This haze aint mental
Well, it's been pretty hazy and grey these past couple of days but I figured you guys wouldn't mind some hazy shots instead of sunshine galore for a change, huh? Thank goodness it is just the weather that's feeling a bit obscure right now (forgive me, I looked up synonyms and "mental haze" came up.. yes.. I admit my jokes are getting more drab by the day) ;)
So.. this is what I wore.. yesterday. Looks like I am racking up a slight "outfit time lag" once again ;)
I am back at work today after a four day Easter break. It was the weekend that kept right on giving! It's been a really pleasant break :)
Hope you guys had a nice (long) weekend too!
Friday, April 18
Of course they're made for walking. Duh!
You know how it is when you wrack your brain for a neat-o title for your latest "this is what I wore today" post. Of course every cliche wordplay and song reference ends up stuck on repeat in your mind. Leaving no space at all for alternative options. So what is a girl to do? Pick a cliched title of course! You're welcome.
Check out this awesome necklace! You could use it as a weapon it's so chunky (not that I condone jewellery-based weaponry. Peace out!)
Anyway.. before the above train of thought derailed I was going to tell you about this necklace: It's been hanging on my mirror for about two years now but I could never think of an outfit it would really go with. I guess a lot of the stuff I wear is just so loud all by itself the necklace always seemed one accessory too far.
Cue this little dress :) At last a perfect match! I just love seeing the lush green and the bright orange of the necklace together.
These are the boots my parents gave me :)
Thank you oh awesome parents! You rule. As do these boots. Obviously they are most excellent.
And talking about "most excellent": I wish you all a most excellent (ha ha.. yes..) Easter weekend!

Calm Stef is calm
This dress is still relatively new and totally-brand-spanking NEW! to this blog ;)
I got it just before we went to Goa last December and had a good giggle every time I spotted a table cloth in the same colour and pattern (yes, there were plenty).
Usually I go for fitted waists, but occasionally ridiculously loose fitting garments are just the ticket. And brown. Brown just feels right on calm to me.
And then of course there are my cheap and cheerful cowboy boots. Since I bought my first "proper" pair some years ago I have turned into a right sucker for cowboy boots. In fact my parents are treating me to a gob-smackingly beautiful pair for Easter (currently in a mail bag somewhere between the U.S. of A. and the not-so-stiff-upper-lipped island I call home).
Well, that's all from me today :)
Do you wear certain colours to invoke a mood? Like my calming chequered brown (and orange, I am completely ignoring the orange!)?
Monday, April 14
Told you I'd be back ;)
Told ya.
Well.. it took me a good long while to get back to blogging, but I think.. I am pretty sure: I am back at last.
It's been nice to concentrate on other things for a while. I've been reading, drawing and well,.. lazing.
Here is what I wore today. What I am still wearing (no nudity here).
You should see my spam box. I've never had as many comments as the moment I stopped posting! I guess if nothing else it served to remind me that this blog of mine was collecting dust.
Time for a spring clean I guess? ;)
Hope life has been treating you well while I've been gone.
What did you get up to this winter?

Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
August 21, 2009
I remember staring out our bathroom window at the beautiful morning. Randy and I shared the sink brushing our teeth while Mom blew her hair dry in the background of the mirror.
Today I am a man, I thought.
Could it have been any more typical? Images of Uncle Harold, my mom's foster father, flooded my memory. Grandma loved to tell about the time when she was in bed reading one night and Harold lifted his head straight off the pillow mid-sleep and said, "Today I am a man."
|The author at his bar mitzvah.
Harold was quite a character. A one-time cantorial student and a shoe salesman by trade, he grew up in New Haven, Conn., and lived what I've always thought of as a typical Jewish man's life. Once in the middle of the night, when my mom and her sister, Barby, were little girls, Harold woke up the whole family and drove them down to New York because he had a hankering for cheesecake.
But that was Harold: a snappy dresser, full of spontaneity and chivalry and a real mensch. He was the strongest father figure my mother ever had. He danced with her at her wedding.
Uncle Harold never lived to see my bar mitzvah; he died three years before I was born. I can only imagine my parents' unanimous decision to give me his name as my middle name. I have always felt honored to carry on his legacy.
Harold and my father got along famously. The coupling of their two gregarious personalities, on top of their love for eating, drinking and sharing stories, killed at every social event. A bris was more like a bachelor party, wedding toasts turned into wedding roasts and the first seder became improv night.
I wish I had been there to watch my dad interact with his first Jewish male role model. My parents met in the summer of 1974 at my aunt's high school graduation party. My father, Gerry, was a friend of my mom's sister. He strolled into the party and made a beeline for my mom. I can't blame him. My mom was tall, wispy and beautiful with long brown hair. My father, the son of working-class, Irish-Italian parents, was well-tanned, mustachioed and had a lion's mane of thick, full hair. My mom had only graduated Trumbull High two years earlier, so they must have passed in the halls a handful of times. An aspiring nursery school teacher attending the University of Bridgeport, my mother Wendy was everything my father was not: a soft-spoken thinker and shy. They were opposites, but that balanced out their relationship and made them stronger, better people. Their love for music, family and each other stayed them on a course for the next 16 years. My father even converted to Judaism before their marriage in 1978.
But after my parents' divorce, Dad left Judaism. My dad had seemed committed to Jewish life. He used to play for our synagogue's softball team and take me to Musaf services on Saturday mornings, right after stopping at The Corner Deli for a bagel and cream cheese. In the aftermath of my parents' divorce and some personal mistakes that turned his professional business reputation upside-down, my dad would no longer do any of these things. He eventually had to move away to a different community so he could grow some new roots.
In retrospect, I realize that my father always acknowledged the importance of a strong Jewish upbringing, even though he abandoned Judaism. Perhaps taking the Hebrew name Gershon, which means "stranger," was an ominous choice for him.
|At graduate school commencement. Today, he is a man.
From the bima on April 27, 1996, I chanted my haftorah to a packed sanctuary at Congregation Rodeph Shalom. My family and friends sat behind one another in solidarity; it was hard to pronounce the words because I was smiling so much--there were so many of them! Despite the enormous turnout, I couldn't help but notice my dad sitting in the other column of benches opposite my fan club. He sat there alone, albeit in the first row, beaming at me proud as ever. He was still a stranger to a once-familiar community.
I never held any resentment toward my father for not having participated in my bar mitzvah ceremony. Despite the fact that he would have loved to make an aliyah or perform hagbah, my Dad would not renounce his revived practice of Christianity, a commitment he had made just a few years earlier. All things considered, I always felt that my dad still played an important role in my Jewish upbringing. My dad was always there for me as a father first. It was difficult for me that my father abandoned Judaism, but his experiences taught me life lessons about forgiveness and second chances that I think are Jewish lessons too.
It was my mother who continued to provide lasting Jewish experiences for me throughout my teenage years, simply because she had the tools. I attended Merkaz during high school, a weekly Tuesday night community class for Jewish teens who want to further their education beyond eighth grade. I also actively participated in Gottlieb AZA, Bridgeport's local BBYO Jewish fraternity chapter.
Dad has always supported my devotion to Judaism, and to this day continues to encourage my exploration of leadership positions in informal Jewish education. I greatly respect my father and the journey he's taken in life. I know that if Uncle Harold were still around, he would be very proud of both Gershon and of me, Channan.

LHC Group Reports Operating Results (10-Q)
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: November 9, 2011 04:17PM
LHC Group (LHCG) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2011-09-30. Lhc Group has a market cap of $268.5 million; its shares were traded at around $14.29 with a P/E ratio of 6.6 and P/S ratio of 0.4. Lhc Group had an annual average earning growth of 30.4% over the past 5 years.
Highlight of Business Operations:As detailed in the tables below, total organic home-based revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 10.0% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, while organic Medicare revenue decreased 11.7%. The primary cause for the decrease in organic revenue in the home-based segment was the CMS rule for 2011, which reduced Home Health Medicare rates by 5.2%. Patient acuity also decreased by 2.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2011. This reduction was offset by growth in home health commercial revenue and in hospice net service revenue.
The primary costs of delivering care to our patients are personnel cost, which remained relatively the same in the three months period ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. However, net service revenue in the home-based services segment was reduced in 2011 by the 5.2% CMS rate cut resulting in an increase in cost of service revenue as a percentage of net service revenue.
Net service revenue increased by $11.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effect of the CMS rule for 2011 that reduced home health Medicare rates by 5.2% was offset by a 4.3% increase in average census in our home-based segment and a 2.9% increase in average patient days in our facility-based segment.
At September 30, 2011, our allowance for uncollectible accounts, as a percentage of patient accounts receivable, was approximately 12.1%, or $10.8 million, compared to 10.9% or $9.8 million at December 31, 2010. Days sales outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 47 days and 44 days, respectively. Our calculation of days sales outstanding is derived by dividing our ending net patient accounts receivable (i.e., net of estimated revenue adjustments and allowance for doubtful accounts) at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 by our average daily net patient revenues for the three months period ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Hospice payments are also subject to an inpatient cap and an overall payment cap. The inpatient cap relates to individual programs receiving more than 20% of its total Medicare reimbursement from inpatient care services. The overall payment cap relates to individual programs receiving reimbursements in excess of a cap amount, which is calculated by multiplying the number of beneficiaries receiving services during the period by a statutory amount that is indexed for inflation. The determination for each cap is made annually based on the 12-month period ending on October 31 of each year. We monitor our limits on a provider-by-provider basis. While historically we have not exceeded these caps, our revenue could be affected if we exceed the cap limits in the future.

Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008 | 2:05 a.m.
In the recent past, the expected opening of a casino is what drew reporters to long lines of prospective employees. This week it was the expected opening of an In-N-Out Burger.
Las Vegas Sun reporter Timothy Pratt observed Monday the growing amazement of Grace Robinson, manager of the Holiday Inn Express where applications for entry-level jobs at the restaurant were being taken.
She had not prepared for the steady inflow of so many people, most of them desperate. As Pratt reported, she scrambled to find extra rooms and chairs as jobless men and women kept arriving on a cold and rainy morning.
It was estimated that the two-day opportunity to apply for the at-most 50 jobs that pay $10 an hour to start would draw more than 1,000 people.
Privately owned In-N-Out Burger turned 60 years old this year, and it has earned a reputation as a good place to work.
But on Monday and Tuesday the people pouring in may not have known that. They were looking for work wherever they could find it.
The local economy is getting worse, mirroring the national crisis that erupted last year and whose momentum seems unending.
In line Monday was a 42-year-old woman, Freda Beckwith. She has been jobless since Sept. 17, when she was laid off from the Bellagio where she was a cashier. Her dwindling hope rests with her work history that includes nine years as a cook at New York-New York. She carried documents showing she had once been employee of the month and that she had never been late or absent.
Behind on her mortgage, she said she thinks the dozens of jobs she has applied for are going to younger people. "Sometimes I just want to sit down and cry," she said.
The federal government, whose rescue plans are focused on bailing out big financial institutions, should be more aware that good people who want to work are on the verge of tears.

" Genre: Sports - Wrestling / Theatrical Release: 2003 / Suitable for 18 years and over / Actors: Steve 'Stone Cold' Austin, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Terry 'Hulk' Hogan, The Undertaker ... / DVD released 2003-07-14 at Clear Vision Ltd - WWE / Features of the DVD: PAL "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Wrestlemania XIX ( Henceforth referred to as WM19 ) was the 19th annual Wrestlemania Pay Per View event, it was held on March 30th 2003 at Safeco Field in Seattle Washington in front of 54,097 live fans.
The Matches : ( Warning SPoilers )
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs Matt Hardy ( C )
This is from the period, where for me Rey was one of the best in-ring performers to watch, however since then his gain of Muscle Mass and nagging injuries have made him a shadow of the wrestler he once was, but this was an impressive match that could have shaped up to be a 5 star match, had it not been booked to be too short, at less than 6 minutes it certainly left you wanting more !!
The Undertaker vs A-Train & The Big Show
'Taker' gets his entrance music played live by Limp Bizkit and its safe to say it was pretty awesome, the match itself actually turned out better than I thought it would with the predictable ending, but some solid wrestling from 3 big men
WWE Womens Championship
Trish Stratus vs Jazz vs Victoria ( C )
This actually was an entertaining match that was booked just right, with 3 of the more talented female wrestlers to come down the pipeline in the last few years, some nice spots with Trish picking up the win and the belt
WWE Tag Team Championship
Los Guerreros vs Chris Benoit and Tajiri vs Team Angle ( C )
This match had the potential to steal the show, and while im not sure it actually did, it was quite the amazing match with each man getting his chance to shine on the grandest stage of them all, solid contest with some great spots that ran about 5 minutes too short in my opinion.
Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho.
Not a bad match with some good strong wrestling, considering Shawn Michaels is in the ring with one of the best performers of the last 10 years I was a little surprised this didn't turn out to be a 5 star match, it did seem a little weak and soft in places, but still a great match and worth watching, great heel moment at the end by Jericho
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Booker T vs Triple H ( C )
This really was at the peak of Triple H's trying to rule the world and not putting anyone else over, it was a damn shame really as normally you expect the see the big belt change hands at Wrestlemania, however Hunter managed to leave with his iron grip firmly around the Gold, good match with some nice moments, but disappointing finish that made Booker look weak ( i'm sure intentionally )
Vince McMahon vs "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan
This was always going to be a terrible match, and while maybe not stinking up the place, did turn out to be pretty awful, but it was never about the wrestling ability and holds and suplexes, it was about the story and the two performers told a great story.
The Rock vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
This will always be remembered for the 3rd and final time these men met at Wrestlemania ( Brings a tear to my eye ) and with the incredible chemistry these two men possess in the ring it was always going to be an incredible match that told a great story, and boy did it ever, the Rock played his part perfectly and Stone Cold looked great in the ring ( Considering he spent the previous night in the Emergency Room ), these two men truly create magic when they're in the ring and this is a must see for any fan ( and you should check out the Mania of Wrestlemania Documentary on the extras disc of WM20, for the great story behind this match and the great respect each of these men have for each other )
Wrestling will never get this good again and I do see this match as the last great match and feud the WWE had, and things started to go downhill slightly since this moment
WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle ( C )
This one had the potential to steal the show...and did, albeit partly for the wrong reasons, Kurt Angle went into this match hurt rather badly and as such could have been seriously injured in this match, that alone could have created a match where each man took their foots off the gas and played it safe, that was NOT the case here at all, we were treated to a 5 star match with some amazing Wrestling and some incredible storytelling.
The main story of this match will always be Brock Lesnar's botched Shooting Star press towards the end of the match, how he didn't end up seriously injured or dead still amazes me., but if you've never seen it you need to see it to believe it.
This match is one of the best ever in my opinion
Wow, this is how you do Wrestlemania Vince !! the Event was pretty much a winner from the start, even the matches that should have been terrible ( Undertaker vs A-Train / Big Show ) actually were pretty good matches, and the highlights ( and there were many ) were truly high, this may not be the best WM ever ( that accolade still goes to WM17 in my opinion ) but I would say this is in the top 5.
Essential viewing for any wrestling fan, and in fact why isn't this in your collection ????????
WrestleMania 19 isn't particularly remembered among wrestling fans as one of the best WM PPVs, but it is a solid attempt and features an unforgettable main event, particularly due to the famous Shooting Star Press botch from Brock Lesnar. Overall, it retains the epic feel you expect from a WM event, and there's some great fights here.
The first match sees Matt Hardy take on Rey Mysterio for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The match is WAY too short, though, and it's a shame that such talented performers aren't given more time.
In the PPV's real dud, The Undertaker yakes on The Big Show and A-Train in a Handicap Match after his partner Nathan Jones is attacked. Not one of Taker's best WM matches at all.
Probably one of my favourite matches on the PPV features Shawn Michaels facing Chris Jericho. There are no titles on the line, and not even a particularly developed feud, but this is a superb, thrilling athletic contest and definitely one of Jericho's best WM fights, and not bad one for HBK either.
Triple H and Booker T square off to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship, and although the result is depressingly predictable, this is still a good fight that really goes to distance.
One of the stranger, but admittedly quite enjoyable matches involves Hulk Hogan taking on Vince McMahon in a huge knockdown drag-out fight, with the employee taking on his employer, in a concept that surely anyone can identify with. It's got tonnes of extras and is a fun little fight.
One of my favourite matches has The Rock fighting Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a reversal of their excellent WrestleMania 15 match, with Rock now as a fully fledged Heel. It's a great match that shows they both still have it, and has a satisfying result.
The main event is also a doozy; Brock Lesnar hopes to capture the WWE Championship from Kurt Angle, in an intense match that has some pretty hairy moments (particularly the aforementioned Shooting Star incident), and has a satisfying result also.
As far as WM PPVs go, this is a good one, even if it's more low-key than the likes of XX.
An excellent Wrestlemania which was headlined by the match that had supposedly been building up for twenty years - The Immortal Hulk Hogan vs his evil boss Vince McMahon. It was hardly going to be a technical highlight reel but this brawl featured some great spots, great heat and an surprising appearance from Roddy Piper, which got one of the spots of the night.
Although this Wrestlemania was built around this match, it didnt actually top the show. Kurt Angle defended his World Title against Brock Lesnar in the final match, in an absolutely blistering main event.
Elsewhere Stone Cold and The Rock battled for a third time on a Wrestlemania, in a match which Austin wasn't into, and was simply a fodder to push Rock for his upcoming feud with Goldberg, Booker T was crushed by Triple H in a stinker, Team Angle, Los Guerreros and Rhyno and Chris Benoit danced a fine dance in a Tag Team encounter, and Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels put together a modern day classic.
All in all, one of the better Wrestlemanias and definitely worth a watch.

Stephen Strasburg's first start Tuesday exceeded all expectations, especially in terms of dominance: He racked up 14 strikeouts without a walk, throwing just 94 pitches over seven innings. That electrifying stuff (displayed with 17 swinging strikes) combined with pinpoint command is what makes the 21-year-old so extraordinary. For Strasburg, everything builds off his high-90s fastball; he throws both a four-seamer and a two-seamer, which he blew past batters Tuesday for eight of his swinging strikes. And his secondary pitches are great as well. He has a high-80s circle change that he locates low in the zone, and a low-80s, knee-bending curve.
On Tuesday, he had everything working. Using the pitch f/x data, and focusing on the location, pitch type and results broken up by batter handedness, let's take a closer look at just what kind of craziness the Pirates were trying to hit.
In the graphs below, the pitches are color-coded: Taken pitches are faded, and those that are swung at are in full color. Whiffed pitches (swinging strikes) are marked with an x, and hits are circled. This leaves foul balls or outs as full color with no markings. The images are from the catcher's perspective.
Strasburg was beyond nasty against righties. A full 50 percent of the pitches they swung at were missed, well above the league average of less than 20 percent. The two hits were opposite-field singles to shallow right, as Andy LaRoche and Lastings Milledge desperately did all they could with a pair of outside high-90s fastballs. But mostly it is tons of whiffs, on fastballs up in the zone and on changeups and curves low in the zone. Also, notice how everything is near the zone –- when he misses, it's not by much. That demonstrates Strasburg's amazing command; the fact that he can pitch at those velocities and with that much movement and still be so tightly around the zone with his pitches is astounding.
Against lefties Strasburg expertly keeps the ball low and away, which is where lefties typically do the least damage. The home run allowed to Delwyn Young, a change low in the zone, was an exception, and a mistake he will certainly learn from. Still, even facing opposite-handed hitters, he got a ton of whiffs on fastballs up-and-away and on curves and changeups down-and-in.
Anyone who watched the performance knows that he put on a clinic. These images tell some of the story, but he really has to be seen to be believed. It isn't always going to go this well for Strasburg, but in his major league debut he, impossibly, exceeded the hype. This kid is special.

Discussion in 'Vendors' started by Phil_Ammendolia, Jan 5, 2014.
I went in to Honda World. I called Plaza cycle and they didn't have anything either.
Hi cba191,
I spoke with my rep in the area and he's visiting some key accounts tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll have good news for you in a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The new FF393 Convert is truly the Swiss Army Knife of helmets.
Converts from a full face to a 3/4, open face by flipping the chin bar to the back. Retractable "Full Eclipse" sun shield and adjustable face shield work in both modes. DOT approved quick release chin strap. Round head shape.
DOT approved.

Suggested retail = $399.99
Hi all,
With the increase in interest in adventure riding comes an increase in interest in adventure gear. I get a lot of questions about the MX453 and one I am asked most often is, "How does it fit?"
The MX453 uses a long oval shape which is one of THE most popular in the United States. I've found that about 9 out of 10 people who put this on like or love the way it fits.
Some feel the cheek pads are too tight, and when you first take it off the shelf, they might be. But they break-in quickly, and we've found that for most people, they form to a very comfortable fit that stays where it belongs when the road gets a little rough. I've found that the cheek pads break-in within about 100 miles and I've had one that I put over 3200 miles on and it still fit like it had at 100 miles.
You can swap the cheek pads between ALL sizes on the MX453. In this video, I goof and say the pads interchange between XS and XL. That was a mistake. They WILL swap between XS and XXL. If yours fits too tight or too loose, you can customize the fit by swapping pads. Unless this is VERY uncomfortable or too loose, I would stick with the stock pads and give them a chance to break in.

This is a comparison shot between medium pads and XL.
The THICKER pads are the medium pads. The smaller the size, the thicker the pad and the larger the size the thinner the pad.
The MX453 is FIBERGLASS. Fiberglass is a great material for building a helmet. It is a more expensive material that absorbs and disperses energy efficiently and you can build a helmet that is lighter in weight.
Hope that helps.
I finally had the chance to wear the mx442 helmet for some serious hours yesterday. I wore it from around 9am to 6pm, only breaking for lunch. Mostly off-road, with a few short road sections. High speed stuff and low speed stuff.
First, it fits as good as my Arai. No question about that. It was more comfortable by the end of the day because it is so much lighter. I had very little neck fatigue.
It fit fine with my Scott goggles. I wear contacts mostly, but I did try wearing my glasses. It is hard to get my wire framed glasses into the helmet. The ear pads didn't want to cooperate there. My Arai wins in that department.
At speeds over 75, the peak did feel a bit like a kite. I will adjust it's position today. It was surprisingly quiet at speed though. I was very surprised
All in all, so far, I give it an A. I'll race (well, as slow as I am, that's a relative statement) Sandblast rally Saturday. I'll give another update then.
Spoke with Brian at Atomic Moto last night and placed an order for a MX 453. Look forward to receiving the helmet and posting up my thoughts.
Very cool, clint64. I'll look forward to your review.

Hi all,
Working for LS2 is not ALL about helmets. I get to do and see some pretty cool things. About 6 months ago, I was visiting some close friends of mine and they showed me a box of rusty, corroded old parts that they were sending to the legendary Dick Mann. A few weeks later, he had turned that box of parts into this.
Yep, it is street legal. It has the original style "Made in England" sticker on the frame, and on the swing arm, in a very similar font a sticker that says "Remade in Nevada." Pretty cool and I thought you all might like to see it.
Fiberglass. 2.5 pounds in a size M. DOT and ECE approved. Suggested retail is $149.95. They run about 1 size large. I wear a medium in all LS2 helmets except the MX442, where I need a small.
LS2 MX442 Motorcycle Helmet.
Hi all,
On another thread here the topic of the OF569 came up. The OF569 is a 3/4, open face design. It has our Full Eclipse retractable sun screen and a flip-up face shield. It has incredible peripheral visibility. Scroll down and you can see what REALLY sets the OF569 apart from the competition - the 4-point retention system.
Top vents flow through and are ported out the back for flow-through ventilation.
The OF569 has a DOT/ECE approved quick release chin strap.
But the feature that really separates the LS2 OF569 from other motorcycle helmets in its class is the 4-point retention system. It has the normal chin strap, but there are also two additional straps that reach behind the head and rivet to the back of the shell. These create a cradling effect that helps hold the helmet in place in the event of a tumble.
The Full Eclipse Sun Screen is activated using this switch.
The LS2 OF569 open face motorcycle helmet is ECE and DOT approved and has a suggested retail of $129.99.
I just bought this helmet and it is really gorgeous. Love all the neat features and can't beat the price. However, it is really small compared to my FF386 - a large that fits me perfectly. It seems the shape is also rounder (not at all oval like the FF386) and presses on my forehead. I am actually disappointed. I'm not sure that I will be able to live with it in the hopes that it will break in. My knoggin circumference measures about 59cm plus maybe a 1/4 or 3/8.
So Phil, what's your experience with this model? Do you think should I try and exchange it for another large? Or should I go up to an X-Large? I don't like loose helmets at all. That's almost worse than a tight one which might eventually break in.
Hi cpallen,
I'm sorry to hear this. It is possible that the EPS on the F569 is just not the right shape for you. Most find it very similar to the FF386, but like you, it feels less of an oval than the 386 to me. I personally had to go one size larger than I normally wear due to the shape, but for my head shape, it was still snug enough to be safe.
The good news is that you can swap the top padding in this model, so if you wanted to try an XL top pad, it would be an easy swap and you can leave the cheek pads alone. Large - XXL use the same EPS size. The question I'd need you to answer is whether it is a matter of padding or if, even with a little thinner padding, it would still put pressure where you don't want it.
Keep me posted and let me know if my info helped.
Thanks Phil for your quick response. I pulled the top padding out and I have plenty of room with just the eps so it would seem that thinner padding would work.
Now, how can I get the XL padding? From the vendor where I purchased the helmet?
Thanks, this should salvage the situation.
None of us really like to think about falling off, but we also know it is a reality of riding motorcycles. Sometimes people and bikes fall down. There was a helmet impact study done by a man named Dietmar Otte. It shows that there is a 62.8% chance that you will hit your face in the event of a crash. Pretty good argument for wearing a full face helmet.
So why would LS2 Helmets make 1/2 helmets and open face? Well, first because according to the CDC, you have a 37% better chance of surviving a motorcycle accident by wearing ANY DOT approved helmet and we want people to wear a helmet, whether they want a full face or not. Second, because we know that riding is a calculated risk and we believe in freedom of choice.
We also believe the safest riders are trained and educated riders. So, based upon the work of Dietmar Otte, we proffer this image and information.
You can learn more at http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/mc/guide/prevention.html.
LS2 Helmets has a slogan, "Protecting Dreams." It honestly is why we do what we do.

Bottom line of this video is that adventure is where you find it.

I continue to be very impressed with the comfort, features and quality of your helmets. The price point is attractive but comfort is priceless. I amassed quite the collection of helmets trying to find one I can wear all day.

Tanzania holidays news: Celebrities scale Kilimanjaro
Travellers keen to book trekking holidays in Tanzania may be inspired to do so by the exploits of a group of activists and Hollywood stars.
A party including actress Jessica Biel, Into the Wild star Emile Hirsch, rapper Lupe Fiasco and representatives from the UN succeeded in climbing Kilimanjaro, which at more than 19,300 ft in height is the tallest peak in Africa.
The group undertook the trekking challenge to raise awareness about the need for clean water - which one billion people across the world do not have access to.
On scaling the mountain, actor Hirsch described the experience as "the most intense and physically gruelling" activity he had ever been involved in.
"To have such a complete success for such a worthwhile cause more than reaching the summit is what is really satisfying," he added.
Anyone who wished to replicate the achievement of the famous names can do so by booking one of The Adventure Company's Kilimanjaro Trek - Machame Routetrekking holidays.
If this article sparks your imagination then have a look at our trekking holidays or our Tanzania holidays page
We've over 250 adventures worldwide & take 10,000 travellers away annually. We've been operating over 15 years & pioneered the concept of family adventures.
We go on most of our holidays so can offer excellent firsthand advice. Last year 90% of passengers rated our trip 'excellent' or 'good'

text: I am going to be swapping in a 83 351w in to my 94 mustang convertible and need a suggestion for a cam. I would like to purchase an off-the-shelf cam instead of going through the trouble of a custom ground cam. I will be keeping it as a flat-tappet, so keep that in mine. NO HYDRAULIC ROLLER CAMS! Here are the mods that will be going in along with it: -Edelbrock performer intake upper/lower [Ported/Polished to match heads] -Stock heads [Ported and polished to match intake] -Ford racing oil pan -Underdrive pullies -75mm throttle body -4cyl foxbody T5 [Car was originally an AODE. Will be switching to a normal T5 after this one blows up, gears are too short] -4.10 rear gears [going to probably be lowering these so I don't run out of RPMs] -68mm turbo [Boost Brothers Kit] -Custom meth injection -Magnaflow 2.5" exhaust -42# Injectors -255lph fuel pump -LMAF -Moates Quarterhorse -28oz balancer -28oz flywheel -King Cobra clutch -adjustable clutch cable -Ford racing quadrant -Removed AC/Smog Okay, I know the heads are going to limit me, but I'm out of money right now. I'm hoping to make most of the power with the turbo at about 12psi. I'm hoping to reach 5-600rwhp with this setup and low 11's/high 10's.

Prior Written Notice
Information Explaining What the School District Is Doing
Prior written notice is a document outlining important school district decisions about your student's special education program. It is not a meeting invitation. School districts must provide you with prior written notice after a decision has been made regarding matters affecting your student's IEP
or eligibility for special education, but before any decision is implemented or changes to your student's program take place.
Prior written notice must be provided in your native language or other mode of communication that you understand.
There is no exhaustive list outlining when prior written notice is required.
Prior written notice, however, must be provided a reasonable time before the school district:
A prior written notice will document that full consideration has been given to any input or information you provided regarding your student's educational needs, and clarifies that a decision has been made. It must explain why the district proposes or refuses to take action by (1) describing the options the district considered and (2) explaining its reasons for accepting or rejecting those options. The prior written notice should also document any disagreements with you and should clearly describe the reasons for this disagreement.
Some examples of when you will receive prior written notice are:
Prior written notice is not a meeting invitation. After a meeting, however, the district must provide prior written notice to you of the decisions made as a result of the meeting. Prior written notice is particularly important following an IEP Team meeting. If the content of an IEP reflects a district's decision not to provide certain services to your student, or if the district refuses to make the changes you are requesting to an IEP, then the district must provide prior written notice to you of their decision.

Sarah Gardner: Today, news of the latest casualty from the wireless battlefront: Handset maker Nokia is adding another 10,000 workers to its layoff list. The company's already announced 30,000 job cuts just in the past two years. Nokia's also warning investors that its second quarter losses are going to be worse than they thought. Blame the competition from Apple's iPhone and Google's Android operating system.
So, can Nokia survive? Marketplace's senior business correspondent Bob Moon reports.
Bob Moon: You don't have to rewind very far to figure out why all this is starting to sound painfully familiar.
Montage of past Marketplace stories: "Nokia, the big mobile phonemaker, said today it's laying off 4,000 people around the world..." "Nokia cut its revenue projections -- just the latest step in a downward spiral..."
That news from last year only seems to be getting worse; this latest round brings the total number of planned layoffs since 2010 to one in every three Nokia workers.
Ben Wood: It's now laid off 40,000 people, which by any measure is dramatic.
Ben Wood is an analyst at Britain's CCS Insight. He says without these cuts, the company feared it could face a cash crunch -- even before it could introduce its full line of new Windows-based smartphones.
Wood: It's absolutely clear these are make-or-break decisions that have been taken today.
But Wood says that doesn't necessarily mean Nokia should be counted out. The company pivoted quickly to launch is first Windows phone recently.
And although sales in the U.S. and Europe have been less than hoped for, Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi says there other places to grow. Nokia is a well-known name globally, and could be in a good position to take advantage of its brand -- if it can just hold out long enough.
Carolina Milanesi: In emerging markets, there's a huge opportunity with economies improving in markets like India, for instance, and China -- where you have users there that will be migrating to smartphones.
Still, analyst Ben Wood says Nokia has no room for error.
Wood: It's still playing catch-up, and while it's playing catch-up, other big companies like Apple and Samsung have made further strides forward.
Wood says today's cuts could help put the company in a better position to stay in the game.
I'm Bob Moon for Marketplace.

The Good Samaritan or Goodie Two-Shoes?
Most Christians have either read or heard a discussion on the narrative of the Good Samaritan as depicted in Luke 10.
However, I get the impression that most don't understand what is being said. Jesus spoke in a figurative language. When He spoke to the crowds, he spoke in parables. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus responded to a lawyer who had asked, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus responded by asking him, "What is written in the law?" The lawyer responded with, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." Jesus responded and said, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live."
This presents an interesting dichotomy of Scripture. On one hand, in John 14, Jesus states that He is the true way to eternal life. On the other hand, Jesus is saying that by following the above commandments, you may inherit eternal life. What gives here? How do we resolve this dichotomy? This contrast can be resolved by going beyond the traditional views of the Good Samaritan as being a goodie two-shoes by treating the parable as an impressive allegory of the fall and redemption of mankind.
Jesus knew that the lawyer would be uneasy with His response. The lawyer, seeking assurance that he is justified by his reply to receive eternal life, asked the fateful question, "Who is my neighbor?" The lawyer, being a lawyer, is going to cross-examine himself and make sure that there is no loophole or escape clause that could deny him eternal life.
Jesus begins His parable: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho." Jerusalem means "Possession of Peace" or is sometimes called the city of peace. Here Jerusalem represents the Garden of Eden. The man represents Adam and Eve, or mankind, who left the Garden of Eden. This is fallen man.
Jericho is the lowest city on the earth (825 feet below sea level) and was a hedonistic resort area where Herod had built a vacation palace. The name Jericho means "fragrance," and it is the fragrant lure of sin that attracts mankind to the world. Jericho represents hell, or perhaps the world at its worse-chaos rather than peace.
On the way to Jericho, the man fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him near death. The thieves represent the influence of unclean spirits who rob the man of what dignity he has left, and the accuser, Satan, leaves him exposed for the sins that he committed. The pains of life are represented by the wounds. Being close to death, Satan is probably saying to God, "Is he not mine?"
As an example, you pick up the morning paper and on the front page the headlines read, "CEO of Dottcom Inc. arrested for embezzling $10 million." The next day you read that the CEO was addicted to cocaine and had an affair with his secretary. His wife is divorcing him. The CEO is now sitting at the side of the road stripped of his dignity and his sins are exposed to the world.
Switching back to the parable, just by chance a priest came walking down the road. When he saw the man, he passed by on the other side of the road. The priest symbolizes the Law of Moses. It was not that the priest didn't want to help the man, but the Law of Moses did not have the power to save him.
Likewise, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw the man, passed by on the other side of the road. Levites, from the tribe of Levi, were charged with the care of the sanctuary. They assisted priests and were judges, scribes, lawyers, gatekeepers, and musicians. One again, the works of the Levite could not save the man. The law and its works offered no life-giving salvation.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. (Romans 3:27, 28)
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. (Galatians 2:16)
Remember, Jesus is addressing a lawyer who is trying to justify himself. He in a sense is saying that man is not justified by works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ.
Then a Samaritan-one rejected by the Jews-came along and helped the man on the side of the road. The Samaritan represents Christ.
Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me." (John 8:48, 49)
Jesus did not deny that he was a Samaritan, as he was from Nazareth, which is in Samaria. Because of the cultural and religious differences of the era, the Jews had no respect for Samaritans.
The Samaritan displayed the mind of Christ, showing mercy and compassion to the man on the side of the road. He begins his means of salvation by bandaging the man's wounds. Allowing Jesus to bandage him says that the man is accepting his help, repenting of his sins, and letting Jesus forgive him of his sins.
The Samaritan then anoints him with oil and wine. The wine cleanses the wound. Spiritually, the wine is the atoning blood or the knowledge of sin that stings at first but washes away the sin and purifies the soul, allowing God's Spirit to reside within us. The oil is soothing and brings comfort. The Holy Spirit is our comforter. Through his actions, the Good Samaritan saves the man from death.
The Samaritan then set the man on his own animal (a beast of burden) and brought him to an inn. This reflects Jesus bearing the burden of our sins. The inn represents the Church. It is here that the man will grow in Christ and become like him. To facilitate this, the Samaritan handed two denarii to the innkeeper and said, "Take care of him." The innkeeper represents the pastor of the church, while the two denarii represent an equal amount knowledge and understanding of the ways of God. The pastor is to instruct his congregation with knowledge and understanding of God's ways.
The Lord spoke the following to Jeremiah about the importance of pastoral leadership:
And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15)
After giving the two denarii to the innkeeper, the Samaritan said, "Whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you." This speaks of the Lord's second coming.
Jesus finishes the narration by saying that the neighbor to him who fell among the thieves is the one who showed mercy, and He commands us to go and do likewise. Being a goodie two-shoes will not save you. Loving your neighbor as yourself cannot be fulfilled by addressing situations with the law and the works of the law. Therefore, the lawyer could not achieve eternal life without faith in Jesus Christ. The spirits of compassion and mercy come from the heart, not from the law. This nature comes from salvation and obtaining the mind of Christ.
The way of peace is to walk back towards Jerusalem-the city of peace. The tree of life grows in Zion, the Garden of Eden. It is sad to see those who walk out of the inn and head back towards Jericho-towards destruction and certain death.
Note: This write-up comes from Chapter 6 of my latest book, Genesis 1 – The Design and Plan for the Kingdom of Heaven.

dr. g's tips
Dr. Gridlock's tips: 14th Street bridge work, Franconia-Springfield garage
14th Street bridge
The work zone on the northbound 14th Street bridge is about to shift again.
On Monday, if the plan goes according to schedule, commuters will find the left-center lane blocked as they head for either 14th Street or the Southeast-Southwest Freeway.
That means the work zone will have moved one lane to the left. After a year-long phase in which the far-right lane was the only one blocked off, the bridge rehabilitation project has moved out fairly rapidly across the span. The current work zone was set up in July.
Although the concrete barriers will be in a different spot this week, the task for drivers remains basically the same. They must navigate around this construction island to line up for either 14th Street or the freeway.
Drivers heading for the bridge from northbound Interstate 395 can use the left exit lane (Exit 10C) as a through lane onto the bridge. They will not be required to exit, and they can continue onto the bridge.
When the work zone ends, there's about an eighth of a mile left to make lane changes before the highway divides.
There is always a lot of traffic movement across the bridge, but pay particular mind to drivers merging from the northbound George Washington Parkway on the right, who are going to have limited space to move left if their destination is 14th Street.
Franconia-Springfield garage
The next phase of Metro's parking garage rehabilitation at Franconia-Springfield Station will temporarily take away as many as 220 spaces near the entrance to Level 4 starting Tuesday.
During each of the 12 phases of the project, which began last fall and is scheduled to be finished next spring, a segment of the 5,069-space garage at the end of the Blue Line is closed to parking. These are some alternatives that have free parking: Springfield Mall on levels 2, 4 or 6 of the Macy's garage, the Backlick North Park & Ride at 6831 Backlick Road; or the Gambrill Road Park & Ride, 7321 Gambrill Rd. At each location, there are bus stops nearby with routes to the Metro station.
New pattern at intersection
The District Department of Transportation has closed the ramp from northbound South Dakota Avenue to eastbound Riggs Road, marking the latest phase in the reconstruction project near the Fort Totten Metro station. Drivers heading north on South Dakota must now go to the traffic signal at the intersection to make a right turn onto Riggs Road.
In an upcoming phase, the ramp from eastbound Riggs Road to southbound South Dakota Avenue also will be removed. These permanent ramp closings are part of DDOT's plan to rebuild the junction from a hybrid intersection/interchange into a traditional four-way intersection. DDOT predicts that the new version will be safer for drivers, walkers and cyclists and provide a more suitable environment for neighborhood development.
Commuter bus proposal
During one of my online chats, a traveler asked whether the completion of the Intercounty Connector would be accompanied by new bus routes.
The Maryland Transit Administration hopes to add new bus service when the east-west connector's first segment, between Interstate 370 and Georgia Avenue, is completed late this year or early next. Transit administration spokesman Terry Owens said that two express bus routes initially would operate along the connector and other roads to link park-and-ride lots in Montgomery County with Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport, MARC's Penn Line and Fort Meade.
The airport service would operate daily between 4 a.m. and 11 p.m., and trips to Fort Meade would be limited to weekday rush periods. There also are prospects for three other bus routes that would add service between Columbia and Bethesda, Urbana and College Park, and Greenbelt and Germantown.

The Reliability of Mammography
By Deborah Pate, DC, DACBRBreast cancer is a very serious public health problem. It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, and its political and socioeconomic implications are enormous! The incidence of breast cancer has more than doubled in the past 30 years: In 1964, the lifetime risk was 1 in 20; today, it is 1 in 8. More than 180,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Breast cancer is not only one of the leading causes of death in women in general, but also the leading cause of death in American women ages 40-55.
The leading risk factor for developing breast cancer is simply being female; the next most important risk factor is age. Breast cancer risk increases directly with age. The American Cancer Society recommends that women ages 20 and older perform monthly breast self-examinations and receive a physical examination every three years, and that women age 40 and older receive an annual mammogram and physical examination. Mammography is still touted as the single most effective method of screening, but it fails to detect as many as 20 percent of breast cancer cases in women over age 50, and as many as 50 percent in younger women.
There have been many papers published in the past 12 years concerning breast MRI, and virtually all of them indicate that MRI is a technique with incredibly high sensitivity for the detection of breast cancer. It has a specificity far better than conventional mammography, and yet few professionals are doing it. For some reason, it has not gained any popularity in the medical community at large.
Why is breast MRI not readily available? Reasons include cost; difficulty understanding this imaging modality; time required to train a professional to use the modality; and the medical community itself. This last reason is most disturbing. Many radiologists and mammographers have spent enormous amounts of money and time trying to convince the government and the public of the value of X-ray mammography. To "shift gears" now would be difficult - even embarrassing. In short, it is a very touchy subject.
The purpose of this article is to inform and allow readers to develop their own opinions. So, here are some interesting facts:
What does this all mean? Take a look at the National Breast Cancer Coalition site, and then determine the reliability of mammography yourself.
To date, there is only one reliable screening procedure: the BSE. Early detection is paramount in saving lives. Mammography is not a reliable screening modality. Now, here's the rub: MRI is too expensive presently to use as a screening modality, and not easily available to the general population. We are left with BSE, and clinicians who still send women out for mammograms when women find something on their own BSEs. This is not good medical practice. Both the clinician and the patient are uninformed or just ignoring the facts. This disease process is increasing in over half the population, with no cost-effective means of screening for the disease - with the exception of self-examination. Moreover, the majority of clinicians and the population still rely on a modality that is not reliable. I remind you of the old adage, "Let the buyer be ware." Or is it, more appropriately, "What you don't know can hurt you"? Everyone needs to take responsibility for his or her own health and stay informed.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Made in 2005 and released to theaters for about five minutes, Ninja's Creed was originally born under the alternate title of Royal Kill, which isn't really any better or worse a title. The film somehow managed to be Pat Morita's swansong, he passed away shortly after his work on the picture was done, but Lionsgate would like you to believe that it's a starring vehicle for WWE Diva, Gail Kim. That's her, looking both foxy and dangerous, there on the cover art to the right.
When the movie begins, some ridiculously pompous narration alerts us to the fact that two mystical and completely made up kingdoms are deeply involved in a power struggle. We know these kingdoms are at least exotic, as they exist somewhere in Asia and a wonky still painting is shown on screen as our narrator brings us up to speed. One side is evil and they've managed to knock off everyone of the heirs to the throne of the good side but one thanks to their wise decision to employ the services of an assassin named Nadia (Gail Kim) who is, despite what the title implies, not really a ninja at all. The good guys have an ace up their sleeve, however, in the form of a tough guy named Adam Artahvan (Alexander Wraith). The last surviving heir to the good guy's throne is named Jan (Lalaine), who has somehow wound up in the care of her American father (Eric Roberts). As Adam, with some help from Mister Miyagi, sets out to find her and bring her back to rule their kingdom, the sexy but evil assassin gives chase. From there the movie rips off Fight Club and Clue while trying to dazzle us with infrequent and poorly staged action sequences until the inevitable finale and big twist ending, which appears here sans rad a Pixies song and any obvious appearance from Lee Ving, sadly.
Where to start... okay, first off, this isn't a ninja movie. It's got some fighting in it and some treachery where and there, but don't expect any Sho Kosugi style pajama clad sneak attacks or Shinobi No Mono inspired lunacy. Instead, the action here is, not surprisingly, shot close in using a shaky-cam to give it that Bourne Identity feel, you know, the kind of look that worked well in that trilogy but which has since been ripped off to the point where it now feels old and tired? In the film's defense, it was made in 2005, when that craze was in full swing, but really here it seems like a way to compensate for a low budget and to hide the fact that the cameraman really don't seem to know how to shoot a fight scene in the first place.
Another of the film's many bizarre traits is the tendency to have much of the dialogue delivered by parties off screen. Unlike the opening sequence, this isn't narration, but actual character dialogue. Likely a way to do most of the voice work via ADR, and in turn save on retakes and continuity issues, it gives the film a really odd tone. Add to that the fact that the film's two name actors - Pat Morita and Eric Roberts - were obviously hired for a single day and you wind up with a movie in which they basically never appear on camera with the other actors but instead interact with people who are obviously not there or spend a lot of time on the phone in an attempt to mask yet another staple of the low budget filmmaking industry. And then there's the scene where Pat Morita's character speaks backwards for some reason...
It all adds up to a strange film. Roberts and Morita show absolutely no enthusiasm for this project, both actors seemingly well aware that the material really is beneath them, which contrasts with the rather eager performances from Kim (whose thighs can literally kill a man, if he should be so lucky!) and Wraith (who was obviously first in line on the day when God was handing out cool last names). The violence is present but never as extreme as the movie wants us to think it is, while the concept really just basically buries itself with one unoriginal and predictable twist after another to the point where it becomes nigh impossible to take any of it seriously. The fact that the filmmakers obviously wanted us to do just that says something about the film, but somehow manages to make it all the more amusing in spite of itself. If that doesn't sell you on it, that's ok.
Ninja's Creed arrives on DVD in a 1.85.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. While a few stock footage inserts stand out like a sore thumb, the film looks okay for the low budget affair that it is. Shot fast and cheap, sometimes detail suffers at the hands of some inferior lighting but color reproduction is generally decent enough even if black levels aren't quite reference quality. While hardly a remarkable image, it's watchable enough. Just keep in mind that it uses a lot of shaky-cam work and was made for very little money - the look and picture quality reflects those budgetary constraints.
The sole audio option on this release is an English language Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound mix, with optional subtitles in English and Spanish. There's enough activity throughout the mix that it'll make you stand up and take notice when it needs to, but it's really nothing all that exciting for the most part. The score sounds alright, and dialogue is clear and well balanced but there isn't quite as much punch as you might expect here and the bass response is a little less powerful than you'd probably hope for. There aren't any serious problems to report, it's just a little underwhelming is all. For some reason, there are a few spots where the ADR appears to be suffering from synch problems.
There isn't a lot here but there is a behind the scenes featurette that clocks in at just over six minutes and length and which features some interviews with a couple of the cast members. It's too short to offer much substance. Likewise, the two and a half minute piece on the making of the score for the picture is little more than superficial promotional material. More substantial are the four deleted scenes (five minutes worth) and the nineteen minutes of outtakes from the shoot.
Aside from that, we get a trailer for the feature, some menus, and chapter selection.
Ninja's Creed is a pretty bizarre film. It never really works very well but it's got enough head scratching moments that fans of bad action movies might want to rent it. The PG-13 rating means that the violence never gets too over the top but it's got enough unintentionally funny dialogue and screwball plot devices that, should the worst that B-moviedom have to offer appeal to you, there is some entertainment value to be found. It's amusing, if for all the wrong reasons. Those not into the lowest of the low can safely skip it, the curious would be best served with a rental first.

Even with the plethora of information that is available on ChiefsPlanet, I'm still confused as to who I want to hear announced for the Chiefs. I know we need to improve our O line. I guess we need to find a replacement for JA. We seem short at WR, and I'm not sold on Croyle. Whose names do I want to hear on draft day for the Chiefs that will make the Planet feel as if it was a successful draft? Ducking my head and hitting Submit New Thread.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center Inc, Lovell, WY, USA
My experience with the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center began in 2004. As a professional photographer, leader of wild horse workshops and author of Among Wild Horses: A Portrait of The Pryor Mountain Mustangs, I have often depended on the knowledge and help of this non-profit group. They play an important role in educating the public about the Pryor Mountain wild horse herd, providing valuable information to visitors to the area and to the public, in general. They also provide time and hands-on labor to help with projects that are in the best interest of the horses. In addition, they are the caretakers of the archive of important historical documents related to the history of these special horses.
