This was a good choice for an overnight stay. He only has about 5 spaces. Check in fast and courteous. Electric good. He is cleaning the grounds. Far enough off the freeway so no noise, but good access. - carold

This is an odd little place, but I've stayed here before and would again. There were 3 permanents here, never saw any of them. Their trailers were nice. The WiFi worked. I can't really say anything bad about the place, it's just a little add-on to a motel. - airstreamingypsy

It was very windy so we stopped at first place off main hwy. They only had 1 space available due to other 6 being occupied by perm. renters. We needed a place to spend night so we were glad they had a space. Pull thru short, very level, hwy noise all night and early in am perm. residents started vehicles and left around 6 am. It is definitely not a destination or "resort" park, but suited our need to get off the highway in the wind. Probably would not stay here again. - SASS21

This place was formerly called Wagon Spoke Guest Ranch and there are reviews under that name. This place is out is the country and there was no one around. There were just two other campers when we were there and they look to be permanent residents. There are quite a few RV sites with full hookups with trees all over and quite shaded. The utilities in our site worked good and placed in a good spot. The site was level with no need for leveling blocks. This place hosts weddings and large groups. They have rooms that are clean and it looks like a pool (tho it was behind an enclosure we did not look in). There are elk in a pen along with ducks, chickens, ginny hens, and a dog. The buildings are all open - bunkhouse, guest rooms, café, houses, office. I would stay here again. It's very interesting. - Kerch Family

Yes this place is out of the way and a little confusing to get to. There isn't anyone around, in fact no one around. Just call the number, which is an answering service and they tell you to just put payment in the drop box. Good sites, very quiet, coyotes yapping, real western feel. No frills, out in the boondocks feel. Old guest ranch, not used at all when we were there, but glad this place was available. Many Passport America parks are wrecked up, junky full timers places, this place was much better, as it was quiet, completely uncrowded and had animals and old rockers sitting on the covered porches of the old ranch buildings, completely old time Texas!! - Buzz777

We stayed because of the Passport rate, but here, you get what you pay for. The long driveway into the park is riddled with near unavoidable potholes. Tree branches overhanging the road are not cut back, so you have to choose between the potholes or branches scraping your roof. The office was closed even though it was midday. Roads within the campground are also unmaintained, and debris was embedded in the ground at our site. When we parked and plugged in, we found a well-established hornet's nest in the junction box. It was fun plugging in with them buzzing angrily around my head. We went to the pool, which looked inviting, but on closer inspection revealed leaves, dirt, and scorpions lurking at the bottom, with dead frogs floating in the water filters. The women's restrooms were dark and uninviting; we peeked in, but didn't enter. Would not stay here again for the $12.50, and certainly not for full price. If it weren't for the deer and farm animals, which were fun to look at, I would have given a lower rating. - Traveler13

This is actually a mobile home park with a few overnight pull-through sites available. Our site was long enough for a 35' motorhome and a car without unhooking, and it was level. All utilities worked well, as did the cable TV. Some of the interior roads have potholes. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. There are large trees at the sites, but they were trimmed well enough that we had no problem with our slides. The park was very quiet at night. This is a basic, economical overnight stop. We would stay here again. - 4windstrvlr

Facilities are newer. No trees and extreme winds were gusting all night. There was something like a club down the way on a Saturday night, which was loud, but that was very relative to the winds and highway, fairly close. Most guests are men working on contracts, solo, in the area. While it seemed completely fine, as a solo woman, I stayed to myself. No lock on the bathroom door. But I didn't interact with anyone either. Nor did I ever get too concerned. Laundry rooms was great. Service was very friendly and attentive. Offer propane and ice as well. Site is flat. - Joanyponyexpress

We became ill on the road and stopped at this park. We had a pull thru site and the park employee help us connect. Sites are gravel with grass between sites. Very quiet. Staff very courteous they called every day to see if we were ok and even called us a couple hours after we left to check on us. We stayed in motorhome with toad. Would stay here again. Only reason I rated a 9 is because no WiFi at site. - Huggs

We found this little park through Passport America and got an excellent deal! We paid $15 with our discount for a 30 amp pull thru spot. By far the best customer service of any park we have ever visited. It's a small park with no amenities but owner is amazing and was out there every day working on the property. We originally planned a quick 1 night stopover. however, after meeting the owner and feeling the peace of this area we extended another night. It's a nice spot to just relax! Nice trees next to each lot and when we were here not many campers so lots of open space. We will stay here again. - ClassArv
Apr 2016 - $20.00
This park is a start up by a wonderful family, they are working daily to make this a great little park, bath house and other things will come in time but what they are on site to make sure that you get parked and that you have everything you need. We stopped off I-20 and stayed 2 nights nice quite place to rest from the road. The park is just 3/10 of a mile off exit 224 on I-20. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit, fire wood is available free at the office no extras but a quite clean little spot - Bruce and Janette

2008 Directed by John Madden
Beautiful Carmen Colson and her ironworker husband Wayne are placed in the Federal Witness Protection program after witnessing an "incident". Thinking they are at last safe, they are targeted by an experienced hit man and a psychopathic young upstart killer.
Lawrence Bender Richard N. Gladstein Elmore Leonard John Madden Jim Powers Erica Steinberg David J. Webb Bob Weinstein Harvey Weinstein
An average movie at best...as we get a tale of good vs bad. On the bad side we get Mickey Rourke who plays an Indian hitman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt who plays a crazed bank robber who adds killer to his resume during the course of the movie. On the good side we get Diane Lane and Thomas Jane as a couple who are separated and on their way to divorcing. Fate puts these 4 people together. Rourke's character is supposed to be a career expert killer....yet the way he goes about his business makes you wonder how he survived so many years...as he makes mistake after mistake.
The highlight of the movie...and the reason I watched this movie....is the acting…
Fairly entertaining action thriller, Killshot boasts a varied cast of talented names and an entertaining story. But it has been done before, and better, however this is enjoyable viewing if you enjoy a tense, thriller that is entertaining, even if it doesn't add anything new to the genre. Killshot is not great, but I enjoyed it for what it is, an hour and a half thrills and with a good enough story to keep you entertained, it's worth seeing if you're interested in the genre. What makes the film interesting is the cat and mouse game being played throughout the film. Mickey Rourke is perfect for the part, and he does play a good on-screen villain. Even if the film…
Mediocre all the way. A pretty ugly film to look at. With all the talent behind this it was very disappointing to say the least.
Generoso tiempo-pantalla para mostrar cómo ♂ golpea-humilla-intimida a ♀, más o menos como el 98% de lo que se ve en cine y tv (las llamo películas-plantilla: sólo le cambias los actores, los nombres de los personajes y los lugares, y la historia es la misma). Casi le cambio por el antipático y sobreactuado Joseph Gordon-Levitt, qué fastidio de tipo. Lo bueno es que Mickey Rourke lo mata pronto. Mickey ha comenzado a darme un miedo terrible, es una bestia de actor, en el mejor sentido del término. Se trata del mismo tipo capaz de llorar genuinamente por su chihuahueño. La estrellita es sólo por él.
How can a movie with this many good actors in it be this bad!
Football legend John Madden comes out of retirement and makes a film starring Mickey Rourke as an American Indian hit man.
This was such a puzzling film. Like how did they get such great actors to do such a B movie level film, and why did some of them give such bad performances???
Rourke is the only one that seemed to actually give a damn about showing up to act in this thing. Lane and Jane give pretty blah performances, pretty much looking like they just showed up for the paycheck.
Gordon-Levitt is awful here. Over the top and you want to see someone put a bullet in his head to shut him up the very first second he shows up onscreen.
Holbrook is pretty much a wasted cameo, and Dawson is just wasted in a role to basically just walk…
This was an accidental watch. I bought a bunch of DVDs for less than a $1, one that I bought was a Whoopi Goldberg movie where she plays billiards to save her daughter or something, it was called 'Kiss Shot'. I took the DVD out of the case, put it in, and it was this. When it started with Mickey Rourke and a few assassinations, I thought "well maybe this could lead to pool hustling", but nope, the title came up after a few minutes, 'KILLSHOT'. I figured I'll watch it anyway. And, well…
"Don't hang around. Don't get interested. And don't make mistakes."
That's some good advice given by Bird when it comes to watching shit like this. I shouldn't have hung around, I never did get interested, but it was a mistake watching this. I guess the only moral I could gather from this story is: don't drag things out for too long.
An Elmore Leonard ripper that feels fifteen years older than it actually is. Rourke is a walking caricature so Gordon-Levitt modulates his performance to match. I needed that.
A movie that was plagued with production problems thanks to the brothers named Weinstein what should have been a decent action thriller turned to be a "checking the clock" every 5 minutes to see how much longer the film is. 1 hour and 29 minutes of cliché after cliché, the only two performances that I can give kudos to are Thomas Jane and Diane Lane.
Killshot should have had its day in court theatrically. It was a property that had been in the works for many years dating back to the mid-90s with the Weinsteins and nearly being made with a very intriguing pairing of De Niro in what is now Mickey Rourke's part of Blackbird and Quentin Tarantino in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's part of Richie Nix. And now, several years later, it comes to us direct to DVD (if it had a theatrical release I certainly missed it somehow), and considering its presentation as such, without any special features (out of shame or just not being able to get anyone for comment?) it's not that bad. At least, not as bad as one might expect,…
The exceptional cast make it worthwhile, just. Dull adaptation of a novel by an awesome novelist, vague hints of style and the odd burst of interest but no real intensity or humour. Tarantino did a great version of a Leonard novel, and Soderberg an even better one, maybe they could've done something with this story, but Madden's attempt is just flat. Even Striptease is more interesting than this.
Entertaining by-the-numbers thriller...

Open Letter To Michael Moore: Drop Obama & Vote For Jill Stein
Dear Michael Moore,In your recently published blog post 90 Million Are Planning Not to Vote - Your Mission: Take Just One of Them to the Polls, you wisely ignore the myth of the undecided voter and aim for a voting block that can truly affect the outcome of this election when you write:
"I want you—yes, YOU, the person reading this right now—to get ONE of your fellow Americans who would not otherwise vote to show up at the polls and support Obama.
Video: Helena Cobban, Roy Hange, David Swanson, and W. Scott Harrop on Iran, Syria, and the U.S. at War or Peace

By Chris Hofmann
President Obama last week signed the most important education legislation in over a decade, the long-awaited reauthorization of ESEA and No Child Left Behind. The provisions of the law will have a profound effect on what school is like for my class of 26 fourth graders and will reverberate throughout the everyday educational experiences of our nation's 50 million K-12 students.
The bill, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), is a significant improvement over earlier versions and makes key changes to the way we hold schools accountable for what students learn. It also provides a critical opportunity for experimentation and research in what makes a great school. That said, the law is not without its challenges. Ultimately, it will only live up to ESEA's legacy as a seminal civil rights law if educators, parents and students hold state lawmakers accountable for learning from past efforts and making changes that improve outcomes for all students.
One way that ESSA improves upon No Child Left Behind is that it recognizes that proficiency on state tests is only one dimension of a school's quality.
When I think about my fourth graders, I realize that no single data point can truly capture who my students are or what they can do. Likewise, no single data point linked to a state test score can truly capture the educational experience of a school. ESSA recognizes this and requires states to include at least four academic indicators: proficiency on state tests, English language proficiency, high school graduation rates and a fourth state-determined factor of academic quality.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Bipolar Depression
Device: NeuroStar TMS
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
- The percentage of patients who respond or remit after 30 to 35 treatments based off of the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]A decrease in MADRS score of at lease 50% will be considered a response to treatment. A MADRS score of less than 10 will be considered remission. We will subdivide patients based on the diagnosis of either bipolar I or bipolar II to compare effectiveness between those groups.
- The percentage of patients who meet criteria for onset of manic symptoms based on the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). [ Time Frame: Up to 7 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]A YMRS score of 14 or greater will be used for criteria of onset of manic symptoms. The patients will be separated based on their diagnostic category of either Bipolar I Disorder or Bipolar II Disorder.
- Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) to calculate percentage of patients meeting response criteria [ Time Frame: Up to 7 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
HAM-D response criteria will be based off a HAM-D score drop of at least 50%. Remission HAM-D score will be 7 or less. For the patients meeting remission criteria, we will calculate the number of treatments required to achieve remission. Patients who only meet response criteria will be treated for 30 to 35 sessions.
Responders and remitters will also be followed for six months after the final treatment to see the durability of response. Percentage of patients' meeting relapse criteria will be calculated.
- Clinical Global Impression (CGI) to calculate percentage of patients meeting response criteria [ Time Frame: Up to 7 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Remission criteria for the CGI score will be a 2 or less. For the patients meeting remission criteria, we will calculate the number of treatments required to achieve remission. Patients who only meet response criteria will be treated for 30 to 35 sessions.
Responders and remitters will also be followed for six months after the final treatment to see the durability of response. Percentage of patients' meeting relapse criteria will be calculated.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|December 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Open-Label TMS
Active Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Device: NeuroStar TMS
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Other Name: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Detailed Description:
The investigators propose to screen patients with bipolar depression I or II, who are already on acceptable mood stabilization. They may or may not be on antidepressants at the time of screening but subjects on antidepressants would be taken off them before completing the screening phase. Those patients who have a depression of at least moderate severity without significant symptoms of activation or mania will be started on a course of open label TMS treatment of up to 35 sessions. Safety and efficacy assessments will be done weekly. Patients will complete a course of treatment when they meet remission criteria (MADRS score < 10) or at the end of 30 treatments, whichever comes first. Patient who are still judged to be improving between treatment 25 and treatment 30 will be eligible to complete up to five addition treatments as the discretion of each site's principal investigator. Patients who meet response criteria (MADRS score decreases by at least 50%) will complete the full course of 30 to 35 TMS sessions. Patients will be withdrawn for safety concerns, particularly the onset of activation suggestive of mania or a mixed state.
Patients who meet response or remission criteria will be followed monthly for up to six months to evaluate the durability of response. They will be on standard mood stabilizing medications and psychotherapy per their clinician's discretion.

- Women of child-bearing potential who are not using a medically accepted means of contraception when engaging in sexual intercourse are excluded, as well as women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
- Positive urine screen for any substance of abuse will exclude a patient, with the exception of benzodiazepines. A satisfactory explanation in the opinion of the investigator along with a negative repeat screen prior to Visit 2 is possibly acceptable.
Current suicide risk, as evidenced:
- It is the judgment of the investigator that the patient may be at risk for suicide
- The patient has rated a "yes" to question 4 or question 5 on the Screening C-SSRS
- The patient has attempted suicide within the past 12 months prior to Screening.
- History of head injury, epilepsy or seizure disorder, non-removable metallic implants or objects in or around the head.

Environment review moving fast
An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could soon become a reality thanks to a report on the Review of Environmental Governance.
The report - a summary of the findings of the Review team chaired by Tom Burke - describes 'almost universal support' for the creation of an EPA.
Established by the Government, the Review is an independent inquiry to decide whether an agency is needed.
The Review's listening exercise took the form of meetings-in-public, written submissions and a number of study visits to other jurisdictions.
The report makes no recommendations, but it indicates support for an EPA to regulate pollution and the natural environment. Protection of the historic built environment is excluded though.
Other points of note are:
- decriminalisation of regulatory failure
- use of 'administrative penalties'
- the EPA to take its own prosecutions
The final report is expected in March 2007 following a further consultation.
Have your say
If you have an opinion on the future structure of environmental governance in NI, the Review panel would love to hear from you. Full details of how to get involved can be found at http://www.regni.info/ or by phoning 028 90541031.
A message board is now up and running so you can quickly and easily add your comments and join the debate. You can submit views on environmental governance, comment on the regni website, or respond to views expressed by another contributor. Please read the Review's message board policy (PDF† format) for further information.

I have not seen this doctor yet, but from the comments I have read, I am afraid to go to my appt next month. But I WILL go, and hope for the best. Just found out I have hypothyroidism, but my regular doctor is just not up on thyroid problems, and only did a TSH, T4, and T3 test. No antibodies or anything else. I'm hoping that Dr. Kamal will do a thorough exam. I am not at this time able to give him more than one star. Will update after seeing him. Thanks for listening.
Dr is very unprofessional and stubborn. I only went one time since I couldn't get in with my typical dr. He does not believe in technology. He is either too lazy to adapt to new technology or to lazy. Either way I only see it as ignorant.
There are 2 endocrinologists in Tuscaloosa. One is not taking new patients and Kamal had openings the same week of the referral. That right there should've told me something. I have been having raging hypothyroid symptoms for a long time and my OB did some labs for me. He referred me to Dr Kamal (only endo taking new patients) to look into my thyroid issue and told me I had low DHEA. Kamal did ask some questions and upon a physical exam did an ultrasound of my thyroid gland. He said that I had two nodules but "we'd check them in a year or so". It was beyond my imagining that a doctor would say that considering that nodules can be cancerous and I have a very high ratio of family members who've had cancer. He also said that my labs (that were sent by my OB) didn't show low DHEA. I trust my OB so I got copies of my medical records. My DHEA level did absolutely register as low and Kamal put in the notes that "patient did not identify with any symptoms that would go along with thyroid issues". An absolute lie! I have no idea why this doctor was unwilling to treat me in any way or even to do more thorough labwork. I can't decide if it's just a lack of knowledge or sheer laziness. I quickly made an appt with an internist who has been systematically trying to do all the labwork and tests to find a diagnosis. We are waiting for an appt with a better endo in B'ham but he called Kamal to update on his findings (as he was uncomfortable treating endocrine issues on his own) and see if Kamal felt that he should give me treatment for the Adrenal Insufficiency the tests showed. Kamal said no, that he saw no reason to be concerned, that the patient can wait until later for treatment. Adrenal insufficiency is dangerous and worsens over time with no treatment. Once again, I was blown away by an endocrinologist who seems to have so little knowledge about his chosen field of medicine. Please, please save yourself the time and money! Do not see this doctor as you will be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and try some endocrinologists in Birmingham. Demand to be treated well and if you feel that the doctor isn't listening then find another doctor. These bad doctors will not change their course as long as people continue to pay them for horrible treatment. There's a reason why doctor Kamal almost always has openings for appts so quickly. If he was good, since he's one of two endos in a town the size of Tuscaloosa, he wouldn't be taking new patients either.
This doctor doesn't explain things well and question if this correlates to lack of knowledge. I have nothing positive to say regarding my experience. Do your self a favor and drive to Birmingham if you can't get with the one other endo in Tuscaloosa.
I wouldn't recommend Dr. Kamal to anyone with a thyroid problem. He doesn't listen to what you have to say as a patient! He is not friendly and I was just so uncomfortable for those 20 minutes. I was referred to him by my family doctor thinking Dr. Kamal was just as great as my family Dr. I was supposed to get an ultrasound of my goiter but he did not do it, he acted as if he did not want to touch me. He did not explain nothing about graves disease to me and he explained the meds in very few words. Every time I spoke to explain and tell him bout my condition I was cut off and over talked by him. Luckily,I have knowledge and understanding of it myself and from my family doctor. My pharmacist explained the meds to me. I have an upcoming appointment in a few days. I will b canceling and looking for another endocrinologist to give my money to, one who will listen to me and how I feel and explain things to me.
I have been a diabetic since 18months old. This MD has been hands down my worst experience with a endo to this day and saw him for 2-3 years. He does no listen to the patient and their needs. He is stuck on his customs and refuses to consider newer technology. I have left in tears from this guy and never felt we were on the same page or he had my best interest. I would have tried another endo in Tuscaloosa though the only other one has a waiting list over a year as with most good endo's. This might explain why you can get an apt with this MD within a week typically. I learned alot on what to avoid in choosing a good endo. With diabetes you live and learn and only hope no one else goes through the experiences that I did. Look out for your self.
I had to wait an inordinate amount of time in the waiting area before I saw the doctor. I almost didn't come to this particular doctor because of the comments that were made regarding his bedside manner. I found him to be reserved, but friendly, even joking about Dr. Oz at one point. He does have an accent, but was not hard for me to understand. I will follow up with him in one year, as he suggested.
Went to him 2 years before and said nodules were fine and nothing wrong with borderline tsh levels. 2 years later diag with Hashimotos with a Tsh of 98. Spends less than 5 mins in the room, does not provide any info and is more concerned with scheduling you for sleep lab studies. Saw him 3 times and daughter saw him once and same thing, tried to schedule for sleep labs even though neither of us had any symptoms nor complained. Does not examine you at all. A no hands, terrible cold bedside manner approach. Im a nurse and most forgiving to most doctors but if you have thyroid issues please look for another option.
I have been diagnosed with low hormone levels. Dr. Kamal refuses to listen to any concerns I may have and immediately disregards any alternate treatment methods I inquire about. He also refuses to explain test results and their meanings to me. I am left to go home and research any questions I may have for myself. I recently asked about a treatment that MANY doctors are successfully using to treat my illness. I was IMMEDIATELY told that there was no chance that we would try it. There was no reason given, even when I asked, "why?". This is a treatment that Dr. Kamal is qualified and capable of trying on me and is proving to severely limit the very unpleasant side effects that I experience from current treatment. The last I checked, this is MY body and MY health. I am currently looking for a new Dr that actually cares whether or not I am feeling well and cares enough to at least explain why something may or may not be the best treatment for me. Is that too much to ask?
Dr. Kamal has been a God send to me. He has personally and promptly returned calls on a weekend. He is a very caring individual. I am type 1 diabetic and do not have insurance. He has provided me with insulin when I have been unable to pay and worked with me on his fees. I am shocked to read any engative review of this Doctor.
I would recommend that anyone with diabetesGo to him he knows his stuff
I have been a patient for a number of years as has my brother. I was shocked to read some of the reviews. He always spends ample time with me & gives me all the options necessary for treatment of both my Type 1 diabetes & my thyroid condition. an excellent doctor in my opinion.
Was referred here because of a low hormone level. Tests were not repeated, just a suggestion to try and supplement and see if it helps. No follow up scheduled. Was not friendly or open to talking about alternative methods.
-This doctor is very unprofessional and question how he is even in practice.-Does not appear to care for patients health or needs, caring only for his own interests.-Very impatient and moody, stubborn-Not a people personI am curious why he even is a doctor. He may be smart but does not practice his intelligence. My expectations of a doctor are to seek for the patients best interest. This doctor seeks only for his sole interest. Been diabetic for 20 years and could not subject my self to a poor quality doctor like this for more than a few appointments. He is only reinforcing poor reputation year by year. Notice how easy it is to get an appointment.
Very unprofessional and unwilling to view opinions from patients shoes. Went to him for roughly 3 years.Refused to offer insulin pump as alternative to injections. I switched doctors and have to now commute 1.5 hours away to get a doctor who knows what they are doing. I have been diabetic for 24 years now and have never seen a doctor with such little regard to their patients needs and wants. I switched doctors and on first site visit he set me up with the pump. Now my H1C is 6- 6.5 when it was 7.0 -8.0 when under Kamals unprofessional care. A doctor is supposed to care for the needs of their patients. If you are looking for this you are heading in the wrong place. I would suggest driving to Birmingham. Dr. Teague is my new endocrinologist and there is no comparison of the knowledge, care and professionalism he displays. MY HEALTH IS IN BETTER HANDS I HOPE THE SAME FOR EVERYONE. ATLEAST TRY ANOTHER DOCTOR AND DO YOUR OWN ASSESMENT.This is clearly my opinion but am sharing it so no one else has the experiences I went through.
He is very unprofessional. They lacked communicating my H1C result twice and I had to go through over an hour of waiting to receive the information instead of calling it over or mailing it... Been diabetic with type 1 juvenile onset for 22 years now and never seen a doctor seem to care so little about my needs. Unfortunately the only other doctor in the area is full and has remained full for 4 years.. Go to Birmingham

Its members have extensive experience with bioweapon issues and have an array of technical expertise that they contribute on a voluntary basis. The working group was established in 1989.
The Graham-Talent WMD Commission asserted again last week that a bioterrorism attack that "will fundamentally change the character of life for the world's democracies" is highly likely to occur within the next four years. The commission argues that the United States must urgently expand its efforts to develop vaccines and other medical countermeasures against potential bioterrorism agents.

Restaurant Revisited: Valley Viewby Sara Levine in Shows, March 14th, 2012
As of February 2012:
Three months later, new General Manager Kelly says the freshness of the new dining room has not waned for her.
Kelly now holds employee meetings to train staff on food safety and proper customer service. She and Kim also meet weekly with their newly hired chef, Matt, to go over any kitchen issues.
Chef Matt has become Kim's right-hand man. He's helping to bring in more fresh ideas, and today there are very few frozen items on the menu. Kelly is excited for Chef Matt's new menu to roll out — she can't wait to see customers' reactions.
Kelly and her staff are still working out some issues. The hot bar has been a challenge, so they've decided to only serve soup at the bar Tuesday through Thursday and full meals Friday and Saturday.
Ann has a hard time staying away. "I guess having a business for almost 30 years and having all the decisions to make is hard to walk away from." says Kelly.
"To see how Restaurant: Impossible made a tribute to my brother still puts tears in my eyes," Kelly says. "I know that he would love it. I know I do!" She wants to take the restaurant to new heights and thanks Robert Irvine for giving them a fresh start.
Update: Sadly, Ann decided she could no longer invest any more of her own money into the restaurant and on March 8, Valley View closed its doors for good.

Fowler To Return For Ducks Vs Sharks
Anaheim head coach Bruce Boudreau said that Cam Fowler ? the club?s top defenseman, out since Mar. 14 with a knee injury ? will return to action this week, per the OC Register.
Fowler, 22, has missed the last 12 games with an MCL sprain and is hoping to draw back into the Ducks lineup either on Wednesday (versus San Jose) or for one of the team?s final two games over the weekend ? Saturday in Los Angeles, or Sunday at home against Colorado.
Fowler was enjoying a fantastic season in Anaheim prior to getting hurt, leading all Ducks defensemen in a number of significant statistical categories: TOI per game (24:54), points (36), power-play points (15) and takeaways (24). He also sat third on the club in blocked shots (118) and was a key member of the defense for the U.S. team that participated in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

what is matcha?
Matcha is a special kind of green tea from Japan. The Japanese characters used for matcha are which mean "ground tea" if we take them literally. And we do.
the health benefits of matcha
Great wines are some of life's finest pleasures, but anything more than small quantities can have adverse effects on health (not to mention make you drunk or bankrupt you).
why not offer an organic matcha?
We actually do offer several organic matcha now, but I've decided to leave this entry up anyway, since it explains some issues related to growning organic matcha.
matcha and caffeine
It typically takes a good three to six hours for this minimal amount of caffeine to be absorbed into the bloodstream, and yet the wakefulness effects are apparent almost immediately upon drinking it.
the story of matcha
Matcha has been around a long time — since the late 12th century in Japan, a good 300 years before the printing press was invented, and centuries before Copernicus, Michelangelo.
how to store matcha
Matcha is very delicate stuff. It doesn't like heat, it doesn't like air, and it doesn't like light. Once it is ground, the clock on its shelf life — about a year, under ideal conditions — starts ticking.
liquid meditation
It's hard to imagine that a beverage, or anything else for that matter, would actually help anyone to meditate, but the entire history of matcha centers around staying awake during meditation.
how matcha is produced
Matcha comes from the same plant that all true teas come from: camellia sinensis, the leaves of which can be made into green tea (unfermented tea; it's simply steamed and dried), into oolong tea.
video of how to make matcha, breakaway style
Making matcha the traditional way is a classic case of form driving function. The bowl MUST be shaped the way it is so that the hand .
thick or thin matcha? why no in between?
The most cursory inquiry into the literature on matcha will bring up a reference to the basic two traditional Japanese styles of matcha preparation.
Packed full of tasty goodness
In his much-watched television chat show, hosted with Cameron Diaz, Dr. Oz said "the tea every women should drink: Matcha".Since then it has become, with good reason, one of the most popular diet crazes around. It has 137 times anti oxidant of green tea and 70 times anti oxidant of orange juice. It has also 9 times more beta-carotene of spinach. These anti oxidants helps in burning fat and make your skin look younger.
A 1999 study featured in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that matcha rich in catechins hasthermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation 35-43%, beyond that explained by the tea's caffeine content.

"I think J.P. has more to give at both ends of the floor," head coach Bruce Pearl said this week. "As far as his ballhandling and passing (18 assists, 6 turnovers) he's doing a good job as far as that's concerned. But he can do more for us in almost every other category - scoring, shooting, defending, rebounding.
"If you look at his numbers, you know he's not putting up the kind of numbers he had his first two years."
The coach isn't knocking his 6-8 senior, but merely stating the obvious. Physically, Prince isn't nearly the player in 2009-10 that he was in 2007-08 or 2008-09.
"I think you have to look to J.P.'s health," Pearl said. "He's had back-to-back offseason shoulder surgeries, and so physically how much has he been able to get done as far as his strength, his overall quickness and his core?"
Not enough, clearly. Given Prince's health issues, a redshirt season could've been useful this season ... except that wasn't an option. He already burned his redshirt season after transferring to UT from Arizona three years ago.
"He's a fifth-year guy, so he doesn't have a redshirt," Pearl noted. "He's tried to play through all of these injuries. Could he have been a sixth-year (medical redshirt)? It would've taken an injury that would've taken him out, and then there would've been a long appeal process."
Prince started this season's first five games at small forward before surrendering the first-team job to sophomore Cameron Tatum. There is still time for Prince to rally and make his final year on The Hill something special.
"This is his senior year that he's pointing towards," Pearl noted. "We're hoping that, as he gets further and further away from his last surgery, his strength, power, quickness and agility will all improve, so he can feel more physically comfortable and be more productive."
One obvious change in Prince's game this year is that he's no longer playing above the rim. After making dozens of dynamic dunks the previous two seasons, he is rarely jamming this year.
"He's getting to spots where he'd throw things down last year," Pearl said. "Now he's not dunking them. He's getting shots blocked he would not get blocked (last year). We certainly need J.P. to get back into form - at both ends of the floor - for us to have a championship season."

VC funding is needed to startup
Benish Shah, Vicaire
"VC funding sounds sexy and a lot of entrepreneurs think they can't launch without it. The reality is, you need to be really good at bootstrapping and growing a company before you should even think about accepting institutional funding. It will make you a better business person — and it will garner more trust from investors. "

Paddock Hills Equestrian Center
Imagine a golden ball of Midwestern sun breaking on the horizon. As the night dew still clings to the vines and the grass in the pastures, a farm comes to life with the sights and sounds of morning. Hot coffee steeps in the pot. Hard-working farm-hands begin the daily chores. Horses whinny as the cool rush of morning air fills their lungs. The gently rolling hills are aglow with another new day.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Cake Decorating
|3 or more Tiers
|Gum Paste, Fondant, Buttercream, Royal Icing
|Whimsical, Elegant
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: Last weekend?s dessert tablescape. 5 sugar flower wedding cakes total. 2 ruffle cakes. 2 mini cakes. Tons of Swiss dots and sugar flowers. We had the wall/ dessert bar backdrop custom built to match the venue architecture. It featured lots of candles and fresh hydrangeas on the upper shelf. The middle portion of the wall was left open as to not distract from the lovely couple during cake cutting and to not take away from the cakes or openness of the venue. The sleek linens on the cake table were custom made as well to give the overall environment a contemporary look with solid navy fabric keeping a playful bold floral pattern along the bottom edge. Pink fabric with bold pattern peeked out on the pleated folds. Milk glass serving pieces add a controlled vintage touch in keeping with the sleek romantic feel we were going for. The cake table was removed post cake cutting to allow for more dance room and the candlelit bar was left for guests to graze on throughout the night. The desserts included: tartlets with pastry cream and blueberries, mini tanglewood pies, blubarb pie, pecan squares, and metallic gold macarons with Raspberry preserves and Mocha Swiss meringue buttercream. Cake flavors include lemon cake soaked in lemon syrup with blackberry curd filling lemon curd Swiss meringue buttercream and fresh raspberries and blueberries . Other tiers include my signature white buttermilk cake with Swiss meringue buttercream. Kati Best Photography.
