Taste Test: Whole-Grain Pasta
by Dana Angelo White in Taste Test, February 18, 2010
Whole grains offer more vitamins, fiber and protein than the refined counterparts, but a food's taste and texture are important — especially when you're talking about pasta. We took some of the most popular whole-grain pasta brands for a test drive.
Whole Grain Options
Whole wheat used to be the only whole grain pasta choice; nowadays there are pastas made of brown rice, barley, oats and even spelt — all great whole-grain picks. Some food manufacturers take it a step further and use egg whites, flaxseed and flours from legumes such as beans and lentils to tweak the texture and boost a pasta's nutrient content.
For our test, we chose a variety of whole-grain pastas and scored them on a 5-point scale (5 being the highest). We focused on taste, texture and nutritional value. Prices varied significantly — unlike most white pastas that come in 16-ounce (1 pound) boxes, these brands ranged anywhere from an 8-ounce to a 16-ounce package. Costs were anywhere from $0.13 to $0.33 per ounce.
Prep Tip: Some whole-grain pastas (especially the whole-wheat kinds) have a nutty flavor that doesn't jive with the acidity of tomato sauce. Think outside the jar of marinara and mix it up with olive oil and garlic, pesto or even a lightened-up alfredo sauce.
Barilla Plus
Rating: 5
Nutrition Info (per 1 cup of cooked pasta): 210 calories, 4 grams fiber, 10 grams protein
Our Take: Great chewy texture and a neutral flavor. Made with flax, barley, wheat, legume flours and some egg whites, this pasta is a little lower in fiber than some of the others but highest in protein — a great all-around pick.
Ronzoni Healthy Harvest
Rating: 3
Nutrition Info: 180 calories, 6 grams fiber, 7 grams protein
Our Take: Containing whole-grain wheat, flax and semolina, this pasta was our least favorite due to its gritty texture and slight aftertaste. The flavor was just okay at best.
Hodgson Mill
Rating: 4
Nutrition Info: 210 calories, 6 grams fiber, 9 grams protein
Our Take: Simple is best. Made with one ingredient (whole-wheat durum flour), this Hodgson Mill pasta was slightly nutty, and though it wasn't as chewy as white pasta, it had a nice bite.
Tinkyada Brown Rice Pasta
Rating: 4.5
Nutrition Info: 200 calories, 1 gram fiber, 4 grams protein
Our Take: Another one-ingredient wonder, this brown rice pasta has a neutral flavor and chewy texture that is closest to regular pasta. Downside: lower fiber and protein count. Make sure to follow the package directions — this pasta requires a lengthy cooking time (16 to 17 minutes) and can be gummy if you don't rinse it after cooking. If you haven't seen this pasta before, you will — Tinkyada has been popping up in the natural food aisle of many grocery stores. (P.S. It's also gluten-free.)
Rating: 4.5
Nutrition Info: 210 calories, 5 grams fiber, 7 grams protein
Our Take: DeBoles gets points for creativity — their pasta is made with whole-wheat flour and Jerusalem artichoke flour (Jerusalem artichokes are a starchy root veggie from the sunflower family). It was pleasantly chewy and downright tasty. The only hitch: It was the priciest!
Another Brand Worth Mentioning
When we spotted Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Pasta in the store, we just had to try it. Made by the same company as the sprouted grain bread from our whole-grain bread taste test, this pasta has 7 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein, which is impressive. Thing is, this pasta is, well, weird. The flavor wasn't horrible but the texture was sub-par — it basically fell apart into tiny shreds when we cooked it.
TELL US: Have you tried these pastas? What's your whole-grain fave?

are they really whole grain or less processed than traditional white flour?
Dreamfields is excellent (and it fools my picky "white flour" step-son!) Also good are Barilla Plus, and SmartTaste, which is a bit "soft" but tastes just like regular pasta. High fiber pastas have come a long way, that's for sure.
I don't care about the added cost; I love pasta and am happy to pay more for a "better for you" product!
My favorite brand of whole wheat pasta is by Bionaturae..
It's not too dark and has more of a mild flavor than the strong, nutty flavors of a lot of whole grain pastas.. has very nice texture also
I'm not sure how readily available it is though, I buy it at Whole Foods but i'm not sure i've seen it many other places.. but if you ever spot it, I recommend trying it
We just tried the shiritaki noodles. 20 calories for 4 oz!!! If you expect the texture of traditional pasta, you will be disappointed. It is a soy and yam product. Next time, I'll try using it baked in a casserole, maybe the texture will be different (they're kind of slippery) My husband and I agreed that even though they're different , its worth using because of the calorie content. You find them with the soy products in a refrigerator case at the store.
Not quite a pasta, but I've always loved both bean thread and yam noodles. Love the slippery texture, and their transparency can make some beautiful dishes. Very low calorie, too. Would love to know how to make them myself.
I love Ronzoni. It tastes great and have no issue with the texture.
I was so happy to find Tinkyada at my grocery store.. I recently discovered that I am sensitive to gluten products and have had wonderful results with cutting it out of my diet. I was/am a huge pasta fan and was delighted that there was an alternative out there for me
I love and recommend Barilla Plus pasta. I sometimes buy the whole wheat variety but the Plus is well accepted by my kids so that's my go-to brand.
I'm now buying the Barilla Whole Grain. It's ok. I really like the Barilla Plus and Ronzoni Smart Taste, but want more whole grain….
I just recently tried the Hodgson Mills.Loved the taste and texture.It's true that the whole wheat pastas aren't as pleasing to the palate with tomato sauce.Experiment with so many wonderful produce,garlic olive oil etc.
I find if I saute the veggies first, it brings out better flavor.

PHOENIX -- Investigators are looking into a case of vandalism at the state Capitol, sparked by the newly signed anti-illegal-immigration law.
Capitol police arrived on the scene at about 6 a.m., after a swastika was found smeared on the glass doors of the House and Senate buildings.
While it first looked like mud on the doors, it turned out be refried beans.
On the sidewalk, beans were used to write "AZ=Nazi," again with a swastika.
It's not clear when exactly the vandalism happened, but police believe it was some time overnight.
"That is what happens when there is so much fear and there is so much disappointment," said Gustavo Ramirez, a protester from California. "The laws that have been passed, they are Nazi laws. They are not considering humanity. They are a crime against humanity."
Ramirez said while he does not support the new law, vandalism is not the way to make a statement.
This is the first case of hate-crime vandalism since Gov. Jan Brewer signed the controversial Senate Bill 1070 into law on Friday.
While there have been protests and rallies by people on both sides of the issue, they have been peaceful.
Protesters are still at the Capitol, vowing to stay and peacefully make their voices heard. The new law will go into effect this summer.
Those opposed to the measure say it essentially legalizes racial profiling.
Supporters say that's not the case. Law-enforcement representatives and the governor insist that racial profiling will not be tolerated.
While protests have been nearly constant since Friday's signing, polls taken before that indicated a majority of Arizonans -- 70 percent -- were in favor of SB 1070.

This only affects GPG version 1.4.x, so it only affects SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0. Other SUSE Linux versions are not affected. This could make automated checkers, like for instance the patch file verification checker of the YaST Online Update, pass malicious patch files as correct. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CVE-2006-0455. Also, the YaST Online Update script signature verification had used a feature which was lost in gpg 1.4.x, making it possible to supply any kind of script which would be thought correct. This would also allow code execution. Both attacks require an attacker either manipulating a YaST Online Update mirror or manipulating the network traffic between the mirror and your machine. 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes None. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. x86 Platform: SUSE LINUX 10.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/i586/gpg-1.4.2-5.2.i586.rpm f1422c0264ff3e270a56d03d4b47e762 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/i586/liby2util-2.12.9-0.3.i586.rpm 9a6f3ee339303f3efd92121dedf441aa ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/i586/liby2util-devel-2.12.9-0.3.i586.rpm b504c0cf0f84039018ae1ac90d2e5292 SUSE LINUX 9.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/i586/gpg-1.4.0-4.2.i586.rpm fffa34f3034effa188cbeb942473e200 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/i586/liby2util-2.11.7-0.3.i586.rpm a321ab146d07c50cc69a91352ac28bf7 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/i586/liby2util-devel-2.11.7-0.3.i586.rpm 1215bcf8f061079dbe05b93b1d611818 Power PC Platform: SUSE LINUX 10.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/ppc/liby2util-2.12.9-0.3.ppc.rpm 287ef59b3aec2b9aaaba0e17a9cbba27 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/ppc/liby2util-devel-2.12.9-0.3.ppc.rpm f0bd4524c50c5e0a5613f70393ba4489 x86-64 Platform: SUSE LINUX 10.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/liby2util-2.12.9-0.3.x86_64.rpm edcad55c6587b9322b5895f2e1ff3760 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/liby2util-devel-2.12.9-0.3.x86_64.rpm c6b4a827e8ab4dc6d14608ceeb3e3385 SUSE LINUX 9.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/x86_64/liby2util-2.11.7-0.3.x86_64.rpm 7cd1425a429b4637b34aa675d4eeaa85 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/x86_64/liby2util-devel-2.11.7-0.3.x86_64.rpm 8d27157261b70a5bb51ab643d8dd1fe8 Sources: SUSE LINUX 10.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/src/gpg-1.4.2-5.2.src.rpm 5098f06cba2e38aa0b5181fb3f9cd7f3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/src/liby2util-2.12.9-0.3.src.rpm 3107fb78311f00f01c484c1fa1ab26df SUSE LINUX 9.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/src/gpg-1.4.0-4.2.src.rpm 026b7d74d345815de958152305ffde09 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/src/liby2util-2.11.7-0.3.src.rpm 2663aecb5e77147aca6881bd92e570bb ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information - Announcement authenticity verification: SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify replacing with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team " where is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or RPM package: 1) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package 2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement 1) The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from email@example.com with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. 2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command md5sum after you downloaded the file from a SUSE FTP server or its mirrors. Then compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (by email@example.com), the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be verified. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: firstname.lastname@example.com - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.

My Deer Friends are Back
Last year we had a ton of deer visit our yard to eat the fallen apples from our tree. I'm so happy because they're back. There are about five of them with long white tails. Most people don't like them coming around, as they tend to get into the gardens. But these girls stick mainly to the apples. They're so peaceful and protective of each other. I could watch them all day, but they never stay very long.

Ohhh gorgeous. This photo reminds me of my grandmother's house on Whidbey Island in Washington State. I remember staring in awe each time a deer wandered into her yard. So beautiful in the snow. :)

New analysis by CHOICE has found consumers are unknowingly giving the major banks a free kick of at least $7.3 billion dollars* by keeping $153 billion dollars of their cash in low- or no-interest transaction accounts.
The banks then lend out this cash bonanza at much higher rates, while continuing to charge customers hundreds of millions of dollars in fees and charges.
The Big Four offer 0.01 per cent interest or less on nearly all everyday transaction accounts, and with the exception of NAB, monthly fees apply unless you meet deposit conditions. In contrast they charge almost seven per cent to mortgage borrowers.
CHOICE is asking bank customers on World Consumer Rights (WCR) Day to do themselves a favour and move their money to accounts which pay more than just derisory rates.
"Banks are taking advantage of consumers' lack of knowledge about which bank products suit them best," says CHOICE spokesman Christopher Zinn. "We all need to take the initiative and ask. Don't wait for the bank to tell you about accounts that charge lower fees and pay better interest. Find out for yourself."
On WCR Day consumer groups around the globe are taking action for fair and competitive financial services.
CHOICE is calling on the government to require banks to give consumers a standardised annual statement of the cost of their bank account, including all fees and charges.
The People's Watchdog is also updating, on a daily basis, their 'Compare, Ditch and Switch' website to make it easy for consumers to select the account that is best for them.

The worst type of discrimination is always the kind that is being directed at you. Trying to answer the question as to which minority group suffers most from discrimination is like trying to decide whether childbirth or passing a kidney stone is the most painful. The answer depends whether you are in labor or in the throes of passing a stone. That is why it is difficult to determine which racial or ethnic group suffers the most harm from the exclusionary and judgmental practices born of discrimination. It is difficult to be a competent judge when deciding who is suffering the most pain, but we can consider some very real facts.
According to the Sentencing Project's 2007 report, there are 2.2 million people in prison in the U.S. and 41 percent of them are black. The Bureau of Justice Statistics predicts that if current trends continue, one in three black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime. Hispanics comprised 20 percent of the state and federal prison population, a rise of 43 percent since 1990. As a result of these trends, one of every six Hispanic males can expect to go to prison in his lifetime. While the disparity is obvious in both groups, Hispanic men are still only half as likely to be incarcerated as black men.
According to 2010 U.S. Census figures, in 2009 12.3 percent of white people lived below the poverty line compared to 25.8 percent of African-Americans, 12.5 percent of Asian Americans and 25.3 percent of Hispanic Americans. Again, African Americans edged out the other groups proving they are the most deprived population currently living in our country.
The FBI reports that in 2010 there were 3,949 victims of racially motivated hate crimes. A closer examination of this data showed that 70.0 percent were victims of an offender's anti-black bias, 17.7 percent were victims of an anti-white bias, 5.1 percent were victims of an anti-Asian/Pacific Islander bias, and 1.2 percent were victims of an anti-American Indian/Alaskan Native bias.
In 1999, Alabama became the last state to repeal an anti-miscegenation law that banned black and white people from marrying. Oddly, the black/white pairing is the only one that was thought to be so egregious that it had to be made illegal under the laws of most southern states.
There is endless evidence that the African American community is more disadvantaged than any other. The rate of unemployment, high school dropouts, unwed mothers, crime, and substance abuse are all higher in the black community than in any other. Sadly, there is a plethora of evidence to bear out the contention that racism against African-Americans remains more virulent, pervasive, and damaging than against any other group.
The question lingers however, as to why this is the case. Perhaps it is because African Americans are the only group that has ever been enslaved on American soil. Although undocumented Hispanics have been referred to as America's "new Negroes" due to their willingness to work at rates below minimum wage, the savagery associated with slavery has not been visited upon the new workers. Somehow, because they volunteer to work for little they must seem less repugnant to racists than those who were forced to work for free.
In 100 Years of Lynchings (1988), Ralph Ginzburg informs us that it was not until 1952 that the practice of lynching blacks was halted. From the time the first slave ship arrived on the Virginia shore in 1662 to the mid twentieth century it was thought to be perfectly okay to torture and kill black people without being punished for it. This is not a legacy that can simply be switched off once the laws are changed. The notion that somehow this history is justified still lives today in the hearts and minds of some.
In a speech given May 27, 1961 Robert Kennedy predicted that so much progress was being made in the area of civil rights that, "There's no question that in the next 30 or 40 years a Negro can achieve the position of President of the United States." Although Kennedy's prediction was close to correct, he likely did not anticipate how much discrimination would still be leveled at a black President.
The book The Persistence of the Color Line (2011) by Randall Kennedy details the nature of the radical opposition to Barack Obama's presidency. From the depiction of Obama as a Reverend Wright militant, to the "why can't they all be more like him" lament, Kennedy explains the fear that Obama inspires. Once black folks have a legitimate leader they may decide to rise up and take revenge for historical wrongs.
The most difficult question to be answered when comparing racism against blacks to all other groups is this. Do blacks deserve to take the brunt of more discrimination than other groups? Of course not, you proclaim! That answer comes to you quickly because you are not an entrenched racist. If your father was quick to find fault with dark skinned people, and you believe his teachings have served you well, you might choose to think that the plight of the African American community is due to their own failings. You can point to the very same facts that blacks owe to racism such as high incarceration and poverty rates, to proclaim that there is an inherent flaw in the people.
America has more to feel guilty about when considering the historical and contemporary treatment of black people than for any other miscarriage of justice in our country's history. Americans dislike experiencing the discomfort of guilty feelings. They would do most anything to make them go away. In the case of discrimination towards blacks, they can either quit discriminating or rationalize the behavior as deserved.
So which of these strategies is the easiest to employ?

Ok please excuse my ignorance if I am oblivious to something here....but isn't the P9HST1 round very popular and sought after, almost coveted among many 9mm shooters for SD?
The reason I ask is I have been watching the internet for weeks now with the ammo shortage and keep seeing a few sellers (bulkammo, luckygunner and ammoforsale) having this round in stock. Now I know that $36 a box is about at least $10 high but what isn't high right now?
Can anyone explain to me why this popular ammo is still available while just about everything else in the world is completely gone when it comes to 9mm?

Though it does not officially hold the closing slot in the Paris Fashion Week calendar and hence month-long sojourn (that everyone-is-already-checking-in-at-Charles-du-Galle honor falls this season to South Korean designer Lie Sang Bong), nor does Madame Miuccia herself hold a passeport Francais, the Miu Miu show nonethelss acts, season in, season out like a farewell assembly. Editors, buyers, blogger and friends strut their last on the sidewalks before street style photographers allow pedestrian activity to resume as normal, enough goodbye-see-you-next-season air kisses to turn the arms of Lagerfeld's wind turbines at yesterday's Chanel show and one last chance to air out that final fashion week outfit (or succumb to the horror of an end-of-season-suitcase repeat). Thus it was that this afternoon Madame Prada decided to make it official by staging her show at the United Nations General Assembly. All key international players present and accounted for? Yes. Cameras, iPads and pens at the ready? Double yes. And so the closing proceeding that is Miu Miu began beneath the gathering Parisian clouds, led by fashion's Italian ambassadress of chic.
It started out blissfully stark. Somber and respectful, as if not to trivialise the seriousness of the locale, the Miu Miu girl this season is perhaps the daughter of a stylish ambassadress. She raids her powerful mother's closet for sophisticated staples, which are a little too big on her when she slips into them, yet she makes them her own by way of styling and accessories. Gone were the Peter Pan collars and kitschy accessories, we were a far cry from the "kawaii-zen" aesthetic piloted ten days ago in Milan at Prada mainline. The opening looks saw an almost wartime paring down of beautifully cut sapphire wool-silk blend sultry separates: not-too-form fitting pencil skirts worn with relaxed jackets and coats over white fluttering bralettes and pretty plain pumps. Then there came painted sprays of print across loose-fitting skirt suits, crumpled in finish yet polished by the presence of leather gloves. Speaking of leather, polished, patent versions of the stuff in muted dusk and white constituted a heavier take on summer separates whilst lightweight coats printed, solid and satin, billowed open robe-style clinching their role as the collection's most emphasized if not slightly out of season garment.
As for accessories, remember the Prada fox fur stoles that, er, stole the hearts and accessory budgets of fashion aficionados circa Spring/Summer 2011? Miuccia Prada certainly does, as an even bigger and better returned to the runway of the second line awash in ikat prints. The slabs of fur were slung block-like, slung haphazardly over shoulders and added an element of old world glamour with a modern sensibility to each of the many outfits they accompanied. Bags were flat and envelope-style, a new shape, though perhaps not suitable for carrying much more than an iPad whilst footwear alternated between simple flat sandals and classic pumps in either elegant black or pretty pastels. Suffice it to say, by the time Miuccia took her bow and the assembly was dismissed, fashion's road-weary diplomats were ready to return to their respective countries in happy concord that the assembly that has been Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2013 was as up to as chic a scratch as ever with Miu Miu last but certainly not least.

Recent data suggest the involvement of both the adaptive and the innate immune system in celiac disease (CD). However, little is known about the immune phenotype of children with CD and its alteration upon dietary intervention.
We characterized the prevalence of major interacting members of the adaptive and innate immune system in peripheral blood of newly diagnosed children with CD and tested its alteration with the improvement of clinical signs after the introduction of gluten-free diet (GFD).
Peripheral blood was taken from ten children with biopsy-proven CD at the time of diagnosis and after the resolution of clinical symptoms following GFD. As controls, 15 children with functional abdominal pain were enrolled. The prevalence of the cells of adaptive and innate immunity was measured with labeled antibodies against surface markers and intracellular FoxP3 using a flow cytometer.
Patients with CD were found to have lower T helper, Th1 and natural killer (NK), NKT and invariant NKT cell prevalence and with higher prevalence of activated CD4+ cells, myeloid dendritic cells (DC) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR-4 positive DCs and monocytes compared to controls. After resolution of symptoms on GFD, the majority of these changes normalized, although the prevalence of NK and NKT cell, DC and TLR-2 expressing DCs and monocytes remained abnormal.
The immune phenotype in childhood CD indicates the implication of both adaptive and innate immune system. The normalization of immune abnormalities occurs on GFD, but the kinetics of this process probably differs among different cell types.

Part of the fun of Camp Four Echoes is our unique and varied sleeping accommodations. Check them all out!
Sky Meadows, our teepee unit, consists of five teepees that accommodate six campers each.
Each treehouse cabin houses six campers, totaling 24 campers in this unit. Plexiglas skylights and a spiral staircase are unique features of these accommodations. To exit the cabin, climb down one of the spiral staircases. This unit has electricity in the unit's community shelter (not the individual cabins). Smugglers also has its own beach and dock.
Each unit consists of five cabins, with each cabin sleeping six campers. These were some of the first cabins built in 1996 to replace the original platform tents.
Each of our chalets are painted a different color and each sleeps six. A swagman is an Australian laborer who carries all his belongings in a bundle as he travels from place to place.
Sequoia consists of five gazebos that house three campers each. Counsleors-In-Training usually occupy these residences. The top half of the gazebos are screened windows with canvas covers that roll up and down.

Justin Bieber, wearing overalls, posed with Prime Minister Stephen Harper after receiving his Diamond Jubilee award in Ottawa on Nov. 24.
Justin Bieber is normally overly cute and adorable, but during a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Justin failed to show class or respect.
"I met the Prime Minister in overalls lol," Justin tweeted on Nov. 24.
It's one thing to be in a rush and accidentally have a bad outfit on during an important event, but the fact that Justin made note of his wardrobe misstep and added a "lol" shows that he really may be too immature for Selena Gomez. (That's just my opinion.)
How do YOU feel, HollywoodLifers?

Yes Chris, We Beliebers were just as shocked, however a day later Justin has tweeted his displeasure with Hayley Peterson of The Daily Mail & explained on Instagram too! My version of events would be as follows —-
The Canadian Prime Minister came crawling to Justin (not the other way round) while he was taking a break backstage! He was the star performer at Toronto's GREY CUP football match!
Caught completely by surprise at a "football arena", Justin was not expecting this award and didnt have a suit ready! Come on, be realistic, how do football fans dress these days – in a suit, in a tux with a bowtie?
Also the Canadian flags in background make it seem like he's on stage in front of huge audience, but actually its fake media props – there's nobody there at all except the cameras – so there's no prestigious event taking place and no "disrespect".
If anything, the PM should have officially invited Justin to his office? But look who's more busy and more important these days!
Also, Justin joked about it because he has a great sense of humor (unlike the media) He is the kind of guy who will probably make amends, even when it was not his fault. I'm sure next time he meets this PM he will fall on one knee or something like that – to show sincere respect and set the record straight !!!

Well at least Selena Gonez would've worn better clothes! It's disrespectful to meet a world leader wearing overalls. Yeah sure Stephen Harper may not be as big as other but it's a first impression of respect and Bieber did not show that. Like seriously… Overalls…. Sure he looks "cute" and so what if its staged…
The picture is going to be released in the Internet, newspapers to be viewed by millions of people all over the world. So it's expected people will criticize his clothes. I mean he is suppose to meet the Prime Minister, not look like he works at an auto shop. He's got tons of clothes and he couldn't take the time to pick something… presentable?

wow,seriously? Selena Gomez chooses what she will like to choose. I am currently a fan of both of the amazing stars. You have no say in what selena deserves or doesn't deserve,she made her finally choice and that's what she did was breaking up with Justin because she didn't have trust in him texting and calling all these others girls and him kissin them,too. I'm sure she was quite jealous in her certain way. She felt what she felt. K? thanks for your time and cooperation reading this.

Determining Degree of Polarization
Name: Kelsey Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: NE Country: N/A Date: April 2006
Which is more polar water or methanol? How do you know? How can you find out?
Water is more polar than methanol, and I believe is THE most polar solvent. Polarity of a solvent is proportional to the overal dipole of the molecule and dielectric constant, which can be found in the CRC Handbook, or charts like the one listed on this website:
Matt Voss
Unfortunately, "polarity" is one of those chemical terms that is often used carelessly and/or ambiguously. For example, liquid 'A' has a higher boiling (melting) point than liquid 'B'. Therefore, 'A' is more polar than 'B'. In reality boiling (melting) points are a function of many factors. To confuse matters more, "polarity" is sometimes confused with the term "polarizability" which resembles the term "polarity" but is entirely different. First, I will describe "polarizability" although that is not what you asked about, but we need to get it "out of the way".
Polarizability describes the response a molecule experiences when subjected to an external electric field. It pops up in the description of many physical phenomena -- index or refraction, dielectric constant, long range electronic interactions such as van der Waals constants, Raleigh scattering -- is a short list. Qualitatively, it measures "how squishy" the electrons in an atom or molecule are. So for example SCS (carbon disulfide) and OCO (carbon dioxide) are both linear molecules so neither have an electric dipole moment, but the polarizability of SCS and OCO is 8.74 and 2.911, respectively. The units of polarizability have the curious units of 10^-24 cm^3 -- the same units as volume. But that is a result of some fortuitous cancellation of units. Carbon disulfide is a lot more "squishy" than carbon dioxide. The polarizability of water and methanol is 1.45 and 3.29 in the same curious units, respectively. So methanol is more electronically "squishy" than water. Even atoms have "polarizabilities" even though they are spherically symmetric. For example, He and Xe have polarizabilities of 0.2 and 4.0 respectively (again in units of 10^-24 cm^3).
Now on to your question. More commonly, the term "polarity" refers to the permanent asymmetrical distribution of electric charge in a molecule. Linear and/or spherically symmetric molecules have zero dipole moment, as a result of their high symmetry. So atoms and linear molecules have zero permanent electric dipole moments. In the case of water and methanol the dipole moments are 1.855 and 1.70 respectively. The units here are in Debye units. In SI units 1 D = 3.336x10^-30 Coulomb*meters (qualitatively "charge" x "distance). The conversion is so one sided because the Coulomb is a large amount of charge relatively speaking and the meter is a large distance on the molecular scale. So water has the larger permanent electric dipole moment but the average electron cloud is more rigid than methanol as reflected by the smaller polarizability of water vs. methanol.
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has rather large tables of both electric dipole moments and polarizabilities. In addition, a "Google" search on those terms will lead you to discussions from the very basic to the very complicated, depending upon how deeply you wish to probe the topics.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Secretary of State Husted Honors Four Outstanding Poll Workers for Their Service to Ohio
Columbus – Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted today awarded four Ohio precinct election officials with "Red Carpet Awards" for their dedication to running good elections in their communities. It takes approximately 40,000 poll workers to manage polling places on any given Election Day in Ohio, and these four individuals represent the cream of the crop:
Jean Vendetti a Democrat from Ashtabula County, Josh Spengler, a Republican from Fairfield County, Madelyn Damiano, a Democrat from Mahoning County, and Lois Clark, a Republican from Ashtabula County.
Jean Vendetti a Democrat from Ashtabula County,
Josh Spengler, a Republican from Fairfield County,
Madelyn Damiano, a Democrat from Mahoning County, and
Lois Clark, a Republican from Ashtabula County.
"Poll workers are on the frontlines of every election and play a tremendous role in ensuring Ohio voters can cast their ballots with ease and integrity," Secretary Husted said. "Poll workers certainly don't do their jobs for the pay or the glory, but I want to be sure they know how much we appreciate their service."
Upon his election, Secretary Husted instituted the Precinct Election Official "Red Carpet Award" in an effort to recognize the service and dedication of poll workers throughout Ohio. This program is part of his ongoing work to aid Ohio's 88 boards of elections with the recruitment, training and retention of good elections officials. Awardees are nominated by boards of election and chosen annually by the Secretary of State's office.
For more information on the Secretary of State's poll worker program or to learn about becoming a precinct election official in Ohio, please visit www.PEOinOhio.com.
For more information, please contact Alexis Zoldan at (614) 995-2239.
The Ashtabula County Board of Elections nominated Jean Vendetti. Jean has been a precinct election official for more than 30 years and has been one of the most dedicated precinct election officials for Ashtabula County. She is instrumental in operating her polling location on Election Day. She is efficient, dedicated, conscientious and hardworking.
The Fairfield County Board of Elections submitted Josh Spengler as their PEO Red Carpet nominee. In addition to being a presiding judge for Fairfield County, Josh serves as staff sergeant with the Air Force Reserve. Staff Sergeant Spengler has served as a crew chief for the past six years. He is employed by Chipotle Corporation as a Payroll System Analyst and is active in many organizations.
The Mahoning County Board of Elections nominated Madelyn Damiano for PEO Red Carpet recognition. Madelyn became a precinct election official when John F. Kennedy served as President of the United States. She worked as a presiding judge until she was 84 and has stayed on to serve as a judge in the elections ever since. Madelyn serves as a faithful and dedicated precinct election official, only calling off once during her 52 years of service.
Lois Clark has been a precinct election official for more than 30 years, holding the positions of presiding judge and judge. Lois is efficient in her responsibilities as a precinct election official. She plans ahead to visit the polling location the day before the election to check on the set up and arrangement of the room.

Perhaps, but section B of the local code makes no mention of hunting. It simply says posses, transport and carry.
The portion of state code I put in red is an exception to the firearms on school property that specifically says in a motor vehicle while using a vehicular egress. No mention is made of being on foot like in this case. That tells me our guy here is in violation of at least the local code as it is written.

Electric guitar case will play your iPod
It even has built-in speakers, for some unknown reason.
It's the next logical step, we suppose, in the guitar mania that's sweeping our culture: an electric guitar case that doubles as an iPod speaker dock. The "Gator Lightweight Electric Guitar Case" has two built-in battery-powered speakers and a clear pouch on the side to hold a media player, according to Red Ferret. For those who really must have keep their guitars at the ready this much, however, it might be worth considering a model that folds away for easier stowing.

UK Nautical Miles
Nautical miles measure distance. 1 nautical mile is the angular distance of 1 minute of arc on the earth's surface. As these differ slightly (6108' at pole c.f. 6046' at equator) 6080 was adopted (this being it's approximate value in the English Channel). The International nautical mile is 1852 metres, so is very slightly different from the UK nautical mile.

John Lennon was a closet Republican, who felt a little embarrassed by his former radicalism, at the time of his death – according to the tragic Beatles star's last personal assistant.
Fred Seaman worked alongside the music legend from 1979 to Lennon's death at the end of 1980 and he reveals the star was a Ronald Reagan fan who enjoyed arguing with left-wing radicals who reminded him of his former self.
In new documentary Beatles Stories, Seaman tells filmmaker Seth Swirsky Lennon wasn't the peace-loving militant fans thought he was while he was his assistant.
He says, "John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on (Democrat) Jimmy Carter.
It's almost enough to make you wonder if Mark Chapman was a patsy.

If you're not a leftie at 20, you have no heart. If you're still a leftie at 40, you have no brain. Maybe he took his own advice. Unfortunately, Yoko prefers to maintain and sell the Imagine image of John Lennon's identity.

I've got no problem with someone being fabulously wealthy, and enforcing their copyright rights. Just don't then go around and tell me to have no possessions and to give away all my money to the "less fortunate."

Two thoughts:
1) If true, this would mean John was the smart one (or at least a co-smart one with George).
2) There's a difference between voting for Reagan because Carter blows, and voting for Reagan because you believe in what he believes, his policies, et al. It is a little more energetic than just not voting for Carter, of course.
John Lennon was, in my opinion, a great musician, and my "like-o-meter" for him has been on the low side because of his (apparent? until now?) political, etc, leanings (I know Jay Nordlinger over at National Review says to keep artistic enjoyment unpolluted by political considerations, but I can't). Maybe I'll have an opportunity to reconsider.
June 29, 2011 - 10:40 am Link to this Comment | Reply-
As far as "keeping artistic enjoyment unpolluted by political considerations" goes, I can only do it with the artists cooperation. I used to be a big Nine Inch Nails fan. Had no idea what Trent Reznor's political views were during the nineties and that was fine.
Then George W. Bush became president. Reznor got himself a case of the derangement syndrome. Tried to pull a Sinead O'Connor at some MTV awards show by having a giant picture of Bush behind them while playing 'Bite the Hand That Feeds', but the MTV execs said no so he declined to be on the show. Etcetera. Now I can't help but look for political opinions in their lyrics, because I just don't like being fed such crap. Who knows maybe I can listen to whatever they come out with during 2008-2012.June 29, 2011 - 3:11 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

There's definitely a dichotomy in his lyrics. As a fan, listening to lyrics like the ones cited above by Thomas_L…… from 'Revolution' are great! But a couple of weeks ago, I was listening to 'John Lennon: Live In New York City' and I wanted to chuck my iPod at a wall. Strange things going on between his public persona and some of his lyrics (the content & timing) throughout his life and what his personal assistant had to say.

I'm not their fucking parents, that's what it is. They come to the door with a fucking peace symbol and expect to just sort of march around the house or something, like an old Beatle fan.

I always loved the Beatles. John Lennon was my favorite; for being the smart one. And funny. Micky Dolenze was my favorite Monkee; for being the funny one. And the drummer. I remember an episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati," where Mr. Carlson argued with a Jerry Falwell type, about the lyric for "Imagine." The Falwell type rejected it, on grounds of being "communism." The audience laughed, and so did I. After I started to read the likes of Rand, and Coulter, and Hazlitt, I had to wonder why I laughed. You know why? Because I was taught in school to laugh at things like that.
That's why, when my mom would express her fears about the communists taking over America, I also laughed. Because I was taught in school they didn't really exist. Not in this country they didn't. In small numbers, sure, but nothing to worry about. Well guess what! What's more, my mom voted Democrat all her life! Is this a joke? Or is it a sick joke?
Now mom is long gone. The commies have been voted into the White House. And John Lennon is even longer gone than mom. I use to agree with Mr. Carlson, that the lyric merely said "imagine" these things. No need to take it literally. Now I do. And I fear it is too late. I feel like a chump. A victim of the "comprachicos of the mind." Based on what I read, these "comprahicos" were mild compared to now. The schools just keep cranking out the clone-drones. Skeptics who fall for anything. I would like to write some more, about what Lennon wrote, and what he said he believed, but I can't find the punch line on this one, and it's downer enough. But for what it's worth; John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, said he shot Lennon because he "talked like a socialist, but lived like a capitalist." Commies.

In his book The Art of Happiness, the Dalai Lama says, "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." We know that love can come in all different forms, regardless of the day, but we're especially cognizant of it with Valentine's Day on the way.

gTLD Reveal Day: Google applies for over 100 extensions including .lol, 13 companies fight for .app, Apple is happy with .apple
Posted By Godwin On June 13, 2012 @ 12:14 PM In World Wide Web | 7 Comments
[1]As expected and explained in an earlier post [2], ICANN has published the list of applications for new gTLD strings (new domain extensions) on 13 June 2012. All who were concerned about domains in any way have been looking forward to see what the big corporates and organizations have been wanting to acquire. ICANN's list makes public information regarding the extension applied for, applicant name, location, primary contact, e-mail id and application id of all the applicants.
App (.app) turned out to be the most sought after extension, with thirteen different companies, including Amazon and Google, applying for it. As expected Microsoft, Apple, and Google applied for .microsoft, .apple, and .google respectively along with dozens of other companies applying for extensions bearing their names. Google applied for a total of 101 gTLDs – three of which are .lol, .youtube, and .docs – while interestingly Apple applied for just one gTLD: .apple. Amazon applied for 76 extensions including .music, .mail, and .buy. At the same time, Microsoft has applied for 11 strings including .windows, .microsoft, and .live.
There, of course, are plenty of clashes with multiple organizations/people applying for the same extensions, with .app emerging the most wanted as mentioned above. ICANN has stated in the case of multiple applicants for the same domain extension, "community-based" applications (i.e. applicants that represent a group of companies or people, as opposed to just one) will be given priority; if there are no community-based applicants, ICANN will ask all the applicants to try to work a deal out amongst themselves; if a deal cannot be reached, domain extensions will be sold in an auction which will likely result in domain extensions going for seven figures or more.
The complete list of new gTLD applications can be accessed and extensions can be searched for at the link below:

Betting the 76th Masters – Matchups and Odds
Its two days until they ring the bell at Augusta and we've updated the odds to win with at look at matchups and some of the other golf betting options offered at sportsbooks
Lee Westwood is favored fifth overall but said that he feels this year's Masters is much more than a two-horse race
The first major of the season often marks the beginning of PGA betting for a lot of players and now that Tiger Woods has a win under his belt, he's getting attention for the right reasons once again.
Tiger has not won at Augusta since 2005 but he's literally favored by every online sportsbooks in the world and the ballpark price is just over 5 to 1 odds. We covered the top favorites last month in our 2012 Masters Odds feature and there have been a few subtle adjustments, notably with Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Tiger was 4 to 1 on March 26 while McIlroy paid back at +597. Current prices are +503 and +606, respectively, and a lot of that can be attributed to Phil Mickelson's 130-point shift up to +1115.
The two biggest moves up the ladder belong to Adam Scott (+2757 from +3032) and Keegan Bradley (+3089 from +4041). Bradley has finished top 20 in eight of nine events this year with his best finish coming last weekend at the Shell Houston Open (12-under, T-4). It's his first time at the Masters but Bradley won the PGA Championship last year in his first go there.
Bradley is offered in Masters Matchups vs. Justin Rose (-124), Hunter Mahan (+102) and Adam Scott (-118). Tough competition to be sure, but Bradley plays his first two rounds with defending Masters Champ, Charl Schwartzel (+4085).
Downward golf betting trends belong to Lee Westwood (+1970 from +1617) and Schwartzel (+4085 from +3536). Westwood has taken a bit of a backseat to the McIlroy, Mickelson and Woods parade this week but the World No. 3 did finish second here in 2010 and he's looked fairly consistent this year.
Westwood's only four matchups are against the Big 4 (Donald) but odds on finishing top 5 (+372) are worth strong consideration. Westwood was 11th in 2011 and this will be his 13th appearance at Augusta but he is yet to win any major championship.
It's almost impossible to ignore the hype surrounding Tiger Woods at this year's Masters and with four green jackets hanging in his closet, Woods certainly deserves recognition. But from a handicapping standpoint, there are a few things to consider before placing any serious wagers.
First, remember that three of Tiger's four wins at Augusta were between 1997 and 2002. That means from 2003 to now he has just one, and it was in 2005. Tiger has lost nearly 20 yards off his drive from the heyday, hits two fewer fairways per day and reaches fewer greens in regulation, which is a key stat at Augusta.
Bottom line is his stats on par 3, 4 and 5's have fallen off the primetime days and bettors need to make sure they keep that in mind when pricing Woods against opponents with considerable talent.
Augusta may have the most difficult winds to judge out of all courses in the world but as of Tuesday, it looks like precipitation could be bigger concern. The course is already soft from rain over the past weekend and there is a 50-percent chance of showers on Thursday and Friday. The weekend looks good with highs in the 70's and 5-10 mph winds but check tee-times and give extra consideration to those teeing off early in the day.
Tom Watson once said that for the life of him, he couldn't figure out how the winds at Augusta could change so dramatically from one hole to the next
Dustin Johnson, the 12th ranked golfer in the world, has withdrawn from the Masters with an undisclosed injury. It reduces this year's field to 96 players.
Other betting options for this year's Masters include top 5/10/20 finish, group betting and straight-up prices on whether or not golfers will make the cut. Online sportsbooks also offer a wide selection of general props and it's worth taking some time to get familiar.
