ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/2/08 - It was a night like never seen before in the Pigeon Hills.
And when it was over, Abbottstowns Mike Bittinger was standing on his top wing with a checkered flag in hand after scoring his first-ever sprint car win at Lincoln Speedway.
Bittinger drove around leader Adam Lawrence on a lap 22 restart and drove away to a 1.76-second win in a bizarre race that saw five red flags take out most of the leading contenders. The final restart came after leaders Craig Keel and Cris Eash both collided and flipped in turn two. That the last of the red flags in an event which ended at 2:00 a.m. after a three-hour rain delay caused by two successive thunderstorms just after the gates opened.
"I never drove that hard in my life," said a jubilant Bittinger in victory lane, "I knew on that restart...Go bonkers, youre either going to wreck or win. It worked out."
Red flags waived three times in the first two laps, first for a double-flip by Bobby Howard and Chris Weiss in turn one on the initial start. The second red flag involved a triple flip by Aaron Ott, Brian Montieth, and A.J. Michael. All told, seven cars were involved. Montieth made repairs during the red and returned to racing, only to spin twice more, once while battling Adam Lawrence for second on lap 14, and then retiring for good with front-end damage on lap 16.
The third red flag came out when race leader Pat Cooper flipped in turn four near the completion of lap two. In between the second and third red flags, second row starters Doug Dodson and "Big Block" Weaver tangled in turn four.
After the Cooper flip, Lawrence assumed the race lead but couldnt hold off sixth-starting Craig Keel, who drove around the Trailer Guard #5 in turn two. Keel led the remainder of the event until he and Eash got together on lap 22.
Lawrence again assumed the lead, with 15th-starting Nick Schlauch, Jr. second and Bittinger third. The Apex Fence #12 drove around Schlauch in turn two and then took it to the cushion to get around Lawrence for the race lead on turn four.
"Ive been out here doin this stuff for 12 years, but a lot of it was nerves," said Bittinger, "You have some big boys that race here and maybe it helped that some of them werent here tonight. I was relaxed and took what I thought I could get and it worked out."
"I want to credit my partner Trevis Tyree (from Apex Fence)," added Bittinger, "He has always stuck behind me. I think he believed in me more than I did. We kept plugging away and he helped me out the best he could. And Shane Smith...this is his motor in the car. Its a ten-year-old motor!
Niki Young came from 11th starting spot to pass both Schlauch and Lawrence over the final three laps to finish second, with Lawrence settling for third, Schlauch fourth, and Scott Geesey fifth. The only other cars which finished the race were Chad Jumper, John Rudisill, and 23rd-starting Jimmy Reppert. Credited with ninth and tenth were Keel and Eash.
Heats for the 27 "410" Sprints were won by Dodson, Weaver, and Bittinger, with Cory Haas winning the consolation.
The rain delay and lengthy 410 sprint feature forced Lincoln promoters to postpone the remainder of the show. The "358" sprint feature will be made up as part of next Saturdays three division ARCH Night show.
Heats for the 39 "358" Sprints were won by Cale Griffin, Denny Gross, Austin Reed, and Colt White. Twin consolations were won by Jeff Rohrbaugh and Kevin Nagy.
The make-up date for the thundercar feature is yet to be determined.
Heats for the 24 thundercars were won by Brian Walls, Danny Beard, and Kyle Martin.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 7/26/08 - Salfordsvilles Fred Rahmer used his years of experience to dodge the proverbial bullet Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway.
Two red flags and five caution flags over the first three laps of the 25-lap Daryl Gohn/Glenn Gohn Memorial had everyone on edge. Rahmer then methodically drove through the field from his 13th starting spot to chase veteran racer Craig Keel for the lead in the closing laps.
A late-race caution for a stopped Josh Wells with three laps to go was all Rahmer needed, as he slid under the Weedsport, NY racer in the first and second turns on the restart and drove away to a 1.10-second win over Cris Eash to register his milestone 160th career win at the Pigeon Hills oval.
"We changed a left rear tire just before the start, and I think that helped us," said Rahmer in victory lane, "You got those guys starting up front and that makes it tough. Its tough sleddin right now."
A flip by former Gohn Jewelers track champ Bobby Weaver in the third and fourth turns started the series of early-race mishaps. Then a four-car tangle on the second lap was followed by a Mike Bittinger end-over-end flip on the restart while running fourth. He collected fifth-place Jeff Busby and Brian Montieth.
Outside frontrow starter Dodson held the top-spot up until that point with polesitter Shawn Weaver in second.
Then on the fourth lap, Cody Darrah slapped the front stretch wall and slowed. The race-leading Dodson suddenly found himself closing quickly on the Red Lion racer and slammed into him in the first and second turns to bring out yet another caution.
Weaver assumed the lead for the restart and Pat Cooper brought out the caution with a spin in the first turn. On the next restart, several cars stacked up at the cone, resulting in Chad Layton and John Rudisill locking bumpers and spinning down the front stretch. Rudisill was done for the night but Layton was able to tag the rear.
The next 19 laps went non-stop, with Weaver holding off numerous challenges by Keel before the Pearl Technologies sprinter took control with a slider in turns three and four of lap 18. Three laps later, 13th-starting Rahmer made the same move in the same turns to snatch second from Weaver.
A familiar Rahmer slider on the restart sealed Rahmers sixth Lincoln win of the year.
"Being in first on the restart...youre always in the victims spot," said Rahmer, "I was lucky enough to get it done there. A lot of yellows came out and hurt me. I had passed cars and they didnt count the lap, and thats just the way it goes. When its your turn its your turn, and it was my turn tonight."
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 7/19/08 - Kevin Nagy of East Brunswick, New Jersey, didnt have the motor to run at Selinsgrove. In fact, lately, he hasnt had a motor at all.
So he borrowed a motor from sidelined competitor Matt Beasley and came to Lincoln. And Saturday night, it paid off.
Nagy grabbed the lead from his pole starting position, held off a furious mid-race challenge from outside frontrow starting Austin Reed, and then held off a late-race charge by 15th-starting Scott Geesey to pick up his first career Lincoln Speedway win in the 20-lap 358 sprint feature.
Nagy led Reed and sixth-starting Steve Owings from the outset and opened up a 1.57-second lead by the fifth lap. But as he closed on lapped traffic, Reed closed the gap and was side-by-side with the leader at the start/finish line at the half-way point.
A spinning Nicole Bower on the 13th lap brought out the first caution and put a clear track in front of Nagy, who continued to lead when the red came out on the 15th lap for a flipping John Barnett in turn four.
On the restart, Geesey continued his march to the front and squeezed by Reed to move into second. But Nagy was not to be denied , as he held firm out in front to take the checkered by .48-seconds to earn his inaugural win at the Pigeon Hills oval.
Reed settled for third, Owings was fourth, and 17th-starting Adrian Shaffer rounded out the top five.
Completing the top ten were Ricky Stonebraker, 22nd-starting Jeff Rohrbaugh, Jay Galloway, Billy Dietrich and Brian Eichelberger.
Heats for the 41 "358" Sprints were won by Bob Anderson, Nagy, Stonebraker, and Eric Tomecek. Twin consolations were won by Shaffer and Gerard McIntyre Jr..
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 7/12/08 - Doug "the Hammer" Esh is on a roll.
A month after missing a Lincoln feature because his team was out of cars, Doug Esh won his second straight Lincoln main and claimed his second big-money win of the weekend in the 30-lap, $5,600-to-win 56th Anniversary Show Saturday night.
Esh started on the pole after fast timer Alan Krimes drew a number six pill for the inversion, and he led every lap, crossing 3.13 seconds in front of points leader Fred Rahmer. It was the second straight night that the Panchos Racing Products/Leach Racing #30 and the C&S Lawn & Landscaping/Miler Brothers Chevrolet #51 crossed first and second. Friday nights Williams Grove win earned Esh $5,000. Counting the PA Speedweek opener, Eshs winnings in the last two Lincoln features has totaled $12,600.
Esh beat outside front row starter Brian Leppo to the first and second turns at the start and led the field during each of four caution flags over the first six laps. The last 24 laps went non-stop, with Esh hitting lapped traffic by lap 12 and making a number of daring sliders to pass lapped cars.
"You watch the leader board and you know whos behind you is the best in the business," said Esh in victory lane, "I love racing with that guy (Rahmer). I love beatin him more than racin with him. But hes the master in lapped traffic and I knew I had to get through em (lapped cars) and get going and keep my momentum up."
"What an intense race," added Esh, "I knew he had to be with me, but he doesnt like to run around the top like I typically do. I figured we were okay if we kept the momentum up. I just didnt want to get messed up in lapped traffic."
Rahmer, who set third-quick time and started fourth in the inversion, was the only car within striking range over the final 24 laps, getting as close as 1.23 seconds on lap 22, but fading over the final five laps.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 7/5/08 - Lincolns all-time "358" sprint car winner added another notch to his belt by claiming the 25-lap, $2,500-to-win Wintermyer Auto Salvage feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. The purse was the largest for the 358 Sprints in Lincoln history, and Clair Wintermyer posted the $2,500 winners share and lined up heat sponsors for the event. Mystery Wintermyer (Clairs wife) also added the $200 Hard-Charger Award.
Dallastowns Cory Haas, competing at Lincoln in a "358" sprint car for the first time this year, started on the pole, followed outside front row starter Adam Wilt for the first 18 laps, and then pulled a slider on a restart to grab the race lead and take the checkered by 2.33 seconds for his 13th career Lincoln win.
But with passing points used to determine the starting lineup for the feature event, it was his key pass of Jeff Rohrbaugh in his qualifying event that put him at the front of the feature line-up when Billy Dietrich (who tallied the most heat points with 73) pulled a six pill for the inversion.
"We watched that first heat and there was a bunch of yellows and reds, and I told Mike (Barshinger) I guarantee ours goes non-stop. If it would have, we wouldnt have qualified in the heat. I sneaked by Jeff (Rohrbaugh) on the restart and that put us sixth in passing points for the night," said Haas in victory lane.
Only the 19th-lap slider by Haas kept Wilt from scoring his first Lincoln win.
"I just didnt know where to be when I was running second," said Haas, "Adam Wilt took off and was running really good. I didnt think I was going to get him. The only chance I had was to fly him down here in one and two on a restart, and it worked. Once I got clean air, it ran pretty good."
Wilt crossed second, with Lincoln points leader Gerard McIntyre, Jr. third, Billy Dietrich fourth, and Danny Dietrich fifth. The Dietrichs passed each other at least a dozen times during the feature event.
Sixth through tenth were Scott Geesey, Dale Hammaker, Glenndon Forsythe, two-time winner Aaron Ott, and Tim Berkheimer. Brian Eichelberger received the $200 hard-charger award from Mystery Wintermyer (Longaberger consultant) for advancing from 22nd starting spot to 15th at the finish.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 6/29/08 - It was a perfect night for Spring Groves Tim Gladfelter in Sundays Pennsylvania 600cc Micro-Sprint Speedweek show at Lincoln Speedway.
After winning one of ten heats for the 94 cars on hand, Gladfelter picked pill #1 for the start, saw a caution flag every time he approached lapped traffic, led every lap, and then took the checkered just moments before it began to rain.
Though he led the whole way, Gladfelters margin of victory was a slim .22-seconds over second-place Heath Henley of Manheim after a final two-lap dash to the checkered.
"This is without question my biggest win ever," said a happy Gladfelter upon exiting his Trone Outdoor Advertising #69 in victory lane, "
Third through fifth were Trail-Way points leader Brent Marks, Jan Luckenbaugh, and 21st-starting Mike Dicely, who qualified through the "B" Main. Sixth through tenth were Matt Pupello, Shane Lewis, Brock Zearfoss, Timmy Barrick, and Kyle Moody.
Heats for the 94 Micro-sprints were won by Mike Rutherford, Keith Ford, Shawn Siefert, Brock Zearfoss, Jan Luckenbaugh, Tim Gladfelter, Heath Henley, Mark Strickler, Brent Marks and Shane Lewis.
Mike Dicely won the B-Main, Dwayne Gutshall won the C-Main, Joe Robertson won the D-Main, and Ken Miller won the E-Main.
The Central PA Legends feature was postponed by rain and will be made up as part of a triple-header program with the 410 sprints and URC sprints on August 16th.
Heats for the Legends were won by Shane Gladfelter, Andy Lupfer, and 70-year-old guest driver Will Cagle, one of the top modified stars in the Northeast from the 1960's through the 1980's.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 6/28/08 - Doug "the Hammer" Esh took the green flag from wife Kelly and never looked back in scoring the $7,000 win on opening night of the 18th Annual Cindy Rowe Auto Glass Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek early Sunday morning at Lincoln Speedway.
Esh started on the pole and led every lap of the 9th Annual Kevin Gobrecht Memorial after the packed house waited through a 3-hour, 40-minute rain delay which began when a thunderstorm stopped action in the middle of the third heat at 8:45 p.m.
By the time the "410" sprint cars resumed action, it was 12:25 a.m. During the delay, organizers of a fund-raising raffle to benefit the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial Fund selected Kelly Eshs number as the winner of the drawing to determine the honorary starter for the start of the "A" main.
She stood behind the officials in the flagstand for the remainder of the event and watched as her husband was challenged numerous times by Brian Montieth and Fred Rahmer over the middle stages of the race.
Several times between laps 14 and 18, the Premier Auto Works/Auto Locator #21 pulled alongside the leader with Rahmer right behind as the leaders worked through lapped traffic.
The three-car race cooled down after a caution flag was waived for a bizarre turn of events on the front stretch. The string of red lights dropped down dangerously close to the top wings of the sprint cars, and had to be removed before the race could continue.
When the green waived again on lap 19, Esh pulled away to a comfortable lead until the leaders again entered lapped traffic on lap 25. Eshs .97-second lead on lap 23 evaporated to .66-seconds on lap 26, and a final charge by Montieth over the last two laps reduced the margin of victory to a scant .22-seconds at the end.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 6/21/08 - Theres been a lot of talk this year about Lincolns crop of young drivers and the next generation of sprint car superstars.But its the veterans who have dominated victory lane in the Pigeon Hills for the past six weeks.
And the master took em to school in the25-lap Lawrence Chevrolet Night"410" sprint feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
Fred Rahmer came from his customary 12th starting spot to track down and pass race-leading Jim Siegel in the third and fourth turns of the 19th lap, then raced away to his fifth win of 2008. With his 159th career Lincoln win, the 10-time track champ ended a resurgent Cris Eashs three-race win streak.
"Im just too stubborn to let them beat me," said Rahmer upon exiting his Chad and Jen Clemens-owned C&S Lawn & Landscaping/Miller Brothers Automotive No.51 sprinter in victory lane, "It was tricky racing out there, and I just went where they werent...everybody went to the bottom like I always do, and that was the wrong move tonight."
"Tonight I wasnt going to let starting position beat me," Rahmer added with a smile, "Right now, for whatever reason, everybody is just blocking you running for ninth and the idea is to get to eighth...it makes it a lot tougher but you do what youve got to do."
Outside frontrow starter Craig Keel grabbed the lead from polesitter Mike Bittinger at the drop of the green and led the opening laps while fourth-starting Jimmy Siegel flexed his muscles following his Friday night win at Williams Grove Speedway and moved into the runner-up spot on lap five.
Siegel got around Keel for the top spot with a low-side move in the third and fourth turns of lap 15.
But Rahmer was on the move too, and was in fifth spot when a spinning Alan Krimes brought out the caution on the 16th lap.Rahmer passed Nick Schlauch and then Craig Keel for third on the restart, drove around Brian Leppo for second a lap later, and then his sights on Siegel.He snatched the race lead one lap before a caution came out for the spinning cars of Cory Haas and Cody Darrah in the first two turns of lap 20.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 6/14/08 - Last week, Cris Eash said he was having one of the best nights of his life after winning two 410 Sprint car features on the same night at Lincoln Speedway.
Saturday night, with the OReilly All Star Circuit of Champions in town to battle the Pennsylvania Posse, Eash waited out a three hour rain delay and then came out on top of a thriller to win the 30-lap feature event. Eash took the lead from All Star regular Greg Wilson on lap 19 and then held on during the final 11 laps for his 41st career Lincoln victory and sixth career All Star win.
"Man that was awesome," said the Hanover, PA driver following his $5,000 victory. "There towards the end of the race I lost my brakes. But luckily I was running the top and I didnt need a lot of brakes up there."
Eash started third but jumped into the second spot behind Wilson, who beat fellow front row starter Fred Rahmer into turn one.
Brian Montieth moved Rahmer back to fourth on lap three as Cody Darrah moved into to challenge Rahmer for the fourth spot. Then just as Montieth got under Eash for the runner-up spot, Darrah slowed on the track with a flat tire. Eash held the spot, which would be one of the big breaks of the race.
Wilson maintained the top spot as Eash, Montieth, Rahmer and Doug Esh put on a fantastic battle for top five positions.
Esh blasted from fifth to third on lap 18 just as Eash was racing his way around Wilson for the top spot entering the third turn.
Esh drove by Wilson on lap 20 as Rahmer moved Wilson back another spot a lap later. Wilson faded to fifth on lap 22 when Montieth went into fourth place.
Scott Geesey brought out the final caution of the event on lap 26 when he spun in turn four as Eash had opened up some distance out front.
Rahmer disposed of the lapped car of Alan Krimes on the restart but Eash was up to the challenge and easily picked up the win, his third straight in the Pigeon Hills.
"Darren had this car really good tonight," Eash said of car owner/brother who owns the E & G Classics, Macri Concrete No. 17E. "Were really on to something. Anytime you beat Fred Rahmer, you feel like youve done something."
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 6/7/08 - "This is one of the best days of my life!"
Hanovers Cris Eash had not won a 410 sprint feature since September 25th, 2004. Retiring shortly after his last win, Eash announced his retirement to spend more time with wife Amy and the kids. He spent a couple years watching weekly from the grandstands, and eventually returned to his other love - racing.
Saturday night, the former World of Outlaw Rookie of the Year completed the comeback by winning not one, but two features in the same night.
"I have goose bumps right now like its my very first race I ever won," said a visibly emotional Eash after scoring Lincoln career win #39 in the remainder of the May 17th show which started the night, "My brother Darren is one heck-of-a mechanic. Sorry my Dads not here tonight...hes in Europe. We came back to have fun doing this deal, and its so much more fun with my family."
Eash lined up third with six laps completed, inherited the lead when race leader Cory Haas spun while trying to hold off the E&G Classics #17E on turn four of lap 14, then led the rest of the way to take the checkered .78 seconds ahead of Alan Krimes. Eash became the 8th different Lincoln winner of 2008.
Nick Schlauch, Jr., who graduated earlier in the week from Archbishop Wood High School, crossed third, with Josh Wells and Michael Carber completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Adam Lawrence, Aaron Ott, Niki Young, Chad Jumper, and Bobby Howard.
Career win number 40 came a few hours later, when Eash again took the lead on lap 14 and held off the late-race charges of high-flying "The Edge" Brian Montieth.
"Hes pretty crazy, and he likes to run that wall," said Eash on Montieths last lap charge for the lead. "There is really nobody around here that does it better than him...we were just lucky to hold on."
Eashs final margin of victory was .66 seconds, down significantly from the 5-second lead he enjoyed as he reached lapped traffic with two laps to go. Montieth was featured driver of the night, in a car sponsored by race-night sponsors Premier Auto Works and Auto Locator.

I could write about a million benefits of keeping your child close after birth, but I'll leave that up to the experts and stretch your imagination a little.
Imagine that you are an unborn child. You have been floating happily in lukewarm liquid for nine months now, you experienced taste through it. You felt vibrations and heard your mother speak, and you heard other, more muffled noises too. You sensed your mother's touch through the womb that hugs you. You have been really comfortable.
But right now, that womb, which is all you have know for all eternity, is getting a little tighter, you have little space left and it is getting harder to move. You may have engaged, you may not., anyway, you are ready for some change.
And so it happens, you start to feel hugged ever more tightly by that uterus, your home. Irregular at first, and short, but after a while, these sensations get more intense. Something is about to happen! You feel slightly pressed downward with every contraction. You are excited. You feel how your mother feels and you hear her voice, maybe she's a little frightened, should you be? Maybe she's excited too, and happy, so you feel happy too.
Let's just assume you are all well and she is indeed happy and excited to meet you - after all, she did wait nine months for this moment. Let's assume that this engaging thing and the contractions work well.
So you feel it's time to put in some effort of your own, after all, your mommy - who you have felt and heard and tasted all this time, but have yet to meet - is putting in so much effort.
So you twist and wriggle and turn. You feel really squeezed. Your head is a little sore, you feel like you can't take much of this for too long.
And then it happens...
[[[ I am sorry to take you out of the imaginative trip for a moment, but I just want to show you two possible scenarios and you pick the one you would like to have as the second half of this story ]]]
The pressure on your head is relieved and you feel a rush of - what is this, it's fresh, cold even, and it smells so different - air on your face. A big human pulls you out rather rudely and holds you upside down. There are all these things around, and so many people and noises and smells and everything happens so quickly and you don't see well, but the light stings your eyes.
"Hey, why are they cutting off my lifeline? I like that, I played with it all this time! Don't take it away!"
You are being pulled away from the one smell and feel you knew to again another entirely different setting. They prick you and it hurts and they rub you down and put stuff in your eyes, it stings even more than the light! You are starting to feel very desperate, very helpless. Maybe this wasn't as exciting as you though it would be. Frankly, you wish you were back in that warm - albeit tight - uterus. You start to cry - "Hey what's this noise, it's loud and it hurts my ears, wait... it's me!" - you are kind of freaking out.
Someone else puts you on a cold metal thingy and starts measuring you. By this time you are tired and desperate.
But then they bring you over to the one creature you know. She looks kind of desperate too. And she's cold and tired, just as you are.
You want to look, you want to taste and smell. But you're still a little freaked out, scared, and very very tired. Will they come and take you away again?
The pressure on your head is finally gone and you are in a lukewarm environment, just as you were in utero, but vast and less tasty, though it does taste and smells the same, just less pronounced. You open your eyes and see a beautiful face radiating love. You feel two strong but tired hands on your back. They pull you up - "Hey what is this? This smells great! I want to have a taste of this!!!" - and put you at the breast.
While you enjoy this liquid gold, you dare another glance. "Wow, mommy is really beautiful and look at how happy she is!"
You hear an emotion filled mutter, and look to the side. You've heard that voice before, but a lot more muffled. Hey, look at that, that's a totally different face than mommy's! A hand that belongs with the second face caresses your back and the face speaks gentle words to you, ever so softly. Mommy hums, and cries tears of joy.
"It was all worth it!" you think, as you doze off into a wonderful little slumber.
[[[ Take your time to wake up out of that soft dreamless sleep ]]]
Which one would you pick?

Keeping Your Baby Close After Birth (rerun)
16 comments:
Lovely article!
The teacher in me wants to point out a few mistakes, which you can probably quickly edit before the rest of the world reads!
exited means to exit or leave
I think you meant to use the word excited meaning to have a thrilling feeling.
mommies, spelt with the ies ending means more than one mommy. I think you meant to use mommy's meaning it belongs to mommy.
There was also a couple of typos in the last couple of paragraphs.
Lovely piece though- good job!- AnonymousJune 4, 2010 at 4:36 PM
beautifully written...makes me cry though. with my oldest i had an emergency c-section. they had induced me the night before because they wanted to...i didn't know i had a real choice in the matter! i had just finished a long day at work and just wanted to go home. they decided since i was so close to my due date and thought i might have been leaking fluids (even though the ultrasound they had done showed that my fluid levels were fine), the doctor decided to induce me! i went through labor all through the night on pitocin. my water broke at 3:30 am. by noon the next day the contractions were coming on top of one another so fast and hard (still on pitocin) and i couldn't stop throwing up! the doctor came in and said she was going to do a c-section. i told her i didn't care; i just wanted my baby! we had tried for 3 years for her, so it was "about time" imo! not even a year after having my oldest, i found out i was pregnant with my youngest. the place i went through with her gave me information about vbacs and such as i was interested. the information though was extremely misleading and negative. i chose to have another c-section.
i still feel like i've missed out on something so beautiful! this time around (or whenever i end up pregnant again) i will look around until i can find someone who will go with my wishes (vbac and such). i know it will be hard, especially considering i'll probably be on medicaid again for that pregnancy. i know the ultimate goal is to have a healthy baby, but i feel kind of depressed at times at not being able to have a baby the "right" way. i know it's normal to feel this way, but i want that feeling of satisfaction. i know my body and i can do it; just need a doctor/midwife, that would work WITH me and not have their own agenda!!!
thanks again for writing this though!
Elizabeth Hugs, Elizabeth!!! I am sorry if this upset you, I feel for you.
You are right to feel hurt and cheated. No matter what people say, your birth experience does matter.
VBAC is possible, I just had two friends attempt and succeed not so long ago, one who had three or four cesarians prior to this VBAC.I have heard so many birth stories in my day and been at just one birth besides my own. Each birth has its different story.
I had my first child Phoenix in the hospital. It was a lot like you describe - invasive and harsh and lots of instruments and needles and cold, yes. My daughter came into this world exhausted from a too-long labor stalled out by too many drugs. She was poked and prodded and messed with and we spent our first 24 hours in a hospital. I did not have a full epidural nor a C-section so at the time I considered myself "lucky".
My second child I chose to have him at home. It was warm and much easier and loving and strong and much more dignified and after he was with us I was in my warm, loving house with loving people. He was so peaceful after he was born. Awake, alive, eyes open. No crying. It was simply a night vs. day experience. I loved it (I post his birth story every year on his birthday.scenario #1 was my daughter and we had a "good natural" birth in a hospital. scenario #2 was my son born almost 4 months ago now in a tub in our living room surrounded by good friends, his daddy and his sissy. reading this as they both sleep in the room next to me, i am in tears remembering each birth and how scared and worried i was during 1 and how happy and excited and safe i was at the other...
thanks you

Jack Reacher books are quick, entertaining reads
By by kathleen email@example.com
Jan. 2, 2013 at midnight
Updated Jan. 1, 2013 at 7:02 p.m.
Jack Reacher. Six feet, 5 inches and 220 pounds. Ex-military policeman and all-around tough guy. Maybe you've heard of him?
I was talking to my father one day and he started ranting a bit about the new "Jack Reacher" movie starring Tom Cruise. (Book-related ranting runs in the family). He talked about how the movie was based on a very extensive book series, but they had cast it all wrong.
Jack Reacher was supposed to be huge. Burly. Muscular. A giant. He stands out in a crowd, intimidates the bad guys and is able to throw down on any enemy who gets in his way. Though I am not usually one to pick up light crime-action novels, it made me curious, and I thought I'd give them a try.
"Killing Floor," the first in the series, opens over breakfast. Reacher watches as cops burst into a diner to arrest him for a murder he didn't commit. He is interrogated and jailed, though there is no evidence against him. Reacher becomes intrigued by the cop's inability to realize he isn't the murderer, but he stays out of it. It isn't his problem.
Suddenly, it becomes personal when he finds out that the person murdered is none other than his own brother, Joe. Reacher then takes down each criminal with his military-trained efficient and smooth kick-butt abilities. Reacher not only solves the town's problems but gains a lady friend, Roscoe, who adds a little personality and love interest to the plot.
After "Killing Floor," I read "Die Trying." Now, I'm currently on "Tripwire." This stumbling-upon-a-crime scenario seems to be pretty common so far in the series. In the second book "Die Trying," Reacher helps a woman on the street and ends up being thrown into a vehicle with her, kidnapped and held as part of a rebel militia scenario. In "Tripwire," he is digging pools in Key West when a detective comes looking for him, is killed and then Reacher follows the detective's trail to discover himself once again involved in something very twisted and personal.
Each book has a crime element, a love element and a lot of action. There is plenty of running, fighting, shooting and scheming to keep you turning the pages to see whose butt gets handed to them next.
Reacher, though not a deep character, is entertaining because he is so incredibly calm, cool and proper. He believes in being polite, treating women well and minding his own business. He only gets involved when a wrong needs to be righted, and then he doesn't give a damn what is legal, only that justice be served, often in blood.
The Reacher books are quick, entertaining reads that will keep your attention on any beach, flight or rainy afternoon. I plan to continue reading and with 15 books in the series, I've only got 12 to go.

ryanopaz has reviewed the Gorka Izagirre 2010 /5
I love wines like this, low alcohol, clean fresh nose, and a palate full of fruit, minerals and spritzy acidity. A touch of round cream at the finish tidies it up nicely and I think I might have found the perfect summer sipper. Basque country is making some great wines as of late, ones like this are proof!

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
New Public Option Efforts Surface In House
"[I]t's just as important that we offer people not just another choice, but another kind of choice. A lot of people don't want to be at the mercy of greedy insurance companies that will make money by denying them the care that they need to stay healthy, or to stay alive. We deserve to have a real alternative," Grayson said in a statement.
He's collected 10 co-sponsors. They are:
Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME), Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH), Rep. Diane Watson (D-CA).
As Ezra Klein argued yesterday, once there Obama signs the legislation it becomes a lot easier to passes incremental improvements over time because there is a place to put them.
We've been tracking the last-ditch Senate effort to use reconciliation to pass a public option now, but Sen. Dick Durbin told reporters this morning that isn't going to fly.

As the clock struck midnight today, wedding bells began to ring in Washington.
Same-sex couples tied the knot in midnight ceremonies as a new state law went into effect recognizing their marriages.
Marriage licenses became available to the couples on Thursday, however according to state law, they had to wait three days before they could legally wed, meaning the first weddings could not take place until today.
"We weren't going to wait one second longer," groom Matthew Wiltse, 29, told ABC News affiliate KOMO, after his midnight wedding.
Wiltse and his partner of 10 years, Jonathon Bashford, 31, were one of five couples wed at the Thurston County Courthouse overnight.
The celebratory mood continued into the day, as 140 couples were married in the grand lobby at Seattle City Hall, which is usually closed on Sundays.
Sixteen judges volunteered to officiate the marriages, according to a City of Seattle live blog of the day's festivities.
Two-thirds of the couples married at city hall today were women, and one-third men, according to the blog.
After saying "I do," couples were able to meet Mayor Michael McGinn as they picked up signed, embossed certificates recognizing their marriage.
A room at city hall was turned into a large joint wedding reception, where newly married couples, family and friends celebrated with colorful cupcakes and pictures.
The weddings at city hall are expected to continue until 5 p.m. PT today.

I an designing my first game, like checkers, and decided that messages between client and server will be text based(json).
In the game, each player in its turn, can:
- move to next position
- kill opponent's soldier
- eaten by opponent soldier
option 1: use a single message for all action, and let the server decide if the action is move || kill || eaten
e.g: {TYPE: "MOVE" , SRC_POS: <POSITION> DEST_POS: <POSITION> }
option 2: use a dedicated message for each type of action
e.g: {TYPE: "MOVE" ....} , {TYPE: "KILL" ....} , {TYPE: "EATEN" ....}
I prefer option-2, since its eliminate so many if-else in server code, to figure out what kind of action is.
What is better, and which will cause failures/bugs in future ???

Zombie Chase in Russia.. Real or Too Real?
by z on Mar.23, 2010, under News, Video, Weapons
Do you believe in Zombies? This is a question i'm asked at least once a day from people and most of the time my answer is 75%No 20%yes and 5%maybe. I'm a massive zombie fan and like most (at least I think most) of zombie fans I have made loose mental plans of what to do if the dead rise. You know the basic stuff, board up the ground floor windows, gather up the weapons you can, fill up the tub and sinks with water.. etc etc. I also have gone as far as to make sure certain consumable in the house are always stocked… in case of a natural disaster.. right? With all this said I never "really" deep down thought there would ever be a zombie outbreak let alone an apocalypse. Especially like the ones we watch in the movies or read about. I guess there might be a lab somewhere in the future that could create a viral infection of some kind that would cause a zombie like outbreak, but I doubt it's happening right now…. OR IS IT!
I found this video from over at viralfootage.com and it looks pretty convincing… it has me thinking… theres lots of weird shit coming out of Russia.. lots of experiments that skirt the fringes of ethical science (or so my brain washed born in the 80′s mind tells me). Maybe just maybe this is real! ahhh better get another flat of canned fruit on grocery day.

U.S. Rethinks Possible Competition with China in Space
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: historymartinez.files.wordpress.com)
China's recent successful manned mission has started a space race debate
Now that China has successfully completed its
first manned mission
, the United States is worried that it may be left behind when it comes to space-related endeavors.
China initially launched its Tiangong 1 prototype space station module in September 2011 and linked its Shenzhou 8 spacecraft to it in November. Earlier this month, China completed its first manned mission to Tiangong 1 using its Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, which contained the country's first female astronaut.
With so many firsts under China's belt, the U.S. is getting a little worried. Some scientists, such as lunar geologist Paul Spudis say that China could renounce the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which states that no one can claim national sovereignty in space. Spudis believes that potential resources on the moon, such as water, could tempt the country into renouncing the treaty.
There are also worries about the U.S. government's space program. While the U.S. has the private sector (SpaceX) taking care of space-related business for now, there are concerns regarding the private sector's ability to uphold the American space effort without the government's support. The U.S.' funding for the space program has been quite low, even to the point where NASA
urged Congress to provide the full $850 million
for commercial crew vehicle development last October.
However, the private sector has made strong contributions so far with SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule making its
first successful trip
to the International Space Station (ISS) last month.
Others aren't quite as worried about China's position in the space race. According to Jeff Foust, an aerospace analyst, journalist and publisher, China's space program could potentially face some issues with coordination because it is ran by many different government agencies instead of just one.
Regardless, China is now a member of the space race and the U.S. may be taking the new potential competitor into consideration.

Press release: BT report encourages organisations to protect themselves against mobile security breaches
DC14-521 (4 November 2014)
Mobile devices represent a significant security risk for business, yet many are failing to make adequate provisions to protect their valuable data against threats
Mobile security breaches have affected 68 per cent of organisations in the last 12 months, according to a new global study from BT. Despite this, organisations are still not taking sufficient security measures to protect themselves against mobile threats, such as lost or stolen devices and malware infections. In fact, the report reveals that around half of respondents' organisations who had suffered a mobile security breach, experienced more than four incidents in the last year.
The research explores the attitudes of IT decision makers towards security within their organisations. It shows that uptake of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and COPE (Corporately Owned Personally-Enabled) devices is very high, with 93 per cent of organisations allowing employees to use these devices for work purposes.
However, only four in 10 organisations surveyed actively have a BYOD policy. In this environment, device security is falling by the wayside: only a quarter of respondents felt that their company had sufficient resources in place to prevent a mobile security breach. Surprisingly, three in 10 (29 per cent) do not have password protection, and less than half (45 per cent) report that their organisation has IT security training for all.
The report highlights that while 33 per cent of personal or corporate owned mobile devices have full access to the internal networks or contain sensitive client information, a third of organisations do not have any kind of enforceable mobile security policy.
For those that do, the average length of time between reviewing mobile security measures is nine months. The infrequency of this is cause for concern, as many IT decision makers believe that the rate of malware infections will be on the rise in the next three to five years.
Security breaches, such as lost or stolen devices, malware infections such as viruses, spyware, and Trojan Horses, or the loss or theft of company or customer data,
have had a major impact on business processes, including taking up valuable help desk time and other IT resources. They have reduced employee productivity, day to day activity and even customer experience, as well as causing reputational damage. Some have even resulted in hefty fines.
Mark Hughes, president of BT Security, said: "Today's threat landscape shifts very quickly so it is important for organisations to start with security in mind, rather than add it as an afterthought. This will ensure that security processes develop with them, and not after them. This makes the task of being security-led much more straightforward."
Staff attitudes remain the biggest threat to data security. The report reveals that 74 per cent are not taking the security of devices seriously. However, delving further into this, it becomes clear that this attitude trickles down from the top:sixty-nine per cent of IT decision makers do not believe their CEO takes security very seriously. This is concerning, as security programmes need to have complete top down buy-in in order to be successful, with everyone from the CEO right throughout the organisation taking part.
Mark Hughes said: "If CEOs are passionate about making security practices work, then these will inevitably become an intrinsic part of people's lives. Problems usually arise when people don't understand the risks and the impact that neglecting security could cause for the business, as well as for them personally. A security breach could cause a share price drop and reputational brand damage. This means that security is everyone's job.
"At BT, we are working with many leading global organisations to help educate them about security risks and put in place proactive defences. When people understand the repercussions of not adhering to security practices, and are given the tools to prevent them, organisations will truly be able to reap the many benefits of mobility and BYOD."

Under the tutelage of Loea Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, Keala has spent many years learning and building his knowledge. Recently he graduated in the 'uniki rites to be a kumu hula. He is fluent in the Hawaiian language, which he uses as the foundation for teaching all of his students.
He currently lives in Kailua-Kona, where he is Kumu Hula for Ka Pa Hula Na Wai Iwi Ola. As a composer of chants and mele, he travels the world to share hula. Kumu Keala is Co-founder and Executive Director of Na Wai Iwi Ola (NWIO) Foundation. He is also Kumu Hula and cultural advisor to Halau Na Wai Ola in Sunnyvale, California, - Kumu Hula Ka'ai Isa-Kahaku; Halau Na Wai Pana o Keala - Kumu Yukari Uchio; Halau Na Wai Ola o Keala - Kumu Kazumi Chiwacchi both in Japan; and Halau Na Wai`Ohi`a - Kumu Noelle Delaquis in Zurich, Switzerland.
Kalani's series of Hawaiian Culture Events feature a different Hawaiian cultural practitioner who speaks and shares 'ike (wisdom) through talk story, hō`ike`ike (demonstration), or hana`ana (performances).
These Hawaiian Culture Events provide a unique forum where Hawai`i and its peoples can come together and share cultural knowledge, customs, and aloha to all willing to receive.

The Hidden Costs of Linux Ownership
Linux might be free to download and install, and it might offer you freedoms that aren't available from commercial software, but don't let that fool you into thinking that everything about Linux is free. You might save money, but there are still hidden costs that need to be taken into account.
The first cost is uncertainty. It's hard to measure uncertainty in any definitive way but that doesn't mean that it should be ignored. When you take a copy of Windows XP, Vista or Mac OS X and you install it onto a system with the appropriate system requirements, chances are that unless you have a particularly bizarre configuration or a defective component, you can be pretty certain that the OS will install and things that you have installed (WiFi adaptors, network cards, graphics cards and so on) will work just fine.
After all, you've paid someone to come up with a workable product where most of the kinks have been worked out (OK, I admit, both Leopard and Vista were released with too many kinks still lurking within the code). The same when you buy a bit of hardware. Hardware is designed to work on particular platforms and if you go out and buy something, again being mindful of the system requirements, things should work out OK for you. This isn't true 100% of the time, but given the billion or so PCs in use, the failure rate is surprisingly low.

Just to reply to a couple things you've said in here:
You say that when you install Windows it will pick up all the hardware in your system automatically. I hate to break it to you, but you'll have better luck with Linux doing that. It's actually a safe bet that Windows isn't going to detect much of anything out of the box. You'll need to download the device drivers for everything in the system including chipset, network cards, video cards, sound cards, etc.
Another thing you mention is movie DVD playback works in XP out of the box. That is also not true. The only media player that comes with Windows does not have the codec required to play back DVDs. You need to install a 3rd party program to accomplish this. Why these third party companies are allowed to provide their codecs with their products and Linux is not allowed, I do not know. I do seem to remember VLC being able to play DVDs, however, and it is free and easily installable. I think that you are confusing installing Windows and getting Windows preinstalled with drivers and software to do all these things. If you buy a computer with Linux pre-installed, it will have the same about of compatibility and support as Windows.
Next you say that Windows "just works". I work in a PC-repair shop, and trust me, Windows doesn't "just work". In fact, most people have messed up their Windows install so bad that it takes a huge amount of time to fix it or simply just having to wipe the system clean and starting over. This is from viruses, malware, or just plainly not having the knowledge of safe computing. I've installed Linux on several new people's machines, gotten them all up and going and, guess what. I go back a year later and it's just as speedy and clean as when I left. That's a huge difference.
Next you move on to support. I've never had a problem with Linux that has had a weird error message, at least compared to Windows.
I don't know, I could find some real reasons to gripe about Linux, but none of your reasons hold water. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it's what I believe.
The hidden cost of Linux? You're kidding me
This article is ridiculous! Author Adrian Kingsley-Hughes claims that Linux has its hidden costs and goes on to list them, but many of his arguments are flat-out wrong or unsupported. Let's check it out:
"When you take a copy of Windows XP, Vista or Mac OS X and you install it onto a system with the appropriate system requirements, chances are that unless you have a particularly bizarre configuration or a defective component, you can be pretty certain that the OS will install and things that you have installed (WiFi adaptors, network cards, graphics cards and so on) will work just fine."
I've seen plenty of MS upgrades go wrong; for ANY operating system, a fresh install is best. Chances are, EVERYONE has a somewhat bizarre setup. With GNU/Linux distributions, you know what is generally going to work and what isn't, especially if your educated guess is based on the last Linux install. With both Mac and Windows, however, once proprietary support is dropped for one component or another, there is a chance that part will never function again. Or maybe the new Vista doesn't have drivers, or they don't load properly (like all too many new Dell's with their soundcard in Vista). Point is, if you rely on an proprietary OS and drivers, you're stuck with their level of functionality and supported lifetime, AFTER going through the hassle of finding the drivers for everything. With modern Linux, almost all drivers are just built right in. Wifi and 3D Graphics Cards are known issues and we all wish they'd work flawlessly always using FLOSS drivers, but they currently don't; the situation is always improving and my graphics and wifi work, but not everyone has my equipment. Bizarre.
Hidden Cost of Enterprise Computing
I'm really fascinated sometimes how many people talk about Linux. This definitely includes your truly - we often talk with our emotions and with some sort of will to make to a headlines. It is not bad to be passionate about something, but it leads sometimes to overvaluing the issue on hand. I make such an error myself at times.
Take for example the article I just read. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from Datamation (IT Management publication) wrote an essay, in which he discusses the hidden costs of using Linux operating system. While he's right on some points here and there, he seems to be missing to be consistent - and mainly he mixes enterprise problems with generic Linux issues. Here's what I'd think:

Funny Joke: House-boy Secret Affair With Madam
Ikemefuna is a house-boy who drinks his Boss' wine with impunity then adds water to cover his tracks. His boss became suspicious and decided to buy Pasties (a French wine that changes color if you add water-just like Dettol). Unaware of this, Ikemefuna drank the wine as usual and topped it up with water.
Immediately he added water, the Pasties became milky and he knew he was in trouble. When the boss came back and saw the changed Pasties, he knew he had nailed Ikemefuna. Ikemefuna, knowing he was in trouble, decided to stay put in the kitchen when his boss came home. The Boss, having told his wife what he observed, now swung into action.
"Ikemefuna!" he called from the sitting room.
Ikemefuna answered: "Yes, Boss."
"Who drank my pasties?"
Ikemefuna: No answer.
So the Boss went to the kitchen to meet him there: "Are you insane or what? Why when I call, you say "Yes, Boss", but when I ask you a question you don't answer me?"
Ikemefuna retorted, "Hmmm, Oga. When you are in the kitchen you don't hear anything at all, except your name."
"Is that so?" asked the Boss, "Okay, go to the bar stand beside Madam, while I go into the kitchen. And then, you ask me a question."
Ikemefuna accepted. When his Boss was in the Kitchen he shouts, "Boss."
"Yesss, Ikem!" Boss answers.
Ikemefuna then asks, "Who goes into the maid's bedroom when Madam is not at home?"
No answer.
Ikemefuna shouts again: "Boss, I say who dey sneak into the maid's room when Madam no dey house?"
No answer.
The Boss runs back from the kitchen shouting, "Wonders shall never cease! Ikemefuna, it is true ooo-when one is in the kitchen, one does not hear anything except one's name."
The wife, now very angry, interrupts, "That's not true. It's a lie! Without a doubt."
Ikemefuna asks if she'll enter the magic kitchen to test it. She agrees.
Ikemefuna asks, "Madam, who is Junior's biological father? Me or the Boss?"
Madam rushed out of the kitchen. "This Kitchen needs to be fumigated ooo! I can't hear anything at all.

Could More Sodium Be Better For Your Health?
A new study in the American Journal of Hypertension suggests that the current USDA dietary guidelines may set the bar too low for sodium consumption. The guidelines currently recommend that adults consume at most 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day (about 1 teaspoon of salt). But researchers note that while high sodium consumption carries risk of hypertension, there are also risks associated with eating too little sodium. In their study, researchers found that most adults had better health outcomes when they consumed between 2,600 and 5,000 milligrams of salt per day (as compared to health outcomes when subjects consumed more or less than that range). Of course, those with genetic risk of high blood pressure should still monitor their sodium consumption. But for others, the current guidelines may prove to be too low.
Organic Crops May Soon Have Their Own Commodities Exchange
Many consumers are unaware of the power of the commodities exchange, where commodity crops such as corn, wheat, and soy are traded. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange controls commodity prices and has international implications on agricultural productivity and food costs. But the CME is only open to conventionally-grown produce, not to newly-booming sectors like organic or GMO-free crops. While the amount of farmland dedicated to producing these alternative crops is still minimal, their market share is rising. Now a new exchange, called Mercaris, seeks to provide the same transparent trading operation for organics as exists for conventional crops. Mercaris could help stabilize the prices of organic crops and lower the cost to consumers. It remains to be seen if the exchange will catch on with farmers and traders.
Number of Home Gardeners Spikes 17% Since 2008
The National Gardening Association has kept track of how many American households are engaged in growing food, either in their own backyards or as part of community gardens, since 1978. Their new report shows that since 2008, the number of food-growing American households has risen 17%, from 36 million to 42 million. The Association credits First Lady Michelle Obama with this significant jump. FLOTUS's pro-gardening and healthy-living messages, in conjunction with her Let's Move! initiative and White House garden, have encouraged many first-time farmers to get their hands dirty. The jump in gardening activity was seen across demographics.
Future Farmers of America Growing at Record Rate
Despite the conception that young people are moving away from agriculture in the U.S., the century-old organization Future Farmers of America is experiencing record membership. Currently, FFA has about 600,000 students registered with chapters across the country. Urban and suburban groups are seeing particularly high enrollment. Part of this growth has to do with FFA's new direction. Instead of training students primarily in farm skills, they are shifting towards more policy, entrepreneurship, and bookkeeping skills. They also emphasize food science as part of their curriculum. All of these areas are of greater interest and provide more useful skills to millenials who grew up interested in agriculture but without access to land.

The past couple of days have been great ones for genea-coincidences and genea-connections. First, Barbara Poole of Life from the Roots notified me via Facebook yesterday that she had found a blog with a Greenville connection and saw that I was not listed among the followers. It turned out that this was Southwest Arkie's new genealogy blog, which I had not found (I had really been missing SW Arkie's old blog, which I thought had gone dormant). Barbara is a real Genea-Angel! And now I know of another Genea-Blogger with a Greenville connection.
Today I got a Facebook note from Terri Kallio of The Ties That Bind, who is researching the Curtice family. A search brought her to my blog - Bettie Curtice Rosser was a close friend of Julia Mister Lewis, the wife of my great-great uncle, William Henry Lewis. Bettie Rosser's grandson was the genea-angel who sent me letters and pictures of Henry and Julia Lewis as well as some family pictures of the Curtices and Rossers. Terri and I are now exchanging information on connections and photographs.
This is why I love being a Genea-Blogger; it's some of the best legal fun you can have!

SAT Tip: Identifying Sentence Errors
This tip on improving your SAT score was provided by Vivian Kerr at Veritas Prep.
Did you know that only 18 sentence-error questions are in the SAT Writing section? Of all the question types in this section, they count for the largest percentage of your writing score. If you rock the grammar skills you already have, and practice a few hundred sentence-error questions, you'll easily get most of these correct.
Step 1—Identify the part of speech. What part of speech is underlined? Is it a verb, preposition, adjective, adverb, or pronoun? The SAT loves to test the same errors over and over, and we know that each part of speech comes with some predictable errors.
Is the underlined section a verb? Double-check that it agrees with its subject in number and plurality and that the verb tense is logical with the timeline of the sentence.
Is the underlined section a pronoun? Make sure it has a clear antecedent (the thing the pronoun refers to) and that the pronoun agrees with the antecedent in number. Make sure, as well, that the personal pronouns ("who" and "whom," for example) are used to refer only to people, not things.
Is the underlined section a preposition? The preposition could be part of an idiom. Does the preposition make sense with the word that immediately precedes it? For example, we can't say "afraid from," only "afraid of." Is the transition appropriate? Make a flashcard of the most common idioms and learn them as you would vocabulary words. Idioms alone account for approximately 10 percent of your SAT Writing score.
Is the underlined section an adverb or adjective? Adjectives can describe only nouns, while adverbs can describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Is there a word modifying a verb that needs an –ly suffix?
Step 2—Check for parallelism errors. Once you've examined each of the underlined portions, identified the parts of speech, and double-checked for the most likely errors associated with that part of speech, reread the sentence as a whole and look for any parallelism. Items in a list (separated by commas), comparisons, and (in general) multiple verbs must be in the same format. For comparisons, remember that only "like" things can be compared with each other: people to people and things to things.
Step 3—Still no error? Choose (E). Remember to trust yourself. After you've worked through each underlined part of speech and checked for parallelism in the sentence as a whole, you may still not be able to find an error. Don't worry: Three to five sentence error questions you encounter on test day (nearly a third) will have no error, making (E) the correct answer.
As you prep for your SAT, if you find yourself choosing (E) too often, it's likely you'll need to spend more time studying the most common types of grammatical SAT errors: idioms, run-on sentences, fragments, parallelism, subject-verb agreement, etc. If you find yourself hardly ever correctly choosing (E), then you need to relax and trust yourself. Don't look for errors that aren't there.

I also have the newer checkered wood grips but reverted to the black plastic ones after one day as the wood grips made the gun handle too thick, even for my large hands. Not so with these aluminum grips, if anything they slightly reduce the overall thickness of the handle. And the gripping of the checkering on these grips is much better than the original plastic grips, the plastic grips seem smooth by comparison. I did not use the lock washers for the screws, they made the screws protrude out too far and from the look of the pictures here, Beretta did not use the lock washers either in their pictures, it's the only way to have the screws flush with the grips.

There's now a more defined timeline for when gold mine construction could begin in Kershaw.
Last week, Romarco Minerals Inc. issued a media release to inform the public that the U.S. Corps of Engineers has posted a schedule for completion of its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Romarco Minerals is the parent company of Haile Gold Mine Inc.
That EIS is for a federal wetlands permit to give Romarco the go-ahead to begin mine construction. The company has occupied the historic site since 2007. It's located a few miles east of the town of Kershaw.

As one of the very first planned communities in the area, Venice has attained maturity, earning it strong ratings for general economic growth and future job projections. Its pedestrian-friendly streets and paths provide residents with a small-city lifestyle. With more than 300 full-service restaurants, an average commute of 19 minutes, an unemployment rate 1 percent below the national average, and a median home cost of $170,700 (and yielding a 3.90 percent appreciation return), Venice is increasingly becoming home to those discovering its varied treasures. The sun shines about 70 percent of time, and temperatures average 75 degrees throughout the year. In addition, this smaller city offers families a generous selection of educational options, from public and private schools to more than half a dozen colleges and universities.
This town of approximately 22,000 residents sits along the beautiful sugar sands of the Florida Gulf Coast, with Sarasota just to the north and Cape Coral to the south. With nearly 20 percent growth in population over the last decade, Venice offers a feast for the senses. When it comes to homes for sale, its classic 1920s architecture and contemporary strategic planning immediately capture the imagination and offer possibilities for an unsurpassable quality of life. Residents can choose from beachside condos, sophisticated urbane structures, or spacious single-family homes with golf course views.

Toshiba Corp. confirmed it is in talks to buy Fujitsu's hard-disk drive business, according to Reuters. The deal would reportedly be worth $340 million to $450 million. Fujitsu held previous talks to sell the unit to Western Digital (WDC), but those talks collapsed late last year.
A Fujitsu spokesman told Reuters that it was in talks with multiple parties on the future of its hard-drive business.
A deal between the two companies could be seen as good news for the other remaining drive companies, which includes Western Digital, Seagate (STX), Hitachi and Samsung.

JACKSONVILLE – That's it. We're done.
I'm not retiring or taking a day off, though there are doubtless plenty who would love that idea. I'm not getting fired, either – not to my knowledge and most likely at least not this week. Not with all the higher-ups at The Players Championship.
We're just not doing it anymore, and if you don't know what it is, you haven't been on Twitter and you're darned sure not practicing law in Central Florida. So, you won't read about it here. Not today and not this weekend, and not next week.
One-week hiatus. Minimum. Starting now. I promise.
Let's get to it . . .
