wish i had my damn camera with me [wife loaned to friend for weekend] dangit!
anyway we had Rob (copracer) w/ his two sons, Rich (Eracer) with girlfriend, Justin (not sure of handle) with wife ...and that lucky guy heading to the beach...forgot his name sorry.
the beach guy just stopped by to take some pics and then we were off.
it was very cool seeing three STi's in my rearview as we twisted and turned through the country roads.
the run was hampered by one little old lady in a Kia on one of the fun roads. wasn't a big deal as we had plenty to talk about as we pitted and let her get wherever the heck she was going. but as you now know that road is 12 miles of one of the best kept secrets of North Eastern PA.
and Rob had to depart early as one of his little tykes couldn't handle the back-and-forth for miles and miles. he looked dazed. hope his tummy settled down.
hope one of you with a camera emails me with pics...i'll host 'em on my server if you don't have the webspace.
pleaseure meeting all of you and putting the face to the names.

As far as the headline goes, I agree with Lahey's argument as well as her premise—that the outside world demands dialogue and discussion, and educators who coddle children and never require them to speak ultimately do the children a disservice.However, I take issue with many of the claims Lahey uses to support that overall argument.

The Persecution Complex of the Modern Introvert
February 11, 2013 by 9 Comments
According to some, extraverts have taken over our churches and our culture, marginalizing introverts in the process. But what if there is no grand conspiracy against introverts? Hello, my name is Jason Morehead and I'm an introvert.That means pretty much what you think it means. If left to my druthers, I will almost always choose solitude over social engagements. Extensive interactions can be very exhausting for me, even if I truly like and appreciate the people with whom I'm inter … [Read more...]

Normally airliners are flying at this altitude, but instead to enjoy the comfortable flight, you put on harnesses and oxygen equipment, open the door and jump out. In a tandem with one of the most experienced HALO jumpmasters of the world: a breathtaking experience, but also a unique challenge and fulfilment of humanity's dream of flying.
On Monday morning, then it goes off early: After adjustment of your personal equipment you start in the direction of the airport and you must be there at 6:30 am. There, the Beechcraft King Air and the rest of the team is still wating. This aircraft is particularly well suited to bring you in the required jump altitude. Before the take off, you and your jump master will suit fitted and you will receive the last instructions and training issues of the event of your lifetime.
And then there's your big moment: hooked to your instructor, you jump with your tandem master out of the plane and you will have a free-fall experience, which have so far seen only by a very few civilians. The free fall lasts approximately 2 minutes, and you will enjoy every second - the longest, most intense minutes of your life!
We are happy to offer you a tourist package to organize the complete trip to Memphis. Do not hesitate to contact us!

Summer tires
I run 245-40-20s in the summer. The tire brand was wanli, they are too loud but the price was good, any other brands that are quite running? ,looking for a comfort ride and quiet, not so much a performance tire. Becase they cost so much I wanna start saving now, don't want spring to get here and i need to come up with over $1000 on the spot.

Re: Summer tires
If you want a comfort ride get a tire with some rubber on it.. like a 245-55-17 .. the short side wall tires are not going to ride as well. period. You may like the looks better but the ride will not be the same. Cadillac paid a lot of engineers that are smarter than you and I a lot of money to figure out what would give the car the best combination of performance and ride. Any radical changes you make are not likely to improve things. Sorry if I sound like a cynic, but that's just the way it is.
Re: Summer tires
I agree , I run the factory rims with winter tires during the winter months and I agree it has the best ride with the factory rims....but.... during the summer I run larger rims and the ride is more taught but not intrusive just the road noise is a bit much with the brand I used last year.

79 seville injection problems
My injection isn't working. The car sat for 2 years and when I started it up, it flooded out. I could get it to run with nearly full throttle. I have disconnected the tank fuel pump and can get the car to idle. I changed the fuel pressure regulator and no luck. The dealer says the throttle indicator is bad, distributor endshaft sensor is bad and possibly the controller.
Were can I get parts/help.
Re: 79 seville injection problems
It would surprise me if all three of those components went bad after sitting for a couple of years. Does GM still stock the throttle position sensor? I thought they did. I would scrounge junkyards for the computer and distributor. It is very hard for me to imagine the distributor pickup going bad after sitting.
If you are not concerned about originality, or just want to drive your car while searching for FI parts, install a carburetor. You can replace the intake manifold with any small block Olds used or aftermarket part and use any 4 barrel carburetor.
I installed a new Edelbrock Quadrajet carb on my 455 powered Seville. I kept the in tank fuel pump, removed the high pressure pump (you could bypass it too), and installed a mechanical fuel pump to give me the correct pressure. It runs MUCH better than my car ran with the original Fuel Injection.
Good Luck

Re: 79 seville injection problems
It may just be stuck injectors, I found a local shop that would test, flow test, clean, calabrate and balance (as much as possable) injectors for $15.00 each.
AND they include new filters (In the injectors) and "O" rings too.
I had some problems, and had them done and ended up getting a few more out of a junk yard to retest and use.
A couple of the injectors were really flowing when we started.
Also get a presure test, or tester, should be rated for injection systems and handle at lease 100 pounds, the pressure regurator is on the front right side of the rail and a test port where you can hook up a presure tester next to it.
The main pump can out put up to 90 pounds, the regurater lowers it to about 35 pounds, if your reg is gone it might be getting run away presure that also could flood you. (Long shot..but YNK)

Re: 79 seville injection problems
i have an 79 Cadillac Seville and today i had the same problem..
The engine flooded out but i can get them to run with full or nearly full throttle..
How can i eliminate this Problem?
What is the Problem/Failure.. What i have to change that the car runs like before? Sorry my English is not so good, i hope you understand what i`m meaning :-)
There are 2wires on the injectors, i think 1 is for the Signal and the other one have to be the voltage, wright?
and the voltage wire is it positive or negative controlled??
cause on 1 wire i have an Signalvoltage and on the other wire no voltage so i thought maybe it is negative voltage controlled..?
When you have any informations for me please let me know!
Thanks all

It seems GM has a patent application [added 6/23/11, originally just said "patent"] for crowdsourcing data from the Volt to be use to improve it, especially the battery. As I noted earlier this month, the Nissan Leaf is already sharing data.

A new research project based at University College London (UCL) is giving communities the resources and support to monitor local environmental conditions. The data you gather will help create a clearer picture of air quality at the very local level.

Both dogs are hunted on grouse/woodcock/pheasants/ducks in Wisconsin. Caja also goes to South Dakota a few times a year to hunt pheasants and waterfowl. Both dogs have excellent temperaments. They are calm and mild-mannered in the house, but have a ton of drive in the field/water. Bear is a brother to our Bianca. Bianca is the second youngest NAVHDA UT Prize I dog (at 10 months of age) and the second youngest NAVHDA Versatile Champion (at 23 months of age). Bear shares many qualities with his sister and will be running in the NAVHDA UT this year.

OpenGL ES one day workshops in North London
• Tags:
Get Hands-on with Mobile Graphics! "An Introduction to Mobile Graphics" are one day workshops offered by Imagination Technologies in North London. At Universities, graphics technologies are generally taught as part of game development or the computer science curriculum, and are based on standard console or PC graphics. Since mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular, it is important that developers also understand the specific constraints of mobile devices where power-efficient rendering is a must. Imagination is partnering with Darren McKie (games and graphics programme leader at the University of Hull) to organize a workshop designed to introduce real-time rendering using OpenGL ES on mobile devices to students who have little or no prior experience with 3D graphics programming.

Hello, my name is Alexandra Nau and I am a current junior here at the University of Delaware. I am a Human Services major with minors in Psychology and Spanish. This semester I had the extreme privilege to travel along with another Hillel student, Samantha Rosenberg, to Israel in order to attend the General Assembly for the Jewish Federations of North America. In a week and a half, we were able to experience the culture of our Judaism, network with people throughout the world, and become truly inspired by everything we were a part of. As the newly elected President of Hillel Student Life, I am completely energized and ready to implement many of the things I learned from the trip into our current campus culture.
With the help of much generous sponsorship from Hillel, the Jewish Federation as well as my local synagogue in my hometown, this trip of a lifetime became possible. Samantha and I traveled as the student representatives for our local Delaware Federation, with about 25 other adult Federation representatives. While we were a little apprehensive about how the adults would interact with us, we were extremely grateful that they welcomed our pair into their group with open arms. By the end of the trip, we felt as if we had gained an entire family that we continue to grow with after our return to the United States. As a current college student, this is something I am so appreciative of. I feel as if I now have a local community I can connect and return to even after I graduate.
The trip culminated at the end of the week, with the 3-day international General Assembly conference. We were able to hear speakers like Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, and attend breakout sessions on topics like disability inclusion in the Jewish community, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as Young Emerging Leadership. Our opportunities to meet other people and network ares also something we are so lucky to have completed. Every time we experienced something new, I kept pinching myself to make sure it was really happening!I cannot even begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for everyone who helped me travel to the land of milk and honey. To have people believe in you, with confidence that you will represent their organizations in another country is the ultimate form of flattery and respect. Hillel continues to open my eyes, expand my knowledge, and give me opportunities to travel and experience culture. This trip is something I will be able to take with me in my future endeavors for years to come, while igniting my passion for the Jewish community. With so many changes going on in the upcoming years as I figure out my life as a professional, I know with confidence Hillel has prepared me more ways than I can count. How many college juniors can say that?

Everybody's favorite basketball-player-turned-actor is back.
Former Michigan State forward Delvon Roe, who began his acting career after he retired from basketball citing chronic knee pain, is making his feature-film debut in the romantic drama Love and Honor, which premieres Thursday at the Cannes Film Market, according to MLive.com.
More from the website:
Roe spent last summer on location in Ann Arbor filming scenes from the movie, which was formerly entitled AWOL. Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) stars in the Vietnam War-era film about a soldier who secretly returns home from war to win back his girlfriend. Roe, who is 6-8, plays the role of Isaac.
Lightning Entertainment announced last week it had acquired the international sales rights to Love and Honor and would introduce it to buyers in Cannes.
"The film's setting and poignant storyline is an outstanding vehicle for this gifted cast, a truly talented ensemble of young actors right on the cusp of stardom," Lightning Entertainment President Robert Beaumont said in a statement.
Roe graduated from Michigan State this month after majoring in theater. Awesome for him to be making his feature-film debut so soon.

Hi Everyone,
My wife and I are heading to Montreal for a little R&R and I was wondering what your suggestions are for Montreal? Restaurants, Sites, Etc. Lets have them.
ChefTalk.com Founder
ChefTalk.com Founder
Here's a thread from the "repertoire" for you -- in the 2nd post, a local chef recommends restaurants in Montreal:
Hope this helps!
Nicko, So glad to hear your coming to Montreal. Will you be staying downdown ?
so many places to pick.....
Here are a few that are my favorites.
"Express" French Bistro
3927 St. Denis Montreal
Just about everything on the menu is great. I eat there alot and just love the food. It is not a fancy place put the food is just great.
Another little jewel...my fav.
Chez Levesque
1030 Avenue Laurier
The owner is a great man and knows his food. He has Chefs from Paris working for him and owns a home in France. The food is out of this world. Classic French dining from a-z.
What do I suggest...........everything. Their steak tartar is out of this world. He makes everything according to season so the menu is always changing. Should you decide to go there let me know ahead of time.
If you are there, check out the new Gordon Ramsey Restaurant " Rotisserie Laurier" ( 381 Laurier Avenue, corner Hutchinson) it just opened not that long ago. He had it made over and revamped the old menu and put a great spin on the menu. My girlfriend Kim spoke with him and had many good laughs with him when he opened up. The restaurant had its start over 75 plus years ago. Go for the chicken , you won't be disappointed.
Now if you are downtown you must go to:
Queue de Cheval – 1221 BLVD Rene Levesque O. 514-390-0090
A team of professionals that will make your meal a delight. They have a great wine list if your into fine wines.
Peter Morentzos, the owner is quite something, he has alot of know how and takes great care of his customers and staff. There is just so much to say about the place but if you go you will not be disappointed. (hope not)
You can order any of the diverse tartars on the menu, they are all great.
The aliki salad...a fav.
Like caviar ? Try the Petrossian.
The wine list is out of this world.......and the desserts ? All are on the mark.
Book ahead if you can, its a great rest. Near everything downtown. A place to top your trip off.
40 Westt Steakhouse another fav.
2305 Transcanadadienne (corner Delmar)
West Island, Pointe Claire

Au pied du Cochon: http://www.restaurantaupieddecochon.ca/ I know you have heard of Martin Picard.....
536 Duluth E. 281-1114
Well, its a fois gras experience............Poutine fois gras.....yes, just go there for that ! Mind you there are so many things on the menu it can make your head swirl. The maple products incorporated in the menu is something.
Try the Mousse de foie de pintatade, duck confit ( as its been discussed on CT is wonderful) Pied du Cochon beer: a very good beer. The dessert list....well the tarte au sucre or poire pochee and ice cream is something else.
Steak Frites another fav. In the old Port of Montreal 200 Boul. St. Laurent and St. Paul. Cobble stone roads and horse rides....very romantic.
Have a martini at Brandy's (opposite side of the street) and then check out the art galleries along St. Paul. You will find the Imax has some shows playing all the time. Vendors of all sorts are there to sell or entertain. It is one of my favorite places to be in the summer. And don't forget to have a beaver tail while you are there.
Its vibrant and alive at night......a romantic get away. Need I say "High Tea " at Hotel St. James ? Two streets over.
Things to do? Check out the Montreal Botanical Gardens.
If you like Bonzai trees, this will take your breath away. There are so many unique gardens there with thousands of plants....
"The lookout" : just ask where the lookout out is and go there at night, maybe after a nice meal in China town and share a kiss. One of the most romantic spots in Montreal.
Oh there are some very expensive places you could go to.....but try some things that Montreal is known for.
St Viateur Bagel: http://stviateurbagel.com/main/
Smoke meat Deli " Schwartz" : http://schwartzsdeli.com/index2.html and while your there in that area check out the Spanish Library for all great products of Spanish foods. Walk a little further and you will see a store selling all types of goodies.........all these stores are lined up.
I have many other spots..........I do not know when you are going but will gladly continue my list for the next couple of days.
Glad your coming to Montreal...........:)
(forgive the spelling mistakes....just saw your post)
Yes, in fact there are sugar shacks all over , mainly off the Island of Montreal . Everything is 15 minutes give or take from downtown. Hemmingford and Huntington and those surrounding areas have great sugar shacks where you can meet folks like Mr. Brown and his wife who will give you tours of their place and offer you a scoop of syrup right out of the boil.
Easy going but very hard working people devoted to great quality syrup, they pride themselves on it....along will all the maple breakfast buffets to go with it.
But if you head towards Quebec City, ....well, the sugar shacks and wineries, cheese making establishments are just terrific.
There is a Market known as" The jean Talon Market" , there you will see all the farmers bringing the best of their farms to be sold. Vibrant , beautiful colors of vegetables, fruits and flowers. You will see some great chocolate makers , sausage stores, lavender (fresh, with all the lavender scents and gift ideas) , coffee tables and croissants and fresh corn on the cob, served fresh to eat.
The rush of the early morning market is just something else.....it comes alive , the people, the aroma, the passion of Montreal .....
Across the street is the beginning of Little Italy . A 15 minute drive will bring you to the Greek village where you can taste a bite from "Afroditi Bakery" (756 Saint Roch 514-274-5302) where you can indulge in the finest sweets in Greek cooking. The bakery is breathtaking inside, you can sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee and a sweet.
Then there is "Toque" http://www.restaurant-toque.com/ another little jewel.
I have not even hit Sherbrooke yet..............Oh MY ! lol ....I could go on....
After eating at some of the top restaurants in the world , I could never off you a restaurant that could meet the same expectations but there a some little jewels around Montreal that have great tasting food and they are worth a try.
A few more little spots you may want to try;
Milo's Restaurant - 5357 Avenue du Parc (Park Avenue) 514-272-3522 Lunch Mon-Friday but not on weekends.
You will enjoy their grilled octopus and the sea bass , there are so many good choices on the menu.
The owner will be glad to meet with you and set up a nice dinner for you and your wife, just let me know your dates.
Da Vinci – 1180 Bishop (if your center downtown) 514-874-2001

Pho Lien – 5703 Cote des Neiges 514-735-6949
For a great bowl of Pho
Sirene de la Mer – 114 Jean Talon , Mont Royal 514-345-0345
This is a very nice restaurant. They have the freshest fish and seafood in a section right off the restaurant. The waiter will bring you to the "fish bar" and you pick out exactly what you would like to eat, then you tell the chef who is there how you would like it cooked and then head back to your seat.
There are endless apps to choose from.; a huge assortement of salads, squid, oysters, fresh fruit ….endless . If there is something special you would like , just ask them to call the chef to the table and he will do whatever you fancy.
Birks Cafe - 1240 Phillips Square 514-397-2468
If you go here you must have the Brunch or if later in the day....tea. Jerome Ferrer will speak with you if you advise the waiter. Wonderful food.

More things to see:
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts – 1380 Sherbrooke W. 514-285-2000
I believe the Jean Paul Gaultier showing is still on.
Then there is the Biodome
Then my favorite which is close to my heart:
The Lachine fur Trade Museum . Before the gov't decided to convert into this museum, it used to be the house where my father and his family lived. Its all made of stone....in the back of it there is the Lachine waterway (still there but they redesigned it for boating and tourism)
If you go in that area , "Lachine" , there are some pretty good French Bistro's and cafe's .

It is a quiet Christmas for me this year so I decided to lay out everything I have for my ESB, look at it, enjoy it, photograph, and re-inventory it. At first I thought it was a lot of stuff, but once I got it all out I realized I still have a long way to go. See if you can recognize some of my prized items mixed into the pictures. I wish I had more time and money to get back to work on it, hopefully the new year will allow me more time.
I wish everyone at TDH a happy and healthy holiday.

Sullivan's Steakhouse
300 Colorado St
Austin, TX 78701
- Mario Loyola, Director, Center for Tenth Amendment Studies, Texas Public Policy Foundation
Mario will focus on how the major federal-state programs impact state governments, specifically how the Affordable Care Act and EPA regulations affect the functioning of state government. Mario will argue that the major "cooperative federalism" programs (conditional federal grants such as Medicaid under Obamacare and conditional regulation such as EPA regulations) allow the federal government to subvert states as administrative agencies of the federal government, in violation of the anti-commandeering principle of Printz v. U.S. (1997).
The Supreme Court seems to be moving toward an appreciation that conditional federal assistance often allows Congress to commandeer the states as effectively as if it had commanded them directly. In NFIB v Sebelius (2012) the Court ruled that the continued flow of preexisting federal Medicaid funds can't be conditioned on the states' expanding their Medicaid programs under Obamacare. But even under that ruling, states that refuse to expand their Medicaid programs will still be subsidizing the Medicaid expansion of other states. That's more protection for the states than the Supreme Court gave us in South Dakota v. Dole 25 years earlier, but it's still commandeering. There are 600 such sources of federal funds in the state budget, amounting to 30% of the budget, each of them with manifold conditions attached. Medicaid is only the largest and most prominent example of what amounts to slow federal takeover of state governmental functions.
Just as fraught as the intermingling of federal and state finances is the intermingling of federal and state regulatory activities. The problem here arises when the federal government gives states "permission" to implement federal rules as long as they meet a myriad of conditions. See, Hodel v. Va. Surface Mining & Reclamation Assn. (1981) and FERC v. Mississippi (1982). If a state fails to meet any of the conditions, the federal government preempts the field and implements the rules itself. The insurance exchanges under Obamacare are one example; another is TCEQ's administration of various Clean Air Act permits pursuant to State Implementation Plans. This supposed "encouragement" works by presenting states with a choice between two unpalatable alternatives: do the federal government's bidding or lose control of an area of regulation to the feds. This practice also comes quite close to violating the Supreme Court's anti-commandeering rules, but it was specifically affirmed in both New York v. U.S. (1992) and Printz.
As seen in the most recent Texas Legislature, these federal practices cause major problems for state legislators and state officials as they seek to do their constituents bidding. A better understanding of the problems involved will help federalism jurists understand the laws, regulations, and cases in this important area of the law.

"The first time I went out, I forgot all about condoms," remembers 22-year-old Kimberly. She'd grown up on Long Island with her mother and stepfather and began fending for herself at the age of 15. She started prostituting before even finishing high school. "I didn't want to take any chances," she says of those early years, "but I had a pimp and I knew he wanted his money."
Thousands of New York City teens find themselves in Kimberly's situation, thrown into sex work by circumstance, without the power to protect themselves. An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 adolescents are homeless in this city, and, according to a 1996 study by epidemiologist Michael Clatts, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 40 percent of them sell or exchange sex to survive. Kimberly joined their ranks in 1991 after becoming addicted to cocaine and losing the support of her family. When she first began sex work, making enough to satisfy her drug habit and her pimp and still pay for a hotel room made safer sex seem like an impossibility.
"You start by making rules for yourself," says Kimberly, who has left drugs and prostitution and continues to test negative. "But if you're out there and you're not getting the money you want, you can start giving in." Especially when some customers are willing to pay more for "raw sex," sex without condoms. For cash-strapped young people, that can be a powerful incentive. And safer-sex negotiations become even harder in the underground economy of sex work. Frequent police sweeps cut down on the time prostitutes can spend establishing boundaries with a client. Women dressed to work are sometimes arrested simply for being in the vicinity of a stroll, a pick-up area for prostitution. "You want to get off the street as quickly as possible," Kimberly says. "I learned how to stay out less time and still do more tricks. And, of course, I took more risks."
Raising the stakes even further is widespread drug use at all levels of the sex industry. "Your decision-making is impaired," says Matt Bernstein Sycamore, a 24-year-old gay man who has been working in the more exclusive -- and better paid -- escort field. "You may not be interested in the guy, but you get more interested when you're high. And clients are conscious that they can use drugs to get whores to do things they wouldn't otherwise do." Over a third of the homeless youth Clatts interviewed in his 1996 study, "Youth at Risk," used drugs, primarily cocaine. Interestingly, young women who work in a more formal commercial sex structure may be somewhat protected, forbidden by their pimps to do hard drugs -- since it decreases their marketability.
Neal Hoffman, MD, is the medical director of the Adolescent AIDS Program, a 10-year-old project at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx that provides primary care for adolescents with HIV and outreach to those who are most at risk. Much of the population he serves is involved in some form of sex work, which he describes as a continuum between organized prostitution, on the one hand, and "survival sex," on the other. "We see kids who come into the city from all over," he says. "They may even be middle-class kids, but, for whatever reason, they leave their homes, they're sleeping on friends' living room floors, and in order to go home with someone they'll sleep with them. They do it out of desperation, it's not thought out -- and those are some of the most risky situations." He says kids with "gender atypical behavior" are often the first to get kicked out by their parents, and then, looking for a meal and a place to stay, "they quickly learn they're a commodity." These youth, functioning outside of an organized sex-work structure, may have very little ability to assess risk.
This desperation, Hoffman says, often springs from violence at home. "At least a half to a third of the prostitutes we see at our program talk about childhood sexual abuse," he says. "You have to wonder how that contributes to risk behavior in the teenage years." Certainly some sex workers attribute their entry into prostitution, at least in part, to this kind of sexual history. "If someone violates you and gets away with it, you feel like what you have to lose by prostituting is already gone," says Kimberly, who was molested as a child. "You learn to distance yourself, to look down at what is happening to you. It's what you have to do when you're pulling tricks." Prostitution allowed Kimberly to enter an alternative family structure, which offered her a more respected role. Such "family" positions shape HIV prevention among more organized sex workers.
The "bottom bitch," Kimberly says, is usually the oldest and most trusted of the women in a pimp's family. She manages operations on the stroll and oversees the use of condoms. "There are rules and everybody follows them," says Kimberly, who used her position as the "bottom" to convince her pimp to follow a condom-only policy with tricks. "I only gave him fifty dollars once because I didn't have a condom, and I didn't want to do what the guy wanted me to do. After that he made safe sex a rule."
Pimps realize they too are vulnerable, since they have sexual relationships with almost all of their workers. Shelley is a 19-year-old woman with legs and a wardrobe that rival RuPaul's. "I learned about safe sex out here, from my man," says Shelley, who walks a stroll in a working-class neighborhood in Queens. "He told me to use a condom no matter how much they offer me -- because I'm screwing him and he doesn't want to get sick."
The need to maintain control in their often dangerous relationships with tricks only seems to strengthen the desire of sex workers to lower physical and emotional barriers in their personal lives. Not using condoms with your pimp demonstrates that you trust both him and the system he represents. "Sometimes you think it's the only way you can show affection," Kimberly explains, "by taking a risk."
Fifteen-year-old Precious works in the meatpacking district, a transgender stroll on Manhattan's far West Side. "The tricks tell me how much they care for me, how much they need me. I've heard it all," she says, pulling out a large pack of rubbers, "but I use condoms for everything." Still, many transgender sex workers make exceptions for their pimps. Transgender prostitutes often deal with tricks who are so ambivalent about their own sexual identity that they lash out more violently -- and are perhaps less open to safer sex -- than other clients. Rosalyne Blumenstein of the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center's Gender Identity Project, which serves the city's transgender community, says, "It's scary out there on the street. This [pimp relationship] is nurturing. No matter how dysfunctional it is, they might not be getting it from any other place."
Young male hustlers usually drift into prostitution more casually than their female counterparts, adopting an informal relationship to the work. "Things just happen," says 19-year-old Danny, who has been working Times Square since he was 14. "Someone asks you to hang out, gives you some smoke or some beer, then asks you what you would do for what amount." Many young men don't even see what they do with their male tricks as sex, let alone gay sex. "I don't have sex with guys," insists Danny. "If they want to suck me off, or just hug or smooch or something, that's OK."
Ironically, their refusal to identify as gay or bisexual protects many young male sex workers from getting infected. "We don't do it for the pleasure," explains Fernando, a 19-year-old from Harlem who works Times Square. "We do it for the money, so it's better to do it safe." And the sexual activities that pose the least threat to their heterosexuality happen to be those that carry a lower risk of HIV infection, namely, getting sucked or fucking someone else. "If they want me to get fucked, I tell them 'Sorry,'" Danny says. "That's my manhood, my pride and joy. I never want that taken away."
Many of these males do sex work on a part-time basis, going out a few nights a week for extra income. "Our jobs really don't pay," says 19-year-old Alex, Fernando's cousin, who works by day in a midtown shopping arcade. "It's enough for yourself, but not enough to go out and chill with your girl." If they don't depend on sex work for survival, it puts them in a better bargaining position with the tricks. "You gotta let them know what's the deal," Fernando says, "tell them what you will or won't do. They've picked up a lot of men before you, and you don't know if they did it safe."
Of course, their girlfriends don't know whether their hustler boyfriends do it safe, either, but putting female partners at risk doesn't seem to be a major concern. "We used condoms the first few times," says Alex of his relationship with his 20-year-old girlfriend. "But then I got to know her better." Nor does Fernando use condoms with his 18-year-old girlfriend. "I know she's not going to do nothing," he says.
This "me-first" approach is also reflected in the attitudes many male sex workers have toward their tricks -- attitudes that may make them vectors for infection. "Christian" is a gay-identified 21-year-old who worked as a "girl" until the recent closing of Sally's Hideaway (Times Square's only drag club) forced him to go back to hustling as a boy. "When they suck me, I don't care if they use a condom," he says, "because I know I don't have anything. But when I suck them I always use one."
Matt Bernstein Sycamore, the escort, started doing sex work in San Francisco at age 19. He says he has observed a one-sided approach to prevention among many gay and bisexual male prostitutes over the years, which he attributes in part to gay self-hatred. "Gay men don't feel responsible for each other's health," he says. "The message is, 'Keep yourself safe.'" Sycamore says that the outcome- -- exposing partners to risk -- is common even when sex workers have intimate relationships with each other. "In my personal life, I was having unsafe sex with a person who I thought cared about me," remembers Kimberly, "but he was a prostitute too, with gay men. I didn't put it together that I could get something from him. He cared about me and didn't look at me as a hooker. I felt I didn't have to use a condom because that felt so good."
According to Tracy Brown, planning and resources coordinator at the Empire State Coalition of Youth and Family Services, there are over half a dozen groups providing HIV prevention outreach and a range of services to street youth and young sex workers in New York City. Young people who are reached by such programs are "significantly more likely" to change their HIV risk behaviors, says epidemiologist Clatts. One of the more established programs, Victim Services' Street Work Project, located a quick walk north from Manhattan's West Side piers, might reach up to 300 different kids a week. Yet, according to Clatts' "Youth at Risk" study, only one out of five homeless youth have any contact with street outreach programs in a given year. For sex workers, finding ways to protect themselves both at work and in private is a challenge many still have to face alone.
Kimberly, whose feelings about sex work are entangled with those about her past relationships and drug use, chose to leave the profession entirely. Today she waitresses and lives in the Bronx with a "square," with whom she has an 18-month-old son. She's been clean for nearly two years and hasn't prostituted for three. One way she confronts her past is by doing peer outreach to adolescents at risk through midtown's New York Peer AIDS Education Coalition, one of several organizations in the city that use former and current sex workers to distribute condoms and safer-sex information to other youth at risk. But memories of the chances she took linger on. "Even today," she says, "I go for an AIDS test, get the needle stuck in my arm, and the face of every trick flashes before my eyes."
Sycamore is looking for a healthy way to continue doing commercial sex. He has been reflecting on his experiences as a prostitute by editing a forthcoming book, Tricks and Treats, in which male, female and transgender sex workers speak out about their clients. He's given up recreational drugs, one of the largest risk factors for male sex workers. And he has redoubled his efforts to come up with a work ethic that protects his clients, his lovers and himself. "I won't do anything that's unsafe for them," he says. "I know that they can find someone else to do it, but I don't want to be that person."

I was reading a thread about gun confiscation during a natural disaster, and it really got me thinking.
Suppose that day comes that we all fear.. when you have armed representatives of any the US govt in your front yard demanding your firearms, would you give them?
Further suppose that you were in the middle of a Katrina-equivalent event, having witnessed looting and numerous violent crimes within line of sight of your home.
I know there are federal laws in place now to prevent this, but we all know that it only takes on person to miss the memo and besides, no one is going to stop to debate legislature in the middle of a crisis zone.
I find it hard to believe that I wouldn't comply with the demands of a squad of the National guard's finest, but at the same time, isn't that what the second amendment is all about?

We are only as vulnerable as we are naive.
Nope, they woud be gone long before "they" come for them and I would probably be gone too.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I'd give them one or two (that I didn't care too much about anyway) and say I sold the rest years ago. They couldn't prove otherwise, and they sure won't be finding my hiding spots. I'm in a pretty rural, heavily forested area.
Why? Because the Second Amendment does not have a provision for "times of emergency".

Even facing instant arrest? Picture it, you've got four National Guardsmen with m-4's and an officer knocking on your front door demanding any firearms you have in the house... if you offer any form of violent resistance you could be shot on the spot.
Obviously you wouldn't surrender any they didnt already know about, but your currently trying to keep looters from trashing your house. You've probably got your AR15 or Rem 870 slung over your shoulder and your pistol of choice holstered on your leg/back/whatever. They can see you have firearms and they have been ordered to take them... What would you do?
Remember, this is a Katrina-like setting. Martial law. Looters, rapists, murderers everywhere. You for whatever reason are not able/willing to leave, so you have to stay and defend the castle.
We are only as vulnerable as we are naive.
This is a great thread...it really provokes thought and planning. I'm also interested to see everyone's response...I guess it really causes you to plan ahead and have some good secure hiding spots on your property.
Condition 1
"My weapon has never hurt anyone. It never will. If someone dies by my hand, it is my fault. The weapon is blameless." - Mikhail Kalashnikov
I'd attempt to relocate forthwith.
I'm as much in love with my house as I am my freedom and civil liberties. I'm out until the dust settles.
If I could go nowhere, lock down, then I have a $60 bb gun to throw that dog a bone...assuming I answer the door.
Beat it, scram.

"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. " - Robert A. Levy
"A license to carry a concealed weapon does not make you a free-lance policeman." - Florida Div. of Licensing
No! Nothing says I have to answer the door. If I saw people coming down my drive, I would be non available. If they kicked in my door they would have to take the consequenses. I never open the door for strangers, they can beat on it all they want.
I can honestly say no. Me and my guns are inseparable. I wouldn't even consider handing over an 'appeasement or offering' to make them go away. Nobody will get any of my guns while I am alive. Anyone who would shoot to kill me out of my rights or property should be willing to accept the consequences. I'll stand my ground until the very end on principles alone. If 'they' realize this, they'll go on to the next house...if not, I guess I'd be found guilty of suicide by the powers that be. My only hope lays with God and not with man. I'll go if I must, for that would be my time.Katrina: Would you surrender your guns?
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
The article mentions that LE entered the houses looking for people and guns. If you don't answer the door, its no guarantee they just move on to the next house. Man this is tough....
I would like to think that a violation of my rights during a temporary disaster like Katrina would be worth enduring to live to tell about it and maybe get reparations in a court of law afterwords. But even the law can be ignored or bypassed as we have seen.
I cant find it now but part of what sparked this was This Video and a news story recounting the story of a family that was stopped by police as they were driving thru New Orleans. The police asked if they had any guns and they stupidly said yes, locked in a case on the cargo rack with the rest of our valuables (they were fleeing the city).
The PD/national guardsmen then proceeded to take the guns and smash them into oblivion on the nearby curb. When asked if they would be reimbursed the soldiers refused to comment and forced the family to leave the area.
We are only as vulnerable as we are naive.
And people assume that soldiers/govt. agents would not follow command that goes against the Constitution, against our own citizens.
Uh huh, right.
- Janq
"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. " - Robert A. Levy
"A license to carry a concealed weapon does not make you a free-lance policeman." - Florida Div. of Licensing
The short answer is "No".
The long answer is - I have an inherent / natural / God-given (depending on how you think about these things) right to self-defense, and the gun is easily the most effective tool I have to exercise that right. Were I to give up my gun, I would not be surrendering my right to defend myself, but I would most certainly be making it darned near impossible to actually do so against anyone other than someone who isn't really a threat to me in the first place.
Does it really matter what kind of clothes the "four guys" are wearing or who they work for when they come to your door with their guns, demanding you give over yours of "face the consequences"? Assuming I am your run-of-the-mill law-abiding citizen, there is no justification for anyone to take anything from me by force (or the threat of it), and I will resist the attempt to do so. See my sig line for a more eloquent version of this post...
"It is only as retaliation that force may be used and only against the man who starts its use. No, I do not share his evil or sink to his concept of morality: I merely grant him his choice, destruction, the only destruction he had a right to choose: his own." - John Galt, from Atlas Shrugged

Today my mom and dad took my brother and I for a ride. We just drove around for a while and got some fresh air. I got to sit on mom's lap and hang my head out the window. I just love the way the wind feel's on my face. My brother Smokey does'nt like to hang his head out the window, I don't understand him sometimes. He likes to sit on the middle console and look out the front window for dog's or cat's. He is a silly dog.
When we got home I crashed out on my big pillow bed and slept for a couple hours. When you get to be this age you poop out quickly! It does'nt take much for me to get tired anymore, I used to go all day long without a nap, but now I need a few naps a day.

Bernie Sanders Calls for Labeling Genetically Engineered Food
19 June 12
en. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today proposed an amendment to the farm bill that would let states require that any food or beverage containing genetically engineered ingredients be clearly labeled.
The Vermont Legislature earlier this year considered a bill that would have required labels on foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients. The House Agriculture Committee heard testimony from 111 citizens and hundreds more crowded the Statehouse to show their support. Despite passing by a lopsided 9-1 vote in committee, the bill languished after Monsanto threatened to sue the state.
Similar strong-arm tactics by one of the world's leading producers of genetically engineered foods and herbicides have been employed elsewhere by Monsanto, the multi-national company that posted $1.6 billion in profits last year. "It's no mystery why Monsanto would fight people's right to know," Sanders said "Business is booming for the chemical company. Clearly, they have a lot to protect."
The Sanders Amendment, cosponsored by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), acknowledges that states have the authority to require the labeling of foods produced through genetic engineering or derived from organisms that have been genetically engineered.
The measure also would require the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to report to Congress within two years on the percentage of food and beverages in the United States that contain genetically engineered ingredients.
"All over this country, people are becoming more conscious about the foods they are eating and the foods they are serving to their kids, and this is certainly true for genetically engineered foods," Sanders said. "I believe that when a mother goes to the store and purchases food for her child, she has the right to know what she is feeding her child."
In the United States, Sanders said, food labels already must list more than 3,000 ingredients ranging from gluten, aspartame, high-fructose corn syrup, trans-fats or MSG, but not genetically altered ingredients. Around the world, by contrast, 49 countries require labels on foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients.
In the 1990s, there was consensus among scientists and doctors at the FDA that genetically-altered foods could have new and different risks such as hidden allergens, increased plant-toxin levels and the potential to hasten the spread of antibiotic-resistant disease. Those concerns are mounting. In just three days, the American Medical Association will consider resolutions calling for new studies on the impact of genetically-altered foods. The American Public Health Association and the American Nurses Association already passed similar resolutions.
Sanders stressed that labeling genetically-altered foods will not increase costs to shoppers. He also disputed claims that genetically engineered crops are better for the environment. Instead, he said, the use of Monsanto Roundup-ready soybeans engineered to withstand exposure to the herbicide Roundup has caused the spread of Roundup-resistant weeds, which now infest 10 million acres in 22 states with predictions of 40 million acres or more by mid-decade. Resistant weeds increase the use of herbicides and the use of older and more toxic herbicides.
The Sanders Amendment is about allowing states to honor the wishes of their residents and allowing consumers' to know what they're eating. "Monsanto and other major corporations should not get to decide this, the people and their elected representatives should," Sanders said.

Go Bernie Go!!
Thank you Bernie, for introducing this amendment. anyone who votes against it is going to look pretty bad to his constituents, saying they don't have a right to know what they're eating.
It should be an election year issue point, and again hopefully, once the tipping point is reached and the public becomes fully educated about GM foods and Monsanto's part in it all, the new media will take over, things will go viral, and States like Vermont won't have to worry about corporations interfering with the will of the people.
people cannot act intelligently if they cannot tell what they are buying.
the technology of genetic engineering is and will be important, but there are some things that just because we CAN do them does not mean we SHOULD do them, and most GMOs fall in this category to me.
Plus Monsanto has shown bad faith if not crminality in lying to the farmers in Indian and ruining their farms and causing them to commit suicide - that does not show responsibility with this new technology - or a regard for their customers or anyone else. Why should they get special treatment in the marketplace to protect their profits?
label all GMOs.
What Conservative value is there being protected in fighting Consumers knowing what they are consuming?
Greedy Capitalism is killing the world.
As much as I revere Sen Sanders, and I do, to not DEMAND that COMPANIES label gmo via a federal rule, law, mandate, whatever clever crapola, lying administrative tool they want to use, is such a typical, soft boiled egg sell job, when real beef is what is necessary, it just illicits my dismay and disgust this continued pussy footing to corportions.
I want double and triple blind decades proven studies on gmo's, of which there are NONE, not some shout into the black hole of states rights where most of the legislatures are already lost to non science thinking.
Maybe writing directly to food providers and threatening boycotts is an answer? This may be a bottom up issue rather than a top down one. Food and its production is a matter of national security. When the diversity of any element in the chain of that production somes to be dominated by a single industrial giant the whole country is at risk. Pass that position around. Food, water, communications, health care are all matters of National Security and the more completely that debate is framed in that manner the clearer it will become to more of the American Public.

Host Blairsville bounced back from its first loss of the season and inched closer to securing the conference title by besting Penns Manor, 8-4, in a Heritage Conference softball game Thursday.
The Bobcats (13-1), who fell to Marion Center, 7-0, on Wednesday, set up a winner-take-all showdown with second-place Ligonier Valley on Tuesday in Blairsville.
The Bobcats trailed 4-1 before plating seven runs on three hits, two walks and three errors in the bottom of the sixth inning to take an 8-4 lead.
Blairsville ace Emilie Okopal, who walked a season-high seven batters against Marion Center on Wednesday, fired a one-hitter. She struck out nine.
"She came back strong," Blairsville coach Frank Harsh said. "She knew she had a bad game yesterday so she came out today and threw a lot more strikes and eliminated the walks. It was critical for her to respond like that, especially with Ligonier (Valley) coming up on Tuesday."
Mackenzie Livingston singled and doubled to lead Blairsville. Abby Peace added a pair of singles.
Emily Stupic notched Penns Manor's lone hit, a double.
Megan McCunn struck out four, walked two and allowed eight hits in a complete-game losing effort.
Penns Manor plays host to Homer-Center on Tuesday.
MARION CENTER 13, PURCHASE LINE 1: Marion Center racked up 13 hits and provided ace Megan Risinger with more than enough run support to thump host Purchase Line in a Heritage Conference game.
Risinger, who fired a three-hitter in Wednesday's win over Blairsville, tossed a two-hitter, striking out 13 and walking none. Risinger notched her 13th complete-game win of the year and her 16th complete game. She also singled three times and tripled.
"Her control is what does it," Marion Center coach Ed Peterson said. "She's so conditioned from throwing at least 100 pitches a day. She's in the gym in the preseason in January and February, and when you put that glove up, she hits it every time."
Kimmi Donaldson singled twice and drove in three runs for Marion Center. Heidi Peterson, Katie Dotts and Amber McClure each drove in two runs.
Marion Center (13-3) travels to United on Monday. Purchase Line concluded its season.
HOMER-CENTER 18, UNITED 3: Homer-Center outhit United 12-4 and smacked a pair of homers to score an easy win in a Heritage Conference game rule at Floodway Park.
Homer-Center led 9-3 before plating nine runs on five hits, two walks, two errors and a hit batsman in the bottom of the fourth inning to enforce the mercy rule.
Allison Kishlock singled and cracked a three-run inside-the-park homer for Homer-Center. Julia Buggey hit a two-run shot, and Abby Plowcha singled three times.
Plowcha tossed a four-hitter, striking out two and walking two.
Leah Magalich struck out four and walked six in a complete-game losing effort.
Both teams play Monday. Homer-Center (5-11) travels to Penns Manor and United plays host to Marion Center.

Foundation Uneven, old home
I have an old home in Bisbee, AZ (Built 1916). The foundation is Post and Piller on the side of a mountain. Over the years, additions have been made to the original home by previous homeowners and the flooring in some rooms has settled below the original foundation.
Can someone direct me to a website or tutorial that explains how to jack up the foundation to make it level? I have the general concept and it is very straight forward. But something that goes into a little more detail about tools, supplies, shims etc... that are needed would be good to have.
This is going to be a something that that's dealt with on a case by case basis.
There is no one ansewer fits all on this one.
Soil conditions, type of supports, local codes, type and size of floor joist, insect or fungus damage and about a dozen other things need to be concidered. May want to seek some local help on this one.
Your welcome to post some pictures and we can all guess what may work, but nothings going to replace being on site to see it.
Yeah, what Joe said. There are simply too many important variables to consider that will drastically affect what advice is given. Your best bet is to round up 3 local foundation experts with a lot of experience and have them come out and give you an on site estimate of what it will take to properly restore your foundation for the long term. Don't be afraid to ask questions, or ask them why they are choosing one method over another. Also, get all estimates in writing and check references. There are plenty of amazing craftsmen out there with integrity and more skill than they know what to do with, but sometimes you have to wade through a sea of hacks to get to them. Just be thorough and make sure that you are completely comfortable with your decision before you hire someone. A foundation repair on the side of a mountain isn't something to be taken lightly.
The danger of post and pier construction is that, if posts or piers start to fail, it can be very dangerous. In perimeter and slab foundations, the weight is distributed very evenly, so a partial failure or crack is an issue, but not an immediate safety problem. In post and pier homes, the weight is concentrated on the individual spots, so if something breaks, rots, or shifts, that area of the house may start to sag. In extreme cases, a house may even crack open as the weight shifts across the remaining posts and piers,if i were you i'd have a civil engineer look at it,and whatever you do don't try repairing it yourself,it's just too dangerous.
