How I was treated by Dr Michael Black
by wizzle45 , 11/05/2014
I honestly would not reconmend Dr Michael Black, I feel as a proffessional he is suppose to be to his patience and not doing his job but acting towards me and quit suprise this person is a Dr in his proff\ession, Not a caring Dr when a patient comes to pay for a service and acts like a total jerk towards me. I hope no one visits this Dr i dont reconmend him a very bad Dr and I will consider changing drs cause of him.
not very nice
by awfullysupprised , 05/11/2012
I went to Dr.Dupay jr because my left knee that i had surgery on 4 yrs ago(surgery by a different doc)is now hurting every day not just once and a while like it use to.They took x rays said the bones look fine.but this doc was RUDE!!I Ive never walked out of a doctors office ever feeling so bad about the manner in wich that doc spoke to me.he said no need for an mri.what i told him was to non sepcific. just exercise more or he could give me a shot in the knee.Take Ibuprofin for the swelling.Maybe its just wearing down,maybe arthritis maybe im sitting a way thats causing it.I quit walking the dogs because it would make my leg hurt more but he says walk the dogs exercise.I asked him about how the more i do makes it hurt more then my ankle and foot hurt.ok .He didnt seem to like me asking him anything and made me feel like i was wasting his time.Ive never felt like this before with any other doc.So ill do what he says take ibuprofin 3x aday 600 mlgrmseach time and excersise more.When i decided to make this appointment it was because my leg was hurting so much and my family said i better take it easy on it and not damage it more.i took it easy leg hasnt been as bad but im going to do what Dr.Dupay says take ibuprphin and exercise.Hope it dosnt get worse.Although Dr Dupay was so rude!I would like to say the staff in the office was GREATThey do great wth paperwork and are very nice.But i wont be talking with mean old Dr.Dupay!!!not going there because he just makes you feel terrible and a wast of his time.for the swelling
Dr. Michael R. Black
by James Schroth , 03/22/2012
I was refered to Dr. Black and was very impressed with him on my very first visit!!! Dr. Black was so reasuring on what he said he would have to do to correct what was wrong with my feet. I was very pleased with the results of the surgery , and was pain free ! Thanks Dr. Black for my HAPPY FEET!!! James Schroth, Fort Myers , Florida.
Dr. Black - my hero!
by Debi , 07/14/2011
After extensive investigative research, I chose Dr. Black to perform my very complex foot surgery (total reconstructive surgery to correct my flat feet once and for all).  At first I was worried about his age, but was quickly won over by his credentials.  I was having trouble deciding between a podiatrist, because of the intense, undiluted knowledge of the foot and ankle or an orthopedic surgeon who focuses on state of the art surgical techniques. Dr. Black embodies the best of both worlds. I was impressed to learn that his specialty is podiatry, but he trained under orthopedic surgeons. He had a fellowship under the doctor who invented my surgery.  There are only five doctors in my home state who even attempt this surgery.  I traveled 1275 miles to Florida to ensure a positive outcome and returned 5 months later to have the surgery on the other foot. I am SO glad I did. Thanks to Dr. Black I will be able to walk pain free for the first time in my life. He is absolutely the best!!!
Dr. Black Highly Recommened
by Victoria RN , 06/08/2011
I am a surgical ICU nurse with 35 years of experience and also a legal nurse consulting specializing in medical malpractice cases. Believe me, I know the good doctors from the bad ones. My son was in a pickup football game and had a severe ankle dislocation/fracture of his right ankle. Dr Black was on call that day and I couldn't be more grateful. This injury could have left my son limping for the rest of his life, but instead he is now playing basketball again. It took 3 hours of surgery with rods and screws, but my son's leg is whole again. Unlike most physicians, that was not the end of things. Dr Black personally called several times post op to check on my son's progress. Dr Black followed up with him even after my son left for college. I would highly recommend Dr Black as a surgeon and as a person.
Dr. Black
by Joseph , 06/01/2011
When I found out that Dr. Black was going to be doing my surgery to repair my broken leg, I have to admit I was nervous at first. I had never heard of him, and he was a young doctor. I was very pleasantly surprised when he stepped into my hospital room. He thoroughly explained everything that was going to happen, not just for my surgery, but even after, and he was great with my family as well. I live about four hours from his office, and the city where my injury occurred, so I would have to travel back and forth for future appointments. As a college student, it is hard for me to work with the typical 9-4 work day of a doctor, but Dr. Black and his staff kept the office open late to ensure that I would be able to get in without missing class to make the drive down to Cape Coral. Today, almost four months out of the surgery, Dr. Black still makes periodic calls to see how I'm doing. He has great bedside manner and I highly recommend him as an orthopedic surgeon.
Dr. Black
by kpudlin , 06/01/2011
My fiance could not have had a better surgeon. Dr. Black not only walked us through everything that was going to happen in fixing his injury, he made sure that everything was perfect. We are college students and live about four hours away, and instead of asking us to miss class to make an appointment during his office hours, he and his staff have stayed late to make sure that we could be taken care of. I have never met a doctor who is so down to earth, and who cares so much about his patients, and makes you feel like your speaking to a friend instead of a doctor. Even to this day, almost 4 months after the initial surgery, he calls to make sure everything is going well. I would recommend Dr. Black to anyone, he truly is the best.
Dr. Black is a person not just a Dr.
by shannon , 06/01/2011
I have been a patient of Dr. Black's for 5 months I had an accident and ended up shattering my ankle. I had to have emergency surgery and Dr. Black explained everything to me since I have never had surgery before I was extremely nervouse. The surgery lasted longer than expected, however since I do not have any family in the area he called my Mother and Sister who live in NC when I was out of surgery this was 12:30am my Mother and Sister were very pleased to get the call to assure that I was out of surgery and doing fine, he went above and beyond to inform my family. As for his bedside manner he is great he listens to his patients and spends time with you, he is a Dr. that cares about his patients. I have recommended him to several friends.
Dr. Black
by lindaa , 05/24/2011
I could not have chosen a better doctor to do the extensive surgery on my foot. He has a wonderful bedside manner, and I felt very comfortable with him. He spent a lot of time with us before the surgery, explaining the procedures. He again spent much time with us at each check-up time. I have recommended him to many people in the area that we live in during the winter months.
Dr Black
by grandma with 4 prior surgeries , 05/11/2011
If you don't mind waiting over one hour for each visit, even with an empty waiting room, and then be told by Dr Black is the Best and that reading your chart would take an extra 15 minutes, and him not knowing that you had surgery and this is your thir visit, and you don't mind him suggesting a medication you have been taking for 6 years while he is still telling you he is the best, then go for it. Careful tho- his ego fills the room.

Salelavalu Tai Centre - Group 1
A SPBD staff member visited the village and conducted a preliminary meeting to orient them to microfinance. The first group of women attended four sessions of training and were assisted in drawing up their respective business plans. Most of the ladies have existing fishing activities. Their husbands and sons do the fishing, and the wives and daughters sell the fish in the Salelologa market, which is about 20 kilometers from the village. They are very hardworking ladies and they look forward to the loans from SPBD.
Additional Information
About SPBDSouth Pacific Business Development (SPBD) improves conditions for families living in poverty by providing accessible credit, training, and guidance to help them start, grow and maintain micro-businesses, build assets, finance home improvements, and afford to educate their children. 99% of SPBD's loans go to women, who can borrow in groups to guarantee one another rather than put up collateral.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We've munched on our share of marshmallows, but we can't say we've ever indulged in 'mallows as fancy as these ones ($24 for 16) from Wondermade. It's probably best to skip the s'mores with these and just eat 'em straight out of the box. Or maybe alongside a plate of chocolate-covered strawberries and a big bottle of bubbly?

New Zealand City Hit by More Earthquakes
Byline: MIKE JONES
A SERIES of strong earthquakes struck Christchurch, New Zealand, yesterday, rattling buildings, sending goods tumbling from shelves and prompting terrified Christmas shoppers to flee into the streets.
There was no tsunami alert issued and the city appeared to have been spared major damage.
One person was injured at a city mall and four people had to be rescued after being trapped by a rock fall, police said.
But there were no immediate reports of serious injuries or widespread damage in the city, which is still recovering from the devastating February earthquake that killed 182 people and destroyed much of the central city area.
The first 5.8-magnitude quake struck in the afternoon, 16 miles north of Christchurch and 2.5 miles deep, the US Geological Survey said. Minutes later, a 5.3-magnitude aftershock hit and about an hour after that, the city was shaken by another 5.8-magnitude temblor. Both aftershocks were less than three miles deep.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre did not issue an alert.
The city's airport was evacuated after the first quake and all city malls shut down as a precaution.
Warwick Isaacs, demolitions manager for the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, said most buildings had been evacuated "as an emergency measure".
The area has recorded more than 7,000 earthquakes since a magnitude-7 quake rocked the city on September 4 last year. That quake did not cause any deaths.
Rock falls had occurred in one area and there was liquefaction - when an earthquake forces underground water up through loose soil - in several places, Mr Isaacs told New Zealand's National Radio.
"There has been quite a lot of stuff falling out of cupboards, off shelves in shops and that sort of thing, again," he said. …

'Where to?" the cabbie asked.
Since I was running late to meet someone in the Old City, a place perpetually bewitching and confusing to me, it was worth my shelling out the extra moola to have a driver take me as close as possible to my destination without actually hitting the Western Wall.
Which is sadly kind of possible, considering they let cars drive in alleyways there that are barely big enough for a mule. A very skinny mule.
But this is actually a column about Obama.
Because as soon as the cabbie sniffed out my accent, he had a joke for me.
Which reminds me of something said to me during a five-hour date, which while long for a date, ended up being the shortest romance in the history of the universe. Most of that time we spent traversing Tel Aviv's underbelly in the wee hours of the morning.
Who knew so many people were up so late?
And not only up, but, this being Israel, also eating giant sandwiches.
"Azeh sandvich!" the tiny bar wench informed us when we admired the king-sized sandwich she was downing.
But that's not my point. Nor is my point that my "date," one of Israel's most notorious journalists, is such a wee little sprite himself that were he placed side by side next to one of those sandwiches, I'm not sure who would be bigger.
Which is exactly how I like my men: Bite-sized, wily and perpetually hungry.
No, the point is that he's a smoker. Who isn't in this country? Oh, me. But when in Rome, which is another way of saying, when on a date with the tiniest and most notorious Israeli journalist who wants to have himself a smoke in what appeared to be the "smokers room" of the bar, why not join him?
I'll spare you the details, but I felt like I had descended into Bosh's hell, minus the nakedness. The smoke, the strobe lights, the thumping techno music, the 20-somethings groping each other, and me, the American, in glasses, with my buttoned up coat and over-sized purse with my Kindle, in case I'm ever stranded and need to read. Oh, and my cigarette, which I could barely finish.
My date, however, had no trouble sucking his down to the very end, after which he tossed it to the floor and gave it a good stomp. This was alarming to me since, technically, we were still inside. And just as technically, everyone knows it's unacceptable to behave like that indoors!
Not wanting to disgrace myself, but still committed to my principles, I decided to gingerly place my lit cigarette on the floor and gently pat it out, like I was planting a tree in the Land of Israel.
Which prompted my little Alexander Pope to wryly observe, "You can take Abigail out of America, but you can't take America out of Abigail."
So true.
Now back to the cabbie, who was just about to tell me a joke.
I'll spare you the hilarity and instead will tell you the punch line.
"Obama didn't win Alabama."
The cabbie could barely deliver the line, he was laughing so hard.
"Don't you get it?" he asked, and repeated the punch line, which, besides being completely unfunny, only works if you have an Israeli accent.
You see, to an Israeli ear, Obama and Alabama sound exactly the same. (Oh-BOMB-ah and Ahl-AH-Bomb-ah.)
I tried teaching him a thing or two, but no matter how many times I demonstrated how Obama and Alabama are vastly different, all he could do was shrug.
The whole thing got me thinking about American politics. It's a funny thing to be so far away from home when the country is mired in what surely seems like an ugly Republican presidential race. But then again, I don't like Republicans. Or politics.
Or this ridiculous notion that only Republican presidents are "good" for Israel. That there is only one way to be "good" for Israel is in itself a fallacy, but what is so alarming is how it manifests itself in a very scary hatred of Obama. The kind of hatred that led the now infamous Atlanta Jewish Times publisher to write such vile words about assassinating him. Who even thinks something like that, let alone writes it?
Sadly, except for the lefties who are my natural allies on both sides of the Atlantic, most Israelis I encounter also dislike Obama, whom they refer to as Barack "Hussein" Obama.
So maybe it's actually good to be so far away as the country dukes it out over who is going to stand up as the Republican nominee.
All I know is no matter who it is, he doesn't have my vote. Not in this lifetime or in any lifetime to come.
Abigail Pickus column appears the first week of the month.

Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Abigail, if you would like some insight into why Israelis are uneasy with Obama, forget the cab drivers and read this piece by an intelligent and thoughtful writer, Yossi Klein HaLevi.
You may disagree with his analysis, but it has depth of thought and is written respectfully. There are intelligent people of good will who do not hate the president but differ with him on important issues. It is worth knowing what they think and why. The former publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times has nothing in common with them.
"All I know is no matter who it is, he doesn't have my vote. Not in this lifetime or in any lifetime to come."
Really, Abigail? You are an open-minded, pluralistic, liberal, compassionate person and you vote based ONLY on political party? Don't you have the brains to judge a man/woman on his/her own merritt? I think the cigarettes are clouding your journalistic skills. Try looking at people, look at what they stand for, not what party they register with.

Hope this is the right thread
What are your personal thoughts about using traded Pokemon? Obviously, there's no harmful disadvantages to trading, but people have their preferences.
What if you traded your own Pokemon back to yourself? For instance, you send a caught Pokemon to another DS/game, create a new game on yours, and then send it back. Technically they are yours but the game recognizes them as outsiders.
What do you think?

"One of the places where East meets West" Bad Salzungen by PeteNL
Bad Salzungen Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 3 photos
Bad Salzungen is an old spa in the west of Thüringen, close to the "death strip" that seperated eastern from western Germany. Nice old spa buildings are being or have recently been renovated, some of the bathhouses now bearing museums and "Kurhauses" often enough being restyled into conference buildings. But you can still get a curing and relaxing bath here too!

I'll see if I find the time to go there. Looks interesting!
Thanks for the tip on the Celtic Spa in Salzungen. Incidently the hills are potassium mine deposits, as you said, a career for some, an eyesore for others. Phillipstal has a mine you can visit.
This place looks interesting!

The Magic Kingdom fireworks show features classic Americana songs that are a part of many other fireworks shows seen around the United States that ends with the Star Spangled Banner National Anthem. Fireworks can be seen throughout the park but the best spot is going to be on Main Street USA with Cinderella Castle in the foreground. The fireworks begin each night at 9 pm.

The Writer's Top Ten
Ever dream of being a writer? Here are ten things I wish a more seasoned writer would have shared with me.
1. Writing really is a process.
Writing really is about the journey. Your challenge is to figure out the nature of your process and get into the flow of the work and tweak the process as necessary.
2. Write in the pockets.
Many aspiring writers assume that writing demands long stretches of uninterrupted time. If you wait for these uninterrupted periods, you will never write. Learn to write in the smaller pockets of time—ten minutes, half an hour, an hour and a half.
3. Never try to write and edit at the same time.
Get the words on the page then return and rework it. See Anne Lamott on the crappy first draft for an eloquent explanation.
4. Successful writing is revision.
Don't expect lyrical prose to flow out of your fingertips. Serious writers revise their way into beautiful sentences, paragraphs, pages, and chapters. Make several passes over the work so as not to overwhelm yourself. Read and tweak once for flow. Put the work aside, read, and refine another time for word choice. Put the work aside. You get what I mean. This is the kind of work you do in those smaller pockets of time
5. Perfectionism is the enemy of production.
In every phase of the writing process, avoid the trap of perfection. Don't bother striving for it. When you think you are finished, don't worry whether or not the work is perfect; instead, concern yourself with whether or not you find the work clearer and more compelling than in the previous draft.
6. You are the authority.
I attended a reading by Edward P. Jones, author of the brilliant novel The Known World. Someone asked him if he was led my some kind of muse. Jones explained that he had to give himself god-like authority to craft the story and its characters. My own agent told me another version of the same thing shortly after I began writing my memoir. Whether fiction or non-fiction, every author must conceive the story and give it shape. Shy away from this responsibility and your writing will feel and read like a mess.
7. Personal satisfaction facilitates good writing.
My own life has taught me that fundamental dissatisfaction, inner turmoil, and strife do not improve writing. If you are a person who has cultivated a deep awareness, then you can describe those emotional states in a compelling way without having to create them. Perspective is key because no can describe what they cannot acknowledge.
8. Learn to release the work.
This was by far the hardest lesson for me to learn. You will inevitably become too intimate with the work and trusted readers speed the writing process. Writers must entrust their work to other people to put books into production.
9. Never cheat your reader.
When you take shortcuts in the work, whether technical or emotional shortcuts, you alienate your readers and risk losing their trust. Do it enough times and they will stop reading your work.
10. A writer writes.
Talking about writing, dreaming about a writing life, filing papers, and sharpening pencils are never substitutes for writing. A writer makes her way to a completed page, draft, or manuscript one word at a time. Get started and enjoy the ride.

Archbishop John Nienstedt sends letter opposing free contraceptives law
In a letter made public yesterday, the Minnesota Catholic Conference, including Archbishop John Nienstedt, voiced opposition to the new federal health care mandate requiring insurance companies to cover birth control free of charge.
"While we support providing access to those services which can truly prevent disease or disability for women, such as pap smears and mammograms," the letter reads, "we join other persons of good will who strenuously object to mandatory coverage for contraceptives and sterilization procedures."
This is further evidence that all decisions about women's reproductive health should be made by old celibate men.
The letter was sent yesterday to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. In early August, Sebelius ruled that contraceptives fit the definition of "preventative care" and should be available without a copay. That means birth control is free starting August 2012.
While that was great news to women, the poor and health care advocates everywhere, the bishops have another interpretation. The letter complains that the rule treats "fertility and pregnancy as abnormal states in need of prevention" and forces religious health care providers and employers to act against their conscience.
Kathleen Sebelius
"Fertility is a gift that, exercised responsibly, allows society to prosper," the letter says. "Further, the Rule would also require taxpayers and providers to act against deeply-held convictions regarding the sanctity of life, as the promotion and provision of drugs like "Ella" (ulipristal acetate) and other abortifacient agents are enabled by this mandate."
"Ella" is actually an emergency contraceptive that is effective up to five days after unprotected sex. It is not considered an "abortifacient agent" nor does it cause abortions.
The letter calls for the mandate to be thrown out and is signed by Nienstedt, and the bishops of St. Cloud, Winona, New Ulm, Duluth and Crookston. They join a long list of Catholic institutions and archdiocese from around the country who've written similar opinions.
Linnea House, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota, is naturally displeased with the letter.
"Having the availability of birth control covered for women and for men is going to be a huge step forward," she says. "This is, again, the Catholic congress trying to insert their morality into the lives of Americans where they don't need to be."

Morning! Are we all ready for another day gossip and showbiz shenanigans? Then we'll begin. Last night was basically all about Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow, with a smidgen of Take That thrown in.
Gazza won the Music Industry Trust Award (it's pretty big time) and was given it by none other than Sir Elton John. The Take That lads were there to back up their main man and even performed with him.
Robbie Williams, who had been turning on the Christmas lights on Oxford Street then got up to sing his number one single Candy and Gary joined him, before the Take That lads joined in for Never Forget. We imagine there were swaying arms and lighters lit all round the room.
Nick Grimshaw would definitely NOT have been one of those in the audience though and hopefully there was no one there under the age of 29 either, because Robbie's not relevant to them apparently.
And it won't be long before Gary's not relevant to the X Factor - because he's privately agreed to leave after this series, paving way for the return of Simon Cowell. It's not clear whether he'll bring his new face along or not - he's like Worzel Gummidge these days - he's got a different head for every occasion.
It seems like there's not a week goes past when we don't get to see Kelly Brook's naked body, which obviously is a very good thing and we're not complaining at all. So without further ado, here's Kelly getting down and dirty in new TV series The Metal Hurlant Chronicles. You're welcome.
One Direction's Louis has basically said, 'come on then if you think you're 'ard enough' to The Wanted. No, really. Read all about it here.
It's the MTV EMA's on Sunday and the latest news is that Ludacris is going to premiere his new video for Rest of My Life, featuring Usher and David Guetta, on the red carpet. Kim Kardashian is also expected to attend the bash in Frankfurt, which Heidi Klum is hosting. The Hoff is reporting backstage for social media, which should be... um, alternative.
Oh dear. it doesn't look good for Lindsay Lohan. Again. Apparently she is going to be charged with lying to police - so say TMZ.com anyway.
It's over a car accident she had back in June, which resulted in the front of her Porsche being rearranged after it smashed into a truck.
Li-Lo denied she was behind the wheel, but that doesn't tally with witnesses, who reportedly claim she was.
Any new cop trouble will be very bad for her of course, because she's still on probation. If it goes back to court, she could end up in the slammer again. Oh well, at least orange suits her.
1D's Louis isn't the only one getting all 'stick 'em up' at the moment. While at the Christmas lights switch on last night, Robbie hit back at Radio 1's decision not to play his number one single, Candy. "Nothing's personal, it's not a vendetta against Robbie Williams," he said. "But they better not play Coldplay or Madonna or I'll break their legs."
You can take the man out of Stoke-On-Trent...
Some quotes from a Twilight press conference in LA seem to confirm that R-Pattz and Kristen are up for becoming parents... don't they?
"Dude, no. I can't wait to be a mom, but like, no. I can wait," Kristen said.
Rob added: "I actually quite like working with kids and I like working with animals, which everybody says you shouldn't do. Especially working with a baby is great. I would say, put a baby in every scene."
Kristen: "I think that [maternal instinct] might be something that you're born with or not born with. Some people have really, really strong natural instincts and desires to be a mom. That was one of my favorite things about the story. It was one aspect of [Bella] that I was really excited to play."
Yeah, we're no clearer either.
This makes us feel very uncomfortable.Kirstie Alley reckons she and Patrick Swayze fell in love while they were both married. He's dead now obviously so isn't around to defend himself to his wife Lisa, who cared for him as he was dying from cancer.
Kirstie's just gone down in our estimations - MASSIVELY.
Frankie Cocozza's video for his single She's Got A Motorcycle is here. And in the strangest news of the day - we don't hate it. In fact, it's pretty catchy, although he does remind us of the Artful Dodger a bit...
I'm A Celeb starts again on Sunday, so it's only right and proper that wehave a look back at our favourite bits from past shows. And when we say best bits, we mean boobs, obviously.
R Kelly has his own unique way of dealing with trouble at his concerts. When two women started scrapping at one recently, he sang for security. And then got a bit annoyed...
Celebs are going all political right now, what with that small event in America that is the US Presidential Campaign. Jay-Z, who has never made any secret of his total adoration for Barack Obama, last night changed the lyrics to a very famous track of his.
Performing at a campaign rally, Jay-Z rapped: "I got 99 problems but Mitt ain't one," referring to Obama's biggest rival Mitt Romney. He also sang / talked / rapped, whatever: "I kissed your sister then I kiss your mama/Usually this time of the day I'm in my pajamas/Well let's vote for the man who got Osama/Forward and away we go!"
It's possible to be cool and vote kids!
It sounds like R-Patz needs kissing lessons! In a new interview, he said he has a problem with being too noisy when he smooches K-Stew. We doubt she minds, she's just pleased to have him back...
Olly Murs is making us jealous with his pie chat at the moment. Hardly breaking news, but we do really like ham.
Wright's Pies in stoke is a dream!!! Gotta be done everytime I'm hear!! Chicken & ham slice with gravy!! Boom!!— Olly Murs (@ollyofficial) November 6, 2012
Maria Fowler fancies a flutter: "I am 10/1 winner to win I'm a celebrity get me out of here. Are there any bookies takin bets that I DON'T go in. As I would like I place one." See who IS going to the jungle here and then have a look at some bikini babes from previous years here.
5, 6, 7, 8... No Ella Henderson isn't learning to count, she's learning Steps lyrics this afternoon: "Having a cheeky listen to my @OfficialSteps signed album! X haha Love you guys!" she just Tweeted. Gary Barlow will be so proud.
Why thank you Heidi Klum. The very lovely model has just posted the picture below with this: "Fun look back @ the @VictoriasSecret fantasy bra over the years. Can't wait 2 c @AngelAlessandra walk in it this year!" Presumably it's a tease for the new collection and tease it most certainly is!
This testosterone oozing lot went Bingo Dating last night. It was the first event of its kind, hosted by Foxy Bingo, and involved matching daters to numbers, who then had three minutes to charm their knickers off.
We've got some insider goss from it too, because that's what we all love after all. Seems the ladies favourite was Olympic medalist Richard Hounslow apparently and um, none of them fancied themselves a bit of Arg, who flounced out in a huff! His flop may have something to do with him telling everyone he was still in love with Lydia.
But word has it he's been Tweeting one of the girls today - God loves a trier.
Miley Cyrus is going back into Two and a Half Men, because she was such a hit the first time. You can see her on Monday November 12 on Comedy Central at 9pm, looking very punky and more like Pink than ever.
Christmas is officially here - even though we say it isn't (we've only just done Halloween and Guy Fawkes!). Anyway, TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh is the Christmas fairy for B&Q, which at first we read as BBQ and thought she was promoting a new winter sausage griller, or something.
She's not. She's launching the store's new Xmas range. Having said that, we're sure they sell BBQs too...

thinking about maybe doing a build in a few months...
if so, can you provide your experience with the following included:
-drilling (ex. 20h, 24h, etc)
-tire model
-tire size and psi
-other wheels+tires you have used before

if so, can you provide your experience with the following included:

I own the A23 factory built (Comp Build) http://www.velocityusa.com/default.asp?contentID=749.
Comp Build:
24 spoke radial laced front
28 spoke 2 cross laced rear
DT Competition double butted spokes and DT brass nipples
Velocity race Hubs.
Nice solid wheels at 1580 grams, not super light but lighter than my previous wheelset, Aksiums. Riding Conti Grand prix 25mm. the wheel / tire combination is very smooth. I weigh 188 lbs and run 90/95 psi F/R. about 1000 miles and not a single wobble.
I also own a custom set built with Stan's Notubes alpha 340, cxrays, 24/28 F/R, velocity race hubs. not exactly apples to apples, the stan's no tubes set probably weighs under 1300 grams. Stan's is super quick accelerating, climbing wheels, but also not as wobble resistant, these wheels have been trued once and touched up one other time in the first 250 miles or s but they have stayed true for the last 400 miles or so. this wheel set is no where as smooth with same tube tire combo as the A23. Currently riding tubeless on the stan's and makes this wheelset noticeable smoother.
Very impressed with the strength and smooth ride of these A23 wheels. I will be converting to tubeless in the next week or two. Looking forward to the extra, extra smooth ride.
I've been riding a set of A23s with 24/28h for a year. They have held up well with the only truing required after a crash. Mine had a slight pulse from the seam for about the first 200 miles but it has smoothed out and is gone. I use them with 23mm GP4000s tires at 90/100 psi and I've weight 175-185 while I've had them. Zero pinch flats and I live in the frost heave zone and roads can be lousy. That is the same pressure I have been running 25mm tires on standard (19-20mm) rims. I don't know about the more aero or reduced RR claims, but I do find them to have better handling on rough surfaces especially in the corners. I have also gotten my best mileage from a GP4000s on the rear, but my test case so far is 1 tire so maybe I just got lucky.
I recently built up a second set of similar wheels using the bikehubstore wide rim: http://www.bikehubstore.com/category-s/162.htm but I haven't had a chance to ride them yet. In comparison my A23s averaged 445g while the BHS were 475g. The BHS has one of the tallest brake tracks I have seen on a road rim, but the A23's is not short so I don't know if that is a concern. The BHS rims do seem to have very well mated seams, and I actually have 2 pairs of them to look at. I'm guessing it's made by Kinlin but I don't know that. It also seems to be what is used in the Boyd Vitesse.
i like what im hearing...pics/porn?
I wanted some inexpensive but light weight everyday wheels and I wanted to try a wider rim.
I settled on A23's laced to Superlight Hubs (bikehubstore.com)
Sapim Laser spokes.
24 single cross front (not laced); 28 hole rear 2 cross both sides.
Black hubs & wheels, silver spokes, red alloy nipples.
I don't have scales but the advertised weight was about 1400 grams without skewers or tape.
With a few hundred miles on the wheels, I like them. The ride is real nice if I get the pressure right - I try to run about 95 psi front and 105 psi rear & weigh in about 177 lb. I've got 23 mm Michelin Lithion tires on them right now. These tires are a little heavier, but I like the way they ride and the price is good. I plan on going to Pro Race soon to take advantage of the lighter wheels.
oh, and those BHS rims looks pretty sweet. who makes them? kinlin???
I ride A23's as backups to my tubular Major Toms. Built both at 32h laced to 105 hubs for cyclocross. My tires choices are only going to be cross related. Sorry, no road information. As an aside, through two cross seasons, they have been bombproof and I've beat on them pretty good. I used the 32h drilling because of their use, not because of my weight. I'm only 155 pounds.
24-2x front
28-3x back
DT Comp spokes w/ brass nipples
Velocity Race hubs
Michelin Krylium Carbon 23mm tires 100psi-F 105psi-R
Plenty lightweight for an everyday wheel with a very solid feel. I've put ~3k miles on them in the past 5 months and they are going strong. I did have one pinch flat earlier this year, but that was from a direct hit on a chunk of concrete my leadout man didn't point out. The tube didn't like it but the wheel didn't even flinch.

The A23 set was originally built to go on my Waterford, but I also had just built up a budget aluminum racer and hadn't figured out wheels so I put them on. This spring I decided to build some wheels for the AL so I could put the A23s where they belong and came across the BHS rim. Since the wides were working well with the AL frame I decided to basically rebuild the same wheels but with cheaper hubs.
I have some PSIMET built 20/24s. Riding Conti 4000S 23s. I don't have a lot of miles on then but I do like them plus they're PSIMETs.
Litespeed, lasts a lifetime.
Specialized Tarmac, lasts a lifetime, or until it breaks.
"We're cyclists, not footballers." Vincenzo Nibali TdF 2015
I built them to be everyday wheels so if the extra weight gives me even smidge more durability I'll consider it worth it. And now I can see for myself how each of them hold up under my weight and on my roads.
That "BHS" rim is a Kinlin. Old news. I have built probably 700 kinlin builds. Great rim, but not a special rim to bhs.
As for A23's..... I like the rim a lot. Problem is you can't get them. I have had a backorder in since January and recently started switching all of my customers who ordered them over to Kinlins. Velocity moved plants to Florida. They say that it's an anodizers problem. Funny thing is that HED C2 rims have been out as well....for the same amount of time with the same "promise" dates that keep getting moved out the same amount. So....they are the same rim with a finish change/shot peening.
I was able to get my hands on a few under the new design. It seems that they have strengthened the web of the rim and made it UST compatible as promised. This will make the rim stronger (honestly it needed that), but the tradeoff will be a heavier rim. Don't expect to get a straight story on that either.
Right now Velocity is in my poop box - a 6 month back order that they spent the whole time saying "next week.....2 weeks tops"......on top of the fact that they simply aren't making any Major Toms "We won't even think of those until like July." which means with this fiasco that I won't see them in time for this cross season - putting my entire business at risk.
Oh...and Velocity wheelsets are not "factory made" per se. The sets are built by a spin off/separate crew that happens to share the same space with "Velocity USA" - not Velocity btw....but the US importers of Velocity rims. They (smartly so) decided that they should import hubs, have them branded and then make standard builds. The hubs are all the usual hubs - such as Novatech, Bitex, and the sets represent a good value for the $. I was able to spend a great deal of time talking to the guy heading it up while we were at Interbike last year. You could say they are a "competitor", but they were nice, and I can't really compete with them if they only build Velocity and Velocity doesn't fill my orders.....so.....
....can you tell I'm bitter...?
C2 is 24mm deep, A23 is 20. The A23 has a UST web now. Pinned joint. C2 is welded. The C2 is also peened. It's a nice rim. HED is in the wheel business though and not the rim business so their inventory will always be lacking. See "Mavic" as an example.
Some very informative discussion here. Thanks all!
Is the BHS/Kinlin rim pinned or welded? Mr. Psimet, in your professional opinion what are the tradeoffs between the two forms of manufacture?

I have two sets, both are;
-drilling 32 hole
-tire model Conti Grand Prix 700x24: 95 front and 110 psi rear, Vittoria Randonneur Hyper 700x32: 85 front and 90 psi rear.
-other wheels+tires you have used before: Mavic Open Pro
Great affordable wheels, the new standard.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
The A23s I owned were sleeved and bonded.

Skip to comments.Florida Woman Furious After SWAT Team Orders Her Out of Her Own Home During Standoff With Neighbor
Posted on 02/05/2014 1:28:03 PM PST by Nachum
A Jacksonville homeowner thought she may have been robbed Sunday, but realized instead her home had been altered by a SWAT team.
Deborah Franz was told to leave her home by police during a standoff with her neighbor over the weekend. According to WTEV-TV, Franz overheard loud fighting next door, and then saw SWAT team members swarm the street.
The cop goes You all need to leave, you cant be in your house, Franz told the station.
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
Billoting returns to the colonies...
"Make me."
unofficial martial law is here.
I was the first one that came in the door and I stopped I froze because I realized somebody had messed with my TV, Franz said. Her television and her game console had been moved and unplugged, her blinds were open on several windows, and blankets she had covering some walls were thrown on the floor.
Ehhh, quit complaining lady. At least they didn't drink up your beer.
Counselor Rosada must've slept through that portion of his 1st-year Civil Procedure class, if the article is correct.
and/or shoot your dog
Uhh..don't we have an amendment or two in the constitution about stuff like this?
Lock the doors and get into the basement or other hidey-hole.
Have nothing to do with the Stasi.
Do not make contact with them under any circumstances.
This would make a nice Third Amendment test case.
Don't you love how they even leave their mess behind? There was a similar case recently when they even went through the fridge, and if memory serves me right, they left it open.
Cops today have zero respect for anyone who isn't a cop.
The thing is, each time they do something like this establishes precedent for the next time.
It's Us against Them, and really, there aren't that many of Them.
She was fortunate that she didn't have a dog.
According to the story, the guy "SWAT" (standards must be lower these days) had surrounded got away!
This goes on and on with more and more abuses.
Want to stop it?
1) Mandate Civilian Review Boards.
2) Mandate residency requirement for all law enforcement - no more armies of occupation.
3) Replace all police chiefs with civilian directors of public safety who answer directly to the taxpayers and not the PBA and FOP.
4) End 20 and out. A life's pension for a life of service.
5) Mandate a civilian presence in each and every damn police academy class to monitor what these cretins are taught there.
6) End use of paramilitary training, equipment and tactics for dealing with run of the mill criminals. If they need a military presence, call in people who KNOW what they are doing - the National Guard.
In Indiana you can legally shoot them.
There's already one in the works from a case in Henderson, NV: local PD "requested" use of a home for surveillance of a neighbor and arrested the couple when they refused. Left the house a mess after eating the victim's food.
Frankly, if that were to happen to me, I believe that I'd have a medical episode and drop to the floor. "I think you gave me a heart attack!" "I can't breath!" "Call 911" "Don't touch me! It hurts so bad!" "Call the Amberlamps!" and so on.
These Cops ain`t too smart coz they LIVE IN HOUSES, too.
The Indiana law wouldn't really apply here. More to the point, they can legally shoot you regardless, and would. Not a smart idea to take on a SWAT team. probably a better idea to suffer from "emotional distress."
"Cops today have zero respect for anyone who isnt a cop."
BINGO. We got the cop in this county that killed the father in the Wesley Chapel theatre. Case coming up and I have jury duty coming up too.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.....
Frankly, if that were to happen to me, I believe that Id have a medical episode and drop to the floor.

Great advice...
even when involved in a shooting...at least claim you are under stress but 'keep your wits about you' long enough to say "If you are going to read me my rights, you can skip down to the part where you say 'If you desire a lawyer, one will be provided etc etc'
"Even so, you do NOT have permission to search me or my vehicle and I will option to remain silent until I am properly represented".
THEN you can go into 'shock'.
Thank you Officer.
Then take your beating like a man...hopefully recorded etc..
Another part of the Bill of Rights down the toilet.
In reality, I can only think of one thing that would stop things like this from happening...
That is an explicit threat that if you are on that jury, you found him guilty already.
Regardless of what you feel about a case, what you think about the facts of the case as a juror should drive your decision.
Just a thought. . .other may feel differently.
Does the Third Amendment apply to local law enforcement?
Interesting question.
I think the Fourth Amendment has more applicability here.
" family that had their doors knocked down by a local SWAT team serving a search warrant."
but they love kickin in doors ! It's fun! Some of them utilize martial arts side kicks , some learned forcible entry while in the Service and this is the only time they get to practice .
and amazingly most folks in the US never take the time to 'harden their doors' , so a simple quick ,well placed kick is all it takes . harden your doors folks . Add steel to the entire framework and back up the dead bolts with steel plate , set those hinge inside .
Oh , I forget they can always just bring along a breaching shotgun .
End of this month I am one of just a couple of civilian volunteers to audit a police academy class. The public relations division is asking if we can find others that want to audit other classes. . .they run adverts in the local paper, run spots on the radio. . .hardly anybody asks.
Oh, number 3 is a little odd to me. The police chiefs answer to the City Manager or Mayor. Adding a civilian "chief" would mean the guy would be answering to the same City Manager of Mayor.
Something must change.
Feh...get their names, find their homes. Visit them at night. Some of the founding fathers did such and many problems were solved.
Same here, FRiend.
Yup. I remember that.
THAT was an execution.
They unplugged the TV and game console because they both can be used to see or hear what's going on in the room.
And there were those on this forum that defended the police for killing him.
I saw some steel doors when I was in Europe which a breaching shotgun would have a hard time with. Wood over steel with multiple bolts.
i'm pretty certain this exact situation is expressly forbidden in the Constitution
assuming anyone bothers to read it anymore
Such visits might not be the wisest of things, especially if they know they're likely to get threats.
Based on that, such action leaves a lot of opportunity for it to backfire. One wrong move or misinterpretation, and it'd put you on the wrong side of the law(whether or not you were right to do so).
To each their own, but there's doing it the tough way and there's doing it the smart way.
And it will be sent to every cop school in the country to show that it was justified and acceptable.
Water impulse charges would make short work of that.
Jus' sayin'
The 30+ million illegals and their extended families won't even bat an eye at this stuff either.
Fighting next door?
No weapons mentioned?
And this required a military style commando swat team response?
Case coming up and I have jury duty coming up too.
"That is an explicit threat that if you are on that jury, you found him guilty already."
I did see any explicit threat from the poster.
"Its Us against Them, and really, there arent that many of Them."
I just wonder how they'd really handle a real uprising like what apparently happened in Ukraine I think it was.
Look at how they reacted to just one man, Dorner. Thousands of cops pissing and crapping themselves over one man, and their individual odds of being the one that met him were lower than Lotto odds.
Nor is that the only example about police 'courage'.
Cops left their courage behind, along with their ability to see others as real people. Now they are just machines who's only concern that is greater than serving their pay master is avoiding any risk possible. Push comes to shove, they'll climb in a hole and put their own children in front of them as shields.
I didn't leave anyone with the idea that I have respect for cops, did I?

In 2005, Gwantwa established her fish business. Gwantwa needs a loan to buy addiitonal stocks of a small local fish called a "dagaa," which is similar to an anchovy. It is dried, sold in cans, and is traditionally added to soups and stews. She thanks you for your support.
SELFINA is engaged in the economic empowerment of women in Tanzania through the provision of a leasing and leaseback microfinance facility, as a practical way to achieve the economic and social emancipation of women.
SELFINA has taken a lead role as a pioneer of micro-credit in Tanzania through Micro-Leasing. Customs and traditions in Tanzania normally make it difficult for women to own land and assets, thus they are termed not-creditworthy by financial institutions as they lack tangible collateral assets. This leads to poor financial support hence poor access to basic needs and services for women with low incomes.
SELFINA buys and leases equipment to women. Where a client needs working capital SELFINA buys equipment from said client, extending a loan to her, then leasing back the same equipment – a process called a sale and leaseback arrangement.

Moody's upgrades Brunswick ratings
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Brunswick Corp.'s ratings, citing steady improvement in the company's operating performance and credit metrics.
Brunswick Corp.'s boat group consists of 15 brands worldwide, including Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Brunswick Commercial and Government Products, Crestliner, Cypress Cay, Harris FloteBote, Lowe, Lund, Meridian, Princecraft and Sea Ray. The group's additional four brands — Rayglass, Uttern, Valiant and Quicksilver — are marketed in countries other than the United States.
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Brunswick Corp.'s ratings, citing steady improvement in the company's operating performance and credit metrics.
Brunswick Corp. acquired water movement and heating systems manufacturer Whale, a move the company had hinted at in its attempt to further grow the parts and accessories arm of its marine group.
Brunswick Corp. is "one of the most attractive risk/reward profiles" among the leisure companies covered by Wells Fargo analysts and testing is taking place now for sterndrives built in-house that are due out later this year.
The recent appointment of Mark Schwabero to the newly created post of president and COO of Brunswick Corp. is part of a long-term succession program that will allow CEO Dusty McCoy to retire in 2016.
Brunswick Corp. chairman and CEO Dustan E. McCoy will present at the 15th annual B. Riley & Co. investor conference May 21 at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel in California.
Brunswick Corp. said today that Mark Schwabero was elected to the newly created post of president and chief operating officer and Brunswick Boat Group president Andy Graves will be leaving the company.
Brunswick Corp. CEO Dustan E. McCoy and CFO Bill Metzger had one word for analysts and investors listening in to first-quarter earnings calls Thursday — weather.
Net sales dropped 3 percent in the first quarter at Brunswick Corp., from $995.3 million in 2013 to $969.2 million this year.
Despite being off on estimates that Brunswick's boat business would begin earning money in 2013, the company projects that the segment will go from losing money to being in the black in 2014, with CEO Dustan E. McCoy predicting operating margins between 4 and 6 percent this year.
Brunswick Corp. CEO Dustan E. McCoy is projecting that the company's boat business will become profitable for the first time in two years and he responded to a question he often gets: "Why is Brunswick in the boat business?"

Just thinking in public about my next folder. Sometimes it helps to write it down. Nothing terribly new here, but feel free to comment.
Already have a Dahon Speed P8 (spare folder), BF Crusoe (light touring, general road riding, bike to pack on airplanes), BF Pocket Tourist (main commuting bike), Raleigh Twenty with SA 5 speed hub (just wanted one ).
So it's kind of self indulgent to get another, but what the heck. I'd like a truly "take anywhere" folder, the kind that's really simple to take inside any building without hassles, even if it needs to be bagged first. Don't need quite the gearing range I have on other bikes, but need to be able to get up some hills. Want to have some good option for carrying moderate loads, like maybe 15-20 lb. of groceries, on the bike.
So right now, I'm thinking of Downtube mini, Brompton, C, M, or S type. And I'd like to wait to get full particulars on the Dahon Curve SL.
No point in making detailed evaluations on the Curve, since we still only have limited information on it. One advantage of waiting to learn more is that it keeps me from making any decision too soon.
Brompton advantages: Steel frame is a plus for me, although not decisive. Proven smallest and neatest fold. Has been around long enough to have a track record for quality. Good front mounted luggage system. Disadvantages: expensive. At 5' 7", it seems that the M type bars would be high for me, about 3 or 3½ inches above the saddle. Yes, some people like them that high. I am aware that people even shorter than I ride them. S type bars probably about right, but still not adjustable. Gearing options I'd want would be more expensive. C type, not sure about the brakes, and also has those high bars. All Bromptons, some proprietary parts.
Mini advantages. Less expensive. Wider gearing range, although maybe wider than I would actually need for the intended usage. Few proprietary components. Big cheering section on this forum. Disadvantages: Less of a track record. Very little chance of getting a test ride, even less than with most Dahons. Aluminum frame. Some components lesser quality perhaps, like BB, headset, and front hub. Fixed height bars, although some people have modified these. Larger folded size than Brompton with chain on outside (am I wrong on this?). Less sure about how I'd carry loads. I've seen that recent picture of one with a rear rack, but how does that affect the fold?
By the way, concerning fixed height bars that are "too high", I do understand that if I'm not hammering on long road rides, this is less important. If I can get the energy and time to visit some NY Brompton dealer for a test ride, I can get a better idea on this . However, the highest I have the bars on any of my bikes is roughly level with the saddle, and I have them about 1½ inches below the saddle on bikes with drop bars.

The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream softens and lifts the beard for a close and comfortable shave, and protects the skin from irritation and razor burn. Rich with glycerin, coconut oil and essential oils, the Shaving Cream leaves your skin smooth and moisturized. It can be lathered up with a Shaving Brush or with fingers.
The Art of Shaving products are Aromatherapy-based , scented with 100% pure essential oils selected for their therapeutic skin properties and specifically blended for a variety of skin types.
Both my boyfriend and I love this scent and shaving cream! The lemon is so perfect for summer. I love this refreshing scent so much! We find it very emoillent and refreshing to use. It leaves the skin smooth and prevents ingrown hairs. A little goes a long way as well! Definitely recommend!
My boyfriend has been using this product for about a year now. I had never used it, much less knew if it mattered or not whether a man used it on his face before he shaved. As far as I was concerned, a little soap was just as good. I watched him apply it to his face and saw how VERY little lathered up to so much! I one day asked If I could use the Woman's version for shaving legs and I noticed a BIG difference in the smoothness and feel of my legs! When my boyfriend used his, I noticed how soft and silky his skin felt- plus the smell was not overwhelming whatsoever. Since then, I have not been able to use any other product and neither has my boyfriend. It is absolutely something that makes one heck of a difference!
This is a nice scent to wake up to. The best shave cream I have ever used... make sure to use the badger hair brush.
For best results, shave while or after showering. Using hot water, lather up The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream with a Shaving Brush or fingers and shave with the grain, following the growth direction of whiskers. For an even closer shave, repeat lathering process and shave lightly against or across the grain. Rinse with cold water, pat dry and apply After-Shave Balm or Gel.
Shaving Tips:

Photos From Today's B-Game
Here are some photos of the pitchers in today's B-game at Pirate City:
Chris Leroux
Daniel Cabrera
Duke Welker
Evan Meek
Mike Crotta
Scott Baker
The only other time I took a picture of an opposing starter was when I took a picture of Edwin Jackson at PNC Park last year. The Pirates then went after him this off-season with a three year, $30 M deal. I like Scott Baker, and think he's a very under-rated pitcher, so I snapped the photo above. Maybe the trend will continue, only with the Pirates landing the pitcher this time around....

Fitness Programs That Fit
Personal Trainers, Videos, Can Get You Going On Your Own Fitness Program
By Jeanie Lerche Davis
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
Just do it, we hear. Do what?, we whine. Getting off your you-know-what is a tough hurdle. Even exercise experts admit fitness programs can be boring. Here's their advice for starting a fitness program -- and sticking with it.
Before you start, get real with yourself, says Gregory Florez, a personal trainer and spokesman for the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
"Look yourself in the mirror. If you can't picture yourself getting on that treadmill or stationary bike or going to that fitness club three times a week, don't do it," he tells WebMD. "Don't buy machines you aren't going to use. Don't join a gym if you're not going to feel comfortable going."
Then, get some professional advice on fitness programs, he advises. "You must have a plan that takes into consideration not only your goals but also your barriers, both real and perceived. Even if you are on a limited budget, you should get some beginning advice from a certified personal trainer." The cost ranges from $35 to $100 per hourly session.
No way, you say? Then find a few good videos on fitness programs, Florez suggests. There are lots of them out there.
Core Curriculum
Aerobics, strength training, flexibility/balance training -- these are the components of any good fitness program, for people at any age and fitness level, explains Sal Fichera, MS, an exercise physiologist in New York City and also an ACE spokesman.

What are the pros? Pretty flowers
What are the cons? No pods
I hate to write a not so nice review but my vines flowered but are not producing pods. Possibly the heat, but I was expecting a little more. Probably will try to plant a little earlier next year.

What are the pros? beautiful flowers, long vines
What are the cons? can't complain
I grew three types of runner beans this spring, Barnside Sweet, Sunset, and Painted Lady. I had some trouble getting all three going, but this was due to my lack of experience and can't be blamed on the beans. I have about 40 painted ladies, and they started producing flowers fairly quickly, some of the flowers being more distinctive than others. I had some that were almost completely red, and others that had the signature coloring, with a center so pale that it was almost white. All were beautiful. It gets very hot in the Phoenix area where I live, and though I water my plants twice a day, I have a feeling that they have been drying out a bit. Out of all my runner bean plants (80 total) I have only one bean, and it is on a very small painted lady that decided to fruit instead of run. Since it reached over 100 degrees a few weeks ago, they have all stopped flowering. I probably should have sewn them earlier than I did. I will plant more for the fall though, and expect better results.

What are the pros? Delicious, impressive red flow
What are the cons? Late to pod, not prolific
I grew this variety last year as ornamentation. I ended up cooking the beans and wow, what a great taste with only a little salt. I saved a few beans to plant this year. I ate too many and need to buy another seed packet this year. The plants are not overly prolific so I am giving the seeds only a 4 star.I live in the middle of the state so the climate is fairly mild, not super hot in the summer.

What are the pros? easy, pretty, edible
What are the cons? Not as expected
I expected to love these as much as the scarlet runners. I didn't. The flowers are not as brilliant, and the pods took slightly longer to produce with a lesser yield. That said, they worked out fine, and were lovely from bottom to top, and six seeds produced many dishes for our small family (four kids, but they're little ).

What are the pros? my wife loves it
What are the cons? none
I really like this plant for the simple fact that it is both ornamental and practical. The flowers range from pink with white stripes to red and the hummingbirds love them. Often I will come out in the morning to find at least one hummingbird hovering in front of my trellises. Which has an added appeal for my wife who generally does not care for vegetable plants. Moreover, she also loves the beautiful flowers that seem to stretch out from the plants. As for the mottled beans, they are pretty tasty. We were able to harvest quite a number of pods for both replanting and eating.

Quincy, Florida - August 10, 2011 -
QPD Release:
Over the past week the Quincy Police Department responded to an increased number of auto burglaries. Most of the burglaries occurred in the historical neighborhoods of Burmah Heights and Lick Skillet. Suspects appear to have canvassed these residential areas after dark checking driveways for unlocked vehicles. Those vehicles found to be unlocked were rummaged through and valuables such as wallets, cash, firearms and cell phones were taken.
On Tuesday, August 9th Investigators with the QPD Criminal Investigation Division were able to take five teenagers into custody and charge them with these crimes. The teens range in age from 13-15 and all reside in Quincy.
To prevent becoming the victim of an auto burglary residents are reminded of the following tips:
• Lock your vehicle or "Lock It Before You Leave It".
• Never leave valuables such as laptops, cell phones, wallets or firearms in a car in plain view of a criminal.
• All valuables should be removed from your vehicle and placed in the trunk or taken inside your home and special care should always be taken to properly secure firearms.
