Southern California rock band Bad Suns formed in 2012 and in the short time since inception, have managed to be musically beyond their years. Made up of Christo Bowman (vocals), Gavin Bennett (bass), Miles Morris (drums) and Ray Libby (guitar) the four piece ranges from ages 19-22 yet has a sound reminiscent of rock stalwarts from generations past. "I grew up with a lot of world music playing in the house. When I was 10, I started getting heavily interested in the guitar, and my dad began introducing me to his records from the 70's and the 80's. Initially Elvis Costello, then to The Clash, The Cure, and so on," notes Christo. "All of these artists and bands had a big impact on me, at a young age, as far as song composition goes. "
The band's debut EP (January 2014) Transpose was recorded in the studio with producer Eric Palmquist (The Mars Volta, Wavves, Trash Talk) and served as a prelude to the band's debut full-length (also produced by Palmquist) which hit streets on June 24, 2014. "The writing and recording process is always exciting, because it's constantly changing and unique to each song. Inspiration comes and goes as it pleases, so a night when a song gets written is a very good night," says Christo. Comprised of eleven tracks, Language & Perspective flows effortlessly from start to finish showcasing the band's stadium ready anthems and undeniably catchy hooks. "Music has the ability to evoke certain feelings in people, a way that not much else can. The pairing of words and sounds can be an extremely powerful tool, when done right. I think the ultimate goal for this band is to make music that causes people to really feel something."
2014 proved to be quite busy for Bad Suns, who in a very short time have performed the first single, 'Cardiac Arrest,' on Conan and the track hit #13 on Alt Radio Charts, and #11 on AAA charts. They've toured with likes of The 1975, Fitz and the Tantrums, Vaccines and Geographer to name a few. "It's pretty incredible what you can accomplish with time, work, and patience. Playing our songs to receptive audiences, across the country, has been surreal for us; it's what we've always dreamed of. We're excited for people to hear the album that we've made, and then come experience it in a live setting," says Bowman. "One day I just decided to be a musician, and I never strayed away from that goal. Being in a band is the only thing I could do."

Since quietly making his debut album, Break Mirrors, which critics hailed as one of the best albums of 2010, Mills has been consistently busy. He produced the highly acclaimed sophomore album Sound & Color for The Alabama Shakes, which reached #1 on Billboard charts and was nominated for six Grammy's, winning Best Alternative Album, Best Engineered Album, Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. He has worked as a producer with a wide variety of others as well, including ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Sara Watkins, Conor Oberst, Sky Ferreira, and Fiona Apple, with whom he toured extensively in 2013 and 2014. Currently he is producing upcoming albums for John Legend, Dawes and Laura Marling.
As a session player and sideman he has worked with Beck, Cass McCombs, Jackson Brown, Lucinda Williams, Moses Sumney and Neil Diamond, among others. Rick Rubin and T Bone Burnett frequently call upon his services as a guitarist, and equally enamored is Eric Clapton who recently told Rolling Stone magazine "Blake Mills is the last guitarist I heard that I thought was phenomenal."

Dan "The Automator" Nakamura is one of the most celebrated and successful music producers of our time. The Automator sound is unique, but often imitated; an eclectic yet deliberate storm of burr and jangle, spattering off slow-grinding plates of rhythmic bedrock and slashed through with unexpected flashes of light and heat. It's the sound of new creation; the sound of the end of the world. It has sent acts like Gorillaz, Cornershop and Kasabian to the top of the charts, and it has turned visionaries like Kool Keith and Del tha Funkee Homosapien into underground legends.
Inspired by the soul and R&B music he heard on a neighbor's radio, he began collecting records, and eventually, to DJing at parties in order to support his vinyl obsession. In high school, after hearing Malcolm McLaren and World's Famous Supreme Team's early dance/hiphop collaboration "D'Ya Like Scratchin'," Nakamura began experimenting with turntablism, until an encounter with two emerging superstars — DJ Qbert and Mix Master Mike — led him to realize he'd never be able to reach their pinnacle of ability. He turned his talents instead to producing new beats for DJs to cut, scratch and mix, converting a basement storage area in his parents' home to his first studio, The Glue Factory.
The cramped workspacealso became a second home for other Bay Area indie hiphop visionaries, notably Josh Davis, Xavier Mosley and Tom Shimura, who — as DJ Shadow, Chief Xcel and Lyrics Born — would form the seminal Bay Area rap collective Solesides.
After a chance encounter with Keith Thornton, better known as Kool Keith of the Ultramagnetic MCs, Nakamura collaborated with Keith on the critically acclaimed indie rap album Dr. Octagon (1996), whose cult success gave Nakamura a deserved reputation as a musical visionary. Requests for his services began to come in from all corners: He lent his talents to the obscure but brilliant British raga-pop group Cornershop — mining a shared love of Bollywood and filmi music — and the album he produced, When I Was Born for the 7th Time (1997), hit #5 on the Billboard Heatseekers album charts and spawned multiple hit singles, including the lyrical "Brimful of Asha." He produced Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's album Acme and remixed tracks for groups ranging from Pizzicato Five and Cibo Matto to Depeche Mode, Air and old friend Mix Master Mike.
In 1999, he and De La Soul producer Prince Paul formed a group called Handsome Boy Modeling School on a whim, playing fictional personas "Nathaniel Merriweather" (Nakamura) and "Chest Rockwell" (Paul). Their album So…How's Your Girl? (1999) became a breakout hit, and was named Spin magazine's #2 album of the year. The album brought also him together with two of his most frequent collaborators, Eric "DJ Kid Koala" San and Teren Delvon James, better known as Del Tha Funkee Homosapien.
Their subsequent project remains one of his most remarkable artistic achievements: The indie rap milestone Deltron 3030 (2000) — still one of the decade's most critically acclaimed underground hiphop albums.
Deltron 3030 led Blur frontman Damon Albarn, a guest vocalist on the album, to invite Nakamura to produce a novel project he'd been planning with designer and graphic novelist Jamie Hewlett. The following year, the project came to two-dimensional life as Gorillaz, a "virtual band" whose lineup featured Nakamura as producer, Del providing lyrics and flow (notably on the album's biggest hit, "Clint Eastwood") and Kid Koala on turntables. The self-titled album Gorillaz (2001) was hailed as an alternative rock landmark; it has sold over 8 million copies to date.
Following the success of Gorillaz, Nakamura released Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By (2001) under the name Lovage, with vocals by Faith No More's Mike Patton and Elysian Fields' Jennifer Charles and the second Handsome Boy Modeling School album, White People, while working extensively with European artists like French pop diva Anais Croze and UK swag-rock band Kasabian, as well as British jazz-pop prodigy Jamie Cullum, for whom he produced the two lead singles on his new album Momentum. ("I'm not opposed to making hits — over the past five years, I've produced two number-one hits in France and three in the UK," says Nakamura. "I'm just opposed to the way they're made here in the U.S., where you get three days in the studio and you're told to make a hit song. And I feel that that's selling the artist short; it's selling the music short.")
Recent projects include:
Deltron 3030: Event II
Got a Girl, Nakamura's sweet and sharply carbonated collaboration with actress-chanteuse Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Smashed; The Spectacular Now), which Nakamura says is about "romanticism — not romance, as in relationships and breakups, but about the romantic lifestyle."

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is a 10-piece musical ensemble founded in 2007 during the yearlong recording of their first album, Up From Below. Disillusionment with his major label experience with Ima Robot drove founding singer-songwriter Alex Ebert to maintain a DIY recording ethos. "Un-professionalizing professionalism is my profession," he recently quipped at a show. Considered pioneers of the folk-pop revival, the band's self-produced albums have experienced some popular success (plus one platinum song, "Home").
It is the band's live shows, however, that have seen them celebrated by fans and critics alike. Often likened to "a religious experience," many of their live shows have taken place in unusual venues (cathedrals, circus tents, underground train depots – even off of trains themselves, as seen in their Grammy-winning documentary Big Easy Express). Their shows are performed without set lists and their songs usually undergo spontaneous improvisation, with Ebert spending a portion of the show singing amongst the crowd. "Our shows give us a chance to break the barriers between ourselves – to 'break the glass ceiling' as we say."
Since its founding, the band has undergone several iterations. Most notably, singer Jade Castrinos left the band in 2014. According to lead singer Ebert, this marked a transformation in the band's music. "We had long been a social experiment first, musicians second. Over time, though, we were emerging, by virtue of hours spent, into a group of musicians who could really play together. When Jade left, that confirmed our new fate – music first."
The shift is tangible in the band's 4th studio album (set for release in the spring of 2016). Recording the music almost entirely in one room together in New Orleans, their approach was a far cry from their ramshackle, come-one-come-all production audible on recordings of their previous albums. "We seem to be done for now with distractions from the music itself, the bones of it," says Ebert. This album also marks the first time that the band has jointly collaborated on a majority of the songwriting.
The band's members are Mark Noseworthy, Orpheo McCord, Josh Collazo, Christian Letts, Nico Aglietti, Seth Ford-Young, Mitchell Yoshida, Christopher Richard, Stewart Cole, and Alex Ebert.
Every one of its members has their own "solo" projects outside of the group. Most recently, Letts and Richard (aka "Crash") released albums and Ebert won a Golden Globe for Best Original Score for All Is Lost.
The band also operates Big Sun, a non-profit focused on funding and developing co-ops and land trusts in urban areas around the world. Their first large-scale project, "Avalon Village," is in Highland Park (within Detroit), Michigan.

On a pecan farm half a mile from the Mexican border, 'Post Tropical' was born – a collection of sounds and ideas brought to life in rooms where the low frequencies of passing freight trains vibrated in the studio, briefly disturbing the birds in the rafters. And like most new ideas, 'Post Tropical' is hard to describe. It requires attention and engagement. It seduces you towards hidden depths.
McMorrow's acclaimed debut album, 'Early in the Morning', reached number 1, went platinum and picked up a Choice Music Prize nomination upon its release in 2010. Along the way, there were shows everywhere from the Royal Festival Hall to Later…with Jools Holland, and a breakout hit in the charity cover of Steve Winwood's 'Higher Love'. McMorrow's first record was the formative sounds of a songwriter who suddenly found people giving a damn. "I'm so proud of that album, but I never longed to be a guy with a guitar. You play these songs live as best you can, and suddenly you're a Folk musician. But the texture of this record is completely different. This is the kind of stuff I actually listen to."
Wiping the palate of 'Early in the Morning' clean, Post Tropical' is a stunning piece of work. Its broadened horizons may come as a surprise to everyone but James and the people who know him best. "I found a zip drive recently, which dates back to before I made my first record, and I'd re-recorded every single part of the N.E.R.D album – apart from the vocals – just for the joy of it. I wanted to give this record the feel and movement of the hip-hop records that I love."
It's a step forward that is immediately apparent on album opener and first single 'Cavalier' – a brooding twist on the Slow-Jam, which builds quietly from hushed keys and hand-claps to soaring brass, drums and McMorrow's idiosyncratic falsetto. Across the album, new sounds and textures are explored: 808s on the haunting 'Red Dust', looped piano on 'Look Out', and the waterfall-effect of 12 mandolins on 'The Lakes'. McMorrow's sometimes-surreal songwriting holds each element in place, an album on which he wrote, produced, and played virtually every instrument.
The framework of 'Post Tropical' was constructed over eight months. Coming home from tour, James had hundreds of sound files, none categorised. Pages and pages of lyrics were crossed out and edited. Nothing was written on guitar, and nothing was linear. Yet the recording itself took place on a pecan farm half a mile from the Mexican border – which the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Animal Collective and At The Drive In have all called home at one point. The constraints of three and a half weeks here offered McMorrow a surprising amount of freedom. Sounds were created and changed and painstakingly poured over. The process was up for grabs, right up to the mixing stage.
What emerged was 'Post Tropical' – complete with the paradoxical, 'wish-you-were-here postcard' artwork (juxtaposing a palm tree with a polar bear). "It's so exhausting trying to keep up with styles of music that pop up one week, and disappear the next," says James. "For me, 'Post Tropical' evokes a style of music without you having a clue what it sounds like. It's warm and familiar, but there's something there that's maybe not quite what you think it is. I just wanted to make the most beautiful thing that I could imagine. And that was it."

Community Music/Vagrant Records
London-born Christian Letts returned to his native countryside to record his first LP, Hold Fast, with his friend and collaborator Marcus Mumford who produced the record. Hold Fast will be released on February 17, 2015, on Community Music/Vagrant Records. Other friends from their respective bands (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Mumford and Sons) joined them at the farm, where, over the course of two consecutive Januaries, they crafted the ten tracks that comprise Hold Fast. The release will coincide with a series of art exhibits of Letts' paintings and watercolors throughout the United States and Europe.
Letts is a songwriter, singer, painter and sculptor. Across all mediums there is a common theme of overcoming darkness. The sea, the sky, the countryside, the people within and their strengths, weaknesses, successes and failures. Spirits and guardian angels, recurring dreams, the unseen forces that silently sway. He explores himself alongside and within these elements on Hold Fast.

ICES is a celebration of flight, levity, and the conviction that you can leave earth. You take wing in an airplane, you go to real places when you dream, you have out-of-body experiences, you get high, you lose yourself in someone else.
When we started work on these songs, I was beginning a gradual move to California, constantly traveling back and forth from New York. I was experimenting. I was falling in love. Our studio in the Hudson Valley was full of electronics and computers and the sounds of future ships sailing through the vastness of space, and I sometimes forgot where I was. The first songs we wrote were called "flying 1," then "flying 2," and so on, which eventually evolved into songs on the album. Flight became a metaphor for the ignition of the imagination. The process created a lightness in me, a freedom and positive energy that I'd never before felt or explored.
This recording session became a two year music and spiritual retreat with my psychic twin brother, Eliot. A private journey during which we abandoned old habits and familiar sounds. We got really geeky and experimented in our studio. We obsessed over sympathetic magic, "Ancient Aliens," and the NBA. We allowed everything we loved to find its way in: Persian percussion, hip-hop beats, lo-fi, hi-fi, Pakistani pop, Link Wray, Jason Pierce, gospel, dub. We developed new systems; we worked with synthesis, software, and samples; we became producers. The Hudson Valley was home base, but I wanted to keep flying. I wrote songs in California, recorded vocals in Atlanta, and worked with Clams Casino in Brooklyn.
Each song became a collage of times, places, and people. Most of them started in the Hudson Valley, where Eliot and I wrote and recorded vocals, guitars, synths, and beat ideas. We'd send those first incarnations to Clams Casino in New Jersey and then we'd meet up in Brooklyn to arrange the new parts together. We worked in the penthouse of the Wythe Hotel – a floating glass box , a blank slate. We'd set up our computer, mixing speakers, midi keyboards, and all our weird gear, plus thai food and red wine. We'd bring up one of our demos and we'd sit behind the midi keyboard and sift through sounds and ideas and beats and find new things together. After the Wythe Sessions we took different tracks to Woodstock and Los Angeles to layer in live drums and percussion, and I went to Atlanta to record final vocals. For the first time, Lia Ices felt like an inclusive project with its own identity, not just a name.
ICES as a whole is devoted to these certainties. While we have evolved, we are still animals. We respond to planets, patterns, and cycles. We require the sounds of our origins. We live in the future but stay bound to the primitive and primordial. We will always want tribe, we will always want rhythm, we will always need music to guide us into our deepest sense of what it means to be human. So we hear sounds from all over the planet in this album. We devour so much music, and with this album we allowed ourselves to claim bits from all of it.

Greenhouse Buta Pig Earphones
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video
We wish that GreenHouse had photographed these earbuds with a head so we could have seen just how ludicrous they look when in actual use. The Buta Earphones go in one ear and out the other and were designed to cut out extraneous noise. They have an impedance of 16 ohms, a playback frequency of 20Hz-20KHz, weigh only 17 grams, and have a 0.9m cable. Available in small, medium, and large, and in colors of pink, white, and black, you can pick up a pair for $35.99.

Family: You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em – so you might as well make a movie about them. That's exactly what Ron Howard did with Parenthood, which hit theaters on August 2, 1989.
The story of four siblings working to raise their children right and keep their sanity at the same time, this movie was (and still is) relatable to moms and dads of all generations. Since its release, Parenthood has gone on to inspire two different TV shows, and it serves as an adorable archive of big stars in their early years. In fact, one of Bryce Dallas Howard's first on-screen roles was an uncredited bit in her dad's ensemble comedy.
What about the other billed stars of Parenthood? Sadly, not all the actors are still with us today. Jason Robards, who played Parenthood's patriarch Frank, passed away in 2000, but most of the Buckman clan is still working in showbiz.
To celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, we put together a family reunion to see what Parenthood's main players are up to right now.

The Phipps Stable's Point of Entry will be making his
stakes debut in tomorrow's Curlin, but Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey is
hoping the Dynaformer colt is on the way to making his presence known in the
3-year-old division.
"I think everyone in the race is
at about the same point," said McGaughey of Point of Entry, 10-1 on the morning
line for the 1 1/8-mile Curlin. "I think Neil Howard's horse, Prime Cut, has
more experience than the rest of them, but we'll see what happens."
Point of Entry made his debut at

DEFINITION of 'IRS Publication 555'
A document published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that provides information to taxpayers who are married, live in a state supporting community property laws and are filing separate tax returns. Income and property is considered community if it is purchased or owned while the couple is married. All else is considered separate. Couples filing separately report half of their joint income and all of their separate income.
BREAKING DOWN 'IRS Publication 555'
Not all states treat community property the same way. IRS Publication 555 only addresses Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. If the tax payer's primary residence is in one of these states, or if residency has been established by voting or by paying state income tax, then community property rules are likely to apply.
Married taxpayers will typically have a lower tax obligation if a joint return is filed rather than an individual return, but this is not always the case.

and they still wont know exactly what hit them...lol...

oh my GOD i love this story so much! you're a fantastic writer and i cant wait for more!
| EmmiLuvsEdwardCullen chapter 2 . 12/7/2007
Very good, keep it up ;)
| Bribbie chapter 2 . 12/7/2007
Awe Edward hasn't had enough time to truley care for Rose yet, but he cares for her on some level... Geeze Rose HAD brothers you'd think she'd recognise the way they worked.
I still wonder about her relationship with Carlise and Esme. Like i said before, She and Esme have a common thread, the mother thing, but I'm not sure whether or not she blames Carlisle. I can't think of ANYONE ever disliking carlisle for any reason, he's such a nice guy, copassionate (obviously) and gentel and Like When Rose was telling Bella about her change, about the things Carlisle said, that tortured Savior thing he had, it's actually really cute. I couldn't imagine a sweeter father figure. So yeah... if you can... get to that, even if only breifly
So how long do you suppose they stayed in Rochester after Rose's "death"? like she has to have her revenge obviously, so she needs time to plan, to steal the wedding dress, to actually go and kill 7 people. Lot's to do. But I imagine they left shortly after she was done with that... problem with revenge is, it doesn't bring closure, it doesn't make it better, so I assume the story will go on long enough for her to realize this, and long enough for her to ACTUALLY heal, killing them may be what she wants now, but when it's all said and done, she'll prolly have one of those "what now?" moments... Emmett probably helped her heal, as much as was possible. As we know she still curses her fate. Hm... I wonder though...
So she didn't drink any of their blood, I'm sure that was a struggle, to be killing them and abstain from feeding. That'll be difficult, well thre's lots to do... lots to do...
I like this. I know i'd have trouble with Rose's pov, according to Edward she very often just thought about herself, her looks and what not, and about Emmett, but i know that she can't ONLY think about that... She'd be difficult to me, so i applaud you!
Well anyway, update soon!
Much love,

Poll: So after my 100 Different Pairings Competition is done would you rather have another Vote Now!
Author has written 23 stories for Harry Potter, Fairly OddParents, Victorious, and Simpsons.
Hello everyone, I am Anna, Annie, Anne, or any combination of those names. I love to read and write and when I found out about Fanfiction I thought that it would be perfect for somebody like me, combine two of my favorite passions.
If I'm not reading fanfiction stories than I am normally on a fanfiction forum, a Harry Potter Fanfiction Forum to be precise, called Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges. Just press it and it will lead you there.
There are so many nice and talented people on the forum, and a lot of addicting challenges and competitions to sign up for. Have you ever heard of Harry Potter Boot Camps? The Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges Forum is where it all started.
I love trying to write about minor characters more than major but I will write for both, some of my earlier work isn't as good as the work I'm doing now and I may edit the old stuff at a later date when I have more time.
I appreciate and love each and every review, favorite and alert. If I don't say thank you for your review(s) that doesn't mean that I haven't read it yet it may just mean that I'm too busy right now to say thank you. But I do appreciate them.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns or you just want to talk please pm me and I'll talk to you. :)
A big thank you for everyone who has given me support for my stories. Thank You!!!

A note for you and the Doctor: I am feeling good, better than in a long time. My hair is growing again, and my body pains are greatly reduced. I have been wearing a brace on my left knee for 6 years, and have not been able to do cardio for over a year. No more brace and I am back to doing cardio. My body pains are greatly reduced, buy at least 85%. I no longer need pain pills to go to sleep. Everything is better. Thank you.
Thank you for great service and a great product.
Upon signing up for your program, I have the following observations:
After some mental contortions converting Mgs to Mls…through no fault of Renew Youth Centers, I got on the program. By way of background, I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I've been taking various cocktails to alleviate the tremors associated with PD. While Sinemet and sister drugs go a long way to reduce the symptoms, those with the disease know it gets progressively worse. One of the accompanying symptoms is joint and muscle pain…such that movement becomes labored and taxing. You know you're asking for too much help when people see you coming and run away.
Looking for a solution, I came across Renew Youth Centers. After considerable discussion and becoming convinced that the organization was viable, not just another "Dr. Feelgood" organization, I ordered a two month's supply of the product best suited for my condition.
Three days ago, I ran out. You really notice the positive effect of something when it goes away. Specifically:
- A level of pain in movement returned which discourages physical activity and turns you immediately into a member of the sloth family
- Attitude goes from upbeat to discouragement
- Desire to accomplish things and be productive seems to be non-existent
- You slur words because it takes too much energy to talk in a normal voice
- Finally every time you pick something up, it's a yard sale. It seems you never get a grip strong enough to win the battle with gravity and that which you hold winds up on the floor.
I certainly don't wish to over dramatize or make light of these symptoms. Combined, they can be a killer. The constant in my treatment regimen has been the HGH. With the HGH, the symptoms above are gone. Without it, you'll live, or die with them. I am also aware that everyone reacts differently. Your results may be better or worse. I don't know. What I do know is that it works for me.
Renew Youth Centers makes the whole process flow smoothly. They were quick to re-supply when the situation demanded. They worked with me to assure the dosage was the correct amount which can be daunting because no matter the amount, you're always thinking, "I'm going to give myself an injection". Overcoming that mental barrier can be a challenge. I've seen Marines and Soldiers pass right out when someone else was doing the administration. They assured me the process would be painless, and it was.
What is unique is the fact that after they received payment for their services, their professional attention did not diminish. They still answered every call, every question and responded with additional product when the circumstances demanded.
Give them a shot. They'll give you one, and it'll give you your life back.
Michael B.
You have been a blessing to me. Patiently explaining, researching in depth, making the two of us feel as though we were your only clients. Thank you for all that you have provided over the years. Your are a true gift!
I'm doing great. Really glad I started this program. It's really been life changing.
It's nice to know that customer service is alive and well still. You have always been easy to talk to and I appreciate it. I fully support the use of testosterone treatments and whatever I can do to promote mens health. I will be in touch… Thanks again.
I'm significantly ahead of the power curve for being healthy and fit for my age group (I am 55). I lift weights 5 days a week. I do kick boxing 3 days a week and I squeeze in 2-3 days of heavy spinning or hitting the trail for a quick 30 mile bike ride. I think I'm living proof that HRT is a good thing. I certainly enjoy my quality of life.
I am consistently impressed by the excellent service provided by your company. I have been working with your company for approximately 15 years and I have experienced excellent customer service at every point of contact. Keep up the great work!
With one of the lowest testosterone counts my doctor has ever seen, I will show you pictures of a changed man because of Testosterone Replacement! I feel like a million bucks!
This treatment has been definitely life changing. Back to my old or should be saying young self.
Thanks Again!
This is above and beyond what I could have asked for. What a great company. You have my business for life.
Will – California
Good afternoon from NYC!
I want to commend the entire team at Renew Youth. My experience has been great… first class service combined with authentic and individual care…Thanks!
Thank you!! Appreciate the swift response to my needs – great customer service!!

The way I feel and carry out missions is like night and day since I started this therapy. It's kind of how a cardiac patient didn't realize how sick he was until he had his arteries opened… Good stuff.

The best thing I've ever done for myself. They will have to pry my testosterone vial out of my cold dead hands.
Renew Man™ has changed my life.I thought my days of energy, strength and stamina were over.Thanks to the thoughtful and professional services from the folks at Renew Man™ I feel better than ever. I feel and look better at 54 than I did at 40 – with more muscle, less fat, more focused concentration and I sleep better as well.
Mike – San Francisco
In the year since I first contacted Renew Man™ about male hormone replacement therapy it is no exaggeration to say that my life has been transformed. My lean muscle mass has increased, my waist is down four inches, my lipids are normal and my energy has increased. My sex drive is back to where it was twenty years ago, but also my memory, concentration and mood have improved. I quit taking antidepressants and people have started commenting on how well I look for my age (48), especially in the last six months. There's no going back for me now. This is just a better life.
Doug – Indianapolis
Four years ago – age 44– I read the symptoms of andropause and thought "that is me" I went to a doctor who performed many tests and found that I had very low testosterone. At first he gave me a gel which did nothing. The doctors then started giving me shots every two weeks. The results were similar to a roller coaster. I would feel better then I would slide down. I knew there had to be a better way – that there was something not right about my dosing. I contacted Renew Man™ and met with their doctors. The result was low dose testosterone twice a week to keep me even. The results have been amazing. The first thing you notice after a few weeks is elevated mood, increased energy and increased libido. I started walking more, taking the stairs when I could, eating better. I then added Pilates and eventually weightlifting. Within 9 months of becoming a client I was able to fit back into my old jeans size 33 I lost 5 inches around my midsection and got my body in great shape. I wish I could have taken a before and after picture to show everyone my transformation. I am now 48 years old and people half my age want to know how they can get a body like mine. My chest, arms, and legs have all made impressive gains in the past 3 years. The only drawback is your going to need to buy a new wardrobe. I've never been happier with body and myself as I am right now. Thanks Guys
George – New York
Over the past 24 weeks I have done 2 ten week supervised exercise programs that initially rotated cardio, plyometrics(sp) and weight training where I committed to 6 days/wk, one hour/day. They did before and after pictures and weight and body fat tests before, half way and at the end. Before I started the first session I was 290 lbs (heaviest ever) and 34% body fat. I finished that program at 268 lbs and 29% body fat.
The next program was cardio/kickboxing and weight training rotating each day, one hour/day, 6 days/week. This program did the same measurements but added hips, waist, chest, thigh and biceps and tested a 1 mile run, situps/pushups in one minute and flexibility. They also took before and after pictures. They did a pretest, halfway and the final test was last Saturday. I now weigh 252 lbs, body fat is 23.3% and I ran the mile in 8:58, 65 push ups and 60 sit ups in a minute and my flexibility improved by 18%. My goal weight is 225 lbs and body fat in the mid to high teens. I would also really like to get rid of my sleep apnea machine as a long term goal.
Rick S. (on his progress relating to his physical fitness goals after beginning treatment)
About a year ago, I found myself unable to physically keep up with my goals, both physical and business oriented. I decided I would elucidate my understanding of the natural processes that occur to men at my age (40). I encountered a myriad of articles on the internet addressing male Andropause. It was at this time, I discovered, the symptoms of Andropause and I had all the symptoms; I was a classic case! Before this time, I assumed, that my decline of energy was associated with over working myself. I was experiencing ambivalence, in my physical and more so with any of my future business aspirations that required me to travail and traverse, in order to actualize them. There was the intention to "get things done", however, I lacked the physical and mental grit. After deciding to go forward with hormone therapy. The next question was, with which hormone therapy clinic. I called A LOT of clinics. Ultimately, I decided to use Renew Man™. They had the most information based site on the internet, but, they also had the best value of all the clinics I contacted. They are always there to answer questions and exercise the utmost professionalism and customer service. It has been a year since I started. I feel GREAT! I am enjoying activities with the zest and vigor as when I was 22! I am materializing all my business goals as well! My energy levels are through the roof and I am exceeding all my expectations. Did I mention, my sex drive has returned full swing too! The true benefit? Along with the return of my energy and youth; I also have the mental maturity that life naturally endows you with time and experience. I now have the best of two Worlds! Thank you Renew Man™.
Alexander – New Jersey
It was hard to admit that I had lost my interest in going to work, being a lover to my wife, being a parent, getting out of bed and doing much of anything at all. I was wondering if this feeling was ever going to subside? I tried going to my doctor and he offered me anti-depressants. I refused to take them because one of the symptoms is low sex drive; I don't need my sex drive to sink any lower than it was already. My wife kept badgering me to see a hormones doctor but this is where the stubborn part comes in. I don't want to feel this way, but as the man of the family I don't want to feel like I am letting my family down. I was surfing the web and found Renew Man™. My life has totally changed. The staff at Renew Man™ was very professional. They talked to me about my symptoms and assured me that what I was experiencing was quite normal for my age. My lab testing confirmed that I was suffering from low hormones. I also needed to work on my lifestyle issues particularly my diet. I met with a Renew Man™ physician, received my medications and instructions on how to administer them. Three to four weeks later I was feeling like a new man. My only regret is not being so macho and stubborn and doing something sooner. Thank you Renew Man™.
Peter – Cincinnati
The Renew Man™ testosterone program has restored my vitality and vigor. I'm 49 but I feel 25 years younger. I've lost nearly 30 pounds, and I'm in the best physical shape ever. There are no long-term commitments, surprises, or hidden costs, and Renew Man™ supported me every step of the way–staying with the program couldn't be easier. Quite simply, Renew Man™ is the best hormone replacement therapy program out there.
Jonathan – California
I have been in Renew Man™ program for close to a year now I can assure you the products are safe the doctors are real and the support team is great. I feel great, look great and I'm loaded with energy. Grow old gracefully? Not a chance!!!!!Thank you so much!!
Steve – New York City
Hey guys, I just had my 58th birthday and realized that it is also my 10th anniversary with Renew Man™. Ten years ago, on my 48th birthday, I gave myself a birthday present – I started with Renew Man™. I hold it out as one of the best and smartest things I have ever done. With your help, I feel great, look great and my wife and family kinda like me too. When I came to Renew Man™ I wanted to feel better but I was also concerned about a couple of chronic illnesses that run in my family – there have been no symptoms so far.I know the staff at Renew Man™ as if they were part of my family. Thank you for being there and here's to the next 10 years of Renew Man™.
Michael – Dallas
We both agree since starting treatment, I am a "new man". My wife should be writing this – it was her idea that I do so. My wife contacted Renew Man™ about two years ago. She had read an article about male menopause and told me she thought the article was about me. She showed me a list of symptoms and yes she was right, it was talking about me. She went online and found Renew Man™. We both agree since starting treatment, I am a "new man". I want to thank you for being there. I have thanked my wife many times for finding you and putting us together. My wife and I look forward to a long continued happy relationship with Renew Man™.By the way, your staff is great!!
Tom – Jacksonville
I look good, feel good and my love life is no longer just a memory.When I contacted Renew Man™ about 5 yrs ago, I was a man by birth only. I was 20 pounds overweight, tired, little to no motivation and a sex drive that was only a memory. I am sorry to say my marriage had become a "habit". With the help of Renew Man™ the past five years have been great. I look good, feel good and my love life is no longer just a memory. The added benefit has been my work. As you know I am an attorney. My practice has rejuvenated and so has my financial rewards. Much thanks and I look forward to a continued productive relationship.
Paul – Kansas City
I have been with Renew Man™ for 4 years and without being too trite, Renew Man™ has helped me become a "new man". For the first few months after starting my treatment program, my results were good but not great. I had not dedicated myself to doing the "heavy lifting" primarily on diet and exercise. Renew Man™ played "dutch uncle" with me. In respectful but firm counseling they told me to "get with it" and do my part. As they suggested, I worked on developing good lifestyle habits, setting overall objectives then working on small pieces over the next several months. In what seemed like no-time I was there, new healthy habits and a new life. Thank you guys—
Tony – Denver
Just a note to thank you for giving my husband back to me. Jack has been on the Renew Man™ program for about 6 months. I can't begin to describe the difference. He is happy, motivated and active to the point that I am not sure I can keep up with him. As you suggested, and with Jack's concurrence, I took over Jack's diet. He eats what I prepare for him. If he cooks, I plan the menu. I serve from the stove – one balanced plate, no seconds. The "red flag foods", crackers and bread, have been removed from the house. New habits have already taken route. Jack has lost 25 pounds and I can't keep my hands off him.
I have enclosed a before and after picture.Thanks again.
Paula – Seattle
I met with my Renew Man™ Doctor today. What a great guy. We have agreed on a course of treatment and I am excited to get started. I know what to expect from Renew Man™. More importantly I know what to expect from myself. I have never developed what Renew Man™ describes as healthy lifestyle habits. I know what I want to accomplish and I have broken down my objectives into manageable pieces. With the assistance of my new hormones I know it is very doable. You have all been great and I am excited about working with you.
Jake – Charlotte
Prior to starting with Renew Man™ I worked on my male menopause symptoms with my family doctor. The experience was to say the least frustrating. To interact with the doctor, I had to make an appointment two weeks in the future. I now know the doctor did the wrong tests and gave me a prescription he thought was safe and probably gave to all male menopause men who visit him – 50mg of topical cream to apply each morning. I felt nothing and if anything I felt worse – I think I was converting to estrogen.Since contacting Renew Man™ I am so much better informed. They are there to answer my questions whenever I need them – no waiting 2 weeks. My Renew Man™ doctor is very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in MY needs. I feel great. Thank you Renew Man™ Team!!

I have been working with Renew Man™ for eight years. My Renew Man™doctor is great and the staff has never let me down – they are knowledgeable and always there when I need them. If there is any doubt regarding information that is shared, the staff looks for firm information or puts me in touch with the "expert". I particularly like Jim, PhD pharmacist from the compounding pharmacy. It amazes me sometimes, how well I feel I know these people – but – other than my doctor I have never met them face to face. I pass through the Atlanta airport – one of these times I need to visit these people I know so well.
Stephen – Tampa
I am 58 years old. When I started with Renew Man™ four years ago I was, in my opinion, a mess. Over weight and had all the symptoms commonly listed for andropause. I was also the classic "Doubting Thomas", skeptical that this could really work. I was first taken aback a bit by the frankness and honesty of the Renew Man™ staff. Put simply there is no "BS". I told them if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it all. By all I meant all of the hormones. I was told respectfully "that is fine, but unless you are ready to do your part I would question the wisdom of making the dollar investment in Renew Man™ treatment". I made the commitment and have worked hard to do "my part". I have never looked back and could not be happier with the results. As to the "dollar investment", my business has thrived even through the recession. Why? Because with Renew Man's™ help I have gone from "a mess" to the "kick butt guy" I used to be. Thanks Renew Man™!!
Terry – Chicago
I came to Renew Man™ as a "retread" from another program. What a difference a phone call makes. When I called Renew Man™, I was frustrated with a lack of response to my needs and mediocre results I was getting from the program I had been in for about 8 months. I called Renew Man™ to ask a question and received a concise professional answer. That question led to several other questions—I had no idea how hungry I was for information. Twenty minutes later, through no prompting by the Renew Man™ staff member I spoke with, I asked "What would it take to work with you?".I have been with Renew Man™ for two years and couldn't be happier. Great results and I still ask questions and still get good answers.

Depending upon how or when you were raised, you may have questions about teen masturbation. Is it OK for my teen to masturbate? Will it make his penis smaller (or larger)? Will it stunt her growth? Will it delay puberty – or make it happen earlier? And what about hairy palms?

Teen Masturbation Is Normal

Masturbation is the stimulation of the genitalia for sexual pleasure. In other words, masturbation is the stimulation of the penis or vaginal area through rubbing or other means. Sometimes masturbation will include a lubricant to enhance the sensations. Other times there are other objects used to stimulate the genitalia, such as dildos or vibrators.

Teen masturbation is a completely normal event. As teens experience puberty, they become more curious about their developing bodies. Additionally, the sex hormones that are allowing puberty to happen can also prompt the adolescent to explore his or her body further, including activities such as masturbation and orgasm. There isn't much scientific data on teen masturbation, but there are a few studies that look at frequency. The primary study that looked at teens and masturbation surveyed Australian teens between the ages of 15 to 18. That study found that 59% of boys and 43% of girls in that age group reported having masturbated at least once. If we assume that this number is accurate, masturbation is a very common activity.

Discussing masturbation can be part of your discussions of sex with your teen. It is helpful for your teen to know that masturbation is normal, and not a shameful activity. Although it may go without saying, it is also helpful for your teen to know that masturbation is a private activity. If your teen has problems with touching him or herself sexually in public, talk to your pediatrician or primary care provider. Inappropriate masturbation practices can be a sign of other problems.

In short, it is OK for your teen to masturbate. It won't cause problems with puberty. It won't stunt growth. It won't change his penis size. It won't cause hair to grow in places it shouldn't

When it Is a Problem

When is teen masturbation a problem? There are a few isolated issues regarding masturbation. Sometimes the area being stimulated will become sore, so a lubricant can help with that issue. It is possible that, if an object is used for masturbation, that there could be damage to the delicate genital organ skin. Additionally, the object can become stuck during vaginal or anal stimulation. While working at a pediatric office, I witnessed the removal of a bottle cap from the vaginal canal of a teen girl who used a plastic bottle to masturbate. These issues are rare, though.

Masturbation in public or excessive masturbation are also problems. Teens with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) can sometimes masturbate in public or do other inappropriate activities due to the disorder. Children who have been sexually abused can sometimes masturbate excessively. If your teen has masturbated in public or masturbates excessively (where it interferes with normal daily activities), talk to your pediatrician. These behaviors are not normal, and can point to these or other issues.

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity as long as it is done in private and it doesn't interfere with daily life. It is an important part of sexual development and not a concern. Just about every old wives' tale about it is false – so it is one less thing for you to worry about.

Thank you, mazda77, please keep us informed.
No problem. Museum Twenty.
That was a one hour show. Only about 9 minutes total in this video. The coverup continues by the American MSM.
Post of the day!!!
Post of the day!!!
Oh, thanks so much. Works great.
Dec 5, 2011
Infographic: What triggered the Fast and Furious controversy?
This was only the first in a series of reports on Operation Fast and Furious.
Holy cow! Now they are showing Maripily dancing! (Ahem...distracting.)
Something strikes me as odd about this. It's an assumption (based of course on POLLS) that the latino/hispanic vote is 99% for Obama. Given the very professional but hard questioning he received on Univision a couple of weeks ago and the aggressive reporting they're doing on F & F...it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
I'd love to know what the viewing numbers are for this show.
It sounds like they are well informed from what you're saying. That is a very good thing!
At the ABC/Univision site it is a 9 minute clip. Is that the whole thing? Is this a show, or just a portion of the Spanish "nightly news?"
From the thread at Hot Air:
Just saw the report by Univision. Ramos NEVER mentioned Eric My People Holder being declared in Contempt of Congress and Executive Privilege being asserted on the documents Issa asked for.
Ramos from Univision is BIASED on this report, leading to the conclusion of circling the wagons around Obama, the One that granted amnesty to illegal immigration. The only thing Ramos states at the end is how INFLEXIBLE the American people are about their (Ramos I believe is a U.S. citizen) Second Amendment and how Americans opposed gun control laws. Well, Ramos, this is the United States of America, not the United States of Mexico where there is no Second Amendment and Mexicans cannot defend themselves from crime. The corrupt police, army, and government in their country is at fault for not allowing people to defend themselves. The ENFORCEMENT of existing laws are key, no gun regulations, which apparently Obama and his cronies wanted to do by allowing the arms to walk to Mexico.
Pixel_Dust_1776 on September 30, 2012 at 8:15 PM
I don't think anybody believes it is 99%, or anything like that. 60% maybe, worst case 65%. There are MILLIONS of Hispanics who are conservative and vote that way. New Mexico has a majority Hispanic population and yet elected Tea-Partier Susana Martinez Governor in 2010.
Unlike our media who will not show "disturbing" images, they did show video of killings in addition to lots of after incident pictures without masking. This was intended to get a visceral reaction from those who viewed it.
They have the contacts to get at the story from the Mexican side of the border. Someplace our MSM has not been willing to go. I also learned there is information that at least one office in Mexico knew of the ATF program and they were involved in some way more in making money on the drugs than they were in worrying about the guns.
Considering coverage by Vintage USA Media, any light shining on the situation is a good thing.
That was very damning to the Obama Administration. Thanks for the link.
You appear to be asking the question that has been bugging me.
If the audience for this show is large enough, it could go viral in the Hispanic community.
If I learned that the US government had been smuggling weapons into the country of my origin, where friends and family still lived, I would be livid.
The only question is whether I would see through the meme of "Bush started it". Under Bush, they tried something completely different, and stopped when it failed.
Under Obama, it was completely out of control. And I wonder that if the Hispanic community ever "gets it"' they will turn against Obama.
Not willing is right because they can get all the access they want.
Pat Caddell slams the media: They have become an enemy of the people (video 26:00)
Many thanks for that link. I copied off the full text into a doc file for reference later. Sure wish the English subtitles worked, but the pictures showed the damage done to the US/Mexico relations by this despicable administration.
I would like to know what Obama said in his clip; it's not shown in the translate.
Even if they do accept the (completely bogus) idea that Bush did it too will they really let 0bowdown off the hook for letting 1,500+ guns get into cartel hands and 300+ people murdered with those guns? I'm not sure they will want to drink that much Kool-Aid.
If it is what he said in his Univision interview, he essentially blamed Bush,saying that it was something he inherited from the previous administration.
You should be able to find a transcript of that interview with a search.
Re your "Unlike our media who will not show disturbing images", that is so true!
I have found Univision more visually honest in its presentations, generally.
ABC news had a video with english subtitles but only 9 minutes long... Anyword when the whole hour be up.
Yep, thanks - I saw some of that. Back to Google! :^)
I sure hope Freepers send this to Rush, Hannity, Levin, Drudge, et al.
Have they noted that Bush had the approval of the Mexican government and also actually had the ability to track the guns BEFORE they showed up at crime scenes - in contrast to what Obama has done?
Butter, I didn't watch it, and I'm not going to watch it.
Fast and Furious, Mexico, Faster and Furiouser, Libya, Egypt, and in Afghanistan, we have a triple lutz.
I uploaded it to youtube, it will be live shortly
"just like we suspected all along. They ( our government) wanted the body count to cause repercussions in the laws in our country."
I taped the show and am watching now. What they are uncovering is essentially an ATF cover-up that goes back to 2009, with the fake gun registrations and ATF e-mails that correspond about covering up. There were a couple of massacres in the Sinaloa ares, focusing on a mother of 2 sons, 18 and 20, both of whom were dead in the massacre. There were direct connections from Arizona and Texas that are definitively traced back to the ATF selling large quantities of guns that were used in these massacres. They have fingered the leaders, some of whom are under arrest now and admitted they had help from north of the border.
There is an American guy named Crumpler, who appears to have been a patsy for the government. Crumpler was recruited in Orlando to sell guns at gun shows and apparently grew suspicious as the same buyers were showing up at show after show and buying large quantities. He has evidence that the ATF knew these guys were running guns to Central America and Puerto Rico and these were used in lots of crimes.
Univision has records, witnesses, info from ATF that is very decisive. I am a little more than half through it. I will provide more input when done going over the tape.
Thank you!
"I have found Univision more visually honest in its presentations, generally."
Shep on Fox News was "accidentally" more visually honest the other night ...
Thank you!
And thank you!
In the rest of the show, they spoke to Brian Terry's mother and Jaime Zapata's father. Both feel very betrayed and Mrs. Terry can't understand why the government can't tell them the truth. Zapata's father, in LA, can't understand how the government gave guns to the enemy that were used to kill his son.
Also spoke to an ATF agent who told Univision that he knew guns were going into the hands of gangsters but he was told not to arrest them. Spoke to another 2 guys who were essentially handcuffed in doing anything about this. Also spoke to Darrell Issa who spoke of the frustration of getting information on the investigation.
It is a glaring ommission that there was no mention at all of Eric Holder or Lanny Breuer. Lots of details about the Phoenix ATF office and how they essentially enabled knowingly the gunrunning. All the dates and events addressed are from 2009 and on, all on Obama's watch. They are having a follow up report next week. Perhaps they will get to Holder. In all this is a damning report on our government. Will Spanish-speaking Americans pin this on Obama? Don't know, but there is nothing good in this for Obama.
Muchas gracias. Vaya con dios.
Univision: Doing the reporting that the English-language media won't do.
Media says "but how about Romney's 47% remark!"
Thank you, again.
Thank you, Mr. Kristinn for all the good you do. I know you are in D.C. My eldest son is now in D.C. and is working day and night on the Romney / Ryan campaign. He just got back from a very successful Ryan event in NH, and is prepping to hit the road again. We are all in this together!
Sweet! Thanks, Kristinn.
Fox should interveiw reporters from Univision.
Actually, they should give them a half hour time slot.

Promoting Chant through study, teaching and performance.
St. Stephen's House, Oxford
The planned event this August has been CANCELLED
Owing to the very small number of prospective participants, the Trustees of the Schola have reluctantly decided to call off the gathering at the end of August this year.
A weekend at St. Stephen's House will be held next summer, devoted to exploring the vast work of Mary Berry in study, performance and teaching of the chant. Details will be circulated well in advance.
Young Catholics at Douai, 28th - 30th October
The Schola will as in previous years provide support (chant) to the Young Catholics Association from the afternoon of 28th October until Sunday 30th October at Douai Abbey (near Reading). The programme will be set once we have an idea of numbers. At this stage I need either firm intentions or expressions of interest.
Please contact me by e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com@exactingly.intetadeSCPJ or phone 01509 852259.
John Curran
Trinity College, Cambridge, Monday 6th June
Participants gathered at the magnificent Wren Library, designed by Sir Christopher Wren to give as much light as possible to readers via the great windows overlooking The Backs. We were greeted by the Librarian, Dr. Nicolas Bell, whom many of us remember talking on Cluniac monasticism at the Lewes weekend. Nicolas's profound knowledge of mediaeval music manuscripts became apparent when he showed us a number of the Library's treasured mss., including that containing the Vespers composed for St. Edmund of Canterbury, Archbishop and Confessor, which we were to sing in the chapel that afternoon.
One could only admire the skill and dedication of the scribes working in a dark, unheated room who had written page after page of Latin in Gothic script, creating a work of art, and those who had added the square notes on the red stave lines earlier prepared for them. The books we saw were quite small, being intended as an aide-memoire for a cantor, but larger books were also made for several singers to read from a stand, as depicted in many pictures. One book we saw contained an early example of polyphony, three staves of music being written over a single line of text. Another was a scroll of carols written in 1415 after the victory at Agincourt. This was about 20 foot long, to be gradually unrolled by the cantor as he sang the text from a lectern, with pictures interspersed between paragraphs of text, but upside down, so the audience could see illustrations of the narrative being sung as the cantor continued his narrative. Early cinema? Similar long rolls were in use for the singing of the Exultet by the deacon after entry into the unlit church at the beginning of the Easter Vigil.
Nicolas was asked how these precious manuscripts had survived the general destruction that had followed the Reformation. One source was in the binding of books. The wooden boards used as covers for books tended to leach sap which would in time damage the endpapers. Any handy piece of vellum such as a page from a redundant book of chant music could be inserted between the board and the endpaper in order to protect it. A less likely source was in the wall of a church, such as that of Springfield Church in Essex, where the Springfield Antiphoner was found, and was consulted by Christopher Hodkinson when completing his transcription of the Vespers of St. Edmund.
Christopher had prepared for us an easily readable performance edition of the Vespers, which we rehearsed and sang in the college chapel after lunch. He had added excellent translations throughout, and added the antiphons for Lauds,as well as detailed notes on the complex ceremony which would have accompanied peerformance of this office. The last seven pages of the booklet contained facsimiles of the original ms. which we had seen in the morning, so that singers could compare the transcribed text with the original. It was interesting to note that the texts of the antiphons were mostly written in rhyme.
It was a pleasure and a privilege to have the opportunity to sing in the chapel of Trinity College. I believe it was the first time the schola had sung there.

Abstract: A vast labor literature has found evidence of a "glass ceiling", whereby women are under-represented among senior management. A key question remains the extent to which this reflects unobserved differences in productivity, preferences, prejudice, or systematically biased beliefs about the ability of female managers. Disentangling these theories would require data on productivity, on the preferences of those who interact with managers, and on perceptions of productivity. Financial markets provide continuous measures of the market's perception of the value of firms, taking account of the beliefs of market participants about the ability of men and women in senior management. As such, financial data hold the promise of potentially providing insight into the presence of mistake-based discrimination. Specifically if female-headed firms were systematically under-estimated, this would suggest that female-headed firms would outperform expectations, yielding excess returns. Examining data on S & P 1500 firms over the period 1992-2004 I find no systematic differences in returns to holding stock in female-headed firms, although this result reflects the weak statistical power of our test, rather than a strong inference that financial markets either do or do not under-estimate female CEOs.

This project provides for the major rehabilitation of residential roadways in older communities, to include extensive pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction, such as the associated rehabilitation of ancillary elements that may be under drains, subgrade drains, and curbs and gutters (if present). This project will not make major changes to the location or size of existing drainage structures, if any. Pavement reconstruction is the rehabilitation or replacement of the entire existing pavement structure by the placement of an equivalent or increased pavement structure. Rehabilitation usually requires the total removal and replacement of pavement exhibiting widespread areas of fatigue-related distress, base failures, subgrade failures, and locations on which otherwise aggressive pavement restoration approach is deemed impractical.
Please note: Paving, Resurfacing and Patching programs are seasonal activities, suspended from November to April.
