Jim Leach, ninth chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, spoke at Samford University on July 29th, 2010. Drawing on his 30 years experience in the United States Congress as a Republican representative from Iowa, Leach led a discussion on the critical need for greater civility in the nation's political life. Appointed to the NEH by President Obama in 2009, Leach has also served on the faculty at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, and as interim director of the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Leach's presentation was part of the continuing A. Gerow Hodges Lectures in Ethics & Leadership, hosted by the Mann Center. The forum was co-sponsored by the Alabama Humanities Foundation and the Birmingham Area Consortium for Higher Education.
Before Thursday night's event, Dr. John Knapp spoke with Mr. Leach on civility in politics. Similar interviews with other thought leaders are available here.

This is a stylish shoe; however, it did not wear well. The shoe has a thick heel but it felt unstable and when I walked in them I felt like I was wobbling, so I returned them.

About Capital Cities
Capital Cities tours with Katy Perry
It's been more than a year since Capital Cities released its debut full-length album, "In a Tidal Wave of Mystery." Longer still since the project's first single, "Safe and Sound," was first heard in promotional campaigns for the likes of HBO, Smart Car, Microsoft, Mazda and more. And as the calendar keeps rolling forward, the one thing we can conclude is that the duo is no longer a mystery and their continued popularity is a pretty safe bet.
Shortly after the release of their debut LP, Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian went on their very first North American trek, dubbed the "Dancing With Strangers" tour. It included special guest Gold Fields and kicked off at the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, Arizona. A date at New York City's famed Irving Plaza sold out some two months in advance, and the guys also performed at Sundance, SXSW, Sweetlife and ULTRA.
As the popularity of Capital Cities went through the roof, the duo became known for their creative approach to music videos. "Safe and Sound" featured a mash-up of the past 100 years of dance and was nominated for two 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, winning for Best Visual Effects. The video for the follow-up single "Kangaroo Court" tells the story of a zebra who has been forbidden from a club called (you guessed it) The Kangaroo Court. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video.
Capital Cities is currently opening for Katy Perry on the North American leg of her Prismatic World Tour, which will wrap in October 2014.
Capital Cities Takes the World By Storm (Created April 24, 2013)
A Los Angeles-based duo that found fame via the Internet, Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian have come together as the alt-dance group Capital Cities. From their self-titled debut EP to the uplifting single "Safe and Sound," their brand of electronic-infused pop rock has suddenly and sincerely taken the world by storm.
From one city to another, their popularity continues to soar; it has as much to do with their back story as it does with their music. Simonian was born in war-torn Syria to Armenian parents, but raised in Lebanon until the age of six when his family escaped civil war. He studied piano and voice and sang in choirs, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in music. And he met Merchant -- a bit of a child prodigy in his own right -- thanks to nothing more than a Craigslist ad for music production services.
Think the story can't get better? It does. Merchant and Simonian had such a natural chemistry, their success was nearly instantaneous. An independent self-titled EP attracted a buzz and a host of positive reviews. Influential blogs helped the duo's stock soar, and before long they had self-financed a successful radio campaign and planned tours that took them to South America, Europe and everywhere in between.
In December 2012, Capital Cities signed to Capitol Records. They are expected to release their debut full length album this summer. Supporting the project is the "Dancing with Strangers" tour, set to roll through 35 U.S. cities this spring and summer.
The 25 Highest Grossing Tours of the Summer
As far as live music goes, this summer was one filled with epic collaborations, musical icons and pop starlets. From Paul McCartney to Beyonce & Jay Z, The Eagles to One Direction, the season offered something for everyone. But with such fierce competition, who came out on top?

Locate the replacement FMC idler you need below. It is important to know that idlers are not the same as pulleys. There are parts called idler pulleys, but they are actually pulleys. The difference is that a pulley will have a notch (or some other device) to fix it to a shaft that it rotates around, while an idler rotates freely around bearings at its center.

Women's Volleyball Outlasts Winston-Salem St.
October 18, 2013
MISENHEIMER, NC – The sophomore duo of Brianna Jones and Kelsey Blauser combined for 29 kills as the Pfeiffer women's volleyball team (6-14) outlasted Winston-Salem State 3-2 on Friday night. The team's alternated the first four sets before the Lady Falcons won the decisive fifth set, 15-12.
Jones led the Lady Falcons with 16 kills, the sixth straight match she has paced the team, and finished with a .306 hitting percentage. Blauser smashed 13 kills and added four blocks.
Each of the first three sets produced 25-22 scored with Pfeiffer taking two of three. In the first set, Pfeiffer posted game highs in kills with 15, and hitting percentage at .258. Jones willed Pfeiffer to victory, with six kills in the first frame.
The second set went to the visiting Rams but Pfeiffer came back with a big win in the third stanza. Despite falling behind 7-3, the Lady Falcons would score 10 of the next 13 points to grab a 13-10 lead. The game would be tied eight more times before Winston-Salem pulled ahead 21-19. Pfeiffer would rally again, taking six of the last seven points and Megan Davis cemented the victory with a huge kill.
The fourth set went to the Rams by a score of 25-15, forcing the final frame. The Lady Falcons stormed out by scoring the first three points, and four of the first five. The Rams would cut the lead to two points on four separate occasions, before tying the game at 10. A hitting error gave the Lady Falcons a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Jones added a service ace and Blauser and senior Anna Vizvary combined for a block to push the lead to three. Kelly Lancellot ended the match with a monster kill on an assist from Emily Wall, her 24th of the match.
Lauren Carman dished out 19 assists in the match and three Lady Falcons posted double-digit kills led by 12 from Haley Denny. Lancellot and Vizvary each had two blocks and Jones finished with four aces.
The Lady Falcons return to action on Tuesday night when they travel to Francis Marion for a 7 p.m. match.

A few things to know if you go to Berlin. Don't cross the street unless the crosswalk light is green (you'll likely get a scolding), hardly anywhere takes credit cards (cash works everywhere—and people are happy to give change), the coffee is great (so drink as much as you can, since you'll need it), and the city changes quickly, from being gray and bleak at one moment, changing into a sunny and inviting place just after you turn a corner.
Another thing to know is to remain on the constant lookout for laugencroissants, which I'll get to a little later.
I wasn't sure what to make of Berlin before I got there. I'd heard it was hip, perhaps a little wild, kinetic, and quite vibrant. I was only there for a few days, but I managed to ping from one side of the city to another, exploring the various districts and neighborhoods, and unlike a lot of other big cities, I found everyone to be relatively cool and not stressed out and frantic. Berliners seem to be trying to fit into their new skin, often appearing in different guises.

I purchased this item for an event that requires a garment such as this particular kind . The material is great as it has a combination of two fabrics. It's grandma- ish looking, but for a retreat of such that I have to attend in late summer of next year, I found the price alluring and it's overall appeal, rather homely...but it is what it is for the use , again, I need it for its use.

Re: Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED
Hi Bird201, I think a lot of people are looking for the kind of thorough review that DxOMark do for the Nikon 3000f4, the 300f4 plus TC-14E ii, and the Canon 400f5.6. ::) There is no substitute for these lenses in the keen amateur ("prosumer") bird photography market. It's widely acknowledged that the long tele-zooms are not sharp where needed (at the long end), as DxO's own results show - something people usually find out too late :'( The exceptions are usually too expensive (eg 200-400 f4). Even professionals use the Nikon 300f4 plus TC-14E ii combo and swear by it (eg: http://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-300mm-f4d)
People often um-and-ah about whether to go Nikon 300f4+TC14 or Canon 400f5.6 (eg see: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1067193/0).
The only review site I have found that allows a comparison of both on the same terms is photozone.de, where the 300f4+TC14 (and 300f4+TC17) results are included along with the 300f4 alone:
It would be a fantastic contribution if DxOMark could so an article comparing the Nikon 300f4, 300f4+TC14 and Canon 400f5.6 and asking what the best options are for amateur birders 8)

Minor corrections to list
Hi DxO,
Just some minor notes/suggestions regarding your "Other lenses that are not yet included in our tested database but should also be considered include" list:
The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM and Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM are each listed twice.
Both the Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF (listed but with no hyperlink) and the Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S (not listed) have been tested:
Maybe lenses already tested could be moved into the "Lenses that fall firmly into this particular category in our test database include" list.
Thanks guys, you do a fantastic job :)

DxO Mark for Nikon 300f4 (plus TC-14E) and Canon 400f5.6
Thanks DxO team for this great collection! I am a keen bird photographer, so it is highly relevant.
Two VERY important lenses are missing from a keen amateur/portable professional view. There are no DxO marks on the AF-S Nikon 300mm f/4 - almost always paired with a TC-14E ii by nature photographers - and for Canon users, the Canon 400mm f/5.6L.
Almost without exception the long telephoto zooms are not sharp at the long end (400-600mm) where amateur bird photographers are interested. The few exceptions are pricey (like the Nikon 80-400 f/4.5-5.6G) or out of reach of most amateurs (the Nikon 200-400 f/4). Some reviewers (eg Nasim Mansurov at Photography Life) even recommend the Nikon 300f4/TC-14E combination above the Nikon 80-400 f/4.5-5.6G.
I would dearly like to see you DxOMark the 300f/4 alone and in combination with the TC-14E ii - a popular combination seen as sharp and often used after amateurs who have given up on their third party telezooms reaching 500mm to 600mm after realising they are not sharp!
In anticipation...

Miss some...
Hey guys,
What is alway the thing with this tests, which is a lot of times lately.
It looks like you guys have already favorites and push the 'test' in a direction.
Why al these really old rather crappy Tamrons? I mis the best ones! The VC versions are a lot better then these old versions of 2000 and 2004! Even if the have stabalisation and sometimes it does not work well because of the tripod or fast shutters speed, keep in mind you can always switch them off...
Then i mis a really versatile lens, the Sigma 50-500 OS HSM if you guys talk about reach in the intro you really have to put this one in the test because it has an amzing reach.
Also consider testing some of the faster lenses with tele converter.
I understand thatbit is a lot more work but with this short list I think you don't give the whole thing an objective look for readers.

HI Arend,
As you noticed it is a lot of work and we had to do some choices…
For this article we try to highlight some good value telephoto zoom.
In this article we reviewed a lot of high end telephoto prime (Canon and Sony) and we should publish some results of famous Nikon primes very soon.
Your remark about extender is very relevant but we won't have time to measure it for now.
I you want to have an idea about the influence of an extender on image quality, have a look on our last review about the Canon EF200-400mm f/2.8 1.4x.

Bonjour. La nouvelle mouture du zoom 80-400 de Nikon, vient de sortir. À un prix exorbitant ! Plus de deux fois le modèle précédent ! Dans le même style que votre comparaison 70-200 f4, 70-200 f2,8 Nikon et Canon, je serai extrêmement intéressé par une comparaison des deux versions du 80-400 Nikon (ancienne et nouvelle), avec le 100-400 Canon.
Merci d'avance. Je brûle d'impatience !
Added by loic | February 23, 2013
keep your money!
- weight make 2,8 impossible to use in wildlife without tripod!
- at 5,6, a 200 dollar lens is the same quality optically than a 1500 canon or nikon "pro" lense!!!!!
photographer, I successfully use a 200$ lens without stabilization:
- for "birding" speed is upper 1/500s
- in low ligth cndition
using a tripod is better than stabilsation.
prefer to use this money for the camera!!!
Added by loic | February 23, 2013
en français!
Enfin un comparatif!
J'ai toujours affirmé:
- soit il faut acheter un 2,8 avec le problème de le porter (3kg!!!!)
- soit IL N Y A AUCUNE DIFFERENCE DE QUALITE OPTIQUE ENTRE LES MODELES CHERS OU NON
Donc en photographie animalière ALLER AU MOINS CHER les marques nikon ou canon font beaucoup d'argent avec des optiques quasi identiques, canon prétend meme que son zoom est "pro"....
J'utilise une optique à 200$ je suis photographe et les résultats sont très bons, juste un peu de retouche pour le 300mm!
Les optiques à plus de 1000$ n'apportent rien sauf léger mieux pour l'AF quand à la stabilisation elle est suvent inutiles:
- en "birding" on est à plus de 1/500e
- en affut, le trépied!!!

Telephoto zoom lens for Nikon over 300mm
Your enquiry concerning zooms for wild life photos is highly welcome...but in your tests or future tests no 400mm, 600mm, 800mm Nikon...
Most amateur photographs are looking for wildlife zooms at a good second hand price: 1500 - 2500 euros
Ken Rockwell on his site suggest to use a 400mm AF I F2,8 and a TC 14 E teleconverter: this is the kind of equipment you should test for people who can't afford a brand new nikon lens...
There is a big potential market there, and also, a company like yours, could offer a test bench where we could get a test of a second-hand lens, at a fair price, so as to see if its worth buying it...
The potential sellers and buyers could then do the deal in total confidence, or publish in their selling advertisement the test you had done for them. (Cost of test should be around 100 to 150 euros)...

Re: Telephoto zoom lens for Nikon over 300mm
Thanks for your very relevant comment.
We made the choice to specifically focus in this comparison on telephoto-zooms with a maximum focal superior or equal to 300mm.
Fix focals of 300, 400, 600 or 800mm type, whatever their brands, are indeed well-indicated for wildlife photography. As we already have some long focals in our database, this kind of lenses will be tackled in further comparisons.
The lenses you suggested are very relevant and we are going to add them to our list. In this regard, we welcome any suggestions of yours concerning other lenses we might include in ours reviews.

Hi guys,
First post here, so I'll just introduce myself briefly by saying that I'm a relatively experienced tube amp builder, but am just getting started with effects. Some of you I probably know from other forums. For the rest - Hi! I'm Paul, you'll be seeing more of me.
To get my feet wet with PCB layout, I'm planning on building a Rangemaster variant that incorporates RG's charge pump and original JFET based Millennium bypass. You can find a proposed PCB layout and schematic on my amp blog: http://wombatamps.blogspot.com/2012/01/dipping-toe-into-pedal-world.html
Anyway, the main question unresolved question I have before diving in surrounds the appropriate ground scheme that I need for this beastie.
As you can see on the blog, the schematic shows both C6 and C4, which uncouple the -Ve 9VDC to the charge pump ground and the effects circuit ground respectively. Only C4 is currently on the PCB.
Do you think I should have both of these capacitors, or just one or the other? C4 was from the original Rangemaster, whereas C6 is from the implementation of RG's charge pump on tonepad: http://www.tonepad.com/getFileInfo.asp?id=118
Normally, I don't think it would be a big deal, but evidently there are potential noise issues with the charge pump. Maybe I'm slightly confused about where RG is saying the big charging currents are coming from? http://www.geofex.com/circuits/+9_to_-9.htm

Daft, dazzling Tarantino does it again in 'Django'
The Weinstein Company
Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx in "Django Unchained," about a slave trying to rescue his wife from a Mississippi plantation.
Andrew Cooper, The Weinstein Company / Associated
Jamie Foxx is Django and Leonardo DiCaprio is Calvin Candle, a plantation owner, in "Django Unchained."
The answer is, of course, Quentin Tarantino. No one else would have, could have, possibly dreamed up this mad movie fantasia, but then that pretty much describes Tarantino's entire career.
Like his 2009 "Inglourious Basterds," the new one is a wish-fulfillment version of history. Set pre-Civil War America, it creates a scenario in which an escaped slave named Django (Jamie Foxx) might execute revenge against a plantation owner (an unusually animated Leonardo DiCaprio) who holds Django's wife (Kerry Washington) in captivity.
Getting to that point will require a longish 165 minutes of looping, winding storytelling, ranging from shocking violence to "Blazing Saddles"-style humor. The wackiest example of the latter is a sequence involving a posse of hood-wearing vigilantes who must put their attack on hold while they discuss how difficult it is to see out of the little eyeholes in the hoods. Perhaps that's Tarantino's answer to "Birth of a Nation."
Django is liberated from a brutal slavekeeper by an itinerant German bounty hunter named King Schultz (Christoph Waltz, the Oscar-winner from "Inglourious"). Schultz makes a bargain: He'll grant Django his legal freedom if he spends a winter helping Schultz claim bounties on wanted men.
Deal. This plot is fairly simple, as many revenge fantasies are. Yet Tarantino seems less interested in riling up the audience into a lather -- as those grindhouse movies he cherishes were so good at doing -- as he is in upending our expectations.
The film is laced with references to other movies, beginning with the title. "Django" was a 1966 spaghetti western that Tarantino taps for music and other cues. Its star was Franco Nero, who gets a rather laborious cameo here.
Amidst all the goofiness, Tarantino deploys his talent for sustained, suspenseful and wonderfully talky scenes. (Christoph Waltz is especially glourious -- er, glorious -- at the dialogue sequences.) A moment shared by Django and Schultz as they peer down from a hill at a potential target is philosophical in a way both thoughtful and funny.
And there's a great scene involving a cave and a campfire, in which the nature of storytelling itself is elucidated. A scene like that won't be included when people mention the movie's horrifying explosions of violence, or its wildly risky deployment of a calculating plantation slave (Samuel L. Jackson, kind of brilliant).
Because one walks away from "Django Unchained" reeling from the audacity of it all, it's a little challenging to rate the film in any definitive way. It's not a western or a parody or an homage or an exploitation picture, but a combination of those all things. We call it a Quentin Tarantino movie -- and, yes, the man has become his own film genre.
"Django Unchained" (3� stars)
A crazy offering from Quentin Tarantino, about a pre-Civil War slave (Jamie Foxx) who teams up with a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to go after a plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). This one's a typical Tarantino brew of violence, humor and homages to other movies, and it detonates its best sequences with regularity, if not brevity (it runs 165 minutes).
Rated: R for violence, language, subject matter.
Showing: Alderwood Mall, Cinebarre, Everett Stadium, Galaxy Monroe, Marysville, Meridian, Thornton Place, Varsity, Woodinville, Cascade Mall.

Club competitions
National team competitions
23-9, 24-17, 23-12, 21-29
Petri Virtanen's 23 points paced five players in double figures as Joensuun Kataja opened Group B play of the EuroChallenge with a convincing 91-67 victory at home over CSU Asesoft Ploiesti.
Jerald Fields scored 16 points for the Finnish hosts while Jermaine Flowers added 13 points and Johnell Smith and Antti Kanervo each tallied 12 points for the winners.
Darius Hargrove scored 21 points and Vladimir Tica had a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds in a losing effort for the Romanians.
Asesoft jumped out to a 5-3 lead early but it was short lived. Virtanen converted a four-point play and Juho Nenonen made two three-pointers in an 18-2 run as Joensuun began to take control of the game, leading 23-9 after one quarter.
The onslaught had already started and the second quarter featured a big three-point play by Flowers and a third triple by Virtanen as the lead increased to 23 points. Joensuun were ahead 47-26 at halftime.
The Finns were just too dominant though Hargrove did all he could to keep Ploiesti in the game. But the cushion ballooned to 32 points, 70-38, after three quarters.
The advantage grew to 33 points - 71-38 - before Asesoft finally picked up their game and were able to cut into the deficit, bringing it down to 21 points at 87-66.
Kataja head coach Jukka Toijala"I am very happy and pleased about the way we played. We had better energy than the opponent team and that was the main reason for our win today."
Kataja point guard Petri Virtanen"The whole team played very well and executed the game-plan perfectly."
CSU Asesoft Ploiesti head coach Vladimir Arnautovic"We knew how Kataja is playing but somehow the players couldn't execute our game-plan at all. We were prepared but the result is a big dissapointment for us."
CSU Asesoft Ploiesti shooting guard Levente Szijarto"Even though we knew how Kataja is playing defense and is running the floor, we couldn't match-up against them. Kataja was the better team today, but I don't think that the score tells the whole truth about our teams."

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine if there is a problem with your body's electrolyte balance or acid-base balance and to monitor treatment
When to Get Tested?
As part of a standard electrolyte panel or metabolic panel or if your doctor thinks that you have an electrolyte imbalance
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm; sometimes a random or 24-hour urine sample
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Chloride is an electrolyte. It is a negatively charged ion that works with other electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate, to help regulate the amount of fluid in the body and maintain the acid-base balance. Chloride is present in all body fluids but is found in the highest concentration in the blood and in the fluid outside of the body's cells. Most of the time, chloride concentrations mirror those of sodium, increasing and decreasing for the same reasons and in direct relationship to sodium. When there is an acid-base imbalance, however, blood chloride levels can change independently of sodium levels as chloride acts as a buffer. It helps to maintain electrical neutrality at the cellular level by moving into or out of the cells as needed.
Chloride is taken into the body through food and table salt, which is made up of sodium and chloride ions. Most of the chloride is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, and the excess is excreted in urine. The normal blood level remains steady, with a slight drop after meals (because the stomach produces acid after eating, using chloride from blood).
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm. Chloride can also be measured in a random or 24-hour urine sample.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Cold Shooting Sinks Women's Basketball
January 25, 2014
GAFFNEY, S.C. - The Pfeiffer women's basketball team (2-15, 1-8 CC) suffered its worst shooting night of the season in a 73-43 loss at conference-leading Limeston (13-4, 8-1). The Falcons shot just 22.4 percent from the field in the game and dropped their sixth straight game. Precilla Hill led all scorers with 20 points in 21 minutes for the Saints and did most of her damage from the free throw line, going 12-for-13.
Pfeiffer was led by 11 points from Carter Williams and Ariana Tillman led the way with eight rebounds.
Alicia Brookins came one rebound shy of a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing nine boards for Limestone. Celestra Warren added 10 points off the bench.
Pfeiffer shot a frigid 13.3 percent on 4-of-30 shooting in the first half. Limestone took advantage of the Falcons' struggles, running out to a 22-4 lead. Hill had 14 of her 20 in the first half as Limestone took a 36-14 lead into the break. Lauren Janka had two of Pfeiffer's four first half field goals.
The Falcons were unable to get back into the game in the second half as 10 different Limestone players scored.
The Saints had a huge advantage from the free throw line, outscoring Pfeiffer 24-6 from the charity stripe. Limestone also dominated on the boards with a 61-39 advantage.
Pfeiffer will look to stop their losing skid on Wednesday evening when they travel to Converse for a 5:30 p.m. matchup.

I can remember well when my love for tea began. About 10 years ago I moved to Virginia and met a wonderful woman, Miss Nancy who just loves everything tea from gorgeous tea pots, tea, cute little healthy sandwiches, to her amazing home made scones. I went to one tea party hosted by Miss Nancy, and I was introduced to world that went far beyond my small concepts of tea. It included everything from gourmet herbal teas to healthy green teas to exotic teas in loose leaf form. To put it simply, I. Was. Hooked.
Fast forward and I have now moved to a different state and haven't seen Miss Nancy in about six years, but the love for tea she awakened in me is just as strong today as it was 10 years ago when I attended my first tea party.
I was completely Delighted this week to receive a box from The Boston Tea Company containing a variety of teas for me to try. I received the Fair Trade Certified Cranberry & Blood Orange Rooibos Red Tea, Earl Grey Green Tea, Gingerbread Spice Tea, Blackberry Black Tea, and Finest Grade Coconut Joy Black Tea.
It was a hard choice choosing which I would drink, but I decided to try the Blood Orange Rooibos Red Tea first because I can just see Miss Nancy now selecting this tea to drink while teaching the Ladies' Sunday School Class. I was not disappointed. It is a really light tea with just the right balance of both the Cranberry and Blood Orange flavors. It smelled so good that I caught my 12 year old Max sneaking a sip and I gave in and let him make his own cup.

Kinston basketball made history earlier this year, as both the boys' and girls' teams won state championships.
It was the first title for the school's girls' team.
However, it's a new year for both Vikings' program, with basketball practice opening Wednesday.
The boys
The Vikings repeated as 2A state champions in March, defeating finals opponent Waxhaw Cuthbertson the second time around with a close 56-53 win. They went undefeated in the Eastern Plans 2A, while finishing 28-2 overall.
With conference realignment, Kinston will join the Eastern Carolina 2A.
Kinston coach Perry Tyndall enters his second year at the helm of the Vikings and said because of the basketball program's usual success, the guys aren't pressured this early.
The team lost four-year varsity guard Josh Dawson and forward Denzel Keyes, the state championship game MVP, along with six other seniors from a year ago. Keyes led the Vikings in scoring with 18 points per game, adding 7.6 rebounds per game. Dawson led the conference with 6.8 assists per game.
However, the Vikings do return big-time recruit Junior forward Brandon Ingram along with other key pieces that can help step up.
"Josh was an unbelievable point guard and Denzel was a player that played four different positions on the floor sometimes," Tyndall said. "I think the guys that are coming back know what those guys did well, and we're not looking for anyone to be those guys. We're not trying to necessarily replace, but we've got to find people to do the good things that they did."
Ingram, the 6-foot-7 swingman was a major cog in the Kinston program last season with 45 blocked shots for the season but will assume an even larger role this year.
"It's been rumored that I would have to carry the team a lot, but we have a lot of fire power this year," he said. "We just have a lot guys that are going to come in and develop a lot. It all starts in practice. We just have to play hard in practice and it carries over to the game."
Ingram has seven scholarship offers so far, including UNC and N.C. State.
"With the attention he's gotten, he's going to have a little bit more of a bull's eye on him," Tyndall said. "We've never had to solely rely on person, but we've got guys that have been a part of it that maybe had different roles last year and will be looked upon this year to do bigger things."
Key returners include Ingram, Andrew Lopez, Darnell Dunn, Mykel Hart, Travon Jones, Qwari Ham and Tiquan Canady.
Kinston basketball will have length this year to use defensively. The Vikings will also look to rely on what Tyndall calls "unselfish play" when they don't make transition plays.
"We want to get out and go, we want to run and we want to hang our hat on our solid defense," Tyndall said. "From a team perspective … we've got to get better in some areas just going from the summer to now. We want to improve as much as we can."
The Girls
The Vikings' first state title has gone down in Kinston's annals, so it's time to focus on the 2013-14 season.
Kinston finished last season undefeated in the Eastern Plains 2A and 27-4 overall, with an 18-game winning streak carrying the girls to their first state championship with a 51-40 win over Canton Pisgah in March.
"These kids have gotten better since last year," said Kinston coach Hubert Quinerly, who enters his third season as the head coach. "We do recognize that we have a bull's eye on our chest. We'll come in this season as state champions, and people are going to look to knock us off. That's what our girls have to realize every day they come to practice."
Practice opened Wednesday, starting off with two-day tryouts. However, Kinston is a young team with fearless underclassmen. Junior Lydia Rivers and sophomore Jada Faison made a mark in the championship game: Rivers, one rebound shy of a triple-double, won MVP while Faison's 13 points snagged her the game's Most Outstanding Player.
"I know we won a championship and all, but that doesn't even matter now because the season's starting," Faison said. "This year it can be anything. We just have to come out strong. We know a lot of people want to beat us this year, but we just have to start off strong and keep our head in the game."
The Vikings lost their leading scorer Monique Lofton to graduation. She led Kinston with 13.1 points. Rivers recorded 2.7 blocked shots per game last season, while key returning senior Brittany Drumgoole had 6.4 assist and three blocks per game to lead the Vikings.
Quinerly said the group will be athletic this year.
"We've got some young kids who can shoot," he said. "We're going to press and we're going to trap a lot more than what we did in the past just because we're longer on the perimeter this year. We're going be fast, and we're going to get the ball inside to Lydia."
Between tryouts and junior varsity girls moving up, the Vikings look to add depth to the squad returning only two seniors in Drumgoole and Anshonee Addison.
Quinerly predicted that with conference realignment, the girls' teams will be competitive this season.
"It's going to be a pretty good girls' conference this year," he said. "The overall goal is to get better every day and that's something we'll never change."

The claws (teeth and even flippers) are out in the German Ice Hockey Bundesliga, as teams with names such as the Panthers, Polar Bears, Scorpions, Sharks, Huskies, Penguins, Eagles and Tigers compete for the title. Maybe these elite German teams thought that their players would acquire some of the strength and abilities of their animal namesakes – which is not actually too far from the mark, as ice hockey is synonymous in Germany with speed, power and fighting spirit.
For 36 seasons between 1958 and 1994, the Erste Bundesliga was Germany's top ice hockey league.It was replaced by the German Ice Hockey League during the 1994/95 season, but retained the Bundesliga name as part of its official title. The league's history has certainly had its ups and downs, and its structure has also been incredibly dynamic over the years, with the format varying from season to season. There have been round robin competitions with teams playing each other once or twice, best of fives (or even sevens), with or without play-offs, play-downs and sometimes pre-playoffs, and league membership fluctuating between 14 and 18 clubs.
Nevertheless the last few years have seen a constant rise in spectator interest, resulting in many clubs relocating to large, multi-purpose arenas with seating capacities for 10,000 people or more. Meanwhile, the German Ice Hockey League has become the third most successful in Europe – and it's still on the rise.

Is morality "to do with" happiness, pleasure, well-being? That is a different question from "is it SOMETHING to do with…"
From a philosophical perspective, I have always been suspicious of this style of definition. It crept in big style in the last few decades, with politicians in particular saying things like: "Democracy is ABOUT freedom. Taxation is ABOUT accountability. Justice is ABOUT retribution." Such statements given in lieu of definition have rhetorical power but are hopelessly ambiguous.
So I assume the original question means, roughly, is happiness the key issue in morality. I am certain that it isn't, simply because I make many moral decisions which do not affect my own or anyone else's happiness. Many people do. Read Book II of Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations" for many examples (and then check how popular the book still is today). Of course, there is a fallacious argument - fallacious because it is circular - which says that anyone making an unpleasant moral choice gains some form of satisfaction, so he is, REALLY, motivated by happiness. (Remember the masochistic who liked a freezing cold shower every morning - so he had a hot bath…)
However, what I do is, from your point of view, subjective, and my true motivation is private and inaccessible; so here is a simple case (an everyday example, not a contrived special case) which should serve instead:
There is much discussion about a badger cull here in England (to suppress the spread of bovine tuberculosis). American grey squirrels are intensively culled to protect our native red squirrel which has been driven extinct in all but the northernmost counties of England. Foxes are regularly culled as a major predator on small livestock. The interesting aspect is that even those who accept the necessity for such culls generally condemn any "sporting" method. This is notably the case with foxes, where the legal method - shooting - is acknowledged by the RSPCA to lead to more suffering than traditional hunting: the moral judgment here is that the act is regrettably necessary but the enjoyment of the act is unacceptable. (The Puritans banned bear-baiting 350 years ago, not because it was cruel to bears, but because audiences enjoyed it…) Should we insist that those who carry out the culls must be distressed? That would be a reasonable paraphrase of the moral view commonly expressed.
Whatever your answer, the evidence is clear that moral judgments can be directed against the happiness or enjoyment of other people.
Your analysis is correct. Why *should* we think that to be moral, one must have no enjoyment? Its bass ackwards. Where did this idea come from? Immanuel Kant. He got morality wrong. And most of the world now follows his lead.
If it makes me happy, then its bad. Ridiculous!
Imagine what many people think about tv. Its fun, so its immoral. Ice cream tastes good, so it *must* be bad for you.
It tastes bad? Oh then it must be good for me.
Immanuel Kant was way wrong. Ayn Rand got it right. See her book _The Virtue of Selfishness_.

LA Glow is a nice perfume. It is somewhat sweet smelling with a fruity smell. But it isn't overly fruity or sweet. At first it is strong but it settles down and leaves a soft fresh smell.

I couldn't rate this bottle but I would give it 4-5 stars. I bought this based off of the other reviews and I love it. It is very fruity and sweet smelling. It is a wonderful scent. I love fruity smells, which is really hard to find in a perfume. Normally I buy Victoria's Secret body sprays. This perfume is going to be a must have for me. Wonderful smell!

Keo, in his News 24 column, writes that Bulls coach Heyneke Meyer is 100% correct when he says South African rugby is in trouble, but Springbok rugby is still healthy.
Meyer, speaking to the Rapport newspaper, was reflecting on the Super 14 woes of South African teams and comparing the country's leading 150 players to the New Zealand equivalent. That looks like a horror story if you are South African, but when it comes to Test rugby, only 15 can start against 15 and only 22 can get a shot at being part of that 15 on any given Test match day.
When Graham Henry finally settles on his 15, there is very little to scare Jake White's best 15. The problem comes when White starts losing some of his best 15, whereas Henry's complication comes when he starts losing some of his top 35.
That is the march New Zealand has stolen on its rivals in the build-up to the 2007 World Cup. South Africa, Australia, France and England all comfortably have 22 to 25 Test players. New Zealand now have 35.
White's challenge this year is to grow his number from 22 to 30 and the only way he is going to achieve that is to give exposure to first and second tier players.
We know the All Blacks will use a squad of 39 to 40 players in their first five Tests and we can expect White to follow a similar path with the Boks. It is inevitable and it in no way cheapens Bok selection.
White's consistency in selection is commendable but it can also be suicidal if he does not test the depth available to him.
My understanding is he will alternate and mix and match his squads in the Tests against Scotland and France, before settling on two squads for the extended Tri-Nations.
It won't be a first and second team, but more a combination of one and two, with the odd match featuring the preferred World Cup run on XV.
If you want to feel sorry for yourself as an SA rugby supporter, then continue to follow the Cats and Stormers. If you want a bit of cheer, then start making your own selections about a Bok team.
Even in the Cats debacle against the Sharks, Bok utility back Jaque Fourie was the most impressive back on show. Already there is a Bok positive from the calamity Cats.
In the Cheetahs road show, the doom of defeat is a Bok victory for Os du Randt. The veteran front rower has played more Super 14 than anyone expected and been as good as ever.
The Sharks quartet of BJ Botha, John Smit, AJ Venter and Ruan Pienaar have been imposing, while there have been enough cameos from Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, Pedrie Wannenburg, Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha, Juan Smith, Fourie du Preez, Bryan Habana and Percy Montgomery to give every Bok supporter comfort.
Where you have reason to feel twitchy is if you go outside of the Bok match 22.
What can White offer up as an alternative to Monty? Is Johan Roets good enough? Is Brent Russell an option? What of Conrad Jantjes and the Sharks youngster JP Pietersen?
On the wings, Ashwin Willemse is gone, so we are back to Breyton Paulse and Habana. What follows? Fourie as a winger? The Ndungane twins?
The centre combination of De Villiers and Fourie is the best in this country and among the best in the world. If they aren't there does Wayne Julies, De Wet Barry, Wynand Oliver and Marius Joubert give you the same sense of comfort?
Flyhalf is a problem. Jaco van der Westhuyzen, Andre Pretorius and Meyer Bosman are the three in possession. None is a Dan Carter or even a Luke McAlister or a Nick Evans.
Halfback is the one area where the Boks are strong, so too loose-forward, but with no Bakkies and Victor at lock are Albert van den Berg, Danie Rossouw, Ross Skeate, Johan Muller and Andries Bekker good enough to win us a Test against Scotland and France?
Botha, as a tighthead, has warmed the hearts of the selectors, but who is the go to man at loosehead now that Gurthro Steenkamp is also gone for the season?
And finally who takes over from Smittie as hooker? Do you entrust Gary Botha and do you continue to back Hanyani Shimange at the expense of Schalk Brits?
I know that Du Randt, (Bakkies Botha), Matfield, De Villiers, Fourie and possibly Habana would challenge for a place in Henry's best All Black XV. That's the good news. However, some players being spoken of as possible Bok contenders would struggle to make a New Zealand Super 14 team. That's the bad news.
When 15 plays 15, the Boks will always have a chance, no matter who they play. The challenge this season is for numbers 16 to 30 to be as competitive.

SANTA ANA – An Anaheim police officer will not face charges for the fatal shooting that helped spark nights of protest over the summer, the District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday afternoon.
Officer Nick Bennallack was on a gang-enforcement patrol in the Anna Drive neighborhood on the afternoon of July 21 when he pulled up to a small group of men. Manuel Diaz, 25, a convicted gang member, ran, the Orange County District Attorney's Office concluded.
Read the entire investigation letter HERE.
The officers gave chase, down an alley and into the front yard of an apartment house. There, Bennallack fired two shots, one hitting Diaz in the back-right side of his head, the other hitting him in his right buttock, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said.
The police association said shortly after the shooting that officers saw Diaz pull something from his waistband and turn. Diaz was found to be unarmed; investigators found a cellphone registered to Diaz, as well as the two spent ammunition cartridges from Bennallack's gun and a drug pipe at the scene, the District Attorney's Office said.
Diaz's mother, Genevieve Huizar, said she plans to stage a demonstration Thursday morning in front of the courthouse in Santa Ana.
"This is completely unjustified," Huizar said. "The D.A. appointed himself the judge and jury for this officer. I'm never going to stop fighting until Nick Bennallack is in prison."
Huizar has sued Anaheim for $50 million. Her attorney, Dana Douglas, said several witnesses reported seeing Diaz hit first in the buttocks. He fell to his knees, she said, and then was hit in the back of the head.
The D.A.'s account of events and his decision not to file charges does not change anything about the family's lawsuit, Douglas said.
"This is exactly the result we unfortunately expected," she said.
Bennallack said in a statement to investigators that he fired because he thought Diaz had a gun and was about to shoot at him and the officer with him. The other officer, Brett Heitmann, told investigators that he heard Bennallack shout something like "Guhhh!" immediately before the shooting, which he took to be the start of the warning, "Gun!"
The District Attorney's Office concluded that Bennallack believed he was in imminent danger of being killed by Diaz.
"It is our legal opinion that the evidence does not support a finding of criminal culpability on the part of Officer Bennallack," Assistant District Attorney Dan Wagner said. "There is significant evidence that the officer's actions were reasonable and justified under the circumstances."
At the time of the shooting, Bennallack was under investigation in an earlier fatal shooting at an Anaheim apartment building. The District Attorney's Office cleared him in that unrelated January 2012 shooting a few months ago.
Bennallack is a five-year veteran and a department rookie of the year. He returned to duty two weeks after the shooting of Diaz, after officials reviewed preliminary results of their investigation.

This green drink has really boosted my immunity system. I feel a change in my health, and i get more energy. I highly recommend this product . It has refreshing water melon flavor.
It helps in creating harmony in the body and improves metabolism. It was gluten free and yummy. This is my third order of the product. I just love to have it.
I've tried several different Ginseng products and this is by far my favorite. It does have a positive therapeutic effect. I've had no negative side effects.
This Cider extract is very spicy, so it's easier to take if you mix it in some tomato or V8 Juice. Take at the first sign of a cold.
The company advertised an 8 oz. bottle of Wild Cherry Bark Syrup for $4.97.
It also advertised an 8oz. bottle with several different herbs added for $9.45. The both bottles are identical if you read the labels. I ordered 4 of the $4.97 bottles and received 4oz. bottles. They did send me a return label but now claim they didn't receive the return pkg. And they don't have the items i ordered in stock contrary to their internet site which said both in stock. Needless to say i will never use this company again.

No special preparation is required before a chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractic treatment may require a series of visits to your chiropractor. Ask your care provider about the frequency of visits and be prepared to work them into your schedule. It might be a good idea to bring your calendar along or have an idea of when in your schedule you can fit in visits to the chiropractic office.
Many health insurance policies cover chiropractic care, but you might want to check to see how many treatments are covered in a given time period.
