Today, I ran my second 5K race. Everyone runs the Turkey Trot in Clearwater at this time of year, but I didn't feel like trying to get to over there before the sun rose. So! I found a race that was much closer — the Tampa Y Turkey Gobble 5K. It benefits the local YMCA.
I signed up for the race about a month ago and figured it'd be a typical Florida morning in November, cool but nice. I was wrong.
Your eyes do not fool you — my car is registering a chilling 39 degrees. In Florida!! What was this sorcery? Who turned the heat off in this state? I had never run outside in anything under 70 degrees. The race started at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, so we were able to go inside the box office and warm up in the heat. I saw people dressed for all sorts of weather — some looked like the Michelin man, all bundled up and puffy, and others had cut-off t-shirts and shorts. To each their own.
We started exactly at 7am. I think the cold may have helped, or I'm getting a little faster. It's pretty exhilarating to run with hundreds of people. The streets were closed for us, cops and spectators cheered us on. I saw runners encouraging each other, helping one another. Sometimes I cover all these terrible stories for work, and little moments like this remind me that we're not all killing each other.
I finished at a personal best of 36:20 (which I know isn't incredibly fast, but I'm not incredibly fast). I expected to finished under 40 minutes, if I was lucky. But when I saw the clock ahead of me say "35:58, 35:59, 36:00," I freaked. That's way faster than I thought! I started sprinting and I'm sure I was smiling like an idiot.
I also passed these guys a few times during the race and I finally got a photo.

It always a trouble thing when you decide to buy a pair of gloves, the hiking gloves.
There are so many styles, sizes, and shapes, that you could collect a lifetime and never acquire them all! My favorite are made of porcelain though I've seen them in metal, wood and even composite plastic!
Then I have done a bit of research on them, and I hope you like this lens! The following is the list I want to share with you:
Top Recommended Hiking Gloves
Handskins are ideal for running, cycling and hiking. Lighter weight than the DuraGlove for warmer temperature ranges and without any armor, Handskins have a wonderful soft feel.

Toasty warm in the bitter cold, these double-layer fleece mitt liners are an ideal companion for long days in the backcountry. MotionWrap and MirrorSeam construction provides a technical yet comfortable fit, and the silicone grip palm prevents slippage when being used within outer shell mitts.

"Find a way. If something is important to you, and it looks impossible and you're up against it. Just step back and say, 'Do I have the resolve to get through this?' And most times, you'll find you do. People today give up too easy."
Those are the powerful words spoken by Diana Nyad to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts when discussing her historic swim from Cuba to Florida at the age of 64. She suffered lacerations in her mouth, jellyfish stings, and thrashing waves, yet Diana swam. And swam. And swam. Completing the over 100-mile swim in roughly 53 hours. Incredible.
Diana's words ring true to so many. The truth is, when you realize the fact that your life is worth competing for, you'll find the resolve to press onward. You'll refuse to let a closed door stop you. And you'll be damned if the idea of giving up ever crosses your mind again. You'll be hit with adversity. You'll step back and say "I'll compete." And then you go at it to find a way.
Never give up. Find a way. Compete Every Day.
Skip to the 5:30 mark to hear Diana's inspirational words:

5. You may now use your entire keyboard to keybind anything and everything wherever your heart desires
If you dont have a 5-button mouse, think about getting one. they really make a difference

First Gun
I'd like to say that it was a fine gun, but it wasn't. I'd like to say that by the time it reached me it had accumulated a long history of bird hunting memories, but it hadn't. There had never been a classic sporting bird-hunting tradition in my family. Just the dirt-poor migrant worker's tradition of potting whatever small-game they could in order to eat, and the gun reflected the harsh reality of that tradition beautifully.
It was a starkly plain break-barrel single-shot exposed-hammer .410 made by the Bridge Gun Company. No graceful lines, just purely functional American Gothic in firearms form. There wasn't even a real Bridge Gun Company. It was just one of the many cheaply-made "hardware store" brands produced and sold by Crescent Arms in the late 19th and on through the early years of the 20th centuries, and true-to-form this gun's countenance spoke not of gentrified easy living, but hardscrabble desperation; of spending precious pennies on a few loose shells so maybe – if you were lucky – you could eat rabbit one night instead of cornpone and beans.
My great-grandmother purchased the gun, almost certainly second-hand, in California's Imperial Valley sometime in the early 1930s, soon after making the trek from Oklahoma, along with all those other Okies, exodusters, tin-can tourists and Hooverville residents fleeing drought and depression. My people.
Years later, my great-grandmother told my father she bought the gun because on the way to California – on that endless, hot, dusty, heartbreak-littered 66 highway – she kept seeing jackrabbits off in the distance, just out of rock-chunking range, dancing away in the heat waves as the hunger knots in her stomach tightened. And she swore, standing lean and gaunt and bitter on the side of that road, that if they ever made it California, she wasn't going hungry again.
She was a woman true to her word, and for the next 40 years or so that old .410 supplied various members of my clan with meat. I do not recall how or when it made its way to Oklahoma, but sometime in the late 1960s it was given to my father. And in 1980, my father pulled it out of the closet for me.
I remember thinking it was about the coolest damn thing I'd ever seen. Plain stock (probably birch, if I recall) with no checkering, and the finish and blueing were long-gone, replaced by the patina of time and hard use. But it locked up tight and when you pulled the hammer back, it clicked into position with a sound of finality. I'd never shot a real gun before and I'd never been hunting with anything other than a BB gun. Then, as now, there's wasn't much leisure time for the lower working class, so when I roamed the woods it was usually alone while my dad was off under the hood of a truck or later, in the oilfield.
But I had a gun now, and with it the whispering promise of future days afield and who knows, maybe even a dog when I got a little older. I was voraciously consuming the "Big Three" hunting mags by this age and I dreamed more than anything of quail hunting behind dogs, a tradition of which my family was completely bereft.
But forces beyond my nine-year-old comprehension were at work, and as it turns out, I went hunting with that .410 exactly once, on a clear, cold December Saturday with my father as we stomped around the scrub oak along the back fence of our place, hoping to kick up the covey I knew hung out back there. I remember the rise, the whirring egg-beater sound of their wings. I remember lifting the gun to my shoulder, poking the barrel in the general vicinity of the main body of the covey and yanking back on the trigger, and then wondering why nothing was happening, why it wasn't shooting even as I heard my father's gun go off. I had, of course, forgotten to pull the hammer back. I wanted to cry, but didn't. There would be other times, other opportunities.
It was the last time I would ever shoulder that gun. It would be my only contribution to its story. A few months later, my parents divorced and my father packed his things, fled to New Mexico. The gun went with him. It would, he said, be waiting for me when I was old enough to keep it on my own.
He stored the gun at my grandparent's house in Albuquerque. Not long after, one of my cousins snuck into their house and stole it, pawned it for drug money. It was never recovered.
I have my own guns now, and with each year they're slowly etching their own stories so that hopefully, when I give them to my sons, I will be giving something of myself as well. But I often think about that gun, that first and only hunt with my father, the quail I missed. I think about all the people in my family who must have used that gun before me. And I think about a hungry woman on the side of a two-lane highway, looking at jackrabbits dancing in the heat.
I hope that someone like me wandered into whatever dirty little pawn shop my gun ended up in and saw it sitting in the rack. And I hope they recognized that it had a story, even if they couldn't possibly know what that story was.

Great article man. Guns become part of your family. My Dad has a decent collection that will be mine someday, because I am sure that my sister will not want them. My uncle has supplied me with all my guns so far. All family heirlooms. Feels great to hunt with them, nothing fancy, but they all work.
Excellent article, thanks for sharing it.
That is a great article. My heart really goes out to your grandmother and the other dust bowl settlers that lived through the worst hard time. They took a risk by homesteading. They worked hard. They followed the advice that neighbors, extension and market prices gave them. A perfect storm of weather and economics blew away all their hopes and dreams. In any other place and time their work ethic and fortitude would pay large dividends. My first gun was a hand-me-down Stevens 20 gauge pump. I can't tell you how many times it jammed on follow up shots at deer and pheasants. In time I just considered it a single shot, and it made me a better hunter. Adversity forges character and resourcefulness, I am sure it was the same for "your people" that lived through the dust bowl.

Steve Pardue is one of the better-known college football scouts in Georgia — less than two months after being hired by Kentucky.
Pardue is easily recognizable in the state's inner circle of high school coaches because he was part of it for so long.
Pardue resigned in November after 17 years as LaGrange High's coach. After unexpectedly landing his first college job as an SEC assistant a month later, Pardue got another surprise when he started to travel across the state to recruit players for Kentucky.
"I was thinking about that the other day," Pardue said with a laugh. "I've been to about 25-30 high schools in Georgia [during the recent recruiting period] and the funny thing is that I have yet to meet a new coach. Everywhere I've been, I've known the head coach.
"And I didn't pick the schools, Kentucky's

Hey Nick,
Everything seems to be working fine within 7.10 - i rolled it out to all users and no complaints so far!
When i load up the setup.aspx file - the first page has a Checks section with "IIS7 Intergated Pipeline", "Services Activated" and "App_Data Write Accss[sic]" - but they are all followed by fat red crosses.
Any ideas?
Also, the myfiles-users.txt in the <appdata> folder used to write each user to a seperate line, but they are now all just written to the same line with no spacing. No idea what that is used for or if it is important.. i was just using it to see who had clicked for the beta view on MyFiles:)

The stylish SkyFi boombox delivers XM satellite radio on the go--but nothing else.
Awkward design and controls mar this otherwise full-featured XM Radio all-in-one boombox.
Though the Philips GoGear SA4010 and SA4020 cost $10 to $20 less than their competition, they sacrifice valuable functionality. For those with razor-sharp budgets, this Philips GoGear SA4000 series delivers decent design and basic functions, but consider paying a little more for a much more robust player.
If you're looking for a cheap way to entertain the kids on a road trip to Dullsville, the Philips GoGear SA6185 should work out fine. Grown-ups, however, deserve a more substantive gadget.

The Delphi XM Roady2 has everything you need for in-car use and an attractively small shape as well.

The Graphire3 is worth its steep price if you're heavily into editing digital images; otherwise, stick with a mouse.

With one easy payment of 1 million trillion your couch goes to college dollars.
Please send to the moon or my Jeep or my dog.
This is not a joke. You're not being at all clever. It's dark and I'm alone and you're bigger than I am. Probably stronger. So when you cruise by and say, "Hey baby, you don't need to call me, I'm already here" and "Your ride's here, baby girl", you're nothing to me but another threat — another obstacle between me and my way home. But you get pissed off because I refuse to laugh. Well, I don't have to smile. I don't fucking owe you my goddamn smile. My smile is not some fucking peace treaty between us. Your attempt at humorous flirtation is gross and misplaced. Get lost.
There are nights that I dream — tightly locked up inside the nightmare, sweat-drenched, needle-stabbing dread — that they will find me. That they will follow me home, lie in wait. That I will wake up to being seized, big hands gripping my arms. Weakened and alone. They have found me. The man with the round black sunglasses laughs and laughs. His face looks like a skull, those empty black sockets.
Some days I worry —
— that my luck will run out.
That the group of tall wannabe toughs blocking my path to the bus stop won't always play nice when I cheekily say, no, I won't give them sugar, and no, I won't come back so they can get a better look at the color of my hair. I wish I wasn't wearing my high heels as I walk away from them.
That the spacey dude with dreads won't be so pleasant when I sweetly say I won't accept his number, and no, I am not giving him mine. He says with a smile he will find me at the shop I work at. I let TLC run through my head while pretending I don't feel queasy dread at the idea of running into him again.
That the fierce stranger won't be there for me on the MAX, silently lending me strength while I get shit-talked by a 41 year old man. She locks eyes solemnly with me as if saying she will be my comrade if this creep decides to get physical. He insults my nose and my body and calls me racist because I repeatedly refuse to tell him where I live or where I am going. She tells him off. I have gone numb with surprise, realizing I am re-living the shame I once felt in middle school and little white boys used me as their verbal whipping post — a degradation free-for-all. I want to scream: "I'm not even white, you piece of shit! I just don't want to fuck you!" When she gets off at a stop, he immediately reaches for my hair as the train starts up again. I think of Mia Zapata and shove off his hands, bolting to stand by the nearest exit. He doesn't pursue me, even looks momentarily confused by how long he has sustained this harassment. I am relieved when he turns his back on me, but then I see him take the small vial out of his coat. I have a very private terror at the idea of acid attacks. Rationally, I realize the likelihood of one is zero, but even if it's water, I am gone as soon as the MAX doors slide open. I look over my shoulder, to see him suddenly twist and splash the spot where I stood. His timing was wrong. My instincts were right. I got lucky.
What's the point? I want women to see and be seen. I want women to feel. And understand. Women who feel alone. Women who actually are alone. Women and girls laughing, together or at each other. Holding hands. Crying, raging, afraid, loving, kissing. They kill, they torture. There are women who aren't allowed to be women. And women with daughters and sons. Despairing. Dying women. Fucking. Creating works of art. Drinking coffee. Getting drunk. Waking up. Women singing. They are defiant. They are selfish. They are selfless. Women being beaten and murdered. Religious. Witchy. Warriors. Women who feel ignored and are ignored. Granddaughters. Women aging. Lovers. Leaders. Uncontrolled. Barren. Empowered. Silly. Women with red hair. Women with black skin. Women with no sight. Cruel women. Women curious about the world. Charming, strong, sensual, hideous, crude, awkward, simple, violent, ugly — human. The point is that we exist. We weren't and aren't someone's most senior wife, someone's queen mother, someone's slave, some footnote-fucking-blip in history, some unusual woman who did a "manly" thing. Women — living and dying in a world that is ours too.

For tiny burials of white clover
And waiting for worms to greet the moon

Good news for Mac users today, Apple has announced the release of OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion as a preview for developers. But it seems that Apple is dropping more than the developer preview today, they are also dropping 'Mac' before OSX, so releases are now simply called OSX. Released under the tagline, "Inspired by iPad. Re-imagined for Mac," Apple's newest OS release brings a lot of familiar functionality from iOS mobile devices to the desktop environment. Read on to find out more about OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Some of the key features in Mountain Lion include increased iCloud support, Messages, Reminders, Notes, Notification Center, Share Sheets, Twitter, Game Center, AirPlay Mirroring and Gatekeeper.
One of the most interesting features is the new 'Messages' application that comes with Mountain Lion. Say goodbye to iChat for good, because Apple is integrating all messaging functionality into this new application that allows users to communicate for free with iMessage users on mobile devices. "And you can start a conversation on your Mac and pick it up on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. So nothing is left unsaid." One of the best things about Messages is that it's available now in Beta for OSX users to demo before Mountain Lion is officially released this summer. Interested users can download it here.
With the inclusion of Reminders and Notes in OSX, users will have access to all their tasks and memos across all OS platforms using integrated iCloud syncing to keep it always up-to-date.
A great new feature in Mountain Lion is the inclusion of the Notification Center from iOS 5. The Notification Center makes use of notification banners, which "appear on your desktop and disappear quickly so they don't interrupt what you're doing."
Share Sheets is another feature coming from iOS that allows users to quickly share content from many applications, including Mail and Messages, links, video and even photos directly from Photo Booth. It's also important to mention the the social network of choice from iOS, Twitter, has made its way over to OSX as well. With Mountain Lion, Twitter integration is deep, and allows users to quickly Tweet from "Safari, iPhoto, or Photo Booth with the new Tweet Sheet."
Of course this is only a taste of the features that will be included in the OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion release. Developers can download the preview today here.
What do you think of Apple pulling in so many iOS features to the desktop OS?

"Flu Frenzy" is rampant in Dallas, where I practice, and across the country. It's certainly been a very busy flu season and one that started earlier than usual in the southern part of the country. Texas has been hit especially hard. I started seeing flu cases in my office at the end of October.
We've been lucky for several years with light flu outbreaks, so this year's tough flu season seems especially bad. Fortunately, the majority of children I'm seeing with flu symptoms are handling the virus very well (like many childhood viruses) and actually don't appear to be too sick.
Typically, the children I'm treating are running 2-4 days of fever, many running temperatures as high as 102 or 103 degrees, which is not unusual with the flu. They have coughs, congestion and scratchy throats. Older kids are also complaining of feeling "achy." But they are still drinking fluids, appear well hydrated, and when their temps come down with the help of acetaminophen or ibuprofen, they're able to play, watch movies, or even run around the waiting room. With a practice of 13 pediatricians, we've seen literally hundreds of kids with the flu (both types A and B) but haven't had to hospitalize any of them.
Parents should always watch their children for respiratory distress or prolonged fever, but most children may be treated symptomatically. Remember, fever is your friend, and higher temps don't necessarily mean a sicker child.
While 29 pediatric deaths have been reported to date, due to secondary complications from the flu (even one death is too many), the majority of people developing serious complications from the flu are elderly. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms that this winter "is shaping up to be a worse than average season and is especially bad for the elderly."
The best way to prevent the flu is to make sure any child over the age of 6 months gets a flu vaccine. With the early start of flu season, and the fact that many people are now heading out to get vaccinated, the vaccine given to children from 6 months and 2 years old has become harder to find. The live flu mist vaccine given to healthy children over 2 years old seems to be more readily available. Call your doctor to check on availability.
Historically, we still have 6 to 8 weeks of flu season to go, so if your child is not yet vaccinated, get busy! While it's not guaranteed to prevent the flu, it's definitely the best protection available.

I actually agree with this to a certain extent.
It's certainly not applicable to the argument when it comes to Heroic raiding, and with LFR, I would say that we now have a means of making encounters to an "entry level" without making normal mode "entry level" as well.
However, since I feel that raids have been, should be and must be a continuous learning curve, I would like to see a change to what defines a good, bad, average and awful tank.
For me, it should be as follows;
Awful tank - Doesn't pay much attention to what's going on. Often dies due to poor CD usage and unable to maintain threat because all they do is autoattack.
Bad tank - Mostly has timing issues. Slow to react, but at least they're trying. Don't understand the encounter enough.
Average tank - Good at keeping themselves alive, easing the job of "their" healers, utilises raid mechanics well enough to get some advantage
Good tank - Expert at CD timing, pays special attention to their co-tank, uses raid mitigation at the best moments, looks ahead of the raid's mechanics to maximise progress on a boss
Something like that. That way, learning to tank in normal isn't a wipefest, being average doesn't get you benched and being awesome simply means you spend less time on an encounter once it has been mastered.
Tanking in 5 mans should be easy for sure. Tanking in 5 man heroics should be engaging at the very least - not boring.
Tanking in LFR should be easy too (though honestly the queue in there is the longest for tanks and making encounters more interesting to tank wouldn't affect LFR tank population too badly, it may actually help streamline queue times).
But like Paul says, tanking in raids should have a difficulty progression from the first boss to the last.
I love tanking, I am sure there are many other tanks like me who play 2 - 4 tanking classes. Making tanking extremely easy may encourage players who have never tanked before to give it a go but it does nothing for retaining tanks who already love their role. I did a full clear of DS10 on my bear and have not queued again for DS on it. Just no desire to tank. The same for my warrior. So now I go and arena or bg instead because for me tanking this tier is supremely yawn inspiring.
And if I want to raid, I go and heal or dps instead as there is something beyond mindlessly spamming my "rotation" in those roles. Tanking needs to be engaging. Hopefully the active tanking model in MoP will add some stuff for us to do, but the issue will be the same - if a bad tank gets splattered and only good tanks survive, then either the difficulty will be such that only good tanks succeed or it will be such that everyone succeeds and the seasoned tanks get bored.
I don't envy Blizzard this balancing act. I just think they need to make raid tanking more challenging. The tank shortage has always been at the 5 man level, not at the raid level.

Spanish Speakers assist PA class
Carpenter instructed the Spanish speakers to refrain from using any English while some of her students attempted to ask them typical exam questions. She wished to instill within her students the understanding of the importance of knowing the language and culture of their patients.
The class, a required course in Trevecca's Physician's Assistant Program, introduces physician assistant students to medical Spanish and to Hispanic culture. By providing instruction in taking a health history, conducting a physical exam, and educating the Spanish speaking patients in their language and their cultural context, the student also learns how this improves their access to health care.

Rebecca Warlow — Supervisor for Digitization and Description at the National Archives and Records Administration
The Census Bureau's release of data from the 1940 Census is drawing a lot of traffic to its website. It's the first time census information has been posted online for researchers to use all over the world. Rebecca Warlow, the supervisor for digitization and description at the National Archives and Records Administration, told Francis the digitization process was especially complicated because of the types of materials developers had to work with.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 06.25.2010
- Real GDP
- First quarter real GDP was revised down yet again, from an annualized gain of 3.0 percent in the first quarter to 2.7 percent during the third estimate. The lower estimate was largely due to an upward revision to imports and a downward revision to consumption that was partially offset by upward adjustments to exports and inventories. Personal consumption rose 3.0 percent during the first quarter according to the third estimate, 0.6 percentage point below the BEA's initial guess, but still its largest quarterly gain since 2007:Q1. Business investment weakened slightly during the revision, from a 3.1 percent to a 2.2 percent increase in the first quarter, as both equipment and structures were revised lower. The swing in inventories (from a slight loss in the fourth quarter to accumulation in the first quarter) was revised up by 0.2 percentage points, now adding 1.9 percentage points to growth in the first quarter. Net exports subtracted 0.8 percentage points from growth (in GDP calculation), as imports outpaced export growth in the first quarter. Final sales of real GDP—which subtract out inventories and thus give us a purer read on demand—were revised down from 1.4 percent to 0.8 percent in the first quarter, a little less than half of the fourth quarter's gain of 1.7 percent. Final sales to domestic purchasers (a read on domestic demand), which rose 1.6 percent in the first quarter, after a 1.4 percent gain in the fourth. Both measures are trending slightly above 1.0 percent over the past four quarters, well below "trend" growth.

Comments about Mens Saucony Hurricane 16 Running Shoe:
Very comfortable shoe, that keeps my back from aching. They look pretty sporty, not too splashy and I would rather wear them than any other shoes I have. The only negative comment I would make about them is that they wear out in the fore foot quicker than i would like. This is my 3rd pair so I am pretty satisfied with them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Californian fusion of fun, funk and sex retains its signature heat
By Michael Shilling
Special to MSN Music
When they first appeared on the music scene in the mid-'80s, acting like psychedelic fraternity clowns, few would have predicted that the Red Hot Chili Peppers would scale the top of the rock peak and warrant entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But on a unique combination of melodic speed-blues bravado, surfer sex appeal, bass-slapping pop hookery and the bare-chested tongue-wagging riff-rap charisma of singer Anthony Kiedis, this quartet from the darkest funk jungles of Los Angeles have more than earned their right to stand with the other inductees on April 14.
Though the Chili Peppers have had a lot of members on the periphery, the core of the group -- singer Kiedis and bassist Michael Balzary, or "Flea," as he is commonly known -- has been consistent throughout. The two met at Fairfax High School in West Hollywood, and in the early '80s began playing music with friends Hillel Slovak on guitar and Jack Irons on drums. Though the band certainly tipped their musical hat to punk rock, they were integral in forming a music scene that ran to some degree as an antidote to the L.A. punk scene of the time, sharing stages and artistic kinship with bands such as Fishbone and Jane's Addiction.
After signing with EMI, the band released their self-titled debut in 1984 to little fanfare, but on their next album, the George Clinton-produced "Freaky Styley" from 1985, the Chili Peppers began to attract national attention. It was hard to tell if they were a funk band that played rock or a rock band that played funk, but it was mesmerizing either way. The band toured relentlessly and became known for their wild, scantily clad stage shows -- in particular a certain phallocentric use of the tube sock -- as well as a ceaseless party-hearty ethos that resulted in significant problems with controlled substances. By the time their third album came out, 1987's utterly magnificent "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan," both Kiedis and Slovak were battling heroin addiction. It was a battle that Slovak, sadly, lost, passing away on June 25, 1988, from an overdose.
More: Red Hot Chili Peppers release free EP
Because Slovak was such an integral part of the band, his death put the Chili Peppers' future in doubt. Traumatized by the tragedy, drummer Irons quit, and Kiedis went into full retreat, so devastated that he was unable to even attend Slovak's funeral. Ultimately, he and Flea decided to continue on, enlisting drummer Chad Smith and guitar player/prodigy John Frusciante, who was all of 19 upon becoming a Chili Pepper. The band's first effort, 1989's "Mother's Milk," made significant inroads on the pop charts with their cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." However, it was in 1991, with their next offering, the Rick Rubin-produced "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," that the band achieved mass popularity -- in America alone the record has sold over 7 million copies. The track list is full of such classics as "Suck My Kiss," "Give It Away" and the totemic "Under the Bridge," a song well-known for its video of Kiedis running in slow motion at the camera, looking as buff as the nearest Versace model. And yes, it's also a great song.
Despite the band's success, the lineup took another hit when Frusciante left in the middle of the world tour to support "BSSM." Into the void stepped Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction, who was integral in the shift to a darker sound on 1995's "One Hot Minute." Though the album sold over 8 million copies worldwide, personal differences led to Navarro's departure in 1998. The band was then able to convince Frusciante to rejoin, and the result was "Californication."
The band's creative and commercial high-water mark, "Californication" demonstrated a true leap forward for the band. The record combined their "putting the 'fun' back in funk" vibe with an emotional maturity, lyrical complexity and streamlined pop-rock song structure. The record sold 14 million copies worldwide, spurred by such tracks as "Scar Tissue," "Californication" and "Otherside," all of which are modern rock radio staples. Basically, if you're a teenager in the 21st century, you know "Californication" the way that teens of the 1970s knew "Led Zeppelin IV" and teens in the '80s knew Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction." On the strength of the record, the Chili Peppers then spent the aughts as arena rock standard-bearers, releasing two more albums, 2002's "By the Way" and 2006's aptly titled "Stadium Arcadium." Recently, they've had a change of guitar players once again, as Frusciante again left the band in 2009. Josh Klinghoffer, who was initially brought in 2007 as a second guitar player for touring, became an official member of the band that year. He made his studio debut on "I'm With You," which came out in 2011.
When Klinghoffer takes the stage with the rest of the Chili Peppers, which for the night will include former members such as Frusciante and drummer Irons, he'll be the youngest inductee into the Hall of Fame at 32. This seems fitting, because no band is as eternally youthful as the Chili Peppers. Kiedis, Flea and Smith may be well into their 40s, but they still rock with an energy that rockers half their age find hard to match.
Michael Shilling is a recovering rock musician and the author of "Rock Bottom," a novel. He lives in Seattle, where he is a teacher, writer and editor.

Nov. 25, 2008 -- A consumer watchdog group is urging parents to avoid buying
soft plastic toys this holiday season because of a risk that the toys may
contain toxic chemicals.
Toys containing the chemicals, called phthalates, can no longer be
manufactured or imported after February 2009, according to a product safety law
that passed Congress over the summer.
But the group says the Consumer Product Safety Commission is allowing the
toy industry to circumvent the law. The agency wrote a letter last week telling
manufacturers they can still sell their existing stocks of phthalate-containing
toys even after the ban takes effect in February.
"They're giving the industry a loophole," says Liz Hitchcock, a
public health advocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S.
Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to soften vinyl and other plastics.
Congress banned use of the chemicals in toys because of evidence they can have
health effects including early puberty, reproductive defects, and lower sperm counts
in boys.
U.S. PIRG offered the following tips for avoiding unsafe toys:
The new law stands to increase the budget and personnel at the Consumer
Product Safety Commission and give the agency tougher recall authority.
The agency's move on phthalates sparked angry reactions from several
Democratic members of Congress, who accused the Bush Administration of avoiding
the intent of the new law.
Julie Vallese, a Consumer Products Safety Commission spokeswoman, says that
the agency was not trying to give toy makers a way out of meeting new rules on
phthalates. She said the wording of the law sets new standards for phthalates
but does not automatically ban their sale in toys.
"Where U.S. PIRG's criticism should be is on Congress. If they don't
like the language that they used, Congress has the authority to fix it,"
Vallese tells WebMD.
Joan Lawrence, vice president for safety standards and regulatory affairs
for the Toy Industry Association, defends the industry's safety record.
"The industry has been massively inspecting and testing toys since last
year and government has too," she says. "The fact is, there are just
far fewer issues. There's strong science that says phthalates are safe as used
in toys."
Lawrence is critical of advice to avoid purchasing soft plastic toys. "I
don't know that that's helpful for parents," she says. "Many soft toys
don't contain pthalates, so parents will be avoiding a lot of toys for no
