Listen Longer version of Tom Crann's interview with Kevin Kling
Listen Kevin Kling explains why he wrote a six minute story about a dog just to drive NPR producers crazy
If you're a regular listener to All Things Considered, you know the work of storyteller Kevin Kling. His compelling stories can be just the jolt you need while waiting in traffic.
Kling's frenetic tales combine a childlike wonder with forays into the bizarre, and they bring back strong memories of our own childhood.
Now Kevin Kling has translated his storytelling to text. In "The Dog Says How," he shares more stories from his childhood, as well as reflections prompted by his 2001 motorcycle accident. MPR's Tom Crann talked with Kevin Kling about his new book.

Chiffon Dress with Floral Detail and One Shoulder Style F14010 70 72
Nice Dress Wore this dress a couple years ago for a wedding party. I really liked the one shoulder. I am pear shaped and did not have an issue with the way it fit. Material could be better but can't really complain for the price. I was comfortable in it all night. July 17, 2014
Don't Wear This Dress This was one of the most uncomfortable dresses I have ever worn in my entire life and very cheaply made. More than one bridesmaid had to have a new zipper. They were hard to sit in or even move in. You had these wires with cardboard covering them on parts of the dress that would stick into your armpit or breast. This was a big bridal party of 9 ranging in sizes from a 6 to size 26 and none of them were happy. Please take my word and stay away from this dress. February 24, 2014
Awesome I have Bridesmaids that are size 4,16,18,20 Looks good on all sizes and they all have very different skin tones and hair. We got Malibu and the flower strap looks pretty and allows them to wear a one strap bra. Only tried on two dresses three got this one and the MO is in another style. January 29, 2014
Great Dress My BM's wore in apple red. It looks great on all body types and skin tones! October 19, 2013

Product Description
There may be no wooden or golden idols in your home, such as the ancient Israelites struggled with, but chances are, there are significant idols in your heart. These idols can look like normal, everyday concerns about security, financial stability, desire for attention or affection, but can easily become the ugly reality of anxiety, greed, and seeking approval of man, rather than God.
In Gods at War, Kyle Idleman addresses the issue of idolatry in the lives of believers by asking insightful questions that will help you determine which false gods are striving to sit on the throne of your heart. By sharing true and powerful testomonies of those who have struggled with the idols of money, sex, success, food and romance, Idleman clears away the cultural baggage of the 21st century to expose these gods for what they are--rivals to our unhindered devotion to Christ. Discover the freedom that awaits you when you allow the true God to reside unchallenged in your heart and life.

Publisher's Description
In gods at war, Kyle Idleman, bestselling author of not a fan, helps every believer recognize there are false gods at war within each of us, and they battle for the place of glory and control in our lives. What keeps us from truly following Jesus is that our hearts are pursuing something or someone else. While these pursuits may not be the graven images of old, they are in fact modern day idols. Behind the sin youre struggling with, the discouragement youre dealing with, the lack of purpose youre living with is a false god that is winning the war for your heart.
According to Idleman, idolatry isnt an issueit is the issue.
By asking insightful questions, Idleman reveals which false gods each of us are allowing on the throne of our lives. What do you sacrifice for? What makes you mad? What do you worry about? Whose applause do you long for? Were all wired for worship, but we often end up valuing and honoring the idols of money, sex, food, romance, success and many others that keep us from the intimate relationship with God that we desire.
Using true, powerful and honest testimonies of those who have struggled in each area, gods at war illustrates a clear path away from the heartache of our 21st century idolatry back to the heart of God enabling us to truly be completely committed followers of Jesus.

Q: Are there scripture references in Gods at War? re: Gods at WarAre there any scriptural references in this book? Is the entire book made up of stories (examples) of ways people "worship other gods". The stories are very thought provoking and I may buy the book, but just wondered how I might use it in a bible study.

Our Success Stories
Toledo Testimonials
I chose Herzing because of the convenient location and the ability to attend classes on the campus or online.
Toledo - Surgical Technology Careers
Surgical Technology Career Paths
Surgical technologists are members of operating room teams, which most commonly include surgeons, anesthesiologists, and circulating nurses. Before an operation, they help prepare the operating room by setting up surgical instruments and equipment, sterile drapes, and sterile solutions. They also get patients ready for surgery as well as pass instruments and other sterile supplies to surgeons and surgeon assistants during surgery.
Technologists advance by specializing in a particular area of surgery, such as neurosurgery or open-heart surgery.
- Certified surgical technologists with additional specialized education or training also may act in the role of the surgical first assistant or circulator. The surgical first assistant, as defined by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), provides aid in exposure, hemostasis (controlling blood flow and stopping or preventing hemorrhage), and other technical functions under the surgeon's direction that help the surgeon carry out a safe operation.
- A circulating technologist is the "unsterile" member of the surgical team who interviews the patient before surgery, prepares the patient, helps with anesthesia, obtains and opens packages for the "sterile" people to remove the sterile contents during the procedure, keeps a written account of the surgical procedure, and answers the surgeon's questions about the patient during the surgery.
- Some surgical technologists manage central supply departments in hospitals, or take positions with insurance companies, sterile supply services, and operating equipment firms.
Work Environment
Surgical technologists work in clean, well-lit, cool environments. They must stand for long periods and remain alert during operations. At times, they may be exposed to communicable diseases and unpleasant sights, odors, and materials. Most work a regular 40-hour week, although they may be on call or work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating basis
The information below reflects aggregated data from all of the Herzing University campuses that have students enrolled in the specified program in the specified time period. The information does not reflect data regarding individual campuses unless only one campus had students to report. The reporting period used to obtain this data was 7/1/2012-6/30/2013. If there were less than 10 graduates in a program, median loan debt and on-time completion data were not disclosed for that program to protect the privacy of those students. Tuition and length may vary by campus location. Ranges could not be input for tuition and length, therefore tuition and length reported are the highest tuition rates and longest program length to encompass all campuses. For information regarding specific campus tuition please refer to http://www.herzing.edu/tuition-financial-aid . For a more detailed description of how the data was calculated please refer to the Disclosure Methodology located here http://www.herzing.edu/files/2014Disclosures-Methodology.pdf .
Graduates of the Herzing University Associate of Science in Surgical Technology meet the educational requirements to be eligible to take the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) examination offered by The National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting.

Steven Seagal Is the Lamest Guy Ever
About a year ago I wrote a thing about how Johnny Depp just might be the lamest guy on Earth.
For some reason, a lot of people remember that post, and it's frequently brought up to me by fucking geniuses who say things like "Uhhhh, so you think Johnny Depp is the lamest guy on Earth? What about Kim Jong-un? What about the Dark Knight shooter?"
OBVIOUSLY, I did not mean Johnny Depp is LITERALLY the worst person on Earth. Just because he wears dumb hats and is in shitty movies and is, generally, just an all-around unbearably smug turd, I know that doesn't mean he is worse than a dictator or mass murderer. I am not retarded. CLEARLY, if we're looking at and considering every single person in the entire world and being completely and totally literal, Steven Seagal comes out the worst.
Here are the most terrible things I can think of about him.
I often worry, when I embed videos on this site, that people reading it might not watch them because they're at work or deaf or whatever, so just in case: this video is a dancehall song that Steven Seagal made, and it contains the following lyrics:
"Me want tha poonani"
"Nice itel breeze, we jammin'"
"That would be phat"
Also, his last album was called "Songs From the Crystal Cave," which sounds like something they would play in Urban Outfitters.
Over the years, Steven has claimed that he:
- Helped train CIA operatives and did "special favors" for them (his ex wife says, "Not at all. He was never in the CIA.")
- Is of Italian descent (he's actually half-Jewish, half-Irish)
- Fought the Yakuza (lol) with assistance from the American mob (lol)
- Is called in to help authenticate antique swords by auction houses as he is one of the world's "foremost experts on swords" (again, lol)
- Was a student of the founder of Akido, Morihei Ueshiba (who died in 1968, meaning Steven would have had to have been a teenager living alone in Japan for that to have happened)
- Speaks four languages fluently (I'm unable to find any evidence of him speaking anything other than English made entirely of lies)
In a 2002 profile in Vanity Fair, martial artist Gene LeBell claimed he choked out Steven during an Aikido exhibition, causing Seagal to poop in his pants. Steven denies it ever happened. But he also said he was a multilingual, Yakuza fighting, CIA assassin. So, ya know…
- "I'm a very funny guy, if you'll forgive me for saying so. When I did The Glimmer Man with Keenan Ivory Wayans, he and I were talking about who was funniest, and… I kicked his ass every day." (source)
- "I was born very different, clairvoyant and a healer." (source)

FANTASTIC CAR by BOBBYD FROM RUTLAND, VT on 05/14/2014. Trim: 2008 Pontiac G8 Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: GREAT HANDLING
Cons: NO PROBLEMS SO FAR
Overall review: I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE.
Review ID: #584727 Is this review offensive?
Sports car for the family man by Andrew from Idaho on 05/23/2011. Trim: 2008 Pontiac G8 GT, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Great four door for the performance enthusiast. I bought my GT with 28k miles and haven't looked back. Has enough power for all the speed and smoking tires you want. Even with a 6.0 V8 I get anywhere from 26-29 mpg on the highway. Sporty handling but it still rides awesome. HUGE back seat, my friends always choose to ride in this car. It looks great too....people frequently compliment it and mistake it for being a much more expensive car.
Cons: GM still could have done a little more with the interior. Fairly nice material and fit and finish...but somewhat bland interior detail. A little detail on the interior could have gone a long way. No XM option ??? Really???
Overall review: I've always been used to driving a sports car. My last two vehicles were a BMW 330i and a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. For a guy like me who loves sports cars but has a family....this G8 is the perfect package
Review ID: #552673 Is this review offensive?
Great Performance/Great Car by G8 Lover on 03/08/2013. Trim: 2008 Pontiac G8 Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Styling and power. Handles like a five series BMW but does not cost like one. Gauges are clear and can be read easily. Very reliable.
Cons: Some of the interior materials can be better. I had a plastic trim piece break off.
Overall review: Fabulous car. Powerful and has great lines. I am constantly getting compliments on the car and since mine is debadged, no one believes it is a Pontiac. My previous car was an E46 BMW (3 Series) and i was afraid no other car would be able to drive and handle like my 3 series. I am actually impressed on how close it came to my 3 series in handling (given that it weighs 500lbs more). I would definitely recommend this car (if you can find it!)
Review ID: #570663 Is this review offensive?
Wish they still made G8's by PA G8 on 02/15/2013. Trim: 2008 Pontiac G8 Sedan.
Pros: The G8 is an amazing car. Its large and it drives like a sports car. Still feels comfortable on the interstate even at 100mph plus.
Cons: Wish the passenger seat would go back as far as the drivers seat.
Overall review: Sad there aren't more of these on the road. Hopefully the Chevrolet SS will be better than the G8 next year. Have 60k on it, and not a single problem yet.
Review ID: #569750 Is this review offensive?
Great Car, Needs Work by nleamons22 on 05/12/2012. Trim: 2008 Pontiac G8 GT, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Quick sports car, a lot of room, has the power to race but also the ability to get 18 mpg in town with 6.0l with some practice. Can also achieve 29 mpg on highway, great car overall.
Cons: Front end problems, control arms, ball joints, with only 60k on the car have had to replace control arms; now working on sway bar and end links for noise. Missing something on the interior, kind of bland. Oil pressure and battery gauges are a great idea just wish there was a way to dim them down alittle.
Overall review: Good car wish they didn't discontinue them so early. Could have been remodeled with more aggresive rear end, strong differential, and more exotic interior. Good car but missing something.

10/1994 (BGVN 19:10) Possible gas emissions from summit and hot springs
08/2010 (BGVN 35:08) Seismicity, deformation, and helium anomalies during 2003-2010
08/2011 (BGVN 36:08) Observatory notes high seismicity during mid-2002 to mid-2005
10/1994 (BGVN 19:10) Possible gas emissions from summit and hot springs
A news report on 3 November noted that gas emissions from the summit are frequent, many minor volcanic earthquakes have been felt during the last two years, and nearby hot springs were also emitting volcanic gases. The official Xinhua News Agency quoted Ruoxin Liu from the State Seismological Bureau, but we have received no direct confirmation.
Charles Dunlap, Susanne Horn, and Hans Schmincke worked on and around the summit with Chinese geologist Tang Deping during 21-25 July 1993, but saw no emissions. One hot spring area was observed by Dunlap in the N-flank valley, which begins at the lake outlet into the Erdobaihe River. These springs were next to the trail to the waterfall and on up to the lake's edge; eggs were boiled in the spring water for sale to tourists. A weak sulfur smell was detected, but it was not as pronounced as at some springs in Yellowstone or Long Valley (USA). No other emissions were noticed from these springs. Another hot spring location W of this valley was not visited, but apparently it is popular as a bath. On the E border of the crater lake (Korean side), water from a hot spring with a temperature of 700°C was being pumped to the crater rim to provide healing potions.
Baitoushan (Korean name P'aektu-san) is a large stratovolcano on the Korea-Manchurian border ~300 km SE of Changchun and 325 km WSW of Vladivostok, Russia. The 60-km-diameter volcano was constructed over the Changbaishan (Laoheidingz) shield volcano and has a 5-km-wide summit caldera. One of the world's largest known Holocene explosive eruptions took place around 1000 A.D., depositing tephra as far away as N Japan and forming in part the 850-m-deep depression filled by Tianchi Lake. The much better exposed pyroclastic deposits on the North Korean side studied by Horn and Schmincke are extremely thick and include major ignimbrites. Four historical eruptions have been recorded since the 15th century (1413, 1597, 1668, and 1702). Chinese geologists spoken to by Dunlap thought that these historical events were probably phreatic explosions, and that there have possibly been occasional gas emissions within approximately the last 50 years.

08/2010 (BGVN 35:08) Seismicity, deformation, and helium anomalies during 2003-2010
A recent article in Science (Stone, 2010) discussed possible signs of seismic unrest at Changbaishan volcano, on the border between China and North Korea (figure 1). The volcano has numerous synonyms, including Baegdu, Paedu, P'aektu-san (Korean), Baekdoosan, Baitoushan, Chang-pai-shan, Hakuto, and Tiachi (Chinese). Its last recorded explosive eruption occurred in April 1903.
|Figure 1. Changbaishan tephra blanket (envalope and thickness) related to the ~1,000 AD eruption. Revised by Zou and others (2010) after Machida and Arai (1983).
According to the article, in June 2010 a South Korean geologist announced that Changbaishan showed signs of activity. North Korean scientists were concerned about recent geophysical anomalies observed at their monitoring stations. Stone (2010) quoted Chinese volcanologists as saying they have a "sophisticated monitoring system set up at Changbai" but that they "discount the threat and insist that the volcano is quiet." A meeting between South Korea, China, and Japan is planned in November 2010 to study this issue and to address the question of data sharing.
The article also noted that an eruption of Changbaishan could have devastating consequences. Xu Jiandong, director of the China Earthquake Administration (CEA) Active Volcano Research Center in Beijing, was quoted as stating that, of China's 14 active volcanoes, "Changbai poses the biggest hazard." Part of the risk is the threat of lahars from the huge lake in the 5-km-wide caldera (Lake Tianchi - Sky Lake). About 100,000 people live on or near the slopes, with the addition of many tourists in summer (figure 2).
|Figure 2. Tourists peer over the rim of the Tianchi caldera at Changbaishan. Courtesy of Stone (2010).
Xu noted that "In quiet periods, seismometers register about 100 small tremors a year around the mountain. In 2003, Changbaishan Tianchi Volcano Observatory [on the N slope] recorded 1,293 tremors. By 2006, the frequency had receded to background rate, and in the first 6 months of 2010 the station recorded 58 tremors. The mountain rose about 6.8 centimeters in 2003 and 2004, and the ratio of helium-3 [3He] to helium-4 [4He]—'a good indication of magma activity because the source is the mantle'—nearly doubled during that time."
The article noted that the CEA has proposed a major upgrade of its Tianchi caldera monitoring network to begin next year.

08/2011 (BGVN 36:08) Observatory notes high seismicity during mid-2002 to mid-2005
At the 25th General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), the Chinese National Committee released an overview of data on Chinese volcanoes, especially Changbaishan volcano (figure 3), which they considered the most dangerous and the most likely to erupt (Fan and others, 2011; Liu and others 2011). Focusing on Changbaishan volcano and its summit caldera called Tianchi, Tianchi Volcano Observatory (TVO) released data collected since it formed in 1999. This report will summarize both the TVO's monitoring network and their findings from 1999 to 2010, focusing on the seismic crisis during mid-2002 to mid-2005. As clarification, the name Tianchi is used to refer to the ~ 5 km diameter summit caldera vent of the volcanic complex, and the name Changbaishan is used to refer to the complex in general. The latter name has many synonyms, including Baegdu, Baekdoosan, Baitoushan, Chang-pai-shan, Hakuto, and P'aektu-san.
|Figure 3. Geographic position of Changbaishan volcano, situated on the border between China and North Korea. Adapted from Machida and Arai (1983).
To continuously monitor seismicity, TVO's Changbaishan volcano center was built in the highlands 40 km from the volcano, and five, two, and four seismic stations were installed within 15, 25, and 50 km of the volcano, respectively. Liu and others (2011) report that TVO's system "can detect M 0.1 volcanic events and give the [detailed] location of M 1.0 and larger volcanic events."
Seismic crisis. Our previous report on Changbaishan briefly discussed an increase in seismicity centered at the volcano in 2003 (BGVN 35:08). Figure 4 and table 1 illustrate that the increased seismicity occurred both in terms of the magnitude and the number of seismic events recorded. A histogram of the annual number of earthquakes from 2002 through 2005 shows a peak in 2003. M 2 and larger earthquakes became common in 2002, and peaked in late 2004. Note that tectonic earthquakes of M 4.4 and 4.0 occurred on 17 December 2004 and 15 April 2005, respectively, and are not related to this trend or Tianchi volcano (Liu and others, 2011). Following the seismic crisis, the number of earthquakes declined slowly, reaching background levels by 2006 (Liu and others, 2011). Liu and others (2011) break the seismic data into three periods over the TVO monitoring history (table 1). As is common with earthquakes at volcanoes around the world, seismic activity at Changbaishan often occurred in swarms, especially from 2002 to 2003, when hundreds of seismic events were sometimes recorded within a single day (figure 4, table 1).
|Figure 4. Time distribution of seismic events recorded at Tianchi volcano (Changbaishan) from mid-1999 to mid-2010. Top plot indicates magnitude of each seismic event; bottom plot indicates number of seismic events per year. From Liu and others (2011).

The hypocenters of earthquakes occurring at Changbaishan, and specifically the Tianchi caldera, were calculated from 2001 to present (figure 5). The majority of the earthquakes originated within 3 km of the Tianchi caldera rim (map distance), and within 5 km depth from the caldera rim.
|Figure 5. Calculated hypocenters for earthquakes occuring at Changbaishan volcano since 2002. (Top) plan-view distribution: triangles are seismic stations, red circles are hypocenters. (Bottom) depth distribution: colors from green to red indicate increasing depth (0 = sea level). Most earthquakes originated directly under the Tianchi caldera, within 5 km of the surface. From Liu and others (2011).
Coinciding with the increased seismic activity from July 2002 to July 2005, the ground deformation of Changbaishan also entered into a period of inflation, as measured by GPS instruments (figure 6). Horizontal displacement reached a maximum of 4 cm between 2002 and 2003, and continued on a declining trend (figure 6; Liu and others, 2011). Similarly, vertical displacement reached a maximum of 38.6 mm between 2002 and 2003, and declined in the following years; a cumulative vertical displacement of 68.12 mm was measured from 2002 to 2005 (Liu and others, 2011). Vertical displacements of the N and W slopes of the volcano (measured once per year from 2006 to 2009) are presented in table 2.

Magma source of Changbaishan. TVO monitored the gas flux of (among others) CO2, N2, He, H2, O2, and CH4, as well as the temperature of hot springs as a supplementary data set. Of particular interest is the measured helium (He) isotopic ratio, 3He/4He. The isotope 3He is often considered primordial. The concentration of 3He on Earth is considered to be essentially stable; the majority of 3He on Earth was trapped upon the formation of the Earth. 4He is a product of the alpha decay of heavy elements in the Earth's crust, and is still produced on Earth by alpha-particle emissions from heavy elements that have differentiated into the Earth's crust and then escape into the atmosphere. The mantle is depleted (relative to the crust and atmosphere) in 4He. 3He/4He ratios (R) of volcanic gases are compared with the common atmospheric 3He/4He ratio (Ra). If volcanic gases provide a particularly high R value (e.g., R = 5, or 5 Ra, indicating values 5 times the atmospheric 3He/4He ratio), then they are considered to be of mantle origin (i.e., depleted in 4He). Liu and others (2011) reported an average 3He/4He value of 5.61 Ra, and concluded that the gases being monitored are mantle sourced.
Liu and others (2011) also reported that He and H2 gas flux increased significantly in 2003 and 2004, associated with the above-mentioned increased volcano-seismicity of July 2002 to July 2005. They also reported He and H2 gas flux increases in October and November 2006, again associated with volcano-seismicity (as well as an M 2.6 tectonic earthquake on 11 November 2006).
From fluid geochemistry measurements, Liu and others (2011) reported that H2S and SO2 fluxes are low but suggested monitoring should increase in the event that the measured values increase.

Massive Changbaishan stratovolcano, also known as Baitoushan and by the Korean names of Baegdu or P'aektu-san, is a relatively poorly known, but volcanologically significant volcano straddling the China/Korea border. A 5-km-wide, 850-m-deep summit caldera is filled by scenic Lake Tianchi (Sky Lake). A large Korean-speaking population resides near the volcano on both sides of the border. The 60-km-diameter dominantly trachytic and rhyolitic volcano was constructed over the Changbaishan (Laoheidingzi) shield volcano. Satellitic cinder cones are aligned along a NNE trend. One of the world's largest known Holocene explosive eruptions took place here about 1000 CE, depositing rhyolitic and trachytic tephra as far away as northern Japan and forming in part the present caldera. Minor historical eruptions have been recorded since the 15th century.

A.Bill Palmer, former
editor of Concrete Construction magazine and
president of Complete Construction Consultants in
Lyons, Colo., responds: For the last 30 years
or so, synthetic fibers made from nylon,
polypropylene, and other plastics have been used in
low dosage rates of around 1.5 to 3.0 pounds per
cubic yard to help reduce plastic shrinkage cracks
(the ones that occur immediately following
placement) in concrete. Plastic fibers can also
increase a slab's impact resistance.
However, they're ineffective at
controlling crack width and location;
that's the main purpose of wire mesh,
welded wire fabric (WWF), and regular reinforcing
steel. But even these metal reinforcements
aren't very effective if they're
not chaired up properly and end up in the bottom of
the slab rather than in the upper half.
Research into polymer fibers and improvements in
concrete admixtures have recently led to the
development of concrete mixed with much higher
dosages of "structural" fibers.
Sometimes called macro polymeric fibers, these are
much longer (about 2 1/4 inches in length) and
thicker than regular fiber additives, and are added
at dosage rates of as high as 30 pounds per cubic
yard. (A more typical rate is 7 1/2 pounds per
cubic yard.) The resulting "high-volume
synthetic fiber" concrete has yet to gain
widespread acceptance — perhaps because of
concerns about workability — but studies
show that it resists cracking better than regular
steel-reinforced concrete. So it's
possible that structural fibers may eventually
replace WWF and other traditional crack-control

Topic - Recommend me a ski tour!
Tim Chappell - on 15 Dec 2012
OK, so walking up to the summit of Cairn Gorm then skiing down the NE ridge (Sron a Cha-no) the other day--before the thaw arrived, in sunshine--was something I'd been trying to get round to for a couple of years. And, apart from skiable all the way to Ryvoan, it was everything I'd hoped it would be and more :-)
Where next, folks? Suggestions for routes please!
I myself have in mind:
Creag Meagaidh and the round of Coire Ardair
A'Bhuidheanach Beag and the buttocky top over towards Drumochter
A revisit to Sgor Gaoith (I did this two winters ago and it was fantastic)
Aonach Mor, Aonach Beag, and round as far as possible either towards the Grey Corries, or towards CMD

Great Valued Vice
Reviewer: A viewer from Peralta, NM US
This vise is a great value for the money. It comes with a pedestal and c-clamp, some extra tools and other accessories that you usually have to buy separate. The jaws are great on this and I have had no problem going from size 24 midges to 2/0 musky flies. I have tied hundreds of patterns and the jaws work like the first day I bought them. This is a home run vice for griffin.
Built like a tank!
Reviewer: A viewer from Springwater, New York US
This vise is built solid and I will guess that it will last me forever. The adjustments on it make it very easy and very quick to secure hooks for tying flies. The vise comes with a bobbin rest and a few other things which really add value to the package.
Great Value
Reviewer: A viewer from Tupelo, MS US
After many years on a very cheap starter vise, this vise works like a dream and i have been extremely happy with it. It has a lot of options for customization. The carrying case it comes in makes it easy to travel with.
Excellent Tying Tool
Reviewer: A viewer from Pueblo, CO US
This is a great vise. I have had a number of different vises from Renzetti, Peak, and now the Mongoose and I love this vise. I would recommend this to anyone that has been tying flies for years or a new tyer just the same.

Nuance Communications Inc. Stock Downgraded (NUAN)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 1.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 28.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $122.95 million or 37.32% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -24.32%.
- NUAN's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.84 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Despite the fact that NUAN's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 2.28 is high and demonstrates strong liquidity.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 336.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $9.34 million to -$22.10 million.
- The share price of NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS INC has not done very well: it is down 15.61% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.

Book Nook: 'Making Habits, Breaking Habits' review
Travel deals
MAKING HABITS, BREAKING HABITS: Why We Do Things, Why We Don't, and How to Make Any Change Stick, by Jeremy Dean. Da Capo Lifelong, 264 pp., $26.
You've probably read that it takes only 21 days to create a new habit. But science hasn't substantiated that figure, writes Jeremy Dean, creator of PsyBlog, a website analyzing psychological studies. New research says that cementing a simple habit, like drinking a glass of water after breakfast, might take 21 days, but a more complicated one could take nearly a year.
THE SCOOP You know that Hershey's bar at 3 p.m.? It's a temptation, not a habit, Dean writes. Don't try to repress the thought -- if someone says not to think of a white bear, what pops up into your head?
BLOG: The Daily Apple | PHOTOS: Dropping LBs
DATA: Explore hospital rankings | Compare hospital charges | Uninsured people in NY | Docs paid by Novartis | Compare hospital infection data | How LI reps voted on health bills
WEIGH IN: Ask your fitness questions
THE BOTTOM LINE Don't go for complete reinvention, he writes. Instead, make a specific plan called an implementation intention, and be positive: If I'm hungry between meals, then I will eat an apple -- not if I'm hungry between meals, then I must avoid chocolate.

What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone's score, the "more important" they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.
This concept today could not be simpler: Below is a list of last year's ten highest paid athletes in the world. In keeping with the kinds of things we get up to here at the PeekScore blog, we've decided to see to what degree their compensation corresponds to their visibility, activity, and presence here in cyberspace. We already know that in the case of some of the individuals listed below, a great many don't believe their athletic abilities alone have gone very far in justifying their arguably obscene, and objectively handsome, paydays. But what of these athletes' efforts and abilities to reach their spotty, slouchy lessers out here in the ever-expanding, in both size and import, online realm? The PeekScores provide their answers, scientifically and objectively as always.
Who do you like on this list? Who would you have preferred to see on this list? Who do you believe should be the top earning athletes? Do you hate A-Rod? Comment and let us know. (AND PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING ONCE YOU READ THE LIST, FOR FURTHER COMMENTARY.)
|Earnings from May '10 – May '11
|Cristiano Ronaldo
|10 / 10
|LeBron James
|9.66 / 10
|Tiger Woods
|9.56 / 10
|Lionel Messi
|9.05 / 10
|David Beckham
|9.01/ 10
|Roger Federer
|8.95 / 10
|Kobe Bryant
|8.76 / 10
|Michael Schumacher
|8.05 / 10
|Alex Rodriguez
|8.04 / 10
|Phil Mickelson
|7.74 / 10
This list is not meant so much as a companion to the top earning models list, as it is merely coincidentally a different group of mostly genetically blessed individuals whose efforts, time, and mere presence are extremely well remunerated. It is for the good of mankind that we not associate the lists with one another even in casual conversation, nor even in an informal, relatively frivolous blogging context. Regardless of all the well-meaning talk of the meek one day inheriting our burdened little globe, the fact is that proclamation was initially made two-thousand years ago, and last we checked the meek – some of whom are employed here – were still left empty-handed. If anyone's to be remaining standing tall when it all goes down, let's face it; it's going to be the prettiest, the fastest, and the richest. If they pull themselves away from their mirrors, baby oil, and piles of money long enough to recognize this fact, our inevitable demise will only be hastened.
The men on this list and the women on the world's best paid models list would find themselves with a horrific combination of fitness, attractiveness, fortune, and global influence (as measured by their PeekScores) at their disposal were the individuals represented on each ever to get together and resolve to pool their considerable gifts. It is attributable either to their mercy or their frankly apparent stupidity, that they've not yet harnessed the ungodly power of their combined resources and done away with the nuisance which is we "meek," and set about repopulating this sphere with the race of
grossly overpaid juiceheads and bulimics agile, able, and visually appealing homo superiors their unions would certainly spawn.
Giselle Bündchen, who topped our models list – both in earnings and online influence – is romantically attached to the 13th best paid athlete on the planet. We people are grateful, as his relatively laughable $31 million year has kept him out of the top ten, and kept us safely out of harm's way. Even if he'd earned enough to warrant inclusion on the list, his adequate, but unimpressive PeekScore would have found him at a meager 8th place. Their spawn is strong, but not yet strong enough to take down the combined meek, as we remain for the moment legion, and many of us still have higher PeekScores than Mr. Brady.
As we here at the PeekScore blog are largely Americans (although it must be stressed this is not true for the greater PeekYou, as a whole), and have therefore not cared about soccer since America's brief, faddish fixation with it in the 1970s (and also a fleeting period of fascination every four years until the U.S. is inevitably knocked out of the World Cup), we don't know as much about the gentleman topping our list as we should. But, Cristiano Ronaldo surely has earned our respect and admiration today, and we remain grateful that he and Giselle have either not comprehended – or perhaps did understand, but humanely considered – the consequences of their potential union, and granted us just this short time more to be the meek we are, and (meekly) admire their wealth, beauty, and online prowess, and their agents' abilities to negotiate for them outlandish contracts.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork. It will play well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and may just be one of the world's most versatile food wines.
"Deep red. Captivating, highly perfumed aromas of raspberry, pepper, Asian spices, cocoa powder and rose; brighter and more precise than the regular bottling. Then juicy and penetrating in the mouth, with brilliantly fresh raspberry and wild strawberry flavors that stain the palate. Finishes tangy and long, with a whiplash of mineral-accented red fruits and flowers. This one really calls for a decade of aging, even if there's plenty to like now. Aged in 30% new oak."
93 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Lush nose of cherry and brown sugar; smooth, supple and juicy with long, elegant flavors and lovely structure; dense, complex and complete with excellent balance."

Tasting Panel
"The 2008 Pinot Noir Laurene Estate spent 13-15 months in 25% new oak. It offers a splendid nose of smoke, spice box, floral notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years, precise balance, a velvety texture, and an elegant personality. Drink this lengthy effort from 2013 to 2023."

The Wine Advocate
"Initially there is a noticeable touch of reduction though it quickly blows off to reveal very pretty and solidly complex aromas of blue and red pinot fruit that is cut with spice and violet notes. The delicious, round and delineated flavors possess good depth and excellent length as well as just a touch of finishing austerity that is really quite appealing. A lovely effort of class and grace that should age well."

"Floral, minty overtones add depth to the rich cherry and tobacco flavors in this medium-weight, focused and distinctive wine. The finish lingers appealingly. Drink now through 2018. 2,950 cases made. "

Pinot Noir(PEE-noh nwahr)
Pinot Noir is a finicky grape. It only grows in
the right climate, with the right soils and the right care. Perhaps because
it is so difficult is why it is so loved. Pinot Noir hails from Burgundy, a region known for crafting the most collectible and sought-after wines from this varietal.
Not only does Pinot reign in Burgundy, it is also...Read More About Pinot Noir

Based off of this site called playoffrace.com, the Chargers have a 4.06% chance to make the playoffs at this point. DANG! So you're saying there is a chance?!
Even after a win against the Broncos on Thursday the Chargers chances go up only 3.75%. We need a ton of help in order to make the playoffs.
There still is hope, but we can only control the games that we play. We have the Broncos on Thursday and we have to hope that the teams that are ahead of us falter. The Miami Dolphins are facing off against the New England Patriots this weekend. The Patriots lost their number 1 receiver this season when Rob Gronkowski went down with an injury. We will have to hope Tom Brady pulls that game off for us.
We also have to hope the defending champs falter at home against the Detroit Lions.
If they both lose, we still would only be tied with those teams and we don't hold many tie breakers against these teams. We need a lot of things to go right, but we have seen miracles work in our favor before.
First things first… BEAT THE BRONCOS!
