Paralympic Games hopes dashed for Canadian women's sitting volleyball team
SAO PAULO, Brazil (September 30, 2011)- Canada lost to Brazil 25-15, 25-19, 25-10 on Friday in the semifinal at the Pan American championships in women's sitting volleyball championships. With the loss, Canada's hopes to compete at the 2012 Paralympic Games are over.
Brazil will earned the one spot available for the Games as it will meet the U.S., in the championship final on Saturday. The Americans already had a Games spot locked up after placing second at the world championships this past summer.
''Clearly not the outcome we have been training for, ''said Canada's head coach Dusty Freimark of Edmonton. ''It's a huge disappointment but we're young and a lot of these athletes haven't experienced this type of pressure.''
Freimark was pleased with the great improvements her troops have made this season.
''Six months ago we wouldn't have been at this level and now we are being competitive,'' she said. ''We have a long way to go but I'm proud of this team for how far they've come in such a short period of time.''
Allison Lang of Edmonton led Canada with eight points while Danielle Ellis of Surrey, B.C., Leanne Muldrew of Winnipeg and Leaha Hickman of Lashburn, Sask., added five each.
Canada faces Colombia in the bronze medal match Saturday.
Canada is fielding a 10-member team with three members from Alberta: Allison Lang, Amber Skyrpan and Jolan Brunner, all of Edmonton. Danielle Ellis and Jordan Funnell are both from Surrey, B.C.; Karen McKoy and Chantal Beauchesne, both of Ottawa.
Manitoba has two players: Emerald Kehler of MacGregor and Leanne Muldrew of Winnipeg. Leaha Hickman of Lashburn, Sask., rounds out the squad.
Dusty Freimark of Edmonton is the head coach and Janna Dubyk of Edmonton, the assistant.

By Mike Chaney
There has been much attention paid recently to the establishment of a health insurance exchange in Mississippi as required under the terms of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
I have publically stated my opposition to PPACA on many occasions and I hope it is repealed. However, it is the law of the land.
The bottom line is simply this – if we do not implement and operate a state-based health insurance exchange by Jan. 1, the federal government will implement and operate one for us, and we will forever give the keys to health insurance in our state to Washington.
I am against turning Mississippi's health care over to Washington. The Mississippi Insurance Department gets numerous calls daily from consumers seeking help with their health insurance plans. Would all these people be better off having to call some federal bureaucrat when they need help? If we turn the operation of our exchange over to Washington, we would have zero control over what is done within the borders of our own state.
Several governors have banded together and decided not to implement state-based exchanges – opting to let Washington operate them instead. The result is that the states will have no voice and the path will be cleared for the implementation of a single-payer system in this country.
The feds will implement a "one-size-fits-all" exchange in the state.
In short, because we had the foresight to know that Mississippi needed an exchange even before PPACA was passed and upheld by the Supreme Court, Mississippi has a plan.
It is important to note that no state funds are being used to create Mississippi's exchange. Our exchange is 100 percent federal grant funded.
I have heard and studied the argument that Mississippi should not create a state-based exchange because the PPACA employer responsibility penalties will only attach in states that operate a state-based exchange. This argument is flawed in that it is based solely on speculation and unproven legal theories. The IRS has refuted this claim and has affirmatively stated that subsidies will be available through every state's exchange regardless of whether it is run by the state or the federal government.
As insurance commissioner it is my job to make decisions based on facts and what is known and not based on speculation or what I would like to see happen.
We believe that pursuant to Mississippi law, the commissioner of Insurance is the appropriate authority to decide whether the state should create a state-based insurance exchange or cede authority to a federally facilitated exchange.
I still believe that a free-market health insurance exchange is good public policy. Exchanges have received broad support across party lines in Mississippi and have been supported by political parties and policy research centers across the state and nation.
I feel it is important to set partisan politics aside and make practical policy decisions that are in the best interests of all Mississippians. This is what I was elected to do.
Mike Chaney, a Republican, is the statewide elected Mississippi commissioner of insurance. Contact him through Joseph Ammerman at email@example.com.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
Prep Time: 60 minutes
Bake Time: 9 to 10 minutes
Cooling Time: 1 hour
Ready In: 3 hours
Servings: 60 cookies
Robert Heinlein once said, "Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." And once again Cupid is calling and what better way to your Valentine's Heart than with a cookie—a heart-shaped cookie. This Valentine's Day make a wonderfully peppermint-flavored chocolate filled cookie hearts Each cookie is drizzled with 2 different icings, one milk chocolate, the other peppermint pink.
Ingredients for the cookies:
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup vegetable shortening (Crisco)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Ingredients for the chocolate filling:
1 3/4 cups Choclatique Milk Chocolate Chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (Crisco)
Ingredients for the peppermint drizzle:
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 drop peppermint extract, or to taste
1 drop red food coloring, or as needed
4 1/4 teaspoons whole milk, or as needed
Ingredients for the chocolate drizzle:
1/4 cup Choclatique Heirloom Milk Chocolate Pastilles
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
Directions for the cookies:
- Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- With an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter, 3/4 cup shortening, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, 1/4 cup milk and 1-1/2 teaspoons of peppermint extract.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until the mixture forms soft dough. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, cover and chill for 1 hour in refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- To make filling, melt 1-3/4 cups of milk chocolate pastilles with 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening in the top of a double boiler over hot (not boiling) water. Stir the mixture until very smooth, and remove the filling from the heat to cool and slightly thicken.
- Remove one piece of cookie dough from refrigerator at a time, and working on a floured surface, roll the cookie dough out 1/8-inch thick cutting 120 hearts (total) with a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place half the hearts onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Carefully spread the hearts with about a teaspoon of the chocolate filling, avoiding the edges, and top each with another heart cookie. Gently pinch the edges of both cookies together to enclose the filling.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until firm.
- Let the cookies cool for 1 minute on the baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on racks.
Directions for the peppermint drizzle:
- Mix together the confectioners' sugar, 1 drop of peppermint extract (to taste), red food coloring to your desired shade of pink or red, and milk as needed in a bowl to make a smooth, thin icing.
Directions for the chocolate drizzle:
- Melt 1/4 cup of milk chocolate pastilles with 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening over hot (not boiling) water in a double boiler; stir and heat until the mixture is thin enough to drip in strings from a spoon.
Directions for decorating:
- Drizzle each cooled cookie with a little peppermint drizzle on one side, and a little chocolate drizzle on the other. Let the cookies stand so the drizzle sets, about 30 minutes.
ChefSecret: Do not thicken the chocolate filling too much or it will become hard to spread and will tear the fragile cookie dough. If you have enough chocolate filling left over you can use it to drizzle instead of making the chocolate drizzle. You will have to rework the trim from the dough in order to get the full 60 count on the cookies.

A guardianship is not always necessary.
If the parents agree to let you take care of their child, they are not dangerous to the child in any way, and want to avoid having to go to court:
If the child will remain in California, the person taking care of the child can complete and sign a Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit:
Get a Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit and instructions. Make sure you read Family Code sections 6550-6552 and Probate Code sections 2353 and 2356 to learn about the specific requirements under the law.
Keep in mind that you may not be able to meet all the child's needs with the Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit or a notarized letter from the parents:

Firefox needs an extension that can produce very high-level performance profiling numbers with only casual effort.
We often get bug reports that say "Firefox is painfully slow on site X". It takes rather a lot of effort just to direct this kind of bug to the right person, because it's usually not immediately clear why the site is so slow. It would be awfully nice to be able to load a page and see not only how much time Firefox spends waiting for the network (something Firebug can already do) but also how much time we spend doing style resolution, reflow, frame construction, garbage collection, compiling JavaScript, running JavaScript, and so on. Even Boris Zbarsky, who's probably as comfortable using a profiler as anyone I work with, says such an extension would save him time.
On Mac, you could get this information using dtrace. If you're a programmer, you have a Mac, and you're interested in a fun side project, please get in touch with Boris or me.

By David Ignatius
WASHINGTON – Chuck Hagel means it when he describes himself as an "Eisenhower Republican." He kept a bust of President Dwight Eisenhower in his Senate office for a dozen years, and has a portrait of Ike on the wall of his current office at Georgetown University.
But the most compelling evidence of Hagel's fascination is that he purchased three-dozen copies of an Eisenhower biography and gave copies to President Obama, Vice President Biden and then-Defense Secretary Bob Gates, according to the book's author, David Nichols.
The book that so interested Hagel, "Eisenhower 1956," examines one of the most delicate and dangerous moments of Ike's presidency. Published in 2011, it's basically the story of how Eisenhower forced Israel, Britain and France to withdraw from their invasion of the Suez Canal – thereby establishing the United States as the dominant, independent power in the Middle East.
It's impossible to read Nichols' book without thinking of recent tensions between the U.S. and Israel over the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program. Just as Egypt's mercurial leader Gamal Abdel Nasser posed the pre-eminent threat to Israel in the 1950s, so it is today with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's Iran. What's interesting about Eisenhower is that, while sympathetic to Israel's defense needs, he was also determined to maintain an independent U.S. policy and avoid a war that might involve the Soviet Union.
As the Senate deliberates Hagel's nomination to be secretary of defense, it should consider the "Eisenhower 1956" narrative carefully.
Many themes come together at Suez: the falling empires of Britain and France; the rising global hegemony of the United States; the turmoil of the Arab world; and the assertive, unpredictable role of an Israel that, then as now, saw itself fighting for its life amid hostile Muslim nations.
Ike said in a March 29, 1956, letter to Winston Churchill that the Middle East was "the most important and bothersome of the problems that currently confront our nations." His anxiety increased in July, when Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal.
The British, French and Israelis – unbeknownst to Eisenhower and his advisers – were secretly plotting to roll back Nasser's nationalization of Suez. Their tripartite alliance, code-named "Operation Musketeer," was formalized in an Oct. 24 secret protocol that specified that Israel would invade the Sinai Peninsula five days later.
When the Israeli invasion came on Oct. 29, a week before the U.S. election, Eisenhower was irate. He told Secretary of State John Foster Dulles: "Foster, you tell 'em, God-damn-it, that we're going to apply sanctions, we're going to the United Nations, we're going to do everything that there is so we can stop this thing." The U.S, did, indeed, win a cease-fire resolution at the U.N., despite opposition from Britain, France and Israel.
Ike prevailed, winning re-election, forcing the attackers to withdraw from the canal, and enunciating a strategy for U.S.-led security in the region that came to be known as the "Eisenhower Doctrine."
How does this story apply to modern-day Israel and America – especially for an Obama administration that, while committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, devoutly hopes to avoid military action? The parallels are impossible to draw precisely, but it matters that the cautious and fiercely independent Eisenhower is a role model for the prospective future defense secretary.
David Ignatius' email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

August 2011 E-News Brief
Richard Neutra's Kronish Residence, threatened with demolition, has received a brief reprieve to give preservationists a chance to devise a plan to save the residence, while the City seeks to draft a historic preservation ordinance.
|Temporary fencing surrounds the property. Photo: Sandi Hemmerlein
Secluded in the canyons of Beverly Hills, the 1955 Kronish Residence was one of the largest Neutra residential projects. Built for tract developer Herbert Kronish and his new English bride, the design included unusual requirements such as mirrors on the ceiling of Mrs. Kronish's dressing room. Rare Carrara Glass (a pigmented structural glass) lines the walls of the master bath, and there are many other unique features.
The original listing characterized the property as a "tear down" with no mention of the Neutra design, and after several months on the market, the owners had decided to remove the structure and sell as an empty plot of land. The home, along with another hundred or so Neutra-designed properties, has no official landmark or historic property designation.
|Inside the property. Photo: Curbed LA
Beverly Hills is devoid of a preservation ordinance, and offers no legal protection for its historic structures. In recent months the city has witnessed the loss of several historic buildings including John Lautner's Shusett House and the Beverly Hills Friars Club, designed by Sidney Eisenshtat.
Following a Beverly Hills City Council meeting on the evening of August 2, owners agreed to delay their destructive plans until October 10, 2011. In a groundbreaking -- and promising -- action, the Council also asked the Planning Commission to draft a historic preservation ordinance for the city.
Architect and son Dion Neutra has started a campaign to re-imagine Kronish as a Neutra Library, and is currently seeking donations for the project. Read more about the efforts underway at Dion Neutra's blog: http://neutra.org/kronish.html
Docomomo US will continue to report news of the Kronish Residence as it develops.

Docomomo US intern and Columbia University Historic Preservation student Kaity Ryan reports from her experience this past spring at the Cape Cod Modern House Trust:
When I first read about the Cape Cod Modern House Trust, I was struck by the innovative yet logical concept behind their model. The Trust was started when a group of Modern houses sited within the bounds of the Cape Cod National Seashore fell into disrepair and were slated for demolition due to lack of maintenance funding. Recognizing their architectural importance and historical value, a group of local advocates created the Cape Cod Modern House Trust and initiated an agreement with the National Seashore. The intention of the Trust is to restore all seven of the Modernist houses owned by the National Seashore and reconfigure them as educational and cultural resources. The Kugel/Gips House (Charles Zehnder, 1970) in Wellfleet was the initial house restoration executed under the agreement. Kugel/Gips serves as a home-base of sorts for the Cape Cod Modern House Trust; providing a space for meetings, house tours, Trust-sponsored events, and the artist and scholar residency program. For select weeks, the house is rented to visitors to generate a revenue stream to sustain the Trust.
This May, I was afforded the opportunity to live in the Kugel/Gips House as a scholar-in-residence, researching the local architecture as well as the Cape Modern House Trust's model first-hand. While the house museum is an important tool for historic preservation advocacy, the number of closures due to lack of funding and visitation in recent years reflects the need for preservationists to think more creatively in terms of viability. The Cape Cod Modern House Trust presents such a model. Certainly, welcoming visitors to live in a preserved house comes along with its own set of criticisms – the main concern being potential for visitors damaging the structure - yet if the visitation volume is kept to a minimum and the caretaker ensures that visitors are mindful of the fragility of the house, the Cape Cod Modern House Trust's model is one that can be replicated as a viable model for preservation.

The Twentieth Century Society is a British organization dedicated to safeguarding the heritage of architecture and design in Britain from 1914 onwards. The Society's prime objectives are conservation, to protect the buildings and design that characterize the Twentieth Century in Britain, and education, to extend the public's knowledge and appreciation of them. Founded in 1979 as the Thirties Society in response to the need for a conservation focus on structures built after 1914 (where the Victorian Society, founded twenty years earlier, concludes its scope), it was re-named The Twentieth Century Society in 1992 with the broader mission to create understanding and appreciation of the best of all kinds of buildings erected in Britain in the 20th century.
Author and architectural historian Alan Powers, Chair of the Society, contributes this update:
Preston Bus Station
Recessions normally give breathing space to buildings threatened by development. The period up to 2008 was increasingly hectic, and post-1945 buildings were especially under threat owing to the development value of their sites. In several cases, such as the Commonwealth Institute (RMJM, 1962) in Holland Park, buildings protected by listing suffered attrition from the concessions made by the authorities established to make this protection real. In others, English Heritage, the government's expert advisers on listing, recommended major civic buildings such as the Birmingham City Library (John Madin, 1974) or the Preston Bus Station (BDP, 1969) for protection, but the government refused. It was hard not to hear the developers' money talking off stage. Both of these are large concrete structures, and both still standing in 2011, as the redevelopments proposed for their sites may or may not go ahead. Both have become national news stories, with local defenders whose enthusiasm has provoked the standard responses of 'brutalist monstrosity'.
Journalists are often part of the problem, since many of them only see one story where modernist heritage is concerned – the one that goes 'these crazy people want to keep this rubbish.' This story came out in the high-profile campaign over the Robin Hood Gardens flats in the East End of London, designed by Alison and Peter Smithson in 1968-72. The Twentieth Century Society challenged the decision not to list and has published a book recording the building and the campaign. It still stands and is fully occupied by people who enjoy living there, even though the building needs refurbishment.
Architecture of the 1920s and 30s tends to be less problematic. A large number of the famous London Underground stations have recently been listed, while campaigns are afoot to win lottery money for Lubetkin's Dudley Zoo (1937) in the West Midlands. The Twentieth Century Society has played a key role in helping both these campaigns, while continuing to run its programme of events and issue publications, including the series Twentieth Century Architects in association with RIBA Publishing, now comprising six titles since 2009 and more to come.

Ginn can't catch a cold!
Ginn can't catch a cold!
Ginn sucks!
Oh HELL naw... ...all you hard-headed, stubborn, completely clueless, brain dead, mini-skirt wearing, devoid of any football knowledge whatsoever, arguementative, stone cold loser, highlight clip worshipping, excuse making, attention whoring, debate class teaching, Ginnger apologists.....
..get your sorry ***** off the 49ers boards trying to tell them what a steal they got for this nerd and get in here and pay your respects to this pansy...
The day has come...
Don't be the next feelthepain! Man up!
Ginn sucks!
Hey, shady baby, I'm hot like the prodigal son
Pick a petal eenie meenie miney moe
And, flower, you're the chosen one
Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in a grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun, oh, no
I wonder if the FO made it a point to make sure he ended up in San Fran? It just seems so perfect
At Ginn's introductory press conference today, Mike Singletary reportedly walked up to the podium and said the following:
"And let me tell you about the young man we just traded for. He's a young man named Ted Ginn, Ted Ginn Jr. And we traded for the Ginn Family.......You're gonna be thrilled every time you watch him as a punt returner because he's gonna be a great returner for us and he's gonna be a young man who's gonna be a great *points and claps* Thank you. And let me put it to you this way....*waits* Let me tell you this: Ted Ginn is a San Francisco 49er. Ted Ginn is someone that you're gonna be proud of. Ted Ginn and his family will give us everything they have. I promise you that. And Ted Ginn is gonna be someone that you will enjoy watching play for a long, long time as a San Francisco 49er."
This thread brings a tear to my eye. Its glorious.
I know quite a few 49er fans out here in AZ and they were excited about getting him. I got the news at 11:20 this morning about the trade from one of them and I was very excited that one we got rid of him and now I get to laugh at all of the 49er fans that think he will be great.

- Top 7 Green Booze Design StoriesSt. Paddy's Day is definitely an homage to Ireland, but there's no denying that it also pays tribute to something a little more universal - booze. And while you may be thinking "What the heck does alcohol have to do with green design?" there are actually a keg's worth of hooch-related eco innovations out there that you might not know about yet. From a man that recycles his own pee into whisky to a machine that turns beer brewery waste into power, read on to see the best boozy green stories we have on tap.1
- top green booze stories pissky
PISSKY: Gilpin Whisky is Recycled from Diabetic's Urine
 James Gilpin has a bit of a different interpretation of the adage "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Gilpin, who has Type 1 Diabetes got to thinking about elderly patients with diabetes, like his grandmother, who secrete tons of unprocessed medicine and sugar in their urine and had a cool - albeit a little gross - breakthrough. His Gilpin Family Whisky project is a high end line of single malt whiskey made from the sugar-laden urine of people with diabetes - Pissky! We'll drink to that!2
- Beer Can House
Beer Can House Has 50,000 "Bottles of Beer" on the Walls
 99 bottles of beer is already quite a few to have on your walls, but how about 50,000?! Well, that's about how many John Milkovisch used for his Beer Can House. He drank many of the cans himself (not his least favorite part of the job, we're sure) and they're on the walls, swaying from the front porch, and pretty much everywhere else!3
- top green booze stories beer fuel
PurposeEnergy Turns Beer Brewery Waste Into Clean-Burning Biofuel
 We've seen everything from ice cream to 4Loko being used as fuel and now we can add beer to the list of alternative energy sources - well, beer waste, that is. PurposeEnergy Inc. has created a device that recycles the waste from brewing beer into a functional natural gas.4
- top green booze stories beer crate pavilion
Intoxicating Pavilion Made of 33,000 Yellow Beer Crates
 It must have taken a lot of frat parties to empty out the 33,000 yellow beer crates that architects SHSH stacked atop one another to create this intoxicating pavilion. Using the crates like giant legos, the design features interesting architectural touches like columns, arches and even domes inside.5
- top green booze stories whiskey distillery
World's Greenest Whisky Distillery Unveiled in Scotland
 Okay, so we know today is supposed to be all about Ireland, but Scotland has been greening their booze game too so we need to give them a shoutout. Scottish drinks giant Diageo recently unveiled their £40 million environmentally friendly Roseisle Distillery in Elgin. The innovative project by Austin-Smith: Lord Architects infuses traditional distilling with modern environmental technologies and was even awarded a BREEAM 'Excellent' award.6
- top green booze stories bottle xylophone
DIY (Drink-It-Yourself) Xylophone Made From Beer Bottles!
 Up until we say this crazy contraption, the only music we thought could come out of beer drinking was awful karaoke. Designer Sam Gensburg's creation is a lot less painful on the ears and features a special packaging for beer bottles that allows them to be transformed into a tone-accurate xylophone after you've drunk 'em.7
- top green booze stories heineken wobo
HEINEKEN WOBO: A Beer Bottle That Doubles as a Brick
 Have your brick and drink it too? Famed beer brewer Alfred Heineken and Dutch architect John Habraken came out with their Heineken WOBO (world bottle) brick all the way back in 1963, but the principle behind it still rings true today. As you probably already guessed, the idea behind the boozy brick was that thirsty people could drink their fix of beer from the WOBO and reuse it to build structures. Cheers to that.8

The plurality of respondents to this week's RBJ Daily Report Snap Poll—43 percent—says the North American Free Trade Agreement has been bad for the Rochester economy. This compares with 40 percent who say it has helped and 17 percent who say its effect has been neutral.
Jan. 1 was the 20th anniversary of NAFTA. The accord signed by the United States, Canada and Mexico was highly controversial, and debate over its impact continues.
NAFTA created a single market of 400 million people and one-third of the world's output, according to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service. Key NAFTA provisions included tariff and non-tariff trade liberalization, rules of origin, services trade, foreign investment, intellectual property rights protection, government procurement and dispute resolution. NAFTA side agreements covered labor and environmental provisions.
Supporters such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce argue that under NAFTA, trade with Canada and Mexico has more than tripled to $1.2 trillion, supporting some 14 million U.S. jobs—including nearly 5 million net jobs generated by the increase in trade.
Opponents maintain NAFTA has cost jobs and increased income inequality in this country. Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, for example, says NAFTA is responsible for a net loss of 1 million U.S. jobs.
Nearly 60 percent of Snap Poll respondents say they have consistently supported free trade, and 14 percent have consistently opposed free trade.
Some readers have changed their views over the years. Nearly a quarter say they used to be
for free trade but oppose it now. And 5 percent used to be against free trade but support it now.
Roughly 250 readers participated in this week's poll, conducted March 3 and 4. Of those, 38 percent are Republicans, 20 percent are Democrats and 42 percent identified themselves as non-affiliated or "other."
Overall, has NAFTA been good or bad for the Rochester economy?
Bad: 43%
Good: 40%
Neutral: 17%
Has your assessment of NAFTA's impact changed your view about free trade in general?
I used to be for free trade and still support it now. 58%
I used to be for free trade but oppose it now. 23%
I used to be against free trade and still oppose it now. 14%

What is your political affiliation?

Too many of the jobs we sent to Mexico, people in the United States will not do!
—Harold Ley, Stony Point Business Connection
I wonder what Ross Perot would say about NAFTA today? From what I recall in the 1992 presidential campaign, he warned against the passage of NAFTA. He stated that if NAFTA was passed, the American public would "hear that giant sucking sound." The giant sucking sound he was referring to was manufacturing jobs going to Mexico.
—John Rynne, president, Rynne, Murphy & Associates Inc.
It dismantled our local economy and its diverse manufacturing base—that NAFTA sucking sound that Ross Perot focused part of his 1992 campaign on, along with his plans to balance the federal budget, further economic nationalism, strengthen the war on drugs and implement "electronic town halls" throughout the nation for direct, transparent democracy. That was needed then, and NAFTA is but only one of Mr. Perot's reasons why we need to take back our country now!
—G. Palis
Judging by the horrible position we are in jobwise, it is a no-brainer. We were sold down the river!
—J.A. DePaolis, Penfield
Rochester has taken a huge hit; just look at Eastman Kodak Co., Xerox Corp. and Bausch & Lomb Inc. They all started plants in Mexico when this first started and (took) the good-paying jobs with them. They were able to avoid environmental laws and get cheap labor. Those small companies left behind have a federal government piling regulations on them every year. The products that are imported from Mexico don't get a tariff to bring them up to what the cost of doing business in the United States is. Mexico ends up with low-paying jobs and garbage dumped wherever.
—Mike Knox
More than 50,000 good jobs are gone in the Greater Rochester area since 1993. Side agreements on labor and the environment have been unenforceable, a fact lamented by Bill Clinton, who pushed NAFTA through. Trade surpluses turned into ever-increasing trade deficits with Mexico, and that is a fact. No matter how much we "trade," if our trade deficits increase with a trade member, jobs are hurt and the costs to society for income inequality, equal opportunity, the tax base, upward mobility and poverty are severe and growing.
—Jim Bertolone, Rochester AFL-CIO
Free trade is all good. Just don't let corporations hide their profits overseas.
—Phil Plossl
Tariffs of any kind protect the jobs of a select, politically powerful few, and we never hear about the jobs in import/export that were never created. Also a hidden factor is the increased prices for the U.S. citizens for the goods we want made more cheaply in Mexico and Canada. It is better for the U.S. economy that our workers get better and more technical education to lead the world than for us to draft laws and tariffs that will protect us from the world.
—Clifford Jacobson M.D., Vanguard Psychiatric Services P.C.

iPhone meets genome.
With employees spread across five continents, effective mobile communications are essential for Illumina, a San Diego, CA-based biotechnology company that designs breakthrough tools for genetic analysis. Using iPhone, sales reps can track customers, executives can manage employees, and everyone can stay in touch. And soon Illumina will make it possible for consumers to carry their personal genomes with them on iPhone.
iPhone was an obvious technology choice, says Jay Flatley, Illumina's President and CEO. "First and foremost, it's a great phone. But what our employees need goes well beyond that. They need a computer in their hands that can do calculations and data searches, and can manage sales using SalesForce Mobile. Because of the flexibility of the interface, iPhone was the ideal tool for us."
With iPhone apps like Workday HR management software and Cisco WebEx Meeting Center, Illumina executives can do everything from tracking payroll to participating in meetings wherever they are. "iPhone has improved the overall productivity of people at Illumina," says Scott Kahn, Illumina's Chief Information Officer. "It's rare that you deploy a tool and don't get any negative feedback. But with iPhone, the first response is usually 'Thank you.'"
Easy Integration
Deploying iPhone within Illumina's existing IT infrastructure couldn't be easier. Using iPhone Configuration Utility, the IT staff can push Configuration Profiles for their virtual private network (VPN) and enforce passcodes to secure each device. Setting up iPhone to leverage Exchange capabilities is as simple as double-clicking a configuration file, says Scott Skellenger, Senior Director of Global IT Operations. "All we have to do is direct the phone to the Exchange server and input the user's credentials, and they're off and running."
"iPhone has definitely delivered for Illumina," Kahn agrees. "We found it to be an enterprise-ready device primarily because of the security features. Having the ability to remotely wipe the device was key. It also had to have Exchange, and it needed to be web savvy. On iPhone, those features alone opened the door."
Illumina sees even more business benefits with the latest iPhone software and hardware. "Improvements such as cut-and-paste and the device-wide search capability have added extraordinary value," Skellenger says. "With iPhone 3.0 software, we're able to search our emails, access the global address list in a seamless way, and calendar as if we were sitting at our desks."
The Mobile Personal Genome
For Illumina, iPhone is more than a great mobile business device - it's the delivery platform for an ambitious new approach to personalized medicine.
"Illumina is developing an iPhone application that will allow consumers to carry around their genomic information," Flatley explains. "Part of it may be on the phone itself, part of it may be in the cloud that the phone would have access to. It would allow the customer to bring up the application and interact with it live in conjunction with their doctor."
The iPhone SDK has been extremely easy to work with, Flatley says. Though Illumina's developers had never written an iPhone application before, they were able to produce a fully functional prototype of the application within just ten days. When completed, the final application will allow the company to present complex genomic datasets in an easy-to-understand, consumer-oriented interface.
"The understanding of the human genome, which is very inaccessible to most people, can start to become accessible through iPhone," Flatley says. "It will be a mechanism for communications, for sharing, and for data management. iPhone can translate something very complicated into something very user-friendly." At Illumina, the convergence of science with iPhone is helping transform the future of individual health care.

Skip to comments.Breaking: Senate approves sweeping immigration overhaul
Posted on 06/27/2013 1:28:10 PM PDT by Sub-Driver
Title only.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
Ball now in Boehner's court...
Hm, well, is it time for ropes and lamp-posts?
Dead ball
This is what happens when a president overturns existing federal immigration law which also causes the Border Patrol to sue him. It generates cries for immigration reform! How neat a trick was that? Pathetic.
Just words on paper...a mere formality with mob rule.
68 - 32.
He's going to cry all over it.
When America falls (which looks sooner rather than later), I hope some of these open-borders traitors are still living, so they can be hunted down like the Israelis hunted down old Nazi war criminals.
May each and every one of these bastards burn in hell.
Welcome to aMerika..... Obumbler's world.
Why such a big deal over a bill that CANNOT pass the House?
I will gladly donate to whomever decides to primary Rubio (D - Havana).
And many Senate Republicans have just sold America down the river. May they live to regret their trust in the vile reptiles in control of the destruction.

If their "guests" don't get to them first in a home invasion.
There sure is a lot of consistency from our government. Everyday the criminals are given a pass while because of their criminal actions our freedoms are restricted.
Criminal trespassers need to be expelled. The are the sub-human equivalent of the Asian Carp!
Now, watch some of the 14 Rino $hitheads who voted for cloture will vote against it in the final vote. They will try to do that for cover. It aint going to work. Primary these bastards out!!

Won't make any difference anyway. Nothing but silly games that will do nothing to securing the border. The border will remain the same, no additional border agents, no fence, etc. It will stay the way it is since the House is useless.
So, 68 people need tried for treason.
I smell a crap load of primaries in their future.
Not a single (D) nay. Why can't GOPers vote in solidarity once in a while?
: )
Hear, hear!
Rand Paul voted against it. Despite what some on here said he would do...
"Not a single (D) nay. Why cant GOPers vote in solidarity once in a while?"
Usually they let the "moderate" democrats hide behind the democrat voting republicans to protect their seats and deceive the people. But Schumer wanted a big number.
Yep. I have plenty of rope and more then enough oak trees.
Yup. Like 1986 all over again.
Because who knows what the NSA has on some of those clowns.
The Senate GOP RINOs are the "Washington Generals"... you remember them? They were the "opposing" team to the Harlem Globetrotters. But in reality just part of the show. It remains to be seen if Bonehead and the House GOP are also the Washington Generals...??? We expect the DemWits to screw America, but when the GOP does too... we are indeed dismayed.
May everyone who voted for this become the victim of a home invasion at the hands of their illegal "friends."
You're right....14!
Now I want to hear Boehner say it is DOA.
Ayotte voted yes. The NSA must have data mined the heck out of her E-mails, cellphone, etc.. If she's ever been naughty, the NSA knows how to change her vote.
Anybody who voted 'YEA' on this 'destruction of America' bill, especially those with an "R" behind their names, should be a (politically) dead man/woman walking.
You've got a greater chance of the Houston Astros winning the World Series.
Our tolerance for debt-based welfare to immigrants is equal to our tolerance for the debt that we are willing to pass onto our children and grandchildren.
Reduce our tolerance for debt-based Federal Programs, and our tolerance for immigration will also be reduced.
Our Southern Border is under the control of Mexican Drug Gangs. An illegal attempt by AG Holder to challenge their grip failed with Fast and Furious.
Obama has allowed INS officials to increase the number of got-aways and to decrease the number of illegal alien invaders actually caught.
Gullible News outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal routinely run articles quoting Obamanation statistics that numbers of captured illegal alien invaders are down, and thus there is no such thing as the surge of illegal alien invaders from Mexico and other Southern Hemisphere Socialist Countries.
Most News outlets refuse to come to our Southern Border to document their obviously false assertions.
Most State Politicians cower when our sorry NINE SUPREMES dictate that the State has no authority to protect itself from illegal alien invaders.
As long as THE NINE SUPREMES have 4 Socialist Judges, there will always be a high risk that some gullible Judge from the Majority will cross over to the dark side and continue the destruction of our US Constitution as the signature accomplishment of the US Welfare State. Traitor John Roberts support of Obamacare is the most horrific example.
Thus, it is incumbent upon those of us who still value the US Constitution to oppose the dark side, what we now call Obamanation.
The purpose of passing a Federal reform immigration bill this year is to allow illegal alien invaders from Mexico, and other Central and South American Socialist Countries, to vote for Socialist-Democrats and appeasing RINOs in the 2014 and 2016 USA National Elections for more debt-generating welfare to future illegal alien invaders to become future Socialist-Democrat voters.
These future Socialist-Democrat voters should be called McCain-Rubio Democrats, as no other Senators have done more to encourage gullible RINOs to appease and otherwise cave-in to debt-dependent Democrats than these two sorry RINO Senators.
Stand your ground, FReepers! Raise the Gadsden Battle Flag!
It is us against the gullible supporters of Obamanation!
For example:
While Rubio and his Eight Senate Gangsters put out political smoke and mirrors to get a bill passed this year, nothing they have said will change the basic problem of aliens illegally invading the USA.
The Basic Problem: Illegal aliens invade the USA for Welfare and Wages.
Solutions that address the Basic Problem:
1.) End the Anchor Baby Law.
2.) End the Hospital Emergency Room No Payment Law (EMTALA).
3.) End ANY other Welfare to Aliens.
4.) Fine US employers $1,000 per day per employee who is an alien.
5.) Spend NO money on securing the border. It is a bottomless money pit.
6.) Spend money on Chainlink/ Concertina wire desert prisons for the EXISTING Federal Law for a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for repeat offenders who have invaded our Country more than once.
7.) Transfer Border Invasion Enforcement to the US National Guard in each State, and thus under the control of the Governor of each State. The less Federal involvement, the better.
8.) Repeal all State and Federal Laws that prohibit voter officials and Police from requesting proof of US Citizenship for any reason what so ever.
9.) Be as hostile to all illegal alien invaders as we should be to all Federal politicians and Federal Judges who vote for or support another Ted Kennedy-style amnesty bill with no significant Federal enforcement.
Contact your local TEA Party, and plan to kick the sorry RINOs and even sorrier Democrats out of Congress in 2014!
It is all about the money FReepers, YOUR tax money.
Boehner says it will move no further than the Senate. We shall see. Hopefully, Boehner will not flip-flop as Rubio did.
I'm trying to work on it. [See post 84]
Looks like Tennessee won't be joining the Red States of America in the coming secession (unless they draw and quarter their two traitors.)
The traitorous rat bastards all have security and/or live in gated communities. They don't have a care in the world.
Wait until the 90% of blacks who voted for the boy in the WH see their job opportunities go to criminal trespassers.
Might they then finally figure out the plantation is no way to live?
That's the dirty secret that Cruz called McCain and others on.
Vote for cloture which allows a simple majority to pass it, then vote against it knowing full well that the democrat majority will pass it.
The end result is the traitors can tell their constituents "But but but ... I voted against it! Here look at the record!".
I love my state of Tenn, but why normally conservative voters sent the two dumbest people to the Senate is beyond me.
I'm proud to say I voted third party when they were on the ballot. Our governor, Bill Haslam, is even a bigger RINO idiot...almost as bad as Don "Tax Terrorist" Sundquist (RINO-TN).
I hate to say this but Dem Phil Bredesen was actually a good governor for eight years.

State Privacy Laws Regarding Library Records
The American Library Association encourages all librarians, particularly those in public libraries, to work with their local legal counsel to ensure they understand state confidentiality laws so they may respond quickly to any requests from law enforcement. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have laws protecting the confidentiality of library records; two states, Kentucky and Hawaii, have attorney general's opinions protecting library users' privacy. The language of these provisions vary from state to state. The ALA recommends that each library adopt a policy that specifically recognizes the confidentiality of information sought or received, and materials consulted borrowed or acquired by a library user. These materials may include database search records, circulation records, interlibrary loan records and other personally identifiable uses of library materials, facilities, programs or services, such as reference interviews. Libraries are advised to rely on existing laws to control behavior that involves public safety or criminal behavior.
Libraries should have in place procedures for working with law enforcement officers when a subpoena or other legal order for records is made. Libraries will cooperate expeditiously with law enforcement within the framework of state law.
For information on confidentiality policies, see "Developing a Confidentiality Policy," pp. 347–355, Intellectual Freedom Manual, sixth edition, 2001, and "Guidelines for Developing a Library Privacy Policy." This chapter discusses confidentiality and the law, state law protection of library records, what librarians can do, and writing, adopting, and implementing a confidentiality policy.
See also ALA's existing American Library Association Privacy Policies and Statements, Privacy and Confidentiality, Privacy Tool Kit, Privacy: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights, and a Q&A on privacy and confidentiality.

Last week in Region 8 action, the Carbon Dinos cemented their lead in baseball with an 8-4 win over the Emery High Spartans. The Lady Dinos grabbed second place in region softball with a 14-4 win over the Lady Spartans.
In softball, the Dinos got revenge for an earlier loss with this handling of the Spartans. Morgan Warburton hit for the cycle (single, double, triple and homerun) to lead Carbon to the victory.
Carbon scored 11 runs in the first three innings before Emery finally scored with one single run in the fourth inning and three more in the fifth inning.
Although this wasn't Emery's best game of the season, Coach Alton was impressed that the players fought to the end. "We can play with anybody if we but put a total game together. We have four games left to show who we are," said Alton. The sophmore team played Uintah on Wednesday and won both games.
In baseball action, Carbon used a six run fourth inning to claim control of the game that Emery had led 3-1 after three innings.
Carbon collected 14 hits including six doubles and a pair of homeruns in the win. Conlee Luke's homerun was the Spartans only extra base hit out of six hits.
Both teams are currently in third place in region play with 2-3 records. Both teams have four games left in their seasons.

Syria's conciliatory overtures today—including agreeing to cease production of chemical weapons and surrender its caches—hurt both gold and oil, which fell the most in two months and three weeks, respectively, on the news.
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) all fell, as did the iShares Silver Trust (SLV). This morning, RBC Capital Markets noted that Syria would weigh on gold price, continuing a trend from earlier in the week, as saber-rattling produced only a brief uptick in buying. (The metal is also battling the widely held view that higher interest rates will be bad news for gold bugs.)
Oil also fell, as the potential for supply disruption stemming from U.S. intervention waned; the United States Oil Fund (USO) was down during regular trading.
Aside from the near-term concerns about Syria, Morgan Stanley commodities team also noted that "the global oil balance appears to be loosening": Global supply appears to be improving, while recent reports suggest Saudi production exceeded 10 mmb/d in August, highlighting the kingdom's willingness to supply tight markets. Demand is also at risk. Crude runs are falling seasonally, and higher crude prices continue to pressure refinery margins, risking further run cuts. Rising subsidized retail prices in India, Malaysia and China only risk eroding demand further. Lastly, building distillate stocks, particularly in Asia, reduce the need for higher runs and distillate restocking this fall.

Comments: This is a great racquet! It is stable and solid feeling, even with a stiff poly in it. I strung it at 54 lbs with
Kirschbaum Pro Line X and it feels great, but probably strung it a little tight. I am going to try a multi in it next and then maybe go
down to about 52 with a poly next. Solid with every groundstroke, every serve, and every volley! I don't think it is all that
powerful, but the weight of the racquet will actually do a lot of the work for you, especially on serve. Kick serve with the
string/racquet combo was wicked. I never tried the 16x18 pattern to compare, but love the 18x20 pattern none the less. Great
solid racquet that deserves a playtest!
From: CF, 10/14
Comments: My son does like the feel of this racquet, but he has broken a total of 4 of these. It appears Wilson will
not warranty a racquet that has a cracking issue in the throat on each side at the base of the string bed if there are scratch marks
on the top of the head. ALL 4 have cracked in the same spot and while serving. 2 were warrantied and 2 were not. I guess we will
have to switch if he breaks the other ones we bought. It's a good thing they are cheaper now.
From: John, 10/13
Comments: I got this racquet not too long ago and I love it. My strokes have become smoother, I'm hitting better
balls, and my serve is looking better than ever. I switched from the Babolat Aero Pro Drive and this racquet I believe this is better.
From: Ben, 8/13
Comments: I tried a demo of this racquet to compare it with my 2010 Wilson BLX Six One 95 16x18. My game is old
style, flat shots with little topspin and continental grip on almost all shots and serves. This racquet increased the accuracy and
placement of my serves and I enjoyed that as it is the strongest part of my game. It has slightly less power and feel compared to
the 16x18. The TW review of this racquet has nailed it right in other aspects of comparison. I prefer the extra pop and power on
16x18 as I need it at my age so I will stick with it. Thanks to all the folks at TW for an excellent demo program.
From: Dushyant,6/13
Comments: I didn't like this racquet. It was way too demanding and the spin potential was extremely low. I feel like
it would be best suited for a 5.0 player that likes that bang the ball around the court flat and hard.
From: Evan, 2/13
Comments: I got a demo of this racquet along with the Juice Pro and Pro Staff 90. Having played with the previous
version of this racquet, there was a noticeable upgrade in the maneuverability, but there were also times where the frame felt less
stable for me. The Pro Staff 90 had a much more stability and it seems that all of this generation of Wilson play lighter, so this one
just wasn't my favorite. Still a good performing racquet with a decent weight.
From: Anon, 2/13
Comments: This is the best racquet I have ever owned. I switched from a lighter KFactor and I hit like I never hit
before. I could control my serve and hit it harder without changing my swing speed all that much. olleys have great placement and
this racquet is all around a great racquet for good players looking for good control and spin.
From: Matt, 9/12
String type and tension: Babolat Duralast 16g @ 56lbs
Comments: I found myself in love with the Six.One 95 series after playtesting the BLX edition for a entire year, but
found I just didn't like the 16x18 string pattern on the other version of this racquet. I researched around and searched hard to
find demos of this string patterned version, but it was rather difficult. I took a whim and bought it anyway. Amazing choice for
me. I loved every single aspect of this racquet, from it's easy maneuverability to the rock solid stability from the baseline. Even
though it had a swingweight of about 333, I found I could pretty much move it quickly anywhere I needed it to be, and with that, I
could also crush balls with that extra little weight. At 12.3 ounces, it really plays more like a 11.8 ounce racquet. Super solid on all
shots, especially serve and volley, and I could generate some nasty second serve aces with this bad boy. The 18x20 string pattern
does give me tons of bite on the ball without the ball flying on me like in the 16x18 patterned version, and I really enjoyed hitting
all different types of shots from all over the court. I do feel like if you string the racquet too high it might shrink the sweet spot,
but even with lower tensions in the low 50s to 40s gives you excellent control, just as much control as if I was using a 60 pound
tension. Nice, deep
pocket from the sweet spot, and I can have nothing negative to say. If
I had to knock something on it, I would say that I really wish they'd
make a pro Staff box beam version of it, and that they'd ought to use
pure leather grips for these sticks. But this is yet another solid
update, and I've been very happy with them for longer than any other
racquet now.
From: Michael, 8/12
String type and tension: Kirschbaum P2 Red, 52 lbs
NTRP Rating: 5.0
Comments: WOW! I've tried all of Wilson's top pro racquets and this tops them all in every category. I was amazed!
It has very good power when needed, great spin, and it is very comfortable. Ball placement on serves is a breeze. It has the most
control out of any racquet I've ever tried! Very Impressive! The only thing I would recommend to Wilson is that they bring back the
K-Factor carbon and get rid of this BLX Amplifeel nonsense. It makes the racquet feel weird and less connected to it and the ball.
Overall this is the best racquet on the market right now.
From: Greg, 7/12
String type and tension: Gamma Professional 17g @ 58 lbs
Comments: I'm starting to get some really good wins on the board with this stick. Amplifeel is the best!
From: Lukas, 6/12
String type and tension: Luxilon Adrenaline Rough @ 62 lbs
Comments: This is one of the best racquets I've ever used coming from the K-Blade Tour and the Pro
Staff 95(2012) all those have perfect control and this one has the most power without the need of lead tape.
From: MZ, 6/12
Comments: The major noticeable difference from last year's is the lower
swing weight. It almost feels like a completely different racquet, so if
you have the older version, don't think that the newer one is just a
small upgrade. The newer one is more maneuverable, and swings faster
despite having the same weight. Not certain what the Amplifeel was
suppose to do..I didn't notice any big difference in terms of vibrations
between this year and last year's version.
From: Anon, 5/12
Comments: Wilson managed to add more control and maneuverability in upgrading last year's BLX. My
shots feel crisper and more powerful, yet more solid and controlled. I've tried every iteration of this racquet for years;
this and the Hypercarbon 6.1 are by far my favorites. Huge upgrade over last years' BLX.
From: Av, 4/12
String type and tension: Babolat RPM Blast 16
Comments: I tried this racquet for a few days. It is very solid with amazing control. For me the swing
weight/heft was too much. I could not generate adequate racquet head speed.
From: David, 4/12
String type and tension: Wilson NXT 16 gauge, 57 lbs
Comments: I've played every version of the Wilson 95 dating back to the original Prostaff Kevlar 6.0 95.
I've had my
love affairs with various versions over the years, but nothing like the new 2012 BLX 95 version. I picked up three of
them to
replace my KFactor 18 x 20 versions after hitting with a demo stick for 5 days. The rackets felt identical to my Kfactors
in weight,
but they were much more solid and less harsh on mishits. The Amplifeel certainly does its intended job on cutting
down on
vibration. My groundstrokes on both sides were crisp, volleys were extremely solid (even touch shots) and I was able to
pick up 6
more mphs on my serves. All the benefits (plus more) of my KFactors without the need for added lead tape. These
sticks will not
be leaving my bag anytime soon. Thank you Wilson Sports!!!
From: Mike, 3/12
String type and tension: Luxilon Monotec SuperSense 16L, 54lbs
Headsize: 95
NTRP Rating: 4.0
Comments: I bought this racquet last week as a replacement for my K factor 95 18/20, which has been
my go-to
stick for several years. That racquet was strung at 70 lbs with a different hybrid duo (I don't r4member which). It's time
to restring
that frame, so I was interested in trying a new mix. The BLX frame is strung at 65 lbs with Lux in the mains and NXT in
crosses. After two long sets of play the racquet/string combo plays a bit better than the K stick. The first half hour of
play the
frame played too stiff, but by the end of play it was feeling great. All the Six-1 95's I've played with don't give you a lot
power, but
at 6' 2" and 200 lbs, I generate a lot of power on my own. I'm a 74-year-old 4.0 player,and I love the control and touch
from these
frames. I can generate a lot of topspin, my slice backhand is really effective, and the stability at net is a real plus. All
said, this is a
great racquet, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs control and stability and who has adequate power
From: Anon, 3/12
Comments: This is by far the best racquet I've ever played with. I just switched from the BLX Six One Pro
Tour 90
and before that I was playing with the Babolat Aero Pro Drive. The unstrung weight of the Federer racquet is 339g
where as my
new stick is at 332g. Even though the difference is only 7g, it honestly feels like a 30g difference. It has the advantages
that come
with a heavier stick but the maneuverability of a light one. More depth and easiness to hit my backhand slice, more pop
on serve,
my forehand is simply devastating with this racquet, there is nothing I don't like about it. Really, if you're serious about
purchasing a solid racquet with a great feel, you've got to pick this one. I'm still in awe after one week of having it!
From: Anon, 3/12
Comments: I've had this racquet about a week and it is the bomb! Very stable frame and it is the best
racquet I've ever used for my backhand slice. Excellent for volleys as well! I could generate plenty of power on my
serves with this
stick. I have it strung with Genesis Typhoon at 59 lbs and it feels very crisp! Has a great combination of control,
touch, and
enough power to hit outrights from the baseline. Go get one and see for yourself!
From: Brett, 2/12
Comments: I just switched to this racquet from the babolat pure drive roddick gt
because I was seeking a racquet with greater control and much less power. This racquet allowed me to hit a nice flat
ball when I
wanted to but I also had the feel to get it deep with a lot of topspin on defensive shots. I would only recommend this
racquet to
players with a full,fast swing.
From: Bob, 2/12
Comments: This is an absolutely superb frame. It has a more full feeling to it as well as not being quite
as stiff as
the previous iterations of this frame. Plenty of power on demand for when you want to really drive the ball but also easy
to use in
defensive positions as well. Killer serving. I'm getting two of these as backup to my nCode 6.1 95 18x20 frames
because, even
though they are different, they are equal.

Custom Grilles
Grille Emblems | The Finishing Touch to Your Factory or Custom Grille
A grille emblem is a source of pride for vehicle manufacturers because it's a final signature on what designers and engineers have spent a lot of time and hard work creating. It's fair to say a grille emblem is similar to an artist's name on a completed painting - because both represent a show of pride about what's been created, and in the creator's own abilities to produce it. And while pieces by any artist will vary, the signature on them is distinctive in its own right because it's the one constant that doesn't change. If an artist or carmaker goes in a new direction, that signature may be the only thing that's recognizable initially - until what's newly created becomes appreciated on its own merits.
