No, these do not use batteries whatsoever. This also means they don't have active noise cancellation.

Women demand a 5% slice of the world's trillion dollar military pie which would provide a banquet for the world's poor.We demand our full sexual and reproductive rights and freedoms.We demand the right to credit and land and full access to the economy. We demand an end to hypocrisies and the birth of real democracies where women share 50% of the political and economic decision-making space and resources. Yes, we are demanding bread and roses. They may have raped, beaten, battered, burned and even bored us and still we resist.... Women will not simply be mainstreamed into the polluted stream.Women are changing the stream, making it clean and green and safe for all - every gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, age and ability.Each of us has the power within! We will not be bullied, silenced or stopped. We will take our place as 50% of humanity. We will go forward!" Notes1.

Mayor gets a slice of the action at Emmaus community centre
3:52pm Friday 20th December 2013 in Winchester By Lauren Howard, Reporter
THE OPENING of a new accommodation block at a homelessness hostel was attended recently by the Mayor of Winchester.
Cllr Ernie Jeffs was invited to cut the cake to mark the occasion by the recently retired chair of Emmaus Hampshire, Alison Thompson MBE last Wednesday (December 11).
Cllr Sue Nelms and Cllr Chris Pines also attended and were thanked for their support over the years.
Ms Thompson said: "This marks the end of a six month project to increase our accommodation to 26 spaces. We are most grateful to those of our supporters who helped to fund the venture."
The Emmaus Hampshire Community opened in March 2009 to help homeless people work towards independent living through volunteer work and education courses.

include roads and streets, furnishings such as lights
or benches, vegetation, gardens and yards, adjacent
open space such as fields, parks, commons or woodlands,
and important views or visual relationships.
Retaining the historic relationship between buildings
and landscape features of the setting. For example,
preserving the relationship between a town common and
its adjacent historic houses, municipal buildings, historic
roads, and landscape features.
Altering those features of the setting which are important
in defining the historic character.
Altering the relationship between the buildings and
landscape features within the setting by widening existing
streets, changing landscape materials, or constructing
inappropriately located new streets or parking.
Removing or relocating historic buildings or landscape
features, thus destroying their historic relationship
within the setting.
Stabilizing deteriorated or damaged building and
landscape features of the setting as a preliminary measure,
when necessary, prior to undertaking appropriate preservation
Failing to stabilize a deteriorated or damaged building
or landscape feature of the setting until additional
work is undertaken, thus allowing further damage to
the setting to occur.
Protecting and maintaining historic building materials
and plant features through appropriate cleaning, rust
removal, limited paint removal, and reapplication of
protective coating systems; and pruning and vegetation
Protecting building and landscape features against
arson and vandalism before preservation work begins

IDS's decision to enter new markets was made easy through the longstanding experience, professionalism & market knowledge that the Melbourne IT Group brought to the partnership.
- Sebastian Jagoszewski, Managing Director,
International Data Solutions (IDS)
"As the CEO of DirectoryAustralia it is a pleasure to work with Melbourne IT- they have provided us first class service for the past 10 years and we look forward to our continued mutually beneficial relationship."

International Data Solutions (IDS) is an IT solution provider which offers end-to-end support to its customers - from determining business needs to implementing the technology components. IDS combines technical expertise with superior professional service to deliver IT solutions that work for its customers. The Challenge
IDS's growth strategy was to diversify into new markets, to do this, the company had to find a way to deliver a service and product range that surpassed its competitors' offerings. A major concern was being able to deliver excellent customer service by providing guaranteed solutions that were both cost effective and timely in implementation, and could meet their customers' requirements.
IDS realized that in order to reach its growth objectives, it needed to partner with a provider who could support the business with the products and services required. IDS chose Melbourne IT for its best-of-breed solutions and superior customer service.
IDS migrated to Melbourne IT's Reseller Application Programming Interface (API) to streamline all their domain name registrations and increase efficiency for their business.
"Melbourne IT provides a one-stop shop, enabling us to manage the entire solution and implementation without outsourcing to a number of different partners. Having one point of contact ensures smooth integration and implementation for our customers," said Sebastian Jagoszewski, IDS Managing Director.
Melbourne IT's products integrated with IDS's internal systems and website very efficiently and effectively, minimizing the impact on their current infrastructure and processes. This enabled a seamless transition once the complete suite was integrated into IDS's solutions and services, all without large budget outlays or prolonged downtime of their current infrastructure during the integration process.
IDS's decision to enter new markets was made easy through the expertise, professionalism and market knowledge that Melbourne IT brought to the partnership. IDS was able to concentrate on executing its market strategy without having to worry about managing the actual solution, infrastructure and performance.
The partnership has enabled IDS to offer end-to-end solutions at competitive prices to keep the company's growth strategy on target.

Since the beginning of time, women have had to fight for recognition. Women had to fight to vote. Women had to fight to work. Women even had to fight to wear the clothes they liked.
Thirty-one years ago women were fighting off unusual symptoms. Thirty-one years ago women were fighting to be diagnosed. Thirty-one years ago women were fighting to stay alive.
However, the fight is not over and is perhaps just beginning. Women, both affected and infected, must gather their strength and remember those who have gone before them. We must never go back to 1981 . We must run our lives as if we are the female CEO of our own company. We must meet with our "Board of Directors" for input. We must set a strategic plan for "Women AIDS, Inc." We must be the most important person in our life!
We invite you to read this humble history of women and HIV and decide what you can do to add to the history of HIV and women.

La Oroya is a city of 30,000 located high in the Peruvian Andes. The smelter operated by Doe Run emits large amounts of toxic heavy metals and sulfur dioxide into the environs of the city. The contamination is so severe that a recent study by the company and health authorities showed that 99.9 percent of the children in the neighborhood closest to the smelter had blood lead levels that exceed acceptable levels. This study did not examine the blood lead levels of children more than six years old, nor did it evaluate residents of the other neighborhoods in the city, all of which are also highly contaminated.
The court's decision resolves a lawsuit filed by the Peruvian Society for Environmental Law (SPDA). The ruling, issued after more than two years of litigation, declares that government authorities have failed to comply with the National General Health Law, the National Air and Environmental Quality Standards, and a Supreme Decree regarding declaring States of Emergency in cases of contamination.
According to the Judge, there is no doubt that in La Oroya, "air contamination far surpasses permissible levels," including substantially exceeding the recommendations by the World Health Organization.
"This decision confirms the urgent need to implement measures to protect the health and lives of the people in La Oroya that are affected by the smelter" said Carlos Chirinos, the attorney at the SPDA handling the case. "We will closely monitor compliance with the court order, to ensure improvements in the quality of life and health for the populace, and the economic benefits that this will bring to the region," he added.
The ruling also orders the health agencies to develop and implement a plan to address the State of Emergency. This includes immediate measures to reduce contamination to levels where air quality protects public health. Additionally, the authorities must design and implement a public health strategy to protect vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, infants, and the elderly, and to better define the public health risks faced by the city. Finally, the judge ordered the authorities to undertake epidemiological and environmental monitoring programs in La Oroya.
"The court's decision comes at a key moment for La Oroya, and leaves no question as to the failure of the government to protect the fundamental rights of La Oroya citizens," said Anna Cederstav, a scientist who works with Earthjustice and AIDA. "Now, our efforts must focus on the implementation of appropriate measures to reverse the public health crisis in the city and nearby communities."
Although the health authorities recently announced a medical intervention program to treat the most severely poisoned children in the La Oroya Antigua neighborhood, the proposed program fails to consider harms suffered by the many thousands of other children and adults in the city. It also does not contemplate health impacts caused by other toxic contaminants, including arsenic, cadmium, and sulfur dioxide, all of which are present at high levels.

Quantity in Basket: None
Code: PriRacEXO3Tour
Price: $149.00 ($139.00) buy 2 or more
Prince EXO3 Tour Squash Racquet Details

Description of the Racquet
The Prince EXO3 Tour Squash Racquet is new for the 2011 - 2012 season. It features Prince's EXO3 Technology but unlike last years EXO3 teardrop frame shape this has a "square" head and features improved power ring technology.

More Information
Need Help Selecting a Racquet? SquashGalaxy Exclusive Racquet Ratings.
If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Gamma Hi Tec. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase. It has a great tacky feel and sticks to your hand even when it gets wet.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

All the Wrong Emphasis: Reuters' Best Images of Year Exif Data
This morning our pals at PopPhoto tweeted, "The most popular photography story this morning is the Exif of Reuters' best images of the year. Not the pictures. Doing it wrong." I have to agree with them here. Instead of focusing on the images, the story is instead focused on what they were shot with. Is that what we are reduced to? Oogling over gear?
Published originally on November 30, Reuters released 95 photos that they categorized as the best images of 2012. The images are of course amazing and deserve a look, but that's not where the emphasis is being put this morning. Instead, sites are focusing on the gear, the numbers, and the cameras. And I get it, gear is interesting and maybe this data is cool, but I strongly believe that the emphasis on what we are shooting with is overshadowing what we are shooting.
Philip Bloom recently urged his readers to stop being so gear-centric when he read the comments on his facebook in reply to a piece he recently completed. Bloom makes a great point:
"Please this is about a piece of work that I am sharing. Not about gear. Very disheartening.
When I say it's not about gear I mean this post and this film is something I want to share as its special to me.
I love gear. Don't get me wrong and I explain what I use all the time and in depth even in this post but the first two comments on here are utterly unrelated to my post I find it incredibly disheartening. Both felt like smacks in the mouth. The first one from a guy who just obsesses about which camera is best in low light and won't leave me alone and the second basically who cares about this post tell us about yet another new camera. Ouch.
Without a story what is the point of gear? If you are learning then seeing how different people tell stories and why they tell them and how they tell them is more important than knowing the gear side.
The gear side is easy to pick up. What takes time is the rest.
My site is split up 50/50 technical and creative. Both are incredibly important to me.
But what makes me happy? Is it gear or is it creating? Take a guess. If you think it's the former then I should go work at a camera dealer. All the cameras you want there!!"
Large photography sources making a big hubub over exif data overshadows the real reason we all shoot: the art, the passion and the subject. I agree with Bloom, I love gear. I love looking at new stuff and playing with lenses, bodies and software. But that's not why I do what I do. Stories that focus on the gear over the subject like this only perpetuate the "oh those are great pictures! You must have a nice camera" stigma none of us are fond of.
So if you care about the exif data and the lenses and the ISO and whatever, you can read the data. Me? I'm going to enjoy the images and applaud the photographers, not their expensive equipment.

The Wendell family doesn't usually do too much together; the parents work a lot, and the kids have developed their own lives. This year however, Norm, the Wendell patriarch, has decided to schedule a family vacation. He rents a van and a camper trailer, forces everyone inside, and the family sets off on a week of heavily-scheduled fun.
With all four Wendells in a confined space, motoring between tourist attractions, scenic vistas and the occasional point of interest, the trip turns out to be a disaster - in fact, an actual disaster - Norm accidentally drives the van over a cliff!
The van plummets 2 miles straight down into a canyon. When the Wendells stumble out, they realize that not only are they alive, but also that they are not alone. The same fate has befallen several others before them, and the Wendells are just the newest residents of a community of everyone else that's driven, cycled, sky-dived, or even crashed their NASA landing capsule there.
So, the Wendells live in their camper trailer in the heart of a shanty town of all the other crashed vehicles, scattered wherever gravity set them down. Their neighbors include an astronaut and his chimp companion, a wealthy family (who live in the summer house they were transporting), a has-been British punk rocker and many more. All these characters hope to escape, but until one of their plans actually work, they make up this impromptu community known only as "Crash Canyon". And who knows who's gonna drop in next?!

TOPSHAM - It's still spring, and ripe tomatoes are not yet even a glimmer in Mother Nature's eye, but Pete and Kathy Karonis are already thinking about what they're going to do with their tomato harvest from Fairwinds Farm.
Tod Yankee, left, and Jamien Richardson talk with Kathy and Pete Karonis at the Karonises' Fairwinds Farm in Topsham. The farmers plan to sell some of their crops to Maine Harvest Co., a new enterprise being started by Richardson and Yankee in the former Navy Commissary in Topsham.

Tod Yankee, left, and Jamien Richardson visit with Kathy and Pete Karonis in a greenhouse at the Karonises' Fairwinds Farm. Yankee and Richardson's Maine Harvest Co. will provide "us, the farmer, an opportunity to market some of our seasonal produce throughout the whole season," said Pete Karonis.

They would like to freeze some of their harvest, Kathy Karonis tells Jamien Richardson of the Maine Harvest Co. during a meeting at the farm, but "I've been looking for some frozen tomatoes, and I can't find any."
Richardson tells the couple there are pureed tomatoes on the market, but right now there are no local food processors freezing them whole. That will change when Richardson's new venture, a light processing facility for Maine-grown fruits and vegetables, launches this summer in the former Navy Commissary located in Topsham Commerce Park.
"We're going to do three kinds" of tomatoes, Richardson explained to the Karonis. "We have potential to do whole frozen and whole green (tomatoes), and we're also going to do crushed and pureed. We've been asked to do crushed and pureed, both with seeds and without seeds, and so we're going to do some experimenting about that. A lot of the high-end Italian restaurants want tomato puree with no seeds, and that's a base for pretty much everything they make."
After years sitting empty, the Navy Commissary is being purchased by Hilary Rockett, owner of JHR Development, and Maine Harvest Co. (MHC) will be the building's first tenant. The hope is that the 12,000-square-foot food processing facility will be the first step in turning the entire area into a local "food hub" filled with bakeries, breweries, coffee roasters or other related small businesses.
Rockett, who also developed Brunswick Station, sees such potential in the project he is also seeking an option on the entire 12-acre Topsham Commerce Park, formerly known as "The Triangle."
This isn't just a good deal for the developer. Later this year, consumers will be able to find refrigerated or frozen local produce from this year's harvest in small natural food markets.
Each MHC package will have a label that spells out the origin of the product. An example: "Grown by Spears Farm/Nobleboro, Maine/Processed 35 miles from the farm."
For farmers, the project opens up new markets for their crops, as well as new ideas for how to use them.
"It provides us, the farmer, an opportunity to market some of our seasonal produce throughout the whole season," Pete Karonis said. "The green beans, the strawberries, the tomatoes, broccoli, those kinds of things -- we can now market them in a fresh-frozen state to our winter farmers market customers. We find that the winter farmers markets are very profitable for us. We think that's providing us another opportunity for us to sell something really good to local consumers."
Karonis said he anticipates selling 10,000 pounds of plum tomatoes to MHC this year.
Selling to Maine Harvest will also save the Karonises time. The couple harvests 10 acres of strawberries every year, and have been freezing them (along with some raspberries) themselves the past couple of years to sell at the winter farmers' market.
"We like this process better," Kathy Karonis said. "We're interested in just sending them down to the Maine Harvest Co. and having them just freeze them up for us. We just don't have time during strawberry season, and we can't do it the way they do it. We don't have the machinery."
Richardson and her business partner, Tod Yankee, also plan to market Maine produce to schools, hospitals, large hotels and other institutions. (The Karonises sold several thousand pounds of fresh and frozen strawberries to the Portland school district last year.)

The double pendulum is an experiment for teaching linear and, to some extent, nonlinear methods of control theory. The pendulum is driven by a DC motor, and the angles that the links make are measured by two high-resolution encoders. The controller is realized in a target computer, and the controllers are synthesized on a host computer. A full and accurate Simulink® model of the plant exists. The real-time software is realized using Simulink Real-Time™.
The use of the pendulum experiment requires MATLAB, Simulink and Control System Toolbox for controller design and simulation, plus Simulink Coder, and Simulink Real-Time for controlling to the experiment hardware.

Great Kids, Great Families
St. Mary Parish School opened its doors in 1916 and has been providing a great education for its students ever since. The parents of St. Mary's will be contributing to this blog which will update the community on Great Kids; Great Families. Visit our web site at www.faithwebsites.com/stmaryschool.
WASHINGTON, D.C. While auto manufacturers, secondary mortgage lenders and investment bankers are reaping billions of dollars in federal funds, there is one entity that is saving the nation billions – the network of almost 7,400 Catholic schools across the country.
According to Karen Ristau, president of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), Catholic schools provide $19.8 billion in savings each year for the nation. The figure is based on the average public school per pupil cost of $8,701 and the total Catholic school enrollment of more than 2.2 million students.
"BOOKS FOR KIDS"One of our service projects during Catholic Schools Week was a book collection for needy children in the Milwaukee area. We were AMAZED by the hundreds of gently used books that were donated by our school families! There was a wonderful variety of books from K4 - Junior High levels.
The teachers sorted the books by reading level and Mr. Paul delivered them to the "Next Door Foundation" on N. 29th Street in Milwaukee. This group serves about 500 children daily and provides each child in the Head Start and Charter School Program two books per week from October through May. They need 25,000 books to distribute annually and our donation was greatly appreciated.
Because of the thoughtfulness and generosity, more Milwaukee children now have books of their own.

Temple Fork Rods
by Bill Leuchten
There is a glut of low-cost introductory soft action rods on the market. They are forgiving and easy to cast but lack in power and have some other performance issues. I've also tried some stiff fast action rods that were under $200 and performed like a broom handle, unable to load at short distances and very unforgiving. One thing I have gleaned from casting a lot of rods at all different price points is that it seems to be difficult to manufacture a truly decent fast action rod at an economical price.
I've recently tried the new Temple Fork Outfitters rod line, which is endorsed by Lefty Kreh, and was very impressed. Their $200 TiCr series is a fast action rod that will throw fly line like the best of them and yet has a supple tip for loading the rod at short distances. The rod taper really loads the rod in a smooth and consistent way so it is forgiving if you start your forward cast too early or late. (Some rods try to get their power too quickly down the taper of the rod resulting in unforgiving stiffness.)
They also offer the Professional series model. It's a medium-fast rod in the $140 range that is also a pleasure to cast. It will be very hard to match its performance vs. price. These come in 2pc., 4pc., and even 6pc.! They even offer a 2 wt., which is very unusual in this price range.
So what are the drawbacks? And while we're at it, why would
you consider spending $600 on another rod if the performance can be had
for much less? Weight is a consideration. The new more high-end graphite
composites are noticeably strong and light and the aesthetics and attention
to detail are excellent. The TFO rod is a little on the heavy side, which
affects the feel of the rod. The finish on it is also not of the high
caliber you would see on a higher end rod. But if you can put these issues
aside the TFO line should be something you might consider. Many people
take an economical route to round out their rod arsenal, and this line
is perfect for that. Feel free to come into the shop and cast a couple
of them.

Had things gone a different way, then wrestling fans might have never heard of Tajiri. The former WWE and ECW star had initially began training for a career in kickboxing, but changed to professional wrestling after watching several matches from Mexico.
January 20, 2014
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
January 25, 2004
Under a cloud of controversy, Tajiri defeated Dr Wagner Jr to capture the CMLL Light Heavyweight Championship in Tokyo, Japan. However, the promotion in Mexico refuses to acknowledge this reign, as they did not give permission for the title change to happen.

I ruptured my spleen when I was nine years old when I hit a tree sledding. They removed a large amount of blood from my chest cavity as well as the spleen in a 6 hr surgery. It was 1969 and no one knew what the long term effects would be. Luckily, all Carl may need in the future is a Pneumococcal vaccine.
Pitcher Carl Pavano 'lucky to be alive' after snow shoveling accident
14-year veteran starting pitcher Carl Pavano was let go this offseason after four seasons with the Minnesota Twins and is still in search of a job. But his current worries go beyond baseball — "I'm just lucky to be alive," he told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Joe Christensen this week.
After ramping up his workouts and free-agent negotiations with teams following the holidays, Pavano had a "freak accident" while shoveling snow at his Vermont home on Jan. 12, according to the report.
The 37-year-old slipped on ice and fell onto a shovel handle, which jammed into his midsection. Four days later, he felt "sudden wave of abdominal pain and nausea" — he had lacerated his spleen.
By the time he finally had surgery to remove the spleen, on Jan. 19, doctors first had to remove 6 1/2 liters of blood from his chest cavity.
He said he lost 35 pounds in three weeks. At least he can laugh about it now. At 230 pounds, he's as trim as he was as a rookie, he said, but too weak to lift his kids, ages 3 and 4.
By Saturday night, Pavano's blood count had dropped dangerously low, and one of his lungs collapsed, he said. Alissa called her doctor in Florida, seeking another opinion, and he urged them to find a trauma center.
"He said I was on borrowed time," Pavano said. "So we went to Hartford Hospital. That's the No. 1 trauma center in the area."
Doctors there gave Pavano a blood transfusion and performed splenic embolization, blocking the blood supply to his spleen.
"I was hours away from going into cardiac arrest and probably wouldn't even be here," Pavano said.
Pavano, who became notorious in New York for spending so much time on the disabled list after signing with the Yankees, will have to wait for his incision to heal and then work for several weeks or even months to regain his strength, but is determined to pitch again.
The 37-year-old owns a 108-107 career record and 4.39 ERA.
Poor guy, I doubled over in pain just reading this! Wishing him the best in his recovery
"doctors first had to remove 6 1/2 liters of blood from his chest cavity"
The following is a quote from a google of "how much blood can a person lose and still live":
A Class III Hemorrhage is 30 to 40% loss of blood. In an 80 kg person this would be about 2.24 liters. At this level the heart will be beating very fast, trying to keep up with the bodies needs. The person will look very pale, and start to be confused. This person is in shock, and in trouble. Fluids are needed very quickly.
A Class IV Hemorrhage is as described above. This is usually greater than 40% and in an 80 kg adult this would be more than 2.24 liters. The body can no longer keep up with the blood loss and the person is in serious trouble. Without very fast help the person will die.
What BS! It's impossible to have almost 2 gallons of blood in your chest cavity and not be a zombie.
Who writes this crap????
I would at least get a heated sidewalk and driveway. eliminates that hassel. Not like he can't afford it. Don't be a penny pitcher, I mean pincher.
Why does a guy who has earned over a $100 Million in his career not pay someone to do that? Let the experts do their job. We need the work. I don't go pitch. Hire someone next time buddy.
Holy balls. Scary. If you lose 10 lbs in a week though, isn't that a sign of something probably wrong?
hey opaque5 does your name stand for the fact that you hide behind the internet to insult people who had a near death experience or the fact that you are that callous and stupid?
Hey Carl, couldn't you buy a snow blower with all of the money you stole from the yankees!!!
@FeliciaFitzgerald It's worse than being a zombie. The typical adult has only 5 liters TOTAL. Losing 6.5 would be a record worthy of the Hall of Fame. I suspect this writer won't be collecting a Pulitzer any time soon.
@eddie577 Or live in a warm weather place during the winters....uh, c'mon, the dude can afford a $200K~$300K place in some small town in Texas, Florida or Arizona.
@opaque5 LMAO....another disgruntled Spankees fan!
He's lucky to be alive after stealing all that money in New York.

Say the word "pie" and most folks will turn their thoughts to pumpkin, pecan or coconut cream.
But long before pies was reserved for the dessert table, they were savory fare — crusts filled with meat, vegetables and more.
Baking ingredients inside a crust was — and still is — a good way to use up leftovers or to turn a small amount of meat into a meal. And with Thanksgiving leftovers in the offing, savory pie recipes couldn't be more timely.
Classic pot pie is one of the best-loved savory pies, and can be made with or without a bottom crust. Ladle hot filling into a casserole or ramekins, and all the dish needs is a topper of pie crust or puff pastry.
Turkey, chicken, beef or ham, combined with gravy and vegetables, baked into a rich crust is one of the ultimate comfort foods.
While it looks time-consuming, a pot pie can be quickly assembled using leftover turkey (or meat pulled from a grocery-store rotisserie chicken), frozen vegetables, and pre-made pie crust or thawed sheets of frozen puff-pastry dough.
And nobody does it better than the Brits. Tart It Up! (Mitchell Beazley, $19.99), a new book from British television chef Eric Lanlard, is devoted to sweet and savory pies and tarts. Lanlard offers recipes for traditional European dishes: French quiche, Brittany seafood tart and Iberian chicken pie laced with paprika and cayenne.
Likewise, British chef Jamie Oliver, in his new book Jamie Oliver's Great Britain (Hyperion, $35), explores pub fare and comfort foods, from shepherd's pie under a crown of mashed potatoes to Cornish pasties, which were the traditional lunch for tin miners in England's Cornwall County.
With cooler weather upon us — and a bounty of holiday leftovers ahead — consider baking up some comfort food in a crust.

Is there anything I can do to expedite that transformation? some of the transofrmation stories indicate forty minutes of ardio instead of twenty. I have ten weeks until I see my husband, not twelve. I will be with him during weeks 11 and 12. I want to look significantly better (different) than I do now. Thank you.
YOu guys are the best.
Stick with the program and you will look significantly different.
As far as speeding the change up by adding cardio, the answer is probably not.
First off if you are doing the cardio correctly then you won't be able to do 40 minutes.
Not saying you can not do 40 minutes of heavy cardio, but if you are giving your true 9's and 10 where you are supposed to then you will be spent at the end of 20 minute.
The other thing is after about 20 minutes you body stops burning fat cells for energy and starts attacking the muscle which will actually slow your results.
Now, you could possibly do a little lighter cardio on your non cardio days but I wouldn't do it thinking it will speed your results up. First off the more you do, the more you will need to eat.
I thought about it myself, but not for the purpose of getting faster results but instead for increased endurance since I am planning on entering a mudder (warrior dash) in the fall which is about a 3.5 mile mud race/obstacle course. However, for now I am going to hold off and worry about that as I get closer to the time of the race.
I do plan on doing something physical though on my off days.
Not necessarily a work out, for instance today I went indoor rock climbing.
Or I might do some mountain biking or whatever.
The 3 biggest mistakes people make when trying to get in shape is
1) Doing too much aka over training.
2) Not eating enough
3) Expecting too much too fast. - It can be just plain discouraging.
It took you X number of years to get in the condition are in, don't expect results over night.
That all being said, I guarantee you that if you stick with the program to the letter, don't cheat except on your cheat days (but don't over do it) your husband will notice an amazing difference in 10 weeks.
Good luck and happy training.
All good observations
Than k you all - I must say there is no way I can do more than 20 minutes of cardio...I am spent at 18 minutes! In 9 hours and 24 minutes I will be 68. So far. I've stayed with the program - workouts/cardio, and eating. I'm using Myoplex - and recently purchased Betagen - wondering when to start using it. I will begin my 4th week Monday, I've lost 6 pounds, and 4 inches off my waist. Sooooo - so far so good. Thanks again. Love this forum!
You are doing great!! Keep it up. Even after 10 weeks you will see signifigant improvements. All the best!!

Crimson and jade hues welcome visitors to Jade's Restaurant, where tall palms stretch up from pots and servers bring plates of steamy Chinese food to booths and tables. Etched glass screens, depicting pandas, tigers, and flowers, separate sections of the restaurant. Within those areas, the staff serves ginger beef, orange shrimp, or salt and pepper calamari. Classic favorites such as spicy Hunan pork and sesame chicken intermingle with creative preparations like pineapple-flecked Hawaiian chicken with crispy Chinese greens and fried scallops stir-fried with hot peppers. On certain nights, Jade serenades patrons with the sounds of live music, karaoke, or wok vegetables sizzling to the tune of any requested top 40 hit.
The inventive chefs at Fresh Taste of Asia pepper the restaurant's Asian fusion fare with Sichuan and Japanese influences. The menu borrows flavors from pan-Asian locales to construct sumptuous region-specific specialties such as hunan spicy Chilean sea bass ($18.95), singapore rice noodles ($9.25), and pad thai ($8.75). A variety of classic sushi rolls encompasses morsels of spicy tuna ($6.50) and shrimp tempura ($8.95) alongside a classic california roll ($6.25) that comingles crabmeat, avocado, and cucumber borne to the table on Santa Ana winds. The Godzilla roll's crisp-fried yellowtail, crabmeat, and avocado ($10.75) combine forces to conquer the culinary skyline, and the Goldfish maki ($10.95) intersperses its tempura-crumb cortex with flavors of eel, shrimp, salmon, and avocado.
All Seasons Table Restaurant serves up pan-Asian cuisine that integrates influences from Japanese, Thai, and Malay traditions. The chef crafts gourmet versions of familiar Chinese-American fare, from spicy General Gau's chicken to mongolian sesame shrimp. Diners can sample filets of meat and fish hot from the grill and coated in the Asian-style sauce of their choice. The kitchen also works wonders with lamb and duck—including a marinated half peking duck, which is roasted until tender and served with a feast of pancakes, vegetables, and hoisin sauce.
Chinese and Japanese culinary traditions unite inside the walls of Asia Palace, appeasing polar cravings with meals ranging from spicy General Tso's chicken, scorched with red peppers, to sushi hand rolls with cooling ingredients such as cucumber, raw salmon, and creamy avocado. The sushi bar also churns out specialty sushi rolls with some heat, including the wasabi roll with tuna and yellowtail as well as the lobster roll topped with crunchy spicy tuna. Classic dishes from other areas of Asia include pad thai with peanuts and egg; singapore rice noodles with wok-fried shrimp, pork, and chicken in a curry sauce; and lychee nuts—which are played with in place of marbles in Korea.
A banner printed with tiny white fish flutters above Ma Soba's sushi bar, where chefs in pert white hats tuck ribbons of fish atop rice and seaweed. In the kitchen, stovetops sizzle with Chinese, Korean, Thai, and other Asian dishes, such as bulgogi, tempura-battered seafood and vegetables, and entrees spiced with chili-and-ginger general tso's sauce. Wine and water goblets moor maroon tablecloths in the softly lit dining room, where potted orchids and bromeliads complement a Japanese screen painted with branches and cherry blossoms. Ma Soba also packs entrees into tidy containers for carryout and delivery orders to offices, homes, and tree houses.

Sponsored by the Union for Reform Judaism, the ad offered three free weekly sessions "exploring the modern Reform Jewish perspective on living in today's world," and in boldfaced letters it stated, "For beginners, Jewish or not."
"Or not" being the operative word.
In the past decade, as Jewish leaders grapple with how assimilation and intermarriage have affected the numbers of Jews, many Jewish organizations, temples and synagogues are increasing efforts to reach out to teach Judaism -- both to secular and unaffiliated Jews, as well as to interfaith families.
"In-reach" and "Outreach" these efforts are called.
But this program, called "Taste of Judaism," which has already reached more than 75,000 people in 450 synagogues around the country, is taking outreach further than the usual embrace of people who are born Jewish, or who are married to Jews. It deliberately and forcefully moves into the mainstream world, extending an open door to anyone who might just like to get to know more about becoming a Jew.
Some would argue this is an overlooked opportunity, while others see it as one more step away from halacha: Proselytizing traditionally has been seen as taboo.
"There are so many people who are interested in Judaism," said Arlene Chernow, Los Angeles regional director of outreach and membership for the Union of Reform Judaism (URJ). "Somehow it's an urban legend that you're supposed to turn them away. It is halacha, but it also says that you turn them away with one hand and welcome with another hand."
Chernow has been with the URJ for 22 years and helped implement the pilot "taste" program 11 years ago.
"I think it really opens the Jewish community to people," she said. "It gives people a sample for how Judaism can have a positive impact on their life"
In three two-hour sessions taught by a rabbi, the class attempts to provide an overview of the three major aspects of Judaism: God, Torah, Israel -- or as it's called here, "Spirituality, Ethics and Community." Before teaching the class, each rabbi attends a training course, and then tailors it individually, using text study, discussion and handouts.
The program is not targeted solely at non-Jews. Unaffiliated Jews, Jews with no religious education, intermarried Jews and friends of Jews all have enrolled in the class.
"Our goal is large, meaningful, vibrant communities that are open to people who are born Jewish and open to people who aren't born Jewish," Chernow said.
And yet the new, very public push to promote the program in mainstream media around the country to all spiritual seekers, appears to turn on its head an age-old prohibition in the Jewish community. Which raises the questions: In modern-day America, where many ancient Jewish traditions no longer hold, should this one also be relegated to ancient times? In short, can Jews seek out converts? Can Jews proselytize?
These questions become particularly poignant this week, as we celebrate Shavuot, the commemoration of when Moses received the Torah on Mount Sinai. This is the holiday that celebrates Jews-by-choice, and for it we read the Book of Ruth, the story of Judaism's most celebrated convert of them all, from whom King David is a descendent.
Ruth's story is seen by many as evidence that historically, Judaism, in fact, is meant to encourage conversion and early on even actively sought out people to join the faith.
"It is important to remember that Judaism began as a proselytizing religion," said Rabbi Neal Weinberg, a Conservative rabbi and the head of the popular Miller Introduction to Judaism Program at the American Jewish University (AJU) (formerly the University of Judaism). "The Book of Ruth is very pro-conversion. By the first century, according to Salo Baron, 10 percent of the Roman Empire had converted to Judaism. Proselytizing ceased when the church [in the fourth century] prohibited Jews from converting. Christians and later Islam [seventh century] prohibited Jews as well," he said.
Jonathan Sarna, professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University, concurs with Weinberg's account.
"Historically, we certainly know that Jews in very early times converted people -- sometimes even forcibly converted people as recounted in the Bible in the book of Joshua," Sarna said.
He points out that the Talmud includes people who have converted -- and cites the major argument between Hillel and Shamai, where Hillel tells a potential convert that all of the Torah can be reduced to: "Do onto others as you would do onto yourself." He says in the early Christian era, the early post-Temple era, there was a certain amount to conversion to Judaism.
"But what happens in the Diaspora is -- especially as Jews become a minority -- the Jewish community could get into great trouble when they were seen as proselytizing," he said. "Once Christianity takes hold, whole Jewish community could be attacked because they were accused of Judaicizing."
Jews made a "virtue" out of not seeking converts, arguing that the prohibition became a point of pride, a differentiation between Judaism and Christianity. In modern times, in countries where Jews feared for their rights, like in England and Germany, the fear was that proselytizing "would undo the bargain where they were allowed to remain."
But this logic never really applied in America, which is founded on freedom of religious practice.
"American religion developed as a free market," he said. "Naturally, when you have a free market in religion, there are plenty of Jews who say, 'If they can convert me, I can convert them.' From a logical point of view how can you be in a market and refuse to compete?" he asked. "Hillel didn't seem to be worried when the proselyte came to him, so why should we?"
That's exactly how Rabbi Ron Stern feels. Stern, the charismatic teacher of the "Taste of Judaism" class at Stephen S. Wise (where Vanderhope is participating) thinks the world should know how great Judaism is.

AUSTN -- The HPV vaccine remains controversial, however, numbers recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing the vaccine's effectiveness could help quell some of the skepticism.
Cases of human papillomavirus, or HPV, have decreased 56 percent in young girls since the vaccine was first introduced in 2006 according to the CDC.
"This is very exciting news," said Jennifer Mushtaler, M.D., an obstetrician and gynecologist with Capital OB/GYN Associates of Texas at St. David's Women's Center. "We're seeing that reduction in risk cancers for our young women, which is very important and the reduction is greater than anticipated."
CDC officials admit they were surprised by the vaccine's effectiveness, and so too were University of Texas students KVUE spoke to.
"I remember it was just a few years ago that people started talking about it," said Wynne Davis, a UT student. "There was really the push and all the ads on television for it, but I didn't expect it to drop that quickly."
"It is a really significant decrease," said Angela Lin, a UT student. "With all the current medical breakthroughs and progress in science and technology and everything, I guess it really doesn't surprise me."
The only disappointing news according to the CDC is that only 50 to 60 percent of young women are getting the vaccine. The agency was hoping that number would be closer to 80 percent. Dr. Mushtaler says there's still a bit of a disconnect over the value of the vaccine.
"Because we're vaccinating for diseases that are transmitted sexually the message can get confused about the intent of the vaccine," she said. "The intent of the vaccine is to help protect young people from (certain) types of cancers no matter when they choose to become sexually active."
Mushtaler says the vaccine is now being recommended for girls and boys -- girls ages 11 to 26 and boys ages 11 to 21. Dr. Mushtaler says early research has shown there's a higher rate of immunity when children are vaccinated at a younger age.

In it, Jenna, who holds a master's degree from Boston University and is actually very, very good-looking, ran through a laundry list of tongue-in-cheek beauty tips mocking more conventional girls. The video has since amassed over 46 million views, and her many subsequent shorts have cracked the multimillion mark as well -- and not just from our own repeated viewings. After all, what's sexier than a girl who can make you laugh?

Diabetes Damage Similar to Lung Impairment Found in SmokersPosted: Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Lung impairment similar to that found in smokers has been found in a study that included 3,182 patients with diabetes and 27,080 control subjects. Researchers found that diabetes can damage the lungs in ways that are similar to smokers.
Scientists from the Netherlands found the connection between lung impairment and diabetes by looking at pulmonary function literature extracted from 40 studies of diabetic patients.
Compared to Type 1 diabetes, patients with Type 2 diabetes had the most significant restrictive lung impairment, also seen in smokers.
The researchers say the findings have implications for patients with known lung disease such as COPD that could worsen with diabetes. The authors concluded, "Since our results apply to the diabetic subpopulation free from overt pulmonary disease, it would next be interesting to investigate the potential clinical implications in those patients with diabetes who carry a pulmonary diagnosis, such as COPD or asthma."
Past studies have shown systemic inflammation present in patients with COPD as well as diabetes and other diseases. Researchers are not certain where systemic inflammation starts but it is linked to metabolic syndrome and inactivity.
According to the American Thoracic Society, "Patients with impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, or impaired fasting glucose have higher levels of hs-CRP and interleukin-6 compared with subjects with normal glucose tolerance, even after adjusting for fat mass." CRP and interleukin-6 are markers of systemic inflammation in the body. The study exploring the role of inflammation and lung disease is titled "Systemic Inflammation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma: Relation with Comorbidities."
Researchers have been focusing on the role of inflammation in the body that is associated with COPD, diabetes, heart disease and a variety of other chronic diseases including obesity.
Decreased lung function found in the diabetic study was similar to that of smokers and included patients without overt lung disease. The study found an association between diabetes and lung damage, despite other factors that included smoking, diabetes duration and blood sugar control.

Im remodeling my laundry room and this space feeds a hose bibb that is used for washing cars, cleaning tools, etc. My location is NY, so it gets cold here. Washing road salt off the cars and cleaning tools after tiling last winter was quite painful. Im considering changing out the supply to the hose bibb from a single cold water feed to a hot/cold water feed through a Watts ½ lo-temp mixing valve (60-120 deg F). Will I get an unacceptable pressure drop across the mixing valve? Would it help to install a ¾ valve with reducing couplings? The other option is to eliminate the mixing valve and install a pair of check and ball valves to manually mix the hot/cold. The valves will be inside the wall with an access panel. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

TOP 5: SPRING BREAKERS, TRANSFORMERS 4 Plot Details, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Trailer and Poster, THE CROODS
by Jason Barr Posted 1 year, 31 days ago
The nationwide expansion of Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers meant that I had the opportunity to catch the film last night at my local theater. We'll talk a more specifically about our coverage of the film after the jump. For now, I'd like to make a futile attempt at encapsulating my feelings on the pic in the next few sentences. There's a lot to like about Breakers whether it be the performances (James Franco's especially), the music, the slick editing and use of foreshadowing, etc. Nevertheless, for me this isn't a movie that I "liked" as much as it's one I respect. It's beautiful, surreal, challenging, abhorrent, and vapid all at the same time. In other words, it's art.
I could go on for days about the pic but that's not why we're here. In this week's Top 5 we'll take a look at our Breakers coverage, some Transformers 4 plot details, Olympus Has Fallen interviews with Gerard Butler and Antoine Fuqua just to name a few, a new trailer and poster for Star Trek Into Darkness, and The Croods interviews with Nicolas Cage and more. As is standard, a brief recap and link to each awaits after the jump.

The Commonwealth Building at 5077 Lankershim Blvd. that housed a Citibank branch until last December is scheduled for demolition within the next week or two to make way for a mixed-use development.
An on-site worker, who did not want to be named, told Patch when the structure would be coming down.
Todd Pratt, Executive Vice President of Chandler Pratt, which owns the property, did not return phone calls to confirm when the tear down would take place or when construction of the 5-story mixed-use project would commence.
But according to records on the city of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety's website, Chandler Pratt was granted a hand-wrecking demolition permit in January.
The building's Citibank logo was removed and a fence was placed outside within the last month.
Last September, Pratt told Patch that plans to move forward with the project would be on hold for up to two years.
Local history buffs filed an application to get historic landmark status for the 1960s era Commonwealth building, but it was eventually denied.
Richard Hilton, a member of the board of directors for the Museum of the San Fernando Valley, said he believes the request was shot down because there were too many modifications made inside and outside the property.
The Commonwealth Building was once part of a North Hollywood history walking tour led by Hilton.
He said the structure would be a loss to local history because it reflected growth and progress following World War II.

Zack Ryder
Real Name
Matthew Cardona
Date of Birth
May 14, 1984
Place of Birth
While management has not officially give him an extended feud to work with since his debut, Alexander Rusev is still being penciled in for a filler match at Extreme Rules 2014. He is expected to squash someone in a quick segment. Top candidates right now are Zack Ryder, R Truth and Xavier Woods, as those are the three WWE performers he has worked with lately.
April 18, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Alexander Rusev has been removed from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw for the second week in a row. His debut match against Zack Ryder was omitted the previous week. He defeated Xavier Woods this week and assaulted R Truth afterwards. Apparently, WWE did not feel that was important enough to include on the Hulu version.
April 15, 2014
While he does not receive a ton of praise form his employers, Zack Ryder revealed to WWE fans through this Twitter post that the Ultimate Warrior praised him when they met backstage this past week. Warrior told Ryder that his impersonation is actually better than the real gimmick.
April 11, 2014
A video from WWE Main Event of a match between Alexander Rusev, who made his in ring debut on Monday Night Raw this week against Zack Ryder, and Sin Cara. This segment was designed to give even further credibility to Rusev, who is expected to be booked in victories on television over the next couple of weeks.
April 11, 2014
Despite the company being very high on the guy, Alexander Rusev had his debut match removed from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw this week. He defeated Zack Ryder in a squash match, but WWE officials deemed it not important enough to show their fans on Hulu. This leads to a lot of questions about how strong of a push Rusev will receive.
April 8, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, WWE did a live event in Long Island this weekend, and they purposely opted not to use Zack Ryder, the hometown hero. In what could be a show of defiance towards management, Dolph Ziggler did an in ring tribute to Zack Ryder during his match by doing a couple of his Ryder's signature moves.
March 24, 2014
Since WWE has filed trademark paperwork on his name, Ric Flair is expected to be utilized as an on screen character soon. While nothing has been confirmed at this time, there are talks backstage of the former WCW champion being a manager again. There are rumors that he could be paired up with Miz, Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder, if management opts to make that stable happen.
March 22, 2014
In the latest episode of Last ReZort, Zack Ryder talked about how the greatest moment of his WWE career was winning the United States Heavyweight Championship from Dolph Ziggler, so he decided to shatter that glass ceiling by destroying the title belt.
March 17, 2014
Earlier in the year, there were some minor talks backstage about putting Miz and Dolph Ziggler into a stable together, where the theme of the group is that performers are disgruntled with their positions within WWE. Miz even started a few segments on Monday Night Raw for that. Now, there are talks that Zack Ryder could be thrown into the mix as a third member.
March 15, 2014
Despite not being utilized too often on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, Zack Ryder still managed to get himself a guest appearance on a television show called Toy Hunters, which is hosted by Jordan Hembrough. The segment was filmed this week, but there is no official word on an air date yet. The WWE star has also been busy with a new YouTube series.
March 14, 2014
With him producing a new YouTube video series called the Last Rezort, it appeared that Zack Ryder was going to swing for the fences before possibly walking away from WWE when his contract expired. He now has a chance to work at Wrestlemania 30 with the introduction of the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal before he decides to move on.
March 12, 2014
After doing a quick tease, Zack Ryder has finally launched his new show, which is being called the Last Rezort. The WWE star is taking his real life frustrations of not being pushed and turning it into a show, hoping to regain the massive following that he once had. This series is not sponsored by WWE, as he openly talks about letting his contract expire soon.
March 10, 2014
There is a lot that can be said about Zack Ryder, but one of the things that you have to give him credit for is the fact that he has not given up on his dreams of being a top level guy in WWE. The heavily under utilized performer has been hitting the gym harder as of late, as he is trying to bulk up to improve his chances with management.
March 4, 2014
While many are hoping that he eventually makes it to the main event level in WWE, there are those backstage that feel that his push needs to be drawn out, in order to prevent backlash from fans. Since management wants to go slow, there is a chance that they could feed him a low level baby face, such as Zack Ryder or R Truth, in his debut feud.
February 28, 2014
As expected, several current and former WWE stars were in attendance at the wedding of Miz and Maryse Ouellet this week. The confirmed attendees thus far include John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder and Kelly Kelly. A lot of the female performers were forced to miss the event since they were in Mexico, filming Total Divas.
February 22, 2014
When Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder started working on the main roster in WWE, Big Daddy V was quite helpful to the two youngster. His death today prompted this message from Hawkins on Twitter, where he stated that he will never forget the kindness displayed towards him.
February 18, 2014
WWE recently did a tour of California, and Zack Ryder took the opportunity to see something that he had seen as a child. In this photo that he uploaded to Twitter, the under utilized star is standing in front of the house that was used on the Full House television show.
February 14, 2014
Last night, WWE wanted to push the heel turn by Titus ONeil, so they gave him a match. Since someone was needed to put him over, officials backstage went with Zack Ryder, who has not worked a televised match on Monday Night Raw since October of last year.
February 4, 2014
It looks like Alexander Rusev is extremely close to being called up by WWE. The developmental wrestler is once again on tour with the main roster this weekend, where he is working matches early on the card against veteran performer Zack Ryder.

TELLURIDE – A new brood of budding young gymnasts have spent hours perfecting their tumbling and aerial tricks that they will perform this Friday for the community.
The Telluride Academy Gymnastics program is bigger than ever, this year boasting a whopping 85 students who range from toddlers to high schoolers. They've been practicing since September, with floor, bar, beam, vault, and rings routines ready for the spotlight.
"For the older competitors, this offers great stage performance time to get them ready for competition" later in the year, says Gymnastics Program Director Teresa Brachle. And for the younger tumblers, it provides a venue for showing off what their little bodies have learned to do over the course of 12 weeks of gymnastics training.
Approximately 40 of the Academy's gymnastics program participants will perform routines this Friday, at the Telluride Middle/High School cafeteria, at 4:30 p.m. Levels 1 through 4 as well as the boys gymnastics group will all perform routines in the different disciplines.
In its third year, the Telluride Academy Gymnastics Program has again swelled in numbers, this session adding new classes for children ages 2-3 and 3-4. Friday's performance marks the end of the fall session of gymnastics; Brachle will begin taking registrations for the next session, which begins January 5, next week.
For more information or to register for the next session of Telluride Academy Gymnastics, contact Brachle at 728-5311 or firstname.lastname@example.com


text: The breakup of the Wine Advocate's Robert B. Parker with his former lead wine critic Antonio Galloni is getting ugly. You might remember that Parker sold a substantial interest in his influential wine newsletter, the most powerful in the country, to Singapore investors last December. Though Parker isn't exactly retiring, he is stepping down as editor-in-chief. And that position has been claimed not by Galloni, his heir apparent, but by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, a Master of Wine who was a Singapore-based correspondent for the publication.
