Serena cruises by Venus to reach quarterfinals at WimbledonDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet1 day ago
While Serena Williams has had a dominant year, she has hardly been playing her best tennis. It has at times seemed that she's had a hard time finding motivation. That changed Monday morning as the 33-year-old faced sister Venus Williams, 35, in the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Venus came in playing stronger than she has in years. She had yet to drop a set in this tournament, and she'd won the last meeting between the pair.
With both playing at their peak Monday, it was Serena advancing with the 6-4, 6-3 victory. She was focused on her game, but it was hard not to think about the moment.
"I'm 33, and she just turned 35, I don't know how many more moments like this we'll have," Serena said after the match. "It was kind of surreal out there."
This was the 26th meeting between the sisters, the 12th at a Grand Slam and the sixth at Wimbledon. The only other time they met prior to the quarterfinals of a major was at the 1998 Australian Open. At Wimbledon, they'd never met before the semifinals.
Wimbledon Saturday: American Madison Keys reaches fourth roundDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet2 days ago
American Madison Keys celebrated the Fourth of July with a third-round win, moving on to Wimbledon's second week for the first time in her career by defeating Tatjana Maria in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Keys' strong service game propelled her to victory, as she recorded nine aces and did not double fault in the match.
Fellow American John Isner had many wondering if he'd be playing another record-setting match as his third-round battle with Marin Cilic extended into a second day. But there would be no 11-hour marathon this time: No. 5 Cilic broke No. 17 Isner at 11-10 in the fifth to secure the win. Isner held off two match points in the game before committing a double fault to hand Cilic the 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-7, 12-10 victory.
No. 22 Viktor Troicki ended the brilliant run of qualifier Dustin Brown, 6-4, 7-6, 4-6, 6-3. Brown had stunned Rafael Nadal in the second round. His third-round loss follows the precedent set by the last three men to upset Nadal in London.
All the #100+ ranked men who have beaten Nadal over the last four years at #Wimbledon (Rosol, Darcis, Kyrgios, Brown) exited in next round.
Serena survives at Wimbledon, will meet Venus nextDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet3 days ago
Venus and Serena Williams walked onto their courts at precisely the same time on Friday, Serena to face British No. 1 Heather Watson; Venus to face Aleksandra Krunic. The sisters will walk out at the same time Monday again in the fourth round. This time, to face each other.
Serena defeated Watson 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, while Venus advanced 6-3, 6-2.
"[Watson] was just playing so good there was nothing I could do," Serena said after the match.
Asked if she will speak to Venus over the weekend, Serena said, "I mean not about the match, but she's in better form than I am, so I think she has a little bit of an advantage going into that match, but at least one of us will be in the quarterfinal so that's good."
For Serena, the victory kept alive her hope of a Grand Slam of two sorts: she's won both Slam events this year, and with a Wimbledon victory will have won four straight dating back to last year's U.S. Open.
Watson played the match of her life, leading 3-0 in the third and nearly pulling off the stunning upset before Serena turned up her game.
Wimbledon Friday: Novak Djokovic cruises into fourth roundDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet4 days ago
Novak Djokovic had a quick day of work at Wimbledon, advancing in straight sets over Bernard Tomic, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. He joins No. 3 Stan Wawrinka in the fourth round, who advanced with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win over Fernando Verdasco.
Djokovic and Wawrinka looked dominant in their respective wins. Djokovic recorded 15 aces and won 18 points on 23 approaches at the net. Wawrinka served 14 aces and won an impressive 87 percent of first serve points.
Young Australian Nick Kyrgios continued his streak of knocking out top seeds at Wimbledon. Last year he stunned Rafael Nadal in the fourth round. This year he sent home No. 7 Milos Raonic in the third round, pulling off the 5-7, 7-5, 7-6, 6-3 upset.
Kyrgios served 34 aces and won 84 percent of his first serve points. "I knew my game plan had to be solid on serve," Kyrgios said after the match. "I thought I was doing really, really well today. …I created a lot of chances."
"I don't fear anyone," he said. "I definitely feel I'm playing better tennis than last year."
His lack of fear extends to his wardrobe choice for the day, as noted by the New York Times' Ben Rothenberg:
Rafael Nadal bounced from Wimbledon by qualifierDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet4 days ago
For the fourth year in a row, Rafael Nadal is on the losing end of a shocking early-round upset at Wimbledon. The two-time champion fell to German qualifier Dustin Brown in four sets on Thursday, with Brown ending the match on a powerful ace to take the 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win.
It was Brown's first time playing on Centre Court. After the match he said, "It's not easy, but it's easy for me to play my game against someone like him because I have nothing to lose."
It showed throughout the match. Brown played aggressively from the baseline and at the net. He served 13 aces and hit 58 winners. More than anything, he looked confident.
The first signs of trouble for Nadal came with Brown storming through the very first game, taking four points before Nadal took one. The rest of the set was competitive, with Brown eeking out the 7-5 win. It was nothing that Nadal wasn't likely to overcome, but still surprising.
Nadal powered through the second set, seeming to find his stride and settle in. But Brown refused to give in to the veteran. He continued executing, earning a break at two-all in the third set. That was all he'd need to take the set, never letting Nadal break him.
Roger Federer shows why he's the bestDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet5 days ago
Roger Federer was having fun on Thursday. The seven-time Wimbledon champion already led by a set and a break in the second set of his second-round match against Sam Querrey when he suddenly had the perfect opportunity to show just how much fun he was having.
Watch that again. Standing on the toes of his left foot, his right foot at a nearly 45-degree angle in the air, Federer expertly lobs the ball between his legs to the far baseline. Querrey's return sank into the net.
More looks here:
here are some replays of that federer tweener lob pic.twitter.com/7QJ1uYz2tm
"It was the perfect shot, it just felt like I had the time," Federer said later. "But if you don't win the point then you look a little bit silly."
Never you, Federer. You'll never look silly attempting brilliant trick shots. Just ask Twitter:
There are specific Federer points during which he appears to be better at tennis than anyone has ever been at anything.
God, but when Federer does retire I'm going to miss moments like that.
Wimbledon Thursday: Keys survives, Federer amazesDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet5 days ago
Madison Keys took the court for the third day in a row, winning for a second straight day as she defeated Elizaveta Kulichikova in straight sets. Keys' first-round match was played over the course of two days after being delayed by darkness. After closing out the first-round match on Wednesday, she faced Kulichikova in the second round on Thursday. The 20-year-old American didn't seem deterred by the constant schedule, looking solid in her 6-4, 7-6 win.
Keys hit 12 aces and only double faulted three times. The most impressive stat had to be her 33 winners. This marks the third year in a row that Keys has advanced to the third round in London, doing so every time she has played in the tournament's main draw.
She has never advanced to the fourth round of a major. She next faces Tatjana Maria. At 27, Maria is playing in the third round of a major for the first time in her career after defeating Ying-Ying Duan in three sets.
CoCo Vandeweghe calls Carmelo Anthony 'soft'Danielle Elliot at Busted Racquet5 days ago
After 23-year-old CoCo Vandeweghe pulled off an upset over No. 11
At some point in talking to media about the win, the topic turned to the New York Knicks.
It wasn't a complete surprise – Vandeweghe's grandfather, Ernie Vandeweghe, was a Knick. Her uncle, Kiki Vandeweghe, is a former Knick, coach and G.M. and is now the NBA's V.P. of basketball operations. He's the one that drafted Carmelo Anthony to the Denver Nuggets in 2003.
Anthony is now on the Knicks, a.k.a. CoCo's favorite team.
So, CoCo has more than one connection to Melo, in a way. And when asked about the team, she made it clear that she's not impressed with the current star.
Wimbledon grounds evacuated, but Serena's press conference continuesDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet5 days ago
The Wimbledon Tennis Club grounds were evacuated just after 9 p.m. Wednesday evening after a fire alarm sounded. Play had concluded for the day.
At first security staff evacuated Center Courte, announcing via the public address system that anyone remaining inside the building must leave.
Everyone, that is, except Serena Williams and the media covering her press conference. The announcement interrupted her press conference, but any media working inside the media center were permitted to stay inside. The media center is adjacent to Centre Court.
I hope TV shows the footage of Serena sitting through two fire alarm announcements during her press, because lol. #wimbledon
As Serena answered questions about her win, officials decided to evacuate the entire grounds, including eventually the media room. That included more than 3,000 people. All ball boys, ball girls, and staff were evacuated.
Police officer currently re-evacuating press room confirms three-engine electrical fire in Centre Court maintenance room. #wimbledon
Serena, Venus Williams advance to third round of WimbledonDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet5 days ago
Serena Williams continued the quest for her twenty-first Grand Slam – and third of the year – with an impressive 6-4, 6-1 win over over Timea Babos in the second round on Wednesday. The complete match lasted 59 minutes, allowing Williams to get off the court and out of the record heatwave currently hitting London.
The world No. 1 recorded 12 aces, winning 82 percent of her first serve points and hitting 23 winners. She looks as though she's fully recovered from the virus that she battled during her French Open title run, though reports to the contrary have been swirling around all week. Whatever the case, she looked solid on Wednesday.
"I'm definitely playing well which I never say. I had two tough matches. She's got such a huge serve, I had no option not to play well," Williams said after the match. "They were definitely not easy wins. I hope I'm not playing my best, I hope there's room to improve."

ATLANTA—David Willett, vice president of payroll sales for ADP (Automatic Data Processing, Inc.)—one of the world's largest providers of business outsourcing solutions, according to its website, and Desi Citia, an assistant at Pfizer financial services, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Fox Theater on Jan. 9.
"I liked it very much," Mr. Willett said. Ms. Citia said this was her third time attending Shen Yun. "I love it … I try to go every year," Mrs. Citia said.
Based in New York, Shen Yun presents 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture through classical Chinese music and dance. "Every year, Shen Yun unveils an entirely new lineup of dances, songs, and musical scores," according to Shen Yun's website.
Ms. Citia is a big fan of Shen Yun. "I love it—I love it," Ms. Citia said. Mr. Willett said that he is already a Shen Yun fan even though this was his first year attending the performance.
Ms. Citia is from Indonesia and said she loves the ancient Chinese culture. "The dance is really colorful, and elegant, and so graceful," she said. Ms. Citia said that they would like to come back next year.
"The atmosphere was amazing. The dancers were obviously very, very good. They were in sync and obviously something I would love to see again," Mr. Willett said.
Looking beyond the dance, Ms. Citia said she was touched by the stories in the performance. "I think what's great about it is the story. It's not just the dance. The emcee also tells you the story and what it's about," she said.
"Whether set in the past or in contemporary China, every dance embodies traditional Chinese values," according to Shen Yun's website. "Ideals of loyalty, filial piety, and veneration for the divine are cherished and celebrated," the company's website states.
"I can relate," Ms. Citia said of the tales from traditional Chinese culture. According to the Shen Yun website, a unique feature of Chinese civilization is that its history has been documented and passed down uninterrupted for 5,000 years, sometimes in vivid detail.
Reporting by Roland Ree and Kelly Ni.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. The Shen Yun International Company will be in Fort Lauderdale from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org

Minority golfers gets his shot at Riviera
LOS ANGELES On the clubhouse balcony at Riviera, high enough to see the Pacific Ocean over the tops of eucalyptus trees that frame fairways, Vincent Johnson hardly looked like a player about to make his PGA Tour debut.
For one thing, he was dressed smartly in a dark suit and tie.
He also stood out because of the color of his skin.
In the dozen years since Tiger Woods joined the PGA Tour, the number of players with African-American heritage at PGA events have been few. Kevin Hall, who is black and deaf, has received sponsor exemptions in New Orleans and Pebble Beach. Tim O'Neal has made it as far as the final stage of Q-school. Tony Smith qualified for the Buick Invitational two weeks ago.
Johnson, a two-time winner in college at Oregon State, might not have received the chance to play in the Northern Trust Open alongside defending champion Phil Mickelson if not for a newly created exemption that honors a pioneer.
In a ceremony Wednesday afternoon, he was introduced as the first recipient of the Charlie Sifford Exemption, which goes to a player who represents the advancement of diversity in golf
"It's just been a little surreal, this whole thing," Johnson said. "Finding out that I was just a candidate, I was really honored because of what Mr. Sifford stands for. And to receive it ... things like this don't happen to me."
Sifford was the first black to become a PGA Tour member in 1961 after spending the prime of his career in what seemed like a hopeless campaign against the PGA's Caucasian-only clause. The last of his two victories came 40 years ago this month at the Los Angeles Open, held that year at Rancho Municipal Golf Course.
"I thank Northern Trust for giving this young man a chance," Sifford said. "I hope some day we have some more."
Johnson faces long odds of becoming a regular on the PGA Tour, although nothing like Sifford endured – the death threats, the court battles, even finding feces in a cup when he did manage to play.
He learned to play when his father took a job as a mechanic at a public course near Portland, and despite winning twice during his three years at Oregon State, the competition gets stiffer with each level. Johnson has competed in five USGA events and has yet to qualify for the match-play portion of the tournament.
"My struggle to hopefully get to the PGA Tour one day won't be as difficult as his was, but you take inspiration from stories like that," Johnson said. "you think things are going to difficult, and things are going to be perhaps ugly at times. But if you want something bad enough, just stick with it and soon enough, I think you'll achieve it."
Johnson will play with Bryce Molder and Soren Hansen of Denmark, the last group of the morning wave Thursday, starting on the short but tricky 10th hole at Riviera.
The field includes Mickelson, trying to shake out of his West Coast doldrums; Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh and Dustin Johnson, coming off his rain-shortened victory at Pebble Beach.

Kimberley Hainey, 38, was sentenced to at least 15 years for murdering her son Declan and hiding his body.
She has always claimed she found him dead in his cot in her home Paisley, and that she played no part in his death.
Declan's body was found in March 2010, eight months after he was last seen alive. Experts were unable to establish a cause of death.
However, forensic anthropologist Professor Sue Black, of Dundee University, told jurors at Hainey's trial that marks on his bones were caused by malnutrition.
At the Court of Appeal in Edinburgh, defence QC Edward Targowski said the so-called Harris lines could be explained in other ways that did not rule out death from natural causes.
Lord Clarke, sitting with Lords Mackay of Drumadoon and Drummond Young, said a written decision would be given at a later date.

Moscow is melting, with temperatures around 38ºC and peat bogs outside the city are on fire, sending smoke across the city. It is the warmest summer in 130 years. Elsewhere in Russia, 38,000 sq. miles (100,000sq.km) of crops have been destroyed and large parts of Siberia are on fire. The price of wheat has gone up 40% over the last month due to all the fires and droughts in Russia (and poor harvests in Canada due to a wet planting season). That's really bad news, for the environment, the wallet and the bread makers.
According to NASA's Earth Observatory site, in early July, the eastern United States temperatures hit 105F (41ºC). Beijing experienced near-record heat, and temperatures soared to 122F (50ºC) in Kuwait. In fact, North America, western Canada, parts of Western Europe, Siberia, and eastern China plus areas north of the Caspian Sea are all above average. It is also unusually warm in South America, where it is now their wintertime.
The NASA map shows these temperature anomalies for July 4–11, 2010, compared to temperatures between 2000-2008, based upon land surface temperatures measured by NASA's Terra Satellite. Red and orange are above average temperatures, blue is below-average temperatures and gray areas are water or where there is insufficient information. It looks quite pretty, but also quite worrying.
It isn't good for the forests, not only are there all the fires in Siberia, but right now there are almost 400 wildfires in BC, Canada and 80% of the province is at risk of fire – so don't even think about having any camping fires.
It's not good for ice either. According to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre, the Arctic sea ice seems to have melted faster in June 2010 than ever measured in 30 years of satellite observation data but it seems to have slowed down in July – maybe because the thicker ice is now melting.
The ice coverage could still be less than the record sea-ice loss measured in 2007 when the ice melted from 5.4 million sq. miles (14 million sq. km) at the end of the winter to about 1.66 million sq. miles (4.3 million sq. km) by September 2007. Hudson Bay is already clear of ice when it is usually still full of ice in July. Ice coverage in late-summer 2008 (1.81 million sq. miles, 4.7 million sq. km) and 2009 (2.1 million sq. miles, 5.4 million sq. km) were the lowest recorded after the 2007 minimum.
Soon it will be bikini and t-shirts only in the Arctic – not good! But hey, why not take advantage of all that nasty melting ice? The Canadian and US governments are. They are taking the ice-free opportunity to make surveys of the ocean bed to survey for potential mineral resources as well as build-up a case for their respective Arctic territory claims!
Oh, by the way, did I mention the size and number of marine dead zones where deep-water oxygen levels suffocate fish and sea creatures have increased significantly over the last half-century? Many of them occur near high-density human population centers near coastal regions and where there is enormous run-off of agricultural fertilizers. These fertilizers cause large algae blooms which die and are eaten by microbes whose numbers increase and use up much of the oxygen. This isn't good news for fish lovers, nor the many people of the world who depend upon fish for their daily nourishment.
Even though the world is rapidly changing, I can't understand why so many people around the globe continue to insist upon acting as if it is still business as usual.

Morningland Challenges Standard Food Police Practices--Will a MO Judge Go Where No Judge Has Dared Go?
Suppose the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and its various local ag and public health minions had to show detailed laboratory evidence before declaring food contaminated.
Suppose the authorities needed to demonstrate that the bacteria being labeled as unfit for human consumption really were.
And suppose the presence of certain bacteria couldn't automatically be equated with "adulteration" of food.
These challenges to the regulatory conventional wisdom about food contamination could become a reality if Missouri state court judge David Dunlap agrees with the arguments made in the case of Morningland Dairy, a producer of raw milk cheeses.They coincide with at least some of the arguments that have been put forth here by a number of people, like Ken Conrad, Dave Milano, Goatmaid, and Miguel, among others.
If you'll remember, the Missouri Milk Board last August obtained an injunction to force Morningland to dispose of 50,000 pounds of cheese because a few samples supposedly contained listeria monocytogenes. No one who consumed any of Morningland's cheese has ever shown signs of illness over the last thirty years. Indeed, it's been understood from the beginning that this case was really about providing a justification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its armed raid on Rawesome Food Club last June 30, during which Morningland Cheese was seized (along with $11,000 of other food).
Morningland, backed by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, contested the state's case, and last month, in a two-day trial, the sides made their respective cases. Following the trial, the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund assembled a 39-page post-trial brief that challenges major tenets of the hysteria model used by the FDA and its surrogates in state agencies to justify seemingly arbitrary actions against small producers like Morningland Dairy.
Here are the key challenges made by the FTCLDF on behalf of Morningland:
* It termed the Missouri Milk Board's action in condemning Morningland's entire 2010 inventory of 50,000 pounds a case of "condemn first, investigate later." The condemnation was based nearly entirely on a report from the California Department of Food and Agriculture that two samples of Morningland Dairy cheese seized in the Rawesome raid were contaminated with listeria monocytogenes. In questioning the head of the Missouri Milk Board, Gene Wiseman, the FTCLDF summary states: "Wiseman testified that he had no personal knowledge of how the cheese obtained by the California authorities was collected, handled, transported, or analyzed, or whether the California laboratory followed laboratory quality analysis/quality control protocols. Wiseman also testified that he had no personal knowledge of whether in fact the two pieces of cheese obtained by the California authorities was even from Morningland."
* The FTCLDF challenged assertions by the state that Morningland's cheese is dangerous. For example, it pointed to a state expert witness, epidemiologist Mary Glassburner: "In response to the Court's questions, Ms. Glassburner testified that whether an individual gets sick or not depends on the amount of a bacteria that is eaten and on the individual's own immune system. Ms. Glassburner also testified that getting sick is a matter of risk, from low to high and from never to always."
On the Morningland side, retired pathologist Ted Beals "testified that the test results he reviewed...showed only the mere presence of L. mono. and Staph. A. The test results did not give any information regarding either (a) the types (whether harmful or harmless) of bacteria present, or (b) the amount sufficient to be potentially dangerous. In Dr. Beals' expert opinion, therefore, there was nothing in Morningland's cheese that made it a threat to the public's health because there was no evidence of any enterotoxins or of any virulent form of L. mono. in Morningland's cheese."
* The FTTCLDF called into question the standard regulatory argument in such cases that the mere presence of certain bacteria constitutes product adulteration. It argued that for adulteration to occur, "three elements must be present: (1) a substance must beadded to a food, (2) the substance must be poisonous or deleterious, and (3) the added substance must render the food ordinarily injurious to health."
The FTCLDF argued that "the State failed to prove that any of Morningland's embargoed cheese was either adulterated, injurious to the public's health, or prepared in unsanitary or unhealthy surroundings or held in unclean or unsanitary containers. The State relied on the alleged mere presence of L. mono. and/or Staph. A. to issue the embargo order."
And even the "mere presence" wasn't a certainty, because "the evidence that the State relied on was clear and utter hearsay. Indeed, the only evidence the State had at the time the embargo was issued
were the cheese sample results submitted by the California authorities, one of which
Denise Dixon [owner of Morningland] testified was not even sold by Morningland to the Rawesome food club in California. Other than the two sample results, the State Milk Board had no evidence whatsoever to place an embargo on all of Morningland's cheese. Thus, the embargo was unlawful, unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious or involved an abuse of discretion."
In an article about the case in the latest FTCLDF newsletter, Pete Kennedy, the organization's president, says, "The judge's decision will turn on what he finds constitutes 'adulteration.' If the judge rules the entire inventory of cheese in the cooler is adulterated, then he will probably order it destroyed. At the beginning of the trial, Judge Dunlap indicated that the mere presence of L. mono. or S. aureus in the cheese would not be enough evidence to constitute adulteration; but later he vacillated somewhat by stating that the Milk Board would only have to show that the cheese was harmful to a susceptible population, such as the young, elderly, and those with compromised immunity. A more favorable standard for Morningland would have been that the Milk Board needed to show that the cheese must have the capability of sickening an average person."
We may find out in the next few weeks if a judge agrees, and is willing to head down a path that no judge has yet dared go in requiring the public health and agriculture authorities to demonstrate real danger before putting a small enterprise out of business.
Ironic, isn't it, that this raw milk cheese is considered "adulterated" food, but the GMO chemically laced "phoods" are not?
bill, it's also ironic that the definition of "adulterated" includes a food whereby "any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom." See 21 usc 342(b)(1).
i wonder why fda does not consider pasteurized milk to be "adulterated?"
"condemn first, investigate later."
So much for innocent until PROVEN guilty....
"i wonder why fda does not consider pasteurized milk to be "adulterated?"
Follow the money.
Amen to Gary on that comment.....
Make sure that you tell the judge that in the CFR 1240.61 suit....so much is missing from pasteurized milk. So many can not drink it. The judge needs to hear this loud and clear. If you need testimonials....I can just ask our 4000 member raw milk facebook following and they will flow in like crazy.
The OPDC " CFR 1240.61 FDA Citizens Petition" still languishes in Washington DC on some dusty FDA shelf or file...unanswered and lonely as all heck.
The truth at the FDA is so very inconvenient.
To Mr. Troll,
By the way....I have some pretty good company as a "lunatic farmer"...Joel is one of my hero's. Not so sure about the commie part...I am more of an earthy social justice liberaterian kind of guy.
According to the FDA, pasteurization does not in any meaningful way, change the nutritional or digestive value of milk....as we all know this is a huge lie.
I posed this question to them years ago. YET....they ignorred the question ( they ignore anything they do not like ) and have yet to provide an answer. They are corrupt, arrogant, militaristic, totalitarian and just plain ugly.
Obama has begged the nations businesses to become more innovative, visionary and more connected to the consumers needs. He even pledged that his administration would take down any barriers to trade and consumer connection. The USDA seems to be well connected to this mission and vision with their Get to Know Your Farmer and Get to Know Your Food Initiative. But the FDA says that foods produced on farms are less safe than foods produced at factories. What a huge disconnect.
I know we have done our part of this effort at OPDC. Yet, the FDA fails to follow the leaders lead. They are bigger and badder than the president, because industry and government agencies change little with change of administrations. Industry changes with the all mightly dollar being taken from them. Dollar Voting changes industry.
Education, education , education and more education is the key. I give away free product continously so people can do their own Lactose Intolerance studies. The gut does not lie.
So....lets go bankrupt the bastards.
How about "low-fat" milk? The fat is in there naturally. It has to be "processed" in order for the fat to be removed. That's adulterated.
Given the vital role of fat in human health, particularly brain function, and the demonstrated role of grains in obesity, inflammation and autoimmune disorders, it's no wonder so many people are starting to think that government wants people to be fat, sick and stupid. But hey, if it means more profit for their courtiers in Big Ag and Pharma, who cares about a few little diseases of civilization?
damaged justice-
If only reality were so simple. Have you heard that New Zealand's breeders are trying to develop a breed that produces skim milk straight out of the udder?
I kid you not...
This only reinforces the need to use traditional heritage breeds for raw milk production.
Using modern breeds and industrial farming practices to produce raw milk is a recipe for disaster. While we should use modern science to our advantage, it is imperative that we use it to validate and refine traditional/heritage dairying practices, NOT to throw them in the scrap pile in favor of the new high-tech system.
I would never drink the milk from this "skim milk cow", btw...
Well then Bill . . . . as a modern big AG breed . . . . the Holstein is out.
As a modern breed - Holsteins sure give a great deal of milk but they have a very hard time giving birth to calves . . . .
I am all for using heritage breeds such as Jersey's, Brown Swiss, etc. as a preferred breed for raw milk.
The practice of taking calves from mom should be looked as a last resort as well. Milking once a day as a raw dairy is ideal for both the health of the herd (less stress on the cows and calves) and the customer and should be encouraged for humane reasons. You can get more $ for your raw milk that way too.
Kind regards,
Violet, there are older genetic lines of Fresians. Even Jerseys and Brown Swiss breeds have been modernized. It all depends where and who you get your genetics from, and what they were breeding for.
An example -- In New Zealand, they don't breed for volume, they breed for components as a function of volume -- i.e. when two cows that produce the same total amount of butterfat and protein, but one has a more concentrated milk, the cow that produces the more concentrated milk is preferred. (In the U.S. it woud be the other way around) The Kiwi's logic is that they don't want to be trucking a bunch of water around the countryside to the processing plant when its just going to be turned into cheese, butter, and powder for export markets anyways. Also, it has been suggested that New Zealand breeders unintetionally select for tolerance to protein toxicity, because they are primarily grass-based.
Its just an example... my point being is that you can't generalize that some breeds are modernized and others aren't. Most breeds have modernized genetic lines, as well as older "heritage" genetic lines.
My point about Jerseys as it regards to cheese making (which has caused such a stir around here...) is that their butterfat composition is not suited to cheese making because of the way it breaks down as the cheese ages. The Jersey breed was designed for buttermaking on the Isle of Jersey. Its going to take hundreds of years to get those genetics out of them, if that's what you are trying to do. Their butterfat is strongly biased towards the production of butyric acid, which is OK in moderation, but with a Jersey its way over the top.
I speak from firsthand experience, and from the experience of many cheese makers who are far more experienced than I -- the guy who trained me is a second generation cheese maker. His father is from Switzerland. And he will tell you the same thing about Jersey's suitability for cheese making. As will the premier farmstead cheese maker in Vermont, if you ask him...
OK, sorry, I'm getting defensive here, because I know where this was going... no hard feelings though. I'm just sharing my experience and knowledge.
Question for everyone,
I am thinking about attending the NCIMS again this year to try one more time to get the attention of the FDA on the issue of the pending Citizens Petition.
Also....just to stay on their radar and let them know we are alive in the Raw Milk Movement.
Any topics that any of you would like for me to bring up at the NCIMS CAFO PMO Church of Dead Milk? Let me know now because I have to get it on the agenda very soon.
I consider the activities and agendas of the NCIMS to be the early warning signs of greater activites soon to come with the FDA. Look at who sits on their committees....
Mark said, "Any topics that any of you would like for me to bring up at the NCIMS CAFO PMO Church of Dead Milk?"
Since you asked...
1) drop the claims that raw milk cures everything from autism to asthma to lactose intolerance to erectile dysfunction (no doubt NCIMS know about the Stanford study results)
2) stop touring the country boasting about how the warning label about risks to children and immunocompromised people increases your marketing potential in CA
3) lop the emotional, dramatic descriptions of the people that you want to meet with at NCIMS that include terms like fascist, Nazi, Church of Dead Milk and so on
4) focus on your RAMP and state regulations with coliform limits in response to the 2006 outbreak and the fact that over 4 years later, there have been no illnesses or outbreaks linked to legal, regulated raw milk in your state (bingo)
It's important to watch out for fraud:
The dogma from the dead milk society is the constant claim that there is no difference between raw and cooked milk, and they keep saying there are not studies.
Yet clearly, there are studies. Dr. Theodore Beals cited numerous, specific differences.
I would go armed with those studies.
I'm sick of FDA saying there are no studies, when the truth is, there are no studies that they have bothered to look at. It's up to us to start throwing the data in their farces. I mean, faces.
the definition of adulterated includes a food whereby any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom. See 21 usc 342(b)(1)
So the question becomes, what exactly is a valuable constituent?
It is a high-stakes question indeed since the foundation of our modern agriculture paradigm (food is safer when dead, nutrient density is irrelevant, soil quality is irrelevant, no negative potentials are associated with genetic modification or systemic, historical diet alterations such as dramatic increases in processed carbs and seed oils) may be shaken by the answer. I think this judge, if he understands the question, may have his hands full.
Dave, by that definition, we should define skim milk as adulterated.
So the question that follows... why isn't all that skim milk sitting on grocery store shelves condemed as adulterated?
The definition that the judge is bound to use is the one in the PMO.If I remember correctly there are words in there that make exceptions to the general definition of adulterate.These words make an exception for anything that might be taken out of the milk or added to it that is allowed and regulated by federal regulations.
As I suggested in my post, it will take quite an insightful judge to contradict the state's traditional interpretation of "adulteration" and ask questions of the sort you raise, about what constitutes a "valuable constituent" in food. That could open a pandora's box. I think what's significant here is that such questions are being raised in a court of law. They often have to be raised repeatedly, as part of an educational process, before finally some judge somewhere has an "a-ha moment." Even if this judge takes the easy way out and rules for the state, it's important that food producers and consumers continue to challenge the conventional wisdom on food safety and nutrition.
Granted, Mark has been known to be, shall we say, exuberant about raw milk's benefits in his public statements. However, he has played by the rules in bringing his citizen's petition to the FDA and seeking changes to the PMO. His citizen's petition has been ignored, though FDA rules require a response within six months. I was at the NCIMS meeting nearly two years ago, where he made his case about the PMO, and while he was completely respectful and businesslike in his conduct, he wasn't treated that way in return. I'd suggest that his public demeanor has nothing to do with the way he's treated by the bureaucrats. Their disgust with the business he's in comes through loud and clear in the way they treat him as a citizen seeking redress of grievances.
Love your choice of adjective for Mark. For those who don't know, exuberant originally meant an overflowing udder.
Excellent point Miguel.
It is very telling that the laws are written so that it is acceptable for a processor to ship skim milk into commercial markets, but it is adulterated if a farmer does so.
This is a milk-opera.
Mark M. said, "Obama has begged the nations businesses to become more innovative, visionary and more connected to the consumers needs. He even pledged that his administration would take down any barriers to trade and consumer connection. The USDA seems to be well connected to this mission and vision with their Get to Know Your Farmer and Get to Know Your Food Initiative. But the FDA says that foods produced on farms are less safe than foods produced at factories. What a huge disconnect. "
In case you missed the fine print, they're only talking about big businesses. Very big business. There is a disconnect inside the USDA itself, resulting in the deregulation of GMO alfalfa and GMO sugar beets. Both are ridiculous. Alfalfa has no problem growing and beets, well, their reasoning was that there's a sugar shortage! The Know your farmer folks must eat in a different lunchroom than the franken-phood deregulators.
A third hearing on Raw Milk Bill A743 was held today in Trenton, New Jersey.
At pervious hearings Assemblyman Albano had asked if anyone had brought along some raw milk to drink. Today a consumer and a New Jersey dairy farmer each provided raw milk samples. Assemblyman Albano enjoyed his first taste of raw milk.
The committee voted to release A743. Three members of the committee voted yes and one abstained. The bill moves to the full Assembly.
For information on the New Jersey raw milk bill go to http://www.gardenstaterawmilk.org/index.asp
As Raw Milk producers and consumers....it is essential to understand leadership and WHY people do things.
Raw Milk answers the dream of health for many of us....and yet it is being denied to many of us....that makes it a "We Moment" and a Dream to be passionately pursued. Our nutritional movement has all of the hallmarks of the civil-rights movement.
It's all about the money. Skimming the cream, then homogenizing the milk, then metering specific amounts of cream back in (skim, 1/2%, 1%, 2%), then using the cream for value-added products is the way the dairy industry is built. That's how they make money.
Trouble is, homogenized milk will go bad within hours unless it's pasteurized. So, pasteurization is arguably more about money than it is about pathogens. Hence, Cheese Is Serious!! - http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/cheese-is-serious-bemis.htm
IMO, the reasons for USDA's promotion of cheese have more to do with milk pricing under the FMMOS than with fractioning milk. Cheese being a class 3 or 4 product (depending which milk market order you are operating under), the farmers recieve a lower price if their milk goes into cheese than if it goes into fluid milk. Also, cheese is more shelf stable than fluid milk.
Being from Wisconsin, and being a cheese maker, I am partial to cheese... it is a more traditional (indeed, THE most traditional) method of dairy processing. BUT I recognize how it is being used to screw over dairy farmers here.
I do like that article of yours, though. That is my only critique of its analysis.
Sorry Lykke. You will need to be a little more compelling than that to get me to stop preaching about immune system recovery. Have you ever thought why I speak arround this country. It is because I share a dream of health throuh nutrition with all those that come to listen.
Today I got three calls from moms with sick kids. Kids that have been abandoned by modern medical doctors. Kids with ruined immune systems. Kids that have been on antibiotics for long periods of time because their doctors believe that bacteria do not belong in the gut and play no part in health or immunity.
Even the most basic trained biologists know that 80% of the immune system is formed of the biodiversity of bacteria that colonize the gut.
I share a dream with moms that love their kids and come to OPDC as a last ditch hail marry to save their kids. That dream is that health should be driven by prevention and solid nutrition and not greed or FDA policy or Pharma sickos.
Lykke. My dream is a dream shared by WE and is far greater than your jealously and FDA driven connections. I actually apply the PARSIFAL study and watch as kids rid themselves of drugs and asthma. I watch as Crohns suffers heal using Dr Jordan Rubens fermented raw milk smoothies
I will save the speech.
It's important to remember that these FDA folks have been programmed by industry since earliest childhood:
What we need is a national families strike held at the FDA in Washington DC demanding that Egyptian type reforms take place at the FDA....namely the resignation of John Sheehan AKA "Milk Mafia Mubarek" and others....and that the FDA embrace health through food and not increased medication of our youth. What is it going to take to get people to stand up and get serious.
With the current anti-assembly goon squads and SWAT tactics of the FDA and others, my guess is that FOOD Inc...bankrupcy through Dollar Voting is probably more American. We are a bunch of whimps.
Couldn't agree with you more, Mark. Americans worship the almighty dollar. When we will wake up!? Everyone needs good food, not just those who are rich enough to afford it!
WOW! Videos of the Egyptian protests.
Incredible stuff...
Diet soda found to increase risk of stroke by 48%
Another product endorsed as "safe" by our ever-vigilant FDA... gotta give em credit for being consistent.
Consistently Johnny-on-the-wrong-spot
everyone call visliak at 202 720 3631, if you can, to tell him to stop gmo alfalfa and gmo sugar beets , not that itll have any affect though if enough people call maybe it will..cows eat alfalfa. there goes organic raw milk unless we do something about it.
A recent model of revolution by the marketplace that may be relevant to what I and many here hope to see which is a serious and broad improvement in the foodstuffs of society (society writ large, as it is) sans the gaming of the law, the gaming of regulations, and outright propaganda and outright fraud, is the post WWII dominance of earth moving equipment by the hydraulic equipment manufacturers. At first they only displaced the shovel for digging utility trenches for suburban houses. That was all they could do and the cable-operated machinery manufacturers paid no mind. Of course hydraulics got better and better and essentially displaced the cable machines. The large metropolitan areas are many millions of souls each and only big dairy can "meet that need," however badly, today.
Steve Bemis's link above was very helpful to me ( http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/cheese-is-serious-bemis.htm). Thank you. It helps to see the conundrum of the dairy industry.
But the dairy industry cannot exist and we be made to our hurt to service its deficiencies.
No. No. No. And 'the law" had better be on the side of the right or it too will be making us serve its deficiencies, to our hurt. No. No. No.
Mr. J. Ingvar Odegaard
Point taken but I was not referring to cheesemaking with my post.
There are breeds of cattle, chickens, sheep, turkey's, etc. that are preferred for big AG. Holstein, Cornish X, Broad breasted White, etc. These breeds are not meant to be "husbanded" on a small family farm. Holstiens have problems giving birth . . . . Cornish X chickens fall under their weight over 16 weeks of age (they have a hard time walking) and you cannot breed Broad Breasted White Turkeys unless they are AI'd.
We are sustainable on our farm . . . . we raise heritage breeds with minimal inputs!
Anyone who raises the above breeds does not practice animal husbandry . . . . there I said it.
They may be in chicken tractors or on pasture are processed differently from Big Ag and they are marginally healthier for the consumer . . . . it is just not a sustainable practice.
It is very difficult to practice sustainable agriculture with modern breeds . . . . .
Kind regards,
Lykke . . . . CP and all the regulators and especially Marler . . . out there who are "HOPING" for a mistake from a sustainable small farmer.
I have news for you . . . . . we have processed nearly 500 of our poultry at a state inspected facility over the last two years.
The inspectors check the entrails very carefully for disease.
Not one of our birds have been rejected.
Culinary excellence from egg . . . pasture . . . to plate is what whe practice on our farm.
Big AG does not come close to this.
Kind regards,
And my point is that a modern breed vs a heritage breed is not as simple as "Jersey is heritage, Holstein is modern."
There are modernized high-production Jerseys that need to fed grain or they will "milk off their back" (put their own body weight into the milk), and there are old heritage genetic lines of Holstein-Fresians who do well in a bio-dynamic farming system. It all depends on who and where you get the genetics from.
I would agree that, in general, Holsteins are a less preferable breed for a sustainable system... BUT it would be a mistake to over-generalize. I suppose I speak from a position of great privilege on this issue. I am from Wisconsin, America's Dairyland. We have more small dairy farms (actually, more dairy farms period) than any other state in the U.S. That is perhaps why I know small dairy farms that have heritage lines of Holsteins that use a very-low-input sustainable system. That's the only reason I say you shouldn't over generalize the issue. Not all Holsteins are the same. And not all Jerseys are the same either.

My friend pointed this out to me (thanks, Poot). As if I didn't hate KFC enough already. They've gone lower than low and created something more repulsive than ever before.
"It's bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken." Yup. Eat your heart out. And by eat your heart out I mean enjoy the heart attack you're going to have immediately after ingesting this. Ugh. I'm so disgusted. Sometimes I think healthy foods are really making headway and then something like this shows up.
Just like the Atkins diet (which I'm pretty sure would totally allow you to eat this), this will likely bring you to a state of ketosis in no time. "Some clinicians regard ketosis as a crisis reaction of the body due to a lack of carbohydrates in the diet and consider it a dangerous and potentially life-threatening state that stresses the liver and causes destruction of muscle tissues."
Avoiding ketosis: yet another reason I'm so very glad I'm vegan.

Submission from Gregory James Moulds received on September 8, 2001 via e-mail
Subject: Canadian copyright reform
To Industry Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Intellectual Property Policy Directorate and other concerned agencies:
In response to the government's request for comments on the "Consultation Paper on Digital Copyright Issues" (CPCDI), I write to express my grave concern regarding the extreme intellectual property provisions contained therein.
It is my opinion that the proposed measures, based on the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), give far too much power to publishers, at the expense of indivdiuals' rights. The DMCA itself is already under legal challenge in the US, has gravely chilled scientists' and computer security researchers' freedom of expression around the world for fear of being prosecuted in the US.
This fear is not unjustified as the DMCA has resulted in the arrest of a Russian programmer in the US for writing a program which can disable the security" features of a technology. No weight was given to the fact that the same disabling of "security" can be performed by any knowledgable computer user by hand (i.e. without the Russian's program).
I do not want to live in a country where a trivial program that I write for my own amusement can be used to prosecute me and have me thrown in jail. My fair use rights should guard against this scenario. The DMCA does away with fair use rights.
The CPDCI provisions, which serve no one but (largely American) corporate copyright interests, are just as overbroad as those of the DMCA. These provisions would amend the Canadian Copyright Act to ban, with few or no exceptions, software and other tools that allow copy prevention technologies to be bypassed. This would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee of freedom of speech, and similar guarantees in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, since such tools are necessary to exercise lawful uses, including fair use, reverse engineering, computer security research and many others.
I urge you to remove these controversial and anti-freedom provisions from the CPDCI language. The DMCA is already an international debacle. Its flaws should not be imported and forced on Canadians.

How many of you hate going to the dentist?
12 comments:
You know, I saw a pineapple until you described the hair and the mustache and now all I can see is a man's head! I like the "hair" but I'm not sure about the "mustache", maybe if you made it one piece? I love your fabric choices for the vegetables, they almost look real.ReplyDelete
As far as going to the dentist - I've had a few root canals and although they are awful they do make the pain go away. I find that ibuprofen (Advil) helps a lot with the pain. Good luck!
I've now gone back for the 4th adjustmenton a 3 month old crown...the bite isn't right, and it makes my whole jaw sore. So I TOTALLY sympathize with you. I agree with the ibuprofen call...ReplyDelete
I didn't see the mustache until you pointed it out...grin. Veg is looking fabulous!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
I'm loving your fruits and veggies :0) I think the pineapple looks just fine, it too the second reference to mustache before I even noticed what you were talking about.ReplyDelete
oh good luck I hate the dentist too!ReplyDelete
your blocks are just beautiful, the Mary Brown quilt is really just amazing!
You know it does sorta look like a RomanReplyDelete
warrior with a helmet on. Take off or add
to it and it will be great. Your fabric
choices are beautiful.
Good luck at the dentist. You know I hate them
I LOVE going to the dentist. I am/was/usedtobe/sometimesstillam a dental hygienist!! Getting my teeth cleaned is like a good massage. Don't hate all of us. I am sorry you had a bad experience and that you need those root canals.ReplyDelete
I sympathise with you Michele because I hate the dentist too! I still have horrible memories of getting a tooth pulled and fillings done when I was a child without any local anaeshetic and last time I went to the dentist, they kept asking me if I felt ok (I think I must have gone as pale as a ghost). I made them give me extra anaeshetic too!ReplyDelete
Your applique is beautiful and I love your pineapple.
I love seeing what you do with the Mary quilt, it's fabulous. I wish you the best for the dentist. I can't say too much since that was my profession in my past life.ReplyDelete
Sorry you're under the weather, in more ways than one. :( Love the pineapple, and the way you did the layering.ReplyDelete
I didnt see the man until i read your comment, is a pineapple to me!ReplyDelete
The pineapple is great!ReplyDelete
I feel for you, having to go to the dentist, but it is worth it to stop the suffering!!
Thank you for your comment on my blog. Yes, the roses are silk. In my experience, silk stands up to laundering very well.
I look forward to seeing your border finished!
However, after suffering for several days, I went to the dentist yesterday, only to discover that I must have, not one, but two root canals. Imagine my horror and dismay. Interesting blog.ReplyDelete
Won't you please let me know you've visited by leaving a comment? It means a lot, and you do not need to be a follower to do so. Thank you, Michele

$106,000 Scholarship dollars awarded to

One of the largest
private scholarship funds in New Jersey
has just awarded 18 Hunterdon High
School Students with $106,000.

high school students with financial
needs who have also achieved excellent
This year's

worked hard to achieve outstanding
grades, participated in community
giving, and held part-time jobs to help
meet current expenses. In a required
essay, each student openly shared their
life story of the challenges they
overcame to achieve academic success and
the vision they hold to make a
difference in life.
Since its humble
beginnings in 1956, the Jennie M Haver

charitable contributions.
This year,
the fund received a $15,000 bequest from
the estate of Gus and Anne Wachholz,
longtime residents of Annandale.
"My aunt
and uncle had the resolute belief that a
higher education needs to be accessible
to the brightest academic minds
regardless of financial need" said Mr.
William Kottke, nephew of Anne Wachholz.
"And, I am proud to partner with the
Haver Scholarship Fund to administer my
Aunt's wishes."

INFO: Customizing the Microsoft Office XP Task Pane
Article ID: 288542 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q288542
Microsoft Office XP contains a new feature called the Task Pane. A Task Pane is a dockable dialog window that gives users a convenient way to use commands, gather information, and modify their documents. An Office Task Pane can contain one or more pages, and each page is broken up into sections.
Developers can programmatically manipulate the Task Pane to perform certain functions such as view the pane, dock or undock the window, and add custom information to the New Item page that is common among all Office XP applications.
The Office XP Task Pane is a special type of dockable CommandBar object. Only one task pane exists in each Office application and it can be accessed through the CommandBars collection under the name TaskPane. This CommandBar has a single control, which represents the active page. You can access a limited number of properties for the page by using this CommandBarControl. For example, to display the name for the current page in the Task Pane, you can use code such as the following:
In addition, most CommandBar customizations such as docking, height, width, and so forth, can be performed on the Task Pane itself. However, there are several things you cannot do with the Task Pane CommandBar object. Here are a few examples:
Add Items to the New Item Task Pane PageThere is one Task Pane page that every Office XP application implements: the New Item page. This page corresponds to the File New dialog box in previous versions of Office. Office XP allows you to add or remove items on this page so that documents or templates you use most often can be added for quick reference. To do this programmatically, use the NewFile object that is exposed by each Office application.
To access the NewFile object, use one of the following properties that are available from the Application object. The property names differ depending on which Office application you are working in:
The NewFile object exposes two methods, Add and Remove, which let you add and remove specific items into sections on the File New page for that Office application. For example, the following code creates a new entry in the "New Document" section for Word's File New Task Pane page:
After you run this code, there is a new entry in the "New Document" Task Pane page that, when clicked, opens the file C:\NewDocument.doc. Following is equivalent code for Microsoft Excel 2002:
NOTE: Toggle the Visible property of the Task Pane to refresh the view. If the Task Pane is visible while the New Item page is active, any changes you make through code are not seen until it is hidden and then made visible again.
You can add items to New Item pages in the other Microsoft Office XP applications as well. If you are automating the Task Pane to suit a custom application, be sure to remove any items you add by using the Remove method when they are no longer needed. The new items you add persist for that user after the application is closed.
For more information on using the Task Pane, see the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Online Help for the NewFile Object.

Does the recent DMCA exception make you more likely to Jailbreak?

Were you worried about the legality before and it was enough to make you hold off? Were you just not aware of Jailbreak before it the media spotlight hit it? Are you still concerned about Jailbreak slowing down or messing up something on your device, or voiding your warranty? Or are you just not interested in Jailbreak at all?

Does the recent DMCA exception make you more likely to Jailbreak?
I have jailbroken two iPhones in the past, but only for the purpose of unlocking the phone for use with an overseas carrier. Other than that I have no interest in JB. So basically my issue is with AT&T not Apple.
I have too much stuff I care about on my iPhone to hassle with the backups/restores needed for a jailbreak. If there were an easy way to get a few of the things I'd like (free tethering, retrogame emulators) I'd be in, but now that iOS4 has good task backgrounding, it's not worth the aggravation and security risks.
Same thing goes DOUBLE for my 64GB iPad. The thing is full of media and takes literally hours to back up. There's no way I'm going to corrupt that and do it all over again -- not even for Super Nintendo.
@ Dionte & Chuck, The JB has absolutely nothing to do with the speed or battery consumption of your device. The only way you could have slowed things down or cranked up the power use is by installing JB applications without doing your own research or paying attention to the many good reviews that are out there. The procedure gives you the freedom to mess all kinds of things up if blindly add apps, but the JB causes no damage or performance hit whatsoever.
JB adds a whole new world of capabilities to the iphone that are normally out of bounds, and I for one will never be satisfied with the stock version anymore.
Where's the choice of "No, I was going to jailbreak anyways" ?
Just waiting for the iP4 jailbreak... that's all that's holding me back. DMCA announcement is great news, and a benefit down the road for all that want unlocked/jailbroken phones. But certainly hasn't affected my decision to either jailbreak or not.
It sounds like there is still a ton of misconceptions about what jailbreak is and what it does (and more importantly does not do, lookin' at you Jindo, there is no added security risk unless you're an idiot). Modmyi has a great article today that gives a great overview, I'd recommend anyone who has any interest in jailbreaking their device to give it a read.
Expost facto: "this phone will be ahead of it's time for at least 5 years" if Apple chooses to support it. The original 2g iPhone will not be ahead of it's time because apple chose to not support it in 4.0 so the jailbreak community must step in to supplement Steve's 5 year claim. Now to the expost facto, we always knew new hardware would come out and promise new possibilities but these phones are built without the though of obsolesce, so please Apple continue to support older hardware, like you do with the desktop.
I already spend enough time messing with my PC. My phone I want to work and not worry about. I jailbroke my 3G one time just to see and it sucked. Push notifications broke and just figuring how to do themes and use a few supposedly well reviewed utility apps was a PITA. Never again, especially with iOS 4.
I was already going to jb my ip4. I like to use sbsettings, activator, mywi, 3G restrictor for starters. Still many other reasons though. I have jb all my iPhones and even though the new iOS4 has some great features (many taken from the jb community), it's not close to what can be done to this great phone when you jb it.
The problem is many many people has no idea what Jailbreak really does. The funny thing is that my 3gs does everything the IP4 does. Multitasking,customizable screen, SBsetting, running apps like Sititcher, Pandora in the back ground. It would be super awesome if TIPB write an article what Jailbreaking really is.
Is there currently a jailbreak option for the new ios ?
Sadly, the #1 reason I see people jailbreaking their phones is so they can install all of the free pirated apps from Cydia. I KNOW there are a few other reasons, but in my experiences, the biggest reason is piracy. So many apps are only $1-$3, I just can't justify it.
I also know plenty of people that have done a fresh install to remove the jailbreak after experiencing problems too...

Elementary School Counselor
Elementary school counselors observe children playing and working in the classroom and take particular note of children's interactions with other children and adults. They also confer with the children and their teachers and parents to evaluate children's strengths, problems and special needs. Counselors also help children develop good study habits and improve their organization skills. They smooth the educational path for those who are having problems from academic difficulties to health issues. Just as parents provide a support network at home, these professionals are students' support network at school—always ready to talk about problems and to answer questions.
School counselors help students understand and deal with their academic, career, social, behavioral and personal problems. They help students who are being bullied by other students, failing a math class or worrying about finding the right college or career. They work with students individually, in small groups or in entire classes.
A master's degree generally is required to become a licensed counselor.

(9) Any other consideration the council deems pertinent in evaluating requests for funding assistance.
(c) Under no circumstances may the council's guidelines allow for the approval of any project for broadband service involving the construction of a network that does not meet the minimum specifications for broadband service as set by the Federal Communications Commission.
(d) The council shall create an application form that shall be used by all project sponsors requesting funding assistance from the council to plan, acquire, construct, improve or otherwise develop and execute broadband deployment projects in type 2 or type 3 unserved areas or broadband demand promotion projects. The application form shall advise applicants of information required by state agencies that will issue permits and certificates regarding the project.
(e) The application form shall require the project sponsor to set forth:
(1) The proposed location of the project;
(2) If the project involves the construction of a network, the type(s) of unserved area(s) the project proposes to address;
(3) The estimated total cost of the project;
(4) The amount of funding assistance required and the specific uses of the funding;
(5) Other sources of funding available or potentially available for the project;

My son had the same thing when he was born. I was told by his pediatrician that it was normal and would go away on it's own. He is now 9 months old and it has been gone since he was probably 5 or 6 months.posted 03/24/2011 by AKMeehan
I have twins and only one of my babies sounds congested. Looks like its normal. She is 4 months now and sounds a lot better then when she was born. Doctor recommended using a humidifier. Vaporizers are good, but if they are not cleaned right they can also spread a lot of germs.posted 03/04/2011 by alexgarcia1

my two month old little girl is congested and the doctors say its normal and that it will take a while to go away. i use her bulb syringe to get some of the mucus out of her throat and nose. it does help her but shes still congested. so i took a triangle pillow to prop her on while she sleeps and that seems to help her alot more.i also use a air purifier and humidifier.posted 11/01/2010 by missessailormoon
My son is going on three weeks. He is severly congested where I get up every few minutes to check if he is still breathing. He wakes up screaming because he cant breath thru his nose or mouth. I have to use salin drops immediately to clear up his nose so he can breath. I went to the doctor who told me it was the NEVADA NOSE because its so dry he gets congested and all babies do at some point out here. He will just have to outgrow the congestion. However, I noticed when I leave the bedroom and rest in the living room with him he does better. I put him in his swing with a vaporizer a foot away. Its not fun knowing I have to keep a vaporizor running 24/7! But it seems to help.posted 09/18/2010 by flow940
I am a first time mom also..I had my son two weeks ago. He sounds so congested that it scares m. His said its normal and it will pass but it sound like it getting worst.

same thing...4 month old son...first time was a cold, but now second time idk...we use the nebulizer as needed, and doc said if i think i need to use it,then no harm in doing so...long term it may be a sign of asthma, but not likely.....i think it is the similac sensitive RS (no spit up) formula...t sounds like he needs just a tube down his nose into his throat to suck it out!!! he coughs, but it doesnt get it out!!!posted 05/17/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Product Information
- Hot Wheels Team Hot Wheels Stunt Devils Action Arena from Mattel
- Part of the Hot Wheels brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
The Hot Wheels Team Hot Wheels Stunt Devils Action Arena lets kids create crashing and bashing action for Hot Wheels vehicles. The story is that this is the secretive Hot Wheels Test Facility where Team Hot Wheels drivers practice, the set challenges kids to complete outrageous stunts and races. The fun of this set starts with the included Stunt Devils car, a specially designed car that will come apart on impact. It easily goes back together with just a click. Kids can configure the Stunt Devils Action Arena in different ways. Simply by moving the launchers to different positions, kids can create different stunts. Fly through the flaming hoop or challenge the loop-de-loop. Every time the car crashes, it gets "destroyed". One Stunt Devils vehicle is included, and additional Stunt Devils vehicles are sold separately.
Is It Fun?
Kids will find "destroying" the Stunt Devils car over and over again completely hilarious. As with stunts in the real world, you're not going to hit it every time, and there's a bit of a learning curve to determine how best to nail the tricks. But there's a ton of bashing and crashing action, which kids love, on the way to that learning.
We do wish that the set came with more than one car because some of the stunts, such as the head-to-head loop-de-loop, really do require two cars. Kids will definitely want to add more Hot Wheels Stunt Devils vehicles to this set.
Who It's For
The Hot Wheels Team Hot Wheels Stunt Devils Action Arena is for ages 4 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
The track took us about 10 minutes to set up, and the directions are pretty clear.
To get the most out of this set, as noted, you'll need to purchase additional Stunt Devils cars, which are sold separately.
This track set is only compatible with Stunt Devils vehicles.
The set can be connected to basic Hot Wheels orange track sets.
