to say goodbye to three seniors, Ashley Quinton, Kayleigh Potts and Samm Jeppson, Jensen said the future of the program will continue to grow and get better.
"We need to continue developing our younger players and put in a lot of time in the gym in the offseason," Jensen explained. "The experiences from this season will pay off for us in the future."
