Keith Green
Keith Green had already been working in the HIV field for years -- and had been living with HIV since 1994 -- when he was first interviewed for TheBody.com's African-American HIV/AIDS Resource Center in 2006. Keith's compassion, sense of humor and thoughtful take on many issues have not only been an illuminating addition to TheBody.com. He has also reached many through his outreach work in Chicago and his writings in Test Positive Aware Network's publication Positively Aware, for which he'd served as associate editor from 2005 to 2009. In 2008, Keith's interest in exploring the intersections between HIV and mental health concerns, particularly in marginalized communities, led him to a graduate program in social work. Now, with master's degree firmly in hand, Keith is helping to change the face of research as a project director for two HIV prevention studies targeting young men of color who have sex with men. I had the pleasure of checking in with Keith again recently about his prior goals, his current path -- and even a few thoughts on relationships. In the weeks since Keith and I spoke, he accepted an exciting new role as director of federal affairs at the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, though he'll continue to be involved in the studies about which he speaks in this interview.
Keith, welcome back to TheBody.com!
Thank you; it's good to be back.
What's new in your life?
Currently, I am the project director for two prevention studies being conducted through Stroger Hospital of Cook County. I'm back in Chicago. I graduated from the University of WisconsinMadison, with my master's in social work. I went into that program wanting to get a better understanding of mental health. The funny thing about getting a better understanding of mental health is that oftentimes we only focus on deficits, or on severe, persistent mental health concerns; we don't necessarily focus on it with respect to people's day-to-day mental well-being. For example, I may not meet the criteria for depression, but I could very well be depressed. And those people, I think, fall through the gaps.
Having worked in HIV for a little bit of time, I was beginning to have these ideas, or theories, or hypotheses, about the impact that unaddressed and undiagnosed mental health concerns have on HIV prevalence and incidence, particularly in communities of color. So I went into the program in Madison wanting to get a better understanding of mental health; a better understanding of policy around mental health concerns, and their treatment; and to be clear that I also recognize a population that is oftentimes overlooked in the conversation of mental health.
I did that, and I did it extremely. My field practicum for my master's program was in the State Mental Health Institute, where I worked on two units. One unit was for men who had committed crimes but who had been found not guilty by reason of mental defect. It was a minimum-security unit that was beginning to transition these men back out into their communities. In the other one, I worked with adolescent young men who had been deemed dangerous to themselves, or to others, and were on 72-hour holds, or extended holds, depending on what the situation was, so that further evaluation could be done. I kind of went in headstrong, and really, quite honestly, enjoyed that work. It was very humbling.
There was this guy who had a psychotic break: He ordered services from a call girl, and then he killed her, dismembered her and disposed of her body in a trash bin behind his house. I did not know any of this about this man when I first walked onto the floor and first shook his hand. So, to later find out these things about this man, it dawned on me that that is something that he did. That is something that happened, but he is as worthy of respect and dignity, and of me representing him as a social worker, as anyone else I may encounter.
I came to find out that this guy had suffered severe abuse as an infant, from birth until 2 years old, when he was taken out of his home. Just this unfortunate unfolding of events, but it really humbled me, and challenged me to connect with people on a different level, even now that I've graduated and come back home to Chicago.
I don't think that my focus changed; I think my perspective on how to address the issue changed, or broadened, in that I think that we have to look at more social and structural interventions that validate us as human beings who are worthy of dignity and respect.
Have you come across any HIV prevention interventions that incorporate the kind of approach you're talking about? Do you know of any such programs?
Yes. I don't think we always look at them as HIV prevention interventions, but they are, in fact, HIV prevention interventions. So, for instance, repealing "don't ask, don't tell." Because that, structurally, does not allow for me to be discriminated against. And we know the impact that discrimination and segregation can have on a person's mental well-being, which impacts their risks for HIV, which impacts their risks for not being adherent to medications or not even engaging in antiretroviral therapy at all. So something as big as that, as broad as that, has very large implications.

Rosie O'Donnell is pretty famous, but sometimes when she is recognized, it's not because of her movie roles, her "View" stint or her time on Broadway.
While appearing on "The Rachael Ray Show," Rosie revealed she has been mistaken for Oscar winnerKathy Bates – "a lot," she said.
Fans have also looked at the brunette star and thought she was a famed entertainer.
"Marie Osmond," Rosie said of her second celebrity doppelganger. "If I'm thinner!"
During Rosie's visits to Rachael's show, she also took on a speed fire round of questions from the audience, where she revealed she did a little bit of cheating in school as a teen.
"All the time from my best friend Jackie and it's the reason I passed the SATs," Rosie said.
When asked about her weirdest job ever, Rosie admitted she worked for Sears in the catalog division.
"I couldn't explain to people why they still had to pay for shipping even if they returned something, so I ended up giving them my own money and I lost money doing the job," Rosie said.

Arcade Sushi Quick Tip – Use Any Controller on Any System with the CronusMax Converter
So a new generation of consoles has come out, which means you are going to have to drop a load of money on a new set of controllers… or do you? Maybe instead of purchasing four Xbox One controllers, you just want to use the Xbox 360 controllers that you already have. Well luckily, you can! All you need is a controller converter. Thankfully, the guys over at CronusMax have one that works for most consoles.
The CronusMax accepts inputs from an Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Wii or Wii U controller, and converts them to the proper format for your system of choice. For now, it supports the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Xbox One, with PS4 support coming in the future. Yes, this does mean that you can use your PS4 controllers on your Xbox One, or even your Xbox 360 controllers if you prefer them. It also means that you can use all of your old arcade sticks on new consoles without having to drop another $200
Another bonus is that the CronusMax can actually convert a keyboard and mouse to be compatible with your console of choice. Yes, this means you can have KBAM accuracy in the Xbox 360/One version of Call of Duty ghosts. You can also remap your controller buttons any way you like. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense for most games, but if you are an importer, it might make you happy to actually let "X" be select and "O" be cancel, like any sane PlayStation game.
The CronusMax actually uses a computer interface to help you synch your controllers. It comes with a small program that allows you to register the controllers that you want to convert. You just plug it into your computer, boot up the program, follow the on-screen instructions and then you are good to go. Just unplug the converter from your computer, plug it into your system of choice and you are ready to use any controller that you paired.
There is one downside though; the CronusMax doesn't have built-in Bluetooth or Radio Wireless capability. So to wirelessly synch it with, say, a Wii or PlayStation 3 controller, you will have to use your own Bluetooth dongle. Luckily, you can pick up one of these for cheap off Amazon. The same goes for Xbox One or Xbox 360 wireless controllers. You'll have to have an appropriate receiver attached via USB to get them to work. Wired controllers, on the other hand, work fine no matter what.
For more information about the CronusMax, head on over to the official CronusMax website. It also includes instructions on how to use the converter and links to online retailers. A CronusMax will run you $60, but can connect several controllers at once. Even so, it might not be the best choice for anyone looking to play with a GamePad, but for arcade stick and keyboard and mouse users, it's a great way to save some money.

Simplifying My Genealogy Life
Things are going pretty well on the home front. The problem I'm having is juggling all the spinning plates. The family is crazy busy as always with a spouse out of the country and a teenager navigating high school. Most days, I'm a taxi, homework warden and cook. It has not been easy. It has been challenging, frustrating and stressful.
The professional side of genealogy is keeping me very busy. I divide time between a long-term project, one medium-term project and some small stuff. It is so fun. I'm doing things I'd never imagined. Thank goodness for library school because I draw on those skills every day.
Naturally, my own ancestral research has taken a back seat, and that depressing me a bit. But something had to give.
It took several months to accept that I couldn't do everything, and that was ok. I went to RootsTech. I talked to friends. I talked to vendors. I learned about new products and spent way too much time in the demo theater. I went to developer sessions even though I'm not a developer. I left feeling recharged and more confident that maybe I could spin all these plates.
Then as I was giving myself a mental pep talk about achieving balance and getting back to blogging, I got this stellar pat on the back from a fellow genealogy blogger.
Yeah. Talk about getting kicked when you're down. Not really a big deal, but not nice either.
So I took another few weeks to sort things out and I started cleaning my genealogy house.
I unfriended several genealogy folks on Facebook who either annoy me or haven't really established a connection in years.
I unfollowed many genealogy Twitter accounts that either just promote their own stuff or duplicate what they say on their Facebook and Google+ accounts.
I took a break from reading genealogy blogs. Sorry! It's just that so many posts were complaints about Ancestry.com or the new FamilySearch web site or other things. I just needed a break from negativity.
I realized that I'm a librarian and approach genealogy as such, so I joined a professional library group to keep my genealogy research skills sharp. My professional development probably won't come from the genealogy community or APG, and that's ok. I know what I need.
Then for another few weeks, I worked and worked on my client stuff. And I yelled at my kid to do his homework. And I dropped off and picked up my husband from the airport every week. The weeks just looked the same and they all flew by.
This is where I am right now. I've simplified my genealogy life. No drama. No nonsense. No cares given whether you count my conference blog posts or not.
My blog started as a conversation with myself so my family wouldn't have to listen to my genealogy stories. It really is written as though I'm seated at a table, talking to a wall. Then an audience found me so I added more seats to the table.
I hope you've enjoyed the conversation and will continue to do so. I think I've managed to find a way to keep all the plates spinning, so blog content should pick up. Thanks for reading.

You sound as if you are describing my life. Different career, similar choices. Good for you.ReplyDelete
Do what you can. I always enjoy your posts. Sometimes life takes over and blogging is down a bit, but when you can share something, you've got followers who enjoy what you have to share.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Elizabeth. I needed to hear that and appreciate your support.Delete
Amy, your blog is one of the ones I ALWAYS check - you always have something interesting/funny/insightful to say. And when life comes along and keeps you away for a while, that's fine, too. Because that's also my life these days. Not much time for genealogy fun. But, hey, we're also gainfully employed and like what we do. Your decision to avoid/eliminate negativity is also spot on.ReplyDeleteReplies
Aww...thanks Greta!Delete
Yikes! As I look at this, you have 666 followers!! Maybe that will change, too. :)ReplyDelete
Curious what library group you joined.Replies
Ha! I've been at 666 followers for several weeks. I wondered if anyone else would notice.Delete
I rejoined SLA after many years' absence. I just want access to their wisdom, websites and webinars. I chose GovDocs as my division (you get a free one), so we'll see if that is beneficial in any way.
I really miss discussion about information and how to get it to people (especially genealogy people). That's not a *thing* in APG, so I'm starting to sniff out library-ish circles again.
You're at 667 now :-)
Good for you for eliminating the negativity where you're able. Life is waaay too short!
I'm in total agreement about exorcising all negativity. Good for you. I'm buying a you a celebratory beer in Burbank. Missed you terribly at NGS.ReplyDelete
Almost the same here Dahling. Lots of client work, no time for blogging. Today I blogged for the first time since February! As for the nitpicker - she knows not what she speak of. i.e. she's a hater and you know what they say about haters - always going to hate.ReplyDelete
I have always and absolutely adored you Amy!
Good for you Amy! Taking the time to sort out what's really important is sometimes the best thing we can do. It's unfortunate that a few negative people can have the impact they do. It's even more unfortunate that good people like you take what they say to heart even when it's not worth paying attention to. You have a lot of friends who will always support you. As for the social media "friends," the unfriend option is sometimes the best. I love libraries and all that they represent. I can see why that would appeal to you. I hope we see you at Jamboree. Best wishes!ReplyDelete
All the best Amy. I think the blogpost from the nitpicker shows up more about the negative-Nellie-nitpicker than you. All of your followers can't be wrong:) Thanks for all your generous posts, all of the time and effort you put into your genealogy and for sharing it with us.ReplyDelete
A quote from Facebook that someone added a few days back ... "If someone treats you like s*!t, just remember that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don't go around destroying other human beings"
-Maria from Australia
Amy, if there was a Like button on all of the comments above this one, I'd be hitting them! Life is short, do what feels good to you and apologize to no one. I've spent years trying to find my own positive tribe to hang out with. I count you among them.ReplyDelete
Amy, Glad you are OK. I was going to write this week since you weren't at NGS and haven't written for some time. So many times we (parents, spouses, women, etc) have to step back and think about ourselves. Glad you are taking that time. Look forward to seeing you at Jamboree.ReplyDelete
This is a post I needed to read. I've felt so guilty about neglecting my blog and my blog reading list. It's time for me to regroup and simplify my genealogy life too. Thanks for the reminder.....
I know exactly what you mean about the "spinning plates" syndrome. Every since i started Twitter a year ago along with genealogy research, i've been thinking "How do people do all this?" And a blog too? Webinars? Chats? Hangouts? Reading genealogy books? Saturday night challenges? Videos? What the hey?ReplyDelete
Slowly I realized that people really don't do all this. Everyone has to pare the work down to a sane level. All those voices inside your head telling you that "You really should ..." just have to shut up. Many genealogy tweeps are highly stressed about their work pace, and it just isn't worth it. Nothing is.
That article from "The Genealogy Nitpicker" was so unfair. I hope you can scrub it out of your mind. It's the same stupid do-everything mentality. If she wants it "done right," she can do it herself.
My paring-down so far is to blog no more than once a week, along with my family research. That's a finite goal. I like reading and commenting on other blogs, so I do that. But I do none of the other stuff right now.
I'm just about finished with my "archiving" pile. I want to be totally available when (knock on wood) our first grandchlld arives in August.
If anyone starts a Sanity in Genealogy club, I'd join. We wouldn't have meetings, because that takes time. We'd just know we're out there. : )))
Good for you, Amy! I've been thinking many of the same things as you lately. You've inspired me to take some of the steps I've been thinking of!ReplyDelete
"Juggling all the spinning plates"...that's so awesomely visual. And if you've felt like that lately, then good for you for getting rid of some of those plates.ReplyDelete
As a mom of five kids, I totally understand how it is to be a taxi driver, cook, and all the other things that go with having kids. I'm no longer needed as a taxi driver though because my kids are all adults and have graduated from high school now. =)
I didn't like all those negative blog posts either. Personally, I like the FamilySearch redesign and hey! It's free! And I do like Ancestry.com too.
Good for you! I've found that's the part of genealogy I struggle with the most. Finding time to "keep up" with the ever-changing landscape, make connections, plus keep the household running. I've scaled back on my blogging too because I stopped doing it for me and was too worried about other people's opinions on what I was doing than my own. So now I'm working on getting back to the roots of my research and finding my blogging voice again, which started as exactly what you said, talking genealogy with myself so that I'd stop boring my family!ReplyDelete
I sooo identify with this. I have learned that when I can't blog/research/read blogs/whatever, I can't. It's no big deal. Nobody cares.ReplyDelete
Someday we'll be old ladies with fewer plates, and then we'll have more time for reindeer games. In the meantime...enjoy the plates.
And here I thought I was the only one trying to keep the plates from crashing to the ground, Amy. Don't let anyone else's negativity get you down. You're way too fine a juggler for that.ReplyDelete
Amy, you have been an inspiration to me from the beginning....but I understand that sometimes life gets in the way....You are awesome, and good for you for doing what you have to do for you!!!ReplyDelete
Amy, no worries, good for you for finding your balance. it's NOT easy and there are always things that you are going to "let slide" and that's OK....Trust me you are have been and will always be an inspiration to me and I will enjoy your updates regardless if they come daily, or monthly or every six months....ReplyDelete
I want you to know that your blog post is listed in today's Fab Finds post at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2013/05/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-may-17-2013.htmlReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
How about we drink some Greek wine, have some gyros, and smash some of those spinning plates? . ;) Good for you, Amy.ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say hi and tell you that I couldn't agree more with your frustrations. The Genealogical Kleptomaniacs, as I call them, are breeding like rabbits and are gaining an "I know everything because I have an Ancestry account" gene. Hang in there. Their passion will die off eventually and they'll move on to new obsessions. All the best, KimReplyDelete
I had lots of blog posts in my reader when I returned from holiday and yours were some that didn't get the Delete treatment.
I was also incredibly hurt by the comments from that disgruntled blogger but the great thing about social media is that I was able to delete my connections to her.
I'll always be ready to read when you have time to write. The Railfan will be all grown up before you know it and deserves your attention right now. You've got years to attend to the ancestors.
Cheers, Jill
I think that it is good to get some time off from blogging even if it is from time to time. About the article the blogger wrote, just shrug it off. There is a Mexican saying "no soy monedita de horo para caerle bien a todos" translation "I am not a Gold Coin so that I may be liked by everyone".ReplyDelete
Take care,
Moises Garza
It takes more courage to simplify than to be a yes woman to everyone. I applaud you for stepping back and doing what you need to do. I know how hard the temporarily single mom thing can be. Just remember you are a Rock Star!!ReplyDelete
The spinning plates analogy is perfect for my life this spring as well! So glad you did some house keeping. Just want you to know, your blog is on my list of "must read" blogs.ReplyDelete
hmmm. Glad you are in the blogsphere, Amy. Family and Family History should be able to coexist. And, you shouldn't have to get beat up to get there.ReplyDelete
I'm late to the party because life has gotten in my way. And I'm okay with that :-) Glad you're paring things down and are doing what's best for you, not everyone else.ReplyDelete

Day 23 York, Coventry, Stratford, London
May 12, last day of the tour. We leave York and drive to Coventry to visit the Cathedral and view (drive by) the statue of Lady Godiva. The old Cathedral was destroyed in an air raid on November 14, 1940. Incendiary bombs landed on the roof, burning the roof and seriously damaging the stone work. A new modern Cathedral was built beside the old. The contrasts of old and new, war and peace, despair and hope comes off very well and makes for an enjoyable visit, From Coventry it's off to Stratford-Upon-Avon to visit Shakespeare's birthplace and spend some time in town. The town is very walkable and the setting of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre by the River Avon makes for a very pleasant afternoon. From there it's off to London, back to the Park Plaza County Hall for a final night. We are pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a suite. A fitting end to a great trip. Route MapRead More

First Berlin Cache (GC2EB4) – GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK
Since the two-millionth geocache is right around the corner, we thought this would be a great time to take a look back into Geocaching's past. This week's Geocache of the Week takes us to the capital and most populous city in Germany: Berlin. First Berlin Cache (GC2EB4) was hidden by geocacher error404 on December 29, 2001—that's only about a year and a half after the first geocache was placed in the United States. Since then, this geocache has earned over 1,000 smileys and (as of this writing) 48 Favorite Points.
This historic geocache is on the must-find list for many geocachers worldwide. However, just because it's been around for a long time doesn't mean it's an easy find. The difficulty and terrain ratings are both 1.5, however, according to the description, a bit of stealth and a decent walk are required. "Oh man, that was a long a bitter march to this historic place. But it was worth it and we were able to log Berlin's first geocache," said geocacher wullebaer in their log. (The original log is in German and was translated for this blog.)
A lot has happened in the 12 years since the geocache was first hidden. The surrounding environment, land-owners and land-use policies have all changed, which meant the geocache had to evolve. Berlin's first geocache has began as a small traditional geocache, changed to a multi-cache, and is now a micro. This geocache has even changed owners: the cache is now maintained by geocacher Jack_Sparrow and crew. Regardless of the changes, this geocache remains a significant part of German geocaching history.
As we get closer and closer to the two-millionth geocache, be sure to take a moment to look back at the historical geocaches in your area. Who knows, you might find inspiration for your next hide.
Continue to explore some of the most engaging geocaches around the globe. Check out all the Geocaches of the Week on the Geocaching blog or view the Bookmark List on Geocaching.com.
If you would like to nominate a Geocache of the Week, send an email with your name, comments, the name of the geocache, and the GC code to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Associate Professor Pahl Hluchan leads an interactive session during the Traditional Animation Camp.
High school students interested in careers in animation had the unique opportunity to create a series of short films and experiments for their professional portfolio at the Traditional Animation Camp, held July 22-26 on Point Park's campus.
Led by Associate Professor Pahl Hluchan, the students learned about the history and principles that make animation possible.
During the interactive sessions, the group of students developed their cartooning skills as they learned classic hand-drawn techniques and the storyboarding process. As part of a production team, they explored stop motion animation to design and bring clay characters to life.
Here's what students had to say about this year's camp:
High school students interested in attending workshops or camps in theatre, dance or cinema and digital arts are invited to check out the Community Classes page for registration information.

Researching In Style
This last month has really been a busy one for both of us girls! We have been working each day, putting together our research notebooks, packing and re-packing, and planning our summer over the phone and through emails. At times it seems so mundane and ordinary but we work at keeping each other pumped up and motivated to get it all done. Girl #1 has also been getting Li'l Red all spruced up and ready to head west and she will do all the last minute road travel planning this week while Go Hubby and I make a short trip to Topeka, Kansas for our Granddaughter's graduation which I will share next week with everyone. We have about come to the end of our Salt Lake researching preparations and Girl #1 says she will need a bigger notebook if she keeps adding pages to hers. It is only a 4 inch size right now. Mine is also, but I have two! Trying to figure out what to take and what I can leave is just too hard--so I usually have to take it all. Last year I didn't use much of all the "stuff " that went in the extra notebook and I have been reminding myself that I vowed to leave some of the papers home this year. Who is that person that keeps whispering in my ear, saying "take it, take it"? Wishing I was a bit more organized with everything on my laptop but alas, I still live partially in the world of paper. At least if we get stranded in a freezing blizzard on the way to Salt Lake in late May, we can always live on our jar of peanut butter and jelly beans and then burn my paper "stuff " to keep warm- (yes, it is all duplicate copies so we are safe there.) We are almost good to go....
Last year we came up with the idea to mark the file cabinet drawers in the FHL with bright colored stick-em papers so we could find our way back to the right file drawer a bit easier and quicker. That worked fairly well but this year we will be going in style! All that a fore mentioned research and packing got me to thinking that I needed something fun to do for a break, so today I set out to make some fancy magnetic film drawer markers. Since we are taking all those wonderful little purses and all those beautiful shoes, we needed gorgeous magnets to match. My project got a bit out of hand before it was finished and they look more like party table favors than drawer magnets as they are sporting sunflowers, roses, oak leaves and feathers, but I guarantee these will be better than "a bread crumb trail" back to the file drawer. We can just gaze down the long aisle, spot our little fluorescent floral magnets, and run right down to the drawer. Anyone who has been to the library should appreciate how many hours of precious time this has the potential to save. Only trouble with that scenario is the fact that the two Grannies aren't very good at running any more, it would be just our luck to get our feet tangled up and go down in a heap and the FHL would probably ask us to leave for being unruly.The next day we would have to stay in bed and nurse the bumps and bruises which would negate all that saved time. These little beauties will save some time though and they will brighten up the drab film aisles at the least! Just the same, we are traveling AND researching in style.
Fill up your jelly bean dish, take time to relax and get ready to join us this Spring as we live the life of genealogy researching. We would love to have you come along on our journeys and we guarantee that you will have good time with us and maybe even learn something new and exciting along the way.

My Storify recapping of last week's "Science Writing in the Age of Denial" conference continues….
Previously, I recapped the first two sessions of the meeting organized by the University of Wisconsin-Madison (April 22-24, 2012), which covered "Communicating Science in Politicized Environments" and "The Denial of Evolution, and the Evolution of Denial." (In the interest of disclosure, I should note that last fall I was a science writer in residence at UW-M, and that I was a paid, invited participant in the meeting.) Now I'll pick up with what happened in the two later sessions that first day.
Cheerleading, Shibboleths and Uncertainty
There was no better keynote speaker for this session than Gary Schwitzer (@garyschwitzer), the founder of HealthNewsReview.org. The site, funded by the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making, provides independent reviews of the accuracy, balance and completeness of news stories about medical treatments, tests, procedures, and products.
Unfortunately, Schwitzer explained, about 70 percent of all the stories evaluated by HealthNewsReview failed to meet those criteria. Rather, too much of the time, medical news was dominated by an attitude of uncritical cheerleading for any and all new offerings, without an adequate exploration of the relative costs, tradeoffs in risks, credibility of the evidence or conclusions, conflicts of interest, and other important considerations. (A list of the site's rating criteria can be found here.)
New medical technologies he said, get treated like "shibboleths"—objects of cultish devotion. As a consequence, journalists who should be helping to their audience to set intelligent health agendas are instead just flooding the public with half-baked information and conflicting messages, according to Schwitzer. With a dig at FOX News (which he said was notably awful in this regard), Schwitzer called the present "an age of infoxification."
For a good example of a dreadful phenomenon, Schwitzer pointed to coverage of cancer screening. Mass screening is expensive and potentially harmful, so it should be balanced against the potential benefits. But anyone recommending that younger people not get mammograms or prostate antigen tests was loudly accused of wanting to "ration health care" or not caring whether people died.
Schwitzer has posted some of the slides from his presentation online. …

Much of the success and growth of Rocky Hill School in Potowomut on Green's River has been due to the talented and dedicated faculty and to the various headmasters since the school moved to Hopelands.
It is very reassuring to note that over the past 30 years, when we first began writing these stories in the 1980s, how Rocky Hill School has managed to preserve so much of the natural beauty of the area. It has managed to keep close contact with the past while forging into the future.
Thanks to Alan Flynn and James Young, their long tenures as headmaster shows how the understanding of nature, beauty, the past and the future have al been rendered together to make Rocky Hill an exceptional school. Dr. Jonathan Schoenwald, the eighth headmaster, came to the school in 2011 and brought with him an impressive array of credentials and understanding of the situation. He has taught history at various levels from students at a young age to college. He also has a long record as a school and college administrator.
After receiving his PhD in history, he has distinguished himself in writing a number of articles of America in the 20th century. This dynamic, athletic and academically talented headmaster believes in teaching the entire student. He wants to make sure his students know why things have happened and to develop a keen interest in the past, present and future. This very inquisitive and obviously intelligent administrator sees Rocky Hill School with its beauty, proximity to the sea and excellent faculty a perfect setting for learning as well as developing students who can make a definite contribution to society.
Standing here at Rocky Hill School while the faculty and students are engaging in teaching and learning and building, it's very easy to let ourselves drift back to imagine how it was at one time when Tory Richard Greene first entertained many of the officers of the British Navy in the 18th century. In those days, hunting and feasting were to the degree that only were enjoyed by the very wealthy nobility in Europe. They bestowed the title of "King Richard" on the wealthy landowner. The Greene estate was one of the areas that from the British point of view was a fine example of colonial America.
As time went on, the Revolutionary War changed all this. Ironically, Greene, who was once one of the most popular figures in Potowomut, became one of the most detested for his political views and in trading with the British, who occupied Newport in 1776. While Greene's cousin, Nathanael, became one of the war's great generals, Richard had to flee to Newport for British protection. When he abandoned the estate, the Brown family, ever aware of prime land, acquired the estate. It was given as a wedding present to Nicholas Brown's daughter, Hope, who married merchant Thomas P. Ives. The estate became known as Hopelands and much of what has been preserved harkens back to that period and the lovely mansion that was built there.
In the stillness of the day, it's easy to forget that we are in the 21st century. Looking out over the bay, we can see how Rhode Island's proximity to the water was so important in early times. The longer Terry and I stayed at Rocky Hill School, we realized that the area is a fine example of the contributions of Rhode Island to the rest of the world. In addition to the heritage of the past, Terry and I realize that this section of Potowomut represented the gateway to the future. With the proximity to the sea and the classes of ocean studies, we ca imagine how Rocky Hill School might someday produce a student caught up in the excitement of recent discoveries of the potential of the sea; might make a major contribution that will diminish poverty, hunger and disease. The great promise and hope of the future, along with the rich heritage, seems to have gathered here at this beautiful spot.

Due to the dropping of ConsoleKit I have been 'forced', so to speak, to approach a systemd setup earlier than I expected. And I have tried to adjust the past and the present/future the best way possible.
After a successful transition of most of my rc.conf content (hwclock is the only one left there right now) I think I can say that I am at the pre-sysvinit removal stage, in terms of placing my setup in a so called 'transition to systemd' timeline that is.
Following the steps in the wiki related to avoid systemd to handle some ACPI events I encounter the following issues though,
- when the suspend key is pressed (Fn+F4) acpid is invoked twice according to journalctl and thus suspends my laptop twice too. It's hooks are run fine though.
- the hibernate process is taken over by systemd now.
In order to track down the first issue I first commented the related line in acpi's handler script to see what would happen. The result was that systemd takes over the process (without obviously executing the related pm hooks I use).
Does systemd ignore that I set the Handle options to 'ignore' as said?
Later on I tested commenting out the suspend line in handler.sh and set the suspend option in the xfce4 power manager (which is what I use in both xfce4 and openbox) to 'do nothing' and acpi suspends correctly and runs the hooks as always.
The hibernation process, just like the suspension one, has always worked flawless in a pre-systemd setup but now it is run by systemd and, just like in the suspension case when systemd is in charge, the pm hooks are not run.
Sure that I have been working on systemd alternatives to my pm hooks but I still would like to stay with acpid and, thus, know what may be the reasons for this acpi struggle and the systemd hibernation takeover.

I think hwclock is already taken care of automatically. But maybe just use ntpd instead?
As far as the hooks and such, I have noticed to difference without them. But if they really concern you that much, you convert them to use /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep. You may have noticed, buy systemd actually suspends much faster than pm-utils. Apparently this is because pm-utils runs all those scripts one after another. If you put the scripts in system-sleep, the scripts willa ctually be run in parallel, thereby providing faster perfomance still.
I would recommend that if you are going to switch to systemd, "forced" or not, do it right, and use the native functions. The scripts in pm-utils are actually there to deal with bugs and shortcomings of sysv and the kernel. So it should be that these things are not longer needed, presuming that these things are being/have been fixed.
The thing WonderWoofy is that, similar to having to use systemd yes or yes to get 'ConsoleKit' support, part of my, and even that of other users if they have or run into the same problem, setup would be 'useless'. That is, some functions of my power manager would be ignored just because systemd decided to claim them at all costs.
And that is, besides the tricky double acpi call, is what I am trying to find the reason for. Why does this happen even if I do not want to to be that way?
You are right by saying that there may be some improvement in running the scripts at the same time (ok for me as long as it does respect the line f.e. lock before suspend etc.). But, just as I have stated in my previous paragraph, the problem is more of not being able to tell systemd what to do and, in this case, what not to do.
And that, I guess you will agree, is always a problem even if there are no 'improved' alternatives at stake.
'Cause I wanna be an Archy - An Archy in the UK // Sex Pistols
Have you looked at /etc/systemd/logind.conf? You should be able to prevent systemd managing sleep/hibernate etc. there. If it is ignoring those directives, I'd assume it is a bug.
I use:
$ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf
# This file is part of systemd.
# systemd is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
# under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by
# the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or
# (at your option) any later version.
# See logind.conf(5) for details
Basically, this results in KDE managing all of this stuff.
There is an issue with this stuff with systemd. I essentially ended up with acpid, KDE and systemd all trying to handle things like lid close which made a mess. Moreover, pm-utils is still required. (I actually found it difficult to *stop* the hooks being run - I still haven't managed this for power saving and just mask them.)
And reboot still doesn't work... (but poweroff works better than with initscripts).
As I understand it, systemd should probably not be handling suspend/hibernate functions if a DE is active - hence the inhibitor functionality. But when I last checked, only KDE actually used that facility so YMMV with XFCE.

Seems like root uses xfce, wich doesn't automatically inhibit the systemd's handling of power keys. In this case it should be disabled manually, like:
I assume that you edited your logind.conf like that. Did you reboot after editing that file? Because systemd doesn't automatically reload it (I learned this while trying to fix the exact same problem). You have to either reboot, or restart systemd-logind.service.
As for suspend hooks, an alternative way (probably the "right" way of doing it with systemd) is described in this thread.
Configured correctly systemd handles the functionality of consolekit just fine. The reason oh so many users have problems with this switch is because they don't read the news and they fail to search in any kind of reasonable way for threads that match their problem. So this is turn causes reapeated issues to pop up, and this I assume is what you are referring to.
So the non-functioning parts of your power manager is not systemd deciding the "claim them at all costs," so much as it is you having yet to correctly implement to functionality of logind.
I fail to understand how you see the "double acpi call" "tricky" as this to me seems pretty trivial to fix, and is documented in both the wiki and probably twenty times or so in these forums. I think the "problem... of not being able to tell systemd what to do" is simply you not being familiar with systemd yet. But you have to start somewhere, I think. But, being as young as systemd is, the documentation that is included with it is pretty amazing. And with each passing day, the online community info continues to grow (both here in the Arch forums/wiki and elsewhere).
In the end, I personally found systemd quite easy to handle. It may not be as dead simple as the daemons array of rc.conf, but I certainly like it.
Oh, and BTW, that first sentence was very confusing... I had to reread that a couple times.
Yes, I modified /etc/systemd/logind.conf as soon as I realized that XFCE wasn't among the power managers to be able to inhibit the calls. As you use KDE I am not sure though to what extend my symptons are comparable to the ones you are experiencing. I think that nevertheless I have to make more tests in a DE environment as my main working environment is OpenBox.
You are right, I edited the file as explained in the wiki. I unfortunately do not recall if I rebooted afterwards. Still further tests have shown the still the same results, that is,
- despite dealing correctly with the suspend button acpi is called twice if besides set in acpi's handler.sh 'suspend' is also active in XFCE's power manager. Hooks are correctly run.
- systemd deals with hibernation and no acpi/pm hooks are run. LID is also taken over as I just tested.
So far I have found some more or less suitable systemd hooks even though I appreciate the 'right' approach of the thread you link to. Thank you.
I am not sure why you refer to the correct setup of systemd for 'consolekit equivalency' as I was referring to
That means that the system must be booted with systemd to be fully functional.
from the 30th November news which made the switch, at least in my case as in that of others I presume, a must and not an option as it was previously (by adding the systemd init line to the bootloader).
As simple as that.
Regarding the missing functions in the power manager I have to expand my statement as, unfortunately, I did not include that I referred to your suggestion of switching completely to systemd to handle acpi events. That way systemd would be, as far as I understand it, off the options of the power manager and thus having to care about two scenarios instead of a single, more simpler, one.
I hope the first sentence is more clearer to you now.
I would appreciate a link to the trivial fix you mention. That is, as long as you do not refer to the interference of systemd and a given power managing tool that does not inhibit the former
Don't get me wrong, I do not want to sound mean or ungrateful, but I already made the modifications suggested by the wiki as stated again in this message. If I refer to a double call of acpid (with client disconnecting and connecting twice - whereas with systemd I only get the client connected acpid messages) I actually mean to say so.
And the reason of this behaviour is what I am trying to figure out, with your help and the rest of the users that replied to this thread.
Why suspension will run correctly and once (acpid - as setup in its handler.sh using pm-suspend) only if I disable it (suspension) in the power manager (XFCE) when previously it worked fine in a non-systemd setup?
And this behaviour isn't listed in the wiki or the forums as far as I have looked up.
I am glad to read that systemd is easy to handle in your case which I hope will expand to more users, maybe even in the end to me.
'Cause I wanna be an Archy - An Archy in the UK // Sex Pistols
It seems that I have finally come across the reasons of the double acpi call. Or at least I think I have.
On the basis of my tests it seems that pm-utils inhibits systemd-logind acpi commands but the tricky thing is that this inhibition apparently "enables" the XFCE4 power manager. That is, once pm-utils resume from suspension/hibernation the referred power manager calls the same acpi event and, thus, ends up suspending/hibernating once again.
As I haven't converted to a pure systemd setup yet I was able to 'revert' to a sysv/initscript one to compare the results.
With consolekit installed I got a not authorized notification from the power manager when attempting to suspend but was able to do so without further delay.
After I once again removed consolekit the behaviour turned back to 'normal', not authorized and nothing unsuspected happening.
Therefore I wonder, a systemd setup breaks the 'collaboration' of XFCE power manager (and similar - maybe the ones not being able to inhibit systemd-logind behaviour? even though cfr's experience with the KDE one does not seem to point in that direction) and acpid/pm-utils? And by doing so they are now run 'independently' and this leads, as in my case, to running procedures twice?
Someboy knows if there were any 'inhibitions' in sysv/init to avoid these 'double calls'?
I guess this would be some kind of bug, but who would be the one to 'blame', that is, reported to? acpid? pm-utils? XFCE power manager?
If someone could shed some light on this question I would really appreciate it.
As for now I guess I will let systemd-logind take over and handle the acpi basics and, besides avoiding these headaches for a while, take advantage for now of the speed improvement WonderWoofy referred to in one of his messages. That way, just like the wiki states I will intend to leave acpi handle the extra stuff that is not covered.
'Cause I wanna be an Archy - An Archy in the UK // Sex Pistols
root, I really don't know WTF you're talking about. pm-utils does not issue the necessary inhibited commands. The inhibits in question were just created a few months ago and pm-utils hasn't been touched in over two hears. The inhibits also can't magically enable the XFCE power manager. It looks to me like you're running both acpid and the XFCE power manager then blaming systemd for double suspends. Do you really not understand that two power managers running together is a bad thing?
You really seem to not know as you mix things up pretty bad. Where do I state that the inhibit action by pm-utils is due to the inhibits in systemd-logind config file? You know, the verb 'inhibit' can be used for more than refer to systemd config related issues.
In the same way, where do I state that I blame systemd for double suspends? As I already told WonderWoofy it is acpid that is involved in those double suspends and not systemd (at least as far as I know taking into account the journal info).
From my sysv/initscript experience XFCE power manager and acpid (extended with pm-utils) just go along pretty well. If they wouldn't, shouldn't this same behaviour happen both in a sysv/initscript setup and in a systemd one?
As it does not I presume there is something more than a 'bad thing'. The more I think of it the more I see it as systemd running both acpid/pm-utils and XFCE power manager as different programs and that is why they run one after another whereas sysv/initscript did not. Thus, yes, in the end systemd may be the one to 'blame'.

Well, you said:
On the basis of my tests it seems that pm-utils inhibits systemd-logind acpi commands but the tricky thing is that this inhibition apparently "enables" the XFCE4 power manager.
which does seem to suggest a certain degree of confusion. Only KDE, that I know of, has been updated to issue the relevant inhibitory commands. pm-utils *certainly* does not issue them since it has not been updated for a long time and those commands had not been invented then.
And the relevant inhibitions affect systemd's handling of the events. Inhibiting systemd's handling will not "enable" anything.
But if you have found a solution, maybe this is besides the point - mark the thread [solved] and move on .

Confusion, as said, if the term 'inhibit' automatically is associated with the systemd-logind config file which I did not do
On the basis of the wiki it seems that Gnome has joined the 'club'. I am actually expectant once XFCE joins it too and how it will affect my nowadays setup.
More than finding a solution it seems that systemd works this way and there isn't much one can do. I also have already moved to a pure systemd setup and thus no further tests are available in a sysv/initscripts environment.
Thus more 'Solved' than Solved lol

1. British writer Philippa Pearce has a lecture series named in her honor, given since 2008 by such luminaries as Michael Rosen and Michael Morpugo. The 2011 lecture, titled "Both Perhaps Present," was delivered by Philip Pullman, and the transcript is available in full, along with a video of the lecture. If you haven't read Tom's Midnight Garden already, you'll want to run out and find a copy after you learn what Pullman has to say about it.
2. What better source is there on this earth for useful writings than The Horn Book? Here is the first of two essays from that fine rag: the recent Zena Sutherland lecture, entitled Why Books? and delivered by Mo Willems. Zena Sutherland was a professor at the University of Chicago and the author of Children and Books. Mo Willems is…well, you know who Mo Willems is.
3. The second: Jane Langton's insightful 1973 look at fantasy for children, "The Weak Place in the Cloth." Part 1. Go here for part 2. Keep in mind her great formulation for making the reader read on: What if? Then what? So what?
4. C.S. Lewis has lots of useful things to say, and many of them are said in his essay "On Three Ways of Writing for Children." Spoiler: only one of the ways is good. Scroll down and click on the title of the essay. Also read "Sometimes Fairy Stories May Say Best What's to Be Said."
5. Heroes, by Diana Wynne Jones. Not strictly about children's books, but she is a children's writer extraordinary, so it counts. I only wish there were more of her essays on this site.

Call me crazy, but there is no other filter then K&N. I have used this type of filter, expensive as it may be, but it is the best in the market and it has served me and my cars well. Every filter in my Acura ILX is a K&N. The Acura Dealer, Suburban Acura, has no issue with me using this filter verses a OEM type, which I really appreciate. Thanks for making an OUTSTANDING product, keep up the good work. Have one very, very minor comment and this is not about quality, but appearance. In my opinion the filter is the best, but the outer clear seal wrap is poor. I know...we just cut it off and throw it away, but when you open the box and look at it it should be perfect, including the seal wrapping. Cost is a factor but there must be a way to improve the wrap so it matches the quality of the filter, and that is a true sign of overall quality. Again thank you for making such an outstanding product. Respectfully Andy M

Steve Allen,
We started using your products perhaps 10+ years ago when a pro-stock drag bike racer who is also my best friend recommended your oil filters to me. Since then, I did an exhaust system on a 2008 Lexus GS 350, and engine air filters on every car I have acquired since. For myself and my wife who really doesn't notice such changes, we have really benefited form your products. We both drive Acura MD X's now so the oil filter product is the same. We thank you for making your products available to the daily consumer.

I use one of the fast drive though services for my oil changes... I can chose the quality of oil, but I don't have any choices when it comes to the oil filter..?... not true... I can provide my own filter... and I chose K&N... knowing K&N's history and performance record, I'm assured that along with the high end synthetic being installed, I'm also installing a High End filter to go along with it.... (and I get a 2.00 credit back for providing my own filter... would you want a 2.00 filter installed in your car..??) Again, my experience tells me the only challenge is the filter... and now, its a no brainer... Go with the best K&N Isn't your motor worth it?

The product fits my 2016 Crosstrek as it is said to. The design of the product itself is excellent. From a stand point of serviceability in regards to Subaru's though, it is extremely difficult to remove the flange from the Subaru's oil filter connection since the sides of the oil filter pan are slightly higher than the flange is thick and there isn't enough clearance between to get a proper grip with either fingers or tools. If you are looking at this product for a Subaru with the current style pan-like oil filter interface on top of the engine, I would not recommend this product. You will grow tired of prying the flange off before too long or you'll end up damaging it in the process.
Imperial Beach, California
It fit perfect. There is no oil leak and easy to install.
Easy to install & maintain. They're expensive but if you plan to keep your vehicle for several years it's no more expensive than purchasing quality filters every 3 to 6 months & there's no filter to dispose of each time.

Within 24 hours of Henry L. Graves' resignation in June 1851, Baylor trustees chose 27-year-old Rufus C. Burleson, pastor of the Houston Baptist Church, to be the next president. Born near Decatur, Alabama, in 1824, Burleson was an eager learner all his life. As a youngster he was an apt student of languages, literature, philosophy, and the classics. Converted at age 16, he renounced his initial plans to study law in favor of the ministry. He graduated from Western Baptist Theological Seminary in 1846 and immediately dedicated his life to serving God in Texas.
When Burleson took over Baylor, the ink was barely dry on a letter he had written a friend about the poor prospects for the University, especially the unfavorable physical conditions of Independence. Yet, in spite of those dire predictions, Burleson undertook his responsibilities determined to change the school's image and perhaps its future. He also pastored Independence Baptist Church and baptized Sam Houston on November 19, 1854.
Almost a decade later when Burleson left to assume new responsibilities in Waco, the University was hardly recognizable as the same school. The curriculum had expanded significantly and the physical facilities were greatly improved.
In 1886, as Baptists searched for the best man to lead the consolidated Baylor and Waco Universities, under the name Baylor University at Waco, the natural choice was Rufus Burleson, who eagerly accepted the challenge.
Approximately 450 students enrolled that September with about half in the preparatory department. During his presidency, Burleson instituted general and specialized academic programs, authorized the formation of literary societies, and substantially enlarged the faculty. He also led in the construction of the first two permanent facilities - Main Hall (later known as "Old Main") and Burleson, a female dormitory named for his wife, Georgia, which was dedicated to "female education and piety."
Eventually, age and "modern ways of doing things" caught up with Burleson and in 1897 he stepped down to become the University's first President Emeritus. In the position, he promised to do all in his power to advance Baylor's glory. In spite of the loss of personal prestige, administrative authority, and teaching privileges, Burleson kept his promise and worked diligently to promote the school.
Rufus Columbus Burleson was born to Jonathan and Elizabeth Byrd Burleson on August 7, 1823. His mother was a descendant of the noted Byrd family of Virginia, and part of the state's prominent political family. President Burleson married Georgiana Jenkins, daughter of Judge and Mrs. P.C. Jenkins, on January 3, 1853, with Henry Graves officiating. They had five children, only two of whom survived - Hallie Byrd and Richard Adair. Burleson died on May 14, 1901, after having asked that his bed be turned to "view the spires of Main and Burleson Hall."

In 1971, A. Sidney DeWolf Herreshoff and Rebecca Chase Herreshoff founded the Herreshoff Marine Museum to preserve and perpetuate the unique accomplishments of the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. Today the campus encompasses a large museum facility, the old family homestead, six former company buildings, and a large portion of the company's waterfront.
Rhode Island's oldest boat, SPRITE, (claimed to be the oldest existing private yacht in the US), and RELIANCE, the largest America's Cup boat ever built (featured on the Rhode Island Quarter), were Herreshoff designs. The first United States Navy torpedo boats, the finest light weight steam machinery, pioneering fin-keel spade-rudder boats in the 1890s, innovations in boat/yacht fittings, mammoth schooner yachts and the principal one design racers of the New York Yacht Club were designed and built by the Herreshoffs. Their most legendary accomplishment was the construction of eight consecutive successful defenders of the America's Cup from 1893 to 1934.
As a result of more than thirty-five years of careful documentation, acquisition and restoration, the Museum boasts over sixty significant boats, ranging from the 8 1/2' dinghy, NATHANAEL to the 75' DEFIANT, built in 1992 for the successful defense of the America's Cup. Harold Vanderbilt's TRIVIA, William Strawbridge's 12 1/2', HEFFALUMP and Captain Nat's personal yachts, the 1887 CLARA, and the 1925 PLEASURE, grace the Museum collection.
Visitors can enjoy ARIA, a superbly restored Buzzards Bay 25. Many consider this to be the most beautiful hull form ever created because of the sweep of the sheer (the rise of the hull in the bow and stern). This design was one of Captain Nat's favorites, and because the boat is a fast racer and a delightful daysailer, replicas are still being built today.
TORCH, a Fishers Island 31, has been immaculately restored. Visitors can step aboard to experience her finely appointed interior, giving a sense of what it was like to cruise aboard this historic boat. Visitors can also board CLARA and the 1905 motorlaunch THANIA.
The Nathanael Greene Herreshoff Model Room holds a collection unique in the world - Captain Nat's models used to create his designs, including his America's Cup defenders. The 500 models are works of art in themselves, and are testimony to Captain Nat's genius as a naval architect.
A changing number of exhibits illustrates important facets of the Herreshoff history.
Besides the yachts and models, the Museum has catalogued and displayed hundreds of artifacts and memorabilia significant to the Herreshoff legacy. This impressive collection includes ENTERPRISE's bronze stemhead, RESOLUTE's capstan, a quadruple displacement five cylinder steam engine from J.P. Morgan's yacht NAVETTE. Photographs, correspondence, silver and china, tools and even Captain Nat's notes and spectacles are on display.

Actually, Mickey Rouke pulled out. His agent said Mickey is going to strictly focus on acting.
YeH i read that... But suppose he wins or lose the OSCAR (which falls conveinientally between the Royal Rumble and WrestlemaniA....

I'll just wait til he wins the Golden Statue
I really think it all depends on how much Vince is willing to shell out to bring him in. I don't think Mickey actually wants to come, but he's just trying to bring more media and fan attention to the WWE while McMahon pays him to do so.
I remember when TNA was trying to start sh*t with WWE by mocking DX and going to the WWE headquarters in hopes of angering the WWE officials. This was TNA trying to gain more attention and money because they have virtually, NONE.
Imitation is one form of flattery.
Yeah TNA is such a joke.. DX turned up on the doors of TED TURNERS WCW at the turn of the century... TNA is weak stepping to WWE like that.
But yeah XBAY i reckon VInce wil fork out the money for Mickey Rourke while it's no mistake the main event will be Cena vs RKO it's the special matches Vince seems to book year after year.
Floyd Mayweather fight against the BIG SHOW last year was vintage, and who could ever forget Rowdy Pipper going a few rounds and MR T and Hulkamania.
I'm just saying if Chris Jericho doesn't get to fight Mickey Rourke then i just say Vince pays DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE a couple of Hundred K to come out of retirement and be Mickey's stand in...
I loved the movie WRESTLER and if theres any washup the movie is similar to would be the famous DDP!!!

You could see Isuzu struggling in the American market throughout the 2000s, but in no vehicle is this more apparent than in the Isuzu Axiom. Released in 2002, the Axiom was only available until 2004.
The name, Axiom, was a bit of a gimmick. The name was picked from a contest held by the car company from consumers. The winner from Redmond, Washington won an Axiom as a prize.
The Axiom is unfortunately known for its lack of innovative qualities and aging platform. The Axiom was built using the chassis from the Isuzu Rodeo, which was also old at the time. The inside of the vehicle was not set out properly; controls were in the wrong place for proper use, and the seating wasn't very comfortable. The legroom was also cramped in the back of the vehicle, meaning passengers had to suffer through every ride.
Along with the poorly-made interior, the steering system was loose at best, and the car didn't want to work with the driver.
Styling of the Axiom seemed to be the most dwelled-over feature by the designers at Isuzu. The car does resemble a knife; the angles are sharp and distinct at the front, while the back of it is as blunt as a knife handle.
There are several other choices for a cheap, used midsize sport utility vehicle (SUV) from the same period that perform better on the road, offer better styling and accessories, and are comfortable on the inside in ways the Axiom designers couldn't even dream.
The Isuzu Axiom was discontinued in 2004, and Isuzu pulled out of the American market altogether in 2009. As such, no one is expecting any new Axiom models in the future.
It seemed that Isuzu was trying to make the S model as unappealing as possible. In 2004, the S lost the cassette player and two of the eight speakers were removed from the cabin, making the entertainment options inside the vehicle linger behind the competition. To make up for this, the already-distinctive Axiom body got a chrome grill, which improved the aesthetics of the vehicle. The alloy wheels of the XS model were also upgraded to chrome.
The Axiom did have some flair under the hood; the engine was a 3.5-liter V-6 that produced 230 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. The 2004 model had a direct injection system to further increase the horsepower to a big-250 and the torque to 246 lb-ft. The four-wheel drive models came with a Torque on Demand feature that was controlled by a knob on the dashboard. You could control the throttle position and axle speeds of the vehicle while lugging large trailers or during off-road driving. Power was distributed to the wheels for ultimate stability, which proved to be a nice feature.
The Isuzu Intelligent Suspension Control was another impressive feature that allowed you to monitor variables in performance such as speed, brake times, and RPM. The sensors adjusted the shocks of the vehicle to accommodate for changes in driving performance. The suspension control system also allowed the driver to change between a Sport and Comfort mode, depending on the driving conditions. Unfortunately, the modes didn't work very well. Comfort mode was sloppy, and the Sport mode didn't do any better as it didn't add any really significant performance boost.
The Axiom was introduced in 2002 and only lasted for one generation and two years.
The Axiom was offered in two different trim lines: the base Axiom and the XS. Both vehicles were available in a two-wheel or four-wheel drive version. The base model had a variety of features including air conditioning, keyless entry, CD changer, and power features. XS features included integrated fog lamps, heated front seats, and a moon roof.
Several nice options were available on the Axiom as well. The base model could include a hitch, leather seats, and the aforementioned moon roof. Oddly, the trailer hitch was the only option offered on the XS model.
In 2003, the base version of the vehicle was renamed the S line. It dropped the CD changer and was made as an option instead. The XS did see two new features: chrome wheels and a roof rack, but these were not standard and offered only as options.
2004 Isuzu Axiom
SUV, Utility/Offroad
2002 Isuzu Axiom
The 2002 Isuzu Axiom has a curvier body than its SUV competitors, and designers looked to obtain sedan-like qualities including comfort, nimble handling, appealing performance, and easy-control dimensions.
