Ruth Phillips wins award for Museum Pieces: Toward the Indigenization of Canadian Museums
Carleton University’s Ruth Phillips was awarded the $7,500 Ottawa Book Award in non-fiction for her book Museum Pieces: Toward the Indigenization of Canadian Museums. The book analyzes the important questions of indigenous representation in Canadian museums over the past four decades. As a manifesto that calls on readers to re-imagine the museum as a place to embrace global interconnectedness, Museum Pieces emphasizes the transformative power of museum controversy and analyzes, shifting ideas about art, authenticity, and power in the modern museum.
“I wrote Museum Pieces to draw attention to the epochal changes and reforms Canadian museums have achieved since the 1980s,” said Phillips. “Our new practices of collaboration have made us more capable of addressing cultural diversity and the different ways in which people understand history and identity. They have also made us world leaders; people in other countries have looked to Canadian museums for models as they grapple with their issues of diversity.”
Drawing on her four decades as curator, historian, educator, director and critic, Phillips pulls back the curtain from First Peoples’ exhibitions, inviting discussion and debate, skillfully weaving her own lifetime of curatorial and theoretical work through Canadian, First Peoples and museum history. Her critical essays provide new ways of seeing the tension in the use and abuse of language, symbols, artifacts and voice in the museum environment. The collection has a deep personal significance for Phillips, revealing the progress and evolution of her career. This book grapples with the complexities of the past that are echoing in the present.
“With the changes coming to the Canadian Museum of Civilization, it is important to keep this history in mind so that we can build on its achievements and make museums places that affirm diversity and foster dialogue.” said Phillips. “I am really thrilled that Museum Pieces has been recognized by the Ottawa Book Award because living in this city and teaching at Carleton have provided me with opportunities to study museums that would be hard to match anywhere else.“
The Ottawa Book Award in non-fiction is awarded for outstanding published works of non-fiction, including biographies, memoirs, cultural histories, literary journalism and essays. The Ottawa Book Awards and Prix du livre d’Ottawa recognize the top English and French books published in the previous year. Both awards have separate categories for fiction and non-fiction. All shortlisted finalists receive $1,000 and each winner receives a prize of $7,500.
Phillips holds a Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture and is Professor of Art History in the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, and Culture at Carleton University. A former director of the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, she has researched and written on critical museology and the arts of Africa and Indigenous North America.

James Arthur hits back at Will.i.am
London: James Arthur, winner of 2012`s ‘The X Factor’, has hit back at musicians Will.i.am and Danny O`Donoghue for referring to him as nobody.
Will.i.am and Donoghue, who are once again part of the judging panel for the current series of "The Voice" in Britain, said they had never heard of Arthur, who auditioned for the show before going on to win "The X Factor" last year.
"Who`s James Arthur? He was the dude keeping you off the top spot for weeks," Arthur tweeted as a mark of hitting back at the duo, reports thesun.co.uk.

EIT's council chairwoman has claimed it would have drifted into "the red" if a merger of the country's polytechnics did not go ahead.
Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced at the beginning of August that the country's 16 polytechnics and institutes of technology will be disestablished and merged into one national institute.
EIT, the Hawke's Bay region's institute, has consistently prided itself on its financial stability, and strong surplus figures.
But its council chairwoman Geraldine Travers has revealed that the future might not have been so bright.

Italy 'close to end game', says economist Roger Bootle
Mario Monti is starting work to form a new government to lead Italy out of its acute debt crisis.
But interest rates on Italian debt in the past weeks have been trading in the same way that rates on Greek and Irish debt were trading before those countries were forced to seek a financial rescue - so is a bailout for Italy inevitable?
For BBC World Service's World Business Report, Manuela Saragosa asked the respected economist Roger Bootle whether Italy would have to be rescued, or whether it was even possible to bail out Italy:
Full transcript below:
Roger Bootle: There could potentially be an enlarged fund to bail Italy out, but it would have to be substantially enlarged from what's been on offer so far. Of course we haven't heard any details about the expansion of EFSF supposedly.
Manuela Saragosa: That's the Financial Stability Facility, the bailout fund.
Roger Bootle: Exactly. That was agreed at the recent summit, but we have had no flesh put on those bones at all. It is possible for the ECB to step up purchases of Italian bonds in the market.
It has already got apparently about €100bn (£85bn) worth, but we all know what the problems to that are.
There is the limited resources of the ECB, there are the legal restrictions in Germany. There is the interpretation of what the ECB itself is legally allowed to do. So, in practice, I think we are coming to a very difficult point.
Manuela Saragosa: If Italy does need a rescue package, where is all that money going to come from because we are talking trillions really, aren't we?
Roger Bootle: Well, it could come from all sorts of places and I think that if there were a rescue package put together with a credible austerity plan, then you could imagine market confidence reviving the bond yields falling and effectively the private sector putting up the money to fund the Italian deficit and refinancing burden.
Manuela Saragosa: But that's what was supposed to have happened in Greece and that has happened in Greece. I mean why should it happen to Italy when it hasn't even - they haven't even been able to get it together for Greece?
Roger Bootle: I don't think it is going to happen. I am the arch eurosceptic. I have been the one who have been saying for ever this thing is going to fold and I have been saying right from the beginning that I thought Italy was the most vulnerable country.
It's not a technical problem as it's possible technically to solve Italy's problem. The question is political will and the distribution of pain and benefit. Can you imagine a deal that's going to enable other European countries to put forward the money, to put that at risk to bail Italy out of its difficulties? I find that very difficult to imagine.
Manuela Saragosa: Okay. So should Italy leave the euro then?
Roger Bootle: I think that there is a pretty high possibility now that Italy will end up leaving the euro, but it's not going to happen immediately. We are going to see I'm sure a repeat of what we have seen over recent months and years, that's to say more fudge and mudge.
There will be some other summit, there will be some attempt at a deal, something will be put forward as a solution and will turn out not to be, maybe outside the euro group there will be more non-euro zone money available; something from the IMF perhaps.
I suspect this will run and really Italy won't default immediately or leave the euro. This is going to last weeks or months, but I suspect we are coming very close to the end game.

The two sides got together at the NHL offices in Manhattan at 1:30 this afternoon and things ended less-than amicably.
Renaud Lavoie from RDS hears from NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr that there was “discussion for 60 minutes on players contracting. I don’t know when we’ll get back together.”
Even more ominously, Katie Strang of ESPN.com reports Fehr doesn’t currently “see a path to an agreement” when it comes to the contracting issues. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly tells Pierre LeBrun there was “no progress” in today’s talks.
Meanwhile, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman reportedly said during the meeting that “we’re past the point of give-and-take.” With an already shortened season and the Winter Classic being canceled, the amount of revenue they’re arguing about for this season is disappearing quickly.
Fehr tells Michael Grange of Sportsnet that Bettman expects the players to accept their deal “to the comma.” So much for compromise.
If you’re looking for a slight upside to all this, Fehr tells Strang “it won’t be too long” before the two sides meet again and that the players’ association would like to move talks back to Toronto.
For now, both Bettman and Bill Daly will head to Toronto for the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. That shouldn’t be too distracting.

Unplugged Manics still strike a chord with diehard fans
Legendary Welsh rock band the Manic Street Preachers will be performing at the Colston Hall in Bristol on Monday, September 23.
The three-piece, whose hits include You Love Us, A Design For Life and You Stole the Sun From My Heart, are touring the UK in support of their eleventh studio album Rewind the Film, their first major release in almost three years.
The album is the first of two new works to be released over the coming months and, with the absence of electric guitars, marks a significant departure from the band's traditional sound. Described by front man James Dean Bradfield as "atmospheric" and "cinematic", Rewind the Film features guest contributions from fellow Welsh musician Cate Le Bon, singer Lucy Rose and revered songwriter Richard Hawley.

The current six-date tour, which also sees the Manics perform in London and Manchester before finishing in Glasgow, will be their first in the UK since the end of 2011 and will see them play Bristol for the first time in nearly three years.
The band have a reputation for showmanship and their live sets are regarded as among the most entertaining around, with bass player Nicky Wire's androgynous image and costumes becoming increasingly flamboyant in recent years.
The group, originally from Blackwood in South Wales, enjoyed the height of their success in the late Nineties, with a string of albums earning them both commercial success and critical acclaim. The 1996 album Everything Must Go and 1998's This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours were the band's biggest commercial successes, the latter reaching number one in the UK album chart upon its release.
The band's songs were internationally recognised for their strong political themes, intellectual sensibility and anti-establishment stance, as well as their aggressive guitar style, which took influence from classic rock and punk bands like The Clash and The Jam.
The tragic disappearance of fourth band member Richey Edwards in 1995 became a defining moment in rock history and contributed to the legacy of the band over the following years.
Rhythm guitarist and lyricist Edwards had been struggling with severe depression, alcoholism and self-harm during the recording of the band's 1994 album The Holy Bible which, in the light of his disappearance, has been viewed as a reflection of his deteriorating condition.
The Manics continued on without the iconic Edwards and enjoyed their most successful period immediately following his absence. The guitarist was declared 'missing presumed dead' in 2008, inspiring the album Journal For Plague Lovers, for which the lyrics comprised entirely Edwards' unfinished notes.
A determination to remain relevant has driven the group throughout the last decade as their commercial appeal waned. Although dismissed as unfashionable, their albums have remained consistently strong and a core of devoted fans has stuck with them for the best part of 30 years.
Rewind the Film is released on Monday, September 16.


The SS William Grayson, an EC2-S-C1 class Liberty ship was built by the United States Maritime Commission within 60 days during World War II. After the launch on August 31, 1942, the ship was sold to several private owners after the war and was finally scrapped in 1968. During World War II, the SS William Grayson had participated in 32 convoys that supplied the war efforts. The construction and repair of Liberty ships relied extensively on asbestos-containing products. Boiler and steam pipe insulation, fireproofing material for bulkheads, brake linings in winches, and gaskets of valves and pipe fixtures are the common asbestos products that were used on Liberty ships. Between the early 1930s until the middle of the 1970s, avoiding asbestos aboard a US Navy ship or other big marine vessel was virtually impossible. Asbestos was utilized in almost every section of a ship, from the boiler room to the sleeping quarters, due to its resistance to heat and fire. The high levels of asbestos onboard ships harmed not just those who went to sea, but also those who constructed and maintained ships in our country's shipyards.

The Roskamp Institute Red Tide Study started in 2020 and is currently made up of 250 volunteers from our local community. Fortunately, for purposes of the study, we were able to begin collecting samples of blood and saliva from these participants outside of an active red tide bloom. Now that we’re involved in a rolling outbreak up and down the Florida gulf coast, we are again taking biological samples of blood and urine and measuring antibody levels – that is, the level of antibodies produced to fight the neurotoxin specific to red tide called brevetoxin.
We know there are two types of antibodies: antibodies that are neutralizing, which is what most most antibodies do, but then there are other antibodies that can actually cause disease, including central nervous system disease and brain diseases. The driver of our red tide study was a previous study by a group of scientists from the Department of Health, the Department of Environmental Protection, and universities in Florida that showed there was an excess of ER admissions for neurological disorders such as migraine headaches when the red tide algae blooms. Our study seeks to answer the question, do higher levels of antibody correlate with worsening of neurological symptoms or the remission of neurological signs and symptoms? In other words, if we have high levels of antibodies, do they protect us against the neurological complications of red tide or do they actually precipitate them?
To date, we have made significant progress in sample collection and analysis, but are still in the very early stages of the study. One surprising discovery has been that some participants had high brevetoxin antibody levels, even though they hadn’t been around a red tide outbreak for six months, while all the others had very low levels. So this is one new aspect we are now interested in, specifically the drop off in antibodies in some and not others. Because of this difference, we need to bring into the study people who have been living farther inland and not exposed to red tide as a control group.


Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices have been under pressure in 2022, with traders feeling the effects of a series of major industry meltdowns.
Selim Korkutata | Anadolu Agency | Getty Images
Bitcoin jumped above $22,000 on Monday, hitting its highest level in more than a month, as the cryptocurrency market harbored hopes that the contagion and market shakeout of the past few weeks is nearing its end.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading at $22,135.30 as of 8:57 a.m. ET, according to CoinDesk data, up around 4%. Bitcoin has traded as high as $22,493.61 over the past 24 hours, its highest level since June 16.
Other cryptocurrencies also rallied, with Ether up more than 9% from its price 24 hours ago and Polygon’s MATIC token up 16%.
The bullish sentiment was supported by a rally in equity markets in Europe and Asia. US stock futures were also higher. Cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, are closely correlated with stock market trading. Oftentimes, a surge in stocks will lift sentiment in the crypto market as well.
But investors are also watching to see if the carnage of the past few weeks, which has seen Bitcoin fall almost 70% from its all-time high reached in November and wiped billions of dollars from the market, could be over.
The price drop has brought the demise of several high-profile companies in the industry, most notably hedge fund Three Arrows Capital and crypto lender Celsius, both of which have filed for bankruptcy.
These collapses have spread contagion across the industry and have caused other related companies to come under pressure.
Much of this has been caused by the huge leverage and borrowing that has taken place in this last crypto cycle. Three Arrows Capital, for example, took out loans it couldn’t repay after the crypto meltdown. Celsius, which offered customers over 18% returns on depositing their digital coins, took on high-risk trading activities to earn the interest it was trying to return to its users.
Crypto companies have sold whatever assets they have to try to meet their liabilities, which has pressured the broader market.
Analysts say there are signs this contagion may be slowing.
“The market’s worst contagion is probably over, with the bulk of the forced selling behind us,” CryptoCompare research analyst David Moreno wrote in a research note.
Despite the rally, the crypto market is still suffering. Both bitcoin and ether are down more than 50% this year. Bitcoin’s second quarter was its worst quarter in more than a decade.
Analysts are still not convinced of any significant move higher in the near term.
“In view of the strongly negative performance in the second quarter, it is not surprising that there was a ‘leap of relief’. We believe the market will remain range bound in the coming months,” Moreno said.

20 Sep REVIEW: Garufood Black Sesame Whole Food Shake
Garufood is a whole-food, plant-based shake which was waiting for me upon returning home from a trip to Nova Scotia.
A blessing when your fridge and cupboards are empty after a week of travel.
The first thing that struck me was the packaging, which is modern, sleek and has a matt finish.
This was the 30g single serving of Black Sesame. Their first flavor to market.
I gave these a test drive for two weeks every couple days in the mornings after the gym.
On an average day I fast until 10 am, have something light to eat, then I have a larger meal for lunch where I load up on healthy carbs and greens.
So these were perfect for that 10 am meal and it had a smooth (not chalky) texture plus a nutty flavor caused by the black sesame which I really enjoy.
I tried them on their own with water, then on their own with a plant-based milk.
While I liked it on its own without any extras, I’m also obsessed with peanut butter and banana, so I started tossing it all in my bullet.
1 Package Garu Black Sesame
1 Cup of Plant-Based Milk or Water
1 TBSP Peanut Butter
What I appreciate most about Garu is that it is not a supplement or an isolate, it is a whole-food, plant-based shake that is quite literally, powdered food.
It has some interesting ingredients as well! Such as black mouse eye bean and sea asparagus.
Don’t get to say that too often.
I had to know more.
I caught up with the founders of Garufood Stephen and Kris to find out more about their product!
Hello Kris! So what makes Garu different from other powdered nutritional shakes?
We focus on quality over quantity and believe nutrition from whole-food is best. Garu is food, not a supplement.
Not only that, it’s a balanced nutrition with all essential amino acids, complex carbohydrates and healthy fat like omega 3 and 6, it also contains phytonutrients, fibre, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron etc as a result.
Per 30g serving
8 grams of complete protein with all essential amino acids
16 grams of carbohydrate
4.5 grams of healthy fat (omega 3 & 6)
100% sprouted seeds and greens
15% DV of fibre
10% DV of iron
20+ vitamins and minerals
Free of: dairy, soy, preservatives, artificial flavours, preservatives, gluten, GMO, added sugar or stevia
Tell us more about the black mouse eye bean. I don’t believe I’ve heard of it before.
Black mouse eye bean is from Korea and is also the ingredient which makes it possible for Garu to contain such a high protein content for a 30g pack.
Vit B1 0.32mg
Vit B2 0.24mg
Vit B3 2.20mg
Vit B6 0.54mg
Vit E 0.83mg
I see sustainability is something you take seriously. How did you incorporate sustainability into your farming and manufacturing processes?
We believe sustainable nutrition includes every process from farming to manufacturing to consumption, in one cycle. All the ingredients in Garu Black are contract cultivated from small farms that practice sustainable farming.
All our ingredients are certified origin, minimizing the eco-footprint as much as possible. Our simple process of soaking, sprouting, steaming, roasting and drying use only heat and water, no chemical processing involved.
Our main protein sources are pulses that are the most sustainable protein on earth. Pulses are not only using less water and producing less Co2 than animal protein but also they put nitrogen back into soils and improve soil quality!
Where can people get your products in Toronto?
We are in the process of retail launch in Toronto and hopefully, we can announce retailers soon. Currently, you can buy Garu Black online at garufood.com
Ok, thanks for the info!
So there you have it, the story of Garu.
I’ve tried it and it’s a tasty little product, with a sustainable, and healthy vision which I support.
I like their whole-food approach and I’m looking forward to trying new products from them once they’re available!
See you at the next meal.

The Guardian reports conservationists said animals were eerily still as they tried to shelter from the heat. Experts fear that record-breaking temperatures could cause a further collapse in insect numbers, with bumblebees and butterflies among those most affected.
iNEWS exclusively report that adult butterflies survive the heat by seeking shade, but young caterpillars could be left scorched and starving, conservationists warn.
BBC News reprots people are being encouraged to count the number of butterflies they see over the next three weeks – as part of efforts to protect them from extinction.
BBC News reports ticks have become a year-round threat because of climate change, experts have warned. Lyme disease, a bacterial infection which causes a range of health problems, can be spread to humans from some tick bites.
The Daily Telegraph reports dwindling sightings of the insects mean people are being encouraged ‘rewild’ their garden by leaving parts of it for nature. A poll of over 2,000 people by BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine found that 54 per cent of people had created an “uncultivated area” in their garden last year, up 11 per cent on the year before.
Kate Bradbury, wildlife editor at the magazine, said gardeners keen to help boost butterflies could also resist the urge to clear up dead leaves or cut back dead stems from which chrysalides might be hanging.
The Guardian reports many urban gardens rich in pollinator-friendly plants and provide food all year round, find Bristol researchers.
The New Scientist reports the oak processionary moth (OPM), an invasive species in northern Europe with caterpillars that are toxic to humans and other animals, expanded its range at an increased speed in the years following its arrival in the UK, despite government efforts to contain it.
The BBC reports dragonflies are moving northwards across Britain and Ireland as temperatures rise. More than 40% of species have increased their distribution since 1970, while only about 10% have declined, according to a new report.
Experts from the British Dragonfly Society say it’s an indicator of the effects of climate change. There is concern over the loss of populations of insects due to factors such as pollution and habitat loss.
The BBC reports scientists say light pollution may be contributing to “worrying” declines in insects seen in recent decades. In a UK study, artificial street lights were found to disrupt the behaviour of nocturnal moths, reducing caterpillars numbers by half.
Modern LED streetlights appeared to have the biggest impact. There is growing evidence that insect populations are shrinking due to the likes of climate change, habitat loss and pesticides. Factors are complex and varied, including the steady loss of forests, heathlands, meadows and marshes, overuse of pesticides, climate change and pollution of rivers and lakes.

This study examined whether people who self-reported depression sought mental health treatment in the year after being interviewed, and how gender affected utilization. Depression data were obtained from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2000-01), and linked to medical records in Ontario (n = 24,677). Overall, women had higher rates of mental health service utilization, but there were no gender differences in rates of specialist care. The gender difference in mental health contact was greater for those without depression, as opposed to those with depression. Among those without depression, women were significantly more likely than men to use mental health services; however, rates were similar for women and men with depression. This finding suggests that men may be more likely than women to delay seeing a doctor for minor mental health concerns, but will seek help once a problem reaches a threshold.

ran edlebrocks then switched to bilstein HD and the ride was awesome. Not quite like a caddy but way better than edlebrock or the stock shocks. I also ran the royal velvet shackles and had Michelin LTX M/S tires

It will ride a little stiffer. It does not bother me but my wife likes the car feel to it without the lift. She is a little picky. You can get 3 inches out of the lift keys but you should only go 2 inches to keep a good ride ( 2 inches will be with the bolts all the way out (down on the block). You can get them on ebay for around $60. They are not hard to put in with a couple of 5 ton pullers. Use two pullers to crank the new key into place and then take the one off that is in the way of the key block and put the block in. Do not put your fingers in the hole. If the puller gives you will have one less finger. Drive it around and if you dont like it put the old ones back in. If you like it go get the alignment. If you use spray paint to mark the bolts on the old keys before you take them out you can put them back in and not need to re-align it.

I am curious about the ride you get with the bilstein HD shocks. Did you do anything else or just change the shocks. I have a 2006 2500 HD crew cab normal bed diesel. The ride is normally fine but If I am on a toll road or something with shorter concrete sections it starts getting bouncy when I drive above 80( I know what the speed limit is thank you) I am wondering if the shocks would help that I had the same truck configuration in a 2005 model and it did the same thing

Oct 05, 2006 (7:07 pm)
I am still using the same factory shocks but I plan on changing them out because they are a little maxed out. I am sure some day I will break them if I don't. My truck is the non HD model so you have a stiffer suspension to start with. Funny about the 80mph thing. Nice truck by the way.

Oct 06, 2006 (5:20 am)
The Bilsteins would help but you would still have that bounce over those expansion joints. It has more to do with the wheel base of the truck. The stock shocks do suck. I also replaced the shackles with velvet ride shackels and still had the bounce over expansion joints at 80.
I drove a GMC 4500 over some expansion joints last week. Talk about bounce with no load.....and I was going no where near 80.
#14 of 123 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ext cab rough ride
Oct 30, 2006 (2:50 pm)
My recently purchased Chev. Silverado 1500 ext cab two WD pickup rides rough. Unless the highway is very smooth you feel the bumps and roughness of the road more that I was expecting. The truck has the appearance of a four WD but is not. It sets higher above the frame than other Silverados I have noticed; even higher than some Z71's. It has torsion bars front suspension. On the rear it has a 2 1/4" block between the leaf springs and axle which causes the rear end to set up high. Was wondering if anyone has had the problem and if they discovered a fix for it. Also, do the torsion bars make the truck ride rougher? I thought all Silverado 1500 had coil springs at front suspension but I found out differently. Thanks for the input.
#15 of 123 Re: 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ext cab rough ride [keytonkid]
Oct 30, 2006 (5:18 pm)
Was it used when you purchased it? It sounds like someone has placed torsion bar keys in the front end. It also sounds like they cranked them down all the way leaving little room for suspension. The stock keys have a nice ride but torsion bar keys will have a stiffer ride and a very rough ride when you crank them down. I think the truck should be 2 inches lower in the front than the rear unless they changed something in 06. You might be able to tell if you look at the cross member at the rear of the the torsion bars. Look in the middle between the gap and you will see there is a large thick metal piece. The stock should be a plain black and some aftermarket are silver. Some of the aftermarket are black also. The second thing to look at are the bolts. If they are cranked all the way up someone has cranked down on them to raise the front end. The bolts should be out at least an inch or so. Take it in to an alignment shop and have them drop them back down. You will need a realignment after this or you could just jack it up and do it your self.

Oct 31, 2006 (11:54 am)
This truck was new when purchased on 09/02/2006, had 42 miles on it. Therefore, I don't believe any alternations have been done on it since GMC made it. I looked under the truck, and although I am not sure I understand where to look for the large thick metal piece you mentioned at the cross member at the rear of the torsion bars (don't see one), there doesn't appear to be any modifications made. The bolts extend out 13/16" of thread, 1 1/16" counting head. To confirm your statement, the truck is approximate 2 1/2' lower in the front than the rear. Do you suppose the 2 1/4" block between the leaf springs and rear axle (I mentioned this in my original message) could be removed, which would lower the rear to approximately the same height as the front (it would appear to me)? Or would this effect the handling of the vehicle negatively? Thanks for your input.
#17 of 123 Re: 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ext cab rough ride [keytonkid]
Oct 31, 2006 (2:18 pm)
Not sure on those rear blocks but I will bet someone will jump in with that information. The bolt you are looking at pushes up on the key between the rails of the cross member. The more you crank down on them the more front end lift you get. Some shops will crank them all the way down for you and only charge for the alignment. The truck will then be level. Problem is the truck will ride stiffer. The truck just might soften up on the ride after you put some miles on it. If not some new shocks might be the answer.

This is an answer to my own question asked in my reply dated 10/31/06 in which I asked if anyone knew if the 2 1/4" block between the leaf springs and rear axle could be removed, which would lower the rear end of the truck. This week I talked with the service manager of the dealer where I purchased this truck. He advised me would not be acceptable to remove this block; it would only cause additional problems (he did not say what kind). The conclusion I have reached concerning this truck is that I have purchased a heavy duty (this is my own description) Silverado 1500 ext. cab. two wheel drive that has a suspension like a four wheel drive (torsion bars, lift block on rear springs), that will haul a heavy load and pull a heavy trailer, a truck that is over rated for what my use of this truck is. And I did not realize this until I had purchased it, with little input from the salesman to design the purchase to my needs. Live and learn. One question I would appreciated someone's comments on is: what is the royal velvet shackles I have seen mentions in several e-mails I have read from this site and in what way do they help the rough ride. Thanks to all for your help.

Approaching this Coastal city Adelaide, it slowly was revealing & convincing me there is more to it than meets the eye. A city bursting with culture, nature and the notorious vineyard, Barossa Valley. I had 2 days in Adelaide however I decided to visit Kangaroo Island .
Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third largest island but Tasmania & Melville being the first. It is a protected island with their abundance of wildlife. Australia places high importance on protecting their wildlife . Home to sea lions, koala , species of birds and of course kangaroos.
There are 3 ways to get to the island, self drive, coach tour or fly . I chose a coach tour with Sea Link .
The tour starts by passing the lush Adelaide Hills sightings of free Kangaroos in the wild , a true delight to catch .Surrounded by pristine , raw beauty of Australia’s natural beauty completely inspiring & exciting me from the start of the tour.
The highlights for me and the must see in Kangaroo Island is Seal Bay, Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary & the Remarkable Rocks.
Seal Bay is home to a colony of seal lions that have migrated over 1000 years ago. It is only 30 years they have been protected. A popular tourist attraction, however keeping a distance of at least 10 meters from the sea lions is to be respected. You are not to feed them or make noise to get their attention. Australia does not want to domesticate them as they like to have them and not have them leave.
What a delight to see these beautiful animals basking in the sun, waddling on the sandy beach , or swim in the ocean . Keep your eyes open how the baby pups are playful and fun yet protected by the mother seal.
Seal Bay is a unique experience not to be missed.
Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary-Koala Walk
Garantee koala sighting during your stroll on the Koala Walk. Bring your binoculars or get a zoom lense to photograph them cuddled up in the Eucalyptus trees sleeping all day long. Koalas can sleep up to 20 hours a day .
Australia have decided to sterilize the koalas as they have been destroying their own habitat due to over population. This will keep them under control + reestablish back the natural environment. Get ready for overload cuteness factor.
Remarkable rocks is nature’s way of sculpting these magnificent rock formations. It is a collections of boulder rocks perched approximately 200 meters from stormy waters. It is fairly easy to walk around but be aware of the danger signs and be safe. Notice the array of orange and golden colours that rules the rocks.
The bizzare shapes and form were created over 150 million years ago from wind erosion , a true nature’s phenomenon.
I have no words to describe what you see however I hope my pictures will do justice.

Riffin’ is a free weekly video
Many of us think of open position chords as strictly fundamentals: the “cowboy chords”, if you will – and it’s true that learning to move up the neck is an important step in anyone’s development as a player. But the open position offers a wide variety of possibilities for developing creative riffs.
For starters, I want to extend our definition of “riff”: let’s define the term in this context as a signature
There are two big ideas at work here. One is that guitars sound really good in the open position, because we get so many overtones and sympathetic vibrations. And every open chord contains within it triads, scales, and multiple voicing options that take full advantage of that resonance. Remember that one of the key ideas in writing great riffs is looking for melody….and since the major and minor scales of all the open-position-friendly keys are almost equally easy to play, our possibilities are maximized with minimal effort. This is a very good thing!
Also keep in mind that a triad can be melodicized by playing it one note at a time, and possibly adding connecting scale tones. In the example I played in the video, the melody consists of a descending C triad played 5-3-1 starting with the first string high G, followed by a stepwise move from the root C up to D. The D becomes the 5 of a G chord, and the melody continues with a 4-3-1-2 move on the G (the 2nd string C leading to the open B, open G, and 2nd fret A). The A now implies the 3rd of the F chord. So here’s the melody, phrased “da da da da (beat) da da da da (beat):
G – E – C – D ________ C – B – G – A
and so on. Again, note the opening C triad, the stepwise C-D-C-B that follows, and the B-G partial arpeggio followed by another stepwise move up to A to signal the change to the F harmony.
Now, I improvised that part and wasn’t thinking in those terms when I played it. But you can see how some of the different elements we’ve explored in previous blogs are being combined to create the overall effect, and I could have applied the process consciously as well. This is useful when you’re looking for that killer idea and pure inspiration isn’t doing the trick. You need tools and techniques, which is exactly what this series is all about.
The other big concept is a new one and has tremendous power and possibility. Listening to that improvised part again, you’ll notice that before the melody begins I play a C arpeggio starting from the low C on the 5th string 3rd fret, just following the shape across strings 5-4-3. This creates an accompaniment, a background that supports the melody. The same idea is applied to the G and F chords. So within the simple and familiar C, G, and F chords, we can find both melody and accompaniment without playing anything particularly challenging. And this idea of learning to separate melody and accompaniment on
So to sum up, what we’ve done here is taken something very simple – our basic building blocks of chord and scale – and applied a few simple musical concepts to create something much more sophisticated that is still simple to play and hooky enough for the listener to remember. That is, of course, often our ultimate goal – to write not just a killer

Following the earlier news that Ric Flair requested and was granted his WWE release today, there's now an update on what led to the Nature Boy's latest departure from Vince McMahon's sports entertainment behemoth.
As per Fightful Select, Flair reportedly contacted Vince directly to ask for his release after becoming frustrated with certain creative booking decisions on WWE TV.
Of course, the 16-time World Champion was involved in an awful storyline with Lacey Evans earlier this year. While Flair hasn't been featured on WWE programming since that storyline was canned when Evans legitimately became pregnant (not by Flair - Woooooo!), he hasn't been shy about slamming that entire situation during media appearances.
It was only this past May that Flair told Ariel Helwani how uncomfortable both he and Lacey were with this storyline, but that he himself just did it because that was what Vince McMahon wanted.
Interestingly, Fightful believes that there were actually more recent booking issues that Flair reportedly didn't like. Whether that was nixed ideas, last-minute changes, or even anything pertaining to Charlotte Flair, who knows.
As of this writing, neither Ric Flair nor WWE have yet to comment on Flair's exit from the company.

Can Alopecia and CBD Reduce Hair Loss?
Can Alopecia and CBD Reduce Hair Loss?
HEM MACA AND CBD OIL Benefits The plant compound known as “hemp” or “cannabidol,” also called “cannabis,” contains the chemical component delta-9-THP. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is derived from the hemp plants as well; the only parts of these plants where cannabidiol is found in the leaves, stems and flowers. Unlike THC which is derived from marijuana, CBD is derived from the cannabis plant. Thus, the CBD is different from marijuana and is also different from THC. Hemp CBD oil, on the other hand, is different from CBD and is derived from the cannabis plant only.
While there are many people who believe that cannabis is good for some people, many people around the world believe that it should be completely legalized. In addition, they do not mind if other people smoke pot because smoking pot is also illegal. As a result, CBD has become very popular in many places such as on college campuses.
The first time I heard about Alopecia and CBD was through internet research. In fact, there are many articles online discussing this topic, and there are even forums where people discuss products that have been used to treat this condition, including Alopecia and CBD oils. The main focus of these discussions is whether or not these oils can help people with Alopecia. They also discuss the benefits and possible side effects of using these products. However, after reviewing several studies that have been done on Alopecia and CBD, I found that there is no evidence to suggest that these oils are effective at treating this condition.
Let me start by telling you what Alopecia is. It is a condition where there are noticeable hair loss on the head, particularly on the forehead and on the chest area. Some people who have Alopecia have never noticed the hair loss on their scalp, while other people notice it on both the scalp and on their chest. It usually starts as an area on the forehead or a lump underneath the hairline. Sometimes the gang will be white, but more often it will be dark red. If you have noticed that your forehead, chest or back of your head is starting to droop, then chances are you have Alopecia.
However, Alopecia and CBD oil are different from cannabis because it cannot be derived from the cannabis plant. Therefore, Alopecia is primarily metabolized by what we call enzymes in the human body. The enzymes that are involved in metabolizing Alopecia and CBD oil are present in many people, especially people who consume cannabis regularly. Additionally, there are many people who take CBD oil in capsule form. This means that Alopecia and CBD can be treated very effectively with the right supplement.
The reason why people believe that Alopecia and CBD oil are so effective is because they have gotten results from their prior use. People who have used both Alopecia and CBD have noticed that it helps to reduce the amount of hair falling out when they get their first appointment. In addition, many people notice that their hair is growing back thicker than normal on the first day of treatment. Therefore, it can be concluded that Alopecia and CBD hemp extract work together to treat hair loss and the subsequent hair re-growth process.
Many people do not realize that Alopecia and CBD oils are different from cannabis because it is legal in most countries to use both marijuana and CBD oils without fear of arrest. In contrast, there is no federal law enforcing the use of Alopecia and CBD oils for treating anything other than the hair loss that they are meant to treat. Therefore, Alopecia and CBD can be used as an alternative to combat the hair loss condition, which is known as Androgenetic Alopecia.
It is important for individuals to realize that Alopecia and CBD are two different products, which should not be confused with one another. Alopecia can come from many different causes, which includes genetics, stress, chemotherapy, and many people even lose their hair due to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals. However, when people use Alopecia and CBD, it does not refer to losing all their hair. Instead, Alopecia and CBD oils are usually used to treat people who have experienced certain types of hair loss. So, if you suffer from Alopecia and are wondering if Alopecia and CBD can help you, then the answer is yes.

Wall Street is notorious for putting analysts (or any individual) on a pedestal when they make a prediction that happens to be correct. As quickly as their ‘celebrity status’ is awarded it is often just as quickly taken away! The recent downfall of Meredith Whitney offers a lesson that everyone can learn from.
Whitney was awarded her ‘star status’ the fall of 2007 when she made a bearish prediction on Citigroup (C) as an analyst at Oppenheimer. Shortly after she made her call the stock tumbled and the CEO, Charles Swift, resigned. She was credited with predicting the financial crisis that followed in 2008 and became a regular with the business media. With her ‘celebrity status’ she resigned from Oppenheimer in 2009 to form her own firm focused on research and hedge fund management.
It did not take long for her shining star to become tarnished as she missed on several predictions that Wall Street followed her on. She called for municipal bonds around the country to default in 2010 and then in 2013 for the central U.S. to flourish economically while both coasts would struggle. Neither came anywhere close to becoming a reality and Whitney found herself struggling to regain the notoriety that she once enjoyed.

Continuing the amazing list of personal games that touch on difficult subjects comes this Twine game called "What's in a Name?" It's about how someone learns they are bisexual, only to second-guess themselves because some folks in the LGBT community aren't accepting of that sexuality. The idea is that you're either straight, or you're gay. That's it.
This is all so new to you and you marvel at what you've found. It's actually kind of beautiful, knowing that you could potentially find love with either gender. And now that you FINALLY know who you are, it's time to find your place in the LGBT community. Time to find your place in the place you know is yours.
What she finds is that people look down on bisexuals, using 'logic' that dictates that it's probably just lesbians who want to maintain heterosexual privilege (amongst other things.)
Even if that situation doesn't apply to you, the game is still touching: it's heartbreaking to see someone struggle with their identity because others reject who you are. The purpose of the game is to let you into that struggle, but if you happen to be dealing with something similar, then perhaps the game can help you come to terms with your issues too.
And since it's a Twine game—meaning, it plays kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure book—anyone can play it. Try out Gaming Pixie's What's in a name? here. It won't take more than ten minutes and it'll be worth it.
Finally: of course this game doesn't speak for all bisexual experiences. But it's a common one that many people do face.
