Cocoa Butter Processor Cocoa Family is Now Kosher & Passover Certified
Los Angeles, CA, Jan 31, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Cocoa Family, a premium cocoa grower and processor, announced today that its cocoa ingredients are now kosher and Passover certified by EarthKosher kosher certification agency. In addition to being Organic Certified, Cocoa Family is now able to offer its cocoa products - cocoa butter, powder, liquor/paste and nibs - to manufacturers and distributors that require kosher certification, as well.
Cocoa Family offers its ingredients to chocolate makers, food processors and distributors that are looking for great quality products with transparency. The Company has implemented a vertical integration, "farm to table," process enables them to provide the freshest ingredients at the best quality and price. Cocoa Family is a wholesale supplier and provides the highest grade of beans and other cocoa products to the wholesale market. Cocoa Family's model is to work directly with processors in order to ensure that the requirements of their clients are accommodated down to the very last specification.
"We are happy to offer our customers high quality products that are always fresh at an exciting price. When we say our products are fresh, we really mean it. The products you buy today from us, have been processed only a month prior and the beans were harvested only a couple of weeks before they were processed. With the addition of the kosher certification from EarthKosher, we can help many more companies with their ingredient needs," states Vaagn Arakelyan, Director of Cocoa Trade for Cocoa Family.
"Having fresh ingredients makes a big difference in our customers' finished products. It tastes and smells robust, and provides a longer shelf life for our distributors," continues Mr. Arakelyan.
Cocoa Family has been in the organic cocoa bean farming and growing business for decades, providing raw products for U.S., European, and Middle Eastern markets. Cocoa Family Farms produces both Sanchez beans and the famous Hispaniola beans.
In early 2007, Cocoa Family decided to move their focus to reaching customers directly rather than going through exporters and distributors. To help facilitate this, the Company opened offices in the United States in late 2008. This move has allowed them to concentrate on bringing consistent quality, timely delivery, and savings to their clients, the Company states.
Cocoa Family believes that by eliminating all unnecessary middlemen in its farm to client flow, they can offer more benefits to manufacturers within the food, confectionery, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. "Our vertical integration process brings transparency and control over quality, freshness, and pricing to our customers," states Mr. Arakelyan.
According to Mr. Arakelyan, "When cocoa passes through many hands, it loses its transparency. This is because many intermediaries are not actually knowledgeable with the process of cultivating and fermenting cocoa beans. Their focus is on generating commissions. They are selling large orders and procuring wholesale cocoa without necessarily considering the quality of the product they are trading." The current direct agreement between manufacturers and Cocoa Family has proven to be beneficial for both sides, according to Mr. Arakelyan. "By taking into account the exact requirements of our clientele and overseeing the processes of growing, cultivating and processing our cocoa beans, we are able to maintain very high standards in our operating procedures. This gives our products a quality that is hard to for our competitors to match." Read the full story at

On that thread I put a link to what I guessed what was the basic system an HP Workstation xw6200 normally used as a server. If that is the system the link also shows a diagram of the motherboard. Where to install the RAM should be fairly obvious but does depend on how the original 2 Gb was configured.

F800GS Traxxion Fork Suspension Mods
View Single Post
Never Tap-Out
Joined: Nov 2006
Location: Okiehoma
Oddometer: 2,747
I now have the Traxxion AK20 system up front with the Ohlins rear. Took a bit to get the front dialed in to my liking. Brake dive is indeed gone. Bike is much more stable and planted. No wallowing in the turns. Performs very well about everywhere I've hammered it. And, I indeed wasted no time torture testing it.
Except, it does bottom out (up front) off jumps. I've not been able to eliminate that. So, I agree with nzcvlh on that. I've been slowly adding to the oil level in hopes to eliminate the fender clashing. I'm past 115mm, maybe close to 120mm. She still bottoms out the same. I can't say it "limits fork travel", as I'm bottoming out fender to beak on hard jumps! So, I don't understand that comment (above).
I decided to just ride it a while and quit fiddling with it. I'm not out jumping it every day. But, it is fun to jump my 35 ft. Table-Top out back with the F8 now.
Couldn't do that before with the stock suspension. Wouldn't even have dared to try.
Its an expensive setup, but it has definitely transformed the bike into something closer to my personal spec's. I do like a plush ride on the road. Hit a lot of dirt, gravel, rocky forest roads. So, maybe its a good choice for me after all. Wish it didn't bottom out like this, though.
p.s. Indy's rear shock mod is superb! Definitely a requirement for beefing up the top mount.

Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New England
Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.
"We're going to be more of a spectator on this one," said Roger Hill, meteorologist for Worcestor, Vt.-based Weathering Heights. "It looks like a historic Nor'easter that will just graze Vermont."
Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon. However, residents and travelers through the higher elevations of Windham County can expect as much has 20 inches before it's all over.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES Actress and comedian Anne Meara, whose comic work with husband Jerry Stiller helped...

Jeffrey Swystun (Toronto & Mont Tremblant) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last 100 Days: The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe (Paperback)
This is the second time I have read The Last 100 Days. Toland and Cornelius Ryan are the originators of approachable, narrative historical nonfiction. This work stands out for its incredible research. First published in 1966, Toland took the time and effort to crisscross Europe and speak to the surviving players while tirelessly reviewing documents that captured the details of the last days of World War Two. The result is history brought to life. He makes us feel like we are in the trenches, commanding tanks, making command decisions and charting the desired peaceful world meant to follow such awesome hostilities.
We are catapulted through time and space to the White House, concentration camps, the Rhine, refugee columns, an the rubbled streets of Berlin. The narrative never bogs down and the scope and scale covered never neglects the detail required to make such a work credible. It is interesting to read it keeping in mind that it came out twenty-one years after the war's end. It is rich, swift, entertaining and educational. I fully recommend it both to people new to the subject or those who with deep interest in the topic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Still among the best,
This review is from: The Last 100 Days: The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe (Paperback)
I read this book when it first came out in paperback in the 1960s, when I was a middle school student. It made a profound impact on me at the time. I recently saw it in basically the same Bantam mass market paperback edition I'd bought in the '60s (though without the photos and map contained in the '60s version, even though the price had increased five-fold in the interim). I re-read it again primarily out of curiosity, simply to see what I thought of it forty years later.
Despite having read many dozens of books on WWII in the intervening years, I was wowed by Toland's account all over again. Toland was a master storyteller, not an academic or military historian as such, and had a novelist's understanding of the illuminating detail, the minor tragedy emblematic of the whole, and the reader's fascination with the character of people acting under the most extreme duress imaginable.
Toland weaves together numerous narrative threads of the highest diplomacy (FDR, Churchill, and Stalin at Yalta), the lowest farce (the goings on of Hitler and his bizarre entourage in Hitler's underground bunker), and endless violent encounters -- between enemy forces, and between military forces and the huge masses of civilians fleeing the fighting or trapped in cities under ferocious bombardment.
While the book is populated with the brave and noble, at high levels and low, it is also frequented by monsters, knaves, cowards, innocent victims, and thugs on all sides (though the Germans, of course, were peerless in the scope and cruelty of their barbarities). This is not the place to go if you are looking for "the good war." This book gave me my first deep insight into why my uncle (now deceased, but at the time I first read this book younger than I am now), who had served as a rifleman in the 8th Infantry Division in Europe, seldom could be persuaded to talk about the war.
Toland's work was also somewhat unusual, when first published, in its lack of triumphalism. The atmosphere which permeates The Last 100 Days is not that of the impending victory of the good, or the impending defeat of the evil -- although the end of the war in Europe was certainly both -- but of immense tragedy and the dawning awareness that at the end of the war, the world was going to remain an exceedingly dangerous place, as the unnatural marriage of necessity between the Western powers and Stalin's Soviet Union came to an end.
Toland's narrative method has been adopted and adapted in other's subsequent works (Toland doubtless borrowed elements of it from others before him as well), but few have been his equal. And having read all of John Toland's several excellent books at one time or another, I am convinced that this book was his best. On the mountain of books on WWII, The Last 100 Days belongs near the top. This book should remain in print for a long time to come because it is great history, powerfully told.
5.0 out of 5 stars Another Masterful Historical Work By John Toland!,
Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last 100 Days: The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe (Paperback)
Amid the literal landslide of books written to date on the single subject of the final fateful overthrow of the Third Reich by Allied forces advancing both from the east and west simultaneously, this early effort by famed author John Toland is easily the single best nugget in all that ore, a single volume effort that is a literal treasure trove of both anecdotal eye-witness testimony and exhaustive historical research. As in most of his terrific book, Toland threads an integrating narrative that plies us with a battery of both useful and entertaining information, with amusing nuggets of historical facts such as the fact that a visiting Winston Churchill halted the caravan in which he was being escorted for security reasons to very publicly urinate on the bridge, quipping that Hitler could "take that".
Indeed, in January of 1945, the Allied forces were poised to smash through the remnants of the Wehrmacht even as Hitler, convinced he could still win the war by dividing the two Allied armies and soliciting the western Allied phalanx to join him in an unholy war against the godless Bolsheviks. It is no exaggeration that it is unlikely that any other three-month period in modern history had the monumental impact of these three months as the evil empire of the Nazi regime was smashed into smithereens. Indeed, the ninety-day period saw historical events ranging from the conference at Yalta to the controversial and merciless bombing of Dresden, from the crucial crossing of the final bridge over the Rhine at Remagen to the brutal extermination of the German army at the hands of the Russians. And all of these, and many more, are described, discussed, and placed in historical context by an author who is a master of the trade of writing substantial popular works of history.
Toland's focus here is with the individuals involved, both those, who like Eisenhower, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, shaped the evens even as they transpired, and also with the soldiers, civilians, and observers who provide the human angle of what living on the ground in the midst of what sometimes was an endless cycle of carnage, murder, and devastation was like to experience. It is all here, from Hitler's suicide to Eisenhower's original plans for the Nazi war criminals (he wanted them shot without benefit of trial). Toland's narrative is tight, informative, and exciting to read. He does not so much provide an overall interpretation of what happened and why so much as he fully immerses the reader in the particulars and gives the contexts in which these specifics occur, letting the reader make his or her own decisions about what that means. This is popular history at its best, delivered by a master of the trade. Enjoy!
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful read wonderfully written,
Mannie Liscum (Columbia, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last 100 Days: The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe (Paperback)
John Toland is a master. I have read three of his books on WWII and each is a masterpiece in its own right. "The Last 100 Days" is a perfect example. I couldn't put this book down. I have little time to read for fun but when I get my hands on a book like this my time flies!!! "The Last 100 Days" cover exactly that, from a multitude of perspectives: Soldiers: German, Russian, English, and American; leaders; and civilians. It's a story that could have only been told this way by someone with Toland's talents. His words always seem to come alive and "100 Days" is not different from other works of his I have read ("Battle" and "Adolf Hitler"). Despite the fact that I am pretty versed with WWII and the end of the ETO,fall of Berlin, etc., I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. It wasn't so much from new content but just in the way Toland tells the story. I highly recommend this book to both beginners and seasoned buffs alike. Its wonderful reading!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars The End of One War and the Beginning of Another,
Randy Keehn (Williston, ND United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last 100 Days: The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe (Paperback)
I read "The Last 100 Days" shortly after it came out when I was still in my mid-teens. I was fascinated with the many stories that were strewn together within the events that were the final days of the Third Reich. It was a real page-turner for me and I enjoyed the mutliple perspectives; Russian, German, Western Allied. Over the years I have read other books that dealt in part with this subject. However, I always looked back on "The Last 100 Days" as the real authority on the subject. Much of what happened over the next 50 years had its' beginnings in these last 100 days and John Toland does an excellent job of explaining that. Anyone interested in either WWII or the Cold War should read this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHLY READABLE & HISTORICALLY ACCURATE,
KOMET (WASHINGTON, DC - U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last 100 Days: The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe (Paperback)
John Toland brings a rich immediacy with this book. You feel like an eyewitness watching events unfold, whether it be in an Allied prisoner of war camp in Eastern Germany, in the Fuehrerbunker, at the conference tables among diplomats and generals, or on the front lines as the Third Reich enters its death throes.
As always, Mr. Toland is very meticulous in the type of research he brings to bear in this book. Once again, he has written a highly readable and historically comprehensive work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

First of all I have a 38" waist and I bought these in an XL, and I have PLENTY of extra room as they fit pretty big. Throw a belt on and you're set to shred. I bought last years yellow color and they get a little dirty easier. I came off of arcteryx bibs of 7 seasons and finally wanted something more relaxed fitting. The goretex is great as you would expect from any Arcteryx product. Overall I really enjoy the pants!

Developing Pacific nations must intensify their structural reform efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth and protect themselves from the global economic crisis, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said on Thursday.
The Pacific's banking system is well shielded from the most immediate effects of the global financial crisis, as it has generally sound health and raises and invests most of its funds within the region, ADB said in a press release. However, the island economies are not immune to the ripple effects of a global slowdown, with exports and tourism likely to weaken, overseas remittances expected to decline, and pricing to international capital seen to rise, said the Manila-based development bank. Offshore investments of national trust funds and pension schemes have fallen in value, it added.
"The impact of the financial crisis on the Pacific may be lessened through sound economic management," said S. Hafeez Rahman, Director General of ADB's Pacific Department. "The key response to the global financial crisis should be to reinvigorate structural reform, which is crucial to achieving sustained growth," he said. "The priority is to address constraints to private sector-led growth in the region," he added. Efforts to improve rural productivity are important for the bulk of the population in the agriculture-based economies. Private sector investment is important for tourism-based economies, the bank said. — Xinhua

STTG Market Recap January 11, 2013
In what seemed like a holiday session, the markets barely budged Friday with the S&P 500 finishing down but only by 0.07 and the NASDAQ gaining 0.12%. Most of these gains came in the last hour which has been a pattern of late. From a technical standpoint the markets continue to rally and hold, although since those two massive gains wrapped around the year end, very little actual upward movement has occurred; part of this is the market has been in some form of overbought stage the entire year of 2013.
Let's look at some longer term index charts tonight. The S&P 500 is testing September 2012 highs which in turn is testing 5 year highs. Which by definition mean the index is above the April 2012 highs. A case could be made that this will be the third major upward channel over the past year, although the fiasco around the fiscal cliff created a tremendous headfake. At the end of 2012 it was discussed that a potential "head and shoulders" formation was being created (the three green circles) but the big rally on Jan 2nd, most likely ended that idea.
The NASDAQ is not quite as strong although we generally have a similar pattern. This index has yet to reach April 2012 levels. For the market rally to continue one would think there would eventually be a rotation into this tech heavy index. You could still make the case for the "head and shoulders" pattern here until the 3200 level is breached.
Let's look at gold and silver on these longer timeframes as well. With gold we can see a pattern of lower highs, which is bearish. There is a bearish double top that was created in August/September 2011 and the commodity has never seen those highs again. Then a lower high in November 2011, then an even lower high in February 2012 which was matched in October 2012. So until at least that level is beaten to the upside, there is no long term bullish viewpoint on gold. Now with that said one can see how important $1525 is to the downside – it has been hit three times over the past year+, and that is where buyers came in en masse.
Silver looks very similar and almost an identical analysis can be utilized, just use different numbers; a series of lower highs and $26 being the floor buyers show up at.
In interesting economic related news of the week, did you know French actor Gerard Depardieu fled to Russia to escape the now onerous top tax rates (which they tried to make 75%).
"I love your country, Russia — its people, its history, its writers," the "Green Card" actor wrote in an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nobody doubted that Depardieu's decision to accept Putin's offer of Russian citizenship stemmed from French President Francois Hollande's plan for a "rich tax" of 75 percent for residents earning more than 1 million euros ($1.3 million). The French government has said it intends to revise its draft legislation after the country's top court struck down the proposed law last month. Russia's personal tax rate is 13 percent for most income, hardly comparable to Hollande's punishing levy for the rich.

MSM serves as an important source of bioavailable dietary sulfur, a mineral that plays a critical role in maintaining the intergrity and elasticity of connective and other tissues. It is an important component of proteins found throughout the body, such as in hair, nails, skin and tendons. Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of connective tissue, and for amino acid metabolism and hormone synthesis, and is a key factoe in the body's immune system. MSM is a naturally occurring form of organic sulfur found mainly in protein-rich foods such as eggs, fish, and lean meat. Taking MSM throughout the day helps to replenish the body's supply of sulfur.

Wherever Keillor goes, Lake Wobegon is there
Western swing
What: Garrison Keillor and company's live broadcast of "A Prairie Home Companion," with Nickel Creek bluegrass singer Sara Watkins and blues-rock guitarist Elvin Bishop as musical guests.
When: 2:45 p.m. Saturday
Where: Santa Barbara Bowl, 1122 N. Milpas St.
Tickets: $49.50 to $79.50. Call the box office at 962-7411 or visit http://www.sbbowl.com. Tickets also are available via Ticketmaster, 800-745-3000 or http://www.ticketmaster.com.
More information: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org
On radio: "A Prairie Home Companion" can be heard locally from 4-6 p.m. Saturdays on Thousand Oaks-based radio station KCLU, 88.3 FM and 1340 AM, and it re-airs on both from 10 a.m. to noon Sundays.
Garrison Keillor was on the line from New York a week or so ago, and a sense of hope and youthful longing hung in the master storyteller's comforting, velvety voice. A live broadcast on Saturday of his "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show from Santa Barbara and ensuing Summer Love tour seemed to thaw the icy Midwest right out of perhaps the most famous Minnesotan since Paul Bunyan.
Though he'll turn 68 this August, Keillor sounded like a kid again as he mused about undying notions of romance and the promise of the Golden State.
"Whenever I'm out there," Keillor said, "I feel a sort of peaceful grandeur. We Midwesterners are kind of dazzled by California. California is the paradise state to anyone from Minnesota."
He's played Santa Barbara before and once spoke in Thousand Oaks. He talked of how he likes to get a rental car in L.A. and drive through Santa Monica, Malibu and Ventura and on up to Santa Barbara. Ventura, Keillor said, is "a beautiful town; it's Sunshine City there." (For his sake, let's hope the June gloom stays away).
Saturday's broadcast of "A Prairie Home Companion" from the Santa Barbara Bowl comes amid the still-popular show's 36th anniversary season. It harkens back to a golden age of radio more than a half-century in the rearview mirror. In other hands, that might be moldy or anachronistic, but Keillor succeeds at poking fun at our desires and fears, our foibles and follies, from a distinctly Midwestern point of view that has universal appeal.
Though a minor stroke last fall prompted questions of retirement, Keillor said flatly "it's not time." The poetry devotee seems to be heeding that Dylan Thomas line to "not go gentle into that good night" and instead "rage, rage against the dying of the light."
He reveled in having singer Sara Watkins — also on Saturday's bill in Santa Barbara — on board for the August-September Summer Love tour and said he wants to sing "Unchained Melody" and "other songs of almost unrestrained passion" with her.
Summer love, he said, "stands for all the dreams of your teenage years, when you are young and attractive and you got out of school, which specialized in humiliating you. You wandered around in shorts and dreamed about romance. And that never quite leaves you."
It's all about tender duets, ballads and poetry, daunting stuff to pull off in a show. To which Keillor replied, "Hey, it's not that hard. I've been doing this for awhile."
'What radio can be'
This interview caught him in New York shortly after he'd given Hal Holbrook an award at the American Academy of Arts & Letters for his 50 years of portraying Mark Twain, and shortly before Keillor flew to Atlanta for yet another of his road shows last weekend.
If Keillor and his show aren't yet American institutions, they're at least on the porch. He's been called America's finest storyteller. A 2006 film version of "A Prairie Home Companion" drew Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan and director Robert Altman.
The show is "still extremely fresh," said Syracuse University pop culture professor Robert Thompson. Keillor's Lake Wobegon monologues, his comedy and drama bits, are, Thompson added, "exquisitely done in their understated way."
"It takes the appeal of 'The Andy Griffith Show' and Mayberry and really modernizes it," Thompson said. "It's a hip show. It's really funny. It does what it does very well."
At the same time, Thompson added, it is "the Colonial Williamsburg of old-time radio." Listening to it, a feel for the days when radio ruled American households emerges, as does "a real sense of what radio can be."
Reality, embellished
As any "Prairie Home" devotee knows, the show centers on life in Lake Wobegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above-average."
Show staples include private eye Guy Noir, dimwit cowboys Dusty and Lefty, Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, fake ads for Powdermilk Biscuits and Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie — "nothing gets the taste of shame and humiliation out of your mouth like a piece" of it, Keillor intones — and, of course, news from Lake Wobegon.
Though Lake Wobegon is said to be a town that exists only his mind, it is based on Anoka, Minn. — where he was born Aug. 7, 1942, the third of six children in a Scottish-Scandinavian family — and other burgs in his home state, such as Freeport, Holdingford and Isle. His uncle, he explained, was a doctor who treated people in such tiny places; as a kid, Keillor liked to visit him and tag along.
"When you are in the office of a small-town doctor," Keillor said, "you hear a lot about what's going on."
As such, his Lake Wobegon characters represent "the people and culture I soaked up, even before I knew it. It's a stoical culture where you make the best of it and don't expect too much."
More seeds of the show
Keillor graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in English in 1966. He went to work for what became Minnesota Public Radio in 1969, hosting a morning show called "A Prairie Home Entertainment."
He also was writing; he got published in The New Yorker in 1970 at age 28. As the legend goes, he hit upon the idea of a live Saturday night radio program from a 1973 New Yorker assignment he did on The Grand Ole Opry.
"A Prairie Home Companion" debuted on July 6, 1974, at a college auditorium in St. Paul, Minn. As its website notes, "There were about 12 people in the audience." It now calls the city's Fitzgerald Theater home. Other than a brief stoppage in 1987 and a late '80s-early '90s stint in New York, the show has run continuously from Minnesota.
These days, though, a typical "Prairie Home" season, about three dozen shows, is taken on the road about half the time. The other half is divided about equally between St. Paul and New York (Keillor has places in both cities).
Thompson noted the show's northern Midwest Lutheran vibe but said anyone can understand and share its values. Another reason it endures, he noted, is that it's got the field "all to itself."
Deflecting praise
"A Prairie Home Companion" is heard by some 4.3 million listeners weekly on about 590 public radio stations nationwide, including KCLU 88.3 FM and 1340 AM in Thousand Oaks. There, it garners about 17,000 listeners weekly, making it among the most popular weekend shows, KCLU General Manager Mary Olson said.
During the station's April pledge drive, "A Prairie Home Companion" raised more money than any other cultural arts program it airs, she added.
Olson once met Keillor at one of his Santa Barbara shows and found him "incredibly down to earth."
"What you hear is how he is," she said. "He's warm, funny, genuine and very, very thoughtful. He doesn't like people to make a fuss over him."
True to his crusty Midwest roots, Keillor deflects all accolades.
"I don't hear them, myself," Keillor claimed. "I live most of the time in St. Paul, where people would never say any of those things. We avoid compliments in the Midwest — we avoid giving them out, we are awkward about receiving them. They make us uncomfortable."
In a 1999 Minnesota Monthly piece on the show's 25th anniversary, Keillor called that milestone a real accomplishment, "just like having the world's largest ball of twine."
Staying busy
For all that modesty, Thompson, for one, suspects there's a bit more "diva" in Keillor than he lets on. He's been, Thompson added, an important part of American culture and held up radio as an artistic storytelling form "almost by himself."
His literary output alone, which includes more than a dozen books, puts him in a special class, Thompson opined. "When he's running on all cylinders, his writing can be very elegant."
Between his show, books, essays and columns, Keillor has given a "kind and gentle voice" to old-fashioned American Christian values as opposed to an angry, screaming one, Thompson said, adding, "There's a lot to be said for that."
Keillor noted that he gets criticized for preaching Christian gospel, a notion he denies. Some critics sniff that he's too middlebrow, to which Thompson replied, "He might be middlebrow, but he does middlebrow really well."
Keillor's going to keep on keepin' on. In a May 17 website blog post, he noted the 2010-11 "Prairie Home" season is already almost in ink and mentioned working on a collection of poems, a memoir, a Guy Noir mystery and a screenplay for a Lake Wobegon movie, among other things.
"It's all about the fact that I'm 67," he said. "I cruised along in my 50s, and I hit 60 and it really stunned me. At my age, one hears the clock ticking, one feels the glacier moving and one sees one's friends and classmates become old and geezer-ish."
Thoughts into words
Garrison Keillor is all about the moment, and the keenly drawn observation about it.
- On California surfing: "It's startling for a Midwesterner to see a place where kids learn to balance themselves on a board in the water. There's something almost miraculous about that."
- On the distinctive voice: Keillor's voice has been called many things — a down-comforter voice, a whispery baritone, something a hypnotist would use. He had a little fun with that, saying none of them quite fit. "It seems more flexible than that," he said. "I don't see it being hypnotic. It can get very whispery, yes, but it can accelerate when it needs to. And it can get into a reedy tenor when it needs to. So I think it's a pretty serviceable voice for radio."
- On those goofy red shoes he often wears: "They're just the shoes I have. I bought a pair and someone said they liked them, so that clicked."
- On the 2006 "Prairie Home Companion" movie, which turned out to be the late director Robert Altman's last: "I enjoyed making it with him. I disagreed with him on parts of it. I'd have done it differently. I'd have held the actors in closer check than he did and I had written a slightly different ending. But that's OK — in the end, he was the director and I was the writer. Mr. Altman is someone who never looked back, never second-guessed himself. It was an honor to see someone who takes that point of view."
- On writing: Like Ray Bradbury, Keillor writes every day, early in the morning, at times as early as 4 a.m. "I eat Cheerios for breakfast and drink plenty of coffee," he told a seventh-grader who's doing a school report on him in a recent blog post.

Police fatally shoot Marine in California desert
Tuesday - 11/13/2012, 3:11am EST
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) - Police say they had no choice but to shoot and kill a Camp Pendleton Marine after he refused to pull over, drove into one officer, and tried to drive off with another officer hanging halfway out of his car window.
The Marine repeatedly ignored orders to stop after being approached by officers on bike patrol around 2 a.m. Saturday, the Palm Springs Police Department said in a statement Monday.
One of the officers partially climbed into the passenger window to stop the car, but the Marine accelerated, striking the other officer, the department said. The Marine kept driving with the officer hanging out of the window until the car crashed near the garage exit, it said.
Both officers were treated for injuries at a hospital and released. They have been placed on administrative leave while the department investigates.
The Marine died at the scene and the lone passenger, another Marine, was not injured, authorities said.
"In the course of these events, fearing for their safety and the safety of others both officers discharged their weapons," the statement said.
The Desert Sun ( http://mydesert.co/UkHMTr) identified the Marine who was shot as Cpl. Allan DeVillena II and said his family contacted the newspaper.
Police said authorities later found a smartphone in the car that was reported stolen by someone whose identification card was found in the Marine's pants pocket.
The lone passenger was arrested for investigation of public intoxication and for an unrelated misdemeanor warrant then released. Police did not release his name.
DeVillena's father, Alan DeVillena, told the newspaper his son and the passenger had gone out to celebrate the 237th birthday of the Marine Corps, which was Saturday.
The father said the family was headed to Palm Springs to find out what had happened after being notified of his son's death by the Marine Corps.
The newspaper reported both Marines were with the 1st Marine Logistics Group based in Camp Pendleton, but the men were stationed at Twentynine Palms.
Marine Corps officials could not be immediately reached for comment Monday when many offices were closed for Veterans Day.
DeVillena said his son served in Afghanistan and was due to finish his four-year enlistment in about two months. He said he planned to attend college.
"He was looking to get into audio engineering," DeVillena told the newspaper. "He wanted to get into recording. He wrote a lot. He had a passion for music."

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals GM: Tyrann Mathieu's rehab is 'really ahead of schedule'
Late in a Week 14 game home game against the St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu tore his ACL in his left knee returning a kick.
It was a crushing blow to the team's secondary, forcing the star rookie to miss the final three games in what was otherwise a storybook season.
Since then Mathieu has had surgery and begun the rehabilitation process, and while his story may have added a chapter he was hoping to avoid, it appears he's ready to keep writing.
"He works his tail off and he's really ahead of schedule in his rehab," Cardinals GM Steve Keim told ProFootballTalk.
The exact schedule that Mathieu figured to be on was always a bit unclear, as every player is different with regards to how quickly they can return to the field after an injury like the one he suffered.
However, in an AZCardinals.com video series titled, "Tenacious," fans are given an inside look at what the 21-year-old is going through.
In the latest episode, which was released on March 19 and is the third in the series, Cardinals assistant trainer Chad Cook said Mathieu was moving into the next phase of his rehab.
"Now we're transitioning into that phase of just working on his range of motion, getting that full range of motion back, getting his strength back," he said.
In the video, Mathieu said there are some days where he feels better than others, which is to be expected when going through something like this.
But his progression, and that's the most important thing.
"To see the progression over the last couple weeks, it's been amazing," Cook said, pointing to some of what Mathieu is now able to do that he couldn't before, like wall squats. "He's making tremendous strides."
Of course, Mathieu still has a long way to go before he'll be back on the field, and what kind of player he'll be upon his return remains a question.
But if he is ahead of schedule as Keim says, we may find out soon enough.

Matchup: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Boston Bruins
Date/Time: June 7th, 8:00 p.m. ET
Television: NBC Sports Network
NHL Betting Odds from Bookmaker
Moneyline: Bruins -125
Total: 5.5
The Boston Bruins were in the Stanley Cup Finals two years ago, and they are just one more win away from getting back there this year. They still have a lot of work to do to close out one of the best teams in hockey though, as we know that the Pittsburgh Penguins aren't just going to shrivel up and die in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Pittsburgh has to be heartbroken for the way that Game 3 ultimately ended. Statistically speaking, they were probably the better of the two teams on this night, and the Penguins fired off 54 shots on goal for the game, 14 more than the Bruins managed. The shift before the game-winning goal, C Sidney Crosby played like his hair was on fire, and he even did it without a helmet on for the mass majority of it. Alas, when you look back at the stat sheet in this series, you see nothing but zeroes all the way across for Crosby, C Evgeni Malkin, and so many of the other stars like RW Jarome Iginla that were picked up right around the trade deadline. Obviously, it is going to take these men scoring goals and getting their names on the stat sheet if the Penguins have any chance of making the epic comeback. The one man that we can't blame for the loss on Wednesday was G Tomas Vokoun, who stopped 38-of-40 shots, and there was absolutely nothing that could have been done about the shot that ultimately won the game.
The bottom line for the Bruins though, is that they had the better goalie in the game, and all too often in the playoffs, the team with the better net minder is the one that wins. G Tuukka Rask didn't have the greatest numbers in the world coming into this series, but he now has his GAA down to just 1.85 after holding the Penguins to just two goals in essentially 11 full periods of play over these first three games. Rask was stunning on Wednesday, stoning shot after shot in the overtime periods that came his way, many of which weaker goalies would have left past. He got some help from the pipes at times, but in the end, it was a deserving result for a goalie that is suddenly putting himself in the discussion for the Conn Smythe Award. Still, it seems as though C David Krejci is the man that would be winning that award if the playoffs were to stop right now. He leads all players in the postseason with 21 points, and he has put up at least one goal in all three games of this series.
The Penguins know that their season is on the line, and we think that they are going to play loose and with nothing to lose. The Bruins have already lost three games this postseason in which they had a chance to close out a series, and we think that this could be the fourth when push comes to shove.

They can only come out three exits. Unless cheats. Wrap em' up, then head to the latter number 3) for control and vantage views. Watch kill feeds, nothing happening then secure zone, head for the next zone. Always gotta clear the path;)

...when the game starts, in TC or Heroes, just sprint whatever direction you happen to be facing, and think "Welp, I guess I'm going this way.", because after 2 years you still can't immediately tell what is what, like I do?
I do the exact same. I know that I want to make the quick through the middle approach to immediately hit the other team, but in the first 5 seconds can never work out which way that is!

Platinum Games is known for intense, over-the-top mayhem with games like Bayonetta and MadWorld. But why did Hideo Kojima think the minds at Platinum—who made names for themselves at their previous place of employ at Clover Studio with God Hand and Okami—were the right choice to get Metal Gear Rising's development back on track?

ROGER FEDERER: Id say no, but I dont know. Just because you look back maybe 15 years, then you have Sampras, Edberg, Becker, and Agassi, I dont know who else. Those guys werent good or what? Do you know what I mean?
You look back, further back, 20 years, and you have the Connors and the Lendls. Those werent good either? I mean, I dont know. So for me I think thats respectful. Its just different times and definitely more athletic, theres no doubt about that. But then again we dont play doubles. We dont play mixed. Maybe we play less matches today because its more taxing, but we do play less best‑of‑five set tennis than they used to play. You cant compare really.
but we have somewhat of a golden era right now. I feel that truly. Its nice to see Andy making his move at the Olympics, nice to see Novak having an absolutely ridiculous year last year, and then Rafa and myself still being around. Its definitely good times. Past that you still have great champions as well. Its very interesting at the top right now, and the depth I think has never been greater than right now. Theres no doubt about that.
But then best ever? The four of us? Thats a really difficult call.
And, This.
I'm not greatest player - Roger Federer
"I don't feel better than anyone, because we need past champions to pave the way for our generation and we have become very professional," he said.
"They have led the way and inspired myself and other players to chase the big records out there.
"Back in the day they weren't doing that, they were just playing to play tennis. Things have changed dramatically with the press reminding us 'you should do this and win that and you'll be considered the greatest of all time'.
"And anyway I don't think you can compare different eras in tennis."

On November 9, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved two proposed rules that would amend the deposit insurance assessment regulations. The first would implement a provision in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that changes the assessment base from one based on domestic deposits (as it has been since 1935) to one based on assets. The second proposal would re-propose changes for the deposit insurance assessment system for large institutions ($10 billion and higher) given Dodd-Frank's changes to the assessment base. This proposal replaces a proposed rule approved by the FDIC Board in April.
In accordance with a provision in Dodd-Frank, the FDIC is proposing to change the assessment base from adjusted domestic deposits to average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity. Since the new base would be much larger than the current base, the FDIC is also proposing to lower assessment rates, which achieves the FDIC's goal of not significantly altering the total amount of revenue collected from the industry.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Creatinine and Creatinine Clearance
How It Feels
Blood test
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
Urine test
There is no pain while collecting a 24-hour urine sample.
Risks of a blood test
There is very little chance of a problem from having a blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
Urine test
There is no chance for problems while collecting a 24-hour urine sample.
Creatinine and creatinine clearance tests measure creatinine levels in your blood and urine to give information about how well your kidneys are working. The creatinine clearance value is found from the amounts of creatinine in the urine and blood and from the amount of urine you pass in 24 hours. This value is the amount of blood cleared of creatinine per minute, based on your body size.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Blood creatinine:
Men: 0.6–1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 53–106 micromoles per liter (mcmol/L)
Women: 0.5–1.1 mg/dL or 44–97 mcmol/L
Teen: 0.5–1.0 mg/dL
Child: 0.3–0.7 mg/dL
Creatinine clearance:
Men (younger than age 40): 107–139 milliliters per minute (mL/min) or 1.8–2.3 milliliters per second (mL/sec)
Women (younger than age 40): 87–107 mL/min or 1.5–1.8 mL/sec
Creatinine clearance values normally go down as you get older (normal values go down by 6.5 mL/min for every 10 years past the age of 20).

Who does Joe Girardi think he's kidding?
Jun 7, 2011, 7:01 PM EDT
Hours after listing Derek Jeter as his designated hitter for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he won't deviate from the plan in order to help his superstar reach 3,000 hits as home.
But… that's like… right after he listed Jeter as a DH…
The Yankees play their next 10 games at home and Jeter is 14 hits away from 3,000, so he could well get there if he heats up just a little bit. However, he's likely going to have to be put on pace to play in all 10 of them, and that's exactly what Girardi is thinking with the decision to let him DH tonight.
It is Jeter's fifth start at DH this season. He went 4-for-19 with one RBI and no runs scored in the first four. Overall, he's batting .260/.327/.325 while getting 100 percent of his at-bats from the first or second spot in the order. That's certainly not something that's going to change until after he reaches 3,000.
"You would love for him to do it here," Girardi said. "We have 10 games on this homestand — 14 hits he needs. I would love for him to do it here, but you can't physically wear him down or risk hurting him to do that. We are going to have to be smart about how we do this and we are going to probably play it the way we have all year long."
Which basically means letting Jeter have his way and hoping that it doesn't hurt the team in the process.
- yankeesfanlen - Jun 7, 2011 at 7:05 PM
ANYTHING to get this over with!
- deathmonkey41 - Jun 7, 2011 at 7:10 PM
I don't understand the point of this article. Are you saying he's wrong for DH'ing Jeter? DH'ing is kind of giving him a rest. I'm sure if Jeter had his way, he'd be out in the field too.
- Matthew Pouliot - Jun 7, 2011 at 7:14 PM
I'm fine with however Girardi wants to play it. It's just silly that he's denying that he is playing it… everyone knows the Yankees want to get Jeter that hit at home.
- deathmonkey41 - Jun 7, 2011 at 7:16 PM
Of course- as I'm sure all of his teammates are hoping too. If it were causing division in the clubhouse, then it could be a problem, but I really don't think this will.
- max - Jun 7, 2011 at 7:17 PM
That's the thing, and Deathmonkey41's point (I believe): he's not denying it. No one is denying that they're gonna do whatever it takes to get that 3000th hit at home.
"You would love for him to do it here," Girardi said. "We have 10 games on this homestand — 14 hits he needs. I would love for him to do it here, but you can't physically wear him down or risk hurting him to do that. We are going to have to be smart about how we do this and we are going to probably play it the way we have all year long."
Making him the DH is being "smart about how [they] do this."
- genericcommenter - Jun 7, 2011 at 9:04 PM
A DH should be a hitter. They are replacing one non-hitting guy in the field with another non-hitter and moving the former to DH. There is really no reason to keep Jeter's bat in the lineup.
Though I guess since Jeter is replacing Posada, maybe that is an "improvement" at the DH position. Then again the reconfiguration has Gardner on the bench, who hits better than Jeter ( other than Posada, who doesn't?). Jones could have DHd.
Of course Jeter has 2 hits already…
- missingdiz - Jun 7, 2011 at 7:33 PM
I'm not a Yankee fan. Days go by without me thinking about Derek Jeter, although I have nothing against him. But the deal about getting hit #3000 at home is not just "letting Jeter have his way." Box office? Ever hear of it?
- aceshigh11 - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:24 AM
So basically Girardi is putting Jeter's ego and "Yankees History" above the day-to-day needs of his team in terms of "putting the best team on the field to win every game."
As a Sox fan, I'm okay with that.

Alaska Veterans' Bonds Question, Bonding Proposition A (2010)
The Alaska Veterans' Bonds Question, also known as Bond Proposition A, was on the November 2, 2010 ballot in Alaska as a legislatively-referred bond question, where it was approved.
The measure allows residents in the state to decide whether to guarantee residential mortgage bonds to veterans. The revenue bonds would be issued by the Housing Finance Corporation. Specifically, the measure asked voters if the state should guarantee those mortgage bonds, and that the amount should not exceed $600 million.[1][2]
Election results
|Alaska Proposition A (2010)
Election results via: the Alaska Elections Division
Text of measure
Ballot title
The ballot language for the measure read:[3]
|Bond issues on the ballot in 2010
|Shall the State of Alaska unconditionally guarantee as a general obligation of the state the payment of principal and interest on revenue bonds of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation issued in the principal amount of not more than $600,000,000 for the purpose of purchasing mortgages made for residences for qualifying veterans as defined by law?
Bonds Yes [ ]
Bonds No [ ][4]
Ballot summary
The summary of the measure read:
|Relating to the issuance of state-guaranteed revenue bonds by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation to finance mortgages for qualifying veterans; authorizing the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation to acquire the building that it occupies for an amount that does not exceed $14,500,000; authorizing the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation to acquire a building or purchase an undesignated site for the relocation of its public housing client intake and assisted housing center for an amount that does not exceed $3,500,000; and providing for an effective date.[1][4]
- The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, in a Sponsor Statement, stated about the measure, "As a result of recent passed legislation in Congress, Alaska along with the states of California, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin have been able to offer more loans to veterans through the program than the previous years. Because of this, it is estimated that the Corporation could run out of bond authorization for the veterans loan program some time in 2011. This is the reason for the urgency of getting the issue to the ballot in 2010."[5]
- According to AHFC President Dan Fauske, "Alaska is lucky as we are one of only five states in the nation that can offer the program to veterans. The others are California, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin. As the state with the highest per capita number of veterans, it is a program that is a very popular way of thanking and keeping veterans in Alaska."[6]
There was no known opposing campaign for Proposition A.
Media endorsements
- The Homer News endorsed the measure, stating, "The last time veterans bonds were on the general election ballot was 2002, according to the AHFC. The bonds were approved by more than 70 percent of voters."[7]
- The Juneau Empire was in favor of the measure.[8]
Path to the ballot
On March 31, 2010, the measure was passed by the Alaska State Senate, with a vote of 18-1. The measure was then sent to the Alaska House of Representatives, where it was approved by a vote of 38-2 on April 14, 2010. The Governor signed the bill to the ballot on June 5, 2010.[9]

Poles remember first bombs of WWII
WIELUN, Poland Just before dawn on Sept. 1, 1939, 13-year-old Eugeniusz Kolodziejczyk stood on a train station platform, fidgeting with his father's watch.
Amid mounting saber rattling from Nazi Germany, his father had been called away to defend Poland's borders in case of war.
The war came to them instead – fierce, quick and dealing destruction in minutes: The opening salvos of World War II in Europe.
The boy heard a roaring sound above and looked up to see squadrons of planes – low slung Stuka dive bombers, the black cross of Germany's Luftwaffe visible.
The bombs began to fall.
Kolodziejczyk looked at the watch: 4:40 a.m. The explosions set off a worldwide conflict that would rage for more than half a decade and leave more than 40 million military and civilian dead.
"I saw smoke and fire, I heard explosions and ... screaming," said Kolodziejczyk, now 83, his voice quavering as he recalled the day 70 years ago Tuesday. "I was in shock."
Wielun was the first victim of the war in Europe, even before the tiny Polish military outpost on Westerplatte, some 250 miles (400 kilometers) to the north on the Baltic Sea, shelled by the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein five minutes after Wielun.
Westerplatte is the site of state ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of the start of the war, to be attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
But Wielun defends its place in history and will hold its own anniversary ceremonies with the participation of President Lech Kaczynski.
Last year it nominated itself for the Nobel Peace Prize arguing its wartime past qualifies it – along with Guernica, the Spanish town that was severely bombed during that nation's Civil War and became a symbol of war's barbarity – to carry a message of pacifism.
The attack on Wielun was a harbinger of what Poland and the rest of Europe had in store for them as the continent faced total war: some 1,200 of the town's 15,000 citizens were killed and more than 70 percent of its downtown turned to rubble.
During the Nazi occupation, Poland lost some 6 million citizens and more than half its national wealth in destroyed factories, burned down museums, libraries and villages. The country was also to be used as base for the occupying Nazis' genocide machinery, home to Auschwitz, Majdanek, Sobibor and other death camps built for the annihilation of Europe's Jews.
It is not entirely clear why Germany chose Wielun, just 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the border, as its first target.
"There were no troops or commanders stationed here, there was no key industry," said Jan Ksiazek, head of the town's history museum. "Probably, it was to provoke panic among the civilians."
In a book published in Berlin in 1939 Luftwaffe officers said they believed Polish troops were stationed in the city.
Today, the main square is framed by low, modern houses that filled in the void left after the old, historic buildings were demolished. There are no reminders of the bombings except for the stone foundations of a 14th century church in the town center.
