What can I say, it's Calphalon Bryan from Des Moines, IA– Verified Buyer This is nice cookware. it spreads heat evenly over the surface of what ever pan your using to promote very even cooking results. Nothing sticks with this non-stick coating and I use maybe a half teaspoon of oil at the most, for anything! the 10 year warranty is nice too, but I doubt I'll ever have to use it. Been using Calphalon for a lot of years. |
Excellent! Marta from Florida– Verified Buyer I am really happy with this cookware. It is just what I was expecting and is working out really well for me. Very good quality! I would recommend. |
Pots & pans Barbara from Munson, PA– Verified Buyer I purchased these for my daughter for Christmas 3 years ago. When visiting her, I ask "What happened to her pots and pans?" They were gray and ugly looking. She had placed them in the dishwasher and it ruined them. She didn't know not to put them in the dishwasher....why would she? They were just simply horrible after a couple of washings. Now she needs new ones again. These weren't cheap therefore, they should have stood up to more than a few dishwashing's. I thought I bought her a good set (spare no expensive, ect.). |
Calphalon pot review Caroline from Tacoma, WA– Verified Buyer Excellent, only thing to note - from past experience don't put Calphalon in dishwasher. |
Can't Go Wrong with this Set Aggie Designs from New York– Verified Buyer Fantastic Cookware Set for a Very Affordable Price, 14 pieces, non-stick with glass lids. A very expensive set for half the price! |
Light Eddie from Eustis, FL– Verified Buyer Light and they look great. Can't beat a product that the manufacturer backs it up by a 10 year warranty. I wanted to get something for my wife that lasts and not go through a bunch of different ones. |
Good pan set Jennifer from Park City, UT– Verified Buyer These seem to cook evenly and wash up easily so far. Nice set for the price. |
Kitchen Set Gloria from Miami, FL– Verified Buyer I am very satisfied with the quality. Easy to clean and has several pieces. Great buy. |
Awesome Roger from South Jordan, UT– Verified Buyer The pans are great, price was the best I shopped around. My wife was excited to get them for christmas. Well worth the price! |
Simply Nonstick 14-Piece Cookware Set Amna from UPPER MARLBORO, MD– Verified Buyer I am very happy with these pots and pans. Easy to clean. Quick to warm up. Good purchase. |

Swedish boffins: An ICE AGE is coming, only CO2 can save us.
A group of Swedish scientists at the University of Gothenburg have published a paper in which they argue that spreading peatlands are inexorably driving planet Earth into its next ice age, and the only thing holding back catastrophe is humanity's hotly debated atmospheric carbon emissions.
"We are probably entering a new ice age right now. However, we're not noticing it due to the effects of carbon dioxide," says Professor of Physical Geography Lars Franzén, from the Department of Earth Sciences at Gothenburg uni.
Franzén and his colleagues have examined various scenarios for the peatlands of Sweden, which are a continually expanding "dynamic landscape element". According to the scientists:
Peatlands grow in height and spread across their surroundings by waterlogging woodlands. They are also one of the biggest terrestrial sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Each year, around 20 grams of carbon are absorbed by every square metre of peatland.
The scientists have calculated that the potential is there for Swedish peatlands to triple in extent, enormously increasing their carbon sink effect. By extrapolating to include the rest of the world's high-latitude temperate areas - the parts of the globe where peatland can expand as it does in Sweden - they project the creation of an extremely powerful carbon sink. They theorise that this is the mechanism which tends to force the Earth back into prolonged ice ages after each relatively brief "interglacial" warm period.
"Carbon sequestration in peatland may be one of the main reasons why ice age conditions have occurred time after time," says Franzén.
With no other factors in play, the time is about right for the present interglacial to end and the next ice age to come on. Indeed, Franzén and his crew think it has barely been staved off by human activity:
The researchers believe that the Little Ice Age of the 16th to 18th centuries may have been halted as a result of human activity. Increased felling of woodlands and growing areas of agricultural land, combined with the early stages of industrialisation, resulted in increased emissions of carbon dioxide which probably slowed down, or even reversed, the cooling trend.
Other scientists have attributed the Little Ice Age to a quiet period in the Sun's activity: others say it was purely a local effect in Europe, though that theory has lately been disproved by research in Antarctica.
In any case, the scientists assess that if it weren't for human activity such as carbon emissions, we could expect a new ice era in short order. They write:
Thus, on a global scale, carbon sequestration in peatlands may have had important climate cooling effects towards the ends of previous interglacials ... It cannot be ruled out that similar effects would be seen in a hypothetical Holocene lacking human presence.
It's probably worth noting that the great physicist Freeman Dyson long ago suggested that only relatively small amounts of new peatland would be enough to sequestrate colossal amounts of CO2 from the air. Other scientists have noted in recent times that brief warming spells like that observed at the end of the 20th century appear to have occurred towards the end of previous interglacial periods - just before the glaciers returned.
If Franzén and his team are right, the big chill is now under way, and is only just being held off by increasing human carbon emissions - perhaps explaining why temperatures have been merely flat for the last 15 years or so, rather than descending.

Morgana for laning, Sona for all around. Of course this is just preference. I actually consider Nami to be one of the worst supports, but I haven't practiced a lot with her, so that could be a factor. It also depends on your ADC. If I see Ashe, Janna is who I go. If there's a Mana hungry AD, Hellooo Soraka! Vayne? Yo Taric! If we're vs someone who needs spell shield - Lux or Morgana get my pick. No champion is good at everything. Pick depending on scenario.
Sona and lulu are my favourite
Lulu's my favorite.

Shen support. Soo good if played well.
A WildVi Appears
People always underestimate and forget about Nunu. Personally I would rather lane against a Blitzcrank then a Nunu. He makes it extremely hard to win the lane just by being there, constantly, doing stupid amounts of damage, and being full health all day. Late game I would say Lulu has the most to offer a team, however. If you're heavily fed off assists and can afford to build tanky, Leona and other tanky supports can make an enormous late game impact as well. Fiddlesticks in certain situations is up there as well.
I see so many zyra and lux supports I'm surprised no one listed them. Taric is the champion with the highest win rate of any support but no one listed him either! To be honest it depends on what you need.

Forums >General Running>protecting face in cold weather
Latent Runner
Please, please, please, tell me more about this baklava method of protecting the skin on one's face! Does it involve eating copious quantities of baklava?
Fat old man PRs:
I'm back!
Yes. The idea is to build up a protective layer of fat.
Works for me!
I made a ninja mask from a tech tee shirt. 6 mile run, worked well for first 3, then started to loosen up. Breath ability was good, but still felt good to take it off.
RUN SAFE. Barefoot 1st: 6/9/13. PR: 5k=22:50 10k=47:46 HM 1:51. FM 4:28
November 27th - Newton Thanksgiving Run (MA) 10k
Jan 1 Gordys First Race. 10k. Jan 18 Disneyland Star Wars HM 5:30am
I would run in any kind of weather or this! yum!
ah maybe thats the key, I would vote for having baklava at aid stations then would not have to worry about wearing a balaclava. during weekly runs could just carry baklava in my pocket & if my face got cold would just take the baklave out of my pocket & smear it on my face. of course would have to take off my balaclava to do that.
I could do that!
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject.

Think twice about alternate fuel supplier offers
Recently, I received a letter in the mail from an alternate fuel supplier of natural gas for my residence heating. I think all of your readers should be alerted to the importance of being wary of these promotions and do their homework. The import of the letter was to give me a monthly budget amount (called LOCK 12) so that I would not be surprised by a big bill in the middle of the winter. The letter gave me a number to call, which I did.
It sounded very good, and I initially decided to go with it. I asked the following questions. What if I don't use that much? Do I get a refund? I never got any satisfactory answers. The operator would just talk around the question.
So, I checked my past usage, which any natural-gas customer can do on the Internet. I found that the budget (12-month total amount) from the alternate supplier is 44 percent more than I paid for my total natural gas bill from NICOR the past 12 months. I have concluded, in my case, the answers to the questions should be: Too Bad and NO. They make it sound good. It is not, in my opinion, good for anyone.
So, I have canceled this agreement. I think I'll take my chances with natural gas prices. With NICOR, you will always pay only for what you use. If you use NICOR's budget plan, you will get a refund or credit if you don't use more than is budgeted, or you could get a bigger bill if you use more. I don't think my gas bill this winter will be 44 percent more.
There is more regarding this subject on the CUB (Citizens Utility Board) Web site: www.citizensutilityboard.org/.

I followed "the plan" to achieve the American dream and now I feel like I'm caught in a stagnant nightmare.
My husband now works for the Navy as a civilian and I am a high school teacher. We bought our two-bedroom townhouse nearly at the peak of the housing boom for $196,500. We're underwater on our mortgage with a high interest rate. I'm looking at having to stick with this house for eight, nine, 10 years.
I really would like to have two or three children, but I just don't think it's feasible to have that many children in this house. It's too small to have a family and it's not what I envisioned for myself when I followed the rules.
When my mom was my age, she was already living in a house where she would raise me and my three sisters. She had already achieved her American dream and I'm not able to do that.
All I want is to move forward and build a life like my parents had. Right now -- that is profoundly out of reach.

"You know," says Buchanan, who put his school-board campaign headquarters in Chamberlain Heights, "there are places along Colfax that, if you kind of squint, it's cool. If you squint, there are places that could be Larimer Square. Granted, that takes some special goggles, but the bones are there. Add to that, Colfax is surrounded by our city's greatest density, and the tough part is done; it's just a matter of uncapping that potential. We've seen it work. We're at a tipping point. Absolutely, the time is right."

Sadygov was red carded after upending Semih Senturk inside the box on 52 minutes to give Turkey a penalty.
However, Senturk saw his spot-kick saved by Azerbaijan keeper Farhad Veliyev.
Turkey made the breakthrough on 69 minutes when Altintop volleyed home and Uzulmez made sure of the win with the second goal 15 minutes from time.

Just taking a break between spreadsheets/pr drafts to hit some threads here and on our subreddit. CU is indeed a subscription game and will be launched as a subscription game for our Kickstarter. We will certainly have lifetime tiers for our backers (as I've said before) as well as other subscription pricing perks as well as the fact I've said we won't be pricing this at $14.99 so...

10-15 $ plus a 60$ box fee is very reasonable. If you pay to go to a theme park for a single day you usually pay that much. For only one day of entertainment, rather play a game for a month that you really enjoy for the same price. Then it's even lower the second month and so on, because you've already bought the game. Also, a lot of hobbies are just like this. For instance ski'ing if ypu buy the Skis and equipment, that's your box price. But you still have to pay every time you go to the ski lodge, that's your monthly sub. If you don't pay one day you will not ski there. This is the same for many hobbies, gaming is just a cheaper hobby $10-$15 dollars a month is not a substantial amount of money.
DISAGREE, if the game is good I'll gladly pay 15 or so a month as not to suffer the cheapskates and the cash shops. All FTP does is bring in the fly by night riftraft that will never be able to sustain a game for the long run.
I have established half of you don't know what you are talking about. Paying for a game does not get rid of trolls and immaturity. World of warcraft BIG example. That whole game is made up of trolls (not literally but there are a lot of trolls) RUNESCAPE. Another huge mmorpg filled with trolls. You can't argue that subscriptions are going to get rid of trolls because it does not work that way. It is a game whether they pay for it or not if someone wants to troll they will troll.
It's an RvR focused game, it has to be subscription based and not cash shop or it won't work. Cash shop means no level playing field, and basically makes any attempt at balancing futile (how can you have even a sembalance of balance if the guy who paid $100 has to be able t easily kill a whole bunch of free players) It also doesn't promote longetivity for the game. Free players get bored and give up after realizing they are just fodder for paying players, and the people who pay get bored and quit once the free players leave. Meh, $15/month isn't that big of a deal, getting a balanced game is well worth that cost. |
Originally posted by Destac They are also PvE games that are VERY old. Huge difference. DAOC did not have any real trolls, they used Vnboard forum for that. Heartspark: Animist rr12, bors, Lone Enforcer, Retired Dranzerk: Berzerker (kay) retired |
Originally posted by evil13 Do you not understand, free to play doesn't have to equal "pay to win." There are many games that are free to play that aren't pay to win. league of legends, tera, etc. Doesn't promote longetivity? What data are you drawing this conclusion from? Any thing to back it up? Like SW:TOR? Tera? LOTR:O, TSW, Age of Conan, etc? All those games started with a sub model and have moved to free to play and saw huge increases in their player base. On top of this many of them moved to this model within a year of being out or less, so if a sub provides more "longetitivty" it sure didn't work for them. http://www.gamespot.com/news/tera-crosses-14-million-users-after-free-to-play-switch-6405633 http://www.vg247.com/2013/01/10/the-secret-world-activity-up-400-since-dropping-subscriptions/ The market has changed, compared to the old days when you had like 3-4 mmorpgs on the market, there's so many that are out there now competiting, sub based, free to play, fantasy, sci fi, etc. It' sa much more competitive market then what it used to be. When joe schmoe is looking for a new mmo to get into, a sub requirment can be a negative affect in getting new palyers into the game/trying it. Even the all mightiy WoW has a free to play edition that lets people try the game up to level 20 or so. Though this is all a moot point, as CU is going to be a tiered sub based game, so talking about this doens't really matter much. |
Again, i see no reason why MMO'S should require a monthly fee when almost all the games on the market are B2P since the first age's of gaming, and i highly doubt the server maintenance are that expensive to maintain. My opinion its that some people just get used to the pay to play model and they are just "mind" lazy to think other way. ( didnt meant to offend anybody with the last part)
Subscriptions aren't as evil as people are advocating here. In my days there wasn't a single game that was for free and being required to work 3 hours for a month's play didn't bother me as a student for the sheer amount of joy I got out of DAoC (and AC before that!). However current day subscriptions seem fixed on mirroring blizzard's subscription model (with the evil 1 USD = 1 EUR conversion) instead of being competitive. My guess is that most people that are now 'attacking' the monthly subscription model are the younger ones that are in a better spot than old time mmo-ers are, you have the freedom of choice. If you really think spending a couple of beer's worth per month is a bad investment for a good game....you've pirated too much ;) Go to the cinema for once! :D Hell I'm betting some of you pay a huge subscription just for having TV channels. The point is that as low as 5 bucks a month is still a monthly subscription and might be all that is asked for the lower subscriptions. We don't know what it will be, we however do know that if a company is going to compete, it's not one of the big publishers. We also don't know if we are required to buy a box of 60 USD... A free to play game attracts huge amount of crowds everytime they release something new to the game, take SWTOR, look at GW2. New events --> crowded server, afterwards a huge decline. For a RvR based server this is deadly, especially since you start right away with the PVP action. To avoid this a company would require some sort of investment, in this case a subscription. Server splits/merges/overlfows are deadly for a Realm's community and CU is right to try to protect that. Last but not least, it somewhat discourages realm switching/spying by making new free accounts. TLDR:
What you have to remember is a lot of the people who want to play this game cut there teeth on no cash shop pay per month mmo games and if he went b2p or f2p with cash shop the very people those hard core people who want this game would not play. A nich game like this with a small community needs to be pay per month, you can not guarentee that people will keep buying cosmetics and the small amount of people playing makes that kind of model unsustanable. Purely on a bandwidth used per month + server running costs + admin costs (remember most box sales cover things like licence agreements and developement of the game to launch) so for a niche title like that a pay per month works best as in 1000 people log in and use 1000 peoples worth of bandwith + server time is all covered in the subscription per month. This also allows the accountants to say okay we have 2000 people subscribed that gives us this exact amount per month minus loss which can be divided between costs and future developement. |
Originally posted by Varthander No one is "mind" lazy, we just understand why monthly fees (as opposed to B2P systems) are a good thing for MMOs. Aside from the obvious effects like stopping hackers and gold spammers, which are also hindered by B2P systems, there is one simple truth. MMOs cannot operate solely on the initial B2P income. So what does this mean? It means they have to supplement their income somehow. How do they supplement their income to pay for game maintenence and game expansion? Cash shops, purchaseable content, "buy this key and get special shiny things from your special chest." These things are detrimental to the game and dumb everything down. Rather than focus entirely on improving the actual game and looking for ways to make that base game more appealing to ensure longevity and replayability (more monthly payments), the dev. team will instead be focused on acquiring a steady stream of cash via finding new ways to make players buy more "stuff" in the stuff store. "Buy these new rock-em-sock-em boxing gloves" - "Buy this awesome XP boost" - "Buy this neat new gun that can only be acquired from the store" Any legitimate game improvments and expansions are sidelined as a result, and you end up a stagnant game world without any longevity, based entirely upon cash shop impulse buyers. Just look at the MMO market. You'd be hard pressed to find a single B2P game (or non-monthly fee game) that doesn't have a cash shop. If you do find one without a cash shop, it will have seperate access levels (Basic, Silver, Gold, etc.) based upon whether or not you're a subscriber. This always creates a system where those who pay are more powerful than those who do not, either directly or by them having access to content which allows them to become more powerful. Ex. Champions Online and Star Trek Online (both also have cash shops) tl;dr P2P (monthly) games deliver the same thing to everyone (all access or no access) and have no need for cash shops and divisive subscription "categories." The developers can focus on improving the game itself to ensure income, not finding new ways to create income via new trinkets and assorted content restrictions. |
I prefer B2P over F2P and Sub games. Some companies can have a good balance with these models, such as GW2 and TSW. I don't like tiered subscriptions either. Cash shops can be balanced too, and they don't have to go to the extremes like Lotro and Swtor did. If we take WoW for example, it's a B2P, Sub, F2P ("starter edition"), and cash shop (pets and mounts only). |
I seriously don't understand how this thread is still going strong, despite multiple posts from MJ clearly stating his intentions for Camelot Unchained.. /mind explodes

Federal election 2013: Meet the Leichardt candidates
Who will you vote for and why? The candidates for Leichhardt have been out and about on the campaign trail, but have you been keeping up? If you answered 'no', you're in luck.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
ABC Far North's Mornings presenter Phil Staley has questioned each of the candidates on asylum seekers, development in Cairns, the rising cost of living and the national broadband network; giving them an opportunity to tell voters where they stand.
If you've missed the interviews or want a recap, keep reading or click on the audio clips above.
Take a tour of the electorate of Leichhardt in pictures.
The candidates for Leichhardt are Dale Edwards (Rise Up Australia Party), Warren Entsch (Liberal National Party of Queensland), Bruce Gibson (Palmer United Party), Billy Gordon (Australian Labor Party), Johanna Kloot (The Greens), Frank Miles (Family First) and George Ryan (Palmer United Party).
Asylum seekers
Warren Entsch: Instead of accepting that they've made a mistake, they [the Australian Labor Party] continue to try and put, if you like, bandaids on sinking boats.
I find [Labor's policy] totally unacceptable and the risk to us, particularly in this region, in the Torres Strait and in Cairns in particular ... is way too high to even contemplate it.
Bruce Gibson: We recognise that there are asylum seekers coming to Australia for their wellbeing and to increase their living standards in a safe country like Australia.
But if we were to go to another country, there is a safe passage to that country ... we then apply for immigration.
Billy Gordon: Regardless of where you come from, if you come here without documentation ... you'll be taken to either Nauru or Manus Island for processing, but you won't settle here in Australia.
The Government has been firm on that and the Prime Minister re-iterated that again when he was here in Cairns.
Johanna Kloot: I think our ancestors, our forefathers would be turning in their graves at the attitudes that we have allowed the politicians to ingrain in us.
This argument keeps coming back to stopping the boats. Well the way we stop the boats is to enhance the processing regime and that's what we would set out to do.
Frank Miles: My personal thoughts on [asylum seekers] are that there are ways that people can come into the country legally, it's a longer process ... [but] I think that [should be] the main approach.
George Ryan: My primary position is 'stop the drownings'. With over a thousand people drowned trying to make it to our shores, this is just a tragedy and it's not really acceptable.
Katter's Australian Party strongly feels that increased Naval presence is the only way that we are going to deal with these boats.
The proposed Aquis development for Cairns
Warren Entsch: I welcome the fact that we have got people that are prepared to look at investment of that nature in our region.
At the end of the day, let's find a way that we can support and assist you in getting something here that is appropriate for our area and provides an opportunity for jobs for our kids.
Bruce Gibson: I support economic development, I support tourism. I think that would not only increase job opportunities here in Cairns, and the electorate of Leichardt, but also the offspring's of that would build our economy.
Billy Gordon: It's still early days ... I think there are a whole range of issues that we obviously need to look at; impact on the environment particularly.
But I'm also conscious of the fact that this could be welcomed in terms of the jobs and economic development opportunities and benefits to the region.
Johanna Kloot: Firstly we need to make sure that the environmental impact study is an honest one, [which] does look at all the possible impacts.
Thorough and complete consultation with the residents of Cairns, particularly Yorkey's Knob ... because it will affect everyone in this city in one way or another.
Frank Miles: I think it would be good for the region; a resort of that magnitude.
The important thing will be that the local businesses and the local builders and the local contractors get the work and that it doesn't come from down south.
George Ryan: KAP is all about infrastructure, jobs and economic development. We welcome foreign investment, however we feel that we need to go into this with our eyes wide open.
A project of $4.2 billion is going to irreversibly change the dynamics of the region, and Cairns needs to be heard and needs to be at the negotiating table every step of the way.
Cost of living
Warren Entsch: The first thing we do is get rid of the carbon tax; that is going to make a considerable difference, particularly in relation to electricity which is a major cost.
If we can start reducing compliance costs for small business; the red and green tape that they have to go through, so that these businesses can get up and running in a [shorter] timeframe.
Bruce Gibson: We'd abolish the carbon tax, because the price of electricity has basically gone through the roof.
We've [also] got the price of freight, we've got state governments that still control some of our supermarkets in Aboriginal communities and the price of living in the Torres Strait is absolutely ridiculous.
Billy Gordon: The school kids bonus, the increased child care rebate, we'll replace the carbon tax with an ETS ... saving the average family about $380.
I've been talking to business leaders and people in the community about the need for us to diversify the region's economy ... creating an environment where we can start bringing in new industry and that's [what] I think the Federal Government's national broadband network will actually start to facilitate.
Johanna Kloot: Initially we need our own power supply; the idea of having our power coming from Rockhampton with a 40 per cent line loss by the time it gets to us, is ludicrous.
We're devising a system that short-circuits the chain, so that the food is not going to Brisbane and back to Cairns; the food is distributed locally from [the Tablelands]. Everybody is going to be paying less for food and getting better quality.
Frank Miles: The cost of electricity and water and rates and all the rest of it, like you could buy a car 20 years ago for $30,000 ... now you can buy the same car for the same money ... but our rates were a quarter of what they are now.
Some costs have increased dramatically and other costs haven't; there's got to be a way of actually getting those costs down so that it's more affordable.
George Ryan: The KAP has identified three key issues which increase the cost of living - fuel, electricity and insurance.
KAP already supports a reconstruction bank for the farmers and I think a government-owned insurance company has some merit, and should I be elected I'd like to pursue this a lot further.
National Broadband Network
Warren Entsch: When I look at all the advice that I have today, there is certainly a need for this high-speed broadband ... it is used in universities, some businesses and some schools.
We can provide a service ... that can still give access to the super high speeds if required, but also provide it at ... a slightly lesser speed for the average user at a massively reduced cost, but have enough money left over to continue to upgrade the infrastructure as is required as the technology continues to develop.
Bruce Gibson: No, we shouldn't pay whatever it costs to get the National Broadband Network initiative working, purely because we are paying the same rate as they would pay in a major city.
I think there should be an offset cost developed by government, whether you're living in Cairns or the Torres Strait.
Billy Gordon: It will improve the way we educate our children [and] improve the way we deliver health services, particularly here in remote parts of Leichhardt.
It will change the way we do business, and I think we've only scratched the surface and the potential of what the NBN could mean to shaping a modern Australia.
Johanna Kloot: No-one is going to say "whatever it costs" ... there is no open cheque, there is no unlimited source of money.
But Australia needs to position itself as a country that works on its intelligence as much as its ability to provide food and resources.
Frank Miles: They've got to look at what the latest technology [is] and how they are going to go about it because technology is changing all the time. So that it is not just wasted money, where they are doing something that's not going to do what it should be doing in five years or two years' time.
George Ryan: The electorate of Leichardt is over 148,000 square kilometres; having high speed knowledge injected in to our remote communities has got to be [of] the highest advantage.
The possibility of breaking down the tyranny of distance for healthcare and education must be enormous.

In this speech he was trying to identify with people's ideas of liberty by saying how he wants people to keep their rights, and saying what "other" people would do as tyrants, ie: he's saying he isn't a tyrant and is on your side.

I don't think BO is so stupid
So stupid to openly admit what, I believe, he thinks. He obviously thinks that, what is said there, and ObamaCare is the proof for that. But the clip itself must be taken out of context...

2. i made a vegetarian version - no pork, just the veggies. i did use the milk and only about 1 tbsp of cider vinegar.

Les Misérables
March 6 – 15
Set in early 19th-century France, it is the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and his quest for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for his starving sister's child. Valjean decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of mercy, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police inspector named Javert. Along the way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into a revolutionary period in France, where a group of young idealists make their last stand at a street barricade.

Mechanism breaks
I' had two of these. The plastic mechanism breaks and is not able to be repaired or replaced. Great idea, not very well made. Waste of money.
June 6, 2014
reach out and touch someone
This thing will expand. Maybe I'm missing something, but when you reach for a ball it does not "lock" the ball to where you can lift it out. You have to roll the ball to you which means you can't scoop it out of water. Otherwise, it should pay for itself by retrieving some extra balls for you.
February 11, 2014
reach out and touch someone.
This thing has some length. Maybe I'm missing something but when you reach out and place on top of ball how do you turn it over so it doesn't fall out. Maybe it's defected. Going to exchange today and verifiy. Maybe it's only for draggingjQuery182011168650258332491_1392137192532??? Any clues??

Tin Cup / for those water balls

Fishing from a well
Perfect product for going deep and long. If you can see the ball you can get it.
July 1, 2011

7 Dividend Stocks Hiking Payouts in February
3M (MMM - Get Report) manufactures a slew of industrial and consumer products that range from Scotch Tape and Post-It Notes to industrial adhesives and computer screen security devices. That wide mix of broad appeal office supplies and higher-ticket niche offerings makes 3M more attractive than its average peer in this market.
So does the company's 2.7% dividend payout; on Tuesday, management hiked the company's dividend by 9.62% to 59 cents per share. That's the 54th consecutive year of payout hikes for the Minnesota-based company.
Innovation has been one of the biggest keys to 3M's success. The firm hasn't just managed to develop some of the most successful consumer products out there, it's also managed to reinvent and modify them, squeezing extra life out of offerings that have ample generic competition creeping in. Besides creating new products, international growth stands to provide the most upside potential for 3M. Even though international sales have made up the lion's share of 3M's revenues for a while now, less saturated emerging markets still offer room for 3M to stretch its legs both near and long-term. Despite some recent acquisitions, 3M's balance sheet is in strong shape. The firm has ample liquidity with $4.7 billion in cash and investments, a number that more than offsets 3M's debt load. Income investors looking for consumer exposure could do much worse than 3M. 3M shows up on lists of the 10 Best Dow Dividend Stocks for 2012 and 19 Dividend Opportunity Stocks for 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Poverty in J'lem 370. (photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
The NGO Latet, which combats poverty and food insecurity in Israel, expressed its concern over figures revealed in the National Insurance Institute's Poverty Report that showed the country is lagging behind other OECD nations in this area."The current government and its predecessors have failed in combating poverty and abandoned it. Indeed, despite the fact that more than 1.8 million Israelis and more than 860,000 children live in poverty, there is still no government program designed to address the issue," Eran Weintraub, executive director of Latet, said in a statement.According to the report, which was released last week, 442,200 families in Israel lived below the poverty line in the year 2011, which is equivalent to almost two million people. Out of the two million, 860,900 are children. The numbers remained almost unchanged since 2010.The data also showed that poverty among working families continued to rise in 2011 compared to 2010, despite improvements observed in the job market during the same year.The figures also exposed an increase of almost three percent in poverty among families with two or more earners, who for many years, were considered immune to poverty."This report focuses on the year 2011, but the situation in Israel in 2012 is even worse, since this year was characterized by harsh economic measures, and dramatic increases in the prices of food, electricity, water and other basic needs, along with an additional 1% income tax and an additional 1% VAT," Weintraub added.Prof. Shlomo Mor-Yosef, director of the National Insurance Institute said that the stability of the poverty line observed between 2010 and 2011 is "not an achievement.""Israel should aspire to a significant improvement in poverty and inequality in order to get closer to the average of the OECD countries. To do this, it must use all policy instruments: investment in education, training on the job market, encouraging people to work, creating good working conditions as well as adequate wages," he added.

Introduction to Family Medicine
In many parts of the world, this case scenario is repeated daily, however in over 51 countries there has been developed a specialist called the family doctor 1 who can help patients with a different approach to medical care. The family doctor is a "physician who is a specialist trained to provide health care services for all individuals regardless of age, sex or type of health problem; provides primary and continuing care for entire families within their communities; address physical, psychological and social problems; coordinates comprehensive health care services with other specialists as needed." 2
The family doctor has a very unique set of attributes that differentiate him from other specialist physicians. It is these attributes that lay the foundation for the function of the family doctor in his role as a primary health care physician in any health care delivery model.
First the family doctor is a generalist. He must be able to address all of the health problems that present to him from the entire population he serves. He must be able to render care to all patients no matter their age, sex, social class, religion or their health problem. The family doctor must be able to provide continuous and comprehensive medical care. The patient and her physician must be able to develop a long-standing and personal relationship. This relationship must allow the patient to obtain his care in a longitudinal fashion over time and not limit this interaction to just a brief illness.
The specialty of Family Medicine goes far beyond simply providing curative care it offers its patients a more comprehensive approach to medical care. The family physician also provides his patients with a full breadth of knowledge that includes health promotion, disease prevention, psychological support, and social support. This physician also assists his patients in coordinating their care. He can be the first contact physician, but when necessary he can make the appropriate referral to a needed specialist. He can then advise his patient about the advice given by the specialist.
The family physician is by definition family-oriented. He knows the individuals through their context in their families. Since he takes care of these patients over time, he also learns about their relationships within the community, their work and their friendships. Finally, the family physician is always concerned about his community. The patients' health and medical problems is looked at through the contest of the community and how he lives there. The family doctor needs to be aware of the health needs of the people living in the community. He should strive to improve the health of the community working with all health agencies and community groups.
So the family doctor then is a physician who is an effective clinician. This doctor enjoys and supports his relationship with his patients over time. The family physician is based in the community and works collaboratively with the resources of the local community and the greater medical community to render health care to the defined population.
From 1995 until 2000, the Ministry of Health, Vietnam underwent a very careful analysis of its primary care education and delivery system. It decided to base it health care system on a specialty trained primary care doctor and chose Family Medicine as the specialty for this new kind of general doctor.
In 2001, the Ministry of Health, Vietnam created the new specialty of Family Medicine. In doing so it authorized the establishment of First Degree Specialty training programs for this new field. The development of Family Medicine in Vietnam began with the implementation of the Vietnam Family Medicine Project. This was a six year collaborative project with the Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine, USA and newly created academic Family Medicine Centers within each of three academic stakeholders, the Hanoi Medical University, the Ho Chi Minh University of Medicine and Pharmacology (HCMCUMP) and the Thai Nguyen Medical College. 14
The UMP set a goal to be the first school of medicine to receive permission from the MOH to train First Degree Specialists in Family Medicine. The process was difficult and several steps were needed to achieve this goal. These included 1) Setting a University agenda for the new specialty training development , 2) Maneuvering the agenda through the political process of the University, 3) Creating a new infrastructure within the university, 5) Developing a new curriculum acceptable to the University and the MOH, 6) Recruiting trainees through the national postgraduate entrance examination process, and 7) Training program implementation.
The leadership of the Family Medicine Center of the UMP was successful in its organization and development of the new training program. It worked diligently on designing the outcomes of the First Degree Specialty training in Family Medicine. These included:
1-Care and strengthen both comprehensively, and continuously the health for individuals, members of families, not differentiated by age and gender.
2- Manage effectively the common health problems across the human life cycle and the family life cycle.
3- Provide health education counseling for individuals and families, to promote motivation towards health improvement.
4- Provide preventive health screen for the detection of the diseases in the early stage.
5- Coordinate western modern medicine and Traditional Medicine in managing health problems.
6- Develop sound relationships with patients, members of their families and the community.
7- Encourage other resources from within a Family and community to care for and promote the health for all.
8- Be a self-learner, recognizing personal educational needs, selecting appropriate learning resources, and evaluating one's progress.
The training program was then designed to achieve these outcomes and was successfully implemented in June of 2002. The curriculum developed at the UMP, was then adopted as the national Family Medicine curriculum. The other two academic partners in the Vietnam Family Medicine Development Project implemented their training programs later in that same year. Since 2002, the HCMC Family Medicine Center has graduated 45 physicians as Family Medicine First Degree Specialists. In addition, there have been nine faculty trained in Family Medicine faculty development in the US for short courses, and there have been two trained at the University of the Philippines, Manila in the Masters in Family Medicine. The Family Medicine Center has a strong core of trainers both within the Center and in the many specialty areas where the CK-1 students train.
Study material has been difficult to access for faculty and trainees. There has been a need for a reference for learners consistent with the curriculum in Vietnam. Translations of textbooks from the US have been completed, but they of course have not been entirely relevant to the Vietnamese medial situation. Here for the first time in Vietnam is a textbook, written by the medical educators who have been teaching this new specialty. They have gained the knowledge over the past eight years about this new discipline; they have acquired the skills to teach it and the attitudes inherent in the use of the biopsychosocial model of Family Medicine. This textbook, which has been lacking up until this time in Family Medicine education is now present and will have a major impact on the future generation of specialty trained family doctors in Vietnam.
