-Perfect family retreat with 5 bedrooms offering plenty of space for guests and nanny or caretaker.
-Beautiful, serene location in Southern Vermont, close to skiing yet complete privacy in a beautiful natural setting. Comfortable, lodge-style retreat with large pond and swimming dock on beautifully manicured grounds in a classic rural Vermont setting between the towns of Weston and Londonderry.
-Nestled in the forest at the end of a quiet dead-end road, Lake House is set in beautiful natural surroundings providing the ultimate in peace and privacy. No shops or commercial development. Lake House is a large, lodge-style home built to the highest standards that blends luxury and comfort with immediate access to nature and the outdoors.
The swimming in the lake is superb and one of the main attractions in summer. The lake is a very large, (1 acre plus) manmade pond with a small manmade beach, a diving platform and clear water that is spring fed ( two feeder ponds ensure the water flowing into the pond is clean). The bottom is sand.The depth averages around 14 ft and in the middle, the deepest part, is 16 ft. In short, swimming here is a delight and the house is called Lake house because the pond is a prominent feature of the property. Our kids love to spend their whole day around the lake
Nearby is the quaint village of Weston with the renowned 'Vermont Country Store' and Weston Playhouse theater. City of Manchester for shopping 20 minutes away. Conveniently located in the foothills of the Green Mountains National Forest between Stratton and Okemo (20 minutes) and with Bromley (10 minutes) and Magic Mountain (just 5) minutes around the corner, Lake House is the perfect family retreat. No traffic, no noise, just peace and quiet.
Some of Vermont's best restaurants like The Mill Tavern in Londonderry and Johnny's Seesaw in Peru are within 5-10 minutes. Cross-country ski from your doorstep into the natural forest across the road, or start from the best cross-country skiing in Southern Vermont at nearby Greendale Rd.
Once you settle down in front of the huge fireplace in the warm, comfortable living room, or down at the private beach, life leaves nothing else to be desired.
The superbly crafted timber frame house with inviting interiors provides the ultimate in comfort and overlooks the 1-acre lake after which the house is named. Relax on one of the terraces or the private beach by the lake, or walk the beautiful grounds. This fabulous property will fill you with a sense of peace and quiet.

This is the easiest review I have ever written. We rented the house for one week with three families. There were 6 adults and 5 children aged between 10 and 15. We loved this home. The house was very clean and well cared for. In fact the house is so nice I don't even think the photos do it justice. Swimming in the lake was great and is probably the nicest lake (for swimming) I have ever been in. Very clean, nice bottom, clear water. The house had plenty of room for all the families with two full master bedrooms. Plenty of bathrooms. We also liked the ice machine in the kitchen. The fridge in the garage was great because we could keep some drinks out there. Just perfect. Luisa checked on us and ensured that we had everything we needed. She really cared about making our trip perfect!!!!
We loved the area. Since it was summer we spent most of our time swimming in the lake. When we ventured out we enjoyed seeing Weston. Check out the playhouse there. We also toured Hildene and the Coolidge Homestead. These were great trips you may want to check out if you are in the area. We also enjoyed the adventure courses at Bromley ski area. Great summer activity. I did some cycling in the area and enjoyed that too. But be aware that the house is on a gravel/dirt road and some of the roads are very hilly. Not really suited for cycling by younger kids.
You will love this place. Trust me.
My family spent a week at the Lake House and had such a wonderful and relaxing time! There is so much space throughout this tastefully appointed home. The kitchen had everything we needed for large dinners and we used the outdoor grill as well. The kids enjoyed the lake and the adults enjoyed the lounge chairs and stone deck off of the kitchen -- the perfect spot for coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. Luisa is very hands on and approachable, making sure that we were happy and content. I highly recommend this great and tranquil home for your next vacation!!!
The Lake House is a beautiful home in a perfect setting. Our family of five loved our stay here, and the kids especially loved boating and swimming in the lovely small lake. The home is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well outfitted for cooking when eating in, and the setting is wonderfully serene. Luisa made sure everything was taken care of for our stay, and we felt like we were staying in the home of a friend. We highly recommend this great getaway.
This is a very high end property. The house is very large and beautifully decorated throughout. The grounds are also magnificent. Our 3 kids had great fun splashing around in the 1 acre pond which was very clean. They also had great fun in the spacious green area (too big to call a garden) which is at the other side of the house where they could play soccer, whiffle ball etc.
When we all needed to relax, the kids played board games or watched TV in the finished basement which has a 12 seater couch - great for watching a family movie. The balcony is also a great place to eat or just to sit and take in the magnificent scenery around the property.
Luisa (the owner) was very helpful and informative before our trip and checked in via e-mail a couple of times during our stay to ensure we were all having a good time which was appreciated.
We had a great vacation and would highly recommend this house - thanks Luisa
The "yellow house" was an amazing comfortable place for our family to stay. We enjoyed the pond, the wonderful view and most of all having dinners together around the large dining table. The separate bedrooms all with bathrooms gave privacy and quiet to family who slept later or went to bed earlier- thank you for making our family get together so special! We can't wait to do it again!
We had a wonderful labor day weekend at the beautiful lake house in a very picturesque location in mountains of Vermont. My wife was impressed with the lake front view from the master bedroom and "old fashioned' bathtub.
The home was quite comfortable and provided us with all the amenities of home, including an outdoor grill.
We spent the evenings going for walks around the lake and playing the old fashion board games in the family room on the lower level.
We enjoyed the lake and the many frogs and bird species in the area. We went to the local supermarket where they had farm fresh corn.
There is nothing not to love about this home. The owners have done an excellent job in maintaining the property. The lovely wooden floors, the larger ice maker in the kitchen with the dedicated "hot water" faucet (created a cup of hot tea in seconds), the paired rocking chairs, the old country wooden table and the abundance of windows with views of the lake are just some of the things that made this a great way to close the summer.
Thank you for sharing your "gem" with my family. We have no reservations in recommending this property to our family and friends.

On CNN's State of the Union, during an interview with LaHood, host Candy Crowley committed a "random act of journalism." Crowley pointed out that even if the sequester kicks in, the budget in this area would still be more than it was in 2008 when the "planes were running just fine," and there's even less traffic now. LaHood, however, is still trying to sell the "long delays at the airport" post-sequester air travel apocalypse.

Its true Butunz does wake up mom so she can get her cookie.I perfer to sleep in under the cover with mom, its nice and warm. So we all have to get up to get our morning cookie, we also get can dog food with it. After I am all done I run passed Butunz guarding her cookie, she just might bite if you get to close. I like looking at my new puppies eat their can food, they are so messy getting it on their legs. I wish I can clean them but Beebee the mother wont let me. She is a good mother wont let us get to close to her pups even though I am the father. I have to go find my squeeky ball now, later.

Teams across the league have been placing players on the regular season Physically Unable to Perform List today in an effort to solidify their 75-man roster by this afternoon's deadline. The most prominent offensive player put on that list so far? Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Gettis. He missed all of training camp because of a hamstring injury. The team had hopes that he would be ready by now, but instead, Gettis won't be able to play in the first six games. Since the Panthers have a Week-6 bye, Gettis can't return until Week 8 at the earliest.
Fantasy Analysis:
Yeah, it's not a huge deal that fantasy owners lost Gettis. But this is becoming troublesome for the Panthers. Steve Smith is on crutches due to a foot infection, and expectations during the summer were that Gettis would be their No. 3 WR. Smith should be back soon, but Brandon LaFell seems to be the go-to guy in the short term. You could do worse if you're searching for a deep sleeper.

Bethenny Frankel's Work and Family Balancing Act
Stepping out to promote her newest book titled Skinnydipping, Bethenny Frankel made an appearance at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in New York City on Tuesday night (May 1).
The original Skinnygirl looked beautiful in blue as she rocked a color blocked, figure hugging dress and blue heels while greeting her adoring fans at the press event.
The book signing comes just after Bethenny and her hubby, Jason Hoppy, were out spending some quality bonding time with their adorable daughter, Bryn.
The adorable trio strolled down the Big Apple sidewalks as the proud mama cradled her little bundle of joy while her man got stroller pushing duties.
The Bravo TV starlet's newest and first fiction book follows Faith Bridgestone, an aspiring actress who moves to LA to conquer her dreams, but after not hitting it big like she was hoping, she ends up packing up and heading back to NYC. Fast forward five years later and Faith finds herself on a reality TV show for Sybil Hunter. Skinnydipping is on bookshelves now!
Enjoy the pictures of Bethenny Frankel promoting her new book and at the park with Bryn and Jason Poppy in NYC (May 1).

Transmission and Rearend set up
I'm building a 375 to 450 horse engine to put in my street camaro and while trying to set up the car, i've run into some questions that no one i know around here can seem to answer. I'm thinking of running a 700r4 and my uncle has a brand new performance built one that he has said I can have...and free is always good. But my question is, will my 400+or- horsepower tear the trans up, or tear the overdrive up, or can it handle the power. And my other question is, will my 10 bolt posi rear taken from my 1981 Z28 parts car (my car is a 1980) hold the horses or will i need to upgrade to a 12 bolt.
The 700 R4 will handle the power just fine. The 10 bolt will also do fine, unless you plan on launching with slicks on the car.
The 12 bolt isn't much stronger than the 8.5" 10 bolt (which I assume you have)
is a 3.73 gear the highest i can go and still get streetable gas milage, or can I go higher, like, is there anything between a 3.73 and a 4.11
No, not in OEM. 3.73 will make the Camaro leap right out with your HP and low first gear. Any abuse when you go over 400 HP will definitely shorten the life of the 700. If it has been beefed up, it will live longer, but you will need to pick and choose when you want to punish it. The big spread between 2nd and third can cause some slipping when you are holding your foot in it and is the weak area that could fail early. Again, a beefed up tranny will help in this area.

Gorgeous car! Great advice, I am turning this search into a fun one. I'm only 2 hours from San Francisco and 6 miles north of LA so I'm sure I can find what I am looking for. SF has a 2002 black on black 540 with a manual transmission but I'm not sure I want the V8. Plus this car doesn't seem to have a lot of maintenance records and it has 125,000 miles so that scares me. I think the 530 is a better bet. Sounds like the 540 doesn't handle as well as the 530

Brian Ellis is spending a ton of his own cash!
Third district Congressional challenger Brian Ellis has committed 800-thousand dollars of his own money to the campaign. That puts him in the ten ten self funders for this years congressional campaign. But according to disclosure document, at the end of June, incumbent Justin Amash still had about twice as much money left to spend in the primary.

In 1967 I lived in Indiana, and my fishing was confined mainly to strip pits and farm ponds with occasional trips with other fishermen to reservoirs in their runabout ski or cartop boats. I had never heard of a slip sinker worm rig. We couldn't buy them. We were as likely to use live bait as artificials, and we kept a lot of our catch to eat.
I was contacted by Ray Scott, who got my name from taxidermist Archie Phillips. I gambled on this new venture by sending $100 for a life membership. My charter certificate is dated October 8, 1968.
The 8-pound, 4-ounce Indiana bass Archie mounted in 1967 changed my life. Bassmaster taught me how to Texas rig a worm (I had to clip the wire out of a bass swivel weight for worm weights) and on that weekend's trip to a strip pit I caught so many bass I couldn't believe it.
Soon a group of us formed the Indianapolis Bassmasters. Our club tournaments and challenges with other clubs taught us a lot quickly. I had my turns as president of our club. We were of course a part of the BASS Federation and worked with other clubs in Indiana.
I remember Billy Burns and others from the Lexington, Ky., club. Wow! We learned how to swim a crankbait through cover, how to fish a jig, how to work all depths, etc. We had a lot of fun and won our share in these events.
The first BASS National tournament I fished was at Eufaula (Ala.). What nice guys I met! Blake Honeycutt crawled under my boat and positioned my transducer so it would work while my boat was on plane. Ed Totenbier took me out on a practice day and showed me how to work topwater plugs.
I was so very underequipped. Up north, my Ouachita with front seat stick steering and a 33-horsepower Evinrude always brought the question, "Why such a large motor on a fishing boat?"
But at the shotgun start out of Florence Landing Marina I almost got swamped by the big boats and engines. After bailing out, I went directly across from the start and caught a quick limit of big fish on Stan Sloan's Aggravator Spinnerbait, then coached my boat partner, lending him a lure till he had a limit of his own. We came in around noon and were told that weigh in wasn't for three more hours.
Of course, our fish were kept on stringers, and they were dead by weigh in. There, we stuck them on nails on a big board. I did well enough to get a free entry to the next tournament on Sam Rayburn. Immediately I bought a Ranger bass boat.
At the Rayburn tourney I found the biggest school of huge bass I have ever been on, catching one on almost every cast to an isolated hump on a huge flat. The spot was way out of sight of land. I made a strategic mistake by entering as a non-boater (I wanted to fish with the top pros).
Unfortunately, on Day 1 I drew a guy with a little stick steering boat, and we couldn't get to my fish.
The next day I drew Elroy Kruger, who knew Texas fishing. It took a lot of talking, but I finally got him to go to my spot. It was very hard to find in those pre-GPS days, but we finally got on it and when we got to the weigh-in we had stringers you had to tie to an oar to carry on your shoulders. Elroy got the big bass award.
My next day partner had played for the Dallas Cowboys, and was he ever happy to learn that those were my fish. He bought me a big shrimp cocktail, steak dinner, dessert and drinks the evening before. The next morning we headed straight for my spot, where on every cast we hooked a big bass. However, the wind immediately kicked up washing a wave over us, and we had to leave. We found out later that Roland Martin (who had been scared to fish against us at Eufaula) had installed five bilge pumps on his boat to compensate for the waves washing in. What a smart competitor.
There was a rival to BASS formed in Illinois called Bass Casters Association (BCA) kind of like FLW now. They paid more and fished closer lakes. I won a national BCA tournament in 1971 on Lake Monroe in Indiana With the money I was able to make a down payment and buy a ranch style home on a couple of acres with a pond. The next tourney I placed 5th and couldn't recover my expenses, so decided to keep my day job with a credit union association. I was able to retire in my early 50s.
I filmed a Fishin' Hole show on Monroe with Jerry McKinnis, who introduced me to Tom Mann. I became a field tester for Mann's, and I later added Bill Norman, Bagley, Shakespeare, Lew Childre and Shimano to my list of sponsors. Tom brought me a prototype Humminbird made from a Heath Kit at the Indianapolis Sport Show, where I gave a presentation on the main stage in the coliseum.
I cherish the many friendships I established with characters like Bill Dance, Jim Bagley and Tom Mann and his brother, Don. I enjoyed doing seminars and in-store promotions, sports shows and the like, plus fishing with Bagley on the Mormon lakes in Florida (Jim took me there in his helicopter). All these things I never would have done with out BASS.
I was an early instructor in the Bass Fishing Institute that started at Indiana State University. All this time I continued with my passion for collecting old fishing stuff. This started in 1957, when I was 15, and my grandfather left me a mostly unused tacklebox with many lures still new in their original boxes.
The bass that caused Ray to contact me was later a decoration with other old fishing items on the set of the movie, Rudy. My sweetheart and I got to go to the premiere and meet the cast of the movie. That fish has done so much for me.
I've been fortunate to make fantastic field finds of old fishing items — over 6,000 lures already this year. These have been featured in several special museum exhibits and sports shows in the Midwest. Check out the world record bass display from the Creek Chub Bait Co. factory in the Macon, Ga., Bass Pro Shops, or the South Bend Bait Company and Indiana made lures in the Portage, Ind., location.
I have written a feature fishing history in Midwest Outdoors for over 20 years. Some day we plan to corral all these articles into a book.
I still fish a lot nearby, starting on my pond as soon as the ice begins to melt. I also fish lakes Michigan and Erie in the north and Toho in Florida. I've been to Lake Huites in Mexico three times this season, and traveled to Brazil for peacock bass.
Has BASS had an impact on my life? I would say so.
(Dan Basore lives in Warrenville, Ill., where he manages his historical fishing displays and fishes every chance he gets.)

Equinox does it again!: Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by 24butterfly
Overall Member Rating
Equinox does it again!
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
Hotel Info: We arrived 2 and a half days prior to cruise, using X's Choice Air, b/c, believe it or not, it was the cheapest we could fine (and I look!) We always stay at the Hotel Quirinale, and the Concierge remembered us from previous stays. It's located near the Republica stop and Termini, the 170 bus and a few others pass right in front of the hotel. A few doors down is a small church (St. Paul within the Walls) which we bought tix to an opera that night, and a good restaurant located around the block. There's a small gourmet food store located a few hundred yards from the Hotel. Love the Old World decor (no, don't read it as "run down"), but it's a European More style hotel with a great elevator (wrought iron) that I absolutely adore--think "Thoroughly Modern Millie"--I usually do every time I get into that elevator. Cute and quaint. Their customer service is excellent, as I had a problem with the plumbing and they changed the room. Unfortunately, I had to give up a footed tub....
Ship Info: It's the Equinox. Need I say more? Beautiful decor, loved the ship, layout, everything. First time I booked the same cruise for the next year.
Activities: Lots of 'em. Too many. Did go to Bingo one time, though...Missed the Captain's thing, too busy doing nothing. They also had Turkish entertainment one day by the pool. They do keep you entertained! Good poolside music.
Service: Excellent in the Dining Room. Cabin was always clean, Butler tidied up everything....He never threw anything out, which was great.
Port & Shore Excursions: Took 1 shore excursion, as we are DIY'rs. Great excursion to the Dolmabahce Palace (Istanbul)--got us there, bypassed the long line 1st thing in the morning, good tour guide, air-cond. bus--and a tour of the part of the city we were in, info about the city, as we had finished b4 the scheduled time. Sometimes, ya just gotta let them take care of you. Well worth the price...
Travel To Port of Embarkation: Used Romeshuttlelimosine.com as we have used them b4. On time, clean van, air conditioned, and also shared the ride to port with 3 other CC'rs. This Board is GREAT.
Stateroom: Sky Suite. Cabin 2148. While the extra room was nice, I was really happy with the Concierge Class Cabin we had last year. The cabin was not decorated in anything luxurious, we just had extra room and a large balcony. Could have done the same on a regular balcony....The Butler was nice, but he was kind of hit and miss. Room Service will do the same for you, and the Butler didn't even ask to assist with the packing/unpacking. He just wheeled in the luggage, and I had to put it on the bed.
Dining: We had Select dining for the 1st time, Natalie was great. I did have reservations for each night...My husband does not do "Adventures In Dining", so he nixed Blu for dinner. We breakfasted in Blu--very good, and quiet. Boy, do they treat you well on that ship! Frankly, dinner in the MDR was excellent. I had escargot (yes, it's back!)--I thought the food was excellent, and I'm a foodie. Anything I ordered medium rare came out that way, as did rare. The first night, though, for dinner, we had trouble being in the mood for something, so we ordered the poached salmon. Excellent. I didn't think the desserts were anything special (good--saves calories), the ice-cream was just ok I thought, but the Spa Cuisine at the inside pool (why did I 4get the name??) was just enough. The fruits marinated in those spice/herb baths were excellent beyond anything else.
Children's Clubs: n/a
Entertainment: Went to most of the shows---.....Hate to say this, but Carnival has the absolute best Broadway/Las Vegas style productions. The performers were extremely talented (I think they took dancing lessons while still in the womb)--but the productions were kind of sedate....
Disembarkation: Smooth. They have this thing down pat! Took their transpo to the airport...Why couldn't the airport be as smooth? Shuttle to this, bus to that, shuttle to this, bus to that, up stairs, down stairs, plane not attached to gate ramp....Summary: Great cruise, great ports, great ship--LOVE the Equinox--X has earned our loyalty....Just gotta figure out where we're going next!

RA checks in with M_nus pinup boy Heartthrob to talk disco moves and the inspiration behind his summer hit 'Baby Kate'.
The RA mafia tracks down the Poker Flat don in a hotel room in Rio to talk records, Final Scratch and what's on his turntables at the moment.
He set up Plus 8, he founded Beatport, he made one of the first CDs using Final Scratch. No, not Richie Hawtin. RA checks in with Canada's unsung dance pioneer John Acquaviva.

A few weeks ago, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) overhauled its website on coastal and waterfront smart growth. Waterfront residences and communities continue to grow even during the shaky economy. NOAA's site offers explanations and examples for homeowners, builders, designers, and community officials to help make sure that growth doesn't harm this important natural resource.
The updated site divides waterfront smart growth issues, advice, and case studies into 10 sections or "chapters," each covering one element crucial to preserving our rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans. Each chapter is organized into the same segments for easy navigation. For example, chapter 3 recommends providing a range of housing choices and the segments on that page address the smart growth principle, coastal and waterfront context, tools and techniques, action options, and a case study related to that topic. The site's "getting started" page explains how to best find and use the information provided. One useful site feature: the NOAA compiles all of the case studies in one place and labels them according to what smart growth principle they demonstrate. The NOAA plans to add more resources and suggested actions throughout the year, with regular updates to follow.

The University of Michigan volleyball, after a police escort from the airport to the hotel, arrived in Louisville, Ky., Tuesday night (Dec. 11). After a good night's sleep in the hotel, the Maize and Blue walked over to the KFC Yum! Center to start a full day of activities in advance of Thursday night's (Dec. 13) national semifinal match against No. 3 Texas. That match starts at 7 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2.
Michigan's day began with photo shoots and interviews with ESPN. The production crew had each player say their name and hometown, which will be used to introduced the viewers to the starting lineups (Keep an eye out for Lexi Dannemiller's wink!). Jennifer Cross, Lexi Dannemiller and Lexi Erwin then did a photo shoot for the network, taking some serious and fun photos individually and as a group. Most of the team then met with ESPN's announcing crew of Beth Mowins, Karch Kiraly and Maria Taylor, talking about the team and its run to the national semifinal.
In addition to the ESPN photo shoots, the Wolverines had stand ups for the Big Screen Network, which will produce the material on the video screens in the KFC Yum! Center. Fans at the match tomorrow can check these out during the starting lineups and in between sets.
After the interviews, the Maize and Blue had a 90-minute practice, working on serve-receive, blocking, defense and attacking. The practices were open to the public and many of the fans were also in town for the AVCA Convention. Among the Wolverine fans in attendance was Sandy Vong, who received an honorary M letter this fall and was the head coach for the Wolverines from 1973-83.
Head coach Mark Rosen, Claire McElheny and Lexi Erwin went to the pre-tournament press conference after practice.
[ Pre-Tournament Press Conference ]
All four teams as well as representatives from Louisville and the NCAA convened at the KFC Yum! Center for the NCAA Volleyball Championships banquet. The players took funny photos in the photo booth, while a bluegrass band was playing in the background. After the meal, a representative from each team answered two questions. Claire McElheny was Michigan's rep and talked about the freshmen's improvement from August until now. She then was asked to tell the crowd something about Mark Rosen that no one else knew. Her answer? Mark and Leisa met at a Final Four.
It was a long and fun for the team, but Thursday will be much like a normal gameday with a closed practice in the morning. For continuing coverage of the Wolverines at the NCAA Volleyball Championships, keep checking back to MGoBlue.com.

UK Hoops Edges LSU, Advances to SEC Semis
March 4, 2011
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery | AP Photo Gallery
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Victoria Dunlap thought about taking a crazy shot with Kentucky trailing 58-56. Then she noticed teammate A'dia Mathies and tossed her the ball.
Better plan.
Mathies scored on a three-point play with 38.8 seconds left to put the Wildcats ahead to stay, and No. 16 Kentucky edged LSU 60-58 on Friday in the Southeastern Conference tournament quarterfinals.
"I was definitely about to shoot it, shoot some crazy shot because I knew the shot clock was running down," Dunlap said. "I passed it to her, and she finished."
The second-seeded Wildcats (23-7) will play Vanderbilt or Mississippi State on Saturday after breathing a heavy sigh of relief at having survived another tight game with LSU.
"That's not my idea of a good time to play LSU," Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. "It's very, very difficult. They just do such a good job of making you earn baskets and the matchup with Kentucky and LSU is just such that we're going to play a certain style and they are, and neither team really seems to be able to get any separation from the other."
LSU (19-13) will have to wait and see if the Lady Tigers did enough to earn a postseason berth and the chance to notch a third 20-win season under coach Van Chancellor. He believes they deserve an NCAA tournament berth.
"If there's 64 better teams than LSU right now, I'd like to find them," Chancellor said. "I don't have any doubt in my mind."
The Lady Tigers had their chances late. LaSondra Barrett bounced a 3-pointer off the front of the rim with 14 seconds left, and Katherine Graham's jumper in the final seconds was off with Mathies defending her shot.
"We were trying to run a little screen across and get the ball to Boogie (Barrett), but we couldn't do it," Chancellor said.
Dunlap helped seal the victory with a free throw with 12.5 seconds left. She finished with a game-high 21 points, 13 in the second half after foul trouble limited her to eight minutes in the first half.
Barrett had 19 points and 10 rebounds for LSU. Adrienne Webb had 16 points.
The Lady Tigers have dominated this series over the years, but Kentucky has won three straight, including twice this season, as the Wildcats try to play their way back into the tournament title game they lost a year ago.
This one couldn't have been much tighter with eight ties and seven lead changes.
LSU led 27-23 at halftime and last led 58-56 on a drive by Graham with 1:29 left. Mathies drove the lane for the tying layup, and then hit the free throw to put Kentucky ahead for good. The Lady Tigers can blame themselves for this loss: They hit only 6 of 15 at the free-throw line despite shooting 50 percent (25 of 50) from the floor for the game.
"Thank goodness they didn't make a lot at the line today, and that was a big key in the game because we fouled way too much," Mitchell said. "We have to clean that up."
Kentucky struggled to hit only 36.8 percent (21 of 57) from the floor, but the Wildcats did well at the line by connecting on 15 of 19 free throws. Dunlap was 5 of 7 by herself.
"We didn't start the game the way we wanted to, but we definitely finished it the way we wanted to," Dunlap said. "Our team stepped up in the end, and we've had a couple games like this where the game was close at the end, but we got it done."
LSU had a chance to blow it open, up 6-1 early. Kentucky struggled to find the bucket inside the Bridgestone Arena and missed 10 of its first 13 shots. The Wildcats shot only 28.6 percent (8 of 28) in the first half.
LSU had its biggest lead at 27-20 but couldn't pad it more and led only 27-23 at halftime, mostly because the Lady Tigers hit only three of their 10 free-throw attempts. Chancellor said they missed their chance to lead by double digits.
"We couldn't make that happen," he said.
Dunlap opened the second half by drawing a foul from Taylor Turnbow, the third for the LSU junior and sending her to the bench. That was continued a 17-2 spurt for Kentucky with Dunlap scoring 12 points during that stretch, and her layup with 12:54 made it 37-29.
But LSU wouldn't go away, setting up the final scramble at the end.

First chicks of the year (and Dorking cross autosexing?)
Quite surprised to find my chicken population has increased by three today and they aren't due to hatch until tomorrow! Hopefully more by then. Didn't have high expectations as there's been snow on the ground the entire time she been sat, never hatched any this early. Really feels like spring now.
Is it the case than Dorking crosses are colour sexing? The three that have hatched are farm mongrel, or dorking cross farm mongrel and two look just like dorking chicks (female). Is it a fair assumption that if they look like the 'wild type' chicks then they are colour sexing? If so goody.
Anyone else hatching?
Smooth Hound
no, ive started getting eggs though
what do dorkings look like
I've never heard of Dorkin crosses being autosexing. I'm pretty certain that pure bred Dorkin aren't
How exciting! I've a week to go until we hopefully have our first brood, six black pekin eggs under a broody. Hopefully will have some success, although not planning to keep all. A bit spacious and quiet in hen house right now.
I'm about to put my first hatch of the year on.
Marans for 2 reasons
1) They are the only breed that I have that I can guarantee will be pure at the moment
2) The Maran cockerel is not long for this world and I would like to hatch some chicks before he goes. He is unbelievably nasty and I don't like him enough to put up with the hassle of fending him off with a corn sack every time I go into the run. He isn't even very nice to his ladies :-( No thought of sharing tidbits of food with them if he gets a chance he will steal food off them, they are all terrified of him so I'm afraid he will become curry
Oh curry, Philby will be pleased
Six chicks now doing well, the three from sunday two more on monday and another appeared thursday morning, she wouldnt leave the nest to let me remove the unhatched on wed eve, with good reason is appears!
Three look like female dorkings and one looks like a male dorking, then there's a mostly yellow one, all hatched from my mongrels eggs, and the late comer hatched from the Aracuana egg and is mostly black. Only one of the three unhatched eggs was infertile, the light sussex, which considering the amount of attention she gets from the dorking (his favourite) is very surpriseing!
Here's the picture I used to sex my pure dorkings last time which was correct. I thought is was a reasonably well known fact that they were auto sexing?
FYI Dorking crossed with my wyandottish mongrel is not auto sexing! The one with the male markings was a female, and of the three with female markings two were boys. I found sexing by comparison of the size of the combs at three weeks tricky this time as there are three different comb forms in the batch. The aracuana/dorking cross is the worst being the only one and no wattles but I think it's a girl. Little yellow mongrel is turning a lovely buff like her gran, another useful broody no doubt.
They can't be any worse than silkies.
I've heard it said a few times that you can never be absolutely sure until they either crow or lay an egg lol
So far my guesses have turned out correct, but no I'm never 100% sure until then! Luckily the lemon cuckoo pekin confirmed she was indeed a hen by being the first to lay last month and her more female looking sister is yet to perform.
I have a young silkie cockerel that I have been giving the benefit of the doubt for some weeks. But I can kid myself no longer - he is a boy, just much slower to mature than his siblings
When I hatched the Dorkings and Marans I tried to kid myself that I had got it wrong on the Marans as I only had 1 hen out of 4. No guessing required on the Dorkings sadly 1 hen out of 3, she is a lovely girl tho.
The chicks just have their heads left to feather up. The Aracuana/Dorking is growing an interesting punky hairstyle and light neck feathers. Should look a rather attractive easter egger with a crest and hopefully white neck!
I posted about a batch of Partridge Pekins that I hatched.
They are really easy to sex as soon as they start to feather up as the adult plumage is so different for the two sexes.
I thought that I must have got something wrong with that batch and waited until it became obvious that I had 14 cockerels out of 17 chicks :-(
Oh no! I'm really hopeing that if I get bad odds like that, that it's not when I've spent alot on hatching eggs! My broodies have hatched 4 batches between them, and there's been a link with time of year and sex ratio which must be just luck but it's odd.
Kiera hatched Marans and Dorkings in early summer 2F, 5M.
Angelina hatched Light Sussex in late summer 2F, 3M.
Kiera hatched Poots and Pekins in early autumn (it was pretty cold) 5F, 1M.
Angelia hatched mongrels late winter 4F, 2M. (I think!)
So it would appear cooler weather = more females!

Mute audio track
During multi-track editing with a music bed and voice-over, it is necessary sometimes to mute the music bed or the vo track in order to do video/audio alignment tasks. You dont always want to hear the whole mix when doing these.
It just needs a simple 'Mute' button on the track head at left in order to accomplish this.

7. during the day, I sleep on top of an upholstered chair, of course.
I am tagging-
i think all my other pals have been tagged!
i got to meet my newest batch of neices and nephews yesterday. they are just two weeks old and not so much fun yet. they can barely even open their eyes. they wiggle around and flop on their backs and all over each other. my sister, faith, has been an excellent mom. there are four girls and three boys and all are red & white. my favorite little human is smitten by the sheer cuteness of the basenji pup. of course, there are benefits to being older & wiser like me. for instance, i don't poop and pee on her like some creatures i know. ha! here's to being three years old!
this morning, i was in my typical spot underneath the covers. it was lovely and dark and warm and no one seemed to have to get anywhere in a hurry. i crawled out from my den and was welcomed to the day. Alpha rubbed my belly & i was in heaven. however, in no time, the tall guy asked for some attention too. it's nothing new; i'm not the only pack member that needs love & affection, but i had to try and win Alpha back. that's when i crawled right smack up on the pillows and started pawing and nibbling at the tall guy. that led to wrestling and i tried valiantly to show my superior strength, but alas, i was tackled and had to concede. in the end, my favorite little human joined in the party and i was the center of attention once again :)

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello becky,
The former law provides a three year look-back for transfers to individuals and a five year look-back for transfers to trusts. The new law provides a five year look back for transfers to individuals as well as trusts. When an application for benefits is made, the reviewing authority has the right to examine all financial transactions of the applicant within the look-back period, which will now be five years for all transactions.
The look back period starts on the date of the application for benefits, and is subject to the current look back period of 5 years. Gifts that were made when the old law was in effect are not held to the 3 year look back period, because the look back period does not start until the application for benefits is filed. And it then goes by the current law that is in effect at that time.
So if your father does need to apply for Medicaid benefits, he will be subject to the 5 year look back period.
Thank you becky
So, in other words, any claim made after 4/28/2011 would not be subject to the look back period and anything made prior would be?
Hello again becky,
Even a claim made prior to 4/28/2011 would be subject to the 5 year look back period.
The new transfer rules apply to all transfers occurring on or after the date of enactment of the new law. The new law was enacted on February 8, 2006. Transfers made prior to that date would still fall under the 3 year look back period. But any transfer made after that point falls under the new 5 year rule. If your father's assets were not transferred to you until 4/28/06, all of those transfers are subject to the 5 year look back period, because they occurred after the enactment of the new legislation.
Some states were required to pass their own legislation in order for the law to become effective in their states. However, even though some states had a later effective date for the law, if a Medicaid application is filed after the enactment of the state law, it will still fall under the new transfer rules. So even if NC did not enact the law until November of 2006, the 3 year look back period would only apply to applications filed prior to that time. Applications filed after November 2006 are still subject to the 5 year look back period, except for gifts given prior to February 8, 2006. The delay in state enactment did not push up the date where gifts given prior to that time were exempt from the new rules.

I built a DIY front undertray for a Miata I used to own. It incorporated a 1"-1.5" splitter as well, as the nose of the car easily allowed for the addition. I extended it rearward to the cross beam of the engine cradle, as wide as possible from wheel well to wheel well without the tires touching at full lock, and as close to the control arms but with room for them to move without interference. Driving without it and with it demonstrated it had an enormous improvement on front stability at highway speeds. Can't say I noticed an improvement in engine cooling, but one must be cognizant of not making the tray so long that it blocks airflow through the engine bay. A heat extractor hood was eventually added, and the front stability and coolant temps were again significantly improved. So much so that I had to add a rear spoiler to compensate. I used 1/8" black ABS plastic, and it held up quite well, even in parking lot dings. If I had gone more than an inch or two longer on the splitter, I would have added supports, but I think less than 2" of splitter won't require additional supports. I think the V would require 2 pieces; one behind the front air dam and a second piece in front for the splitter. I think if tabs were left on the ABS, they could slide into the existing slots for the air dam, and once secured with fasteners, provide additional front aero. Again, I wouldn't go overboard on the splitter length, or supports would have to be added.
If one built a tray behind the front air dam, either the existing factory tray would have to remain intact, or the DIY tray would have to be secured to the existing panels so that at least the current level of sealing in front of the radiator were maintained. Airflow leakage around the front of the radiator is a significant factor to consider.
One good thing about 1/8" ABS is that a heat gun on a low setting is good enough to mold it to tighter shapes without much effort. Too much heat will bow or melt it, and weaken it.
Hi All, UPDATE.......
I have been swamped but we are finally making the production hood this week. The rest of the panels are done, after the hood is finished everything gets block sanded then it is off for the motor and all the other goodies (In boxes) that have been taking up my garage space for way too long.
:bump: :pop2:
any new pics?
So...any updates?
yea that ^
Bump! !! Post new pics!!
I've browsed over the thread... And wow nice work!... Doesn't seem like a bad price at all considering the work involved. I like it
This thread died...
zz, Angelo says hello...
Few questions: looking to do some aero, where are you at with the rear wing? and regarding the hood, any status on carbon fiber? otherwise whats the weight on the glass one?
PM me if you want...
can't wait for pics, this thread is on the lottery list :P


text: I'm debating on which auto to purchase for an everyday deep concealed weapon. I would like to carry the pistol in my front pocket for best concealment. I have been thinking about the mk40 but am concerned after reading many poor reviews about the KAHR PM 40. Is the mk 40 more reliable than the PM 40? Is the MK 40 small enough to carry in the front pocket comfortably? I was also considering the Ruger LCP but am concerned that it might be similar to the Keltec P3at with problems. Which front pocket holster would be best for either of the two? Originally posted this in the wrong forum, sorry!

"Beyond a one-year horizon, the longer-term impacts on the U.S. GDP are negative in all scenarios."
-- Ellen Zentner, chief U.S. economist, Morgan Stanley. Zentner ran a number of models to test the impact of imposting trade tariffs of various sizes. On Jan. 27, 2017, Morgan Stanley issued its assessment that U.S. protectionism might produce a slight short term benefit, but that the long term impact on U.S. GDP would be bad.
"China should guide international society in together shaping a more just and rational new international order."
-- Xi Jinping 习近平, Chinese Communist Party Secretary and President of the PRC, speaking at a national security conference on Feb. 17, 2017.
"'A war within the president's term', 'war breaking out tonight' are not just slogans, but the reality."
-- Liu Guoshun 刘国顺, a staffer in the People's Liberation Army national mobilization, writing on the PLA website on Jan. 20, 2017 about the likelihood of a U.S.-China conflict with Pres. Donald Trump's term.
"At this stage and time with WeChat, Weibo and other products, it's hopeless."
-- Kai-fu Lee, assessing Facebook's prospects in China. Lee headed Google China at one time and is now CEO of Innovation Works. Lee was quoted by the Wall Street Journal on Jan. 30, 2017
"Unlike Obama, Xi seemed to like tension in US-China relations and he seemed to thrive on it to some degree... Now we've got a guy in the US who likes tension a lot more than Xi. He is president partly because he created tension."
-- Robert Sutter, George Washington University, quoted by the South China Morning Post on January 30, 2017
"We should also acknowledge the realities about China. China's island-building in the South China Sea is an illegal taking of disputed areas without regard for international norms. China's economic and trade practices have not always followed its commitments to global agreements. It steals our intellectual property, and is aggressive and expansionist in the digital realm. It has not been a reliable partner in using its full influence to curb North Korea. China has proven a willingness to act with abandon in pursuit of its own goals, which at times has put it in conflict with America's interests. We have to deal with what we see, not with what we hope."
- Rex Tillerson, Trump nominee for Secretary of State, speaking before Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, January 11, 2017
'I will want to divorce you only when the stocks I've bought recoup,' he said.

"One of the key exemptions of concern highlighted in the report included 'foreign media entities,' which may receive funding and/or direction from a foreign government with the intent to serve propaganda goals and censor content in the United States.
"As the department conducts its review of these exemptions, I urge you to specifically investigate how FARA may apply to foreign ownership and control of U.S. media companiesincluding movies, television, radio and other productions - that may be subject to foreign propaganda, censorship or other pressures that lead to self-censorship in order to receive financing and distribution. This concern is particularly timely due to the rapid growth in Chinese acquisitions and ownership, including American media, as part of its growth in foreign investment in the U.S. from $2 billion per year in 2010 to an estimated $20 billion this year."
-- John Culberson, Representative (R-Texas), in a letter to Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin calling for review of whether or not Chinese-owned media should be required to register as foreign agents in the U.S.

"China probably is now more aggressive in pursuing anyone who can be regarded as harming China's interests.... If they think there's a violation of Chinese criminal law and the impact is felt within China they are willing to pursue that and they think that they probably have the capacity to do that now. Imagine: The case happened in the '90s. It's not like it happened recently."

OTTAWA, Ont.–The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Canada's Minister of Transport, was in Washington, DC, March 25 to meet with senior U.S. decision- and policy-makers. She discussed best practices, challenges, and options to manage and improve the integrated transportation system that supports economic growth on both sides of the border.
While meeting with U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, Minister Raitt underscored the importance of continuing the collaborative approach to managing a safe, secure and efficient border to ensure the smooth flow of people and goods that is so important to the economies of the two countries.
Specifically, she emphasized the importance of bilateral cooperation on border infrastructure projects, including the Detroit River International Crossing (New International Trade Crossing), and highlighted the need for ongoing joint efforts in areas including ballast water and rail safety.
"This visit has provided an excellent opportunity to advance work on common approaches and measures with public and private sector partners. This work will support a safe and effective transportation system that bolsters the economic growth of our two countries. The United States is a strong safety partner and Canadians benefit from our on-going close cooperation," said Minister Raitt.
While in Washington, the Minister also discussed with the American Association of Port Authorities and the Canadian American Business Council, issues ranging from rail safety and the transportation of oil by rail, to the Detroit River International Crossing (New International Trade Crossing), the most important trade conduit with Canada. She also discussed the actions taken by Canada to ensure the safe navigation of tankers in Canadian waters.
Since the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the North American economy has more than doubled in size – from U.S. $8 trillion in 1993 to U.S. $19.2 trillion in 2012. The Windsor-Detroit corridor is the busiest commercial land border crossing in North America. It handles more than 30 per cent of cross-border surface trade.

DES MOINES — Happiness is new fair foods and treats set to make their debut at the 2013 Iowa State Fair Aug. 8-18 in Des Moines.

Additional sweet entries included a Fried Brownie On-a-stick, a Soft Salted Chocolate-Dipped Almond Pretzel On-a-stick and a Coconut Mountain, a soft and chewy coconut ball rolled in coconut flakes and dipped in fresh chocolate. These treats join more than 50 foods on-a-stick offered at the fair.
The mouth-watering treats don't stop there. Both the Sweet Corn Corndog, a hot dog dipped in batter enriched with fried sweet corn, and the Rib Shack Cowboy, cowboy beans, brisket or pork, cole slaw, a signature chip and barbeque sauce in a spice-flavored waffle cone, will entice fairgoers looking for a unique treat.

Teachers, Authors, Speakers, Writers And Experts!
Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
I know you have been waiting patiently for this ever since I released the Masterplan report last week. You're probably curious how much my new course, Membership Site Mastermind is, right?
I just turned the order page on and you can sign up to my six week intensive training program, Membership Site Mastermind, right here, right now –
I'm leaving the doors open for one week, then I'm closing and I'll begin running the weekly live coaching calls and working with the students as they go through the modules.
I haven't told anyone about this yet, so this is a particularly special bonus.
Later this year, in July, I'm doing something I've never done before – I'm teaching an entire live event focused just on my materials.
The title of the seminar is "How To Live The Two-Hour Work Day".
(Tim can keep his 4 hour work-week, I like to work a little each day because it's fun!)
I'll be presenting my entire formula for living the ideal lifestyle where you can work a few hours a day and live comfortably with the freedom to do what you want when you want.
I'll be teaching everything I've done to realize this lifestlye, including how I've bought and sold websites to make over $180,000 part time, my success principles to grow a profitable blog and how to make big money with membership sites.
This is the first time I've ever done a live workshop and depending how it goes, it might be the last, because I don't want to commit to too much work (proof that I really do value freedom over money).
So, here's the bonus…
Every person who joins Membership Site Mastermind within the next 24 hours will receive one double-pass for two people to attend my live event, valued at $1,997.
That's the deadline and if you miss it, you miss out. Here is the link to sign-up:
The event will be held in Brisbane Australia, my home city. If you can't make the trip down under to attend the event in person, you will receive access to the live recordings of the event online.
I recommend you book a trip to Australia, you can visit the beaches after you fill your brain with ideas at my event. It has never been cheaper to fly, so it's a great time to travel.
I'm not going to explain what's in my program here as I have a detailed info page and video that breaks down everything. Yes it is a long sales page, but if you don't want to read it, either scan the parts that interest you, or watch the video at the top, which explains everything in detail (and you will learn a thing or two as well!).
If you're still not convinced after reading my report, the Masterplan, and watching the videos I've released during the previous week, then see this page, it has the answers to your questions –
Membership Site Mastermind Info Page
You have precisely one week to join my program and that's it. Once the doors close it won't be open to the public again for many months.
If you're ready to go after the best online business model there is and launch your own successful membership site, you need to take this course, it's the best way to get started quickly.
I can't wait to start working with you to help you launch your membership site and guide you to that dream goal – $10,000 a month from your own membership site.
I'll speak to you on the inside.
Yaro Starak
Mastering Membership Sites
wow, i am the first to wait for yr launch!
I'm assuming you're going to teach via webcam since you talk about teaching personally. And if you shut the doors in a week, will you open them again? Very very good idea
I am not yet ready. I am afraid that I have to give it a miss. sorry.
You priced it way out of my range though I am extremely interested. I'd pay maybe $50 a month but $297 a month is ridiculous. How about I pay you when I make my first $100,000 from my membership site?
I love all your stuff and you do give a lot of free info away on your blog and report but it is just too much for an out of work -trying to be an entrepreneur in the US.
Your Blog Mastermind course has been fantastic! I will definitely sign up for the membership course. Thanks for all your help!
I have to agree with Julie, NOT because I think you're charging too much, not at ALL…but because my income has dropped to around 300 bucks a month, and the next money I can expect will be around the 18th of this month…I just don't have the money right now, and nothing to sell to raise it…living on ramen noodles and egg til then, lol!. There might be an awful lot of people like me out there, maybe folks who have lost their jobs and investments. Read something on the news this morning about people with college degrees having to live in tent cities, which are growing. Who knew? I'm one of the lucky ones, with an awesome, proven product…just a matter of getting it out there 🙂
Thanks for the great information Yaro, you are one the few who come across as sincere and so very methodical, you have a unique talent for breaking a topic down into tidy, logical bites. I hope the other gurus take note!
Does the money-back guarantee cover Option 2 ("Membership Site + Blog Mastermind") as well?
Look forward to your reply.
Very nice. Blog Mastermind Program was great. I suspect this will be easy to follow and implement also.
Sounds awesome, can't wait.
Well I actually already have a list of about 4000 names and learned alot just from watching you promote this program. I just want to know how to set up wordpress to handle memberships. I already know how to use wordpress but am not a programmer so hopefully I can figure it out.
It is also that I am not sure it if is worth that much because most of these things I buy I already know most of the info or it is just more junk so I am skeptical of paying that much for anything online anymore.
Hey Yaro, I've taken some of your advise and started up my own blog. Hopefully that will bring in some income. Maybe in a year or so, if you relaunch MSM I'll be making enough to purchase it.
Sounds marvellous!
Hi Yaro,
Just wondering how you filmed the video on the sales page? It is very professionally done.
Hi Yaro,
That's really good advice. I think building up a blog is a great way to work towards something bigger in the future. I started my blog at the beginning of this year and am now seeing an increase in traffic and a little return on my investment. Sometimes things come along at the wrong time but it doesn't mean we won't have the opportunity to participate in the future.
Enjoy the journey.
What are the best info-product creating courses available today?
Good job, once again your long awaited program is out. I missed the 24 hours deal but I will not miss the 7 days deal before the program closes it's door to new members. You always give lots of free stuff. Among blogger tutors, I count you the people I respect because your materials are free of fluff. I respect the expertise and time you put into products development.
I support your programs, I even wrote about Membership Site Mastermind on my blog. I have your ads all over my blog. I even promoted it on twitter and facebook like crazy. You are very inspirational and I want to be in the orbit of successful people like you.
Keep the good work!
Consciously Awaiting to avail this opportunity.
Awesome stuff Yaro. You've been doing great work and shared some great material. I'd wish you good luck, but I doubt you need that.. 😉
Hi Yaro,
I currently am on another membership training course that I get information sent through to me on a weekly basis (For the next 12 months! arggh for testing and reviewing purposes mind!)
Anyways so far they have only sent me information on how to setup a short term FIXED LENGTH membership website. Does you program offer the information for long term membership site setup?
I would love to sign up for this I know that you are very knowledgeable in this field but unfortunately cash flow is kinda tight right now, when is your next sign up date because you said you were closing the doors to this offer in a week.
Hi Yaro
I very interessted into your Membership Site Mastermind programm.
first I've some questions. I'm a really beginner and have any knowledge about internet and everything that has to do with it.
I'm willing to learn step by step. But what I need is a mentor who has patience to explain everystep I don't need. I a direct contact and help so that I can go step by step to my success.
I'm writting you, because I had the experence that people promise, that a newcommer without any knowleadge can learn with their programm. but what I remark, when I had questions or don't know what to do next or don't understand, then I got just an e-mail which is inpersonal and most of the time didn't answer my questions.
And as a newcommer without any knowleadge I need really somebody who take me by the hand and show me step by step what to do, etc. to get my succes.
what do you think, am I the right person for your programm?
I'm really willing to learn BUT I NEED a good mentor!
thanks for your replie
Hi Yaro
I had problem to pay the programm with paypal.
when I click on paypal. nothing is going on?
what do I have to do, so that I can pay with paypal?
thanks for your answer soon.
N. Tran
I jumped in the new Membership Site MasterMind at the very last minute (90 minutes before the close).
I really hesitated due to so many other expenses related to my business, but I'm determined to launch my first paid product for my new site this year and I hope your program will help me achieve my goals.
I started using Twitter about a week ago. At first I was reluctant to join, but after reading Yaro's article (and similar articles by other marketers) I decided that it would be in my best interest to at investigate what all the fuss is about.
Plus, a lot of my blog traffic has been originating from Twitter accounts. That, alone, is reason enough top join the service.
Thanks for the article.
Hi Yaro… I've been following your site for a while and it's been really helpfull to me. A friend and me have an idea to launch a site and I've already read your free membership site report, however I'd like to take your six weeks membership course, but I can't find any page or PDF or whatever where I can see what I'm gonna get buying this course, in detail.
I tried to acces through this link http://www.membershipsitemastermind.com/ but I just find that the membership is closed now. I can't find any valuable information to understand what are the contents in this six weeks course, how much is it, how it works once I signed up, etc.
I'd really appreaciate some information about it.
I am not yet ready. I am afraid that I have to give it a miss. sorry.
hey Yaro – I'm soooo looking forward to the new intake – only 4 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes & 16 seconds – 15 seconds – 14 seconds – 13…..
I plan to be first in. Have my niche, my product/idea and a list growing daily – woot!
Seeya on the inside!
[…] area is the Shoe Money System, a $200 a month guru training program. This is an offshoot of what Yaro Starak did with a similar idea. If you read the comments to our blog post people are complaining about […]
I am interested in joining your membership site in the future. I'm currently working on building my newsletter and traffic to my blogging platform. It's my hope to already have lucrative numbers to these platform and use that as leverage before launching my membership site. In the future I will definitely be open to joining your membership site.
Thanks for sharing, Yaro!!

Female Bikini Models
Female bikini models can find plenty of work showcasing the latest fashion and trends in swimwear.
Bikini Modeling
However, they are often used simply for marketing benefits.
There's no doubt that sex sells, and most men will agree that a woman in a bikini ranks high (if not tops) the sexiness scale.
Therefore, bikini models are always in high demand and can find plenty of work.
From promotional modeling, magazines, and catalogs bikini models are always in demand.
The requirements for bikini models are different from that of a traditional model, however many traditional models are required to model in bikinis at some point in their career.
Bikinis are often featured on the runway, and a model who graces the cover of Sports Illustrated has her career set in gold.
However, bikini models are considered to be a specialty division of modeling and there are models that work solely in bikini modeling.
Bikini models are akin to fitness models and must be in great shape. They also don't need to fit the same height requirements as traditional models.
Bikini models can be as short as 5'4 and up, the height and weight isn't the issue, it is the tone of the body and how the model looks in a bikini.
Also, many female bikini models have a bigger bust than traditional or standard models do.
Where a 34 B is the average or preferred bra size for traditional models, bikini models can have a cup size of C and larger, depending upon the type of modeling being performed.
Many companies hold casting calls for bikini models, and many girls with little or no experience can land swimsuit and bikini modeling gigs this way.
You might find that the best way to ensure that you only work for reputable companies and photographers is to sign with an agency.
Since unscrupulous magazines and photographers frequently target bikini models, signing with an agency is your best source of protection.
Your agent will ensure that the modeling jobs and assignments provided to you are legitimate
