Midori…a flavor as ancient as…ummm around 1978. This generic honeydew-mellon-with-a-kiss-of-pear flavored liqueur has titillated the uninitiated, the sweet cocktail lover, the club-hopper and disco queen, and the ladies night out, as far back as the first season of The Love Boat. I think it's time we toasted this green ode to the non-whiskey drinker with a short list of her own cocktails. For some reason only the fates know, I've been brushing up against Midori more than I usually do. The bar gods were trying to tell me something.
Sent down to my basement bar for a round recently, a guest cracked into my opened fifteen year old, non-intentionally aged, Midori (how they were able to twist the sugar-sealed cap off, I'll never know) and whipped up a quick round of Mellon Ball cocktails over ice. The very next night, I watched the Fright Night remake in which the vampire hunter, Peter Vincent, only quaffed down large amounts of the crackled green bottled yum-juice. The next day at my local liquor store, a huge (and on sale) Midori display greeted me, haunted me, taunted me. Old, crusty bottle finished, new bottle on bar, I write this piece.
Made only in Japan till 1987 and named after their word for emerald green by Suntory Holdings Limited, the muskmelon-flavored cordial is now made in three countries celebrated for their rich cocktail and spirit reputations. Mexico, Japan and France all are home to ivy-covered, tucked away Midori manufacturing plants. Would you believe the famous NYC disco, Studio 54, held the original Midori Launch Party? How significant is that? John Travolta was there enjoying the new and mysterious Midori.
From the Midori launch in 1978 where it trickled out in small quantities, one-hundred thousand cases were sold in 1981. In a little over four years, everyone out on the town was slorpin' down the glowing liqueur in sours, cocktails and shots. Besides the sweet, melon flavored, non-threatening taste, what created the popularity? Well, nothing is the answer. The taste that mixes amazingly well with sours has been disco dancing happily in our mouths ever since first mirrored disco balls teamed with Gloria Gaynor for our attention. Mr. Booze has to wonder if Midori, not cocaine, was the bell-bottomed aphrodisiac of the me-generation. They, at the very least, boogied together.
Mr. Booze happily accepts Midori and her place now on his home bar shelf. I know from experience that many of my guests just do not appreciate, nor do they even want to try, a drink made with stronger, more complex and unforgiving spirits. How many times have you poured a martini, manhattan or other traditional cocktail only to have to pour it away at the end of the evening? Midori cocktails disappear on my bar. My wife and her friends love them. I'll have a bourbon while I mix up a batch of something Midori for the soft-drinker. No sweat, no foul …and my guests are happy.
Below are a few tried-n-true Midori cocktails.
Aqua Thunder
Let's begin with guns a'blastin' as we pull off the gloves and dive head-first into Midori World. This ode to the early eighties takes no prisoners as she smooth-sails straight down the drinker's throat. "Mmmmm" will probably be the first thing you'll hear from the stay-at-home mom on the other side of the bar. "Danger, Will Robinson" is what she should be saying. Three of these and a friendly gathering of neighbors 'round the home bar could turn into a key-party pretty darned fast. Hang-over guaranteed if more than two are consumed. Delicious? Yes-indeedee. Potent, fun and odd? Yes-indeedee.
Here we go –
- 1 oz Midori
- 1/2 oz Blue Curacao
- 1/2 oz Banana Liqueur
- 1/2 oz lemon juice
Mix everything over ice in a shaker. Pour it all, ice included, in a hi-ball glass and top with club soda.
Green Eyed Tiger
Discovered directly on the official Midori site which is a very nice one, by the way, this is the "must try" of the Midori cocktails I'm writing about. Pretty dangerous and sophisticated, this would be the drink to pour the night you stay in and cook something Asian or order in really good Chinese, Thai, or sushi. I love fresh ginger, and any drink that calls for it, I usually have to try a.s.a.p. You should be using all fresh juices, and you'll find, after your first sip, that there's nothing whimsical or silly about this one. Midori bumps a level.
Here we go –
- 1 tablespoon+ a little more if you like spicy, freshly chopped ginger
- 1 1/3 oz Silver Tequila
- 1 oz Midori
- 2/3 oz fresh orange juice
- 1/3 oz + to taste, fresh lime juice
Muddle the ginger with the juices in the bottom of a wide shaker. Add cracked ice then the rest of the ingredients. Strain up into a chilled cocktail glass (double strain if you can manage). Garnish with a thin, fresh slice of ginger.
Midori Cider House
A very tasty entry into the Winter Warmer category, I found this drink a little sweet for my tastes, but my wife and a friend enjoyed it very much. It's twenty-eight degrees outside as I write this, so I have to include it. If you like cider and rum, you should give this one a try.
Here we go –
- 4 oz hot cider
- 1 1/3 oz Midori
- 1 oz dark rum (Myers for me)
- couple dashes Angustora bitters
Pour the cool ingredients into a glass or mug capable of handling hot liquids. Add hot cider then garnish the rim of the cup with a cinnamon dusted, thin slice of apple.
I'd be very remiss in my duties if I didn't include this baby. This is the one folks! This cocktail was the queen of the disco back in 1978-79. She cooled sweaty people in sequined dresses and white leisure suits hot from a night on the floor. It was because a know-it-all at my last party knew how to whip a few up that I went on to explore the green, crackle-bottle even further. The Melonball could easily be your first stop on a Midori journey. Hell, play some Journey on your Midori journey. It works. Dance with me, I want to be your partner…
Here we go –
- Over a goblet or double old-fashioned glass filled with ice pour
- 2 oz Midori
- 1 oz Vodka
Stir, and add either orange juice, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice … or a magical mixture of all three.
Sip as you dance the night away.
Midori Illusion
This will make a little mess on your bar. There are four sticky ingredients in this one, but that being said, she's worth it. This last entry in today's celebration of the glow-green Mellon cordial is the cocktail to make for the person who drinks but doesn't like the taste of alcohol. Yummy! With only the "illusion" that you're not drinking booze, this is the drink to offer the guest you want to get secrets out of. Two of these will cause, most definitely, the gossip train to leave the station. Lips will loosen, and gab will spill. Tasty and a little bit naughty at the same time.
Here we go –
- 1 1/2 oz Midori
- 1/2 oz Triple Sec
- 1/2 oz Vodka
- 2/3 oz lemon juice
- 1 1/2 oz pineapple juice
Mix with ice then pour over ice in a short glass or strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange peel.
Midori…the bright green spirit which came out in the thick of the seventies. Classic, stood the test of time, a must-have on every home bar? The verdict is still out, but the jury is kinda enjoying themselves. Home bars are made for experimenting with things like…Midori.

Joe Torre rarely needs to explain himself. He'll likely be in the Hall of Fame someday, his candidacy only enhanced by his move to Los Angeles and his grace amid the distractions of managing the Dodgers.
But if there's one bone observers tend to pick with Torre, it's his use (or occasional overuse) of key relievers. Sunday, after summoning his All-Star closer in the eighth inning only to see him fail in the ninth, Torre admitted he was in the wrong.
Jonathan Broxton was peppered by the St. Louis Cardinals, giving up an RBI single in the eighth and two run-scoring hits in the ninth as the Cards completed a four-game sweep of Los Angeles.
While Broxton has gone one-plus innings before, Sunday's conditions were rather miserable. It was 89 degrees with 64% humidity in St. Louis, and both managers sat several regulars, including Albert Pujols. (Said Cards manager Tony La Russa: ""The one thing I always worry about doing that on a weekend is because I know there are people who are here from different states and they've planned their trip and they want to see Albert play. But I also think they don't want to see Albert suffer.")
So after Broxton's 44-pitch blown save, Torre was willing to fall on the sword.
"We asked too much out of Brox today," he said. ""It's much tougher under these conditions. This takes a lot out of you. We had to go to him too early today."
Torre's bullpen was short-handed for various reasons, and the Cardinals were the beneficiaries. They eased a half-game ahead of the Reds in the NL Central, but La Russa was more pleased they climbed to 10 games better than .500. What's more, they may feel they're playing with house money after overcoming a 4-0 deficit with a Sunday lineup featuring John Jay, Randy Winn and Allen Craig.

" Brand: Samsung "
I bought this after moving out of university accommodation, and at the time a microwave was my only access to hot food. So I was relieved when this turned out to be really good! The first feature that stands out is how evenly this heats food - there are no noticeably hot or cold spots, and you can normally skip the half-way stirring. The controls are intuitive, and it can be started - and adjusted while cooking - with one button.
The built in grill is functional, but much less practical to use. Apart from anything else, it's tiny! This definitely isn't a replacement for a real grill. The heating elements are behind a metal grill, that makes them difficult to get to to clean. This can happen just from the splatter of microwaved food - even if you don't use the grill feature! So be preprepared to clean this regularly.
It's solidly build - I've had mine for several years, and the door hinges are latches are still just as tight as when I got it. The guide rail for the rotating plate snapped at one point, but Samsung sent me a free replacement immediately.
This is a 900 w microwave oven with 6 power levels. It has a 1250 w ceramic grill and 2050 w oven combined which all sounds very great but quite difficult to use. The touch settings and dials actually look very stylish and I am pleased with the look of the microwave but the day to day practicalities are quite annoying. Although the microwave oven has the capabilities to roast and grill I tend to just use it as a microwave continuously pressing the quick start button which increases the time by 30 seconds with each push.
The oven itself is very large with the back looking more like an old terrestial tv than a microwave but inside the actual microwave is not very big. The microwave is very sturdy and heavy.
The interior has a ceramic enamel so it is very easy to clean up splashes and spills.
I would say it is a good microwave but definately for those who like reading instructions.
I bought this microwave, after having had some cheap and nasty ones in the past. I must say I was very impressed with the quality and look of it. It has a lot of different features which I wasnt used to, although I must confess the quick start is the simpliest and quickest way of cooking something. Sometimes, if you are putting a set programme on, it can be a bit long winded, setting it up.
The only downside to this is that the handle has broken at the bottom, so I can no longer use the handle, and instead have to pull the top of the door to open it, which doesnt really bother me. Another downside perhaps would be the size inside. I find that its not very deep compared to others I have had previously. All in all, I would say this is a quality microwave, but perhaps designed for indivuals, and not suitable for family microwaving.
Short name: Samsung CE107B-B

We just pick up our 13 X3 35i and I must agree with some of the points here in this thread, the X3 does tend to drift at high wind condition when driven over 75 MPH or so. Compare to our last 2 SUV, the Q5 and the Lexus RX450h, the X3 is a bit more unpredictable at high wind. Since it is a BMW, I expected it to be very stable at high speed, I must say I am a bit disappointed. I don't think its the electric steering since our Lexus had electric steering as well and did not behave like the X3 at high wind. The Lexus' suspension was also softer than the X3, so I don't think that is the problem either. I am thinking it must be the aerodynamics of the X3 that is causing the problem.

Towa Tei (テイ・トウワ(鄭 東和) Tei Tōwa, born Dong-hwa Chung, 1965) is a DJ, artist and record producer born in Yokohama, Japan. Towa debuted as a member of Deee-Lite, from the U.S. label Elektra Records in 1990, and shot to fame via their international hit single, "Groove Is In the Heart". He made his solo debut with the album Future Listening! in 1994. He has since relocated back from New York to rural Nagano prefecture in Japan.[1]
His concept party, "Hotel H", started in 2009 as a social spot for music industry people in Tokyo.[2]
Towa began making demo tapes at the age of 16 having bought his first synthesizer, a Korg MS-10. While studying at Musashino Art University Junior College of Art and Design he sent his tape to a radio program of Ryuichi Sakamoto titled "Sound Street".
In 1987, Towa moved to the US to study graphic design and joined house act Deee-Lite, a trio with Supa DJ Dimitry and Lady Miss Kier, enjoying almost instant success after debuting in 1990 with their album World Clique and the single "Groove Is In the Heart".
In 1991, Towa collaborated with his idol Ryuichi Sakamoto on Sakamoto's album Heartbeat. He also appeared on Sakamoto's follow up album Sweet Revenge.
In 1994, Towa returned to Japan after seven years in New York.[1] He hinted in a 2011 interview that his time with Deee-Lite made him ill, though he didn't expand on the reasons why.[3] Towa debuted as a solo act with Future Listening! that same year, incorporating an array of musical styles, including electronic, bossa nova, house, jazz and pop. It featured collaborations with Joi Cardwell, Bebel Gilberto, MC Kinky, Hiroshi Takano, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, Toshihiko Mori, Satoshi Tomiie, Yuichi Oki of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and Pizzicato Five vocalist Maki Nomiya.
Sound Museum followed in 1997, then Last Century Modern in 1999. 2002 brought the album Towa Tei, under the pseudonym Sweet Robots Against the Machine. Flash surfaced in 2005[1] by which time Towa was DJing regularly in Japan. He has admitted though, that he doesn't enjoy performing and prefers producing and using computers.[1]
Big Fun, featuring Verbal and Mademoiselle Yulia was released in 2009 and was the third album to feature the artwork of San Franciscan painter and graffiti artist Barry McGee.[1] For the album, Towa utilized MySpace to collaborate with artists from around the world even if he didn't know them, such as with German act Taprikk Sweezee.[1] Another collaborator he worked with for Big Fun was Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto, though they also only met on MySpace.[1]
Towa has also established his own creative company, hug inc, which among other things, manufactures his trademark sunglasses.[1]

The city is looking to raze the dilapidated building on East Broadway that once housed Panda Buffet.
The city staff will ask for council approval during Tuesday's meeting to demolish the building at 2419 E.Broadway.
The building has become a beacon for crime and vandalism since the Panda Buffet shut its doors in September 2012.
Thieves have stripped the building of its copper wire and destroyed its electrical and mechanical systems, a city memo says.
Repairs for the electrical system alone are estimated at $50,000. It would cost about $70,000 to tear the building down.
Neighbors fear the demolition could signal that other homes and businesses are next in line for demolition to better accommodate the controversial plan to widen Broadway.
Residents and government officials have clashed over the proposed project for years. The plan was to expand Broadway beginning in 2016, extending east from downtown to improve future traffic congestion.
But what infuriated some residents was that the plan would destroy dozens of homes and businesses along the corridor.
The city put together a citizens task force in 2012 involving neighbors, traffic consultants and city officials to help find a compromise. The group is scheduled to continue working on the Broadway plan until about the end of this year.
Although the mayor and council halted future property acquisition or demolition along the Broadway corridor until the task force reaches a conclusion, the city staff said the building has become a hotbed of criminal activity and needs to come down. The staff also said its demolition is not a precursor to an expanded demolition effort.
Councilman Steve Kozachik, who represents that stretch of Broadway and has fought for an alternative to the original expansion plan for years, said meetings are already underway with neighbors on what to do with that property once it's torn down. They also are getting assurances from the city that it won't tear down any more buildings until the task force completes its work.
The city purchased the building in 2010 for $858,500 as part of the Broadway expansion project and leased it to the restaurant.
Since 1989, the city has made 18 purchases totaling $7.6 million along Broadway for the expansion project. Most of the money, about 70 percent, came from sources other than the city's coffers, such as the Pima Association of Governments and the Regional Transportation Authority.

SIR Paul McCartney's fan forums were buzzing with the news of his new album title yesterday.
The collection of romantic standards, which is to be released next month, will be called Kisses On The Bottom.
Sounds more like a John Barrowman release to me.
Oddly enough, one of the tracks appearing on The Bottom was written about Macca's new missus Nancy Shevell.
Hopefully not the title track. She might have the ar*e if that happened.

I cant believe that chick just gave up. whatever. she didn't want it bad enough I guess. The men are really starting to get on my last nerve. That Matt guy drives me crazy. He always looks like he is fixin to cry. I don't care for any of them. Their isn't a single person I'm rooting for.
If I ever go to London I'm trying that 200.00 pizza :laughing: I bet it taste nasty :laughing:
I'm sorry...I'll keep my $5.99 Godfather's Pizza with pepperoni and sausage thank you!! I balk at having to pay Pizza Huts prices :laughing:
omg! matt has so got to go. Those faces he makes. ugh!..
I agree...Matt has to go! You see those faces he makes? Like he tasted something rotten... :laughing: Well, since he can't seem to play with the boys, he now gets to swing with the ladies. I'm sure that won't turn out well. As for the ladies...I wished that Ms. New York Mouth would get booted...I cannot stand her accent. Forgive me folks...but that accent makes people sound ignorant. I had to say that. I feel better now. :crazytongue:
oh well. matt is around for another week. He was even more irritating tonight. Smug does not suit him. And why is the new york chick still there? She cant even cook a steak. :scratch: I find the accent annoying also . I know she cant help it anymore than I can help saying yall but it drives me crazy.
What is a matter with "ya'll"??? Jeff Foxworthy wrote most of his material about the people in my county ~ we use all that country slang here...and only people from these parts understand us most of the time :laughing:
That preview of next week killed me ~ ouch!!!
Tonight was pretty good. I cant believe he cut the tip of his finger off and then they just cooked it right up. yuck!! Im so glad that girl is gone. She was a mess. Never did anything right. Matt will go next week I hope. Still I cant see any of them being a great chef. can you? Does anyone really stand out.
I don't think any of them could be as big as their egos!
Ohhhhhhhh that fingertip thing is a killer...yuck!! I don't think it will be Matt next week...could be wrong though ~ I have been a few times before!
Tonight's episode was great! I'm so SO very glad to see "NY Mouth" get the boot. Amen, and pass the gravy. :laughing: I wonder where that finger tip disappeared to. Can you imagine being a customer who managed to end up with that finger tip in his/her salad or entree? OMG...yuck! "Hey, this piece of meat is really tough and fleshy". :laughing: Hell's Kitchen could serve up a special: Fingertips and brown rice. And Matt's facial looks...he always looks as if he is constipated or something. He really needs to practice in a mirror...learning to smile.
I agree here that I have yet to see any chef quality material amongst these "trainees".

EVENTS HELD: Round 3
CONDITIONS: 4-5 feet, with waves and conditions improving throughout the day.
NATURE'S CALL: Should be high performance nirvana manana.
PREDICTIONS: A winner named Taj, Kelly or Andy.
It had to happen. It does every year, right? Trestles in September always fires like a Santa Ana fanned conflagration, but this year? So far it hadn't. Round 1 and 2, contestable, okay, but pretty sloppy due to an unseasonable south wind. And yesterday? Downright grim with Snips begrudgingly having to call it off for the day. But today was different. Well this afternoon at 2:30 it started getting different in a hurry. That's when a new south really started filling in and a Catalina Eddy cheese breeze finally swung around to the northwest.
Taj Burrow paddled out. Loose. Relaxed. Happy. Why shouldn't he be? He's 2nd in the world – just ahead of Andy and in prime position to make a run at Kelly, he's got the hottest girlfriend on tour, and well, life is good. "I feel super confident about the next few events," he said. "And this wave really suits my surfing."
Does it ever. Taj's performance today was off the chart. Airs, full-rail carves, ridiculous speed runs. It was a joke. And the thing is, he's been doing this all year. He's finally channeling that all freakish talent into smart heat surfing. Taj was seemingly everywhere in the heat – on edge, fitting in more turns, surfing faster and more creatively than anyone. His peers were awestruck. Bede Durbidge ran out of superlatives while congratulating him.
So Taj was good, really good. And who else? Kelly had an easy one against Ace Buchan while Andy had a slow start but then turned it on midway though to defeat Toby Martin. Parko and Fanning were dominant as well despite surfing in low-tide morning sickness conditions. Timmy Reyes, fresh from a day-long massage to relieve pain from a hip flexor injury, posted a solid win against Troy Brooks. "A couple of days ago I couldn't even walk,' he said. "I was almost going to withdraw from the contest, but luckily yesterday we had a break. It's a really gnarly pain –like the worst cramp you've ever in your stomach, but it goes all the way down your leg."
Other potential dark horses? Try Occy, Chris Ward and Travis Logie. Occy was up to his old tricks against Fred Patacchia today, slamming the rights as hard as they can possibly be slammed. Wardo was looking good again – fighting off a late charge from Taylor Knox. Then there's Logie whose ultra-accurate backside attack will be a nice foil for Wardo's more casual frontside approach in a Round 4 clash. "I hope Wardo falls on all his airs," said Logie with a smile.
Tomorrow, with the waves and weather expected to be even better, Taj and Andy are going to be intently watching Kelly's heats, hoping the same thing.

Sphinx is a very well made weapon. I have always wanted one of those Swiss pistols for pistol gaming. I always wanted a 9mm but settled on a Witness because of availablity and just plain easy to get. Price may have been an issue but I could not find any locally to even look at. I have read about them and a friend from tennessee as one I shot.
I did a quick search to determine the value of a NIB .380
I found this
looks about right good luck. If you get it post a pic and a review please.

Whenever there is a discussion on the treatment of ADHD, especially for children, the term "behavior modification" will normally come up. But less often do people explain exactly what they mean or how to go about creating an effective behavior modification program. This is a generic term for a system that rewards appropriate and acceptable behaviors in order to encourage more of the same. The focus of a behavior modification program is that positive reinforcement is more effective than punitive measures.
Setting up a behavior modification program takes hard work, dedication, commitment and cooperation between parents, teachers and caregivers. The following seven steps will help you to create your own system, catered to the individual needs of your children.
1) Change Your Attitude
Before setting any plan into action, take some time to review how you typically react to your child. You are going to take 1-2 weeks changing your view of your child and the situation at home. This time will be well spent and the rewards of taking this time will pay off tremendously. Raising a child with ADHD is exhausting, frustrating and demanding. If many of your interactions with your child include yelling and leave you feeling exasperated, you are not alone. Spend time listening to how you are talking with your child and try to change your perspective and focus. Understand that children with ADHD require more monitoring and more patience than raising a non-ADHD child. Accept that you will need to provide assistance.
An example of this would be if you sent your child to clean their room. Fifteen minutes later you check and it looks as if nothing has been completed. Your first reaction may be to say something like: "You haven't done anything, didn't I tell you to clean up, don't leave this room until it is done." But changing your perspective, you could say instead, "I see you have picked up the blocks, that is great, now I would like you to pick up the clothes and put them away. I will be back in 5 minutes to see how you are doing." Return 5 minutes later. If the clothes are picked up, compliment them and provide another instruction. If only one piece of clothing has been picked up, say something like, "I see you have started picking up the clothes, good work, now let's finish, I will be back in 5 minutes." It may take your child hours to complete a job that could have been done in 10 minutes. However, when they are done, they will have a sense of completion and accomplishment.

I'm sure XS Sights will make a Big Dot front sight if they haven't already.
This is a discussion on LC9 Night Sights within the LC9 Accessories forums, part of the LC9 category; Does anyone offer night sights for the LC9 .. I have looked around online without any luck. Thanks...
Does anyone offer night sights for the LC9 .. I have looked around online without any luck.
I emailed Ruger with the question and here is the reply:
Weve made the LC9 available to most of the sight maker in the market today. They are developing their own versions of sights. At this point we dont have a night sight solution I can offer you.
Please keep checking www.shopruger.com for the latest accessories for you new LC9
Have a great day!

Good question! I'll keep checking the Ruger site also for an udate on this. The one thing that I really miss on my Berreta 3032 alley cat was that great inox tritium front site for nite vision.
Some XS sights might be good in this lil thing.
After much soul-searching, I'm still not sure that night-sights are really all that important. I can only draw upon extremely limited high-stress close combat situations of the past, but I'm guessing drawing a decent sight picture under duress results in an overall blurring of sight, sound, and time.
Recalling that the majority of CCW encounters occur at close ranges and sudden, possible very short, time frames, are night sights really all that valuable? Would laser in fact be better (point and shoot vs. aim and shoot, or do they too fall by the wayside once stress really takes over?).
Can anyone with more experience in the arena chime in, please?
Night sights would be a waste of money if you plan to install the Crimson Trace laser later when it becomes available.
I've been thinking this over since it came up, and I agree. Laser would be a much better alternative than Inox etc etc. Thinking it over...
I'd spend my money on night sights instead of the laser. If you must have a laser, then fine, but what happens when that sucker fails at the worst possible moment? It is an electrical device connected via a chemical battery that is activated by a mechanical switch, sitting under the frame of a device that shock loads it everytime it is used. Night sights have no moving parts to fail, no electrical connections to break, and no the only equivilant to a chemical battery is the isotope used to make it glow. My money is on the night sights. You can point shoot at closer personal distances without a laser just fine, and if you can't, you really need to get out and practice. I like the look of sights I can see when the lights go out. Sights will always be there. Lasers may not.
I second what Deadbolt says..But I only want the XS big dot front sight. No need for the rear sight to be lit as long as I can see where the front is pointing. My LCR is set up that way and I love it. Can see it in the dark and low light conditions for a quick point and shoot. I like the idea of a laser, but as stated, it can and will probably quit when it is most needed and if used at night, it is like a sign pointing at me saying "here I am!!" Shoot here!!
JMHO of course.

I thought that I would take the data from the Silver (2006) that I've previously discussed and share it in a different way that would be helpful to women with multiple prior cesareans. (You might find it worthwhile to read this article specifically, where you can view the data below in graphs, as well as other articles on placental abnormalities first.) Remember that accreta is when the placenta abnormality deeply attaches into the uterus requiring surgical removal. There is a 7% maternal mortality rate with accreta as well as a high rate of hemorrhage and hysterectomy. One of the factors that determines your risk of accreta or previa is your number of prior cesareans.
Whether a mom has a repeat cesarean or a VBA1C, her risk of accreta (including increta and percreta) and previa in that pregnancy are:
risk of accreta: 0.31% (1 in 323)
risk of previa: 1.3% (1 in 77)
risk of accreta if previa is present: 11% (1 in 9)
Whether a mom plans a third cesarean or a VBA2C, her risk of accreta and previa in that pregnancy are:<
risk of accreta: 0.57% (1 in 175)
risk of previa: 1.14% (1 in 88)
risk of accreta if previa is present: 40% (1 in 2.5)
If a mom plans a fourth cesarean or a VBA3C, the risk during that pregnancy increases to:
risk of accreta: 2.13% (1 in 47)
risk of previa: 2.27% (1 in 44)
risk of accreta if previa is present: 61% (1 in 1.6)
The jump in risk from two prior cesareans to three prior cesareans is pretty huge…
If mom plans a fifth cesarean or a VBA4C, the risk during that pregnancy increases to:
risk of accreta: 2.33% (1 in 43)
risk of previa: 2.3% (1 in 43)
risk of accreta if previa is present: 67% (1 in 1.5)
If mom plans a sixth cesarean or a VBA5c, the risk during that pregnancy increases to:
risk of accreta: 6.74% (1 in 15)
risk of previa: 3.4% (1 in 29)
risk of accreta if previa is present: 67% (1 in 1.5)
Here are some stats to consider:
Silver (2006) found the following rates of accreta (including increta and percreta), during the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth cesareans: 0.24%, 0.31%, 0.57%, 2.13%, 2.33%, 6.74%. (View a graph of this data.)
In other words, your risk of placenta accreta increases from first to sixth cesarean delivery:
1 in 417,
1 in 323,
1 in 175,
1 in 47,
1 in 43,
1 in 15.
Read more about accreta.
The studies that have been conducted (that I'm aware of) on uterine rupture in VBAMC are kind of small (including hundreds, not thousands of women). So I don't think we have an accurate idea of VBA3C rupture risk. This site is a great resource.
Update: When I posted a link to this article on Facebook, a mom left this comment:
Thank you for posting. My friend had 2 previous c-sections, and with her 3rd pregnancy had the bad luck of having both placenta accreta and placenta previa (both risks of repeat c-section). Her pregnancy was awful..lots of bleeding, hospitalizations, steriods and other drugs to help hold onto the pregnancy and bedrest at 20 weeks. They couldn't do cerclage because of the placenta previa). In the end she had a healthy baby, but a 5 hour c-section surgery where she lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion of 6 units of blood. She had to have a hysterectomy and also they removed part of her bladder because her placenta had embedded so far it was attached to her bladder! She was pissed that her doctor never warned her of the risks of repeat c-sections. She is 39 years old.
yes, you can share my comment. again, my friend ultimately is ok bec she was planning on having her tubes tied after this 3rd unplanned pregnancy — but she was upset initially bec her OB never shared with her any of these risks of repeat c-section…and she said "had I known, I would have really pushed for a vbac with #2"

No. Cervical dysplasia isn't cancer. The term indicates that abnormal cells were found on the surface of the cervix.
Cervical dysplasia can range from mild to severe, depending on the appearance of the abnormal cells. Dysplasia could go away on its own or, rarely, it could develop into cancer. Another term for cervical dysplasia is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
After an abnormality is detected on a Pap smear, your doctor may recommend more tests, including:
Colposcopy is an examination of your cervix, vagina and vulva using a magnifying instrument. During a colposcopy, your doctor may determine where the abnormal cells are growing and the degree of abnormality. A sample of cells (biopsy) may be taken for testing.
Often, with mild dysplasia, no treatment is needed. In most cases, mild dysplasia resolves on its own and doesn't become cancerous. Your doctor may recommend follow-up in a year to check for additional changes.
If you have severe dysplasia, your doctor may recommend treatment, such as surgery or other procedures to remove the abnormal cells.
Whether you have mild or severe dysplasia, it's likely your doctor will recommend Pap and HPV testing in a year to monitor your condition and check for recurrences of dysplasia. If you have a negative Pap smear and HPV test at that appointment, your doctor may recommend resuming Pap smears and HPV testing every three years.

Motorhead Release Statement on Lemmy's Health
As you may have read, Motorhead were forced to cancel some recent tour dates after their frontman Lemmy suffered a hematoma. Now, the band has released a statement about the rock singer's health in the wake of rumors that the band may be splitting up.
The statement reads, "We are happy to announce that despite rumors to the contrary, Lemmy is alive, breathing, talking, fucking, drinking, eating, reading and will be back to playing shows shortly. As reported, he did undergo a Motor-pit-stop for some medical maintenance this past spring, and the timing of his recent illness was unfortunate in that it came so soon after that.
"Lemmy & Co believe in the 'keep calm and carry on' way of thinking. Fans can anticipate more Motorhead live action this summer, as well as the most exciting Motorecord in years, Aftershock, this Fall."

text: Posted February 1, 2014 What does your gut tell you? Does Cam get extended by Gettleman and co. sometime this off-season? I think this may be Gettleman's number two priority (after extending Rivera) this off-season and since he has already done that, I think an extension for Ace Boogie may be in the works. In his interviews he has said that Cam is the guy and is our franchise QB and that he has unlimited potential at the quarterback position. That has to bode well for his future in Charlotte.

George Stephens developed a plan for a streetcar suburb on his father-in-law's (John Spring Myers) farm in 1905. The neighborhood was designed by the Harvard-trained landscape architect, John Nolen, and work was underway by 1911.
Myers Park is distinguished for its winding tree-lined streets, large historic homes and architectural variety. Due to its landscaped beauty, it is one of the most-visited parts of Charlotte.
For those short on time, a simple drive through the neighborhood is worthwhile in order to view the large, historic mansions along the main streets.

Colville National Forest Travel Management Meetings
The three meetings on March 28 (this Saturday), April 25, and May 9 are working meetings to help the Forest Service develop a proposed action for the NEPA process (they have not yet decided whether it will be an EA or full EIS). These will be all day Saturday meetings, starting at 9:00AM and going until 3:00PM or later.
From the introductory meeting on March 19, it looks like the remaining meetings will each be three separate meetings (one for Chewelah Creek, one for Calispell Creek, and one for Tacoma Creek) going on at the same time and place.
March 28 - Where we are, background information, general issues, review of project proposals made at the last round of Travel Management meetings.
April 25 - The real work of discussing the old project proposals, making new proposals, issues with the proposals and how to resolve the issues.
May 9 - Field trip to view and discuss some of the proposals and issues.
I plan to be at all of the meetings, but can cover only one of the areas, since the others will be discussed separately at the same time.
A couple of other people will be at the March 28 and May 9 meetings, but are unable to make it to the April 25 meeting. (The North Idaho Trailblazers' Cabin Fever Run is that day. Many people are working at or participants in that event.)
If anyone can make it to these meetings (preferably all of them, but especially the April 25 meeting), please let me know.
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 07:34 AM.

Record Red Bulls Continue Run
by Soccer America
To everyone's surprise, the New York Red Bulls, $14 million in the hole last season (according to various reports), synonymous for years with underachieving, are looking like the best team in Major League Soccer in 2007. For that, a huge shout out has to go to Coach Bruce Arena, and ...

Expectations Rise Ahead of Toronto Opener
by Soccer America
Toronto FC hosts its first home game at the new BMO Field tomorrow, and with a great deal of fanfare, despite the team's 0-3-0 record. Fittingly, or perhaps worryingly, the home side will get the opportunity to exact its revenge on Kansas City, which beat the Canadians, 3-0, at Arrowhead ...

Rolling Stones Celebrates Their 50th Anniversary With 50 New Logos [Pics]
The iconic 'tongue' image is given a makeover by fifty designers.
The band's 'tongue' logo was first created by John Pasche and the iconic image has become the band's trademark for the past 41 years. The image was the cover design for the Sticky Fingers albums in 1970 to "represent the brand's anti-authoritarian attitude, Mick Jagger's mouth, and the obvious sexual connotations."
2012 as the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary. To celebrate, the creatives from Publicis Madrid and Wieden Amsterdam, asked 50 designers from all over the world to create a new logo for the English rock band.
Last year, to mark the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary, Mick Jagger reached out to American street art designer Shepard Fairey to update the logo. Fairey was very "humbled and and honored" to have worked on the 50th logo.
Some of the artists who participated in the non-profit project included Heidi Chisholm, Shotopop, Erwin Bindeman, and Andre Brocatus. The website explains that:
This is a project for the best designers in the world to make 50 new logos for the Rolling Stones. No brands behind. Non profit. Just a birthday present from the world of design to the Rolling Stones. Let's make the world Rock!
View some of the logo designs below, and visit the website to see all 50 logos.

Through five innings, Cline faced just two batters over the minimum, but in the sxith the Eagles, as many WVU opponents have done this season, took advantage of a simple mistake. BC's Marco Albano led off the visitors' sixth inning by reaching base on an error, advanced on a sacrifice hit, the scored on Drew Locke's RBI single for the only run of the game.
The Eagles' Chris Lambert was just as dominating on the mound for his team as Cline was for WVU. Lambert likewise allowed just two hits, and although he did yield four walks, managed to keep the Mountaineers off the scoreboard. Lambert struck out nine batters, and finished by fanning the side in the WVU seventh.
West Virginia's most serious scoring threat came in the bottom of the sixth, when they loaded the bases with one out on two walks and an error. However, Lambert induced a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat and preserve the Eagles' win.
WVU falls to 8-13 in the Big East and 18-24 overall.

Set in Scan
Dear MathGroup members
I have to do replacements in very long lists. An efficient way to do
this is to use
This, however, doesn't work if I want to do replacements for a set of
lists. If I try to replace the third element in the lists v1, v2 and v3 by
Scan[#[[3]] = newElement &, {v1,v2,v3}]
I get the error message
Set::setps: #1 in assignment of part is not a symbol.
Any suggestions?

May in the West
May is typically a month in which temperatures increase and precipitation totals have begun to wane in the coastal and southern West as the Pacific storm track edges northward and the Southwest Monsoon system has yet to develop. May 2012 showed few exceptions to this trend. Many Southwest locations received no precipitation at all, and only a smattering of stations in the Northwest and along the Mexico border recorded average to above-average precipitation. The northern tier of the region experienced cooler than normal average temperatures this month, while in the Southwest, average temperatures were generally above the May mean. Severe fire weather dominated the Southwest, leading to the rapid development of several large wild land fires and New Mexico experiencing its largest fire on record.
Many locations the Southwest were dry this month, not uncommon in Mays past. For the 31st time in the last 75 years, Las Vegas, Nevada received no measureable precipitation (less than 0.01 in / 0.25 mm) in May. Further west, Santa Barbara, California has 25 years in its 71-year record with no measurable May precipitation. Other zero-precipitation locations this month include Yuma and Flagstaff, Arizona and Palm Springs, California. To the north, central Washington and Oregon have seen drought development over the last few months. This month, Spokane, Washington received only 0.69 in (17.5 mm) rainfall, the 28th driest May in the station's 112-year record. Western Washington and Oregon fared better, with Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon notching several daily precipitation records toward month's end. Rainfall at Portland totaled 3.37 in (85.6 mm), tied for 14th wettest May since records began in 1938. Glasgow, Montana also saw above average precipitation, receiving 3.06 in (77.7 mm) and 11th wettest May in a 57-year record. Mid-month thunderstorm activity along the US-Mexico border helped to alleviate exceptional drought conditions in some specific locations. Las Cruces, New Mexico received 0.58 in (14.7 mm) of rain, tying for the 22nd wettest May in the past 120 years at that location.
Temperatures in the Northwest and along the coast this month were 2-4 F (1-2 C) below normal, similar to but less cool than May 2010 and 2011. Average May temperatures do not show recent warming or cooling in the Northwest, though the past two years were anomalously cool. The Southwest saw temperatures 2-6 F (1-3 C) above normal, breaking the cool May pattern of 2010 and 2011, and back to the general trend of increasing May temperatures in the Southwest over the past 30 years.
A significant consequence of the continued warm and dry March, April, and May has been a drastic lowering of the expected summer snowmelt in the Intermountain West. Forecasts of Colorado River inflow to Lake Powell have dropped very far, and now rank among the 3rd or 4th lowest in the past century.
Significant Events for May 2012
May (all month): Fires throughout Southwest: Critical fire conditions (low relative humidity, high wind, drought conditions) were in place for most of May in the southwest, allowing wildfires to develop and spread rapidly.
New Mexico: The Whitewater-Baldy Complex Fire, ignited by lightning on May 16, has become New Mexico's largest fire on record. As of June 1, 216,650 acres (87,865 hectares) had burned and the fire was only 10% contained. Arizona: The Gladiator Fire, approximately 20 mi (32 km) north of Phoenix, Arizona began May 16 and had burned 16,240 acres (6,572 hectares) and was 45% contained as of June 1. The fire was a human-caused structure fire and forced mandatory evacuation of the town of Crown King, Arizona. The Sunflower Fire, 30 mi (48 km) north of Mesa, Arizona began May 12 and had consumed 17,618 acres (7,129 hectares) and stood at 80% contained on June 1.
Nevada: The Topaz Ranch Estates Fire, 60 mi (97 km) south of Reno, Nevada, began May 22 and burned 7,152 acres (2,894 hectares). The human-caused fire destroyed two residences and 17 structures.
Colorado: The Hewlett Fire in the Roosevelt National Forest began May 14 and burned 7685 acres (3,110 hectares) before containment. The Sunrise Mine Fire began May 25 4 mi (6 km) north of Paradox, Colorado. By June 1 it had consumed 6,192 acres (2,505 hectares) and was 85% contained. Both fires were human-caused.
May 26: Four Corners Dust Storm: Southwest winds in excess of 50 mph (80 kph) associated with a deep trough drove a dust storm into the Four Corners region. The dust, combined with smoke from fires in New Mexico, reduced visibility to less than a mile (1.6 km).

All dining chairs are made using the highest grade of Maple, Cherry, and other quality hardwoods. Each individual piece of wood will absorb stain differently due to differences in the wood grain and color in each wood panel. Due to these grain variations, your chair may not exactly match the finish sample. This is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Quality Construction
All Saloom chairs are made with attention to detail using the finest construction techniques - box frame construction with corner block reinforcements and mortise and tenon joints.
Super Finish
Most manufacturers who apply a catalyzed conversion varnish to their furniture apply it to the table top surface only due to the expense of this deluxe finish. Saloom Furniture is an exception - all dining chairs are coated with our "Super Finish" which protects the chair from moisture and most household chemicals such as lemon juice, turpentine, even nail polish remover.
Soflex Seats
Most of our upholstered seat dining chairs have a unique seat construction feature called the Soflex seat. Most chair seats you find today are made with plywood and a single layer of foam. Our Soflex seat starts with a strong layer of suspension webbing, followed by three layers of foam. This combination of webbing and foam creates a seat that will not "bottom out," and will stay soft and comfortable for years to come.
Fabric Choices
At Saloom we offer a variety of fabric choices:
- STANDARD FABRICS: We offer a wide range of textures, patterns, and styles in our fabric collection, in both Grade A and Grade B pricing.
- LEATHER: Our premium leather is top grain protected leather - strong and durable, with a soft hand.
- CUSTOMER'S OWN MATERIAL/COM: We also offer the option of placing your own fabric choice on the chairs you order. This gives you the flexibility to choose from the tens of thousands of fabrics that are in the marketplace today. See the COM Ordering Information section for guidelines and restrictions. An up-charge may apply for certain fabrics. See your dealer for complete fabric information.
General Ordering Information
- Saloom fabrics are available for sale in cut yardage amounts (see your local Saloom dealer for pricing information).
- Fabrics are not covered under our warranty. Fabric problems due to freight damage must be claimed at the time of delivery.
Care and Cleaning Instructions
The wood on our chairs cleans up with a damp sponge. If cleaning up dirt or grime, you can add some mild dish soap. No waxes or polishes are needed. Each individual fabric has its own cleaning code designated by its manufacturer. The cleaning codes are listed on the back of our fabric sample swatches.
Chair & Stool COM Ordering Information
Customers can provide their own fabric for upholstered chairs. There is an up charge for using COM, please see your Saloom dealer for up-charge information.
- Please note that there will be a shipping charge applied for return of excess fabric.
- We cannot accept COM vinyl or laminated fabrics for the 900 stool, 37 seat, and any of our chairs with upholstered backs, including tilt-swivel chairs.
- While we generally do not have problems with COM fabrics supplied to us, we do reserve the right to reject COM fabrics due to quality or compatibility issues.
|The chart below should be used to calculate yardage needed based on a standard 54" wide fabric.
|Chair & Stool Style
|Yardage required per chair*:
|11, 13, 18, 21, 22, 23, 25, 39, 44, 48, 49, 56, 58,
90, 912, 918, 922, 925, 939, 956
|3/4 yard = 2 chairs
|27, 35, 36, 37, 900
|3/4 yard = 1 chair
|24, 38, 57, 89, 101, 103
|1 yard = 1 chair
|34, 51
|1 1/4 yards = 1 chair
|60, 61, 102, 104, 106
|2 yards = 1 chair
|30, 105
|2 1/2 yards = 1 chair
*COM fabrics with a large repeat or pattern require 1/2 yard more fabric per chair.

A novel by Liz DeJesus
Nina is the moving story of a work of art that comes to life and of how she affects the lives of those around her. After several miscarriages, Rachel Ramirez, a brilliant but tragic artist, secludes herself and begins a series of paintings based on her lost child, naming each painting 'Nina'. One of them (the title character) comes to life inside her canvas. She is able to see and hear the world around her. Even though Nina has innate wisdom, there are still many things that she doesn't understand. When Rachel commits suicide, Nina is thrown into the confusing world, and her painting is passed around to others. But as Nina progresses from Rachel's mother to a buyer named Anna, she keeps learning, and eventually is able to leave her canvas and enter the world. She meets Elijah (mostly in dreams or inside her canvas), who acts as her guide, and tells her of her fate. She has one year to decide whether to join the rest of the world, beginning life anew, or to remain a painting forever.

Breaking the Chains of Poverty
A career training program administered by the A. Philip Randolph Institute's Pittsburgh Chapter and facilitated in partnership with United Steelworkers. The goal is to promote living wage jobs and union membership for the minority community. In 2011, 82 people were trained, 75% completed the program, and 58% obtained employment.
Our mission is to provide social and economic progress for minorities, the poor and working people. In partnerships with the labor movement and other allies, we provide community-based training programs to individuals to educate, to improve their employment opportunities, and to secure good union jobs that make family-sustaining wages.
Demographic data from the 2010 Census indicates that more has to be done to support African Americans and low-income communities. Without education, workforce training, decent employment, and livable wages, many individuals do not have the opportunity to escape from poverty, own their own homes, or adequately support their families.
Our program equips those who are traditionally disenfranchised or discouraged from participation with a new sense of democracy, education and opportunities. Our goal is to create self-sufficient individuals and families.
The United Steelworkers partnered with the Pittsburgh APRI Education Fund and began the Breaking the Chains of Poverty (BTCP) program in 2009. This program has successfully served more than 170 individuals and has placed 62% of those individuals in jobs.
Our graduates acquire state-of-the-art training, tools, and theory used by the building and construction industry. They also have a competitive edge because our training specializes in environmentally sustainable practices. The skills obtained in the program are in high demand and are transferable to many industries. The core program consists of approved training modules that are industry driven and constantly enhanced by bringing new employers to the table. Our graduates enjoy career placement assistance and networking opportunities.
To be considered for the program you:
- Must be at least 18 years of age;
- High school diploma or GED;
- Must be drug free;
- A valid driver's license is preferred;
- Must be or become a registered voter;
- To qualify, you must take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) and demonstrate a 10th grade level of reading, writing and math; and
- You must successfully complete and pass the panel interview.
The program focuses on key topics in building, construction and energy-related industries such as:
- Environmental Literacy
- Water, Waste and Energy
- Building and Construction
- Health, Food and Agriculture
- Community Organization and Leadership
- Financial Literacy and Social Entrepreneurship
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration
- Green Chemistry and Carbon Footprint
- Tools, Instruments and Measures
- Building and Construction Math
- Hazardous Waste Operations and
- Emergency Response
A stipend will be provided for students who meet the program expectations to assist them with basic life needs. We are also in a partnership with multiple community-based organizations that offer assistance to individuals with specific barriers.
Graduates will receive the following four certifications that are recognized and preferred by our employer partners:

Nigerian academics seek to elevate humble Pidgin
By Yinka Ibukun
LAGOS (Reuters Life!) - It may share many of its words and basic grammar with English, but a perplexed look descends across the face of most newcomers to Nigeria the first time they are addressed in Pidgin.
"How you dey?" comes the question, or "How body?" (both meaning "how are you?")
"I dey fine" is the correct response, or, if you're in a less upbeat mood, "body dey inside cloth", meaning "I'm coping/making do with the situation," or literally "I'm still wearing clothes."
Once considered the language of the uneducated, Pidgin is one of the world's fastest evolving languages and Nigerians of every age and social class can now be found greeting each other in its clipped, concise tones.
Spoken by an estimated 50 million people, variants are also used in Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Now, for the first time, a group of academics is working to elevate the status of Nigerian Pidgin to more than just a practical means of communication in a country with several hundred indigenous languages and a huge educational divide.
Created a year ago, the Naija Languej Akademi is the first to try to harness the unbridled growth of Pidgin by putting together a reference guide which would include an alphabet, the first comprehensive dictionary, a standard guide for orthography, and an authoritative history of the language.
"It's not a contact language any more, it's an independent, fully fledged language," said Christine Ofulue, head of linguistics at the National Open University of Nigeria. Continued...

Discussion in 'TiVo Upgrade Center' started by rcobourn, Mar 25, 2008.
PM sent.
Got it .Thank you .
Now How do i put it on a new drive .
Thanks Joe
Use DvrBARS.
Got every thing up and running .
Thanks Joe
Does anyone have an image for a 758250? I spent the last 24 hours trying to copy my original (failing) drive to a different 2TB drive. When I boot that "new" drive up, I get the same issues (Welcome, starting up, almost there, reboot). Would like to see if a known working image would make the box boot up. Otherwise, what could be the issue with the TiVo?
I really need the same image for a TCD746320.
Started getting S03 error (over and over) so I tried the Kickstart 57. Now I am stuck in a reboot loop.
Any chance you can help me out, ggieseke?
Anytime, Jeff. PM sent.
Don't forget to run Clear & Delete Everything on the replacement drive to "marry" it to the motherboard. If it's bigger than 320GB you can also use jmfs to expand and supersize it.
Got it! Thanks a lot!
Just in case a future searcher comes across this, Kickstarts are not the way to deal with S03 errors.
Try "Clear Program Information and To Do List" instead, and leave the tuning adapter, if any, disconnected for a while.
Thanks for the tip, unitron.
Special thanks go to Greg Gieseke for helping me restore my TiVo drive! I am back up and running now.
Dang, you even spelled my name right.
Welcome to TCF.
Anyone have an image for a TCD748000? My hard drive died in my Premiere XL.
PM sent. You have to use DvrBARS to restore it.
Looking for the same. Tivo is frozen at logo at boot but it was the original drive so it did good.
Hi unitron- I have been scouring the web trying to find a TCD540080 image and I finally found your TCD540040- you have no idea how happy I was. Unfortunately the Dropbox link isn't working. Can you update the link please? Thanks in advance.
These are recently made with the latest update from "b" to "c".
I probably pulled the older ones (thus invalidating previous links) to conserve space because not enough people are signing up through me for a free account which gives both of us more space.

What "biological body" is there apart from the interdependence of the four elements and the mind?
If by "Tibetan system" you mean the tantric systems such as the Six Dharma-s of Nāropā, these represent a completely separate path and are beyond the scope of the present discussion.
From among the Sūtrayāna systems of Tibetan Buddhism, regarding dhyāna, one can choose to follow the interpretation of the Vaibhāṣika Sarvāstivāda (which is similar to the classical Theravāda abhidhammika interpretation), or the Sautrāntika interpretation given in the Abhidharmakośabhāsya (which is similar to what is given in the Pāḷi sutta-s), or the Yogācāra interpretation given in the Śrāvakabhūmi (also similar to what is given in the Pāḷi sutta-s).

Please see MN 119: Kāyagatāsati Sutta section on jhāna.

hi all!
i finally got a 1997 sts. after a few cross-country trips it's got ~160k miles on it. since i got it, it's been rather hard to start. the starter has to turn for ~30 seconds just to start. once started, it idles fine, doesn't really hesitate on throttle and has no other problems. it behaves this way in all weather and at all temps - even if i just shut the motor off five minutes before.
we put in new plugs a few months ago and although it feels peppier, it doesn't start any easier. the plugs that were in it were not too terribly fouled.
is this the fuel filter? what else should i look at?
thanks so much for any pointers! i've got a laundry list of other items i'll be digging into as i tackle them, so ask questions and i'll give lots of info :)

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Good afternoon Carlie, I'm Doug, and I'm sorry to hear of the confusion. My goal is to provide you with excellent service today. Social security child survivor benefits last only through age 18, or if you are still enrolled in a full time high school program and up until the later of graduation, or age 19 and 2 months. I do wish that I had better news for you, and I empathize with your situation, however there are no additional survivor benefits paid the child of a deceased parent while they are in college---unless they still happen to be under the age of 18 at the time they are in college. And then the survivor benefits would stop at age 18. I understand that you may be disappointed by the Answer you received, as it was not particularly favorable to your situation. Had I been able to provide an Answer which might have given you a successful legal outcome, it would have been my pleasure to do so. You may reply back to me using the Reply to Expert link if you have additional questions. Kindly take a moment to rate my service to you based on the understanding of the law I provided. Please understand that I have no control over the how the law impacts your particular situation. Thank you, Doug
