Xanthan gum is one of the most effective sources of dietary fibre available. It can be used to add texture to food without the need for gluten and is completely non toxic. Xanthan gum is produced through the fermentation of sugars by the Xanthomonas Campestris bacteria, and is a bio polymer that is structured like cellulose.
Many people find that having fibre rich diet can be a struggle, particularly if they do not eat a high proportion of fruit and green vegetables. Xanthan gum, in supplement form, adds bulk to the diet and acts as a substitute for normal fibre.
For anyone that is unable to eat gluten as part of their diet this is a suitable alternative to use in cooking. Generally, foods eaten as part of a gluten free diet lack texture and thickness. Adding Xanthan gum to cooking sauces will increase the bulk of foods without adding a significant amount of calories.
There are no side-effects to eating additional Xanthan gum over an extended period of time, and it is a useful dietary supplement for people suffering from IBS. Consuming Xanthan gum will increase the intake of fibre to improve digestive transit, without the need to eat starchy foods that can increase discomfort.
Add 300-350ml of water or fruit juice into our shaker (the less liquid the thicker the shake will be). Then add two thirds of an MP small scoops (2g), shake and consume. Use 1-2 times daily or as required. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.
1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (small) weighs 2.9g. (not included)
This product is 100% Xanthan Gum with nothing added or taken away.

This xanthan gum is great stuff to have in the home. When I use water in my Protein shakes I drop some gum in, makes it nice and thick. Also good for making sauces thick. But you do need a hand blender to mix it in.

I love this Xanthan Gum. I'm lactose intolerant, plus I don't eat any dairy as it causes acne. I've never been a big dairy person except for ice cream, I make my own out of coconut milk and adding this to the mixture makes it so thick and creamy, it's so easy to use, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who makes food from scratch.Goes Well With:Making dairy free ice cream using coconut milk and honey

I received a 250g bag for free in a order from MP.
I already use a lot of other fiber supps so had no need for it, for that reason. However I had noticed it was on the ingredients list for the "protein dessert" MP sell.
So decided to add a mini small scoops worth to 2 scoops of whey protein - shock it till it all thickened up and put it in the fridge for 30 mins.. voila - my own version of MP's protein dessert but in a Cookies and Cream flavour. Yum.
So if you are looking to thicken up any protein drinks, sauces etc, a mini scoops worth will do the job.

"I agree about 'weird sliminess' but I don't care! Excellent for thickening watery unsatisfying protein shakes, or anything else for that matter. Add the Xanthan, shake it, then leave it to stand for a few minutes and shake again to ensure that the thickening effect is complete. Works in cold drinks and does not form clots or stick to the sides of the container. Totally user-friendly. The slimyness makes it easy to wash off/ wipe away if spilt."

"Oh wow.. not only makes a teaspooon of this stuff my cacao-milk nice and thick and smooth, I just added a teaspoon to some cake-creme powder. I was supposed to add whipped cream, but a teaspoon of xanthan made the stuff go like a super thick gel in seconds, making the best cake-spread for a low-fat cake.. My mixer couldn't even mix it anymore."

"This stuff is great for use in the kitchen for thickening sauces. I use it in place of cornflour when on a keto diet. Just sprinkle some into your sauce and you'll have a nice, smooth, thick sauce in minutes and up your fibre intake into the bargain. Win Win situation. :) I've not tried it in shakes yet because the MP Impact Whey is fine without it."
Michael Westbury

"Really unpleasant stuff, really slimy and not great. I found a packet of this stuff I bought from MP ages ago so decided to start using it again as the seal on it had not been broken and it was within date. It really is a hastle to use and a lot worse than the other Fibre sources available. It would be so much better to stick it in caps as suggested, but I found it made my stomach bad and my motions so will probably not finish the pack. This is a weird source of protein and not one I will be continuing with."

"I ordered this product having heard of its ability to provide fibre easily for someone who is unable to consume wheat and gluten. The 1kg bag will last me for a long time, great price. It is really good for thickening my shakes as well which is brilliant too."
Great shake thickener

"Awesome for making my shakes thicker, needed to experiment with the dosage a bit, didn't get the same results as others (i needed to use more to get the desired result) but at this price who cares!? My only beef with it is that it can be a bit of a nightmare to mix - shaker doesn't desolve it properly - may invest in a blender..either that or make stirring my shakes with a fork part of my warm up...clockwise aaaaaaand anti-clockwise. Great product MP."

I like to use this product make sauces thicker. It's a good help if you have problems with the bathroom.
It works but it's not very practical.

"Xantham Gum is strange stuff, it's a very fine, tasteless powder that lives up to the usual high standards expected from MyProtein, however it's difficult to handle and I'm not sure how much use it is as a dietary supplement. The powder is so fine that it gets everywhere and the slightest contact with water produces a sticky slime. Adding 2g in 400ml of shake makes the whole thing too thick to drink. I found that around 5g gave a shake the thickness of Frij milkshakes but the texture was still slimey. Capping it was a bit of a struggle due to the fineness of the powder and because it's so light, it means having to neck a lot of capsules to get the desired amount. I found that mixing it with sugar free jelly produced the best results and I was able to consume about 3g of fibre per serving, so I consumed 3 servings over 2 days. This produced excellent results as far as my performance in the toilet is concerned, let's leave it at that. So, if you're having trouble getting enough fibre in your diet and your number twos are suffering as a result, Xantham gum will sort you out. It's not very palatable though and is a lot of messing about, other fibre sources are much less hassle."

On Monday, the chief of naval operations paid a visit, and gave 14 News a rare glimpse inside.
"It's the first time in history that we've had one of the joint chiefs in. He's here at the request of Senator Coats. Certainly a very big deal for us, speaks to our relevance," said Brett Seidle with NSA Crane.

The Wilson Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum

Clarence Street

Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum re-opens to the public on the 5th October 2013, as The Wilson, following a major new build costing in the region of £6 million.
In 1898 the third Baron de Ferrieres donated 43 important paintings and £1000 to the town of Cheltenham to build a gallery, which opened a year later. The collections have since grown in number and in quality, with the great majority generously given by the people of Cheltenham.
In 1975 a branch museum was opened in the birthplace of composer Gustav Holst, which was completely furnished from the collections. This became an independent museum in 2000.
The first real increase in space and visitor facilities came in 1989 when HRH The Princess Royal opened an extension to the Art Gallery & Museum. This is the building in which the main entrance is sited.
A major re-development project has transformed Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum, allowing for improved access and enhanced opportunities for the display of its locally, regionally, nationally and internationally important art and heritage collections. It has also enabled the Art Gallery & Museum to become a major venue for national and international touring exhibitions.
This museum has a Designated Collection of national importance.
Venue Type:
Museum, Gallery
Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum closed to the public on 1 April 2011, for the start of a major re-development project, Building for a New Future. It has now re-opened to the public (from 5th October 2013), as The Wislon follwoing a major new build costing in the region of £6 million.
The Arts and Crafts collection at Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum is a Designated Collection of national importance.
Cheltenham's Designated collection relates to the British Arts and Crafts Movement spanning the 1880s to about 1940. The Cotswolds were an important centre for one of Britain's most inspiring and influential art movements. The collection has a strong local base featuring furniture, silver, metalwork, plasterwork, leatherwork and embroideries by designers such as C.R. Ashbee and Ernest Gimson. Since the 1970s the collection has been developed to give a national overview with work by William Morris, C.F.A. Voysey, Baillie Scott, Eric Gill and many others. Visitors are captivated by the colourful designs and craft skills on show as well as the thought-provoking social message of the Movement with its emphasis on creative manual work.
Cheltenham's history is also well represented, and in addition there are paintings spanning four centuries, oriental collections of pottery and costume, and archaeological treasures from the neighbouring Cotswolds, as well as a programme of special exhibitions changing regularly throughout the year.

Museums At Night with Fred Deakin
- 17 May 2014
On Saturday May 17th Fred Deakin will be travelling to The Wilson Cheltenham to host an audience participation quiz and showcase local musical talent. The Wilson won Fred by a mere 22 votes in the closest result of the online poll to win an artist.
The event has been planned in collaboration with The Wilson Collective, a group of 16-25 year olds who are interested in arts and culture. They identified a gap for a place to perform new music Cheltenham's cultural scene, and are excited to get exposure on the night.
After an extensive redevelopment The Wilson re-opned in October 2013 and now has plenty of space for all sorts of arts activities. We will be dotting musicians around the gallery and museum collections which range from cutting edge contemporary art (The Open West), classic sculpture (Rodin's Kiss which has returned to Cheltenham after a lengthly absence) to our beautiful new paper store containing the Emery Walker library and some of the finest collections of letterpressed theatre playbills in the country.
The hugely diverse nature of the collections makes the perfect setting for an audience participation quiz. On entering the Wilson, the audience will issued with different coloured wristbands. As they wander around the galleries and listen to the music in the mezzanine space, challenges will be set every half hour. 'Everyone with a blue wristband take a picture of a mummified foot on your phone!' They will then need to come back and show the results to a volunteer from the collective who will log results. The winning team will receive a limited edition mix CD from Fred Deakin and the night will end in a big party with a Fred Deakin set.
Museums at Night is the first late night opening for The Wilson since reopening and will kickstart an innovative series of late openings in the following months.

"Excellent customer service! I was assured that my additional request would be just as I wanted. The product was super cute and I got nothing but compliments from all the people I sent it to! Worth every cent--and I'm still ordering extras, which is really easy, because more and more people want one."
"My daughter was born in January and I thought the hearts tied in nicely with Valentine's Day (around when the cards were received). We have the announcement framed in our living room and I still look at it and love it almost every day. I put my daughter's name in pink and mixed-and-matched fonts.."
"I love this design as it reminds me of my Australian birth certificate. Although mines was with out photos. I was very excited to send this one out to friends and family. They all loved the design and loved how we added photos to the back of the card. The card turned out to be better than I had expected. I will treasure this always."
"I loved the colors used and the modern design. The paper quality was nice--I did get the double thickness which had a very substantive weight, but I think the standard thickness would have been great as well."
"perfect card- after long contemplating and getting help from tiny prints this turned out to be the perfect card. Tiny prints was also able to add the design on the back. Beyond wonderful service!"

Sy Thai...MSG food – Sorry to give this poor rating. Since I am travelling a lot (international), I am relying on all the good fellows who take their time to rate local restaurants... and I never had a bad experience ... since today.
I was there Monday evening and Sy Thai was kind of crowded (7pm) - which is good. Friendly service though.
Ordered a Tum Ka Ghai (soup with chicken) and a "Pattoni" with Tofu. To make a long story short: Food was prepared with fresh ingredits, like carrots, sprouts, chicken, etc. When the soup came, I was first thinking about a bad joke. That was a horrible MSG broth - no doubt about it, which was confirmed by one of the waiter/waitress whom I asked. The "Pattoni", which came with a red curry sauce had the same strong taste and since I ordered it medium spicy, I still could taste the artifical flavours. For sure we are eating more crap then we are in most cases aware of, but I dont think we should excess this on purpose.
If you like MSG (or have no clue about it), go there ! If you cant remember one day, dont sue me. Sy Thai is a definite no go again - at least for me.
Best Thai in the Area – A variety of delicious Thai dishes in a great setting for a reasonable price. Can't be beat.
Try the Von Sen.
Awesome everytime! – Great, fresh food for a great price! My personal favorite is the Veggie Coconut Curry, Spicy Hot, with Steamed Tofu.
My Favorite Local Thai Restaurant – Simply put, the best Thai food around. Their fresh rolls are the best I've had, and I've enjoyed all of the dishes I've sampled there. They use fresh, crunchy vegetables, are great with tofu, and seem to serve the dishes with less grease than I've encountered at other Thai restaurants. The only bummer is that it's really hard to find a parking place, which makes carry out a real bother. Other than that, really great spot.
BEST THAI FOOD IN METRO DETROIT – Pad Thai is my all time favorite dish.... I have tried it at almost every restuarant in the Troy, Bham, Royal Oak area and SY THAI IS SOOOO GOOD... they put alot of egg in it ! and the cook has the flavor down to perfection. A++++++
Take-Out Service is horrible! Management needs to improve. Great food though. – Sy Thai Cafe serves great food. Our office is close to Birmingham and regularly orders carry-out from them all the time. Recently, we placed a 7 meal carry out order for a business luncheon at 11:45 before the lunch rush and they forgot to include 2 of the 7 orders. When we called to complain, the staff was very indifferent and their best reply is 'can you come back and pick it up?' They did not offer to rectify the situation by comping us. Two people went without lunch during our meeting.
Dining in once, small bones were found in the chicken. They said they had a new poultry provider and were only willing to take 10% off of the bill. Again, not very endearing to the customer.
Overall, the food is great, but the service really brings the whole experience down. Food is half the equation and service is the other half. The only reason why I go back is because of the food, otherwise, I would never patronize this place again.
A Standout – In the vast sea of Metro Detroit Thai restaurants, this one really stands out. The decor is much more chic and upscale than usual (owing to its Birmingham location, I suppose), the service is friendly and fast, and the food is really, really delicious. I highly recommend both the massaman curry, as well as the curry noodles (which are a special treat because most Thai places don't offer them). Yum!
excellent! – I was initially introduced to this restaurant by co-workers, and i loved it so much that i introduced it to all my friends. they all fell in love with the food here as well. the food is reasonably priced and best of all, the meat is real meat! it's not the imitation/chewy/suspect meat you find at some restaurants.
i highly recommend this restaurant!
This is Thai food the way it's meant to be--a sophisticated fusion of Indian, Chinese and Malaysian influences.
– In Short
Simple but attractive, with quilted elephant pictures on the walls. The flavor mix is complex, indicating that someone in the kitchen is taking lots of care. All the traditional dishes, from tom yum to pad Thai, with four versions of duck. Note: The "medium" spice level is mild, so adjust accordingly. Drunken noodles, made with Thai brandy. Prik khing, curried stir-fried green beans. Tom yum, the shrimp version, delicate and tasting whole-heartedly of the sea. Neau Tod, marinated beef with ginger-vinegar sauce. Banana cake, rice steamed with coconut milk in a banana leaf.
Great Thai Food – Sy Thai is a great find on a small street off the beaten path in Birmigham. THe food is very well done and satisfying. Carry out is also available.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Into Character On The Set Of Liz & Dick
Posted on Mon Jun 4, 2012 04:30 PM PDT
When you're playing Elizabeth Taylor on the
big small screen, you gotta go all out!
Lindsay Lohan was snapped on the Los Angeles set of Liz & Dick on Monday afternoon, and the 25-year-old starlet was seen clutching a bottle of water and a cigarette during a break from shooting. Lindsay gave us another peek at her newly dyed brunette locks, and from the makeup to the outfit, she's definitely got the look of Liz, so we can't wait to see how this translates to the tube when the movie airs this October!
Lookin' good!

Fords are great cars Ian. Even your counterparts across the pond drive them. I'm on my fifth one, though the latest is the oldest. The '04 mustang was awesome, just changed the oil and put gas in. All the latest (99 and on) modular motors are great.
What do you think is a good car? Toyota's and Honda's were better for reliability but not anymore. When they were better they lacked severly in other departments, (interior, suspension).
My sister just got rid of her Audi, it's common that after 60-80k miles they develope problems that become cost prohibitive to keep. Are jags still English made? They are really crappy once the warranty runs out.
Get a new Stang....that will change your mind. It might even put some pep in your step.
What do you drive?

Parents and students should apply for a federal PIN. This enables students to apply for federal and state aid more quickly than using a paper form. The PIN will be used each year in completing the FAFSA, checking out aid previously received, looking at the student's loan history, etc. It's quick and easy to apply at www.pin.ed.gov. If you've applied previously for a PIN and forgotten it, this site will tell you how to find it again.
There are very few hard and fast DEADLINES for need based financial aid. There are types of financial aid that have limited funds and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. This is the reason that it is important to fill out your FAFSA as soon as possible and send it to the government, and to turn in all requested paperwork to our office as soon as possible.
Complete your federal tax forms (preferably before mid-March) - It's important that you complete your federal tax forms as early as possible. This information is needed to complete the FAFSA form. Be sure to keep a paper copy of both parents' and student's forms - even if you apply by telephone or over the Internet.
Complete your FAFSA as soon as possible. (mid-March is a good time to have processed by the government) - To apply for federal aid for the coming academic year, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to have both tax forms and Federal PIN handy for both you and your parents. TTU's school code is 003523.
Send documents to Financial Aid Office. The priority "deadline" to have your paperwork turned in to our office is March 15th, but remember that this is just a ballpark date that we estimate would allow you to be considered for all aid that you are eligible to receive - even those with limited funds. After we receive the information on your FAFSA from the federal government, we may contact you and ask for supporting documentation - such as tax return transcripts from the IRS. If you are asked for specific forms, please send them to us as soon as possible. Your application will not be considered complete until we have all documents needed to process your federal aid. Remember that some types of aid are limited, so don't be late!
If your parent is a licensed public school teacher, State of Tennessee employee, Tennessee Board of Regents System employee or a UT System employee, send our office a copy of the appropriate fee discount form early in the summer so we can get this type of aid processed. You can print out a copy of the discount form: Teacher-State Discount Form. This must be completed before EACH semester you attend. Please fill out this page and print it so you can obtain the necessary signatures each semester.

UCLA and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Faculty Collaborative Grants
Deadline Extended to May 2, 2014
The UCLA-HKUST collaborative faculty grants are intended to build ties between the two institutions and promote collaboration in research and graduate training in the humanities or in the social and behavioral sciences. Comparative projects that include China and Asia as a major component are especially welcome, as are examinations of major global and transnational issues in which China or Asia have a prominent role. Projects must include collaborative research or joint planning in the case of faculty, and research or study with faculty of the other institution in the case of graduate students. Projects should be led by two principal investigators, one from UCLA regular ladder faculty and one assistant professor or above from HKUST, preferably from, but not restricted to, the School of Humanities and Social Science. Projects that include the participation of faculty who are new to working with scholars from the partner's geographic location or in an international context are encouraged.
Proposals should be submitted via the UCLA Asia Institute online application by 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time, May 2, 2014.
Click Here for Online Application
There are two types of grants available for th 2014-15 academic year: Faculty Initiative grants, which provide up to $90,000 over three years; and Faculty Seed grants, which provide up to $15,000 for one year. Please see below for the possible types of activities that may be funded.
Proposals should include:
- Type of grant for which you are applying, including the specific activities planned
- Names and contact information for each of the Principal Investigators
- A 3-5 page project description that locates the proposed project within existing scholarship, specifies its potential contributions, links it to faculty interests and expertise at HKUST and UCLA, and provides concrete plans for collaborative activities by the Principal Investigators and other participants. Proposals should also specify a timeline for project related activities, especially reciprocal visits and other meetings by the Principal Investigators and other participants, and a publication plan for all affiliated project papers including likely venues for the publication of the papers from the final meeting
- A roster of participants from HKUST, UCLA, and other institutions that specifies their roles and indicates whether they have already made a commitment to participating, as appropriate
- Complete curriculum vitae for the Principal Investigators and two-page biosketches or abbreviated curriculum vitae for the other participants
- An itemized budget
Faculty Grant Categories
I. Faculty Collaborative Initiative Grants
Up to $90,000 over three years
Project awards are for three years and are intended to promote collaboration by the participating faculty. Projects can include joint study of common problems, methods and materials, and may involve training graduate students regarding relevant sources, data, and methods by project members or invited speakers. Each project should include at least one meeting at which papers suitable for publication in a conference volume from a major academic press or a special issue of a major journal is the end result.
Project expenses may not exceed HK $700,000 or US $90,000 per project. Allowable expenses include well justified research assistance, airfare, food and lodging for meeting participants, honoraria for faculty from other institutions who offer didactic training, and limited staff support related to organization of the meetings and preparation of final publication. Funds are not to be used for salary support or course releases for faculty. Funds can be used for graduate student support but cannot exceed US $5,000 in total annually.
II. Faculty Collaborative Seed Grants
In order to promote and strengthen faculty collaborations and networks between faculty from UCLA and HKUST, funding of up to $15,000 is available for planning workshops, short-term faculty exchanges, continuation grants, and travel for research and conferences. Proposed projects must include the participation and/or sponsorship of one faculty from each institution and must be reciprocal in nature. Proposals may include one or multiple activities (ex. conference travel and short-term faculty exchange), but the budget must be within the maximum award amount of $15,000.
1. Planning grants
Up to $15,000
Projects must involve collaborative research, or research planning and pilot research by the participating faculty. Funds may be used for planning meetings, exploratory or brainstorming workshops, or joint pilot research projects and may include support for graduate students. Recipients of Planning grants may apply for subsequent Faculty Initiative or Continuation grants.
2. Continuation grants
Up to $15,000
Faculty who have already received an initiative grant or completed a planning workshop grant may apply for a continuation grant to further develop programs for sustained research networks and graduate training related to the themes of the original grant. Continuation projects may include the development of a joint graduate student seminar, ongoing working group meetings, second-phase collaborative research, or other platforms for sustaining networks among the primary institutions.
3. Short-term Faculty Exchange
Up to $5,000 per visit
Faculty from the partner institution may be invited for up to one month for short-term residencies to lead mini-courses, seminar series, or guest lecture series. The purpose of the faculty exchange is to provide opportunities for the visiting faculty and the students and research collaborators of the host institution to build knowledge networks and provide expertise that complements or augments the offerings of the host institution. Faculty exchanges must include a reciprocal arrangement of some kind, though activities do not need to match exactly. Funds may be used for travel, per diem expenses, and honoraria. Funding may used to supplement host institution support of visiting faculty.
4. Conference Travel Grants
Up to $2000
Travel grants are available to invite faculty or graduate students from the partner institution to participate in a conference at the host institution. This grant is meant to encourage the inclusion of faculty who are new to working outside their geographic specialization or who want to establish new international networks within their fields. For example, HKUST might invite a UCLA scholar from outside the field of Chinese studies to a conference on some aspect of the Humanities or Social Sciences. Conversely, UCLA might invite an HKUST scholar in the social sciences to a conference on Psychology or Economics. For this reason, justification must be given in the proposal demonstrating that this funding establishes a new direction for the sponsored faculty.
5. Graduate Student Support
Up to $5000
Funding may be used to support graduate student participation in a collaborative project or to pursue individual research projects that could benefit from collaboration or training with faculty at the partner campus. Allowable expenses include travel, research expenses, or stipends for work done on a project as a Graduate Student Researcher (GSR). Funds may not be used for tuition or living expenses during the reciprocal exchange student program.

By Alisa Festagallo
University of West Florida students have started a chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council in hopes of creating a more environmentally friendly campus for students, faculty and staff.
Nye Grant, visiting assistant professor of the department of Applied Science, Technology and Administration is the sponsor of USGBC and brought the idea to the students. All the students were interested in making a better impact on the environment, so they started the club this semester.
Tyler Clukey, a junior construction engineering major serves as the president of the chapter. Clukey said he has big plans for this club and the members involved, like their first project, the Earthship.
The Earthship is going to be a structure composed of compacted dirt and used tires that can be used as a seating area right outside of the science and engineering building for students and faculty to hang out, study, and take a break from class.
"The Earthship provides a more laid back environment that's not too uptight and takes your mind off of just school, school, school," Clukey said.
There is a United States Green Building Council in Pensacola that was established in 2006 and extends from Escambia County to Bay County. Members of the USGBC at UWF have already attended one of their meetings and plan on collaborating with them throughout the year.
Besides their first project they will be meeting with the Student Government Association in order to get funding needed for their projects and their sponsor will be meeting with the Dean of the college and Associate Dean in order to get their Earthship project approved.
"We are trying to not just talk about clean sustainability but actually take action and start building structures safe for the environment," Hanson said.
They have a base amount of students but are hoping to recruit more members by talking to people in and outside of their classes so they can find people that aren't just specific to the construction engineering program.
For more information on the organization, you can contact Justine Hanson or Tyler Clukey.

RIDGWAY - Hoping to generate a little noise" in the news media, Ridgway mountain biker Rodney Fitzhugh came before the town council at its July 11 meeting last week to sound the alarm on renegade bike trails being built on federal and state lands. The unauthorized trails threaten the legitimate process of trail building and approval now underway, Fitzhugh said. In fact, he told council, the BLM Uncompahgre Field Office threatened to shut down the process for permitting new trails in its Travel Management Plan if the illegal trails, north of town and east of the Ridgway State Park, were not deconstructed.
Representing Ridgway Area Trails and Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association, Fitzhugh reported, a work crew consisting of BLM and local volunteers had managed to "decommission 3-4 miles of renegade trails" sufficiently to satisfy the federal agency. For now.
Fitzhugh said the BLM asked for help from RAT and COPMOBA in getting the word out.
Additional illegal trails have been built inside the state park, Fitzhugh reported, but the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife is taking a slightly different approach. "About a third of the land we want to build trails on is state or Bureau of Reclamation land," he said. "Their review process is nearly complete, and they're handling [the illegal trails] a little differently. Their approach is to get the official trails approved and built, and that should relieve the pressure on the illegal ones."
Acknowledging the years of work that have gone into fostering good relationships and the planning of these trails, as well as the value to area cyclists, Mayor John Clark promised to get something up on the town's website.
The Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership, with the Ouray County Weed Department and the Ridgway State Park, is planning a major riparian health push in August, according to UWP Coordinator Agnieszka Przeszlowska.
Przeszlowska outlined an ambitious schedule of plantings for Rollans Park in Ridgway next month for members of Ridgway Town Council, with the planting of cottonwood seedlings along both banks of the river downstream of the pedestrian bridge August 6-10, and the planting of willows, on the left and right banks, Aug. 13-15, and stabilization and seeding of the riverbanks with native grasses, and conducting tamarisk removal in Ridgway State Park over the same three days, as well.
"This is pretty ambitious for a two-week project," said County Weed Manager Ron Mabry. "So we're going to need a lot of volunteers."
Mayor Clark spoke for the entire council when he said, "This is a great project. We're in 100 percent support."
Town Manager Jen Coates expressed her gratitude to UWP and suggested the town waive its $50 fee for the work permit.
To help, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
It took a warning from Town Attorney John Kappa, and a sudden reversal by two councilors, but Ridgway Town Council finally passed its promised medical marijuana licensing and regulation ordinance at its July 11 meeting.
Council agreed a month ago to lower the number of medical marijuana licenses from a proposed maximum of five for each type of business to three. But when the topic came up again last week, councilors Jason Gunning and Tim Kavanaugh thought even the reduced numbers were too high. "I'd prefer zero," said Gunning, who teaches at the Ridgway Secondary School. "Why not reduce the number and raise it if we need to later on? We don't even have three gas stations in Ridgway."
Councilor Rick Weaver answered: "But we do have three liquor stores. We've been through this argument with them."
Gunning: "How many people consume liquor compared to the number of people who use medical marijuana?"
Mayor John Clark: "That's not apples to apples, Jason. Some communities don't have any limits. You drive through Salida, it's pretty impressive. I think I'm OK with three. But remember, I don't vote unless there is a tie."
Attorney Kappa recommended the council "adopt the ordinance as is," and reminded them that it would take four votes to pass. There were only five members present. Councilor Eric Johnson was absent, and retired councilor Rich Durnan was already in Cambodia with the Peace Corps.
"What happens if we don't pass this tonight?" Gunning asked Kappa.
Then, Kappa responded, since overarching state regulations went into effect July 1, "There is no limit" to the number of license applications Ridgway would have to entertain.
Kavanaugh voiced a sudden change of heart. "I think it's more important to pass something than to quibble over [whether we allow] two or three."
"Me too," said a contrite Gunning.
"I think that's very helpful of you," said a relieved Mayor Clark.
As of last week, the town had received no applications for medical marijuana businesses.
With the seat vacated by Peace Corps volunteer Rich Durnan sitting empty, and Councilor Eric Johnson absent, Ridgway Town Council barely mustered a quorum at last week's regular monthly meeting. At the end of business Wednesday night, Mayor John Clark introduced Bo James Nerlin, who had been sitting quietly in the audience, to fill the vacancy.
Nerlin is a graduate of Telluride High School, an attorney with J. David Reed, P.C. in Montrose, and a three-year resident of Ridgway.
"He comes with good qualifications and recommendations," Clark said. "I'm excited to have Bo join us."
Councilor Ellen Hunter moved to accept Nerlin's nomination. Councilor Rick Weaver seconded, joking, "Just as long as I get to keep the seat I'm in now [Durnan's old seat]. I've been on the outside seat for too long." Nerlin laughed and accepted the rookie's far outside chair.
Town Clerk Pam Kraft said, "A clarification: The appointment is just until the next town election in April 2013."
Clark further clarified: "He'll be sworn in next month. Welcome aboard."

Recipe by OAC
"This is a classic appetizer cheese spread that can be spread on crackers or onto bread."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (4 ounce) jar
pimento peppers, chopped with juice reserved
1 cup
1 pound
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup
chopped pecans
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
The secret is cream cheese. Use Miracle Whip in place of mayo. Blend cream cheese, pimentos,pecans first. Add cheddar, then miracle whip as needed. Use miracle whip to freshen up.
If you're looking for the pimento cheese eaten in the Southern US, this is NOT it! To make the "classic" spread, omit the nuts, add just a dash of hot sauce (for flavor, not heat), and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. It will keep for weeks in the fridge and makes a great sandwich. Also good melted over tortilla chips.

This is our absolute fav pimento cheese. We have been making it this way for a few years. Some tips. Shred your own cheese. Its SO MUCH BETTER. Its a lot of work to shred a pound of cheese, but the package stuff just does not compare. If you are going to serve it as a spread for crackers (as opposed to a sandwhich spread, which to me is odd, but lots of people like it that way), don't add all the juice from the pimentos. It will be too runny. Drain and save the juice and add as much as you want to make it a nice considtancy to serve as a cracker spread. To me, a little bit of pepper and salt goes a long way...but thats a personal preference!
This was not our favorite. We love pimiento cheese, and my husband loves pecans, but this recipe just didn't work for us. A waste of good pecans. Sorry.
I'd recommend decreasing the amount of nuts in it. After a few days, the pecans gave it a bitter taste and was too overpowering. I did not add any pepper to it.
Very good, I added a little tabasco and chopped nuts.
This is a simple basic Pimento Cheese recipe; just what I was looking for. I think that it is delicious. I used salad dressing instead of mayo because I like the tart taste of salad dressing.
yummy! just don't store toooo long! anything changes taste in 3 days!

Calhoun County Assistant Coroner Shane Adrian identified the boy who died as William Parris, also 12, of Jacksonville. He was known as "Will," Adrian said.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson said the shooting occurred at a home on Macon Johnson Drive in Pleasant Valley Tuesday afternoon. The two boys were playing outside on a trampoline, Amerson said, and Parris' cousin went inside his home to get the shotgun, intending to show the other boy the gift.
The sheriff said Parris was standing on the trampoline when the shotgun, which had been loaded with one shell, went off, its discharge hitting the boy in the chest. The Jacksonville Fire Department and a Life Saver helicopter responded to the incident.
"The injuries were too severe and the young man was pronounced dead at the Jacksonville hospital," Amerson said, referring to RMC Jacksonville.
Parris was pronounced dead at 4:54 p.m. Tuesday, Adrian said.
Amerson said an adult was at the home during the incident, but was in the house cooking dinner.
"This is a terrible tragedy," Amerson said. "The boy described his cousin as his best friend."
Schools react
Teresa Johnson, principal at Pleasant Valley Elementary School where Parris was a student, said sixth-grade students there had counseling available and a more flexible schedule Wednesday following the death of their peer.
"All the activities today are geared on a healing atmosphere," Johnson said.
The principal said she and several teachers made calls to all the sixth-grade students' parents Tuesday night after learning about the boy's death.
Johnson said the educators wanted parents to be able to tell their kids rather than the students finding out through texting or social media.
Johnson said a group discussion was held with students Wednesday morning so faculty could dispel rumors and answer students' questions.
"It was a tragedy that happened. That's the message we're presenting to our students; it was an accident," Johnson said.
Students asked for prayers for the seventh-grade boy who accidently shot his cousin. One student recited a Bible verse and said "he believes the Lord does things for a reason," Johnson said.
Johnson said the students are planning an assembly to share stories about Parris and are going to wear University of Alabama apparel on Friday because "he was such a big Alabama fan."
Ashley Cranmer, a science teacher at Pleasant Valley Elementary, said the sixth-grade class of nearly 90 students is "leaning on one another right now and helping each other through it."
"He was such a sweet boy," Cranmer said of her student. "He was kind to everyone."
Pleasant Valley High School Principal Mark Proper said the boy who owns the shotgun is a current student. Proper said classes were being conducted as usual at the high school Wednesday, but a group discussion of the incident was held with students.
"We covered exactly what happened so we could squash any rumors and let them know the truth that it was a horrific accident," Proper said.
After the discussion, the principal said students did not ask many questions about the incident. Proper said counseling was available for students who desired it. The principal said the accident did not prompt a discussion on gun safety with students.
Firearms safety crucial
The prevention of such accidents relies on knowing when a gun is loaded, according to one local expert.
Sgt. Andrew Howell, a Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries law enforcement officer, said one of the main rules when handling a gun is to make sure it's not loaded. Howell said that rule is always taught in Alabama's Hunter Education Course.
"We also recommend locking guns away separately from the ammunition," Howell said. "That's the main thing we teach for keeping guns around the home."
Howell said if a person keeps a loaded gun for protection it's a good idea to buy a handgun safe. He said the safe can be accessed with a key or combination lock and "makes it easily accessible by the right person."
The sergeant said a trigger lock can also be used if locking a firearm away is not an option. A trigger lock makes it easy to see if a gun is loaded because the firearm's action is kept open and the gun is unable to be fired while the lock is in place.
"It's the simplest, most inexpensive tool you can use to keep (a gun) safe," Howell said.
Howell said it's important to always be familiar with a firearm before handling it.

On Friday, the Albemarle boy's soccer team will take to their home field for the first time since winning a state championship. The defending AAA champs host Massaponax 7 p.m.
The Patriots have already played two games on the road, winning one and tying one.
With twelve seniors gone from last year's squad, this is a very different Albemarle team than last year's. But they say they learned what it takes to win a title, and that will help them as they try to repeat as champions.
"Just team chemistry, and just hard work throughout the entire season, home and away," senior Matt Sheffield says of what made them great last year. "We've just got to treat each game like is the last one."
"Last year we had, I think great team chemistry, great ball movement, and like I said great players," says senior Andrew Solomon. "They always knew what to do, where to put the ball. That's just something that we need, they had more experience so we need to work on that this year. And then hopefully we'll do well this year again."

Diana Guelespe earned her Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology from NEIU in May 2000. In December of 2003, she earned her Master's in Political Science at NEIU with an emphasis on International and Comparative Politics. Guelespe decided to go on for a Ph.D., and was the recipient of the Brommel Doctoral Scholarship.
Diana remarked, "When I first learned of the Brommel scholarship, I was surprised that NEIU awarded scholarships for their alum to study in other universities. I applied for the Brommel scholarship during a time when there were many spending cuts in education and scholarships. The lack of funding, among other things, was particularly stressful as I entered the program.
"Receiving the Brommel scholarship was like a vote of confidence. It felt great to receive this support and made me feel proud to be a NEIU alum. It also made it possible for me to receive other types of scholarships later in the program. I'm very grateful to Dr. Brommel, NEIU and the donors who made it possible for me to continue my studies."
Guelespe continues to make progress towards her Ph.D. and hopes to defend her dissertation in December 2012. She was invited back to NEIU this year to teach a course on "Immigration, Ethnicity and Citizenship."
Elizabeth Cervantes is a 2011 Kane Scholarship Recipient and Sociology Major at NEIU. Cervantes commutes an hour-and-a-half each way to attend classes. She works 30-40 hours a week to afford her tuition, while maintaining a 3.8 Grade Point Average. Cervantes commented, "I'm so grateful for this scholarship. I will not forget the help I was given, and this gift will not stop with me because somewhere in the future I will give back to others. The challenge of pursuing my education has made me stronger and now I feel like I can do anything—like I'm unstoppable."
Jessica Mamola, student, College of Education, was the first recipient of the Dr. Olga Kaszubowski Memorial Scholarship. "This scholarship meant so much to me and to my family. Being able to focus on my studies without worrying about financial pressures has been a great experience for me. I lost my father at a young age, and since then, finances have always been an issue for my family. I was so relieved to see some of the pressure lifted from my mom and my grandparents. I'm very proud to be the first recipient of the Kaszubowski scholarship, and to follow in Olga's footsteps by becoming an educator who will give back to my community." Mamola recently completed on her senior honor's thesis, which will explore the impact of text messaging on childhood literacy among 3rd grade Chicago Public School students.

Elekid has all the traits that a Pokemon needs to succeed in Little Cup. As the tied fastest unboosted Pokemon in the tier, with solid offensive stats and a wide movepool, Elekid has a lot going for it. However, as has always been the case for its older sibling Electabuzz, excellence on paper does not always translate to excellence in practice. The transition to BW brought with it the introduction of Eviolite, which is a perpetual middle finger to Elekid. Wide super effective coverage is not the same as powerful neutral coverage, which is something that almost every self-respecting offensive Pokemon has in some form or another. Because of Elekid's lack of overall power, it cannot break many of the walls that it could in DPP thanks to their shiny new Eviolites. 35 / 37 / 55 defenses are downright pitiful, ensuring that Elekid's deadly circuitry is blasted apart by all but the most feeble of attacks. Despite these downfalls, Elekid can stand tall with its numerous offensive options and Speed stat that towers over the entirety of Little Cup.
This set takes advantage of all of Elekid's strengths: its excellent Speed, decent Attack, and stellar coverage. Before you are tempted to play Elekid like a stereotypical glass cannon, note that it is kind of lacking in the cannon department. As such, leaving Elekid in on a defensive Pokemon is not the way to go because they will set up entry hazards on it, status it, or simply just attack it. Rather, you want to utilize VoltTurn and double switching to get Elekid in against the frail offensive Pokemon it can demolish. Wild Charge is fairly powerful, OHKOing most frailer Pokemon. Ice Punch does have some overlaps in coverage with both Fire Punch and Wild Charge, but it hits Dragon-types super effectively and provides a recoilless option to hit Murkrow and other Flying-types. Fire Punch is used to hit Snover and Steel-types super effectively. Between Ice Punch and Fire Punch, most of the Grass-types in Little Cup not named Lileep have trouble switching into Elekid. The moveset is wrapped up by Cross Chop, which is vital to hit Scraggy and Porygon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Elekid can effectively run a Choice Scarf set, as it can outspeed Choice Scarf Murkrow and pretty much every boosted Pokemon in Little Cup, in addition to being able to use Volt Switch to scout. However, this only worsens Elekid's offensive inferiority complex, as the lack of Life Orb makes its lack of attacking power much more obvious. A mixed set, a signature relic of DPP, is also usable, with an EV spread of 96 Atk / 160 SpA / 240 Spe, a Jolly Nature, a Life Orb, and a moveset of Thunderbolt, Hidden Power Ice, Cross Chop, and Substitute. However, the previous metagame did not contain mixed Murkrow, which is superior to Elekid in every way due to having more power, better coverage, similar Speed, priority, and usable bulk.
Checks and Counters
Elekid is one of those Pokemon that doesn't require specific counters for it alone. It cannot break any of the commonly seen bulky Pokemon in Little Cup that carry an Eviolite. Some examples include Misdreavus, Chinchou, Croagunk, Hippopotas, and Dwebble. Any Choice Scarf user that is faster than unboosted Elekid, such as Murkrow and Porygon, can easily revenge kill it. Under sand, Drilbur and Sandshrew outrun Elekid and can force it out with the threat of Earthquake. Priority moves, such as Murkrow's Sucker Punch and Croagunk's Vacuum Wave, hit Elekid hard due to its frailty. Compared to other threats in Little Cup, Elekid is relatively frail and weak, easily checked by many common Pokemon.
