Great buck, learning an area is key to bagging good bucks.

Awesome buck.... Best of luck when you guys draw again!
Awesome Scott! Very nice deer!
That's a beautiful buck! Congratulations!
Very nice buck, congrats!
I'm so stoked. I couldn't find my Leupold RXII rangefinder for three weeks. On Wednesday I took a ride back up to the xzone I hunted and low and behold my daughter found it! It was laying right behind where I took the pics. It spent about three weeks up there and survived the rain and snow. That little girl saved me about $400.
Awesome. Nice looking buck sjsmallfield.

Happy-go-lucky Elmo is bubbling over with laughs again. Press his foot and his laughing begins, squeeze the remote control fishbowl and he laughs and wiggles even more. Tickle his tummy and Elmo not only laughs, he tells little jokes, too. Guaranteed to bring on a case of the giggles, this season's Elmo is smaller than he used to be and not too cuddly. You can feel the mechanism through his plush body. That said, this is a novelty toy that will be a sure fire favorite of kids and grown-ups alike. 18 months and up.
SNAP: Activating Elmo just might interest kids who need to work on strengthening hands and fingers. Elmo certainly will motivate them and there are three different ways to discover and remember how he moves. Squeeze his foot, tickle his tummy and press the remote. That's a lot of ways to make things happen. Is it a long term toy? Probably not. This is one of those novelty items that has some redeeming features.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
24 colorful wooden blocks, some with animal faces can be stacked in various open-ended ways. The pieces have interesting shapes and some have holes that fit on posts to hold the critters kids create. These are attractive pieces, nicely finished and pretty abstract. We do wish they came with a storage bag since it is nearly impossible to fit the pieces back into the box for storage. You will need to find a container for these to keep them together once you open the box. It is marked 1 and up, but a better choice for 18 months-3.
SNAP: These open-ended blocks can be used for simple stacking or to create creatures and whatever the child imagines. They also lend themselves to building color and pattern concepts as well as language. As you put them away together, ask you child to give you all the pink blocks, all the blue blocks, etc. These are teachable but playful moments. For kids who are not ready to follow such directions, build language by describing the block your child wants to put in the basket first, next, and so on. You supply the words for beginners. You take your lead from where they are and build from there.

Finding toys that are just right for sitting up babies and toddlers can be difficult. The Cruise and Groove Ballapalooza fills the bill. You'll need space for this large "making something happen" toy that both older babies and toddlers will enjoy exploring. There are two different ways for the big balls to go from the top of the structure to the base. Of course at first, you'll be making it happen--but soon enough your toddler will enjoy making the balls drop again and again. The small green "gate" will be another aspect of the toy your child will enjoy pushing back and forth. There is also an arch for babies to go under. There is music that happily you can turn off and still enjoy the toy. A definite plus in our book. The tripod design of the base makes the toy steady but of course a cruising baby will still need a watchful hand. Our older toddler twin testers loved how the ball could be placed at the top so that it bounces off a platform onto the ramp: "high marks for innovative design." Comes with 8 oversized balls so if two end up under the sofa, you're not out of business.
SNAP: This is big enough to satisfy slightly older kids who may not have the dexterity for more complex ball runs and tracks. Though our testers found this pretty steady, you may want to stabilize it with some tape to the floor. This is not just a good social toy that two or more can use, it is a great hands on setting for dexterity, tracking, color concepts and language.

One of the first weighted push toys we've seen in years. The wooden frame is smooth and finished in bright primary colors. Three see-though rollers turn as it is pushed forward. The primary colored balls and blocks inside rumble as they tumble. We can picture a toddler racing this from room to room delighting in the action and sound. This is a great choice for toddlers who like using their new found locomotion to make things happen. They also like holding on as they get used to walking on their own. You may need to tighten the screws on the side of this from time to time or at least heck them to be sure they are staying secure. We usually prefer hardware not to be exposed, but these are nicely encased, but we are simply suggesting you check them as the toy gets used. For beginning walkers.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2012.
Talk about making things happen, this is it! Touch the flowers and set off the music and lights and sounds. There is no right or wrong way to make this work. We really like the musical selections, not because they ar classic melodies, but the quality of the sound is excellent! That alone sets this toy apart from all too many of the so-called musical toys for tots. There are several modes of play to explore: the scale, animal sounds, silly ones and pure music. The tote handle will please toddlers who like carrying their favorite toys as they move from one room to another. This does have a volume control and teaches kids about cause and effect as well as empowering them to make music. 6 months & up.
SNAP: For all the reasons above, this is a pleasing and interesting toy for learning about cause and effect and giveing children a sense of power, by making things happen. It has a lot of sensory play value.
Age: Infants, Toddlers. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
From toddlers to preschoolers, this 25-piece set will work flat on the floor or standing on stout legs. The surface has a roll around roadway for the vehicle and figure. Blocks can be stored under the four pieces of the tabletop that lift out. This has chunky pieces that are safe for toddlers and fit little hands. The figure is upsized as well for safe play. Set includes stickers that can be added. Marked 1-5. Probably optimal use is 1-3.
SNAP: Big chunky pieces make this a useful first building set. As you play with your child, use the playing pieces for building dexterity as well as language and hands-on understanding of size and color concepts.Ideal for use on the floor or on tabletop. To adapt, you can velcro the flat table to a surface that is the right height for your child.

Huggalos are soft huggable dolls with a dedicated place on their chest for placing a photo of someone special. There's Doodle Dude (made of canvas and intended to be written on), Camo Joe (done in green fleece camaflouge), Huggsley (our favorite - he comes with a cape and is clearly the super hero of the line), and Camo Flo (same idea as Camo Joe but done in pink). We think this collection will have an audience with not only the preschool set--but tweens/teens. The line has a sense of humor and whimsy to it that will likely have wide appeal.
SNAP: Having a photo of a family member can be a comfort take-along when going out into the world. This one is less young looking than most and a little more amusing.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool, Early School Years, Later School Years, Tweens. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Three feet tall and ready to listen, dance, and play pretend, Pumpkin is dressed in an adorable striped dress. She has rosy cheeks, and reddish hair. Oversized dolls like this one become more than decorations in a child's room. They often become the play companion of tea parties, storytime, and bedtime, too. Blabla makes a number of giant size dolls. This is the most humanoid of the group and a smaller version of the doll is also available.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2012.
These black and white puppies, an 18-inch or 8-inch squeaker will grab the attention of newborns and continue to please for a long time ahead. Like the other Baby Long Legs from the same maker, these dolls are a lovely combination of knit and plush. The big one is totally on the mark for toddlers who like a big but light enough huggable to drag about. The photo of this soft cuddly doll with long legs and arms and floppy ears does not really convey just how cute it is. The legs are not rigid or wired, but soft and easy for little ones to grasp. The features are stitched and baby safe. There is also a grey elephant version as well as a pink mouse and a pink or blue bunny. Also adorable, Baby Long Legs Squeakers, Puppies, Bunnies, Elephants and Pink Mouse ($12.99 each) 8-inch miniatures of the bigger dolls that are good for tracking games and will be easy for baby to clutch and carry. Baby safe and machine washable. All ages.
SNAP: We suggest the Baby Long Legs Squeaker from this collection. Use the small high contrast black and white pup for tracking games. It is eye catching and the squeaker inside will attract baby's listening as well as visual attention. Soft,safe and totally cleanable for infants and toddlers.
Age: Infants, Toddlers. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Amazing play value has been rolled into one fabric ball. For newborns, the high contrast images printed on the fabric ball will be interesting to gaze at. They have used faces, targets, and patterns that will attract the visual attention of infants. The panels of the ball are piped with bright satin with lots of colorful ribbon taggies. Give it a shake to hear the jingling bell. This is one of those wonderful fabric toys that plays to all the senses and invites you to play early socializing games with your sitting up baby. A terrific gift for a baby shower or first visits. Marked for 6 months but this will be good as visual stimulation long before baby can reach out and touch.

What makes a good road?
Tight twisties? Long sweepers? A straight shot to the horizon with mile-long vistas to match? Do you dig mountain routes, rolling hills or desert landscape?
Maybe your favorite road is Deal's Gap with its 318 curves in 11 miles. Maybe it's the awesome cliff-hanging ocean-side views and generous lean opportunities offered up by the Pacific Coast Highway. Or it could be some little known slice of asphalt through some remote Appalachian county. Heck, it could even be all 2,400-some miles of America's Rt. 66.
The point is a good road is in the mind of the rider. Beyond nearly universal positives such as perfect pavement and little traffic, we all have our own opinions on what rocks our rubber.
That's why in preparing a feature for our upcoming April issue we need the help of our readers -- AMA members, who are the most die-hard riders on the planet. We've already collected the nominations. Now it's time to vote. So, click on over to our 2011 AMA Best Roads survey and let us know.
Your road not listed? Hey, no need to keep secrets. There's a space to clue us in. (Don't worry. We won't tell a soul...maybe!)

1953 Ford F-100 Helix CornerKiller RX IFS Install - Independent ThoughtsWritten by on December 1, 2009 Helix's New CornerKiller RX IFS For Old Trucks
Every day there are people thinking about plunking down their cold, hard cash for an independent front suspension setup for their vintage truck. The demand of today's classic trucks is far beyond what was expected of them in the past (not in the utilitarian sense-far from it in fact). Trucks are almost expected to ride and handle like most cars these days-which is a bit of a stretch-but there are cars on the market now that will start to apply the brakes for you when you get close to an object! The argument that these kind of ultra-modern features are making up for careless, distracted, and totally non-mechanically minded "drivers" is for another time and place. Nonetheless, most people now want their old truck to ride less like, well, an old truck.
A company called Helix has jumped in the IFS ring with their new CornerKiller RX IFS suspension packages. The kit is available in either a deluxe or economy version. The deluxe CornerKiller RX kit includes TIG-welded tubular upper and lower control arms and the crossmember with ground and smoothed welds, while the economy packages include an ungrounded crossmember. All packages include 11-inch drilled, slotted, and vented rotors with bearings and seals, coilovers, stock height spindles, calipers with brackets and pads, a front-mount manual rack-and-pinion with tie-rod ends and bushings, a spindle nut kit, and all mounting hardware.
There are also options that include Helix's Magnum Mustang II forged, 2-inch drop spindles, power-assist rack-and-pinion steering, or the Helix AirShock suspension system. To make installations easier, Helix offers complete air suspension packages that include everything you need in one box, including compressor, manifold, tank, lines, airbags/shocks, digital control with eight presets, a remote control, and a plug 'n' play wiring harness. Helix also offers an upgrade program that allows you to exchange your old aftermarket suspension parts toward a CornerKiller RX IFS at a nominal fee, which is pretty sweet.
Right now, Helix has kits for '53-56 Ford F-100s and '55-59 Chevy trucks, but they also offer a universal crossmember that can be trimmed to fit just about anything. Join us at Jimenez Brothers Customs (JBC), in Riverside, California, as they walk us through the installation of the CornerKiller RX into a '53 F-100.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here we have your basic stock suspension setup on a '53-56 Ford F-100. Obviously there's a bit of work that needs to be done to strip the frontend of its parts as shown here.After more work, everything is stripped from the front of the frame, except the bumper, which helps hold the framehorns in place during the install. With the frame safely on jackstands, it will need to be leveled from front to back as close as possible. A traditional bubble level should work. For those who need to really know how level things are, there are digital levels out there.One of the first things that needs to be done is to make patterns for the boxing plates of the inside of each framerail from the original front crossmember back to the transmission crossmember, or about 36 inches. The boxing plates should be made from 1/8-inch mild steel, and cold-rolled is preferred over cheaper hot-rolled steel. You'll need at least 6-feet of it, by 6 inches wide.With the boxing plates cut to fit and the frame prepped, it's time to tack weld them in place. Don't forget to chamfer or bevel each edge of the boxing plates and the frame where the two meet for proper weld penetration.Remember to jump around while tack welding the perimeter to avoid warping or misalignment. The same rule applies when it comes time to fully weld the boxing plates in; give them some time to cool between welds if needs be. Next, dress the welds with a grinder to smooth things out, but not to remove too much metal. Avoid hard stones for grinding. They can quickly and deeply scar the surface you are trying to make nice. Try rubber-backed 36-grit sanding discs instead and replace them often.Next, grab the TIG-welded Helix CornerKiller RX crossmember and dress all the edges to be welded with an aforementioned 36-grit sanding disc. Doing this will help for clean welding and make it so you won't have to remove it and do it later after the crossmember is in place.Now, from the center rivet above the front leaf spring shackle mount, measure back 19 3/4 inches. This will give us the axle centerline. It's also a good idea to go over the axle centerline area of the frame with the grinder.Earlier, JBC made sure the frame was level side to side, but it also needs to be level from front to back at the axle centerline as shown. The Helix CornerKiller RX crossmember is pre-cut for proper geometry as long as the frame and the crossmember are level.
With the frame and crossmember verified as being level and the center of the CornerKiller RX crossmember on the axle centerline, Job carefully tacks the crossmember in place. This job is better suited to a higher amperage 220-volt MIG or TIG welder to ensure proper weld penetration and safety.Check everything again for level after the crossmember is tacked in. It'll be easier to adjust the fit now versus after being completely welded in!Here we have the rest of the Helix CornerKiller kit. There are slotted and cross-drilled 11-inch disc brake rotors (choose Ford or Chevy bolt pattern), big GM calipers and brackets, heat-treated 2-inch dropped spindles, adjustable upper and lower control arms, a manual (shown) or power rack-and-pinion unit, and adjustable coilover shocks.The shorter control arms are the uppers. On the bottom, the leg on the control arm that spreads out farther than the other goes toward the rear.Next, the adjustable coilovers can be installed. The Helix coilovers feature chrome springs and 10-point dampener adjustability to help tune the ride you want.Install the spindles with the steering arms pointing forward as shown. Next, use the jack to lift the lower control arm up so the ball joint in the upper control arm will seat in the tapered bore in the top of the spindle and install the castle nuts on each ball joint.The rack-and-pinion unit simply bolts to the CornerKiller crossmember with two provided bolts. Just make sure the steering shaft is coming out the back of the driver side!Now install the caliper brackets onto the spindles. There are two bolts that make this happen, one of them is the big cross bolt that comes in from the front of the spindle (arrow).
The disc brake calipers attach using two standard caliper bolts. Be sure to tighten every bolt down as specified in the instructions. After the new disc brakes are plumbed we'll be in business!


text: Figured this would be a useful topic to get started in here. Dose anybody have tips or tricks to take a bull around a wallow. What makes a good wallow? What do you guys look for? I must say I don't donate a bunch of time to hunting them, but they do have their place. After I find a active wallow i'll Keep checking on the wallow till I see signs of heavy usage, on the first hot day, i'll be in there before 10am or so.. I wanna be in there before the elk make their move to settle down to bed down for the day. Sometimes i"ll get in there and start raking a tree and sounding off with a spike sounding bugle or even splashing the water with a stick. Come on September!!

The cult soap, which first aired on BBC1 in 1986, reached a combined audience of 19 million for its lunchtime and teatime screenings at its peak in 1990. Neighbours focuses on life at the end of an Australian cul-de-sac called Ramsay Street in the fictional suburb of Erinsborough. The families who live on Ramsay Street lead intertwined lives and are constantly swanning in and out of each other'houses, falling in love and dealing with all of life's little problems. Some of the residents of Ramsay Street have become international stars. The marriage of Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue) and their accompanying duet, Especially For You, marked a turning point in the soap's popularity, from niche daytime TV into mainstream cultural icon. Other characters on the show were almost as popular: the resident curtain-twitcher, Mrs Mangel and her goofy son, Joe; the stuffy, but kind Harold Bishop, who made TV history by mysteriously reappearing five years after he was washed away to sea; and ruthless businessman Paul Robinson. Neighbours reached a milestone in 1997 when the last remaining original character, Helen Daniels, died. Her departure marked the arrival of new families: the Martins, Starks and Willises, and later the Hancocks, Scullys and Kennedys. Neighbours has remained among the most popular shows on daytime television and has launched the careers of international stars such as Guy Pearce, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance, Delta Goodrem and Ugly Betty's Alan Dale.

text: By Christy SheetsSports Writer On Tuesday night the Lady Cats traveled to host the Brady Eagles. The Wildcats were ready to show the Eagles what cats do to birds, but the Eagles weren't ready to concede to the confident Cats. In the first quarter the Eagles outscored the Cats by just four, 13 to 17. In the second quarter, the Eagles started to gain momentum, but the Cats refused to give up. The Wildcats headed into the locker room trailing the Eagles by 14, 27 to 41. After the half, the Cats were energized, and ready to take control of the game, but the Eagles refused to let them gain any momentum. At the end of the third quarter the score was 35 to 54. The Cats were trailing, but refused to stop fighting. In the fourth quarter the Lady Cats outscored the Eagles, but it was too little too late. The Eagles won the game, 50 to 66. Offensively, sophomore Christina Daniels led the Cats with 18 points, followed closely by senior Chelsea Sowle with 15 points. Senior Anna Griffiths had eight points, senior Katelyn Melton had five points, and juniors Alexandria Lundvall and Sara Hubbard each had two points. Leading the team with assists were Griffiths (four), Daniels (three), Melton (two), and Sowle (one). Leading the team with offensive rebounds were Daniels (seven), Sowle (three), Griffiths (one), junior Paige Aylward (one), and sophomore Morgan Messersmith (one). Defensively, Melton led the Cats with six rebounds and two steals, followed by Sowle with four rebounds, one block, and three steals, and Daniels with two rebounds and six steals. Griffiths had one rebound and three steals, and Lundvall and Messersmith each had one rebound and one steal.Wallace vs Hayes Center Tuesday, the Wildcats traveled to face the Hayes Center Cardinals. Looking to regain their edge and always up for their rivals, the Cardinals, the Cats took the court with confidence and determination. In the first quarter the Wildcats outscored the Cardinals 16 to 12. The Lady Cats continued to play with energy. Both teams were unwilling to give the other any advantage, but in the end the Lady Cats were able to outscore the Cardinals by three strengthening their lead to seven. The Wildcats headed into the locker room leading, 32 to 25. After half, the Lady Cats were ready to regain control they had from the first half, but the Cardinals came out with something to prove. The Lady Cats played well, but the Cardinals played better, outscoring the Cats by two. The third quarter ended 44 to 39. The Lady Cats who struggled to regain any momentum from the first half in the third quarter, dug deep and found their determination. The Wildcat shooters got hot, and the Cardinals seemed to deflate. The Wildcats outscored their opponent by seven in the fourth quarter, and won the game 65 to 53. Offensively, Daniels led the Cats with 24 points, followed by Sowle with 14 points, and Griffiths with 11 points. Hubbard had nine points, Messersmith had four points, and Melton had three points.

WBB leading 32-30 at the half against #23 Colorado. Came here to see what the talk about this game is and found nothing.
My FSN won't show the game until 4am. Stupid Badger's Hockey game pushed it to tape delay.
too busy watching football
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
Football? Why?
They are now down 10 points 6 minutes into the second half...
This looks like the mens game lastnight. Stupid turnovers and crap shooting.

I am new to this forum. After ten years of applying I drew a late season area 71 deer tag AND a late season area 72 elk tag. Go figure. I hunted area 71 for deer back in 1986 but I've not hunted for elk in Nevada. Any suggestions on info sources, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Great site.

Last week I had the pleasure of joining in a podcast with my colleagues, Craig Lordan, Kevin Giles, and Mike Stewart as they discussed the IBM Collaboration Solutions product documentation wikis with Bruce Elgort and Julian Robichaux.
While I wasn't intending to be an active participant, I did end up talking about a couple of things near and dear to my heart... IBM Redbooks, and my role as PM for the User Experience Lab at IBM Connect in January. Those two things are about the least interesting parts of the podcast. The guys talked about how the wikis started, talked about some of the latest changes we've made, and got into some technical details, too (some of which I don't pretend to understand, since I'm only what I fondly call "nerd-adjacent").
Bruce and Julian make recording their Taking Notes Podcasts fun, and I hope you find it as interesting as we did. I'm not really a competetive person, but I couldn't help feeling a sense of pride and doing a little happy dance when Bruce informed me this morning that our episode of the Taking Notes Podcast broke their download record! 2,600 downloads in 3 days! Can I get a "heck yah!"?

For those of you that are wondering if those Brooke Tessmacher nude pictures are real, they are. She bared it on in a couple of photo shoots on the beach. This was before she made her professional wrestling debut in WWE. Management were aware of the existence of the pictures, but it was considered a non issue at the time. TNA is also aware of them, and they do not view it as something that will cause a negative reaction towards Brooke.

Mens Band Rings
Durango Silver Company has been producing Southwestern style Mens Band Rings for nearly forty years by special order. We are now developing a great line of Mens Band Rings that we will have on hand for immediate purchase by our customers for 2012. We are excited as we have many great new Southwestern designs that we are certain our customers will really like and they are made in the USA!
Mens Band Rings – Made in the USA!
We keep hearing over and over how people are tired of seeing the same Silver Jewelry in store after store, on Jewelry TV and on the Internet. It is true as we have been going to a lot of gem shows and Merchandise shows around the country to be abreast of what is in the marketplace – most of what we see available is imports! As we are moving into the Mens Band Rings business, we wanted to see what was out there available to the public and we see very little artisan made Mens Band Rings. In fact, all of the Band Rings that we have seen are mass produced cheap junk Jewelry that our customers would not be happy with.
It is encouraging to us to find that there is a niche for us in the Mens Band Rings business and so we are going to go forward and produce this new line from our company. You can look forward to seeing some great new Mens Band Rings, Made in the USA by Durango Silver Company very soon.
Southwestern Style Mens Band Rings
Durango Silver Company is from the Southwestern USA and so our Silver Jewelry has a Southwestern Style and appearance that our customers rely on from our company. We are proud to be able to say our Silver Jewelry as well as our Mens Band Rings are made in the USA and in particular Made in the Southwestern USA.
We hope you will follow our new project and watch for great new Silver Jewelry coming out of the Southwest from Durango Silver Company. You will be excited to see our new Silver Band Rings and our great new Mens Band Rings – Coming Soon!

This question is not necessarily for Parents, but I believe a few of you are attorneys so I figured I'd throw it out there (and curious if other's employers are doing the same). My husband's company, where we are insured, just started a new program to get their employees fit. Its an outsourced company, I won't give the name, but they want you to get points to attain higher and higher levels of status. You get points by going to the doctor, working out, taking health related quizes online, etc. But mainly you need to work out to get to the higher (Bronze, Silver, Gold) levels. They are linking their individual employees healthcare costs to their level. So if you are Bronze, you pay $200/mth. If Silver, $150/mth (just examples of rates).
This to me sounds like discrimination. The company has stated that unless you get Silver, you will pay the highest rate. And in order to get points for a workout, you need to walk/run at least 10,000 steps in 24 hour period (which is about 4 miles the average person...oh and did I mention, you need to pay for their specific pedometer to track these steps). Now I know some people do 4 miles in their sleep... but thinking about our population, clearly so many of the employees at this firm are going to be paying more.
It just seems odd to me. I have absolutely no problem encourgaging people to workout and get healthy. I wish so badly that everyone could be healthier... better for them, better for us all, less expensive medicine, etc (I'm actually really psyched that I've recently lost 7 pounds and can run a solid 30 minutes... something I've never been able to do before). However... to me this sounds like the company saying "if you don't exercise the way we tell you and when we tell you, and using the devices we tell you, you will pay more." Is this legal?

Disturb the Universe: Read a Banned Book
Do I Dare Disturb the Universe?
That's a T.S. Eliot line featured in the banned book, The Chocolate War. Banned or challenged books offend some individuals to the point where they don't want anyone else in their community reading that title.
The American Library Association believes in intellectual freedom, which is "the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular." For this reason, they sponsor a yearly celebration of banned and challenged books, called Banned Books Week.
Banned Books Week
This year, Banned Books Week will be held from September 26th to October 1st. You may want to check out some frequently banned and challenged books, such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Harry Potter, and Captain Underpants. Yep, that's right, Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey has been challenged, for "insensitivity and being unsuited to age group, as well as encouraging children to disobey authority."
Here are some other recently challenged books and the reasons why they were challenged. All of this information was compiled by the ALA in their Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie
Banned in the Stockton, Mo. School District (2010) because of violence, language, and some sexual content. Retained in the Helena, Mont. School District (2011) despite a parent's objection that the book contained "obscene, vulgar and pornographic language." This New York Times bestseller won the National Book Award in 2007 in the "Young People's Literature" category, and is on many recommended book lists. Source: July 2010, p. 156; Sept. 2010, pp. 198–99; Nov. 2010, pp. 241, 243–44; Mar. 2011, pp. 73–74.
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
Challenged in the Republic, Mo. schools (2010) because it is "soft-pornography" and "glorifies drinking, cursing, and premarital sex." Source: Nov. 2010, pp. 243–44.
Forever in Blue: the Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares
Challenged at the Theisen Middle School in Fond du Lac, Wis. (2010) by a parent who believes that the book has inappropriate subject matter for children. "Some (of the characters in the book) are sexually active, and alcohol is part of their recreation." Source: July 2010, pp. 156, 176.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Challenged and presented to the Goffstown, N.H. school board (2010) by a parent claiming that it gave her eleven-year-old nightmares and could numb other students to the effects of violence. Source: Jan. 2011, pp. 10–11.
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher
The Belleville, Wis. School Board (2011) decided to keep a book that's required reading for high school freshmen in the curriculum despite a parent's complaint that the book was "pornography" and its language was "pervasively vulgar." Published in 1993, the novel has been read by ninth-grade students at Belleville High School for eight years. The book deals with topics of abortion, sexuality, and the power of religion. Source: Jan. 2011, p. 13; Mar. 2011, p. 75.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon
Removed from the Lake Fenton, Mich. summer reading program (2010) after parents complained about its "foul language." The book is about an autistic child who investigates the death of a neighborhood dog. It was a joint winner of the 2004 Boeke Prize and won the 2003 Whitbread Book of the Year award. Source: Sept. 2010, p. 200.
There are literally hundreds of challenged books each year. You can find a list here.
Something New This Year: Virtual Read-Outs!
They are online videos featuring popular young adult authors. Find out more at the YouTube BBW Virtual Read-Out and watch Jay Asher, Chris Crutcher, and Lauren Myracle speak out for intellectual freedom.

1968 Chevy Chevelle Steering Adjuster Sleeves - Bum SteerWritten by Johnny Hunkins on March 1, 2010 Contributors: Lester P. Scoggins A Little Preventative Maintenance With Some New Steering Adjuster Sleeves From CPP May Save You Big Headaches Down The Road.
When NASA's space shuttle first went into service 30 years ago-yes, it's been that long-nobody ever intended it to be flying for three decades. To be sure, it's been upgraded, refurbished, and well maintained, but we've also lost half the fleet. The point here underscores the importance of regular care and upkeep on our antique hot rods. Even with the best loving care, it's easy for some very important items to slip between the cracks.
The steering system of a 40-year-old muscle car was likewise never meant to suffer the outrageous punishment of the highway for that long. Our '68 Chevelle project car, though well taken care of, has a laundry list of lesser components that if not addressed over time have the potential to wreak havoc. Making the situation more critical is the extra power and handling we've put into the Chevelle. The old factory steering pieces were just too overstressed. One such component is the stock tie-rod adjuster sleeve, of which there are two. As part of the tie-rod assembly, all the Chevelle's substantial cornering load was being transmitted through a stamped steel production adjuster sleeve.
In previous issues (Dec. '08 and Jan. '09), we upgraded our brakes and master cylinder with components from Classic Performance Products (CPP), and at that time we took the opportunity to swap out the stock adjuster sleeves. These are the pieces that allow the toe-in to be adjusted; the inner tie rod threads into one side, and the outer tie rod threads into the other side. The adjuster sleeve and the two tie-rod ends make one complete tie rod assembly, and there are two of these on each Chevelle. Right- and left-hand threads are provided on each tie rod to facilitate adjustment (think of it as a really beefy turnbuckle).
CPP sells an entire range of suspension, steering, and braking components for GM A-bodies ('64-72). In many instances, there are several levels of strength, from stock to full-on race. CPP offers three levels of tie-rod adjuster sleeves for Chevelles-the stock stamped piece with clamps, a cylindrical stainless steel piece with machined adjustment "flats," and the new hexagonal aluminum pieces that we installed. These newest aluminum units are lighter, and with a hexagonal shape, they afford much easier adjustment.

More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Last year, we upgraded to CPP's front-end package of tubular upper and lower control arms, springs, anti-swaybar, idler arm, and inner and outer tie-rod ends with new stock adjuster sleeves. This photo shows our setup at the time it was upgraded. This view does a good job showing the overall geometry and function of the GM A-body steering design: steering input comes from the Pitman arm attached to the steering box. That motion is transferred directly to the drag link-sometimes called the relay rod (center). The idler arm provides a neutral pivot point, and is geometrically similar to the Pitman arm. The tie rods are the links that transfer motion from the drag link to the spindle. A failure from any part of the system can result in a loss of steering. Not good.The Chevelle's tie-rod adjuster sleeves: the heavy-duty aluminum hex sleeves on the left (CPP PN ES2032SP-AR, $69 per pair), and the stock sleeves (CPP PN ES2032S, $9.00 each). Note the locking jam nuts that come with the aluminum sleeves.Besides the lighter weight of CPP's aluminum sleeves, there is some added practical utility. The stock sleeves are stamped from steel, and leave crevices for water and road dirt to accumulate. Over the years, rust can develop, causing the clamp nuts to freeze in place.Our stock adjuster sleeves were only a year old, so they came off relatively easy. If your Chevelle still has the stock ones, you might be in for a bit of a fight. Before removing the old ones, take down measurements for the length-even if you're not replacing the tie-rod end links. Our inner and outer end links were replaced last year, but we've included the CPP part numbers in our chart. Note that the '64-70 tie rods are all the same, but the '71-72 tie-rod end links have different threading.At some point, your Chevelle will need an alignment, and the toe-in will be set using the tie-rod adjuster sleeves. The sleeve will be set where the alignment is best, without regard to where that places the stock clamp nuts. This photo illustrates that this may not always be in the most ideal location, and may be too close for comfort for some tool access. The hex stock of our new pieces eliminates this problem.f you're just replacing the adjuster sleeves, you only need to disconnect the outer tie-rod end from the spindle. You should have no vertical movement of the tie-rod coupling on the spindle-if you do, it's time to get new tie-rod ends. Use a mallet to loosen the tie-rod end from the spindle (after removing the cotter pin and castellated nut). Use a pickle fork at your peril: it will usually ruin everything it touches.Thread the adjuster sleeve onto the inner and outer tie-rod ends after you have threaded the locking jam nuts on. Make sure you turn both ends the same number of times, comparing the overall length to the measurements you took earlier. When you get them the right length, tighten the jam nuts.

Around the World with ATH in KC: Australia and Greece
Today on Around the World with Around the Horn, we travel abroad with a Royals fan from Australia and meet a fan who visited Greece!
First, meet Jason from Sydney, Australia, who became a Royals fan when he watched Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. It was a replay at 3 a.m. in Australia! He has since become a regular at Royals Fantasy Camp in Arizona, where he met childhood heroes, including George Brett, Frank White and Willie Wilson. The first photo is Jason at Fitzroy Falls, which is about two hours south of Sydney.
Jason also mentioned that his thoughts are with all of the people that have been impacted by the flooding in Queensland. He recently attended an Australian Baseball League game and won a raffle that supported the flood victims. The prize for this Kansas City fan – a jersey signed by former Royal and fellow Australian Justin Huber!
Next, meet Robbie, who traveled to Athens, Greece in March, 2010. He visited the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis in Athens. He also sported his KC hat as he checked out Filopappos Hill in Athens (below). The Aegean Sea is in the distance – what a view!
Please keep sharing your Royals-related travel stories and pictures from spring training, road games and places around the world…you can e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Again, your chances of making the blog are significantly higher if you're sporting team gear!
