Product Details
Dam High-Density Polyethylene Black Cold Air Intake System with Intake Tube with SynthaFlow® Filter (200-145) by AIRAID®. The Cold Air Dam Intake System positions a large 360º AIRAID air filter with a huge air inlet in the stock location, but encloses it in a housing that seals against the hood, shielding the filter from engine heat and enabling it to take in large quantities of cooler, denser air. The cooler air contains more oxygen for more complete combustion, resulting in more horsepower and torque, and improved performance.

Increased airflow to your engine will increase horsepower and torque, but if that air is cooler and denser your engine will make even more power! Cooler, denser air contains more oxygen, and more oxygen in your engine's air intake charge means better combustion, resulting in greater engine output.
The AIRAID Cold Air Dam intake system ensures that only cooler air will reach your engine's air intake. It replaces your factory air box with a specially designed enclosure. The enclosure contains a large, free-flowing SynthaFlow AIRAID filter, with a huge air inlet to increase airflow to the engine. But the magic occurs when your hood is closed, because that's when the Cold Air Dam enclosure seals against the hood and forms a large capacity airbox that shields the air filter from engine heat. The combination of large, free-flowing air filter and generous capacity, isolated airbox results in great quantities of cool, dense air funneled to your engine.
The SynthaFlow air filter is a cotton-gauze and synthetic blend that outperforms plain cotton-gauze in clean air testing. The SynthaFlow features "five layer" filtration, with 4 layers of cotton-gauze supplemented by "the last layer of defense", a layer of synthetic media that produces the cleanest air of any washable filter. The filtering media is held together by epoxy coated aluminum wire mesh, specially designed to provide the optimum balance between maximum airflow and peak filtration. This filter is over 99% efficient, meaning it allows more airflow while filtering out dirt particles ordinary filters let pass. You get better performance without sacrificing air filtration.
Also included is a molded polyethylene intake tube, which further aids airflow to the engine. This tube is connected with durable, urethane couplers and stainless steel clamps, and is less affected by engine heat than steel or aluminum tubing.
The Cold Air Dam Intake System comes complete with everything necessary for installation, including comprehensive instructions. And it's backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty. There are no limitations or fine print here. Simply, if you're ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air intake system, just send it back... period! You don't have to worry about a proof of purchase or a warranty card. AIRAID air intake systems are warranted for life.
AIRAID® was founded in 1997 when they began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. These systems increased airflow and performance while being easy to install, and sold so well that the company soon realized that another source of filters was necessary. They believed they could produce a better quality filter using new technology and state-of-the-art materials, and so in 2002 the AIRAID Filter Company was formed. Today AIRAID is the recognized leader in air management technology. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high quality products that improve drivability and performance.

Ct. showed a 3mm hypodensity on liver
Hi, I went got a ct. for uterine fibroid related issues, my Ct. revealed a 3mm hypodensity on my liver lobe, and a suggested repeat of ct. in 3 months. My gyno. and prim. phys. got the report and were not concerned., cyst. I brought the report to my gastro, for I had liver enzymes elevated in May 09, which after many tests was virus related,NO hepatitus, and ultrasound was normal in June. My gastro. sent me for an AFP, which came back normal. At my follow up, he said all my bloodwork, which he tested me for everything were normal, but wanted a repeat of ct. from radiology report, and he wanted me to get some more bloodwork.. and the 24 hr. copper test, which I had in June, too... He said he was not too concerned. It is small. He called it a lesion, but the other drs. called it a cyst. I asked if I should limit diet, alcohol, I used to drink more, a couple glasses of wine, etc.. football games.. but now if I have a couple drinks over the weekend, that is alot. I am afraid to drink, especially w/ this 3mm. THING... Help., is he just being cautious? A good thing? I am totally stressed and when I think about it, I feel it!
A 3mm hypodensity is an irrelevant entitiy in your liver. Are you sure it is 3 mm or 3 cm? No one can make any conclusions about something so small in your liver. In my view, whomever is looking into this, is making way, way too much out of this. I am certain that ANY elevated enzymes you had were NOT caused by something so insignifcant in your liver.
At 3 mm, it is likely a cyst, but so so small that NO ONE can tell for sure what it is. There is no reason to be stressed unless you are a heavy drinker, in which case, regardless of the cyst, you should cut back!

Make your paperclay book as seen in the video. Let dry overnight.
Measure your paperclay book to figure out what size to make your pages. My book is about 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" so I made my pages 3 3/4" x 3 3/4". I cut out 4 pages out of cardstock to measure 3 3/4" x 7 1/2" and folded the pages in half. Read step 3 before cutting pages.
I started with 2 – 8 1/2" x 11" cream cardstock and added Tim Holtz gear and clock masks to my cardstock. Spray Memories Mist "Pale Ale" over the masks on each sheet of cardstock. Cut out pages.
Have fun! I stamped different steampunk images on my background and added lots of fun embellishments.
Once all my pages were done, I bound my book.
I painted the cover with a different color of brown acrylic paint to make it look like leather.
On the first page, I used Tim Holtz's mini grunge letter with Plum and Ruby ink. I used my Micro Glue Dots for the letters.
The key on the side is on a string, I can use it to keep the book closed. Spray the background with Memories Mists.
On these pages, I used the Hinges from Tim Holtz. The stamps are all from VivaLasVegaStamps. For the fireman, I used both Ruby and India inks. I cut out the fireman and used Pop-Up Glue Dots to adhere him to the page. The suitcase is a very large brad, and the finger is a stamp from Stampotique
On these pages, I used the fireman stamp and a Ferris Wheel stamp. I inked the edges to give them an aged look.
I used copper wire to hang a small key next to the Sakura Jewelry Finding.
I folded a tag in half and added it to the side of the page to create a tab.
The clock face is real, but I used the Tim Holtz Spinner for the center of the clock face. The Glass Tile embellishment is from Sakura.
I made the embellishment on the right side page with the gears in it. Here is the video on how I made the embellishment in this book.
This page I used a sticker from EK Success. The stamp on the right hand page is one from the sheet of steampunk stamps I got from VivaLasVegaStamps.
I wrapped the side of the page with string and hung a Jewelry Finding with Steampunk clip art. See video for detailed instructions. I used another tag to make a tab for the page.
On this page, I stamped the Food Grinder from VivaLasVegaStamps using India Ink.
I adhered a tag with Miracle Tape from VivaLasVegaStamps and added some clip art.
On the final page, you can still see how I used the gear mask and Memories Mist "Pale Ale" to make my background. I stamped the man riding large wheel with India Ink. There is a large, old fashioned safety pin embellishment. See video for detailed instructions. I used a Stamp Die Cut to cut the image in silver paper, then used alcohol inks to age the silver.
Now it's time to bind the book. Grab your safety pins!
We interviewed Terri Sproul on FaveCrafts Radio and asked her about this project. Listen to the April 6th show to hear her tips and tricks.

On the Grand Master:
http://www.hsilai.org/en/e_hsilai/templ ... ounder.htm
Booklet source: http://www.blia.org/english/publication ... ges/08.htm
Introductory Remarks:
I believe that all of you seated here today are students of the Buddha. As sons and daughters of our parents, we must know our parents. As students of the Buddha, how can we not know about the Buddha? Some of you in the audience may say, "How is it possible that we do not know about the Buddha? Just look at the statues of the Buddha here." Can we say that we know the Buddha just because we recognize statues of the Buddha? No, we certainly cannot. It is most regretful if we, as students of the Buddha, do not know about the Buddha. There is a verse that aptly describes a common feeling among students of the Buddha in this Dharma Declining Age. It goes like this, "When the Buddha came to this world, I was mired in depravity. Now that the Buddha has gone into parinirvana, I have come into this world. I regret that because of my many hindrances from past karma, I have not been able to see the golden body of the Buddha."
For the last fifty plus years, I have learned a lot about the Buddha. I did much research when I authored the book The Life of Sakyamuni Buddha. Thus one can say that I have a fair amount of knowledge about the Buddha. Today, I want to share with you what I know about the Buddha, and to introduce to all of you the real spirit of the Buddha.
Some of you may think that the Buddha is an almighty immortal with all kinds of powers, who can come and go without a trace. If you think that this is the Buddha I am going to share with you, you will be disappointed. Others may think that the Buddha is full of kindness and compassion, and will grant me whatever I ask for in my prayers. This is not the case, either. I believe that the Buddha most people admire is the Buddha that sits cross-legged on the altar—serene, peaceful, quiet, and still. If the Buddha were to talk and instruct us now, "Do not do this," or "This is not the case," we may not have liked the Buddha as much. Perhaps because the Buddha is not critical of us, does not reproach us, and does not argue with us, we are drawn to him. We willingly pay respect and prostrate to him.
Now, I will try to describe the Buddha with the help of ten questions. I hope, through these questions, we can know the real spirit of the Buddha.
Comments? Opinions?
Namo Amitabha Buddha!

Fewer Farmers, Larger Farms
I'm guessing you've heard by now that South Dakota had fewer farms in 2012 than in 2011, and the average farm size grew during that time. I'm sure this news didn't surprise anyone.
By the numbers, the USDA says South Dakota had 31,000 farms in 2012, 300 fewer than in 2011. And the average farm size was 1,408 acres, up from 1,395 the year before.
I don't have a lot to base my own experiences on since I haven't lived on a farm in 40 years, and my parents sold their 240 acres in northern Mccook County 19 years ago. But they raised two sons and sent my brother and me to college on those 240 acres, which now would probably barely qualify as a hobby farm.
And since I don't go out there anymore, I don't know how populated the area is. But when I go to the rural church I grew up going to, I can remember looking around at many farm places, 50 years ago, all with families and all raising children.
Now, I can think of only a couple of farms that are active and occupied, but the land is all farmed.
There's the new USDA report in microcosm, although it didn't happen in the space of a year. It's an illustration of our changing rural landscape: fewer (and probably older) farmers, but larger – much larger – farms.

Creating, Performing, and Participating in Theatre
Students apply processes and skills in acting, directing, designing, and scriptwriting to create formal and informal theatre, film/videos, and electronic media productions and to perform in them.
Common Core State Standards for ENGLISH LANGUAGE ART S & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading Grades 6-12
Key Ideas and Details

Students will perform a "Breaking up with the British" song, in which they alter the lyrics to a popular song, making sure to include key themes from the Declaration of Independence.
Activity Steps:
1. Hook: Breaking up is Hard to Do - Show a picture of divorced couples and explain that sometimes, really long relationships end. Despite how hard you try, there are things about the other person that just aren't compatible with you. After enough trying and fighting, sometimes it just doesn't work.
2. The Declaration of Independence was our break-up letter to King George III and Britain. Class brainstorm: What did it say? Why did we write it?
3. Show Music Video: "Too Late to Apologize" & lyrics. Discuss the problems that the colonists had with Britain. http://www.webtexts.com/declaration/
4. In partners, students read and discuss the Declaration of Independence. Students will read, highlight, paraphrase, and discuss sections of the document.
5. Students will be given a list of break-up songs, which they then have to alter the lyrics to so that it becomes a song about the U.S. breaking up with Great Britain. Their lyrics must contain vocabulary words and main ideas from the Declaration of Independence. Students will perform these songs with an instrumental track accompanying them.
Special Needs of students are considered in this lesson:
1. Use the Declaration of Independence glossary to assist with reading. http://www.mcwdn.org/dof/decgloss.html
2. Mixed ability partner groups allow students to share their strengths and learn from others.

This Philadelphia teen isn't monkeying around about her commitment to a unique nonprofit.
Mitzvah Hero: Hannah Rose, 13, daughter of Mindy and Dr. Mark Rose of Philadelphia, has received a Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Human Relations Award for her compassion and selflessness.
What It's All About: The seventh grader at Alternative Middle Years at James Martin, a magnet school, has lent a helping hand to Helping Hands since her recent Bat Mitzvah at Beth Sholom Congregation in Elkins Paark.
"I like monkeys," she says simply of her devotion to Helping Hands, a national nonprofit that offers the services of specially trained capuchin monkeys to assist adults whose mobility is limited by spinal cord problems.
While volunteering for the organization, she also gives the monkeys items they crave, "like walnuts," she says with a laugh.
Not a One-Time Thing: A participant for two years running in the George Washington Carver Science Fair, Hannah has also spent time volunteering for the Jewish National Fund and the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.
Good for Her: The future marine biologist — and sister to Arielle — enjoys doing what she does from the goodness of her heart: "I like to help," she says, and after all, that's part of what Judaism is all about.

The meeting, to be held in Kigali, Rwanda, will discuss the next phase of cyberlaw implementation in EAC partner States. Special attention will be given to issues of intellectual property rights, competition, e-taxation, and information security.
With the adoption of the framework by the EAC Council of Ministers, the five partner States - Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda - have committed themselves to enacting cyberlaws that will be effective across the region. The creation of an enabling legal and regulatory environment was identified in the e-government programme initiated by the EAC secretariat in 2005 as a prerequisite to the implementation of e-government and e-commerce strategies at national and regional levels. The adoption of harmonized cyberlaws is in turn considered a crucial element in implementing e-government services effectively and increasing trade and investment in the region.
E-government and e-commerce strategies need strong legislative back-up on such matters as data security, network security, information systems, electronic transactions, and the prevention of cybercrime.
The framework provides guidelines for the enactment and enforcement of harmonized cyberlaws in the region. It covers electronic transactions, electronic signatures and authentication, data protection and privacy, consumer protection, and computer crime.
Policymakers of developing countries are increasingly aware of the need to adapt and harmonize their legislation to take into account the Internet economy and the potential of e-commerce for boosting domestic and cross-border business and investment.
UNCTAD supports capacity-building activities in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) in all developing regions, and helps lawmakers in the preparation of cyberlaws.

Grief Management : Dealing With Loss During the Holidays
by Dr. Geret Giles
The holiday season can be a difficult time for those who have lost
Perhaps a brief introduction to Geret N. Giles Ph.D.
Dr. Giles is our resident psychologist, he is a marriage and family therapist. Didn't know we had one of those did you?
He will be participating on the new website in three ways to help you.
1. Articles in upcoming newsletters

3. "Ask Dr. Giles" - this will be a new part of the website, where you will be able to ask about specific issues you need help with.
We hope you are looking forward to all the new website will have to offer just as much as we are.
Much love to you and yours,
Thank you, Stacie, for bringing up the subject - I had wanted to, but didn't know how without sounding whiney and self-pitying.
As soon as I walked into a store and saw the Christmas displays already up (right after Halloween), I walked right out and felt depressed for hours. Now I hear references to the holidays everywhere I go, I hear Xmas carols, hear people talking about their plans with their families, and I"m just paralyzed with grief. I would really love to just stay home and be miserable instead of going to my husband's family for Thanksgiving, but I know they'll think I'm selfish and I should put on a good show for my daughter. So I'll go and I will be miserable but I'll put on a good face. I'm so tired of putting on a good face.
Last Thanksgiving, my mother was failing fast, but she forced herself to make the turkey and the rest of us did everything else - she was very proud of herself. She even managed to go Xmas shopping the next day and get it all done in one store, though she totally exhausted herself. This is what I think about and I can't help it. Maybe withdrawing from the world is not healthy, but it's all I want to do. Nothing will make it better - unless she comes back to me. I guess I'm still in denial, huh?
Thank you Stacie, for bringing up this topic.
Being in the UK, we don't have to endure the pain of Thanksgiving without our special person. Christmas is huge here, and a really important family time.
Everything bad with Alan's cc seemed to happen at Christmas time - diagnosis on 15th December, return of the disease with a vengeance at his last Christmas, and then he passed the following 21st December. So, a time that was once such a happy time and full of our little family traditions that we had built up over the years turned into the saddest of times.
On Alan's first anniversary we had a memorial service for him at our beautiful village church, which enabled everyone who loved him to get together and share readings and specially written pieces with each other, which none of us had been able to do at the funeral service when the grief was just too raw. It was truly a celebration of Alan's life, and I found that a great help and I know my son did, too.
Since then we have marked Alan's anniversary in our home each year with an Open House on the Sunday closest to the date, to which all friends and family are free to come - not to be sad, but to share good memories, have something to eat and raise a glass or two. In this way, I tend to focus on that day, which has become a special day for my son and myself, rather than on Christmas Day, which still remains a difficult one that just has to be got through the best way I can.
With love to everyone with cc, caring for someone with cc, or who has lost someone to cc, and who is going through a hard time during the holiday season.
Thank you for addressing this issue. My father died on Dec 29 years ago and now Mom is sick with cc and looks like we could have a bleak holiday season again. I welcome all ideas to make the holidays fun for the little ones, meaningful for the adults, and not dreary for any of us. It always makes the good times a little less fun when there is a memory of a missing loved one. I think the memorial service is a lovely idea for the family to share and move on from their grief.
Last year, I changed things up for the holidays. My husband and I went to a relative's house and spent time with family (not in our own home). It was easier than being home and wallowing in our sadness. We surrounded ourselves with friends, family and children. The children always make it easier! I went to bed early ... as an escape. But that was o.k. I got through it!
Blessings to you and congratulations on getting through it. Nothing seems harder than learning to get along without one we loved so much. Hope you have plans this year to keep it changed a little to reduce the sense of loss that naturally comes with the holidays. Keep lovin' on the children. Blessings, Susan
To all - The other thing I forgot to mention is that I try not to focus on the date of John's death....it's so painful and just an awful reminder of what he went through. Instead, I put all my energy into John's birthday -- a wonderful day in my life. I ask all our friends and family to do something special and kind on his birthday as a tribute to him and what he stood for. In this way, I am not remembering his death, but am remembering his life and the thirty years that I was blessed to have him as a son and as my friend. As much as humanly possible, I attempt to go through the anniversary of his death as a "normal" day and I try not to dwell on it. I know this won't work for everyone, but it is what worked for me and my husband. Believe me, it is not that we don't remember....but as best as we can....we try to remember only the good stuff. Hope this helps someone else.....Nancy
The season has just begun and I am already having a rough time. Nine months ago my husband passed away to cc, then I lost my Mom last week.
So, it is a double loss. She had been in a nursing home for three years, when Wayne passed I spent my evenings after work with her. Now what?
Last night I went to my weekly grief couseling, I thought I was getting a little better then this. I have been going to therapy since June, I'm told one thing that I've been a caregiver for 30 years, now I'm suddenly not in that role. I tried to go with my daughter like we do traditionly every year the day after Thanksgiving, I was not in spirit of the day, I was home by 6:30 am. This year I have to deal with two major losses. Please keep me in your prayers.
It has only been three weeks for me, so I am not even attempting christmas this year. My husband thinks it will be good to be with family, his family. My dad passed away in 94 and my mom three weeks ago. I still have my step father. He is not sure what he wants to do. I just can't be in a place to talk to people, much less hear people complain that the stove or oven doesn't function properly.
I did tell him before, if something did happen to my mom I would go away. However, money is tight now, so no vacation. I might just go to her vacation home. She loved being there.
My step dad was sweet and put up all of my moms x-mas lights and decorations. She loved Christmas. I won't be putting anything up this year. I would just like to skip it this year...I will try again next year.
I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and hope you all are able to make a nice holiday for yourself. I use the word nice a lot now. I can't say good or great...things and days are just nice.
Dear Michelle,
I am so sorry that you are so sad. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better. I think you are going through the grieving process and you gotta do what you think is best. Nobody can force you to be in the holiday mood. I understand what you mean when people complain about the most trivial things. Sometimes I just want to scream at them and say well at least your daughter doesn't have cancer, but I never do. I just think it in my head. Some people don't have a clue what people with CC or for that matter, any other cancer, go through or the people that take care of them. But we do and that is why everyone here is special. Please take care of yourself and I hope in time things will get easier. You have many friends here if you feel like talking or venting. Take care.
Love, -Pam
Thank you Pamela. I always appreciate your thoughts. At least we expect to feel this way right now. I don't know if it would be normal or healthy to go on like nothing has happened.
How is your daughter doing? I haven't kept up with the message boards too much lately. Last I knew her tumor shrunk... Wonderful news. Also, I think she was not able to get chemo...I know how upset my mom would be when she couldn't get her chemo, but the timing was always perfect. Gave her a little break. Always thinking of you two.
Dearest Michelle, always remember, you are in your own shoes and this is your grief and you do what you feel best. I am happy to hear you are using the words 'nice' as that is a beginning and it takes time to get to 'good' which is why I always say, 'my new normal'. Remember that you have not only lost your Mom but there is a downtime to go through for the mode of Care Taker that you were in and that has to work it's way through as well. You did well, you will be well as that is what your Mom would have wanted. Please let us know how you are doing, we miss you.
Dear Michelle - I'm sorry you're going through this. "Firsts" are difficult, but your first is so new. Under the circumstances, I believe you get to put yourself above the rest and do what is good for yourself. Healing and recovery is in store for you now.
Michelle....you are allowing yourself to "grief" in your very own way and that I believe is one of the most important steps to take when losing a loved one. It doesn't come natural to us. We are left with a gap in our lives and somehow this gap has to be filled again. . At times it does feel surreal and almost possible to imagine that life can go on without that person and yet we do because, we are equipped with an enormous amount of resilience – the very same resilience that guided us throughout. You have it, Michelle, it is quite apparent. Know that many good thoughts are coming your way.
All my best wishes,
Christmas was hard for us this year as well. All that we could do was keep trucking through, and to be honest, in the weeks coming up to Christmas, there were days that I just wished it would be over. Our son helped me through - kids can do that, and I'm glad to say that it is over and hope that next year is better. it was especially hard to walk into the stores and see gifts that were annual presents (especially favorite chocolates), then have to walk by them and not pick up a box. UGH. Does it get easier???
Yes, Karen, it gets easier, never the same as it was but easier. What kind of people would we be and how much would we have loved if we didn't feel the emotions we do. The harder you loved the harder the missing. Maybe this will help a little, I really like this verse:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Karen...many times I simply went through the motions of important events and I have to say that it does become easier as time goes on. Our Dr. Giles once said the following: "I would gently suggest to you that the depth of your feelings are a testament to the significance of the place your loved one has in your life. The magnitude of your pain and devastation signifies how precious he was to you--and that's a good thing. Your sorrow is a result of the loss of a good man."
To date, almost five years after my husband's passing I find comfort in these words.
I wish for a peaceful New Year.
All my best,
Karen, I am sorry that you had a hard time at Christmas. Look to the future and happy times with your dear son. It must be so hard for you at this time. Just know that you have people here that care about you and are here to listen to your feelings whenever you feel like talking. I will pray that life gets easier for you.
Love, -Pam
Hi Everyone,
This is a difficult time for many of us who've lost a loved one. Right around this time six years ago, my Dad was hospitalized for the last time. Just today as I was driving home and seeing the neighbourhood houses with their Christmas lights on, I couldn't believe we'd spend another Christmas without him.
Yet we are spending another Christmas without him. It isn't just about his death, it's about the way he died, so quickly with this insidious illness that stole him away from us with only eight weeks worth of warning. During that time, we were still hoping for a cure that was never to be. In the blink of an eye, his life was extinguished and with that, our lives too. Or at least the lives that we led back then.
So, while this message starts sadly, I want to let you know that it is possible to rebuild a new life and use that sadness to comfort another. In the time my Dad's been gone, my mother and I have tried to live on in his honour- for the most part, the visible things have been to donate to charity and we now sponsor six kids from World Vision. When there are opportunities to show kindness to another, we do. Many times we do this for ourselves and for the recipient, but for the most part, we do it for Him, so that he lives on through these acts of kindness that were so much a part of him.
Friends, this Christmas, I'd love to say to you that time heals our hearts, but it only partially heals them. The other part is up to us. The loss of my Dad will never be totally healed, but the enormous hole he has left is being filled by the drop with these things I force myself to do in order to continue his legacy.
For all of you who've lost a loved one, I wish you peace of heart and spirit. I wish that somehow you can transform your pain into love of another. Even if you have to pretend to be strong, your strength will fortify another. That's what it's all about- we need to hold each other up, because sometimes only those who've fallen are fit for the task.
Brightest Blessings as you remember your dear loved ones this Christmas season. God Bless You All.
Missing U
Dear MissingU, this is one of the most beautiful posts I have ever read. Very elequently stated. Thank you so very much and wishing you many Blessings to come over the Holiday season as well. I know your Dad is so very proud of you and the way you have "played it forward" to others in need.
missingU....I too thank you for you beautiful posting. You have been with us for many years, in fact it goes back to near the beginning of this site. Thank you for the continued support to us all. I wish for all good things to come your way.
I'm so sorry but I an totally relate to your feelings because I feel the same way. When you said "Maybe withdrawing from the world is not healthy, but it's all I want to do. Nothing will make it better - unless she comes back to me." that's exactly how I feel. This cancer killed my mother (Nov. 29th, 2012) in 8 weeks and it was just horrific for me. She was all I had and now she's gone. It's been 6 weeks and 1 day now, and I'm still hurting. I believe that everyone takes their own time to heal and we can't rush it, like many others would like us to.
I'm debating if I want to attend a Grief class which is once a week for ten weeks, or if I want to do it my way. My friends who have been through the class said it's great.
My way of grieving is I enlarged three beautiful pictures of my mother when she was well, framed them and hung them up on the wall right in front of me above my laptop screen. In that way I can type and look at her when I want to. I also look at one picture at a time and speak to her, cry and then speak to her again. For me, it gets better each day but then I have my really bad days. The important thing to remember is that healing is a process and can take a long time depending on the person. For me it's a long process.
My mother is the :wind beneath my wings" and mother's always stay with their children in spirit and soul. Their soul never leaves you.
You're in my thoughts and prayers. Please feel free to leave me a message any time when you need someone.

This past Christmas was awful for me and I didn't & couldn't celebrate. All I could and still do, is think of my wonderful loving mother. Facing it and feeling it is my way of riding through the storm.

It's been 9 1/2 months since I lost my beloved Mama. I'm
still hurting & cry every day. I've gone to a Grief Group, therapy and my heart is still is in great pain. I'm still dealing with her Estate in
France and the Notaire has ignored me and only responded
when she felt like it and avoids my phone calls.
The Notaire came back from a 2 1/2 week vacation last
August 26th and without advising me, she's on vacation again until the 20th and NO ONE else in her office is allowed to work on my case. She doesn't keep me updated & I fired my attorney as she never took any action, just made phone calls & sent emails about information that I already knew. I miss my mother so much and wish I could hear her voice. This time last year she was well & alive.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's an arrogance at Intel ( INTC) that will kill the company. Ignore this rally out of the teens. Things will not end well for Intel.Earlier Wednesday, in Why Won't Intel Just Tell the World It Doesn't Suck?, I took the bigger picture view. Here's a company that cloaks itself in secrecy, allowing the media to run with leaks. First, Intel was all set to unveil its cable television-disrupting set-top box at next week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Then, before we could properly scoff at this old rumor becoming a living, breathing idea, we hear that Intel has hit a snag. It seems the old-guard media content providers aren't cooperating. Shocker!. The way Intel handles itself from a public/investor/media relations standpoint stinks. I get into why in the above-linked article. It's not about whether they give me a scoop or even salient information. It's about the larger, more important issue of how investors consume information about companies, particularly underperforming ones like Intel. During times of uncertainty and transition, Intel should be opening the lines of communication with investors and the media, not closing them. When a hack like me says that Intel needs to hire a CEO who doesn't know anything about silicon, don't get all defensive. Go public and say that's just what we did with Intel Media, and we're thinking along similar, though maybe not the exact same lines for the larger company. But this is not surprising. The way Intel handles itself is borne out of an arrogance hardly trademarked by Intel. It's the fortress, you'll get what we give you, pesky little shareholder, when we want to give it to you and you'll like it mentality that too many companies, big and small, exhibit. Apple ( AAPL), under Steve Jobs, stands as one of the few that has license to treat stockholders with such disregard. It's this same arrogance, however, that makes Intel think it has a chance to do anything but fail or produce minuscule impacts in the living room. Reed Hastings at Netflix ( NFLX) must be laughing his Qwikster off at Intel. And when Hastings laughs at you, you know things are really bad. I'm sure that a considerably more credible media leader -- Jeff Bewkes at Time Warner ( TWX) -- is laughing even harder.

"Wind setdown" occurs when strong winds blow over water for an extended period of time, shifting the water body downward.
As noted in a previous column, this shift causes a low-angle tilt and the upwind, shore water level drops.
"As the sun sank over the Nile Delta, a man stood onshore … raising his rod as a howling wind blew from the east. In the morning the sea was gone, blown to the west; permitting people to walk upon dry ground where the day before fish swam and boats sailed." The man was not Moses, as described in Exodus 14, but Major-Gen. Sir Alexander B. Tulloch, holding a surveyor's rod, not a staff, in 1882.
On the western end of Lake Erie, "wind setdown" events have dropped the lake by 2 meters. Fastcast: Warmer.

Corn growers won't accept any crop injury as they shoot for higher and higher yields. Anything that might set the corn back or lower yield, even if it might only be one or two bushels per acre, is unacceptable today.
With that in mind, growers expect any corn herbicide they use to be "completely safe" to the crop, whether it is pre-emergence or postemergence herbicides.
"In the corn market today, growers will not stand for any type of injury. Postemerge products for corn production cannot twist, burn or put spots on the leaves; growers just won't stand for it," said Tommy Thompson, Sanders area manager for western Kentucky. He knows grower attitudes because he has worked in the ag retail business for more than 30 years and watched the evolution of farmers being happy growing 150-bushel corn to now looking to grow 250-bushel or more corn per acre.
"The worst thing you can do is go in and burn a guy's corn crop with a postemerge product. Even if you tell him it's going to be OK, he isn't going to be happy," Thompson continued. "Customer satisfaction is what you are looking for, and if a grower isn't happy with a product, he isn't going to come back for a repeat performance next year."
With multiple choices of products that control the same weeds, Thompson said, low use rate, ease of tank mixing and assurance of no crop injury are three major factors that sway growers to use one herbicide over the other. The grower doesn't care what makes the herbicide safe to the crop, just that it is extremely safe to the crop so that it doesn't inhibit yield.
Crop safety, because of the safener included, is one reason why Thompson has recommended Capreno for use alone and with tank mix partners. The safener keeps the actives in Capreno harmless to the corn plant as well as safens the tank mix partners.
What also impresses Thompson is that even with the addition of the safener, Capreno is a low-use-rate product.
"If you are spraying Capreno and a growth regulator like dicamba added to the mix, the safener in Capreno will safen the crop to dicamba, too," explained Daren Bohannan, Bayer CropScience technical development representative for central and northern Illinois plus Wisconsin. Because Bayer CropScience is the manufacturer of the safener, it doesn't skimp on the safener included in its safened herbicides, he added.
"All herbicides, to be safe for use on a crop, must be metabolized by the plant, and speeding up the metabolism process makes it highly unlikely for any injury to occur, and that is what our safener does," said Bohanan. "Herbicide safeners are definitely our expertise in both the early pre and post markets."
He said, "Bayer CropScience currently has three commercialized safeners, and we have others that are not on the market yet as we are testing them trying to find the right marriage of herbicide and crop."
"The safener increases the plant's production of some key enzymes that break down herbicides and this speeds up the metabolization of the herbicide. In most cases when we see crop injury from a postemergence herbicide, there were some environmental or adverse conditions that didn't allow the plant to break it down rapidly enough. Having the safener there ensures that this slow down doesn't happen."
A slow down in metabolization doesn't always have to be leaf damage; it can be things such as stalks susceptible to brittle snap or bottleneck shaped ears, which aren't immediately seen after a herbicide application, Bohanan noted.
He said, "Even if a herbicide shows 95 percent crop safety, why not shoot for 100 percent safety, which is what we're doing by adding a safener."

There is so much to review after Monday's market moves that I want to take this in order of time frames. Let's begin with the indicators that say we can have a quick short-term bounce to relieve some of the selling that took place in the last session. From there we'll move on to the fact that nothing has changed in the intermediate-term indicators, as they remain overbought and are heading down -- which keeps me in the camp that says the market needs more of a correction. Finally we'll look at the currencies, since that seems to be the main area of interest these days.
If you want to look for a short-term bounce, you might cite that the Arms Index (TRIN) came in around 3, and the fact that 90% of the volume was on the downside. Both of these indicators often lead to a one-to-three-day bounce.
I might even note that the number of stocks making new lows actually contracted, and did not expand on Monday vs. last week. I can even point to the put-call ratio, which chimed in at 115%. Or that the S&P 500 is almost at its channel line which is also where its 50-day moving average resides. I can even say the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) got jumpy, although I believe it will become even more so in the coming weeks.
As for the intermediate-term indicators, they have now all rolled over. The McClellan Summation Index has turned down a great deal -- in fact, if the market has a severe selloff Tuesday, this indicator will need the NYSE to put in a net differential of more than +4000 in advancers minus decliners in order to reverse itself. A level like this typically means a short-term oversold rally is at hand. But the intermediate-term move is the direction of the indicator is down.
The 30-day moving average of the advance-decline line continues to head down, as well, after it reached an overbought reading two weeks ago. It will be quite some time -- that is, several weeks -- before it gets back to an oversold condition.
The Hi-Lo Indicator rolled over a few weeks ago, made a lower high and is heading down. The ratio of the S&P to the Russell 2000 dipped under 1.65 and then reversed back up, signaling an overbought condition in the market. For this, too, the indicator will now have to run its course in order to return to oversold.
In the race to the 50-day moving averages, the KBW Bank Index (BKX) won. Yes, I know, I have harped about this index constantly in the last few weeks. But after it broke that uptrend line last week, it saw a pathetic rally and now is sitting at its 50-day line -- whereas the S&P still has about 10 points to go before it reaches its 50-day.
You can see there is support here from prior lows and an uptrend line. In my view, even if it holds and has a rally attempt from here, it is likely to break at some point in the next few weeks.
Finally there is the chart of the dollar-yen currency pair. That was some move on Monday! A few weeks ago I drew in the same line you see on the chart, noting I thought it would come down and tag the line. At the time the line was at 90; on Monday it was closer to 91, and you can see it did bounce right off the line.
The question, therefore, is whether I still think this will come down and tag 90 -- and actually I do. If dollar-yen cross has a lethargic bounce that cannot get above 92.25-ish, I do believe it will head down again and break that uptrend line. If it can manage a rally back up above 93, I might reconsider that view. For now I think the likelihood is a failing rally that takes it down again.

"Hi, I was looking on the blog and reading about the green cabins on Werneth Low, I remember going up to the cabins when I was a little girl with my Father John Holt and Mother Margaret Holt also my Grandmother Margaret Holt(nee Winterbotham) and my father's Auntie Elsie Denerley(nee Winterbotham). We had picnics there with strawberries and we used to go up to Windy Harbour Farm for milk and cream, Dad would go to the river and fish".
Hydes Tea Rooms Windy Harbour.
"Elsie Denerley lived in Bank Street at the tripe dressing business and we used to go and visit, there were big stone vats with tripe in,also they kept chickens at the back.
When I was 15 I worked at Fletcher Miller's in the office and later it became Castrol, it was a good place to work and I still keep in touch with people I worked with.
Saturdays were good as we would go and watch them making Godley Rock in the market Hall,also there was a house in Godley where you could buy it ".
The Ritz.
"The Ritz was a haven for romance and we loved to go to the pictures, but when we were younger we used to go to the Hippodrome on Saturday morning this would give the mothers a break and we would buy sweets from the shop next door.
Does anyone remember the shop lower down from the Hippodrome ,where the bus station is now, it used to have great blocks of salt at the front door".
Hyde Park Bandstand 1960's
"Sunday after church services lots of people used to gather in Hyde Park and listen to the Band and then a visit to Meschias.
Happy Days".

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/53144...m#.UrkiT2pMVxtThe trade rumors surrounding Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo hasn't subsided yet, but this time, the All-Star playmaker is being linked to a potential sting with the emerging Eastern Conference powerhouse Indiana Pacers, a source close to situation reported on Sunday.
View Full Image
Rajon Rondo Celtics
While Rondo is just few weeks away to making his return on the floor after tearing his ACL almost a year ago, the rumor mill continues to heat up once again with an earth-shaking Celtics-Pacers trade gaining significant momentum.
Ever since the Celtics regressed from a championship contender to a playoff hopeful, the Pacers has assumed the role as the chief rival to the two-time defending champion Miami Heat. In last year's Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers came close to beating the Heat but they fizzled out in the seventh and deciding game of their epic series.
Blockbuster Trade in the Making?
There's no doubt that Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has developed an animosity towards the Heat after engaging in several emotional games during the Big 3 Era.

Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Dealing with Anxiety and Past Trauma
I`m 52, otherwise healthy and have recently been having what I think are panic attacks (waking up in the middle of the night with a severe feeling of dread, like a heart attack, drove to the ER a few times then realized that it`s all in my head; but it sure felt real.....sweating, pounding heart etc.). I almost asked a nurse who I knew to draw cardiac enzymes as I was sure that I was having a heart attack.......but then I realized that the problem is not real.
To compound matters, I recently had a lengthly surgery in which the anesthesia pretty much failed, so I was in agony for the entire 1 hour procedure; so now I have a morbid fear of anything medical where I don`t have control. This despite being in a fairly responsible medical profession (I should know better). After the surgery, the anesthesiologist spoke with me, reviewed the notes and made a sincere apology for what I had experienced. She took responsibility and documented the errors in the medical record. I was so surprised at the transparency that I can hardly be angry (after all, no medical procedure comes with a money-back guarantee), but I`m still having nightly flashbacks many months later. The problem is: I need to have more surgery (not optional) and just can`t do it. Twice got as far as the OR, then insisted on local only (could be done, but inappropriate), then walked out.
My question: What should I do? I know that my fears have a factual basis, but I`m blowing them out of proportion and it`s ruining my life and I`m getting very depressed. Any ideas? Thanks.
I think you may have done a good job "diagnosing" yourself, but as you can tell, "treating" yourself will likely require seeking out some medical and mental health care. Knowing what we "should" do and being able to do it are totally different things. I may know how to perform a minor medical procedure, but I wouldn't want to do it on myself. Why should treating a serious and important mental illness be any different.
You certainly are displaying signs of anxiety, possibly some panic attacks and some PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). The first thing you should do is get yourself to a good psychologist or psychiatrist for an evaluation. Treatment is usually with a combination of medications (usually starting with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)) and counseling (cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has excellent results). You will want to find a good therapist that you feel comfortable with and with whom you establish a good working relationship. Treatment may take as long as 6 to 24 months, but generally has good results.
Good luck.

Providence, Rhode Island Empire Beauty School Featured in examiner.com ArticleBlog ▸ Campuses | April 8, 2009
Providence, Rhode Island Empire Beauty School Featured in examiner.com Article: "Beauty on a budget: where to find discounted services in Rhode Island"
In this article, Laura Lass of the Providence Beauty Examiner, begins by saying, "Many of us are having to cut our budget. And none of us want to cut the beauty from it." She recommends that her readers "Consider having your beauty treatments done at a school of beauty instead of the usual day spa. Prices are normally a fraction of the cost and the quality of the service is just as good."
Lass emphasizes that "Beauty schools offer an array of services in which their students get to practice their skills on actual people (under supervision of course). They gain experience and you gain a good deal." Also current beauty school students "are learning the newest techniques available in the world of beauty and many of them have a fresh outlook on what's hot."
One of Lass's recommendations is the Empire Beauty School in Providence, Rhode Island on Broadway or the Warwick, Rhode Island Empire Beauty School on Bald Hill Road.

ECB-driven cheap funding fattens Pfandbriefe amid retail famine

Historically cheap Pfandbrief funding on the back of ECB policies has led to a significant widening of the spread between German mortgage cover pool assets and liabilities in recent years, according to Fitch – although an analyst underlined how retail savings have been squeezed out of the equation...

Okla. native Mercer sends thoughts to tornado victims
PITTSBURGH -- Jordy Mercer didn't have any family or friends directly affected by a fatal tornado that ravaged part of Oklahoma City and its suburbs on Monday.
But Mercer is sending plenty of prayers that way.
He resides in Edmond, Okla., about 20 miles north of the destruction, and said his parents knew some people in the area. Most of his friends in the state are up north.
"I just wish I could be down there with everybody," Mercer said.
Athletes have already pledged their support for the victims, many of whom lost everything. Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant donated $1 million to the Red Cross, and Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, a native of the state, pledged to give $1,000 for every home run he hits until the All-Star break.
"Oklahoma is a sneaky state," Mercer said. "We can come together real quick."

Dear Miriam,
You know that episode of "How I Met Your Mother," where Katie Holmes comes to the Halloween party dressed as "The Slutty Pumpkin?" Is there a Purim equivalent?
Hottie Hamentaschen
Dear Hottie,
Purim is certainly an opportunity to do things out of the ordinary, in a turn-the-world-upside-down-can't-tell-blessed-Mordecai-from-cursed-Haman kind of way, including how we dress. While I don't think that the Halloween trend of making every possible costume into a "slutty" version of itself has fully carried over into Purim, you have free reign to push the envelope and get a little crazy.
If, for example, you're planning to go to the amazing 20s and 30s Purim Dance Party at World Cafe Live on Saturday night (and I hope you are), think about it like any other night in a club, and feel free to be as racy or as tame as you see fit. But wear a costume of some sort, if for no other reason than you'll get a discount at the door! If you're going to the Grad Network/Minyan Tikvah Megillah reading on Wednesday night, you also have a lot of leeway. Think of your costume as a way to express yourself, show off your creativity and get into the Purim spirit. Maybe you'll even meet your Ted Mosby, your Ahasuerus, your beshert, or at least a gorgeous grogger to dance with for the night.
If you don't have any costume ideas yet, you still have a few days, and here are some general suggestions:
Puns and phrases – These are the costumes that need to be explained and then make onlookers roll their eyes. For years, my husband dressed as "The Shushan Man," and carried around a container of shoe polish and a brush. I'll pause while you groan.
Group costumes – gather some friends and gain solidarity and confidence through looking ridiculous together.
Old school — Who doesn't love a classic villainous Haman or tiara-ed Esther?
Making do — Put on a dress that it's never the right occasion to wear and add a crazy wig, some wings or zombie face paint. Wear a bunch of mismatched clothes and call yourself an eccentric.
Whatever you wear this Purim season, don't take yourself too seriously. It's that kind of a holiday. So grab a drink, a hamantashen (hot or not) and let loose.
Be well, and be merry!

Pollock learning to scout pitchers in full-time role
PHOENIX -- Since collecting three hits and driving in two runs on Opening Day, D-backs outfielder A.J. Pollock has gone hitless in his last nine at-bats entering Monday. The drought has been especially sour because the 25-year-old has had a couple hits taken away from him.
In addition to recording a few loud outs off hard-hit balls, Pollock appeared to leg out an infield single over the weekend in Milwaukee only to be called out by the first-base umpire. The young outfielder knows there is always tough luck involved in baseball but admitted it's difficult to accept sometimes, especially when he is getting a chance to play every day at the Major League level.
"It is frustrating, but you have to keep trying to hit the ball hard, because that's baseball," said Pollock, who hit .247 in 31 games last year in his first big league season. "You get up here, and there might be more pressure to perform, but you really can't control a lot of stuff."
Most of the pitchers Pollock has faced this season he hasn't seen before, including Pittsburgh's starter on Monday night, left-hander Wandy Rodriguez, so he has relied heavily on teammates and scouting reports to prepare for games.
"You have to learn a lot from there, but the cool thing here is they are very detailed, so you go in with a lot more understanding of what they are doing," he said. "I think the learning curve here is [about] more preparing because you have a lot more stuff at your disposal. You learn how to research when you're up here."
Despite the small slump, Pollock still figures to play consistently until Cody Ross returns from injury, when he'll likely transition into the fourth-outfielder role.

There are some running backs everyone knows about. Marquee names like Marcus Lattimore and Trent Richardson can be the face of their team and the engine to power an offense. There are others who slice through defenses with speed that would make track coaches drool.
Then there is Mississippi State tailback Vick Ballard. He's not fast, and he's not one of the better known players in the Southeastern Conference, but he's still lethal.
"Big-time back," Kentucky head coach Joker Phillips said of Ballard. "Doesn't seem to be a big guy but he runs real physical. Presses blocks. Protects the football."
Sophomore defensive tackle Donte Rumph said Ballard is one of the most underrated players in the SEC. In 2010, he ran for 968 yards and a whopping 19 touchdowns. He's powering the Bulldog offense again in 2011, leading the team with 598 yards and five touchdowns.
Ballard isn't the only threat the UK defense will have to be prepared for on Saturday. Bulldog quarterback Chris Relf is a dual-threat who has burned the Wildcats in previous seasons.
"They have a good duo back there," linebacker Avery Williamson said. "It's nothing to joke around with."
Even though Mississippi State (3-4, 0-4 SEC) is tied with Ole Miss for last place in the SEC West, they've played strong at times. They lost a gritty game against No. 1 LSU 19-6 and fell to Auburn by one score in a 41-34 shootout. Both teams will be looking for their first conference win, and whichever team loses faces a difficult road to a bowl game. Mississippi State still has games against Alabama and Arkansas left on its schedule.
"We won't be talking about them being a desperate team," Phillips said. "We'll be talking about getting our second season to 2-0."
The running game could be key for both teams on Saturday. UK ran for a season-high 340 yards in Saturday's win, controlling the clock while scoring 38 points. Ballard and Relf will face a Wildcat defense that has struggled at times, but has had more success against power running games than shifty or speedy tailbacks.
"(Mississippi State) just lines up and runs it at you," Rumph said.
The defense also had the chance to rest thanks to three turnovers and a handful of sustained drives by the offense. Repeating that by establishing the run game on offense can help give the defense a break.
"I think you saw last week what our defense can do when they're fresh," Phillips said. "Keeping those guys off the field is done by running efficiently and moving the chains."
Neloms, Burden in exclusive company
Junior safety Martavius Neloms, who returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown against Jacksonville State on Saturday, became the first UK player to score on a fumble return since Ventrell Jenkins did it against East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl after the 2008 season.
Senior corner Randall Burden, who returned an interception for a touchdown in 2009 against Louisiana-Monroe, is the only other player on UK's current roster to score a defensive touchdown. Stalwarts such as linebacker Danny Trevathan and safety/linebacker Winston Guy haven't recorded a score in their career.
"I have to tell (Trevathan) that," Neloms said. "He needs to get up there with us."
Injury report
Sophomore tailback Raymond Sanders, who returned against Jacksonville State after missing four games, is doubtful for this weekend with a high ankle sprain. He carried the ball twice against the Gamecocks for 10 yards before leaving the game.
"It's an injury where you don't have any swelling, but it takes a week or so before you can run," Phillips said.
Sanders previously underwent knee surgery on Sept. 15. Freshman tailback Josh Clemons who started in his absence, is out for the season.
Sophomore defensive tackle Mister Cobble will be held out of practice Tuesday but is expected to go Wednesday and Thursday. He has a bruised shoulder.
Sophomore kicker Joe Mansour injured his kicking ankle. Fullback D.J. Warren will be limited in contact drills this week, but is expected to play.
Junior defensive end Collins Ukwu, who played six snaps on Saturday for the first time since suffering a sprained ankle, should be available again this week. Mike Douglas is expected to start in his place again.
