Mediational Role of Interest and Intrinsic Motivation between Perceived Caring Climate and Satisfaction and Attitudes Among Physical Education Students
Sungho Kwon, Seoul National University, South Korea
Mary Fry, University of Kansas, USA
Theme: Motivation and self-perceptions
Poster Number: 59
Program ID: POS-1
Presentation: October 3, 2013 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Room: Napoleon
The purpose of this study was to examine the mediational role of students' interest and intrinsic motivation in physical education (PE) between their perceptions of a caring climate in their PE class to their satisfaction with and attitudes in the class. Student (N= 724, 321middle school students, 403 high school students) volunteered to complete a survey which included measures of the following: caring climate, interest in PE (4 subscales: achievement, social, healthy, autonomy), satisfaction with PE class (4 subscales: administration, instruction, class environment, and healthy life) attitudes about PE (9 subscales, e.g., subject interest, attention, willingness, achievement motivation), and intrinsic motivation in PE. Structural equation modeling and multiple group analysis were utilized and revealed that perceptions of the caring climate predicted interest in PE, which in turn influenced intrinsic motivation; intrinsic motivation also mediated the relationship to interest, satisfaction, and attitudes in PE (?²= 1366.007 df= 202, CFI=.901, TLI=.887, RMSEA=.089, RMR=.046). Results of the multiple group analysis indicated no gender difference in terms of path coefficients in the proposed model, except one path which from perceived caring climate to interest in PE factors. This result indicated that male students' path coefficient from perceived caring climate to interest in PE scales was stronger than female students' path coefficient. Results suggest that a caring climate in PE classes is associated with students experiencing higher intrinsic motivation and interest in the subject, and then demonstrating greater satisfaction and more positive attitudes. Future research should consider how these motivational processes have potential to help students' develop habits of being physically active that they carry with them through adolescence and young-adulthood.

August 2014
Grape harvest is beginning to roll, according to UNL Viticulture Technologist Steve Gamet. In Eastern Nebraska, Edelweiss harvest is starting this weekend, August 16 and will likely finish within a week, followed by central and then western Nebraska closing out the month of August.
July 2014
Field Days
The Field Days noted below were brought to you by the University of Nebraska Viticulture Program in cooperation with the Northern Grapes Project and the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association.
A Field Day was held July 10 at Nissen Wines near Hartington, Neb. Nebraska Grape Pioneer Ed Swanson (Cuthills Vineyards, Nebraska's First Winery) held a grafting discussion. The Nissens have added a large number of Marquette grafted onto Brianna vines with Swanson's able assistance. Participants got a close look at the Nissens' mobile bottling line as they custom bottle for a number of wineries. Timely vineyard topics including canopy management, vine balance and crop estimation were also presented.
A Field Day was held July 17 at Miletta Vista Winery near St. Paul, Neb. A special feature was the newly renovated winery building, that like the proverbial Phoenix after the fire, "rose from the ashes!" Topics included vine nutrition, canopy management, crop estimation and a discussion of challenges caused by the this year's environmental conditions and other stresses.
A Field Day was held July 23 at Mac's Creek Winery and Vineyards near Lexington, Neb. Participants were able to see newly planted vines following losses to herbicide drift. There were discussions about special technologies applied to delay bud break; use of ozone in the vineyard and other pest management strategies; canopy management; weed control; and crop estimation.

Dr. Horst Caspari, Colorado State University State Viticulturist and Dr. Stephen Menke, CSU State Enologist will be the featured speakers at the Fall Viticulture Workshop Nov. 9 to be held from 9 a.m.–3:30 p.m. in Lincoln, Nebr.
Dr. Caspari's "no-nonsense" straightforward style has been well received when he has been on previous UNVP programs and this workshop promises to be no exception. His topics will be wide-ranging, but centered around critical issues in vineyard management that facilitate top-notch results in the bottle. Nebraska grape growers and those from nearby states will benefit greatly from his presentations and from the opportunity to dialogue with Horst.
Steve Menke has been providing leadership for the wine quality assurance program that focuses on improving the capabilities of Nebraska and Midwest winemaking professionals with the stated goals of crafting wines of excellence and further enhancing the reputation of an industry already being recognized for producing outstanding, award-winning wines. Steve will address the progress of the wine quality assurance project by sharing the positive characteristics that he has noted from evaluations conducted in the past two years in Nebraska and Colorado. He will also address winemaking challenges that have been encountered, including specific flaws perceived and approaches to preventing negative wine quality characteristics.
Updates on the progress of the NE-1020 and Northern Grapes Projects will be shared with attendees by UNL Viticulturist Paul Read and Vineyard Technologist Steve Gamet, along with additional insights from both Dr. Caspari and Dr. Menke. The day's program will conclude with a Question and Answer session involving all participants. This will be an opportunity to bounce questions off of a knowledgeable group of grape and wine professionals, a chance to get answers and advice related to those "burning questions" that you may have and will help you prepare for another great vintage next year.
Pre-registration by noon, Nov. 8 is strongly encouraged.

The 2013 Harvest Field Day at Kimmel Orchard in Nebraska City was a great success. The 30 attendees enjoyed great weather, lunch and conversation. Dr. Read did informative presentations on "Crop Estimation and Adjustment", "How To Use A Refractometer to Measure° Brix", and "Canopy Management." There was also a lot of discussion on Herbicide Drift, how to recognize it and what to if you observe it in your vineyard. The success of the workshop has to be the participation in discussions with all the attendees, their great questions and input made it one of our best Field Days.

The 16th Annual Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Forum and Trade Show was held at the Kearney Holiday Inn from Feb. 28-March 2, 2013. A great lineup of speakers focused on improving our already outstanding grape and wine industry. The theme of this year's conference was "Growing an Industry."
When looking over evaluations of previous presentations from the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Forum and Trade Show, a common thread was "let's hear more from local growers, experts, winemakers," so that's why the 16th Forum's theme was "Growing an Industry."
The lineup of speakers for the overall program included successful Nebraska grape growers, winemakers, grape enthusiasts and experts from Nebraska and neighboring states. See the agenda.
Organizers also featured a competition for Nebraska's best wines to match each course of the banquet.
NWGGA's new executive director, Jennifer Montgomery, provided insights on the state of the industry, as well as coordinating what promises to be a great Trade Show.

Comments on Frost and Vineyard Management when Cold Temperatures are Expected
I am posting comments that Mark Hart and Peter Hemstad made to the Minnesota Grape Growers listserv. I feel that they are right on target, so rather than paraphrase their comments, I am putting them on our web site as they have sent them (with their permission). Peter asked that I include a caveat that his comments are not aimed at the bud break delay work that Seth McFarland and our grad students (Issam Qrunfleh and Ben Loseke) have been doing, which he considers good work.
I suggest reading Mark's and Peter's comments and take them to heart. Happy Frost Dodging and best wishes for a bountiful crop!

Mark Hart's letter:
I had a couple inquiries in private about frost protection that I think stemmed from things I and others have said in the group.
The first item would be frost protection using cryoprotectants, or products you spray on a vine prior to a frost event that are supposed give the vine extra protection during a freeze event.
The short answer is that there is little evidence from scientific trials that these work.
The way a scientific trial works is that the products of interest are compared side by side during a real freeze event and compared to control vines in the same location that have had no treatment. As you might imagine, these studies are a little hard to do, the research has to be set up and waiting for a somewhat rare event to occur. Since each freeze event is different in its nuances (duration, rate of cooling, humidity, etc.); the results seen in one set of circumstances might not be the same in a different freeze event. The field studies that have been done mostly show little positive benefit from these products. There are very few recommendations to use these products from the research/extension community.
How can this be? If you go to any vendor/mfg website they are full of charts and graphs and testimonials about the positive benefits of their product(s). Because real world freeze events are rare, most vendors test their product on potted plants in freeze chambers. Those conditions do not mimic what is seen in the real world, and products that have performed well in these controlled conditions have rarely had similar performance in the field. Humidity in control chambers (and California) is generally much lower than what we see in the Midwest during freeze events. Every time I track down the details behind the testimonials, very few of the growers left a control area in their planting that was untreated, so the comparison the grower uses to evaluate the performance is to prior freeze events or to other growers in the general area. Again the variability between events and locations makes evaluating success on these bases pretty tenuous. If you Google search these products you will often find many examples of growers reporting failures - those don't show up in the marketing material.
If a grower applies one of these products, I strongly encourage them to leave a few representative vines (same variety, same frost exposure) untreated so that they can compare apples to apples when evaluating effectiveness.
There is some science that shows that plant tissue has different freeze tolerance based on its condition, and that those conditions might be able to be changed by adding something from the outside - so there is science that fosters hope for effective products, but field trials suggest that does not translate well to growing situations.
Another aspect is spraying vines with cryoprotectants prior to bud break. This really is moving further from reality. IF these products worked, the basis is usually that the spray gets absorbed into or onto the green tissue to protect it in some way. Prior to bud break, there is not direct access to the green tissue, a product would have to be absorbed in some way to even have a chance of success. Dead bark and bud scales are very effective at NOT allowing that kind of absorption. That is why they are effective at protecting the plant tissue. We spray systemic herbicides (like Roundup) on our vines at this time of year. If those herbicides were absorbed through the bark, the vines would die. Those sprays use all types of surfactants which would enhance absorption, but the vines survive. Any cryoprotectant you spray on a vine before there is green growth is going to have the same degree of absorption.
Use your money wisely.
The other issue I want to discuss is site selection. If you go to an area like Europe where they have grown grapes for 100's of years, you will notice that vineyards are primarily in places that minimize the frost potential. Success and failure (selection) have worked over time to produce that pattern. In the North American Midwest our industry is young, and I don't think the site selection lesson has sunk in in our industry yet.
As I look at the temperature reports come in I see some vineyards report temperatures that are 5-8 degrees above or below the temps recorded at the nearby airport station. Airport stations are usually flat locations that are neither in deep valleys or ridgetops and have an average temperature for the surrounding area, so that suggests that within a fairly small geographic region there is about 5-10 degree variance in the overnight lows that are encountered. Growers need to exploit these mesoclimate variances and locate vineyards where the frost risk is low. Site selection is the number one tool in frost avoidance.
Once you have a vineyard in place, planted at a cost of $10-15K/acre, it is very difficult to decide to move, so site selection really needs to be impressed on potential growers at the start of the process.
Hope everyone gets through the cold.

Peter Hemstad's letter:
I would just like to encourage everyone to take Mark's comments to heart because I think he is absolutely correct with his analysis of the situation. Cryoprotectants are unproven and are unlikely to work. Growers who swear by them have very seldom left any untreated vines as a control. Without a control you have no idea if your buds survived because you sprayed them with a particular product or if they would have survived anyway.
Mark's comments about site selection are also right on the mark. Site selection is by far the biggest factor in whether you are going to have frost issues year in and year out. If you are planting a few vines as a hobby then plant them wherever you want. But if you are planting a commercial vineyard then you really need to optimize your site selection. Basically that means plant them on high ground or don't even plant them. It's as simple as that. Here at the HRC we are on high ground and we have had very little frost damage over the past 25 years. I can thank whoever picked this site back in 1908 for that! The only frost damage we ever really run into is on the very lowest parts of our vineyards, areas I was reluctant to plant into to begin with because of their potential for frost problems. This past week we had a low temp of about 24 degrees on both Monday and Tuesday nights and fortunately almost all our buds seem to have survived. If you have a good site you can rest a lot easier when these frost episodes arise.

Early Bud Break and Possible Cold Weather Damage
The mild winter and unseasonably warm weather may bode ill for the Nebraska grape and wine industry. Early bud break can produce shoots from primary buds that are extremely vulnerable to damage if a cold temperature (frost or freeze) event occurs. Of course we all know that we can't alter Mother Nature/weather characteristics, but I thought repeating some information that has been presented at various workshops, conferences and elsewhere might be helpful.
The potentially serious problem noted is not just worrisome to Nebraska growers, but the possible problem of early bud break followed by a cold weather event is of great concern in most of the East and Midwest, since similar weather patterns are being experienced throughout the region.
Some of our growers are familiar with the work of Dr. Imed Dami (now at Ohio State University) and his colleagues where they have used sprays of a vegetable oil product (Amigo Oil) to delay bud break. In their work, 'Concord' was the most responsive, while the response of other cultivars to Amigo Oil applications varied greatly depending upon cultivar. Research work done at UNL by recent PhD student, Issam Qrunfleh has demonstrated bud break delay in 'Edelweiss' of from 5 to 7 days resulting from sprays of 10% Amigo Oil or 1,000ppm NAA (naphthaleneacetic acid). Likewise, Seth McFarland at Mac's Creek Vineyards has achieved good bud break delay by use of sprays of Amigo Oil on the Mac's Creek Vineyard grapevines.
A synopsis of Dr. Dami's work and that of others, along with some additional observations has been sent to New York growers by Hans Walter-Peterson, Cornell University viticulture extension specialist, in which he addresses these concerns. I am attaching his write-up in hopes that it will be of interest to Nebraska growers and others accessing the University of Nebraska Viticulture web site. Additionally, the proceedings of a conference held in Missouri following the disastrous Easter Freeze of 2007 can be accessed here.
Perhaps we will be lucky and not experience extremes of damaging cold following an early bud break, but I'm not holding my breath. If such problems occur, some of the information noted in the Missouri proceedings will be helpful. Please feel free to call or send emails to further discuss this potential problem facing our grape and wine industry. Good luck!

Machine Harvest Field Day Impresses Growers
Attendees at the Machine Harvest Field Day at Ida's Vitas Vineyards on September 19th were heard to say "you need to see this machine in action to really appreciate how effective it is, how it actually works!" The South Platte Grape Growers demonstrated the Korvan 3216 grape harvester to an appreciative audience that learned about the advantages (and challenges) of machine harvesting, including labor saving and timeliness of harvest.

The Machine harvesting Field Day originally scheduled for Saturday, August 27 at Ida's Vitas vineyard near Ogalala has been re-scheduled for Monday, September 19 at the same location. The re-scheduling was necessitated by serious weather-related events and a delayed harvest maturity of the grapes to be harvested.
Registration will begin at 9:30 a. m. followed by demonstration of the machine harvester in the vineyard at approximately 10:15 a. m. Discussion of the pros and cons of the use of a machine harvester will take place over lunch and in early afternoon. Cost of the Field Day is $15 (includes lunch). Directions to the vineyard will soon be posted on this site.
This is an excellent opportunity to observe a grape harvester in action and to evaluate its potential for use in Nebraska vineyards.

Vandals destroy willow sculpture at Ladybirds Nursery in Huntington
9:09am Tuesday 29th January 2013 in News By Richard Catton, firstname.lastname@example.com
HEARTBROKEN children at a York nursery have seen part of their new garden and nature area destroyed by vandals.
A willow arch, which was created with money from a council grant, at Ladybirds Nursery in Huntington, was destroyed after the vandals cut it along its full length.
Nursery manager Nina Simpson said it was unlikely the arch would be replaced because money from the grant had now run out.
She said the damage was noticed after the staff and children came back from their Christmas break.
"Somebody has cut all the top off so it's not an arch any more," she said.
"We lease some land from Joseph Rowntree School which we have developed into a woodland for the children to enjoy.
"It took a lot of creating and was really expensive to do. There's no way we would be able to afford to do this again."
"We got funding from the Government but that's been drastically reduced now."
She said: "The children are saying 'we don't have a tunnel now – the naughty girls and boys have broken it'."
The area is also used by local Cub and Rainbow groups and there is access for the public through the nearby church grounds, which Miss Simpson said meant people would congregate there on an evening.
"There are often crisp packets and empty drink cans," she said.
"It's obvious other people are using the area, which we don't mind as long as they respect it.
"It's a shame that an area created to improve the children's outdoor experience has been damaged in such a way."

To the scum that did this - I hope you are really, really proud of your efforts - nothing like destroying a children's area at a nursery for making yourselves feel like real men and women. Big pat on the back for that one - upsetting children is a really macho grown up thing to do.
So what say, instead of bemoaning the people who did it, why don't we all contribute £1 each to get it fixed up again? Can someone at the nursery/cub/rainbow groups co-ordinate this?
As for Podlet's other suggestion - I'll quite happily throw a few shillings into a fund to get it replaced.

Those who did it probably can't read, or write for that matter so catching them and making them write a letter of apology will be pointless. Now we're told not to walk alone at night as people are attacked, set alight or murdered, whilst they tell us that crime is decreasing. Something is seriously wrong in society.

The huge fort at Valley Gardens was set on fire last year. This has to be the best equipped park and they have to be some of the luckiest kids in the area to have had it, but several little t***s ruin it for everyone.
I`m with Capt. Dobie - vigilanties is the future i`m afraid; cuts to police numbers will ensure that.

5 Style Tips Every Woman Can Learn from First Lady Michelle Obama
February 8, 2011 at 5:58 pm , by Sonia Harmon
Looking to revamp your wardrobe? Take some style cues from our First Lady, who's the subject of Kate Betts' new book Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style. "I think people have forgotten that style is powerful," said Betts, a contributing editor at Time. "Everybody can relate to beautiful colors or the way she presents herself, and I think she's used her style to really connect with people." We talked to Betts about some of the staples of Michelle Obama's wardrobe, and why they can work for you, too.
1. Don't be afraid to wear bold colors. "Michelle Obama has made color an expression of power so it feels more attainable by someone who might be afraid of wearing bold colors. People really notice you if you're wearing a beautiful pink dress or turquoise cardigan."
2. Your shoes don't have to be high-heeled and painful to be chic. "High heels have gotten crazy over the past few seasons. When Mrs. Obama wears flats it's not only about the fact that flats are back in fashion, but also that she's wearing shoes that she likes."
3. Keep your style fresh by taking fashion risks. "The risk that people talked about the most was when she wore a cardigan to meet the Queen. A lot of people thought she should have worn a jacket or something more formal. I think that was a perfect example of her saying, 'This is who I am and the way I dress, and this is the way I feel great about myself.'"
4. Find your signature accessory. "I love the fact that Mrs. Obama wears a lot of floral prints and bold jewelry. She's made that her signature."
5. Mix in budget-friendly finds. "When Mrs. Obama wore JCrew gloves to the inauguration, most people could relate. It was a way of connecting to people and making herself very accessible."

MINNEAPOLIS, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FLW, the world's largest tournament-fishing organization, and Ranger Boats, makers of the highest-quality, strongest-performing boats on the water, announced today that Ranger has signed a multiyear extension of its exclusive sponsorship with FLW.
FLW and Ranger have enjoyed the longest-running boat sponsor relationship in the sport, with a history that dates back to FLW's formative years in the early 1980s as Operation Bass. Operation Bass was purchased in 1996 by Minneapolis businessman Irwin Jacobs and renamed FLW in honor of Ranger Boats founder Forrest L. Wood.
"We're proud of our relationship with FLW and excited about the future," said Ranger Boats President Randy Hopper. "From Tour level events and championships like the Forrest Wood Cup, to weekend tournaments across the country, FLW provides an incredible venue for Ranger customers of all skill levels and delivers a competitive experience that's second to none. We look forward to supporting Ranger anglers and FLW for years to come."
While complete terms of the agreement were not disclosed, Ranger Boats will continue its lucrative Ranger Cup program, offering Ranger owners valuable contingency awards in FLW tournaments.
"We're extremely proud of our long-term partnership with Ranger Boats," said Trisha Blake, President of Marketing at FLW. "We've enjoyed building the sport of competitive bass fishing with them, and look forward to many more successful years working alongside the unquestioned leader in premium fishing boats."
Ranger Boats is the exclusive boat sponsor across all of FLW's media platforms, including tournaments and Expos, websites, social media, FLW Bass Fishing magazine and "FLW" on the NBC Sports Network.
FLW is the industry's premier tournament-fishing organization, providing anglers of all skill levels the opportunity to compete for millions in prize money nationwide in 2013 over the course of 220 tournaments across five tournament circuits, four of which provide an avenue to the sport's richest payday and most coveted championship trophy – the Forrest Wood Cup. FLW tournament fishing can be seen on the Emmy-nominated "FLW" television show and is broadcast to more than 564 million households worldwide, making it the most widely distributed weekly outdoors-sports television show in the world. For more information about FLW visit and look for FLW on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube.
Headquartered in Flippin, Ark., Ranger Boats is the nation's premier manufacturer of legendary fiberglass and aluminum fishing boats, which include series of bass, multi-species, fish 'n play, waterfowl utility and saltwater boats.

Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson is expected to return to practice at some point this week, according to head coach Chan Gailey. Jackson is still recovering from the LCL sprain he suffered in Week 1 against the New York Jets and should return to the practice field either Wednesday or Thursday.
Jackson was projected to miss any where from three to eight weeks while recovering from the injury. According to Gailey, Jackson's recovery has been amazing, which has put him ahead of schedule. However, the coach wouldn't begin speculating whether the back would be able to play against the New England Patriots in Week 4. With C.J. Spiller expected to sit out Sunday as well, Tashard Choice would take over the role as starter.
Via the Bills' official website:
"Tashard Choice is a pretty good back," said Gailey. "I have no qualms about running with him"

SEATTLE, WA. -- The Seattle Police have decided not only to patrol and keep a close eye on Hempfest, but also educate festival go-ers in a way that seems to really hit home.
For the first time, a police department is handing out munchies, Doritos specifically to the party goers.
Hempfest is Part party, part protest and part victory celebration after the legalization of pot in Washington.
A lot of marijuana lovers are there.
The bag of munchies includes a humorous but serious legal manifesto, laying out the law.
The department says their website has gotten nearly half a million hit all over the Doritos.
And a donor picked up the tab.

As the pundits and analysts continue to dig into the successes and failures of the 2012 election cycle, we've seen a slew of recommendations and best practices that those of us working in the advocacy world will review and adopt in our day-to-day work. But what about applying some best practices that emanate from the advocacy world?
Advocacy groups know the nitty-gritty of turning everyday people into activists, even if the issue is not a sexy one. While the campaign trail is a great place to pick up some tactics, the battled-scarred advocacy professionals from Capitol Hill to Sacramento also have plenty to offer.
Here are some key lessons that campaigns can learn from those of us mired in the business of getting people excited and engaged beyond the boundaries of the election cycle:
Processes & Pliability
A flexible staff and a set of strategic processes can go a long way to presenting quality content. In campaign life while you may get briefed on all issues, more often than not your media person is just your media person and your political person is just your political person. Because they are thinking beyond the end goal of an election, advocacy organizations have processes in place to help break through the silos and create stronger content by working together.
Advertise to Scale
Bigger isn't always better. In the campaign world you hear a lot of chatter about targeting within a large ad buy, but in the advocacy world it's the smaller successes that make the difference. Small, focused ad buys on social media networks can be a great way to communicate to the influencers who will help get things done without drying up your bank account.
Leveraging Like-Minded Entities
While an "every man for themselves" strategy can serve campaigns in the short term, taking a hint from advocacy groups and connecting with other organizations with similar goals on a specific campaign can lead to some long-term payoffs.
Build Playful Sub-Brands
Candidates and advocacy groups both need to stay on message, but sometimes it helps to think outside the box. Many traditionally stiff organizations have had great success with integrating creative content. Consider branching out and adopting popular memes that could fit within your message. If you do, your audience will be more inclined to go the extra mile to volunteer, participate and vote.
Engagement Doesn't End on Election Day
For all the criticism of the constant campaign, it's amazing to see how many public figures have abandoned their channels now that the election is over. Advocacy groups know that if you want to get people to take an action you can't just ask them and then not engage. Instead, campaigns should use the channels they are active on during the election to promote issues they care about afterwards—whether things turned out the way they wanted or not.

Overview and History
Tehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.
Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.
But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.
In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.
The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.
The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."
Getting There
Mehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.
Tehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.
The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.
Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.
People and Culture
More than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.
Things to do, Recommendations
Take the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.
If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.
Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.
Tehran is also full of museums such as:
the Contemporary Art Museum
the Abghine Musuem (glass works)
the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museum
the museum of carpets (!!!)
Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniatures
and most stunning of all,
the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.

Perry has lost several family members to the disease, and her father is currently undergoing treatment for cancer of the stomach, liver and lung.
She found a perfect partner for her Relay for Life fundraising idea in Peek, owner of Inspire Fitness.
"My dad is currently undergoing chemo and radiation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. So, this is dear to my heart," Peek said.
Six instructors will be involved in the Zumbathon, which will be held Saturday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Swann Gym in Jasper.
There will also be a wall for participants to sign in honor or memory of friends and loved ones diagnosed with cancer.
Although the Zumba Fitness corporation only requires 75 percent of proceeds to go to a charity, Peek said all of the money raised Saturday will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. "This event is open to everyone — even those that claim to 'have two left feet.' The goal is to raise money, awareness and have fun," Peek said.
For tickets, call 205-544-6978 or (404) 536-7341.

LOS ANGELES, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Positive Results Corporation (PRC) will offer Los Angeles-area teens more resources to help them build healthy relationships this summer. The PRC is using a grant from the Verizon Foundation to expand the reach of its Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness program.
The program focuses on all the elements needed to create healthy relationships. Youth participate in "Real Talk" workshops that include leadership skills, personal safety, violence prevention and building self-esteem. The program also trains peer advocates to spread the culture of non-violence in the community.
Kandee Lewis, executive director for the PRC said, "Verizon sponsored our teen summit, Stop The Pain, last year, and this was a natural progression in our relationship. They saw what we were doing in the community and wanted to continue to support our relationship/domestic violence awareness and prevention campaign."
Julia Cooksey, director of government and external affairs for Verizon, said, "Verizon supports the work of nonprofits like the Positive Results Corporation, as they strive to improve the communities where our employees work and live. Together, we can help our youth learn about healthy relationships and how to prevent violence."
For more than a decade, Verizon, through its various business units and its philanthropic foundation, has been a champion of ending domestic violence. Verizon supports a broad range of programs that include: training health care practitioners and first responders about screening for signs of abuse; engaging men as role models and advocates for prevention; educating teens about preventing dating violence; and providing resources for domestic prevention organizations and survivors.
The PRC's program not only targets youths, it also provides classes for Los Angeles County families, including foster care and homeless families.
Kandee said, "Support from Verizon will allow us to use a broad approach to reach our audience, service youth, collaborate with youth-serving organizations, churches, group homes and community-based organizations to reach as many young men and women as possible."
The PRC also conducts outreach via email, social media, Internet radio and in-person.

Sunset Bahle's Bayside Cottage, Suttons Bay
Four steps. That's all that stands between 100 feet of private beach on West Grand Traverse Bay and the petite, perfectly weathered cedar-clapboard nook you can call your own. The fairytale cottage's two bedrooms, wide-windowed kitchen and living room with fieldstone fireplace are notable niceties, but come summer, nearly nonessential; most guests find the sunrise-side porch sitting on the bay proves all the accommodation necessary. $1,700 weekly June through august's end; $750 weekly or $200+ nightly in off-season (two night minimum). 231-271-5800, bahlecottage.com.

Dunne would like to sign loan star Sanchez
10:47am Friday 9th November 2012 in Colchester Utd By Jonathan Waldron
COLCHESTER United manager Joe Dunne would like to sign Sanchez Watt on a permanent basis.
But the U's boss has admitted there is likely to be a queue of other clubs interested in the young forward, should he leave Arsenal.
Watt's three-month loan at Colchester has been disrupted, after a visit to a specialist revealed a torn hamstring.
It could mean that the 21-year-old has to return to the Emirates for treatment, ending his temporary spell at the U's prematurely.
However, U's boss Dunne has not ruled out the prospect of Watt pulling on a Colchester shirt once again.
Dunne said: "Sanchez has been magnificent for us and he enjoyed playing here.
"He would be a player where they might be something we can do in the future.
"But there could be a long list of clubs who would be interested in his services."
For the full story and more U's news, see Friday's Gazette.

BRENTWOOD — Rep. Frank Sapareto, R-Derry, will be sentenced this morning for assaulting a young woman during a domestic dispute.
Sapareto, 53, faces up to a year in jail for the simple assault charge following his conviction Thursday by a Rockingham County Superior Court grand jury. His sentencing is set for 10 a.m.
Sapareto, also a former state senator first elected to the House in 1997, was found guilty following a two-day trial. The jury deliberated for about two hours before handing up its verdict to Judge Marguerite Wageling, Rockingham County Attorney James Reams said.
"Frank was obviously disappointed," his attorney, Anthony DiFruscia, said yesterday. "Frank is exploring the idea of filing an appeal."
Sapareto was granted a new trial after appealing his previous simple assault conviction in 10th Circuit Court in Derry. He was found guilty of assaulting his former girlfriend's daughter when she tried to intervene during a dispute.
In April, Judge Robert Stephen gave Sapareto a suspended 30-day jail sentence, fined him $500 and ordered him to receive anger management counseling.
Sapareto has said he was only trying to protect his former girlfriend from her angry adult son during an argument at her Derry home April 11, 2012. He has been free on $1,500 personal recognizance.
He was arrested on two simple assault charges for pushing the son and a third simple assault charge for pushing the daughter when she tried to intervene, DiFruscia said.
The charges against the son were reduced to mutual combat violations that were appealed to the state Supreme Court following his conviction, DiFruscia said. Those are still pending, he said.
He said Derry police investigators have blown the case out of proportion and police lost a 911 tape of the dispute. Police were told Sapareto pushed his way into the home, shouted at the son and acted aggressively toward him, according to Derry police Capt. Vern Thomas. He referred all questions yesterday to the county attorney's office.
Sapareto has said he intends to get legislation passed this session that would reduce the number of frivolous assault cases heard by the state's courts.
Sapareto has served Rockingham County House Districts 5 and 6 since he was elected in 2008. He served in the Senate from 2002 to 2004, and in the House from 1997 to 2002.

Oct 24, 2012A superlative remake of one of the most important games ever made. [Dec 2012, p.89]
Oct 13, 2012A faithful and extremely professional remake of one of the great classics of the FPS genre. Despite slight niggles, like the marines' aimbot-like behavior, it actually manages to achieve the impossible: Black Mesa is Half-Life, only better. [Oct 2012]
Nov 6, 2012We should applaud an excellent work made for free by fans of the original game.
Sep 20, 2012The result, though still a bit 'sour for some graphic glitch and not bug-free, fully convinces and the new features do nothing but add prestige and longevity to a project worthy of praise from all points of view.
Oct 24, 2012A free game that lets you relive Half-Life without having to stomach outdated visuals. Essential to every gamer. [12/2012, p.69]
Sep 20, 2012Black Mesa is a lot of things. It's one of the best mods ever made and a package that offers every Half-Life fan what they want. It's also a chance for newcomers to get to know a game that has been put on a pedestal over the years, in a relatively modern way. But more importantly, it's a very special and entertaining look into the history of shooters.
Sep 20, 2012A fantastic labour of love that genuinely manages to improve on the ground-breaking original – if only by missing out some of the worst parts.

Sep 21, 2012Black Mesa has the polish synonymous with a Valve property, and has surpassed all expectations in light of the sheer difficulty of the project. The amount of dedication, passion, and love the developers put into this game is immediately apparent as you explore the depths of Black Mesa, and uncover the secrets of this research facility.
Black Mesa transcends the level of 'modification' - they didn't modify anything. They created this game (save for a few sound bites, etc) from the ground up - in an impressive feat not many could accomplish. Having played Half-Life 1, this game left me without a single gripe or complaint regarding it's faithfulness to the original. The additions (of which there are a few) utilize the source engine's physics and graphics in ways that remind you of Half-Life 2. These are not modders, they're developers - and have made a shining masterpiece which raises the bar on third-party game development in the source engine. It's faithful to the original, and yet creates this bizarre sense of deja vu with Half-Life 2 - making them feel like one contiguous game, no longer separated by 6 years or different engines. They have truly done the impossible. This is a must-play.… Expand
Jan 3, 2014This is an excellent remake, it has new voice acting and a new soundtrack which fit perfectly with the original game. The plans to remake the latter stages of the game will be interesting to see but since there is no info on that I cannot comment about it, the same goes for the upcoming multiplayer.… Expand
Feb 19, 2013I have to say right out that this is the best mod ever created. Really smooth gameplay with the Source engine, level design is really complex, enemies in the game are worth the challenge, great AI with humans, HECU soldiers and aliens. Again, there's lots of freedom you can have in the maps, even though some of them may be linear, it leaves a great space of open field, so we won't care about linearity at all. Amazing re-recorded monologues and dialogues and even the new ones. Everything else is also very awesome. The graphics at high and very high levels are stunningly beautiful in everything. At that preset when I turned around after fleeing from the Tentacles when I watched them, the framerate dropped down to 40 on my GTX660Ti. The soundtrack is also really good and it's a mix of atmospheric and action tracks. As i played it in almost 5-6 days and completed the game I feel satisfied and amazed about the game. It's free, it's a mod, you do need Source SDK Base 2007 to run it, but by all words, this is an immersion.… Expand
Jan 3, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is remake is more amazing than the original Half-Life, with enhanced levels, better AI, more challenging gameplay, Half-Life 2 styled puzzles, but be warned, but it's not for people who want a 1-1 remake with only the textures and models changed like Halo Anniversary, EVERYTHING is changed and improved. Although some areas in the game were cut, such as a portion of On a Rail and a portion of Surface Tension, I still think it is amazing and takes on a "Valve quality" design. Black Mesa also has some new areas as well, such as more test labs and experiments in Questionable Ethics, and an amazing ambush from the HECU at the end of the chapter. Overall it was amazing and I give it a 10/10… Expand
Oct 19, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply amazing... One of the best mods out there. It is definitely mod of the year. It has some new puzzles that weren't in half life 1 and because of some limitations i think they removed some stuff but as a result they also added a lot of new puzzles. But its not perfect the platforming is not good at all but its not impossible, platforming in FPS games is a bad idea but they couldn't just remove that because of half life 1 had a lot of platforming sections. Its not perfect but for a free mod its good and i would even say its harder then the original half life 1 the AI is also good. The Black Mesa team did a great job and i cant wait to see the Xen levels. Like i said its not perfect but for a free mod its great.… Expand

Think Tank Photo Hydrophobia 70-200 Flash Rain Cover
The Hydrophobia 70-200 includes a Think Tank Camera Strap that is preconnected to durable metal D-rings on the rain cover. Proper use of the strap and rain cover does not require removing the strap attached to the camera. Nor does it require cutting holes in the rain cover or disassembling the camera's attached strap.
The Hydrophobia Flash 70-200 features a clear Flash Tower built-in to accommodate most sizes of hot-shoe mounted strobes. The Flash Tower has enough room to turn the flash head in any direction for bounce flash. It also fits most compact light modifiers attached to the flash head.
flash tower folds into a pocket on top of the rain cover, when a flash
is not being used. A hook-and-loop patch helps keep the flash tower
stowed and out of the way. This feature makes the Hydrophobia Flash
70-200 a versatile choice for photographers who only use a flash on
certain occasions.
|The lens strap inside the Hydrophobia allows the external Camera Strap
to fully support the weight of the camera and lens. Tighten the lens
strap then clip it around the back end of the lens, ensuring a snug
is no need to remove the strap already attached to the DSLR. Simply
fold the strap and slip it into the Camera Strap Retainer, which is the
elastic loop inside the Hydrophobia.
Hydrophobia securely attaches around the lens hood by a hook-and-loop
strap with non-slip coating. Using a lens hood in the rain effectively
prevents stray droplets from streaking across the front of the lens, in
the similar way it blocks glare from sunlight.
specially designed eyepiece is required for use and proper attachment
of the Hydrophobia rain cover. The eyepiece allows a clear view,
straight through to the camera's viewfinder, while keeping a water
resistant seal. There are four different eyepieces to choose from, two
for Canon and two for Nikon DSLRs.
eyepiece flap can be folded over the Hydrophobia eyepiece when the
camera is not is use. This keeps excess rain or dust from collecting
on the viewfinder while the camera is just hanging by the external
eyepiece pocket is built into the side of the Hydrophobia rain cover.
It can be used to store the Hydrophobia eyepiece when the rain cover is
packed away or it can carry the DSLR's rubber eyecup while the rain
cover is actively being used. Look for the eye-shaped icon on the
soft lens hood cover is included for additional protection from the
elements. Use it as a lens cap; it's too small to be a shower cap.
The hood cover can be stored in the pocket on top of the lens or it can
be completely removed to save some bulk.
clear window on the back of the Hydrophobia keeps the camera's LCD
screen and controls visible. There is also enough room inside the rain
cover to change memory cards and batteries without exposing the camera
to rain.
a shorter focal length lens in the Hydrophobia may be possible
depending on the placement of the zoom or focusing rings on the lens.
|Bring the rain!

Chipper Jones may be at home like the rest of us, kicking back on his sofa and watching the Atlanta Braves, tweeting attaboys, but his presence is still felt by many players on the team. One of those players is Andrelton Simmons:
Andrelton Simmons told me he watched video of Chipper Jones today to get his swing right. It worked- he had 3 hits.— Tom Hart (@tom_hart) April 10, 2013
Simply watching Chipper hit is enough to help another player with his hitting. Chipper is like a hitting coach by osmosis.
This is a neat reminder of the impact that great players can have, even after they've left the field.

Emmy award winner, Raúl "El Gordo" de Molina, is considered the Regis Philbin of Hispanic TV and provides his viewers with some of the most unique programming seen on TV today as the co-‐host of "El Gordo y la Flaca," Univision network's #1 entertainment news show.
"El Gordo y la Flaca" has been on the air for the past 10 years and has more viewers on its time slot than ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX combined, consistently beating the competition in ratings and sometimes even exceeding The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 2006, Raul was chosen as spokesperson for AT&T wireless (US Hispanic market) and he has had such a positive impact that today, almost 4 years later, he remains an integral part of their team.
In 2003 De Molina published his first book based on the celebrity interviews he has conducted, and exclusive photos he has taken over the years of the world's most famous and important Latin and international celebrities, royals and jet-‐setters. In October 2008, he launched his latest book "La Dieta del Gordo" with Random House, which immediately became a best-‐seller among Hispanic books.
Among Raul's other successes he is also an accomplished photojournalist whose work has been featured in national and international publications such as "Time Magazine," "Newsweek," "Life," "Hola," "The National Enquirer" and "Paris Match" among others. It is his particular method of meticulous regard for detail and his strive to portray a story through his photography that has granted him a numerous amount of achievements and recognitions.
Additionally, for the past 10 years he has been the Joan Rivers of the red carpet in the most important Latin Award shows such as the Latin Grammy's and Premios Lo Nuestro. This past December Raul was chosen to be the first person in history to conduct the inaugural Times Square New
Years Eve celebration and lit up New York's "Big Ball." He has previously conducted the Live show at Times Square where millions have celebrated the new year together with him.
Raul's television career, spanning 16 years includes reporting for and hosting some of the best programs on Hispanic TV. His popularity and ability to capture an audience is evidenced by the fact that his shows were the highest rated while he was a host at the Telemundo network and currently holds the #1 position at Univision.
Raul's outstanding television performances have earned him multiple Emmy awards and have made him a world-‐renowned personality in addition to undoubtedly being the most recognized and loved household name for Latinos. In his own words, "I am driven by my audience and will go to any lengths to exceed their expectations by providing the stories that entertain, amaze and sometimes even shock." In 2009, Raul was awarded a star in the Las Vegas "Walk of Fame."

Reviews for Turkey Alfredo Tetrazzini
Sort By :
Great supper dish and quick to make!
My husband and I really liked it. The peas were a nice contrast in color to the dish. I used a Light version of jarred Alfredo sauce, and omitted the swiss cheese b/c there was none in the house. I think it still was wonderful. Oh, and I had no Turkey so I used canned chicken instead. Very tasty dish.
Very tasty, wife even ate the leftovers.
Next time I would break spaghetti in thirds or quarters when cooking, would make easier to toss
This was a bit bland, and could use fewer peas. It wasn't bad, but really nothing special.
Very good. I will make this dish again but would reduce the amount of peas and add somw ater chestnuts, clerey and garlic.
