10stairs - online trick guide
10stairs.com will be a new INSTRUCTIONAL website for skateboarders. The name "10 stairs" was chosen for it's creativity and relevent meaning to the sport. In skateboarding, anybody that can jump off 10 stairs would be considered a very skilled skater with bragging rights. The name "10stairs" is not just unique and memorable but speaks to the fact that our website will help all skateboarders become good enough to jump 10 stairs (or do whatever other tricks that might want to learn).
10stairs was started from a passion of skateboarding as well as a passion for helping others. We hope to build a COMMUNITY where skaters can help one another with tips for performing their favorite tricks.
10stairs is looking to become the #1 online instructional site for skateboarders and may soon branch out to clothing, media, and other forms. The brand will become one of the latest new brands to be introduced to the world of skateboarding and hopes to attain the loyalty of skateboarders worldwide just as other skateboarding brands have done. (ie: DC, Independent, DVS, Birdhouse, Zero, Element, Etnies, etc)
The logo will be first... then comes the website. Stay tuned for more info.
Male 12-25 years old (skateboarder, extreme sports group).
These are the EXTREMELY PRIDEFUL rebel anti-conformity kids that listen to alternative, rock, or underground hip hop music. They're very self-conscious about their public image and the way they dress. Needless to say, they are VERY selective but loyal to the brands they represent.
- the logo has to be REAL, LEGIT, GRASSROOTS, UNDERGROUND and accepted by kids who are constantly hiding from the mainstream brands and not trying to appear like a "sellout" or something that is too commercialized.
Remember this target audience identifies themselves as being:
- bright/hot colors .... orange, yellow, white, red, blue, green, black? (2-3 colors MAX)
- Hip, Creative, Edgy, Fresh, but also Professional
- image reference easily identifiable as skateboarding-related (do NOT use high-detail graphic of skater)
- CLEVER/UNIQUE designs
- maybe image reference to brand "10stairs"... such as image/silhouette/outline of stairs?
- please FOLLOW current logo-industry standards (David Airey, SmashingMagazine, SitePoint, etc)
- meaningful choice of FONT, focus on the brandname..
- we'll most likely have a slogan/tagline like "Steps to Your Favorite Skateboarding Tricks"
or shorter "Online Trick Guide"
(not necessary if it ruins your design concept)
PLEASE KEEP LOGO SIMPLE. Not necessary to have exactly 10 steps in every image. Not required to have image of a skater because it's often too much detail.
- For all concepts seriously under consideration, we will provide input and feedback for revisions as appropriate.
Submit each concept in color & 2-up:
1st version final color
2nd version against pure white
3rd version reversed against a pure black background
(winning design must display well in multiple applications (print, online, etc.)
FORMAT: Winning design must be in Adobe .ai vector format file. All artwork must be original (no stock art elements) and full copyright ownership must be conveyed to 10stairs.
If you need any further clarification, we are happy to address questions. Thank you in advance for your time and interest in this project. We are excited to see your designs!

Game Of Thrones star Alfie Allen has reportedly reunited with his ex-fiancee, British actress Jaime Winstone.
The 26-year-old actor, the brother of singer Lily Rose Cooper, got engaged to Ray Winstone's daughter in 2008, but they split in 2010.
He was then linked to aspiring model Iona Elizabeth while Winstone went on to date photographer Tom Beard before calling it off last year (12).
Allen has now rekindled his romance with Winstone, and a source tells Britain's Sunday Telegraph the couple hopes to make the romance last.
The insider tells the publication, "Everyone thinks it will be for keeps this time."

AJAX COACH FRANK de Boer has picked out Georgios Samaras as Celtic's main threat ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash.
The sides meet as the bottom two in Group H, both facing the unenviable task of trying to force their way into a top two currently comprising Barcelona and AC Milan.
And former Rangers player De Boer knows his defence will need to be on form to cope with Greek striker Samaras.
"Samaras is one of their key players with his strength and height," he said.
"If Celtic can't build the play from the back, the first option will be to go to Samaras, then fight for the second ball. He's so strong, it's impossible to beat him to the first header.
"Of course, we would prefer to win. If we want the potential to finish in second then the best thing is to win. That might also put us in a good position for third place.
"To lose is the worst option but a draw could maybe be enough."
De Boer's comments come despite Samaras' relatively poor goalscoring form this season. The 28-year-old is yet to score in the UEFA Champions League and has only netted three times in the Scottish Premiership – all in one match at Kilmarnock in September.

Redlands Tea Party Patriots board member John Berry on Wednesday called for a recount in the 31st Congressional District primary race on behalf of Republican Lesli Gooch, who finished 209 votes behind Democrat Pete Aguilar, according to the certified election count.
Aguilar or Gooch will oppose Republican Paul Chabot House seat in the November general election. Chabot finished more than 5,000 votes ahead of all other candidates.
The district covers an area from Upland in the west to Redlands in the east.
Berry said he distrusted the county registrar of voters after a previous interaction, was a Gooch supporter and thought Aguilar's policies would be damaging.
"Basically, I would be doing all of America a favor if I knocked Pete Aguilar out of the race for Congress," Berry said.
The Gooch campaign will pay for the recount at the beginning of each day of counting, said her campaign manager, Jeff Stinson.
"We have been in consultation with campaign attorneys and polling data experts over the past several days," Stinson said in an email. "They feel a recount is warranted and have identified the precincts that will be recounted, and this afternoon we formally requested a recount pursuant to California State Law for certain precincts in the 31st Congressional District."
County Registrar Michael Scarpello said that while the hand recount that was requested might change the margin by a few votes, he's confident about the certified result.
"We did a 1 percent manual audit, as required by law, and we found no anomalies," Scarpello said. "We did a 100 percent audit of our machine counts; we found no anomalies. And we don't expect to find any anomalies in this recount."
Scarpello said he was waiting for clarification of which precincts Berry and Gooch want recounted first, then would give an estimate of what the first day would cost. The time and total cost for a recount will become more clear after the first day, Scarpello said.
The law requires that the recount begin within seven days, but it will likely begin within a few days, he said.
Aguilar, the mayor of Redlands, said he didn't expect the recount to change his campaign's preparation for November.
"I'm disappointed that Lesli Gooch and the Republican Party would challenge the results of this certified election," he said. "I was declared as a winner in the election and I expect that the final result will confirm the same thing."

On November 4, China's Ministry of Industry and Information (MII) assigned TDD-LTE licenses to all three cellular operators: China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom. The move is good for China, Apple, and a handful of other handset and chip makers.
The licenses are a step toward China's long-term effort to unify nationwide cellular operations. Until now, each of the three operators employed different air interface technologies.
China Mobile, with the largest network, has a GSM/GPRS 2G heritage, with the more recent addition of 3G TD-SCDMA technology. China Unicom also has a GSM/GPRS heritage, but with WCDMA as their 3G upgrade path. China Telecom, though, seemed to be an outsider, as the only carrier employing CDMA technology, but more recently also employing TD-SCDMA.
It should be noted that TD-SCDMA technology is said to have been developed in China as a way around licensing Qualcomm's CDMA technology required for 3G WCDMA. Its market was slow to take off, but shipments this year will grow almost 100% because of the earlier MII mandate for its implementation. However, I project that future TD-SCDMA investments will decline because of LTE.
The new license assignments were not a surprise, since all three operators have been trialing LTE networks in several China cities for many months. China Mobile has adopted TD-LTE (the China-developed version of TDD LTE), while China Unicom and China Telecom have adopted FDD LTE as their main 4G standard and TD-LTE as an auxiliary to conform with the China government's policy of promoting TD-LTE. Note that the three operators have different frequency band assignments, so they can overlap geographically.
The first three TD-LTE modem chip suppliers qualified by China Mobile were HiSilicon, Qualcomm, and Marvell soon to be followed by Spreadtrum and Nvidia. Last week, Marvell announced that its PXA1802 modem platform will be in Yulong Coolpad's 8736 LTE/TD-SCDMA smartphone that has been certified by China Mobile. According to two sources, in the first quarter of 2013 Coolpad displaced Apple and Huawei to become the third largest cellphone supplier in China, following Samsung and Lenovo.
China Mobile has already extensively upgraded its network in anticipation of the TDD license and China Telecom plans to begin LTE service before April.
The biggest cellphone beneficiary of the LTE rollout will be Apple. The two smaller networks have been selling Apple handsets for some time, but not giant China Mobile with its 760 million subscribers. That's because there have been no iPhones capable of TD-SCDMA.
LTE iPhones will be readily available when China Mobile turns up its new service early in 2014. According to Taiwan-based suppliers, China Mobile is likely to procure 40 million TD-LTE smartphones and 10 million TD-LTE data terminal devices next year. Of course, iPhones will also be in that smartphone count.
China is the world's largest market for cellphones with 23% of all units compared to 11% for North America. All in all, rollout of LTE networks in China will move at a rapid pace in 2014, contributing to the growth and continuing excitement of the cellular chip market.

TEHRAN, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- A non-profit company in Iran said it plans to send U.S. President Barack Obama miniature toy drones as a gift.
The company, Aaye Art Group, said it is honoring Obama's request that Iran return a U.S. unmanned aircraft that crashed in the Islamic republic last year, only the aircraft will be a miniature, CNN reported.
"We plan to send a full squadron of 12 to the White House for President Obama as a present," said Reza Kioumarsi, spokesman for the Tehran-based non-profit, non-governmental novelty manufacturer.
The company is trying to determine Obama's favorite color before sending the mini-drones, measuring about 1/80th the size of the real thing, Kioumarsi said.
In December, Obama said the United States asked Iran to return the highly classified RQ-170 Sentinel drone, saying, "We'll see how the Iranians respond."
Iran has said its armed forces downed the drone near Kashmar, about 140 miles from the country's border with Afghanistan in December. That month, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggested in a speech that Iran wouldn't return the aircraft.

DU will emphasize play away from puck this season
Goaltending, coach George Gwozdecky acknowledged during yesterday's media day, is the question mark of this year's University of Denver hockey team. But the 17th-year DU coach also emphasized the need for improvement in his team's play away from the puck.
"There were times last year where (former goalie) Marc Cheverie really made us look a lot better than we were," Gwozdecky said. "I think at times last year, not that it was part of our philosophy or our system, I think we got very lax and careless at times, perhaps saving our energy for the fun part of the game — the offensive part of the game — and not really doing as good a job defensively.

Research and general acceptance
Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. The lactose intolerance diet is a diet designed to treat the symptoms that result from undigested lactose.
No single person originated the lactose intolerance diet. Physicians treating symptoms of lactose intolerance have developed this diet through observation and trial and error by their patients.
Lactose is the main sugar in milk. Normally when lactose reaches the small intestine, it is broken down into simpler sugars by the enzyme lactase. These simpler sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream and eventually are used as fuel for he body.
Lactase is made in the cells that line the small intestine. In some people, these cells do not make enough
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale.)
lactase. In a few people, they do not make any at all. When people do not make enough lactase, they cannot digest some portion of the lactose they have eaten. Lactose that is not broken down cannot be absorbed into the blood. Instead, it remains in the large intestine (colon) where bacteria convert it into lactic acid. Lactic acid is a laxative and an irritant to the colon.
Symptoms of lactose intolerance include nausea, bloating, abdominal pain or cramps, abundant gas, and diarrhea. These symptoms usually begin anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating a food that contains lactose. Symptoms of lactose intolerance can be uncomfortable enough to temporarily interfere with daily activities, however, they do not harm the digestive system and lactose intolerance does not progress to any other disease or disorder.
Lactose intolerance is an extremely common condition. It rarely develops before age six, and is due to a genetically programmed decline in lactase. This decline begins around age two, the age when most infants have finished the transition from breast milk to solid food. In some people this decline continues to the point where in late childhood or early adulthood they develop lactose intolerance symptoms. Lactose intolerance is strongly linked to race and ethnicity. People of Northern European ancestry have the lowest rate of lactose intolerance, about 5% In Hispanic, Jewish, and Southern European populations, the rate is about 70%, and it reaches 90% or more in Asian and African populations. Worldwide, in adults the inability to digest lactose is much more common
than the ability to digest it. Although the symptoms are similar, lactose intolerance is not the same as cow's milk intolerance. Cow's milk intolerance is a food allergy and causes an allergic reaction. Only about 3.4% of Americans have cow's milk intolerance.
The degree to which people are lactose intolerant varies widely. Some people can drink a glass of milk daily without developing unpleasant symptoms. Others can drink only small amounts of milk at a time, and have fewer symptoms if milk is mixed with food. Some people can eat cheese, ice cream, or yogurt, but cannot drink milk. A few people are 100% lactose intolerant and even the smallest amount of lactose will produce unpleasant symptoms.
Although the greatest quantities of lactose are found in milk and dairy products, milk is used in the preparation of many processed foods such as chocolate bars, puddings, and soups. Food labels must list all the ingredients in processed foods. Lactose intolerant individuals should look for these words on the label that indicate the presence of lactose: milk, condensed milk, whey, curds, milk-by-products, dry milk solids.
Lactose is found in other unlikely places such as:
- bread and baked goods and biscuit, pancake, and cookie mixes
- processed breakfast cereals and breakfast drinks
- instant mashed potatoes
- lunch meats (except kosher meats which are lactose-free)
- salad dressings
- all chocolate candies, caramels, butterscotch, and many others
- as filler in medications. As many as 6% of prescription and over-the-counter drugs contain lactose
The amount of lactose found in these hidden sources is not enough to affect most people, but for the severely lactose intolerant, it can be enough to cause symptoms and make meal planning a necessity and eating out difficult.
Lactose and diet
Lactose intolerance is treated by eliminating lactose from the diet beyond the level where it produces symptoms. Alternately, enzymes such as LACTAID or Dairy Ease can be added to milk 24 hours before drinking. These enzymes pre-digest lactose and can eliminate 70-99% of it. Lactose-reduced milk is available at many supermarkets. All LACTAID and Dairy Ease milk is 70% lactose-free except for non-fat LACTAID, which contains no lactose. When eating other foods that contain lactose, LACTAID and Dairy Ease capsules are taken at the same time that an individual begins eating. These capsules contain enzymes to help digest lactose.
Since dairy products are the main source of calcium in the standard American diet, people who eliminate milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products must adjust their diet to get enough calcium. Calcium is critical to building and maintaining strong bones and teeth and is needed for metabolic processes such as muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission.
The United States Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences has developed values for the adequate intake (AI) of calcium. These values are based on age and gender. Some nutritionists and researchers believe that they are too low. The AI values for calcium are listed below.
- children birth-6 months: AI 210 mg
- children 7-12 months: AI 270 mg
- children 1-3 years: AI 500 mg
- children 4-8 years: AI 800 mg
- children 9-13 years: IA 1,300 mg
- adolescents 14-18 years: IA 1,300 mg
- adults age 19-50:IA 1,000 mg
- adults over age 50: IA 1,200 mg
- pregnant women 18 years and younger: IA 1,300 mg
- pregnant women over age 18:IA 1,000 mg
- breastfeeding women 18 years and younger: IA 1,300 mg
- breastfeeding women over age 18: IA 1,000 mg
Some good sources of calcium that do not contain lactose are:
- sardines with bones, canned in oil, 3 ounces: 270-325 mg
- salmon with bones, canned, 3 ounces: 180-205 mg
- tofu, firm, made with calcium sulfate added, 1/2 cup: 204 mg
- pinto or red beans, cooked, 1/2 cup: 43 mg
- white beans, cooked, 1/2 cup: 113 mg
- bok choy, 1/2 cup cooked: 61 mg
- bread, whole wheat, 1 slice: 20 mg
- orange juice, fortified with calcium, 6 ounces: 200-260 mg
- soymilk, 1 cup: 200-300 mg
A dietitian can help the severely lactose intolerant person develop a meal plan that will meet their dietary need for calcium and/or recommend a calcium supplement. Calcium supplements are available over-the-counter at pharmacies and supermarkets.
Lactose intolerance cannot be cured. The purpose of the lactose intolerance diet is to bring the symptoms of bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea under control so that the individual is comfortable, and the symptoms do not disrupt his or her daily activities.
The benefit of a lactose intolerant diet is that the uncomfortable symptoms of bloating, nausea, stomach cramps, and diarrhea are controlled.
Lactose intolerance is variable. Individuals must work out through trial and error how much and which lactose-containing foods then can eat without stimulating symptoms. During trial and error experimentation, there will be moments of misjudgment when symptoms develop.
The greatest risk to this diet is that the individual will not get enough calcium.
Research and general acceptance
The lactose intolerant diet is accepted by medical professionals as a standard treatment for this condition. The diet has existed for many years and is not controversial.

Some new photos have been found of Lincoln's second inauguration. An article by Johanna Neuman of the Los Angeles Times titled Photos found of Lincoln's second inauguration has the details.
Here is the text of the Library of Congress' announcement:
Details of Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration come into clearer focus with the recent discovery at the Library of Congress of three glass negatives that show the large crowd gathered at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., for the president's address on March 4, 1865.
These negatives had been labeled long ago as being either the Grand Review of the Armies or the inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant. Carol Johnson, a curator of photography at the Library of Congress, spotted the misidentification on Friday, Jan. 4, while checking old logbooks and finding the annotation "Lincoln?" in the margin. Only two other photos of Lincoln's second inauguration were previously known, but a careful visual comparison confirmed that these three negatives portray the same event.
"These negatives add to our knowledge of this special event," said Johnson. "They show what that wet Saturday looked like with the massing of the crowd. They also convey the excitement of the people."
Johnson was prompted to examine the negatives after a Library of Congress patron alerted her to the fact that these visually similar photos had radically different identifications in the Library's online Civil War photographic negative collection. But instead of choosing between Grant and the Grand Armies Review, she opened a new door to the past by looking closely at the images and recognizing Lincoln's second inauguration.
The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division has updated the catalog records. To view the full set of photos, visit the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog at

The Library's American Memory online presentation "I Do Solemnly Swear" offers a special look at Lincoln's second inauguration, including the handwritten text of the address, which is part of the Library's Abraham Lincoln Collection in the Manuscript Division. Visit http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pihtml/pi022.html. Lincoln's second inaugural address, coming just a few weeks before the end of the Civil War, contained such stirring phrases as: "... With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds ..."

Chevy Volt Flat Tire, No Spare Tire Woes
Well luck finally caught up to me. I made it 2 years and 3 months without a flat, but I knicked the curb on the way to the airport last week and BAM! Blowout flat tire. Not a good way to start a trip to Vegas. The tire had a nice 1 inch tear in the sidewall from rubbed against a curb on a right hand turn. No amount of tire repair goo was going to help this one.
Alas that is one of the issues not only with the Volt, but with many electric cars which frankly just have no room for a spare tire. Even other cars today are forgoing the spare for weight and efficiency reasons. I know my case is not the first, but I actually feel quite fortunate for the situation I was in. I called AAA (a very good idea to have especially if you don't have a spare) They sent a tow truck out and flatbedded the Volt to a local tire shop. (Fortunately one was still open). The local Wheel Works didn't have the Goodyear Fuel Max Tire in stock, but had it on order for next day delivery. No matter, I was on my way out of town anyways.
The tow truck showed up 45 minutes later and gave me a 4 mile tow (out of my 5 mile allotment on AAA) and after doing some paperwork to get the new tires on the car, I caught a ride to the airport and used Southwest's "Flat Tire Rule" Who knew people actually needed to use it? To catch the next flight out at no additional charge. I missed dinner in Vegas, but in the grand scheme of things it really wasn't that bad.
I suspect that others have had their tires burst in less convenient locations. (I was able to pull into a local parking lot before all the air was out.) So it leads me to think about a couple words of wisdom if you have a car like the Volt with no spare.
1.) AAA is your friend. The tow probably would have cost $160 rack rate. Instead, it cost me all of a $60 / year membership. Obviously you don't get a flat all the time, but it really was convenient!
2.) No spare means you can't take the flat tire to shop and have them take their time, your car is out of service. Also the Goodyear Fuel Max's aren't that readily stocked yet. I've heard of a few folks buying spare wheels to keep around at home, but not sure how often this happens and whether that's really worth the effort.
3.) Long road trip? The I-5 probably isn't the best place for a flat and needing a very very long tow. Make sure you've got the towing coverage or better yet a spare option.
Anybody else out there with a flat experience?

Go to Facebook's Chevy Volt Owners group page, a guy managed to fit a deflated spare tire in the trunk vertically by trimming a slot in the substrate.
Thanks, Pat. At last I know what the display tire readout is!
Question for you and others. I see your gas symbol says 111 mi. Does the reading slowly decrease as time goes by, even if you use NO gas? Mine does and I haven't seen it mentioned on the sites.
I have 13630 miles and have used 11 gal gas. Have had it year and a half. Zero issues.

Thanks for sharing this story. I just got my Volt at the beginning of the month. I immediately noticed that my tire pressure indicator showed one tire with less air than the 3 others. I ignored it at first until I read your article. Took a look at the bad tire and saw a screw in it! I immediately patched it with a $3 tire plug kit I bought from WalMart. Even though my Volt comes with OnStar and the roadside assistance, will be keeping the tire plug in my car just in case.
I've had a total of 5 flats over my 36,000 miles. These tires are really weak. They should be putting run flats on them! Last one was when someone stole my car and glovebox contents which included the "free" tire replacement sticker for the front right tire which has been blown 4 times now!
Thanks for the article, I have had 2 flats since i have a got my used Volt a little less than a year ago. The tires go completely flat and they even come out of the rim. I slightly damaged the rims on Both front wheels. I dont understand why? the wheels still have thread on them and they was no warning about a leak or anything. For the first, I taught i hit a big nail or something but the second one is too much of a coincidence. Any inputs?
Had my first flat today – really inconvenient – tire store did not have one in stock and the car rental told me I would have to wait about 6 hours- it wasnt leaking to bad so I took it home and got my pickup and took the tire off and back to the shop- IF I had a spare I would not have lost so much time running around – I wanna SPARE !
This is a problem, I have had my Volt for 3 months and 3 flats!! I can blame the car, but tires may be weak. First one I ran over something…..could not find it, another a nail and last night a curb jumped out at us (we did hit it pretty hard). First tire I went to Chevy and it was a bit over $200. This time I will try another place, of course that included the foam stuff, which worked great the first time, but not last night. Hassle!! But still love the car!!
I am happy to find fellow volt owners with the same problem. My volt's front driver side tire just blew up on the highway, sending me flying across 4 lanes of fast moving traffic. With the terrible service from Chevy roadside assistance, my toddler and I were trapped in the car on an overpass for almost two hours.
While everyone at the Chevy service department agrees that the tires on the boot are weaker than normal tires, no one is willing to take the blame.
I have owned my volt for a year and this is the second blow out I have dealt with.
Is there any resource anyone has found? I am ready to trade my volt in for a car that won't put me and my family in a more dangerous situation than normal.
Got a flat, 11:00 pm on a Saturday night due to a really bad pothole. Split the sidewall. It is a pain-in-the-you-know-what not to have a spare when no tire store in the area will be open for at least 36 hours.
I am getting a spare wheel and will set it up with a tire to keep in my garage, and to take with on long trips. That, and a scissors jack with a lug wrench.
I get the need to reduce weight, but a blowout is too common an issue not to have a backup plan.
I have had the Volt for a year and a half and experienced 4 flats!!! It is ridiculous and dangerous. The tires that come with the car are just too weak! And the fact that Chevy did not include a spare or a jack or anything with the car, it's a disaster waiting to happen! I wasn't even told about the car not having a spare. I only found out when I experienced my first flat and I went in the trunk to find the jack and the spare. What a shock it was!! I had never seen anything like that before. I searched the owner's manual and did see that Chevy does have free roadside assistance for Volt and Spark owners because of the fact that there is no spare, and they will tow the car to any Chevy dealership for free (see the section in the owner's manual on "what if I get a flat"). That's the problem though. The dealership charges a ton of money for each new tire – money that I would not have paid if I wasn't towed there. This policy of not having spare/jack in the vehicle in conjunction with the fact that they tires are crappy and easy to puncture – is the worst thing about this car, and I would not recommend it to others for that reason. It is a bad and unnecessary risk and it's frightening!
P.S. The dealership mentioned that the Volt does have a extra tire warranty that you can pay for when you buy the Volt. If you're considering buying, this is probably something you will need.
I just had my second flat tire after owning my Volt 10 months on my way to work. I wasn't told that there wasn't a jack either and the first time I went nuts trying to find it.
I did buy the extra tire warranty luckily, but the service department repaired the tire the first time. This same tire went flat today while I was on the expressway going 70, 50 miles from home. No accident, but I lost control for a minute and was certainly frightening. I want a new tire this time, but I agree the tires must be fragile. I'm wondering if I should look into run flats.
I'm wondering if it is the extra 500lbs of battery that makes the tires so weak? I just hit a pothole today and blew it out. I was not happy I had to have a tow.
I thought about a donut, jack, and tire wrench to keep in a nice "box". But the donut wouldn't work on the front because it is too low and probably would drag with the donut? Just guessing.
This really is an inconvenient problem especially since the tires seem to blow really easily.
4 car payments and first flat. I didn't know there was no spare?!? Nor did I know there's an issue with tires. Are there better tires out there? I drive 120 miles daily five of 7 days. I can't have tire issues.
I got a set of 4 stock volt wheels I am keeping one in my garage and for long trips. but will sell the other 3 stock volt wheels in new condition for 150$ each if someone is interested. Steve 562-301-4980
I've had my Volt for 2 weeks. I love it. We were leaving on a vacation at 9 PM Thursday night – Had a small puncture in my front passenger side tire. No spare. Had to be towed home in another city. Upon return had to be towed again (free from Chevy's free tow – down to a Chevy Dealer. Was told it was a puncture – near sidewall – therefore a road hazard and unrepairable (new tire)I had to purchase a new tire approximately $145. Cheaper tires available but not through them and not until could be ordered on Monday 3 days later.
IMPORTANT for other Volt owners to be aware of – I was told that if you use the little pump in the truck of Volt – it contains a special gooey sealant that once pumped into your tire/wheel – will decommission the tire air pressure sensor – which costs a bit over $90 to replace.
WISDOM = purchase a full size spare to be somehow available and have a jack usable with your Volt. ALSO – carry an inexpensive puncture tire repair kit – (small enough to carry in the "trunk" to repair any puncture hole – instead of the supplied puncture repair pump that will result in the further need of replacing a $90+ air pressure sensor.
I'd love to find a lightweight tire and jack that could be used in a flat tire situation.
If anyone is aware of a rugged and high quality tire proven goo on the heavier weight of the Volt – I'd love to know about it.
Thank you all for taking the time for your responses here.
I have leased my Volts for a bit more then 3 months. Had a nail punctured tire within a months and repaired. Now all 4 tire pressure a down starting with the one that was punctured before. In my last 25 years of car driving, I have never gotten a flat tire. If the tire quality is the problem, I wonder Chevelot should take responsibility of that. I think the situation should be taken care as a recall issue.
How is it possible that in this day and age of elite computer designed automobiles still end up with big problems on the road?
I'm on the freeway traveling at 65mph. and I see the car in front of me losing the hitch ball extension. It landed in the middle of the lane. I figured I would clear the piece of square metal pipe with the hitch ball attached since it is only about two inches square. Baamm !!! It hit the bottom of my car and flew up in the air and went over the driver's side view mirror of the car behind me. A little more to the center and it would have hit that driver in the middle of the face. What are your chances if a piece of metal of about thirty pounds hit you in the face at 65mph? I think it would take your head right off or explode your head. I contacted the Volt's manufacturer and asked them if I could use larger tires to increase the height of the car and they said that I can't do that and can't increase the height of the vehicle either. Sometime after that I get a flat tire and in shock I find no spare tire. This is stupid. First manufacturers shrink the spare tires to toy tires and now they take it out completely. This is stupid but understandable since toy tires are junk. Why don't they take the steering wheel away next? Please don't let those engineers read about my steering wheel comment. Now, the grand finale. The guy with the tow truck is trying to figure where to hook up the car to pull it on his truck. He says the car is too low and he can't see where to hook it up. He had to put his face on the pavement on this beautiful spring morning to be able to find a spot to hook it up. I live in Arizona where the temperature can reach 120deg.F in the shade but much hotter on the pavement. You can't put your face on the pavement year round or you will leave your face on the pavement. What kind of engineers designed this car? I had just talked to a car salesman about a new Volt but I just changed my mind. Maybe, Tesla next?
There's a hook provided with my Gen 2 which screws on to the front of the car. I had a blow out today due to a pot hole and had to be towed.
You have to be flat-bed towed, not regular towed for any hybrid car. The tow truck driver should know that!
Just exp. my first flat on the upper left driver's side. Called the dealer who said to have it towed or drive it so they could find out what the problem was. Fortunately my late husband and I had bought an air compressor many years ago just to keep our car and bike tires inflated. So got out the compressor, got the tire up toe 38 psi, drove to the dealer, hoping that I would not get a flat, and they found a small puncture hole in the tire. Fixed it and it's fine. Had no idea the car had no spare. Also called Geico and immediately purchased roadside assistance ins. for $25./year. I only drive a few thousand miles a year and am not sure I would recommend a volt to anyone. I am seriously thinking of selling it
i leased mine, and learned about no-spare when i was taking delivery….might not have done it had i known….this is simply incredible stupidity….
I thought I was alone. Only 22,000 miles on 2013 Volt and I've had to replace two of the Goodyear tires the car came with. There's obvious a problem and Chevy and/or Goodyear need to put a recall on these tires. They're clearly not safe. Also, we need options for adding an aftermarket spare to the trunk space. Side note: Still love the car though.
It appears the Goodyear tires GM put on the 2013 Volt are dangerously below normal durability as the FL tire had to be replaced at 17K miles followed by the RR failing at 24K miles. Despite the usual pothole and road debris encounters my previous set of Pirelli P4s ran 115K+ miles failure free and the Michelins I had before them lasted 64K miles without a failure. Additionally, I see my two remaining factory tires are down to 6/32 to 7/32 of an inch tread after only 24K miles which might explain the Volt's distressingly poor grip in rain & snow. To put that in perspective, the aforementioned Pirelli tires still had from 5/32 to 7/32 of an inch tread left when at 115K miles. The more recent replacement cost $168 which is ridiculous to begin with, but having them need replacement at the rate of one tire approximately every 6K to 12K miles makes it worse. I think GM owes it to the people who bought its Volt to replace these hazardous failed attempts at a tire or, at the very least, provide them a spare and jack.
This note is supplemental to my note of 01/03/17. As if the previously mentioned 2 failures in 7K miles was not annoying enough, the tire that replaced the second failed tire also sustained damage deemed unacceptable to repair only about 200 miles after it was installed. Based on the '3 strikes and you are out' principle I declined to throw good money after bad on these weak tires. As Chevrolet was only willing to sell me a tire identical to the 3 that already failed very prematurely and refused even to concede 3 failures in 7.5K miles is unusual, never mind 2 in 200 miles, I called Goodyear directly. Unlike Chevy, Goodyear cares about customer support and satisfaction and replaced all 4 of their Assurance Fuel Max tires with their superior Assurance TripleTred tires for $181 more than Chevrolet wanted to charge me for one untrustworthy Assurance Fuel Max tire. Having put 70K miles on a set of previously owned TripleTred tires without a single failure under virtually identical conditions to those I used the Fuel Max tires under I can say with confidence that they are not only much more damage resistant, but they are also far more durable and much better tires in rain and snow while being only marginally noisier and rougher than the otherwise inferior Fuel Max. Chevy, btw, seemed to maintain their air pump and can of sealant are a totally adequate substitute for having a spare tire in the first generation Volts, but obviously they do not believe that as I see they felt compelled to offer spare tires in the second generation Volts.
I have only owned my 2017 Chevy Volt for three weeks. Last night on the highway going about 50 mph I hit a small pothole and my front left tire blew out. I was shocked when I opened the trunk and found there was no spare, only "a kit." About 5 pages in the owner's manual were devoted to how to use the kit, but it was too dark to read and I noted it did say for severe damage the kit would not work. I called roadside assistance and the driver told me that he could not help me use the kit because of legal liability issues: if I hit someone after using the kit, he would be liable and could lose his job. Since I did not have a spare, I had to have the Volt towed to my house. Missed a full day of work. This is crazy. Can someone recommend what tires I should buy to replace these? I also want to buy a spare.
We had a flat at 10:30 on a Friday night. I pulled off the freeway and into a gas station. By that time the tire was a little mangled and the flat repair only got us back to the freeway on ramp. We left the car on the shoulder and called a cab. Came back the next morning and fixed the flat. I bought a used wheel and new tire for a spare. Also carry a small hydraulic lift and a lug wrench.
Brand new chevy just fews weeks out of the lot. Had a tire blow out with a slight hit to the curb on right turn to my office parking lot. Used sealant but tire would not inflate. Called chevy service and they would only tow to the dealer. Took it to the dealer and they brought up initial issue of now sealant gumming up the sealant. Ahhhh. It all seemed liked a scam.
Have been using my infiniti on the same turn to office without any flats for years. Something is fishy about these tires.
This was the exact thing that happened to me last April as I was on my way to the Airport, and heading out of the country with my Chevy Volt Mark II. I hit a curb, and no spare to be found. I didn't bring my AAA card since I was going out the country, but I won't do that again. Luckily, there was someone around who was working and saw the whole thing, who happened to have a AAA card.
Chevy should fix this issue.
Same rear tire blow out on my 2017 Chevy Volt. I used On Star and advised them I needed a tow. They asked if I had a spare and I said No, the tire repair goo isn't going to fix the tire. My VIN was given to the tow company and after answering ALL the questions – they sent a guy in a car out to replace my tire. UGH! With a child in the car with me, I now have to call back and get real help which is another hour plus. My first OnStar experience is HORRID. It sounds like I should get AAA again.

On March 5, the Regional Planning Committee decided to deposit Plan 11092A for public review. This plan would establish a National Park on the eastern slopes of Mount Scopus, beyond the Green Line, in a wadi nestled between the Palestinian neighborhoods of Issawiya and A Tur. Under routine circumstances, the declaration of a national park would not necessarily generate interest. But the circumstances of this plan, and its ramifications are hardly routine.

Ouidad Botanical Boost is an amazing spray conditioner that can be used two ways. I used it both as a leave in conditioner after washing my hair and then again as a refresher spray. I love the concept of a refresher spray, and this fits the bill very nicely, as it doesn't dry out your hair and adds vitamins and aloe vera to calm frizzies.
Ouidad has an entire system to care for and style curls, and if you have curly hair, it's worth checking out their site. Basically, the recommend getting a cut that suits your curly hair and then washing and conditioning them with products for curly hair. Using duck clips, you can style your hair to maximize curls - but they don't really recommend blow drying your curls unless you use a diffuser sparingly.
I have extremely curly hair but I don't style it curly these days. I'm forever flat ironing and blowing it out. However, I like the idea of having the option to style it curly should I wish to do so. I may have to stop in to the salon the next time I'm in NYC!
And here is a sampling of even more Ouidad products:

The life expectancy of a DSLR camera is usually measured in shutter actuations. For example, Nikon D5000 is good for about 100,000 shutter clicks. That doesn't mean that your camera dies the day it exceeds its shutter actuation limit, but the shutter count provides a good indication of the camera's condition.
While none of the major camera manufacturers provide an in-camera feature for checking the shutter count value, you can use digiKam to do that. Double-click on the most recent photo taken with your camera to open it in the preview pane. Press the Metadata button on the right side of the main window to show the Metadata sidebar. Click on the Makernote tab, and press the Full List button. Scroll down the list to locate the Shutter Count entry and its value. Keep in mind, though, that Shutter Count is a proprietary tag, so it may or may not be supported by your specific camera model.
By the way, if you are curious about the real life expectancy of your particular camera model, check the excellent Camera Shutter Life Expectancy Database resource.

For Lent I made the pledge to recite my rosary daily. I have a very old family rosary that was passed on to me (which I blogged about previously), and this was the rosary that I would use to pray. I really didn't know much about it apart from that it was passed down through our ancestor William Quirk. It was obviously hand-carved and the date 1816 was carved into the back. There had been some various people that tried to help me discover the origins of the rosary, but as I didn't even know the origins within Ireland of William Quirk, I have had to take everything with a grain of salt. Placing the rosary in a specific location doesn't lock in where William is from, but it could be a clue. Either way, I still didn't know much about it.
So I typed in "19th century Irish rosary" into a Google search and came to a site called the RosaryWorkshop.com. There as I scrolled down the page was a crucifix that looked almost exactly like mine...including a carved date on the back!
It was called a Penal Cross, so the first thing I thought of (before reading just a little further) was "Did this mean one of my ancestors was a criminal?" Talk about adding some spice to my Irish line! The answer was no...and yes. An explanation, because heaven knows I needed one!
I have no proof that William Quirk or any of his family were criminals, but they were guilty of criminal actions. What were their crimes? They were Catholic, and apparently this at one point, became a crime punishable by death. They couldn't pray openly so they prayed in secret and this is where the Penal Cross comes into play.
A Penal Cross was usually attached to a chaplet (one decade of a rosary) and a metal ring on the opposite end. The ring would be slipped over the person's thumb and the Penal Cross and chaplet were concealed up the person's sleeve. They would pray a decade of the rosary and then move the ring from their thumb to their index finger and then so on as they completed each decade. This is how they kept track of where they were in their prayers. The Penal Cross was designed with shortened "arms" of the cross because if they were any longer they would break off.
Lough Derg in County Donegal and the date on the back of the cross was to indicate the year of the pilgrimage. I don't know if this goes for all Penal Crosses and my research is certainly incomplete. I would find it difficult to believe that these crosses only were received/purchased if you made a pilgrimage.
Some differences with my rosary and the chaplets I've found...well, my obviously Penal Cross doesn't have the symbols that often come on the front of the crucifix. This doesn't mean that it wasn't a Penal Cross (it obviously is...at least obviously to me) but it's not "typical". Also on the back of the cross I do have a cross carved onto the top of an "H" and then the date, but the "IHS" is not there...just the "H" and frankly it doesn't appear that the "I" and the "S" were worn off. My Penal Cross is attached to a 5-decade rosary...not a chaplet and it is missing a center and the first 5 beads that should be just above the cross. I have no idea why it's different.
So more mysteries attached to the rosary. While I didn't concretely locate it's origins, it did open my eyes to what my ancestors had gone through. While on RosaryWorkshop.com I read the following and tears ran down my face:
"In 1726 the Lord Chancellor, Richard West, declared that: 'The law does not suppose any such person to exist as an Irish Roman Catholic'. The right to vote was removed from Catholics by act of Parliament in 1727. Other Penal Laws included the closure of Catholic schools (which forced education of Catholics underground) and the barring of Catholics from entering a profession, the army, or attending Catholic worship - however they were required to attend Anglican service." (http://www.rosaryworkshop.com/MUSEUM-Hunt-Penal-Rosaries.html)
I knew there was hatred, and I knew that the majority of the Irish Catholics were the poorest and worked the land. That the rents were raised and they were run off the land and left without means to exist, but I didn't realize that through legal means that it had made it illegal to be Catholic and to force them to even pray in a church not their own. I gripe about my church often enough (especially right now with the whole birth control garbage going on), but this really made me appreciate how strongly my family had to have felt about their faith. They were persecuted for it and gosh darn it they weren't going to give in. No English-made law was going to keep them from their faith.
Even though this rosary isn't a Penal Chaplet, the Penal Cross on it reminds me of what they went through to keep their faith despite great odds. Somehow saying my prayers on this rosary has taken on a deeper meaning.
Since I originally began writing this post, I have been in contact with some wonderful people at Lough Derg. Lough Derg made my week by telling me that this is indeed a Lough Derg Penal Cross. You can be sure that I will be putting a pilgrimage on my to-do list when I get to finally visit Ireland! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Prior Mohan and Maureen!

Fans of the bakery's superb pies—which come in such imaginatively off-kilter flavors as sweet potato apple crumble, buttermilk chess, and chili chocolate, and are made from all-natural ingredients—assemble as early as 6:00 a.m. in the hopes of lining up their holiday dessert menu. But if you miss the boat (or live too far away), fear not. The newly-published Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book (Grand Central Publishing, $30) shares more than sixty recipes from sister-proprietors Emily Elsen and Melissa Elsen's Southern-inflected menu. As a frequent patron (I visit every Saturday, and sometimes Sunday, too), I can attest to the addictiveness of their output. And while their signature Salted Caramel Apple is an excellent update of a classic, Black Bottom Oat—with a chewy cookie-like top and a layer of chocolate ganache at the bottom—can't be beat.Four and Twenty Blackbirds's Salted Caramel Apple pie and Black Bottom Oat pie flank Emily and Melissa Elsen, the sisters who started the addictive bakery.

(CNN) -- Kimberly McCarthy on Wednesday evening became the 500th prisoner executed in Texas since 1976, when the death penalty was reinstated in the state, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
McCarthy was pronounced dead at 7:37 p.m. ET at the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, said department spokesman John Hurt.
The 52-year-old former occupational therapist was convicted in 1997 of murdering her 71-year-old neighbor, Dorothy Booth, a retired college professor.
Booth was found beaten and stabbed to death, and one of her fingers was severed, indicating a ring was forcibly removed, the Department of Criminal Justice said.
Evidence later showed McCarthy had pawned the stolen diamond ring the day of the crime. When she was arrested, McCarthy was found with Booth's credit cards and a large knife stained with her neighbor's blood, the department said.
In her last statement, McCarthy thanked her supporters, including her ex-husband, attorney and spiritual adviser.
"Thank you everybody. This is not a loss, this is a win. You know where I am going. I am going home to be with Jesus. Keep the faith. I love y'all," McCarthy said, according to Jason Clark, another department spokesman.
Outside the prison, nicknamed the "Walls Unit," a small crowd of demonstrators gathered Wednesday afternoon to protest the execution. They held signs that read, "Don't kill for me" and "End executions in Texas."
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Monday denied McCarthy's appeal of her sentence and declined on Tuesday to reconsider it, saying her claims should have been raised previously, CNN affiliate KPRC reported.
Texas has led the nation in the number of executions since 1976, but the number of states carrying out capital punishment continues to drop.
Last year, Texas executed more people than it sentenced to death for the eighth straight year.
Four states -- Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Arizona -- accounted for three quarters of all U.S. executions in 2012.
CNN's Joe Sutton contributed to this report.

Loss is the inevitable that takes us by surprise. The surprise is that it actually happened and then the mysterious journey can be very confusing. Ranging from feeling like you are on a roller coaster to feeling mired in depths of sadness. This journey is made all the more complex if the relationship was unresolved or conflicted. Loss is inevitable and everyone faces it. There is no one path. Many people will believe their is one path and then expect you to be on it or over it. Your path is your path. It is unique and it might have unique stumbling blocks. Your not alone.

When we lose someone we love, it feels like we have lost a part of ourselves. Something within us has been torn out, leaving a hole that we easily imagine will never heal. The pain can be profound, the feelings of helplessness, or regret, or guilt overwhelming. Having a partnership where you can talk through these feelings can make a huge difference not only in how quickly and how well you are able to move through the process of grieving, but also how you ultimately are able to frame the experience and your memories of the person lost into the narrative of your own self and life as you move forward. What you carry with you afterward is just as important as surviving the hurt of the loss.

Losing a loved one, a person, a pet is like losing a part of ones self. Coping with loss is not a simple, cookbook process. No one can tell you how to manage and while some people talk about "stages of grief" it will never be that simple. Some people can find solace in their religious faith, their faith's scriptures, their faith's rituals, their faith communities. For others these resources sound and feel hollow. They need a person or people to walk with them and talk with them on the journey after death, separation or loss. I am willing to work with you throughout that process.

I know personally how devastating grief is. When we lose someone or a relationship we love, it feels as if we will not be able to ever recover. Sometimes we get stuck. With a directed grief approach, you can learn how to manage your loss and move through the process. By discussing your feelings and understanding about grief, we will release the pain more quickly and retain what was beautiful, helping you move towards acceptance.

Each individual copes with grief in their own way and in their own time. I support clients at all stages of their grief. Some clients are anticipating a death in the family or experiencing a loved one being very ill. Others may have recently experienced a death in the family and there are clients who are coming to therapy due to re-experiencing triggers from a past chiildhood loss. Wherever you are in your life, I provide a non judgmental, safe space for you to talk, experience your array of feelings and to be heard. Our work is collaborative and I will be guided by where you are in your grief and what you are most needing from me and work together.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J.

For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don't include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

|Assuming that the flares tend to occur in highly sheared magnetic fields which also lead to a twisting of magnetic neutral line in complex active regions, we have defined a 'twisting index'. The correlation of this twisting index with flares of various importance classes has been investigated. For cases where at least one bright flare has occurred in the complex active region the number of flare events seems to increase with the twisting index. For the cases of at least one normal flare or all faint flares, a similar but weaker dependence has been noticed.

I recently read Skye Cardona's Hot tubbin' toddlers.
It was an article about seeing children in a hot tub and her concern for the health impact on the child.
"While the rules only state that a child under the age of 14 should not be in the spa unsupervised, I highly doubt that long exposure to the high temperatures of a hot tub can be safe for a toddler."
Which spurred me to do a little checking. Truth is I could not find much on the subject and have never ran across any data showing the impact of hot tubs on children.
The only data I found related to children is a constant safety concern regarding drowning, which cant be taken lightly, given the thousands of terrible accidents which have happened. Most of all which could have been avoided with locking spa covers.
So absent good data, I am left with my own experience. My children grew up around hot tubs, and used them for more than the pool. Their friends used our spa, the dog used it, the whole neighborhood used it.
The kids had parties in hot tubs, they pretended they were space ships, and we enjoyed lots of family time in the hot tub. I think Mom even used the hot tub as a occasional quick bath on return from the beach.
My point is, sure they got a little over heated when they spend more than 15 minutes in them, but they also got out when they were hot. As for toddlers, I think a parent has to use common sense. When yours kid's cheeks are as red as apples, its time to get out of the hot tub.
Just my opinion, no facts here other than my kids love the hot tub! Here's some advice on Hot Tub Safety and how to have a safe spa around your home.
- Always have adult supervision when children are using the spa. Never allow them to use it alone.
- Keep a locking spa cover on the spa when the hot tub is not in use.
- Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
- Don't allow children to jump into the spa.
- Check your drain covers, to be sure they are secure.
- Persons with recent diarrhea should not use the spa.
- Showering and washing well before using the spa will help prevent waterborne illness.
- Limit time in the tub. 5-15 minutes at a time.

At the moment, the Mets are sending three position players: CF/RF Cesar Puello, CF/LF Darrell Ceciliani, INF Danny Muno and three pitchers: RHP Greg Peavey, RHP Ryan Fraser and LHP Chase Huchingson. In 2012, the Mets will be members of the Surprise Saguaros.
We'll analyze the position players in this post, and take on the pitchers in part two tomorrow.
Position PlayersCF/RF Cesar Puello What he is: Big, strong, fast and still incredibly raw. There's upside here, but he's still a long way from fulfilling it.
2012: A broken hammate bone has limited Puello, my #6 pre-season Mets prospect, to just 61 games this year. When he's played he's shown speed: he's 17-for-19 stealing bases and some power - his second half isolated slugging percentage of .200 is very strong. However, his walk rate has disintegrated from 6.8% in the SAL in 2010 to 2.6% this year. His on-base percentage has been sustained by 15 hit-by-pitches.
Why He's Going: Puello falls squarely into the category of an injured guy who needs more time this year. Also, he's hit .293/.379/.552 in August, so this is a bid, or a chance to solidify his place in the Binghamton outfield on Opening Day 2013.
CF/LF Darrell CecilianiWhat he is: The Mets' fourth-round pick in 2009, who has been held back by injuries in 2011 and 2012. Some scouts like the swing enough to see an everyday, while more other slide towards the fourth-outfielder side. 2012: Recurring hamstring injuries have limited Ceciliani, my #30 prospect pre-season to 19 games in 2012 after an off-season when he had a stress fracture in his foot. When he's played, he's hit, going .324/.388/.451 with six extra-base hits, eight walks and only 12 strikeouts.
Why He's Going: He just needs to play more in a season in which he will fall short of 30 games during the regular season.
INF Danny MunoWhat he is: The Mets' 8th round pick in 2011 and my #36 prospect preseason, has hit since turning pro playing mostly playing the middle infield. At 23 in advanced-A, he might make it as a backup infielder.
2012: I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of pop in Muno's swing in spring training 2012. Then, he was busted for PEDs and suspended for 50 games on May 18. He's got a nearly 1:1 K/BB ratio (49 K/45 BB) this year.
Why He's Going: He needs the reps.
