Fourth Quarter 2014 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
During the final quarter of 2014, the last of this quadrennium, I put many miles on the road to complete "Ivey on the Move," a tour to connect with local business leaders, public officials, and community members.
I traveled to Birmingham and visited with leadership at the 117th Air Refueling Wing. The 117th is the best in its field. The unit is home to the KC-135. They can activate and take off in 15 minutes, and make it to the tip of Florida in an hour. Their impressive track record is known in the military world and are called on frequently for key missions. While in Birmingham, I also had the opportunity to tour Children's Hospital, a shining star of pediatric healthcare in the country. Children's opened its new facility, Benjamin Russell Hospital, in 2012 with state-of-the-art medical capabilities and fantastic patient family areas. In recent years, while healthcare has been at times stressful and confusing, it's comforting that Children's maintains its focus of providing high quality care for our littles ones and works to ease the difficulty of having a child in the hospital on the family. We are fortunate to have such an outstanding facility in Alabama. Before departing, I enjoyed lunch and a briefing at the Birmingham Business Alliance and learned about the innovative work being done at Southern Research Institute. It's fascinating to know the groundbreaking research and development in science, engineering, and environmental protection that's happening in our own backyard.
In mid-October, Senate Pro Tem Del Marsh was kind enough to host me in his home district in Annistonin Calhoun County. We began the day at Bear & Son Cutlery located in Jacksonville. The company produces hand-crafted knives and recently secured the licensing to manufacture Remington knives as a result of the successful recruitment of the company to Alabama. Bear & Son expects to double its business because of the Remington agreement -- proof that our strategy to grow the economy is working! From there, we traveled to Ft. McClellan for the "Big Bang," the culmination of an ordnance disposal program led by the McClellan Development Authority. It was pretty thrilling to push the button that triggered the explosion of the last remaining ordnance found on post. The post was closed in 1999 as a result of the 1995 BRAC and since that time, local leaders have explored how to turn a negative into a positive by re-purposing the land. With the completion of the ordnance disposal program, the land is freed up for economic development. We finished the day at the Center for Domestic Preparedness at Ft. McClellan. Thousands of emergency responders go through disaster and crisis training at the CDP each year. While we visited, the CDP served as the venue for ebola response training conducted by the Centers for Disease Control. The location and facility were the perfect fit for the CDC's needs. It's a credit to Alabama that we hosted such vital training during an international health crisis.
The last visit I'll mention in detail was to Huntsville where I made several stops on Redstone Arsenal beginning with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Director Patrick Scheuermann hosted me at the Payload Operations Center for the International Space Station. From this command post, science activities in space are coordinated. We watched as skilled professionals communicated with astronauts aboard the ISS and provided instructions to conduct research and experiments -- truly fascinating. After that, it was a pleasure to meet again with General Dennis Via, Commanding Officer of Army Materiel Command. Gen. Via is a remarkable leader for this major operation -- "If a Soldier shoots it, drives it, flies it, wears it, communicates with it, or eats it, AMC produces and provides it." AMC moved to Redstone as a result of the 2005 BRAC and is a prime example of the positive effects BRAC can have on a community. To end the day, I had the opportunity to attend one of the most moving events I have ever experienced, the Silver Star ceremony for Vietnam veteran 1st Lt. Phillip Fikes. Lt. Fikes received a Silver Star on his record, but it was never officially presented. During the ceremony, Gen. Via described Lt. Fikes' heroic actions as he continued to advance during battle despite coming under serious fire. He put his own life at risk to save the lives of many fellow soldiers. Lt. Fikes' emotional acceptance speech was full of humility and appreciation. His family joined him and Gen. Via pinned on the long-awaited Silver Star as a packed auditorium gave him a standing ovation.
During #IveyontheMove, I also had the chance to visit...

Mobile with Sen. Rusty Glover:
USS Montgomery Christening
Following a long history of ceremony, the U.S. Navy hosted a christening for the USS Montgomery sponsored by my friend, Mary Sessions, wife of Sen. Jeff Sessions. Tradition dictates that women do the honors by cracking a bottle of champagne on the ship's bow. The USS Montgomery is the 8th Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) to be completed by Austal in Mobile. I was so pleased to attend the ceremony especially since I'd recently had the opportunity to tour Austal and saw an LCS being assembled. It is fascinating how these 3,100-ton vessels are constructed. Thousands of experienced welders piece it together to produce the formidable defender we see on the water. In mid-December, Congress passed a bill which included full funding for three new LCS -- welcomed news considering a proposal earlier in the year to stop the program early. The LCS plays a significant role in our nation's defense and it's continuation is vital.
Aerospace States Association
On December 1st, I had the distinct honor to be named Interim Chair of the Aerospace States Association, a national organization designed to represent states' interests in federal aerospace and aviation policy development. Aerospace is a major economic driver to the national economy. The industry contributes about $120 billion in export sales with a positive trade balance of $70.5 billion, the largest trade surplus of any manufacturing industry in the country. Alabama has capitalized on economic opportunities to invite aerospace industry growth over many decades. More than 400 aerospace companies call Alabama home including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and most recently, Airbus.
As Chair of ASA, I'll have the opportunity to continue promoting Alabama's interests on a national level and work with other states to develop sound policies to promote and strengthen our nation's leadership in aviation and space. Aerospace in America is a rapidly changing industry that has revolutionized our culture -- from the first flight to landing on the moon to today's endeavors of commercial travel to space and integrating Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) into military and commercial use. Our states are significant contributors to building on this revolution for the benefit of our companies and citizens.
I'll fulfill the remainder of Alaska Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell's term who relinquished the chairmanship to coincide with the end of his term as Lt. Governor of Alaska. I plan to run in the April election for a full term as Chair.
My Office Budget
Since I took office in 2011, I have endeavored to reduce the budget of the Office of Lieutenant Governor. If elected leaders are talking about being good stewards of the State's resources, streamlining government functions, and cutting wasteful spending; then I feel it's important to lead by example. My office serves constituents and executes its duties to their full extent, but there's no need to spend more money than necessary. At the end of the 2013 fiscal year, our books showed I've operated the office 32 percent less than my predecessor and significantly less than most state offices. Looking back to 2008, the previous administration spent $818,000. My office completed FY13 with expenditures of $560,000. The efficiencies have not come at a cost to citizens. We are actually doing more with much less, and the record reflects it. Conservative leadership agree that fiscally conservative practices are the best for the State. We're certainly headed in the right direction, but the budgets aren't getting any easier to balance. In the coming months, you'll hear of many ideas and proposals to meet our budgets. I encourage you to stay informed and voice your opinion about how your state leaders handle the new financial challenges we face.
Logger of the Year
In November, I had the opportunity to present the Alabama Forestry Association Logger of the Year award to John McGowin of McGowin Logging Company. John is a lifelong logger from Butler County. Not one person in Alabama goes a day without using some type of forest product. Forestry is vital to Alabama's economy and it begins with the loggers. As a member of AFA, myself, it was particularly special to me to present the award. Congratulations to John and his entire crew!
Why I'm Thankful for Alabama
It's fitting at the end of a year to reflect on all for which we have to be thankful. In my November column, I talked about several reasons why I'm thankful, specifically, for Alabama. I love this state. It's my home and has provided me with great opportunity. Growing up in Wilcox County, I learned how to work hard and have a strong work ethic, aspire to great things, dream big, and serve others. I'm thankful that Alabamians are giving people. We may not be the richest state, but proportionate to their income, Alabamians outgive almost every other state in the country. I'm thankful to live in a state where men and women are willing to serve their country and their service is revered. Alabamians are historically patriotic. I'm thankful that from rockets engines to Navy ships, we are still a leader in manufacturing. In Alabama, we have the ingenuity and grit to build our own. And finally, I am thankful that you have entrusted me to serve. Growing up in rural Alabama, I did not imagine that one day I'd have the opportunity to serve the people of the State I love in this capacity.
It's an exciting time as we look ahead to 2015. Preparations for Inauguration are underway -- the ceremony takes place Monday, January 19, 2015 -- and the Legislative Session is right around the corner. In a new term, I'll continue putting Alabamians first and working to improve our quality of life and economy.
Thank you for the privilege to serve as your Lieutenant Governor.
I hope you and your family enjoy a blessed New Year! As always, please don't hesitate to contact my office if I can be of any assistance (334) 242-7900.
I am honored to serve as Lieutenant Governor of this great State. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if I may be of any assistance to you.

Project OverviewiPegs is a mobile application that has been created to reduce the use of paper by utilising tablet devices to create questionnaires, attendance registers, time-sheets and custom forms that can be completed on the device itself. iPegs was a completely new brand who approached EMS Internet and our sister company Appitized to deliver a full online solution.
The BriefWhen EMS Internet was approached by iPegs they had already developed their logo and brand identity, we worked with their designs to develop their app and website. The brief was to develop an impressive promotional site for the app to ensure it gained maximum exposure. A simple site was required, it had to be corporate without being too clinical and overly clean.
Services Rendered
Website Overview
The Solution
The use of colour was key, as the pre-set colours of the brand needed to be strategically incorporated and give the impression of an Apple-like advertising campaign. Our designers focused the design around the app itself and put together a colourful, clean and effective design, using the imagery of tablets being held by hands alongside screen shots of the app to showcase its capabilities. The homepage includes a QR code which links to the app, providing a quick and easy way to download the application. We designed the 'Features' page, true to the traditional Apple style, with alternating app screen shots and text to accompany each one. Our developers created a sophisticated user area within the website that links directly to the app, allowing easy management and the integration of users' accounts from the website. The two are linked together directly via an API.
What our website experts say
As a designer, working with a new brand is an exciting thing to do and iPegs hits the nail on the head. iPegs gave us the freedom to get a little more creative and break the boundaries with the designs we produced. We tried to create something, funky, edgy but also quite corporate and, as with any app promotional site, it was a stimulating project.

Cardiac imaging is an important cornerstone in decision making and management in cardiovascular medicine. Echocardiography and Doppler ultrasonography developed as the main and most commonly used bedside imaging techniques. Transthoracic echocardiography is an invaluable imaging technique with respect to the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. The impact of echocardiography on the change in the therapy and management of hospitalized patients was found to be as high as 57%, although changes occurred more frequently in ICU patients compared to those admitted to the hospital (54% vs 37%, respectively).1–2 Nevertheless, the transthoracic approach for echocardiography has certain specific limitations regarding the visualization of different cardiac structures and great vessels. Table 1
demonstrates in detail the potential advantages and shortcomings of both techniques. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with Doppler imaging has opened a completely different window, and has become a fascinating and appealing tool, not only for diagnosis in routine cardiology practice3 but also for perioperative hemodynamic monitoring, having a decisive impact on surgical management. Moreover, owing to its bedside availability, TEE facilitates the routine diagnosis and management of cardiovascular failure both intraoperatively and in ICU patients.4

CSU volleyball, women's golf recognized by NCAA
June 14, 2012
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Colorado State volleyball and women's golf programs were recognized Thursday by the NCAA when it released its list of teams for the APR Public Recognition Awards, which highlight programs that have posted multi-year Academic Progress Rating scores in the top 10 percent for their sport.
This year's awards, which were given out to 954 programs nationally, recognize teams for their APR performance from 2007-08 through 2010-11. Both the Rams volleyball and women's golf programs earned perfect scores of 1,000 for the four-year period.
"A good APR ranking means two things: First is you've had continuity, and second that you've had players of character," said volleyball Head Coach Tom Hilbert. "I am very proud of because I think that is what our success has been based upon. It's nice to know that if you do the right things, winning will take care of itself."
Women's golf Head Coach Angie Collier was quick to credit the time and effort put in by her student-athletes and academic support staff.
"Our student-athletes know the importance of excelling in the classroom," said Collier. "They are here to graduate first; golf and everything else is second. I am proud the direction our program is going and I attribute it to the hard work and dedication of the student-athletes and our athletic academic staff."
On the court, CSU volleyball has ranked among the nation's top programs for nearly two decades, capturing at least 20 victories and earning an NCAA tournament berth in each of the past 17 seasons. Hilbert has guided the Rams to 11 regular-season Mountain West championships since 1999, and has added five MW tournament titles to the program's trophy case.
Likewise, the CSU women's golf program has experienced great success on the links under Collier's guidance. The program has competed as a team in three NCAA regional tournaments since 2005, and 2012 senior Brianna Espinoza earned an individual bid to the regional tourney in each of the last two years. Additionally, the women's golf team has produced 13 academic All-Americans and 26 academic all-MW honorees since Collier took over the program in 2002-03.

Played in tournament. Mud for fairways. Greens ok. Shop staff stoically made one person pay for full cart and "settle up" with whoever decided to accompany; even if accompanying rider literally did not exist yet or have means (cash) to reimburse fully paying rider. Poor form. From course conditions to shop staff, poor all around.
Links style course with mostly straight and narrow holes. Excellent greens, but the fairways are mostly mud. The pace of play when we played was S-L-O-W because of a Ladies Club tournament. Make sure to check before getting a time. Also take plenty of Off as the mosquitoes will eat you up on the back nine. Very friendly staff in the pro shop.

Major Kaunda, 47, was shot several times at the front gate of his Lusaka house, as he arrived home on Wednesday evening with his wife Didi.
He was a prominent member of his 75-year-old father's United National Independence Party (Unip) and there was immediate speculation that the shooting was politically motivated, though police put it down to "bandits". He was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery to remove four bullets.
The family has faced such violence before. In August 1997, during a shooting at a rally, Kenneth Kaunda's head was grazed by a bullet. The former president said he had been the target of an attempt on his life.
The shooting of Wezi, the most politically active of his children, comes as the former president battles to maintain his Zambian nationality. Mr Kaunda, who was in power until 1991 and whose parents were Malawian-born, believes he is being targeted by the government of President Frederick Chiluba, in order to prevent him from standing in the 2001 presidential elections.
Since 1991, when President Chiluba beat him in a landslide election victory, Mr Kaunda has been accused of coup plotting, has been in jail, under house arrest, stripped of his nationality, in financial straits and on hunger strike. But, after proclaiming tearfully last year that he was quitting politics, Mr Kaunda returned to the helm of Unip in January.
To many, the worst thing Mr Kaunda ever did was to set the much-heralded example for Africa of voluntarily relinquishing power to an opponent after elections. Last week the South African leader, Thabo Mbeki, visited Zambia, his former home in exile. While supporting President Chiluba's ruling Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD), he elicited from President Chiluba a pledge that he would not stand for a constitution-busting third term in 2001.
Mr Kaunda is a lot more popular now among ordinary Zambians than President Chiluba, but only on the basis of a sentimental longing for his 27 years of gentle Christian humanism.
Moyce Kaukung'ombe, an opposition spokesman, said yesterday, in reference to the killing of Mr Kaunda's son: "We suspect this is a political incident." But a police spokesman, Richard Mwanza, merely described Wezi's assailants as "a gang of heavily armed suspected bandits".
Wezi's wife, Didi, was not injured in the shooting. Four gunmen were reportedly spotted on the scene and there were indications last night that one suspect had been arrested.
The former president, who was in South Africa when the shooting happened, and flew back yesterday, lost another son, Masuzyo, to an Aids- related illness in 1986.
December 1986: Kenneth Kaunda's son Masuzyo, dies from Aids, "in his 30s". Another reportedly on murder charge.
1991: Kaunda leaves power after gaining 24 per cent of the vote in elections.
August 1997: Kaunda grazed by bullet at rally.
He says it is attempted murder.
October 1997: Attempted coup. Kaunda accused of plotting.
Christmas Day 1997: Kaunda arrested.
January 1998: Goes on hunger strike; released.
March 1998: Kaunda stripped of his Zambian nationality. A court battle begins. Constitution amended to exclude from political office anyone who is the child of foreigners.
July 1998: Kaunda said to owe lawyers more than $600,000, visits, UK, Libya and South Africa.Reuse content

Bag O' Books: "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
better-known for his graphic novel work.
Which is why I picked up Gaiman's "American Gods" a few weeks ago. And I wish I'd enjoyed it more than I did. Which, ok, I did enjoy it a little bit. But it wasn't really absorbing. Without Pratchett's collaboration, Gaiman comes across as a very, very smart guy who's more interested in ideas than in storytelling. The end result is something cool, a bit didactic, somewhat entertaining, but never fully gripping.
Short synopsis: Our protagonist, Shadow, finishes a stint in prison only to go to work for a mysterious figure named "Wednesday." Wednesday, it turns out, is the American version of the Norse god Odin, who is rounding up all the other ancient gods brought to these shores by ancient cultures from around the world to mount a final all-consuming battle against the new gods who are displacing them in American culture -- the gods of debt, technology, credit cards and cable TV, among others.
Which gives you a taste of where "American Gods" is coming from -- a wry critique on the culture, which creates its gods in living, breathing form through the act of worship. The end battle, when it comes, doesn't really offer us insight about the critique -- it's there to round the story out. The result is a "novel of ideas" -- a term that usually describes books that are overly preachy -- that doesn't really commit to being a novel or to its own ideas.
But maybe I'm expecting too much. "American Gods" is reasonably diverting, so long as Neil Gaiman's reputation hasn't been oversold to you. And better an novel of incomplete ideas than no ideas at all.

"I've got friends who are all up in Robert Jordan's house, and I feel like I should be there with them. "
No. You most definitely should not. Jordan himself said he was going to write until they nailed shut the coffin, and he wasn't lying. The Wheel of Time started as a good series (not great), but became an excuse to keep writing and cashing checks.
It's been a while since I read American Gods, and I remember liking it, but not being blown away, like I was with Snow Crash and others of Neal Stephenson. Of course, I lost interest in him when he started his opus trilogy (quadrilogy?) of 900+ page tomes, so maybe I just have a short attention span.

If you want more storytelling than philosophizing, you might try a volume of Gaiman's short stories. I've read a couple of them, and I think they demonstrate an interesting range. Reminds me a little of Roald Dahl's non-juvenile stuff. Quirky, and sometimes very dark. I think of them as a modern version of Grimm's fairy tales, where anything can happen, including Very Bad Things.

Vaccine, Rubella]]>
Risk Factor: CM
Class: Serums, toxoids, and vaccines/ Vaccines
Contents of this page:
Fetal Risk Summary
Breast Feeding Summary
Fetal Risk Summary
Rubella (German measles) vaccine is a live, attenuated virus vaccine (1,2). Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with the vaccine.
Rubella occurring during pregnancy may result in the congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). The greatest risk period for viremia and congenital defects is 1 week before to 4 weeks after conception (3). Moreover, rubella reinfection, most often presenting as a subclinical infection that can be detected by a rise in antibody titers, may occur in previously vaccinated patients and in those who are naturally immune (4,5). The fetal risk of infection in these cases is low but has not yet been quantified.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines CRS as any two complications from list A or one complication from list A plus one from list B (3): LIST A Cataracts or congenital glaucoma Congenital heart disease Loss of hearing Pigmentary retinopathy LIST B Purpura Splenomegaly Jaundice (onset within 24 hours of birth) Microcephaly Mental retardation Meningoencephalitis Radiolucent bone disease Before April 1979, the CDC collected data on 538 women vaccinated within 3 months before or after conception with either the Cendehill or HPV-77 vaccines (3). A total of 149 of these women were known to be susceptible at the time of vaccination and the outcome of pregnancy was known for 143 (96%). No evidence of CRS or other maternal or fetal complication was found in any of these cases or in an additional 196 infants exposed during pregnancy (3). Eight infants had serologic evidence of intrauterine infection after maternal vaccination, but follow-up for 27 years revealed no problems attributable to CRS.
Since January 1979, only RA 27/3 rubella vaccine has been available in the United States. In the United States between January 1979 and December 1988, a total of 683 women vaccinated with RA 27/3 have been reported to the CDC (6). The outcomes of these pregnancies were: Total vaccinated (1/7912/88)
A 2000 report described six women who received rubella vaccine (live, attenuated vaccine strain RA27/3) either in the pre- or periconceptional periods (8). No evidence of fetal infection was observed in five of the women. In one case, however, vertical transmission of the virus was documented that resulted in persistent fetal infection. The 25-year-old woman, unaware of her pregnancy, received the vaccine 3 weeks after conception. Virus isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of amniotic fluid obtained by amniocentesis at 16 weeks' gestation confirmed the vertical transmission (8). Multiple maternal and fetal serologic and virologic testings were done throughout the pregnancy. Rising IgG titers and persistent IgM levels were measured in the fetus. At 39 weeks' gestation, a cord blood sample was positive for virus isolation and PCR. Although a persistent rubella viral infection was documented, frequent monitoring of the pregnancy revealed no pathologic findings or complications and a healthy, 3450-g male infant was delivered at 40 weeks' gestation. Apgar scores were 9, 9, and 10 at 1, 5, and 10 minutes, respectively. At 23 weeks of age, IgM, PCR, and virus isolation in his peripheral blood were negative. His growth and development have been normal up to 14 months of age (8).
Although no defects attributable to rubella vaccine have been reported, the CDC calculates the theoretical risk of CRS following vaccination with the RA 27/3 vaccine to range from zero to 1.6%, or from zero to 1.2% if data from all rubella vaccines are included (9). These risks are considerably lower than the 20% or greater risk associated with wild rubella virus infection during the 1st trimester (6). Because a theoretical risk does exist, the use of the vaccine in pregnancy is contraindicated (1,2 and 3,6,7,9). Moreover, both the manufacturer and the CDC recommend that women should avoid becoming pregnant for 3 months after receiving the vaccine (2,9). However, if vaccination does occur within 3 months of conception or during pregnancy, the actual risk, as stated above, is considered to be negligible and, in itself, should not be an indication to terminate the pregnancy (3,6,7,10,11).
Breast Feeding Summary
Vaccination of susceptible women with rubella vaccine in the immediate postpartum period is recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the CDC (1,9). A large number of these women will breast-feed their newborns. Although two studies failed to find evidence of the attenuated virus in milk, subsequent reports have demonstrated transfer (12,13,14,15 and 16).
In one case, the mother noted rash and adenopathy 12 days after vaccination with the HPV-77 vaccine on the 1st postpartum day (13). Rubella virus was isolated from her breast milk and from the infant's throat (14). A significant level of rubella-specific cell-mediated immunity was found in the infant, but there was no detectable serologic response as measured by rubella hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers (14). No adverse effects were noted in the infant. In a second case report, a 13-day-old breast-fed infant developed rubella about 11 days after maternal vaccination with HPV-77 (17). It could not be determined whether the infant was infected by virus transmission via the milk (18,19). Nine (69%) of 13 lactating women given either HPV-77 or RA 27/3 vaccine in the immediate postpartum period shed virus in their milk (15). In another report by these same researchers, 11 (68%) of 16 vaccinated women shed rubella virus or virus antigen in their milk (16). No adverse effects or symptoms of clinical disease were observed in the infants.

A mum from Middleton has handed in her notice and is planning the trip of a lifetime to Australia to see her daughter – something she never believed would be possible.
Susan Home, who plays The National Lottery online, discovered she was a millionaire early on Sunday morning by a loud bleeping on her phone. Woken by the sound she thought it was just junk mail.
"I went to look and saw it was from The National Lottery – it said I had won two Lucky Dip tickets – I was over the moon. I couldn't believe it!"
This wasn't the overjoyed mum's only mail. "I then had a further email asking me to log on to my account. I just saw zeros and I thought wow I have won £1,000. I ran into my son Lee's bedroom and asked him to check the email I was just so blurry eyed and he said … mum you are a millionaire – you have won £1Million! There are six zeros!
"It was only 6am but I was literally dancing around the house singing I am a millionaire, I am a millionaire – it is still all sinking in – I still cannot believe it!"
New Life for Susan
Susan, who worked as a warehouse operative in Middleton, is planning to use some of her new found fortune to visit her eldest daughter, Joanna, in Australia ‐ something she always dreamed of doing but never believed would be possible.
Susan said, "Joanna went travelling last November and I've not seen her since. I always hoped I would be able to visit her so I've literally been working 7 days a week and as much overtime as possible in hope that one day I would be able to save enough money to go.
"Now, thanks to The National Lottery I have – this win really couldn't have come at a better time. When I broke the news to Joanna she couldn't believe it. We can't wait to be reunited."
Susan, who also has another daughter, Natalie, as well as Lee, said top of the shopping list is a new house for herself and to pay off her current mortgage so her eldest son, Anthony, can have a place of his own.
She said, "I'm so happy that I can afford to help my son to get on the property ladder. It's every mother's dream to be able to provide for their children and this win has done just that!
"I will obviously be looking after my other children too but we have still to decide what they would like."
Susan has no intentions to stop playing the Lotto, adding, "I've never considered myself particularly lucky but this proves that anyone can win."
Over the last 22 years we've created over 4,600 millionaires and funded more than 510,000 National Lottery projects - discover more life-changing stories.Discover more

Calling Sweden: You Will Soon Be Connected to a Random Swede, Somewhere in Sweden
Marlene Breverman stashed this in It's a small world after all!
To gin up interest in the country, a Swedish tourism agency created the Swedish Number, 46-771-793-336, a single phone line that connects international callers to randomly selected Swedish volunteers to chat about whatever is on their minds.
Stashed in: Travel and Amazing Places, Nordic!, Nordic
250 years ago, in 1766, Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce a constitutional law to abolish censorship. To honour this anniversary, Sweden is now the first country in the world to introduce its own phone number. Call today and get connected to a random Swede, anywhere in Sweden and talk about anything you want.
Apparently lots of people are doing this. The little meter things were really spinning last night (PDT). I'd join in, if I was independently wealthy.
"Connect with random Swede" seems better as an app than as a phone call.

2002 Volkswagen EuroVan Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2002 Volkswagen EuroVan at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
No warning light. Pull off the road . Turn off engine . Turn back on , hard to put into gear. Nothing leaking ?
After flooring the gas pedal, the engine starts back up and idles really roughly, sometimes shuts off. After a minute or so of revving it a little, the problem goes away. On really hot days it shuts off by itself at intersections when it should be idling. Could it be some kind of vapor lock in the fuel line? Or a computer or sensor problem? The overheat light comes on at erratic intervals, even if the engine is still cold. We replaced the temperature sensor for it already. Also the fan for the air conditioning seems to run fast/slow, fast slow. No diagnostic codes about it, several car mechanics have not been able to find a solution.
It takes forever to fill it up! Any ideas on a cause/fix? The engine light stays on and say it is an "evap" problem
I want to replace the air filter and need to pull the air flow sensor.
drivers side electric window do not go up or down passangers side works i chage switch it works for a week and it broke again thanks for the help.
can someone direct me to some instructions on how to change the ect myself?
Problem originally just happened when we drove up the hill we live on with a full car. A knocking noise would occur and then stop when you let up on the gas. Problem then started to happen at different times in different driving conditions. Most recently the noise would happen when I am on the freeway at speed and the knock would start slowly and then build up to almost constantly. I just had the water pump changed, thought it was that, but problem continues with new water pump.
I replaced the ABS system in the car. The dealer, who has little experience with Eurovans, said it would be very expensive to turn the indicator lights off. Is this true, or is there a reset somewhere?
engine lights ect code dignostic po116
It seems worse in the cold, but the engine seems to crank, but seems like fuel is not getting to engine properly as sometimes the car's starts and immediately stalls, and after about 5 tries would finally start. Now cranking is a little slower. One mechanic suggest battery might be low, but everyday I try this it has enough power to crank 5-10 times, so battery is not dead, but could be low. any suggestions, could it be a fuel filter/pump? But once started car runs smoothly and idle's OK, so problem is only during starting?
I took off the engine cover, and removed the Cabin filter and found the air filter cover and one clip on the lower right rectangle of the cover. Does the hose need to be removed, and can't find any other clips. There is a circular tube on the right side of the cover with some press clips, I tried pressing, but still can't get the cover off, something else is holding it down please help?
I have had mixed replies.
thee mechanics have told me that my broken waterpump could have damaged my timing chain and could need replacement, and or dont have a chain, but just belt and would need replacing due to broken water pump.
to remove the battery, the manual says to remove the battery mount, where is it?
My question was vague...I was actually looking for the battery mount. I called Barber VW in Ventura, Calif. and the parts rep told me that there is a bolt near the front of battery area that when loosed will release the battery for removal. Thanks for the reply!

The Federal Trade Commission has appealed a recent decision by its chief administrative law judge to dismiss the FTC's data security complaint against now-defunct medical testing laboratory LabMD.
The appeal is subject to review by the full Commission, which filed the original complaint against the Atlanta-based company. FTC officials were not immediately available for comment on the case. However, if past history in similar matters is any indication, the agency will reverse the judge's decision.

Location, nature. Like 4 srars hotel, slow (not free) internet with problems most of the times. They ask me to pay the gym of the hotel 10 euro per day, and is very poor and old!!!
I liked the room very much and the food was great. Excellent facilities with a very good spa and a big pool area. The elevators were the most tiring ever. You needed a minimum of 5 minutes to go to your room. Such a 5-star hotel should have much better elevators.
I did not like the internet facilities.Poor speed and only at the lobby(Have to pay and again low speed).No internet to the rooms.
the room, the sea everything great
very nice location - the place is huge with so many things to do & see, good breakfast, beautiful surrounding area, etc, etc regular minor issues that can be met everywhere; as maybe a more important one: heating should be more generous during spring time
Many facilities Food
Location, the pool areas are devine!The room views are great!Staff are very friendly. The food was bland,we went across to Neo mamarass village on the ferry, luckily there are great resteraunts there.There are no coffee making facilities in the rooms,annoying in the morning.I Also noticed there is no kids menu for families.
The view from the rooms (rooms with view are more expensive).The casino is well organized and has a nice atmosphere. The breakfast was amazing. The marina is nice and well organized. The hotel is not as it used to be in the past. The renovation that has taken place the last years is poor. The rooms are very old. Imagine the TV was one of the oldest models i have ever seen. Its a hotel that is focusing on family-packages vacation and mass tourism. The hotel is full of children and you cannot relax not even for a minute. The beach in front of the hotel was not good. Another thing is that we had to pay in order to use the indoor swimming pool or the fitness room. 15 euro for each. This was really unacceptable. In fact, despite the fact that we were paying 216 Euro per night for a double room, nothing apart from the breakfast was included in this 216 euro. Anything you wanted to do, you had to pay for it extra.
The location is very good, the sea is clean and the swimming pools very nice. The hotel is very child friendly. The level of hotel renovation is not for a five star hotel. The lift doors were closing very quickly and without warning. This was very annoying and dangerous.
the sea and surroundings customer service , maintenance of facilities
Beautiful view. Nice clean accomodation. Convenience store reasonably nearby. Porto Carras Meliton and Sithonia Hotels are not that close. Booking.com says it is 200 meters, but that is not entirely true. The entrance to the resort is, but the Grand Hotel, Meliton, is like two kilometers away and Kelyfos is steep up the hill, difficult to come back after dark. A little bit far from the sea and most holiday things for a beach holiday if you do not have a car. With a car it is fine.
le confort et l'accueil prix plutôt élevé pour la région et peu de transport public
La nourriture était bonne. Le cadre avec vu sur mer. L'hotel est divisé en deux et traversé par une route, tout le monde n'est donc pas coté plage mais on y accède facilement par une passerelle.
It was a real beautiful experience.Although my residence was not in high season time the staff members were very helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and clean .The hotel situated in a quiet location, not far away from the city of Neos Marmaras.
Clean and very comfort rooms
Excellent breakfast, warm and friendly staff.
A well equiped hotel on a good location , close to nice beaches to spend some days of the vaccation. More emphasis and a personal touch from the working staff would be apprichiated to fill the required gaps.
large and comfortable rooms.
hotel staff and cleanliness of room they don't have pool at the hotel
kind staff, clean rooms,comfortable facilities the breakfast should be more rich
Piscine, proximité de la plage, situation de l'hotel au centre de Halkidiki. Le premier soir nous avons eu une chambre au dessus du local qui heberge le système d'air conditionné; c'était tellement bruyant que nous n'avons pas pu dormir. Le lendemain on nous a changé de chambre.

This year at least 100 quintals of silver and more than 20 kg of gold fashioned into jewelleries and 'medha', the ornate and intricate piece that forms the backdrop of the idols, at an estimated cost of over Rs 50 crore are on display during ongoing four-day festival, claimed an office bearer of Mahanagar Puja Committee, the apex body of community puja organisers here.
The Choudhury Bazar puja in the city, which is the trendsetter, has used more than 15 kg gold for the ornaments of the deities and the 'medha', says its president Ganesh Chandra Sahoo.
"Besides the ornaments of Goddess Durga and the accompanying deities, we have made gold crowns for them, including that of Mahisashura," he said, adding over three kg gold has been used in the 'medha' itself.
The Naya Sarak Puja Committee has joined the elite club of those who exhibit silver 'medha' this year. "We have used over three quintals of silver in making it (the 'medha') and a gate in the pandal for Rs 1.5 crore," said its president Sanjay Kumar Sahoo.
According to a senior police official, at least 19 puja committees in the city have put up the silver 'medhas' and five of the elite puja pandals have decorated the idols with gold crowns and jewelleries.
To add to the glitter, the 150-odd puja committees of the city are spending over Rs 15 crore for decoration of the pandals, the welcome arches and immersion procession this year, the organisers said.

Written on: 28/08/2014 by Nervous1981 (1 review written)
Went here today with my little girl. I havent ridden for many years and was very nervous to say the least. My horse came out-a giant! I almost let nerves get the better of me and didnt get on. However the lady agreed to let me mount last so I didnt have long to wait. She helped me all the way,talking and reassuring me. My little girl is a competent rider but was nervous as shes used to horses at our local stables. This was no problem, a member of staff walked with her all the way. I was walked with the entire round and was made to feel like this wasnt a problem at all. The horses are clearly looked after well and loved by all who are there. I cant thank the staff (and the horse!!) enough. I went from almost dismounting due to fear, to having an amazing time and even trotted along. Both my daughter and myself were looked after really well. Thank you all

1972 Pearson 33 - owner comments sought
Greetings all,
It's been a while since I've posted anything here, so I'll re-introduce myself.
Mark Bertsche sailing P26 Trillium #1701 out of Port Henry, NY on beautiful Lake Champlain. After 6 years with my P26 I'm ready to move up. I've got my eye on a P33 '72, 15 hp Westerbeke, tired rigging (old Schaeffer furler), sound hull and deck that I can tell. I'll be retiring in 2 years and my intent is the ICW, keys Bahamas and back each year. I have a couple of questions for owners.
Is the P33 a fairly stiff sailor?
Is the 15hp Westerbeke sufficient for the 12,000lb displacement?
Will I be able to sail to wind, board up in most cases? I know I'll loose some leeway, but I'll be cruising by then.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
P26 Trillium #1701
Can't help on the sailing...
qualities of the P33, but I heard it is a fairly decent boat and when raced in it's PHRF class, can do well, FWIW.
As fara as the Horses for the displacement, I think 15 hp may be a little on the light side. My Pearson 10M has a 27 hp and it displaces about 13,000 lbs. I have heard that the general rule of thumb is 2 hp for every 1000 lb of displacement.
15 HP will get you in and out of the harbor on a light/moderate day, but if you have to push through a lot of current, heavy chop, or strong winds, you may not have the HP to do.
A few years back, I went up a a river with the tide coming out. The river has a natural current of about 3 kts. At max ebb the current can get as high as 6 kts. It must have been close to that when I went up it as I had my motor at full power and was only doing 1 kt (SOG) with a two bladed prop. My hull speed is 7.2. Had I had a smaller motor, I doubt I could have done that.
Thanks for your thoughts. I've made my decision. I have a deposit on her.
I forgot to mention that she does have a 3 bladed prop - that should help.
As for PHRF, I probably won't be racing at all. She's going to make a great Good Old Boat with a little work.
What are these "Rep Points" and how do I give them to you? Things have changed a bit on this forum since I used to participate. It seems like Sailnet's
servers have slowed down a great deal since the old days?
I know this thread is a year old, but I wnated to check and see how you're liking your Pearson 33? I recently purchased a P-33 hull number 175, and am working through some improvements and corrections. I'm interested to see if you've had any challenges with your compression post.
The Pearson unfortunately failed survey. The foredeck was delamed very seriously and there were several other issues. The sum of which was more than I could handle. It's a shame, because we really liked the boat. Since then I have found another. Unfortunately not a Pearson.
Best of luck with your 33.
compression post??
Another year has gone by, but I've only just come accross this thread. I have a '72 Pearson 33 hull number 180. Great boat for so many reason's. If Gary is ever comes by to check this thread, maybe he (or someone else :) ) can tell me what a compression post is and what the concern is about it.
Re: 1972 Pearson 33 - owner comments sought
On a sailboat with a deck stepped mast, the compression post is under the deck (under the base of the mast) and carries the load of the mast down to the keel. Since they are often wood and can get wet from either the bilge or a leaking mast step, they often rot, causing the deck under the mast to sag.

Re: 1972 Pearson 33 - owner comments sought
Thanks MCYR!
Wow, I posted that nearly 4 years ago. I've learned a lot about sailboats since then. Actually I now have a Hunter 35.5 Legend and my Pearson 33 is for sale. Know anyone looking for a pristine P-33 at a fire sale price? Cuz I got one.

Poland's Alior says 400 mln zlotys net profit in 2015 is achievable
WARSAW Nov 6 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Polish mid-sized lender Alior Bank said on Thursday he feels comfortable with analysts' forecasts that the bank's net profit will rise to 400 million zlotys ($118 million).
"I can confirm that we will be in this forecast's range of 315-350 million zlotys this year, thanks to maintaining credit margin levels and cost cuts. Four hundred million next year is doable, but this is not a forecast," Wojciech Sobieraj told Reuters in an interview.
Alior has agreed to take over smaller rival Meritum bank. Sobieraj said in the interview he would consider further takeovers if the opportunity arises, but that Alior can't afford to buy BPH Bank which has been put up for sale by GE Money.

Jammu, July 17: Taking a serious note of the waving of flags belonging to Pakistan, Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) and ISIS by a group of youths in Srinagar on Friday, Jammu-based political leaders said that the issue was taking "an alarming proportion".
"There is an international conspiracy going on against India for the past 25 years," BJP MLA from Sunderbani Ravinder Raina said about the incident. The leader termed those waving Pakistan flags as "paid agents of Pakistan" and said that this was an attempt to create disturbance in the Kashmir valley.

"Such acts must not be tolerated. These people must be booked under sedition and strict action must be taken against them," Raina said.
Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party, said that it was high time that the government stopped talking and start acting. "This is the limit, the government should act, mere rhetoric will not do, and statements don't work. These are people who are indulging in the act of sedition and waging a war against India and its time to act," Singh said.
Congress spokesman Ravinder Sharma pointed out that the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the state proved futile. "The people of Jammu and Kashmir had lots of expectations from the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he would speak something on the security situation in the valley and the situation along the border, but he dejected the people of the state," he said.
These people must be booked under sedition and strict action must be taken: BJP
The Prime Minister visited the state today to commemorate the birth centenary of late leader Girdhari Lal Dogra.
Sharma said that waving of Pakistan and ISIS flags has become a "regular feature in the state" and the state and the central government was sending a wrong signal not only to the state but the rest of the country.
As soon as Friday prayers got over at Jama Masjid in the Nowhatta area of Srinagar, a group of youths today waved the controversial flags of Pakistan, Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) and ISIS and raised pro-separatist and pro-Pakistani slogans, officials said.

May I have the honor of presenting a tale of Le Phantôme de l'Opéra , based upon the works of Messieurs Andrew Lloyd Weber and Joel Schumacher. The original tale was compiled by Monsieur Gaston Leroux in the early twentieth century, and only recently has this information been recovered and transposed into a narrative.
"Please! Please, let me go! Stop it!" She dragged her feet, trying her best to make herself into dead weight, the term sending an involuntary shudder through her. Dead was definitely not a good thought at the moment. Her sobs wracked her entire body, gasps and breathing convulsions making her even more difficult to move forcefully, but her abductor didn't seem to notice. He just kept pulling her deeper into the vaults of L'Opera Populaire. She screamed as loudly as she could, but her tight throat would barely let the sound escape. It seemed the weak little effort was enough for him, for suddenly he turned and slapped her. His gloved hand moved to her chin, which he gripped roughly, forcing her to face him.
"Shut up, wench. No one can hear you down here, anyway. Save your energy." He grabbed her wrist again, pulling her deeper still. She was silent now, except for the dry sobs that she couldn't stop. She knew he was right. There was no one to hear her. The bright, loud world of the chorus wouldn't miss her for days, and the screams would be lost amidst their merriment. She turned back toward the way they had come, her life fading before her as quickly as the last of the lights.
Her breath caught in her throat when she saw it. Something had moved in front of the light, as covered in shadow as the caverns were. It was no rat; the cloak that trailed behind it told her that. What, who was down here? Was it an accomplice of the wretch that had her now? Was it someone who could help? Before she could answer the thought, her captor had spun her around again.
"Now, wench, let's have a little fun, eh?" He never let go of her wrist, but trailed his other hand down her throat to the neckline of her dress. She fell to her knees, her arm suspended awkwardly above her.
"No!" She protested weakly, all her strength having seemingly deserted her. He yanked her back up, and she looked away, hoping to find some solace in the darkness, something to distract her in the very least. The torch the man had lit on the wall illuminated only a small circle; the rest was shadow and stone. Except… She saw them then: eyes that burned her to look at, but she could not turn away. These eyes belonged to a man as surely as the hands on her body did. This second man was her only hope. She said nothing, hope deserting her as he turned back to the darkness. She let out a small cry, which her attacker took as a sign of fear of him.
"You're going to have a little pleasure before the pain, you little whore. You've been taunting me for weeks, so I'll sate you before I punish you. See how generous I am, you little slut!" His hand pulled violently on the fabric at her breast, ripping it from her. She let out a half scream, half groan as her shame and dread overcame her. She felt so heavy. She fell to the ground for lack of strength, and felt vaguely surprised when his hands didn't follow her down.
She turned her face upward into the brightness of the torch, and had to shield her eyes. She looked down again and saw the black fabric of a cloak next to the now trembling legs of her captor. Against the protestations of her eyes, she looked upward. She saw the passion in his eyes, though it was smoldering anger now. In one swift motion, he wrapped a rope around the man's neck and tightened it. She turned away, knowing full well what was happening. She heard the thud a few feet away and shuddered at the thought.
She spit into the darkness, trying to clear her mind of the horror and her mouth of the wretched taste of his boorish kisses. Her hands were wrapped tightly around her chest to hold the remains of the fabric in place. She was very much aware of the man still standing over her, unwavering in his compelling gaze.
She flinched when his laughter filled the small grotto. "Mademoiselle, this is certainly not the normal place to find a man and his fille de joie." His laugh was as cold as his look was fiery. "It is a more vulgar occupation that you would have guessed, judging by your reaction."
Her eyes met his fire as she turned on him. "I am a chorus girl," she shot back, her voice a quiet warning.
"Does L'Opera pay so little that chorus girls must become demimondaines to earn enough? Or is your lifestyle more than your wages can sustain?"
"I don't go to an opium den, if that's what you mean."
"Is that what I mean?" He was unused to being disputed, and it had thrown him momentarily off balance. Her vehemence was unwonted, and it disturbed him.
She cringed, sensing his anger, knowing that he could kill her as easily as he had her assailant. Fear was a sensation he was much more familiar with, and he smiled coldly again, giving her a peculiar solace.
A dank wind carried through the passage, chilling the air and reminding her of her state of undress. She shivered, and he felt a pang of remorse for provoking her, but it passed with the wind. Still, he could not leave her sit here half-naked now that she had seen him kill and heard his voice. Besides, she intrigued him, and she owed him a life-debt, something that the French townspeople took very seriously. Yes, she could be useful if the opportunity was cultivated properly.
He leaned over her, and she hung her head in resignation to the death she was sure was coming. Instead of a blow, his cloak descended upon her. "Cover yourself and follow me."
She thought of fleeing when he turned his back, but something in his voice wouldn't let her. Beyond that, her inquisitive nature prompted her to find out more about her mysterious savior. As she descended after his torch, the old adage that "the over curious are not over wise" echoed through her mind, but it was too late to turn back. She would be lost in the labyrinth passages that the sublevels of L'Opera Populaire consisted of. She looked at the fading light of the torch he carried and hastened after him. She may still be lost in the labyrinth.
She had followed him for several minutes when they entered a larger chamber than all the others. It was sparsely decorated, except for one corner where an organ was placed. That corner was as lavish as she had heard Versailles was. Fine materials were draped over the most precious of woods, and intricate ornaments lined the surfaces. Three golden candelabras sat nearest the organ, and a small lantern sat on the other. Clearly that was where most of his time was spent.
Beyond the corner was a small walkway that led to three other rooms. The first was curtained and dark, but she made out the faint outline of a half-formed table, indicating an ongoing project. The second room was small, but had drains, pumps and storage, probably a kitchen of sorts. The final room was obvious. A large, curtained bed dominated the space, but the shelves of books lining the walls caught her attention as well.
The room was horseshoe shaped around an outcropping of the underground lake, and a portcullis separated it from the water-filled passageways beyond. The man had stopped in front of her and was peering at her curiously. "What?"
"You're white. It's as if…" His eyes traveled down her body until they rested upon a crimson patch on her ruined dress that had bled through onto his cloak. The hole torn through the middle indicated a shallow but dangerous knife wound. She followed his gaze and remembered the cause of her weakness. That was why she had been unable to fight off her attacker. She blinked solidly and looked back up at him. He put the torch in a wall sconce and took her hand. "Come." He led her into the third room, placing her gently on the bed.
He stared at her now covered form and licked his lips in nervousness. He could help her, but she was a woman, and women were not exactly fond of men, particularly strange men whom they had just seen murder, seeing them in any state of undress. She needed his help, but he needed her permission for some reason he couldn't quite identify. "You are wounded," he said lamely, the obviousness of the statement painfully apparent to him. "I can help you, if you will let me."
Her eyes were becoming glassy, and he was not sure if it was to his question or simply the sound of his voice that she nodded. It would have to be enough. He poured some whiskey down her throat and arranged her near the edge of the bed. It wasn't long before she was insensible to the world around her, and the knowledge that she was insentient calmed him some. Cautiously, he removed the cloak she had gathered around herself. Her shredded bodice loomed before him like a challenge. He had to remove it to help her, but he had not touched anyone in a long time, and a woman was almost forgotten to him, but not so forgotten as to not recall the desirous sensations they stirred within him. He put it out of his mind for the moment, for both their sakes.
He set to work bathing the cut in water he had heated, then pouring the whiskey into it to cleanse it. She shifted when he did, and a half-conscious moan escaped her lips. He sewed the gash shut as quickly as he could, covering her with a blanket as soon as he was done.
He left the room and sat at his organ. He had been given a harem once, a dozen or more women at his beck and call. He had not had to wear the mask with them; they were commanded not to look upon his face. He had been loved by a woman in every way physically possible, he believed. But never more than physically and how could he blame them? How could any of those beautiful concubines truly love someone whose face was so horribly distorted? He played a loud, dissonant chord that filled the room with a noise as painful as the memories that were coming back to him. Music would not bring solace this night, and he poured himself his first glass of whiskey, waiting for sleep or death to claim him.

"When my daughter told me her theme was whales, I was happy to find this beautiful card. I had so many complements of how cute the invites are. I placed on order on a Sunday afternoon. Then on Monday morning I realized I had made a mistake. I call customer service right away and was able to quick fix the typo. I will use TinyPrints again. Happy Grandma to be"
"I'm very happy with this product and the Tiny Prints site as well. You have a great selection of baby shower invitations to choose from. The "Puppy Kisses" invitation was easy to customize and I was able to include a cute photo of the expectant mother and her two dogs on the back of the invitation. The paper quality of both the invitation and the envelope were great and the completed invitation was adorable and professional looking! I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"Bought these for my nieces baby shower. Quality product! Has the professional look I was going for, but very reasonably priced. Arrived a few days before scheduled delivery which was an added plus!"
"These invites are darling! The personalization is great, and I really loved that you could personalize the back of this invite as well- gives you lots more room to share the info you need to share about the shower! The print quality for the photo on the back is a little hazy, but not enough to sway the fact that I love these invites (and this may be partially because of the quality of the photo that I used). They arrived within days of ordering (even when the estimated arrival was about two weeks out), which I really appreciated!"
"I was looking for a unique, simple design for my daughter's baby shower invites and this was perfect! She and her husband have two dogs and they will be a big part of the new baby's life! The paper quality is nice and I like simple drawing and text. Cards arrived very quickly too!"

Evo ignorance, reasonings based on strolls down the garden path to evasion and the absurdum about majority rule, are all that evos have left. Evos can't understand anything simple let alone complicated.<quoted text>
You know they have nothing when we get the "wrong links", "confused" and "off topic" deflection tactic. I only ask simple questions that even I can understand..Like a Stator and Rotor in a flagella proton powered axial motor, or 7 or...That each stator has a cavitation torque feedback circuit to a controller, a controller that can then feed the right amount of protons or sodium ions in digital steps to keep the little guy happy, simple evo stuff like that...
A living organism is a complex factory of reproduction and entropy. Evolutionists base their claims on faith that is more non plausible than belief in a non corporeal alien form of life, God. But they have no trouble believing in dark energy and multiple dimensions. Go figure!
I am interested to hear if Subby, after all his wing flapping about whales, can even accept that every biology book and depiction of whale evolution in the world, is a misrepresentation. None state the glossy pictures are actually supposed decendants of the line whose dating makes the entire myth ridiculous. OR Will we see yet another evo that has opened his big hero mouth and then go running for the hills when exposed.

There's never been a better time to buy coffee—the shelves at cafes and food shops are overrun with beautifully designed bags of single-origin beans from small-batch roasters. There's just one problem. With amazing coffee exploding out of every market from Oakland to Tulsa, it can be hard to narrow down which beans to buy and brew. Never fear: We've rounded up eighteen of the most noteworthy roasters in the US and Canada to help you shorten your dance card. Buy from one of these companies, and you'll be minutes away from a brilliant cup of coffee.
The Pioneers
One of the first artisan coffee roasters, Intelligentsia pioneered the Direct Trade coffee movement, establishing one-on-one relationships with the growers of their beans—and also helped popularize the idea of "in season" coffee. This LA- and Chicago-based roaster continues to deliver solid, expressive roasts of a large roster of coffees month after month. And if you're in NYC, LA, or Chicago, you can also stop by one of their cafés for a cup or a class.
Another longtime leader in specialty coffee, Stumptown now has roasting locations (with stylish cafés) in Seattle, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles as well as its native Portland, Oregon. Some folks have quasi-religious attachments to their blends, like the reliable Hairbender, but the real finds are on Stumptown's impressively long list of single-origin coffees.
Ritual Coffee Roasters
This Bay Area mainstay helped make the San Francisco region the coffee mecca it is today. Their thoughtfully sourced beans are roasted with a lighter touch than North America's mainstream coffees. These punchy red bags are filled with vibrant single-origin beans and thoughtfully blended espressos, and what's more, having these beans in your kitchen will make your West Coast friends think you "get it".
PT's Coffee
Don't dismiss so-called flyover country for a lack of great coffee options. Topeka-based PT's has been cranking out coffees—for a variety of palates—for years, and if you're looking for a wide selection, these guys are a one-stop shop. They have a huge range of options, from blends to organic single-origin beans.
Counter Culture Coffee
There are few specialty roasters as well-respected as Counter Culture, from their annual reports on sourcing and pricing transparency to their weekly coffee tastings at their regional training centers—all open to the public. Lately, they've had a bit of a face-lift, rebranding their long-loved blends with cooler names and brighter bags. They're also shining a spotlight on truly special, micro-lot coffees in chic, fancy boxes.
Blue Bottle Coffee
If you've not heard of Blue Bottle by now, you surely will soon. At the forefront of the new mega-boutique wave of coffee companies, this roaster's sprung from its roots in an Oakland farmer's market to multiple locations in the Bay Area, L.A., and New York—and even two explosively popular Tokyo cafes. What's more, the quality of their coffee's been on the rise along with their global profile.
Heart Roasters
Coffee trendmakers have Portland, Oregon's Heart—a husband-and-wife-run shop with a Scandinavian roast aesthetic (i.e., lighter and more delicate), on their A-list. Sample their gentle touch on lovely Kenyan, Ethiopian, and Colombian single origins, or check out their seasonally fresh Stereo blend.
Madcap Coffee Company
Headquartered in the infrequently paired cities of Washington, DC and Grand Rapids, MI, Madcap Coffee has been roasting crowd-pleasing quality coffees for seven years. From regular favorites like their Colombia San Sebastian to extremely limited offerings like their Varietal series, a multi-tin tasting sampler, they offer a consistently intriguing variety of coffees year-round.
49th Parallel Roasters
It's a mistake to overlook our friends north of the border, and some of Canada's coffee roasters—like the long-established, consistently excellent 49th Parallel—are worth the extra initiative to check out. If you're an espresso drinker, their modern, sweet Epic blend is a perennial hit, while the single origins—never too dark—are always beautifully expressed.
Ceremony Coffee Roasters
From the finest roasters in Annapolis, Maryland come wonderful coffee selections from Ceremony, a charming company making strides up and down the Eastern seaboard. They take themselves seriously—their home base hosts cup-tasting competitions—but not too seriously. "Chocolate doughnut aromatics," anyone?
Beauty Queens
Parlor Coffee
Ever since this emerging coffee company began serving their own roasts out of the back of a Williamsburg barbershop, they've turned heads (and not just because of their gorgeous packaging). Led by a Stumptown alum, Parlor offers a small, ever-changing selection of delicately roasted beans you can order online from around the world—if it's too tough for you to make it to the barbershop, that is.
Sightglass Coffee
A more recent comer to the San Francisco game, Sightglass inspires just as much love as the city's long-established boutique brands. Their café in South of Market is one of the country's most striking, and their on-the-lighter-side roasts are presented in the most adorable Kraft bags with handsome info tags—each time you get one, it's like buying a wrapped coffee present for yourself.
Olympia Coffee Roasting Co.
One of the Pacific Northwest's finest artisan roasters is located not in Seattle or Portland, but rather between the two, in the small Washington town of Olympia. There, in a region where coffee roasting is almost as popular as beards or beer, Olympia Coffee Roasters devotes loving care to everything from bean sourcing to the almost unbearably handsome packaging.
Up and Comers
Ruby Coffee Roasters
What happens when a former Intelligentsia roaster heads back from the sunny traffic of LA to his native Wisconsin, with carte blanche to build whatever kind of roastery he wants on his family land? Magic, apparently, in the form of constantly excellent beans from Ruby Coffee, whose Amherst Junction, WI operation turn out aptly nicknamed "colorful coffees" with a focus on freshness and careful roasting. One of the best!
Nobletree Coffee
Not every startup roastery has its own experimental farm in Brazil and plans for a cafe in the new World Trade Center, but then, Nobletree is not every startup roastery. Look for balanced, diverse origins from this Red Hook, Brooklyn newcomer, alongside, of course—plenty of beautiful Brazilian coffees from a team with the inside track.
Onyx Coffee
It's always exciting to see great coffee taken seriously in places you might not expect, and Fayetteville, Arkansas' Onyx Coffee is a great example. From the intricately conceived bags to the roaster's own initials on each batch, this roaster is taking all aspects of craft roasting to the max, showcasing classic styles of coffee like funky, natural-processed Ethiopians to experimental, lactic-acid-processed (!) micro-lot coffees.
Tandem Coffee Roasters
Portland, Maine isn't the "other" Portland to those who know about the great food scene there, and in recent years, the city's finally birthed a coffee roaster worthy of the city's restaurants. Ex-Blue-Bottle-employees Will and Kathleen Pratt, with the help of their toddler Claude, deliver some of the best coffees to come out of the Northeast, served out of cafés from Columbus to Montreal.
Café Grumpy
Growing from a community-based coffee house (and occasional TV filming set) to one of the US' best quietly-puttering-along roasters, Brooklyn's Café Grumpy continues to advance in both size and quality. A modestly sized, seasonally changing list of single-origin coffees is joined by the Heartbreaker espresso blend, and—we're not kidding here—consistently great single-origin decaffeinated coffees.
