- 30 Minutes Or Less
- Production year: 2011
- Country: Rest of the world
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 83 mins
- Directors: Ruben Fleischer
- Cast: Aziz Ansari, Bianca Kajlich, Danny McBride, Dilshad Vadsaria, Fred Ward, Jesse Eisenberg, Michael Pena, Nick Swardson
Jesse Eisenberg goes into Harold-and-Kumar mode without the drugs for this extremely watchable and funny thriller-farce directed by Ruben Fleischer, who made the similarly likable and free-wheeling Zombieland. Eisenberg plays Nick, an overeducated, self-hating loser with a terrible job delivering pizzas at breakneck speed in his abysmal car. Meanwhile, a loathsome brute called Dwayne and his beta-male hanger-on Travis (exquisitely played by Danny McBride and Nick Swardson) need $100,000 for a hitman to whack Dwayne's lottery-millionaire dad so that they can be really rich; they kidnap poor Nick and terrify him into robbing a bank to get them their hundred Gs. Nick ropes his nerdy teacher friend Chet (Aziz Ansari) into the plan and they discover that his experience at facing down kids makes him pretty good at intimidating bank tellers, and Nick's pizza-delivery skills make him a useful getaway driver. It's entirely ridiculous, but it gallops cheerfully along; everything is carried off with flair and ingenuity.

Haruto's initial love interest in Kimi No Iru Machi.
Nanami Kanzaki is the classmate and initial love-interest of Kimi no iru Machi protagonist Haruto. Despite Haruto's interest in her and the two having been classmates throughout middle school, they hadn't spoken to one another much before entering high school together at the series beginning.
Nanami states a desire to become better friends with Haruto and is quickly befriended by Haruto's new housemate, Yuzuki Eba, and soon begins socializing with the two, as well as with haruto's longtime friends Akari and Takashi in school. However, while she enjoys the rest of the group's company, she sometimes feels she isn't as close with them as they are with one another.
Nanami is considerate, responsible, though she can be quite shy at times, and has a mild temprament. She is usually depicted with a mild blush is sometimes quite passive, as seen when her elder brother Nurumi pushed her into becoming the baseball team's manager, when what she really wanted was to join the cooking club.
While Haruto has been attracted to Nanami for quite a long time, Nanami's thoughts and feelings towards him are often ambiguous.

Paul Laffoley, The Orgone Motor, 1981, oil, acrylic, vinyl lettering on canvas, 73 1/2 x 73 1/2".
The term post-critical has been thrown around in recent years to describe the ideals of hybridity and inclusivity governing much contemporary art. In this context, the exclusive category of "outsider artist" appears antiquated and counterproductive. Reflecting on this contemporary scenario, curators Udo Kittelmann and Claudia Dichter initiated a project space in Berlin's Hamburger Bahnhof dedicated to artists who have been largely excluded from the mainstream art world. In the second exhibition in their program, titled "Secret Universe II," the forty-year career of the Boston-based artist and architect Paul Laffoley is granted reassessment. Featuring over thirty paintings and prints comprising dense interplays between philosophical texts, mystical diagrams, and historical references, Laffoley's superb draftsmanship frames his paranoid and hyperactive assessments of how history interacts with and constructs the future.
Combining a Conceptualist sensibility with New Age illustration techniques, Laffoley's works reveal his engrossment in the alternative realities and lifestyles synonymous with the counterculture of the 1960s. His paintings evoke a Philip K. Dick–esque world where history, psychosis, and science fiction come together in ways that are simultaneously thought-provoking, entertaining, and, frankly, weird. Aligning his artistic practice with historical figures from R. Buckminster Fuller to Heraclitus, Laffoley gives an architectural schema to speculative notions and mysterious historical forms, tackling subjects as diverse as kabbalah, the shroud of Turin, quantum theory, cosmogenesis, the work of Wilhelm Reich, and the philosophy of Lucretius. His unconventional theories are delicately spelled out with adhesive lettering on the surfaces of his paintings, conveying his esoteric beliefs and giving the exhibition its legibly driven character. Yet the innovative pictorial arrangements of works such as The Orgone Motor, 1981, and The Eloptic Nohmagraphon, 1989, are often more captivating than the theories themselves. The exhibition provides an engaging introduction to Laffoley's fascinating career, and exemplifies the move in contemporary art to abolish "outsider" status.— Wes Hill
View of "Organizing the World," 2011.
Showcasing his forty-year career in an extraordinary range of media, Matt Mullican's retrospective assails viewers with the structured disorder for which he is known. The exhibition's title, "Organizing the World," is somewhat misleading, given that his "sign systems," as he calls them, are arranged eclectically and elude straightforward comprehension. Mullican's work essentially explores the way that signs, including language, can obscure the role that intuition or self-generated knowledge plays in one's navigation through life. This paradoxical position is intensified by the sheer range of work on view and the scale of the exhibition, which results in a difficult yet rewarding viewing experience. Mullican's work here evinces its crucial place in the progression of Conceptualist practice in America, emerging from John Baldessari's influence at CalArts in the early 1970s to add his own brand of ontological aporia to the mix.
Of course, no survey of Mullican's career could be complete without an examination of his work on hypnosis or his unique take on the notion of alternate worlds. These themes are skilfully amalgamated in Learning from That Person's Work, 2005; a mazelike display of paintings interspersed with multiple videos that depict the artist in a trance state. During a live performance at the Haus der Kunst, a hypnotized Mullican reenacted, in a quasi-autistic style, a stereotypical domestic scene that involved reading a newspaper at a breakfast table before heading off to work. This scenario was regularly punctuated with moments of crisis, during which he obsessively repeated phrases such as "I'm a fake, this isn't any good," in defiance of the narrative structure. Like the exhibition itself, the performance was riddled with glimpses of self-conscious doubt about whether his artistic forms could actually transcend their function as signs. Due to this brilliantly double-edged quality of his practice, the exhibition benefits from repeated and protracted visits, acquiring further nuances and complexities over time.— Wes Hill

Thomas Baldischwyler, Untitled (Documenta 5 - No Smoke), 2012, acrylic on paper, 24 1/2 x 34 1/3".
For Thomas Baldischwyler, painting is more an unrestrictive mode of practice than a medium. In his latest solo exhibition, his work encompasses figurative and abstract painting, fluorescent lights, readymade sculptures, and collages––all of which have a distinctly formal emphasis. This project takes its title, "The Truth About the Colonies," from a well-known anticolonialist exhibition organized by Surrealists and French Communist Party members in Paris in 1931. Yet in this context, the title suggests a dichotomy between sociopolitical responsibility and formal experimentation in art, while also serving to contextualize Baldischwyler's intuitive and performative approach to making work that draws on the history of Surrealism.
Displayed across two specially erected corrugated aluminum walls, four large, colorful abstract paintings, "Untitled (AE-G 1-4)," 2011, form the focal point of the exhibition. These paintings, composed of glistening swells of paint, appear simultaneously heavy and light. A painted collage depicting artists Jackson Pollock and Asger Jorn floating in outer space, Untitled (Jackson and Asger {In a Presentiment by Austin Osman Spare} - Smoking With Cthuluh), 2012, makes an overt reference to the Abstract Expressionist movement. Despite the art-historical irony, it is Baldischwyler's genuine affection for the lyric qualities of painting that prevents the exhibition from being overwhelmed by insincerity. This lyric concern is made literal by the multiple references to popular music, including a poetic collage of a Joy Division poster, Untitled (CF/JD - Smoke in the Glass), 2012, and a painting that features a photographic reproduction of Rick James, Untitled (Documenta 5 - No Smoke), 2012. Drawing on Surrealist, Pop, and Expressionist influences in a manner that brings to mind the work of the formerly Hamburg-based artist Albert Oehlen, Baldischwyler modifies Oehlen's post-punk snarl and presents an entertaining yet understated exhibition that mines the performativity of painting.— Wes Hill

Cathy Wilkes
Gesellschaft für aktuelle Kunst, Bremen, Germany
Untitled (detail), 2011, mixed media
Cathy Wilkes's dispersive installations are relationally orientated, but her practice is markedly different to those defined by Nicolas Bourriaud in Relational Aesthetics (1998). While confusing the boundaries between art and the everyday, Wilkes rarely attempts to communicate an essential point about art's socio-political dimension. Rather, by imbuing all aspects of the exhibition-making process with equal and autobiographical relevance, the Glasgow-based artist's show at the Gesellschaft für aktuelle Kunst (GAK) highlighted her expressive approach to installation art.
The exhibition was co-produced with the Kunstverein Munich, where – earlier in 2011 – Wilkes showcased a larger collection of new and old works. At the GAK, she purposefully stripped the show back to concentrate on a single sculptural tableau (Untitled, 2011) that was conceived in response to the recent death of her father. The artist's subtle employment of negative space was arresting, enabling the gallery architecture to dramatize the somber theme and provoking comparisons with artists such as Isa Genzken and Sarah Lucas, not to mention the early 1990s slacker aesthetic of Karen Kilimnik. Whereas for these three artists the use of diverse materials and a lightness of touch provide comical effect, Wilkes's junkyard-minimalism typically connotes the emotional condition of being weighed down by the world.
The exhibition's central installation presented an anguished scene inspired by Old Testament narratives, comprising papier-mâché sculptures of two dark-skinned women and a boy. One of the female sculptures was topless – and, like a mannequin, nipple-less – and kneeled in a black mini-skirt, gazing skyward with her arms raised. The other woman appeared frozen in frantic action, mouth wide open. Next to them kneeled a boy closely inspecting a collection of pinecones and green pipe-cleaners. Other objects filled in the rest of the surreal scene: a metal plough, a water tap, two toy rabbits, electric kettles, an unfinished papier-mâché sculpture. The loaded metaphorical content and poverty-stricken drama of the work appeared to be manifestations of the biblically inspired lyrics of Billie Holiday or Robert Johnson. It also alluded to the types of Dust Bowl environments famously depicted by Walker Evans.
Wilkes's inclusion of several abstract paintings (all Untitled, 2010–11) clearly contrasted with the main installation; however, they were united by their gloomy hues and a poetic treatment of materials. Having alluded to the work of Walter Sickert in Non-Verbal Installation (2005), which was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2008, Wilkes's paintings once again displayed her genuine fascination for Sickert's seedy and obscured aesthetic, as well as his succinct application of paint. Whereas in the aforementioned work her paintings functioned more as readymades, here they underscored the emotive impetus of the exhibition.
Accompanying the three small abstract paintings in the final gallery space were two large, pink table arrangements, which acted as installations and contextual presentations. On one of the tables sat an unpainted papier-mâché sculpture of a baby with an oversized tongue, on its hands and knees in an entanglement of fine wire in which bits of porridge and small saucepans were embedded (Untitled, 2010). The other table – a museological arrangement of personal memorabilia, including Fisher Price toys, childhood drawings, a childhood poem by the artist's brother, a Peanuts cartoon-strip from a newspaper, and two of her father's pocket Bibles – more clearly revealed the autobiographical origin of the exhibition. Here Wilkes seemed to encourage the viewer to consider the installation as having been shaped by her own reflections on her childhood in Northern Ireland. As such, Wilkes's artistic practice was related as a more complex extension of childhood play – progressing from shop-bought toys to life-size papier-mâché sculptures.
As both a personal expression and a type of Rorschach test, the exhibition gently persuaded viewers to decode its secret metaphors. Approaching the phenomenon of the exhibition as inherently performative and subjective, Wilkes drew attention to the gaps between the start of an art work – the artist's inspiration – and its 'end': the temporal arrangement of objects in a gallery.

Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC edition review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
Okay so Palit delivered us their GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost OC edition graphics card with 2048 MB GDDR5. Obviously all board partners will offer a wide variety of models/SKUs with customized PCB's, coolers and memory configurations. The reference card has a 1006 MHz clock frequency, the effective memory data rate (192-bit) is 6108 MHz. Being GDDR5 that doubles up bandwidth giving this product a rather nice 147 GB/sec of bandwidth to fool around with. Our card has been equipped with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory.
Here you can see the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost, the 2 GB version. Honestly aside from a few shader processors, you are looking at the GeForce GTX 660. Overall a nice yet simple looking card for what it is reality. Let's look at the card from several different viewpoints.
The card is equipped with the GK106 GPU that harbours the Kepler GPU architecture. You will spot two dual-link DVI connectors, a HDMI connector and Display Port as well.
When we flip the card around we spot a 6-pin PEG power connector (BTW I get asked about it all the time but PEG = PCI Express Graphics). With 75W leading though the PCIe slot and another 75 watt fed by the plug you'll have 150W available for potential overclocking.
Looking at the backside of the card we see a very non-complex PCB. As you can see there are no other SMT traces to be found for extra memory, abundantly indicating that this indeed is a 2GB of graphics memory. Mind you that these cards come with one SLI connector allowing you to setup a 2-way SLI system. Price performance wise that could be a very attractive alternative really.
The cooler is really nice and silent with the temperatures under gaming load quit lower then the reference coolers. The card is PCIe gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane.

Disney to allow cast members to wear beards
Written by Robert Niles
The Orlando Sentinel's Jason Garcia's setting the Disney blogpsphere on fire this morning by breaking the news via Twitter that Disney's going to allow beards on cast members.Tweet
Several years ago Disney started to undo its traditional no-facial-hair policy by allowing mustaches, prompting many to note that Walt now could work in the theme parks. (Imagineers and those in other divisions of the company haven't been held to the "Disney Look" facial-hair rules for parks employees.)
That change helped Disney to recruit many more Latino males, who'd previously not seriously considered at Disney due to its facial-hair rules.
The new change will help expand the labor market further for Disney, too. But don't expect to see Santa working the Jungle Cruise. Beard or goatee length is limited to just a quarter-inch under the new rules, quoted by Garcia.
What do you think?
Readers' Opinions
From 126.96.36.199 on January 23, 2012 at 9:01 AM
I don't see a problem with that. I'm a person that during the the year, I change up my look. Meaning i wear a goatee most of the time and then have no facial hair some other times. When doing my job, whether having facial hair or not, does not affect my job performance. Mind you when I have facial hair it is well groomed. Let people be comfortable in their own skin. You just might get a better worker out of it.
From Skipper Adam on January 23, 2012 at 9:05 AM
As long as it is regulated. Uniform facial hair can look just as good as clean shaven faces as long as guidelines are made and enforced. However, considering the population of males I work with, very few would indeed grow beards. Plus there is that awkward bad looking phase of growing the beard in.
From Tom Rigg on January 23, 2012 at 9:13 AM
I understand that at the inception of this rule in the 60's and 70's facial hair still held some negative connotations. However, now facial hair is a completely acceptable part of the professional look, many CEOs sport goatees, beards, and mustaches. I think this is a fantastic change, mainly because it means I can work at Disney without sacrificing the facial hair I have had constantly for over 6 years.
From 22.214.171.124 on January 23, 2012 at 10:03 AM
I feel like Disney originally instituted this rule because they wanted to project a clean cut all American YOUTHFUL image... as the parks grew the need for more and more cast members also grew and they couldn't be as selective with whom they hired. I feel like a majority of the cast members I see now are retirees and older people - people who certainly don't project that youthful image. Disney is simply changing with the times - I DO feel it needs to be regulated though - keep them short and clean. I have a beard and am a former cast member who considered returning to WDW when I moved back to the Orlando area - BUT I simply was not willing to let a job that pays me $8 an hour dictate how I look when I'm not on the clock.
From 126.96.36.199 on January 23, 2012 at 10:06 AM
"Several years ago Disney started to undo its traditional no-facial-hair policy by allowing mustaches" --Robert Niles
It actually wasn't that simple. While they did begin to allow cast members to HAVE mustaches. They did not allow cast members to GROW mustaches. So unless the cast member was able to have one of acceptable length and thickness magically appear on his face during the 2 days per week he's given off, he was, in effect, not really allowed to have one.
In this way, as I think you were suggesting, Disney was able to fill their need for more workers without having to pay them any more money by expanding in to a previously untapped portion of the workforce, and while still in effect controlling how most of their employees look.
Yay Disney!
From Jack Curley on January 23, 2012 at 10:10 AM
If I were to apply for a job with a new company, and they told me I could have the job, but only if I shaved; that would be discrimination. Seriously, it's not like I have gang signs on my face. It's hair, and I keep it trimmed nicely. I voted for "no restrictions on facial hair" but there should always be some restrictions about looking neat. Little kids don't want one of the guys from ZZ Top helping them onto the boats on "It's A Small World."
On second thought, let's get a guy with huge beard doing that. Then maybe kids will stop dragging their parents on it and getting that song wedged in their heads for days.
From 220.127.116.11 on January 23, 2012 at 10:23 AM
"If I were to apply for a job with a new company, and they told me I could have the job, but only if I shaved; that would be discrimination. "
Jack, When I started at Disney in 1995. The "casting" agent sent me out to the site to be fitted for my new costume. They asked my size. I told them I am 5'11", size 48 vest. They said, our vests only go up to size 46. The costuming worker said no problem, we'll just order you another one. Shortly thereafter, a manager ever so gently and discreetly, took me in to a side office to explain to me that certain on stage roles have certain expectations in terms of size, and that he could / would not order me a size 48 vest, and that he was sorry but I couldn't work in that role in a size 48. He said he was terribly sorry, but since I was so close, he would hold the rec open for me if I wanted to try to get out and get a little exercise and see if I could fit in to the size 46, or they also had back stage roles he could put me in.
From Dominick D on January 23, 2012 at 10:41 AM
Nothing new, just look at Jack Sparrow.
From Skipper Adam on January 23, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Back when the "Cast Member" idea was coined, people were hired to fill a functional role in a play, essentially. Certain roles were certain genders and sizes. For example, only attractive smaller women were allowed in Guest Relations because it was harder to get mad at them then men. Only men (and some with beards and peircings) were allowed to work on the Jungle Cruise. Only men were allows at Tower of Terror. While in most places of work this would be horrible discrimination, but the fact is it was a play in the beginning. Times have changed, and Castmembers play less of a character role and more of a plain and simple worker. I guess I find it understandable more than offensive.
From Brandon Mendoza on January 23, 2012 at 11:36 AM
As long as it's groomed, I'm all for it. And I think it fits perfectly fine in Frontierland as well as on the Canoes!
And even New Orleans Square could have some guys with trimmed facial hair that matches the area. Or even on Main Street... Bully times!
From Robert Niles on January 23, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Actually, the goatees will become a required part of Disney Look for the cast members working at the new 'Evil' Dueling Dumbo.
From Tyler Stover on January 23, 2012 at 1:32 PM
And so the transformation from "Cast Members" to theme park employees is complete.

From Albino Pygmy on January 23, 2012 at 5:00 PM
Heck yeah, I would have loved to be rockin' a goat while navigating the rivers of adventure! Actually, I think a little scruff adds more to the theme of explorers who don't happen to have a razor and shaving cream handy out in the middle of the jungle, just sayin'.

Go to any carnival or traveling show all the guys have facial hair does it bug me no do I think it should be banned no I dont see anythign wrong with it
From 184.108.40.206 on January 23, 2012 at 9:42 PM
The way I loook at it, seeing an employee with a goatee isnt going to ruin my day, and seeing that no one has one isnt going to enhance my experience. Let them do it.
From Mike Seary on January 24, 2012 at 4:21 AM
I don't see why it's a problem, allowing for a caveat requiring some set standard of grooming and hygiene. Let Disney set the length/state of the facial hair (no longer than x, stache doesn't hang over lip, no eclectic styles) and I don't see how it would negatively affect the experience at all. Plenty of real-world professionals sport neatly-groomed facial hair... no big deal.
From Tyler Stover on January 24, 2012 at 9:38 AM
"Go to any carnival or traveling show all the guys have facial hair"
I'm not sure if that was completely serious or sarcastic (tone is hard to convey over the internet) but either way it exactly proves my point. Walt built Disneyland as it is because he didn't want it to be like any carnival or traveling show. Holding cast members to a higher standard than your typical theme park employee was part of that.
From Anon Mouse on January 24, 2012 at 11:00 AM
I would barely notice since so many guests have terrible facial hair and tattoos galore. The Disneyland look may not matter as much these days.
From Ray Schroeder on January 24, 2012 at 11:46 AM
Does this apply to both men and women? ;)
From 220.127.116.11 on January 24, 2012 at 5:13 PM
I think that when looking at the results you have to remember that although no facial hair is "winning", the votes or facial hair are split between people with differing opinions on how much facial hair should be allowed (or what types). So since the no facial hair is not more than 50% you might say that most people on this site think some sort of facial hair would not be a big deal; we just may have various ideas about how much facial hair would be preferred, etc.
Having said that..... I think a nicely trimmed beard is actually nice looking on some guys.
From 18.104.22.168 on January 24, 2012 at 5:15 PM
I also think a nicely trimmed beard looks better than just a mustache.... unless you are trying to portray Yosamitte Sam.... in which case.... handlebar mustache does the job.... lol.
From Anthony Murphy on January 24, 2012 at 9:53 PM
I am still a tradionalist- No beards!
Still, who would want one in that HOT weather?

Infertility Gene in GMO Corn
'Genetically modified foods are getting a lot of press these days, especially in California where Proposition 37, the labeling of GMO foods, will be on the November 6th Election Day ballot. Why is the GMO industry so upset about having GM foods labeled? Could it be if consumers knew what GMOs are capable of doing not only to the environment but also to the human body, they would not purchase them, as happened in many countries, especially the European Union?
Would you believe that the United States is the only industrialized country in the world that does not permit the labeling of GMOs for either fresh or processed foods? However, 14 states have legislation introduced regarding GMO labeling that seems to be going nowhere fast. In 2005 Alaska passed a biotech seafood labeling law.
Alaskan Governor Frank Murkowski recently signed into law Senate Bill 25 which is the United States' first law for labeling genetically engineered food. [4]
Interestingly, Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Consumers Union says, "If companies say genetic engineering is fine, then OK let's label it and let the consumers make their own decisions." So what are the biotechs afraid of?
Scientific facts? Being caught with fudged science, especially since the recent 2-year rat study, performed by Professor Giles-Eric Seralini, PhD, at the independent research facility CRIIGEN in France, was published in Food and Chemical Technology. Photographs of tumor-laden rats from that CRIIGEN study can be viewed at http://sustainablepulse.com/2012/09/19/criigen-study-links-gm-maize-roundup-premature-death-cancer/.'

Letters of Stephen R. Wilcox – Company F
Stephen R. Wilcox was a resident of Norwalk, Connecticut. He was a 22 year old carpenter, married to the former Julia Clark, and the father of an infant son. They would be parents of a daughter (born in May 1864 – presumably Stephen Wilcox received a furlough after Gettysburg!). He was mustered in as a corporal in Company F but was reduced to the ranks in November 1862. In the first letter he writes about the circumstances of his wounding on July 2, 1863 (not listed on his service record and his duties in the General Hospital at Gettysburg after the battle. Wilcox was mustered out with the regiment in July 1865, returning to Norwalk. He worked as a carpenter, adding on to his family, before his death on July 2, 1911 (48 years to the day from his wounding at Gettysburg).
These letters, all written to his brother-in-law Walter Clark, were provided and transcribed by Lane Cheney.
General Hospital, Gettysburgh, PA, August 1, 1863
Dear Brother Walt,
I read your kind and ever welcome letter yesterday and I am glad to hear from you that you are all well. I hope that you may be fortunate enough not to get drafted. I expect that they will have some fun in Norwalk when they commence to draft which I suppose has commenced this week. I hope that Rhodes will not have to come. If he does, I would like to have him in my regiment. The 11th Corps is broken up and our division I hear will go in the 2nd Corps under command of General Howard. The 2nd division is going in the 12th Corps. Three division is to be under command of General Carl Schurtz.
It is an independent command. He is to guard the railroad from Manassas to the Rappahannock.
I have had the office of Ward Master in a ward of Rebs but there was so much work to do that I gave it up. I felt sick. I feel rather weak. I don't have any appetite and don't feel well myself but my drink-atite is as good as ever. Yesterday I went to town and got all the whiskey and gin cock-your-tails that I wanted and felt better.
I should like to be in New York with you again. I think that your young Steve Wilcox and myself would have a jolly good time.
I think I shall not stay here long. I shall get on the regiment if I don't find something else that suits me better to do.
You say that you don't know how I was wounded nor how bad. I was wounded but only slightly. I was on picket. I went out at dark the first day and at daylight the second about three o'clock. I could see the Rebs moving about over in the wheat and grass fields. We commenced to point our rifles at them and send them a message of lead. As soon as the balls began to fall thick around them they would drop down in the grass out of sight and whenever one of them showed himself we fired at him. There was one of them coming across the lot on horseback. I put my rifle to my shoulder and fired and Mr. Reb rolled off like a pumpkin. I don't know whether I killed him or not but his horse made tracks and got out of the way. Every once in a while you could see four men carry a wounded one off the field on a stretcher. Pretty soon they began to shoot right, I reckon out of the houses and everywhere they could get under cover. They shot one of the 107th Ohio boys right in back of me and then in a few minutes another was wounded close on the other side of me. I sat close by a fence like this [small sketch of fence, not provided] with no protection but one of the posts. They shot the fence all to pieces and the post that I was behind was hit four times. When they hit me I was sitting at the foot of the post loading my last round of cartridge. The Rebs had the range of me from the houses and had me in a crossfire. I was turned a little to one side. The ball went thru my [rubber] blanket and just grazed my back in two places. It struck just below my shoulder and went in and cut four holes in the back of my blouse. It cut my cartridge belt almost in two. If I had been turned a little further around it would have went right straight thru me and that would have been the last of our Steve for it would have cut my gizzard string and started the claret.
There was another Corporal hit by a ball and it went thru this thigh. He was close to me when I was hit. I left and it was not long before they hit him.
I went back where we lay before we lay on picket and the small balls rained around and passed me with a whiz.
I went in the house and got the chance to make me a cup of coffee, the first thing I had eaten in thirty-six hours. After I got the coffee down I felt better. I went into the next room and one of the boys helped me to dress my wound. I never had it dressed but twice, but my back was so lame and stiff for three or four days that I could hardly stir. I was sick before we got here and then they marched us twelve miles in the morning and never gave us but one rest and that was for about twenty minutes. We marched right thru the town and filed thru the lot and unslung some of our knap sacks and put them in a pile. Then Lieut. Col. Fowler asked who would volunteer to go out as skirmishers. Capt Allen marched his men right out and then called for Company A and K. We then went up the road and filed off into a lot and deployed as skirmishers and advanced to a stream and forded it. It was about up to our knees and then we stopped where we was for further orders. In a few minutes we got over the fence and advanced across a wheat field and got almost on the batteries of the Rebs when the Rebs made a charge on our division and our skirmishers were ordered back. We fell back a little ways and I saw the Adjutant coming towards us. He said that the Lieut. Col. was dead and showed us where his brains were spattered on this arm. He said that Capt. Moore was dead, the two best men in the regiment. We could see the Rebs coming out of the woods and they drove our men and then in a minute I saw our men charge on them but they was to much for us and we had to fall back fighting, as we fell back in good order, what little there was left of us. Some of the companies came out with four men and some of them with more.
There were a great many wounded and taken prisoners. We fought well and bravely but the 11th Corps never gets any credit for what it does. The 11th and 1st Corps done the most of the fighting and lost almost all of their men but the 11th Corps is no more and I wish I could say that by the fighting.
I am glad to hear that Frank Gilbertson is safe and well. I have a very bad headache today and do not fell very well but I think I shall feel better in a day or two.
I got a letter from Rhodes and Mary. She says that they had some fun there.
I should like to be there to see the fun.
Well, Walt, I think I have scribbled enough to keep you busy reading for some time. Write soon as you hear from me again, and believe me ever yours.
Brother S.R. Wilcox
[From the margins of the letter]
From your humble servant, Steve Wilcox
Folly Island, SC, October 26, 1863
2nd Brigade Gordon's Division
Dear Brother Walt,
I haven't heard from home yet but are expecting to hear soon. I am as well as usual. We buried Srgt. Ed Smith today he had been sick for a long time with the shits and a kind of a fever. Our regt. is about as healthy, in fact healthier that any in the brigade. We have lost but two and the other regt. are burying men every day. They have been shelling a place called Seceshville today.
I think there will be a skirmish there by tomorrow morning. I am now a private, but the Capt. says he will put me back in my old place again as soon as there is a chance and give me the same chance for promotion that I had before. Do not say anything about it. I think it will come out all right yet. Bob sends his kind regard to you and all the folks. He is well and pretty busy. He is [fort] master & [mounted] orderly. Walt give my kind regard to John & Billy and all enquiring friends.
With much love, I remain ever yours.
Bro Steve
Good Night Walt
[Same piece of paper, seemingly different note]
Walt, our regt. numbers about 200 men. There is but 6 companies. They talk of putting the men back into ten companies Oct. 29. They are popping away at Seceshville. If they can drive them out we will be nearer to Charleston. I hope that we whip them out soon. It is warm and pleasant. I will bid you good morning and go and mail this letter.
Write soon and believe me ever yours,
Jackson Ville, Florida, March 31st, 1864
Dear Brother Walt,
I take this opportunity of answering your short note. I am in good health and have all that I can do. I am on duty continually either on camp or headquarters guard or fatigue and picket. I suppose I shall have to go on picket tomorrow. We are drilling principally on skirmishing. It is a very pretty drill. We have to drill one hour before breakfast and two hours in the forenoon and two hours in the afternoon.
Walt I should like to be with you this afternoon where I could get some lager. It is a dry place here. I have not seen a drop of whiskey since I left Folly Island. They have a little [pop] beer to sell down town and that is all. How is Johnny & Billy? Are they too busy to write to a fellow or don't they want to write to such a country-man as my humble self. I should like to hear from them once in a while. Walt, do you ever go to Norwalk? You ought to go over once in a while to see the girls. They are very fine girls and would make a smart man a wife. They are pretty well educated and good company. You must go up and see Jule [Jule is Stephen's wife, Walter's sister] when you can and look after her. She is a dear good sister to you and thinks a good deal of you, and I entrust her in your's and Pop's care until I return which I hope will be before long. I have but [17] months more to stay and I hope it will [play] off quickly and pleasantly without anything happening to me. I have made my mind to come back again and shall try to weather it through. I hope to live a long and good life of [wonderfulness]. Walt you know how things are at home. I hope every thing will [play] off well, and I should like to be there if I could but I think it will be impossible. I know that you will do all that you can for her and pop (his father-in-law, who lived with them until his death) too. He is a good father. I don't know what Jule would do without him. I think a great deal of the old gentleman and will always give him a home as long as he will be content to stay with me.
Walt I would like some paper & envelopes and a pair of suspenders, if you will oblige me by sending them, I will try and pay you if in no other way but by sending for some more when I get out. I am in hopes that I will be payed off before long so that I can send Jule some. I don't know how I am going to get along if they don't raise the soldiers pay.

The In's and Out's of Life with In-laws
- Thursday, October 09, 2003
It's important to be sensitive to your spouse's feelings concerning your parents. If he or she feels crowded or disrespected, it's important you take these feelings seriously and act to improve the situation. These principles should also be taken into consideration by parents and should influence the way they treat their child's spouse.
Independent Identity
You'll know you're in a situation where change should occur when you and your spouse don't feel you have your own identity. One of the purposes of marriage is for a couple to establish an identity that is independent of their parents. If this doesn't happen, a healthy marriage becomes much more of a challenge.
Many marriage experts say couples should not live in the same town as either of their parents. The reasoning is that with constant availability of their parents, the couple doesn't learn to rely on each other. It's difficult to form an identity together unless each of you learns to rely on the other instead of your parents. It is not my opinion that every couple should live in a separate town from their in-laws, but for some, that situation might be best. It might be best for you if your in-laws are too involved in certain aspects of your relationship – especially if they are too involved in conflicts between you and your spouse.
Part of what it means to have your own identity as a couple is that conflicts are resolved without the involvement of in-laws. The scenario below shows ways a couple could fall into the trap of "in-law dependence" and the consequences they might face if independence is not a priority.
After six months of marriage, Tonya and Matt had their first big fight. What was the subject? It doesn't matter.
While in tears, Tonya called her mother and told her about the entire ordeal. Her mother listened and became angrier by the minute.
"I'm coming over there," her mother said.
When she arrived at the couple's home, she immediately began telling Matt why Tonya was correct and scolded him for disagreeing. According to her, Matt owed Tonya an apology.
From that point on, Matt had difficulty trusting his mother-in-law. He felt she plotted against him and wanted to control him. He also felt betrayed by his wife. He felt that she, rather than being on a team with him, called for backup to defeat him.
If you and your spouse are arguing about any subject, neither has the right to involve a parent in the disagreement. If your spouse brings a parent in on an argument, you're probably going to feel just as Matt did. You'd feel it's "them against you." This violates the oneness attitude that should exist in your marriage relationship.
Mutual Respect
In all things, respect your mother and father-in-law. Remember, they are the parents of someone very special – your spouse. If you are a parent of a married child, your son-in-law or daughter-in-law is very special because he or she is your child's life partner.
It is best for each family to realize the independence of the other. Your spouse must know your parents will not interfere with the family you are building. Your parents must realize you and your spouse need to build a life and relationship separate from them. This requires patience and, at times, may be painful.
It's important to honor and respect your in-laws, but above that, protect your marriage. This principle will pay great dividends in the future.

I have been experimenting with walking/jogging (all right, experimenting is probably a strong word because I have only done it twice). I managed to start off with a mile and a half straight, walked/jogged around the HS track, and mostly walked home with about a half mile of jogging for a total of at least 3 miles jogging. Needless to say, my body wasn't used to it and I was tired.
I had forgotten that this was the night that I was going to see a HS summer camp theatre production. If we had not already bought tickets and that a friend of mine was conducting, I probably would have begged off. I was tired and sore!
So,so glad I went. Although I didn't know anyone on stage, some of "my kids" were playing in the orchestra and I was really surprised to find that a former student who graduated 5-6 years and played the lead in one of our productions also played in the pit, so it was wonderful to reconnect with him. And then there was the added bonus of sharing that experience with a dear friend who also loves musical theater.
Sure, I am tired today. Did I tell you that I got home close to midnight? Not usually in my waking hours category, but last night added "footprints in my heart." What a wonderful phrase! The support here also leaves those footprints. Who leaves the footprints in YOUR heat? Thank them today for being such an important part of your life!
And with that being said, I am going out for a walk this morning!
So many people have said that this is a journey, not a destination, but I have never thought of this in terms of an end product of success. I need to go back and check my goals. Are they goals that have to do with the destination or goals that have to do with the journey? My major goals should not be about the destination, I believe, because that implies to me that when you reach that goal, you are done. Instead, my goals should be about some things that I will keep on doing with end point in sight. It certainly is helpful to achieve along the way with motivators, however. Hmmm...time to doublecheck and maybe reword my goals or separate my goals from my motivators along the way!
Have a healthy and successful journey!
I am truly blessed! I have my family and friends who are wonderful. It has been my SFs lately who have offered advice, questioned me, supported and encouraged me. It truly helps when people have gone or are going through the same thing you are. I am beginning to realize that this whole calorie thing may stall me for a quite a while until I figure it out (feel free to hit me on the head with that fact over and over again!). If I didn't have all of you here, I probably would have given up since I haven't seen the fastest scale results. You are trying to teach me patience. Just warning you, I, and most other people in my life, have tried to teach me patience, but I have been a slow learner for 58 years. Your outpourings of concern encouragement, etc. have been truly heartwarming. s!!!
I am not sure I am "making" my day ridiculously amazing, but really just noticing things that make the day amazing! Examples of this just yesterday: husband texting me for no reason at all , sitting at my desk yesterday getting ready for summer school and realizing that I am doing exactly what I was meant to do, , having a professional conversation with a woman who used to be my son's girlfriend in HS and being able to help her with teaching resources, having saved enough calories (even fat!) to have a piece of pizza, talking with a friend for the first time since school let out, getting tickets for a musical show, sitting down after coming home and listening to the breeze and my wind chimes, over 10,000 steps again yesterday, getting into the car and on the radio is "Lean on Me," and my husband taking the time to continue to watch 2 episodes of MASH every night with me since I am trying to work through all 11 seasons. There are lots more that I can't think of right now, but it is "ridiculously amazing" how many of these moments are in your day! I am truly grateful!

Good morning,
I never got a workout in yesterday. I will work out today, not sure what yet. I also have to take the dogs for a walk later.
Have a great Monday and workout! BBL!
never mind.... I am telling you, I am brain dead these days.
Good Morning!
Happy Belated Mother's Day!!!!!
I was MIA yesterday....to much on the go. We had a good time on Sat night and didn't get home until 3 (again!) I wasn't really drinking though so I felt great yesterday morning. DS slept at my inlaws house so we got to sleep in until 11. We then went to my inlaws house for lunch and then went shopping for my MIL's gift I know....a bit late While we were shopping I picked out a really nice painting I thought would go nice in the house. When I wasn't looking DH bought it for me Now it just needs to be hung! After that we came home and everyone came here for dinner. We had lobsters and steak Anyway....it was a good day!
I got up early enough to get a good workout in. Yesterday was a rest day b/c of sat's long run which btw....was just o.k. I didn't do the 32 kms I was suppose to do. I just didn't have it in me. I only did 29 kms (only!) I might tack the last 3 kms on to next weeks run.
Im hoping my boss is gone today. He is in charge of two areas now and he as been trying to visit the other one for a while but the weather wasn't very nice and he didn't want to travel when the roads were wet. Soooooo....I am really,really hoping that he decided to somewhere today cause I don't really care to see him.
Belinda** Have a good workout!
Iris** Glad to see you were in a smashing mood yesterday! LOL Great way to start us off Good job getting your workout in. Hopefully the cold won`t hang on for to long!
Helene and Trish** Hope you enjoyed the little ones yesterday!
Deb** I always thought that 10 mins workouts were a waste of time.....so I never bothered with even buying them. I guess if its a really hard 10 mins then its o.k! LOL My run was o.k...I have had better runs. I am hoping I will feel better then that in 3 weeks time!
Ameila** I was thinking the same thing lately. I need to either get new dvds and step outside of cather or I need to get some of the ones I loaned out back. My runnins partner as the GS ones and I really would like to have them back now. Everytime I want to do weights I wish they were here.
Belinda** So it took a while to download those workouts. I haven`t tried it before. Im guessing its cheaper then buying the dvds and having them shipped.
Hope I didn`t miss anyone. I will bbl!
Good Morning Ladies.
And today isn't much better. It figures I have a doctor's appt. today too, I'm supposed to be having my tetanus shot (which I don't think they'll give me while I'm sick), and my annual gyn. Only I would schedule the worst 15 min. of the year and the worst shot of the decade on the same day. I'm gonna make myself do some kind of cardio, even if it's basic step! Just to say I did something!
Belinda- Have a great workout today! What thread did you mean to start? Ours or the other one? I'm confused when you do that....lol
Lori- LOL @ smashing mood. Glad I could start us off on a positive note yesterday. That sounds like one yummy dinner you had! I love lobster. Glad you could get some rest while DS was at your inlaws.
Amelia- I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been in a pissy mood! Hope you had a great workout yesterday!! What did you do for mother's day?
Deb- So how was SNL??? I missed it! I wanted to see it with Betty White. Yeah one of the reasons I shy away from drinking now is the way it makes me feel the next morning , and also the way it makes me "feeel" the next morning. I watched an infomercial BBL yesterday...lol I didn't realize Bum Bum is pronounced like Boom Boom.
As it turns out my brother went down to my parents and made that fettucini alfredo from scratch for my mother. She had a great Mother's day, I could tell when I talked to her on the phone. I'm happy about that.
Ok I'm gonna try and squeek out something resembling a workout. BBL
Hey Girls!
Wishful thinking I guess. Im not alone today but I am for the time being. Just put a pot of coffee on and waiting for it to brew. Im also famished but I don't know what to eat. I had a all bran bar on the way to work so I am leaning towards a banana....or maybe a bowl of oatmeal.
Todays workout was 4DS chest and back, PH abs and a 55 min run outside. I didn't intend to go that long and I was kinda late getting home. I wanted to be home around 8:30 and I was gone until 8:45.
Iris** Happy to hear your mom had a great day yesterday. Your mother sounded happier then mine Im assuming. I can tell when my mom isn't impressed with me and apparently calling her at 1:30 in the afternoon wasn't good enough. She asked me why I was calling so late? When I got off of the phone my inlaws couldn't believe that she said that to me. My MIL said that if it was her mother she would have hung up on her and my FIL told me to call her at 4:30 in the morning next year. Seriously? Who says that? I said "what took me so long? The day isn't half over" She goes to church at 11 and when I rolled over and looked at the time I knew I was gonna be in the dog house. For some reason she likes for us to call before she goes to church! I don't get her half of the time...actually, I don't get her 3/4 of the time. Hope you start feeling better~!
Alright...I will bbl!
GUYS!!!!!! IM SUPER DUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! I just sigend up for the personal trainers course that I have been talking about for MONTHS! I have been thinking about it ever since Fri night and DH and I were going to read over the online course that I found but we didn't get around to it. I was reading it last night myself and after coming to work today and finding out the new owners aren't reviewing our salaries until they have been here 6 m....thats all I needed!
I wasn't sure how I would feel about it after I signed up but I am really excited about it!!!
BB in a bit!
Hallo girls,
I am done with the "Viper" from the Terminator DVD That is one tough workout. I did the Gauntlet and Imax Xtreme before, but never the Viper! I burned 646 cal.
I forgot to tell you girls, I am flying to the states on Wednesday. I will start us off tomorrow, not sure if I will have time on Wednesday. We are leaving very early.
Lori, that is fantastic! I am so excited with you
I will be back later. Gotta run.
Hey girls, its been a busy morning for me. DH and I went grocery shopping then i came home and did a workout. Decided on Kelly Coffey Meyer's Plyometrics...it kicked my bootie it was fun though.
I had an awesome workout yesterday too, did 4ds KB + Legs.
Belinda-Nice job on your workout today, awesome calorie burn! Im looking forward to seeing you at the end of the month
Lori-Fantastic news on the online course! How long is the course? Im so excited for you!!!! Yay on the new painting too!!!
Iris-Ugh, the dreaded 'paper gown' appointment Im glad mine is over with for the year. How was basic step? My Mother's Day was great, my babies made little pictures and clay models(one of an angel,one a flower pot) for me. DH and I got both our mothers perfume so there happy with that,LOL.
Hello to everyone that follows! Have a great day girls
Good Afternoon Ladies.
Well thank god that appointment is over for the year! It's already uncomfortable enough, and I have a new doctor plus being sick on top of it. *sigh*. She asked me if I was on birth control, I said no...she says are you trying to get pregnant? I said NO. Then she got on a tangent about prenatal vitamins. I learned more about folic acid in those 3 minutes than most expecting mothers probably know. *sigh* Then she asked me if my "partner" has changed in the past 3 months. I had to stop myself from saying " I've tried !!".
Amelia- Great workouts!! How was it doing Plyo after doing 4DS Legs yesterday? Did it make your legs feel better or worse?
Lori- Great news on taking the course!! What cert is it? I'm sorry your mom gave you such a hard time!! I would call at 4:30 a.m. next year...LOL
Belinda- So what are you coming into town for this week? Just a visit? And thanks for letting me know you wont' be starting us off...it'll save me from having a meltdown...lol
So I ended up trying to do All Step from CTX (Helene has loaned me this valuable dvd ) I made it partway through, was getting a bit dizzy, having a harder than normal time breathing. Then did "tough core" from Core Max (another loaner from Helene) and got through that for the most part. Being sick is just plain annoying. BBL

Maru (Cary)
Just ate at a new sushi restaurant in Cary (corner of Cary Pkwy and Tryon Rd) and the food was amazing!!! Everything that came out was picture perfect and delicious! We ordered Korean BBQ and Korean shortribs, several sushi rolls (Supa roll is really good), salmon teriyaki, carpaccio trio, salmon tartare and tune tartare. What stood out to me with the sushi rolls is that they don't overload them with rice. I hate that! We drove all the way from Durham to check it out and we will definitely be back!
Maru is close to our neighborhood and we decided to go tonight for the first time. What a delight! We ordered Bulgogi, Bi-Bim-Bob, & Tequila sushi roll. The presentation was beautiful and the food was fabulous. The owner and his wife were so warm and welcoming and we will most certainly go back often.
We tried Maru for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I, too, was impressed. Sushi was carefully made, fish was fresh and well cut, and there was wasabi on the sushi in the classic Japanese fashion. Salad that came with sushi lunch was much better than usual. Service was attentive. We will be back soon.
I ate at Maru twice last week-lunch and dinner. When I went for lunch, the staff explained what they're trying to do there--a mix of Korean and Japanese, but heaviest on the Japanese side. The Bi-Bim-Bob I had for lunch was quite good. I took a big crowd there a few nights later for dinner. All were pleased with their dishes. My shashimi platter was as good as I've had in this area--the fish very fresh, the presentation excellent, and the washabi super hot like I like it. Others ordered a variety of rolls which were well-presented. I'm not a big roll guy, but the ones I had were quite good and the people who ordered them really raved about the quality and inventiveness of the offering. They've done a good job with the decor making this a nice place to spend some time. Give Maru a try!!!
Just had lunch at Maru today with the family. We were very impressed! Bento boxes are available for lunch with a choice of Galbi, Bulgolgi, Teriyaki, Spicy Pork and maybe something else. The Bento boxes were very well done, with well cooked-flavorful meat, a small serving of tempura (shrimp and veggie), rice, California roll, and a salad which was really a standout! They feature a house-brewed soy sauce which tasted pretty much like soy sauce to me, but was a nice touch. They are really doing some really nice food here and I was a bit worried to see that we were the only people there for lunch when we left at noon. Granted it was a Monday, but hoping this place can find its niche.
The manager was telling me that they will be changing the menu for the fall. The dinner menu will include more entrees (previously more of an emphasis on small plates).
We were there with our 3 kids 5 and under and although a bit more sleek than your usual "family restaurant," the staff was certainly welcoming of kids. Our kids also loved the food.
Ate dinner at Maru last night and was pleasantly surprised by the food since their theme sounded like kind of a mashup. We had 3 Asian "tapas" - delicious seafood pancake, shrimp with asparagus and eel sauce, and beef wrapped in lettuce - all were light and tasty and, except for the shrimp dish which was small, worth the $7 tariff. We also had the special sushi roll of the day which was crab salad inside rice, with salmon overlay - it looked beautiful and tasted just as fresh and good. Also, I had my favorite unfiltered sake although their flight of flavored sakes sounded interesting. Will definitely be back. Mentioned to staff that their website really "sucks" since it doesn't include the menu or prices (you can get them on their facebook page). If they improve the site, I think they'll improve their business as well. Hope they take this advice since I'm sure I'm not the first to think this, or say it.

Police and firemen across the Dallas Fort Worth area worked hundreds of accidents caused by ice covered roads Christmas night.
Matt Zavadsky, the spokesman for Medstar Ambulance in Fort Worth, says Medstar responded to 48 accidents between 5pm and 7:30pm. "Due to dangerous road conditions in Fort Worth and surrounding areas, MedStar has temporarily suspended lights-and-sirens responses out of concern for crew and public safety," according to Zavadsky.
The ice and cold canceled eight percent of flights at DFW Airport according to spokesman David Magana. "DFW is advising all passengers to check on their flight status prior to coming to the Airport, whether via the Flight Information page at www.dfwairport.com or other means." Magana said.
The icy roads have caused Dallas County offices to delay opening until 10am Wednesday. "The delayed opening will make for a safer commute for our employees and take needed pressure of the potentially icy roads during the morning rush hours. Regardless of when or where you travel tonight and tomorrow, please give yourself extra time and use extra caution. I hope everyone had a blessed and special Holidays. Safe travels and a Happy New Year!," said Judge Clay Jenkins.
Meanwhile Denton County offices will be closed Wednesday according to Jaime Moore, Denton County Emergency Services spokesman. Moore said, "County Road and Bridge sand trucks are working to maintain the roadways within the county, however, county building parking lots are a low priority and there are safety concerns about their use Wednesday."

The absence of light pollution and the extreme darkness of the night sky have astronomers proclaiming Cherry Springs to be the best choice in the northeastern United States for amateur stargazing. Cherry Springs State Park offers a large observation field set atop a mountain with a 360-degree view of the sky. Under ideal conditions over 6000 stars can be seen. The Milky Way is seen with uncommon detail and clarity. Stars can be seen all the way to the horizon giving the awesome impression that the sky is literally a carpet of stars. The fields also affords astronomers a ciew of near space objects such as satellites, iridium flares, as well as the planets and moons within our own solar system. Distant galaxies, colorful nebulae, comets, and other deep space objects are often observed and photographed with amazing clarity at Cherry Springs. It has also been the site for observing rarely occurring phenomena such as meteor showers, and the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
It is estimated that less than 10 percent of Americans are able to view the night sky in its natural state unimpaired by light pollution. In a typical city only 200-300 stars would be visible on a clear night. In April of 2000, DCNR recognized the importance of the dark night sky as a viable resource and designated Cherry Springs as the first Dark Sky Park.

Comments about Medline Gel-foam Pressure Reduction Wheelchair Cushion, 18" L x 3" W x 18" D:
I use this cushion in a wheelchair. It is very comfortable and has the width and length I needed to cover the entire seat of the chair. It also gives a bit of height as it is a deep cushion, which is good for me. The one thing I didn't expect is the rushing-air noise it makes when sitting or rising. But that is minor. It is a good product with a zippered cover.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
