Hello from Louisiana
Good morning all. Well, I guess we're all still here and 12/21/12 is another 'doomsday' in the books. My wife and I are new owners of a German Shepard dog/pup named Lola. She is 4 months old and we've had her for about a week now. She's quite a handful at times with the jumping and playful biting but we're working with her. Hope to see her turn into a gorgeous adult female GSD and stay with our family for years to come. Pictures to come soon.
Welcome from East Texas! Congratulations on your new girl
Hello & Welcome! Congrats on the your new pup!

"Zha Zha in Louisianna"
Yesterday I went to the Vet for my last round of shots. The vet sais I have a cherry eye, my mommy was scared she thought it was a stye. But the Vet sais this sometimes happens to Shih Tzu's because of there bulging eyes,I didn't know it but Shih Tzu's have 3 eye lids and sometimes what happens is one of the other two try to grow out, but he sais it is nothiing to worry about. Worse case scenario is that they might have to do Surgery on that eye to tuck the eyelid back into place, but thats only if it gets bigger and starts to irritate Zha Zha. Other than that I'm in great health, NOW! My mommy is very glad.After the vet we went to Pet Smart and mommy bought me a new shirt and a very cute little hat, and a treat cause I was so good at da vet. Me wuvz me mommy!
Today I got up to go see my baby Zha Zha.WhenI got there they said she could go home today......Thank you Lord!!!!!! But it wasn't going to be till the evening before she could go. I wasn't to happy about that,but at least she does get to come home. So from here it's just a waiting game!...............................
Well it's time to go get my Baby,they just called and said by the time I got there she would be ready to go home. So I went to go get her and I could tell she was so happy to get out of there..
..........So we get home,and the first thing she did was go over to her bed,got up in it and went to sleep.....They sent some medicine home with me, she has to take it for 5 more days.....And it was a bear getting her to take it,I don't know how the vets do it ,they make it look so easy, but it's not that easy when I go to do it at all,but I managed to do it. Zha Zha is feeling soooo much better she woke up from her long nap,rarin to go,you would have never thought that just 2 days ealier she was knocking on deaths door.
Well today is the second day Zha Zha has been in the hospital.I only got one hour of sleep last night, or this morning I should say ,cause I didn't fall asleep until 5:00am and only slept till 6:00am.......Got up ,got dressed,and went to see my little Pooky Bear........When I got there as soon as she seen me come around the corner,she headed straight for the front of the cage!Her little tail was waggin and she was givin me kisses on my fingers, I could tell she was so happy to see me. But unfortunetly there was no change in her progress, and I didn't know if that was a good thing or bad. I guess it was O.K cause she was still alive! Thank You Jesus!!!!!....................Later on during the day they had called me and said she was doing a little better.........
...I had went there and stayed with her four times today.Once in the morning and once in the afternoon,then they call me and told me she took a turn for the worst. Then I went straight back up there and stayed with her for as long as they would let me,which was for an hour and a half. Then I get back home and about two hours later they called me and said she had done a miracluas turn around, she had started eating and drinking water. So needless to say I was so relieved. So I drove back to the hospital and she was doing better!So I stayed with her for about 45 minutes, then I had to tell her good night for the last time for the day.But before I left they said if she keeps improving the way she is that she might be able to come home tomorrow.Yeeaahh!!!!!!

Rat Freaks People Out
I've been to New York, and it's not the cleanest city in the world. I would think people that live there would be used to the filth...and the smell. It's because of that filth the city has a huge rat problem. Apparently the people that live there aren't that used to seeing them trot around them on a normal basis. Check out what happened when a rat makes an appearance on the subway.


text: Yeah, there was one play in particular that points this out. There was an alley oop pass thrown in the first game and LeBron and Kobe both dunked it. Even on the replay, it was hard to tell who to give the bucket to. When Kidd is on the break, he can throw it to Mello, Lebron, Kobe, or Dwight Howard!? Basically anything that doesn't hit the roof will be caught and dunked. The most impressive thing to me, besides Kobe's defense, is Kidd's ability to strip the ball from his man. Even though I'm rooting for the US, it is just annoying the way he does that. It looks like he's fouling the guy, but every replay shows a clean strip. I'm a big Billups fan, but Kidd is doing a better job than Chaunce would be doing in the starting lineup.

The change in hours also includes closing one hour earlier – 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. – at libraries in Modesto and Turlock. The new hours represent a net increase of 84 hours per week countywide.

Always liked Sheriff Clarke. One of the few who says what needs to be said but no one is ever willing to say when it comes to public officials.

Nice to have a good sheriff who gets it - and is not afraid to say so
Always liked Sheriff Clarke. One of the few who says what needs to be said but no one is ever willing to say when it comes to public officials.
Wow! That is so great! I had the impression Milwaukee wasn't overly gun friendly, but that sheriff sure is.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Wasn't it Clarke that told his deputees to take down anyone oc'ing?
Sheriff Clarke is awesome.
Here's a few quotes from an article he wrote last December after the Sandy Hook shooting:
"The second amendment is as sacred a right as is first amendment or any other amendment. I'll be willing to have a conversation with liberals about gun control in the same conversation we should have about whether government should restrict our first amendment right or how about whether we should scale back our fourth amendment rights, how about restricting our 14th amendment due process rights? Let's have a debate about the second amendment in that same conversation. Then let's see what the left has to say about restricting our freedoms."
"I have a better idea to all this run and hide advice. An armed tactical trained officer or security officer in every school and public place (theaters, malls, etc) in America. How are we going to pay for it? With all the money we spend on "going green projects and other waste of money social service spending we do. And spare me the idea of more gun control. Gun control has never worked and never will. That's a sheep mentality. It's like saying lets capture all the wolves and then the sheep will be safe. Yeah right. I've had it with these sociopaths slaughtering innocent people who are in no position to defend themselves."
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. - Rule #23 in the USMC rules for gunfighting.
Someone should give that Sheriff a cigar, a steak dinner and a big pat on the back.
The interesting thing is that he's the polar opposite of the Mayor, MKE PD Chief, and County Exec Abele. He's usually the voice of reason when you see problems in the area, but in general he doesn't get enough support. It would be nice to see more officials as vocal as Sheriff Clarke.
Clarke may not last long. The Libs have cut his department a lot already and have been working to turn over many of his departments duties to Milwaukee police.
It is the Milwaukee's Chief of Police, Flynn that tells his officers to take them to the ground.
You don't hear of to many of Clarke's officers being arrested but you sure do see a lot of Flynn's in the news for crimes.
I wish Sheriff Clarke was my sheriff! He's spot-on with this, which is pretty common with him. He's a winner for sure!

I couldn't agree with Sheriff Clarke more! It's nice to see someone who is not afraid to speak the truth or afraid to take the heat that comes with it in a city that isn't extremely gun friendly. It would be nice to see him get more support, but I can't see that happening with the current state of Politics in Milwaukee.
Sheriff Clarke: "Calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option"
"One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation."
--Thomas B. Reed, American Attorney
Second Amendment -- Established December 15, 1791 and slowly eroded ever since What happened to "..... shall not be infringed."
Sheriff Al Cannon is Charleston County, SC is another good guy, who recently told everyone that he really could not care less what the dictator wannabe living in the whitehouse wants or says. He has enough laws on the books to see to it that the BGs get what they deserve and that the citizens get what they need to protect themselves. He will get reelected, contrary to the outpouring of criticism from the lame brain among us who wouldn't know a 2A or a constitution from a hole in the wall and would probably be the first ones complaining when one of their equally lame brain loved ones became a victim.
Sounds like a good man to me! I am lucky to have a good sheriff as well, Sheriff Joe Arpaio! He definitely says what needs to be said.
"We're partners now. Can I count on you?"
Makes one wonder what the relationship has previously been. Seemingly, he fully recognizes it hasn't been a "partnership."
His message is straight-up. Prayer and pixie dust ain't a plan, when under violent attack by a criminal. And as he acknowledges, neither is calling 911 and merely hoping it'll all stop until help arrives. He's right on the money: you have a duty to protect yourself and your family. Absolutely.
Kudos for his no-nonsense message.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Kudos! Our own "Sheriff Joe"

@billyboosterLocale: So Cal
I own a Mountain Hardwear Haven 3 – the inner is perfect, tub perfect but the fly has seen, evidently, some moisture and that caused it to lose it's inner seam sealing and that, in turn, meant some seams just peeled apart!
I contacted Mountain Hardwear to see, on the off-chance, if they would recommend a solution and they offered me approximately $300 of credit in their store against, i presume, a tent!
Not one to say no to a new tent, regardless of it's weight (given i car camp wit 4 year olds who don't get the idea of tarps), I'm really unsure which to choose!!! So, $300-$320 is your budget, you want it to add to your 'family' kit, which would you choose?
Not much of a choice, but if you are car camping, I'd get the Corners 4 and spend a few xtra bucks, for some extra space.
@billyboosterLocale: So Cal
Now there are some things that look better than a big ol'tent!

ABU DHABI, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Dubai government is capable of honoring and meeting its commitments inside and outside the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a senior official said Monday.
A distinction should be made between the Dubai government and Dubai World, one of Dubai's largest and most important conglomerates, Abdul Rahman Al Saleh, director general of Dubai Finance Department, told al-Jazeera TV, according to the official news agency WAM.
He reiterated the Dubai government's announcement that it would not guarantee debts of the group, which is made up of several companies -- including real estate developer Nakheel and Limitless-- operating in various sectors.
"Articles of association of Dubai World stipulates that the emirate's government shall not guarantee its debts," Al Saleh said.
He stressed that the restructuring of Dubai World is a natural procedure that can happen in many countries and companies.
"The media has blown the issue of restructuring part of the group's debts including the delay of repaying Nakheel's debts out of proportion," he said, adding that restructuring of companies is a frequent practice worldwide in many countries and companies.
"The aim of restructuring is to allow the group steam ahead with a new shape and keep abreast of changes," Al Saleh said.
Asked about the possibility of putting off projects being undertaken by Dubai World, he said, "It is better and wise to delay projects that have not been executed yet."
Al Saleh did not rule out the possibility of selling some assets of the group in Dubai or abroad.
"Selling of some assets is a natural act in order to bolster the financial situation of the group in such circumstances," he said.
The official described Dubai World as "active" in many sectors, saying only its real estate sector was hit by the international financial crisis.
The government of Dubai, a member of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates, announced on Nov. 25 that it would ask Dubai World's creditors to agree to a debt moratorium of at least six months as a first step towards restructuring.
The announcement, described by ratings agency Standard and Poor's as a default, provided the focus for global financial markets and media, affecting stock markets around the world.

We approximate β~(λ) be a linear combination of continuous, complex functions of λ, with unknown coefficients. The aim is to provide approximations that are parsimonious in parameters and appropriate to the circumstances.

Now, the perfect alternative is to purchase your own espresso machine so that you can make your own espresso at home at anytime you want. At least, you can enjoy as many cups of espresso without having to spend too much money. You can even make as much espresso as you want, and even invite your friends to enjoy a good cup of espresso during your spare time.
Have you been asking yourself? "Where can I buy a good espresso machine?" There are ways that you can utilize, in order to get hold of a good and dependable espresso maker. Here are the two ways that you can employ when you finally decide to purchase a good espresso machine:
• Purchase from a local home store or shop- You can certainly find a good espresso machine from a home store or shop. Check out in your local area or mall because most likely, they have the right espresso machine that would satisfy your needs.
• Shop online- Another method of finding a good espresso machine is by shopping on the Internet. More and more consumers would opt for this method because it is convenient. They just need an Internet and computer, and they can instantly shop for a good espresso machine.

Whatever your choice is, just make sure that you do your research first to ensure that you are getting the right espresso machine that will be worth your investment.

Now, when purchasing a good espresso machine, consider some essential factors so that you will not go wrong with your choice. Here are some vital factors that you need to consider when buying an espresso machine:
• Budget- Consider your budget. How much money do you want to spend on a good espresso machine? Expensive espresso makers are not really recommended, since there are budget models that would be able to satisfy your needs.
• Features- Take into consideration what you really need when it comes to espresso machine. Opt for an espresso maker with multiple features so that you can produce espresso, and the same time, make a regular coffee.
• Easy to maintain and clean- You should also opt for an espresso machine that is easy to clean and maintain. This way, you do not have to spend too much time just to clean your espresso maker after using it.
These are some of the essential elements that you need to consider when buying a good espresso machine. Seek recommendations from friends and family, or research over the Internet so that you can get hold of the most suitable espresso maker.

Raise a Glass to Mississippi's Beer Culture
Every day at Southern Living we hear more news from the craft beer scene, and this week it was Mississippi in the spotlight. On Monday, Mississipi became the 49th state to legalize homebrewing (You're next, Alabama!) thanks to the lobbying efforts of the nonprofit Raise Your Pints.
At the recently opened Delta Brewing Supply in Greenville, homebrewers across the Magnolia State who want to get started can find everything from grains to equipment for making batches of porters and IPAs plus get their growlers refilled.
Homebrewers aren't the only ones who have reason to cheer–this spring, two new breweries open in Hattiesburg.
Southern Prohibition Brewing Company will launch their two flagship craft beers including Suzy B Dirty Blonde Ale in April and later will become the first craft brewery in the state to can their beer.
After homebrewing for nearly two decades, the husband-and-wife team at Gordon Creek Brewery is busy brewing test batches and expects to have beer such as their Pinebelt Pale Ale (their take on an American Pale Ale) ready in late April.
Until the suds start flowing from homebrewing and in Hattiesburg, grab a pint at these breweries.
Mississippi's first brewery, Lazy Magnolia, has been making beer for nearly a decade. Visit their brewery in Kiln to try Southern selections such as their Southern Pecan beer, a nutty beer made with whole pecans, or Jefferson Stout, a sweet potato cream stout.
Brewing beer started as a hobby for the brewmaster of the eventual Lucky Town Brewing Co. in Gluckstadt. Lucky for us, the beers such as The Flare Incident (an oatmeal stout) and Ballistic Blonde (a Belgian blonde ale) can be found on tap all over the Jackson area.
Crooked Letter Brewing Co. opened in November 2012 in Ocean Springs and has three beers on tap: Gipsy IPA, Crooked Heffy (an American-style Hefeweizen), and Mystery Romp (a mocha porter). The Crooked Letter crew will release their Italian lager, Stabello, at the end of March.
All the news gives us a reason to raise a glass and cheer along with Mississippi. Tell us: what's your favorite craft beer?

Mk2 Cat location and application
Hey guys I was curious as to how difficult it is to access the catt and remove it on our cars. Once I get a tuner I want to decat my focus, also are there test pipes available?
The cat and exhaust manifold are all on piece on the 08+. To remove the cat you will end up removing the exhaust manifold also. You could get a header and install it in place of the exhaust manifold. You could then run something like a FSW racing exhaust (it'll be loud as ballz though)
Oh is the manifold bolt on and could I put it back on if I needed to ?
yeah, if you needed to pass emissions you could swap the exhaust manifold/cat back in.
yes it bolts to the head and the catback exhaust. and can be reinstalled if needed (i did that on mine). if you do a header then you def want the stealth exhaust. even with that it's still loud, but much quieter than the race exhaust.
That's sick I was worried, is the manifold easy to get to or does it require a mechanic? Thanks for answering my questions I appreciate it!
you'll just need sockets and diff extensions and a wrench for a couple of the bottom row bolts. not bad to get to, but you will need to get stuff from the bay and from underneath. should take 2-4 hours first time.
so why would you want to delete the cat? it doesnt effect the performance of the car and getting the check engine light off will be difficult.
I am in Cali, they check everything, and I am willing to put alot of time into it! I want to take it off because it sounds sick, and it does help the preformance. I am buying a tuner before I decat it.

Police In The U.S. Could Soon Have "Pain Ray" Guns
Friday, December 26, 2008 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
Imagine a world where police have the ability to torture from a distance anyone they want at the touch of a button.
Does that sound like something out of a science fiction novel?
It's not.
It is in the final stages of development and could soon be a reality on the streets of America.
NewScientist is reporting that the U.S. Department of Justice is developing two portable "non-lethal" weapons that inflict severe pain from a distance using either microwave technology or laser beams.
According to that report, the intention of the U.S. Department of Justice is to put these pain ray weapons into the hands of police on the streets of America.
Some observers are very upset about this development, as they claim that giving police the ability to instantly torture anyone they want from a distance is a very dangerous thing to do.
Others are applauding the development of these new "non-lethal" weapons as a step away from the use of "lethal" weapons by police.
All of this comes a couple of months after a report that the U.S. Army will be deploying mobile pain ray trucks (called the Active Denial System) that have the capability to instantly fry the flesh of whole crowds of protesters using microwave technology.
Imagine that.
A whole crowd of rioters actually being cooked like they are in a microwave oven.
Frightening stuff.
Instead of finding more ways to torture and kill one another, perhaps we all should be looking for more ways to love each other.
Just a thought.


text: I have a 2008 Escalade EXT and last September I was in an accident were I was hit down my drivers side door. I took it to the dealer to be repaired. Now my driver door lock actuator has gone bad. I've only put a few thousand mile on the truck since the accident and the dealer won't warranty the work to fix it. Come to find out also that they used the old parts from the damaged door. I've worked in the automotive industry for many years and wouldn't think those types of part would be reused due to failure later. Is this procedure to use these old parts? Now I'm stuck with a door that doesn't lock, unless manually.

Andrew Isaacs's Book Recommendations
Reading List:
• THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA by Clayton M. Christensen
"It amazes me that this is not a more widely required text in MBA programs. Christensen has made an excellent contribution that drives to some of the core issues of innovation for both established technology companies and start-ups. I use it as a basis for class discussion among my MBA and graduate engineering students at Berkeley, and to explore how technology companies in the present day can easily fall into the traps Christensen describes."
• CROSSING THE CHASM and INSIDE THE TORNADO by Geoffrey A. Moore
"These books are dated in terms of the examples used, but they are still great for probing technology lifecycle and marketing issues. In some ways, using these texts are '"back to basics': the material is straight-forward and essential for technology marketing. I use the texts in my course Marketing for High Tech Entrepreneurs."
• REGIONAL ADVANTAGE by Annalee Saxenian
"I use this text in my graduate course Opportunity Recognition: Technology and Entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. Understanding technology business requires understanding the settings in which it takes place. Much has changed since Saxenian wrote this book, and she and others have covered those changes, but Saxenian is still the essential starting point to any understanding of how technology centers operate."

May 13, 2012: Circus coming to Steamboat Springs
After watching an Internet video reportedly showing animal handlers from the Carson & Barnes Circus abusing elephants, I decided to dig a little deeper into their practices. I didn't find one or two problems but six pages of violations documenting how this circus has failed to meet minimal federal standards for the care of animals used in exhibition. Starting in 1982 when five elephants tried to escape from the circus in Oklahoma (one elephant was killed during this incident) to December 2011 when they were cited for failure to protect elephants from injury, it was clear that this was a company that has had little to no regard for public safety or animal welfare.
Then I looked into the Endangered Ark Foundation, which they claim will receive proceeds from tonight's show. The foundation is owned and operated by Carson & Barnes Circus. It calls itself an elephant breeding facility and appears to have been created in part to maintain elephants for use in their circuses.
The fact that the Steamboat Today did not report on any of the numerous violations, the documented animal abuses or the circus's ties to its own Endangered Ark Foundation charity is a disservice to our community. I ask the newspaper to please do your research before you provide free front-page advertising to groups like this.

I think its ok, because they are AIR RIFLES. Not a firearm. I personally wouldnt let him borrow mine, but kindly point him to Dicks where they can be cheaply purchased.
My neighbor down the road has something ravaging his chickens and ducks. I know he can't have a firearm in his possession, but I would assume a pellet rifle would be ok? He thinks it's coyotes, but whatever it is, is watching for when he isn't there.
I have a pellet rifle that could at least give most things an unpleasant zip. Unfortunately, since the poultry is free ranging, traps are out.
Anyhow.. is there any laws anyone is aware of that would prevent me from giving him a pellet rifle?
I think its ok, because they are AIR RIFLES. Not a firearm. I personally wouldnt let him borrow mine, but kindly point him to Dicks where they can be cheaply purchased.
Well, IANAL, but in the city limits of Elkhart, discharging a pellet gun is considered discharging a weapon, and as such can land you in serious trouble - it is considered a weapon in that it fires a projectile...... as such, it is reasonable to assume that should he be caught with a "weapon", and it slips that you gave it to him, that you may find yourself in more trouble than it is worth.
Mortui non mordant.......
I have known him for most of my life. A very trustworthy person. Just one of those deals where trying to fight it was more expensive than taking the plea agreement... something I try to warn people about regarding plea agreements. They seem so easy, but you have to think of all the consequences.
Also fortunately we both live in the country. So no laws about discharging pellet guns.. or other firearms for that matter
upon more searching, some states consider a firearm anything that can shoot a bullet...and a pelletgun is included, which sounds funny at frist, but if youve seen what a big bore pellet gun can do...i guess it makes sense. i dont know about IN for sure, but it doesnt seem worthwhile to partake in any way.
Called the Sheriff's department and they didn't know. All they would say is that it's not a "firearm" but they were not sure.
I can't give your neighbor legal advice, but here is Indiana's definition of a "firearm":
Sec. 5. "Firearm" means any weapon:
(1) that is:
(A) capable of expelling; or
(B) designed to expel; or
(2) that may readily be converted to expel;
a projectile by means of an explosion.
As I've said before, to me, "an explosion" would require ignition and combustion, as opposed to merely the release of compressed air.
By contrast, look at the first portion of Illinois' definition of "firearm," which specifically captures some air guns, depending on muzzle velocity and caliber of the projectile:
"'Firearm' means any device, by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile or projectiles by the action of an explosion, expansion of gas or escape of gas; excluding however:
(1) any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun or B-B gun which either expels a single globular projectile not exceeding .18 inch in diameter and which has a maximum muzzle velocity of less than 700 feet per second or breakable paint balls containing washable marking colors;
(2) . . . . ."
Hope this helps.

Kentucky Health News
A new national study shows teen drug and alcohol use are at their lowest rates since the 1990s, a trend that is also seen in Kentucky's teens.
The national survey of about 50,000 high school students found that "considerably fewer teens reported using any illicit drug other than marijuana in the prior 12 months — 5 percent, 10 percent and 14 percent in grades 8, 10 and 12, respectively — than at any time since 1991," says the news release.

In hopes of becoming the new home of a VA medical center, Radcliff Mayor Mike Weaver is offering free land off Ky. 313.
The 50-acre site in Millpond Business Center has all utilities in place, and all geotechnical studies and ground-soil testing are completed and on file. Also, Ky. 313 provides direct access from Interstate 65.
"It would be much more convenient than where it is now or their proposed site," Weaver said.
FRANKFORT, Ky. - The Office of the State Climatologist and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, in coordination with the Kentucky Drought Mitigation Team, have removed the Level One Drought Declaration that was issued for much of the state on Nov. 10.
Following this weekend's abundant precipitation, all of the state is above normal for precipitation for the past 30 days.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A group of U.S. Representatives, led by Kentucky's Fourth District Congressman Thomas Massie, has launched the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus.
"The recent election results present us with a new opportunity to advance pro-gun legislation and reverse the erosion of the Second Amendment that's occurred over the last few decades.

The stockmarket closed lower yesterday despite a positive start as cautious investors took profits in late trading.
Big mining stocks showed early strength on the back of higher base metals prices but closed lower. Weakness among most of the major banks also weighed upon the bourse.
"We were lulled into a false sense of security," CMC Group chief dealer Brian Griffin said.
Mr Griffin said the market had enjoyed some very positive sessions of late and investors decided late to "sell into strength" rather than wait for a possibly falling market.

Chicago, IL - Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be honored June 13th at the 15th annual Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy dinner at Navy Pier.
Secretary Clinton, who as First Lady was the keynote speaker at the inaugural CURE dinner in 1999, was the driving force behind the first White House Conference on Curing Epilepsy.
"Hillary Clinton is, in many ways, one of the founding mothers of CURE," said Susan Axelrod, CURE's chair. "Her support gave our movement for more and better research a critical boost right from the start. We are thrilled that she is returning to mark our 15th anniversary and the progress she helped make possible."
Epilepsy affects 65 million people worldwide. For over one-third of patients, current therapies are ineffective, and each year 200,000 more are diagnosed. Though progress has been made, there is still no cure. CURE raises funds for cutting-edge research and works to increase awareness about the prevalence and devastation of the disease.
Last year's event raised over $1 million for research in epilepsy and CURE hopes to exceed that this year. Proceeds benefit research toward this critically underfunded disease.

So I just finished reading "the zone" on the plane...I never really was a big fan of diets, supplements, or crazy nutrion plans. I've always been a "calories in/calories out/everything in moderation" kinda guy and it's worked reasonably well for me so far (I could probably moderate the beer a bit better sometimes...different story).
Anyway, since this workout's been working so well and the prevailing wisdom seems to be that diet is more important than excercise...thought I'd try to expand my mind a bit.
most of the approach outlined in the book does make sense to me...although I also read through the AMA criticism of the zone diet
(http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=11234 - the journal article is especially in depth, although I think the focus may be on high-protein diets in general rather than zone diet specifically)
I'm a bit worried about changing my approach to nutrition, worried about the potential perils of untested fad diets, worried if all the claims in the book can be backed scientifically, wondering if maintaining this stricter diet will be more of a hassle than it's worth...etc.
so - any negative experiences or general critical thoughts out there with this type of diet? anyone find it too hard to stick to?
I'm also wondering a bit about the cost of buying this much protein every week...and maybe even the negative environmental impact of this diet (is it sustainable if everyone lived in the zone? I try to live as green as possible, these things concern me.)

New Tires HELP!
Hey guys,
I have a 2012 Altitude and looking for some new tires for my stock 20" rims. I have had 2 tires patched now due to nails (new neighborhood with careless workers!) but there is a continuous leak in each that Les Schwab indicated just could not be fixed. For now, I'm rolling with them and airing up once a month, but I need a long-term solution.
I live in Boise, ID so we get weather of all types - 100+ degrees in the summer, sub-zero snow & ice in the winter, etc. I was thinking of going with Toyo AT's but they don't make a tire that fits. Another thought is BFG AT? I am an aggressive driver but want something with decent tread for our winters and if I want to take the family camping in the mountains. I'm also looking for something with decent value as we're trying to buy a new house in the near future.
Thanks for any input!!!
Re: New Tires HELP!
Nokian Rotiiva AT.
Re: New Tires HELP!
Any specific reason why those over anything else? Are they available at most tire shops?
Re: New Tires HELP!
If you're looking for a better price, new(ish) tire/tread design that performs well in most conditions, I'd look into the Cooper AT3, Hercules Terra Trac AT II or Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10. They seem to be the cheapest of the AT crowd and have much better designs than the overpriced BFG ATs, IMO. Those are just outdated and don't really do well in wet conditions, from what I've read. But that varies from person to person and forum to forum. So YMMV.
I've also read lots of good things about the Nokian brand tires, but they are kind of hard to find and a bit more pricey.
Re: New Tires HELP!
I've got the bridgestone Dueler A/T and couldn't be happier. Great performance on dry and snowy pavement. Nice aggressive look and don't make too much sound at highway speeds.
Re: New Tires HELP!
Could look at Cooper Zeons. I know a couple other members on here run them. My vote would also be for the Nokian Rotiva's - those Finlanders know how to make tires. I'll be getting a set as soon as the Silent Armors wear a bit more. Yes they are more difficult to find, but oh so worth the money.

Re: New Tires HELP!
They ARE really good tires, and their winter studs are impossible to beat, but you wouldn't want to run them in summer.
Cooper worked a bit better for me than Hankook did, but both are good serviceable midrange tires.
Re: New Tires HELP!
Thanks for all the info guys! I definitely want to buy through a shop locally so that I can get all of the service comp'd. I have Discount Tire & Les Schwab nearby.
Reading some great reviews on these Yokohamas: Tire Details - Discount Tire
Are these the Deulers you're speaking of:Tire Details - Discount Tire
Re: New Tires HELP!
OK, maybe the 20 inch model doesn't suck as bad as the 18 standard on the WK2...
The Nitto is a good tire, so is the Dueller, the Goodyear Wrangler appears to have a promotion in your area. I personally don't care for the Wrangler, but it is a very good all around tire.
They don't list the Michelin MS/2, it is on the other end of the spectrum from the Latitude. Excellent all around tire with very good wet and cold traction--and excellent tread wear on top of that. It is available in 20 inch size if Schwab has them. Pricey, but really worth it if you want to forget about tires for the next 5 years.
Re: New Tires HELP!
The tires you are showing here on the links, IMHO, I would not use them for the winter. For a winter tire, first of all, you need a softer compound that has the ability to give you traction in the colder temperatures. And second, the tread patterns are not right. These tire will get either suck or have nasty problem with poor traction.:eek:
The Nokian Rotiva AT for the 20's right now come in either 275/55/20 or 275/60/20. You can check with Nokian, they have an excellent costumer service department. I got mine online from TIRESBYWEB.COM, excellent service and had them installed by my local Goodyear dealer.
Nokian Tyres North America
Their are not many tires in the stock size for on/off road all terrain usage. Many here have use various different sizes with excellent results. All the tire manufactures are great for checking which fits the best. Look at GY, Cooper and Toyo tires.
When it comes to tires in the winter, my father always told me do not look for the easy way out, pay more for a better tire can save your life.
Best for now.:)
Re: New Tires HELP!
I choose the Cooper Zeon LTZ to replace my OEMs and I couldn't be happier. :thumbsup:
Re: New Tires HELP!
Thanks for the info, man! What size did you get? Doesn't look like they come in the standard sizing (265/50R-20).

Date of Stay: September, 2013
Very busy, but lots of trees and near the river. Very close to Christina Lake Golf Club, is a bonus. Dirt roads, but still big rig friendly. Office not staffed all day. Nice place for a few days.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Very expensive for what you get $76 per night 2 adults with dog, dusty and noisy. Management was very unfriendly and inconsiderate . Sites are small and you feel congested, the pool is located next to the busy highway. Their are plenty other great camp grounds in this lovely area for less.
