Stems ascending to erect or, rarely, prostrate, usually branched, sometimes simple, unarmed. Leaves: ocrea chartaceous, rarely foliaceous distally, margins eciliate or ciliate; petiole not winged, not auriculate; blade sometimes with dark triangular or lunate blotch adaxially, lanceolate to narrowly elliptic, base tapered, acute, rounded, or cordate, margins entire. Inflorescences terminal or terminal and axillary, spikelike, uninterrupted or interrupted. Flowers homostylous or heterostylous, articulation swollen or not; perianth campanulate; tepals 4-5, connate 1/ 2/ 3 their length; stamens 5-8; styles deciduous, 2-3, included or exserted (exserted syles and stamens in heterostylous species), spreading.
Species ca. 60 (16 in the flora): nearly worldwide, especially n temperate regions.
Members of sect. Persicaria frequently grow in moist or inundated habitats. Many have evolved responses to submergence that allow them to survive extended periods of inundation (R. S. Mitchell 1976). Hybridization often is implicated for the taxonomic difficulties in the section. However, J. Timson (1965) concluded that, at least among annual European species, hybridization is rare due to autogamous breeding systems. Mitchell (1971) demonstrated the usefulness of leaf morphology in distinguishing major groups among the native North American smartweeds.

Tactical Pants - Galls A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
The conventional one-hand shooting method is to step toward the target and cant the gun inward.
You don't like doing it, I don't like doing it…no one I know likes shooting with one hand. Why? Because it is twice as hard as shooting with two hands and we all want to look good and shoot our best at the range. Quite often, how you shoot determines whether or not you go back to the street or end up in an office job riding a desk.
Shooting a handgun is tough. Anyone who tells you it is not is kidding him or herself. Unlike long guns, which allow four points of contact (fore grip, shooting grip, shoulder weld, and cheek weld), a handgun allows for one point of contact: the shooting hand.
What, you say that the handgun offers two points of contact? To some degree this is true, but the second point of contact is wrapped around the first. All of us have heard of sympathetic muscle response (what one side of the body does, the other will do to a lesser degree), so it is not that hard to see that two points of contact on a long gun are not quite the same as two points of contact on a handgun.
Going Solo
Take a moment and think about the difficulty in shooting a handgun accurately. All day long, you go through your daily routine with the fingers of your hands working in concert with one another, i.e. opening and closing as a group. Then several times a year, your department puts a handgun in your hand and asks you to use your hand in such a way that the index finger must operate independently of the rest.
If the hand moves as a unit, which is normal, then the muzzle of the pistol will swing off target and you will miss your shot. The support hand helps stabilize the shooting hand in this endeavor, but as many of us know, it is oftentimes not enough.
Beyond Qualifying
With some practice, the majority of police officers can shoot reasonably well with two hands, but when it comes to one-hand shooting, many just hope for the best. And when it comes to shooting one-hand style with our support hand (I still like to call it the "weak hand"), I have seen many an officer just give up and hope that the rest of his or her shots will yield a "qualifying score."
Qualification is not enough. We must shoot well enough to be active participants in our own rescue in the event we are the subject of a deadly force attack.
Those of us who are firearms instructors can testify to many targets in which the "bad guy" is shot quite frequently in the gun hand. This has also been documented in actual gun battles. This phenomenon is not surprising, as most people will focus on the potential threat, which means the gun in your hand.
If you are shot in the hand during a gunfight, there is no time out. You will need to return fire with one hand, and it may be your support or weak hand.
Stepping toward your adversary in a close-quarter engagement actually puts your gun within your opponent's reach.
Shooting with one hand is not really that difficult, though I will admit that very few of us will get as good with one hand as we are with two. However, this being said, most of us can get good enough to defend ourselves with some practice and proper technique.
The most common technique used for shooting with one hand is to cant the gun slightly and step into the gun, using the upper body to help control recoil. While this does help, I have found that there are a few potential drawbacks to using this technique exclusively when shooting one handed.
We need to think about what the circumstances will be in which one hand shooting will be used. Two situations come to the mind of most officers: when one hand is injured and when the engagement is quite close.
For close-quarter situations, does it make sense to step into the suspect and outstretch your arm? If the suspect is close, you run the risk of placing your gun within his or her grasp. If you try to pull the gun back to shoot in a close retention position, your forward step will place you too off balance to repel the attack since there will be nothing behind your upper body to help retain balance. Again, not good.
Shooting with one hand is best accomplished by leaving your feet in a conventional shooting position and rotating your shooting arm elbow straight down to lock the gun on target.
I teach a one-hand shooting stance that is a bit different than what is normal and I have had a great deal of success with it. In reality, it is not much different than the stance that many people use with two hands, which makes it quite easy for most people to pick up quickly.
To use this stance, stand as you normally would with your feet square to the target or with the shooting side foot slightly behind the support side. Extend your shooting arm and rotate your elbow down toward the ground in a "six o'clock" position and "roll" your upper body toward the target. By doing this, you will lock the gun on target and control recoil for each shot by letting your upper body bring the gun back on target.
Keep your non-shooting hand locked to your body in some fashion so that it will not take you off balance. In actuality, this stance is the same as the one you would use when shooting with two hands, you are just taking one hand off the gun and locking it in place. As it is a continuous motion with something else you are already doing (two hand shooting), it will feel somewhat familiar making it easier to accomplish.
The Weak Hand
Shooting with one hand while under close-quarter attack can be tricky. Keep your gun hand close to your body and maintain your balance.
As far as shooting with the support/weak hand, the easiest way to master the technique is to remember that shooting with the support side is the same as shooting with the primary side, only in reverse.
When shooting with the primary side, take note of how it feels to shoot and then model it using the support side. While it will feel different, it is really the same.
Practice will overcome the odd feeling that using the support hand brings. It is important to focus/concentrate on what you are doing as total concentration will compress the time needed to master one-hand shooting. While in practice, it may be a good idea to reverse the position of your feet when changing hands. It's not so good in a real fight, as such a change will burn up valuable time. As your practice progresses, try and switch hands without switching feet.
Switching hands is also a necessary shooting technique for the law enforcement officer. The two techniques that I have found work best I call the "neck-down" and the "open hand" techniques. One of these two techniques will fill your need and which you choose will likely depend on the size of your hand.
The open hand technique I have found to work best for officers who have large hands or long fingers. When changing hands, the officer merely opens the back strap of the pistol by holding it with the forward fingers around the front strap. The off-hand then takes its place on the back strap and releases with the fingers.
For officers with smaller hands, I recommend "neck-down" on the pistol, opening the grip tang for the off-hand. Once the off-hand is in place on the grip tang, the fingers will wrap around the grip as the shooting hand fingers vacate.
Shooting with one hand is a necessary survival skill. It is as important as proper vehicle placement on a traffic stop or maintaining an advanced state of awareness. And as with many worthwhile things, one-hand shooting requires practice.

The Metro.
The 29-year-old joined the Premier League club in 2011 from Fenerbache as part of manager Arsene Wenger's deadline day spending spree.
Initially he looked to be a sound purchase, but his form has tailed off leading to him becoming a bit-part player in North London.
He has made only a handful of appearances so far this term, infuriating the supporters in the process by swapping shirts with former club captain Robin van Persie at half-time.
Despite taking to Twitter to apologise, it would appear that his time in England is up, which has tempted Sao Paulo.
Former club Fenerbache are thought to be interested as well as Turkish rivals Besiktas and Galatasaray.
However, the Brasilero outfit are firm favourites due to the financial muscle they now possess and the opportunity Santos will have to force himself back into the national team ahead of the 2014 World Cup.
The defender admitted that he would be open to a return to Brazil:
"If there is any interest from Sao Paulo, we'll talk, as I'm professional."
Arsenal are aware that they're unlikely to receive a substantial fee for Santos, but would like to reclaim around half of the £6m they parted with for his signature last year.

Rebranding downtown Waukesha will start with a clean slate
Some skeptical about losing historic brand
There's dining, there's art and music festivals, there's the river walk, there's shopping, urban living and historic architecture.
So how do you combine all of what downtown Waukesha entails into an image that can be properly marketable?
That's what Savage Solutions, a Milwaukee-based marketing firm, along with the downtown community will brainstorm over the next few months.
Rebranding downtown's logo — that will be seen on banners and other wayfinding signs in and leading to downtown — was made possible after the Common Council approved a $15,000 contract with Savage Solutions at its last meeting.
"This is a great idea," said Alderman Adam Jankowski, one of 11 who voted for rebranding. "I love it. We're reimaging Waukesha."
Rebranding surfaces
Community Development Specialist Jeff Fortin said the rebranding effort came from two plans: the Central City Master Plan and the Downtown Integrated Street Master Plan.
The Central City Master Plan, which was adopted in 2012, looks at the complete street design to create a "coherent street system" of improving signs, streetlights, banners and wayfinding signs to better define the downtown.
The goal of the Downtown Integrated Street Master Plan is to create cohesiveness for the downtown area. The plan recommended new banners in downtown that would be more durable with brighter colors and larger to make them more visible.
Fortin said one side of the banner would feature the new logo and the other would allow for flexibility for downtown events to advertise. He added that since many streets were being overhauled and new banners would be a key component to that, rebranding was brought to the forefront. An ad hoc committee interviewed firms this fall after getting the go-ahead from the Redevelopment Authority.
Once an image is selected after public input, it will then have to get approval from the Downtown Implementation Committee, the Redevelopment Authority and Common Council.
The downtown is currently marketed as "historic." Fortin said there was concern from aldermen last year that it's crucial to modernize downtown.
"New banners should reflect what downtown truly means and much more than just historic downtown," said Fortin, who added 12,000 places in the United States call themselves historic in some fashion.
"We're trying to separate our downtown," Fortin said.
Why change?
Not everyone agreed with that notion.
"I like historic downtown Waukesha," said Alderman Eric Payne, who was joined by Alderwoman Kathleen Cummings and Aldermen Cory Payne and Daniel Manion in voting against rebranding. "I like the logo. That's who we are. A lot of people put in a lot of hard work over the years to make historic downtown Waukesha. A lot of communities aren't historic anymore because they leveled everything that's historic in their downtowns."
Alderman Vance Skinner agreed that downtown is historic, but said there's so much more that it offers.
"We certainly don't dispute that downtown Waukesha is historic," Skinner said. "That's one aspect of it. We want to focus on the larger picture. It's a historic place with a lot of history, but there's certainly more to it. Business centers refresh and rebrand all the time. It's something that's required."
Worried about the cost
Cummings also said she liked the historic label, but also had financial concerns (the cost of the study to come up with a logo is $15,000).
Community Development Director Steve Crandell said the money is coming from the Central City Master Plan's budget. Out of $100,000 there's still $15,000 in tax incremental financing to use.
"They're not new dollars," Crandell said. "There's still dollars remaining from the original allocation."
But Cummings was worried about the cost once the rebranding is complete.
Crandell said "absolutely" the cost will be greater, but added this is the same as when the city developed the Central City Master Plan in 1998 and many projects cost it millions of dollars.
"This isn't for one group," he said. "It's for the downtown property owners, it's for the retailers, it's for the professional business community and it's for the residents of downtown. But more importantly, this is for the city. It is a first phase in a citywide rebrand. It is a steppingstone to move this brand forward into the community and build on our sense of place and sense pride within this city."
Having their doubts
Cummings, however, had her doubts despite Fortin saying "there is no preconceived notion" of an image and that the consultant is "going to start with a blank slate.".
"I don't believe it's the right time," Cummings said. "I do believe that there's already preconceived notions out there on what it should be. I don't think $15,000 should be spent at this time. We don't know the end cost. I've been on so many committees and commissions and people are put on commissions to end up with predictable results and I already know what that result is going to be. We are much more than just guitars in the City of Waukesha."
Downtown property owner Victoria Hekkers said while she's supportive of rebranding, the timing isn't right with reconstruction projects taking place over the next few years.
"Downtown is going to be torn up," Hekkers said. "We don't know what the downtown is going to look like when we're done. It feels kind of like we're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while the Titanic is in trouble and going down. You don't rebrand at the beginning of the project because you don't know what it's going to look like at the end."
Getting community input
Fortin disagreed and used the City of Oconomowoc as an example on a community that recently rebranded. He said, while it too was reconstructing a major street at the time, rebranding its city before — not after construction — "set the tone" for a successful transition.
"It got stakeholders on board and got people to drive downtown when most would try to avoid it," Fortin said. "We would have a brand in place as roads are reconstructing and we can incorporate this into that. Not all at once, but as the Central City Master Plan is implemented we would like to see a new brand go with the implementation."
But he stressed that with the city taking the lead in this effort, it will ensure "maximum public participation."
"Input of all stakeholders is crucial to this," Fortin said. "Nobody's going to embrace a logo if they don't have input. We'd like to have property owners, businesses, customers, elected officials — anybody who is using downtown — to have some input in this, to tell the city, to tell the consultant what downtown Waukesha represents."

The Media Research Center (MRC) is a conservative content analysis organization based in Alexandria, Virginia, founded in 1987 by conservative activist L. Brent Bozell III. Its stated mission is to "prove — through sound scientific research — that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values" and to "neutralize [that bias's] impact on the American political scene".[1]
Contents |
Bozell and a group of other young conservatives founded the MRC on October 1, 1987, with only themselves, a black-and-white television set, and rented computer at their headquarters. Their initial budget was at US$339,000.[1] Prior to founding the MRC, Bozell was the chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee; he resigned from that position a month before establishing MRC.[2]
The MRC has received financial support from several foundations, including the Bradley, Scaife, Olin, Castle Rock, Carthage and JM foundations.[3] Bob Ward has said that it also receives funding from ExxonMobil.[4]
From 1996 to 2009, the MRC published a daily online newsletter called CyberAlert written by editor Brent Baker. Each issue profiles what he perceives to be biased or inaccurate reports about politics in the American news media.[5] Prior to CyberAlert, MRC published such reports in a monthly newsletter titled MediaWatch,[6] from 1988 to 1999.[7] Media analysis articles are now under the banner BiasAlert.[8] Media analysis director Tim Graham and research director Rich Noyes regularly write Media Reality Check, another MRC publication documenting alleged liberal bias.[9] Notable Quotables is its "collection of the most biased quotes from journalists".[1] In Notable Quotables, editors give honors such as the "Linda Ellerbee Awards for Distinguished Reporting" based on the former CNN commentator, who Bozell considered "a liberal blowhard who has nothing to say".[10] Other features on its website include the weekly syndicated news and entertainment columns written by founder Bozell.
MRC staff members have also written editorials and books about their findings of the media. Bozell has written three books about the news media: And That's the Way it Isn't: A Reference Guide to Media Bias (1990, with Brent Baker); Weapons of Mass Distortion: The Coming Meltdown of the Liberal Media (2004); and Whitewash: How The News Media Are Paving Hillary Clinton's Path to the Presidency (2007, with Tim Graham). Research director Rich Noyes has also co-authored several published books.[11]
In 1992, the MRC created the Free Market Project to promote the culture of free enterprise and combat what it believes to be media spin on business and economic news. That division recently changed its name to the Business & Media Institute (www.businessandmedia.org) and is now focused on "Advancing the culture of free enterprise in America." BMI's advisory board includes such well-known individuals as economists Walter Williams and Bruce Bartlett, as well as former CNN anchor David Goodnow. BMI is led by career journalist Dan Gainor, a former managing editor at CQ.com, the website for Congressional Quarterly. It released a research report in June 2006 covering the portrayal of business on prime-time entertainment television during the May and November "sweeps" periods from 2005. The report concluded that the programs, among them the long-running NBC legal drama Law & Order, were biased against business.[12] Another report of the BMI accused the networks of bias in favor of the Gardasil vaccine, a vaccine intended to prevent cervical cancer.
In 1989, the MRC began monitoring the entertainment industry through its Entertainment Division and newsletter TV, etc.[13] MRC president L. Brent Bozell III branched out the Parents Television Council from the Center in 1995 after he felt that decency on prime-time television was decreasing. The PTC monitors prime-time television for what it believes to be indecent content and publishes content-based reviews of television shows and oversees campaigns to make advertisers withdraw from programs that they believe to be morally offensive.[14] Extra!, the magazine published by left-wing group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, asserted that the MRC's former newsletter TV, etc. inspired the group and "tracked the allegedly leftist politics of entertainment industry figures".[15] In July 2002, MRC and affiliate Parents Television Council (PTC) paid an out-of-court settlement ending a lawsuit which had been launched by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in November 2000. WWE alleged 13 instances of defamation, copyright infringement and interference with prospective business relations after PTC produced a fundraising video using unauthorized WWE footage, falsely claimed WWE was responsible for the murders of four children, and falsely claimed advertisers had pulled their commercials from the show. MRC paid US$3.5 million.[16] MRC and PTC President Brent Bozell wrote in a lengthy public statement "it was wrong to have stated or implied that WWE or any of its programs caused these tragic deaths." [17] The PTC has been found to have filed the majority of complaints about alleged indecent television content to the Federal Communications Commission.[18]
Bozell founded the Conservative News Service (now Cybercast News Service [CNSNews.com]) in 1998 to cover stories he believes are ignored by mainstream news organizations.[19] CNSNews.com provides news articles for Townhall.com and other websites for a subscription fee. Its leadership consists of president Brent Bozell and editor Terry Jeffrey. Under editor David Thibault, CNSNews.com questioned the validity of the circumstances in which Democratic Rep. John Murtha received his purple hearts as a response to Murtha's criticisms of the U.S. War in Iraq. The Washington Post and Nancy Pelosi have commented that this approach is similar to the tactics of the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, which opposed John Kerry's candidacy in the 2004 election.[20]
In the summer of 2005, Media Research Center launched the NewsBusters, a website "dedicated to exposing & combating liberal media bias," in cooperation with Matthew Sheffield, a conservative blogger involved in the CBS Killian documents story. NewsBusters is styled as a rapid-response blog site that contains posts by MRC editors to selected stories in mass media.[21] Although the site is advertised chiefly as a conservative site, it frequently defends Neoconservatives as well.[22] Not only does the site highlight journalists it deems to be liberally biased, but also non-journalists (writers, musicians, producers, scientists, etc.) who have a perceived liberal viewpoint.[23][24][25][26] In addition to conventional media outlets, NewsBusters has attacked Wikipedia over perceived liberal bias in its John Edwards discussion pages. [27] The site is also highly critical of moderate Republicans.[28][29]
At the NewsBusters site, a semi-weekly mock newscast called NewsBusted parodies recent events. The NewsBusted programs are often uploaded to sites such as YouTube.[30]
In March 2003,[31] MRC analyst Clay Waters established TimesWatch, a website monitoring bias in The New York Times.[32]
In October 2006, the MRC created the Culture and Media Institute, the mission of which is "to advance, preserve, and help restore America's culture, character, traditional values, and morals against the assault of the liberal media."[33] Robert H. Knight is the institute's director.
MRC sponsors Eyeblast,[34] a conservative-leaning YouTube-like video-hosting site.[35]
In its mission to show that there is a "strident liberal bias" [36] in the national news media, the MRC has produced a number of their own analyses and has offered as evidence the claims that news reporters use the "conservative" or "Republican" label to describe conservatives more often than they label liberals or Democrats, that the media is sympathetic to Communism or "dictators",[37][38] that media coverage of global warming is biased in favor of environmentalism,[39] and that the media focuses on covering the negative side of the Iraq war. In 1999, the MRC reported that the network news programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC largely ignored Chinese espionage in the United States during the Clinton administration.[40]
Beyond the news media, MRC also publishes research about entertainment television. Reports it conducted from 1993 to 1995 found that such programs made more references to religion each later year, most of which became more favorable.[41] In 2003, the MRC urged advertisers to pull sponsorship from The Reagans, a miniseries about President Ronald Reagan to be shown on CBS. The network later moved the program to its co-owned premium cable network Showtime.[42]
MRC released a report in 2007 claiming that the network morning shows devoted more airtime to covering Democratic presidential candidates than Republican ones for the 2008 election. Producers for such shows criticized the MRC's methodology as flawed.[43] During the 2008 US presidential election, MRC released a report claiming that the vast majority of news stories about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama had a positive slant.[44] MRC president Bozell praised MSNBC for having David Gregory replace Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as political coverage anchor beginning September 8, 2008, but MSNBC president Phil Griffin disputed the statements by Bozell and others who have accused the network of liberal bias.[45]
In March 2010, About.com, owned by The New York Times Company, named MRC one of the top 20 conservatives to follow on Twitter.[46]
Extra!, the magazine of the progressive media watch group FAIR, criticized the MRC in 1998 for selective use of evidence. MRC had said that there was more coverage of government death squads in right-wing El Salvador than in left-wing Nicaragua in the 1980s, when Amnesty International stated El Salvador was worse than Nicaragua when it came to extrajudicial killings. Extra! also likened a defunct MRC newsletter TV etc., which tracked the off-screen political comments of actors, to "Red Channels, the McCarthy Era blacklisting journal."[15]
Journalist Brian Montopoli of Columbia Journalism Review in 2005 labeled MRC "just one part of a wider movement by the far right to demonize corporate media" rather than "make the media better." Additionally, Montpoli wrote that "false equivalence is at the very root of MRC's beliefs."[47]
On a December 22, 2011, Media Research Center president Bozell appeared on Fox News and suggested U.S. President Barack Obama looks like a "skinny ghetto crackhead."[48][49][50] reacting to MSNBC's Chris Matthews' assertions that Newt Gingrich "looks like a car bomber" with "no media backlash."
After the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the New York Times praised Newsbusters for being the first source to report that NBC had selectively edited a recording of a 911 call, which falsely made it look like the caller, George Zimmerman, was the first one to mention Martin's race, when in reality, it was the 911 operator who had first asked Zimmerman about Martin's race. After enduring intense criticism for the edit, NBC responded by firing the producer responsible, who was allegedly based in Miami and had worked with NBC for several years.[51]

Re: Another terribly early 2013 Texans mock.
Martin and Jean have impressed me as well but not enough to remove WR off our list of 2013 draft needs. I think Martin looks very good in the slot as #3WR and with some experience I think Jean has potential to take Walters position next year at #2WR. For the time being I'll keep WR at the top of my list of needs for the 1st round. I'd still like a big time WR that can be a current #2WR with potential to be a #1WR soo. I agree with Jones getting more playing time, I'd like to see him with the 1's at either LG or RG. If the experiment works great if not at least we tried and Jones got some reps. and experience. I really hope that Newton can get better and lock down the RT position either this year or next year and for years to come, eliminating RT as a need in next years draft, we'll see. Butler just isn't playing as well as I expected.

Bespoke Post - Agave (Tequila) "Box of Awesome" Review (self.tequila)
submitted 2 years ago by BespokePostReviews
Here is a quick overview of what comes in the December "Box of Awesome" from Bespoke Post. I hope some of you find it useful.
Every month their is a box of awesome that costs $45 (including S&H)
The total value of everything in the box is ~$63.50 (~$18 savings)
Overall, this is a great box for anyone who is just beginning a bar or would like to upgrade their set. The juicer is very nice and the round ice cubes are very unique. If you are just buying this box for the ice cubes, head over to Cocktail Kingdom and save $35.
Unboxing Video: http://youtu.be/ifTHid2IIiw Bespoke Post Link: http://bit.ly/RwY9Rc
Boston Shaker, Various This classic tool lets you shake and swill. One part tin, one part glass, you'll be crafting the perfect drinks in no time. $10.00
Round Ice Ball Tray, Cocktail Kingdom Ice spheres have a smaller surface area than classic cubes. The slower melt keeps drinks cold with less dilution. Plus, they look really sweet. $6.95
Juicer, Cocktail Kingdom This hinge gets more juice out of every squeeze, which means less time preparing and more time drinking. If it's too early for the sauce, make some fresh juice after your morning run. $16.95
Julep Strainer, Cocktail Kingdom The most versatile of all strainers, the julep can be used with tin or glass and doubles as an ice scoop. Either way, it keeps out the unwanted. $10.95
Jigger, Cocktail Kingdom One ounce on top, two on the bottom, and brushed stainless steel all around _ you'll get your measurements right so your cocktail doesn't go wrong. $8.95
Bonus: Don Julio rocks glasses & recipes, Don Julio Premium tequila is our new go-to. The fine folks at Don Julio provided these heavy-bottomed rocks glasses with their insignia on the base. ~$10.00

I dunno how I feel about this. Your prices seem way too high.
But I can't decide if this is spam... OP, if you're willing to engage in conversation, I'll keep it here. Fair?
[–]BespokePostReviews[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Bespoke Post is getting most of these products from a website Cocktail Kingdom, you can double check the prices there (or just order what you want instead of the whole box).
I couldn't find the exact Shaker or Don Julio glasses, so I just guessed on those.
The link to Bespoke Post is a referral link, just figured I might as well include that, doesn't really hurt anyone. Let me know if I need to change that though.
Also, if you would like to see any further details on these just let me know. Overall I like the box and was on the market for a juicer, shaker and thought the ice cubes were cool.
[–]dmob3 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I meant to reply to you... but yeah
It's a legitimate website, I bought the box, and I'm pretty sure the prices he posted are from their website too.
The Bespoke Post link he gave though is a promotional link for himself, if anyone subscribes using it he gets $25 off of future purchases, so I don't know how you feel about that.
[–]dreluis 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I looked at this box, but had most of the materials. Thought the prices were slightly overpriced.

California University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. The Commission is a voluntary, non-governmental, membership association that defines, maintains, and promotes educational excellence across institutions with diverse missions, student population, and resources.

Program Accreditations ensure a quality learning experience for students at higher education institutions by guaranteeing that programs meet the highest standards. All of our programs that have accrediting bodies have achieved accreditation.
More than 80% of Cal U's academic programs are accredited by national agencies. Our longest standing program accreditation dates to 1954, when our teacher education program was accredited by NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (now known as the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation - CAEP). CAEP advances excellences in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement to strengthen P-12 student learning.
Cal U's faculty continues a long tradition of teaching excellence, scholarly growth, and professional and community service. More than 78% of our faculty members hold doctorates or other terminal degrees, and many are nationally recognized educators, content experts and leaders in their field.
A student-to-faculty ratio of about 22:1 allows our faculty to provide an engaging educational experience. Faculty accomplishments are noted in the Academic Affairs newsletter and the provost's reports to the Cal U Council of Trustees.

Cal U offers a variety of services to help students succeed. Our Office of Student Retention and Success manages: First-Year Seminar, the Math Lab, the Writing Center, the Reading Clinic, the Academic Scheduling and Placement Testing Center.
Peer Mentoring helps new students by matching them with upperclassmen who provide informal guidance and support.
Our Internship Center helps students secure real-world work experience while earning University credits, and Career Services offers Cal's Career Advantage Program to help students develop a career plan starting in their freshman year.
Honors Program
Qualified students can participate in an enhanced educational experience through the Cal U Honors Program. Honor students work with faculty to explore scholarly, professional and artistic interests inside and outside the classroom, in the U.S. and abroad.
A special residence hall and early registration also are available to honors students.
Students at Cal U have a wide variety of computer options throughout campus. Each residence hall has a 24-hour computer lab and each room has at least two Internet connections.

Bill Moyers says Fundamentalist bullies cannot be appeased. they must be confronted
My spiritual forbears did not take kindly to living under theocrats who embraced religious liberty for themselves but denied it to others. �Forced worship stinks in God�s nostrils,� thundered the dissenter Roger Williams as he was banished from Massachusetts for denying Puritan authority over his conscience. Baptists there were a �pitiful negligible minority� but they were agitators for freedom and therefore denounced as �incendiaries of the commonwealth� for holding to their belief in that great democracy of faith-the priesthood of all believers. Journalist Bill Moyers was the Deputy Director of the Peace Corps under founding Director Sargent Shriver.
Bill Moyers says Fundamentalist bullies cannot be appeased. they must be confronted
Reckoning with the God Squad
Fundamentalist bullies cannot be appeased. they must be confronted.
By Bill Moyers
Pat Robertson�s Operation Blessing was one of the first groups to receive taxpayer funds from the President�s Faith-based Initiative for �relief work� on the Gulf coast.
At the Central Baptist Church in Marshall, Texas, where I was baptized in the faith, we believed in a free church in a free state. I still do.
My spiritual forbears did not take kindly to living under theocrats who embraced religious liberty for themselves but denied it to others. �Forced worship stinks in God�s nostrils,� thundered the dissenter Roger Williams as he was banished from Massachusetts for denying Puritan authority over his conscience. Baptists there were a �pitiful negligible minority� but they were agitators for freedom and therefore denounced as �incendiaries of the commonwealth� for holding to their belief in that great democracy of faith-the priesthood of all believers.
Such revolutionary ideas made the new nation with its Constitution and Bill of Rights �a haven for the cause of conscience.� No longer would �the loathsome combination of church and state�-as Thomas Jefferson described it-be the settled order. The First Amendment neither inculcates religion nor inoculates against it. Americans could be loyal to the Constitution without being hostile to God, or they could pay no heed to God without fear of being mugged by an official God Squad. It has been a remarkable arrangement that guaranteed �soul freedom.�
It is at risk now, and the fourth observance of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 is an appropriate time to think about it.
Four years ago, the poet�s prophetic metaphor became real again and �the great dark birds of history� plunged into our lives.
They came in the name of God. They came bent on murder and martyrdom.
Yes, the Koran speaks of mercy and compassion and calls for ethical living. But such passages are no match for the ferocity of instruction found there for waging war for God�s sake: �Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of Evil.�(4:76)
So the holy warriors came-an airborne death cult, their sights on God�s enemies: regular folks, starting the day�s routine one minute and in the next, engulfed by a horrendous cataclysm.
But it is never only the number of dead by which terrorists measure their work. It is also the number of the living-the survivors-taken hostage to fear. The writer Terry Tempest Williams has said �the human heart is the first home of democracy.� Fill that heart with fear and people will give up the risks of democracy for the assurances of security; fill that heart with fear and you can shake the house to its foundations.
Having lost faith in all else, zealots have nothing left but a holy cause to please a warrior God. They win if we become holy warriors, too; if we kill the innocent as they do; strike first at those who had not struck us; allow our leaders to use the fear of terrorism to make us afraid of the truth; cease to think and reason together, allowing others to tell what�s in God�s mind. Yes, we are vulnerable to terrorists, but only a shaken faith in ourselves can do us in.
Muslims have no monopoly on holy violence. As Jack Nelson-Pallmayer points out, God�s violence in the sacred texts of both faiths reflects a deep and troubling pathology �so pervasive, vindictive, and destructive� that it contradicts and subverts the collective weight of other passages that exhort ethical behavior or testify to a loving God.
We know we can go through the Bible and construct a God more pleasing to the better angels of our nature. We also know that the �violence-of-God� tradition remains embedded deep in the DNA of monotheistic faith. Inside that logic you cannot read part of the Bible allegorically and the rest of it literally; if you believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, his crucifixion and resurrection, and the depiction of the Great Judgment at the end times you must also believe that God is sadistic, brutal, vengeful, callow, cruel and savage-that God slaughters.
Let�s go back to 9/11 four years ago. The ruins were still smoldering when the reverends Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell went on television to proclaim that the terrorist attacks were God�s punishment of a corrupted America. They said the government had adopted the agenda �of the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians� not to mention the ACLU and People for the American Way (The God of the Bible apparently holds liberals in the same low esteem as Hittites and Gergushites and Jebusites and all the other pagans of holy writ.) Critics said such comments were deranged. But millions of Christian fundamentalists and conservatives didn�t think so. They thought Robertson and Falwell were being perfectly consistent with the logic of the Bible as they read it: God withdraws favor from sinful nations-the terrorists were meant to be God�s wake-up call: better get right with God. Not many people at the time seemed to notice that Osama bin Laden had also been reading his sacred book closely and literally, and had called on Muslims to resist what he described as a �fierce Judeo-Christian campaign� against Islam, praying to Allah for guidance �to exalt the people who obey Him and humiliate those who disobey Him.�
Suddenly we were immersed in the pathology of a �holy war� as defined by fundamentalists on both sides. You could see this pathology play out in General William Boykin. As a member of the U.S. military, Boykin had taken up with a small group called the Faith Force Multiplier whose members apply military principles to evangelism with a manifesto summoning warriors �to the spiritual warfare for souls.� In uniform, Boykin attended evangelical revivals preaching that America was in a holy war as �a Christian nation� battling Satan and that America�s Muslim adversaries will be defeated �only if we come against them in the name of Jesus.� For such an hour, America surely needed a godly leader. So General Boykin explained how it was that the candidate who had lost the election in 2000 nonetheless wound up in the White House. President Bush, he said, �was not elected by a majority of the voters-he was appointed by God.� Not surprising, instead of being reprimanded for evangelizing while in uniform, General Boykin is now the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. (Just as it isn�t surprising that despite his public call for the assassination of a foreign head of state, Pat Robertson�s Operation Blessing was one of the first groups to receive taxpayer funds from the President�s Faith-Based Initiative for �relief work� on the Gulf Coast.)
We can�t wiggle out of this. We�re talking about a powerful religious constituency that claims the right to tell us what�s on God�s mind and to decide the laws of the land according to their interpretation of biblical revelation and to enforce those laws on the nation as a whole. For the Bible is not just the foundational text of their faith; it has become the foundational text for a political movement.
The radical religious right has succeeded in taking over one of America�s great political parties-the country is not yet a theocracy but the Republican Party is-and they are driving American politics, using God as a battering ram on almost every issue: crime and punishment, foreign policy, health care, taxation, energy, regulation, social services and so on.
They have brought intensity, organization, and anger to the public square. They use the language of faith to demonize political opponents, mislead and misinform voters, censor writers and artists, ostracize dissenters, and marginalize the poor. These are the foot soldiers in a political holy war financed by wealthy economic interests and guided by savvy partisan operatives who know that couching political ambition in religious rhetoric can ignite the passion of followers.
In recent weeks a movement called the Ohio Restoration Project has been launched to identify and train thousands of �Patriot Pastors� to get out the conservative religious vote next year. According to press reports, the leader of the movement-the senior pastor of a large church in suburban Columbus -casts the 2006 elections as an apocalyptic clash between �the forces of righteousness and the hordes of hell.� The fear and loathing in his message is palpable: He denounces public schools that won�t teach creationism, require teachers to read the Bible in class or allow children to pray. He rails against the �secular jihadists� who have �hijacked� America and prevent school kids from learning that Hitler was �an avid evolutionist.� He blasts the �pagan left� for trying to redefine marriage. He declares that �homosexual rights� will bring �a flood of demonic oppression.� On his church Web site you read, �Reclaiming the teaching of our Christian heritage among America�s youth is paramount to a sense of national destiny that God has invested into this nation.�
The corporate, political and religious right have converged, led by a president who, in his own disdain for science, reason and knowledge, is the most powerful fundamentalist in American history. And radicals on the Christian right are now the dominant force in America�s governing party. They control much of the U.S. government and are on the verge of having it all. Without them the government would not be in the hands of people who don�t believe in government. They are culpable in upholding a system of class and race in which, as we saw last week, the rich escape and the poor are left behind. And they are on a crusade against government �of, by, and for the people� in favor of one based on Biblical authority. So the Grand Old Party-the GOP-has become God�s Own Party, its ranks made up of God�s Own People �marching as to war.�
It has to be said that their success has come in no small part because of our acquiescence and timidity. Our democratic values are imperiled because too many people of reason are willing to appease irrational people just because they are pious. Republican moderates tried appeasement and survive today only in gulags set aside for them by the Karl Roves, Bill Frists and Tom DeLays. Democrats are divided and paralyzed, afraid that if they take on the organized radical right they will lose what little power they have.
As I look back on the conflicts and clamor of our boisterous past, one lesson about democracy stands above all others: Bullies-political bullies, economic bullies and religious bullies-cannot be appeased; they have to be opposed with a stubbornness to match their own. This is never easy; these guys don�t fight fair; �Robert�s Rules of Order� is not one of their holy texts. But freedom on any front-and especially freedom of conscience-never comes to those who rock and wait, hoping someone else will do the heavy lifting.
Christian realism requires us to see the world as it is, without illusions, and then take it on. Christian realism also requires love. But not a sentimental, dreamy love. Reinhold Niebuhr, who taught at Union Theological Seminary and wrestled constantly with applying Christian ethics to political life, put it this way: �When we talk about love we have to become mature or we will become sentimental. Basically love means � being responsible, responsibility to our family, toward our civilization, and now by the pressures of history, toward the universe of humankind.�
Christian realists aren�t afraid to love. But just as the Irishman who came upon a brawl in the street and asked, �Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?� we have to take that love where the action is. Or the world will remain a theatre of war between fundamentalists.

Peace Corps Online The Independent News Forum serving Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
Returned Volunteers respond to Hurricane Katrina
First and foremost, Give. Carol Bellamy says "In situations such as this one, money is needed the most" and added that Hurricane Katrina's impact on New Orleans is comparable to last year's tsunami. Thailand RPCV Thomas Tighe's Direct Relief International has committed an initial $250,000 in cash to assist hurricane victims. Mayor Tom Murphy (RPCV Paraguay) says Pittsburgh is ready to embrace refugees from devastated areas. Mark Shriver of Save the Children says it will assist rural communities it serves in rebuilding. Brazil RPCV Robert Backus is among the first Vermont doctors to volunteer to travel to Louisiana to treat victims. Ohio Governor Bob Taft (RPCV Tanzania) says students displaced by "Katrina" can enroll in Ohio Colleges and Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (RPCV Tunisia) is sending soldiers to help residents of Louisiana. Do you know what it means to lose New Orleans? Contact your local Red Cross to Volunteer.
Military Option sparks concerns
The U.S. military, struggling to fill its voluntary ranks, is allowing recruits to meet part of their reserve military obligations after active duty by serving in the Peace Corps. Read why there is opposition to the program among RPCVs. Director Vasquez says the agency has a long history of accepting qualified applicants who are in inactive military status. John Coyne says "Not only no, but hell no!" and RPCV Chris Matthews leads the debate on "Hardball." Latest: Avi Spiegel says Peace Corps is not the place for soldiers while Coleman McCarthy says to Welcome Soldiers to the Peace Corps. RPCVs: Read our poll results.
Why blurring the lines puts PCVs in danger
When the National Call to Service legislation was amended to include Peace Corps in December of 2002, this country had not yet invaded Iraq and was not in prolonged military engagement in the Middle East, as it is now. Read the story of how one volunteer spent three years in captivity from 1976 to 1980 as the hostage of a insurrection group in Colombia in Joanne Marie Roll's op-ed on why this legislation may put soldier/PCVs in the same kind of danger.
The Peace Corps Library
Peace Corps Online is proud to announce that the Peace Corps Library is now available online. With over 30,000 index entries in 500 categories, this is the largest collection of Peace Corps related stories in the world. From Acting to Zucchini, you can find hundreds of stories about what RPCVs with your same interests or from your Country of Service are doing today. If you have a web site, support the "Peace Corps Library" and link to it today.
Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.

Saab 95 Replacement Brake Rotors Information
To maintain the luxury and comfort you selected with your Saab 95, it's crucial to select only the best names in brand name parts. Would it be smart to expend a large payment on a fine luxury car, if you plan to cut costs on replacement car parts? High-status sedans like your well-appointed Saab 95 were made to be made use of carefully and then always given proper repairs. Saab vehicles have developed a lasting and distinctive reputation for creating luxury-level distinction. Always trust the solid engineering of legendary Saab car designs for extended life. The Saab you chose was designed using the best care and skill; it deserves new replacement parts with a similar high level of quality. Saab makes cars that keep your family safe, but it's the driver's job to establish that all needed safety parts are installed and operative. The law requires your car or truck to have the needed safety parts, for example lights and brake components - save yourself from traffic tickets or, even worse, avoidable accidents by installing the correct parts and accessories. Most styles of Saab 95 Brake Rotors feature ventilation slots to facilitate heat dispersal, to increase the component's lifespan. A functional pair of Saab 95 Brake Rotors is used to produce resistance between the brake pads and brake calipers, causing the vehicle to slow down. When brake pads are changed, Saab 95 Brake Rotors needs to be examined at the same time as a faulty rotor may lead to the lack of control or braking ability.

The state of the economic recovery is fragile. The state of political Washington is paralyzed. And the state of the Republican Party is so divided that it couldn't even agree on a single response to President Barack Obama's Tuesday State of the Union address.
In the lead-up to the speech, the White House let it be known that the president would be focusing on jobs, on the economy, on the middle class.
He did – if one counts the words and time spent on economic matters. But what really stood out, what clearly energized Obama – and the lawmakers and others in attendance – was Obama's talk of sensible gun control efforts.
Comprehensive background checks. Restrictions on the size of the magazines that carry ammunition.
These, and other plans to reduce gun violence, must be voted on by the Congress, the president stressed.
"Gabby Giffords deserves a vote!" the president fairly boomed. ""The families of Newtown deserve a vote! The families of Aurora deserve a vote!"
He was forceful, too, on immigration, on climate change, on voting reforms.
A re-elected president has some political capital to spend – and only a limited amount of time to spend it. By this time next year, much of Washington will be focused on the off-year elections, on whether Democrats stand any chance of picking up the 17 seats in the House that would give them the majority. Key observers have already begun to handicap the odds, with few finding smooth sailing for Democrats.
Obama's time is now. He knows that the Republican-controlled House isn't going to pass much of his economic agenda. But the GOP may, in fact, go along on some gun-control measures, on immigration.
The state of the union, the president said, is strong. And the mood of the people, he clearly believes, is set on reform.
Editorial: President Obama offers reform-minded agenda

Insolvent liquidation — a guide
By Patricia Godfrey and Emma Lloyd
This note provides a short summary of the two formal insolvent liquidation processes. Each insolvent liquidation is different and specific advice should be taken in individual cases.
Insolvent liquidation (or winding up) is one of the ways in which the affairs of an insolvent company may be wound up. It represents the beginning of the end for a company and may be initiated as an independent process, or follow a company voluntary arrangement, receivership or administration. It can also co-exist with a receivership. The company's business will typically cease on the company going into any form of liquidation, except so far as may be required for its beneficial winding up. The company will be automatically dissolved three months after the liquidation ends (unless an appeal against dissolution is lodged).
There are two types of insolvent liquidation, namely creditors' voluntary liquidation and compulsory liquidation…

Built on the side of the mythical Rock of Monaco, the Oceanographic Museum has been watching over the oceans for over a century. Founded by the Prince Albert I, great grandfather of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, it was designed as a Palace entirely dedicated to Art and Science.
From the aquariums to the collections of Natural History, including the Shark Lagoon and the Turtle's Island situated on the panoramic terrace, the Museum offers to visitors a unique learning experience to know, love and protect the oceans.
Faithful to the vision of its Founder «to gather together in a common eclat the two driving forces of civilization: Art and Science», the Oceanographic Museum opens its doors to contemporary art and hosts major exhibitions by renown international artists like Damien Hirst, Huang Yong Ping, Mark Dion and Marc Quinn.
