Description And Comments
The Tree of Life, apart from its size, is quite a work of art—we think it's the most visually compelling structure in any Disney park. Although from afar it's certainly magnificent and imposing, it's not until you examine the tree at close range that you truly appreciate its rich detail. What appears to be ancient gnarled bark is, in fact, hundreds of carvings depicting all manner of wildlife, each integrated seamlessly into the trunk, roots, and limbs of the tree. New "roots" were added to the tree in 2015, including crocodile and ram's head carvings. Look for these along the Discovery Island walkway to Africa, on the front left side of the tree.
In sharp contrast to the grandeur of the tree is the subject of the attraction housed within its trunk. Called It's Tough to Be a Bug!, this humorous 3-D presentation is about the difficulties of being a very small creature. Contrasting with the relatively serious tone of Disney's Animal Kingdom in general, It's Tough to Be a Bug! stands virtually alone in providing some much-needed levity and whimsy. The show is similar to Mickey's PhilharMagic at the Magic Kingdom in that it combines a 3-D film with an arsenal of tactile and visual special effects. We rate Bug as not to be missed.
Touring Tips
- This attraction offers FastPass+.
- Open for Morning Extra Magic Hour.
It's Tough to Be a Bug is rarely crowded even on the busiest days. Go in the morning after Kilimanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest, and DINOSAUR. If you miss the Bug in the morning, try again in the late afternoon.
Note that It's Tough to Be a Bug! is very intense and the special effects will do a number on guests of all ages who are squeamish about insects. A mother of two from Williamsville, New York, shared this experience:
It's Tough to Be a Bug! was my girls' first Disney experience, and almost their last. The storyline was nebulous and difficult to follow—all they were aware of was the torture of sitting in a darkened theater being overrun with bugs. A constant stream of parents headed to the exits with terrorized children. Those who were left behind were screaming and crying as well. The 11-yearold refused to talk for 20 minutes after the fiasco, and the 3½-year-old wanted to go home—not back to the hotel, but home.
Most readers, however, loved the bugs, including this mom from Brentwood, Tennessee:
Comments from your readers make It's Tough to Be a Bug! sound worse than Stitch's Great Escape! It's not. It's intense, but mostly funny. The bugs are cartoonlike instead of realistic and icky, so I can't understand what all the fuss is about. Disney has conditioned us to think of rodents as cute, so kids think nothing of walking up to a mouse the size of a porta-john but go nuts over some cartoon bugs. Get a grip!
It's Tough to Be a Bug! Wait Times
This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for It's Tough to Be a Bug! when you visit on a day with a given Disney's Animal Kingdom Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times). Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see It's Tough to Be a Bug! Wait Times.

On EAR078 we have the first release of a man named Francesco Stablum. Living in Amsterdam, but with Italian roots. This Apnea EP is a very powerful ambient/chill out release with some breakbeats, high-rated melodies, beautiful soundscapes and trancy cosmic sounds. Some of the tracks remind us on some of the hypnotical releases of Cosmic Baby (Berlin, early 90's). Also we can hear a atmospheric drum and base track.This fits in any chillout room, loungecafe or whatsoever. Lay back and enjoy.

How can I boost my progesterone without a prescription?
I have needed to take progesterone supplements to keep both of my successful pregnancies (provera with one and prometrium with the other), and have miscarried each time without it (at least 3x). I don't have a prescription for any now, and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get strong enough progesterone without a prescription. I have tried the cream from GNC, but it seems worthless. I have heard of suppositories, but haven't seen any. Any help is appreciated. TIA

Hotel refused to refund me after having to switch hotels. Took third party booking company a week to win me the refund.
Location. We wanted to get out of the Boston area. Price was appropriate.
Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Terrible night's sleep.
The room was modern, very clean, and the bed and shower were good.
The room was supposed to be non-smoking but wasn't. My eyes watered, and the smell was overpowering. There wasn't decaffeinated coffee as an option in the morning.
Arrived midnight with small kids. Told hotel/ Internet had overbooked!!! All places around sold out. Ended up sleeping in car at rest stop. Never again will we use this site!!!
Clean, comfy room. Nothing special but average.
Small and limited towels
Quick access to room, Location convenient to highway and to food, staff friendly, cost acceptable, TV good.
Radiant Heating along ceiling...Heat didn't really get down to bed-level or floor level. Noisy bathroom vent fan. Would have liked hair-dryer in room.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Gov. Jesse Ventura said Wednesday he supports legalizing marijuana for medical use.
''Medical marijuana? I fully support it, absolutely. Who is government to tell someone if they have AIDS or cancer, what they should be taking?'' Ventura said in response to a question from a student at University of St. Thomas.
Ventura has said he has smoked marijuana. On Tuesday, he said his mother used a mix of narcotics to ease pain from an illness, and that he approved of marijuana if it was used to relieve pain in others.
''To me, you've got a kid here with cancer,'' he said. ''I don't give a damn if he smokes a joint.''
A bill before the Minnesota Legislature this year would appropriate $100,000 to study potential medicinal uses of marijuana.

First Look at China Latina, Now Serving Wonton Tacos in Flatiron
The restaurant has an outdoor garden.
Chef Julieta Ballesteros of Crema is combining Latin American and Asian flavor profiles at this new 90-seat restaurant at the Hotel Indigo. As such, the steamed dumplings are filled with chorizo, the tacos are composed like wontons, and that margarita is flavored with lychee puree. China Latina's chow fun is fried with Mexican huitlacoche, and its "burritos" bear more than a passing resemblance to sushi rolls. The dining room is filled with paper umbrellas and fresh flowers, and the restaurant includes an outdoor garden and rooftop bar.

I was considering starting Levi this week on writing his own name on his valentines. I figure by Vday he'd be done with the 20 or so he has to write if we do a few each day. Will your child write their own or will you do it for them?

Anna will write hers this year. She might actually be able to write Susanna...we're almost there...the "u" ends up upside-down and the 2nd "s" sometimes gets left out.
I'll probably write out the classroom kids' names and then have the boys put J & K on the bottom. That's what I did for Christmas. They really don't have the fine motor skill to write small on the card to get their whole names on it.
FTM to twins 2008
Yep, both my boys will be signing their own Valentine's this year. I am planning on getting some this weekend and having them sign a few every day so it won't take so long (their are 18 kids in their class). Xavier still writes his V's upside down and Octavian still writes his little A's like Q's but they are doing really well with writing so I think they can do it.

Oliver will sign his name on them and help me pick them out.

Nope, my daughter can't write her own name yet-- she seems to be VERY hard on herself and rarely even wants to try. She just asks us to do it for her.
She does help decorate the cards with stickers, etc, though and I encourage her to try to sign her name or write a little note (i.e. scribbles) to her classmates. I'm lucky if she'll do that, though.

When I ask myself "What would Jesus do?", I'm almost entirely assured he would not publicly deface anyone on their facebook wall. -- goose 1128
Yes, we have been doing this for a while now.
We will hopefully be starting this weekend! There are 11 kids in her class, which shouldn't be too bad. In the past I have always signed 'Anna' for DD, and she has been in charge of decorating the valentines with various stickers and stamps. I like the idea of her starting to sign at least some of the valentines herself. It's a good way for her to have practice writing out her name, especially since she never wants to do any handwriting activities at school or at home!
Mom to Anna 12/3/2008 & Max 6/20/2012
To piggyback on the question - does your LO write their name from the memory (ie. knows how to write their name) or copies the name when somebody had written it for them (ie. parent wrote the example)

It's a mystery to me too!Originally Posted by Trekke
Well it sounds like if wireless is something you feel you need, the cateye is the way to go. But to me, it still sounds like unnecessary complication and cost for marginal benefit.. But hey, good to know that there is a quality wireless on the market for those who need it.
This thread is very informative. I have been thinking of switching to wireless for sometime and got pretty much everything about wireless, cons and pros.
If the cost of replacement battery is stopping you from switching to wireless, here's a site selling them very cheap.
5 pieces for $1.95
50 pieces for $14.95 (shipping cost, $5.47 either way)

What wireless units do cadence?
This is cycling advocacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1d1gaRQ2ZM
So is this: http://www.railstotrails.org/resourc...A_20081020.pdf
Really is not near as complicated as maintaining the wire between the pickup and computer input.Originally Posted by phidauex
That's what I was going to say. Actually, what could be simpler - the main unit, the sensor, the magnet - that's it. No wires.Originally Posted by Trekke
Exactly. Think of it in non bike terms such as the wireless phone in your home, your cell phone, remote control. Wireless makes life much less complicated. That applies to biking too.Originally Posted by Wurm
I find too much wireless stuff starts to interfere with each other (gps and xm radio cancel out each other's signals and sometime effect the hrm) Go wired.
So what your saying is wireless is so much simpler.Originally Posted by Wurm
But with a wired unit you save original purchase and not risks the chance of interference problems were you will constanly get stressed over until you buy a new computer even more money. All to save a one time 5 minutes of install, if takes longer than that you should have your LBS do it for you.
And when the power goes out you have no phone. Now thats less complicated.Originally Posted by Trekke
And how many times to I have to repeat the fact that the new Cateye Micro's DO NOT GET INTERFERENCE? You can believe that or not, but it has honestly been my experience with the unit thus far.Originally Posted by clausen
If the Micro WAS having the same old problems as other wireless units I've had in the past I would have said so, and I wouldn't be using it now. But it really is an awesome cyclo-comp, so it's staying on my rig until/unless it isn't.
I can believe that your Cateye does not get interference in your application. I can also believe that it could get interference in some else's application. A sample of one is not conclusive. Your honesty is not in question.Originally Posted by Wurm

So what have you got to lose by trying it? I think the hype against wireless units is much overdone.

I have been using the Cat Eye CC-CD300DW for a couple of weeks now. Great wireless with cadence. I like the display that is clear and large enough to let you see speed, cadence, distance and time on one screen.Originally Posted by genec
Manual is quite complicated (could to with a "quick sheet setup"), and it took me a few days to understand all the functions. (not sure though if I do today )
On the first ride, the dist stayed locked on ~41 miles for an unknown reason, I suspect I may have hit the "lap" button by mistake, or there was an interference. It has worked fine since.
Easy installation, quite complex set up. Handlebar bracket is "OK", design could be improved. Transmiter fits on LH chainstay with two straps, that is also something Cat Eye should improve.
I have a wired on my MTB and a wireless on my roadie.
Now, on my MTB, the wire is trailed very neatly around the front brake cable, which is all good untill you get crap on it which is every ride, and then it just takes forever to clean off.
On my roadie, as you can see from the pics on the link in my signature, the installation is clean and does not spoil the look of the bike - very important for us roadies!!!
As for functionality, my Flightdeck has all that I need. It has a cadence function which can be set as the main display instead of speed, along with all sorts of other goodies including a lap counter, gear display, momentary display of gear ratios after a shift etc. which are all controlled from the tiny knobbles on the STIs - very handy.
So, I would recommend a wireless Flightdeck for a roadie - doesn't seem to mind getting wet, hot or cold and the batteries last fine too.

And to whoever said, 'maintaining the wire', I'd like to know what is actually required to maintain a wire. It doesn't need adjustment, or lubrication. It doesn't need its bolts tightened, and it doesn't need to be clean. Its just a wire, very simple.

Oklahoma moves up to No. 8 in BCS standings
NORMAN — Oklahoma and Notre Dame each handled their weekend home opponents to retain high BCS rankings and set up Saturday's top-10 showdown.
The unbeaten Fighting Irish stood pat at No. 5 in the latest BCS standings, which were released Sunday evening, and Oklahoma moved up one spot to No. 8.
Notre Dame and Oklahoma will face off Saturday at 7 p.m. on Owen Field before a national television audience on ABC.
The Sooners (5-1, 3-1 in Big 12 Conference play) breezed past Kansas 52-7 on Saturday. Notre Dame (7-0), meanwhile, got all it wanted from BYU at home in South Bend, Ind.; the Irish needed a fourth-quarter rally to put the Cougars away 17-14.
As expected, defending national champion Alabama held onto its No. 1 ranking, and fellow Southeastern Conference squad Florida remained at No. 2. The Gators beat South Carolina on Saturday, handing the Gamecocks their second loss and dropping them from the top 10.
The only movement inside the top five came from Kansas State and Oregon swapping spots; the Wildcats (7-0) were elevated to No. 3 following their impressive 55-14 rout at West Virginia, and Oregon (7-0) moved down to No. 4 despite its 43-21 win at Arizona State.
Kansas State handed Oklahoma its lone 2012 loss on Sept. 22, in a 24-19 decision.
Texas Tech (6-1) moved up to No. 14 this week in the BCS following its thrilling win at TCU. The Red Raiders' only 2012 defeat came on Oct. 13 at home, 41-20 to Oklahoma.
But after a convincing home win over West Virginia the following week, and Saturday's TCU win, Tech has an opportunity to vault into the top 10 when it travels to Kansas State on Saturday.
Oklahoma was ranked seventh in both the Harris Interactive and coaches' polls, the two top 25 polls that comprise two-thirds of the BCS formula. The final BCS standings determine the No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup for January's national championship game, being played this year Jan. 7 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
OU's coaches' poll ranking didn't change from last week, but in the Harris Poll, the Sooners moved up two spots from No. 9.
Six averaged computer rankings also figure into the BCS formula, with each team's highest and lowest rankings disregarded. Oklahoma's average computer ranking, No. 10, stayed the same as last week's.
The Oklahoma-Notre Dame game isn't the only big matchup with BCS implications next weekend; top-ranked Alabama hosts Mississippi State, which, despite its unbeaten record, is ranked No. 11 in the BCS, behind three one-loss teams.
In another big SEC game, Florida plays against No. 10 Georgia on Saturday.
Then the next week, Alabama plays at No. 6 LSU, which is off next weekend. The Nov. 3 Alabama-LSU game is intriguing because of last season; the Tigers won 9-6 in overtime, but Alabama won the rematch 21-0 in the BCS title game.

Oklahoma football: Is the tight end position making a comeback at OU?
NORMAN — More than a decade after his collegiate playing career ended, former Oklahoma tight end Trent Smith says he's just "a donor and a fan," lacking much special insight into the inner-workings of today's Sooner football program.
But he has noticed a troubling trend the past couple seasons regarding his old position.
"You notice that tight ends aren't out there," Smith said. "You notice that tight ends aren't making plays, and all of a sudden, it's a big deal when they make two catches in a game. That's not the way it used to be.
"I'm sure I speak for all of us old tight ends; it's exciting to see the position back in the limelight a little bit."
Is the Oklahoma tight end making a comeback after two years of relative obscurity? OU fans will get their first glance at the 2014 Sooners in next Saturday's spring game, and while Blake Bell's knee injury might dampen some of the excitement, lots of eyes will still be on the tight ends.
Tight ends were an integral piece of Stoops' offenses throughout his first 13 seasons in Norman, with playmakers such as Smith, Joe Jon Finley, Jermaine Gresham and James Hanna contributing often.
In 2011, Hanna, Trent Ratterree and Austin Haywood combined for 43 catches, 524 yards and four touchdowns, but after Hanna and Ratterree graduated and Haywood left the team, the 2012 team lacked any significant tight end presence.
When OU used tight ends in 2013, it was generally fullbacks Trey Millard and Aaron Ripkowski filling that role. Position coach Jay Boulware often cites that as evidence that the group was important to the overall offensive effort — even if they weren't catching many passes.
"I had two kids that played 50-something plays a game in Trey Millard and Aaron Ripkowski," Boulware said. "We rushed for more yards last year on our offense than we have in I don't know how long, and our tight ends had a lot to do with that.
"Now as far as our productivity in the throwing game? That's where we have to improve."
Bell, who started eight games at quarterback last season but switched to tight end in January, will miss the rest of spring practices with a knee injury suffered last week. But junior-college transfer Isaac Ijalana and sophomore Taylor McNamara could make waves this fall. OU also will add Tulsa Union product Carson Meier this summer.
"For the first time maybe since I was a recruit or in college, I looked at the highlight film of the incoming tight ends we have this year," Smith said. "They all look pretty salty. It's nice to see that type of athlete back on campus for OU."

Additional Information
Important InformationThis loan provides farmers and low-income entrepreneurs from underserved rural areas with access to financial services. By supporting this loan, you allow more farmers and rural entrepreneurs to access capital.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

MARIEMONT, Ohio -- Editor's Note: Readers may have noticed that our regular feature, "Meet the Mayor," was missing for a few months. We put the series on hiatus, reworked it, and now are pleased to bring you "Living In..." in its place each Wednesday.
Mariemont, Ohio
Town: Mariemont
County: Hamilton
Mayor: Dan Policastro
Elected: 2001
Population: 3,500
Claim to Fame: A National Historic Landmark Community
Unique Feature:
"This beautiful one-square mile village just east of Cincinnati is well known for its unequaled charm, historic architecture (especially the English Tudor structures), tree-lined streets, award winning schools, ten parks and hard-working volunteers," said Mayor Dan Policastro.
In 1979 the village was named to the National Register of Historic Places with 180 buildings. By 2007 it was awarded a National Historical Landmark. Additional honors include the village of Mariemont named one of the Top 10 Great Neighborhoods in America by the National Association of Town Planning in 2008 and one of the best hometowns in Ohio by Ohio Magazine.
"Mariemont is like a Norman Rockwell painting," said Claire Kupferle, a resident since 1988 and board member of the Mariemont Preservation Association. She said, "The concept of town is meant to be a model. Mary Emery wanted a place where people could live and enjoy the green spaces." Kupferle cites the walkability of the village. With a village this size, residents can find both retail amenities as well as a richness in history.
"It's like it was in the 1950's," said council member Dennis Wolter, who cites the solid sense of community and a strong council. Owner of Air Mod since 1973 in Batavia, Wolter and his wife Cynthia settled over 30 years ago in a house that Mary Emery had built on East St. in 1927.
Mariemont is one of but a few planned communities in the United States, with a rich and unique history that is the the hallmark of the village, according to its website. It was December of 1788 when the first group of people since the prehistoric Indians settled in the area. They chose a parcel of land now occupied by Lunken airport and named it "Columbia", in honor of Christopher Columbus. The early history of Mariemont (1786 to 1925) centers around the Stites and Ferris families. It was Major Benjamin Stites who first purchased land here. In 1799, part of the land that now constitutes Mariemont was sold to the Ferris brothers.
Built by Eliphalet Ferris c.1802, the house stands next to the Mariemont Preservation Foundation, across from the tennis courts on Plainville Road. It is one of the oldest brick buildings still standing in Hamilton County. The legacy of these early pioneering families existed at least until the 1920's. Established in the 1800's, Pioneer Cemetery on Wooster Pike contains the graves of Stites and Ferris, among other family founders.
Born in New York City in 1844, Mary Hopkins (Emery) lived with her parents and sister Isabella until the family moved to Cincinnati in 1862. After moving here, Mary met Thomas J. Emery, whose family had built a fortune in candles, soap, chemicals, and real estate. Mary was widowed in 1906 when Thomas's health failed during a recuperative trip to North Africa.
Mary Emery was determined to put the inheritance left to her to good use. She continued several philanthropies begun before her husband's death and started many new projects. Her biggest undertaking, however, was the creation of the "model town" of Mariemont.
Appalled by the unsanitary housing conditions in downtown Cincinnati, she used her vast fortune to create a "national exemplar", which would be planned in every detail to provide its residents with a high quality of life at all income levels. Mrs. Emery and Charles Livingood, her business manager, hired John Nolen, an internationally known town planner. He developed the plan for the village of Mariemont, named after Mary Emery's summer home in Rhode Island. The result of Mary Emery's vision and John Nolen's careful planning was a village with a real sense of community.
The Madisonville Site:
The land now known as the Madisonville Site (in Dogwood Park near the Mariemont swimming pool) was the location of a thriving village of Native Americans, one of the last groups to occupy territory in this area. The settlement existed from about 1400-1650, and covered the southwest corner of Mariemont. Estimates place the population at 250-300 people at its peak. The Madisonville Site is considered to be of great importance in the history of indigenous peoples of the Ohio River Valley. Relics are in the Smithsonian Institution, among other museums.
About the Mayor:
A licensed insurance claims adjuster for 35 years, Policastro also supervised the Cincinnati territory for Auto Owners Insurance Company (a Fortune 500 company) for 25 years. A member of the Republican Party, Policastro has been mayor of Mariemont for 14 years. He grew up in Mt. Lookout and has a BA degree with a major in business administration from Thomas More College. His salary as mayor is $8,000 per year. Retired from his day job, he continues as village mayor.

From some of these pictures, fishing looks like it was much more popular in the 1940s than it is now–look at the pier covered with fishermen!
"Built after the disastrous tropical storm of 1939, the new municipal pier is Southern California's most famous fishing pier. During the storm, many small craft were destroyed, and a number of people drowned" (Jeff Delaney, Newport Beach).
"Dory fisherman work at night, delivering their catch as the sun rises" (Jeff Delaney, Newport Beach). You can still buy fish from near the pier, at the Dory Fishing Fleet Market–if you do go, show up early; they sell out fast!
The start of the fishing market! "In the 1890s, the fishermen's wives began selling each day's catch in booths set up beneath the Newport Pier" (Jeff Delaney, Newport Beach).
According to Jeff, "Dory fishermen were beached for the duration of World War II. Fishermen remained active on both piers, commercial fishing vessels, and from the surf."
All information and photos are from Jeff Delaney's book, Newport Beach.

E Squared by Pam Grout — Experiment #4
Theory: Whatever you focus on Expands / Your thoughts have the ability to bring material goods into your life.
In my first attempt, I found this experiment from the book E Squared by Pam Grout more stressful than empowering. As the clock ticked down towards the end of my allotted 48 hours, I finally had to shrug away any disappointment that I had not been able to attract a FREE Grande dark roast coffee from Starbucks into my life. Hoping for success, I thought I could wrap my head around such a simple manifestation (especially since I had done it before on several occasions), but alas! Not this week. That being said, I did manage to attract a 3 bus ride commute in record time – each bus pulled up exactly as I arrived. Pretty sweet.
The Experiment
In order for this experiment to work you have to not do one thing: doubt. You're not allowed to doubt. Perhaps I set myself up for failure at the beginning of the week by first deciding that I would try to manifest something that I had been trying to attract into my life for over a year now, with much frustration. Although I didn't exactly intend it, I realize now that I started this experiment with anger. Anger that I had not already been able to attract it months ago. Even as I asked the universe to bring it into my life, I actively pursued it like a ravenous dog. My efforts resulted in a lost lunch bag, a lot of walking and a strong desire to punch a hole through a wall… any wall would have been sufficient. I really and sincerely wish I could tell you what it was that I was wanting to attract, but I can't quite yet. I can tell you that it has to do with my acting career.
After the 48 hours were up on this first experiment, I thought that I would try for a cup of coffee instead. This too was met with failure… although I did get a free cup of coffee at a seminar I attended, it wasn't quite what I had envisioned.
Where did I go wrong?
Obviously doubt played a central role, but was there something else at work here?
"All of us have an underlying sound track that goes something like this:
- There's something wrong with me
- I'm not good enough
- I have no talent
- I don't deserve it
- I can't do it
- It's too hard
Sweeping negative statements like these are what we call false prayers, the default beliefs to which you march in obedience. The good news is they're not true. The bad news is they operate as if they were true. They're your own personal amulet that you unwittingly carry everywhere you go. You wouldn't dream of plowing through life without them because, well, they're just so familiar." (expert)
More than getting past normal doubt, the success of this experiment makes a rather large demand of you. It demands that you put aside any beliefs about what is possible. We all have a mistaken belief that the world operates by certain rules: it takes this long to be successful, making money is hard, etc. These beliefs are hard to put aside.
In focus there is power
In a seminar she held (view below), Abraham Hicks explained that "in focus there is power." Unfortunately our past beliefs dilute our focus, thus diminishing our power (we are our own worst enemies). I'm also currently plagued by a sometimes debilitating fear of failure. I was afraid that if I let go and allowed myself to unapologetically and fully believe that I would get a free cup of Starbucks coffee, and then didn't get it… well, that I'd be disappointed and embarrassed. My resistance was really so silly, now that I'm able to step back from it.
Check out this video by Abraham Hicks on how without time and space is instant manifestation. It's a quick 6 minute video and I promise you that, no matter how you're feeling, it will instantly raise your vibration.
Although, if you've never heard of her before, check out this youtube video that explains it. Thank you for reading.

I'm not sure how fast the fast strobe is on that light, but it's more than likely to be faster than most bike specific strobing front lights.
I wouldn't worry too much about the cooling. it's more than adequate on a bike with a constant airflow over the entire flashlight body. unless you live in really hot areas with +30c constant with midday sunlight beating down.
personally I'd just get the one with the larger diameter lens and deeper reflector depth, but they're probably the same on the inside.
Food for thought: if you aren't dead by 2050, you and your entire family will be within a few years from starvation. Now that is a cruel gift to leave for your offspring. ;)
There is also this one priced in between the others, a 5 mode but SF-23. What would be the difference between SF-22 and SF-23?
Just looking at the little beamshot pic, this model appears to be a tad brighter and seems to have a slightly bigger hot spot, but I have no idea how accurate those shots are.
How can you tell by looking at the information table how one would be better at dissipating heat over another model?

I use one that is exactly like the bottom light.. Super bright, mine is a 2 mode which is fine.. Puts out 50-60 minutes of constant light on high, drops down a mode for another 10 minutes then you have to change the battery.. Good Light, no issues with mode switching, have about 50+ hours of usage and still going strong.. Heat is not an issue if riding at night..
I mount my light with lockblocks and have no problems.. The top light (22574) might be an issue with lockblocks since it will be strapped more toward the center/back and than center/front with model 22567

Hypercalcemia of malignancy associated with a suspected hepatocellular carcinoma

Miller, Andrew D.
A 9 year old female spayed Golden Retriever was evaluated for abdominal discomfort and guarding after eating. A diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma was made based on the combined results of a complete blood count, serum chemistry panel, thoracic and abdominal radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, aspiration cytology and liver biopsy. The serum chemistry panel revealed that this dog also had hypercalcemia which, through more in depth blood screening, was found to be due to production of parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrp). This paper will serve as a review of hepatic neoplasia and hypercalcemia as well as review the current treatment options that are available for an animal that presents with primary or secondary hepatic neoplasia.

It's the buzz around town in Mayflower, Arkansas.
"It is a wild story. It really is," says Lewis Gardner,Jr.
The population is just over 1,600. Not much happens in Mayflower.
"This is a hoax. It can't be," says Gardner.
But Monday, they're getting big city attention.
"Good afternoon everybody. Welcome to Mayflower, Arkansas," says Lottery Director Ernie Passailaigue.
At the Crackerbox 25 convenience store on Highway 365, reporters and photographers gathered. The developing news? It's a $25 million Powerball jackpot prize.
As of Monday night, the winner is still a mystery.
Mayflower resident Robert Skinner says, "How come I didn't win it? I didn't get no ticket."
Skinner showed up at the store just to get in on all the hype and says the anticipation is all around town.
"They want to know where the guy is that won the money," he says.
What Today's THV does know from Passailaigue is the lucky person bought the ticket at the Crackerbox 25.
"They have 180 days from the day of the sale to the day to show up and claim their prize. So it could be today, it could be tomorrow. It could be next week," Passailaigue says.
It's not just good news for the winner, the owner of the store is also profiting. By state law, the retailer must be awarded $50,000 just for selling the ticket.
Lewis Gardner and his son own 29 Crackerbox stores across Arkansas.
Gardner says, "When we get it, we will pay our tithes and pay a few bills and go on."
As for if they'll reward the employee that sold the ticket, Gardner Jr. says, "This is all new to me, so I don't know the answer to that. It all depends on if I can find out which clerk sold it."
Who sold it? Who won it? They're all mysteries to be solved in due time.
Lottery officials say they know the day and time the ticket was sold, but they're not releasing that information.
The winning Powerball numbers can be seen every Wednesday and Saturday on the "THV 10:00 Difference."
Gardner and his employees at the Crackerbox believe the winner may live in the city of Mayflower because the store is a mile from the interstate exit.
The winner can choose between a 29-year payout or a lump sum payment of more than $12 million.
Arkansas began selling Powerball tickets on Oct. 31.

In his first start since Sept. 29, Virginia quarterback Michael Rocco took control of the offense last Saturday despite a two-quarterback system, and threw four touchdowns, no interceptions, 18 straight completions and for 300 yards in a wild, down-to-the-wire 41-40 win over Miami.
Didn't matter. Virginia will still use two quarterbacks on Thursday night against North Carolina.
"As we go into this game, both quarterbacks will play," said Virginia coach Mike London, "because that seems to be a formula that's been successful for us right now."
In Chapel Hill last week, Georgia Tech backup quarterback Vad Lee came off the bench and led the Yellow Jackets on three consecutive touchdown drives. Lee finished the shootout with 169 yards passing and a touchdown, and rushed for 112 yards and two more scores in the 68-50 win.
Didn't matter. Georgia Tech will still use two quarterbacks on Saturday against Duke.
"Unless something crazy happens in practice," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson, "we will probably continue to do it how we've been doing it."
Georgia Tech and Virginia fans everywhere: Huh?
Both programs enter Week 12 confident from back-to-back wins under the direction of two quarterbacks, but last week, Rocco and Lee separated themselves from their competition -- at least in the eyes of many watching. London has been criticized for his rotation of quarterbacks, and Georgia Tech fans have been eager to see what Lee can do since the day he walked on campus. Both coaches have their reasons for keeping it status quo -- namely two straight wins. Virginia backup Phillip Sims played well against Miami without any turnovers. Georgia Tech starter Tevin Washington actually graded 20 points higher than Lee in the coaching staff's film evaluation.
The most important aspect of both scenarios is the willingness of all four quarterbacks to continue to play nicely with each other. They've all been selfless with their playing time and roles, and will have to continue to be in the final two weeks of the season as the game plan remains the same.
"I refuse to second guess where we are now because I think what we're doing now with [Rocco], it's the best thing for this team," London said.
Over the six-game losing streak, Virginia's quarterbacks combined to throw five touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Rocco was benched in favor of Sims midway through the losing streak and Sims started against Duke. It didn't go so well, as UVa lost 42-17. The following week against Maryland wasn't much better.
With the Cavaliers trailing 27-13 in the fourth quarter, Rocco relieved Sims and promptly directed a 10-play, 81-yard drive. His 24-yard touchdown pass to Jake McGee pulled Virginia within 27-20 with 4:10 left. That would be the final score.
"My ultimate job is to help the team win the game, whether it's a two-quarterback system, one, or I'm playing or not," Rocco said. "I just compete, help make the team better, help make the other quarterbacks better, and help make myself better. If I do that, I feel like we can put ourselves in position to win."
Johnson said he is not ready to name a starter for this week, but it will be Senior Day in Atlanta, and Washington is a senior captain.
"Vad has a long time to play football here and if he plays as well as he played on Saturday, [he] will play a majority of the snaps," Johnson said. "… We didn't take [Tevin] out because he wasn't playing well, we just took him out because the plan was to give those guys a couple series. Then, once the thing got going, Vad did nothing to have me take him out of the game. Once he's scoring on every possession, it's hard to take him out. When we got to a point in the second half when we're so deep in to it, to me it is then Vad's game."
Lee, a redshirt freshman, has played in eight games this year. In the run-based offense, he has thrown three touchdowns and one interception and has run for eight touchdowns. He is fourth on the team in rushing with 434 yards. Washington is second on the team with 536 rushing yards and has 17 rushing touchdowns -- No. 2 nationally among quarterbacks and one shy of tying the school's single-season record, held by Joshua Nesbitt.
Lee said the uncertainty of how much playing time he'll get isn't a factor in his preparation during the week.
"It doesn't affect it at all," Lee said. "I go with the ones and the twos at practice. I get a lot of reps in, getting ready, getting mentally prepared. I'm comfortable with both groups and the receivers and everything. It's no pressure at all.
"You just have to take it one day at a time. It's a learning experience, a growing experience. You just sit back and understand things from a different perspective; relax, let things come to you and try to stay as humble as possible."
Rocco said he's a confident person by nature and tries not to be overconfident, cocky or arrogant. Truth is, though, he thinks he can get the job done -- and he believed it on Saturday against the Canes.
With six seconds remaining, Rocco completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to McGee in the back of the end zone for the go-ahead score. On that final drive, he directed the Cavaliers 87 yards in 2:32, and converted two fourth downs along the way. He either passed or ran for all 87 yards during the drive.
"Especially at the end of the game, I really felt we were going to win, we were going to take it down the field and win the game," Rocco said. "I felt like I was the guy to do it. I felt like our offense believed in me, we believed in ourselves to get it done and we did. It was a really cool experience and a much-needed win."
They key is for both programs -- and all of their quarterbacks -- to keep it up.

Leading a volunteer team is a unique effort. The teaching strategies to recruit a volunteer team is the first major step. Some leaders of volunteer teams feel defeated in the early stages of working with volunteers.
Business teams have somewhat of an advantage over volunteer teams in that a salary is included for those who work in the business.
Volunteer teams must depend upon the character and the desire of those on team to participate. This is not always easy to accomplish.
Many volunteer teams have experienced the loss of members in a very short time. Why does this take place? And why are some volunteer teams capable of keeping team members for a long time?
There is a very simple practice that can secure volunteer team members and retain them for long periods of time. That practice is based upon the development of team relationships.
Teaching Strategies of the Great Teacher
One of the greatest teachers and leaders of teamwork development that mankind has ever known is Jesus the Nazarene.
When Jesus began recruiting his disciples, basically a volunteer team, he had a unique strategy. Jesus began by calling two brothers to follow him, Simon Peter and Andrew, then he called upon two other brothers to follow him, James and John.
Not only were these two sets of men brothers (Simon was Andrew's brother, James was John's brother) but they also shared the same occupation. All four men were fishermen by trade.
As Jesus began his ministry on earth his teaching strategies of how he recruited his disciples was obvious. To develop a strong volunteer team he began with men who identified with one another. These four men also had a trade in common, and were related.
Identifying With One Another is Key
Many volunteer teams struggle in their organization due to the fact that some of their team members do not identify with one another and do not get enjoy the company of the others.
A leader and volunteer organizations would do well to allow team members to help recruit other team members. This is a sign of a good volunteer team leader: One who allows team members to recruit others to join the team shows a great deal of trust.
When Jesus began his ministry he first found Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. The Bible says that Andrew after being recruited by Jesus found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (John 1:41) Simon then came to Jesus with his brother Andrew and Jesus looked at Simon and said, "You are Simon son of John; you shall be called Peter." (John 1:42)
What Jesus Did Is As Important As What He Said
There are many people who pay close attention to the teachings of Christ but ignore the strategies of Christ. In other words, they pay close attention to what Jesus said but pay little attention to what Jesus did.
If you are in the process of trying to develop a strong and strategic team relationships are absolutely important. You cannot expect your volunteer team to be successful and productive if your team members do not share commonality.
If the team members cannot relate to one another there will be many times that disagreements, disharmony and disunity will overpower the vision and strategy of your organization.
One Last Word
As you seek to develop your volunteer team, a major step should be focused on recruiting and developing those who share things in common.
When a core-base of people who share common principles are brought together then those of diverse opinions and ideas can be recruited to the team. Jesus recruited a tax-collector who worked for Rome and a Zealot, who hated everything about Rome, after he built his base of four fishermen. This was a strategy with a reason and a plan. Here is another article that talks more about this subject of how Jesus recruited his volunteer team: Jesus and His Motley Crew of Disciples.
The teaching strategies of how Jesus recruited his team is well worth studying. Afterall, He is the greatest Teacher known to mankind!

Before my younger dd was allergic to ginger, I would mix together ketchup, worchestershire sauce and seasoned salt (ginger's in most seasoned salts). I just did it to taste.
I like big BOOKS and I can not lie...
Have you tried Bullseye BBQ sauce? My dh lives by that stuff. I am from NC so my favorite is George's BBQ sauce. Before I moved to CO in March I bought a HUGE thing of his BBQ sauce. It's vinegar based so unless you like the vinegar kind for southern bbq then it's not for you. I use it to make my own bbq from a pork roast. As for ribs, Bullseye does make a specialty sauce that is for ribs and sticks to it but I can't seem to find it here in CO. I found it at Lowe's Foods in NC.

Ah we don't like that sweet sauce, except maybe on pulled pork sandwiches.
Want to taste the sauce from from this area ??
Here is my recipee.......
By the way, I have tried many grocery sauces and Open Pitt is the only one I can stand with its sweetness level low.
Annie's Natural's Hot Chipotle Barbecue Sauce is AMAZING. My DD is soy intolerant so I cannot eat it now and I really miss it. Everything else I have tried is way too sweet. I know Whole Foods carries it, and I think Kroger does, too.
I make mine, it is a little tangy with the vinegar:
1 cup chili sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dijon mustard
3 Tbs cidar vinegar
3 Tbs worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs honey
1 Tbs soy sauce
4 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp - 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Champagne - An eye shadow recommended for blue eyes.
Jane Iredale's highly pigmented shadows are simple to blend, sensitivity-tested and they stay put for gorgeous, crease-free, long-lasting eye color.
I love the Jane Iredale eye shadows. They are so easy to use and blend, last well, and don't bother my rather-sensitive eyes. I have fair skin, brown eyes, and I use this color as an all-over base. It is not too light, not too tan - just goes very well with the light color of my eyelids and hides the veins.
Apply your darkest color in a sideways V with the Eye Contour Brush. Highlight above the iris in a medium shade with the Eye Shader Brush. Highlight the brow bone in your lightest shade with the Deluxe Shader Brush. Blend well with a clean brush.
