The GOP needs to reboot
After Barack Obama's re-election was securely in hand, an alarmingly disconcerting trend emerged in the way the America people voted for Mitt Romney.
Almost a quarter of voters were unmarried women. Out of those, 67% voted for Obama. For Latinos, the statistic rises over 70%. And for African-Americans, it's over 90%.
This is not an anomaly. This is a bright, pulsing, neon sign pointing to a problem: the Republican party is suffering a steadily accelerating erosion of their party's base.
So what's the take-away?
Unless the GOP can re-boot what their party stands for (or use the new but already-clich�d political buzzword: evolve), it's over for the Republicans.
The Grand Old Party is neither grand, nor has it been a party for the last two elections. What used to be joked about in political circles has now become a truism that has hog-tied the party that started with Lincoln. This party, for the most part, overly appeals to represent the least favorable and viable demographic: old�white�men.
And that is a death knell for a party that within the past 20 years has gone from proud and transformative to struggling to stay relevant.
Now the question is, how does the Republican Party reclaim their grandeur and not become irrelevant, outdated, and wind up like the Federalist, Bull Moose, Know-Nothing or Free-Soil Parties; as a footnote on a Wikipedia page.
If the Republican Party is to survive, the answer lies in recent history with the adoption of two similar tactics of a GOP icon (Ronald Reagan) and the most popular living Democrat (Bill Clinton). As impossible as it sounds, both presidents were successful because of a modern political concept that Clinton-adviser Dick Morris labeled in the 1990's as "triangulation."
Simply put, steal the other side's idea and co-opt it as your own and take the credit. Clinton knew his chances as a second term wasn't looking probable until Dick Morris suggested that he, Clinton, take an issue from the Republicans and work with then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and pass legislation to make both parties look good. Clinton chose Welfare Reform. And without it, and a strengthening economy, Bill Clinton would have ranked slightly above Jimmy Carter as a one-term bust of a leader.
Ronald Reagan granted over two million illegal immigrants amnesty in 1986 because he saw that immigration was becoming a problematic, divisive political football, that has now blossomed into a full clanging-gong, go-to, easy, hot-button issue du jour of some politicians. E.g., Jan Brewer, Joe Arpaio, Russell Pearce.
If current Speaker of the House John Boehner truly means what he said last week, that the GOP is ready to tackle the immigration issue in a truly bipartisan way, he must use the strategy of Clinton with the spirit of Reagan.
Shakespeare once wrote, "There is nothing new under the sun." The Republican party doesn't have to re-invent their conservative political wheel. All the GOP has to do is steal an idea, (i.e., Comprehensive Immigration Reform) re-write it in their own words, and tell the American people it was their own idea. Then sit back and take the credit.
Because the American people have short memories and all is fair in love and war but especially politics.

I volunteer because it was information on this website that prompted me to go in to the doctor's office - a decision that may have saved mine and my twin daughters' lives, and certainly has impacted them forever.
I found the PF in the early morning hours of June 18, 2003, while doing an internet search for preeclampsia - I had been diagnosed the day before. I was in too much pain to lay down and sleep, but I wasn't even considering going to the hospital. I'd called my OB's office that afternoon, and the nurse told me that since they hadn't called me about my lab results, that I was 'probably fine' and 'there was no need to call again'.
But after reading some of the posts here, I realized I did need be seen - and quickly. And as it turned out, my labs had been misplaced. I had severe PE and HELLP, and was hospitalized by noon that day.
These forums are a valuable resource, and I feel compelled to try to do what little bit I can to help keep them going, as long as they are needed.

I drew a Zone X-10 tag in California for the regular (not late) season. Any information on that area would be appreciated. It is adjacent to Hwy 395, and extends west to the Kern River. Mostly in wilderness areas. Thanks.

I drew a Zone X-10 tag in California for the regular (not late) season. Any information on that area would be appreciated. It is adjacent to Hwy 395, and extends west to the Kern River. Mostly in wilderness areas. Thanks.
I've hunted X10 3 times years ago. last time around 1999. Before that they called Kennedy Meadows the deer factory. Probably in the 70's to 80's. Wasn't when I was there. They have had a low kill for quite awhile. Once we hiked up a trail on the east side out of Olancha off hwy 395. The east side is the steep side as you probably know ! I was sweating so bad when we got near the top that when we stopped I started shivering so bad I think I was going hypothermic. I unpacked my heavy jacket to put on. It was nearly 6 thousand ft. difference from bottom to top. Coming down it was so steep and with the weight in our packs, I still have a bad left hip from it. Popped all the way down and wore the cartledge in my hip socket or something. The other two times we came in from the west side. Piece of cake. I forget the wilderness you hike into from the road on the west side of mtn (Horseshoe Medows?) but I saw deer in there. Bring a little fishing pole. Don't know the name of the stream or if part of Kern River but it was full of trout. There was a wooden bridge you could cross to hunt other side. Not much help but I'm sure there will be other's who know more about it.I bet Colorado Cowboy does!
He's hunted the X12/X9A/X9B areas before they were split up into zones.
Post a thread in the "California" section also. Might help. Maybe I should off posted my X12 deer thead here instead ...?
Thanks for the information. I have hunted X-12 a few times and X-9A once a few years ago. My last hunt in each of those zones was during record heat waves! I think the west access is through the Golden Trout Wilderness. I will bring my fishing pole. This will be a handgun hunt for me. I have tags/hunts for Blacktail, Whitetail and Mule Deer this year, and I am trying to get all 3 species in the same yeay with a handgun. It has been fun trying! Thanks again.
I've hunted it a few times, before it was broke up into all the zones they have today. Used to be only early & late seasons ICoastal & Inland). Hunted up in the Kennedy Meadows area accessd from a dirt road that went north between Walker Pass and Onyx of hwy 178. I also hunted it from the Kernville side via a USFS road (Before the bridge crossing the river to the east side). I think it was called Horse Meadows and yes there are Goldens there in the stream. Used to be the only access to catch Goldens that I knew of that you could actually drive to! Used to be lots of bears there too. Hunting was ok, but not great as I remember, thats why I've only hunted it a few times.
I knew some friends who hunted east of Porterville, north of there. They did pretty good, not sure what zone that is in today.
I remember now, Walker pass I think, is the road up toward Kennedy Meadows from Hwy 395. Kernville was the town that was near the Wilderness (Golden Trout Wilderness) that we hiked into from. That was way back between 1997 and 1999 somewhere.
The river ( small river like a creek was so full of trout (golden) I was going crazy !
Thanks for replying for him CC !
Hey Sawfish, I killed my first buck in X10 when I was 16 years old. Back then I did not have a vehicle nor did my family. After lots of begging and crying (by me), we were dropped off by my sisters boyfriend in a Ford Mustang Fastback!! They dropped me and my brother (15 yrs old) off at the beginning of the 4x4 jeep road past the Black Rock Ranger Station, with just our back packs full with a weeks worth of top Romen Noodles!! We hiked to the base of Monache Mtn and hunted the surrounding areas like Deer Mountain, and Monache Meadows. I bought a Chevy 4x4 the following year. I saw most of the bucks on Monache Mtn/Meadows. I missed 3 before I filled my tag that first year. My brother missed two himself what a blast. I cant believe my mother let us do it!!!
I have not been up there in a long time, as a matter of fact my brother and I were planning a reunion hunt this year and almost put in for that unit again. We decided to wait until next year.....I have heard that the old 4x4 jeep road we used to drive back in to Monache Mountain/Meadows is now closed and you have to hike back in there like we did that first year. Maybe thats why the success rate has dropped so much. I'll do some checking and let you know what I find.
My own opinion is the gov't agencies don't want to do their job and don't have the $$$ either. They can't maintain the roads so they shut them dowm. Also the ATV use has increased and a lot of these users are going anywhere their machine will take them, regardless of rule. Clinton era roadless rules are the basis for lots of this too.
Sorry... got my rant over with!!
Thanks, Guys. I am not as young as I used to be, but I do not mind walking a bit. Just bought a new pair of mountain boots to replace my old Red Wing Mountaineers that I have had for 25 years. Not too enthusiastic over these new fangled plastic and nylon boots. Everybody is always screwing with public land access. My Wife's cousin went to check out a piece of BLM land a few years in Colorado, and found a locked gate. He took his map and went to the BLM office in Grand Junction, and found out that a local rancher had padlocked the gate to keep out "foreigners" (nonresidents). Got it reopened in time for us to hunt opening day!
Found a few locked gates in CA, but did not have time to mess with it. I might be surprised, but I do not expect to see too many folks in X-10 once you get 250 yards from the road. Not too many walkers these days. From the TV, I suppose you need a plush truck, with a fancy stereo, and a knock out hunting partner of the opposite sex with teeth so bright and white, they would spook a deer at 600 yards! Yes, sir. Times are a changing (rant over for me).
I suspected there might be a few bears in X-10, and would be happy to see one, as I have been out of chili meat for a while. Anyway, all info. is greatly appreciated.
Don, the only way to kill anything with a handgun is to leave your rifle at home! I almost wore the bluing off a Super Blackhawk looking for the perfect chance. Never fired a shot at a deer, until I left the rifle at home. With rare exception, I have not hunted with a rifle in almost ten years. I bought an Encore pistol in 30/06 and an extra 25/06 barrel a few years ago, and have killed animals further away with them than I ever did with my rifles! Just made things more interesting. I am sending you a PM. Thanks.
I have an old .44 Super Blackhawk that I've had since I was a kid. Shot the heck out of it but never killed anything with it. My freind I used to have long range contest with our 44's. It seems puney campared to my 454 Cassul or 460 S&W ! I was hoping to shoot a pig or two with them before I graduated to deer with them. I keep saying I'm going to use a pistol with my doe tags in Wy. but it always seems they are way out there. Hard enough to stalk loper's. I'll take my 460 S&W to Wy. this year and maybe leave the rifle in camp when I have just doe tags to fill. Get one under the belt so to speak. About 5 yrs. ago I had a great opertunity to shoot a buck in Wy.. I had my Ruger Redhawk 454 w/Burris 1x4 scope. I was a 4 pt. or better year. In Wy. That means a 3 pt. w/eyegaurd even on only one antler is legal. I made a stalk on this buck who was checking out this doe so he was distracted. I was moving in and out of some trees. I got withing 50 yds. and looking through 10x binos he was a 3x3 w/o eyeguards ! I couldn't make any grow. I was pissed. I had that happen once after that with a rifle at around 30 yds. ! A big 3x3 about 26 in wide. No eyegaurds. What a joke. I once shot a little 3x3 with eyegaurds that was probably 3 yrs. younger that the big 3x3 w/o eyegaurds ! Management...
Like Bigshot and C.C. said, Monanche Meadows was famous like Kennedy Meadows in the "old days".
I'll be waiting on the PM. Thanks !

Herd WR Jean-Louis arrested
HUNTINGTON — Marshall wide receiver Angelo Jean-Louis was incarcerated early Tuesday morning and booked into Western Regional Jail.
He was charged with two felony counts fraudulent use of an access device, according to jail and court records.
A criminal complaint obtained from the Cabell County Magistrate's office stated that on April 3, Jean-Louis walked into the 7-11, located on 5th Avenue and 19th Street, and made two purchases with a stolen credit card.
A purchase in the amount of $14.20 was made at 9:08 p.m. while a second purchase in the amount of $11.62 was made at 9:10 p.m. Each purchase accounted for a felony count of fraudulent use of an access device.
Jean-Louis was arrested by Marshall University police and booked into Western Regional Jail at 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
He was arraigned by Cabell County Magistrate Danne Vance later on Tuesday morning, and his bail has been set at $20,000.
The 6-1, 196-pound wide receiver was a four-star recruit out of high school and signed with the Herd out of Fork Union Military Academy in December.
Jean-Louis enrolled at Marshall in January in hopes of getting on the field for spring practice, but was unable to get his grades in order to do so. He was expected to be on the field for the Herd this year and be in the mix at the 'X' wide receiver position, which was vacated by the graduation of Aaron Dobson.
Marshall athletics issued a statement on Tuesday morning in regards to Jean-Louis' arrest.
"We are aware of his situation," the statement said. "We will handle the matter internally and appropriately."

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Swelling is usually a sign of excess fluid buildup or inflammation in the body. Swelling can make you look bloated or distended, and your skin may appear shiny and stretched out. Swelling may be widespread or localized to a particular area of the body, such as the lymph nodes, hands, ankles, tongue or face.
Swelling, or edema, can occur anywhere within the body, including the internal organs, but it is most noticeable on the face, neck, hands, legs, ankles and feet. Edema is classified according to the body part that is affected, such as pulmonary edema (of the lungs), facial edema, and lymphedema (of the lymph nodes).Learn more about the symptoms of ovarian cancer ›

WARRIOR BLEND is green, plastic-free, hypo-allergenic, and suitable for any diet or lifestyle (NOT JUST FOR VEGANS)! Ingredients are Certified kosher (Rabbin Frankforter), Certified Halal (Ligue Islamique du Nord) Raw Pea ProteinA high fiber, low calorie, nutrient dense vegetarian SUPERFOOD, Peas are also a remarkable source of plant-based proteins and amino acids. Protein from peas satisfies all FAO essential amino acid requirements. The amino acids found in peas include Lysine, Arginine, Glutamine, Leucine, Isoleucine & Valine (Branched Chain Amino Acids - BCAAs) Aid in muscle tissue maintenance Comparable to egg and milk proteins BCAAs are higher in pea protein than any other vegetable protein Helps restore nitrogen balance after intense physiological stress Increases muscle mass while reducing body fat during intense exercise Improves vasodilation and promotes a healthy heart Assists in maintaining lean body mass Facilitates calcium absorption (promoting healthy bone development in children) Boosts the immune system: producing antibodies, hormones, enzymes, collagen, and tissue-repair Low in sulfur proteins (sulfur proteins speed up the aging process) Increases metabolism and satiety (helping you to feel "full") Natural tonic for preventing and treating high blood pressure Promotes healthy kidney function The proteins naturally present in peas exist in an inactive state and must be activated by special enzymes to become bio-available. Simply consuming peas will not provide the same health benefits as using this purified pea protein extract. Raw Cranberry ProteinCranberry protein is unique in that it is the only 100% plant protein that contains 25% protein, including all essential amino acids. Cranberry protein is extracted using a cold-pressed technology that preserves natural balances and naturally occurring fatty acids, which increases the absorption of the other nutrients. Powerful detoxifier and diuretic (flushes out the kidneys) Treats bladder, kidney and urinary problems Boosts immune system, protecting against influenza and the common cold Increases "good" cholesterol (HDL) and reduces "bad" cholesterol (LDL) Improves circulation and reduces risk of heart disease Helps to relieve stress & depression Treats skin conditions such as: acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, burns & wounds Also considered one of the best remedies for REDUCING CELLULITE Raw Hemp ProteinHempseed is a complete protein source and the only food capable of sustaining life in the absence of other foods. Whole food source Considered a "complete" protein, contains all eight essential amino acids Contains Edestin - a plant protein only found in hemp, similar to proteins found in the human body, Promotes DNA & cellular growth High concentrations of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in ideal 1:3 ratio Helps stabilize blood sugar Rich in fiber Absorbed faster than any other protein Easy to digest due to its lack of oligosaccharides and trypsin inhibitors Promotes healthy liver function Reduces the risk of heart disease Bolsters the immune system and protects against chronic disease Aids in digestion Contains gamma-linolenic acid - good fat, needed for skin, hair, eyes, nails, and cells in general Good source of iron, calcium, and a variety of other nutrients, some of which include B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin E Coconut MCT'sCoconuts contain essential fatty acids in a unique structure that allows the fat to be burned as energy rather than stored as body fat. The fat in coconuts is composed of MCTs or medium chain triglycerides. MCTs require less energy and fewer enzymes to break down for digestion Digested and absorbed quickly Used to treat digestive or metabolic conditions Improve the absorption of vitamins and minerals Improves general well-being Athletes use MCTs to improve performance and control weight Improves mental clarity Increases lean body mass/ decreases body fat Helps alleviate candida Abundant source of lauric acid (fortifies the immune system to fight disease) Speeds healing and recovery from illness and injury FenugreekPlant in the family Fabaceae, Fenugreek is used both as an herb (the leaves) and as a spice (the seed). The leaves and sprouts are also eaten as vegetables. Fenugreek seeds are a rich source of the polysaccharide galactomannan. They are also a source of saponins. Other bioactive constituents of fenugreek include mucilage, volatile oils, and alkaloids. Lowering Blood Sugar: supplements containing fenugreek are thought to be effective at lowering blood sugar levels. How fenugreek is able to lower blood glucose levels is not yet understood. Lowering Cholesterol: This effect is thought to be due to the presence of chemicals called steroidal saponins, which prevent cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream Relieving Constipation - rich in fiber In Traditional Chinese Medicine under the name Hu Lu Ba, considered to warm and tonify kidneys, dispersing cold and alleviating pain GlucomannanSoluble fibers such as Glucommannan and Konjac root fibers offer many health-promoting benefits through their ability to form a soft gel with water. Help lower blood cholesterol Slow glucose absorption Lowers the Glycemic index Promotes regular bowel movements Most viscous of all known dietary fibers May promote weight loss in obese adults even in the absence of a calorie-restricted diet Creates a feeling of satiety or fullness through its water-binding effects By creating a thick gel, glucomannan delays gastric emptying and slows the release of sugar into the bloodstream, which helps to lower levels of insulin and blood glucose Improves blood-lipid profiles and can lower systolic blood pressure Helps move waste products out of the body, discouraging the growth of cancer or other illnesses LeucineHaving appropriate Muscularity is important to the health and longevity of humans and animals. Protein is essential to maintain tissue, organ, and muscle fitness. One particular protein or amino acid seems to be the star player in preserving muscle tissue. That amino acid is Leucine. Luecine helps preserve existing muscle mass and stimulate the growth of new muscle cells Muscles rich in leucine are less susceptible to damage and require less time to recover from injury Prevents muscle wasting Prevents the loss of bone density, energy, strength, and fitness Contributes to increased weight loss Lowers appetite, controlling how the brain regulates metabolism and the feeling of hunger Combines with isoleucine and valine to protect and provide fuel to the muscles, increase endurance levels, and boost energy Aids n maintaining blood sugar levels Increases growth hormone production Based on nitrogen-balance measurements, the requirement for leucine to maintain body protein is 1-3 grams daily. To optimize the anabolic pathway, it has been estimated that the leucine requirement should be about 8g - 16g daily. 3 ounces of Warrior Blend has the protein equivalent of 12 eggs!

They use quality plant-based proteins that are easy to digest, are free from artificial sweeteners, and do not cause the stomach discomfort, bloating, gas, or other ill effects many experience from other protein powders. What is the benefit of sprouted rice?When rice grains are germinated, their nutritional content changes and they retain natural plant enzymes. These enzymes aid digestion of the rice grain. Sprouts are also a good source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. What is the benefit of pea, cranberry, and hemp protein?Peas are a high fiber, low calorie, nutrient dense vegetarian superfood. Peas are also a remarkable source of plant-based proteins and amino acids. Protein from peas satisfies all FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) essential amino acid requirements. Cranberry protein is unique in that it is the only 100% plant protein that contains 25% complete protein, including all essential amino acids. It is also a powerful detoxifier.Hempseed is a complete protein source and the only food capable of sustaining life in the absence of other foods. It's also rich in fiber and omega fatty acids. Can I take more than the suggested size of Classic Protein or Warrior Blend?Yes, but they recommend you do not go over your body's daily recommended protein. Your body generally requires 10-15% of your diet be protein. Can I give Classic Protein or Warrior Blend to my child?Children under the age of two years should not be given the product. They require more fat during this developmental stage. You can use the product in moderation after this age, 1 to 3 times a week About SunwarriorSunwarrior was born on a warm Arizona evening during the Sedona Raw Spirit Festival. Three different men with three different dreams met with one desire, to create a company and a product that benefit mankind and the planet mankind occupies. Nick Stern began juicing in his teens, earning him the nickname "NatureBoy" early on. In his twenties he competed as a body builder and played semi-pro sports. At the time, being an athlete meant consuming massive amounts of animal products and by-products. After his competitive career ended, his body felt toxic, racked with aches and pain. He turned back to a plant-based diet, the pain bled away, and Nick felt a renewed sense of wellness. Denley Fowlke received his first true call to action when he became a father of twin girls just beginning their lives with serious, life-threatening conditions. He and his wife, Jan, embarked on a quest for the knowledge to save their children. Denley learned that many answers to health issues could be found in nutrition and nature. His daughters recovered, but his quest never ended. Brent Hauver's interest in health also began with tragedy when his father died at 53 due to a massive coronary. He was devastated but also enlightened as he focused on his own health. Being overweight, out of shape, and lethargic, he started down a path toward wellness through a vegetarian lifestyle. He turned to a strict vegan diet to further combat illness, but after years of doing so he still felt unhealthy. He knew he needed more protein, something raw, plant-based, alkaline, and easy to digest. The three men combined their dreams, their savvy business personalities, and their environmental consciousness to create Sunwarrior, a company committed to making the best plant-based products while elevating humanity and preserving the planet.

Mexican Salsa Recipe
5 10
In the summertime, I love to make this zippy salsa with fresh tomatoes from my garden instead of the canned. I even have a special pan for roasting the peppers. —Roger Stenman, Batavia, Illinois
- 3 jalapeno peppers
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 1 garlic clove, halved
- 2 cans (one 28 ounces, one 14-1/2 ounces) whole tomatoes, drained
- 4 fresh cilantro sprigs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Tortilla chips
- Heat a small ungreased cast-iron skillet over high heat. With a small sharp knife, pierce jalapenos; add to hot skillet. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until peppers are blistered and blackened, turning occasionally.
- Immediately place jalapenos in a small bowl; cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skins. Remove stems and seeds.
- Place onion and garlic in a food processor; cover and pulse four times. Add the tomatoes, cilantro, salt and jalapenos. Cover and process until desired consistency. Chill until serving. Serve with chips. Yield: 3-1/2 cups.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

How much has the iPhone camera improved over the years?
Camera+ has thrown together some great comparison photos depicting just how much the iPhone camera has improved over the years.
The comparison photos really speak for themselves, and the difference is especially noticeable with the iPhone 4S photos when compared to older models. They even go on to compare with more expensive DSLR cameras for reference. As expected, from the original iPhone to the latest iPhone 4S model, the camera quality has obviously improved immensely.
Feel free to drop into our iPhone 4S pictures forum for even more evidence of how well the iPhone 4S camera performs.

How much has the iPhone camera improved over the years?
They took the pictures from close enough to the subject (the keys) that a focus mechanism is required with a macro choice probably being even better. This makes a great way to show what cameras have close focus but it would have been a better test to include pictures of subjects at more normal distances. Maybe include some challenges such as dim lighting also.
I should have gone to Camera+ and scrolled down before my comment - the cityscapes are a great challenge that does not work to any single fault (like the lack of a focus mechanism in the older iPhones).
naw man engadget has a ton of comparison shots and video. The N8 is not on par with the GS2 or the 4S. Framerate issues in the video and the pictures look dry. GS2 was a close second, video may actually have looked better at times on the GS2.
That explains why my photos looks terrible... I have the 3G, lol.
The turquoise color, and the letter T would suggest Tiffany.
The camera tests are severely flawed though and the site (camera+) appears to be an ad disguised as journalism.

Football Four will capture the debate, quantify the debate, explain the teams that have a case and those that don't, and keep fans apprised of what games mean the most to the postseason every week of the regular season.
It will feature:
- The latest news on the College Football Playoff.
- Weekly expert Playoff Projections of the four teams most deserving of a playoff spot.
- Simulations of the Football Four Playoff Projection by Prediction Machine.
- Collaborations with Dave Bartoo of CFBMatrix.com.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

The Juice Fountain Elite features a patented extra-large circular feed tube that can handle whole fruits and vegetables, which means less chopping and much less prep time than other juicers require. Its ultra-sharp titanium-reinforced cutting disc is surrounded by an Italian-made micro-mesh filter which puts lesser juicers to shame by extracting up to 30 percent more juice and 40 percent more vitamins and minerals. A dual-speed motor adds versatility by juicing hard ingredients like apples or beets at a vigorous 13,000 RPM while extracting liquid from softer fruits and vegetables like cantaloupe and spinach at a relatively gentle 6,500 RPM.
Thanks to the power and convenience of the Breville Juice Fountain Elite, you'll enjoy all the health benefits of drinking fresh homemade juice, while also experiencing the fun and adventure of creating your own juice blends.
Best Used For:
Making healthful, delicious juice from fresh fruits and vegetables.
Why We Love It:
It's the most powerful juicer we've used -- the brawny motor gives us the confidence to be creative and adventurous, and its speed is dazzling. Cleanup is impressively simple, thanks to the extra-large removable pulp container.
- Extra-large 3-inch feed chute
- Stainless steel micro mesh filter basket
- Removable 3-liter capacity pulp container
- 1-liter capacity juice jug with froth separator
- Two-speed electronic control

Every once in a while it soothes the soul to step back and take a look at the bigger picture, so a visit to the nearby Tibetan Buddhist temple makes a most pleasant day trip.
Escape the trappings of everyday life by hiking trails through Peace Park, enjoying the beauty of parrots and macaws in the Garuda Aviary, and touring a temple that looks like it's from the other side of the world.
First of all, know that everyone is welcome at Kunzang Palyul Choling's 72-acre campus — one of the largest communities of ordained practitioners of Buddhism in the country. Buddhism is not a religion of conversion, so KPC is a spiritual haven for everyone, including the casual day-tripper.
KPC was founded by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhama — nee Alice Zeoli — of Brooklyn, N.Y. She is the first Western woman to be recognized as Tulka, or reincarnate Lama and lineage holder, in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Jetsunma is an honorific title associated with Tara — the female Buddha who nurtures, protects and cares for all living beings with boundless compassion.
While many of the rituals and adornments you see here may be new to you, there's a vibe of comfort and familiarity that starts when you pull into the parking lot amid bumper stickers that encourage you to "Visualize Whirled Peas," "Practice Random Acts of Kindness" and "Free Tibet."
The feeling continues when you step up to the door of the roomy Colonial house in rural Montgomery County. But on the other side, a whole 'nother world awaits. A peaceful, welcoming, orderly world. The setting is ideal for this brand of Buddhism that bridges the ancient wisdom of Tibet with the contemporary mind of the West.
The Dharma Room is the educational center, featuring a large sand mandala, two elaborate teaching thrones and several altars, as well as richly colored tonkas — traditional paintings on silk — and numerous sacred texts. The visual impact is dramatic, dashing my preconceived notion of monastic, Zen-like simplicity.
The room is home to an enormous collection of crystals, representing the natural mind with no distractions. The crystals are another example of East-meets-West in this place that seeks to inspire people to improve the world and bring an end to the suffering of all sentient beings.
Nowhere is this mission more evident than in the Prayer Room, where a 24-hour prayer vigil for world peace began in 1985 and has continued unbroken to this day. The vigil is the heartbeat of the temple and will continue until there no longer is a need. Prayer requests may be made in a book outside the door.
Outside, the 36-foot-tall Enlightenment Stupa is a focal point of the campus. Stupas are one of the oldest forms of sacred architecture, built to avert war, end famine and promote general well-being. Visiting is believed to bring spiritual comfort and inspiration, and walking clockwise around them while reciting prayers or mantras is welcome.
More stupas are found across River Road in the serene, wooded setting of Peace Park. Enjoy meditation gardens at the four points of the compass and in the middle of the park, where the 35-foot-tall golden Migyar Dorje Stupa — dedicated to spiritual and physical well being — is located.
At Peace Park, everyone is welcome; it's considered sacred land that's dedicated to the benefit of all beings. The park is open from dawn to dusk, offering a great place to relax, reflect, picnic and walk your leashed dog. Pets, in fact, have a special place at KPC.
Tara's Babies Animal Welfare and the Garuda Aviary were both founded under the guidance of Jetsunma. Tara's Babies is a dog and cat rescue organization that participates in the no-kill movement, and the Garuda Aviary provides sanctuary for abandoned, abused and neglected large birds such as parrots and macaws.
Next to the temple, the Garuda Aviary — usually open from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday afternoons — lends a new understanding about the plight of our unfortunate feathered friends.
Most people purchase large birds for beauty and entertainment, usually with the best of intentions. But the constant screeching and chewing grow old, leading 1.2 million birds to be abandoned annually or to suffer from neglect or abuse. The Garuda Aviary provides a lifelong sanctuary, offering food, stimulation and a loving environment.
On Saturday, the aviary will host a gala event from noon to 4 p.m. Large birds will be on view in the flight cage, and presentations focusing on the plight of the exotic birds will be held. Tours of the temple also will be offered, along with live music by the B-12 Boosters, games for the kids and a variety of vegetarian and nonvegetarian foods.
The gift shop sells incense, wind chimes, meditation cushions and other items. Books on the teachings of Jetsunma and other Buddhist masters also are available. Bring a little feng shui home with you.
Here in the D.C. area, we are pretty good at juggling five balls and a plate in the air at the same time ... with one hand tied behind our backs. Many of us are rabid overachievers, and we kind of like it that way. But a day at Kunzang Palyul Choling is a day to enjoy the unexpected. And that peaceful, easy feeling lingers all the way home.

ELKIN - A young and depleted Lady Elks showed promise against one of the top 2A squads Tuesday night in the season opener.
Playing against last season's Elite 8 qualifier North Surry, Elkin hung tough before falling 48-30 in the first game of the year for both clubs.
"I'm pleased. The girls played hard," head coach Derek Carter explained. "We're a little short on numbers this year, so we really haven't had a scrimmage at practice this year, so that was the first time they played together. We're very young, I only have on senior, but I saw some promise there.
"We did some good things, but we still have some things to work on. We played a really good team," he continued. "We were out-sized obviously, but we kept fighting. We set a goal to get every loose ball. I think we got every loose ball except two. So I hope they're proud."
A scrappy and pesky Elkin side forced three-straight North turnovers to open the game and six in the first quarter alone. But recently crowned volleyball state champs Malaya Johnson and Kristina Rumplasch began to use their size to assert themselves.
Rumplasch scored seven points in the opening quarter as the Lady Hounds grabbed a 13-4 lead after the first quarter of play.
Elkin hung around but never got closer than 10 points at 17-7 early in the second quarter as the advantage grew to as much as 25 at 44-19.
Carrie Brown, Courtney Beals and the Lady Elks battled and forced 17 turnovers on the night but were unable to overcome the hole, falling 48-30.
"Overall, I'm pleased," Carter said. "Tonight was really the first time they all played together, so I'm tickled. If you play hard, good things will happen."
Brown recorded a team-high 10 points on the night, while Beals added nine. Makayla Dimmette pitched in seven.
"Carrie played a good game. Courtney played big today, I'm looking for her to be more aggressive. She's a little too much of a time player sometimes, but she went after it tonight," he added.
The Lady Elks will join the boys time at the Mt. Airy post-Thanksgiving tournament this weekend. Elkin takes on the Lady Bears Friday night at 5:30 p.m. before tipping off against East Surry Saturday at 2 p.m.

Hi there. I just wanted to stop by here to say hello from Tokyo!
I've been a fan since 1994, inspired by their PLAN 9 remixes when the Japanese compilation album "Forecast" was out. I actually happened to be at the in-store live for that album's promotion. Long time ago.
Since then I kept buying 808state albums whenever I found them in a store. It was hard to find their albums in a small American town I used to lived before.
I'm not sure if the 808state members still remember me or not, but I was asked to translate some press release document into Japanese for them, and the "statetostate" album I got from them in return is still my favorite 808 album.
I haven't been very good girl to keep up on updates over the last couple of years, but it doesn't mean I'm not the fan anylonger! I'm glad to come back to this very much improved 808state web page again. It seems like there's not an active registered fan from Japan as far as I netsurfed here. Then I will try to be the one!
What a shame that I missed their play at the club WOMB last summer. I go clubbing there quite often, but I just didn't know they were coming in Tokyo! Hopefully 808state come visit us in Japan in the near future. (Yes, now I moved back in Tokyo, where I can find really good music stores and clubs!)
-- mari.

It's time to put this blog to bed. There are many reasons, not the least of which is that I am in the dissertation phase of my program, and I really ought to devote as much time as possible to that, not this.
Another reason is the "neither fish nor fowl" nature of this blog. I post sporadically on a wide variety of topics, which makes for neither quality writing nor a large readership. Eclecticism can make for a unique online voice, but I haven't worked hard enough to pull that off.
But there's a deeper reason, namely, dissatisfaction with the type of writing I've been doing here. This blog and its predecessor The Ivy Bush has been a place for me to vent. In fact, when I become a community columnist for The Charlotte Observer ten years ago, and they wanted to know which topics I would address, I replied, "Things that make me angry." I've needed an outlet for anger for a long time now, and the past decade has not failed to deliver occasions for anger!
But I realized this weekend that I need to quit venting. After composing the previous post, an admittedly bitter reflection on what's become of our country in the past ten years, I went to church Sunday, and our minister, in her understated and highly effective way, challenged us to let go of bitterness--whether it's directed at the hijackers or at anyone else.
And then I read Josh Marshall's post-9/11 reflections, which made me realize that I went for bitterness because it was the easy option. But the more appropriate option was probably silence. As Marshall notes, what is frustrating beyond measure is that so few people with such simple tools unleashed such a tidal wave of evil. And they died in the act! No opportunity for us to serve out justice. And rooting out a few terrorists from their caves did not render a satisfaction commensurate with our rage. So there was Iraq. Or, little Iraqs--people like me banging away at their keyboards at the other people banging away at the Iraqis.
But no more of that. For the indefinite future, I am only going to write what is either worthy of publication, i.e. higher quality stuff than blog posts, or what is worthy of being preached in congregational worship, i.e. free of snark and irony--the academic journal and the pulpit being the two places where I am most likely to address the public.
And if I do get angry, I will try to see whether my anger is justified or not, and put it to bed with truthful, loving words and focused, purposeful action.
