Jim True-Frost is best known for the five seasons he's played cop-turned-middle-school-teacher Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski on HBO's The Wire. But he's also a stage actor with extensive credits as a member of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company. He lives in Cambridge with his wife, the legal scholar Cora True-Frost, who is teaching at Harvard Law School. And beginning February 9, he'll play Brutus in the American Repertory Theatre's production of Julius Caesar, which is staged by French director Arthur Nauzyciel and set in the JFK '60s. Jim and I talked at the ART rehearsal space in Cambridge.
So, is Prez over?
Yeah. For all intents and purposes. They do check in as a sort of "Where is he now," and one of my former students is still involved in the story and he comes to see me. But there's nothing too much about my story.
It's unusual, even in a TV series, to have characters develop over time like that. Did you ever have disagreements about, "gee, I don't think Prez would do this or say this"?
No. You can tell because you're a fan of the show how meticulous the writing is, how carefully planned it all is. It's not like each week they're asking, "What should we have him do this week?" It's more like they have the whole season planned. And what we know now is that David Simon actually had all five seasons planned. And his genius is such that no one ever questioned it — not out of any kind of intimidation, he was actually open to talking to everybody all the time — but everybody trusted that he was the last arbiter.
Where did your name come from?
My name was Jim True. And almost all of my credits for movies and TV before 1999 were as Jim True. My wife's last name was Frost, so we both took the hyphenated name True-Frost when we got married in 1999.
Usually you hear of that when a couple has a child, but not when they're getting married.
We're both feminists, and Cora didn't particularly want to take my name. But we both liked the idea of the change of identity that happens when you get married. So combining the names seemed like a good option. It's rife with complications — if we have kids and their names are hyphenated, and they marry someone else whose name is hyphenated, what are they supposed to do, have a four-barreled name? But we'll leave that problem for them.
When did you move to Cambridge?
Fall of 2005. Between 1994 and 2004 I was mainly in New York. After doing a lot of theater work in Chicago and starting to get movie parts there, I moved to New York and did things like Affliction, the Nick Nolte movie, and Singles, the Cameron Crowe movie, and The Hudsucker Proxy, the Coen Brothers movie.
I was looking at your history and seeing you'd done all kinds of theater . . .but no Shakespeare.
That's what I was curious about. I saw The Rivals and thought, okay, there's Sheridan . . .The Rivals and Playboy of the Western World, the Synge play, those are the two forays into style and language, but Shakespeare was sort of the frontier that I was waiting to explore.

Great Lakes Steelhead Flylines
Well, just want to hear some different opionions on favorite lines that you guys use in the Great Lakes region with spey rods?
Our rivers in the Great Lakes region are generally smaller, tighter, and contain more obstacles than western steelhead streams. Although, there are exceptions with waterways like the St. Mary's river, Muskegon River, Big Manistee and Niagra River. Spey fishing has become popular in recent years, but many anglers perform double spey, single spey, and roll casts using european, fast action rods. This allows anglers to high stick nymph as well, yet use their rod in larger rivers and in the surf too.
I do alot of indicator nymphing with my spey rod, and a floating line is needed to nymph effectivly. A line that has a long belly is best, since it will allow better mending and roll casting when presenting the fly. Often, a long belly line such as a double taper will not have enough punch to cast indicators and splitshot. This lead to the question....do I buy a DT line for mending, roll casting, and better presentation, or do I rely on a short head nymphing line that takes alot more effort to mend line and roll cast? I looked at the Windcutter but it had a long tapered head that intergrated into a longer belly, which allows to cast into the wind and punch, but has a harder time with casting splitshot and indidcators, and does not support enough belly to handle cross body roll casts. I looked at the steelhead/atlantic salmon flylines and I found one that was perfect. The RIO Atlanitc salmon/steelhead flyline. A friend of mine is a guide and gave me a casting demonstration to show how slick the line was. It has a head that is 85ft. long, and it is really thick up in front to punch with ease.
I also like Airflo's quick descent sinking lines that are very thin and cut through the water easily. I use them for throwing speys in rivers and also to get down deep in the surf.
Let me know what lines you guys use and why you like them.
Here is a thought for you, most of us out here make our own sink-tip set-ups by cutting the factory line where the front taper ends andattaching a loop to loop system. On an Accellerator for example, this is 17' from the tip, here we attach the section of sinking line as the thick belly will turn it over. A good buddy of mine occasionally upstream nymphs (which is not too common here in BC), what he does is loop his leader directly to this main belly - it really works. What he usually fishes is a heavy brass tube fly and a 14' leader. The rod loads very easily as the heavy belly is right there and the short-line technique is easy to accomplish.
It sounds like this might very well be a solution for you. Plus, if and when you want to fish dries or surface presentations you simply loop the original floating front taper back on. As well, if you want sunken swings you can make up some shooting heads - you'll be ready for anything!
If you want a little detail I went into some in a recent thread on the Flyfishing Gear Review board. Or PM me if you want.

just a thought?
Isn't that the same thing as taking a floating line or running line and attaching a sinking tip/sinking shooting head?? You can loop to loop them too. I find that the "fatter" flyline doesn't shoot as well or cut through the water as well as a running line, so I usually have my running line and several heads.
Well, just wanted to hear opinions!
The "fatter" part of the line will be out of the rod tip, thereby loading the rod immediately and allowing you to make a variety of casts with a short line as well as easily shooting the rear taper. Having the belly attached to the nymphing leader would also allow you to turn over the long leader and nymph. I do not have any experience with the "Great Lakes style" of flyfishing with running lines and slinkies so I'm not sure what your needs may be, but if any actual flyline could turn over this kind of a set-up would have to be such as I've described. Otherwise, my suggestion would be a centerpin reel and dink floats:eyecrazy:
Tight lines - tyler.

Basically I have been using what Kush describes but with a much shorter leader and weighted nymphs. (No slinkies) I have a number of custom made sinking heads I made up with loop to loop connections and connect to a WF sinking tip. Thats what I am using now on the new spey rod which worked OK this past spring. Have to get those weighted tube flies in nymph patterns designed and implemented. Thats a bit to do on my steelhead fishing list.
I am always looking for new wet fly and nymph options such as the running line and shooting heads, and or the new sink tip spey lines becoming available. Dan does that Rio Atlantic/Salmon line come with multiple sink tips as there other lines ? I have heard a couple of other good things on the Rio Atlantic/Salmon line from others but never seen or touched one.
Thats the problem out here not many fly fishing shops carry a lot of spey tackle or focus on it since we are few. Nor do we have spey claves at which to see the different types of rods and lines etc. Looking at a line on the internet does not provide much information to make an informed decision.
Kush I have never seen a PNW center pin and dink reel used in the U.S. great lakes side. Canadian side of great lakes probably yes. And you will be glad to know that great lakes fly fishers like Dan, me and others are trying to convert those who are still doing Chuck N Duck slinky fly fishing methods, etc... I am seeing less of that technique and more indicator and sink tip techniques used for fishing steelhead and salmon with speys flies and nymphs.
Some day you will have to come out here and show me how to get strikes on 15 lb test leaders since I have failed with anything higher than 8 lb test over the last 20 years, except for summer runs which I think 12 lb test has been the highest I ever hooked them on.
Oh well, such is the "Sum of the Challenge" (R.H. Brown), thats what keeps me coming back for more chrome.
I am aware that there are some significant changes going on in parts of the Great Lakes fishery re swinging flies. Dana in his school back there was suitably impressed with what is happening (as well as being impressed with the fishery itself!).
The centre pin remark is probably a bit cheap. I float fished for many years before converting to the fly. It is a deadly technique and it transfers nicely to nymphing tecniques. We do little of the upsream nymphing out here as it doesn't cover much water and on the big waters I fish he who covers the most water catches the most fish. On the "tighter" waters that you guys are faced with I can see how it makes sense. As well, the larger numbers of fish concentrated in constricted areas would make running a nymph down a slot deadly.
As for info and flyshops I see how that would pose a problem. We went through that stuff when spey fishing first came back into prominence - nobody really knew anything. At least you guys can glean some stuff from out this way. I don't remember the name of the shop that Dana was working within Ontario, but they are right into developing the "traditional" steelhead techniques in the Great Lakes area, I'll find out and let you know.

Yes please do since the fly shops in Chicago barely know what a spey rod or line is. Your waters are much bigger than ours in general. There is nothing close to the size of the Thompson, Grande Rhonde, or Skagit in the mid west that has steelhead.
Michigan fly shots near the good rivers have spey tackle but it is long drive to them.
Muskegon, Big Manistee, are the largest and have good steelhead fly water. St Josephs is big in sections but not really great fly fishing water, only in certain limited areas. All others are smaller rivers but with very good steelhead fly fishing opportunities.
P.S. I used spinning tackle the 1st year I fished for steelhead in 1979 until I got the correct steelhead equipment and to figure out how to fish them. Previously I had been all trout, bass, light saltwater fly fishing back east. Since 1980 I have been all fly rod for steelhead. Actually I have not even caught a steelhead on spinning gear, salmon yes, but not steelhead.
Actually now that I think of it you should get in touch with Rick Whorwood, he seems to be spearheading the effort. I'm sure he could put you in touch with the right people/shops.

Spey Pages Spey School with Grindstone Angling
I did the school with Grindstone Angling out of Waterdown, Ontario: 905.689.0880. John Valk is the proprietor and head guide, and he and his staff and associates advocate traditional UK and PNW methods. John keeps a good stock of Spey stuff. Rick Whorwood is a good friend of mine and serious student of the two-hander with a keen interest in applying various "long rod" methods to Great Lakes steelhead waters (he also ties beautiful classic Spey and Dee flies and is internationally known for his expertise, but you probably knew that already). Josef Teschl is another good friend and an excellent Spey instructor who has invested a great deal of time studying traditional longline Spey methods. All of these people would be excellent contacts for anyone in the Great Lakes area interested in two-handed fly rods, casting, and the application of classic "swung fly" traditions to Great Lakes waters.

Yes I read about John Valk in the new Matt Supinski book "Steelhead Dreams", talked about his spey series of flies and has them in his color plates. They are on my to do list to tie.
If you want a nice overview of the great lakes steelhead fishery and history this is the best book I have seen to date. For $ 25 in paperback it is a great buy.

- John Stone of Hertford, England, born about 1571.
- Rev. Samuel Stone, baptized 30 July 1602 in the Church of All Saints, Hertford. He had at least three children with his first wife. He married second Elizabeth Allen of Boston in July 1641. They had two children. Samuel died 20 July 1663. He and his second wife Elizabeth were my ninth great-grandparents.
- Elizabeth Stone married first William Sedgwick, divorced him after years of neglect in 1674, and later married John Roberts. Elizabeth and William Sedgwick were my eighth great-grandparents.
Goodwin, Nathaniel. Genealogical Notes, Or Contributions to the Family History of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Hartford: F.A. Brown, 1856.
The book below pertains primarily to a different line of Stones, but I include it here as a heads-up and an aid to differentiating between the lines of two different Rev. Samuel Stones, the one in my lineage from Hertford, and the other from Hereford.
Stone, Truman Lewis and William Leete Stone. Book II of The Family of John Stone: One of the First Settlers of Guilford, Conn.: Also, Names of all the Descendents of Russell, Bille, Timothy and Eber Stone. Buffalo, N.Y.: Charles Wells Moulton, 1898.
Richard Cecil Stone wrote about other New England Stones, but mentions Rev. Samuel Stone briefly:
Samuel Stone came to Boston in 1633. He was educated at Cambridge, England, and probably originated in Hertford, about twenty miles from London. He remained a short time in the vicinity of Boston, but accompanied Hooker and the first settlers on the Connecticut River. They called their settlement Hartford, from Hertford, the name of the town from which Samuel Stone emigrated. He was associate Pastor with Hooker until his death, when he became sole minister of the Hartford Church, which he sustained many years, and was then gathered to his fathers in a good old age. Samuel Stone left four children,—one son and three daughters. His son, Samuel, was educated for the ministry; but, becoming intemperate, fell, before middle life, from the high river bank upon the rocks below, was killed, and the family became extinct.Stone, Richard Cecil. Genealogy of the Stone Family Originating in Rhode Island. Providence: Knowles, Anthony and Company, Printers, 1866.
As you can see, not all Stones in America spring from a common immigrant ancestor.
Other Before My Time posts about Rev. Samuel Stone of Hartford can be brought up using the "stone" label at the bottom of this post. There will certainly be more added in the future. Tomorrow, for example, will feature a little book by Rev. Stone.

On the home stretch
It's almost a month to the day since I posted my last travel update. Since then I've been to Paris, then to Calais and across the channel to Dover, along the south coast to Brighton and Portsmouth, up to London, stayed a week and a half, then north to York, brief visits to Durham and Newcastle, a few days in Edinburgh, then over to Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, and five days in Cornwall.
Tonight I was meant to have taken the ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff in Bretagne, then spent a week meandering back through France and across the Pyrenees to Spain and fly home from Madrid. Problem: ferry strikes mean that my ferry's not going anywhere. Rather than try and arrange my travel to figure that out, I decided I was a bit over high-energy travel and not all that enthused about figuring out a new route through France and Spain on short notice. So here I am back in London, staying at a friend's place again, for a week til I hop on an EasyJet flight to Madrid and then home.
I suspect I'll be taking it pretty easy in London, mostly just kicking around and working on Growstuff. I do want to make it to the one museum that was closed during the Olympics/Paralympics when I was last here, but that's about it. Okay, and maybe another visit to the V&A. Um. Well, let's just say that I don't have any particular plans, and don't intend to work too hard at it.
That said, if anyone wants to catch up for drinks/meals/pair programming this week, let me know.

Enough amount of breastmilk
Good day! I have been breastfeeding my baby for 7 months now. However, I am not sure if he's getting enough amount of milk from me. This is a concern for me because he has not gained his weight for two months now. How would I know if he's getting enough milk? Can you suggest any tip to increase my milk? Thanks!

Hi Venus,
The recommendation by the World Health Organisation and other healthcare professionals is to exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first six months (i.e. give them nothing but breast milk) and then to start to introduce solid food once they are six months old (and developmentally ready for this).
Can I ask if you have started to introduce solid food yet? Did you exclusively breastfeed for 6 months? Do you still breastfeed on demand (ie. whenever your baby wants milk - in the day and night)? Breast milk is produced on a supply and demand basis so you need to put your baby on the breast whenever they want milk in order for your body to keep producing enough milk.
You can always additionally express milk (with a breast pump) in order to increase your milk supply. Also, eating certain foods such as oats can increase milk supply.
We need to get to the bottom of why your baby is not putting on weight. Are you using baby led weaning or spoon fed weaning? With baby led weaning it is recommended that up to 12 months of age your baby is not hungry when they are offered food so you could offer him food around an hour after he has been breastfed. At 7 months of age your baby should be able to get over 95% of his nutrients from the breast milk as long as you are feeding on demand.
Do let me know the answers to these questions so we can help support you further.
Best wishes,

Hi Venus,
LJ has some very good information for you. If your child is eating a lot of food or water other than breastmilk he may not be getting enough fat. You could take him off of all food and just offer him the breast throughout the day for a couple of days to increase your milk supply. Also, if you are under a lot of stress, this can actually change the consistency and fat content of your milk, so be sure you are doing what you can to stay relaxed and happy.
Are you feeding your baby every 2 to 3 hours? If you go any longer than that, he may not be getting enough milk. Is your baby happy after a feed or does he act hungry, like he wants more?
Hoping to hear back from you so we can support you and help your son gain, if he needs to .
Warm Regards,

I am very grateful to read your answers, LJ and Kate!
We already started introducing solids to my son. I breastfed him exclusively for 6 months. I went back to work when my baby was only 2 months old, but I express the milk and keep them in the fridge so he won't run out of milk to drink when I am away. I also pump every 2 hours or when I feel that my breasts are beginning to be tender. I get exactly 4 ounces of milk whenever I pump.
I eat lots of food which were rumored to increase milk production, such as Moringa oleifera, shellfishes, leafy vegetables, oats and green papaya. I also take supplements daily.
I should consider taking a rest as well. It is something that I have been taking for granted. I didn't know that it could greatly affect my responsibility as a mother. I really appreciate your responses. Hope to hrea more from this great site!
17th September 2012 02:39 PM #5
Hi Venus,
Thanks for the follow-up information. Now that I know you are working a lot, only getting 4-5 hours of sleep a day, and only producing 4 ounces of milk each time you pump, I have some suggestions to make.
1. Be sure you are drinking PLENTY of pure water throughout the day. Breastmilk is 88% water, and it takes water to make milk. Often times mums are so busy that they don't realize the they are thirsty. This is when the body starts to become dehydrated. Did you know that you are actually mildly dehydrated when you realize your thirst? If you are drinking enough throughout the day, you will never get thirsty.
I would suggest that you drink at LEAST twice your body weight in ounces. If you are 100 lbs., that would be 50 oz. of water per day (minimum). I actually recommend this for women who are not breastfeeding, so you could most likely drink even more water while breastfeeding. Just remember that the first time you notice thirst you should definitely drink.
One way to get more water is to places glass jars of water anywhere you spend time. At your desk, on the kitchen counter, on the bathroom sink, next to the couch, next to your bed, etc. The more often you see the jars of water the more likely you will be to reach for it.
Also, you can measure out your water at the beginning of the day, and drink 4 ounces every half hour until it's gone (and, of course, if you get thirsty, drink more).
I believe that if you increase your water intake, you will also increase your milk production - but you'll also have to be sure that you're pumping often enough and putting baby to the breast often enough to stimulate milk production. When my baby was in the hospital, I pumped every 2 hours, and I had plenty of milk. Try to pump every 2 hours, even if your breasts don't feel tender. You want to increase that milk supply right now so your son can have more and can gain more weight.
When you are home with your son, put him to the breast often. Each time he fusses, offer him the breast. Offer him the breast at night (co-sleeping or "the family bed" can be very helpful in helping him get milk and helping you get enough sleep). Co-sleeping was truly a lifesaver for me, which allowed me to latch baby on and go right back to sleep.
It sounds like you are eating healthy. Be sure you're not eating sugary treats, and that you're getting enough deep leafy greens in your diet. Green smoothies can be great for this.
Here's a good thread that you may want to read on how to increase breastmilk.
Warm Regards,

It's been a week since I read your response here and I followed every single detail. Because I am around 150 lbs, I started drinking 4 oz. of water every half an hour, everyday (sometimes I exceed more than that). To keep me reminded of it, I put water in 5 different large mugs and placed them in different places where I usually stay. I pumped around every 2 hours, even while at work. I brought my nursing shawl with me whenever I go to the office. I have been co-sleeping since my son was born, so there was no trouble with that. Luckily, one of my Korean friends sent me tons of dried seaweed packs which were said to be helpful in increasing breast milk as well. Any improvement? I totally consider 6-7 oz as an achievement. I will continue doing this and will let you know about the updates. Thanks!
25th September 2012 12:52 AM #7
Wow - that really is an achievement. Well done on your dedication and commitment to breastfeeding and increasing your milk supply.
I've not heard of the benefit of seaweed before - thank you for sharing that tip! And what a good way to make sure you are drinking enough water!
Well done again,
Best wishes,

Hi Venus,
Thanks for the update! You have done very well to increase your milk supply so much. Excellent work (and it IS work, I know). Your baby should be happier now with more milk in his tummy, and should also be gaining now.
Seaweed is full of iodine which can benefit Adrenal function and Thyroid function. This should also help in giving you more energy, if your thyroid function was sluggish (which is common after giving birth).
Thyroid function is critical in creating breast milk, and because many mothers have sluggish thyroid function after giving birth, it can be a reason why the body creates only a small amount of breast milk. Seaweed will feed the thyroid the iodine it needs and will support thyroid function.
Seaweed is a wonderful natural source of iodine and can be very beneficial to mothers after giving birth. Here's a good article that explains more about the connection between thyroid function, depression and low breastmilk production.
Warm Regards,

Hi all,
I am trying to devise a way to carry 4 dogs in a capped pickup truck. Full size 3/4 ton truck with an 8 foot bed. This is mainly for my next trip to N. Dakota this coming fall. I have 3 and my buddy has 1 dog.
his dog and one of mine are littermates, and will be about 15 months old for the trip. After last years trip the conditions can be tough for a young dog so we plan for each day there will be one young and one experienced dog. It looks like I will need to fabricate a kennel. I would like the kennels to stack 2 over 2. On the trip out I will have the kennel back near the tail gate and the rest of the bed packed with the various stuff we need to take. We will also be towing a small trailer with more stuff and a couple of canoes.
Once we are there and hunting I would push the kennel to the front of the truck so we can put the hunting stuff in the rest of the bed and still take all 4 dogs out. So those that do not hunt can still get some exercise while we are scouting for the next day.
I currently use 2 large size Vari-kennels, and they seem really tall for the dog. Dogs are pretty compact at 60 pounds. The space I have inside the cap is a max of 40.5 inches high, kennels can be 22-23 inches wide each and 30-34 inches deep. The key measurement is the height. With only 40.5 inches available that leaves a max of 19 inches high inside the kennels. Leaving room for the floor, middle level and the top.
I am concerned that may be to low, they are smaller dogs. It would be about the same size as a MEDIUM RTK kennel.
Would appreciate some thoughts before beginning to draw them up. What are the dimensions inside a pros box that is a chassis build? I cannot find dimensions on the various websites.

Saw a good portion of The Last Samurai again in between trying to calm a (likely) teething baby. That movie never gets old.
Tom Cruise is one of those guys that you absolutely hate offscreen, but when he's acting, you've got to admit he's pretty damned good at it.
And Ken Watanabe could portray a glass of milk and it would be Oscar-worthy.
Throw in samurai (and even some ninjas! Wooooooo!!) and a tragic, Braveheart-esque story, and this is a classic.
That's my jacket!
It wasn't until I saw The Last Samurai and Colateral that I actually thought Tom Cruise was a good actor. Then he went all looney tunes.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
It's not that it was a particularly bad movie it's just that you could literally figure out the entire damn thing within minutes. They really didn't try and keep you in suspense.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
watched Sky High last night on HBO. thought the movie was cute and funny, plus Kelly Preston in tights, can't beat it. the plot was decent as far as Superhero movies go.
the storylinewas good, a kid born of two Superhero parents who doesn't know what his superhero power is, goes to Sky High, the school for SuperHero's in training and gets cast as a sidekick, much to the dislike of his father (Kurt Russell). after seeing his friends in danger, the young superhero releases his powers are superstrenght like his father, and later in the movie discovers that he also has the ability of flight like his mother.
if you want a good / cute movie to laugh at rent this one or catch it on cable. also has some cute superheroines and villians. Mary Elizabeth Winstead (from Black Christmas) plays the villian, pain in the neck. also has Linda Carter as the principal in the flick, would have loved to see her in the Wonder Woman costume, but she does use a line towards the end of the flick, she says something like, "you know, I'm not Wonder Woman."
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I thought it was a decent movie.

Some Chevrolet Dealerships Have Volt Revolt After Price Increase

Dealerships don't want to spend more on tools needed to service the Volts since sales for most are down
Select Chevrolet dealerships around the U.S. are ditching
the Volt
after General Motors (GM) hiked up the price of tools to service the vehicle.
Last year, dealerships spent $1,800 to $2,800 on tools that are required to service each Volt plug-in hybrid. However, GM has raised the price of these tools to $5,100. The reason? A battery-repowering tool that removes and ships sections of the Volt's huge 435-pound battery for repair instead of shipping the whole thing costs dealerships about $4,735. This makes up the bulk of the tool costs while a few others are needed as well.
Due to this price hike, some dealerships have decided to stop selling the Volt altogether. Some say their overall Volt sales just don't justify the additional cost.
Allyn Barnard, owner of Jim Barnard Chevrolet in Churchville, New York, is among those who feel that way. He has only sold five Volts since the vehicle's launch in late 2010/early 2011, and doesn't see the point in paying over $5,000 for the tools needed to service them.
"Going forward, the profitability would be really hard for us to justify the expense of the repair tools," said Barnard.
The Volt may have had a bumpy start with a few
production shutdowns
and issues with lithium ion battery fires during National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) testing, but
sales of the Volt have been very impressive
over the last year. During the first seven months of 2012, GM sold 10,666 Volt extended range electric vehicles for an increase of 270% compared to the first seven months of 2011.
However, Chevrolet then had a low November sales month due to low inventory. Chevrolet sold 1,519 Volts in November 2012, which represented a 33 percent increase over November 2011. But the number of cars sold in November was roughly half the number sold in October and September when the company sold 2,961 and 2,851 Volts respectively.
Chevrolet said this is a good thing, though, because it means
demand is higher than expected
As of December 2012, General Motors had sold 20,828 Volts for the year.
Despite these excellent numbers (Nissan was hoping to sell 20,000 Leafs in 2012, but fell way short), about 70 percent of Volt sales are generated by the 300 top-selling dealerships. There are about 2,614 dealerships certified to sell the Volt.

4.34: Buoyancy
What could be more refreshing than floating in cool water on a hot summer day? Water and other fluids have a special force that allows people and things to float in them. The force is called buoyant force.
What Is Buoyant Force?
Buoyant force is an upward force that fluids exerts on any object that is placed in them. The ability of fluids to exert this force is called buoyancy. What explains buoyant force? A fluid exerts pressure in all directions, but the pressure is greater at greater depth. Therefore, the fluid below an object, where the fluid is deeper, exerts greater pressure on the object than the fluid above it. You can see in the Figure below how this works. Buoyant force explains why the girl pictured above can float in water.
Q: You've probably noticed that some things don't float in water. For example, if you drop a stone in water, it will sink to the bottom rather than floating. If buoyant force applies to all objects in fluids, why do some objects sink instead of float?
A: The answer has to do with their weight.
Weight and Buoyant Force
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object, whereas buoyant force pushes up on an object. Which force is greater determines whether an object sinks or floats. Look at the Figure below. On the left, the object's weight is less than the buoyant force acting on it, so the object floats. On the right, the object's weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, so the object sinks.
Because of buoyant force, objects seem lighter in water. You may have noticed this when you went swimming and could easily pick up a friend or sibling under the water. Some of the person's weight was countered by the buoyant force of the water.
Density and Buoyant Force
Density, or the amount of mass in a given volume, is also related to the ability of an object to float. That's because density affects weight. A given volume of a denser substance is heavier than the same volume of a less dense substance. For example, ice is less dense than liquid water. This explains why the giant ice berg in the Figure below is floating in the ocean. You can see other examples of density and buoyant force at this URL:
Q: Can you think of more examples of substances that float in a fluid because they are low in density?
A: Oil is less dense than water, so oil from a spill floats on ocean water. Helium is less dense than air, so balloons filled with helium float in air.
- Buoyant force is an upward force that fluids exert on any object that is placed in them. Buoyant force occurs because the fluid below an object exerts greater pressure on the object than the fluid above it.
- If an object's weight is less than the buoyant force acting on it, then the object floats. If an object's weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, then the object sinks.
- A given volume of a denser substance is heavier than the same volume of a less dense substance. Therefore, density of an object also affects whether it sinks or floats.
- buoyant force: Upward force exerted by a fluid on any object placed in it.
- buoyancy: Ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on any object placed in the fluid.
At the following URL, read the short article about submarines and do the animation of a submarine submerging and surfacing. Then answer the questions below.
- What can a submarine do that a ship cannot?
- How does a submarine control its buoyancy?
- What is buoyant force?
- Why does buoyant force occur?
- Why is a heavier object more likely than a lighter object to sink instead of float in water?
- Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if you placed the ice cube and rock in a glass of water. Explain your prediction.

...but the house members are going after what most voters are wanting to happen, and why they were voted in. More power to them. If nothing else, they are holding the Democrats feet to the fire, while showing their conservative constituants they are doing the business they were elected to do.

House Votes to Dethrone Obamas Czars
Friday, 18 Feb 2011 01:37 PM
By David A. Patten
The architect of a daring GOP attempt to strip congressional funding for nine executive branch czars says its only the first salvo in a much larger battle to reverse radical policies promulgated by the Obama administration.
Under President Obama, weve seen a proliferation of czars, Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., told Newsmax the day after the House passed his amendment to block spending any federal funds on nine czars, or special presidential advisers.
These czars are implementing radical policies, Scalise told Newsmax in the exclusive interview Friday. They circumvented the accountability and scrutiny that goes with Senate confirmation, and thats called for in the Constitution.
ScaliseSo if the president really wants to get into this debate, why doesnt he just bring these czars in front of Senate confirmation and have them go through the normal process, if theyre going to be implementing that kind of cabinet-level power? he said.
The czars special appointees who in many cases answer directly to President Barack Obama and the White House chief of staff have been a source of controversy since the early months of the administration.
Republicans complain that they violate President Obamas campaign pledge for transparency, and the budgets and activities of the presidents special advisers remain shrouded in mystery.
Scalise told Newsmax that Congress even has had difficulty determining the number of czars in the administration and their budgets, blaming a veil and the secrecy thats been involved in their creation for the lack of information.
Scalises amendment to the continuing resolution funding government operations simply identifies the nine czars and orders that no money in the continuing resolution would go to pay for them or their staffs.
In part, the number of czars depends on how they are defined. In a December 2009 expose, Newsmax magazine identified 36 special advisers in the administration. Many previous presidents have used czars, but both their number and authority appears greater under Obama.
According to Scalise, the amendment that passed Thursday is intended to address those czars that Republicans believe to be promoting the most aggressive, dangerous policies. But the GOP House will pull the plug on more czars in the future, he said, adding this by far is not the end.
These are people who are literally running millions of jobs out of our country, and theyre being paid by the taxpayers, Scalise said. So we felt we wanted to take the most egregious, and the ones we were able to sack under the confines of a continuing resolution.
The czars whose funding would be eliminated under the amendment include the health-reform czar, climate-change envoy czar, the green jobs czar, Guantanamo Bay closure czar, the TARP oversight czar, and the auto manufacturing czar, and the FCC diversity czar.
The amendment also proposes eliminating two czar slots that are unfilled: the urban-affairs czar and the energy and climate-change czar.
By far the most controversial official who would be out of a job is Mark Lloyd, the FCC diversity czar.
Lloyd cites author and radical organizer Saul Alinsky as a source of inspiration, and has praised Venezuela President Hugo Chavez for his incredible attainment of a democratic revolution. He favors re-implementation of the Fairness Doctrine through what is known as local-content restrictions, and has called Thomas Jeffersons maxim That government is best which governs least an outdated canard.
Indeed, some Democrats are suggesting that Lloyd is the real target of the anti-czar amendment.
Why saw this guys head off? Because some talk show host says so? Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., said, according to HumanEvents.com. I think this is poorly devised and poorly thought out.
The amendment to yank the czar funding had surprisingly strong bipartisan support, winning the votes of 13 Democrats. Only one Republican, freshman Rep. Reid Ribble of Wisconsin, voted against it.
This is the first round, said Scalise, who knows his amendment faces a tough battle in the Democratic-controlled Senate. I think we sent a strong message last night. The fact that it was such an overwhelming, bipartisan vote tells not only the president, but the Senate, that were serious about this.
Were very serious about accountability, he added. Frankly, the president promised transparency when he was running as a candidate, and he hasnt fulfilled that pledge especially as it relates to the proliferation of these czars.
Scalise is calling on voters to step up let their representatives know how they feel about what he warns is effectively a shadow government.
There are a lot of senators coming up for re-election in a year and a half, and theyre going to have to answer to their constituents, he told Newsmax. I would hope the American people stay engaged too and continue to send the message that this isnt the way to run government, especially for the radical czars who are trying to make policies that should be reserved for cabinet secretaries who have gone through the Senate confirmation process.

Chapter 3: Single Variable Equations and Inequalities
Here you will focus on solving equations and inequalities. You will start with basic equations that can be solved in one step and then move to more complicated equations that will require combining like terms and the distributive property. You will also learn how to solve equations with variables on both sides and multi-step equations that might have rational numbers in them. Finally, you will learn about inequalities and how solving inequalities is similar to solving equations. You will also learn how to represent your solution to an inequality graphically.

Chapter Summary
You started by learning how to solve basic equations that required subtraction or addition and then multiplication or division to solve. These were examples of basic two-step equations. Next, you learned how to solve more complicated equations by first simplifying each side of the equation as much as possible. To simplify, you used the distributive property and combined like terms. You learned that if decimals or fractions were in the equations, you could still solve just as if these rational numbers were a whole number. Finally, you learned how to solve equations with variables on both sides by first getting all of the variables together on the same side of the equation. The big idea to remember when solving equations was: If you perform an operation to one side of an equation, you must also perform that same operation to the other side of the equation.
After equations you transitioned to inequalities. Inequalities are like equations except instead of an equals sign, they have an inequality symbol. While the solution to an equation is one number, the solution to an inequality is a range of numbers. Solutions to inequalities can be represented graphically on a number line. You learned that the process for solving inequalities is similar to the process for solving equations. You can perform all of the same steps except you must remember that Whenever you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip your inequality symbol in order to make sure the inequality stays true.

By The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky running back CoShik Williams is out for the season with a hip injury.
An MRI revealed a torn labrum that will require surgery for the fifth-year senior, who has missed three of the past four games. Williams had a team-high 62 yards on 10 attempts against Louisville.
Wildcats coach Joker Phillips said Wednesday that he feels" heartbroken for him because the guy has worked so hard." The coach says everybody knows Williams' story, coming "here as a non-scholarship guy and worked his tail off to be a starter and is now out for the rest of the season."
Juniors Jonathan George and Raymond Sanders, and freshman Dyshawn Mobley will share carries for Kentucky (1-4, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) in Saturday's game against No. 20 Mississippi State (4-0, 1-0).

text: How much $$$ do you plan to spend at Celebration II? With paying for autographs, the concert, and seeing something you might never see again adds up to some serious $$ (all 30 guests just one time around=$360). I ended up saving $2,000,but I bought a life size Yoda on EBay and had to pay some bills(work has been slow the last 2 1/2 weeks), which nocked me down to $1,500. I'll probly spend $500 on April 23, so it looks like I'll be going with just $1,000.

The Open started with a triple in sagebrush with two retired. The long bird in the middle went down first thrown left to right from a large patch of sage toward the outside edge. Lots of wide open territory to the right of the fall. Second down was the short retired on the left thrown left to right across a ravine into the edge of a patch of sage on the right-hand slope. The flyer was short and on the right shot uphill right to left. There were lots of hills and gullies and patches of sage on the route to each bird. The wind was blowing quite strongly from behind the line and angled slightly from left to right across the test. Some dogs did very well; others had big hunts for one or more of the birds. There were a few handles and pickups. It appeared the judges called all dogs back that got the birds without help. There were 29 dogs called back of the 40 to start (2 scratches).
The second series was a double land blind with the short blind going under the arc of the left hand mark but from the opposite direction. The line to the short blind went almost directly at the flyer crates with two blind planters sitting there in white. The line to the longer blind went to the right of the short blind just past the flyer crates on the left and through a slot in the sage. In general, the short blind proved to be more difficult than the long blind.
Callbacks to the 3rd series tomorrow morning at 8:00 (21 dogs):
1, 3, 9, 11,13,15,16,19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42

Brain Battle?
Not Really
So, how would you like a railroad spike through the brain? Do you think an injury like that would kill someone? Not necessarily, as the case of Phineas Gage showed ( The Incredible Case of Phineas Gage). Rare incidents like the one with Phineas Gage were all researchers once had to go on to figure out the workings of the human brain, and they led to some interesting theories. However, with advancing technology, researchers have gone from studying brain trauma to taking pictures of live brains to actually watching brains as they work ( What is fMRI?)! As you might imagine, this is leading to a much greater understanding of what's going on in our noggins.

No Duh's and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Can most people's brains learn and remember at the same time? What does the brain do to handle these tasks? Does this seem right to you or do you feel your brain is different?
- Do you think your brain has one switchboard to manage multiple tasks or multiple switchboards? Why do you favor one choice over the other? What sorts of information would you need to gather to test your hypothesis?
- How does the discovery of switchboards in the brain compare to older theories of certain tasks being isolated to certain areas of the brain? Do you think these models are compatible? Why or why not?

Predator Help (loading custom tune)
Ford PC Interface
In order to do a custom tune, you will need you to acquire a few things
1) Your vehicle's model, year and if possible box code or calid. Please write this down and double check to make sure it is accurate. You will be using this to name a file with.
2) Serial Cable:
Standard straight-through DB9 (9-pin to 9-pin) RS232C serial cable (6 foot cable is more than enough). Check your computer to see if you have a male or a female port on the back, as some are different. You will need a male end to go into your Predator.
3) Power Adapter:
OUTPUT : 12VDC 1000mA (1 Amp)
Center is positive and outside is negative
Radio Shack normally carries both of these items. Most Wal-Marts have the Power Adapter (multi output version).
Note: If you have a laptop, you can use the vehicle's power to power up the Predator, instead of using a Power Adapter, and just do the following with your laptop and Predator inside of your vehicle.
Install this file to the default directory of its choice.
1: On the Predator, go to "Performance Tune", choose the Tune that you wish to use (Performance or Pulley, depending on your level of modifications), then go to "Modify Tune, Reset All Parameters", now once this completes, hit "Esc" and go to "Install Tune" and let it upload the tune again. This will upload the defaulted Predator tune's performance settings onto your pcm (meaning no modifications made to the fans, shift points, fuel, timing, etc.). Do NOT send me any file with changes made to your fuel or timing. This is VERY important!!!
2: After this is done, go to "Troubleshooting", then "Read Extra Tune", follow prompts and complete this process. This process will read the current tune in the vehicle and temporarily save it so it can be transferred to your PC. This normally takes approx. 2 min. or less. You MUST complete this step, otherwise any file that you send to me will NOT be readable.
3: Once you complete this, open the Predator PC Interface (Xmodem), go to "Options, Port Settings", and ensure that the proper COM port is selected, as well as the proper baud rate on both the software (default on the software is 115200), and also on the Predator (default on the Predator is 57600). You can change the Predator's baud rate by going to "Options, Serial Baud". Please try 57600 on both, first. You will also need this setting to be selected in your Device Manager in Windows for your COM port, so please check to make sure this setting also matches the other two.
4: Hook your Predator up to your PC via the Serial Cable and power the Predator on via the power adapter.
5: On the Predator go to "Options" then "Custom Tune", then select "Export Custom Tune". Select "Extra Tune" and it will start counting up to 100%. On the next prompt do NOT hit "Continue", yet.
6: Then in your Predator PC Interface (Xmodem) software on your PC, click "Get File", enter a file name. PLEASE enter your model/year/boxcode or cali for the file name with either "perf" or "pulley" on the end of it, depending on which file you are sending to me (ex: 03cobraYDH1pulley.frg ) This is VERY important!!!
7: Continuing, once you name the file, click on "OK", and a warning prompt will appear that states, "Connect the Predator and start the Xmodem transfer before pressing OK". Do NOT hit "OK" yet. On your Predator hit "Continue" (Enter), and THEN on your computer hit "OK". This will start transferring the file.
Note: If using 57600 does not work, please change all 3 to 115200 and try all the steps above, again. If by any means you restart the Predator PC Interface Program (Xmodem), and you originally changed and successfully used the baud setting at 57600, you will need to go back and change to that baud rate again, as the Predator PC Interface (Xmodem) program defaults to 115200 each time. Also, the Predator tool itself defaults to a 57600 baud rating, so if you power down the Predator and then power it back up, you will need to change it to 115200 only if you find that you need to use that baud rate setting.
We will build your new tune from this file, and then I will email it back to you and you will download it into the Predator the same way (instructions are below). Please list me all your mods line item style (a new line break after each mod), from the intake to the exhaust. Also, please note what all changes you want done and any issues that you are having now.
To reinstall the new file that you're sent as a "Custom Tune", do the following:
1: On the Predator go to "Options" then "Custom Tune", then select "Import Custom Tune". On the next prompt do NOT hit "Continue", yet.
2: Then in your Predator PC Interface (Xmodem) software on your PC, click "Send File", select the file that you saved that you wish to use, and click on "Open". A "File Transfer Status" dialog box will open up.
3: On your Predator hit "Continue" (Enter). This will start transferring the file.
Note: Remember, if you get time outs or if you aren't getting any communication, to please check your baud settings as you previous did when transferring the file from the Predator to the PC.
4: Install this tune into the pcm as your normally would.
Note: To erase any custom tune out of the Predator and go back to the previous included tuning that came with the Predator default, go to "Options, Custom Tune, Erase Custom Tune".
Thats all great Tom but how in the world can I use any of that if the real problems arent defined in the simple walk through.
Any time I try to stream data I get small window that says "Select PID's in tree view". Well there is only one on there and it wont let me click on it. When I click on the PID icon it comes up and says communicating and will stay that way for days.
I have changed the com prot and baud rate a million times and nothing has changed.
What am I doing wrong?
No idea , Im not good on getting the PC to work with the Predator as to walk you through and fine what isnt set correctly with your PC, There are to many diff systems ,98 , se , xp , and on and on
Did you call Diablo sport for help
As you can tell I am not good with figuring it out either. I get mad too easy. LOL!
I will call Diablo first thing next week and see what they have to say.
Should using a 9 pin to printer/modem port serial cable be a problem? It should just change what com port I need to use.
I sent you an email with a few different questions that I wont post on here. If you can will you reply to that email.
Thanks for being patient with me Tom,
Hmmm looked didnt get it shoot it to me again
email sent.
Also here is what Sidney sent me to help. Hopefully this can help someone else out later down the road.
This may take a min so you might want to print this or take notes. Right click on my computer then click on properties, then go to hardware, then device manager, then click the plus sign next to ports, then right click on comunications port (it should also say what com port it is assigned to), then click on properties. Once all this is pulled up just lets start with a clean slate, make sure on device status it says "This device is working proplerly", then click on port settings, mine reads as follows and since mine works with the predator ok just match them up:
Bits per second: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Then below this click on advanced, then make sure "use fifo buffers" check box is empty (not selected). Then change the com port number to com 2 or one from the drop down menu that is not used (it will say "in use" if that com port is not available.
Next click on Driver and make sure it says Microsoft and then click update driver just to make sure you have the newest one.
Skip the Details tab
then click on Resources and at the bottom make sure it says "No Confilicts".
After all this your com port should be working and all set up. Power up your Predator (hook it up in the car) and hook up the serial cable to it and your laptop (make sure they both have a good conection. Then with the predator booted up to the screen that says "Custom Tune" "Diagnostics" and "Options" click on "Options", then scroll down to "Serial Baud" and since we set your laptop to "115200" we set the Predator to "115200" after this press "ESC" on the predator and keep doing so untill you are at the main menu (Custom Tune" "Diagnostics" and "Options" screen) then while at the main menu open the "CMR DAT" program on your laptop. Click on Options, then Port settings, and match it up with what ever was selected on laptop ( I sugested com 2), the on the same screen select "Baud 115K" and click "OK". after this go to streaming and click on "Start" after this I am not too sure what to do since I don't have it hooked up to my computer or my car but if you get this far and have a conection you can play around with it and figure out the stuff. The only thing you have to remember is you can only monitor six settings in the live stream mode, other than that every thing is great. When you are done click on the red box (stop) and it will stop the data stream and ask you at some point if you would like to save the data log. Click yes and note the spot it is saved and there you go.
Did this work for you?
nope. It keeps saying "select PID's in tree mode". There is only one icon in that area and nothing happens when I click on it.
i asume this is only for svt right ?
Any luck yet, svtfocus2k4?
I consider myself "semi-computer-literate", but it sure would be nicer if this were a more simple process.
Be sure to let us know how it works out for you......
I'm relatively certain this is SVTF specific, as these instructions are for the Diablo "flash tuner".
I don't think you need to worry about this with a "chip tuner".

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:54 PM GMT en Agosto 05, 2011
Tropical Storm Emily degraded into an open tropical wave yesterday afternoon, after Hurricane Hunters could no longer locate a center of circulation at the surface. Through the morning yesterday, the storm appeared to lose most of its strong thunderstorm activity on the north side, and mid-level circulation was broad (tropical cyclones need a tight, coherent circulation to maintain themselves). Soon after the Hurricane Hunters took a pass through the storm, the National Hurricane Center demoted Emily from a tropical storm to a remnant low, while continuing to stress the rainfall threat to Hispaniola and eastern Cuba. Today it appears the center of the remnants are located just north of eastern Cuba in the southern Bahamas, although thunderstorm activity continues across eastern Cuba. Hispaniola probably saw rain and thunderstorms again early this morning, the strongest of which were on the eastern side of the island. New thunderstorm activity is starting to develop in the southeast Bahamas. Given Wednesday's rain gauge analysis from CPC, Hispaniola probably saw at least an additional 5 inches of rain yesterday.
Environmental conditions remain pretty much the same as yesterday, but are expected to become more favorable for Emily's remnants, and redevelopment of the storm is possible. Circulation from the low to mid-levels is still broad and tilting to the east with height due to the lingering moderate westerly wind shear. However, this shear is expected to dissipate some over the next 24 hours, and signs of this are already present to the west of the remnants. The dry air that has been following the storm since its inception has dissipated, as well.
Figure 1. Satellite imagery of the remnants of Tropical Storm Emily as they move northwest away from Cuba and Hispaniola and into the Bahamas.
Forecast for Emily's Remnants
Interestingly, the models have come into better agreement on the forecast for former Emily now that it has lost its surface circulation and degenerated into a tropical wave. The ECMWF, which has come out ahead in this forecasting game so far, is optimistic today that Emily will redevelop. Other global models—GFS, CMC, and FIM—also redevelop the storm. Consensus on timing of redevelopment seems to be when the wave reaches the northern Bahamas in 24 to 48 hours. At 12Z (8am EDT), the high-resolution HWRF model run forecasted a track that was furthest to the west of all the models, scraping eastern Florida as it travels northwest. The most probable track and intensity forecast that I see at this point is north-northwest movement over the next 24 to 36 hours, at which point the system will take a fairly sharp turn to the northeast and out to sea. Without an already established, coherent circulation, it appears unlikely that if Emily is reborn it will intensify into anything more than a moderate tropical storm. However, there is some potential as the system moves out to see that it could gain some strength and develop hurricane-force winds before it transitions into an extra-tropical cyclone.
Typhoon Muifa passes to the south of Okinawa, heads into East China Sea
The center of Typhoon Muifa passed to the south of Okinawa earlier this morning (Eastern time) and it continues to batter the islands with high winds and torrential rain. Local radar estimate rainfall rates as high as 80 mm/hour (approx. 3 inches/hour) in the strongest rain bands. Kadena Air Force Base near the city of Okinawa has been reporting sustained winds of 47 mph with gusts up to 72 mph. Muifa is expected to turn northwest today as it enters the East China Sea as a category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, and then intensify into a category 2 as it passes close to eastern China. This morning, the forecast is that Muifa will probably not make landfall anywhere as a typhoon.
Figure 2. Radar imagery from the Japan Meteorological Agency around 1am JST. Scale is in millimeters. Highest rainfall rates appear to be approximately 3 inches/hour.
South-Central U.S. continues to bake
The extreme heat continues again today after 269 high maximum and 250 high minimum temperature records were set yesterday, 19 and 29 of which were all-time records, respectively. 206 of yesterday's records were 110°F or higher. Yesterday, Reuters was reporting that Texas was one power plant shutdown away from rolling blackouts. The forecast today doesn't look any better. Heat index values up to 125° are forecast in eastern Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Particularly toasty heat index values from yesterday:
• Mobile, Alabama: 120°
• Arkadelphia, Arkansas: 121°
• Bay St. Louis, Mississippi: 121°
• Memphis, Tennessee: 122°

This may be a big roadblock to her confirmation!
It might be, Bob...and WOULD be for any real "America First" thinking politician. But face it, we are in extremely short supply of any of those type folks in our Senate and Congress....especially when it comes to the batch of braying sheep that support this inept leadership.
Two wrongs don't make a right!
I'm happy for the firefighters. They earned their promotions.
Unfortunately, there won't be anybody who can overturn any of her leftist decisions once she's been added to the supremes.
Souter was a disaster we can blame on the first Bush and in a way we can also blame H.W. for this babe who's replacing Souter.
And then you get the occaisional Robert Bork, or Clarence Thomas nomination where it becomes a political witch hunt
An interesting take on things as always.
Hmmmm, you all do know that Justice Alito had numerous decisions reversed by the Supreme Court and that Justice Roberts was reversed on the Hamdan case, right?
These facts certainly did not prevent them from getting or staying on the court. Hmmmm.
But Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said "it would be wrong" to use the decision to criticize Sotomayor and that her panel's decision exhibited "judicial restraint."
He said the Supreme Court's ruling is "likely to result in cutbacks on important protections for American families."
"This is a cramped decision that threatens to erode these protections and to harm the efforts of state and local governments that want to build the most qualified workforces," Leahy said in a statement.
Does Leahy even know what this case is about. Important protections for american families? How is giving a leg up to someone not as qualified for the job as another person protection for the american family. The most qualified workforce past the test. Sorry the black firefighters weren't as qualified but that is not the problem of the firefighters that were qualified and past the test.
affirmative action bull**** regards.

Wow, it was a long time ago. When Bubba was a pup, John would stop here to run a few tests. I remember one day when he had been to Des Moines for something and stopped to run a real technical single (or blind - aren't they the same for FT training?). It was the third place he trained that day. Bubba smashed it.
Bubba won a derby and open before he was 2. I attended his second birthday party for a while, but had a litter of pups whelping, so didn't stay long.
John has since build a wonderful training place of his own. Makes my little back yard seem like a postage stamp.
John is a good trainer. I usually don't understand what he tells me, but he gets results. Bubba and he were a team. Match made in heaven.
There's still semen if you want a Bubba pup.

I own a female out of one of the last breedings of Bubba and she is very nice. She is anything I have ever wanted in a dog. She will train all day 7 days a week is intelligent can take pressure but does not need it, has a big motor, calm in the house, handles like a dream, and best of all lights out marker!! Her only limitation is her trainer , Her pups from her one litter seem to have the goods as well.
I would take another Bubba pup in a heartbeat!

Redstars Hayseed Bo ..... "Butch"
I own a Bubba grandson out of Drake. My Hatch is a good marking dog, was slow to mature mentally but has really come on in the last 6 mos. Responds better to low pressure and consistent insistance to doing things right through attrition when appropriate rather than heavy collar pressure. Hatch is a large, athletic dog with nice style & big water entry. And he was 3rd in the SW GA Am last weekend along with an open JAM. Hatch is a fox red.

A series of sexually explicit videos involving a young celebrity doctor in the Philippines has taken the predominantly Catholic country by storm. The women featured in the sex tapes of them having sex with Doctor Hayden Kho were not ordinary women — they were celebrities, models and even the country's best known cosmetic surgeon. Hayden Kho, Jr. is a Filipino former celebrity doctor, actor and model. He is the the boytoy of Dr. Vicky Belo, the Philippines' most famous cosmetic surgeon and owner of the Belo Medical Group Company.
Hayden Kho is a 6′ 2" Chinese-Filipino doctor and fashion model. He taped his sexual trysts with the women allegedly in secret. Among the women seen in the scandalous videos were actress Katrina Halili, model Maricar Reyes (his former classmate in med school) and an unnamed Brazilian model. The sex videos featuring Hayden Kho fucking Katrina Halili were the most talked about, with TV stations showing a very sorry Katrina Halili admitting the tapes and pleading for understanding. And the scandal-hungry public is now awaiting the release of reportedly more hidden camera videos involding Hayden Kho and more women, including actress Ruffa Mae Quinto and possibly even his mentor and lover — Dr. Vicky Belo.

It's finally gameday boys. I am cautiously optimistic against this team. They have a young inexperienced qb, who came out hot and has cooled a bit the past game. I think we need to keep the scrambling to a minimum. As usual front seven are going to have to play career games for this to be a close one, as our offense seems incapable of putting points on the board. I'm not scared of frank gore, we have been damn good against the run this year, I'm afraid of broken down plays that turn into significant gains.
seems to me we have struggled mightily when we shut a play down and the opposing team improvises. we seem to give up a lot of third and longs in those situations and that **** has to stop.
I don't like at all the traveling clear across the country bit, but we did so against the cardinals and nearly won... why not today.. we are 2-1 against this division... lets make it 3-1... I have a lot of niner fans where i live, I want to shut them the hell up!!! GO PHINS!!
damn... i even looked the whole first main page over... mods please delete...
I hate the traveling across the country, but we did it in arizona and nearly pulled off a win... we have beaten two teams in this division already. kapernick has cooled off and is more dangerous running than passing... we need to limit his scrambles...
I think we can win. of course I always think we can win, if we execute, and lately execution on offense has been a problem. HOpe we can pull it off, I have some really cocky san fran friends I'd like to banter with.
Stuff gore, don't let capernick scramble for 1st downs, limit v. davis = victory
