Welcome to Mirth and Motivation! This is a Lifestyle blog offering an eclectic mix of mirthful and motivational pieces, life tips, advice, interviews, social media ruminations and inspirational posts on people, places, and events that shape our lives. I invite you to stay awhile, read some posts, and share your thoughts with this growing online blog community.
One of the fundamental rules of blogging is to make connections with others by adding value through our message/content, comments, and social interactions. I hope you'll share your comments and expertise with me. If you'd like to write a Guest post, offer a sponsorship or PR opportunity, send me a message via the contact form below or email me at: contact at positivekismet.com with your inquiry. Thank you!
Something I know for sure is that we all want to be heard, appreciated and respected; that sincere and positive messages are far more appealing than incendiary angling for blog attention. If your blogosphere surfing brings you here, relax, kick back, and share a positive tidbit on your worldview.
So, How should we handle the global economic shift? How do we stay mirthful and motivated?
I like the idea of seeking meaningful solutions to problems rather than waiting to salvage the remains of a problem gone awry. I am being more mindful of household spending and of my mental chatter; especially the type of chatter that wants to fixate on the "what ifs" of global financial doom. I believe we should wake up daily remembering to express gratitude and joy for the good in our world and stay motivated by honoring our responsibilities.
Students of the I Ching understand the message of Hexagram 41 – "Decrease" which when interpreted carefully, speaks to the cycle of life; the ebb/decrease and flow/increase of conditions. A time of decrease teaches us to manage our resources, seek new opportunities, regroup, and then prepare for and appreciate the subsequent increase that comes. I am fully aware of this cyclical nature of life, and of business; particularly in our current real estate marketplace.
If each of us can manage what we currently have with a spirit of gratitude, remember to share some of our largess with the poor, and feed the body, mind and spirit a diet of uplifting foods/thoughts/actions, the doors we open in the coming months will reveal great gifts.
While I stay informed of current affairs through the mass media, I am re-reading my collection of books (Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl is one), enjoying great music and art, and watching movies that nurture my spirit and warm my heart. I would recommend seeing Slumdog Millionaire if you have not done so!
Remember to do things now and do them well because Tempus Fugit-Carpe Diem!

World road champion Philippe Gilbert headlines the BMC Racing Team roster for the GP de Wallonie, a race that takes place his home region on Sept. 18.
Enjoys Uphill Climb
Gilbert said with a strong team around him, he hopes to add to success he has already experienced in the race that finishes with the 2.8-kilometer ascent of the Citadelle de Namur. "I like this race, it is one I know well and I always have many supporters and family there," he said. "I have won it twice (2006, 2011) and finished second another time (2004) when I was caught in the final 50 meters. So I think if we can control the race until the climb, then it's a good finish for me. It's a climb you can take in the big chainring. That's what I like most." Among those teaming with Gilbert in the 203.1-kilometer race are USA Pro Challenge runner-up Mathias Frank, Swiss national road champion Michael Schär and Greg Van Avermaet, winner of the Tour de Wallonie in July. Gilbert, who is currently competing in the Vuelta a España, said he is nearly back to top form after a crash and deep cut to his knee knocked him out of the Eneco Tour of Benelux about three weeks ago. "I am feeling good so we will see what I can do the rest of the Vuelta," he said. "I think there are one or two stages with finishes which suit me."
BMC Racing Team GP de Wallonie Roster (Sept. 18):
Yannick Eijssen (BEL), Mathias Frank (SUI), Philippe Gilbert (BEL), Jakub Novak (CZE), Michael Schär (SUI), Julien Taramarcaz (SUI), Greg Van Avermaet (BEL), Larry Warbasse (USA).

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the Alpine RUE-M1RF by Ken Nail The bright sun out on the water does more than give you a great tan it also makes conventional IR remotes impractical, since the light interferes with the IR remote eye. Alpine solves that problem with the RUE-M1RF RF remote system. Plug the included RF receiver module into the steering wheel controls jack of your compatible Alpine receiver, then use the RF remote to control the receiver from up to 100 feet away. Don't worry about losing your remote when you hit choppy seas. The remote comes with a mounting cup, and you can string it onto a lanyard using the built-in tabs. Best of all, it floats if you do accidentally drop it in the drink. If you're unlucky, or want spares on hand, extra remotes are available.

Features Overview: The Alpine RUE-M1RF Marine RF Remote Control Kit is compatible with Alpine headunits that offer the steering wheel remote-control input. The RUE-M1RF kits comes supplied with one RF marine remote control and an RF receiver that plugs into the steering wheel remote control jack of your compatible Alpine headunit. In addition to the supplied RF remote control, additional single remotes may be purchased separately, if needed (item# RUE-M1EX). You can program as many as eight remotes to work with the same Alpine headunit. The Alpine marine remote uses RF (radio frequency) technology so you can control your system with the remote from up to 100 feet away. The RUE-M1RF Kit's remote also has the ability to float and is water resistant. The RUE-M1RF Remote Kit comes with a mounting bracket that the remote can clip into to prevent it from getting tossed overboard in rough waters. You can also string the remote through an optional lanyard and hang it up to prevent loss.

I was a bit worried the remote wouldn't work from the fly bridge on my boat. After I installed it, I couldn't wait to test it. Before I knew it, I was sitting in my captain's chair turning the volume up and down with no problem. So nice to adjust the volume now from my fly bridge with the Alpine CDE-143BT stereo in the cabin. Pros: Range Cons: I wish it could seek pre set stations on the radio versus scanning to the next available station. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 great range Written By troy, chicago on Monday, June 15, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) nothing else sounds like an alpine. great remote. simple, straight forward hookup, everyone else is doing the "remote aiming technique", no aiming needed, just press the button.used with ida 305 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Boat-Remote Written By Awboater, Michigan on Friday, January 23, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this remote for my iDA-X100. It works fine, after I discovered you have to depress the "OFF" button to turn the unit on and off, while the owner's manual sez to use the SRC button. The switch membrane also seems to stick occasionally, which can result in constant transmission. But otherwise, it works like a champ, and I like the idea of a small waterproof remote that uses RF rather than IR for marine use - which means you can use it outside. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Still up in the air on this purchase Written By Rob, San Antonio on Friday, May 30, 2008 I purchased this unit hoping to control my Head Unit from the water. It works from a pretty good distance . . .but I have to push the buttons quite a bit. Almost like they are not working 100% of the time. Kind of bites cuz if you hold the remote and the volume goes WAY up. I have about 2000 Watts RMS (need to be able to bring volume down quickly) on my boat, it takes a good while for the volume to go down. The buttons stick a little also. I am going to call crutchfiedl tech support as I am thinking the battery may be weak. For now, I am giving it a middle of the road rating. Maybe with a new battery I will change my tune. I really like alpine gear. 16 out of 26 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Bob, I think it depends on the deer and the broadhead. Seen deer run forever shot through the heart, cleared a 40 acre field before it stopped. And then shot this doe in her bed. She jumped up and went right back down in her bed. I also shot a doe straight through and she jumped off about 10 yards and stood there wondering what went on. Yep, stood right there and bled to death.
Broadhead of good cutting quality for big hole in and out is hard to beat, lets the hot blood out and the cold air in, so to speak.
Yotes, about as weird as animals come. Dropped this dog right in his tracks with a .22 rifle. And then drilled this dog yote twice with a .30/006 and he ran forever. Looked like one of the horror movies, blood everywhere. We couldn't follow on his trail in the tall grass because there was so much blood. Me and my wife tracked that sucker for over 2 miles and never did find him.

When we set out to create the new teammachine SLR01 we knew we had an enormous hurdle ahead of us. The previous generation's SLR01 was largely regarded as one of, if not the most well-balanced pro peloton frameset with regards to weight, stiffness, and comfort. The SLR01 provided not only a feathery weight, but also immediate power transfer and extreme comfort and smoothness. These performance characteristics made the SLR01 ideal for almost any parcours, and climbers and stage racers the world over gained decisive time in critical moments. Still, BMC set out to improve on this already a great achievement.
First, we started by defining the performance criteria of a world-class road bike frame, and by stating such open parameters of frame design as tube cross-sections, tube placement, and carbon fiber lay-up. From there, we established a calculation model capable of computing through finite element method (FEM) the bike frame's real-world performance based on our established parameters. Instead of physically prototype every iterative stage during the engineering process BMC's Accelerated Composites Evolution (ACE) Technology allows to substantially speed up the evolutionary design process in the search for optimal performance of a bike frame. ACE Technology does in one year what literally would take thousands of years: through complex computations, the characteristics of each iteration of frame design are realized and refined until the optimal frame is finalized. Our initial efforts resulted in an astonishing 34,000 design iterations before we were fully satisfied. Unthinkable, how much time it would have taken if every design was prototyped.
The first time our professional athletes were riding the new teammachine SLR01 even the most experienced engineers at BMC were surprised about the immediate positive feedback on the new product. The benefits of ACE Technology are immediately apparent to the rider. Direct and thorough power transfer combined with an astonishing low weight and incredible traction provided by BMC's proven Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC) results in an unprecedented feeling of acceleration. But it doesn't stop there. The agility of the bike is likewise breath-taking, and its balanced handling ensures surefootedness and rider confidence even in unsettling conditions.
BMC's new ACE Technology takes bike design and engineering to a new level. What we learned, and eventually developed, took the previous 100 years of bike-making into the far distant future. BMC's new teammachine SLR01 was the first product to benefit from ACE Technology, but it is not the last. We strive to build bike frames that combine the relevant performance characteristics weight, stiffness and comfort in the best way possible to allow for a unique riding sensation no matter whether in road cycling, mountain bike, or triathlon. Our new ACE Technology enables these qualities across our entire product portfolio.

The BMC Racing Team successfully passed another test Saturday at the Tour de France, powering the pursuit of a breakaway and delivering Cadel Evans to the foot of the final climb – which he rode to a third-place finish to keep his second place overall.
'Guys Have Been Great'
As Rui Costa (Movistar) was surviving out of the breakaway to take the stage win, Evans comfortably monitored a flurry of action in the final kilometer. Philippe Gilbert attacked and got a gap. Then Albertor Contador put in a dig. Damiano Cunego attacked and Evans successfully work his way out of being momentarily boxed in. Gilbert held on for second, 12 seconds behind Costa, while Evans led the chase of the reduced peloton home in third, 15 seconds later. "We didn't lose any time to the main contenders and that is what is really important at this point," Evans said. "So far, the guys have been great."
On The Front
The BMC Racing Team did the majority of the chasing after a nine-man breakaway went away in the first 10 kilometers of the 189 km race and gained a six-minute lead. "We had five in the front, which was really good numbers, with a couple climbs to go," Evans said. "When it's going between raining and then dry, the risks are amplified. You take everything a little bit conservatively." Thor Hushovd (Garmin-Cervélo) finished in Evans's group to hold onto the overall lead. Sunday's stage includes seven categorized climbs in 208 kilometers across the Massif Central.

Hi Bro n sis out there,
i just got myself a pair of barndales limb from the classified from other forum. exactly what i looking for.
My current limb is the 135 which is 45-60# limb. i got a set of 155 suppose to 35-50# am i right.. i mean if its put on my Nemesis on a 2.0cam.
Was planning to put it on for target shooting, coz i have seen and experience twice and come out a perception and thought that, lower poundage bow always in the lead in target shooting. Maybe because they dont wear out fast, as there are not drawing heavy bows. So i now also dont want to waste so much of power to draw a bow, and hopefully i can sustain the long competition rally.
before i actually put my hand on the limb to swap it.
- Anyone have ideas, does it change the letoff?
- Does it effect the draw length say i put back the current string and cable setting.
- anyone use any special tools for removing the e-clip? or a set of plier will do???
(All and all, every setup remain the same, and only change on the bow is the limb poundage)
all suggestion, recommendation and helps is most welcome....
thanks in advance.

I gave my MidPoint schpeel in the previous post with my Thursday picks so I won't repeat myself here. The big draws for Friday are Surfer Blood and Ted Leo but I'm also excited about Silverghost —I booked them to play Earthquakes a few months ago and they were great! They have an EP that you can download for free from RCRDLBL: The Equine Lips EP
There were definitely a lot of conflicts for Friday night—especially the 11:30 slot—and it might be hard to check out the bands at the (relatively isolated) Southgate House without missing a lot of other stuff so we'll see what happens.

Almost but not quite
I ordered a size larger as suggested. Not sure if that was the right thing to do. I have ample breasts and the halter type top does not cover the sides of the breast. Will be ordering my regular size and see if that helps, otherwise they both will be returned. It is a well made and nice fitting suit otherwise.

Style Number: 555105-101 Color: White / Pure Platinum-Ultraviolet
The Nike Air Force Max was made popular by Charles Barkley, and the "Fab 5" from the University Of Michigan. Although the Nike Air Force Max 2013 shares the same look as the original, this time around they have a synthetic leather upper with molded panels, a denser PU midsole, and an enhanced, large-volume Air Sole unit in the heel. Basically, Nike gave a classic basketball sneaker a modern makeover giving you the best of both worlds.

Detailed Description:
This is a double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, randomized, active-controlled 96-week study to assess the safety and efficacy of a regimen containing ritonavir-boosted elvitegravir versus raltegravir, each administered with a background regimen (BR) containing a fully-active ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) and a second single agent in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-experienced adults. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following two treatment arms:
- Treatment Arm 1: Ritonavir-boosted elvitegravir 150 mg QD (ritonavir-boosted elvitegravir 85 mg QD for subjects taking atazanavir/r or lopinavir/r as part of their BR) + BR (N = 350)
- Treatment Arm 2: Raltegravir 400 mg BID + BR (N = 350)
Due to known pharmacokinetic interactions, subjects who are taking atazanavir/r (ATV/r) or lopinavir/r (LPV/r) as part of their BR will receive elvitegravir 85 mg if randomized to Treatment Arm 1.
The BR shall be constructed by the investigator based on viral resistance testing and shall be composed of a fully-active ritonavir-boosted PI and a second single agent.
The fully-active PI is defined by phenotypic resistance analysis. For phenotypic susceptibility, fully active is defined as being below the lower clinical or biological cutoff. The following ritonavir-boosted PIs are allowed to be prescribed by the investigator as part of the BR: atazanavir/r, darunavir/r, fosamprenavir/r, lopinavir/r, or tipranavir/r. Subjects must take their ritonavir dose based on the dosing schedule indicated in the prescribing information for the PI; no additional ritonavir is required to be taken with elvitegravir. No other marketed PIs will be allowed as part of the BR due to unknown pharmacokinetic interactions.
The second single agent may or may not be fully-active and can be one nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), etravirine, maraviroc, or T-20. However, the second single agent must not include an integrase inhibitor; the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) efavirenz, nevirapine, or delavirdine (due to unknown pharmacokinetic interactions); or fixed-dose combination antiretroviral therapies.
After Week 96, subjects will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits until treatment assignments have been unblinded, at which point they will all be given the option to participate in an open label elvitegravir extension phase of the study.

Top Quality By Philip on 11/14/2010 Philip would recommend this product to a friend I am a first time RO user and after searching the internet really liked what I saw in this unit. I had a ton of questions and got the best customer service. They answered all of my questions honestly and cared more about my satisfaction than the amount of my purchase. I ordered the deluxe unit and when I got I was speechless! The unit is all quality. Came completely assembled ready to use. Install took 10 min and I was making water instantly. The instructions were clear and precise. The meters that come with it are top notch and allows complete user control. I have no regrets with this unit. AWESOME!!! Everyone was right! By Paul on 11/7/2010 Paul would recommend this product to a friend From 180ppm to perfect 0ppm water! Fantastic unit! Great value! Easy setup! Excellent features! Red line is your water source, black is your waste, blue is your clean. It doesn't get any easier than that. 4 screws to mount it, 2 min to hook it up. Your ready to go! Literally within minutes of opening the package, I was up and running. I flushed the system via the built in pressure release for 10 min prior to running the blue line in to the second half(the DI chambers). After I had flushed the loose particles out, I hooked up the blue line to the second half of the unit and did another 10 min. Then I closed the pressure release and let the unit run for an hour. The digitle meters are an excellent idea. Love the added value. This Kit is worth much more than they charge! My third RO-DI system, and crushes the others by far! Outstanding Product - Solid Craftmanship By Lodotek on 9/20/2010 Lodotek would recommend this product to a friend I have to agree with all of the other reviews this is definitely the best deal on the web or anywhere for that matter. I have researched for a month before purchasing this unit. No regrets! :-) Thanks! Outstanding Product - Solid Craftmanship - Exemplary Customer Service By EG on 9/17/2010 EG would recommend this product to a friend The RO/DI unit is built extremely well with heavy duty components; the attention to detail as well as the Filter, Pressure and TDS monitor makes this unit the premier RO/DI solution. I had many questions about the unit and made 3 different phone calls to the pre-sales group over the course of 2 days trying to decide if this is the unit I wanted to purchase. They were VERY patient and answered all of my questions. In a nutshell, they care about their customers. When the unit arrived, the packing was first class. The RO/DI unit was wrapped in large bubble wrap and then it was filled with packing peanuts. I feel I got a bargain on the shipping because of the quality of the shipping materials. In addition, the unit was all preconfigured. The unit came in exactly as pictured....everything was already connected, filters were installed and all of the monitors were working correctly. I only had 3 connections to make and it took only about 5 minutes. This experience has made me a believer, there are companies that truly do care about customer service and quality products. I will continue to purchase from BRS and will continue to recommend them to family and friends. Rock solid unit By William on 3/26/2010 William would recommend this product to a friend This is my third RO/DI unit purchase (two are other brands) and by far the best quality unit out of the three. It is worth it to get the deluxe unit. The filter monitor makes it very easy to know when to replace the filters. Grade A+ High quality Review by Terry By email@example.com on 2/5/2010 email@example.com would recommend this product to a friend First time purchasing RODI,no regrets easy to install 5 minutes tops. P.S. and they're nice guys very helpful with any of there products. Great product By Anguel on 11/27/2009 Anguel would recommend this product to a friend I ordered the system last week and already using it.The system comes with everything you need to monitor and maintain it.Great craftsmanship,very easy to set up!

Trainer John Shirreffs shoots for a transcontinental stakes sweep Saturday when he saddles Mr. Commons in the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico while sending out Makoma in the Milady Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Assistant Michelle Jensen will saddle Makoma in the absence of her boss in Maryland and hopes for a replay of Kentucky Derby Day in 2005, when she saddled Hollywood Story to victory in the Hawthorne Handicap here shortly after Shirreffs sent out Giacomo to a startling upset at Churchill Downs.
Victor Espinoza, who won on Hollywood Story after she nearly fell on the first turn, has the Preakness call on Mr. Commons, who drew the outside post in a field of 14 and was listed at 20-1 in the morning line. The Preakness will be simulcast here Saturday during a card that begins early – 11 a.m. first post.
"That's my thought," said Jensen Thursday of her hopes for a replay.
"Makoma is at the top of her game now and is a beautiful mover. I'm going to school her during the first race today."
Makoma, a homebred owned by Jerry and Ann Moss, will make her stakes debut after two wins in five starts. The 4-year-old Kentucky-bred filly is by Malibu Moon out of the Dixieland Band mare Rhapsodic and will be ridden for the first time by Chantal Sutherland.
Makoma seeks to give Shirreffs his fourth victory in six years in the Milady, a Grade II test for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track. The conditioner won with Proposed in 2006 before scoring twice with the legendary Zenyatta for the Mosses in 2008 and 2009.
Trainer Bob Baffert also seeks a Preakness-Milady sweep. He will saddle Midnight Interlude with Martin Garcia in quest of a sixth Preakness win and send out American Story with Alonso Quinonez in quest of an initial Milady score.
After agonizing much of the week, trainer Art Sherman elected to run Ultra Blend in her first try in graded stakes company in the Milady instead of the Fran's Valentine Stakes for California-breds Sunday. "I'm going to try her," said Sherman of the multiple Cal-bred stakes winner. "I think it's the time. I hope I'm right."
GOLDWAKI NEARS U.S. BOW FOR McANALLY
Goldwaki, a Group III winner in France, neared his United States debut for Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally with a seven-furlong work on turf in 1:32 here Thursday.
"Goldwaki won four straight races in France for Andre Fabre and wants to go long," said McAnally of the 4-year-old German-bred colt, who won the Group III Prix du Lys and finished fourth in the Group I Grand Prix de Paris.
McAnally said he bought the colt for Richard Duchossois on a visit to France in October, the same time that he bought the filly Rosehill Dew for his wife, Deborah.
Rosehill Dew, an Irish-bred daughter of Danehill who is now 3, worked five furlongs in 1:02.60 on the turf. "She made her first start over here running 6 ½ (finishing fourth on the hillside turf course at Santa Anita on April 15)," said McAnally. "She wants to go a mile.
"She finished second at a mile last year in France (in the Prix Esmeralda) behind Golden Lilac, who just won the French Guineas," said
McAnally also worked Beverly D. Stakes winner Éclair de Lune seven furlongs on turf in 1:27.40 for the Grade I Gamely Stakes here May 30 and All Star Heart six furlongs on grass in 1:15.
"All Star Heart was making a big move on the turf at Santa Anita when she slipped and fell (at the top of the stretch February 3)," said McAnally of the 4-year-old filly who seems fully recovered.
Jockey Patrick Valenzuela, who has won the Railbird Stakes here a record five times, seeks to lift that mark to six Saturday when he rides Big Tiz in the Grade III $100,000 test for 3-year-old fillies at seven furlongs.
Big Tiz is trained by Mark Glatt and co-owned by Allen and Susan Branch, the same connections for whom Valenzuela won the 2004 Railbird aboard Elusive Diva.
Valenzuela also won the race with Melair in 1986, Sportfull Snob in 1994, September Secret in 2002 and Short Route in 2005.
Valenzuela is also approaching the 100-stake mark at Hollywood Park. The 48-year-old veteran has won 98 added-money races here, 10th on the list. Laffit Pincay, Jr., leads with 288 and is followed by Chris McCarron, Bill Shoemaker, Eddie Delahoussaye, Alex Solis, Gary Stevens, Corey Nakatani, Kent Desormeaux and Victor Espinoza.
Big Tiz, runner-up in the Hollywood Starlet in December, seeks her first stakes win.
Trainer Joshua Litt savored his first victory in more than four years when he sent out Winter Blossom to a popular victory in a $30,000 maiden claiming race for fillies and mares at seven furlongs Sunday.
"I went into the horse transportation business in April of 2007 and got my trainer's license back in January," said Litt Thursday. "A partner and I bought out Cargill and renamed it Morningstar."
Litt, 41, trained for nine years before making the career change and will try to do balance both now. "I had two 2-year-olds come in today and have six now and can't afford another trainer," explained Litt.
Winter Blossom, a California-bred 3-year-old filly that Litt purchased for $6,000 at the Barretts May 2010 sale, won at second asking for Litt's J B K Stable. "My grandfather's initials," explained Litt of his stable name.
Winter Blossom was Litt's seventh starter this year since his return.
His current stable includes Lucky Primo, who won the 2008 California Cup Juvenile for Marty Jones. "He's had his problems," said Litt of the injury-plagued horse.
FINISH LINES—Hollywood Starlet and Santa Anita Oaks winner Turbulent Descent worked five furlongs in a bullet 58 seconds for trainer Mike Puype in preparation for the Grade I Acorn Stakes at Belmont Park on June 11…Proudinsky drilled five furlongs on grass in 59.60 for trainer Humberto Ascanio, who said he is pointing the veteran to the Shoemaker Mile on July 2…U R All That I Am seeks to become the first repeat winner in the $70,000-added Fran's Valentine Stakes for California-bred fillies and mares at one mile on turf Sunday…Happy birthday wishes to trainer Howie Zucker, 63 Friday.

I recieved the Martin Monsterbuck bow as a gift. I took it to my local bow expert/buddy know it all.. He says I need a longer draw length than I currently have. He says there is a part on one of the cams that is replaceable to increase draw lenght.. The part he is talking about on my bow has F-5 on it and is black plastic with two screws holding it in place.. Is there any truth to this? Can I increase the draw length? He says I need it to be around 30..
Any help would be appreciated!

Acadiana's nightlife guide.
OCT 20 The Globe and Mail, a Canadian paper, has posted its story on Louisiana's coastal loss here. In it, author Omar El Akkad clarifies it neatly: it's "a battle between prosperity and the planet's well-being." Are jobs and money worth the trade we're making? As Jonathan Foret says in the story, Mother Nature may come and answer that question for us.
OCT 20 Remember those great posts from blogger Jason Brad Berry that featured emails and letters related to the BP claims process? Well, apparently Patrick Juneau (who was featured, but not in a positive way, in those documents) ordered a background check on Berry because of it, this story in Louisiana Record says. Huh?
OCT 20 The Washington Post and ABC ran a poll on several issues here, but of course the presidential fields are most interesting. Hillary Clinton has commanding numbers on the D side, and Mitt Romney is leading the R side, with 21 percent. He's followed by Jeb Bush, with 11 percent, and 12 other guys polling in single digits. Bobby Jindal brings up the rear with 2 percent, with only John Kasich and Scott Walker polling worse.
OCT 20 Here's the Wall Street Journal's look at the Edwin Edwards campaign. As usual, EWE comes across as affable and likeable, and the other politicians quoted come across as shrill and unpleasant.
OCT 20 Blogger Tom Aswell quotes two former Commissioners of Administration in this post, both of whom are not impressed with the magical surplus that current COA Kristy Nichols and her boss, Bobby Jindal, have found. There's some pretty interesting detail here about the origin of these magic beans.
OCT 20 Blogger Robert Mann paints a pretty amusing (or alarming, depending on your point of view) picture of how DOA Kristy Nichols and Gov. Bobby Jindal came up with the "balanced" budget they revealed last week. An unbalanced budget would blow a hole in Jindal's "already dim presidential hopes," Mann says.
OCT 18 Columnist James Gill tells a sordid tale of a Port Allen judge facing sanctions -- shortly after he was re-elected without opposition. District Judge J. Robin Free accepted a free ride on the private jet of an attorney who had just one a big case in his court, and also failed to recuse himself from a class-action case in which his mom was a potential plaintiff, Gill says.
OCT 20 The blogger known as Crazy Crawfish is writing about Superintendent John White in this post, taking issue with White's claim that it is only pockets of isolated "troublemakers" who are opposed to Common Core in Louisiana. Gosh, Johnny, that's the best you can come up with? That's not even original.
OCT 17 Here's a weird one on WVUE from investigative reporter Lee Zurik. In it, he's quoting a guy who was in a car accident and filed suit against the other guy who (he says) caused it and is responsible for a lot of medical bills. What's weird is what he was told by his lawyer (whom he recorded -- Huh?)
OCT 17 Here's another document from the BP claims library that was delivered anonymously to blogger Jason Brad Berry. It is written on what appears to be BP stationery and is directed to Patrick Juneau. In it, the BP guy complains about a $14 million bill for an audit BP has never seen, as well as a conflict between Juneau's "public boasts of transparency" and the manner in which he has really operated.
OCT 17 Bobby Jindal's poll numbers still stink in Iowa, this post on the Bloomberg Politics blog says. A recent poll found him tied with Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 1 percent, trailing Cruz, Perry, Christie, Rubio, Bush, Walker and a partridge in a pear tree.

Scrappy Wall Quilt Projects
Is your fabric stash taking over your sewing room? Make a few of these scrappy wall hangings, and then you can start building your stash all over again!
Scrappy Squares [1]
A sophisticated and subdued palette of Japanese taupe fabrics form scrappy squares. A dark outer border grounds the quilt and allows the blocks to take center stage.
Rings of Color [4]
Three-color blocks create a fun and bright wall hanging. Use scraps for a random assortment of blocks.
Pixelated Diamond Wall Hanging [7]
Careful placement of scrappy blocks that are half dark prints, half light prints creates a large diamond shape. When you take a step back, the small squares in the diamond give it a pixelated look.
Polka Dot Palooza [10]
Mix polka dots and swirls in scrappy circles framed by polka dots for a playful wall hanging. Pops of red-orange balance the otherwise black-and-white color scheme.
Flying Geese Wall Hanging [13]
Give this wall hanging a controlled scrappy look by using one background fabric for each vertical row of Flying Geese.
Here Comes The Sun [16]
Although this quilt features a simple black, white, and yellow palette, you can get a perfect scrappy look with any fabric combination!
Bolts of Blue [19]
Mix your favorite blue prints in a scrappy wall hanging that will have you doing anything but singing the blues.
City Lights Quilt [22]
Combine rectangles and dark sashing and borders to create a quilt design that resembles a skyscraper with windows aglow.
Wall of Color [25]
Coordinate favorite solid colors or use up leftovers in this graphic wall hanging.
Batik Baskets Wall Hanging [28]
Give Basket quilt blocks exotic flair with a scrappy mix of batiks.
1930s Scrappy Wall Hanging [31]
Solid white sashing strips and add black-and-white prints in the sashing squares provides an unexpected checkerboard look, which is a nice contrast to the soft pastels.
Batik Patches Quilt [34]
Combine dozens of batiks in a rainbow palette to create a scrappy lap-size quilt.
Uneven Nine-Patch & Star Quilt [37]
Pull out all your polka dots for a scrappy wall hanging that has a sense of playfulness and whimsy.

Journey's Neal Schon Proposes Onstage
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Journey guitarist Neal Schon proposed to girlfriend Michaele Salahi during the band's concert on Sunday (October 14th), in Baltimore, Maryland, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. Journey was performing at the One Night One Show One Cause benefit at Modell Performing Arts Center, when keyboardist Jonathan Cain continued to vamp on the piano while a choked up Schon brought Salahi onstage, got down on one knee and proposed. Following a tender moment between the couple, the band launched into its 1983 power ballad, "Faithfully."
TMZ.com reported that Schon, who was terrified that the ring would be stolen, had the million-dollar ring dropped off to him at his hotel by an armored truck. Salahi will become Schon's sixth wife. He has five children from his previous marriages.
Prior to hooking up with the Journey co-founder, Salahi was best known for crashing a White House party with estranged husband Tareq Salahi, and a stint on Bravo's The Real Housewives Of D.C.
Last February Tareq Salahi sued the couple for $50 million along with $450,000 in punitive damages. The suit, which was eventually thrown out of court, alleged that Michaele had been living a double life with Schon for years, and set out with Schon to humiliate and defame Tareq. The suit came a day after Journey's video, "Resonate" was released showing the couple wrapped around each other in passionate embraces.

There's a story like this in every state, virtually every week and they're all are slanted pretty much the same.
Courtesy of the Kitsap Sun newspaper, here's the headline from the most recent "Animal Tragedy" story, which occurred in Olalla, Wash., a rural area about 30 miles southwest of Seattle:
"More than 180 animals seized from Kitsap County property"
The story continued: "Investigators hope to wrap up their investigation by next week and submit their findings to the prosecutor's office, according to Jake Shapley, the [Kitsap County] Humane Society's animal rescue chief. The seizure, which stemmed from an investigation that started in April, is the society's largest rescue effort to date, Shapleysaid.
"Authorities seized rabbits, birds, miniature horses, cows, goats and llamas from the property, with the most exotic animal being a golden pheasant.Veterinarians said the animals were not living in sanitary conditions, with multiple animals in one cage.The animals were treated and remain at the Humane Society's facility in nearby Silverdale, Wash., until the investigation is completed."
Now here's the problem—actually, multiple problems—with this story.
First of all, it's not at all clear from either the reporting or accompanying photos (made by local ABC affiliate KOMO 4 TV) whether the "investigators" were county animal control officers or Humane Society personnel. There is one photo that shows somebody wearing what looks like an official uniform, but mostly the images show what appears to be Humane Society personnel and/or volunteers.
In fact, the KHS website notes that the society operates its own animal control service: "Borrowing a very successful code enforcement and criminal investigatory model from local fire departments, the Animal Rescue Department at Kitsap Humane Society provides communities with specialized 'Animal Control' code enforcement and animal cruelty investigations."
That's fine, but their "Animal Rescue Department" isn't an official public agency, and the news coverage doesn't make that distinction—which I have to believe is just fine with society officials.
Second, even a cursory review of the photos—several taken by circling news helicopters, no less—shows significant clutter on this farm(if that's what it is), but interestingly, no apparent mistreatment of any of the critters that were seized. Infact, every animal appearing in the photos seems healthy, well-fed and well-groomed.

Farmer's Market Report: Portland, Oregon
Portland's biggest market, held at Portland State University on Saturdays, is bursting with flavorful produce, friendly faces, live music and local delights. Visiting the market over seven years ago is what fully lured me and my husband into moving to Portland in the first place. It's one of the most spectacular, seasonal, fresh and enjoyable places on Earth!
Portland has several seasonal markets, located all over town. The big grand daddy of them all however, is at the university downtown; I always thought of it as a cool partnership of academia and community. Each year the market grows a little more in scope and variety of vendors. Throughout the month of July, the produce is really peaking and vendors are proudly serving up prepared foods featuring neighboring farm's fruits and vegetables. The energy here is infectious. It's a love fest for food.
But this market offers more than just shopping. Every Saturday, there's a free live chef demo as well as monthly cooking classes for kids. Live music sets the tone for shopping, lounging and picnicking. The atmosphere of fun and community enhances an already outstanding selection of organic items. Whole grain pancake mix? Biggest whole green garlic plants? Local honey? Juicy raspberries? I could go on and on. The Portland farmer's market truly has it all and then some!
Shopping List of My Favorite Local Specialties
• Freddy Guys Hazelnuts
These hazelnuts are the best roasted variety I've ever tasted. Grown in an orchard near Portland, they are a must-visit every week for the distinct flavor and crispy texture. They make a wonderful gift that represents Oregon so well.
• Two Tarts Bakery
Two Tarts got their start at this market with tiny cookies at affordable prices. This company now has a brick and mortar shop in NW Portland so their legions of fans can get their fix every day of the week. Their Lil Mamas (chocolate cookie with cream filling) are like Oreos but about a million times tastier. And their mini rhubarb pies are not to be missed!
• Delphina's Cream Scones
There are scones and then there is THIS scone. It is the baked good that wows with simplicity and perfection. It would make the perfect vessel for macerated strawberries and a pillow of whipped cream. I love it all by itself, dunked into my Americano as I size up vegetables.
• Persephone Farm: Kale/Greens
Persephone is my favorite organic farm vendor. Their produce is consistently flavorful and abundant, picked at peak season and just delicious. They sell everything at an affordable rate and the quality and flavor is so much higher than store-bought organic food. I really feel I'm getting the best of the best here. Especially in terms of my beloved weekly purchase of chard and kale.
• Alma Chocolate: Lavender Caramel Sauce
Alma needs no introduction to locals; she's one of the most celebrated chocolatiers in the city. She sells seasonal, artistic chocolates at the market, but it is her lavender caramel sauce that does me in each week. Sprinkled with a little flaky salt, it is outrageous. Vanilla ice cream will become the stuff of legend with the addition of a bit of Alma's caramel sauce.

A Saturday routine! I always miss the fun because we're there at 8:30, right when they open.
My favorites are: carrots and artichokes from DeNobles, salad greens and broccoli from Groundwork Organics, and whatever looks fabulous from Viridian Farms. Also Square Peg had delicious green beans and sour cherries (!!!) this week.
I just visited Portland and this farmers market last month and must say I agree, it's awesome! Two tarts was my favorite, I even managed a trip to their store the next day. All their treats were delicious. Loved this farmers market, it's a must see if you are ever in Portland!
Good to know! I'm going to Portland in Sept, and have been looking for cool places to visit there. Thanks!
I visited Portland with my niece who's studying in Eugene (go Ducks) on several occasions and we came upon the Portland State market in spring + a downtown one in early summer. I was amazed at the variety of delicious treats and produce available in summer. In mid spring, it was mainly root veggies. However, I waited patiently for my Stumptown single drip coffee from a nearby kiosk and it was probably the best coffee I've ever had.

@Bodycopy center bold:<*p(0,0,0,11.4,0,0,g(P,S))>Bartow County sees new leaders in top positions
After Clarence Brown announced his retirement as county commissioner, five candidates threw their hats into the ring for the first open county commissioner election in nearly 20 years. Steve Taylor, Mike Bearden, Mike Abernathy, Tony Tidwell and Tracy Lewis all ran for the position, but only Bearden and Taylor gained enough votes in the July 31 primary to make it to the Aug. 21 runoff. Taylor won the final election with 5,212 votes and 60 percent of the vote.
"We've had a good run. We've worked for seven months. We've worked hard, we've had a lot of support. Ran against four great candidates, great citizens of Bartow County and I appreciate each one of them offering themselves for service," Taylor said after winning. "Mike Bearden called me and congratulated me and he was a perfect gentleman. He told me we'd be talking at a later date and offered me his support.
"Mike comes from a great Bartow County family ... and so did Tony Tidwell, Mike Abernathy and Tracy Lewis. I just appreciate all they did and all they gave for this race."
After his election, Taylor selected Attorney Peter Olson to be his county administrator. Olson will replace Steve Bradley, who is also retiring.
The position of Bartow County tax commissioner also was open, as VaLenda Bailey did not run for another term after serving for 38 years. Steve Steward, Vicki Beck, Chuck Holt and Judy Kilgore all ran for the position, but it came down to Stewart and Beck after the primary.
Stewart won with 5,212 votes against Beck's 3,305.
"I just want to say 'thank you.' I'm really humbled to be the next tax commissioner," Stewart said. "Ms. Beck ran a real good race and had me on my toes the whole time this last 21 days ... there have been a lot of sleepless nights, but we came out on top."
Other races included the tight defeat Melba Scoggins delivered to incumbent Clerk of Superior Court Gary Bell. Scoggins won 50.8 percent of the vote against Bell's 49.2 percent.
Chief Magistrate Thomas Moseley also won re-election against challenger Paul Nally, with 76 percent of the vote versus Nally's 23 percent.
Incumbent Bartow County Board of Education member Wanda Cagle Gray lost to Republican challenger Fred Kittle, who received 55 percent of the vote to Gray's 44 percent.
On the state level, representatives Phil Gingrey and Paul Battles easily won re-election, while Trey Kelley defeated incumbent Rick Crawford 78 percent to 21 percent.
Those elected to county office will be sworn in during a 10 a.m. ceremony Monday, Dec. 31.
Bartow County and municipalities to form MPO
Bartow County and its municipalities will begin working toward forming a metropolitan planning organization, which will bring local governments, county officials and Georgia Department of Transportation officials together to plan and fund road projects. All federal transportation funding will flow through the organization.
The MPO — which is similar to the Atlanta Regional Commission, but on a smaller scale — will encompass all of Bartow County and include the seven municipalities within it.
Forming an MPO is required under federal law once an urbanized area acquires more than 50,000 residents after a census. As Cartersville has approximately 52,477 residents as of the 2012 census, it was required to start laying the groundwork to form an MPO.
Once approved by Gov. Nathan Deal next year, the Bartow County MPO will be the 16th in the state.
Although an MPO is based around the urbanized area that hit 50,000 in population, with its boundaries extended to areas where the city is predicted to expand in 20 years, Bartow County and local officials decided to make the county lines the borders for the MPO.
Radney Simpson, the assistant state transportation planning administrator, said it was a good idea to think ahead and make the entire county the MPO.
"Making a decision to go countywide is a great decision for the process — [the] travel demand modeling process. A lot of our data exists at the countywide level, so there won't be a great deal of speculation that needs to be done."
All seven municipalities and Bartow County have signed the necessary memorandums of understanding and resolutions to form the Cartersville-Bartow County Metropolitan Planning Organization, which will be maintained by the Bartow County Department of Community Development.
"This is a good thing," said Cartersville Mayor Matt Santini before Cartersville approved the MPO. "This keeps us from being a small fish in a big pond with ARC and it certainly gets us out of that shadow a little bit. So [I'm] real happy to see that."
Taylorsville elects new mayor
Cartersville Fire Department Capt. Mitchell Bagley became Taylorsville's new mayor Nov. 12, when City Attorney Boyd Pettit swore him in.
Bagley won the Nov. 6 election for Taylorsville's mayor with more than 40 percent of the vote, as the city's charter allows an election to be decided by plurality rather than majority.
Lamar Cantrell, Eddie Newman, Michael Owen, James Ross and Jeff Rhodes were the other candidates running for the position.
The election was called after former Mayor Cary Rhodes pleaded guilty to computer and electronic child exploitation. He was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigations in October 2011 and was sentenced to two years in prison in June 2012.
Bagley, who will serve out the remainder of Rhodes' term, said he looked forward to improving public participation in Taylorsville's government.
Kingston approves $1.3 million USDA loan
After months of debate, Kingston approved a $1.3 million loan and $981,000 grant U.S. Department of Agriculture package designed to repair and improve part of its water system.
The vote, held during the council's Dec. 17 meeting, saw a split in the council. Louise Howell, Ed Miklas and Chuck Wise voted in favor of the approval, while Harold Posey voted against it.
During a later interview with The Daily Tribune News, Posey said he believed the city should attempt to fund the improvements with city money and Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax funds rather than taking on additional debt.
The city's engineering firm, Sweitzer Engineering, has not drafted any final plans, said Vice President Trent Lard. Specific design elements will be chosen in the coming months, starting with the city council's January meeting.
However, Lard said it was apparent that some water mains and valves needed to be replaced, as it is becoming difficult for Kingston to shut off some sections of the system to fix leaks.
In addition, Lard and Sweitzer said it was necessary to enlarge the water main running down Ga. Highway 293 to give Kingston water customers adequate fire protection. The only other option, Sweitzer said, was for Kingston to buy water from the county off a high pressure line.
The DTN will follow this story as it develops throughout next year.
Emerson approves 2 mill increase
Citing a budget deficit, the Emerson City Council approved a 2 mill increase to the city's millage rate during a July 24 meeting. It was the first property tax instituted in Emerson in more than 20 years. While the millage rate was calculated every year, each city council would roll the rate back to zero.
Three different rates were proposed. Two of them were more than 3 mills and would have erased the city's deficit and allowed the police department to hire another officer. However, many citizens believed those millage rates were too high, as no Emerson resident would be able to file any deductions on their taxes.
During a public hearing on the issue, City Manager Kevin McBurnett explained what the different millage rates would do for Emerson.
"Two mills will give you a balanced budget. We need 2 mills so we do not have to use anything else in our savings account because our savings account has gotten so low, if we were to have an emergency situation right now we wouldn't have the money to fund it," he said.
As of July, Emerson had approximately $430,000 in savings. That, McBurnett said, "does not go far at all."
"I think it's our responsibility as a mayor and council to keep this city vibrant, and if you want us to cut back and not provide what the city deserves, I think it's a mistake," Mayor Al Pallone said after discussion shifted to the 2 mill increase. "We're making a sacrifice, I think, by not financing the police department."
Some citizens wanted a millage rate that increased from half a mill to 2 mills over a period of time, but the council did not believe it would be enough to solve the city's financial problems.
"We're re-instituting something for survival," said council member Charles Lowry.
The council unanimously voted for a 2 mill increase to balance the budget. All the council members hoped it would be possible to roll the millage rate back in the future once LakePoint Sporting Community & Town Center began construction.
