Wasn't sure what to expect, but very pleased with the quality of the product.
I love the thick recycled glass for iced drinks! Wish I could have found them in the store and didn't have to order them online but just happy to order a couple more.
I bought 4 of these for a gift and now I need to buy them again because I am in love with these glasses! A must buy!
Edge has a roughness that almost feels sharp. Not a smooth surface when you want to drink from the cup. I have resorted to using a straw with it and not drink directly from it.
So appealing: the large, 18 0z .size, the "vintage" green of the glass, the nice weight in your hand, and an Americana feeling about them. Recycled? That's great. It would be nice, as I just see that they are made in Spain, if they were manufactured in the US. Didn't Starbucks start in Seattle, and become an empire in the US, first? Anyway, we really like these glasses. You will, too!
The glasses are a great size. I love the color, the simple Starbuck's logo, and clean design. My only dislike is that the inside edge of the glass is a blunt edge that is rough on your lip when you drink directly from the glass. It is completely tolerable, it will just take a little adjusting to get use to. the first couple of drinks you are surprised by the edge of the glass.
Originally bought this tumbler to mix my morning protein shake in. Now I own 8! They are sturdy and wash beautifully. These tumblers are, of course, for cold drinks and will not crack. My family uses them daily and they are quality!
Thicker than normal glasses sold today. These glasses are perfectly weighted IMHO. These are my MAIN glasses and I carry them everywhere, even in the car and to the doctors! I have put these glasses TO THE TEST and they have passed with flying colors! Other glasses sold today do NOT hold up like these glasses have! I want to buy more because IF I ever break one I'll be sick-that is how much I love these glasses!
Great glasses! Like them a lot although I wish I had understood before ordering that they were for cold beverages only.
Still for what they are they are grand!
I got this for a gift---it's a great-looking tumbler.

text: WHEN CENK SONMEZSOY, MBA '00, graduated from USF, he had no idea he would one day be running a blog devoted to showcasing his experiences with cooking and baking. After all, most of Sonmezsoy's culinary experience had centered on omelets and pastas cooked on a shared dorm room stove top.But Sonmezsoy was so intrigued by food, writing, and photography that he decided to combine the three into Café Fernando (www.cafefernando.com). Written in both English and Turkish and laced with photos of his kitchen creations, Café Fernando has been voted best blog in Sonmezsoy's native Turkey and has been featured in food and travel sections in The New York Times, Washington Post, and San Francisco Chronicle. It has also attracted the attention of noted food writers and bakers, including pastry expert Nick Malgieri.Growing up in Istanbul, Sonmezsoy was surrounded by an assortment of great Turkish cuisine, but he never appreciated it. Not until he lived in San Francisco while attending graduate school at USF did he discover how much he enjoyed food."During my MBA years, I was living on a tight budget," Sonmezsoy said. "The beauty of San Francisco is that you can still have great food without burning a hole in your pocket." He credits the city with opening his eyes to food from other cultures, including those of India and China, which he now often tries to fuse with Turkish food.Getting to that point, however, has taken work. Before starting his blog about 2 1/2 years ago, Sonmezsoy pored over cookbooks, hassled his mother into sharing family recipes, and experimented in the kitchen. His blog features the results of his culinary adventures, whether they involve his twists on traditional Turkish food or making bagels for the first time. He also includes recipes, a how-to section, restaurant and market reviews, as well as posts about recent food discoveries. Sonmezsoy's vivid pictures of local produce and savory meals along with easy recipes and clear, concise writing have helped develop a large fan base of loyal readers. They regularly comment on his blog postings, offering suggestions, memories triggered by the recipes, and sometimes just simple phrases like "yum" and "wow."Though his blog is receiving great recognition as a culinary guide, Sonmezsoy does not have plans to write a book or open a restaurant. For now, he works at his family's advertising firm in Turkey and happily updates his blog in his spare time."Blogging has opened so many doors for me. I have met with authors whose books I admire…and had the chance to see my recipes and photos published at the most prestigious newspapers in America," Sonmezsoy said. "All these things have shown me that once you find something you care for deeply and spend every minute of your waking hours trying to be better at it, good things will follow."

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has said that he thinks consumers' growing dependency on cloud computing will lead to 'horrible problems'.
Speaking to an audience in Washingston this week, Wozniak said, "I really worry about everything going to the cloud. I think it's going to be horrendous. I think there are going to be a lot of horrible problems in the next five years."
Wozniak, also highlight the issue of data ownership and uploading files to a third-party service. "With the cloud, you don't own anything. You already signed it away," he said. "I want to feel that I own things. A lot of people feel, 'Oh, everything is really on my computer,' but I say the more we transfer everything onto the web, onto the cloud, the less we're going to have control over it."
Wozniak made the comments during an on-stage discussion with performer, Mike Daisey, after a staging of his show 'The Agony and Ecstacy of Steve Jobs' in Washington, which addresses labour conditions in Apple manufacturing plants in China.
Wozniak's concerns about Cloud computing echo a story this week, in which Wired tech journalist, Mat Honan, blamed Apple's tech support for allowing a hacker to breach his iCloud account through social engineering. The hacker then wiped Honan's iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air devices and took control of his Gmail and Twitter accounts.

I called them to make an appointment as it was by appointment only. I chose the nearest Clinique counter to me that's offering this promotion, that was in Parkson KLCC.
When I got there, the SA handed me a form/questionaire to fill up. And needless to say, after filling up the questionaire, I AM a makeup FANATIC! Yay! That means I would get the pink makeup pouch with the High Impact Mascara on one end and Full Potential Lip Plump and Shine in Double Plum on the other end.
The SA was soft-spoken and a girl with very few words. So she just chose a purple eyeshadow quad...err, I don't remember the name of it. OK, and I was blur too. I didn't take photos of the cosmetics used. But I found the pix of the purple eyeshadow quad online.
Image taken from www.beautive.com
Thank you.
This palette costs RM105 at the Clinique counters.
But a freebieholic like me just couldn't resist an offer of freebies and a free makeover too!
OK, so here's me after the makeover.
At first, I thought the eye makeup was a bit too 'strong' making me look very fierce, but it turned out quite OK in the photo. Even my aunt liked it.
And for being a Makeup Fanatic, I got this (see photos below). Really, there was no purchase necessary. After she finished making up for me, she just went over to the drawer, got out the pink pouch and the mascara-lip gloss duo for me. Unlike some other brands where they said no purchase necessary but in the end, they'll subtlely try to persuade you to purchase something.
Yay to freebies and Yay to makeup fanatics! :)))

I don't think anyone was denying it was Joe paterno, but it is curious that he is the only person mentioned by name in the leaked emails, which CNN does not in fact possess, and only portions of 4 emails were read to CNN out of context, and ANOTHER leaker has said the original leak was completely out of context and there is no "there" there. You guys act like these are known facts.
I wouldn't call you a liar. A hypocrite maybe.
"something else about somebody" is clearly incriminating. I cannot believe they didn't slap the cuffs on Paterno right then and there!
why did Corbett ask you to publish this editorial? Because his polls are tanking? because people are starting to question his role in the Sandusky scandal? Funny how the moment people start asking about why Second Mile has avoided prosecution, and what Corbett's role in all this is . . . there are email leaks to cast further aspersions on Paterno, and a lackey-fueled editorial. What is Corbett afraid of us finding out?
let's look at the "Kay Schmid/nycvirago" way of thinking:
Paterno MUST have know about the 1998 investigation into JS because he controlled everything about the football program and knew when a player got a speeding ticket. I will not believe he did not know unless there is definitive proof that he did not know. Even though the one person (Don Van Natta) who spent 3 months in State College researching the issue found no evidence or suggestion Paterno was aware of the 1998 investigation. Even though the police investigator in 1998 said there was no way Paterno would have been informed of the investigation. That is NOT conclusive proof Paterno DID NOT know therefore he MUST have known!
Penn State football is the problem and there was a clear lack on institutional control under Paterno and they deserve the death penalty from the NCAA! Even though a man who was on the NCAA infractions committee for 9 years, and chaired the committee for 2 of those years, says there is no precedent or jurisdiction for them to institute the death penalty. Therefore PSU MUST get the death penalty!
See how it works?
the mere mention of the name "Joe" in an email taken out of context was enough to get pavlov's puppies salivating. I have no faith in your objectivity, nor of Freeh's objectivity.
as for your relentless campaign of ignorance nycvirago, I offer you this: there is far more proof the freeh investigation has been biased and compromised, than there is Joe did anything knowingly complicit in crimes against children.
Freeh was hired only to justify the BoT's rush to judgment to fire Paterno. The leaks were slective to cast an air of impropriety because no impropriety actually existed. There are only tangential references to "Joe" to get the ignorant sports writers to huff and puff and try to see who has more outrage over and issue they could care less about.
Wake up kiddies, there is no smoking gun here. Freeh probably interviewed Vicky Triponey a couple dozen times so she could put the BoT on the bus they've been backing over Paterno for the last 9 months. There is no email, phone call, note in his appointment book that implicates Joe in anything. Just a lot of second guessing, conspiracy theories, and innuendo. Which is why they focused the investigation on the football program so they could troll through hundreds of interviews hoping to catch SOMETHING that MAYBE could be sold to the ignorant public that says JOE WAS A BAD BAD MAN.
dsicoach2 has it right, the Bot had bullet points for Freeh they wanted filled with any suspicious details. There was no investigation, and the real criminal conspirators will walk free.
you are out of line, sir. Trashing Paterno with crazy conspiracy theories is literally ALL these bashers and haters have in their lives right. As evidenced by the endless hours they spend casting aspersions online with no facts or evidence to support their assertions. Please do not take that away from them with common sense and attachment to reality. You will put a good many people like Dan Wetzel and Dan bernstein out of work. Can you, in good conscience, take food off their family's tables by dispelling the fantasies that sign their paychecks??
your screen name speaks volumes about the credibility of your opinions
all I know is Bob Flounders clearly don't know Joe . . .
so how many of these anonymous posters are on the Governor's payroll? And is Jones shilling for a press corps job, or just makes things up to fill the down time on his Saturdays?
this story reminds me of that REO Speedwagon song . . . heard it from a friend who . . . heard it from a friend who . . . heard it from somebody else . . .
anna, stop lying . . . you didn't "think" for a second . . .
I learned critical thinking at PSU, and how the media manipulates information to stir up ratings. What did you learn?
Can we all stop looking like fools and quit defending the BoT? Thank you Joe for at least giving 61 years of service to Penn State, unlike the wannabes and hangers-on who continue to disgrace the students, alumni, and faculty of Penn State
who leaked the emails to CNN? Clearly their intent was to get a gang of rabid, reactionary, Paterno-hating pitchfork weidling citizens to inundate the message boards with their fake outrage and condemnation. Well done, kids. Guess what, you are not the moral bastions of society. You are the mindless OX BOW gang. No wonder Republicans like Corbett want to remove critical thinking from educational curriculum . . . this experiment in fomenting mindless outrage over selected and incomplete information has been a rousing success.
great to see that the 9/11 truthers and Obama birthers have time to weave conspiracies about JoePa. Your record speaks for itself . . .
seeing as the original post was deleted, not much of a zinger. more of a ho-ho
who leaked the emails, and why?
oh so you fell for the email leak, too? because, you know, the media never lies or blows things out of proportion. And the person who leaked those emails was only concerned about the public knowing the truth.
You and Chief Detective need to run a business where you extraplote EVERYTHING that was reported in the paers to its most absurd and illogical conclusions, hoping to foment mass hysteria. Oh wait, FOX News already exists . . .
I agree with everything you say, except the part that makes no sense. And that would be all of it.

Falafel is a popular snack and main dish from the Middle East. It's eaten in many countries nowadays, as an increasingly common and well-loved part of international streetfood cuisine. It's a tasty and savoury vegetarian, and even vegan, snack that's nutritious and filling. Since it combines a legume (chick peas) with a grain (wheat) it contains valuable proteins.
The barebones base of a falafel sandwich consists of the falafel itself and the pita bread. What then truly makes it great are the greens, the trimmings and the sauces. They will all be discussed in this Instructable.
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Note: If you do not like or do not react well to cilantro, you might as well stop reading here.
For the falafel itself:
- 1 kilo dried chick peas
- Some chick pea flour, in case of wetness
- 1 pack of baking powder
- Fresh cilantro (a handful)
- Fresh parsley (same)
- Ground cilantro
- Ground cumin
- Optional: cilantro seeds, coarsely ground in a mortar
- Garlic (fresh or powdered)
- Salt and pepper
- Oil for deep frying
- Pita bread (30 to 40 depending on size)
Greens, trimmings and sauces will be listed in their own respective steps.
Step 2: Before we start:
- The chick peas need to be soaked in water for at least 10 hours. So be sure to buy them ahead of time and put them in water the night before you intend to make your falafel.
Just before beginning:
- Preheat your oven for the pita bread (see packaging).
- Fire up your deep fryer. 180 C is a good temperature.
- Find a hungry friend or two and set them to work on step 5, 6 and 7.
The kitchen can be a dangerous place. Use safety gear as needed.

Is there some way to switch to a more minimal/lite version of the DC forum for better viewing on mobile devices with slow bandwidth and small screen?
I though I'd seen something like that but can't find it now. I searched here for wap iphone android mobile before posting.
feature idea:
It would be useful if the page
could come in a very mobile device friendly version. Maybe even one that does not require login but instead a long url that the user can generate and keep private. Example:
To reply to posts, goto account settings and so on would still require a login.

Motorola FLIPSIDE
Last Updated: Nov 16th,2010
The Motorola FLIPSIDE is another of the seven Android phones that Motorola announced at CTIA 2010. It sports a 3.1 one inch touchscreen, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, and Android with MOTOBLUR. Its name is odd considering nother ever flips. It does slide, though, and has a nice optical trackpad on the front.
It's accurate to liken the Flipside to Ma Bell's version of the Motorola Cliq, but with just a tad bit more bang. AT&T made the phone available on November 8th, 2010.

Ah, there you are little Motorola Flipout. And you brought along two friends! How nice. The phone that we almost left for dead has touched down at AT&T and it isn't alone.

A nod to the heritage and tradition of golf, the Royal Links Golf Club is one of the most distinctive courses in the country. Designed by Dye International, the links-style course replicates some of the most famous holes from 11 different British Open courses. The par-72 course measures 7,029 yards and offers five sets of tee boxes, accommodating all levels of skill. In keeping with tradition, the course includes more than 100 pot bunkers but no water elements. The spectacular course gives golfers the chance to play famous holes including St. Andrews' "Hell Bunker" and "The Road Hole," as well Royal Troon's "The Postage Stamp." Legendary holes from courses including Royal Liverpool, Preswick, Carnoustie, Turnberry, Muirfield and more can also be found, faithfully recreated, at the Royal Links Golf Club. Honors for the one-of-a-kind club include, among others, a 2006 Las Vegas Review Journal nod for "Best Course in Las Vegas" and a spot in GolfWeek's list of "America's Best Courses."
The incredible experience continues with the professional forecarddies, who are knowledgeable about the history of each hole. Walking caddies are also on site to accompany those players who wish to walk the beautiful course.
And as one would expect, the castle-style clubhouse is like a step back in time. Guests will find a pro shop and authentic pub inside.

The assembly of nanoparticle films by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) synthesis and deposition on temperature-controlled substrates (323–723 K) was investigated for several application-relevant conditions. An exemplary SnO2 nanoparticle aerosol was generated by FSP and its properties (e.g., particle size distribution), and deposition dynamics were studied in details aiming to a simple correlation between process settings and film growth rate. At high precursor concentrations (0.05–0.5·mol/L), typically used for FSP synthesis, the nanoparticles agglomerated rapidly in the aerosol leading to large (>100 nm) fractal-like structures with low diffusivity. As a result, thermophoresis was confirmed as the dominant nanoparticle deposition mechanism down to small (≈40 K) temperature differences (ΔT) between the aerosol and the substrate surface. For moderate-high ΔT (>120 K), thermal equilibrium was rapidly obtained yielding a constant thermophoretic flux and film growth rate. A model was developed to predict the nanoparticle deposition rates by FSP synthesis at moderate-high ΔT that does not require detailed analysis of the aerosol composition. Comparison with previous studies having similar nozzle geometries showed that the deposition rates of FSP-made aerosols can be reasonably well predicted for various materials and flame conditions. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2012

I have a 6 and 4 year old and I have one big tip.
Load one iDevice with educational apps and let them have that whenever they want. If its an iDevice they also play games on they won't like learning apps as they'll just want to play plants vs. zombies etc.
App for That: teaching kids to write
There are hundreds of thousands of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad apps for just about everything -- so how come the one you need, the one you know just has to be there, is so hard to find? Enter TiPb's new weekly feature where staff and readers alike sort through the App Store and help you find just the right App for That. This week, @mfares asks:
Hey llofte, do you know of any good apps for kids who just started to learn how to write ? I need it for my nephew. Thanks.
To see what we found, follow along after the break!
iWriteWords [$2.99 - iTunes link] is a game that simultaneously teaches your child how to write. The objective is to help Mr. Crab collect numbers in a sequence - which just so happen to be in the shape of letters. When all the letters in the given word are drawn correctly, a cute drawing appears.
iWriteWords is a universal application for iPhone and iPad, so your nephew can practice his writing on multiple devices.
Bonus: Writing with your finger is not the same as writing with an appropriate instrument, so to enhance the learning experience, check out the Ten One Design Pogo Sketch!
Anyone else have any App for That suggestions for @mfares? Let him -- and all of us -- know in the comments.
Having trouble finding what you need in the app store? Send us an email to email@example.com and let us know what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to find you just the right App for That!

App for That: teaching kids to write
I have a 6 and 4 year old and I have one big tip.
Good point; I don't have any kids but I'm considering getting something like this for my nephew & niece.
I would use apps made by http://montessorium.com/. Since my daughter is in Montessori, she gets particular benefit, but they are great apps regardless.
What you say is very true... but imagine combining the traditional way with modern technology... i mean, app developers are just trying to come up with ways to make learning fun... sometimes we should also look at the brighter side of things and give it a chance... i wish all of this were available when i was growing up...
Sohail, this app is a huge help to kids who cannot hold a pen or pencil properly. My son has low muscle tone and motor delays and really struggles with holding a pencil the right way. This app helps him learn how letters and numbers are formed, even though he can't really write them yet.
My daughter has had an iOS device since she was 2 or 3. She's almost 5 now and i've probably spent way more on her apps than mine.
Iwritewords is probably one of the better writing ones because they have to write it correctly, even if its with a finger.
http://www.24x7digital.com/content/view/195/96/ This one has them write their answers and recognizes what they write. One of her favorites.
She also likes the Word Bingo and Math Bingo games.
Our six year old Autistic son uses this app on his ipad, which also doubles as his assistive speaking device (he's nonverbal). He has been in an all day, year long program since he was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago. His teachers and therapists have all been great & worked with him hand over hand with every size & shape of writing impliment, but with only marginal results over those 3+ years.
After 2 months of using this app on a daily basis, he does all his writing worksheets (most tracing dotted lines, but with a pencil.) He now chooses to use crayons & sidewalk chalk & is even able to write his own name. iWriteWords is not the sole reason for his progress, but it literally allowed him to personally connect (with his finger tip, though we make him use a stylus for apps too) to writing.
The ipad has done that for him (and his typically functioning sister) with all his work and therapies. The moment Apple fine tunes their parental controls (ie. looking folders, looking individual apps, instant wireless activity logs pushed to my iphone or mobile me, etc. I have a long list.) I'll be their most vocal proponent of the ipad's educational uses.
Obviously meant "locking folders" & "locking apps". The children returned.

Full Platter:
Well, it looks like there is another Hollywood bun in the oven and this time it's Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and Transformers hottie Josh Duhamel's bun that's a-cookin!
According to E! News, the couple has officially announced that they will be expecting their first child together.
While rumors flooded the media the second the two tied the knot back in January 2009, the lovebirds haven't given us much room for speculation. Until now that is.
In a recent interview with E! News about Duhamel's latest flick, Safe Haven, host Kristina Guerrero gets up close and personal and swiftly asks the big question that everybody's been wondering: "When are you having kids." Duhamel chuckles at the smoothly transitioned topic he and the Dutchess are so oftenly asked and said, "It is something that is happening... it's happening." Followed with, I'll be sure to let you know."
Little did we know that it had actually been happening!
As for the 37-year-old pop singer, she took straight to Twitter to announce the big news. "Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!! #my lovelybablybump," she tweeted along with her a childhood picture of her and her hubby cropped in.
Josh took to Facebook as well, writing, "Fergie and Me and BABY makes three. #MyLovelyBabyBump," followed by the same photo.
Duhamel also opened up in his recent Safe Haven premiere in L.A. that a child would be his "greatest life achievement" E! News previously reported.
Aw, both mom and dad seem so happy!

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 26, 2007 The 978 new second lieutenants who graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., today, knew from the start of their military education that they were joining an Army at war, Vice President Richard B. Cheney said during the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2007.
"You came here knowing these four years would pass; the courses would be finished; this day of commissioning would arrive -- and you would then become responsible for the well being of men and women under your command," Cheney said to the 978 members of the class.
The vice president said West Point prepared the new second lieutenants for battlefield leadership. In fact, some of the newly minted officers are already combat veterans, having served in Operation Enduring Freedom as enlisted personnel.
"More than 25 graduates of this academy now on active duty have earned the Silver Star, and in Iraq, the Multinational Force is led by a superb officer, Gen. Dave Petraeus, class of 1974," Cheney said.
The new officers understand the threats facing the United States. He said the Army must surmount unprecedented challenges, but it is still the finest force ever fielded by the United States of America.
Cheney, who served as defense secretary during Operation Desert Storm, said he wished all Americans could visit the service academies.
"Year in and year out, the academies prepare the finest of young Americans to protect our people, to defend the land we call home, and to serve the ideals that define this nation," he said. "In an often cynical age, the armed forces and their academies are all the more exceptional. The values of a military education -- the sense of rectitude, the devotion to duty, and the daily acceptance of personal responsibility -- are a credit to the students and to the instructors, and an example for our entire country."
The new officers understand the reason America is fighting terrorists: the United States was attacked. He said if al Qaeda could, they would launch far more destructive attacks on the United States than those that killed 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.
"They are working feverishly to obtain ever more destructive weapons, and using every form of technology they can get their hands on," he said. "This makes the business of fighting this war as urgent and time-sensitive as any task this nation has ever taken on."
While the U.S. government has taken steps to defend against more terror attacks, the true strategy is to go after the terrorists where they live, to "shut down their training camps, take down their networks, deny them sanctuary and bring them to justice," the vice president said. "In that effort, some of the most difficult and dangerous work has been carried out by the U.S. Army. America is the kind of country that stands up to brutality, terror, and injustice. And you are the kind of people we depend on to get the job done."
The new officers represent the best standards and ethics, and they are pitted against an enemy who oppose and despise everything an American stands for. "Capture one of these killers, and he'll be quick to demand the protections of the Geneva Convention and the Constitution of the United States," Cheney said. "Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away.
"These are men who glorify murder and suicide," he continued. "Their cruelty is not rebuked by human suffering, only fed by it. They have given themselves to an ideology that rejects tolerance, denies freedom of conscience and demands that women be pushed to the margins of society. The terrorists are defined entirely by their hatreds, and they hate nothing more than the country you have volunteered to defend."
The terrorists will follow their strategy and attempt to impose a fundamentalist dictatorship based on a safe haven in Iraq. "In Iraq today, the al Qaeda network that struck America is one of the elements trying to destroy a democratic government," Cheney said. "They are surging their capabilities, attacking Iraqi and American forces and killing innocent civilians.
U.S. servicemembers are serving in Iraq because that is where the enemy has gathered" he said.
"We are there because, after 9/11, we decided to deny terrorists any safe haven," he said. "We are there because, having removed Saddam Hussein, we promised not to allow another dictator to rise in his place. And we are there because the security of this nation depends on a successful outcome."
Cheney said the war on terror does not have to be an endless war. To prevail, the United States and its allies must alleviate the conditions that produce terrorists. "We know from history that when people live in freedom, answering to their own conscience and charting their own destiny, they will not be drawn to the ideologies of hatred and violence," Cheney said. "We know, as well, that when people are given the chance to live in freedom, most of them will make that choice."
Cheney said the Iraqi government is making progress, and Americans should have confidence. But he said there is another reason for confidence in Iraq.
"The single most reliable fact of this war is the skill and courage of the American soldiers fighting it," he said. "You're about to become leaders in an amazing Army -- an all-volunteer force that has carried out tough missions in a time of great need for our country. They have endured long deployments, separation from family, and loss of comrades. They have fought boldly and courageously, from the cold mountains of Afghanistan to the dust and heat of the Middle Eastern desert. Now they're going to look to you for leadership, and it'll be your job to provide that leadership and to take care of them."
Cheney said the new officers must take this job seriously. They must look to the needs of their soldiers and they must accomplish their missions. "And you're entitled to expect some things in return," he said. "You deserve the tools and the backing to do your work, wherever duty takes you. At the same time, you deserve the support that makes life easier for your loved ones."
The United States is a country that fights for ideas and ideals. U.S. soldiers stand for freedom. "This world we live in is a better place for the power, and influence, and the values of the United States of America," Cheney said. "Americans are rightly proud of our country. We're a patriotic people, and we show that devotion in many different ways. And the bravest way of all is to take up the profession of arms."

Bald eagles are thriving. The major comeback story of America's national symbol is visible from the Skagit River to Whidbey Island to Seattle's Discovery Park. Just 105 pairs nested in Washington as of 1980. The number of occupied nests increased eightfold in the next 25 years, and numerous "non-resident" eagles winter in the "Magic Skagit."
The banning of the pesticide DDT is a big part of eagle recovery. So is a change of attitude in which the national symbol is no longer considered competition for salmon. Eagles are now a major tourist draw in the Skagit.

Assessing Information Literacy Skills with TRAILS and ResearchReady
Traditionally, educators have assessed their students' information literacy skills through reading their papers and grading their research projects. But as more educators are seeing the benefits of formative assessment and there is less time to assign research projects, many educators are turning to other means of evaluating the research skills students need to succeed.
Many educators have found that TRAILS is a great way to assess student understanding of important research skills. TRAILS is a freely available assessment platform created by Kent State University Libraries. These assessments are aligned with both Common Core State Standards and American Association of School Librarians' Standards for the 21st-Century Learner. The assessment content covers research skills for students in grades 3, 6, 9 and 12.
The TRAILS style of research assessment allows educators to get a good understanding of student research skills BEFORE they start working on their papers. This helps ensure that students are get the right kind of research practice (they aren't wasting their time using poor research techniques) and that they can create a solid product at the end of their research process. The questions are thorough, well-thought out, and address all important information literacy concepts. They also are scaffolded out for 3rd grade, 6th grade, 9th grade and 12th grade students, so that teacher can select the questions appropriate to their students.
If your students have taken the TRAILS assessment and you've found that they are struggling with research basics, you may find that your students would benefit from the instructional content in ResearchReady's online platform. ResearchReady is also aligned with Common Core and AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner. We currently have 3 different levels of course content (middle school, high school, and college) available to teach your students important information literacy skills. Our assessment questions provide immediate feedback for your students, and help teachers see where exactly students are struggling.
TRAILS assessment and ResearchReady's content are a great compliment to each other. So if you are interested in preparing your students for college-level research, check us out!
Caity Selleck is the in-house librarian for EasyBib and ResearchReady. You can find her on Twitter, @Caity_EasyBib, or posting news you can use at the EasyBib Librarians Facebook page.

Another stunner from the Spector family.
Normally, black and blue is a bad thing. But in the case of this gorgeous 4-string Spector bass guitar, it's a mix of coloration that gives the highly, figured maple top the look of ripples in a pool. If that soothing appearance isn't enough to interest you, the sounds you can create with it will. Featuring special EMG 40DC single/dual coil mode pickups and a USA Spector 18v circuit that includes a knob for master volume, pickup blend/balance, and a stacked pot for bass and treble boost/cut, you'll get a strong midrange with bright highs, and tapered, yet tight lows. This NS-4 bass has a graphite-reinforced 3-piece neck-thru maple neck and a Pau Ferro fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. It also comes with a Spector solid brass bridge, Schaller straplocks, Hipshot Ultralite tuners, and a case to protect it between sessions.

Ideal for children's crafts, these Mixed Color Cotton Loops can be used for weaving, crocheting and looping.
Bag contains enough to make approximately 16 pot holders.
Each package contains 16-ounces of cotton loops.

Recommend: Yes
I was only able to get 12 potholders out of a 16 oz. bag. They were too small & kept popping off the loom. Had to use masking tape to keep them on until edges were finished. Contacted the manufacturer about this.

These cotton weaving loops are perfect for a small weaving loom. It can be really difficult to find ones that are cotton. Look no further! This is the bag of loops you want if you prefer cotton.
6 out of 6 found this review helpful.
These are excellent to use for potholders. I bought two packages recently. The cotton loops are best if you want to use them to make potholders.

This guy lacks journalistic integrity to the max. What a joke of a profile.
Best Reporter (Newspaper Division) St. Louis 2006 - Jake Wagman
Jake Wagman is your prototypical old-school reporterscrappy, dogged, endlessly prolific. He also embodies the quintessential rumpled look, as if he just rolled out of bed or stayed up all night banging out the last few grafs for a Sunday banner story. The frenetic newshound prowls the corridors of city hall, eternally on his cell phone, a pen in his mouth, a stained cup of joe in one hand, a tape recorder in the other. His prose is clean and dispassionate, particularly when the assignment involves government or political coverage (which is often). Wagman is what we in the biz call a hard-news guy. As such, he has a flair for taking a snoozer of a storya school bond issue, a tax battle, an arcane piece of legislationand turning it into something, well, interesting. When Jeff Smith won his race for the state senate, Wagman observed, "Watching Jeff Smith's victory party, it was hard to tell whether he had won a race for the Legislature or for student council. College-aged kids were drinking beer and chasing each other with water guns. A live band belted out 'Free Bird' [sic]. And there was Smithplaying the drums. St. Louis, meet your next state senator." Our Wagman of the Year award goes to his dispatch about the four-foot lizard on the lam, which began: "It's still not a good time to be a bird in the Compton Heights neighborhood of St. Louis."

Crime of the CenturyThe Kennedy Assassination from a Historian's Perspective
Third Edition
Kurtz, Michael L.
Paper Edition, $26.95t
Paper ISBN: 1-62190-009-6
Status: In Print
DescriptionPraise for the Previous Edition
"Kurtz offers the most compelling, readable, and novel treatment of America's most controversial assassination case, and does so with no taint of sensationalism."
"Solidly researched, absorbing, and often provocative, this is recommended for most collections." —William Thomas Miller, Library Journal
"Well reasoned and thought provoking." —Publishers Weekly
"This well written, extensively researched volume...is a competent and reputable piece of work." —David Garrow, The Historian
Now a classic, Michael Kurtz's Crime of the Century recounts the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and provides a detailed critical analysis of the investigations of the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations. Kurtz outlines the major areas of controversy about the assassination and sifts all the known evidence before concluding that both official inquiries failed to evaluate the considerable evidence of an assassination conspiracy. Kurtz also examines each of the most prevalent conspiracy theories and shows how often they fail to fit the facts. This third edition includes a new introduction, based on updated information about the assassination since the second edition was published in 1993, including material from the National Archives and several major recent interpretations of the events.
Drawing on a variety of primary source materials from the National Archives and the FBI's and CIA's declassified assassination files, Crime of the Century remains a book of importance not only to students of the Kennedy assassination but also scholars of government response to political violence.
Michael L. Kurtz is professor emeritus of history at Southeastern Louisiana University. In 1995 he testified before the Assassination Records Review Board regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Kurtz is coauthor of Louisiana: A History and was associate editor for Readings in Louisiana History.

SUU football: Thunderbirds try to keep rolling vs. UC Davis
Cedar City • Ed Lamb's record as Southern Utah's football coach is 30-30, meaning he can go over .500 on Saturday, when the Thunderbirds host UC Davis.
A big deal?
A winning record at this point in Lamb's tenure at the school would be a major accomplishment considering Southern Utah lost 18 straight games before he took over in 2008.
Lamb, however, probably would prefer beating UC Davis so Southern Utah can improve on this season's record 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big Sky Conference.
The Thunderbirds are off to their best start in 16 years behind the play of a vastly improved defense, which limited Northern Colorado to 4 yards rushing in last week's 27-21 victory over the Bears.
UC Davis atSouthern Utah
O At Eccles Coliseum
Kickoff • Saturday, 1 p.m.
TV • None
Radio • 91.1 FM
Records • UC Davis 1-4, 1-0; Southern Utah 4-1, 1-0
Series • UC Davis, 10-6
Last meeting • Southern Utah, 34-3 (2011)
About the Thunderbirds • This is their best start since 1997. ... They have won three games (South Alabama, Sacramento State, Northern Colorado) by 10 points.
About the Aggies • They come off a 30-13 win over Idaho State. ... Of the 100 players on their roster, 99 of them are from California. ... QB Jimmy Laughrea has completed 59 of 109 passes for 592 yards and one TD, but he has thrown four interceptions.

HAZEL GREEN, Ala. (WHNT) – WHNT News 19 is taking action to help a local athletic group whose ball field was vandalized.
The Hazel Green Athletic Association says one of its softball fields at Billy Hunter Park was vandalized on Saturday.
"A truck came in, it took toward the infield and did a few donuts and then decided [the driver] wanted to go to the outfield and do some more donuts," said Association President Brandon Holt. "How can anybody do this to the kids?"
Many folks are wondering the same thing in the Hazel Green community. The damaged field is one of eight at the park and it usually is the site of softball games for 8 to 12-year-old girls.
Holt says HGAA had just spent $1,500 redoing the infield last week. The group was able to use leftover dirt from the project to fix the infield, but the damage to the outfield is expected to cost $1,200.
"We're here for the kids and the park is here for the kids and when we have to spend money to redo our fields and to redo our outfield that just takes money out of the kids, other stuff that they can have," said Holt.
Spring ball ended, but sign-ups for fall ball will start in August and the outfield will need to be fixed by then.
"We come here, we pay our money and we want to have a nice place for our kids to play," said Holt. "And it's hard to see your money getting spent on things that it shouldn't be spent on like that when we need other things. Other things that could be repaired or other things that we could use equipment-wise and then we're out here having to spend money on repairing somebody joy-riding on the fields."
WHNT News 19 took action and reached out to local law enforcement, who is looking into the matter.
We will continue to stay on top of this story, but if you know anything about this incident, please contact the Madison County Sheriff's Department at (256) 722-7181.

PHOENIX -- What started out as a good trip out West ended with a gigantic dud in the Arizona desert for the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers, who opened the trip with two straight wins, returned to Indianapolis with two straight losses after losing 105-97 to the Phoenix Suns at the US Airways Center on Friday.
"We had a couple of good wins, but we should be going home 3-1. There's no doubt about it," Pacers swingman Mike Dunleavy said. "For this team to take the next step that's what we have to do." ...

Choosing a Language.
So now that I'm happy with my new Mac and have experience working on a Mac, I want to transfer my programming knowledge from Linux to Mac. Since I use the GCC on Linux, compiling simple terminal apps is no big deal at all. The biggest problem for me is choosing a solid language. I really want to use Cocoa with Xcode, but it seems to me that Cocoa developers love Objective-C. I used C++ on Linux and don't really want to learn C just to learn Objective-C. Actually, do I really have to?
So, can I use C++ with Cocoa and Xcode? If so, how well does Cocoa and C++ work with each other? Also, if I do need to learn Objective-C, how does it compare to C++ in your experience?
Thanks in advance.
Many say Objective-C is a nicer and easier to understand extension to C then C++ is. My one experiment with C++ was a nightmare I don't wish to return to, but Objective-C made more sense to me. I had some C experience before trying either.
I think to take advantage of the Apple frameworks, you'll mostly need to use Objective-C. There is suppose to be C++ integration of some sort, but I don't have any working knowledge about that.
If you "really want to use Cocoa with Xcode" then pick up one of the highly recommended books and take a stab at it.
Yeah I'll have to learn Objective-C I guess.
You might want to start with the Cocoadevcentral site and specifically this Learn C for Cocoa one.

We've a prediction that the Chinese economy will be larger than the US one by 2016. Isn't that just absolutely wonderful?
China's economy expanded last year at 7.8pc – its slowest pace in more than a decade – and recent data has fuelled concerns that any rebound in the country's growth is losing steam.
However, the OECD was upbeat, predicting in a new survey of China's prospects that the country's economy could expand by 8.5pc this year and by 8.9pc in 2014.
While the OECD noted the slowdown in China's aggressive expansion, it nonetheless predicted that growth should average 8pc in this decade at current rates of investment and reform.
After allowing for price differences, it forecast that China could become the world's largest economy, overtaking America, around 2016.
It is only a prediction and as the man said, prediction, especially about the future, is difficult*.
And here's a clue or two to why this is such a wonderful thing to happen:
At the recently built head office of Zhejiang Hongyu Medical Commodity Co.Ltd – the medical supplies firm which also sells to the UK's 99p Stores and Castleford-based firm OTL – factory workers said they put in 10-hour days, with two days off each month. For that, they are paid around £320.
Still, they say, the work is good. "I'm quite content with my job otherwise I wouldn't have stayed here for so long," said Wang Jinfang, a 42-year-old who has worked at the factory for 10 years.
Back at the turn of the millenium factory wages in China were more like $1,000 a year. Now, as you can see, they're around $5,000, $6,000 a year. That's a startling rise in incomes for what is, after all, the home of some one sixth of our fellow humans. A serious increase in human happiness and wealth in fact. As to why they've been increasing:
But the party may not last for ever. Local factory owners said overheads were rising and complained that it was increasingly hard to find staff. Mr Cohen said he had also heard talk of jewellery manufacturing being moved to Vietnam because wages and other costs there were cheaper.
Mr Wu, the owner of the scarf manufacturer Wells Knitting, admitted he was also feeling the strain of rising production costs and planned to retreat to his home province, Henan, in five years time to open a business there.
It's all happening just as Marx said it would. Capitalists are indeed greedy for profits. So, if there are profits to be made by employing people then capitalists will compete amongst themselves to employ the people out of whom they can make profits. And once that "reserve army of the unemployed" is exhausted, the end result will be rising wages for the workers. Exactly what we're seeing happening here.
And as to why it's happening, that's simple too: globalisation. We, that's all of us, are simply both more willing and more able to buy the things made by poor people in poor parts of the world. This makes us better off: we get stuff for cheap. But it also makes the people making the stuff better off: see that 6 times rise in Chinese wages in only 13 years. We get better off, they get better off, isn't it all just the most remarkable demonstration of the truisms that Adam Smith and David Ricardo laid out two centuries and more ago? The division of labour, the specialisation of it and the trade in the resultant production makes everyone richer.
It's worth noting that even as China's economy approaches, even surpasses, that of the US the Chinese won't be gaining US living standards. For there are four times more of them than there are of Americans, so the same value added (this is what GDP measures, the value added in an economy) must be divided by four to give average living standards. But it is a huge advance in human happiness that this is happening. Over a billion people getting rich simply by making things that we want to buy.
As my boss at the Adam Smith Institute in London, Madsen Pirie, is wont to say. If you care about the poor of this world then buy things made by poor people in poor countries. For as above, it's the one thing we've really ever found that makes them richer.
Which leads me on to a larger point. Yes, I know, this globalisation, this neoliberalism, supposedly it's put forward by those who are just mouthpieces for the 1%. Simply apologists for the capitalists running pigdogs. But the truly remarkable thing about it is how pro-poor the outcomes actually are. The last 30 odd years of this globalisation thing have led to the largest reduction in poverty in the entire history of our species. Fewer people are absolutely poor than they were, a smaller portion of humanity is absolutely poor. It's actually been so extreme that global inequality is falling too.
China's getting rich which is a wonderful thing. Huge swathes of our fellow humans are moving from destitution to the petit bourgeois pleasures of a roof over their heads, a change of clothes and three squares a day. And all just because we're now allowed to buy the things that they're willing to make.
Ain't that great? Something to be celebrated? Globalisation actually works, it reduces poverty.
*There are a number of versions of who said this but I would go with Nils Bohr.

The steel structure looms large from Midge Cross and Scott Johnston's back porch. And from the beginning they say Architect Tom Kundig and his partners ignored land covenants meant to prevent any ridgeline buildings that would be visible from below.

Why Is Michelle Williams' Sex Scene Rated NC-17 While Natalie Portman's Is R?Posted Dec 7th 2010 at 12:45 PM by Gary Susman

NELSON COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) — A judge denied bond Thursday afternoon for the man accused of abducting a missing 17-year-old Nelson County teen.
CBS 6 News' Sandra Jones reported that the the judge denied bond based on the prosecution's argument that Randy Taylor is a danger to the community and a flight risk.
Additionally, prosecutors also brought up that Taylor had failed to pay $600 in restitution for a 2005 arson conviction. Albemarle County charged him with the probation violation for failure to pay, which Taylor's attorney called suspicious.
The judge also waived a preliminary hearing. As a result, a grand jury will weigh the evidence and decide whether to hand down an indictment against Taylor on Sept. 26.
Today's developments come after the media was allowed into the hearing. However, the the judge could still opt to close the hearing if material sensitive to the case or investigation was divulged.
Forty-eight-year-old Taylor is charged with abduction in the case of missing 17-year-old Alexis Murphy.
Randy Taylor's attorney said his client admits he was with Murphy the day she was last seen; however, Taylor said she left with a drug dealer when they parted.
