The revived Charlie's Angels series is going back to its roots.
The new show – starring Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly and Rachael Taylor – will feature an episode called Angels in Chains, which is loosely based on the iconic original from the hit '70s series.
The episode, airing Oct. 6 on ABC, will show the three Angels being framed by crooks and thrown into a women's prison.
The series reboot premieres on Sept. 22 at 8 p.m., marking the 35th anniversary of when the original debuted.

What about the ability to not show the popup if the user is on a mobile device?
What about the ability to not show the popup if the user is on a mobile device?
Hi there Michelelougheed,
Greetings and thanks for your question.
I'm afraid this isn't possible out of the box, however you could use a CSS media query to do this http://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/
Thank you!
Kind Regards
Thanks. Bit more work than I was wanting to do to make this happen.
Any plans to add this feature in the future?
Hi there @michelelougheed,
Greetings, it's certainly something we can consider adding, there aren't any current plans, but I'll bring it up :)
Thank you!
Kind Regards
I like to have such a condition / feature too.
my popup is set to a fixed size and that is bigger than any mobile device screen.
Hi @michelelougheed,
Just updating here that the pro version of this plugin http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/the-pop-over-plugin/ has a feature that lets you hide the popup if the user is on a mobile device.
Hi there,
I just bought the plugin to have the option to disable popup on a mobile device, however I cannot see that option there.
Can you please advise?
I just bought the plugin
Then please start your own topic on that plugin author's site. Commercial products are not supported here.

On the Shoulders of Giants : Essays in Honor of Glenn W. Olsen, edited by David F. Appleby and Teresa Olsen Pierre.
Call Number: CB351 .O58 2015
This recent collection of essays features an entry by SPU professor of History Alberto Ferreiro titled "A Little More than the Angels." Dr. Ferreiro analyses a sermon given by St. Vincent Ferrer, a 15th century evangelist who traveled widely throughout France and Spain. In this sermon, St. Vincent preached about the life of St. James the Apostle, and how St. James, by devoting his life to good works and proclaiming the gospel, came to take on the very nature of Christ. Dr. Ferreiro attempts to show how St. Vincent's focus on St. James bears witness to a shifting emphasis in the high medieval period, toward a greater focus on the human nature of Christ, and the ways in which Christians could seek to imitate Christ in the perfection of their own human nature.
This title can be found on the New Book Shelf, on the main level near the stairs.

Today we did a postcard and a fact sheet on tobacco. It was very interesting to know 480,000 people die per day due to tobacco. Its Also extremely sad to hear that addiction to tobacco is a major problem not only nation wide but worldwide. As a youth i am striving to change the future of tobacco and its harmful ways. Asian media access is a great way to reach that dream because they are promoting healthy living and it inspires me more day to day making these postcards and factsheets.

I learned how many people Tobacco kills on a daily basis. Tobacco products kill over 1,200 people a day. I also learned they are planning to make a MetroTransit Light-rail in North Minneapolis.
We also watched a video on the topic Bi-Cultural. Bi-Cultural means to me, all people come together from different cultures and try to be one. They end up sharing parts of their culture with others and take on the ways other cultures.
If i was in the Tobacco film, I would've talked about how Tobacco products rip families apart Physically, Mentally, and Financially. I would also talk about the damage it does to your Lungs, Throat, and Body. I would also have said don't try it because its highly addictive and you wouldn't want to take the risk.

Smoking is a very bad habit to teens and adults. Young people who smokes is at least at the age of 15 yrs. old & up. Why young people do smoke is because of stress from problems round them, peered pressured from peers, education, and in different perspective some people thinks it's "cool." Most young people who find it hard to quit smoking is because of so much nicotine that they get from regular use of smoking causing addictions. In some use and people who I know that smokes has affected me in ways I don't want to see myself in the next couple of years. I don't want close family relatives to pass away from addictions that I could stop them from. So every time when I attend to family gatherings, I'll target the people who smokes and put some good sense into them. I'm not even kidding. I even convinced my boyfriend to stop smoking and it's been a year since he had one. It's bad to all people who smoke and people who are around them. It could give you (second-hand smoke) lung cancer even if you never smoked a cigarette in your life. So that's why I choose to be tobacco free.

From the "Anti-Tobacco on Youth" brochure, here are 10 tips to keep away from tobacco and stop it from spreading.
1. Prevent yourself from secondhand smoking (don't breath in the same air when smokers are smoking).
2. Avoid being peer pressured from your social groups and society.
3. Stray away from smokers that could possible try to put you in awkward situation.
4. Prevent putting your health at risk by not using tobacco.
5. Help discuss about tobacco use and its risks with younger people.
6. Keep cigarette smokers far from young children and babies when you can.
7. If you're 18 and over, don't buy cigarette packs for youths.
8. Don't use electronic cigarettes in place of tobacco use. It is proven to be harmful as well.
9. Try to cope with your problems/stress in a healthy positive way, rather than turning to tobacco and other dangerous sources as your first resort.
10. Say no to tobacco when offered.
Remember the choice is yours. Think about what you can do and what you would do for yourself and for the sake of others. It's not about everything else at the end of the day so be smart about your decisions.

"Each day in the United States, more than 3,200 people younger than 18 years of age smoke their first cigarette."
Have you ever wonder why so much teens are part of the overall population who smokes tobacco? It is an issue that people, programs, and campaigns have been trying to prevent because of the health issues related to tobacco. Despite the strong emphasis that tobacco use is dangerous, why exactly are teens still continuing to do it?
Well, here are some possible reasons why:
- Access to tobacco resources. Whether it's someone they know or a specific place that they can purchase it, illegal exchanges and distribution are widely spread in the U.S. Teens may have a lot of connections such as a dealer, friends, family, etc., that allows them to have the substance.
- Peer pressure. Teens are easily pressured to grow up by society and people. Those who are older or 'experienced' consider themselves highly upon others who have not tried it. So that is why teens are influenced to fit in with everyone by doing what the 'experienced' group want. (And this extends more than tobacco).
- Trying too hard to be living the 'stereotype' teenage life. We all know that there are stereotypes of what American teens should behave like: being rebellious, crazy, wild, party animals, and unpredictable. It is how society project the way teens should act like: partying, having early intercourse, doing drugs, and drinking underage. When teens see those things, they start to accept it and think they should act like that. So some teens may want to live up to those stereotypes because they think that in order to experience the 'teenage life', that it is the correct way. (Which it is incorrectly presented and too overrated.) Maybe it's time for everyone to change their mindset on how they can experience teen life?
- Person pleaser. Sometimes, it's the individual who is a person who can't stand up for themselves and other teens take advantage of that. When someone is a person pleaser, they're easily targeted and do things that they may not want to do. There might be some fear involved that they may lose their friends or judged or not fit in or are afraid and cannot speak up.
- Some teens simply don't care. Not everyone pays attention to the health risks of using tobacco or don't care at all. There is not much we can do for them because it is their choice after all. We can advise teens in hope to decrease the amount of teen tobacco users, but at the end of day, it's up to them to decide.
- Stress? Stress can vary from mild to bad, but teens may turn to more dangerous routes to cope with it. There are other available options to deal with stress. But some teens would not want to discuss about it with someone or try another positive alternative.
- Want to try tobacco? Teens are curious about a lot of things and that is both a good and bad thing. In reality, it is not like teens don't know using tobacco can harm their body. Some use the excuse of how they just want to 'try'. We can't stop their curiosity and decisions when it comes to health related matters. We can only educate them best about the risks.
- Outside influence. Besides the usually circle of friends and family, there are outside influence that causes teens to want to use tobacco. For example, influential people and things such as celebrities, movies, music, magazines, etc. Those kinds of things does put an image in teens' heads that it's socially, culturally accepted. Yes, people in the U.S. are allowed to smoke at the age of a legal adult. But it doesn't apply to the underage population.
- Some teens/kids start younger than expected. And it means kids younger than high school age do use tobacco too. This is a huge problem because that means tobacco use is spreading onto younger kids everyday. It is likely that these younger generations may not realize the larger consequences of using tobacco. And, young tobacco users are more likely to continue when they're in high school and possibly after it. "In 2012, 6.7% of middle school and 23.3% of high school students currently used tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, hookahs, snus, smokeless tobacco, pipes, bidis, keteks, dissolvable tobacco, and electronic cigarettes." – http://www.cdc.gov/
- It could be addiction? Some teens don't know that tobacco contains harmful chemicals such as nicotine. A substance that is founded to be addictive and could cause nicotine addiction. So that is why it's hard for people to stop using tobacco. There are those teens who are not aware that tobacco addiction is both a mental and health issue that needs help.

With the introduction of cigarettes, many negative effects continue to happen because of the toxic chemicals that are being made available and sold to people. Although the tobacco industry has been around more than 50 years, their customers probably have not made it that far. It is quite sad that the sacrifice for such riches are their customers who are the ones at risks. Here are some facts that you should know about cigarettes:
"Over the past 50 years, more than 20 million Americans have died as a result of smoking, including 2.5 million nonsmokers who died from heart disease or lung cancer caused by exposure to secondhand smoke." - http://www.tobaccofreekids.org
- Smokers now are more at risks compared to smokers in the past due to the change of ingredients in cigarettes.
- The tobacco industry continues to thrive and increase the price of their brand(s) and in return, makes billions of profit each year off of their customers.
- People who smoke put lasting effect on their teeth. Not only will the teeth began to stay yellowish, there will be a increase of plaque and tartar, risk of developing oral cancer and luekoplakia, and losing teeth involved.
- The effect it takes on our society is the increased death rates, loss of productivity, and increased health care cost.
- Cigarettes have been proved to be addictive with nicotine as one of the ingredients, therefore, it does explain one of the reasons why people still continue to smoke.
- Factors that influence people to smoke even though they know it is bad for them is because of stress, peer pressure, temptation, curiosity, parental/surrounding smokers, false information, addiction, media, and comfort.
- Tobacco related diseases are preventable! But it is really up to smokers to decide when to quit and let their body recover.
- There is no real solution to shut down the tobacco industry, but we can decrease the rate of deaths, lower the risk of diseases, and cigarette customers.
- Smokers will often cough up mucus that went wrongly into the lungs, therefore a continuous cycle of shortness of breath and having less oxygen in the body.
- There are reasons why cigarettes don't have the ingredients in it listed on the package. It is because they do not want their customers to know the chemicals and toxins that are put in cigarettes. If tobacco industries did such thing, it would undermine their point that "smoking is acceptable".

Do you know what you're smoking in cigarettes?
Cigarettes contain nicotines which increases the chance of stroke. Also, your body will crave for nicotine over time that can lead to an addiction.
You will be inhaling carbon monoxide, the gas that is produced in the car exhaust.
One cigarette can damage your lungs and weaken your immune system.
Do you want to inhale arsenic which is found in rat poison? Ammonia which are found in toilet cleaners?
The more you smoke, the more you are at risk in cancer.
Stop smoking today.
For your health sake and those loved ones around you.

Tobacco Poetry 1
Tobacco, truth has been told
Tobacco, I'm snappin cigarettes
Tobacco has disrespected us, now it's time to fight back
Tobacco, cigarettes are dangerous
Tobacco destroys our lungs, tobacco destroys our lives
So we can't have any fun
Tobacco can't you see
We already know that you killed me
Tobacco Poetry 2
Tobacco is wacko, it makes me sicko
Tobacco is harmful, it is very alarmful
Tobacco is bad, it makes people sad
Just to smoke a pack, which you will regret, and can't take it back
So when you die, please say goodbye
So please, if you're thinking about smoking, don't
Tobacco Poetry 3
Tobacco, if you're a teen, don't smoke the jelly bean
Or you'll become mean
It makes you want to scream in pain, it makes you go insane
So don't smoke, or you'll look like a dog
Face all wrinkly, breath all smelly
Teeth all yellowy
It's gonna be deadly

Before we even knew how many innocent lives were lost in the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, many were already rushing to lay blame.

I am working on a texturing algorithm for 3d graphics and I am trying to rotate triangles that are attached at a point so that they are connected (share a single edge) I am using
$\tan^{-1}\left( \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1m_2}\right )$ where $m_1 \gt m_2$
This is working well in some test cases but not in all... I have two lines one with slope ~$1$ and ~$(-0.3)$ which gets me
$\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1.05555556+0.368567038}{1 + (1.05555556)(-0.368567038)}\right) = 1.16553753\space \text{radians} \approx 66^o$
This is correct if the line with slope $-0.3$ is moving down to the right while the line with slope $1$ is moving up to the right however the direction of the $-0.3$ slope is moving up and to the left. Is there a way to parameterize this function so that I can provide the direction the lines moving in? Thanks.

Microsoft is an amazing company to work for. It's an incredible environment where we as employees all are encouraged to realize our potential in everything we do. As a person, I've developed so much in just the last couple of years, and on so many different levels too. And really, it's the way Microsoft does things that inspires me. Here's a case in point.
Last week the whole company (minus only a few with prior super important engagements), nearly one hundred of us in all, spent a couple of days together in a team-building experiential off-site. What does that mean? That means, the whole company split into four assigned groups, participating in various reasonably rigorous physical activities, all in the name of team-building. Kinda like an army boot camp, but no where near as strenuous, and much less, "Yes, Sir!". And the physical activities? Stuff like swinging from ropes, climbing 12 foot walls, abseiling, negotiating obstacle courses, trekking through the tropical jungle in the middle of the night, various other "team" activities out in the Malaysian sun (or night)... oh boy.
I was in team 'A' which was later to be known as team ACE. Here we are. Happy bunch. So where was this? Genting Highlands; so not that far from Kuala Lumpur. It was certainly an experience for me, as I'm not what you would call a 'nature person'. You can probably tell that from my expression in this company-wide 'outside' activity. I think the caption should read, "Oookay we're listening.. you want us to stand here and do what??". Guess which one is me (clue: the handsome one, third from the left). ;-P
So, in the end what did it all mean to me.
Good on you, Microsoft!. I don't know many other companies that take time out like this to invest and develop their staff.

Virtual Sound Source Rendering Using a Multipole-Expansion and Method-of-Moments Approach
Using an arbitrary arrangement of loudspeakers, a novel method for rendering audio signals can create virtual and immersive environments. By emphasizing a small sweet spot, unlike the more popular wavefield synthesis (WFS), this method renders virtual sources in a small area around a single listener, which significantly reduces the number of loudspeakers required for comparable performance. A standard personal computer is able to run the computationally efficient algorithm in real time. An example demonstrates a tone moving through the listener's environment.

How do you set up your bug tracker priorities? More generally, what are your rules for working on them? How strict are you with "fix bugs first"? All of them?
I've marked this community wiki, and I'll post mine as a separate answer. (So you can vote them down if you think they suck :)

Having these buttons would speed editing up especially when working from a mobile device
Having these buttons would speed editing up especially when working from a mobile device
Are you using the WordPress mobile apps or the general wp-admin via a mobile browser?
general wp-admin but the suggestion would make life easier on the standard install as well.
The buttons are there on the browser version. If your mobile browser doesn't show them, then that's their problem/fault.
If you have a problem with a SPECIFIC mobile app (Android, iOS, etc), you should say which one :)
Nope this was a simple suggestion that having the buttons available on the editor interface would speed things up especially when in full screen mode. Perhaps I wasn't being clear,
You're not being clear, still. :)
When I use the domain.com/wp-admin/ interface to write a new post, I can see buttons for 'Save Draft', 'Preview' and 'Publish' on the far right, top most 'box'.
When I use the WordPress iOS app for the iPad or iPhone, I have a save button that shows up when I make edits.
So yeah, I have no idea what you're missing, cause it's there on a stock install of WordPress. What interface are you using? A WordPress mobile app or the normal webpage that comes with WP? The wp-admin is the STANDARD WordPress 'install'.
I usually work with WP editor in full screen mode. When you need to save you have to switch out of full screen to get to the buttons. It's a small but irritating issue.
Took me a while. You mean the Visual (GUI) editor's full screen mode. Yeah, I never use that. ;)
I suspect that's as designed, since you're making the EDITING area full screen, but you could ask at trac for that to be added in.
I've done that thanks for the heads up, how do you add your posts then?
HTML editor view. I'm old school ;)
I so like the full screen though it would ne nice to be able to flip between html and gui in full screen to ....
Back to trac methinks
Yeeeaaah do not flip between GUI and HTML. It'll screw up your code. I use HTML and then have a preview screen open to see what it really looks like.

Staying Fit In Fat City
New Orleans Is Trying To Kill You
Vaughn follows a fairly strict diet plan, which is no easy feat in a place where most starches are used as vessels for melted cheese and any vegetable that is capable of having its insides scooped out and replaced with seafood stuffing, by god, will and does. Vaughn has a beer or two if he goes to the bar. He drinks vodka if he wants to get tipsy. He is that guy — the vodka-soda-lime guy. He'd probably get drunk faster drinking his buddies' sweat, except his buddies haven't exercised in so long their bodies no longer know what to do with those glands.
The Post-Mardi Gras Liver CheckVaughn's one of those guys who believes if you don't go for a run early in the morning, you'll never get to it. That's fine, but there are entire swaths of the service industry and college crowd who probably see about five hours of daylight a week. Brad Smith, a bartender at one of New Orleans' hottest restaurants, Maurepas Food, goes running every afternoon before his bar shift, and even lifts weights two days a week at New Orleans Athletic Club, a gym that's probably a hundred years older than the one you work out in.
"I think especially with running, I have it set in my mind that I'm going. Even if I wake up in the morning having eaten and drunk my butt off, I know I'm still going to run and sweat it out." Yes, this man invents cocktails, like Millionaire Juice (a riff on the classic bourbon milk punch), that deliver about 800 calories a pop, and serves them to customers like Leonardo DiCaprio, almost every day of the week. But he's trying to stay sober this Mardi Gras.
"I haven't been drinking for two months." It's not every day you see one of the best mixologists in town, adorned with tats and ear plugs, running down the street in broad daylight and denying a shift drink after work. "I drank for a long time. I'm a bartender. But I just turned 40. So my idea is, March 1st, go in and get a physical to see where my liver is." Right after Mardi Gras? Apparently, last year Brad went out a little too hard. "Coming to New Orleans as a guest, it's very much like going to an adult Disney World; you throw caution to the wind. You're on vacation, so there's no consequences. So to move here, after traveling here so many times, that mindset clicks in initially, and it takes a bit to control yourself."
Brad's an example of a subsection of healthy New Orleanians who have learned to live healthily the hard way. When he says "all things in moderation," he's not just repeating some platitude he read on a fridge magnet once. He's keenly aware of what happens if you go too far. "I'm really big on finding limits of what you can and can't do as a human being. It's not bad to enjoy the spice of life, as long as it's under control."

Two men have been arrested on narcotics and weapons violations after Phelps County sheriff's deputies on Monday found weapons, controlled substances and drug paraphernalia at a gas station in St. James.

Quick to show up and estimate. However it was done poorly. Day of the pack and load they showed up with a truck entirely too small, at our inconvenience we had to return the next day so they could finish. We stored our items for 3 months. When they arrived to unload the driver and crew complained all day how heavy our items were. We paid for unpack but they refused. They threw boxes into rooms, putting heavy boxes on fragile items (boxes were marked as such). We're just finishing unpacking our things and my heart is broken at the disregard for things we clearly said needed care. My fault for trusting them with things of value? Maybe but I can only do so much with it and they guaranteed our things would be safe. We paid $13K and feel like we got totally screwed. They didn't treat our things with care, blatant disregard for our property. I would tell friends, family and strangers to stay away. These guys are terrible

I am deeply surprised by the services rendered by Atlantic relocation Systems. At first, the price offered was the lowest amongst several others and, yet, the initial contact with Mr. Andy Orlin, the mamager that presented our pricing, was very professional, knowleadgeable and could impress my wife and I. Again, during the preparation procedures, he was very helpfull and all our doubts and needs were fully assited. The move-out crew was also very gentle and kind. They did the impossible to ensure that our 186 boxes would fit a 20" container! Mr Ivan and his team did a true commendable job. We expected to receive the load no earlier than 6-8 weeks, but it took only 4 to get to the port and, surprisinly , the other-end partners were able to release it within 8 days only. Once again, the regular customs procedure were supposed to take 20-25 days! Finally, after the inspection on the contents we were surrised by the fact that everything were in perferc order. Among all the stuff, just one marguerita glass was cracked. I will surely recomend Atlantic Relocation Systems for everyone, and will use their sevices in the future again!

Our movers were extremely helpful and very professional. They picked up our belongings in Georgia and delivered in California in the time frame they promised. I would recommend this company to friends without hesitation.

Moving, to me, is horrible. I hate it. This, however - this was easy. The movers came, packed it all up, moved it, and unpacked it all at the end. No worrying about boxes, or tape, or recycling, or packaging, or renting a truck - everything was taken care of. Extremely easy, extremely smooth, and very professional. I would use them again.

I couldn't have been happier with Atlantic Relocation Systems. I was moving to Glasgow, Scotland, and so the move was a little more complicated than usual. The initial interview was great. I immediately felt like I was in good hands, with people who knew what they were doing. Over two days of packing, the packing crew was the most competent and pleasant I've ever experienced. Truly a pleasure to work with them. I couldn't believe how carefully they packed everything, and all the thought that they put into it. I can't imagine better movers, and could not recommend them more highly. They also came in with the lowest of three estimates that I obtained.

Had successfully used Atlantic Relocation Systems in the past, but after this experience, never again! They damaged a couple piece of my furniture during a recent move and even though the driver filled out paperwork stating the damages happened, they refused to pay. It was one excuse after another... piece listed as desk not a bookshelf, items were already damaged, you disassembled the pieces yourself... anything to deny payment. So, had my lawyer give them a call and then suddenly they "carefully reviewed my account" and decided to pay my claim. DO NOT DO BUSY WITH THIS UNETHICAL COMPANY!!!

Excellent movers. Professional in every way, from the prepacking survey with Andy to the courteous and efficient packing team you can contract with ARS with confidence. Should my wife and I need to move again ARS is whom we will contact.

I had a gentleman by the name of Curtis come to my house when we moved to Phoenix about 5 weeks ahead of our move date. I sensed immediately he had a very easy, reasonable and trustworthy way about him and gave small pieces of advice to us even if we ended up choosing another carrier, which I really appreciated. Their pricing is competitive but their thoroughness in inventorying my house far surpassed the other moving companies I got quotes from. Others spent barely 15 minutes in my house whereas Curtis spent nearly an hour going over coverage in case anything gets damaged and plenty of relevant steps for the move, telling us of his 30 years in the business--which clearly showed. On our actual moving day, everything went smoothly with moving staff that are part of the company with their own careful incentive program (I am told) rather than seeming like some outside hired hands who don�t know what the company wants for our move. Being their big summer moving season, Atlantic was clear that they could really only give date ranges for our end of delivery in Phoenix�not guaranteed dates as we kinda hoped�while the other moving companies seemed to reflexively wish to guarantee a particular date even if it seemed like they couldn�t really. I kinda felt that they were overpromising which Atlantic calmly wouldn�t do. I highly recommend them.

Terrible! They "lost" 2 of my boxes with irreplaceable keepsakes that my great grandmother gave me. Their claims department was very cold and not helpful at all. I am still dealing with them after 4 months of moving. Avoid at all cost!

Hello Karabee. I am truly sorry that your experience with us has been less than favorable to this point. I have been reviewing the related history, and I can see that the time that has passed has not helped with your perspective on things. However, I can assure you that during the time that has passed, efforts are continuously being made to rectify the situation. I'm a little late, but I am going to jump in at this point and try to help bring this matter to a faster resolution. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to call me to discuss this matter if anything comes to mind. Atlanta Sales Manager: Mike 404-351-5311 ext 126
Long story short, my things were delivered later than I needed them to be and cost me additional money and stress. Had this been a move in which a delivery range could have been acceptable, I would have excused the delay and other problematic occurrences. However, I went with Atlantic because my representative continuously reassured me that he was confident that my belongings would be delivered on a specific date. Lastly, without any justification (How charges were calculated, etc.) or notice, Atlantic charged my credit card for the discrepancy in cost as a result of their estimation miscalculation. Therefore, I cannot recommend Atlantic Relocation to anyone who must have an exact delivery date or cost quote, or who expects good customer service from those with whom they do business.

TCJ1221 - We understand your concerns and would like to address them. We reviewed your file and thought that we had reviewed the overage and discussed the pricing difference of a few hundred dollars. Your shipment went over the space allocated by almost 50% but we worked on your behalf to keep the additional cost to the absolute minimum. We did deliver your goods a few days later than scheduled and apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to give me a call at 404-351-5311 ext. 126 so that we can discuss your move in detail.

Good Evening Andy: I hope this email finds you well! I had a good feeling about you from the start and the same of John Cuthbert, Oh man, was I right! :) We have moved A LOT and this is by far my favorite move! Never thought I would say "favorite" and" move" in the same sentence. Let me classify this... Andy, you got us a quote so quickly and you came out to our home without any hesitation. You did the best that you could do on the price and for this we thank you a million times! You know how to earn a customers trust very quickly. To top it off you send the most dynamite crew to load and move us. John Cuthbert, Tevaris( sp) And Eric are just all around stand up gentlemen. John Cuthbert, is obviously at the top of his game without a doubt. Tevaris (sp) is SO awesome! And Eric well, he's a breath of fresh air. They came into our home as true professionals. They asked me not touch a thing and to sit down and relax because they were there to help 110%. They didn't complain or get frustrated ONCE and I threw some twist and turns at them. They kept me laughing and my spirit high the entire time. There is no doubt in my mind that if most moving companies had trained crews like John, Tevaris and Eric they would have a formula for success! I can't thank you guys enough. I wish you all the best. A very happy customer!

From the first contact with Andy to the final box being placed in the container -- it was a very professional experience. We went with them because they had experience moving out of the country and they would work with an overseas company that was paying the bill. Andy was very knowledgeable and engaging. The movers - a team lead by Wendell did an amazing job - careful, thorough and polite. Thank you to all!

Finally made the trip to Jay Peak this MLK Weekend to celebrate my birthday and was happy I did. Stayed at the brand new Tram Haus Lodge which put my girlfriend and I in the center of all the action. Even on a big holiday weekend the mountain never felt overly packed, I maybe waited about 10 minutes at the most for the Flyer Quad. I went here for the treeskiing, and I was definitely happy. Beaver Pond Glade was a highlight, with nicely spaced trees with sick moguls really made for a nice challenge. For expert skiers, this place is very tough to beat on the East Coast. Not sure how great this place is if you want to just cruise some blues all day, but if you want to push yourself and love to ski hard then definitely make the trip. The conditions were not the greatest, but after a couple of inches fell on the morning of my birthday it really helped improve things. I can only imagine how great it would be with 6-12 inches of fresh snow! Nightlife basically consists of the Tower Bar which was packed for Apres Ski but pretty chill later in the evening.

No: Parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances or colors, silicones, EDTA, glycol, or petroleum based ingredients.
Cruelty free and biodegradable: No animal testing of raw materials or finished product. No phosphates.
No SLS this company claims. Well Sodium coco sulfate that is listed in this shampoo has the exact same chemical number as the strong harmful substance Sodium lauryl sulfate. Sodium coco sulfate=Sodium lauryl sulfate. I bought this shampoo without checking ingredient list properly first. Smells good but will put it in the trash since I do NOT use harmful strong sulfates in my hair. I hate when companies try to fool consumers. Everything else I have bought at iherb has been good but this one was a big NO.
Nice smell
Posted by 5519875339405224411 on Jul 14, 2016
This shampoo was good, cleaned my hair very good and has a nice smell. The only problem (and maybe was just this one bottle) is that is was very hard to get it out of the bottle.

Lives hair alitlle dry
SLS from Coconut not good
Posted by MacnAZ on Jun 05, 2016
I have been doing the best that I can to avoid SLS and SLES for many months. I was pleased that I had learned that these chemicals could cause skin problems and that it was best to AVOID them. You can find these chemicals in toothpaste, soaps and many other items that will contact your body in one way or another. A couple of weeks ago I started to wonder about Sodium Coco Sulfate and decided to do research and find ANSWERS! When I did the research I was very disappointed with what I found because the companies that are making a BIG DEAL about their product being from coconut is misleading. It is an outright LIE that the coconut form of SLS is different. It is NOT! They are DECEIVING the consumer. Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Coco Sulfate are chemically THE SAME! [CH3(CH2)11SO4Na] There is no difference in the molecular structure. They are synthetic detergents. Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) is made by mixing lauryl alcohol with sulfuric acid and then adding sodium carbonate. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is actually worse and to make it less irritating they ethoxylate it. This means they add ethylene oxide to modify it. This reduces the irritation level of the chemical. SLES is a cheaper form of SLS and that is why many companies use it. The source of the raw materials; whether from coconut oil, palm oil or petroleum does not matter. Through the chemical synthesizing process the end product is still SLS or SLES and it is STILL BAD! The end product is very different from the raw materials that are used. I am not able to put my source links here, so do some research of your own and then we can expose the deceptive labeling that some companies are using.
Fantastic !

Walgreens corporate rejected the brand name "Not Bad!"
I bought these the last time I saw them go on sale - more than a year ago and I still have 75% of the cans that I purchased because these things taste so lousy. From the go, these things were very dry, tasted over roasted/burnt and had next to no seasoning (I get it - light seasoning is part of the appeal here, but perhaps a bit more seasoning would have helped in masking the bad flavor of these nuts)... By far, the honey roasted were the best, due to them having significant flavoring. The lightly salted and the smoked have proven to be inedible.
nice nuts
I buy these whenever they go on sale because walgreens is close to where I work. I've never had a problem with them. The taste was good and the light salt was enough (still a tiny bit much for my taste but I only like a little). I'll drop in today and pick up a few more to leave at my desk.
UGH, he beat me to it :(
@jayrookie: makes me sound gay but im secure in my masculinity.
Nooice! (Key & Peele, anyone?)
Find us a deal on Schweddy Balls too and I'm sure many more will wrap their taste buds around this deal. Who can resist Nice and Schweddy nuts and balls.
Bought a cannister of these a while back. They were good, but surprisingly, the Nice cannister seemed to last longer than comparable brands. I guess Nice nuts finish last.
Beware its exp. date are 04/2014. Do not stock up too many, otherwise it will pass the exp. date.
Sorry, sale is over. All are back to regular price.

Great service and clean room

Suite was clean and staff was friendly. Enjoyed my stay. Full size refrig was plus.
Good place to rest, however............
ByAlongshot 2u
July 13, 2016
Rooms being clean, staff very accommodating, good value,, the only thing I have suggested is to have a common area ice machine to be used by any and every guest. ln our room, the ice machine was, at the most, very slow upon making the cubes of ice. It would have been better for me to travel to the nearest convenience market and buy a buy of ice to use.
This is the only slight gripe I have. Otherwise, I will still stay here again, just bring my own ice.

Unit 1: Natural History and the Spread of HumankindUnit Overview
1. Stand and Deliver: Why Did Early Hominids Begin to Walk on Two Feet?, Ian Tattersall, Natural History, November 2003
What got humankind started on its unique evolutionary trajectory? The ability to walk upright on two feet—bipedalism is what it's called—allowed hominids to outshine their prehistoric cousins. As their environment changed, they adapted. Once they had the ability to hunt and taste red meat, the competition was over. Bipedalism was here to stay! So was meat!
2. Gone but Not Forgotten, Richard Monastersky, The Chronicle of Higher Education, December 1, 2006
A recent advertising campaign and an ill-fated television sit-com have brought cavemen to a wider audience. Recently, geneticists, using DNA samples from Neanderthals, have concluded that their relationship with Homo sapiens was much closer than originally thought. Will the Neanderthal cavemen finally get the respect they deserve?
3. Out of Africa, Spencer Wells, Vanity Fair, July 2007
By examining human genomes, obtained through DNA samples, scientists have learned that all of us can trace our existence back to Africa. Since that continent's peoples saved humankind from extinction, do we not have an obligation to assist Africans in their time of need?
4. Mapping the Past, Adam Goodheart, Civilization, March/April 1996
Genetic historians are using DNA analysis to track the migration of human beings. American Indians, for example, can be traced to a region of Mongolia, and Polynesians have been tracked to southeast Asia. DNA markers may eventually provide a "map'' of the entire human species.
5. First Americans, Karen Wright, Discover, February 1999
Long thought that the first humans in the New World crossed the Bering Strait at the end of the Ice Age, recent archaeological evidence seems to indicate that none of this may be true. Scientists continued to search for clues pertaining to who, how, and when the earliest Americans arrived.Unit 2: The Beginnings of Culture, Agriculture, and CitiesUnit Overview
6. Dawn of the City: Excavations Prompt a Revolution in Thinking about the Earliest Cities, Bruce Bower, Science News, February 9, 2008
The excavation of Tell Brak in northern Syria has cast new light on the history of urban development in ancient Mesopotamia. It also provides an interesting case study involving the rise and fall of Tell Brak, including the reasons for both.
7. The Dawn of Art, Andrew Curry, Archaeology, September/October 2007
Swabia today is a German region that many consider a center for creativity and innovation. The recent discovery of artifacts from as far as 40,000 years ago provides a possible line between present-day conditions and Swabia's advanced ancient past.
8. Prehistory of Warfare, Steven A. LeBlanc, Archaeology, May/June 2003
According to Steven LeBlanc, humans have been at each others' throats since the prehistoric era. This predilection for organized violence has been largely ignored by previous archaeologists, even though LeBlanc finds evidence in every corner of the world. Wars in prehistoric times—should we be surprised?
9. Writing Gets a Rewrite, Andrew Lawler, Science, June 29, 2001
The commonly-held belief that writing began in Mesopotamia five thousand years ago is being challenged by researchers today. Evidence gathered in recent years indicates that it may have developed simultaneously in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus River valley. But the findings, while promising, are not conclusive enough to make a case for that theory. Perhaps, future discoveries will shed new light on this important question.
10. Poets and Psalmists: Goddesses and Theologians, Samuel Noah Kramer, The Legacy of Sumer: Goddesses and Theologians, 1976
Was Sumerian society really male-dominated? Were women second-class citizens in civic, economic, legal, educational, and theological matters? Not according to recent archaeological discoveries. At least, prior to 2000 B.C.E., we have strong evidence that women of the ruling class enjoyed social and economic equality with men. And, in the heavenly realm, the Goddess Inanna retained her status as "Queen of Heaven.'' Enheduanna, daughter of Sargon the Great, presided over the temple in the city of Ur, as high priestess and resident liturgical poet.
11. The Cradle of Cash, Heather Pringle, Discover, October 1998
With the growth of cities and markets, there arose a need for a standard way to express the value of varied items. Simple barter became impossible. Silver rings, gold, and ingots provided this necessary medium of exchange in Mesopotamia as early as 2500 B.C.E.
12. How to Build a Pyramid, Bob Brier, Archaeology, May/June 2007
The size and scope of Egypt's pyramids has attracted the attention of scholars who both marveled at and mused about their creation and, especially, how this was accomplished. Recently, a theory which argued for the presence of an internal ramp made a seemingly impossible construction seem possible.Unit 3: The Early Civilizations to 500 B.C.E.Unit Overview
13. Indus Valley, Inc., Shanti Menon, Discover, December 1998
Starting around 3300 B.C.E., the Indus Valley civilization built some of the earliest planned cities at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, and they flourished for 700 years. Streets were laid out in a grid, and houses were constructed with standard-sized bricks. Practical and businesslike, the remains of the civilization reflect little warfare or elaborate burials.
14. Uncovering Ancient Thailand, Tom Gidwitz, Archaeology, July/August 2006
Charles Higham has spent forty years exploring and uncovering the archaeology of Southeast Asia. From his work emerge artifacts and fossils, which transform our understanding of this once-neglected part of prehistory.
15. Empires in the Dust, Karen Wright, Discover, March 1998
Four thousand years ago, some Bronze Age cultures—Minoan, Egyptian, Indian, and Accadian—disintegrated. Was political strife and social unrest responsible? Or was it a change in climate, which brought about severe droughts? The jury is still out.
16. Black Pharaohs, Robert Draper, National Geographic, February 2008
The influence of Black Africa on Egyptian civilization has been a contentious point of debate among archaeologists and historians. What cannot be disputed is that during Egypt's 25th Dynasty, black forces from Nubia conquered Egypt, resulting in a series of Black Pharaohs who ruled Egypt throughout this period. The most noted of these was Taharqa, who was sufficiently noteworthy to merit a mention in the Hebrew Bible.
17. Messages from the Dead, Marco Merola, Archaeology, January/February 2007
Qatna was a Bronze Age Syrian city-state, which was conquered and destroyed by the warlike Hittites. A collection of newly-discovered tablets chronicles the city's rise and fall, a testimony to the bellicose nature of Mesopotamian existence.
18. China's First Empire, Michael Loewe, History Today, September 2007
Created at the end of China's Warring States period, the Qin Dynasty established China's Empire. Led by its first Emperor, Shi Huangdi, the empire defined how China would be run for more than 2000 years.
19. Beyond the Family Feud, Andrew Lawler, Archaeology, March/April 2007
A recent debate among Mesoamerindian scholars concerns the role of the Olmec Civilization whose people were once referred to as "the Sumerians of the New World.'' Were the Olmecs the progenitors of Maya and Aztec Civilizations, or were they one among many people who contributed to the later civilizations?Unit 4: The Later Civilizations to 500 C.E.Unit Overview
20. In Classical Athens, a Market Trading in the Currency of Ideas, John Fleischman, Smithsonian, July 1993
The agora was the heart of urban life for Greek city-states. In this public plaza, people met to trade, gossip, argue, and vote. An open space surrounded by civic buildings and religious sites, the agora of Athens was the place where Socrates taught and died.
21. Alexander the Great: Hunting for a New Past?, Paul Cartledge, History Today, July 2004
Alexander the Great has become an almost mythical figure who inspired poets, painters, sculptors, writers, and historians to make him the subject of their works. Considered by many to be a god while alive, he continues to inspire today. Who was the real Alexander, and what was responsible for his greatness?
22. Sudden Death: Gladiators Were Sport's First Superstars, Providing Thrills, Chills, and Occasional Kills, Franz Lidz, Sports Illustrated, February 15, 2001
Gladiatorial games once a staple of Roman popular culture, have been resurrected today in various forms of extreme fighting. While not "murder as public sport,'' they remain reminders of how barbaric the Roman practice was, and what its existence said about Roman society.
23. Vox Populi: Sex, Lies, and Blood Sport, Heather Pringle, Discover, June 2006
Graffiti has become a modern art genre, but it is hardly a new creation. In Roman times, wax tablets and plastered walls presented places where citizens could express themselves, providing us with a glimpse into "the ragged edges of ordinary life.''
24. Woman Power in the Maya World, Chris Hardman, Americas (English Edition), May/June 2008
The Maya city of Waka', discovered in the 1960s, has added enormously to the history of Maya Civilization. Findings at this site included, unexpectedly, the fossils of women, along with accompanying artifacts, which indicated royal status. Does this discovery indicate the presence of woman power in the Maya world?
25. Secrets of a Desert Metropolis: The Hidden Wonders of Petra's Ancient Engineers, Evan Hadingham, Scientific American Discovering Archaeology, September/October 2000
The Arabian Desert traders, known as Nabataeans, built at Petra in southern Jordan an oasis city of 30,000 that had graceful temples, shops, and an Olympic-sized pool supplied by an aqueduct. Long thought to have withered after the Romans changed the trade routes, or to have been deserted after devastating earthquakes, the city is now thought to have prospered until the Islamic conquest of the 7th century A.D.
26. It Happened Only Once in History!, Max I. Dimont, Jews, God, and History, 1994
Historically, Jews have represented less than one percent of the world's population. Yet, they have managed to make significant contributions to every aspect of the civilizations in which they lived, in spite of suffering from discrimination and persecution. Max Dimont recounts how the Jews responded to the challenges hurled at them throughout history, and how they not only survived, but prospered.Unit 5: The Great ReligionsUnit Overview
27. Ancient Jewel, T. R. (Joe) Sundaram, The World & I, October 1996
Indian civilization is more than 6,000 years old. Its culture produced Hinduism and Buddhism and influenced philosophical thinking. Ideas about cycles of life and acceptance of diversity are only a part of the Indian contribution to the world.
28. What Is the Koran?, Toby Lester, The Atlantic, January 1999
Orthodox Muslims believe that the Koran has reached us today as the perfect and unchanged word of God. Comparisons with older versions of the Koran indicate changes and attempts to place the Koran in a historical context thus far have raised disturbing questions. Yet, this is necessary for an understanding of the Islamic civilization and all of its permutations.
29. The Dome of the Rock: Jerusalem's Epicenter, Walid Khalidi, Aramco World, September/October 1996
Jerusalem is as sacred to Muslims as it is to Jews and Christians. The Dome of the Rock, an octagonal sanctuary covering the rock from which Muhammad is believed to have ascended to heaven, dominates the skyline of the old city. It is a point where humanity is joined to God.
30. First Churches of the Jesus Cult, Andrew Lawler, Archaeology, September/October 2007
The early Christian churches and their communities were nothing like their contemporary successors. Small and scattered, they kept the faith alive until public acceptance and legal status were achieved. Recent excavations in the Holy Land are providing useful data regarding Christianity's early years.
31. Women in Ancient Christianity: The New Discoveries, Karen L. King, Frontline, April 6, 1998
What role did women play in the early Christian church? Was it a subordinate one or one that reflected gender equality? Karen King cites ancient sources that reveal women actively participating in early Christianity—as disciples, prophets, preachers, and teachers. The leadership roles of these early Christian women were suppressed for centuries until the rediscovery of original source texts has allowed us to re-enter the first centuries of Christianity.Unit 6: The World of the Middle Ages, 500–1500Unit Overview
32. The Survival of the Eastern Roman Empire, Stephen Williams and Gerard Friell, History Today, November 1998
In the 5th century C.E., the Roman Empire had become divided into two parts: the western one centered in Rome, and the eastern one in Constantinople. Both were subjected to barbarian attacks. The western empire succumbed to those attacks, but the eastern empire lasted for another thousand years.
33. The New Maya, T. Patrick Culbert, Archaeology, September/October 1998
Having dispelled the myth of a model Maya society led by gentle priest-kings, scholars are piecing together a fresh picture of the rise and fall of a complex civilization. As their research continues, more light will be shed upon this Mesoamerican civilization that, in its glory days, rivaled that of ancient Egypt.
34. The Ideal of Unity, Russell Chamberlin, History Today, November 2003
With Europe increasingly united and centrally controlled, one wonders if there has ever been a precedent for such an ambitious endeavor as the European Union. In the Middle Ages, there was one such attempt as the Holy Roman Emperors attempted to unify the continent. They ultimately failed; this selection tells why.
35. The Arab Roots of European Medicine, David W. Tschanz, Aramco World, May/June 1997
Following the end of the Roman Empire and the rise of Islam, Arab physicians benefited from translations of Greek medical works. The Arabs established the first hospitals and pharmacies, and beginning in the ninth century, they contributed their own ideas to the field of medicine. In the tenth century, European physicians were educated by translations from Arabic to Latin.
36. The Age of the Vikings, Arne Emil Christensen, Scientific American: Discovering Archaeology, September/October 2000
The Norsemen were more than feared warriors. They were also colonizers, city-builders, lawgivers, explorers, and merchants. Eventually, they settled in the British Isles, Normandy (in France), Russia, Greenland, and Newfoundland, where they left their cultural mark in a variety of ways.
37. The Fall of Constantinople, Judith Herrin, History Today, June 2003
In what many regard as one of history's turning points, the Ottoman Turks captured the Byzantine Empire's capital city of Constantinople in 1453. The background to this epic struggle and the valiant defense of the city in the face of insurmountable odds are recounted here.Unit 7: 1500: The Era of Global ExpansionUnit Overview
38. 1492: The Prequel, Nicholas D. Kristof, The New York Times Magazine, June 6, 1999
Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He of China led sailing expeditions to the west that reached the east coast of Africa. He could have sailed around Africa to Europe, but there was little reason to reach that "backward region of the world.'' Economic and intellectual complacency within China stopped the explorations. This set a course for the later domination by the West.
39. The Other 1492: Jews and Muslims in Columbus's Spain, Fouad Ajami, The New Republic, April 6, 1992
Christopher Columbus's three ships left Spain for their world-changing voyage to the Americas. The day before, the last ships carrying expelled Jews also left Spain under somewhat different conditions. An account of the latter exodus chronicles Spanish anti-Semitism, which includes the 1481 Inquisition and the 1492 Edict of Expulsion.
40. The Far West's Challenge to the World, 1500–1700 A.D., William H. McNeill, The Rise of the West: A History of the Human Community, 1991
During the era of global expansion, the Western nations were able to exert their will over those with whom they had contact. Why were they able to do this? William McNeill offers some reasons to account for the West's growing power to dominate the rest of the world.
41. A Taste of Adventure: Kerala, India, and the Molucca Islands, Indonesia, The Economist, December 19, 1998
From the day that Vascoda Gama and his Portuguese crew landed in India, shouting "For Christ and spices,'' the world has never been the same. The global spice trade that journeys like his created, changed forever the palates of people throughout the world and brought riches to exploring nations and their citizens.
42. After Dire Straits, an Agonizing Haul across the Pacific, Simon Winchester, Smithsonian, April 1991
Following the wake of Christopher Columbus, other European explorers set forth. One of Magellan's ill-starred ships succeeded in the first circumnavigation of Earth.
43. The Significance of Lepanto, Gregory Melleuish, Quadrant, April 2008
The Battle of Lepanto has been referred to as one of history's turning points, as it saved Europe from a potential Islamic invasion. It still deserves this acclamation. However, the victory was that of an emerging form of state over a powerful traditionalist empire.
