When I run IRC calculations with Jaguar, I sometimes get no points, and sometimes points that don't make sense. What's the problem?
If the IRC path has a lower symmetry than the transition state, you might obtain no IRC points or erroneous points if you run the calculation with symmetry on. In this case you should turn symmetry off. Symmetry is automatically turned off if you calculate the Hessian as part of the IRC calculation.
Keywords: Jaguar, symmetry, intrinsic reaction coordinate

Michael B. Jordan was recently cast as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the upcoming "Fantastic Four" movie, but his casting in the role didn't come without backlash from some critics because the new Johnny Storm is black. According to a report by E! News on March 7, Jordan addressed the backlash surrounding the film at a news conference in Rome.
The 27-year-old actor, who was actually at the conference for his "Fruitvale Station" premiere, took time to address the controversy surrounding his casting.
"It was expected. You kinda know going into it that people are used to seeing something one way, it's a continuity thing more than anything. People don't like change too much."
Jordan accepted reaction knowing that you can't please everybody. As a fan of the comic version and the character that he is playing, he gave those upset about the casting the benefit of the doubt by attributing it to "continuity" and not associating it to race. But as an actor he can only do his job.
"You can't make everybody happy. You just gotta accept that and know. I'm an actor, I have to do my job. I'm going to do my job the best I can and the way I've been doing it my entire life, my entire career."
As an actor, Michael B. Jordan has the challenge of making some of those same critics accept and conform to his image of Johnny Storm. Jordan is excited to begin work on the movie and just wants to do the best job he can do.

Have you heard of Glossybox? It's a beauty box subscription service. You pay a monthly subscription fee of $21 and each month a pretty pink box shows up with five new beauty products. Most of them are trial sized, but at least one of them is full sized.
For the beauty junkie, it's a great way to find and try new products, all high end. It would also make a really good gift for the product lover in your life, maybe a sister or friend?
If you were part of the HH facebook page, you could have helped me troubleshoot my Keurig coffee machine (why has it suddenly started pouring shorties?!), or chastized me for confusing everyone with my Father's Day Guift Guide.
Speaking of facebook, and of confusion, it has come to my attention that even if you have "liked" the HH page, you still may not be seeing all of my posts in your news stream. There are two ways to fix this:
1. Go to the HH facebook page. Hover your mouse over the "liked" button. Make sure "Show In News Feed" is selected.
2. Go to the HH facebook page. "Like" or leave a comment on any one of the posts there. I'm not fishing for likes here, but if you've had some sort of interaction with the page, it tells facebook's algorithm that you want that content in your stream.
On a more exiting note, I'm headed to Charlotte, North Carolina next week for the Type A Conference. In fact, I'm an official blog partner of the conference, which I think just means I'm going to have a super time.
If you'll be at the conference, let me know so we can make sure and meet! Blog conferences tend to make me melt down in hotel rooms, but I always walk away better for the experience. Maybe it's a sign of maturity, or maybe I've just tucked two years of blogging under my belt, but I'm not ever nervous for Type A. I know there will be interesting people and things to learn and I'm really looking forward to it.

I've slowly come to the realization that anything that must get done in the day, must get done in the morning. I hate this realization. Want Success? Fix Your Mornings. (Yahoo)
This is a friend of friend. He worked and MTV and then he left MTV. He made a video about it. I know a couple of people in the video, but I what I really liked about it was that he captured the feeling over there. I used to work at MTV. Then I left MTV. It's a time in my life that will stick with me always.
If you want a good chuckle to your day, you must go hit up Pinterest You Are Drunk. Even the name makes me giggle. (Thanks to Jen for that one.)
I really loved the honesty of this post from Cassie at Hi Sugarplum. Doing It All. Who Does???
My friend Nora (I posted about our friendship here) has a book coming out in July. In fact, I'm throwing her a book release party! Here's the website for Nora and for her book. I couldn't be more proud.
Lastly, my column at allParenting this week was about my deep and abiding love for wallpaper. I listed my current favorites and showed pictures of the wallpaper in my own home. If you like bold walls, you'll want to see this post.
Happy weekend, HH readers!

Secrets of Success
What a differenceĀa Century makes
Monday, July 15, 2013
As I move to be the oldest generation and in fact the Elder of my family, I thought about being a senior citzen and how things had really changed in the last 100 years. Just think...that is only my mother and me! Our lives are funny! She used to say ōI remember whenö but I think that until I reached my 60's and she was gone, I never really understood either the ōway it wasö or how many current events became history in her lifetime. Neither can I, looking back, fathom at times how things have changed in mine!
Just for thought, the below facts represent the world that she was born in!
The average life expectancy in the US was 47 years.
Only 14 percent of the homes in the US had a bathtub
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.
There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California.
With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.
The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour.
The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, A veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and A mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year!
More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home.
Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard."
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason.
The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.
Women could not vote.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30!!!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented.
There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Two of 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write.
Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."
Eighteen percent of households in the U.S had at least one full-time servant or domestic.
There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.
Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. It staggers the mind.

It certainly does. . . "stagger the mind". Wow! That is quite a list! I thoroughly enjoyed it because most of it, I did not know. You are right - what a difference 100 years makes. This got me to thinking about the time that has passed in my own life. I was born in 1961 - and in just 52 short years, much has changed. The doctor who delivered me was smoking in the delivery room. Prayer was allowed in public schools. We started each day with the Pledge of Allegiance. When I first learned to drive, gasoline cost .35 a gallon. PCs, the internet, cell phones, text messaging, emails, cable TV, DISH Network, Netflix, SparkPeople. . . did not exist. And on and on it goes. When you really stop to think about it, things have changed so very much. Some for the better, some for the worst. I won't be alive 100 years from now, but I sure would like to know what the world does between now and then. Will it be a better place? I hope so. I pray so.

HTC Says It's Fixing Flaw That Exposed User Data
Phone maker HTC says it's working on a fix for a security hole that allows apps to access email addresses, location and texting data even if a user hasn't given them permission to do so.
The vulnerability, which was discovered by security researcher Trevor Eckhart and reported on the site Android Police over the weekend, affected some HTC phones running Google's Android operating system.
Here's what the researchers found: Ordinarily, Android apps that access sensitive data like location and account information must notify users before installation. But some HTC phones came with software that gathered data from users and then made it available to other apps on the phone.
It is unclear why HTC was gathering the data itself, although the company says the software "does no harm to customers' data."
But what was more troubling for the researchers was that the HTC software allowed potentially malicious apps to access the data, even if those apps didn't notify users that they were getting that amount of information.
To connect to the HTC software, apps only have to ask for permission to connect to the Internet. While a user might be suspicious of an unknown app that asks to access massive amounts of information, apps that simply connect to the Internet are far more common and are less likely to raise any eyebrows – potentially allowing apps to get troves of user information without a person's knowledge.
"It's like leaving your keys under the mat and expecting nobody who finds them to unlock the door," the researchers wrote.
HTC acknowledged the flaw could be exploited by malicious applications, but the company said that so far it has "not learned of customers being affected."
"HTC is working very diligently to quickly release a security update that will resolve the issue on affected devices," an HTC spokesman said in a statement. "Following a short testing period by our carrier partners, the patch will be sent over-the-air to customers, who will be notified to download and install it. We urge all users to install the update promptly."
The company did not provide a timeline for the update but said that it is urging customers to "use caution" when downloading apps from untrusted sources.

With teams scrapping the waiver wire week in and week out for help at the wide receiver position, Mike Williams remains unsigned. The tenth overall selection of the 2005 NFL Draft played for the Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, and Tennessee Titans but failed to stick with any of them. Let's take a look back at what went wrong with Mike Williams.
The Draft
After beginning the 2004 season with a strong 4-2 start, the Lions reverted back to their old ways and lost 8 of their next 10. They possessed the #10 overall selection in the 2005 NFL Draft and their pick was arguably the most criticized and laughed at decision among analysts and fans across the country. General Manager Matt Millen's love for the sexy wide receivers that look good on paper when it came to measurables and potential had struck the Lions franchise before. In 2003, Millen selected Michigan State wide receiver Charles Rogers at #2 overall and used the 7th pick in 2004 on Roy Williams out of Texas. Yes, three years in a row Millen used his top ten pick on a wide receiver while the team needs were overlooked. Williams was too much for Millen to pass on as his 6'5" frame and outstanding ball skills near the end zone were traits that he did not feel would come around very often. And Millen would still argue to this very day that it wasn't just mere potential that put Williams so high on their draft board as he finished his college career with 176 receptions – 2,579 yards – 30 touchdowns in just two seasons. While the need for a wide receiver simply was not there, this was a typical "Best Player Available" strategy by the Lions front office. While the list of players that could have helped the Lions more could go on for years, some of the most notable first round picks that were called on after him were DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, Aaron Rogers, and Roddy White.
Coming from USC in an era where the coaching was as good as it got in college football (Pete Carrol, Norm Chow, and Lane Kiffin), Williams entered the NFL with more knowledge of the game than most prospects. In his two years as a Detroit Lion, Williams was coached by two different head coaches and two different offensive coordinators. The team itself was consistently at the bottom of the barrel looking up and patience is always thin there. The lack of continuity certainly did not aid the process of Williams and his up and down work ethic. When coaching changes are being made as rapidly as they have been in Detroit, players tend to have much less allegiance to the franchise and become more independent thinkers from the team. While the blame will not be solely placed on the Lions coaches, Williams could have at the very least been a steady contributor if the right man was in position and stayed there.
Surrounding Personnel
Both of Williams quarterbacks while with the Lions are still in the NFL. Problems are that neither of them were good enough to stay on one of the worst teams in the league and neither of them are starters elsewhere. Jon Kitna and Joey Harrington were the kind of signal callers that drew rave reviews in offseason workouts and training camp but when it came to Sundays during the fall, neither were even close to consistent. Williams was the kind of receiver that needed an accurate thrower of the football because of his lack of agility to adjust to balls of the mark, neither Kitna or Harrington possessed that in their tool set. A lot was put on Williams table early on, as the Lions playmakers were mediocre and their offensive line struggled in 2005. There wasn't a running back even close to sniffing 1,000 yards and the leading receiver, Roy Williams, caught just 45 passes for 687 yards. In 2006 however the offense was more productive but Williams lost out on the opportunity to make his presence known as he was constantly being leapfrogged on the depth chart. After his trade to Oakland in 2007, Williams again was unable to make an impact because of the veterans ahead of him. Wide receivers in this league should be able to make plays when being single covered, but Williams never got to that point.
At 6'5", 230 pounds Williams was a prospect that scouts, coaches, and personnel officials drooled over. He had the size to go up and reach for the high pass and he had enough speed to get behind defensive backs. While his 4.55 forty time was not exactly eye popping, his game tapes at USC led many to believe he played more than fast enough to excel in the NFL. Because of the one year layoff between his final season at USC and his rookie year with Detroit, Williams lost a lot of the natural feel he displayed as a Trojan. He couldn't get off press coverage despite his size for a few reasons. First, he stood straight up as he broke off the line, giving cornerbacks a huge target to zero in on with their hands. Secondly, his feet looked heavy when he tried to juke the coverage. He looked as if he were in slow motion trying to give false steps to the cornerback. Once he was into his route, his ability to cut on a dime and make a break without losing speed was non-existent. The route tree he ran at USC was very limited and when he was asked to run deep ins or outs, or a double post, it simply took him too long. He would often lose balance as a result of trying to move faster than he was capable in breaks which even further threw off the timing the passer would try to develop with him. On top of all the pre-catch struggles Williams had, his hands were not reliable in the least. He had concentration issues, especially over the middle where a big target like himself could be used the most. Williams simply looked too slow against NFL defenders and without a stand out trait elsewhere, he turned into a complete non-factor.
Work Ethic
As a high school senior, many schools were recruiting Williams as a tight end. Why? Because of his weight control issues. Those issues arose in the NFL as he was said to have showed up to an Oakland Raiders workout at almost 270 pounds. Like JaMarcus Russell whom I discussed in the last "What Went Wrong", Williams did not comprehend how vital it was to keep his body in top shape as a professional athlete. While he did have a year away from the game, it was blatantly obvious that the work ethic that could have gotten the most out of him was not there. The issues he had entering the NFL are the same exact ones he has right now that prevent him from being signed to a roster. Young receivers are often found staying after practice being tutored by their quarterbacks, but Jon Kitna was harsh on Williams for leaving the facility the second the bell rang every day. Talent is necessary for the wide receiver position, but that alone will not make you an impact player. Williams refused to work on his weaknesses and it cost him and his teams dearly.
The Problem
Again, Mike Williams was not thrown into an ideal situation. The two teams he played for in actual games are arguably the two worst organizations in football this decade. He never played with a steady presence at quarterback and he was never part of an effective offensive system that suited his skill set. But I refuse to make excuses for Williams as I think his career in the NFL is officially over despite the fact he was drafted just four years ago. While DeMarcus Ware and Roddy White are receiving their first monster contracts, Williams is sitting at home waiting for a tryout to be offered. And there in lies the problem with Williams. He does not work to increase the level of his game and the talent he does have is merely average. It is hard to imagine what could have been with him, but a career similar to the one Vincent Jackson is starting to put together could have certainly been possible. The difference between the two has very little to do with talent and/or ability, but rather work ethic and passion for the game.

Notre Dame shines in historic NFL Draft weekend
Tears, Instagram pictures and a lot of exclamation marks punctuated NFL Draft weekend for several former Notre Dame players.
For the first time since 1994, eight former Notre Dame players were picked in the NFL Draft, tying Alabama for the second most of any college program. LSU's nine picks ranked first.
Additionally, six former Irish signed with NFL teams as undrafted free agents, bringing Notre Dame's grand total to 14 by the end of the weekend, May 8-10.
A review of where Notre Dame's former stalwarts ended up:
Zack Martin, offensive line
1st round: Dallas Cowboys (16th pick)
Former Irish on current roster: N/A
The dream has become a reality!! I'm a Cowboy baby!
— Zack Martin (@thegob70) May 9, 2014
Martin — who spent his entire collegiate career at left tackle but will likely be shifted to left guard — is now tasked with protecting quarterback Tony Romo. Lauded as a "safe" pick in the weeks leading up to the draft, Martin is a valuable add to Dallas's already strong front line.
After his pick, Martin reflected on what head coach Jason Garrett said to him:
"He just said 'congratulations, you're the type of guy we want on this team and get ready to go to work.' I'm ready to go down there and start competing and be a part of this team."
Stephon Tuitt, defensive end
2nd round: Pittsburgh Steelers (46th pick)
Former Irish on current roster: N/A
— stephon tuitt (@DOCnation_7) May 11, 2014
Though bitten by injury that plagued him through big chunks of his sophomore and junior campaigns, Tuitt's size, shape and potential proved too great to pass by.
Tuitt's was brought to tears when selected by the Steelers and carried that emotion to his post-draft interviews.
"Oh my gosh it's exciting. It's a blessing to be part of this defense, and tremendous," he said. "I can't wait to get there tomorrow and help this team and be part of an organization that many people don't get a chance to be part of and I get a chance to be part of."
Troy Niklas, tight end
2nd round: Arizona Cardinals (52nd pick)
Former Irish on current roster: John Carlson (TE, '07), Robert Hughes (RB, '10), Michael Floyd (WR, '11).
Niklas joins former teammate Michael Floyd in the Arizona receiving corps, though the 6-foot-6, 296-pound converted linebacker will be utilized largely as a blocking tight end. Niklas's decision to leave Notre Dame after his junior year was met with many a raised eyebrow concerning Niklas's relative inexperience at the position. Now Niklas has a third round draft pick to show for it.
"I've still got a lot to learn, and that's something that I didn't hide from teams," Niklas said following his selection. "I said that I had only been playing tight end for two years, but I think in a sense it can be an asset also, because I haven't been able to learn bad techniques and really develop a lot of those bad qualities that you can develop through bad coaching. We didn't have bad coaching at Notre Dame. Personally, I think it will help coach be able to mold me into the tight end that he wants me to be instead of having to change me from something I've already become."
Louis Nix, nose guard
3rd round: Houston Texans (83rd pick)
Former Irish on current roster: N/A
Chicken Time!!!
— lOUIS NIX III (@1IrishChocolate) May 10, 2014
"I mean it's time to eat." -Nix on why he tweeted "chicken time!!!" after he was drafted. #Texans #Chicken
— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) May 10, 2014
The jumbo sized nose guard with an even bigger personality went a bit later in the draft than expected, but it was worth the wait. Nix will join J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney on an increasingly imposing Houston Texans line.
"I've never thought ever in life that would happen, but having the chance to play next to Clowney, J.J. Watt, and everybody else on the defense, I'm just super excited and happy," Nix told houstontexans.com.

Though largely overshadowed by Martin, Watt landed squarely in his third-to-fifth round projections. Watt became just as crucial as Martin during his years on the Notre Dame offensive line, starting 37 out of 39 games in three years. As long as Watt stays healthy, he's a solid fit for the Chargers.
Watt provided chargers.com a brief self-assessment following his selection:
"I'd say he is a smart player and understands how to block. Knows to play through to the whistle and make the most out of every opportunity he gets. I'm coming out there to really work my (tail) off basically."
Prince Shembo, linebacker
4th round: Atlanta Falcons (139th pick)
Former Irish on current roster: Zeke Motta (S, '12)
ATL HERE I COME!!!!! GOD IS GREAT!!!! http://t.co/CdhHXpqLL4
— Prince Shembo (@Your_Highness55) May 10, 2014
An aggressive, oft-underrated linebacker who addressed his connection to the Lizzy Seeberg sexual assault investigation in 2010, Shembo was under the microscope of NFL offices during player interviews.
Shembo said he was up front with the Falcons concerning the Seeberg case during the interviews.
"All I can say is I met with all the Falcons guys, I told them exactly what happened, and I had a great time talking to them," Shembo told ESPN. "And they were able to see me. Now, I'm just ready to play for them."
Bennett Jackson, cornerback
6th round: New York Giants (187th pick)

& it's only just the beginning #Gmen pic.twitter.com/svZcs1IbRA
— Bennett Jackson Jr. (@B_Jax2) May 11, 2014
Jackson has the size and speed to play at the next level, but an underwhelming 2013 campaign (tied, in part, to a lingering shoulder injury) likely lowered his stock.
Still, a healthy Jackson may prove valuable for New York and film from 2012 likely showed that.
T.J. Jones, wide receiver
6th round: Detroit Lions (189th pick)
Former Irish on current roster: Theo Riddick (RB, '12), Golden Tate (WR, '09)
Thankful for the opportunity to begin my career where my father ended his career. It all comes full circle! #DetroitLions
— TJ Jones (@Tj2Smoove) May 11, 2014
A receiver-rich draft scooted Jones back a round or two later than he may have otherwise been selected. Jones skyrockted from his junior to senior years, combining speed and strength with reliability. Under the tutelage of Detroit megastar receiver Calvin Johnson, Jones will only get better.

Margie Notte: Too Close for Comfort
Too Close for Comfort
Margie Notte (vocals)
Just You, Just Me: Live at Cecil's (Gnote Records GRCD-1001)
Margie Notte (vocals),
Don Braden (saxes, flute), Jason Teborek (piano), Tom DiCarlo (bass), Cecil Brooks III (drums).
Composed by J. Bock, L. Holofcener & G.D. Weiss.
Recorded: West Orange, NJ, April 27, 2008
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
Regardless of who sings "Too Close for Comfort," I think of Ella Fitzgerald. It doesn't even matter whether a man or a woman sings the tune. I still think of Ella. So it's under that light that all versions are measured. If there were to be a movie about Ella's life, I nominate Margie Notte to supply the voice. She doesn't copy Fitzgerald, but comes pretty close to channeling her. It is an enjoyable déjŕ vu performed in front of a live audience you feel every bit a part of. Saxophonist Don Braden, who acts as producer, musician and even CD cover photographer, is joined by pianist Jason Teborek, bassist Tom DiCarlo and drummer Cecil Brooks III to form an impressive quartet to back Notte. The song even includes a slow reprise ending that would fit perfectly into that Ella biopic they should make. "Too Close for Comfort" is part of a hot set from Notte and her band. Investigate it. Closely.

For some time now, there has been talk about whether or not Apple CEO Tim Cook is indeed gay or not. While it isn't a huge deal, it has been a topic that's been brought up time and time again as Cook often shows his public support for LGBT rights. Well, as Recode pointed out on June 27, 2014, CNBC had a panel in which the discussion was openly gay executives and one panelist accidentally outed Tim Cook as "openly gay."
Cook has never publicly discussed his personal life and some news outlets have insinuated that he's gay, but never actually said it. Simon Hobbs, co-host for "Squawk on the Street" decided to take the insinuations a step further.
New York Times columnist James Stewart was speaking of his column on Tim Cook from last month, and stated he reached out to the gay CEOs of many companies. He said that "not one would allow to be named at all," but he got a cool reception.
That was when Hobbs decided to open his mouth.
"I think Tim Cook is fairly open about the fact he's gay at the head of Apple, isn't he?" said Hobbs.
At this point, the panel went absolutely silent. It literally just turned to dead silence in the news room and everyone stared in disbelief at Hobbs. Finally, the silence was broken by Stewart who said:
"I don't want to comment about anybody who might or might not be. I'm not going to out anybody."
Stewart's expression was pure television gold as he shook his head in complete and utter disbelief. The rest of the panel had no clue what to say or do, and hearing Hobbs attempt to recover by saying, "Oh dear, was that an error?" was phenomenally awkward.
Tim Cook has time and time again shown his support for LBGT rights, and was even the most powerful LGBT person on Out's 2013 power list. Still, Tim Cook has never come out and said anything personally about his sexual preference.
CNBC declined to comment on this morning's panel and Apple has not yet said anything either.

As fascinating as the service was, we didn't use it beyond a few brief sessions. Why that is, I'm not sure. Perhaps it was just too great of a paradigm shift, or it simply didn't meet our needs. No matter the case, it seems we weren't the only ones to abandon Wave amid waning curiosity. Google officially blames the project's death on a lack of user adoption.
Although development has halted, the company says it will maintain the site "at least" through the end of the year. Additionally, it's creating tools to let users easily "liberate" their content from Wave. Core parts of the code are already available as open source if you'd like to pick up where Google left off. Love it or hate it, say your piece in the comments.

It's a Small World
November 30, 2011
Meet some members of our Quarter Horse community in the December America's Horse.
I remember, as a kid, thumbing through The American Quarter Horse Journal and being awestruck by the trainers and horses I saw there. Shebester Stallion Station, with its beautiful interstate-frontage paddocks, was the stuff of more dreams for me — it was, as the sign out front proclaimed, home to Bugs Alive In 75, winner of the 1975 All American Futurity.
One day, worn down by my begging, my parents stopped in at the Wynnewood, Oklahoma, farm and asked if we could meet the famous stallion. Someone — maybe the farm manager? — ushered us right in. Talk about a dream come true.
Now, lo many years later, it was my privilege to write a story about some barrel-horse breeders in Oklahoma who were using the "Bugs Alive" bloodline in their program. One of their foals, Yeah Hes Firen, was named the co-barrel horse of the year by AQHA and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Phyllis Wells and her husband, Tommy, had been in the business since the 1960s.
As we talked about their history, Tommy revealed that he had been manager of Shebester Stallion Station and was, most likely, the courteous gentleman who gave us the grand tour. Cue the music to "It's a Small World After All …"
Read more about our encounter — and the Wellses' breeding program — in the December issue of America's Horse magazine, which goes exclusively to AQHA members.
Of course, we also profiled all of the AQHA-PRCA horses of the year. One of them — a luminary from both the rodeo and show arenas — graces the America's Horse cover. Eighteen-year-old Eightys Sport, a two-time AQHA world champion and previous horse of the year, is this year's tie-down roping honoree. The winners hail from Texas, Oklahoma, Washington, Colorado and Arizona. Get acquainted with them as a great lead-in to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, where many of them will compete beginning December 1.
Another great article in the December America's Horse comes from horseman and clinician Joe Wolter, who has advice on how to catch the correct lead when the conventional wisdom fails. Joe sees students overthinking their cues, instead of thinking like a horse — which is really the key to success.
Also in the magazine:
- An invitation to the 2012 AQHA convention in March
- An introduction to two endurance-riding American Quarter Horses who are still going strong
- A behind-the-scenes look at the movie "Seven Days in Utopia," which had Robert Duvall taking the reins on an American Quarter Horse stallion owned by L.A. Waters Quarter Horses
- And, as always, lots of great tips and AQHA news that will help you enjoy your American Quarter Horses even more.
Not a member? We can fix that for you. Join AQHA and start receiving America's Horse as one of your member benefits. You'll also enjoy great corporate partner discounts from companies like Ford, John Deere and more. And you'll be joining forces with the world's largest breed association, helping promote what we think is the world's best breed!
Happy riding (and reading)!

There are thousands of exercise tips online that you can find, many of them are good tips, many of them are common sense. The ones in this list are tips that you may not know and you may have never heard them. these are good tips that will help protect you as you exercise, and also help your exercise to be more productive. Safety tips especially are not something you want to find out after you're injured.
1. Warm up correctly. Many people will warm up on a treadmill or jumping jacks etc. The best way to warm up before you work out is to warm up the muscles you are going to be working. If you are doing Chest and back for example, do your warmup with some bench press with just the bar and some lat pulldowns with very low weight. This will get your muscles warm and also help to stretch them out with light weight so you will be less likely to get injured when you're doing your work sets.
2. Stretch between sets. After you finish a set on a muscle, stretch that muscle for 20 or 30 seconds before next set. This will loosen the muscle up and give you a better next set. It will also increase your strength according to a recent study in Boston.
3. Don't wear a weight belt. The only time you should wear a weight belt is if you are doing lifts that you're going for a max lift on squats, deadlifts, and overhead press. Wearing a weight belt while you are doing normal sets during a workout has been shown to give no benefit, and it may also weaken your abs and lower back muscles over time.
4. Don't exercise if you're sick. If you exercise when you're sick, your body will use the resources that it takes for your muscles to recover away from fighting your sickness and it will take you longer to heal. The exception is if you just have a head cold. Take a break and let your body heal. You won't get a great workout anyway if you're sick.
5. Don't take a pain relief pill after workouts. Research at University of Arkansas medical sciences division have shown the taking Tylenol, or other pain relief pills after a workout will not give you any relief, and it may also retard the muscle growth that you just worked for.
6. Always keep stats. Keep stats on your workout weight and reps, and also keep stats on your body. Once a month you should do body measurements and weigh yourself. Having these stats will show you visible change in your body and show results, to show that you are getting something for all your hard work. It's good to see as well as motivation to keep it up.
7. Count your reps backwards. Many people find it more motivating to count down your reps instead of up. Your mind will push harder to get to the last rep going down than it will going up. If you're going for 10 reps, the last one is easier if it's 1 as opposed to it being 10. Try it and you will see.
8. Save your shoulders. Pushups are one of my favorite exercises, you get so much benefit from the work you do. When doing push ups, keep your elbows in close to your body. I have done thousands of pushups with my elbows out wide to work the chest harder. If you do them with your elbows in, it still works your chest, but it works the triceps harder and it it so much easier on your shoulders.
9. Do your exercises in the right order. Start with dumbbell exercises, dumbbells work smaller stabilizer muscles that get fatigued easier. next go to barbell exercises, they don't use the smaller stabilizers as much. Finish with machines, the machines don't require hardly any of the stabilizer muscles because the machine does the stabilizing for you on most lifts.
10. When cycling stay on the seat. When cycling try to keep your pedal pace between 80 and 110 rpm's. If you stay seated and use your gearing to keep your pace in this range, you will be able to pedal farther and faster with much less knee strain and you will not get fatigued.
Most everyone agrees that we all need to exercise, I feel that if you have to do it, you should get the very most out of ever exercise you do while your doing it. These tips are some that I have found over the years to be very effective and will help you get the most benefit out of the time you put into your workouts. They really do work, give them a try.

The Last Arizona-Kansas State Meeting: In recording the aforementioned 125-87 victory over Kansas State on Dec. 30, 1997, the UA Wildcats came out of the lockeroom at halftime with a 58-44 lead, and then proceeded to score 27 straight points before Kansas State got on the scoreboard. The 27-0 run was over the course of the first 7:13 of the second half and KSU finally got on the board with a free throw and its first field goal didn't happen until the 12:40 mark. Arizona was led by the 28-point performance of Michael Dickerson, who was 10-of-12 from the floor and grabbed seven rebounds. Mike Bibby chipped in with 19 points and 10 assists, while Miles Simon added 17 points and five assists. As a team, the Wildcats established their best field goal percentage in their past 64 games, shooting .612 from the floor (41-of-67) and from the 3PT line, the UA shot .563 (9-16)... All 12 Arizona players who saw time got on the scoreboard... The 125 points are the third-most in school history and at the time, established a McKale Center record, which was surpassed later that season when the UA scored 127 against Arizona State... The 69 points Arizona scored in the second half were two shy of the UA record for points in a half.
Coach O: Lute Olson (Augsburg '56) begins his 17th season as the head coach at Arizona and his 27th overall as a head coach... This season will see him reach of number of milestones in what has become a Hall of Fame type coaching career... He has a career record of 587-212 (.735), while his mark in Tucson stands at 395-120 (.767) and he has made Arizona one the dominant programs in the country... He needs just 13 more wins for career win No. 600, which would make him one of just 33 coaches in NCAA history to win 600 or more games... With five more wins, he will reach 400 for his Arizona career (these numbers may differ from what the NCAA coaching totals list, because as opposed to the Pac-10 Conference, the NCAA does not count forfeits as wins on head coaching records, as the case is with two UA losses to Cal in 1995 and 1996, which were later changed to wins... the same holds true with a game when Olson was at Iowa, when there was a forfeit by Wisconsin in 1983 that changed a loss into a win)... During his 16-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship (1997), gone to three Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997), won eight Pac-10 Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 15 years in a row, which is the second longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina, 25)... He has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88, 89, 93, 94, 98) and directed the program to the nation's best winning percentage over the past 12 years... His Pac-10 record stands at 223-65 (.774) and he is one of just six coaches in league history to win 200 or more conference games... He has the second-best conference winning percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only John Wooden (.810/304-74)... Prior to coming to Arizona, he was at Iowa for nine years where he owned a 168-90 mark and before that, he was at Long Beach State for one season (1973-74), where he went 24-2... In his collegiate career, he has produced 35 NBA Draft picks, including 20 at Arizona 15 alone on the 1990s... He has led Arizona to 12 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 21 overall in his career... Under Olson, the Cats have gone 243-25 during his career in McKale Center and have won 172 of their last 182 home games.
Kansas State Notes: This is the KSU's second appearance in the Preseason NIT... The first was at the start of the 1994-95 campaign when they traveled to Alabama to play the Crimson Tide... In what was Tom Asbury's first game as the KSU head coach, the Wildcats lost 79-48... Last season, KSU finished the season 20-13 and played in the post season NIT for the second straight year, where it lost its first round game at home to TCU... It finished 7-9 in the Big 12 and tied for seventh... Three starters and six letterwinners return from that squad... The team dropped both of its exhibition games this season, losing to the California East All Stars (79-78) and the NBC Thunder (75-59)... After those defeated, KSU has now lost seven straight exhibition games... Senior guard Cortez Groves is the team's top returning scorer after averaging 9.9 ppg last year... He was a member of the Big 12's All Newcomer Team... The Wildcats led the nation in FG% defense last year, holding the opposition to a field goal percentage of 37.1% from the floor... Kansas State is coached by Tom Asbury (Wyoming, 68), who is in his sixth season with the Wildcats... He has a record of 76-69 with KSU... Heading into his 13th year as a head coach, he has a career mark of 201-128... Prior to coaching at Kansas State, he was the head coach at Pepperdine for six seasons... Sophomore guard Josh Kimm and Arizona forward Justin Wessel were prep teammates at Prairie High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Against the Big 12: Arizona has an all-time record of 53-62 against teams from the Big 12 Conference... Last season, the Wildcats went 2-1 against schools from the league, beating Texas and Iowa State, while losing to Oklahoma in the NCAA Tournament... Since the Big 12 was formed for the 1996-97 season, however, Arizona owns an 8-3 mark versus the league.
UA Injury Report: Rick Anderson did not play against the California All Stars due to a slight muscle pull in his back he suffered in practice on Friday... He missed a few practices earlier in the week with strep throat and lost around 10 pounds... He will be ready to go on Tuesday night... Lamont Frazier also did not play against the California All Stars... He has undergone more medical testing and as a result, did not practice with the team late last week... It is anticipated that this will be the last restriction that will be imposed on Frazier as a result of his present medical condition... He will be ready to go for Kansas State... Luke Recker, who is redshirting this season as a transfer, has been medically cleared to return to full basketball participation after having been involved in rehabilitation, conditioning and limited practice situations since the start of practice on Oct. 16, due to the broken wrist he sustained in a car wreck this summer... He was examined by team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jon Wang and all restrictions were removed on Nov. 9... He will continue his rehab, but not be restricted from participation in any basketball activities.
Pac-10 Prognostications: The Wildcats have been picked to win the 1999-2000 Pac-10 Conference title, according to a poll of media members who regularly cover the league... The poll showed Arizona getting 32 of the possible 36 first-place votes, edging No. 2 UCLA, who received three first place votes and No. 3 Stanford, which garnered one first place vote... Following the top-three were Oregon, Oregon State, California, USC, Arizona State, Washington and Washington State. This poll has correctly picked the Pac-10 Champion for five years in a row and Arizona has now been the preseason No. 1 pick six times since the poll was started back in 1989.
The UA's record of 320-74 over the course of the past 12 years gives it the nation's best winning percentage during that span (.812).
Douglas To Transfer: Wildcat sophomore guard Ruben Douglas was granted his request for a release from his scholarship at the University of Arizona by the UA coaching staff on Nov. 14. He will continue his course work at the UA for the rest of the fall semester with the intent to transfer after that period. Douglas, a 6-foot-4-inch guard from Altadena, Calif. (Bellarmine-Jefferson High School), was one of three returning starters for the Wildcats this season. Last year as a freshman, he started in 14 games at the off-guard position and averaged 8.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He was an honorable mention All-Pac-10 Freshman Team selection as well.
Captains Elected: Senior Josh Pastner and junior Loren Woods were selected captains for this year's team in voting that was done by their teammates last week.
Both Major Preseason Polls Released: The Associated Press (media) and USA Today/ESPN (coaches) released their preseason men's basketball Top-25 last week... Arizona is the No. 9 pick in both sets of rankings... It's the seventh time that the Wildcats have been among top-10 in the preseason polls... Arizona was the No. 1 pick in 1997-98, No. 3 in 1990-91, No. 5 in 1991-92, No. 5 in 1994-95, No. 6 in 1989-90 and No. 10 in 1992-93.
Counting Classes: The 1999-2000 Arizona basketball roster is relatively young... From top-to-bottom, it is comprised of just two seniors, of which only one will play, due to Eugene Edgerson's redshirt season (Josh Pastner, who has played just 77 minutes in his three year career is the lone "playing" senior)... After that, there are five juniors two of whom have never played in a game for the Cats (Wake Forest transfer Loren Woods & junior college transfer Lamont Frazier) and one who can't play this season because he is a transfer (Luke Recker)... Then there are three sophomores, one redshirt freshman and four true freshman.
Who's Back: Heading the group of two returning starters and seven letterwinners is last year's Freshman All-American and Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, Michael Wright. A 6-foot-7, 238-pound sophomore from Chicago, Ill. (Farragut Academy), he has received preseason acclaim as being one the top power forwards in the country for 1999-2000. He is the team's leading returning scorer (13.9 ppg) and rebounder (8.8 rpg) after posting the best rebounding average by a freshman in Pac-10 history last season. The other returning starter from last year is sophomore Richard Jefferson (F, 6-7, 222, Phoenix, Ariz.)... (Ruben Douglas was a third returning starter, but he was granted his request to be released from his scholarship at the UA on Nov. 14). Jefferson was an All-Pac-10 Freshman team performer last season after averaging 11.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 2.9 apg. Among the other returning letterwinners are Justin Wessel (F, 6-8 , 225, Jr., Cedar Rapids, Iowa), Rick Anderson (F, 6-8 , 221, So., Long Beach, Calif.), John Ash (G, 5-10, 177, Jr., Tucson, Ariz.) and probably the most valuable player in the country who has averaged 2.8 minutes per game during his three-year career, Josh Pastner (G, 5-11, 182, Kingwood, Texas).

He will redshirt this season so he can complete his degree requirement in his education major... In order to accomplish his goal of getting his degree and teaching certificate from the UA in four years, he will student teach during the 2000 spring semester, while fulfilling other requirements this fall... Depending on his teaching schedule, he will still practice with the team but will miss Wednesday practices during the fall semester.
The (Kind Of) New Faces: There are eight players on this season's roster who have never played in a game for the Wildcats before, although two of them were with the program last year and sat out either as a transfer or with a redshirt season. The transfer is junior center Loren Woods (7-1, 251, St. Louis, Mo.), who came to Arizona from Wake Forest. The former McDonald's All-American had to sit out last year, but is eligible to play in 1999-00 and will establish his presence right away. He did practice with the Cats in 1998-99, so he has a good knowledge of the system. The redshirt is Luke Walton (F, 6-8, 228, Fr., San Diego, Calif.). He missed last season with a medical redshirt after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot. He was healthy towards the end of last year and was able to practice with the team at the end of February and coaches were impressed with his progress.
The New Guys: The six fresh faces on the team are a talented group... There are two transfers and four true freshmen... Junior college guard Lamont Frazier (6-3, 182, Jr.) comes to Tucson from Lon Morris Junior College in Jacksonville, Texas and is originally from Los Angeles... His has missed some practices so far due to a recurrent medical condition, but returned to practice on Oct. 28 -- his first time on the floor with the team since Oct. 17... The second high-profile transfer in two years to come to Arizona is Indiana transfer Luke Recker (G/F, 6-6, 190, Jr., Auburn, Ind.)... Just as the case was with Loren Woods last season, he must sit out this season as a result of NCAA transfer rules, but will be allowed to practice with the team... As a result of the broken left wrist he suffered in a car wreck back in early July, he was held out of some drills in practice to avoid contact, but received full clearance to practice last week... The four true freshmen on the squad include McDonald's All-American Jason Gardner (G, 5-10, 178, Indianapolis, Ind.), Gilbert Arenas (G, 6-3, 191, North Hollywood, Calif.), Robertas Javtokas it's pronounced YAHV-toe-kus (C, 6-10, 229, Siauliai, Lithuania) and walk-on Michael Schwertley (F, 6-5, 214, Phoenix, Ariz.).
Pac-10 Team of the Decade???: Arizona has the most wins of any Pac-10 team in the 1990s (256) and was won five Pac-10 Conference crowns and tied for one other... UCLA is second with four conference titles this decade... Arizona's winning percentage of .793 in the 1990s is the third-best in the country, trailing only Kansas (.827) and Kentucky (.817)... For conference games only, Arizona record of 140-40 in the best in the league, with UCLA at No. 2 with a 134-47 mark... The Cats have been to the NCAA Tournament each year this decade and won it all in 1997... There have been 18 All-Pac-10 first team selections from Arizona and four Pac-10 Players of the Year... Arizona has not recorded a double-digit loss total since 1986-87... The Wildcats' seven All-Americans during the 1990s trails only Duke's 10... UA and North Carolina are tied for second-most All-Americans in the 1990s.
The Coach's Show: Once again this season, KNST will air the Lute Olson Coach's Show, hosted by Brian Jeffries... Due to Arizona travel conflicts during the non-conference season, the show will air just once prior to Pac-10 play... The first show is on Monday, Nov. 29, at 6 p.m. It is broadcast live from Bob's at 6350 East Tanque Verde Road... The show will then be aired for the television portion of the Lute Olson Show, showing on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 10:30 p.m. on UPN channel 18... The next Lute Olson Show after this will be on Tuesday, Jan. 4, at 6 p.m. and the TV show will be shown Wednesday, Jan. 5 at 10:30 p.m.
Where Are You From?: California is the state that can claim the most members of this year's Wildcats, as four players are from "The Golden State " (Rick Anderson, Gilbert Arenas, Lamont Frazier and Luke Walton)... There are three from Arizona (John Ash, Richard Jefferson & Michael Schwertley) and two from Indiana (Jason Gardner, Luke Recker)... The rest of the roster contains six players from different states and countries, as the case is with Robertas Javtokas, who is from Siauliai, Lithuania... His city is pronounced SHAW-lay.
The Golden Arches: This season's roster has four former McDonald's All-Americans Jason Gardner, Richard Jefferson, Luke Recker and Loren Woods.
2000 NCAA West Region First/Second Rounds in McKale Center: The University of Arizona will host the first and second rounds of the 2000 NCAA Tournament West Region this March 16 & 18 in McKale Center. Tickets are currently on sale for each of the three sessions and cost $90. Ticket orders can be made at the McKale Center ticket office or by calling 520-621-CATS (2287). Media credential applications will be ready in January. Contact media coordinator Tom Duddleston with any questions (520-621-4163).
Cat Scratches: Under Lute Olson, the Wildcats have gone 32-6 in the month of November... Arizona will take the nation's fourth-longest home winning streak into the season... The UA has won 32 consecutive home games, trailing only Murray State (42), Duke (35) and Utah (35)... The Cats have won 172 of their past 182 home games... This will be the 12th season Arizona basketball has been sold out in McKale Center on a season-ticket basis... Only 10 pairs of mid-level tickets and 20 pairs of upper level tickets were not renewed for this year... Check out The Sporting News this week for a cover photo of Loren Woods and Lute Olson... It pertains to a story that deals with the influx of transfers in college basketball... Michael Wright's jersey will appear in ESPN Magazine's college basketball preview, along with other jerseys of the top players in the country... The design will be a take-off of the Blair Witch Project movie, which portrays the nation's "scariest players"... Please note that Jason Gardner's birthdate is Nov. 14, not Nov. 4, as the personal section in his bio states... Dating back to the start of the 1997-98 season, Arizona has been ranked in the top-10 in 31 of 37 polling periods... Since the start of the 1997 NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats own a record of 58-12... Overall, Arizona has been ranked in the regular season Top-25 rankings for 199 straight weeks... Dating back to the start of the 1997 NCAA Tournament, Arizona owns a record of 58-12.
Then There Were Four: Just four players on this year's roster remain from Arizona's 1997 NCAA Championship team Eugene Edgerson, Justin Wessel, John Ash and Josh Pastner.
Who's Gone From 1998-99: Leading the losses from last season are 1998-99 seniors Jason Terry and A.J. Bramlett... Terry was named the National Player of the Year in three circles last season and was the Pac-10 Player of the Year after becoming the first player to lead the league in scoring (21.9 ppg), assists (5.5) and steals (2.8) in the same season since Gary Payton of Oregon State did it in 1989-90... He was No. 10 in the NBA Draft and went to the Atlanta Hawks... Bramlett was an All-Pac-10 selection last season after averaging 14.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg... He was drafted in the second round of the NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers... Both Terry and Bramlett were members of four Arizona teams that went 103-28 (55-4 at home), winning a national title, a Pac-10 crown and they went 11-3 in the NCAA Tournament... Jason Stewart was the third senior last year, while freshman guard Traves Wilson transferred in the off-season, and so did Ruben Douglas, who made his decision to do so last Sunday. Arizona's NCAA History: Last year marked the 18th time Arizona has made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament and it was the 15th invite under head coach Lute Olson... UA's current string of 15 consecutive appearances in the NCAAs is the second longest streak in NCAA history, trailing only North Carolina's 25 straight invites (UNC's is a current streak as well)... Last season was the 20th time in the last 21 years that Olson has taken a team to the NCAAs... He has directed Arizona to 15 tourneys and a 24-14 record -- and when he was the coach at Iowa, he coached five Hawkeye squads to the NCAAs... With 20 career appearances in the NCAA Tournament, he is tied for fourth on the NCAA's all-time tournament appearance list for head coaches with Adolph Rupp and John Thompson... Over the course of their last 20 NCAA games, the Wildcats own a record of 15-5... In the last five years, Arizona has played in 21 tournament games... Arizona's all-time record in the NCAA Tournament is now 26-17... The Wildcats have been to three Final Fours -- 1988, 1994 & 1997... Arizona has advanced to the Sweet 16 seven times in the last 12 years.
Arizona Basketball On TV This Year: Each of Arizona's 29 regular season games will be televised on either Fox Sports Net, ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS or KWBA. The Wildcats appear on Fox Sports Net 20 times, ESPN twice, ESPN2 twice, CBS once, ABC once and on Tucson's KWBA five times. Should Arizona advance to the Preseason NIT's second round, semi-finals and final, it would make one more showing on ESPN2 and have two more ESPN games.
20-Win Campaigns: With its record of 22-7 last season, it marked the 12th consecutive season that Arizona won 20 or games... Further, it was the 14th time in Lute Olson's 16 years as UA head coach that the Cats have reached the 20-win plateau... It marked the 21st time in Olson's career that he has directed a team to 20 or more victories, making him just the eighth head coach in NCAA history to reach 20 wins in 21 or more seasons (Dean Smith-30; Jerry Tarkanian-26; Adolph Rupp-23; Bobby Knight-22; Denny Crum-21; Jim Boeheim-21; John Chaney-21).
Home Sweet Home: As previously mentioned, Arizona closed the year with a 32-game home winning streak in tact... The streak includes all 14 home games last season, all 15 in 1997-98 and the final three of the 1996-97 campaign... The last loss was a 66-64 defeat to UCLA on Feb. 13, 1997... Further, Arizona has won 43 of its last 44 home

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Oroweat
I am a bread person. (Yes, you anti-carbs people better duck.) I can go days where I just eat sandwiches. I eat grilled cheese sandwiches or toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, slices of bread with peanut butter or cheese for a snack, and gobble up plenty of bread with my dinner (or hey, I'll just have a sandwich for dinner!) My family is pretty much the same. My husband makes cinnamon-sugar toast as a snack (which my kids will then steal) or will fold a slice of bread over a chunk of chicken. Believe it or not, we sometimes slather bread with chocolate frosting for dessert. It was therefore an easy choice to agree to review Oroweat Dutch Country bread.
Much to my surprise, Oroweat sent not one loaf, but eight to my house. Although I was a bit concerned about how a family of four might get through eight loaves of bread without them getting stale, I need not have been concerned. First off, we have used quite a lot of the bread already - from tasty French toast to a great hamburger-bun alternative. Secondly, the bread has remained fresh and soft since when it arrived. (And no, it doesn't have BHA, BHT, or TBHQ as preservatives; however, it does have other preservatives.)
Oroweat sent their Premium Potato, Extra Fiber, and 100% Whole Wheat breads. All three varieties tout their "smooth texture" which I indeed noticed. These varieties didn't have that heavy, dry feel that some healthful whole-wheat or fiber-added bread has. All three also advertise that they are a good source of calcium, plus vitamins A, D, & E. The Premium Potato and 100% Whole Wheat breads have 15% recommended daily allowance of A, D, and E; the Extra Fiber has 10% RDA of each. All three varieties have 10% RDA of calcium per slice. So that means I just need five sandwiches to get all my calcium for the day - hooray!
I was particularly interested in the "Extra Fiber" bread because I watch what I eat and know that fiber can be filling and slows digestion. Surprisingly, this bead has the lowest calorie count of the three varieties at 90 calories per slice. The other two varieties have 100 calories per slice, which is lower than many of the breads out there, particularly those that are high in fiber or are whole-wheat. I've enjoyed making sandwiches out of both the Extra Fiber and 100% Whole Wheat. The end-result has tasted great and is also healthful.
My family was particularly interested in the Premium Potato. The night we received the bread, my husband made burgers and served them on the potato bread. They made excellent "buns" - delicious, and since the bread slices weren't bulky, it allowed us to taste the burger and our favorite toppings. We repeated the potato-bread-as-bun last night as well. My kids have enjoyed plenty of "heart sandwiches" and peanut butter toast with the potato bread.
The one drawback of the "Premium Potato" is that it contains artificial flavor in addition to the natural flavors. We try to avoid artificial flavor because of my son's dietary sensitivities. The 100% Whole Wheat and Extra Fiber varieties do not list "artificial flavors" on their package ingredient list.
I've frequently picked up the Oroweat "heart healthy" breads (of which the 100% Whole Wheat Dutch Country and Extra Fiber Dutch Country breads belong.) It therefore didn't take me much convincing to enjoy my bunch of bread free-for-review from Oroweat.

TasterLab - What's New
Author: Annalise • 2011-10-12 • 0 Comments
It's finally here! After months of work and an incredible amount of coffee and not-very-delicious office biscuits, the new site is finished. There's definitely a lot going on, so I've broken down all the best new features to help you discover what you love and try something new in London!
Search: As if TasterLab didn't already make it easy to discover what you love - things just got even easier. If you're feeling at all overwhelmed by how many things we have for you to taster, now it's incredibly simple for you to narrow down the options and choose something that really works for you. Having a particularly emotionally driven day? Try "I'm feeling…" and search by emotional keywords like "romantic" (Oo la la.) or "stressed" (all of our best tasters for punching things).
Sign in: One of the best parts of tastering and trying new things is having a lot of new experiences to share with friends and family. Everyone would rather hear about an amazing scuba diving course you took rather than that funny thing your dog did for the 10th time. (Guilty.) The new TasterLab lets you sign in with your Facebook making it really easy to find friends to taster something with you if you're nervous about going it alone or share reviews of something awesome (or not so awesome).
Rewards: The reward of learning a new skill or just trying new things in general is already pretty great. But now there are rewards on top of that reward. So essentially, we're giving you rewards for rewarding yourself with discovery. Rewards. Say it five more times. (#10) For all the actions you take on the site - creating your profile, making a Wishlist, inviting all your friends - we give you Taster Tokens you can use towards lots of tasters on the site.

I looked down at my right arm as blood oozed through my gray sweater. My arm was stinging and tears sprang to my eyes. This wasn't supposed to happen to me. Other people, I figured, would be the targets. Why me?
(Doesn't everybody think that, of course? Few think, "Why not me?")
The bullets, in this case, were just plastic pellets, but ouch!!
I was wearing a bright orange vest indicating that I was an observer, not a participant, but when the "gunman" burst into the darkened room it was difficult for him to see, so I was his first target. Of course, that makes sense; I was the one who poked my head up so I could see what was happening as I huddled in a corner with fellow participants. That's what you get for being a journalist.
A bit of explanation: In January my photographer and I visited the town of Likely (yes, it's Likely) to attend a training for a worst-case scenario of what to do if a shooter is on campus. School employees, administrators and law enforcement agents from rural Modoc County gathered in an empty school building for the second day of a two-day workshop by the ALICE training organization, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. The armed intruder, in this case, was a retired cop who works for the organization.
The training reflects the new recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education for keeping students safe, known as "Run, Hide, Fight." The new guidelines ask educators to take a more assertive role in trying to survive the unlikely event of a campus shooter, such as throwing chairs and staplers at an intruder or turning a fire extinguisher on an attacker. Or instead of locking down an entire school, evacuating students from areas where the shooter is not present.
It's sad, but to me it makes perfect sense to offer this type of training in this day and age. Yes, the chances of an armed intruder on campus are not likely, but it's a crazy world. In Modoc, just a year ago, a student threatened to shoot up a classroom full of kids, and was arrested while holding a knife on his parents and loading a rifle.
I have to admit, it was creepy and pretty scary to be waiting in a classroom for an attack before the "scenarios" or drills. Even creepier: Everyone wore black protective masks during the simulated attacks.
"Hello, hello, I know you're in there," shouted the attacker in a taunting voice that seemed real enough to send chills down my spine, right before I was shot.
For this exercise, participants were told to huddle in a corner and wait to be rescued, which is standard protocol in many districts but in my view, often ineffective, based on what happened 15 years ago in Columbine High School or last year in Sandy Hook Elementary. When we huddled in a corner and the intruder burst in, there were numerous causalities besides me.
In the scenarios that followed, participants took action based on what they learned in the training. They built barricades from classroom furniture and anything they could find. They climbed out windows. And as a last resort when there were no other options, they stood on both sides of the door and rushed the intruder from the sides as he entered the classroom, actually knocking the gun from his hand. In these scenarios, very few participants were shot.
Would it work in real life?
Nobody knows. These tactics have never really been tested.
Most attending the workshop said they felt empowered in the moment, but had no idea whether it would really work – especially with 30 students in a classroom.
Which brings us to the next question: How brave are most people?
I like to think I'm someone who would pull a person from a burning car, jump in the ocean to save someone from an undertow or fight back against an attacker. However, like most people, I have never been put to the test. I have no idea what I'd do when put in a life or death situation. Some people operate on adrenalin and react quickly; others go into shock and freeze.
As the ALICE folks bandaged my wound, I decided it never hurts to be prepared for a worst-case scenario. Huddling in a corner waiting to be rescued doesn't work. And I have a tiny scar on my arm to prove it.
As we left and drove three hours back to the Redding Airport, the radio started playing Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. The hit song has a catchy beat and seems cute until you listen to the lyrics.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run faster than my bullet.
It was the perfect creepy ending to a creepy but interesting day.
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.
