Make Your Own Iced Coffee
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, No-Cook Choices, August 4, 2009
Sipping on a tall cup of iced coffee is definitely refreshing in the summer heat, but load it up with creamy and sugary add-ins and your drink can rack up the fat and calories. Here's the skinny on creating a lighter iced coffee and more on one hot trend for making a cup of Joe: cold brewing.
Old School: Healthy Brews
Like many people, my daily routine includes a morning cup of coffee. When I switched from store-bought to homemade, I was shocked at how much money I saved. Instead of spending $3 a pop at the coffee shop, I buy an entire container of high-quality, fair trade coffee beans (Trader Joe's French Roast is my favorite). That's 2 weeks worth of coffee for less than $7! To stretch my dollars even further, I move what's leftover in my coffee pot to the fridge to save for an afternoon iced coffee.
Black coffee is extremely low in calories — one cup has about 2. Order up a large iced coffee with cream and sugar, and all of the sudden you're gulping hundreds of calories and between 5 to 15 grams of fat (each tablespoon of cream has 30 calories, 3 grams of fat and 2 grams of saturated fat). To slim down your drink, choose low-fat or non-fat dairy (1% milk works well) and go easy on the sugar.
Whether you pour in granulated sugar or opt for "shots" of flavored syrups (sugar in liquid form), you're adding 15 calories per teaspoon. A light sprinkle of sugar is fine, but if you're really after some extra flavor, choose a roast where the flavor has been mixed into the coffee beans and then you don't have to turn to the syrups. Other low calorie options include cinnamon, vanilla and unsweetened cocoa powder. Sugar substitutes — you know, the little pink, yellow and blue packets — are calorie-free but aren't necessarily the healthier choice, especially if you eat them in large quantities. (Read more about the dangers associated with overdoing sugar substitutes.)
And while some might argue that caffeine is bad for you, coffee is actually rich in a wide variety of antioxidants — java drinkers may have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and other inflammatory conditions.
New School: Cold Brewing
The classic way to make iced coffee is to chill a fresh-brewed pot and pour it over ice — a new trend, however, lets folks ditch the coffeemaker altogether. Cold-brewing systems use less energy, and loyal fans say they make a more flavorful, less acidic cup of Joe. By cold-brewing ground coffee beans, you create a concentrated coffee extract (most machines require overnight steeping). Then, just add hot or cold water to the extract in the morning for a fresh cup. Cold-brewing aficionados and product manufacturers also promise that the extract will stay fresh in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Most cold-brewed java comes from a machine, but I did dig up some simple instructions for making cold brew on your own (I haven't had a chance to try this yet; I'd love to hear from folks who have). Basically, you combine coarsely ground coffee with water (1 part coffee to 4 parts water) in a large pitcher. Let it sit overnight and strain through a fine strainer.
- Iced Coffee Tips:
- Brew your coffee a bit stronger than usual; the added ice cubes can dilute the flavor as they melt.
- Freeze chilled coffee in ice cube trays and use them instead of plain ice cubes.
- Let warm-brewed coffee cool to room temperature before you put it in the fridge.
- Recipes to try:
- Iced Coffee Cubes
- Iced Coffee
- Hazelnut Iced Coffee

I love iced coffee. Reading all these recipes makes me hungry for a big tall glass. I leave out the sugar & creamer. Don't need the calories. I too just do it the easy way, however, will have to try a lot of the ideas i have just read. Thanks to everyone who gave their ideas, I will be trying many of them……..
I try not to skip breakfast in the mornings…and I am more into healthy eating/snacking and exercising…not dieting. Some mornings though you just NEED that coffee kick and taste. So here is my homemade coffee drink…. 8 oz milk, 1 scoop slim fast vanilla, and 2 tablespoons ( or more depending on your strength desired). Mix and add ice. If I have extra time I blend it for a smoothie texture. ENJOY!
At the coffee shop I used to work at, we would pour hot water over coffee grounds and let that drip into a big pitcher that was half-full with ice. this produced very flavorful iced coffee! At the shop I work at now, we just grind our beans like for a french press, fill the pitcher with cold water, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit overnight. I actually prefer the hot water method because it produces much faster and tastier results. And a lot of people freak out about us leaving a pitcher of room temperature water sitting on the counter overnight to be served to customers the next day. . .something about breeding bacteria. I'm not a germophobe, but the "leave it sitting overnight at room temp on the kitchen counter" method makes me cringe a little.
At home, I prefer to use my french press. I just use twice as much coffee as I normally would, grind it, put it in the press, pour hot but not quite boiling water over the grounds (about 190-200 degrees if you want to actually measure), let it sit for 4-ish minutes, and pour over ice. You can drink it immediately, but it tastes better if you let it chill in the refrigerator.
If you have heard about the recent research unfiltered coffee (like french press or cold press) contributing to higher cholesterol (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/0706… original study, but a reasonable media publication outlining the results), you can pour the hot brew through a paper coffee filter. The easiest way would be to use a cone filter and a funnel. -
Did anybody tried "Nescafe"? We used in southern europe for over 40 years. I was extrimely happy to see it in the supermarkets in USA for some years now. In a shaker put 1 tsp. of coffee, 1/2 tsp of raw sugar, and 1/3 cup of water. Shake well so the sugar will disolve. Pour it in a tall glass, add crushed ice, little milk and cold water and enjoy.
If there is an "IKEA" store near you, look for the battery operated mixer $2. 00 value. Instead of the shaker put the ingredients directly into you glass and mix. Instantly you have an iced coffee. Do not try this with other brands of instant coffe. The results are not the same. A $7.00 jar of coffee will be good for over three weeks. -
Our favorite, and easiest iced coffee. One pot of brewed coffee, let cool slightly. Pour into pitcher. Mix well with one can of non-fat sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk). Chill. Pour into tall glass and enjoy. For an extra treat add a scoop of Edy's Cappuccino Chocolate Chip frozen yogurt. Without the frozen yogurt it is a low-cal tasty iced coffee.
Love my iced coffee…………….leftover coffee from the day before ( refrigerated) , I just add non dairy creamer (( liquid, of course), and I'm good to go………….
Not long ago i needed to decrease on my own caffeine drinking nevertheless this excellent page tends to make me to wish I hadn't!
I do believe your personal reliable readers might effectively want much more effectively written posts like this continue the superb efforts.
Thank you discussing your thinking with this site.

I was recently struck by the fact that a person was having a hard time getting rid of bed bugs. When looking around the living area it became apparent to me that although this person thought they had de-cluttered and segregated everything well in fact they had not. The inhabitant had placed everything in boxes but the boxes were not sealed well and provided excellent hiding places (small cracks). In addition, every room was full of boxes.
So here are some things to remember:
The goal is to eliminate bed bugs, therefore the job has to be done right. Bed bugs are so small that they can live in very tinny cracks. Using pesticides as part of a control strategy must be done properly for the treatment to work. When a pesticide treatment does not completely control the bed bugs, there may be many reasons for this failure, including:
It is important to stay on top of the situation by constantly checking surveillance and monitoring efforts, to hire trained, experienced, and reputable pest management professionals, and to use a complete approach. You may wish to choose different types of pesticides for sequential treatments or you may wish to use pesticide materials that insects have not yet been reported to become resistant to, such as diatomaceous earth, in combination with other control techniques.
Does the cold kill bed bugs?
The short answer is "yes", but really it's not an effective method depending on the situation. It has to stay below freezing for a week. Let us set the stage, in the dead of winter, in a storage unit that isn't heated, it gets below and stays below freezing sure it might work. However, the conditions have to be perfect. Solar loading during the day can heat it up again above freezing. Trying to maintain the perfect conditions are almost impossible and the freezing method via mother nature takes a long time. Not just an hour, but a week. The colder the better and the quicker they die but it still takes time. If you live in the north and there's a hard cold snap (this means its super cold, well below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, for 24 hours a day for a week) it could work. Now let's set expectations, People who live in the South consider a hard freeze around 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or at least my weatherman does, which is not the same as what a Northerner considers a hard freeze. Turning your heat off in your home and letting your pipes burst is not a viable option. So don't do it. Some companies do use super cold generators to freeze the bed bugs but as I have written previously every single bug and egg needs to be touched to kill it when using super cooling generators or chemicals. Using cold is doable if you can take the infested items outside and leave them to freeze and can avoid solar loading. However, it's not a whole home remedy unless an exterminator comes with special equipment. See additional posts for other options.
Bring the Heat! Using heat to kill bed bugs or heat remediation is very effective and environmentally safe for your family, you and everyone one else in your household. Heat is the Achilles heal to these little buggers. Now everything depends on your situation but if you are not interested in using chemicals and want to be sure you get them all, heat if used properly, is very effective, efficient and safe. Bed bugs have not developed a resistance to heat like other bugs. Why should they, they live with us humans and we don't like it too hot either. Humans are not the only ones that have AC appreciation. I have in previous posts discussed how heat kills bed bugs. The kill zone is between 120 degrees for adult bed bugs and 140 degrees Fahrenheit for eggs for 20 to 60 minutes, respectively. The bottom line is that you will have to heat at 140 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes to kill all the eggs which require more time and heat to die. Just killing the adults won't cut it if the second generation is waiting in the folds of your mattress to come out and ruin your day. If you have a professional do this it's recommended that you get several free estimates and references. When deciding on a method review all your options and compare and contrast what works best for you and your budget. Read the other posts to help you make your decision.
There are countless methods, chemicals and gimmicks on the market to kill bed bugs. According to the EPA there are approximately 300 plus registered products under the bed bug chemical treatment category. Of course, what the effectiveness is something that needs to be considered. Is it a 10 to 10 ratio or a 1 in every 10 kill ratio. How exactly does the product need to be applied? Here come the conditions. Under perfect circumstances the kill ratio is probably much higher and effective. Isn't there always a catch?
When using chemicals of any kind consider that the instructions should be followed to the letter. Never use outdoor chemicals indoors. Consider sensitive groups within your home, such as young children and older adults. People with certain health conditions can be very sensitive to any chemicals. Although many consumer products exist this might be one area where you should consult a professional. A single fogger will have very little impact on a bed bug infestation. It will bother you more than the bed bugs. Bed bugs are constantly adapting to the new chemicals. There anthem is "we will over come". They are resilient and want to stay with us. They are very hard to get rid of. If you choose to use chemicals the steps outlined in the home article should be followed. If you think "spray and forget" will work you will be very upset to find new bites on you in the morning. Getting rid of bed bugs by yourself is a job all by itself. If you know your on the lazy side, just admit it up front and call a professional. If you are a solid dedicated worker then maybe you can do it. The choice is yours.
If you choose to accept this mission, the EPA has a site dedicated to product research. Bed Bug Product Search Tool. It will not-self destruct in 10 seconds and neither will the bed bugs.

Eggs Benedict, Lightened Up
by Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, May 9, 2012Eggs Benedict is my all time favorite breakfast, but it can be a bit heavy. Here's a traditional recipe with a few healthy twists.
Nutrition Facts
An order of Eggs Benedict at IHOP has 1020 calories and almost 60 grams of fat – and those aren't even the most outrageous numbers I've seen. Large portions of meat and gobs of buttery sauces are mostly to blame.
Healthy Tips
There are some healthy elements to this dish. Since the eggs are poached they are cooked without fat and Canadian bacon is a much leaner choice than regular bacon. To make things even more nutritious, use whole grain English muffins and add some fresh veggies to the mix. Depending on what's in season choose from baby spinach, sauteed mushrooms or a thick slice of fresh heirloom tomato.
Eggs Benedict wouldn't be the same without a creamy hollandaise sauce. Keeping portions to 1 tablespoon per person only adds 59 calories and 6 grams of fat.
Healthy Eats' Eggs Benedict
Serves: 4
8 large eggs
4 whole wheat English muffins (8 halves)
8 thin slices Canadian
2 cups baby spinach leaves
4 tablespoons Food Network Kitchen's Hollandaise Sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
Use our tips for poaching eggs perfectly. While eggs are cooking, toast English muffins, heat Canadian bacon in a nonstick skillet, and prepare hollandaise sauce.
To assemble, top each English muffin with a slice of Canadian bacon, a few leaves of baby spinach and then the poached egg. Top each piece with ½ tablespoon hollandaise and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Schumacher Taken Out In Finals by U.S. Army Racing Teammate
COMMERCE, Ga., May 15, 2011 - U.S. Army Top Fuel driver Tony "The Sarge" Schumacher lost a close final round race here Sunday to his U.S. Army Racing teammate, Antron Brown, in the 31st annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway.
Schumacher posted a 3.905-second pass at 315.86 mph, but it was just off of Brown's 3.856-second run at 318.69 mph in his Matco Tools/U.S. Army dragster. It was Brown's second win of the season and his 11th career Top Fuel victory.
"It was a classic race between two great teams," said Schumacher, who remains winless at Atlanta Dragway. "The good news is the U.S. Army won with Antron as well. We were both very much Army Strong today."
Schumacher was off the starting line first with a sizzling .045-second reaction time, but Brown picked up the seven-time world champion at the eighth-mile mark and then moved on by for the victory. "Obviously, when you get to the finals, you always want to close the deal," said Schumacher. "But, we had a terrific day just the same. This is definitely a performance we can build on."
"We just kept creeping up on it all day and finally hit on the right combination against Tony," said Brown. "I'm happy we were able to deliver a win to our Soldiers. They do so much for us." On the way to his meeting with Brown, the Chicago-area resident knocked off Ike Maier,
Larry Dixon and his other Don Schumacher Racing teammate, Spencer Massey. "We had to get by some really tough competitors," said Schumacher. "Dixon and Spencer are extremely tough outs as we all know. I'm very excited about the road ahead."
Schumacher's loss to Brown meant that Atlanta Dragway remains the only track on the NHRA schedule where he has failed to collect a trophy. "I guess the beat goes on," offered Schumacher. "We'll just have to wait until next year to give it another shot. We're not going to dwell on this by any means and, to be perfectly honest, it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things. We're already looking forward to getting to Topeka (Kan.) next weekend."
Schumacher, who remains fourth in the standings, and Brown, who jumped into second, will travel to Heartland Park Topeka, May 20-22, for the NHRA Summer Nationals. Schumacher is the defending event champion.
"Again, the future is very bright for the U.S. Army team," said Schumacher. "We're going to win our share of races. It's just a matter of time before we'll be hoisting a trophy in the winner's circle."
Over on the U.S. Army NASCAR Racing side, driver Ryan Newman secured a 21st-place finish in Sunday's FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover (Del.) International Speedway.
Newman will now compete in next Saturday night's Sprint Cup All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.

Time to rethink carbon policy
PUBLISHED: 07 May 2012 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 08 May 2012 09:46:26PUBLISHED: 07 May 2012 PRINT EDITION: 07 May 2012The Australian Financial Review
A key question concerning tomorrow's federal budget is whether the government will do anything to alleviate its problematic and unpopular carbon tax policy.
The government is in a bind because it locked itself into a carbon tax that is simply too high. Trading will start at $23 a tonne from July 1 this year and rise to $25.40 by 2014. By mid 2015, when the scheme shifts to emissions trading, the price is likely to fall to the legislated floor price of $15. In contrast, prices in the most directly comparable scheme, in Europe, are currently trading way below that; last week the price set by that scheme was just under €7 a tonne or about $9.
With the high Australian dollar squeezing non-mining sectors of the economy such as manufacturing, tourism and higher education, the carbon pricing policy is heading for trouble. For political reasons the Gillard government legislated a carbon pricing scheme that sets Australia ahead of the rest of the world. In doing so, it has increased the uncertainty about investment in both gas-fired and renewable energy given the likelihood of extreme fluctuation in the carbon price. Further, the high starting price makes the carbon trading scheme even more vulnerable to being repealed by an Abbott government.
This political vulnerability is now on a collision course with the need for fiscal consolidation as Prime Minister Julia Gillard seeks to use a supposedly tough budget to hand out cash to the key constituency of working families via a new bonus for families with children at school and the new carry back tax loss for business. These measures, aimed at shoring up political support, pay little heed to the need for productivity-enhancing reform, such as corporate tax reform to encourage investment, lower income tax rates to encourage enterprise, replacement of nuisance state taxes, and a higher and broader GST to help pay for it all.
As the Productivity Commission report, Barriers to Effective Climate Change Adaptation, released last month noted, the bulk of scientific evidence is that human made warming is real. But there is considerable scientific uncertainty about how this could unfold. And, as the report says, the prudent risk management approach would have been for the government to start with a low price and adjust the policy to circumstances. Focusing on how we can "adapt'' to climate change would also involve policies that would make the economy more flexible and able to adjust to both a carbon price and climate changes when they occur.
With a carbon price well above international levels and few other countries apparently prepared to follow the lead of either Europe or Australia, there is good reason to take another look at the proposals put forward by the Productivity Commission. These include replacing stamp duty on property with a broad-based land tax, revamping drought relief so that it is linked to farmers increasing their self-reliance, strengthening local government planning departments and not pretending that every household building in a flood zone has the right to be insured against flooding. These reforms would help the economy to adjust and provide greater economic benefits than a policy that will barely affect emissions worldwide until the rest of the major emission generating countries are prepared to act.

Oh, snap! And we're not just talking about the lack of a hinge here. Word of Nintendo's new budget-friendly non-foldable handheld gaming device gets the jokes flowing.
A Brigham Young study of nearly 500 families also finds that those students who engage with their parents online are more generous and kind to others.
Ordinary folks will have access to self-driving cars in the next few years, the Google cofounder said at a California bill signing today.
Consumer Watchdog says Google is going to go willy-nilly with data collection for autonomous vehicles, and the California bill shouldn't get the green light without more restrictions.
A Google rep tells an Assembly committee that if California passes a bill that removes the ability to have driverless cars eventually, the state is telling technology providers to take autonomous cars elsewhere.

(Wed., Oct. 20, 2010)—Mayor Peter Carlisle's inauguration ceremony will be held this Friday, Oct. 22, in the Mission Memorial Auditorium beside Honolulu Hale.
"I am deeply honored to serve as the 13th elected mayor of the City and County of Honolulu," Carlisle said. "Let's begin this exciting journey together."
Doors to the auditorium will open at 4 pm. Seating will be reserved for special guests, with additional seating available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration tables will be located at the entrance. A large tent will also be set up nearby and equipped with a wide screen television to accommodate the expected overflow of guests.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 5 pm, and will be broadcast live on `Olelo, Channel 49.
Hawaii Circuit Court Judge R. Mark Browning will administer the oath of office, and First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu Senior Pastor Dan Chun will deliver the invocation.
Jimmy Borges will perform the National Anthem, Cathy Foy will perform Hawai`i Pono`i, and Hula Halau Olana will present a Hawaiian cultural performance.
Free parking will be available after 4 pm in the Frank F. Fasi Civic Center Parking Structure, which may be entered from South Beretania or Alapai streets.
The Mission Memorial Auditorium is the red-brick, single-storey building closest to the Diamond Head side of Honolulu Hale.
The ceremony is not being held inside Honolulu Hale because the building's interior courtyard is being utilized as an early polling place for the Nov. 2 General Election.

*Bunny Drop Book 3 — Best of 2011
Posted in Manga Reviews on March 20, 2011 by Johannaby Yumi Unita
published by Yen Press; $12.99 US
Rin begins school in this volume, as her adoptive dad Daikichi continues to struggle with the day-to-day needs of parenting. (For more on this unusual family, see Book 1 and Book 2.)
The first chapter presents the concept of a memorial tree, a growing thing planted to mark a particular key point in a child's life. As the kid grows, so does the tree, giving the family a living marker of connection. Daikichi intends to plant a memorial tree to mark Rin's starting school, but that leads to additional questions, as she (and we) learn about his tree and whether one was planted to mark her birth by her deceased father. The tradition connects relatives across generations, as the same plant is chosen for its various good characteristics.
Even more so now that Rin's active and opening up, I love seeing her on the page. She's minimally but elegantly designed, with a focus on her eyes and simple flowing hair. It's refreshing to read about such an energetic, centered, determined child. Simply put, seeing her makes me happy.
She and her little friend Kouki are looking out for each other. Like many girls, Rin is the mature one, solving problems for him. Meanwhile, Daikichi thinks more about how to manage his work life (and budget) to be a responsible father, pointing out to himself (and thus us) how unsupportive culture can be of working parents. Rin's mother continues to be a supporting character, as Daikichi attempts to keep her aware of her child without giving her an opening to reclaim or hurt Rin. Daikichi also gets hit on by a new co-worker, who's portrayed in an unflattering fashion to get to the message that hurrying home to make dinner for his daughter is ultimately more enjoyable than meaningless dating.
This series is slice-of-life that's realistic for so many potential readers, but exactly the kind of thing you don't see in many American comics. (Those cartoonists who know parenting tend to be too busy to make them!) As Rin grows up, the potential for different kinds of stories — her school adventures, dad's workplace encounters, their family moments — increases, making for a very nice variety of reading in each volume.

Saturday Vigil Mass for Sunday "obligation/privilege."
Where is it written that explains or pronounces the "time" of a vigil Mass must be after a certain hour? IE, does a 2:30 pm Saturday afternoon Mass also count as your Sunday privilege? (I don't like the word obligation, it is a privilege to attend Mass)
Please give me links and cold hard facts!

The Veggie Table: How to Get More Whole Grains in Your Diet
by Janel Ovrut Funk in The Veggie Table, January 9, 2012We're teaming up with fellow food bloggers and healthy eating advocates to host a Healthy Every Week Challenge, a month-long initiative to develop healthy eating habits. The plan an is to develop a manageable healthy habit each week that will carry through the new year. Join us here and share what you're eating on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #gethealthy.
If you're following a vegetarian or vegan diet, chances are a good portion of your plate is already made up of grains. But the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that at least half of all the grains you eat are whole grains. What's so special about whole grains? They're naturally packed with high amounts of fiber, and micro-nutrients like folic acid, magnesium, and vitamin E. All grains are low in fat and cholesterol free, and they typically have between 5-10 grams of protein per cup, which is great new for those of us following a plant-based diet. All that fiber and protein in whole grains helps to fill us up and keep us satisfied, making them great for weight management. Better yet, they've been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Many people unnecessarily shy away from whole-grains because they're intimidated by less common varieties like triticale, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah, which is actually from the seed family), bulgur and barley or aren't sure how to cook them. But it's easier than ever to get more whole grains in your diet – even if you don't cook! Many food companies are catching on to the whole-grain trend and are selling pre-cooked whole grains, like Uncle Bens Whole-Grain Brown Ready Rice, Amy's Frozen Steel Cut Oats, or Trader Joe's prepared Multigrain Pilaf. Cooking them from scratch is simple, too. Usually all it takes is a 2:1 ratio of water to whole grain on the stove-top, cooked just like you would make rice. Here are some easy (and tasty!) ways to get more whole grains into every meal and snack of your day:
- Whole wheat pancakes with nutty topping
- Steel cut oats with dried fruit and nuts
- Whole grain cereal (like mini-wheats or Uncle Sam) with fruit and low fat milk
- Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter and banana slices
- Egg and salsa breakfast burrito wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla
- Hummus and roasted veggie panini on whole-wheat bread
- Minestrone soup made with whole wheat pasta
- Brown rice and bean burrito or soft tacos wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla
- Personal pizza with veggies on a whole wheat pita
- Spinach Artichoke Pizza on whole-wheat crust
- Kale and Mushroom "Risotto" using old fashioned oats
- Lemon Basil Bulgur (no cooking necessary!)
- Quinoa with Apricots, Almonds and Asparagus
- Butternut Squash, Barley and Kale Stew
- Whole wheat crackers like Triscuits and hummus
- Homemade whole wheat tortilla chips with salsa or guacamole
- Coconut Brown Rice Pudding
TELL US: How are you going to get more whole grains in your diet this year?

Judicial Qualifications Committee Reports
The South Carolina Bar's Judicial Qualifications Committee evaluates all candidates for selection to the South Carolina Supreme Court, South Carolina Court of Appeals, South Carolina Circuit and Family courts and Administrative Law Judges. The reports, produced twice each year, rate judicial candidates based on interviews with lawyers and others. The reports reflect the composite perspective provided by Bar members who are interviewed about each candidate's judicial temperament, character, knowledge of the law and legal skills.
Reports: April 2004 November 2004 April 2005 November 2005 April 2006 November 2006 April 2007 November 2007 April 2008 November 20 and 26, 2008 April 2009 October 2009 September 30 and October 15, 2010 April 2011 September 2011 April 2012 October 2012 March 2013 October 2013 April 2014 October 2014
Judicial Evaluation Surveys
Each year, the South Carolina Bar conducts a Judicial Evaluation Survey of South Carolina judges who have completed all or one-half of their current terms. Judges are evaluated on their legal skills, impartiality, judicial temperament, industry and promptness. Members are asked to evaluate only those judges with whom they have had sufficient professional experience to make an informed evaluation. The Judicial Evaluation Survey is a separate evaluation from the Judicial Qualifications Committee Reports that rate judicial candidates based on interviews with lawyers and others.
Survey results: 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
The press is notified each year of the survey's results. The latest survey information can also be obtained from News & Press.

Disclaimer: I received a free pair of workout pants and a workout top in exchange for my review of pvbody.com. The thoughts and opinions are mine.
I know a lot of people, including myself, that are taking advantage of the fresh start of a new year and buckling down on nutrition and fitness goals. There are a lot of online or gym challenges you can participate in but sometimes good old fashioned competition with a friend works just as well or better! I also love the idea of setting up non-food related rewards to hitting milestones. Maybe two weeks of clean eating gets you a pedicure. Or maybe four weeks of hitting all your workouts means new workout clothes!
I was excited to be contacted by pv.Body to review their clothes and site. Pv.Body is a fun, monthly clothing subscription box where you receive new fitness clothes from different brands every month. You start by taking a short quiz so the site knows what style of clothes you like to workout in (for example, running shorts? yoga pants? bright colors or all black?) I fit the mold of a "gym goer" and like pants or capris and workout tanks. Once you have a style profile set up you get a 2 piece outfit every month for $49.95 (shipping is free) That's it!
The best part is that the value of every shipment is at least $100! They carry brands like Lululemon, Nike, Lorna Jane, Adidas, and American Apparel. I challenge you to find a deal like that anywhere else.
I received a workout tank and capris by MPG and loved them. I was definitely impressed by the quality. I asked for a size medium top and was pleased. I probably could have gotten away with a small but since I still have a little post-baby softness around my belly button I like to make sure I have room in my workout tops. The top has this nice panel in the back and a little zippered pocket that would be handy to carry a key when going out for a run. I did two weight workouts in this outfit and the top had plenty of support that I didn't need another sports bra underneath (rare!) If I were going to run in it or do plyometrics where I'd be jumping around I would wear another bra underneath; I like those girls really well secured.
The capris are super comfortable and I'm not sure how this is the case but I found them very breathable while working out (they didn't make my butt sweat) but they were super warm when I wore them outside to take the dogs out. There's obviously some science involved there that I don't get but I will be wearing these with my Uggs for the rest of the winter when I have to go outside.
I threw these in the washer and dryer on high heat with no problems, although I'm pretty sure the tag says "low heat". Does anyone have time to dry clothes on the low heat setting? Come on. Anyway, no shrinking or bunching or pilling or anything. Good to go.
PvBody has offered to give my readers 20% off! You get to sign up with a 20% discount and get a 2-piece outfit of your own. It's definitely worth checking out, especially at that price, and you can always cancel your subscription anytime.

Real estate markets always go through cycles, but the current market is unique in the fact that interest rates are low, lending is still tight, and home prices are rising in most parts of the country.
So, how can a person protect themselves from overpaying for a home in such a market?
The key to successfully buying a home in this type of market is preparation. Preparing for the purchase of a house is just as important as the offer you make. We've provided the following tips for just this reason—to help you prepare for buying a home in a rising market.
Find a good agent
A good real estate agent is worth every penny they make when you're looking to buy a home. This is especially true in markets where multiple offers are surfacing. Parts of the country, like California, require mounds of paperwork and regulations a buyer must complete in the transaction. Having a good real estate agent to help you navigate these waters is invaluable when negotiating for a home.
Getting a jump on new listings is also key to buying the house you want in a competitive market—having a good agent that's connected makes all the difference when it comes to "hot" listings.
Get pre-approved—know what you're worth
When you're negotiating in a real estate market where multiple offers abound, the cleaner the offer the better your chance of closing the deal.
Sellers love buyers who have their financing already approved. They gravitate to offers where they don't have to worry about whe...

Jen - 06/09/2002
The dance I reviewed was called mean 2 me by Dave the Rave. What I will add is this dance has been around since Febuary I go to an awful lot of socials all over the country and have never seen it done. If it's so popular why has it never been in the linedancer charts. Why doesn't it get danced. I asked on lduk if any has done it and only one person replied? Try it yourself. Oh and yes I do know what dance I review by the way Jen :(
Helen "Hot Heels" D'Aguiar - 29/08/2002
I am not sure what dance Jen from Wales is reviewing but it is clearly not this one! This is a lovely little dance to a great track (certainly not frantic - I would call it mellow - so perhaps you had better check your review, Jen!). My class really like it and it is one of those dances you can dance to almost anything. Well done, Dave!
Jen - 05/08/2002
We learnt this dance and it doesn't flow is very frantic to dance. Bad choice of music for this dance. I don't understand all the reviews ?? When this one was played in a class of 80 after being taught only two people got up to give it a second go. Very poor.
Don Rickards - 17/07/2002
Superb dance made for begginers but with enough meat for intermediates. Whats more, its a country track! Great stuff Dave!!
Jean Barlow - 26/06/2002
Taught to my Improver class last night and they loved both the music and the dance (they prefer country music) - unlike my Intermediate class who didn't like either (see review above).
Lynda Hardern - 17/06/2002
Taught this dance at Biddulph Moor Village Hall & Astra Zeneca both places liked it, it also goes well to another of Hal Ketchum's - I saw the light. Great - no tags, bridges, roadworks etc!
Jean Barlow - 12/06/2002
I loved both the music and the dance, therefore taught it to my Intermediate class. Unfortunately, they were distictly unimpressed and most didn't like the dance and thought the music only so-so. (probably because most of them prefer pop/latin). I would give it 5 personally, but only 3 for my class.
Monica Varnell - 09/06/2002
A nice flowing dance, we dance it to Mr Right its neat.
Toe the Line with Anne - 22/05/2002
Taught this dance to beginners too tricky for them, taught it tonight to the intermediates and went down really well it just fits right into place. well done dave and a lovely country track too. ( i always loved that track)
Alan & Barb - Feel The Beat - 14/05/2002
Dave taught this dance on his recent visit to sunny Telford and we have now taught it to our classes, and they like it. We will be teaching it at the Dancelines Festival at Brean Sands May 17-20th.

This has got to be a No 1. It took a while to master but well worth it.Well done Chrissie.
Marie - 21/03/2002
Like the first half of this dance but find that the 2nd half of the dance is awkward, which means I get fed up with dancing 'Whenever' after about the second wall. Not a patch on some of Chris's other dances.

Helium and Health
Name: Steve Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Are There any side effects when you inhale helium from a balloon!!I was told helium makes a small tiy hole in your brain which eliminates a brain cell and brain cells can not be replaced right.
Helium is as inert as a gas can be. Helium itself won't drill holes in your brain or kill brain cells. The only health problem you might encounter from inhaling helium is oxygen deprivation, which can be very serious. This will only happen if the helium displaces all the oxygen from your lungs. As long as you don't breathe only helium, that is, if you take a few breaths of air after exhaling the helium, there should be no problem.

Warm-Warm-… Hot?
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on July 24, 2009
Today they say it's today: the transit of Russian diesel oil through Belarus to Latvia will be resumed. A week ago Minsk ordered to stop the flow through the Belarusian section of the pipeline owned by a Russian company demanding to fix hundreds of defects.
The problems sound conomic but they are political. Latvia is not getting its diesel oil because of the complexities in Belarus-Russia relations.
Minsk is losing the dearest – its reputation of a reliable transit country and the advantage over Ukraine it gained in the 'gas wars' – as an outsider, of course. Stable political relations with Russia guaranteed EU predictable relations with Minsk. It seems to be no longer the case.
There were quarrels over Belarusian milk, sugar, meat, agricultural machinery exports and gas and beer imports from Russia. This time it's diesel oil. It used to concern only bilateral relations but this time it affects Latvia as well.
The experts notice that the transit of Russian diesel oil was stopped after a senior Russian official left Minsk. What have they failed to agree on? Nobody says.
Then Belarusian MFA warned in a statement that entry into Abkhazia and South Ossetia is only allowed from the Georgian municipalities, entry from all other areas without a special permit of the Georgian authority is penalised under the Criminal Code of Georgia. Belarus hasn't recognized those two countries, but the statement is no accident. As a result Georgia hailed the statement… and a reported illness prevented Moscow governor Luzhkov to come to Belarus to open the long-awaited House of Moscow.
On July 28 Belarus FM will come to Brussels for a Troika meeting. But it's unlikely that Minsk is complicating its relations with Russia in order to thaw them with Brussels. It is the same as cutting off your nose to spite your face.
But the tensions with Russia are getting dangerous.
Belarus' 15 Unique Years
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on July 10, 2009
Today it's the 15th anniversary of Belarusian President Lukashenka in power.
It's a strange feeling – that's half of my life. Sometimes I feel as a linguistic invalid. With a new regulation introduced 4 years ago I got used to apply the word president to the one and only position in the country. And feel ill at ease to refer to him as to "the current president". He is The President here.
But no comments from my part. The quintessence of the years could be followed through Lukashenka's quotes. I've tried to pick out those that don't lose their meaning without the context. Anyway direct quotations often say more than they read.
– "I am the president of the country and this country will be [=exist] until I am the president."
– "We falsified the latest election [in March 2006], I've already told westerners about this. As many as 93.5 percent voted for President Lukashenka. They say it is not a European figure. We turned it into 86 [percent]. This did take place. And if we now start recounting ballots, I don't know what we should do with them."
– "I enjoy playing football and hockey, but most often I play alone."
– "I want you to wear your own and eat your own [products]. They are probably packed not as good as the foreign things, but today we don't have enough foreign currency."
– "I am confident that the Europeans will come crawling to Belarus to ask for co-operation in the fight against drug trafficking and illegal migration."
– "I think Americans realised that Belarus is the key country in Europe and they need to cooperate with it."
– "Our "dictatorship" doesn't hinder anyone's life or development."
– "I am pretty tired of the question of the so called political prisoners. There are no political crimes therefore there can be no political prisoners. They are ordinary criminals <…> We released them."
– "Those <detained during demonstrations> were unconscious and blind drunk, 10-15 days arrests' were necessary for them to recover themselves."
– "What kind of opposition is that? They've been fighting in the centre of Europe for more than 20 years, I guess, and still can't put at least one man into the parliament – to be honest, even with the support of the authorities."
– "Those who drink – you'd better not vote for me, I won't be a friend of yours."
– "All these years I've been carefully and reverently carrying this clear, crystal vase called Belarus."
– "The situation in Belarus is unique as I don't owe anything to anyone."
Moral Health Under Supervision
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on July 9, 2009
Public Council was founded in Belarus to guard the moral health of the nation.
The 33-member Council on Morals includes representatives of the Orthodox, Catholic, Judaic and Muslim denominations and art unions, as well as educators and scholars, Belapan reports.
The members of the council will study controversial books, films, pictures and other works of art to provide recommendations to the government regarding "particular extremities" that cause "polar opinions and contradict society's traditional values".
Among the moral problems specified: the destruction of human personality and family values, the profanation of the biblical commandments, history and patriotic feelings. Who, sorry, what is to blame? Tasteless films, cruel computer games, marginal youth subcultures.
The idea behind the initiative seems to be the protection of the freedom of speech that is apparently being misused and abused in Belarus. The organ will suggest whether from the point of view of state ideology a certain book or film could be considered a piece of art.
It's not about quality, it's about supervision and control. There are approved "diseases" and those that should demand an extra effort from the "patient": you can't get this book in Minsk? Buy it on the Internet.
By the way, it's not the first organ of its kind. And I guess not the last one.

Krakota: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 by Simon Winchester
It seems oddly appropriate that Winchester ends his book with a personal journey, for this is a work of deep personal significance to him. It is also a book of tremendous importance to our understanding of the place of humans in the natural landscape.

This report provides an estimate of the taxes paid by immigrants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which encompasses the federal district and portions of Maryland and Virginia. It compares the tax payments of immigrant households with the contributions of native households between 1999 and 2000.
This report examines how counterterrorism strategy relates to border security and immigration reform, and how terrorist mobility should be countered. The author argues that terrorist mobility comprises a set of problems distinct from the challenges of managing large-scale global migration.
This policy brief examines the United States' complex employment-based immigration system, which admits foreign workers through five permanent immigration categories and dozens of nonimmigrant visa categories for temporary workers. It evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the current demand-driven system and offers recommendations for improvement based on this analysis.
This policy brief compares existing proposals for comprehensive immigration reform by President Bush and the 109th Congress with regard to changes to lawful permanent resident (LPR) admissions, the terms and conditions of nonimmigrant visas, and policy responses to the existing unauthorized immigrant population.
This report examines the connections between the United States' temporary and permanent systems of admission to the United States. It describes the goals and structure of each system, discusses the relationship between immigrant and nonimmigrant admission flows, and describes the critical data gaps that impede understanding of the underlying realities of immigration to the United States.
This report explores the complex issues surrounding temporary worker programs by looking at the ways in which the United States has responded to domestic labor shortages from the 1940s through the present. It examines the intent and structure of both historical and existing temporary worker programs, and raises salient policy questions that result from the analysis.
Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the United States Department of Justice has sought to engage local police in the systematic enforcement of routine civil immigration violations, marking a sea change in immigration and local law enforcement practices. This report provides the first public glimpse of how the new NCIC policy has affected on‐the‐ ground policing strategies across the country and which immigrant groups have been most heavily impacted.
This policy brief examines the flaws in the United States' existing employer sanctions regime and proposes six types of reform that could strengthen the system: improvements to document security, document consolidation, mandatory use of employment databases, increased enforcement staffing, a revised penalty structure, and better worksite access for investigators.

It uses dash. So if you put #!/bin/sh at the top of a cript you get dash running the script. They also chose mawk instead of gawk, I changed that long ago, hence it didn't bite me. There's nothing to stop you changing the symlink though, but George's recent changes make it work well by calling for bash explicitly. R.

Hey! I have this book! Somewhere 'round here. Fact this was my first BT book, I saw the cover and had to know what it was all about. Great models, as always, Hana. Lighting does not match up too well, sun should be off to the right side of the frame not the center. Guessing you added the light source on the right so it would bring the Mad Cat to the forefront. It just looks, well, odd, mainly because of where the shadows are. Are you rendering the models and the backgrounds at the same time? Donno much about TrueSpace but is there an 'Ambient' lighting option? I think that would fix all the hard shadowing I'm seeing here. Your texture work has waaay improved over the years. But it still looks too clean, if you remember...I hate clean Mechs. Dirty those suckers up!! Thanks for the callback!
Don't mean to be critical of your work, kiddo. Once a project lead always a project lead. *hands Hana a Atlas Plushy* Forgive?

Harbor View Hotel, Edgartown
Posted on: August 21, 2010 at 12:09AM
I first stayed at the Harbor View in 1999 and enjoyed it. I just got back from a trip today. The service has gone downhill dramatically. At over $1,000 a night for a suite, I expect my luggage to be delivered to my room. Instead I'm told to come back with the room number once I've checked in, and a very nice but surprised valet agrees to send it up after two requests. Be ready to call multiple times for service. They will tell you that they are going to call you back, but they never do. Your best bet is to go to the main desk. We had to switch rooms for the last night of our trip, and they pushed us out of our room without giving us another room to stay in, despite the $1,080 we were paying each night. Our daughter needed a nap and we ended up driving around the island so she could rest. Crazy. I get better service elsewhere even when I'm paying for a normal room.

In 1776, Abigail Adams wrote her husband, telling him to "Remember the Ladies." John Adams, then a delegate to the Continental Congress that would soon declare independence, responded by teasing his wife."Rather than be subjected to the "despotism of the petticoat," he wrote back, "I hope that General Washington, and all our brave heroes would fight."
Abigail was not a 20th-century suffragette or a 21st-century feminist. She did not call for a fundamental change in men's and women's roles. By the 1970s, however, there was strong support for full constitutional equality for women. The House passed the ERA in 1970 and the Senate in 1972. A year later, thirty states had ratified the amendment.
Then the tide turned. Opponents of the amendment argued it would undercut traditional protections the laws afforded women. They argued, for example, that if the ERA passed women could be drafted, laws against sexual assault of women could be deemed unconstitutional, and men wouldn't be obligated to support their children. The deadline for states to ratify the amendment has expired, but the amendment is regularly reintroduced in Congress.

Delusions, Levels of Belief, and Non-doxastic Acceptances

Get AccessAbstract
In Delusions and Other Irrational Beliefs, Lisa Bortolotti argues that the irrationality of delusions is no barrier to their being classified as beliefs. This comment asks how Bortolotti's position may be affected if we accept that there are two distinct types of belief, belonging to different levels of mentality and subject to different ascriptive constraints. It addresses some worries Bortolotti has expressed about the proposed two-level framework and outlines some questions that arise for her if the framework is adopted. It also suggests that, rather than being beliefs that fail to meet the relevant standards of rationality, delusions may be non-doxastic acceptances that were never meant to meet them.
