Our board member Heather from {House} of A La Mode is back! Remember her great Urban {Hug} Pillow Tutorial?! Today she shows us how to welcome spring with her Citron Flower Pillow…
A pop of color for any drab winter home! We want spring!
Needed Supplies:
- 19 – 1 ¼ Hexagons paper pieces
- 1/4 yard – Main print flower petal
- 1/8 yard – Solid flower petal
- 19 "X 19" – Front pillow print
- 19" X 19" – Batting
- 19" X 19" – Muslin
- ¾ yard – Backing
- Hand sewing thread & needle
- Embroidery thread & needle
- Pins
- Seam ripper
- Sewing machine
(18 X 18 inch pillow. Please note pattern is sewn using a ¼ seams.)
The Petal Prep – Hexagons:
Easy peasy to put together! Grab one of your 1 ¼" hexagons & the petal fabric.
Tip: There are many free templates on the web to simply print your hexagons!
Pin together and trim fabric to a minimum of ¼" border.
First, knot the thread. Then baste the petal by folding the fabric toward the center of the hexagon, finger pressing as you go, and at each corner stitch the hexagon in its place until finished. Tie off your thread.
Continue this until all 19 hexagons have been basted.
The Flower Building:
Starting with the center petal hexagon, grab your first petal layer hexagon.
Place them right side to right side.
Using a ladder stitch to sew your petal hexagons together start and stop each petal with a secure knot and a backstitch.
I prefer the ladder stitch when piecing my hexagons, because the thread rarely shows on the front of the project.
Continue building the flower until completed.
Time to remove the basting!
Give the flower one good press on both sides. This will help hold the shape after you remove the paper.
Grab the seam ripper and cut those basting stitches. Remove the thread & paper and set the flower aside.
The Pillow Front:
Sandwich the front, batting and muslin (in that order) and place the hexagon flower on top.
Securely pin the flower in place.
Using your sewing machine, stitch the four layers of the pillow front together with a straight stitch. Sew around each stack of hexagons (3 total).
The Finishing Touches:
Take the embroidery thread & needle and add a touch of sweetness to the flower. I used grey thread.
Next use Julie's Basic Pillow Instructions to build your back, baste your pillow and add the binding.
Tip: When prepping a pillow for binding, you'll place the top and backing wrong side to wrong side.
Tip: Basting your pillow together before binding helps maintain the shape and a crisp look.
Tip: Choose a binding that supports the eye of your flower.
Presto! A beautiful flower with a pop of color for your living space until you can cut fresh ones for yourself!

I love the color in this pillow — It just pops!
Another beautiful pillow – I think I'm getting a hexie crush!
Hmmm…what is a ladder stitch? I'm working on some hexagon flowers, and find that my stiches sometimes show. I suspected there was a secret to preventing this. Details, please! 🙂
Heather always does great tutorials…thanks for posting this one.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Love the fabrics and colors~!
Lovely piecing with the hexagons!
I have been wanting to try hexagons but they seem so complex. I think this pillow may inspire me to try!
THAT is soooo cool! I love the color combinations. I can think of a few fabrics I'd like to try making it with…..when I muster up the courage that is.

London (CNSNews.com) - Anti-smoking campaigners in the UK Thursday welcomed a Los Angeles jury's decision to award more than $3 billion to a lifelong smoker suffering from lung cancer, expressing the hope it may improve the prospect for litigation in Britain.
In the largest verdict to date in an individual tobacco case, the jury on Wednesday found tobacco giant Philip Morris liable for Richard Boeken's terminal cancer.
"I think this will inspire blind terror in the tobacco industry world wide," said Clive Bates, director of a group called Action on Smoking and Health (ASH).
"The award ... is an awesome judgment on the conduct of Big Tobacco and a mighty hammer blow against Philip Morris."
Bates said companies like Philip Morris could easily afford a few million dollars here and there to settle claims, but when the payouts were measured in billions, then they started to feel them.
"The idea of punitive damages is to come up with a sum that penalizes the company responsible for the damage - that's why the sums are so large."
Bates said the Los Angeles verdict made the prospect for cases in other jurisdictions more promising.
"But our legal system is much less favorable to this type of litigation," he acknowledged of the British situation. "Because we don't have the same concept of punitive damages, the incentives for lawyers to take on cases on no-win no-fee agreements are less attractive."
And if smokers lost their cases, he added, they would face bankruptcy by having to pay the tobacco company's legal costs.
Two years ago 50 smokers suffering from lung cancer brought a case against tobacco manufacturers in Britain, but it was thrown out on a legal technicality relating to the statute of limitations.
In the LA case, the plaintiff claimed the company had not warned him of the dangers of smoking two packs of Marlboros a day. Philip Morris had contended that Boeken ignored health warnings printed on the side of cigarette packs in the U.S. since the 1960s.
Bates had little sympathy for such arguments. "In cases like this, people often comment that the smokers should take more responsibility. In fact, the contributory negligence of the smoker is usually recognized, but what is under scrutiny in the court is the behavior of the tobacco company.
"Given their history of recruiting and addicting teenagers and lying about the health effects for 40 years, the U.S. juries are starting to hold them accountable for the harm caused by their product," he said.
Britain's Tobacco Manufacturers' Association said Thursday it was making no comment on the award.
The association has been at loggerheads with the authorities in the UK and the European Union, as well as with advocacy groups like ASH over tobacco advertising.
Last month the European Parliament approved tough anti-smoking laws that will force tobacco companies in the EU to devote a full one-third of every cigarette pack's packaging to black and white health warnings like "Smoking Kills."
The law also prohibits manufacturers from using terms that may imply their brands are safer than others, such as "mild" and "light."

The Canon SX60 HS is a superzoom with an immense zoom range. The 65x zoom will make you feel as though you can spot life on other planets.
Looking at the numbers it's hard not to be a little impressed. However, superzooms often care a bit too much about length, and not enough about quality and handling.
We do see a little bit of that neglect in the PowerShot SX60 HS. You could argue it's common among traditional superzoom cameras, but the Canon's £449 price is higher than much of the competition, which makes the shortcomings harder to swallow.
SEE ALSO: Best Cameras Round-up
Like its predecessors, the Canon SX60 HS has a moulded plastic body that's not too far off an entry-level DSLR in terms of style and frame. It's large, but then a chunky body is required to offset the sheer size of the zoom lens when fully extended.
It feels robust, but not exactly expensive or high-end. For £449, the Canon SX60 HS is a rather basic-feeling camera. Canon's tried to inject a slight sense of quality, though, by using aluminium for the outer part of the lens barrel. This is welcome, as this area will often be held or rested on something for a bit of extra stability.
Handling-wise the Canon SX60 HS is pretty good. The grip is large and we found it easy enough to wrap a good three fingers around it, giving you a firm hold of the camera. It's arguably far more necessary than it is for most entry-level DSLR shooters, who are unlikely to need to deal with as extended a zoom range as offered here.
So how much zoom do you get here? It's a 65x lens, with focal range equivalent to 21-1365mm in the 35mm standard.
That's a fairly dramatic increase compared to last year's SX50, which offered the equivalent of 24-1200mm. You get more in each direction here: wider when fully retracted, and more zoom, too.
A 65x zoom is likely to make a few jaws drop, and rightly so given that it's lengthier than most of the competition including the 60x Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 and the 50x Fujifilm X-S1.
The Canon SX60 HS offers a pretty intense stabilisation designed to let you shoot through most of the zoom range handheld. Canon says it offers the equivalent of 3.5 stops of shutter speed.
However, we found that at 1365mm – or anything close – you really need to use a tripod or monopod, or at least have somewhere to rest the camera for extra stability. Even if a fast shutter speed and the OIS are enough to keep photos sharp, it's tricky just to keep your subject in the frame when shooting handheld.
Also, the maximum aperture of the Canon SX60 HS is just f/3.5-6.5. It's quite slow, and both the cheaper Panasonic and Fujifilm rivals are faster, with f/2.8 maximum apertures. We'll get onto the focusing and image quality effects of this later. But in short: don't judge a lens simply by its magnification.

I bought one yesterday and my view is that the controls are ridiculously complicated.This is NOT a user friendly camera. Still trying to understand how : I can find the self timer ? how I can underexpose easily? how I can go into macro in Automatic? or is macro automatic in Automatic ? it doesn't seem to be. How can I change the ASA? This is not the first digital super zoom that I have owned but it is definitely the most difficult to operate and the manual
is probably comprehensible if you have a degree in computer science. I dont and I am struggling. I think that people who buy this sort of camera want something that is easy to operate I dont want to be scrolling through menus when I am trying to photograph
a butterfly
Got this camera on a sale, 350 dolars, man was i impressed, the controls are a bit difficult, but for a hobby photographer this camera puts me on a sweet position, all my pics are awesome, i get to catch details other people just dream about, and i get to save a lot of walking, its 3 blocks away.. just zoom it , now its 2 steps. THIS IS THE CAMERA, i undestand the zoom is not everything, but for the regular eye this is 11/10.
My vacations got to a whole new level thanks to the canon SX60 HS.
You do not read manuals?
This may help!
Each question you have is easy to solve!
add www prefix
Love my SX60!
and my DSLR!
from super macro
- 0 cm distance - to the moon
the bridge-camera can do!
low light scenery
is not the best.
but HDR and handheld night-shot or fireworks help a lot.
in camera tool DRC
dynamic range correction is
in most tests not tested, but great!
Interesting review. I wonder what the criteria for rating is. Remember, this is primarily a point and shoot camera with a huge reach. Not a full frame DSLR with a Canon L Lens, or even a cropped DSLR with a Super Zoom lens. In every other review I have read about this camera, it is rated over the competition.
For a full evaluation I would suggest the review by PC MAG. done in November 2014.

A little about me. This is my ambitious journey as a thrift store junkie single-mindedly bent on documenting every, single thrift store in the San Francisco Bay Area. While this task may appear daunting, you'll be comforted in the knowledge that I am up for the challenge, having been genetically predisposed to finding bargains from a tender age. Plus, I was a Geography major, so that'll come in handy.
Why thrift stores? I can't remember exactly when or why I began frequenting them. Some of them clean and bright and organized by color or item. Others smelling slightly of body odor or old carpeting. But, this has become a type of excavation for me. Searching, uncovering, pulling back, scanning the racks and shelves because they could hold a buried treasure.
I can lose time in these places, exposing the remnants of other people's lives. Observing the hidden gems that tell countless stories. The personal photographs in black and white and kodachrome of weddings, family portraits, leftover souvenirs from world wars and world travels. Why did someone donate this portrait? I sometimes wonder when I see a painting or a photograph of a man or a woman, someone's mother or father, aunt or lover.
Thrifting, thrifted, thrift – these are all terms that may delight some and that others may revile. But perhaps it is because I once wanted to become an archeologist that I now find great pleasure in combing these receptacles of our modern, throw-away culture, of other people's personal detritus. I always wonder what I'll find around the bend…
This thrift store project was a long time in the making. It is really only because of WordPress, Tara Brennan – and because I am tenacious – that I was able to give it wings.
My goal: to document in words and photographs every single non-profit thrift store in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. It is the perfect intersection of three of my favorite activities: writing, thrifting and photography. I hope it helps you find many of your own hidden treasures, and I hope that it helps the non-profit stores by bringing them more visitors each and every day, which in turn helps further their mission to help those struggling in our society. That is my wish. Added bonus: it's good for the environment.
Please share your thoughts about this blog, thrift stores or any other related topics posted on this site by emailing me at [email protected] or follow me on twitter http:[email protected].
Stay tuned for more thrifting adventures with Mimi …single-mindedly bent on documenting every, single thrift store in the San Francisco Bay Area.
FANTASTIC!!!! I love the combination of your creative interests and how they are so easily woven into the treasures of "thrifting." This site is beautiful!
Posted by | September 30, 2010, 2:00 am
Thank you for making this website!It's really lovely and great.
Posted by | April 13, 2011, 8:19 am
What a great website, just found it while hunting for the store hours of a local thrifit shop that I did not know the name of… I too love thrift shops, salavage yards, flea markets and garage sales, I rarely buy retail. I love the hunt and even more thrilling, love a good price. One of my favorite finds: a 1950 white Kitchen Aid mixer for $2 (and it works). And have you heard about the New Treasure Island Flea Market, small and a good mix of new and old. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

You and I have a lot in common, Mimi. I was a geology major, so I too am predisposed to dig! Plus, I am also trying to make my way through all the thrift stores of the bay area! I especially enjoy reading your impressions of each one and comparing them to my own. Thanks for the great blog!

Andy playing both sides this morning as predicted.
Andy playing both sides this morning as predicted.
I don't quite understand what they are hatching. Something about a fake something that Andy is going to pretend he didnt know. This is about telling Judd something. It isn't even important to understand. It will come out today, whatever the eff it is. Anyone have a clue?
Andy literally pacing around. He is a nervous wreck. LOL
Not smart on their part... Judd should have listened to Elissa she told him not to trust Andy... It may cost him the game..
Did I read that McCrae said he was voting Aaryn out? It would make more sense for him to save Andy and for deManda to save Aaryn.
Will you accept my Racing Mirror-ball Olympian dancing Carly rose from a 24 hour live feeding Generation Fort jury Idol member, Quinn?
I agree. As much as andy's gameplay is obnoxious and the fact that we absolutely hate his alliance, his gameplay is working and he's setting himself up nicely no matter which way it goes. I gotta give him that.
GM covering Elissa yet again.


text: My '02 WRX has been making some valve rattling and detonating noises for a little while.. It happens when under 1/2 to full throttle acceleration. I have also noticed that sometimes it will pop back through the intake every now and then. I have changed the plugs, air filter, and fuel filter. On my A/F ratio gauge everything seems fine under throttle and am getting 14 psi boost. I do not have any check engine codes on at all. All is stock except for a turboXS bov. I am assuming that the timing belt may be stretched some. It is definatly time to change it. I have 108k miles on it. Any other ideas??

Jean, this story's handsome, long-haired little boy, happens to have a very famous father — the artist Pierre Auguste Renoir. But the boy also has a problem. Despite Jean's many protests, his father thinks Jean's hair is too beautiful to be cut short. This renowned artist loves to use his son as a model in many of his paintings, and he insists that Jean is still young enough to keep his hair long. Meanwhile, the other kids often tease Jean, which makes him quite angry — and well-intentioned adults sometimes mistake Jean for a pretty girl, which annoys and embarrasses him.
How can Jean convince his dad that he's old enough to have short hair? This gently amusing story for children is beautifully illustrated in a manner that resembles the painting style of Jean's illustrious father, and includes several illustrations that are faithful reproductions of Renoir's paintings. Of course, the senior Renoir finally relents, and young Jean Renoir does get his hair cut. Still later, as an adult, Jean becomes famous in his own right as a widely acclaimed film director.
Renoir and the Boy with the Long Hair is one more title in Barron's fine series of books for children about world-famous artists and the young people who knew them.
Wendy Wax, a children's book editor for several years, now writes and illustrates her own books. Wax is married to a commercial photographer and the mother of their young son, Jonah. She lives and works in New York City and Remsenburg, New York.

A former commercial property manager has pleaded guilty to commercial corruption charges.
The Serious Fraud Office laid the charges against Christopher Green under the Secret Commissions Act.
The 66-year-old corruptly received and retained secret commissions totalling around $142,000 for referring insurance business to Herbert Insurance Group.
His employer - a client of HIG - was consequently over-charged by about $220,000 for that insurance.
Acting SFO Chief Executive Simon McArley says everyone is a loser when commercial corruption, in the form of kick-backs, occurs.
He says it distorts the market causing otherwise competitive companies to lose business and results in higher prices for consumers.

Looking for a hunting mentor/buddy
I am a 30 year-old family man. I got into duck hunting last season after inheriting my grandfather's guns. I have since bought decoys/boat/gear and had a bad season. I chalked it up to not having a good blind, poor calling, low water levels and being a bad shot.
I spent summer shooting clays and making a blind for my boat. I'm an ok shot now, and have a good boat blind.
I have been out a number of times already, paid $$babysitters$$ to watch the kid and have yet to bag a bird! What am I doing wrong I realize there are good days and there are bad, but it seems like guys at the boat launch all seem to have better luck than me.
I am an avid fisherman, and I understand that there is a deep bond that sportsmen form with nature while in pursuit of game. I have not had "in-the-field" mentorship in duck hunting.
Is there anyone who has time during the week to come out with me and impart some wisdom? I have a flexible schedule during the week; I prefer not to hunt the weekend because I only have access to public land.
I am an honest and hard-working early riser. I would guard anyone's hunting spot with my life and I promise to never hunt there without them.
I live in the Milwaukee area. Feel free to PM me.

Hello from the hills
Hello everyone,my name is Bill and I was an electrician(Commercial,residential,and industrial) for more than 25 years,now I made my living this way until 1999,when my wife had a brain anuerysm,and everthing changed,now I'm a caregiver for her and do some side work every now and again,I'd like to ask a question that I know the answer to, but cant seem to dig it out of the cobwebs known as my mind,I would like to know what a shunt breaker is and what it's for,now I ask this question on another site and the thread was closed because the guy evidently thought me to be an idiot,but when you dont do things that you normally did on a regular basis and then all of a sudden you dont need to know the answer right away,then sometimes it just slips your mind,can anyone help me please
I think it is a breaker that can be shut off remotely, the magnetic trip mechanism is wired to an external switch, when the switch is closed, current passes through the magnetic trip mechanism, opening the circuit. It does not turn the breaker to a trip position, but the off.
I have seen these used as part of fire systems to turn off the main power to a building. For example I have seen this connected to a fire sprinkler flow switch on the riser. A fire sprinkler pops, water flows in the riser, this activates the water flow switch, main power is then shut off to the building via wires going to the shunt trip (and the fire alarm is activated).
I've also heard of them used to shut down power for elevators in a high rise should there be a fire in a shaft. Although the shutdown sequence is quite elaborate because you want the cars to first go to the 1st floor and open their doors before shutting down power (to allow passengers to exit).
Thanks to everyone,I think my first project is to see where and why they need the thing to begin with,then come back and ask the how fors and so on,you've been allot of help thanks
We have several in our electronics repair facility.
It turns the main breaker to off at the push of a button.
We also have breakers in the kitchen in case of fire, they shut off.
Wow, another topic I was honestly about to post about.
My high school had them in the work shop for the overhead pull-down cords. It was wired as an emergency stop switch to kill the circuits. I've actually been thinking about setting one up in my garage for all the outlets, and keep the lights on a separate 15 amp circuit.
My question since I have not actually installed one before, is what are the rules on wiring one up? Like the remote trip wiring, can I just use some 14/2 for the remote kill wired to a momentary push button for a 20 amp breaker? Of course the circuit would be wired with 12 gauge wire (as it is now), but I am referring to the shunt trip portion of the breaker. Also, if the circuit is shut off remotely like this multiple times, does this degrade the circuit breaker in anyway? (I have heard that a breaker tripping due to over current is no longer fully up to spec on successive trips, maybe I am wrong about this) But I suppose if it does indeed go all the way to off (and not "tripped") then I suppose this would be nothing more than just turning the breaker on and off at the actual breaker itself.
Also, does anyone know what the voltage is to activate the remote trip? I'd assume its line voltage that makes that work and the wire can't be anything smaller than like #14.
Shunt trip breakers are used for many applications. As has been stated, they are used where remote disconnection is needed. A low-voltage circuit, 12-24 volts, actuates a solenoid that trips the breaker. Buildings often have a locked button at the entrance where the fire department can kill the power. Often, A/C units will be fed from shunt trip breakers, and the shunt connected to an auxiliary relay in a fire alarm panel. When the fire system goes into alarm, the power to the A/C units is automatically disconnected. Elevators sometimes are wired to shunt trips so that if there is a fire in the elevator shaft, the power is turned off. Etc.
I'm sure they make anything and everything, but those I have seen were for big monster 3 phase breakers, but the shunt trip wiring was a regular 120V 14 ga. circuit powered by a separate 120V breaker and ran to a switch. So it was just run as any 120V circuit would be run.
There are 120 V units available, but I have never installed one.
Typically most shunt breaker do have 24 volt circuit however just watchout some do have DC or AC version { most used AC AFAIK}
And the cost wise is not cheap ., :eek: Yeah right ..
Most common appaction of shunt trip breaker is useally founded in Fire Alarm system { useally ANSAL system maybe few others } , Elevator shunt tripping but they have specal control to prevent shunt trip until it get down to first floor then trip the breaker.
The other place I know from time to time they used shunt breaker is for gas pump { that used on main breaker useage }{ the rest of them will have both power and neutal common tripped breaker for gas pump useage.

"Took some time getting used to the product and types of students...."
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
If you are fresh out of college, it is a great place to work. Or.. if you are older and seeking some extra income for the family.. it is a great place to work. Since they did away with the matrix, the atmosphere has completely changed. It is a LOT of fun.. not kidding.. a ton of fun. We work hard but we play games, listen to loud musich, throw balls all around, and are caring on the phone with students and each other. Truly never worked in such a fun place where they want to make it fun for you.
If you have only B to B experience and are used to making money and having incentives for closing more deals.. it will be VERY frustrating. But if you really need a job, want to learn a new industry... and do not mind the pay.. it is a good place to work till you get a real job. The frustrating part is seeing kids on my team.. making 103K per year and are locked in at that rate. Crazy.. and so not worth it. Good for them though.
Advice to Management
I think they are doing a fine job. I really think you need to stop feeding floor and OAP unassigned to your vets as most of them sit on their rears and wait for hand outs. Give those to the performers of the month, make them work for their money as I see a lot of them getting lazy. So what if they performed for 1-3 yrs, now they are not and are just taking hand outs. I know this is true as I sit with them all day. Nuts and unfair.

The pay is good, the benefits are good, and you get a free college education. There are plenty of departments to move into if you hate your job.
When you're new its like being a freshmen in college. Cliques are already formed, the managers and directors dont really acknowledge your presence, they train you on the same stuff for hours, and they expect you to fail. If you succeed when you are new, people are surprised. If you want to get through the new phase your only choice is to put up and shut up. Expect to hear 7 different people telling you how to do your job and being totally confused as to what the right way is.
Advice to Management
Hey Directors how about you come out of your office once just to get know your staff and not to be a hall monitor? All the directors claim they understand the job but yet they are so unfriendly. My director has had 1 conversation with me. She's only nice to the people who have been there for awhile and are top producers. Bridgepoint preaches caring but I have not met a single manager or director that has made me feel like they care. They talk the talk but they don't walk the walk.

Great talented co-workers (most of whom are going to leave), not a lot of on-call work, decent benefits, large environment, free education, for what it's worth.
There's a great deal of "good ol boy club" stuff going on within the IT organization. Most of the truly talented and seasoned Engineers have left the company after performing miracles only to recieve no credit or support from management. The internally coded software is mostly crap, but you are going to have to support it because the people that create it 'can do no wrong'--all executive level support and backing is to the developers, IT Engineers and admins are treated like custodial workers and are expected to be ready with their mops when the golden children release bad code and break systems. Most of the 'opportunities' within the organization are given to buddies and people that fluff the right people, not the people with the most experience or greatest skill set. The current director of IT was from a company called Active Networks--an organization that saw 100% IT attrition and it's clear that he's taking Bridgepoint Education down the same path.
Advice to Management
Senior management needs to open their eyes, when all of your Senior level staff in an IT organization get up and leave in short order there is a big problem that needs to be addressed. The Director of IT should be walked out the door as quickly as possible and the VP should follow for not having addressed the problems within that department as they've played out.

GFI question
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I have a circuit in my house that is wired in such a way that 1 GFI outlet in the bathroom protects multiple standard outlets downstream in another bathroom and one outlet in the garage. My question is can I replace the standard outlets that are downstream with GFI receptacles as well, or is this pointless? If I do replace the downstream outlets with GFI outlets will it affect the functionability of the circuit as it is now?[/font]
Yes you can, but is pointless. It would not affect it at all.
An installation like this would violate code nowadays...bathrooms are supposed to be dedicated and 20 amp.
I would only go to rewiring if you had problems with hair dryers, heavy loads, etc.
Definately a waste of time and money, all for no benefit at all. :no:

I had almost the exact situation. I was going to buy an Si. I loved it, drove great, it's a really wonderful car and I would be very happy to have one. You would never be disappointed. But, my wife said the same thing to me as Tomhole's and told me to go drive a couple. I went out and drove one a week or two after the Si and wondered if it was really worth the extra money. I finally decided that to be sure I would drive them back to back in one day - it took about two hours of travel time, but was worth it. When I drove the Si after the M the differences were very clear to me and they were significant IMO. With no exaggeration, the M was a totally different experience. I got in the Si and it was clear within 30 seconds down the road. Acceleration in the M was great, but that was not worth the difference in cost. As he said, the steering certainly gave me more feel for the road. The sound coming out of the pipes alone, which I personally care about care about, was wonderful. A lot of it was just the intangible feeling of everything together....sound, acceleration & torque, seats, steering, road feel, fat steering wheel, suspension, brakes, no run-flat
, looks, etc. You really need to do the back to back to know what you think. You may find it is not that different for your driving and personal needs than an Si or you may not be able to live without it afterwords, but that is the only way to really find out.

Photo Roster of Academic All-Big Ten Honorees
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The Big Ten Conference office released its winter 2014 Academic All-Big Ten teams on Wednesday (March 26), and the list includes 68 University of Michigan student-athletes. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
Highlighting the list of recipients are 23 members of U-M's defending NCAA champion men's swimming and diving team, 10 of whom are in Austin, Texas, for the NCAA Championships this week (March 27-29). Senior Connor Jaeger (Fair Haven, N.J./Rumson-Fair Haven), a 2012 U.S. Olympian and mechanical engineering major, earned Academic All-America At-Large second team honors last year and will defend his 500-yard freestyle and 1,650-yard freestyle NCAA titles in Austin.
Men's gymnastics, which will also defend its NCAA championship from one year ago in front of a home crowd at Crisler Center (April 10-12 / ticket information), placed eight student-athletes on the Academic All-Big Ten team. Graduate student Syque Caesar (Port Saint Lucie, Fla./Lincoln Park Academy) -- a three-time All-American -- headlines the list. A two-time Big Ten champion on the parallel bars, Caesar was also named a 2013 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and is a co-captain on U-M's undefeated squad.
On the hardwood, Jordan Morgan (Detroit, Mich./University of Detroit Jesuit) earned his first Academic All-Big Ten honor. The team tri-captain received his industrial and operations engineering bachelor's degree last spring and is in graduate school for manufacturing engineering. He is also one of just five NCAA Division I players named to the AllState Good Works team, recognizing his community service involvement.
Junior guard Nicole Elmblad (St. Ignace, Mich./LaSalle HS), voted captain of the U-M women's basketball team this season, was named Academic All-Big Ten for the second time, after being named to the 2014 Capital One Academic All-America second team. Elmblad also earned All-Big Ten honorable mention (media) and is the only Wolverine to start all 33 games this season as they head into third-round WNIT action on Thursday (March 27) at Bowling Green.
The conference office also awards Academic All-Big Ten distinction in the fall and spring seasons and the Distinguished Scholar Award at the end of the academic year. Student-athletes eligible for the Distinguished Scholar Award must be letterwinners in at least their second year in residence at their institution. Qualifying student-athletes must have earned a GPA of 3.7 or higher for the current academic year, excluding summer school.

About The
Rubenstein Method™
Healing Stress, Anxiety and Chronic Conditions with the Rubenstein Method
How it works and what to expect
The process of healing needs to come from a deep understanding of where the pain is originating—the actual source of the stress, anxiety and pain and not just the symptoms.
The 10 core principles that govern this unique approach to healing:
- The entire body is governed by patterns in the brain that cooperate or create wellness or illness.
- Stress and Anxiety are antithetical to healing and satisfactory mental/physical performance.
- Where you feel the pain is almost never the source of the pain.
- Muscles often become dysfunctional as a result of trauma/stress/anxiety which leads to degenerative joint (bone) diseases, inflammation, body pain, poor sleep, and postural problems. The systematic restoration and regeneration of proper muscle function reverses these issues.
- Every muscle has an "on/off switch" in the brain. Only 30% of our muscle fibers are actually activated leaving a majority of muscle fibers inactive leading to dysfunction, pain and stress.
- Approximately 50% of a person's stress, anxiety, and body pain is attributed to insufficient oxygen to the brain.
- Trauma to the body/brain/mind is the primary cause of stress, anxiety, addiction and most chronic conditions.
- Observing a person's walk reveals the mechanical postural sources and severity of chronic conditions. Motion-based physical assessment can reveal otherwise hidden functional issues.
- Medication does not fix the cause of the problem.
- Stress, anxiety and chronic conditions cannot exist in a calibrated body.
Kinetic Sequencing™
Kinetic Sequencing™ is the discovery that a priority exists in human health treatment and it is not at all obvious. This explains why it has taken so long to uncover this incredible group of insights. The first is actually the only obvious one - breathing. However, science has now informed breathing principles into a precise program replacing the thousand year-old traditions. The result is a substantial gap between traditional techniques found in yoga for example, and science-based breathing. Our breathing process has been perfected through science and even though other techniques exist for scientific breathing, The Rubenstein Method has uncovered a series of improvements over the ones some of you may be aware of and even practiced. So far, our client tell us about the superior results and in shorter time frames due to the application of good science and practical, progressive breathing enhancement. So Kinetic Sequencing begin with breathing and proceeds to the Jaw as described below. But what makes it different? In the brain, a certain finite number of neurons are dedicated to each part of the body. This region is referred to as the homunculus. The regions with the most neurons dedicated get the earliest attention because that's where the greatest impact on Stress to the brain/body is located or prioritized. In this way, a precise, repeatable, reliable 'track' has been set forth for you in your treatment program - whether it is brief or elongated in duration.
Kinetic Sequencing also recognizes that Stress/Anxiety is at the root to nearly every disease or pain -be it physical or mental - that we have a name for. I mean really, we know this and have worldwide agreement about it. But we have not formulated a DIRECT attack on stress until the advent of Kinetic Sequencing. So it's a blueprint that directs treatment to attack stress fundamentally and methodically.
The entire Rubenstein Method is split into 4 distinct phases. The first phase, deals with reducing or eliminating chronic pain and it is foundational for the other phases. Most people are happy to get rid of their chronic pain and can happily stop after the first phase is complete but there are also many others that choose to go through all 4 phases (see chart below). You can discuss the merits of continuing past Phase 1 at any point with your Calibrationist.
Step 1 - Assessment and EvaluationEach client submits a detailed self-assessment and medical history that is reviewed and evaluated by a Certified Calibrationist prior to the first appointment. At the first appointment, further details will be discussed and the Certified Calibrationist will ask you to walk for several minutes to observe any correlations between your symptoms and the dynamic motions of your body (A person's walk is extremely revealing). A Kinetic Sequencing protocol is created for your specific case.
Step 2 - Oxygenating your brain and bodyYour Calibrationist will teach you the importance and show you how to get the right amount of oxygen to your brain and body by triggering your diaphragm muscle - the main breathing mechanism to function PROPERLY. Over 90% of people do not get enough oxygen because their diaphragm is inactive. By simply activating your diaphragm two amazing things happen: First, you get the ideal amount of oxygen into your system; and second, your diaphragm takes on it's ideal, upside-down salad bowl shape, which takes immediate pressure off the lower back. Most clients experience an instant 50% reduction in pain just from learning to breathe with an activated and calibrated diaphragm.
Step 3 - Kinetic Sequencing to activate and calibrate specific muscles
Your Calibrationist will guide the specific muscles and joints that are most greatly influencing your chronic conditions through small, slow and precise bio-mechanical motions - these motions are called Kinetic Sequencing. For example, if you are experiencing neck pain, your Calibrationist may work on activating and calibrating your jaw (specifically your TMJ) and your feet as they both are intricately linked to the vertebrae in your neck.

I had every intention of making this my last post.I was as heartbroken as any of you after the catastrophe of this week.I'd planned to divorce myself from politics and turn my computer into a solitaire game-playing machine.I was heartened by some of the comments that have been posted here the last two days and realized you don't lose until you give up.You people have helped me through some extremely difficult times in my life and giving up would turn me into what I despise the most.It may be awhile until the sense of loss diminishes and the mourning period ends.Until then I've come up with an extensive list of things I resent.Consider this an open thread if you want to add anything you resent.
Being forced to see his vile countenance everywhere,smiling that chesire cat smile and lying openly,knowing half the populace will either believe him or don't care and those who do care can't do anything about it.He knows the press will never call him on it.
Him bellowing about bringing the parties together to work for the American people.I am fluent in Obamaspeak so loosely translated it means:I won again,you can't do dick to stop me and you white motherfuckers can kiss my entire black ass.
His porcine broodsow issuing edicts on what wholly inedible foodstuffs our schools must feed our children while she stuffs anything not moving in her cavernous maw.
Being regaled with her taxpayer-funded junkets around the world and the media swooning over how beautiful a camel can look in designer clothes.
Mia Love lost her bid for the House.
Allen West was redistricted out of his seat with the help of some voting chicanery.
That odiferous turd Alan Grayson is back.
Mourdock lost his Senate bid not so much because he said something sophomoric,but Dickless Lugar wanted payback for being primaried out.
Akin lost to a corrupt bitch in Missouri not so much because he stepped on his penis,but the GOP and Rove cut and ran leaving him to fend for himself against a filthy pig with abundant rescources.
Harry the Toad is trying to eliminate the filibuster so he can play the Keeper of the Realm.
The state of Israel is on its own since Barry would ask for a UN resolution of condemnation if Iran launched a nuclear attack.He has promised aid to Israel and we all know what his word is worth.He got 68% of the Jewish vote.
Hundreds of thousands of overseas military ballots arrived a day too late to be counted.They would have swung enough swing states to make Romney the president.
Three million white voters stayed home.The vote total McCain got in 2008 would have beaten Obama,who got two million less votes than he got in his first election.Maybe some were just tired of the mushy moderates we've had to swallow since 1988.Ron Paul voters are also suspect.
Our gallant military will be sliced to pieces by a CIC who openly despises them.
Veterans who have earned their benefits will be shown the back of Barry's hand.
That gutless milksop John Boehner has already surrendered,telling Obastard he's open to raising taxes in exchange for imaginary spending cuts everybody knows will never happen.
Tingles expressing his gratitude that Hurricane Sandy killed scores of people and destroyed millions of lives so his living god could look presidential and bipartisan thanks to governor Krispy Kreme.He can now spend the next four years cleaning his messiah's sphincter with his tongue.
The day will come when we look back on when gas was $4.00 and refer to them as the good old days.
We were pushed over the cliff and into the abyss by dead-enders who have surrendered their dignity and self-respect in exchange for a life of Nanny Government giving them a lot of free stuff and making their decisions for them.They don't give a damn about the deficit, taxes(they don't pay any), unemployment(who wants to work?), health insurance(they get theirs free), or anybody that actually has skin in the game.
With our 2014 tax returns we will get a form to fill out listing any medical conditions you have,what medications you take and the name and contact information of your insurance carrier.If,like me,you have no insurance, you will pay a hefty fine and be placed in a government program.
The GOP-e is in the process of eliminating or marginalizing the Tea Party class of 2010 so they can go back to having circle jerk parties with the democrat buddies they split the taxpayer and lobbyist pies with.
My grandchildren may never have a good-paying full-time job or know what it's like to be self-sufficient.
There will be another Republican president one day,but I may not live long enough to see it.I just wish I could see the country I love returned to a modicum of its former greatness before I lay my burden down for the last time.
If you have anymore feel free to post.I'll be back sometime.

Please explain to me [2:33]
Labor Force: All people aged 16 and over who are either employed or actively seeking work. It does not include discouraged workers, people who have retired, or those on welfare or disability who are no longer looking for work. Since January 2009, this number has grown by 827,000 people or 0.54% (from 154,236,000 to 155,063,000)
Not in Labor Force: Total civilian non-institutional population minus the number in Labor Force. Since January 2009, this has grown by 8,208,000 people or 10.2% (from 80,502,000 to 88,710,000 people).

Add this to the increased costs of everything else, like gas, food and utilities, then tell me how we're being greedy and selfish if we don't want Obama Democrats running the country any longer.

2004 – U.S. Senate Candidate Obama Dismisses Bush Jobs Report [1:45]
In this video clip, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama sneers at George Bush's economic leadership, saying the uptick in economic activity in March 2004 was not that big a deal. In his words,
"Middle class and working class Americans are being squeezed, working longer hours, for less pay, it's harder for them to find jobs that pay a living wage."
Hmm. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? But according to the Obama White House, the recently released economic report for August 2012
"provides further evidence that the U.S. economy is continuing to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression."
What a load of PARTISAN POLITICAL HOT AIR!
Chrissy's Site Bites @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2513452740056011884NbCOKH
What we have here is not "the worst downturn since the Great Depression", but the worst RECOVERY since the Great Depression. (And a Big-Government-Democrat orchestrated that prolonged piece of misery too.) The ACTUAL worst downturn since the Great Depression was brought on by none other than Democrat Jimmy Carter.

But instead of pork-laden, crony-feeding, borrow-and-spend, big government programs, Reagan implemented the same kind of things Romney and Ryan want to implement. Below are 2 data-based, non-partisan comparisons of how well the two approaches actually operated in the real world.

President Obama is running around making loads of promises about how he's going to FIX things if we just give him Four More Years. Who is he kidding? He made the exact same promises in 2008.
He's HAD four years.
Check out what his record is on economic leadership.

As a predictor of economic trends, Obama clearly gets a big fat F. Let's hope he will prove to have been more prescient about the tolerance of the American people.
He's right [:30]

A 3.8 percent sales tax may not sound like much. But it would add $3,800 to the cost of a $100,000 home or more than $15 grand to the cost of a $400,000 home. If the GOP wins in November, they have promised to overturn Obamacare and pass common sense, economically sound health care legislation. If Obama and the Democrats win, count on this tax and many others to kick in and further depress the economy.
