The open discussion format allows participants to learn directly from leaders, ask challenging questions, and address critical issues. The discussions are structured to provide both a functional overview of the organization and insight into a variety of leadership approaches.

Human Resources staff is available to review resumes and cover letters or to discuss career direction and advancement. It is also possible to arrange meetings with arts colleagues in the DC area according to participant interests.
Evaluation Process
Ongoing communication and evaluation is encouraged as a part of every experience at Americans for the Arts. Participants and supervisors also take a step back at key points during the term to assess time lines and measure progress. Intern coordinators are available throughout the term to address unexpected challenges, help bridge communication, or get over roadblocks. Exit interviews and final evaluations help us understand how we can improve the program.
Member Services
Interns receive a one-year base membership to Americans for the Arts. Benefits include legislative alerts, access to listservs, copies of member publications, bookstore discounts, research assistance, and invitations to member events.
Academic Support
Special arrangements can be made to accommodate academic degree requirements. Staff are available to meet or correspond with academic advisors, review mandatory assignments, and complete evaluations. Please include detailed program requirements in your application.
Program Details
Time Commitment
Interns commit to a mutually agreeable part-time (winter/spring and fall) or full-time (summer) schedule during regular hours of operation for the length of the term.

goddamn dude, be careful man
Glad to hear your okay.
Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
Joe, slow down. Glad you didn't get any serious injuries.
Glad you're Ok Joe. You're gonna have to keep workin two jobs to pay for all the cars you're tearin up.
Merry Christmas to you and your family too, Joe.
Really glad you're ok, and thanks for staying in touch and letting us know how you're doing.
Careful with that burning the candle at both ends thing. I'm sure this is impacting your family time too. Can you work your way out of one job??
Geezzz man. I'm glad to hear you made it out of the second accident OK. You gotta slow your life down a bit or you're going to do yourself in.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Damn! Glad you're alright (you're gonna have to have a whole bandolier full of cars at this rate.)
The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.
As I was watching the video,I saw the ding in your forehead and thought that wasn't there in the other vids.Glad your ok.This rolling cars over thing has gotta stop though.Good luck to you and yours.I'm still on the learning curve with the videos.I just bought a cam corder and now the fire wire isn't adapting to my computer.Back to the store again.CS I didn't forget ya. Later DanL
Glad you survived!
This accident thing seems to be an emerging trend with you Joe. Your luck won't last forever, slow down (your life and your car) and play it safe.

Good to see your mug, Joe! Is there a room at the restaurant you can sleep in?
~~~~√ √~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christ Joe! You need to be careful, third times a charm they say.
I recommend a Big P/U with a full roll cage instead of the pinto.
Actually, stay away from the pickups if you are concerned about safety. I have a friend who was an EMT and she said pickups tend to really wierd (and bad) things in accidents because the weight distribution is so strange -- really light in the back. Putting something in the back doesn't help much because in a serious accident that stuff is likely to go flying.
With the caveat that free advice is worth what you pay for it, you ought to read the book "First You Have to Row a Little Boat" by Richard Bode. It's really an allegory for life, and all of us who believe in the power of sailing are in it.
I don't know you from anywhere but this forum, but you sure resemble the sailor on page 51, who "tacks too soon, jumping from job to job...losing headway at every turn."
Hey, good book, and you're one of many with the same issues.
Glad to hear you're still around.
Driving is OK - Sleeping is OK - doing both at the same time is NOT OK.
Get another Volvo - good safe cars.

Good to see you are ok. From the looks of the video,you are still doing 100mph standing still though. I worked 2 jobs for over 15 years and still find it hard to break that 3 am bedtime habit and I haven't worked weekends or a full double shift in 5 years.I took the hit in added income because it was adding so many years to my life.It will get you one way or the other.
eh come againOriginally Posted by Dave Davis
Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
What car was this accident in, Joe?
I was stopped in traffic once, waiting for a light, and a pickup was driving down the other lane in the opposite direction. He was clipped on the back bumper by another car entering from a side street. The pickup flipped right over on it's roof in a flash and the driver and passenger were thrown out. The most awful thing I've ever seen.
So glad you survived relatively unscathed.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Slooowww down. Take some time and come on down for a sail in Sjogin. We're in our full off season mode. The Bay is empty now and quite peaceful. Take care and best Christmas wishes to you and yours. Keep the videos coming.

Amazing thing was the EMS that took me in said I was the best shape accident victim they ever had , she could not get over how good my HR & BP were. For the day they had me in the hospital I clocked my resting pulse at under 50 one time, mostly it was about 56 bpm. The nurses kept saying I had an amazing BP readings. I had to take a stress test before they would release me and I obviously passed. Ok enough of the WBF the dinning room is fullOriginally Posted by few3
Edit to add thank you for all your concern it's nice to know my virtual and real friends care about me .

Wow. Glad you're OK.
P.S. Slow down on ALL FRONTS!
Any landing you walk away from is successful, right?
You gotta get out of the habit of doing rollovers, though.

Jeez, I'm glad you're OK.
There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.

One of the funnies things ive ever seen was the BBC "Ski Sunday" Crash and burn sequence - where they took all the ski crash video from a season's races and put them together over that track..
Complicated problems usually have simple solutions - which are almost always wrong.
When you crashed, your thoughts weren't on where you were and on what could happen, your thoughts were somewhere else.
Happens a lot (to me as well), but shouldn't. If you fly in an Airplane, you expect the Pilot to be fully concentrated on flying. A car is a pretty dangerous machine.

FYI follow up I called the place where they towed my car too, the guy who answered the phone was in shock that I was the guy who was in the wreck calling. He said he has seen a lot of accidents, and was sure that the Driver of this one would never call anyone ever again.
He said I had to see the aftermath of the wreck.
Could be a real scary thing to see
So Monday I will go look and maybe take a little video. Also Monday I pick up my new/old Volvo.
A side note about living in a small town and running a restaurant I now get to hear all the gossip first hand. My accident has blossomed into a full blown tall tale. It seems I was out carousing around possibly with young women involved (I was alone in the car ) drunk and I was arrested for my second DWI ( Note: I have never been arrested for ANY DWI ) Oh but I was in big trouble, spending some serious time in the pokey. When the fact remains I was given a field sobriety test on the scene and a blood test at the hospital and as you can see I was not arrested. People in the restraunt last night looked visibly shocked to see me walking around and not in orange jumpsuit
Ahhh small town tavern owner you got to love it.
Reminds me of the scene in the movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle when psyco Neil Patrick Harris takes the car for a joy ride.
Great freakin movie

If you insist on being a movie-maker you must hire a stuntman, Joe.
Leave the car wrecks to the stuntman!
Or hire a good screenwriter to come up with a script that does not include car wrecks.
Sounds like you're running from the devil, but he's hitching a free ride on your shoulder.
Glad you escaped serious injury!
When do we get to see the video of the hot young bartender chicks you've been carousing around with?
Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
Hello Joe,
Glad to hear you are ok after your accident, we are selling my wife's car as I can't drive anymore and she would rather drive my expedition. Sounds like you might need a car.
If and when you ever have time could you post a site or other directions to doing the videos online. I have a webcam, never been hooked up, and Debbie has a video camera. I think it would be fun to post some how to type things.
I have spent time in the lot where they store the crashed vehicles. I've always found it disturbing. Kind of like a morgue full of corpses waiting for an autopsy.Originally Posted by Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )

Please Please take time for you wife and daughter. I am sure you are doing what you think is best for your family, but if you are not there with them...
I know lots of kids that have grown up without a dad at home. Some dads worked too much, some dads dead from a car wreck...
At the end of life, I have never heard a father say "I should have spent more time at work" what is normally said is "I should have spent more time at home".
Good luck
Think about it!

Both jobs are somewhat flexible. I still get Tess ready for school every morning and pick her up everyday since my wife works a 8-4 real job I also take her to most of her after school activities, and movies and other fun stuff. FWIW she kinda likes coming into the restaurant with me and helping out or just eating some chicken fingers and root-beer, or pretending to wait tables or help the girls with side work .
I spend a lot of time with her since both jobs are just in town and I don't have to commute everyday into the city like most dads in town. I'm one of those dads that is at every school function, play and after school activity. I sit with all the moms who's husbands are still on the 6:05 out of Grand Central
But I do need to manage the sleep better, I'm also working with my new partner at the restaurant so we can relieve each other and rest. He also lives in town so it's easy for either one of us to cover each other.
Again thanks for all the concern, I get what your saying and trust me I'm aware of it.
OK I have to get Tess off to school and me off to work

Joe, lose the Volvo, you need one of these babies:
I was just on the phone reporting the accident with LaQuita from Progressive Insurance and she asks me if I was driving the vehicle I said ...... nope, I was napping
I think I actually heard her spew coffee all over the place, she was laughing so hard

Draft Day Challenge, April 9
Daily baseball is all the rage in the fantasy sports world, so I will be covering the game a couple of times a week here at BaseballGuys.com. To that end, I've partnered with DraftDay.com to give all my wonderful followers, that's you, the chance to play the game on a daily basis. On Tuesday and Thursday's here at the site, I'll also be giving you some insight into the mind of The Oracle as I will give you some of my best plays for the day – even if I'm willing to admit that daily games are a bit of a crap shoot given the difficulty in predicting how a handful of at-bats will work out. With that, here are some of the better plays for Tuesday, April 9th.
To join a daily league remember to visit DraftDay.com by clicking on the link to their site.
1. John Buck
2. Wilin Rosario
Not only does Buck have three homers and 12 RBIs in just seven games (the most RBIs in Mets history over the first seven games of the season), but he's facing Cliff Lee, a pitcher who he has hit .292 with three homers against in 48 at-bats.
The Rockies' backstop is hitting .350 with three homers on the year, and Rosario also has four hits, including a home run, in nine at-bats against Tim Lincecum.
1. Todd Helton
2. Adrian Gonzalez
Helton is broken down, old, and generally ineffective. However, he's always risen to the occasion against Tim Lincecum who he is hitting .359 with a .479 OBP against across 39 at-bats.
I don't know how this is possible, but in eight at-bats against Clayton Richard A-Gone has only gone back to the dugout once without reaching base. That's right, he's got seven hits in eight at-bats (.875 with all the hits being singles). He's not playing, but Hanley Ramirez has been even better with nine hits in 10 at-bats against Richard.
1. Chase Utley
2. Donovan Solano
Utley is only 2-for-8 against Dillon Gee, but he's hit .301 with a .918 OPS at home in his career and he's also managed a .297 average and .888 OPS against righties in his career.
Solano has six hits in his last five games and is batting .292 on the young season. He's also produced four hits, including two homers, in seven at-bats against Kris Medlen.
1. Juan Uribe
2. Chris Johnson
Uribe flat out kills it against Clayton Richard as he's hit .385 with a 1.159 OPS, including two homers, against the lefty in 26 at-bats.
Johnson is only 1-for-3 against Wade LeBlanc in his career, but he had three hits Monday and his career numbers against lefties say he would produce about 78 RBIs over 550 at-bats.
1. Jed Lowrie
2. Ruben Tejada
Tejada has a hit in three of his last four games, and on the year he has five walks versus four strikeouts. He's also had a bunch of success against Cliff Lee with six hits in 13 at-bats (.462).
According to ESPN, Lowrie hasn't sung and missed the last five games covering a total of 31 swings. He's also produced nine line drives in the 19 balls he's put into play.
1. Jon Jay
2. Jeff Francoeur
Jay is hitting .242 on the young season, but he's a career .299 hitter who is about to face Bronson Arroyo, a hurler who he has 10 hits in 25 at-bats against (.400).
Francoeur has hit .316 in 19 at-bats against Mike Pelfrey. Frenchie has also been mildly effective at Kauffman Stadium in his career hitting .271 with 17 homers and 67 RBIs over 569 at-bats.
1. Wily Peralta vs. Cubs
2. Kris Medlen vs. Marlins
3. Andy Pettitte vs. Indians
4. Brandon Maurer vs. Astros
Peralta faces the Cubs, and the Cubbies are hitting .186. One-eighty-six, with an OPS of 540 folks. Last season Tim Hudson, he's a pitcher in case you forgot (though he used to DH in college), hit .218 with a .523 OPS. Just saying.
Medlen isn't facing the Astros, more on that below, but he is facing an terrible Marlins club that is hitting .228 with a .295 OBP and .298 SLG. They've also only gone deep two times while scoring 14 runs in seven games.
Pettitte has a 2.70 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in his last 13 starts. In his last six starts against the team from Cleveland he's also posted a 2.86 ERA.
Maurer looked pretty bad in his first outing as he allowed six runs in six innings, but at this point, how do you not consider any hurler against the Astros? The club from Houston is hitting .201 with a .234 OBP and .275 SLG. Honestly, you can't be a professional club and do any worse.

Since his professional debut in 2007, Trey Canard has established himself as one of the fastest racers in the country, always a threat to win both outdoors and indoors. A serious crash took him out of contention last year, but he's back in 2013, stronger and more determined than ever to dominate the AMA Supercross and Motocross championships aboard his Team Honda Muscle Milk CRF450R. Despite his ups and downs since turning pro, Canard won the 2008 Supercross Lites East title in only his second full season, and followed that up with the 2010 AMA Motocross Lites Championship. In 2011, he posted three Supercross race wins and was in the hunt for the overall championship when an injury sidelined the rising star. Canard returned to racing during the 2012 Supercross season, but was injured when another rider landed on him, ultimately knocking him out of all but one race last year. He spent the bulk of the year recovering, training, and was back on the bike as soon as it was possible. "The recovery process went really well," says Canard. "I am extremely thankful to have had my faith and family by my side throughout the entire process." Canard has been a part of Honda's racing program for many years, during both his amateur and professional careers. He is extremely confident in the team's efforts and is grateful to continue his relationship with Team Honda Muscle Milk. "It is a huge blessing to be back with Team Honda Muscle Milk for the 2013 season," says Canard. "My future was pretty uncertain with the gravity of my injury, and to know that Honda is there for me 100 percent and is confident in my ability to succeed is huge. "I think what makes Team Honda Muscle Milk one of the strongest teams in the paddock is their commitment to the sport and all the people involved in making each weekend happen. Honda has an extensive history in motocross and have been connected with some of the most influential riders in our sport like David Bailey, Ricky Johnson, Johnny O'Mara, Jeff Stanton, Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael. They have all accomplished great things and many have changed the sport into what it is today with Honda's support. Also, each person involved in the racing effort is very passionate. They love what they do and they have that inner drive to win races. Everyone works together with the same common goal. It really is a team effort." When it comes to the all-new 2013 CRF450R, Canard can hardly contain his enthusiasm. "The new Honda CRF450R is really great," he says. "I had a lot of success with the dual exhaust system in my CRF250R in 2008, so to see it being utilized again is really exciting to me. The bike is very light and nimble, which, as a racer, really lets you think outside the box when it comes to choosing different lines. Overall, knowing that I have a bike that can go anywhere I want it to on the track is a huge advantage." Heading into the 2013 season, Canard believes he has been given all the tools and resources he needs to be on the podium and win races. "I have dreams and goals of winning races and championships and I am confident in my ability to do so," he says, "but the only thing I can really guarantee is my effort.

The apple salad is absolutely delish! My hubby and I totally loved it. Great combination, and I also added the avocado because I crave them so. Thanks for the great raw food recipe. From a pair of raw food newbies.
1. Place all ingredients in your food processor.
2. Pulse very briefly. Just pulse once and take a look!
3. Contine to pulse briefly to get the a "chicken-salad" type consistency that is quite chunky, like the attached picture. Go slow!
4. Consume immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
I like to use a crisp green Granny Smith apple or Gala apple in this recipe, but any apple will do. I use a medium-to-large apple.
Don't over-process, because it will look like the attached pic in just a quick pulse or two! So go slow.
This recipe does not keep well AT ALL. Just make it immediately before you want to eat it, and eat it all or force other people to help you eat it!
This makes a great side salad. It's a bit heavy for a whole meal, but I have eaten it as an entire meal on occasion.
PS: I am so addicted to creating pie recipes that it was hard for me to buckle down to make a savory recipe, but I know that they are both important!
PPS: I got this salad to stand nice and stiff like that because I used a "food mold" for the first time. Handy little buggers!

Absolutely delicious! Love it lots. This is the first raw food dish I've made, consciously, and cannot fault it! Thanks!
I take photo's with my smartphone (Samsung S2) and then you can edit them to put them into a montage. If you have a smartphone, you should be able to do the same with some kind of photo editor application that either comes with the phone or you can find one to install for free.
I'm finding a lot of vegan/raw recipes require the use of nuts, however they're proving to be quite expensive for my budget. Do you have any hints/tips on how to go about buying nuts in bulk for cheap please? (or fresh herbs for that matter?)

I made this salad for my luch today and I really loved it! Very fresh and satisfying! I'll be making this salad often for sure! Thank you so much for your tasty and easy recipes.
Hey there, I want to try this soon. Do I need to soak the cashews first? And if so, for how long?
Love this recipe, it is now a raw staple for me. I make it for the beach put it in flax bread or eat as a salad. Very easy to make and I always have the ingredients in my house
OMGosh, this is so FRIGGIN good....I didn't have dill, but put some asparagus in....eating now.....yum yum yum~
I made this today, without the dill spice or salt, but it was soooo delicious! I plan on making it very often :)
Super good! I, too, added avocado and ate it with spicy mustard. Super yummy and very quick! Will make again. Oh, and I don't have a food processor so I chopped the cashews up first in a blender, took them out, then added everything else. It turned out nice. I served on top of chopped collard greens! I licked my bowl! :)
Going to try this for my first raw food potluck. I also have a 13 yr old who is wary of anything new and "raw." Hoping to turn her around with this salad. Very excited to find some new recipes and learn that going raw isn't boring!
Read 'a tablespoon of onion' as 'a whole onion'.... Let's just say after a few mouthfuls, our systems are clear!
We will definitely try it again with the correct quantities and let you know what we think then :-)
I'm a college student looking to eat more raw foods.. with a limited budget and materials, this recipe was perfect. I absolutely loved it. it was easy, and DELICIOUS. I thought I would have to go out of my way to go raw but this was easy to make on the go and I loved how much substance it had for so little calories. Thank you so much.
Just made this & it is so refreshing and YUM! I omitted the onions, but added a little curry & ginger. Deelish!
Thanks for all lthe great recipes!
This was so fabulous. I can't say enough about this. I am one of those people that can eat the same thing over and over and over. This is my go to meal for lunch or dinner. Thank you for this outstanding recipe...
Wow! I use this recipe several times a week now, with one variation or another. I use whatever I have on hand. I've been using lime juice this week because that's what I've got — Yum!
Made this tonight for a paleo couples dinner, introducing some non paleo friends to the goodness of healthy eating. Everyone loved this and asked what the dressing was, and couldn't believe it was just lemon juice. I didn't add the dill rather serve it with epicure dill topper to suit individual taste.... Fantastic!! Everyone raved about it. Thank you I am a fan and am now hooked!
Loved this recipe! I wish I could have saved half of it....it is enough for 2 servings to me. I will definitely make it again!
We made this today! Yum! I used cucumber slices as "Chips" and garnished with avocado slices and raisins! YUmmmmm
What if I do not have a food processor?
I can just chop up everything and mix together, but I wouldn't be able to add the cashews
I love all of your recipes. They're my go to recipes, which I do on a daily basis. Would you please add the serving size on these? It's probably a no brainier to most, but I'm a little slow. Thanks again for your wonderful gift!
I just whipped this up and it is delicious and SO simple. It will be great on a hot summer day. I like some of the suggestions for adding other things, but it can certainly stand on the basic ingredients listed! I am looking forward to making more of your savory dishes.
Just made this salad. I added a lil Garlic, pepper and some celery and stone ground mustard....I always add stuff tho
My non vegan husband loved it! So simple and tasty. When I served it on a thin layer of mixed greens with chopped avocado it made for a beautiful presentation and we ate it for our main (only) lunch meal. It looked and tasted fancy like I slaved over it for hours instead of only 2 minutes. I didn't have any dill so skipped it this time. Looking forward to making again with the dill.
I did it! and I added 1 baby zucchini as well and just half of the nuts, cuz I didn't have more at home! so I replaced that with 1/4 of a big avocado and it turned out absolutely amazing! Thanks for the fabulous ideas! only 10 more likes to 10,000!!!!!! yay!!
I was going to try and wait for lunch to make this, but my cashews are already soaked and I can't wait any longer, so looks like it will be breakfast. :) I have been following your site for a few months now and I'm very excited to see that you have an app as well...will be getting that today. Thank you for all of the wonderful recipes.
My kids love salads, but only boring ones. Cant wait to try this as i think theyll love it. My 3 picky eaters havent refused a single recipe from your site. Thanks again :)

Rusted Angel (Remastered & Reissued)
Oh you gotta love re-releases. They are commonly reissued w/ a half-assed re-mastering job, "bonus" tracks, and additional or new artwork. It's the same album you already have only it's slightly altered w/ little new things that you MUST HAVE according to the label. This little marketing trick has been in practice by the music industry for quite some time now, and quite frankly, I fucking despise it. In rare instances it can be a positive thing; if you've been meaning to get that "classic" but it's out of print and hard to come by, such as Suffocation's "Despise the Sun", then I am all for it. But don't turn it into a glitter circus by adding unnecessary or "use once" features just so you can sell the same album to the same person twice.
The latest on this re-mastering trend list is Darkane. "Rusted Angel" was their 1st album and it was w/ their original vocalist Larry Mackrory (you can hear him in a "duet" on Expanding Senses' "Chaos vs. Order"). Personally I prefer Sadow's vox because I think they have contributed to precisely defining Darkane's modern day sound. You pretty much know it's Darkane you're hearing w/ him, unless it's a new Scarve song. This band has pretty much stayed in the same lane throughout their discography; powerful thrash/death that is heavy and aggressive. They've gained in the technicality dept. but lost in nothing else. Those of you w/ nothing better to do than read my reviews know that I generally abhor thrash of any kind, especially Swedish. I mean come on, can you honestly say that Carnal Forge writes songs that sound different from each other? That drum beat, that timing…just kill me. But I've always thought Darkane was different. Their smooth, organized leads and tight, dense riffing that actually leads in more of a death style than sloppy fucking thrash, along w/some insane technical moments on their last 2 efforts, and just plain heavy chord employment gets multiple spins out of me. If you have "Rusted Angel" already than you know that Darkane has stuck to their guns, and gotten better in the process.
This album has been remastered over a mastering job that sounded good to start with. I can hear a little difference but nothing that means "to buy or not to buy". The remastering was completely unnecessary. What, next year are we going to have "Expanding Senses" remastered? One thing I will note though is the quality of the 2 live tracks. Great sound and superb band unison, which is something that comes to be expected from this band today.
I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're going to buy this album, do it because Darkane is and always has been a good band. Not because of the dress up bullshit. You might listen to the live tracks once or twice, and you may or may not notice a difference in production quality. If you've already got the original one, save your money for the next Darkane disc.

Comments about Camelbak Pit Boss 100 oz. Hydration Pack:
I got the Camelbak Scorpion for Christmas and it's great for inbounds resort skiing but that's it. I bought the Tycoon for more of everything else. Unfortunately it's not big enough nor does it have all the little pockets and zips that I'm used to in other Camelbak products like the Mule. It's not really perfect for carrying skis. The Pit Boss, however is what I should have bought in the first place. It's sturdy, adjustable, and has all sorts of pockets to put little items in. The added plus is that it makes a good all around day or travel pack. Highly recommended.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I bought the pack to use on a Utah ski trip. It was a great pack. The large fluid and storage capacities were great for enough liquid to keep me hydrated through the day and enough storage for layers that went on and came off as the temp changed. The pack is large so getting on the lift is not as easy as some, but that is to be expected. Also, the chest buckle just seems like something that might fail over time, but worked fine on this trip. Overall a great high-capacity pack that I plan to use for both skiing and hiking.

The rug is very nice, but it is much darker than the picture. The rug is darker ivory and the swirls are brown.
With all due respect to everyone who posted their reviews: this color can only be described as dingy dirt. It is NOT creamy, it is not beige, it is dingy. The design is of a tightly wowen very dark tan color which is not bad, but the " cream" portion of the rug is not correct at all. please be careful when bying. The quality of the rug is good, well made. No odor at all. Not heavy, corners well finished and straight. Would have been one gorgeous rug if it didn't look like it was time to clean it. " O" gave me a hard time returning it because it was " subjective" and buyers remorce. Apparently if they sent a blue one that would be an error. For that reason: please make sure you are aware of the color discrepancy.
Overall, we are happy with the product, but a final judgement will be reserved after one year of use. Sure it looks good today, we shall see after one year or more.
This is a really pretty rug. It's very plush and comfy to lay on. It also does not shed at all! Looks really pretty with our ivory leather, and then I can use seasonal colors to accent the room!
Color was accurate and the rug is soft and feels good under your feet.
The carpet came wrapped in a tight plastic rap. I unwrapped it and found the rug to be exactly what I saw on my computer. My wife and I are very happy with the rug. It completes the look we were expecting. I will be looking for our next rug to purchase.
Love this rug in my livingroom. It is plush and pretty. Just what I wanted!
I love this rug. It looks exactly like it shows in the picture. The colors are perfect. The texture is very soft. It flattened out very easily and looks great in my living room!
This rug is very soft to the touch and it looks so rich. It added such an elegant feel to my bedroom where I have the runner and this rug. This rug is a dark dream it isn't like an off white. It's like a dark beige but very beautiful! Very well made have had any problems with this rug yet and I think I bought it way back in July.
Great rug it is so soft to the feet and doesn't shed. I have gotten a lot of compliments on this rug.

Thread: Front Suspension ugpgrades
Front Suspension ugpgrades
Aloha everyone!!
I've got a 2001 5.3l 4wd ext cab. My truck was previously a work truck and the suspension has been abused. I'm looking to upgrade some parts but I'm not sure what is available for my truck. I want to keep the truck at stock height. I'm running aftermarket rims with bigger tires. I have already replaced both front wheel bearings. Upgraded brakes and rotors.
List of what I want to change:
Both upper and lower ball joints
Energy suspension sway bar bushings
Pitman arm and idler
Tie rod ends (these are currently bad)
Possible upper control arm bushings (energy suspension)
The only brand that I have found that offers a beefier setup is "Cognito" but they don't offer anything for my model truck, only for the "HD" models. Can anyone recommend another brand/company?
I'll jump on Summit Racing site and browse. I've found some dirt cheap parts on Ebay but I'm hesitant off China made products.
- - - Updated - - -
No responses?
I'll just get some Moog **** then.2000 Silverado 5.3L Z71 4x4: K&N air filter:great:
07-31-2013, 07:53 PM #2Go with Moog, you definately want to avoid the Chineese knock off parts.
07-31-2013, 09:03 PM #3As far as bushings go, poly or bust. Moog is good if you can verify that it IS us made. I've seen a lot lately that are not. :( they're slacking a bit. Just about performance anything will be an improvement.
08-01-2013, 10:50 AM #4Why are parts so expensive? Let me rephrase that, "Why am I such a cheap bastard?"
Change in budget, guess I'll just do my tie rod ends and maybe the pitman/idler arm.
08-01-2013, 03:50 PM #6your vehicle even this old has a good suspension since you have torsion bars. with new shocks [bilsteins] and the bad tie rods replaced along with the idler/pitman arm if needed you should be good.
adjust the torsion bars so the front CV joints are straight. check for same height on each side , measure front fender well opening to the level ground for approx the same amount.
when you replace the tie rods use some fishing line from rear wheels to front wheels with the steering wheel straight. adjust so that the front wheels are 1/8 in toed in. this will get you very close. then if needed you can get alignment.
using a hand powered grease gun use lithium based grease and pump only enough grease to swell the grease boot slightly. do this 2x / year.
08-03-2013, 01:32 PM #10when the height is changed after all your part replacing then you get the alignment. that way it will be correct. if the vehicle has sagged then the alignment will be off or if you adjust height after alignment it will be off.
make sure the front cv joints are straight and try to get the height the same on each side 1/4 inch .
you must be on level ground . you have to bounce the front end a few times then check height .

Calling it "a stark wake-up call to everyone involved in college sports," the National Collegiate Athletic Association announced a $60 million fine against Penn State University on Monday and stripped 14 seasons of football victories from the late head coach Joe Paterno.
NCAA President Mark Emmert said the unprecedented fine will be paid over five years to fund programs that serve the victims of child sexual abuse. The NCAA also banned Penn State from postseason play for four years and took away 20 football scholarships a year for four seasons, he said.
The sanctions are part of the continued fallout from the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted in late June of 45 of the 48 counts he faced involving 10 young victims. They're a blow to one of college football's traditional powers, a two-time national champion.
"No price the NCAA can levy will repair the grievous damage inflicted by Jerry Sandusky on his victims," Emmert said. "However, we can make clear that the culture, actions and inactions that allowed them to be victimized will not be tolerated in collegiate athletics."
Penn State avoided the NCAA's "death penalty," a suspension from play of a year or more. But Ed Ray, the chairman of the NCAA's executive committee, said the sanctions laid on the school "should serve as a stark wake-up call to everyone in college sports."
Paterno, who coached at Penn State for 46 years, was fired after Sandusky's arrest in November. Graham Spanier, the school's president, was also let go. Two other former university officials face criminal charges in the Sandusky scandal.
The Big Ten Conference also acted Monday, ruling that Penn State is ineligible for its conference title football game and that the Nittany Lions' share of bowl revenues for the next four seasons -- about $13 million -- will be donated to charities that "protect children."
The NCAA action follows an independent investigation led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, whose report held Paterno and other top Penn State officials responsible for failing to stop the abuse beginning in 1998. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said the university has accepted the decision and will not appeal.
"I think, for the whole university, what this calls upon us to do is to look at our whole value culture, our whole value set, our value base," Erickson told CNN. The school will have to ask itself "what are the most important things in terms of a university, our mission, our educational mission, educational excellence in all of its dimensions," he said.
"Those conversations are going to go on from the top on down, from the board to my administration to the leadership of all of our various units, and drive those conversations down," he said.
Paterno had been the all-time leader in major college football victories for a coach, with 409 wins. The NCAA's decision strikes 111 of those from his record, beginning in 1998 -- a move that posthumously bumps him from the top of the list.
Paterno's family sharply objected to Freeh's findings and criticized the NCAA for following the report's conclusions.
"The sanctions announced by the NCAA today defame the legacy and contributions of a great coach and educator without any input from our family or those who knew him best," his family said in a statement released Monday.
But one prominent advocate for sexual abuse victims objected to the NCAA's decision to spare Penn State from suspension. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests said the death penalty would have been "the most effective deterrent to current and future cover-ups."
"Vacating wins is a hollow punishment that will be forgotten by the time the next season begins," the group said. "Bans from bowl games have been issued in the past because players traded championship rings for tattoos. This is not a punishment that is equal to the horrific crimes that happened at Penn State."
SNAP urged parents and and "all who care about kids to remain vigilant" about Penn State's compliance, warning, "What we've learned from decades of similar scandals in churches is that agreements like this lack real follow-up."
Emmert defended the punishment in a CNN interview Monday night, saying the sanctions will deliver $60 million to aid sex abuse victims.
"That's 100 times greater than any fine ever levied in the history of the NCAA," he said. "We have imposed significant penalties on a competitive end of the football program. The university has been very, very responsive in the openness of providing all of the information about this, and so we feel very comfortable where we are with these penalties."
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, meanwhile, called on Penn State to offer assurances "that no taxpayer dollars will be used to pay the $60 million fine imposed on the university today." University spokesman David La Torre told CNN on Monday that school will not use tax or tuition dollars to pay the fine.
A recent university study said the football program had a $161.5 million impact on Pennsylvania in 2009. The football team made a $53.2 million profit in 2010, according to CNN Money. The school made $24 million more through general merchandise sales.
"One of the grave dangers stemming from our love of sports is that the sports themselves can become too big to fail, indeed, too big to even challenge," Emmert said. "The result can be an erosion of academic values that are replaced by the value of hero worship and winning at all cost."
The postseason ban, which is also unprecedented, could damage the school's prestige in the eyes of potential recruits and will affect the program's bottom line through the loss of potential millions from the conference title and bowl games. The penalties also deal an emotional blow to the Penn State community, one fan said.
"By essentially taking away the main pillar of the university, you are almost pulling the university down," former student Ujas Patel told CNN. He complained of media coverage that fails to point out the good that Paterno, known affectionately by fans as "JoePa," achieved through requiring his players to also succeed academically.
"Anybody who's gone to Penn State, that's something that really is going to bother people," he said.
Former Penn State running back Matt Hahn said that football will return to the school, "but I think that there are some things that are bigger priorities than that right now."

Pet Emergency!

It happens to pet owners every day: Seemingly out of nowhere, a beloved animal comes down with a violent sickness or a traumatic injury and needs treatment at an emergency clinic.
Many pet owners find themselves wondering if the pet's condition warrants a trip to the veterinary ER. Doctors' answers are that if you have to ask, it's time to go.
"Any concern is considered an emergency," says Cynthia McCauley, DVM, of Animal Emergency Center of West Houston, Houston, Texas.
"We can't physically see the patient through the phone, and oftentimes, pet owners who are trying to describe something that's going on can't find the right words. They might say a pet is 'twitching.' That could be perfectly normal, but it could also be a seizure."
The first step is to call the emergency clinic to give staff a heads-up as to what's going on with the pet and when to expect your visit. The next is to get the animal to the clinic, and that's not always a simple proposition.
Veterinarians caution that pet owners should assume their animal might bite or scratch in an emergency situation, even if the pet has never been aggressive before.
"If a pet is injured or seriously ill and experiencing pain, sometimes it will be very sensitive," says Sally Ryan, DVM, of Affiliated Emergency Service, Eden Prairie, Minn. "You should remind yourself that their behavior might be different than normal because of that."
She recommends muzzling a pet that might be in pain before trying to transport it, either with an actual muzzle or by using a scarf, belt, tie, or other object tied around the animal's snout to prevent it from biting. Basket muzzles are the best choice because they allow the pet to open its mouth and breathe or pant without allowing it to bite.
"If they're having breathing problems, you don't want to muzzle," Ryan says. "If they're not conscious, you wouldn't need to muzzle either. You have to use your best judgment."
She also recommends immobilizing the pet as much as possible, ideally, by enveloping the animal in a large blanket. That said, she does not recommend trying to splint an obviously injured leg, as one might with a human patient.
"If you apply a splint without using pain medication, it's going to cause more pain for the animal than just to bring it to the emergency hospital without it," Ryan says. "You might wrap a towel around bleeding to stabilize that, but you don't want to incur more pain by trying to immobilize a limb."
McCauley asks pet owners to try and get a second person in the car, to watch the animal on the way to the emergency room. "Sometimes a pet will vomit based on pain," she says. The muzzle should be removed immediately if your pet appears to be vomiting. "They could inhale that and get it into their lungs," particularly if they're muzzled and not being observed. Don't waste too much time trying to find a second person, though, since time is of the essence.
The other thing to do before heading to the emergency clinic is to gather any medications your pet is taking, or compile a list of them, along with any relevant medical history. Ideally, these items should be prepared and ready before the emergency ever occurs.Because emergency veterinarians won't know the pet the way its regular veterinarian does, it's helpful for them to have an idea of the pet's medical history before deciding on a medication or course of treatment.
"Many times, clients can't remember the names of medications, how much they're giving, or why they're giving them," says McCauley. "We don't have their history. We've never seen their pet before. A lot of that information can be helpful to us, especially if the pet has a long-term medical condition or chronic illness." She recommends that pet owners request a copy of the written medical record to include physical exam findings, test results, treatments performed, and medications prescribed. "We love for clients to come in with their binders. It's incredibly helpful," McCauley adds.
Ryan agrees. "Ideally, you would bring current medications with you, and medical records are important if the patient is being referred from a primary care veterinarian," she says. "Any information you have about your pet—anything about chronic problems or ongoing medical care—is always helpful for emergency veterinarians."
What's in Your Medical Emergency Kit?Most people keep emergency medical kits in their houses for people—things like bandages, rubbing alcohol, and eye wash can be helpful in a medical emergency while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
Most people don't have the same sort of kit for their pets, but veterinarians say that it's a good idea to keep some supplies at home, just in case.
Ryan and other veterinarians recommend keeping several items on hand:
Veterinarians warn that giving human medication, even aspirin, to a pet can be very dangerous, and say owners that are far better advised to visit with their veterinarian or an emergency veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and prescription.

Makes life a lot easier and takes the frustration out of smoothing slots. Can't imagine how anyone would break these, they are like any abrasive type tool, let it do the work for you and don't force it.
When using their nut files for the smaller strings I kept getting a ping sound from a burr I just couldn't get rid of in the nut. This abrasive cord does an excellent job of cleaning out the slots. Highly recommended when slotting a bridge too.
Really great item, smooths out nut and saddle slots, with little to no pressure, so the strings can ride over the surface smoothly. Follow with some guitar grease to eliminate those pesky tuning hiccups
This product works well for me. It does a good job of smoothing nuts and anything else. Great invention! A must have product.
-Great for filing/radius-ing T.O.M. Saddles. -Works on titanium!!! -Not much strength needed, only patience, and the cord won't break. Overall super useful because they work on titanium... :)
There is nothing better to finish the polishing of nut slots in the world... Just enough grit to slowing bring the slot to perfection..
This is the best for smoothing nut slots! I read that some other reviewers have had problems with the cord breaking... The trick is to let the cord do the work for you. There is no need to put too much tension on the cord for it to do it's job!
Like others, I find these pretty useless for polishing nuts and saddle slots, but as I'm a fan of really heavy strings (.070"-.080" on the 6th), I'm often finding that the string holes in tuner posts are just a TOUCH too small. These are the perfect way to open them up a bit, and keep them polished and perfect.
An inexpensive way to deal with nuts & saddles
Useful for a few seconds, it breaks very quickly.

Jenny Randolph Assistant Coach
2011-12 Men's Cross Country Coaches |
PHONE: (615) 966-5867 | EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com |
Jenny Randolph begins her second year on the Lipscomb cross country and track and field coaching staff. While it's only her second year coaching, she is no stranger to the school or the running program and continues to appreciate the success and progress that the program is enjoying.
In her first year in a coaching role, Randolph helped lead the Lady Bisons to their first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference Cross Country Championship title in school history.
Randolph moved to Nashville in 2007 to begin her undergraduate studies and collegiate running career at Lipscomb University. She was a captain of both the cross country and track and field teams beginning her sophomore year and maintained that role until her graduation in 2011.
Athletically, Randolph enjoyed success under head coach Bill Taylor, running on the varsity squad in cross country every season and taking 2:13 off her high school 5K personal record. She broke the school record in the indoor mile run in 2009 and, in the same year, was a member of the school record-breaking 4x1500 relay team in the outdoor season. Randolph was an A-Sun indoor conference qualifier in the mile and the distance medley relay in 2008, the 3000m run and the mile in 2009, and the 5K in 2010. She was an A-Sun outdoor conference qualifier in the 5K in 2010 and the 10K in 2011.
Her teammates' votes awarded her honors at the end of each season throughout her four years on the team including the "Total Commitment", "For the Team," and "Fightin' Bison," awards.
A member of the Spiritual Direction Team, Randolph participated in a team mission trip to Los Angeles, Calif., in 2010 and served as secondary leader on team mission trips to Belize in 2011 and to Haiti in 2012.
Randolph was one of four senior athletes at Lipscomb to earn the President's Scholar Award, given by the Atlantic Sun Conference to student-athletes who have finished their final year of eligibility, maintained a cumulative 3.8 or above GPA, and completed at least 48 credit hours. She earned All-Conference academic honors every semester.
Randolph holds USATF Level 1 coaching certification. She graduated from Bearden High School in Knoxville, Tenn. in 2007 and in 2011 graduated magna cum laude from Lipscomb with a B.S. in biology. She plans to finish her Master's degree in education in the coming year.

The SpaceX Dragon capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station. Now, it heads back to earth.
By Matthew Shaer / May 30, 2012
The SpaceX Dragon capsule became the first commercial vessel in history to dock with the International Space Station last Thursday. Now, after approximately a week in orbit, the Dragon will return to earth. According to reps for SpaceX, a private company headquartered in California, the Dragon will detach from the International Space Station this Thursday morning and land a few hours later somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
