What kids learn in Sunday School
This is one of those e-mails where, if I'm going to take the considerable time it will require to answer it, more than one person should benefit. So, rather than reply directly to the correspondent, I think the blog is a better venue for this sort of information. A lot of what "AS" has to say below is the same disinformation I was handed as a young person growing up in a fundamentalist, literalist church. At least two items are pretty much exactly what I was told. And so I feel compelled to respond. First of all, nothing below matters in the least unless a god exists. If no god exists, then there was no sacrifice. If no god exists, there was no deity who walked among us. If no god exists, the Bible is not divinely inspired. And so on. In the same way it makes no sense to say "Fairies make the flowers bloom, and if you doubt me, I have but to show you a blooming flower," it makes no sense to say "God is responsible for X, and if you doubt me, I have but to show you X." And X can be filled in with "coming to earth as a man," or "inspiring the Bible," or "creating the universe," or whatever your heart desires. Whatever you think god has done, until you demonstrate a god actually exists, you haven't made your point. That being said, a lot of the refutation below becomes moot. BUT, it may have significance to theists who care about whether or not the church is lying to them, or whether or not what they believe and promote is even likely to be true. And so, I put myself through the pointless paces below because it's possible someone, somewhere might benefit. First of all the sacrifice of Jesus wasn't for God himself, it was for His Creation. because God is a holy and righteous God He CANNOT look upon sin, because he gave His Creation free will, we've ALL chosen to sin, and because of that we can't be in God's presence. If we've accepted Jesus Christ God CAN then and ONLY then look at us as sanctified, and...

No coffee pot in room. no fridge that could be used . fridge was stocked with very expensive items. they tried to charge us for the bar that we had taken away from the beginning of our stay . and at the end of the trip they authorized the amount of our stay twicewhich caused my debit card to go negative, I will never stay there again.
Room 6 out of 5 stars for 2 star price!
A bit far from Strip, but great for golf and shops
I really hated that it took me 15 minutes to reach my room from the reception. Which is a long way if you need a mornign coffee and the room as no such facility. Also no such thing as fresh air in the room.
nice clean room, good internet connection
staff was not so cooperative. mini-bar was certainly an experience! if you lift more than 30" anything you will be charged, plus you cannot add something inside.
Great rooms but no space in the fridge
No carts in the parking garage
Very clean and well kept, luxurious rooms. Very soundproof, we were never disturbed by other guests. Staff were very friendly.
There was no hot water available in the afternoon or evenings in our room. Location is too far from the strip and the shuttles only run every 2 hours with limited seating. We were charged a mandatory daily "resort fee" of $29 for use of the amenities which we never had a chance to use anyway since we were there for a conference, apparently many of the hotels in Vegas do this but unfair in my opinion nonetheless. Despite the "resort fee', you still have to pay $15 a day for in-room internet access, although there was free WiFi in the hotel lobby. As in many other Vegas hotels, people smoke freely in the casino and the stench wafts out into the adjacent dining areas. Nice hotel but I wouldn't stay there again.
Great rooms Everything in one place great staff very clean
Long way out from the strip
bed too soft
luxurious, low price during week days, good restaurants.
rooms far away from lobby, was injured due hotel negligence.
Nice poole area
Limited facilities, long waiting lines to be served
Nice rooms, very nice place.
Extremely over priced items in mini bar; rip off. I mean come on, $5.00 for a candy bar?
Cleanliness, staff conduct
someone opened our door in the middle of the night and we never did get a satisfactory answer as to how this happened.
Virginia from room service made our honeymoon even more special!
I really wish you had a honeymoon package. No one at the front desk or reservations could tell us if you did or not.
Nice and sedate. Quiet and calm for a casino. The steakhouse on the premises was excellent. Pool was very nice and it was perfectly landscaped. A very attractive place.
Pretty expensive. Also, in the middle of nowhere. I had to rent a car to get anywhere. Getting to/from the airport was a problem. If you miss the shuttle, you're in for a 50 dollar cab ride.
Love the pool area, choice of restaurants, and things For kids to do.
Excellent resort
room, pool, eating options, casino, entire staff
far from strip
I liked the resort, that's why we booked there, to enjoy the pool.
The pool was closed both days we were there, they did not give use any thing instead, like a reduced resort fee or any thing, and they charged me x2 for the room and can't tell me why. So very disappointed, we went to get away and now need to spend extra time trying to figure it all out, not happy:(
over all wonderful, i will stay there for now on
The room was very luxurious big and spacious. A nice peaceful view of the mountains, with sunsets and sunrises. Huge soak tub and steam showers
The pool was cold, there was a $100 a day incidental deposit which wasn't stated in the beginning.
Room tower was well removed from the casino. Rooms are smoke free Free valet parking is good.
Received a coupon for a discount on dinner but only if you spend more than $X. Couldn't use it. "resort" fee is ridiculous. I stayed one night, got a great room rate but got hit with an extra $30 resort fee. 11am check out is too early
The resort was clean the pool was nice beds were comfortable
They were not accomadating they had a hidden fee of 25.00 a day for hotel Internet and so on I would not recommend this place to my friends or family
Everthing very nice place. Very good service , excellent morale.
The smoke
The shuttles from the airport was excellent, the beds were very comfortable. Restraurants were very good.
Casino was tight did not let you play took money every day I was there. Restaruants waits were long.
Staff was very professional and courteous!
Some extra charges were over the top. Containers were an extra charge which was shocking.

Arrive at any time.
Approximate Distance: 400km Estimated Travel Time: 8 hrs Welcome to big game country! The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Search for lion, elephant, rhino and many other animals in one of Africa's greatest wildlife areas on your full-day game drive in our overland truck. Day 2 we will stay inside the Kruger National Park and on Day 3 just outside the park (around 120km). We will leave Johannesburg early morning (around 7am) in order to be inside the Kruger National Park in the afternoon to be able to do our first game drive in our overland truck. We will pitch our tents in one of the campsites inside the Kruger National Park tonight. Enjoy an optional night game drive in an open safari vehicle. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld (low-lying bush land), this national park of nearly 2 million hectares. Kruger National Park is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies. Notably as well is its mixed biological, historical and archaeological significance. The Kruger National Park is truly the flagship of the South African National Parks, and it is home to a huge array of plants and animals. With over 145 species of mammals, it is possible to see all the classical African big game, including elephant, black and white rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, warthog and many antelope species. Large carnivores include lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyena. There are also many smaller mammals of equally enticing species. Some of the bird life here cannot be found elsewhere is South Africa, as 507 species reside in the park. Hornbills, Starlings, Vultures, Rollers, Bee-eaters and Shrikes typify the ubiquitous avi-fauna, and birders can look forward to pursuing the big 6 (Saddle-billed Stork, Kori Bustard, Martial Eagle, Lappet-faced Vulture, Pel's Fishing Owl and Ground Hornbill). Eagles are common: Bateleur, Martial, Black-breasted Snake, Brown Snake, African Hawk, African Fish and Tawny are all regularly seen, and in summer: Wahlberg's, Steppe, Lesser Spotted. The Park's numerous water points make for excellent birding, while the rest camps and picnic sites are exceptionally rewarding for birders. The interaction between man and bush is evident in the Kruger National Park, from the bushman rock paintings to the majestic archaeological sites like Thulamela and Masorini. This is also regarded and preserved as a treasure, as they represent the cultures, people, and events that played a big role in the history of the Kruger National Park. With Kruger being so vast it naturally has a tremendous botanic diversity. Simplistically the park can be divided into 16 macro eco-zones. The northern half of the park, north of the Olifants River is predominantly mopane veld, while south of the Olifants the ecozones are thornveld. There are 336 tree species in the park. On 26 March, 1898, South African President Paul Kruger signed a proclamation for the founding of a government game park in the Eastern Transvaal, between Crocodile and the Sabie Rivers. Day 3 Enjoy a full day game-driving in our overland truck. You will also have the option to do game-driving in one of the open safari vehicles. Tonight we stay just outside the Kruger National Park, next to Manyeleti Game Reserve. The name Manyeleti, means 'Place of the Stars' in the local Shangaan language and guests have the opportunity to view the magnificent Southern Constellation. Manyeleti is situated away from the mainstream tourist areas and guests can experience the tranquility of the African Bush in absolute seclusion. In the late afternoon/early evening relax around the pool, sit around the campfire and enjoy your sundowner drink, followed by a traditional meal and traditional dancing by the villagers. Sleep tight and listen to the haunting sounds of the African night. The 23,000 hectare Manyeleti Game Reserve is situated between the Timbavati Private Reserve, the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. With no fences separating Manyeleti from Kruger and the neighbouring reserves, a huge variety of wildlife roams freely over more than 2 million hectares of African bush. Game drives in open vehicles (optional) could bring you into close contact with the Big 5 (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) for an unforgettable safari experience. The Manyeleti Game Reserve is managed by the Mnisi tribe who have been in the area for many generations. The Mnisi are committed to retaining the integrity of the game reserve and ensuring that the benefits of tourism in the reserve are delivered to the surrounding communities. In the late morning of the following day (Day 4) we will visit and interact with the local community of the Planeterra volunteer program in the Shalati village. Project Shalati Pre-school Over 50 children, under the age of 8, attend the pre-school of Shalati. The school has one teacher, and two teacher's helpers that organize activities for the children, as well as provide them with two meals each day. Shalati provides support to the children and prepares them for the transition into primary school. Why is this project needed? In the South African community of Shalati there are many single parent families and a vast number of orphaned children, often cared for by their grandparents. This is due in part to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Many children do not begin school until the age of eight, and receive no formal education and limited support during their early formative years. The Shalati Pre-School aims to provide children with the opportunity to begin their education, and become involved in organized activities. More information about the community project Shalati Lodge we are staying at: Shalati Bush Camp is unique, offering an intimate and truly memorable bush and wildlife experience combined with the culture of local Shangaan population, of Africa and its people today. At Shalati we understand the impact that tourism have on the environment and strive to create an interactive experience that is affordable and unforgettable. Shalati is at the forefront of responsible tourism offering the guests a rare insight into the fragile ecosystems of the Big 5 areas as well as the communities on the borders of these great National Parks. We are committed to the sustainable upliftment of the communities around Shalati and the long term benefits that this will bring, to these people. Only people from the community are being employed at Shalati. All these people have never previously worked in the hospitality industry nor have they studied for a Hotel & Catering Diploma. Shalati has an extensive training program incorporating day-to-day and hands-on training. The cooks at Shalati were not able to cook or bake for themselves, not to mention guests. They are now able to bake and cook for many guests at the same time. A huge achievement! All the areas of hotel management are being addressed and individual training for housekeeping, cleaning, laundry, stock management etc is undertaken on a daily basis. Through the salaries that these few people earn, the lives of many in the communities are touched in a positive way. Once you enter the gates of Shalati you will become part of a community – a community that cares, that gives and join hands in strengthening our Rainbow Nation.
Day 4 Polokwane Approximate Distance: 280km Estimated Travel Time: 6 hrs Head for Polokwane, the provincial capital of Limpopo. Polokwane was founded in 1886 by Voortrekkers and is now a busy centre serving the surrounding agricultural and mining communities. We overnight at Polokwane Game Reserve. The Reserve is characterised by open savannah and almost entirely dominated by themed grass with the odd smattering of acacia trees. Since its proclamation in the early 70s the Polokwane Game Reserve has established itself as one of the leading municipal conservation projects in South Africa. It supports viable populations of rare game species including Tsessebe, Sable Antelope and the White Rhino. Go and explore the park on foot by yourself and unwind after a long day's driving or sip a sundowner while listening to the wild sounds of Africa. Day 5 Palapye Approximate Distance: 400km Estimated Travel Time: 8 hrs Today we will cross the border from South Africa to Botswana. The name of the border posts are Groblersbrug on the South African side and the Martin's Drift border post on the Namibian. Botswana visas is not available at the border, so please make very sure if you do need a visa before arrival. See our visa section for further information. Remember that visas are your own responsibility; please double check with your agent if you will require a visa for Botswana. The currency in Botswana is Botswana Pula (BWP.)You will be able to change your let over ZAR and other foreign currencies tomorrow. Your campsite tonight will take USD or ZAR. Today we cross into Botswana, so have your passports ready, heading north to Palapye. A growing town on the Gaborone-Francistown road, Palapye was originally called Phalatswe (meaning 'Many Impalas' in Sekgalagadi).
Approximate Distance: 400km Estimated Travel Time: 8 hrs Continue north towards the village of Nata, situated on the edge of the impressive Makgadikgadi Pans - remnants of Africa's largest inland sea. As the largest expanse of 'nothingness' on earth, the pans have an area the size of Switzerland, and are clearly visible from outer-space. What is known today as the Makgadikgadi Pans is only a relic of what used to be one of the biggest inland lakes Africa has ever seen - Lake Makgadikgadi. The Makgadikgadi Pan consists of two main pans, Namely Ntwetwe and Sowa pan, both of which are surrounded by myriad smaller pans. Although it is totally devoid of any water, people used to live there before it was declared state land. Villagers where allowed to graze their livestock inside the boundaries during dry season. A visit to the pans is limited due to the weather and the water on the pans. We stay 50km north of the pans at Elephant Sands. Go on an optional game walk in the conservation area of the state forests. This is a hunting area and all of the "big 5's" are present. It is well known for the Elephants that roam the area.
Approximate Distance: 300 km Estimated Travel Time: 5 hrs Today we journey to the area of Chobe National Park, home to the largest elephant population in Southern Africa. The best way to appreciate one of Botswana's national parks and its thousands of resident elephants, crocodiles, and hippos, is on an optional sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River. You may also choose to embark on a game drive in search of lions, antelope, and of course elephants. Kasane is situated on the banks of the Chobe River, near its mouth. This is where the Chobe and Zambezi rivers meet, creating a border area of four countries – Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and is situated along the Chobe River. It has one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in Africa and one of the world's last remaining sizeable wilderness areas. By size, this is the third largest park (11,000 sq km) of the country, though it is definitely the most diverse and spectacular. The park is probably best known for its spectacular elephant population: with over 120,000 it has the highest elephant concentration of Africa. Moreover, most of them are probably part of the largest continuous surviving elephant population on Earth. The elephant population seems to have solidly built up since 1990, from the few initial thousands. By chance, they have not been affected by the massive illicit exploitation of the 1970's and 1980's. Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in size of all known elephant species. Yet they are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks. Damage caused by the high numbers of elephants is rife in some areas. In fact, concentration is so high throughout Chobe that culls have been considered, but are too controversial and have thus far been rejected. During the dry season, these elephants sojourn in Chobe River and the Linyanti River areas. During the rain season, they make a 200 km migration to the south-east region of the park. Their distribution zone however outreaches the park and spreads to north-western Zimbabw
Approximate Distance: 100 km Estimated Travel Time: 3 hrs (depending on ferry crossing) Today we will cross the border from Botswana to Zambia. The name of the border posts are Kazungula border post on both sides. Some nationalities do require a visa for Zambia. See our visa section for further information. Remember that visas are your own responsibility; please double check with your agent if you will require a visa for Zambia. The currency in Zambia is Zambian Kwacha(ZWK.)You will be able to change your left over BWP in Livingstone town. Most establishments, activities etc. do accept USD for payment. Cross the Zambezi River by ferry to enter into Zambia and continue to Livingstone. We will spend the last days of our tour here, a great base to see both natural wonders and take part in some exciting activities. Get up close (and wet from the spray) while awing at the immense Victoria Falls, raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, and for the more adventurous, bungee jump with the Victoria Falls in view. David Livingstone was born on March 19, 1813 in the village of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. He first studied Greek, medicine, and theology at the University of Glasgow and while working in London, joined the London Missionary Society became a minister. He originally planned to gain access to China through his medical knowledge. The Opium Wars, which were raging at this stage with no signs of peace on the horizon, forced Livingstone to consider other options. From 1840 he worked in Bechuanaland (present-day Botswana), and in the period 1852–56, he explored the African interior, and was the first European to see the Mosi-oa-Tunya waterfall, which he renamed Victoria Falls after his monarch, Queen Victoria.
Depart at any time.

How is the effect from the picture at this link called? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y4_2XlnWz28/TTZLasPj_DI/AAAAAAAAAtg/oxq-z5sxPM4/S1600-R/banner%2Bgrey%2Bmap%2Bgrey.png (I've seen it lately a lot in web design – the effect which gives to a picture that kind of vintage + b&w + sepia + blurred effect and looks so nice when you put white text over it).
Bit of an odd one. There's all sorts of effects that cover all of those categories (vintage, b&w, sepia). In actual fact, the background image on that banner has simply been inverted, and nothing else really.
Maybe this one indeed is only inverted, but I meant the same style that is used in these sites, for instance presented at this address: http://www.bestpsdfreebies.com/10-great-examples-of-blurred-backgrounds-in-web-design/
Is this only the blur effect in the backgrounds? or blur combined with something else?
Yes, blur. They could be also touched a little bit, maybe contrast, levels, curves, but nothing more.
Thanks so much!

Here Come The ABCs - DVD
Raising three kids not to be dependent on television is more than a little challenging! We stay really active with our kids, but sometimes they just have to be able to occupy themselves, and lets face it...setting the 2-year old loose with a fistful of crayons usually ends in disaster. Thank you, They Might Be Giants, for giving us something educational and fun that doesn't suck for adults to listen to! (Over and over and over and over and....) Steve's been a fan of TMBG for a long time, and routinely hums "The Sun Is A Mass..." while milling about the house while he's supposed to be cleaning. Now he can share one of his favorite bands for over 10 years with his kids...and we don't feel like we're letting crappy cartoons babysit the kids!

IAQ Tools for Schools
IAQ Reference Guide
Appendix G - Radon
Background Information
EPA and other major national and international scientific organizations have concluded that radon is a human carcinogen and a serious public health risk. An individual's risk of developing lung cancer from radon increases with the level of radon, the duration of exposure, and the individual's smoking habits. EPA estimates that 7,000 to 30,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year are attributed to radon.
Because many people spend much of their time at home, the home is likely to be the most significant source of radon exposure. For most school children and staff, the second largest contributor to their radon exposure is likely to be their school. As a result, EPA recommends that homes and school buildings be tested for radon.
Results from a National Survey of Radon Levels in Schools
A nationwide survey of radon levels in schools estimates that 19.3 percent of U.S. schools, nearly one in five, have at least one frequently occupied ground-contact room with short-term radon levels at or above the action level of 4 pCi/L (picocurie per Liter) -- the level at which EPA recommends mitigation. Approximately 73 percent of these schools will have only five or fewer schoolrooms with radon levels above the action level. The other 27 percent will have six or more such schoolrooms. If your building has a radon problem, it is unlikely that every room in your school will have an elevated radon level. However, testing all frequently occupied rooms that have contact with the ground is necessary to identify schoolrooms with elevated radon levels.
Guidance for Radon Testing
EPA's document, Radon Measurement in Schools – Revised Edition (EPA 402-R-92-014), provides guidance on planning, implementing, and evaluating a radon testing program for a school - www.epa.gov/radon/pdfs/radon_measurement_in_schools.pdf.
To assist schools with testing, helpful aids, such as a checklist of the testing procedure, are included in the document. Before initiating radon testing in your school however, contact your state Radon Office (see Appendix L: "Resources") for information on any state requirements concerning radon testing or for a copy of the document. Check www.epa.gov/iaq/schools/pubs.html for documents on radon in schools.
To reduce the health risk associated with radon, EPA recommends that officials test every school for elevated radon levels. Because the entry and movement of radon in buildings is difficult to predict, officials should test all frequently occupied schoolrooms that are in contact with the ground. If testing identifies schoolrooms with radon levels of 4 pCi/L or greater, officials should reduce the radon levels using an appropriate mitigation strategy.
Guidance for Radon Mitigation
If you identify a radon problem in your school, EPA developed guidance on radon mitigation entitled Reducing Radon in Schools – A Team Approach (EPA 402-R-94-008) that describes the recommended approach to radon mitigation in schools and provides an overview of the mitigation process to the IAQ Coordinator.
Guidance for Radon Prevention in Renovations and New Buildings
EPA's document entitled Radon Prevention in Design and Construction of Schools and Other Large Buildings (EPA 625R-92-016) provides guidance for incorporating radon resistant and/or easy-to-mitigate features into the design of a new school building including design recommendations for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. This guidance is useful to school personnel (e.g., school business officials) and architects involved with the new school construction, see www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/index.html#index5
Training for Testing and Mitigation
To develop public and private sector capabilities for radon testing and mitigation, EPA formed four Regional Radon Training Centers (see Appendix L: "Resources" See also www.epa.gov/radon/rrtcs.html). These training centers offer courses on testing and mitigation in school buildings designed to simulate hands-on activities by having participants solve practical problems. Contact your state Radon Office (see Appendix L: "Resources" See also www.epa.gov/iaq/whereyoulive.html ) for information on local training opportunities or state training requirements.
Testing and Mitigation Costs
Cost for radon testing in a typical school building ranges from $500 to $1,500. Costs for testing depend on the type of measurement device used, the size of the school, and whether testing is performed in-house using school personnel or a measurement contractor.
If a radon problem is identified, the cost for radon mitigation typically ranges from $3,000 to $30,000 per school. The cost of mitigating a school depends on the mitigation strategy, the school building design, the radon concentration in the school room(s), and the number of school rooms affected. The appropriate mitigation strategy will consider the school building design and initial levels of radon. Mitigation costs at the high end of the cost range are often associated with a mitigation strategy involving the renovation of school HVAC systems. Although the cost is higher, this strategy has the added benefit of improving ventilation within a school building, which contributes to the overall improvement of IAQ.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 10, 2013 PRNewswire/ -- German luxury brands will command most of the spotlight at this week's 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, reports Edmunds.com, the premier resource for car shopping and automotive information. Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz will all unveil highly-anticipated debuts and concepts at their hometown show, which promises an impressive display of high-end luxury vehicles.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130612/MM31390LOGO)
Audi will make its big splash with the debut of the 2015 Audi A8. The vehicle is due in U.S. showrooms next fall, and expected changes include restyled headlights and taillights, and an updated night-vision system.
BMW will continue its string of green-themed unveils with its concept X5 eDrive. While it's unclear when the vehicle will eventually make its way to showrooms, the concept plug-in hybrid SUV is expected to return the U.S. equivalent of 62 mpg and could travel up to 19 miles on electric power alone. In comparison, the conventional 2014 BMW X5 sDrive35i is rated by the EPA at 19 mpg in city driving and 27 mpg on the highway.
Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, aims to compete in the luxury compact SUV segment when it unveils its 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA. Little specific information has leaked on the vehicle, but the production GLA bears a strong resemblance to the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA that debuted earlier this year at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show. There's also much anticipation about – and little information for –the debut of M-B's S-Class Coupe concept.
While German automakers might headline the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, other luxury brands will try to make a splash of their own. Some of the non-German vehicle debuts are:
Edmunds.com's full coverage of the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show will be updated all week long at http://www.edmunds.com/auto-shows/frankfurt/2013/. Edmunds.com editors will also break down their favorite highlights from the show in a special episode of "Edmunds Live" in Frankfurt, which can be found this Friday on Edmunds.com's YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/user/Edmundsvideo.

Deanna Cotton Ribbed Tights
Thin vertical bands of ribs separated by lacy knit create a delightful sweater texture with reinforced toes, a super soft waistband and all in the comfiest cotton.
Fiber Content: 60% cotton, 25% nylon, 15% spandex
Hand wash cool, reshape, dry flat.
Sizing Tips:
Small: 5' - 5'4" 100-120 lbs
Medium: 5'2"-5'6" 120 lbs - 135 lbs
Tall: 5'6" - 5'10" 135 - 175 lbs. We found these fit up to a 46 inch hip and 27 inch thigh.
We found that these run a little bit longer than most B.Ella tights, and are quite high in the waist. Those who tried it had good luck with simply folding the top band over, and we also found that the high waistband can reach over pregnant bellies!
Additional Info: Made in Italy.
The Black is a true black, but is lightened in the image for the Small to show detail.

A little more than a year ago I graphed Blue Shield's outrageous price hikes:
All members of the California medical insurance cartel are doing this, so customers have no choice:
Then I was part of a protest with the nurses union that got the latest price hike delayed for a year.
But now Blue Shield is at it again! Blue Shield hiked the rates on individual plans like mine by 14.8%, which is WAY beyond inflation.
Some unknown fraction money is simply being forcibly transferred from individuals and families to Blue Shield executive bonuses.
Blue Shield claims that "If our annual net income exceeds 2% of revenue, we will return any excesss to our customers..."
But EXECUTIVE BONUSES DON'T COUNT TOWARD CORPORATE INCOME. This means that they can raise the rates to the moon, and still claim that they don't have any extra income, because they paid it all out in executive bonuses, which is an "expense" for them. Blue Shield's CEO got more than $4M last year, for what? His excellent performance in keeping rates down? Blue Shield is a NON-PROFIT by law, has no public shareholders, pays no dividend, and obviously has no accountability to anyone at all. No wonder we're being ripped off!

Monitor 40
3-way bookshelf loudspeaker
Incredible Sound / Affordable Price
The name "Monitor" is special to Polk Audio. The original Polk Audio Monitor Series, produced in the mid-1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk Audio famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging all at a price that made great sound available to everyone.
The newly reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven easily by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish look that complements today's flat screen technology, with wood grain finishes and modern Titanium faces. Built for speed, sound and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.
The Monitor 40 features:
- High efficiency design allows the Monitor Series to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers.
- 1-inch (25mm) Fabric/Polymer Composite Dynamic Balance Dome Tweeter with powerful Neodymium magnet structure delivers clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments.
- Two 5 1/4-inch Bi-Laminate Composite Dynamic Balance Drivers are lightweight and stiff with good damping for high efficiency, excellent bass and lower distortion.
- Multiple small-diameter driver design delivers wide dispersion, better mid-range, and more detailed bass response for an open, "box-less" three-dimensional sound.
- Non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with ¾-inch-thick baffles ensures cleaner, clearer, more lifelike sound quality. (Tower models feature additional front–to-back and side-to-side internal bracing for further reduced resonance.)
- Crossovers use Mylar bypass capacitors for more detailed high frequencies.
- Dual Five-Way Binding Post Connectors, allowing for more secure hook-up options, as well as bi-wiring and bi-amping flexibility.
- Monitor Series speakers are modern living accessories that make a stylish statement in either Black or Cherry wood grain finish, with Titanium faces.
- Magnetically shielded for safe placement on or near TVs and video monitors with no risk of video distortion.
- Critically Tuned Flared Port minimizes port noise (chuffing) for good low frequency extension with low distortion, resulting in natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass.

Incredible, wide mid-range and clear crisp treble. Vocals are mellow and warm
not much under 50-60 Hertz, so turn on your sub
It is a pleasure to be the first to review these new speakers from Polk. After 20 years of using Polk speakers, I have to say they are simply the best value for the money out there. I auditioned various brands for the last month and kept coming back to these Monitor 40s. I have gone the route of big towers, back to bookshelf, back to towers etc. and I decided to try these for the fronts since I have a very satisfactory subwoofer and FX300 for the rear. I really wasn't looking for the low end (below 50 Hz. Most people can't hear below that anyway so why pay for it?)with these speakers, just the mids and highs and I am not dissapointed!! The vocals are outstanding. Tight, clean and alive. The highs are a tad on the bright side, which I like so I am fine with that. I can actually hear things I did not know were on the original recording! I am enjoying the sound that could have cost me a lot more money. Take my advice and LISTEN to these before your spend a lot on another brand or on big boxes. If your sub is adequate,go with these.

Cost. Looks. Sound imaging and reproduction.
I paired these Monitor 40s with my 19 year old Monitor 10Bs. Wow do these Monitor 40s sound great! I auditioned them with my analog stereo system, which was anchored by a 19 year old Yamaha A720 amplifier and the Monitor 40s just flat out perfrom!! Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Symphonic, Rock, and Progressive Rock Music all sound tremendous. Aucostic songs sound like the performer is in our living room. I have mounted the 40s on the wall, about 6 feet high as my rear speakers and they really fill our living room with a warm sound. The highs are crystal clear, the mids tight and distinct, and the bass is solid and strong. This is true across the whole power range of the A720 amp as well as the frequency bandwidth of the Monitor 40 speakers. After auditioning these 40s for a few weeks on my old analog system I upgraded the A720 amplifier to a Yamaha HTR-5890. I also added a CSi3 as my center speaker and a PSW12 as a subwoofer. Again, the 40s sound great with all the other Polk speakers I have in the sound system now whether the program is originating from a surround sound movie, a favorite radio station, CD, cassette tape, or vinyl record. Polk Audio thanks for making such great sounding speakers!!

awesome sound reproduction for the $$
a little large.
although a little large, the 40's have out performed my expectaions. at the moment i am using them as rear speakers in my surround setup and monitor 70's and fronts with an onkyo tx-sr674 as the base. As surrounds they offer clean crisp sound that can keep up witht he best. As fronts they performed amazingly easily pumpin out mids and highs.

Incredibly full and precise sound. Even surpasses towers and supposedly higher end brands.
None whatsoever, superior concept in all aspects.
As I said when I registered this product, I can't believe I found these in cherry, brand new, now in 2010. Being an audio enthusiast for more than 35 years now, I can say I have experienced a vast variety of brands, and in speakers alone, I have enjoyed several nice sounding units from Bose, JBL, Infinity, Klipsch, Athena just to name a few, but I consider the concept and sound of these to be superior. I even prefer them to my RTIs. They are my new reference spkrs which I will judge others by. Great!

nice speakers, good mids, but highs too bright. Stick with RTi6 for better full range performance at same price

nice highs, tight mid bass, good sound stage, looks.
i just picked these up at Circuit City today, and i have been enjoying them all afternoon. i had R20s before, and decided it was time to upgrade. these speakes are wonderful, nice tight mid bass, and the highs are very clean and natural. im running a pure stereo setup, these speakers, velodyne 10 inch sub, yamaha 596 receiver, and onkyo cd player. music is very important to me, and im very glad i went with these polks!

Cost, Highs, and mids. Imaging,Looks.
Some may say lack a bass, but for there size, I was'nt expecting tons of bass anyway.
I recently picked up a pair of the Monitor 40,s. I listened to many speakers. Even the new Rti6. I have owned a full set of the B&W DM series 1 speakers for 7 years now, and have enjoyed them very much. I went to Circuit City the other day and heard the Monitor series speakers playing with some action movie. They seemed to be more alive, and have more of that movie theater sound. So just for fun, bought a pair on the Moitor 40's. I have one SVS sub, and two older klipsch SW12 subs, so bass was not an issue. Running them with a Yamaha RXV-992,I was very impressed with these speakers. I have put them through a good workout. Terminator 3, Pink Floyd's The Wall CD, lots of classical and jazz, ect... I like them equally with movies and music. I trully was not expecting these to remain in my main listening room. I now have the Monitor 30's, and CS1. I have listend to many good speaker's over the years, and the monitor series, for the money, are a tough one to beat. Great highs and mids, and exellent imaging. A pleasant suprise.

Very Stylish and great sound.
Very bulky.
GREAT speakers! Hooked them up to Harman Kardon AVR235 and Velodyne DSP12. The sound is amazing. When I 1st got them, the highs were fairly week, but as soon as I "tuned" the room with the HK, the sound was tremendous. Even without the subwoofer, these babies will produce a pretty low frequency of bass. Great buy!

HIghs, mids and and medium lows.
does not go low, but for the size i dont expect much from them
i bought them 6months ago just to try them, i havent looked back since, sufficient bass mids and highs, can be harsh at times depending on the amp youre using. good for small to medium sized rooms. i do suggest that one buys a sub if you want that thumpimg sound. i personaly found they took some time to breack in but once they had, they sounded excelent

Fits into most entertainment center with concealed doors with grills.
None. Just make sure you have a powered sub!
I bought these as 'open box' special from Circuit City and needed custom speakers to fit into my entertainment center we just bought at City Furniture. They fit perfect laying on their sides and after tweeking my Onkyo receiver, they sound fabulous!! Goodbye tower Kenwoods!!!

Good highs and Mid.
Slightly bigger than what I have expected.
Great sound considering they are only 1/3 of the size of my Celestion DL10. I tested them side by side and was very happy about my new purchase. The bass was a little hollow compared to my DL10 but they serve the purpose.

Very strong for the size! Crossover is clean!
None for the $$ and Size!
A Very "Big Speaker" in a small inclosure. I had Infinty Studio Monitor 120's that were damage due to flood and was not able to shell out all the much cash on another pair. I stopped by my local Circuit City and the Monitor 40's were a open box(actually both grills were broke but who cares!) They not Olny look good, They sound Great!

Mid and high end shine
I could use a little rounder warmer low, but when coupled with the Polk sub, it forms a great combination.
Very nice sound from bookshelves. I compared them head-on with JBL Arena's, and the Monitor 40's really sounded much fuller and brighter. The two 5-1/4" deliver a very wide spectrum and they won me over. For music and home theater if you've got limited space, these are priced right and sound superb.

Repoduction of voice and mid range. Does not sound shallow at all.
None noticed. Obviously, it is a larger shelf speaker so does not rattle the windows but it is clear, with rich sound.
Great warm sound. Mid range voice and jazz horns sound great to me. Great buy. Polk Audio builds a fantastic speaker.

very nice separation and clarity surprising bass when bi-wired
a little too bright at times
very nice speaker but needs bi-wiring to really put out all it has . I have them wired to my b speakers on a marantz h.t 7500 and it really cleans up the sound try it you won,t be disappointed

The sound that comes out of these things is huge. Clean and bright high-end and full robust mid-range sound.
It is an odd size, not quite big enough to sit on the floor, not at all small enough to wall-mount. When listening to music they don't quite have the punchy bass you want but adequate for a bookshelf, and help from a powered sub should compensate.
Great speaker with amazing clearity and big floorstanding sound. I ran these for a few days without a center channel and was pleasantly suprised by the clearity of dialouge and high-end brightness. I am using them as the front speakers now in my suround system with M30's in the rear and a CS1 center. I have yet to hook up my sub but I played a rummbly train scene from "The Polar Express" and managed to rattle the windows, without a powered sub.

Mid range was very crisp and detailed.
Bass was lacking for music.
Excellent sounding speakers for their price. I got them for my 2-channel system with no Sub. The bass was a little lacking for what I was looking for. Traded them in for the RTi6's. Much happier now. Polk does make a very good speaker.

I was surprised about the amount of bass these speakers do have. Just using these speakers are great for a 2ch system. Highs are great as well.
I've had these speakers for about 1 year and can't think of any.
These are really amazing speakers for the money. Competing brands don't stand a chance. As of right now, my system consists of these 40s as my fronts, with a Polk CS2 center, Polk CS1 rear center, and 2 not so good JBL rears, along with a great powered Yamaha Sub.

Clarity, dialog
Highs way too harsh, mid tone is there but rolls off too soon on the low end. Highs fatigue my ears.
Sound great with dialog, but everything else just falls flat. Highs are way harsh and my fatigue your ear, definitely get ear fatigue after 5 minutes of listening time. Mid range is good, but but the harsh highs just ruin it. Warm mids + harsh bright highs are not a good mix. Polk you need to warm the highs or round them off better.

very smooth, detailed, uncolored sound.
thin wall enclosure, not effecient. enclosures a little deep. lacks deep bass. not real wood. needs lots of power. they break up at loud volumes. need i keep going?
I bought these at the brick seeing them 1/2 off the reg price of 500 CAN. excited to get such a deal, my enthusiam wained when i tapped on the walls. specs claim 3/4" mdf, but upon checking inside, they were only 3/8" thick! false advertizing if you ask me! After putting on beefy stands, properly placed, the bass still sounded loose and uncontrolled. I then internally braced the enclosure wall with 3/4" MDF, and properly insulated the inside...much better now! Bass now sounds like a true hi-end speaker, not like a boomy box. These are a great speaker, but cost savings have been designed into them, with thin walls, and lack of insulation. These also need a higher end powerful amp to sound best.

crystal clear highs ,good bass but not chess pounding but more than adaquate,I use my sub to pound the chest.
no key hole wall mount.needs stands,be nice if they were included or specially made for these speakers
I have the pro 400 polk sub which are excellent together with the polk mon 40s.hooked them up alone it supprised with great sound highs & lows.I would recomend these speakers in a heartbeat.

Look and sound great
Need a lot of power for them to get them to sound there best.
They are some of the best speakers I have heard but when I first bought them, they did not sound right after hooking them up to something like 120 watts of power Wow what a difference. They are now some of the best I have heard in the price range.

Powerful, clarity and nice big 'ole bookshelves, almost like a crossover vehicle, not an SUV, not a station wagon, but both....Not a floor model, not a bookshelf, but a crossover speaker...Buy it now....
Leaving them home alone without me.
wOw These could easily be fronts or hooked to a 2 channel somewhere. POWER FULL. In my setup, they are currently relegated to surrounds and easily handle the job, in fact I think they are bored. They are also bi ampable, and do believe I could put these at the front of my system without any issue. Buy these now

On a wedding day, there is nothing I love more than the joyful glow on a bride's face, or that sparkle in a groom's eye when he sees her for the first time. The laughter between your best friends. The love between families who haven't gathered in years. These moments quiet my mind and stir my heart. It's the subtleties, the flickers of excitement, the sparks that captivate me. This is what I see, and it's what will speak in your images.
Let's celebrate these moments together. It's going to be absolutely amazing.

It gets quite heated at times, but that's OK because the guys have been podcasting together now for over 3 years, meaning that their hate for each other is genuine. Joined by a few friends here and there and along with the odd guest presenter (some of them are very odd) Joypod is a podcast for the less hardcore gamer who just wants to hear two idiots try and wing a show every week.
They talk about what they play, where they've played it and what would happen if Lara Croft went on a date with that Unicorn in Peggle. Oh! the hilarity. They also discuss your questions in the forum and even emails, so feel free to get in contact by emailing [email protected].

"Australopithecus is most likely a descedant of Oreopithecus, and lived in Africa 3 million years ago. It still was bipedal, but it is unlikely they are direct ancestors of Homo because of the back-evolution to an arboreal life-style. Alternatively, it's possible that Pan is not at all very closely related to Homo and that the similarity in mitochondrial DNA is caused by climatic selection on the mitochondria."

Not so. Currently, the 23andme test can only explain 10% of neurodiversity. We still lack 90%. OTOH, the present result is not evidence that 90% of neurodiversity is environmental or epigenetic. Other possible reasons for the low amount is that 23andme only uses SNPs, and not CNVs. A test that compared CNVs could potentially get a much higher correlation that might explain much of neurodiversity. About the only thing we know is that at a minimum Neanderthal DNA can explain 10% of neurodiversity. Then we have the difference between ASD diagnosis, and neurodiversity as defined by Aspie Quiz. They have a little above 0.8 in correlation, but that means that they don't share 30-35% of the traits. These 30-35% are probably mostly environmental issues.

Viewing genetics as a "cause" of anything reveals a poor understanding of biology and development in general.
Quite right! The way I look at it, it's like saying the blueprint for a building is the cause of a building (or the reason for designing it a particular way). Even if you could pour building materials and fuel onto the blueprint and have the building magically spring into existence (DNA works this way, sort of) it's still not the 'cause' of the building.
Sophist how do you feel about the 'cannibal / hypernutrition / weather / no more cannibals' suite of hypotheses for autism?

There is now 159 people of European descent (out of 91,000) that has provided reasonable 23andme scores. The correlation is 0.12, which means that p is about 0.05 that there is no relation between scores. There is a huge over-representation of NTs that have indicated their 23andme scores.
I posted a message about Aspie Quiz on one of 23andme's forums in hope of getting some more participants that know their Hn heritage estimation.
It was bad news that the correlation was that low, but maybe not entirely unexpected. In fact, the squared correlation might be similar to the estimated Hn ancestry according to 23andme, whatever that might mean.
