Greisa Martinez, 26, is an organizer for United We Dream, a nonprofit that seeks to address the inequities and obstacles faced by immigrant youth and their families by building a sustainable and robust grassroots movement. Originally from Hidalgo, Mexico, Greisa moved to Dallas, Texas, with her family when she was 7 years old.
On Aug. 15, 2012, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency began accepting applications from certain young undocumented immigrants such as Martinez. The program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, offers a group of undocumented immigrants often called "Dreamers" temporary protection from deportation and legal permission to hold a job, continue their educations, or serve in the military.
Two years later, Martinez, one of an estimated 552,000 successful DACA applicants, shares her assessment of the program, a recent congressional vote to repeal it, and what President Obama should do now with Next America.
Two years ago, I was one of 552,000 young people in the United States who celebrated a newfound chance to more fully participate in our society. Two weeks ago, I was one of 552,000 young people in America whose futures Republicans in the House of Representatives deemed expendable.
Since it was first set in motion by executive order in June 2012, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, has provided more than a half-million Dreamers—undocumented young adults like me—the chance to more fully pursue work, education, and other opportunities. Because of DACA, I have a work permit for the first time in my life, and my mother and three sisters no longer worry that I could be separated from them. Yet Republicans in the House voted on Aug. 1 to end DACA and subject Dreamers to deportation.
I have yet to understand why the Republican Party thinks the right response to a 10-year-old fleeing violence in San Pedro Sula, Honduras is to deport a 20-year old Dreamer in San Pedro, Calif.—or in my case, a 26-year old from Dallas, Texas, who has lived, attended school and grown up in the United States for 18 years. But that's apparently what passes for sensible immigration policy in GOP circles these days. Even though DACA eligibility is limited to those of us who arrived in the United States before 2007, Republicans are intent to blame DACA for the rise in Central American children fleeing violence.
Facts seem to carry little weight with a Republican Party intent on blaming President Obama at all costs and unwilling to budge from an immigration vision that still begins and ends with deporting and dehumanizing immigrants like my mother, Elia Rosas. If Republicans have an alternate policy besides "more deportations," our community has yet to see it. They've blocked legislation, are seeking to end DACA, and are now trying to stop the president from using his existing executive authority to fill the vacuum created by their inaction.
In fact, the House Republicans' recent vote and the GOP's larger effort to blame DACA for the surge of kids from Central America should be understood as an attempt to try to preempt President Obama from taking executive action on behalf of undocumented parents like my mother.
DACA works. It protects undocumented young adults brought to the United States as children from deportation and provides us work permits. It opens up new doors of opportunity. A recent survey of DACA recipients commissioned by Unbound Philanthropy and the organization for which I work, United We Dream, found that 70 percent began their first job or moved to a new one after receiving permission to remain in the U.S. through DACA. Another 64 percent said they were less afraid because of their newfound status. For me, it's meant an opportunity to step out of the shadows, to work, and to further contribute to the country I call my home.
Yet despite the fact that DACA recipients' lives and futures have changed, our families have remained under siege. The same Obama administration that delivered DACA has also presided over a record-high number of deportations involving other undocumented immigrants. The more than 2 million men, women, and children deported by the Obama administration includes traffic violators, people with families and lives in the United States, and others who would have been eligible for eventual legalization under blocked legislation.
This record-high total includes my father, who after building a life and family here, was unjustly deported in 2008. He was pulled over while driving home from work. For my mother, my deferred action status has meant peace of mind. The thought of losing one of her daughters, as well, is too much for her.
Two years after it began, the DACA program should serve as a foundation for broader relief directed at those who would qualify for legalization under blocked immigration legislation. Parents of Dreamers, parents of U.S. citizens, and Dreamers ineligible for DACA because of its age ceilings are counting on the president. My mother, Elia Rosas, is counting on the President. She has lived here for more than 18 years. She is the head of a mixed-status household that includes two U.S. citizen daughters and two DACA-recipient daughters.
My mother has worked hard to put us through college, and she brought us here from Hidalgo, Mexico, so that we could survive. She had dreams for my sisters and me to receive the education she couldn't have. My mom always dreamed of being a teacher, and because of her sacrifice, my sister, Dimna, will be starting her first year as a kindergarten teacher next week. Because of my mother's courage my sister, Girsea, will be starting graduate school this fall. Now my mom's dream is to be able to work as a substitute teacher at Dimna's school and drive without fear to visit Girsea on weekends.
Is that really so hard to understand?
Encouraging policies that keep families together should not be controversial. Ensuring that our nation remains a place of opportunity for the young people who call this country home should not be a partisan issue. It's only through the lens of Washington dysfunction and what I see as growing nativism in the Republican Party that such assertions are controversial.
President Obama has the discretion, legal authority, and moral responsibility to reform his deportation legacy and to build on one of his administration's successes with DACA. No other family should have to go through what my family has.
The president can stand with our families and fight for our community or he can use the current dysfunction in Washington as an excuse for inaction. Our families, our community, and the arc of history will judge his decision.
Greisa Martinez is an organizer for United We Dream. In 2014, after living in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant for more than 18 years, she received legal permission to remain through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Before joining United We Dream, she cofounded the Council for Minority Student Affairs, which advocates for the rights of undocumented students, at Texas A&M University.

a well-rounded char

<i>What to Do in Case of Fire</i> - check out this movie for a fully-fleshed out char in a wheelchair - Hotte, who is an old-school anarchist still up to old school trouble. definitely not the polite guy in a weehlchair sitting on the side kind of guy. awesome stuff.
How about character's like
Jordan Butler replied on
How about character's like South Park's Jimmy or Cancer Boy from the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy? These characters are super good cripples to the point of parody. These parodies seem like acknowledgements that Hollywood's disabled person archtype is limited and ridiculous. But, as with many examples that come from South Park, the acknowledgement of the archtype doesn't always seem to prevent them from making the same kind of offensive jokes at the character's expense. Curious if anyone had any thoughts about these types of parodies.
It may not be honest but...
Grace replied on
It may not be an honest depiction of disability, but it certainly ain't the status quo. I just saw an amazing Thai Kung Fu movie called Chocolate starring a preteen Autistic girl who learns to fight from watching both movies and the boxing school outside her window. As a Kung Fu movie, I'm not sure it ever aimed to depict the reality of disability. Yet the idea that a disabled girl could use her abilities to achieve justice in a world fraught with oppression kicks ass (quite literally).

Tampa Bay Lightning
NHL Game Night: 1-13-15 Lightning at BruinsSubmitted by pete on January 13, 2015 - 22:44
Lightning dare to put up a fight.
Ben Bishop allowed 4 goals on 34 shots for the loss.
First Period
9:23 TB Stamkos (24), (Palat, Kucherov)
16:42 BOS Marchand (12), (Soderberg, Krug)
Second Period
10:55 TB Stamkos (25), (Palat, Nesterov)
15:24 BOS Pastrnak (3), (Lucic, Miller)
19:06 BOS Lucic (9), (Krejci, Seidenberg)
Third Period
1:30 BOS Pastrnak (4), (Krug, Krejci)
14:18 TB Callahan (14), (Killorn, Barberio)
Steven Stamkos was the game's second star.
This was an almost impossible mission for the Lightning tonight. They went into this game against a fresh Bruins team having played the night before in Philly. They were down their All-Star center (Johnson) and their best defenseman (Hedman). And Boston has been a place where the Lightning historically just don't play well. And, even when they do, something weird does them in (as it did tonight).
With all that going against them tonight, and with the Bruins on a 3 game winning streak, the Lightning lost a 1 goal game where the difference was a fluky goal. And, until late in the Second Period where the Lightning started to lose steam and that fluky goal happened, it's a game where the Lightning had the better of the play. Come the Third Period, with the Lightning skating with dead legs, Boston started to take the possession edge of the game and built up the 2 goal lead. At that point it would've been easy for the Lightning to pack it in, but then something happened that might make Lightning fans a little proud of the team.
Responding to seeing one of his teammates get boarded, Cedric Paquette had the audacity to shove mighty Zdeno Chara. Chara, naturally, sucker punched Paquette underneath the chin in the throat area dropping Cedric to the ice. It's an act which made Boston's NESN crew, led by the uber-classy Jack Edwards, pump up Chara's tires for being some kind of invincible warrior for bravely sucker punching a rookie. Yes, quite the feat of valor. I can see why they immediately ordered Chara's new medal. And, when said sucker-puncher was subsequently given a double minor for roughing, Edwards immediately started crying about the referees and generally carrying on about a rookie, Paquette, having the audacity to stand chest to chest with Chara. I mean, if you shove Zdeno Chara in the chest he has every right to sucker punch you in the chin and throat area, right. I mean, that's a totally symmetrical response, right? Wait, what? The refs said it wasn't!?
The game rolled on and there was another physical confrontation between J.T. Brown and David Krejci where Brown initiated dropping the gloves, upon which Edwards immediately excoriated Brown for thuggish behavior beyond the pale. You see, when Zdeno Chara sucker punches a guy in the throat, that makes Chara a world class gladiator worthy of being your son's role model ("Don't poke the bear! Grrrowl!"), but when another team's player drops the gloves first, partially in retaliation in a game that was getting a little physical/chippy, that makes them a thug. Hypocrisy, thy name is Jack Edwards! In any event, these two incidents gave the Lightning a jolt of adrenaline that helped them close the game to 1 goal and really make it interesting at the end. They picked up their hitting in the process and generally came together as a team in that moment, which is an emotionally galvanizing/team building instance in time that might've been lacking to this point of the season.
Note that in the process of that comeback bid, Edwards again showed what a colossal hypocrite and generally classless person he is by excoriating Paquette for throwing a completely clean and monstrously heavy open ice check in the neutral zone on a Bruins player. Citing that Paquette was somehow "standing over McQuaid" (he wasn't) Edwards began to attack Paquette as an unaccomplished player unworthy of the great honor of breathing the same air as a mighty Bruins player. Here's the thing, though:
You know what rookie Cedric Paquette accomplished tonight, Jack Edwards? He got your bummy rear end to talk about him for nearly an entire period of hockey and he got your best defenseman to chase him around for the entire final shift of a game where the Bruins were trying to protect a 1-goal lead. He furthermore so crawled under your team's skin that Brad Marchand was running his mouth about retribution in games later this season. In other words, he played his role to a tee. That'll keep him in the NHL because that's part of what makes for a valuable lower-line role player. Thanks for playing along, smart guy.
In the end, Jack Edwards, your mighty Bruins team only managed to beat a tired Lightning team on the tail end of a back-to-back with no Tyler Johnson and no Victor Hedman by a goal that Anton Stralman kicked into the back of his own net on a fluke play. Wow. Quite the accomplishment. Would you like your Stanley Cup celebratory champagne for that victory now, or maybe wait a couple of hours? I mean, surely Bettman will call off the season and hand you the silver chalice. At least, that's how you and the rest of the NESN crew acted at the end of the game.
The clown princes of the NHL sit in the press box in Boston, Massachusetts. This much I know for sure.
Paquette had 6 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 3 hits in 9:57, and made the entire city of Boston hate him. He's alright in my books. He took Boston's top defenseman off the ice for 4 minutes to give the Lightning a power play and defended a teammate on the first play, buried a Boston player with a great open ice hit on the second incident, and had Boston's best defenseman chasing him around the entire last shift of a 1-goal game when he should've been 100% focused on protecting a 1-goal lead. Now there's talk the Bruins may be chasing Cedric around the remaining 3 matchups this season? Gee, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he's playing the acerbic 4th liner role to perfection. That's how a guy like Paquette stays employed and stays paid in this league, last I checked.
Jonathan Drouin was -1 with 3 shots and 1 blocked shot in 12:34. He had a really nice look on the PP in the First Period I was shocked he didn't finished and looked more engaged in that period than at any time in the Philly game.
Nikita Nesterov had a helper, his first NHL point, 1 shot, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 14:53. Kind of a mixed bag. He looked dynamic offensively at times, particularly in the First Period, but was a little more iffy in the defensive end with some of his decisions. Fortunately some of his mistakes he helped cover for with hustle. All in all, probably a game you'd say was more positive than negative, for sure.

NHL Game Night: 1-12-15 Lightning at FlyersSubmitted by pete on January 12, 2015 - 22:02
So ends Evgeny Nabokov's NHL career?
Evgeny Nabokov allowed 4 goals on 13 shots for the loss before giving way to Ben Bishop, who allowed 3 on 12 shots the rest of the way. The fact Cooper didn't put Nabokov back in for the Third Period seems a bit telling, like perhaps this is the end of the road. Nabokov appeared to earn the start after playing reasonably well in his last outing, but he once again proved the Lightning just can't rely on him for even a mediocre start in back-to-back situations. Were it me, I'd highly consider calling up Kristers Gudlevskis to assume day-to-day practice duties as a waiver-exempt placeholder and then swap him with Andrei Vasilevskiy for planned starts, such as in upcoming back-to-backs. It could be a sad ending for Nabokov, who is probably one of the 4 or 5 best Russian goaltenders ever. The bottom dropped out quickly for him, though, a la Dwayne Roloson several years back.
First Period
6:12 PHI VandeVelde (3), (Schenn, Giroux)
10:26 TB Stamkos (23), (Johnson, Stralman)(PP)
16:15 PHI Umberger (7), (Read, Coburn)
Second Period
1:45 PHI Voracek (17), (Streit, Giroux)(PP)
2:36 PHI Bellemare (4), (VandeVelde, Del Zotto)
7:02 PHI Streit (5), (Schenn, Simmonds)(PP)
8:37 PHI Schenn (10), (Streit, Voracek)(PP)
15:01 PHI Raffl (11), (Laughton, Simmonds)
15:23 TB Boyle (8), (Paquette, Stralman)
Third Period
1:20 TB Callahan (13), (Drouin, Filppula)(PP)
Adding injury to insult, Victor Hedman and Tyler Johnson left the game with lower body injuries, the former of which meant that Brian Boyle ended up having to take shifts on defense. Johnson's injury, which looked like a potential twisted knee, is particularly troubling. So, in addition to whatever happens (if anything) with the goaltending situation, you could see Vladislav Namestnikov called up to fill for Johnson and on defense, I'll guess Luke Witkowski would get the call and the coaching staff might try to slide one of their lefties playing the right side over to the left side.
This was a case where the Lightning got caught peeking ahead to Boston, didn't come out with their best effort, saw some soft goaltending, and allowed it to snowball out of control. Now they'll go into a place they seemingly never win with a depleted lineup after Bishop had to nearly play 2 periods of hockey in the back-to-back situation. So, a minor lapse of mental focus may snowball beyond a single hockey game, which is a lesson Cooper should stress to his team.
Cedric Paquette had a helper with 2 shots, 4 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 17:32, as he got to fill some of Johnson's minutes. He was also 40% on draws. To his credit, he was still throwing checks and playing hard in garbage time on the Third Period, which isn't unexpected given his well-respected effort level.
Jonathan Drouin had a helper and was -1 with 1 hit in 15:56. Zero shot attempts. None. The kid sneezes out assists, which is amazing for a guy who rarely even attempts to shoot the puck, and tells you how big a point producer he could be if he actually did.

NHL Game Night: 1-9-15 Sabres at LightningSubmitted by pete on January 9, 2015 - 22:25
Lightning blow out Sabres 2-1.
Ben Bishop allowed 1 goal on 21 shots for the victory. His stop on Grigorenko on a 2-on-1 in the Second Period allowed the Lightning to turn the momentum after the Sabres' lone goal into a tidal wave that eventually overcame Neuvirth's exceptional effort at the other end of the rink.
First Period
3:51 TB Filppula (8), (Callahan, Paquette)
Second Period
0:50 BUF McCormick (1), (Kaleta)(SH)
Third Period
14:42 TB Stamkos (22), (Drouin, Killorn)
Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan were the game's second and third stars.
The Lightning outshot the Sabres 47-21 in the contest, and the final 39 minutes of this game were about as lopsided a game as you'll ever see in your life. The Lightning lived in the Sabres zone, throwing wave after wave of chances at the Buffalo net in a scene reminiscent of the old Lightning/Panthers games you used to see in the early '00's. Eventually, though, Neuvirth's nine lives ran out and the Lightning got the "W" that they richly deserved.
And remember, folks, Bobby "The Chief" Taylor says, "Ice is like great whiskey, it has to be aged and cured." Stick that in your flask.
Cedric Paquette had a helper and was +1 with 2 shots, 2 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 14:25. He started Filppula's goal with some good board work and had a rugged night where he gave and took with the Sabres throughout the night. His most high-profile moment, though, was a SH breakaway in the Third Period with the game tied 1-1 that Neuvirth got a piece of and steered off the outside of the goalpost and out.
Jonathan Drouin had 1 assist, 1 shot, and 1 blocked shot in 15:06. I though his line was a revelation tonight, and it's fitting Killorn/Stamkos/Drouin got the game winner. They could've had a half dozen goals tonight if Neuvirth had been the slightest bit human. It will be interesting to see if the momentum that group gained tonight carries forward against better opposition.
Nikita Nesterov was +1 with 2 penalty minutes and 4 shots in 14:34. My goodness he had such a good game helping the Lightning press the attack... right up until that clunker of a shift with the game tied 1-1 in the Third Period where he made a blind turnover that led to zone time for Buffalo and Nesterov eventually taking the tripping call. He should thank Bishop and the PK'ers for picking him up there. That little oops aside, though, if Nesterov's night translates against better opposition, the Lightning may have found a significant silver lining in Radko Gudas' knee injury.

NHL Game Night: 1-6-15 Lightning at CanadiensSubmitted by pete on January 6, 2015 - 22:34
Tasty, tasty revenge.
Ben Bishop again smacked Carey Price around, allowing just 2 goals on 22 shots for the victory. Funny how Montreal can't buy a win against Tampa Bay unless Anders (stinking) Lindback is between the pipes.
First Period
15:07 MTL Weise (5), (Plekanec, Gonchar)
Second Period
3:17 TB Brown (2), (Drouin, Boyle)
10:42 TB Johnson (16), (Kucherov, Palat)(PP)
18:16 TB Connolly (8), (Filppula, Paquette)
19:38 TB Johnson (17), (Palat, Kucherov)(PP)
Third Period
5:01 MTL Pacioretty (17), (Gallagher, Gonchar)
I'm going to assume that Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov were the game's first and second stars, and that Alex Killorn being listed as the first star on NHL.com is a mistake.
Man, I wish the Lightning could just alternate between playing Montreal and the Rangers every game. This team, when it has extra motivation, just goes to another level. I said it when the playoff run ended last season: All Montreal did was make a very powerful enemy of the Lightning, and that my suspicion is the Lightning will spend the next 5 seasons torturing the Canadiens for how that series went. Two games into the season series this year, the Lightning are 2-0-0 and have outscored Montreal in the series 11-3. My goodness, Tampa Bay even pulled their shambolic power play out of the dumpster with a 2-for-5 performance based partly on a new strategic wrinkle -- putting Stamkos out on a unit with the triplets. It looked like money tonight. The Canadiens' broadcasters are trying to stoke this as a budding rivalry between Tampa Bay and Montreal. My early take is that Montreal looks more like speed bump to Tampa Bay than a rival, regardless of how close things are in the standings. Without Lindback spotting them 1-2 free goals a game, Montreal's at a huge disadvantage playing against the Lightning head-to-head.
Cedric Paquette had a helper and was +1 with 1 shot, 5 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 16:29. He got his assist hedmanning the puck on a 3-on-1 that Connolly converted, and otherwise was just a bowling ball on skates all night. He was trying to hit everything that moved out there.
Jonathan Drouin had a helper and 1 shot and 1 hit in 11:28. He might've had the key shift of the night hitting a crossbar on one rush and then creating a chance on the next rush that saw Brown pot his rebound for the Lightning's opening goal. Once they got one on Price, the floodgates opened in the Second Period and the rest is history.

NHL Game Night: 1-4-15 Lightning at SenatorsSubmitted by chad on January 4, 2015 - 23:47
Every win streak starts at one.
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 20 shots. He was beaten by the first shot he faced, but settled down, making some underrated saves in the second period. He coasted in the third when the Lightning controlled the majority of play. He's not his pre-injury self yet, but he's getting closer.
First Period
0:32 OTT Turris (9), (MacArthur, Ceci)
Second Period
3:48 TB Hedman (5), (Drouin, Carle)
7:30 OTT Stone (9), (Turris, Karlsson)
16:08 TB Johnson (14), (Kucherov, Stralman)
16:55 TB Stamkos (21), (Killorn, Hedman)
Third Period
7:58 Johnson (15), (Kucherov, Palat)
Johnson and Kucherov were the game's first and second stars, respectively.
Like in Pittsburgh, the Lightning started slow again, but the game turned out more like the recent Leafs game than Pens when they controlled the second and third periods.
The Lightning were horrific on the power play to start the game, unable to get into Ottawa's zone without looking like a pee-wee team. It wasn't until Johnson finished off a slick cross-ice pass from Kucherov late in the second period that they finally broke through on the man advantage. They finished a paltry 1/9, though that's better than an 0-fer. Ottawa has experienced similar futility lately on the power play; they haven't scored with the man advantage since December 19. They were 0/3 on Sunday.
Shortly after Johnson's goal, Stamkos scored a highlight-reel, high-effort marker to hopefully get the monkey off his back. A big difference for him tonight was the presence of Alex Killorn on his line in place of Jonathan Drouin, which opened up some additional space. If this doesn't get Stamkos going, Jon Cooper may think about putting Callahan back on Stamkos' line as an investment of sorts in the Lightning's top asset.
The difference in this game was the Lightning's pressure in the second and third periods. The Sens played Boston on Saturday and the Lightning had been sitting in Ottawa since the Penguins game on Friday night. By the end of the third period the Lightning were getting extended zone time and Ottawa wasn't showing much desire to keep playing.
With the win, the Lightning begin their fifth 10-game segment of the season with 2 points. To review, the goal is 12 points per segment, and they already have 4 extra points in the bank from previous segments.
The key now for the Lightning is to turn a single win into a streak. There's no better place to start than Montreal on Tuesday night in a battle for the top spot in the Atlantic. Both teams have 54 points, with the Habs having two games in hand. This is where the 2004 Lightning took off on their way to the East's No. 1 seed.
Cedric Paquette was even with 1 shot and 1 hit in 12:18. He played a lot with Callahan and Filppula and didn't look out of place. He's not thriving like he did when he was first called up, but he's settling into his checking role nicely.
Jonathan Drouin had 1 assist and was +2 with 3 shots in 12:59. He created a rebound that led to Hedman's goal and was a Lehner toe save away from scoring on his own in the third period. Though getting fourth-line duty with grinders Morrow and Boyle, Drouin is able to produce better because he's not up against the opposition's best shut-down lines and pairs. It's part of the long learning process. You can't say Cooper didn't give him a chance up top.
Nikita Nesterov was even with 2 PIM, 1 shot, and 1 hit in 13:06. He took a tripping penalty in the first period, but nearly scored after exiting the box and pinching in deep. He was sheltered for a lot of the game, though he continues to show impressive poise and aggressiveness for a rookie. Slotting in over Barberio was an interesting choice by Cooper, though it could be because Nesterov has experience playing the right side and Barberio is much better on the left than right. Both are lefties. Radko Gudas is out for the road trip so I'm curious to see if Nesterov or Barberio get the nod in the important Montreal game. I can't say enough about how big of a difference there is in Nesterov's play and on-ice demeanor between last year at this time and now. Kudos to him and the Syracuse staff.

NHL Game Night: 1-2-15 Lightning at PenguinsSubmitted by pete on January 2, 2015 - 22:12
Disengage safety. Point at foot. Pull trigger. Repeat.
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 10 shots before being pulled for Evgeny Nabokov who allowed 2 on 18 shots the rest of the way for the dreaded back door loss. If there was a silver lining out of this game, it might have been that Nabby looked like an NHL goaltender in relief tonight.
First Period
1:56 PIT Kunitz (12), (Letang, Crosby)(PP)
6:50 PIT Ebbett (1), (Malkin, Despres)
13:39 PIT Malkin (17), (Ebbett, Rust)
15:11 TB Boyle (7), (Palat, Carle)
Second Period
12:48 TB Hedman (4), (Johnson, Palat)
17:07 PIT Ehrhoff (3), (Bennett, Crosby)
Third Period
11:18 TB Killorn (9), (Stralman, Hedman)
11:52 PIT Downie (6), (Crosby, Spaling)
19:55 PIT Downie (7), (Letang, Crosby)(EN)
I have some complaints with some shady things that happened in this game, but ultimately the Lightning shot themselves in the foot in this game. Stralman allowed his pocket to be picked on the very first shift of the game that led to a minor penalty and a power play goal, and the team instantly fell behind the eight ball. Stamkos made a turnover at the Lightning blueline on the third goal to put the team down 3-0 in the First Period, which is a crusher you try to avoid, and then two Lightning defenders get beat behind the net on a 50/50 puck by Crosby leading to Downie's insurance goal less than a minute after Killorn drew it to 4-3.
Now, the shady stuff still needs to be mentioned. On the second Penguins goal, Malkin hits the post and the Pittsburgh arena folks decide to blow the goal horn and fire up a strobe light on Bishop's crease as Ebbett comes in to score on the ensuing chance. Later, on the Ehrhoff goal to help Pittsburgh re-establish a 2 goal lead after Hedman pulled it to 3-2, you had a situation where a Pens stick was actually stuck in Stralman's visor before the rush that led to the goal and the ref actually came over to help Stralman and didn't make a call. Lunacy. Both of those plays were minor league/bush league quality stuff, and then we later got to witness Crosby rear naked choke out Connolly on a goal mouth scrum and get away with nothing called, just to add insult to injury. None of the above incidents are why the Lightning lost, but they're troubling examples of why you feel like the Lightning have to be THAT MUCH BETTER against a league darling like the Pens to realistically have a chance to win. It's shameful, really.
The same things keep happening night after night that end up being the difference between winning and losing and I don't see them improving consistently. The brain fart turnovers by veteran players just can't continue to happen. Details matter against quality teams like Pittsburgh. The power play (0-for-3 tonight) continues to come up dry at key points of the game and the guys who are supposed to be the team's best skaters (Stamkos and Callahan) continue to struggle to find the scoresheet consistently. When you sprinkle in that the team still is trying to figure out how Drouin fits into the puzzle, it's a maddening mystery soup right now. If these things start to get corrected, it's easy to see this team becoming a juggernaut. If they don't, it's just as easy to see how this thing could start to go pear-shaped.
With the loss, the Lightning finish the 4th 10-game segment of the season with 11 points, 1 point shy of the 12 point minimum target. They entered with 5 insurance points, fortunately, so they still have 4 insurance points heading into segment 5. The team's at a bit of a crossroads right now, though, and this is why Jon Cooper gets paid the big bucks.
Cedric Paquette was -2 with 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 15:39. He was on the ice for the Stamkos turnover goal and that abomination Ehrhoff goal, so I can't be too mad. Still, I keep wondering if and when a shakeup gets made if Paquette may end up having to go down to make way for Namestnikov.
Jonathan Drouin was -1 with 1 shot, 4 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 11:54. He, also, was on the ice for the Stamkos turnover goal. I really wish the coaching staff would figure out a role for Drouin and a set of linemates and stick with it. The kid's skill level is off the charts. He makes stick handling moves with the pace and violence of a boxer's punches, and his playmaking abilities are very evident. There's just no continuity with how he's being used, though, and he's the kind of player where I think linemates need to get used to him because of what a high-level setup guy he is.

NHL Game Night: 12-31-14 Lightning at SabresSubmitted by pete on December 31, 2014 - 20:48
Lightning open a Third Period can of beat down.
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed 1 goal on 11 shots (not a typo) for the victory. He made a handful of key saves while the game was tight and the only goal he did allow was a point shot that deflected off of Hedman's stick and took a crazy bounce in on net.
First Period
7:48 TB Carle (4), (Palat)
12:33 BUF Ennis (9), (Zadorov, Moulson)(PP)
Second Period
19:02 TB Palat (9), (Johnson, Kucherov)(PP)
Third Period
5:20 TB Connolly (7), (Stralman, Palat)
8:40 TB Kucherov (16), (Johnson, Stralman)
18:05 TB Kucherov (17), (Palat, Johnson)
Ondrej Palat, Nikita Kucherov, and Tyler Johnson were the game's three stars.
The Lightning, for about 30 minutes, didn't look like they wanted to be in Buffalo (well, yeah). In the Third Period, they outshot Buffalo 14-1 and absolutely dismantled the young Sabres. It was a clinic put on by the triplets line to put 2014 to bed the right way.
Now, here's the interesting part: the Lightning now have 11 points in this 10-game segment of the season with 1 more game to play. Despite all their struggles this month, they may still hit 12 points over this 10-game stretch, and at a minimum, they'll have 4 insurance points heading into the second half of the campaign. Nice.
Cedric Paquette had 3 hits and 1 blocked shot and was 40% on draws in 17:00 of ice time. He had the hit of the game smoking Josh Gorges after a failed breakaway by Steven Stamkos.
Jonathan Drouin had 1 shot in 14:08.
Nikita Nesterov was +1 in 15:02 in his NHL debut. He made a key play breaking up a 2-on-1 that nearly resulted in a goal at the other end when Stamkos hit a crossbar. In all, he wasn't noticeable, but that's a positive for a rookie d-man.

NHL Game Night: 12-29-14 Maple Leafs at LightningSubmitted by pete on December 29, 2014 - 22:23
Getting right...
Ben Bishop allowed goals on the first 2 shots of the game. He stopped all 21 shots he faced thereafter for the victory.
First Period
4:28 TOR Santorelli (8), (Kadri, Phaneuf)
7:47 TOR Lupul (9), (Bozak, Kessel)
Second Period
6:37 TB Callahan (12), (Stamkos, Hedman)(PP)
9:46 TB Filppula (7), (Hedman, Callahan)
Third Period
11:05 TB Stamkos (20), (Carle)
Steven Stamkos, Ryan Callahan, and Victor Hedman were the game's three stars. Isn't it funny how when the Lightning's biggest stars get their games going, it takes the Lightning from a mediocre team to a team that can dominate like they did tonight (shot totals 41-23 for the Lightning)? This game was important in that it allowed the Lightning to get those star players on track, allowed them to exorcize some power play demons, and allowed them to make an example of an Atlantic Division foe they'll be fighting with for position for the next couple of months.
Cedric Paquette was -1 with 4 shots, 3 hits, and 3 blocked shots in 13:39. I thought he played an excellent game on the PK, even springing Hedman for a First Period breakaway, and he was on the ice for the last shift of the game with the team protecting the one goal lead.
Jonathan Drouin was +1 with 1 shot in 11:43. Stats tend not to show what he brings to the table in games. He drew a minor penalty in the First Period with a dazzling stickhandling display after falling down and then at the end of the Second Period nearly set up a goal after a world class keep-away exhibition in the offensive zone and a sharp snap pass to the side of the Leafs cage. He is slicker than an oil spill when he's got the puck.

Juniors Game Night: 12-27-14Submitted by chad on December 28, 2014 - 11:08

NHL Game Night: 12-27-14 Hurricanes at LightningSubmitted by pete on December 27, 2014 - 22:01
As dominant a 2-1 win as you can get.
Ben Bishop allowed 1 goal on 26 shots for the victory in his return from injury. He didn't have to make many key saves, but when they came he got them.
First Period
8:50 TB Kucherov (15), (Palat)
Second Period
Third Period
4:53 TB Killorn (8), (Callahan, Filppula)
14:04 CAR Sekera (2), (E. Staal, Gerbe)
Ondrej Palat, Alex Killorn, and Ryan Callahan were the game's three stars. I'll throw a shout out to Mark Barberio in there, who played his best all-around game since he was AHL Defenseman of the Year for the Norfolk Admirals.
If the Lightning had capitalized on their PP opportunities (0-for-6) the game wouldn't have been close. As it was, the chances were there but they were snake bitten. So, that's at least a sign things are progressing in the right direction.
Cedric Paquette had 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 12:42. He was also 20% on draws. He kept up reasonably well playing with Stamkos and Connolly.

You can't assume that the next time you pull your FAKO, it will be within 5 points of whatever specific FICO version a lender is using. And neither FICO nor FAKO is going to track with an internal scoring algorithm. It just happened to be close based on the information that is on your report currently.

Ordinary Investors Anxious Over Wall St. Woes
The financial turmoil on Wall Street has the average investor worried. Hugh Johnson of the money management firm Johnson Illington says he's been getting a high volume of emotional calls lately. Everyone wants to know what's going on with the market, and should they rebalance their portfolios.
Johnson tells Renee Montagne that he tries to soothe investors' nerves. He cautions them that while this is a severe financial crisis his advice is to hold tight. Like any downturn in stock prices, or bear market that's accompanied by a recession, Johnson says it will eventually be followed by a bull market and a recovery in stock prices.

Sold For £21,000
- Shortened chassis fitted with Syd Lawrence bodywork
- Automatic transmission
- A potent and stylish example with much history
Almost as old as the model itself (which celebrates its sixty ninth anniversary this year), the tradition of building Bentley MKVI-based Specials is a long and proud one. However, very few of the resultant cars can claim to match the specification and performance of 'BDP 218'. Shortened by six inches and carrying a cruciform brace that has been "re-fabricated level with the side rails", its low-slung ladder frame chassis features independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury 4HA rear axle, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes. Further benefiting from negative earth wiring, an alternator and electronic ignition, the rakish two-seater is powered by an early Bentley T-series / Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow type 6230cc OHV V8 engine coupled to three-speed GM automatic transmission. Said to have recorded "250bhp at the back wheels" while being set-up by Sigma Engineering of Dorset in circa 2000, the Bentley employs a relaxed 3.77:1 final drive ratio.
Originally fitted to the Syd Lawrence car 'LXX 981' (see Bentley Specials & Special Bentleys by Ray Roberts), its lightweight fibreglass bodywork has since been modified to accommodate "a partially recessed spare wheel and small cubby box". Sporting a full set of instruments, wood-rim steering wheel, bucket seats, safety harnesses, painted wire wheels, twin aero screens, side-exit exhausts and a solid brass (but chrome-plated) windscreen by Bob Petersen engineering, 'BDP 218' looks every inch the period sportscar.
Finished in British Racing Green with matching leather upholstery, this invigorating Bentley Special was purchased by the vendor in April 2007 since when it has been entrusted to respected specialists Royce Service & Engineering of Betchworth, Surrey who carried out a number of works for him in 2011 totalling over £9,000 for which invoices are on file. Choosing to date the car with reference to its Syd Lawrence bodywork (deemed to be the newest major component) rather than the 1950 donor chassis or running gear, the DVLA settled on 1974 as the year of manufacture when 'BDP 218' was re-registered in 1999. Reportedly a hoot to drive on the open road (and yet manageable around town thanks to its automatic gearbox and power-assisted steering), this scintillating Bentley is offered for sale with a good history file containing invoices, assorted old MoTs, magazine articles, correspondence and photographs. Accompanied by a Swansea V5 document, it is expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale.

Car Compare: 2010's Toyota Prius vs. Honda Insight
See corrections and amplifications below
Fans of hybrid cars have anticipated the arrival of the 2010 Toyota Prius and Honda HMC 2.98 % Insight. Now that both cars are on sale, their performance and technology seem underwhelming, even disappointing.
Instead of leaping ahead in fuel-saving performance, the new gasoline-electric powered cars are similar in capability to hybrid models that have been on the road for years. In some ways, they fall short of economy cars built in the 1980s.
Shoppers may wonder what happened to the light, powerful lithium batteries that were the buzz among hybrid enthusiasts and supposed to improve performance by giving the cars enough battery power to run on their electric motors alone for extended distances. Some Prius owners have modified their cars with batteries and plug-in charging that allow them to travel dozens of miles using only electric power, so it seems the Toyota and Honda factories could at least offer something similar.
Car Compare Chart
But both Toyota and Honda say lithium batteries are too fragile for day-to-day use in mass market cars. These are the same batteries that overheated and started fires when they were first used in some laptop computers about 15 years ago. Plug-in systems may sound appealing, but they add weight and can decrease overall battery life. While more advanced power systems are in the works, the carmakers say, they aren't yet ready for sale.
So we are left comparing two cars that still offer among the highest fuel economy ratings on the market even if their technology doesn't intrigue us as it once did. Toyota's redesigned 2010 Prius is the third generation of a car that arrived in the U.S in late 2000 as a 2001 model. Rival Honda first started selling the Insight in a two-door version earlier that year, but took it off the market in 2006. After an almost four-year gap, it is bringing the Insight back as a four-door.
With room for five passengers, the 2010 Insight is more practical than its two-seat predecessor. The Prius improves on the previous version with more interior space, smoother handling and livelier engine performance. Both cars have shed much of the quirkiness, such as clunky transitioning between engines, that may have kept some mainstream buyers from considering them. However, buyers who were drawn by the cars' unique traits may find the latest versions bland. The new models have better handling and wider, softer tires for a cushier ride. They are also more powerful than previous models, though I wouldn't call either one speedy. Still, their acceleration isn't as painfully slow as it used to be -- especially the Prius, which gets a bigger boost from its electric motor than the Insight. When you stomp on the gas with the Prius, it feels reasonably lively.
For buyers seeking the most fuel-efficient hybrid, the decision is easy. The Prius delivers more of what attracts people to hybrids. Its fuel economy is several miles per gallon better than the Insight's, and it feels smoother and more powerful in day-to-day driving. Most compelling for me was that the Prius is truly fun to drive, at least in the way hybrid drivers define fun. I even caught myself in a game, trying to set personal miles-per-gallon records.
With a price range of $22,000 to $27,270, the Prius is about $2,000 to $4,000 more expensive than the Insight, which starts at $19,800. But the Prius looks, feels and sounds more developed–like a finished, high-quality project.
The 2010 Prius' shape is more stylish, with wing-shaped headlights and sharper front grille openings, giving it a more aggressive look than the relatively tame previous model. Creased body panels and more noticeable flared fenders make the new Prius seem more muscular. Designers moved the high point of the roof back slightly on the new model–just far enough to make it look sleeker and less like an armadillo. Inside, the clean design of its seats, dashboard and doors give it a minimal elegance that fits the car's purpose.
The Insight still feels slightly like a science project. In traffic, it looks like it might be new–but could also be an early-1990s leftover like a Subaru SVX or Ford Probe. Its seats are more attractive and its cup holders better-designed than the Prius's. But the rest of the interior is cluttered with too many competing textures and shapes. Round knobs clash with trapezoidal buttons, and the brushed-metal look of the center console doesn't flow well with the plastic dashboard trim that has the appearance of woven fabric. Hard plastic brings a cheap feel to door panels, storage hatches and other surfaces the driver and passengers touch often.
That being said, the 2010 Insight is a big improvement in comfort and practicality over the old two-door, two-seat model–it has room for a family and looks and drives more like a standard car. Its hybrid system is less evident mainly because the gasoline engine runs almost constantly, so there's no switching between gas and electric.
On the road, the Prius convincingly outshines the Insight. Because it can start up and cruise on electric power alone, it invites people to set personal records in miles-per-gallon. This requires careful, deliberate driving and enough gamesmanship to add a challenge to every trip. We turned the two-mile trip to our sons' preschool into an engaging contest. One day we glided across town running mainly on the battery. The gasoline engine started only during a couple of uphill stretches and as we accelerated quickly from a stoplight. When we arrived in the parking lot, the fuel-economy gauge on the dashboard read 66 miles per gallon. The next day we timed the traffic lights better and scored 72 mpg.
The Insight, in contrast, can cruise on battery power but always starts off under the gasoline engine's power. Its electric motor is less powerful than the Prius's, so it works mainly to assist the gasoline engine. As a result, the car's hybrid qualities are more transparent–and less satisfying.
Compared with regular cars, the new Honda and Toyota come closer than earlier hybrids to performing as smoothly and predictably as regular cars. Both have engines that are among the smallest available in cars sold in the U.S. As a result, both accelerate slowly compared with pure gasoline-powered cars. Merging with highway traffic can be difficult when the acceleration lane is short--and downright daunting when there is no acceleration lane.
But for those looking to be green, the Insight and Prius are still solid models. Of course the pleasure would be all the more acute if they had the plug-in capability and lithium batteries hybrid fans desire. Toyota says these features may be years away, but I would wait for them before buying a new Prius.
In the meantime I'd look for a well-kept 2002 or 2003 Prius. These first-generation models hold a place of honor in the hybrid movement. Perhaps passersby would mistake me for an early adopter.
Corrections & Amplifications: The Toyota Prius was first launched in 2000. The article previously stated that it arrived in 1999.

Ride Cincinnati 2016 Start Times
Important Note: Helmets are mandatory for all riders and all ride distances.
Honor a survivor or remember one that was lost. Ride Cincinnati is honoring locals who have battled or are currently battling breast cancer by placing honor miles along the course to celebrate the strength and story of those who have been impacted by this disease, both living and deceased.
Each sponsored mile will feature a large photo of the honoree and some brief background information. Friends, family and co-workers of those honored are encouraged to meet on that mile to celebrate the honoree with cheers. Each sponsored mile asks for a minimum $500 donation.
If you're interested in reserving an honor mile for someone special in your life, please contact Kathryn Macke: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Past participant? Looking to connect with other riders? Follow us on our social media pages for up-to-the-minute information and details or join the conversation by using #RideCincinnati and tag your friends!
Can't ride but interested in volunteering for Ride Cincinnati? To learn more and sign up, visit http://www.signupgenius.
Sunday's event will proceed as normal, but certain changes may be necessary due to weather. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Safety is paramount. Ride Cincinnati will post updates on www.ridecincinnati.org and on our Facebook page if changes occur. If nothing is posted, the event will proceed as planned.
If conditions are unsafe to start one of the particular distances, we will make every attempt to start at the next scheduled start time. For instance, if weather prohibits the 63 mile start at 6:30 a.m., we will attempt to start the 63 mile cyclists at 7:00 a.m. with the 45 mile ride. This would, in effect, reduce the longest available distance to 45 miles, and no official support would be provided beyond the 45 mile turnaround.
If the weather changes, or if you hear thunder or see lightning, it is your responsibility to take immediate action and seek shelter. As you travel outbound on Route 8, be looking for possible shelter if it becomes necessary to return. Beyond the 26 mile turnaround at Pendery Park, Route 8 becomes more rural, and opportunities for shelter are fewer. It is recommended to bring a smartphone and check radar on the internet prior to proceeding beyond this point. If you do not have one, someone around you will. According to the National Weather Service, lightning calls for a thirty minute delay. Shorten your distance if necessary.
It may become necessary to close refreshment stops early due to weather. A large Penske box truck will be on the route to signify the point of closure. No services or support can be provided beyond this point. In addition, various police municipalities may be advising participants if the road is unsafe and the route must be closed. Ride Cincinnati does not have the means to provide return transport for participants in the case of inclement weather. Plan accordingly.
Mild to heavy fog is common on Route 8 after a rain, reducing not only your visibility but the visibility of those around you in vehicles and on bikes. Be prepared and bring rain gear, including neon or brightly colored jackets, vests or shirts. Additionally, as the road follows along the river valley the entire way, water may be flowing onto the road from the hillside. Water does not drain quickly on Route 8 and standing water may be present. Be prepared to dismount if necessary and warn the cyclists behind you. Wet tires will affect your ability to brake, so give yourself extra time to stop.
The Celebration and Awards Ceremony will take place, but may be delayed or shortened if necessary.
Ride Cincinnati is unable to provide an alternative rain date. As this is a fundraiser for breast cancer research, no refunds or exchanges. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support of our efforts to eradicate breast cancer. Delays and closures will be at the discretion of the Ride Director.

What is my heart rate recovery zone (in terms of percentage of MHR)?
I've been keeping track of my heart rate using a heart rate monitor with two zones, HRR, etc. But I really haven't drawn any benefit from it. I don't really use the results to train for anything. What can I do with all this data?
I read that Heart Rate Recovery Time is one of the best indicators of training. My HRM lets you set a recovery zone (high hr and low hr) and then reports the time it takes to go from the high to the low. But I have no idea what zone to configure. Also, what is the best way to measure HRR? Obviously, if I enter the HRR range and then do something active, it will keep my HR from getting to that low, and so won't be a very objective measure of HRR time. Any ideas?
Some biostatistics: I'm 26 years old, and a serious cyclist (thinking about racing). My resting heart rate is around 55, and my maximum observed heart rate from the past year is 202.

My parents held a rehearsal dinner at the X&O Restaurant in Stoughton last week and it was great. I'll have to check with my mother about the pricing, but it was great as far as location goes.
We were in a back room that could fit up to around 40. There were pool tables directly outside of the room so people played a few games after dinner. Food was great! We had a choice of baked scrod, roast beef w/mushroom sauce, or chicken parm.
Just thought I would share! My brother and his wife actually had their wedding reception there too, but that was downstairs in a big function room. Also great, but not sure of the prices. Worth checking out!

The former longtime president of an eastern Carolina university has died.
Bruce Whitaker, 87 years-old, who was a past president at Chowan University from 1957 through 1989, passed away Tuesday in Murfreesboro.
Whitaker's 32 year tenure as president at Chowan witnessed the progress of that institution from a small, struggling school with largely parochial interest and appeal to a nationally recognized two-year, church-related, liberal arts college.
A celebration of Whitaker's life will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 9, at Wake Forest Baptist Church in Wake Forest.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Bruce and Esther Whitaker Scholarship, Chowan University, 1 University Place, Murfreesboro, North Carolina 27855.

KUALA LUMPUR: A businesswoman lost her case against Bakri MP Er Teck Hwa and Tangkak assemblyman Ee Chin Li for defaming her in a Chinese daily and a Facebook posting.
High Court judge Justice Hue Siew Kheng said that she agreed that the publications had conveyed that the businesswoman Ong Bing Hong, 45, was a quarrelsome, hot-tempered and unreasonable person.
"The words are defamatory of the plaintiff," she said in her ruling.
However, Justice Hue ruled that the defence of justification and fair comment was applicable for the DAP parliamentarian and assemblyman in the case.
"I do not accept that the plaintiff went to give a motivational talk at the cemetery in the morning," she said in dismissing the claim.
She ordered the direct sales businesswoman to pay RM10,000 in costs to each defendant.
In her suit, Ong, who is also the president of Direct Sales Association of Malaysia, said that both defendants had caused the lodging of two police reports at the Kota Tinggi police station on Sept 11, 2012 defaming her.
Ong said that both defendants had authorised the publication of defamatory words against her in Chinese newpaper Kwong Wah Yit Poh on Sept 12, 2012.
She said Er had later also posted the contents of his press release on his Facebook.
Among others, Ong said the words had implied that she was rude and had disrupted the peace of the people who were holding a prayer ceremony at a cemetery.
In her amended claim filed on Jan 23, 2013, she sought RM1.5mil each in damages from Er and Ee, who is also Johor DAP Youth secretary.
She wanted an injunction to restrain the defendants from further publishing defamatory remarks against her.
The defendants, however, said in their court papers that they witnessed the incident on Aug 19, 2012 where Ong and a group of people came to the Chinese cemetery at Telok Empang in Johor where a group of supporters of Gabungan NGO Pengerang were camped and created a commotion there.
They said that the NGO was holding an overnight camp to protest the Government's decision to acquire the Chinese cemetery to set up a petro chemical plant in Tanjung Pengerang, Johor.
Ong was represented by lawyer Chan Tse Yuen while counsel N.S.Guok appeared for the defendants.

2011-2015 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500 / 3500 HD 2.25" Leveling Kit - Torsion Keys
- For 8-Lug Vehicles; Raises Your Truck Up to 2.25"
- Maximum Tire Diameter: 33"
- Does not "over crank" torsion bar; Includes Shock Extensions (Black Finish)
- Gain tire and ground clearance
Mfg Part # : 66-3011
2011-UP Chevy Silverado and GM Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD FORGED TORSION LEVELING KEYS!
General Motors introduces the new 2011-UP 2500HD/3500HD platform and READYLIFT® responds by developing the strongest, safest leveling key system on the market. The ReadyLift 66-3011 2011-UP Silverado/Sierra HD Forged Leveling Key kit uses ReadyLift's time tested engineering technology to bring to market exactly what ReadyLift customers demand.
The new GM 2500 HD suspension required developing an entirely new leveling kit system, a system that includes Forged Torsion Leveling Keys engineered to give the 2011-UP GM 2500/3500 HD trucks a level stance while maintaining the factory ride. Even more important is that ReadyLift is the only company to offer a forged torsion key that is both 25% stronger than OEM key and designed using the same features as the OEM key. Some important areas such as the wider keyway shoulder have been maintained with the ReadyLIFT leveling key. It is important to understand that the 2011-2015 HD trucks have an entirely new suspension design that is twice as large as the previous model. The factory design specific structural features in the 2011 key requirements and ReadyLift chose to maximize those same features in our new forged torsion key. You won't see other companies doing the research that ReadyLIFT does. Most of the 2011-2015 on the market use previous model design elements which are not designed for use on a much bigger and heavier 2011-2015 2500/3500 HD truck!
The NEW 66-3011 Leveling Kit includes two new Forged Torsion Keys, four front shock extensions which allows the customer to retain the use of the stock shocks, and four new shock mounting nuts for a precise and professional installation. Each key and shock spacer is protected with a durable e-coated finish to prevent rusting commonly found on other keys. Allows for the installation of larger aftermarket plus-size tires and wheels. READYLIFT® offers a Lifetime Warranty on all of its products. From light-duty to heavy-duty Trucks or SUV's, READYLIFT® is the SMART way to lift and your truck.
NOTE: 2011-2015 GM HD trucks require the use of ReadyLIFT 66-7816A Universal Torsion Key Unloading Tool.
Features & Benefits:
- Keep stock suspension "feel" while raising the 2011-UP GM 2500/3500 HD truck 2.25" in the front which is the required lift to achieve a level stance.
- Gain tire and ground clearance
- Kits include important front shock extensions and hardware.
- Stock ride quality retained when properly installed.
- Easily removed for leased vehicles
- Guaranteed for the life of your vehicle
- The fastest, least expensive way to level or lift your truck
- The Strongest and Safest Forged Torsion Key Leveling system on the market today!
ReadyLIFT® Torsion Key
- Forged for ultimate strength
- Safely raises trucks up to 2.25 inches for a level stance
- Does not "over crank" torsion bar
About ReadyLift Parts & Accessories
ReadyLift Suspension Inc. was founded on the principals of developing a line of economical suspension leveling products that would allow Truck and SUV owners to be able to "level" their vehicle in order to install Plus-size wheels and tires.

really good recipie ! I did add some home made ranch dressing to top it off...
Very tasty. My 5 year old son said "These are sooo good"...definitely not a typical comment from him about dinner. I did cook my onions in a cast iron skillet on the stove this time though...just seemed easier. I also added spinach leave, ketchup, mustard, and relish.
One of the BEST burgers I've eaten! Very simple ingredients but very tasty! Cooked mine in a fry pan on the stove - no oil or spray needed. Very juicy - have made twice so far. DH and I love them. We have eaten them without the bun, but tonight...buns! Instead of adding the oregano to the onions, I use 1/4 tsp and add it in with the meat. This is a keeper recipe, for us :)
One of my favorite WW recipes!

Life Insurance Coverage
GDIS offers term life insurance available in an increasing term or level term policy. A traditional term policy is guaranteed renewable with premiums increasing annually. Level term policies are guaranteed renewable and have level rates for the first 10, 15, 20, or 30 years. After the level term period ends, premiums would increase annually.
Term life insurance provides for life insurance coverage for a specified term of years for a specified premium. The policy does not accumulate cash value. Term is generally considered pure coverage, where the premium buys protection in the event of death and nothing else. Term insurance premiums are typically low because both the insurer and the policy owner agree that the death of the insured is unlikely during the term of coverage.
Term assurance is a straightforward protection business. A policy holder insures his or her life for a specified term. If he or she dies before that specified term is up, his or her estate or named beneficiary(ies) receive(s) a payout. If he or she does not die before the term is up, he or she receives nothing.
