Peer Connections Pre-Orientation Program (PCPOP Leadership Institute)
Welcome! The Office of Intercultural Engagement and Leadership (OIEL) is pleased that you are interested in our Peer Connections Pre-Orientation Program (PCPOP). PCPOP focuses on helping historically under-represented students successfully transition into the unique academic and social experiences available at Grinnell. By offering peer mentors, faculty support, dynamic workshops and a sneak peek at the campus, we seek to ease incoming students into life at Grinnell. More than just a pre-orientation program, PCPOP offers students an opportunity to make friends, mentors, and memories which will remain throughout their collegiate experience.
A critical aspect of the PCPOP model is our mentor – mentee relationships. Mentors are chosen from a pool of high achieving campus leaders. Mentees are paired with mentors based on shared interests, academic histories, regional similarities and various other factors. Mentors serve as a guide and support system for mentees and not merely tour guides. PCPOP mentors are available to share their experiences and offer candid perspectives on life at Grinnell. The mentor-mentee relationship is very fluid. Though we will encourage and help develop strong, long-lasting relationships through group activities and check-ins we allow both parties to form the kinds of mentor – mentee relationships which will prove most useful for their needs. PCPOP mentors will be but one of many mentors and resources on Grinnell's campus available to guarantee student success.
PCPOP directs first-year students on how and where to utilize campus resources to keep them on a successful trajectory, thus navigating the Grinnell College transition more successfully. The Academic Resource Center (ARC) colleagues serve an essential part of student success at Grinnell College. The writing, math, science and reading labs each significantly impact student success in the classroom and improve the overall student engagement. The PCPOP time management, education, leadership and study skills workshops provide training to adequately prepare for rigorous course work, examinations and the intense class curriculum. Throughout this program, we introduce students these resources.
We look forward to your arrival in August and the opportunity to introduce you to this dynamic community.

Kevin Zeese addresses the unfriendly to ordinary citizens end-of-2012 "fiscal deal" from Obama and Congress and the further challenges to come.
"... Congress passed a watered down fiscal cliff package that will raise taxes on everyone, but the worst is yet to come, and this "deficit cutting" measure contains some surprises.
"... Obama has been laying the ground work to cut social insurances since 2010.
"The "deal" only cut the deficit by $620 billion of the bi-partisan goal of $4 trillion so there are a lot of budget cuts ahead and they will not come from the military or national security state, they will come from the necessities of the people.
"The reason that the deal cut the deficit so little is because Obama backed off his campaign promise to raise taxes on the top 2%, and instead only repealed the Bush tax cuts on the top 1.5%, those earning over $400,000. As a result, rather than raising $1.2 trillion in revenue, the deal only raised $600 billion and part of that came from working people as payroll taxes were re-instated. The result will be more cuts on the rest of us – so later this year the bi-partisan cut to corporate tax rates can be passed.
"The "deal" was not all about cuts, as Matt Stoller writes, the deficit cutters were very generous to Goldman Sachs: "Goldman got $1.6 billion in tax free financing for its new massive headquarters through Liberty Bonds." Another gift to big finance and multinationals: a provision was included that allows U.S. multinationals to not pay taxes on income earned abroad at a cost $1.5 billion to the budget.
"And, the people will need their circuses as austerity hits so NASCAR got $43 million in tax breaks over two years to build race tracks and associated facilities. Hollywood studios received $150 million in tax breaks for 2010 and 2011.
"People facing foreclosure and living in underwater houses lost the small foreclosure relief programs that existed and tax laws were set to treat any write-down on a mortgage as income (i.e. if a mortgage was written down by $100,000 the tax payer had to pay taxes on $100,000 income) but the cliff deal delayed that tax change for one year.
"Taking care of ill family members at home was dealt a set-back with a provision in the Affordable Care Act designed to let millions of elderly and disabled people get help at home rather than be placed in institutional care being repealed.
"... People can expect much worse in the months to come unless they get organized and mobilize against austerity in a big way. Elected officials will need to be scared by the public in a big way to stop the bi-partisan assault on the people."
Gifts and more gifts to big finance ... unconditional rewards to the destroyers of our collective national welfare from our government (captured by them) leaders.
Lip service bullshit and economic abuse to the rest of us from Obama and the now austerity-hysterical Congress who gave approximately $17 trillion to enable the very group whose greed and fraud wrecked our eonomy originally and continues to do so full throttle thanks to these political enablers.
Zeese is asking that we wake up and push back FINALLY.
Time to resurrect the story of Brooksley Born this week and try to press how clearly it indicts these masters of the universe who have gang-raped Americans of their financial security. The truth of Born's story won't be highlighted with any help from a corporate-loving media, unfortunately, or a Congress that colluded with the financial clique headed by Greenspan that "killed" messenger Born's message OVER A DECADE AGO.
This is an article I wrote about Brooksley Born back in 2009 for FDL's Seminal.
No Foes to Fraud — Greenspan, Rubin, Summers — Owe Brooksley Born and the American Taxpayer a Big Fat Apology and a Ton of Money Saturday October 24, 2009 12:16 pm
Just in case you aren't incensed enough by tales of the Reverse Robin Hoods right now in Washington D.C., access Frontline's latest documentary, The Warning, to grasp just how long our economic train wreck was warned about and that warning willfully fought and ignored, even after a near meltdown over ten years ago.
My jaw never left the floor as Frontline unfolded Brooksley Born's noble but futile fight in the late 1990s for fiscal sanity in America against the ferocious, deregulation-loving Titans of Wall Street led by Alan Greenspan and his primary disciples, Robert Rubin (and his disciple, a young Timothy Geitner) and Larry Summers. Greenspan, an advocate of Ayn Rand's laissez faire philosophy of governance, had been given free rein during five presidential administrations. He and his free market, high-flying cronies would not abide any challenge to the long-cultivated bountiful status quo by an uppity female securities law enforcer.
In 1996 Brooksley Born was appointed chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a small, obscure, bureaucratic agency charged with monitoring agriculture futures and arcane financial instruments known as derivatives. Born had been a strong, successful, conscientious securities attorney and — oh yes — had an apparently RARE capacity to recognize right from wrong, bull markets notwithstanding.
Born had become a chum of Hillary Clinton when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. When Clinton was elected President, Born was put on the short list for Attorney General. Frontline discloses a rumor that, upon being interviewed, Bill Clinton dismissed her as "boring." The chair position was considered her consolation prize.
During an introduction lunch as guest of guru Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Born was stunned to discover his "absolutist" (Born's word) disdain for "regulation". In so many words, Greenspan advised her not to fret about any occurrences of fraud since, after all, the market would take care of the "fraudsters" by self-regulating itself. Government must detach and let the sacred market operate in freedom. Fortunately, Born had had plenty of experience with fraudsters as a securities attorney and was immune to Greenspan's intimidation and mystification powers when it came to economic philosophy. She had been top of her class at Stanford and President of the Stanford Law Review. The first female in both positions.
Soon after becoming Chairman of the CFTC, Born began to lose sleep from her growing awareness of the massive scope and recklessness of a new lucrative market called over-the-counter derivatives or "swaps" (bets between companies and banks). It was nicknamed the "black box" by Wall Street. Only the parties in the deal knew what was happening. It was a $27 trillion secret market at that point (now a $45 trillion one and growing). No transparency. No registering with an exchange, no one but the parties involved acquainted with the terms and scope of the loans. No official paper trail. The only detailed records were buried within the filing cabinets of the immediate players. Plenty of room for fraud. And the tremendous amounts of funds involved were capable of crashing the entire global market.
Thanks to a law suit filed by Procter & Gamble against Bankers Trust, Brooksley got a good look at how P&G had been fleeced out of millions due to this complicated derivatives market. There was evidence of audio-taped Bankers Trust brokers blatantly revealing their intention to fleece the company. "This is a wet dream" one employee exclaimed on tape. There was much celebratory chuckling over the successful "set up" of P&G as victim.
Born recognized the immediate need for government regulation of the banks to rein in what Nader has called "casino capitalism." To accomplish this she would have to do battle with the ferocious and hubristic deregulation-loving presidential palace patriarchs, who continued to ride high on the bull market harvests of the "go go" 90s, beloved by the national media. In 1998, Greenspan had just reassured an obsequious Congress that all was well, that the economy was the greatest he had ever seen. He was celebrating the unstoppable rewards of unfettered capitalism.
To Greenspan and his disciples, Brooksley Born was suddenly the proverbial mouse that roared. The Beltway Titans unleashed immediate condescension and wrath upon her. How dare this uppity, small fry, female fish in their fraud-friendly, group-think, kool-aid sea challenge the wildly lucrative deregulated system! To the well-heeled but amoral political and corporate cronied classes the ends totally justified whatever means. The bull market was a sign that all was perfect with the booming economy. This dangerous obstructionist woman was to be punished and silenced.
Upon Born's determination to arrange regulation for the derivatives market, Robert Rubin unleashed his enforcer, Larry Summers, on her. Summers accused Born of being about to trigger the greatest financial crisis since the end of WWII. He blasted her on the phone from his office which he revealed was filled with 13 enraged bankers.
God bless Born. She was all the more certain that something was VERY rotten in the District of Columbia. She pressed on with her plans. Rubin accused her of not having the authority to do so. She absolutely and legally had such authority. She was not accountable to him. The only way the power-playing financial fraternity could stop her was turning to Congress and the media to induce legislation and public opinion to disempower her. That is what they did, recruiting Arthur Levitt of the SEC to join in on the pile on.
Matt Taibbi, in passages from his heralded Goldman Sachs exposé (later highlighted by Jason Linkins), explains and unfolds the travesty well:
There was only one problem with the deals: All of the wheeling and dealing represented exactly the kind of dangerous speculation that federal regulators are supposed to rein in. Derivatives like CDOs and credit swaps had already caused a series of serious financial calamities: Procter & Gamble and Gibson Greetings both lost fortunes, and Orange County, California, was forced to default in 1994. A report that year by the Government Accountability Office recommended that such financial instruments be tightly regulated — and in 1998, the head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a woman named Brooksley Born, agreed. That May, she circulated a letter to business leaders and the Clinton administration suggesting that banks be required to provide greater disclosure in derivatives trades, and maintain reserves to cushion against losses.
More regulation wasn't exactly what Goldman had in mind. "The banks go crazy — they want it stopped," says Michael Greenberger, who worked for Born as director of trading and markets at the CFTC and is now a law professor at the University of Maryland. "Greenspan, Summers, Rubin and [SEC chief Arthur] Levitt want it stopped."
Clinton's reigning economic foursome — "especially Rubin," according to Greenberger — called Born in for a meeting and pleaded their case. She refused to back down, however, and continued to push for more regulation of the derivatives. Then, in June 1998, Rubin went public to denounce her move, eventually recommending that Congress strip the CFTC of its regulatory authority.
Taibbi, goes on … [take a deep breath] … and … wait for it:
In 2000, on its last day in session, Congress passed the now-notorious Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which had been inserted into an 11,000-page spending bill at the last minute, with almost no debate on the floor of the Senate. Banks were now free to trade default swaps with impunity.
Born had faced down four hostile Congressional committees, with high profile, vilifying economic superstars discounting her. She was clear. She was calm. She was brave. She was right. When one hostile Congressional Committee rep sarcastically demanded to know what she thought she was doing, she quietly asserted, "We're trying to protect the money of the American public which is at risk in these [derivatives] markets."
Okay, one more time. She said, "We're trying to protect the money of the American public that is at risk in these markets." That was in 1998. Over 10 years ago. Congress, of course, over-bribed and over-trusting of the financial fraternity, went with the boys, dismissed her dire predictions, and then went off to summer recess.
Six weeks later, a hedge fund called LTCN, run by former Salomon genius John Meriwether, began to meltdown, causing quiet panic worldwide. Born's dire predictions had already begun to play out. The crisis was ultimately averted when Fed Chair Greenspan convinced 14 of the biggest banks to rescue the LTCN hedge fund with $3.5 billion a piece.
Was this a sobering lesson to vindicate Born in the eyes of the corporate and political fraternal order and to finally reconsider serious regulation and reform? Nope. Greenspan dismissed the crisis to his ever-enthralled Congress, helped by 5 financial lobbyists per representative, as an anomaly. Again, emphasizing that the real threat to the economy was from Brooksley Born. The messenger who must be "killed". It would seem the smarter the messenger, the more industrial strength the status quo koolaid.
Thanks to Ronald Reagan's super successful anti-regulation indoctrination, the Wall Street elite was placated by Clinton and the Congress over a decade ago, in such similar ways as the placation by Obama and the present Congress. In fact, some of the very same Goldman Sachs power playing insiders are still in the game.
So instead of regulation, the bank-lobby-loving Congress gutted the power of Born's department. Born resigned and returned to private practice in Washington, D.C., knowing full well what was coming down the pike to disenfranchise and destroy the quality of life of millions of citizens. She had done all she could do.
Just like a decade later, in this post-TARP climate, narcissism, greed, hubris, self-aggrandizement prevailed. The welfare of the public was not even on the priorities list. The in-your-face self-indulgence of the haves doomed the lives of the have nots. And now, with "moral hazard" behavior encouraged, whereby investment corporations too large to fail realize they will be protected no matter what further risks they take, the market Born strove to rein in is now all the more reckless and dangerous.
As for those mighty, celebrity, financial fools-for-fraud? Where are they now? Arthur Levitt, former Chair of the SEC, seems the only one making public amends to Ms. Born.
Alan Greenspan retired one year before the 2007 financial meltdown, returned for a hearing to Congress to admit that perhaps his 40-year philosophy, what he earnestly applied to his 18 years of steering the Fed, had "a … er … ahem … flaw." How impressed were the media and the power players that heard such a brave admission from the great Mr. Greenspan! Poor, vulnerable, clay-footed Alan? What about the situation of the bottom 99% of a struggling America?
Robert Rubin, legendary Goldman Sachs alumnus, upon leaving his powerful role in the Clinton administration went to work for Citibank, which incidentally, is NOW receiving $100 billion of the bailout money. $100 billion!
Larry Summers? According to "middleagedwomanblogging":
Larry Summers, of the "Good Ole Boy" fame, is now one of Obama's top economic advisers. Summers pocketed over $5 million last year from one of the biggest hedge funds in the world along with another cool $2.7 million for speeches delivered to Wall Street firms who have received government bailout money. Robert Rubin and Timothy Geithner, now United States Secretary of the Treasury who formerly worked under Summers and Rubin, are still very much in the mix.
Yes, lets all give Larry Summers enormous pots of money to lecture us on economics. Granted, Larry Summers is said to be finally talking the talk of regulation. But walkless talking seems to be the MO with this administration. And what an even tougher sale it is today to an even deafer Congress to stand up for the common good. Do a bank lobbied, campaign financed administration and Congress have the political will to seriously regulate?
The stranglehood of the financial lobby on Congress, 5 reported lobbyists per representative, is not unlike the stranglehold of the health care lobby on them. Does regulation of the infamous credit default swaps have the same snowball's-chance-in-hell as Congress' embracing of the fiscal not to mention moral sanity of Single Payer Medicare for All? Or of Congress' and the President's public-entreatied mandate to end the wars in the Middle East?
I suppose the curbing of a few obscene executive salaries is the crumb the betrayed citizenry is being tossed. Did you notice that the same week that we all heard about the record-breaking Goldman profits and bonuses for the last quarter of this year, the state of Colorado lowered the minimum wage?
What we have here, folks, is "taxation without representation." Big time. We are so not represented in terms of financial, health care, and military decisions. No wonder at the end of his capitalism movie, Michael Moore runs around Wall Street encircling entire blocks with yellow, crime scene tape.
As for Barack Obama, what can we make of his rewarding, promoting and embracing the very same, long-term engineers of the worst financial crisis since the Depression? The men who snatched catastrophe from the jaws of Brooksley Born's rescue of our economy over a decade ago.
end of quoted blog
This from Patrick Martin at wsws very well sums up the amoral manipulations of the ruling class elite to continue the economic devastation of the citizenry, especially the sick and elderly. Obama et al. have little economic tolerance for such real-life conditions.
"The American financial aristocracy has spent several decades consumed by the single-minded aim of extracting as much money as possible through speculative and parasitic operations. It is an occupation to which it has given redoubled attention over the past four years in order to ensure that the rich not see their fortunes diminished by the economic crisis they fostered.
"Yet it is not they who must pay—not the multi-millionaire hedge fund managers or corporate executives—but the elderly and infirm. The flood of right-wing media pontification is all based on the unquestioning acceptance that society can no longer afford to have its population get old or sick.
"Amidst these calls for austerity, the US stock market is at a five-year high, having largely recovered from the losses of the 2008 financial crash. American corporations are sitting on a cash hoard of trillions of dollars.
"The political and media establishment treats the vastly unequal distribution of wealth and income as an unalterable fact of life. The vast sums of wealth accumulated by the ruling class have been based on a looting operation that, at all costs, must be continued. Whatever drains on profit and private wealth still exist—including social reform programs that were a bedrock of the post-war social and political order—are targeted for elimination.
"Such conditions speak to a social order, capitalism, that has lost all historical legitimacy. The fact that this social system can no longer afford the pensions and health care which tens of millions of retired workers have earned through many years of labor is an argument, not against the elderly, but against the profit system."

... and Rubinite Lew is coming in. Thanks Citibank! But I'm sure DC won't believe that Rubin's work was the proximate cause of the collapse, last time or this time.
for bringing up the "Bowles-Simpson proposed means-testing."
Jan Schakowsky refers to this in her Reuters Op-Ed:
Under Simpson-Bowles, long-term solvency for Social Security is achieved mostly by cutting benefits. Seventy-five years out, the ratio of spending cuts to revenue increases is 4 to 1.
For future retirees, all these changes taken together would reduce the average annual benefit for middle-income workers – those with annual earnings of $43,000 to $69,000 – by up to 35 percent.
Actually, Bowles-Simpson lowers the 'replacement rates' for future retirees (including Boomers) beginning at $9,000 annual income. It's just not as steep of a cut as the $43,000 to $69,000 range.
Imagine the gall it takes to start cutting into the monthly benefit checks of folks with annual incomes pretty much at the FPL (Federal Poverty Level).
This cannot be emphasized enough.
I crack myself up sometimes.
way back in 2007, well before he ever announced for the Dem presidential nomination???
I'll bet Obama told his richie rich mentors/sponsors he would do that loooonng before then...one of the reasons Wall Street backed him no doubt to take out Hillary, who, no matter what she's done since, would not have done what Obama did. Seriously. (Now please don't go all eleven dimensional chess on me, ok?)
It's what set Krugman's hair on fire and he warned lefties that Obama was using Repub talking points and had illogical objectives (also Repub objectives, of course).
I noticed (thanks to Atrios) right before the IA primaries, and no doubt there are earlier quotes...

Let me begin by saying I will be 72 this October. I work out in a gym 3 or 4 days a week doing mostly cardio stuff on the treadmill and stairmaster. I also do leg work on the weight machines. My workouts take about 1 1/2 hours. During the spring/summer/fall, I walk 3 to 4 miles over hilly terrain near my place 3 to 4 days a week in the evenings.
The hardest part for most hunters (IMHO) is getting used to the altitude, especially the ones who live at less than around 3000 feet. I live at 6800 feet so I have a distinct advantage in that respect.
At my age and even with a total knee replacement that is 10 years old, I can usually keep at it all day. Each summer I do several high altitude hikes in a local wilderness area to fish. Usually do the 10 or so mile roundtrip in a day and hike to 11,000 to fish.
Just keep at it, and at my age, no looking back as they might be catching up!!!

TNB: Cry of the Colorado Fussy Snivel
If you've ever visited this state during the warmer months you've encountered them. They display pale plumage and roost in the shady spots, panting and fanning themselves with their wings. Their vocalizations are mournful and have been described by one ornithologist as "sounding like a petulant child cutting an eyetooth."
To those of us who grew up south of the Mason Dixon, especially that Midwestern climactic hellhole we'll euphemistically refer to as "Texahoma," the sight of these beasts cowering and lamenting in the perfect shady temps of 80 degrees and 12 percent humidity evokes no feelings of pity. A Mexican guy, also a climber and bird watcher, said that the fussy snivels made him reflect on the bittersweet knowledge that the self must one day die. But as I watched these strange birds cringing from the sun like fish-bellied golems, I found myself thinking about snakes, and Quartz Mountain, Oklahoma, in August of 1980.
By the time we roped up for Moosehead (5.10a), we'd been climbing for four hours in the direct sun, without water, and I was starting to feel like a day-old cod croquette in a double boiler at the Luby's cafeteria in nearby Altus. The first symptoms of heat stroke that I discerned were nausea and dizziness. By the time I clipped the anchors and lowered to the slope I was feeling really wobbly. When my feet touched down, my breakfast—oatmeal, tortilla chips, picante sauce, a fried peach pie, coffee and a Big Red soda pop—slithered out of my mouth as easy as pulling a greasy string out of a cat's ass.
Keith had heat stroke, too. His ears and neck were beet red and his eyes looked devilish—swollen and pink—like some angry god had tipped open his pupils and filled the whites with Big Red. Keith quickly unclipped and down-soloed the low fifth-class slab to the boulder field where he vomited an equally diverse breakfast and hid in the shade.
At this point I was way too woozy to downclimb the hundred-foot slab, but I desperately needed to get out of the sun and cool down. It felt like someone was sawing into my brain with a bicycle sprocket and I briefly considered pitching myself into the talus and ending the piercing headache. Then I remembered that straight across the slab, not 50 feet away, was the entrance to a cave system—an exfoliation tunnel that led to a granite-floored chamber just a little bigger than a body-width from top to bottom, extending for a hundred claustrophobic feet. A cool (albeit fetid) breeze was always emanating from that gap.
I knew there were rattlesnakes in the cave because we used to toss pebbles in there and listen to them snapping their castanets, but only later did I hear about the snake expert from the Oklahoma zoo who'd examined the tunnels one winter while the serpents were dormant. He'd reported that there were so many snakes in there that over millennia they'd worn bathtub-like depressions into the granite.
The snakes cleared off a few feet, probably because I was putting out so much infernal heat—my boot soles sizzling like the tips of lit cigars—and I was able to squirm all the way into the cool cave and recover. That day I finally saw the sense in the proscription most Texahomans eventually adopt and pass on to our children: Never, under any circumstances whatsoever, venture outside into the nuclear heat, dangerous flora and fauna and winds that blow away towns.
I saw the logic but somehow never got behind the idea that a life can be built around seeking pleasure and avoiding discomfort. Maybe that's why the cry of the Colorado fussy snivel elicits no feelings of sympathy, but rather irritates me like a bad case of chiggers. As a climber I've habitually sought the edges, run headlong into discomfort, and there found the gold. These whiny little birds that populate the crags in Colorado seem never to have learned that the little discomforts (80 degrees! Oh my …) are actually the things that wake you up to the realization that this life isn't all about you, that the knee-jerk comfort orientation is what's dreadfully wrong with this world. Or maybe I've just been around too many crying babies lately.
Come to Colorado and you can judge for yourself. The fussy snivel can be found at every crag in the state. I'll be there, too, (if it's not too hot), reminding myself to heed the call of the robin this spring—cheer up, cheereo, cheer up—trying to remember that I could be shrinking from the Texahoma sun in a snake den.

Luxury lives within each meticulous detail inside the MDX. Both front seats feature pronounced side bolsters that provide lateral support for cornering and plenty of comfort for long drives.
The outboard 2nd-row seats closely mimic the front seats with comfortable contoured shapes and pronounced side bolsters to help hold passengers in place.
Mix it up. With the flexibility of a 60/40 split 2nd-row and 50/50 split 3rd-row seatbacks, the MDX easily adapts to a variety of passenger and cargo combinations.
Press a button on the key fob, and the tailgate will automatically open for you. When you're finished loading or unloading, just press the button again to power down and latch the tailgate.
There are four separate storage areas within reach of the driver and passengers with plenty of space for their travel accoutrements including a unique center console that features a combination of large and small compartments.
To maximize comfort for all passengers, the MDX features a tri-zone automatic climate control system that allows the driver, front passenger and rear passengers to adjust their own temperature and airflow settings.
When the climate control is in automatic mode and direct sunlight is warming one side of the cabin, the system will automatically adjust to compensate for the heat gain. The system will track the sun's position to continually maintain the set zone temperatures, as needed.
The MDX instrument panel is an experience in itself. Beginning at the front door panels, then sweeping across the curves of the signature Acura dual-cove instrument panel, the dashboard surrounds the driver and front passenger in luxury. Metallic accents provide just the right level of contrast.
Leading the way in audio and information technology has its advantages, and its challenges. As the number of features continued to increase, Acura designers foresaw a very crowded center panel. So they designed an intuitive touch screen called On Demand Multi-Use Display™ (ODMD™) to house all the controls you need at any given time. As a result, what could have been more than 41 buttons has been simplified to nine.
The voice recognition feature that accompanies the Acura Navigation System10 is the latest edition of the system that Acura has been offering and refining for over a decade.
The Bluetooth®11 HandsFreeLink® system works with many Bluetooth®-enabled cell phones to let you receive and initiate phone calls through the MDX audio system without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
Handheld texting while driving is illegal in most states and highly dangerous in all. The integrated SMS text message and email function44 enables you to respond to incoming text messages while following the law and helping minimize the potential for driver distraction. Drivers with paired, Siri-equipped iPhones®8 can also use voice-command to perform these (and other) functions. When driving with a paired, activated, SMS-compatible phone, the system will notify you of an incoming text message.
The MDX's HomeLink® system lets you operate up to three remote controlled garages or gates or other devices with buttons integrated into the interior design.
The MDX can be equipped with two warning systems that will alert you to important conditions that you might otherwise miss if momentarily distracted. Using a camera50 mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror, the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system56 alerts you with a beep when the vehicle unintentionally leaves a detected lane. The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system55 alerts you to a potential collision with a vehicle detected ahead, using both visual and audible warnings.
Cruise control you can use on the not-so open road. Find out how it works.

Setting the cruise control during your urban commute? Acura technology makes it possible. As with a conventional system, the available Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow53 system allows you to set a desired speed but also maintain a desired interval from the car ahead so you enjoy the benefits of cruise control in light traffic.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's top military leaders are warning Congress in unusually stark terms that its failure to pass a 2013 defense budget — coupled with the threat of automatic budget cuts — has pushed the Pentagon to the brink of a crisis.
They wrote in a joint letter to congressional leaders that the readiness of U.S. armed forces is at a "tipping point."
A copy of the letter was provided to The Associated Press Wednesday.
The military leaders said that troops in combat and those who are being treated for wounds will get the funds needed. But the rest of the force will be severely compromised if the Pentagon has to continue operating on last year's budget.
Among those signing the letter was Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

Following last week's disturbing news that the highly-anticipated Fallout 3 would be banned in Australia, website Australian Gamer has remarks attributed to the man blamed by many for the ban.
Australian Gamer has posted a scan of what appears to be a letter from Michael Atkinson (left), Attorney General of South Australia, to an unnamed constituent. Atkinson's continued opposition to the introduction of an R18+ rating for the Australian games market has meant that games judged unsuitable for 15-year-olds are routinely refused classification. The country's highest rating is currently MA15+.
From the Atkinson letter:
I am aware that statistics show many game players are adults. Indeed, a whole generation has now grown up with computer games. It is not surprising that those who enjoyed gaming as children… play electronic games with their own children… 62% of Australians in these gaming households say the classification of a game has no influence on their buying decision…
Given this data, I cannot fathom what State-enforced safeguards could exist to prevent R18+ games being bought by households with children and how children can be stopped from using these games, once the games are in the home. If adult gamers are so keen to have R18+ games, I expect children would be just as keen. I have publically argued that because electronic games are interactive, the violence and other adult content in games have a strong impact. I am particularly concerned about the impact these games have on children, who can spend a lot of their unsupervised leisure time gaming.

The internet world is abuzz about the delicate toes of Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Wayne Rooney, 24, has been sidelined for multiple weeks with an ankle or foot injury for all but two years (2005 and 2009) since joining the premier soccer club in 2004. That included last night's incident where he got tangled up with Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez and was helped off the field and later had a protective cast placed on his right foot.
Rooney, who has 34 goals this season, is expected to miss two to four weeks according to Yahoo! Sports. He is expected to compete in the World Cup this summer in South Africa.
The Guardian released a detailed report of Wayne Rooney's multiple ankle/foot injuries dating back to 2003.
So who's foot would you rather have? Wayne Rooney or Vince Carter? I'll take the Orlando Magic guard for $500 please.

ATLANTA -- Parents of students at Westlake High School in South Fulton County are concerned about the safety of their children, as well as school faculty.
The problem is trying to turn at the intersection of Campbellton Road and Union Road without the assistance of a traffic control device.
Parent Zina Cooper says she's seen numerous near misses and even accidents involving turning drivers trying to avoid fast moving traffic.
Zina didn't know which governmental agency to call for help, so she contacted 11Alive's Commuter Dude.

Weir coach Tony Filberto thinks highly of Magnolia receiver Stephen Rogalski and has a real simple way to deal with him when the Red Riders and Blue Eagles matchup Friday at Jimmy Carey Stadium.
''Maybe I'm wrong, but we don't waste time trying to double cover him or anything,'' Filberto said. ''He is the kind of player that is going to get his catches. You just have to hope that you put enough pressure on the quarterback to limit the chances he gets.''
Maybe that is the philosophy that will work because stopping Rogalski has been easier said than done.
The Blue Eagles receiver, who passed Kenny Fisher to become the school's all-time leader in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and receptions has been as impressive as any athlete in the Ohio Valley this season.
Rogalski has 37 receptions for 577 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 96.1 yards per game to put him tops in the Ohio Valley among the small schools.
He has also taken three punts back for scores, bringing Filberto flashbacks of Jeff Hissam, his former standout at Oak Glen that was just as dangerous on kick returns.
''The speed is very similar, and last season they had a great battle,'' Filberto said. ''They both had tremendous speed and the ability to be able to create space.''
Weir has its share of speed, led by quarterback William Larch. Unfortunately for Filberto, he also has plenty of youth and that has ultimately led to the Red Riders' 0-6 record.
That inexperience is not something you need when Magnolia, winners of five straight and No. 7 in the WVSSAC Class A rankings come to town.
After being torched by Linsly in the opener with the Cadets' Wildcat package, the Blue Eagles have rebounded and found success against running quarterbacks C.J. Burch of Wheeling Central and Korey Lafferre of Monroe Central.
Larch is one of the top rushers among big schools.
''Linsly caught us off guard but since then, we've done a nice job stopping the run,'' Magnolia coach Mark Batton said. ''We work on that every week and Larch is just one of the nice athletes they have.
''(Jonathan) Rice and Kameron (Davis) are nice players in the backfield with them.
''Weir is very athletic with a very aggressive defense. They are playing a lot of younger guys who are getting better with every snap. I am impressed with them and I like how hard they play. Coach Filberto is doing a nice job.''

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Dose anyone on here own a .45 muzzleloader?
Dose anyone on here own a .45 muzzleloader?
-NRA Life Member
I own one. It's a Remington... Looks a lot like their model 700 rifle.
It shoots fine and you are right for a deer muzzleloader you get a little more range but it isn't much more. I prefer to use the 50 caliber just because I use the same load whether it was deer or moose. The load is 150 grains of triple 7 and 250 grain SST bullets. I zeroed the gun for 150 yards. I killed a 6x6 elk in NM in 2010 with it. I have a few 50 calibers but I use the TC Omega the most.

Sorry no. Trad muzzleloaders here....started with a .50 and went up.

A favorite place for people-watching, the pedestrian mall is being targeted because it draws crowds.
"This is obviously the heart of our community," Molly Winter, who manages downtown for the City of Boulder, said. "It's a gathering place. A lot of events are here; a lot of people here. That just magnifies the impacts of smoking and secondhand smoke."
The ban would apply to the four blocks of brick-lined pedestrian mall and to the plaza in front of the Boulder County Courthouse.
County commissioners have expressed support for the move as have the businesses downtown. City officials say an outdoor smoking ban fits with the city's branding around healthy lifestyle.
The pedestrian mall already has city laws against biking, pets, and skateboards, so it makes a clearly defined zone to which a smoking ban can be added.
9NEWS found smokers on both sides of the issue.
"I don't even think it's going to be an inconvenience," Mike Pratte said. "There's always going to be a place you can go and smoke."
"People would continue smoking," Sarah Behan said. "The dogs aren't allowed here and people bring dogs here all the time."
The ban would apply to any smoking, including newly-legalized marijuana, setting up an early example of local regulation to control use of the drug despite its legal status.
One of the final sticking points is the penalty. The first draft of the ordinance allowed for a maximum fine of $1,000.
On Tuesday, council members will consider cutting that maximum fine in half.
Such a change would delay a final vote on the measure until it can be passed in the same form again.
After final passage, the ban would take effect within 30 days.
Police would be expected to allow a grace period in which they make people aware of the ban and hand out warnings rather than tickets.

Enter your thoughts on today's loss.
Maybe Varner was just reacting to the Hawks being the good old D-bags they always seem to be. And of course I am talking about the coaches.
The Iowa wrestlers just displayed all their usual class. Meaning none. Same as the announcer Dan Gable.
"Dog Eat Dog"
Read the news
Someone win,
Someone lose
Aren't there penalties in wrestling for unsportsmanlike behavior (Metcalf, Keddy, Varner, other guys who throw their headsets after the match)? They have gotten so picky on this in football.
Last edited by Cycsk; 01-10-2010 at 05:03 PM.
so what did metcalf do? sorry for not wanting to search threads
We are sooo close. Hopefully it comes together perfectly in March.
Disappointing, we were that close. Also, I made the mistake of reading through some threads over at themat.com after reading the Hawk troll posts on this site. Now, I need to leave the computer for awhile before I break something.
Winning cures all.
Metcalf gave a JO gesture after the match
Originally Posted by cyman1189

After winning his match he made a "jackoff" gesture
The only real disappointment from this meet was Reader getting beat by Morningstar. That's a matchup we have to have. I had a screaming baby pull my attention away, seemed like he was in control of the match and then he lost. What happened exactly?
At the end of the day, the progress of Long and Ward is great. There's two additional wrestlers that have better than an ice cube's chance in hell of winning a national championship. I hope Gallick can get healthy and back to his best and the other wrestlers continue to progress. If that happens we will be in good shape to fight for the national championship.
It's a guarantee that the Brands brothers and Metcalf will act like immature idiots... they always do. Varner needs to be above that crap. Varner's actions were embarrassing. We don't need to act like the Hawks.
Varner's reaction was classless and unsportsmanlike. I will NOT say it was uncalled for because it was: Iowa's coaches and players showed the worst sportsmanship of any college "team" I have ever seen. If that was a high school team and my son was on it, he would be done wrestling. Period.
That said, I hope Varner has to run some laps or something because I (being a Cyclone) expect better from my teams. Rise above the filth, Varner, just dominate and rise above.
As for wrestling, we looked good overall. We just have the same issues we do with the other Iowa meets: we lose the close ones. Reader's match should've been reader's but he just didn't play smart at the end and let morningstar back into it to win by 1. We lost 2 or 3 other real close matches and could've gone our way. If long pulls his out (like he should've) with Reader, we win, but we just can't seem to do it against the Hawkeyes.
This team is looking A LOT better than last year's that had a shot at the NC on the final day. After this match I think ISU is right in the thick of a NC race.
Odds on a NC:
Iowa 60%
Yeah, I don't think there is a chance that anyone other than Iowa or ISU wins a NC. These 2 teams just cream everyone else.....
Last edited by rhillary; 01-10-2010 at 07:49 PM.
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
Are there no penalties for this sort of thing in wrestling?
I'm going to give ISU a passing grade today, even though we lost 19-12.
Long wrestled well and has gained on McD all three matches, he knows he can get him and hopefully he'll get his chance at the NCAA's.
Fanny winning was a good sign...hope he is getting back to his comfort level. Wrestled two good matches today.
Really excited about the way Jensen wrestled. LeClere was too much for him but this kid wrestles hard and aggressive. We need Gallick back, but I'm excited about what Jensen can bring next year.
Mueller had another great tournament. He gave himself a shot against Metcalf and that is really all you can ask for. 7-3 loss is a solid performance.
Sorensen had a nice tournament, really thought he could have beaten Jansen from Iowa today which would have been huge for us pulling off the upset, but the more experience he gets the better. He needs to work with Varner because they have similar strengths and body types, he can adopt that style and be successful in my opinion.
Reader was dominant the whole tournament until the final minute of his match with Morningstar. That should have been a win and I think he cashed it in a little early and Morningstar took it away from him. The classic stuff that happens to us vs. Iowa. I trust Reader won't let it happen again because the truth is, he's better than Morningstar and can compete for the title...just can't ease up.
The jury is out on Burk, right now he's more of a warm body than anything else but there is potential there. We really need to find someone to establish our 174 division until he figures out how good he wants to be.
Ward, I think, has begun to develop into the stud he looks like. He was aggressive for most of the tournament and he is powerful. Needs to learn to set up his shots a little more instead of relying on explosivness, but beating Keddy twice and Pucillo earlier today gives him instant credibility and the confidence to make a splash at the NCAA's.
Varner = NCAA Champ. Enough said.
Big Z looked good coming back from an injury. Nice to see him get the takedowns needed to win both matches today. Hope he can get to 100% before the Big 5's.
Disappointing to lose to Iowa again, especially when we legitamately could have blown them out points wise if Long, Sorensen and Reader get their wins, but Jackson has these guys so far ahead of where Cael had them, it really isn't even close. I hate it that we lost, but if you are willing to step back and really compare our team this year to the past three years, we are as aggressive of wrestlers as we were at any point during the Sanderson tenure. We are winning close matches, just not vs. Iowa, and wrestling complete matches which we didn't do under Sanderson and it really got old. Proud to be a Cyclone today, get ready to take the Big 5's and compete for the NCAA title, because I truly believe we have a shot if we can get back to full health. March can't come soon enough!!!
What exactly did varner do? I had to leave right before his match.

Falcon 1:48 Supermarine Seafang
Posted 02 May 2009 - 09:50 PM
Colin S-K added a CD of pretty much all the publically available photos of this very shortlived aircraft, and Colin of Freightdog donated a bunch of injection moulded and pewter parts from a leftovers box of Silver Cloud parts that he'd inherited from the previous owner. It turns out that the spinner & prop blades are a perfect fit, so MAHOOSIVE thanks to Col for saving me so much time & effort licking the vacform kit parts into shape
The parts also include the major parts of the cockpit, including instrument panel & the frame onto which the seat (also included) fits. That's going to save me some more major scratchbuilding, or robbing of unused Tamiya Spit parts (although some of that might still happen). He's also thoughtfully included the aforementioned prop bosses, 6 blades (3 on each for the contra-prop version), tail planes & rudder, pewter landing gear, wheels & doors, and exhausts... LOTS of scratch building narrowly averted!
I've taken a couple of photos of the untouched sheet of parts and them cut from the backing, but they're in the workshop and I'm not, so will be posted tomorrow instead. I'm about 2/3 of the way through sanding back the excess plastic, and as always the hardest part (in fact, the only hard part) is getting the trailing edges nice & thin, which always needs more work after the initial sanding. I usually use a combination of scraping with a sharp blade & heavy duty sanding sticks for this part, so my workbench is covered with squiggles of plastic & dust. It's also thick with fumes from a major application of polyester putty on a new master project I'm working on. Boy, does that stuff pong!
If you've not started your build yet, grab one of these from Vince at Modelsforsale.com... they're extremely good for sanding back the excess plastic, and being extra wide speed the job up immensely
I'll attempt a tape-together tomorrow once I arise from my pit, so watch this space

40mm maybe wider? Lovely & aggressive. As long as you keep your eye on the piece you're working on though, it's not a problem
That sander does look quite handy - how wide is it?

Excellent, thanks!

After sanding down the excess plastic, the tapeup was attempted, and fit is surprisingly good already. There seems to be a bit of an issue developing at the front wing root, either through bad design or my hacking off of too much plastic. I'll keep an eye on it & see whether it gets worse or better as the airframe firms up.
A quick test fit of the Silvercloud parts reveals good fit between the cockpit parts & the fuselage sides, the spinner is perfectly sized, the horizontal tail is slightly at variance with the kit parts, but close enough for me not to be concerned. The tail is going to be deflected anyway, so a solid tail is a better starting point than vacform pieces.
Not shown are the radaitor baths on the lower wing. These parts have been thinned at the leading & trailing edges to give a more realistic look, and the blocks protruding from the underside of the wings will be fitted with some spare mesh front & rear to simulate the radiator fronts.
There's a reasonable amount of equipment attached to the cockpit sidewalls in the real thing, so I'm not totally off the hook for scratch building, but at least I have a decent seat, rear bulkhead, the beginnings of an instrument panel, and rudder pedals. That'll shave a lot off the build time
Posted 03 May 2009 - 09:40 PM
Here's a quick pic of the partly finished item perched on a penny.
I'm now building up a prominent step that surrounds the contol column, and acts as a base for the rudder pedals. There are also some rudimentary side consoles to make, and I have added internal ribbing from styrene strip to busy things up. Before I called it a night, I also boxed in the wheel bays with strip, which I'll sand to profile to allow the upper wing to fit. Finally, I cut out the carburettor intake under the prop, and it dawned on me that one of the pieces of pewter is meant to detail this area, which will save some scratch building. All I need to do is make a mesh backing plate for it.
More pics tomorrow, hopefully.

Actually, I may have them spare somewhere anyway...

I'll post some pics in a bit when I've done the 2nd one
Posted 04 May 2009 - 04:43 PM
The gear is attached to some contrail tube, with a brass sheath around it, with a hole drilled for the pin from the gear leg. The edges of the brass are dressed with little circles of fusewire.
More later.

Difficult to make out some of the details, so I'll post another batch once the primer's on
Posted 07 May 2009 - 05:32 PM
Posted 07 May 2009 - 05:38 PM
The Spitfire parts look to be coming in handy. I cant wait to see the pit all painted up!!
Gonna add more in there??

Posted 08 May 2009 - 04:01 PM
I've also built up the Silver Cloud prop units, with the front prop blades to rotate clockwise, with the rear anti-clockwise. There's a bit of filler needed around the joints, and to ensure that things don't come adrift inside, I've surrounded each white metal prop with a fillet of Milliput, as the plastic/CA/white metal sandwich isn't very secure, despite the nice design of the blade mounting points, which ensures that all blades mount at the correct pitch. I also added some mesh to the front & rear of the radiator baths, and cut out the rear flap, positioning the styrene replacements slightly ajar.
I also got round to spraying up the cockpit with a coat of Alclad Primer (God, I love that stuff! ).
You can see a couple of stiffening plates that should help make the fuselage a little more rigid, and the big one in the chin that will ensure a good strong join between the wing & the fuselage. There's a similar tongue at the bock to prevent the tail edge of the wing from dropping inside the fuselage. Exhausts have been put in place now & secured with plenty of CA, as there's no real option for installing them later. I'll just have to mask them off during painting
Posted 08 May 2009 - 04:03 PM
Posted 08 May 2009 - 09:55 PM
On another note, Mike mentions the Alclad primer being wonderful and I heartily agree but, I have discovered Tamiya spray primer is the shizzle as well. Its goes on even and nice and smooth. Just an FYI for everyone.
Posted 08 May 2009 - 11:16 PM
The Seafang is one of my all time faves!!
Can't wait to see more progress!!
Posted 09 May 2009 - 01:10 AM
Posted 13 May 2009 - 02:05 PM
The lower wing has now been glued in, and is currently setting up, after which I can begin sanding the seams & making up the small imperfection in mating around the leading edge wing root. Then it's on to detailing the gear bays, which will be fun, as I have almost NO refs

Bruschi goes out in style
By: Kurt Johnson, The Press Tribune
Roseville alum leaves NFL after long run of success
A unique and special career came to an end Monday when 1991 Roseville High graduate Tedy Bruschi announced his retirement from the National Football League's New England Patriots. "He (Bruschi) was and still is the best high school football player that I have ever coached or watched play," said Roseville High coach Larry Cunha, who coached Bruschi at Roseville. "His ability to impact the game as a defensive lineman was amazing and unmatched since." A leader on three Super Bowl winning teams who spent his entire 13-year run with the Patriots, Bruschi is also notable as a player who returned to the game after suffering a stroke in 2005. He was also an incredible influence in the communities in which he has played. "Instinctive, hard working, intelligent, play maker, leader are words that I would attach to him on the field," Cunha said. "Off the field he was even more amazing and a role model - giving to his community, genuine, someone that made outstanding and quality choices on and off the field." From his days with the Tigers, through an outstanding career at the University of Arizona and then with New England, the linebacker earned a reputation as a player who played with full energy every time he put on the helmet. Former teammates and coaches all praise Bruschi's leadership and hard work as exemplary to everyone whose life he touched. "It was an honor and a pleasure to coach Tedy Bruschi at Roseville High School," Cunha said. "I think the entire Roseville High School community has reason to be very proud to call Tedy Bruschi one of our own."

The International Tennis Federation announced today that the 100th Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Final will be played at the O2 Arena in Prague.
Next month's showpiece between Czech Republic and Spain, which also marks the start of the ITF's 2013 centenary celebrations, takes place on 16-18 November.
Czech Republic defeated 2010 champions Serbia at the O2 Arena in the quarterfinals earlier this year and will be hoping the home crowd can lift them to victory over defending champions Spain in the final. There will be a seating capacity of over 13,000 spectators, with full ticket details announced in due course.
Spain is bidding for its fourth title in five years, having defeated Argentina in the 2011 Final in Seville. Czech Republic is looking for its first title since Ivan Lendl led Czechoslovakia to victory over Italy in the 1980 final in Prague at the Sportnovi Hala. Spain leads Czech Republic 4-2 in head-to-head meetings, and won their most recent encounter 5-0 at the 2009 Davis Cup Final in Barcelona.
Prague's O2 Arena will also host the 2012 Fed Cup Final between Czech Republic and Serbia on 3-4 November, becoming the first stadium to stage both finals in the same year. The Czech Republic has also made history by becoming the first country to host both finals since the introduction of the Fed Cup World Group in 1995.
Davis Cup began in 1900 as a competition between USA and Great Britain at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston. It was conceived by four members of the Harvard University tennis team, one of whom, Dwight Davis, designed a tournament format and ordered a trophy, buying it with his own money. The tournament was originally known as the International Lawn Tennis Challenge, but soon became known as Davis Cup after Dwight Davis's trophy.
Davis Cup has grown to become the largest annual international team competition in sport with 122 nations taking part in 2012. The competition celebrated its centenary year in 1999, and 2012 will see the 100th staging of the Final. The 100 finals have been held in 16 countries, with just 13 countries going on to become Davis Cup champion.
The Davis Cup itself has also grown from the silver salad bowl presented for the inaugural competition in 1900, to a 110cm-high and 107cm wide three-plinth trophy holding the original cup itself, engraved with the names of the champions. The bowl itself bears the names of the champions from 1900-1919; the tray with the 1920-1932 winners; the top two plinths with the names of the 1933-2002 champions on its silver plaques; and the recent winners on the base plinth. It is also the world's only original major sporting cup to have lasted a century and the most well-travelled.
Prague's O2 Arena was built in time to stage the World Ice Hockey Championships in 2004 and has since held major sporting events for ice hockey, basketball and floorball. The venue has also welcomed some of the world's biggest music acts, including Elton John, Coldplay and Lady Gaga.

We're getting hammered with snow in central Wyoming, over a foot on the ground and still snowing
We're getting hammered with snow in central Wyoming, over a foot on the ground and still snowing
We got about 10 inches in Gillette. biggest snowfall all winter.
Got maybe 3-4 in Laramie. Hoping the mountains got a bunch more. Lander got something like 28".
Got about 10" here in town. The hills got anywhere from 16-24". Nice heavy wet snow. Should help some but it will have to rain a lot this spring for it to do any good.
got about a foot here. forcast looks like more is on the way
Looks preaty bleak up there. Although, I was up shed hunting on Sunday and saw a herd of about 7-800. They looked good and prego. Looks like Gillette got about 15 inches yesterday. Although if the weatherman was correct the Bighorns where only supposed to get about 6-8 inches. More snow the beggining of next week though. Keep fingers crossed for some more wet heavy white stuff.
Rant- I hate going into work and hearing everyone complaining about fresh snow in April.
glad to see you got some snow. I wish i could send some rain your way from here in wisconsin. we have gotten dumped on all week. I keep watching weather reports hoping to see rain in the N/NE/NC region. It will make for bigger horns and more deer for me to chase around next October! LOL
Only got an inch or two in the Basin-Greybull area. West side of the 'Horns got a little more but not by much.
I heard Lander got 18 inches of wet, heavy snow which is pretty awesome since that's where our water comes from.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
We got a modest inch last night in the SE with more on the way this week. Supposed to get cooooold . . . Old man winter aint done yet . . .
We received 20"+ over the past 2 days here in Central WY. Casper Mtn has received over 3' so I'm sure the Shirley's, Laramie Peak, etc. have also received significant snow. We really needed this!!

I would SO love this look if I wasn't such a shortie…😛
Still struggling to think of the perfect New Year's resolution? We've got one for you: add more single sole shoes to your wardrobe. We know it's probably not difficult for you to agree that you need more shoes, but one of our fave trends is the return of single sole heels, wedges, booties, and boots. For those not in the know, single sole shoes are shoes without a hidden platform. And while you won't be able to reach the heights you can in a platform, single soles offer a few other perks. Specifically, the silhouette feels brand new after seasons of platforms, and we're loving how ladylike they look. Still don't believe us? Check out our inspiration gallery of single sole shoes- after seeing some of your most beloved celebs and style bloggers rocking 'em, you'll change your mind.
Are you a fan of single sole shoes? How do you plan to wear 'em this year?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- President Barack Obama is telling supporters that with one month to go, it is time for them to get "almost obsessive."
Speaking to donors at a $20,000-per-ticket dinner in San Francisco, the president said, quote, "I very much intend to win this election."
But he says it will require supporters to mobilize every resource they can think of to help him. He encourages those who gave him cash to do more by sending emails, making phone calls, and reaching out to cousins or uncles or friends in the battleground states that will decide the election.
He said, "You've got to make sure that we bring this home."
The president spoke Monday night at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium before a separate fundraising concert capping a lucrative campaign trip to California.

Hello, I have outlook synced up with my zimbra server (4.5.11) using the ZCO. All is well with email and my calendar. I want to see a calendar that is owned by someone else at the studio. But, it's not their main calendar, but a secondary calendar that they created. They have given me rights, and I can view it in ZWC. So, no permissions problems.
Is there any way to view this 'secondary' calendar in Outlook? Again, I can see the persons main calendar just fine. It's another created calendar that I would like to see.
