What are component car speakers?
And why do they sound so much better?
Alexander Hrabe is a member of Crutchfield's car audio A/V writing team. It was only a matter of time. He's been writing professionally for a decade, and his first car stereo was purchased from Crutchfield. Worlds have officially collided.

At Crutchfield, we've never settled for ho-hum car sound — and speakers firing at your knees leave a lot to be desired. However, component speaker systems (also called "separates") allow you to lift your music to your dash by separating the woofers and the tweeters. Components deliver realistic sound with outstanding imaging in the car, making them the choice of serious audio enthusiasts. Now, let's take a look at what makes up these superiour speaker systems and why installing them in your vehicle is worth the extra effort.
Why do you want separate woofers and tweeters?
Normal coaxial speakers, whether factory-installed or aftermarket, combining the woofer and tweeter into one speaker. It's a convenient way to get great sound from a single speaker opening, but the design of the woofer and tweeter are both compromised in this arrangement. Also, a tweeter mounted on top of the woofer cone will always, to some degree, interfere with the sound waves produced by the woofer.
The tweeters in a component system are separated from the woofers and elevated
In a component speaker system, the woofers and tweeters are mounted independently — each component can operate to its full potential, eliminating the problem of the tweeter impeding woofer performance. More importantly, independent tweeters can be positioned for optimum imaging and soundstaging, which results in better sounding music.
So, what exactly will you be installing in your car?
When you buy an aftermarket component system, you can generally count on finding these four elements when you open the box:
- Woofers — these drivers handle the midrange frequencies where acoustic guitar, piano, and most instrumentation lives. Woofers are typically mounted in factory door locations.
- Tweeters — these drivers handle the sparkling detail of high notes from female vocals, woodwinds, and snare drums, to name a few. Tweeters need to be custom-mounted if no factory location exists.
- Crossover systems — these small boxes ensure that the high frequencies are cleanly diverted to the tweeters and lows to the woofers. The woofer and tweeter don't waste energy by trying to reproduce frequencies they're not intended to reproduce. As a result, you'll enjoy cleaner, more efficient sound reproduction.
- Mounting hardware — since tweeters and crossovers often need to be adaptable to a variety of car interiors, you'll need options when it comes to mounting them.
High-quality internal components, like those in this crossover, make a big difference in the quality of your sound.
Add an amplifier to give them the power they need
Often, component systems are designed to handle higher amounts of power than their same-brand coaxial counterparts. They'll work fine when powered by an aftermarket stereo, but they'll really sound their best when powered by an external amplifier. Keep this in mind when you're planning your system.
Also, many crossovers have extra input terminals to allow bi-amping. Instead of driving the woofer and tweeter with a single channel of amplification, you can connect two sets of cables, with each set carrying the signal from a separate amplifier (or amp channel). This way, both low-frequency drivers (woofers) and high-frequency drivers (tweeters) receive dedicated amplification. Look for this feature if you're planning to put together a serious high-performance system.
If you don't intend to add an outboard amp, then make sure the component speakers are rated to perform well on just deck power.

CHAD from HoustonPosted on 9/24/2015
I have a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab. I recently purchased a jl audio jx1000/1d. I am hoping to use the amps maximum output. What 1 or 2 jl audio subs will fit behind the back seat? Also I am wanting to install a nice component pair of speakers in the front and a pair of full range in the back. What amp will power all 4 speakers and 2 tweeters. I want everything to be jl audio and I'm going to be using a KDC X998
Adrian from New Port Richey FLPosted on 11/2/2015
After connecting component woofer and tweeter via crossover what is the independence. 4 ohm? If i have a coaxial 6x9 4ohm connected to 1 channel and i add a 4ohm tweeter to it is it 2ohm now? How can i make it 4? My amp is too powerful at 2ohm load...
Les from houstonPosted on 11/26/2015
2011 Silverado Crewcab without bose system, but does have factory tweeters in the windshield post. I had installed JL stealthbox with 12's wired to 1ohm, Memphis 1100/1 to push them, and a pioneer avh-x4700bs head unit. (I had stereo shop install) I decided to upgrade my door speakers, so I bought a pair of JL c2650 full range for the rear, and a pair of JL c2650 components for the front, along with a jx400/4 to push them. Should I replace the factory tweeters in the windshield post with the new JL's? JL recommends not putting them further than the 8 inches away from the woofer. Did I buy the proper amp considering I have 6 speakers from the factory with only 4 outputs from amp. Should I use the JL in line crossover that came with the 6.5 components, or use the pioneer head units crossover?

Hello I have a pair of JBL P660c component systems for my 2008 hinda civic and wanna buy an amp for them, can you please recommend a good amp for this component system? this are the specs for the comp. system each General Features 6-1/2" Power Series Component System Power Handling: Peak: 540 watts per system / 270 watts each side RMS: 180 watts per system / 90 watts each side
Long Nguyen from SeattlePosted on 4/20/2016
I have a 2016 honda accord sport with 160watt stock head unit. This trim comes with 4 speakers. What does the 160watt mean? Is it 160watt to power each of the 4 speakers, or is the 160watt combined? (I guess the latter) Reason for asking is that I'm trying to upgrade my stereo system, potentially starting with upgrading all 4 speakers. What speaker wattage will fit my car? There isn't 2016 honda accord sport trim selection on crutchfield.com.
Steven Chavez from Albuquerque New MexPosted on 5/20/2016
I'm wanting to install component speakers on my motorcycle. It's a road King, I have a small 4 channel 400 watt amp. The speakers I need are 5.25s. There is six of them, 3 speakers in each saddle bag. I was wondering do I have to hook up a crossover for every speaker? or am able to just get away with just using two? One in each bag. Also too how will I mount that many tweeters on a bike? Thanks for your support!
John from LansingPosted on 6/14/2016
I have a 1999½ Nissan Pathfinder. Title says 99 but some parts I need to order for a 2000. Does this matter for stereos? Should I order for 1999 or 2000?
Chase from BaltimorePosted on 7/9/2016
I have a full aftermarket system with full-range speakers and an aftermarket head unit with no external amp and being that its going on 10 years old now I was getting ready to upgrade the system to a new head unit with an external amp and component speakers instead of full-range ones. However, I notice with my current speakers that I have to turn the high end way down because it is almost too much and sometimes even hurts to listen to some of the really high notes. I wanted to know if there was a way to remedy this with the new system by either leaving out the tweaters in the components on one or both sets of speakers or possibly somehow lower the amount of power they get with respect to the woofer.
Justin from Lockport, NYPosted on 9/6/2016
So i may have screwed up... I recently received components as a gift but when i opened the package i thought that it was simply a pair of full range speakers and a pair of replacement tweeters for my truck (2008 chevy silverado 4 door without bose and still using the stock radio and wiring by the way). The stock speakers in the back door were blown out when I bought the truck so i had asked for new ones and did not specify what kind. Upon receiving them I (of course without realizing what i had) immediately installed the woofers in the back door and threw the tweeters in the windshield pillar in place of the old stock ones. Now the new tweeters sound great up there so i might just leave them unless you think it will pose a problem in the future, however the rear door hardly has any sound as it is just a woofer but is still receiving full range of sounds. Should i just get a couple more tweeters and install them in the rear door? If so what about crossovers? The speakers i received did not come with them. Any help you could offer would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Bj from OkmulgeePosted on 12/27/2016
I have never installed component speakers and this will be my first time. I will be using a 2 channel amplifier and have no clue, what the amplifier settings need to be. Please help :(
PetePosted on 1/1/2017
Chris Bennet of JL Audio disagrees with your assertion that components sound better than full range coax speakers. Here is a link to the video where he makes his claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6ezRJsdqv8 I would really like to hear your take on what Chris has to say in the video. He works for JL Audio UK so one has to assume he knows of what he speaks. I have installed component systems which sounded phenomenal. The question that arises? Is the additional time/cost for installation and tuning of a component system worth the money over the ease of installation/tuning a high quality coax such as the JL Audio C5-570x?
Dave from MontrealPosted on 3/2/2017
All the component sets that I've seen comes with 2 woofers and 2 tweeters, but my car has 2 tweeters and 4 speakers (2 on the front doors and 2 on the rear doors). Is it possible/a good idea to buy 2 tweeters 4 woofers and a subwoofer for my car? Is it a waste of money?

Early 3-inch model 317s came with that exact sight set-up. I owned one, and after shooting it side-by-side with one of the newer models, I was really glad I had the plain black sights. Here are two different options you might want to try:
- Call S&W and tell them you want a set of plain black sights for your 317, like the ones on the early model 3-inch 317s (this was a plain black serrated ramp front, and black square-notch rear). See if they will sell you the sights you need, or if they will sell and install them if you send the gun back to the factory. Be sitting down when you ask about the price; it may be a little steep.
- Call Brownell's and ask to talk to a technician who is familiar with S&W revolver sights. They may be able to tell you the sight combo you need to order to get the correct set-up on your gun. I haven't used the Tech Staff folks in the last few years, but the several times I called and talked to a gunsmith/technician, they were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Good luck!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 459
I type up all the text on the computer using Microsoft Word as my handwriting isn't great. Then I print it off, cut out paragraphs, and do everything else cut and paste style with scissors and gluesticks.
I prefer sitting on the ground at the coffee table working while watching TV rather than staring at a computer screen for hours on end.
I think it's good to mix things up. There used to be a zine called "Something For Nothing", by Idy, out of Ohio. He did around 50 issues of it, and never charged for it (hence the title). Every issue I'd get seemed to be a different format, size, etc, and it was always really fun, especially if you collected a lot of them. I've tried to take on that mentality.
For the past 2 months I've been putting together Proof I Exist #13, and it's turned into quite a challenge. I'm doing a limited run of only 113 copies, but each one will be unique. I've used my computer, my typewriter, several rubber stamps, stickers, individual glue-sticking in each copy, spray paint for color, and sewing machines to add pieces of fabric. It's an art project as much as a zine, but I like that it will be totally weird when it's done. (yet still have lots of writing and stories).

VIDEO: Imagine Dragons Felt Out Of Place At The Grammys
Imagine Dragons stopped through to chat with Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Show. They discussed when Ben went to jail for some bad choices he made in Las Vegas.
Elvis asked them about their experience at the Grammys and Dan Reynolds went on to say "We probably all felt a little out of place. One because we're a rock band which is a little different. Two because it was our first time." Ben McKee went on to say "It may have been the first time we ever performed without wearing jeans."

General Information
The Urban Studies Program fosters student understanding of urban systems and problems, and encourages and emphasizes integrated interdisciplinary approaches to urban studies. The Urban Studies minor often completes a major with a participating department (e.g., Political Science, Geography, History, Sociology, Religion, Psychology, Education or Economics). The student, in consultation with an Urban Studies adviser, may design the minor to focus upon a particular interest such as public policy, urban planning or city administration.
The Urban Studies curriculum includes three levels. The first level consists of the interdisciplinary, team-taught course Urban Studies 171. The second level is drawn from existing departmental course offerings and includes a set of basic Urban Studies courses as well as suggested urban interest courses. It is expected that students would also take methodology courses appropriate to their majors; these would also be considered second-level courses, although they are not specifically required for the completion of an Urban Studies minor. A third level comprises of several opportunities for higher-level analysis of urban affairs such as the writing of a senior paper and practical experiences in urban agencies or urban schools. Internships are available in Springfield and in other cities as arranged.

Having Mom Over For Dinner
Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there were more between Brian and Jennifer than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.' About a week later, Jennifer came
to Brian saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?' Brian said, 'Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mom, I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love,
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:
Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Jennifer, I'm
not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Jennifer. But the fact
remains that if Jennifer were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom
Moral of the story.........
Irelands child
A rather full figured young woman was telling her family doctor that her husband wasn't paying attention to her and never wanted any intimate contact.
The Doctor thought for a moment and said "Why don't you diet?"
The young woman replied, "That's a great idea, what color do you think he'd like!"
Dear Walter:
I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with our neighbor making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?
Dear Mary:
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the intake manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.
I hope this helps.
Duck Hunting
A duck hunter was out enjoying a nice morning on the marsh when he decided to take a leak.... He walked over to a tree and propped up his gun. Just then a gust of wind blew, the gun fell over, and discharged... shooting him in the genitals. Several hours later, lying in a hospital bed he was approached by his doctor. 'Well sir, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you are going to be OK. The damage was local to your groin, there was very little internal damage, and we were able to remove all of the buckshot. 'What's the bad news?' asked the hunter. 'The bad news is that there was some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your penis. _I'm going to have to refer you to my brother. 'Oh, well I guess that isn't too bad,' the hunter replied. 'Is your brother a plastic surgeon?' 'Not exactly.' answered the doctor. 'He's a flute player in the local symphony and he's going to teach you where to put your fingers so you don't piss in your eye.'

Because the poor woman was one sandwich short of a picnic, the other residents tolerated her and some of them actually joined in.
One day, Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a door opened and Kooky Clarence stepped out with his arm outstretched. "STOP!" He shouted in a firm voice. "Have you got a license for that thing?" Ethel fished around in her handbag and pulled out a Kit Kat wrapper and held it up to him. "OK" He said and away Ethel sped down the hall. As she took the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel, Weird Harold popped out in front of her and shouted "STOP! Have you got proof of insurance?"
Ethel dug into her handbag, pulled out a drink coaster and held it up to him. Harold nodded and said "On your way, Ma'am." As Ethel neared the final corridor, Crazy Craig stepped out in front of her, butt naked, with his manhood in his hand. "Oh, good grief!" Yelled Ethel, "Not that damn breathalyzer test again!!!"
Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Arkansas. In my favourite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident.
I re-attached them and 8 months later, he performed a private concert for the Queen of England." The second surgeon said. "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident. I reattached them and 2 years later, he won a Gold medal in track and field events in the Olympics." The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman high on cocaine and marijuana rode a horse head-on into a train travelling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's butt. I was able to put them together and now she's running for President."
A drunk staggers out of a bar and runs into two priests. He runs up to them and says, ''I'm Jesus Christ!'' The first priest says, ''No, son, I'm Jesus Christ.'' So the drunk says it to the second priest. The second priest replies, ''No, son, I'm Jesus Christ.'' The drunk says, ''Look, I can prove it.'' And walks back into the bar with the priests. The bartender takes one look at the drunk and exclaims, ''Jesus Christ, you're here again?''
Little Johnny sees alot of guys comin' outta the store across the street smilin' an whistlin'. ''Dad, whatta they sell over there makes everbody so happy?''
''You're too young for that!'' His Dad says. Curiosity gets the better of him, so he breaks open his piggy bank and goes across the street. He walks up to the woman behind the counter and says: ''Lady, I want 38 cents worth o' what ever is makin' all o' these fellers so happy'' She grins and sticks her finger down there, then rubs it under his nose. Johnny yells: ''Sonofa*****, I'm sure glad I didn't buy no dollars worth!''
Little Johnny is waiting for the bus with a quart of turps. He shakes it and watches the bubbles, shakes it and watches the bubbles. A Priest walks up and asks him what's in the jar. ''Well Preacher, this is the most powerful liquid in the world, this here's turpentine.'' The preist says ''No son, the most powerful liquid is Holy water. You can rub Holy water on a pregnant woman and she'll pass a baby boy every time.'' Johnny says ''Shoot, that ain't nuthin'. Rub this turpentine on a cat's butt an he'll pass a motorcycle!''

A cowboy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar. "But what the heck," he says to himself, I really want a drink."
When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the cowboy, "What's the name of your penis?"
The cowboy says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."
The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your penis. Mine for instance is called Nike, for the slogan 'Just Do It.'
That guy down at the end of the bar calls his Snickers, because 'It really Satisfies'."
The cowboy looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. So the cowboy asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of yours?"
The man looks back and says with a smile "TIMEX."
The thirsty cowboy asks, "Why Timex?"
The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!"
A little shaken, the cowboy turns to the fella on his right, who is sipping a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you call yours?"
The man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because Quality is Job One." Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford, lately?"
Even more shaken, the Cowboy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his manhood.
Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my penis is SECRET. Now give me a beer."
The bartender begins to pour the cowboy a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why Secret?"
The cowboy says, "Because it's Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman!"

A war correspondant visiting Afghanistan noticed that since the fall of the Taliban, women who used to walk 10 paces behind the men are now walking 10 paces in front.
The journalist asked one of the men if this was a sign of growing equality.
The man replied: "No, landmines!"
A redneck rings his boss and says: "I wont be at work today, I've got anal blindness".
The boss says: "Whats that?"
The redneck says: "I cant see my arse getting out of bed today!"
"In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears while in the field.
"We advise outdoorsmen to wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.
"It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear manure: Black bear manure is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear manure has little bells in it and smells like pepper-spray."
A visiting professor at the University of Alabama is giving a seminar on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost? 15 students raise their hands. "That's a great response. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3 students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" One student in the back raises his hand. The professor is astonished. He takes off his glasses, takes a step back and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have slept with a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin and begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost." The student replies, "Ghost?!? Dang it, I thought you said 'GOATS'."
An Italian guy is out picking up chicks in Rome. While at his favorite bar, he manages to attract a very beautiful blonde woman. So they go back to his place and sure enough, they go at it. After a long while he climaxes loudly, rolls over, lights up a cigarette and asks her, "Are youa finish?" After a slight pause she replies, "No." Surprised, he puts out his cigarette, rolls back on top of her and has his way with her again--this time lasting even longer than the first. Again he rolls over, lights a cigarette and asks, "Youa finish?" Again, after a short pause, she simply says, "No." Stunned, but still acting reflexively on his macho pride, he mounts her again. This time with all the strength he could muster. He barely manages to end the task, but he does. Exhausted, he reaches for his cigarette. "Soa, youa finish, or what?!" "No," comes her reply. "I am Swedish."

A man and his five year old son were out walking in South America when a baby Aardvark ran towards them.
"Daddy, daddy..will it bite?" The boy asked. "No, son", Replied his father "A little Aardvark never hurt anyone".
A ten year old boy was stuck with his homework.. "Could you help me with this, Grandad" ? "Yes, I could," Replies Grandad, "But it wouldn't be right would it?" "I guess not", Says the boy, "But have a shot at it anyway".
The NYPD, the FBI, & the CIA have engaged for years in serious competition to determine which organization is the best at apprehending criminals. The President, wanting to resolve the question once and for all, releases a rabbit into a forest and challenges each organization to utilize its best methods to bring the rabbit in to him. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They place hidden microphones on all of the trees and motion detectors behind each rock. After three months of extensive investigations, they conclude that rabbits do not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads, they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit and make no apologies.... the rabbit had it coming. The NYPD goes in. A mere two hours later they come out leading a badly beaten bear by the ear. The bear is yelling: "OK, OK, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit."
Dr. Dave was a good doctor, but he had a nasty habit of sleeping with his patients. He could hardly live with the guilt of it all... One half of his subconscious said, "Don't worry, Dave, you're a good doctor!" The other half said, "Dave! Leave it out, mate, you're a vet!!!"
A trucker was driving his fully loaded rig to the top of a steep hill. Just as he was starting down the equally steep other side, he noticed a man and a woman lying in the centre of the road, making wild and passionate love. In total disbelief, he blew his air horn several times as he was bearing down on them. He realised that they were not going to stop or get out of his way,so he slammed on his brakes and stopped just inches from them. Furious, he got out of the cab and walked to the front of the truck. He looked down at the two, still in the road, and yelled, "What the hell's the matter with you two? Didn't you hear me blowing the horn? You could have been killed!" Eventually, the man looked up at the truck driver, obviously satisfied and not too concerned and said, "Look, I was coming, she was coming and you were coming. You were the only one with brakes."
The traveller knocked on the door of the house where a cab driver had told him he could be sexually accommodated. An eye-level panel slid open and a female voice asked what he wanted. "I want to get screwed," Said the man. "OK, mister, but this is a private club, so slip twenty bucks as an initiation fee through the mail slot." Answered the voice. The man did this, the panel was closed, minutes passed. Nothing happened. He began to pound on the door insistently and the panel slid open. "Hey!" Exclaimed the sport, "I want to get screwed!"
"What?" Said the voice, "Again?"
A man was visiting his wife in hospital where she has been in a coma for several years. He has tried everything from reading her favourite novels to playing her favourite music to get some kind of reaction from her to give him hope that she will eventually return to him, but nothing has worked. So, on this visit, he decides to rub her left breast instead of just talking to her. On doing this she lets out a sigh. The man runs out and tells the doctor, who says this is a good sign and suggests he should try rubbing her right breast to make sure it wasn't a fluke. The man goes in and rubs her right breast and this brings a moan. From this, the doctor suggests that the man should go in and try oral sex, saying he will wait outside as it is a personal act and he doesn't want the man to be embarrassed. The man goes in, then comes out about five minutes later, white as a sheet and tells the doctor his wife is dead. The doctor asks what happened, to which the man replies: "I think she choked."
A Fairy Tale
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer; he would be put to death.
The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered...is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now....what is the moral to this story?
Scroll down
The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly.

My girlfriend always seemed to enjoy seeing just how much she could get away with doing some form of our bondage in public. She does this partly because she finds it fun, mostly because she knows it drives me out of my tree. Usually, I'm able to fasttalk my way out of potentially embarrassing situations with Mundanes, but yesterday she very nearly got me fired.
Yesterday afternoon we had lunch together. Afterward, she accompanied me back to my place of work. I thought this slightly unusual, since she had never before expressed an interest in my work (electronic engineering), but it didn't occur to me that she had something planned.
We arrived at my workbench, where I'm currently trying to figure out why the $&%@*! board on which I'm working is not performing the way I designed it.
"Is this where you work?" she asked.
"At the moment," I replied.
I reached over to turn on the scope, thereby completely failing to notice the huge studded black leather collar she produced from her purse. Before I could even blink (it's amazing the speed at which she can do this), she had locked the collar snugly around my neck, and locked the end of the six-foot jack chain to the center of the bench (where there just happened to be a mounting hole, dammit). I turned to face her in utter disbelief, mouth agape.
"I'll be back for you at five," she said.
"HAVE YOU GONE COMPLETELY WACKO!!?!?" I yelled in a hushed voice. "HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS???"
"You'll think of something," she said, dropping the keys into her cleavage.
"You always do."
"But suppose I have to go to the bathroom," I countered.
"Don't give me that," she said. "I've seen you go for a whole day without visiting the bathroom."
"But..." I tried to say.
"SHHH! The subject is closed. I'll be back at five. Bye."
She turned and left, against my hushed protests. I sat in panic and tried to think out my situation. I tried to think of all the people who might visit. Most of my co-workers were friends who knew that my girlfriend and I were a bit odd, so this shouldn't surprise them. But I had *no* idea what I was going to say if one of my bosses came in. I checked my watch to see how long I would have to endure this ignominy. 13:30 (I'm a military time weenie). "Three and a half hours," I thought. I heaved a sigh, and got to work, such as I could.
As it happened, three of my co-workers visited for whatnot. All of them immediately noticed the collar (it would be pretty hard not to), and asked if it was my girlfriend's idea. I said yes. They asked what I would say if my supervisor saw it. I said I hadn't the faintest idea.
One of the aforementioned colleagues took the bench next to me, and after a few remarks (and a question as to where he could get a collar like the one I had), settled down to work in silence.
After some time, I checked my watch. 16:40. "Gee, I just might make it through this after all," I thought. I was even beginning to get a handle on the problem with the #%^*@! board on which I was working. Murphy must have been standing right behind me reading my thoughts, for not more than two minutes later one of my bosses entered the room. And not just any boss. Noooooooo. This was Mr. Narrowminded himself. This was the guy who took Lifespring *and* became a born-again fundamentalist. How he came to have the power of hire-and-fire over us is one of the Great Mysteries of The Universe. We avoided this guy at all costs.
His eyes fell upon me immediately. A few picoseconds later, he saw the collar around my neck in all its splendor. "My life is over," I thought. I still hadn't thought of a plausible explanation for this. Mr. Solderbrain (the name we called him behind his back; a corruption of his real name) started to walk slowly and deliberately over to me, his eyes fixed on the collar. Fifteen agonizing seconds later, he was standing next to me. I thought the guy sitting next to me was going to have a seizure stifling all his giggles. I continued to work, acting as though there were nothing the least bit unusual about my predicament.
Finally, he spoke. "What. The. HELL! Is. That??!" he said.
I don't know how I thought of what I said. In fact, I'm pretty sure I didn't know what I was going to say until just as I was saying it. I'm even more amazed that Solderbrain actually bought it and didn't fire me on the spot.
I turned to face him calmly, with total nonchalance, exuding complete confidence in what I was about to say, even though I didn't know what it was yet. I didn't even miss a beat.
"Grounding strap," I said, and returned to work.
The guy next to me fell off his chair and nearly died laughing.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:03am
Inside Lacrosse has confirmed via the player's family that attackman Mike Daniello has been granted his release from Johns Hopkins University and plans to transfer to Syracuse University for the 2013 season. Daniello, who was IL's 10th-ranked incoming freshman attackman last season, appeared in eight games for the Blue Jays during the 2012 season.
As a standout player at John Jay-Cross River, Daniello amassed 108 goals and 76 assists and was named an Under Armour All-American in 2011. Mike is the younger brother of former Syracuse University All-American attackman Chris Daniello ('10), who helped the team win NCAA championships in 2008 and 2009. His oldest brother, Nick, was a longstick midfielder and defender at Stevens Tech.
Daniello's transfer follows in the footsteps of Tommy Palasek, who spent his final two seasons with the Orange after starting his career in Homewood. As a senior, Palasek led 'Cuse in scoring with 24 goals and 30 assists.
In other Johns Hopkins news, midfielder John Greeley, who sustained a torn ACL in the Blue Jays' loss to Navy in April, was on-hand last week at Jake Reed's Nike Blue Chip Camp at UMBC while interning for Nike. Greeley was walking without a knee brace and said his rehab is going well.
Greeley is rehabbing a knee injury for the second time after tearing a ligament during the summer of 2011, heading into his junior season.
In other injury news, Cornell attackman Rob Pannell tweeted yesterday from Vail, where he's getting back on the field in the Vail Shootout.
"Feels so great to be back playing again. Forgot what the beating feels like though especially in summer lax...def feeling it a bit," Pannell tweeted.
During the NCAA Semifinals, news broke that Pannell would seek another year of eligibility at Cornell. All indications are that Pannell's quest for a fifth-year is still on track, but has yet to be approved by the Ivy League.
Editor's Note, 6 p.m. on 7/3: In the moments between last communication and the publishing of this story, developments occurred to change the nature of the story. Originally, the story stated that Streep would not pursue his final year of eligibility.
Bucknell midfielder/attackman Charlie Streep, who tore his ACL heading into the 2012 season and, despite early hopes didn't return for the Bison last season, says he's still considering options as to where use his final year of eligibility. He finished his career at Bucknell with 107 points.

The NCAA Tournament is college basketball's biggest stage.
For NBA teams, it provides the final chance to see players and evaluate them under pressure before the draft.
Players can improve their position and make more money with eye-opening play in the tournament.
Conversely, they can cost themselves if they play poorly or their team is eliminated early, which limits their exposure.
With that in mind, here's a list of 10 possible lottery picks to keep an eye on during the tournament.
(Note: Kentucky's Nerlens Noel, a freshman center and likely top-five pick, is not included because he is sidelined with a knee injury).
Ben McLemore, Kansas
Position • Shooting guard
Vitals • Freshman, 6-5, 195
What you will see • A fluid athlete who can get to the basket or score from long range. He can create his own shots but is not hesitant about getting others involved.
Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State
Position • Point guard/shooting guard
Vitals • Freshman, 6-4, 225
What you will see • Has tremendous size, which translates into a two-position player. Scouts like his passing and creativity. He's a Russell Westbrook-type.
Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA
Position • Shooting guard/small forward
Vitals • Freshman, 6-6, 225
What you will see • He hasn't dominated in college, which is disappointing. But has undeniable physical skills. Once polished, he could be an elite player.
Victor Oladipo, Indiana
Position • Shooting guard
Vitals • Junior, 6-4, 215
What you will see • Another explosive athlete who can defend and rebound. His quickness gets him to the basket, and his size allows him to finish in traffic.
Otto Porter, Georgetown
Position • Small forward
Vitals • Sophomore, 6-8, 205
What you will see: • A player who will be drafted because of what he can become in the NBA. He has great length for his position. Athletic and team-oriented.
Anthony Bennett, UNLV
Position • Small forward/power forward
Vitals • Freshman, 6-7, 240
What you will see • He is quick enough, big enough and strong enough to play two positions. NBA teams love players who can provide that kind of flexibility.
Alex Len, Maryland
Position • Center
Vitals • Sophomore, 7-1, 250
What you will see • A Canadian-born big whose offensive game includes a mid-range jumper. He's already an athletic rebounder and rim-protecting defender.
Cody Zeller, Indiana
Position • Center
Vitals • Sophomore, 6-11, 250
What you will see • He is a prototypical post player who is quick on his feet, can finish in traffic and can hit a jump shot. Has a knack for making big plays.
Kelly Olynyk, Gonzaga
Position • Center
Vitals • Junior, 7-0, 240
What you will see • The Bulldogs could end up as a No. 1 seed in Salt Lake City, giving Utah fans a close look at a skilled scorer and passer and shot-blocker.
Michael Carter-Williams, Syracuse
Position • Point guard
Vitals • Sophomore, 6-6, 185
What you will see • His stock has jumped this season and, if the Jazz fall into the lottery, he could be a target. He leads the nation in assists and has great size.

Please be gentle with me, this is my first post.
I have decided on a career change and will be starting a CELTA course in the new year. I feel that it is a bit premature to request a mentor at this stage, but would be very grateful for some support and encouragement along the way.
Thank you in anticipation.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Massachusetts and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Hi Everybody!
After gaining some confidence from some totally radical TDH'rs I'm headed out on my next adventure. I'm putting together a SE RoTJ Fett, and next on my list of things to do is the amazing technicolor jet pack As the title kinda says. I am using all kinds of different reference pic the SE pro, AoSW, MoM,the jp pics in the RoTJ section of the gallery, and everything in between. I'm leaning a little more toward the newer pics of the jp since I'm going SE.
This paint up will be my interpretation of the ROTJ JP. I'm just going to try and do the best i can. I'm using a paintlist that i picked up herehttp://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/boba-fett-rotj-jetpack-paintup-38327/ as kind of a guide. I using all Humbrol mostly because i already have the tinlets on hand.
My hope is this will help me , and help others that want to paint their own jp. If nothing else.. this could turn into a how not to paint a jp thread.
picture updates coming

"I loved the fact that I could customize the text to what I wanted to say, not be obligated to use the text provided. It was extremely easy to do. Overall, I was very happy with the invites I created and was even more happy when I recieved them in 2 days like they said I would."
"This card was the perfect template for my son's baptism invitations. This card had a place to put a photo, we used one of the pictures from his newborn photo shoot and it went perfectly with the colors and layout of the invitation. The quality of the paper was a very heavy card stock and the print quality was top notch. I've received nothing but compliments from everyone who has received the invitation."
"I absolutely love the design of this invitation! We've received so many compliments on these baptism invitations. Thank you Tiny Prints for another great order :)"
"We ordered the invitations late but because of the rapid service at tiny prints we were able to receive our invites and get them out in time. Great customer service. They were very helpful and professional. I would definitely use them again."
"This was a very beautiful card that came out exactly how I imagined. The paper quality was very good and the printing was amazing. Our family and friends loved it!! Would highly recommend!!"

By Josh James in Kuala Lumpur
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has admitted he was "blown away" by the reception the Arsenal team received upon arriving in Malaysia on Sunday afternoon.
The England forward is making his first trip to the Far East and, shortly after landing in Kuala Lumpur, he took part in a press conference to promote Tuesday's friendly against a Malaysia XI before speaking exclusively to Arsenal.com.
"The fans are really passionate out here - you could say bordering on crazy!" said Oxlade-Chamberlain. "No, they are really good people, really respectful too. They are passionate and intense, but they respect your space and respect you as a person.
"We have only been here an hour but it's already been a massive experience for me personally, and even for the boys who were here last year. It's blown everyone away again."
Oxlade-Chamberlain is part of a 24-man Arsenal squad which will spend eight days in Asia, playing matches in Beijing and Hong Kong as well as Kuala Lumpur.
"For us to come out here, it shows that we do care about the fans all over the world," he added. "Coming to a place like Malaysia, and seeing them all, they give us so much excitement.
"I've only been here an hour and I can already say I want to come back next year!
"You see how passionate the fans are about the football club and you personally, so it's important for us to come here and show that we do care."
The full interview will appear on Arsenal Player soon

Effective date: November 6, 2009
Social Security Administration
Notice of System of Records
Required by the Privacy Act of 1974; as Amended
System Number: 60-0325
System name: Appointed Representative File, Social Security Administration (SSA), Office of Disability Adjudication and Review and Deputy Commissioner for Retirement and Disability Policy.
Security classification: None.
Location: Social Security Administration, Office of Systems,
Categories of individuals covered by the system: This system covers all claimants' representatives who are currently eligible to represent SSA claimants or have represented SSA claimants in the past at the administrative or court level in SSA matters. A representative may be any person (e.g., attorney, eligible direct pay non-attorney, or non-professional such as a friend, neighbor, or minister), a firm, or other professional entity that provides representative services, regardless of whether the representative charges or collects a fee for providing the representational services.
Categories of records in the system: This system will contain personally identifiable information and contact information for all appointed representatives. For example, we collect name (regardless of category, payment type, or representational status), date of birth, tax identification number (TIN)/Social Security number (SSN), representative identification number, tax mailing address, notice address, payment address, telephone numbers (e.g., business, fax, and cell phone) and type of representative (i.e., attorney, eligible direct pay non-attorney, non-professional, a firm, or other professional entity).
The system will also contain information about the representative's legal standing and business affiliations. For example, we collect current bar and court information (e.g., year admitted, license number, present standing), sanction-related information (e.g., "Disqualified or Suspended," and start/stop date of sanction), date the appointment was signed, termination of service date, business affiliation information (e.g., sole proprietor or single-member Limited Liability Company/Limited Liability partnership, partner, or salaried employee), name and address of the firm or entity, employer identification number (EIN) of the entity, and banking information.
The system will also maintain relevant claimants' SSNs.
Authority for maintenance of the system: Sections 205, 206, 1631(d)(1) and 1631(d)(2) of the Social Security Act, as amended, sections 6041 and 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code, and implementing regulations at 26 CFR Part 1.
Purpose(s): By altering the Appointed Representative File system of records, we will more efficiently collect, maintain, and use information about appointed representatives, regardless of category, payment type, or representational status, and strengthen the overall representative business process. We use information in this system to verify, document, and organize information about representatives.
Routine uses of records covered by the Appointed Representative File system of records, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses: Routine use disclosures are indicated below; however, we will not disclose any information defined as "return or return information" under 26 U.S.C. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), unless authorized by the IRC, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or IRS regulations.
1. To the Office of the President in response to an inquiry made at the request of the subject of the record or a third party on that person's behalf.
2. To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of the record or a third party on that person's behalf.
3. To the IRS and to State and local government tax agencies in response to inquiries regarding receipt of fees we paid directly starting in calendar year 2007.
4. To the IRS to permit its auditing of our compliance with the safeguard provisions of the IRC of 1986, as amended.
5. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court, other tribunal, or another party before such court or tribunal when:
a) SSA or any component thereof;
b) any SSA employee in his or her official capacity;
c) any SSA employee in his or her individual capacity when DOJ (or SSA when we are authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) the
is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and we determine that the use of such records by DOJ, a court, other tribunal, or another party before such court or tribunal is relevant and necessary to the litigation. In each case, however, we must determine that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which we collected the records.
6. To DOJ for:
a) investigating and prosecuting violations of the Social Security Act to which criminal penalties attach;
b) representing the Commissioner; or
c) investigating issues of fraud or violation of civil rights by agency officers or employees.
7. To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, to assist us in efficiently administering our programs. We will disclose information under this routine use only in situations in which we may enter into a contractual or similar agreement with a third party to assist in accomplishing an agency function relating to this system of records.
8. To student volunteers, persons working under a personal services contract, and others who are not technically Federal employees, when they are performing work for us, as authorized by law, and they need access to information in our records in order to perform their assigned duties.
9. To Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies and private security contractors as appropriate, information as necessary:
a) to enable them to assure the safety of our employees and customers, the security of our workplace, and the operation of our facilities; or
b) to assist investigations or prosecutions with respect to activities that affect such safety and security or activities that disrupt the operation of our facilities.
10. To the General Services Administration and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. §§ 2904 and 2906, as amended by the NARA Act, information that is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law for their use in conducting records management studies.
11. To employers to assist us in collecting debts owed by claimants' representatives who received an excess or erroneous representational fee payment and owe a delinquent debt to us. Disclosure under this routine use is authorized under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 104-134) and implemented through administrative wage garnishment provisions of this Act. See 31 U.S.C. § 3720D.
12. To employers of claimants' representatives (e.g., law firms, partnerships, or other business entities) in accordance with the requirements of sections 6041 and 6045(f) of the IRC as implemented by the IRS Regulations found at 26 CFR 1.6041-1, and as necessary for us to carry out the requirements for fee reporting to appointed representatives.
13. To the appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when: 1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; 2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, risk of identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or our other systems or programs that rely upon the compromised information; and 3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. We will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of our records.
We will disclose appointed representative information under this routine use specifically in connection with response and remediation efforts in the event of an unintentional release of agency information, otherwise known as a "data security breach." This routine use will protect the interests of the people whose information is at risk by allowing us to take appropriate steps to facilitate a timely and effective response to a data breach. The routine use will also help us improve our ability to prevent, minimize, or remedy any harm that may result from a compromise of data covered in this system of records.
Disclosure to Consumer Reporting Agencies:
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b)(12) of the Privacy Act, we may disclose information to consumer reporting agencies as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681a(f)) or the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966 (31 U.S.C. § 3701, et seq.), as amended. We will make the disclosure in accordance with 31 U.S.C. § 3711(e) when authorized by sections 204(f), 808(e), or 1631(b)(4) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 404(f), 1008(e), or 1383(b)(4)). We may disclose under these circumstances to facilitate the collection of outstanding debts owed to the Federal government, to provide an incentive for debtors to repay delinquent Federal government debts by making the debts part of their credit records. The information we disclose is limited to the person's name, address, SSN, and other information necessary to establish the person's identity, the amount, status, and history of the debt, and the agency or program under which the debt arose.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system:
Storage: We will store records in this system in paper and electronic form.
Retrievability: We will retrieve records by SSN, representative identification number, or alphabetically by the person's name.
Safeguards: We retain paper and electronic files with personal identifiers in secure storage areas accessible only to our authorized employees and contractors. We limit access to data with personal identifiers from this system to only our authorized personnel who have a need for the information when performing their official duties.
We provide appropriate security awareness and training annually to all our employees and contractors that include reminders about the need to protect personally identifiable information and the criminal penalties that apply to unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, personally identifiable information. See 5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(l). Furthermore, employees and contractors with access to databases maintaining personally identifiable information must sign a sanction document annually, acknowledging their accountability for inappropriately accessing or disclosing such information.
and disposal: For purposes of
records management dispositions authority, we follow the
System manager(s) and address(es): Deputy Commissioner for Budget, Finance and Management, Social Security Administration, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235.
Notification procedures: Persons can determine if this system contains a record about them by writing to the system manager at the above address to verify their identity or they must certify in the request that they are the person they claim to be and understand that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another person under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
Persons requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license. Persons lacking identification documents sufficient to establish their identity must certify in writing that they are the person they claim to be and that they understand that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another person under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
Persons requesting notification by telephone must verify their identity by providing identifying information that parallels the information in the record about which they are requesting notification. If we determine that the identifying information the person provides by telephone is insufficient, we will require the person to submit a request in writing or in person. If a person requests information by telephone on behalf of another person, the subject person must be on the telephone with the requesting person and us in the same phone call. We will establish the subject person's identity (his or her name, SSN, address, date of birth, and place of birth, along with one other piece of information such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his or her consent to provide information to the requesting person. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 C.F.R. §§ 401.40 and 401.45).
Record access procedures: Same as notification procedures. Requesters also should reasonably specify the record contents they are seeking. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 C.F.R. § 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures: Same as notification procedures. Persons also should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting, and state the corrective action sought and the reasons for the correction with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate, or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 C.F.R. § 401.65(a)).
Record source categories: We obtain information covered by the Appointed Representative File system of records from claimant representatives and SSA records, such as the Master Beneficiary Record, Supplemental Security Record, and Master Files of Social Security Number (SSN) Holders and SSN Applications.
Exemptions claimed for the system: None.

Dear friends,
I'm going to go out on a limb here and post a poem by Australian poet Les Murray.
Given the themes raised in recent posts, I've been trying to articulate my thoughts about religion, but I'm having much difficulty. But speaking very generally and tentatively, my opinion is that current criticisms of religion (articulated by the likes of Dawkins et al.) do raise an important cautionary note about the dangers of unreflexive religiosity and fanaticism. But at the same time, I also feel that these criticisms are somewhat narrow in their insistence on reading religion solely on the modern scientific premises of true/false. If religion deals with 'truth', it does so in a somewhat different manner--this is of course not to say that it is immune to rational inquiry or that it has license to ignore scientific premises.
So how does religion deal with truth then? I can't really answer but I think Les Murray's poem makes a good attempt, even if it raises more questions than it answers. My aim here is not to restart the debate on religion as such but merely to explore new paths of inquiry in a debate that seem to have cloistered [<-- a religious metaphor but quite apt here, I think] itself. Anyway, FWIW:
Poetry And Religion
Religions are poems. They concert
our daylight and dreaming mind, our
emotions, instinct, breath and native gesture
into the only whole thinking: poetry.
Nothing's said till it's dreamed out in words
and nothing's true that figures in words only.
A poem, compared with an arrayed religion,
may be like a soldier's one short marriage night
to die and live by. But that is a small religion.
Full religion is the large poem in loving repetition;
like any poem, it must be inexhaustible and complete
with turns where we ask Now why did the poet do that?
You can't pray a lie, said Huckleberry Finn;
you can't poe one either. It is the same mirror:
mobile, glancing, we call it poetry,
fixed centrally, we call it a religion,
and God is the poetry caught in any religion,
caught, not imprisoned. Caught as in a mirror
that he attracted, being in the world as poetry
is in the poem, a law against its closure.
There'll always be religion around while there is poetry
or a lack of it. Both are given, and intermittent,
as the action of those birds - crested pigeon, rosella parrot -
who fly with wings shut, then beating, and again shut.

PS: I am not elevating poetry into some special status over science or religion or anything like that. I just think it is helpful to take pause to reflect on words and see what they mirror back at us.
