There are 22 million veterans nationwide, including more than 600,000 in Washington state, yet less than half receive their health care through facilities managed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

RETURN OF BASTARD SWORDSMAN Just when audiences thought the director couldn't get more spectacular and outrageous, he unleashed this eye-filling, mind-bending "Martial Arts World" sequel of clan rivalries, ninja atrocities, wizard sorceries, and the mythical Silkworm style that changes our hero into a veritable Spider-swordsman. The screen practically explodes with colorful characters and kung-fu -- all directed, co-written, and co-choreographed by Lu Chun-ku, and showcasing some of the best Shaw Brothers action stars. The original Bastard Swordsman was just the beginning, this superlative cult classic that out-phantasmagoricals the original.

Although the overall rate of high school baseball-related injuries has decreased within the last 10 years, the severity of injuries that occur has increased, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. During the two-year study period, an estimated 132,000 high school baseball-related injuries occurred with an injury rate of more than one per 1,000 athletic exposures.
Potential explanations for the increase in the severity of these injuries are attributed to the increase of intensity during competition and the size and strength of players resulting in them throwing faster, hitting harder and generating more force during player-to-player contact. The fact many high school baseball players now participate in baseball year round also likely contributes to overuse injuries.
"Based on our findings regarding the risk of sustaining an injury when hit by a batted ball, we strongly recommend helmets with face shields or at least mouth guards and eye protection be used by all pitchers, infielders and batters at the high school level," explained the study's lead author Christy Collins, MA, research associate in CIRP of Nationwide Children's Hospital.
According to the study, published in the June issue of Pediatrics, being hit by a batted ball is one of the more common mechanisms of baseball-related injuries and one of the most serious. More than half of the injuries that occurred as a result of being hit by a batted ball were to the head/face and teeth and 40 percent resulted in fractures, lacerations or concussions. When compared to other injuries, injured players struck by a batted ball were more than twice as likely to require surgery. The study also found pitchers are not the only players at risk. Half of the injuries attributed to being hit by a batted ball were sustained during fielding.

Though it casted a wide net of candidates, Marcos de Niza stayed on the inside in hiring its next football coach.
Offensive coordinator Sean Morin takes over the program on a permanent basis, according to school principal Frank Mirizio.
Morin was the team's interim coach during the playoffs when former coach Roy Lopez was placed on administrative leave when the postseason began. Lopez ultimately said he was cleared of any wrongdoing, but resigned in December. The Padres reached the Division II quarterfinals before falling to Chaparral.
Morin was the team's offensive coordinator the past three years and has been at the school for 11 years as its head JV and freshman coach. He played at River Valley and Mohave high schools and Long Beach Poly City College in California.
Mirizio said Mike Rohme (offensive line) and Ben Patrick (wide receivers) are staying on as assistants while the rest of the staff is formulated.
Morin teaches history at the school.
Mark Heller is the East Valley Tribune assistant managing editor. He can be reached at email@example.com or (480) 898-6576.

15 Fab Pieces to Complete Your Buenos Aires Honeymoon!
It's Honeymoon Week here at Sugar. A friend of mine who's getting hitched this Summer is hitting up Buenos Aires with her man. She's most excited about the steak, Mar del Plata's beaches, and the popping nightlife. From what I remember from my 2002 visit to BS AS, the population is quite fashionable — urban cowboys, denim, harems, exotic, funky, and bold colors. Enter for some Argentina-appropriate honeymoon gear.

Today I was in a match with a lvl 30 summoner named BOMBOA and he was outright racist without provocation and in a beginner bot match at that. The N word and "***" was slammed everywhere from this lil kid's mouth. The Tribunal isn't available to me as far as I can find so I am posting here hoping a Game Dev reads this and addresses the issue. This isn't the first time I've had this attitude thrown at me in games, names of summoners which are racist, summoners calling people racist terms, and just outright hate mongering during games because they aren't outright stomping on the enemy. The community is currently being corrupted by these players and I myself at lvl 21 have seen many new players ask how often they will find people like that and when the answer comes back "a good bit" or "often 1 in the game at least" then they stop playing the game all together. I have used the end of game report system to label these players and put in the notes why and what for but I don't know if that is even getting thru since so many people report for simple things as well. Please Riot put in a strong enforcement of the rules against this as most think you will do absolutely nothing because they are lvl 30 or spend too much money on skins for you to ban them. Bomboa directly said that Riot would do nothing cause he's lvl 30 and nothing has been done yet. I also submit this knowing I'm likely to get blasted with posts from some of these types of players saying they "should have the right to say what they want" "it's just a game" "cry more lil baby" and many other forms of that type of forum posts. So do note that the doing posts like that will likely make you a target for the devs. Thank you for reading my post and I hope the gaming community gets cleaned up a bit and the Summoner's Code followed. And thanks to Riot for such a great free game.

Riot can't ban someone based on these posts, if they get enough reports (which it sounds like they will) some action will occur. Best to not worry yourself with it and just keep on summoning. also, if you're level 30 and haven't been banned for Leaving you should have access to www.leagueoflegends.com/tribunal and if you don't, contact CS.

Mayte was a very gracious host. Since there was street construction going on in front of the apartment, she kindly offered us the rear apartment to shield us from the noise. The apartment was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. We had blistering 100-104 degree weather in Sevilla everyday and the AC never faltered. It was a great refuge from... More

My 720 battery has a life of less than 10 minutes. I can buy a replacement one for £7 but I gather there is some difficulty with a special tool to open the back. When I asked TT Repairs they quoted a flat fee of £105 which is clearly not what I want. Request adsvice on the way forward please! If I get a battery might a comepetent computer workshop be a place to ask about fitting it?
See here:
Hello, you are my first contact and i can't seem to navigate the forum/discussion are very well yet to know how to put this out to more people at once for a response. Thank you for anything you can do!
Forum info talks about purchasing and replacing battery in GPS, I have a 730, and on TT Site they say you can't replace battery??
Symptoms: Even though green battery level indicator shows a full green bar (Battery), when i unplug from the charger cord it goes black and off immediately. Even when charging, no indicator lights show up on any corner of the unit or screen... just the green power light in bottom right hand corner??
Thank you for anything you can do for me!
Clear on the replacement. Excellent.
Question: My TT720 shut down and went black in the middle of a trip. The lower right green charge light shows fine. It will not power up. The battery has been down to seconds of life at a full charge for some time.
Would it be that the battery has completely expired thus would not work at all when connected to an outside power supply? Would my symptoms be a totally gone battery or likely another issue?
I am happy to order an replace the battery if that is a likely expectation for the problem. After spending a week with a borrowed Garmin, I have ordered a new TT1535. It should arrive today. If I can power the 720, I'll give it to my wife.

Yes, your symptoms sound like those I had on my 720. I could charge it (even with AC) for hours. When disconnected, it too went from full powershowing to red to shutdown. Simply, the battery was kaput.
I finally did replace it and it's back to normal.........

You can buy a battery that comes with a kit containing a Torx screwdriver and a shim tool, or you can spend less for the battery and supply your own tools. You need a Torx #6 screwdriver. I was able to get one in a set for about $6 USD. You will need a very thin shim to pry the screen from the bezel to get at the inside of the device. I used a jeweler's screwdriver. You can get one at the druggist in an eyeglass repair kit.
The biggest challenge is getting the old battery off of the circuit board. The battery is not designed to be replaced, so it is attached with a strong adhesive. You have to pry the battery loose very carefully, being careful not to crack the circuit board or otherwise damage any of the components on the board. I used the high quality knife on a Leatherman multi-tool to very slowly pry the battery loose. Be patient and be careful; you don't want to snap off your knife blade.
If you can remove the battery from the circuit board, there should be enough "stickum" left on the board so that you won't have to use anything to hold the new battery down (and it will be easier to replace that if you ever want to). Otherwise, use some double-sided tape to attach the new battery to the board. Scrapbooking tape should work well.
Charge the new battery fully. The cradle doesn't seem to draw enough power from the USB port to do a good job. I used the car charger and it came up to full power in several hours. It's too soon to tell if the replacement battery is any better than the original. Even when it was new, my Go 720 battery would deplete itself in 30 days of non-use, and the rated useful life of the battery was only about 3 hours. I hope the new battery is also an upgrade.
As you can tell, this isn't a completely simple task, and you do run the risk of ruining your device, but if you are careful, you can save yourself quite a bit of money and do the job well.
There's a very good video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR_1ME9HALA
Maybe it's worth paying a little extra and getting the full kit from them to thank them for their excellent instructional video, but their battery kit is a bit more expensive than some others.
Hi, just before I change my go720 battery (which wont hold it's charge) will it lose all it's memory when I disconnect it momentarily?
Thanks for the reply. Hope it's not too cold there.
Where in nz can I buy a new battery for my tom tom go 720 wog

Ok well, I'm on my 2nd tube. And I'm not one to splurge on products, but this stuff is it. For the reviews that said it clogged their pores, I think they need to remember that exfoliating prior is KEY. I never understand when people say they take their makeup off with a "gentle cleanser". How is it coming out of your pores? Anyway, at the end of the day, I generally take makeup off with dove, but actually UNCLOG MY PORES with Apricot scrub. I was told by an aesthetician that sometimes a 2-part process is necessary (for those with large pores). After that, I wipe my face with a gentle Sea Breeze astringent. Finally, ONE PUMP of the Total Turnaround renewer will cover my entire face and the bottle has lasts me about 3 months. When I wakeup in the morning........................VELVET. I'm telling you.
It's all about prep, it's just a necessary evil. You can't just slap this on after doing a lame job of washing your face. This is probably one of Clinique's best products, unfortuantely it is pricey. HOWEVER, every other season they offer the Turnaround gift set which gives you this, the mask, and something else, i forget, BUT for only like $50, for ALL THREE.
The point is, I only allow myself to invest in one high-end beauty product a month and this is it.

Got a GWP and decided to try this out. At first I loved it and really thought it was making my skin look much more refreshed and nice. However, after I bought a full size and began using it full time, I felt like it lost its effect on me. Will not repurchase when I run out.
I am reviewing Total Turnaround Visible Skin Renewer for oilier skins which comes in a 50ml blue bottle with a pump. This product does nothing but clogg pores and causes pimples. I cannot understand why Clinique is even selling this- unless perhaps to get potential buyers for their 3 step cleaning system No 4 and other acne treatment products.

I really like the feel of this so far. It seems to deliver a lot of moisture and it feels very velvety smooth on, kind of reminds me of Estee Lauder's Idealist skin smoother. Seems to make my face look radiant and refreshed in just one application. I will have to update soon to see how this fares over the long haul, but so far so good.
This is a lightweight serum gel that is in a silicone base. Contains a host of antioxidant, anti-aging ingredients including acetyl glucosamine ( lighten hyperpigmentation), saccharomyces lysate extract ( to oxygenate skin), wheat germ oil, rice bran extract, squalane, hyaluronic acid, vitamin e and other herbal extracts. Also contains salicylic acid to exfoliate skin. Paraben free. I cannot use this on my face because the silicones caused my skin to break out on my very oily forehead. I am finishing it up and my neck and hands. If you are acne prone, try a sample first.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love love love this, its simply a gorgeous treat for your skin. I use it every other day, and its feels wonderful to put on. I've been using if for over a year, and have seen a marked improvement in the quality, tone and texture of my skin. I love the pump dispenser, very hygenic and you can easily control how much is dispensed. Not cheap, but not overproced. Very pleased with the product.
n.b this is a concentate of the older product, so you're paying the same amount but for half the quantity. However its much stronger now as its a concentrate, and isn't designed for daily use, so it IS cost effective.
More reviews by themerchanwifey
OK so I keep trying to stray and then find myself coming back to this product! I absolutely HATE the packaging, I mean come on this is 2007, we don't dip our fingers in pots anymore! Thank goodness I got rid of my acrylics otherwise I would be tempted to stray again! The most recent even that brought me crawling back was a horrible bout with a drug store "skin renewal" product. I have very rarely broken out from a product, my hormones are usually the culprit, but Whoa! This stuff tore me up! Not only was my chin breaking out, but I was spotted with sandpaper like patches! So I was searching for a remedy in my cabinet and came across a sample I received from my most recent Clinique makeup purchase. Can I tell you that within two days I saw dramatic relief. My skin smoothed out and my blemishes healed quickly. So now I am back on the Turnaround Train. The problem now is that i can't stop touching my face. Even my hormonal breakouts are less severe since I've been using this product. So thank you Total Turnaround, I have hopefully learned my lesson for the last time, now can we just work on getting this in a pump version?
I LOVE this product. Generally I hate clinique skincare products. They really wreak havoc on my skin and make me breakout. I remember when I used the facial soap my skin felt like leather. However this is one product that really evens my skin out, minimizes pores, and banishes breakouts. It makes my skin feel silky smooth, and takes away the oiliness. I even am liking it better than my Lancome serums which is really saying something since Im a big Lancome fanatic and my nightstand looks like a Lancome laboratory. I lam really loving this as a night time serum to keep my skin clear and glowing. For reference I have combination/oily skin which is SUPER DUPER oily in the t zone, fair yellow-and-pink skin (cool AND warm figure that one out) and brown hair and eyes.

Consultant Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte in August 2014.
I applied online (I currently work in this field for a competitor) for a consultant position within the Human Capital Practice: Organization, Transformation & Talent Group. Within a week a I heard from a recruiter, who setup a phone interview.
Phone Interview: Basic questions about my background, current employer, and reasons for applying to Deloitte. Lasted 30 mins, was pretty straight forward. Just be confident in your answers.
A day later I was contacted for another phone interview, this time with a Sr. Manager from the office I indicated I wanted to work from. I really appreciated that Deloitte made the effort to get someone from this office, as it is not in one of their major cities
Technical Phone Interview: Asked me about my experiences within change management consulting. He would ask me to explain things in more detail, and drill down into my examples. Advice is to again be confident, have lots of examples of the work you have done on hand, and be able to frame your examples (size of team/project, budget, what you did, results, etc).
A few days later I was invited to in-person interviews. Deloitte flew me out on a Thursday night, and back Friday afternoon. The format was 1 case and 2 behavioral. To prep, I walked through Deloitte's case prep online, made sure I had solid experiences to share for about 5 different types of questions, and had a good "story" to tell about why Deloitte and why I wanted to switch.
Case: Very straightforward. I was given the paper with the case on it. Focus was on an ERP implementation. I took my time to organize an initial response and explained how I setup/grouped the info (Strategy, opportunities, challenges). The interviewer walked me through the case, asking questions and followup questions. Key advice is to link everything back to the strategy, bring in ideas not in the case, and be able to come up with how "your" services will add value (+profit or -cost) to the company.
Behavioral: 2 separate interviews. Very similar. Be able to have solid examples that show a variety of experiences. Be personable, that is what consulting is about. Be able to show results and value from your past experiences.
Afterwards I followed up with emails. Heard back the following Tuesday via a phone call. Took about 2 weeks to work out the offer before I accepted. Everyone I met was incredibly friendly and professional. Very impressed overall.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Deloitte.
Interview DetailsPretty easy, typical. There really wasn't anything out of the blue. Star formatting responses helped, skills assessment was vague but typical. Just practice and know your resume. Phone interview first, then in person skills assessment. Phone interview was straightforward, resume questions, tell us about yourself, etc. Skills assessment wasn't too bad, don't worry.

Consultant Interview
Application DetailsI applied through college or university. The process took a week – interviewed at Deloitte.
Interview DetailsInterview process started off a little hectic. Scheduled 2 30-minute phone interviews. 1 behavioral, which was really easy. 1 case. Case interview over the phone is definitely an awkward process. My case was really strange but pretty easy. I didn't do great, but from talking to people at the firm, no one does because phone cases are inherently awkward.
The next steps were an on site interview in Arlington a week and a half after the case. I was told to keep the day open and that I would definitely hear back 1 way or the other before the onsite.
Well that date went by and I heard nothing. There was no main contact in the process either. I did reach out to the various people who had been in contact with me, but no one will get back to me. I guess I did something egregious because I was just completely dropped.
It's really strange because I have received offers from several other firms. I had been extremely impressed with Deloitte up until this point and they were at the top of my list. This process was pretty disheartening. I guess it was better to find out now.Interview Questions- Phone case interview Answer Question

Interview DetailsThey do not even have a mobile optimized apply process so the candidate experience is frustrating from the start. For a global consulting firm this is concerning especially if they are looking to hire both fresh new talent or seasoned talent like myself who knows the gaps in this process cause loss of interest of top Talent.

Consultant Interview
Application DetailsI applied through college or university. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Deloitte.
Interview DetailsI was put through a total of 3 interviews, 1) behavioral; 2) short case (30-40 minutes); 3) long case (1 hour).
The interview started the minute I came off the elevator with greeters asking me about myself and discussing their experiences. They mentioned that they would provide input into the hiring process in terms of my ability to create conversation and interact with others. They greeters escorted me to a room where I waited as others were finishing up their round one interviews. I was then escorted to meet a manager who performed the behavioral interview.
Round 1 Interview:
Behavioral Interview - Lasted about 40 minutes and consisted of the manager asking me questions about my resume and experience. It was a simple discussion to learn more about my background and gauge how well I would fit within the firm based on experience and personality.
After time was up, I was escorted immediately to another room, where I was to perform a short case with another manager.
Case Study - The case was not too complex and revolved around a federal client looking to improve their tracking of IT equipment. I was able to apply the framework of People, Process, and Technology to the case and provided my response.
I received a call 3 hours after the initial two interviews and was asked to return the next day for what would be the final interview.
Round 2 Interview:
Case Study (1 hour) - I showed up to the same location as the day before and was escorted to a room where I met with a Deloitte partner. The partner was very nice and went over the premise of the case with me and asked me to solve it. I again broke it into a framework and walked them through my thought process. The partner did challenge some of my responses and asked for clarification. I was able to provide my rationale for each of his questions and he seemed satisfied. i am not sure if he was trying to make me nervous or was generally interested in how I came up with my solution?
I receive an email and a call the next day from the recruiter stating that I would be offered a position.Interview Questions- Please breakdown the national budget for me and explain where most of the U.S. tax dollars go.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Deloitte.
Interview DetailsI had a call to do a phone screen with talent, then came in to the office for an in person interview (1 hour each with 4 individuals) all in 1 day. Talent gave me a 1 day heads up that my interview will include a case study, which made me question talent's effectiveness.
The interview included a case study, resume review, general questions to learn about my skillsets/experience, and informal discussions to assess culture fit.Interview Questions- case study Answer Question

Consultant Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Deloitte in September 2014.
Interview DetailsI had a current employee give my resume to a recruiter. After waiting 2 months I received an email scheduling a phone interview. The recruiter failed to contact me during our set meeting time. I sent to emails to touch base, without a reply. About a week later I heard back from the recruiter and scheduled a new time. The initial interview went well. They asked me what I knew about the company and why I wanted to work there. I was assured I would then hear back by the end of the week about a follow-up in person interview. I did not hear until the end of the following week ( after I emailed them). By then the position had been filled.

Recently, right-wing columnist Charles Krauthammer said, "It finally happened ... Russia turned East," citing the "$400 billion of Siberian natural gas to be exported to China over 30 years." He went on to say this "spectacular deal" makes a "mockery" of Obama and U.S. boasts to have isolated Russia over Ukraine as signs of U.S. decline due to the president's policies.
This, and all the other bunk Krauthammer writes, omits a few facts. Russia, China and four other countries have been meeting since 1996 as the Shanghai Cooperative Organization, and, since then, have met over 20 times to discuss security, military cooperation and counter-terrorism, and to develop large-scale projects in transportation, energy and telecommunications. China and Russia also ran extensive war games in 2005, 2007 and 2009. The "spectacular deal" arises from SCO project developments, not from the problems in the Ukraine.

Aldershot boss Dean Holdsworth has rejected Crawley's offer for him to take over the managerial role at the newly-promoted League One club.
Crawley director of football Steve Coppell is understood to have spoken to Holdsworth about succeeding Sean O'Driscoll, who took over at Nottingham Forest last week, and Shots chairman Kris Machala confirmed he turned down an "overwhelming" offer.
"Dean is highly regarded within the game and could have taken the opportunity to move. He received an overwhelming offer that would have been beneficial to him both on a personal and professional basis," Machala told Aldershot's official website.
"I am delighted Dean has chosen to remain as manager of Aldershot Town Football Club and I have to place on record my sincere appreciation to an individual who has proved his loyalty and integrity.
"We have a close bond throughout the club and are all genuinely excited as we enter the 20th year of Aldershot Town FC."
Holdsworth himself added: "I have got a lot of ambition but at this moment in time that is making Aldershot Town Football Club a better place to be and work - it is important that people see my loyalty."

lolo tall block heel
by A DETACHER
A Détacher owner Mona Kowalska likens herself to more of a curator than a designer. Having spent the early part of her career designing for various small labels in Italy, it is of no surprise that A Détacher exudes an air of European luxury and sophistication. After stints in Italy and having briefly run the Paris design studio of Sonia Rykiel, designer Mona Kowalska was bound for New York and the process of designing clothes under her own name commenced. Kowalska has run a successful label since 1998 with little press or media attention. Possessing a refreshing attitude towards her line and the industry as a whole, she is unapologetic in her loyalty to her aesthetic while amassing a quiet cult clientele.

Clients meet for a pre-session consultation at their bedroom or at Bella Studio to determine their session's theme and preemptively choose poses. Bella employs dramatic lighting to capture flattering angels of intimate posturing, and subjects can make up to two costume changes using their own sultry wardrobe pieces and supplied accessories such as scarves, hats, and zebra-print construction helmets. Each session produces 35–50 shots for transfer to a private online gallery, while the session's best image achieves existence in real space-time as an 11"x16" print. Staff expertly check and retouch each photo for blemishes before proofing. Subjects can augment facial canvases with Face by Julie Gray makeup for an additional $20.

Tinted in every color of the rainbow, Depression glass livens kitchens with cheery hues, tempts collectors with rare shades, and repels bulls when places in china shops. Pyrex and green Jadeite from the '40s–'60s treat eyes to intricate nostalgia, and elegant glass adds a refined touch to shelves and dinnerware collections. Though not covered by today's Groupon, desired items sail into shopping bags for as little as a few dollars per piece, and hourly door-prize drawings add an element of suspense rivaled only by the convention's blindfolded goblet juggler.

Thanks to the consideration of a dear friend, I received an e-mail suggesting I log onto a Web site that would give me information regarding an issue with which I have been dealing for a while.
It was an article by David Brooks entitled, "The Great Forgetting." My laughter was already bubbling up from a great humorous deep.
Brooks gave a wonderful tongue-in-cheek description:
She was one of our brightest stars. Graduating among the top students in our class, a philosophic thinker sparked with the poetry of life, she was a tiny person bedecked with the fourragere that decorated her shoulder and noted her scholarly status.
It was Independence Day and I was sitting in my office gazing at the serenity of Sasspan Creek. The sea creatures seem to be living peaceably with each other. They give space and place to one another without squawking, fighting or jealously guarding their spot in the water or on our dock. I watched them and wonder why we humans cannot seem to share our earth in such an equitable manner.

Sherman Tree, Sequoia National Park
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
The General Sherman Tree is considered the largest living tree by volume. It is neither the tallest or widest but if you combine its 275 foot height with its 102 foot ground circumference, it is a whopping 2.7 million pounds! It sounds big and it is but really until you stand next to it, it's hard to put a finger on what these numbers mean. At 2100 years old, it's no baby either. This can be accessed via a big parking lot which is serviced by the free shuttle.
This is the worlds largest living tree (although it isn't the tallest or widest.) Believed to be over 2,100 years old and still going - I read every year it adds enough wood to build a 60 foot tall tree! Needless to say it's a very popular spot to take pictures from, so you may end up jockeying for position.
Getting here is half the fun. Along the main road, there is a bus stop with limited parking for folks with handicap stickers only. A larger parking lot is located just north of the tree. You can either wait for a bus, or hike the half mile down to the tree (and the Congress Trail trailhead.) I recommend taking the trail down, then taking the bus back, since it's all downhill from the parking lot. It's a nice wide path through the forest, and you'll get a glimpse of General Sherman as you make your way down. Note that if you go past the tree to the bus stop, you can get a full view of this giant.
This is the main course of the park, the General Sherman Sequoia Tree in all its magnificence.
What can I say? Embarassing.
Never seen anything like this, never imagined anything like this.
Nor I'm able to describe the scene, bad writer, possibly. But the only thing I can say is that this is a thing to see being there, not in a picture.
This is definitely the most crowded place in the park. Most, if not all, of Sequoia's visitors flock to the parking lot near the Congress trail to see General Sherman. The tree is referred to as the "oldest living thing on earth", which may or may not be accurate. The park rangers and other persons in the know are still debating this one.
If it weren't for the plaque in front of this tree and the disproportionately large number of people milling about, General Sherman would appear no more impressive than any of the other giant sequoias in the park. But the Congress trail which loops around the sequoias in the area, is a nice walk and its not every day that one gets to see a living thing that is over 2000 plus years old, and still going and growing.

(ok, since she's presumably trolling, here ya go )
I'm gratified, Julianna, that you've come to the same conclusion as the millions of Europeans who preceded you on their journeys to the U.S - that this country offers much more in the way of opportunity and hope than that economically stagnant and culturally sclerotic collection of quaint old buildings and nude statues you call home.
Perhaps you will come to appreciate the grace, integrity, common sense, and good values that the people of the Old Dominion will demonstrate. Perhaps some of that character will rub off on you, for clearly you're life is a mere superficial quest for hedonistic delights and lacks meaning. This is to be expected from someone whose enviable position of privilege comes at the expense of the untold suffering exacted upon the hapless victims of the mighty Dutch colonial empire - undoubtedly the most exploitive commercial state the world has ever known. I wonder if the life of luxury you enjoy was bought with the blood and toil of the countless victims of the lash of their evil Dutch overlords.
Perhaps as you experience the substance of family values in Virginia, you'll realize that the best decision you can make regarding the future of your unborn child is to marry a good, Christian man and raise your child in the Christian church.

To siphon the conversation back a little to racial diversity...I doubt having an extremely racially diverse hockey league would make much difference to fans and non-fans...seeing as how the NFL and NBA are about as racially diverse as hockey is. I just don't get why racial diversity would make the sport more interesting to some. If the way it is played isn't interesting to you now, it never will be.
You didn't understand the entire post? lol You jumped to the third point so the 2 points you seemed to miss I can summarize each
1. I was talking about the NHL with US audience and not "hockey" worldwide so I wanted to bring us back to what i was talking about.
2. The analogy of 15 different African countries is a perfect analogy because I know you were going to try to go for "Hey, if you talk to them, they will have different European cultures." I answered your question clearly as "visual diversity" so that could include race but it would also include ethnicity where you could tell by looking (3 clear Caucasian examples...Hispanic, Middle-Eastern, East Indian)...not sitting down to do an interview with each and every player to illicit the difference.
So now that you understand "visual diversity" which includes race from there we can just agree to disagree. I think diversity that reflect more of what America is about MIGHT appeal more to some people who are not fans. I still think football is diverse in that for example if you told me to guess the race (for example) of the top 5 players in the next draft, I couldn't tell you. If you told me to guess the race of the person being interviewed post game, I couldn't tell you. Basketball sort of held on to fans because it used to be all white. My guess is if it started just black and stayed that way, it wouldn't be as popular. That's JMO. Football has that same white foundation.
That's fine that we disagree but in the heart of hearts I think you know what I mean by visual diversity...no sit down interviews to prove it. Personally I enjoy seeing inclusive sports where the only loyalty is the color of the uniform. So I would enjoy watching the bonding of different groups (groups that couldn't all drink from the same water fountain in the past) in hockey. My point is simple, even if it is just a small percentage of the non viewers, the number still goes up (so long as there are no current viewers who drop out). The only question is whether it would be like a Tiger effect or not. maybe one day we will find out.
I feel the same way about Nascar.
There will always be people who enjoy inclusiveness more and those who don't care for it (or even are offended by it) so people will be different. It's not worth arguing over.

I recall a picture of these and mention that the main ingredients after shredded (not flaked) coconut and egg whites were flour, sugar and vanilla. Glaze looked like melted chips. The shape was described as 2" balls.
They looked as though they were shaped with an icecream scoop. Thanks
