What tires? What size?
Yes, I run snows. Blizzak WS60 on the Soul, General Altimax studdable on the PT.
Once you've run them, you hate to be without them.

I've run four snow tires since 1989.
First on my '88 Caprice with limited-slip and then on my '99 Tahoe with limited-slip.
The model I use is Goodyear Eagle M+S. Those on the Caprice were H speed rated and those on the Tahoe are V speed rated.
They're installed on factory steel wheels and were balanced by a Hunter GSP9700. I typically run them from December 1 to March 31.
I know that the tire I use is old school - but only once have I needed help getting out of a stuck situation - so they work for me.

I just bought them last winter, and of course it was one of the warmest winters on record for Connecticut - didn't get a drop of snow. Put them on again a few weeks ago, the only storm we had was when I had the day off, so no need to go out. And this week they have the temps up in the 40's - no snow in sight. As crazy as this sounds, I want some snow to justify my snowtires!
The stock tires on my Malibu LTZ were horrendous in the snow - much worse that the Goodyear Eagle RS-A's that come on both of my Grand Prix GTP's and worse than the Goodyear Eagle GT-4's that came oun my '89 Cavalier z24.
I got Hankooks.... Can't tell you if they are good or bad.

I run Firestone Winterforce on the GMC Jimmy for VT winters. My Jimmy is 2wd but has posi which helps tremendously. The snow tires provide an extremely noticeable increase in traction, which translates to way better braking and turning as well as the obvious forward traction.
I've only been up in VT for 3 winters now, so these are the only snow tires I've owned, so I can't speak to comparisons with other brands.

I got the Firestone winterforce They are the stock size for Z24 rims 205/45/16s. I also am from ct and yeah last year we got no snow. Then this year the big storm we did get i didn't have to work and also didn't have the snow tires at the time.
This is my aunts driveway. I left me car on the top and walked down didn't trust it to get back up.

They are. My last cavalier was fine and made it up my aunts driveway with reg tires. Now i have snow tires on this new cavalier and so im waiting to see what the difference is now.
I use All Season BFG T/A Advantage on my stock 16s for the Impala. They do just fine in WI winters. I got all seasons because if something happens to my 18s, God willing it will not, but I have all seasons for whatever time I need. Plus we've had two very mild winters in a row now so it's nice.
Hey, you gotta watch that man...He'll go coastal on ya
Hehehe this is so funny, there is no snow there
I have some pirelli snowsports with studs in them. It worked OK the day we got 2 feet of snow in about 12 hours recently, many cars got stuck on the highways in random ways but I got home fine. With the low profile though they get "bumps" on the sidewall easily.

I have 4 Motomaster Snows from Crappy Tire on rims for the GA..will only take an hour to put them on...but since it rarely snows here, I just wait usually, until it does. If I go to altitude, then I put them on of course.
I will not drive the Dodge or the Escape in snow at sea level here; British Columbians use the roads here, and we all know what that means. (Port Mann Bridge, anyone?)
I have used both X-Ice and Alphin IIs on my cars for the past decade or so and they've been great. Well worth it when the weather gets crappy, and especially when it gets more icy. The Alpin IIs were wonderful for the CTS as the "all seasons" were useless unless my only intention was doing donuts or getting stuck. "All season" tires are for the seasons typically seen in Hawaii.

RV Heat
What is everyone using to maintain heat in your RV? I'm using an oil filled radiator. I'm also using a wireless temp sender in the camper. I can monitor the camper temp from the house to maintain above freezing temps.
I use a forced air fan disk heater. It has a t-stat set at 50*. I open every interior door and drawer and use a small clamp-on fan to circulate air. Also drop Rv anti-freeze in the p-traps. Never have had a problem.
Anti Freeze in the pee traps. What a great idea.:icon_idea:
I also use an oil filled heater, and open all the drawers and sink areas.
I just use the regular on board heater with the thermostat set as low as it will go.
I drain all water lines and put in the dri-z-air stuff in about 4 of those things along with rv anti freeze in all the traps plus a lil in the toilet. I leave no heat on at all in mine just check on it once a week or so. I also start and run my generator for about a half hour once or twice a month just to keep everything up and running. I also leave mine plugged in at all times.

wikiHow to Get Taller by Stretching
Three Methods:Doing Basic StretchesDoing Stretching ExercisesStaying Healthy While StretchingCommunity Q&A
Looking to increase your height? Make yourself taller by doing specific stretches and exercises. Stretch yourself taller by doing these stretches before the plates in your bones fuse together sometime between the ages of 19 to 27.[1] Follow the same advice to prevent yourself from shrinking as an adult.
Doing Basic Stretches
1Touch your toes. Start every morning by getting out of bed and stretching your back and hamstrings with some toe-touches.
- Touching your toes will help to loosen you up first thing in the morning.
- Doing this stretch will warm up your back muscles.
- Doing this stretch will improve your posture and strengthen your back. Make yourself look taller by standing upright.
- Start by reaching straight up with your arms above your head, before bending over and touching your toes. Try to keep your legs straight, but a little bend in the knee is fine.
- Finish by releasing and bring your hands back up above your head and straighten your spine.
2Do a bridge stretch. Improve flexibility in your back by doing this stretch.
- Completing a bridge stretch is a little tougher than just touching your toes.
- Start by lying on your back and reach your hands down to grab your ankles.
- Finish by lifting your torso from your hips so you are stretching out your back.
3Do a cobra stretch. Doing this yoga stretch will help improve flexibility in your back.[2] Relieve pressure on your back by doing this stretch.
- Doing this stretch after slouching can help to realign your back.
- Start by laying flat on your chest with your hands at either side of you.
- Finish by pushing down on your hands and lifting your chest up. Tilt your head back a little.
- Make the stretch more effective by using your abdominal muscles as much as you can. [3]
4Do a hip flexor stretch. Follow these instructions to release pressure on your lower back and abdominal muscles, with this stretch.
- Start by bending your knees with your hands on your hips.
- Put your knees in a straight line.
- Reach out one foot and place it flat on the ground ahead of you.
- Push your hips forward.
- Lean backwards a bit and tilt your head up to the ceiling.[4]
- Switch feet and repeat on other side.
- Try to do this stretch right before you go to bed.
Doing Stretching Exercises
1Do the yoga mountain pose. Do this simple exercise to help align your spine.
- Start by standing up straight.
- Finish by moving your shoulders back and down while you stretch your head up towards the ceiling.[5]
- Doing yoga exercises will help straighten the back so that you can push back your shoulders.
2Do Pilates. Increase your strength and flexibility by doing pilates.
- Take a Pilates class at a gym or a community center.
- Doing Pilates will improve your posture so that you look taller.[6]
- Be aware that Pilates are quicker and more intense than yoga.
3Go swimming. Swimming can stretch your body so that you look taller.
- Swimming will stretch your arms, legs, and back.
- Swim if you want a low impact way to exercise.
- Swimming also reduces pressure on your joints.
Staying Healthy While Stretching
1Eat properly. Make sure to combine your stretching and exercising with a healthy diet.
- Promote your body's growth by eating enough protein. Eat nuts, seeds, beans, fish, and meat.
- Make sure to get enough Vitamin D so that your muscles and bone grow properly. Modest amounts of Vitamin D can be found in fish, eggs, alfalfa, and mushrooms, as well as Vitamin D-fortified foods such as some milks and cereals. However, the vast majority of your Vitamin D comes from sunlight exposure. Just 15 minutes a day out in the sun can ensure you get enough Vitamin D.
- Help your bones grow by eating lots of calcium.[7] Find calcium in dairy products and green vegetables.
2Drink a lot of water. Aim to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.
- Drinking water will keep your body healthy so that you can grow properly
- Be aware that you need to keep hydrated to keep your body working well.
4Try to maintain good posture.
- Standing up straight will make sure that your spine doesn't curve as you grow.
- Look taller by standing up straight.
5Avoid ingesting any substance that will stunt your growth. Don't use the following:
- Alcohol
- Steroids
- Tobacco
Community Q&A
How do I get taller quick?wikiHow ContributorTry to stretch daily, and let your body grow naturally. You can't force it. It takes time.
How long do you hold the stretches?wikiHow ContributorAround 5 deep breaths at first. When you get better at them (and it doesn't hurt as much) try increasing the amount you can hold it for. Five deep breaths generally is enough to get a good stretch without taking too long, and without rushing.
What kind of diet is good for growing taller?wikiHow ContributorJust a healthy, balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from sugary and fatty foods such as fast food, soda, and sugary desserts. Try replacing white bread with 100% whole wheat bread. Also get plenty of protein from eggs, meat, tofu, beans, and nuts.
How long should you do these exercises for until you start seeing noticeable results?wikiHow ContributorYou will feel more able to do these stretches after about the first week, but don't expect noticeable differences right away. Just keep at it, and don't get discouraged! Remember. it'll be worth it in the end. It's also good for your health, so doing these exercises for the rest of your life won't hurt either.
Does caffeine or coffee affect your height?wikiHow ContributorNo, there is no proof caffeine stunts growth. However, it may keep you awake at nights, and a lack of sleep can affect growth.
If my parents are short, can I still grow like this?wikiHow ContributorIt's possible for children to be taller than their parents, but there are no guarantees. Do your best. Make sure to take good care of yourself in general, including getting enough sleep and eating a healthy diet. That will help ensure you grow as much as you are capable of growing.
Can food affect your height?wikiHow ContributorYes, the quality of the nutrition during teenage years is vital to growing taller. A diet rich in calcium, vitamin D (to absorb the calcium), protein, healthy fats and a variety of fruits and vegetables will produce the best results height wise. After 21 years of age for men and 18 years of age for women, food plays a minor role in height. At this point, one's height potential is already achieved and although it is important to maintain a balanced diet to avoid osteoporosis, the main factor to maintain height from these ages is posture, not food.
Can dance or gymnastics help me get taller?wikiHow ContributorRoutinely stretching will help to keep your body fit and flexible. Gymnastics won't affect your height either way, since studies have shown that most female gymnasts are genetically predisposed to being the size they are. Sprinting, cycling, and swimming will all help you grow taller before puberty.
I'm 5'2" and 15 years old; can I grow any taller?wikiHow ContributorIt depends in large part on your genetics, but most people don't stop growing until at least 18 years of age. You can probably expect some future growth.
Can stress affect my height?wikiHow ContributorYes it can. Stress can cause your body to not produce enough hormones, so be happy and don't fret about your stature.
Does thing about something or someone much effect our height !?
- Make sure to do stretches properly to reduce the risk of injury.
- Sleeping is the most important factor of your growth. It will relax your mind and body. An average person should get 8-10 hours of sleep each day.
- Try to keep your spine straight when you are sitting or standing.
- Don't take any medication to make yourself taller unless your doctor prescribes it. Be aware that medications like Human Growth Hormone usually don't work and have serious side effects.

Never shop or eat alone
If you own a smartphone or tablet, you're right in the middle of the second of the "5 Food Trends for 2012" that we're highlighting this week.
Today's trend is "Never shop or eat alone."
Technology is at the heart of this one, guiding consumers as they shop, prepare food and eat – at home and away-from-home – alone, or with others.
It's no surprise that apps for phones and tablets are driving this trend. In the store, apps are being used in a variety of ways, and that's only going to increase. Consumers are accessing store information, coupons, recipes and nutrition information, as well as connecting to other consumers with common food interests.
Many stores also are enhancing the in-store mobile/social networking experience by using location-based promotions and offers.
"With mobile, someone might be going down the grocery aisle, and you could pop up with a recipe for a new Pillsbury Crescent appetizer. And it could be, 'Try this, here's 50 cents off,' and a list of everything they need," says Katy Dickson, vice president of Marketing Excellence and Integration at General Mills.
Katy says it's about having the right content in the right place at the right time.
"Mobile opens up a world of opportunity because we can offer solutions directly at the point of need. More and more, people tend to have their mobile device with them at all times."
We've also seen stores streamline the checkout process with mobile payment apps, like what the "Scan It!" app does at Stop&Shop. It allows consumers to scan, tally and pay for groceries on their phones.
Digital wallets, with the ability to pay for products with your phone, also are in the mix.
Research also has shown that technology plays a big role in the planning process for a shopping trip, and how people plan the meals they want to prepare.
Look no further than the popularity of several Betty Crocker mobile products including the Betty Crocker Cookbook iPad app, as well as apps for the iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and a mobile website for people who'd prefer to surf the Web for recipes. Betty's iPad app was one of the first cookbooks for the device and is one of its most popular.
When you know what you want to make, you know what ingredients to shop for. So it makes sense to open a cookbook app before you go to the store, or bring it with you into the aisles.
As it all unfolds, both retailers and manufacturers are thinking about their next steps by learning more about how consumers are using the technology at our fingertips, today.
Editor's note: This is the second post in a five-part series, "5 Five Food Trends for 2012," as compiled by Consumer Insights at General Mills. Read about the other trends we profiled: "Free from gluten," "Boomer nutrition" and "Sustainability sustains."

Three members of Tennessee's men's tennis team won pre-qualifying singles matches Friday at the Icy Hot/ITA All-American Championships. Kiril Tcherveniachki and Matt Berry defeated their respective second-round opponents, while four other Vols were eliminated from the competition.
"It was a mixed day for the Vols" UT head coach Michael Fancutt said. "Highlighted by Matt Berry continuing his win streak with two good victories."
Berry extended his win streak to six with a pair of victories on Friday. In the morning session, Berry defeated Marquette's Brett Binkley 6-0, 6-3. In the afternoon, the UT sophomore came from behind to beat Furman's Ben Pauluhn 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. Berry will resume play Saturday at 10 a.m. against Northwestern's Adam Schaechterie.
Tcherveniachki received a bye into the second round, where he disposed of Northwestern's Matt Christian 6-2, 6-3. The New Zealand native faces Oregon's Markus Schiller Saturday at 9 a.m.

Grilled Artichokes with Lemony Mayo
This is terrific to serve with fish, chicken or meats from the grill or as a simple snack with cocktails before dinner.
Check out more favorites from the grill:
Grilled (or roasted) Asparagus
Mixed Grilled Beets with Orange Hazelnut Gremolata
Grilled Figs with Honey and Mascarpone
Grilled Pineapple with Malibu Rum Sauce
Trim away the top third of the artichoke. Use scissors to trim the remaining leaf tips. Cut each artichoke in half and discard the inner prickly purple leaves and hairy choke.
Place the artichoke halves, cut side down, in a large microwave safe bowl; drizzle with 1 tablespoon water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave 7-8 minutes or until just tender and an outer leaf pulls out easily. Remove plastic wrap and let stand until cool enough to handle.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar and garlic. Add the artichokes and turn gently to coat. Let stand while heating the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the artichokes from the marinade and grill, turning, until warmed through and lightly charred around the edges, about 5 minutes. Place on a serving platter; season with salt and pepper.
Serve with Lemon Mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
Lemony Mayo: Stir all ingredients together.
What's Needed:
2 large artichokes, rinsed well
½ cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
Lemony Mayo
½ cup mayonnaise
Zest of 1 lemon
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Dash of hot sauce

Many people suggest speech therapy for toddlers when they are slow to develop a larger vocabulary. I don't want to miss an important "window" for intervention but I sense that my 22 month old just needs time...His favorite words are "on," "down," our dog's name, "want that," "hold that" "help you," and he often uses babytalk/gibberish conversationally with a great deal of inflection. He does a lot of pointing and waiting for me to say the word but not immediately parroting it.
A variable in his early childhood experience which may be a factor in his verbal development is that on our travels he's been exposed to foreign languages such as Japanese, Turkish, and Chinese for periods of up to four weeks at a time since birth.
Should I be looking for a speech therapist or following my gut on this, and what if I'm wrong?
Thank you for your feedback!
What would be the "cons" of doing speech therapy? Generally Early Intervention would come to your home, do therapy, and it would be free. I am a big fan of EI, why wait to see if things will get worse, get the therapy and catch up while they are young!
(And make sure you always get a hearing test before you start speech therapy!)
Who are these "many people"? Are they professionals who know the milestones and your child?
The first step is to ascertain if your child is behind norms or not, and if so, why.
I agree with the previous poster than anytime there are concerns, a hearing check (not a screening but a real hearing test with an audiologist experienced with working with toddlers) is in order.
but everything has pros and cons

I agree - instead of forking over money for speech therapy that your child may not need, meet with your child's pediatrician to discuss your concerns, and then get a developmental evaluation if the ped. thinks it's a good idea.
There is a huge range of normal for all developmental milestones. You mentioned your son's favorite words, but have you counted the number of words he uses? It might be higher than you think, and may be well within the normal range.
My daughter didn't say much until around age 2, but she had enough words that it wasn't a concern. Then she had a speech explosion and started speaking in full sentences, and I could have a give-and-take conversation with her by age 2.5. She's not yet 3 and never stops talking.
I kind of feel the same way you do about young speech therapy. Give the kids a little time to have a language explosion and even learn how to say all of the sounds correctly. Even if it is free - it's not something I'm interested in at this point.
FWIW - both of my children started verbalizing way more between 22 months and 26 months. It was like every week there was something new. My daughter turned 2 a few weeks ago and the difference in her talking between now and then is phenomenal. My almost 4 year old still has a few sounds he has trouble saying, but I remember reading somewhere that it is "normal" for certain sounds not to develop until age 5 or 6. I just practice with him on my own when I remember. I figure when he starts school they will say something if it's outside what's normal.
Mama to three
Here is an interesting article about children with language delays:
At the end of it is a section that describes when you may want to seek professional guidance about your child's speech. We chose to seek a speech therapist much sooner than is indicated on that chart. I would follow your gut, what works for you.
At 22 months putting 2-word sentences together sounds right on track. How are his receptive skills? Does he follow directions? We were relieved to find out our dd has great reception, even though she only speaks a few words at 22 months. We were very concerned about long stretches of silence, and very little babbling.
My two girls were later on the tail end of "normal" speech development. By later, I mean that even with me being a laid back mom, I was started to get concerned and had a date/age in my mind of when I wanted to see more progress. Both eventually ended up being evaled and barely missed qualifying. My now 9 year has a couple sounds that still are not correct, not normal by her age that we are currently working on. My 5 year is still at the tail end of normal, not everyone else can still understand her. My first son however was/is certainly speech delayed. I knew by 12 months there was an issue and as soon as he turned 18 months, I was calling EI. More time was not what he needed. I am a huge fan of EI after our experiences. Early intervention really does make a difference.
My DD's slow speech develop was the ONLY sign that she had minor hearing problems. "Giving a kid time" is simply not always the best idea. Getting experts involved is HOW one figures out what is going.
I'm neither pro nor con on speech therapy.
I'm advocating seeking real information about one's child and making decisions based on that information.
but everything has pros and cons
It's been really helpful to get all this feedback. Each one of the responses has helped to inform me in this process. We're getting ready for my toddlers two year, well-child check-up so I'll ask a number of questions then. He has has his hearing thoroughly tested, no problem there :)
You might really like Speechtails (.com)! I have been using it for some time with two children I take care of. We really love it, and I have seen great results. I have been an in-home daycare provider for 18 years. This is the best speech program I have come across. I love being able to do it here, at home, and whenever it fits into our day best. You are a good mom! Keep it up, Good Luck!

It's kick-off time for an event we told you to save the date for recently: the third-annual Super Dog Sunday™! This charitable event, which culminates on the day of "the big game," benefits Petfinder Foundation to help them do more of their work assisting shelters and rescues to find loving homes for homeless pets. Along the way, participants will enter to win some of the over $1,500 in prizes!
As we told you about earlier today, we've got some pre-game excitement with the #SuperDogPics Twitter party on January 20, an event where you can learn more about improving your dog photography and doctoring Petfinder photos to give them a football theme.

(Hint: you just might find some info in our upcoming posts that will help you with the Rafflecopter giveaways…)
Along with prizes from those sponsors, four lucky readers will win prizes provided by Gypsy Eyes Clothing (on Facebook at Gypsy Eyes Clothing). This Etsy store was a crowd favorite in last year's #SuperDogPics.
How to Participate
Now is a good time to start thinking about your entries in Super Dog Sunday™ pet photo contest.
You can enter photos of ANY kind of pets–including adoptable pets on Petfinder– but here's the game regulation: your photo has to have a football theme. It doesn't have to be a particular team…any kind of football-related shot works like this one of our dogs:
…or you can get high-tech and doctor an existing photo to give it a football theme, using an online editor (we'll be writing more about these free services in future posts):
We'll have lots of tips during the #SuperDogPics Twitter party, too!
Game Rules
- You can enter one photo per pet.
- Every photo must have a football theme.
- Along with your own pets, you may enter a photo of an adoptable Petfinder pet to which you've added a football theme.
- You'll need to enter a full-sized photo (no tiny photos or thumbnails). Please email your digital photo to email@example.com.
- You may begin emailing photos immediately.
- Bloggers can enter their photos or photos their readers have submitted to them starting at 5:30 PM ET on Sunday, January 20. That's when our #SuperDogPics Twitter Party will end and the entries officially open for viewing via a blog hop on All Things Dog Blog and DogTipper. The code for sharing the hop will be available to bloggers who may post the hop to their own sites as well.
- This year we're adding a special "Cheer Team" of bloggers and social media enthusiasts to help spread the word of the event and its adoptables. We'll have more details on this soon!
- The deadline for entries is 6:30 PM ET on Sunday, February 3, kickoff time for the Super Bowl. At this time our judges will go to work, grouping your entries by category and naming a winner in each group.
- These winners will be announced on Monday afternoon, February 4.
- We'll publish a slideshow of all entries here and on All Things Dog Blog.
- Pet lovers everywhere are invited to enter photos and share in the fun but the giveaways are restricted to US and Canada mailing addresses (with the exception of Quebec due to strict giveaway rules.) For full rules, please see the Event Barkers Rules page.
Here's a slideshow of some of last year's entries to help ignite a creative spark! We'll look forward to seeing your photos in Super Dog Sunday™ and look forward to seeing you at the #SuperDogPics Twitter party on January 20, too!
Disclosure: Super Dog Sunday™ sponsors have made charitable donations to Petfinder Foundation and are supplying the $1500+ in prizes to be given away to 8 lucky winners in the photo contest. This event has been organized and produced completely as a charity effort by Event Barkers.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hi my name is XXXXX XXXXX welcome to JustAnswer. Please reply back if a solution doesn't help immediately.
some MAC drive have a small hole in them. if you see one the size of a paperclip, unbend a paperclip until it is straight and push it into the hole and it will open. You will have to use a little force
I only see one small hole and it's not located near the disk slot. It's located center bottom (just under the power plug. Is this what you mean?
no it would be by the drive
there's no hole near the drive
did you select eject from the file menu
when I put a disk in, it always shows in the form of a icon on my desktop. With this disk however, no icon shows
shut down the machine and turn it back on while holding the mouse button down. Continue holding it pressed until either the CD ejects or it gets to the login
didn't work
click the application folder then utilities
ok, I'm there
click terminal
type drutil tray eject
did as told... the drive made a couple of noises but no eject
its really stuck in there then. It must not be seated correctly. Is you drive just an opening like a mail slot or does it have a door
You can try to pull it out with tweezers of something similar. Turn off the MAC before doing it though
is this a laptop or a desktop
opening isn't wide enough to allow tweezers.
it's a desktop
can you turn the MAC upside down while still on and execute that same command in terminal
I'll try
be careful. don' want to make things worse
nope,still not out
also no icon on my desktop
is the cd valuable
I mean, an icon showing the disk
no, not at all
put the mac back right side up and try to stick a very thin nail file or something similar in on top of the cd and press down and try to pull it out
do I need to turn the computer off first>
other option is if mac is light enough with power off pick it up with cd slot facing downwards and shake it.
finally managed to get it out, although I'm a little concerned sticking a nail file in there. But it's out. My computer is relatively new and a guilded the disk in gently.... any idea why this happened?
either it was in upside down, not seated correctly, there were 2 CDs in there on top of each other (try to eject again) or the CD was warped or mis sized
ok, well thanks for your help... would not have attempted to stick a file in the slot. Take care.

This offer by Sprint comes with a 5% premium to Clearwire's stock price from Wednesday, but it should be noted that by the time, Clearwire stock had gone up after rumors of Sprint's interest in the company emerged. That is why Reuters reminds that Sprint's offer actually represents a 20% premium if we take a look at Clearwire's December 10 closing stock price.
The offers is currently being evaluated by a committee of Clearwire's board.

|That's great Delgado and Jazzy have a love/hate relationship, though it is getting better and it's now not unusual to find them side by side sleeping on the couch or bed. Jazzy will not just run behind me now if she's scared, she'll go to Delgado if I'm not close enough which is pretty amazing.
Watching how my pups play just warms my heart.
We were a little nervous how Zander (gsd)would treat daisy ( min pin) if he would play gentle enough. And I'm so happy to say those two LOVE each other he is so gentle with her and will play tug with her and let her think she's actually putting up a fight and sometimes even let her win. When they are in the pen together they cuddle and sometimes when he is chewing bones he will bring her one to play with. Does anyone else have similar situations. Needles to say we couldn't be happier. I wonder if he just knows to be gentle. Attachment 199089

Department of Fish and Wildlife Records Guide
Agency History - 1975-Present
When the Oregon Legislative Assembly merged the separate state fish and wildlife commissions in 1975, it created a department that has had an impact on recreation and jobs in dollar amounts far beyond that imagined by most citizens. A major reorganization of the agency occurring in 1986 saw the duties of the department's single deputy director split into two separate jobs; deputy for operations and deputy for policy and programs. During this reorganization the former Environmental Management Section was elevated to division status and renamed the Habitat and Conservation Planning Division.
In recent decades, the Legislative Assembly has been active in considering bills related to the Department of Fish and Wildlife. For example, in a five-month session, the 1985 Legislative Assembly considered 90 related bills. During that session several important changes were made in wildlife law including some license fee adjustments.
The Legislative Assembly also created a Pacific States Legislative Task Force consisting of legislators from the four coastal states. This legislative group acted as a clearinghouse for opinions from fishing interests.
Several legislative changes in 1985 were designed to have a beneficial effect on department revenue. The department was given authority by House Bill 2374 to seek voluntary contributions from sportsmen for special management programs.
Considerable attention was focused on water policy and law and several changes were made to the water law in 1985. Creating most interest was the passage of House Bill 2990 dealing with the siting of small hydroelectric projects in state waters. Finally, 1985 legislation (House Bill 2111) provided for the exemption of STEP (Salmon Trout Enhancement Program) volunteers from having to obtain water rights for fish egg incubation boxes using less than 30 gallons per minute of water.

M Word
Real Mothers in Contemporary Art
Edited by Myrel Chernick, Jennie Klein
"The M Word puts the most hallowed and fraught life relationship of all into the centre of visual culture. Working through feminist ambivalence about motherhood (in all of its myriad and motley forms), this collection offers a crucial corrective to the dearth of discussions about life choices and living tensions for creative women in art and art discourse. With a range of key feminist artists, art historians, and theorists addressing topics from Mexican feminist art collectives to the Holocaust and mothering to queer mothering, this book presents a range of rigorous thinking in textual and visual form. In The M Word, maternity, as a state, an ideology, an "image," becomes the perfect pivot through which to examine women imagining ourselves into the sometimes incompatible roles of caring, care-taking, thinking, and making."
- Amelia Jones, Grierson Chair in Visual Culture, Department of Art History and Communication, McGill University

|Topic Review (Newest First)
When to go and how?
It's been said many times that if you wait 'till everything is perfect, you'll never go at all. That being said, one does have to be prepared and more importantly, to know the limits of yourselves and your craft. Some good reading of encouragement can be found in a recently published on-line article of Bill Teplow, who sailed his Potter 19, "Chubby" from Berkley marina to Hawaii in 24 days. Though blessed with an uneventful trip, the preparations he did may be of interest. Also many "smaller" craft have done repeated short trips on both oceans without incident ( look up "micro cruiser", Layden/Bolduc). In short go when YOU are ready, sail safely, but GO!!
|I just read a great article of a couple that did the same thing at Pacific Northwest Boating News: Two tales of sailing down the west coast | Three Sheets Northwest and it will open your eyes to whats involved.
Perfectly reasonable to do the trip in a 27 boat. However, be clear that you will be coastal cruising. You'll sail almost entirely by day covering between 20 and 60 miles between nightime anchorages.
Once in a rare occasion you'll sail 2-3 days and nights continuously. You'll be thrilled if you sail more than 150 miles in a 24 hr stretch.
Many days you will be stuck in some picturesque cove, repairing sails or fixing some greasy smelly parts.
I strongly reccomend doing it, but set your sights appropriately. It is some 2,000 sea miles to Cabo from your starting point - Give your experience and knowledge - plan 70-100 days for the trip.
Originally Posted by DRFerron View Post

You couldn't pay me enough to be in a boat that small, especially in the Pacific, but that's just me. My personal line is drawn way before that point.
I suggest that you read John Vigor's The Seaworthy Offshore Sailboat and anything by Bernard Moitessier but especially A Sea Vagabond's World. Also, Tania Aebi. She circumnavigated in a Contesa 26, documented in Maiden Voyage.
Good luck!
|Latitude 38 also has the baja ha-ha. It is a regatta from San Diego to Cabo. Lot's of boats sail down the west coast and meet up in San Diego to do the Baja portion together. Anyone who has traveled to ports in Hawaii and the south pacific can tell you the same thing, there are plenty of boats over there that most people on this forum wouldn't board while at dock much less do a pacific crossing on. That being said sailing down the west coast is really heavy, and Baja can be twice as gnarly. You should really give yourself the most time possible and just go port to port on nice days, and if the weather outlook looks sketchy go see a movie and lay around the beach, there are a few spots with no safe harbors but it should be fine if you set out with no time frame in mind and enjoy the trip. Anyone planning on doing that trip from first timers to seasoned cruiser should have their boat surveyed or at least gone over before leaving.
|There's a nice article in either this month's or late month's Latitude 38 about a couple that did the same thing you're planning in a Catalina 27. I'm sure it's on their online magazine as well.
|Im a rookie planning to do the same trip in my 1973 Morgan O/I 33' and would also like more info on sailing south. I might be heading south at the end of Sept. or begining of Oct. So any info you get send it my way please.
Look up Portland Sailing Center and book yourselves a trip to the coast on the Messenger. I'm going to do the up-river trip this year, bar crossing next year. Real nice guy. Messenger is moored at the marina where I rent my slip. I think you could learn a lot on the bar crossing adventure.
You should also get some good sailing skills on the Columbia, especially since the winds have been picking up lately.
Best of Luck!!!

Neither of us have been on the ocean in a boat before. Our Newport is from 1972; we got it very cheap and have made some upgrades, but have pretty basic gear in general. We've often heard that you need at least a 30 foot boat to cruise the Pacific. Thoughts? Advice? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Search for a local squadron and get in touch with them.
We are the oldest safe boating training organization in the country.
PS- You could almost for sure find some member of the local squadron who'd take you out to sea either on there boat or yours. Or both

Good story Erps! Similar story about our boat, two guys left California for a multi-year sail in the Pacific. As soon as they arrived in Honolulu one guy got on a plane back to CA and never returned.
Like everyone else I think it's only prudent to get some actual "ocean time" either by crossing the bar and sailing around for a couple of days in your boat or crewing with someone. No sense ruining your dream by finding out too late that one or both of you don't like open ocean sailing. I would guess you don't have much water capacity on a Newport 27, that might be the limiting factor for you.

All the grandbabies with my parents. Makes me smile.
The whole gang!
Now we do big kids night out in our mom-mobiles.
Since then, the hubs sis has moved in with us. It is seriously awesome. We've been on one date night, going on one this weekend and I've been to the grocery store like 5 times alone.
She's also helping me get stuff done around the house. We painted yesterday, and are doing 3 rooms this weekend. I'll show you pics next week!
And by the way, I've missed y'all! I know a lot of you are my twitter friends, but you who aren't...so have no idea what's going on in your life. I'll be catching up soon!

Justin Theroux proposed to his now-fiancee Jennifer Aniston with a striking 8-carat diamond ring, and the actress says she's thrilled with her beau's design.
"I was impressed," Jennifer told People of her blinding bauble. "I had no idea what I wanted. He just knows what I like."

To get a feel for the actress' jewelry taste, Justin enlisted the help of Jennifer's trusted stylists for guidance.
"[He] worked with the girls that I have worked with for years and years and years, so he kind of was picking the specialists' brains," she told the mag. "He kept it within a very small circle of people. It was one of the sneakiest jobs I've ever seen, actually."

The actress was completely caught off guard by her "Wanderlust" co-star's proposal - something Jennifer said is nearly an impossible feat.
"It's hard to pull one over on me, where I'm not like, 'Hmm, you're acting really strange,'" she said. "It was... a very covert operation."
The couple became engaged in August, on Justin's birthday.

"Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," a rep for Justin told Access Hollywood at the time.

'Girl-Positive' Ad Campaigns Support Feminist Consumer Discourse
Ads geared toward girls that open positive discussions about puberty and women's health.
Mid-June seemed to be the "time of the month" for women and girl-positive ad campaigns coming from feminine care and beauty companies, and the Internet has seen a flow of positive public reaction. Two weeks ago, Hello Flo, a company that provides starter kits for girls beginning menstruation, introduced their second humorous ad featuring language that many companies often avoid by employing phrases like "lady's days" or using an unidentifiable blue liquid to represent menstruation.
HelloFlo's first attention-garnering ad aired last summer, featuring a young girl who was the first at camp to get her period and subsequently took rank as the "Camp Gyno," providing women's health products to campers. This year's ad, featuring a young girl who lies to her mother and friends about getting her period and joining "the blood sisters" club, is subjected to embarrassment when her mother, who's aware of the deceit, throws her a "First Moon" party. The party games include "pin the pad on the period" and "bobbing for ovaries," featuring phrases and language often silenced in the ad world.
With the release of both of Hello Flo's snarky and creative takes on maturation and puberty, the ad encourages a healthy dose of discourse about the realities of puberty that are never usually discussed, even in tampon commercials.
Another direct approach was taken by Always, a long staple of women's health care products. With a commercial that addressed the phrase "like a girl," Always tackled the stereotypes that we so commonly associate with women in sports. After asking women to "run, fight or throw like a girl," the ad turns around this negatively associated adage, ending with the phrase, "Why can't 'run like a girl' also mean 'win the race?' "
When ads like these from Hello Flo and Always are released into the public, those who lurk outside of Jezebel and usual forums for feminist discourse take notice. But these ads have caused question in the feminist media communities about whether asking if using feminism as a platform is a ploy for corporations to gain profit. In an opinion piece about Pantene's "Sorry not Sorry ad," Bust asks whether "inserting feminist discourse" defeats the purpose of using it.
But regardless of the problems that might exist within them, the apparent effects of these ads, such as the the #likeagirl campaign, are inspiring millions of interactions on Twitter. People are watching, listening and talking, and that's always a great start.

Corosolic Acid
Corosolic Acid is derived from the leaf of banaba. It is a triterpenoid compound which has actions in stimulating glucose transport into cells. As such, corosolic acid plays a role in regulating levels of blood sugar and insulin in the blood. For some people, fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin are related to appetite, hunger and various food cravings particularly craving for carbohydrates such as bread and sweets. By keeping blood sugar and insulin levels in check, corosolic acid may be an effective supplement for promoting weight loss in certain individuals. It appears as a white powder.

Re "News of lower mission age excites Mormons" (Tribune, Oct. 7):
The new policy change by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that lowers the age for potential missionaries from 19 to 18 will certainly further reduce the number of Utahns who serve in our military.
Utah already ranks 49th in enlistments per capita. This is a remarkable statistic for a state that has always strongly supported our military and wars in Vietnam through Iraq and Afghanistan.
It seems our LDS neighbors are fine with supporting these conflicts, as long as their own children are serving missions and not joining our armed services.

First, a caveat: He's obviously not a lock at this moment in his career. In order for any of this to be relevant, he has to continue these trends for at least another 5 seasons, and preferably 10+ more seasons.
However... it is interesting to note:
The only quarterbacks to have as many or more playoff wins as Flacco, and as good or better of a passer rating in those wins, are:
Joe Montana - 16 Wins - 105.4 QB Rating
Brett Favre - 13 Wins - 107.3 QB Rating
Troy Aikman - 11 Wins - 109.2 QB Rating
Kurt Warner - 9 Wins - 110.0 QB Rating
Peyton Manning - 9 Wins - 104.3 QB Rating
Bart Starr - 8 Wins - 108.6 QB Rating
Steve Young - 8 Wins - 105.0 QB Rating
Eli Manning - 8 Wins - 100.1 QB Rating
Dan Marino - 8 Wins - 99.6 QB Rating
And then there's our boy:
Joe Flacco - 8 Wins - 98.7 QB Rating
First, a note on Bart Starr: His actually has credit for 9 wins, but I was being fair to everybody else and taking away his 1965 game against the Baltimore Colts where he was injured out of the game on the very first play. Frankly, he shouldn't get credit for that win.
Now, One thing I notice about that company is that all of them are either in the Hall of Fame (Montana, Young, Aikman, Starr, Marino), or absolute Hall of Fame locks (Favre, Warner, P. Manning, E. Manning), with the exception of Joe Flacco and Eli Manning.
Eli Manning has made a pretty good case for himself to get in some day, as well. Could Flacco be on pace to make a similar case?
By the way, the other QBs with as many or more play-off wins as Flacco (but with a lower QB Rating in those wins) are:
Tom Brady - 17 Wins - 93.8 QB Rating
John Elway - 14 Wins - 88.0 QB Rating
Terry Bradshaw - 14 Wins - 96.0 QB Rating
Roger Staubach - 12 Wins - 92.8 QB Rating
Ben Roethlisberger - 10 Wins - 88.2 QB Rating
Donovan McNabb - 9 Wins - 92.3 QB Rating
Jim Kelly - 9 Wins - 85.9 QB Rating
Jim Plunkett - 8 Wins - 88.6 QB Rating
First, a note on Staubach: he actually only has credit for 11 wins, but I'm being fair to him and including his stats and the win from the 1972 Divisional game against San Francisco, which he didn't start, but he came off the bench with 2 minutes left, down by 12, and won the game.
Now, Once again, that's some pretty grand company. You've got your Hall of Famers (Elway, Bradshaw, Staubach, Kelly), and your absolute Hall of Fame lock (Brady). Then of course you've got Roethlisberger, who may get in some day, and Donovan McNabb, who at one point in his career looked like a shoe-in, but after a drawn-out fade-out to end his career, may not be in the conversation anymore. Jim Plunkett is still in the conversation, and may still get in some day. If he doesn't, it's because he never had long-term success and wasn't good in the regular season. Obviously, there's also the matter that these three guys haven't been as instrumental to the win in their post-season victories as Flacco has been, as evidenced by their lower passer ratings in those games.
So accounting for all 17 players in NFL history with as much or more post-season success as Flacco, all but 4 are Hall of Fame guarantees. That's fantastic company, especially considering that 2 of those remaining 4 also have a good chance to go in some day, and the other 2 are on the fringes of the conversation, and 3 of the 4 who aren't locks were not as instrumental to their post-season successes for their teams as Flacco has been for the Ravens.
I guess what I'm trying to say is... Flacco has been building himself a nice little career here, that at its current trajectory, if we are fortunate enough for him to continue it, looks set for a ride all the way into Canton.

Lord Zentei wrote:To preempt yet more bullshit, the point is this: you are asserting consistently that Egyptians were indigenous Africans and that they did not originate due to an influx of people from beyond Africa. I am not contesting any of that, nor have I throughout this thread.
I am disputing the claim that "African" is synonymous with "Black".
Despite the fact that some scholars (in the studies that I've cited) do in fact equate both terms, I have not done so throughout this thread. For example in the limb proportion comparison of Pre-Dynastic Lower Egyptians to "Africans", Europeans and Middle Easterners, the author insinuates that all African populations are tropically adapted when they are not (most Northern Africans are not). None the less the fact remains that they group with tropical populations in that respect and not those who are adapted to a sub tropical environment (the Middle East and most of North Africa).
Pointing out that the Egyptians were tropically adapted has nothing to do with anything, since "tropical adaption" is not synonymous with "negroid".
The term "negroid" is based on external anatomical traits thought to only be found in a particular populations (which is suppose to indicate close affinities across the board) is more less a social description that for the most part has lost it's value in mainstream science. Older studies for example have consistently labeled ancient Egyptians specimens as "Super Negroid" based on their limb proportions in relation to other Africans. The problem with that however is that populations who are not "African" also fall within the same range for limb proportions, such as aboriginal Australians, Melanesians, and some other southeast Asian populations. The commonality that people who as super tropically adapted in this fashion is dark skin, which is proven based on ecological principals. Therefore the ancient Egyptians would have been an indigenous "dark skinned" African populations (how dark....?), which is what most in western society would label as black.
Moreover, the human population beyond Africa are all emigrants from Africa, so merely pointing out that a group originated in Africa says nothing about their "blackness".
Once again, based on the limb proportions of early Europeans, scientist were recently able to build a reconstruction what they most likely looked like:
Ecological principal.
I also questioning the relevance of such labels as "black" and "white" to the ancient Egyptians.
Many in our society (black and white) have inquired about this for centuries, is that in itself not enough relevance? Color and race issues are an integral part of our society and we (Americans) are notorious for that. Just check the link to the video of the Manchester lecture by Egyptologist Sally-Ann Ashton
Notice at around 9 minutes she runs through what is essentially hate mail by pissed off white Americans that Cleopatra was represented as half black in a reenactment on the Discovery Channel. Proving just how relevant shit like this is to our society rather you or anyone else on this wants to admit it or not.
Nothing else. So just about all your points are pretty much irrelevant.
Bye then
As far as I can tell, most people in this thread have held the same view, and it was pointed out to you from page 1 of this thread. Yet you keep harping on about these same points as if that meant anything.
It's obvious by now that the white and black participants in this thread have opposing views from one another of how this thread is playing out, despite the ratio. More evidence that race plays a large part in Western (particularly American) society.

Rep. Paul Gosar Issues Statement on Roe v. Wade Anniversary
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S (R - AZ) issued the following statement on the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision.
"As a dentist and health care provider for over 25 years, I am fully committed to protecting the unborn and upholding the sanctity of life. We should not celebrate Roe v. Wade today, but rather pause and reflect on the nearly 50 million lives lost."
"It is our moral and constitutional obligation that the life of every human being, born and unborn, is respected and protected under the law."
Earlier this month, Congressman Gosar co-sponsored the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act (H.R.217), which prohibits federal funding for Planned Parenthood or any other organization that provides abortions. He was a co-sponsor of this bill in the 112th Congress as well.

Post subject: Rodney Thomas or Eddie George????
I'm stealing an idea that I believe TitanRick put into my head. The year Eddie George was drafted in the 1st rd we had a guy named Rodney Thomas who was a 1000yd back the previous year. People questioned why draft a RB in the 1st when we already had a RB? Well, I think that one was a good move. Do I think RB at #6 is the best selection....i don't know. But if RBrown or CBenson are there they would be great picks at #6.

Burton is right. We could have a very devestating backfield, but why do that with so many other weaknesses. OT, LB, CB, WR, and DE can all be severly upgraded with the 6th pick.

Yeah, man great idea, draft Benson, or Ronnie Brown, that way we could have 2 HUGE cap numbers at the same position RB. Thats really a big weakness for us right now, with Brown being a top 5 RB when healthy.Thatswhat we need to do is put most of our cap room into 2 pro bowl running backs. Listen I understand that Benson and Ronnie Brown are good but Chris Brown is a stud. If he can stay healthy, which I think he will then we will be fine at that position. We have too many other big weaknessess to try and fill with the number 6 spot. Maybe bring back Antwain Smith or Eddie George to provide relief, but I would definitely not draft a RB untill the second day!

Their are a number of players that will make it to the pro bowl from this draft, many will be available at 6 other than a RB. And why have two possible pro bowl running backs when you could fix a team.

Thats why we should have a good runnin game because our offense will be on the field longer than our defense, thats the whole point.
But i heard that we'll trade close to the 10th pick. maybe San Diego or the Redskins. And we'll pick Rolle since he ranked in 10-12.

Your just an idiot. I give up. First off, drafting a rb at number six doesn't mean he'll automatically be a hall of fame runner. There has been a lot of busts. Far more 1st rnd busts than hall of famers. Second, getting one in the first doesn't mean we'll be on the field longer and keep the other teams offense off yadda yadda. The running game works with a great line. It needs a deep threat to stretch the field, and a QB to get it there. an inefficient passing game allows the defense to stack the line and play the run. You can't simply get a good back and run 50+ times a game, it's not that simple. Team game remember, TEAM. And there are still plenty of guys on day 2 who can spell Brown in the backfield and be great in the Titans offense.

Just to clarify what I may have started here...
I'm not saying I want the Titans to draft a back. I'd much rather get a stud at another position and let Brown carry the load next year. And if Eddie returns to back him up, I'm all for it.
I was just mentioning the Eddie draft because ppl on here seem CONVINCED that the Titans won't take a back. I don't think you can write it off as a possibility simply because the Titans have proven repeatedly that they draft BPA - regardless of need. When the took Eddie, I thought Rodney Thomas was good enough and completely pissed they "wasted" a pick on Eddie.
So if the question is who we WANT to take, then I'm hoping for a CB, LB or WR. But if the question is who we think Reese and Fisher will take, I don't think you can discount the backs if one falls to us.

I agree tht there are MANY holes. But, Benson or RBrown will be perennial pro bowlers in the NFL
So will A. Rolle, or another position that we need.

"we haven't been there yet but my friend has recoomended this place to me. He brings his 2 bullmastiffs and Beagle there all the time. when we have time we will attend this park. I although have heard nothing but good remarks"
Perfect, except for the lack of a fountain inside!
Sometimes my dad takes me to visit his friend at the Corona Airport, and my mom takes me to the dog park across the street to run and play. I like this park because it has lots of shady trees and open grass to run on, and the stone benches are so cool and nice to lie on! The only problem is that we have to bring a big bowl and I have to wait while my mom fills it up at the fountain outside the gate, before we go in. I like to share my water with the other doggies, so sometimes we have to go back outside the gate to get more water! Silly humans! Why don't they add a pipe for INSIDE the park, so we don't have to stop our play? :-)
Nice park
Its a nice park very clean and lots of people. I only had one complaint that its both a small and big dog park. Also the dog water fountain is located outside the dog park. I dont go here anymore but if I had a big dog I would definately go here. Update:They recently added a small dog only section.posted: February 22nd, 2007
