I again defer to the 'gods of gun powder and steel' for assistance, I purchased a used 22..a Lakefield Model 64B .22 Semi. from this site....nice little gun. Works very smoothly once I figured out the type of bullet it likes, fussy little bugger. Now, I am a lazy old man and hate stopping to reload a mag. So, I have a couple questions,
!. Where can I purchase several more magazines for this rifle. It takes a 10 shot metal clip.
2. Can it be modified or is there a larger clip that will fit it? If so where would I get this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Former Arizona swimmer Annie Chandler (San Antonio, Texas) is one of 30 honorees chosen for the 2011 NCAA Woman of the Year award, the NCAA announced on Tuesday. The award is chosen by a selection committee of representatives from various NCAA schools and conferences. This year a record 471 nominations were submitted for the award that will be presented later this fall.
The Woman of the Year Award, now in its 21st year, honors female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academic achievement, athletic excellence, community service and leadership. The prestigious program also involves a community service initiative that gives honorees the opportunity to interact with each other and with young girls in the city of Indianapolis who look to them as role models.
Sharon Beverly, NCAA Woman of the Year selection chair and director of athletics & physical education at Vassar College, describes the award as one of the highest and most prestigious honors presented to a female student-athlete each year.
"This award catapults the recipient into the next phase of her life and paves the way for a successful future in any chosen profession," Beverly said. "When you consider the academic and athletic accomplishments of each of the candidates for this award and the ways they have given back to society, the Woman of the Year honorees are the top echelon of NCAA role models."
Every NCAA member institution is encouraged to honor its top graduating female student-athlete by submitting her name for consideration. Each conference assesses the eligibility of its members' nominees and selects at least one student-athlete to represent the conference. To be eligible for the award, a female student-athlete must have completed intercollegiate eligibility in her primary sport by the end of the 2011 spring season, graduated no later than the end of the summer 2011 term and achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5.
The NCAA recently honored 142 women representing NCAA athletic conferences and independent schools for their accomplishments. The selection committee will now narrow the Top 30 to three finalists from each division to form the Top Nine, which will be announced in early September. The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics will select the national winner from the Top Nine honorees. The 2011 NCAA Woman of the Year will be announced during the Woman of the Year dinner in Indianapolis on Oct. 16. Last year's NCAA Woman of the Year was Justine Schluntz, a 2010 Rhodes Scholar, swimmer and mechanical engineering major, from the University of Arizona.
Chandler was named Pac-10 Woman of the Year earlier this month.

What's a Clean Show without a little fun, especially in New Orleans? While entertainment tastes vary, it would be hard to believe that many other U.S. cities could offer such a unique variety of choices, so enjoy yourself at the show June 18-21.If you haven't visited New Orleans in the past, putting together a game plan can pose a challenge — there's just so much to do. Here are some things to think about as you plan your trip, along with some specific recommendations. Don't forget that New Orleans is a walking city; a good number of restaurants and attractions may be near your hotel.RESTAURANTSClassic French, Italian and Spanish restaurants are plentiful. If you favor something with a local flavor, it's easy to be tempted by the city's signature Cajun and Creole dishes. If you enjoy seafood, you've also come to the right place. The only problem you may have is trying to decide what to select from the menu: shrimp, redfish, crawfish, catfish or oysters.New Orleans is also home to such local staples as red beans and rice, the various gumbos and etouffees, jambalaya, sausages, shrimp remoulade, and, of course, sugary-sweet pralines.Looking for more? Here are some additional dining tips:
- Antoine's, established in 1840, is a tradition. Equally famous are Commander's Palace, Court of Two Sisters and K-Paul's, to name just a few.
- If you're going to spend a good portion of your day at the Morial Convention Center and don't plan to break for lunch, you might want to consider Brennan's for breakfast, where bananas Foster was made famous.
- If you don't have time for a traditional sit-down meal, grab a muffuletta sandwich, which is available at plenty of establishments. The typical muffuletta sandwich, served on a large portion of Sicilian bread, is covered with a marinated olive salad, then layers of capicola, salami, mortadella, emmantaler, and provolone.
- For lighter morning fare, or a great snack at any time, try cafe au lait (Cajun coffee with milk) and beignets (square sugary donuts) at the original Café du Monde in the French Market.
- Recent restaurant additions include Nola, Palace Café, GW Fins, and Drago.
CULTURE AND ARTNew Orleans boasts world-class museums, including Smithsonian affiliates The National World War II Museum (located in the Warehouse/Arts District) and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Artist studios and galleries line the streets of the French Quarter/Marigny, Warehouse/Arts District, and Magazine Streets.Performing arts groups, their shows, and the venues that host them speckle the map. Walking through the French Quarter's narrow streets, there often is reason to pause for impromptu entertainment by the street performers who abound in the Quarter.GOLF AND THE GREAT OUTDOORSFrom private clubs with reciprocal arrangements to many high-end public and resort tracks, golf is easy, close, affordable and accessible, the city boasts. Courses are open every day of the year.If you're out and about, you can also check out:
- New Orleans Jazz National Historic Park
- Audubon Zoo
- Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve
- New Orleans City Park
- New Orleans Botanical Garden
- Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
SHOPPINGThere are hundreds of shops and boutiques along Magazine Street and artistic offerings in Jackson Square. At Riverwalk, adjacent to the Morial Convention Center, visitors can stroll along the crescent-shaped bend in the Mississippi that gives the city its nickname, "the Crescent City." The promenade offers broad vistas of the waterborne commerce that makes New Orleans one of the nation's leading ports.Royal Street — just a block away from Bourbon Street — is where you will find New Orleans' sophisticated antique shops. A leisurely stroll along Royal Street gives you access to the perfect piece of jewelry, work of art or furnishing.On the east side of the Quarter is the French Market and open-air Flea Market. Here, shoppers can browse and bargain for a mind-boggling array of goods — native and imported — for as long as your endurance and wallet will allow. Vendors often share stories about their wares, be they native gator heads, African artifacts or bounteous collections of T-shirts and Mardi Gras souvenirs.Click here to see Part 2 of this story!

At present, the legacy RPG products are costly on Amazon.co.uk. Something I object to. It´s unwise to set prices of information so high by people who seek to promote an honest atmosphere. True, it works for salvagers like myself, but business conducted between people and the Internet differs greatly. The machine cannot supplant the man.

Sylvia Earle: How to Protect the Oceans (TED Prize Winner)
Legendary ocean researcher Sylvia Earle shares astonishing images of the ocean—and shocking stats about its rapid decline—as she makes her TED Prize wish: that we will join her in protecting the vital blue heart of the planet.

Sadly we are a species ruled by money and profit and those who do profit have too much power. Still I can only hope that Sylvie Earle got people to pay attention and will do as she asks in her very powerful speech. Such beauty and so much life and so many think nothing about what is happening nor do they care. Hopefully these people will. What needs to happen is that limits-sever ones-are put in place and the trash is dealt with somehow. Unlike Sylvia Earle though we are not my favorite species but my least favorite. While the land may be more protected the animals who live there are not as wolves are wantonly killed along with many other species. We are not a kind species as a rule and I am not proud to be a member even with people like Sylvia Earle. I am glad she is here though to speak on behalf of the oceans and the beings who live there. An eloquent speech which I hope made a difference to those who heard her.

Dr. Joseph Zolot is on trial in federal court charged with causing the deaths of six of his patients through the "irresponsible" prescription of powerful pain killers. The trial is raising interesting questions that challenge the fields of pain management and drug addiction. While there are many people with chronic, sometimes debilitating pain, there are many others that use the subjectivity of their experience to present with exaggerated symptoms and feed a drug addiction.
Dr. Zolot practiced in Needham from 2003 to 2007 and is described by one pain management colleague as compassionate and following accepted protocols for treating chronic pain. Prosecution witnesses, however note that he consistently missed key indicators of drug addiction in his patients, including ignoring their disclosures to him that they were in fact addicted and abusing prescribed and other drugs. Zolot and his former nurse practitioner, Lisa Pliner, are charged with conspiracy and drug trafficking in a case that began in the courts in June of this year.
Most doctors and health care professionals are in fact not trained in assessing and treating substance use and addictive disorders. Addiction may hide itself in many ways and learning how to assess someone's behavior for addiction issues is a highly specialized set of techniques that most health care professionals never learn. This lack of training is often complicated by the nature of pain management which at times calls for the use of highly addictive medications.
The drugs used by Zolot include methadone, fentanyl and oxycodone, all heavy duty pain killers but all with highly addictive properties and very high value on the street. Other similar drugs that are at risk for abuse are Vicodin and Percocet.
In addition to medications, there are other means to manage chronic pain. Physical therapy, stretching exercises, yoga, meditation and acupuncture have all proven useful in the management of long-term pain.
It is unclear how many of these alternatives Dr. Zolots utilized in his pain management practice or if, in fact, he was simply providing addictive drugs to many who were addicted when they got to him or became addicted through his treatment.

Best piece of luggage I have ever owned
I have had this bag for over four years. Structurally it is in excellent shape and I don't really need a new one. But with 85+ trips, the fabric, understandably starts to frey a little bit. So, I will hand this off to my college-bound kid and get myself a new one. Best piece of luggage I have ever owned.

In her own words...
About this work
The following sample of ruminations, souvenirs, anecdotes, conversations, flights, captures, voices, and futile opinions has been written down to provide a view of an American artist who for nearly half of her life was an international one by reason of living abroad. That such a pattern of space and time is decisive in shaping late thoughts is indisputable. That it shapes the artist's inner vision and fundamental worth is of course absurd. Such a view can only apply to thirsty talents ever ready to soak up the colored inks of their peers no matter where they find them.
The other reason for the book is Max Ernst. An obsessive desire to talk of this very great man, to evoke our shared thirty-four years, to bring him into focus, to brush aside for a little the enigma that he has presented to most people, in short, to make him available and alive as I knew him to be. This, and the firm belief that only I can provide certain fundamental truths about us, have kept me happy in the telling of them.
–"Author's Note," p. 7.
Birthday was published in 1986 by The Lapis Press, Santa Monica. It has also been translated in French, Swedish, German, and Japanese editions. In 2004, an expanded version of this memoir was published under the title Between Lives.
Henry Geldzahler: To a question about how she worked on the book, she responds, "I write things out like this, scratch, scratch. Then they find their way into my typewriter, which is 50 years old. It's perfect; my thought is matched to the pace of that machine."
—from "Dorothea Tanning: Max Ernst and Me." (Book review.) Elle (April 1987), p. 116.

Bon Secours Foundation and children's care
Bon Secours Health System is a not-for-profit, faith-based organization whose mission is service to others. One of the ways in which we serve is through the Bon Secours Richmond Health Care Foundation. The Foundation responds to critical needs within our own facilities and across Richmond and its surrounding communities by contributing to our System's community health outreach.
Many local families in need receive crisis assistance for emergency payments: rent or mortgage, utility and phone bills, medications, infusions, food, and repairs. The Foundation also provides funds to build, equip and upgrade family and patient areas at our local System's four area hospitals, such as the purchase of computers for the John Beverly Rankin Playroom in the Pediatric Unit, or specialized infant and preemie equipment, furnishings, and instruments in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Larger projects such as the capital campaign for St. Francis Medical Center, attracted many donors through their interest in the innovative women's and children's spaces and services in our newest hospital.
Through the Foundation, Bon Secours supports a range of projects, including:
- Care-A-Van, which provides free shots, school physicals, and vital screenings for young uninsured or under-insured children.
- Controlling Asthma in the Richmond Metropolitan Area (CARMA), which helps children and their families develop lifesaving skills and strategies for asthma self-management.
- Safe Kids, which provides children with much-needed car, bike and pedestrian safety training.
- Forensic Nursing Program, which involves specialized, medical-legal examinations of suspected offenders and victims of violent crime, including sexual assault and child abuse.
We can't do it without you and your support. You can give to the Foundation by following the link below. But you can also get involved in other ways. When Erin Rogers, then a 16 year-old, was at St. Mary's Hospital for back surgery, she found limited recreational facilities for teens. After she went home, she raised money from community leaders through a mail and interview campaign as a component of a school leadership course. That funding provided TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and videos for every pediatric room. She even had enough money left over to provide additional funding for the pediatric library.
With the addition of St. Francis Medical Center south of the James River in 2005, the work of the Foundation has become even wider in scope. As we seek support in our community for all four Bon Secours hospitals, we count on the continuing goodwill of our patrons and are grateful for their endorsement and support. Together, we are building a community of caring that brings the mission of Bon Secours to life every day.
If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation to the Bon Secours Richmond Health Care Foundation, please call 804-287-7700.

Contacts: For Release: Feb. 27, 2012
Steve Karsjen, Ames Lab Public Affairs, 515-294-5643
Homes Schools of Eastern Iowa staged a comeback to win the 2012 Ames Laboratory/Iowa State University Regional Middle School Science Bowl on Feb. 25. The Home Schools team defeated Ames Middle School to advance to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C., April 26-30.
The Home Schools team of Nicholas Leonard, Sarah Weieneth, Grace Talmage, Stephen Carrick and Logan Crittenden initially lost to Ames Middle School 72-30 in the quarterfinals of the double elimination tournament. They then won 64-34 over Stilwell Middle School of West Des Moines in the semifinal match to earn a rematch against Ames for the championship.
Home Schools won the first match 66-24 to give the Ames team of Tifany Chu, Divyesh Kumar, Shafim Khoda, William Crow and Nicholas Leung it first loss of the day. Because each team then had one loss, an extra match was necessary and Home Schools won that 42-26 to take the title. This was Ames Middle School's first appearance in the Ames Lab/ISU Regional in the event's nine-year history.
Stilwell Middle School was third and LeMars finished fourth. A total of 16 teams competed in the academic quiz bowl competition. Besides those mentioned above, the competition included middle schoolers from IKM- Manning, Mediapolis, Notre Dame (Burlington), Dike-New Hartford, St. Albert (Council Bluffs), Evans (Ottumwa), Pella Christian, Harding (Des Moines), Anthon-Oto-Maple Valley, South Hamilton, Madrid, and Williamsburg.
On Friday evening, the same schools competed in a car challenge, racing battery-powered model cars they designed and built. The Pella Christian team of Hanna Vos, Sam Lensing, Holden Hooyer, David Kacmarynski and Noah Griters won the car challenge, beating Notre Dame (Zachary Rashid, Emma Carper, Anna Tillo, Claudius Ciecko and Maggie Brueck) in the championship race. LeMars was third.

March 13 marks the first anniversary of Pope Francis as the leader of the Christian order. In an interesting side note, he has been Pope longer than two of my marriages. He gave up his home, his assets and his worldly possessions to become Pope. Come to think of it, I gave up all that after those marriages. I could have become Pope.
Anyway, it's been rough year for the Pontiff.
He has washed his share of feet, grappled with gay rights and carefully tried to level the field concerning indiscretions by priests as well as abortion. In addition he has come face to face with issues like marriage for priests and allegations of scandal and corruption within the Vatican.
Yet as he walks the tight-rope of his papacy, he has actually kind of made being a Catholic cool, replacing the fad years ago of young Republicans. Attendance is up and the 77-year old Pontiff has millions of followers on his Twitter page. Only Kim Kardashian has more tweets in the pastoral cyberworld.
But the Pope's popularity has soared from Manila to Mexico and he has become the People's Pope to billions.
His everyman persona enables him to mingle with crowds, celebrate St. Valentine's Day and even attend a Halloween costume party.
To celebrate this anniversary Pope Francis is spending it quietly. He and his wife have invited a few friends to dinner at the Red Lobster including Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and his wife, Jay Leno and Father Guido Sarducci. Sister Bertrille is also scheduled to fly in. It's also Pope Francis bobblehead night at Red Lobster. the first hundred customers receive a commerative Pope bobblehead.
In keeping the whole Jesus Fish thing as well as Christ feeding the 5,000 with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, the Holy Father has chosen the whole roasted striped bass off the menu to celebrate along with baskets of warm Cheddar Bay biscuits.
Whole Roasted Striped Bass
1 Whole Striped Bass, 6-7 Lbs. Scaled and Eviscerated
12 Red Potatoes
5 Bay Leaves
8-10 Fresh Rosemary Stalks
2 Tbs. Fresh Thyme, Chopped
6 Lemons, Halved
2 Cups Chardonnay
1 Cup Garlic Olive Oil
Sea Salt/Freshly Ground Black Pepper
¼ Cup Fresh Parsley, Chopped
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cook potatoes in salted water for about 7-8 minutes. Do not cook until soft and done.
In a large roasting pan grease the bottom and sides with garlic oil. Place a sturdy toothpick in the mouth of the bass to prop open and generously brush both sides with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Place lemon and herbs in the cavity of the fish and arrange potatoes around the fish. Add the wine.
Bake for 40-50 minutes uncovered until fish flakes. Remove toothpick from mouth.
Serve on a platter and pour any remaining sauce over it.
Check out the slideshow and video for some highlights of the anniversary celebration.
Happy anniversary everybody.

Friends, as you may know, you can always find key action items right on the front page of our Priests for Life website (priestsforlife.org) in the large ACTION box. In recent days, other leaders and I have been kept particularly busy with concerns on two fronts. One has been the Susan G. Komen Foundation, about whom we have raised the alarm for years concerning their donations to Planned Parenthood. When they recently announced their decision not to donate to Planned Parenthood, that abortion monster of a law-breaking corrupt organization turned on them with meanness and intensity. What hypocrites the organizers of Planned Parenthood are. They will take money from anyone, but as soon as someone expresses concern because they are under investigation (through every fault of their own), they turn on them, bully them, criticize them, and threaten them. I just have one thing to say to Planned Parenthood at this point in time: go away, so we can have a better world.
The other matter, of course, has been the current Presidential Administration's callous disregard for the rights of conscience, through its HHS ruling about requiring religious institutions to cover the cost of abortion-inducing "contraceptives." Wow. It used to be the other side that held up freedom of conscience. How things have changed, and the Church and her leaders are rising to the occasion.
Here my thought is this: why wait until the toothpaste is all over the room before we decide it's better kept in the tube? So many who would not lift a finger to help us in the recent Presidential elections are now trying to work wonders to undo one of the consequences of the election — consequences that could have been avoided had more Churches spoken up, registered voters, and not chased out of the parking lot those who were distributing information about the harmful positions of the candidates. Maybe we will learn this time. There's another election in November, after all!
One more item: you may have heard recently of the death of Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, former Archbishop of Philadelphia. He was a delightful man, and gave much encouragement to Priests for Life over the years. He led the bishops' pro-life committee for some years, and had a deep love for the unborn. May the children give him a warm welcome in God's Kingdom!
Blessings to you today, and thank you all for your good wishes on this, my Birthday! — Fr. Frank

Grandma Forsakes Gambling for Grandkids
September 14, 2012 | By Jodi Thompson | 1 Comment
Veteran cruiser CaroleR's four-day Bahamas cruise aboard Disney Dream was a scouting expedition to see if Disney cruises were a good bet for her grandchildren. She was just sorry to have to relinquish her own betting to do so. She missed gambling in a casino at sea, but wouldn't try bingo for fear it would be too expensive. Other than that and not enough chairs for viewing the fireworks display, she and her two friends were impressed with the Disney experience. Her conclusion: She'd return with her husband, children and grandkids because, "You do get your money's worth." But she'd skip the onboard Disney shops because you could "spend a fortune." Check out her review. For her efforts, CaroleR — along with the four other R.O.W., love the24car, usermom, stormilynne and kayrob — receives a Cruise Critic reusable grocery tote.

It's those onboard shops that help make up for the missing gambling revenue.
Don't get between a Disney fan and his/her Disney swag.

Before My Heart Stops: A Memoir
Paul Cardall
2010 / Shadow Mountain
275 pages (290 including endnotes and index)
Before My Heart Stops is a compelling memoir of pianist/composer Paul Cardall's journey to receiving a heart transplant. Cardall was born with a severe heart defect that essentially left him with half of a functioning heart. He had his first emergency surgery when he was less than a day old and was not expected to survive to see his first birthday. Six major surgeries later, at the age of 36, Cardall was informed that he would not live much longer without a heart transplant. He was also told that he might not survive the transplant procedure itself. He was on the list for a heart transplant for 384 days, with a fair amount of that time spent in the hospital as his condition worsened.
Cardall's book is an inspiring combination of blog entries written during this time as well as narrative chapters that provide background information about Cardall's life. Several of the blog entries were written by Lynnette Cardall, Paul's wife, and one was written by one of his doctors. The blog/journal is so effective in conveying the emotions as well as the events over that period of time that you feel like you're right there with Cardall. The strength of his religious faith (LDS) coupled with his deep love for his wife and daughter kept Cardall determined to beat the odds in order to continue to live for those he loves. Conversely, he was also prepared to accept God's will, should he not survive the surgery. Cardall's positive and optimistic nature and unwavering faith are nothing less than inspiring and life-affirming. I found myself very touched and moved by Cardall's words and I'm sure his music will take on a new meaning for me now that I have an understanding of all he has been through.
Before My Heart Stops is an excellent book from so many perspectives and I strongly recommend it to readers of all ages. It is available from www.paulcardall.com and Amazon. Very highly recommended!

|Interesting blend of characters. Only one bitter on - Youngs Special - which was on good form. Loud dub reggae blaring when I entered (I like dub reggae, so no bother to me). Almost a carnival atmosphere for so early in the evening. Would have to agree with Quinno's summation further below...
Komakino - 12 Mar 2013 20:19
|Change of Landlord apparently in the last month. Dirty glasses and a barman who didn't really have a clue, the beer I had, Bingham's Brickworks was hazy but tasted OK. There is a large traveller's site in Twyford and this pub is frequented by many of them. You are as likely to hear robust opinions said in strong Irish accents than any other. A shabby pub that I will probably not visit again.
Abteilung - 3 Jun 2012 17:27
|Basic but homely pub close to station. 2 binghams beers on - one replaced the Youngs. Ł3.25/pint and beer a little hazy even though a new barrel put on - probably not settle. Shame about games machines - wot they for? Worth a visit for local beer.
Booze_Allen - 2 Jun 2012 12:16
|Great place for a game of killer and a few jars before a bift in stanlake on way home! TGC members regularly frequent this establishment, they are a friendly bunch apart from the one they call 'angry robert earnshaw' stay clear of him! You can tell members by their uniform browns, blue jeans, white or black shirt!

|The Golden Cross (TGC) has been the long standing HQ for South Twyfordians, and TGC members alike. Led by player/manager and landlord (The Chairman), the TGC use this establishment as a base point before planning their strategic hunts in various venues across the local area.
Highly reccomended and very female friendly.

New Zealand rockers, The Naked and Famous are currently on the Into the Night tour with Imagine Dragons. Their tour, as well as other shows, will take them around the US until mid June, and is definitely not a band you should miss.
As the lights dimmed, and the crowd cheered, many in the audience loudly exclaimed their adoration for The Naked and Famous, including a couple marriage proposals toward Alisa. Their first song, "A Stillness," a single off their newest record In Rolling Waves, set an atmospheric tone, with only spotlights shining on the band. Playing a short 9 song set, The Naked and Famous made the best of their time. Powers, who has mastered the art of the hair flip, works as a powerhouse guitarist, and whose vocals fit well with Alisa's.
While the role of singer was split between Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers, Alisa took most of the lead and would split from her spot behind the keys and really shine as a front woman. Her presence at the front of the catwalk was commanding, and she worked her way around to connect with as many people along the barricade. While she admitted that the band wasn't used to playing shows of that capacity, she seemed right at home taking the helm.
With the band's final song "Young Blood" came a roar of applaud and cheers from the audience, as they came to recognize the artists before them. Alisa really shined as front woman as she was able to shed her instrument all together and work her magic at the front. Throughout the entire arena, people were sheering and singing along, many of which were standing at their seats.
I managed to get to the back of arena, at the nosebleed seats, just at the end of their set. Alisa's voice had carried all the way to the back with the same strength as it did on the floor. People were chatting after their set, exclaiming how impressed they were with her vocals as well as the rest of their performance.
The Naked and Famous lead a trend of New Zealand bands making their mark on our soil. With their songs of youth and early success, it'll be interesting to see the direction their music takes as it matures with them.

UAA CI Team attends Fourth Confucius Institute Directors Conference
UAA CI Director and Associate Director traveled to Beijing for the Fourth Confucius Institute Directors Conference and Workshop which took place from December 12th to the 15th. They were joined by Prof. Huang Jiying from Northeast Normal University who joins the senior staff of the UAA CI in January.
The annual Directors Conference gathers together CI Directors and senior staff as well as presidents, chancellors and provosts of the host universities of the now 282 Confucius Institutes in 80 countries worldwide (as well as similar delegations from the 272 Confucius Classrooms) along with people from the many Chinese partner institutions to meet with the senior officers of Hanban to discuss how the work of the Confucius Institutes has progressed over the past year and what can be done to improve our work in the year to come.
Hosting all these people is a considerable logistical challenge which also included a symphony concert and a grand banquet in the Great Hall of the People. The staff of Hanban were very busy but they did a wonderful job.

The workplace is madness! Cthulhu and comedy generally don't work well together, but the writer artist team of Andrew Jack and Natalie Metzger have married the two in the sadistic yet strangely adorable brainchild, "Cthulhu Slippers." The web-comic injects the Cthulhu Mythos into the office drone's everyday life.
In an email interview, writer Andrew Jack explained, that monsters were not always part of the plan. The initial idea that he and co-creator Cameron Gibbs was simply to "[make] fun of the stupid things we went through in our day jobs." Jack continued, "I'm not entirely sure why, but one day one of us added eldritch abominations to the scripts we already had and it suddenly worked." The resultant comic playfully compares the damage wreaked upon the modern world by corporate entities with the civilization-toppling indifference of the creatures waging war on each other within the stories of H.P. Lovecraft.
The comic depicts Cthulhu as a human-sized, pot-bellied corporate overlord with a weakness for girl scout cookies, chips, beer, and his stuffed octopus named Squishy. "Poor Cthulhu, he got the shortest straw," said Jack. "Something went wrong bringing [him] over from the universe he normally inhabits." However, Jack warned that the old monster still lurks beneath his seemingly benevolent exterior.
Artist Natalie Metzger said, "I've always had an enthusiasm for cephalopods, Lovecraftian creatures, and dark humor so when Andrew approached me to do the art for Cthulhu Slippers, I was completely on board for this idea to come to life." She listed Edward Gorey, Scott Kurtz, Shaun Tan and Bobby Chiu as influences on her work. For more monsters by Metzger check out her Month of Monsters project. She also disclosed that she drew Cthulhu in a tweed suit with a bow tie as homage to the 11th Doctor. Even Cthulhu thinks bow ties are cool.
"The response so far to 'Cthulhu Slippers' has been much more than I'd hoped for," said Jack, "a big part due to the support of Mike Davis of the Lovecraft ezine who helps get the word out about new strips." said Jack. However, the comic is a labor of love as it still costs more to operate than it brings in.
Jack also writes short stories and has future plans to publish novels. He maintains the website Andrew Jack Writing, and enjoys the support of his "long-suffering and very employed wife." In addition to a day job as network administrator, Metzger draws the comic "Over-encumbered"and maintains her art blog The Fuzzy Slug. She has worked on 5 comics to date including Cthulhu Slippers.
Watch for new "Cthulu Slippers" comics each Monday. Apparently, black mass in on Tuesday afternoons and participants are asked to "bring sacrificial pie."

Your table is beautiful. I love lilacs too - we have a large bush outside the dining room window, and when it finally blooms I love to open the window wide so that the room fills with their perfume.

We can't grow lilacs here, it's too hot but I found some bundles for sale at my Trader Joe's and danced a happy dance in the aisle! Sighs of happiness for me, thanks to a fragrant start to my day :-)

I do remember all the lilacs at your wedding reception. Could it really be 32 years ago? This is such a beautiful table and the purple is so stunning. Lilacs are my favorite and I remember the big row at our home and the scent they put off. I will be on the look out for those plates when I head south. I am so excited because I was able to post a comment -- haven't been able to all day. Joni

Love this tablescape! A childhood favorite of mine is also Lilacs, they remind me of walks with my Mother to my Grandmothers house. I always get so excited when they are in bloom. Those plates are truly to die for, and so are the goblets. I love your taste!

- Debbie said...
Lilacs are an absolute favorite of mine. We can't grow them here. My mom carried some from her home 1000 miles when she moved. She did grow them, but they were never the lush bushes that I had growing up. They didn't survive our recent drought.
I just love your table. There is not a single part of it that is less than stunning to me, from the flowers to the plates to the goblets. It's a favorite.

Hi Jacqueline, we will celebrate our 31st this summer. I saw those BEAUTIFUL purple and black dishes in HGs and tried to justify adding them to my collection. You did a fabulous job mixing them with other pieces and the scent must be heavenly. Our lilacs in the front yard just started blooming and I could stand there all day. I would love to see photos of your wedding. I'm sure it was glorious. Linda

Very beautiful tablescape. Lilacs were my mother's favorite flower. She was born in my grandparent's home and the room was filled with lilacs. My mom always received lilacs for her birthday throughout her life. Your beautiful post reminded me of how much she loved them.

Hi Jacqueline,
I love the colours of this table. I must agree with you that if I had seen those plates I would have had to have them to. The flatware is very pretty.
Your purple goblets are very similar to a vase that I bought from a thrift store and in the same colour aswell. I think mine was from the 60's.
I'm going to have a good look at your blog, as I'm following it now.

Jacqueline, your table is absolutely beautiful. I love lilacs too! However, I believe the celebration here is in 32 years of marriage. We are celebrating 26 this summer, and people have actually said to us, "Do you realize what an exception you are?" In this day and age, many years of marriage is becoming rare. How sad! CONGRATULATIONS to you both, and best wishes for many more years of love together!

I think I would fly all the way out to Utah (it's Utah, right?) to sit at one of your tables like this stunning purple one. And CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! HOW WONDERFUL!
I'm in love with the deep jewel toned purple goblets in this post!!!! The swirl on the bottom...oooh...I bet it feels divine in the hand!

Love your beautiful table, Jacqueline! While I'm happy that my allergies seem to be FINALLY clearing up, I can now say how much I appreciate my senses of sight and smell. I love to go on walks these days, and after a LONG cold NY winter, I absolutely LOVE the smell of fresh cut grass, and lilacs!! What a beautiful bouquet you have for your table today!... Sorry this comes so late, but a very Happy Anniversary and Best Wishes to both you and your husband! Have a great weekend! ~tina

Every creative movement that has an impact within the insulating world of letters is marred or augmented by the genealogy of its participants: Ezra Pound, as noted for his influence on the works of Eliot as for his Cantos, lost his mind after embracing Fascism; Eliot was shadowed by anti-Semitism. Virginia Woolf did some extraordinary things in imitating consciousness in her novels, but she was a suicidal fruitcake. The list goes on, rolling along like an archaic line of anapestic heptameter: it includes the Fugitive Agrarian poet Allen Tate, due to Tate's southern prejudices born and bred.
David Yezzi references Tate's reactionary outlook in a well written apologia in The New Criterion, an article perused often since its publication. David Havird simply offers up the events in Tate's life, without opining on the titillating aspects of a fractious personality. This reviewer offers up an unabashed delight in the sheer craft on what might have been Tate's nihilistic intimacy with the haunting, perishable quality of life.
We're here today. Tomorrow we might be dead in a dust storm, or murdered as an inconvenience to an overworked sheriff, and whatever else sullied his mindset, Tate put his readers on notice with his mastery of imitation, be it Alexander Pope's heroic satire, the ethereal disembodied sensibilities of Edgar Allen Poe, even Dante's terza rima.
Tate's classicism doesn't always generate a strong output, as in his early "Lycambes Talks to John". In the second stanza, lines like "My love the Lesbian puritans despised," is a light jab at the Freudian revolution, but with maturation, as exemplified in one of my favorites, "Mother and Son," the opening lines, slamming with a trochee, "Now all day long the man who is not dead/Hastens the dark with inattentive eyes," sets up a spiritual recoil from powerful familial bonds tenaciously clinging to life even in their mortal coils zapped with sin.
If Tate's work is ignored by a progressive academic establishment due to our 21st century currency in hypersensitivity, it is representative of an educational stagnation, an unfortunate facet of the times, especially when the expendability of the flesh offers poetry enthusiasts such a wickedly jarring pleasure.

hey guys, was trying to build pacman using pygame, have a small problem. When the pacman is moving if i press a key then it changes direction, unfortunately if there is a wall above then the pacman stops at that place and points upwards until i change the direction. I want help with how to find out if the block 3 or 4 units of pacman.rect.y belongs to sprite group level which has all the walls and stuff ..
Here's a longer example of a working game with walls:
You could use: http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/sprite.html#pygame.sprite.spritecollide
And do the same for every direction you want to test.

Rizla Suzuki has unveiled their new livery designed by Troy Lee Designs and if you were expecting something more dramatic than a slightly darker shade of Rizla blue on the bike you'll certainly be left wanting.
The new 2010 800cc GSV-R that will be used by veteran Motogp rider Loris Capirossi and by rookie Alvaro Bautista has been developed with the intention of improving both acceleration and durability to coincide with the new engine restrictions that have been implemented this year (6 engines for 18 races).
According to Suzuki their have been improvements in aerodynamics, chassis performance and electronic system and the Japanese manufacturer labels the 2010 machine as its "most advanced machine yet."

Flashback: Obama Promised His Election Would Make Radicals Love America
Looks like it takes more than just growing up in Indonesia to convince Islamists to give up their extreme ways
"I truly believe that the day I'm inaugurated not only does the country look at itself differently but the world looks at us differently."
President Obama said this in 2007, telling a radio host that because he spent time in Indonesia as a kid he could appeal to Muslims who might not otherwise like America. How is that a whole lot different from Sarah Palin saying she can see Russia from her living room?
More than that, as was evident this week, with Islamist thugs raising a black flag at the U.S. embassy in Cairo and murdering our ambassador to Libya, Sen. Obama was incredibly, dangerously naïve.

Norwegian Jewel Cruise Review by tazzicat: Almost back to back on Norwegian Jewel and Pearl
Overall Member Rating
Almost back to back on Norwegian Jewel and Pearl
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
As is our policy, we flew to Seattle two days before the cruise - and we spent more time waiting in airports than we did flying - oh well.
Both cruises were mostly excellent except for the weather and a couple of other issues (more on the Pearl cruise later).
The staff on the Jewel was super as usual - Ruth our concierge from three cruises on NCL Epic took VERY good care of us - Nelson our butler was the best ever. Roshell and Elizabeth in Cagney's were GREAT - Thomas in Star Bar really good as was Marcia.
Weather iffy - Ketchikan drizzly and overcast - couldn't get into Tracy Arm because of the FOG - Juneau and Skagway kinda cool but OK. Food and Beverage Director was super - as was the food. We ate in Le Bistro, Chin Chin, Blue Lagoon, Cagney's, Tzars Palace and Italian - all were excellent and we love the choices.
The comedian was really funny - dance team spectacular. Overall, entertainment most enjoyable.
Off in Vancouver for a day & night, More then onto the NVL Pearl for a Pacific Coastal to Los Angles. Pearl embarkation started rocky bur ended OK. Ballentyne Pier in Vancouver certainly not the best - dismal at best. We were given our cabin key cards - but no photos taken - no cruise docs requested nor was a credit card asked for. However, our concierge Anoop worked things out to our satisfaction.
We were docked in the middle of nowhere in San Francisco - south of the Bay Bridge - LONG walk to buses and nothing in that area of interest. We stayed on board. Good food and entertainment but five days is just not long enough.
Highlight of the cruise was seeing Karen Duffis again. Super lady which we met 2 1/2 years ago on NCL Sun on a cruise from Santiago to Buenos Aires. She took excellent care of us in Blue Lagoon and Mama's. Hugs around.
Overall, very well pleased and we made deposits for two future cruises - next probably Bermuda on the Breakaway in the Haven? - We're hooked on Norwegian because they spoil us. Less

To study the influence of antiinflammatory treatments, including methotrexate (MTX) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, on antibody response following vaccination using a 7-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine in adult patients with established arthritis.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondylarthropathy (SpA) (including psoriatic arthritis) were vaccinated (n = 505). All patients were stratified into 6 prespecified groups based on diagnosis and treatment (RA patients receiving MTX, RA patients receiving anti-TNF agents and MTX, RA patients receiving TNF inhibitors as monotherapy, SpA patients receiving anti-TNF agents and MTX, SpA patients receiving TNF inhibitors as monotherapy, and SpA patients receiving nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] and/or analgesics). SpA patients receiving only NSAIDs/analgesics served as a control group. All patients received 1 dose (0.5 ml) of vaccine intramuscularly. Levels of IgG antibodies against 23F and 6B serotypes were measured at vaccination and at 4–6 weeks following vaccination, using standardized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Positive antibody response was defined as an antibody response ratio (ARR) (i.e., ratio of post- to prevaccination antibody levels) of ≥2. The ARR differed significantly between the groups. A better ARR was seen among patients in the control group compared to those in groups treated with MTX or MTX in combination with TNF inhibitors. Among patients treated with TNF inhibitors as monotherapy, ARRs for both serotypes were lower numerically, but were not significantly different, compared to those in controls. Ongoing MTX treatment was predictive of reduced response (odds ratio 0.41 [95% confidence interval 0.24–0.68], P = 0.001). Higher age was associated with impaired positive antibody response. Concomitant prednisolone treatment elicited better positive antibody response in patients with RA.
Treatment with MTX and higher age were predictive of an impaired antibody response to the 7-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine in this cohort of patients with chronic arthritis. TNF inhibitors did not significantly affect antibody responses.

New England Cheddar-Cider Fondue
Total Time: 20
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
- 1-1/4 cups medium-dry hard cider, (I recommend local ciders from Farnum Hill in NH, West Country Winery in NH or Furnace Brook Winery in MA
- 1 pound Cheddar cheese, grated (you can also use Gruyère or Gouda)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons apple brandy or applejack
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:Assorted accompaniments, such as crusty French bread; boiled fingerling potatoes; apple or pear slices; steamed cauliflower, broccoli, or green beans; roasted Brussels sprouts; or sausage slices
Rub the inside of a 3- to 4-quart pot with the garlic clove, then discard. Add the cider and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cheese and nutmeg and stir with a wooden spoon until the cheese is melted. Don't worry if it doesn't blend with the cider ... that will happen later.
In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch with the brandy. Add to the cheese mixture and stir until smooth, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with accompaniments of your choice.

I really tried to like the uninspired romance/dramedy Playing for Keeps. After all, it had a fairly decent ensemble cast including Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones (I used to have a really huge crush on Butler; gratefully now outgrown). After watching a slew of lousy movies during the last few weeks, I thought that no matter how bad this film was, I would find the good in it. Alas, if there was only a silver lining to the drab gray cloud that is Playing for Keeps.
You would think that, given the economic times we live in and how hard it is to get a movie payrolled (and there are some GREAT scripts out there just sitting on a desk because they can't get funding), that only the very best of the best re movies would be getting made. I mean, that makes sense to me. Rough economic times = higher quality films.
After watching the abysmal ex-soccer-star-becomes-family-man dramedy Playing for Keeps, I have accepted the truth: mass market movies are getting worse, not better. Now I don't want to lump the still-innovative and quality "indies" into this generalization. I'm talking big (or medium) budget popcorn movies here.
With all the great (and not-so-great) romcoms and dramedies already out there, it seems a foolish endeavor to add a mediocre (at best!) $35 million flop to the pot. That being said, here's a breakdown of what went terribly wrong with this movie.
The story is the first problem. It centered around aging soccer superstar George (played uninspiringly by Butler), who has moved to Virginia to be near his ex-wife and son. His ex-wife (played at least a little better by Biel) is about to be married to another man, but it is clear George wants to "man up" and be the husband and father he was too immature to be five years earlier. George is having financial troubles and his life is basically in shambles..until he gets talked into coaching his 9-year-old son's soccer team.
Suddenly things are swinging his way, as are all the single 40-something divorcees. While trying to juggle fatherhood and his little soccer team, George must try to win back his wife, earn back the respect of his son, and get his life together.
Aww...sounds like a dream of a movie. Unless you consider that this formulaic romance/drama has been done to death in about a thousand other movies (and many of those far better written and funnier than Playing for Keeps). Not only was the story old, but as you might guess the dialogue was atrocious. And by atrocious I mean boring, pedantic, and ridiculous.
Butler played a has-been decently (but not because of stellar acting ability). He's just lost his charisma; maybe it's the hard-drinking lifestyle. Biel and Thurman and even Zeta-Jones were just ok, and in a surprising twist Dennis Quaid (yes, who'd have thunk it) came out on top of the acting tier as a smarmy jealous husband.
Bad acting and poorly written script aside, I personally found the fact that every woman in this film flung herself at Butler's character to be degrading. The writer, and I guess you can't expect much more from the screenwriter of Pauly Shore-starrer In the Army Now), seems to think that every woman over the age of 40 must be in desperate need of male attention (or, in the case of Playing for Keeps, a good f**#k).
Ok, I've exhausted myself in trying to explain why this movie failed on all counts. It was so tired, so uninspired, I found it almost offensive that it not only got payrolled, but got a wide release in theaters (aka distribution). The romance aspect was the least believable, as the audience is supposed to swallow the fact that George's ex-wife, who is about to get married to the man she has lived with for three years, suddenly falls back into the arms of an ex-husband who abandoned her and her son five years earlier.
Do yourself a favor, reader, and skip this one. Stay home instead and rent a quality romcom/dramedy like When Harry Met Sally, Working Girl, While You Were Sleeping, You've Got Mail, or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. You'll save money, and inevitable disappointment.

My mother utters those words at least 20 times each day.
This morning right after she finished eating her oatmeal, and with the bowl still in front of her, my mother said, "I'm hungry, I'm starving".
Back during that difficult, very trying, first year, my mother would eat constantly. It was driving me crazy.
It honestly made me feel crazy and disconcerted.
Then one lucky day in the gym, I mentioned to two complete strangers how this was making me nuts. They had already gone the full round trip with Alzheimer's.
As I vented, they stood there listening, smile on their faces, head nodding up and down yes, and listened to me vent.
When I finished, they told me about their very similar experience(s). They gave me a great deal of encouragement. Even though I never saw them again, I think of them often.
They changed my life.

It was later that day that the little light bulb in my head went on.
I realized -- I am not alone. There are millions of people, just like me, going through the same experiences, day in, day out. Millions all over the world.
I thought about the smiles on the faces of the two people I met in the gym. The encouragement and positive feedback they offered. Their kindness.
I decided, right then and right there, to learn as much as I could about Alzheimer's.
I decided that I would do everything possible to get control of the crazy situation I found myself living, day in, day out.
I decided that sooner or later, I would become a happy caregiver.
I made it.

Estancia absolutamente perfecto. La casa está perfectamente ubicado a menos de 1 min de los mercados de Fiori, y todo lo que necesitas está cerca, incluyendo un supermercado y un buen deli de la esquina.
El apartamento estaba muy bien decorada, era impecable y muy bien equipadas con todas las comodidades que necesitábamos para sentirse como en casa. Con los techos altos y los niveles 2 se sentía muy espacioso. Realmente apreciamos la calefacción central y las sombrillas que Roma puede hacer frío y lluvioso.
Nos quedamos muy contentos con nuestra elección. Sin duda lo recomiendo.
Gracias Virginia!!
Absolutely perfect stay. The house is perfectly located less than 1 min from the markets at Fiori, and everything you need is close by, including a supermarket and a nice deli around the corner.
The apartment was decorated beautifully; it was spotless and very well equipped with all the amenities we needed to feel like home. With the high ceilings and the 2 levels it felt very spacious. We really appreciated the central heating and the umbrellas as Rome can get cold and rainy.
We were very pleased with our choice. Certainly recommended.
Thanks Virginia!!!!
Apartamento ideal para una estancia corta en Roma. Muy, muy céntrico. Es posible caminar todo enel monumental Roma. Muy bueno para una familia con uno o dos hijos, o 4 personas. El equipo es bueno. Sería importante explicar ante los clientes algunos pequeños detalles como secadores de pelo disponibles (sí) o si los baños disponen de champú o la fuerza de gel (no tienen). Información pequeño pero necesario. Dale más detalles antes de su llegada a Roma, algo sencillo para un sitio muy recomendable.
Perfect apartment for a short stay in Rome. Very, very central. It is possible walking tothe entire monumental Rome. Very good for a family with one or two children, or 4 people. The equipment is good. It would be important to explain before customers some small details like hairdryers available (yes) or if the bathrooms have shampoo or gel strength (don't have). Small but necessary information. Give more details before arrival in Rome, something simple for a highly recommended site.
El apartamento es increíble! gran balcón, donde se puede sentir el espíritu magnético Rome.Clean y acogedor lugar-2 bedrooms.Perfect min a la Fontana de Trevi, aunque es muy tranquilo. Gracias a nuestro anfitrión, era muy servicial y amable! Espero volver a verte!
The apartment is amazing! great balcony,where you can feel the magnetic spirit of Rome.Clean and cozy bedrooms.Perfect location-2 min to trevi fountain,although very quiet. Thanks to our host,she was super helpful and friendly! hope to see you again!
Apartment just in the middle of everything. A big terrace on the roof that we used every dag. Do note that the stairs up to the roof are narrow. Everything to our full satisfaction except for 1st floor where higth is for kids only. We were 6 adults and the 4 of us, sleeping upstairs had to move around backs bending forward not to crash our head against the ceiling. That we did not know.
Excellent appartment! Very well located very close to the Fontana di Trevi. Very quite and lots of light with an incredible terrace. I'll repeat if I come back to Rome! Many thanks Francesca!!!
Excellent location
A perfect situated flat in two levels.It is really in the center and in a very quiet area.
There are however some buts.
At the second level, there are only app. between 140 - 170 cm which means it is only usable for children
There are only two doors in the flat (those are to the two bathrooms). That means that all the " rooms " are connected as if it was one big room.
For two adult persons the flat is more than perfect.
Awful stay., Internet never worked. Electrical panel is not enough for the apartment . We had no electrical for a whole night. Front bedroom has no A/C. Called Virginia ( The Agent Host ) and after 3 hours she called back , her response was you can't turn everything on in the apartment. My husband is a contractor in the USA and knows how to turn the panel back on. It would not stay on regardless. Even when we unplugged the refrigerator . She said she would refund part of the rental. By the time we left the next morning., she called us" UGLY AMERICANS , you expect everything to work. Why do you need internet , you should be out seeing a church ." She was completely rude and of course no refunds was ever given. I am part italian and love visiting Italy . It is a shame she does not have manners. Don't rent this apartment . There are so many beautiful apartments in Rome , with wonderful host.
Very Nice appartement in the center of Rome (Campo di fiori). However, ceiling on the second floor is quite low, especially for tall Dutch people :)
Very nice area to stay! Close to the busses and Campo di Fiori. We really had a great time in Rome. The apartment is located in a nice alley (somewhat noisy in the morning) and looks very authentic. With 6 persons we however thought it was too small. Especially since the bed downstairs is too small for two persons, and the second level is really low (strongly not recommended for large people).
It was clean but dusty, we sneezed a lot.
The roof terrace can be reached via some stairs outside the apartment (not child friendly).
The cab driver Paolo, friend of Virginia, is the ideal men for bringing and picking you up from the Airport!

railcars, gang cars, etc. The rides offered by tourist trains are mainly short train rides on historic or scenic routes. The cost of this short train ride is relatively inexpensive. The fare collection
from these short train rides usually goes to a fund that is used for locomotive and track maintainance work.

Once your car is at the shop, think about asking the technician to take a quick spin with you. This way they can see exactly the problems that are occurring. This is a much more efficient way to get to the root of the problem. It is important that you fully understand what all the charges will be upfront, before handing the mechanic your car keys. If something is not clear, clarify it with the service adviser or mechanic before starting any repair on the car. You surely do not want unpleasant surprises when you go to get the car.
Find a technician knowledgeable in your kind of car. Yes, every car has an engine, a radiator, and a gas tank, but how they are built will vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle. If you're not comfortable with your mechanic working on your car, take it to the dealer instead.
You don't always need a repair-person for your car troubles. You can easily learn to perform small repairs yourself. Try troubleshooting the issue on the Internet or talk to your friends to see if they have an idea of what could be wrong with your vehicle. If it is a basic issue, attending to the repair yourself could save a considerable amount of money.
If your taillights or headlights burn out, you will save a ton of money. While it is different with each vehicle, it is much cheaper to do it yourself. Speak with friends and family for pointers or instructions.
Check to see if the mechanic you are considering is familiar with your make and model of vehicle. Different cars require different skill sets. If you're unsure about your chosen mechanic's ability, consider having a dealer repair your vehicle.
Make sure you replace old parts with OEM parts. These parts are issued by the manufacturer of your vehicle. While generic could be a cheaper option, you don't know how they will perform in the future. A cheap, generic part is less of a bargain if it only lasts half as long as an OEM part would.
