Blog Creates Vegan Versions Of Top Chef: Just Desserts Recipes
September 29, 2010 08:19 AM by Rebecca Ford
The desserts presented on Top Chef: Just Desserts look really, really good. Every. single. dish. But for the vegans of the world, these desserts, packed with eggs and milk, become inedible. So a vegan website it taking on the task of veganizing each episodes winning dish.
The website, Vegansaurus, is enlisting some of the best vegan chefs to help change the weekly winning recipes from Top Chef: Just Desserts into friendly, non-dairy versions. These vegan bakers will write out the vegan recipes and take photos of their own vegan concoctions.
The first week's recipe was made by the creator of the blog, VegNews Editor-At-Large Laura Hooper Beck. The second week's recipe was created by the owner of Vegan Feast Catering, Janet Hudson. I would love to hear from regular people who tried to make these recipes to see if they tasted as good as the desserts on Top Chef look.
If you're looking for some vegan recipes of the scrumptious winning dishes on the show, this is the place to go! Do we see another spin-off in the making? Top Chef: Vegan?!
The first season of Top Chef: Just Desserts has only aired two episodes, but it's already packed with meltdowns (thanks Seth!) and plenty of delicious looking desserts. It airs Wednesday on Bravo.

Los Angeles, CA – June 26, 2012 – Kiva City Los Angeles, an initiative that enables anyone with access to the internet a chance to support small business owners, local economies, and local jobs in Los Angeles launched today.
Coalition Supporting New "Kiva New Orleans" Initiative Is First Major Community-Driven Effort With Goal of Bringing More Than $500,000 in Microloans to New Orleans Small Businesses; Includes Good Work Network, ASI Federal Credit Union, Kiva.org and Generation Louisiana
DETROIT, MI - Jun 30, 2011 - Michigan Corps, a network of local and global Michiganders committed to positive change in their home state, has created a coalition of non-profits to launch "Kiva Detroit," a first-of-its-kind program that enables locals in the community to support rebuilding the Detroit economy by making microloans to local small businesses.
Kiva.org, the world's first personal microlending website, and Visa Inc., a global leader in payments, today announced Kiva City, a new program that will extend small business access to microloans in U.S. cities with the greatest need. The Kiva City program is the latest component of Visa's partnership with Kiva to help U.S. small businesses by expanding their awareness and understanding of microfinance opportunities. The Kiva City program, kicking off in Detroit, was launched as part of a commitment announced today by President Bill Clinton on stage at the Clinton Global Initiative America conference in Chicago.
San Francisco, CA - May 4, 2011 - Kiva.org, the world's largest personal micro-lending website, has announced the launch of a new loan category: Kiva Green Loans. Green Loans enable the Kiva community to more easily locate and lend as little as $25 to green businesses and individuals around the world, as they make the transition to cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. Kiva Green Loans include both business and personal loans that contribute towards reducing energy expenditures, minimizing waste and pollution, recycling, or re-purposing used materials – all of which work toward the greater goal of alleviating energy poverty and helping the environment.
San Francisco, CA – April 5, 2011 – Kiva.org, the world's first personal micro-lending website, today announced that it has facilitated over $200 million in loans globally. This milestone comes just a little over a year after Kiva reached $100 million in loans, signifying that in the past year alone, the Kiva community has loaned an equal amount to the world's poor in one year as they had in the previous four years of Kiva's history combined.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - January 25, 2011) - Meedan, a leading Arabic-English translation technology company announced today it is providing free Arabic translation for microloans on Kiva.org.
The move will help expand the reach of Kiva and its lenders directly into the heart of the Arabic-speaking world, extending a global community of micro-lenders to include thousands of Arabic-speaking aspiring entrepreneurs. Under the program funded by Cisco, Meedan will provide expert translation and strategic guidance to Kiva.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - January 6, 2011) - Kiva.org, the world's largest personal microlendingwebsite, announced today with professional skin care brand Dermalogica, actress and advocate Geena Davis, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and women's clothier Eileen Fisher and others, the launch of a novel campaign to provide micro loans to women entrepreneurs in low-income regions of the United States and 56 other countries.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 20, 2010 – Kiva.org, the world's first personal micro-lending website, and Visa Inc. (NYSE: V), a global payments technology company, today announced a partnership to help U.S. small businesses access and benefit from microloans. Supported by a $1 million contribution from Visa, the partnership expands the reach of Kiva's pioneering microlending model within the United States to further empower small businesses and support job creation. The announcement coincides with a major Kiva expansion in the Gulf Coast through the addition of ACCION Texas-Louisiana, the largest microfinance institution in the country, to the Kiva Field Partners network.
September 20, 2010, SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Kiva.org, the world's first personal micro-lending website, has announced a pilot of Student Microloans on Kiva.org. Beginning today on Kiva.org, anyone can lend as little as $25 to students in three countries around the world. Founded as a means to combine the impact of microfinance with the utility of technology, Kiva is in a unique position to help lenders make a personal difference -- easily, quickly and effectively -- first with small business microloans and now with student microloans.
August 12, 2010, REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Omidyar Network today announced it has committed $5 million over three years to microlending pioneer Kiva.org. During the first two years of the grant, Omidyar Network will match up to $2 million of online donations from individual Kiva lenders. Amy Klement, Vice President, Investments at Omidyar Network, will join Kiva's board of directors.
San Francisco, CA – April 21, 2010 – Kiva.org, the world's first micro-lending website, today announced it has embedded two new Facebook Social Plugins to create a more personalized, social experience on Kiva.org. The new features on Kiva.org will allow users to connect with friends and share their Kiva experience with others.
San Francisco, CA – November 2, 2009 – October marks two considerable milestones for Kiva.org – the world's first micro-lending website for the working poor. This month, Kiva.org celebrates its fourth anniversary, in addition to reaching over $100 million dollars in loans.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - September 28, 2009 - Kiva.org -- the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website -- today announced a landmark partnership with Moody's Corporation to bring their credit ratings and risk management expertise to online microfinance.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - June 10, 2009 - Kiva.org -- the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website -- has launched a pilot expansion in the United States, allowing individuals anywhere to make small loans to U.S. entrepreneurs through the Kiva.org website.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - April 20, 2009 - This Mother's Day, mothers are supporting other mothers by investing in their businesses with Kiva Gift Certificates. The perfect gift that keeps on giving, Kiva Gift Certificates stimulate the global economy by providing loans to working mothers across the globe who are entrepreneurs lifting themselves out of poverty.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - July 16, 2008 - Gift givers can still afford a "gift that keeps on giving" this holiday season, without blowing the budget when times are tight.
While rising gas prices and a credit crisis will force many people to spend carefully this holiday season, Kiva Gift Certificates prove that you can still achieve the "double bottom line" in your gift inventory this year - giving a unique and fun gift that helps those in need, and providing the recipient with the opportunity to "recycle" his/her loan.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - April 2, 2008 - Just as YouTube has changed the way we watch video and Wikipedia has changed the way we find information, Kiva.org - the world's first online person-to-person microlending platform - is changing the way we give back. Since launching less than 2 1/2 years ago, Kiva.org has created a micro-lending movement, whose members are sending $1 million to the developing world every 12 days.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - October 17, 2007 - From increasing its total loan portfolio to more than $13 million to reach 20,000 entrepreneurs in developing countries, to an invitation to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting, to an endorsement by President Clinton in his new book, "Giving," Kiva.org marked its two-year anniversary today in a very big way. Its second year of unprecedented growth has affected an exponentially growing number of lenders and entrepreneurs and received support from more than 130,000 individuals around the globe, including President Clinton and Oprah Winfrey.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - September 5, 2007 -Want to give a gift that will truly change someone's life this holiday season? Kiva.org, the world's first microlending website, lets individuals purchase gift certificates for friends and family, allowing them to make a loan directly to an entrepreneur in the developing world.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - October 17, 2006 -Kiva.org, the first person-to-person micro-lending Web site that enables an individual to finance a micro-entrepreneur in the developing world, marked its first year anniversary. Since its launch, Kiva.org has become known as "the merger between Microfinance and Web 2.0" due to its ability to create a transparent, connective and affordable option for anyone on the Internet to lend directly to the working poor. Inspired by Mohammad Yunus and Grameen Bank, Kiva's aspiration was to take microfinance online; in just one year, the organization has been widely recognized as the leader in online microfinance, has attracted a significant base of lenders, borrowers and partners, has built a staff and board of directors, and has received accolades from the press and industry leaders.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - October 12, 2005 - Kiva, the first non-profit organization to enable individuals to make personal loans to microenterprises in developing countries, launched its Web site today. For the first time, Kiva.org opens the Internet to people looking for a personal, high-engagement means of taking steps to eradicate poverty in developing countries by lending money directly to small businesses.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not ... when running a sync there's a couple of anomalies (quite possibly these are covered somewhere I haven't looked as well).
Anyway ... none of my folders get created on the client side that I have on my server or through the web client so everything gets put into Inbox. Also, it seems that the messages do not retain their properties IE mail I've already read shows up as unread email.
Is this just the nature of the client? What things are sync'd between server and ZDesktop? (mail filters, folders, messages etc).
Just a a recon post :D

I'm sure this has been asked many, many times, but although I've searched the forum I've not found any posts explaining just how to set this up.
I'm setting up a new Zimbra server, aiming to integrate it with Active Directory. Authentication appears to be working fine, but when it comes to the GAL I'm stuck. I don't have an in depth knowledge of LDAP, which I think is part of the problem.
However, I think there may be something wrong with the Zimbra setup too since as soon as I try to configure the GAL using the GAL Configuration Wizard, a warning is appearing in the Wizard saying:
"Warning: GAL data sources are not configured for this domain."
This doesn't appear to stop the wizard running though, and I'm unsure if the GAL data source will be created automatically. All the examples I can find for creating these from the command line appear to be repeating settings that will be entered in the Wizard.
Apart from that warning, I have a number of quite basic questions about the details the wizard needs:
1. How do I add a GAL data source to fix that warning?
2. Is the GAL sync account an account in Zimbra, or Active Directory?
3. What is the data source name for the external GAL?
4. I assume external server name is simply the DNS name of my AD server?
5. What is the LDAP search base? Do I just enter (dc=mydomain,dc=com)?
6. What is the Bind DN? Is this an Active Directory account?
7. Am I ok to leave the Sync settings the same as the search settings?
8. What is the search term on the final page?
I know these are all basic, but I've read the documentation, the wiki and the forums. Despite hours of reading I can't find explanations for any of these.

One of the last things I saw before leaving the office last night was stealing a glimpse at the TV and watching Jay Bruce step in against Roy Halladay in the fifth inning.
On a 2-2 count, Halladay threw a pitch that froze Bruce. It was tantalizingly close, a call that maybe could have gone either way. "That's a strike," I muttered to myself. But it was called a ball and Bruce then worked a walk.
That's how close Roy Halladay came to throwing his second perfect game of the season. As it was, Bruce was the only member of the completely overmatched Reds lineup to reach base.
Halladay faced only 28 batters in becoming the second pitcher in major league history to throw a no-hitter in the playoffs. Don Larsen had stood alone since his perfect game in the 1956 World Series for the Yankees against the Dodgers.
In the meantime, I had other problems. It dawned on my as I was driving home that I might not get there in time to witness the end of Halladay's gem. That's how quickly he was mowing down the Reds.
But I also knew I was about to face another issue as well. I decided to call the home front (yes, I was using a hand-held cell phone while driving) and alert my wife to what was going on.
She is a huge Philly fans. And liekj every one else she has a serious case of Phillies Phever. For some reason it spikes every time Cole Hamels is pitching.�But she is also something of a worry-wort. That's especially so during Phillies games, and even more so on the playoffs.
"Tell me you're watching the game," I said after she picked up the phone.
"Does he still have a no-hitter?" was the response.
"Uh, yeah," I said. "Aren't you watching?"
"I'm too nervous," was the reply. She had resorted to occasionally flipping over and checking the score.
I finally rushed into the house as the Phillies batted during the eighth inning.
She did not have the game on.
"Let me have the remote," I intoned.
"I can't watch this," was the reply.
The two of us sat in the kitchen and watched a little bit of history, my wife nervous as a cat the whole time.
I can only imagine what might happen should her hero, Mr. Hamels, do likewise when he takes the mound Sunday night. Of course she won't have that problem then. Because I'll likely be watching the Eagles and flipping over to the Phils for updates.
After Carlos Ruiz jumped on the dribbler in front of the plate and fired to first to finish off the Reds, we simply looked at each other and smiled.
There was no one I'd rather have shared that moment with, in part because she has forgone so many other similar moments while I was at work.
Of course, she understood immediately that my next reaction was to pick up the phone and call the office.
An entire day's work had just gone right out the window.
We needed to welcome "Mr. Doc-tober."
Seeing a day's work go down the drain never felt so good.
It took Roy Halladay 13 full seasons to finally get a taste of post-season playoff baseball.
Savor it, Mr. Halladay, it was worth the wait.
"Mr. Doc-tober" took the hill last night in his first playoff start and was, in a word, unhittable.
"Doc" performed surgery, tossing only the second�post-season no-hitter in Major League Baseball history�on what had been the best offensive lineup in the National League.
Simply put, the Reds were no match for Halladay, who also knocked in a run during the Phils' 4-0 win.
Halladay joins some elite company, becoming only the second pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the post-season. He now sits on that lofty perch with Don Larsen, who threw a perfect game for the Yankees against the Dodgers in the 1956 World Series.
Halladay was in command from the start, the only blemish a walk on a 3-2 pitch to Jay Bruce in the fifth inning.
The final out was recorded when Brandon Phillips hit a tapper in front of the plate, which catcher Carlos Ruiz pounced on and threw to Ryan Howard from his knees.
Citizens Bank Park, jammed with more than 46,000 fans waving white Phillies rally towels, surged with the kind of electricity found in very few events.
They had just witnessed history. Or, you might say, Histo-Roy.
The Daily Numbers (Roy Halladay Edition): 2 major league pitchers who have pitched no-hitters in the post-season. Halladay joins Don Larsen, who tossed a perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
1 Cincinnati Red to reach base. Jay Bruce worked a walk in the 5th, after it looked like Halladay may have had him struck out on a 2-2 pitch.
2 no-hitters thrown by Halladay this year. He uncorked a perfect game against the Marlins on May 29.
5 no-hitters in the Major Leagues this year, inlcuding the perfect game by Halladay.
8 strikeouts for Halladay in cruising to a 4-0 win.
1 RBI for the pitcher, the only time in Major League Baseball playoffs history that a pitcher has had more hits than he allowed.
104 pitches for Halladay, 79 for strikes.
12 seasons Halladay spent with the Toronto Blue Jays, 0 appearances in the playoffs until this year.
5 pitchers who have thrown two no-hitters in the same year.
1967, the last time a pitcher came close to a no-no in the post-season, when Jim Lonborg 2 outs into the 7th before giving up a hit for the Reds Sox against the Cards.
.272, the Reds National League best batting average coming into the game.
17 of the first 18 batters he faced to which Halladay fired a strike on the 1st pitch.
1 more Roy up next for the Phils. Roy Oswalt takes the mound Friday night.
22 wins this year for Halladay.
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Red Doc-tober. Thanks for the memory, Roy.
I Don't Get It: Cincinnati Reds shortstop Orlando Cabrera complained about the umpiring after the game. Nice.
Today's Upper: What exactly does Halladay do for an encore?
Quote Box: "It's no fun out there. It's like trying to hit nothing."

Hey guys,
I'd love to offer ZIMBRA to my customers as an added value service. I am wondering if someone could please explain to me what the main differences in the "network" edition and the opensource are? (aside from the obvious huge price gaps).
Also if there are any major hurdles you could foresee, please feel free to add to the topic
Thanks in advance

Hello all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this since I didn't find any "suggestion" subforum.
We are deploying zimbra here, and we are a cultural center, we mainly organise concerts, expos, and other kind of events. We are planning mainly to use the Wiki, to share some documents over the network (and outside) related to the artist that is going to be produced, and each artist will have it's own wiki page (this will be technical info for a certain group, not public at all).
The problem that I have found is that we have a template already prepared inside zimbra for this and it's working very well. But there isn't ANY way to duplicate a wiki page and then edit it to complete the right info. That would be a very important thing I beleive... otherwise we will be forced to start everytime from scratch since there is a spreadsheet inside and you can't just copy paste that.
Is this in the pipeline ? to be able to duplicate a wiki page ?
P.S : the spreadsheet can be copy/pasted, my bad, but doesn't seem to be editable anymore like the spreadsheet menu.
P.S.S : In fact yes it is... so this is cooled than I expected... but a duplicate page would be very nice if it's not too much work. :D God I love this Zimbra thing :)


text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor According to recent news released by the United States Postal Service, hours at some rural post offices through the country could be reduced as plans move forward to cut costs. Several post offices in western Nebraska could be affected by a proposal to cut hours of operation. In Perkins County, The post offices in Venango, Madrid and Elsie could be cut to four hours of operation. Wallace Post Office in Lincoln County is also on the list for four-hour operation. According to Brian Sperry, spokesperson for the USPS, a survey will be circulated in communities that might be affected. In order to give residents a chance to voice their opinion, public meetings will be held over the next two years in those rural communities. The survey gives residents four options. They include: 1) keep the post office open and reduce hours of operation, 2) establish curbside pickup, 3) place a post office in a local business, or 4) establish box service at a post office in a nearby community. Letters and surveys will be sent out 30 days prior to the community meeting, according to Sperry. A schedule of meetings for the postal patrons in Venango, Madrid, Elsie and Wallace has not been released.

Clean Bottle Team Edition Water Bottle $0.00
The Clean Bottle is the million-dollar idea we all wish we'd thought of. Instead, it was Dave. You may not know Dave, but if you've watched a Tour de France mountain stage in the last two years you've seen his alter ego, Bottle Boy, the oversized version of the Clean Bottle.
The Clean Bottle isn't
rocket science, but it is ingenious. The 100% non-toxic, BPA-free Clean
Bottle unscrews at both ends to make cleaning a breeze. Even the nozzle
is removable, giving germs no place to hide once the scrub brush comes
out. Each end of the bottle has a leak-proof silicone washer. And, feel
free to stuff the 22 ounce bottle to the gills with ice and drink
powders, the wide mouth makes it easy.
The Clean Bottle
is dishwasher safe and guaranteed for life, and Dave even donates 10%
of profits to eco-friendly charities. The Clean Bottle is available in
White/ blue, White/ black, and Competitive Cyclist Racing Team colors
and holds 22 ounces.
- Opens at both ends
- Comes completely apart
- Large openings

Decent bottle; cleans as advertised
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Obviously the shining feature of this bottle is the ability to clean it thoroughly to extend its life span. That it does flawlessly.
The material of the bottle is soft enough to use effectively in cold temperatures.
That said, it is a bit of an odd shape so it does not take to certain bottle cages well, and the hard bottom and top can in some cases impede the ability to squeeze.
I would definitely still recommend the bottle for daily use, but I definitely prefer custom bottles from Specialized, even though I might go through them faster.
Good but not great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I typically just use cheap LBS water bottles as a i have a tendency to loose them often. I thought i would try one of these after seeing several ads during the TDF. They are very easy to clean since both end are removable. You need to make sure both ends are screwed on tighter than you think you need to make sure that it doesn't leak. After several months of use (and somehow not loosing it) i've found that these bottles actually smell worse and need cleaned way more often than most water bottles. It's just a water bottle, i probably wouldn't buy another one.
Leaky nozzle
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I get my drink all over my jersey/shirt, thanks to the crappy seal on the top around the nozzle. It lets it all out around the base and outside of the nozzle, rather than only from the center, in a stream, as I'd expect. When I first noticed, I ended wrapping my lips around the top as if it were a teat, to get a drink. Very uncool... after that, I just unscrewed the cap to drink.
Interesting design, but I still have to clean it about the same as any other bottle. It's a little faster, since I can use my hand from the bottom too, but there's no avoiding some work to get the slimy film off the inside of the bottle after filling it with energy drinks.
Works well. Some Quality control issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I would give this 5 stars, but the incoming quality of this product disappointed me. I ordered 2, and one of the bottles had a crooked bottom cap. Upon closer inspection, the threads on the bottle were actually formed in a way that the mating bottom piece did not screw on completely. This causes a leak. I immediately returned the bottle, and Backcountry's great customer service sent another bottle to replace it (can't say enough about how GREAT the customer service is!) The design is great! the execution should be too! Still, it is a novel idea and is awesome so you don't have to use snakes/brush tools to clean the bottle thoroughly!
**Disclaimer: you need to ensure that the caps on both ends are screwed on all the way so that the silicone gasket seals the bottle.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
mine leaked from both top and bottom
cleaning ease
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
i picked up a couple of these and really like them. They hold plenty of beverage and both ends screw off for ease in cleaning. The wide mouth allows bigger brushes in for scrubbing.
Please make sure both ends are screwed on tightly as they will leak if not
So Fresh and So Clean
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Outkast new what they were talking about when they wrote that song about these water bottles. Flavors do not stick around in these guys. It is pretty great because before I had this bottle I was always a little weary about putting hydration mixes in my bottles. Screw the bottoms on tight though!
Clean Bottles are great!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Warning, make sure the bottoms are screwed on extra tight, they have been known to leak ever so slightly.
I love my clean bottles, Preventing bottle funk and making sure that your hydrating are important, and this solves both! Not to mention, I know a few guys who work for them, and they are all stand up cats. Support the little guy!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
used it on my century ride last weekend and they worked great, holds plenty of water, and super easy to use.
The tip collapses
as soon as you put it to your mouth and want to drink from it the tip pushes in and you're not getting any water. Also, I have to agree that the bottle is too hard to squeeze. So between the top pushed in and the bottle too hard to squeeze you're not getting any water. And I bought two of these at some sporting store for hikers. I've yet to find a good water bottle that is easy to drink from, easy to hold and carry. I found the CamelBack bottle even harder to squeeze and drink from. Sheeeesh, just can't get a good drinking bottle any more!
drink from this all the time.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
double sided bottle! sometimes i forget that bottom comes off and try to wash it from the top. other reviews say hard to squeeze? they must have tiny weak hands... the plastic is super soft.
And yes, bottle has another logo on it..? it's a water bottle. who cares. drink water
Worst Bottle - EVER!
Despite the 5 star reviews, this bottle is tough to squeeze, making it non-functional for a majority of people. Not only that, it isn't pictured, but it sports a "POWERBAR" logo on the side behind the Competitive Cyclist logo - not cool! If this was a sponsored bottle being resold - totally uncool.
The removable bottom and "easy to clean" idea is a gimmick. There are tonnes of other better bottles out there. This isn't one of them. Will never ever buy again.
Sponsored Bottle
This bottle has a Powerbar logo on the other side. Totally not cool which means it's a sponsored bottle and should not be for sale. And yes, hard to squeeze. Worst bottle - EVER!
Cool Bottle
I love that this bottle is double sided, makes it really easy to clean. Love the graphic. only complaint is the bottle is hard to squeeze.
Leak like crazy!
I bought 4 of these bottles. The promise of being able to clean them easily was the big draw. After washing 3 in the dishwasher (as prescribed) the never sealed on the bottom again. No matter how I tried to screw them on... they leak like crazy! 3 out of 4 -and the 4th one doesn't leak because I have never unscrewed the bottom. Save your money...
Easy to clean
Good bottle, not great. It's not the most pleasing taste, but it doesn't get the build up at the bottom like most bottles do. I still prefer a insulated bottle.
Great Bottle
Perfect size coupled with their innovative cleaning idea makes for a great road bottle. Two of these keep me well stocked with liquid for most of my rides.
Haven't had any issues with leaking, just make sure you put that bottom lid back on nice and tight and you'll be good to go.
2nd Round is better than before
The newest version of the clean bottle (Competitive Cyclist Racing Team) is softer than the old bottles and are easier to squeeze which was one of the few complaints with the previous versions. Personally I like the colorway with the black top and bottom way better than the blue.
Easy to clean
It's easy to clean. Good design.
nice to know your next drink is going to taste fresh. No more of that nasty stale water for me. Nice to be able to also wash out that bottle with your sport drink in it

Liz Hurley shows off her bedroom style
08:08 24 May 2012
Liz Hurley aired her linen in public as she showed off what she likes in the bedroom.
The model and businesswoman was launching her range of bedsheets and pillowcases in London with her former cricketer partner on hand.
The pair showed off the bed linen - Hurley's first homeware collections - at House of Fraser at Westfield in west London.
She said: "Bedrooms have always been a favourite place of mine, so it's a good place to start."
Hurley said she had been inspired by travels in Morocco and India - particularly Rajasthan - to come up with the designs.
She added: "Shane loves my bedroom taste. We've been testing this in our bedroom at home and seeing which ones we like."

Nine years ago, Mark McEwan scandalized Torontonians with his $35 truffled Bymark burger. That was before words like "grass-fed," "heritage" and "dry-aged" entered into the burger lexicon. The city is now crammed with craft burgers, and carnivores no longer flinch at steep price tags. Competitive chefs bring in whole cows from nearby farms, bake their own buns, smoke their own bacon (twice), replace ketchup with tomato chutney and source the most pungent cheeses they can get their patty-flipping hands on. Thankfully, the mom-and-pop shops haven't been artisinalled out of business—there are still plenty of sublime greasy-bag burgers around, as well as a few new-school diners ironically replicating them. Here, the very best of the city's boundless burgerdom.

Saying sorry
Interview | Law professor Carol M. Swain on why she says conservatives should support a national apology for slavery
Carol M. Swain is professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt University Law School and the founding director of the Veritas Institute for racial justice and reconciliation. She and some other Christian leaders are calling on Congress and President Bush to issue a national apology for slavery. In past years liberal Democrats have unsurprisingly called for such action, but so have a few conservatives.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), while a member of the House in 2000, co-sponsored Rep. Tony Hall's (D-Ohio) Apology for Slavery Resolution of 2000. The bill was never voted on, but three years later Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) pushed for the creation of a congressional committee that would, among other things, investigate the pros and cons of a national apology for slavery. Republican leaders quietly killed the legislation and aides in Sen. Brownback's office say he does not intend to reintroduce the bill.
WORLD: Why is slavery considered responsible for the African-American underclass today? In 1950 some 78 percent of black households featured a married couple; why shouldn't the social and economic policies of the 1960s and 1970s that led to a marriage breakdown be blamed?
CMS: It is a bit of a stretch to blame slavery for the contemporary problems decimating many black communities; certainly, many of the social welfare programs of the 1960s and 1970s had undesirable unintended consequences. Nevertheless, slavery and racism have had persistent, lingering effects. For example, discriminatory past lending policies of the federal government have contributed to racial disparities in wealth.
WORLD: Why do you put an apology at the top of your own priority list when other African-Americans emphasize problems of abortion, single-parenting, education, and economics?
CMS: African-Americans can work with like-minded individuals of all races to find solutions to some of the critical problems that you delineate. An apology for slavery, however, has its own intrinsic value for advancing the cause of racial justice and racial reconciliation. An apology for slavery is something that African-Americans cannot give themselves.
WORLD: What would be the benefits of the federal government apologizing for slavery?
CMS: Our nation would reap national and international rewards from making such an enormous gesture towards racial reconciliation. The greatest benefits would be to the Republican Party because it offers them an opportunity to reclaim the mantle as the Party of Lincoln and to begin the process of creating a new relationship with African-Americans, one not clouded by the shadow and spectacle of Willie Horton.
WORLD: What is the biblical justification for the government issuing an apology?
CMS: I am not aware of any scriptures that deal directly with national apologies-but many remind us of generational sins and curses stemming from the actions of our forefathers. If America wants to continue to hold itself out as a paragon of virtue to the rest of the world, then it behooves our leaders to forever close the chapter on slavery with an appropriate governmental apology on behalf of the nation.
WORLD: President Bush in 2003 called slavery "one of the greatest crimes of history" and noted specifically that "Christian men and women became blind to the clearest commands of their faith and added hypocrisy to injustice." How would an apology differ from that?
CMS: President Bush and former president Clinton each acknowledged the crime of slavery and its injustice on trips to Africa during their respective terms. The national apology that I envision for healing purposes would take place in Washington, D.C. It could be a joint resolution passed by both houses of Congress, or an Executive Order. The resulting document would be signed as part of a ceremony in which whites, blacks, and others came together for the purpose of forgiveness and a symbolic burial of the past.
The national apology would not simply be an apology of whites to blacks. Whites, blacks, and native Americans all participated in some aspects of slavery. Many whites who immigrated to the United States after slavery ended have benefited from the period of Jim Crow racism and the rampant anti-black discrimination that followed, which protected them from competing with blacks on an equal basis.
WORLD: The Southern Baptists have issued an apology. Why isn't it sufficient for particular groups that had clear responsibility to issue apologies?
CMS: A piecemeal approach of apologizing for slavery can never have the kind of lasting impact nor the historical significance and symbolism of the President of the United States creating history by acknowledging the wrongness of the historical act. Already, the lack of an apology for such a heinous act sets the nation apart from other great nations that have expressed public contrition for past misdeeds.
Consider Germany, a nation that has apologized twice for the suffering caused by its actions. Its first national apology came after WWI when Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, accepting responsibility for losses and damages to the allied governments and for the payment of reparations. The second apology occurred after WWII when it accepted responsibility for perpetuating the "worst crimes against humanity." The apology was followed with actual reparation of billions of dollars to Israel and billions in separate payments to Holocaust survivors.
More recently, British prime minister Tony Blair apologized for the treatment of the Irish during the potato famine, Pope John Paul II apologized for the sins of the Roman Catholic Church, and Australia apologized to Aborigines.
WORLD: Why aren't the decades of affirmative action a sufficient apology?
CMS: Affirmative action was never a policy that benefited blacks exclusively. Women were included from the very beginning and by the early 1970s five protected minorities had been added. Affirmative action has benefited some people at the expense of others and created divisiveness in its wake.
WORLD: How do you respond to critics who say a national apology imputes guilt to all white Americans, including those whose ancestors lived in other countries?
CMS: I would respond that all of our ancestors participated in the heinous crime in some form or the other. Moreover, the whites that came to the country later reaped benefits from the system that kept blacks in a subordinate position.
WORLD: Some who are pushing for an apology say it should and would be followed by a program of financial reparations, but how could such a program be administered, given the biracial ancestry of many Americans?
CMS: I am not a proponent of monetary reparations for slavery for many reasons. African-Americans make up 13 percent of the total U.S. population. At least 5 percent of African-Americans and significant percentages of affirmative action beneficiaries are the offspring of more recent immigrants and are not direct descendants of American slaves.
Financial reparations for slavery would create an administrative nightmare for the government, it would be extremely divisive and counterproductive to promoting racial reconciliation, and most importantly it would not solve the most pressing problems affecting black communities. It is critical, therefore, that we distinguish the appeal for a national apology from the vociferous demands for slave reparations heard in recent years.
WORLD: You're not looking for reparations, but why wouldn't an apology further the cause of those who are?
CMS: A national apology for slavery is not an admission of guilt that could be successfully used in a court of law to justify the payment of monetary reparations. All indications suggest that the legal case for slave reparations has been put to rest by the failure of its advocates to prevail in a series of cases that have established important precedents. Insurmountable obstacles include the lack of anyone alive with the legal standing to bring forth a valid claim of injury, traceable to the actions of an identifiable wrongdoer. Moreover, the statute of limitations and the lack of an adequate remedy at law mean that a legal case would not be advanced by the president or by the Congress making a goodwill gesture on behalf of the nation.
In the end, it does not matter whether Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or the Congressional Black Caucus support the apology. What matters is that the goodwill gesture takes place during this century. A national apology from the current presidential administration would close the door on slavery and serve as a giant step forward toward healing the nation and reconciling the fractured relationship between blacks and Republicans.

ATLANTA -- The Georgia Department of Driver Services is changing the look of driver's licenses for veterans.
The agency unveiled the new patriotic card design Monday. The new design has a waving American flag and the word "veteran" is in all caps and red letters.
Among the first who received a new veteran's license was Holly Springs officer Shane Ladner.
You may remember Ladner and his wife Meg were injured in parade float accident in Texas last year November.
Ladner served in the Army and the Georgia National Guard.

Yeah, This didn't work for me..
I was trying to combine an old 1tb drive with even an older 750gb drive onto a new 2tb. Both older drives had some of the same recordings since I had done a copy once before.
I'm still sorting through the results but a lot of the duplicate programs are corrupt and even some of the programs that were new on the 2tb drive were corrupted. When selected to play, Some of the copied videos would immediately give you the 'delete' option but after selecting 'no' it would play from the beginning. Very messy.
This may sound convoluted but I think I'll have to delete all the copied videos from the 2tb (leave the new ones) and just stick to copying one drive to the 2tb.. Any advice? Anyone?
If you really want to try something, and have the time, here is what I would do. I'd fire up both drives independently, and get rid of all duplicate recordings. I'd try and make one have as many recordings as possible, and leave one with as few recordings as possible. Then I'd copy whichever one had the most shows left to the 2tb drive. Then, there is a thread here abut how to copy individual recordings one at a time. You could then try that method to get the rest of the shows from the remaining drive to the new one. If you do that, I'd just move one over and then test to see if it worked, before i moved all of them individually.
Just something you can try if you have time to kill.

Hahn Earns 13th Big 12 Defensive POW Award
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
This also marks the sixth consecutive week dating back to last season that the Cyclones have picked up at least one weekly award from the Big 12. Of those six, Hahn was responsible for four of them.
Hahn was the leader of the backline at the UND Classic as the No. 15 Cyclones got off to a 3-0 start. In ISU's first match against South Dakota State, Hahn led the way with 22 digs to extend a streak of consecutive 20+ digs matches to five. After posting 14 digs in the Cyclones' win over North Dakota, Hahn posted another big number during Iowa State's 3-1 win over Texas A&M, leading the way with 23 digs.
Unsurprisingly, Hahn is the Big 12 leader in digs at 5.90 per set. Her work has also helped guide Iowa State to the top of the league rankings in terms of kills allowed, with ISU conceding only 11.30 per set.
Hahn is a two-time AVCA All-American, earning second-team honors in 2012 and the two-time defending Big 12 Libero of the Year. She is one of 30 candidates nationally for the Senior CLASS Award, given to student-athletes for their outstanding work on and off the court.
Oklahoma's Sallie McLaurin was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, and West Virginia's Jordan Anderson earned the Big 12 Rookie of the Week award.
Iowa State is back in action on Wednesday when it makes the short trip to Cedar Falls to take on Northern Iowa. First serve is set for 7 p.m. in the McLeod Center.

The Future's now
Tonight is Futures' Night, which means Kansas City will get to take a peak at the future of the organization. With the team on a seven game roll, tonight is a great night to make it out to the stadium.
The Minor League Players of the Year will be on hand. We're going to have one last fireworks spectacular here at the "old" Kauffman Stadium, it's Buck Night and of course the Royals pit their surging brand of baseball against the first-place White Sox. Let's go Around the Horn…
The past few years the team has given Royals fans a glimpse of what is to come and not just with September call-ups (though it's been exciting seeing the successes of Ryan Shealy and Kila Ka'aihue and Devon Lowery this month). Futures' Night is that chance. Names like Mike Moustakas, Dan Cortes, Derrick Robinson, and Mike Montgomery are just a few of the players we've mentioned in this space who will be here to meet the fans.
But these players got a taste of what it means to be a Kansas City Royal earlier today. Some of the front office accompanied the players as they helped out at Harvesters and then toured the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The future of the Club then made its way to Kauffman to take in the Royals batting practice earlier this afternoon. It is important that these young players understand about the community they hope to play in and their short tour was designed to do just that. It's worked in the past.
Among some of the names you might recognize from the last few years, Mike Aviles has won Minor League Player of the Year for his respective team three times (2007 at Omaha, 2004 at Wilmington and 2003 at Surprise), including the title of 2007 Minor League Player of Year last season for the entire organization. In 2006, three players who've seen time in the Majors this season were given the award. Zack Greinke and Alex Gordon – two of the building blocks for the team – won Pitcher and Player of the Year at Wichita and Carlos Rosa, who had three strikeouts in three innings earlier this season, was the Burlington Pitcher of the Year.
Billy Butler joins Aviles as a two-time winner of the award. He also won at two different levels. At 18, he won the Idaho Falls Player of the Year and followed that performance with the honor at High Desert as a 19-year old.
Some of the lower-level award winners over the past couple of years are already starting to help the organization win. Luis Cota and Nick Van Stratten won the award for Burlington Pitcher of the Year (2005) and Arizona Player of the Year (2006), respectively. Both were key to the success of the Burlington Bees in their run to the Midwest League Championship.
Seven straight wins is the longest winning streak since 2003, when the Royals opened the season 9-0. The Royals are 8-2 over their last ten.
The team has clicked. Through the streak, the starter has won every game. They've bashed 12 homers and run their season win total to 69, matching their 2007 win total. With one more victory, they can secure their first 70-win season since going 83-79 in 2003.
After their last loss, a week ago in Cleveland, the Royals were 19 games back and eight behind Detroit. While they haven't shaved much off their deficit to the division-leading White Sox, they are just three behind the Tigers.
Manager Trey Hillman told the media today that the strong play will get a test tonight. Matching up against the White Sox, a team who is playing for the postseason, he said the Royals will see just how well they have been playing. He hopes that they can continue their run, but doesn't want to diminish what the Royals did in Cleveland. The Indians have been strong for most of the second half and Hillman's boys shut them down (with the exception of the eventual Cy Young winner Cliff Lee).
Hillman sees tonight as a chance to measure his team. He believes comparing his team to the rest of the division, his main competition, will give him an accurate read on where he sits. Chicago will bring a playoff atmosphere to the K and the Royals will need to stand up to the division leaders – "the pride of the division," – if they want a shot at not finishing in last place, which is a goal the manager thinks shows something.
Alberto Callaspo has hit in 12 straight, a career high…David DeJesus picked up his 70th RBI yesterday. DeJesus and Jose Guillen (95 RBI) are the first pair of Royals to knock in 70 or more runs in a season since Emil Brown (86) and Mike Sweeney (83) did it in 2005…DeJesus currently has a .402 average with runners in scoring position and is trying to become just the third Royal to end a season with a .400 RISP mark. Sweeney (.402 in 2002) and George Brett (.469 in 1980) are the only others to do it…Mark Teahen had two hits in the fourth inning yesterday, which was the first time a Royal had done that since Tony Pena, Jr. did it in the second versus St. Louis on June 14, 2007…The 500th strikeout of Zack Greinke's career was former Royal Raul Ibanez in the first inning yesterday.
Tonight is the final Buck Night and Fireworks Friday. But tomorrow has plenty for the fans as well. Stocking caps and "Shirts Off Their Backs" Night will highlight the rest of the weekend's promotions.
With the season coming to a close and Around the Horn running out of time, we here at ATH and the K want to again voice our deepest gratitude to you – the fan – for your support and for your patience with the renovation process. You will not be disappointed when we re-open on April 10, 2008 versus the Yankees.
Today's lineup:
DeJesus LF
Aviles SS
Guillen RF
Shealy 1B
Teahen 3B
Butler DH
Callaspo 2B

New concept on communicating Europe
The Federal Foreign Office's new concept on communicating Europe is intended to help strengthen confidence in Europe and make people aware once again of Europe's value. Foreign Minister Westerwelle presented the concept to the Federal Cabinet on 29 February.
Community of values: Germany in Europe
© dpa / picture alliance
The concept, entitled "Explaining Europe – Discussing Europe", is based on the assumption that Europe is currently going through a "defining phase". The paper states: "What happens over the next few months will have a lasting impact on Germany's image in Europe, on Europe's image in Germany and on Europe's image in the world."
German foreign and European policy has a dual responsibility: "We have to help shape tomorrow's Europe. At the same time, we have to convince the people in Germany, Europe and beyond that we are on the right path."
Three focuses in efforts to communicate policy on Europe
The Federal Foreign Office's efforts to communicate policy on Europe will concentrate on three complementary aspects:
- Efforts to build our European neighbours' confidence in Germany
- Explaining Europe in the world
- Promoting a fundamentally Europe-friendly attitude in Germany.

Romney in Orange City
(Orange City) -- Republican presidential nominee, Governor Mitt Romney addressed five key points of interest during his political rally held today at Orange City on the campus of Northwestern College. More than 3,000 people crowded inside the gym to hear Romney. Almost immediately, Romney spoke about President Obama's failures.
Listen to
Romney zeroed in on the jobs report that was issued this morning, saying it is disappointing. He acknowledged there is a lot of bad news, but he predicts that America will come roaring back. He told the 3,000 plus crowd that he knows how to get the private sector to create 12 million new jobs, and he says millions of jobs can be created in the energy sector and he wants to take full advantage of America's resources for energy.
Listen to
Romney says America needs to take advantage of the Keystone pipeline from Canada. He says it means turning the Gulf of Mexico back on for more drilling. Romney also says he would issue more permits for oil exploration.
Listen to
Romney says we also need to use more natural gas, saying it is our "ace in the hole."
The Republican candidate also focused on job skills for workers. He says he will champion small businesses by reducing taxes and regulations, and he will take advantage of trade opportunities and punish those nations that don't follow the rules involving trade. Romney concluded his 23 minute speech by telling the enthusiastic crowd he knows what it takes to get people jobs and how to reduce the ever-growing debt. He reminded the gathering of the $16 trillion dollar debt and pointed to a student holding a sign about the new debt

While many sensitive types find that they often have a reaction following cleansing, this basic step is essential for healthy skin. La Roche Posay Cleansers remove the dirt, excess oil, makeup and impurities that can cause dullness, irritation and breakouts. Many skin reactions are caused by harsh, drying detergents commonly found in popular cleansers. La Roche Posay Cleansers are formulated to be gentle so that even hyper reactive skin types can benefit from cleansing without the worries of redness, tightness and irritation.
La Roche Posay Cleansers thoroughly dissolve impurities from both the surface of the skin and the pores. When using treatment products and moisturizers, always start with one of the available La Roche Posay Cleansers before applying anything else. La Roche Posay Cleansers allow other products to perform better by eliminating the barrier of debris that can prevent active ingredients from penetrating and doing their job. When the skin is purified and clean, it is in an ideal state to accept treatments and hydrators. La Roche Posay Cleansers should be considered part of an overall skin care program for healthy skin. For best results, use La Roche Posay Cleansers in conjunction with other products from the La Roche Posay brand.
Since there are different needs when it comes to skin, there are several different La Roche Posay Cleansers to accommodate various concerns and conditions. Choose the one that is most suitable for your skin.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Foaming Cleanser is a very gentle cleanser that is foams lightly when mixed with water. It is ideal for those with skin that is oily or skin that has a combination of oily T zone and dry patches on the cheeks. It is safe for anyone who is sensitive and has trouble tolerating other common cleaners. It can even be used on skin that is suffering from conditions such as eczema and rosacea. The lather is soothing and rinses cleanly so as not to leave behind any residue. This is a non-drying and non-irritating cleanser.
Some people have skin that is so sensitive, even water can cause dryness and irritation. La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser is ideal for normal to dry skin that is exceptionally sensitive. This is a wipe off cleanser so no water is required. It can be used to remove makeup as well as dirt and impurities. La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser does not contain fragrance, surfactants or preservatives.
La Roche Posay Effaclar Deep Cleansing Foaming Cleanser is suitable for oily skin that experiences clogged pores. The formula gently clears the pores and purifies the skin to reduce breakouts and excess oil. It foams up nicely and rinses cleanly to leave the skin soft and balanced.

Writing Center
West Chester University
Dr. Margaret Ervin
Associate Professor of English
FHG Library Room 251
Who goes to the Writing Center?
Students, faculty, and staff go to the center; they know it's useful to talk about what they're writing and to get feedback. Even the best writers find it helpful to have a second pair of eyes look over their paper for a fresh perspective. In fact, almost all of the writing center tutors go to each other for this kind of advice. Clearly, the writing center is helpful for any type of writer.
What happens during a writing consultation?
We will start by asking you some questions, such as the parameters of the assignment and your goals for the session. Then, we will ask you to read aloud part or all of your paper and talk about your writing concerns. If you are not comfortable reading aloud, we can read your paper aloud for you. We will then give suggestions about different strategies that you can use. We will also offer help with planning, revising, and any other aspect of your writing. We will not mark your paper with red ink; we will not talk about the grade we believe it will or should receive. We are here to help you formulate ideas and to better recognize your strengths as a writer as well as areas for improvement. We will not tell you your ideas are wrong. We won't write a paper for you; however, we will help you write a better paper yourself.
What is the purpose of reading aloud?
This technique may seem a bit strange to you at first, but it is an important strategy for experiencing your paper in a new way. When you read out loud rather than silently to yourself, you are more able to hear your words and meanings from the detached or neutral position of a member of your audience. This gives you the chance to see your paper from a different perspective, allowing you to recognize the choices you've made and consider alternative ones. In addition, reading your paper out loud helps you to pick up on any missing words, awkward sentences, and other grammatical or mechanical issues present in your text. All in all, reading your paper aloud is one of the best approaches we know not only for better understanding where your text is at any given moment but also for making decisions as to the direction you'd like it to go.
How are the writing tutors trained?
We are graduate and undergraduate students from a variety of academic disciplines and majors. We are trained in a three-credit, semester-long course--ENG397/600, Tutoring Writing--in which we learn about theories of tutoring and how they apply to the writing center setting. We also learn about best practices in writing center work and do some writing ourselves. In addition, we meet throughout the semester on a weekly basis for instruction, role playing common scenarios, and conversation about the work we are doing.
Do I have to bring writing for an English class?
No, we will work with writing from any kind of class. The fact that we may be unfamiliar with the content of the paper does not mean that we can't help. Things like unity, organization, development, providing evidence for claims, using and citing sources, and grammatical issues are much the same in all fields of study.
Do I need to make an appointment?
While walk-ins are welcome, we strongly recommend making an appointment, as there is not always an available tutor. Appointments are made using our online scheduling system.
When is the best time to come?
We recommend bringing in your paper when you first get the assignment, when you have a draft, when you have a revised draft, and/or at any time you have questions or feel you would benefit from feedback on your ideas. However, it is best not to bring in your paper the day it is due. We can do only so much with that time constraint.
How long will the session last?
Sessions are either 30 or 60 minutes. You can make that choice when you sign up online. If you have a paper longer than 5-6 pages, bring in shorter sections, or maybe just pick a few trouble spots you'd like to focus on in the paper. If you need another session, you can always make another appointment after you work on what was discussed during the first session.
What should I bring with me when I come? Do I need a draft?
You should bring in the assignment and whatever you have done so far. It is okay if you have not started writing yet. If you just have the assignment sheet and some ideas, bring those in and we will help you brainstorm topics. We can help you wherever you are in the writing process.
Will you proofread my paper for me?
No. But we will go over it with you, line by line, if you'd like, holding up your grammatical constructions against the rules in an online handbook such as the OWL at Purdue. In other words, we will show you how to locate and use the grammatical information you need and offer assistance as you proofread. Our goal in doing this is to strengthen your own ability to proofread your papers. If we merely corrected your mistakes, you wouldn't learn much from the session. The paper is yours, and it should be written and proofread by you. This is also why you can not drop off your paper and come back for it later.
Why don't you write on my paper?
We'd prefer that YOU write on your paper during a tutorial. Writing consultants do help writers take notes and may write on papers with the writer's permission, but it's not our goal to take over the process of improving your paper. It's our goal to help you learn to improve it yourself.
Can you tell me what grade you think my paper will get?
We are not involved in your professor's grading process and have no idea of what your grade will be. If you have concerns, it is always a good idea to talk with your professor. The writing center can certainly help you with your writing, but it is not designed to be a substitute for your professor.
Will my professor know that I came?
If you want your professor to know, we will send an e-mail telling her or him that you came. The e-mail will consist of a brief outline of what we worked on in the session. Nothing in the e-mail will evaluate your writing. If you don't want your professor to know, then we will not send an e-mail. It's worth pointing out, though, that an e-mail from the writing center is a great way to let your professor know that you care about your writing. You are showing him or her that you are putting time into the assignment, and professors always like to see that!
