Well, is the toilet water salt water or fresh water. I gots to know
My wife and I take a cruise every year. On these cruises if never fails that new questions are asked by some of the passengers. Here are some of those questions:
1. Is the water in the toilet ocean water or fresh water?
2. Are the waves in the pool caused by the waves in the ocean?
3. Standing at the rail overlooking the ocean one passenger asked, Yesterday at 10:00am there were dolphins right here and it's 10:00am now. Where are they?
4. How does the ship get its electrical power while at sea? Long extension cord?
5. Passenger standing at the rail again looking at the ocean asked me, You from around here?
6. Is there an elevator that runs from the front of the ship to the rear?
7. What time does the 24 hour pizza parlor close?
8. Are the oars big enough to paddle us to shore if the engine quits?
9. Is there a danger of sharks in the pool?
10. Not being aware that the ship turned around one passenger exclaimed, the sun is on the wrong side of the ship today

"Good to see you again."
Dr. Flynn opens every session like that, as if he's surprised that I've returned for yet another psychoanalytic workout. I can't blame him if he truly is surprised. I'm not the most compliant patient. I suppose many people show up to therapy eager to get to work, sort out their problems, get on with their life. The good doctor's hourly fee is probably incentive enough to sort your shit out in a timely manner. The fee is not problem for me.
Still I wonder if he's learned his opening line in psychology school. If there was a class titled "5 ways to open a therapeutic session." His office is warm and comfortable, yet I can't imagine spending all day inside one room. There's a nice potted plant in the corner and I stare at it briefly wondering if its real or fake. His degrees are perma-plaqued on deep mahogany hanging on the wall above his desk. In the corner, by his computer screen sits a single framed photo of his wife, Rhianna. Will I ever have a photo like that on my desk? Of Ana? Shit, Christian where are you going with this?
"Christian, you seem...distracted. Is everything alright?"
"Sorry, John. I've just, well I had an interesting couple of weeks."
"Oh" he says, in that very faux intrigued way that psychologists do.
I usually see Dr. Flynn weekly, but he's just returned from a three week vacation to visit his family in England. He sure picked the wrong time to go out of town.
"Well, I was actually wondering if I could get your opinion on something?" err someone.
"I'm all ears. That's what you pay me for" he laughs.
"I know I had mentioned before that I was conferring degrees at WSU, Vancouver."
"Yes. I remember you saying that you thought it was a bit lame, but it was a 'gotta do,' since you gave all that money to the school,"
"Well, in the same line of lame 'gotta do's' I somehow got roped into an interview for the college newspaper. Their editor was very persistent. The editor who was supposed to interview me apparently had the flu. So her roommate turned up to interview me, and well..."
I don't know what to say. That she stumbled into my office and all I could think of was tying her up in my playroom? That I had Welch find out where she worked and I flew from Seattle to Portland just so she could sell me cable ties? He'd turn me into the police...
"And well..." Dr. Flynn encourages, noticing that I've drifted off into thought.
"Well I'm hoping she'll agree to be my submissive."
"I see."
"John. You seem surprised. What were you expecting me to say."
"Well, Christian. Let me start by asking you this. When you say 'agree to be my submissive' what do you mean? Is she in the submissive community?"
"Well, er, not exactly."
"What does that mean Christian?"
"She's actually a virgin. Well she was, until last week. We actually had vanilla sex a few times. I've never done that before."
"And how was that for you."
"Surprisingly satisfying. It just didn't seem right that her first time be tied up on a grid in my playroom."
"Why do you feel that way Christian?"
"I don't know what you mean, John. I mean isn't it obvious."
"Well Christian, I think this is an important point for use to explore. We've talked about your sexual desires extensively, and you've been very consistent in maintaining that you feel there is nothing to be ashamed of. And I agree with you. Shame is not a useful emotion. And there's no reason for it when you're talking about a relationship between two consenting adults. However, despite saying that you don't feel shameful, you still keep this part of your life a closely guarded secret, which we've also discussed. However, I find it interesting that when you meet someone who is not from the community, who is inexperienced, you engage it 'vanilla sex' as you call it. Do you feel like something is wrong with what you do in your playroom?"
"John, that was a very long statement. I can't tell if there was more that one question in there."
He laughs "Well lets start with the last question. Do you feel like there is something wrong with the sex you have in your playroom?"
Absolutely not. Where is he going with this?
"Well then, Christian, let me ask you this? Why, then, did you feel like it would be inappropriate when it was her first time?"
"I don't know." I suddenly want out of here. Shit we still have twenty-five more minutes.
"I can wait while you think of an answer Christian."
"Well, I...I guess I just felt like she was so...good. I didn't want to spoil her. Make her broken, like me."
"You feel like you're broken?"
"I know that I'm broken, John. I'm fifty shades of fucked up. Oh let me count the ways I'm broken."
"Well, I'm curious, though Christian. After having quote un quote vanilla sex with this woman, why are you still hoping that she will become your submissive?"
"John, that's what I do. I don't have relationships. It's not who I am. I need control, complete control. And I'm a sadist. We've talked about this. I like to beat the shit out of little brown-haired girls because they look like the crack whore."
"Well, when you did have this vanilla sex with this woman, were you able to, how shall I say, maintain arousal?"
I laugh. "Yes John, that was not a problem."
"And along those same lines, were you able to reach orgasm?"
What the fuck is he getting at. Get me out of here. God this is uncomfortable. "Yes John. Several times. That was not a problem."
"Well, Christian. What that indicates is that you are not as dependant on your playroom as you think. Emotionally, I understand that you feel you need a degree of emotional detachment to maintain control. Because intimacy is all about giving up control. But that fact that you were able to become aroused and reach orgasm with this woman, without the playroom, indicates to me that, sexually at least, you're not as dependent on the playroom as you think."
"Well, never-the-less, John. I told her that it was a one time deal. That I don't do vanilla, I don't let women sleep in my bed."
"She slept in your bed?"
"And how was that?"
"I slept well actually. No night terrors."
Dr. Flynn pauses for a minute. It's an awkward silence. I know what he's trying to do. He's hoping if he just shuts up, I'll keep talking. Spill my guts. I'm not playing this game. I keep my eyes focused, staring him down. Two can play at this game John.
"Well tell me a little about this girl Christian. What's her name?"
"Anastasia..." I love the way her name rolls off my tongue. I love how every part of her roles off my tongue. Shit Christian, stop it. What are you doing...
"That's a very pretty name."
"Yes it is." I'm done. This has already been more revealing that I wanted. Flynn's not getting more out of me.
"Well Christian, we're almost out of time. But over the next week, I'd like you to think about a few things. I know you don't do homework, and I won't ask you to do any. But I'd just like to leave you with some questions to think about. We're doing solution focused brief therapy. The purpose is to asses your goals and do the work necessary to get you to those goals. In the past you've wanted a certain kind of sexual and interpersonal relationship, and you've sought out women who wanted the same type of relationship. So regardless of why you wanted this relationship, what traumas in your past drove you to seek these types of relationships, it was not a problem. But now you've met someone who did not actively seek out this type of relationship, and you are hesitant to impose it on her. Yet something in you still wants to be involved with this woman. So I'd like you to think about whether you might be willing to explore a different type of relationship. If your goal is to be in a relationship with...Anastasia, and to achieve that goal, you might have to change the way things have always been. I want you just think about that. Think about what you'd be willing to negotiate, if you had to, to achieve the type of intimacy that's fulfilling to you and to Anastasia. Just think about that over the next week."
"Will do John."
"Okay, well we're out of time. Now, don't forget, I will be out of town at a conference until next Monday. But if anything urgent comes up, you have the number for my messaging service."
"O.k. John. Laters."

Bears Draft Kyle Long, And Everything Else You Missed At The 2013 Draft
Title fuck up on that last blog for the ages
"This guy is the highest, this guy is number one offensive guard in the last 12 draft classes and that's as far back as we go. He rates as rare. In our scale, 9 is rare. He rates as rare."
-Phil Emery on Kyle Long
Well I'm sold. Was this pick slightly out of left field? Sure, maybe a bit, but this is a new era. Phil Emery was brought in to scout and draft. If he loves Kyle Long that much, I trust him. From all the quotes it sounds like this was the only guy the Bears even considered drafting. That's how much they love him. Yeah he's 24.5 years old, yeah he's had some off field issues, but from everything I have read the Bears front office thinks Kyle Long contributes right away, and if that happens our number 1 weakness from last year just got stronger, so I'm in.
Also, I want my O-Lineman mean with a dash of crazy, and I think Kyle Long takes care of that.
Everything else you might have missed at the 2013 NFL Draft
Highlight of the night as far as I'm concerned. Schefter's malfunctioning chair.
Lane Johnson will hopefully be getting his girlfriend invisalign
Mike Mayock got a little pissy at Rich Eisen
Chief draft room is exactly how you imagined it
Including Andy Reid's killer shirt
Ziggy Ansah with some serious glasses

Many who are connected with Manchester United may fear the day that Sir Alex Ferguson decides to call time on his managerial career and club captain Nemanja Vidic accepts that United will face a tough challenge in replacing him. The Serbian defender also believes that the fans and players will get behind whoever the new manager is and give him what he needs to be a success.
Many believe this could be Ferguson's last season in charge but the Scot has not offered many hints on when he will retire. Ferguson, who has recently just turned 71 years old, has had a remarkable and highly successful 26 seasons with the Red Devils. Vidic highlighted the stability that Ferguson has brought to the team as well as the many successes and Vidic hopes whoever the new manager is will continue in Ferguson's footsteps.
Speaking to Four Four Two magazine, Vidic said, "It is tough to say, the way the club is built is on stability, some of [the players] have been with Ferguson for 10 years. We still want to keep stability. It will be a tough place to be and it will be a big challenge for the club and for the [new] manager to sit in that chair, but he will have support from the club and the fans and [we will] give him all he needs to do well."
Given the size of United in world football, only the biggest names in management have been mentioned so far with Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho thought to be the two preferred front-runners. No doubt Ferguson himself will have a major say in who takes over but Vidic insists that the players themselves have no idea who the manager will be or even when Ferguson plans on retiring. United's decision will be based on who they believe will not only deliver the club huge success but also provide longevity, much the same as Ferguson has had with the club.

Small-budget deck
This 9- by 25-foot deck covered with multicolored slate tiles provides the perfect place for quiet and relaxation. Handsome stone pavers ― a product called Stone Deck ― make it feel like a terrace on the ground. These tiles rest on the same kind of framework a wooden deck does. The broad wooden steps are made of ipe, a rich, red-colored Brazilian hardwood.

I get a lot of random e-mails related to legal products, seminars, books, etc. But this one caught my eye because of its
subject – lawyer cartoons. At first I thought maybe it was going to be lawyer jokes, but it's actually a series
of drawings with cheesy phrases that you can personalize.
Now you can get your attorney father an illustration of two kids fighting in a sandbox that says "Don't threaten me… My father is a lawyer at (your law firm name here)." Want to tell a partner at your firm that he or she is a legal eagle? You're in luck! There's a cartoon portraying (an out-of-date) U.S. Supreme Court with what appears to be Justice Anthony Kennedy (or Dick Cheney, close call based on the drawing) crying out for a real legal eagle, and to get (your name here) on the phone.
Other cartoons include referring to your law firm as the 9th Wonder of the World, recognizing someone as superb at closing arguments, or that someone's going to be eaten alive by a giant tiger because the opposing party retained (your firm). As a side note, I couldn't help but plug in Keller & Keller's name when reading this because the cartoon is almost exactly like the commercials I see during TV judge shows in which the guy that used to be on Empty Nest and hawked Isuzu cars now wants to settle a lawsuit after finding out that Keller & Keller is involved.
Another random note: This actor, David Leisure, has appeared in at least 10 other commercials for law firms/attorneys across the country, according to IMDB.com.
While you can customize to add your name or your law firm name, the images don't change, so if you don't look like the person in the cartoon, you're out of luck. So if you're not a white, male attorney, you're out of luck for the "World's Best Lawyer" cartoon. I would like to take this moment to point out that there are quite a few female attorneys, as well as accountants, doctors, and dentists. Why this company limits its "world's best" professions including females in the drawing to just podiatrists, teachers, and nurses is beyond me. But that's a rant best saved for another blog post.
At first, I couldn't believe that lawyers would be interested in this type of hokey cartoon, but then I realized the majority of cartoons offered by this company are geared toward attorneys. This could mean one of two things: 1) the artist just really likes drawing cartoons about attorneys, or 2) attorneys (or attorneys' loved ones) eat this stuff up and buy it. I'm going to go with theory number two.
Here's the website if you're interested, www.yournameherecartoons.com. This stuff isn't cheap, with a 16x20 framed drawing costing $350. Take a look at the cartoons and let me know what you think. Would you give this to someone or enjoy it as a present?

Earlier, Vanderbilt bounced back to tie the game in the fourth inning after an early four-run hole. Connor Castellano's RBI-double scored the first run and Kemp's RBI-single drove in Castellano to tie the game. Conde's RBI-single in the fifth gave VU a brief lead before Oregon's four-run sixth inning put the Ducks in front for good.
Castellano led Vandy with two hits, two RBI and reached base four times in his first start as a Commodore. Mike Yastrzemski chipped in two hits and Riley Reynolds added two runs and a RBI-triple. Aaron Payne paced the Ducks with three hits and two runs scored while Aaron Jones and Ryon Healy each had two RBI in the win.
Oregon starter Brando Tessar picked up his second victory of the year allowing five runs, two earned, on seven hits and four walks over five frames. Sherfy worked the final 2.2 innings to earn his second save of the season despite walking five batters. Will Clinard took the loss in relief giving up four runs on five hits with three walks in 3.2 innings. Steven Rice was solid out of the pen, turning in 3.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts. The two teams combined for 16 walks and three hit batters in the game.

(102.84 kB) The use of welded wire mesh in residential slabs has been on the decline for the last ten years as more contractors switch to synthetic-fiber-reinforced concrete. Synthetic fibers — which are often called Fibermesh, a well-known brand — have been marketed as a substitute for wire mesh in residential slabs.Most contractors are eager to avoid the hassle of wrestling with wire mesh, and prefer the easier option of ordering synthetic fibers from their ready-mix supplier.

About the Author
Joan Mathews Larson, Ph.D., is the author of the national bestseller Seven Weeks to Sobriety. She holds a doctorate in nutrition and is the founder and executive director of the highly esteemed Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis. It was the loss of her seventeen-year-old son to suicide that fueled her search for more effective solutions to emotional healing. Her clinic has now successfully treated several thousand people over a twenty-year period. She lives in Minneapolis. From the Hardcover edition.
Praise For…
"This book is a treasure trove of vital new information. Because my clients have been using similar strategies for many years, I can testify to their immediate and sustaining effectiveness in correcting even the most severe mood problems. And the elegant clarity of its writing and layout make the book a pleasure to read."
Author of The Diet Cure
"Larson provides the checklists of symptoms, possible disorders, and corrective formulas along with simple but thorough explanations of how the biochemistry works. She plausibly links biochemical emotional problems with the gradual shift in the American diet over the last sixty years toward sugary, carbohydrate-laden, and processed foods. Anyone who has suffered from mental lapses, mood swings, and stress will find plenty to mull over here."

Introduction: Weight gain is a common concern following breast cancer and has been associated with negative health outcomes. As such, prevention of weight gain is of clinical interest. This work describes weight change between 6- and 18-months following a breast cancer diagnosis and explores the personal, treatment and behavioural characteristics associated with gains in weight.
Methods: Body mass index was objectively assessed, at three-monthly intervals, on a population-based sample of women newly diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer (n=185). Changes in BMI between 6- and 18-months post-diagnosis were calculated, with gains of one or more being considered clinically detrimental to future health.
Results: Approximately 60% of participants were overweight or obese at 6-months post-diagnosis. While BMI remained relatively stable across the testing period (range=27.3-27.8), 24% of participants experienced clinically relevant gains in BMI (median gains=1.9). Following adjustment for potential confounders, younger age (<45 years; Odds ratio, OR=9.8), being morbidly obese at baseline (OR=4.6) and receiving hormone therapy (OR=4.8) were characteristics associated with an increased odds (p<0.05) of gaining BMI. Other characteristics associated with gains in BMI were more extensive surgery and having a history of smoking, although these relationships were not supported statistically. In contrast, caring for younger children was associated with reduced risk of gaining BMI (OR=0.3, p=0.20).
Conclusions: Clinically relevant weight gain between 6- and 18-months post-breast cancer diagnosis is an issue for one in four women, with certain subgroups being particularly susceptible. However, the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer are overweight or obese and gains in body weight are common. Thus, interventions that address the importance of achieving and sustaining a healthy body weight, delivered to all women with breast cancer, may have greater public health impact than interventions targeting any specific breast cancer subgroup.

Sorry, I haven't been on in a while, but I've been too busy having loads of fun in my new rex. I'll be posting pics and what I've done to it soon too. That's a different thread though...
The cold weather is coming and it's time to get prepared. I saw a similar thread to this and I didn't want to thread-jack so I figured I'd ask here.
I know I am gonna have a dedicated summer/winter set of tires but my concern is the winter set. I am from the midwest and while we can get a lot of snow in the winter, there are still times when the snow melts and we are driving around on dry roads for a couple weeks at a time.
I read all the articles on tirerack about winter/snow tires and my concern is that my winter/snow tires would prematurely wear when I am in the dry during the winter. I've never had winter/snow tires (always all season) and I've never had a problem with driving in the snow, so I am considering putting all season tires on my winter rims.
In your experience, about how long do winter/snow tires last when they are driven on roads that are sometimes covered in snow and sometimes dry?

An emperor Japanese maple is a fast-growing maple tree with purplish-red leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn bright red or orange. Although not native to North America, the trees are often found in northern American gardens because their late-opening leaves help protect against spring frosts.Continue Reading
These trees grow to be 15 to 20 feet tall with equal widths. Their limbs begin about four feet from the ground. Emperor Japanese maples adapt to full sun or partial shade. They grow best in rich, moist and well-drained soil. Usually, these trees are able to survive in polluted urban centers, but sheltered locations are best. Their roots require mulch in particularly cold winters.Learn more about Botany

As regional members of the Tennessee General Assembly prepare for the upcoming legislative session, elected officials from Hamilton County took an annual opportunity to make their legislative priorities known Thursday.
Over breakfast at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Mayor Jim Coppinger, Sheriff Jim Hammond, county commissioners and other elected officials briefed House representatives and one state senator on items they would like to see considered. Members of the delegation on hand were Sen. Bo Watson and Reps. Mike Carter, Vince Dean, JoAnne Favors, Richard Floyd and Gerald McCormick.
At the top of Coppinger's list was a request to amend a state law that would allow the county to cremate the remains of unclaimed indigents. The mayor said that his staff had done their best to be "sensitive" to the issue but had been forced to think logically in the face of dwindling plots available at the county's Cofer Cemetery.
"We have 73 grave sites that are left there right now, and we've already had to bury 80 people there this year," Coppinger said. "If you do the math, we're going to be running out of sites soon."
Cofer Cemetery, located on a hillside along Jenkins Road, has been in use since 1933 as the county's location for the burial of unclaimed remains. Coppinger said that any remains that were cremated would likely be buried at the cemetery and still be available for claiming.
"It kind of comes off as cold-sounding, but it's not," he said. "Logistically, we just don't have any room."
Coppinger also asked members of the delegation to ensure the county would not have to comply with any unfunded mandates in the coming year and requested in addition that members work to maintain the level of grant funding that the county has already become dependent on.
Outlining his priorities for the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, Hammond asked members of the Legislature to place special attention on how transportation of inmates with mental health issues was draining department resources. Hammond said the issue was affecting more than 20 percent of inmates.
"Jails have become mental health hospitals, to tell you the truth," Hammond said.
Hamilton County Superintendent Rick Smith made no specific requests for legislators but restated his opposition to a potential bill to form a voucher program for public schools.
"We know it will take dollars away from public schools," he said.
Following the meeting, Watson said he wasn't surprised by any of the concerns brought forward by local officials. Watson said the lack of curveballs was in part the result of good communication between officials at the state and local levels.
"We have a really good relationship with our local government," Watson said. "Over the past month or two, several of these folks have talked with us or members of the delegation about these items."

What you are seeing on GunsAmerica and GunBroker are "asking" prices. That being said condition is everything in establishing price. Your pistol appears to have been pretty well used. I think that a high end would be about $500 for someone who really wanted it. .32's are not the hot item these days. What it comes down to in the end is what someone is willing to give you for it.
The photo below is of a .32 with a lot more original finish than yours and if I was willing to sell it I doubt that I could reasonably expect to get $1000. for it.

With more than 30 years of experience and over 5,000 ART cycles, we have been able to provide help to thousands of couples to enjoy the joy of parenthood through our ART services including IVF, ICSI, IUI, Egg Donation, Embryo Donation, and Surrogacy.
We understand the challenges faced by the people with fertility problems and we take our commitment very seriously. That is why we have been the first choice of countless couples from India and around the globe. Our IVF centres are currently based in - New Delhi, Gurgaon, Sonipat, Jaipur and Bikaner, and we are headquartered in New Delhi, India.
I had looked for so many options in USA, Canada and other countries. It looked almost impossible for these countries to take up my case because of enormous costs. And then I considered International Fertility Centre in New Delhi. I was impressed with the work done by Dr. Rita Bakshi who has a lot of experience in this field. When I had a word with her the first time, I felt so relaxed & contended. The entire staff at IFC was helpful and provided me all the timely reports of the surrogate and supported me even after the delivery. I am so happy to be a dad today and will certainly recommend other parents to have surrogacy treatment with IFC only.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I had twins - 6.2 lbs and 5.6 lbs. How does one answer that in the poll?
yep, no way to answer this poll if you've had more than one kid, unless they're both in the same range - and then it's still only weighted once.
8.9, 9.10, and 10.12 NO MAS!
Wooter to blame for sellout: SumDuud
Sellout time: 8:11:25 AM Central Time
5lbs, 13oz.
I liked this question, nostalgia and all that.
9.7 (the girl), 8.11 (my *preemie*), and 9.3. I'm always amused that my first child and only girl was the biggest
Dec 1999. 11 pounds 1 ounce. She's an only child.
First one was 8.3. Nurse asked me how big #1 was while I was in labor with #2, then said, 'well this one won't be quite as big'. Nut sure how she came to that conclusion, and I knew she was wrong anyway. My 'smaller' daughter was 8.10...
cebii wrote:I had twins - 6.2 lbs and 5.6 lbs. How does one answer that in the poll?
Same here, only mine were 5.0 and 5.15 but then I also have 2 other children who were both over 7 lbs.
Same issue here. My daughter weighed a little under 5 lbs. But my son was over 7lbs... I voted based on his Weight since he was the most recent.

Reading #1 Joshua Bell, My Maestro
Tags: basic writing
15 Comments »
1. Joshua Bell, main character, an also the narrator of the essay was influenced by music at a young age by his teacher Josef Gingold. Joshua an Josef almost did not meet, for a bomerang accident at Joshua's familys barn, but the accident did not stop Joshua from playing at his recital. He just played wounded. After the recital Joshua enrolled into a music program that Josef taught in the summer. Josef did not teach everything to Jousha he wanted him to learn some things on his own, for he thought that teachers who beat the information into the students would push them away from their goals an dreams. The essay went into Josef childhood an how he played at his school assembly an everyone loved his music. They said it was beautiful. But there was one teacher that thought he should not feel good about himself an hit him in the hand an damaged a nerve. Ever since then Josef did not force or take away from anyones abilies or dreams. When Joshua was 21 years old he moved to New York. He did not see much of Josef, but he knew his health was failing. Josef has a stroke an died two weeks later. Joshua stated "Someday I want to teach too. Gingold's ghost – the autographed photo on my wall hung next to Paganini – wll be watching(83)." Joshua wanted to be just like Josef an teach lessons to others.
2. "Early success can be dangerous for a musician. You hear of prodigies who rise fast and flame out. Sometimes that's because teachers spoon-feed these young people every musical idea. At some point they feel they don't need teaching anymore, so they stop learning(83)." I agree on this quote if a teacher spoon-feeds every little piece of information to you then you will never teach yourself or learn from it. You will always think that there is going to be someone out there to do the work for you. The one thing i liked about the writing was that Josef did not listen to the teacher that disliked him an told him to not feel so good about himself. It showed that he knew he was better then her an just blew her off. That is also the thing i did not like about the writing, why would someone want to put someone down for their own talent. She was jealous of him. Their effect on the reader was to follow your dreams an not let someone bring you down or tell you that you can not make it or not good enough.
Jamielyn: I like the quotation you picked — in general it is good advice whether in or out of classroom to let individuals figure out their own "voice." That is part of good mentoring. Good work.
Here are some things to watch out for when you write your next responses: Take time to proofread and correct spelling errors. There are many many here that almost impedes coherent reading. One way to do this would be to type your text in Word and then proof it there and do a copy/paste to the blog. Also check on run-on sentences–we'll work on this in class as well. Third point, always refer to authors by their last name–So Bell and Gingold, not Joshua and Josef. Thanks. GD
Comment by Jamielyn Clark — August 26, 2008 @ 5:04 pm | Reply
At a young age, Joshua Bell grew an interest in music. Bell's parents wanted to encourage their son and gave him his first violin at age four. The day before his first solo recital Bell was tossing a boomerang in his parent's farm. Unfortunately, the boomerang whirled back and injured his chin, but this injury did not keep Bell from "playing the game". Josef Gingold, Bell's music teacher, helped Bell open his mind to music. "My teacher taught me that music could be more than a hobby". Bell truly admired his teacher, and was willing to keep learning. Mr. Gingold did not teach him how to play the instrument but he helped Joshua build a relationship with music, for Joshua to be able to teach, and learn himself. Bell's teacher made Joshua learn to appreciate his talent, and to push himself to become a better musician.
"My teacher taught me that music could be more than a hobby" , I strongly agree with this statement. If you have the talent, and passion you may as well pursue it. For someone to start at such a young age and still be able to maintain their talent there is no reason to quit after all the dedication you put into it. I also believe that the teacher put a lot of faith into Joshua Bell because he saw a part of himself in Bell's childhood. This reading shows that if you have a passion in anything that you do you should always keep you head up and keeping going for the gold.
Deanna: Good observation – the essay is to a large extent about Gingold's role in Bell's evolution as a concert violinist. Keep practicing summary and response writing. GD

At a very young age Joshua Bell began to love music. He began playing the violin at the age of four. Joshua's teacher, Josef Gingold, was his role model. He looked up to this man very much. But this all might have never happened because the day before Joshua's first solo recital he was playing with a boomerang. His parents weren't happy about that. The boomerang came back and hit him in the chin. Two inches further and his music career would have been over. Joshua's teacher taught him that music was more than just something you did. It was a way of life. "My teacher taught me that music could be more than a hobby".
I agree with the quote "My teacher taught me that music could be more than a hobby". If you love doing something so much, than why not make it a part of your life. He began at a young age and was able to keep the same love for music through out the years. This essay shows that if you love doing something so much, than you should keep doing it. Not give up.

Joshua loved music well before he turned 4. He was given his first violin at four. He took music lessons by a guy by the name of Gingold. Joshua said, "I made my professional debut at 14, playing Mozart's Third Biolin Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra."
I agree with the fact that it is a big thing to play with the Phiadelphia Orchestra and I also know that Mozart is really hard music to play. I did not think the writing was good nor bad. I am not much into music so it was not an interesting subject.I felt the language was very personal and Joshua was very thankful toward his teacher for what he had done for him.
Jennifer: Please use the blog to practice your summary and response skills. It doesn't matter at all whether we "love" or even "like" texts we read. That is a bonus if that happens. We read to learn how to write. Practicing how to summarize will help improve your ability to identify main points. Response writing will allow you to think critically about what you read. So from the next essay onwards, please practice summary and response writing, okay? Thanks. GD

Joshua Bell was born with an interest in music, music that came from a violin. Joshua's parents encouraged him and help him follow his passion but there was one person who made Joshua the person he is today. Joshua reflects on his years growing up and learning from a great legend violinist. At the age of twelve Joshua spilts his chin open with a boomerang but that does not stop him from doing what he loves, playing his violin. Joshua plays at a recital where he meets Josef Gingold by chance and Josef becomes a teacher, a friend and a family member to Joshua. As Gingold and Joshua spend time together they learn more about violin and more about each other. Gingold teaches Joshua to be a kid but also take time for what he loves to do. Joshua grows up with Gingold by his side helping him and just being there for him. Gingold supported Joshua as he got older and started playing bigger recital and Gingold flew to some recitals where he sat in the front row looking very proud of Joshua. Bell takes alot out of this experiences with Gingold and remembers the ghost hanging on his wall, who taught him so much.
Passion, this story makes me think of passion. The passion to do what you love no matter what it takes and to stick with it. I love how Joshua speaks of his relationship with Gingold and how Gingold helped him so much. It was very nice knowing that he had someone who believed in him so much and to help him succeed in what he loved to do. This story makes you think of how just one person can affect your life so much and how they stay with you even after there gone. I agree with Gingold and how he let Joshua be a kid and let him grow on his own but helped him grow in his music. This essay was very inspirational and tells you to follow your dreams and stick with what you love, and if someone is willing to help you let them. You don't know the mark they could leave in your history.
Kiley: Good. I am glad you enjoyed the essay. Keep practicing your summary and response skills. Thanks. GD

Joshua Bell, the author and narrator of the story, had a passion for music and playing the violin. Josef Gingold, his teacher, came into Joshua's life at the age of 12. He was not a normal everyday teacher with a degree in teaching music but he was a professional musician. He was understanding and not pushy. Joshua wrote in this story, "He laughed and laughed, and I left those lessons buzzing." Josef made Joshua feel very comfortable and wanting to go to the lessons.. Josef went from his teacher to his friend to a higher figure that he admired, like a grandfather.
"He laughed and laughed, and I left those lessons buzzing." I agree with this quote completely because it s inspiring. I feel like it is people like him that make people so successful in life. I like this writing because I felt that I would connect with it. Almost everyone has someone that they look up and help them succeed in life. There wasn't anything that I disliked about this writing. I felt that it was good because he wrote it from his perspective. It seems as if he broke up the writing so you could look into his eyes and see what he saw. It was very effective because I could visualize the picture as I read.
Alicia: Good. I am glad you liked the essay. In the next response, work to make your response more directly towards the quote you selected. Why did Gingold's fun approach to teaching music work so well with Bell, do you think? Comment on the ideas and thoughts in the essay, okay? Thanks. GD
Joshua Bell was a young violin musicain that was just like every other kid outside his music classes. Bell loved playing video and one day before his first solo recital he almost never got the chance to meet his future teacher because he was throwing a booerang around and ended up splitting his chin open. He played wounded which was the best thing he could do because his future teacher, Josef Gingold loved what he heard. Bell was luckey when Gingold made an exceptation to teach him because he never thought children. Bell became in love with how much Gingold loved his job and could laugh so easily. Gingold became more of a grandfather figure for Bell and help Bell become the best musician that he could. Bell was there the day before Gingold had a stroke and died two weeks later.
I agree with the statement that "Gingold didn't pull strings to further my career, but I pushed myself." If you aren't willing to do the work yourself then you must not have a great enough interst in pursuing the activity further without being pushed you must not care that much and should find a different activity but that wasn't the case for young musician Joshua Bell he truely loved playing the violin. This short story was an easy read but i didn't find it to appealing to me because I am not into the music aspect of life. This was a very personal story that could teach people to follow your dreams you because you never know where you will end up.
Lisa: Good summary. Keep practicing responding to the ideas and thoughts. It doesn't matter if we personally don't like what we read. We read in order to learn how to write. Address the ideas and respond to them, okay? Thanks. GD

The essay, "My Maestro" Is a story about Joshua Bell and his music
teacher Josef Gingold. The essay was also written by Joshua Bell. Joshua
Bell was a child protégé of the violin, at his young age (he began
playing at the age of four) he was considered extremely gifted. Joshua
had many teachers before Josef Gingold, Josh's parents chose Gingold
because it was important to them that Josh have other interests outside
the violin and Gingold felt the same way. Josef was not your usual music
teacher. In most cases music teachers are very tough and want you to
concentrate on music all the time and always practice. For most
dedicated music teacher music is their life and they feel that their
students should feel the same way. Music teacher are also perfectionist
they usually scold children for doing things wrong. Josef was very
different he taught the children as if they were his own. He saw how
children loved music and wanted to help them be one with the music and
not just do it because you where good at it. He also wanted them to
have interested outside of music because he felt this would make them
better musicians. He wanted them to love music as much as he did.
Joshua loved his teacher he was not just a teacher or just a friend he
was like family to Joshua like the grandfather Josh never had. Joshua
now is in his early thirties and a renowned violinist. I believe in
great part thanks to his teacher Josef Gingold and the love of music he
instilled in him. When Joshua was young he would play for posters of
dead Maestros and Musicians but now he plays for the poster of his
beloved dead music teacher Josef Gingold as a tribute to him so that he
will never forget what he taught him.
To me this essay is a story that shows a great bound between teacher
and student. It shows that not all teachers are there to just teach but
to also have a relationship with their students. Joshua and Josef had
and amazing student/teacher relationship one that turned into a
friendship. I went to a performing arts high school and I know that
music teachers are dedicated professionals who love their work. They
can be tough and demanding but in the end they pass the love of music
onto their students. Last year I studied Joshua Bell's music I did not
know much about him personally so it was interesting to read about
Joshua as a person not just a musician.
Good work, Kyle. I am glad you enjoyed the reading. I enjoyed reading your response. Practice proofreading, okay? Thanks. GD

The story i was required to write about is called "My Maestro" by Joshua Bell. The story is based on a relationship that was formed between a young boy, Joshua Bell, and his mucis teacher, Josef Gingold. Josef was Joshua's music teacher who eventually became more than a teacher to him. At an early age, Joshua was drawn to music. When he was four years old Joshua became interested in the violin instrument. His parents were a great influence on him playing the violin and that is how they chose Josef as his music teacher. Before Josef, Joshua had many music teachers before him, but since they had the same outlook on the backround of music, Josef was the best option to become Joshua's teacher. He was very talented at playing this instrument which would be a very difficult item to play. Josef was a wonderful teacher and pushed Joshua to accomplish his best because music teachers are very often pushy and want their students to do the best they can at their goal. Josef was not only a teacher to Joshua, he soon became like family to him and referred to Josef like he was like a grandfather to him. Joshua looked up to Josef and because of Josef, today Joshua is a wonderful renowned violinest.
In this story i feel very strongly about the relationship that the student and the teacher had. They became like family which every student needs because i believe it would help them achieve their goals more clearly and more efficient than in most cases. Josef did a wonderful job at teaching Joshua which turned out to be a great experience for Joshua. It takes a lot to be a musician and to put up with all the harsh comments students would recieve but in the end it is worth all the hard work and dedication.
Good, Kassie. I am glad you enjoyed the essay. Yes, the changing nature of the master-student relationship is a big part of the essay and the point that Bell is making about teaching. Thanks. GD

In the story "My Maestro", the main character, Joshua Bell was influenced by music at a very young age. His parents gave him a violin at the age of 4, by the time he was twelve years old, he was committed to the violin. Joshua nearly missed his recital due to a boomerang, if he would have missed, he would have never met Gingold. Joshua joins Gingold`s class after meeting him at the recital, and becomes very successful with the violin. Gingold taught Joshua that "Music can be more than a hobby". Gingold never pushed Joshua, and always treated him like family. They grew together, Gingold became the grandfather Joshua did not have.
In relation to the quote above, Joshua Bell proves that music can be more than a hobby. He grew up like every other American boy, playing video games, and enjoying sports, but he also had a love for the violin. He pursued his dreams in playing the violin, he became very successful because he practiced, and had found an excellent teacher. I agree with the quote, music can always be more than a hobby, it is just wither you pursue it to the fullest. This story was a dedication to a great musician, Joshua`s story showed how caring Gingold was. Gingold never had to teach Joshua how to play, he did because he knew Joshua had a love for the violin, and had a lot of potential.
Travis: Yes, a large part of the essay is Bell acknowledging how Bell showed him a profession rather than a hobby. Keep practicing your summary and response skills. Also start proofreading for spelling errors. Thanks. GD

"My Maestro" was an essay written by Joshua Bell, about his life and his experiences with his maestro Josef Gingold. Josef Gingold taught Bell a lot of things not only about how to play the violin but life. He considered him not only his teacher and friend but as a grandfather as well. Gingold never pushed Bell and wanted to live life as a normal kid should. Bell talks about the ghosts that Gingold has on the walls of his house which is referring to all the people have influenced him with his music. Bell states "My teacher taught me that music could be more than a hobby. It could be a life". This quote explains itself in whichever way you want to take it.
The quote I stated above from the essay is a quote I found very true and relatable. You can relate it to anything not only with music but a sport as well. It depends how much passion and dedication you have toward a significant hobby. I completely agree with it, as much time as you want to put into it is determined whether it's a hobby or you life. I really liked the different relations he used in the essay to compare things. I wish they had told more about how successful Bell turned out to be or if he even got to pursue being a teacher just as Gingold was for him. Overall I did like the essay, and I think it makes some readers think about their hobby or sport and realize all of our coaches and instructors and how much they have helped us grown.
I agree–the essay does make us realize how much teachers and coaches influence us. Thanks. GD
Joshua Bell became interested in playing the Violin at the age four. He loved to play a lot of computer games and sports, but he was committed to playing the violin at the age of 12. "When I became Gingold's pupil at age 12, he was already a legend at Indiana University." Joshua loved his teacher Josef Gingold as a grandfather. He was always glad to see him at his concerts when he was there. Also, Joshua was very upset when Gingold had a stroke and died two weeks later. But even after that set back Joshua kept on learning to play the violin and loved it.
I find i quote to be very truthful. Since he was a legend at Indiana University for playing the violin, that must mean he is a great violinist. Which later on in Gingolds life he won a spot in the NBC Symphony Orchestra, and also became Clevelands Orchestra's concertmaster.
Adam: Please select quotes that have some thematic significance to them, okay? The fact that he was legend at the Indiana University is important in what sense to Bell? Explore that idea more fully. I would like to see your responses more fully thought out and developed in the next entries, okay?
Thanks. GD
Joshua Bell, at a young age of four, loved playing the violin. At the age of 12, he was committed to practicing and playing the violin. At his first recital he met a man named Josef Gingold. Gingold liked what he heard from Bell and made him one of his students. In the following years, Gingold was not just any teacher to Bell, he started to be more like a friend and then more towards a grandfather. He never pushed Bell to practice non stop because he wanted him to live the life that a child should. Gingold made music more than just a hobby, he made it his life. As he quotes,"My teacher taught me that music could be more than a hobby. It could be a life."
I agree with this quote. It shows how passionate one can be towards his or her hobbies and how they can be put into a place in your life. If you dont have passion in your hobbies, it wont "become a part of your life." I think that you should love what you do and do what you want to do. Even if it means accomplishing hard tasks.
Yes–Bell's essay is a tribute to a teacher who showed him his profession. Keep practicing your summarizing and commenting skills. Thanks. GD

Joshua Bell loved and had a true passion for music at an early age. By the age of four he was given his own violin. Bell was given the chance to be taught by the one of the greatest violin players in the world, Josef Gingolg. Later Bell and Gingold's relationship grew more than "student to teacher" but as "grandson to grandfather"; they loved eachother as family.
This essay shows a great passion for something only few can master. It also shows the great bond between a student and teacher. It was great to see the relationship and the unique bond because it was so unexpected. I thought it was very big of Gingold to treat Bell as he would of liked to be as a child instead of the harsh things that were done to him.
Good. I am glad you enjoyed the essay. Please proofread for spelling errors, okay? Thanks. GD

The essay "My Maestro" written by Joshua Bell who is also the main character of the story, is about Bell´s love for music and his relationship towards his teacher. Bell was interested in playing the violin already at a young age. His teacher Josef Gingold taught Bell a lot of things. He taught him not only how to play the violin he also wanted him to have a personal relationship with music. Gingold was more than a teacher, he was Bell´s friend and also even as close as a family member. He wanted Bell to have a normal childhood and because of this he did not push him to do anything. Their relationship grew and even when Bell got older Gingold supported him and flew to recitals to see him. Bell learns a lot from his teacher and remembers him as one of the best "ghosts" on his wall.
"He wanted me to have a normal childhood and was secretly pleased when my mother told him I´d spent all day playing video games instead of music." This quote is one of my favorite sentences of the essay. It supports the idea of Gingold not only being a teacher but more the grandfather of Bell. It shows how much Gingold cares about his student and is also interested in their lives. I liked this essay because it was really personal and as a reader I could easily project Bell´s thoughts.
Good. I am glad you liked the essay. Yes Gingold was a teacher who taught the whole human being rather than just a particular skill. Keep practicing your summarizing and commenting skills. Thanks. GD.

Rituals and Worship
Sacred Time
The most auspicious times are the lifetimes of the Buddhas; second in auspiciousness are periods like the present in which a Buddha's religion remains in the world. Fortnightly and annual holidays focus on the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha.
Sacred Space
The sacred geography of the Buddha's north Indian homeland has been recreated in the Theravada countries through shrines that house relics or images of the Buddha or mark events in the history of Buddhism in those countries.
Rites and Ceremonies
Central components of Theravada rituals are preaching and chanting by monastics and giving offerings by laypersons. Rituals include the fortnightly uposatha observance, annual holidays such as Vesakha, and occasional rituals such as funerals and rites for the dead.
Worship and Devotion in Daily Life
Traditional daily observances for monastics include chanting, meditation, and observing the Vinaya. Traditional daily observances for laity are to observe the five precepts and to offer food to monastics, and in recent years meditation and devotional rituals have become regular practices for many laypersons.
The Buddha image, thupa, wheel of the Dhamma, monastic robes and tonsure, bo tree, Buddhist flag, and other Theravada symbols represent Buddhism as a whole. Many of these symbols have characteristic regional forms, but not distinctively pan-Theravada forms.

I look forward to contributing to Calgary's success and being part of a winning team."
Gelinas last played in the NHL in 2007-2008 with the Nashville Predators then spent one season in Switzerland. He later worked for the Predators as their director of player development.
"We are excited to add Marty to our coaching staff," Hartley said in a statement. "As a player, he was known for his incredible fitness and conditioning as well as an unparalleled work ethic. We know that he will bring the same enthusiasm and commitment as a coach …."

rearend swap
can anyone tell me what rearend is in a 81 2500 vandura??and second question is will it fit in a 79 firebird,and if not,can anyone tell me some other cars that would hold a rearend that would bolt up to this car?thx in advance
Last edited by johnnyblaze; 03-04-2008 at 02:01 PM.
Re:rearend Swap
Hi the vandura is about 4 inches wider atleast,l know any trans am, firebird or camaro up to 81 will work. TROY
4 inches wider,that i like,any mods to bolt it up,and is it bigger than a 7.5,because thats whats in my car,and just tryin to make it stronger for free for now,what about the bolt pattern for wheels,i imagine wheels wouldnt bolt from one to the other?would it also have a bigger drum break setup ?would the hookup driveshaft wise be the same?knowing what is in the van for a diff from factory would better help my desicion,i know its an open carrier,but if it is at least an 8.5,i will just mini-spool it till it goes and then spend money for something that can handle my power,thx
Last edited by johnnyblaze; 03-04-2008 at 03:22 PM.
RE:rearend swap
Hi there are 2 rearends that could be in that van, 28 spline 5 bolt 8.5 or 30 spline 8 bolt 10.5, now if you do use the 5 bolt its still not very strong whether you spool it or not, an l'm sure your not putting the 8 lug bolt on, and you said that the 79 firechicken has a 7.5? Well l went to the books for that one because both mine are 8.5, camaro and T/A, anyways they never put anything other than a 8.5 in them from 1970 to 1981, so somethings not right, maybe someone down sized, but not likely! TROY
You should have an 8.5 unless someone removed it!
yes it has been downsized,and i shouldve said that,my appologies,i had a line on the ORIGINAL rear for the car,but that didnt pan out,so now im on my own,so this would be a direct bolt in,is there ANYTHING that i need to know,are the break drums the same size??what about the ebrake setup,is all this gonna be a problem for me?and the bolt pattern,is it the same?cause if not that would mean new rims too,so please,i dont have the manual for the van,and dont want to buy one as it is a junker after i pull the drivetrain,MORE INFO,plz,plz,thx
RE: rearend swap
Hi the van rearend won't fit right in, you'll have to remove the spring perchs in, cut and reweld them, the e-brake lines might be to short, but l'm not 100% sure of this? The brake drums will be atleast a size up and heavier, the bolt pattern will be truck(big bolt pattern), it would be cheaper and easier to get one from the wreckers($100) around here, l know my father-inlaw lives in Calgary an he's always saying that that kind of stuff is cheap there. TROY
very helpful troy,im trying to stay away from gettin one from the wreckers,but seems like it would be way more trouble than an 8.5 is worth to try to put the van diff in the car
now if i can ask,what cars should i be looking to rip a rear out of,that is,if possible,with the least amount of MODS to install in my car,and definately no welding,to find trans am and firebirds ina wrecker yard is virtually impossible around here,so if some info on which diffs would bolt right in(if possible) would be great.whats the smallest on i could get away with,300 natural horse,430 on spray,auto,no stall yet,but planning on 2600 approx,235/50/17
Pretty much the only bolt ins are the camaros and firebirds from 1981 and earlier. I think it is 72-81 that is closest match. Look on craigslist and kijiji, as well as local classefieds. One good way to get parts is find an advertisement by a guy who seems to have a lot of parts for the car, and call him even if he doesnt advertise the specific part you need. If he doesnt have it ask him if he knows anyone who does.
RE:rearend swap
Hi Fiscus hasgot some good ideas, l've use craiglist, to buy and sell parts and cars, you have it in Edmonton and Calgary, its free to put and ad in, it's pretty easy to fine parts with it, maybe a week and you'll have it! the years for camaro, firebird and T/A's are 70 to 81. To but the van one, it will cost you more $ if you don't have the equipment, or skills to do it with! A good 8.5 will handle that power! lf it comes down to it, and your bored or want to go for along drive drop down(11 hr drive about $100 in gas V-8) l got 2 rearends sitting, 1 78 z-28, 1 78 camaro, single tire fire, free for the taking, could put them in and put new diff in later, however, whatever there there. TROY
wow,thats very generous of you,makes me wanna rent a car and take you up on that,my motor will be done in a month,and if i cant find anything in that time,maybe we could make a trade for something that i have,i gotta pair of 302 ford heads out of a car that met the tree gods,there not crap,there actually rebuilt with new guides as well,does that interest you at all,cause i dont believe in takin something for free(unless you joking that is)lol,,get back if your serious
RE:rearend swap
Hi ya l meant it, if a scraper would come get them they'd be gone already, so there worth nothing to me, beside you'd have to pay for your gas,so think of it as your doing me a favor, now there good, just not a posi or limited, l've already got them in the cars, so no use to me, but free's good! TROY

Ever get that FOMO feeling when you see people posting the same thing over and over again? I sometimes do. If a bunch of people I know (and some others that I don't really know in person but are influential online) posts about some cool new gadget, I might just get one for myself even though I don't know how to play any instrument. It's that bad, and I think most of us are subjected to that whenever we access social media sites. Haha. Project Pie is no exception to me.
Kitchen at Greenbelt 3
Little did I know that there exists a restaurant in one of the corners of Greenbelt in Makati. Haha! It was an out of the blue discovery, with my friend dragging me along to this restaurant with the keywords "lots of rice." Haha! My expectations were met, but I didn't expect for it to be served in a huge plate.

Hello all
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone
My name is Ian and live in Swindon in the uk. I have recently purchased a bmw 330i 2001. What a great car and even with 135k on the clock it drives like a dream. The only issue I have with the car at the moment is someone decided it would be a fun to kick off my drivers side wing mirror. I have purchased a used one from eBay in same colour and when trying to replace it found that the mirror has 9 pins instead of the 5 pins I need to connect to my mirror switch. Was going to cut some wires and join them with old switch to see if that works.
At least the mirror is on at the moment but can't move it
It's nice to be on a site and talk to people that have similar cars and love bmw's
