As I was looking for a gluten free nutrition bar, I tried NuGo Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Crunch Bar and while I liked it but I wanted a more ... exciting flavor. I decided to try Dark Chocolate Crunch, Dark Chocolate Trail Mix - not much more exciting, but what can I say - I do like chocolate.
This bar is similar to the Dark Chocolate Crunch in appearance with a dark chocolate layer on the bottom and some chocolate intermingled in the rice crisps. This is different from the aforementioned variety, however, because it has a more complex flavor - the nuts really add something to both the texture and taste. This bar too is pretty chewy, almost too much so, but it tastes great.
Each NuGo Free Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Trail Mix Bar provides 160 calories, 5% and 8% of the daily value for total and saturated fat, 4 grams of fiber, 13 grams of sugar and 9 grams of protein.
The ingredients include, rice protein crisp (rice protein concentrate and rice flour), crisp rice (rice flour), semi sweet dark chocolate (sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter), crystalline fructose, almonds, tapioca syrup, brown rice syrup, organic agave syrup, chicory root fiber, cranberries (sugar), rice protein, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, water, organic acacia gum, flaxseed oil, natural flavors, baking soda, salt, and walnuts.
A bar costs $1.29 and can be bought online at NuGo. I really liked this flavor and would buy it again.

Found Film - Scotland 1967
I found these slides in a box at a boot fair. I had to save them! They are shots from scotland, John-o-groats in 1967, its history, and i didn't want them to get lost or thrown away! Enjoy! P.S these were in the same box as the ones from Egypt, and i think they are the same people.
Taken by ehmahh with an Unknown Camera loaded with Kodak Kodachrome film in Scotland, United Kingdom. These tags describe this photo: slides, kodak, kodachrome, bridge, vintage, old, john-o-groats, 1967, scotland, film, and found. Date: 1967-09. Time: Afternoon.

Very well executed. Not "Died Laughing" funny because farce is not what we laugh at nowadays, but that didn't stop it being interesting and entertaining. How many of Pinero's devices went on to become staples of TV sitcom? How many strands of Victorian society were being sent up in the plot? Excellent ensemble playing, especially from the athletic and not quite juvenile Joshua Maguire, and from the 2 principals, in today's performances the understudies Nicholas Lumley and Tamsin Carroll. Do not feel short changed if you're booked for a performance with 3 billed actors indisposed. Lumley, T Carroll and Manning in this tight and disciplined production in no way second best. Excellent. Looking forward to more Pinero at Trelawny of the Wells (Donmar).

On April 25, Christopher Epps, Mississippi Department of Corrections commissioner, announced that four community work centers would close on July 15.
One of the four would be the center in Rosedale with the others located in Yazoo County, Jefferson County and George County.
Ray Bell, director of public works, said, "Once that happens we'll be in world of hurt at public works."
Bell explained that his department uses about eight inmates from the work center and "even at the bottom of the pay scale, starting out at $8 an hour plus benefits, uniforms and everything, you're looking at $28,000 per person.
"If this happens our budget goes out the window."
Bell said the Bolivar County Supervisors are spearing a movement to keep the center open and U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson has been helping on what needs to be done.
"The county has to be the front runner as it's a county facility and the city needs to support the county," said Bell.
Nowell said city would do whatever it needed to support keeping the community work center open.
The Bolivar County Community Work Center in Rosedale can house between 75-100 inmates, who are booked on lighter offenses, and who are able to work in the county by cutting grass, picking up trash, performing janitorial work and assisting at local schools.
Bell was asked if there were any inmates at the Bolivar County Correctional Facility who could work within the community.
"I asked and was told there are only about eight who fit the criteria," he said.
Epps said in his April announcement, "Tough times make you make tough decisions. A budget shortfall and fewer non-violent inmates eligible to be housed at community work centers are the reasons for the decision.
"Closing these four facilities will save taxpayers about $2.3 million."
However according to Supervisor Andrew Williams, the inmates save the county about $2.5 million in wages.
"If you estimate 100 workers at each of the four centers and replace them with hourly wage employees with benefits, that's going to cost about $7-8 million," said Williams, previously.
"We will have to replace the labor force and shift the weight locally — increasing the tax burden for us."
According to a MDOC press release, offenders in the community work centers contributed $17,772,600 in free labor to local, county, state and non-profit charitable organizations throughout the state during the 2012 fiscal year.

Yesterday's Morning News featured an advice column that included recommendations for wedding toasts (e.g., "First I'd like to toast my favorite relatives: Uncles Jim, Jack, and Jamie-san, and how about a little shout-out [look at mom] for someone's favorite El Capitan-o Jose Cuervo").
As is typically the case, there is little offered that can be used by the Mother Of The Bride to salute her daughter's marriage. I, however, have some experience in this field and may be able to help.
The woman in my life was concerned about the toasts at her daughter's impending marriage festivities. Naturally, my sense of gallantry compelled me to compose a thoughtful, celebratory Mother of the Bride Wedding Toast studded with significance and fraught with feeling.
Although the bride and her mother seemed happy enough with my suggestion, the toast was, inexplicably and lamentably, never used. That wedding's loss can now be your gain. I am now releasing the toast to the public domain. If it fits your situation, raise a glass and let 'er rip.
As Mother of the Bride, I want to remind my daughter and her husband that, although today's celebration is the culmination of much effort, prayer, and hope on your part and on the part of your friends and families, a wedding is a beginning, not a conclusion. On the occasion of your marriage, you may well wonder what your lives will look like twenty or thirty or forty years from now.
Let me read you what a wise man once wrote:
You can marry, pursue a career, and raise a family – and after your children are grown with families of their own, your life can be even more spectacular. When you're mature, love can be more intense, romance can be more fulfilling, and, yes, sex can be incredibly better than when you're a newlywed.
I know that this idea may sound too good to be true, but I'm here to tell you that it can indeed happen just that way. After all, I got married, I pursued a career, and I have kids who are now grown and starting families of their own – and sure enough, today I find love more intense, romance more fulfilling, and sex is not just better but altogether fabulous compared to my newlywed days. I've never been happier.
Now, I certainly can't speak for your father about how he feels. But, who knows? If it's been this incredibly wonderful for my lover and me since your dad and I divorced, then it's at least possible that he and his girlfriend are happy as well.

Why study pre-physical therapy at a liberal arts college?
Studying pre-physical therapy at a liberal arts college creates an environment that allows students to develop as well-rounded people. Many times, people get caught up in the technical and scientific side of physical therapy. In reality, that is only a component of the profession. By being forced to step out of our comfort zones, a liberal arts college provides the tools needed to succeed in a diverse world.
What makes the pre-physical therapy program at CSB/SJU unique?
I think the largest contribution to the uniqueness of the pre-physical therapy program at CSB/SJU is the amount of effort put in to solidify the success of the students. The coursework is challenging, the faculty is exceptional and there are numerous opportunities for further research and volunteer experiences to explore. Students are able to walk into a classroom feeling that their professor wants them to accomplish their goals. The program at CSB/SJU more than prepares students for graduate studies.
What has your experience with the CSB/SJU pre-physical therapy program faculty been like?
My experience with the CSB/SJU faculty could not have been any better. Don Fischer, the program's advisor, has guided me through every bump on the road. Like Don, I would say that all of the faculty members are approachable, kind and knowledgeable. Most of them understand the chaos that students live through and are flexible when conflicts arise. Furthermore, the faculty members are great resources for internship, shadowing and research opportunities.
What has been one of the greatest challenges you have faced?
My greatest challenge by far has been overcommitting myself to all of the wonderful opportunities on campus. Managing my time became hard when I devoted myself to collegiate athletics, intramurals, clubs, organizations, volunteering, work, research and shadowing experiences at the same time. However, after reorganizing some of my extracurricular activities and learning to prioritize more effectively, my coursework and schedule became manageable.
What advice do you have for students considering the pre-physical therapy program?
My greatest advice is to use your voice and ask questions! Question your college admission representatives, professors, physical therapists, advisors and peers. It's no fun going through life trying to wrap your head around something by yourself. College is the time to make the connections and use the resources you gain to further your success.
Did you study abroad? If so, how did that experience impact you?
I did not study abroad. I chose to focus my interests at CSB/SJU for my four years. However, if any study abroad program interests you, I would definitely recommend that you pursue that opportunity.
What are your plans after graduation?
For the next 3 years, I will be at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. pursuing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree. I would love to go into any general orthopedic setting, but cardiovascular and neurological therapy would be interesting as well.

About Lee_H_Weber's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
From the first day my Dad let me wash down one of the cars , or let me turn a wrench under the hood (in hopes it would one day be mine), I've always had an affinity with American Automobiles. I recall high school days where Chevelles/Novas/Camaros/GTOs peppered the parking lot and the guy with the biggest motor usually got the biggest looks (and the best looking girl!). Cars are as much a part of our American culture as Apple Pie, and white picket fences. They symbolize who we are, and where we came.
As I've gotten older, the thrills of fancy paint jobs, and big motors (although still very much a part of the hobby I love) has been superseded by the friendships that have developed with folks in this hobby. They are simply the best of the best. So, that's my affinity for cars in a "nut shell." The hobby was initiated by an experiences shared with a father, developed into a means to "qualify" oneself as a young man who had arrived, and finally, sharing the love for cars with a group of great people.

Fagor's premier line of pressure cookers, the Futuro line, incorporates features of the Duo and Splendid lines, and adds a few more great features.
- Short handles for ease of storage.
- Bottom of the steamer basket doubles as a food grater.

Like all Fagor's cookers, it works on all types of domestic stovetops: gas, electric, ceramic and induction. Simple-to-use dial format makes it easy to regulate and release pressure, and remove for cleaning!

The drama continues.
A New York Judge has ordered Hostess and the kamikaze baker's union to at least try working this out, but I think it's too late.
Some of our own local businesses that use Wonder Bread (Arthur Bryant BBQ being one) are already being forced to switch to alternate vendors. Grocery stores also aren't going to let that prime shelf space sit empty while this drags on, are they?

Will Kareem be Head Coach? He Has Faith — and Maybe That's an Issue
December 10, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Gregg Doyel
CBSSports.com National Columnist
The tragedy of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar isn't that he'll die some day. We'll all die some day. The tragedy is that he'll die without spending even an hour as a head coach in the NBA.
He's not going to die any time soon, certainly not from the rare form of leukemia that he recently disclosed he has been fighting for nearly a year. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, almost 90 percent of the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with the best possible medicine are still alive after five years. That's terrific.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has the best possible medicine, so five years from now I expect he will be 67 years old. But five years from now I'm positive he still won't be an NBA coach. And that's terrible.
I'm wondering if bigotry is at work here, and by "wondering," a lot of you will say I'm "accusing." And I'm not. I'm not accusing the almost entirely white NBA ownership — which last season employed a 77 percent black roster base, not to mention 11 black coaches and five black team presidents — of bigotry in the usual sense.
But I'm wondering — just wondering, people, just wondering — if Abdul-Jabbar's religion has worked against him. Here we have the leading scorer in NBA history. Ever. And he's not just an athletic savant put on this earth to play one sport better than almost anyone ever has. (Which is what I think of when I think of Joe Montana.) No, Abdul-Jabbar was one of the smartest people ever to play in the NBA, and I do mean ever. He has written books that go far beyond basketball. The guy's a borderline genius, and if I've just written a word that doesn't belong in this story, fine. Take out the word borderline.
And he wants to coach. He has wanted to coach for years. He has coached in the United States Basketball League in Oklahoma and at the Fort Apache Indian reservation in Arizona. He has served as a scout and as a low-ranking assistant in the NBA. At this moment he is a special assistant for the Lakers, working primarily with young center Andrew Bynum. But Abdul-Jabbar wants to be a head coach in the NBA.
And nobody in the NBA will hire him.
I can't make sense of it, so I'm grasping for possible reasons. And one possible reason — a possibility, people — is that religious bigotry is at work. If an NBA owner has ever hired a Muslim as his team's head coach, I'm not aware of it. There certainly has never been a head coach in the NBA who was so devoutly Muslim at any time in his life that he took on a Muslim name. Abdul-Jabbar doesn't seem that devout now, by the way. He has done a commercial for Coors and has been investigated twice for marijuana possession, and the Muslim faith frowns on such hedonistic pursuits.
Maybe his faith has nothing to do with his inability to get a head coaching job. Seriously, it could be irrelevant. There is another factor here, and to ignore it would be intentionally misleading, and I won't do that. So I'll acknowledge that Abdul-Jabbar has been known for his prickly personality over the years. He has been reluctant to talk to the media, and dismissive at times when he has talked to the media, though he was more than accommodating the one time I approached him.
Abdul-Jabbar knows his demeanor has hurt him. In 2006, he told the Los Angeles Times, "I always saw it like [reporters] were trying to pry. I was way too suspicious, and I paid a price for it."
He could be paying that price to this day. Owners typically don't want to hire a surly, public-relations disaster as a head coach, though it happens. Bill Belichick rules the NFL. Isiah Thomas landed coach and GM jobs in the NBA. Former NBA coach Bill Russell was prickly. Current Bucks coach Scott Skiles is prickly. But they got their chance. Skiles in particular is on his third team.
Abdul-Jabbar? He's still waiting for his first chance. And he's not waiting quietly, either. When a story on ESPN.com in August ruminated on the possible heir to Lakers coach Phil Jackson, Abdul-Jabbar used his Twitter feed — which has a million followers — to lobby for the job:
• "I just read the ESPN story on who will replace Phil and I c that a lot of u think I would be a good choice. I would have to agree with my fans."
• "If people want to find out what I am sitting on in terms of basketball knowledge maybe I'll get a shot at a head coaching position."
• "I have not been given an opportunity as a head coach so maybe a groundswell of support from my fans could open a door for me!"
Clearly Abdul-Jabbar wants to be a head coach, but the NBA is too busy recycling Scott Skiles and Don Nelson and proven losers like Alvin Gentry and Mike Dunleavy and Lionel Hollins and Eddie Jordan. This is a league in need of a new idea, and I have it: His name is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
He's the all-time NBA scoring leader, he's brilliant, and he's dying to be a head coach.
What's the problem here?

On Friday 10 August, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) student Ed McKeever will take to Dorney Water, Eton, to begin his quest to win the K1 200m sprint kayak.
For the past two years Ed has been combining his studies with competing. He has passed his fundamental papers and is now sitting the professional exams. During that time he has won the World and European Championships as well as World Cup races.
Andrew Leck, head of ACCA UK said: 'Often we talk about how only students of dedication and determination pass our qualification and nothing demonstrates that more than Ed. He has sat and passed his exams while training, competing and beating the world's best. The flexibility in ACCA's qualification has allowed Ed to combine studying with competing.
'Everyone at ACCA wishes Ed the best for next week and hope he can bring home the gold for Great Britain.'
Ed McKeever said: 'After finishing school I had quite solid results in maths and business. I wanted something that could get me a job, ACCA seemed like something that would complement my strengths.
'Some people compete in canoeing up until their late thirties. I'm not sure I fancy doing it for that long – I think I'll be ready to sit at a desk by then. Accountancy will be a whole new challenge.'
Ed will be competing in the K1 200m kayak, the heats and semi finals are on the morning of Friday 10 August, with the final the following morning.
- Over the past two years Ed has blogged about his experience of training, competing and of course studying. See the 'Related Links' section, left of this article, for more details.

Product Description
The bass sounds just magical in the middle register and totally sings when soloing. Plus it's a ton of fun to play – the sloped shoulders are really comfortable and make accessing the upper register very easy.
I've been giving the instrument a good shakedown over the last month or so and have been very pleased with the results from an individual perspective. The instrument has a big sound to it – very clear throughout – and is especially sweet in the middle-to-upper register where it really shines. The sound is very focused but not artificial. It plays like a dream.
From a physical standpoint, the bass is very easy to play. The shoulders are narrower than what most bassists are used to, but in doing so, you're fighting less with the instrument to get around. The fingerboard is exquisite.
One thing that I'm fully enamored with about the bass is the way that it handles extreme temperature changes. This bass is the best instrument we could've possibly purchased for what it is that we do. We're part-way through a Christmas concert tour in Southern Ontario. Like you guys, we got blasted with winter a few days ago, and baby, it's cold outside. Add that to the fact that we can't bring our gear indoors (or park the 5-ton truck underground), so the bass spends its nights in its coffin outside in the freezing cold.
Behold though, once the case is removed and the instrument sits on the stand for about five or 10 minutes, it's room temperature and good-to-go. I love it! There's no way in hell you'd be able (or willing) to do that with a good quality wood bass."
Brayden, Professional bass player and owner
The bass is a ¾ bass and weighs about 19 pounds. The string length is 41½ inches. It has a swell back and is comprised of a one piece back, sides and neck; the second piece is the top and the third is the fingerboard. It is a "free adaptation" of the bass Luis thinks is the best in the Boston Symphony, an Antonio Roca bass. It is a bit asymmetrical in the upper bout, making it easier to play. It has Rubner nickel tyrolean style tuners.
The bass has a robust sound and can go from zero degrees into a hot dry room or to a hot humid country and not lose it's sound, not crack nor have it's neck come loose.
The new Luis and Clark double bass is light, strong, looks and sounds spectacular with reverb and power. 41.5 inch string length. Free shipping within the continental United States.
