There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Boston Children's shares with policymakers a commitment to preserving world-class care for the children of Massachusetts while reducing costs, both now and over the long term.
We treat the sickest 90 percent of children in the Commonwealth.
More than 30 percent of our patients are covered by Medicaid—making us the largest health care provider for Massachusetts' low-income families.
Over the past three years, Boston Children's has held our expenses to well below medical inflation, taking approximately $170 million out of the health care system.
We have passed the majority of these savings to insurers, thereby lowering costs for employers and families alike.
Wherever possible, we are transitioning care delivery to lower-cost, more accessible settings in our patients' communities.
We are improving the integration of care between primary care pediatricians and specialists, resulting in smarter utilization of resources and eliminating duplication of services.
Finally, Boston Children's is committed to advocating for our most vulnerable patients—many of whom are covered by MassHealth, the insurer of one in every five Massachusetts residents. As policymakers call for the health care market to adopt a more cost-conscious approach, the state must keep this sizeable population firmly in mind.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."


text: Is it advisable to treat for Nosema this fall even if I will not be needing to do any feeding? All my hives look as though they will be full of honey on the bottom two deeps so I do not think I will be needing to do any feeding. If it is a good idea to treat for Nosema before winter is there any other way or will I need to feed sugar water to administer the medication? Thank you for any responses.

Pesto is a wonderfully diverse recipe component because there are so many possible variations. Here, almonds and sun-dried tomatoes make for a sweet-and-savory flavor with extra richness from the oil in the tomatoes. Mixed into a bit of reserved pasta cooking water, the pesto makes a great thick sauce that sticks to the noodles, and a last-minute topping of tangy feta brightens all the flavors. It tastes indulgent, but this dish has only 300 calories and less than 10 grams of fat per serving.

I need you guys help again. My daughters passenger door glass would not go up all the way and when I took it apart I could see that the previous owner added a steel cable as a stop and it had got snagged on a bolt keeping the glass from going to the top. I'm guessing by the looks of the installation that it is not OEM... :-)
Here it is fully stretched out.
And here is the Front regulator arm.
I have looked at my Bentley manual and it shows a different set up with an adjustable screw that I should be able to adjust or set that would keep the glass from going to far up or down. Are these missing parts or just the wrong parts or what? I dont see or feel anything on the regulator that would hit at the top to keep the glass from going to far. Which is why the previous owner added this cable stop. I looked at the other door and it has been rigged the same way.
Can someone tell me what it is supposed to look like and if I'm missing a part what it is. I like doing things right and this definately is not. Thank you for looking...

Marquee Matchups – Week 16 Festive Buffet Edition
Marquee Matchups – Week 16 Festive Buffet Edition
After an impromptu week off for Week 15, Marquee Matchups returns with a bumper holiday er edition for the festive season.
Christmas is a time of excess, so why should this column be any different? This week Ben Stockwell takes a look at either a crucial or intriguing matchup for all of the weekend Week 16 games. There are some notable mismatches, but also some all-time classics like Andre Johnson vs. Champ Bailey, Terrell Suggs vs. Joe Thomas and … Bill Belichick vs. Chan Gailey?
Dallas C Andre Gurode vs. Arizona NT Dan Williams
This one isn't a matchup of starters but if you consider a football game a three-course meal, this one is the main course after the Arizona starter (Bryan Robinson) has been cleared off the table. Dan Williams has been a rare bright spot for the Cards, a potentially dominant force in run defense. Williams is our No. 8 defensive tackle in run defense (+13.9) and the Cardinals should be looking to get him on the field more to assess him in a starting role. Gurode is our 7th rated center as a run blocker (+8.2) and will provide Williams a stern test to see what he's made of.
Detroit WR Calvin Johnson vs. Miami CB Vontae Davis
A matchup featuring a receiver who moves all over the formation and a corner who tends to track the No. 1 receiver. Davis struggled last week in the Dolphins' loss to the Bills and if Miami are to rebound Davis will need to have a big game to keep Johnson quiet. The Lions have adapted their scheme well to Drew Stanton's abilities, but Johnson is still a big part of what they do through the air. Davis & the Dolphins' secondary need a big day to keep him quiet whilst the front seven clamps down the shotgun runs of Maurice Morris & Jahvid Best.
Bill Belichick vs. Chan Gailey
Bill Belichick himself said earlier this week that the Bills are tough to gameplan for, and as a result it makes it very difficult to pinpoint just one key and intriguing matchup. So let's look at the matchup between the head coaches and the units they take prime interest in. We at PFF were impressed with the work Chan Gailey did with the Chiefs in 2008 when he ran a pistol offense, getting some commendable performances from Tyler Thigpen, and Gailey has repeated that this year with the Bills. Gailey is earning a rep as someone who can get everything and more from talent sets that don't seem to fit and it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with this week on offense and what Belichick has prepared to stop them. This game should be a no brainer, but don't be surprised to see an enthralling battle of wits between the two brains on the sidelines.
Washington ILBs Rocky McIntosh & London Fletcher-Baker vs. Jacksonville TE Marcedes Lewis
We've long been fans of Marcedes Lewis' all round ability, but this season has finally seen Lewis emerge as the receiver that he was in college at UCLA; his spectacular catch against the Colts is the exclamation point on his season. McIntosh in particular has struggled in coverage this year and if the Jaguars can get Lewis isolated on him and Kareem Moore in the secondary the Jaguars should be on to a winner with this matchup.
Baltimore DRE Terrell Suggs vs. Cleveland LT Joe Thomas
Both players had strong games in the first encounter this season. Thomas raised his game against the Ravens, yielding only 1 pressure, but Suggs against other blockers was able to register a sack & three pressures. Thomas has re-found his form of late and Suggs has been hot all season (save for the defensive collapse against the Texans) and this should be a great matchup to watch. Colt McCoy showed more willingness to look downfield against the Bengals last week, and if the Browns are to be able to get after the Ravens' secondary Thomas will need to keep Suggs quiet.
Tennessee DLE Jason Babin vs. Kansas City RT Barry Richardson
Richardson had been solid this season, but since his start at left tackle against the Seahawks Richardson has struggled. Welcoming Jason Babin & the Titans to town isn't likely to help him recover his form this week. Babin has been a revelation this season, almost matching his career sack total in 2010. In the last 4 weeks Richardson has yielded a sack, four hits, and 10 pressures while Babin has registered three sacks, five hits and nine pressures. The saving grace for Matt Cassel is at least this pressure is coming from his open side.
NY Jets LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson vs. Chicago DRE Julius Peppers
After a big win last week in Pittsburgh are the Jets now back on schedule? Confidence will be high, and everybody is aware just how much confidence plays into the performance of this team, can they ride this momentum to a playoff spot and a potential rematch with the Patriots? In this game we have one of the outstanding matchups of the season on the line with Ferguson against Peppers, an MVP candidate at defensive end against one of the premier left tackles in the league, does it get any better than this? Even if Peppers decides that he can have more profitable hunting at left end, it will be fun to see what Israel Idonije can do up against Ferguson.
San Francisco RE Justin Smith vs. St. Louis LG Jacob Bell
Justin Smith's recovery to the top of our 3-4 end rankings is complete, even though his untimely ejection against the Chargers limited his performance last Thursday. This game still has playoff implications, and this matchup will be important to the Niners' hopes. Smith has been a destructive force after a slow start this season, and his first game against the Rams this season was no different. Smith registered a sack and five pressures along with three stops in run defense. The Rams will need better from Bell this week or they'll be finding their playoff fate out of their hands as they enter their Week 17 encounter in Seattle.
Indianapolis RT Ryan Diem vs. Oakland DLE Lamarr Houston
Lamarr Houston exploded onto the scene in with an outstanding game against the Rams in week 2 (+7.2 overall) and since then has continued to be a penetrative force in the Raiders' aggressive defense. But he hasn't consistently finished the plays he puts himself into position to make. Houston is coming off of another big game two weeks ago against the Jaguars and finds himself with a favorable matchup against Diem, our 72nd rated tackle (-26.9), in both run and pass games. Houston has been most consistent in run defense but the Raiders will be looking for him to channel his performances as a pass rusher against the Rams (+4.0), Chargers (+1.7), 49ers (+2.4) abd Jaguars (+2.2) as they look to disrupt Peyton Manning & the Colts' passing attack.
Houston WR Andre Johnson vs. Denver CB Champ Bailey
There's no boxing match on the horizon here, just a top quality matchup between our second-rated wide receiver, Johnson +14.3, and our second-rated corner, Bailey +18.6. Johnson's two games against Tennessee bracketed two games where he topped 140 receiving yards; conversely Bailey has yielded only 29 yards in the last five games. Something's got to give in this one.
San Diego NT Antonio Garay vs. Cincinnati C Kyle Cook
This matchup is a response to the performance Kyle Cook put in during the second half of the battle of Ohio this past Sunday. Ahtyba Rubin has struggled stepping up to the starting line-up this season for the Browns and his encounter with Cook confirmed that. Cook absolutely dominated Rubin for the entire second half getting a lot of movement to open some huge running lanes for Cedric Benson. Garay will provide a sterner challenge for Cook, that's for sure.
NY Giants RBs Brandon Jacobs & Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Green Bay ILBs Desmond Bishop & AJ Hawk
There's really no articulation needed for this matchup, which will go a long way towards deciding the 6th seed for the NFC. It's a game in December in Wisconsin, smash mouth football is going to play a big part in this game. How the Packers ILBs cope with and corral the fire/lightning combination of Jacobs and Bradshaw will go a long way towards deciding this one. Any one of these four have the prime opportunity to write their name on this game and thrust their side towards a hard-earned playoff spot.
Seattle DRE Chris Clemons vs. Tampa Bay LT Donald Penn
Clemons has a habit of feasting on subpar tackles, and what better time to feast than Christmas? Only ten tackles have yielded more pressure than Penn this season (five sacks, eight hits, 33 pressures) and only a handful of ends have applied more pressure than Clemons this season (10 sacks, eight hits, 47 pressures). This encounter is heavily weighted towards Clemons, and the Seahawks need a big game from him. Both teams need this game to stay in the playoff hunt, if Clemons can get after Josh Freeman it gives the Seahawks a great chance to come away with a big road win.
Minnesota MLB EJ Henderson vs. Philadelphia QB Michael Vick
How do you account for Michael Vick when he decides to play like he did last week against the Giants? Really you can't, you can only hope to slow him down enough for your offense to outscore him. Henderson will be crucial in this encounter, be it spying Vick or working in the short passing lanes where he will surely be well-tested if the Vikings safeties & corners can take away the deep threat, though that's not a given. If Henderson and the rest of the Vikings front seven can contain Vick then we might see Week 17 spiced up a little in the race for the second seed in the NFC.
New Orleans LT Jermon Bushrod vs. Atlanta DRE John Abraham
Homefield advantage is all but locked up for the Falcons even if they lose this game, but for the sake of momentum and a mental advantage there will be no interest in a slipup against the Saints this week. Matt Ryan has still only lost one home game in his career and at home, on familiar turf, Abraham should be ready to take advantage of this lopsided matchup against Bushrod and really get after Drew Brees to pressure the Saints' passing game. The Falcons seem to be viewed as a good team that hasn't necessarily elevated itself to elite status, in spite of their record. Clinching homefield advantage and completing a season sweep of the defending Super Bowl champs may just see people jump firmly on the Falcon bandwagon; this could easily be a divisional playoff preview.

"It doesn't matter if it looks pretty or not," said Allen, "as long as we're getting wins."
Wisconsin's defense – particularly the defensive line led by Allen – has been one of the key ingredients that have helped the Badgers win a third straight Big Ten championship and a third straight Rose Bowl appearance, which will come against the Cardinal Tuesday in Pasadena.
In a year where Wisconsin's offensive rhythm has been severely challenged at times, the Badgers have held the ship together by ranking 13th nationally in total defense (320.9 yards per game) and in a tie for 19th nationally in scoring defense (19.1 points per game), having held eight opponents to 14 points or less in regulation.
"We've played like we thought we could at the beginning of the season," said defensive coordinator Chris Ash. "The thing I've been happy with is the guys have improved every single week. The guys have showed up to work every single week. Each individual has gotten better. They've bought into what we're doing, believe what we are doing and execute what we put in throughout the course of the week."
Defensively, Wisconsin will be tested in a multitude of ways against Stanford's offense; a unit that runs multiple sets and formation to feature a power tailback and its tight ends much like the Badgers do.
And while the Cardinal are 94th through the air (203.5 ypg), freshman quarterback Kevin Hogan has thrown for eight touchdowns and three interceptions since taking over under center for Josh Nunes. In his four starts, Hogan has knocked off four ranked opponents, including ruining then-No. 1 Oregon's national title hopes in Eugene on Nov. 17.
It's why Partridge has put a lot of emphasize on the quarterback-run game and getting pressure on the pocket, as the Badgers have worked on tip drills and batting passes in the practices leading up to the Rose Bowl.
"It's something we have been close on a lot of times, and it hasn't affected games in the way we think it can," said Allen, as Wisconsin's defensive line is responsible for only 12 of UW's 63 pass breakups this season.
"You see J.J. (Watt) at the next level with the Houston Texans seeing what he is doing with getting sacks and seeing tipped passes go for interceptions. He really affects quarterbacks. It's hard to train for, but that's definitely an important part of the game that we know can change a game."
A year after registering 22 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and four sacks in a reserve role, Allen's play has helped a defensive tackle position that was threatened with depth issues from the onset. Before fall camp opened, Wisconsin learned that junior Jordan Kohout – expected to be a key fixture in the rotation – had to give up football because of migraines.
With no proven players on the depth chart, Allen has started all 14 games has set career highs in tackles (33), tackle for loss (6.5) and forced his first fumble against Illinois.
"Fundamentally he's come a long, long way," said Partridge. "He's played well against the run and the pass. He's continued to be productive for us in ways you can't see."
Focused his body over the summer to be stronger physically and be more consistent mentally, Partridge says Allen's numbers would be higher if he wasn't consistently taking on double teams at the line of scrimmage. By taking on two defenders, it has allowed linebacker Ethan Armstrong (89 tackles), Chris Borland (95) and Mike Taylor (120) to be the top three tackle producers on the team.
"The linebackers credit him for a lot of the things he does because it helps the things they do," said Partridge. "He does a great job demanding double teams, which helps the linebackers." Choosing to play right away as a freshman, New Year's Day will mark the third straight season Allen will have played in a Rose Bowl as a Big Ten champion. Winning it this time around, he said, would be the ultimate family honor considering his grandfather, Fred T. Westphal, is a charter inductee into the UW Athletic Hall of Fame and his uncle, John Westphal, never experienced a championship when he played football for UW from 1980-81.
"It's pretty remarkable and you can't help but be pleased with it," said Allen. "We've have the Big Ten championship ring, but we want to win that Rose Bowl ring. I think this year we realize what's at stake and what it means. I think this (Stanford) team is a team we match up well with.
"To get that Rose Bowl ring is on everyone's mind because we don't have one of those yet."

Right before Chinese National Day on October 1, the government published a Guidebook for Civilized Tourism, which is supposed to educate Chinese tourists about how to behave when traveling – especially abroad.
Soon after that, the Internet was flooded with articles and posts such as "Why are Chinese tourists so rude?" etc. Apparently, Chinese tourists were even voted the worst tourists on the planet. But why is that?
To be honest, I am not really in favor of this statement. I much rather believe that people who say this kind of thing are not properly educated themselves, they don't seem to understand cultural differences and apparently aren't pretty open-minded.
A columnist for the South China Morning Post, Amy Li, describes the reputation of Chinese tourists as "pushy, loud, impolite, unruly, and they are everywhere."
And although destination countries welcome the tourism dollars the Chinese spend, they loathe the chaos and hassle some mainland tourists bring upon their cities and other tourists.
"Why can't they just behave?" people wonder, some aloud. – Amy Li
Who Really Needs to Be Educated?
So Chinese tourists seem to have a love-hate-relationship with foreign tourist destinations. On one hand, the foreign tourist industry is happy when Chinese tourists come to visit since they spend a lot of money during traveling, but on the other hand they think they are "uncivilized". Perhaps those people should spend some time understanding Chinese culture and Chinese cultural differences compared to the rest of the world.
As being German, it always makes my hair stand on end when I see how German tourists behave in places like Mallorca, Lloret de Mar or even Asian destinations like Thailand. Do you think they are welcome there? I am sure restaurant and bar owners would say the exact same thing about them: "They are welcome because they spend a lot of money but they always cause trouble and hassle."
Another article says: "It's hard to say whether this nation's citizens are actually the most ill-behaved or whether there are just more of them to go around… but the fact remains that many respondents ranked Chinese tourists as among the worst behaved."
Maybe people in the tourism industry should start to educate themselves about Chinese manners and cultural differences before judging Chinese tourists, BECAUSE there are so many Chinese tourists with a population of 1.3 billion? Just saying…
Due to the Chinese economic boom growing numbers of cash-flush tourists travel abroad. The United Nations World Tourism Organization says 83 million Chinese tourists spent nearly pounds 63 billion ($105.6 billion Cdn.) overseas in 2012.
How About a Compromise?
Of course, I am not saying Chinese tourists can do what they want. They should also inform themselves about certain customs and cultural differences before travelling abroad. But so should everybody else. I think that if everybody informs themselves about each other, everyone can enjoy a nice vacation.
And don't forget that there are also certain things foreigners should not do when travelling in China:
- Don't talk about politics, Taiwan, Japan…
- Collect business cards with BOTH HANDS
- Don't stick your chopsticks in your rice
- Always offer seats to the elderly AND children
- Don't take pictures of certain Buddha Statues
- Don't blow your nose at a table
- etc.
Life is all about mutual respect and understanding. Just to say Chinese tourists are the rudest on the planet seems not legit to me. It all depends on the travel destination, the people there, their customs, etc. When I was travelling in Egypt, Russian tourists were considered the worst because they did not know/want to haggle with the vendors. In Mallorca or other party islands in Spain, German and British tourists don't know how to behave and get drunk like crazy.
One thing is clear, Chinese tourists account for a higher and higher percentage in world travel. Chinese citizens can afford to travel abroad and are interested in foreign cultures. It is just the beginning and everyone has to get used to it. Get over it…

The report, written by an Optometrist named Professor Martin Banks, was based on a test of 24 adults using a 3D smartphone. The test revealed that close viewing of a 3D stereoscopic display caused discomfort when users focused on the images closer to the screen. Images that appeared to be in the background caused fewer problems. When looking at 3D in a movie theater, things are reversed because of the distance of the screen from your eyes, and the discomfort there comes from background images.
Researchers are suggesting that a new study be set up that would include more participants including children, many of whom are using the same 3D technology found in smartphones with the Nintendo 3DS mobile game player. The latter device and the HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D/LG Thrill all have a control that allows the user to reduce the severity of a 3D image. Staring too long at a 3D display, or viewing the screen at a specific angle can cause discomfort, visual fatigue and headaches.
More 3D flavored smartphones and even some tablets with 3D functionality are bound to be launched in the next year. If this technology is to be more than just a fad, it would be important for manufacturers to continue to seek ways to offer 3D images with less potential damage to the eyes and with fewer headaches.

I really want to play this:
Quick turnaround for me this week. I won't have a free night from here on out and my Olympus OM1 was stashed in my office already loaded with a roll of Kodak 400CN so I got off the metro at a random stop and did some wandering. Walgreens had it processed and (super low quality) scanned within 45 minutes.

Scrubs (2001)
21 trivia entries
Starring: Donald Faison, John C. McGinley, Judy Reyes, Ken Jenkins, Neil Flynn, Sarah Chalke, Zach Braff
Vote on Scrubs and more TV shows at The Big Fat List
Trivia: Ben Sullivan, Dr. Cox's best friend and brother-in-law, loves his camera and takes pictures everywhere he goes. Brendan Fraser, who plays Ben, has a great interest for photography in real life.
Trivia: The picture of the lady in Ted's office is his real-life mother.
My Screw Up - S3-E14
Trivia: This episode pays homage to The Sixth Sense in the way that Dr. Cox sees Ben, but no-one else does. The audience doesn't know this but they do drop a clue. Dr. Cox asks Ben, "Are you still doing that camera thing?" to which Ben replies, "Till the day I die." And after J.D. tells Dr. Cox that the patient died, Ben no longer has his camera.
Trivia: When JD has the flashback of him walking in on his parents in bed, the voice of his father telling him to get out was provided by the actor who plays Dr Cox.
Trivia: The shot of the car driving off the bridge was actually taken from the Tom Cruise film Vanilla Sky, as mentioned in the director's commentary.
Trivia: The initial concept for the janitor was that he was only in J.D.'s imagination. If you watch the early episodes, the janitor doesn't interact with any of the other characters. The idea was eventually abandoned because the character became too popular.
Trivia: In "My First Step", when J.D. is talking to his dad - played by John Ritter - when he was younger, the set they used was the one for 8 Simple Rules... For Dating My Teenage Daughter, in which Ritter plays the dad.
Trivia: Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence also co-created the show Spin City. Of the ten main actors on Spin City, seven subsequently made guest appearances on Scrubs, some multiple times. The only three who never appeared on Scrubs are Charlie Sheen (Charlie), Connie Britton (Nikki), and Victoria Dillard (Janelle).
Trivia: JD and Turk arrange the schedules so Dr. Turner and Dr. Hooch are working together. Dr. Turner is played by Jim Hanks, brother of Tom Hanks, who starred in Turner & Hooch.
My Unicorn - S4-E11
Trivia: The father needing a kidney and the son trying to sell him his in this episode are played by real life father and son John Bennet Perry and Matthew Perry.
Trivia: I think it's this episode when Dr Cox refers to one patient as a "G.O.M.E.R." This is an actual medical term which stands for "get outa' my emergency room."
My Brother, Where Art Thou? - S3-E5
Trivia: When we see the inside of Ted's office there is a keyboard but no monitor or computer. Probably to show Ted has no importance in the hospital.
My Unicorn - S4-E11
Trivia: The scene in which Matthew Perry chases JD with a remote control plane is a play on the famous Alfred Hitchcock movie North by Northwest, in which Cary Grant is chased through a field by a biplane.
Trivia: Throughout this episode Kelso is wearing a white coat embroidered with Cox's name.
Trivia: In the German dubbed version of the show, the character Maya has a Swiss accent instead of Australian.
Trivia: When Cabbage is shown giving the fake pills to the patient, there's a packet on the tray with the name Heisler on the front. Heilser is also a fake brand of beer that's used in tv/movies a lot.

Revisiting an old issue.. Vibration/Jerk in the rear
okay, about a year ago I picked up my 330xi. manual.. at the beginning I noticed a shake/hesitation/jerk at around 2-2.5k rpm in second gear. After reading numerous threads on what it could be I checked a few things and this past Spring 2012 I did a bunch of maintanance to *hopefully* address that.
- My left rear axle was shot - Ordered a new one from BMWparts (OEM).
- While down there I rebuild my rear right one also, it was still good with a minor boot tear, so fresh grease, new clamps good to go.
- Also while doing that I changed out all my fluids, diffs, trans, tcase with redline stuff.
- Also I was due for new tires so I slapped some new ones on (**thought the vibration was before due to somewhat bald tires**).
- Has nothing to do with the hesitation/jerk but I did my OFHG.
- Also put in new spark plugs, NGK as recommended on here.
- Replaced my RTAB's last December 2011 with OEM M3 ones.
- Also earlier this year I replaced the flex disc and CSB because everyone was saying that's probably where its coming from. After getting to the part, I noticed both components were in mint condition but I changed them out anyways as I had the parts in my hands.
After that tune up the car felt great, shifting smooth and summer was there so it was warmer climates of course, didn't have a whole lot of chances to drive it as I have another vehicle and I was away for work a lot but the BMW performed flawless.
Just recently my other car was put in storage and now in the mornings I find I have that vibration again in the XI.. It seems to be when its colder that its more noticable, the rpm range is certainly between 2-3k rpm while accelerating in 2nd. Also I am certain this is coming from the rear end.
Some of the other things I've checked and read about...
- I checked my engine mounts, had someone rev the engine while I was watching it my engine has no movement. It's in there solid.
- Suspension was not too long ago replaced by PO straight from BWM dealership and I have the invoices so I know its not lies.. And the car feels tight. Also, the car has 217,000 KM on it but handles better than most of the rentals I've driven that contain like less than 10,000 KM on them.
- Oh and no errors codes or CEL rights after doing a scan with INPA
So please, can anyone help me out here? What else is to check/do? Please help me out!
No one has anything for me? :(
Perhaps vanos seals...if the symptoms go away after the engine has reached operating temperature.
On the other hand its pretty difficult to diagnose a vibration/hesitation without feeling it.
So from what I understand the vanos is just a bunch of seals/gaskets. Would this really cause a vibration tho?
After reading more info on vanos.. I believe my problem is just the outside ambient temperature not the actual engine itself. Because even on a warmer day the engine needs to warm up but doesn't exhibit this issue but yet it should if it would be affected by vanos. Am I correct?
So no one has any further help for me?
Bet if this was a question on how to install AES it would be 5 pages by now.. :P
The VANOS seals will likely address your hesitation issues. Also check out the DISA valve, ICV, intake track, throttle body for sticking, and clean the MAF.
Vibration from the rear and hesitation are usually not related. Have you checked your rear diff for proper fluid level? How about your rear CV axle boots? Rear trailing arm bushings (RTABs) often contribute to vibration from the rear as well.
Go check this stuff out and report back.
I guess the actual word I was looking for was vibration not really hesitation.
Im pretty sure my VANOS is the not the culprit.
Forgot to mention also RTABS I replaced last December 2011.
Everything you state to check on is already done/replaced.
Like I stated, my vibration seems to come from OUTSIDE temperature no matter what my engine temperature is at.
You stated "shake/hesitation/jerk"...that means both vibration and hesitation right?
I changed the thread title to make it easier to understand. Let's move on with the fact that it's a vibration.
DISA valve was not replaced, DISA symptoms from reading threads indicate either some sort of error codes (which I have none) or a rough Idle which again my car doesnt seem to exhibit.
It's a vibration in the rear, only in 2nd, only between 2-3000 rpm?
Sounds like a transfer case issue to me. I'd start by changing the TC and rear diff fluid.
I agree with replacing/checking the fluid levels in both the TC and the rear diff.
Can you describe how bad the vibration is? Can you feel it through the steering wheel at all or is it all in the seat? Also, just to clarify, there's no vibration in anything but 2nd gear?
You cannot feel it in the steering wheel, only in the seat.
The vibration is there at the higher RPM of 1st gear before shifting into 2nd and then up to about 3k in 2nd.
Once in 3rd gear and up you don't feel anything or in highway speeds.
And like I stated in my first post, seems like its more noticeable in the mornings when it's colder out.
Does it still vibrate at 2500 rpm in second if you push the clutch in quickly and hold it in while still traveling the same speed (whatever speed 2500 rpm in 2nd gear is)?
I think TC, clutch, or flywheel may be the issue.
You keep saying TC.. when I did my flex disc/CSB I did notice that the Trans mount looked a bit weary. Wondering if this would result in a vibration?
Have you inspected your wheel bearings?
A long shot as I wouldn't expect failure here to cause vibration as much as outright noise but it sounds like you've already addressed the most likely issues.
Also take a look at your drive shafts (although you probably already have) - maybe they are out of balance some how?
I'm not 100% convinced that the ambient temperature isn't just a red herring.
Tough problem - hope you find it though - and, of course, let us know! Its rare around here for someone to have a completely unique problem.
Appears that the vibration is there on acceleration/constant push on RPM.
Also I confirm its there in 1st gear once I hit 2.5k and up in the RPM range for shifting into 2nd.
No strange noise coming from wheels that would indicate wheel bearings..
4 Attachment(s)
So what do you guys say? I'm tempted to get down there and swap the transfer case support mount . Here is a few pics of it from last year when I was doing my flex disc/CSB.
Number 2 in the below link.
From what I keep reading tho is this bushings symptoms are to do with the shifter moving around and what not while I'm not really have that issues.

President Barack Obama went on the offense Friday to reassert the need for a new consumer watchdog agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, to keep tabs on financial institutions and to keep consumers from getting caught up in more mortgage disasters and high-interest credit card schemes. —KA
"Predictably, a lot of banks and big financial firms don't like the idea of a consumer agency very much," Mr Obama said.
"They're doing what they always do - using every bit of influence to maintain the status quo that has maximised their profits at the expense of American consumers.
"In fact, the US Chamber of Commerce is spending millions on an ad campaign to kill it."
But the president said he would not back down from his plans for reform. He said the new agency was needed to protect US consumers from "ridiculously confusing contracts" used by financial institutions.

President Barack Obama speaks out on regulatory reform on Friday in the East Room of the White House.

Gentile Center | Alumni Gym | Loyola Soccer Park | Loyola Softball Park
The Joseph J. Gentile Center
In a short period of time, the Joseph J. Gentile Center went from being one of the newest basketball facilities in the Midwest to being one of the toughest places for opponents to play.
This will be the 15th season Loyola has called the Gentile Center home. Since 1996, the Ramblers have compiled a 125-68 (.648) record at Gentile, including a school-record 13-3 mark in 2005-06. On Dec. 9, 2000, a Gentile Center record 5,513 fans packed the gym to see Loyola face defending NCAA National Champion Michigan State. In 2006-07, the Ramblers posted a 12-4 ledger at home, marking the sixth time in 13 seasons they have won at least ten contests at the Gentile Center.
On November 23, 1996, the Loyola men's basketball team played its first-ever game in its new home and the 5,200-seat arena was rocking as the team christened the building with a win over Eastern Kentucky.
One of the top practice facilities around, with three full- size courts and 18 baskets, the Gentile Center is tailor-made for the individual attention that student-athletes need.
The man with the vision was former Loyola President John J. Piderit, S.J., who made the decision to build a new multi-purpose facility that would be the men's and women's basketball teams' new home. Then Joseph Gentile, a 1946 Loyola graduate, helped make the building a reality. Gentile graciously made a commitment with a total value of $3.5 million to cover nearly half the cost of the new facility that bears his name. He is the former owner of Joe Gentile Chrysler Plymouth in suburban Barrington, Ill. -- the "Baron of Barrington" - and the pride of Loyola.
Gentile has been a long-time fan and supporter of the athletics department at Loyola. For many years, he sponsored the television and radio broadcasts of Ramblers basketball games and has donated cars for raffles held by the Loyola Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.
The Chicago native, along with Gerry Nagel and John Rosich, was the main benefactor for the construction of the Gentile Center. Gentile was named the National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame Man of the Year in 1990 and earned the Founders Award one year later.
The facility is easily the most visible symbol in the current rise of the Rambler men and women's basketball teams. The Joseph J. Gentile Center replaced tradition-rich Alumni Gym as the Ramblers' basketball home. The new structure, located on the Lake Shore Campus, just east of Alumni Gym, is used for athletics, recreation and special events.
While the most visible tenants of this building are the Rambler basketball teams, an equally important group uses the building -- the Loyola student body. Whether for graduation, intramural activities or entertainment purposes such as concerts and speakers, the facility allows the Division of Student Development to greatly expand its offerings. The Gentile Center has also been the site of the Illinois High School Association boys and girls basketball supersectional rounds.
For the coming years, the 45,000-square-foot facility will be used not only for men's and women's basketball, but also for Loyola special events, as well as by the community in the Rogers Park-Edgewater neighborhood. Graduation, which used to be held downtown in Medinah Temple, also is held in the Gentile Center.
Prior to the 2006-07 season, the Gentile Center was outfitted with state-of-the-art video boards at each end of the basketball playing floor and the 2010-11 campaign will mark the final season of the arena's current configuration before a massive renovation project commences in May 2011.
The architecture firm of Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz and Associates Inc., is responsible for the facility's design. The same firm also designed the Simpson Living-Learning Center as well as the Information Commons.

Saturday, Feb. 27 -- at No. 20 Wake Forest (Winston-Salem, N.C.), noon
The No. 34-ranked University of Michigan men's tennis team (3-4) faces No. 20 Wake Forest (5-1) this Saturday (Feb. 27) at the University Indoor Tennis Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. The match will start at noon.
Déjà Vu
Michigan's trip to Wake Forest will be the second to the state of North Carolina this season. The Wolverines opened the dual-match portion of their schedule Jan. 23-24 in Raleigh against Vanderbilt and North Carolina State.
Last Time Out
Despite winning the doubles point, Michigan closed out its three-match home stand with a 6-1 loss to No. 22 North Carolina last Saturday (Feb. 20). The Wolverines won the doubles point by virtue of wins at No. 1 (from junior Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance) and freshman Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan) and No. 2 (from the senior tandem of George Navas (Tampa, Fla./Tampa Preparatory) and Mike Sroczynski (Chatham, N.J./Laurel Springs Prep). The Tar Heels won every singles match.
RadioTennis.com broadcasted the match to a worldwide audience from inside the Varsity Tennis Center. For a given match, the live audio webcast reaches close to 3,000 people.
Under Pressure
Junior Chris Madden (Lotus, Calif./Ponderosa) is no stranger to pressure-packed situations. He has clinched a Michigan win on two separate occasions this season by virtue of his victories at the No. 5 position (singles). Both of those wins have come against ranked opponents. Madden defeated No. 53 Charlie Jones (Vanderbilt), 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, in Michigan's season-opening dual match against Vanderbilt (Jan. 23) and defeated No. 73 Blas Moros of Notre Dame, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 on Feb. 13. Michigan won 4-3 both times.
Double Trouble
The Wolverines have won the doubles point in six of their seven matches this season. The No. 2 team of Navas and Sroczynski each have 14 doubles wins this season, most on the team (5-1 in dual matches).
Both are distinguished doubles players. Navas holds a 75-51 (.595) career record in doubles, while Sroczynski earned career doubles win No. 80 against Notre Dame. He is 81-44 (.648).
For his career, Navas has played in 126 doubles matches. Sroczynski has played in 125.
Frosh Phenom
King is proving why he was one of the highest-rated recruits in the country heading into the season. As a freshman, he's been playing consistently at No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles with junior Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance). He's 11-7 on the season in singles (4-2 in dual matches) and 7-6 in doubles (4-2 in dual matches).
Scouting the Competition
Wake Forest (5-1) has won its last five dual matches, with wins coming against Minnesota (4-2), William & Mary (5-2), Virginia Commonwealth (4-3), East Tennessee State (6-1) and Rice (5-2). Its lone loss was against Kentucky (4-3) at ITA Kick-Off Weekend (Jan. 30-31), the same event that Michigan was at. Though the two teams never faced each other, both played the same teams (each team beat Minnesota and lost to Kentucky).
Wake Forest has two ranked players: Tripper Carleton (No. 74) and Iain Atkinson (No. 107). The Demon Deacons' doubles team of Atkinson and Steven Forman is ranked No. 12 in the country.
U-M vs. Wake Forest
Michigan is 3-2 all-time against Wake Forest. Wake Forest won 6-1 last season in Ann Arbor (March 7, 2009). Navas gave Michigan its only point with a singles win at No. 5.
Road Warriors
After spending the first three weeks of February at home, the Wolverines head out on the road for the next three. After facing Wake Forest this weekend, Michigan heads to San Diego, Calif., for a neutral-site showdown with Cal on March 4. The road trip is rounded out against Texas on March 13 in Austin.
U-M in ITA Rankings
Michigan is ranked No. 34 in the latest ITA poll, released Feb. 23. Jung is ranked No. 33 in singles and King is ranked No. 67. Michigan does not have any doubles teams ranked.
Tested Against the Best
Michigan once again faces one of the toughest schedules in the country. This year, the Wolverines will face 18 opponents ranked in the ITA team rankings (the ITA ranks the top 75 teams). A complete table of opponent rankings and date played is listed below:

Navas Elected Captain
Navas was chosen as the team's captain for the 2009-10 season by his teammates. During the fall season, Navas went 2-3 in singles action and reached the doubles final at the Wilson/ITA Midwest Regional Championships with Jung. An exceptional student, Navas was named an ITA Scholar-Athlete for the 2008-09 season and is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection. He is one of two seniors on this year's roster, along with Sroczynski.
Future Wolverines
Shaun Bernstein (Plainview, N.Y./Plainview Old Bethpage JFK) and Justin Rossi (Novi, Mich./Laurel Springs Prep) have signed National Letters of Intent to play tennis at Michigan beginning in the 2010-11 academic year. Both Bernstein and Rossi are rated as blue-chip recruits by tennisrecruiting.net.
Rossi is now ranked No. 7 nationally by tennisrecruiting.net, while Bernstein checks in at No. 16. Michigan's class was ranked third best in the country by the website for its winter recruiting rankings.
In December, Bernstein was unseeded at the Coffee Bowl (Copa Cafe -- Costa Rica Junior ITF Tournament) but managed to reach the U-18 singles semifinal. He was the last player from the U.S. standing. Meanwhile, Rossi won the Midwest Winter Championships in Dayton, Ohio.
Leader of the Wolverines
Bruce Berque is in his sixth season as the head coach of the University of Michigan men's tennis team. He has taken the Wolverines to four straight NCAA Championships, including the Sweet 16 in 2008. Berque owns a career dual-meet record of 84-55, including a 34-16 mark in Big Ten play. In addition, the Wolverines have finished in the top half of the Big Ten in each of Berque's first five years at the helm, finishing no lower than fourth place.
He is assisted by associate head coach Sean Maymi, who is in his fourth season, and volunteer assistant Scott Oudsema, who is in his first.

Quality of Life Related to Oral Function in Edentulous Head and Neck Cancer Patients Posttreatment
Pieter J. Schoen, DDS, MD / Harry Reintsema, DDS, PhD / Jelte Bouma, PhD / Jan L.N. Roodenburg, DDS, MD, PhD / Arjan Vissink, DDS, MD, PhD / Gerry M. Raghoebar, DDS, MD, PhD
Purpose: Surgical treatment of malignancies in the oral cavity and subsequent radiotherapy often result in an oral condition unfavorable for prosthodontic rehabilitation. This study assessed the quality of life related to oral function in edentulous head and neck cancer patients following oncology treatment of malignancies in the lower region of the oral cavity. Materials and Methods: Patients treated between 1990 and 2000 with surgery and radiotherapy for a squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity who were edentulous in the mandible and had been treated with a conventional, non-implant-retained denture received an invitation for a clinical check-up (clinical assessment, questionnaires regarding oral function and quality of life). Results: Sixty-seven of the 84 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were willing to participate in the study. The mean irradiation dosage that these patients had received in the oral region was 61.8 � 5.4 Gy. Half of the patients (n = 33) were not very satisfied with their prostheses; they wore their mandibular prostheses at most a few hours per day. It was concluded from the clinical assessment that two thirds of the patients (n = 44) could benefit from an implant-retained mandibular denture. Analyses of the questionnaires revealed no significant associations between functional assessments, quality of life, and parameters such as size of the primary tumor, location of the primary tumor, and different treatment regimes. Despite cancer treatment, the patients reported a rather good general quality of life. Conclusions: Sequelae resulting from radiotherapy probably dominate oral function and quality of life after oncology treatment. In two thirds of the patients, improvement of oral function and related quality of life would be expected with the use of an implant-retained mandibular denture. Int J Prosthodont 2007; 20:469�477.

text: We are all born with the ability to know when we are in danger. I like to call this the "Yellow light Warning." Have you ever noticed that just about anything negative that has ever happened to you, there was some kind of warning beforehand? Like you let your sister drive your car and she got a ticket and against your better judgement you kept letting her drive and a week later she had an accident? Or you are being ignored at work all of the sudden by your superiors and a couple of months later you get fired. I've know people who ignored a pain in their chest and had a heart attack thereafter. The list goes on and on . In women it's called "intuition" and in men it's called "gut feeling" but it's all the same thing, it's that feeling or spiritual connection in your gut and/or core (being) that something is not right, someone around you can't be trusted, you are not paying attention or all hell is about to break loose. In the situation where we are surrounded with the wrong people there are some things that are obvious, to the point that you can see the dangers of some situations way in advance. The most important question we can ask ourselves is if this person doesn't value their own lives, how much will they value mines? It's a rhetorical question because some basic math should solve this simple equation. Nevertheless, here are a few people with various personality traits that you may need to watch out for more closely in your everyday dealings. The most important thing, and you have heard this before ALWAYS surround yourself with the right people.. (click "Next" for next segment above or below each time for next warning)

FOR THE SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY: Franklin Roosevelt and the World Crisis of the 1930s
It may be hard to believe that there's anything new to say about the place of FDR's New Deal in American and world history. But Hamby (Beyond the New Deal , etc.) does so in this sobering account of how well the U.S. managed its affairs during the Great Depression. What makes Hamby's approach fresh is his comparisons among the U.S. and the world's other great economic powers at the time, Great Britain and Germany. In the midst of an international whirlwind, each country went its own, nationalistic way. But as Hamby shows, their independent approaches to a universal crisis yielded benefits that go-it-alone policies now probably can't yield. In fact, while by 1940 both Britain and Germany had recovered from the Depression, the U.S. had not, despite FDR's huge efforts. The cost of recovery to Germany and the world of course was Nazism, war and genocide. Britain's integrity was better spared, and its social programs grew. But the U.S.? Hamby credits FDR with saving American democracy if not its economy, which was saved by the war. The president thus made possible the survival of free government elsewhere. The author's clarity and balance of judgment are marred somewhat with a cascade of facts. But his characterizations of people are always deft and occasionally surprising. He revives the reputation of Britain's Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and even has good things to say of the often reviled Neville Chamberlain. But at the center of this somewhat old-fashioned political and economic history is FDR's leadership. And that's what will draw readers to this solid, authoritative history. (Jan. 12)

Bulldogs Open Spring Semester At Bronco Classic
Jan. 31, 2013
By: Matt Burkholder
FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State women's indoor track and field team will get its season underway once again as the Bulldogs get set to travel to Nampa, Idaho for Saturday's Bronco Classic held at Jacksons Indoor Track with action beginning at 9 a.m. (MT).
The Bronco Classic kicks off a four week stretch where the 'Dogs will compete every weekend leading up to the Mountain West Indoor Championships held on Feb. 21-23. The 'Dogs have been on a seven week hiatus getting ready for its stretch run, they last competed on Dec. 7 at the Air Force Blue and Silver Open in Colorado Springs in its season opener.
"After a good start to the season at Air Force in Dec., we're looking forward to getting back on the track this semester," said head coach Scott Winsor. "The Bronco Classic is a chance for a select group of ladies to start us off on the right foot. "
"Of particular interest may be Stella Kubasch who will be competing in the 800m and the mile," Winsor added. "[Stella] didn't compete during the cross country season due to injury and she's probably very anxious to get her college career started."
Saturday's events will begin with the women's high jump at 9 a.m. (MT), while the running events begin at 10:30 a.m.
The Fresno State women will be competing against Division I foes Utah, Utah State, and host school Boise State. Also in competition will be Division II schools Cal State Stanislaus, Cal State LA and Northwest Nazerene. In addition, College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon, NAIA schools, as well as Treasure Valley Community College will be squaring off against the 'Dogs.
One of the 'Dogs rising stars to watch for at the Bronco Classic will be sophomore Je'Nia Sears who opened the season winning the long jump competition with a 5.83M jump in Colorado Springs.
"[Je'Nia] has been looking very good all fall and I know she's hungry for a conference title," said Winsor.
The day will conclude for Fresno State with the women's 4x400 meter relay at 3:40 p.m. Fans can keep up to date with live results on GoBulldogs.com.

Jury Smith's ceramic sculpture is quiet and unassuming; she works with volume and color constructing large forms finished with a subdued glaze color pallet. Her attention to surface is minimal, based on observations within the physical world. The pieces dominate the exhibition space with a reserved presence.Smith uses her glazes as an image-making material, while still considering the glaze attributes of sheen and texture. In her "Grey Series", she uses perspective by way of horizon or water lines, to activate a point of departure. Her "Color Series" uses colors to explore the interaction between color and function. When placed on a ceramic form, she sees these colors as more clearly revealing function.
Jury Smith's exhibition "white-out" will open at Plinth Gallery First Friday August 1 2014 from 6-9pm.The exhibition runs until September 26 2014

International concern for nuclear proliferation in the Indian Ocean has provided a beneficial spin-off for the researching of climate change and global warming in the region.
The Indian Ocean Climate Initiative project (IOCI) will use three listening devices to be installed by the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation as part of its global network for discouraging clandestine nuclear testing.
One of the monitoring posts will be installed in deep water off Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia. Others will be located off British Indian Ocean Territory in the northern Indian Ocean, and near the French sub-Antarctic island of Crozet.
The IOCI climate project will use the nuclear detection system to measure the speed at which sound signals pass through the ocean - the speed relates directly to the water temperature, increasing as the temperature rises. At this stage, the preferred site for the sound source for the IOCI project is the Cocos Islands.
The resultant data will be invaluable for measuring climate change and global warming.
CSIRO Marine Research recently won a contract for site survey work for the Cape Leeuwin hydroacoustic station, work being undertaken in conjunction with Curtin University's Centre of Marine Science and Technology, and WA-based Fugro Survey Pty Ltd.
During the past six days (June 3-9) the team was aboard the French research vessel Marion Dufresne deploying current meters and hydrophones at depths of 1600 and 150 metres off Cape Leeuwin. The Marion Dufresne returned to Fremantle Tuesday afternoon, June 9.
The CSIRO's Dr Andrew Forbes said the meters will be in the water for four months, and will provide information on deep water currents and the range of background noise (shipping, distant storm fronts, wind and waves, whales and dolphins etc.) which can be expected from acoustic listening devices deployed in the vicinity.
Dr Forbes said the IOCI project will generate information beyond the realm of established oceanographic research techniques such as satellite remote sensing and information from research ships.
"In particular it will provide a better understanding of regional influences on Australian rainfall which has strong links to Indian Ocean temperatures.
"The hydroacoustic network of sound transmitters and listening posts across the Indian Ocean will provide us with an acoustic thermometer for mapping temperatures across thousands of kilometres," Dr Forbes said.
The Indian Ocean project follows the success of similar acoustic trials in the Pacific Ocean in 1996 and 1997 by United States and Australian oceanographers. Like the Pacific trials it will use low level, low frequency sound emissions at depths of one kilometre or more, designed not to disturb dolphins and whales.
The innovative US$35 million Pacific project was delayed for more than a year while concerns over the possible impact of signals on marine mammals were laid to rest. Granted a permit in 1995 by the US National Marine Fisheries Service, the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) program began transmissions across the Pacific Ocean from Pioneer Seamount off San Francisco in December that year.
Now, a second transmitter has been installed off Hawaii, which also is being used to assess the effects, if any, on marine mammals, particularly humpback whales. Monitoring of marine mammals to date has established that there are no detectable effects on their behaviour due to the acoustic thermometry signals.
Dr Forbes was ATOC Director from 1994-95, while on secondment to Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He worked alongside Professor Walter Munk, the renowned oceanographer who conceived the idea of transmitting sound to detect ocean climate change.

Steamboat Springs After growing up in Steamboat, I know personally the struggle teens face to find something fun to do on a Friday or Saturday night. Like it or not, the mountain is closed at four o'clock and starting then, most of the teens here have nothing better to do with their time than participate in activities most adults seem to find so irresponsible and wrong.
I would like to remind the voting adults of our community that it is in your power to create safe environments for us. As you go to vote, please know that should the rec center fail to pass, you may think a stand-alone teen center is an option. Our town has tried this, like The Dock, and failed. No teen will want to go to a center designated for youth because, in teen minds, that is not cool. We want to be treated like adults, like the maturing citizens that we are, and be able to go to a teen center that is part of a community recreation center. This would have something for everyone, and all families would be welcomed and included along with the teens. That small difference will be the weight that will tip the balance on the scale of success or failure in the plan.
Another issue that I personally am facing is the fact that in order for me to pursue the one sport I love, I would have to drive to Craig all winter in order to swim for their high school. It is somewhat humiliating to have to swim for our school's rival simply because our town is lacking the facility needed to have our own diving and swim team. With Steamboat High School students driving over to dive for the Moffat County High School as well as swim on their team, the argument that there is not a need for an indoor pool and diving well is immediately diminished. I understand that when we get a rec center I will have graduated, but I would like to hope that my 9-year-old sister could have the option I always have wished I had.
Please think about the future. Think about the future you see in your life and the one you would like to see in ours. The current available facilities will no longer fulfill the needs of families and youth in our town, let alone the rest of the adult community. This is very clear. A community recreation center is the solution to this growing need and I hope that you can see that and act as responsible, educated adults and give us what we as teens, as families and as a community deserve. Vote yes on 2B and 2C, for those of us who cannot vote but are eager to be heard.
Thank you.
Michelle Lichtenfels, age 16
Steamboat Springs High School junior

Cross bow
As some know I've been debating whether to get a crossbow or not. Well the old pain man has just about convinced me that if I want to stay in the woods for archery then a crossbow is going to happen. For those who have crossbows, I'd like your opinions regarding what new brands/model you have and like. Excaliber makes some nice bows and are light weight and fast but don't know about noise. Thanks for your input.
Let me know how you make out on this.I have the same question.
Went to Bass pro tonight and shot a Excalibur Vortex model. Very impressed. Advertised speed 330pfs. With the 3x scope I was able to nearly hit the same hole in the target. This is a 200lb pull bow and with the rope assist I was able to pretty easily get it cocked. I really liked the thumb hole stock which fit me well. The trigger seemed to be in the 4 lb range, just a guess. These bows are just over 6lbs, something I have decided works for me. This is a upper middle of the road priced crossbow package and may end up with it in a couple of weeks.
Let me know how it works out!
Excalibur recurve bows are great. It's a lot easier to change a broken string when out on a hunt.
The bow is on it's way. Found a 2011 on line with the Excalibur nice case and the full lite stuff package for the Vortex. Save a bundle over Bass Pro's price. Will report on it in a week or so. :pickle:
Glad you got one HM
I never had a problem with the noise
the bolt is there before they can react
