2002 Toyota Corolla (24 Reviews)
235,000 miles now. Does burn 1/3 of a quart every 3,000 miles. Not bad considering many are burning much more. I started getting piston slap a month ago. Just going to keep driving it, not worth a bottom rebuild to do away with the noise. Brakes are perfect and parking brake holds on just two clicks. Did have a lot of worn out parts when I got it. Replaced the clutch at 220,000 -- still had the original Exedy. A/C is cold. Did flush out heater core because of poor heating performance and it helped. No electrical issues whatsoever. I have the LE model and it doesn't have ABS, which is what I prefer. And, I get 41 mpg in the summer (two weeks on one tank). I'd buy another one.
The Corolla is the BEST car I have ever owned, it's reliable, easy to drive, comfortable and has never once let me down. When our expensive cars need to go into the shop for work the Corolla just keeps on going. It needs basics like oil changes, brakes, tires but the engine and transmission have never given us a single problem with over 200,000 miles on the car. It seems bullet-proof, I am confident the Corolla will go another 200K without a problem. It's a 4 door car that gets 40MPG without being a 40K hybrid. Reliable, great MPG and easy to work on.
Excellent, reliable car. 190,000 miles, 12 years old and all original. Never tuned-up. Great car!
I bought this car new in Dec. 2001. It has been totally reliable. Changed the oil as needed and followed the service manual until the warranty expired. Still change the oil as indicated. Have only had to do the usual services such as new battery, tires, a couple of light bulbs, and brake pads. I think there might have been a couple of minor warranty issues but all good. Has almost 120,000. Been a great car. Still looks great.
I bought my 2002 corolla brand new 9/01. After 83,000 miles my check engine light has came on every year or it may skip a year and come on the next year. I have bought 3 catalytic convertor 3 02 sensor. My check engine light just came back ( a month before my birthday) I don't know what the problem is at the moment. I replaced the door handles interior and exterior, also the door window motor went out. I can't lock the doors because the original key doesn't really work on the doors. Sometimes takes me about 30-45min to get the doors unlocked so I just don't lock them. I can say it get me from A to B, but will not buy another one if I can help it.

I bought one brand new and now it has 156,000 miles. The interior is a basic quality of an economic car and is falling apart. The brakes are designed to stop the car but won't impress you. The transmission is amazingly realible. 11 years and the only lights i've replaced are the rear tail lamp side markers. The only problem with the engine is the seals will eventually fall apart (like every car) but other than that it is great. I drive 300 miles a week and spend $40 to do it, not bad for 11 years old. At the 10 year marker the catalytic convertor WILL give out, but thats the only issue with it. The heater will boil you and the a/c will freeze you, no issues. The suspension is loose (because it isn't a sports car) and the steering is also very soft which is great for long drives. This car is designed to get you from point A to point B with comfort and realibility, it does both very well considering it costs only a couple grand.
I bought an LE new in Dec 2001 (12 miles). I have 96K miles on it now. I've replace the struts this year. The drivers side door handle needs replaced. Other maintance: oil change every 3K miles, just flushed the power steering, radiator, brake fluid, replaced the serpentine belt, and a new battery last year. The gas mileage has started to drop I get about 34 miles per gal highway and 26 mpg in town. The car does OK in the snow I have gotten stuck before. I do feel the wind often as drive (live in a windy part of the state) but that is to be expected as it is a small car. The first 100K miles have gone pretty good so far. I'll see how the second 100K treats me. I don't have the oil burning issue that people below seem to be having, but maybe due to the low mileage in comparison.
I bought my Corolla brand new in 2001. I have always loved Toyotas and will continue to use them. The person saying they replaced the timing belt must be thinking about the Camry. I did have a Camry before and the timing belt broke at 125K miles and totaled the engine. This time I made sure my car didn't have a timing belt. Around 130K miles the check engine light started coming on and reading that it needed a new catalytic converter. We replaced the converter and the light was on again within less than a year. The place we bought the converter was shut down so we couldn't use our warranty. We went to Midas and bought another one with a one year warranty. After 6 months the light came on again and the people at Midas did not want to honor the warranty saying that something was wrong with our car. I took the car to the dealership and was told that our car is fine but the after market cats are not any good. To have the dealership replace the cat would cost over $2000 which is more than the car is worth. Midas reluctantly and rudly agreed to honor the warranty on the cat based on what the dealership said but said they would not warranty the new cat they were putting on. Less than 6 months later the light came on again and we took it to another place that said it wasn't the cat but that it wasn't installed correctly. Midas would not honor the warranty and wouldn't correct the situation so we had to get another cat. Now, less than 1 month later the light is on again. I wouldn't worry since it is just a cat but I live in Texas where we have to get our cars inspected and I can't pass inspection with the check engine light on. The car now has over 160K miles, is burning oil and has the check engine light on. It was a good car but it's time for a new one.
i'm a proform bench buil;der. presently rebuilding a 2002 toy. corolla. oil sludge caused poor pumping , led to failure. customer negec. run senthedic oil. it's a good idea to rebuild your top end a around 100,000 miles. thats always been a good way to rebalance your engine without an overhaul , ( pay me now , or , pay me later.) this corolla is only a 1.8 lit. engine not a race car, but do to satisfaction we sometimes neglet them that way. i've found a lot of models, before they went to the 2.4 lit. engines, failures do to timine belt tensioner failure prematurly. if you fould this to be your case don't wait to standerd 50,000 - 60,000 replacement. do at 25,000 - to - 30,000 and save your engine. we havn't had a rebuiuld reture in 5yrs. p.s. check modle history, alot of manufacture, quality contol caused failure . spes. wronge, torq. wronge, they don't refigure on the line. overall todays car are some of the most trouble -0free in history. rfebuld your top end at 100,000 miles . timing belts on time , and rotate all your trans. fluid at 70,000 or more Kraig
My 2002 Corolla is pretty good I can't compalian. Its great on gas especially in a small town. Of course routine maintenance is required. I've encountered a few problems with some the electrical, like the volume for the stock radio shorted out to the dimmer switch for the dash light and the door switches don't quite work right causing me to take the dome light out so it wouldn't keep draining my battery. Other than that the only major problem I've had is the car was abused before I got it so one of my rocker arm has come loose partially blocking oil flow causing it to burn a lot of oil and allow blow by into the exhaust. (and the corolla does have a timing belt or chain, it is needed to run the oil pump)
My 2002 Corolla was a wonderful car. I loved this car! Other than routine maintenance and a few minor issues, I did not have any problems at all. It was quiet, reliable, comfy, and perfect for me. I would not have given this car up unless I had to - with 92,000 miles on it, I had planned on keeping it for a long time to come. Unfortunately and very sadly, my 2002 Corolla was t-boned on the driver's side. The side impact airbag protected me from serious injury. The accident, however, probably totaled my beloved car. I am still waiting for the insurance company to make that determination. For nine years, this car has taken me everywhere I've needed to go - reliably and safely. That made this car worth its weight in gold for me. (And a side note: the person who wrote that they had to have the timing belt replaced twice - this car does not have a timing belt. You were cheated on that point.)
Probably the best car I've ever owned, out of 30+ different cars that I've had total. I bought it new in 2002, now has c. 140,000 miles with no serious problems. Did replace a window motor once, Set of four tires is around $150. Maintenance is always cheap, serpentne belt can be changed very cheaply. That's the only belt. It sounds like the person below that paid $300+ for each of two belts was seriously ripped off by an unscrupulous mechanic. I agree with the dash board lights, they are half out and not worth the cost of replacing them. Air conditioning has always been outstanding here in hot SoCal, as is the great mileage, 32 mpg + consistently every year. I have never spent more than $200 to do anything to this car, be it brakes, tires, anything, and I have had it serviced by the dealer at regular intervals up to 100k miles.
I bought my '02 CE Corolla brand new; it had 7 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Yes, the engine has a small issue with burning oil, but nothing dramatic. I've noticed that light bulbs burn out frequently, and the one feature that has always annoyed me is that you can't turn the headlights off. At 108,000 miles, everything still works well enough. The paint is chipping a little on the rear bumper and the rubber on the left side of the steering wheel is slightly loose, but I've had this car for almost eleven years so I'd expect some minor imperfections by now. I love the power; for a 4-cylinder automatic, it really moves! In contrast, I recently drove a Nissan Versa, and it was a gutless wonder. I'd definitely buy another Corolla; I'm only sorry that I'm stuck with manual door locks and windows until I buy my next car.
The one good thing I will say about my 02 Corolla is it always gets me to where I have to go. I bought it used back in 2005 with about 60,000 miles on it from a Toyota Dealership. Now, the problems; 1. Had to replace 2 struts within the first 3 months - Dealership covered that. 2. Started to burn oil at about 75,000. It now has 145,000 and I add 3-5 quarts per tank of gas! 3. Bulbs burn out frequently and the instrument panel lights went out within the first year. 4. It has a chronic hesitation problem and burns out spark plugs every few months or so. 5. Recently discovered I had 2 leaking fuel injectors that had to be replaced. 6. MAF sensor has had to be replaced twice. This car is a constant headache but it does get me from point A to point B. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Oh did I mention that the engine needs replaced or rebuilding?
Car works great, just surprised that nobody mentioned that their window motor died. I had it happen and a buddy who has the same car had it happen too. Besides that car gets me from A to B so no complaints.;
Had this car 6 years. It now has 165,000 miles. I replace the brakes every other year. It used a lot of oil, but what the heck, it's 8 years old. I now add Lucas with high mileage oil and it's fine. Didn't sound right, added Seafoam, now it sounds like new. Got a new serpentine belt, a friend put it on during a lunch break at his work's parking lot, took 10 minutes, cost like $12. Who the heck paid $365 twice for a belt??? I love my 2002 Corolla!
I had it for for 9 Years, just a few problems, I'm still happy
Absolutely do not get this car. I have had millions of problems since i got this. It was my first car. I'm 18, I bought a 2002 corolla wit 88,000 miles on it. Not bad right? Yeah okay. Hadnt even had the car 2 weeks, check engine light comes on. Needs a new timing belt. $365. About a month later, light comes on again. Needs some other belt. $365. About 2 months later, light comes on again. Gas cap wasn't on all the way, fine. Free. I then hit 90,000 miles. So I got a 90,000 mile tune up. As I'm driving away from the tune-up, I hear a loud rattling. The next day, the mechanic calls to make sure everything is okay with the car. I tell them about the rattling, I take it back in. Oh, I need a right front strut. $600. I let it be for a while, and drive around listening to the rattling. A few weeks later, light comes on AGAIN. I take it in. Needs a catalytic converter. Oh and while you're at it, it needs new brakes. $700 and $600. Sold that car for $3000 and that's it. i will never buy another Toyota again. I did nothing but pour money into that car. Not to mention I'm a student. And working in a lingerie store does not exactly make me have money bags floating around. Absolutely would not recommend it unless you want constant problems. All these problems were from October-May.
I have always loved toyota and did love this car until the last year. the check engine light kept going on and off. we took it in and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. We took it in again recently and learned that it has horrible compression in cylinder #4 and burns oil. it would be over $1000 to rebuild the engine. this car only has 139K, and we don't drive it aggressively and have had it serviced regularly. makes me a little hesitant to buy another toyota with very many miles.
I've had my car for 7 years now. I've had nothing but problems with it since i got it. I just recenttly had to replace the motor which was big mistake. Get this car for a first car for kid nothing else
Been driving for over 2 yrs. No problems absolutely except maybe engine oil issue - seems to consume more than normal. No other issues other than that. Great mileage, low maintenance.

Hello all,
Like the title indicates, it's been quite a while since I've ridden a bike.
I would presume my reasons for joining the forum are pretty typical...looking for advice and suggestions that will help me decide on what new/used bike I am going to purchase, the l see if there are any local riders that have trip/trail suggestions etc...
The last bike I had ~2 years ago and was also for about 2 years, it was a Motiv Dual Suspension bike that was purchased at Costco for me as a gift...what a piece of turd that was! It was heavy, too small and starting falling apart pretty quickly. Luckily they've got a great return policy.
Anyhow I've been bikeless now for over 2 years. So I am researching my options quite extensively.
And am leaning towards a Hybrid style bike, since I'd like the ability to do fire road trail stuff at the local parks around my area.
I'm 6'3 and 265lbs, part of my getting back into shape will be a biking by myself, with friends and with the family.

It is not clear whether the fire has reached the sanctuary.
There are photos of the wolves that were evacuated posted on the sanctuary's Facebook page.
9NEWS has learned volunteers are with the wolves 24 hours a day.
UPDATE AS OF TUESDAY: Currently the majority of wolves of W.O.L.F. sanctuary have been evacuated to Larimer County where they are being housed in kennels built by volunteers. The animals are on a regular feeding schedule, have fresh water, anti-stress aromatherapy, medication for those needed, shade, air-conditioning, and are even being groomed. Although some of the animals are still inside the sanctuary, they have concrete fire dens strategically placed to ensure their safety until the roads surrounding the sanctuary can be reopened.

Police say the man who punched a driver whose car hit a child in Sharpsburg is being charged.
Michael Jones, age 21, is accused of punching the driver, Moses Blount, in the mouth, and also punching another bystander at the scene in the nose.
The child in the May 2nd accident is okay. The toddler was released from the hospital with five stitches, bumps and bruises. No charges are being filed against Blount.
Police say Blount was back out of a parking space at a Sharpsburg apartment complex when the child was hit.
A one-year-old child was rushed to the hospital Saturday night after being run over by a car.
Police say the driver, Moses Blount, was backing out of a parking space at the Pine Grove Apartments in Sharpsburg when he heard people shouting and running to his car.
Police say Blount got out of his car to find he had accidentally run over a one-year-old. Lawmen say Blount was then assaulted by a resident of the apartment complex. Police say they found a large crowd when they arrived on scene.
The child was taken to Pitt County Memorial Hospital by helicopter.
Late Sunday, WITN learned the toddler was released from Pitt County Memorial Hospital with five stitches and scrapes and bruises.
Sharpsburg is located between Rocky Mount and Wilson on Highway Highway 301. The town is located where Nash, Edgecombe and Wilson counties meet, and residents live in all three counties.
Sharpsburg police say the case is under investigation, with no charges filed at this time. The District Attorney's office will be working with police. The accident was handled by the NC Highway Patrol, Wilson County Sheriff's Office and Sharpsburg Police Department and the Sharpsburg Fire Department. The Sharpsburg Police Chief says charges are probable in the assault on Blount after the accident.

Every once in awhile, it's nice to help out a friend. Not because you feel an obligation. Not because the friend has asked. Not even because the friend has suffered a tragedy. Just because sometimes, we all need a little bit of support. This is one of those times. Someone near and dear to many of us, is in a rough patch. And together, we can help. We can help her push thru this struggle. We can help her get thru this!
This person, is our friend, and design team member {Gabby Arriaza}. Gabby and her family have come upon a hardship that is proving to be more than they can handle on their own. You can read more about it on her blog.
Gabby has been a bit too proud to ask anyone for help but this is our Gabby!
We simply cannot sit idly by and let our dear friend face all of this alone.
Since Gabby is one of the rockinest stampers out there, {Katie} spoke with Cynthia about designing a rockstar moody girl. Whats fun about this digi is that she is the only moody available as a digi stamp! Gabby herself has also supplied some word art and we have another digi sentiment available.
These sales will all go directly to the Arriaza family.
The digis are available for purchase at the {Paper Makeup Stamps Store}
Here is my sample using the Moody for Rock digi:
We all thank you for time and time again helping us to help others. Thanks for stopping by!

Seattle Mariners rookie catcher Mike Zunino was diagnosed with a fractured hamate bone in his left hand and will be sidelined about six weeks, the Tacoma News Tribune reported. With that prognosis it's possible Zunino's season is over. Zunino was injured when he was hit by a foul tip during Thursday's game. Zunino, 22, was called up from Triple-A on June 12 and is hitting .242 with two homers in 29 games for the Mariners. Seattle released Kelly Shoppach to make room for Zunino last month. That leaves 41-year-old Henry Blanco as the Mariners' top catcher at the moment.

Crews were working to fix a broken water main in east Columbus Monday morning.
Crews said the water main broke just before 2:00 a.m. near Brownlee Road and James Road, just north of Livingston Avenue.
Water crews rushed to turn the water off so the road wouldn't completely flood.
They said the water main break shouldn't affect people living in the area, but some neighbors may experience low water preassue while crews work to fix the line.

Men's Track & Field Seeks 4th Consecutive Heps Title This Weekend
Live Results l Webstream (Sunday only) l Schedule
PRINCETON, N.J. (5/6/14) – The Princeton men's track & field team seeks its fourth straight outdoor Heps title as the Tigers travel to Yale this weekend, May 10 & 11 for the 2014 Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships.
The meet begins on Saturday at 11 a.m., at Cuyler Field & Dwyer Track in New Haven, Conn.
After last weekend's 10.67 at the Elite Meet, sophomore John Hill now boasts the best time in the 100 in the league. Hill was fourth in the event last year and has been a two-time scorer in the indoor 60. Junior Tommaso Greenbaum ranks in ninth in the league with a 10.93. Sophomore Dré Nelson and junior Daniel McCord have solid times as well, both under 11 seconds.
Triple threat senior Tom Hopkins aims for a title in the 200. He was the runner-up in the event in 2011 and 2012 and was fourth last year. He has the second-best time in the Ivies this year with a 21.13. Also pushing for points in the event is McCord. McCord has the third-best time in the league at 21.72, run just last weekend.
Hopkins' best event on the track however is the 400. He has first-, second- and third-place finishes in the 400 in his first three seasons, and has scored indoors three times as well. Hopkins owns the best time in the league at 46.69. McCord was a scorer in this event last year as well. Freshman Ray Mennin may get a chance to earn his first outdoor Heps points in the 400. He was a scorer in the indoor 500 and ran a 48.82 last weekend. Freshman Bryant Switzer also put up a great time indoors, at 49.08.
A third-place finisher a year ago, sophomore Greg Caldwell owns the third-best time in the league this season. He clocked a 14.42 at the Elite meet last weekend for his ranking. Junior Rob Mohr has finished fifth in the last two outdoor Heps and looks to score again as he enters the weekend with season-best 15.08 and a PR of 14.30. Freshman Greg Leeper is the top Tiger in the 400 hurdles.
Junior Bradley Paternostro is the top Tiger in the 800. He ran 1:50.40 at the Elite meet and was fourth in this event last year, while also scoring indoor.
Freshman William Paulson will push for his first Ivy title in the 1500. He has the third-best time in the league, with a 3:44.15 from the Larry Ellis Invitational.
Senior Michael Williams could be a scorer in either event. He was the runner-up in the 800 in 2012 and has the ninth-best time in the league in the 1500 with a 3:45.55 from the Stanford Invitational.
Between the 5 and 10k last year Princeton collected an incredible 42 points. These two events should grab the team big points again this season.
Seniors Alejandro Arroyo Yamin, Chris Bendtsen and Tyler Udland own three of the top four times in the league in the 10k. Bendtsen leads the league with a 28:49.08 and was the runner-up last year. Udland has the second-best Ivy time at 28:57.25 and was fifth a year ago. Arroyo Yamin's 29:19.09 ranks him fourth in the Ivies. He has scored all three years, placing third, fourth and sixth in his career in the 10k.
The trio also makes up three of the top-seven times in the 5k. Udland is third at 13:58.52, Arroyo Yamin is fourth at 13:59.21 and Bendtsen is seventh at 14:01.28. Bendtsen has been the runner-up the last two years and is a four-time scorer in the indoor 5k. Udland was a scorer in the event in 2012 and junior Sam Pons was last year.
Junior Eddie Owens and senior George Galasso own the top times on the team in the steeplechase. Owens ranks third in the league with an 8:56.54 as he finished in third place last year. Galasso has taken to the steeple in his final season and has the seventh-best time in the league of 9:08.20.
The 4x100 relay has a three-year tradition of finishing in second place and as the seed times reveal, Princeton is second in the league with a 41.23. The relay has logged under 42 seconds in four meets this season. The 4x400 won last year and in 2011 and was second in 2012. The relay comes into the meet with the second-best time, a 3:12.75 from Penn Relays. The 4x800 was second in 2013, third in 2012 and fourth in 2011. Princeton has entered the 4x800 in one meet this year, the Penn Relays, where he timed a 7:36.48.
Three of the top four marks in the long jump in the league belong to the Orange & Black. Hopkins has the second-best mark at 7.37 (24-2.25). He is the reigning champion in the event, and won in 2011 and was second in 2012. He won the event this past indoor Heps and was third twice and fifth as a freshman. Sophomore Jake Scinto was a scorer a year ago along with Damon McLean. Junior multi-eventer Stephen Soerens and Scinto both rank third in the league with a 7.15 (23-5.5).
McLean focuses on his main event, the triple jump, outdoors. He is the two-year reigning champion in the triple and enters the meet with the best jump in the league. He is the only competitor to reach 16 meters at 16.11 (52-10.25). Junior Nana Owusu-Nyantekyi ranks second in the league after he leapt to 15.31 (50-2.75) just last weekend at the Elite meet. Owusu-Nyantekyi is a three-time scorer in the indoor triple. Scinto scored in this event last year as well.
Senior Omar Jarrett has the fifth-best high jump mark in the league, a 2.09 (6-10.25). He has scored four times in the event, combining indoor and outdoor. Sophomore Jake Scinto is sixth in the league with a 2.04 (6-8.25).
Adam Bragg seeks his first outdoor title in the pole vault after winning the event indoor. Bragg has the second-highest mark in the league with a 5.15 (16-10.75) as just two vaulters have cleared five meters. Bragg was the runner-up last year. Freshman Benjamin Gaylord's 4.80 (15-9) ranks seventh in the league.
Junior Scott Rushton comes into the meet a week after throwing a PR in the shot put. His 17.64 (57-10.5) is the fifth best in the league. Rushton was a scorer in the shot put last year and was during the indoor season, along with freshman Chris Cook. Cook has the sixth-best throw with a 17.33 (56-10.25).
Cook will contend for more points as the Tigers' top discus thrower. Cook threw a PR of 51.03 (167-5) this season. Classmate Jared Bell is right behind him with a 50.38 (165-3) as the freshman rank 7-8 in the league.
Senior Jake Taylor is Princeton's best bet in the hammer throw. He has steadily improved all season, rewriting his PR nearly every meet. Taylor's latest throw is his best, a 55.55 (182-3).
In the javelin, senior Brad Pelisek has thrown a 62.99 (206-8). It ranks him fourth in the league, though he finished third in the event last year.
Soerens is seeking his first decathlon title after finishing second last year and third the year before. He's been a scorer twice indoors in the multi-events. Soerens has the second-best score in the league with a 7013 from the Larry Ellis meet, although he has a PR of 7212. Oslin has been a scorer twice indoor and ranks seventh with 6,164 points and a PR of 6,392.

This review is from: PQI i810 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model 681P-004GR3007
Pros: It's small and suites my needs as a wearable thumb drive. It clips nicely to my ID badge and holds tons of work related contact and emergency information.
Cons: Very slow, about 2.6 - 3.0 MB\sec write speed with Vista, but you already know that if you have read more than 2 reviews.
Other Thoughts: This is my second mini PQI drive and both are painfully slow. I knew that going in but wasn't bothered by it because I will likely write once and just update my docs as needed.
Did you find this review helpful?
Extremely convenient!
This review is from: PQI i810 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model 681P-004GR3007
Pros: This thing is nice and small and esthetically very pleasing. I love the retractable USB connector....no detachable lid is a huge plus (I always seem to loose those things).
Cons: It's slow, but that didn't bother me as I used it to keep work and school files that I wanted to keep handy...this thing is so practical that a few extra seconds to transfer files isn't that big of a con for me.
Other Thoughts: Since I kept it on my key chain which gets tossed roughed up a bit...jostled around in my bag, squeezed in and out of pockets and tossed on a hard service when I get home...it finally fell apart.

very very slow
This review is from: PQI i810 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model 681P-004GR3007
Pros: -Real small
Cons: -Very slow. Far from 30 MB/s advertised
Other Thoughts: I bought this drive ONLY for ReadyBoost but it does not gives any improvement. If you don't care about the speed. It could be ok. Any cheap flash drive is doing better than this, it's the slowest I ever seen.

Deader than DEAD !
This review is from: PQI i810 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model 681P-004GR3007
Pros: Tiny, cute
Cons: I purchased this so my Fiance' could store all her Medical information (severe Juvenile Diabetes). In the event of an emergency (and we've had quite a few), emergency personnel can have immediate access to her Doctor's names and phone numbers, detailed Medical records, a complete list of all medications being actively taken. Xrays showing her degenerative lower back disease, etc., etc. etc.. Thankfully, I back up all important data such as this because this drive simply died when it was needed the most. It was actually inserted into a USB port exactly 3 times by myself and one time by an EMT--when the drive would not respond.
Other Thoughts: I can understand electronics failing, but not the forth time it's used. It was not mistreated in any way or dropped as it was always kept in a padded Medical pouch. Now, PQI says it will replace (or repair) the drive but they make you walk through hoops just to do that. PLUS, I have to pay for shipping back to PQI to have their defective product "repaired or replaced". I'm going to do it just for the principle of it--but I will never use it (or another PQI product) for the same purpose. I just happened to be with my Fiance' when she fell extremely ill and was able to provide the critical information the ParaMedics needed, which is crucial for providing the correct treatment in her case. Some Diabetics never recover from an Insulan coma. So, it's going to cost me half the price of a new drive just to send this thing back to PQI after I get "final" RMA approval. I will never deal with PQI again--and I'm a PC System's builder. Buyer BEWARE!!!

Pretty awesome
This review is from: PQI i810 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model 681P-004GR3007
Pros: Its tiny, which is really the reason I bought it. I threw it on a chain and I've been wearing it around my neck so I can always have it with me. The color is awesome and is very stylish.
Cons: None really. Ive only had it for a few days, but I think its going to last a while. It seems a little fragile though, and I dont think I would recommend putting it on a key chain with all of your keys. Id be too afraid that it would break. As long as you take care of it, it should be fine.
Other Thoughts: Ive read some other reviews on the other sizes/colors and people say that it doesnt always fit snugly in the USB port. I dont seem to have that problem in either my desktop or my laptop, but maybe if you have an older computer, it might be a little loose.

This review is from: PQI i810 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model 681P-004GR3007
Pros: Size. It's very easily portable. Good price for the amount of storage.
Cons: Breaks easily. My wife has had 2 and I've had one. All three of them have broke. They still function as far as using them for storage, however, the plastic clips keeping them retracted break easily. On mine, the plasic clip that holds it to you keychain broke.

UPDATE: Well! That was an eventful season premiere. The biggest takeaway: Newcomer Jenny Slate dropping the F-bomb on live TV. Wow. That may change everything I said below. Scroll down for my post-show takeaway.
In its 34th season last year, SNL went mainstream — super mainstream. Thanks to Tina Fey's uncanny resemblance to Sarah Palin — a vice-presidential candidate who revealed herself to be a headline machine in one of the most riveting election seasons in U.S. history — SNL hit its stride with viral video after viral video, which skyrocketed it out of the realm of late-night ratings and onto daytime computer screens across the nation (and newscasts, and 24-hour cable shows, and The View, etc. etc. etc.) Finally figuring out how to make videos embeddable and loosening the next-day pickup sphincter helped, too. At long last, the choruses of "SNL sucks! I never watch it" were quelled.
Fast forward a year. Tonight SNL premieres its 35th season (well, if you don't count the last two Thursdays). Times are tougher than ever for network television — Tivo is king, appointment television is scarcer than ever, Jay Leno has brought comedy to 10 pm. Okay, maybe not that last thing. The point is, SNL is premiering tonight in a non-election year — and expectations are high. How can it possibly meet them?
Two words: Megan Fox.
Actually, I'm not really joking. SNL's bread and butter is in buzz — picking great hosts and bands to encourage people to tune in. See above re: appointment television. In the Internet Age, they now also have to worry about next-day pickup. So who better to kick off the season than the Internet's favorite pin-up girl? She's already making the video rounds with her appearance on Jimmy Fallon, her SNL promos and Thursday Update cameo, and her recent headline-grabbing comments about her vagina. (This girl is a media superstar for a reason.)
She already showed herself to be game and a good sport on Thursday, and it made next-day news — whatever happens with the ratings tonight, SNL only needs one or two knockout skits to burn up the Internet the next day.
But it does need them. It needs them because it its 35th year, SNL has never had more competition horning in on their beat. There's Jon Stewart (who just beat them for an Emmy!) and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel ("F**ing Matt Damon," anyone?) and Jimmy Fallon (darling of the Internerds) and even Leno (he's got five days a week to come up with something). So SNL needs to be memorable and fresh and funny (think: the Ahmedinejad "Iran So Far" spoof or Amy Poehler's pregnant Palin Rap).
Note that neither of these skits mentioned featured a guest host — the blockbusters often don't, and that's as it should be. The SNL regulars and writers are there because they're damned talented, and it's their job to create memorable, hilarious moments to make the whole show good (at least until Update). Jason Sudeikis' send-up of Glenn Beck is already a hit, and strong supporting characters like Bill Hader's impression of James Carville or really anything by Kristen Wiig will keep the chattering online classes buzzing the next day (we all need something to post, right? Thanks for the traffic, SNL!).
But the guest hosts are there to create that spark of excitement, that unique OMG moment that will instantly set Twitter ablaze. SNL needs that. It's the catalyst for everything else. Because fundamentally, SNL is not just about comedy, it's about Zeitgeist. So they'd damn well better tap into it.
Megan Fox, you're on.
Update to the Update: So, in addition to the fact that SNL newcomer Jenny Slate dropped the F-word on live TV, how was the show? Well, much like Joe Wilson heckling President Obama during his address to Congress, it's hard to separate the two — this event will be the big headline coming out of tonight. (Oh my gosh that is another thing Barack Obama and Megan Fox have in common!) As I noted on Twitter, I would have liked to have seen Fox given a little more to work with — we get that she's hot, so being a sex line operator/sex video demo girl/sexy mute Russian mail-order bride doesn't exactly stretch her. Jon Hamm is hot, but he got some great stuff to work with. That said, Fox was a great team player in both digital shorts (let's not forget that there is value in being a good straight-man supporting actor, setting your partner up for the laughs) and came off as very natural in that and "Megan Fox Talks To Your Mom." Twitter seemed to resent the fact that she "couldn't act" but this seemed pretty good to me. I feel like Fox could have risen to the challenge, had one been put in front of her. Curious as to what was cut from dress rehearsal. But also! Did you hear that someone dropped an F-bomb on SNL? You can't not hear it if you watch these clips.

|Home Free: a cappella in Ogallala Sept. 28
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
A male a cappella group , Home Free, will perform Monday, Sept. 28 at the Ogallala High School Lecture Hall at 7 p.m. The performance is part of the current 2009-2010 concert season, presented by the Ogallala Regional Arts Council.
Home Free has singers like other a cappella groups as they produce all the percussive effects with their voices and microphones. However, this group of talented men is carving new ground and expanding its audience's horizons by introducing its own unique flavor to the musical world.
The genre of music is an extensive mix ranging from pop songs to classical and even techno...all successfully done with only the human voice, their microphones and a state of the art sound system. Home Free's music is put to explosive beats by one of the most exciting vocal percussionists in the a cappella scene, Adam Rupp. In concert he will be featured as a vocal percussion soloist. Other members of Home Free include Adam's brother Chris Rupp, Chris Foss and Matt Atwood.
Home Free has performed for a diverse clientele, ranging from the Minnesota Vikings to the Mall of America, as well as concerts at colleges and other schools. They also devote their time to educating and encouraging music in the schools through innovative workshops and performances for students.
This amazing group is doing what they love, anxious to continue pushing the boundaries of what they can do, both musically and professionally.
Members of the Ogallala Regional Arts Council will be admitted to this performance with their membership card. Nonmembers may purchase tickets at the door. At this first concert of the year, the public may purchase a membership to the Ogallala Regional Arts Council if they have not already done so. This membership allows admission to all of the concerts throughout the 2009-2010 season.
Refreshments will be served after the performance. For questions concerning this performance, call Karen at 308-284-4212.

BOSTON The Bruins were facing elimination, but outside the TD Garden before Game 6 fans were optimistic. Two years ago in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, the Bruins came back from the same deficit to beat Vancouver and win the Cup. Bruce Flax, of Mystic, Conn., thought history would repeat itself.
"I'm feeling good about it. In [2011] they were down 3-2, came back, won two in a row. That's what we're going to do now," Flax said.
The Bruins looked sharp early and an already excited crowd got more energized when Patrice Bergeron — who had gone to a Chicago hospital after being injured in Game 5 — came into the game. Then about 7 minutes in, center Chris Kelly put Boston up 1-0. However, the Bruins had two power plays in each of the first two periods, but failed to convert.
"Obviously when you look at the first period it could've been maybe 2, 3–0. But that's the name of the game," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "You make your own breaks. Sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don't."
Chicago's Jonathan Toews tied it up in the second period. The tie lasted until late into the third. Then Milan Lucic beat Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford with just under 8 minutes to play. The Bruins were 1 minute and 16 seconds from forcing Game 7 in Chicago when Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell tied it up again. And almost before anyone could say "overtime," Chicago's Dave Bolland scored to make it 3-2 with under a minute left — two goals 17 seconds apart.
Bolland says the series was tight. "They're a great team. They battle to the end. They're always battling hard. I know as a team, our team, we always battle to the end as well."
Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference agreed.
"How close every game was for both teams and how hard fought this series was," Ference said. "It's tough to be disappointed in the effort. It's more just disappointed in the outcome. It's a sick feeling to lose like that, but it's a sick feeling to lose anyway."
The disappointment carries extra weight for the team this season. Since the Boston Marathon bombings in April, the Bruins have honored victims and first responders before their home games.
"The city of Boston, what Newtown's been through [in Connecticut]. All that kind of stuff, it hit close to home," Julien said. "And the best way we felt we could try and cheer the area was to win a Stanley Cup and I think that's what is hard right now for the players. We had more reasons than just ourselves to win a cup."
It's been a wild postseason. Just over a month ago, the Toronto Maple Leafs led the Bruins by three goals in Game 7 of the opening playoff round. Boston's historic comeback set off a near-miss quest for the Cup. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask says he enjoyed the season.
"I had a lot of fun. It's great to play with guys like this," Rask said. "We try to have a lot of fun out there and play hard every night. We made it a great run, too bad we just couldn't finish it off."
The good thing about playing hockey in June: there's not too much time to think about a loss before a new season is here.

By Kimberly Scharfenberger |
The New Republic recently published an opinion piece by former Yale professor William Deresiewicz, in which he provides a critique of modern Ivy League universities and suggests benefits of attending religious colleges. In his piece, Deresiewicz accuses the "system of elite education" of engendering "young people who are smart and talented and driven…but also anxious, timid, and lost, with little intellectual curiosity and a stunted sense of purpose."
Deresiewicz indicates in his article several issues with the current Ivy League model of education. He argues that due to exorbitant tuition costs, students are treated as customers to be pandered to and professors lose any incentive to teach. Additionally, he argues, wealthy parents often see the system as a reason to "manufacture" children who are capable of competing in a kind of "college admissions game," creating a slew of applicants from materially well-off families, but without any sense of direction or motivation.
Professor Deresiewicz advises those considering an Ivy League education to "look beneath the façade of seamless well-adjustment" to find "toxic levels of fear, anxiety, and depression, of emptiness and aimlessness and isolation." The extreme admission standards make successful applicants terrified of failure, which in turn encourages "a violent aversion to risk" throughout their college years, he argues. Deresiewicz recounts that one student "left Yale because she found the school 'stifling to the parts of yourself that you'd call a soul.'"
Deresiewicz does see hope in other models of higher education. He notes:
Religious colleges—even obscure, regional schools that no one has ever heard of on the coasts— often do a much better job [at teaching students how to think]. What an indictment of the Ivy League and its peers: that colleges four levels down on the academic totem pole, enrolling students whose SAT scores are hundreds of points lower than theirs, deliver a better education, in the highest sense of the word.
He goes on to praise the liberal arts college model:
If there is anywhere that college is still college—anywhere that teaching and the humanities are still accorded pride of place—it is the liberal arts college.
Liberal arts colleges and other second-tier colleges "have retained their allegiance to real educational values," according to Deresiewicz. Through these alternative options, students can still have "the kind of mind-expanding, soul-enriching experience that a liberal arts education provides," he argues.
The Cardinal Newman Society recommends Catholic colleges and universities, many of which focus heavily on liberal arts education, for their faithful Catholic identity in The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College.

Argentina won that game 3-0, initiating a rivalry that would go on to grow after every encounter. There is no doubt that today the Argentina-Brazil rivalry is the fiercest of all international rivalries, and when the two teams take the field, it is never a friendly (no matter what the occasion). Both teams battle to the end, literally, as we saw in Doha last night. Since the first game in 1914, Argentina have enjoyed being the dominant side in the head-to-head stats. At one point, Argentina reached a 13 game lead in 1970 when they defeated Brazil 2-0 in Porto Alegre. However, the 70's would prove to be a dark decade for Argentina against their neighbors. Brazil would go on to win 8 of the next 13 games (all the rest were draws), cutting the lead to 5, until Argentina finally recorded their next victory in the 1983 Copa America in Buenos Aires. From then on, the stats stayed somewhat balanced until the turn of the century, where Brazil would again gain ground. The past decade saw Brazil dominate with 8 victories in the last 11 matches (compared to Argentina's two), thus eliminating the gap Argentina enjoyed in the head-to-head stats, drawing level on 33 wins each in Rosario under the Maradona-coach era. For the Brazilians, Doha was an opportunity to finally take the lead for the first time ever. However it was not meant to be. Messi's goal in the 92nd minute last night gave the Albiceleste their 34th victory over the Selecao, thus restoring Argentina's supremacy over Brazil. Argentina and Brazil have met only 4 times in the World Cup, of which Brazil won twice ('74 and '82), Argentina won once ('90) and they tied once ('78). In World Cup qualifications, surprisingly the first time they met was in 2000 (Brazil won 3-1). To date, they have played 6 qualifiers: Brazil won 3, Argentina won 2 and one draw in between. As for the Copa America (formerly known as the South American Championship until the 70's), they met a total of 32 times: Argentina won 15 (plus 1 on penalties), Brazil won 9 (plus 2 on penalties) and 8 Draws in between. Note: In their statistics, FIFA count penalty shoot-outs as draws. The rest of the matches came in various events such as international friendlies, the old Roca Cups, Pamerican Cups, Mundialito ('81), Gold Cup ('88 in Australia) and others. However FIFA usually consider them all as international friendlies. So altogether, they make up 47 games: Argentina won 16, Brazil won 18, and 13 draws in between. So all in all: 90 games, 34 wins for Argentina, 33 wins for Brazil and 23 draws. Argentina have scored a total of 144 goals, 7 more than Brazil's 137.

If you love cheese, you're not alone, and you may not want to read this.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) believes cheese to be the guilty culprit of our nation's obesity problem. They believe it so much that they have recently began a billboard campaign in Albany, New York. Large billboards display dimply thighs or flabby guts and read, "Your Thighs on Cheese," or "Your Abs on Cheese."
Are they right? Is the ooey gooey goodness of cheese really the enemy?
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's estimates, Americans have tripled the amount of cheese they eat each year since 1970. Today, the average American eats 31 pounds of per year. Let's be real, that's a lot of cheese!
Neal Barnard is part of the PCRM and clearly stated how he feels about our cheese consumption, especially our children's cheese consumption. "Cheese and other dairy products are the leading source of saturated fat that our kids are swallowing. And I think most Americans are totally oblivious to it."
Cheese has high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, the culprits that clog arteries and link to heart disease. Barnard points out that the fat and cholesterol in cheese is "as high as any steak you'll find." Barnard feels cheese is so bad for our health that he suggests we should never eat it at all.
Those are extreme recommendations. They do not fall in line with mainstream nutritional guidelines either. While cheese is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, it's also high in protein and calcium, two very essential nutrients. On the same hand though, the guidelines do not recommend melting mountains of it on every dish we eat. Given the 31 pounds most eat every year, moderation of cheese may be an issue in America.
Maybe we just need a new out look on cheese. Perhaps the French motto, "fromage ou dessert," meaning "cheese or dessert" could apply. The French savor cheese, they do not slather it on everything. It's like a dessert, appreciated alone and in moderation.
The billboards are not being welcomed with open arms. Viewers find them offensive and annoying. They might be, or maybe they're right, and the truth hurts.

Whether it's the impact of a merger, the wake-up call of extraordinary competition, community breakdown or simply a desire to change the way we work together to make it more meaningful, alive and effective … most of us are faced with a need to address change in our lives. Whatever the issues, one common ingredient in successful change, is a focus on culture—the values, attitudes and beliefs we bring to a situation and the related behaviours that need to be aligned to the views we profess.
Wikima is pleased to help you both navigate inevitable change and to create the changes you wish to see. In either case we offer models and tools that actively engage leadership teams and all those affected by the change.
Recognising change as an on-going emergent process (rather than an initiative to be implemented and soon forgotten about), Wikima works alongside the leadership team to co-create an evolving programme. This does not mean that we stay around for ever. A blend of consultancy, coaching and professional development is offered, such that in-house and local teams can run with the work that's needed, as soon as possible.
Wikima team members and partners have extensive personal in-house international business and community experience, and are great at seeing things from 'standing in client's shoes'. This is balanced with bringing the freshness of a view from elsewhere. We believe this combination accelerates our ability to support genuine client transformations.
Sometimes change programmes are daunting in their size, the time they are expected to take and the associated cost. There is a way to short circuit or jump-start the process. That is to rapidly address the key issues of change, identify what's needed and provide a concentrated personal and organisational experience of changing.
To achieve this, we are proud to partner with Olivier Mythodrama Associates in bringing The Art of Leading Change—using Shakespeare's The Tempest. This magical mystery play reveals the vital ingredients of a successful change initiative. How can we sell the need for change? Can we manage different reactions? How can we develop others to truly embrace the new?
Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, shows us the way:
"Mercy on us! – We split, we split!"
Gonzalo, The Tempest, Act I, Scene i
This programme focuses on the practical tasks facing those leading people through organisational change. We explore how to create the right climate, how to manage different elements incisively and how to align others to achieve the desired outcome.
"O rejoice beyond a common joy:
in one voyage all of us found ourselves,
when no man was his own!"
Gonzalo, The Tempest, Act V, Scene i
We rehearse key techniques of transformational leadership: telling a compelling story, instilling commitment and service, confronting conspirators, 'blessing' the emergent change, and integrating the new system. The Art of Leading Change is designed to make your next change less traumatic, more engaging, and more effective.

Gastroschisis is a birth defect that creates a gap in the muscles and skin of the abdominal wall. Intestines can push through the gap to the outside of the body. A gastroschisis tends to occur to the right of the belly button.
A gastroschisis may be small and only involve a section of intestines or be large and involve other abdominal organs. It may also be associated with intestinal atresia.
Gastroschisis develops before birth during development of the abdominal wall. It is not clear why, but the abdominal wall does not close completely in one area. It may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Gastroschisis is more common in babies born to teenage mothers. Other factors that may increase the chance of a gastroschisis include:
Intestines will be visible outside of the body, often to the right of the belly button.
Gastroschisis may be suspected after blood tests in the mother. A fetal ultrasound will show if there are intestines outside of the abdominal wall. Early diagnosis will help make birth and treatment plans. Gastroschisis not diagnosed before birth will be apparent as soon as the child is born.
Additional imaging tests may be done to help plan treatment.
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your baby. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
The intestines are often damaged. Your baby may have difficulty with digestion and need supportive care. Medications may include:
The goal of surgery is to put the intestine and other organs back in place, and close damaged wall. The type of surgery will depend on the extent of the gastroschisis.
Large defects may require several surgeries over a long period of time.
To help reduce your baby's chance of gastroschisis:
If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about prenatal care and testing.

Restaurants near Georgia Dome, Barbecue: Yes, the place looks like a dump. But don't be dissuaded by it--the facade is part of its charm. Grab a seat and have your pick of gluttonous BBQ. For an appetizer, try the barbecue wraps, meat wrapped in crispy dough. Fried mushrooms, wings, chicken tenders, and shrimp comprise of some of the other appetizer choices. Order ribs by the slabs, barbeque plates with sides, or desserts. Cheesecake, cobbler, or cakes are available. For a taste of the South, try the shrimp and grits. On the weekends, the place attracts live blues bands. Check it out for a soulful show.
Take Out: Don't dismiss Daddy D'z based on its appearance – as with any BBQ joint worth its sauce, this one isn't dressed to impress, and they don't hang their hats on any false pretense, In fact, most just leave their hats right on their heads where they belong! And, if you're looking for pedigree, publications from all over the country have heaped praise and awards on the place for its tender, flavorful smoked spare ribs. In addition to everyday ditties like pulled pork, chicken, turkey and bodacious Brunswick stew, Daddy D'z delivers terrific live blues on Friday and Saturday nights.

NEVER BEEN BITTEN by Erica Ridley
Rumored to be a vampire, the rakish Mr. Macane is ravishing all the ladies of the ton! Yet, Miss Elspeth Ramsay cannot bring herself to tremble in his presence.

HIGHLAND VAMPIRE by Diana Cosby
As King of the Highland Coven, vampire Aedan MacGregor knows that falling for the fey Rowan Campbell could destroy her. But one taste of her healing blood and he craves her like no other. Dare claim her as his own, knowing he might lose her forever?
Read Excerpt | Read Reviews
For the release of Born to Bite, Erica Ridley and I wrote a fun campfire vampire short story, which was posted at Tyngas Reviews.
What people are saying about Born To Bite:
"Diana Cosby writes a colorful, romantic, and action packed story. Ms Cosby leaves the reader with the feeling of overwhelming literary satisfaction." – Mary Gramlich "The Reading Reviewer"
"Born To Bite, a riveting fictional vampire story that won't
disappoint!" - Roseann Smith, writer for the Brigantine Times
"I finished Hannah Howell's and Diana Cosby's AMAZING stories in Born To Bite and next is Erica Ridley's... I really love this book!!!" - Kimberly Radicy Rocha
"Just finished, Highland Vampire, Diana Cosby's story in the anthology Born To Bite. Great story, captured me from the beginning and did not stop reading until I was done!" - Dianna Wright
"Diana Cosby mixes romance and adventure with exquisite flare and perfect harmony." – Mary J. Forbes, Best-Selling Author http://www.maryjforbes.com/
"Diana weaves a fascinating vampire tale in Highland Vampire. You won't be able to put down this book until the end!" – Shirley Rogers, Best-Selling Author http://shirleyrogerson.com/
"Enchanting, enthralling, and simply brilliant!"- Chastity Bush, author
Turquoise eyes darted toward the entry, shifted back.
Bedamned, he should take her blood and be done with it, but Aedan could not risk scaring her. With his body so weakened, if she broke free and ran, he'd not have the strength to will her back or give chase.
After a long moment, Rowan withdrew her dagger. "But a few drops."
Precious seconds passed. On an exhale, she slid the honed blade against the pad of her thumb.
A drop of blood beaded upon the sharp metal, and the rich scent filled the air, infused Aedan's every breath. His body demanded he take. He waited, preserved the last of his meager energy in case she decided to bolt.
Rowan's eyes locked upon his, she held her thumb a hand's breadth above his mouth. The beads of red grew, wobbled upon the honed tip, fell.
The warm salty drops landed upon his tongue. Aedan savored sweetness unlike anything he'd ever tasted. He swallowed. Strength flooded his body, and his senses heightened to a dangerous edge. As deep keening ignited within his soul. A completeness he'd never experienced filled him.
He stilled. By the sword's blade, this woman was his mate!

The past few days have been really tough for me. Not to get into overshare territory or anything, but I finally bit the bullet and tried Internet dating — and met a really great guy (he looks a little like Australian actor David Wenham) who I just started dating. I thought it was only fair that he know that his girlfriend is a feminist blogger, so I included the link to this site so there would be no confusion down the road. He was a bit overwhelmed by the whole enterprise, and said that, while he really liked me, he didn't feel he could date someone who contributed to a culture of man-hating. After a very, very long discussion about misogyny vs. misandry, I've come to realize that what I'm doing here is counterproductive. If even intelligent, politically aware men like my boyfriend are upset by the kind of inflammatory rhetoric we sling around so casually here, I fail to see how constantly talking about the Patriarchy (TM) will advance any kind of women's agenda.
Therefore, I am resigning my post as a Harpy. This was not an easy decision, and I am eternally grateful that my fellow harpies have allowed me to write this final post and openly discuss why I have such qualms about continuing to write for this blog.
1. I don't want men to think I hate them
I have never shied away from my desire to marry and have children. In fact, I was engaged as recently as last November. And I was also very recently pregnant, although I lost my son in stillbirth seven weeks ago. I mention this only because I know I was happiest when I was filling the roles of (prospective) wife and mother, and I think that, at age 27, I don't want to waste time living in my apartment alone with only some dustbunnies and Lord of the Rings DVDs keeping me company. But writing long screeds about the societal expectations of female domesticity makes it really difficult for people to understand why I would want to carve out a niche within that domestic sphere.
2. I'm tired of explaining myself
I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this. There are only so many times that I can say, "No, feminists don't kill puppies and set nuns on fire." There are only so many internet debates that I have the energy for. There are only so many misogynist trolls that I have the willpower to cut down. Labeling myself a Feminist with a capital "F" is something that keeps a lot of people from understanding or accepting me, especially when I scream it from the internet mountaintops on this site. It's a little disingenuous for me to spend my days railing against the male-dominated culture and then spend my nights wondering why no men want to date me.
3. I have to figure some stuff out for myself
I talked about the "gay for play" phenomenon a few days ago, but perhaps the harpy doth protest too much. When I was asked by my new boyfriend about why I felt the need to share that I was bisexual in a public (if semi-anonymous) forum, I just didn't have an answer. I similarly could not answer his question as to whether I am really bisexual or was just dated girls because I was really lonely and at a women's college. The bottom line is that it's not fair for me to continue to label myself bisexual anymore, especially when we could have LGBT readers who might be relating to that part of my self-professed identity only to realize that it could possibly be a falsehood.
4. My view on a key issue has changed.
This may have been the breaking point for me. After a very difficult internal debate, I have come to believe that abortion is morally, ethically, and legally wrong. I cannot believe that it is part of the natural order of things. I resent the anti-choice label, because I am not about to start picketing Planned Parenthood or sending threats to the head of NARAL. I also do not subscribe to the pro-life label, because I'm not sure that fully encapsulates my position either. However, I am not pro-choice. These are potential lives, and I do not believe they should be snuffed out (I would, of course, make the customary rape/incest exception).
So, this is the end of my personal Harpyness. I cannot thank you all enough for all of the comments, the debate, the one-liners, and the time that you have spent reading what I have written for this site. I remain so indebted to my friends and (now ex-)fellow harpies for understanding my decision. I will continue to read this site and also hope to comment on posts.
Finally, I'd like to leave you all with a message from my beloved pup Lola, whose birthday is today:

To help investors get accurate and comprehensive information about companies, regulator Sebi today proposed that listed firms file an annual information memorandum, on the lines of practices followed in the US and other large markets.
The memorandum, which is proposed to be filed by the top 200 companies by market capitalisation from the next financial year beginning April 1 and by other firms from April 1, 2015, can also be used as a reference document while raising funds.
The annual information memorandum (AIM) would include details of a company, its business description, a history of major events, risk factors, management and promoter information and consolidated financial statements.
The Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has given time till March 9 for public comments on the proposed document, which would save investors from sifting through various individual disclosures made by the company over time.
Sebi has proposed that the document consolidate all regulatory disclosures made by listed companies and be updated within 135 days from the end of a financial year.
For companies that plan to list on the stock exchanges, the requirement for filing an AIM would commence with their initial public offers (IPOs).
Disclosures made by companies at the IPO stage are proposed to be updated on an annual basis to ensure that the latest information is available in the public domain.
Sebi said AIM filings would lower the quantum of details needed in company annual reports, limiting them to disclosures required under the Companies Act.
This would help in "significantly reducing disclosures required in annual report and consequently reducing costs for the listed companies as AIM will be required to be filed in electronic format," Sebi said.
As per the regulator, AIM may be disseminated by uploading it on the company's website and simultaneously filing it with the stock exchanges.
The AIM should be approved by the board of directors before it is disseminated, the regulator proposed.
