Clif Berry Pomegranate Chia Bar
Clif bars in general are great for people on the go, who can't always plan ahead for every meal. They are great for kids' snacks between meals as well. I recommend this product. I'm not a typical reviewer, but I purchase large quantities of bars. I like Pomegranate Chia and the Carrot Cake bars as well. Blueberry Crisp is good. Chocolate Chip is good. Yes, there is a similarity to the bars' flavors, but that is the case with all "lines" of food products. I work in an office. Sometimes lunch plans… Full review
Libby's Seasoned Beef Crumbles
Unlike the reviewer who gave this product a single-star, I found this product to be good and consistent with my expectations. It is essentially 6oz of cooked ground beef sealed in a vaccuum-package for long shelf life with no refrigeration. It is great for camping, backpacking, safety-rations, and/or quick-prep meat for spaghetti or tacos. I recommend this product however recommend purchase at a grocery outlet as it is a better value when purchased below the retail US$2 per unit price. This product… Full review
AlpineAire Foods Wild Quinoa Pilaf With Hemp Seeds
A vegetarian pilaf freeze dried backpacking meal which may or may not be suited to your palate. Freeze dried food — some are good, others downright terrible. The AlpineAire Wild Quinoa Pilaf - with Hemp Seeds falls somewhere in the middle on that scale, primarily due to differences in people's palates. AlpineAire Freeze Dried Food Packets Opening the package, I immediately smelled a nice blend of spices, but also detected a strong hint of something that reminded me of hay, most likely… Full review
AlpineAire Foods Rice Burrito Bowl Flavored with Beef
A very tasty and satisfying freeze dried meal. Freeze dried food — some are good, others downright terrible. The AlpineAire Rice Burrito Bowl Flavored with Beef easily falls into the very good category. AlpineAire Freeze Dried Food Packets Opening the package, spicy aroma fills the air. The Mexican-style spices — red peppers, taco seasoning, and jalapeños — are very poignant. The ingredients — a mix of rice, beans, corn, onions, beef chunks, red and green peppers, and spices — are… Full review
Bear Naked Peanut Butter Energy Bar
Basically a moist peanut butter no-bake cookie in energy bar form. At a lower cost than most, it is a fine alternative to other energy bars, but nothing screams excellent. Use: My wife and I have gone through one box so far, with me consuming the lion's share of them (12 to a box). Most of those were eaten during all-day fall and winter hunting excursions, with the exception of a few going on a short day-hike with us. For some perspective, a typical hunting day has me awake by 4am, in the woods… Full review
Omnibar Energy Bar
Omnibar has created a high quality, great tasting food bar with grass-fed beef to take into the outdoors. A variety of unique flavors keep your taste buds happy. I absolutely enjoyed three of the four Omnibar flavors (mango curry, chipotle barbecue, and cranberry rosemary; roasted peanut was my least favorite). I like that Omnibar's savory flavors are not commonly found among other companies' energy bars. They all have a depth of multiple flavors to them, which make them unique, and taste very… Full review
Clif Berry Pomegranate Chia Bar
A new flavor from Clif, the Berry Pomegranate Chia bar is an exciting addition to the Clif bar line. The flavor and consistency is very much the same as the other bars in their line, which unfortunately falls short of the exciting flavor it should be. Like most Clif Bars, it is very sweet with the typical brown sugar taste. Clif Bar & Company is an American company that produces organic foods and drinks. The company's flagship product, CLIF Bar, was created by Gary Erickson. The company is based… Full review
Clif Chocolate Chip Bar
This is my favorite Clif bar. I don't know much about other brand bars, but I haven't found a Clif bar that I didn't like. The Chocalate Chip Bar is my favorite. I take a few of these on kayak trips and everybody that I've given them to likes them also. From what I've read Clif seems like a cool company too. Full review
Clif Builder's Chocolate Mint Bar
For less demanding pursuits, this is a good-tasting bar. For its intended purposes (post-workout boost), it didn't hit the mark. I purchased a few of the Clif Builder's mainly because my wife likes chocolate while on the trail and I like convenient snacks. This was an easy way to meet both our desires. It is important to note that Clif really touts this as a post-workout protein bar, so my wife and I tried them on two separate occasions. Once as a trail snack during an easy-going hike and again… Full review

I'd bet this quote has already been posted here (I searched briefly), and I'd bet more that Sam has encountered it before, but I just wanted to be sure on both counts:
Science, however, cannot create ends and, even less, instill them in human beings; science, at most, can supply the means by which to attain certain ends. But the ends themselves are conceived by personalities with lofty ethical ideals and—if these ends are not stillborn, but vital and vigorous—are adopted and carried forward by those many human beings who, half unconsciously, determine the slow evolution of society.
— Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?
Doesn't prove anything of course, but Einstein must certainly qualify as an expert on the method, and therefore, the scope, of science. His opinion is worth considering.

My two month old daughter has sharp nails. Please suggest some safe way of cutting her nails so that she doesnt scratch herself. We bought a supposedly baby nail clipper but it is no different from a normal nail cutter (just has some cute drawings) and baby doesnt hold still to allow us to cut her nails
Your pediatrician can actually advise on this matter; ours told us that baby scissors are safer than nail clippers.
Also, we never cut her nails while she is awake - she moves too much and well, she has better things to do. I always cut them when she is sleeping.
For the first few months we used to just bite our kids nails. I know it sounds weird, but one midwife and two aunties suggested this and it seems to be fairly well recognised way to do it.
If you do want to use clippers, get the ones with a buffer - this stops you accidentally cutting into the baby's skin - which is quite easy to do if they are wriggling. Also use two people - one to hold their arm still, and the one wielding the clippers should hold the finger still - or do as @Swati said and wait for baby to fall asleep.
Actually we didn't like the baby clippers (the ones with the buffers) because it made it harder to see what you're cutting. We just use a regular (small) nail clipper.
Doing it while they sleep works, but risks waking them. That's not an option for my poor sleep-deprived wife.
What we find works best is to do it during or after feedings. The child is occupied and generally contented due to the food. When the kids were infants my wife would often clip the nails while I was holding them and feeding with a bottle. Once they got older she did while they're strapped into the high chair and occupied with dry finger foods.
With my son graduated from the high chair (and liable to tantrum if forced into anything), my wife has to negotiate clippings with him. Generally he can be bribed into compliance with TV and a bottle.
You can try cutting the nails when they are asleep. I found that worked well on both my kids. Regarding what to use, that is up to you as long as you just be careful. I just used one of those infant nail clippers and it worked well.
I found baby clippers easier to use and less harmful than sciccors

Thanks for dropping by my sketchbook.
Great Zbrush studies. You're making strides of improvement with the anatomy of the face and head. Keep it up!
Go ahead and ignore this if I am sounding completely silly, but I think you could benefit more from increasing your brush's hardness in order to bring better clarity to your illustrations and studies.
Good luck with Imagine Cup competition!

Ordered online so no chance to try out before receiving. Very disappointed in the photo chromatic ability. They do NOT go dark enough even in direct sunlight after any amount of time. Still end up squinting a lot in bright sunlight. Large bend in the frame ear pieces also means you can't wear under a flip-up helmet from the pain caused by helmet pressure on the ear pieces. Do NOT recommend.Read All Reviews

Office of the County Manager
Office of the County Manager
On July 12, 2011, Bexar County Commissioners Court established the Office of the County Manager in an effort to develop a more effective and cost-efficient re-organization of the functions, offices and departments that report to Commissioners Court. I am honored to serve the Bexar County community in the role as County Manager.
I am mindful of the need to address demands for new and better services for our growing population. With the support of Commissioners Court, I would like to share a number of important priorities for the new year, and some of the steps I am taking and expect to take to move these initiatives forward:
- SERVICES TO THE UNINCORPORATED AREA: In spite of limited revenue growth, the population of the County is projected to continue to grow. Working with County offices and departments, I already have staff identifying the demand for new services that this population growth will create. Over the next year, we will identify all legal tools and practical options available to provide more "city-like" services to these areas.
- CULTURAL AND HISTORIC COUNTY ASSETS PROGRAM: Bexar County is blessed to have a number of County-owned historic and cultural assets. One of the most obvious of these assets is our historic Courthouse. In order to insure that we identify, preserve, highlight, and where appropriate augment these treasures, we have established a Cultural and Historic County Asset program. This program is charged with bringing greater public awareness to these County assets.
- BEXAR COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM: In 2008, Commissioners Court took the extraordinary action of allocating general fund money for the institution of a Mental Health Court and for the enhanced provision of services by the Center for Health Care Services. This effort will remain a high priority of the County Manager's office and we will provide assistance and support to the MHC.
- COORDINATION OF ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION: Bexar County has made great strides over the past few years in initiating programs to reduce the number of individuals incarcerated in our adult detention center, as well as identifying ways to reduce their length of stay, all while preserving public safety.
- TRANSPORTATION: Bexar County Commissioners Court has historically taken a leadership role in identifying and solving important transportation issues in the County. Recently, the Advanced Transportation District, the City of San Antonio, and Bexar County have worked together to plan and fund a new mass transit initiative for our community. This street car initiative, first brought forward by VIA Metropolitan Transit, would establish a starter system for a downtown street car system. It would also improve bus-based transit by establishing East and West Multimodal Centers to help relieve downtown streets of much of the bus transfer traffic, and simultaneously help increase ridership and economic development around the two Multimodal Centers.
My office will continue our diligent, proactive efforts to ensure the Bexar County community remains an exceptional place to live and a desired place to visit.
Thank you,
Bexar County Manager

The H-1 liquid-fuel rocket engine was the first stage powerplant of the Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B launch vehicles, precursors to the Saturn V that took men to the Moon in the Apollo program. The Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B were each fitted with eight H-1 engines in their first stages. The engine used RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen and produced up to 205,000 pounds of thrust. The Saturn 1 first flew in 1961 while the last Saturn 1B was flown in 1975 for the low-Earth orbit Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The H-1 was developed and built by Rocketdyne, a division of the North Amercian Rockwell Corp. This engine was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1970 from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.

Nutritional information slow to arrive on menus
Genna Martin / The Herald
Gladys and Gene Johnson look over their menus Thursday at Ivar's restaurant in Mukilteo Landing. Ivar's indoor fine dining restaurant does not provide nutritional information on their menus, but they do at the outdoor fish bar. Menu labeling is required in King County but not in Snohomish County.

Although not required in Snohomish County, Ivar's outdoor fish bar in Mukilteo provides nutritional information for their menu items.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Enrique Carmona prepares a Fried Northwest Platter at Ivar's restaurant in Mukilteo Landing on Thursday. Ivar's indoor fine dining restaurant does not provide nutritional information on their menus, but they do at the outdoor fish bar.
The requirement, which went into effect in 2010, requires chain restaurants with 15 or more locations to provide the information.
No similar requirements are on the books in neighboring Snohomish County, although some chains like McDonalds, Taco Time, Jack in the Box and Ivar's seafood bars in Edmonds, Everett and Mukilteo are now providing the information.
The Snohomish Health District, which has undergone a series of budget cuts, hasn't had the resources to implement restaurant labeling requirements similar to those in King County, said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer.
In Snohomish County, there have been questions about whether to extend those same type of regulations to small chains and independent restaurants, Goldbaum said.
"Personally I think this will be something that will be embraced ultimately by industry and the community," he said. "I think it's a valuable tool, but it's only one part of our efforts to address the obesity epidemic."
The health district's Food Advisory Council, made up of industry representatives, has discussed the issue in the past but has not supported a requirement to provide the information, said Rick Zahalka, the health district's food program manager.
Martha Peppones, a registered dietician at Senior Services of Snohomish County and a member of the Food Advisory Council, said that one of the reasons for the lack of support is the initial expense in having menu items analyzed.
Bob Donegan, president of Ivar's, said the cost to do the nutrition analysis in a laboratory was one of the concerns when King County's Board of Health approved its requirements.
"I'm going to say it was about $300 per item to be tested," he said. King County decided to allow restaurants to use approved software programs to do the analysis. The cost dropped significantly, he said.
The information is available to customers on reader boards inside its quick serve restaurants and in printed pamphlets, with offerings ranging from a 410-calorie Caesar salad to a 1,040- calorie crab cake sandwich with fries. Many restaurant chains also have the information on their websites.
Since King County's labeling requirements went into effect, "the vast majority of people look at it and don't change their eating behaviors at all," he said.
"When you're hungry for fish and chips, you won't change to salad with steamed cod on top of it," Donegan said.
Diane Symms, owner of Lombardi's, which has Italian restaurants in Everett, Mill Creek and Issaquah, said she also wonders how many people would pay attention if nutritional information was listed on menus.
"I don't believe that when people go out to a full service restaurant if they're really interested in the nutritional information," she said.
In recent years, more customers have been asking for information on salt content and gluten than in the past, Symms said.
"We have gluten-free pasta available," she said. The restaurant is conscientious about its use of salt, choosing canned tomatoes from Naples that have fresh flavor but less than 8 percent salt content, Symms said.
University of Washington researchers who looked at restaurant menus in King County six and 18 months after its restaurant labeling regulations went into effect. They found that the calories listed on the menu declined, particularly at sit-down restaurants, said Brian Saelens, a health psychologist at Seattle Children's Hospital.
"We don't know that it's directly related to just this regulations... but it is quite a coincidence that it was at the same time that the menu labeling went into effect," he said.
Wes Benson, franchise representative for Taco Time Northwest, said his organization has been tracking nutritional information as far back as the 1980s.
The information is posted on all its menu boards, both inside and outside for customers using the drive-through.
"Once we put up the menu labeling, we liked what we saw as far as calorie counts," Benson said. It also inspired his organization to consider whether there's a niche market for health-conscious consumers, he said.
Dick's Drive-In Restaurants, which has five restaurants in King County and one in Edmonds, isn't currently required to post its nutritional information, but plans to do so by the end of the year, said Carrie Shaw, Dick's marketing director.
A nationwide effort to require all chain restaurants with 20 or more locations to post nutritional information is included in the federal health care law, but it's on hold while details are being ironed out, said Leonard Winchester, who works in the food and facilities section of Public Health Seattle & King County.
The law requires calories to be posted next to each item on the menu, he said.
The Washington Restaurant Association favors a statewide approach to menu labeling. "With 39 counties across the state, the chances of a patchwork effect is pretty high," said Heather Donahoe, the group's spokeswoman.
Peppones said that even when food undergoes nutritional analysis, there can be issues with the results.
Unless portion sizes served in restaurants are exactly the same every time, the counts that are reported in the nutritional information could vary, sometimes significantly, from what consumers are served, she said.
Yet even with these and other issues, Peppones said she thinks it's good for consumers to have nutrition information.
"We dietitians say it's tough to say you should only have this many milligrams of salt when you can't find the information," she said.

(NewsUSA) - With energy prices on the rise, "green" buildings sound appealing to homebuyers and builders -- at least until the word "compost" pops up.
But homeowners can live green without noticing much more than lower costs. Low-flow toilets and sinks, high-performance showerheads, and energy-efficient light bulbs can all reduce homes' eco-footprints without negatively impacting homeowners.
Building materials impact homes' sustainability. Bamboo flooring provides the same look and feel as wood, but proves a highly-renewable resource.
When choosing an eco-friendly exterior, builders should consider materials' aesthetics, durability, insulation and wood-use.
Concrete masonry proves an earth-friendly choice. Masonry can mimic the look and feel of older building materials, like worn stone, so concrete homes can blend into any neighborhood. Concrete contains natural and recycled materials.
Additionally, concrete masonry:
- Does not use any wood.
- Resists fire.
- Stands up to weather and age with little maintenance.
- Requires less insulation than wood-frame buildings.
Using concrete masonry, far from inconveniencing owners, creates a healthier home. It helps regulate heat, so homeowners will no longer feel outdoor temperature swings and in many areas, concrete does not need to be insulated, improving indoor air quality.
Owners do not need to paint concrete homes, thus reducing their exposure to harmful, paint-based chemicals. More people are reporting allergies than ever before, but concrete masonry helps resist dust, mold and insect infestations -- some of the major sources of indoor allergies.
Concrete masonry also blocks sound, making it an ideal urban building material. Concrete can even be used in landscaping to block road noise, stabilize uneven ground and control water flow.
Concrete masonry is both sustainable and affordable, proving that it can be easy and painless to go green if you have the right resources.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Just what we were looking for!
We just received our magnets yesterday and can't wait to send them out! They look exactly like the personalized product we had designed with our wedding colors (Royal Blue, Light Blue, and White.) My only complaint is that the smallest text may be a little difficult for some of our older guests to read, so I would definitely recommend using the largest fonts that will fit on the magnets. Overall, I am extremely happy with the way they turned out and think they will be the perfect way to announce the date for our Winter Wonderland Wedding!
Amazing Wedding Cermony Programs!!
I decided to order programs for the ceremony last minute. I luckily found this website, picked a design that was perfect for my winter / snowflake themed wedding, filled in the template and had my programs in less than a week. They were beautiful and elegant. I received so many compliments.
We were happy with the programs
The image editor was a little tricky to use, but we were totally happy with our finished programs. I wish there had been a little more flexibility in changing the colors, but our finished product was lovely.
Awesome customer service
I was fairly picky on my programs, I should say REALLY picky. I had amazing customer service, they were extremely helpful. I called, chatted, and emailed with them. I wanted to fit a lot of word on my program because I wanted to fit all of my reading and all other information so I made a large request. They did an awesome job. I ordered my save the dates and invitations through them and for any future events I plan on coming back with no hesitation.
Our programs came out perfect and were very easy to personalize

Jake White believes that Frans Steyn must be allowed to play his natural game.
People are often very critical of Frans Steyn whenever he makes a mistake on the field. They say that he takes far too many risks and is often more of a liability to his team than an asset. I can't understand this view, because in Steyn we have a player who will win far more matches for the Sharks and the Boks than he'll lose. Surely that's someone we should appreciate, not ridicule?
I'm often asked how good Steyn really is. My answer is simple. How many South Africans, in any position, do you know who have played 27 Tests for the Springboks at the age of 21? And how many do you know who have won an U19 World Championship and a World Cup at that age?
The rugby public tends to have very short memories. In 2007, Steyn won a Tri-Nations match for the Boks against the Wallabies at Newlands when he kicked two late drop goals, including one from the touchline. And what about the crucial 55m penalty he kicked in the World Cup final? That meant England were under huge pressure and had to score twice to win the match.
When I coached Steyn with the Boks, I encouraged him to play his natural, instinctive game. No coach should try to make him adopt a more conservative approach, because that would take away his X-factor. My advice to his coaches is to make sure he knows that you back him 100% and that there won't be a knee-jerk reaction if he does make a mistake. That will allow him to play with freedom, which is usually when he produces his best performances.
There's been a lot of debate around where Steyn should be selected for the Sharks and the Boks. I know he wants to play flyhalf but that's definitely not his best position. I picked him at 10 against the World XV in 2006 because we didn't have many other flyhalf options and I wanted to see what he could do, but it was never going to be a long-term thing.
In this column seven months ago, I said Steyn's best position is fullback and I still believe that. He'd make even more of an impact there because of the new law that prevents a player from kicking directly into touch from inside his 22 if the ball was passed back into the 22. Kickers are now forced to keep the ball in play, which would allow Steyn to go for several drop goals from the halfway line. If he succeeded he'd get three points, if he didn't, the opposition would have to drop out from the 22 – a win-win situation.
However, Steyn could also do very well at inside centre – where the Sharks plan to play him this season. He has a lot more time to make decisions there than he does at 10. I just hope the Sharks give him a chance to settle into the position because the way he was moved around the backline during last year's Super 14 did disrupt his game.
I also hope that South Africans will appreciate Steyn more in 2009 than they did in 2008, because he is a player we should all want to keep in the country for many years to come.
– White writes a regular column for SA Rugby magazine.

Early Whistles Hurt Men's Basketball in 89-83 Loss to Belmont Abbey
January 9, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University found early foul trouble on Saturday night as Belmont Abbey shot 53.7% from the floor in an 89-83 victory over the Falcons in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action inside the Merner Gym. The Crusaders push their mark to 6-5 overall, 2-3 in conference play, while the Falcons fall to 5-4, 1-2.
In an explosive first half in which there were five ties and 11 lead changes, Chad Patus (Welland, ONTARIO) led all scorers with 15 points and six rebounds on four of five shooting from the field and seven of nine from the free throw line. Richard Barbee (Virginia Beach, VA) added nine points on three of eight shooting.
With Pfeiffer holding a 25-21 lead with 7:16 left in the stanza, the Crusaders exploded on a 12-0 run to take the biggest lead of the half for either team, seven points, at 32-25 with 5:23 left. The Falcons responded with a run of its own, an 11-3 flurry over the next five minutes to claim the lead for the eighth time at 36-35 with 2:02 remaining.
That lead lasted for 18 seconds as Patrick Kuhlman (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL) drilled a three-pointer with 1:44 left, but Pfeiffer's Pettiway responded with a three-pointer of his own with 27 ticks left to give Falcons the edge at 39-38. Patus closed the half with two free throws with 17 seconds remaining to push the Abbey ahead 40-39 at the break.
Pfeiffer opened the half by scoring the first three baskets opening up a five point lead. The hosts would hold that lead, which never rose higher than seven points, for the first 14:30 of the second half before the Abbey began to chip away at the lead.
With the Crusaders trailing 66-60 with 8:23 left, the Abbey went on a 12-5 run over 2:57 to grab a one point lead with 5:30 left. A Patus free throw, followed by a Kuhlman three, closed the lead to two. Crowder struck again with a tri-fecta that moved the Falcon lead back to five, but a Phillips layup and a three by Barbee gave the Abbey a one point lead at 72-71.
Both teams traded baskets as Pfeiffer regained the lead at 76-74 with a three-point play by Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) with 3:35 left, but the visitors would take over from there. 12 seconds later, Phillips tied the game at 76 with a layup while Barbee gave the Crusaders the lead for good with a short jumper at the 2:19 mark. Pfeiffer cut the Abbey cushion to a pair at 80-78 with 1:53 remaining, but the Crusaders closed the game on a 9-5 run, with five of those points coming from the free throw line, as the Abbey sealed the win.
Barbee and Crowder tied for the game-high with 23 points. Patus followed with 20, Kuhlman 16 with Phillips and Pettiway tossing in 14. Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) found himself in early foul trouble scoring just a half-dozen points on the night. Belmont Abbey held the team advantage in every offensive category except fouls. Pfeiffer was whistled for 26 errors on the night to the Crusaders 16.
The Falcons will look to get back on track Monday hosting the Coker Cobras. The Conference Carolinas mens contest will tip-off at 7:30 p.m.

The barrow hogs at this year's Delaware County Fair are much better than last year, a judge declared Monday before awarding top barrow honors to Trent Fielding
In addition to the barrow heavy weight championship, Trent left the show with two additional awards: barrow grand champion and medium weight gilt reserve champion.
At 262 pounds, Trent's hog was the lightest pig; the heaviest was 280. More so than weight, judge Donna Hines said she was looking for an animal that can move easily and "balances muscle and design."
These are the telling signs for a hog that is fit enough to put on consumers' plates, Hines said.
A slight swelling in one pig's rear legs, for instance, did not go unnoticed.
The hog had only slipped earlier that day, which Hines said was heart-wrenching in terms of the competition. Yet on the market, these details matter; Hines said a pig prone to limping may not fare well in a commercial setting in which pigs are in pens with 20 others.
This is why her judging is based on the hog's structural integrity, she said.
Trent said the judge was precise in her critique, and was excited that his hog won her favor.
He has collected various awards over the eight years he has been working with pigs, yet this is his first grand championship. Last year, Trent won the grand championship for medium weight, he said.
The top champions this year agreed that feeding the pig well is key. Trent said he fed his hog a combination of Show-Rite animal feed and oats for the past three to four months.
The heavy weight barrow reserve championship went to Joey Millspaugh, who has also been working with pigs for about eight years. This is the first year he's placed in the heavy weight division at the county fair.
He attributed his success to hard work and good luck.
Jessica Harsh, who won Market Pig Showman of Showmen on Sunday, won the gilt grand championship on Monday. This is the third year she has been working with hogs and the second year she has won the gilt championship.
Joey Millspaugh was awarded the barrow reserve championship and Colton Weber was awarded the gilt reserve championship.
Even more important than the plaques and ribbons was the evidence that the competitors had improved from last year, Hines said.
"We want to make sure we're using the animal as a vehicle to develop leadership in our kids," said Hines. "Pigs go to market, but we keep our kids for a long time."
The championship awards will be finalized pending a drug test, which was administered immediately after the judge's selection.
The pigs are scheduled to be auctioned on the fairgrounds at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Other champions included: Aaron Zieg, champion medium weight barrow; Drew Hopkins, reserve champion medium weight barrow; Jack Nebraska, champion light weight barrow; Logan Sellers, reserve champion light weight barrow; Colton Webers, champion heavy weight gilt; Cole Davis, reserve champion heavy weight gilt; Aubree Clase, champion light weight gilt; Emily Warnock, reserve champion light weight gilt.

cool business idea/motivation
by jmeyers213 - 10/31/12 7:28 PM
My name is Jeremy, I am 29, a graduate from the University of Toledo with a degree in Marketing. I just have a feeling I am not doing what I was intended for in life and because of that I am not happy.
I am constantly thinking about how to get myself to where I want to be and keep coming back to starting a small business. It seems like its such a tall task ahead.
The latest idea I have is taking old books and making floating bookshelves with just the book attached to the wall. I have figured out how to attach it so it can hold about 25lbs. Something I also wanted to do with it is use a cause marketing strategy and since I live in Cleveland, give a percentage back to the school system by eventually purchasing a computer or something of that nature.
I understand this isn't exactly inventing the wheel but I absolutely need some feedback. I am writing in a forum because I feel like no one wants to venture on their own to do things, with that said I am looking to you.
Pro's, Con's, anything, feedback appreciated!

Six days before losing both of his legs to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, Cpl. Christian Brown performed actions under enemy fire that led to him being awarded the Silver Star this week in a ceremony aboard Camp Lejeune.
"It feels good to be home — I consider (Camp Lejeune) home," Brown said after the ceremony. "... A lot of my younger Marines are here leading Marines, and I get to see a lot of myself in them. It's humbling to be around the guys that can still serve.
"I wasn't ready to take my uniform off."
Brown was awarded the Silver Star on Friday for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity for his actions on Dec. 7, 2011, in Kajaki, Afghanistan. The award citation credits Brown for carrying a Marine casualty more than 300 meters under heavy volumes of enemy fire so the wounded Marine could be evacuated. Brown is the 42nd Marine to receive the Silver Star for heroic actions in Afghanistan.
"This is surreal," said Brown. "It's a great feeling. I'm surrounded by family, friends and all these great young men out here. I wouldn't change it for the world."
Although, he said, receiving the award is bittersweet.
"For anyone to get something like (the Silver Star) it usually takes something bad to happen," Brown said. "And being a Marine thinking about things you ask how you could have done it better. ...I'm honored to have it, but at the end of the day I was just doing my job and trying to bring my buddies home."
It was truly an emotional day, said Brown's mother, Lyn Braden-Reed.
"It means a lot of things to me," said Braden-Reed, 46, of Munford, Tenn. "I'm extremely proud of him and I have been extremely proud of him his whole life so that hasn't changed. It's just incredible what Marines and all the service members do over there. For him to be recognized for going above and beyond — I couldn't be more proud."
Hearing the citation, she said the actions that unfolded that day are in her son's character.
"He's been a go-getter since he was a little boy," Braden-Reed said. "If he sees something he is going to accomplish he makes it happen. If his mission was to get his Marine out of there he was going to do it and nothing was going to stop him."
At the beginning of the ceremony Braden-Reed watched her son stand up out of his wheelchair onto his prostheses and said he can do so because of his determination and drive. She also said it brought back painful memories of finding out her son was wounded.
"When you get that phone call it's the worst time in your life," said Braden-Reed. "You don't want to get that phone call. You dread that phone call from the minute they leave on deployment. You think that it's possible but in the back of your head you say it's not going to happen to him. It did happen to him. ...For him to come from where he was when he first got wounded to where he is now is just truly amazing and I am beyond proud of everything he has accomplished."
Brown is the second Camp Lejeune Marine to receive the Silver Star this week. Staff Sgt. Daniel Ridgeway was awarded the Silver Star on Tuesday for heroic actions in Afghanistan on June 18, 2011.
Brown said the reason he performed such heroic actions that December day is because you live, eat, breathe and sleep with these guys 24/7. They become extended family, Brown said.
"I'd do it even if I knew the outcome — if I knew the outcome was losing my legs," he said. "... I would have to say I'd always do it all over again no matter what."

|Introduction | Pentax K5- II sensor performance | Pentax K5- II versus competition | Conclusion
With an overall score of 82 the Pentax K-5 II (and its predecessor the K-5) are at the same level as the likes of the Canon EOS 5D MKIII, which scored 81. At the time of writing, it is actually eleventh out of ALL current cameras, only trailing behind offerings from Phase One and Nikon, each costing many times as much.
The individual Use Case Scores are equally impressive: Landscape at 14.1EV of dynamic range is the best in class and Sport at 1235 ISO it just pushes the Nikon D7000 into second place in this very competitive category. The Portrait score shows a color depth of 23.8 bits which places it second in class - just, to the Sony SLT Alpha 77.
When a company launches a new model there is usually an expectation that there will be improvements in the performance (a hope that is not always fulfilled), but here it seems that with the same sensor as the K-5 Pentax has settled, quite reasonably, for the same performance and have remained in the lead.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Pentax's new version of their very accomplished K-5 model manages to retain the top position in the Semi-Pro DSLR category against some very tough competition. Should we be disappointed that it fails to score higher than the K-5? Not really, the K-5 II incorporates a number of technology updates without damaging what was, in the K-5, a very good formula.

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Otoplasty is ear surgery designed to pin back protruding ears, or to reduce the size of large ears so that they are in better proportion to the rest of the face. Otoplasty can also correct ear deformities from misshapen, damaged or missing ear elements.
Absence or major malformation of the ear is called microtia, which can also be treated at Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Center.
Most otoplasty patients are children between the ages of four, when the ear is fully grown, and fourteen. Performing surgery at this young age has advantages in that the ear cartilage is very pliable and easily shaped. And young children can avoid being teased, which has a great psychological benefit. The second largest category of otoplasty patients is women in their 20s and 30s.
Otoplasty for children is usually considered reconstructive rather than cosmetic surgery and is covered by most insurance policies.
Initial Visit
During a patient's first visit, a full medical history will be taken. Physical examination will consider such factors as age, genetics, and elasticity of the ear cartilage. It is important at this time to discuss any pre-existing conditions, medications and prior surgeries. Many families like to bring a written set of questions to their first visit.
Surgical Procedures
There are two common otoplasty procedures. The first involves making an inconspicuous incision behind the ear, exposing the ear cartilage and re-positioning it closer to the head. In some cases, excess cartilage may be removed. To retain the new shape of the ear, non-removable sutures may be used.
In the second otoplasty procedure, excess skin is removed and the ear cartilage is folded back (none is removed). As with the first procedure, non-removable sutures are used to help the ear maintain its new shape. However, incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
Pre-Operative Instructions
Patients are required to avoid all aspirin products for two weeks prior to surgery, as products containing aspirin or ibuprofen increase the risk of bleeding.
Post-Operative Recovery
Immediately after surgery, a thick bandage is wrapped around the head to aid healing and maintain positioning of the ears. This will be exchanged for a smaller bandage and then a headband. Patients are advised to refrain from normal activity for a week and from sports for two weeks thereafter.
Oral medications may be prescribed for discomfort. There may be swelling for about a week which can be somewhat controlled by elevating the head at night. There may also be itching and headaches. Otoplasty involves one of the shortest recovery times of any plastic surgery procedure, and the results are immediately visible.
Surgical Risks
Post-operative otoplasty patients experience very few side effects. However, all surgical procedures carry inherent risks, such as the possibility of infection or hematoma (a collection of blood caused by leakage from broken blood vessels). Abnormal scar tissue formation is also a possibility resulting in a visible scar behind the ear. There may also be pain, itching and some degree of numbness along the incision line.
Otoplasty is a relatively simple procedure that carries great psychological and cosmetic benefits. Our surgeons welcome patients and their families to come in to discuss otoplasty.

UPDATE: Due to weather, the traffic switch planned for July 15th has been postponed.
There will be a major traffic switch at Great Southwest and Lake Ridge on Monday, July 15, 2013; however, this will not have any affect on current SB traffic route on Great Southwest Parkway to Lake Ridge. Traffic will continue to follow the detour to get to High Hawk and Polo Road. Traffic changes starting Monday, July 15: The intersection at GSW / High Hawk and Lake Ridge will partially re-open to allow NB traffic on Lake Ridge to pass through the intersection and continue on Lake Ridge to Polo Road, or turn right onto High Hawk, or use the dual left turn to turn left onto Great Southwest Parkway.
SB traffic on Lake Ridge from Polo will be able to turn right to go north on Great Southwest or turn left onto High Hawk as the SB part of Lake Ridge will remain CLOSED for further construction. This approach must turn left or right.
NB traffic on High Hawk will be able to pass through the intersection onto Great Southwest or turn right onto Lake Ridge to get to Polo.
The intersection will be an ALL WAY STOP.

Narrow your search
Sling TV's bargain price and freedom from contracts make it well worth a test-drive for prospective cord-cutters or "cord-nevers" who can live with its stripped-down selection of live TV channels.
We've limited the list to standalone streaming boxes.
While the Nvidia Shield's 4K video and solid gaming chops make it the most potent Android TV device yet, app shortfalls and a relatively high price limit its appeal.
Pricing not available
Signs point toward a brand-new Apple TV set-up box being announced June 8 at WWDC, and maybe a new streaming TV service for cable cord cutters. As usual plenty of leaks, rumors and speculation precede the big announcement. Here's our take.
Pricing not available
Google is taking yet another shot at a living room software platform with Android TV, which runs on the upcoming Android L platform.
Pricing not available
The Fire TV streaming-media box is an impressive living room debut for Amazon, with standout features like voice search, gaming, and superfast video streaming, but it falls short of being an elite streamer -- at least for now.
Razer's Android TV device has its own PC game-streaming technology, and will be arriving in the first part of the year. Can it help define the iffy Android gaming space?
While it doesn't match the app selection or search capabilities of Roku, Amazon's Fire TV Stick's solid performance and mastery of Amazon content make it easily worth the $40 price.
The PlayStation TV sounds great on paper, but out of the gate, it underwhelms as both a gaming and an entertainment box.
The best smart-TV suite combined with extremely aggressive pricing makes the TCL Roku TV a phenomenal value despite its so-so picture quality.
On the heels of its 85-inch bendable TV from last year, Samsung has added 20 more inches to the show-stopping flexible television, which can go from curved to flat at the touch of a button.

Despite celebrating into the early morning hours the night before, when Italy beat Germany to advance to the EuroCup finals, Lucca was ready to party Friday night as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers kicked off the 15th annual Lucca Summer Festival with a blistering performance in the outdoor Piazza Napoleone.
A broken down bus didn't deter Jonathan Wilson and company, who barely made it to Lucca - a small walled town in northern Italy 20 minutes outside Pisa - in time for their opening set. As the light faded in the town square, Tom and the band took the stage to rapturous applause from the thousands of Italian fans packing the piazza. For the next two hours, the band ripped through their set before bringing out the night's highlight as a surprise for the encore: "Two Men Talking." Driven by a thunderous, menacing rhythm locked down by Steve Ferrone and Ron Blair, this tune features absolutely killer guitar work from Mike Campbell.
An insight into what Tom and the guys might have in store for their next studio record? Only time will tell.

it's not his fault, he got put in a position to put up a shot.
Pau is the scape goat like he always is. The win would have been nice but this early in the regular season it's basically meaningless. We played a ton better against one of the best teams in the league. We're improving and that's what matters right now.
pretty much, but you know the over-reactors on this board will blame everything on pau. apparently he's in the 10th percentile of players the way some people act on here.
Yep, guess I'm overreacting on his piss poor defense, inconsistent effort, and sub 40% shooting from the floor. This is a guy who shot 60% at one point...
his effort has been fine, i haven't seen him or any of the guys not caring out there.
he's also being pushed further out on the floor, starting last year with the emergence of bynum and now with dwight. there's not enough room and he's being asked to float outside, probably more than he should but that's where he's spending more time now.
and yes, i agree you're overreacting. glad you can acknowledge it, very big of you.

- Converting documents produced by a desktop application (i.e. Microsoft™ Word) to Portable Document Format (PDF). Anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reader will then be able to view and print the document.
- Creating Web forms that can have submitted data sent to a valid NMU e-mail account or written to a database, spreadsheet or text file. A fee of $35 per hour is applied to the requesting department/unit account for this service.
The university Web Managers oversee a team of student Web designers who can work on university Web projects for a fee. Please contact the Web Systems Managers for more information.

With strong performance across most of the DxOMark tests and a video-friendly MSC AF motor as well as a weather-resistant design, the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f2.8 Macro is a good choice for outdoor macro shooting, such as nature portraits or close-up videos. Compared to its main (and more expensive) competitor, the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS, it offers better quality for the money, delivering category-leading vignetting performance among Micro Four Thirds prime lenses as well as excellent sharpness.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Olympus MSC ED M. 60mm f/2.8 on a OM-D EM-5
First let me say that I always read your reviews prior to getting new equipment. Thank you for these excellent reviews! As for this lens, I am contemplating the purchase of the Olympus OM-D EM-5 as my "travel" kit, and am most interested in image sharpness and detail in prints up to about 16x20. So far I've read that the Oly 75mm is among the sharpest optics for m4/3. I wonder how this Oly macro stands up in terms of sharpness. As a "Macro" lens, one would think that sharpness and resolution is a primary characteristic.
