Have you ever experienced paranormal activity (not the movie)?
In high school, my friends mom remarried and he moved into an old victorian house on some back roads. They had barns and all that stuff. When his family was out of town, I was hanging out with him and one of our other good friends. They were sitting on the couch and I was across the room in a chair next to a door that leads to a hallway. We were talking about ghosts and the knob started rattling. He tried telling me it was probably a cat but I was banging on the door and trying to shake the door but the knob did not move. Even if a cat hung on the door knob(unlikely) I don't know how it would turn back and forth like an angry person desperately trying to open the door.
I also grew up with this really hot girl since the age of 6. She told me about ghosts in her house. It was an old Amish house and her brother saw an old man looking over him when he woke up on the couch. She said she saw a little boy sitting in her brothers room on a chair when she passed. And someone kept adding water to their shampoo, they asked each other who was doing it and they all claimed they didn't. Making it last longer is something Amish would do. Seems like a cruel joke if her brother or parents were messing with her. And since she was hot/popular, doubt she'd bother making it up. Who wants to sound like a freak weirdo?
While away in the Army my family moved to a very old house in Alexandria. I came home on leave and they told me that the house was haunted by an elderly lady named edith. I laughed hard and told them there was no such thing and even made fun of her. That night I had a dream my youngest sister was playing in one of the rooms upstairs. When I went to go into the room the door slammed right in my face and I heard this old lady voice say "get out". I blew it off and the next day I had some drinks and laid down on the couch to sleep. I forgot to turn off the dining room light and out of the corner of my eye I saw someone walk by the room and turned out the light. I thought it was my mom, but she said she was upstairs all night.
A few months later I came back home for a holiday weekend. My mother was studying for her nursing boards. She told me that the organ will play on its own and I laughed and told her it was completely bs. The next night she was studying again and we heard a low pitch coming from the organ. I made fun at it and it went from a low to high pitch quickly. I went to turn the organ off and I realized the organ was unplugged from the wall. The next night I was sitting out on the porch drinking some whisky and enjoying a nice early summer night. When I went to go back in the door was locked. I waited until 6am the next day to get in and everyone said that they didn't lock the door.
The next morning I was due to go back to Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri. I got all ready and went upstairs to make sure that I didn't forget anything. I got to the edge of the stairs and it felt like someone kicked me in the back and I went rolling down the stairs. I didn't get hurt or anything but I was the only one awake.
Now that I live in the house with my family we haven't had anything major happen. Right before my ending my military career my mom had a priest come to the house and do the whole holy water and sage thing. The only thing that happended then was the television in my room would flip channels and turn itself all of the way up on its own. When I moved to an apartment all of that stopped with the TV.
I have not and I am not sure what to think about it, but I imagine I believe it can happen. I have always hated horror movies and can be startled easily, maybe the spirits are just having mercy on me.
My grandmother swears that a couple of weeks after my great grandfather died, she was taking an afternoon nap and woke up and my great grandfather was sitting in an easy chair looking at her and smiling. She asked him what he was doing there and he told her that he would always be around to watch her and he was happy that life was working out well for her and told her not to worry about him. She then blinked and he was gone. Personally I think it would be nice to be able to come back after I'm gone and assure a couple of loved ones that I'm fine.
I once witnessed Anthony Johnson scoring 40 points in a playoff game.

There is one final opportunity for manager Ady Pennock to assess his squad's credentials ahead of the Vanarama Conference Premier kick-off with a visit from Arsenal U21s on Tuesday (7pm).
The long wait for the new league season is almost over for Rovers and a clash with the Gunners will act as the perfect final run-out before this coming weekend's trip to Southport.
On Saturday FGR hosted Arsenal's Premier League rivals Crystal Palace who brought a strong squad to Nailsworth.
England international Fraizer Campbell struck a first half hat-trick to earn the Eagles' a comfortable win in front of a crowd of 1,086.
After hosting some highly rated top flight talent at the weekend, boss Pennock is relishing the chance to welcome some of Europe's finest young footballers to The New Lawn on Tuesday.
"We've got some of the best under 21players in Europe coming here. But it's just the name Arsenal coming here that is absolutely fantastic," he said.
"With this season being our 125th anniversary I think it is very fitting to have a club like Arsenal come here.
"It is a massive thank you to them. We'll look after them like we do with every single club that come here, be it a Southport or Arsenal we look after them exactly the same way.
"It will be a good occasion for the fans as it was with Palace coming here."
Places are up for grabs in Pennock's starting eleven for Saturday's trip to the Mersey Rail Community Stadium.
The Rovers manager already has a good idea of the majority of the team that he will take to Southport, however Tuesday's game will offer a number of players an opportunity to stake a claim for a place in the squad.
"There are some players who have worked themselves into the starting eleven for next week and there is an opportunity for the lads who are going to start on Tuesday to do the same," added Pennock.
"I've got a picture in my mind of the team I want to play. But it is not just all about one game.
"There will be disappointed players next Saturday which is what I want. The season is such a hard season and if we can have a cup run that would be fantastic.
"The biggest thing is the league but there is competition so no one is guaranteed their place. I promise you now I am not afraid to put anyone in from that squad."
Team news Steve Arnold will miss out again although the 24-year-old is making good progress on his return from a knee injury. The goalkeeper spent a year with Arsenal in his youth.
Sam Wedgbury picked up a knock on Saturday against Palace so may not be risked for Tuesday's game although he is expected to be fit for Saturday's season opener.
Rob Sinclair has a slight achilles problem but is also expected to be fit for the weekend. Long term absentee Aarran Racine will miss the game.
Opposition The Gunners lifted the FA Cup last season for the first time since 2005 and secured a 4th place finish in the Premier League to secure Champions League qualification for another campaign.
Boss Arsene Wenger has been heavily active in the transfer market this summer. He has attained the services of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona on a deal worth just over £30 million.
Goalkeeper David Ospina, who starred at this summer's World Cup has also joined while 19-year-old defender Calum Chambers has signed from Southampton for £16 million.
However, on Tuesday evening Steve Gatting's under 21's squad, who will compete in the Professional Development League Division Two this coming season, will be travelling to Nailsworth.
The young Gunners squad contains a number of exciting future talents including Sweden under 21 international midfielder Kristoffer Olsson and Jon Toral, formerly with Barcelona.
England youth international Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill is another name to watch as is his defensive team mate Semi Ajayi who has featured in the youth ranks of the Nigerian international set-up.
Tuesday's opponents have been in action three times in pre-season so far and they have already faced one of the club's Vanarama Conference Premier rivals.
Their last outing was on Friday night when they drew 2-2 with Boreham Wood. Arsenal's under 21's ground share with Vanarama South side Wood.
The Gunners youngsters heading for The New Lawn have also hammered Harrow Borough 5-1 in pre-season so far and also defeated Lincoln City 1-0.
Steve Gatting is expected to oversee the young Arsenal side on Tuesday. He made over 50 appearances for the Gunners first team and appeared over 300 times for Brighton & Hove Albion in his senior playing career.
Gatting comes from a famous sporting family. His brother, Mike, is a former England cricket captain while his son, Joe, currently plays cricket for Hampshire and was previously a professional footballer for Brighton and Woking.

Heifers are not cows, especially when it comes to their nutritional needs prior to breeding. Bob Larson, DVM, PhD. Dipl. ACT, Dipl. ACVPM, Kansas State University, told participants at this month's 2013 K-State Cow-Calf Conference that the important difference between pre-breeding cows and heifers is that heifers are still using nutrients to grow and mature in addition to putting on body weight so that they can prepare for breeding.
Larson gave an example of beef heifers weaned on Oct. 25 at 500 pounds. "The target at breeding would be 780 pounds, which is 65% of their mature cow weight (approximately 1,200 pounds) by May 1," he said.
So from weaning to breeding, heifers need to gain 1.5 pounds per day. "While heifers may meet this goal on high-quality green grass, they will fall far short of that gain if grazing dormant forage or fed moderate to good quality hay," he explained.
To get them to gain 1.5 pounds per day, even if good quality forage is available, will require a small amount of supplemental grain or by-product feed (for example 4.5 pounds per day dried distiller's grain). "Often the forage available is moderate to poor quality and heifers on those forages will require even more supplemental feed to meet their gain requirements to reach appropriate breeding weight."
Leading up to the breeding season, the primary difference between growing heifers and maintaining cows that are in good body condition is that good quality forage alone will usually provide appropriate levels of energy and protein for cows, but is not adequate for growing heifers.

Your eyes are two of the most expressive features on your face, and since they work so hard to clue everyone in to how you're feeling, they're often the first to show signs of aging. Luckily, youthful eyes aren't as hard to come by as you might imagine. Here are three simple ways to prevent skin damage around your eyes and put that sparkle back in your peepers.
1. Wear sunglasses. They might be summertime staples, but sunglasses are effective year-round when it comes to protecting the skin around your eyes from the sun's UV rays. After all, it's still shining in December, right? Large frames will give you maximum coverage and prevent you from squinting.
2. Apply anti aging skin cream at night. You probably wash your face and moisturize at night anyway, so taking a couple of seconds to pat on an anti-aging eye cream like Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal shouldn't be a big deal. In as little as 28 days, this product can leave your eyes looking younger and your skin smoother and firmer.
3. Sleep with an extra pillow. According to Allure magazine, sleeping with an extra pillow under your head can prevent fluid from pooling under the skin around your eyes. This can help you sidestep puffiness and dark circles come morning.

As I was searching the internet this week, I came across a blog post by Food Mommy. The post was titled: Agriculture's worst enemies may be farmers. I had never run across this particular blogger before and the title piqued my interest as I have this same thought quite frequently.
In this post, Food Mommy talks about an experience she had purchasing some chickens to produce her own eggs. In search of answers to her questions, the author met with a "backyard" chicken farmer. This particular "backyard" farmer told her the chickens and eggs from small operations were better because they are free of steroids and hormones. As Food Mommy rightly points out in her blog, steroids and hormone use in poultry production has been prohibited in poultry production for decades. Yet, this "backyard" farmer insisted that big chicken farmers still use them anyway. The author of the blog questions whether this "backyard" farmer really thinks she's stating a fact or was it just a case of opportunistic marketing?
I know I come across what you might consider opportunistic marketing tactics all the time. I also consider this to be "fear-mongering" to sell a product. Every time I go to the farmers market, and see the vendors sporting handwritten cardboard signs that read "no pesticides" or "non-certified organic" I roll my eyes. Does "no pesticides" handwritten on a piece of cardboard infer that this product is any different than another product or better? Or does it infer that all other fruits and vegetables contain pesticides? Does it mean that currently right now those vegetables don't have pesticides on them, but they might have? And what does "non-certified organic" really mean?
I think marketing ploys like these only add to the confusion.
One that drives me particularly crazy is when I see farmers use the marketing slogan, "we're a family run company, not a big corporation or a factory farm." I have traveled this country far and wide, been on hundreds of operations in my lifetime, all types sizes and scale, and I have yet to see a factory farm. Who are we all talking about? Last time I checked 98 percent of U.S. farms are operated by individuals, family partnerships or family corporations.
And, of all the farms I've traveled to the size of the farm was not an indicator of the quality of care the animal received. Every farm I've ever been to (big or small) the farmers cared just as deeply about their animals as the one before. Just because farms look different, doesn't mean that the farmers care any less about their animals.
I can't say all of agriculture is blameless when it comes to these marketing techniques, but I do tend to see these types of tactics employed by smaller niche farming operations. I hate to break it to you folks, but we're all in this together.
Why can't we just market our products on their positive attributes, and not at the expense of one another? You may say its capitalism, you can market your product as you see fit. Perhaps it's a utopian idea for everyone in agriculture to be on the same page or working together.
Let me be clear, I don't have any issue with grass-fed, organic, or any other form of alternative agriculture. I truly believe there is a place for every form of agriculture – big, medium, small, organic, or conventional/modern. I love the diversity these niche markets have brought to the table. What I do have an issue with is when farmers, of any size and type, use fear-mongering to push their products.
Spreading misinformation and backbiting within the agriculture industry, while it may seem harmless at the time, only erodes consumer confidence in the entire food system. In the end it hurts us all.
And, if you're a consumer how do you know who to trust?

In addition, Foster will wear a SCRAM ankle bracelet that monitors alcohol intake during his probation, and he will be subject to random tests for drugs and alcohol.
Foster was originally charged with third offense DUI, but one of his prior offenses was outside the statute of limitations.
Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Austen Leighty told the court that Foster was uncooperative during his field sobriety test when he was stopped, and he had to be taken to the jail for a breath test.
Leighty asked for a stiff sentence.
Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull told Foster he would go along with the county attorneys request for a lengthy probation on this because I know you quite well and your prior record.

How to File and Provide W-2s, W-3s, & 1099 Forms – Plus Important Updates for the 2013 Reporting Season
How to File and Provide W-2s, W-3s, & 1099 Forms – Plus Important Updates for the 2013 Reporting Season
It's that time of year again—W-2, W-3 and 1099 reporting season.
The Affordable Care Act has changed things a little this year in terms of the information you must provide your employees on their W2s. Read on for an update and a refresher of other reporting obligations and how to file the right forms.
Reporting Employee Wages and Taxes – What's New on Form W-2
If you paid an employee any amount in wages in 2012, you must issue an annual W-2 form to report the wages, income tax, and FICA tax withholding, along with certain other employment-related payments. You should provide this information to both your employees and the Social Security Administration (SSA).
*New for the 2012 Tax Year* – As a result of the Affordable Care Act, businesses that provide health insurance to their employees are required to report the cost of coverage on employee W-2s. However, in order to allow businesses to update their payroll systems to support this requirement, most small employers are exempt from this requirement for the year 2012. The criteria are as follows:
- If you filed fewer than 250 W-2 forms in 2011, you are not required to report the cost of coverage on 2012 forms (filed with the SSA in early 2013). You do have the option of doing so, if you wish.
- If you filed more than 250 W-2s, you will be required to comply with the new reporting requirements starting with the 2012 Form W-2.
If you are required or choose to report, the amount you report should include both the employee and employer contribution to the healthcare premium so your employees have a view of the true cost of this benefit.
Read more on this topic from the IRS: Employer-Provided Health Coverage Informational Reporting Requirements: Questions and Answers.
How to File Form W-2 and W-3 With the Social Security Administration
As an employer, you must file Form W-2 and W-3 with the SSA by February 28, 2013. If you file electronically, the deadline is April 1, 2013. Here's how to file:
- Electronic Filing – If you have less than 20 employees, you can file your W-2s online and print copies for employees. You'll also need to file Form W-3 form at the same time showing total earnings and taxes withheld for all your employees. To avoid errors, you can verify names and SSNs online to ensure your records align with SSAs.
- Paper Filing – Follow these instructions for filing a paper W-2.
Provide Your Employees with W-2 Forms
In addition to filing Form W-2 and W-3 with the SSA, you'll need to give your employees a copy of their W-2s with a postmarked data of January 31 or earlier. If you filed your W-2s online, these employee forms can be printed out automatically or you can download paper versions from IRS.gov.
Ask your employees to check that all the information on the form is correct. Any errors can be corrected using Form W-2c and Form W-3c.
For forms and updates about W-2 filing requirements, check out this W-2 Wage and Tax Statement Guide on IRS.gov.
Report Payments Made to Independent Contractors on Form 1099
If you used the services of an independent contractor in 2012 (i.e. non-employees), you'll need to report compensation of $600 or more to the IRS on form 1099-MISC (downloadable here) and provide a copy to independent contractors by January 31, 2013.

Always consult a knowledgeable tax advisor in matters of business taxation, as errors and mistakes can result in costly penalties.

Twenty years after the sector began calling for an independent regulator, and less than two years since the whirlwind process began, a Charities Commission is due to commence on October 1. Important details are still being debated.
The Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission is due to commence from October 1. But first, the ACNC Bill currently under review by a Parliamentary Joint Committee and Senate Committee must pass during the September sitting of Parliament.
The Coalition is committed to opposing the bill, so to get up it will have to win the support of the Australian Greens.
Although the Greens have long supported an independent Charities regulator, Senator Rachel Siewert who attended the Committee hearings says she still has a number of concerns with the bill, is seeking advice and is undecided how she will recommend her party colleagues vote.
Liberal Senator Sue Boyce has also been an active participant in the Committee hearings. She was unable to say whether the Coalition would ever support the establishment of the ACNC – even if the problems with the legislation were fixed.
"The benefit – as it has been put to us – if and when it ever comes, would be from the states handing over their powers," says Boyce. "It should be something that comes out of the COAG process, not something that happens and then goes to COAG.".
In its first year of operation at least, while it is consulting with the sector and developing new frameworks, the ACNC will only regulate large, incorporated charities which are currently regulated by ASIC and the ATO. This has always been the plan.
"It's not clear quite what is going to be achieved by it," she says. "The Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission and the Australian Taxation Office are all independent agencies, whereas the ACNC will be a statutory body which will rely on Treasury for all its administration".
While Boyce is correct that ASIC is an independent agency, the ATO and the AASB are in fact both statutory bodies.
"On the basis of everything we hear the big charities are happy but the smaller organisations are not," says Boyce. She was unable to give an example of a smaller organisation which did not want to see the bill passed.
Earlier this week we reported that following a number of amendments to the bill – and despite ongoing concerns about the governance rules, financial reporting framework and thresholds - that there is now broad-based support to see the new regulator be established from October 1. Although Catholic Health Australia is an exception.
"Its the tens and tens of thousands of little clubs that haven't really been involved, except perhaps through a representative third party who still don't feel they've been asked," says Boyce.
"In many cases [the clubs] only raise concern after Members tell them their concerns about the legislation as [the clubs] are not actually aware of it," she says.
It is not unusual for small organisations to be absent from policy consultations, which are typically dominated by large organisations and professional bodies. "But many of the affected groups are not members of representatives groups," says Boyce.
The ACNC will have staggered levels of reporting and governance requirements dependant on organisation size.
"There have been suggestions by a number of witnesses at the Committee hearings that the threshold for large entities should be raised from $1 million to $2 million," says Boyce. The current thresholds have been chosen because they are the same as those applied to businesses under the Corporations Act.
Siewert shares Boyce's concerns about the threshold limits but does not believe it is a serious enough issue to block the Bill as "Treasury and the ATO have demonstrated a genuine intent to resolve it".
That the consultation process and governance rules will be "left to a delegated legislation order which is a disallowable instrument is of much more concern," says Siewert.
While all changes to regulation must be tabled in Parliament for 15 days, unlike legislation, they don't have to be debated - unless a Member raises it. This is rare and it is even rarer for changes to regulation to be disallowed.
"Promises have been made but those don't mean squat under future governments," says Siewert. Stipulating a requirement for a consultation process, even if that process is not prescribed, in the legislation is one possible solution. "There are a number of state based pieces of legislature in utilities that can serve as a model," says Siewert.
The absence of a clear financial reporting framework has been another sticking point. Siewert is confident that Treasury and the ACNC Taskforce will be able to improve it once the Commission is established. "At the hearings [on September 4] it was indicated that they have realised it was inappropriate that the comparative reporting year has already begun and it can be expected they will do something about that," she says.
Maintaining the independence of the sector is a priority for Siewert. "It's a huge concern that there's not enough guidance in the legislation to protect the role of advocacy in civil society," she says.
"Under Howard many non-profits that received government funding or contracts were asked to sign contracts that included 'gag clauses' stating they would not advocate on policy issues," says Siewert. "Under Rudd these 'gag clauses' were taken out".
"But there are currently a number of non-profit health groups in Queensland which are being asked to sign clauses stating they will not get involved in policy discussions," she says.
The Coalition does not have the numbers to block the Bill in the Senate. However Boyce says it has no plans to push for any amendments which would make it better. "It's not our role to fix the government's legislation."

Community Revitalization and Reinvestment Meeting April 20

Board of Supervisors' Community Revitalization and Reinvestment Committee to Hold First Meeting April 20
The first meeting of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors' Community Revitalization and Reinvestment Committee will be held on Friday, April 20, at 12:30 p.m. in Conference Room 232, Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax. The committee was created by the board at its revitalization retreat in December. It will replace the Revitalization Policy Committee.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly pointed to the revitalization and reinvestment in older communities and business districts as a priority during his "State of the County Address" in March. "From commercial renewal to residential infill, revitalization touches so many aspects of the county's core mission: transportation, schools, public safety, the economy, the environment," he said.
An Office of Community Revitalization and Reinvestment to coordinate countywide commercial planning efforts has been proposed in the fiscal year 2008 budget. If approved as part of the budget adopted by the Board of Supervisors at its April 30 meeting, the new agency will be established July 1 as part of the Office of the County Executive.
This high-level coordinated approach will provide a more flexible and dynamic structure to address the needs and opportunities of a changing landscape, explained Connolly. "Revitalization in Springfield, Lake Anne, Annandale and the Richmond Highway corridor is essential if we are to prevent decline and disinvestment in our older commercial centers and neighborhoods," he said.
An 18-member Community Revitalization and Reinvestment Advisory Group was established at the March 26 Board of Supervisors meeting to assist in advancing the revitalization and reinvestment opportunities within the county. Its membership will include community, business and county government representatives. Appointments will be drawn from each supervisor's district, plus two appointments by the chairman; the G-7; Fairfax County's Economic Development Authority and Redevelopment and Housing Authority; the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce; the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association; the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties; and the Federation of Citizens Associations.

The Columbia University Department of Psychiatry is one of the largest in the country in terms of faculty size as well as state, federal, and foundation research support. We are currently among the top ranked in the nation for Psychiatry in the US News & World Report Best Hospital rankings, as well as #1 in psychiatric research funding from the National Institutes of Health. We have extraordinary clinical, educational, and research resources. Our faculty includes over 400 psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and neurobehavioral scientists. Two faculty members, Drs. Eric Kandel and Richard Axel were selected as Nobel Prize Laureates for their work in neuroscience. Clinical facilities and laboratories of the Psychiatry Department are located in a large number of institutions and health care systems. These include New York Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center, the New York State Psychiatric Institute, the New York State Office of Mental Health, and the Washington Heights Community Mental Health Center. The Department of Psychiatry also houses the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, the Mind/Brain Institute, a Howard Hughes Research Institute and the Stanley Center for Applied Neuroscience of Bipolar Disorders.
The Columbia University Department of Psychiatry is located at Columbia University Medical Center in northern Manhattan, part of an urban neighborhood that is ethnically and economically diverse in a city that has been called the capital of the world. The institutions which comprise the teaching facilities of the Department are described below.
The Psychiatry Department provides clinical services at Columbia University Medical Center in programs operated through New York Presbyterian Hospital as well as faculty practice programs operated through Columbia University. The programs are also teaching sites for medical students, residents, psychology interns, and other types of trainees. The inpatient program operates 65 licensed beds providing 1800 adult annual admissions, clinics that provide over 80,000 visits to adults and children, and an comprehensive psychiatric emergency program (CPEP) providing over 3000 visits. The Department operates a day treatment program and intensive outpatient program and a neuropsychology assessment service. It provides comprehensive outpatient and inpatient evaluations of complex patients. It also provides specialty consultative services for Autism, Lyme Disease, Eating Disorders and other disorders. In addition, it provides a full range of substance abuse services.
The New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), established in 1895, was one of the first institutions in the United States to integrate teaching, research and therapeutic approaches to the care of patients with mental illnesses. In 1925, NYSPI affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital, adding general hospital facilities to the Institute's psychiatric services and research laboratories. These facilities were supplemented in 1983 by a 14-floor Psychiatric Research Building, the Kolb Annex.
The NYSPI was further modernized in 1998 by opening of a new hospital building to replace the original one. Overlooking the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge, the new Psychiatric Institute provides a state-of-the art environment for patient care, education, and research. The approximately 320,000 square feet offer space for 60 inpatient beds, 23 specialized outpatient research clinics, educational facilities, and research laboratories. Walkway bridges to and from the Kolb Annex and New York Presbyterian Hospital provide comfortable and efficient all-weather avenues for patient and staff travel within the Columbia University Medical Center.
From the beginning, NYSPI has been at the forefront of psychiatry, making major contributions to the clinical care and understanding of the mentally ill. Through the years, distinguished figures in American psychiatry have served as directors of the Psychiatric Institute. It is now led by a noted academic psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman. The excellence of the Institute is reflected in the rare perfect score received in the most recent hospital accreditation.
The main Presbyterian Hospital structure is the 745-bed Milstein Hospital building, which offers state of the art advanced medical procedures and its critical care capability. Presbyterian Hospital also includes the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, the Harkness Eye Institute, the Sloane Hospital for Women, the Neurological Institute, and the Vanderbilt Clinic. The Allen Hospital, a 300-bed community hospital component of Presbyterian, is located at the northern tip of Manhattan. In total, Presbyterian Hospital has approximately 1,200 beds. Each year, over 46,000 patients are treated in the hospital and approximately 700,000 patients are seen in the outpatient clinics and doctors' offices. The professional staff consists of over 1,100 attending physicians, 500 residents and many clinical and research fellows.
In 1999 Presbyterian Hospital merged with New York Hospital, a Cornell affiliate, to become New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH). In 2005, NYPH was recognized as #7 in the US News and World Report Best Hospitals, and as #2 nationally in Psychiatry.
The Columbia University Medical Center offers superb primary care to the Washington Heights community and also provides advanced specialty care to patients from throughout the country. Psychiatric services at the Columbia campus of NYPH include 50 inpatient beds, an outpatient department with 100,000 visits/year, a comprehensive emergency service with 3,500 visits/year, a child psychiatric clinic, and a consultation-liaison service. Construction on a new inpatient unit was completed in 2002, and new child psychiatry facilities recently opened.
Now part of Columbia University, the College of Physicians and Surgeons was founded in 1767 and was the first school in North America to award doctoral degrees in medicine. 'P&S' has developed extensive new facilities over the past few years, including the Hammer Health Sciences Center - a 20-story structure housing an excellent medical library, amphitheatre and teaching facilities. The medical school is considered to be among the finest in America, and has traditionally been one of the nation's primary sources of practicing doctors and researchers.
This Center, founded in 1945, was the first major psychoanalytic institute to be established in a university medical school. This step was taken with the belief that psychoanalysis and medicine would each benefit through a close relationship, with access to patients, facilities, teaching programs, and research opportunities. The Center is located in the New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Great product By lakota72 on 1/29/2017lakota72 would recommend this product to a friendI really like these timers. I have to say that the directions they give you are a bit over complicated and therefore I actually made a YouTube video on my channel on how to more clearly understand how to operate the timers. Overall though I really enjoy them and have had zero problems with them. I wonder if some of the bad reviews came from people not paying attention to the "On" "Auto" and "Off" functions and there dosing pumps running too long, and or for example dosing at 12:00Pm for the "On" time and setting it for 12"00Am for the "Off" time causing the dosing pumps to overdose! Anyways, I love them!
Only Bad review I can give on BRS By Golden Pond on 1/14/2017Golden Pond wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI hate doing this, but I bought two of these and both don't work right out of the box. Programing is easy enough, but they just don't work.
Worked until they died By glxtrix on 4/10/2016glxtrix wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBought 2 of these and they worked great for about a year and both died. Also both plugs are on the same switch. Would be nice if they were separately controlled.
Died after 1 year By Zac on 2/5/2016Zac wouldn't recommend this product to a friendWhile this product was nice while it lasted, it simply died after a year. It was running a single mixing pump for my mixing station and it just flat out died. No longer turns on. Reading around it seems I'm not the only one who seems to have had the issue. Avoid this product to avoid tank failure and wasting money
Junk timer By JdubsAquatics on 7/17/2015JdubsAquatics wouldn't recommend this product to a friendDefective right out of the package. I almost trusted my tanks with this! I should have read the reviews first. Don't waist your money on this
I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it By Jdubs on 6/30/2015Jdubs wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI ordered one for my dosing pumps and it was defective out of the package. I wouldn't trust it with my system. Also if you are thinking about buying this because it has 2 outlets be warned that they are controlled by the same timer so you need one for each dosing pump. There are better timers for cheaper out there
Not for Dosing pumps By Sherri on 5/3/2015Sherri wouldn't recommend this product to a friendWorked fine until i had to change the dosing schedule. It then stuck on..I double checked the schedule and nothing was wrong with the settings. Total tank wipe out due to it being used for alk...and out of town...quite a mess. I would find a more reliable timer to use for a doser.
Not as expected By Doug on 3/31/2015Doug wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe Product is fine but not what I expected. I Was hoping that you could set the timers for each individual outlet but it's on and off for both.
Excellent Product! By Dimitri on 3/26/2015Dimitri would recommend this product to a friendFor me they work fine they do what I want, I wish they could have setting for every outlet just like the other timers. they are easy to set-up and work fine I have bought 3. I do recommend them.
Awesome timers By michelle on 1/23/2015michelle would recommend this product to a friendI have been using 2 for our business for a few months. little trouble figuring out. but, once you got it, they work awesome. lots of day varietys!

Olivetta S. Michele ~ Côte d' Nez
The circular driveway up to the Mansion on Turtle Creek wasn't crowded. No snaking line of cars waiting for a valet. More like a deserted main street in a Western town, waiting for the gunfight to start. It was a serene evening in the twilight, not unlike one I'd had just days before on a mountaintop on the Italian Riviera. There, wild herbs shimmered, waiting to become an essence for perfumes, some of which we were about to experience.
Inside the newly enhanced entry of the Mansion restaurant, class and luxury oozed from the walls and polished marble floors. Textures of circles and squares distinguished the space, as if one were entering into a three-dimensional checker game. The genial maitre'd, Brian Perry, greeted us as if we were his neighbor. Upstairs, the scent scholar, Chandler Burr, had collaborated on a dinner paired with aromas. A master class for the nose.
This evening had been planned as a feast for the senses, with scent being the headliner. But make no mistake, the Mansion on Turtle Creek is a visual, audible and textual experience as well, reincarnated after divorcing what seems a now-dated Southwestern mode. A few miles away, at another property, folks who want to relive their heyday, along with the requisite cotton candy hair and Goodyear boobs, are welcome to wait in the parking line and take their chances. The Mansion has moved on. A little New York, a touch of Paris, a sense of Milano, but Dallas to the bone. A Class Act.
I hope somewhere Chandler Burr's parents are proud of their child, even if he hasn't become the international economics expert they might have envisioned. And though he might seem to be wound tight, it is a necessary measure. There is so much potential, so much promise in the man, that it must be doled out carefully, like a perfume essence. He has the gift of gab in at least four languages - English, Italian, French and Japanese. And does he know how to sell. Burr is the perfume critic for The New York Times, which he admits is a first. But he also says that if he hadn't met Luca Turin, a man he calls a genius of smell, he wouldn't be here tonight. On a Eurostar train from England to France, he sat next to Turin, a Frenchman of Italian origin, and they engaged in an intense conversation all the way to Paris. Along the way, Burr had already decided he would write a book about Turin, and so the journey wasn't over at the train station. That book, The Emperor of Scent, is a must-read for anyone who is fascinated with the subject of smell. Burr is so damn good at what he does; he has you reading scientific formulas like they were passages in a romance novel. Every writer must envy him for his talent.
As the guests arrived, Roederer Champagne was being poured and light fluffy apps were floating off the trays. Burr was greeting us with an excitement that was contagious. Over in the corner of the room, the scents we were going to guzzle were ready like beauties in line for the bathing suit competition. There were essences of aromas, some very rare. Along with them were famous perfumes to show the final product and scent strips to convey the sensations. All very organized - heads up, chests out. The bathing suits would reveal gorgeous, one-of-a-kind beauties.
The courses, revolving around scents, were:
First course – Salt
Second course – Carrots and Ginger
Cocktail Course- Cedar infused Martini ( absolutely brilliant)
Third Course – Saffron
Fourth Course – Pepper
Fifth Course – Pineapple, Mango and Coconut
Sixth course – Cotton Candy, Vanilla and Chocolate
The fascinating aspect to this dinner was how Chandler Burr assembled individual aromas from their essences, then showed a perfume that corresponded with their comingling. Then Chef John Tesar and staff ingeniously matched them with food and wine. It was as brilliant as the checkered floors and circle paintings downstairs. What seemed, at first impression, to not match appeared as a new expression, a unique pattern.
My favorite course was the dessert, really a brilliant arrangement of perfumes - Missoni by Missoni and Black Orchid by Tom Ford - with a very blue ice cream and cotton candy, select textures of chocolate with vanilla aromatics. To this they added the perfect glass of wine, a Brachetto, Rosa Regale, red and bubbly.
And while the dinner seemed a little long to some, I found the evening magical. Great food and wine with an engaged and charming speaker, mixing up distinct elements to make new arrangements. In the foodies' world, this comes along as rarely as white truffles from Alba. And though I had just gotten off a plane from a time zone seven hours and thousands of years removed, this was captivating stuff. No way was I going to surrender to jet lag.
Let the ritzy rattlesnakes duke it out, down off the mountain top. Pass me a snifter and some Chanel No. 5. I'm staying up and watching the sunrise.

Paper shredders come in handy for many different reasons. The first, and most important, is privacy and protection. However, there are many other reasons that people use paper shredders. Getting rid of clutter and excess paper is an excellent example of why a paper shredder comes in handy. Another great reason is to recycle any unwanted paper that you may have. You may be thinking "How can you possibly recycle paper that has been shredded to small strips?" Well the answer is very simple, by using the paper shreddings to your advantage. These five uses for a paper shredder are reason enough to start saving your paper shreddings.
1. Pet Beds- The pet beds that you purchase in the store, don't always last very long. Most of them are simply fabrics covers over Styrofoam beads. After awhile, the beads become flattened and therefore the bed is no longer comfortable for your pets. When this happens, you could be stuck sharing your bed with some uninvited guests. Instead of having sleepless nights, stuff the pet bed cover with your leftover paper shreddings. They will provide a thick and comfortable bed for your pet without you losing yours.
2. Fire Starter- Do you enjoy going camping? Or even just sitting by a fire? Then use your paper shreddings to get the fire started quickly.It is safe and a cheaper alternative to purchasing the fire starting logs.
3. Packaging Material- We all have to mail packages at some point and everyone has experienced a box that was too big for the items it carried. To protect the items from getting damaged while shipping, fill the empty space with paper shreddings. They will not only fill up any unused space, but will also create a barrier from any unwanted damage.
4. Gift Bags- Don't waste your money on tissue paper, use the shreddings from your paper shredderinstead. It is not only practical, but it gives your present a unique flair.
5. Compost- Add the paper shreddings to your compost to help your plants grow. This is especially helpful for greens.
So the next time you shred all of your confidential documents, think twice before emptying the waste basket. Those paper shreddings could definitely come in handy.
Shopping for the Best Air Mattress
For about 5 years in my life, I had to do a lot of moving and even a bit of travel. The longest I've stayed in one residence was for 1.5 years. I lived in small houses, homeowner's attics, apartments, and cramped studio rooms. While traveling, I chose the smallest room possible, most of them with uncomfortable (or questionable) beds. While space may have been tight, one thing I never suffered from was a good night's rest.
The stress of constantly moving, going to college, working, and the occasional travel can take a toll on someone's well-being. Thankfully, I don't look back at those days as being a horrible, stressful time, and I attribute most of that to having restful sleep every night, thanks to my handy air mattress.
My air mattress lasted me many years. I took it with me everywhere, and saved a ton of money by not having to rent trucks to move a huge traditional mattress, as well as being able to stay in smaller apartments due to not needing so much space. Even if no one place was ever "home" for me, my air mattress helped bring that feeling of security and stability since that never changed, regardless of my surroundings.
Possessions, relationships and jobs came and went. However, my investment in a quality air mattress was easily the best decision I ever made. Even today, I keep an extra one on hand for those nights where we have overnight guests, or certain days where I need extra firmness my traditional bed can't cover.
The air mattress you choose today has to satisfy strict requirements. After all, this is your health and quality of sleep on the line! The ability to easily inflate and deflate to adjust to your desired firmness at any time is crucial. Without enough spine support, you can wake up with aches and pains, and it can negatively affect your sleep quality.
A convenient travel bag makes it simple to deflate, fold up and go in a matter of minutes. Time is of the essence for all of us, and shaving off minutes to pack up and go is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. A good travel bag is waterproof, sturdy, easy to carry and fits in any suitcase or duffel bag.
Depending on your usage and lifestyle, the initial investment in a quality air mattress will pay for itself in as little as a few weeks. It's great for singles, those living frugally, travelers constantly on the go, backpackers, and students.
SimplySleeper air mattresses and air beds are the perfect companion for any of the above, and are great to have around the house for anyone else. Have lots of overnight guests? Move a few furniture and inflate a comfortable SimplySleeper for a sound night's rest. Staying at a motel overnight for a business trip, but prefer not to sleep in a previously occupied bed? Use a lightweight SimplySleeper air mattress, adjusted just for your desired firmness and comfort.
SimplySleeper air mattresses are simply the best in the industry. With such benefits as the below, you'll wonder why you ever went without:
Available in a wide variety of sizes and all constructed with heavy-duty polyester Durmothane technology for the ultimate in breathable fabric and comfort that adjusts to your body temperature.
You can turn any room into a cozy chamber of slumber quickly and economically with a quality SimplySleeper air mattress. They will meet and exceed your expectations for the quality of sleep you deserve, even from a convenient air mattress.
When you're out shopping for portable audio speakers, it's hard to know which one has the best quality AND won't put a hole in your wallet. There are so many brands, models, and features that could easily overwhelm anyone shopping for new speakers. However, once you try out the SimplyVibe V5-BT1, you'll never have trouble shopping for speakers again.
The SimplyVibe V5-BT1 portable speakers are the newest model that have been introduced on SimplyGlobo's website. One of the best features of this product is that it is Bluetooth which means it can hook up to your laptops, smartphones or tablets without dealing with any cords or plugging anything in. It's very simple to pair your device with the speakers and the instructions are user friendly and straightforward. Once your device is paired up, all you have to do is choose a song and hit play! You can control the volume as well as switch songs from either your own device or the speakers which I find very convenient. These amazing speakers can play up to 18 hours on medium volume without needing a charge, so you don't have to worry about charging it all of the time. The speakers aren't the only thing that can be charged; in case your phone battery is about to die, you can use the included USB and charge your phone using the speakers. That's a very special feature that you won't find on a lot of portable speakers. Also, if you're using your smartphone to listen to music and you get a call at the same time, you can answer the call using the product as a speakerphone! It takes one press of the button and you can talk to someone straight from the speaker and then go right back to listening to your music. After learning about all of the unique features of the SimplyVibe V5-BT1, I hope this helps make your shopping experience a lot less stressful! Happy shopping!

Batkid gets first-pitch honor at Giants' home opener
SAN FRANCISCO -- Batkid's return to the scene of one of his famous triumphs highlighted the annual pregame pageantry Tuesday during the countdown to the Giants' home opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Last Nov. 15, Miles Scott, a 5-year-old whose cancer remains in remission, was allowed to portray Batkid, an associate of comic book superhero Batman. The Make-A-Wish foundation, which strives to fulfill the desires of seriously ill children, combined with the city of San Francisco to set up events in which Batkid saved the day. His feats of derring-do made him an instant hero locally and drew nationwide attention.
Batkid ended his series of heroics by speeding to AT&T Park to rescue Giants mascot Lou Seal, who had been bound by heavy rope.
This time, Batkid made a dramatic entrance through the gate in the left-field corner 10 minutes before the game's scheduled start. Through a puff of white smoke came the Batmobile, with Miles in tow -- and full Batkid costume. The Batmobile crept toward the Giants' dugout, briefly interrupting right-hander Tim Hudson's warmups. Once in front of the dugout, Batkid emerged from the car, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd, and was led to the mound by Giants starter Matt Cain. Batkid went into his windup and flung the ceremonial first pitch to Cain, who crouched halfway been the mound and home plate. Though Batkid's toss was a ground ball, he displayed admirable form.
Batkid then returned to the Batmobile and acknowledged fans as the car traveled the circumference of the warning track on its way out of the ballpark.
Earlier, the Giants honored club employees who passed away since last year's opener, with a moment of silence. Their names were shown on the scoreboard along with that of Jerry Coleman, the San Francisco native and San Diego Padres broadcaster who died in January. An enormous American flag, spanning virtually the entire outfield grass, was unfurled as Sebu Simonian of the indie pop duo Capital Cities performed "The Star-Spangled Banner."

A motorcyclist was killed after a collision with a sport utility vehicle in Clearfield on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Clearfield Police Department, the 22-year-old Roy man, whose identity was not released, turned onto 700 South (SR-193) from a southbound Interstate 15 offramp and collided with a black SUV driven by a 33-year-old Pleasant View woman. The SUV was making a left turn onto 700 South from a gas station parking lot located on the corner of 1350 East and 700 South at the time of the collision.
The 22-year-old man was injured fatally and the driver of the SUV was treated on scene and released. Police say speed may have been a factor in the crash. It was unknown Tuesday afternoon whether drugs or alcohol were involved. The crash is still under investigation, police said Tuesday.

Formerly known as Rangoon, capital of Myanmar, book a flight to Yangon with Qatar Airways and revel in a city of glittering gold pagodas and ancient temples .The city is a heady mix of Chinese, Burmese, British and Indian influences, which have all left their mark on its amazingly varied architecture.
From Mongol invaders to modern high rise office blocks, Yangon is a city of contrasts. Fly to Yangon and experience a taste of the Far East in all its vibrancy and brilliant colours.
On any trip to Yangon the most important monument to see is the Shwedagon Pagoda on the top of Singuttara Hill. At night it's lit up by floodlights, and four covered walkways lead up to it. The Maha Ganda Bell was left by the British after the First Burmese War because it was too heavy to take away. The Defence Services Museum is also worth a visit.
The National Museum is another must-see, as on your trip to Yangon you'll want to find out about Myanmar's history and culture. It houses many Burmese artefacts, including the last Konbaung Dynasty regalia.
To get a good idea of real, daily life in and around the city on your trip to Yangon, hop on the Circular Train. This is a British colonial style train that will take you on a three-hour journey of the city and its suburbs. Also take the Dallah Ferry across to a traditional village, enjoying watermelon and tea on the way.
For a spot of Burmese culture, the National Theatre hosts special dance displays. There are also nightly shows in traditional dress at the Karaweik Palace.
There are many Thai, Japanese, Western and Korean restaurants in Yangon, reflecting the multi-ethnic nature of the country.
Chinese and Indian cuisine is especially prominent, and also venues that specialise in traditional Shan dishes. The local Bamar food is extremely pungent and is served with rice and raw vegetables.
When travelling to Yangon for shopping, visitors are usually after precious gems, handicrafts and clothes, and there is plenty of all three to choose from.
There are lots of different vendors selling souvenirs in Chinatown, and Bogyoke Aung San Market is good for handicrafts such as lacquer ware and wood carvings. Finally, for Burmese antiquities and gems, head for Shwedagon Pagoda.
Flights to Yangon land at Yangon International Airport (Mingladon).
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Yangon please check the visa and passport requirements.

Quickly Shaping Cookies
Instead of scooping up cookie dough one teaspoonful at a time, pat dough into a rectangle on a baking sheet and freeze until almost solid. Slice the rectangle horizontally and vertically at even intervals, forming a grid. Pick up and roll individual pieces for baking. —Maxine B., Mt. Gilead, Ohio When making a small batch of chocolate chip cookies, I line a 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and then spread the entire batch of dough in the pan. After it's baked and has cooled for 5 minutes, I cut the giant cookie into squares with a pizza cutter. This method cuts prep time and cleanup time! —Pat M., Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

2. Do not request a personal e-mail response. Since I get thousands of questions each month, trying to answer them all would cut deeply into my leisure time, which I value more than your current state of confusion.
3. Try to spell at least in a semi-correct fashion. If you choose to mangle the English language, expect no mercy from this quarter. You might be mocked severely.
4. Do not ask for me to send you copies of my many manuals and literature. I am not in the library business, nor do I want to spend the bulk of my day at the copy machine just because you're too lazy to ask your dealer, or look around a bit.
5. Don't bother me with truly stupid questions, like how to get 50 more horsepower for a buck and a half
6. Now that you know the rules, think carefully and have at it!
Oh yes Ill leave your e-mail unedited, for what its worth.

Dear Mr. Hunky,
I semi restored a 78 440 Maico to race ahrma and I put a Mikuni on it. I can't get the jetting right to save my life. Please give some sort of idea including correct needle, jets , etc. I live in Southern Ohio. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Jeff Anthony
For a 38 mm Mikuni, give this a try:
Pilot 50
Slide 2.5
Needle 6FJ6
Needle Jet Q8
Main Jet 350
hi guy's
i have restored a 1980 yam dt-175 enduro. it's basically stock with the exception of a 2nd over wiseco piston kit. i'm running 92 octane supreme pump gas mixed with amsoil interceptor 2 stroke oil at 32:1 and live about 50 feet above sea level. elevation would range between 50 - 300 ft above sea level depending where you are riding. the carb is the stock mikuni with the non adjustable mixture screw and fixed needle, i think a vm 24ss. while it runs decent and makes good power, it's nowhere near as smooth and chrisp as it should be. the plug is clean and dry but indicates slightly lean jetting. is there any way to adjust this carb, or should it be replaced? what jetting would you recomend?
mike mckinley
Judging by your description of the plug, it seems the jetting is just a little off. First, try fiddling with the slide needle, and raise it one notch. Then go up one size on the pilot jet, followed by the main. You didn't say what jet sizes you are running, so I couldn't advise you on the correct jet. To be safe buy about five pilot and main jets in increasing sizes. Also, get rid of the non-adjusting slide needed and raise the slide needle one notch. A motorcycle salvage shop should have a good carb from which you can cannibalize parts.
You can also re-adjust the idle speed air correction jet (that's covered with a zinc slug you can pry out with a scratch awl) that affects the mixture up to about 1/4 throttle. After that the pilot jet then the main jet takes over (the main jet is only used at the last 1/4 of throttle at high engine speed).
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Matt Cuddy
Hi Rick,
Congratulations on new book, and its a coincidence, but I located a 1969 DT1S MX. I am being told it is extremely rare. I am told only 1200 produced.
I have to go pick it up next week. Do you have any history on this model?
Rob Phillips
Your 1969 DT1 MX I take it has a white or copper-colored gas tank, right? Anyway, the DT1MX was a stripped GYT kitted (Genuine Yamaha Tuning) 250 Enduro. The GYT kit comprised of:
A single ring racing piston
A high-compression cylinder head with a center plug hole
A special ported cylinder with cleaned and matched ports done by hand at the Yamaha factory.
A 32mm Mikuni flange carb & special intake manifold & air cleaner boot. An expansion chamber with a six-inch-long stinger (no silencer)
The 250MX, with suspension mods was a fast, reliable dirt bike that embarrassed many trick, European-mounted riders back in the day. If you stretched and lowered the frame it became a real handler, and in the right hands nothing could touch it cross-country (desert races, hare and hounds, poker runs, etc).
Good luck with yours. Speed & Sport in Philadelphia is the place for parts btw.
Matt Cuddy
Rick and Matt,
Thanks for your help.
I finally got the DT1 and turns out the owner left out the F in frame number.
It is a 1971 DT1MX after all. Someone stuck a tail light mirror on it making it confusing. We do have an enigma. The engine number although has number matching frame the F is missing.
Rob Phillips
I have a Mikuni carb on a Rotax 462 snowmobile engine. I took it apart to clean as it had been sitting for several years. Prior to the cleaning, the engine would start and run with the choke on. Now I get a little firing, but it does not run. I do get fuel dripping out the exhaust. Any ideas as what to do?
Ian Garber
Chances are that you have the leaking float needle in the carburetor. This is a small piece that wedges itself closed when the gas level and the global gets properly high. If that is worn, you're going to get fuel dripping from the carb and into the engine itself.
I hope all is well. Its been 12 years since I last posted....the PE400 and TS400 have been traded and swapped. Many things have changed, but my interest in building rat bikes has not.
Reading your 2T into late model chassis series has revived that old feeling. Thanks for not retiring yet.
Ive got several late model chassis donors...and Id like to know your TOP 10 best air cooled 2T powerplants so I can begin my hunt for engines.
Riding would be in east coast woods, quad width trails if that matters. Maybe twice a year.
With your response I will begin diving into yellow-jacket poison ivy infested boneyards to begin the journey...
Many thanks.
What is your favorite t-shirt to wear when beer drinking in public?
Did you MIG or TIG weld your pipe together for the 2T into late model 4T chassis?
Yours Truly,
Travis Murphy
My favorite shirt is a Maico T-shirt in warm weather and a Maico sweatshirt in cold weather. Regarding welding, I've been MIG welding for years.
Your question posed some very interesting thoughts. I talked with Matt Cuddy about this, and he had some ideas of his own on what would make a great air-cooled two-stroke powerplant. We decided to break this down into big motors, midsize motors and even small motors, just to give you a choice.
1. 1983 Maico 490. No doubt about it, the number one motor of all time is the 1983 490 Maico. I have one of those beasts in my garage and it is equipped with a large Mikuni carburetor. This way, it pulls harder down low than the stock Bing carbureted bike and still has all of the midrange and top end that you expect in this motor. It pulls from incredibly low revs, through a staggering midrange and a top end that will curl your socks up. Until you have ridden one of these bikes, don't even talk to me about how fast the new 450 strokes are. I have gone out and drag-raced new Kawasaki 450s and pulled them badly.
2. 1981-82 495 KTM. A close runner up to that 83 Maico would be the 495 KTM. It was another brute that had unbelievable low end power and a ferocious mid range. It did not pull as high on the top and as the Maico, but was as fast almost everywhere else.
3. 1981 490 Maico. While not quite as fast as the 83 motor, the 81 490 is still a favorite for vintage motocross racers. It has great low end power, plenty of midrange and revs out nicely. Most racers prefer the 81 over the 83 just because it's easier to ride and not anywhere near as terrifying as the 83. You can't really go wrong with this motor if you can find one, as they're hard to come by.
4. 1980 Yamaha YZ 250. For folks who love mid-size engines, this particular YZ motor is a real eye opener. While it didn't have a tremendous amount of low end power, it had a phenomenal midrange spread of power for a 250. It didn't have all that much on top, but the midrange was wide and if you used the six speed gearbox properly with the power, it was just about unbeatable in its class at that time. Even today, you have to classify it as a fantastic motor.
5. The 1981 YZ 465 was a real brute. It revved rather quickly and you had to pay attention to the burst of power or you could find yourself in real trouble, but it did have great power throughout the range. Many of the open class works bikes patterned their power band after this particular motor. With just a few simple mods, there was even more power available and it would rev to the moon.
6. 1973 CZ 400. The so called radial CZ was a virtually bullet proof motor. We heard about racers who went three or more years on the same set of rings. While the chassis may have been a bit dated compared to the other bikes available at that time, you could not beat the radial 400 for reliability. It had good power throughout the range, but not overwhelming power. Riders who put big Mikuni carbs on the bike and more modern ignition systems were rewarded with even more muscle from that power plant.
7. Most any Yamaha 250 DT1. After much talking, Matt Cuddy and I agreed that the Yamaha DT1 250 motor deserved a slot in this lineup. While it was not the fastest motor available at the time, it lent itself to all manner of cheap hop-ups and still retained a phenomenal amount of reliability. All of this at a low cost. Truly a remarkable all-around motor.
8. Just about any 100 cc Hodaka/Fuji motor. If you're looking for small motors that fit your requirements, you have to think about the Fuji motors that went into the late 60s and early 70s Hodakas. These inexpensive little powerplants were simple, reliable and very easy to hop up.
9. 1983 Honda CR 480. The last of the air cooled big bore Honda motocross bikes was the 480. This bike was very fast, although it was a little bit hard to ride, as the power came on very abruptly. It was a fairly reliable engine and it too responded to modifications that turned it into a genuine brute.
10. 1975 Bultaco 360 Pursang. Matt Cuddy absolutely demanded that this motor be included in the list. While I never spent a lot of time on that particular bike, Matt raced it for years and never had a spot of trouble with it. He swears by that particular motor, so here it sits in that list of all-time great powerplants.
Hey Rick,
Been a big fan of yours and Dirt Bike for years. I cherish my, autographed by you, hard back copy of Monkey Butt I got from you back in the 90's at the Adelanto Grand Prix. Also have the B to V poster I got from you hanging on my garage wall.
Earlier this year my 01 XR650R bit me good; all kinds of broken bones, collapsed lung, etc resulting with a hospital stay.. Having had lots of time to ponder my riding addiction, I'm thinking its time to get something a little lighter, more nimble and something with that special little button on the bars. Don't get me wrong, I love my BRP and am not getting rid of it; it's plated and loaded with all kinds of goodies, from XRs Only, Baja Designs, Scotts and ESP. That said, I got the itch.
On to my question: I know nothing of the new 450's and wanted to get your thoughts. If you were in the market for a new 450 which would you choose? I am a fairly experienced rider on the wrong side of 40, 6'3 at 215 lbs. No interest in motocross, just wanna chase my buddies across the Mojave Desert and trail ride with my kids.
Thanks in advance for your response and keep up the good work!
Saugus, Ca
I'm not a fan of the new four-strokes because they're nothing more than hand grenades with a short fuse. However, I found that the KTMs last longer than the average Japanese bike.
Hi Rick,
How's life treating you down there in sunny Arizona? Still racing that 1983 Maico 490? Kind of wish we still lived down there in Phoenix, instead of up here in Seattle. Just had a quick question for ya though. Can you provide accurate porting diagrams, timing specs, and compression specs, to make a 1973 501 run like you describe in your recent article? Or maybe recomend a shop that could accurately do the job? You kind of created a bit of , how should I put it, " bench racing discussion", with that one! But me being the stubborn type I am, want to give this a try if possible. Will do a before and after dyno run, on a modern Mustang eddie current dyno.
Joe Nelson
I regret to say that I don't have those specs anymore and the years have made the memory a bit fuzzy on what was done. I do recall, however, that the magnesium type 55 Bing carburetor made huge gains in horsepower. I also seem to recall that we bumped the compression up a bit, took about 10mm out of the head pipe, added three quarters of an inch to the belly and made the stinger a bit longer. Sorry I can't be more specific.
Hi i have both bikes from 1973/4 they have a GEM inlet is this from the
period? if so can you send me some info as have a scruiteneer here that
needs proof before i can ride
hpe u can help
No problem at all. In the November 1974 Dirt Bike magazine on pages 21 and 23, there are ads for GEM inlets for Elsinore's listed. That should take care of any questions you have.
My new book, THE LAST RIDE, is at now out. It's fiction and starts in 1969, when an 18-year-old kid just out of high school gets a chance to ride his Yamaha 250 DT1 from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles all off-road. His adventures are truly amazing.
The book then jumps 40+ years where the same person, now in his 60s, wants to get that old Yamaha back in his possession and return it home by riding it all off-road across the country again.
The book is $15 plus $2.75 for mail anywhere in the US (or $5 for Priority Rush mail) and for more information, the email is: email@example.com.

Air Mattress Buying Guide
You may wonder why some air beds on the market can vary so greatly in prices. You may have seen a queen size raised air bed selling for under $50 on Amazon.com or Walmart stores and some models that cost around $200. The main reason for this great difference in price stem from 4 key main factors.
1) Material
There are a few different plastics that can be used to make air beds:
2) Gauge of Material
Besides the material used, the gauge or thickness of the material is important. A gauge of under 0.4mm is more likely to tear under the weight of an average adult. A higher gauge for each of the three material will help make the bed last longer, but a higher gauge for Vinyl and PVC doesn't mean it's more durable than a lower gauge Laminiated Polyester on PVC.
3) Built-in Pumps
Air beds that are inexpensve will likely come with an external pump or no pump at all. When an air bed comes wtih a built-in (or integrated) pump, it is easier to use as you won't have to attach anything to it. SimplySleeper air beds all come with pumps that requires only a turn to inflate or deflate. Also the pumps are factory sealed tight together with the bed so leaks are less likely to occur.
4) Coil Design
The construction or pattern of the coil on top of the bed also can increase the durablility and comfort of the air bed. Most inexpensive beds have sparse or standard coils that do not require much production time. The less coils the bed has the less structurural integrity it has. This means that if you sit on the side of the air bed you will likely slip off right off. Also the coil can provide more chambers inside the bed which provides more support for your body.
When shopping for an air bed, pay close attention to these specifications and not just price alone and you will find the best bed for your needs.

Big plays made the difference in host Milpitas High's 34-19 win over Sequoia in the Central Coast Section Division I semifinals Friday.
And the biggest plays of all were turned in by one of the biggest players on the field.
Vita Vea is listed at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds. An all-Mercury News selection on defense as a junior, Vea also gets spot duty at running back. He made the most of his opportunities Friday, running 40 yards for a touchdown the first time he touched the ball and 25 yards for another touchdown the second time he handled the ball.
"Actually I've gained some weight, I'm 300 now," Vea said.
Milpitas advances to play San Benito for the CCS Division I championship Dec. 1 at Independence High.
"I really enjoy running with the ball, it's a great experience," Vea said. "My linemen gave me great blocks and (fullback) Brandon Sualua gave me great blocks. (Running backs C.J. Reyes and Squally Canada) help me a lot because it's all new to me."
Milpitas had its season end in the CCS semifinals last year, losing to eventual Division I champion Serra.
"I'm proud of the fact we're here," Milpitas coach Kelly King said.
Milpitas (9-3) set the tone early. After an exchange of turnovers Milpitas wide receiver Tre Hartley got behind the Sequoia secondary and Reed hit him perfectly in stride for an 85-yard touchdown.
Sequoia took advantage of good field position after the ensuing kickoff and drove 40 yards for a tying touchdown. Matt Jenkins scored on a 2-yard run to cap a seven-play drive, all on the ground.
Milpitas had a first down at the Sequoia 40 when Vea got his first touch. He broke through the line, shrugged off a couple of would-be tacklers and took it all the way for the touchdown that gave the Trojans the lead for good.
His 25-yard touchdown run in the second quarter capped a 90-yard drive for Milpitas and extended the lead to 21-7.
Brandon Sualua's 25-yard touchdown run on the next Milpitas possession made it 28-7 at halftime.
"They're a big, physical, athletic team," Sequoia coach Rob Poulos said of Milpitas. —We were doing well against the run and then they hit us with the pass. In the second half we played better because we backed everything off and started playing assignments. In the first half things were just missing, and you can't just miss against a great team. And Milpitas is a great team."
Vea came up with an interception on Sequoia's first possession of the third quarter and returned it 15 yards to the Sequoia 10, where he was tackled for the first time on the night. That set up a 24-yard field goal by Jesus Gonzalez that made it 31-7.
Later in the third quarter quarterback Mike Taylor scored on a 2-yard run for Sequoia. His run was set up by a 23-yard punt return by Eduardo Alvarado. Taylor's second touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter, was his 22nd rushing touchdown of the season. Gonzalez added a 49-yard field goal late in the third quarter for Milpitas' final score.
San Benito 30, Salinas 13: San Benito earned a spot in the CCS Division I championship by knocking off No. 2 seed Salinas in Salinas. The No. 6 Balers (7-5) got three touchdown runs and a touchdown pass from junior quarterback David Stanton to avenge a 26-6 loss to Salinas earlier in the season.

I was going to say I like that move by Amare, but he ruined it haha.
and then just at Landry.
hahaha...man, that was cold, Amare
pretty funny though :P
Did anyone else catch at the end of that interview when Craig Sager said something along the lines of "You better hold on to that game ball."? Honestly, I thought that was why he launched it into the stands.
...Still "flying casual"
Not a gif, but hey, it's JaVale
"Hold onto that game ball."
These 2 are really funny
Can someone embed them properly?
On the Amare-Battier gif, it looks like Battier got a little boost after all, by tugging on Amare's shorts.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
not a gif but still pretty funny
Dudley can hit Shaq with a ball from half court but can't hit free throws.
Guys, this is one of the best, someone please embed it properly, I don't know how
This maybe belongs in the Wilt thread, but hey... it's a gif and I don't feel like searching for that thread.
Kareem's sky hook was voted by players and coaches as the most unstoppable move in basketball history. Wilt was the only man to block it. Here he blocks a righty, then a lefty. Kareem's release point on the sky hook was supposedly 12'6" and this is, of course, Wilt well past his prime at about age 35. This was in the 1971 or 1972 playoffs, and Wilt blocked 7 of Kareem's shots that game.

My look at the suttas is sound enough and in contrast to what you have posted, it neatly shows the difference between what the suttas say and what the Theravada tradition says, which is my only point. I am not saying "bad Theravada tradition." It is simply a matter of giving information and what one does with it is their choice.Ñāṇa wrote:tiltbillings wrote:The suttas, however, paint a bit of a different picture.
Your interpretation of the suttas may paint a bit of a different picture. If so, your interpretation differs from that of the ancient Theravāda tradition.
