Avoid TFA funding being delayed, denied
Since its establishment in 1925, The American Legion Temporary Financial Assistance program has awarded cash grants to minor children of veterans eligible for American Legion membership. These grants are used toward providing basic needs for children, such as shelter, utilities, food, clothing and medical. Since 9/11, $5 million has been distributed to families in need.
However, TFA applications are oftentimes submitted incomplete to The American Legion National Headquarters, causing a delay in the funding process or even denial. Therefore, during the Legion's recent fifth annual Children & Youth Conference in Indianapolis, a number of items to remember when filling out the application were mentioned to avoid any conflicts.
- The application should be filled out by a case investigator, which is anyone at the post level. After completion, appropriate signatures must be obtained from the case investigator, applicant and either the department service, adjutant or children & youth chairperson. If any of these signatures are bypassed, the application will be sent back marked "incomplete," causing further delay in funding.
- To be eligible for the grant, the child(ren) must be 17 years or younger, or under the age of 20 and still enrolled in approved high school courses, unmarried and living at home full time. Also, the child(ren) must be the biological or in legal custody of a veteran who is, or would have been, eligible to become a member of The American Legion. However, membership is not required to apply for the grant.
- Don't leave blank or overlook any questions on the application - the applicant's story must be explained in full detail or the grant could be denied due to lack of important information.
- Under "financial information" on the form, list entire amount of family household income. A commonly left-off item is financial earnings from a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend. As far as the Legion is concerned, they too are contributing to household bills.
- Do not put "NA" when filling out questions under "other assistance." Make sure the applicant has exhausted all military and non-military resources available to them (i.e., food stamps) because the TFA grant is just that - temporary. If the applicant has not made contact with other resources, that could have bearing whether or not he or she is granted TFA.
- When requesting for a bill to be paid, the applicant must submit the most current bill and all creditor information must be filled out.
- Every case gets reviewed immediately. If approved, a check can be mailed as quickly as two days and if not approved, a letter is faxed back to the department stating "incomplete" or "denied" with an explanation why. In either case, the applicant should be contacted for an explanation to the missing details needed for approval.
- TFA applications should not be available for download on any department's website. If it is, applicants have the ability to fill out and submit the application, bypassing all proper channels needed for a grant to be approved.

The shade is a perfect hit. It has the right amount of yellow undertones which matches my skin perfectly. I have 02.
Blending it is easy. When I didn't have any makeup tools, I used to apply it with fingers and it blended nicely. Later I moved on to foundation brushes which provided even better finish and now I've graduated to kabuki brushes and it blends perfectly.
The coverage is sheer to medium and you can build it up.
It has Spf 8 as per their claims.
Doesn't look cakey and heavy. Although you do need a moisturizer underneath.
It melts down in the summer sun and wears off. So using it in summers is a very bad idea.
It transfers to your cell phones and shirts even after blending properly- Don't wear it out in the summer heat!

Colorectal cancer (also called colon cancer) is one of the few cancer types that often can be prevented through recommended screening – tests done in people who have no symptoms of the disease. These tests can also catch colorectal cancer earlier, when it is easier to treat. The American Cancer Society recommends regular colon cancer screening for most people starting at age 50.
While many Americans in general are not getting the recommended screenings, there are certain groups that are lagging behind more than others. Colon cancer screening rates are lowest among:
- low-income individuals
- those with no health insurance
- those with less education
- certain racial and ethnic minorities
- those living in rural areas
There are various reasons that these groups do worse than others. These include lack of access to health care, low health literacy, and language and cultural barriers. A number of American Cancer Society-funded researchers are currently working on new ways to address these barriers – and help groups that are falling behind catch up on potentially life-saving colorectal cancer screening tests.
Below are the stories of what 5 grantees are doing to increase colorectal cancer screening rates in populations that are struggling most.
1. Personal vs. Automated Phone-Call Follow-Up Reminders
Research has shown that those with limited health literacy are less likely to get screened for colorectal cancer. This is why Connie Arnold, Ph.D., at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, is testing different health literacy interventions to increase colorectal cancer screening among low-income and underinsured populations.
She is comparing the effectiveness of two different screening promotion strategies:
- A personal reminder call to complete and return colorectal cancer screening kits and to discuss barriers to screening.
- A call from an automated system simply encouraging the patient to complete and return their colorectal cancer screening kit.
Arnold will study these follow-up strategies in Federally Qualified Health Centers, which are facilities that get money from the government to serve an underserved area or group . All patients in the study will first receive easy-to-understand information about colorectal cancer screening and a do-it-yourself take-home screening kit – known as a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) – with simplified instructions.
The automated call, according to Arnold, is lower cost and requires fewer resources than the personalized call. But personalization, she believes, may do a better job of addressing patients' barriers to screening.
Arnold believes that providing easy-to-read and culturally appropriate information, as well as easy-to-access testing and ongoing encouragement, will greatly increase colorectal cancer screening rates among groups that are lagging behind.
2. Reaching the Patient vs. the Provider
Charles Basch, Ph.D., at Columbia University Health Sciences Center in New York, has previously found that telephone outreach to hard-to-reach, low-income, minority populations can increase their likelihood of getting screened for colorectal cancer. But, even when called, most of the people Basch's team talked to still didn't get screened.
This finding led Basch to want to take a hard look at the role doctors can play in encouraging patients to get screened. Now, Basch is leading a new study to determine whether reaching out in person to primary care physicians is in fact more effective at increasing colorectal cancer screening in these populations than the direct-to-patient phone calls he tested in his past research. He is also going to test the two strategies in combination.
At the individual-level, Basch will educate people about colorectal cancer screening options and encourage them to speak with their doctor. At the provider-level, he will educate physicians about low screening rates and the need to motivate patients to get screened.
Basch hopes the results will be able to guide programs to increase colorectal cancer screening in hard-to-reach populations.
3. The Potential Power of the Photo Novella
Clement Gwede, Ph.D., at the Moffitt Cancer Center at the University of South Florida, is looking to address the lower colorectal cancer screening rates among blacks. To do so, Gwede has developed a "culturally targeted program" that includes a low-literacy photo novella booklet about colorectal cancer screening.
He is going to compare the effectiveness of the photo booklet to a standard text-heavy brochure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in terms of getting participants who have never been screened or who are overdue for their screening to get tested. His study will focus on a population of ethnically diverse blacks aged 50 to 75.
According to Gwede, if the photo novella outperforms the standard CDC brochure, "the intervention could be applied more widely in this population and for other culturally distinct populations."
4. Multimedia Plus Patient Navigators to Get Latinos Screened
Latinos face numerous barriers when it comes to getting needed colorectal cancer screening tests. Daniel Reuland, MD, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, says that Latinos specifically grapple with language and cultural barriers. To overcome these challenges, Reuland is testing the effectiveness of the combination of two unique interventions: multimedia decision aids and patient navigators (professionals whose job it is to help patients get through the healthcare system).
Reuland's study, which is focused on Latinos aged 50 to 75, will show patients a video – in either English or Spanish – that explains colon cancer screening "using easy-to-understand narrated segments, patient testimonials, graphics, and animations." Patients will be shown the video before they see their doctor. After patients watch the video and see their doctor, a bilingual patient navigator will help them complete the screening process.
Reuland hopes his innovative intervention, which he says is a practical solution, will prove effective and ultimately be widely implemented.
5. Helping Latinos Help Each Other
Jamilia Sly, Ph.D., at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is also exploring a new approach to increasing colorectal cancer screening rates among Latinos. Sly's previous research has shown that training African Americans to help other African Americans navigate the colorectal cancer screening process has worked to increase screening rates. In her new project, Sly will test this same model among Latinos.
Sly's team will train Latinos who have had a colonoscopy to help other Latinos go through the screening process. She calls this "peer navigation." The study will involve the creation of a culturally specific training program for the Latino peer navigators.
Sly believes that, if successful, the peer navigator model for Latinos could be executed on a larger scale and ultimately increase colonoscopy screening rates among this group.

In the world of photography, good photos are ones that craftily showcase the subject matter. Reading suggestions from a variety of sources can help you in this matter. These tips will help you take better photographs and have people talking about your skills. Use the advice in this article to take photographs that will be admired for their eye-catching beauty.
Try not to capture an overcast sky when taking pictures. If you have too much gray sky in your photo it will make it look muted. If the sky is overcast, perhaps you should shoot the photograph in black and white. A clear blue sky is always lovely in a photo, but adjust your settings to account for bright light.
Try different perspectives, and take original photos. Good pictures show personal expression and convey a message. Stay away from taking classic pictures that people have seen a million times. Develop different angles for your photographs, and do not be afraid to explore your imaginative side.
A dSLR is an essential tool if you seek to take more professional photographs or to seriously embrace photography itself. SLR is short for "single lens camera." This type of camera allows you to see exactly what the camera sees as you take your shot. Digital SLRs, or DSLRs, also allow you to see the finished photo immediately so that you can determine whether the photograph was successful. Get a full-frame DSLR for a better image sensor, and more details.
When shooting landscapes, it is important for you to create depth within the image. If you have an object or person in the foreground of the picture, it can help you deduce the scale of the photograph. To gain sharper images, adjust your aperture to a smaller setting; try f/16 for full-frame single lens reflex cameras and f/8 for the more standard digital ones.
All parts of the landscape will be visible in your picture, so be sure to pay attention to what will be at the front of the image. The foreground in each shot should be modified to add depth and increase the overall impact within the frame.
Tinker with your cameras manual white balance. When you take shots inside, you usually end up with a yellowish color because of the light-bulbs. Instead of altering the lights in the room, try playing with the white balance for a new atmosphere. This will give your pictures a professional appearance.
Experiment with you camera's shutter speed settings. Educate yourself about the advantages of different shutter speeds. There are S, P, M,and A settings on your camera. The "P" stands for program mode. This mode will completely automate the shutter and aperture selection process. If you are unclear what settings you want to apply, just use "P" setting.
When taking pictures of people, make sure that the background is slightly blurred. If the background is too crisp or clear, viewers may get distracted by it or be unsure of which part of your photograph to pay the most attention to. You can do this by simply moving your background even further away from the subject.
There is an erroneous emphasis on placing your subject in the center of your photograph. Perfection is valued in our society, and rightfully so, but when it comes to creating interesting photographs, try pointing your camera in a way that puts your subject slightly off-center. If your camera has an auto-focus feature, it may try to lock onto whatever appears in the middle of the frame. Focus manually, and lock focus just before shooting the picture.
Try to experiment with perspective, expression, and scale. Even an ordinary object can be transformed into a work of art if its setting makes it appear dramatically magnified or diminished in size or placed in a situation that is humorous or unique. Get creative with the composition of your photographs to come up with some inventive representations of commonplace objects.
Use limitation to help you become more creative. For instance, tell yourself that you will only take pictures that revolve around a particular concept. Then go and take 100 different photos in the same room or with the same point of view. You can use these limitations to make you think outside the usual parameters.
Shoot quickly when you are taking photos. You never know when that perfect shot will occur, or if something may cause your subject to leave. Taking your shots quickly ensures you are always ready to capture that ideal image. It takes only seconds for an animal to run away or hide. People's smiles begin to look strained after a short period of time. That cresting wave or speeding SR-71 jet fighter that seemed to appear out of nowhere isn't going to pause while you fiddle with your flash. Do not pay so much attention to adjusting your settings that you miss the shot you want to take.
Focus on your subject. The quality of the overall photo is hugely impacted by whether or not the focus is on your subject. There's plenty of room for creativity and personal expression in photographs, but you need to keep your subject in clear focus so that viewers know what they're looking at. This is especially true when you first start out, keep the main subject in view and centered. The background will do it's own thing.
Consider lighting carefully when taking photos. Some photos are more striking when taken in shadow, while others need you to expose the subject's highlights. On the other hand, if you take two pictures, using different conditions, you can use software to blend the two together into one image of perfection.
You can make anything look interesting by adjusting your camera's settings, using a different kind of lighting or even by just changing the shot angle. Mess around with all these aspects and notice how you can change the look of each shot.
As you can tell from these tips, you can get a great photo that will capture a great memory. You'll need to practice often and learn as much as you can, but you'll appreciate the results your hard work brings in the end!

I hear rumors and whispers that Purdue is now cursed! People are telling me that ever since Burke announced Purdue Pete would be changed, things haven't been going well for Purdue athletics. Here are my thoughts.
Curses, to me are merely the excuses of losers. All kidding aside- I lived in Boston a few years before they made their amazing comeback from three games down...back then, the Sox faithful loved their misery and reveled in whining about why and how they lose. Cubs fans are the same- being a lovable loser has become their identity. More times than not, the Red Sox have limited post-season success because they're in the Yankees division...and the Yanks win at all costs. Similarly, the Cubs don't win pennants because the Cardinals own them and the division. Shockingly, success, or lack there of, has little to do with goats, a traded pitcher or a mascot change. Similarly, schools that make winning a priority (get this), win games.
The argument that Purdue can't win because of proximity to aOSU, UND and Michigan is asinine. TCU wins in Texas because they have an AD that made winning a priority over a decade ago and have had two coaches that have been creative in their recruiting. Atop that, the university has backed the program fully giving them the tools they request to win. Iowa was a doormat for decades, but Frye took a big step forward with the help of a good AD and Ferentz has helped the Hawkeyes take the mythological, if not ethereal "next step". Remember, Iowa has always had to recruit against Nebraska. Heck, even look at Northwestern...bad facilities, high academic standards, close proximity to one of college football's historical giants...and instead of dwelling of the on-going effects (and potential "curse") of Wheeler & Walker's deaths, they're simply succeeding.
One thing Joe Tiller did very well early in his years in West Lafayette is he thought differently and approached problems from a new angle. Can't run v. the mosters of the BT? Short passes, hot routes and bubble screens. Can't get the recruits from the Midwest? Go after guys in Texas who aren't coveted by the big boys. Danny Hope's attempting to do the same down in talent-laden Florida...I think it's a good tactic.
Burke has decided to focus on fixing something that's not broken (Pete)...and makes sure to run the athletic department like a business by perpetually focusing on the bottom line. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to keep the bottom line in mind...it's a very good thing, no doubt. But to me, it seems the focus should be on winning, and doing it the right way. He refuses to pursue the highest-caliber, most-qualified coaches, and instead settles for inexpensive options with heavy Purdue ties. Matt Painter has turned out to be a brilliant hire. But, remember, Matty only had one year of head coaching under his belt when hired to God's country. He's already lost assistants because his budget is too low...and worse yet, he has an out clause in his contract after this season that might allow him to leave town...all because Purdue and its athletic department's focus doing things on the cheap.
Hope was an inexpensive option with moderate success at his previous job...but had Purdue ties. He's currently the second-lowest paid coach in the BT...and more than that, his staff is extremely-low paid. Worse yet, many of them coach like it. Whether or not Hope was the perfect fit for the job at this point, matters little. What does matter, is he needs all tools at his disposal to be successful.
So is there a curse? Perhaps...but it's not caused by the sports gods smiting our Boilers...This one is self-inflicted. It's definitely not caused by Pete's imminent exit...but instead, Purdue athletics will be cursed as long as this entity continues to think small time and has a fanbase that does the same. I think you break sports curses pretty simply- if something isn't working, try something new.
But, keeping with tradition simply because that's the way things are done is a disease that Purdue's athletic department has been infected with with for decades. It's everywhere- from crappy fans who get angry at those who have the audacity to cheer and stand at games (gasp!!), to alums and ticket holders that accept .500 (or worse) records as a bi-product of us simply being who we are...to coaches and administrators that focus on Purdue's limitations instead of trying to do things creatively and differently than their competition.
The culture must change in order for the real curse to be lifted.

Ek main aur Ekk tu is a good album, with some variety thrown in by Amit Trivedi. It's not his type 1, with Anurag Kashyap connection and lots of rock, but type 2, something like Aisha, where there is variety, and freshness. However, I can feel a touch of Anjaana Anjaani in the album, in some of the songs.

If you're going off to college, you're probably heading there with a fair amount of expensive equipment: a laptop, a smartphone, an MP3 player -- maybe even a video camera. That stuff's not cheap, and you definitely don't want to trust it to a cheap dorm safe!
This unit is ready to protect your stuff. Custom-designed for dorm rooms, its solid steel and its vertical form-factor means it saves precious dorm space and will fit easily into a closet or under a desk. Yet it's roomy enough inside to fit the largest 18-inch laptops. (And its upright design means you don't have to get on your knees every time you want to grab your laptop!)
Its clever lock opens with your choice of your favorite PIN code or just a swipe of your credit card or driver's license. (It's important that it's quick and easy to operate -- otherwise you won't bother using it!) The safe attaches to a plate that can be bolted down to the floor to securely hold the safe, and all items within it, in place. And it boasts a full-length hinge that adds rigidity and helps protect contents from theft.
Some colleges may have restrictions about securing things (like safes) to the floor of a dorm room.
Just in case, use the vinyl coated steel security cable included with your dorm safe as a way of making sure no one takes off with your safe with your property inside.
The Stealth Dorm Safe comes standard with a vinyl-coated steel cable that will secure your Dorm Safe to a pipe, bed leg, or other stationary object in your dorm room.
Afraid your nosey roommate is looking over your shoulder while you retrieve your wallet or laptop out of your Dorm Safe?
Press the * button before entering your code and your code will be hidden from the screen-- and your nosey roommate.

April 26, 2012 12:53:39 PM
WEST POINT -- Pat and Judy Clark, of Columbus, have been attending football games at the University of Mississippi almost all of their lives.
Season ticket holders for the past 30 years, the couple couldn't imagine spending Saturdays in the fall anywhere other than Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and the adjacent tailgating area in the Grove.
So it wasn't surprising the Clarks were in attendance Wednesday at Old Waverly Golf Club for the Rebel Road Trip's only stop this year in the Golden Triangle area.
"Coach (Hugh) Freeze asked us to be all in and we are definitely that," Judy Clark said. "Through thick and thin, we will be there to support our Rebels. Every year we are excited about the season. We look forward to going to the games and catching up with old friends. I could never imagine not going."
Freeze will make his coaching debut this fall in Oxford. After a two-year stint as a coach at Arkansas State University, Freeze has been charged with rebuilding a program that is 6-18 and has won only one Southeastern Conference game in the past two years. Those numbers led to the end of Houston Nutt's time as coach after four seasons.
"If we are going to row the boat, everyone will have to paddle in the same direction," Freeze said. "When you have everybody steering the boat, there is not enough leftover time to be rocking it. Not every fan is going to agree with every decision I make. However, we have to have them on board and we have to have them all in."
Prior to Nutt's arrival, Ole Miss won 10 games in Ed Orgeron's three seasons, including only three conference games. Declining attendance was a primary reason why Orgeron didn't get a fourth season. Despite the recent struggles, attendance figures remained strong under Nutt, who won nine games in each of his first two seasons and led the team to wins against Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl.
Freeze hopes the support remains through a rebuilding effort he has termed "a long process." Freeze reminded the 200 or so in attendance Wednesday that success will be a "work in progress" and "not come overnight."
"Ole Miss is my alma mater. I would never think of pulling for another team," West Point's Michael Chandler said. "With Coach Freeze, we have brought in a man of integrity and a man of character. We know he is going to do things the right way. I have supported him from day one. There is a tremendous amount of pressure and tremendous amount of expectations.
"As fans, we realize we play in the toughest conference in the nation. However, there are several teams in the conference who have similar economic situations as ours. We should be able to compete with those teams year in and year out."
Meredith Little was in attendance Wednesday. She was disappointed she didn't get more details about the 2012 football team, which completed spring drills Saturday in Oxford. However, she quickly added she is a big fan of Freeze. The thing that made the biggest impression on her Wednesday morning was something she heard from new athletics director Ross Bjork.
"We have a bright, energetic AD," Little said. "I think it is safe to say the days of doing things the old way are gone. I have heard Bjork has been all over campus meeting athletes, teachers, and students. You can tell he is energetic and quick on his feet.
"With so many things that need to be addressed in the athletic department, I am really happy to see we have a man in place who finally gets it. I don't think we will be last in the league any more in any areas."
Freeze, Bjork, and Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones each had a similar message for the capacity crowd in the dining area at Old Waverly. Each asked for patience, attendance as often as possible, and continued financial support to help bolster one of the SEC's smallest athletic budgets.
"Going to school there opened the door to so many opportunities in life," Pat Clark said. "I have so many lifelong friends I met while attending school there. I support the school every way I can, both academically and athletically. My wife attended Ole Miss. My children attended Ole Miss. In fact, both of my children met their spouses at Ole Miss.
"The university has been such an integral part of my life. The Rebels will get my love and support until the day I die."

bill-swift - February 13, 2016
Did somebody say hot Brits? I guess I did. A whole gaggle of British models and reality starlets and various and assorted other semi-famous to famous 20-something English gals got together for a sponsored Valentine's bash out in London town to complain I'm sure about how amazing looking women decked out in tight and showy dresses can never find dates.
Charlotte Dawson and Jasmine Walia and Abigail Clarke and the like looked like a million damn British pounds partying at Gilgamesh and reminding everybody that the best time to be had on Valentine's Day isn't trying to please a woman already digs you kind of, but pleasing a whole bunch of women who don't even know you yet. Just saying, you've got options. Not a London club, but there's something very nearby you I bet. Tally ho! Enjoy.

An extremely horrible design glitch in SGML is that SGML uses "--" to begin a comment, but "--" is also an Nmtoken. There are thus a number of places where any reasonable person would expect to be able to write a comment, but you can't. You have to use a different schema language, One of the features in the full version of SGML is that an attribute can be specified as "DATA <notation> <pattern>" where <notation> specifies one of the standardised regular expression notations and <pattern> is a pattern in that notation saying what good values look like. I've always thought it a pity that XML didn't retain that feature.

Dear Ron and Tammy,
Thank you for handling my claim in a way that made it easy to deal with. The future is always uncertain but now I have a bit of a cushion if my ankle continues to deteriorate. I appreciated being able to meet in the Sherwood Park area initially and deal primarily by email or phone. Anyway, I appreciate your help in this matter!

Getting 4WD Tyre Pressure Right
Ive long said that the single best value for money modification you can make to your 4WD that will get you further off-road than anything else, hands down, is tyre pressures. Adjusting air pressure in your tyres can cost you nothing, yet it is the single best thing you can do to your rig across the board to increase performance.
Adjusting your tyre pressures increases or decreases your tyres footprint or surface area in contact with the ground. This offers lesser or greater resistance (grip) and alters your tyres reaction to the terrain over which youre travelling.
Starting with the blacktop, I would hazard a guess that I keep an eye on my road pressures at the very least once a month but probably more frequently. A few years back I found on my GU that by increasing my road pressures well above what I had been running them at, I was able to save a litre of diesel per 100kms travelled. Just by getting my on-road pressures correct. Its like Im making money now as a result!
As soon as I leave the black top and venture on to any other style of terrain for a prolonged distance, Im instantly thinking pressures. From black top its very common to hit high speed gravel (my second favourite terrain to beach driving by the way) and to rack up some big distances on said terrain. Road pressures suck on gravel; its uncomfortable for you and your passengers and contributes towards the creation of corrugations. Dropping your pressures, as well as your speed, smooths out the ride, makes it safer. High pressures and gravel combined with speed equals a lack of grip . hold on! As a very general rule of thumb, for high speed gravel Ill drop my tyres to around 28PSI.
I mentioned corrugations and on some lengths of track they can be utterly diabolical. Head out towards Steep Point, the most westerly point on mainland Australia and youll see what I mean. These tracks still allow you to travel with speed but high pressures will just about rattle your rig to pieces. In these conditions Ill drop my pressures into the low 20 PSI range and then adjust my speed to find a comfortable maximum.
Next up lets think about low range conditions, steeps, rocks, ruts, mud and anything else that causes you to engage the stubby lever. Its in these conditions that traction is key. Low pressures increase the ground surface area that your tyres are in contact with. More contact area, greater possible traction. Also, lower pressures enable your tyres to mould around obstacles, again improving contact, reducing the risk of tyre damage and increasing traction. My go-to starting point for anything low range is 18 PSI.
Then we have sand; perhaps the most critical location for correct tyre pressures. As a rule of thumb, as soon as I hit a beach, I drop my tyres to 15 PSI. I then perform a very quick test to see if Im in the ball park; simply build speed then disengage your gears, stop accelerating and let your 4WD coast to a stop. If your pressure is correct your vehicle will come to a slow and gradual stop. If your pressures are too high, you will stop suddenly as the tyres dig in. This is a fantastic rule to work by and I urge you to give it a crack. Remember the lower your pressures, the slower you must drive and avoid sharp turns as you run the risk of busting a tyre bead, which is a real pain in the backside.
Learn to master this art and I assure you, any terrain will be looked upon differently; youll drive more efficiently, in more comfort, with greater traction and further, simply thanks to the best value modification you can make, tyre pressures.

That's about what I used to do in the Outback with LT-metric KO2s.
I now use P-metric Falken Wildpeak AT3W on a Toyota 4Runner Offroad Edition and don't air down at all. I would for a beach or a consistently difficult rocky trail but they are great in rock, loose rock mixed with coarse sand, and dirt, not to mention pavement, all on 33 psi.
Also, the Falken Wildpeak has the same shoulder protectors in all tire types (P to E-load LT) and the sidewalls are very strong even in P (though even stronger in E).
Maybe others will take note and start making tough P-metric tires.

Hi MiddleAgeSubie ,
Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion!
Kind Regards,
The Bridgestone Team
choose right presure for situation is as much important as right tire itself and could give all grip difference in the world. subarus not heavy 4wd cars so we no need go as much extreme i guess, thou on other side as car is lighter its not put much weight on tire and making it more grippy. i know people used 1 bar/14.5psi on foresters with general grabbers in forest and sand areas and they were holding still ok .
if your car grips good enough with normal preasure , then imagine how better it would do with lowered psi. as i not lower my psi or bar when just go on short track or just in forest. never had yet any problems with my 2,1-2,2 bar/ 32psi there. using same on street as well. i like it more softer ride .
still with every car model and every tire only we can find best option for us to drive and to feel car. and every offroad style needs diff preasures as well. just local offroad in mud or rock climbing needs one thing and overlanding covering lots ground needs something else. i see no point to lower psi just for some 2-5 km on some forest track i found. if it would be planned and be like 30-50 km then sure. or if i would see its really bad track im going to or no track at all. then its good point to go low , even very low on psi. i yet need to test that , just not have that kinda terrain i guess for that.
I drop to 25psi once I leave the blacktop. I find it works for gravel roads, mud and general off roading. As I don't go on sand, snow or ice I cannot say but by all accounts for sand at least it would be a lot less. I remember a year or so ago we were travelling on a dirt road and the car felt quite skittish at 40 psi. As we would be on it for a while we dropped to 25 and what a difference. The car was far more stable and much nicer to drive.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, nothing beats driving out there and knowing what your car can do and how it feels on the tracks, as every car and driver is different.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The drop in tyre pressures would have also saved your tyres from getting an untimely puncture!

Ivan IV Vasilyevich's personality is a subject of fascination among historians. Some claim that he tortured animals as a young child, but whether or not this is true, his youth could not have been easy: both of his parents had died by the time he was eight years old. At the age of 16, he was the first to be crowned "Tsar of All the Russias." Though his rule began with peaceful reforms, his paranoia and fits of rage grew worse as he matured, especially after the death of his wife Anastasia. His legacy eventually became one of mental illness and ruthlessness toward the nobility.

Prosetta, a San Francisco developer of new antiviral therapies, raised $2 million in early financing, VentureWire reports (subscription required). The company termed the funding a "series AAA" round that has the same terms as its earlier $1 million "series A" and $5 million "series AA" financings, but different valuations. Individual investors provided the entire funding, which values the company at over $20 million.
Prosetta, founded by Vishwanath Lingappa, Jaisri Lingappa and other UCSF academics, is working on small-molecule drugs — that is, compounds that can be taken orally — to disrupt the protein coats, or capsids, that viruses form to protect their genes. The company's first candidate will target hepatitis C.

What to see and to do?
about 10 years ago about Dijon, France
We're planning a car-trip across and around France this June. Our first stop on the way from Paris is Dijon. We're going to be there for half a day and one night (08.06/09.06) and it would be nice to see something Dijon-special. What would you recommend? Local events and not-so-tourist spots are most welcome!

A media black out on the effects of radiation on our people, animals, and food chain?
DATA regarding the coverup HERE
January 1, 2014 fukushima cover up story and video
"... Fukushima's contamination of the United States, particularly the West Coast, is not being reported. The decontamination process on the West Coast is not happening..."
"The west coast of the United States is being absolutely fried by radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the mainstream media is not telling us the truth about this." reports Michael Snyder on Tuesday in his article, 36 Signs That Media Is Lying To You About How Radiation From Fukushima Is Affecting The West Coast.
Tuesday, Michael Snyder published a startling collection of evidence showing that the West Coast is being bombarded with Fukushima radiation impacting sea and human life in this ongoing mega human rights violation anticipated to result in preventable deaths.
The following is Snyder's list, edited for brevity.
#1 Independent researchers have measured alarmingly high radiation levels on West Coast beaches. [See video on this page dated Dec. 23rd, 2013 at Pacifica State Beach showing radiation levels near the water are up to five times higher than normal background radiation.]
#2 According to Oceanus Magazine, the total amount of cesium-137 released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima is 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than Chernobyl released into oceans or 1960s atmospheric nuclear weapons tests.
[Also see article and video: Nuclear whistleblowers: Stop lying about Fukushima]
#3 Former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur admitted that while at MSNBC, he was instructed not to warn the public about radiation from Fukushima…

"Professor: Fukushima Is Absolutely Horrifying (Video)
Wednesday, November 27, 2013 6:45
Excerpts from an Interview with Professor Robert Jacobs, Hiroshima City University, Nov. 27, 2013:
I see the catastrophe as absolutely horrifying and ongoing. There is no discernible end in sight to this tragedy, radiation will continue to seep into the Pacific Ocean for decades...
they knew that there had been a full meltdown on the first day of the disaster, and three full meltdowns by the third day, they denied this for almost three months. [...] fuel has melted and is now located somewhere unknown beneath the reactor building [...] if some rice is contaminated above this legal level it is not removed from the food supply, but rather is mixed with uncontaminated rice until it is below this level. This is a process for moving contaminated food into the food supply [...] But by far the most disastrous thing is to allow so many children to remain in contaminated areas. All children should be removed from contaminated areas immediately [...]
Prof. Jacobs, Oct. 18, 2013 (at 3:30 in): Nobody really knows how to solve the problems at Fukushima. There is nobody who has solutions to these. The problems at Fukushima are unprecedented [...] There's no solution that other countries have that they can come in and fix the reactors, or rather shut down the contamination, shut down the leaks[...] those experts will be at a loss it how to solve the immense problems that we'll be facing for decades in Fukushima.
This is exactly how I feel. Helpless and I'm just sitting here waiting for something to happen. When you build something big enough that someone on the other side of the planet feels helpless about because its about to collapse and radiate the world, you know you've gone too far. Japan is going to be a ghost island soon and the Japenese people are in danger of dying out. The country is mostly old people and now they are bathing their children in radiation. Terrible. Nothing right now in the world that is happening frustrates me more than this. Environmental groups should be on the streets rioting right now, it's amazing that they aren't..." http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/201...33890.html
humpback and shark videos here:
"...Evidently adding the fact that the Fukushima nuclear plant dumping hundreds of tons of contaminated, radioactive water into the Pacific ocean daily after being devastated from the 2011 earthquake and tsnunami, and that sea life is acting strange, dying off, melting to goo among others things is too hard of a connection for them to make.
Ok, snark aside, ENENEWS quotes CBC News with "something very odd is happening in the Pacific" creatures are acting strangely, turning up where they are "rarely seen..."
#7 Huge numbers of dead birds are dropping dead, washing up along Alaska's coastlines, and many of the carcasses are "broken open and bleeding".
#8 Recent deaths of thousands of birds in Oregon is absolutely baffling scientists.
#9 Something is causing large numbers of seals and walruses up in Alaska to lose hair and develop "oozing sores".
#10 Substantial numbers of polar bears along the Alaska coast are suffering fur loss and open sores.
#11 An epidemic of sea lion deaths is occurring along California's coastline.
#12 Sockeye salmon population along the coastlines of Alaska is at a "historic low".
#13 Pacific herring are bleeding from their gills, bellies and eyeballs.
#14 Dangerous levels of cesium-137 have been found in mushrooms and berries along the West Coast.
#15 According to an absolutely shocking report by National Academy of Sciences, it has been proven that Pacific Bluefin tuna have transported radioactive material "across the entire North Pacific Ocean.
#16 Something is causing a substantial spike in death rate for killer whales off British Columbia's coast.
#17 Experts have found very high levels of cesium-137 in plankton in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the West Coast.
#18 A California test found 15 out of 15 Bluefin tuna were contaminated with Fukushima radiation.
#19 In 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported cesium-137 was found in a very high percentage of fish Japan was selling to Canada:
• 73 percent of the mackerel
• 91 percent of the halibut
• 92 percent of the sardines
• 93 percent of the tuna and eel
• 94 percent of the cod and anchovies
• 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish
[Also see: Radiating Americans: Fukushima rain, Clinton's secret food pact]
#20 An EU-funded study concluded Fukushima released up to 210 quadrillion becquerels of cesium-137 into the atmosphere.
#21 One very experienced Australian adventurer has stated he felt as though "the ocean itself was dead" as he recently journeyed from Japan to San Francisco: "The next leg of the long voyage was from Osaka to San Francisco and for most of that trip the desolation was tinged with nauseous horror and a degree of fear.
"After we left Japan, it felt as if the ocean itself was dead," Macfadyen said.
"We hardly saw any living things. We saw one whale, sort of rolling helplessly on the surface with what looked like a big tumour on its head. It was pretty sickening.
"I've done a lot of miles on the ocean in my life and I'm used to seeing turtles, dolphins, sharks and big flurries of feeding birds. But this time, for 3000 nautical miles there was nothing alive to be seen."
In place of the missing life was garbage in astounding volumes.
"Part of it was the aftermath of the tsunami that hit Japan a couple of years ago. The wave came in over the land, picked up an unbelievable load of stuff and carried it out to sea. And it's still out there, everywhere you look."
#22 Projections are that radioactivity of coastal waters off the U.S. west coast could double within five to six years.
#23 Russia's State Duma Committee for Natural Resources deputy chairman Maxim Shingarkin says seafood captured off the US northwest coast is so radioactive, it represents a "danger for mankind."
Currents in the world ocean are so structured that the areas of seafood capture near the U.S. northwest coast are more likely to contain radioactive nuclides than even the Sea of Okhotsk, which is much closer to Japan. These products are the main danger for mankind because they can find their way to people's tables on a massive scale.

I'm a Los Angeles native who was born in the year of the snake under the sign of the virgin and I love to indulge in my insatiable wanderlust. I spend my time in urban exploration or immersing myself in nature, chasing sunsets and in constant search of beautiful, natural light.
My passions lie in writing and photography which I use to share stories of creative individuals around me. In the past, I have created my own music blog that centered around the underground hip-hop scene in Los Angeles and have also contributed to a number of music and arts + culture blog magazines. I'm fascinated by the many ways you can tell a story, especially in a visual and digital time such as ours!
My greatest joy is to be surrounded by those who inspire and motivate me and I'm at my best when working with other creative minds. When I'm not at work, you can find me stuffing my face (because gluttony is my favorite sin) or enjoying a cappuccino.

The most strange thing is that CP+B did this.
I wonder how much Spike Lee got paid for directing those two magical three-second close-ups of p diddy.
It's so funny to read the responses of non-Americans here. What you may not realize is that this is an "advertisement". It does not reflect "real life". Americans hate many of today's most famous celebrities. The only people who like Sean "P. Diddy" Combs are people who think that they can gain something from him or his likeness. he's a brand just like Burger King is. Nobody likes Paris Hilton for who she is, but young impressionable teenage girls "like" her because she provides a polar extreme to balance societies perspective on their vacuous, shallow lifestyles. Guys "like" her because she seems to solidify their understanding that women are moronic objects desperate for their attention. Advertisers stuff these images down their customer's throats because it makes it really easy to advertise to them. The advertisers say "people listen to 'Diddy'" enough that everyone just assumes its alright to start doing it. It makes their jobs easier and makes them seem more "connected" with their consumers, even if they end up seeming unconnected form reality.
You can't stereotype a culture from their advertisements. If you did that, can you imagine what Japan would seem like? What England would seem like? What North Korea would seem like?
Crispin Porter + Bogusky, you should be ASHAMED of yourself for producing such a load of SHIT! How does this compare to Whopper Freakout? Did someone else sign off this brief when all 3 partners were away on holiday?

Changing jobs, moving to a new home, commuting to work in heavy traffic. All of these things can cause stress.
It happens to all of us from time to time. Stress is our brain's response to different situations, both positive and negative. It could be the feelings we have while watching a scary movie or riding a rollercoaster. Sometimes, we have stress caused by major life changes like marriage or divorce, serious illness or death of a loved one.
It's important to know your limits when it comes to stress to avoid more serious health effects.
How Stress Affects Your Health
Each of us responds to stress in different ways. Some physical symptoms may include:
- Digestive symptoms
- Headaches
- Sleeplessness
- Depressed mood
- Anger and irritability
Over time, continued strain on your body from routine stress may lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorder, and other illnesses.
Coping With Stress
The effects of stress tend to build up over time. Taking practical steps to maintain your health and outlook can reduce or prevent these effects. The following are some tips that may help you to cope with stress:
- Seek help from a qualified mental health care provider if you are overwhelmed, feel you cannot cope, have suicidal thoughts, or are using drugs or alcohol to cope.
- Get proper health care for existing or new health problems.
- Ask for help from friends, family, and community or religious organizations to reduce stress due to work burdens or family issues.
- Recognize signs of stress, such as difficulty sleeping, increased alcohol and other substance use, being easily angered, feeling depressed, and having low energy.
- Set priorities--decide what must get done and what can wait, and learn to say no to new tasks if they are putting you into overload.
- Avoid dwelling on problems. If you can't do this on your own, seek help from a qualified mental health professional who can guide you.
- Exercise regularly--just 30 minutes per day of gentle walking can help boost mood and reduce stress.
- Schedule regular times for healthy and relaxing activities.
- Explore stress coping programs, which may incorporate meditation, yoga, tai chi, or other gentle exercises.

July 25, 2011
From the DNR
Minnesota's state government shutdown will not affect upcoming hunting seasons or prevent a mid-season walleye regulation change at Lake Mille Lacs.
"Some application deadlines are approaching fast but that's the only significant impact to hunters," said Ed Boggess, director of the Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Fish and Wildlife Division. "On the angling side, we moved quickly to implement a more liberal walleye length limit regulation on Lake Mille Lacs."
The upcoming regulation change is based on an evaluation of the 2011 walleye harvest through June 30 that deemed a change was warranted.
Effective 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, July 27, the walleye length limit regulation on Lake Mille Lacs will change to a 20- to 28-inch protected slot.
Currently the walleye regulation is an 18- to 28-inch protected slot.
As DNR services resume operation, the following items relate to hunters and anglers:
• Fishing and hunting licenses: They are again available at any of the state's 1,500 license agents, as well as over the internet or by phone.
• Bear license purchase deadline: Hunters who successfully applied in the 2011 bear license lottery must purchase their license by Aug. 1. Licenses that are not purchased will go on sale on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Thursday, Aug. 4. Bear baiting can legally begin Friday, Aug. 12.
• Fall turkey/prairie chicken: The application deadline for fall turkey and prairie chicken licenses is Friday, July 29. Applications may be made online at www.mndnr.gov, by calling toll-free 888-665-4236, or through the electronic licensing system wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold.
• Deer hunting: Licenses will go on sale Aug. 1. The deadline for lottery either-sex permit applications and special deer hunts is Thursday, Sept. 8. The firearms deer season opens Nov. 5. The Camp Ripley archery hunt will be held as scheduled, as will special youth and state park deer hunts. One potential exception is the St. Croix State Park youth deer hunt. The feasibility of going forward with that hunt is under evaluation because of widespread damage to the park from high winds on July 1. Additional information will be announced later.
• Hunting regulations booklet: Printed copies of this year's regulation booklet won't be available until mid-August but an online version should be available Aug. 1.
• Waterfowl hunting: Hunting season decisions will be made in mid-August.
State parks reopen, and other DNR functions are back
From the DNR
Some Minnesota state parks opened for day and overnight use Friday, while other facilities did not open until the weekend, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officials said.
DNR employees returned to work Thursday, July 21, after the agency and state government was shut down July 1 due to a state budget impasse.
For state parks and trails employees, the first day of work will be focused on making sure parks and trails are safe for public use.
For some parks, a best-case scenario means they will reopen for day and some overnight use within 24 hours of staff returning to work.
For overnight use, it may take two days or longer for staff to make campgrounds and facilities suitable for customers, which includes clearing away storm debris, turning on utility systems and cleaning restrooms.
Up-to-date information on park operations and other DNR functions can be found on the agency's website at www.mndnr.gov/reopen.
A red, yellow or green symbol will indicate the closed, partially open or open status of individual parks, trails and forest recreation areas on the website.
The availability of specific facilities within parks will be noted as well.
Customers will not be able to get reservation information by telephone from the ReserveMN system until July 26, but they can call individual parks to check their specific reservations.
The biggest challenge for state parks and trails is making sure downed trees are cleared, trails and campsites are safe and water, electricity and restrooms are available.
Numerous storms across Minnesota in July left debris and otherwise damaged parks, said Courtland Nelson, director of the DNR's Parks and Trails Division.
"We ask for the public's patience as we reopen state parks after being closed for nearly three weeks," Nelson said. "We want to make sure parks are not only safe for the public, but that they can provide the high-quality experience our customers have come to expect."
Anglers and hunters are now able to purchase their licenses as well.
The DNR's Electronic Licensing System (ELS) is operational, which means boat and other licenses can also be renewed.
Licenses can be purchased through one of the DNR's ELS vendors, which include sporting goods stores and bait shops.
Licenses can also be purchased by telephone and online at www.mndnr.gov.
"We wanted to make sure that was one of our first operations to start up," said DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr.
Information on the status of other DNR functions, such as managing hunting seasons; water, mining and other permits; state timber sales; state forest campgrounds; and environmental review projects will be available on the DNR website on Thursday.
State parks that may require more time to reopen are Afton, Lake Bronson, Camden, Upper Sioux Agency, Flandreau, Blue Mounds, Wild River and St. Croix.
Those parks sustained facility and tree damage that will take longer to clean up.
St. Croix State Park will be closed indefinitely while staff assess building and other damage from a July 1 windstorm.
Current overnight reservations will be honored at individual parks as they reopen.
New reservations will not be accepted until July 26 at 8 a.m.
The DNR's reservation system has a backlog of shutdown refunds that must be made to customers before new reservations can be accepted.
Landwehr said DNR employees are eager to return Thursday and restart the agency's business. "We'll be happy to be back in business and ready to serve the public," he said.
Last chance to apply for prairie chicken, fall turkey hunts
From the DNR
Hunters who wish to apply for one of 186 permits for the 2011 Minnesota prairie chicken season or for a fall turkey hunting permit must do so by Friday, July 30, wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Application materials and maps of permit areas for both hunts are available on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/hunting/turkey.
Winners will be notified though the mail by mid-September after applying at any DNR electronic licensing agent.
The application fee is $3. The license costs $23 for residents and $78 for nonresidents.
The $5 stamp validation has been incorporated into the license fee. A separate stamp is no longer required.
This year there will be 10,450 fall turkey permits available for the season, which runs from Saturday, Oct. 1, through Sunday, Oct. 30. In 2010, hunters harvested a record 1,353 birds in the fall hunt, with hunter success typically about 20 percent.
• Prairie chicken season
The five-day prairie chicken season, which will begin on Saturday, Oct. 22, is open to Minnesota residents only.
Hunters will be charged a $4 application fee and may apply individually or in groups up to four. Prairie chicken licenses cost $20.
The hunt will be conducted in 11 prairie chicken quota areas in west-central Minnesota between Warren in the north and Breckenridge in the south.
Up to 20 percent of the permits in each area will be issued to landowners or tenants of 40 acres or more of prairie or grassland property within the permit area for which they applied.
Resident hunters younger than 12 may apply for a prairie chicken license.
The odds of being drawn are about one in three, depending on the area chosen, said Bill Penning, DNR farmland wildlife program leader.
The season bag limit is two prairie chickens per hunter. Licensed prairie chicken hunters will be allowed to take sharp-tailed grouse while legally hunting prairie chickens.
Sharptails and prairie chickens are similar looking species.
The general closure on taking sharp-tailed grouse by small game hunters in this area is to protect prairie chickens.
Licensed prairie chicken hunters who wish to take sharptails must meet all regulations and licensing requirements for taking sharp-tailed grouse.
In 2010, an estimated 87 prairie chickens were harvested, with 37 percent of hunters taking at least one bird.
Hunter success varies considerably from year-to-year, especially when poor weather prevents hunters from going out in the field.
DNR accepting applications for 2011 Camp Ripley archery hunts
From the DNR
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began accepting applications on July 21 for the 2011 regular archery deer hunts at Camp Ripley near Little Falls.
Hunters may pick from only one of two hunting seasons, Oct. 20-21 (Th.-Fri.; code 668) or Oct. 29-30 (Sat.-Sun.; code 669).
A total of 5,000 permits, 2,500 per two-day hunt, will be made available.
Successful applicants must purchase a valid archery license at least two days before their hunt to participate.
The bag limit for this year's hunt is two, and bonus permits may be used to take antlerless deer.
Hunters may choose from four options to apply for the Camp Ripley archery hunts:
• through the DNR's computerized Electronic Licensing System (ELS) at any one of 1,500 ELS agents located throughout Minnesota
• by telephone at 888-665-4236
• through DNR's Internet licensing link at www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/index.html
• at the DNR License Center, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul.
The application fee for the hunt is $8 per applicant. The application deadline is Aug. 19.
Those who apply by phone or Internet will be charged an additional convenience fee of 3 percent ($0.24) per transaction.
To apply, resident hunters 21 and older must provide a valid state driver's license or public safety identification number.
Residents under 21 may also provide a DNR firearms safety training number to apply.
Nonresident hunters must apply using a valid driver's license number, public safety identification number, or MDNR customer number from a recent Minnesota hunting or fishing license.
All applicants must be at least 10 years old prior to the hunt they apply for.
In addition, anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1980, must have a firearms safety certificate or other evidence of successfully completing a hunter safety course to obtain a license to hunt or trap in Minnesota.
Hunters may apply as individuals or as a group, up to four individuals.
Group members may only apply for the same two-day season.
The first group applicant must specify "Create New Group" when asked, and will receive a group number.
Subsequent group applicants must specify they want to "Join an Existing Group" and must use the same group number supplied to the first group applicant.
The archery hunt at Camp Ripley is an annual event.
The DNR coordinates the hunt with the Department of Military Affairs, which manages the 53,000-acre military reservation.
