Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process
There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you when someone posts to a thread you started:
Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page) If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message. Note: Some members have said they still have problems getting emails. I seem to always get emails, but I have noticed that occasionally there will be a several hour delay and once there was a several day delay...I don't know why. Also, check your Junk Mail, sometimes the emails end up there. Add "email@example.com" to your "safe senders" list as well. If you still don't get emails, check with your internet service provider and be sure emails from GW are not being filtered out as junk before they get to you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
[Please, do not bump this thread!] |
Recently, GW added the ability to "follow" a thread that you did not start. To "follow" a thread, simply post to the thread and check the box that says: "Check here if you would like post replies emailed to you." However, please be sure you have preformed the first two steps in the first post of this thread. |
This caught my eye since once again, email have stopped coming. I'm not new to this; I don't change my (correct) settings. Sometimes it comes for awhile, then it stops. Then it starts. Currently it's stopped. |

Dan Wilson's Commonwealth Games Preparation
Written by Dan Wilson, Australian Representative in Triathlon and Team Brooks Member
Well, I'm currently airborne on board a Lufthansa plane somewhere between Hamburg and Frankfurt, as we leapfrog our way from Hamburg, via Frankfurt, to Geneva, then back to 'home' in Aix Les Bains in France. We did have a more streamlined (metaphorically, not aerodynamically, I'm sure this planes airfoils are sound. Or possibly not, thinking back to the rather labored take off…) flight initially booked, but failure to receive convincing confirmation that our bikes would be welcome onboard led to some frantic 5am rebooking by Mossy on a different airline. This proved to be a shrewd decision, as the Kiwi team who booked on the same airline were greeted with blank faces and a staunch refusal to accept the team's bikes on their flight, and thus their coaches took a bullet for the team and drove their bikes in a 12 hour meandering route across Europe to arrive in Hamburg. A drive, if the Kiwi's account is anything to go by, featuring a vice-like grip on the steering wheel, wide eyed stares into the distance, and repeated muttering littered with imaginatively descriptive adjectives used to describe the airline in question.
The reason for this ANZAC-based rendezvous in Hamburg was for another leg of the World Triathlon Series, and importantly for those Glasgow-bound, a last hit out before the Commonwealth Games. The 5 week block leading up to Hamburg had us working harder than priest on a sinking ship – it was a solid block of hard work, only pausing to do some tough work, then having a break to do some intense work, followed by some difficult work, and then back to the staple of hard work. Having indulged in a metaphorical buffet of various forms of work, we had a few easier days leading into Hamburg, in which my body decided to undergo some furious adaptation, consequently making me feel as lively as a corpse with a mustache, and had me in the room of mirrors having a good hard look at myself and wondering what the blazers was going on and how the blazers was I supposed to race the quickest race of the year tomorrow. The blazers were either deaf to my questions, or decided their answers were not ones suitable for my ears; however, I got around alright for a 27th in a race that was quicker than a cheetah driving a Ferrari. I felt reasonably strong all round, but not too much spark, which is a pretty good place to be in 2 weeks out from Commonwealth Games.
I was lucky enough to be picked for the team relay on Sunday, and after a fantastic job by the rest of the Aus team, I led off the anchor leg of the relay at the head of a group of 5. In hindsight, it was a pretty tough ask to battle with Brownlee and Luis (who were 1st and 2nd the day before) as well as a Hungarian athlete who was brought in especially for the relay and had not raced the day before, but I was a little disappointed to finish 4th and not win a medal with the Aussie team. Again in hindsight, it turns out the best decisions to make would have probably to be a little less aggressive on the bike, I put in a big effort to bridge to a Brownlee attack, which left me open to a counter attack from Luis, who ended up bridging and leaving me behind with the Hungarian. It's hard to be a passive in a race like that, but it turns out that would have been the best option.
Anyway, I've swallowed that pill, and if I'm included in the relay for Glasgow, will be eager to execute with more sangfroid efficiency! So, from now, we don't have too much hard work left to do, with two massive hits of intensity this weekend that left lactate in places I didn't know I had places, we can rest and sharpen up over the next 10 days before Glasgow. Myself and Jacko will be in Aix, and will spend the next week recovering from the races, the last training block, as well as our time in the altitude tent, and hope to improve a bit more before we leave next Sunday for the Athlete Village. It's an exciting time, just crossing the i's and dotting the t's (or possibly the other way around, but I'm sure no-one actually noticed that before I pointed it out…) in the final preparation for the race, and it's a race and experience I'm really looking forward to! I'll bring you another update from the Games Village with a few pre-race thoughts!
Until then, take care friends,

Ryan Sissons' Countdown to the Commonwealth Games
By Ryan Sissons, NZ Triathlete and Member of Team Brooks
It is now 16 days until I compete at my very first Commonwealth Games in Glasgow as part of the New Zealand Triathlon Team. It's fair to say most of the hard work has already been done, and it's now time to settle down, recover and fine tune until race day on the 24th July. For the last 7 days I have been based in Loughborough in the UK, a little town with some great training facilities and surroundings and a place quite similar in weather conditions to Glasgow. I will be based here until 4 days before my race in which the NZ team will head to Glasgow.
What do I do between now and then?
This weekend I will race another round of the World Triathlon Series Hamburg in Germany as a good hit out race 10 days out of the Commonwealth Games. It's a stellar field assembling so a perfect opportunity to test my form and a final race situation hit out before the big show. Post Hamburg I will travel back to the UK and recover and rest as best and as fast as I can before the final push in training. There is only a 10 days window of training post Hamburg so the training I will do will be very precise and specific. For the last few months I have been doing some pretty solid training, with between 25-30 hours a week of training, however as it draws closer to races and especially the Commonwealth Games this is cut down to between 15-20 hours in order to let the body rest and recover.
That's about all for now. I am extremely excited to compete for my country at the games but for now it's only right to put the head back down and get the preparation as best I can.
Check out the Brooks Racer ST that Ryan Sissons will be using on his road to Commonwealth Games glory in Glasgow.

Are you new to running?
Author: Leigh Fisher from Running Fit Coaching
We know it's not easy to lace up your runners and decide to head out the door for your first run. But that is the hardest part of the journey! Once you commit to getting out the door, only then can you look to realize your running potential. Running is one of life's great liberties and if you are new to running then your world is about to open up.
This helps you stay focussed and on track with your training. It should be specific, realistic, and measurable. i.e. "I would like to run for 20 minutes continuously within 2 months".
Running is high impact. It is best to start with a run/walk progression. Each week should build up your running distance 10-15%. If you start off too quickly, the body can develop niggles/injuries.
The body requires ongoing maintenance in the form of stretching, massage and good nutrition. Stretching should be dynamic before a run and static after a run. Massage can be in the form of a sports masseur or self massage with a foam roller, tennis ball.
For those new to running there is a lot of 'Running Jargon' that can be quite confusing, terms such as fartlek, intervals, lactic acid, cadence and VO2Max are just a few. Knowing how often, how far and how hard you should run are also important factors. For a great introduction to running you can join a free seminar in Melbourne on Feb 27th with experienced coach Melissa Vandewater from Running Fit Coaching. http://ow.ly/tJ5AW

Cross Training and how it can benefit your running.
Author: Clyde Rosanowski, Triathlon Australia – Development Coach (Level 1) and member of the BRAT Triathlon Club
Quite simply our running performances are a direct result of a few main factors which make up our overall performance; Vo2Max (size of our engine), running efficiency (economy/biomechanics). One of the key limiters to us developing the first factor (Vo2max) is injury. Put simply not all of us are blessed with the biomechanics of an Olympic Marathon runner and can't sustain massive running volumes. We know that we need to progressively build up our overall aerobic endurance but don't want to push too far with our r8unning and get injured.
Cross training can be the answer. What exactly is cross training then? Cross training is participating in another sporting activity to compliment your primary sport, in this case your running. So, what can we do? Swimming, Cycling and Gym work are the obvious choices.
I'll start with swimming. A lot of us runners swim like stones which makes a few lengths even more of an aerobic challenge. Once you have mastered a continuous swim of say 1km in the pool it is time to have some fun and do things that are just plain hard when running. By this I mean, high intensity reps with minimal recovery time. As swimming is zero impact you can manage more high intensity, more often and with shorter recovery. A session like 300m warm up, 5 x 100m at max pace with 30 sec recovery and 300m warm down will get the blood pumping but not leave you wrecked for days like a running track session may.
Cycling has fantastic aerobic benefits and a lot less impact that running. You can also get to new places that you may never running or even in the car! Remember to be road aware and obey all road rules as unlike when you are running you are treated as a car when on your bike. Spinning which means high revolution pedalling is a great way to pump the blood through your legs and is awesome for recovery. A 90 min flat ish ride a few times a week will do wonders for your running. Be careful not to go out and do 7 hour rides if running is your primary goal as this will promote weight gain in your legs.
Strength training in the gym should be the runner's best friend. Old fashioned core work will keep you in alignment when running and improve your biomechanics in each step. Pilates and Yoga are also awesome supplements to your running program and promote strength and flexibility which are both critical to running fast and injury free.
When I began thinking about what I was going to write in this post I began to think about the sheer volume of people that started by adding a little cross training to their run program and then became Triathletes. So, be careful or you may love the variety so much you change sports!

Get back into Running!
Tips from Melissa Vandewater, Run Coach for Running Fit Coaching.
You've decided this Spring to get fit with some running. What's next?
The best way to start running or return after a break is by:
- A graduated run walk program. This might take the form of 30 secs running/1 min walking repeated 6-8 times. Commence with a 5-10min walk. The time running can be increased gradually or started at 3-5mins on, if you have previously built up your running.
- Write down the days you can run and put this in a spot where you can see it. You are more likely to stick to plan when it is written down.
- Ask a friend/s to join you. It goes quicker when you have company and accountability to each other. Or better still, join a group with coaching. Be sure to check that they cater for your level of running.
- Whilst running: Focus on being tall, relaxed shoulders and breathing deeply to open up chest/stomach.
- Wear comfortable, breathable clothing. Cotton tends to soak up sweat, rather than taking away from the body.
- Running shoes are important! Invest in a pair of good running shoes, not cross trainers or old pair from 3 years ago! Poor footwear can certainly contribute to niggles/injuries.
- Keep strong: cross training and strength/pilates/yoga are all good to complement you running this Spring/Summer.

New Season Anxiety
Words by Leon Griffin – Team Brooks Athlete
Wow – where did the winter months go! If you're anything like me, your last race of the previous summer feels like it was just yesterday, and a new season already dawns upon us.
Those feelings of pre-race anxiety are starting to creep in, and you start to wonder if that goal you set at the start of the offseason – to become a much more competent swimmer, to race some bike crits to improve your bike skills, or complete a few more brick sessions so you don't run out of gas and walk the second half of those runs – was realistic.
OR you're simply working up the courage to tackle your first triathlon. Whichever it is, don't despair, you're not alone. Those rollercoaster ridin' butterflies in the pit of your stomach when your thoughts turn to the fast approaching season kickoff are about as common and guaranteed as a Bart Cummings appearance at the Spring Racing Carnival.
Hopefully I can give you a few pointers below to help you become the master of your own anxiety!
All about You
Make sure you're taking on the challenge of racing your first tri, improving one of the three legs, improving on all legs, setting a PB or winning your age group or the whole kit and caboodle for yourself, no one else. That can be the easiest way to eliminate some of that external stress that's waking you up at 2:30 in the morning…worried you're not going to live up to the expectations of your partner, friends, competitors or even your cat. If you're not in it for you and your own reasons, then get out of it before you even start!
Make a list
It sounds boring and you've probably heard it a million times before, but the easiest way to minimise pre-race anxiety is to make a list at least 1-2 weeks before the first race and split it into two parts; 1) things that need to be organised plenty of time before the race; and 2) things to sort the day or two leading in and night before.
Things to include on the first list include at least one brick session (bike ride with a run off) so to get the familiarity of the 'jelly legs' transition back, a test run in the wetsuit if you haven't thrown it on since last summer or have a new one, or maybe never even used one, a bike service or some new tires, a gentle run in the race shoes, a massage, a new haircut, etc. Basically anything that you don't want to be stressed about the day or so before the race.
The second list may just include everything you need to pack to take to the race to use like goggles, wetsuit, bike and helmet, shoes, plus other little bits and pieces like your pump, pair of thongs for your blistering feet (not needed if you wear Brooks!), a clean t-shirt so you don't have bad B.O when you stop at the shop for a pie and coke on the way home, definitely some baggy shorts so you don't go into that shop to get the pie and coke in your tight and smuggling race shorts, sunscreen lotion, etc.
Race Plan
Whatever you do, don't think you can just wing-it! Think about each leg and how you're going to approach it. By that I don't mean being so specific that if it doesn't happen then you need to throw in the towel, but think about where you'll position yourself at the swim start (weaker or less confident swimmers start on the side or to the back of your wave), start pulling the wetsuit off running to your bike or wait till you get to your transition spot, bike shoes clipped into your pedals or put them on in transition and run out with them on, start fast or start slow, socks or not for the run, hat, sunglasses?…so many decisions!!!
Triathlons definitely have a lot more involved to think about than that 5k fun run, however don't let it overwhelm you. Just break it down and visualise beforehand how you want to attack each of the 3 components that make up the triathlon. Stick to it as best as you can, but be flexible enough to allow for anything and everything to pop up during the course of the race because it something generally does. That way I guarantee you'll reduce the anxiety within you and get your season off to a great start!

The NEW Trance 12
Author: Stuart Simpson, Brooks Tech Guru
The Trance 12 has hit stores and just quietly, we're pretty excited. The Trance 12 takes off from where the Trance 11 left off by maintaining the balance between a plush
ride but a supportive ride. Full length DNA and Stacked MOGO look after the cushioning and the Progressive Diagonal Roll Bar (PDRB) takes care of the support!
We have increased the lateral ground contact in the shoe by continuing the midsole through that lateral aspect of the shoe. This allows for a balanced ride through the mid-foot, consistent landing zone for every foot fall and helps deliver an amazingly plush and responsive ride from heel to toe!

Spring Health Series Part 2
Guest Author: Travis Ronaldson (Strength & Conditioning Coach)
In part 1 of our Spring Health series we looked at how we can identify our goals and put timelines and measures in place to ensure we have direction and are always on the path to achieving them. So now that we have developed some health goals, it is time to get the nutrition part of our plan right. Now I think I can cover almost everyone's goals by saying that they probably include wanting to lose some weight by getting rid of excess fat tissue and getting more defined. Rather than eating purely for weight loss or body composition goals however, I want to focus on eating for health. Just as with our goal setting we aimed to set goals for our fitness rather than purely just weight loss, we want our nutrition plan to improve our health, rather than just help us lose weight. This is because eating for health is something that will leave you feeling better, fitter and being healthier, which will help your body composition goals take care of themselves.
So while restricting some of the unhealthy foods you currently may consume is important, let's also focus on the foods you should be eating more of.
Step 1. Clean out the fridge and cupboard of all of your high sugar and fat products. See it as a spring clean. This means getting rid of frozen desserts, stashes of chocolate and food that is counterproductive to your goals. If you have these foods around you, at some stage you are likely to be tired or stressed or fatigued and may, despite your best intentions, end up consuming them anyway. If you feel bad about throwing them out, give them away or donate them to charity, or even invite some friends or family over for dinner and try to get rid of them then.
Step 2. Get a water bottle. When you are hydrated you function better physically, mentally and emotionally. It will also serve as an appetite suppressant. When you feel better you are less likely to make bad eating decisions based on emotion. Research has indicated that the majority of people are dehydrated at any given time. Don't rob yourself of the health benefits of being hydrated, which include feeling more energetic. Keep your drink bottle with you all day and try to consume a decent amount such as 500ml early in the day to help you stay hydrated all day. The best part? Tap water is cheap and easily accessible.
Step 3. Be organised. You need to have a plan of what you are going to eat and when. Don't get to three o'clock, realise you are hungry and go to the vending machine. Pack some snacks. Most people intend to eat well, but end up being too busy to make something and buy an unhealthy treat. Get some Tupperware and after cooking a healthy dinner, pop the leftovers in and freeze it or take it to work for lunch. When you do have some time, such as on a Sunday, feel free to cook up a big healthy meal and divide it up into smaller portions for consumption during the week. It may sound like a lot of work, but it will save you money, make you healthier and stop you making bad eating decisions based on convenience alone. Also keep some snacks handy. A handful of nuts and seeds in your bag make a nice healthy, filling snack when you are on the move.
Step 4. Be wary of sugar, especially in drinks. A couple of pieces of fruit a day will be all of the sugar your body requires and more. It is very easy to drink your calories, with calorie dense drinks such as soft drink, energy drinks and flavoured milks. Try to stick to water, with the odd tea and coffee during the day.
Step 5. Eat more veggies and salads. This goes without saying. Be adventurous and try some different vegetables and salad ingredients and combinations for variety. On the move? Quick heat up and frozen vegetables can make a quick and healthy meal. Use your vegetables and salads to help you fill up and get all of the vitamins and nutrients you need to feel great.
Step 6. Use cuts of lean meat and eat more fish. Dust off the grill and prepare those lean cuts of lamb and beef, chicken, kangaroo, turkey and pork. Be sure to include lots of fish in your food intake too, with salmon a great option that is high in protein and fatty acids essential for body function. Protein should always form the basis of your meals, with eggs, lentils and nuts also great sources of lean protein. This will assist with muscle growth and repair and also help you feel fuller for longer.
Step 7. If you don't think you can cut out your vices cold turkey, or are worried if you do it could end in a three day sugar and saturated fat bender in a couple of weeks' time, cut down slowly. It may be just cutting down from one can of soft drink a day to one can every second day, or takeaway three nights a week to takeaway only one. Slowly cut down even further as you go, and you will find that the less you consume sugar and fat, the less you will crave it.
Remember that you will be rewarded for eating well. Feeling great, being healthier and looking good are all great by-products of eating healthy, it doesn't have to be a chore or feel like punishment. If you do fall off the wagon, try and get straight back on and make sure your next meal is healthy, don't make the mistake of saying that you have started the day unhealthy and you may as well continue that way. Healthy eating is the key to building the body you want. Next step is exercise. Stay tuned for part three when we will cover how to design and implement an exercise program to reach your goals.

Spring Health Series – Part 1
Guest Author: Travis Ronaldson (Strength & Conditioning Coach)
Spring is upon us and the warmer weather is just around the corner. This means that a lot of people will emerge from their winter exercise hibernation and comfort food and start thinking about focusing on their health again. While gaining a couple of kilograms over winter is nothing unusual, being able to shed them again can be a real challenge. But if you don't, and you gain a couple every winter, you can see how your weight can creep up quite dramatically in only a couple of years. So in a three part series we are going to touch on all of the things that you should be doing to get your health back on track. In this first part of the series we are going to look at all of the little things you need to be doing which will make exercising and eating healthy easier. In part two we will look at some basic nutrition plans and in part three we will look at formulating an exercise program to improve your fitness.
So to start with we need to identify some goals. Not just big goals, but also smaller goals along the way. There is no point saying you want to lose 6kg by Christmas, and then wait until Christmas day to jump on the scales. So what we need to do is identify what our big goals are, and then break them into smaller monthly and even weekly goals to ensure you remain on track, and are making achievements along the way. Let's say you had a goal for significant weight loss by Christmas, and then you broke that up into smaller weight loss targets by the start of October, November and December respectively. This is step one: identify goals, and then attach a timeline to them, breaking them up into smaller goals.
Having weight loss as a goal may sound quite simple, but as you eat healthy and exercise changes occur within your body that may see you lose quite a lot of fat, but also gain a little bit of muscle, meaning that your weight won't change a great deal on the scales, but you will be substantially healthier. With this in mind it is a good idea to set a body composition goal such as body fat percentage, and also some fitness goals, such as running 3km in under 18 minutes, or performing 20 push ups, or a 2 minute plank. Having some fitness goals will give you something to strive for, and as you work to achieve your fitness goals your body composition goals and weight loss will take care of itself. Step two: set not only body composition and weight loss goals, but also fitness goals. Maybe a cardio goal (such as running, cycling, rowing), a strength goal (25 push ups, squatting 60kg for 10 reps with perfect form) and a core strength goal (plank for time). Working towards something such as a fun run or exercise event is also great. Read more

When you get farther into the game people will tell you this game has a laning and a ganking phase. The Laning phase is roughly (but not always) the first half of the game. It is a time when the players separate into different lanes and kill minions for money. The Ganking phase is when people leave the lanes they are in and gather up to do things as a team. Ganking phase may also be called Pushing phase or just Teaming phase. It represents a time when people can't be by themselves anymore and they have to stay in a group because the enemy is in a group as well. It is a concept that can be misleading because not all games will occur in the same way. Strategies and phases may change based on the champions that are in play. Before I explain why I have to explain some other basic things to keep in mind. For Summoner's Rift, the lane composition during the lane phase usually consists of 2 champions in both top and bottom lanes and 1 champion in the middle lane per team. On average the lane phase will last for about 5-20 minutes depending on many factors that I will discuss in a little bit. For Twisted Treeline, the lane composition usually consists of 2 champions on bottom lane and 1 champion on top lane but the gank phase seems to be during most of the match and the lane phase only occurs in bursts when the fighting is quiet. Why phases can be misleading. There are certain times when ganks will occur near the beginning of the match. Usually this will happen before all the champions settle into their lanes for the laning phase so be careful near the start of matches. You can also anticipate a gank if you notice (always watch the mini map) that there are missing champions. Always be wary of brush if champions are missing. This will save you from walking into death traps.

Tip: If kassadin is missing, he is 90% coming to gank you and 10% getting the golem buff so he can stack 8 rifts to gank you faster.
I would just like to add that if you're vsing a Twisted Fate who is past level 6, do NOT over extend. A good Twisted will be watching for an easy gank like that. Shen is a similar deal, especially if your enemy has a good stun or slow to keep you in range for his taunt. Also, want to say that new Heimer is far less dependent on sitting in a lane. Still can be done, but he should move around more and be a kind of mobile 1 turret dropping machine with grenades.
You should bold certain parts of this. Always watch the minimap. New players - You will NEVER get better unless you learn this, it's called "map-awareness". You need to know what is happening all the time, or you WILL die.
How do i gank?

There was some good news during Wednesday's optional Leafs practice at MasterCard Centre as James Reimer and Joffrey Lupul both skated with their teammates.
It was Reimer's first time on the ice since suffering his knee injury last Monday against Philadelphia.
Leafs TV was there and we have some video of Reimer doing some work with goalie coach Rick St. Croix.
Lupul continues to recover from his broken arm and he no longer is wearing a cast but he is still unsure of a return to the lineup. Check out the video of Lupul going through some skating drills.
Two Leafs spoke with the media on Wednesday and you can check out the video below:

Row Over Stilton Could Cause A Stink
By editor
Originally published on Fri October 25, 2013 6:43 am
The British government has told a pub in the village of Stilton that it can't call its cheese Stilton. The name is protected by a law that says true Stilton cheese can come from three specific regions — not Cambridgeshire, where Stilton is located. The pub's landlord is weighing his legal options.

Quebecor World Plants Continue Realignment
April 2000Some of those employees have worked at the plant since the 1960s, when it was owned by Webb Publishing, publisher of Family Handyman and several other magazines. The magazines were all sold off after British media tycoon Robert Maxwell bought Webb in 1986. Quebecor took over in 1989, and undertook a $10 million expansion in 1998 after it landed a large contract.
The good news for workers at the plant is that the Twin Cities printing industry is extensive, and the job market there is tight—the unemployment rate in the city is a remarkable 1.6 percent. Indeed, when word got out that the plant was closing, proposals were immediately put forth for a job fair.

The bold protest of Jefferson County, Colorado students to the actions of the conservative majority on the Jefferson County School Board in Colorado has already drawn national and international press.
Yet the school board is still proceeding with a curriculum review committee that would not just examine AP History, but would have the ability to review and change many courses, including English, Health, and Science. Organizations funded by the Koch brothers support such candidates, and would benefit from curriculum that not only promotes what the Board is considering 'American Exceptionalism' but also avoids questions related to Global Warming or Climate Change.
But this goes deeper — this could threaten critical thinking in the classroom.
This could not only impact Jefferson County students, but could affect all students in the country.
On October 11, 2014 students held a rally at Clement Park in Littleton, Colorado — adjacent to Columbine High School. There, they began collecting names for a potential recall.
Ashlyn Maher, Thomas Sizemore and Mali Holmes
"We are not a political agenda, and we're not a profit margin; we are students that need to be educated."
This issue is not just important for Colorado, but the nation. If anything the Koch Brothers have shown us, is that once they have succeeded with a conservative agenda, they will replicate that agenda everywhere they can.
There is a saying in Colorado elections, as Jefferson County goes, so goes Colorado.
Jefferson County is the biggest county and usually its voters are the pivotal votes in a statewide election. With Ballots going out as of this week – how will the extreme actions of the School Board impact the races for Governor and the even the US Senate?
And will that also be a referendum on the conservative effort to white wash our History and censor our Public Education curriculum?
Here is the extended rally video — where Colorado's Lieutenant Governor (who is also an educator), Joe Garcia, dropped by to lend his support for the students.
From Mali Holmes — student from Evergreen High School:
Since our protest began, we've been featured in the Huffington Post, USA Today, and the New York Times. We've been covered by the Guardian and other International news outlets.
America is listening. We won't be taken down so easily. Like pawns, the students are on the front lines of this issue. We will stand together and fight until we win this battle.
We will be the ones to call 'Checkmate'.
Professor Chad Kautzer of University of Colorado at Denver:
I just have one thing to say to (the Jefferson County Majority)
RESIGN. (Cheers)I have a feeling if they don't resign, the people of Jefferson County will push them out.
Because they are an embarrassment to Jefferson County, they are an embarrassment to Colorado, they are an embarrassment to our Country and they need to go.Everything bad in American History has been coupled with social struggles and these are the people that we need to read about, that we have to learn about, and we need to honor that history.
Rachel Hillbrecht of Golden High School:
We will not cut out History. We will not cut out Science classes. We need to know the truth every single piece of it!
Casey McAndrew:
The Jeffco School Board of Education has failed to do the single most important thing that any elected board has to do – to listen to its people.
We will not be censored. People did not die so that they could be erased. Jefferson County will not be erased. WE will stand together.
Lt. Governor Joe Garcia:
In high school, I had the opportunity to take AP History. In college, I had the opportunity to take Ethnic Studies. Those classes did not make us hate each other. They did not make us hate America. They made us hate oppression and injustice.
The students have given me hope and inspiration. Because these high school students now represent potentially a four-year block of students — from Freshman to Senior — that will associate the most important social education protest of their lives with Republican over-reach.
If you have been so inspired, then I will share with you this message from a parent of one of the students – a request.
"Recalls are expensive, right now, the Students don't know if there is enough support from the community to go ahead with the effort. But maybe someone who reads your article might know someone like Matt Damon or Diane Ravitch or some other well connected person who would be willing to get behind the students with this effort."
If you do now someone or feel this effort is worth supporting, please visit Jeffco Students for Change and like their page – let them know that they do have support for this effort.
Thanks also to Redfoxrun and to From Thin Air
who performed live at the event at Clement Park.

The classic red lip is back this season! The iconic look of the war era really turns a woman into a lady. It's a tough look to pull off and choosing the right shade could be tricky. The best possible tips I can give?
1. Wear it with confidence—it's a bold colour, and unless you're comfortable, you won't be able to pull it off.
2. Go a little too orange, and you risk looking like you were born with a cup of coffee on your lip, and a cigarette in hand. Choose something with a blue undertone—it'll ensure your teeth look pearly white!
3. If you know you're going to be locking lips tonight, skip the scarlet. Nothing stains worse than red lipstick, and though a man might be thrilled to brag about the lipstick on his collar, his enthusiasm will be gone so fast once he discovers his favourite white shirt is a goner.
Some celebs who really know how to work this look are Gwen Stefani, Scarlett Johanson, Dita von Teese, Anne Hathaway and Christina Aguilera.

Just posted this in Kitchens, but perhaps Lighting is the more appropriate forum. We are getting ready to embark on our kitchen remodel soon (finalized cabinet order & plans, demo will hopefully start next month). My KD (works at the cabinet store) just quoted me $1300 for dimmable LED lights, which she says are 3000K brightness. I saw them in the store and they are on a strip, about 3" apart, no diffuser. I don't know what brand. They seemed fine. It would be about half that to go with their Xenon lights, which did have a diffuser. But I don't really like the heat coming from the xenon lights and I guess LED is the thing most people do.... Anyway, I'm not much of a DIYer, so I want something that I can just hand the contractor (referred from my KD, by the way) and they will know what to do. I just called Environmental Lights and told them how many cabinets I will need to light under and they put a bunch of stuff in a cart for me that totals $580 (not sure whether or not shipping is included). They are the LED High Brightness lights and include diffusers, power source, dimmer switch, and some connectors (though maybe I would need more). I don't have a layout handy, but if this helps, the cabinets are on three walls. These are the upper cabs on each wall: So, in total, there would be 7 upper cabinets that I'd need lights under, including one corner cabinet where the Environmental Lights sales person proposed 2 6" lights connected together That's an awfully big price difference.... It seems like people on this forum seem to like Environmental Lights. I don't want to spend $700 extra that I don't need to spend for the same thing.... Is there something I'm missing here? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You'd need to know if the boxes when joined together form a contiguous flat bottom for each cabinet run. Figure out if you're going to use 120V AC or low voltage lighting. The following thread has more information. |
Here is a link that might be useful: DIY LED UCL continuation
I'm thinking of getting LED rope lights for under cabinet. You can get 16 feet for $12 on amazon |

Volcom Gigi Ruff vs Nike Kippis
which has more tech? who has laid fitted both? and whats your opinion...
Hey Evan - the Gigi Puf TDS Down jacket has more tech than the Kippis. The Gigi TDS has 15k waterproofing with 15gm breathability and the Kippis has 10/10. This means the Gigi will be more waterproof, more windproof, and more breathable than the Kippis.
Also the Gigi has TDS (targeted insulation) which is down insulation where you need it, and none where you don't like under your arms.
Finally Volcom has Zip Tech so you can zip your volcom jacket and pants together to create a snowproof seal.

Greeting Digital Community,
After extensive badgering and harassment from a couple members of my local gaming group I am finally getting around to checking out Netrunner. Cyberpunk has always been pretty interesting and I love the asymmetrical set up of the game. Having played more TCGs than I can recall I am new to the format of Netrunner. As such I come before the collective experience of what has continually proven to be a great community in where I should start. There a great many cards to get, are all necessary to start off or would it behoove me to just get it done and do a large order?
The core set seems a given, though I have seen many talking about getting more than one. Additionally what are a good amount of data packs to start off with? Should I get a core set, play some games and then go from there? So many options…
Thank you in advance everyone for you input.
More to follow after the jump.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The U.S. will ensure a a**sustainablea** deficit by 2013, Geithner said at
the beginning of the first round of Strategic and Economic Dialogue talks
under President Barack Obama in Washington. China is a**concerned about
the security of our financial assets,a** Assistant Finance Minister Zhu
Guangyao said.July 27 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury SecretaryTimothy
Geithner pledged to rein in the U.S. deficit as China underscored its
concern about preserving the value of $801.5 billion of Treasury holdings.
In a shift from Bush administration meetings, officials indicated little
sign of tension over the value of Chinaa**s yuan, which U.S. lawmakers
have labeled as artificially cheap and an aid to Chinese exports. That may
be because the a**best idea is just to keep the yuan-dollar rate stablea**
given U.S. need for Chinese demand for Treasuries, said Ronald McKinnon, a
professor of economics at Stanford University.
a**The Chinese are trapped with supporting the value of the dollar,a**
McKinnon said in a telephone interview from Stanford, California. a**If
they withdrew from the market, therea**s a big appreciationa** of the yuan
as a result that would send Chinaa**s exports down, he said.
Record Holdings
The new focus on the deficit and Treasuries reflects the legacy of
Chinaa**s record trade surpluses and its accumulation of dollars as a
result of holding down the yuan. Chinese foreign-
exchange reserves surpassed $2 trillion for the first time in the second
quarter, and its holdings of Treasuries reached $801.5 billion in May,
about 100 percent more than at the start of 2007.
Geithner is co-hosting the SED talks with Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton. Vice Premier Wang Qishan and Dai Bingguo, a state councilor, are
attending for China.
Obama said in a speech opening the meetings he wants to engage China in
cooperation on a range of issues, beyond acting together to stimulate a
global economic recovery.
a**We must also be united in preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear
weapon,a** Obama said. He cited nuclear proliferation, terrorism, piracy,
global pandemics, climate change and civil war as other common threats
facing the two countries. In her sessions, Clinton addressed both the
Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs.
Talks Expanded
The Obama administration has expanded the talks that began under
PresidentGeorge W. Bush, chaired by then Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
Paulson, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief executive officer,
pressed for a more market-set exchange rate and greater access for
international financial firms to the country.
The two sides agreed yesterday that each nation shouldna**t withdraw
economic stimulus measures a**too soon because the recoveries are still
very fragile,a** David Loevinger, the U.S. Treasurya**s senior coordinator
for China affairs, said on a conference call with reporters.
a**We talked about Chinaa**s exchange-rate policya** and Chinese officials
a**talked about their desire to reform the international monetary
system,a** Loevinger said, without offering specifics. Chinese policy
makers have said they favor an eventual shift in the global currency
reserve system away from the dollar, suggesting wider use of an
International Monetary Fund unit of account.
Yuan Discussion
Zhang Xiaoqiang, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform
Commission, told reporters yesterday that a**compared with previous
meetingsa** between Chinese and U.S. officials, a**the U.S. side doesna**t
lay as much emphasis on renminbi exchange-rate reform and opening of
capital markets.a** The yuan is a denomination of the renminbi.
The yuan has hovered around 6.83 per dollar so far this year after
advancing for four straight years in the aftermath of China lifting a
strict peg to the U.S. currency in July 2005.
Zhu, the assistant finance minister, also said China favors a a**stablea**
dollar, indicating one source of concern is any collapse in the value of
the U.S. currency. The dollar has dropped about 3.5 percent against the
currencies of major trading partners this year, according to a Federal
Reserve index, and has depreciated about 18 percent in the past eight
a**Stablea** Dollar
a**We hope that the economy and financial markets remain stable and that
the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, which is a major international
currency, remains stable,a** Zhu said yesterday. a**Thata**s why wea**re
focusing on the security of Chinaa**s investment in the U.S.a**
The U.S. delegation included Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, White House
National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers and Peter Orszag,
Obamaa**s budget director.
Obamaa**s advisers told Chinese officials that the administrationa**s
record $787 billion fiscal stimulus was necessary to get the economy out
of its worst recession in half a century. Loevinger added that the
deficit, which is on course to reach $1.8 trillion this year, will be made
a**sustainablea** in part through future spending cuts and an overhaul of
health care.
Geithner, in his opening remarks, reiterated the U.S. call for China to
shift toward relying on domestic demand for growth rather than exports.
a**They have to build more of a domestic spending society,a** U.S. Trade
Representative Ron Kirk said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. If
they do, a**software, movies and the creative arts will be a great market
for the United States.a**

Despite my sensitive skin and nose, or maybe because of them, I am a lover of essential oils. I've been playing around with my own blends for years, so I can't believe that I didn't know about Palo Santo until recently. Also known as Holy Wood, it has quite a unique scent. It's somewhat comparable to a high quality frankincense, with the addition of an ever-so-soft woody edge. Palo Santo is considered purifying, calming, and physically grounding, yet spiritually uplifting. It's good for meditation, creativity, and anything that requires sustained concentration.
I've been trying out ways to bring this wonderful scent into my life. Here's what I love…
R.L. Linden & Co. Ironwood Signature Perfume Oil: Susannah has been loving this company for its skincare and tea. I love a roll-on perfume oil! I can't tolerate alcohol-based scents at all, so I'm always happy to see companies making fragrance in this form. On the website it's characterized as a warm, unisex scent with woody, balsam, vanilla and anise notes. It's sweeter out of the bottle than what I'd normally choose for a fragrance, but it develops into a scent I really enjoy after several minutes on the skin. ($38/.33 oz, $3 sample)
Rahua Hair Wax: This vegan, gluten free, creamy styling wax is very lightly scented with Palo Santo. The scent is so light that it will layer well with any of your other scented products and not create conflict. The texture is much softer than I was expecting for something called a wax, and very easy to work with on wet or dry hair. A teensy bit will give control, and more can be used for sculpting. I use it to give a little hold and a modern matte finish to my messy, chin-length curls. NuboNau is up and running again (yay!), and you can find Rahua there any day, but I think Fridays are particularly good shopping days, don't you? ($32/3 oz)
DIY sugar scrub: A sugar scrub is such an easy DIY, even non-DIYers will enjoy this. I choose my container, fill with sugar, add several drops of my EOs, cover with oil, and mix. My favorite sugar is coconut palm, as it has a really nice scrubby texture and its own molasses-like scent. I use these mainly for hand scrubs, so you may want a finer sugar if you will use it on more delicate skin. My oil of choice is meadowfoam, but anything you like will do. I just mixed a batch I absolutely love, with Palo Santo and Moroccan Blue Chamomile EOs.
Have you met Palo Santo yet? How have you used it?

There's only one thing better than discovering a product you love, and that's figuring out a killer combo.
In a recent panic over a misplaced (and since retrieved) tube of Juice Beauty CC cream, I did just that. For better or worse, the CC cream has made me realize just how much I like having that subtle look of more even skin.
So when it went missing I reached into my medicine cabinet and was reintroduced to a product I had previously passed up: Studio 78's Chameleon Foundation.
Now, to be fair, even when I gave this product the cold shoulder, I knew it had a lot of good things going for it. I loved how it magically transformed when I touched it from a white cream to a perfectly-color-matched foundation, and it had a wonderful texture to it. The glitch? Its coverage just felt a little bit too coveragey for this clean girl.
But desperate times call for innovation. And lo, right there on the bathroom sink sat my trusty PAI Rosehip Biogenerate Oil.
I pretty much love all of the PAI products (special callout to their eye cream, which I like to use on my entire face), but there's something about this oil that I just keep coming back to. I know, I know—oils. How different are they really? Rosehip is known to be chalk-full of antioxidants and other magical things, which is awesome. And if memory serves, Evan Healy told me it was essentially god's gift to acne and anti-aging when I interviewed her for the book.
But at the end of the day, while I love information, I'm still largely about the experience. And this is an experience I just adore: the smell, the feel, the way my skin glistens after I apply it.
Now take that effect and combine it with the beautiful texture and just-slightly-too-matte coverage of the foundation and—voila!—skin perfection. Dewy, even, doesn't-look-like-makeup natural.
Why am I telling you about this instead of just reiterating how great the CC cream is? Well, because they're actually totally different beasts. The CC cream is subtle city, and sometimes you want to take things to the next but-still-natural level. That's what this combo is. In fact, my new favorite thing is using all three products for a serious triple threat.
Here's how I do:
Cleanse, apply your base or sunscreen or, if you're me, the CC. Then pump a very teeny-tiny amount of the foundation along with a very small drop of the oil onto your finger tips. (If price concerns you with these products, I cannot overemphasize how little is required for each use.) Blend and apply evenly to your skin with a very light touch (you can always add more). If you have a problem spot you can go ahead and use the foundation on its own too, like around your nose or under your eyes. The crazy thing about this stuff is that even with the oil added, it has incredible lasting power.
Have you tried either of these products? What do you use for coverage? And most importantly, what combos do you create in your bathroom?
It's not exactly news that people are buying more and more stuff online. Ecommerce sales are expected to hit a cool $370 billion by 2017. And just this past holiday season, UPS and Fed Ex struggled to keep up with the unexpected surge in online sales.
But it's one thing to take a chance on a pair of shoes and quite another to purchase something that's going on your skin. Color-matching and smell are especially tricky when buying beauty stuff at a distance.
We were talking about this the other day with the crew and determined that we all fall into one of these three online shopping profiles: 1) only willing to buy products we know; 2) willing to buy and return (returns, however, aren't often possible with beauty goods); and 3) willing to buy to try but can't be bothered to return (unless something is super pricey).
I work in the ecommerce world, so I'm probably not the most unbiased guinea pig, but I'm definitely becoming increasingly comfortable shopping online—maybe a little too comfortable! Still, I tend to fall into category uno: While I'll totally hit up a Nubonau to re-up on favorite products, I don't tend to buy things I've never tried.
Case in point: I've been greedily eyeing the Kjaer Weis line for just about forever. But it wasn't until Evolue started offering the products in-store a few months back (run, don't walk, LA ladies) that I finally took the plunge. (And what a plunge it was: I'm especially in love with the sun touched cream blush and goddess lip tint.)
What about you? Where are you buying your beauty products, and what are your online shopping practices?
As fate would have it, my purse was stolen one week ago today. I was out celebrating friendship and a birthday with my girlfriend at a posh little Vietnamese restaurant in one of the burgeoning areas of D.C., the 14th Street Corridor. Like seemingly every restaurant in D.C., there was an hour plus wait for a table so we sat at the spacious bar to have dinner. The bag I was carrying was a little crossbody number that can also be used as a clutch, and I tucked it right behind my back. At several points in the evening, I had a nervous thought about my purse being too exposed, but I rationalized that I was in a very nice place surrounded by nice looking people. Ha! Always listen to your intuition.
Oddly, before the theft my friend and I were having a conversation about loss and how to deal with it. This past year she was in an accident that totaled her car. Nobody was hurt, but the car had a lot of sentimental value to her and she was surprised by the grief and sense of loss she felt. She told me about a Mexican tradition for processing loss in which you write a letter to the thing you are grieving over and then burn it. This post is my own cathartic way of letting go. It's my love letter to my purse and everything in it. Here we go…
The bag: I love a stylish purse, but it must be practical, too. The Hobo International Leanne crossbody is something I've carried for a couple of years now. I bought it before a trip to San Francisco for my friends' wedding. It had a cool chain strap that you can tuck inside if you want to carry it like a clutch. It was compact but roomy enough for all my essentials. Mine was a tan leather that had acquired a fantastic patina from use.
The phone: In 2010 I was stuck in bed for a few weeks recovering from a major surgery. My cell phone was all busted, so just before the surgery I ordered a new iPhone 4s. It was something to look forward to during a scary time, and when it arrived a few days after I was released from the hospital, it kept me pleasantly distracted from physical discomfort. Last year I cracked the screen, but it still worked and I didn't see any reason to replace it.
The Makeup: Mostly lippies here, with a few additional items I always carry. This represents the best of my collection, items I've been slowly acquiring that had become my can't-live-without staples. Tata Harper Be Adored Lip Treatment, my first purchase from Eco Diva Beauty, I've been obsessed with its perfect rosy tint and unbelievable conditioning abilities. Worth every penny. W3LL People Nudist Colorbalm Stick #8 Poppy, also conditioning but with more of a pigmented, waxy finish. The color is bright and happy without being overdone. W3LL People Universalist Luminous Colorstick in Moonstoon Glow, my go-to illuminator that nourishes your skin while adding a subtle glow to cheeks and eyes. I bought both directly from W3ll People after sampling them. In case you don't know, they have an excellent sample program, and the new packaging is truly an upgrade. Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner in everyone's favorite Bang Bang. This was my first Ilia purchase, which I ordered from NuboNau. It made me fall in love with the brand. When I'm going for a feminine yet edgy look, this bold lippie is what I grab. Ilia Beauty Lip Gloss in Peek A Boo, a nudish color that works on me when no other nudes do. Did you know that you can use Ilia's lip conditioner and lip gloss as a blush? It works, and the color payoff and staying power is impressive. La Bella Figura Travel Therapy Botanical Mood, the most soothing and uplifting scent inlcudes blood orange, rose otto, and blue tansy. It is highly addictive, as Nicolle has attested. Fortune of all fortunes, I have an extra bottle at home. At least I wasn't carrying LBF's Positano Perfume Oil, my latest scent obsession. I purchased both scents directly from the lovely ladies at La Bella Figura.
Phew, that's it. I've started to rebuild, but it will take some time. Yesterday I ordered two new Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioners from Eco Diva Beauty in colors I've long wanted to try — Shell Shocked and Crimson and Clover. Sometimes you need a fresh start, even if you weren't looking for one.
Back by popular demand! For those of you who missed the last deal, or those of you who just can't get enough, NuboNau has got you covered. The ladies at NuboNau have just restocked some of your favorites, like the Juice Beauty CC Cream, and they added new goodies from Neon, RMS, and more. So here's the deal…

I have a 1 year old female goat that is the sweetest little thing. When i got her she had not been de-horned and was about to get sold for meat. I wanted to save her and am so glad I did. So heres my delima. I have a two year old daughter that loves to play with the goats. She goes up and down the slide with them and has a blast however, I am a complete mess worrying that she is going to get a horn in the eye or something. Does anyone have ideas about what I can do. Do they make caps??? Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I never heard of caps! If she would leave them on, you could try and make your own out of a fun noodle(used in the swimming pool, to float on!) I think you could use pipe insulation also. Which is not as thick as the fun noodles!!! Just cut them a little higher then the horns, they would be padded!!! If you get that to work, you need to post a pic, it would be funny! Brenda |

Thanks Brenda that is a good idea atleast I could put that on her when we go out to play. I will definitely put up some pics that would be super funny! |
To me that's an accident waiting to happen No matter how well you pad them a poke in the eye still can do damage.Wouldn't take much if they fell going down a slide together. Scary thought.But then that's just me.I've been wrong before. |

I remember reading in a book on raising goats about someone glueing old door knobs on the ends of his goats' horns so they weren't so likely to jab themselves or get them stuck in fences. |
No horns on a goat playing with a 2-year old child, for me. It's a potential disaster in the offing. The goats know what those horns are and what they're for, and regardless of how 'sweet' you may think your goat is, they can do some major damage to a child or another goat with just one jab. You either need to trade in this goat for one that was disbudded, or have her dehorned by a veterinarian - but be forewarned, it's not a pretty sight; dehorning an adult goat opens up some huge holes in the top of their head that take months to heal and close. |
Yep, no matter how you look at it, a horny old goat is just an accident waiting to happen. |

Horned goats aren't a problem but a 2 yr old playing with one isn't the greatest thing. As cute as they are they aren't pets. Don't take it out on the goat, give you daughter close supervision when she's with the goat. We've had all horned goats for 10 years up to 30 including a buck. Then we got involved with dairy goats and those folks pee in their shorts when they see a horned goat. We're converting our herd to horned and the heck with AGDA shows. Tom |
I think the idea of the fun noodle is a good one, it will not hurt the goat! I do agree even with protection, your daughter will have to be supervised, but that goes without saying I am sure. When I was looking for goats I came across a lot of people who had goats with horns and they tell me that their kids were around them a lot with no incidents. I was skittish of the idea and I ultimately got goats without horns. I did notice that my goats are careful around my grandkids. with each other they can get pretty aggressive but I have not seen any aggression around my grands... so far I did a search on the internet and I found a video of how a kid got accidently hit with a horn. if it had a noodle on it would not have been serious/ i could not find any articles where a goat gored a kid though. |

Sometimes it feels like we have this disconnect in our brains. People can't be the problem, everything else is. We heat the side walk and patio instead of telling people to put on a coat. Same thing here. How about not glueing crap to the poor goat, how about goggles or sunglasses for the kid? (Child not kid...you know.)....It is the child you want to protect...so...shouldn't they wear the safety gear? |
- Posted by earthygoat (My Page) on Sun, Aug 24, 08 at 21:07
I`ve had horned goats for many years and have never been hurt by my animals. If a goat (mainly does) is well taken care of and respects you, I don`t think it would ever hurt you on purpose. Having said that, accidents can happen, but please don`t be paranoid about it. Always supervise and teach your daughter how to handle the goat properly, so that the goat knows it isn`t the boss. Very similar to teaching children how to behave around family dogs. Unfamiliar goats are another story. |

i saw something on a blog about peaple whos goats horns where getting stuck in the fence, so the cut up a washing machine hose and put it across the goats horns and now they have no problems, and it sounds like that might work your your situation. |

Yes, you can buy horn caps for goats, They are round metal balls, and their actual use is as a weight to shape the horn into the desired shape. I don't know how much safety a round metal ball on the end of the horn would provide, and then what are you going to do with the nasty little sharp goat feet? A pointed goat toe could injure a child's eye just as easily as a horn could. Getting struck with the hoof is a very real possibility. Goats are not intended to be play toys for young children. I suggest that you move the goat out into the pasture with the farm animals and get the child an ADULT Labrador Retriever that is large enough so the child can't easily injure it. |

I knew enough to keep my wits about me in the maze of Addis Ababa's Merkato, the largest open-air market in Africa. I was looking for something extremely special amongst the mesmerizing blur of movement and color, hustle and bustle, bargains and wonders. I knew she deserved something that stood out from the crowd. And I knew that even amongst the madness of the Merkato, items of real quality can call out and command your attention. So when I saw a piece of genuine Ethiopian opal doublet, I knew I had to get it. In my haste, I almost forgot to haggle.
If she turns heads, then she deserves something that's equally impossible-to-miss. The Gihon Opal Ring features a stunning 1 ½-carat Ethiopian opal doublet set in magnificent sterling silver and surrounded by brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura® rounds that burn with more fire than mined diamonds. Paired with the 5 carats in the matching Gihon Opal Earrings this ring is sure to catch the eye of every passerby. But she won't even notice them looking, because once you give it to her, she'll only have eyes for you.

Posillico's Major Capital Investment at Their Asphalt Recycling and Production Facility
On June 19, 2013, Posillico Materials announced the unveiling of their new rail siding and materials transfer depot. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place to showcase this and other energy saving and carbon reduction measures, including asphalt recycling, in the completion of phase one of this major capital project in conjunction with the Town of Babylon Industrial Development Association.
Farmingdale, New York (PRWEB) July 09, 2013
On June 19, 2013, Posillico Materials announced the unveiling of their new rail siding and materials transfer depot. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place to showcase this and other energy saving and carbon reduction measures, as well as asphalt recycling technologies, in the completion of phase one of this major capital project, in conjunction with the Town of Babylon Industrial Development Association.
The project completion enables most of the materials that are required for asphalt production to be shipped via rail rather than truck. The new rail system and improved plant layout reduces fugitive dust and also eliminates 5,000 truck trips from local streets and highways annually. These changes result in reduced net fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions.
Astec Industries has been working with Posillico's engineering and material experts since 1971 to help lead the region with asphalt recycling technologies and other beneficial reuses of materials that would otherwise require landfilling as waste. Astec's Vice President of National Accounts Gail Mize said, "This recent expansion into receiving aggregates by rail will remove a considerable amount of traffic from the roads and goes far to demonstrate how good a neighbor Posillico is for the citizens of Babylon Township. Removing traffic count from the roads is always a good thing for the public, but is seldom possible."
The event was well attended by several elected officials and other dignitaries from various associations. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony and he spoke about Posillico's hard work and people first approach. "This company is thriving and reinvesting because they get it and it's why they are one of the great companies we have in this region." Also on hand was Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer who spoke of the forward thinking of Posillico. "I knew we had to have them if we were going to guarantee a better future for the town of Babylon and Suffolk County Long Island," Schaffer said referring to the Town of Babylon's approval of Posillico's permit renewal in 1996.
Chief Executive Officer of the Long Island Builders Institute and Suffolk County representative to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Mitchell H. Pally spoke about the environmental and economic impact of the new rail siding. "The creation of the new recycling center by Posillico is one of the most important environmental and economic developments to take place in the construction industry in many years. The new center will create jobs, reduce the use of trucks on our roadways, and protect our air quality. It is a great achievement for our entire community."
For three generations, Posillico, Inc. has combined quality performance with a successful background in civil, materials, environmental, drilling, and consulting, which have allowed them to provide cost-effective and seamless construction solutions to complex problems their clients demand today, and will in the future. Incorporated in 1946 under the presidency of Joseph D. Posillico, Sr. as a small trucking contractor, the company has grown to become one of the top construction firms in New York. Posillico employs as many as five-hundred people, and serves the entire Tri-State Area. The new state of the art rail facility will serve to anchor Posillico's plan to complete further capital investments which will improve overall environmental impact through innovative techniques like asphalt recycling, and create more jobs in its Farmingdale, New York campus.
