ATHENS, Ga. --- Jasmine Hassell led a trio of double-digit scorers as the No. 14 Georgia Lady Bulldogs cruised past the Florida Gators, 69-52, on Sunday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum.
Hassell notched 13 points, Tiaria Griffin tallied 12 points and Krista Donald recorded a season-high 11. Shacobia Barbee led the Lady Bulldogs on the boards, pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds and tying her season high.
"I thought everything today started with our defense," said head coach Andy Landers. "We were very good defensively, but especially early on in the game. We also rebounded the ball well, and those two things resulted in possessions. Many of those possessions were transition possessions, so that was good to see. One of the things that we wanted to do today was to get the ball up and down the floor. We did that early, and that helped to create the lead."
Georgia (17-3, 5-2 SEC) took control early by scoring the first points of the contest with less than a minute off the clock. Florida matched the Lady Bulldogs for the first couple of baskets, but failed to take the lead before a Hassell layup ignited a 10-0 run that put Georgia up 14-4.
Florida (13-8, 2-5 SEC) slowed Georgia with a three-pointer, but the damage was done and the Gators were unable to gain momentum. The only time in the first half that Florida connected on back-to-back possessions was with a pair of jumpers at around 11 minutes, bringing the score to 24-14.
While the Gators kept the Lady Bulldogs from embarking on another double-digit surge, Georgia eventually stretched its advantage to 39-20 before halftime.
In the first half, the Lady Bulldogs shot an efficient 41.7 percent from the field, while holding Florida to 30 percent. Georgia also out rebounded the Gators 27-18 and used those rebounds to score 16 second chance points, compared to just six from Florida.
The first four minutes of the second period were fairly well matched, as neither team was able to take control until a trey by Merritt Hempe started a 17-2 run that lasted over eight and a half minutes and gave Georgia its largest lead of the game at 64-33.
The Gators were productive in the final seven minutes of the game, cutting Georgia's lead to 69-52, but it was too late to make a difference.
The Lady Bulldogs finished the game shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the charity stripe. After a couple of narrow wins and last week's loss, this was the most productive game offensively for Georgia since its 95-83 victory over Alabama on Jan. 10.
Georgia will return to action on Thursday, when it hosts Alabama at 7:00 p.m.
With tonight's 69-52 victory over Florida, UGA improves its record against UF to 47-14, including a 26-3 record in Athens.
The home team has won each of the last nine meetings between UGA and UF.
Georgia held Florida to 20 points in the first half, this was the lowest first half scoring total by an SEC opponent this season.
Andy Landers is now six wins shy of his 900th career victory.
Jasmine James' two steals tonight puts her one steal behind No. 8 Carla Green among UGA's career steal leaders
Jasmine Hassell's 13-point performance lands her as No. 25 among UGA's career scoring leaders, she is five points shy of No. 24 Angel Robinson.
Khaalidah Miller's two 3FGAs tonight places her one shy of No. 5 Kelly Miller among UGA's 3FGA leaders.
Lady Bulldogs In Double Digits
Jasmine Hassell tallied 13 points, her 13th double-digit performance this season and 56th of her career.
Tiaria Griffin scored 12 points, her sixth double-digit performance this season and sixth of her career.
Krista Donald notched a season-high 11 points, her first double-digit performance this season and fifth of her career.
Shacobia Barbee collected 11 rebounds, her second double-digit performance this season and second of her career.
Georgia Head Coach Andy Landers
On today's game...
"I thought everything today started with our defense. We were very good defensively, but especially early on in the game. We also rebounded the ball well, and those two things resulted in possessions. Many of those possessions were transition possessions, so that was good to see. One of the things that we wanted to do today was to get the ball up and down the floor. We did that early, and that helped to create the lead."
On the balanced scoring and assist numbers...
"Everybody contributed. J.J. (Jasmine James) did a great job of running the basketball team, but especially in those early minutes. Shacobia (Barbee) did what she normally does and Tiara Griffin was terrific defensively. Then we go to the bench and Anne Marie (Armstrong) comes up big on the boards. She did a nice job of rebounding the ball. Merritt (Hempe) came in and did some defensive rebounding and then hit a big three. Everybody came in and gave us something today which really makes it a lot of fun."
Florida Head Coach Amanda Butler
On today's game...
"I just thought we did a really poor job of executing, and Georgia's a tough team to play at home, especially when they're coming off of their bye week. I think they really used their week well, obviously, and they really came out ready. We struggled offensively in the first half. We're still just trying to get back in the groove and get Jennifer (George) her regular minutes and feeling confident. We were forcing a lot of shots, and the three-point line is not being very kind to us right now. We've got to knock down those open looks, and we have to win the rebounding battle when we're not hitting shots, and we're still struggling there as well."
On the team's mentality moving forward...
"We've got to regroup. It stinks and it feels bad to have lost four in a row, but we've got a really tough league, so if you keep trying long enough, you'll do fine. We've just got to get it back together and get our heads screwed on right. We need to just play with more overall determination because I think when we did that, things went our way. When we let our foot off the gas, Georgia certainly took great advantage of that."

It is with great pleasure that I announce to you a new position at SEARHC, Medical Director of Primary Care Clinics that will have medical oversight over all the Primary Care Clinics at SEARHC. Janice Sheufelt, MD, has accepted this position effective September 1, 2013.
With the recent resignation of Russ Bowman, Medical Director of CHS, it provided leadership the opportunity to look at how we are structured and what changes would be helpful in coordinating and collaborating in providing the best care to our clinic patients.
The combining of the two Medical Director positions (CHS and ELMC) into the Medical Director of Primary Care Clinics allows us to start down this path. Working side by side with the Director of Practice Management (similar in concept to the Hospital Administrator except for the clinics and in the process of being recruited) will create a dynamic team to lead the clinics in our goal of Population Health Management for the Alaska Native peoples.
Please extend your congratulations to Janice and assist her in any way to ease the transition into this critical leadership role at SEARHC.
Recruitment for the SEARHC Lifestyle Balance Fall session of diabetes prevention classes has begun. Classes start September 26th. During the 16-week program participants learn about nutrition, physical activity, and other topics that have been shown to delay or prevent the onset of diabetes. The program also provides individual coaching sessions which help tailor the program to fit individual goals, and social gatherings for participants to stay motivated and have fun! If interested, please contact Tiffany Nelson 364-4459.
September is National Recovery Month. SEARHC Behavioral Health staff in Juneau will hold the 3rd Annual Recovery Walk on Saturday, September 14th to honor the event. Participants will meet at Marine Park at noon then walk to Sandy Beach for food, drumming and singing. Volunteers plan to be on hand at 12 noon to start cooking for the potluck style picnic. Those planning to attend are encouraged to bring a favorite dish or alcohol free beverage to share.
We would like to acknowledge chemical dependency and mental illnesses throughout the month. We honor those who struggle with these issues and recognize the fact that people can and do recover. Please call Toni Weber with any questions 463-6670.
SEARHC frequently brings in traveling medical specialists to hold specialty clinics at a variety of facilities. This can save the expense and inconvenience of flying to Anchorage or Seattle for services not available in Southeast. Some SEARHC medical providers make regular trips to smaller, remote clinics to provide specialty services that aren't normally available in those villages. All specialty clinics, except for medical field trips and specified dental clinics, must be referred through a SEARHC provider (no self-referrals).
If you would like to check the Specialty Clinic Schedules you can find them on searhc.org. They are listed under both the "Services" menu and the "Patient Information" menu and at the following links: Dental Clinic Field Trips, Medical Field Trips, Juneau Specialty Clinics and Sitka Specialty Clinics.
SEARHC Traditional Foods Program recently published a Traditional Food Guide Calendar and a Tlingit Traditional foods poster. The guide and poster will be distributed to help promote harvesting and eating traditional, local foods. Go to SEARHC Traditional Foods program to view or download a copy of the guide and poster.

Given the chronic nature of the disease, treatment for Crohn's disease has three main goals:
Because Crohn's is unpredictable, treatment must be customized to each person. There is no "one way" to treat Crohn's disease. Treatment often involves a combination of therapies and approaches that may change over time as the disease progresses. How the disease is treated depends on a number of factors:
There are essentially two phases of treatment for Crohn's disease. The first is to control inflammation and relieve symptoms. This allows the intestines to heal. Then once symptoms have gone into remission, treatment is aimed at keeping your symptoms from returning.
Many of the medications used for Crohn's are used both to ease symptoms and to maintain remission once symptoms are under control, although at different dosages depending on the desired goal. There are five main drug classes used to treat Crohn's disease.
Antibiotics may be used both to treat symptoms of Crohn's disease and as a long-term therapy to help treat abscesses and fistulas.
Aminosalicylates (5-ASA medications) are a class of anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat people with mild to moderate Crohn's disease. They are aspirin-like compounds that contain 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA).
Corticosteroids are powerful and fast-acting drugs used for short-term treatment of symptom flares in people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. People receiving these drugs often see an improvement in symptoms within a few days of taking them. Because of the risk for significant side effects, corticosteroids are not used for maintenance therapy.
About half the time, these drugs can cause a recurrence of symptoms when a person stops taking them. For this reason, they are given at the lowest dosage for the shortest amount of time.
There is a newer type of corticosteroid that targets just the intestine rather than the entire body. This drug has fewer side effects and is being used to treat people with mild to moderate Crohn's.
Immunomodulators, drugs that suppress the immune system, are usedfor people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who:
Immunomodulators are often used with corticosteroids to help improve the body's response to medication during a flare-up of the disease. They help reduce dependency on corticosteroids. They also help maintain remission. Immunomodulators can take as long as three months to work or longer.
Biologics are the newest class of therapies used to treat people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. They are used in people who have not responded to treatment with aminosalicylates, antibiotics, corticosteroids, or immunomodulators.
Possible side effects: Redness, swelling, itching, pain, rash, or bruising at the injection site. Other side effects include upper respiratory or sinus infections, headache, nausea, urinary tract infections, depression, tiredness, diarrhea, stomach pain, joint pain, sore throat, back pain, and weight gain. More serious side effects include an increased risk of serious infections and lymphoma, cancer of the lymphatic system. Other serious side effects include heart failure, serious allergic reactions, a lupus-like syndrome, blood disorders, and a nerve condition that causes weakness and numbness.
To help ensure that your treatment works effectively, it's very important to take all medications as directed by your doctor. You should never stop taking a medication without consulting your doctor as it could cause symptoms to return.
Because some drugs may cause more serious side effects, your doctor may monitor you as you undergo treatment. So be sure you go to all follow-up doctor appointments and have all recommended laboratory tests.
If you have any questions about your treatment options or concerns about side effects, be sure to discuss these with your doctor. "A patient and physician have to weigh the risks and benefits of each treatment together based on the patient's comfort level and the doctor's expertise and experience," says Edward Loftus, MD, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
When serious complications develop, medications alone no longer control Crohn's disease or no longer work as effectively, your doctor may recommend surgery. It can be an important option for long-term relief of symptoms.
Not everyone with Crohn's disease will need surgery, but many do. "Sixty to 80 percent of people with Crohn's will need at least one surgery. Half of those people will need a second surgery. The average is about one to two surgeries in a person's lifetime," Loftus says.
In people with Crohn's disease, surgery is used to:
Your doctor will recommend the type of procedure that will effectively treat your symptoms and any complications while preserving as much of your intestine as possible.
It's important to understand that with Crohn's disease, surgery cannot cure the disease, even when the inflamed part of the intestine is removed. In fact, about 50 percent of people with Crohn's disease will see the disease come back to another part of the intestine within 5 years after surgery. However, having surgery can help relieve symptoms for years once medications are no longer effective.
Taking immunomodulators or aminosalicylates after surgery may help reduce the chance of the disease recurring. If the disease does return, it can often be treated with medication.
If you face the prospect of having surgery, it's important to give it your full consideration if your doctor recommends it. Surgery is not just a last-ditch effort to control the disease. It can be an important part of your treatment plan and greatly help improve the quality of your life. Here are some things you can do to help ease your concerns:
Once you've considered your options, you can make an informed decision. Surgery should not be taken lightly, however, it may be the best option to help relieve your symptoms and help you live a fuller life.
After you have entered remission, you will start maintenance therapy. The goal is to keep your symptoms from returning for as long as possible. Many of the same drugs used to help control flares are also used for maintenance therapy. Which medication or combination of medications your doctor recommends will depend on:
Antibiotics, 5-ASA medications, immunomodulators, and biologics are all used to help maintain remission.
It is much easier to stay in remission than it is to get the disease under control in the first place. Here are some steps you can take to help maintenance therapy work for as long as possible:
To help manage occasional bouts of cramping, diarrhea, or joint pain, your doctor may suggest the use of certain over-the counter drugs:
However, because these drugs can hide symptoms of a disease flare, it's important to consult your doctor before taking them.
"Over the last decade, treatment improved dramatically with the introduction of biologics. That forward progression has slowed somewhat in the last few years, but there are a lot of hopeful new treatments in the pipeline. I think we will continue to find biologics that are quite effective. And in the near future, we are refining the use of current therapies to more effectively treat Crohn's disease," says Joshua Korzenik, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Korzenik is the director for the Crohn's and Colitis Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
There is no question that living with Crohn's disease is a challenge. But the future looks bright as researchers from all over the world focus on understanding more about this complex and mystifying condition.

Scarver on mark for Thundering Herd
HUNTINGTON — D.D. Scarver wasn't surprised when he made 10 consecutive foul shots at the end of a Marshall University men's basketball victory Wednesday night.
Neither was Marshall head coach Tom Herrion.
"It's free throws," Scarver said Friday before practice. "I should make them."
Scarver made all 10 of his foul shots in the final 1:17 for Marshall (4-3) in a 70-67 defeat of Morehead State in Cam Henderson Center. He sank 12 of 13 in the game, increasing his season percentage to 87.5.
Morehead State was pressuring Marshall full-court attempting to catch up, and the Thundering Herd used Dre Kane as the trigger man feeding the basketball in bounds to Scarver. Scarver used his quickness to catch the passes and did what he's supposed to do, Eagles head coach Sean Woods said.
"I knew he would make them," Herrion said.

Sixteen year-old Katya Spivak is out for a walk on the gracious streets of Bayhead Harbor with her two summer babysitting charges when she's approached by silver-haired, elegant Marcus Kidder. At first, his interest in her seems harmless, even pleasant; like his name, a sort of gentle joke. His beautiful home, the children's books that he's written, his classical music, the marvelous art in his study, his lavish presents to her: Mr. Kidder's life couldn't be more different from Katya's drab working-class existence back home in South Jersey, or more enticing. But by degrees, almost imperceptibly, something changes, and posing for Mr. Kidder's new painting isn't the light-hearted endeavor it once was. What does he really want from her? And how far will he go to get it?
In the tradition of Oates's classic story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" A Fair Maiden is an unsettling, ambiguous tale of desire and control.
Innocently it began. When Katya Spivak was sixteen years old and Marcus Kidder was sixty-eight.
On Ocean Avenue of Bayhead Harbor, New Jersey, in the thickening torpor of late-morning heat she'd been pushing the Engelhardts' ten-month-old baby in his stroller and clutching the hand of the Engelhardts' three-year-old daughter, Tricia, passing the succession of dazzling and dreamlike shops for which Ocean Avenue was known—the Bridal Shoppe, the Bootery, the Wicker House, Ralph Lauren, Lily Pulitzer, Crowne Jewels, the Place Setting, Pandora's Gift Box, Prim Rose Lane Lingerie & Nightwear—when, as she paused to gaze into the Prim Rose Lane window, there came an unexpected voice in her ear: "And what would you choose, if you had your wish?"
What registered was the quaint usage your wish. Your wish, like something in a fairy tale.
At sixteen she was too old to believe in fairy tales, but she did believe in what might be promised by a genial male voice urging your wish.

A Rio Arriba County Sheriff's deputy is out of the hospital and a woman is behind bars after she fled an officer only to crash into another deputy in Espanola on Saturday night.
New Mexico State Police said Melissa Valdez fled one deputy at a traffic stop after 8 p.m. outside the Espanola city limits.
The deputy did not chase Valdez, instead she ran her vehicle into the back end of another sheriff squad car driven by Rio Arriba deputy Peter Chavez.
Chavez was transported to the hospital with severe whiplash. He was later released.
Valdez reportedly drank a half pint of liquor before the initial traffic stop, state police said.
Three other adults and an 8-year-old child were also in her car at the time of the crash.
She was charged with DWI, child abuse and aggravated fleeing from an officer.

2011 Beatty Ranch Howell Mountain
Cabernet Sauvignon
Ranging between 1720 to 1800 ft in elevation, the 32 acre Beatty Ranch sits above the fog and at the heart of the Howell Mountain appellation. So much so that the Howell Mountain appellation came to be with the help of Randy Dunn (Dunn Vineyards), Bill Smith (La Jota Vineyards) and topographic maps of the area spread on Mr. Beatty's dinning room table. This vineyard has a long history as some zinfandel blocks were planted over 100 years ago, back to before Prohibition. The cabernet sauvignon blocks that we source from were planted over 40 years ago making these cabernet vines, planted in iron rich red Aiken soils, some of the oldest on Howell Mountain.A blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon, 8% cabernet franc, and 3% petit verdot, this wine is 100% Howell Mountain.

I was amazed that after so many bland, boring, average singers had been coughed up via the X Factor, the law of averages had finally kicked in and some talent had been found. Shortly afterwards, I was offered an interview with Rebecca.

An interesting collection of actors helps keep this wonderful atmospheric picture afloat. However, one doesn't really see a lot of sexual chemistry between Gabin and Lupino. As good as the French actor is, it probably would've been better if Lupino had been paired with John Garfield. I think it would've been more commercial and much more a must-see classic today.

Omitting Soda Pop
I read "fooducate" quite often and I found This article: 9 reasons to quit soft drinks and realized that it's been a while for me since I've actually enjoyed a "Soda" (or pop or coke or w/e you want to call it!).
1. Obesity.
2. Tooth decay.
3. Money.
4. Taste.
5. Refined Sugars.
6. Artificial sweeteners.
7. Artificial Colors.
8. Ecology.
My reason for quitting didn't include any of these. I just became disgusted with the thought of the mixture of ingredients overall, and the lack of sweetener studies.
Could you quit the stuff?
Do you have Soda limitations/exceptions?

If you want to know how to beat cancer, we would list the main ways that can come to your help. Cancer is an extremely lethal disease and a lot of people suffer from it. You should try the best way of curing this excruciatingly painful disease.
The first step in how to beat cancer remains diagnosing it as and when it happens. When cancer moves to higher stages, the chances of recovery get minimized. So, it is advised that you take care of yourself and monitor your health regularly. Doing so would give you the right chance of speedy success. So, if you are experiencing some symptoms of the disease, opt for a diagnosis and get yourself treated.
If you want to know the modern and unconventional way of how to beat cancer the right way, it is opting for care centers. At the different cancer centers, you can find the best way of getting yourself treated. Immuno augmentative therapy and EDTA chelation are two of the strategies that are used by a lot of care centers. So, do not be scared to opt for the non conventional methods as well. They have been successful in the past.
You must eat the right food. A good diet is vital for your health. Indulging in foods that have cancerous compounds can prove to be fatal. So, you need to plan your diet and eat those foods which are sure not to have an adverse effect on your body. There are few products which have anti-cancer properties. Opting for these products can not only help in preventing cancer, but it may also help in curing cancer as well.
There are medical methods of treatment as well. You can opt for chemotherapy methods or radiation therapy as well. The problem with these methods is that they are painful and if patients stop responding to the treatment, the chances of recovery might drop down drastically. Not only this, there are side effects of this treatment method as well as some people become extremely weak with these methods.
Last but not the least; you need to have the will to fight the disease. Without the desire in yourself, even the best of treatments might fail to be of use. So, if you want to give yourself the best chance of recovery from this monstrous disease, we would request you to follow all the steps that we have laid for how to beat cancer and at the same time have the burning desire to live. So, don't go down without a fight!!

ERWIN — The proposed helicopter landing pad project at the Limestone Cove Volunteer Fire Department will remain grounded, at least until Unicoi County officials can take a closer look at the project's proposed funding source.
After some discussion, the Unicoi County Commission voted at a called meeting held Tuesday evening to table its consideration of funding the helipad project. The item was proposed by Commissioner Kenneth Garland, who said last week he would like to see the county use $6,325 of the $750,000 contribution Unicoi County received from
Mountain States Health Alliance following its acquisition of Unicoi County Memorial Hospital to construct a 20 foot-by-20 foot helipad, surrounded by eight lights, at the LCVFD.
Garland said this helipad would serve as a landing and takeoff point for emergency air transport services, such as Wings Air Rescue, to allow quicker accessibility to the Limestone Cove area in the event of emergencies.
At Tuesday's meeting, Garland said he felt the project would be important not only for those residing in and traveling through the Limestone Cove area, but to Unicoi County as a whole. He also said the $6,325 for the pad would be the "best money we'll ever spend."
"Six-thousand dollars is nothing compared to what it will do for that section up there," Garland said.
While he agreed the helipad is needed in the Limestone Cove area, as well as others, Commission Vice Chairman Dwight Bennett said he would like to see the formation of a committee that would be tasked with reviewing how the MSHA funds are spent.
The work to construct the helipad would not be completed by the county, but Unicoi County Attorney Doug Shults advised commissioners that if the county were to provide the funding for the project, it would have to consider the expenditure a "charitable donation." Because of this, the county would have to advertise the $6,325 as a nonprofit appropriation, Shults said.
After Garland's motion to approve funding the project failed, Bennett made a motion that the commission table consideration of the item and establish a committee to address requests the county receives for MSHA funding and to ensure this funding is spent appropriately.
The commission also voted to approve a resolution to adopt a continuing budget and tax rate for the new fiscal year set to begin July 1 until a budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year is passed. The county's property tax rate for the 2013-14 fiscal year was previously set at $2.6838 per $100 on real property.comments powered by Disqus

So much for near-record gasoline prices prompting Americans to curtail their driving.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Video Games' started by Ryudo, Jan 9, 2012.
Cool. Gonna add you when I get on in a min.
Heavy Rain was sooooooo freaking good. One of the best and most unique video game experiences I've ever had. Certainly of this console generation.
I would add La Noire to that Heavy Rain recommendation.
But on the Heavy Rain bandwagon, can't wait for Beyond Two Souls the next release from Quantum Dream studios. Same company that made Omikron Nomad Soul of course.
Alright, I'll be on steam tonight if you wanna game.
I still don't have a respectable gaming machine so that will probably have to wait. I just really got into it so all I have now are a couple single player games. I'll go ahead and add you though. Planning to build a computer here in the next few months though.
Still haven't played LA Noire. Heard very mixed things but I still wanna play it. I'm super pumped for Beyond Two Souls as well.
I found LA Noire really boring personally. I might have made it halfway through the game before uninstalling.
Uncharted 2 is still the best game of this gen

Gurkha Templar Reviews
This is a smooth smokey Treat at a great price!! My new favorite every day treat!!!
Okay, the templar reception was the very first gurka made cigar I ever had. It came in a sampler and I looked forward to trying it as I read a lot about the brand being good. I will say the taste was decent for the first third which was all I got because the darn thing split to the nub leaving an unsmokable mess. Wrapper and binder both! I later found a number of reviews from folks who had the same problem of the cigar basically exploding apart from about a third down to the nub. Gurka needs to switch to machine made cigars in my opinion as the blends I have had several others in samplers I actually was able to smoke were decent tasting but nearly every other cigar had flaws making them either unsmokable or so bad in flavor I wanted to stop smoking them. Bad burn, bad construction, but decent tobacco blends. Considering what I read about them they may have a skills gap once you get past the folks making the HMR line? My opinion is they need a machine roller setup or stop making cigars in lower price ranges. Try these if you must as they are not too bad tasting if you get the 2 out of 10 that are rolled properly. As for the rest I think leaves rolled in gasoline and newspaper was how I described my very last Gurka made cigar. I do not like writing a bad review as I love cigar smoking and we all have different tastes but I gave Gurka cigars a fair chance and found little value for the money spent.
I am going to keep these in Stock.. Great taste, nice and smoky, great flavor. Exactly what I expected from Gurkha.
These suck as do many of the Ghukhas do. Who smokes these things and who sets Gurkhas MSRPs? Ridiculous!
These suck as do many of the Ghukhas do. Who smokes these things and who sets Gurkhas MSRPs? Ridiculous!
Uneven burn, loosely packed constantly unraveling. Dropped hot ashes like crazy so watch where you smoke em.
These are very tasty smokes for those on a budget. They should sit in the humi a couple days after receiving I believe shipping drys them out to the point where the wrapper will crack. I say moisten them up a bit and enjoy.
I experienced no problem with the burn, but the flavor is terrible. It is what I would expect from smoking wet grass after applying fertilizer. I tried letting them set in my humidor for a few weeks, but it didn t help. I am considering aging them in the open air and seeing if I can salvage them.
I recently bought a sampler of the Templars, in various lengths. Great smoke! Reasonable price for an everyday smoke. They're great to share if you want to impress friends who don't know how little you actually invested! I'll be stocking the tupper-dor with more! Only "con", the wrapper busted, when it was down to the final third.
The smoke was excellent, mild, smooth, and creamy; the burn was even on all that I tried 10 so far ...BUT, I may have just gotten an old batch...on all 10, the wrapper and binder fell apart after 1/4 of the cigar was smoked. Great taste but won t be buying these again.
Rip in the wrapper, roller tried to coat it with gum base. Whole wrapper split upon lighting,and cigar exploded about 1/4 of the way in. Taste between cigars was significantly different. Nicotine was pleantiful, everything else was left to be desired. Would suggest paying more than $2 a stick for this magnum, or you will be dissapointed.

Mark V. Sykes: Robert M.

They are fighting for all of us, and they deserve our respect and support.
Whom Do You Trust?
Steve Hochstadt: Those who want government to go away, or at least get a lot smaller, seem to have two ideas about how to shrink government: Cut out the "waste" and let private companies take over many of its functions. Their assumption is that the private sector can do these jobs better and cheaper. Is that true?
The Possible Prosecution of WikiLeaks
Ivan Eland: The U.S. Justice Department is apparently considering prosecuting Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, which is a Web site that publishes classified documents from governments, under the rarely used Espionage Act of 1917. Such a prosecution would have adverse effects on the American people's right to know what their government is doing in a republic that is supposed to be run by them.

Tina Dupuy: Going largely underreported, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke at the Eisenhower Library (name for the president who coined the term "military-industrial complex"), last week calling for cuts in the Pentagon's budget. Gates asked, "Does the number of warships we have and are building really put America at risk when the U.S. battle fleet is larger than the next 13 navies combined, 11 of which belong to allies and partners? "
ICE Claims It's Not Legally Responsible For Immigration Detention Death
Andrea Nill: This week, a judge will decide on whether the federal government bears culpability for another immigration detention slip up: the August 2008 death of Chinese immigrant, Hiu Lui "Jason" Ng. ICE is also arguing that this case should be dismissed on grounds that staffers at the jail at which Ng died are contractors — not government employees.

Digital Image - Destroyed Home on Lorne Cliffs, Bushfire Beach Survey, Lorne, Feb 1983 Reg. No: MM 112384
- Summary:
- Photograph taken of bushfire affected home in Lorne following Ash Wednesday.
This image was taken by Andrew Wegener on a field survey following the Ash Wednesday Bushfires on the beaches between Apollo Bay and Torquay. The survey studied the effects of bushfire on the wildlife and a number of specimens were photographed and collected that day. Andrew Wegener donated 15 of the specimens to the ornithology collection at Museum Victoria for study and research and published a paper in the Victorian Bird Watcher describing the survey and its findings.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This series of images is significant in a number of ways. It references the effects of bushfire on wildlife and illustrates quite literally the power of the heat and ambient environment during a bushfire. Most of these animals showed no outward signs of bushfire effect. Most died from heat or smoke exhaustion. Further these images illuminate a small collections in the ornithology collection made up of samples from this survey. Whilst the images give a human context to the specimens and reveal how and when the survey was conducted they also stand as a visual identification for what are now only bones.

QUESTION: Good morning, Mr. Secretary.
RUMSFELD: What's up? Above average. [Laughter.]
QUESTION: First of all, Mr. Secretary, how concerned are you with al-Qaida coming over the border in Mexico?
RUMSFELD: Well, when you have a large country and long borders obviously you have to be concerned about it. You've got borders in the north and the south that run thousands of miles. You've got sea coast on the east and the west where we have an enormous amount of traffic. It requires vigilance, it requires attention, it requires new types of technologies and approaches and the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Coast Guard do everything humanly possible to try to see that those borders are managed in a responsible way.
Obviously, there's a tension between security and living as free people so they balance those risks and do a pretty darn good job.
QUESTION: In the upcoming summit with President Bush and President Fox, how much of border security is going to be on the agenda?
RUMSFELD: I don't know. It will be interesting to see, but certainly it's a subject that comes up.
QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, two years after the war, was it worth 1500 American lives and countless number of Iraqis? And on the other hand, are you concerned you're pushing the Iranians and Syrians together?
RUMSFELD: The answer as to whether it's worth it is you bet. There's 25 million Iraqis that are free. We've seen the effects, and we know for a fact that the great sweep of human history is for freedom. What you're seeing in Ukraine and what you're seeing in Lebanon, what you're seeing with the Palestinians, what's happened in Afghanistan, I think is a reflection of the fact that human beings basically want to be free and nations that are subjected to vicious dictatorships are the kinds of nations that do what Saddam Hussein did. He used chemical weapons on his own people and on his neighbors, the Iranians. He invaded two of his neighbors. What we're seeing today is economic progress in Iraq, we're seeing political progress and the seating of a Constituent Assembly. We're seeing progress on the security front with 145,000 Iraqi Security Forces now assuming greater responsibility.
What's happening in Afghanistan, and it's interesting, people don't ask about Afghanistan any more. Three thousand Americans were killed in the United States of America. Why? Because a terrorist state launched attacks against our country and killed innocent men, women and children. Today that country has a popularly-elected President, its economic progress is notable. Women were able to vote. Women are able to go out on the street today in Afghanistan without escorts and to participate in society.
So combined, 50 million people are free. Is it worth it? You bet.
QUESTION: The Iranians and Syrians?
RUMSFELD: The question the way you stated it implied that the Iranians and Syrians have not been connected for decades, which would be incorrect. They have been connected. Iran is a terrorist state; Syria is a terrorist state. The Iranians have been working with the Syrians and sending down weapons for the Hezbollah through Damascus into Beirut, Lebanon and into the Bekaa Valley for years after years after years. So there's nothing new in terms of that relationship.
QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, Canada's begging out of the missile defense testing and as a result Secretary Rice has canceled a visit to Canada. How much has this hurt the missile defense testing program, and how has it hurt U.S. relations with Canada?
RUMSFELD: Well first it's not clear to me that the canceling of the trip was a direct result of what you're talking about. I think that might be a misunderstanding. Second, we have no need for Canada to participate in missile defense. The program will go on just as it would have without them. Had they decided to participate it would have benefitted them, but they've made a decision that a sovereign nation can make and it doesn't damage our relationships whatsoever. They're perfectly free to decide anything they want in something like that and it will not adversely affect our missile defense program in the slightest.
Thank you, folks.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner responds to recall campaign
SAN DIEGO - Embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is touting his accomplishments in office over the past eight months in response to a recall effort seeking to strip him of his job.
Filner's comments are part of a formal response he filed with the City Clerk's Office late Monday night. The one-page response makes no mention of the sexual harassment allegations against the mayor or the accusations that he has shaken down developers for donations.
"Now is not the time to go backwards -- back to the time when middle- class jobs and neighborhood infrastructure were sacrificed to downtown special interest," Filner wrote. "We need to continue to move forward!"
Filner goes on to write about his efforts to improve Balboa Park, make neighborhoods more accessible to bicyclists and pedestrians, and San Diego's recently reached five-year labor agreement with city employees.
Organizers of the recall effort are now required to publish his response before they can begin collecting signatures for the Filner recall petition. Organizers must collect nearly 102,000 valid signatures and submit them to the City Clerk's Office by Sept. 26.
Rachel Laing, a spokeswoman with the recall effort, said organizers plan to publish Filner's response immediately per the city's recall rules.
Michael Pallamary, one of the leaders of the effort, also issued a statement in response to the rebuttal.
"Mayor Bob Filner obviously believes his policy initiatives excuse his being A sexual predator. His reply is unacceptable. San Diegans want a mayor that doesn't grope and demean women, who doesn't abuse his office to satisfy a perverted quest for a sense of power, and who has the ability to lead our great city -- an ability Filner can never, ever reclaim. Our fellow citizens will unite behind our effort to move beyond the great shame our mayor has brought upon our city through his considerable misdeeds. We will recall him from office."
City Council President Todd Gloria said the mayor's response shows that "he just doesn't get it."
"He does not address the serious claims against him and instead provides a laundry list of proposals that cannot be accomplished because he refuses to resign," Gloria said.
The councilman, who represents downtown San Diego, Hillcrest and North Park, said he shares a progressive vision that puts neighborhoods first, and agrees this is not the time to move backward.
"The truth is, the only way we can move forward is for Bob Filner to resign," Gloria said.
Filner is accused of sexually harassing by 14 women to various degrees. Filner's alleged actions against women range from unwanted advances to groping and kissing. He has apologized for mistreating women and sought treatment at a behavioral treatment center, but has denied that his actions constitute sexual harassment.
The list of alleged victims includes two municipal employees, one of whom is being represented by famed Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred and has sued Filner and the city. It also includes two women who said Filner made passes at them last year at a meeting of veterans who were raped in the military. And one of the complainants is a retired rear admiral.
All nine members of the City Council, both of California's senators and other local civic and business leaders have called for the mayor to step down immediately.

Now is not the time to go backwards — back to the time when middle-class jobs and neighborhood infrastructure were sacrificed to Downtown special interests. We need to continue to move forward!
We have moved toward the vision of producing thousands of middle-class jobs in our port; creating a solar-based City to enhance our environment and create jobs; building an efficient international border to bring billions of dollars into our economy; keeping our military and hitech sectors strong and vibrant.
We have produced a creative vision for our Balboa Park Centennial which will make it more accessible and beautiful for our citizens and bring millions of tourists to San Diego. Balboa Park's Plaza De Panama is at last free of automobiles and will transform the pedestrian experience for the next century.
We have brought world class urban thinkers to transform our neighborhoods into livable, walkable and bikeable adventures. Neighborhood leaders feel a new sense of empowerment and excitement!
We have put millions of new dollars to bring the City's arts and culture to new levels; our river park systems are experiencing new growth; our homeless population and military veterans have new hope for jobs and self-respect; we are spending more dollars on our road infrastructure than ever before.
We negotiated a five-year labor agreement which brings new stability, hope, and respect for our City employees. Our working people see new hope for livable wages. The expansion of the Convention Center will bring thousands of jobs and millions of tourists to San Diego.
Our position as one of the biggest bi-national metropolitan areas in the world promises new trade, new cultural interchanges and new possibilities. We are developing a proposal for the first bi-national Summer Olympics in world history for 2024!
As your Mayor, I am committed to moving San Diego forward!
Bob Filner

Bridge Out of Nowhere Leads a Town to Its Future
By PATRICIA LEIGH BROWN
Published: February 19, 2004
REDDING, Calif.— EMILIE READY, a 74-year-old mortgage escrow officer and a member of a local women's club, vividly recalls the day seven years ago when Santiago Calatrava, the renowned Spanish architect and engineer, unveiled his design for a glass and steel footbridge across the Sacramento River to members of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions Clubs assembled for lunch at the Doubletree Inn.
''I thought, 'Gee, whillikers,' '' she said. '' 'It's a nice design.' But a lot of us were wondering whether it would fit in Redding.''
Many people in this far-flung outpost of 85,000 between Sacramento and the Oregon border still wonder whether the bridge -- known as the ''Sundial Bridge'' for the slanted pylon that will function as a sundial pin and glow with the noonday sun -- will fit in. This is a city that measures itself by the natural wonders in its midst, by the Trinity and Cascade mountains, pine forests and alpine lakes. The most striking piece of architecture around is arguably a dam.
But before Mr. Calatrava went to Athens, where he is designing buildings for the Summer Olympics and a laminated glass roof for the main stadium, or New York, where his design for the World Trade Center PATH Terminal was recently unveiled, or even Milwaukee, where his extension for the Milwaukee Art Museum was completed in 2001, he alighted in this obscure spot where the fast-food nation and the wilderness meet. It's a sweltering summer pit stop on the interstate about four hours north of San Francisco where, in the words of Bob Nash, president of the local farm bureau, ''people come to go camping or buy gas so they can leave.''
The bridge is Mr. Calatrava's first free-standing bridge in the United States. Scheduled to open in April, it is already poised to alter the image of a conservative, decidedly unaffluent community that has struggled with its identity since the decline of the timber industry in the early 1990's. Shaped like a reclining harp with an aquamarine glass deck, the bridge threatens to bring high romance to a river whose niche in the popular American imagination has never rivaled that of the Hudson or the Mississippi.
''Though it is not the center of the world, it is a very beautiful environment for a bridge, with volcanic mountains and dense forests'' Mr. Calatrava said in a telephone interview. ''It will be not only a passage but a place to sit and observe the water.''
Metaphorically, at least, the bridge, which links a new natural sciences museum with an arboretum and a 32-mile network of trails along the river, has spanned troubled water. At a cost of $23.5 million, it has been financed almost entirely by the private McConnell Foundation in Redding, which persuaded Mr. Calatrava -- who at the time had designed no major structures in the United States -- to visit the town.
With a $344 million endowment, the foundation wields tremendous clout in civic affairs and has been controversial here, partly as a result of a perception that its projects, including the bridge -- whose delays and rising costs have been chronicled in detail in the local press -- are elitist. In an area where the child poverty rate is 21 percent, almost five percentage points higher than the national average, many agree with Mr. Nash, who calls the bridge ''the epitome of waste -- you can't even drive a car on it.''
Like many towns in the Central Valley, Redding had turned its back on the river, first by building a downtown shopping area, now moribund, and later with malls and subdivisions with names like River Knoll sprawling on the hilltop. ''Art and culture have never been high on the agenda,'' said Carol Whiteside, president of the Great Valley Center, a nonprofit regional public policy organization in Modesto, Calif. ''Many rural places don't understand the value of landmarks.''
Mr. Calatrava's bridges, which number 20 worldwide with 5 more under construction, are famous for their ''swerve'' -- an appearance of arrested flight or movement that has been compared to the balanced posture of a discus thrower just before the release.
''A bridge adds energy to the landscape,'' Mr. Calatrava has written. ''Building a bridge is a symbolic gesture, linked with the realities of the people crossing and the surmounting of an obstacle.''
The obstacles in Redding have been formidable. The city itself has contributed $3 million to the project, including $1.5 million in federal highway beautification funds. It had wanted to build some sort of footbridge since the mid-90's, to join the arboretum, now under construction, and the new Turtle Bay Exploration Park, a museum dedicated to the natural history of the river and designed by the firm of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Both of those projects have been largely subsidized by the McConnell Foundation, whose founders, local entrepreneurs named Leah and Carl McConnell, were committed to community projects. Their fortune was based on timely purchases of stock in the Farmers Insurance Group in 1928 by Mr. McConnell's parents.
Mrs. McConnell, who died at 90 in 1995, outliving her husband by 10 years, grew up in the nearby mining camp of Humbug and was known as a shrewd businesswoman who favored $5 watches while keeping her jewels in a safe deposit box. But the foundation's ''big-time-itis,'' as one correspondent put it in a letter to The Redding Record Searchlight, has not sat well with many in the community. Since Redding's founding as a railhead for miners in the 1880's, it has prided itself on its cowboy-style independence, which manifests itself in things like the municipal power authority, generating power separate from the state power grid. ''We're as far away from California as you can be in California,'' said Ken Murray, a former mayor and the host of ''Murray in the Morning,'' a radio talk show here.

Full detailed profile on Meggie McLaine Played by Sean Young on The Young and the Restless Daytime Soap Opera.
Sean Young (CBS)
Birthday: November 20 1959
At the jail, Meggie slips into a storage room and starts taking off her orange jumpsuit. She has the pink scrubs underneath and dons a hair net. As she tries to make her way out of the prison, she is arrested and cuffed. The guard says she has a one way ticket to the state pen. She hisses that Deacon Sharpe has messed with the wrong woman this time.
In their suite at the Club, Deacon tries to talk Nikki into going to the Bahamas for a week. He says he wants to be like a normal couple with no one glaring at them. Nikki says he's right, and agrees to go. They pack up, and Deacon goes to load the car. Nikki turns on her phone and it rings. Meggie blurts that someone close to her helped set her up. She tells Nikki to come see her now. Deacon comes back upstairs to find Nikki gone. He looks at Nikki's phone and says, "Meggie."
Nikki arrives at the jail and asks Meggie who this person is that helped her. Meggie says what she has to tell her will rock her world. Nikki says to give her a name. Just then, Deacon walks in. Meggie lets Nikki know that Deacon is the one who helped her. Meggie tells the whole sordid tale, and Nikki asks Deacon if it's true. He says, "I swear, Nikki, my feelings for you are real." Meggie is led away as Nikki goes hysterical on Deacon and runs out. In the corridor, Nikki calls Nick, saying she's made a mistake and needs to reach Victor. Nick tells her he eloped in Vegas with Diane.
Deacon arrives at the jail and tells Meggie it's their lucky day - they're going to have a conjugal visit. They get behind closed doors, and Deacon strips down to reveal pink hospital scrubs under his clothes - she'll use them to walk out of there. She puts them on under her orange suit and he tells her never to contact him again. Deacon whispers to the guard on his way out, "Tell the warden she took the bait."
Deacon shows up at the jail and snidely suggests Meggie start digging with a spoon. She smirks and calls Nikki's phone. He stops her part way through leaving a message.
Victor pays Meggie a visit in jail. He informs her that he will make sure she's consigned to a dark and lonely hole for the rest of her miserable existence.
Murphy arrives at Meggie's jail cell. They trade barbs. She tells him she'll be out before he knows it. Katherine appears and says she'll make sure Meggie spends the rest of her life in jail. Murphy says he is finally getting justice for his son, knowing she'll spend the rest of her life behind bars.
Deacon goes to the jail and tells Meggie to back off in response to her latest threat. He claims he and Nikki have both moved on, but she shows him a picture of them together in the paper and asks if he wants to be prison pen pals. Meggie lets him know she expects him to bust her out of jail, and if he doesn't come through for her, Nikki will find out all!
Meggie is led into a jail cell in Genoa City. Rafe is there and reads the charges and evidence against her. He warns Victor will put her away, and suggests a plea bargain. Meggie says it's not her style. Rafe leaves and Deacon appears. Meggie asks how their aging princess is, quipping, "Are you still hitting that?" Deacon tells her to shut up and threatens to tell all in court if she utters his name. Meggie smirks, "Everything we did." Deacon leaves and Nikki shows up. She confronts Meggie about all of the things she did. Meggie casually says there's no evidence she was spiking her drinks. Nikki vows to see justice served. Meggie coyly asks if she's still going to AA meetings with Deacon. After Nikki's gone, Meggie reads a gossip column about Nikki dancing with Deacon at the charity event.
Victor grabs Meggie's head at the Ranch and tells her that he found the drugs she had intended to use on him and switched them out for fake ones. He says she's in a whole lot of trouble. Ronan, Heather, and an officer stride into the room, and Murphy is wheeled in by another officer from the other doorway! Ronan fills Meggie in on Murphy communicating with Morse code. Heather tells her they know about her murdering Murphy's son and her other crimes. They mock her for making the mistake of going for one last score. Meggie pleads her innocence. Victor realizes that Meggie is the one who put Nikki off the wagon. Victor tells the others to get that trash out of there, and says he's going to see Nikki now.
