We formed groups of three using the cards we'd received: each group had an 'M', a 'T' and a 'V'. Each person described a celebration three different ways. First, what we would hear: I described the cracking of a log fire, the clink of glasses and the rustle of paper. Second, how people would move: ripping paper, drinking wine, eating. Finally, what we would see: crackers, stockings and a pine tree. In the midst of life, I woke to find myself being trained in learning styles. Once I was certain what was going on (this was in Danish) and had stifled my astonishment, I tried to observe dispassionately.
Having retold our celebration visually, auditorily and kinaesthetically, we were asked which kinds of learning we had used. The presenter pointed to a different 'part of the brain' for each, the 'Motor cortex', 'Temporallapperne' and 'Visual cortex'; we repeated each term while imitating her pointing, following the principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
We all have preferences, we were told – 30% of people prefer auditory learning, for example – but what works depends on the lesson's content. "Students will have to write in the exam", a trainee noted; but the presenter explained that students may remember something kinaesthetically but express it verbally. We were assured that, though Hattie had found learning styles have no effect, paying attention to diversity is powerful. Discussion over, we formed small groups and conceived activities employing different learning styles: in my group trainees engaged enthusiastically, but struggled to adapt their subjects to 'auditory' learning; the presenter suggested that 'a moment of silence before a key point' would be one way.
The enduring appeal of learning styles
It's easy to mock; perhaps it's more useful to analyse the enduring appeal of learning styles. Jack Schneider set out four criteria for research to reach classrooms: perceived significance, philosophical compatibility, occupational realism, and transportability (discussed by Gary Jones here). Learning styles have all four:
Perceived significance
Learning styles discuss the brain: few people can gainsay 'neuroscience' and this approach holds a 'seductive allure'. They also offer a compellingly plausible explanation for the educational failure of some young people.
Philosophical compatibility
Trainees are often desperate to effect change in their schools; they are sometimes encouraged to believe they can do so from the outset. Learning styles fit this well, placing trainees in the vanguard of transformational practice. Trainees were encouraged to contrast themselves with teachers who have bored them; this memory of boredom is explained by too much talking and not enough kinaesthetic learning. Learning styles offer the trainee, keen to be inspirational, a radical, novel, fun way to do so.
Learning styles also emphasise individuality: "people are concerned that they, and their children, be seen and treated by educators as unique individuals" (even though there is more helpful research about the similarities of learners than their differences (Pashler et al., 2008)).
Occupational realism
On the one hand, crafting a kinaesthetic activity when students need to write an essay is a challenge; but it's not a hard one (moving students holding sentences around maybe?). It's certainly easier than paying close attention to the misconceptions students' may have about the essay's topic. I suspect learning styles are in a sweet spot: sufficiently clever-seeming and plausible to offer some challenge (and appear worthwhile), sufficiently simple (and malleable) to apply to anything.
I'm sure the hour's session was sufficient for trainees to understand and recall the three learning styles.
What is to be done?
One can point to the evidence that:
Students do not have different "learning styles."
Deans for Impact (2015)
And pursue references to reviews which demonstrate conclusively that:
There is no adequate evidence base to justify incorporating learning styles assessments into general educational practice. Thus, limited education resources would better be devoted to adopting other educational practices that have a strong evidence base, of which there are an increasing number."
Pashler et al. (2008)
Yet learning styles still thrive. So what might we do?
The Carter Review emphasised the importance of teaching trainees:
How to become intelligent consumers of research; this means teaching them where and how to access research findings, how to interpret and challenge research and how it can be applied in practice."
This sounds great, but I'm not sure it's sufficient. My experience of professional development suggests that most teachers' interest lies in how strategies may improve their classroom, not the evidence behind them, perfectly fairly. Moreover, this places the burden of spotting poorly-evidenced practices on those least able to do so: by definition, if they knew enough to judge, trainees wouldn't be in the session.
Criticising unevidenced practice seems insufficient (particularly if learning styles are common in schools, as in Denmark). Asking people to stop thinking about learning styles is not enough; we need to offer simple, evidence-based heuristics for trainees – or they will compose their own, implicitly or explicitly. Sharing clear, evidenced-based structures like Rosenshine's (2010) 'Principles of Instruction' and Deans for Impact's (2015) 'Science of Learning' is one approach. Turning this research into practical guidance, whether in the form of checklists or collections like Tom Sherrington's is another. Whatever we choose, we must avoid the mystification of teaching as 'too complicated' to be susceptible to clear guidelines: the confusion this creates for trainees is ripe soil for zombie theories like learning styles.
If we accept that trainees are not best-placed to assess the evidence informing their training, we must make it easier for others to do so. For this, a prerequisite is having teacher training organisations and professional development providers publish their 'learning bets' and course reading lists. This permits neat (if depressing) studies like Pomerance et al.'s (2016) paper which analysed the content and techniques to which trainees in the US are exposed (and found them wanting). Sharing curricula and reading lists would be useful in its own right, it would also leave trainers open to critique, critique organisations should welcome if they wish to improve.
I now understand better the enduring appeal of learning styles. Breaking up lessons and varying activities is no bad thing, but learning styles lead teachers down blind alleys in which they misdiagnose barriers to learning and waste lesson planning time on ineffective approaches. Waiting for good ideas to out-compete poor ones seems insufficient: we need to help them on their way.
This post was edited on 2nd September, 2016; at the request of the training provider, the original image, which came from the provider's workbook, was removed. The caption read:
"Teacher: It just doesn't feel natural for me to involve their bodies in learning. Researcher: Now it's not about you but about your students' learning, so what strategies would be good for you to use when you want to activate their motorcortex?"

Sometimes it's a real challenge to stay focused – and sometimes staying focused isn't important.
The usual suspects: my lovely kids are the best, and most frequent, distractions.
My grandmother is sick. And she's on the other side of the world.
And I'm waiting for my residence visa… meanwhile I can't travel. Not that I need to. Things are not that serious. But it would be nice to have the option.
I'm struggling to focus on editing my novel. Maybe, right now, it's not that important.
I have a saying that helps me to keep perspective. I don't know if someone else said it, or something similar, or if I made it up. It goes something like this –
Every day counts, but every day is just one day.
I work consistently – pretty much every week day – and I'm productive, finishing a couple of new first drafts a year and several later drafts and rewrites. So, if I skip a day, heck, if I skip a week, it's not a big deal.
But then, there are always excuses if you look for them. I try to work every week day. If it happens, fabulous, if not, it's just one day. Other things are more important – my kids, my husband, my friends, my health, and of course my family.
A serious event throws priorities into stark relief. Everything else will slide, if that's what is necessary, when a loved-one is seriously ill. Things that are usually a priority suddenly seem unimportant.
But there's nothing I can actually do for my Grandma, and other than a phone call there's not much I can do for anyone else.
I am powerless in this, and that makes me feel powerless in other things. Usually, even when there are distractions and interruptions, I find a way to steal a little time, to focus and work, to make progress, even if it's slow. But sometimes it's like I have a bad lens prescription and no matter how much I will myself to focus, I just can't shake the blur.
I got through the fog today and edited a good twenty plus pages. I had a decent chunk of time without interruption, and no new news about Grandma. I had plenty of coffee, an achievable goal and a time limit.
Perhaps I would have been struggling to focus on editing this week anyway – my focus is starting to wander to my next project. This is the second book in a row that I've edited and I'm ready to write something new. It's not that I don't like the editing/rewriting part of the process but I don't want to be doing it too much of the time.
Some of the things that helped today are conditions I can repeat:
– coffee is available, and excellent.
– I can set achievable goals.
– I can give myself time limits, eg. I will edit until the end of next week and then that's it, time to start planning the new book.
Time without interruption is not something I have full control over, but it does happen. It's just not always predictable. Sometimes both the kids sleep at once. Sometimes the baby sleeps while the toddler is at nursery. Sometimes Luuk has work to do in the evening and I have a chunk of time to myself. I have to be prepared to work when it does happen, even if it means leaving the washing in the machine for half a day…
But right now, if there's news about Grandma then that gets priority. And if the fog sets in I should probably just deal with the laundry and hope for clarity and focus later on.
Today – any day – is just one day.

The Charleston Brews Cruise was one for the books. The owner, and our tour guide Brent Horner showed us 3 breweries in our beautiful city of Ch
arleston, South Carolina. We had the pleasure of going to Westbrook, Coast, and Holy City Brewery.
Westbrook Brewery is located in Mount Plesant and is a beautiful place. There we tried 4 different beers. The White Thai was my favorite of the four because of the light lemon grass flavor. We even had the pleasure of trying a barrel aged beer called Mexican Cake. The Mexican Cake came out last month and has already sold out for the entire year so we were very excited about being able to taste it. Westbrook is a gorgeous brewery and should definitely be checked out.
Coast is located in North Charleston and has more of a neighborhood feel to it. They had picnic tables and a food truck so people could have a slice of pizza with their beer. The Kolsh beer is their most popular, and the reason is obvious because it was my favorite as well. We learned a little about the history of beer when we met the co owner Jamie. She has been responsible for the change of a lot of beer laws in SC. It was really an inspiration to meet her. Coast has great vibes, cool people, and delicious beer.
Last, but certainly not least, we went to Holy City Brewery. Holy City is probably the most popular brewery here, tucked away in North Charleston. They have a huge assortment of beers on draft, and also have the picnic tables for everyone to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. Their dark beer selection seems to be the favorite amongst the customers. I thought that all three beers we tried were delicious. Holy City is the largest retail beer company in Charleston.
The Charleston Brews Cruise was educational, fun, and definitely #cocktailbanditapproved! We were all friends when we got off the tour bus. Brent is very knowledgeable about craft beer and makes the tour interesting and interactive. If you're ever in Charleston and love beer, you should check it out. You won't regret it and you will leave feeling great!

Playing about in empty compounds and manoeuvring around plastic bollards is all very well, but there is a test to prepare for.
What with road test routes to learn, the alarming discovery that reversing feels different close to buildings, and the added complication of a foolhardy injury, the build-up to test day doesn't go smoothly.

I really liked the first part of this episode up to the point that the first technician died and Data had to avoid being killed himself. The Terra-forming team seemed likable and could have been expanded upon. But after Data and Geordi discovered the lifeform, the crew that terrorized it was put mostly into the background, except a scene where Riker consoles one of them which was well done.
The life form's speech was simple but effective, however the rest of the episode past the point of its discovery flatlined and failed to deliver on several opportunities for character development. The fact that inorganic life was unknown was rather strange as Kirk's Enterprise had already encountered several beings like that. Even Q while he takes the form of living beings can be considered inorganic because his race is nothing but energy. All of these established facts and ideals were thrown out the window, and Picard needs to right another wrong accidentally caused by humans.
I give it a mediocre on a decent delivery, but a nosedive at the halfway point that was salvageable.

Ever since the new update, my phone has made made this weird beeping sound. It seems to be triggered by the g-sensor but I am not sure. My phone has had quite a few bugs that I have noticed actually. I took it back to the sprint store and they said they "made it like it is new again". But anyway, has anyone else had this beep noise since they got their note 2?

While in Troas during his second preaching tour, the apostle Paul had a vision in the night. In the vision, "A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us'" (Acts 16:9). The text reveals that Paul was obedient to the vision, Luke recording him as having concluded "that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them" (10).
The journey took Paul and his companions to Philippi, where they were beaten with rods, and placed into prison (cf. 16:22-24). After traveling through Amphipolis and Apollonia they went to Thessalonica, where again they fell afoul of the enemies of the cross (17:5). This necessitated a departure under cover of darkness to Berea. Some from Thessalonica followed them, and stirred up the crowds against Paul yet again (17:13). Finally Paul traveled to Athens, where his message was met with mocking (17:32).
Opposition was found at every turn, but Paul was resolute in his commitment to help the Macedonians through the preaching of the gospel of his Lord. And everywhere he preached — Philippi (16:15,34), Thessalonica (17:4), Berea (17:11-12), and Athens (17:34) — men and women responded in faith to the salvation of their souls.
That same request, "Come over … and help us" resonates in our time. There are so many mission fields in our time, both in other countries and here in our own. As Jesus told his disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest" (Matthew 9:37-38). Just as Paul was obedient to the heavenly vision, we too must be willing to proclaim the gospel to the lost of our community. If we will not, souls will be lost in the vacuum of our failure.
As Paul and Apollos, preachers of the gospel are needed to equip the saints, and care for the lost of the world. "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building" (1 Corinthians 3:6-9).
Each individual Christian has his or her own responsibility in this. In the infancy of the church, the disciples had an evangelistic fervor, despite persecution. When they left Jerusalem to avoid the severe duress levied by the Jews, Luke records, "Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word" (Acts 8:4). Do we have the same spirit to preach, or do we offer the excuses of the worldly minded? "But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.' And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.' Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come'" (Luke 14:18-20).
Of course, evangelism is not the only way you can be helpful to God and His people. There are other things that must not be left undone. There is, for example, the call to assemble with the people of God. "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24-25). The purpose of such assembly is first to worship Him, (as He deserves, cf. Revelation 5:8-14). But it also is to encourage and edify the brethren. Our responsibilities do not lie solely with the lost, but also with those of like precious faith.
Another way to help the Lord's cause is through our free will offerings. "So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7). The Lord commands us to lay by in store (cf. 1 Corinthians 16:1-2), but the spiritually minded are eager to support with great liberality the works of benevolence, edification and evangelism.
The call to help can also be partially answered in the work of teaching. Building up the brethren for the work of ministry is helpful and needed. "And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2). The sword of the Spirit needs to be wielded with skill and conviction. The teacher aids the student to become skillful in the promulgation and defense of truth.
Finally, we must have a mind to work diligently in whatever duty is laid upon us. Paul commended Timothy in this, and he is certainly one to emulate: "But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. For I have no one like- minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me" (Philippians 2:19-23).
The harvest truly is plenteous, and God is in need of workers. Only a few are capable and willing to work in His vineyard. What about you? Are you zealous for the Lord? What are you doing to accomplish His will on earth?

Tigers Daily-ish: Jose Iglesias Brings The Motown Funk
Is there any doubt that if players had a soundtrack associated to their season much like a movie, the Marc Ronson/Bruno Mars smash "Uptown Funk" would be somewhere on the Jose Iglesias album? There isn't a player on the club that better exhibits the upbeat craziness on the field that the hit tune evokes on the radio airwaves every day during its long run at number one. Can't just about anyone envision Iglesias singing the lyric "gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty" after turning in one of his unbelievable dazzlers at shortstop?
Iglesias has been a sparkplug for the Detroit Tigers on his return to the lineup in 2015 after missing the previous season with a rare double-shin stress fracture issue. It was a long season without him for a once again moribund Tigers defense. There was extreme disappointment among Tigers fans who were waiting to watch his defensive brilliance. They had seen their appetites whetted during "Iggy's" two months in Detroit at the end of 2013 and wanted more.
Tiger fans had seen lumbering clods roaming Comerica Park for years like Delmon Young, Marcus Thames, and many others. The Iggy Phenomenon in the field was new stuff. It was like salsa music taking over from elevator music.
Strike up the band. He's back.
"Straight masterpieces
Stylin', while in Livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty"
Iglesias has lit up the highlight reels all season since his return. He's been playing with the panache not seen by a Tigers defender since…since…well, nobody. Acrobatic plays are expected and they happen from deep in the hole or ranging up the middle. He roams into left-field almost as an extra outfielder on shallow duck snorts looking to make over the shoulder crowd pleasing catches.
Has there been the occasional play where a more conventional plant and throw may have resulted in a good play instead of an Iglesias flip from a crazy angle? Sure. As Tigers radio co-host Jim Price might say, "Iggy likes to get a little extra mustard on his hot dog from time to time".
But it's something the Tigers will live with all day, every day. The good outweighs the bad here multiple times over. Iglesias plays the field with a joy that's palpable to anyone watching. The supreme confidence is obviously there. No play is impossible in his mind. It just seems to really enjoy being "Jose Iglesias-Artist in Residence".
The Tigers have suddenly become a club capable of turning rock-star level double plays of great difficulty bailing out pitchers with plays rarely seen in previous season. Iglesias has been the been the driving force here teaming with middle infield mate Ian Kinsler.
The defensive improvement up the middle provided by Iglesias has been a key factor for the Tigers given their rotation is no longer the massive strikeout monster it was in previous seasons. As a group they've fallen to 27th in strikeout percentage. There are a lot more balls in play than at any point in the Tigers run of AL Central dominance. It was important to upgrade the defensive unit. Iglesias is carrying that load in the infield along with speedy Anthony Gose in the Tigers outfield.
"I'm too hot (hot damn)
Called a police and a fireman I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire, man I'm too hot (hot damn)
Girl, say my name you know who I am
I'm too hot (hot damn)"
The bonus for the Tigers is that Iglesias has broken out a consistent offensive game upon his return as well. He's cruising along with a slash-line of .341/.392/.413 after Monday night's victory over the Reds.
Iglesias has shown great hand-eye coordination to be able to whip pitches even out of the zone for sharp liners to all points in the park, especially into the opposite field. It's been an impressive display for the first two and half months. He's cut his K% nearly in half from his rookie year and had a small uptick in his walk-rate as well. He's putting plenty of balls in play and a BABIP of .367 is carrying him nicely. It's not a crazy BABIP for him to carry either as his .356 mark in 2013 would attest.
The power, as expected, isn't there. Iglesias has a paltry ISO of .074 with only nine extra-base hits to this point. Iglesias is a small fellow that's not going to drive gaps or clear fences very often. He's a high-contact spray hitter looking to slap and dash in age old pesky fashion.
The question is what to do with his hot bat? Should he continue to inhabit the 8th or 9th spot in the Tigers order? One could make the argument that his .341 batting average is a touch empty. With no power to speak of he's only driven in 9 runs and he's only scored 13 to this point.
There are plenty of observers who wonder openly if Iglesias should move into the top two spots in the Tigers order to get his .392 OBP in front of Miguel Cabrera, Yoenis Cespedes, J.D. Martinez and eventually Victor Martinez. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus moved Iglesias to the 2-hole for a couple of days at one point, but abandoned the idea quickly before giving it a real chance. Given the Tigers offense is stirring of late, it seems Iglesias might remain parked where he is, for better or for ill.
"Before we leave
Let me tell y'all a lil' something
Uptown Funk you up, Uptown Funk you up
Don't Believe Me, Just watch"
The Tigers have shown plenty of warts during the down times in 2015. They've had some really quiet offensive stretches, ugly starts from their rotation with one pitcher demoted, several blow out losses, and they suffered some significant injuries.
However they seem to be staying afloat in their division and are perhaps starting to come out of the malaise that troubled them for weeks. They've broken out of the offensive doldrums and Justin Verlander has returned to join a rotation that's 6-1 as a unit over their last 8 starts.
When it comes to Jose Iglesias however, none of that has mattered. He's been a steady source of joy to watch. Defensive web gems and an offensive beacon from deep at the bottom of the batting order. He's contributed mightily during the Tigers good streaks and been a ray of light as a reason to watch during the struggles.
Can he keep it going moving forward? It would seems that as long as he's healthy, the glove work will be there all year. That should be his bedrock skill to prop up Detroit pitching with his defensive acumen.
It's on offense where everyone will be keeping tabs. Iglesias had a rousing start to this rookie campaign in Boston in 2013 but wore down markedly after his arrival in Detroit after a deadline deal. Was he tired? Were the BABIP Gods sneering at him suddenly? Did opposing pitchers catch up to him? All three? Hard to say.
That doesn't mean it will happen again in '15 but it's safe to say it's difficult to hit .341 over the course of a season. How far will Iglesias decline at the plate, if at all? Can he maintain his low strikeout rate and rising walk rate to keep his OBP over .350 all year? If he does, he'll have had a whopper of a return season to the Tigers.
One thing we can take to the bank…nothing he does will be boring. He brings energy and swagger to a club that needed a dose of it. His Motown Funk will be providing the beat for the Tigers all year in the field if nothing else and, just maybe, at the plate to an unexpected level.

Apparently Ive got a thing for nice Michael Kors watches, of which I now own 5, in varying colours. I own a Lexington, a JetMaster and two Bradshaws. I saw the gold Bradshaw with the black face in the Michael Kors NYC store in March 2016 and fell in love with the striking colour contrast. Then I saw this same colour scheme in the newer Brecken model and immediately fell in love with it. Having now received the watch, its a bit chunkier than the other similar models, with a larger, more pronounced face and larger links, which can be difficult to remove the pins out of, to adjust the strap size. Ill need to take it to a shop to do this, compared to the other models which were easy enough to do at home. Id say the Brecken is the flashier watch between it and the Bradshaw. My only issue is that I also want two more Breckens in gun metal and silver/gold/blue combinations, neither of which WatchShop currently stock. Id definitely recommend this watch as a lovely gift or self-treat.

Soon, it will be over and buried with our past
Take a line from a song that you love or connect with. Now forget the song, and turn that line into the title or inspiration for your post.
Okay, I absolutely love the band "Of Monsters and Men", and I really have no idea what WordPress just said. Well, I know what it said, but I don't really get it.
Sort of.
Okay, there's a line in the song "Little Talks" where it says, "Don't listen to a word I say…" and that just reminds me of a kid in my grade…Let's call him Bob.
So when I got my hair dyed, after a while, it faded and turned sort of grey. Bob comes walking down the hall, and he must not have liked the color of my hair, because he scrunched up his face and said, "Ew."
"I'm fine, how are you? Thanks for asking!", I said cheerfully, waving and completely ignoring his comment. After all, nobody listens to a word he says, so it kind of relates to the song.
Here's the link:

Payday: Trial lawyers could get major tax cut despite major federal deficit
By Chris Moody - The Daily Caller 12:49 AM 07/15/2010
After years of filling Democratic coffers with massive campaign donations, trial lawyers are cashing in their chips with a sweetheart deal from the government that will save the industry billions of dollars over the next few years.
According to a Legal Newsline report from the annual meeting of the American Association for Justice, the nations lobbying arm for trial lawyers, the industry may get a tax break from the U.S. Treasury Department that would give trial lawyers the ability to write off expenses involved in contingency fee cases much in the same way businesses write off expenses. But unlike businesses, lawyers will benefit from the tax write-off in addition to the fee they charge clients.
Theyre trying to get the best of both worlds, said Christopher Appel, an attorney in the public policy group at the Washington-based law firm Shook, Hardy, and Bacon. Its not really a business expense. Its a loan made to the other person the attorney fully expects to get back.
Congress shot down a similar provision in 2009 that would have given trial lawyers a tax break on contingency fee lawsuits. An analysis of the bill at the time concluded that such a measure would ensure the government pays up to 40 percent of the costs involved in filing lawsuits. Now, it appears the group will get the tax break without having to go through the legislative process.
In other words, the federal government will pick up a big chunk of the tab for trial lawyers, said Brad Dayspring, press secretary for Republican Whip Eric Cantor.

"the industry may get a tax break from the U.S. Treasury Department"
Industry? Doesn't that imply work of some kind? Creation? Manufacturing? The only thing these aholes manufacture is lies...
The Chicago Political Payola Machine goes national. Thrill.
Thanks a bunch democRATS.
Getting tired of this blatant "Overton Window" push. The premise that tax cuts are some how bad is becoming more and more prevalent. If the government wasn't such a dead, bloated, money-sucking bureaucracy, there wouldn't be the need to pick productive folks' pockets.
Sliding tax scale is obscene. The folks who pay no taxes are likely the recipient of what everyone else pays.
First the Unions, then the trial lawyers.
At least NBC, CBS and ABC will be all over this tonight on the nightly news...
But Petro...this is a subsidy not a "tax cut"...the fees that the lawyer pays on behalf of the client get paid back at settlement...meaning there is no "expense"...it is a way to help fund lawsuits by "tax break"...
Agreed! But, hoi-polloi doesn't get that. All they see is uncle sugar not getting his due in order to turn it around to them. Kinda like robin hood getting soft on nobles and not having enough gold to give to the poor.
The objective of any large bureaucracy is to sustain itself. In the case of a large government, this sustainment is based on the largess provided to the populace...bread and circus.
The tanning salon owners are not on the list, I see. That must be why they are being taxed to pay for health care.

Wondering if these pumps can actually be used to adding TP.

If it's the original one that came mounted on the frame (hand pump) - yes, they do work. I wore mine out pumping up VW tires. It should really be used on just motorcycle and bicycle tires. I've fixed a few flats on the road with the original spoons and hand pump quite a few times.

past: 14 R1200RT 11 R1200RT 10 R1200RT 03 R1200CLC
2 different questions.
1) yes, they work.
2) "having one" really depends upon your expectations and desires. if i had one, i might use it. if i did not, i would either purchase a small electric pump, or use CO2 cartridges, or buy a good bicycle tire pump (mntn bike spec rather than road spec). my choice of preferred weapon would probably be same as order listed.
3) only thing that would make me want a stock hand pump would be if i was going for a concourse level restoration. and since the original steel one is NLA, even less reason to go for a new OEM, as they are plastic construction.
Ride Safe, Ride Lots
If you hold yout thumb ovrt the end, pump it, and you feel pressure, then yes, it will work.
With that in mind, consider the fact that it takes about 3000 strokes to get enough air in the tube so you can get to the nearest compressor. Don't ask me how I know.
So my opinion is that they're just there for looks, and I carry a small electric pump.
I have 3 pumps with me when I tour. The original pump clipped to the frame (just for show, I suppose). I also have a good bicycle pump in the saddlebag. I usually use this to top off my tires each day. I have a DC-powered pump that runs off the battery once I plug in the cigarette light female receptacle. I went to Wally World and bought one of the cheap $15 battery powered pumps and ripped away all the plastic and retained the essentials. I mounted that to a small piece of plywood just to hold it together. I carry the electric pump, the cables, and cigarette adapter in a small plastic pouch in my saddlebag.

As always, thanks guys.
I know Hucky's sells them and good to know that what he's selling may be plastic - I guess I'll ask when I place my parts order. It's not that I "need" one to use but would "like" to have on the bike as I've been cleaning, servicing, and putting her back together as I enjoy doing!

The New York Yankees signed Leonardo Molina out of San Francisco De Macrois, Dominican Republic as a 16-year old back on August 1, 2013, for $1.4 million. At the time, Molina was regarded as one the best international prospects in his class.
The highly touted outfield prospect made his professional debut in the Gulf Coast League and slashed to underwhelming .193/.267/.260 with one home run in 53 games. While he didn't quite live up to the hype in the batter's box, there's something to be said about debuting in the Gulf Coast League at the young age of 16. Despite his offensive struggles, Molina's athleticism and raw tools remained unparalleled across the playing field.
The following season Molina returned to the Gulf Coast League with a vengeance, hitting .247 with nine doubles, three triples and two home runs with 17 RBIs in 48 games. It's also worth noting that the young outfielder cut down on his strikeouts to 37 from 51 in his rookie season and increased his OPS from .525 in 2014 to .654 in 2015.
Molina started the 2016 season in Class A with the Charleston RiverDogs, where he slashed .198/.250/.302 with a .552 OPS in 36 games before being demoted to Rookie Ball when he was assigned to the Pulaski Yankees on June 23, 2016.
Down in the Appalachian League, Molina played in 49 games and improved his slash line to .246/.318/.440 and his OPS to a career-best .758. Molina was also named the Appalachian League Player of the Week on August 21, 2016, after compiling an impressive slash line of .444/.474/1.000 over the course of five games, going 8-for-18 with two triples and two home runs with five RBIs.
Scouting Report
Still just 19-years old, the 6'2″ Molina is an outstanding athlete with a frame that will allow him to continue to add strength and he continues to grow physically. His best tool is his plus-plus speed, which attributes to his plus range in center field. However, he hasn't used his speed much on the base path throughout his first three years in the pipeline. Molina's arm strength has also improved as he's started to grow into his frame, and it now grades as a slightly above-average tool that plays up a bit due to his accuracy from the outfield. At the plate, Molina remains a bit of a question mark. The right-handed hitter features average bat speed that has yet to yield consistent contact.
2017 Outlook
It's not secret that Leonardo Molina need's to continue to work on his approach at the plate. Look for Molina to open the 2017 season back in Charleston where he began the 2016 season, but this time, hopefully, Molina is promoted to Class-A Advanced Tampa rather than getting sent back to Rookie Ball.
Perhaps 2017 will be the breakout season for Molina that we've all been waiting for.

How to Install Brake Pads on Vehiclesby Contributing Writer; Updated June 12, 2017
Your Vehicles is exposed to ever-changing riding conditions while operating in an off-road environment, requiring constant use of the brakes to maintain control Vehicles all times. The very nature of this type of riding can drastically reduce the life of the front brake pads, wearing away the pad material until nothing is left. If left to wear away completely, the pads' metal backing plates can wreak havoc on your Vehicles brake rotors, rendering your brake system useless. Some work is involved to replace the brake pads, but the task is straightforward enough to complete on your own.

How to Install Brake Pads on a Pacifica
Open the engine compartment and check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If the level is at the minimum mark or below, you do not have to remove fluid. If it is higher than the minimum mark, remove enough of it with the turkey baster to bring it to the proper level. Place the fluid in the drain pan for recycling.
Place the wheel checks behind the rear tires. Raise the Chrysler with the jack. Place a jack stand under the car, near the jacking point, and raise it to the frame. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel with the lug wrench and take it off the car. Place the C-clamp on the brake caliper, front to back. Tighten the C-clamp until the caliper piston seats itself within the housing.
Remove the guide pin bolts from the caliper with a socket and ratchet. Pull the caliper from the rotor and remove the old brake pads. Insert the new pads and place the caliper on the mounting bracket. Tighten the guide pin bolts with the socket and ratchet. Put the wheel on the Pacifica and tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench. Remove the jack stand from under the vehicle. Lower the car to the ground. Repeat the process on the other wheel.
Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder when you finish the brake job. Add to it as necessary to bring it to the proper level. Pump the brake pedal a few times until it feels firm.

How to Install Brake Pads on a Mazda B4000
Loosen, but do not remove the B4000's front lug nuts.
Raise the front of the vehicle with the floor jack and support it with jack stands.
Remove the front lug nuts and pull the wheel off of the vehicle.
Position the c-clamp over the brake caliper, so that the stationary side is contacting the rear of the caliper and the screw portion is in contact with the outer brake pad.
Tighten the c-clamp until it will not move any farther. This compresses the caliper's internal piston, creating the room needed for the new brake pads.
Loosen and remove the c-clamp from the brake caliper.
Look at the rear of the brake caliper and locate the upper and lower caliper bolts.
Loosen and remove the caliper bolts, using the ratchet and socket.
Pull the caliper away from the brake assembly, exposing the brake pads, and hang it from the suspension, using the bungee strap. Never allow the caliper to hang by the rubber brake hose.
Grasp the brake pads and pull them from the brake assembly. Take note of how they come off, as the new ones must be installed in the same fashion.
Place the new brake pads on the brake assembly, just as the old one were removed.
Release the caliper from the bungee strap and place it over the new brake pads. Hand-tighten the caliper bolts.
Tighten the caliper bolts to 21 to 26 foot-pounds, using the torque wrench and a socket.
Repeat steps 4 through 14 for the brake pads on the other side of the B4000.
Place the wheels back on the vehicle and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
Remove the jack stands from under the vehicle and slowly lower it to the ground.
Tighten the lug nuts to 100 foot-pounds of toque, using the torque wrench and a socket.
Press and release the brake pedal repeatedly until it feels firm.

How to Install the Brake Pads on a 2002 Mercury Cougar
Loosen the front lug nuts and raise the vehicle. Remove the lug nuts and wheel. The lift point is immediately behind the front wheel, flush with the inside edge of the tire. Check your Cougar owner's manual for a diagram. Support the car with jack stands.
Remove the two bolts on the rear of the brake caliper. This frees the caliper from the brake pad mounting bracket. Lift the bracket away from the rotor with a rotating motion.
Slide the brake pads out of the bracket.
Press the caliper piston into its bore with a C-clamp. Protect the piston head with a piece of scrap wood.
Install the replacement pads into the bracket. Start with the end opposite the clip. Move the bracket and pads into place and install the two bolts, torquing to 21 ft-lbs. Install the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and fully tighten the lug nuts. Repeat on the other side.

How to Install Brake Pads on a Toyota Tacoma
How to Install Brake Pads in a Toyota Tacoma
Park the truck on a level surface and place in gear or park. Turn the ignition key on one click to unlock the steering wheel. Apply the parking brake.
Place the wheel chocks in front and rear of one of the rear tires.
Crack loose the lug nuts on both front tires using the 1/2-inch drive breaking bar and a deep 1/2-inch drive 21 millimeter socket. Do not remove. Just crack them loose.
Lift one side of the truck with the floor jack and place a jack stand beneath the lower control arm and repeat the procedure for the other side. This will elevate the front axle with the steering wheel unlocked so you can manipulate the position of the wheel for proper angles and working space when needed.
Remove lug nuts and take the tires off.
Turn the wheel so the caliper is extended past the wheel well.
Remove the locking pin/wire on the outside of the caliper. This pin simply pops out, but you may need to use a set of channel locks or pliers to convince it. Try not to damage it if the replacement pads did not come with new hardware.
Using a small to medium punch and hammer, tap on flat side of the pad upper holding pin. This may be the most challenging aspect of this job, next to squeezing in the four pistons of the caliper. This task may take a while and if your replacement pads did not come with a new set of pins, it is important not to damage these or mushroom the edge of the pin in the tapping process. The easiest way to work this is to tap and get it to move just a little bit and then tap it back into place and tap it out a little more and tap it back into place. Each time it moves it will clean off a little bit of rust and corrosion. If these pins do not move you could try to grab onto them from the outside of the caliper with channel locks and turn them. If they come out, continue the same procedure for the bottom holding pin. It is recommended that if you're reusing these pins to clean them off thoroughly with a wire brush wheel on a bench grinder.
Remove caliber bolts with 3/8-inch drive ratchet and 14-millimeter 3/8-inch drive socket. Using a medium angle pry bar, pry off the top and then the bottom of the caliper. Do not let it hang from the brake hose. The pads will fall out, or may need to be tapped out gently and rest the caliper on top of the upper control arm.
Squeeze the pistons of the caliper in using an old pad as a surface to rest the drive of the C-clamp with. This is going to be the next most challenging task of this job. The Tacomas have four pistons, two on each side, and when you squeeze in one side, the other side wants to bulge out. Squeeze one side all the way in and then the other. You may have to go back again to the other side again, but sooner or later, diligence will pay off. Another common side effect of Tacomas is a frozen piston on the caliper. If you find you cannot convince the pistons to squeeze in under duress, this may be indicative of why the pads wore down, and you may need to replace the caliper. If they press in fine, continue on.
Apply a liberal coat of anti-seize or brake lubricant to the holding pins. Place the pads into the caliper and lock them in with the holding pins. You will have to thread them into the caliper with the pins in the same position in which they they came out: the inboard pad first with the backing plate facing the inside of the wheel well, thread the upper pin, then place the outboard pad facing inwards and thread the holding pin through that. The upper holding pin will hold the pads in place and you can thread the bottom holding pin in a little more easily. Spread the pads apart by hand so you can fit the caliper now loaded with pads over the rotor. Do not force. If it does not fit, the pistons of the caliper are not in far enough and you'll have to go back to the C-clamp procedure until you're successful.
Reinsert and tighten caliper bolts with the 3/8-inch drive ratchet and 14-millimeter socket.
Reinsert locking pin/wire into the holes of the holding pins. You made need the pliers or channel locks to manipulate the pins in order to align the small holes for the clip wire.
Place wheel on and tighten lug nuts as tight as you can get them with wheel elevated.
Repeat brake pad replacement steps for the other side.
Raise vehicle enough to extract the jack stands and then torque the lug nuts to 80 foot pounds using the adjustable torque wrench and the 1/2-inch drive 21-millimeter socket in an alternating fashion.
Pump the brake pedal inside the truck to purge the hydraulic pistons of the calipers back out. Pump until the pedal feels normal. Release the parking brake.
Pop the hood open and check the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder. You may need to adjust it.
Remove the wheel chocks and test drive.
Items you will need
Floor jack Two jack stands Two wheel chocks 1/2-inch drive breaking bar 21-millimeter 1/2-inch drive deep socket Channel locks or pliers Small to medium punch Ball peen hammer Bench grinder with wire brush wheel (optional) Medium angle pry bar Brake pad lubricant or high temperature anti-seize 3/8-inch drive ratchet 3/8-inch drive 14-millimeter socket Large C-clamp Adjustable 1/2-inch drive torque wrench
How to Install Brake Pads on a Dodge Caravan
Park the Caravan on a flat, level paved or concrete surface. Release the hood latch and apply the parking brake.
Open the hood and suck out half of the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir using the turkey baster. Discard the fluid appropriately. Do not reuse it. Replace the cap on the master cylinder.
Break the lug nuts loose on the left wheel first using the breaking bar and a socket. Do not remove the lug nuts or loosen them too much.
Lift the Caravan using the floor jack and place the lift point under the transmission bushing. Place a jack stand under the inside of the rocker panel in the left front where the frame is boxed. Do not place the jack stand on the rocker panel as it will most likely collapse. You can leave the floor jack in place as an added safety support, but make sure to use a jack stand.
Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
Remove the caliper bolts with the ratchet and a socket. Gently pry the caliper off of the rotor using the screwdriver. The pads are clipped to the caliper.
Remove the outboard pad first by prying it off the caliper housing with the screwdriver. Remove the inboard pad by pulling it out of the caliper piston bore. Support the caliper to the coil spring using the bungee cord.
Compress the piston in using the C-clamp. Squeeze slowly and steadily to avoid damaging the caliper piston.
Install the new pads starting with the inboard pad. Since the inboard and outboard pads are identifiably different, there's only one way they will fit properly. There is a slight difference in the molding of the backing plates of the pads. Refer to the old pads you removed to make sure you're applying the pads for the left side.
Apply a liberal coat of silicone brake lubricant on the caliper anchor where the backing plate of the pads sit against.
Reinstall the caliper over the rotor.
Apply a light coat of silicone brake lubricant to the smooth area of the caliper bolts. Insert it into the caliper to lock it to the caliper anchor. Tighten the bolts properly.
Replace the wheel and lug nuts, tightening the lug nuts as tight as you can using the ratchet and a socket. Lower the Caravan and retighten the lug nuts in an alternate fashion using the torque wrench set at 100 foot pounds and a socket.
Repeat the procedure for the right side.
Pump the foot brake pedal when you're finished with the right side until the hydraulic pressure is restored to the caliper pistons and the brake pedal feels normal. Release the parking brake.
Check and adjust the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. Only add new DOT-approved brake fluid for your Caravan.
Remove the wheel chock and test drive.
Items you will need
Floor jack Jack stand Wheel chock Turkey baster DOT approved brake fluid 1/2-inch drive breaking bar 1/2-inch drive socket set 1/2-inch drive ratchet Large flathead screwdriver C-clamp Bungee cord Silicone based brake lubricant 1/2-inch drive adjustable torque wrench (recommended)

When I had nothing to do one afternoon last month, I thought I would watch a Hitchcock movie. I could not stop and ended up watching a whole lot of them; each one making me recall another masterpiece. I was amazed at the movie-making technique of the master. And, 50 years ago too. It is difficult to choose one among so many good ones but I think I like North by Northwest the most. What do you think?
I am pretty traditional, I go with 'Psycho'.

Spanbauer dominates in Apollo win
Alexandria's Anna Spanbauer had herself a game to remember in a 5-0 win over St. Cloud Apollo last Thursday.
The senior forward had a hand in every goal as she finished with three goals herself and assisted on the other two. Spanbauer scored from 16 yards out in the first half to make it a 2-0 game early. She added two more in the second half, one on a corner kick she sent in that deflected off an Apollo defender and into the net and another on a corner kick from 20 yards out.
Karsen Granning got Alexandria on the board first with a shot from the top of the penalty area in the first half. Spanbauer scored next and then found Haley Burns, who finished from close range after receiving a pass to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead at the break.
That was plenty of offense for this Alexandria defense and keeper Sarah Bruzek. They combined for their third shutout of the season. Through a 4-1 start, Alexandria had only given up two goals.

On big holidays my family always makes kugels. A kugel is simply a casserole. It comes in all shapes, sweet and savory with anything you can think of in it.
A kugel is great for the holiday for at least two reasons.
1. A kugel looks a bit more fancy and seems a bit special then just a plate of roasted veggies (although no one loves roasted veggies more than me!).
2. A kugel is so easy to make in advance and then heat up either from the fridge or freezer.
If you are hosting a big group ease is key! I like this kugel because it has a ton of fresh veggies in it, which is great for holiday that leaves everyone feeling super bloated.

The fact that the Red Sox are winning has made Mike Napoli's mysterious power slump a little less obvious.
It may not have cost Boston many victories, but it has been pronounced, and Napoli got last night off as manager John Farrell tried to get another left-handed bat in the lineup in the person of Mike Carp.
Napoli has just one extra-base hit in his last 74 at-bats — a double — and has not hit a home run in 77 at-bats. His last came on June 1.
"We're working to try and create a little more of a shorter stroke and we can't pinpoint anything physically," Farrell said in describing how the Sox are trying to help Napoli escape the power doldrums.
There is nothing wrong with the first baseman physically, the manager said. He added that since Napoli was diagnosed with a hip ailment, avascular necrosis, before the Sox signed him, it's understandable that health might be a concern.
The problem now is hits, especially for extra bases, not hips.
Jose Iglesias was named American League Rookie of the Month for June. He is the first Red Sox rookie so honored since Jacoby Ellsbury in September 2007. Iglesias was 34 for 86 (.395) with four doubles, twp triples, a homer and 17 runs. He also had an 18-game hitting streak.
Iglesias led AL rookies in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and runs.
On Wednesday night, Iglesias made a fine defensive play at shortstop in the second inning. He threw out Yasmani Grandal on a ball that deflected off Jon Lester and toward the left side. Iglesias changed direction, threw off balance, and got Grandal by a half-step.
In the bottom of the third, Iglesias led off and Edinson Volquez hit him with a pitch. That prompted a surprising warning to the benches from plate umpire Doug Eddings.
The homestand ends with a game against the Padres at 1:35 this afternoon. The Fourth of July will be typically busy in the city, so fans should run, hike, bike or subway to the game if at all possible.
The Red Sox have lost four straight Independence Day games, including the last three at Fenway Park.
Rookie Allen Webster will start for Boston and will be seeking his first major league win. Webster is 0-2 with a 9.50 ERA, but has been victimized by blown saves in two of his starts. Eric Stults, who is 6-6 with a 3.51 ERA, is scheduled to pitch for San Diego.
Farrell had a phone chat with David Ross (concussion) and said the catcher feels better and has begun working out, while Stephen Drew (hamstring) took batting practice and infield grounders but is still unavailable.
Clay Buchholz threw off flat ground from about 100 feet and said he is just about back to normal. Buchholz has either a sore shoulder or strained neck, depending upon whom you talk to, and when.
This is the 25th anniversary of Morgan's Magic, the amazing run to the AL East title by the 1988 Red Sox. Three years later, the magic of Joe Morgan still occasionally showed up, and Padres hitting coach Phil Plantier was at the center of one of those moments.
On Sept. 13, 1991 — yes, it was a Friday — the Red Sox played at Yankee Stadium in a game with playoff implications. Boston trailed, 3-2, in the top of the sixth with lefty Jeff Johnson on the mound for New York. With two on and one out, left-handed batting third baseman Scott Cooper was due up.
Morgan dispatched Plantier to pinch hit for Cooper. Plantier was, of course, also a left-handed batter, so the move made absolutely no sense from a strategic standpoint. Plantier then proceeded to hit a 3-2 pitch halfway up the third deck at old Yankee Stadium to give Boston a 5-3 lead. The Sox won, 5-4.
"I was pinch-hitting for my friend — Cooper was my roommate — and I think I broke my bat twice and fouled a pitch right off my wrists over behind third base. He threw me a slider on 3 and 2 and I got all of it.
"That was Joe — when he felt strongly about something, he went with his gut. Boy, was it ever fun."
Pitchers Rubby De La Rosa and Anthony Carter, both Pawtucket right-handers, have been selected to play for the International League in the Triple-A All-Star Game July 17 in Reno, Nev. De La Rosa is 2-1 with a 2.47 ERA, while Carter has 13 saves in 14 chances. … Ryan Lavarnway, who is working on a five-game hitting streak, will get the start behind the plate this afternoon, Farrell said. … Padres third baseman Chase Headley was hit by a pitch that wasn't a pitch in the first inning. He had called time, but Lester didn't hear it and threw home anyway, the ball hitting Headley in the leg. He limped away, shook it off, and singled off the wall.
