Details/Features –+
- Pro-Balance handle design for improved stick feel and weight distribution.
- Fits tapered geometry blades
- Available in Nipple Grip and Matte Clear finishes
Technology –+
Multi-Bias Fiber
New shaft design using multilateral and omnidirectional fiber placement to reinforce the shaft internally and protect it from cracking or fatigue. Continuous fibers create a network of carbon strands that help resist slash or puck impact.
Carbon Elite Construction
Warrior's proprietary elite construction package is the ultimate combination of light weight and and power. High-modulus, low-weight aerospace-grade laminate provides strength under extreme flex, and most efficient energy transfer.
Nipple Grip Finish
Improved grip nipples are firmer for increased tactile grip on the hands. Less hand slip provides better stick-handling control and improved power transfer into the stick on large load shots. Raised nipples also avoid shaft torque, improving shot accuracy and consistency.
Clear Grip Finish
Clear Grip is exactly that, a clear finish that doesn't get between you and your shaft. Allowing the most slip and slide for your money, this is for the dangler who wants lightning-fast hand movement on the stick.
Precision Taper Flex
A lower tapered section focuses energy into the bottom quadrant of the stick. This concentration of flex eases load and release. Easier load and better power transfer lead to harder and faster wrist and slap shots for the player who needs help loading the stick.

The break that worked: Cameron Meyer gets a stage win and lead at Tour Down Under

- 2011 Tour Down Under, Stage 4: With a tight GC, Meyer moved into the leader's jersey, too.
Garmin-Cervélo's Cameron Meyer gave his team reason to smile at the Tour Down Under when he took the race leader's ochre jersey after a well-deserved stage win Friday.
Meyer, a world track cycling champion, worked hard to get into the only successful breakaway of the 124-kilometer fourth stage from Norwood to Strathalbyn in the Adelaide Hills.
And the 23-year-old's efforts paid off as strong headwinds and a lack of collaboration in the peloton conspired to allow the break a clear run to the finish.
Meyer beat Belgian Thomas De Gendt, of Vacansoleil, in a two-up sprint with Dutchman Laurens Ten Dam (Rabobank) in third just ahead of former Australian champion Matt Wilson, also of Garmin-Cervélo.
With the main field arriving 24 seconds later, Meyer took the jersey from overnight leader and compatriot Matthew Goss (HTC-HighRoad).
Ten Dam is now second overall at 10 seconds adrift, with Goss in third at 12 ahead of Saturday's potentially decisive fifth stage which takes in two ascents of the short but steep Willunga Hill.
"It's just great to get a win for the team," Meyer said.
"To get the stage win was the first thing I thought about. Yesterday, I missed the split by seven seconds and lost a little bit on GC (general classification), so I thought, 'It's going to be hard to make that back.' To get the stage victory, to throw my hands in the air over the finish line, was just a great feeling."
The four leaders worked well together but with their lead hovering around the minute mark with 30km to go their chances were viewed as rather slim. It was at that point, though, that the quartet decided to up the pace.
"We had to really play it cool and wait, the peloton can bring it back whenever they want," added Meyer.
"So we waited until about 20-30km to go and then we really hit the gas, and when we went, we went strong," added Meyer.
Despite the common interest of being able to contend the stage win, Goss's HTC-HighRoad teammates were left almost to their own devices as they fought to defend the leader's jersey.
With strong headwinds hindering the chase, HTC's lead-out man Mark Renshaw complained that other teams were simply hanging off his team's coat tails.
"It's the same old story, we rode all day and we can't be expected to close the gap and ride all day. Some of the other teams need to have a look at themselves," said Renshaw.
"We had one guy from Omega-Pharma and a couple of guys from RadioShack but by then it was too late. With a finish like that, everyone knew it was downhill for the last 10 km. It's a little bit disappointing because we lost the jersey."
The race finishes with a 90km street race in Adelaide on Sunday, and Goss said he would fight all the way — picking up bonus seconds at the intermediate sprints and at the finish — to get back into the race lead.
"There are sprint seconds, there's bonus seconds on the line as well tomorrow (Saturday) in Willunga. I will try to take some seconds there and, if need be, the last day in Adelaide," said Goss.
"There are still plenty of opportunities to get the bonus seconds back, but it's just a bit more stress."

I just bought a used Meade LX200 EMC 8" OTA which was deforked. I put a dovetail bar on it for use on my CG5.
I'm using my Mallincam Xtreme exclusively these days. When using it with the C11 the mount tracks beautifully as evidenced by the first snapshot below taken last night (80 second integration).
However, on all 3 nights I've tried to use the Meade, I can only get integrations of 30 seconds or less. The mount acts like it's not tracking at all, I have to keep readjusting the image to stay centered in the FOV (see second snapshot below, 56 second integration, taken tonight).
I have checked the balance over and over and it's excellent. Leveling is perfect. I do everything exactly the same every night whether using the 8" or 11", including my alignment procedure. One night I use the 11" and everything works perfectly, the next night I use the 8" and it has the same tracking issue.
I'm hoping this is something obvious to someone...any suggestions?


text: My cousin and I are headed to this unit 1st 2 weeks of season. We're in shape and have a few spots picked out. We feel like we've done the homework needed to maybe dumb into one. Just wondering if anybody had any past experiences there. Good or bad. Don't want your hunting spot just some insight. We're going either way at this point. Thanks.

Charlene Turner was on her way to the grocery store when she heard gunfire.
Turner, "It's just so sad. You never know when God is going to...you never know."

George Medrano, "I'm very scared now.
"In Germantown we have calls for service and quality of life issues. We don't have violent crime in the area so yes it is of concern to us," said Montgomery County Police Dept. PIO Cpt. Jim Daly.

Their Love Story:
From Catherine:
From the very beginning, our relationship had been showered with excitement. Lorraine and I met playing basketball against each other and needless to say, the competitive sparks came first. But soon thereafter, all other sparks flew wildly. Keeping with the theme, I proposed at the end of a basketball tournament weekend in San Francisco, a city that we both adore.
Mini Succulent and Cactus Garden Tips:
Some suggestions on placement:
Use 1 or 2 taller plants to give the arrangement a focal point. place taller plants in back if arrangement will go against a wall/corner and in the center if it will be seen from all sides.
Don't overcrowd. Giving your plants some space will also allow for growth and good air circulation.
How to water:
After your dish garden is planted, water succulents right away with room-temperature water. Wait a few days to water cactus plants, watering lightly for the first couple times.
If you plant succulents and cacti together, keep in mind that cacti need watered less often than other succulents.

No. 11 ISU Sees Three-Game Win Streak End at WVU
More from Cyclones.tv
Georges Niang led ISU with 17 points while Dustin Hogue chipped in 15 points and 10 rebounds and DeAndre Kane added 14 points and six rebounds. Matt Thomas chipped in 13 points.
Keys to the Game
Down 52-33 to start the second half, West Virginia showed its shooting was still on target with a 3-pointer to move its lead up to 22 points. ISU was able to work the WVU lead back down to 14 points at 58-44 before the Mountaineers went on a 13-2 run to post their largest lead of the game at 25 points, 71-46.
The Cyclones continued to struggle from the field as the Mountaineers were able to run out to a lead of as much as 32 points in the second half.
Iowa State controlled the opening few minutes, but West Virginia used hot shooting to explode on a 26-8 run that included five 3-pointers to give the Mountaineers a 14-point lead at 30-16. WVU saw its lead expand to 16 points before the Cyclones began its rebuilding process.
Georges Niang scored five straight points to reduce the WVU advantage to 11 points. Some sloppy play from the Cyclones allowed the Mountaineers to play fast and get on a 14-6 run that saw the Mountaineers take a halftime lead of 52-33. WVU enjoyed an advantage of as much as 21 points in the first frame.
Iowa State struggled from deep, shooting under 10 percent (1-for-12) from 3-point range in the first period. Another issue for ISU was at the charity stripe, as ISU harnessed itself with a 50 percent (6-of-12) free throw shooting effort in the first half. Iowa State was also uncharacteristically loose with the ball, committing seven first-half turnovers.
Cyclone Game Ball Goes To…
Dustin Hogue. It was a tough evening for all the Cyclones, but Hogue was able to bring some energy and effort to get game. He finished the evening with 15 points, his highest total since scoring 18 against Akron at the Diamond Head Classic, and grabbing 10 rebounds. It was Hogue's sixth double-double of the season.
Cyclone Notes
*Melvin Ejim saw his streak of 24 consecutive games scoring in double figures, a streak that dated back to last season, come to an end.
*Ejim's 12 rebounds marked the fourth consecutive game which Ejim grabbed at least 10 boards.

*Georges Niang scored in double figures for the ninth consecutive game and 20th time this season.

Tusing's mother, Susan, says, "I noticed in her pictures, she was always smiling or laughing. Had that big smile on her face."
It was the most exciting time in Tusing's life. She was a recent college grad and newly engaged.
Susan adds, "She was so friendly and polite and people just thought the world of her."
Her parents say the 20-year-old had a big dream. She'd be a veterinarian.
"It was everything she wanted it to be. She just loved being with animals. She was an animal person," says Susan.
The dream though faded on June 14, 2000.
Amanda's father Ed says, "It was just a parent's worst nightmare."
Amanda was off to visit her fiancée in Jonesboro, a nearly hour drive from her Mississippi County home.
Susan told THV in 2003, "I really didn't want her to go, tried to get her to stay home 'cause I knew it was supposed to be stormy. She said, 'Oh it'll be alright, I've got to go see Matt, we're supposed to go out to dinner. I'm running late, gotta go' - and out the door she went."
It'd be the last time she'd see Amanda alive. At 1:30 a.m., Matt called Amanda's parents.
Susan adds, "According to him, she'd had plenty of time to get home."
He said Amanda left his apartment around 11:30 p.m. She always called him when she'd made it home.
So fearing the worst, they immediately started looking for Amanda along Highway 18, a busy stretch of road between Jonesboro and Blytheville.
"Before they got there, Matt called me and said they'd found the car, but he couldn't find her."
Amanda's black 1992 Pontiac was abandoned.
Susan says, "The keys were still in the car, her purse was still in the car. It was just like she'd parked the car and got out and left it."
Three days later, her body was found in a ditch some 14 miles from her car. The medical examiner's office ruled the cause of death as drowning. Police are certain it was murder.
Craighead County Sheriff Jack McCann explains, "When the body was found in the water, there was no obvious signs of trauma to the body."
Ten years later, they've interviewed some 700 people. Detectives say the killer was likely someone she didn't know.
He says, "The biggest problem we have is there is no physical evidence. Absolutely zero. There are no witnesses."
Her parents say Amanda was always careful of who she talked with. Plus, it was a stormy night, so detectives believe it may have been someone pretending to be a police officer who lured her into his car.
Amanda's father Ed says, "We'd always told Mandy if she'd had trouble, try to get to a public area somewhere, under some lights. And the car was parked under a light on the side of the highway in someone's front yard."
Susan says, "Maybe someone saw a blue light behind her."
McCann says Amanda's fiancée' has been cooperative with police. He passed three polygraph tests and is not considered a suspect.
So for now, all the Tusings can do is keep hoping and praying yet another decade doesn't pass before her killer is arrested.
Susan says, "You are very insignificant. You are very chicken and you're hiding behind my daughter's murder."
There were no signs of a struggle or a sexual assault.
If you know any information, call the Craighead County Sheriff's Office at 870-933-4526. There is a $10,000 reward leading to an arrest.

Street Art | Graffiti, Murals, Posters, and Signs
Inside a bell at a pilgrimage site, Mingun, Myanmar/Burma
Graffiti has existed since ancient Greece and Rome. It expresses political and cultural views, and many consider it an art form.
When there are cultural and political shifts, it is sometimes possible to see the earliest indications by literally looking at the "writing on the wall."
Posters are found in public places all over the world. They are designed to attract the attention of passers-by and entice them to purchase a particular product or service, make them aware of a political viewpoint, or attend a specific event. If suddenly it were decreed that they all must disappear, it would seem that all color had disappeared from the urban landscape, and the cities would appear a mournful gray.

From the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux, France, to the ceremonial and celebratory murals of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome,
India, and Mesopotamia, the history of murals is long, rich and varied.
Ancient murals often depicted activities in which the people of the time engaged, from religious ceremonies to
scenes of hunting and gathering for sustenance.

|To Russia with love: Pastor Gordon Penfold spreads reconciliation message overseas
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
It took 18 months of bureaucratic red tape, but Pastor Gordon Penfold of First Baptist Church in Holyoke finally received a religious visa to visit a far eastern section of Russia for two weeks in March.
On Sunday, April 19, Penfold shared his experiences in Russia with the community by giving a slide show presentation at First Baptist Church.
Penfold said his journey to Russia actually began in the early 1990s, soon after perestroika. "Our church hosted Sergei Timchenko, one of the heroes who survived the Communist persecutions in Ukraine," he said. "At that time, Sergei was a student at Denver Seminary and was a key person in The Light of the Gospel, a missionary movement in the Former Soviet Union."
He visited the church Penfold was pastoring in Las Animas with Ray Prigodich. He taught at Denver Seminary and was one of the founders of Donetsk Christian University in Donetsk, Ukraine.
At the end of their time together Penfold said to Prigodich, "If you ever need someone to teach at the University, I would be available."
Penfold said it seemed like a natural fit because his wife Beth was fluent in German and had studied Russian at CSU.
He also explained that not long after he became a Christian in 1969, he had begun to pray for the spiritual condition of the former Soviet Union. He said he knew life was extremely difficult for those who desired to serve Jesus Christ in that part of the world.
"We were greatly challenged by their great perseverance in the face of overwhelming hardship," he said.
In 1994 Prigodich called and asked Penfold to travel to Ukraine and teach at the University. "I agreed and that was the beginning of an ongoing relationship with Christian education and ministry in churches in the former Soviet Union," he said.
Two years ago, Victor Gaydayenko, a friend and former student, contacted him about the possibility of making a trip to Primorye, the Russian Far East.
Gaydayenko is the president of Word of Grace Bible College in West Ukraine. He is also an integral part of Hope to People, a mission agency that grew out of The Light of the Gospel.
Penfold agreed to pray about the possibilities of making the trip, and began the attempt to get a religious visa for the trip. That is difficult at this point in time, as Russia as a whole has been denying entry to the country on religious visas.
Initially, he was going to travel to Russia last fall. However, it became apparent that no visa could be obtained. He discovered the minimum period of time required to obtain a religious visa is four months.
Yuri Morokhovets, director of PAMCEC, the Primorye Association of Evangelical and Missionary Churches (part of Hope to People), and Penfold's contact in the Russian Far East, asked him to make a trip in the spring. So he began the process of obtaining a visa late last fall.
There were four obstacles Penfold faced in obtaining a religious visa in Russia. First, the climate in Russia is growing quite hostile toward evangelical Christianity.
"A friend of mine and former missionary to Russia told me, 'Gordon, you will never receive a religious visa. They are simply not granted in Russia any longer,'" said Penfold.
His friend and his family were forced out of Russia a few years ago and now reside in Ukraine. But Penfold decided to go ahead. "Reality told me, 'You can pursue this invitation, but don't expect to receive it,'" he said.
Secondly, his application had to be approved by two government agencies. Third, one must obtain approval from the Russian Embassy in the U.S. for travel to Russia. Religious visa applications are often denied by the Embassy.
Finally, many travelers who do receive the visa are turned back at the border when arriving in the country. "So there was a chance that my only view of Russia would be from inside of the Vladivostok airport," said Penfold.
Nevertheless, he pursued the visa application, and was scheduled to leave on March 5, 2009. With no visa and no good prospects of obtaining one, he wrote a letter to Yuri Morokhovets on Feb. 5 that read, "Yuri, this trip is not coming together. Let's cancel the trip and try to reschedule it for the fall."
Morokhevets wrote back with urgency, "Gordon, this fall will not work. We need you to come now. We need you to work with our pastors and our churches."
Penfold responded he needed to have the invitation by Feb. 20 to have any chance at all of obtaining the visa in time for the trip.
Feb. 20 came and went. . .and no visa. He called Morokhevets, who said, "We will have the invitation on Feb. 24." In that case, Penfold responded, he had to push the trip back one week, which Morokhevets agreed to.
Meanwhile, on an act of faith, Penfold purchased airline tickets for March 12-26.
On Feb. 24, he received the official invitation from the Russian government to travel to Primorye. The next day he sent the visa application, faxed copy of the invitation and his passport to the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Two days later, he was informed by the Embassy the faxed invitation was not clear enough to grant a visa. On that same day, the hard copy of the invitation arrived in Colorado Springs. It was faxed again and sent with a scanned version to the Embassy.
Finally, on March 2, Penfold was told the visa had been approved. However, by the time it was approved, it was too late to retrieve it from the Embassy. So the visa was to be sent back to the travel agent.
Two days later, the visa arrived in Colorado Springs as promised. "But reality now set in," said Penfold. "I had only a week to prepare to travel a third of the way around the world!"
Penfold departed for Russia on March 12 and entered the country two days later. "It's always a bit unsettling entering another country—another culture with a strange language," he said. "I was not totally a stranger here as I have made seven other trips to the Former Soviet Union. I had simply never been in Russia."
Vladivostok is located on the east coast of Asia near to the place where China, Russia and North Korea join. The Primorye region is located not far from Japan, and is eight time zones removed from Moscow.
"Russia is a huge country," said Penfold, adding, "Nearly everyone drives a Toyota!"
But he was there for more than just sight-seeing. Morokhovets had made the needs very plain. All of the churches that were started after perestroika had either plateaued in attendance or were in decline.
Many of the churches were new ones pastored by inexperienced pastors. Consequently, there was a great deal of unresolved conflict in those churches.
Penfold and Morokhovets developed a threefold objective:
—Conduct a pastor's conference that would equip pastors to handle conflict in a biblical way.
—Equip pastors to begin thinking strategically so they more effectively reach their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
—Spend time with churches, pastors and church groups, and give them counsel in their individual ministries and situations.
Penfold said his role as a facilitator and peacemaker involved three areas affected by conflict. "Conflict affects all of us at different levels," he added. He explained it this way:
"First, sin creates conflict between God and us. The Lord Jesus addressed this need when He made peace through the blood of His cross (Colossians 1:20). The Gospel is the means of reconciliation in this area of life.
"Second, we often have conflict with people. Conflict is inevitable. The key to conflict is not avoiding it, but handling it in a biblical fashion. Only then can we be overcomers in life rather than those overwhelmed by conflict.
"So my role was to train and equip the pastors and church leaders in the practices and principles of handling conflict God's way.
"Third, people often experience deep conflict within themselves. There is no peace in the depths of their being. This is often the result of an unwillingness to accept forgiveness from God or from a failure to genuinely extend or accept grace and forgiveness from others.
"Part of my role was to help individuals handle the issues of unforgiveness that plagued them."
During his two-week visit to Russia, Penfold kept a hectic schedule. First, he led a week-long pastor's conference attended by 45 individuals. Most were pastors or associate pastors, with a few other church members sprinkled in the group.
He preached a total of eight messages in 12 days, spending two and a half days on Conflict Resolution and Biblical Reconciliation alone.
According to Penfold, most of the churches in the area are young and the pastors have less than five years experience. These two factors tend to lead to conflict.
"Many pastors commented they wish they had understood these principles five years ago," he said. "It would have saved them lots of headaches and heartaches."
He also spent nearly a day and a half on Fresh Start Principles of turn around. Said Penfold, every church represented at the conference was either plateaued or declining in attendance.
The final half day was spent discussing leadership issues in the churches
During his time in Vladivostok, he also counseled seven different church groups or pastors regarding issues of conflict in their local churches.
The most involved of these reconciliations concerned two churches located in a city north of Vladivostok. Penfold traveled eight hours to get there so he could work with the churches. One of the pastors was a former student of his at Donetsk Christian University.
After listening to the two sides of the issue, Penfold recommended a 30-day period for preparation for reconciliation. But he said his former student responded, "No! You are the only one I trust! If we can't seek reconciliation with you, there will be no reconciliation."
So his team stayed an extra day to seek to bring resolution between the two churches. "After over three hours on Monday night, God brought peace between the two parties," he said. "It was at this point I knew one of the reasons that God brought me to Russia was for this meeting.
Added Penfold, there are three evangelical churches for 28,000 people in the Primorye region, and the conflict between these two churches had become a proverb. "Look at the evangelicals! They are always fighting with one another!"
"Our prayer," he said, "is that there will be a new proverb, 'See how much they love one another!'"
Because he was working so hard throughout his visit, Penfold said he wasn't able to absorb the fact he was in Russia until the trip was nearly over.
"On March 20, as we traveled through Vladivostok, I noted the back of the vehicle in front of us on the freeway. The driver had carefully scrubbed the winter grime off his license plate. The license plate in large letters said, 'RUS.' It suddenly dawned on me. I am in Russia."
"Up to that point," he continued, "I had been so busy with all of the details of translation, the conference and with eight hours of instruction each day, that the reality of my position had not sunk in."
In addition to the conference and other duties, Penfold also found time to preach in a Russian Orthodox Church and became the first American to ever visit one of the local orphanages.
Reflecting back on the work he did during his two weeks in Russia, Penfold is grateful for the opportunity he received to be a part of it. "God gave me the privilege of being involved in biblical peacemaking and reconciliation on all these levels during the trip to Russia," he said, adding, "Please pray that the steps we took will continue to bear fruit."
Finally, Penfold thanked those who prayed for and supported his trip to Russia, saying "Where prayer is focused, power falls. All I can say is Slava Bogu—Praise God!"

The Headache That Is the Hall
Could you imagine if drugs prevented anyone from getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? It would be the worst Hall of Fame ever. It'd be the size of a canoe. Most of your favorite bands wouldn't be allowed near the place. You could have the induction ceremony at 8 a.m. and everyone would show up on time. The speeches would be bland.
And the music? The music would be horrendous.
Thankfully, there's no rule like this. And so voting for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame still sounds pretty fun. Voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame does not sound like fun. At least not anymore. It wasn't so long ago that deciding who did and didn't belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame could be a spirited argument about numbers and milestones and comparisons between eras. It was the kind of argument that you could have with your parents, and it might get contentious (someone might shake a turkey leg you at Thanksgiving as they angrily tell you that Phil Rizzuto waited too long) but it was basically an amusing debate. Now it is not an amusing debate. Now it is a nauseating headache, to the point where people are wondering what the point is anymore.
I'm not sure I can get agitated about who does or doesn't get into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I think it's great that baseball has a sense of history, but there's a lot of unfortunate history in there, too, and the clenched hand-wringing over Wednesday's shutout seems to be at least partly a signal of the sport's bumptious over-obsession with itself and its supposedly sacred standards. Given the invasion of performance-enhancing drugs into this game, this scenario had been brewing for a long time, so this Cooperstown blanking is no surprise.
But I get why people think the process is flawed. Look: Nobody's crying any tears for some of those denied big names. But I get why there's frustration about other candidates, who did not ever fail a drug test or have any other convincing evidence of use, but appear to have been lumped into an assumption about an era. It's obvious that many of the writers who voted struggled to find some kind of approach—some personal algorithm—to reach a conclusion. In the days leading up to the vote, there were a lot of thoughtful proclamations about what voters were going to do—keep 'em out; let 'em all in; keep proven offenders out; etc.—but it was amazing how little agreement there was. There was no clear path. It was an impossible job. In some cases, there is reliable proof. In others, it's a hunch. It came down to gut calls and guesswork.
What's interesting about this predicament is that baseball itself has moved on from relying on gut calls and guesswork. The sport now lives in an evidence era. Baseball has been revolutionized by information-gathering that has dispensed with the old-school impressionistic mysticism, replacing it with analytics that come much closer to finding reality. Moneyball is no longer considered heresy. It is a search for truth. Baseball is a game of chances, and there will always be hunches, but there are fewer of them. This is a good thing. Data does not lie. Data is honest.
But then here comes the Hall of Fame vote, and again baseball sounds like a confused old man yelling into the wind. This a bed the sport made for itself a long time ago, when it dragged its feet before any meaningful intervention on its PED issue. The Hall of Fame is paying a price for this stubborn delay. But again, there's a lack of forward thinking—was Wednesday's shutout a shock? It appears everyone saw this coming years upon years ago. Shouldn't the Hall of Fame and its voters have developed a protocol? It looks like they drove a car into a wall.
This headache does not appear to be going away for a while. Will gut feeling continue to be a Hall of Fame standard? Will other players be kept in limbo on a hunch? It seems like such a fraught assignment. Will voters abandon ship? Without a coherent plan, who possibly wants to take on this responsibility?
It's a mess. That's why rock 'n' roll has it so easy. Rock 'n' roll loves a good mess. Long may it live.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews.Rating: Lavacore Experience
Aloha, I am going sailing in cold latitudes and want to wear this under my foul weather gear for warmth during windy wet weather and also as a rescue swimmer. Is this a good idea as far as sailing is concerned? An how long is the zipper in the front? Does it go down to the stomach or above the crotch area? I am looking for a quick de zip when having to go to the restroom. Mahalo, Suzette
Hello Suzette, the zipper starts down towards the crotch area and goes up the the base of the neck. This is very easy to get in-and-out of. This is a lightweight suit so this should not add a lot of bulk to what you are currently wearing on the trip.
I am a triathlete and am having a difficult time with wetsuits. I have had two panic attacks in open water, but only when wearing a set suit. I tried a wetsuit again yesterday, I didnt have a panic attack, but I couldnt wait to get it off (almost panicky). Someone suggested lava core because it wouldnt be as tight. I live in Texas and am scheduled to do a try on 3 November. The water wont be really cold, but I may need a wetsuit. Do you think a Lava core wetsuit would be better for me? Do you have any other suggestions?
I would like to order the front zipper wetsuit. Laveacore is offering Free Hood & Socks for both front and rear suits. I only see this offer on your site for rear zipper suit... Can we get same deal with front zipper ? Thank You
I am looking to buy a mens lavacore to wear underneath a wetsuit to keep a bit warmer, or to use stand-alone in warmer waters. I am very thin and therefore dont fit anywhere on the size chart and was wondering if you could make a recommendation based on my measurements: Chest 35", Waist 30", Hips 33", Inseam 30", Height 510", Weight 135 lbs Both ML and M would work out regarding height but are way too wide, so Id actually opt for a S. However, I am afraid the wetsuit would turn out to be too short given my height...
Hi, I know I need to refer to the manufacturers sizing charts, focusing on my waist and bust measurements, but I have heard that these suits run small. Is that true and, if so, should I order a size up? Thanks.
Hello Susan, When you are sizing a wet suit or dive skin the two most important measurements are your chest/bust and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight is the last measurement you would take into account. I have not seen this suit running small. I have found that this one runs true to size.
my body type is "petite and curvy" (not chubbybut short, little, & big bust) and i am looking at either the m or the ml on the size chart. i have heard these run on the smaller side. which size do you recommend?
it''s hard to say without dimensions. The most important measurements any time you purchase a wetsuit using the manufacturer''s sizing charts will always be your waist and chest/bust measurements. The suit needs to fit your torso correctly in order to do its job properly. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a comfortable wetsuit on the surface. You want it to be snug, but not cut off circulation to your extremities. The more snug it is, the thinner the layer of water your body is heating. If its too loose you will remain warm for awhile, but eventually your body won''t be able to keep up with the greater amount of water flowing through the suit and you''ll wind up getting cold faster. After that your height is a secondary measurement. The manufacturers realize that generally speaking your boots and gloves can overlap slightly short arms and legs, or the diver can push or roll up longer sleeves and/or arms if need be. Weight is a measurement the diver can usually ignore. It really has little to no bearing what so ever on the sizing and fit of your suit. The manufacturers do not take into account muscle being more dense than fat, so based simply on fitness levels 2 people can be the exact same size but quite different in weight. This measurement should only be used if the person is literally on the fence between 2 sizes in all categories.
Im looking for a skin to wear by itself and under a wet and/or drysuit. How does this suit compare to the Pinnacle, will they both work well alone and as an undergarment? Which would be warmer? Thanks!
Wear as a stand alone full body exposure suit in warmer waters or as an under suit to a standard neoprene wetsuit for added warmth in the cooler months.
Wind-proof middle layer provides anti-wind chill properties and ensures warmth in cold conditions
Water resistant outer layer facilitates fast water run-off and quick drying

Lavacore is neutrally buoyant
All seams are overlapped during flatlock sewing to decrease water flow
Full gusset incorporated into the underarm to offer exceptional arm movement and stretch
Anti-bacterial inner fleece minimizes odor and eliminates bacteria growth
Extended material on back to keep vests and shirts from riding up
SPF 30+ protection

The seam construction being doubled and flat-locked allows for maximum stretch out of the four way stretch fabric technology without compromising at seam edges.
Panel Design
The Lavacore range includes female and male specific cut and unique design.
Lycra panels with contemporary lines and graphics are incorporated into all garments.
Full Under the Arm Gusset. This ensures there is no rub or irritation on the sensitive under side of the arms and side of the body. It also reduces restricted movement considerably and allows for extra reach without seam strain and damage.

|Mealtime Makeovers
Simple and sweet
By Ashleigh Noyes
This past weekend I was craving something sweet! So as I was sitting down to finish my book and wait for my sister, Alyssa, to arrive so we could start our Sunday afternoon bake-off, I decided to try something! I thawed some of the peaches I put up this summer and attempted a quick and easy mock-cobbler. To tell the truth my husband thought it was a little sweet, so I altered the recipe a little for you. However, the kids, including my seven month old, loved every bite! Try it for a quick dessert for your family, you won't have a bit left.

Now back to her regular programming
National | Talk radio's Dr. Laura, hounded off her television show after a yearlong gay activist "search and destroy" campaign, says she's happy to have her life back
Dr. Laura doesn't want to talk about the past. After a year of almost constant controversy over her recently canceled television talk show, she's ready to put it behind her. Her three-page resumé lists her eight books, four academic degrees, seven national awards, and more than a dozen guest TV appearances-but nothing on her own short-lived show or the furor that surrounded it.
Ask a couple of questions about that tumultuous time, and her PR assistant breaks in: "Moooving on."
Try to sneak in another question, and the publicist gets blunt. "The whole homosexuality issue-I think she's pretty much addressed it. There are so many other things to talk about …"
The luxury suite at the Four Seasons goes quiet. Dr. Laura perches on the edge of a deeply upholstered chair, saying nothing, waiting for a new line of questioning. In a tailored pink jacket and gray slacks, she looks like the sort of well-bred society wife who spends her time doing lunch and getting her hair done. But her body language signals that there's much more to her than that. The set to her jaw, the creases around her eyes, the way her wide smile fades quickly into a grim horizontal line-clearly this is a woman who has endured a lot and emerged on the other side.
No wonder she wants to move on.
Laura Schlessinger, as she's officially known, is still the maven of conservative talk radio, with some 18 million listeners tuning in on 440 stations. She says her ratings have actually increased 15 percent despite the TV imbroglio, and she believes her listeners are more loyal than ever. "I think the good news is, people got to see the mettle of my character," she says, somewhat wistfully. "If there were ever a question of my character, there isn't anymore. I guess in every pile of poop, there is a flower that grows."
With liberals attacking almost daily from the moment her show was announced, that pile got plenty deep. Under pressure from gay-rights groups, Proctor & Gamble withdrew as a sponsor before the show even hit the airwaves. "It was a preemptive strike," she says of the "Stop Dr. Laura" campaign that spawned a website, rallies in 31 cities, boycott threats, and hundreds of negative articles in the mainstream press. "I have the largest family audience of any talk show host in America, and I guess there was concern that having yet another venue to talk about traditional values was too threatening. So they attacked."
Once the cameras finally began rolling, Dr. Laura tried hard to avoid confirming her public caricature. In 130 outings, each covering an average of seven different topics, her television show never once dealt with homosexuality, the subject for which she had taken the most heat. But the critics, she says, refused to judge the show on its merits. "Typically speaking, you would attack a show for its content. They attacked the show for its host. This was an attempt to search and destroy and censor a point of view, which is what the Left does. They don't debate; they destroy."
Stung by the criticism and wary of low ratings, station managers in many markets relegated Dr. Laura to the dismal, post-midnight time slots once reserved for test patterns. Yet despite her fading blip on TV's radar screen, liberals continued their personal campaign against her. One website called the petite blonde crusader "public enemy number one to the gay community, the women's community, and their many allies." A San Francisco city supervisor accused her of "ignorance, heartlessness, and inhumanity." Slate magazine said she was a hypocrite, "full of the weakness and venality she condemns in her callers." And former Rep. Pat Schroeder weighed in by asking: "The pledge of allegiance says, 'With liberty and justice for all.' What part of 'all' is unclear?"
What was unclear to Dr. Laura was the substance of the accusations against her. "It was all lies, taking little soundbites and dramatizing them, re-labeling anything I said as 'hate.' The most horrible part was realizing the media was complicit. That's what gives these fringe groups their power. The media is the megaphone for the Left, so their small point of view became a big issue."
Such a big issue, in fact, that Paramount, the distributor of the Dr. Laura show, announced on March 30 it was pulling the plug after a seven-month run. "On the one hand I'm relieved, because taping a one-hour show for television and then doing three live hours of radio every day was exhausting," she said in a statement at the time. "On the other hand I'm very proud of the show and sad we won't continue."
Two months later, though the sadness still haunts her eyes, she prefers to focus on the positive. "I like my life so much better now. I get my kidlet off to school at 6 a.m., and I don't go on the air until noon, so I've got plenty of time. I write books. I got a new bicycle made out of titanium, so I can do hills more easily. I make jewelry.... I always have stuff to do, but I sort of like having my mornings back.
"I really didn't like doing a taped show," she insists. "It took 4 H hours to do an hour-long show. It takes three hours to do a three-hour radio show. I like that much better."
With some of her free time, Dr. Laura is redoubling her efforts on behalf of the charitable foundation she started in 1998. It was then, while working with Childhelp USA, that she learned of some 100,000 abused and neglected children each year who enter shelters and foster care agencies, often with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. "These kids who are rescued from abuse and neglect at home, they have nothing. So we give them these things we call 'My Stuff' bags, because everyone should have their own 'stuff.'
"We've got toys and clothes and blankets and toiletries and all sorts of wonderful things that people donate or even make themselves. That's what's been wonderful about it-there's been so much personal effort so that when the kids get these bags they know that somebody cared. It isn't just some machine that made a thing to give to them. The bag is put together, it's stuffed by volunteers, by people who care."
To fund the effort to distribute approximately 30,000 My Stuff bags a year, Dr. Laura donates all of her speaking fees to the foundation that bears her name. She solicits donations on the air, and listeners respond to the tune of $5,000 to $10,000 a month. And she hand-crafts necklaces from bits and pieces picked up in her travels, then sells the finished product at charity auctions. So far this year, the jewelry business alone has raised $60,000 for the My Stuff program.
Yet for all the good it does, the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Foundation can sometimes get spattered with the mud thrown at its founder. "At the height of our controversy, there were actually some shelters that refused-refused-the bags because of their personal animus towards me," she says, leaning forward in her chair at the memory of the slight. "They actually would begrudge children these bags for their little social statement. I thought that was egregious."
The story comes out of nowhere, completely unsolicited. Dr. Laura wants to talk about the future, but it's obvious that the past still stings. "It had nothing to do with the content of the bags," she continues. "The Left personalizes things. They go after people. We go after ideas, they go after people. They were willing to hurt the children [in order to] make a statement about rejecting anything that had to do with me. How sick is that?"
The moment passes and she's back on message, talking about her love of radio. "I'm influencing a lot of people to do the right things in their lives, and that is very rewarding. No matter how I'm feeling or what mood I'm in, when I turn on the microphone, I'm in heaven. I'm doing what I believe I was meant to be doing. And I don't believe any one of us has the right or the luxury to cast that aside when God gives us the direction."
Every day, she says, she gets multiple letters from listeners whose lives she has touched. "I'm staying home with my kids now because of you. I didn't have an abortion because of you. I got married because of you. So yeah, it's working."
She's on a roll, counting her blessings. Then the smile fades for a moment and her jaw sets. Though she isn't supposed to be talking about it-though a reporter wouldn't dare ask about it-the ugliness of the past impinges once again on the present. "I guess if I had any delusions of wanting it to come easy, they're gone," she says with a hollow laugh. "They're way gone."
One day, the pain of the public flogging she endured may itself be "way gone." But not yet. For all her emphasis on putting principles over feelings, Dr. Laura does have the latter, and they've been hurt.
Even if she doesn't want to talk about it.

I downloaded the "latest" version and love it. But I do have some problems.
1). Sent mail is not being copied to the sent folder. I have set the preference to save a copy of all emails in SENT but it doesn't work. I tried experimenting with the flag but nothing seemed to work.
2). Some emails I send to receipients are not being received by them. If I respond to a calendar request (accept for example), they get the response. But if I send them a regular email they don't get it.
I'm receiving email fine though.

VIDEO: Crash at Florida intersection sends motorcyclist cartwheeling through the air
CLEARWATER, Fla. - A crash that sent a motorcyclist cartwheeling through the air at a Florida intersection was captured by a red light video camera. Amazingly, the motorcyclist literally walked away after landing on the pavement.
The crash occurred around 3:45 p.m. on May 24 in Clearwater.
Alex Jay Hall, of St. Petersburg, was attempting to turn east on Gulf-to-Bay when he was hit by the driver of the Honda motorcycle, Michael Curtis Smith, of Clearwater.
Smith flew through the air and quickly got up after landing in the roadway. He was not injured.
Hall was cited for an improper left turn and driving with a suspended license without knowledge.
Police say Smith did not have the required motorcycle endorsement on his driver's license.

Tony brought Chrys over to the house. He warned me to be very careful with her because she was very shy but she was really into him and we had to handle her just right if she was going to strip off her bikini and get into some fucking. I really laid it on thick with the compliments and told her how amazingly beautiful she was and how her body was the most gorgeous I had seen in a long time. She was flattered by all the compliments and she really began to unwind and let loose. Tony did his part and got her so horny she even gave him anal. If you are a big tit lover, you will love Chrys and her huge pendulous breasts.

I'm a fan of both and have assumed throughout this season that Ellsbury is leaving and Bradley will start in CF next year.
That said, I think Bradley, who is a very good outfielder with a terrific arm, has yet to show he can hit MLB pitching. At the same age and with virtually identical opportunities, Ellsbury had already demonstrated that ability--see 2007. Ellsbury is much faster on the base paths and in the OF, is beginning to look an awful lot like a .300 or better hitter, leads the Sox in runs scored, is just behind Pedroia in total hits, and is third on the Sox in total bases. In short, right now the two are about even in fielding--maybe the edge goes to Bradley because of his arm--but Ellsbury has a huge edge on offense, which is why he replaced Coco Crisp in 2008.
I still think Ellsbury is gone after this year, but am beginning to think he will leave a hole in the offense.

We're super-excited that our own Katie Carguilo won the Northeast Regional Barista Championship (NERBC) in New York this weekend! Congrats to Katie and to Brady Guinn from Boston's Pavement Coffeehouse who finished second in the NERBC Brewer's Cup using El Gavilán. And, big-big thanks to the many talented competitors who used Counter Culture Coffee in the competition. Please join us in wishing Katie luck at the United States Barista Championship, April 19-22, in Portland, OR.
In addition to her high-scoring espressos and cappuccinos, Katie's signature beverage was comprised of nectarine and lemon juices combined with jasmine green tea, sparkling water, and vinegar topped with an espresso preparation of Haru (from a cooperative in Yiragacheffe, Ethiopia) and served in a grappa glass.
"All of those flavors are in the fermentation water," notes Katie, referring to the production process of ripe coffee cherries in Ethiopia in which coffee beans (seeds) are submerged in water to help to remove the fruity mucilage.
The Haru espresso component for her drink was specially sorted for pre-roast bean size consistency by our roasting department. "It helps the coffee ultimately taste better," observes Katie, "because it can be roasted more evenly." For her espressos and cappuccinos, she used Idido Natural Sundried.
"Winning is really exciting," Katie acknowledges, "but even the other times I've competed and not won were very informative and rewarding. It's one thing to make beverages and taste them and to hone your technique but it's another experience entirely to have other people give you feedback that's completely honest. It was so much fun."
Check out Meister's annotated photo set from NERBC on flickr. And, here's an interview with Katie about coffee in general from WNYC radio in New York.

Upon Chief Daryl Meisner's announcement that he would be retiring, the city undertook an extensive recruitment effort. Dyer was selected from a highly-competitive group of 78 applicants for the position, and seven finalists were chosen.
The finalists met with members of the police department, attended a community reception in June, and were interviewed by the city council, Hier and the city's executive staff.
Dyer holds a bachelor of science degree in organizational management from Ashford University. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy for police executives, and has earned a management certificate from the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Center.
Dyer will start his new duties in Rifle in August.

In this day and age, with athletes gaining notoriety for their off-the-court-and-field activities, I found NBA player Kevin Durant's MVP speech heartwarming and truly inspirational. Durant was visibly emotional as he took several minutes during his acceptance speech to thank his mother.

Alejandro Jodorowski is one of the most famous present-day comic writers. Jodorowsky was born in Iquique, Chile as the son of Russian immigrants. He began his career with several creative jobs, such as mime, actor, film director, a writer of theatre plays and a novellist. An important medium in his output is comics. He made his comics debut in 1966 with the futuristic saga 'Anibal 5', illustrated by Manuel Moro. He also had his turn in drawing his own comics, such as the weekly 'Fabulas Panicas' series, that appeared in the Mexican magazine Heraldo Cultural.
artwork by Georges Bess
In 1978, his first collaboration with Moebius appeared at Humanoïdes Associés, called 'Les Yeux du Chat'. Two years later, they created the absurd science-fiction serial 'John Difool' in Métal Hurlant. He teamed up with artist Arno to create the magical fantasy series 'Alef-Thau' in 1982. This series was continued by Al Covial in 1998. In cooperation with Silvio Cadelo, he began 'Le Dieu Jaloux' and 'L'Ange Carnivore', later both reprinted under the title 'La Saga d'Alendor'. He also began a collaboration with the artist Georges Bess, starting with 'Les Jumeaux Magiques' in Le Journal de Mickey in 1986. Two years later, he began the series 'Le Lama Blanc' with this same artist.

With Zoran Janjetov, he created a series parallel to 'John Difool' with 'Avant l'Incal'. He also revived his first series, 'Anibal 5', with Georges Bess in 1990. From 1991, he started several collaborations for the magazine À Suivre, such as François Boucq ('Face de Lune'), Jean-Claude Gal ('La Passion de Diosamante') and Moebius ('Le Coeur Couronné'). Another famous creation was 'La Caste des Méta-Barons' with Juan Giménez. In 1993, he wrote 'La Vérité est au Fond des Rêves' for Jean-Jacques Chaubin, as well as 'La Guerre de Megamex' for the Japanese artist Katsuhiro Otomo. Two years later followed 'Juan Solo', yet again with Bess, and the detective 'Gilles Hamesh', drawn by Durandur (Michel Durand).
artwork by François Boucq
He began 'Aliot' with Victor de la Fuente in 1996, but cancelled the series after only one episode because of the similarities with his 'Saga d'Alendor'. In 1997, he took on a new cooperartion with Janjetov and Frédéric Beltran to create 'Les Technopères'. Two years later followed 'Megalex' with Fred Beltran. In 2001, he created the hard-boiled western trilogy 'Bouncer' with François Boucq. A year later, he launched the 'Diosamante' series with Jean-Claude Gal. Jodorowsky's stories are absurd but coherent science-fiction, and the use of crazy terminology is a unique feature of Jodorowsky's writing style. Alejandro Jodorowsky was named an Officer in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettes in 2005.

See Insanity and diminished capacity
A person accused of a crime can acknowledge that they committed the crime, but argue that they are not responsible for it because of their mental illness, by pleading "not guilty by reason of insanity."
An important distinction: "Not guilty by reason of insanity" and "diminished capacity"
Although a defense known as "diminished capacity" bears some resemblance to the "reason of insanity" defense (in that both examine the mental competence of the defendant), there are important differences. The most fundamental of these is that, while "reason of insanity" is a full defense to a crime -- that is, pleading "reason of insanity" is the equivalent of pleading "not guilty" -- "diminished capacity" is merely pleading to a lesser crime.
One of the most famous recent uses of the insanity defense came in United States v. Hinckley, concerning the assassination attempt against then-President Ronald Reagan.
The history of "not guilty by reason of insanity"
The insanity defense reflects a compromise on the part of society and the law. On the one hand, society believes that criminals should be punished for their crimes; on the other hand, society believs that people who are ill should receive treatment for their illness. The insanity defense is the compromise: basically, it reflects society's belief that the law should not punish defendants who are mentally incapable of controlling their conduct.
In the 18th century, the legal standards for the insanity defense were varied. Some courts looked to whether the defendant could distinguish between good and evil, while others asked whether the defendant "did not know what he did." By the 19th century, it was generally accepted that insanity was a question of fact, which was left to the jury to decide.
The M'Naghten rule -- not knowing right from wrong
The first famous legal test for insanity came in 1843, in the M'Naghten case. Englishman Daniel M'Naghten shot and killed the secretary of the British Prime Minister, believing that the Prime Minister was conspiring against him. The court acquitted M'Naghten "by reason of insanity," and he was placed in a mental institution for the rest of his life. However, the case caused a public uproar, and Queen Victoria ordered the court to develop a stricter test for insanity.
The "M'Naghten rule" was a standard to be applied by the jury, after hearing medical testimony from prosecution and defense experts. The rule created a presumption of sanity, unless the defense proved "at the time of committing the act, the accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing or, if he did know it, that he did not know what he was doing was wrong."
The M'Naghten rule became the standard for insanity in the United States and the United Kingdom, and is still the standard for insanity in almost half of the states.
The Durham rule -- "irresistible impulse"
Monte Durham was a 23-year-old who had been in and out of prison and mental institutions since he was 17. He was convicted for housebreaking in 1953, and his attorney appealed. Although the district court judge had ruled that Durham's attorneys had failed to prove he didn't know the difference between right and wrong, the federal appellate judge chose to use the case to reform the McNaughton rule. Citing leading psychiatrists and jurists of the day, the appellate judge stated that the McNaughton rule was based on "an entirely obsolete and misleading conception of the nature of insanity." He overturned Durham's conviction and established a new rule. The Durham rule states "that an accused is not criminally responsible if his unlawful act was the product of mental disease or mental defect." The Durham rule was eventually rejected by the federal courts, because it cast too broad a net. Alcoholics, compulsive gamblers, and drug addicts had successfully used the defense to defeat a wide variety of crimes.
The Model Penal Code: turning responsibility to the jury
In 1972, the American Law Institute, a panel of legal experts, developed a new rule for insanity as part of the Model Penal Code. This rule says that a defendant is not responsible for criminal conduct where (s)he, as a result of mental disease or defect, did not possess "substantial capacity either to appreciate the criminality of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of the law." This new rule was based on the District of Columbia Circuit's decision in the federal appellate case, United States v. Brawner, 471 F.2d 969 (1972).
Obviously, this standard is very vague. It leaves a number of factors up to the jury to determine, given the facts of a case and the testimony of experts. About half the states have adopted the Model Penal Code rule for insanity.
The Federal rule: Reagan gets into the act
In 1984, Congress passed, and President Ronald Reagan signed, the Comprehensive Crime Control Act. The federal insanity defense now requires the defendant to prove, by "clear and convincing evidence," that "at the time of the commission of the acts constituting the offense, the defendant, as a result of a severe mental disease or defect, was unable to appreciate the nature and quality or the wrongfulness of his acts" (18 U.S.C. § 17). This is generally viewed as a return to the "knowing right from wrong" standard. The Act also contained the Insanity Defense
Reform Act of 1984, 18 U.S.C. § 4241, which sets out sentencing and other provisions for dealing with offenders who are or have been suffering from a mental disease or defect.

Is this what being "pro life" means?
Pro-Lifers Want To Kill NV Assemblywoman For Supporting Sex Ed (Video) Part I
When your state has the fourth highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation, and among the eight highest rates for repeat teen pregnancies, youd think legislators might reconsider their abstinence-only sexual education programs. And, in the case of Nevada, youd be right. Unfortunately, supporting sexual education and teen pregnancy prevention may prove deadly as Democratic Nevada State Assembly Woman Lucy Flores has discovered.
Ray Hagar from the Reno Gazette Journal reported that on April 1st, Flores spoke in favor ofAssembly Bill 230, which revises provisions governing courses of instruction in sex education to establish a comprehensive, age-appropriate and medically accurate course of instruction in sex education, according to the language in the bill.
According to Hagar, Flores described a hardscrabble childhood with six sisters and a single father working two jobs to make ends meet, then tearfully confessed to having an abortion at age 16.
There wasnt a lot of supervision or sex education going on in this family, and Flores saw all six of her sisters become mothers in their teens:I learned from the very little education that I received in school and again, through relationships that I had growing up. I had six other sisters, all of them became pregnant in their teens all of them. One was 14 years old when she got pregnant with twins. That is what I had to learn from. [Source]But Flores didnt want early motherhood; she wanted a career and a chance to make a difference:
So she mustered up enough courage to tell her father and ask him for money to terminate her pregnancy:
I always said that I was the only one who didnt have kids in their teen-aged years [referring to her family]. Thats because at 16, I got an abortion and it was a very difficult thing for me to do Now in retrospect, if I could go back and be on birth control or better yet learn to fill my life with something else, other than having the attention of a man in the non-healthy relationship, I would have preferred to do that, if someone would have talked to me about it. [Source]
And guess what? Flores bravely shunned mincing words and firmly said that she has no regrets about her difficult decision:
I didnt want to be like that [teen mom]. I wanted to do better and I knew I couldnt do that if I had a baby, just like everyone else (in my family). My dad gave me the money and I went with a friend of mine [to have the abortion] and I will never forget that, having that done. [Source]
I dont regret it because I am here [at the Legislature], making a difference, at least in my mind, for the young ladies and letting them know their options. They can do things not to be in the situation I was in, to prevent it.
And so how do we prevent this [teen pregnancy]? We prevent by education. We prevent by giving them the information and the resources that they need, so they dont have to go to their dad and say, I need $200 for an abortion.
So I wholeheartedly support this because this is an epidemic that is affecting so many of our young people. And I am here today because I did not have the burden of raising children (as a teen). [Source]

Quality Real Turquoise
High quality real turquoise is very rare, in fact, less then 10% of the Turquoise that has been mined throughout history has been high quality real turquoise. Natural high grade Turquoise is valuable and for good reason.
Do to this fact, the art of enhancing turquoise to a marketable color range has been going on for thousands of years. In the early years, wax and oils were used to darken inferior Turquoise, in recent years resins have become the most popular method of enhancing the gemstone. Today, fake Turquoise is being made in China which has very little, if any value, so beware when shopping for the best deal on Turquoise or Turquoise Jewelry as you might not be looking at Real Turquoise.
Buying Quality Real Turquoise and Real Turquoise Jewelry
When buying Turquoise or Turquoise Jewelry, you would be wise to learn a little about this gemstone and also learn the difference between a reputable dealer and those who are just in the business to make a quick buck.

Hello, and first of all I want to apologise if the answer to my question is somewhere in this forum, I tried a bit of search but couldnt get to what I need.
On short : I had zimbra desktop(client version 2.0) running on windows wich was connecting to a server wich is no longer available. My problem is that I cant open/see the mails that I have/send/trash in my zimbra after reinstalling the windows. I saved everything, I have the .msg files under the folder store. Can you please tell me how to open them? all I could do was open them with wordpad, but its not a good option since I have few thousands. Is there a way to import those .msg files into a client, ANY email client.
PS: I have a computer where the zimbra desktop is still running, but I cant open any mail because I get a "cannot connect to server" error, for obvious reasons, since the server is no longer up and running. I cant do anything from there, any button I try to hit, I get the same error.
