PORTLAND - The westbound lanes of the Thruway in New York's southwest corner have reopened after being closed when a tractor-trailer hauling propane tanks crashed off the highway.
State police say the truck went off Interstate 90, overturned and rolled down an embankment around 11:10 p.m. Wednesday in the Chautauqua County town of Portland, 45 miles southwest of Buffalo.
Troopers say the driver, Richard Kingsley, 57 from Silver Creek, suffered head injuries and is in fair condition at a hospital in Erie, Pa.

Police say none of the propane tanks leaked.
Westbound traffic was diverted off the highway at Exit 59 at Dunkirk and onto Route 20. Motorists could re-enter the Thruway's westbound lanes at Exit 60 at Westfield.
The westbound lanes reopened around 2:20 a.m. Thursday.

Media mogul and mega millionaire Oprah Winfrey is helping her half-sister achieve her career goals by paying for her college education and buying her a new house.
The TV titan-turned-actress shocked fans of her talk show in 2011 by revealing that she had been reunited with her long-lost sister Patricia Lofton, who had been given up for adoption by their mother Vernita in 1963, when Winfrey was just nine years old.
Now it has emerged that Winfrey has been helping her younger sibling make ends meet by giving her a monthly allowance so she can quit her job and focus on her studies.
But that's not all - Winfrey also surprised Lofton with the keys for a $490,000 four-bedroom home in Wisconsin for her and her kids, according to the National Enquirer.
Her representative says, "Patricia's greatest dream was to go to college and become a social worker. Oprah wants to support that dream."

Reflections on the Revolution in France
Reflections on the Revolution in France is a 1790 book by Edmund Burke and one of the best-known intellectual attacks against the French Revolution. The tract has been used as a defining piece of modern conservatism as well as an important contribution to international theory. Above all else, it has been one of the defining efforts of Edmund Burke's transformation of "traditionalism into a self-conscious and fully conceived political philosophy of conservatism.".[1]
The pamphlet has not been easy to classify. Academics have had trouble identifying whether Burke, or his tract, can best be understood as "a realist or an idealist, Rationalist or a Revolutionist."[2] The current academic consensus is that the tract is a "classic text in political theory".[3] Thanks to thoroughness, rhetorical skill and literary power, it has become one of the most widely known of Burke's writings. For this reason many writers have attempted to recruit Burke for their own political viewpoints.
In the twentieth century, it greatly influenced conservative and classical liberal intellectuals, who recast Burke's Whig arguments as a critique of Communism and Socialist revolutionary programmes.
Edmund Burke served in the House of Commons of Great Britain, representing the Whig party, in close alliance with liberal politician Lord Rockingham. In Burke's political career, he vigorously defended constitutional limitation of the Crown's authority, denounced the religious persecution of Catholics in his native Ireland, voiced the grievances of Britain's American colonies, supported American Independence, and vigorously pursued impeachment of Warren Hastings, the Governor-General of British India, for corruption and abuse of power. For these actions, Burke was widely respected by liberals in Great Britain, the United States, and the European continent.
In 1789, soon after the fall of the Bastille, the French aristocrat Charles-Jean-François Depont asked his impressions of the Revolution; Burke replied with two letters. The longer, second letter became Reflections on the Revolution in France, published in 1790.
In the Reflections, Burke argued that the French Revolution would end disastrously because its abstract foundations, purportedly rational, ignored the complexities of human nature and society. Further, he focused on the practicality of solutions instead of the metaphysics, writing 'What is the use of discussing a man's abstract right to food or to medicine? The question is upon the method of procuring and administering them. In this deliberation I shall always advise to call in the aid of the farmer and the physician, rather than the professor."[4] Following St. Augustine and Cicero, he believed in "human heart"-based government. Nevertheless, he was contemptuous and afraid of the Enlightenment, led by intellectuals such as Rousseau, Voltaire, and Turgot, who disbelieved in divine moral order and original sin, saying that society should be handled like a living organism, that people and society are limitlessly complicated, thus, leading him to conflict with Thomas Hobbes's assertion that politics might be reducible to a deductive system akin to mathematics.
A dominant theme in Reflections is that the French were not upholding the rights accorded to all men, like the American revolutionaries that he supported or the English in the Glorious Revolution. C. B. Macpherson, goes as far as saying any contradiction can "be dismissed very quickly."[5] Others, such as Jeff Spinner, argue that opposition to the United States revolution was more pragmatic. Burke believed only war and the spread of uniquely American ideals, which were ill-suited for Europe, could result from opposition to the American self-determination.[6]
As a Protestant and Whig, he expressly repudiated the belief in divinely appointed monarchic authority and the idea that a people have no right to depose an oppressive government; however, he advocated central roles for private property, tradition, and 'prejudice' (adherence to values regardless of their rational basis) to give citizens a stake in their nation's social order. He argued for gradual, constitutional reform, not revolution (in every case except the most qualified case), emphasizing that a political doctrine founded upon abstractions such as liberty and the rights of man could be easily abused to justify tyranny. He saw inherited rights, restated in England from the Magna Carta to the Declaration of Right, as firm and concrete providing continuity (like tradition, 'prejudice,' inheritable private property,) by contrast enforcement of 'speculative' abstract rights might waver and be subject to change based on currents of politics. Instead, he called for the constitutional enactment of specific, concrete rights and liberties as protection against governmental oppression.
In the phrase, "[prejudice] renders a man's virtue his habit," he defends people's cherished, but untaught, irrational prejudices (the greater it behooved them, the more they cherished it). Because a person's moral estimation is limited, people are better off drawing from the "general bank and capital of nations and of ages" than from their own intellects.[7]
He predicted that the Revolution's concomitant disorder would make the army "mutinous and full of faction," and then a "popular general," commanding the soldiery's allegiance, would become "master of your assembly, the master of your whole republic."[8] Though he may have been thinking of Lafayette, Napoleon fulfilled this prophecy on the 18th Brumaire, two years after Burke's death.
Most of the House of Commons disagreed with Burke and his popularity declined. As the French Revolution broke into factions, the Whig Party broke in two: the New Whig party and the Old Whig party. As founder of the Old Whigs, Burke always took the opportunity to engage in debate with the New Whigs about French Jacobinism.
After trying to loosen the Protestant minority's control of Irish government, he was voted out of the House of Commons with a great pension. He later adopted French and Irish children, believing himself correct in rescuing them from government oppression. Before dying, he ordered his family to bury him secretly, believing his cadaver would be a political target for desecration should the Jacobins prevail in England.
To support or color his arguments, Burke uses a suite of Latin quotations, all the sources of which he does not cite. The bulk appear to come from Vergil or Horace. However, the following appears to be a Latin phrase of his own invention, employed to underline the ludicrous idea, in his view, of placing soldiery in a state at a perfectly equal status as the rest of the citizenry:
"Si isti mihi largiantur ut repueriscam, et in eorum cunis vagiam, valde recusem!"
An approximate translation is: "If they grant to me that I may become a boy again, and that I may wander about in their defecations [defecatory reasonings], of course I will refuse!"
Intellectual influence[edit]
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011) |
Reflections on the Revolution in France was read widely on publication, though not every Briton approved of Burke's kind treatment of their historic enemy or its royal family. His English enemies speculated he either had become mentally unbalanced or was a secret Catholic, outraged by the democratic French government's anti-clerical policies and expropriation of Church land. The publication of this work drew a swift response, first with A Vindication of the Rights of Man (1790) by Mary Wollstonecraft, and then with Rights of Man (1792) by Thomas Paine. Nonetheless, Burke's work became popular with reactionaries such as King George III and the Savoyard philosopher Joseph de Maistre.
Historically, Reflections on the Revolution in France became the founding philosophic opus of Conservatism when some of Burke's predictions occurred: the Reign of Terror succeeded the execution of King Louis XVI and his wife, to purge anti-revolutionary enemies of the people. That, in turn, led to the political reaction of Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte's government, which appeared to some to be a military dictatorship. Burke had predicted the rise of a military dictatorship and that the revolutionary government instead of protecting the rights of the people would be corrupt and violent.
In the nineteenth century, positivist French historian Hippolyte Taine repeated the Englishman's arguments in Origins of Contemporary France (1876–1885): that centralisation of power is the essential fault of the Revolutionary French government system; that it does not promote democratic control; and that the Revolution transferred power from the divinely chosen aristocracy to an "enlightened" heartless elite more incompetent and tyrannical than the aristocrats.
In the twentieth century, Western conservatives applied Burke's anti-revolutionary Reflections to popular socialist revolutions, thus establishing Burke's iconic political value to conservatives and classical liberals. For example, an important classical economic liberal, Friedrich Hayek, acknowledged an intellectual debt to Burke.

Mavic Crossride Disc 29in Wheelset - 2013 $325.00
Bigger is better.
No matter how much money you're willing to drop on Mavic 29er wheels, you can sleep at night knowing that you invested in the highest quality that your money could buy. The Mavic Crossride Disc 29in Wheelset is no exception to this rule. Refusing to make a throwaway 'entry-level' 29er wheelset, the Crossride Wheelset reflects Mavic's devotion to progression and precision in everything they make. Using a lightweight, responsive rim designed to remain strong and true after rocky beatings, the Crossride will satisfy both the 29er loyalist and the newly converted.
Mavic's Crossride Disc 29in Wheelset was developed with rider experience at the forefront of the design. In fact, the pros from teams Orbea, Cannondale, and Luna were integral in the research and development process. With their input, and a dash of French engineering prowess, Mavic was able to make the Crossride a rigid, but comfortable, entry-level wheelset that wants to accelerate and sprint out of the corners. The first step in the new design was incorporating Mavic's Self Lock system. This system uses a specially shaped spoke end that makes it virtually impossible for the spoke's thread to loosen from the nipple. This means that the Crossride's 24/24 straight-pull rims retain a constant, out-of-the-box shape with a tension and true that refuses to deviate. To combine durability and rigidity, Mavic next used the H2, hammer hardened, rims that are locally strengthened where the spokes experience the most stress. Combined, the Crossride wheelset is both strong enough and responsive enough for brutal, technical climbs and descents.
Mavic's technological innovations aren't limited to just the rim, they extend throughout every component of the wheelset. The hubs use Mavic's top-shelf QRM cartridge bearings that feature a protecting double seal, and a C3 internal clearance to nearly eliminate bearing play. For the freehub, Mavic used the FTS-X for its durability derived from strengthened pawls, self-locking axle end screws, and friction torque reducing seals.
This wheelset is part of Mavic's MP3 extended warranty program. The acronym stands for Mavic Product Protection Plan, and it provides you with two years of almost unlimited no-fault protection from Mavic. More details can be found on the MP3 website. Please note that MP3 coverage must be purchased within 5 days of the date that you receive your wheels. Contact one of our customer service representatives for the retailer and product codes that you'll need to register your wheels on the Mavic MP3 site. You'll also need the serial numbers that you'll find on your wheels. The cost for this coverage is approximately 8% of the retail cost of the wheels.
The Mavic Crossride Disc 29in Wheelset accepts only six bolt ISO standard disc rotors. This wheelset is is available in the color Black, and the freehub body accepts Shimano and SRAM 8-, 9-, and 10-speed cassettes. This wheelset has a 15mm thru-axle front hub and a 10x142 QR rear hub. The thru-axle, quick release skewer and adapters are sold separately.

hub type correction
Member since
For the set I just received, the front hub is a 15mm thru axle (no adapter for 9mm QR). Also, backcountry does not carry the necessary adapters.
The rear hub is a 12mm thru axle but does include adapters for quick release and the appropriate skewer.
So "out of the box" these wheels can be run with 15mm front axle only, rear can be 9mm QR or 12mm TA.

I have a 2014 Giant Trance X 29er 1. From Giant, it has:
Hubs: Giant Performance Tracker Off Road, sealed, [F] 15mm axle, [R] 135x5mm QR
Will these wheels (at the $179.40 price point) work?
Kyle Smyth
Member since
The option at that price point comes stock with a 9mm quick release front hub configuration and for your bike you would need a 15mm that would require the Mavic 15mm Front Hub Adapter (MAV0440).
I need to know what size you're getting...

I need to know what size you're getting for the 'one color, one size' option that is $179.40.

If you want to convert the rear to a 12x142 you need item MAV000A
Member since
Hi. what�s the difference between the one for $ 179.40 and the one at $ 324.95. I need 15 mm front and 142 rear, can I purchase the ones at $ 179.4 and use some adapters for the rear wheel?
Thank you
Mike Nelson
Member since
Hi Alejandro,
Here's a link for the 12 x142 rear adapter. NOt in stock at the moment, but give us a call to order and we can backorder a set for you.
Great Value
Member since
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought these wheels mainly for the price, I have Easton EA90XC on my 26" bike but didn't want to spend that kind of money on my first 29er. Damn!, these wheels seem lighter than the Eastons and they roll forever. Would have been a steal at the regular price. I highly recommend these for anyone doing light to medium trail riding, they'd probably handle more though. GREAT DEAL BackCountry... Thank you!
Ride On,
Great bargain
Rick Osborn
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This wheelset is a great value for the money. I've used it out a couple times now. Climbs quick. Light in the rims. Cushy all around.
Can I set this up with tubeless tires?

The Allis Mansion 1867

Submitted by jimboone on Sat, 01/05/2013 - 10:09Magnolia Lions Update
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 16:06For those who remember my original article wondering where the Magnolia Lions went...
I came across an article in the Springfield Republican, April 21, 1957. At this point in time, the Magnolia Lions were no longer in existence, and in fact, people were remembering them with nostalgia, so they likely hadn't been around for a while.
Historical Resource: MACRIS
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Fri, 02/04/2011 - 11:57Lately, I have tended to only write blog entries when I am wowed by something, and lately, nothing has wowed me. But today, I realized that the Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System (MACRIS) has digitized its historical inventory files and is making them available to the public.
What wowed me was a photo of the West Union Street school, taken in the 1970's. The building is no longer standing, and I had never seen a photo of it before.

I am doing some research on this venerable piece of land and am trying to figure out when the names were changed. This is what I know.
Springfield's original North Church
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 23:59Every now and then I come across photographs which are marked as being from Springfield, but upon further research, they are not. They are either from another state's Springfield, or sometimes are from another town in the region.
I thought that would be the case when I came across this stereoview, marked "North Church", published by Milton Bradley & Co, Springfield. I didn't recognize the church, and to me, "North Church" was the church that sits on the corner of Salem & Elliot Streets. Still, the identification wasn't written in pencil -- it was printed on a label affixed to the card, so I went ahead and bought it, puzzled as to its location.
The short list of 19th century schools left in Springfield
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Sat, 08/07/2010 - 10:33Someone asked me when schools were built in Springfield, so I decided to consult some prior research that I had compiled. When I looked at the list of Springfield Schools that stood in 1900, I was surprised at just how few of them are still standing. Of the approximately 40 Springfield Public Schools that existed in 1900, just 10 11 remain standing -- 75% of them have been demolished.
Update: Springfield Historical Commissioner Bob McCarroll has told me that I missed a school -- Alden St. School, which was converted into a church. I was confused because the school was built in 1890, but the city had the building present on the site listed as being built in 1910.
Only one school stands from Springfield's first school building boom in the 1860's, only 2 schools from the city's second school building boom in the 1880's stand, only one single-room ungraded school still stands, and only two schools from the 1890's stand largely unmodified.
Here are the ten eleven schools, ordered by year of construction.
Indian Orchard Grammar
Built in 1868, this is Springfield's oldest standing school, although it has been significantly modified to the point where it is unrecognizable from its original design. It was renamed Myrtle Street School and the original school had another building built in front of it. Then a second building was built in the front, a twin of the first. The school was later converted into housing, I'm not sure when.
Republican archives now online

Unknown school photo, circa 1900
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Fri, 04/10/2009 - 09:28I'm posting this photo in the hopes that someone can identify it. It is a school photo, probably from around 1900, most likely from Springfield. What is unusual about this photo is that most of the students are identified on the back -- so maybe you will find your ancestor there. If you do, I can send you a large electronic copy which you can have printed out at a photo printer like CVS or Walgreens.
City Library and Elijah Blake House, 1887
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Wed, 02/18/2009 - 00:42I picked up a neat glass negative of the Springfield City Library. This negative apparently belonged to a former photographer from the Springfield Union, it was taken in 1887, just a few years after the library was built (in 1871). Most other photos I have seen of the library have been closer to end of its life in 1912.

A woman's hair is usually her most prized possession. Clothing, purses, shoes and jewelry are all nice and dandy, but woman are "stuck" with the hair they have, so to speak. This is why we women spend so much time and money on it — if our hair is all out of sorts, the whole outfit is ruined. I've always tried to experiment with my hair but not to the extreme. The first time I cut 11 inches off my head, I was 12 years old and could not take the wavy, straggliness of it. Once in high school, the experimentation began. I got some blonde highlights, going more and more blonde as years went on. I also decided to grow it out again. By the time I was 18 and graduating high school, it was very long and almost blonde — my mistake in telling a different hairdresser than my own to add a few more (I never trust anyone except my own hairdresser). With a new life awaiting me at Penn State and my boyfriend breaking up with me, I chopped another 11 inches off and dyed it chocolate brown. I was ready to be a sophisticated woman. Jump to four years later — my hair is now longer than before and pretty much back to its original color: light brown. I have taken very good care of my hair, and I receive compliments from friends, strangers and hairdressers who love to play with my hair. Despite the massive damage I did in high school between semiformals, proms and the fact I was a cheerleader, my hair is as gorgeous as ever (not to toot my own horn). I used to put curlers in it almost every night for a game or competition, and not just sponge curlers. I have used hot curlers and even small perm curlers to get the desired effect. I also used a massive amount of straightening gel to make sure it was never wavy (this was before the straightener became popular.) I will say I have had a lackadaisical attitude about my hairdo after high school graduation, but I probably still do damage to it every once in awhile. My routine is usually to wash every other day, sometimes every third if I didn't break a sweat and my hair doesn't look like a greaseball. I use a clarifying shampoo once a week or so, and it doesn't have to be the expensive kind. If I can, I don't even use a conditioner on that day. I try to air-dry my hair as much as possible, but with winter it is hard. I don't blow dry right after towel-drying, unless necessary, letting my hair dry 50 percent of the way on its own. Once in a blue moon, I deep condition, even though the longer my hair is getting, the more moisturizer for it I need. I do use some product, such as a controlling mousse and a straightening creme, but not always, as to give my hair a chance to breath. I also sometimes pull it up with clips instead of hair ties, which can break the hair. Also, the longer my hair gets, the more knots seem to produce, so I brush it at least twice a day, especially before bed. That is what bothers me the most about long hair — the knots. There has only been one time where I had a single split-end, and I almost freaked. Split-ends are not your friend. This can be solved with regular trims. You can go a longer time between with short hair, but the longer your hair, the more frequently you should go, about every four to six weeks. This is because your hair looks a mess and straggly. Even if it isn't your expensive hairdresser, stop by a quick $12 cut place and get an inch off (but trust me, they don't know how to treat your hair the way your hairdresser does.) As for me, I think it's time for another leap of faith. I plan to cut my hair above my shoulders. I have begun my research for the perfect do, and hopefully in the next few months, I will upload a photo of my experience. Never be afraid to experiment, because hair does grow back. But take care of your hair, since it's your most important fashion piece. — Bethany Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article.

Helly Hansen Women's 3/4 Pant - Meh.
March 30, 2011
I love Helly Hansen. But not in love with these 3/4 pants. I am 5'7" and 150 pounds (athletic build) and I wear a size M in almost every pair of long underwear, work out pants, leggings etc. The fit on these 3/4 pants was a little bit loose in the hip and waist area. I guess I was expecting a more flattering fit. However, the 3/4 length IS perfect for skiing/boarding. I usually have to pull my long underwear up above my calves and stretch them out. So that is a huge bonus. Also, the HH DRY weight is perfect for under your ski pants in spring ski conditions when a heavy weight pair of long underwear is too hot. You can also wear these pants on their own. Even thought the fit isn't perfect, I kept these pants for the reasons above. The classic HH stripes are totally awesome too!
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Cons: fitComftorable and Warm
January 24, 2011
The 3/4 legth pants are perfect for skiing so the pant does not scrunch up in your boots and after a long day of skiing they are comftorable and cute enough to just lounge around the house. Not to mention they keep you warm on the slopes.

A new poll shows Florida voters - by better than a 9-to-1 margin - say they would like to see the state require background checks on those who want to buy guns.
A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday shows 91 percent favor requiring universal gun background checks compared to 8 percent who said they're opposed.
Fifty-one percent said they favored stricter statewide gun-control laws compared to 44 percent who were opposed. Self-described gun owners, however, were against tougher regulations, with 61 percent opposed to 33 percent in favor of such measures.
Quinnipiac asked 1,000 registered voters about their opinions on gun control laws in a random telephone survey taken March 13-18. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.
Poll: 9 of 10 Fla. Voters Favor Background Checks
For anyone buying a gun

text: I am writing an article about the entire state of network shows to post on Monday, but since it is not yet finished, I thought many of you would be interested to know that there will only be 13 episodes of Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue this season and while the network is not saying it, the shows are "essentially" cancelled. This one surprises me, as I felt like there was still a lot of good will for the show, but just not the ratings. ABC is not closing the door on the shows and say they will be in consideration for pick-up for another season next year. I suspect the only way that happens is if they have a terrible development season.

Mexico was paid for the land taken after the war. And "Mexican" isn't a race, its a nationality.Ha Ha Ha ! That show how stupid you are mister!! Mexican is a race and as a peoples you have discrimintaed us and we must be repaid. As our brother the Indian has been given land and the casino we must be treated as such. The Mexican race demand to be compensated for the loss suffer at the hands of the illegal takers. Now you see that you are the "illegal" on MY land!
So just to make it easier, let me hone in on your central demands. Land and casinos? Is that what you are after?

In the season finale, Tyler and Dina come to blows again-- but this time, because of Morgan. When Tyler asks to shoot pictures of Morgan to include in his upcoming gallery opening, Dina gives the okay on one condition. But when Francesca ignores her request and allows the photo shoot to move in a different direction, Dina drops a bombshell on Tyler. Meanwhile, Overtone goes car shopping for a vehicle that can fit the whole group--but they also have big news to share with Dina! Also Available On Amazon Instant Video

Plus, Francesca witnesses a surprisingly romantic gesture that gets her thinking about marriage with Tyler. But is she jumping the gun a bit too soon--and does he even feel the same way? Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
As Francesca and Tyler's relationship matures and heads closer to the prospect of marriage, Francesca feels an intense urge to help mend Tyler's rocky relationship with his parents before she becomes a part of the family. She's able to convince him to visit his mom and dad in Florida, despite his reservations-- but soon finds out why he was so hesitant in the first place. Meanwhile, Dina arranges a meeting for Overtone with a music exec who may be interested in managing the band. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video

So when Dina's babying gets super out of control, the family has a major crisis on their hands when a fed-up and hormonal Morgan starts to act out. Meanwhile, Dina converts Francesca's bedroom into an art studio, and even though she ok'd it she can't help feeling like the kicked out, forgotten stepdaughter. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
The fighting continues between Dina and Francesca's boyfriend Tyler following Maddie's unfortunate bloody nose incident. But it's Francesca who gets caught in the crossfire and helplessly waits for their argument to die down. Thankfully, Dina's brother steps in to help mediate and weed out all of the lies Tyler's been feeding the family. Meanwhile, Eduard falls into a deep depression and retreats from his band mates. When they eventually find him alone in his hotel room, they also discover blood everywhere. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
The Eastwoods' family vacation in Maui continues as Francesca and her boyfriend Tyler try to work out a sleeping arrangement that doesn't offend overprotective mom Dina. Then, things get ugly when Tyler tries to force his so-called medical expertise during an emergency, forcing Francesca to take sides. Will she choose her man over her family? Meanwhile, Overtone band member Eduard confronts the rest of the band for interfering in his relationship with Riaan--and their argument just might end up being a deal breaker for him and the group. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
When Overtone books a gig in Hawaii, Dina plans a family vacation around the concert--and invites all of Morgan's friends to stay at the Eastwood's vacation home in Maui. But, she didn't count on Francesca bringing along her unpredictable photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields. When the lovebirds land on the island, it doesn't take long for Dina to pull Francesca aside for a little chat. Meanwhile, the band mates get feisty when they discover there's only three suites to split amongst the group--and not all of the rooms have breathtaking views. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
When the house gets jam-packed with unopened gifts and old clutter, Francesca and Morgan try to convince Dina that she has a hoarding problem. Meanwhile, Dina and Francesca clash over money when she flaunts an expensive handbag that Tyler later plans to destroy for a photo shoot. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
Francesca, who acts as muse for her photographer boyfriend Tyler Shield's crazy and sometimes dangerous photo shoots, flies with him to London for one of his gallery showings. But things take a turn for the worse when Tyler, who will do anything to get the best shot, puts Francesca in a position that has her fearing for her life. Meanwhile in California, Dina simultaneously juggles an Overtone member's wedding festivities along with Morgan's 15th birthday party at the same hotel. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video
In the series premiere, meet Dina Eastwood, wife to actor Clint Eastwood, and their huge, extended and surprisingly down-to-earth family. Free-spirited, but overprotective Dina is taken aback when her 15-year-old daughter Morgan pleads with her for a belly button piercing--and she undergoes extremely painful measures to convince Morgan otherwise! Multi-tasking Dina also acts as momager to a six-man vocal group from South Africa called Overtone, whom she mothers like her own family. But Dina's opinionated 19-year-old stepdaughter Francesca has a bone to pick with one of the group members, and her feelings cause her to do something she deeply regrets.

Boericke & Tafel Children's Cough and Bronchial Syrup -- 8 fl oz
Works like a charm!
My 8yr old has suffered from bronchitis over the years and I came across this product and I'm glad I did! As soon as my little one starts coughing, I give her this for a couple of days and just like that, the cough is gone! I love-love-love this syrup and so does my baby!
April 15, 2013
There are very few times when this product has not had the desired effect. When my children have an especially stubborn cough, I give then the recommended dose several times (up to 4) before bed in the allowed increments. That way, by the time they go to bed I know if it is working. I do sometimes have to get up in the night to give them another dose, but it usually works to stop the cough, and my child returns to slumber. I appreciate that it does not have any harmful ingredients, and my children like the taste.
August 20, 2012
It really works!
August 15, 2012
excellent product
very good product pricing is way down low and this product really works,no bluffing, i would recomend this product to the world
August 6, 2012
This seems to really work
It's so hard to find a cough medicine for kids that actually works! This seems to really soothe my kid's cough so they can sleep. I keep this on hand.

I love this wallet! It's quality leather and has enough compartments for all that I need to carry with me on a daily basis!
it's ok
By Sue
from Baroda, MI
I was a bit disappointed in the leather quality of this wallet. It was "hard" -- not soft and supple. I'm keeping it because I love the snap coin closure inside -- difficult to find in a wallet, but I'm not thrilled with the "feel" of it.
Awesome Wallet
By ksnana
from Kansas
About Me Comfort-Oriented, Practical
I own a ton of wallets in any color you can think of and this one just became one of my favorites. There is alot of compartments for money, coupons, etc. and a good number of credit card slots. I like that there is a zippered coin compartment on the back side of the wallet and there is also two others on the inside. The only fault I could find with this wallet as I have with many others, is it needs more material to allow for all the items it holds. There are two snaps and I have it on the one that allows for the most expansion and it barely snaps. You have know that I carry the everything but the kitchen sink in both my wallet and purse! I do not think that the avearge woman would have trouble closing it depending on what they carry in it. Overall this is a terrific wallet and one that I would choose again. I was not disappointed at all with this product. High craftmanship adds to the appeal and over all look.

Comments about DiMarzio Strat Pickup Selector Switch Knob:
Worked fine on a Silvertone Strat.
Comments about DiMarzio Strat Pickup Selector Switch Knob:
This DiMarzio switch cap (knob or whatever you want to call it) fit my American Strat 5 position switch perfectly with no issues at all. In fact in could not have fit better. When I pushed it on the shaft it went down with the perfect snugness I wanted. I can only gusee that the the reviewer who gave this item a single star must have recieved something other than what I recieved or his switch is some after market imitation because as I indicated, this fits standard Fender to perfection. It's also made in the USA which for me is a real plus. This is a 5 star item IMO. Highly recommended.
This cap is double cut to fit both American and import Strats.
High quality and American made!
A great value for an essential little piece.
Comments about DiMarzio Strat Pickup Selector Switch Knob:
I would not buy this item again. It has those little sharp things sticking out of it from the mold it was poured in that noone picked off before they packaged it and to top it all off it doesn't even fit the switch. The hole in the bottom is way too big, not at all like the pic advertised. I understand it's only a little money, but it's the principal of it... especially from a good name like dimarzio. Disappointing...

Built for SaaS - Dimension Data SaaS Cloud
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers face an incredible market opportunity as the proliferation of smart computing devices and the trend towards collaboration continue to climb. Yet, they can't afford customer attrition due to a poor user experience. Seconds of downtime can mean lost revenue or customers fleeing to the competiton.
Customer acquisition and retention, scaling for rapid growth, delivering the best customer experience, competitive pressures, and regulatory compliance are just a few of the considerations that SaaS providers must negotiate every day. Rather than taking on capex and hiring or training people to help deliver a SaaS-delivery model, SaaS providers are looking to complement their software development and innovation efforts with a SaaS delivery partner − one that can deliver unmatched operational expertise with the highest level of SLA-backed availability and performance.
Why Dimension Data for SaaS?
Hundreds of SaaS providers with millions of end users trust Dimension Data's 'built-for-SaaS' cloud. Dimension Data's cloud allows our SaaS clients to scale operations, enter new markets, accelerate global deployments, and – most importantly – to focus on innovation.
We understand that the cost of SaaS delivery isn't limited to infrastructure alone. Clients often assume that SaaS delivery costs are limited to platform costs. Yet, in order to deliver the best possible customer experience, our SaaS clients need to focus on innovation and delivering an incredible customer experience. That's why Dimension Data is unmatched in addressing all SaaS costs. Through Dimension Data Application and Technical Operations, our clients get the benefit of our seasoned cloud experts who help to reduce infrastructure and operational costs.
- Dimension Data Application Operations is a suite of value-add services that address application composite, people, process and compliance issues. Application Operations provides SaaS application management services to scale complex SaaS- and Web-based applications. Our services are built on best practices, developed from having worked with hundreds of clients across many different industries to scale operations and enter new markets.
- Dimension Data Technical Operations is a suite of services for managing and monitoring IT systems infrastructure. Technical Operations provides system monitoring, operating system support (including ongoing patching), and 28-day backups of all production servers, allowing SaaS clients to minimise operational risk, while saving time and money.
The Tolly Group recently compared Dimension Data's cloud performance against that of other cloud providers. Dimension Data consistently outperformed other cloud providers, delivering true, enterprise-class performance. This is attributed to Dimension Data's multi-tiered, mission-critical enterprise SaaS applications − with defence-in-depth security, and the ability to scale up and scale out.

Sort By :
Love it. Made it twice in one week. Easy and tasty!
We love this recipe! It was flavorful and surprisingly filling for a meatless entree! Bonus: it comes together fast!
I made this for my daughter and myself, so I cut it in half. Did not have oregano, so I added 1/2t. dried basil, and one frozen cube of fresh basil, which I saute'd along with tomatoes, garlic, dried basil and salt. I use Crazy Jane's Mixed up salt. Left out the green onions. One clove of garlic, was plenty. Used frozen Edamame, in the pods, so I had to cook them first and then add to the already cooked pasta. I may try adding cooked chicken breast or crumbled sweet Italian sausage next time I make this.
We had this for dinner last night and my husband and I agree it's a keeper. We enjoyed the blend of flavors accented by the salty bite of feta. This one is going in our file of regulars worth repeating.
