Item #62269
The book updates the 1985 original and 1998 second edition of Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Programmed Text, and provides readers with a scheduled approach to understanding the fundamental concepts of ECT while offering practical guidance for establishing and maintaining an ECT program. Topics include the history of ECT, indications for use, patient referral and evaluation, the basics of ECT, clinical applications, anesthetics and other medications, seizure monitoring and management, ictal motor and cardiovascular response, adverse effects, and maintenance ECT. Included are detailed descriptions of recent advances including ultra-brief pulse ECT, oxygenation, muscle relaxation, and other modifications that have made this very effective treatment much safer and more acceptable to patients. Currently, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people receive ECT treatments each year in the U.S. Indications for use of ECT are for mood disorders such as major depressive disorder and mania, and thought disorders including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Indications for use in other psychiatric disorders and general medical disorders such as Parkinson's disease, which appears to respond especially well to ECT, are reviewed as well. This highly-readable manual is a must-have for the library of any clinician interested in or currently practicing ECT:
This clinical manual comprehensively explores and explains the available knowledge regarding ECT—based on extensive research over the past 70 years—in order to help potential ECT clinicians make informed choices about the development and management of their ECT program.

It also doesn't contain any GMO ingredients and has not been hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorised.
As a food supplement, coconut oil is heat stable so it can be used as a direct substitute for other oils when baking, roasting or frying.
Ideal for anyone looking for a healthy fat to cook with or looking to increase overall calorie intake.
May be used in cooking, baking, frying or smoothies.May be used in place of other oils, including butter and olive oil. You can consume up to 4 tablespoons per day.

Melts easy, very high smoking point so great for all cooking methods, brilliant fat profile. Use as cooking agent, alternative to milk/cream in teas and coffees, even high quality ingredient for asian cuisine or as quick energy boost. Wouldn't recommend as a spread/butter alternative as it's too bland.Goes Well With:Your liver and arteries.
Coco fuel

Great tasting product also goes a long way had this for about a fortnight and barely made a dent in the amount. Great source of saturated fat perfect to cook with and will continue to keep buying this product.
Coconut oil
- (13 / Jun / 2014)
Great tasting coconut oil and really good value
Great for making protein pancakes
And putting on rice , oats ,and over sweet potatos
Will buy again many thanks
- (25 / May / 2014)
Amazing product! I use coconut oil daily, fry food in it, put in my coffee etc, and I will definitely buy this again!
The only issue I have with this is not the product, but the packaging. There is a metal film to peel back on opening, and I couldn't seem to get this off the edge on top of the tub. This is a problem because I sometimes want my coconut oil melted so I microwave the tub to melt it. Can't do that with metal still on the tub.
I will buy this product again regardless, because coconut oil is so epic, and the packaging doesn't really affect the product. I'm just being picky. ;)Goes Well With:Coffee!
Great product
- (28 / Apr / 2014)
Tastes and smells great. Needs to be melted in boiling water if you want to add it to a shake. Good for cooking too. Another great product from MP.Goes Well With:Whey shakes
not like your average coconut fat from the supermarket
- (20 / Apr / 2014)
way better than coconut fat from the supermarket. its virgin OIL.
taste is great! coconutty. chicken fried in this is heavenly
Goes Well With:chicken :)
- (07 / Apr / 2014)
Smooth clean taste. Excellent to cook with as an alternative to normal oils. Healthy and tastes great!Goes Well With:Stir fry, great for making low carb, healthy desserts.
- (27 / Mar / 2014)
I use this coconut oil as part of my diet plan and it goes very well in cooking. I have a spoonful goes in my porridge every morning and in a muffin mix. Goes Well With:Porridge, cake mix and cooking.
great taste
- (17 / Mar / 2014)
Thought would give the Myprotein coconut oil a go to see what it tasted like. It's nice, I cook with it and add it to porridge for some extra creaminess.
would definitely recommend.Goes Well With:Steamed veges
- (20 / Feb / 2014)
This is the best coconut butter I've found. Tastes great, brilliant in both sweet and savoury cooking.Goes Well With:Thai curries and baking

Great value and great tasteing coconut oil great for cooking with and adding to shakes oats and sweet potatos
Will buy again many thanks
Awesome taste.
- (06 / Dec / 2013)
This is a fantastic product to cook with if you like the taste of coconut. It taste so good that I have a spoonful in my coffee and hot chocolate. I will certainly be buying this product again.
- (11 / Nov / 2013)
Excellent product can be used for cooking, you can eat or drink it and is a very good moisturiser.
- (21 / Oct / 2013)
Adds amazing flavour to food, much better option than your typical oils and butter. Goes Well With:Rice (especially if you're making coconut rice), meats and fish.
Good product
- (09 / Oct / 2013)
Coconpure is a good product, but it's definitely less tasty than other coconut oils I've tried. I know this is really picky, but coming in a plastic tub makes it feel cheap, especially when you consider it's a premium product that every other brand sells in glass jars. Goes Well With:MP Almond butter, Whey Protein, Egg White Powder, Milk Protein Smooth.
brilliant for cooking
- (01 / Oct / 2013)
Coconpure is brilliant for cooking, it's better than any oils and doesn't stick your food to the pan and you only need a little bit. It can make your food taste a little like coconut, I use it for cooking eggs but I don't mind the taste of coconut.
- (18 / Sep / 2013)
This is an excellent product. The health benefits if true make it better than anyting you probably currently use. I have no idea if it has any effect on me but if you are making any spice meal it is fantastic. This is part of a new regime for me being a 53 year old semi fitness fanatic. I have bought a number of products on the advice of my son, all from MY protein and have yet to be other than totally satisfied.Goes Well With:Anything I would imagine
- (28 / Aug / 2013)
Coconpure is not the best coconut oil I've had, but not the worst. It has a decent taste, texture and price.Goes Well With:Eggs, stir fries, fish, chicken, peanut butter, chocolate, on a spoon.
Taste of Paradise
- (15 / Aug / 2013)
This Coconpure is incredible, it smells divine and tastes of coconuts! Unlike lots of other cheap coconut oils, this is the business. It's the best thing I've bought for a while. I use it as a cooking oil for frying or sautéing. Nothing sticks to the pan or burns. I couldn't imagine cooking without it.
- (04 / Aug / 2013)
Coconpure is an awesomely healthy fat to cook with or just add to foods to ensure adequate fat intake from quality sources. In terms of cooking I stick to butter and this.Goes Well With:shakes, coffee, veggies (stir-frying)
- (19 / Jul / 2013)
This Coconpure is an excellent product for cookingGoes Well With:Protein muffins
- (18 / Jul / 2013)
Coconpure is the best oil there is for cooking with.Goes Well With:Any meat or poultry
- (08 / Jul / 2013)
Coconpure mixes nice in my coffee.
nice &very tasty (to coconut)
- (04 / Jul / 2013)
Coconpure is great to add in the menu, for breakfast (brown bread, coconut, peanut butter and nutella or jam) in protein milkshakes, flapjaks, thai and indian food, curries, chillies, cakes.. just change butter for this. If you like coconut taste you'll love it but if you don't..do not even try it, gives a lot of flavour to the dishes you cook with. Me? I've been using it for months, I can't really tell the difference but if I would be using butter most probably I would have a different body, also I'm on diet and i'm achieving excellent results but obviously I'm training very hard!
It's good
- (03 / Jun / 2013)
Coconpure is reasonably priced, with good consistency. It tastes good.
- (01 / May / 2013)
Our family love this Coconpure - due to it's taste, texture and non-lingering smell after frying. Most of all we enjoy coconpure's health benefit - it's a pleasure to eat knowing that we can enjoy the taste and stay healthy. Coconpure is easy to store and has a long expiry date keeping wastage to zero in our house. There is no mess using this oil, it's excellent and essential.Goes Well With:French toast, fried eggs, actually-anything in the frying pan
sam lucas

Coconpure is very good value for money and arrived very quickly. I will order again.
- (22 / Apr / 2013)
There is a slight taste of petroleum jelly or vaseline if you like. I had tried someone else's version of this before Myprotein's own and it was better but more expensive which leaves me asking "Is this stuff actually pure?". The consistency is also like petroleum jelly which probably makes this an effective skin conditioner.Goes Well With:Dry skin.
Brilliant stuff
- (17 / Apr / 2013)
I use a heaped teaspoon of this in my morning kale shake (powerful Joe Rogan) as well as using it in the majority of my frying. It does have a coconut flavour so take this into consideration when making food as it might impair the flavour. It has fantastic health benefits as well!Goes Well With:Shakes, cooking
- (09 / Apr / 2013)
Coconpure is a great product. It's also full of healthy fats and has a great taste! Goes Well With:Great for cooking curry!
- (01 / Apr / 2013)
Excellent quality product and better value for money than the sizes and brands available in Holland and Barrett. Great for cooking steak, chicken, fish and veg with and can also be used as a moisturiser for the skin.
- (01 / Apr / 2013)
I've read about Coconpure recently as a health aid, so I'm giving it a try on this basis. I've no idea about the effectiveness so far.Goes Well With:Cereal, yoghurt, toasted bagels.
Use it!
- (01 / Apr / 2013)
I love Coconpure. I use it for frying and it doesn't impart a coconut taste. I don't like the taste of coconut so that was a huge bonus for me. It's great to be able to cook with an oil whilst being safe in the knowledge that I'm using a quality product with massive health benefits.Goes Well With:Frying foods.
Helps skin heal from Shingles
- (24 / Mar / 2013)
I've been suffering from Shingles on my face for the past few days and applied this Coconpure to the skin and it really helped stop my skin from drying.
I can see that the skin is healing much faster and with less marks.
I even apply this when I go to bed at night and just put a towel over my pillow to absorb the excess oil.
Good but smoky some times
- (11 / Mar / 2013)
First time using coconut oil, will be using again. Find that it gives a nice light coconut flavour to some meals. Great source for your MCT. I would reccomend when frying food using a non stick pan, as can get very very smoky but never have that problem using a good quality pan.

Excellent product. Cheaper than everywhere else even with delivery. Subtle coconut taste which family members appreciatr as there not cocnut fans. Can't taste coconpure much when cooking. I do prefere a slightly stronger flavour but its still scrummy.

Coconpure is excellent value and mixes well.
coconut oil cheaper
- (13 / Feb / 2013)
Overall Coconpure is amazing. I fried some eggs this morning with coconut oil and I will never go back to normal oil or butter.
Jan Grant
- (22 / Jan / 2013)
This Myprotein Coconpure is an amazing product. It's very heat stable and tasty, even on its own. When cooking with it, I always lick the spoon I use to transport it from the tub clean. It may add a hint of coconut flavour to certain foods (though I've only noticed this with eggs), but this can actually improve the taste rather than spoil it. I would recommend this to anyone looking to use a healthy, heat-stable oil in their cooking adventures!

"Been really impressed with this only got turned on to the whole "bulletproof" stuff recently and the benefits of Coconut Oil / MCT Oil. I use a couple of tablespoons in my Kale Shake every morning (couple of handfuls of Kale, 1/3 Cucumber, 1 Pear, 25g Ginger, 4 sticks Celery) - thanks Joe Rogan and it really helps with the uptake of the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K). Tastes and blends fine and gives a nice silky "mouthfeel" to the smoothie. Great product just wish it was available in bigger sizes."
Ross Crawford

"I use this for frying eggs, chicken, anything basically. It is also great for roasting sweet potatoes. Love the stuff."
Ross Crawford
- (31 / Jul / 2012)
Comes rock solid but after leaving at room temp for a couple of days it's like spreadable butter. Tastes lovely and use for cooking everything be it frying chicken or roasting sweet potato chips (highly recommend).
- (17 / Sep / 2011)
I use this on a bran bagel in the morning as a butter replacement (it is not spreadable from the fridge but it has such a low melting point that crumbling some on the warm bagel is no problem) and then wholenut peanut butter ontop and it's an excellent start! I know it says this can be used for cooking but I found it smokes like a bugger!
James Flynn

I fry chicken breasts in coconpure almost every day. tastes great and is really healthy..perfect! best product i've bought from myprotein. will buy again as soon as a run out of this tub.

(FOX 11) The costs for California's bullet train project has doubled since its first projection.
And a new report says the design will cost an extra $97 million.
Rail authority spokesman Rob Wilcox says that money isn't an increase.
"It's just part of the budget, part of the anticipated costs," says Wilcox. "We're going to be spending billions of dollars on this project. That doesn't mean that the costs are going up. That's anticipated."
But Assemblyman Brian Jones (R-Santee) tells our investigative producer Heidi Cuda he's concerned the high-speed rail project might bankrupt the state.

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - Minnesota Mobile Dental makes its way into Duluth on Monday in an effort to drum-up volunteer support that would provide free dental work to men, women and children from low-income families. The mobile clinic -- called "Little Flossie" -- will be parked at the Duluth Salvation Army off of the 27th Ave. West exit, and will host an open house from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. to provide information to anybody in the dental field or beyond who might be interested in volunteering for future free clinics. At the moment, the mobile clinic is slated to visit Duluth monthly or quarterly according to need. The unit is outfitted with two complete dental suites that include all equipment and supplies. The clinic -- based in Eagan -- plans to see about 25 people in need on Tuesday.

What makes a good School of Webcraft Challenge?
We have been working hard with the P2PU community these past weeks to roll out the alpha version of the Webmaking 101 course for Mozilla's School of Webcraft.
For this first phase we are rolling out five introductory challenges that take someone from being an absolute novice web developer to discovering the basic skills they will need to level up as a "web-crafter". These skills vary from "understanding basic HTML tags" to "being able to give helpful feedback" and are connected to assessments and associated badges that feed Mozilla's Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI); "a mechanism to demonstrate and capture the learning wherever it happens and then carry the evidence back to recruiters, formal institutions or our peer community." If you want to learn more about OBI read this super post by my colleague Erin Knight.
In P2PU we are using an open process to design the challenges by sharing our work and implementing feedback as we go. As part of that process we have been reflecting on what makes a good challenge based on the work we have been doing for the Webmaking 101 course. Below an *illustrated* guide of what we came up with:
What makes a good challenge?
• Simple setup, complex problem: The challenge uses a simple setup that requires learners to find the solution to a complex problem. For example, in the "Bring it All Together Challenge" learners have to create a portfolio site (simple setup) but the problem they have to solve has many layers (complex) ; they have to sketch, design and develop wire frames to build their own site. In doing so learners find meaning in taking the tasks that will help them solve the hard problem they are faced with.
• Having clear goals: the challenge has clear goals, such as "build an about page", "work together with your peers", "embed video into a web-page" etc. In doing so learners have a clear set of expectations of what they need to accomplish by the end of the challenge.
• Taking on a role: learners take on an identity or a multiple set of identities such as programmer, collaborator … HTML viking! In doing so they become committed to the space and the community in which the complex learning challenge is situated.
• Having a "need to know": there is a real or fictional need for the learners to master the skills required to complete the challenge. The "need to know" can be tied to personal motivations such as creating your own portfolio site to find a job, or social motivations such as leveling up, winning a community-wide competition or even a fun factor such as a compelling story that draws you into having a reason to solve the challenge. By having a "need to know" learners see the benefit in taking on the challenge.
• Assessment is embedded: assessment of how the learner is doing is taking place during the challenge rather than after the fact. For example in the "My Trusty Text Editor Challenge" learners have to debate about which text editor works best in order to complete the challenge; they have to research different text editors, compare them and provide arguments for the best one. The artifacts they provide to argue which text editor is best provide a form of assessment that is embedded within the challenge.
• Smartools: By completing a challenge and obtaining a badge a learner unlocks certain smartools. A smartool is something a learner can use again and again in other challenges. For example, Firebug (if Firebug was to be unlocked as a tool after completing challenge x) is a type of smartool. In doing so learners connect the skills they have gained to actual tools they can use and master. Smartools can also be user-created, such as the library of images that correlate to HTML tags, in the "HTML is All Around You Challenge."
• Achievements are meaningful: badges and achievements are connected to the challenge, what the learners have to do next and the identity they take upon. In doing so the achievement system helps learners reflect on their own learning pathway as well that of their peers.
• There is risk-taking and exploration: Learners are encouraged to take risks, explore, and try new things. For example, in the "Mish Mesh Challenge" you have to create a grid based layout for your work; if you have ever done that for your portfolio you might know that there are several sizes of grids that you can create, so during the process you might tinker with many grid sizes (trial), make a couple of ugly layouts (error) until you find the one that works best for you. This tinkering process makes learners feel safe to try new things and fail multiple times before mastering a skill.
• Balanced scaffolding/Flow: scaffolding can help one overcome difficulties in a challenge that if too difficult could prevent them from moving forward and if too easy could prevent them from actually learning. Mihaly Csikszentimihalyi describes the state of mind when performing a challenge were the "tasks" are doable but increasingly challenging as "flow". This emotional and intellectual state is common in things like games when the first levels of a game are very easy but after a certain point the game becomes extremely hard to beat. To learn more about Csikszentimihalyi's "Flow" you can watch his ted talk. BJ Fogg's Behavior Model is also a good lens to look through when creating a challenge.
• A sense of agency: Learners feel a real sense of agency and control over what they are learning and doing in the challenge. Allowing guru level learners to edit some challenges and remix them or having a requirement to create your own challenge after obtaining high ranked badges, would be such an example. By being on the "driver seat" learners get personally invested in their learning.
• There are many solutions to the same problem: different users can solve the same problem in different ways. Being able to compare the different solutions that users have submitted is also equally important. In doing so learners understand that there are no wrong or right answers and can get inspired by the different solutions given by their peers.
• Fun & Replayability: the challenges are *so* enjoyable that users will "re-play" certain ones that lead to different outcomes or allow them to level up in the community. In general challenges that connect to an artifact and allow for different level badges have a high replayability value because learners can take the challenge again and again to create different versions of an artifact, such as a song for the "Your DNS Domain Name Challenge" and level up by obtaining a higher ranked badge.
We have outlined above some of the things we believe make a good School of Webcraft Challenge, we'd very much like you to get involved by sharing your feedback with us.
Stay tuned for a "10 steps to create your own School of Webcraft Challenge" soon.
In the meantime, special thanks to Jamie Curle, Content Expert for the Webmaking 101 course who helped me edit this post and Dan Diebolt for his feedback.

A reputation for excellence
We updated Del Fuerte's packaging.
Del Fuerte's "little tomatoes" have been, for many years, the tomato sauce heroes of the Mexican market. However, the brand had trouble extending its reputation for excellence successfully into other categories.
This is why Grupo Herdez Del Fuerte decided to redirect its brand strategy, targeting a more detail-focused segment: people who need to know the origin of their products and who care and enjoy eating natural and healthy food.
To recommend the new package design, Interbrand researched various audiences. The new design, which is geared to this target, achieves more presence on the shelf by reinforcing the brand's black color and using cleaner elements.
The new brand, which was launched on 2010, has been met positively by consumers.

Consumer prices edge down in August
September 28, 2000
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.1 percent in August after increasing 0.2 percent in July. For the 12-month period ended in August, the CPI-U increased 3.4 percent.
The energy index, which rose 0.1 percent in July, fell 2.9 percent in August. The indexes for petroleum-based energy and for energy services declined 5.5 and 0.2 percent, respectively.
The food index rose 0.2 percent in August. The index for food at home increased 0.3 percent after advancing 0.7 percent in July, with each of the major food at home groups except fruits and vegetables contributing to the deceleration. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent in August, the same as in each of the previous four months.
During the first eight months of 2000, the CPI-U rose at a 3.5 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This compares with an increase of 2.7 percent for all of 1999.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Price Index program.

Comfort, convenience, elegance
Mary and Alan St. George.s house has a fabulous view and wonderful location. The rooms are comfortable and very well equipped. There is a communal kitchen, again very well equipped, a comfortable lounge, a great terrace and huge garden in which to wander or just lounge. The swimming pool, right up at the top of the property, is like an infinity pool...round and, at the right angle, all you can see is the sea beyond. Fabulous. The nearby village, Almocageme, is an unspoiled, non-touristy gem. Nearby is an innovative cafe and gallery and Sintra and beyond can be reached by the hourly bus from the bottom of the drive. Nearby too are many good local restaurants and beaches. This is really a pearl of a property in an area that has resisted tourist tackiness and exploitation and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. If you are in a group, Mary can introduce you to a great local cook, Sarah, who will bring an excellent and innovative local meal for you each evening at a reasonable cost. That and Mary's hospitality made our holiday perfect.
Lovely destination for a holiday
I've stayed at Casa Do Leao for the past 3 years and always look forward to returning. It is a home away from home. The cottage is very well cared for, with lovely decor and it has all the mod cons. The views are breath-taking and the novelty never wears off of looking out over the stunning hillside and down to the sea. We love going into Sintra and exploring the many palaces and the quaint little shops and welcoming restaurants. Our favourite restaurant has to be Toca do Julio in nearby Almocageme and the waitress last time remembered us and gave us such a warm welcome. The cottage is also within easy drive of Caiscais, with the lovely harbour and stunning sandy beaches. The pool at the cottage is perfect for a refreshing dip and to catch some sun. I've been with both my family and a group of friends and it caters very well for everyone. There are some wonderful walks from the cottage and bikes there that you can also use. I can't recommend this area or cottage enough and am already looking forward to my visit.
Charming house and owner!
Could not have been more perfect for family holiday near Sintra. Cool at night but with beautiful Atlantic beaches ten minutes drive away. Elegantly decorated and with lovely garden and stunning views in wonderfully unspoilt village in the hills above Montserrate near Sintra. Clean and well maintained with very helpful owner. Highly recommend,

Three residents - including an 80-year-old man - were arrested recently on a variety of drug charges by the Barnegat Police Narcotics Unit, Lt. Keith Germain said.
Police made the arrests at 4:07 p.m. on March 25 near 21 South Main Street, shortly after they spotted Charles Eble 3rd, 39, who they knew had $4,500 in outstanding warrants out of several towns.
The detectives found 46 wax paper folds of heroin on Eble. They then spoke with Valerian Zieniewicz, 80 and Bethany Park, 34, and determined that Zieniewicz had purchased heroin from Eble, which he then distributed to Park, Germain said.
The three - all from Barnegat - were arrested and taken to police headquarters.
Zieniewicz was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with the intent to distribute, distribution of heroin (all 3rd degree), and wandering to obtain a controlled dangerous substance, Germain said.
Park was charged with wandering to obtain a controlled dangerous substance.Both Zieniewicz and Park were released, pending a court date.

Derek Bickerton
Hill and Wang
"Bickerton bar-hops through some of the world's most exotic locations and languages, and somehow along the way he manages to crack one of the deepest mysteries of language itself. A fantastic and frank account of research in the real world." —Christine Keneally, author of The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language
"Derek Bickerton is one of the great modern contributors to our understanding of language, and Bastard Tongues combines an intellectual detective story, a disarmingly frank autobiography, and a tale of adventures in exotic places. If you're curious about the origins of pidgins, Creoles, or indeed language itself, start here. If you already know Bickerton's ideas and want to know where they came from, this book is for you, too." —Melvin Konner, author of The Tangled Wing: Biological Constraints on the Human Spirit, revised edition
"Open the book at almost any page and you'll be drawn in by the exotic places, interesting people, and the unfolding detective story about how a new language gets started. There is nothing dry about linguistics when Derek is telling the story. It's a delight to read."—William H. Calvin, author of Global Fever: How to Treat Climate Change
"A fascinating memoir from one of the most innovative and literate linguists of our age." —Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of The Language Instinct, Words and Rules, and The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature

The El Paso Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that the homeless woman who was discovered buried under hail after Saturday's severe storms has died. The Medical Examiners Office is working to confirm her identity and notify her family before any additional information is released.
El Paso Fire Department officials say a homeless woman was left in critical condition after being swept away into a Northeast El Paso drain during Saturday's hail storm.
Investigators said the woman, only identified as being in her 50's, was sleeping by the drain's entrance near Gateway North and Transmountain Road around 5 p.m. when it flooded.
Two men who were with her were also carried away. Fire crews said they were able to escape.
The woman was rescued approximately 90 minutes later. She was found underneath approximately three feet of ice, according to fire officials.
She was taken to University Medical Center.
Saturday's fast moving storm dumped about 1.5 inches of rain around El Paso, according to the National Weather Service.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
With a deep rich red color this wine shows hints of strawberry, black cherry and spices. Round and elegant it provides a robust mouth-filling sensation with a very well integrated French oak that provides notes of leather and a delicate toastiness. Long in the mid-palate with rich and flavorful tannins. A fruit forward and rich wine.
Ideal pairing with Portobello risotto, ratatouille, chicken with mole and aged cheeses.

With the release of the first Montes Alpha wine back in 1988, Montes became one of the first premium wineries of Chile. Their premise, a clear belief that Chile had an untapped potential as a producer of quality wines, made them a benchmark for other wineries to follow.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

We have new developments regarding a string of burglaries in Grand Forks over the weekend: police have released a surveillance photo of a suspect they believe to be responsible for burglarizing four restaurants.
It appears police are trying to catch a pro; police say a white male suspect methodically and quite quickly burglarized four Grand Forks restaurants early Saturday morning and walked away with thousands.
Sgt. Travis Jacobson, Grand Forks Police: "At this time we don't have an exact amount. I know we're in the thousands of dollars."
Reporter: "Under $10,000?"
Jacobson: "If I had to guess, I'd say under that. I don't have an exact amount at this time."
Police say in all four burglaries the suspect popped open the back doors with a pry bar, found the cash drawer, pried it open, and left. All four restaurants are on well-lit, heavily traveled streets. The suspect hit the Subway on South 32ND near Columbia Mall and three Chinese restaurants: China Garden on 32ND, Panda Buffet on Columbia Road, and Great Wall Buffet on Gateway Drive.
Police say they believe the only link between the burglaries is that the suspect was looking for cash.
Sgt. Travis Jacobson: "I don't see any connection because they were Chinese restaurants. I don't see any connection to that. I just think it's well known that a lot of cash is exchanged at a restaurant like that."
Jacobson says a simple tip for business owners to keep their cash safe from burglars is to install a safe that bolts to the floor.
Noel Schanilec, Keith's Lock & Key: "The safe itself runs about $650. Right around $700, you could have it brought over and installed."
Meanwhile, police are asking for your help; if you have any information about the identity of this suspect, you're asked to contact the Grand Forks PD at 701-787-8000.

I was lucky enough to have known Prunella since her puppyhood. She was an amazingly curious, friendly, and hilarious dog. Christine and Marc shared a wonderful life with her to the end, making difficult decisions all along the way. All dogs should know such love.

Christine, you took such great care of her. She was so special, smart and hilarious - she loved you so much, and she loved the world! Thanks for taking the time to write this out so that others who face a similar situation can learn from your experience. And thanks for being such a good mom to sweet prunella. May her heaven be full of pork chops, and may my heaven be full of dogs just like her. xoxo
If your dog has an incontinence problem the best way to go is to get bed pads, which are basically a diaper that you can lay flat on the ground. You can train your dog to use the bathroom on these sheets. They were great, every time my dog had to go he just went on the bed pads and I just roll the sheets up and threw them away. Check this site out www.ionmeds.com; they have a good selection of sizes. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for sharing your story and tips. The love and care you gave Prunella (I love the name!) is amazing and inspiring. I also commend your husband for supporting you and helping take care of Prunella. He sounds like a REALLY good man! Prunella was so lucky to have the two of you.

The top five biggest letdowns of E3 2012
[Continued] Page 2
3. NBA Live 13 Is a No Show
With EA Sports announcing the mighty return of its NBA Live franchise (after the debacle that was NBA Elite 11), one would think that the game would be a big hit at E3, to go head-to-head against NBA 2K13. Um, nope. Live was nowhere to be found, not even behind closed doors, leaving us wondering just how the game is progressing. EA stated that the game was simply deserving of its own showcase, but honestly, outside of making it a better product, there's no reason for it to pull a no-show.
Sure, Bioshock Infinite did the same thing in a way, but we've seen it in action and know Irrational Games are putting a heck of a good amount of time to making it perfect, where NBA Live 13 is trying to build on gamers' good graces again, after the abrupt cancellation of the cruddy Elite. This was a time for the product to prove its worth…and instead it went into hiding. Not good, guys.
For that matter, where was Insomniac Games' Overstrike? That thing was shown off at last year's EA press conference and yet, this year, there was no sign of it, nor any talk. Is it being saved for a next generation or what? Tell us, Insomniac!
2. Wonderbook
Let me paint a situation for you and you can tell me how it went wrong. Sony devotes a huge 20-minute time block during its press conference, which is otherwise filled with nothing but win after win for information, to an INTERACTIVE BOOK. That's Wonderbook for you, a device that features QR codes that translates into real-time images on a TV screen, interacting with the story so that it "springs" to life. That is, if you can perform the right stuff with it using your PlayStation Move controller.
We've seen this thing in action (interacting with the Book of Spells, which is a J.K. Rowling product), and, honestly, kids are likely to be bored with this after a few minutes time. The interaction is minimal at best, and requires an utmost amount of precision to get things right. Even the girl demo-ing the game couldn't perform the right motions to execute the spell – ON A LIVE STAGE.
Maybe, MAYBE if Game of Thrones came out for this thing and offered real time beheadings, we could see the coolness of Wonderbook. For the time being, though, we'll use this thing we've always had to bring our books to life. It's called imagination.

(WHAS11)—One police department in Iowa is getting new technology to make car chases safer.
Police cruisers are being fashioned with tracking bullets, that can be shot from the front of the vehicle, into the back of the vehicle they are chasing, allowing the officer to pull back from the chase.
Police said they it would allow the person being chased to slow down and act like normal traffic, lessening the chance of an accident.
Police said the suspect do not realize the bullet has been fired into their vehicle, which allows police to continue to track the vehicle via GPS.
Right now the bullets cost $500 each while the whole system cost $5,000 to install into the vehicle.
Plans are underway to install them in more of their vehicles soon.

We at Progress Times want to know the concerns and questions citizens want addressed as we prepare for Election Day, May 10.
Seats on both the Mission Consolidated Independent School District and Sharyland ISD are both up for election, and they all have competition.
Members of area school boards make decisions that affect everyday life of community members.
They choose the superintendent, who turns around and leads the school district. They decide where the district will put its resources and which programs to fund. Schools becoming overcrowded? School board trustees oversee the construction of new facilities.
There currently are several big projects underway in both Mission and Sharyland schools, such as renovations of Mission High School, construction of a new Sharyland High and educational reforms at all the districts.

Taylor Swift receives yet another welcome, this time from Manfredi Farms in Westerly, RI where she recently purchased a $17 million dollar home.
Richard Manfredi owner of Manfredi farms along with three other helpers spelled out the words "Welcome Taylor" along with a guitar in his 8 acre corn maze. Manfredi says they carefully measured the rows, bent the corn stocks and with a mower they slowly but surely finished, he tells ABC 6 News that he is pleased with the final outcome.
Manfredi says he did it just to be a "good neighbor" and wants Taylor to feel welcomed in Rhode Island.

Economic Stimulus? Think HEMP!
Becca Wolford, Contributing Writer
Waking Times
Last night's vice-presidential debate had me thinking quite a bit this morning. Almost all of the topics, in some way or other, had to do with money. Defense – money. Economy – money. Taxes – money. Medicare – money. Health – money. Social Security – money. Employment/unemployment – money.
And by now you are wondering, "Where is she going with this?"
I'll tell you. The United States' economy is not at it's healthiest point right now. People are hurting. Businesses are hurting. Some American farmers are hurting. Unemployment is at an unacceptable level. Fossil fuel energy is HIGH. Now, I must also remind you that everything is energy, money is energy. Energy fluctuates. Everything fluctuates, up and down, never in a steady, static line.
I came across several articles stating that greener businesses are growing at a faster percentage rate than the actual economy growth. Here are a few examples of some 'green' business types: bicycles, thrift and re-purposing stores, electric/hybrid cars (some which use hemp panels), wind/solar energy, and green construction (both industrial and residential).
BUT, like I stated above, green businesses are GROWING. What does this growth mean? Jobs. Income. Security. Economic growth. And…environmental conscience.
Below is an excerpt from one of the articles I read:
- Greener industries grow faster than the overall economy. For every percentage-point increase in an industry's green intensity, annual employment growth was 0.034 percentage points higher. Future projections suggest continued job growth from green intensity.
- States with greater green intensity generally fared better in the economic downturn.
- Green jobs are accessible to workers without a college degree. For every 1 percentage-point increase in green intensity in a given industry, there was a corresponding 0.28 percentage-point increase in the share of jobs in that industry held by workers without a four-year college degree.
- Manufacturing plays a strong role in the green economy. The sector accounts for 20.4 percent of all green jobs despite representing only 10.8 percent of total private employment. Furthermore, the green industries within the manufacturing sector are projected to grow 25 percent faster than the overall sector.
Much of the current discussion about green jobs focuses on the renewable-energy industry and thus overlooks how pervasive green jobs are throughout the economy. In truth, the utility sector accounts for just three percent of total private green jobs, and even within that sector, the water and sewage industry accounts for over four times the number of green jobs as renewable energy. Occupations such as garbage collectors, sewage workers, construction workers, household-appliance manufacturers and bus drivers are as integral to the green economy as solar-panel installers or wind-turbine manufacturers.
"Transitioning to a greener and more sustainable economy is good for the environment, but it also helps promote stronger economic growth and opportunity," said Pollack. "And the seeds of this transformation are planted throughout the economy, oftentimes in unexpected places." (enewspf.com)
"Seeds." Did you see that? And you KNOW which direction I am taking that – HEMP!
Hemp is one of the GREENEST products on the planet. It is carbon negative. It's growing season is approximately 4 months. It can be used to manufacture ANY product that is also made with carbon-based fossil fuels. Hemp can also be used in construction – interior, exterior, foundation to roof. It is biodegradable, cleans the air, heals the soil, uses less water than cotton or other crops, doesn't need fertilizer or pesticides, and can be grown ABUNDANTLY in many climates. Not only that, it's nutritional value makes it an important food crop.
Hemp can put our farmers to work. (See also American Farmland Trust.) Hemp, being a GREEN resource, can help our economy grow faster, put manufacturers to work, and start the process to heal our planet from the damage done by pulling fossil fuels out of the ground.
My vote is for HEMP!

"and start the process to heal our planet from the damage done by pulling fossil fuels out of the ground.
Don't you see, if we grew cheap biodegradable hemp fuel, we
could not be controlled by the Religious, Oily Bankster scum,
and their would be no reason for the accidental apes, to kill their brothers and sisters around the world anymore, because everyone around the world would have their own natural oil fuel.
The ones who own us physically, and materially, have taken away our gift, "Every seed bearing herb on the face of the whole earth, I give to Everyone", taken away through "Reefer Madness science," and by reducing mankind, to accidental apes, with the theory/religion of evolution, and removing the Creator from the picture, teaching accidentals that Truth, as myth, and myths are true. The satanic genius of the enemy, proves God's existence.?
The DNA, with it's 3,000,000,000,000 letters of information.
destroys the accidental ape theory, but the THEORY is taught
(to precious young minds) as FACT. ??
Just as DNA has set us free from the religion of evolution,
so too shall we be free from sucking the serpents oily teat,
(in about 7 years from now) when the plumed serpent will be (plucked), chained, and dropped into the bottomless pit, and he will no longer DECEIVE the nations, for 1,000 years.
Sanity will be restored, TRUTH will be spoken by all, and the Oily, Religious, War Criminal rulers of this AGE, will exchange their crowns, for crowns of brimstone, cursing the fact that they were ever created, and that they will exist in torment, with Zeus and 1/3rd of the ancient astronauts, that rebelled with him, forever.
No more Herb War, no more oil war games for profit.
From the invisible dimension, He reminds us once again, that
"the very hairs of our head are all numbered" just as he told
the people over 2,000 years ago. He holds the patent.
"I have declared it,(ancient prophecies, tell the END from the beginning) and I will do it (fulfill every word of it) Himself.
They use us, against us, because they know, very few of us THINK.
Let's piss'em off and THINK !
Hemp is the way of the future and the past.

Our Director-Showcasing Series Continues With Stellar New Work Submitted Via Open Call
Rising star Annabelle Dexter-Jones takes a soul searching trip back to her character's small-town past in Julian Ungano's And After All, the first premiere chosen from our Short on Sundays open call via NOWNESS' Vimeo page. Selected from over 200 submissions, the film throws the seemingly glamorous Manhattan art world into sharp relief when Jones' protagonist is faced with real loss, forcing her to travel to a world she thought she had left behind—and rekindle a relationship in the process. "I lost my father when I was 15, and had been trying to put something together inspired by that," explains Ungano of this deeply personal project, which stars a handful of New York scenesters including Byrdie Bell, Victor Kubicek and Heidi Mount. "Then sometime around Christmas in 2011 I lost my mother quite suddenly and I sort of rearranged things and was able to write the first version of the script in a couple days." Ungano and his collaborator on the project, Tommy Agriodimas, met while students at the Pratt Institute and have since shot for clients including The New York Times, Elle, Ralph Lauren and Nike as well as DJing regularly around town and putting out their own publication, La Lutte Continue. Inspired by cinema verité, the camera work for their newest film draws the viewer into the experience of Dexter-Jones' character. "I knew almost instantly that she was the right person," says Ungano of casting the Manhattan-raised actress, daughter of Foreigner's Mick Jones, sister of producer Mark Ronson, and muse to the likes of Leos Carax, Aaron Rose and André Saraiva. "She can appear supremely confident and then you blink your eyes and refocus them on her and she looks completely vulnerable." We reached out to cast members Bell, Kubicek and star Dexter-Jones for their reflections on working with the industrious duo.
Annabelle Dexter-Jones
What was cool was that there was something very personal about the project. It had a lot to do with Julian's life, and when we were shooting we stayed in his house in Vermont where he grew up. I found that very helpful for me. I felt like Julian let me into this very intimate and sacred part of his life growing up.
Byrdie Bell
I love working with Julian and Tommy because they are both uniquely talented but also compliment each other in a way that brings their voices to another level. I remember, specifically, on set when there were some lighting issues in the club scene Tommy so insightfully put Julian at ease by pointing out the narrative parallels illustrated by the juxtaposition of the cramped dark city scenes to the wide open Vermont landscape. That's my favorite part of the film—when we are viewers can breathe with Charlotte.
Victor Kubicek
Julian and Tommy were confident and quick, young filmmakers who weren't too cautious and sluggish. They're very visually sensitive and were obsessed with setting up shots, so they let us do our thing. We had good fun. I know Annabelle, who was in it too, so we were able to goof around. Shooting over three days in the fall in New York City, some of the scenes were in Bungalow 8—but in the middle of the day!
Kahlil Joseph's Film Meditates on the Origins of an All-Black Rodeo in Oklahoma
A dreamlike narrative binds cowboy and an angelic specter clad in white in director Kahlil Joseph's exploration of a little-known African-American rodeo subculture. Joseph, who is part of the Los Angeles-based What Matters Most film collective, visited the annual August rodeo in the sparsely populated Oklahoma town of Grayson (previously Wildcat), an event that attracts African-American bull riders, barrel racers and cowgirls from all over the Midwest and southern USA. He set out to celebrate the origins of the rodeo by paying respect to the spirit of Aunt Janet, a member of the family who founded the event, passed away last year and is embodied as the young girl in the film. "Black people are light years more advanced than the ideas and images that circulate would have you believe. The spaces we control and exist are my ground zero for filming, at least so far, and there are opportunities for me to tap into the energy," says Joseph who has also made films for musicians including Shabazz Palaces and Seu Jorge. "So an all-black town with an all-black rodeo in the American heartland was a kind of vortex or portal through which I could actually show this." Wildcat is scored by experimental musician Flying Lotus, who has previously collaborated with Joseph on a short to accompany his 2012 album Until the Quiet Comes, which is showing during Sundance London this weekend.
Vincent Haycock Casts Three Brothers From Compton for the London Producer's Stirring New Release
"Everything in the video is their real life," says director Vincent Haycock of the Mays boys, who he cast for this magic realist visual accompaniment to London composer and producer Raffertie's new track "Build Me Up," after meeting the youngest brother Demantre while location scouting in South Central, Los Angeles. "Every cast member is their friend, son, or cousin, and all the locations are their houses and neighborhood," explains the filmmaker, whose previous work includes videos for Florence and the Machine, Spiritualized and Calvin Harris. "Most of the scenes were based on what they wanted to do as opposed to me giving them too much direction. The only thing I made up was the idea of death—all the brothers are alive and well." The occasional special effect adds a surreal, poetic element to Haycock's fictionalized rendition of the Mays' intense lives in the video produced by Somesuch & Co, rendering a portrait of the cyclical nature of life while forming a narrative mirror of the looping, primal track, taken from Raffertie's album due out on Ninja Tune later this year. "One of the aspects I liked most was the idea of turning the breaks in the song's structure into natural pauses for the voice-overs," he says. "A musical element was still required here though so I composed some extra music derived from the choral backing vocals." Next up for Haycock is a video for Rihanna—"It will be a complete 180 degree turn from this project," he reveals—while Raffertie will release the Build Me Up EP on May 20.
You have a background in musical composition—when you are composing, do you ever have visuals in mind?
Raffertie: Music is very visual for me. Often there are many images that go around my mind when listening to or making music. It happens the other way around as well, when I look at things, and witness events, ideas spring to mind that tend to be musical in nature.
What music videos or visual/musical collaborations have most inspired you in the past and why?
R: Zatorski and Zatorski and Philip Glass in The Last 3600 Seconds of a Wasp. The film documents the last hour of the life of a wasp, which fell onto its back and was unable to right itself. Set to Glass' Metamorphosis, the combination of what I was seeing augmented by this music caused such a visceral reaction in me.
Have any screen soundtracks left their mark on you of late?
R: I feel that film music has become quite homogeneous, but two soundtracks have stood out recently. The first was the original music composed for Tyrannosaur by Chris Baldwin and Dan Baker. The film is one of the most depressing, harrowing and horrific films I have seen for a while and the music illustrates that exceptionally with its unusual pallet of sounds. The second is the soundtrack of recent British TV series Utopia, which was written by Cristobal Tapia de Veer. Like the imagery of the show, it feels almost hyperreal. Moving from quirky to dark and from abstract to serene, the soundtrack is a timbral adventure.

If you haven't read Andrea Pirlo's excellent biography, you must do so. Right now. As Michael Cox pointed out in a review, "footballers' autobiographies are rarely interesting." (Except for Zlat) However, Pirlo has released a pearl of a book. I usually skim footballer biographies looking for potshots, but Pirlo's candor and detail drew me in. Mad credit to Pirlo for being Pirlo, and the ghost/co-writer Alessandro Alciato, and translator Mark Palmer.
However, there is one major flaw in this book: they excised the detailed entries related to his epic PS2 FIFA battles with Alessandro Nesta. Luckily, I used all of my colossal weight in the eBook and soccer writing sphere to get my hands on said excerpts. And here they are, for your reading pleasure.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Blake will find himself in an unusual place when the team faces the Boston Bruins tonight on TSN, the press box.
For the first time in his Leafs' career, Blake will be a healthy scratch for the game. Blake, played in all 82-games last season despite under-going cancer treatment.
The 35-year old, who leads the Leafs with 24 shots on goal, but only has one goal and two assists in six games this season, was demoted to the fourth line during the second and third period of the Leafs 3-2 shootout loss the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.
"I have to break through some of the mindset that's been here after three seasons of not making the playoffs," coach Ron Wilson said on Wednesday. "It might be unorthodox, but the players will start to understand that I'm serious about entitlement.
"You don't have a right to play, because someone in the media likes you or you have a fan club. That's irrelevant from my point of view. It's the results you produce on the ice. And not enough of guys have produced to even have that sense of entitlement."
Winger Ryan Hollweg, who missed the last three games because of a suspension will return to the lineup and skated with the line of Jamal Mayers and John Mitchell during Thursday's skate.
Winless in Five
The Maple Leafs began the season with a road victory over Detroit, the defending Stanley Cup champions, but have since gone 0-2-3. Toronto has been outscored 19-8 during the slide and is now in danger of dropping six straight tests for the first time since a seven-game slide from November 25-December 9, 2006.
Vesa Toskala yielded two goals on 21 shots through three periods and the extra session during Tuesday's loss, but was curiously pulled for Joseph before the shootout began. Head coach Ron Wilson said after the game that Toskala needs "a little more practice on shootouts".
After tonight's road tilt, the Leafs will return to Ontario for a two-game homestand. Toronto is 1-1-1 as the visiting team so far this season.
The Bruins are also coming off a 3-2 shootout loss as Thomas Vanek notched the deciding tally in the final segment this past Tuesday in Buffalo.
Vanek's goal in the fifth round of the shootout put Buffalo on top, and Ryan Miller's save of a Marc Savard shot clinched the win for the Sabres.
Dennis Wideman and Phil Kessel scored for Boston, which has lost two straight and four of its last five tests. Manny Fernandez had 28 saves for the Bruins.
Tonight marks the first of two straight games at home for the Bruins, who had their home opener Monday against Pittsburgh and were handed a shootout loss.
Boston has won two straight and six of the last nine encounters with the Maple Leafs, but Toronto has come out on top in three of its previous five trips to Beantown.

You don't have to wear a lot of makeup to sparkle this season. Take the less-is-more approach and accent your best feature for the perfect festive flair.
Look on the Bright Side
To make eyes pop, start by curling your lashes. Clamp down at the roots and work outward to the tips, keeping the pressure the same to form an even curve.
Glow for It
To quickly go from day to night, apply a gold or silver eyeliner with sparkly flecks, such as Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner ($18, urbandecay.com).
Lash Out
Get sky-high lift with a volumizing mascara; try Rimmel London Max Volume Bold Curves Mascara ($7.19, drugstores). Wiggle the wand from side to side as you raise it to create a fan effect.

If your skin is fair...
To perk up peepers, dust a silver shadow, like subtle CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Sterling Blue ($3.47, drugstores), over lids.
If your skin is medium...
Pink hues keep olive-toned skin from looking sallow. A new one: MAC Cosmetics A Tartan Tale Eye Shadow in A Wish Come True ($19.50, maccosmetics.com).
If your skin is dark...
Peacock blue shades, such as Hard Candy Meteor-eyes in Asteroid ($6, walmart.com), give oomph to deeper tones.

Gleam On
Rev up your lit-from-within radiance by exfoliating first. Sloughing dead skin cells with a gentle scrub will create a dewy canvas, says Sara Strand, founder of Pop Beauty. Next, apply a tinted moisturizer to even out your tone.
Add Color
With a fluffy brush, dust blush on cheeks in quick strokes. Sweep some on your brow bone, too. "This gives you a fresh-faced look that works day or night," says Napoleon Perdis, creator of the eponymous cosmetics line.
Top It Off
Tap a dot of liquid luminizer, like Almay Face Brightener ($12.49, drugstores), onto your cheeks with your finger. The glimmer makes skin look vibrant.

Select a golden coral shade that's sheer, like Mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette ($15, meetmark.com), for a complexion that looks candlelit.
If your skin is dark...
Try NYC New York Color Cheek Glow Blush in Cherry Blossom ($2.99, drugstores), a rich hue that's perfect for deep tones.

Get Soft
Gently rub dry, flaky lips with a damp washcloth. While they're still moist, apply an emollient balm to lock in the moisture.
Go Light
A bold lip color will bring out your cheeks' natural flush, so it's best to skip the blush. Define your eyes with a taupe or gray liner and fill in your brows to add dimension. Finish with two coats of black mascara.
Gloss Over
Apply sheen only along your upper and lower lip lines. "This trick really makes your pout look fuller," Pond's celebrity makeup artist Kayleen McAdams says.

If your skin is fair...
A deep berry-pink gloss, like Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pearl Plum ($6.99, drugstores), will brighten your face.
If your skin is medium...
Go matte with a strawberry tint to complement your tone. We love Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstain in Bitten Berry ($7.49, drugstores).
If your skin is dark...
Swipe on a true-red lipstick, such as Clarins Rouge Prodige in Barocco ($24, clarinsusa.com), for an instant boost.
