2013 audi a4 Model Overview
The 2013 Audi A4 and its hot S4 sibling have undergone a mild mid-cycle refresh, which includes the new Audi family front end among other exterior updates, and a plush new interior. The A4's base 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder engine carries over unchanged, with 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque on tap. The A4 is available in front-wheel drive paired with a continuously variable transmission, or with Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system and either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. The driver-centric QAudi S4 gets a bigger engine and standard all-wheel drive, with a choice of six-speed manual or quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. Audi will tell you the S4 is turbocharged ("mechanically turbocharged" when really pushed), but to us the S4's 3.0-liter V-6 that makes 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque is supercharged in nature.
Not surprisingly, the four-cylinder-powered A4 nets better fuel economy than the sport-themed S4. In front-drive form the A4 nets 24/31 mpg city/highway on the EPA test cycle. With the six-speed manual and all-wheel drive, the A4 is rated 22/32 mpg, while the automatic-equipped A4 is rated 20/30 mpg, or 20/29 mpg if you opt for the E85-capable engine. The S4 is rated 17/26 mpg with the manual transmission, and 18/28 mpg with the dual-clutch.
When we recently drove the refreshed 2013 A4 and S4, we walked away impressed with the changes. "The A4 is even better than before with its previous shortcomings addressed by Audi. The interior is more refined, efficiency has increased, and it even looks better," we wrote. "The S4 has a better center differential to make an already great drivetrain even better. Both cars benefit from the addition of Audi's latest electronics."
This year both the A4 and S4 get styling changes to help the two compact sedans to better match the larger A5 and A6. Both the front and rear end of the A4 are all new and feature wider air intakes, sharper lines, and new daytime running lamps that give the 2013 A4 and S4 more of a racecar-type feel. The A4 and S4 also benefit from a redesigned interior with higher-quality materials.
New for 2013
The 2013 Audi A4 and S4 have undergone a mid-cycle update. The changes include new styling outside, and a completely redesigned interior. Other changes include the addition of electric power steering, and a new trick center differential on the S4. The A4 Avant (station wagon, in Audi-speak) is discontinued for 2013, though it does live on as the high-riding Audi Allroad.

The first collection of unengorged and fully engorged larvae of Nuttalliella sp. (N. namaqua?) from the murid rodents Micaelamys namaquensis, Aethomys chrysophilus and Acomys spinosissimus in Limpopo Province and from M. namaquensis in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa, is documented. A total of nine larvae were collected from two M. namaquensis in the Soutpansberg mountain range in the Limpopo Province during April 2009. During the last week of September 2011, 221 larvae were collected from rodents at the same locality and 10 of 48 M. namaquensis, 6 of 12 Ae. chrysophilus and 3 of 14 Ac. spinosissimus were infested. One of the M. namaquensis harboured 53 larvae. Five larvae were collected from two M. namaquensis in the Northern Cape Province. Total genomic DNA was extracted from two larvae and a region of the 18S rRNA gene was sequenced for these. BLASTn searches revealed similarity between these specimens and the Nuttalliella sequences published on GenBank.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Lost Puddle Fish surfboard 5ft 7 Futures - Red/White/Blue
Product Details
The most obvious tweak to the original PJ is the inverted swallow tail set into a widened and squared off tail with a pronounced channel sitting inside the double concave vee delivering eye-watering speed and release. Less obvious changes to the original PJ include the wide point pushed a fraction further forward and the straightened rail line between the foot placements, both of which assist the board with more down-the-line speed and its ability to negotiate flat sections and mush.
Matt set out to create a board with the dialled in speed of a alternative/retro Fish but without the sometimes limiting ability to snap turns in average surf, and stay in the pocket/critical part of the wave.
The Puddle Fish has been hotly anticipated by an expectant crew of differing abilities. Sorted shortboarders looking for a summer toy will relish the speed and performance while the intermediate or first-time shortboarder will love the stability and wave catching characteristics.
The Puddle Fish is set to be a huge hit this coming Spring/Summer season with its optimum conditions being from 2 to 4 foot, either beach breaks, points or the mellower reefs. Five fin boxes give you the option of quad or thruster set-up, and I guess you could experiment with larger front fins and a small trailer for an even looser, retro fish feel?
Boardshop will be stocking the Puddle Fish in the "Bro Dims" but you can choose the "Pro Dims" should you wish via our Custom Board Builder.
Don't forget you can order a customised version of this board choosing your exact dims, fin set up and fin system, check out our customiser service at Boardshop right now. All you need to do is pump in the details and pay a £100 deposit with the balance due when we send you the board, average build time is 6-8 weeks. Also quite a few of the chaps here surf this board, or have surfed it plus we talk to lots of surfers and take on their feedback so we are here to chat about this or any other board, just give us a call on (44) 01243 674250

Gary Street (reviewed 22/10/2018)
The puddle fish is the most lively board ive ever ridden, paddles well, easy to duck dive and catches loads.
I've been riding it as a thruster until the fins arrive, and it's great. Pivots well and slow enough for in the pocket, even when it's well overhead.
Kind regards and many thanks from Croyde

What is diaper dermatitis?
Diaper dermatitis, commonly known as a diaper rash, is a term used to describe different skin rashes
in the diapered area. The rash is usually red, scaling and, rarely, ulcerated. It is most commonly seen
in infants between the ages of 9 to 12 months, but may begin within the first 2 months of life.
What causes diaper dermatitis?
Possible contributors to diaper dermatitis include the following:
irritation - from urine and feces trapped in the diaper.
candida diaper dermatitis - dermatitis caused by a yeast infection in the diaper area, often preceded
by diaper dermatitis.
seborrheic diaper dermatitis - a common, chronic skin condition that can affect the diaper area as well
as other locations on the body.
Other less common causes of dermatitis in the diaper area include the following:
impetigo - dermatitis caused by a bacterial infection.
perianal streptococcal disease - dermatitis caused by a streptococcus.
allergic dermatitis - a type of dermatitis that is rare in the first 2 years of life, but may be caused by
soaps and detergents, or the diaper.
What are the symptoms of diaper dermatitis?
The symptoms of diaper dermatitis vary depending on the cause of the dermatitis, and may be
different for each child that is affected. The following are common characteristics of the rash that may
occur with each type of infection:
candida diaper dermatitis - this rash usually begins in the creases or folds of the thighs and in the
diaper area, and then spreads. The rash is usually a deep, red, shiny rash with red, satellite lesions.
This type of rash may be associated with thrush, a yeast infection in the baby's mouth.
seborrheic diaper dermatitis - this rash also affects the skin folds in the groin area and is usually pink.
Infants may also have this rash on their face, scalp, or neck at the same time.
contact diaper dermatitis - this rash is mostly seen on the buttocks and may extend to the thighs,
stomach, and waist area, but does not generally involve folds in the area. The rash is usually red and
The symptoms of diaper dermatitis may resemble other skin conditions.
Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
How is diaper dermatitis diagnosed?
Diaper dermatitis is usually diagnosed based on the location and appearance of the rash during
physical examination of your child. In addition, your child's physician may do skin scraping to aid in
the diagnosis.
Treatment for diaper dermatitis:
Treatment for diaper dermatitis will vary based on the cause of the dermatitis. Specific treatment for
diaper dermatitis will also be determined by your physician based on:
your child's age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the condition
your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the condition
your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
emoval of the diaper for a few days
medicated diaper cream (as prescribed by your child's physician)
anti-inflammatory creams
moisture-resistant diaper creams
Proper skin care is also very important in preventing diaper dermatitis. This includes:
keeping the diaper area clean and dry.
changing diapers frequently.
allowing the diaper area to air dry at times.
limiting the use of soap and other harsh cleaners in the diaper area.

Once upon a time, Williamsburg's Grand Illumination was the Peninsula's undisputed champion of holiday crowds, pyrotechnics and merry-making.
Move over, colonials. Make room for Hollydazzle.
The Newport News celebration, happening Nov. 30 at City Center, is now so popular that organizers with the city's recreation department have been scrambling to figure out how to handle the crowds and the traffic.
An estimated 30,000 folks turn out to revel in Hollydazzle's blend of holiday music and explosions in the sky.

At a time when agencies are under attack for "use it or lose it" spending at the end of the fiscal year, the Government Accountability Office reported that the number of accounts with carryover balances rose from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2012, and that efforts to maximize efficiency in use of the funds must be tailored to individual programs.
In reviewing eight accounts from 2007 through 2012 in the Defense, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Treasury departments, auditors estimated total carry over balances for fiscal 2012 of $2.2 trillion, of which about $800 billion had not yet been obligated.
GAO noted that a single account may support multiple programs and said "a case-by-case analysis is needed to understand how best to achieve… financial benefits." Each account or program with unexpended funds, it said, should be examined by asking questions about its mission and goals, the sources and fiscal characteristics of the funding, the factors that affect the size or composition of carryover balances, and how the agency measures the balances.
"If an agency does not have a robust strategy in place to manage carryover balances, or is unable to adequately explain or support the reported carryover balance, then a more in-depth review is warranted," GAO wrote. "In those cases, balances may either fall too low to efficiently manage operations or raise to unnecessarily high levels, producing potential opportunities for those funds to be used more efficiently elsewhere."
The report, released on the last day of the fiscal year, was requested by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
GAO made no recommendations, and the four departments generally agreed with the observations, with HHS cautioning that "conclusions drawn from the report may not apply across the board to all accounts."

its scaring the poop out of me literary
Oct 15, 2010
HEy Doc great work I love the way you handle the questions and it seems your answers are the real deal. Well this is my situation around 100 days ago I was the insertive partner of oral sex from a csw in the Dominican republic when I got back to the states I started freeking out over all types of std and I kept pestering my Dr to treat me for syphilis gohhnaria and clamidia.He gave me 7 days of doxy 7 days of cypro and two different shots one for gohhnariah and one for the syphilis when my test came back they were all negative so I took all that stuff for nothing around a week after the blow Job I started getting pain in my lymph node areas under the arm on my jaw line and in my tendons all over my body I still have them nothing was swollen I also had diarrhea that is still around. so I went to the GI got a colonascapy and a endoscopy and was diagnosed with microscopic colitis from the biopsy. The lymphosites were on the threshold in one area they took samples from. As you know google is a wonderfully terrible thing and I read that that is one of the first things that happen when your body is trying to fight HIV. I have taken a orasure advanced rapid test finger prick test at the 97 day mark and it was negative but the lady who performed the test at the health department said I should come back at the 6 month mark. Do you think it is necessary? I have read conflicting stuff on the window period and rapid tests. Im going nuts my doc even put me on Lexapro that kinda sucks cause little willy does not want to perform. Thank you in advanced your cuban friend in Miami.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Cuban friend in Miami,
Your physician was wrong to empirically treat you with doxy, cipro and "two different shots for 'gohhnariah' and syphilis"!
A negative rapid HIV test day 97 is considered definitive and conclusive. HIV is not your problem. Insertive oral sex carries only a very low risk for HIV acquisition. A six-month test is not necessary. Although the option to take one is always open to you, I would not advise that it is warranted. Symptoms are notoriously unreliable in predicting who is and is not HIV infected. A negative HIV test outside the window period trumps symptoms each and every time. I agree you are "going nuts" and the Lexapro is probably a good idea. Counseling may also help you confront and conquer your irrational HIV fears.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

Have you ever heard your dad tell yet another one of his "Back in my day…" car stories and wished you could see some of that "glory days" metal, or just dreamed of a time when there was no C.A.R.B., tint laws, and if a more relaxed law man were more on your side, what you would have done and how you would've cruised the streets in style? Well the Japanese Classic Car Show held at the Queen Mary in Long Beach gives you some of both. Immaculately kept Toyota 2000GT's, Datsun Z cars in way more than 31 flavors and a chance to see so many more rare and respected J-tin this side of the Pacific was something not to be missed. Some of the people at the show are original owners, having been though more sets of carbs than you have birthdays; others may have just picked up the family hand-me-down and had the vision to show that mom's old Cressida had way more potential than anyone ever thought. Whatever the case, whether you dream of insane modern RB power or the sound of well-tuned Mikunis and tucked 14-inch Speed Stars, wake up, grab your sunscreen and make sure to mark your calendar for next year's Japanese Classic Car Show..

Matthew Bertulli needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 91 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
loopinion.com is a new Software as a Service (SaaS) offering from Demac Media. We're a software consulting company that helps clients grow their eCommerce operations through the effective use of tailored technology solutions.
We came up with the name by combining key concepts of the value our service offers. We're helping companies track the opinions of their customers. Basically, closing the loop of the social web. Hence the combination of the words "loop" and "opinion".
loopinion is going to help our clients further by providing them social media/web monitoring tools for monitoring the brands and products they sell online in a near-real time manner.
Our target customers are small to mid-sized online retailers. We have a core customer base of our own clients that will be our initial beta users of the service. From there, we will begin offering the service to other online retailers.
I want a logo for: loopinion.com
This is a brand new service, so we're on a clean slate in terms of art direction/color schemes.
Simple, clean, professional, playful, solid (no cheesey gradients), accurate, social
- listening, social opinion, analytics, metrics, measurement, engagement, brands
-MUST have a white background
-if you are going to use graphics make sure they are vector
-keep it simple, no more than 2 colors/fonts
-please do not use stock icons or graphics
Nice to haves:
-try to incorporate some sort of loop or "voice/squak box" to play on loop or opinion
We like icons that can incoroprate an object into the lettering..obviously with our name it will be challenging
Please no happy faces or 'cute' stuff. This is about real conversation monitoring.

A flood from above has pushed back the opening date of the Pocono Mountain Public Library at least two months.
A flood from above has pushed back the opening date of the Pocono Mountain Public Library at least two months.
Library Director Ann Shincovich said a coil in the building's new heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit broke earlier this month and poured hundreds of gallons of water into the building, ruining furniture that had only been installed days before.
"It's just heartbreaking," said Shincovich, who has helped direct the building project through twists and turns that finally led to a groundbreaking in 2011. "It's a real shame. We thought we'd be done by now, but that's not how it's going to go."
The coil broke Jan. 18 in what will be the attic area of the new building, sending water cascading into the library's second floor, and then finally to the first floor.
The new circulation desk stood in 2 inches of water for hours, Shincovich said. The carpeting was ruined on the first and second floors, ceiling tile was damaged and walls had to be taken down.
While a cleanup team was able to make it in Jan. 18 to work on the building, it still had "serious damage," Shincovich said.
There is no definitive estimate on how much the repairs to the $5.6 million building would cost, but Shincovich guessed it would amount to "tens of thousands" of dollars.
She added the library is insured for the damages, but that professionals are working to figure out what exactly happened and why.
The current library at the Coolbaugh Township municipal complex remains open while the new library is being repaired.
On the bright side, Shincovich said, the library books hadn't been moved into the new building yet. Water damage would have ruined them.
Now the library is hoping for a late March opening, she said.

After much speculation, World Wrestling Entertainment has announced that it will not be showing Muhammad Hassan on any of its further TV broadcasts.
The character, portrayed by Mark Copani of Detroit, has been mired in controversy over the last few weeks, following a segment on Smackdown on July 7. In that episode, Hassan's associate, Khosrow Daivari, battled The Undertaker. Post match, Undertaker was attacked and kidnapped by a group of wrestlers wearing black masks.
The New York Post summed up its take on the in-ring action in its July 12th edition: "The sketch included images of Arabs in ski masks carrying a fallen Arab wrestler over their heads after he had 'sacrificed' himself, evoking imagery similar to a suicide bomber's funeral."
Both WWE and UPN came under fire for the antics, which were broadcast on the same day of a bombing in London, England. While the segment did not air on England, it was broadcast in the U.S. and Canada, as well as on wwe.com.
During the show on UPN, a crawl ran four times during the broadcast, noting that, "In light of today's tragic events in London, parental discretion is advised in viewing this episode."
Variety quoted UPN spokeswoman Joanna Lowry from a statement after the show aired. "Due to the tragic events in London, we took the added measure of running an advisory four times throughout the broadcast so that viewers could make the appropriate viewing decision for their household ... We will continue to monitor the situation involving this character and storyline."
Since then, UPN has reportedly been urging WWE not to use Hassan on their broadcasts. WWE confirmed this today, stating in a release that, "UPN has asked us to be sensitive to the usage of the Arab-American character, Muhammad Hassan. We have agreed with UPN, and have not had the character on SmackDown! since that date."
Speculation on various websites has been that the Hassan character would be removed from WWE completely, or the character would move back to Raw, which is currently broadcast on SpikeTV. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated on Thursday that, "we've had confirmation that WWE is planning on dropping the Muhammad Hassan character due to all the negative publicity, so he won't be moving to Raw."
WWE, however, has yet to confirm this publicly. "It is uncertain as to whether or not the WWE will continue with this character beyond this Sunday's Pay-Per-View, The Great American Bash," the WWE said in a release on Thursday.
Before arriving on the November 1, 2004 edition of Raw, the 24-year-old Hassan had been in the developmental OWV territory working as Mark Magnus.

great, is that from any scene?
It's Femto's birth, but reinterpreted, so it's not from any "real" scene (same goes for the Guts statue). I wish the model was more faithful to the manga's design.
I agree, but I think their own twist on it is interesting enough on its own. That, and I think they want to avoid directly competing with AoW by creating identical statues.
Looks fantastic to me! Accentuates how awesome Femto's design is. Though it is hard to reconcile why there's a woman in the cracked beherit....
That's a silly assumption. Berserk's a rich story with so many ideas or scenes or characters to choose from. We often discuss how AOW isn't faithful with character design. It would work in this new company's favor to be as faithful as possible. They can avoid creating identical statues by picking different scenes or poses or different characters. I'd rather see them do that versus make something up that isn't in the manga. This Femto Rebirth scene doesn't fit at all, base and pose.
From my source these two pieces will be done with PVC, unlimited number. You can order 5000 pieces and as long as you pay they will do it for you. Also max factory is known for rereleasing the products made years ago. So if u like it go get them. Each probably gonna cost You anywhere from 200 to 300 bucks. If you want a fairly unique / rare limited piece u gotta go elsewhere. Also u can choose to get it two years later with around the same price. They will be steadily available.
Unless I'm mistaken, I think that's suppose to be part of the Vortex. Which I think is a really nice touch, shows they're thinking outside the box.
each probably gonna cost You anywhere from 200 to 300 bucks..
While I think staying faithful to character design is important, I don't feel the same way about bases. AoW has done mostly scenes that were from the manga, but I'm having a hard time recalling another line of statues that tries to directly copy a scene from the original work (continuosly that is). They usually do poses that are true to how the character might act, and I think we're getting that with these Max Factory statues. Guts' immense strength is shown by him one-handing the DS, and it puts the DS on display. Femto's is more subtle, and while the "looking at hand" pose is fairly stock, I think it works here. The focus is on Femto's design, and it is intricately detailed. This comes down to personal preference, because I certainly don't think they NEED to only do scenes from the manga, but it would be good every now and then.
I prefer that to AoW's artists who just "don't want the characters to look like that, and we can't make them change their minds".

Celina led 33-26 to start the fourth quarter and opened the period with a 7-2 run keyed by Newman's 3-point play. Sarah Cantu and Presley Stastny each scored 10 points for Celina (34-3).

Celina grabbed the lead for good on Newman's 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in the first quarter. Lorena got within 29-26 in the third before Celina closed the quarter with a four straight points on free throws by Cantu and a spinning layup by Stastny.

For decades, Medicare payments to physicians were kept confidential, but after a lengthy court battle that ended last June, the records now have been opened to the public. The newly released financial data cover more than 880,000 health care professionals who collectively received about $77 billion in 2012 from the Medicare Part B fee-for-service program.
CMS recently published data showing how much physicians received in Medicare payments in 2012.
After having gone on record long ago with concerns about releasing such information devoid of context and absent any established process for physician review and appeal of errors, it should come as no surprise that the AAFP now seeks to contextualize this mountain of data.
To that end, the Academy created a dedicated Web page to help physicians communicate with patients and the media about how to properly interpret data contained in CMS' Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data: Physician and Other Supplier Public Use File(www.cms.gov).
The new AAFP online resource outlines the Academy's policy on transparency, specifically noting, "The AAFP recognizes the potential value of Medicare physician claims data. If used correctly, it can potentially provide accurate and meaningful information to patients, physicians and other stakeholders that could improve quality at the point of care."
Story Highlights
- The AAFP has created a comprehensive analysis document that lends context to CMS' recent publication of Medicare payment data.
- The analysis explains in detail how the CMS data can and should be used, while outlining the consequences of releasing such raw data in the absence of important medical context.
- A key concern about the data is that they do not indicate the severity or complexity of conditions a physician handled during a given patient visit and, as presented, provide no ready way to measure the quality of care delivered.
To aid in properly interpreting those data, the AAFP has prepared a four-page analysis(4 page PDF) that explains in detail how the CMS site can and should be used, while outlining the consequences of releasing a raw data file in the absence of important medical context such as an explanation of the costs associated with operating a physician practice.
For example, whereas the data may attribute payments to a single physician, physician assistants and nurses also can file for Medicare payments using that physician's National Provider Identification number, so the data do not indicate that another individual under the physician's supervision actually could have performed the service.
The data became available pursuant to CMS' modification of its policy(www.federalregister.gov) earlier this year regarding Freedom of Information Act requests for information about amounts paid to individual Medicare physicians, which, in turn, followed the resolution of a protracted legal battle between CMS and the parent company of the Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones.
Publication of the data generated considerable media attention, and various reports highlighted a handful of subspecialists who receive millions in Medicare payments. Of the highest-paid 2 percent of Medicare physicians by specialty, however, family physicians ranked well below the top earners, according to an article in The New York Times(www.nytimes.com) that cited CMS' data.
All in all, the Academy's position is that the data represent yet another example of the need to move away from the fee-for-service payment model. Among the 214 million office visits that Medicare paid for in 2012, physicians and nurse practitioners were paid an average of $57 per visit. Thus, from the perspective of family physicians, the data release highlights how they have been underpaid in many instances.
Moreover, the AAFP anticipates that the data release will allow the media and public officials to take a closer look at physicians who order more expensive medications or perform costly procedures that may not be medically necessary.
Still, although the information is intended to help patients make more informed decisions about choosing a physician, comparing physicians within the same specialty is complicated because physicians who choose to subspecialize may treat very different types of patients, meaning their treatment protocols -- and, thus, the payments they receive -- could vary widely.
That, say the Academy and other groups, raises the possibility that hospitals and insurance companies could use the data to exclude select physicians from their networks because they are considered too cost-intensive.
In addition, the data do not account for the severity or complexity of conditions a physician handled during a given patient visit and, as presented, provide no ready way to measure the quality of care delivered.
Overall, the AAFP and other medical organizations have expressed concerns about the potential for errors in the data because there is no formal avenue by which physicians can correct mistakes related to their data. According to the Academy's recent analysis, however, physicians who disagree with the data attributed to them can communicate that concern to CMS via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Got this in a sampler, WOW what a surprise! Looks great,little loose on the gray ash,easy full draw, creamy cedar taste with a hint of spice.Except for the little spice I would have thought it was and Ashton. I can have 4 of these rather than my Ashtons. Thanks Famous Smoke Shop
Got a fiver offered in an on line Father's Day special I couldn't pass up. The Churchill's were added in by default. Needdless to say, after a couple of weeks stored at a steady 70% RH... My quiriosity got the best of me. Not really a huge fan of the "natural", though there have been a few here and there by the likes of Padilla/RP, and everyone's fav. J. Drew. So I'm a bit spoiled, so needles to say, these just didn't measure up. Defenitly, not anywhere near as the afore mentioned by any stetch, though that don't mean they're terrible. There's really NO such thing as a terrible vitola LOL. That's my $0.02 here, but I'm more of a full flavor fan. So...
Disclaimer: I prefer and enjoy milder stogies. Regardless, RG has always delivered consistentcy with a smooth draw, even burn and what I guess you'd call a mellow, nutty flavor leaving a pleasant aftertaste (and that lovely white ash rarely requires a tray before an inch has been puffed - a telling mark of quality build.) I don't say it can totally compete head-to-head with the boutique Lincoln or Hamilton-eaters but it may be the best you can get for two or three Washingtons.
There are two BIG sticks that I really enjoy...Excalibur No. 1's and these. Very different, but both nearly the best of their kind (for me). The Gonzalez has great mild to medium flavor, billows of thick smoke, it's georgous to look at and hold, burns well and evenly...what's not to like? Right out of the box with no settling time they were superb. Well, a box of these hummers REALLY puts a dent on humidor space - but worth it to be sure. I can't imagine how they do it for the price - I've tried these and the Corona Extra (another really really fine stick) and belive they're one of the best values Arthur sells. Way to go Famous-Smoke! Another winner!
I read ashort clip in your catalog that wayne from tampa said about the rafaels is this an ashton!.So i decided to try a couple corona extras.know ive been smoking cigars for 15 years and i will tell you THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CIGAR!. mild silky wrapper just a great smoke. who ever dont like the taste of these babys needs palate surgery. so all i have to say IS THIS AN ASHTON!!
Very good cigar. Shared my first box with some friends and they were impressed. Nice easy draw, good flavor, well built cigar, and a good price.
I LOVE THIS CIGAR. Rafael Gonzalez has really snuck up on me and has quickly become one of my favorite cigars. A smooth, very well balanced, mild to medium experience, it is best enjoyed with your favorite coffee and a slight suggestion of cream. Rafael Gonzalez will definitely make a difference in your day. Whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening, I look forward to it every time.
I received an RG robusto in a sampler pack that I purchased and of all the samples this RG is without a doubt the best. I have been trying different names and makes and have found the Hondurans to be the best for my taste. I have orderd my first box of RG's and look forward to a long relationship with the Famous Smoke Shop and the RG rubustos. Thank you for your service and sample pakages for those of us who are experimenting.
Got one of the RG Robustos in a sampler. Wow! Smooth, with a hint of wood and nut. Definitely a pleasure to smoke any time of the day. I'll be ordering a box each of Toro's and Robusto's soon as my everyday smokes. A steal at their current price!
I recently ordered a box of the double coronas and smoked one the moment the box arrived, just the heating of the tip and I was hooked. Once I let them season a little bit they only got better.This cigar has a smoothness I have yet to match, construction is fantastic and the draw is easy and filling. This cigar would be worth the msrp but I am glad to see you lowered the price as I will need to order more.
A wonderful treat, especially with coffee in the morning. Sweet and mellow with notes of cedar. A friend gave me one thinking I would like it and turned out to be a great choice. A little wider than most Robustos, but these dimensions are excellent.
I found these cigars to be a great everyday smoke, especially for such a reasonable price. I will stock my humidor with these regularly. Before I ever looked up any ratings I rated these at least a solid 89. I have had no burn or draw issues as some have mentioned. I have smoked my first three down to less than an inch.


text: Values to Settle February 25, 2014 09:52 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Greg Peterson Machinery Pete Machinery Pete Email Twitter Used 200+ hp tractor values decline Are you or have you been the parent of a teenager? If so, you've likely had your share of "yeah buts." My daughters knew I wasn't a fan of going down the "yeah but" explanation road; however, I always tried to listen. This is my attempt to prepare you for Machinery Pete's "yeah but," so hear me out. Values on used 200+ hp tractors moved lower, as the fourth quarter of my "Used Value Index" shows. Rated at 8.3 on a scale of 1-10, 200+ hp tractor values are tied for the lowest quarterly rating since the middle of 2007. Values also reached 8.3 in second quarter 2010. The Index ratings are based on 24-plus years of data compiled from auction sales. "At a farm auction in south-central Kansas Nov. 18, I saw a 2012 John Deere 8360R tractor with 650 hours sell for $241,000—a record auction price." A buildup of one- to five-year-old used 200+ hp units on implement dealer lots has driven the price decline, which has meant less price pressure at auction because there are more options sitting on dealer lots. The average auction price for John Deere 8330s fell 10.5% last year, from $142,267 in 2012 to $127,308 last year and dropping even more in the fourth quarter of 2013 when four 8330s sold, averaging $117,375. While used 200+ hp tractor values are down, I need to interject a few "yeah buts" for a full understanding. Yeah But No. 1: Values were up sharply from Nov. 1, 2013, through about Dec. 11. The annual fourth quarter year-end tax-buyer bump kicked in hard, even on used late-model one- to five-year-old 200+ hp tractors, which had been getting softer since late spring. At a farm auction in south-central Kansas Nov. 18, I saw a 2012 John Deere 8360R tractor with 650 hours sell for $241,000—a record auction price. Then, during the last three weeks of December, prices on late-model 200+ hp tractors softened. Yeah But No. 2: Values are not falling on used 200+ hp tractors that are 10-plus years old and in good condition. Strong premiums continue to be paid at auction. For example, at a Jan. 25, 2014, farm auction in west-central Indiana, a 1991 model Case IH 7140 (200 hp) tractor with 2,185 hours sold for $70,500. That's the second highest auction price I've ever seen on a Case IH 7140. Auctioneer Jeff Boston of Boston Auction Service said leading up to the sale on the Case IH 7140, he had calls from interested buyers located anywhere from Louisiana to Iowa and Ohio. What's behind the strong buyer interest for nice condition older used 200+ hp tractors? Scarcity. It's very difficult to find tractors such as this with few hours and only one or two owners. So when they do show up for sale, tons of folks want in on the action. The second factor at play is simply the high cost of new models, as well as one- to five-year-old used models. Those big prices tend to make $70,000 to $100,000 look much more attractive. Since 1989, Greg Peterson has compiled more than 500,000 auction prices, which he updates at www.machinerypete.com.

Bubba Wallace leads first career 6 laps at Bristol
By STEVE REED
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) The Latest on the NASCAR race at Bristol Motor Speedway (all times local):
2:50 p.m.
Bubba Wallace now knows what it is like to run up front in a Cup Series race.
Wallace passed Busch, the pole sitter, with 126 laps remaining to lead a Cup race for the first time in his career.
It didn't last long though. Busch passed Wallace a short time later on the half-mile track before a brief yellow flag for rain.
1:55 p.m.
Brad Keselowski has captured the second stage of the Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway in what is now an official race. Keselowski also won stage one.
NASCAR is hoping to complete the entire 500 laps.
Keselowski passed Kyle Larson with seven laps remaining in the second stage with a bump-and-run move. Larson tried to chase him down but didn't have the grip on the tires to catch him.
Keselowski said of his car: "We are screaming."
The race was delayed about 35 minutes Monday after being postponed Sunday after 204 laps because of rain.

Ok, so instead of spending all of my working life behind a glowing flat screen I thought it would be a good idea to get out and see some arty San Francisco shit... Meet some artists, see some weird jobs, visit publishing houses, galleries, and studios- meeting people through email is nice and all, but there's something to be said for putting faces to names. So for this first of many weekly outings I met up with SF artist Jay Howell and we stopped through Ron Turner's Last Gasp book, comic and zine distribution, the studios of Alika Cooper, Joe Burns, Andy Diaz Hope, Jovi Schnell, and Laurel Roth. We also swung by Deluxe and Hamburger Eyes... Saw Gang Gang Dance @the Independent and wrapped up the night by drinking at POPs still 2am with Meric Long from The Dodos.
If you ever wanted to hi five or punch out Jay Howell all you have to do is stop through Atlas cafe where he works.
We were trying to think of how we could start the day off and noticed the Pipe Organ place across the street... but they were closed. Damn! maybe next week.
So we walked down the street to Last Gasp to see if they'd give us a tour, and they were kind enough to let us in.
The place is huge and they distribute loads of amazing books and zines. Check out their site.
The company was formed in 1970 when Ron Turner published the comic Slow Death Funnies with the likes of Robert Crumb in a bid to raise funds for a Berkeley ecology center (one of the first in the country), but by the time the comic was printed (20,000 copies) the staff of the ecology center had changed and when Ron went to drop off the comics, they weren't interested and only bought ten copies thus Last Gasp was formed to attempt to sell all 20,000 copies.
Jay likes
Colin, Ron's son, shows us Ron's private art gallery hidden in the back.
A huge collection of art, circus posters and a lot of taxidermied malformed animals.
What's with the fez, Bruce?
The two headed pig, Winky.
This cafe has four back legs and two other legs growing out its back!!
He has all these original circus freak posters from the 20s.
He seems to be into the freaky oddity.
And boobs.
We say good bye to Last Gasp.
"Uncle Gaylord's"
Andrew works at Blow Fish. Is it too early for a beer? nah...
Jay attempts pull ups.
Thanks for the beers, Andrew.
and back on the bike this time heading over to Alika Cooper's studio in the Mission.
Well hello there, Alika Cooper.
Alika shares a studio with some other artists as she gives oils more attention. She needed a space where she wouldn't be overcome by the fumes.
The space is shared with Jovi Schnell.
Some of Alika's oil works.
Alika has a solo show at Mark Wolf opening July 19th at 49 Geary.
Joe Burns space
Original Chris Johanson Antihero.
Then we checked out Andy Diaz Hope's studio below... He does these great meticulous pieces where he rolls photos into these gel caps to create a larger photo- The Morning After Portraits.
These masks are from a series called Everybody Is Somebody's Terrorist
So good...
Andy Diaz Hope - be sure to check out his show that opens July 12th @Catherine Clark who've just moved out of 49 Geary and into a new spot on Minna downtown.
Also in the same building is the studio of Laurel Roth.
She makes these designer pet skulls.
Pit Bull skull
These birds are made out of press on nails and hair clips.
I forgot who's studio this was, but she was featured on KQED's show Spark some time ago.
All the studios share this outdoor area complete with baby frogs.
Jay and I were off again headed for Deluxe to see if someone would give us a tour of the factory.
Mic-e Reyes office with an epic Mark Gonzales piece.
Mic-e gave us a tour but... unfortunately, no photos. industry secrets.
he showed us the new Zip Zinger, and I have no idea why I didn't ask him for it. I want one.
And then down to Thee Parkside where Jay knows more bartenders.
Who's that? NightOwlCoHolic's in there.
Hamburger time.
Ping Pong time
He's done-fer. Smoked him.
This is where I realized that these things are going to go much better if we don't start drinking before sun down... Couldn't think of what to do next.
we placed some phone calls to figure out a game plan.
Let's go to the Hamburger Eyes dojo... but on the way we spotted a fencing school of some sort... gotta check that out real quick.
ok, kids poking each other.
and then to Hamburger Eyes where Ray was about to close up shop... I took a look around.
They just released their music issue and it rules (we'll be featuring it soon), and they held a show to celebrate its release with photos from the issue.
heads up, NYC. Here comes The Mall.
Vetiver is so damn good... not sure of the hippie on the left.
We said good bye to Ray and made our way to Doc's Clock where Jay kills some time before the Gang Gang Dance show with a massive shot of Fernet.
And then we're off for the Independent.
Can't wait for Tortoise this weekend.
Sorry to anyone who was standing next to us as we drunkenly critique Gang Gang's performance during the performance... I'd hate myself of I were next to myself sometimes.
Mr Neubeck and O'Brien were there... Get that boat, Nick! only $350.
Matt Furie and Aiyana Udesen.
Dave Potes and Jay Howell.
The shopkeep, Andrew Scott of Needles and Pens.
Ran into Meric Long of The Dodos and convinced him to drink with us.
Shane and Jake of Hightower at Pops... Hey, shouldn't you dudes be out on tour?
Jesse and Andrew
and we closed Pops talking about suicide...
As we were out sailing on Sunday when over the radio was a report from a tourist cruise boat that had three people on board watch someone jump off the Golden Gate bridge. The Coast Guard was called, but I don't think they found the body as the tide was max ebb and it probably got swept out to sea... READ THIS.
You know there's the talk of a barrier to keep people from jumping. That is so stupid... It's going to look ridiculous for starters and two, a lot of people who go there to jump are talked down... You take that away and people will attempt it at home away from peoples' eyes and the potential to be saved and then helped... anyway... anyone see that GG bridge documentary yet? The Bridge... this would keep me from going that way. You travel 240 to 250 feet in four seconds, traveling about 75 mph and come to a complete stop. It's like being in a horrible car accident... Your organs tear inside. It's not an instant death. You'll flail about in the water as you internally bleed and eventually drown... One lady jumped and then shot herself in the head because she didn't want to feel the impact.
And if you don't wanna see some heavy stuff, don't click here.
Ok, enough of that.
We saw Barry Bonds hit another homerun.
and went sailing on the nicest day of the year last week.
We sailed around Treasure Island in the 80 degree heat. So nice.
and came into this sunset.
Also checked out an art show one Alcatraz for a car company.
So what should we check out next week? Do you work somewhere really weird? We wanna see some cool stuff... Maybe you work at the zoo behind the scenes feeding the bears? Work at the MOMA and wanna show us the secret room? Maybe you are an artist with the best studio in the city... or just a millionaire who wants to take us out for lunch on his yacht? Whatever, leave a comment below or email us your ideas. What would be a cool thing to do and then to post up here? news(at)fecalface.com

PITTSBURGH (AP) — When Edward Gerjuoy started teaching at the University of Pittsburgh in 1964, the Beatles had invaded America, boys played with a new G.I. Joe action figure and a generation reared on the make-believe of television faced harsh Cold War realities.
Almost five decades later, Gerjuoy, 94, of Oakland has no thoughts of retiring.
"What would I do? I want to be creative, productive," he said from his office in Old Engineering Hall that he visits seven days a week. "I think being active is healthy."
Workers who spend decades at the same shop are exceedingly rare these days.
"This is a dying breed," said Kerry Hannon, an author, journalist and authority on career transitions and retirement. "We 50-somethings may be the last to ride that wave."
Just 1 percent of the workforce — about 1.5 million people, including almost 53,000 Pennsylvanians — stayed with employers for 40 or more years, according to the Center for Workforce Information and Analysis at the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
Once the traditional employment model, the value in staying at a company decreased, said Vera Krofchek, director of research and strategy at the Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board, which unites job seekers with companies that need them.
"Skills can become outdated really quickly today," Krofchek said. "Most people will hold 10 to 15 jobs before they're 40."
The median number of years workers stayed with an employer was 4.6 in 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said, up from 4.4 years in 2010.
Regardless of whether employees stay or go, researchers say work — even lots of it — can be beneficial.
The keys are getting absorbed in worthwhile work, having the resources or management support to do a job well and make progress, and getting along with co-workers, according to Howard S. Friedman, distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of The Longevity Project.
"In those circumstances, hard work is likely to help keep you healthy and happy, even after many years," he said.
Gerjuoy, who came to Pitt with a doctorate in theoretical physics from the University of California at Berkeley and received a law degree at age 59, made adjustments over the years.
A professor emeritus in Pitt's department of physics and astronomy, he embraces desktop computers and does research in quantum computing.
Cardiologist Donald Fisher has been on the job even longer than Gerjuoy: 60 years with Allegheny General Hospital.
"I was recruited from Chicago where I was earning $9,000 a year," said Fisher, 93, of Ross, who was featured in Time Magazine in 1952 for using a heart defibrillator he built to save the life of a woman undergoing heart surgery. It was one of the first defibrillators ever used in the clinical setting.
He goes to the office five days a week and wants to see his latest research project completed before thinking about retirement.
"If I can get that done, I may start thinking about playing the piano, writing an autobiography ... looking up old friends," he said.
About 60 percent of working Americans said they stick with employers for benefits and 59 percent stay for money, according to The Workforce Retention Survey by the American Psychological Association.
Workers in the public sector have almost double the median tenure of private-sector employees, partly because three in four government workers are age 35 or older, compared to three in five private-sector workers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
Ed Bialobok, 62, of North Huntingdon has worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs for 32 years.
"This is kind of like an extension of the military," said Bialobok, who was wounded in the Vietnam War in 1970. "We kind of help each other."
Bialobok, who heads a team of counselors working with combat veterans at the Veterans Resource Center in White Oak, credits the work ethic of his parents for his job longevity.
"I still enjoy my work here and believe in it," he said. "The rewards are more than just a paycheck."

A few hours later, Sandra was at the start line and very ready to go. I was happy that Aaron showed up for the race. He would be the best company if Sandra could stay with him for the long race.
Half way up and he was doing a bit of damage... again! Sandra didn't seem bothered and went with him.
The older guy just kept going. Sandra and Aaron just paced themselves up the incline. Behind, a lot of pain, I could see it!
Damaged done, these guys came down very fast on the other side.

Feel connected to others and live longer
Recreate vivid memories of strong social connections using hypnosis
No man or woman is an island. We all need to feel connected to other people. Incredibly though, the importance of social ties goes much, much deeper than just making us feel better.
Feeling connected to other people - having strong social ties - is directly related to physical health. Social ties have a positive 'buffering effect' and which occurs despite adverse life style choices such as smoking and drinking too much.
People with fewer social ties die younger
Smoking and diet are important factors in determining your health but a large piece of research (1) found that the powerful influence of social support on health seems to be largely independent from the role that your family or friends might have in encouraging healthier life style choices and health habits.
It's easy to forget about great friendships from the past but even if people are no longer in your life you can still relate to them through wonderful memories and in that way feel more connected to them.
This session will get you feeling deeply relaxed and strongly connected to other people in your current and past life - and the great thing is every time you use this session you can feel connected to different people, even if they are on the other side of the world.
Feel connected with hypnosis
All you need to do is pop on your headphones at your computer, or plug into your CD or mp3 player. You will listen to a short introduction about why social connections are so important, and then experience a wonderfully relaxing, uplifting hypnosis session that will help you vividly recall happy times where you had a strong connections with one or many people.
The Feel Connected hypnosis download will help your body and mind to;
- benefit from deep relaxation
- evoke the positive physical changes you originally felt when connected socially
- be more open to connecting with people in your current life
- reconnect with those people from your past and pick up the threads

(1) Berkman and Syme 1989. The study found used 7,000 residents of Almeda County California and tracked them over 9 years. The research looked at their health habits, the amount of social ties, close friends they had, whether they were in regular group contact such as church attendance and whether they were married. The mortality rates seemed to be directly linked to the simple factor of quantity of social ties. People with few ties to other people had mortality rates 2 to 5 times higher than better connected people. This strong link between social ties and death rates was independent of more traditional such as smoking, drinking, exercise and obesity. The link applied to both sexes, all ethnic groups and in a 17 year follow up appeared to hold good into old age.

Yep, it's January, and while a good chunk of the snowboard world glued their eyes on Jersey to see which pipe-players would officially snatch up official U.S. Olympic Team spots at the final Grand Prix, me and a carload of able-bodied snowboarders decided to do the exact opposite. That is, we decided to meet up in Colorado's high alpine and spend the week simply riding.
Leanne Pelosi, TJ Schneider, Dustin Cravin, Ryan Thompson, Josh Sherman, photographer Scott Serfas, and Salomon's Alex Pashley joined me in the plundering of glorious deep-winter snow around Vail and Summit County, then down south to Red Mountain Pass and on to Silverton. Bombs were dropped. Tricks were stuck. Tweaks were poked. High fives were connected. Locals were befriended. Haunted hotels were stayed in. Jukebox Johnny Cash songs were overheard. Crystal-clear powder mornings were awoken to. The white room was entered. And not a single snatch of conversation about competition or "the Olympics was had.
Most importantly, over the course of seven or so days of solid riding, we did not do one turn under 9,000 feet. The lowest point of shred was probably had in the town of Breckenridge at 9,000 feet, and the highest would be somewhere around the mid 12,000s up on Red Mountain and at Silverton. Ahem, do you know what it feels like to hike at 12,000 feet? Let me explain. Your once supple expanse of sponge-like lung constricts into a tiny straw-like thing, causing you to struggle relentlessly for every small gulp of thin mountain air you can suck in. Each step up the boot pack is a monstrous feet of energy exertion. You feel light headed and loopy, and every now and then a mysterious altitude headache pierces your peaceful skull. But here's the payoff: football fields of light, dry powder that engulfs you as you lay in turns—it shoots up and over your head, momentarily blinding you and obstructing your airway, and lingering in the air for several magical moments once your gone. It's a thing of beauty, and we had more than our fill of it, and all while hundreds of poor, poor people stood around in the wacky Jersey weather waiting to watch the next competitor drop. Ha ha! Sorry Annie.

It's the moment many of us look forward to our entire life -- the day our one true love will ask for our hand in marriage. But how will he do it? We can never predict that. But in the meantime, maybe he can sift through these celebrity proposal stories and gather up some inspiration:
1. Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler
Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler
This Valentine's Day was certainly a memorable one for Aguilera, thanks to her beau of 3 years, Matt Rutler. The Voice judge was wisked away to Hawaii for a romantic weekend, where Rutler decided to pop the question with a very sparkly and elaborate ring. A source told People that Rutler had been planning the proposal for quite some time.
"Matt spent over a year designing the ring with the ring designer to represent their three-year journey together as a couple," the source said. "He has been planning this for a while and was just waiting for the right time — the ring has been done for months. Every single placement of each stone has a reason and meaning."
2. alec and hilaria
Hilaria and Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin is admittedly not very good at keeping secrets. However, despite his inability to plan a surprise, he still managed to stun his Spanish wife with a magical proposal on the eastern edge of Long Island.
Baldwin drove his gorgeous bride, Hilaria, to lovely Montauk, New York where he popped the question near the Montauk Point Lighthouse. He told her that the edge of coastline was the closest he could get her to Spain, where her family still lives.
"He got on his knee," she said. "And I burst out crying." So sweet!
3. proposals slide 01_Kat Von D and Deadmau5
Kat Von D and Deadmau5
When the Canadian musician -- whose real name is Joel Thomas Zimmerman -- proposed to the lovely Mexicana last December, he did it via his Twitter. "I can't wait for Christmas so ... Katherine Von Drachenberg, will you marry me?" He tweeted, along with a photo of the engagement ring. Von D later responded with, "Please excuse me while I go squeeze the hell out of my fiancé!"
4. proposals slide 02_Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
If Cannon's proposal isn't one of the most over the top and unique proposals ever, we don't know what is. Cannon proposed to Carey not once, but twice! The first time he took the songstress to a building rooftop and handed her a candy ring which had the real diamond ring inside.
The second time, Cannon took Carey on a helicopter ride around the Empire State Building, and popped the question once again. Of course she said yes!
5. proposals slide 03_Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey
Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey
It was during Christmas that McConaughey decided to propose to his Brazilian beauty. The actor wrapped Alves engagement inside eight different boxes. She unwrapped box after box until finally reaching the one that held the ring. After a long pause, she accepted his proposal.
6. proposals slide 05_Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb
Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb
Vergara and Loeb's engagement story is not only different, but also hilarious. It was on the Colombiana's 40th birthday while they were visiting Mexico. The couple went to the Chichen Itza pyramids, where her fiancé took her past a security checkpoint and went down on one knee. But what happened next was completely unexpected.
"He said that we got permission to go and take the picture," Vergara said while on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "So I said 'ok let's go' and when I went there he took the ring out there. I made sure I liked it, I put it on immediately, and then I said yes. But when I came down they almost arrested us."
7. proposals slide 06_Roselyn Sanchez and Eric Winter
Roselyn Sanchez and Eric Winter
The moment came as Sanchez and Winter sat in a kayak under a full moon at midnight, in a bay off the coast of the Puerto Rican island Vieques. It was perfect, until Sanchez freaked out over their tour guide sped away.
"The guy knew to take off so Eric could propose, but imagine how I felt floating in this huge bay in the middle of the night with nobody around," Sanchez explains. "I started calling back, 'Señor, hello! Come back!' until I realized something was going on."
He pulled out a 4.3-carat brilliant-cut diamond ring and asked her to marry him. She was overjoyed, but told Winter, "Put it away, please. I don't want it to drop in the water!"
8. proposals slide 04_Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman
Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman
The couple were vacationing in Carmel, CA, when Bratman proposed to the Ecuadorean American pop singer. He took her to a hotel room filled with rose petals and gift boxes. Inside each box was a present with a poem Bratman had written himself. When Aguilera opened the box containing the ring, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Preciosisimo!

Chicago Public Schools officials plan to ask the state legislature for more time before submitting a required list of school closings.
The deadline is Dec. 1 but the district wants to extend it until March 31 while a commission conducts an "extensive community engagement" process, according to the new CPS chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett.
The nine-member commission will include former Chicago Police Supt. Terry Hillard, state Sen. Iris Martinez, former Commonwealth Edison chairman Frank Clark along with a former principal, a former teacher and a CPS parent.
Byrd-Bennett said the commission will conduct a "rigorous, transparent and open dialogue with school communities over the next several months to help the district make more informed decisions around school actions and better invest resources that will help kids access a high-quality education."
The commission will then submit a report to CPS officials.
"This is not designed to delay tough decisions," Byrd-Bennett said. "Our goal is to give the community the respect they deserve in this process, rebuild trust with CPS and create a path for right-sizing our district so that we can better invest resources in every child and every school in our city," she added.
State law requires CPS to release a list of school actions, including boundary changes, consolidations and closings by Dec. 1.
Byrd-Bennett said extending the deadline will also "provide schools with the time they need to focus on preparing their students for annual ISAT tests and avoid any distractions to student learning."
On Wednesday, CPS officials said half of the district's schools are underused and nearly 140 are more than half-empty, and added that finding a way to make the best use of buildings will play a key role in deciding what schools to close or consolidate.
Last year, the district's guidelines for closings focused on academically failing schools.
Sources have said up to 120 schools could be closed, but Byrd-Bennett has said no hard number exists. She has acknowledged that convincing community residents to accept any school closings will be difficult, partly because of the low regard so many have for CPS.
The Chicago Teachers Union said later Friday it opposes any extension and that "the only announcement that makes sense on Dec. 1 is 'There will be no school closings this year.' "
CTU chief Karen Lewis said the union has called for a moratorium on closings "until we have an analysis of the devastating impact these actions have on our students and neighborhoods.
"CPS owes Chicago a legitimate fiscal plan that details how we build and support school communities," Lewis added. "Taxpayers deserve stability on Clark Street and an end to the revolving door that has created chaos in our school system. They should not change the law because they have a change in leadership."
"Where's the logic of going on a new school spree at the same time they're telling us there's too many schools?" asked CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey.
Sharkey later told protesters at City Hall that the school system should stick to the Dec. 1 deadline.
"March is much too late," he said.
Protesters remained at City Hall late into the evening until they were arrested. They demanded a meeting with Emanuel. "Several" people were arrested, police said.
Tribune reporter Naomi Nix contributed.
