Amy Fusselman writes the "Family Practice" column for the McSweeney's online 'zine, Internet Tendency. Her first two books--The Phamaracist's Mate and 8--have just been published (by McSweeneys) in one unique volume. After reading The Pharmacist's Mate, you flip the book around and upside down to read 8 on the other side. We chatted with Amy via email about what she's reading, and more.Describe The
Pharmacist's Mate in one sentence?
Dad going, baby coming, boat floating, doctor, doctor!
That's a phrase, though.Describe 8 in
one sentence? In 10 words?
Here's a haiku:
Getting a motor
cycle license at 40
is hard. I digress.What's on your nightstand/bedside table/Kindle?
Peculiarity by Edward Gorey and Karen Wilkin
The Cursing Mommy's
Book of Days by Ian Frazier
reading format: print? digital?
I'm an equal opportunity reader.
When I was a kid I had an edition of The Little Fur Family
that had a real fur cover. It was a precious and exotic object to me. I am
waiting for book production today to go in that direction--to differentiate
itself from digital by making hardcover books covered in fur and encrusted with
One kids' book I discovered as an adult is Who Needs
Donuts? by Mark Alan Stamaty. My kids and I adore that book. It would
probably be even better covered in fur, though.
are you obsessed with now?
I love cardamom. I want to
put it in everything. That's a short term obsession. I have many long-term
obsessions. One is "The Nutcracker." I see the New York City
Ballet perform it at Lincoln Center every year and I really believe it is a
perfect piece of art. There's a party, a battle, a little girl bringing down an
army, a snowstorm, an intermission, and then a long parade of dancing candies.
The structure is insane. Two years ago we had the good fortune, in New York
City, to have Mark Morris's "The Hard Nut" staged in Brooklyn at the
same time that the New York City Ballet was doing their annual Nutcracker, so
we had a little Nutcracker curriculum going on here. I am reading
Nutcracker Nation by Jennifer Fisher right now and loving it.
Nothing that can't be dealt with by thinking hard about dancing
candy. I'm very lucky.
next for you?
I have another book coming out called Savage
Park. I have a web site I just started called Ohio Edit. I am going to
publish books with jewels on them. I am going to drink a big cup
of cardamom coffee. I think that's all for now.

ABC7 TRAFFIC: Good Morning Washington has updates every 10 minutes beginning at 4:30 a.m. http://tbd.ly/95jmWZ
ABC7 WEATHER: Mostly sunny with highs in the 50s. http://wj.la/72e8x6
'GOOD MORNING WASHINGTON': Among the stories being covered - Breaking details of a deadly fire and shooting inside a house near the University of Maryland; fallout from North Korea's nuclear detonation test; today's Clarendon Alliance Mardi Gras Parade, with street closings; and much more, beginning at 4:30 a.m.
TRENDING ON ABC7 FACEBOOK: Chicago police spokeswoman Melissa Stratton said Monday that two young men are charged with first-degree murder in connection to the Jan. 29 death of Hadiya Pendleton. Pendleton, a 15-year-old honor student who was shot last month, had recently returned from Washington, where she'd performed during inauguration festivities with her high school band. http://wj.la/XxRqDY
VIRGINIA MOVES ON MEDICAID: But with stipulations, per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "House Republicans on Monday maintained that their openness toward Medicaid expansion is contingent on fixes to the current system. "It is universal that we do reforms first. That's the way to get to expansion, because the program as it is today is broken," said Del. S. Chris Jones, R-Suffolk, at a GOP news conference." http://bit.ly/VQtbqi
NEW POPE?: Speculation varies widely, per the New York Times, "Pope Benedict XVI's surprise decision to resign on Monday immediately set off a flurry of speculation about his replacement, who will be called upon to guide the Roman Catholic Church through an increasingly secular era in which the church has lost the certainty it claimed for centuries." http://nyti.ms/128YRsX
NAVY SEALS: One in particular, per the Center for Investigative Reporting, "The Navy SEAL who says he killed Osama bin Laden is unemployed and waiting for disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. In an exclusive story for Esquire by Phil Bronstein of the Center for Investigative Reporting, the SEAL adds many details to what already is known about the death of the al-Qaida leader. His name is withheld to protect his identity." http://bit.ly/11Cv64q
NO SURPRISE HERE: Buddy, can you spare a dime?, per the Washington Post, "High-income households account for one in every seven in the Washington region, according to new census figures that underscore how the nation's corporate, financial and government capitals thrived during the recession. Nationally, Washington ranked third among all metro areas with high concentrations of households in the top 5 percent, a group that begins at $191,500." http://wapo.st/14Pn1av
WE DON'T LIKE YOUR KIND: So, you know, go away, per the Virginian-Pilot, "Supporters say it would preserve the constitutional right of free association on college campuses. Critics say its purpose is more nefarious: to undermine a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision and permit otherwise improper discrimination by college clubs supported with public dollars. The pro-side won out Monday when the Virginia Senate voted 22-18 to approve legislation that would allow student groups to restrict membership to those committed to their missions." http://bit.ly/12nKLza
COMPLICATED DEAL: Just the facts, per ABC7 - WJLA, "Seventeen-year-old Clint Amaya was working with an auger at the Eagle Hill Horse Rescue Farm in Culpeper last month building fences when his glove got caught in the machinery. It was his fourth day of court ordered community service as part of a juvenile conviction for possessing stolen goods. He'd spent all his time at the farm working on fences. "It happened so fast my arm got stuck there and it got ripped," explained Clint Amaya. "It was gone." http://wj.la/X0FyOz
POLITICO PLAY: "Washington's latest budget rumpus is perhaps best understood as a Western in which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid plays a Nevada buckaroo ranch foreman charged with driving the House Republicans back to the Oval Office corral for deficit talks with President Barack Obama. Speaker John Boehner bolted before Christmas and is now threatening to let across-the-board spending cuts go into effect March 1. Reid must cut Boehner off at the pass and steer him back to the president, who left $600 billion in entitlement savings on the table in December." http://politi.co/X40kcV
INSIDE THE BELTWAY: Specifically, its fast lanes, per the Washington Examiner, "The new Beltway Express Lanes lost $11.3 million in their first six weeks of operation, new documents shown to investors from operator Transurban show. The lanes raked in $800,000 in tolls and $200,000 in fees and other revenue but had $3.2 million in operating costs, as well as depreciation of $2.1 million and financing costs of $7 million, according to documents the Australian company showed investors and that were first reported by TollRoadsNews." http://bit.ly/VPnN1c
HEY, NO FAIR: Ruffled feathers in Maryland, per the Washington Times, "Maryland Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot says a bill that would remove some of his tax-collecting duties is political payback from Democratic leaders for his opposition to gambling. Mr. Franchot, a Democrat, is irate over legislation that would reassign the tasks of regulating and collecting taxes on alcohol, tobacco and motor fuel from his office to the state's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR)." http://bit.ly/XxX4WH
PREBBLE OUT AT O'CONNELL: There also is a back story, per ARLnow, "On Twitter, Bishop O'Connell students seemed pleased with Prebble's resignation. One called it "a graduation present to the Class of 2013." Another said the resignation was "better late than never," while referencing a controversial decision last year to fire John Harrison, a beloved social studies teacher." http://bit.ly/WfQ3w9
OF WHEATON: As well as a makeover, per Greater Greater Washington, "Downtown Silver Spring is anchored by the Civic Building. Rockville Town Center has its library. Wheaton, meanwhile, will have the Montgomery County Planning Department. If the revitalization of Wheaton is going to succeed, it'll need much more than a government office building." http://bit.ly/Xs14vs
FAT TUESDAY: And a great read about Mardi Gras, per the Times-Picayune, "The post-Hurricane Katrina flowering of entrepreneurship in New Orleans has attracted widespread recognition in recent years. The Washington-based Brookings Institution found 450 of every 100,000 adults in the city starting businesses, beating the national average by 130. National publications took notice. Long before those plaudits starting rolling in, however, New Orleans already had an incubator of creativity, innovation and enterprise ingrained in its culture, also called Mardi Gras." http://bit.ly/X0TOXv
SPORTS, BRIEFLY: Wizards beat Milwaukee 102-90.
HIGHER EDUCATION: Quality at a cost, per DCist, "Students entering George Washington University next year will pay $58,488 per year for their education and housing, reports the Hatchet. The tuition rate is 3.3 percent higher than last year's freshman class, and almost double the $29,350 that incoming students paid a decade ago." http://bit.ly/WZTRTC
NEWSTALK: Among today's topics (10 a.m., NewsChannel 8) will be a preview of President Obama's State of the Union address.

Date of Stay: May, 2015
Camped here the last week of May. Arrived on Wednesday. Camp was quiet. There was wildlife galore. Wild turkeys, deer, huge jack rabbits. It is a bird-nerd's paradise. On Friday night it got busier and by Saturday it was packed. Wildlife left. Sites 97 - 100 stack you up and your back window may be looking onto someone's picnic table. There are many sites where you have more privacy. Choose carefully. A couple sites leave your front door facing the road. Overall, it is a wonderful park. There is a pool, visitor center and convenience store. Bring what you need because you will be about 35 miles from the closest town. You will also pay an extra $10 as the entrance fee for the National Park. We took a moonlit hike guided by a retired ranger. Wonderful experience. Would definitely visit here again. May not want to visit here in summer. Would be very warm. Sites were level. No fires allowed.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
The park is clean and well maintained except for the roads. Of course, keep in mind that this place gets snow and that probably makes it difficult to keep roads smooth. Nice hiking trails with access from the park. Saw deer in the park in the evening. Tengointernet Wifi works on PC & Ipad not Iphone. Cable at site did not work had to string it from another site. It also had low signal issues during our stay. Camp personnel did work with us. They were very helpful. Park is close to gas stations, groceries, etc. It was quiet - could not hear road noise or trains. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Level, back in sites. Gravel, no grass and no shade. No reservations: 1st come, 1st served. No WiFi or cable TV. But for $25 you can't have everything. However, if you are looking for a no frills, clean park this is a great spot. Spacious clean bathrooms and showers. Two blocks off of 395 so it is very quiet especially for sleeping. Five minute walk through fairgrounds and you are on main street. Not sure if people don't know about this park. There were only two others there and one pulled out late evening. We had park to ourselves. Starbucks is two blocks away. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Large parking lot with some trees and spots of grass here and there. Not all sites are level. Lots of cracks in asphalt. Reno Sparks is about 10 miles away. Good for overnight only. Cabelas and Boomtown Casino are within walking distance. Trains run near park in canyon below. WiFi was non-existent. The parks that we have stayed at that use Matrix WiFi are getting ripped off. Signal is always very weak and knocks you off when you do get on. The positive is that you great views of the mountains and since the park was fairly empty it was quiet.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Clean, well maintained park, with level sites. There are a few sites that are double. The front of a rig is up against the back of another. I don't know how you would park. Good WiFi, limited cable TV channels. Good for families as the Quincy park is right outside the RV park. The City park includes pool, playground equipment and skate park. Quincy fairgrounds a couple blocks away. Would have to drive for shopping. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Large, clean, well maintained secure park. Level sites. Good for big rigs. Wi-Fi was spotty. You have to keep logging in constantly. Trains run at all hours of the day and night right behind the park. There is a bus stop right outside of park. The park is located in a semi-residential, industrial area. You have to drive everywhere. No shopping close by. There is cable TV but the channel selection is minimal and probably not ones that you watch at home. Fitness room is used, left over equipment. Would not stay here again because of location. Caters mostly to older retired people.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Clean, nicely maintained park with level shady sites. Good Wi-Fi and cable. Easy access off I-5. Walgreen's within walking distance. Friendly, personable husband and wife run the park. They were helpful and accommodating when we had a tire issue with our RV. Saw a lot of kids so I'm assuming that it's family friendly. The pool was clean and busy. Laundry facilities were clean. Two separate walking areas for dogs. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Gravel and asphalt everywhere. Hard to walk dogs in the heat. The large grassy area that was available was dead. Clean park. Friendly office staff. Couldn't find any other parks in Sacramento that looked clean or safe. This one fit the bill. All attractions must be driven to. Hookups are kind of weird. Hookups for next site over were on our site. Good cable TV has lots of channels.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Clean, easy to drive in and set up. No obstacles such as buildings or trees. Super clean pool and spa, bathrooms, showers. Complimentary brewed to order coffee in lobby. Large area for dogs to run around in. Wish we could have stayed here longer. About a mile off from I-5 but couldn't hear traffic noise.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Clean park. Quiet except for noise from I-5. Walking distance into town. Showers were a little dirty, looked like they had not been cleaned in a few days. This area of Oregon is warm in summer, a pool would be nice.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Positives: Clean, well maintained park. Clean laundry room. Walk to major department store. 2 pools. Close to walking areas(got info from maintenance man). About 5 miles from train into city. Negatives: Rude office staff - don't ask for suggestions or help about anything. Park located under airport flight path, trains and river boats run all night. Noisy all the time. Cable TV - garbage channels - no variety. I-5 gets jammed up with traffic in that area. This park is located right before you cross the bridge to Vancouver, WA.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
Great location - ocean on one side, San Diego Bay on the other. Other than that it is the pits. The gates close at 9 PM you can't enter or exit until 8 AM. Packed in like sardines in a parking lot. There are probably two choice spots in the whole park. There was no room to park our truck. We were directed to a lot where we got a parking ticket. The second night we asked the park ranger where we could park. Even though there were empty spots, and three huge empty parking lots, he made us park about 2 miles away on a city street. We left a day early. There is also no dump station nor will they tell you where you can find one. I think that because of the great location they can provide horrible customer service and get away with it.

text: In the popular imagination, the 1920s is regarded as a decade of plenty: during the decade, Americans manufactured and purchased automobiles, radios, and scores of new consumer products at a pace never before seen. The American economy was strong, and its strength seemed inexhaustible. Yet, late in the 1920s, growth of the consumer economy began to slow. By 1929, the economy had retracted: factories closed and countless Americans stood in breadlines to receive their meals. For those who doubted that the economy had collapsed, the October 1929 crash of the stock market served as a clear sign that the nation languished in the doldrums of a severe economic depression. The Great Depression was so severe that by 1933, it is estimated that onethird of the population was out of work, and entire sectors of the economy, for example, the New England textile industry, shut. Although Mississippians were aware of the nationwide 1920s boom and some benefitted from it, the vast majority of Mississippians, particularly farmers, never fully tasted the economic bonanza of the decade. By the early 1930s, however, the depression had become so deep that even the agricultural economy of Mississippi keenly felt the strain. Finished products were in short supply, and the price paid for Mississippi's chief product—cotton—hovered at the 5 cent level, down by more than 50 percent from its previous peak in the twentieth century.

Reason and Religious Belief, now in its fifth edition, explores perennial questions in the philosophy of religion. Drawing from the best in both classical and contemporary discussions, the authors examine religious experience, faith and reason, the divine attributes, arguments for and againstthe existence of God, divine action (in various forms of theism), Reformed epistemology, religious language, religious diversity, and religion and science.Revised and updated to reflect current philosophical discourse, the fifth edition offers new material on neuro-theology, the "new Atheism," the intelligent design movement, theistic evolution, and skeptical theism. It also provides more coverage of non-Western religions - particularly Buddhism - andupdated discussions of evidentialism, free will, life after death, apophatic theology, and more. A sophisticated yet accessible introduction, Reason and Religious Belief, Fifth Edition, is ideally suited for use with the authors' companion anthology, Philosophy of Religion: Selected Readings, FourthEdition (OUP, 2009).

GMC Yukon Reviews
GMC Yukon Reviews and Owner Comments
i have a 1993 yukon 2dr 4wd . its lifted and has 35 inch tires on it and runs great. 189k and counting , not a fan of the ifs system so much as it tends to wear out parts due to big tires way faster than a solid axle setup , but i upgraded all my cv axles and steering components to beef it up when the stock stuff wore out so shoud be good. plenty of room easy to work on and cheap parts , cant ask for much more
2003 Yukon SLT. About 3 months ago my "low coolant warning" signal came on. So I took the truck in, they topped it over and said to just monitor it till I brang the truck back in a few weeks to do my routine oil change. A month later, sensor went off again. So I took it in to do a pressure test. They said the test came back okay, but that most of the liquid in my reservoir was water. So I had them do a complete flush and refill. Its been about two months since I've done that and my sensor has gone off again. I checked the reservoir in the morning, coolant was up to line on reservoir. Checked for any leaks from hoses, etc. no visual leaks from hoses, etc. No visual drips on ground. I went to check it again in the afternoon and the coolant went down about 1/2 inch. I don't know if just opening the reservoir will do that? But, I can't figure out what's wrong. It can't be a bad sensor because when I top it off, the sensor doesn't come back on! Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
2006 GMC SLT love this truck no problems rides very nice, wish i could buy a new one. best truck for 10k, can't get enough of driving this truck
I've just been told that I need a new transmission. My yukon only has 101,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. Any suggestions of what could be causing hesitation when going 50+ MPH instead of a new transmission? What should the cost be for a transmission?
I love my Yukon, its rides smooth and is very confortable seating, overall i love it.
I love this Truck! I have not had a single problem with it for 6 years. It is a quiet, stable ride with plenty of room for 8. In my opinion it drives better than our Audi!
short wheelbase 4x4. comfortable, holds 8 people, although no legroom for third seat due to short wheelbase.Only real problem has been related to 4x4. Transfer case seals going out and problems engage or disingagement. Milage around 15mpg average. Had this car since 2004.
I really like my Yukon, it has a lot of power, great body and makes me feel secure. I just got my 1998 Yukon SLT (5.7L) last month, I had the dealership replace items prior to my purcahse. However I have had to take it back up there twice now to have those same items fixed again (not the Yukons fault). I have also had to replace/fix other things on it (injectors, oxygen sensors, pitman arm, idle arm and a couple small parts) in the few days I have been able to drive it. Ran great for a week, then multiple problems... Lol! Seems to be running good now. I hope I will be able to bring it up to snuff quickley and enjoy my new ride. Got some custom seats covers that look great too.
well, i have had my 2001 for about a year and a half now. i bought it off of my father inlaw. i love my yukon. the only problems i have had in the time i have had t is that my a/c - heat setting has stopped working on the 1 and 2. 3 4 and 5 are still great. the major thing i have had was that my power steering went out at 100k miles, it worked just fine up untill the nite it quit. now i have 20" wheels so that may have caused it. the other thing is that i had to have my transmission replaced at about 110k. that was a shocker but again it has had some ware and tare, it has towed a 17 foot bass boat to Canada every year for the last 8 years straight. other than those little mishaps. it has been an awesome truck. (since the new tranny was installed it has been a beast)
I like my 1996 yukon it's a sold ride.
I've had my 1999 4WD SLT Yukon since it was new from the dealer. I've had some issues over the 12 years. Replaced the air conditioning, fuel pump, water pump, power steering fluid hose, water intake manifold hose, breaks twice, serpentine belt twice. It's got 152,000 miles on it. I consider these fixes fairly normal. I would buy the same truck again.
This vehicle rocks.
GMC Yukon 2002. Started with 3 miles directly from the dealer. Now the mileage is over 334488. Have picture to prove it. Amazing truck! Towed a lot and very strong and reliable. Definitely love it!
I've had my 2002 GMC Yukon SLT (2WD) for about six years. Bought it at auction w 40,000 miles on it. Not too long after, the transmission failed: wouldn't shift into third or reverse. I paid $900 to have it fixed but later found out it would have been covered by warranty. Too bad for me. Now at 130,000 miles I have not had one single problem with this vehicle. Not one. Nothing. I do regular maintenance on it: oil, fluid & filter changes. I went to do the brakes on it at 70,000 but the pads were in such excellent shape, I just put it back together without changing them. At 110,000 miles I changed the plugs, spark plug wires, hoses, belts, water pump, fuel filter, air filter, PVC valve, brakes and all fluids (nothing was failing, just maintenance). Even at 130,000 the massive brakes were in great shape, meat still left on the pads but what the heck? The rotors were great, I've never turned them and I returned the ones I bought to replace the originals as they were in such good shape. I'm surprised how reliable this vehicle has been for me. Actually I did have a problem I forgot about: I blew out the front speakers on the stock radio and replaced them. I have the towing package and can tow like there's nothing back there (5.3 liter engine). Average 16.5 mpg with my lead foot (80 mph), tank after tank. Eventually I'll get a new truck but everytime I think about spending $40k to replace my Yukon, I say: "one more year."
This is the truck of champions. After owning this I never want to get another vehicle. Gas mileage could be better but other than that its an excellent truck.
90+ little trouble hope to keep it that way
A 100,000 miles and little trouble. A true work horse.
We been using my buddies Yukon for duck and deer hunting and you can't beat it, Rain, Snow, Its smooth riding and holds dogs guns and all the gear and gets 20 mpg to boot.

Prayer Life of a Spiritual Champion (7 of 8) by Stan Coffey
This content is part of a series.Prayer Life of a Spiritual Champion (7 of 8)
Series: God's Olympics
Stan Coffey
James 5:16-18
We are going to talk today about the ''Prayer Life of a Spiritual Champion.'' We could not leave this subject of how to be a spiritual champion without talking about the subject of prayer. For all the spiritual champions that we read of in the Bible were men and women of prayer. And certainly we cannot be a spiritual champion and be all God wants us to be apart from knowing what it is to pray effectively, how to touch heaven, how to get our prayers answered.
James 5:16-18 ''Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. 17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.''
As I look at this crowd today and I cannot imagine anyone at any stage in life that does not need to learn more about prayer. Certainly there are some today who just got married. If you were married recently then you know as you face life together, as you seek to establish your home, you want to learn how to pray, to have that home, that relationship that God wants you to have as a married couple.
And certainly when school begins we are all reminded as a parent you need to pray for wisdom, amen? If you are a teacher, you not only need to pray but you need prayer. Many of you are in a time in your spiritual life in walking with the Lord when you are seeking to know more and seeking to get closer and seeking God's direction, God's leadership, so you certainly want to know how to pray and find the will of God and the mind of God.
Many of us have friends who do not know the Lord, we know people who are way from the Lord, we are concerned about their spiritual condition, their relationship with the Lord, and so we want to know how to pray for them. What can we do in prayer that would move them toward God that would influence them to come back to the Lord? So all of us have a need to know more about prayer. The prayer life of a spiritual champion is given to us here in the example of a man named Elijah.
So the first thing I want us to see here in these verses is the character of effective prayer. We looked at the life of prophet from the Old Testament given by James in the New Testament as an example of what it is to be a spiritual prayer warrior. And James says the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
A. The Intensity Of The Asking
I want you to notice first of all then the intensity of the asking. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. This is picturing prayer not just as ''I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep'', not just a little light prayer, not just a prayer hastily said and easily forgotten, but a prayer ...

Federer hails Djokovic as 'real' No 1
After losing his world No 1 ranking, Swiss star says Serb deserves his place at top of the pile
Related topics
Roger Federer is in no doubt that Novak Djokovic deserves to finish 2012 as the world's top-ranked player.
Federer replaced Djokovic at the top of the standings after winning Wimbledon in July but ceded the No 1 position to the Serb yesterday.
And with the Swiss star unable to improve on last year's perfect performance in winning the 2011 season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London, not even an unblemished victory this year at the O2 Arena will see him regain top spot before 2012 is out.
"We know who the real No 1 is," said Federer. "It is going to be Novak. I do not think there should be any debate around about that.
"You do not get to No 1 by chance. The rankings are something that shows how you have played over a 365-day period. It might all change again in two months at the Australian Open but right now it is clear."
Federer all but conceded the No 1 ranking this year when opting out of defending his Paris Masters title last week on the grounds he could not do himself justice by playing successive tournaments in Basel, Paris and London.
"I obviously gave it everything I had," said Federer. "I've played so much tennis the last one and a half, two years and I'm happy I got back to world No 1."
"It's obviously a time where you need to win at least a slam, if not more slams, or at least five to 10 titles, so we're not talking about just a quick jump to No 1 and then you lose it again."
"This is a full-on process. That obviously takes a lot of sacrifice. For the time being, I'm willing to do all of that."
Although Djokovic has, unsurprisingly, failed to hit the same heights as in 2011, when he won three out of the four grand slam singles titles, this year has seen him retain his Australia Open crown and reach the finals of both the French and US Opens, losing the latter to Britain's Andy Murray.
Fatigue caught up with Djokovic in London last year and he suffered a shock loss to American Sam Querrey in Paris.
And the 25-year-old Djokovic said it was tough to be in peak shape at this stage of a long season.
"It is expected not to be always in your top form at this time of year," he said. "The effects of the long season can influence you physically and mentally but this is an important tournament and I definitely want to do well."

Brisket Question
I got a quick question, I bought a bunch of briskets, picked some out for comps, used them, and trimmed and froze the rest. I decided to take one out for practice, its been in the fridge for 3 days. It smells just fine, but the texture seems soft, down right almost mushy:shock:.
Still good to go?
How long was it in the freezer. If it smells god and it has only been 3 days I would say go for it, but right away.
if they don't smell, they should be fine. next time don't trim and freeze, freeze them whole if you can.
Did you wet age them for 40 days ?
Sorry to go against the grain, but if they don't seem perfect, I toss them. Not worth the risk as far as I'm concerned.
One the other hand with the mushiness, you could just be looking at cell damage to the meat from the freezing which would definitely affect the moisture in the meat when you smoke the briskets. The biggest key to look for (smell for) is a strong odor from the meat, If it is gamey, I would have a hard time serving them to humans.
Just my humble two cents...Good luck.
I'm with HarleyEarl on the cell damage part. When flesh freezes, the cytoplasm inside the cells expands and ruptures the cell walls. When it thaws, you lose a good deal of the stucture of the meat and much of the moisture will release into the spaces between the muscle fibers causing the "mushiness" you feel.
This happens more when the freezing process is slow. The faster the meat freezes, the less cell damage you will have.
That being said, it should still be good to eat as long as there's no detectable odor.
thanks guys, I end up throwing it away. I really gave it a good look this morning, and decided it was too mushy, and had some gray to it. it passed the sniff test just fine, but,,,,, just couldn't smoke it.
lesson learned, don't trim it, keep it in the cryovac!

I came across a sign to Sutliff 'historical site' on my long, meandering drive through the countryside surrounding Iowa City. An historical site? Well, of course I had to follow the sign and see what I could see.
What I saw was a rather elegant metal 3-arched bridge spanning the Cedar River. It's being restored at the moment, having been damaged in the very bad floods of 2008, so I couldn't get across it. But there are some lovely views up and down the river from the banks and, had I had time, a walk would have been good. But I didn't have time.
There was nothing on site to explain why the bridge mattered so I've had to do a bit of online research to find out why this place is on the National Registry of Historic Places.
This is what the bridge website....http://www.sutliffbridge.com/... says:
>The massive iron bridge was constructed in 1898 at the crossing of Sutliff's ferry, operated by Allan C. Sutliff. History has it that a sandbar formed in the river which eventually made the ferry unworkable. This caused a great deal of inconvenience for locals who would then have to travel many miles to the next crossing in order to get to the county seat in Iowa city.
In 1897 the contract for the bridge was awarded to J.R. Sheely & Co. of Des Moines, Iowa. The winning bid was a whopping $12,000. The bridge was completed and accepted by Johnson county in April of 1898, with dedication on June 3rd.
This was the first bridge to cross the Cedar at this location and proved an effective replacement of the Ferry service. The structure is a 827'x16'8" span wood trestle with a 27'x16' east approach. Upon its retirement in 1981, it was one of only a few remaining Parker trusses known in existence in Iowa.<
So there we go. It is certainly a very pleasant little spot and, if you happen to be driving around in the area, one which you might like to visit. There's a 'tavern' on site, open from 8am - 10pm....somewhere for lunch, perhaps?
- Pros:Nice bridge, nice river.
- Cons:Suspect it may be a busy spot at certain times.
- In a nutshell:Old Bridge over the Cedar River.

I cannot BELIEVE you found this place as it's really off the beaten! And I also have a shot of this bridge, pre-flood. See the photo of Hawkturkbird: "Friends more than Virtually" - Personal Page by goodfish. Yup, we were hanging out of the thing and drinking beers from the tavern.
Even funnier? You and my girlhood friend on the bridge have more than a passing resemblance. The Husband remarked as much after he'd first met you. Ooooooh.

By the end of next school year the Franklin school district wants more students passing standardized English and math tests and graduating from high school.
Franklin's current graduation rate is 85 percent, the lowest in Johnson County; and schools' ISTEP passing rates on math and English range from 67 percent to 90 percent.
At the high school, 77 percent of students recently passed the English end-of-course assessment exam, while 60 percent passed the Algebra I end-of-course assessment.
District leaders want to see all of those rates — ISTEP, end-of-course assessments and graduation — to hit at least 90 percent by the end of the 2013-14 school year.
Franklin's school improvement plans
What they are: Details for goals the school district wants to accomplish by the end of the 2013-14 school year
What they include: The goals are specific by school, but many of them include improving math and English passing rates to 90 percent.
Anything else: At the high school, the district wants to raise the graduation rate to 90 percent and have 25 percent of seniors taking and passing Advanced Placement exams.
To find out more: Go to http://fcsc.k12.in.us/Page/148. That's the Web page for the school board. Then scroll down to Strategic Plan Dashboard, where links to the individual school plans are listed.
"We know that all kids can learn. We know that all kids can do this," Superintendent David Clendening said.
Last year, Franklin created a strategic plan listing goals for success the school district planned to achieve within the next seven years. Those general goals included providing more opportunities for students, developing great teachers and communicating with parents.
What was missing were specific measuring sticks, ways to determine whether those goals were being accomplished each year.
This week the school district laid out those specific measurements, which lists specific goals for all Franklin schools.
All Franklin schools already create an annual school improvement plan, which details assessment scores and grades showing what subjects students have mastered and where improvement is needed. The schools used those plans to create the newer individual goals they'll meet between now and the end of 2014, Clendening said.
Teachers and principals from each building will review students' grades and test scores each quarter to see if the students understand what's being taught, or if they need to adjust their lessons so students can pass ISTEP or the end-of-course assessments.
For example, at the high school, if Algebra I teachers find during the second quarter that students are falling short of the goal, they'll need to find out why — Do teachers need to spend more time on a lesson or set of lessons? Are students having trouble focusing in class? Are any of the courses being taught too difficult or too easy?
Once teachers have the answers, they can make the necessary changes, Clendening said.
To improve the graduation rate, the high school needs to find more students who are at risk for dropping out and provide more ways to show them why graduating from high school is worth their time.
That could mean providing internships, such as at a tool-and-die shop or job-shadowing an airplane pilot, while also explaining why students need to finish high school and possibly get additional training to get those jobs, the superintendent said.
Clendening also wants Franklin to start preparing students in middle school for the kinds of Advanced Placement courses they'll be able to take in high school. He said he'd also like for the high school to expand the number of AP courses it offers, adding courses such as physics.
He said that he doesn't want to prioritize one set of goals over another but added that students' English and language arts skills need to improve to ensure they'll be able to succeed in other courses.
"If you can read and discern information, then you have a chance to do math, problem solve and take dual credit," he said. "With that you'll be able to graduate on time and enter the workforce or college."

Reviews for Texas Taco Dip Platter
"wow... 1 serving is 472 calories and 950 mg of sodium and 43 grams of carbs - no thanks! I will also be making this - but I will used sodium reduced of everything! great recipe... just TOO much sodium!"
"Don't change a thing."
"I've been making a dish like this for years, we call it "dinner nachos" because it's got meat, veggies and lots of cheese. The nice thing about it is that you can vary the ingredients to whatever is on hand or you're in the mood for. I use extra lean ground beef so I don't have to drain it. I've always thought it was silly to add onions, garlic and spices to ground beef and then drain away those flavors when the meat was done cooking."
"Added fresh roasted green chilies to the meat mixture as it simmered and fresh jap on top of the pile. I think salsa and maybe a dollop of sour cream on top would be good."
"Made this last night with a couple of substitutes. Instead of the tomato paste & puree, I just added a container of my favorite deli salsa to the meat. Definitely a hit at our house. Will be making it again!"

Teens talk about easing religious tension
About 75 Americans identify themselves as Christian, according to the U.S. Census. But hundreds of thousands of Americans practice other religions; the most popular of those are Judaism, Islam and Buddhism. About 15 percent more don't practice religion at all. How do religious minorities fit in to the fabric of our country? And what can be done to ease tensions among the faiths?
Why does religious intolerance exist?
"There are people that are intolerant of other religions because I think they think theirs is more right then others. ... A lot of the time it's because of the way they were raised." — Ali Williams, Yukon High School sophomore
"No matter how many times different views are explained, there are always going to be closed-minded people." — Jackie Kirk, Harding Charter Prep senior
"Some people believe that their religion — or lack thereof — is better than others. Also, some people don't like things that are different than what they are used to." — Alex Greenwood, Duncan High School junior
"People are too stubborn and don't want to listen to others because they feel that what they think is right and everyone else is wrong." — Reavis Hammond, Duncan High School junior
"Religious intolerance exists because of those who believe the rights of others aren't as important as their own, when the fact of the matter is it shouldn't matter what someone else's religion is." — Jonathon Lofton, Duncan High School senior
"I think some people are so stubborn, they think their way is right and nothing else is." — Brooklyn Scott, Duncan High School junior
"I believe that people have the need to fit in. They also have fear of the unknown. Since most people don't know about other religions, they tend to fear those people. Therefore, they show their intolerance for other religions so that they can mask their fear." — Sara Ishaq, Mercy School Institute freshman
"Religious intolerance exists because of a lack of education." — Luke Teague, Classen School of Advanced Studies freshman
"Religious intolerance exists because people tend to believe that they know the only way to find God. People forget that if a person finds God, they will find the truth, no matter what religion they are a part of." — Lucy Fitzmorris, Mount Saint Mary Catholic High School senior
Are high school students tolerant when it comes to other religions?
"Religious tolerance in high schools is definitely improving. ... High school students are now more aware and more informed about different faiths, which allows religious tolerance to flourish more and more everyday." — Nadia Enchassi, ASTEC Charter School senior
"Most high school students are tolerant of other religion. With social media, students interact more with other cultures and religion." — Annie Liu, Norman High School senior
"At first, people with another religion might stick out, but other students get used to it and eventually, over time, talk to them and realize they aren't much different from them in the first place." — Iqra Zahoor, Norman North junior
"I do not believe so. Some are though. Just depends on how they were raised. Most go with what their friends and family do and believe. Others have their own views." — Caitlyn Clark, Mustang High School senior
"A high schooler's tolerance depends on his/her upbringing." — Nour Kayali, a Classen School of Advanced Studies sophomore
"The majority is not (tolerant), because the younger society is very arrogant and ignorant when it comes to religion. This is because they are not supplied with all the information needed." — Yazan Salou, Dove Science Academy senior
"No, they are the harshest. They don't care whose feelings are hurt." — Alexis Graham, Moore High School junior
"From what I've seen, I don't think they really care unless they see someone wearing a big symbol of their religion or an article of clothing. When people see those, they kind of start talking." — Monica Morel, Edmond Santa Fe freshman
What can be done to promote tolerance?
"It's simple. We can help by changing ourselves first." — Jasmine Shafik, a Mercy School sophomore
"Spending more time on religious studies of the world in world history curriculum classes." — Fariyah Ahmad, Edmond Memorial High School senior
"Truly, I don't believe there is anything we can do." — Cannon Williams, Harding Charter Prep senior
"If there was an opportunity for people to learn about other religions and understand other people's way of life, then there will be more tolerance regarding religion. People will understand other people and respect them." — Sena Soylu, a Lawton High School sophomore
"There needs to be a realization that everyone is unique. Not everyone is going to believe the exact same thing as the next, but we can all coexist. If everyone was exactly the same, life would be boring, right?" — Taylor Casady, Duncan High School senior
"If someone believes something different than us, we listen." — Britton Scott, Duncan High School junior
"Students can either grow to like others that differ from them or not." — Tyler Bishop, Edmond Santa Fe junior

GMC 4905 - Newbie questions
March 22, 2009, 10:23:58 PM »
I consider myself to be educated and capable, but know very little about the mechanical nature of buses. I, like many of you, have a dream to convert a bus, but want to simple work on the interior and not the mechanical items, ie. drive train, transmission, air, etc. With this in mind let me show you what I have found and seek feedback from others who have done this. I have taken on a VW dune buggy and learned a great deal from this. Sold my sticks and twigs fleetwood wanna be bus and miss the available use of it, thus I am looking for something to make my own and put my own stamp of creation on it.
I have found a partially converted GMC 4905. Cant remember if they even gave me the year, but it has a auto transmission if that helps anyone. The owner states about 30k on a major rebuild - what is major - depends on the person I think. The oil has been changed by the owner every 2k miles - but no receipts or invoices to prove this. Not sure of the background of the seller - thus I am at the mercy of what they state.
I received the following from them:
"This bus is mechanically sound. There is a small amount of rust but is mostly aluminum so does not rust. We drove it for six years after the rebuild probably put 30,000 miles on it. My husband changed oil every 2000 miles. This bus runs great we just are not using it anymore."
As best I can tell from the other pics the interior is started but simply need to be finished. Plumbing for bathroom and kitchen is started and some cabinets are in place. The bedroom is nearly complete. Not sure if this roof is raised - it looks like it, but difficult for me to tell. I do not know what the mileage is on it. They are asking 10k.
Other than have it looked at a qualified mechanic, what other suggestions can you make? Assuming the mechanicals are all in good condition, what value would one place on this bus? What would be the going rate to have this checked out by a mechanic?
Thanks for your help and advice.

Anyone thats anal enough to actually change their oil every 2K on a bus will have the proof of it and i can't recall anyone ever selling a bus that hadn't had a major rebuild in the past 20K or 30K miles, thats listed as one of the mandatory claims to make, (it's on page 31 paragraph 3, right under 'only driven on sunday) 10K isn't a bad price for it if it gets the nod from a mechanic, it'll cost a couple hundred for a mechanic to go over it, make sure it's a bus mechanic and not a truck mechanic, draw an oil sample and have it analysised and then if the bus mechanic gives you the nod and the oil sample comes back good, then decide if you want the madness that come with turning over your bank account to a bus, then if it all still makes sence to you, then welcome to the associstion of tilted people and otherwise busnutty group, many here can tell you what a major rebuild costs, it's 10 to 20K or more to have a major rebuild done, I personally don't know of anyone that would invest that kind of money in one and then throw away or lose the paperwork, if I had one done that paper would be framed and hanging on the wall.

4104 and Cody, some folks change the oil when it shows a little darkening I have a friend that changes his every 3000 miles with the filter and I try to tell him he is wasting money but he likes clear oil and buys Delo in the 55 gal barrel and filters by the case good luck

I would only advise don't buy a bus that does not have a maintenance log with receipts. Ask me how I know.

Wow, Clifford, your right, I know some crazy people too lol, my oil starts turning dark as I get ready to pour it into the engine lol, but all the crazy people that I know that do that, carefully mark it down, date and mileage and the oil change, I just don't know of any that actually do that without marking it down on a clip board or someplace, generally the ones that are that diligent are also fanatics on recording it too.

I know nothing of GMC's, but it doesn't look too bad. I think it even has some solar panels on the roof, kinda hard to verify that though. I'm sure the experts will give to a detailed explanation on what to look for. The mechanicals are important to check out, like brakes, engine and trans. I'm sure there is lots of life in her, just have to empty the wallet and jump in with both feet and pray a lot!

There is a good deal of steel in a 4905 that you need to check condition of. The panels that surround the side windows, the panel that surrounds the small "D" windows behind the door and the driver's seat. Check the conditon of the floors. Pay attention to the torsion bars that hold up the baggage bays. They tend to be pulled down out of shape. Also look under the driver's seat side window. Pay close attention to the window frame here too - mine had really rusted out and caused the floor to rot. Also look in the electrical panel right there - check to see if the wires have rusted. The earlier models used cloth wiring - watch the condition of those! Where is the muffler on this model? Later models had them in the engine bay between the engine and the radiator - that's a good thing. Earlier models had the muffler under the floor toward the front of the bus. When these went bad, they could catch the floor on fire. Just make sure the condition is good if the muffler is there. It is a pretty expensive repair. Does this model have the retractable tag axle? It's removeable if it does. These are nice busses. I really enjoyed the super big bays. Good Luck!

Outwardly, it looks good.
I very much doubt the 2,000-mile oil change cycle, though. The 4905 drinks 7 GALLONS of oil each time. And, as has been mentioned, nearly everyone claims a recent overhaul. Have him start it, put it in gear and hold the brakes while putting his foot on the throttle, to see how much smoke there is.
You don't say what he's asking for it.
The auto trans cuts your mileage by as much as 40%.

BG6, what type automatic does the GM use that would lower your fuel mileage 40% doesn't work that way with a Allison 740 there is only about 1/2 to a 1 mile difference good luck

Being a P8M4905A owner my self perhaps I can add some input.
Looking at the photos I can see that some one has at one time changed the stock mirrors to the early GMC/MCI type.
Nothing wrong with that looks like a good up grade.
Chances are the transmission is a V730 and that is a good upgrade you can expect between 6.5 to 7.5 mpg on the road at speeds around 60 to 65 MPH.
This model GMC Coach has Sheppard steering from the factory where as the MCI equipment of this vintage still had power assist steering.
Parts for this coach are not that hard to locate.
You will find that the GMC coaches of this style are very easy to work on nothing is computer controlled and you can always get it back home with out to much effort.
Window glass windshields are interchangeable from left to right entrance door glass and drivers side window are the two glasses that might be sort of hard to locate if you have to replace them.
Perhaps you can post more photos of the engine and interior of the coach so we can give you advise from those photos.
As far as driving a P8M4905A it's a very stable coach good ride all the way around.
Also please post the VIN number I will tell you who bought it new from GMC.
Thanks jlv

Also, if you include your location in your signature (or profile), you might find one of us around the corner. I used to instruct on 4905's, (now own a 4107), they're a great coach. When you first drive one, pay attention to the turning radius.
I used to instruct new drivers to go by the corner, halfway down the next block, then think about turning the wheel. Stated differently by the owner of the company I worked for, if you turn with a 35 foot transit so the right rear wheel clears the curb by 6 inches, a 40 foot transit will hit the curb, and turning the same way with a deck and a half (buffalo to you westerners) will run the right rear wheel over the sidewalk. That said, I used to drive them in downtown Boston, with no problems.

Knowbody answered your question about the roof being raised. Maybe they will get back to it.
There were a couple alarm bells in here but they were not rung loudly enuf to suit me:
A "MAJOR" overhaul happens with the engine in the shop and out of the bus. That is an expensive deal and I think the 8V71 starts at $12K. An "In Frame" is accomplished with the engine still installed and involves less work that a Major and is a tad cheaper. Its a standing joke that all buses for sale have a freshly overhauled engine in them and some, though relatively few, actually have paperwork and receipts to back that up.
Oil changed every 2 thousand miles....not likely and barely possible. Here is what may actually be going on: Rule of thumb is to leave your dirty oil in the engine so the prospective owner can have the oil analyzed to determine if anything is seriously wrong and to access the age of the engine. Clean oil is a really bad sign and telling someone that you change it every 2K is a cover up story....possibly. At any rate you won't get much more info from having the oil analyzed than if you were to have some oil straight out of the can analyzed.
NO RUST means some rust. Some rust means?
You need to have a DD dealer put it on his dyno and have an "old Hand" 2 cycle go over the engine. Costs like $300 and can save you tons of grief and thousands of dollars or tens of thousands.
My instinct is to
from this deal. Or are they asking 6 grand and throwing in a drum of oil?
Good luck with this,

That bus does not have a raised roof. No worries there. Can you post pictures of the insides? In this market, 10K is probably too high. For a shell/partial shell, I'd stay closer to 6K. Let us know what you find out based on the advice we've given you. Look for bubbles in the paint around all of the windows - that's a sure sign of rust. Also look for rows of rivets that seem to dissapear where the panel continues. That's a good sign that there is body filler. Also, ask the seller about when the engine smokes, and how much oil it uses in 1k miles.

NORMAN — Oklahoma safety Tony Jefferson limped around the field for most of the game Saturday with his right foot in a gray air-cast boot.
Jefferson sprained his right ankle during the Sooners' 69-13 victory over Florida A&M.
Late in the first quarter, the Sooners' safety hobbled off the field, got his ankle taped and returned a play later. He walked off the field hurt again after that play.
That's when the trainers cut off the tape and began icing the ankle.
Sooners coach Bob Stoops and the trainers don't think the sprain is significant. They decided to put Jefferson in a boot and sit out the rest of the game.
It wasn't worth the risk, even if his family made the trip from the San Diego area to watch the junior in the Sooners home opener.
"If it was a tighter, tougher game he could have probably played," Stoops said, "but we didn't feel we needed to do that."
Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said Jefferson should be ready for their next game in two weeks.
"Tony has been playing well and he's disappointed," Mike Stoops said. "We anticipate him to be back (for Kansas State)."
When Jefferson left the game, the score was already 14-0 in OU's favor. That's when Mike Stoops looked to his second string, senior defensive back Jesse Paulsen.
Paulsen, a former walk-on from New Mexico, was actually busy checking to make sure Jefferson was okay.
"Keep your eyes on your guys." That's what Mike Stoops told Paulsen before he went into the game.
"It was my first time on defense, just getting used to the speed," Paulsen said. "It was a lot different. I feel like I did okay. I've got some stuff to work on."
Paulsen made three tackles, but a mistake late in the second quarter, when Paulsen was supposed to be covering deep. Paulsen left Demontre Hurst trying to catch Florida A&M's Travis Harvey. A 75-yard catch and run later, Harvey beat Hurst to the end zone.
"That touchdown was my fault," Paulsen said. "The rotation, I should have been high and I would have helped out Demontre. Just a mental block on my part." Before Saturday's game, Paulsen only had two assisted tackles in his OU career.
"Jesse's been doing an excellent job," Bob Stoops said. "Made some nice tackles, was where he was supposed to be all night, except for the one play. I'm not throwing him under the bus. He understands. He'll learn from it and get better."
