Last week House Republicans demanded that the Shumlin administration supplement a health reform report with information the lawmakers said was missing, but required.
House Republican Leader Don Turner of Milton said he would give the administration 15 days to provide its recommendations on how to pay for a government-financed health insurance system. The report that failed ti include this information estimated the amount that would need to be raised at $1.6 billion.
Secretary of Administration Jeb Spaulding has answered Turner's written request with a letter. Spaulding wrote, echoing what he had said on the day Turner publicized his demand, that the administration believes the report is as complete as it needs ti be, that circumstances changed in the past two years and it is no longer advisable to push ahead with financing proposals before have a conversation with the public about various options and the implications of using each.
Here's the letter.
Dear Representative Turner:
I am in receipt of your letter dated January 31, 2013, regarding the health care reform finance report submitted to the General Assembly on January 24, 2013. You can find a copy of that report at http://hcr.vermont.gov/library. I believe our report is consistent with Section 9 of Act 48 and the current thinking of the majority of legislators. No further amendment or addendum is required at this time.
The report documents, consistent with prior reports, that we can cover all Vermonters with a comprehensive benefit package and still save significant sums for our citizens. It demonstrates that we can save roughly half a billion dollars per year in a universal single payer system, compared to the health system without reform and that, when Green Mountain Care (GMC) is implemented, we can expect a $122 million reduction in administrative costs alone. The report also provides a menu of options for financing to facilitate the discussion moving forward.
The report also provides Vermonters with detailed information about how they pay for health care today. Today's "system" is fragmented, confusing, and is not transparent. The Administration believes it is critical for Vermonters to understand the health care status quo, in order to better understand the advantages that GMC will bring.
As you know, at the time Act 48 passed, the circumstances were different than they are today – two years later. In 2011, the President of the United States had included in his budget a change in federal law to allow states to seek a waiver from the Affordable Care Act in 2014. If this provision had been agreed to by Congress, Vermont could have proceeded with implementation of Green Mountain Care in 2014. This was the legislative context within which Act 48 was passed. Congress, however, did not act on this proposal and, as a result, current federal law does not allow Vermont to receive a waiver to implement Green Mountain Care until 2017.
Although those who do not favor moving to Green Mountain Care can be expected to raise criticisms along the way, the Administration is focused on ensuring the Legislature and all Vermonters have a thoughtful opportunity to discuss the potential impact of various financing sources on Vermont businesses and on the state's economy and economic climate. We will also provide a transparent process for soliciting public input when designing the financing plan for Green Mountain Care and will provide opportunities for public engagement.
While I firmly reject your assertion that our health care finance report requires amendment, the Administration welcomes your interest in the subject and hopes we can work together to implement a rational health care system that saves money and provides quality care for all Vermonters.
Jeb Spaulding,
Secretary Agency of Administration

Troopers: Vt couple's killer cut wrist, strangled selfBy RACHEL DORO
The Associated Press | December 06,2012
AP Photo / FBI This undated photo provided by the FBI shows Israel Keyes. Keyes committed suicide in an Alaska jailhouse Sunday, leaving behind an incomplete picture of a loner who traveled the country for more than a decade, picking victims at random and methodically killing them. Among them were Bill and Lorraine Currier, of Essex.ANCHORAGE, Alaska The man who confessed to killing a Vermont couple and other people across the country died in his jail cell after slashing one of his wrists and using bedding to strangle himself, Alaska State Troopers said Wednesday as tips came in on other possible victims.
The state medical examiner hasnt determined which of those injuries was the primary cause of Israel Keyes death.
Keyes, who was found dead in his Anchorage cell Sunday morning, had cut his left wrist with a blade from a disposable razor that was embedded in a pencil. He also used a rolled-up sheet to strangle himself, troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said.
It was not a hanging, she said.
There was no sign that anyone else was involved in the Anchorage mans death, troopers said.
Crumpled, blood-soaked papers that appeared to have writing on them also were found in the cell and have been turned over to the FBI. Eric Gonzalez, an FBI spokesman, said the papers have been sent to the agencys lab at Quantico, Va., for analysis.
The writing on the papers was illegible because of the blood, according to Ipsen, who said a pen or pencil was used.
Keyes was awaiting a March trial in the death of Samantha Koenig, 18.
Authorities say he abducted Koenig in February from the Anchorage coffee stand where she worked, then sexually assaulted and strangled her. Keyes then left Koenigs body in a shed outside his house while he went on a cruise.
Those details and others released Tuesday by the FBI provided the most comprehensive account yet of Koenigs death at the hands of a man who confessed to the slaying and told authorities he had killed at least seven other people in the past decade. They included Bill and Lorraine Currier, of Essex, Vt., who disappeared in June 2011.
The FBI said in a statement that it released the information both to fully explain the courage and resolve (Koenig) displayed in the final hours of her life, as well as in the hopes that the release of additional details will help investigations of other murders committed by Israel Keyes.
Gonzalez said Wednesday that tips were coming in from around the country about possible victims and Keyes sightings.
Once home from his cruise, Keyes tied up Koenig and posed her body to make it look like she was still alive. He then took a Polaroid of her with a newspaper dated Feb. 13 12 days after her abduction, according to the FBI.
Keyes made a photocopy of the picture and typed a ransom note on the back demanding $30,000 from Koenigs family. He then sent a text message to Koenigs boyfriend on her cellphone with directions to where hed left the note at a local dog park.
Keyes, 34, disposed of Koenigs remains in a frozen lake north of Anchorage after he cut a hole in the ice with a chain saw, authorities said.
He was arrested in March in Texas, after using Koenigs stolen debit card at ATMs there and in Alaska, Arizona and New Mexico.
After his arrest, Keyes confessed to killing Koenig and at least seven others. He told authorities he also sexually assaulted and strangled Lorraine Currier. The couples bodies have not been found.
Koenigs body was recovered from the lake in April after Keyes told authorities its location.
Keyes didnt identify his other victims or say where their remains were, other than to say four were killed in Washington state and one was killed on the East Coast, with the body disposed of in New York.
Keyes had lived in Washington state and had property in upstate New York. He traveled extensively in the U.S., landing at one location and targeting victims randomly hundreds of miles away, investigators said. He had never seen Koenig before but chose the coffee stand because of its location and because it stayed open later than other stands.
Keyes told authorities he robbed several banks and used money he made as a general contractor to pay for his travel.MORE IN Wire NewsJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Full StoryCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

May 7, 2007
The University of New Mexico men's golf team has been selected to participate in the 2007 NCAA West Regionals, announced by the NCAA Division I men's golf committee this afternoon. The 2007 NCAA West Regionals are hosted by Arizona State University and held at the ASU Karsten Course in Tempe, Ariz. Competition is set for May 17-19 and live scoring will be available via GoLobos.com.
New Mexico is seeded 17th out of 27 teams at the NCAA West Regionals. Only the top-10 squads from each Regional advance to the NCAA Championships. Three regional tournaments, encompassing the current nine sub-regions, will be conducted May 17-19. A total of 27 teams and six individuals not on selected teams were assigned to each regional site. Ten teams and two individuals not on advancing teams will move on from each regional to the championship finals. This will be the Lobos' second trip to the ASU Karsten Course this season. UNM finished eighth at the 16-team ASU Thunderbird Invitational on April 13-15. Senior Charlie Beljan led UNM with a career best 15-under total of 201 (66-67-68) to win the individual race. Sophomore Steve Saunders also had a solid showing, posting a 1-under 215 (71-67-77) to tie for 23rd.
The Lobos finished in sixth place at the 2007 Mountain West Conference Championships with Beljan taking home Player of the Year honors for the conference. Saunders was the highest-placing Lobo at the MWC Tournament, posting a 3-under 210 (73-68-69) to tie for fourth overall.
New Mexico is looking to get back to the NCAA Championships as a full team for the first time since the 2005 season. UNM qualified for the Regionals 2006, but after tying for 12th place, did not advance to the NCAAs last season. This year's NCAAs are hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University and held at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Va., on May 30- June 2.

Hip for the Holidays: Brendan Milburn '93's Alternative Musical "Striking 12" Hits the Big-Time in New York
In his hit musical Striking 12, currently playing off-Broadway, Brendan Milburn '93 is a cranky, burned-out New Yorker determined to spend New Year's Eve home alone. His plans for a solitary evening are foiled when he meets a quirky door-to-door saleswoman (played by Milburn's real-life spouse, Valerie Vigoda), who is hawking special light bulbs designed to ward off seasonal affective disorder.
The show itself seems to be having a similar mood-elevating effect on audiences and critics. Though Striking 12 features only three performers – Milburn, Vigoda and Gene Lewin – and the sparest of sets, the New York Times raved that "this modest show is more artfully crafted and engaging than virtually all the standard-mold musicals coming our way these days." Drawing in part on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl, the musical also offers a "terrific" score and lyrics "alive with wit and humor," writes reviewer Charles Isherwood.
With notices like that, Milburn rarely spends a night home alone these days. Milburn (vocals and keyboard), Vigoda (vocals and electric violin) and drummer Lewin form the rock-folk-jazz-pop trio GrooveLily. Along with their musical shows across the nation, they write and perform in their own unique form of musical theatre of which Striking 12 is typical. That show's nightly run at New York's Daryl Roth Theatre ends, fittingly, on Dec. 31.
In February, the trio will be arriving in Los Angeles to ramp up for another show they've been co-writing with Rachel Sheinkin, the Tony winner who they also teamed up with for Striking 12. Sleeping Beauty Wakes is a retelling of the fairy tale, set at a modern-day sleep disorder clinic. This joint production of Deaf West Theatre and the Center Theatre Group will feature deaf and hearing actors on stage, with GrooveLily as the live band providing voices to some of the parts played by deaf actors. "It's pretty wild and wonderful,'' Milburn says of the show opening March 31.
Wild and wonderful is an apt description of Milburn's career so far. He wrote his first musical as a high-school project, and he came to Pomona "with the vague idea of branching out academically--physics, philosophy, classics.'' But then came an opportunity to play piano for Theatre Professor Betty Bernhard's production of the Old West musical Gold Dust. "I never looked back," he says. In fact, Milburn wound up writing the music and lyrics for the first show, It's Just a Stage, performed in Pomona's then-new Seaver Theatre. "There was something kind of magical about the 'let's put on a show despite all setbacks' attitude among the cast and crew," he says. "And I can honestly say that I've never had quite so much fun in the theatre before or since."
He met Vigoda, a Princeton grad, while he was playing piano in bars to pay his way through grad school at New York University. Some friends came to see him one night and took him out afterward to see this woman with a violin play at a club. "I was hooked after the first song," he says. "We started writing together a week later, and we haven't stopped writing together since."
He joined the Valerie Vigoda Band, which eventually slimmed down from seven to three members and became GrooveLily. Along the way, in 1998, Milburn and Vigoda wed.
The idea for Striking 12 developed in 2001. GrooveLily had always had trouble lining up gigs in the lean November-to-January season, and Vigoda took a job as the concertmistress for the Tran-Siberian Orchestra, a multi-platinum-selling rock opera/holiday concert tour. Milburn got to thinking his trio could do this, too – make a concert with a story they could tour at all the venues they'd already played.
Friends put them in touch with writer Sheinkin (who won to the 2005 Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and she liked the idea of doing a show for a rock band. She hit upon Vigoda's song "Little Light" from GrooveLily's 2000 album of the same name, and it made her think of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl.
Then Director Ted Sperling saw a GrooveLily showcase, asked them if they had any musicals they were working on, and booked Striking 12 at the Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia before they had even started writing. "We wrote like mad, much of it while driving around the country," says Milburn, noting that GrooveLily played 150 shows that year.
About the writing process: It was either Milburn or Vigoda in the front seat of the van, going back and forth over lyrics, with Sheinkin participating by speaker phone. Or it was Milburn with the Casio on his lap and Sheinkin and Vigoda gathered around in their tiny living room every Tuesday night. "We were under tremendous time pressure for the original production, and if we didn't have a new scene and song once a week, we knew we would be behind," says Milburn. After the 2002 Philadelphia run, the band went on to perform Striking 12 at San Diego's Old Globe, TheatreWorks Palo Alto and Ars Nova, a small off-off Broadway venue in New York City. Each season, the GrooveLily trio has refined and added new touches to the production.
Milburn and Vigoda find working, writing and singing together is great fun – most of the time. But the inevitable career low points can be rough when both partners are fully immersed in the same work. Milburn says that both the band and their marriage were strained in 2001-2002 as they toured the U.S. and Canada in a used RV and were left "couch-hopping" after their vehicle broke down and they couldn't afford to repair it. Today, though, the pair are a bit more settled, raising their 14-month-old son, and living in a Brooklyn townhouse when not on the road. One of the upsides of their unusual career is that they can revel together in the artistic high points. As Milburn puts it: "Waking up and opening the paper to find that the New York Times has given your show an unqualified rave is something so sweet and uncertain and delicious--I am so glad to share it."

Michele Waslin: Immigration detention has been steadily increasing over the last two decades. A new report by Justice Strategies suggests this increase is largely due to the efforts of private prison companies.
Dollars and Detainees: Examining For-Profit Detention – August 15th
A recent report published by The Sentencing Project, Dollars and Detainees: The Growth of For-Profit Detention, details how harsher immigration enforcement and legislation led to a 59 percent increase in the number of detainees being held by the federal government between 2002 and 2011.

Reporter Discloses List Of 186 Secret Immigrant Detention Facilities
Andrea Christina Nill: According to a report published by Jacqueline Stevens in this week's The Nation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is confining an unknown number of people in 186 secret, unmarked, and unlisted subfield offices. Since the subfield offices are designed to hold detainees in transit, they are not subject to ICE Detention Standards. As a result, Stevens claims ICE has essentially been able to hold individuals charged with a civil infraction in "conditions approaching those no longer authorized for accused terrorists."

I bought the tropical flavour, and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted, couldn't mask it with anything, even the smell of the powder made me gag! So I binned that and got the unflavoured, add it to my protein shake and you cant tell the difference, or just add to a shot of water or bit of squash and it's really easy to take, it doesn't taste of anything. The unflavoured does also seem to mix quite well with a shake which is good. As for the effectiveness, it's always hard to tell as with all these things, but after a couple of weeks it seemed to "kick in", and I'm lifting way heavier than expected. Highly recommend this just to add to daily shakes, it's not expensive and as said the unflavoured is unnoticeable so you might as well. I'll stop after 8 weeks, but will definitely use again after my period off, and will NEVER EVER by a flavoured version again!!

Mixed with protien shake, works really well, finding myself with more energy throughout my full workout, recovery time is less, lifting has increased. Very impressed!!!!

Good cheap form of standard creatine. Usually mix 5g with apple juice pre-workout and 5g with whey post-workout, non-workout days I'll add 5g to the morning shake. Can give a salty texture if you don't use enough liquid, I mix with a milk frother instead of a spoon and does the job.Goes Well With:Apple Juice, Impact Whey/Casien

Good product, aids muscle growth and recovery time. My advice is to mix it with water in a glass and stir until fully dissolved (this will take 2-3 mins) as this product is not effective if not dissolved. Probably not the best idea to put this in your protein shake as you can't check if it's dissolved. I mix my unflavoured with water and it tastes like water. You could put squash in it after it's dissolved. Goes Well With:Water

Bought creatine for first time to try had unflavoured to mix with my whey and it mixes lovely no bad tastes not powdery also mixes great with squash or water can't say about the effects as only in first week so see what happens. Goes Well With:Protein shake, water or squash
The effectiveness of the product is undisputed, I made good progress with my muscle mass and workouts while using CMH from MyProtein. For the price, you really can't go wrong if you're building an intensive strength routine. I personally found that I retained/gained muscle weight even while on a cut. Now - a warning about the flavour. The first pouch I bought was I think tropical flavour.. the taste was so strong, artificial and overly sweet that even when one tiny scoop was mixed with 500ml of water, it was still almost unbearable and I think I choked it down only twice, with the help of a straw, before I had to order a pouch of unflavoured. It was seriously revolting. The unflavoured powder, however, has almost no taste when mixed with water (it lends a very, very slight bitter taste at the back of the tongue) but when you're gulping down water after a workout you won't really notice it. You could even mix it with your protein shake after your workout, all it does is slightly lessen the sweetness of the whey flavoured powder. Mixability - mixes well, but it needs to spend a good two minutes dissolving in the water to go from cloudy to clear. Goes Well With:Water, protein shake
got unflavoured creatine went really well with my protein shake didn't effect flavour atall 👍
Quite simply,it's a very effective product! Never been able to do more than 5 reps on chest bench press (incline/decline) with a 30 kgs dumbell! Now i am, great energy source Goes Well With:True whey protein
I have used MP Creatine on and off now for a few years, each time I go back to using Creatine I notice a significant difference in my workouts, especially with endurance, whether it's that extra 5 mins cardio or that extra rep. For a product that is so cheap and long lasting you may as well have it in your supplement cupboard, a 1kg bag lasts me quite some time, I usually take 4-5g after workout then 1-2g a bit later in evening/night. I read your muscles can be more effective taking on the creatine post-workout as they are more absorbent, same with protein...I gave it a try as usually I do pre-workout. I think post-workout is giving me better results but this could differ from person to person. Just sharing my personal opinion. I gave mix-ability 4/5 as sometimes it can sink after stirring, but swill the glass with water to get the rest from the bottom. Flavor 5/5 - I did not want to give it 1 as it does not taste bad, it tastes of nothing, so mix with juice or get flavored. I got unflavored.Goes Well With:Water/Juice I take with...but not in same mix...whey protein and BCAA
My last creatin became lumpy in the pouch, wouldn't mix in water & made me bloated. Plus it cost more! This stuff is great, I mix it with orange juice before the gym & put it in my post workout shake too. Tastes totally neutral!
Was running low on creatine so thought I'd give flavoured stuff a go. Wow! The berry blast is fantastic, it's so good I can have it out of the bag with a spoon. Which actually works out better because mixing it in a drink can leave quite a lot in the glass. 10/10 would recommend anyone considering this to get the berry blast, won't be disappointed. As far as the product goes, it's creatine monohydrate, it does what it says on the tin!Goes Well With:On it's own dry/ with water
Only been taking creating monohydrate for just over a week so haven't noticed a lot of difference yet but saying that my energy in the gym has increased i'm going to stick with it hopefully see more improvement in the coming weeks and months. I went for the Blue Rasberry flavour which is nice but a little on the sweet side, think next time I will go for the unflavoured and just mix it in with my whey protein as you only need such a little each day. Goes Well With:Water
I've been taking creatine monohydrate for several months now as an extra sup along with my whey protein (post workout), i try to take it around 20 minutes before a workout however taking it any time during the day works just fine. I take approx 7g a day and i get a noticable buzz from it, also i feel it gives a better pump after a session and therefore enhancing muscle growth in the long run. As far as flavours go, its always got that bitter sweet taste no matter which ones you try i find! but its only 150-250ml so just see it off! great value for money as well, the 1kg you can get 200 servings out of! Fantastic product from a fantastic company. I always wait for good discounts to come along, but thats probably just because im a poor student!
Works really well , easy to take ! Amount you need to to take is so small taste doesn't matter just stick in the mouth and chuck some water in. I use the yellow plastic cases from kinder eggs to carry each dose for work etc when loading ! Better than plastic bags and carrying the full bag
After a month of training with just Whey shakes, I decided to add Creatine into the mix. I take 10g Creatine per day on training days (5g of monohydrate with a morning shake then 5g included in the recommended serving of Hurricane XS for post workout) and just 5g mono on rest days. I train for 3 days per week, mostly free weights. The weight is approximate when using this powder, I use a standard heaped teaspoon. I have the unflavoured version. I haven't tried mixing with just water but when included with a chocolate Whey shake it doesn't alter the flavour at all. Timings are the same each time. Always 5g first thing in the morning with breakfast and on training days an additional 5g immediately post workout in the evening. It took 2 weeks to make a difference. After that period I noticed a bigger post-workout pump (I assume due to the water retention). Shoulders, chest and arms look fuller and more rounded post-workout. This could be placebo as this could be occurring because I'm actually getting bigger but the pump definitely feels 'different', more satisfying. My abs are also more pronounced, especially the 'V'. In terms of performance (the main reason I started using Creatine), I've noticed an increased weight ability but only for compound exercises, i.e. not curls. By far the biggest difference for me is Dumbbell shoulder press. I used to shoulder press 14KG dumbbells and remember trying 16KG but it was very difficult for me to lift them up to the start position. Now my explosive power has increased, allowing me to lift up 22KG dumbbells and I can push 6-8 reps with that. In terms of curls: I feel increased endurance and the ability to squeeze out an extra rep but not the ability to increase my standard set weight without substantially reducing reps. So in conclusion: A better post - workout pump and for me personally, heavier weight and improved power for compound exercises, especially Shoulder press. Goes Well With:Any liquid (unflavoured)
An essential supplement for anyone who's training, only issue I have is poor mix ability with water but fine in shakes. Goes Well With:Impact whey protein
I've been taking it for 2 weeks I already feel like I am heavier and begining to gain weight and also putting more muscle on and more than likely will purchase the product again once it runs out as it is great value.Goes Well With:Water
Price can't be beat on this product, especially when on offer. I take the standard 5g a day and I usually mix it with either a shake or with cereal on days I don't have a shake. For this reason I always get Unflavoured, no need to get a flavour unless you want to have this by itself. All in all it is definitly the best value for money Creatine Monohydrate available!Goes Well With:Weetabix/Protein Shake
Found this to effective in helping me build explosiveness on my big compound lifts. Mixes easily and could not taste it at all when mixed in with my impact whey protein Goes Well With:Impact whey protein Instant oats BCAA
Really impressed with the flavors grape and watermelon, mix really nicely and taste great. For how cheap this product is it really is great value and the best quality you can find for the price. Goes Well With:Water
It's perfect and mixes so we'll also is very pleasant unflavored and a great source! Will always be back for more, best protein site ever!
I've used this supplement before but the other wasn't as good as this it blends really well with no leftovers at the bottom and. Is a great value for money.
I got the raspberry flavoured one, it tastes great, mixes well and I feel like I get a much better workout when I take this before. Next time is probably get unflavoured so I can mix with my vanilla whey.
Trials have shown Creatine Monohydrate works, so you needn't take my word for it. Visit examine dot com and read all about it. You probably know this already, but just in case: Taking this supplement boosts the energy reserves of the muscle cells so that during hard exercise you have a little bit more in reserve. This allows you to push slightly heavier weights around and/or do more reps, hence the increased muscle mass. In other words, taking this stuff doesn't build muscle, but it makes it easier for you to work your muscles harder and so leads to increased muscle gain. Tip: if you are getting stomach trouble after drinking, or are fed up of stirring the stuff to get it to dissolve, try using warm water. I use stuff from the kettle that has cooled a little. Just an inch in the cup should be enough. Once it is dissolved (usually very quick) stir in enough cold water to make it easy to drink off in one go, and Bob's your uncle. The stuff is pretty stable to heat, melting at over 250°C so hot water won't hurt it.
This tastes good, compared to others I have in the past. Mixes well, only had a little creatine left in the bottom of my shaker. Creatine is creatine, does what it does. I had it to mmy post work out shake, My Protein Impact Whey Summer Fruits & they taste good togther. Good value for money.
I normally buy USN Creatine. Thought I'd try My Proteins. Put a scoop in cold tap water and left for 5 mins with a few shakes of the bottle now and then. For the first time ever 100% of the powder dissolved...I mean totally gone. So this means getting full usage, very impressed
What can I say apart from WOW. When I started using this I felt like I had so much energy and I could lift a lot more than without using this. Mixes easily into protein shake
Well researched product, definitely feeling more of a pump after each session, a bit early on to see any effects but allows you to work harder and push more in the gym, excited to see the big gains soon Goes Well With:Water, milk and a set of descent workout tunes 👌
Excellent product. Purchased Berry Blast, mixes well, tastes good and strength and size have increased. Does what it's supposed to. I weighed out the serving against scoops size and it appears two of the scoops that come with the creatine are one MP serving. Enjoy!
A fine powder mix which tastes fantastic and has none of that "powdery" taste to it like others. Easily mixed with the slim shaker for a quick supplement. Thoroughly recommended and price is very competetive. Goes Well With:Water!!
This is the first Creatine I bought and I am very pleased. The taste is great, the price is cheap and it's extremely effective. I would recommend it to all the athletes out there.
It does what it's meant to within a couple of weeks i was able to complete sets I wasn't able to before aswell as feeling stronger for the rest of the workoutGoes Well With:Impact whey chocolate mint
trying it for first time, wasn't sure if i'd like it or get on with it but results are great after 3 weeks of mixing with a protein mix. very happy!Goes Well With:Protein shake
Ordered Berry Blast despite some of the reviews previously posted about unflavoured being the best option. It maybe a bit too sweet for some people but I found it better than most other flavoured creatine I've tried. I've been taking this product for around 4 weeks and I have found my performance has improved greatly. It has helped to maintain intensity when training despite being at a caloric deficit. Great product, I highly recommend it!Goes Well With:water.
First off, i have had very good results using this. It took about a week but i found i could work harder for longer which greatly effected the results of working out. Its very cheap and i highly recommend it. I buy the unflavoured version and just mix it in with my protein shake, a glass of juice or just water. If you are on the fence about trying this, just do it, you have nothing to lose and good gains to make (if you put the work in). Goes Well With:Protein shake, juice, water.
No need to review creatine - there's loads of info on how effective it is. I've been taking it for 3 months, along with doing a new, much heavier and higher volume program and I've definitely made really good gains. Previously had the berry blast which was ok, weirdly floral taste. Raspberry lemonade is a more challenging flavour to get down, but it's ok. If you can mix it with something acidic, like citrulline malate (or I guess lime/lemon juice) it's much better. Mixes well in water.
Since taking creatine I've noticed a boost in my running. Though I still stick to my same running times, I run at a faster and more constant speed throughout my run (measured using the 'Runtastic' application) Purchased unflavoured and have no complaints about the flavour. I mix it with water and have absolutely no problem with mixability or taste Goes Well With:Doesn't really have a taste so pretty much everything
I bought the Tropical Storm flavour and I have only used it 3 times. Each time I have taken it i have felt sick during my workout.. And still felt sick 2 hours after taking it. I don't know if it is just this flavour but it certainly isn't for me!
I have previously tried muscleform's creatine in the past and it worked but it felt as if I was drinking grains of sand! However the myprotein creatine is great! It mixes great in water and goes great with the myprotein whey :) very happy customer Goes Well With:Natural chocolate whey
Great value creatine! Nothing more, nothing less.
Been taking this one scoop only with water before my workout goes great with water you feel a big change within the lifting and a lot more energy five star rating I'll give this :))Goes Well With:Water
I have found that whilst using creatine that the last push for a couple more reps of a set and there is energy there. I feel gains in strength and size. Does exactly what it says. Goes Well With:Protein shake.
Awesome product, it does mix very good.. Micronized, indeed its micronized, its like dust :) I know its individual, but i get a significant strength increase when im on creatine. Im buying from you guys from now on. Goes Well With:Glas of water, milk, protein shakes and so on
Very happy with this product and a price you cant beat, have 5g in the morning, mix with post workout shake 5g plus Maltodextrin and impact whey, 5g before bed and had fantastic results. Thanks again MP for a quality product.Goes Well With:Impact whey, Maltodextrin, BCAA.
I have bought two different flavours, the first one was blue raspberry, it was too sweet. I couldn't drink it, it was really really sweet. Then I bought the unflavoured version and it was much better. Good mixture and effect. I normally drink it with orange juice or just water. Going to buy again when i'm empty. NOTE: DONT buy the blue raspberry flavoured creatine unless you are really sure you like the sweet taste. Goes Well With:Water, juice. My mouth
This product is realllly good. Does what it has to do, Unflavoured has no taste and can be mixed easily with any drink without giving any bad after taste. I recommend this product because it improve the performance.Goes Well With:Water, any juice, Impact whey, bcaa
Definitely recommend the powder over pills. After taking for 8 weeks have noticed a lot of growth in muscles. Very good and effective when stuck to strictly and drink a lot of water. Taking with whey protein and thermopureGoes Well With:Whey protein, thermopure
I would have enjoyed this product a lot more if the package that it came in didn't break open ! The zips broke of within a week, it's happened to three product iv ordered with myprotein. Unhappy customer.
It mixes really well and works great
Came damaged and kindly got sent a new one. Tats is good can be a little sweet but easyily solved by having it with a lower volume of water.

Great blister and sun protection, but the palms "pill" quickly. I like these fingerless gloves a lot, but I'm not sure I will buy another pair when these wear out. They do keep my hands from getting blistered, and the fingerless design allows for good digital dexterity. However, I don't like that the material on the palms is white—after one use they looked pretty grubby, and the suede was "pilling" (like a sweater). On hot days, it is nice to wear these because you can dip your hands in the… Full review
HydroSkin Pant
Very comfortable paddling pants, silky-smooth, with no annoying seams. I love my Hydroskin pants! They wick moisture from the body and dry quickly. I have worn them both in early spring (when the ocean is VERY cold) and throughout the summer, and have noticed that they adapt quite adeptly to a variety of conditions. I also really like the wide waistband and that they ride a little higher (but not TOO high—not "mom-jeans" high) so they don't ride up when I'm sitting or climbing around on island… Full review
HydroSilk Shirt L/S
Form and function combine to make a great rash guard/paddling top—plus it looks cute! Silky-soft material with no bothersome seams. The Hydrosilk shirt is very fitted, but not in an unflattering way. It is longish in the torso, which is nice. I wear mine on many of my paddling outings and have never been bothered by seams chafing, despite hours of repetitive movement! I have noticed that it is great at wicking sweat away from the skin, but it doesn't dry very quickly when it's wet from elsewear… Full review

I have used NRS bags for twenty years, guiding on whitewater rivers my own gear is transported in these. Great product, simple features and great value. Perfect, as there is a size for every purpose or every need. From weekend canoe trip, to long term challenging river expeditions. Purchase several sizes of uses of first aid kit, toiletries, foul weather clothing and gear. Great for an automobile emergency kit with blankets or cold weather clothing. Full review

Current Position:
Research Professor, Bioethics
I serve as a research professor in the Department of Psychology, and as the Director of the National Rural Bioethics Project. I have formal interdisciplinary training and practical experience in health sciences research, social science methodology, bioethics, values development, and public policy. In addition to these academic areas of interest, I have more than 30 years of project management experience that includes the development and evaluation of health, education, and social service initiatives in rural communities throughout the West. I have served as the principal investigator for interdisciplinary research studies that have been supported by the Culpeper/Rockefeller Foundation, the Greenwall Foundation, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, and the National Science Foundation. With respect to teaching activities, I have served as faculty for the Davidson Honors College, the Master in Public Health Program, and as a research and training mentor for junior faculty. I have also also served as visiting faculty for Native American education programs such as BRIDGES and Montana Health Careers Opportunity Program (MHCOP), and as a mentor for Native American graduate students. I routinely serve on various NIH study sections. Past research activities have supported collaborations within the University of Montana, with other universities, with rural communities and with Indian Health Services. Recent research studies have focused on ethical issues and patient safety issues that develop in rural communities, ethical issues that develop in environmentally damaged rural communities, and ethical issues that emerge when making decisions about approving and participating in clinical research studies.
Office Hours:
Upon appointment
Research Interests:
Research that advances our scientific, engineering, biomedical, and technological knowledge often requires the participation of human subjects. Conducting such research in an ethical manner requires both a rigorous oversight system and ethically attuned scientists. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) were created to optimize protection of human subjects in accordance with the tenets outlined in the Belmont Report and codified in the Common Rule. Researchers are expected to be knowledgeable about the ethical principles that govern human subject research and adhere to those principles in the research they undertake. When researchers submit their research proposals to the IRBs they are expected to describe their research protocols, identify risks and benefits, and provide any information that could pose ethical threats to the research participants. Ideally, the combination of morally courageous IRBs, ethically attuned scientists, and informed participants will optimize the protection of human subjects.
Through funding support from the National Science Foundation my colleague, Dr. Hoas, and I are exploring the perspectives of IRB members and research participants regarding the ethical norms of research including the protection of human subjects. Findings from this study will shed light on how these ethical norms influence decisions about what information researchers disclose to IRBs when seeking approval, how that information influences the IRB approval process, and what information is conveyed to research participants during the consent process. The study is further exploring how persons make decisions about participating or declining opportunities to participate when invited to join research studies.

Customers Want iPhones Not Competitors
The results of a new poll have just been released and the answer is clear—consumers are both extremely pleased by their iPhones and want one to be their next smartphone purchase. Changewave Research, a market research firm, conducted a survey of 4,028 respondents during the week leading up to the first day of the new iPhone 4's release. As a result, the poll does not include iPhone 4 owners and was not influenced by the as then yet undiscovered reception issues on the phone.
The outcome of the survey was blunt. 73% of respondents who current own an iPhone rate their experience with it as "very satisfying." This was in stark contrast to the mere 30% of the respondents who owned a BlackBerry and rated their experience as "very satisfying." An enormous gap even when you do not figure in the fact that AT&T with its sometimes spotty network is the exclusive carrier, or ignore that Apple runs a practical monopoly over what content is allowed onto the device.
What is even more telling though is the fact that of the consumers who were planning on purchasing a smartphone in the next 90 days, 52% said that it would be an iPhone. An HTC Android OS powered device? 19%. A Motorola device running Android? 9%. Those who were opting for a BlackBerry? Only 6%. A tremendous fall for the once mighty Research In Motion (RIM).
This all ties into the strongest of all the numbers: BlackBerrys fell into a tie with iPhones for smartphone market share at 34% apiece. This is ahead of the iPhone 4 launch and a possible sign that it is sink or swim over at RIM. Marketwatch even ran a story stating that "the BlackBerry is dying" and this is the hard proof for what everyone has suspected all along. It looks like consumers want iPhones right now and not what most of Apple's competitors are offering.
Are you pleased with your smartphone?
Planning on getting a new one soon?
Sound off and tell us what you think of your current phone and how it will influence your decision for the next one.Apple, iPhone, apple iphone 4

Strawberries are red, stems are green...
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
You may have noticed today's Google Doodle on our homepage in celebration of romance and good food (something we consider extremely important).
When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that "Googe" has a better ring to it. None of the above. I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately. And if you're feeling grouchy today, may I suggest eating a strawberry.
A very happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

Game Party Champions, a game of skill from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, will be a launch title for the Nintendo Wii U. The latest iteration of the company's Game Party franchise, the game offers players new ways to compete in arcade, sports and party games.
With the Wii U GamePad, intuitive motions control the gameplay giving players of all skill levels a fun experience. Rendered in eye-catching HD graphics, the game lets players can compete in classic games such as ping pong and skill ball, and modern favourites such as table hockey and hoop shoot.
"Developed specifically for Wii U, Game Party Champions has a fun, pick up-and-play style that experienced and novice gamers will equally enjoy," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Players can tilt, turn and swipe the Wii U's revolutionary touch screen controller to play in entirely new ways."
The game will offer three game modes: Quick Play, Story Mode, and Party Mode. Players who are hungry for instant action can pick any game and start playing in Quick Play. In Story Mode, players try to outplay each other to prove they're worthy of the "World Champion" title. Players of Party Mode can see if they are champions by taking their turns with the Wii U GamePad, while the others use Wii Remote controllers to grief (wreak havoc) on their game. Players then spin a wheel to see what game they'll play next.
The game is being developed by Phosphor Games.

RASC Hamilton Centre—1932 EclipseScanned by Colin Haig These slides are from the August 31st, 1932 solar eclipse expedition in Acton Vale, Quebec. There was an 8mm film that somebody (no idea who) transferred key frames to 35mm slides. I am not sure when actually that transfer was done or when the slides were developed. I scanned these (2006-02-11 through 2006-04-06) using a NIKON Coolscan V ED at highest resolution.

The clouds again close in until near totality when the next sight is obtained.

Winterfest features all things Boy Scout
Around 3,000 people from about 15 states gathered at the Gatlinburg Convention Center this weekend for the 39th annual Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Winterfest.
The event, sponsored by the BSA Northeast Georgia Council, is the largest Venturing and Exploring event in the nation, and third largest annual scouting event in the nation, said Susie Ryan, development director for the Northeast Georgia Council.
"It takes a lot of coordination, and probably close to 300 volunteers to staff this event," Ryan said.
Venturing is a coed program of BSA that allows members from ages 14-21 to prepare for responsible adulthood through activities and programs centered on a specific focus, like the outdoors or religious life.
Exploring is a coed teen program in the Learning for Life subsidiary of BSA. It places teenagers in clubs called posts, which teach the teens about possible careers, like law enforcement or firefighting, while building friendships through activities.
During Winterfest, Venturing and Exploring posts gather in Gatlinburg for some friendly competition. Most of the action takes place on Saturday, with registration, briefing and opening programs Friday, and skiing from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
There are a total of 62 competitions and events, including firefighting events, law enforcement events, sporting events, shooting events, among many others.
Members of firefighting posts could be seen stuffing dummies through large pipes during a timed obstacle course. Others were seen swinging from ropes during rappelling competitions.
"The events, a lot of it coincides with their own professional training," Scout executive Trip Selman said. "So like fire academy, police academy, their events coincide with their professional training."
There was also a talent show and recognition portion for those who won the competitions, as well as a dance from 8:30 p.m. to midnight in the convention center ballroom Saturday.
BSA has been in a hot topic in the media recently, relating to the possibility that the organization might repeal its policy that prohibits gays from participating. Selman said all the attention has not affected Winterfest in any significant way.
"People ask," Selman said. "Any time scouting's in the news nationally, people will ask. But at this point, northing's been decided so most everybody just sort of asks if we'll know. But it hasn't been an issue."

Flooding in low lying areas after a hard afternoon storm brought heavy rain Saturday in the JC Area. Flooding at Montgomery St and King St. (Tony Duncan/Johnson City Press)
Far from its days as a J.C. Penney department store, the open space next to Hands On! Regional Museum in downtown Johnson City was temporarily transformed into a boxing arena Saturday night complete with a ring, judges, referees and spectators for the 1st annual "Jazz" Akins Memorial Box-Off during the 17th annual Umoja Festival.
But before the boxers squared off in their respective bouts, Mother Nature delivered an upper cut of her own to Johnson City and the surrounding area Saturday in the form of a severe thunderstorm that left behind many flooded roads, but no reports of serious damage.
Inside the Penney building, the crowd intently watched different sets of boxers –– ages 8-36 –– throw jabs in the ring from their chairs, coaches near the ropes shouted instructions to their pupils.
One-by-one bouts were scored and winners were announced and given medals for participating.
Jessica Townsend, of Elizabethton, was at the box-off Saturday watching her friend's kids compete and said she was enjoying the event.
"It's just fun and I enjoy watching it. I used to kickbox myself and I actually trained for MMA until I had my daughter," Townsend said. "They're a good set of kids locally. They put their heart and soul in it and train every day and do the best that they can."
Townsend said she likes the idea of having a boxing event at the Umoja Festival.
"I think it's something good. A lot of people have showed up for it," Townsend said. "I come to Umoja every year. I've been coming for the past five years and ... I love coming down here. It's really enjoyable."
Roger Hensley, box-off coordinator and owner and coach at F.N.O Boxing & Fitness, said during intermission that the event was going well.
"(I'm) very pleased," Hensley said. "It's gratifying to see the people that turned out, not only for the boxing, but to honor Jazz. He was a great man. This is what he wanted. He wanted boxing at Umoja."
He said even with the heavy rain that fell on the festival grounds earlier, the box-off was off to good start with 25 fights and said he hopes it continues to grow.
"Next year I hope it gets big enough to where I can move it outside and I can let ... everybody ... enjoy the festivities and to show what these kids can do," Hensley said.
Ralph Davis, Umoja Festival chairman, said the festival got off to a great start Saturday, with the biggest parade in festival history.
"It was just a fantastic parade," Davis said. "Then the rains came and kind of put a damper on everything."
Around 3 p.m., the severe thunderstorm moved through the festival grounds, blowing over some vendor tables and tents, as participants scattered for cover from the rain underneath building overhangs and inside downtown businesses and restaurants.
The heavy rain in downtown Johnson City quickly escalated to high standing water and flooding on roadways. Johnson City police and fire personnel were helping secure and block off impassable roads at flooded areas, which included parts of South Commerce, Boone and Market streets.
Other flooding in Johnson City was reported at Science Hill High School's football stadium, as well as the flood prone area of East Brook Lane near Cobb Creek off Oakland Avenue.
Washington County/Johnson City dispatchers said flooding was widespread and that they had a few cars get stalled in the high water. No water rescues were reported.
Jonesborough dispatchers said during the height of the rain storm that there were reports of roadway flooding, which included the Walnut Grove subdivision, as well as the 1200 block of West Jackson Boulevard. They said the flooding didn't last long and roads were back to normal Saturday evening.
Elizabethton and Carter and Johnson counties reported having rain, but nothing too severe.
Unicoi County dispatchers said a tree had blown down when the heavy rain started, but did not have any other weather-related reports. Greene County had no reports of rain.
Jessica Winton, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Morristown, said Saturday's rain was the result of a front stalling over the region.
"The storms that we've had over the past week ... have had a lot of rain in them," Winton said. "The way that the flow's setup, there's a lot of moisture in there anyway. We've had rainfall amounts around 2-3 inches every day. This storm that actually moved over Johnson City was around 2 and a half inches on our radar."
She said the front is expected to stall again before moving back west and said that will produce more rain for the region.
Even with the heavy rain, the Umoja Festival was only temporarily delayed and was able to start again later Saturday evening.
"People are coming back," Davis said around 7 p.m. "We lost two or three tents during the rain storm and a couple of vendors lost ... merchandise. We didn't have anybody get hurt or anything, so that's the main thing."
He said as far as entertainment, they were only thrown off schedule a little bit and said the main attractions were still scheduled to go on.
Davis said he's been with the Umoja Festival from the very beginning and said the festival is "a dream come true, but it is also a work in progress, because we always feel that we've got work to do to make it better. Don't forget us next year, because we'll be coming back."

Below is the poem entitled The Universe Will Do which was written by poet
DINKI. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Joe DINKI
What do I ask of thee divine?
A semblance of value?
A frequency some say,
a simple cue of when to
start to ask my soul's
It was ill timed at the reception,
their mirrors sucked me in,
my teeth were loose,
to spite the smile on my face..
But Still, I ran my tongue along the
middle class facade;
they billet now
the forces true,
and set the spirit high..
a valid stance took eye,
a scout for God's sweet envy,
squinting hard as flint,
A spark,
this night to set a sequence free
a promise all to see,
for what we breathe and used to be,
for what we seek to know,
for what we wish were true,
for what we hold within our arms,
the Universe will do…

Bali Safari and Marine Park
You may recall from my last post that one of the top tips when traveling with children is to plan fun and engaging activities to occupy them. The third day of our Bali vacation saw us rising early to get a quick breakfast before catching a shuttle bus for an hour-long journey to the Bali Safari and Marine Park.
Combining Balinese cultural ambience with African Savannah, Bali Safari and Marine Park is home to hundreds of amazing animals representing more than 50 species, including some rare and endangered species. The park, which features the Sumatran elephants, Sumatran tigers, white tigers, leopards, komodo dragons and cheetahs, is officially designated as a wildlife conservation park, dedicated towards preserving endangered species through education and research programs coordinating with other zoological institutions around the world.
Hopped onto the safari bus and went for a 30-minute safari tour where some animals came right up to us, even the lions and tigers!
After the close encounter with the wild, we wrapped up the hot day by cooling off the heat in the waterpark.

Brinda is released by Swathi Soft Solutions.Brinda did not ecourage her concert recordings to be released commercially as long as she was alive but the rich music of Brinda and the authentic style of Vina Dhanammal need to be introduced to the younger generation and so this release say Swathi Soft solutions.This set of audio album consists of the bests of T. Brinda's chamber concerts and a few recordings at private gatherings. "Vegavahini Vijayaraghavan, daughter and disciple of T. Brinda holds the copyright of all the recordings and she too wanted to give the recordings to Swathi after she heard the audio CDs of Ramnad Krishnan," says Mala. The audio quality of raw recordings were carefully enhanced retaining the original tone and brought out in the albums, she added.Each audio CD is priced at Rs. 150.Another set of seven DVDs released by them during this season is Mridanga Cintamanih in which Umayalpuram Sivaraman has rendered rhythmic lessons in mridangam. "These CDs are not just for the learners. They are also useful for the musicians who want to more on the laya aspects," say the producers of the album.The set of the seven DVDs cost Rs. 4050.http://www.kutcheribuzz.com/decseason2008/news13.asp

Baccarat Toro Reviews
write your own review
Fairly new to really discerning what makes a good cigar in all areas, but really enjoyable smoke. Nice draw and taste throughout and finish was was excellent!
Nice draw. Nice Ash. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Although I smoke many other brands this cigar is a favorite for a relaxing easy smoke. The smell is good and the sweet taste makes for a different experience. I recommend them. For the price they are a bargain.
I received this cigar within a sample pack of cigars that I ordered because I am just getting into cigars. I ordered this one again because of the sweetness of the cigar. I tried to buy it at my local cigar shop in the interim and was disappointed because it was hard to draw and wasn't as sweet. When I received the new batch from the website I was relieved because the draw and burn was excellent and it had that sweetness that I remembered and was so fond of. They are obviously fresher from the website.
Fairly new to really discerning what makes a good cigar in all areas, but really enjoyable smoke. Nice draw and taste throughout and finish was was excellent!
This is a great cigar. Lovely even burn, mild taste with a nice sweet finish. well constructed too. I recommend to any smoker!
the toro is a grat cigar wont smoke anything else!
Very good smoke. Lightly nutty, sometimes buttery taste and smell. Good draw, very enjoyable.
I'm a new cigar smoker and found the best for me right away. The Bacarat was very mild and tastey. A good hour smoke and smooth the whole time. I found peppermint schnapps a perfect combination. Cheers!
Nice sweetened tip helps to add some flavor to the smoke. Good mild tobacco flavors and a slight pepper finish. Not crazy complexity, but still keeps you going back for another draw :). At this price point it was better than expected. Like the other reviewers have said, construction was very good. The draw was nice and easy. And the volume of smoke was massive. I'd put it at an 85 overall.
A great smoke! The draw, burn, taste and mild perfection of the Toro is hard to beat...especially at the price! Always get great compliment's when I share one with one of my friends...they become converts. Highly recommend!
Really nice smoke......every cigar in the box is RELIABLY like the last one.....smooth easy draw and taste, good burn, looks good, holds together well throughout the length and until last puff. Have been smoking for several months after giving up on the Gispert inconsistent draws, and have yet to find a bad cigar.

Get Organized Now
Getting Organized on a Budget
Getting organized does not have to be an expensive task. You may think that you have to go out and purchase all sorts of organizing baskets, bins, holders and cabinets. In other words, you may think you have to spend lots of money to lead an organized life. More...
But, the truth is, organizing is a PROCESS, not a PRODUCT. It takes skill, application and motivation. And yes, tools certainly help--but there are many frugal ways of getting and staying organized, without breaking the bank.
