SRAM X9 Type 2.1 Rear Derailleur $0.00
The SRAM X9 Type 2.1 Rear Derailleur takes the revised Type 2 design and makes some minor changes like upgraded bearing seals and a tiny reduction of weight. Otherwise, it's the same Type 2 goodness that countless riders have bolted onto their machines for the better. SRAM's Type 2 derailleur technology differs from its competition in a key way. Rather than opting for an adjustable friction band, SRAM put a Roller Bearing Clutch in its Type 2 derailleurs. The clutch comes pre-set from the factory to provide a certain amount of friction inside the derailleur cage pivot. This friction keeps the cage from bouncing up and down over rocky trails and de-tensioning the chain. Because it's pre-set at the factory, SRAM's Type 2 clutch can't be disengaged or adjusted like Shimano's Shadow Plus mechanism. That being said, the Type 2 clutch is self-lubricating, and there are no external moving parts, so unlike the Shadow Plus system, it's designed to be maintenance-free. The Type 2 mechanism adds about 30 grams to the weight of a standard X9 rear derailleur.
A unique feature of the Type 2 system is that its Cage Lock technology allows you, with the push of a button, to lock the derailleur cage in an extended position. This is a nice feature that allows for easier-than-ever rear wheel installation. There's no need to worry if you accidentally leave the derailleur cage locked; it will return to normal operating position when you hit your first bump. Another benefit of the Cage Lock is that it makes chain installation a bit easier; you don't have to maintain a consistent pulling force on the cage while joining the two chain ends.

Great Update
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Rear derailleurs get a lot of use, and a lot of wear and tear. When the time came to replace my bike's original X0 rear derailleur I went with the new Type 2.1-equipped X9. The clutch greatly reduces chain slap and with a minimum of extra effort at the shift lever. I have always loved SRAM's precise, mechanical-feeling shifting and the clutch seems to emphasize that positive engagement.
No drop
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Don't drop that chain with the type 2.1 rear derailleur. Great quality, great shifting performance, and the new type 2 is fantastic and keeps the bike quiet. I have these on a few bikes and would purchase again!
Love the X9
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great derailleur for the price. I bought this one to replace my pretty beat up one.
^ what they said
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm not a tech, so I can't go off on how great this RD is. I used to have the X9 and have bashed it up and was needing to upgrade. I liked everything about the X9 so I just went for the same thing, but better. So far so good. I think I've noticed less chain slap...

|Packing a powerful kid-friendly lunch
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Parents know that one of the biggest challenges in raising kids is getting them to eat right. With busier-than-ever schedules and hurried mornings, many parents choose the convenience of school lunches, but do you really know what your kids are eating?
Amrit Devgun, ND, a naturopathic practitioner at Northwestern Health Sciences University's Natural Care Center at Woodwinds in Woodbury, Minn., says, "The problem is that families today are too busy and they don't have time to provide quality nutrition for their kids." Taking the easy route in the morning may save you some time, but can lead to trouble for your kids down the road.
According to Devgun, kids who eat a healthy, balanced diet have a lower risk overall of chronic disease. Deficiencies in childhood often take a lifetime to show up. Other benefits of eating well include:
—Stronger bones;
—Stronger immune system;
—Higher levels of concentration and focus;
—Less moodiness;
—Healthy weight and body mass index; and
—Positive body image.
With after-school and evening activities creeping into the dinner hour, providing a healthy lunch is more important than ever, says Devgun. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 28 million lunches are served each day at U.S. schools, at a cost of $8 billion per year. Yet, childhood obesity and childhood diabetes are on the rise.
School lunches often don't measure up, says Devgun. "Many school lunches are high in refined grains, refined sugars, saturated fat and trans fat. There are very few choices for fresh fruits and vegetables. The vegetables they do offer are often over-cooked—who wants to eat that?"
What's a parent to do? "Get involved," says Devgun. "Find out what's happening at your child's school. Check the lunch menu. Are kids allowed to have a water bottle at their desk? Is soda available? Is there a scheduled snack time?" Devgun joined the nutrition task force at her daughter's school, where she stressed the value of offering fresh vegetables and fruits for lunch.
You don't have to join a committee. With a few simple strategies, parents can ensure that their child is armed with the proper nutrition to get through the school day. Devgun offers these tips:
—Make sure your child has plenty of water. Reduce or eliminate juice drinks.
—Read labels, and know what you're reading. Sugars and sugar substitutes are listed in many forms. It's only whole-grain if the label says "100 percent" whole-grain.
—Check serving sizes. On many pre-packaged lunch foods, half the package is one serving.
—Reduce or eliminate processed foods. Try filling your grocery cart with 70 percent fresh.
—Offer a healthy breakfast, consisting of a whole-grain cereal or bread paired with protein. Pack a lunch from home when possible. The high-fat, high-sugar choices often found on school lunch menus can induce a mid-afternoon slump.
—Shop wisely. Choose low-sugar varieties in products such as ketchup, syrup, cereal and granola bars; whole-grain breads and crackers (even frozen waffles come in whole-grain varieties!); and serve fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
—Get back to basics. According to Devgun, kids' tastes have changed in adaptation to the foods that are available. When you wean them from sugar and fat, your child's palate will eventually adjust and they will no longer crave those foods.
—Think outside the lunch box. Lunch doesn't have to be a sandwich and an apple. Be creative. String cheese and ham or turkey cut into "sticks" with a piece of fruit is a great lunch.

Volvo Ocean Race - Nearing the end of an epic leg
by Volvo Ocean Race on 10 Mar 2012
Groupama Sailing Team, skippered by Franck Cammas from France, round the Northern tip of New Zealand during leg 4 of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, from Sanya, China to Auckland, New Zealand. Yann Riou/Groupama Sailing Team © /Volvo Ocean Race
Groupama 4 led the Volvo Ocean Race fleet around Cape Reinga at 1754 UTC today and is now on the home strait with just 176 nautical miles remaining. The final stretch includes a beat down to Cape Brett, where the French team will crack sheets and power reach towards the finish of what has been an epic leg from Sanya to Auckland.
With victory all but secured for Franck Cammas' team, the battle for second has intensified. Camper with Emirates Team New Zealand tacked onto starboard at 1640 UTC, in a bid to cross ahead of Puma Ocean Racing powered by Berg and Team Telefónica, who were on a perfect lay line for the cape.
Just before 1900 UTC Camper tacked back again and dropped 18 nm and two places to fourth. The team is now 11 nm to leeward of Telefónica, while Puma is 2.78 nm to windward. It is possible that all three, who are only five nm apart, will have to tack again to clear the cape. Groupama is half way across Great Exhibition Bay and preparing to make their decent towards the Hauraki Gulf.
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker/GBR), who are 40 nm behind Camper, lead Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson / NZL) by 20 nm. Both teams are sailing the same course as Puma and Telefónica towards Cape Reinga.
Groupama 4 are expected to cross the finish at around 1100 UTC tomorrow, March 10, with the next boat tipped to finish at around 0100 UTC March 11. Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing and Team Sanya are expected two hours later.

I Love the smell of Elk in the mornin
The arrow is everything
That is dissapointing. In trying to force promotion of local economic prospertiy, we continue to pass laws that push us closer and closer to hunting being a sport for the rich and elite. It is unfortunate that much of the federal lands are allowed to be managed with regulations that so heavily favor residency status. However, I fundamentally agree with the lack of preference points. Point creep is legitimate problem. I applaud NM for it remaining a random chance, fair law that does not promote a sense of entitlement because someone has already applied 5 times, or 10 or 3...
Turn out the lights...the party's over....its seems that all....good things must come to an end....
Odds just got a lot worse. It will be interesting to see what this does for land owner tag inflation. I don't get the all cow tags go to residents thing, I guess NR are only coming to NM for the horns...
The thing that amazes me is how most of the residents I have talked to think this is a GREAT thing. Most residents do not realize how few tags they are really getting out of this process compared to the number of resident applicants. Many of the quality units that have a total of say 100 tags may have 1,000 or more resident applicants. So if 10% of the tags went to non-residents without guides (10 tags) under the old system and the new system has 2% or 6% depending how it ends up, there are now about 4 more tags in this unit for the 900 or so residents that did not draw.
Will this make the residents happy? No.
Will reducing the non-resident quota make non-residents happy? Hell no! We have so few tags reducing the number makes it virtually impossible to draw a diy tag.
I constantly hear residents say the non-residents have all the tags, that while hunting all they see are non-resident vehicles. Look at the facts guys, residents have 78% of the tags! THE DIFFERENCE is in the land owner tags. Yes, mainly non-residents purchase them BUT they are not for non-residents only. A resident can buy them too, some residents just choose not to. But I personally know several residents that buy land owner cow tags every year if they do not draw a tag.
As a non-resident that lives 3 miles from the NM state line, I have been unable to draw any type of elk tag in NM for the last 8 years, not even a cow tag. Reducing the number of NR tags will be the last straw as far as I am concerned.
What this is doing is building a stronger wall between the non-resident hunter against the resident hunter in the State of New Mexico which is a bad deal to ever have our ranks divided.
I have tried the last 5 years to draw a tag and no luck I think I ve had enough fun and will give it up. You cant even draw an archery tag there any more.
c-ne-elk, Most residents understand the ramifications of this bill and are not as stupid as you have implied.
Reducing the NR quota to 16% is not screwing the NR over, especially compared to other states! the problem is the NR pool is segregated by financial ability. Many NM residents really believe the NR pool should be an equal opportunity draw just as a majority of DIY NR's do.
We have a system that has been broken for years and it will take years to fix it, you have to start somewhere! doing nothing fixes nothing and that pertains to all invested parties!
Would any of you been okay with an 85/15 split, all NR's equal? if the answer is yes then you have work to do!
I don't blame residents for wanting more tags, I'm sure it is frustrating to residents to not get a tag in their home state. On the flipside most of these states have large tracks of National forest that were set aside for residents of all 50 states, and are funded by all 50 states. Now you are telling me the state decides that I have an even less of a chance at hunting than i did before. Same with Wyoming telling me I cannot hunt a wilderness area without a guide. I can backpack as far as I want into this area and birdwatch but I can't go into this area and hunt. This is a hard one for me to swallow. Fedral land and the outfitter association in that state can keep me from hunting in that area. Something wrong with the whole situation. I have hunted with a guide and Its just not my thing. I would rather do it all on my own and not fill my tag. I will still be more personally satisfied, Its what I enjoy the most personal satifaction with the hunt not the kill.
I don't believe you have any interest in the 85/15 split. Your group, UBNM, led the charge to get legislation passed, and tried to snooker NR to support UBNM at their own peril. I would applaud a 85/15 split, with all NR in one pool, but I have no faith in you or UBNM leading this effort.
llp, You believe what you want, but your facts are not correct.
The UBNM had nothing to do with proposing SB196, once we knew this bill was going to be introduced we actively behind the scenes begin injecting what we thought to be issues with the bill, we did however openly support the bill in it's proposed form which was 90/10 no set aside pool for guided NR's. Behind the scenes everyone knew it was just a starting point in the negotiating process. The UBNM and many other residents were more than happy to end up with an 85/15 split and an all equal NR pool, Senator Munoz did everything he could to make the best out of an unwilling outfitter coalition and a small group of sympathetic but savvy Senators.
You are 100% correct! we pushed for success during the legislation process, would you expect anything less from a bunch of bow hunters? The guy's at the UBNM are mostly DIY common resident bow hunters who would also be DIY NR's in other states, we have strong ties to many DIY NR's and they were always in the conversation at our meetings and our endless e-mail discussions. At this point you may never know the full extent of our support for the DIY NR but that's cool, we did what we could without your support and we are okay with that. I can tell you for sure if the DIY NR would have jumped on board we would have had a different outcome, we needed your help but many of you refused claiming we were out to screw you over. Even though you would not support us we still have intentions of creating an all equal NR pool and yes 85/15 would be great in our opinion, we have 2 years to the next legislation.
llp, I have to ask even though I know the answer, What effort have you done for getting an all equal NR pool? that's what I thought, you have done absolutely nothing to further your cause! The UBNM has put more effort out for DIY NR's then any NR out there! what do we get for it? Nothing! we do it because it is the right thing to do. If you like to hunt NM you should help, if you are still young then that is all the more reason to help and if your are my age then help for the future, whatever you do do something positive.
JP, UBNM Treasurer

Absolutely Dry is exactly what it means. THis snorkel does have a little bit large volume. Takes 2 breaths to clear it completely but once clear, never leaks and if you accidently submerge, it does not leak and you know because you can draw no air...back on the surface, it opens right up. This is a great snorkel in my opinion.

I bought these as a compromise on price and performance as I dont get to dive that often. The straps are easy to adjust and the clip releases work well. I did get a blister on the top of my foot due to unevenly tightening the straps. I think Id prefer a slightly stiffer fin if I had it to do over again or perhaps one with a split design...but those are more expensive. Good fin at this price.

THis mask has a deep well and wide skirt for big noses or faces and sealed really well. Dove to a depth of 122 feet with no problems. The lower windows really make it easy to see gear attached to your BCD such as a camera or flashlite. Havent had put it on underwater and then clear it but I would think the sheer volume would make that a bit harder to accomplish. Overall Im pleased with my purchase. If you like your mask lens close to your face or eyes, this mask is not for you.

Overkill didn't play because of Bobby being sick. At least that's what I figured it was, all that was said is that there was an illness in the band. 4Arm played about 40 mins so both them and Flotsam played a little longer because of that. I have no idea why Testament didn't throw in an extra song though. We were the six show of seven in a row for them, so maybe they were just a little tired from all the travel without a day off?
I had never listened to 4Arm before this show but they just seemed like your standard, run of the mill thrash band. Nothing to special there. Flostsam did a pretty good job but I don't think Ugly Noise works right as a set opener. It's fine for a first track on the album but live it didn't translate well as the opener because of the slower moments it has. The crowd really got going during Hammerhead and Swatting At Flies maybe those should be moved to the start of the set instead. The pit was pretty good for the last two songs and overall the performance was solid and the audience enjoyed them. The singer made a comment about how they haven't been here in 10 or 15 years and mentioned two old venues went out of buisness here in the mid 90s. So It might be closer to 20 years since they've played here.
Testament was awesome. They've got a hell of a light show with a lot of strobes. So if you're sensative to that you might want to stay away from this tour. Well, you should still go but just close your eyes during the strobe stuff The main issue was the sound. This venue is one of the main places for acts of this size to play and the sound over the last three or four years there has been great. Last night it wasn't though. It might be a problem with Testaments sound and not the venue though. Both the bass and drums were up way too loud and were drowning out almost everything, Chuck's vocals being the main thing. It was so bad sometimes that even songs i've heard a hundered times and know all the words to, I couldn't even make out what Chuck was saying. I don't understand how the person who works the soundboard doesn't hear that and attempt to fix it? They should be fired because that is not the way verteran metal band like Testament should sound like live at this point in their careers. Seriously, if you had never heard some of the songs they played before last night, the songs would've just been a wall of noise to you. That's how bad the sound was.
I guess Chuck's voice is better since they put the three new songs back in which was great because I really wanted to hear those and they sounded as good as they could dispite the sound issues. Skolnick was fortunately not a victum of these sound issues as everything he played sounded great, especially the solos.
I'm still not sold on TFOD as the ender, it felt a little flat as the closer and the crowd didn't react to it like they thought it was the final song. Testament should be ending with an oldie that everyone likes. The crowd reaction was good for most of the show but it was the old stuff that really got the pits going and got the best reactions of the night. That's why I think something like The New Order or Trial By Fire should be moved to the closing spot. Those songs feel like show enders but TFOD doesn't.
Overall, they put on a great performance and the setlist and stage show both kicked ass but the sound issues hurt it a lot.
Good review, but I'm really worried for tonight. I've seen Testament twice, and once had pretty good sound, and the other time had literally the worst sound of any band I've ever seen. Like you said, songs I know inside out were completely unrecognizable and I'm worried that will be the case again. With that said, the second time I saw them was actually the time they sounded better, so I think it's pretty hit and miss.
It's great to see Trial By Fire (I thought they dropped that at some point?) and all of the new songs back in the set. Even though Overkill have supposedly canceled the rest of the tour, I'm still excited for tonight. It sucks, but at least I'll get to see two killer thrash bands!

6/04 - Untimely Demise
6/09 - Striker, Axxion, Manacle (?)
6/10 - Annihilator, Razor
I'm not sure what happened with the sound as this venue always has good sound. The last two times I saw Testament they played the same venue, in 2010 opening for Megadeth and in 2011 with Anthrax and both times they sounded better then they did last night. A band should never sound better as the support act then they do when they headline.
Good review. That sucks Testament had some sound problems this tour, they sounded perfect at the Anaheim show, much better than Overkill, who sounded pretty good themselves.
They sounded exactly like you said when I saw them on the Anthrax tour. It must depend on the venue, I guess...
8/6 - SubRosa
I don't get Formation as the closer either.
6/17 - Meshuggah
6/28 - Iron Maiden - Bergen, Norway
6/29 - Blaze Bayley - Bergen, Norway
7/1 - Iron Maiden - Luxembourg
10/31 - Fleetwood Mac
I know I did a lot of complaining when it came to the sound. But I really did love this show and they blew away all expectations I had.

A lot of rumors from KC people on twitter than Weis is the favorite to get the job at KU.
Would that be a good hire or bad?
VERY good hire!!!
If true, we can continue to make fat jokes about KU's coach.
I hate Charlie Wise. So this is a very good hire because I can continue to hate him.
In terms of benefits to ISU, yes please!
I could see him actually using his failure at ND to re-evaluate some things and being better his 2nd go around. Any Chiefs fan, knows how much better their offense was with him compared with before and after CW.
I certainly don't see him turning KU into a powerhouse, but I could see him giving teams fits and having similar results to Mangino. Both are probably similar in some ways...... (insert fat jokes).
Obviously I have no clue if this rumor will turn out to be true, but I do find it ironic that KU basically fired Mangino because he was fat and cussed at players and the two main rumors to this point, are a coach that cussed and locked a player in a closet, and the 2nd fattest coach in football to Mangino.
What is with Kansas and obese coaches?
When Prepared, Fear No One.
I said last time they should have gotten Brian Schottenheimer... I'll stick with that one this time around.
Follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/MarkHanrahan20
Check out my blog
and tune into "Extra Innings" Thursdays at 6pm on 1460kxno
Weis was worth nothing as a head coach at Notre Dame. Great OC in the NFL, ok OC in College, Bad College head coach.
Rumors are still smoking about Malzhan and Leavitt.
If true, this guy gets around.

U go from the Chiefs to Kansas jayhawks in 2 years? Wtf

1969 Dodge Charger Project 50 - Rear PanelsWritten by on January 23, 2014 Contributors: Bill Chandler Hey, It Looks Like A Car Again
Last month, we were finally able to get the trunk floor put back in the Charger. We started this project back in the September 2013 issue, and it was definitely a rough start. We found out that there was a lot of metal repair and replacement required, so any suspect metal was cut away, the body sent to media blasting, and now it's time for reassembly.
With the trunk floor in place, we can now focus on the rest of the rear sheetmetal. When reinstalling this much sheetmetal, you can run into a few variables that will dictate how you can proceed. If you don't have a jig or table to support the body while you cut the rusty metal away, you need to be very methodical about removing and replacing each piece. Let's face it, if you cut the rear end of the car away, and it's not properly supported, you'll end up with a nice piece of lawn art. So, you could work on one piece or section of the car at a time, but what if the rusted panels are connected (i.e. Dutchman and quarter)? If you can't weld the new panel to an already existing panel, simply removing a single panel at a time isn't an option.
In our case, just replacing the quarter panels wasn't an option. The rusty quarter panels were held together by a rusty trunk floor, a rusty tail panel, and a rusty Dutchman panel. We were going to need deep cuts, and deep cuts require the proper tools.
Like we said before, the AMD Installation Center has the tools, and Auto Metal Direct had the non-rusty, brand new sheetmetal that we needed. Since the trunk floor is in the car, let's surround it with some more metal.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
02 In case you didn't notice the large area of daylight while looking through what used to be the trunk area, we'll show you the first piece to go in. Yep, things were rusty enough that we even needed to replace the interior rear deck area.03 Before any welding can be done, all of the replacement panels have to be put in place. They aren't welded—yet. This loose fitting of panels makes adjustments of the metal to proper fitment a lot easier.04 Although it looks like we've already finished, we're just getting started. Like we said earlier, in order to make sure that all of the replacement panels fit properly, and that all moveable-panel gaps are correct, we put all of the metal on the car, and then clamped it in place.06 Once you're sure that all panels are properly located, the welding of the thousands of spot welds can be done.07 Like we said, thousands of spot welds. Count 'em, and that's just the tail panel.

Why us?
"I think the most stressful part of experiencing infertility is being young (28) and healthy when no one else is having a problem. It's like everyone but us just gets pregnant at the drop of a hat." — Anonymous
"The most frustrating part is that we're both young (33 and 34) and healthy. We don't smoke or even drink! We had devoted ourselves to our careers, so we put off having kids for a while. Now that we are economically comfortable and stable, we find out that we have 'unexplained infertility.' We've tried for two years with no luck. Sometimes I wonder: If we had tried earlier, could we have gotten pregnant?" — Anonymous
"I think the hardest part for us is that we're still so young. I'm only 22 and my husband is 29. I don't understand what the problem could be. I've gone over every little thing. We've been trying to conceive for three years! We already have one child, and we got pregnant with her with no problem at all! So I'm worried that something might have gone wrong during her delivery to cause my infertility now." —mommy2onebug
"I have two children already and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby [together]. I have had three miscarriages and the last one was when I was 19 weeks. We have no clue why, but I can no longer sustain a pregnancy, and the docs have recommended fertility drugs. It's so frustrating when I was fine before and now I can't have a baby." — Anonymous
Putting up with insensitive comments
"I had an early miscarriage and people say things like 'at least it was early.' No one knows that it's been two years of effort lost." — Anonymous
"My husband and I have been trying for only 10 months, but it feels like forever. I know people around us are only trying to help, but if I have to hear 'It'll happen when it's supposed to' or 'It'll happen when you least expect it' one more time I'm going to scream!" — Anonymous
"I've had a miscarriage and a stillborn and I've had people tell me things like, 'You're lucky, you'll have another one,' and 'This world is not a good place for kids' – really mean stuff!" — angel6944425

The waiting
"Waiting ... waiting ... waiting. I feel like that's all we do. I have polycystic ovary syndrome and have been trying to conceive for almost two years now." — Anonymous

"My fiancé and I have been trying for several months with no luck. Each month we hope this will be the moment we've been waiting for, but then the period hits and I just break down and burst into tears." — Anonymous
The process
"For me the biggest pitfall is obsession. We have to think about it a lot because there's a lot to do and figure out ... ovulation predictor kits, charting, seducing your husband at the right time of the month, getting information, finding a good doctor, being forceful and getting what you want from the medical world. I'm an all or nothing kind of person, so I have a hard time finding the balance between working hard to get what I want and turning into a crazy person." — Anonymous
"We've been trying to conceive for a year and a half. I don't have periods, so that's the main struggle. I've been through many surgeries to make sure everything else is fine, and my husband has been checked as well. I've been put on progesterone to start my periods, Clomid for fertility, and metformin for ovulation. It's hard when your friends and family tell you to stop trying, but what they don't understand is that it's not that easy to give up on something you want so badly!" — Anonymous
"I think I'm not alone when I say the biggest stress from infertility is in the bedroom! My husband and I only have sex on a schedule now, and even then we end up skipping months at a time after so many years of trying to conceive. He has lost interest, and I've grown tired of always having to make it all work and try, try, try. Infertility is one of the hardest things I have dealt with in my life." — Anonymous
"My husband and I have been trying for two years off and on. He is in the military and not always around at just the right time. We recently decided it was time to see a doctor. I checked out fine, but his analysis came back with some abnormalities. He is seeing a urologist now and even though we sort of know what the problem is, it seems like it's taking forever to try to do something about it." — Anonymous

Yesterday, we got a chance to know the final four ladies a little bit better. Now it's time for the boys. The top four seeds fought their way to the penultimate match at Roland Garros and ensured we'd get some epicness this fortnight. The top half features Rafael Nadal taking on Andy Murray while the bottom half pits Novak Djokovic against Roger Federer. C'mon, let's take a peek...
BIRTH PLACE: Manacor, Mallorca, Spain
RESIDENCE: Manacor, Mallorca, Spain
SEEDED: 1st
This Spanish southpaw is the 5-time defending champ and has lost only one match on the red clay of Paris in his career. He enjoys long walks along the beaches of his beloved Mallorca with his girlfriend, Xisca Perello, fishing, competing against his boys on Playstation while in their undies and playing down any and all talk of him winning anything. EVAH.
BIRTH PLACE: Dunblane, Scotland
RESIDENCE: London, England and some place in Miami, FL
SEEDED: 4th
This Brit baller is gunning to reach his first final at Roland Garros and fourth overall. He's been known to stretch out his jaw and stick out his tongue (see pic) all weirdly during matches, vacay with Blackberry and his girl, Kim Sears, and, like Rafa, play with his joystick. A LOT.
BIRTH PLACE: Basel, Switzerland
RESIDENCE: Bottmingen, Switzerland and Dubai, too
SEEDED: 3rd
The 16-time Grand Slammer is going for his second title in the City of Light. This husband and father of two enjoys hanging out with his celeb friends such as Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani, and Anna Wintour, monogramming anything he can get his Swiss hands on and swimming while fully clothed (I suppose I would too if I got paid big bucks to do it).
BIRTH PLACE: Belgrade, Serbia
RESIDENCE: Monte Carlo, Monaco
SEEDED: 2nd
This Serb is undefeated in 2011 and is going for his second consecutive major in Paris and third overall. Never one to by shy, he enjoys wearing speedos while walking down runways or being shot for a magazine story, playing tennis on the wings of a plane and swapping spit with his girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, on some of the world's most glamorous red carpets.
Good luck boys!

New era for school district as officials are sworn in
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:46 p.m.
A new era for the Marion County School District officially began on Tuesday as newly elected Superintendent of Schools George Tomyn and two new School Board members were sworn into office.
Tomyn, who won the GOP primary in August and then the general election two weeks ago, scurried around the School Board meeting room shortly before the 11 a.m. ceremony.
Tomyn chose Bob Ward, a retired principal and a namesake of Ward-Highlands Elementary School, to read his oath of office, while his wife Barbara held the Bible.
After the ceremony, Tomyn greeted friends and family, stating he was ready to start a new era after Jim Yancey retired on Monday.
"I'm excited," Tomyn said. "We have an excellent board. After a few days off for the holidays, we will be ready to get to work."
Earlier in the ceremony, District 1 board member Nancy Stacy was sworn into office. Her husband, Rocky, held the Bible while former School Board member Jan Cameron read the oath of office.
After the ceremony, Stacy said the oath marked the end of 20 years of activism on the outside and the beginning of a new journey on the inside.
District 2 board member Carol Ely was also sworn into office on Tuesday. Her husband, Steve, held the Bible while Shady Hill Elementary Principal Donna Cress administered the oath of office.
"It feels great," Ely said after the ceremony. "I'm doing this for the kids, as you can tell," motioning to her grandchildren who were in attendance.
After the event, the School Board held its annual organizational meeting, with 14-year veteran Ron Crawford being named the new chairman and board member Bobby James being named vice chairman.
"I'm looking forward to having a focused agenda," said James, referring to the last four years of bickering that led the board to lose focus on student issues. "That's all I want, a focused agenda."

Senate energy panel members open to carbon plan
A top Democrat and Republican on energy matters in the Senate left the door open to compromise on a potential carbon tax, but a top Republican House energy leader seemed less receptive during a Nov. 15 seminar in Washington, D.C.
The next chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and the ranking Republican on that panel, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, both embraced compromise and at least left the door open for a carbon tax.
But Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky, who chairs the Subcommittee on Energy and Power within the House Energy & Commerce Committee, was more cautious. Whitfield said most House GOP lawmakers won't embrace a carbon tax "until we have a lot more details than what we know now," Whitfield said.
The congressional leaders made their comments during a CQ/Roll Call seminar sponsored by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). During the seminar, which was webcast, Whitfield appeared later than the senators and was not on hand to hear their comments.
Whitfield, did, however, note he is a former Washington, D.C., neighbor of Wyden and has collaborated with him on legislation in the past. Wyden is set to succeed Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The New Mexico Democrat is retiring.
Whitfield said it makes little sense for energy-related panels to pass bills that have scant chance of gaining majority support in the opposite chamber.
Wyden, Murkowski 'love-fest' touted cooperation.
Some subsequent speakers in the two-hour seminar described the joint appearance by Wyden and Murkowski as something of a "love-fest" by the two veteran lawmakers.
"I am going to extend my hand because we are going to work together," Murkowski said as she and Wyden shook hands.
Murkowski indicated that some type of carbon tax might be a more realistic way to address climate change than the unwieldy "cap-and-trade" proposals.
The Waxman-Markey "American Clean Energy and Security Act" featured cap-and-trade as its centerpiece. It passed the then Democrat-controlled House in 2009 but never passed the Senate.
Hurricane Sandy and the so-called "fiscal cliff" have sparked talk that a carbon tax could merit congressional consideration. But Murkowski noted that any carbon tax proposal must be considered mostly for "environmental responsibility" and not revenue generation.
As for the GOP: "We need to show a level of environmental responsibility that is in conjunction to where young people are coming from," Murkowski said. At the same time, young people "also need a decent job," Murkowski said.
Wyden agreed that any energy policy must strike a balance. "It's not really an energy speech" unless lawmakers "say they say are for 'all of the above' at least four times," Wyden said.
Wyden and Murkowski agreed that thousands of jobs could be at risk if there is not a short-term extension of the production tax credit that benefits wind. Both senators also said that a long-term, detailed review of energy subsidies is needed in the future.
For Wyden's part, he suggested that traditional fossil fuels seem to currently get the bulk of the subsidies while more renewable energy sources receive "the crumbs."
At the same time, Wyden realizes that resource-extraction areas of the country don't want to turn into "ghost towns."
Whitfield talks EPA regulation, Yucca Mountain
In the House, Whitfield said his panel's biggest accomplishment in the just-concluding Congress has been putting the brakes on some U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules.
"Not that we stopped a lot of them, but we delayed a lot of them," Whitfield said. The Kentucky Republican said federal appeals court rejection of certain EPA standards proposed for coal plants indicate the extent of the EPA "over-reach" during the Obama administration.
Whitfield also said that the Obama administration erred by turning away from plans for the national nuclear waste repository at Nevada's Yucca Mountain. "I personally believe we would be better off if we just go ahead and finish Yucca Mountain," Whitfield said.
"That was one of the mistakes made by Sen. Harry Reid and others," Whitfield said. Reid, D-Nev., is the Senate majority leader.
Nuclear energy came up again after all the lawmakers left the stage. Environmental Defense Fund Senior Director Elgie Holstein said much of the environmental community still has major concerns about nuclear power but is no longer "reflexively" opposed to it.
The EDF official indicated, however, that waste and financial concerns could keep nuclear from growing as a low-carbon option.
PSEG Power President and COO William Levis said he would have liked to see the lawmakers better define what they mean as "all of the above." Over the years, the Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG) subsidiary has seen its coal, gas and nuclear resources deemed "least cost" options at one time or another.
So Levis said he is skeptical that anybody can accurately predict the energy future. But all panelists were encouraged to see a recent International Energy Agency report that said the United States is on the brink of achieving energy independence.
Exelon (NYSE: EXC) Senior Vice President for Government Affairs David Brown said the weak economy has suppressed energy demand for power providers at the same time there has been a growing degree of subsidies for certain types of generation.
Wayne Barber is chief analyst for generation at GenerationHub, a unit of Energy Central
Closing the Yucca Mountain Repository
Closing the Yucca Mountain Repository was more than a mistake. It was a blatant violaiion of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act 1982 (amended), It was costly, too. $28B collected from customers through their electricity bill; initial funding of the NWPA preliminary search for sites collected in taxes; almost $1B taxpayer funded awards by the courts to five utilities (and 24 more suits have been filed) for the Fed's failure to pick up spent nuclear fuel starting in 1998; plus increased electricity bills to pay for additional SNF on-site storage. And we are further now from closing the nuclear fuel cycle. Impeachment, anyone...?
Another load of DC horsehockey
The federal government in general, including Congress, finds ways to abuse every tax they ever came up with. Just look for instance at Social Security. They started dipping into the Social Security and Medicare funds decades ago to pay for Welfare, AFDC, Medicaid and a host of other programs. All they have succeeding in doing with that is to INCREASE poverty because it disincentived people from working their way out of poverty. Anyone who insists there are no such things as 'welfare babies' is living in an alternate universe. I can virtually assure the nation that if the carbon tax resulted in every single MWh being made by non-CO2 emitting technology, the feds and Congress would find a reason to continue any carbon tax.
Also, can they not see the impact that a carbon tax will have on small businesses and manufacturing trying to compete on the world market?
As for blaming Hurricane Sandy on global climate change, what was the excuse for the hurricanes that hit the eastern seaboard in other times in the past? The amount of damage from Sandy was compounded by it and a nor'easter arriving at the same time and by the amount of coastal development since the previous storm events. I read some governmentally compiled statistics that indicated population growth in the coastal areas has been occuring at roughly 4 times the rate of other areas of the US for many years. And we also have a period of high solar storm activity presently.
As for the thousands of jobs in the wind industry, I read a post on one thread that pointed out that noone has really produced verifiable data about the number of jobs the wind industry has created or, more importantly, maintained.
A Dose of Reality
The President is talking carbon tax to reduce the deficit, which would violate his "promise" not to increase taxes on those earning less than $250,000 per year, since a carbon tax would increase the cost of everything purchased by everyone. I suspect Senator Wyden is in the "consumable" carbon tax camp.
Senator Murkowski appeared to be alluding to the possibility of a "refundable" carbon tax. I no longer believe in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy or even the Great Pumpkin; and, I do not believe in the possibility, no less the likelihood, of a totally refundable tax. I believe our congresscritters are too rapacious to collect taxes and then refund them in total. Also, I believe they are too invested in redistribution to return the taxes collected to those who paid them, when there is an opportunity to buy votes instead.

Visiting Climbers Ignored Bolt Ban, Prompting Armenian Basalt Closure
The climbing world was surprised and saddened to learn this week that a geological wonder—the basalt columns of Armenia—had been closed to climbing. Initial information was unclear and it seemed as if mad-bolting sport climbers were to blame for ignoring the no-bolt rule. It appears now that this was at least partly the case.
According to local climbing activist Mkhitar Mkhitaryan, climbing access to the basalt columns was always tenuous. Technically, climbing in the national monument region that includes the columns was never legal, nor was it specifically banned. Officials simply glossed over the details.
The 35 lines that tacked up the basalt columns were all traditionally protected, and included hard sporty lines such as Alex Chabot's Pixelization (5.12a). "The Camalots must be placed to perfection since the edges of the columns can be sharp as butcher knives," said Chabot in an article on Armenia (Rock and Ice No. 189).
Yet while climber's impacts on the natural features seemed minimal, tensions rose and access was jeopardized several years ago by the installation of bolted rappel stations. Bolts even at rappel stations were subsequently banned, and new stations used nuts and cams exclusively. Despite efforts by locals to develop the crags in a conservative way, and despite a strict no-bolt ethic, visiting "foreign" climbers ignored the ban and continued to drill rap stations. Climbing was banned as a result. In all, the area has approximately 40 bolts at rappel stations. These will be removed says Mkhitaryan. Read more from the local climbing club.

I am using hosted zimbra services from my service provider. The zimbra ver is 8.0.3 which was recently upgraded and given to us. I experienced one issue in task reminders.
When you set any task in zimbra via webclient or outlook connector, the task shows correct reminder date & time. However, when i sync it to ipad, the same task shows the reminder as 'OFF'. This is happening for all task set from webclient and outlook connector.
Has anyone experince similar problem? Is it a bug of zimbra or ipad?

I have a quick suggestion for improving the ease of finding new zimlets.
Last time I looked, I found some zimlets in the zimlet forum that were not in the gallery.
Since the zimlet forum is full of bug reports and WIP, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a Zimlet Release subforums just for releases of new zimlets ?
That way, any Zimlet will be easier to find even if its not in the gallery.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Auburn has fired coach Gene Chizik.
Auburn announced Sunday that Chizik was dismissed two years after leading the Tigers to their first national title since 1957. The Tigers closed with a 49-0 loss to No. 2 Alabama that was the second-most lopsided Iron Bowl game ever and worst since 1948.
The move came after a 3-9 season without any Southeastern Conference wins. It was the most losses by an Auburn team since an 0-10 season in 1950.
Chizik had three years left on a contract worth $3.5 million annually. The announcement came after a team meeting.
The Tigers were outscored 150-21 in their final three SEC games.
He finished 33-19 and 15-17 in SEC games.

Insulation of a Pipeline Section
Application ID: 12096
As oil flows through a pipeline section heat is released due to the work of internal friction forces in the fluid. With good insulation of the pipeline, this generated heat can be used to avoid preheating of the oil, despite the fact that it is to be transported in a cold environment over long distances.
This model uses the Non-isothermal Pipe Flow interface to set up and solve the flow and energy equations describing oil transport in a pipeline section. With the addition of an Optimization interface, the thickness of the pipeline insulation can be found such that the temperature is constant throughout the pipe.

Now that the hard part's over … it's on to the clay-court season!
Yes, VANtage Point is back and ready for some slip-sliding action on the dirt as both tours start one of the most difficult and physically draining stretches of the year. I figure it won't be so hard for me, though: Whenever Rafael Nadal's playing in a tournament, I should pick him for the title. That way, I can get my numbers up! Pretty easy, right?
Anyway, after a week off, let's knock the dust off VP and get to it.
A Look Back: That was some Sony Ericsson Open, wasn't it? I think the most impressive feat had to be Victoria Azarenka taking the title over my pick, Serena Williams. Over at my blog, Tennis Talk, Anyone?, my Slam predictions are riddled with Azarenka picks, but she has never come through for me. I guess I should stick with her now!
For the men, I think one word best sums it up: WOW. What can you say about Andy Murray? Is there any doubt he's the best fast-court player on tour right now? I think he'll get tripped up a little on the clay, but that's a discussion for another day. He took out Novak Djokovic in the finals, who made some of the biggest noise in the tournament by beating Roger Federer. Or was that big noise Roger's racquet being shattered? I can't believe Fed is saying he's happy to get off the hard courts: That's a very bad sign. It wasn't that bad an event for VANtage Point, either, with six of the eight total semifinalists between both draws picked. But I gotta start getting it right on some champs!
This Week's Spotlight: Hmmm, where to start? Well, there's a WTA event in Spain that has Serena Williams as the top seed, but I'm expecting her to drop out any second now and the rest of the draw doesn't intrigue me. So I'm going with my traditionalist's side and taking a look at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, one of the oldest stops on the tour. The top seeds are James Blake and Mardy Fish, who won the title in 2006.
Players to Watch: Catch him while you can because I think last-year's runner-up Blake is going out in the first round to Guillermo "Slick Willy" Canas. There's three wild cards in the draw whose prospects I'm intrigued by: comeback kid Taylor Dent, John Isner and Tommy Haas. I like Haas to make a good run here. As for the defending champ, Marcel Granollers, I can see him going out early, too. A player I think you should really watch out for, here and during the dirt season, is Frenchman Jeremy Chardy.
The Final Fours: Since I just mentioned him, I'm going with Chardy over Evgeny Korolev and Jurgen Melzer over Tommy Haas.
And the Winner Is: Chardy takes out Haas in a shotmaking fan's dream. This is my week, I can feel it!

VANtage Point: Miami flashback, honing in on Houston

If you mean "right now" as in "this week", then maybe. If you mean "this year", then no. Check out the ATP Race (points from hardcourt tourneys so far this year):
Nadal is the best hardcourt player of the year right now, Murray is the second-best. Rafa won AO (major) and IW (Masters); Murray won Miami (Masters) and 2 other small tourneys.
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 10:08 AM
i'm also waiting for serena to drop out any second. the commentators on CBS over the weekend were talking about how she's managed to stay healthy throughout her career. i was like, what?! she's injured every year and pulling out of non-slam tourneys all the time like it's her job! lol, whatever.ReplyDelete
oh and this is not necessarily directed at just you van, but felt i needed to say something given you kinda mentioned it. so....everyone's freaking out over andy murray and saying he's the best right now! honestly, not that impressed with the caliber of players he beat in miami - most of them had some sort of problem on court. and IW was relatively lametown as well. anyways, i think it's crap to say he's the best when it's very apparent that rafa's had the best start to the year (point wise, trophy wise) and he's the clearly the best player, IMO. the british media is trippin' balls over this, which also makes me laugh bc i would die laughing if he just yelled out, even just once, "shut up i'm scottish!!!" HAHAHA

I think you have to look at Murray's results from the last six or seven months. In the last few months he beat Rafa twice, Nole three times in a row, and had Fed's number. We are talking about multiple wins against top three players. I think he had displayed the skill and form and proved that he is right up there with Rafa.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Even on Serena's web site she did not have this week tournament as one of the scheduled tournaments that she planned to plan. Can you believe she would fly to Spain, play this week, then fly back to the US and play in Charleston, where she is the defending championa, and a bigger tournament. I don't think so. The organizer might pay her a lot of appearance fee, but with that injury, she probably would just call off the whole thing the last minute.ReplyDelete
Anybody knows if she had flown to Spain after Saturday's whipping?
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 11:42 AM
Serena and Kournikova stories. I'd email them but I can't open my account.ReplyDelete
You have to look at the hard court season as a whole, not just this year. Murray has been hot all season pretty much since it started following Wimbledon. Rafa may have become number one during this period, but I feel Andy has been more consistent than Rafa (even tho Rafa has been remarkable). Also, like was mentioned, Andy has a great record against the three guys ahead of him (remember he gave Rafa his first loss since being no.1 at the US Open).ReplyDelete
Re: the Fed comment, he said he is glad the hard court season is over because it is tough on his back, not because he isn't liking the court. I think it's a good sign because it means his back can get rested properly and he can come back to form.
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Let's look at the hardcourt season as a whole (from Wimbledon 2008 until Miami 2009).ReplyDelete
Rafa won 1 major (AO), plus Olympic Gold, plus 2 Masters (Canada, IW), while Murray won 3 Masters (Cinci, Madrid, Miami), plus 2 small hardcourt turneys.
Their h2h in this period on hardcourt is 2-2 (Canada & IW for Rafa, USO & Rotterdam for Murray). Last time they played on hardcourt (at IW), Rafa won.
So, no, Andy was not more consistent than Rafa on hardcourt this season. Nadal still won more points and more important tournaments (on his worst surface, as opposed to Andy's best).
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 1:22 PM
Nobody said Murray is better than Rafa, or he is the best. We are talking about the players' forms, and we have to agree that Murray is right up there with Rafa.ReplyDelete
By the way, UOE tournament is not a small tournament - it has all the top ten players except Davydenko. It is as competitive as any top tournaments. The Arabs were throwing gazzilion $$ to the players to have them show up. That field is tough.
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 1:33 PM
according to the marbella site and via tennis.com, serena has landed in spain today. perhaps she's play her first match, retire in it, then take a nice vaca in spain. she's def getting paid well to fly out there, that's for sure.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 1:53 PM
What do you mean "nobody said Murray is better than Rafa, or he is the best"?!ReplyDelete
That is precisely what the original post claimed: "Is there any doubt he's the best fast-court player on tour right now?"
As for the "small" tournaments - they ARE small because they yield less points and have less number of players in the draw than the Masters & majors.
As shown by the ATP Race 2009, Nadal has more points than Murray so far this year (and all the point are from hardcourts). It's the same if you look at the whole hardcourt season (check the ranking points breakdown for both players at the ATP site): Nadal has 7.330 and Murray has 7.220 hardcourt points.
BTW, Murray is a hardcourt specialist, 82% of his total points come from hardcourts (Nadal's only 51%).
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Guys, you guys are cracking me up. I am not sure how you get the stats. Can't compare apples and oranges.ReplyDelete
Let's focus on hard courts. If we only take those tournaments that they both have to play (since Rafa did not play some of the hard courts that Murray did), then we are only taking the slams and the master series events.
these tournaments are US and Aussie Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Madrid, Cincinatti, and Master Cup. Murray has 6230 and Rafa has 5980.
If we take away the Master Cup (even a must play) then Murray has 5630.
However, Van said "fast court"... then a fast court should include Grass. So if we add Wimbledon, then the clear winner is Rafa.
However, I conclude that they are at the top of the game when it comes to hard court.
Didn't bother to look up Fed's records even though he won the US Open. He currently does not hold any master series title....
He wins Miami by beating Del Potro and a "not in form" Djokovic. He didn't have to play Nadal or Federer.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 3:14 PM
Not comparing apples and oranges, those 7.330 vs. 7.220 points are from all hardcourt tournaments that Nadal and Murray did play during the season.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 6, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Fed's hardcourt records are FOURTH for the season (after Djokovic).ReplyDelete
Countable hardcourt ranking points for Federer are 5.770 or 52% of his total points for the season.
For Djokovic it is 5.830 or 65%.
Wow. Those stats are waaay too much for my brain to handle. Especially on a Monday...ReplyDelete
- johanneApril 6, 2009 at 5:49 PM
well clearly rafa & andy have had the best start to the year so we'll see where it goes from here. but vamos rafa! (obvs) :)ReplyDelete
so...im sorry but that final sucked major a-hole. the level of play was just blah, i don't know maybe it's just me. nole was having his heat issues, as per usual, which is frustrating when you know how well he can play. and then andy just bores me to tears. plus when he yelled at a ball kid "i want an ice towel and the umbrella right NOW!!" i was like, ok you're an ass. boo. but congrats nonetheless (honestly not being sarcastic here, sometimes that's hard to convey!) i guess i just wish nole had his A-game with him and that andy didn't put me to sleep and yell at people. but you can't always get what you want :(
Hey everyone, I didn't want you all to think I posted and ran! I hate to throw out another wrinkle, but check this out: If Nadal and Murray play 10 times at regular hard-court or indoor or grass events—Dubai, Rotterdam, Queens, etc., you know events at that level—how many times do you think Murray would win? I'm going to say at LEAST eight.ReplyDelete
Now when you get to the Masters events on the faster stuff, I think it gets more even between them and it's a toss-up. Come Slam time, the scales tip toward Nadal, just because he knows how to get it done.
So, I think technically Murray's better on fast courts, but Nadal's stronger mentally. If that makes any sense!
Agree completely, that Jeremy Chardy is one to watch. Smooth, effortless game with lots of serve and volley.ReplyDelete
Things are working out well for Rafa. I think he had mentioned he had hoped that while winning a few more hardcourt tournaments, that the others in the top 3 would split them up, taking the pressure off of him. This was before the A.O., so good on him for getting a couple as well.

For best results, cut potatoes and cauliflower into equal-size pieces to ensure even cooking.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
This low-fat variation of a classic side dish is made extra special with the addition of KRAFT Lite Ranch Dressing. And as a bonus, the potatoes provide vitamin C.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
Although the cauliflower gave a nice flavor to the potatoes, I was overall disappointed in this recipe. I thought the cauliflower did not mash up evenly and put too many "lumps" in the potatoes. I used the 1/4 cup of Ranch Dressing, but did not use the "light" dressing. This measurement of 1/4 did not add enough flavor - need to use more of the dressing. Again, overall not happy with this easy recipte.
This receipe was good. I used dry ranch seasoning instead of regular ranch. Only about 1/4 to 1/2 of the pack is needed. My dad really dislikes cooked cauliflower, but didn't realize it had any in it. I will definatly make this again because of its nutrition values.
