Comments On Aug 28, 2012:My son has a prescribed CTI on his right leg so I bought him one of these for his left. Decent brace for the money.Left bottom bracket broke after a year of hard racing so rather than send it back for repairs we're going with the more expensive PODS. Perfect for little guys and beginnner racers.

Friday is protest day outside Planned Parenthood in Portland. Every week for months, a group of anti-abortion activists has been showing up outside the Congress Street clinic, with signs and graphic images and Bibles, singing and shouting at those coming and going from the building. Today, a nearby business owner organized nearly 80 counter protesters. And as Samantha Fields reports, the ongoing strife has the city of Portland looking into creating a buffer zone around the building.
Most Fridays outside Planned Parenthood sound something like this: (Sound of protesters singing).
But this morning, the usual anti-abortion protestors were outnumbered by a pro-choice crowd.
"My sign says, 'I use Planned Parenthood, too,'" says Sam Mercer. Mercer is 23 and lives in Portland, but does not typically stand outside Planned Parenthood holding a sign. But he did this morning.
"Because I think that it's important to at least let Portland know that there are more of us who support Planned Parenthood than don't," he says. "And to remind Planned Parenthood of that as well - make sure that they don't feel unwelcome when every Friday there are people out front saying that they're wrong."
Leslie Sneddon (right, in purple hat) is one of the regular Friday protestors. She's the New England regional director of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, which opposes abortion. "We're out here to stop the murdering of innocents in the womb," she says.
Sneddon says she, herself, has had four abortions -- now, she wants to be sure women are informed before they make such a decision.
"I can say all I want about who is in the womb. But if I can show you a graphic picture of a pre-born child, and what an aborted child looks like, that's going to make an impact with you," she says.
Counter protestors say they aren't objecting to the display of graphic images. But many feel the anti-abortion demonstrators have crossed the line.
"They yell at people, they intimidate people. Although you can't see it today because there's cameras, they actually close in on people when they enter the building," says Bre Kidman, who works at a call center in the building. She also volunteers as a greeter for Planned Parenthood on Fridays, helping shield patients and usher them past protestors - something she started doing after experiencing the weekly protests, which she says she can hear even from her seventh-floor office.
"It was really hard for me to come to work on Fridays," she says. "It was really difficult to get through this gauntlet of people. And I really wanted to do something about it."
So did Mike Fink (with ponytail, left, back to camera) who owns Guitar Grave and Mike's Restaurant just down the block from Planned Parenthood. He's been dreading coming to work on Fridays so much that he decided to start a counter protest. The first week, it was just him. The second, he had one other person join him.
This time, one of his employees posted about it on Facebook. Word spread, and around a hundred people showed up to support Planned Parenthood.
"It's been the best Friday I've had for months and months," Fink says. "I tried to ignore them for months, but I just can't continue ignoring them. So I'm trying to do a peaceful, productive protest, to stop them from harassing and intimidating people on Congress Street in front of my store."
Mike's Restaurant gave out free coffee and breakfast sandwiches to pro-choice demonstrators this morning. Fink has also started raising money for Planned Parenthood - including all the tips from this morning, which he delivered in a brown paper bag.
It's something he never, in a million years, thought he'd do. His hope is that the city will create a buffer zone around Planned Parenthood, so that protestors can't phyiscially cross a certain line. It's something the owners of the building Planned Parenthood is in are talking to city officials about now. City spokeswoman Nicole Clegg says officials are looking into what their legal options might be.
"Certainly this is an issue that has a number of factors that need to be considered," she says. "We want to make sure that we are protecting and ensuring that First Amendment rights are respected, that people have the right to protest on public property. But we also want to make sure that the men and women that are traveling that sidewalk, that are entering that building, are free from intimidation and are free to exercise their own civil rights."
Other cities and states, like Burlington, Vermont, and Massachusetts, have created buffer zones around Planned Parenthood and other reproductive clinics that have held up in court.
Leslie Sneddon, who leads the weekly protests on Congress Street, says that even if Portland does create a buffer zone, she and her fellow protestors will keep showing up every Friday, with much larger signs.

text: Music @ the Speed of Life is an improvement on 2008's E-Life, a static, paint-by-number disappointment from a band renowned for fresh, even innovative fare. But, not by much. With hints of Guy, Earth Wind & Fire and Kool & the Gang, Stokely Williams (frontman-vocalist-drums), O'Dell (guitar), Lawrence El (keys), Jeff Allen (sax, keys) and Ricky Kinchen (bass) haven't returned to the form that made them international standard bearers of contemporary R&B. They have, however, somewhat returned to credibility. Intermittently, Williams' vocals regain some sense of urgency and the songwriting again is fairly imaginative. Continue Reading →

- Advocacy
Clinical and other research trials are important to advance scientific knowledge about hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
Periodically, the Preeclampsia Foundation makes arrangements with investigators to make enrollment information available about their studies. The following preeclampsia research trials have been approved by Institutional Review Boards. If you are interested in participating in one of the following studies, please contact the primary study investigator directly to inquire about enrollment. Listing of these studies on this site does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the Preeclampsia Foundation.
Preeclampsia survivors and those at risk for these pregnancy complications should seek to understand the benefits, alternatives and risks of participating in any research study, including those intended to study prevention or therapeutic interventions. Please know that the choice to participate in any research study is up to you.
Research Study: Understanding the Patient Journey
Several preeclampsia researchers are collaborating with rEVO Biologics, a company developing a treatment for preeclampsia, to better understand the patient's journey through diagnosis, management, treatment, and delivery -- not necessarily in that order! Analyzing thousands of real-world patient experiences will help us to develop better education tools and processes, and to advocate to healthcare providers for improved patient engagement. This survey is being administered by The Preeclampsia Registry, a service of the Preeclampsia Foundation.
Only those who completed their first enrollment questionnaire to The Preeclampsia Registry will be eligible to take this survey. If you haven't finished your questionnaire, simply log-in to the Registry at www.preeclampsiaregistry.org and select "Finish a Questionnaire that I Started" from your MyRegistry page.
Research Study: Heart Health 4 Moms (HH4M)
Have you had a baby in the past 5 years? Was your pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia?
You may qualify for a research study that focuses on healthy behaviors to improve the long-term health of women who have had preeclampsia. This research is being conducted by Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston and the Preeclampsia Foundation. The study, Heart Health 4 Moms (HH4M), will be carried out online and will be accessible anytime, anywhere! Access to an internet-enabled smartphone or tablet is needed. You must live in one of the 50 U.S. states or one of the U.S. territories to be eligible. Up to $250 stipend provided.
Learn more at www.HH4M.org.
Research Study: PRESERVE-1

Study Overview:
PRESERVE-1 is a Phase 3 clinical study for women who are diagnosed with preeclampsia between 23-30 weeks of their pregnancy. This study will assess if antithrombin (Recombinant), a man-made version of a naturally occurring blood protein, can increase the time that your baby stays in the womb, decrease the problems that you may experience or improve the health and well-being of your baby.
What to Expect:
Participation in this study will involve gathering your medical history, physical exams, blood and urine collection, taking the study medication, and monitoring for side effects under observation by a physician. Some participants will receive the medication and some participants will receive a placebo, which is a saline solution without active ingredients. Your baby will also be followed after delivery.

Putting Together the Preeclampsia Puzzle
We are working with external investigators to analyze data from The Preeclampsia Registry to answer a variety of research questions.
Have you or any of your family members EVER had preeclampsia or high blood pressure in pregnancy?
Please consider enrolling in The Preeclampsia Registry at www.PreeclampsiaRegistry.org. Preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are life-threatening to the mother and her unborn baby. Your story, medical and pregnancy history, and ongoing health reporting will help scientists unravel all the pieces of this puzzle.
Our goal is to have well over 10,000 participants including women directly affected, their sisters, and even friends who were not affected (to serve as "controls"). To learn more or enroll, go to www.PreeclampsiaRegistry.org. If you have questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition, ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of most federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. ClinicalTrials.gov gives you information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details.
Investigators interested in our Study Participant Recruitment Services should contact the Preeclampsia Foundation at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Uresha Ravihari's Pregnancy
Probe into amputation of law student
The health ministry is investigating the amputation of the left hand of a law student. Minister Maithripala Sirisena has ordered his secretary Dr. Nihal Jayatilake to appoint a committee to investigate the matter.
This committee is headed by deputy director general of health Dr. Ananda Gunasekara.
Final year law student Achala Priyadarshani was admitted to Matara Hospital on January 17 following a broken left hand.
The broken hand had not been plastered properly and as a result, the nerves had got damaged beyond repair.
Three surgeries had been performed on her to remove her left hand.
Appointing Sana would be an issue – Arjuna
He doesn't consider Mr. Sanath Jayasooriya's appointment as the head of the cricket selection committee as an error but getting appointed to such a post in a very short time would cause problems later says Arjuna Ranatunga.
He said getting appointed to the post is an issue as Mr. Sanath Jayasooriya has not announced his retirement yet.
Arjuna Ranatunga expressed these views regarding the appointment of the new head of cricket selection committee. He said experienced and accomplished cricket players are reluctant to join the select committee due to political interference in the cricket sector.
Parliamentarian Santh Jayasooriya was appointed yesterday (25th) as the head of the cricket selection committee with the approval of the Minister. The term of the selection committee presided by Mr. Ashanthe de Mel ended on 31st December.
Meanwhile, renowned cricket commentator Haritha Perera has said Sanath Jayasooriya would be able to carry out his duties efficiently only if he doesn't consider his appointment as a political appointment.

Originally published January 9, 2012 at 7:56 p.m., updated January 10, 2012 at 4 a.m.
A motion hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning in the Alyssa Bustamante murder case.
And the victim's mother has told reporters the hearing will involve a plea agreement in the case.
In November 2009, after a juvenile court certification hearing determined Bustamante could be tried as an adult, Cole County grand jurors charged the teen — then 15 1/2 — with first-degree murder and armed criminal action for killing Elizabeth Olten, 9, on Oct. 21, 2009, by strangling her, cutting her throat and stabbing her.
In a Facebook message Monday evening, Olten's mother, Patty Preiss, said Tuesday's plea hearing was being held "against my wishes."
Two county officials confirmed Monday night that a hearing had been scheduled, although it was not listed in the Missouri courts' statewide, online "Case.net" system.
Neither official would say what the hearing was about.
Messages sent to Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson and Public Defenders Donald Catlett and Charles Moreland were not answered Monday night.

A spermatocele (SPUR-muh-toe-seel) is an abnormal sac (cyst) that develops in the epididymis — the small, coiled tube located on the upper testicle that collects and transports sperm. Noncancerous and generally painless, a spermatocele usually is filled with milky or clear fluid that might contain sperm.
The exact cause of spermatoceles is unknown but might be due to a blockage in one of the tubes that transports sperm.
Spermatoceles, sometimes called spermatic cysts, are common. They typically don't reduce fertility or require treatment. If a spermatocele grows large enough to cause discomfort, your doctor might suggest surgery.

Queen Elizabeth II Gossip
Queen Elizabeth II gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Queen, Brange, Maleficent, Fury
Splash, INF, WPA Pool/ Getty
Got yelled at by several Brangelunatics the last few days for not posting about Angelina Jolie getting honourary damed by the Queen on Friday. Because I had laser eye surgery and then it was Thanksgiving in Canada. So that's a lesson for you all: nothing is more important than Brange - not your vision, not family, not holiday. Full Story
The Queen and the Iron Throne
Handout/ Pool/ Getty
It's right there! Right there! Sit on it! She didn't. And maybe that's a smart move. Because nothing good, so far, has come from anyone sitting on the Iron Throne. Her Majesty visited the set of Game Of Thrones today in Belfast. Certain members from the cast were there too. Full Story
Pull my fingers
Chris Jackson/ WPA Pool/ Getty
Trooping The Colour happened this weekend in London to celebrate Her Majesty's birthday. Everyone has to show up for this one. Princess Catherine rode her with mother and brother-in-law to Buckingham Palace. Who wouldn't want to ride with Hot Harry? When you ride with Hot Harry, you're on the party bus. Full Story
A garden party and Grandfather's birthday
WPA Pool/ Getty
Prince Philip is 93 years old today. Maclean's rounded up some of his good and so-bad-they're-good moments over the years. The Duke celebrated his birthday by going to work. At the Queen's garden party. It's quite a contrast in comparison to those Cambridges, William and Catherine, who've come under some criticism lately for being lazy. Full Story
Her Majesty with Hot Harry and the Wounded
WPA Pool/ Getty
Prince Harry leaves on Sunday for Cape Town on his trip with Walking With The Wounded. They're expected to begin the trek on November 30th and arrive at the South Pole by December 16. Today there was an event at Trafalgar Square where he spoke about the mission and their goals. Yesterday Harry was at Buckingham Place as members of the charity were brought in to meet with Her Majesty in advance of the expedition. Full Story
Baby vs Bachelorette
Mirrorpix/ Splash
Um… PEOPLE Magazine's cover this week is not surprising – obviously the Cambridges and their baby boy king who arrived in time to make the deadline. It's the only story. But is it? Over at US Weekly though, well, the royal child has been bumped in favour of a bachelorette. Full Story
The Queen waits … at cricket
WPA Pool/ Getty
Queen Elizabeth showed up at the England-Australia cricket match today in London. She spoke with the players for an hour after arriving late, then went to her box for a bit, and then left early, prompting many to speculate that she was rushing off because Katy Cambridge was in labour. So far, there's been no confirmation that Kate's birthing the future king or queen. Full Story
Her Majesty must wait…and is down with the gays
The Queen was visited with her people in Lake Windermere in Cumbria today in a bright green outfit. While she was on her walkabout, she was asked by a precocious young lady about Kate's baby, whether or not she preferred a boy or a girl. The Queen answered right away. Like, she didn't miss a beat. Full Story
While the Royals wait…
WPA Pool/ Stuart C. Wilson/ Getty
Katy Cambridge's supposed due date came and went yesterday. Baby Wales has not yet arrived. Prince William is scheduled to play at a charity polo match on Sunday and they're making a big ass deal of the fact that he's still going even though his wife could deliver at any time. Please. Full Story
Hot Harry on a horse, with the children, and a fangirl
Wenn, Splash, Chris Jackson/ CARL COURT/ Getty
So much goodness going on in this set of photos... First of all, it's always good when Hot Harry is on a horse. And it's even better when Hot Harry spends time with the children. And it's hilarious when Hot Harry is in the presence of a fan girl who cannot handle his ginger sizzle. Full Story
The family supports Hot Harry
AFP/ Getty
Harry was busy yesterday. He and his brother visited with injured service personnel in Tidworth -- click here to see those photos if you missed them -- and then he was in London at the Chelsea Flower Show in support of his Sentebale charity's forget-me-not garden. Full Story

Comments On Jan 11, 2012:good tire for the softer muddy areas but it does wear a bit when ridden on the street or hard terrain like in the mountains

Comments On Jun 01, 2008:I rode 45 miles on xr650r in hills around cherry creek, UT. The tire had knobs torn off and was completely trashed. I never got really aggressive on this ride. Tire performed well but is as durable as butter. I would not recommend this tire unless you can afford a new one for every ride.

Comments On Oct 22, 2007:This tire has stiff sidewalls and may not flex like trial tires but I though my trial tire and will not look back. Aggressive tread design which hooks up everywhere it is NOT wet. I beat this tire and it wanted more. Wear well, good in everything but mud and wet rocks or wet roots. Very predictable handling.

(Every week I try to reflect on some of the things that made me happy as a Mom that week. It's a great way for me to start the new week with love and gratitude.)
This week we had fun crossing several things off of our Fall Bucket List.
1. Carving Pumpkins. There were some intense moments of anticipation watching Daddy carve out those pumpkin faces...
But we had lots of laughs too!
The pumpkins turned out great this year! We had the boys draw out the face they wanted on a piece of paper and Daddy used it to recreate the face on the pumpkins after the kids were done cleaning them out. Luke's is the one on the top with the alien eyes and no nose. Andy went with more of a traditional Jack-o-Lantern face at the bottom.
2. Trick or Treating. My boys are HUGE into Lego Ninjago right now so this year they went as Ninjas. Very simple DIY costumes with a $3 sword purchased at a local grocery store. Their hoods are actually black T-shirts with the neck hole over their face, and I tied the sleeves behind their head to tighten up the mask. They got right into Ninja character when I pulled out the camera. I loved it!
Lila got the hand-me-down Lion costume this year that all of my kids have worn. I couldn't get a great picture of her but she was absolutely adorable! She caught right on to trick-or-treating immediately and insisted on going up to every single house, even if the boys were ahead of us. The first couple houses we went to let her pick out her own piece of candy from the bowl so from then on when someone handed her a candy she didn't like, she would reach her hand right into their bowl and grab a different piece and say "Thank you" loudly as she walked away. I couldn't help but laugh at her sweet innocence. She was ever so proud of her bag of candy.
3. Playing in a Leaf Pile and taking pictures. Fall colors are my favorite and leaves make such a fun background for pictures. I dressed the boys in matching shirts and we took a trip to Wheeler Farm to soak in the Autumn air and play in the leaves. I let Lila roam free without a stroller and it was a heavenly afternoon!
Where or where did Lila go??

::DISCLAIMER:: Potential backers: Alteil:Horizons will seperate people from non-tournament legal cards, so this discussion about Tidalwave might not matter. Also note that dispite my grown distain against this card, this game is by far the most balanced one i've seen after 13 Sets and 1000+ cards strong. There's a huge amount of different files to play in the same RP range and win/lose ratio. There's no such thing as a file that beats all others. There is however such a thing as bad matchups, where one file has a 90%+ winrate over the other and visa-versa. The reasons for this can be traced back to just a few cards in Alteils existence; single cards that simply have to much power over another strategy.
What normally happens is that the other strategy gets more counters against it or even straight out nerfs, and in ALOT of cases that's been true over the years... but not (enough) in this particulair case of Tidalwave/return mechanics in my opinion.
That's why i'm proposing the following:
Direct Nerfs:
- 1st Openskill: [Conditional use: It's Turn 4 or lower] Return one Grimoire from your Cemetery to your Card File, and then raise Grimcount+2. You get Falkow +1. Send this card directly to cemetery.
- 2nd Openskill: [Conditional use: Falkow lvl3/Turn 5 or higher] Return one unit lvl2 or below to its Card File. Send a Grimoire from Card File to Cemetery.
- 1st Openskill: [Conditional use: Falkow lvl3 or higher] Return one unit lvl2 or below to its Card File. Send a Grimoire from Card File to Cemetery.
- 2nd Openskill: You get SP=0. You get [current SP + 2] at the beginning next turn.
- Openskill: [Conditional use: Opponent has 3 or more units on his field] Return one unit lvl2 or below to its Card File. Send a Grimoire from Card File to Cemetery.
Make it Lvl2 and remove the "Send a Grimoire from Card File to Cemetery" part. Or make the Openskill cost (1SP) and remove the "Send a Grimoire from Card File to Cemetery" part.
Give all Grimoires a standard Agi Value of 1.
Then you can let CERTAIN Grimoires (read: a very rare select few) win important Agirolls they need to become viable.
Idea 1): Allows the opponent the first few moves to start before getting disrupted = Folrart will see more diverse openings with lvl2's. Instead this card will help deal with early Grimbane.
Combo potential: Ariette->lvl3(WizardSoldier/PrincessBernet/Ariande/CaptMirelia)->Tidalwave. Total Grimcount of 4 for your first Lvl3.
Idea 2): It helps dodge shade, but also prevents OwlSage from genning SP that turn.
Tidal on a lvl2 already gives a +1SP lead on the SP Curve. If OwlSage gens SP that turn thats a +2SP lead... In early stage buildup that's really too much imo.
Idea 3): Still allows some form of buildup. There are enough rush vs. rush moments to use Tidal, but it keeps atleast 2 units on the field. It prevents those Tidals for easy iczer attacks or other reasons beyond aquiring fieldadvantage. ("just because it'll cost another 2SP to play for my 1SP" "Killing it gives him back the SP" etc.) It's a lvl1 card. Use it to gain fieldadvantage, not to completely avoid fights where and whenever there's a lvl2 laying on the field.
Idea 4): Nomore SP lead at the sacrifice of a random Grim. Just like Return it's directly balanced by its cost, not by an effect that may -or may not- matter at that particulair time it's being played.
Idea 5): Only the Grimoires made to counter specific situations. Think of MiracleFruit(Agi+1).
The fact you 1) get the right matchup for the specific counter. 2) predicted the SS/Grimoire, and the timing. 3) pay the SP cost. Should NOT make another 50/50 coinflip if it'll stop what it's meant to stop. Nothing frustrates more then actually having a matchup where the counter is usable and it still fails to stop the effect from happening, dispite skillful play and timing. At which point it becomes really hard to justify the space it occupies.
Indirect Nerfs.
Lvl2&3 Units with Rankup effect "This unit gets lvl+1".
Lvl2 Units that are "immune to Grimoires".
A Lvl1, 30HP/0AT/5Def/1Agi/2Rng.
- Openskill: One friendly unit gets Lvl+1.
- Autoskill: [Conditional: This unit is in Frontrow] No Grimoires can be set Next Turn.
- Closeskill: Send this unit back to your Cardfile. You get +1 SP.
Idea 6): Rankup happens before Openskills, effectively raising a units level above Tidal requirement.
Idea 7): Doesn't need explaining. However this idea has been rejected before on FolrartShieldKnight as proper buff....
Idea 8): You need to kill it/move it from frontrow... or Tidal a Lvl1. Not the most difficult to counter, but can be good cannonfodder that helps delaying.
This will undoubtly result in a discussion between people wanting to keep Tidalwave the way it is, and people who grew tired of it.
Let me just tell this upfront: A healthy enviroment changes the meta and meta cards regulairy. It's to keep things fresh and surprising. You get a healthy circulation of cards for a wide viarity of playstyles and diversity. And this game has done so. It added counters to current meta en mechanics, applied nerfs and introduced new cards. Even the lesser encountered "send to cemetery" effect has direct counters, but "send to Cardfile" still does not? Explain to me how that happened.................. I think it's about time.
Looking at the same effect from 6 years ago and still not being able to stop it from happening becomes nothing less then a growing source of frustration.
People adjust their play around it, change their openings around it (which lead to ALOT of predictable predetermined openings in Folrart), but they're still not countering that tidal from selecting your lvl2 and being returned back into your file.

Few positions have undergone as much offseason change across the board than Nebraska's linebackers. Not only did the unit lose its most experienced member to the NFL in Phillip Dillard, it also had its Buck linebacker spot all but completely erased from the defense in place of the new "peso" position.
As a result, the Huskers are entering fall camp with a stable of young contenders fighting for playing time. This can only be a good thing. Here's a look at the competition at linebacker coming into the season.

The state's insurance companies and the top state regulator have agreed that homeowner's insurance policies can rise by a statewide average of 7 percent starting in July. But if you live on the coast expect to pay a lot more than that.
Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin signed a settlement agreement Tuesday for less than the nearly 18 percent increase the North Carolina Rate Bureau had requested in October.
The last homeowner's insurance rate increase took effect in 2009. The insurance companies had sought a nearly 20 percent statewide average increase then, but settled for 4 percent.
Homeowner's insurance rates this year will be allowed to increase by as little as 1 percent in Winston-Salem and Greensboro and by as much as almost 20 percent for homes along the beach in Brunswick, Carteret, New Hanover, Onslow and Pender counties.
Those along the Outer Banks will pay 17% more, while homeowners in inland counties, such as Greene, Lenoir, Martin and Pitt, will see a 7.4% hike.

This weekend is all about tiki culture. Its Hukilau, a weekend dedicated solely to the South Pacific-inspired tiki culture of the 1950s, spearheaded by one of the most revered spaces of the tiki brethren, Mai-Kai in Fort Lauderdale. People from all over the world flock to Fort Lauderdale to sip on Allspice Dram-infused cocktails embellished with mini umbrellas while putting on their best Don the Beachcomber impressions and kicking it at the thatched-roof joint. The four-day tiki festival, held June 6-9, is one of the largest of its kind and a great time, no matter if you're dedicated to the mid-century vibe or not.
To celebrate Hakilau, we're cutting loose tiki-style by reprising some of our favorite tiki-inspired cocktails for your drinking pleasure. To prime the rum pump, there's a Mai-Kai original, just to all-spice it up. Enjoy!
Cheers to Mai-Kai!
A Hukilau celebration would be for naught without raising a glass to the tiki icon, Mai-Kai. A South Florida original, Mai-Kai is a Polynesian-themed restaurant that opened in Fort Lauderdale in 1956 at the height of America's tiki bar craze. The local landmark is still standing, a bit bigger at the belt, and holding true to its Polynesian-infused South Florida roots.
The Derby Daiquiri was created in 1959—the golden age of cocktail culture—and originally submitted to a contest sponsored by the Florida Derby to find a signature cocktail for the race. After winning the hearts (and palates) of race fans, the rest, as they say, is history.
Here is the original recipe, which serves 6, as submitted to the Florida Derby:
Derby Daiquiri
- 2 oz. lime juice
- 4 oz. orange juice
- 1 tbs. sugar
- 6 oz. white Puerto Rican rum
Fill blender half full with ice. Add ingredients and blend for about ten seconds, serve in chilled cocktail glasses.

Friday Happy Hour: Get Tiki with it!
The Nui Nui is a classic tiki cocktail, originally hailing from Don the Beachcomber circa 1937, with a solid infusion of tropical flavors. The key ingredient in this recipe is Allspice Dram, a spicy add that really gives the drink its character. This is a hard-to-find barroom addition, with St. Elizabeth's making the best on the market. If you can't come across Allspice Dram, try Don's Spices #2 (made by B.G. Reynolds), a concoction that essentially boils down to equal parts vanilla syrup and Allspice Dram (or Jamaican pimento dram). If all else fails, below is a recipe for a DIY Allspice Dram. (Be warned: This is a time-consuming project that requires a few weeks to settle for best flavor.) But if you are serious about your tiki drinks, then Allspice Dram is a must for the bar—a strong and spicy counterpoint to rum and the typically sweet, tropical ingredients.
Nui Nui
Serves 2
- 4 oz. aged Virgin Islands rum
- 1 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice
- ½ oz. cinnamon syrup
- 1½ tsp. vanilla syrup*
- 1½ tsp. Allspice Dram*
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 8 oz. crushed ice
*Or ½ oz. Don's Spice #2 in substitution for both.
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until frothy. Pour into two Collins glasses and crushed ice to fill. Garnish with an orange wedge or peel. Huli Pau! (Bottoms Up!)
DIY Allspice Dram (for the truly dedicated)
- 1 cup light rum
- ¼ cup whole allspice berries
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1½ cup water
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
Crush allspice berries to a coarse consistency. Put berries in a Ball jar, pour in rum, shake, seal and let the mixture steep for two to four days, agitating and shaking daily. After steeping, break up the cinnamon stick and add to the mixture; let sit for another 10 days.
After steeping, strain out allspice and cinnamon (a coffee filter will help remove the tiny pieces) into a jar.
In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil over medium heat, dissolving sugar. Let cool, and then add to strained allspice syrup. Shake and let sit for another day or two before using. Makes about three cups.
Saturday is for Standards
For Saturday's tiki-themed sip, we looked to the cocktail trade's standard-bearer, the International Bartenders Association, for a rum-heavy IBA official cocktail. What we found was a classic fruit bevvy perfect for summer. Falling under "The Unforgettables" category, the Planter's Punch is a classic long drink (Collins type) with plenty of tropical flavors and a hearty dose of rum to keep the tiki times ticking along.
Planter's Punch
- 1½ oz. dark rum
- 1 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 oz. fresh pineapple juice
- 2/3 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 oz. grenadine
- 1/3 oz. sugar syrup
- 3 to 4 dashes Angostura bitters
Pour all ingredients, except bitters, into a shaker filled with ice, and shake well. Pour into Collins glass filled with ice. Add Angostura bitters on top. Garnish with cocktail cherry and pineapple.
*Recipe courtesy of IBA
Sunday Funday: Ease the Pain
After two days of imbibing on rum, some might be on lookout for something to dull the pain. The Painkiller will certainly do what the name implies, but there is no reprieve from rum, folks. Big on tropical flavors—this classic tiki cocktail is the perfect complement to your hand this Sunday afternoon. Enjoy!
- 2 oz. aged rum
- 2 oz. fresh pineapple juice
- 1 oz. Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut
- 1 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice
Shake ingredients and pour over ice in a double Old Fashioned or Collins glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and grated nutmeg for a hint of spice.

Tools of the Trade
Become a master mixologist, or at least look like one, with the tools that make the trade.
- Muddler: This little tenderizing stick is a godsend and a must for any home bar. If fruity cocktails are in your future, the muddler is the only way to unlock fruits' flavor.
- Handheld Citrus Juicer: nothing beats freshly squeezed juice, but it be a pain. Invest in a handheld citrus juicer, they are cheap and do the trick tout de suite.
- Cocktail Shaker: Don't be a chump, stirring your martini like a noob; purchase a nice shaker and become a master home barkeep.
- Jigger: This little apparati will make mixing the perfect drink as easy as pie, equipped with a 1½ oz. and 1 oz. cups for perfectly measured pours every time.

Last weekend the Advanced Players League (APL) in local cricket started in Dar es Salaam with four teams - Castle Rockets, BMTL Super Kings, Tata Super Aces and Uhuru One Rangers competing for the title.
There is great anticipation and excitement surrounding this year's edition of the event as Kenyan legends such as Steve Tikolo and Thomas Odoyo as well as players from the South African High Performance Academy will feature for some of the teams in the premier cricket championship on the local scene.
This is not the first time that foreign stars have been invited to strut their stuff on the local scene as one could tentatively argue that, the Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA) has done this in a bid to expose our local players to more experienced cricketers in the hope that, they will improve their skills.
In the wider context though, local cricket has unquestionably made massive strides in both the men's and the women's game. Thanks to the efforts of the TCA, the national under-19 women's team admirably won the inaugural African Under -19 women's championship last year, despite the fact that the women's game on the local scene is still in its nascent stages.
And as if to prove that this outstanding sporting feat was not a flash in the pan, the national senior women's team finished second in the African T20 women's championship in Uganda last year. At this juncture, it is important to remember that all this success has been achieved without the firm foundation that other sports on the local scene take for granted.
Indeed, in contrast to the likes of football and basketball, cricket traditionally has never commanded a wide following as it was seen as a sport reserved for a select segment of the society.
However, this fact did not sit well with the TCA, which over the past decade, has tirelessly sought to broaden the fan base of the sport with spectacular results.
It could be said that the abysmal performances of local sportsmen and sportswomen at international events have almost made us defeatist in our attitude, and resigned to the mediocrity which we have seen in recent years.
Nonetheless, the sterling success achieved in cricket demonstrates that Tanzania is abundantly blessed with sporting talents, which if harnessed, can help us to become a veritable sporting powerhouse.

Smarthinking tutoring system now available to all students
Submitted on April 18, 2011 at 9:11 AM
The Smarthinking tutoring system is a new way for Vol State students to get help with homework and assignments and it's available 24 hours a day and seven days a week in many cases. Smarthinking is an online tutoring service that Vol State started using in a few courses last year and has just expanded to the entire campus. Smarthinking provides tutoring in mathematics (basic math through calculus, including bilingual math), biology, A & P, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, economics, accounting, finance, statistics, Spanish, and writing.
Study results from Vol State classes show that it may help students do better in coursework. Students say they like the service, calling it "easy to use" and "helpful." While the study didn't necessarily show improvements in individual assignments, students in the study group who used Smarthinking had increased odds for success in the course. Faculty surveys show that instructors also value the system and plan to recommend it to students.
Smarthinking is run by a private company, which Vol State contracts with for the service. It is being used by colleges and universities across the country. There is one warning though: everyone is advised that the proper e-mail address to use the system is:
It's important that you use only one "T" in the address. Using two "T"s will take you to a site that has questionable motives and may try to charge for tutoring services. Smarthinking is free for Vol State students- they only need a Vol State e-mail address and their V-number to log-in.
For more information on how to get started visit the Vol State Smarthinking web page:

Have you given thought to what bridal accessories you want to wear on your wedding day? Most brides find a sentimental heirloom they plan to incorporate into their bridal wedding day attire. When you're planning your wedding day outfit, don't forget the essentials: underwear, hair accessories, earrings, necklace, bracelets and shoes. Winter brides might choose to add extra layers such as tights or a wedding muff. For wedding day jewelry, your left hand is bare in preparation for the wedding band. The right hand can have a family heirloom or "something blue" ring. Sapphires are popular for wedding jewelry because they're a simply way to add a blue accent.

When it comes to wedding hair your stylist will walk you all the possibilities. Tiaras, headbands and veils are only some of the beautiful accessories that are popular today. Cultural weddings typically incorporate more accessories so be sure to ask your family and your groom's family what traditional attire you might be asked to wear. There are no rules saying that you can't change your hair and makeup for the reception, so mix and match looks for each event. Try wearing a traditional veil for your ceremony and letting your hair down with a brooch for the reception! All eyes will be on you so be sure to smile and enjoy the attention.

text: The sign read "No religion should be for discrimination." That about sums up my feeling about the proposed Arizona law that would have allowed businesses to refuse service to gays because it's against their religious beliefs. It was vetoed by Arizona's governor last week, but the fact that it got so much support from so-called Christian groups is downright appalling. I mean isn't that a bit oxymoronic, practitioners of religion practicing intolerance and then wanting to have a law that backs up that intolerance? My understanding of Christianity is that we are supposed to be tolerant of others. Jesus summed up the commandments to two: love of God and love your neighbor as yourself. Continue Reading →

text: Sir Cliff Richard, OBE (born Harry Rodger Webb; 14 October 1940) is a British pop singer, musician, performer, actor, and philanthropist who has sold over an estimated 250 million records worldwide. With his backing group The Shadows, Richard, originally positioned as a rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Little Richard and Elvis Presley, dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950s and early 1960s. His 1958 hit single "Move It" is often described as Britain''s first authentic rock and roll song, and John Lennon once claimed that "before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music." A conversion to Christianity and subsequent softening of his music later led to a more middle of the road pop image, sometimes venturing into gospel music. Over a 53-year career, Richard has become a fixture of the British entertainment world. He has amassed hundreds of gold and platinum discs and awards, including three Brit awards and two Ivor Novello awards. He has had more than 130 singles, albums and EPs make the UK Top 20, more than any other artist. He holds the record (with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its first six decades (1950sÔ[][]2000s). He has achieved 14 UK No. 1 singles (or 18, depending on the counting methodology) and is the only singer to have had a No. 1 single in the UK in six consecutive decades: the 1950s through to the 2000s (discounting digital downloads and counting only CDs, he also had a UK No. 1 single in the 2000s). He is the biggest selling singles artist of all time in the UK, with total sales of over 27┬ámillion and UK album sales of over 18┬ámillion. He has sold more than 150┬ámillion singles worldwide.[citation needed]

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about Electric Radiant Floor Heating. Here we answer some of the most common questions asked by our customers over the years. These are general questions and we have considerably more detailed answers covered in the section dedicated to each specific floor warming product. Browse our site for specific product details, installation videos and detailed instruction manuals.
- Is Electric Floor warming SAFE ?
- How does Electric Radiant Floor Heating Work?
- How long can we expect our floor heating system to last?
- How much electricity does electric floor heating use?
- What are the Voltage and Amperage requirements for floor heating?
- Are your floor warming systems easy to install?
- What type of flooring can I install over electric floor heating systems?
- Should I insulate under the floor warming system?
- Why do you offer more than one floor warming system?
- Can I buy floor warming direct from you?
- Can I cut the floor heating wire shorter?
- Can I Splice mats together?
Yes! At least we can say that about the systems we sell, since they have all passed more safety tests than any of our competitors. UL, ETL and CSA certifications, Robinson Floor Test (for durability) and rated by The Tile Council of North America (SunTouch) attest to the safety of our products. All our Thermostats have been safety certified by independent testing agencies and all include GFCI protection BUILT-IN for shock protection. And, unlike our competitors, have NEVER had a safety recall for our electric floor heating products. [return to top]How does Electric Radiant Floor Heating Work?
The heating wires are specially engineered and designed so they provide heat via the specific wire's electrical resistance. Special insulation is used to provide protection and durability to the heating wires. When the thermostat is turned on (or the timer is activated) electricity is sent to the floor heating system, the wires heat up, and in turn heats up the floor. This heat then radiates from the ground up throughout the room, heating objects and people within the heated area. That's exactly what you want from your system; a warm floor and a warm body; energy is not wasted heating up air that then rises to the ceiling and is lost. [return to top]How long can we expect our indoor floor heating system to last?
All of our indoor systems carry at least a 25 Year warranty and are backed by strong manufacturers who have been in the floor heating business for 20 to 78 years. With the superior wire construction these companies use, the systems have a long expected life, considering they are encased and protected within the mortar under the flooring. A warranty of less than 25 years is simply nonsense! [return to top]How much electricity does electric floor heating use?
Not very much. And our Programmable Thermostats have energy star ratings for the greatest efficiency. All of our mat systems operate at 12 watts per Sq Ft, so 20 Sq Ft only requires 240 watts, the same as a few light bulbs. Our uniform wire spacing optimizes the heat output and saves a lot of energy over a 15 watt system. A typical installation in a 60 SF bathroom will cost 10 to 20 cents per day. See our Energy use calculator for specifics. [return to top]What are the Voltage and Amperage requirements for floor heating?
Both 110/120 & 220/240 systems are available. Mats are 12 watts per Sq Ft, which means you can control up to 150 Sq Ft of floor warming at 120v (and twice that (300 SF) for 240v) per circuit. Each circuit has a 15 amp maximum, and 1 thermostat control is required per 15 amp circuit. A dedicated circuit is recommended, but very small systems of 20 SF only require approx. 2 amps, so you may be able to add on to an existing circuit; a licensed electrician will know the answer for your project. [return to top]Are your floor warming systems easy to install?
Our systems are easy to install, safe to use. Some of our products are so easy to work with that even a weekend do-it-yourselfer can install them. Over 50% of Floor warming installations are done by First Time Installers. Or, your own contractor can easily manage installation with the help of our "how to" DVD's, and complete, step-by-step installation instructions. Either way, we are here to answer any questions or provide installation tips—for you and your contractor. [return to top]What type of flooring can I install over electric floor heating systems?
Virtually any floor covering can be heated by our systems. While tile and stone floors are the most common heated floors, you can also heat hardwood floors (glued or floated), Laminates, Vinyl or linoleum, Bamboo, Cork, even carpet. Concrete floors can also be heated by placing one system within the new concrete pour. Be sure to read the installation instructions for specifics of how to properly install floor heat for your particular application and floor covering. Or, call us toll free and we'll answer all your radiant floor heating questions! [return to top]Should I insulate under the floor warming system?
In most cases, the insulation that is already in your floor will be adequate. If there is no insulation under your frame floor, we do recommend adding it.
For Concrete floors, we always recommend Cork insulation. Concrete slabs absorb part of the heat generated by the floor warming system so less heat is transferred to the flooring. Heat always moves toward colder surfaces, so it goes both up & down when the floor warming system is in direct contact with a slab. But, adding a simple layer of cork between the slab & floor heating provides a "thermal break" slowing the flow of heat into the slab and allowing MORE HEAT transfer into the flooring quicker. Installing insulation on top of slab translates into more heat, faster response times and less energy used; a wise investment. And OUR cork is Engineered, Tested and Approved for use under tile and wood floors.
There are a few other insulation materials available, but Cork is our favorite, since it is a natural product and a renewable resource, unlike other insulating products. And you can buy this specially engineered Cork insulation directly from us. [return to top]Why do you offer more than one floor warming system?
In our 8 years selling Electric Radiant Heating Systems, we have found that no single manufacturer offers a complete solution for every project. We've researched a number of radiant floor heating products available on the market, and have chosen to carry only the highest quality products from the top manufacturers. There are cheaper radiant heat floor warming products on the market, but we won't sell them. We've researched, tested, and installed all of the products we carry. And we're confident that they are the best products for the money. But most importantly, we're passionate about adding warmth to your home. From the ground up. Making sure you chose the right product for your specific application is only one of the ways we assure you're completely satisfied with your new warm floor. [return to top]Can I buy floor warming direct from you?
Absolutely. Warm Your Floor has the largest inventory of floor warming products in the U.S., in stock and ready for immediate delivery. That means your project won't meet costly delays waiting for product to arrive. Send us your room layout, and we'll recommend, design and quote a floor-warming system specifically for you. [return to top]Can I cut the floor heating wire shorter?
No. Never. Period. You may cut the mesh mat, but never the heating element. You may also shorten the cold lead or the thermostat sensor wire, but DO NOT cut the heating wire on purpose. If you cut the wire by mistake, we offer a special Wire Repair Kit. [return to top]Can I Splice mats together?
No; all mats "home run" back to the thermostat. The mats do not connect end-to-end. We have mats in over 70 sizes and many length and width combinations to cover any size or shape room. [return to top]
