Egg Free Raspberry Streusel Bars
This recipe for vegan raspberry streusel bars is based on one by Brittany at Real Sustenance. Ever since she posted her delicious looking recipe last year during the holidays I've been wanting to make it.
I adjusted her recipe by removing the sweetener from the crust and by increasing the amount of high protein items in the streusel so the topping would be a bit less sweet as well. I hope you like these gluten free dessert bars as much as we did.
Raspberry Streusel Bars
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
- Pulse ingredients together in a food processor until dough forms a ball
- Press dough into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish
- Bake at 350° for 12 minutes
- 1 cup raspberry jam
Streusel Topping:
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons xylitol
- ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- Pulse oil, almond flour, xylitol and salt together in a food processor until creamy
- Briefly pulse in walnuts and coconut, so they are left coarse, not pulverized
- Set streusel aside
- Spread raspberry fruit spread over warm crust
- Sprinkle streusel topping over raspberry fruit spread
- Bake at 350° for 15 minutes
- Cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours to set up
- Serve
Makes 16 bars
Recently I was fortunate enough to meet a wonderful couple, Pepi Gramshammer and his lovely wife Sheika. Pepi is one of the founders of Vail –"Pepi's Face" is a run on the mountain; Sheika, his awesome wife, is the genius behind many of their business ventures. They are the quintessential close knit hardworking European couple.
In any event, Sheika asked me what I had done earlier that day, and I told her that I had spent the afternoon making streusel. She had no clue what I was talking about which I thought was funny since she is from Austria and German is her native language. Finally, I got my point across through various descriptions and she said, "Oh! STREUSEL!" Rolling her "r's" in that wonderful way that only she can.
Whatever your accent, I hope you enjoy these vegan Raspberry Streusel Bars!
Amazing! I was just thinking of baking something rasberryish. Then I checked your blog and you just posted 4 minutes ago! I also have some freeze-dried rasberries. I have to make this and try adding them somewhere! Thanks, Elana!
These look quite delicious!!
I don't care that it's 10pm, I'm making these!
Yum! I love the bar recipes in The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, this one looks even better to me without the sweeteners! I don't usually use xylitol so I may sub stevia or even some dates for the topping…
Since I don't really like the taste of stevia, I often use honey as a natural sugar substitute in a recipe like this where it's less than a cup. It may add a few extra calories but I think it makes it moister.
Or agave syrup depending on what side of the vegan/honey debate you are on!
Just had to tell you how wonderful your sesame dip was with carrots and celery – even on a burrito! I agree with your husband when he said it was "to good". This raspberry streusel will be next on the list of must trys! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. Tracy
Elana, those look amazing! If anyone tries this with a different sweetener, can you post the amounts and how it turned out? My dog is a Houdini at getting food off the counter so I don't want to take a chance with the xylitol.
These look fabulous! I love how easy they are and I totally need a grab and go breakfast- I am making these asap!
Truvia or Palm Sugar would work just as well as the Xylitol in equal measurements.
What brand raspberry fruit spread do you recommend? Or should I make this from scratch?
I love everything about this and look forward to making them. I finally wised up and ordered the 5 lb bag of almond flour from your resource. If and when we meet one day, I owe you a lunch – you saved me a bundle!!
OMG OMG OMG lol I NEED to try these! YUM!
Egg-free treat! Thank you!
I love that you bake with almond flour! I've been making pancakes and cookies using almond flour and was wanting to try something different, so I'm so happy to see this recipe! The raspberry bars look awesome and I'm looking forward to trying them out. Tons of protein, easy on your gut…such an awesome idea!
These look amazing! =D
Found you on pinterest! Love that you use xylitol. I'm now about to stalk your recipes & follow you! :) Thanks!
I love your Almond cookbook!! My absolute favorite Gf cookbook. Your recipes are so easy and healthy . My question is if I'm making your DARK RYE BREAD and doubling the recipe how do I adjust the cooking time?
I'm off fruit, but I just made these with pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and stevia and they are DELICIOUS. Thank you Elana– you make life on a restricted diet worth living :)
LOVE this idea! I've made pumpkin cakes using Elana's banana cake recipe. And mini muffins with kabocha squash and chai spices were amazing!
Thanks so much for this recipe – many times when you go to a "paleo" site it automatically excludes vegan options, mainly the egg factor. I am grain-free but my sister is allergic to eggs, so it really nice to come to your site and find something we can both enjoy. Added bonus: sugar-free! I will definitely be making these next weekend.
These sound wonderful-I can't wait to try them!
I used rapadura (same amounts) and made my own fresh raspberry jam! Omg it smells so good! I dont know if I can wait the 2 hours I the fridge!!!
I can't wait to make these! YUM!!
These look sooooo good, omgoshhh.
Wow, Elana these look amazing. I love how simple the recipe is, too. Love that you tweaked it to be sugar free. Thanks for sharing.
The link to your Paleo bread recipe doesn't work.
I get an error message when I try to access this page:
It worked for me when I clicked the link
Looks delicious! I love that you use almond flour rather than regular one. Almond flour is highly nutritious, and it's also very high in proteins.
Looks amazing, love no eggs, …can you substitute pecans for walnuts? THanks so much!
I made these tonight and subbed pecans for walnuts. They are delicious!
Elana (the wizard of gf baking and all things good) Thank You for the recipe. You are my heroine. My journey towards healthy cooking/baking started with you and I always come back to your site. I have both your cookbooks (my husband couldn't live without them) These will be my next baking treat. Hugs.
This is my first attempt at paleo desserts and 5th day on the diet. I was beginnig to crsve my old sweets but this satisfied them completely. FANTASTIC! I had to substitute almonds for walnuts and I added cinnamon. Delicious. Thanks
Looks really good! I just tried to make the crust and it never did form a ball in the food processor, and I let it go for a while. I tried to press it in the dish and bake it like that, but of course it didn't hold together and is very crumbly. I think I'll throw it back in with some almond butter and more coconut oil and water and see what happens? Do you think I'd have better luck using the blender? Thanks!
So, I realized when cleaning up that I'd used Bob's RM Gluten Free Flour Blend instead of almond flour. No wonder it wasn't forming a ball! The bars were still yummy, but I can't wait to try them with the almond flour. (I made them with the above modifications plus a flax egg). I also used apricot preserves for some of the bars since I was low on raspberry, and love them both ways. Thanks for another yummy egg free recipe and for the inspiration :)
I decided to make these tonight so I would have a Friday breakfast treat. I mean, why can't I eat them for breakfast – high in protein and with a little jam! :-)
Of course as with many impromptu cooking efforts I realized that I didn't have all the ingredients, namely, 1.) I didn't have raspberry jam 2.) I didn't have coconut.
Undeterred, I substituted lingonberry jam from IKEA for the raspberry. The coconut was a little harder. I ended up just tossing in some chia seeds and hemp seeds. I figured if nothing else they would make my breakfast treat healthier. In retrospect a little oatmeal (making it non-Paleo) would have helped bulk up the streusel a little.
After tasting a bite while still warm, they are tasty and should make for a mighty fine breakfast paired with a cup of English breakfast tea. Thanks Elana!
I`ve tried this recipe and i`m really impressed, it has a very good taste. My both child tried it and they like it a lot. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Since I can't have nuts, can you substitute another kind of flour? My daughter showed me you site and love your recipes. She made me a birthday cake from your recipes and it was wonderful!
I'm not sure if this will work but you can sometimes substitute ground sunflower seeds for almond flour. Just grind them in a food processor to the same consistency as almond flour.
In this recipe, finely ground sesame seeds might just work. We used almond meal, not the flour, and it worked well. I often use almond meal for cookie-like recipes. A coarser texture works well in cookies and bars. Good luck and have fun experimenting!
I just made these in Norway :) Yum I used zero sweeteners. I made the bottom as directed. For the sugar free filling I cooked down 1 C. raspberries, 1 C. blueberries and 1 very finely chopped medium apple into a compote. I stirred in 1 tsp of vanilla at the end. For the streusal I left out the xylitol and used a mixture of pecans, hazelnuts and walnuts + 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Deadly.
This sounds good! Do you peel the apple before chopping it up? Does the chopped up apple get reduced with the blueberries and raspberries on the stove, or do you add the chopped apple to the mix after the berries have been reduced?
Hi :) I peeled the apple, diced it very fine and cooked it down with the raspberries/blueberries. Overall my bars were not 'sweet' as a traditional 'bar' but that's how I like them. If I wanted them a little sweeter I would have aded a Tbsp of maple syrup or honey to the compote and/or crust :)
p.s I made them one more time and used half almond flour and half almond meal in the crust and the bottom turned out even better than the first round.
By the way Elana, thanks for using xylitol in this recipe. I often use 1/2 xylitol and 1/2 sugar in recipes to cut back on the sugar.
These were delicious! I ate one for dessert last night and one for breakfast this morning :)
I made these, they are great. Very easy to make. I used current jam. It took longer to cool and set up. I'd leave the salt out next time, but that is just me, I'm not used to salt.
Thanks for posting this recipe. -
Well, these certainly looked absolutely wonderful. However, we found (for my family's taste) that there was too much salt – I'm guessing it was the salt in the topping. (I noticed someone else made mention of the salt as well in another post.) Also, there didn't seem to be enough raspberry filling. Obviously the more filling, the more sugar per serving so that would certainly be a consideration.
Also, they needed to bake a little longer — we are a a higher elevation (over 5200′ elevation) so that may be a consideration – not sure, but just thought I'd mention it. I had to bake the crust longer and ended up baking the struesel longer as well – obvioulsy ovens vary so that may have been the problem. Also everyone seemed to think that the topping was lacking "something" – maybe some cinnamon or ?? Didn't have any problem with the sweeteners as I used stevia.
Just thought I'd mention what I observed while making this recipe. Will definitely try it again – great idea! thank you!
YUM! These were so easy and delicious. They were a big hit at both a potluck and my office.
I used stevia with a little brown rice syrup instead of xylitol. I also used Earth Balance instead of coconut oil. I used a mix of nut flours that I had on hand — almond with hazelnut — and it turned out great.
Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
This was absolutely scrumptious. I omitted the xylitol from the topping and it was plenty sweet. Substituted homemade plum jam for raspberry. Topped a few pieces with fresh whipped cream. Everything about it tastes devilishly good like it is bad. Elana – you did it again! Numnumnum!!!
This recipie is one of my new all time favorites! I used fresh raspberries and reduced them over meduim heat to use instead of the raspberry jam for the filling, and instead of the xylitol, I used 10 drops of vanilla stevia. They turned out wonderful! I plugged the recipie into a nutrition calculator, and (for a 16 serving pan) came up with 165 calories per bar with 3.7 grams of protein! Thank you Elana for your healthy and yummy ideas!
Using the amounts in the recipe for the crust, after pulsing the almond flour was still dry. I doubled the amounts of the liquids and it was barely moist. I hate to waste this. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I just happened to see your comment and I had the same thing happen. I used all the same amount of ingredients that Elana has in her recipe and then I added 1 egg. The ingredients bound together and baked up very well. Happy baking:)
I made these as a treat while staying with friends last weekend. The friends are full-sugar, full-grain, full-dairy eaters. Even so, they couldn't believe there was no butter in these – the base is like shortbread and so decadent! My friends spent the weekend hiding the tupperware container of these treats from each other. Make them! They will be a hit, regardless of the eating habits of your friends/family!Thanks Elana for another delish and healthy treat!
This is just a lovely recipe- easy to make, and sweet-but not too sweet. I made this with Trader Joe's Organic Superfruit Spread, a blend of Morello cherry, red grape, wild blueberry and pomegranate concentrate. Delicious!
mmm…these look absolutely delicious!!! i'm newly gluten-free, and missing the "sweets" in my life a bit : )
thanks for the recipe
cailen -
Wonderful! Thanks so much.
These were absolutely wonderful and will be made often. I substituted honey for the xylitol.
I made these for a cooking class I was teaching and they were outstanding…I think everyone ran out to buy the book!
Yummmmy Im so happy I found this! This site is definitly going on my favorites list :). I found some other yummy paleo treats at the site below hope you like it!
These bars are wonderful. I am not vegan so I added 1 egg to the crust and really enjoyed that. Thanks Elana for all of your wonderful recipes.
Oh these were so good, subbed honey for the xylitol. My 8 y/o didn't even bother to cut one out of the pan, I found her eating them right out of the baking dish with a fork. After her last bite she asked me when I was going to make more of these bars. Very good! Thanks!
Oh, and I forgot: I reduced the salt by 1/2. I always do with Elana's recipes. She has admitted that she likes salt a LOT! I have reduced my salt intake significantly over the past two years and find most people use more than me. So, I used 1/2 what she calls for and they were still very tasty and the salt was still noticeable. I might reduce it eve more next time, just to see if I miss it.
I also subbed in maple syrup for the xylitol, since that is what I have on hand. I only used 1 Tbsp maple syrup.
I really love these recipes. They are so simple and very adaptable to substitutions.
These are an excellent and satisfying treat! I made them with home grown, frozen raspberries, just mashed into a paste. (And I added a duck egg to the dough) So very yummy! Thanks Elana!
Just arrived in Chicago (from India, Nepal, Tibet). After 3 months of no baking (3 hours off the plane) niece Kaylie and I made this. It was love at first bite!!! Thanks so much for so healthy, so delicious bonding experiences!
These were INCREDIBLE!!! I made them last night…didn't have quite enough almond flour so I just filled the rest in with coconut flour. I have severe candida, and my allergies are a serious issue. So I'm always looking for things that I can bake that are wheat free, sugar free, and all the other "free's" I need. This recipe tops the list! Actually…this whole website tops anything Ice found prior. I <3 Elana's Pantry!
I tried to make the raspberry bars from your almond flour cookbook that have a similar crust. Although I used a recommended brand of almond flour and processed the crust until a ball formed, the crust did not hold together at all. When I tried to slice the bars after they had cooled, the bottom layer basically crumbles when I try to pick them up. Any idea of what I did wrong?
Thank you for another winner! I made the crust as directed (it did not form a ball but I didn't care that these turned out a little crumbly) and put on the raspberry jam. For the topping I used just chopped walnuts and dry coconut – delicious.
I love the idea of making my own compote – thanks Sunny in Norway!
Hi Elana!
I want to talk to you about using your recipes.
I do not want to break any copyrights and want to credit you for everything I use.
I am a dietetic intern and a long time member of your blog. I have been making your recipes for several years (and have both your books too).
Please email me and I will explain the details.
Thank you so much,

Loved these. I have made them twice, once with the plum Forti di Frutta, and again with the Fig (both times raspberry was sold out at the store). They were a huge hit– one thing though, I will cut down on the salt next time. Maybe 1/4 tsp. instead of 1/2 for the crumble top. But other than that, I LOVE how "buttery" these taste. Delicious!
A couple of weeks ago I made these in Jaipur for some friends from England with fabIndia cherry preserves. The reaction from my less-than-healthy Brit pal? "If these are healthy, I LOVE healthy food!"
I just tried this recipe. WOW, I love it :).
Thank you for your wonderful recipes and for sharing them with everyone. I have diabetes and decided to go grain-free over a year ago and your recipes have been an amazing resource for me.I tweak them to suit my needs as I do not use honey/agave. Thank you, thank you!
This is one of my favorite recipes. Instead of the raspberry jam, I take 1.5 cups of frozen cranberries and cook it down in a pot on very slow heat, until the consistency is like jam. I add a little liquid stevia and vanilla to just take the edge of the sourness.
I just made these cookies… with a few modifications because I didn't want to run to the store. They are delicious at any rate! I used 3/4 cup coconut sugar instead of agave/honey, 2 tablespoons hazelnut milk, 1/4 cup chocolate chips, and sunflower oil instead of shortening. They turned out great! Excellent recipe, Elana!

One of the oldest and most prestigious departments of ophthalmology in the United States, the NYU Department of Ophthalmology provides leadership in research, education, and patient care.
About the time Hermann von Helmholtz was revolutionizing the study of the eye in vivo with the invention of the ophthalmoscope and Rudolf Virchow was establishing the separate discipline of ophthalmic pathology, two medical schools were established in New York City, the University Medical College as part of the University of New York (1841) and Bellevue Hospital Medical College (1861).
Each school had its own professor of ophthalmology and otology: Dr. Daniel B. St. John Roussa at the University of New York (one of the founders of Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and the founder of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital in 1882) and Dr. Henry D. Noyes at Bellevue Hospital Medical College (author of one of the earliest textbooks on Diseases of the Eye and a founder of the American Ophthalmological Society in 1864 over which he presided from 1878 to 1884). Following Dr. St. John Roussa in 1882 as professor was Dr. Herman Knapp, a student of von Graefe, Donders, and von Helmholz. Considered by many to be the founder of modern American ophthalmology, Dr. Knapp founded the Archives of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology in 1869, was Professor of Ophthalmology in the University of New York from 1882-1888 and held a similar position at the College of Physicians and Surgeons from 1888-1902.
The eye departments were consolidated under the direction of Professor Noyes. Departments of Ophthalmology in the early part of the twentieth century were small, consisting of a professor-chairman who covered all areas of the discipline with equal expertise. The department at NYU was fortunate to have, during these years many of the giants in American ophthalmology:
The development of ophthalmology as a separate specialty in the middle of the century brought with it the notion of subspecialization. Under the guidance of Drs. Daniel B. Kirby, Alson E. Braley (1949-1950) and A. Gerard DeVoe (1950-59) the department had on its staff many of the finest ophthalmologists in New York who were in the forefront of the newest advances of clinical ophthalmology. These included:
The integration of the basic medical sciences with clinical medicine is one of the hallmark features of medicine in the second half of the 20th century. Nowhere was this better realized than at NYU. Assuming the chairmanship in 1959, Dr. Goodwin M. Breinin, assembled a pre-eminent group of research scientists and clinical researchers who continue to enhance the department's reputation.

Combating Facial Volume Loss With Cosmeceuticals
By: Jennifer Linder, MD
Posted: May 1, 2014, from the May 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
The loss of facial volume is a key contributor to an aged facial appearance. Although some of the visible loss of facial volume is due to reduced facial fat and the resorption of bones, you may be able to help clients potentially avoid resorting to a face lift, which simply stretches and removes excess tissue, by implementing topical cosmeceuticals that work to protect existing volume, and replace epidermal and dermal matrix volume that has already been lost. Although minimally invasive injectables are the gold standard once adipose tissue and bone mass have been lost, there are many proven ingredients and product categories that can be added to a client's daily regimen to help preserve, maintain and increase the facial volume of the skin—and your clients' youthful appearance.
The physiology of facial volume loss
The primary cause of visible facial aging of the skin is matrix degradation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex framework of biomolecules that support and protect dermal cells. The ECM is made up of structural proteins (collagen and elastin), adhesive proteins (laminins and fibronectin), glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans. These components are all vitally important for a full, youthful appearance that is free of laxity, wrinkling and poor surface texture. The breakdown of these all-important structures is a result of both intrinsic aging that happens due to time and genetics, and extrinsic aging, which is largely avoidable.
The offending extrinsic factors
Although ECM-breakdown occurs naturally with the passage of time, it is accelerated by external factors, primarily UV exposure. The oxidative stress instigated by UV rays increases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production—the enzymes that breakdown the ECM. These enzymes are increased with as little as 0.1 minimal erythema dose (MED), which is one-tenth of the UV exposure it takes for skin to become red. This demonstrates the critical nature of the daily, year-round use of broad-spectrum sun protection; you don't need to tan to begin the cascade of facial volume loss. (Editor's note: See the article "Sunscreens: What You (and Your Clients) Must Know" in the May 2014 issue.)
Free radical formation is also increased with UV exposure. It is well-documented that UVB rays specifically instigate a cascade that leads to the creation of highly reactive radicals that have unpaired electrons in their outer shell. There are a variety of types of free radicals, yet reactive oxygen species (ROS) are widely studied, due to their proven damaging effects on the skin.
The aged appearance that occurs due to the loss of facial volume is compounded by the atrophy of both the epidermis and the dermis. It has been demonstrated that the drop in estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause slows the production of matrix components. In addition to the degradation of mature collagen already mentioned due to UV exposure, it has also been demonstrated that UV rays compound facial volume loss by inhibiting the expression of the genes responsible for the formation of new collagen—both type I and type II procollagen. This dermal atrophy contributes substantially to visible facial aging.
Ingredients for fighting facial volume loss
The Skin Care Ingredient Handbook is so much more than an ingredient dictionary. You will learn about skin care trends, active versus functional ingredients, OTC drugs, INCI names, antioxidants and DNA and understand how to read labels. Did we mention the newest ingredients are listed?

Is the metal roofing typically a lot more in cost than composite? Every so often I see a metal roof on a smaller house, or farm house, that I know the value of the home is in the 150K range... I love the sound of rain on a metal roof, and I love the look of it too... just wondering on the cost difference between that and comp. shingles?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by LuAnn_in_PA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 12:46
In MY area... 2 to 3 times the cost of regular shingles. |
Ours was about 150% more. Can't remember exactly, but definitely less than twice the cost of a composite roof. We were happily surprised. |
- Posted by houseofsticks (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 22:55
We are getting a metal roof. There are different types. It is more but will not need to be replaced for a substantial amount of time compared to the architectural shingles. We called the metal roof manufacturer direct and got prices and then called for labor from my contractor. On our 2000ish sqft roof (with high rise in part) was a $4,000 difference in product, labor is about the same for either installation. |
I covet a metal roof but our builder said that because of the many angles in our roofline to expect it to cost 2 to 3 times the cost of 30 year dimensional shingles. Of course, if we never have to replace it vs every 10 to 15 with asphalt, we'd still come out ahead. The price of oil is just going to increase over the years which makes asphalt roof replacement more expensive down the road. |

We've been in our house for a year, and we did look into a metal roof. Specifically, the metal roofs with an air gap for added insulation...or so they said. It was an $18,000 upgrade. Being that we are in our late 60s, we decided to just get a good shingle roof. |

Blood Pact: How the mighty have fallen, 2008 in review {WoW}
Jan 7th 2009 2:24AM Thought I'd add one more thing after reading the above.. it's not just power or 'get to figuring out the optimal at 80' ladies and gents, its about having fun at a game too.
I never dug heavily into raids, and when I did I was afflict, never going 'all-in' on one-click destruction. There were enough of those anyways =b
I will say one plus - afflict looks to be competitive, maybe even and then some, and that's what will bring me back when I toy around. But I'm still very disappointed with the failures of Demonology, and some of the 'fire mage' efforts in Destro continue to feel a bit.. odd.
If they finally catch up with Demonology, and some (?) changes are supposed to be coming 3.1+, maybe it'll get more interesting again there.
But I was one choking on the choice of Metamorphisis... so many other cool things to do with minions... oh well =b
Blood Pact: How the mighty have fallen, 2008 in review {WoW}
Jan 7th 2009 2:17AM I'm another who moved on from Warlock - I saw the writing on the wall with Alpha/Beta WotLK chat and I got a Pally going, so much so I was 70 when WotLK hit. Prot Pally is a lot of fun...
So much love was poured into a lot of classes, and Warlock WAS NOT one of them. As a bit of a Demonology fan in the end, can someone tell me how Hunter Pets got amazing love, and we didn't get anything new there, just an odd shake-up? And Core Hounds look more demonic than anything we have?
Otherwise I was more Afflict, I just could never get into Destro and one-click. If I wanted to nuke I'd be a mage, and if I wanted boredom I would have gone Hunter. Problem there is Afflict is still really for the long slow burn, I'm not sure why we couldn't have some shorter but higher-damage DoTs in the mix?
Anyways I visit my first 70 now and then but my 75 Pally and now 60 Warrior [like Prot there too heh] get more play... my 'lock is still 70. At least Blizzard finally gave me a reason to go fetch the Infernal and Doomguard tho eh? Lol =b

I know my Warrior would deal with being a big blueberry at least for the level grind =b lol
* Although different class is interesting (e.g. I would have gone Warlock -> Hunter) that seems a bit extreme. Rather, unlocking class levels would be nice - I have a 73 Horde PvP Pally, how about let me create a 55/60/70 Pally on my Ally PvE?

Come on, really? If BoSanc isn't doing its job in a situation I'm *relying* on SoW/JoW to help me. Maybe it's too much for Ret with its special mana return for itself and raid-wide, but this crushes the Prot Pally IMO. Against even mild mana-drain target(s) this nerf will make it go from dicey to undoable.
* Lazy Pally comment
I'm not sure what's up with my server, but the costs for the Pally mount components (I'm BE on Aegwynn) were astronomical, even with this impending change already announced. My Guild is a bit casual and tough to gather at times to boot, so am I lazy for getting the AV Wolf and gathering/paying the $ for the journeymen riding skill @510g while still low 60s and no Dailies access? I think not.
I consider myself a self-respecting Pally, but I'll also be happy to just buy the darn thing thank-you-very-much.
Hunter changes for patch 3.0.3 {WoW}
Nov 4th 2008 3:46PM I'd so trade in my 'lock for a hunter if I could.
So much more love and attention to the Hunter, I'm more casual (time limited) so I wasnt a 'one-click OP' raider, and I always liked demonology and affliction more.
But frankly with a great elite pet lineup your pets can look more denomic than a 'locks (total jealous on Core Hound) and there is so much done right...
Pity Blizzard can make you feel 'wrong' in your class choice, after you've invested so much friggin time.
Should L70 players be able to start a L55 class of their choice? {WoW}
Oct 20th 2008 2:12PM This it total win. I'd even go further but this isn't bad at all.
I have a 70 warlock on a PvE realm and I've grown tired of the character. I have a 62 Pally on another PvP realm and a different faction and my Main there.
* I'd even argue you shouldn't need a 70, a 55/60 should be a reasonable enough especially if you're starting lower, but regardless I'd sooo get my Pally to 70 to help my PvE gang and I'd love to have a 70 Warlock to add to my pack on the PvP server.
** Why is the only class boosted the DK?? We're going to have way too many of these, and last time I looked people still need healers the most =b **
* Friends and Family is too limited. Only helps brand new accounts work with brand new characters on the referring account. Even if you're quickly going thru old content once again, there's still another repeat trip you don't need or want, and frankly it's off-putting.
* Even if you don't have the target class some kind of boost would be nice e.g. they made BM Hunters soooo much more interesting than demonology Warlocks I'd love to trade mine in =b Do I have the stomach to level one on either/both of my servers?
As far as some comments 'Blizz doesn't want this, people will blow through stuff' - this is SO wrong. I've frozen my account a couple times now... I'd rather have my Warlock on the PvP server for fun, I'd rather have my Paladin on the PvE server for raid fun with my friends, and transfering isn't an option [even if I was ready to pick-up, pay, and leave] as I'm Alliance on one and Horde on the other.
I think this will be the biggest most important move Blizzard makes... I've put out so many alts that have stalled - I just don't have the time - but meanwhile I'm sure I'd find them that much more engaging up the ranks, and in newer/different content. Even if you don't allow early boosts in all classes, certainly classes already hitting 55/60/70+ should free up other server early starts. Transferring doesn't cut it -
- You don't always want to cut out and leave
- You may be on the other faction side
- I'd even say same server should be OK (pvp obviously same side tho) e.g. different racials, a decision made long ago *and* blizzard tweaking them, give players a jump if they want to change that too

The Acro-Wot MkII combines the best in contemporary looks, modern construction and classic sport performance. The lightweight, molded AeroCell foam airframe offers outstanding durability, and carbon fiber-reinforced surfaces provide more rigidity and truer flight. Final assembly is quick and easy with no gluing — only a screwdriver and pliers are needed. Choose from the all-in-one convenience of the RTF version, or fly the Tx-R Prime version with any SLT transmitter or YOUR favorite transmitter and the Tactic AnyLink2.
"All-in-one" convenience!
The included Tactic TTX404 4-Channel 2.4GHz SLT radio system features:
*on elevator, ailerons and rudder
Other RTF features:
Assembled, factory-finished airframe with aluminum gear
Factory-installed servos, 40A ESC and brushless 30-24-920kV outrunner motor
Factory-installed SLT receiver compatible with all SLT transmitters and the Tactic AnyLink2

Why go with a Tx-R? Glad you asked.
Start with speed and ease. Tx-R aircraft help you save time and get you to the flight line faster. They're assembled and finished and all onboard electronics are installed …including an SLT receiver. Take a Tx-R out of the box, and you're practically ready to fly. Now that's fast and easy.
Add flexibility to the mix. With a Tx-R, you don't have to buy a special radio to fly. That's because all Tx-R aircraft come with an SLT receiver. And since they do, you have two very attractive choices.
One, you can fly a Tx-R with a 2.4GHz SLT radio system from Tactic or other manufacturer. Just look for a radio with an "SLT" logo; that tells you they're 100% compatible with the receivers in all Tx-R aircraft.
However, you may already have a favorite transmitter and don't want to give it up. That brings up choice #2: the Tactic AnyLink2. Attach it to your transmitter and it does something amazing: it broadcasts a true 2.4GHz signal that any SLT receiver can pick up. It works with virtually all transmitters, regardless of brand, band or modulation. And It not only costs less than a new radio; it costs less than many receivers.
For ease, economy, choices and more fun, there's nothing like Tx-R.
Tx-R Prime: More options for the more experienced pilot.
Tx-R Prime aircraft are designed for the well-equipped hobbyist who may not need every item included with Tx-R models. While the complete Tx-R packages include a battery pack and basic charger, Tx-R Prime aircraft let you supply those items yourself. You choose which battery to use — and save by using your existing charger, instead of buying a new one.
See the full lineup of Tx-R and Tx-R Prime aircraft at Tx-Ready.com.

Thanks for the interview with Judyth Vary Baker. I wish I didn't live so far away and could attend the Roxie Theater event! People who don't already know very much about the people and events might wish to watch << The Men Who Killed Kennedy "The Love Affair" Complete Episode 8>> at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_qQ0FBocFw It's hard to get the whole picture in a single interview.
Dear JR,
Thank you for covering the ongoing tragedy in Goma! It was "Home run" stuff to notice that the Rwandan backed M23 pulled off yet another massacre while the worlds attention is righteously focused on Gaza. But we need to focus on both.
Yesterday, NPR's Talk of the Nation did a short segment on Goma falling to M23 again, but failed to connect it to the looting of minerals by Rwanda, Uganda and the US.
My response to NPR"
Dear Talk Of The Nation,
Your coverage of the Goma Eastern Congo crisis was more obfuscation of what is really going on there. Your guest from the Persian Gulf listed three things he saw as primary reasons for the instability in the area – none of his reasons were the enormous riches and conflict minerals, such as Coltan. This is a looting taking place using the classic tactic of destabilization by terror groups such as M23. This group is backed by Rwanda who is backed by the US.
You interviewed an NGO person and the guy from the Persian Gulf, but not one Congolese Government Official. One would think that if the discussion were about London or Washington, that you would have interviewed some authority in those cities or national governments. At least bring on a legitimate African Expert from the African Union or the United Nations. Coverage like yours only contributes to a continuation of the misery of the Congolese People.
Snippet from PressTV:
"The M23 rebels defected from the Congolese army in April in protest against alleged mistreatment in the FARDC. They had previously been integrated into the Congolese army under a peace deal signed in 2009.
The mutiny is being led by General Bosco Ntaganda, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on a charge of recruiting child soldiers."
Read the entire article here:
Go to this link to get more serious analysis and audio clip from an African-American persective:
Secondly, You interviewed the President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama. Please ask him why he allowed an Argentinian ship to be seized in the service of Paul Singer the "Vulture Fund" operator. http://mwcnews.net/news/americas/22304-argentine-crew.html
"The Ghanaian judge acted on a claim by NML Capital Limited, which is based in the Cayman Islands.
Its owner, billionaire investor Paul Singer, leads a group demanding payment in full, plus interest, for dollar-based Argentine bonds bought at fire sale prices after the country's economy collapsed a decade ago, forcing a sharp devaluation of its currency."
Paul Singer is linked to Mitt Romney and he's pulled this debt extortion tactic on Congo DRC. Thank you again!

Pew Research Center survey reports, demographic studies and data-driven analysis
More Now See GOP as Very Conservative
An increasing number of voters see the Republican Party as very conservative, while slightly fewer see the Democratic Party as very liberal compared to 2010.
Jobs vs. Deficit — Where the Public Stands
When President Obama goes before a joint session of Congress on Thursday to lay out a plan for spurring jobs creation, one of the political and policy dynamics at work will be the tension that animated the debate in Washington all this year: the push to reduce federal spending and the government's deficit competing against whether some kind of stimulus is needed to deal with a faltering recovery and the stubbornly-high unemployment rate.
Libya: Steady Views, Declining Interest
Despite the apparent success of NATO-supported rebel troops, public views about the decision to conduct air strikes in Libya remain mixed and have changed little since the U.S. and allies launched military operations there in late March.
From Hyperpower to Declining Power
Early in the post-Sept. 11 era, the projection of American military strength led to pervasive fears of an unleashed, and unchecked, hyperpower. More recently, however, the global financial crisis has turned the spotlight to America's declining economic prowess and perceptions of a great power in decline.
Most Plan to Watch Obama Jobs Speech
Nearly six-in-ten Americans (58%) say they plan to watch President Obama's speech Thursday night to a joint session of Congress about his plans to spur job growth and help the struggling national economy.
28% of U.S. Adults Use Mobile and Social Location-Based Services
Just over half of smartphone owners use their phones to get directions or recommendations based on their location; geosocial services and location-tagging features are less popular.
United in Remembrance, Divided over Policies
The public continues to be divided over many of the anti-terrorism policies that arose in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks ten years ago. These differences extend to opinions about whether U.S. wrongdoing prior to 9/11 may have motivated the attacks.
Crime and Drug Cartels Top Concerns in Mexico
Less than half of Mexicans believe that their government is making progress in its campaign against the nation's drug cartels, according to a new survey. But a big majority still supports the government's use of the army to fight drug traffickers.
Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in Alienation or Support for Extremism
While a majority of Muslim Americans say they have endured suspicion and enhanced scrutiny since the 9/11 attacks nearly 10 years ago, a wide-ranging survey finds no indication of increased alienation and anger or rising support for Islamic extremism. On the contrary, majorities of Muslim Americans express concern about the possible rise of Islamic extremism, both here and abroad.
Hispanic Media: Faring Better than the Mainstream Media
Spanish-language media faces challenges — such as an increasingly U.S.-born Latino population — but it still tends to fare better overall than their mainstream English-language counterparts.

Tecplot, Inc., the developer of Tecplot data visualization and technical plotting solutions, announces the release of Tecplot RS (Reservoir Simulation) 2007, an integrated plotting tool designed specifically for oil and gas reservoir modeling. Tecplot RS 2007 offers many new user-requested enhancements, as well as support for VIP(TM) reservoir simulation software from Landmark Graphics Corp. (a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton).
First released in 2003, Tecplot RS is the result of collaboration between Tecplot, Inc. and Chevron. The software was developed specifically to meet the needs of reservoir engineers and allows data from multiple sources to be loaded and displayed in plots ranging from XY graphs to complex 3D renderings. Tecplot RS manages data from multiple reservoir simulation software applications, as well as observed data such as production rates and formation tests.
Tecplot RS 2007 includes numerous user-requested enhancements including new options for viewing cell data in 3D grid plots, such as arbitrary vertical slices. Users create arbitrary vertical slices by clicking on two locations to connect injectors and producers. Other 3D grid views include IJK slice, XYZ slice, IJK blanking, and well blanking.
To create the new functionality in Tecplot RS 2007, Tecplot developers worked closely with existing customers such as International Reservoir Technology Inc. (IRT), Inc. IRT, a petroleum reservoir management consultancy, has used Tecplot for a myriad of projects from simple 10-well fields to multimillion-dollar studies.
"Tecplot's multiple simulator support makes us more efficient in applying the right technical simulation tools to the various projects in our shop and effectively analyzing those runs in a single fully featured, highly flexible post-processing environment," says Joseph A. Dozzo, president of IRT Inc. "We find Tecplot much more cost effective -- for ourselves and our clients -- on projects and in distributing simulation results files for independent QC or analysis than the tools currently available from the major simulation software vendors."
Significant new features of Tecplot RS 2007 include:
-- Translate and Rotate Grid -- Translate and rotate grid and convert to UTM coordinates to align with the real map view. -- Comparison tool enables users to calculate and display the difference between two solutions for the same grid in order to illustrate how various scenarios impact the simulated results. -- Dynamic loading of selected variables enables users to interactively change the working set of variables they are using to create plots, eliminating the need to reload the files. This feature is especially valuable to users working with very large models. -- Input Trajectories for Survey Wells enable users to load files containing the node coordinates that define the trajectory of user- specified survey wells so they can visualize the well in the simulation grid and extract the cells along the well path for further analysis. -- Modify or Create well paths. A tool that enables users to interactively modify the cell indices for the completions of an existing well and observe changes in the display. It also enables users to create a new survey well by entering a set of completion cells that define the well path. -- Paper size and orientation. Allows users to orient the paper in Portrait or Landscape as well as the size and color of the paper. This is very useful when preparing presentation quality plots. -- Color Axes by Variable. The color of the axes in XY plots can now be associated with the color of the line assigned to the variable being plotted, which provides a clear relationship between the line and the axis when multiple axes are used. -- Branch data for multilateral wells. For multilateral wells in Eclipse summary files, users can create branch entities from the supplied data for branch segments, which enables them to plot the combined data for each branch as opposed to viewing each segment separately.
Pricing and Availability: Tecplot RS 2007 is available now. Pricing for an annual network license is $4,000.00. Special consultant and educational pricing is available upon request.
About Tecplot, Inc.: Founded in 1981, privately held Tecplot, Inc. (http://www.tecplot.com) delivers visualization software for engineers and scientists to analyze, discover, and communicate results. In 1988, the Bellevue, WA-based company launched Tecplot, its first software product for the scientific visualization market. Since then, Tecplot, Inc. has been applying and influencing the latest advances in visualization technologies and plotting capabilities. With more than 30,000 users worldwide, Tecplot has become the trusted name in data visualization.

Sorry Sonia, but this product had to be taken to the garbage. The scent was a muddy herbal scent, not enough citrus or ginger as the name suggested. Not a hint of Tuberose either. Not unbearable, but not pleasant either. This set included a 4 oz body lotion and an after bath spray.
The body lotion was thick and did not absorb well into my skin. The bath spray might as well have been water with some ethyl alcohol in it as the fragrance level was very low. When I went to use it, the lotion would not come out of the little square plastic bottle which forced me to remove the lid. The after bath spray leaked all over my clothing while I was trying to spray the contents.
Overall, my experience with this product was fairly negative. Thank goodness it was a post holiday mark down item because it was not worth $9.99 USD. I will not repurchase this scent or product.

Degree benefits
- The programme combines a broad grounding in archaeological method and theory alongside courses that focus on the language, art and archaeology of Egypt.
- The UCL Institute of Archaeology is one of the largest archaeology departments in the world, with an unrivalled range of specialist staff. It hosts numerous lectures by visiting archaeologists.
- The institute is home to one of the best archaeology libraries in the world and has its own teaching collections, including the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
- Students have the opportunity to participate in staff-led research projects in many parts of the world, together with other field projects, thanks to UCL's fieldwork grants.
Most of the degree is structured around a combination of core and optional courses. In your first year, you will receive a solid grounding in both the practical and theoretical methods in archaeology, as well as an introduction to major issues in Egyptian archaeology and writing.
The second and third years provide a more advanced understanding of Egyptian archaeology and allow you to develop your own specialised interests by choosing options in particular subject areas.
In the third year you are given the chance to reflect critically on your fieldwork experience during the degree through a fieldwork portfolio, and write a 10,000-word dissertation on a detailed subject that you will choose with the help of a supervisor.
Your learning
You will be taught using a mixture of lectures, seminars and practical sessions, either field or laboratory-based. Full use is made of our extensive teaching and reference collections and close connections to the national museums and collections of London.
Coursework, typically 1,500-2,500-word essays, is used to assess most courses. Most compulsory courses and some optional courses involve an examination element too. The completion of 70 days' fieldwork is a requirement for all archaeology students.
Degree structure
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual courses, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Courses are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional courses varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Year One
Year Two
Final Year
Further details on department website: Egyptian Archaeology BA
At the end of the programme, you will possess invaluable transferable skills such as working as part of a team, analysing and interpreting complex data, organising your time and resources, and structuring and communicating your ideas verbally and in writing.
The extensive fieldwork component of the programme gives our graduates a real advantage in seeking a career in archaeology. This is evident by the numbers of graduates who gain employment with archaeological field units or pursue a further qualification in a specialised aspect of the discipline.
For others, an archaeology degree offers a strong foundation in law, business, the civil service, accountancy, teaching, film and a wide range of other fields.
First career destinations of recent graduates (2010-2012) of this programme include:
- Full-time student, MA Managing Archaeological Sites at UCL, Institute of Archaeology (2012)

All applicants under consideration are asked to complete a compulsory questionnaire, based on the degree applied for, which is used in conjunction with the UCAS form to assess suitability.
On completion of the questionnaire, unless living overseas, applicants are then invited to attend an applicant Open Day, where they will meet staff and students and will be able to see all of the facilities on site at the Institute of Archaeology and UCL.
Additionally, the open day allows you to learn about our archaeological artefacts, meet specific tutors, tour UCL and the institute, and find out more about the degree programmes, resources and facilities we offer. Alternate arrangements can be made for those living overseas.

Wood - Compound or Mixture
Name: Shaz Status: other Grade: other Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2/14/2005
Is wood a compound or a mixture?
I would call it a mixture, if only because it has water and structured voids (air) and a modest content of biological molecules other than cellulose. If it is sufficiently shredded to pulp, bleached and dried, you might have an almost homogeneous cellulose powder, consisting of only a few slightly differing compounds.
Jim Swenson
Strictly, wood is a mixture, in as much as it is possible to separate it into various components. Having said that, I think that there is too much emphasis placed on "compound" vs. "mixture" classifications, since it is always possible to find systems that are not clearly one or the other.

Marshaling the Resources for a Social Media Engagement Program
May 31, 2011 By Monique Elwell and Steven JacksonWhat sort of resources do you need to run your social media program? The answer greatly depends on your first decision—to hire or outsource. If you chose the former, you will need to hire one or more people to build and manage the social media communities on a daily or even an hourly basis. The size of your department depends on the size of your brand, the level of discussion that is already taking place in the social mediasphere (it's very likely that even if your business is not yet engaged in social media, at least many of your clients and prospects are, and they are already talking about your brand) and your organization's commitment to speaking directly with your target audience.
Like anything else, good social media marketing results stem from a good strategy and planning. The first hire needs to be a social media strategist. This role is less about technology—though some familiarity here is important—and more about the ability to understand how to create emotional engagement in the social space and how people adopt technologies.
The strategist also needs experience in branding, messaging and customer service. What you say and how you say it are just as important as what venues you say it on. The critical part of this role is the ability to nuance or translate communications appropriately into the appropriate social media outlets to create and stimulate conversation, engagement and emotional brand attachment. Some of this may look like traditional marketing, but it's different due to the real-time aspect. This makes it important that the strategist brings experience in creating and managing the communication.
Then you'll also need to hire people to run the sites on a day-to-day basis. Their activities fall largely into these buckets:

In "Building Bridges," a Tapestry of Faith program
Youth hear a Buddhist story about compassion.
Tell or read the story.
Then, ask participants what quality the story exemplifies. Say it is the quality of compassion.
Tell the group "The Banyan Deer" is one of the Jataka tales, which comprise more than 500 short stories. Similar to the parables of Jesus, these stories are said to have been told by the Buddha to illustrate great truths to his listeners. Unlike the parables of Jesus, however, most of the Jataka tales have as protagonist an animal (or, less often, a human) that is a previous incarnation of the Buddha himself.
Invite the youth to briefly share stories of a time in their own life when they witnessed or showed compassion.

Validate your network configuration with IPSLA VO, our built-in traffic simulator
In our last blog, we talked about mediatrace which is one of the medianet media monitoring features. In this blog, let's talk about IPSLA video operations (VO), another media monitoring feature.
IPSLA VO generates realistic synthetic traffic similar with the same characteristics of real media traffic (e.g. burstiness, packet size, packet rate, etc.). Without involving the endpoints, IT operators can generate traffic and observe its impact on the network and other existing applications. This makes IPSLA VO a powerful tool to validate network configurations and capacity:

Revving for the Mobility Race
A few days before Mobile World Congress, the world's elite Formula 1 teams tested their cars and skills at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. F-1 racing is a thrilling blend of courage, precision, technology, and teamwork: the same things service providers use to compete in the race to deploy seamless, profitable mobility services.
This year was my first time at Mobile World Congress, and I got a rush from it as if I were driving an F-1. Cisco CEO John Chambers set the pace for the event, saying, "We are now entering the post-macrocell era, where small cells also will play a critical role in delivering the next generation mobile Internet."
As part of this shift, Cisco extends its M.O.VE reference architecture for service provider mobility with two major announcements at the show. We announced the industry's first standards-based small cell solution, providing coverage and capacity solutions built off Wi-Fi and Femto technologies. Read More »

Customer Collaboration Offers Something for Everyone
Cisco's contact center business is on a roll, as companies of all types and sizes embrace Customer Collaboration at an ever-increasing rate to forge deeper, more proactive relationships with their clients.
Today's press release showcases three such companies-- CareCore National, Skowhegan Savings Bank, and AAA of Western and Central New York--who, although very different, are all transforming and growing their business with Customer Collaboration.
These companies highlight the widespread applicability and benefits of Customer Collaboration, which combines proven, traditional contact center technology with the power of social media, video, web 2.0 agent workspaces, and network-based recording to allow businesses to closely interact with customers in ways that were never before possible.
Each of these companies is different, with its own unique requirements for interacting with customers. But Customer Collaboration from Cisco offers something for all of them—a way for Skowhegan Savings Bank to connect with existing and prospective clients via Cisco SocialMiner and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, a platform including Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise and Cisco MediaSense for CareCore National to deliver a better support experience for its physician clients, and an integration of Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise with workforce and quality management solutions for AAA of Western and Central New York to connect more efficiently with its growing customer base.

Andrew does't sit very well for long, but he sure can get around the room. I walk out of the room for a minute, come back and he is on the other side of the room. Doesn't do me any good to put his play quilt down anymore. They are going to be a year old before we know it!

Kadoka, SD, Mar 15, 2012
-- @@Elsie M. Meeks, South Dakota State Director, USDA Rural Development announced an award of $129,000 and participated in ground breaking ceremonies for the Kadoka Nursing Home Association, Inc. Funds will be used towards the installation of a new fire sprinkler system, a handicap accessible restroom, and sidewalks that meet the American Disabilities Act (ADA). USDA Rural Development provided a Community Facility loan in the amount of $53,500 and a grant of $75,500 to be leveraged with an applicant contribution of $20,000 and a Community Development Block Grant of $145,000; for a total project cost of $294,000. "Upgrades to the facility will bring them into compliance with the ADA. In this case, Federal funding will help provide the residents of the Kadoka Nursing Home with greater safety and security." said Meeks. "This is a great partnership between the Federal and state governments and the local community. President Obama has been a strong advocate to ensure that rural communities in South Dakota and across the nation receive essential funding so that these communities are built to last." There is no fire protection sprinkler system in any portions of the existing building, no public ADA handicap accessible restroom, and sidewalks do not meet ADA handicap requirements. A new fire protection sprinkler system will be installed throughout the facility, the existing public restroom will be remodeled to meet current ADA handicap requirements for access, size, and plumbing fixtures, and approximately 380 linear feet of 4 feet wide sidewalk will be replaced with 5 feet wide sidewalk to meet ADA requirements. Rural Development Community Facility funds are made available for the development of essential community facilities for public use in rural areas and may include hospitals, fire protection, safety, as well as many other community-based initiatives. "We are very excited about this project, it could not have been completed without the support of USDA Rural Development, Community Development Block Grant, City of Kadoka, and the community of Kadoka,"said Ruby Sanftner, Chief Operating Officer USDA Rural Development serves as the lead federal agency for rural development needs by offering financial and technical assistance to individuals, businesses, and communities. USDA Rural Development programs include funding for day care centers, fire trucks and other community facility projects; the purchase, construction or repair of homes; loans and guarantees to rural businesses to save or create jobs and renewable energy; and loans and grants for water and sewer utility projects. USDA Rural Development has eight offices in the state serving South Dakotans living in rural areas and communities. Office locations include a state office in Huron, along with area offices in Aberdeen, Mitchell, Pierre, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Watertown, and Yankton. Further information on this and other programs offered by USDA Rural Development is available by calling (605) 352-1100, by visiting www.rurdev.usda.gov/sd or at any local area office. |

>>> We've Moved - Blippitt is now Viral Video Box <<<
A bride is fuming after semi-nude, wedding-day photographs of her in her underwear popped up on a website.
Sara Bostwick has now filed a lawsuit against her wedding photographer for posting the pictures online. She says the incident has given her post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Bostwick's wedding back in September of 2008 was photographed by Christian Oth Studio photographer Carolyn Monastra. The Long Island bride says she specifically told Monastra not to photograph her putting on her wedding dress.
"Monastra took photographs of plaintiff's person in her underwear and in various stages of undress anyway," the lawsuit reads. The suit has been filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
About two months after the wedding, Bostwick's hubbie found the offending photos on the Christian Oth Studio website.
The studio supposedly agreed to remove the photos, but instead left them in place and now requires a special access code to view them.
A spokesperson from Christian Oth Studio had this to say regarding the lawsuit:
"We are surprised and disappointed to learn that Mrs. Bostwick has filed a lawsuit against us in which she claims that we intentionally violated her privacy. We have never posted any images of Mrs. Bostwick on our public website or in any other public venue. Client images, such as Mrs. Bostwick's, are posted on our proofing website and are always password protected… We believe that the substance of the allegations contained in Mrs. Bostwick's complaint are completely without merit, we emphatically deny those allegations, and we look forward to having this case dismissed."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jeffrey - 44 lbs!!
Facts about Jeffrey - 44 lbs!
- Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jeffrey - 44 lbs!'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Courtesy Listing! Please contact Angel's Heart Dog Rescue at: email@example.com and not the rescue group connected to this page! The best (and preferred) method of contact for quick response is by way of e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please read dog's entire bio before contacting rescue.
Jeffrey is a great dog that is still waiting for his forever home. He is a very loving, extremely affectionate and people-oriented dog; he cannot wait to make new friends. He instantly goes up to everyone in a very friendly way, full of love, kisses and exuberant tail wagging. Jeffrey is about 15 months of age and is a great size; he only weighs 44 lbs. This is good considering some do not want a larger dog. Always a puppy, with a great puppy look to him that has never waned, Jeffrey has been socialized with all kinds of dogs at the rescue. He currently lives very peacefully with two other female pit bulls in the home.
Jeffrey is a well-behaved dog. He is calm and appropriate in the house. He is responsive to me and to my instructions, however, he does best when he knows the rules, expectations and routine before being given too many privileges. One of the most adorable features about Jeffrey is his cute set of ears. They often go in the same direction and they are like radar antennas, shifting around and oh so cute!
The most frustrating thing about Jeffrey is that I cannot seem to get a cute, adorable photo of him. He always has some strange look on his face as soon as I bring the camera out and point it at him. But trust me, Jeffrey is very cute and much cuter in person. What makes him so cute is his adorable personality and loving nature. A plus about Jeffrey is that he takes treats very gently from your hands. He is crate- trained and potty-trained (but potty reinforcement is needed in any new environment) and he has a nice balance or being playful and also chilling out. The home that I am seeking for Jeffrey is a home with a well socialized female dog, his own size or larger, to be his friend and companion. I will consider Jeffrey to be placed as an only dog in the home, if placement as such strikes me as representing a good fit for his adoption.
Jeffrey is neutered, de-wormed, vaccinated including rabies, and micro-chipped. If you are interested in Jeffrey, please contact Angel's Heart Dog Rescue at: email@example.com or: 626-340-9316. E-mail is preferable. If you prefer to phone the rescue, please ensure that you have read the dog's bio and have visited my website at: http://www.angelsheartdogrescue.com and gone to the Adoption Tab to read about the adoption process; thank you!
Other Pets at Canine & Kitty Co-op
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jeffrey - 44 lbs!, a Bellflower American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Bellflower, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Bellflower.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bellflower already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bellflower breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bellflower paves the way for another one to be saved.

Tuli's Double-Ribbed Pro Heel Cups are the most advanced shock absorbing heel cups available today. The primary force of the heel strike is absorbed by the larger and high waffle pattern while the lower and denser waffle pattern absorbs the high pressure and final force spike of heel strike. Perfect for sports activities.
I wear these heel cups in my golf shoes. With my protruding heal bones, this product prevents wearing holes in my socks and golf shoe heels. Highly recommended.
