2012 Subaru Impreza
I like them as well...I converted all my interior lights using red LED blubs as well to compliment the dash lighting.......Im also looking at installing a strip of white LEDS in the hatchspace.....I saw a great DIY project that would completely illuminate the hatchback area......but have to wait till it gets warmer......
Bruuster, thanks for the reply. I think I made the $700 figure up.
If you don't mind me asking, where in SoCal are you? Which dealer are you using? How much paying? Sport limited/not sport?
Glendale is closest dealership for me, but salesmen are sleezy. Sherman Oaks seems to have a much better rep. But I don't mind going further afield for the right deal.
That shouldn't be any problem. It was difficult to tell how deep the various ruts were, but a few holes jostled the Pilot pretty well, so you might end up scraping up some mud on those unless you maneuver the vehicle differently.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
The packed stuff that was traveld on was just that packed. When I got into the deeper stuff (3 - 4inches) I followed the tracks I made the day before. Under the snow in that section is just dirt, no stone / gravel. The packed part was all gravel up to the large parking area (on left before I made the hard right, then you see it again when I make the hard left headed back down).
The Impreza will have no problem with anything like the conditions shown in the video, though I'd personally slow down a bit on slick hardpack with limited room to recover from a slide (that's just me). I've found Subie AWD and VDC systems to be far better in real-world limited traction conditions than my Honda AWD vehicles (CR-V and Pilot), so clearance will be the biggest advantage with something like a Pilot. Tires make a HUGE difference, though, and the best AWD can be utterly thwarted by a poor tire, so if you're going to be looking for snowy drives, maybe something a little more suited than the stock tire will be in order.
My camera makes it look like I'm going faster than I was. I was only doing 10-15, but on the longer streches I had it up to 20 since I know these trails very well. The main stretch from the road up to the big parking area does see alot of WRX's and Evo's running (they close the road for this) for times to go up, not down. There are multiple pull offs that people pull into and set up camera's, I just wish some would post some of the video's but I'm not sure how Legal it is they do this since it is only a 15mph gravel roadway. I wanted to take my girls all the way out to the Hang Glider launch sight, but that trail is closed for a bit due to downed trees. If you go under Google Maps and look up Bendigo Airport, Tower City, Pa. Just to the East you will see the intersection of Gold Mine Rd, Clarks Ferry Rd, and Greenwood Rd. Just north of the airport you will see Peters Mountain (Greenland Rd.) Thats where I was at. If you follow Gold Mine Rd. south until it intersects with Rt. 443, that is a fully paved section that has alot of elevation changes and switchbacks, and some great views. Now granted these are not the Rocky's or the Smokies, but its close enough to for me to go play on. We also have Rausch Creek which is just east of the airport closer to I-81 and is a massive off-roading park. They are talking about adding a Rally track in for AWD cars to play on.
Got it. The camera does make it appear faster. Is that a GO Hero, by chance? I use a Hero with my WaveRunner and I get a kick out hearing my daughter giggle and laugh as we have fun on the water. Good times
I've tried video recording our Jeeping adventures in Moab, but I've always struggled to capture the ridiculous angles, drops, and spans we traverse. What appears positively terrifying in person comes across as rather mundane later. I just can't seem to capture the "pucker" factor.
nope... just a normal Polaroid t1031 digital camera on a Stand-all vehicle tripod. I have the camera set for HD 640x480 video. And I agree on the not being able to show the angle at which your going. Check out some of the video's on youtube of "Lake Christy" or "Rausch Creek" (which is about 5 min from where I started my video)
I was getting the impression that you were traveling slowly on those roads, in line with what you said were your speeds. I'm a little embarrassed to say that it seemed slow to me.... :blush:
It did get me thinking that I should set up my video camera on something similar the next time I take my Forester out on the logging/mushing/snowmobile trails. It is fun to be driving along a trail and come across a musher coming the other way; there's just something a little surreal about it.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
Nice to see a positive review reflecting how most of us feel about the new 2012 Impreza.
link title
Article pretty accurately reflects how I feel about the car after test driving it and comparing it with other cars. There really isn't much to complain about.
On week 3 of a 6-8 week wait on a DMG Sport Limited. Should be receiving VIN soon. They extended the 0.9% financing till the end of February so it will be close.
As a side note, the price of gas is ratcheting up again so it should create even more demand as people scramble to purchase more fuel efficient cars. Supply of hatches is ridiculously low at dealers here in Southern Cali.
How did you manage to get the .9% deal extended? In the Seattle area, we are told we are out of luck, with our car ordered in January and coming in this week.
you wrote:
"Supply of hatches is ridiculously low at dealers here in Southern Cali. "
What is up with them ordering almost all sedans everywhere it seems? Same thing here in the Northwest. First wave of cars is almost all Sedans and of course the demand is for hatchbacks, especially in the outdoorsy oriented Northwest. Not sure what they were thinking. So of course there is a shortage of hatches. I am glad I got in line for one early!
5 door premium, CVT, Option 2 (all-weather package), Utility Package 1A (foglights, and couple small things) $20,918 plus tax and license.
Factory invoice according to True Car is $21,140. Edmunds says $21,118.
I'd be very happy to get it near invoice on such a new, hot model.
It appears that there is a $300 "regional ad fee" that is also built into the cost.
Hmm, lots of stuff goes into the pricing, doesn't it?
Edit: Oh, ZERO percent interest through February...2 month delay on first payment...but, since this is an order, the interest would be whatever is on the table when the car comes.
well, I was a back seat driver today. But my wife loved it! Her words, handled well, good acceleration, very comfortable. Also, she appreciates the simplistic nature of the controls and dash--nice dials, levers, etc. Mirrors were big...
vs my '03 Forester, she loved the front seat. In fact, she said she wouldn't want it if the front seat was like the Forester seat.
Back seat has about 2" more leg room than the '03 Forester! All in all, has almost all of the earlier generation Forester attributes (small size but spacious and well laid out interior, good mpg, nimble handling) but with major improvements in important areas such as less noise and more mpg.
I'm 6'3" and I found the back seat very comfortable.
I believe it is a regional offer by Subaru. If I go to the Subaru website and put in my zip code under "Offers", 0.9% financing comes up for the 2012 Impreza but only until Feb 29th. My salesman informed me about this as well
As for hatchbacks, Subaru is missing the boat as the prior models hb's outsold the sedans according to the Topix reviewer. So they knew but didn't adjust the mix enough. The Sports and Limited models are also hard to come by unless you special order.

Seriously Confused and hopeless
- 0I'm lost. I'm confused. Don't know what to do. Love hurts so much, it's this punding force that won't let up. I don't want to fail as a parent. So far, my child is the happiest human being I have ever known. And I know it's genuine because she's a baby...innocent. I want(ed) to become a nurse because this love I feel for my little one is what others could use. I would feel helpful, and prominent in other people's lives. BUT how can I?? How can I compromise precious time with my bundle of joy to get an education that -according to many ppl on this board- won't make me sufficient money as a single parent???? Are my dreams of becoming a CRNA gone?? Out the window into the dark, stormy weather of deep red clots feeled with the smell of infinity piles of crap. I am willing to work.....but I am a dreamer. I barely have a logical bone in my body. People say "Have faith", "you can do it if you believe you can", and the oh so famous "if my friend of a friend of a friend of a friend can do it...you certainly can! .
I don't know. I don't know anything except why?
I will have to just find myself a doctor and make him fall in love with me while I allow myself to be consumed with my inner ignorance of this chastened existance called life.
That's if the war doesn't take all our lives soon.
I thank you all for reading....
Good Bye for now :stone
- 0WOW! A bit Harsh eh?
Thanks for the honesty though .
hmmm....my child looks nothing like me............I wonder if it even is mine???????
- 0What's wrong with me!!!????
What did I do wrong!!???
I was PERFECTLY FINE through the WHOLE spring break. I spent the entire time with my child, laughing and playing..happiest I have EVER been. SERIOUSLY...I FELT LIKE I COULD CONQUER THE WORLD!
But once it hit home that school is coming up....she goes back to daycare..I go back to -literally- hitting the books.
I just don't want to waste my time...getting all this info.advice that I'm headed for a long, hard, and -eventually- depressing road of nursing...I mean...
I want buisness but I need financial security...I want nursing but I need time with my little one....I want to feel FRRREEEEEEE.
- 0Mar 23, '03 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideYou do sound confused, honey, but I think you're depressed, not crazy! Have you seen your physician lately? Maybe some talk therapy and/or an antidepressant might be in order......these don't "fix" everything, but they give you a start in putting your own house in order. I'm hearing feelings of helplessness and hopelessness from your post, and I can tell you, I've been there---not in the single-mom capacity, but I know what it's like to look around and see nothing but obstacles, and then think if someone would just help me get past the first one, I could scale the others on my own. Anyway, I wish the best for you, and hope you're able to get things sorted out soon; life's too short to be this miserable.
- 0Thank you mjlrn, I appreciate the advice, I really do.
I have gone through depression, before my child. Seriously bad too. But I don't want to have to go through it all over again. My parents would kill me if I didn't do it.
They already are in a 20,000 debt from when I was hospitalized a few years ago, and I'm much "happier" than I was then. I just don't want this black wave of mine to come back and waste away precious years of my life; years that I could devote to getting my degree that will allow my child and myself live comfortably and happy...But what IS that degree I should be getting right now??????????????????????????
I don't know what to do at this point....maybe this feeling will go away in the morning..till then...
Blessed Be
- 0Mar 24, '03 by renerianI made a living, a good one, as a single mom of two kids. I bought two houses on that income as well. Find strength and idependence by yourself. Yes your child is young only once, but the rewards will pay off for your sacrifice now. I missed alot of firsts but I am so glad I could provide for my children.
- 0Mar 24, '03 by webbiedebbieIt is up to you to make things happen. They will not be given to you on a silver platter. Obviously, where you are at right now is not going make a difference if you don't shake off the attitude. Life is not fair and it is not easy. YOU have a priority in your life right now and that is of your child. Shake off the past and start over. Get some help. You can still go to school and have precious moments with your child as well as fullfilling your dream of being a CRNA. It really is up to you.
Talk to us...we are here for you. Sure, we gripe every once in a while, but we are blowing off steam. That is healthy. I have worked outside of nursing and it is not a bed or roses either.
My life sucked when I was in nursing school and I had 3 children. My then husband was an emotional abuser. But I made it through all of the frustrations and I am stronger now. It is what we make of the situations that we are given that makes a difference.
You sound like you really want what is best for your child. Work with that. Get some help. You can do it. Concentrate on your accomplishments. Feel good about them.
I wish you well. Please feel free to PM me if you wish.

New weapons, armour and game mode all part of the latest monthly update.
Paradox Interactive has detailed a new update heading to War of the Roses. This Wednesday's patch will add a new helmet, four new visors, seven new weapons and a new game mode to mix up the game's thriving online scene.
Those new weapons include a gothic mace, fancy halberd, horn-spanned crossbow and other nasty medieval instruments.
The star of this update though, is a new game-mode dubbed Pitched Battle. In it warriors will only have one life to do as much damage to the other team as possible, with those boasting the most kills judged the victor. To try out this new mode all players have to do is look for applicable servers, via the in-game server browser later this week.
This update is just the next in a long line coming to War of the Roses over the coming months, and we have to say we're rather smitten with this medieval take on competitive multiplayer.
If you'd like to know more about this PC exclusive, check out our review linked here.

BP Oil Spill

Mon January 14, 2013
Court Revives Call for Oil Spill Pollutant List
A federal appeals court has revived an environmental group's call to make BP PLC list the amount and type of every pollutant that got into the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 oil spill.
But it upheld a lower court ruling that the rest of the Center for Biological Diversity's lawsuit became legally irrelevant when BP capped the well.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals took issue with BP's contention that the pollution information is readily available on the Internet, comparing the search to looking "for a needle in a cyberspace haystack."
BP had no comment on the opinion.
The center's oceans director, Miyoko Sakashita, says public disclosure of toxic materials is important for restoring the area and for public health. She says the center is considering options on the dismissed claims.

HUD's Castro pledges federal aid to revitalize Gary
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com/302-0949 August 20, 2014 11:54AM
U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro tries on his new Gary T-shirt presented by Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson Wednesday at the Sheraton Hotel demolition site. | Carole Carlson~Sun-Times Media

Updated: September 22, 2014 12:25PM
GARY — U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro stood in front of a yellow excavator moving debris Wednesday at the former Sheraton Hotel and pledged to use federal clout to revitalize the city.
Until July, when he was tapped by President Obama to head HUD, Castro served as mayor of San Antonio, Texas. That background provided him with first-hand knowledge of the obstacles cities face, he said.
"I see HUD as the department of opportunity ... making investments to create partnerships, create jobs and be a catalyst in the urban core," he said.
Castro's trip to Gary and to Chicago later in the day marked his first official visits to cities that benefit from HUD money.
HUD, through its Neighborhood Stabilization Program, kicked in $600,000 for the $1.77 million Sheraton demolition, expected to be completed by the end of October.
"The Sheraton has become a symbol of blight," Castro said. "We will see it coming down for good."
Gary recently became one of 22 cities in Obama's Strong Cities, Strong Communities program that provides federal assistance for revitalization efforts.
Valerie Lee, who lives and works downtown, shared the podium with Castro and Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson.
"Every day, I open the blinds and see the Sheraton," said Lee, who lives in the Dalton Arms Apartments on 5th Avenue. "It will be good to see it come down. ... I hope it will continue to be a spark for the people of Gary."
Freeman-Wilson, who has yet to announce whether she'll seek a second term, made the demolition of the Sheraton her chief priority when she took office in 2012.
She said Wednesday the old 17-story hotel that opened in the 1970s under the Richard G. Hatcher administration, would come down by the end of October. The hotel has been shuttered for more than 36 years.
"A lot of people ask why it's significant and important to take the Sheraton down," she said. "It signifies a new day in the city of Gary, Indiana, and No. 2, we want the citizens of this community to feel good when they come downtown."
Castro said about a dozen HUD officials are embedded in Gary, working with city officials to create a plan of rebirth once demolition efforts are over.
Freeman-Wilson has targeted the city's north side for redevelopment efforts. The areas include Horace Mann, downtown, Emerson, Aetna, Miller and Glen Ryan.
City officials want input from residents on their vision for their neighborhoods. A planning meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. Sept. 9 at the Miracle Temple Church of God in Christ, 1309 E. 13th Ave. in Aetna.

Monday went well. Stuck to the plan, observed a rest day, pacing on the phone in the evening as first my son, then one of my sisters called.
So, on to Tuesday, in a similar vein:
* Look for the silver linings (thanks to EBEAMS)
* Drink that water
* Eat what's in the bag, it's healthy.
* Take those break walks, even if they aren't at the normal time.
* Get on the treadmill to the beginning round of the big dance
LIFE is good, healthy life is BETTER, Sparking on all cylinders is the BEST!
* Beware the pink clouds, Barb.
* Keep your head in the game.
* Drink your water.
* Eat what's in the bag, that's why you packed it.
* Remember to take those walk breaks, even if not at the "regular" time.
* No matter what anyone else says today, you still can only do what you can do in the time allotted.
You asked for it, you got it... aren't they pretty? Not very St. Paddy's day, color-wise... but folks will see me coming down the path, for sure!
This has been a weekend for rewards. Yesterday afternoon, I got my hair cut and professionally colored. Last time I got it colored was maybe November 2010. I skipped all color last year when I was doing so much swim training for the triathlon. But every so often, you just need a little pick me up. This was mine.
Today I hopped on the treadmill for the first time since two weeks ago, before I took that side trip down the illness path. I took it easy, just 3.5 miles, but I'm feeling better and better, and more able to take on that ten miler next weekend.
This afternoon I drove down to my favorite running shoe store and found that my current favorite running shoe was on sale (or at least the bright turquoise version of it was). It's a softer feel than many of the running shoes are. It is a Nike Pegasus, and it is a neutral stride shoe. I do not over or under pronate, therefore it is an appropriate shoe for me. The ones I've had previously were grey with blue or light green trim... these... well, kind of "pop" the color. Since it was a sale, I bought two pair, and will put them in the rotation.
Guess I'm committed now. Or should be.
Now, on to basketball! March madness is beginning!
The past few weeks I've been noticing dreams more. Dreaming is good for us. Gives the mind a chance to work things out. This morning, as I deliberately slept in, I noticed three distinct dreams, all of which I can see are related to the current work project and relationships in the work place.
In one, I am heatedly arguing with my boss, just trying to get her to tell me what she really wanted when she wasn't pleased with what I did. Can we spell performance anxiety? While we haven't had such an argument in real life, there HAVE been instances in the past few months when I made a calming statement about we can only do what we can in a day... only to be countered by the threat of mandatory (unpaid) overtime in the future.
At the moment I can't remember the specifics of the other two, but they are in similar vein... you know the ones where you forget you had a test in school... and wake up to find not only do you have one, but you're late for it? (In fact, I actually lived that dream on a German oral exam, back in the day.)
The deal with dreams like this is that they are seldom the reality. They are our minds working out the anxieties... you wake up, say "whew! Glad that was a dream!" and move on refreshed with your day. What I have observed in the waking life is that of the anxieties I imagine, few really come to pass... because they spur me to adjust, make plans, and get moving.
That's the sedentary job "get things done" kind of moving, though. And I started to ponder: every time I have been successful in taking good care of myself physically, nutrition, exercise, etc., it has been because I made it my TOP priority.
Sometimes it is easier than others to MAKE it the top priority. When things are going smoothly at work, it's easier to make the healthy habits tops. When a bigger issue (like a deployed son) makes work seem like a minor stress... well, then it is ALSO easier to make the healthy habits a top priority. After all, I'm taking care of me so he can do what he needs to do and not worry about his mu-ther.
But now work IS the top stresser. I am having to re-program my personality all over again... to remind myself that I don't have to do it all, or sacrifice self care.
Show of hands... how many of you out there struggling to find time to take care of yourselves hated group work in school? Of those of you holding your hands up, how many of you used to hog all the work of the group, just to make sure your group would get an A? Yeah? Really? How many of you took work away from someone else because they weren't doing it (or weren't doing it fast enough to please you)? If you did, did you do that work yourself?
Now let's move on to parenthood: how many of you "helped" with your kids' homework to the extent of almost doing it for them? How many of you let them take on their own responsibility, and live with the consequences? How many of you cleaned their rooms, rather than making them live with the mess they created?
So... back to my current pep talk. If we, as a group, fail to reach our goal... it's NOT my job to try to plug every gap. It *is* my job to take good care of my health so I can do my part, not the entire project.
Laughing at my dreams, but learning from them... this is going to be a great day! Spark a great one yourselves, people. For you are worth it. And LIFE is good!

By far the worst traffic problem is on northbound Hwy. 169 where it's taking 30 to 35 minutes to get from County Road 101 to 494. That's due to a road construction project at Anderson Lakes Pkwy.
You'll find some slowing on southbound 35W from County Road D to Hwy. 280. There's a vehicle in the ditch on 35W at Hwy. 36.
Drivers are hitting the brakes on southbound 94 from Lowry Avenue to the Lowry Hill Tunnel as speeds are at 40 miles per hour.
Northbound 35W is tight from 31st Street to 94 in downtown Minneapolis.

Rating Change #9
Regency Energy Partners LP (RGP) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, weak operating cash flow and poor profit margins.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- REGENCY ENERGY PARTNERS LP has improved earnings per share by 42.9% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, REGENCY ENERGY PARTNERS LP turned its bottom line around by earning $0.29 versus -$0.17 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.56 versus $0.29).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 97.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $14.54 million to $28.68 million.
- RGP, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 0.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 12.5%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $46.13 million or 27.63% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
- In its most recent trading session, RGP has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.

It is important to use the right font size on your blog. You have to use a font that is not too large or small so that readers can access your written content–the most important piece of your blog. Come up with a perfect balance; it shouldn't be so big that it overwhelms the page, and not so tiny that your viewers need to squint in order to see the text. Commenting on other blogs can get your own blog noticed. Google Reader is a great way to organize and manage other interesting but related blogs. Comment on these regularly, when there is something you want to divulge.
Make sure that all of your posts are highly relevant to your blog topic. Making a low-quality post simply to meet a schedule or swell your post count is not worth it. Readers can usually tell the difference; they are not going to keep visiting your site and keep reading content they feel is useless. When beginning a blog, start with several high-quality posts that introduce both you and the topic of your blog. That information should come first. You can include the reasons you are blogging about your topic, any personal history that you perceive as relevant, and pictures or videos, if you desire. If you don't want to get too personal, you don't have to post an actual photo of yourself, but be sure the photos and illustrations you post are representative of you and the point of view you want to present.
There is no better time to start your blog than now. While success is not guaranteed, and it takes time to develop a readership, some do better than others. The above advice offers several proven ways for increasing the audience, and by extension, the success of your blog.
Writing a list of topics that you can blog about is a good idea so that you are not left scrambling at the last minute trying to figure something to say. You will be organized and your users will not feel that you are just rambling on for no reason.
Spread your writing across the Internet. This way you will attract as many readers as you can. Never put limits on your avenues to success. Multiple posting locations will help you reach more readers for less work. Use every outlet at your disposal. If you'd like to attract more people to your blog, try taking advantage of social networking sites. Make a Facebook page and then post links that direct people to your blog. You can also use Twitter by tweeting some interesting blog posts. Avoid going overboard with this so that people do not feel as if you are spamming them. However, links that are strategically placed can build both traffic and readership. In this article, you've found many ways you can make your blog more efficient, no matter what you're blogging about. These tips add value to your blogging experience for you and your readers. Use your new knowledge to ensure that your blog stands out from all the rest!
Font size is an important consideration of your blog. Your content must be legible to the bulk of your readers without them having to change the font size themselves. The key is to find something that is not so large that it overpowers your pages, but not so small that readers must strain their eyes to see it.
If you are writing a religious or political blog, you need to make sure that you are not letting any bias that you have show. It is important, that if you are particularly thought-minded one way or another, that you do not openly clash with people of different beliefs to you. However, you probably do not want your blog to have a reputation for censorship.
Giving away stuff is a good way to attract attention. Everyone loves getting something for free, and it does not have to be something big. Give away freebies whenever you can and you will be payed back nicely. If you pepper your blog with frequent freebies, then readers will check back often.
Many people online are lazy, so your content must stand out. Catch their attention by creating interesting titles and visually appealing headings. Bullet points and well-defined paragraphs can also help because they make your blog easy to read.
One of the most important things you can do as a blogger is post new content frequently. Good blogs generally post at least once each day. If you are intimidated by having to write something new every day, consider writing enough posts for five or six weeks before you let your blog go live. When you're getting writer's block, you can use posts like these to help fill some of the gaps.

is generally impaired to a much lesser extent than free recall. Impairment of verbal fluency (the ability to rapidly generate words meeting specific phonological or semantic criteria) and, to a lesser extent, confrontation naming (the ability to retrieve the names of objects) are often associated with memory impairment. Decreases in word fluency are common, whereas decreases in verbal comprehension are less common.4
A study of 44 MS patients found that on tests of cognitive performance designed to measure planning skills tests the MS group performed on average significantly worse than controls.8 However, this was due largely to deficits among chronic progressive, as opposed to relapsing-remitting patients. Another caveat is that this was a timed test, so that in addition to planning skills, information processing speed would have influenced performance, which would likely bias the results since this is often affected in MS patients.
The time course of cognitive changes in MS is highly variable, although they appear to occur very early in the disease, often before the onset of other symptoms. Different types of cognitive change can appear in different sequences in different patients, and few studies have documented changes over time in individual patients. In one study, 50 patients were tested early in the disease (on average, 19 months after clinical onset) and again 4.5 years later.4 Initial tests revealed statistically significant deficits in verbal memory and abstract reasoning relative to controls, with similar results in the follow-up tests. The difference in average scores between patients and controls was about 10 percent. However, the difference in variability was much more striking. The variability in scores for the MS group was consistently greater than for controls, and in 7 out of 15 cases the variance of the MS group was more than twice that of the controls. This suggests that the cognitive performance of many of the MS patients was not measurably affected, whereas others were substantially affected. A simple analysis of group differences is not sufficient to answer this question. This study also illustrates the value of using individual patients as their own controls.
Cognitive and neurological deficits do not appear to develop in parallel, at least not in patients whose disease is still in its early phase.4 Disease duration is not a good predictor of cognitive function in MS, but disease course influences the likelihood of cognitive impairment. Chronic progressive patients tend to do more poorly on neuropsychological tests than relapsing-remitting patients (reviewed in 2001 by Fischer55). Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores and specific neurological symptoms are not correlated with cognitive deficits.8,53,134 The EDSS is shown in Appendix D. Despite this, clinicians consis-

Life was going along pretty while the last few months until the holidays got close! And of course I got sick! And now the energy that I've had for 4 months has gone out the window and I'm chasing after it with everything I have.
Felt much better today! Got up at 6:50am WITHOUT an alarm, which is a good sign as I've been getting up between 5 and 6:30am for the last 3 months. Bouncing out of bed, with energy to spare. After the last 7 years of sitting at the table or on the couch reading, the loss of energy the last 2 weeks has been pretty scary, but I've decided NOT to panic since both hubby and daughter now have the same garbage I've had with the same complaints of ZERO energy and feeling death warmed over would be an improvement! I know I'm a horrible person to be somewhat happy that the 2 of them feel like I did last week! BUT
I've been very concerned the last few days that it was a return of the old me instead of a nasty old virus!
God answered my prayers in a unique way, but He did answer them in a reassuring manner that leaves little doubt that it's NOT a return of the old me, just a virus that refuses to leave the comfort of my body! UGH!!!
I've have spent the majority of my life trying to make friends and keeping them. Most end up of making some strong bonds with each other and I end up being the one with her face pressed against the window looking in and wishing I too could be one of them. It never happens but I keep trying!
For the 3 years I've been meeting with a group of mothers of of kids that my son graduated with in 2006. The kids are still very close and had felt that I was creating a bond with them. I should of known when I kept hearing conversations of things that had been happening that others already knew that the others had created a much stronger bond that did not include me. I kept plugging away HOPING that I would eventually be accepted as the rest had been. I have finally accepted that it won't happen especially as I have out and out been lied to when I tried to express my feelings in an email to them this past week.
I've cried a few times over this. Railed over it. And cried some more and sometime came to the conclusion that if I have to fight to be accepted it's not worth it. I want to be accepted because of WHO I am not because of who my son is! Also I do not want to harm in any way the relationship they have with my son. The two relationships are totally separate and it's up to Kevin to decide how he wants to deal with them from today on not me!
I have FOUR graduation parties today and my girlfriend is going with me as my husband is out of town for the weekend. She has been there for me for 15 years! No matter what, no matter the situation she has ALWAYS be there! I may not have many friends but the ones I do have STICK and are long standing and solid!
I have decided to LAUGH today and swim in the kind and laughter of Sue's friendship! It's been steady and wonderful and I couldn't ask for a bonding that was stronger or more enduring!
There is nothing worse than having bits and pieces of your life fall apart and then instead of losing weight find out you've added another 20 pounds and NONE of your summer clothes fit! Then on top of that your daughter is graduating high school AND has broken up with her boyfriend of 10 months and is disintegrating right before your eyes! AND to and the cherry on top of all this misery the neurologist informs you that there's no nerve issues causing the numbness and pins and needles in your fingers and hand and go back to your doctor. Idiot doesn't get within 10 feet and doesn't even do a physical check of the hand yet says it maybe tendinitis but go to your doctor and find out!
I joined Sparks in late November. Did really well until just before Christmas when I had a MAJOR reaction to Cymbalta. OF course my reaction can't be a NORMAL one. Ohhh nooooo! Mine wasn't even listed! Ended up with super swollen feet. Turns out my blood vessels would close and not open properly to allow the blood to circulate. Ended up having to have my feet raised above my heart for 5 days. There goes the exercising and of course I never got back on track!
Then I hit the doldrums. This time I was smart. Decided to crochet instead of reading! Made two afghans for my couch and love seat in 3 weeks, Started another one and my pinkie and ring finger on my left hand including half the palm went numb, times pins and needles or extreme pain. Stopped crocheting until the EMG in late March. No nerve damage. Neurologist was a**! Said it maybe tendinitis and go back to my doctor. Didn't physically check the hand and give the diagnosis. Oh nooo that would have meant actually touching me!
Since then I have finished two afghans and almost have two more done! And NO I haven't been back to the doctor and YES still having problems with the hand. Figure since I have fibro and it's been progressive and aggressive the last few years it's just ONE MORE THING TO ADD TO THE LIST OF MYSTERIOUS THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG!!!!!!!!!
My beautiful, wonderful, happy daughter is no more! She broke up with her boyfriend in March and has fallen apart in front of my eyes and there is NOTHING I can do! She graduated from high school June 6th and we and her party June 7th. The week before half the time I couldn't even reach her on the cell phone! She was NO help with planning or prepping for the party! In September we had planned to do all this together and when the time came she was no where to be found. Body, spirit and soul where in mourning! Finally last week I had it out with her. Asked her if torturing herself and drinking herself stupid was working for her! Also let her know that the knowing one she was punishing was herself because HER certainly didn't care or even know she was doing it! Also told her I loved her very much and would ALWAYS love her, but I didn't have to always LIKE her and at that moment in time and the weeks prior I didn't like her or what she had become!Asked her if she even liked herself or who she was becoming. She surprised me when she said NO! She's much better this week and is actually starting to put herself back together! Hopefully this is a start to a new Kelly and not just a reprieve!!!!
They increased my Neurotin last winter and I GAINED 20 pounds on top of what I already weighed! Then to top it off I'm having a MAJOR problem with water weight gain! We were getting ready to go to a number of grad parties on Saturday. I looked in the mirror and FREAKED when I saw my arms! They were HUGE!!! Then on Sunday I looked again and they had SHRUNK and yesterday they had shrunk even more! Of course my right foot is still TWICE has big as my left and I will have to wear those dang elastic stockings and it's HUMID in Minnesota!
That's just the highlights of the last 6 months! Haven't even hit the low lights! BUT I now have my head out of my *** which is a good thing and will write another blog on the low lights!
We started the holidays on Tuesday on my side of the family. What a disaster! My sister in law of 27 years told my brother that she didn't want to be there becuase of ME! Now it's a loooong story of her controlling the family and ruing many Christmas's. This years she decided to blame me for it! Now I am unaware of this for half the evening. I just knew she was in her bitch mode and that it was best for me to stay away from her so I did. I helped my little niece and nephew pass out presents and the gave the presents from my daughter who couldn't be there because she had to work. She had given all the uncles and the grandparents grad pics. When I passed them out the SIL from hell gave me a dirty look. Of course I was the only one who saw with possibly her daughter who will never admit it! I made the comment to her she could accept or ignore it it was up to her! I then went outside so that I wouldn't have a negative impact on my parents. My husband, son and I had already been ignored the majority of the evening which was already bothering me, then my brother grabs me and starts shaking me trying to get me to take the blame for his wife's attitude!
I have pretty much kept my mouth shut for 27 years at the request of my mother so I have no idea where she's getting that she wanted to stay home because of ME!
I do know I'm tired of feeling like a nobody in my own family!They make sure that any family events are mentioned to my folks and passed on to us too late for us to attend. We have never received invitations to my young niece and nephew's birthday parties. Yes we live 3.5 hours away but I still considered us family. Though my kids have mentioned that the last few years that when we go up that they feel ignored and not accepted as part of the family.
It hurts to know that one person can have so much control over a family! I can't even talk to my mom about it because she always defends the SIL!
I have to find positive things to do and work my way through this because there is NO ONE in my family I can go to. Which I find even sadder and makes the hurt even worse.
I have been looking for a some kind of support system for years. One that doesn't pick and choose according to who you're friends are or your personality traits, but according to your needs and hopefully something that I can offer in return. And I have a lot to offer. I'm not a truly needy person, just sometimes I do need to have to vent or just have someone "listen" while I ramble because that's the way I sometimes solve problems.
In my many attempts of reaching out I have shot down, found wanting or just down right ignored. Have never figured out how that was considered supportive. See I didn't have the right credential:friends,connnections,personality or characteristics that the people in these groups were looking for to connect with. Now in my naivet� I've always thought that the main goal was to reach out. Not true. Until NOW!
Since joining Sparks I have finally found what I've been looking for years. The support that I need and the ability to give the support that I also need. For me it's a two way street. I need to be able to do both. Sparks has so many support groups and so many people that there's no way I could possibly be overlooked because there's someone out there that I will connect with or will connect with me. It's a win-win all the way around.
What makes it possible is the shear magnitude of people who are involved with Sparks and their diverse interests. I have found groups with the same health issues, hobbies and reading habits. People who are struggling with getting into a new mind set regarding exercise and how to ease the body into it when dealing with physical limitations without any prejudgement! And that is a very refreshing notion!
I had almost given up finding people who accept me for just being me. Then I answered a My Points point value. I'm mean what could it hurt! I'd earn 25 points for signing up and there was nothing that said I had to do anything with it. The sign up was free. So I signed up thinking I' just ignore like I have so many other things I've signed up for just to earn My Points. then i started surfing threw! Changed my mind pretty quickly when I saw that a diet and exercise plan was set up for me and that I had to keep my accountable. And there were CHALLENGES! And the SUPPORT groups! Oh my! Took me hours! So I signed up thinking I'd just get the customary form welcome. Oh was I surprised to see welcomes on My Spark page and GOODIES!I've been here a week and my goodies have grown and my comment are now 28! And to me that is awesome because that means people are seeing my posts and commenting on my page and I'm accepted for being ME! I even wrote a Blog. Wrote it to put my thoughts down regarding goals, hoping it would touch others, not really counting on it as my thoughts haven't mattered to others on support groups in the past. OH BOY! YOU READ IT!!! AND LIKED IT! I was surprised and amazed at the responses to the Blog!
In closing I just want to say THANK YOU for all the support and reaching out that you do to all those on SparkPeople! You have shown me that my eternal optimism was not misplaced and that it was possible to find the kind of support system that I had always dreamed of but had never found until now!

By outlining the alternatives for today and the future, it gives an extensive overview on nuclear energy, solar thermal and photovoltaics, solar fuels, wind power, ocean energies and other renewables, highlighting the increasing importance of electricity and the long-term perspectives of a hydrogen-based economy. An excellent source of updated and carefully documented information on the entangled aspects of the energy issue, this book is a guide for scientists, students and teachers looking for ways out of the energy and climate crisis, and the problems and disparities generated during the fossil fuel era"--Provided by publisher.

NHL Commissioner talks hockey with Cornell students
Gary Bettman '74 visits the ILR School
"Nothing is more important than the relationships with your players". This was a prevailing theme in NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's discussion with Cornell students and faculty during his visit to the ILR School November 10.
Bettman, whose appearance was sponsored by Cornell's ILR Sports Management Club, graduated from the ILR School in 1974. He discussed his path from Cornell to the National Hockey League as well as the nature of labor relations in professional sports.
After graduating from Cornell, Bettman went to law school at New York University (NYU) and worked for a law firm in New York City. He went to work for the National Basketball Association in the early 1980s at "a time when sports business was in its infancy". He served as general counsel and was instrumental in implementing the salary cap currently used by the NBA.
In 1993, he was elected commissioner of the NHL and led the league through two work stoppages. He oversaw the restructuring of the NHL's collective bargaining agreement to include a salary cap. The cap, he said, allows smaller-market teams to keep their best players and has led to improved competition throughout the league. In his opinion, "caps…are the only way to do it."
The Q&A session that followed his presentation included a lengthy discussion about NHL policies, some of the issues currently facing the league, and what the future holds for professional hockey.
Bettman talked about his controversial decision to sign a television contract with the Versus network. Although he was criticized for this deal due to the public's lack of familiarity with the network, Bettman maintains that the network has been growing steadily and will continue to grow, and that he made the right choice. He also pointed out the NHL's creative use of other media outlets, particularly the internet, making it possible for fans to watch games, get highlights, and track their favorite teams.
Bettman said it is possible collective bargaining talks will be re-opened in 2008. He noted that the league has set revenue and attendance records every year since the 2004 lockout and is on pace to set a new record this season. The NHL may face some challenges ahead, but, he added, "the future has never been brighter."

Patrick Reusse has been covering sports in the Twin Cities since 1968. He has been a Star Tribune sports columnist since 1988. His sportswriting credo is twofold: 1. God will provide an angle; 2. The smaller the ball, the better the writing.
The United States Hockey League became an all-junior league in the fall of 1979. The Bloomington Junior Stars were an original member. Gary Shopek and John Brandt were playing for that team in the winter of 1982-83.
The pair had the exact same birthday – Nov. 23, 1962. Brandt was at Edison and a year ahead of Shopek at Patrick Henry.
Tom Hirsch had been a grade behind Shopek at Henry. He was a top recruit and went directly to the Gophers. The same had occurred with Rick Erdall from Washburn.
Here were Shopek and Brandt, one year later, still playing juniors and hoping for a chance to play Division I hockey.
"We were in our hotel room on a road trip to Iowa and playing music on a boom box,'' Brandt said. "That Styx song, 'Come Sail Away,' came on. There are a couple of lines in there, "We lived happily forever, so the story goes; But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold.'
"Gary listened to that, and looked at me and said, 'Brandtie, when are we going to get the pot of gold, like Hirsch and Erdall did? Why can't we have the pot of gold?'
"To Gary, playing for the Gophers … that was his pot of gold.''
There was a summer league being played at the Roseville Arena called the Junior Olympic League. It was for elite high school players, juniors and collegians on summer break.
John Gilbert, the former Star Tribune hockey writer, was a coach there. "The coaches could protect players from one summer to the next, and John kept bringing back Shopek,'' Brandt said. "He loved Gary as a player, and he convinced [Gophers coach] Brad Buetow to come out and watch him.''
Hirsch was going to be with the U.S. Olympic team for the winter of 1983-84. Buetow offered Shopek, Hirsch's former Henry teammate, a chance to walk on.
"Before that, Gary was going to Hamline,'' Brandt said. "But he made it to the Gophers and there he was, that first winter, playing on the power play with Erdall.''
Shopek would play 173 games for the Gophers. He had six goals and 35 assists for 41 points as a junior, and 12 goals and 31 assists for 43 points as a senior.
"Gary's nickname at Henry was 'Slips,' because he was so slippery on the ice, but we called him 'Rat,' for the obvious reason,'' Brandt said. "Gary was the ultimate rink rat.
"I went to St. Mary's in Winona the same fall that Gary started at the U. I was home one of those winters and we were going to go out one night after Gophers practice. He still was living at home. I went to his house at 7 o'clock. His Mom came to the door and I said, 'Where's Gary?'
"She said, "Where do you think? He's at the rink.' I went to Folwell Park and he was down there by himself, a Gopher player, shooting pucks.''
Shopek's vehicle was almost as notorious as his love for being at the rink. "He drove an old, gold Malibu,'' Brandt said. "Gary was always the driver when we went from north Minneapolis to Bloomington for Junior Stars practice. He had a small replica of a Stanley Cup dangling from the back window. Everything was hockey with him.''
Shopek died this week at age 51 from esophageal cancer. He was never married. His extended family was the generation of hockey people from the '70s, '80s and beyond in the Twin Cities.
There was a benefit for Gary a few weeks back and the turnout was huge. The same is probable for Saturday, when his funeral Mass is held at 11 a.m. (with a visitation at 10 a.m.) at St. Bridget's, in the old Henry neighborhood
