Fantastic Product
Just can't say enough good things about this. Used to buy competitor's brand at MUCH higher price, but NOW brand works equally as well at a fraction of the cost.
Excellent product and lowest price I found
I used the leading brand of this product (Ultimate Flora) at 50-100 billion strength daily until I found this product at a much lower price, and it works just as well! In fact, it works so well that after using the higher strengths for several months, my digestive system had improved so much that I only need 25 billion now. Unfortunately, I goofed and bought the 50 billion before I realized that, and had to exchange the unopened bottles for the 25 billion strength, but that was a small price to pay for my mistake. The kind people at ProbioticSmart gave me a quick refund! I highly recommend this product, at any strength!!

Music Review: Little-known but most rewardingMONTREAL — Music lovers have grown comfortable with the masterpieces described as "war horses" or "chestnuts," but those "greatest hits" amount to a small fraction of great works in the repertoire.
Musica Camerata Montréal is now in its 43rd season of introducing audiences to music they didn't know they loved — yet. Sunday's concert at the Segal Centre introduced outstanding works by little-known composers and a couple of little-known works by well-known composers.
Perhaps the most profound, and certainly the most intriguing, work was written by a Quebec composer. Despite only two movements, the 1942 Piano Quintet by Rodolphe Mathieu (1890-1962) is a large-scale work.
The opening Larghetto, with its mildly discordant harmonic language, is deep, dark and beautiful, and introduces the scherzo-like Allegro, a lighter but no less harmonically challenging journey. It felt almost like Mahler with a French, or French Canadian, accent.
Camerata is led by Artistic Director Luis Grinhauz, assistant concertmaster of the Montreal Symphony, and his wife, Berta Rosenohl, a pianist of great clarity and deep musicality. Grinhauz, who plays with a lush singing sound and deep expressiveness, was matched in this work, indeed in all of Sunday's performances, by fellow members of the Montreal Symphony: violinist Van Armenian, violist Lambert Chen and cellist Sylvain Murray.
The major work was the much more modern-sounding 1953 Piano Quintet in D Major by the Finnish Joonas Kokkonen (1921-1996). Although still tonal, the stark harmonic language and drive give it a cutting-edge feel, save for the dark and lush Adagio. The Camerata players were clearly comfortable with this music — and made their audience comfortable as well.
Much more familiar in style, but seldom performed, was Luigi Boccherini's Piano Quintet in C Major, Opus 57, a most charming and very Classical work by this Mozart contemporary. The string players' rich lyricism was complemented by Rosenohl's virtuosic clarity in this most intimate performance.
Even more intimate was Franz Schubert's one-movement String Trio in B-flat Major, D. 471. Grinhauz, Chen and Murray played with an expressiveness and sensitivity that made their songful performance a joy.
Musica Camerata Montréal consistently delivered expert and musically sensitive performances that revealed the greatness in these unusual works. For its final concert of the 2012-2013 season, May 12, the ensemble will return to "war horses" by J.S. Bach, Mozart and Gabriel Fauré.
Musica Camerata Montréal
Musica Camerata Montréal, for its final concert of the 2012-2013 season, will perform works of J.S. Bach, Mozart and Fauré at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 12, at the Segal Centre, 5170 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine in Montreal.

John in NM
I have been riding motorcycles for about 25 years and have had several different brands and types of helmets. When I rode street bikes, and to this day, the most comfortable helmet I'd ever had was the Arai Quantum/e - this helmet definitely rivals that helmet in fit and quality. It's feels slightly tight going on (which lessens as it breaks in), but once it's on, it just fits your head and face very well. I wear a large in every helmet I've worn as an adult, and a large size for this helmet fits perfectly. Two great things about this model: it's EXTREMELY light, and the pads are really easy to remove and wash. Plus, it is a great looking helmet. Plenty of room for goggles, and the way it's molded around the sides and back helps keep the goggle strap in place. The vents are OK - not excellent - I've worn helmets where you can really feel the vents working, the ones on this helmet end up at about a 7/10 for me. But riding dirtbikes is hard work if you're doing it right, and you're going to sweat in your helmet. Everything else about this helmet is a 10/10 for me - I love it, would highly recommend it, and will look to HJC again when the need for a new helmet arises.

Ah, Friday. How I'd love to sleep right through you, knowing as I do that no one can take you away from me.
My energy levels have just been crappy this week. But whatever, it's the weekend and I'm cool with it. No major plans - the girls come back home on Saturday so I'm not sure what kind of plans I can make anyway, only to have them demolished by the estrogen crowd that is my house. That's ok too.
I just want to chill. It's the last weekend in July and I have no worries. Or at least, the energy to care about the ones I do have.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students People wanted to become Pastors, more knowledgeable in Christian related studies.
Tips for prospective students Come to NBC for Ministerial Preparation
Did enjoy being here Great online college for adults seeking ministerial preperation. Also great for younger college students who want to take courses with a Christian perspective. Very helpful and supportive staff. Highly recommended!

1 out of 1 people found this review useful. 2 of 9
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who are non-traditional and seeking to go into ministry is where NBC is focused, but they can fully accommodate and easily meet the needs of tradition students who are seeking degrees in various ministries as traditional students. The online program is a great option for those who have jobs that they cannot leave.
Bang for the buck NBC offers exceptional service and learning at an affordable price compared to other similar institutions. The school keeps things simple but creative and thus does not waste a lot of money on special programs and fancy things. They are focused on delivering a great Christian education.
What to do for fun Colorado Springs has tons of things to do especially outdoors activities with the Rocky Mountains being only 15 minutes from downtown. NBC also puts on a lot of events for students through out the school year.
Food and Dining I am an online student so I don't eat there. But I know they have a cafe with food, just never been there.
Dorm Life NBC does not have dorms. I am also an online student.
Academic Rigor NBC does not have any athletic programs, thus they focus entirely on academics. They use the best resources possible for each subject and really challenge you to think for yourself while framing even secular topics with a Christian perspective. I feel I have grown a lot in knowledge and in my relationship with God in the one year I have been a student with NBC.
Tips for prospective students Take a tour, audit an online class, visit with the staff and faculty. NBC's website is also very informational, better than most, check out the programs there. You don't have to be a resident so consider taking online courses if you have reliable computer access and are disciplined.
In three sentences NBC is a great school all around. Tuition isn't very expensive for a fully accredited institution yet the instruction is exceptional. It is a small school so you can get to know everyone and also have easy access to all the faculty and staff if you need help.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Nazarene Bible is a very safe campus. The students that enroll at the college are usually trustworthy and the faculty makes sure to provide a safe learning environment.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus In the summertime, the faculty chooses twelve graduating students to represent each of the apostles. The college then holds a pre-graduation ceremony that talks about what each of the apostles did during his life with Jesus.
What to do for fun There are many options for having fun around Nazarene Bible College. Because of the mountain setting in Colorado there are always trails to hike, bike, and camp in during the summers and Slopes to ski and snowboard on during the winter.
Food and Dining The campus does not have dorms, which means there is not a cafeteria either. However, the food in the surrounding area (Colorado Springs) is fantastic. Colorado Springs has a multitude of restaurant styles; from American food to Chinese and Brazilian buffets.
Dorm Life Nazarene Bible College does not have any dorms. However, apartments in the Colorado Springs are generally inexpensive and comfortable to live in.
Academic Rigor The college runs on a trimester schedule. Classes are 11 weeks long, which means that the work load is a little heavier than average because of the shorter terms.
Tips for prospective students Apply at Nazarene Bible College!
In three sentences Nazarene Bible College provides an excellent education in a wonderful location. The environment at the college is a Godly one that encourages you to grow spiritually and academically. The faculty and staff care a deal about their students and a willing to take steps to encourage a students educational endeavors.

Categories Comments What to do for fun As far as on-campus activities I am not there to know of any, but off-campus there are plenty of places and shopping one can do for fun.
Food and Dining If this is in reference to the school, I do not know, but the area surrounding has great food and dining facilities.
Dorm Life I am putting four stars because I am assuming the dorm life is suitable, but I do not know because I am an online student.
Tips for prospective students If you are motivated, then the online learning environment is great for you because it gives you flexibility with studies and other responsibilities. The key is to stay on top of the deadlines and be sure to keep your professor abreast of any situations, they are willing to work with you. Also, no matter if you are a Nazarene or from another denomination, be open when it comes to discussions because there is a wealth of information that can and is learned from one another. It is okay to agree to disagree, but in the midst of it, it challenges you to think differently and from multiple perspectives.
In three sentences 1. Its mission and purpose are true to the courses they offer and the learning/knowledge that is gained. 2. The online learning environment of NBC has been a great tool for me to be able to get my BA and I love the format. 3. The faculty and staff are supportive.

Academic Rigor The class material is just about right. There are a few classes that have had their share of challenges but every professor is willing to go above and beyond to make sure everyone succeeds.
In three sentences Professors are extremely friendly and willing to help every student succeed. Everyone, from the administration to the faculty, has a genuine desire to assist everyone by going above and beyond. The online courses have been an invaluable part of the institution to allow the student the ability to complete the work anytime of the day without being locked into class times that do not fit into every-bodies schedule.

I thought that you all might get a laugh over this. A few years ago I wrote this prayer and posted it on the refrigerator at our farm house/deer camp. ( I stole the concept from a Rapala commercial) In the morning before we leave to go our into the woods, we all stand by the fridge and recite the prayer in our best monotone voices. Here it is.
Oh Lord,
There he is..He looks like a big one.
Please don't let me miss him.
I have never shot one this big before.
Please don't let the wind change direction.
I'll try not to get buck fever.
If I get him, I promise not to brag too much.
I will have him mounted only if my wife says that it is ok.

"...as one of the South's plantation elite, Hampton could have been effete, a spoiled brat, a wastrel and playboy, but instead he took responsibility to fight for what he believed..." Ah, thank you, Fan! Once again you found my words for me. I wanted to make that point, that he led and fought fearlessly and, if you will, "gallently" (sorry if that seems too romanticized) despite his wealth and privilege. And thank you, Susan, for all your information and insight. Joanie Last edited on Sun Mar 23rd, 2008 03:51 am by JoanieReb |

Ah, Susan, I had started to post this: I normally don't post things without looking them up and being certain, but I cain't even think of where to look to confirm this right now, so I'll just say, "I believe it was Wade Hampton whom..." and hope there is someone out there who can confirm or correct me in this: I beleive it was Wade Hampton whom saw one of his sons shot to death while they were in heated batlle. He took the time only to assign someone to take the body back to the rear before resuming battle. He then saw his other son shot but could not stop for this, and did not know until the battle was over if that son lived or died. Then I decided that I really shouldn't, I must look it up first. And immediately after cutting it, You made your very educational post, which included this statement: Hampton was named Chief of Cavalry eventually. In defense of Richmond in Oct of 1864 one son was killed and another was wounded. He was a Yankee hater the rest of his life. Thank You! Even with Google, I would've spent I-don't-know-how-long trying to find those facts - Thanks again for your very helpful and educational post. Joanie |

Joanie when I travel I make a notebook. I put everything I want to see in the notebook. I take notes on everything. It says where what when and why I want to see it. If it involves a historical person I don't know much about I look though my collection of magazines and take notes on the person. I was really lucky that time in finding this article about Hampton. It made my visit to Columbia much more interesting having the back story of why only the Hampton Preston home was still standing . Wasn't actually Wade Hampton III home, but Logan was going to burn it after he was done with it . An Ursulane Nun put a stop to that . She had a paper from Sherman saying she could have any house she wanted because the Convent had been accidently burned. The notebook also has room to write down things I find along the way. A poem about Francis Marion the Swamp Fox of Revolutionary times that was on the entrance to the grave yard where he is buried in South Carolina. People's names I meet along the way etc etc. Iam now working on my notebook for Muster and the places my friends and I will go after muster --- Savannah and St. Augustine . Susan |

Wade Hampton III was indeed one of those who put his money where his mouth was. He was one of the wealthiest planters in the entire south and he saddled up and fought -- very well -- for what he believed. ole |

You're an inspiration, Susan! Seriously. Along with everything else, to be able to pull an almost mind-boggling, but certainly not universally-known fact like this: " Wasn't actually Wade Hampton III home, but Logan was going to burn it after he was done with it . An Ursulane Nun put a stop to that . She had a paper from Sherman saying she could have any house she wanted because the Convent had been accidently burned. " out of your hat, is, to use an over-worked word, "awesome". And, these are facts not from your at-home reading, but from your travels and experience. How cool is that? Like I said, inspiring. I always want to read biographies, but, as you say, "so many books, so little time", and it is always seems more expedient and necessary to me to read historical accounts of the war or of particular battles than to read a biography. Almost like a biography is a big indulgance, can I afford it? Also, it is really important to choose a good biography, one written with insight and integrity. Just choosing the "best biography" can be overwhelming....Anyway, I end up developing my ideas of the principle players in the CW from varied accounts of the war and individual campaigns and battles. (exception - I love to read soldier's first-hand accounts, like from dairies and letters. These are usually quick reads.) I've been dying to read a biography of Wade Hampton. But I still haven't read one of Jackson, or read Grant's memoirs....sigh. So many books, so little time (we need to expand that into a theme-song for you!)....

I think I read that in Blue and Gray the one on Coumbia that I used for research on the houses I wanted to see in Columbia. I read more Biographies than anything else . I am interested more in the individual people who fought the war than the grand battles. My book group at the Drum is reading the complete memoirs of Sherman over the summer . 800 pages. People like that Nun are the people I find so interesting. Standing up to Sherman and Logan. Always knew nuns were tough. Susan |

HankC, I'm not sure that I agree with you on that one. he gave Sheridan all that he wanted in a couple of battles, and may have been the Confederacy's overall best cavalry leader in the east. Despite all of Fitz Lee's politicking during and after the war.... Joanie, Edward Longacre has a bio out on Hampton that you can pick up on Amazon pretty cheaply. I haven't read that one, but if it's like his others it will be a really good introduction to Hampton. |

I think that the number and importance of his cavalry raids are not represented above, especially those of 1862. I'm going on memory right now though - I'm working away from home without books to support me today. I believe that at first Bull-nassas, he was instrumental to Jackson's success (and thus the attainment of Stonewall's nickname, as well ). Then took one of several of his wounds to the head while over-running a Yankee artillery station and capturing some cannons. Also, I think his woundings rarely interfered with his leading and fighting; in the fighting outside of G-Burg, I believe that only his thrid or fourth wound brought him off the field. Mostly, he just dealt with them without dismounting and continued fighting. Recruiting while the Siege of Peterburg was taking place, and the Beefsteak Raid, should not be underestimated. His hand-to-hand combat abilites deserve commenting on. Well, time to wrap things up here and return home, where I can pull out some books....

I'm making a list and checking it twice of Wade III's career highlights. The Battle of Hawe's Shop didn't make HankC's list, and I just wanted to throw it out now, as I think it fits the criteria of being in a critical place at a critical time, and it also decidedly helped shape a battle/campaign. Just a couple of quotes from Wikpedia for now, addressing Hampton's withdrawl there: (Another factor was that Hampton had just received intelligence from prisoners on the location of two Union corps, which meant that his reconnaissance mission had been successfully completed.) Since the Confederates withdrew, the battle was a technical Union victory, but at a high cost. Hampton had delayed the Union advance for seven hours and General Lee received the valuable intelligence he had sought. This information caused him to shift the Army of Northern Virginia to a new blocking position at Cold Harbor. (italics mine) [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Haw's_Shop] Anyway, a general computer search for The Battle of Hawe's Shop, aka Haw's Shop, can give all the details. (Interestly, John Huff, whom fatally shot JEB Stuart about 2 weeks before, was killed there.) Last edited on Fri Mar 28th, 2008 04:06 am by JoanieReb |

Once again joining the party late, as seems more and more the trend with time such a valuable commodity at the present. Seems like enough has been said on the subject about what makes a great general great through the ages. As to the question of Generals transcending their time and place in being "great" regardless of what time they are put in, I don't think I saw what I believe to be the most important component in making this either true or untrue: Political WILL of the populance. The will of the people at home to support and/or of those same to fight is without a doubt the most important factor. So what if Ghengis was well suited to fight in Iraq if those people (in this case American citizens) are unwilling to support his methods of warfare? As bad as many American citizens react to the idea of a certain prison camp in Cuba, how much support do you think Mr. Khan would have with his "interesting" style of warfare? What about the Italians during WW2? Who knows, if their people were as ready and willing to fight as say, the Gernmans, we might be throwing Italianames into the mix with Rundstedt, Rommel, Montgomery, Patton, and Zhukov? Men like Forrest could be argued to be an anachronism of their day, a remider of warfare (in the European sense) of days past. Ironic,in that Forrest would be better suited, most likely, to warfare in the present? |

Good point, Orphan. But, like luck, can the will of the people be considered a characteristic of a general? In the days when a king also led his troops into battle, it might have been a major factor. Grant, Lee, and others could influence the will of the people only by winning. Copperheads were gaining political power in the north until the summer of '63 when the northern citizen began to notice that a victorious end was in sight. Just a thought. ole |

I think it can be measured Ole, although seemingly in only the most extreme of examples. Some generals inspire, as you say, through victory. Others, like little Mac, seemed to have a natural gift to instill pride in those under and around him. Of course, the popularity of that General was not universal, but the tangible effect he had following first Manassas is simply not up for debate. Unfortunatle for Mac, too few of those other characteristics mentioned by posters can be attributed to him. Having said that, how does one measure those with less demonstrable direct effect on others. How does one counter said effect with that of the natural frame of mind of that time period, the medias role of those times, and etc? Perhaps another with greater time and capacity than myself could shed some light on the subject-but I, like you, are at a loss in finding an answer. Your comparison to that other attribute, luck, seems, at least to me, well founded. |

You've heard of the satirical "Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel"?* Sung by the Federal soldiers, it pokes fun at six Union generals who never made it to Richmond. Caution and withdrawal seemed to be their style, especially McClellan. I've come to believe that the Committee on the Conduct of the War had a direct influence on the way the Army of the Potomac was led. The political pressure on the generals must have been enormous. Their chief goal was to avoid being defeated. The Committee knew little and cared less about the Western Theater. Halleck, Grant, Thomas, they all felt much freer to operate according to good military principles. They got better results too. Of course, you have also to consider their Confederate opponents - Pillow, Pemberton, Bragg, and JE Johnston - in evaluating the success of the Union generals. * Especially during rush hour. :=)) Widow |

Joanie, for 20 years while commuting to and from work, I crossed a street in Vienna (Fairfax County, VA) called Wade Hampton Drive. "Strange name for a street. Who was he, the developer of the neighborhood?" Now I'm retired, but I still cross Wade Hampton Drive when I go shopping. I give him a little private salute, as I've come to admire him more and more. Just finished reading Eric Wittenberg's "Glory Enough for All: Sheridan's Second Raid and the Battle of Trevilians Station." Wittenberg lost all respect for Sheridan and wrote about Hampton's brilliant deployment of his troopers during that battle. It was the biggest all-cavalry fight on the North American continent.

Widow, It is SO GOOD to see you on the board again. I thought that you had moved along in life and left us behind. You have been missed! I once checked out Eric Wittenburg's "Glory Enough for All..." from the library, and didn't have time to do anything but skim it. I regret that, and will go back and read it in detail now. Wade Hampton is So Underestimated; I think, because he was a soldier first, and not a glory-seeker. He tried to enlist as a private, but was made a colonel. (somewhat like Sherman, whom went for a lower rank than he could have been given). The stories about Wade III are every bit as exciting as those about Stuart and others, but Hamtpon preferred to do his duty than to go for the public-popularity-glory. Anyway, I'm truly glad to hear your voice here again, Joanie |

You may have never heard of Rooney Mara, but that's not going to last long. The virtually unknown actress has landed one of the most sought after roles in Hollywood today: Lisbeth Salander.
If you are asking who the hell that his, then you've probably never heard of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' or it's two counterparts published after the demise of author Stieg Larsson.
Two of the books have already been made into films in Sweden, but director David Fincher will be taking the lead with Mara and Daniel Craig starring in the English language version of the films.
Via Deadline:
"Rooney was considered Fincher's first choice in the process: the director had just helmed her in The Social Network. Closing a deal will amount to a formality, because Mara essentially agreed to terms when she and other young actresses signed on to tests that Fincher and producer Scott Rudin have conducted over the past several weeks. Her deal includes an option for two sequels that will cover The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest, the second and third books in the Millennium Trilogy by the late author Stieg Larsson. The books continue the same murder conspiracy storyline."
It is anticipated that the film will be released at Christmas time, 2011.

2010–2011 Recipient of the Ralph N. Kleps Award for Improvement in the Administration of the Courts
According to government reports, there are 23,440,000 veterans in the United States and approximately 1.7 million veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that as many as one third of the adult homeless population has served in the military and that at any given time there are as many as 130,000 homeless veterans. This population mirrors the general homeless population in that 45% suffer mental illness and 75% suffer from substance abuse problems. Veterans are not more likely to be arrested than the general population. But there are significant numbers of veterans involved with the criminal justice system, many of whom struggle with mental health and/or substance abuse illnesses. A 2000 Bureau of Justice Statistics Report found that 81% of all justice involved veterans had a substance abuse problem prior to incarceration, 35% were identified as suffering from alcohol dependency, 23% were homeless at some point in the prior year, and 25% were identified as mentally ill.
In December 2011, California courts reported that nine veterans' courts programs had been established throughout the state:
Los Angeles County Superior Court,
Orange County Superior Court (national mentor court),
Riverside County Superior Court,
San Bernardino County Superior Court,
San Diego County Superior Court,
San Mateo County Superior Court,
Santa Barbara County Superior Court
Santa Clara County Superior Court (national mentor court),
Tulare County Superior Court and
Ventura County Superior Court.
Additional veterans' court programs are expected.
Questions regarding these local programs can be directed to the courts. To contact the courts, click here.

Why didn't the Normans enforce the use of their native tongue throughout the whole of England after William the Conqueror (of Normandy) became king of England? During William's reign as king he did discouraged the use of Old English in his court and promoted the use of the French (Norman) language amongst his vassals as the feudal system was implemented. Also, it seems that Old English writing was essentially non existent for nearly 300 years after 1066 CE and replaced by "French" writing (Latin was still being used). But, the spoken language of Old English was still permitted throughout this time period? Was their no political ambition to remove the language from general use and if not, why not?
Note: It seems that Alfred the Great (King of the West Saxons 849 – 899 CE) understood the power of language and thus promoted the writing and spoken language of Old English throughout his reign.

The Extreme Closeup Desktop
I hate bugs. Specifically pesty, infesty bugs, so consider this my penance, or me trying to come to terms with it. Joergermeister's desktop is a study in how interesting soem insects can be at super-close range, but it doesn't stop him from getting some work done either. Here's how he set it up.

Opening the doors of his newest store at 30 E. 10th St. on June 21, the site of the former True Value Hardware store, Archer has reinforced his network of car parts stores to nine across Northern California.
"We closed our other (Tracy) location and moved to a bigger and better location with better parking and nicer facility in general," he said. "Remodeled the whole inside and increased our inventory. We have everything."
Operated by Archer and his wife, Charlotte, the business has been a part of the Tracy business community for nine years under his ownership. The previous owners, the Fisher family, owned it for more than 30 years and still work with Archer.
Archer said he purchased the store in Tracy because he felt Tracy had represented of his type of customer.
"It's a family community, and we thought it would be good for business, and it has been good for business," he said.
Started by his wife's father, grandfather and uncle in 1965, Archer said Monument Car Parts is now considered the largest independent auto parts store in Northern California. In addition to Tracy, he said they have stores in Vallejo, Antioch, Livermore, Pleasanton, Pacheco, San Ramon and two in Concord.
When it comes to car parts, Monument splits its customer base among wholesalers that include tire shops and automotive dealers, and average residents who are looking for parts for a do-it-yourself project.
When it comes to pricing, Archer said Monument is extremely competitive when it comes to the name brands they stock.
Monument Car Parts is open 360 days a year, he said, with hours from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
