Ridiculously talented little kids
Ridiculously talented kids are a double-edged sword: we marvel at their skills but we worry about the instant exposure that's now possible on YouTube with the click of a mouse. Here's some amazing kids from around the internet - see what you think about their instant global fame.
Reality television talent shows have a lot to answer for. Not only do they flood our screens with manipulative network pulp, but they are the broadcast equivalent of McDonalds: packaged up so that you can digest them quickly, immediately gratifying but offering nothing substantial in the long term.
Until you see something like this:
Angelina Jordan is eight years old and the winner of the current series of Norway's Got Talent. Here (below) is her original audition in which she appears to be directly channelling Billie Holiday; along with all the anguish and frustration that comes with being an African-American woman in the United States during the turbulent 1930s. Except that you have to remind yourself, Angelina is an eight-year-old kid from Norway.
It's bizarre, but beautiful. And just a little bit unsettling. Unsettling because she's so exquisitely raw and talented and you worry what will become of her now that the global media machine has her in its greedy claws.
Five minutes of fame or a rewarding lifelong career?
Along with promoting talent, television talent shows like The X Factor and Australia's Got Talent also promote the idea that everybody deserves their five minutes of fame. Further to that, they seem to be promoting the value that fame itself is a noble life-goal.
So what should you do if your talented child comes to you and says, "I want to be famous"?
After all, it's great for kids to set themselves a goal, but how can we separate out the notion of 'fame' from the notion of just working hard at a skill and achieving highly?
Kidspot's resident child psychologist, Dr Justin Coulson, strongly advocates having conversations with your children about their goals and ambitions.
Within the conversation about fame, he says, the central question should be: why?
"Ask your child, 'Why do you want to be famous?' If it's because they have something inside them that they want to use to connect with the world and make other people happy, then that's the right reason. But if it's purely about how affirmation from the outside world will make them feel, then research clearly tells us, that is a hollow and ultimately unsatisfying way to live."
In partnership with these talent shows, YouTube then spreads the instant fame across the globe like wildfire. And like wildfire, this sort of fast-burning, easily ignited fame very quickly burns itself out.
Where does this leave an eight year old who just 'wants to be a star'?
It's bad enough to be kicked to the kerb by the fame juggernaut when you're a young adult. But at eight? How will an eight year old process it when the world suddenly tires of her and moves onto the next YouTube sensation?
Justin says, "It's the context that is most important here."
"If their motivation is development and mastery of a skill or talent then every failure and setback becomes a learning experience. But if the goal is 'fame' or one million YouTube hits, then rejection can be very personal and devastating. It becomes, 'I'm not good enough'."
Ironically, YouTube was Angelina's entree into music. In an interview she talks about how she spent hours looking at music clips on YouTube and eventually came across some clips from The X Factor. She asked her mother if she could audition. Her mother (to her credit) said she was too young. So Angelina set her sights on Norway's Got Talent, where age is unrestricted.
As a result of TV talent shows, the internet is now overrun with clips of insanely talented kids.
Most of the 'singing sensations' favour overwrought tunes by big-voiced mainstream pop divas like Whitney Houston or Beyonce. These sorts of kids, while talented, seem to be merely mimicking an adult performance, (albeit, to perfection).
Case in point, this beautiful little Ukrainian girl singing Beyonce's signature tune from Dreamgirls. Essentially a song about a woman who has been psychologically and sexually repressed by her domineering husband. Age appropriate content? I'm not so sure.
Should these kids be celebrated and pushed onto the global stage so early when they don't even know what they're singing about yet? Or should their parents hold them back until they are old enough to deal with the consequences of a sudden but ultimately unsustainable rush of worldwide attention?
How do you parent a ridiculously talented kid?
Justin says we should ultimately encourage goal-setting and ambition in our children but again, he stresses the importance of having the conversation to make sure they are pursuing their goals for the right reasons.
Once your talented child is on the path towards developing and honing that skill, he says parents should, "Be guided by (the child's) curiosity and their desire to develop. Rather than pushing them, let them explore and do it for the love of it and be guided by their expression of interest."
Above all make sure the motivation is about something inside the child that just has to come out and be expressed, rather than the desire for attention.
Speaking of something inside that has to come out: Check out this toddler singing the blues!
Personally I find it strangely fitting that a toddler would connect so deeply to the blues: where emotions are amplified and feelings are shouted out freely without rational thought.
Then there's this 'mini King of Pop': an amazingly intuitive dancer taking his cues from another freakish natural talent, Michael Jackson.
And if you're still not tired of freakishly talented kids, these two Latin dancers are a study in technique and finesse: pursuing excellence for its own reward.
(Video originally sourced from the Being Latino Facebook page)
What can we take out of all this for our own kids, talented or not?
The internet is a place of instant gratification. It is the very embodiment of a hedonistic treadmill where we move insatiably from one pleasurable experience to the next purely to avoid stopping and feeling nothing. It's a landscape where a great talent is measured in 'likes' and 'views'. And our kids are wandering around freely inside it – surfing YouTube and Facebook and Instagram - a lot of the time without us there to hold their hands.
How can we set this right for them and make sure their outlook on success versus fame remains grounded in reality?
Justin says, "It's important that we instil in our children a desire to pursue something meaningful that contributes to the world at large. In the context of having a great talent, that means projecting outward the happiness you feel when you're singing or dancing or whatever it is you do so well."
"If we can use our abilities to connect with people in ways that we personally find meaningful and ways that are making a genuine contribution, we will measure success and fame differently. As a result we will find a more enduring happiness that will last beyond the tally of our YouTube views."
On that note, check out the 'random dancing toddler'
He just loves dancing and he's making everybody happy. Hopefully he won't be chewed up and spat out by the YouTube machine. Because in this moment right here, he is the embodiment of an internal joy exploding out into the world and sprinkling us all with happiness.
(FYI: fast forward to 2:20 if you want to skip the talent show preamble and go straight to the dancing.)

This crazy idea obviously didn't travel far, so now T-Mobile UK is taking the matter by its no-so-smooth handle. The carrier distributed a new policy, in effect next month, that "Browsing means looking at websites and checking email, but not watching videos, downloading files or playing games. We've got a fair use policy but ours means that you'll always be able to browse the internet, it's only when you go over the fair use amount that you won't be able to download, stream and watch video clips.".
Wait, what? You are preventing me from watching YouTube clips on my phone after a certain amount of "fair use" data consumed? How much? "From 1st February 2011 we will be aligning our fair use policies so our mobile internet service will have fair use of 500MB." Take that, subscribers who have signed for the 3GB option, better plan around watching YouTube in the first days of the month, because after you go over 500MB, you will only be rocking Solitaire and old school text-only articles.
Can they do that? Obviously it is technologically possible, and US carriers have also been at the partner presentations of Allot Communications and Openet, who provide tools for traffic segmentation, even if your connection is encrypted. We really don't like where this is heading, and can't fathom why a simple higher charge is not enough to safeguard the carriers' networks from overloading. There is only one step from T-Mobile UK's unilateral decision to pricing mobile Internet use according to content, as in the chart below.

Some Accurate Oil Information for You
I have been crusing through this site and noticed there is a lot of misinformation and confusion about oil. Here are a few things you should know about oil for BMW's:
1) All new BMW's require synthetic. As far as weight, only certain production dates of M3's and M5's require the use of Castrol TWS 10w-60.
2) The Factory BMW Synth 5w-30 is a version of Castrol TXT Softect sold overseas. A few important things about the BMW oil a) it is a Group III hydrocracked oil which cannot be called synthetic in Europe, b) it is a heavy 30 weight (30 weight can run from 9.3-12.5cst@100c, the BMW oil is about 12.2cst), c) it is a ACEA A3 oil which means that it is approved for longer change intervals and has a HTHS (High Tempurature High Shear) measured at 150c of greater than 3.5.
3) In the US, the only Group IV PAO Synthetics that are available are 1) Mobil 1, 2) Amsoil (but not the Xl-7500), 3) Royal Purple, and 4) German Castrol 0w-30 (it has the red label and says on the back, "Made in Germany). Redline is a Group V PolyEster based oil. All other Castrol, Quaker State, Pennzoil, Valvoline "synthetics" are a Group III hydrocracked oil. It is debated how much better Group IV base oils are than group III, but generally they are considered better.
4) When looking for oil for any BMW that does not require Castrol TWS 10w-60, you want to purchase an oil that has either/both of the following ratings, a) ACEA A3, or b) BMW LL-98 or LL-01.
5) Note that Mobil 1 0w-30, 5w-30, and 10w-30 are NOT ACEA A3 or BMW LL approved oils. This is because they all are thin 30 weight oils (approximately 9.8-10 CST@ 100c) and have HTHS of approximately 3.1. Mobil 1 0w-40 and 15w-50 are A3 rated and the Ow-40 is BMW LL-01 approved. For 99% of climates and users 0w-40 or 5w-40 is the appropriate grade. There are some 0w-30 and 5w-30 oils (like the BMW 5w-30) that are forumlated on the heavier end of the 30 weight scale and are accordingly rated A3. These oils will work well also. LOOK FOR THAT ACEA A3 rating. If the oil doesn't have it, pass on it.
6) Some people seem confused about how oil thickness is measured. The first number (0W, 5w, 10w, 15w, etc) is a measurement of how thick the oil is at tempuratures of -35c- -20c (depends on the grade). The lower this first number the thinner the oil is at LOW tempuratures. The second number (30, 40, 50) refers to oil thickness at 100c (operating tempurature). 30 weight can be from 9.3-12.5 cst, 40 weight from 12.6-16.2 cst, 50 weight from 16.3-22cst (approximate). So you can have two oils, one called a 5w-30 (i.e. bmw oil) another 0w-40 (Mobil 1) that are very similar thicknesses at operating tempurature. Compare this to Mobil 1 Xw-30 which is close to a 20 weight oil at 100c. For more information here is a link with exact numbers http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/visc.html
7) BMW's recommended interval of 12,000-15,000 miles is to long. Used oil analysis has shown the BMW oil is generally depleted at 10,000 miles. Running it longer results in excess wear. It is highly recommended that you change your oil once between each BMW recommended interval (approx 7000-7500 miles). If you want to run your oil the BMW recommended interval, I would suggest that you use Mobil 1 0w-40 or Amsoil 5w-40 and change the oil filter at 7500 miles. I would encourage a full oil change at 7500 if you want your engine to last.
8) If you want to spend a few hours learning about oil, go to bobistheoilguy.com
great info.... but its like a different language.... so which one do you suggest if you were going to change your oil?
thank you for the informative post :thumbup:
1) Mobil 1 0w-40,
2) Mobil 1 0w-40, and
3) Mobil 1 0w-40
If you can't find the 0w-40, the Mobil 1 SUV 5w-40 is a great oil. Can't find either of these, then go to your dealer and get the BMW 5w-30.
The Mobil 1 0w-40 is a great oil, widely available (Walmart, Checker, Kragen, Autozone), and moderately priced. It is factory fill in Mercedes AMG, Porsche, and Austin Martin.
Excellent write up! Props! :thanks:
Curious as to why you reccomend Amsoil 5w-40 over 5w-30?
great post :D i used to run mobil 1 0w-40, but recently changed to redline 5w-30. does redline being group 5 mean it's "better"? are you recommending mobil 1 0w-40 over redline?
Awesome. We need more of this.
I think Castrol TWS 10w-60 is made in Germany, this means it is group IV??
Thanks for the great info! :thumbup:
Is the Mobil 1 0w-40 good for the occasional autocross or track day, especially in the warmer summer months?
yeah so basically, use the m1 0w-40 like me :D
Thanks for taking the time to School us. This is great.
So is BMWs own recommendation of Castrol Synthetic oil rubbish?
In reference to the Above Comments:
1) The TWS 10w-60 is a very specific oil and likely a Group IV/V blend. The reason that BMW specifically recommends and imports it is there is no equivilant oil in the US. In Europe, Shell & a few others make an equivilant 10w-60.
2) For Autocrossing and Lapping on Hot Days. For autocrossing, the 0w-40 is fine as you do not see high sustained oil temps. For lapping days, you may want to consider 15w-50 as you will high sustained oil temps.
3) The BMW 5w-30 Synthetic. This is a good oil at a fair price ($4.00). Mobil 1 0w-40 is a better oil, especially for longer change intervals. The problem is the combo of the BMW oil and 15,000 mile oil changes is not a good one.
4) A note concerning Mobil 1 5w-40 SUV oil. I know that somebody is going to go to buy this and say "hey it doesn't say ACEA A3 on the back." They are correct. The 5w-40 oil repackaged Mobil Delvac 1, a Synthetic Heavy Duty Engine oil originally designed for trucks and fleet vehicles. This oil is slightly heavier than the 0w-40 and has an HTHS of 4.1. It meets ACEA E3,4 & 5 which are diesal requirements but still require an HTHS of greater than 3.5.
What do you mean by that? All E39/E46 M3/M5 requires 10w-60. Perhaps you might want to change that to read "All E46/E39 M3/M5 require the use of Castrol TWS 10w-60."
Great info :thumbup:
I'm using redline right now, I might drop by the benz dealer and start buying the mobil 1 0w-40 to save some money.
Excellent info. :thumbup:
A lil off topic, but whats a good tranny fluid to use, and change interval?
You Rock
Cary, so much info. You rock man. :bow:
I feel like I'm back in college, but it's all soaking in. :). Are you a bio-chemist specializing in pertroleum or something? Thanks again man. You can never have enough information/facts about cars.....at least on this board.
IMPORTANT CAVEAT: BMW Automatic transmissions use so many different types of fluid it is hard to keep straight. Be very careful what you use and follow the manufacture guidlines. I know the ZF trannies use special shellor Texaco fluids that cannot be substituted with normal ATF fluids. Here is a link to a chart with the different fluid requirements.

Henri Desgrange, founder of the Tour de France, defined his ideal race as one that finished with a single cyclist surviving. When a friend and I embarked on a series of long bike rides through France with a book in mind, we did so in a spirit we imagined to be as far removed as possible from that ideal. A perfect stage of our anti-Tour would involve a picnic and a snooze on the river bank, some wine tasting or other non-intensive sightseeing interludes; and a comfortable bed in a small hotel after a good supper. Our rides were long, but we hoped they would not be too gruelling. We would avoid steep hills wherever possible, and where not possible we wouldn't be too proud to dismount and walk.
So we pedalled happily down the Loire last July paying no attention to the evolving drama of the world's toughest sporting event, until a text message from Brittany Ferries alerted us to the fact that the Tour would be crossing Normandy on the day of our return sailing from Caen, with a rolling programme of road closures that we should beware. After deciding not to attempt the Pont St Nazaire on our bicycles in a crosswind, we caught a train back to our car and drove north to intercept the Tour near Falaise.
Joining a few spectators beside the road, we watched police motorbikes go past, lights flashing self-importantly, until eventually the word went round: "La caravane arrivée!" It was a carnival procession of sponsor vehicles and floats, with music and dancing girls hurling sweets and junk mail at us. How long before the cyclists arrive? "The caravan lasts for more than an hour," someone said, so we fled the hailstorm of Haribos and missed our chance to fail to spot Cavendish and Wiggins.
The chance would come up again two weeks later, when the start of our ride from Paris to Avignon coincided with the final stage of the Tour, whose brave survivors ride laps of the Champs-Elysées before the podium moment beneath the Arc de Triomphe. We had chosen a Sunday for an easier journey from St Pancras by train and out of Paris on the suburban RER (no bicycles allowed on weekdays during rush hour), and because on Sundays the expressways along the banks of the Seine are reserved for non-motorised traffic.
We could have caught the RER from the Gare du Nord but the chance to ride through central Paris was too good to miss. Turning left at Opéra, we passed the armour-plated shop windows of the Rue de la Paix and rattled over the cobbles of the Place Vendôme to find the Rue de Rivoli guarded by banks of spectators. Turning left again, we rode past the bottiers of the Rue St-Honoré as far as the Comédie-Française where we were finally allowed to turn right, through an opening in the Louvre palace and between I M Pei's glass pyramid and Napoleon's dainty little Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in the Tuileries gardens. Another opening in the Louvre brought us to the Seine, where we looked down on the riverside expressway: a heaving throng of slow-moving humanity, quite hopeless as a cycle track.
So we stayed on the Quai François Mitterrand (as no one calls the Quai du Louvre) and followed it along the river. We reached the Gare de Lyon, carried our bikes down to the underworld and caught our RER train (line D, for Melun via St-Fargeau) out through the suburbs to a point beside the Seine where we could set off for Fontainebleau, Burgundy and the south. Once again, the Tour had eluded us. Too bad. Ours was a much more civilised cycling homage to the delights of rural France.
This happy state of mind prevailed until I came across a remote country chapel in the Armagnac region of south-western France. Notre-Dame des Cyclistes is a popular halt for cycling pilgrims on their way to Compostela: 1,000km to go, in 12 easy stages of 85km a day, according to the present chaplain who has made the journey six times.
The chapel was discovered, overgrown, by a cycling churchman in 1958 and the following year Pope John authorised its re-dedication to la petite reine. It marked the start of a Tour de France stage in July 1989. Many Tour heroes attended and laid down their jerseys and trophies, as did the race leader Greg LeMond who went on to win the Tour by eight seconds and spoke of his win as a miracle.
The Tour riders may not pause to taste wine, swim in rivers or light candles in Romanesque churches, but their journey is also a celebration and a pilgrimage, and arguably a more complete homage than our self-indulgent meanderings. "To love cycling inevitably means to love geography and, additionally, the different regions," writes Christian Prudhomme, director of the Tour in his website editorial.
According to Mr Prudhomme, this year's tour is dedicated to "medium mountains" such as the Jura, the Vosges and the Massif Central. Their passes may not be as high as those in the Alps and Pyrenees, but the climbs are as steep and can stretch the peloton. On 7 July the Tour will be in the Vosges, tackling the ascent to La Planche des Belles Filles, the only ski resort in the department of Haute-Saône. I had never heard of it until I read Mr Prudhomme's description. Apparently the place takes its name from "a hopeless flight of the women of the valley, who wanted to escape from a massacre declared by the Vikings during the 15th century".
Two days later the riders start a time trial at Arc et Senans in the Jura, where the visionary architect Ledoux built a royal salt works for Louis XIV in 1771. For a combination of sightseeing and Tour spectating this summer, Arc et Senans would be a good choice.
By coincidence, while the Tour is speeding through the Vosges my cycling buddy and I will be in the same area, inching along the Route des Crêtes on a tour of Alsace; soon to be followed, we hope, by an easier ride along the prettiest wine road in France.
A friend whose hotel in Strasbourg is popular with holiday cyclists tells me we are mad. "Less than 1 per cent" of his clients go anywhere near the mountains, and none weighed down, as I fear we will be, by luggage. Why not stick to the gentle plain? Well, the mountains are an essential component of the beauty of Alsace, and we feel we ought to have a go. Yes, we did once consider ourselves too grown up for the self-improvement kick and the macho masochism of hill cycling. But it sucks you in, does the Tour.

Bye bye, Bankhead: Looped to close this Sunday
Mon Apr 5 2010
Tallulah, we hardly knew ya. Looped, Matthew Lombardo's shaky bioplay about the great Tallulah Bankhead, opened to mediocre reviews (including ours) on March 14; today it announced that it will be closing a mere month later, on April 11. We will not shed any crocodile tears here over the news; despite a formidable central performance by Valerie Harper, and a quiver of acid-tipped one-liners from the Bankhead repertoire, we didn't care much for the play as a whole. (While we're on the subject: Why has no one pointed out the numerous similarities between Looped and the similarly weak Rothko bioplay Red? Is it because the latter snows audiences with highfalutin mumbo jumbo about art?) Although the play is undercooked, some audiences—the very camp enthusiasts that Lombardo, with a certain degree of bad faith, makes the villains of his Tallulah-versus-the-screaming-queens backstory—will surely get a kick out of Harper's divinely wasted proto--Ab Fab antics in Looped. If that's you, then hurry over to the Lyceum posthaste. You have just one week left to make a run on the Bankhead.

Jennifer and Robert's Wedding
"This resort, built in 1912, is one of the oldest in Arizona. It doesn't seem to get as much attention as the newer, trendier places, so I wanted to give it a little love here. Our wedding and reception were absolutely beautiful. Our ceremony was held under the vine-covered pergola, which was perfect for our vineyard-influenced wedding. We talked about having our reception outside on the overlook terrace, but decided on the San Marcos ballroom after I fell in love with the glorious chandeliers. The fountain courtyard, with the trees wrapped in white Christmas lights, was the perfect setting for our cocktail hour. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was, and our wine glasses were never empty. When we arrived in our complimentary bridal suite, there was a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us. The top layer of our wedding cake was boxed up and sitting next to it. I highly recommend taking the time to check out this venue. If you do, be sure to tell Ashley hello for me!"

helping families in ottawa, canada become self-sufficient contributing members of society
Wendy is the Co-op Teacher
The focus of this year's co-operative education program at the M.F. McHugh Education Centre/Youville Centre was in keeping with the Youville goal: to help our students become "self-sufficient contributing members of society". In order to achieve this, our program encompassed the following:
Through experiential learning opportunities, students were able to gain employability skills, learn about post secondary options, and expand their résumés by attending workshops and earning a variety of certifications including: WHMIS, Passport to Safety, Service Excellence, Smart Serve and First Aid / CPR. Students were also able to give back to the community through their volunteer efforts at the Ottawa Food Bank and Clean Up the Capital.
Our Co-op program would not be possible without the tremendous support and mentorship that is provided by our workplace supervisors. We are so appreciative of the many businesses and organizations that provided a placement for our students. Their commitment to the program and positive role modeling were essential to the growth and development of our young mothers. These host organizations included:
Throughout the month of April, our students took advantage of the many events that were offered by the OCDSB, OCSB, and Job Connect during the "Skilled Trades Month" in Ottawa. These events were open to the whole student body and many students took advantage of these opportunities.

Vodafone is reported to have secured a license to operate a mobile network in French Polynesia in a joint venture with Pacific Mobile Telecom. Local radio reports, cited by Radio New Zealand said that the government approved the application, but no date has been set for the network launch.
A spokesman for PMT, Patrick Moux, has told RFO radio that the company will try to launch its service as soon as possible. There is currently a single mobile network in the islands, Tikiphone which the Mobile World estimates to have around 200,000 subscribers.
The islands of French Polynesia have a total land area of 4,167 square kilometres (1,622 sq. mi) scattered over 2,500,000 square kilometres (965,255 sq. mi) of ocean. It is made up of several groups of islands, the largest and most populated of which is Tahiti. Total population at the August 2007 census was 259,596 inhabitants, with a GDP per capita of US$21,565 in 2005.

A Rival For BMW?
Lexus cars have never been known for their expressive looks or sporty driving. But starting about a year ago, with a pair of brash concept cars, Toyota Motor's (TM ) luxury division swore it had plans to leave its snoozy styling behind. The strategy: to build cars that draw more attention on the road and give Lexus' customers all the adrenaline-inducing performance they want.
In other words, after giving Mercedes-In other words, after giving Mercedes Benz (DCX ) a thrashing over the past few years, Lexus wants to inject enough sport and passion into its cars to take on BMW. The first cars bearing the new look of Lexus are the GS 430 and GS 300 sedans. I tested the 430, which starts at $51,375 but goes up to $61,070 with options such as satellite radio, a navigation system, and a rearview camera that shows what's behind the car when driving in reverse.
The first test in the luxury sports-sedan class is speed. The car's 300 horsepower V-8 delivers. Lexus boasts that the 430 can make it from zero to 60 in less than six seconds. I punched the gas pedal on my neighborhood street, leaving a plume of dust as the acceleration sucked me into the leather seat. This car has enough giddyap to run with a Mercedes E-class, Infiniti M 45, Cadillac STS, or BMW 530.
But the real question is, does it handle like a Bimmer? The answer is no. Don't get me wrong: The GS is a pleasure to drive, with Lexus' new Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management systems that instantly correct for tire slippage or spinning of wheels. It's a great feature for safety and improved handling. But unlike BMW, which allows the driver to switch off the traction-control system to push the car's limits, the Lexus runs the VDIM all the time. That makes it tough to see how much the car can handle when speeding through a sharp bend.
Styling is subjective, but give Lexus credit for stepping out. In the past its designers could be accused of knocking off Mercedes' looks. But the GS and the new IS 300/400 are really different. Lexus designers pushed the cabin rearward, so the car has a nice long hood. The roofline slopes down toward the trunk to improve aerodynamics and add a splash of style.
Inside, the GS is superb. Every knob and switch moves with precision accuracy. Lexus has hidden the controls for the mirrors, trunk, and fuel door in a fold-down panel to the left of the steering wheel. It's a nice touch, but the buttons are tough to reach when driving.
All in all, Lexus has come up with a great car. It's as refined as what we're used to but with more spirit than we've come to expect.

What would you like to do?
Can you draw a retirement and disability at the same time?
Depending on your disability insurance policy, you can get disability benefits to age 65, 67, 70 or Lifetime. Some policies have limited benefits for 2, 5 or 10 years.
Check your schedule of benefits in your disability insurance policy, or contact an experienced agent who can find your best options available.
Check your schedule of benefits in your disability insurance policy, or contact an experienced agent who can find your best options available.
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
Can you collect pregnancy disability and unemployment at the same time?
No you can't collect from both disability and unemployment at the same time. Disability provides income replacement if you are physically unable to work. Unemployment replaces… income for those able to work, but out of work due to job loss.
Can you collect unemployment and disability at the same time in Alabama?
In the Related Link below, under "Non Separation Eligibility Issues, item #2. you have to be able to work, and not be prevented, due to sickness or injury, from performing the… job you were qualified for, until such time as you are able and report back to them. In this case you could not collect both.
Can you receive Social Security disability benefits and Social Security retirement benefits at the same time?
No. You can only receive Social Security disability benefits if you are below full retirement age and meet SSA disability severity guidelines. Once you reach retirement age (6…5 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born in 1943-1954; gradually increasing to 67 for those born in 1960 and later), your disability benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits at the same base rate.
Can you get disability and unemployment at the same time in Texas?
Yes, you can. Disability does not mean that you cannot work, only that you are LIMITED in what kind or length of time of work you can perform. You can legally work even with …a 100% disability under Social Security, so long as you do not exceed the maximum income level they allow. ($1010 each month I think?) You must be able to present for employment and able to work if hired. This is true in ALL states! Not just Texas...
If you draw disability Social Security at the age of 58 when will you draw Social Security retirement benefits?
Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits at the same rate of pay when the person reaches full retirement age. There is no increa…se in benefits or additional payment at retirement, only a change in administrative status and loss of earned-income restrictions. For people born before 1943, full retirement age is 65; for those born between 1943 and 1954, the age is 66; for those born between 1955 and 1960 and later, the age gradually increases to 67.
Can you collect disability and unemployment at the same time in California?
NO. You can't collect both state disability and unemployment at the same time in CA. Look at the eligibility requirements for SDI.
Can you get state disability and unemployment at the same time?
No. To get disability you have to be unable to work, which is a requirement to receive unemployment benefits, thus contradictory.
In the state of Louisiana can you collect unemployment and disability at the same time?
Yes, you can collect both, but your unemployment will be offset by any disability benefits you receive. You also have to be ready, willing, able and actively seeking full time… employment to qualify for the unemployment compensation. See the Related Link below for more details.
Can a person who is drawing unemployment retire and draw Social Security at the same time?
No, and yes. You cannot draw unemployment benefits AND retire as you have to be actively seeking full time employment, for one thing. However, you CAN receive Social Security …benefits whether you are unemployed OR retired. Those 2 considerations do not affect receipt of Social Security.
My husband draws disability from social security when i retire how much will i get from his?
ZERO your husbands disability income has to do with his inability to work and has nothing to do with you in life or death.
Why can't I collect long term disability and social security disability at the same time?
There is a very wide variety of "insurance" coverage from employers, public sources and private policies, and you should address your questions to the administrator of the ins…urance plan in order to get an accurate answer - but in general... Social Security Disability Benefits aren't a means tested program; eligibility doesn't depend on whether or not you have some other means of support. Most long term disability insurance is designed to replace your income in conjunction with Social Security disability benefit so that the sum of the two benefits enables you to continue in a lifestyle similar to the one you had before you became disabled.
Can you collect California state disability and Social Security Disability at the same time?
You should be able to. If you are working past retirement age and paying in to state disability you should be able to collect up to 12 months. State disability is different th…en federal social security. If you are paying in and its within the 12 months you should be eligible to collect on what you paid for, it is insurance.
Can you collect unemployment benefits at the same time as disability benefits?
Yes, if you're referring to Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you can receive disability and unemployment compensation if you c…an meet the eligibility requirements of both programs. A few states, such as Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota (until fund increases), Virginia (until fund increases), and Utah apply an offset of 50% for people receiving both social security benefits and unemployment compensation. This means your weekly unemployment check is reduced by 50% of the weekly value of your Social Security Disability (SSDI) check. [Minnesota applies a 50% offset only for people who began receiving disability benefits after their work separation. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is not counted as income for offset purposes.] While federal law and the Social Security Administration don't prohibit people on disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations require all unemployment recipients to be actively seeking, willing and able to accept suitable work (comparable to previous employment or something appropriate to your skill set). This may creates a conflict if the unemployment commission in your state requires you to find full-time work, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work. When you file for unemployment compensation, all states require you to provide your Social Security number (authorized under Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. 85, Sections 6011(a), 6050(b), 6109(a), P.L. 98-369, Section 1137(a)(1)). They will share information about your claim with other government agencies to determine how unemployment affects other benefits you may receive, such as Medicaid and food stamps. Under most state unemployment statutes, you must be ready, willing and able to accept employment, be actively seeking work, and must accept any reasonable employment offer for which you are qualified (unless there are legitimate, extenuating circumstances for refusing the offer), or your unemployment compensation can (and probably will) be terminated. If you are physically incapable of doing qualifying work under your state unemployment agreement, the state may consider you ineligible for benefits, or may consider your claim fraudulent if they later discover you're too disabled to fulfill your contractual agreement. Under these circumstances, you will be terminated from unemployment and may be required to repay any compensation you received. Private Insurance You may or may not be able to collect both if receiving disability payments from a private insurance policy. Check the provisions of your contract, or contact your insurance agent for more information.
In State Laws
Can you draw retirement and draw unemployment to?
You can draw unemployment and Social Security at the same time in all states (4 states will offset your unemployment by a portion of your SS benefits). All states have separat…e requirements, though, when it comes to pensions, 401k's, IRA's, etc. so you need to contact your own state regarding those non-SS type of retirement programs.
Can you collect disability and Social Security at the same time?
Yes, because regular Social Security benefits (as opposed to Social Security Disability benefits) is not affected by other disabilities. Depending upon the facts, Social Secur…ity Disability may be somewhat different. Benefits are granted under SSDI if it has been determined that thea pplicant is wholly unable to perform any kind of job for compensation (and if other conditions are met, such as having paid in to the system for a sufficient length of time). Under a private disability policy, depending upon its definition of "disability", you may be ble to collect if you are unable to perform the work duties of the job that you had at the time of onset of your disability. Other definitions of "disability" may allow benefits if you are unable to perform a specific occupation or progession. That is, if a physician has a policy that provides disability benefits if he can no longer be an orthopedic surgeon, he may may still be able to collect benefits if his disability does not prevent him from reviewing medical records for compensation.
Can you collect early retirement and unemployment compensation at the same time?
Collecting unemployment requires being ready, willing, able and available for full time employment and seeking work. If your 'retirement' allows this then yes, otherwise, no. …Also, you have to qualify for the unemployment regarding monies, earned employment history, reason for leaving the last job, etc.
Can you collect Social Security Disability and a small retirement income from a previous employer at the same time?
Because SSD means you don't have the ability to work, under normal conditions, having a prior retirement income does not interfere with collecting SSD's benefit. They are 2 di…stinct programs.

Old Business: Water Stocks With Long Histories - views
SAN FRANCISCO (Stockerblog) -- American Water (AWK) is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. Actually, the transportation of water is an extremely old business. The Assyrians built a 50-mile-long limestone aqueduct in the seventh century BC, which carried water through a valley to Nineveh, their capital. It measured about 30 feet high and almost 1000 feet wide.
American Water is a New Jersey based company that provides drinking water and wastewater services to 30 states and 2 Canadian provinces. The stock trades at 17 times forward earnings and pays a yield of about 3%. The current annual dividend rate is 92 cents per share, up from 68 cents per share for the previous year, a 35% increase. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 10.7% on a 2.3% increase in revenue.
More From Stockpickr
Middlesex Water Co. (MSEX) is another water utility that has been around for over a century, as it was founded in 1897. The company primarily serves New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. The stock has a forward price to earnings ratio of 19, which is a bit on the high side, however, it pays a generous yield of 4%. The company just raised its dividend on November 10. Earnings were down over 10% for the latest quarter.

Chan battles rivals, devil on his shoulder
SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Figure skating veteran Yevgeny Plushenko is the "talk of the town" following his controversial selection for the Sochi Olympics, but world champion Patrick Chan is more concerned about the threat posed by Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu and Daisuke Takahashi.
The 31-year-old Plushenko was picked as Russia's only male skater earlier this month despite failing to win his country's national championships.
"That is the talk of the town," Chan joked after being reminded that Plushenko was a last-minute addition to the mix.
"It is drama-filled. I mean, who would have thought that after the results at Russian nationals and Europeans that the decision was made to send him?"
Plushenko is certainly a wild card in Sochi.
He has been virtually absent from competition since earning a silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games - opting to skip every world championships in the last Olympic cycle and undergoing back surgery.
When he does lace up his boots for Sochi, the Russian showman will find the skating landscape radically changed from his last global outing in Vancouver - when Chan finished 5th.
While four years ago only a few of the men's challengers attempted difficult quadruple jumps - Evan Lysacek triumphed without in Canada - all the top skaters now do.
Plushenko will have to prove he can still throw himself through the air and stick landings in Sochi. Continued...

This is more the political version of a footy coach's three-quarter time motivation session than classic budget speech, though you had to wait until a few words from the end before Treasurer Joe Hockey offered the memorable line he clearly hoped would bind it all together.
''We are a nation of lifters, not leaners,'' he declared.
If you hadn't got it by then, you hadn't been listening. The Treasurer had been hammering away at his theme from the start. ''Prosperity is not a gift; it needs to be earned.'' It was ''our turn to contribute ... to build''.
''If we all contribute now, we will build a sustainable welfare system ... the biggest medical research endowment fund in the world ... a strong defence and security capability.
''If we all contribute now, we will build the equivalent of eight Snowy Mountains schemes in infrastructure.''
''Contribute, contribute, contribute,'' he cried, and you knew he meant ''no pain, no gain''.
And, if you still didn't get it, Hockey reprised his most memorable line since becoming Treasurer last year.
''The age of entitlement is over,'' he said. ''It has to be replaced, not with an age of austerity but with an age of opportunity.''
And what did that mean, exactly?
Simple. No leaning.
Industry assistance programs? Props for leaning purposes, requiring lopping. Those earning more than $180,000 a year? Lifters who had become leaners. A temporary 2 percentage point increase to the top tax rate would teach them about contributing.
Old people? Hockey almost strangled himself trying not to call them leaners. Why, ''we should celebrate the fact that Australians are living longer''.
''But'', and it's always wise to listen hard when a Treasurer says ''but'', ''we must prepare for the adjustments in our society.''
Change the method of calculating pension increases by indexing them to inflation rather than average earnings, include superannuation in the means test for a Seniors Card, abolish the annual Seniors Supplement and, oh yes, increase the pension age to 70.
Unemployed young-ish people would be left with nothing to lean upon. The jobless under 25 would get Youth Allowance, which is even more parsimonious than Newstart, and those under 30 wouldn't get unemployment benefits at all for six months. Hockey didn't say how they would convert from leaners to lifters during these long, lean months.
Public servants? Leaners, for sure. About 16,500 of them would vanish ''without compromising frontline services'', 70 agencies would be abolished ''to deliver better value for taxpayers'' and 230 bureaucratic programs would disappear.
Politicians? Hockey wouldn't call them leaners but ''it was only fair that everyone makes a contribution'', so they would have their salaries frozen — for a year — just like senior public servants and the lovely Gold Pass would be abolished, eventually.
The coach, in short, was taking a hit of sorts, like everyone else, only for less time, in the cause of lifting towards eight Snowy Mountains schemes. No more leaning, unless it was to place a shoulder to the wheel.

I use clay flowerpot bases as serving dishes for this recipe. They are readily available from any garden supply store and are inexpensive. I find a 7-inch base about 2 inches deep makes an adequate serving size. They also may be used for many other purposes in the kitchen: two of them, one inverted over the other, make individual baking pans for rolls, or use them for small pizzas for the children.
Green and yellow squash sautéed with pine nuts and scallions makes a fine vegetable side dish with a salad of tomato, red onion rounds, and orange wedges dressed with orange flower water and extra virgin olive oil. (You can serve the salads in the ceramic dishes, too.)
You can easily substitute the breast meat from turkey, guinea hen, grouse, or most any poultry.
Brush the red pepper with the vegetable oil and hold over the flame of a gas burner with a skewer (or place on a broiling pan 2-3-inches under a broiler). Roast until blackened on all sides. Transfer to a paper or plastic bag, seal, and set aside for about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the milk and 1/2 cup of water together in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly sprinkle in the cornmeal, stirring until it resembles a paste. Add salt and pepper, stir, and remove from the heat. Set aside.
Place 2 tablespoons of the butter in a sauté pan. Add the onion, green pepper, and jalapeño peppers and sauté for 6-8 minutes, until soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Remove the red pepper from the bag and peel away its blackened skin. Cut the pepper in half, remove the seeds and veins, and cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Set aside. Brush the bottom and sides of each clay base with the remainder of the melted butter.
To assemble, lay 1 breast in the center of each base. Equally divide the onion-pepper mixture, tomatillo sauce, tequila, red pepper strips, cumin, and oregano among the 4 dishes, completely covering the pheasant breasts. Fill each dish with the cornmeal using a rubber spatula, leveling it neatly
Set the pots on an oiled baking sheet in case they bubble over. Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, until the cornmeal is browned on top. Remove with pot holders and set each clay pot on a liner on a larger plate. Squeeze some lime juice over the top of each and serve immediately, cautioning your guests about the hot ceramic bases. Serve extra lime wedges on the side.
To Drink: Serve this Southwestern-style dish with margaritas made with gold tequila and fresh lime juice. Or try Pedroncelli Zinfandel from California. Its lush, ripe berry flavors won't be cowed by this dramatic dish.

Mischa Barton, formerly of O.C. fame, has been showing up at collection after collection, after party after after party. Usually opting for some version of a short, shift/babydoll dress with sleeves, she has managed to do it quite well in such a frantic week (yes, a 7-day period!). But with all these looks, it got me thinking – With Rachel Zoe so busy, how does Nicole Ritchie and crew manage to get themselves dressed in the mornings? Shocking, I know….

Have Mercedes Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi - this could be down to a few things & would always recommend a diagnostic check first to see if any fault codes are stored to indicate any problems. A failing MAF (air mass) sensor can cause poor economy & a diagnostic test routine is available on Mercedes STAR diagnostic tool. Also check/replace the fuel & air filters, a blocked air filter can be a particular problem. Air leaks in the intake system can cause problems as can blocked catalytic convertors. The fuel system is also prone to leaks so check thoroughly for any fuel leaks, although it would likely have been noticed by you already as it would need to be a fairly large leak!
Best regards, Paul

Some food for thought: http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/1106/373201.html
This is a discussion on Your Opinion - Church Carry within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I carry to church and everywhere else it is not prohibited. Since I do not normally wear a coat to church I carry my Kel-Tec ...
I carry to church and everywhere else it is not prohibited. Since I do not normally wear a coat to church I carry my Kel-Tec P-32 in my left front pocket. I am the worship leader and make all the announcements and lead the music. No one notices. The K&D pocket holster does not print. My wife is the pianist and has a SIG P239 in 357SIG in her purse. It is with her at the piano and she brings it to the pew when she finishes playing. She does not take it back to the piano for the closing hymn, so if something happened then she would not have it. We have not figured out a way to make taking the purse back look natural.
Now concerning the two uniformed LEOs. If someone plans to come into your church and create trouble, who do you think will be the first two targets? With them down you are on your own. Take a weapon with you.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein
steve63, towards the bottom of your post(#1) you state, "I carry a G23 all the time."
I'm not trying to be a WA but .......what was your question again ??
If you carry then carry. Don't(NEVER !!) try to figure if you'll need it today. As others have said,equate this to wearing a seatbelt.
LEO's at the door ?? Please don't feel that they will protect you and your family when things get ugly. There are a gazillion of them out on the street and .....well....you know what goes on out there.
Sign...yes or no. Morality...yes or no. Training...yes or no. But never try to overcomplicate it. You might need it so carry it. That simple. -------
Always carry if it's legal.
Never forget Wedgewood Baptist Church: http://www.ifca.org/testimony/shooting.htm
Proud member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy:
Those officers aren't going to be protecting you on the drive from your home to church (and back). Yes, I would carry.
I hope that my comments here don't offend anyone because that is certainly not my intent. But, I believe that they are germaine to the thread and need saying. As soon as I got my carry permit, I started carrying to Friday night services at our local Temple. I also was armed when we attended services on our two most important religious holidays of the year. I will tell you that there are police outside the Temple on the two high holiday services, but not at the weekly Friday night services. When my wife realized that I was carrying to Temple she got upset. Her question to me was, "why do you need to be armed at services?" My response was to ask her why were there police with automatic weapons walking around in the old Jewish ghetto in Venice, Italy, and why were there police with automatic weapons posted outside the Synagogues in Rome and in Vienna, when we visited during Passover a few years ago. I also reminded her of the all too frequent attacks on synagogues in Europe over the last several years. And lastly, I asked her the following: "If someone hated and wanted to kill jews, what better place then a temple or synagogue during religous services?" She had no response and that was the last time I had any objection from her about my being armed at Temple. So, my answer is yes, indeed! I carry when I attend religous services at our Temple.
Now, I realize that religion is discouraged as topic on the Forum. And, again, although I sincerely hope that I have not offended anyone, I do believe that my post directly relates to the question posed in this thread.

Don't ask, don't tell.
"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow.
End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
What I really like about the J-frame and a pocket holster is the versatility of the "roving gun." I use a cheap Uncle Mikes pocket holtser and it can be slipped into the appendix area for excellent access while seated at church. This access is much better than in the front pocket.
It can also be slipped into a jacket pocket for excellent "hand on gun" options for cooler weather and navigating parking lots.
Front pocket has it's place also.
Roger Phillips Owner of Fight Focused Concepts, formerly know as Sweatnbullets
Could not agree more, Roger. That is my carry gun of choice. A S&W 38. model 642. I carry mine in a Mica pocket holster. Even without a jacket and carried in the front pants pocket, it does not print., and no one knows that I am armed.
Carry if legal, if you print too much, leave it in the car, at least you will have it while traveling and for stops along the way.
Strange as it may be, I'm not a 24/7 carry kind of guy, but the one place I always carry at is church. Every Sunday. Right now its either an old S&W Model 12 K-frame or a Bersa T380 in an ankle holster. I wouldn't necessarily recommend ankle carry but it works well for me given what I wear.
And I'll second the notion that in a 4000 member church, there will be a lot more than the 2 uniformed LEOs carrying. Probably a good number of off-duty cops, all of whom I would expect to have a weapon concealed.
When I attended mass this morning I carried concealed as I have at every Mass I have attended in the last 20-30 years. On a normal day there will be between 200 and 300 folks in attendance and I have never been "made". I carry concealed 24/7 and have for a long, long time. Nobody (except my wife and grown kids) knows that I carry. My carrying concealed has Never ever been a matter of discussion with anybody outside my family.
Carrying in church is no different than carrying any other place. Bad things can happen to good people anywhere, anytime. To assume that a church is somehow exempt from all that is exhibiting naiveté at an extreme (and perhaps dangerous) level.
De gustibus non est disputandem
and Pass The Ammunition...so they say...
I always carry at church...I'm sure others do too!
Today, my Glock-36 was SOB/IWB...not a problem...
Stay alert...stay safe...

Live Aboard
My wife and I are about to retire and live aboard. We are considering getting a convection microwave oven. I dont know how moch we are going to be in slip and how much on ancor yet. We would appreciate any advice or suggestions we can get. We have a 1980 33' Morgan OI Pilothouse.
What cha lookin' for? Advice on retirement? On living aboard? On microwave ovens? On how much time to spend at anchor? On systems to power your microwave oven?
Give us just a hint....
How much do you use a microwave at home? It won't change much.
How big is your inverter ?
How big is your house battery bank? Also, what charging sources do you have on the boat? Microwave ovens tend to draw a fair amount of juice..
how big is your Bank?
David...there is no problem with a micro/convection at the dock and indeed it is an excellent way to cook since you can get excellent results without heating up the boat as much.
Convection is pretty much out of the question on the hook but you can use the microwave only option to heat veggies and stuff briefly if you have a good inverter and battery bank.
It was a question on regular microwave or convection microwave oven ?
You'll still need a fairly hefty battery bank and inverter to run it though. Also, you will need to have some non-engine-based way of charging your batterieseither wind or solar.
Worked for Sharp Electronics many years up to '98 and worked in the consumer electronics area which covered microwaves.
Be aware that a convection M/W must be vented. Manufacturers make vent kits for each of their convection units. It would be unsafe to operate a convection M/W in the confinds used by regular microwaves as the heat would be too great and pose a fire hazard. Consult the installation specs with your oven before purchasing it to make sure you have room to install and meed space requirements.

Has anyone used a crockpot and mole sauce? There is a simple pheasant recipe with mole sauce. Two cans chicken stock and a small jar of mole sauce in a crockpot on low. I am thinking about trying it with duck.
Any advice?

Sean Duran has a problem with authority so he's sentenced to the Control Room where Marcus Ruhl teaches him to respect a man in uniform. Officer Ruhl secures Duran in shackles hanging from the ceiling and flogs the arrogant young stud until he begs for mercy. Ruhl frees Duran but the training session is far from over. He persuades Duran onto his knees and shoves his thick cock down his throat. Duran seems to enjoy getting his face fucked so Ruhl decides to step up his game. He pushes the tattooed young stud onto his knees and spreads his ass cheeks. He lubes up Duran's tight hole with his hot mouth and tongue then stands up and slams his cock in his ass. The more Duran complains the harder Ruhl fucks him until Duran finally surrenders by shooting his load all over his own rock-hard abs. Satisfied that Duran has finally learned his lesson, Ruhl pulls out and jerks a wad out of his cock.

Being locked up makes Marcus Ruhl horny and hungry for dick. He offers to suck off Officer Jimmy Durano but the Latin stud refuses. Instead he calls Landon Conrad in to fuck the sexy prisoner's mouth right through the bars of his cell. Durano returns from his rounds to find Ruhl making a pig of himself swallowing officer Conrad's huge cock. He pulls the filthy cocksucker out of his cell and gets in on the action. He whips out his thick uncut cock and Conrad forces Ruhl's head down onto the giant man-meat. The twisted cops take turns force-feeding Ruhl their cocks until Conrad bends him over and fucks his ass. Ruhl never stops sucking Durano's dick as Conrad pounds his hole until he pulls out and shoots his load. Durano tells Conrad to beat it so he can finish off Ruhl the way he likes it. He pushes the beefy stud back onto his desk and fucks his giant bubble-butt. Ruhl jacks off and drains his nuts, followed by Durano who showers Ruhl with loads of his creamy jizz.

Love is in the air when Angel Rock coaxes his hunky boyfriend Marcus Ruhl to join him in the shower. The two chiseled hunks make out under the running water which makes their huge cocks hard. After a playful sword fight they jump out of the shower so Marcus can go down on Angel's thick uncut cock. Marcus means business; he sucks Angel's cock from the tip to the balls like a true deep-throat expert. Angel nearly blows his Latin load but instead jumps up and sucks Marcus' big one. Marcus loves the head but it's not long before he tells Angel he wants him to fuck him. Angel's always ready to please his man so he shoves his giant whopper deep in Marcus' bubble-butt. They fuck on the tub and on the floor until they both get off and head back to the shower.

Most of my experience is cleaning rifles and muzzleloaders.
Just bought my first semi shotgun the other day.
I know I need to clean it before use. Run a few patches to remove the factory gunk.
What lube do you recommend for the slide?
I also have a bore snake for the barrel. I used Montana X for my muzzle loader and break free with accelerant for my rifles for the barrel. Then put a few drops of CLP on the action and magazine/bolt.
What do you recommend for shotgun lube and general maintenance?
