Good, informative DVD
By Brian Diwns
from Fairfield, OH
I received this DVD for Christmas, along with the master set. I'm a person with NO art experience whatsoever. I must say that the DVD gave me the tools to make at least a decent first painting. Complete with little "happy little trees"! :)

The Mt Victoria Residents Association is an active advocate on behalf of the community, aiming to further the interests of our neighbourhood with local and central government. We've been doing this work for decades, promoting the needs of residents and opposing inappropriate development in the neighbourhood.
Any resident in Mt Victoria can become a member of the Association – annual membership is only $10 for individuals, $20 for families or $5 unwaged. To join, simply mail your details and a cheque to MVRA, PO Box 19-056, Courtenay Place, Wellington 6149.
The Association holds an AGM in September each year, where officers are elected from amongst the local residents. If you would like to contribute your time and energies to helping make our community a better place, you can volunteer to join the committee by e-mailing us at mvra[at] mtvictoria.org.nz (note the address has been munged to help prevent spam!)
Things We Care About
There are a number of areas where MVRA is actively involved in promoting the interests of the community:
- We are consulted by the Council on all demolition resource consents in the Mt Victoria neighbourhood. The demolition protocol forms part of the District Plan, and was put in place in response to the wholesale destruction of Mt Victoria's heritage through inappropriate development in the 1970s and 1980s. One of the recent examples of the application of the demolition rule was at 63 Brougham Street.
- We actively monitor and make submissions on resource consent issues that affect local residents, such as Transit's intention to build a second Mt Victoria tunnel, local development issues and events such as the regular SummerSet concerts.
- We run an annual inorganic rubbish collection day in conjunction with the Wellington City Council to help keep our neighbourhood beautiful! (These are generally the first Saturday in December.)
- We work with other groups – such as the Mt Victoria Historical Society – to protect the heritage of our unique inner-city neighbourhood.

The Focus rides and handles nicely, but I'm going from a Mazda 6 with a V6 and after driving the Focus I couldn't help but feel that I'm going to be downgrading. There are certain things on the Focus that scream "cheap", like the carpeting, the rear seats, the trunk liner, etc.
That said, the Focus gets much better mileage and will be lots lighter for towing behind my RV.
I'm not sure if comparing a Ford Focus to a Mazda 6 would be a fair comparison since the Mazda 6 is kind of a flagship car with Mazda and in a entirely different segment (mid-to-full size sedans) so I would presume the trim would be a bit more on the nicer side.
Also, one of the first things I did when I got my hatch was put a cheap trunk liner in there from Walmart (which I trimmed to fit) because I knew with the groceries and hockey and snowboarding equipment I'll be putting in there it's a safe bet against moisture. :)

I got some amazing results on my coolsculpting treatment on my belly. I was so happy with them that I am now doing my flanks. This is so exciting for me because I work out and get properly and no matter what I still had issues. I recommend any body that needs some extra help to check out Synergi MedSpa. READ MORE

*You can't bash something and then say oooo but im not part of it* cause once you run ur mouth your now apart of it.
Also, now that things has turn around in favour of EU guilds, now everyone saying "bad" things about US guilds are haters, flamers and trolls.
Haha, nice going there buddy, I see what you did there
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen

Got to love these threads.
One side coming up with all sorts of reasons as to why they didn't get it: "Not as much welfare, less nerds, higher employment rates and expectations" bla bla ...
Both sides trying to come across as the least affected by the discussion and the most comedically amused by the other side's words, by spamming their replies full with words like "rofl, lmao, lolol" and " " - smileys.
I don't care really. US , EU , our governments are all a pile of shit and there is barely any difference between me as european or the average joe from the US to warrant a whole bunch of different laws, rules, taxes, obligations and rights. Nationalities are a pile of shit. Only great for having a bunch of wealthy fucking assholes that can screw over their population per country.
The best part is always watching the right wing rage on social media and getting banned.
The U.S. even gets a 1-day head-start.
It is very interesting when you think about it. I definitely believe that the Europeans have better discipline and focus when it comes to things such as World-First progression raiding. It's just like how Asians seem to be amazing at many things. There's no explaination for it, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with the mindset of growing up in a certain country. It's definitely on the psychological level.
That is not to say that one country is better than the other. It's just that one will consistently outperform the other at certain tasks.
Btw, I never claimed I was better and never said I'm playing WoW even, just a bystander that likes to watch WoW, D3, Starcraft 2 streams.
But I understand your need to defend the US guilds, when BL had such an advantage in the beginning, servers being up way before EU guilds and all.
I get you "bro"
Why is this US vs EU? it should be World vs Finland since Paragon shit on everyone.

That's what a group gets together regularly in Tualatin to do for fun
When Sam Keator sees someone walk into the Tualatin Grange for his Wednesday night Irish dance classes, he expects at least one thing: that they try to have a good time.
'The biggest joy I have is when you see someone who has never done this before. They're just bashful, shy, their face is blah, and before you know it they're smiling and the spirits come out,' he said. 'And what better joy? It's more than money for me. It's just part of what I love.'
He is hopeful for the same amount of enjoyment during the monthly ceilis he holds at the Winona Grange (ceili means 'celebration') and the concerts held at the music room he built on the back of his home in Tualatin. You could almost say he has a passion for encouraging social interaction.
'A ceili is truly a gathering and not just a dance. It's a social experience,' he said. The same goes for the drop-in dance lessons held during the week.
'I make sure [everyone has] nametags on, that way they can get to know each other, meet each other,' he said. 'The drop-in class is that way because every week I don't know who is going to be here, so it's a nice surprise when I see someone I haven't seen in a while.'
Keator's two-hour classes are relatively simple - participants grab a nametag at the front and then follow him along for some step-by-step moves that will later be strung together into more complex dance maneuvers. The music rings through the air, but Keator's strong voice carries out above it with instructions, compliments and critiques - always infused with a bit of humor.
Mary Meyer is a familiar face at the Wednesday night gatherings, with regular attendance since around the time the class formed. The 82-year-old from Tualatin has more than 28 years of dancing experience under her belt, and she said she appreciates the opportunity to continue what she loves.
'In the first place, it's good exercise, it's fun, you get to meet a lot of good people,' Meyer said. One of the things she makes a point of doing is talking to people who look like they are unsure or a little out of place, which coincidentally furthers Keator's goal of everyone getting to know everyone else.
'I make a point of talking to everyone who comes in . . . I like to involve everyone,' she said. 'It's an outing, so it's something different to do. It's just people that you try to get involved.'
Meyer also tries to get her neighbors to come out to the class. On this particular Wednesday, she arrived with two other women she knows from around her neighborhood. Donna Witten is one of Meyer's neighbors who was encouraged to give it a try about a month and a half ago, and she has been coming ever since. She said she likes getting to know the other people there and also the great workout she gets from it.
'I like coming to the grange because it's still old fashioned, country, with a small-town feel,' she said.
Meyer said she likes to encourage everyone of all skill levels to at least give the Irish dances a shot.
'Come and try it, and see if you like it,' she said.
To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Keator and crew will be at PPAA, 618 S.E. Alder St. in Portland, on March 14, with a lesson at 7 p.m. and a dance at 8 p.m. Music will be offered by Dale Russ, Tom Creegan, Mikey Beglan and Bob Soper, and Keator will teach and call the traditional dances. Special guest pipers from the Tualatin Fire and Rescue Pipes and Drum Band will round out the evening.

UT AD Dodds to Retire
DeLoss Dodds, who has been the Athletic Director at the University of Texas for an amazing 32 years, and who is credited with building Longhorn athletics into a financial powerhouse without equal in college sports will retire next summer, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Dodds, who has been the Texas Athletic Director since 1981, guided the Longhorns out of the Southwest Conference, helped create the Big Twelve, and later created the Longhorn Network, which brought $300 million in revenues and a guaranteed national ESPN audience for the university.
Under Dodds, UT athletics have grown into the largest university athletic program in the country, with a $163 million annual budget. UT has become a powerhouse not only in high profile sports like football and men's basketball, but also in women's basketball, and non revenue sports like college baseball, swimming and wrestling.
Texas programs have won 14 national titles and 108 conference championships under Dodds' tenure.
Dodds, who is 76 years old, will retire effective August of 2014.
The timing of Dodds' departure is seen by many as an opportunity for beleaguered football coach Mack Brown to move into the AD job. Calls for Brown's head have grown louder in Austin this football season as the Longhorn team has struggled. Just this week, Longhorn legend Earl Campbell said it was time for Brown to step down as head coach.

"What goes on under a neighbor's quilt is nought to me." -- Robert Newton Peck, from "A Day No Pigs Would Die."
Too bad we don't carry this philosophy today. It seems we think we always have to know what's going on with everyone, that we need to know every intimate detail in the lives of everyone.
I think back to when Bill Clinton was president. I was just as appalled as everyone else by his behavior, but why did we have to know it all? Shouldn't it have been handled, as it is in most families, as a private matter? And poor Chelsea Clinton! Did she really need to have her father's indiscretions plastered over every newspaper, magazine and television in the world? President or not, celebrity or not, unless people's indiscretions are keeping them from doing their jobs, then it's none of our business!
We frequently make snap judgments about the behavior of people without knowing all the facts, and without considering how many times we have done "bad" things ourselves. We all want easy, pat little answers to everything in life, and life just doesn't work that way.
Let me say that cheating is one thing I am not tolerant of; I believe if there's something wrong in a relationship, you take steps to fix it or you end it. But still, who are we to question someone else's motives? We do not know what motivates people. Nothing excuses the behavior, of course, but perhaps there are mitigating circumstances we don't know about, and it's likely none of our business to know about it.
I have, many times in my life, been aware of some gossip which I never let get beyond me and those involved. When situations came to light and I was asked why I'd never spoken, my answer has always been "Because it was nobody's business."
We are a society with no boundaries anymore. We display the innermost secrets of our lives on social networking websites, spew our private matters for public consumption, and even act out in public on disputes that would best be dealt with in private.
Our society has no regard for privacy anymore. Our marriages, career foibles and educational failures are broadcast to the public at large. And for what purpose? So the public's ravenous appetite to live vicariously through others can be fed? As kids today like to say, "Get a life, people!" Stop living through others and live through yourself.
The problem remains that newspapers, tabloids, social networking sites, talk shows and even once-respected news networks now spew more gossip than real news. But they would not be producing a product no one wanted to buy. The fault does not lie with producers and creators, whose job it is to give what the public wants; the fault is our own, our need to window-peep on others in some twisted attempt to believe our lives are better than theirs.

The police department received a second 911 call a few hours later regarding a domestic altercation at the Kieverngels residence. Pruitte spoke with two of the couples friends outside of the residence, who informed him that Kievernagel was inside of the residence and refused to let his wife leave. One of the friends also informed the officer that there was a gun inside of the residence.
When we respond to those calls, one of our jobs is to determine the primary aggressor. The officers decided they had probable cause and arrested Mr. Kievernagel, Chief Scott Bowen said.
Pruitte reported that once inside the residence he found Leslie was very upset and a strong smell of alcoholic beverage coming from David Leslie stated that she went inside the residence and David followed her in and locked the door. Leslie stated that she was going to leave and go to a friends house.
At that point, Leslie told police that Kievernagel began to curse and throw things inside of the house, before physically climbing on top of her to restrain her from leaving.
Kievernagel was transported to booking by LPD Officer Cody Bryan. Officer Craig Brown at the Wilson County Jail said Kievernagel was released on his own recognizance Sunday afternoon.
Kievernagel filed his petition to run for Lebanon City Mayor on Aug. 10.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thanks! First of all, because your parents died intestate (i.e., without a will), any property your parents had would have to be distributed pursuant to the Mississipi intestate succession rules. These rules require that the property be distributed equal to all 5 children...thus you would have to get the other 4 to agree to disclaim their interest in the property. In any case, you need to petition the probate court to appoint you as representative of the estate of the last parent to die. At that point, you have the authority to act on behalf of the estate and you can transfer the property to yourself, if the others disclaim, and to the five of you if they do not. Once ownership of the property is transferred, it can be refinanced at any time.
I hope this has given you the guidance you were seeking. I wish you the best of luck!

Not very encouraging reading. The fact that they talk about there being no micro management and "soloing" makes me think we are just going to be getting another cookie cutter rpg.
I'm sorry to read that they're taking a leaf out of Oblivion's model when it comes to the journal:
03. Is there going to be a journal, and how is it going to be structured?
JL: Yes, there will be a journal that will keep track of the players advances. Important pieces of information will be stored to be read again at any point of time.
The structure will depend on the type of quests the player has accepted: to avoid confusion, main quests will be distinguishable from side quests. They will both be linked with the world map to make orientation as simple as possible. For example, if the player chooses a section in the journal, the game will highlight the corresponding region on the map.
"the corresponding region of the map" could also mean a somewhat vague information. As long as you don´t have an arrow thats leading your way…
But perhaps I´m biased, it´s been ten years now since the last Darke Eye-game was released here in germany and I really hope that this one will be as good as the older titles.
Nope, can't be … might be a good Baldur's Gate-Clone, but won't come even close to the Northland-Triology… I might still buy it, because Baldur's Gate was a good Game and maybe, if they clone it right.. but Drakensang will never ever be as great as the Northland-Triology - these times are gone and will never come back - because you can't sell enough when you create difficult Games nowadays.
If someone has the same opinion, I'm looking for some support. just send me a PM.
I´m happy there is not much micromanagement. I don´t see the fun in feeding my party members once a day.
Well, I will be supporting this game simply because I believe if we don't support the small developers, then we'll continue to get the rubbish we've come to expect from the large money ruled companies we all love to criticise.
When this game was announced I pooped my pants with joy, then the more I found out, the more I got my bladder under control. Now this game cnstipates me.
I'll get it for the reasons Corwin stated, but I'll always be angry at how long it took them to get to the truth of why they made the game RT instead of TB, and also how they describe their combat.
I'm sure this game is far more up my ally than 99% of the games being developed. I understand the reasons behind wanting to have a game that sells to more than 8 people, I just always hoped a real RoA 4 would come out one day. Oh well, at least its a real rpg.
Yeah, I know, we have to compromise because hardly anyone makes TB games anymore cause 'everyone' want fast real time action like in shooters. My opinion: if you want that, go buy a shooter and leave my traditional TB RPG's alone!! But heck, I'm only one customer!! :)
Only consolation about this game is that it's not console-pc port. Glad it's made in Europe, not in US.

Right now I have 18 " Lotus Elite wheels with BFGoodrich g-Force tires that have about 30% left on the tread. I am looking to go back to 16 inchers to get a heftier tire with a heftier tread. If you have the right wheel, whether standard issue Honda or a aftermarket wheel and need to upgrade the tires,as well as the wheels, I want to trade my wheels for your wheels and perhaps we both can be satisfied and get new tires that we both want. If you live the the Southern California area, maybe we can meet somewhere and trade? Because I sure am not gonna ship nothin' no where!!

- - When to start a flea prevention program? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/432977-when-start-flea-prevention-program.html)
When to start a flea prevention program?
When's a good age to start my boy on some sort of flea prevention program? And what do you recommend? Thanks!
We used Frontline in the past, recently I bought some Advantix to use. It was on sale at Fosters and Smith at the Amazon price. More so than fleas I want it to help with ticks, Spring is high time for them. Our dog gets out a good amount, around our property and walks along wood edges. We need to keep on top of it here in WI.
Advantix gets good reviews, easy to buy. I plan to start very soon, at temps just above 40 or so ticks are active.
Chains work wonders with flee prevention. :whistle:
Lol, ApselBear! Yup, that'd work too.
OP, do you need flea prevention? I know it totally depends on your own situation and location, but my vet doesn't recommend adding to the toxins our dogs are dealing with already, and his advice is to treat once there's an issue. My first GSD had flea allergy dermatitis, so that would need a different strategy too. But otherwise, I soak my dog's leather collar and also a bandana in essential oils (neem & lemongrass, mostly) to deter fleas and ticks. So far no fleas and only 2 ticks here.
I will add, in the past I've used Frontline. Sometimes it works alright, but seems like more often than not, the most it does is repel fleas and ticks for only a day or two. I've heard advantix does well, and will probably give it a shot this summer, after I try some Vectra sample that my vet gave me last week.
I am definitely interested in trying out an alternative to chemical treatments such as the following thread's focus.
As far as when, I would think it'd be better to get a jump on the flea season. Prevention sounds better to me than treatment. As soon as it starts averaging above 40F as a previous poster suggested would be a good idea, but flea and tick season still vary from field to field.
X2 ApselBear! I was a bit late when I posted last night. Yea, my boy Hans is scratching every now and then, it might be the grass but we're not sure.

I use Sentinal for heartworm and NexGuard for flea and tick. We used to use Vectra 3d for flea and tick for years, but it's toxicity is very high.. so we switched to a lower rate and so far so good.
I am using Sentinal for heartworm....I plan on also using NexGuard. I do not want to use topical due to having the kids.

Ok, so when would be a good age to start? He's 8 weeks.
I started the heartworm meds that also does fleas at 9 weeks....it was actually a free sample from the vet. I will start on the nexguard as soon as I can since spring is here.

1977 dodge monaco 440 lean burn
hello, i hope that santas helpers are here. im a first time user.
i have a motor from a 1977 dodge monaco. its a 440 and has 32000 miles on it and was running fine when i pulled it from the car. this is a lean burn system motor. the bottom of the carb is made of plastic.
i would like to put this motor in a 1970 plymouth road runner, and use the 1970 wireing. i also have the automatic transmission from the dodge monaco.
the rear gears on the road runner are 3.23
if i through away the dodge carb and distributor and get a holly and electronic ignition will this thing go. how about the cam will it be ok to leave it there or do i need to change that.
this will not be a drag race car. im looking for good gas mileage and long life. this will be my drive around town car.
thank you for your help.
I'm not a Mopar guy, but my Dad worked for Dodge. If I remember correctly, the lean burn system involved the Thermoquad and possibly the timing. When setting the carb, mechanics were supposed to inject propane into the carb, or some such thing. The Thermoquad should make a viable doorstop. Once you get it off there, I would treat it as a "normal" engine.
You will need to get rid of the carb,& distributor because of the lean burn system.
I had a Charger and changed the carb, intake & distributor and put headers on it. Woke it up a little, not much HP on those later motors.
Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
The T/quad is a good carb when set up correctly if your after power, performance, and economy. A lot of guys dont like the T/quad because there just not familiar with them. I've had several on my RVs and have been happy with them. If you go with a stock Dodge dist then you will need the wiring and control module that comes out of the donor car.
The only part of the lean burn on the carb is the throttle position transducer and it is external. The plastic fuel bowls did tend to warp on those but they aren't a bad carb. One thing I like about them is you can easily adjust the secondary metering rods.
I had a good friend with a 71 340 Duster that had the original T-quad and it could whup anything around. It made more than one 440 six pack look like it was backing up, 454 chevelles too.
Those lean burn systems were a bugger to troubleshoot tho, as the factory proceedure would have you change the box and retest during the proceedure. Those boxes were expensive and the dealer always had to order them in. I fixed more than one with a points distributor. I would T off the vacuum line in a hidden place and leave all the old lean burn on there. I never had one fail an emissions test as they never looked inside the dist.

I have a Sig P220 Elite Stainless on layaway now. It's DA/SA and both modes are very well executed. Good choice!
I'm another new to handguns / new to this forum member. I have a good amount of experience shooting (shotguns & rifles), but very little experience with handguns. I primarily want to do target shooting and get as good as I can possibly get. I also want to purchase a great quality and beautifully made hand gun from the "get go". I was looking at the Sig Sauer 220 elite carry series. The initial choice is between the standard 220 carry elite which is DA/SA and the SAO. My local gun shop said that he didn't recommend the SAO because "it limits your shooting versatility".
I was looking for opinions regarding this issue.
Also, I'm also looking for good used/CPO Sig Sauers - any recommendations?
I have a Sig P220 Elite Stainless on layaway now. It's DA/SA and both modes are very well executed. Good choice!
First, just want to say welcome to the forum, there is a lot of information here.
Second, I have to ask, have you tried any firearms at the range? If not, lets talk. The Sig P220 is a great handgun, I own one. However, it is a .45ACP caliber. If you've never fired a .45, find a range that rents handguns and go fire one first.
Why? Well for one, the .45 does have a good amount of recoil to it. Especially when you're talking a smaller frame like the carry series. Learning to shoot a handgun by diving into a larger caliber like that is like handing someone a 7mm Rem Magnum rifle and teaching them to shoot with that. They can get a few rounds off, sure, but for someone not used to that type of recoil it can teach a whole bunch of bad habits straight from the get go.
Personally I would start off with a good .22 or 9mm, less recoil to start with, but great calibers and still some great firearms to start off with.
.22 recommendations include:
Browning Buckmark
Ruger MkIII
Sig Mosquito [new only, the original run had issues with the slides]
Beretta Neos
Popular 9mm choices:
Beretta M9 or 92FS
Sig P229
Springfield Arms XD9
Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm
Ruger P89
As far as DA/SA vs SAO, I'd prefer a DA/SA
Welcome to the forums, have you considered a polymer frame Sig. There second to none in quality,looks and reliability. Not to mention a brand new 2022 can be had for @ $475.
For a range only gun I would buy a SAO due to the crisp tight lighter pull trigger. For protection I prefer DA/SA. I have shot a few Sigs and liked them all however I have never shot the 220 so thats about as much advice as I can give on the subject.
Great forum!
Thanks to all of you for your opinions, recommendations, and support.
I was able to look at some more Sigs yesterday and since this is a first handgun, the recommendation to start off with something that is a smaller caliber was right on. The recoil of the .45 is an important consideration in regards to developing bad habits at the beginning of my learning curve.
I'm now leaning towards the Sig P229. I like the idea of SAO (since it's primary use would be target shooting), but (I think) it is a better choice to get up to speed on the 9mm of the P229 and learn on the DA/SA trigger.
I also like the P226, and it would probably be a better choice since the sights are her apart, but I wanted a slightly smaller handgun (just personal preference). I'm really looking forward to increasing my skills and knowledge.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
Welcome from Big Sky Country.
Congrats on your new purchase.

Thursday Jace got to take treats to school and celebrate his 4th birthday. We made spiders. They were from the Kraft website and they were actually called "frogs" on there, but we called them spiders and I think they look more like spiders than frogs. They are super easy to make.
What you need:
Mini pretzels
Oreo cookies
White icing
Take 2 mini pretzels and put them side by side. Ice the bottom of 1 oreo cookie and put on top of the pretzels. Then ice the bottoms of 2 M&M's and stick on for eyes. Wa-la! Yep that's it, that easy. Jace then decorated the container with Spiderman stickers. He thought this was just the coolest treat.
Friday we took Jace to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. He really enjoyed it! Saturday was so nice out and made the perfect day for Jace's 4th birthday party. He had a batman party, look how cool he is! Don't ask what he was doing in this 1st picture, he's crazy!
I was so sad because my brother, sister-in-law and baby Emme couldn't make it. Little Emme got hand foot and mouth disease a few days before and she had a bad rash all over her. I 've never heard of this before but apparently it's pretty common and is VERY contagious! We were bummed about that, but they are coming into town this weekend so we will get to see them then!
A couple weeks ago when they were home baby Emme had on her maryjane socks and we put them on Grady. Wouldn't he make a cute little girl, just look at those little feet! Too funny! He also loves shoes. If any of our shoes are laying around he always puts them on! Shhhh don't tell my husband that he's like his momma and LOVES shoes, hey it's o.k. to be in touch with your feminine side - right? :)
So you all know that we have officially moved into my parent's basement. Well I don't know about you but I HATE spiders. Well what do you usually find in basements? That's right- SPIDERS! Don't get me wrong, their basement is very nice and clean...but obviously that doesn't matter... look what came to visit.....
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Talk about scary....I'm just so glad that it didn't crawl over me while I was sleeping, can you imagine waking up to that?!?
Well we are going to go take a walk. I need to get my fat butt into shape!!! Do any of you have any great workout routines that you stick with? I would love to hear them if they don't require a gym!

FOX has picked up six additional episodes of BEN AND KATE and nine additional episodes of THE MINDY PROJECT, bringing both new Tuesday night comedies to full-season orders, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.
"BEN AND KATE and THE MINDY PROJECT have everything we want to stand for in comedy: smart writing, hugely appealing casts and comedy that feels contemporary and real - which is why we're confident they will continue to build on what is already an appointment comedy night for young, influential audiences on Tuesdays," said Reilly.
In tomorrow's all-new episode of BEN AND KATE, "The Fox Hunt," airing Tuesday, Oct. 9, (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, BEN (Nat Faxon) and KATE (Dakota Johnson) discover an unopened envelope from 15 years ago that contains the yearly scavenger hunt their dad used to organize for them when they were kids. The find prompts them to complete the unfinished hunt, with BJ (Lucy Punch), TOMMY (Echo Kellum) and MADDIE's (Maggie Elizabeth Jones) help, but raises old issues of sibling rivalry. Meanwhile, the scavenger hunt takes an unexpected detour when BJ enlists Kate to help get her belongings back from an old fling.
In the all-new "In The Club" episode of THE MINDY PROJECT airing Tuesday, Oct. 9 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT), SHAUNA (Amanda Setton) takes the office to the hottest nightclub in town, where MINDY (Mindy Kaling) meets an unlikely suitor (guest star Tommy Dewey) who works as a lawyer for the New York Knicks. Meanwhile, DANNY (Chris Messina) hits the dance floor, JEREMY (Ed Weeks) hits on a bride-to-be, and MORGAN (guest star Ike Barinholtz) unexpectedly makes some extra cash as the club's bathroom attendant. Season to date, THE MINDY PROJECT is the No. 1 new comedy among Adults 18-34.
From writer/executive producer Dana Fox (NEW GIRL, "What Happens in Vegas") and executive producer/director Jake Kasdan (NEW GIRL, "Bad Teacher"), BEN AND KATE follows a pair of odd-couple siblings – one, an overly responsible single mom; the other, an exuberant dreamer – and their friends as they push each other out of their comfort zones and into real life.
BEN AND KATE is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Chernin Entertainment. The series is created and written by Dana Fox. The series is executive-produced by Fox, Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope and Jake Kasdan. "Like" BEN AND KATE on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/BenandKate.

No doubt if terms are successfully negotiated and he signs a deal with Benfica or another team, one of his first statements will pertain to being shackled and stifled in MLS, his creativity smothered, his talents squandered. Such a perception is perfectly understandable from a spoon-fed prodigy handed a half-million-dollar salary and lucrative endorsements at age 14, and anointed as great by those people who represent him and the league that embraced him. The perception is also perfectly wrong.
Adu has advanced as far as he has because of, not in spite of, MLS, which despite its deficiencies has been graced by some outstanding playmakers: Carlos Valderrama, Marco Etcheverry, Peter Nowak, Dwayne DeRosario, Preki, Amado Guevara and Christian Gomez, to name a few. Has at any point in his career Adu come close to the performances of those men? The emphasis is on men, for what he's done against teenagers in FIFA world championships isn't the same thing.
Adu believes MLS has held him back, first with D.C. United and then with Real Salt Lake, by snubbing his desire to play the central midfield maestro position he dearly covets and which he filled so well for the USA in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The fact is, compared to most MLS starters in the attacking and playmaking positions, Adu hasn't been good enough, regardless of position.
At the start of the season, some D.C. fans may have taken Freddy over Fred. How about now? As poor as RSL has been this season, is there any reason to believe Adu could make it much better?
Some very good players haven't been named to the all-star teams or Best XI since Adu entered the league in 2004. Adu's performances haven't surpassed more than one or two of them, if that many. He's done really well, exceptionally well, for a kid thrown into a tough, competitive league, and it's admirable for him to believe in a different position he'd have excelled. Admirable, but not realistic.
In some sense, he might be a better player had he gone overseas earlier. His skills would be sharper, his fundamentals sounder, his tactical acumen more attuned, if he and two dozen other promising youngsters were berated and cajoled daily by coaches smoothing away rough spots. And he'd have spent most of his time with players of his own age, an aspect of growing up and maturing he has regretfully missed in the predominantly adult world of MLS.
But those young players wouldn't have been his peers, guys like Danny Szetela and others with whom he lived at Bradenton and was reunited at the U-20 World Cup. By opting for MLS, Adu chose to take the play and the pay, up front.
With a half-million per year and the prospect of regular playing time in MLS on the table, would Adu really have preferred to spend four years in Europe on youth and reserve teams, dueling every day against other aspirants for the No. 10 shirt, fending off hard cases eager to test the overhyped American, waiting for the 18th birthday -- an eternity away at age 14! -- that would make him eligible for first-team selection?
Adu is a rare talent, no question, and a move to Europe should enhance his innate abilities. Yet with a big club on the big stage, practical and pragmatic aspects of professional play must also be served. Much of what he still must learn stems from melding glamor with grit, and serving club as well as self.

Couldn't you just set your hand held light down pointed at the intruder's fallen body?
This is a discussion on A random thought (about the use of wml on handguns) within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; best posed to our resident btdt guys, instructors, gurus and gunfightin' professors. First, and foremost, I AM NOT AN INSTRUCTOR, nor am I a btdt ...
best posed to our resident btdt guys, instructors, gurus and gunfightin' professors.
First, and foremost, I AM NOT AN INSTRUCTOR, nor am I a btdt guy, hell, i aint even a good shot.
In reviewing some posts concerning the pros and cons, or validity vs hype of wml on handguns for the average Joe, and while walking thru some 'what ifs' and scenarios around my home, a thought occurred to me (doesn't happen often, so this will be my electronic history of it having happened).
I train to use a hand held light, as well as practicing techniques accepted for wml's as my house has a Surefire in just about every room, and my dedicated house pistols have wmls. Should the power or just the lights be out of service, (happens here quite a bit, what with the hurricanes and unnamed storms and all), and should I have to directly confront an intruder or be confronted by one as the case may be, I will be using my hand held light first. Now, let's say the confrontation has ended w/ the intruder face down, either haven taken a hit, or just in compliance. This point seems to be a good time to utilize the wml. I wont be 'candeling' the intruder as now he's down but potentially not out, I want to keep my muzzle AND my light on him. I also now need to be on the phone w 911, and it will be much easier to do w/out juggling a hand held light.
So, at this point, I'm covering said intruder w gun and wml, in one hand (shaking like crazy, I imagine), and the other hand is now free to operate the phone, cell or pots line if its still in service.
Could this possibly be a feasible reason or arguement for the wml- the aftermath. Seems all the past discussions have centered around room clearing (aint doin it if I dont hafta), or using the wml as the primary. I like options, and having the wml as a second light seems like a good option. Having the option to keep a light and muzzle on the downed intruder, and still have a free hand for the phone seems like a good option, too.
For all the instructors and other qualified folks: how do you teach light techniques in the given scenario? Like I said, most discussions deal w the actions up to the confrontation. What about after?
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Couldn't you just set your hand held light down pointed at the intruder's fallen body?
Suppose you could.
Doesn't leave you many options IF you or especially he gets 'dynamic'. If he suddenly bolts, and your light cant follow, it may be difficult to place accurate fire.
But, your point about keeping things simple is well recieved.
Well it only took me about a third of the o.p. to figure out what a wml is, and i still don't know what a btdt guy is. So no help from me.
btdt = been there done that
As for your idea of a light for the aftermath, I like the way you are thinking. I personally don't have a light on any of my handguns because I use a handgun when I am looking for what caused that "bump in the night". I use a wml, and a longarm in my home if I know the "bump in the night" was made by an unauthorized source.
Your idea of using the wml once you know you have a threat is a good one. Just make sure that you don't use the wml for unknown "possible" threats. It could just be Grandma raiding the cookie jar after getting up to go to the bathroom. Grandma doesn't like having guns pointed at her, and it does tend to strain family relations.
yeah, situate your light on the target while dialing and putting phone on speaker?
Well, my light/laser attached to the Glock pretty much determines nobody is going to see a gun pointed at them......they gonna be blinded by white light or a red dot, or both simultaneously, and if they're a friendly raider, they get to ask about it ten minutes later after they've recovered. For the un-welcomed raiders of the cookie jar, the blindness will be followed by loud bangs, and then pain, and so forth. I use my wml as primary, and only. The pistol and light are always pointed in the same direction.Your idea of using the wml once you know you have a threat is a good one.

Can we stop with the three letter acronyms?
It's rampant in the government, somehow a MRE is better than chow.
A bomb is now an IED. The bad guy fires a RPG.
Let's CTC............................cut the crap. and return to English. Please.
There, I asked nicely.
This is a difficult subject, everyone has their own opinion. I was always taught that when I entered a dark building at night, I had my weapon in my right hand, and my flashlight in my left. Theory was that a 'bad' guy might fire at the light. If your light was off-center of your body lessened the chance of being hit in the body. If you use a wml (weapon mounted light), you might get hit in the head or chest. I still use that philosophy today.
However, I have been wrong in the past. I remember in 1957 I might have been wrong, but not really sure.

"Can we stop with the three letter acronyms?"-Guns and more
"btdt" is Four Letters.
Probably not. It was poor form on my part for not listing the full definition of the acronyms at least once at the first of the post. And, I addressed an apology to the poster that listed my fault. But, acronyms too readily become a way to save a few strokes while typing. Just like contractions, or worse, texting shortcuts (ie, b4, bcuz), they become part of our lingo.
The beauty is, once you know them, they are pretty handy in forums such as this. So no, I wont stop using them, neither I bet, will most who post here. But, I will make an effort to fully define an acronym where I use one in the future.
glad to hear you weren't really wrong.
Posting this was to get opinions. I dont truly believe there's a 100% right/wrong answere. Just an attempt to relay a thought that happened upon me while walking thru some things.
aplogies, Sir.
The acronyms I'm afraid have become too easy to type since they become rather ingrained after frequenting sights such as these. The proper etiquete (sp?) would have been to list their extended definitions, and for not doing so I apologize. Relaying my thoughts is hard enough for others to understand, I shouldn't leave anything to chance.
I'll continue to use common acronyms (well, at least common to these sites), but will attempt to always list the full definition in the first of the post as well.
I think a WML is a good idea. The one I use sticks out from the muzzle so the weapon is not really visable to the BG in low light conditions. I know if I fire it may get dirty but Its for a house sweep not for the range.
The light + my night sites make a really good pair. I can get a sight picture with the dots instead of point shooting and hoping for the best.
There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

honest, i think it is butt-ugly...
What a joke!! Man, I worked at a Yamaha dealership that started to carry Hyosung...one day the rep brought by one of their "sportbike" models and told me to take it for a ride and tell him how I liked it. Rode it and told him it was way worse than a Ninja 250 much to his dismay. God I hate these knockoff brands!!
But that's just my $.02 for what it's worth.

It looks like just what it is......a cheap knockoff of a Husky. And I'm willing to bet my DRZ that it doesn't have the performance to back up the looks either. I know a guy who owns a UM motors sumo setup and has had a lot of trouble out of it. I've waited over two years so I could afford something reliable from a good company....I could've cheaped out at any time and bought something like this. But as I've gotten older I've realized that the old saying "you get what you pay for" really does hold true in most things.

Crush it! We give enough money to China. F' them and their b-rate products. Dont support them and buy their low end crap that includes UM stuff.
if they can deliver on a claimed weight of 260lbs dry and 50bhp it would be one of the better street sumo's available. problably won't be all that cheap I would bet still at least six grand. I am pretty shure they are korean. We just aren't getting any help from japan on getting a decent dual sport or sumo.
It a Korean bike. I'm not here to sell, stand up for, or generally defend Hyosung, but...I did have one of their 250cc sport bikes and it was pretty fun for what it was. I paid 3900 brand new and put 2k on before I sold it. BTW Hyosung has beed around for over 50 years and they actually assemble some of Suzuki's bikes....not the SS or MX bikes but some of the others.
I'm not telling everyone to go out and buy a Hyosung, but this thing will prob retail for under 5k and it's a 450SM. Might be the right fit for a Newb.
that would make for a sweet lake jumper!!!!!!!!!!
Dirtyhucker Photography Website CLICKY HERE!!
Im not saying their good or bad but long ago everyone said the exact same thing about Japanese products. Just somthing to consider.
The Hyosung, according to their press release, is 265lbs, has a 6-speed, fuel injection, and makes 50hp. It's the DRZ that's looking pretty cheap in comparison to me.
Even if you hate the Hyosung, you have to love the competition. Suzuki will never get off their lazy asses and update the DRZ SM without competitive pressure. They've proven that for many years.
Hyosung introduced the RX450SM at the trade shows a year ago and said it would be a 2008 model. Since then it has completely disappeared. The local dealer doesn't know anything about the bike or when it will be for sale, and the bike isn't shown on Hyosungusa.com. I was convinced it was vaporware, but if Motorcyclist has tested it I can't wait to read the article.
What I was getting at was the bodywork looks like a Husky. If they can back up the preliminary numbers then good for them. I agree that more bikes on the market will force other manufacturers to take notice, and can only help get the sport more recognition. I wansn't meaning to compare the two bikes performance wise.....there's no replacement for displacement. The DRZ has never been called fast, but it's known to be bulletproof.

I looked up the hyosung ATV online(450cc) and its a hair slower then a 660R raptor. So i'd bet its around 40hp. I wouldnt be suprised if the same motor would be used in this bike. Not the best, but plenty of power to hang with anything in its price range.
IMO anyone who groups hyosung in the "knock off market" is just plain ignorant on the subject. I've researched their sportbikes and i've heard great things. I might even buy a 650 in a few weeks for commuting.
Yep. I wouldnt knock Hyosung. My chick has got the GT650R road bike and I reckon its pretty good value for money. Its not far off my Husky 570 (bored to a 600 with other goodies) in a straight line, she is about 50 kg and I am 100 kg however. But over all it looks alright, goes good and has so far been reliable.
I thought hyosing or whatever uses ALOT of suzuki parts. The front end looks like that future DRZ that I saw a picture on here
Sent this to the Hyosung folks today (email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com)
Maybe if more of us do something similar, we could accelerate the release?
Hyosung Folks,
I am very interested in any information you can give me about the RX450SM. I live in California so I hope that this bike will become available there. I found this thread where one of the posters mentions a November 2008 release date; is this true? I have copied Mr. Laugs as I saw him post in another thread regarding this bike.
From what I gather, the prototype shown late last year was a 265lb dry supermotard with a fuel-injected 450cc engine putting out ~50hp (the same engine in your previously released TE450S ATV). It had USD forks, brembo brakes, wave rotors, and a six speed transmission. Will the production version match these specifications? I can state with high certainty that such a bike for ~$5K would sell very well here as there is currently nothing from the Japanese manufacturers sold in the USA that is similar. There are a few european bikes that would line up well with this, but they are a few thousand dollars more and (hopefully) far less reliable; even so, those bikes (KTM EXC/SM series, Husqvarna SM series, and Aprilia SXV series) all sell fairly well. The carburated Suzuki DRZ400SM and Brand new EFI Yamaha WR250X sell very well, though they are ~$6K and have but 30 hp.
I and many others would be interested in purchasing the RX450SM. I have come across many laments wishing for bigger, more reliable EFI Motards and if you have a bike to fit that niche, you should be selling it here.
So please, please, please sell the RX450SM in the USA (specifically California).
Distilled Version:
When will this bike be here?
Will it be similar to the prototype?
What is the targeted price point?
Please, please, please.

You people are a piece of work!
Funny........Everyone was knocking the reliability of the 200 also with claims that a friends distant relative owned one and it nothing but trouble but in reality there have been only good things being said from people who actually bought them.
You people bitch because there are not enough turn key SM bikes on the market and Now people are knocking the reliability of a bike that has net even been released!
Sometimes I wonder why a company would even want to produce a bike for such a bitchy crowd!
Hyosung please bring the bike to production!
I was wondering too where this bike went. I've also heard pretty good things about their sportsbikes.

Also found this spec list:

A DRZ cheap by comparison? Like a Honda is "cheap" compared to a Yugo? Hardly. DRZs are proven bullet proof bikes. Sure can't say that for Hyosung.I don't see Hyosung as competition for the DRZ anymore than I see Schuck's dirt bikes as competitions for RMZ, CRFs etc. They are cheap junk that's not even in the same league performance and quality-wise. Their street bikes are junk, why would the SM be any different?Even if you hate the Hyosung, you have to love the competition. Suzuki will never get off their lazy asses and update the DRZ SM without competitive pressure. They've proven that for many years.
The only first hand experience I have with these bikes is.....
I was at the New York bike show last year with a couple of buddies, one of them happens to be my ins. agent, he sat on one of the sportbike models (dont know what model - didnt care) and starts joking around. He started squeezing the front brake lever and said " hey ya think I can make this thing blow a seal or something " when the lever broke right off the master cylinder, I mean not just the lever but the actuall casting of the master. I thought I was gonna piss my pants, but when we walked away , the reality set in , I can only imagine if that happened in panic situation !!!!!!!
So I think for myself, I'll be sticking with the higher priced "PROVEN" models and not taking chances with my safety. I'm pretty good at being dangerous all on my own !!!!!!!!
1983 HONDA CB1100F (suz inv frt end ,whls & brks)
Too many previous rigs to list - I think I'm gettin old
the force he put on that brake lever in a stopped position would have sent the bike end over end in a "panic situation".... you dont realize just how little force your typical brake lever requires to pick a bike up into a stoppie.
honestly, i could probably at least BEND the typical brake lever just squeezing on it at a stop position.
but even so, a casting breaking - not so good.
its crap..yes...
but you said the same thing about the Japanese after WW2. Cheap knock off crap...Now look at the Japanese....
You'll see what happens in a few years....when the Chinese start flying to Mars, and living in the center of the earth
same think applies to S.Korea and Co

Recall how poorly built and utterly craptastic Hyundais were when they first hit the market. Now look at them, or hell...even KIA makes a pretty decent car these days. Now, I don't own either, or desire one, but I have to recognize the strides they have made. People laughed at Japanese products, now they name their children after them. It is only a matter of time until these bikes are on par with Japanese products. The South Koreans are quite capable.

screw that thing, i had one.. it took a huge SHIT.. fuck hyosung right in the ass
Tell that to Brad Pitman-Armstrong, #426.
He won the WERA West LW Twin Supersport EX series in 2007 on a Hyosung 650.
Oh yeah, he also placed 2nd in the LW Superbike with the same machine against modified competition.
BTW, he also placed 4th in Formula 2 on the same machine, again, against heavily modified machines while he was running a stock Hyosung.
Or, you could tell that to Matt Kellerman, #63, who placed 2nd in the 2007 CCS Southwest Thunderbike series.
He also placed 3rd in the Light Weight Superbike for the season.
I hate to be the one to tell you but you don't win championships, or place highly, on "cheap" pieces of "junk". A racebike has to be reliable first and fast second. Especially one that runs multiple classes on the same day, as was the case with Brad & Matt's bikes.
If you care to search you will find that there are Hyosungs being run in other WERA & CCS regions with success.
It would appear that the facts disprove your theory that Hyosungs are "cheap" & "junk".

The Suspension Answer-man:
You all laugh because I'm different.
I laugh because you're all the same.
the guy probably works far from motos, deep in statistics
In statistics, an outlier is an observation that is numerically distant from the rest of the data. Statistics derived from data sets that include outliers may be misleading. For example, if one is calculating the average temperature of 10 objects in a room, and most are between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, but an oven is at 350 °C, the median of the data may be 23 but the mean temperature will be 55. In this case, the median better reflects the temperature of a randomly sampled object than the mean. Outliers may be indicative of data points that belong to a different population than the rest of the sample set.
In most larger samplings of data, some data points will be further away from the sample mean than what is deemed reasonable. This can be due to incidental systematic error or flaws in the theory that generated an assumed family of probability distributions, or it can simply be the case that some observations happen to be a long way from the center of the data. Outlier points can therefore indicate faulty data, erroneous procedures, or areas where a certain theory might not be valid. However, a small number of outliers not due to any anomalous condition is to be expected in large samples.
"she's so ugly a sniper wouldn't take her out"
I emailed Allen Zino of Hyosung Motors USA about availability of the RX450SM. Got a reply this morning, "Hopefully toward the end of this year."
Hopefully he's right.
Well, seeing as this issue has been beaten into the ground.... I'll go ahead and chime in...
I can't say if Hyosung makes a decent, reliable, powerful, or fast bike. I have never seen one. What I do know, from what I have read, is that they are vast improvement from such delightful brands as SunL, Yamoto, and alike. These are better than the bikes you find at you local Pep Boys, but they aren't quite in the same class as the Jap bikes. That is reflected in the price. I know Hyosung built engines, and other components under contract for Suzuki for years. So from a manufacturing standpoint, few could argue that they don't have the ability to make quality components. (willingness is a whole other issue). People laughed at Kia and Hyuandi when they first came ashore in the US. While there were some initial issues with those brands, they have proven themselves to be decent vehicles. One could only imagine that Hyosung's first steps will be shaky, but in time I am confident that they will be fine.
Now, am I gonna be the lab rat that buys one? No. Would I in 5 years or so if they are able to carve out a foot hold in the cut throat US marketplace? Yes!
I applaud Hyosung for their efforts. If nothing else, the release of this bike would be the 2nd best Asian built supermoto on the US market....by virtue of there only being two.....

looks like he edited the first post, but the basic premise is that he purchased a GT250r and has had great luck with it.
I've been looking into buying one for awhile and have followed the results of various owners. Most have a good experience with little-to no bugs.
whats going to be funny is when the ones of you bashing it get smoked by one in the canyon's.... hell, I would buy it way before i would ever consider a drz & the relibility of the hyosung can't be no worse that an ape.
You can visually LOOK at a Hyosung, and it's obviously not built with the same quality as Honda, Suzuki, etc. Is it Schucks' level of junk? Of course not. But on par with the Big Four? Hardly.
Korean vehicles seem great as far as flat out value and reliability goes...but...dang...their styling ain't for squat! They just look ..well..cheap.

If you are struggling in a close relationship with conflict, distance and/or withdrawal, or feel that there is no longer an emotional connection with your partner or other family members, it can be helpful to work with a therapist. It is not just as easy as "how you communicate." Therapy can help you take an objective look at emotional, thinking and behavioral patterns that perhaps no longer are effective and test new methods of interaction to improve your relationships. This can be applied in your relationships with your spouse, your children, parents and friends, neighbors and work colleagues.

This Is the Rope: A Story from the Great Migration, by Jacqueline Woodson, illustrated by James Ransome
Celebrated poet and writer Jacqueline Woodson's latest picture book displays her trademark lyricism and eloquence as she spins a compelling, generation-spanning yarn. The story follows a young African American couple who move from the Deep South to Brooklyn in the 1970s, seeking a better life. The motif of a rope weaves the anecdotes together as we follow the young family through the years. The rope that they used to tie their belongings to the top of the car for the long drive becomes a laundry rope for their baby's diapers, and then a string to pull a toy duck, and then a jump rope, and so on up through the present. When the book ends, that young couple, now elderly, sits on their Brooklyn stoop watching their granddaughter jump rope and sing, a new generation tied to the past and looking to the future. It's a wonderful celebration of family, history, and love, and parents can use it to begin more serious discussions about race, tolerance, and immigration. (ages 4-8)
This Is Our House, by Hyewon Yum
Coincidentally, this lovely book shares a great deal with This is the Rope. Both books begin each spread with the phrase "This is the…" Both tell the story of three generations living in the same home: in both cases, a charming Brooklyn (or Brooklyn lookalike) brownstone. Both start with a couple moving into their new home and end with an image of the extended family in front of the house, in the present day. Both are poignant and may cause you, the parent reading aloud, to surreptitiously wipe away a tear. This Is Our House, though, exudes a cozier vibe, without a serious subtext. Gentle watercolors depict a baby learning to walk, a favorite tree blooming, kids running down a stairway lined with family photos, and other sweet moments in the family's history. (ages 4-8)
Inside Outside, by Lizi Boyd
This is a small gem, a wordless book with so much charming detail on each page that you and your child will want to read it several times through right off the bat. On alternating spreads, we see the inside of a home with a young boy busily engaged in some task, and then the yard outside his windows. Small holes in the paper give us a peek of what's outside, then shine a light on the other side after turn the page. There are things to watch for and follow, such as the two mice who scamper through each picture, and the turtle the boy brings home and who becomes a fixture in the house from then on. The overall look and feel of the book—strong black lines and stylized images on brown paper—is striking, simple, and modern, while the homey depictions of a happy life are comforting. Even without words, there is much to enjoy here. (ages 3-7)
Locomotive, by Brian Floca
Overall, this is a stunning book. The oversized pages feature detailed watercolors and lyrical text that bring to life the experience of riding the rails from Omaha to Sacramento in the 1860s, just after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The text does not rhyme, but the author skillfully speeds up or slows down the pace to mimic the train's progress. The placement of the words on the page, as well as their size, also give the readers cues on conducting an exciting, dynamic reading. Pint-sized train enthusiasts will want to pore over the amazing illustrations; older ones will be interested in the mechanics of the engines, the geography and topography, and the logistics of the journey. If the book has one flaw, it is that the text is on the long side and at times leans to the poetic and lofty; adults may find themselves shortening it for younger listeners. (ages 4-8)
Violet Mackerel's Remarkable Recovery, by Anna Branford, illustrated by Elanna Allen
Violet is the spunky star of a new chapter book series from an Australian writer. This second book in the series revolves around Violet's stay in the hospital to have her tonsils removed, and her later efforts to stay in touch with an elderly woman she met there. Like many other chapter book heroines, Violet is a bit brass and sassy, with a million projects and an imagination on hyperdrive, but always sweet and sympathetic in the end.
