Need Help and /or Advise
I have been taking thyroid meds for over 25 years...had some flucuations...when I would gain weight, I would need higher dose meds
when I lose weight, a lower dose...usually hair falls out..
This past december, I started getting a very red flushed face...only to find out that is a symptom of too much levoxyl...so we went from 150 mcg to 137....well not enough so went to another doctor (my regular - didn't do blood as I had just done it but she prescribed 125....That was still too high (after a few wks) so I tried 62...after couple of weeks she ran a blood test - came back high but she figured I was still leveling out so she prescribed 88mcg...Never took that as the 62 was starting to feel too high (hot flushed face coming back, nervous, higher blood pressure)...so I dropped the 88 to 44...and felt OK for at least 1 mo...and now I'm feeling like its too high again....
I just had a breast biopsy which was positive in same spot I had bc over 9years ago.
At this point, I'm more concerned about the thyroid then the BC....
I've talked to several docs about it...and no one seems concerned...
What is wrong? ....what is going on..
BTW this all seemed to start when I tried *****....didn't take it very long.

Living in new york city on a clerical temp's salary, Nancy Lawlor had her own Holly Golightly tradition. Instead of breakfast, though, it was lunchtime, and instead of Tiffany's, it was the Waldorf-Astoria hotel's ornate block-long lobby. And instead of diamonds, she'd go stare at the flowers—in particular the lilies, roses, and orchids in the hotel's enormous urns. I bet those get thrown out, she thought. Lawlor convinced a manager to turn over $2,000 worth of pink roses, which she arranged into 20 bouquets and delivered to nearby Lenox Hill Hospital. This small act of goodwill blossomed into the nonprofit FlowerPower. Since February 2003, 34-year-old Lawlor and hundreds of volunteers have delivered more than $1.2 million worth of flowers to patients in hospices, nursing homes, and hospitals in New York City and Los Angeles—all thanks to donations from upscale hotels, event planners, and celebrities (Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay gave her wedding arrangements). "This is something that could be nationwide—in every big city," says Lawlor, whose dream is to repurpose flowers from the Academy Awards and the next Inaugural Ball. "There are people who collect the food that would be thrown out," she says. "We're taking care of the spirit."

Sprinkles, the cupcake ATM, has made a big hit in other cities around the nation and is now open in NYC. Tuesday the hot pink cupcake ATM opened at 780 Lexington Ave, according to The New York Daily News on March 25.
The cupcake ATM dispenses freshly baked cupcakes 24-hours a day. The ATM is a hit in Beverly Hills, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta, so the Big Apple was next in line. The bakery that the machine is attached to is open 12-hours a day, but the bakers are there around the clock, so the machine will always be stocked with fresh baked cupcakes.
The cupcake ATM can dispense four cupcakes at once, with each costing $4.25. The machine also has cookies and doggie cupcakes. This is a great idea for getting a snack on the run. When folks talk of cupcakes these days, they are different than the ones you bake at home.
The cupcake has evolved into a bigger product and much pride is put into the cupcake making in NYC. The ATM is a bit different than the bank ATMs, as there is not a banker behind the machine counting out the money. At a cupcake ATM, there is a baker or two behind the machine baking the fresh cupcakes and you get to taste the fresh harvest!

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.53 lbs (0.24 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

I would honestly give this 0 stars if I could. I hate how misleading the advertising it but I guess it's my fault that I thought I was getting quality matcha for a fraction of the price I normally do. This is definatly not ceremonial grade matcha. It tastes horrible and disgusting, not to mention it is only 20% matcha. Don't waste your money.
Good quality matcha tea should be bright electric green in color and NOT other shades of green. The tub I received is a dull army green color with acidic aftertaste. Have written in, hope I get a refund for this.

This product is 80% rice flour. Great tea if you want to gain wait, terrible if you want to get the health benefits of Matcha green tea. The producers have been very sneaky about the description of the contents, using different weight measurements to conceal the real ingredients. Much better products out there if you want Matcha tea. I bought this and was very disappointed.
Posted by 5561234863228638336 on Dec 22, 2015
It's misleading to call this "ceremonial grade" green tea. The powder is light yellow green in color instead of bright green as it should be. I was surprised to read that in fact, in a 5 gram serving, there is only 1 gram of matcha - the rest is brown rice fillers! The manufacturer should be more upfront about what this powder is. I don't dislike drinking this, but it's definitely not ceremonial matcha. If that's what you're looking for, move on.
Nice flavour
Posted by 5696753077411371470 on Nov 26, 2015
Too bad most of it is fillers...
Put in my smoothies!
Posted by 5534303202323310979 on Nov 09, 2015
Great addition to my smoothies. 1 teaspoon and last sometime. I also occasionally have it as tea and you certainly feel more alive mentally. Colour nice and smells fresh.Thanks iHerb, wonderful service!
Product OK but totally misleading marketing & packaging

Buyer beware. I bought this on the advice of a colleague thinking I was buying high quality green tea. It's actually mostly brown rice, with 20% green tea. The deceptive labelling and marketing leads creates suspicion about the other claims made for the product. This product should be clearly labeled as a "Green Tea Drink" with something like "Contains 20% Green Tea" or "Contains 1gram of Green Tea in each serve" clearly visible. Shame, as if it was properly labeled I'd rate it more highly. It mixes and tastes OK - but can't be trusted because of the label.

Was Dooku Yoda's Apprentice?

*Clears throat*
Jedi Youngling
- This is the unofficial title given to the Jedi Initiates, young children taken into the Jedi fold and taught the fundamental basics of Jedi teachings. These clans are taught by different venerable Jedi Masters. Yoda had lead over the Bear Clan. They are not considered Padawans at this time.
Jedi Padawan
- A Jedi Padawan is a Youngling who has come of age, or shown exceptional knowledge and skill , and is now paired with a Knight or Master to complete their training one-on-one. A Master or Knight can have only one Padawan at a time. Anakin Skywalker is a rare example of one who never studied in a Clan.
Jedi Knight
- A Jedi Knight is a Padawan who has completed their one-on-one training with their mentor, and successfully passed their Jedi Trials. Upon passing their trials they are Knighted and may now take on their own Padawan for training, but this is
a requirement.
Jedi Master
- This title can be achieved in different ways. The most common manner inwhich a Knight may become a Master is to have successfully trained their first Padawan to Knighthood. Upon the Padawan becoming a Knight, the mentor is then dubbed a Jedi Master. Another method is to attain the title by honorary means. This means that a Knight who has not trained a Padawan may still show a deep knowledge and understanding of the Force, or do a great deed, to the extent that the Council may find them worthy of the title. Examples of this route include Masters Atris, Saesee Tiin, Fay, Stass Allie and Depa Billaba (no padawans are ever mentioned for the last two).
Jedi Council
- For the most part, it is from the pool of Jedi Masters that the Jedi Council members are chosen. The High Council is composed of 5 lifetime members, 4 long-term members, and 3 short-term members. It should be noted that to be a Master does not mean one is, or required to be, an Council member. Or vice versa. Though Masters are normally chosen to sit on this body, it is not uncommon for a Knight to have a place. Notable Knights to have had seats on the High Coucil are Ki-Adi-Mundi, Stass Allie, and Anakin Skywalker (the first two evetually attained the rank of master).
It is also of worthy note to comment that desperate times call for desperate measures. There are instances in the history of the Jedi Order where rules and regulations have been overlooked for many different circumstances. But these rare measures are not to be taken as the norm, as they are sometimes done without even the entire council's approval.
On topic now; yes, Dooku was Yoda's Padawan in the "one-on-one" sense. Just as Depa was Mace's Padawan, Qui-Gon was Dooku's and Anakin was Obi-Wan's.
But yes, it is possible that Dooku may have been in the Bear Clan and trained under Yoda in that sense as well.

I am creating an authoritative bind server. I have not worked on DNS in a while.
My reverse lookups are failing on the internet, but when I connect directly to the server on nslookup I am able to do a reverse lookup sucessfully.
Forward lookups work fine.
Any ideas on what this could be?

Watch our video "How to Listen"
"Hallelujah, I Love Her So," which reached # 5 on the R&B charts, was part of an long, successful run of singles that Ray Charles recorded for Atlantic Records between 1953-1963. Atlantic's founder Ahmet Ertegun described Charles's talents in the studio this way: "I realized by the third session that he was not only teaching me about music, but he was showing me how to make records…He is probably the greatest all-around singer-musician in America." Charles controlled the artistic decisions around his music, and "Hallelujah" exemplifies his abilities as a singer, songwriter, arranger, and pianist. He drew from pop, big band jazz and R&B to create an original style. By translating gospel songs to the secular R&B market, Charles set the stage for what became known as soul music in the early 1960s.
Quincy Jones inducts Ray Charles at the 1st Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in 1986.

The Republican Establishment, led by the Corrupt Consultant Class, lives in an alternate universe. They thought 2012 would be a cakewalk and dismissed polls that did not conform to their world view. Instead, thanks to OFA, Obama won against all historical trends. Instead of trying to match or surpass OFA the GOP Establishment seems to be uniting behind a familiar name; Bush.
I, for the life of me, will never understand the emotional attachment Republican voters have for the Bush family. Poppy Bush destroyed the Reagan coalition and lost the Northeast, Upper Midwest and California permanently for the Republican Party. Baby Bush destroyed the Republican party's credibility on national security, fiscal and economic issues. As a result for these two disastrous presidencies the Republican Party has become despised and, at best, a regional party that appeals to a shrinking pool of voters. Yet there is an chance that another Bush could win the GOP nod in 2016.
Jeb Bush is all but telegraphing that he is planning a Presidential run in 2016. He even delusionally thinks that the Bush name has no baggage.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Sunday said the Bush family name will not drag down his political ambitions as he left open the possibility of running for president in 2016.
When asked whether the legacy of his brother, former President George W. Bush, who has a higher unfavorable than favorable rating, would be a liability, Bush said no.
"I don't think there's any Bush baggage at all. I love my brother. I'm proud of his accomplishments. I love my dad. I'm proud to be a Bush and if I run for president it's not because of something in my DNA that compels me to do it," Bush said on "Fox News Sunday" after host Chris Wallace cited a poll showing the former president with a 49 percent unfavorable rating.

• The licence will be issued to you upon payment of the licence fee.
How much does this licence cost and how long is it valid?

It is advised that people wishing to use a pendulum for the first time, use the simple silver or silver plated droplet type, which can be hung from a chain or simply a string. Pendulums usually consist of metal or crystal. Some even represent religious figures or symbols. These types of pendulums might also have a small crystal, charm or bead on the chain that you can hold onto for easier use.
Few people are aware of the wide variety of pendulums that are now available. A chakra pendulum has seven stones or beads strung on it, within a small container or melded into the weight. The colors represent the charkas within the body. They are orange (lower abdomen and pancreatic gland denoting sexuality and emotions), red (base of the spine and gonad glands representing grounding and survival), green (the heart and thymus gland denoting a person's love and sense of responsibility), yellow (the solar plexus and adrenal gland denoting power and ego), indigo (pineal gland and middle forehead representing compassion and forgiveness), blue (the thyroid gland and throat denoting our spiritual and physical communication) and purple/violet (the pituitary gland and top of the head, representing universal energies).
A chaotic pendulum involves the use of two pendulums with one that is suspended from the other. Also called a double pendulum, creating larger motions cause it to become more chaotic and "less predictable according to My Physics Lab. www.myphysicslab.com The site notes that the first pendulum throws off the second one. The double pendulum is primarily used to formulate "mathematical simulations."
A hexagonal pendulum is much like the teardrop but has a hexagonal shape resembling a beehive. It is believed that this type of pendulum is especially helpful with healing everything from communication issues to personal relationships. It is believed this pendulum can also be used to find sensitive areas on the body that might be the source of illness. Hexagonal bronzite pendulums are often used for protection, as well as to clear the mind, which can aid in decision-making.
Clear quartz pendulums are not only beautiful but are believed to be quite powerful. This stone is said to aid in concentration and creativity, as well as bring inspiration. This pendulum, which also has stones or beads in the colors of the chakras, is generally used for chakra balancing, to provide protection and/or to purify a person's mental, spiritual and physical well-being.
Copper is known as an energy conductor, so it is no wonder that this type of pendulum is used in healing. It is considered helpful for those hoping to increase their mental alertness, to fight arthritis and to improve the immune system. The copper pendulum might also include the chakra stones/beads as it is also used to bring the charkas into proper balance. A similar copper pendulum has rings in the color of the charkas instead of stones or beads.
Moonstone is also believed to hold healing qualities. On a pendulum, this stone, along with the chakra stones, is used to bring harmony, increase awareness, lessen the ego, increase one's nurturing ability and help a person to better express his or her emotions.
There is also a Shiva Lingam stone that is believed to emit very strong vibrations – more so than any other. It is made of Crypto crystalline quartz and when used as a pendulum along with chakra beads, it is believed to help with physical and emotional problems. It is said that this pendulum can also be used to unblock energies within the body.
A green chakra pendulum made of aventurine, is believed to not only improve creativity but also increase feelings of courage and independence. Freeing oneself of fear can help in various areas of life from seeking new adventures to forging ahead with a new business. This pendulum, which also includes the colored stones/beads, is used for medical dowsing.
A pendulum droplet made of Malachite is believed to help rid oneself of negative thinking, reduce tension, improve concentration and bring greater balance to the chakras. Along with the seven chakra stones or beads, this pendulum is used to deal with a variety of physical and emotional problems.
For dowsing
There are pendulums that are especially good for dowsing, such as one made of diamond. Those who swear by them say they act in a similar manner as radar to pinpoint people, places or things. This type of pendulum is used to find everything from water to gold, missing persons and pets, underground pipes, lost objects and specific problems within the body.
Another dowsing tool is the Chambered pendulum, which is usually made of wood and includes a small chamber at the bottom of the weight that tiny things can be inserted into. As well, there are various Egyptian pendulums that come in various geometric shapes. These pendulums that include various gems, wood or porcelain, are based upon the body's natural radiation of energy to assist with healing or to find certain items.
Egyptian pendulums, some of which are named after various gods, come in many geometric shapes, each emitting its own energy. It is the shape combined with the quality of the material that makes these special. For instance, the Isis pendulum symbolizes the "Cross of Life," which is said to emit "white rays." It is comprised of "four plate-like discs called a 'battery,' and is made of brass or wood, which are believed to give it "high dowsing sensitivity.

UCLA and Notre Dame have met just three times on the baseball diamond with the Bruins winning two of those matchups. The two schools met at Jackie Robinson Stadium last season, where the Bruins defeated the Fighting Irish, 2-1, on a walk-off single by Eric Filia in the 10th inning. UCLA and North Carolina State also met last season, playing in the second game of the College World Series. The Bruins took down the Wolfpack, 2-1, behind seven strong innings from Nick Vander Tuig on the mound and two innings in relief from junior David Berg. Sophomore Christoph Bono made a huge catch in the eighth inning of that game to prevent NC State from scoring the tying runs. Overall, UCLA has an all-time record of 6-1 against the Wolfpack. Finally, UCLA and Michigan have only met twice with the Wolverines winning both of those matchups. The two schools last played each other at Jackie Robinson Stadium in 1999.
All three of UCLA's games In North Carolina this weekend will feature a live audio broadcast online, free of charge, at uclabruins.com. Tim Wilhelm will have the call live from the USA Baseball Complex in Cary. Fans can also follow all three games online through a live stats link, which provides pitch-by-pitch updates on uclabruins.com. Links can be found on the front page of uclabruins.com on the events calendar or on the 2014 UCLA Baseball schedule page.
Sophomore right-hander James Kaprielian will take the hill for the Bruins on Friday against Notre Dame. Kaprielian served as an integral part of UCLA's bullpen in 2013, making 34 relief appearances while posting a 1.55 ERA, two saves and 53 strikeouts in 40.2 innings pitched. For his efforts, he earned freshman All-America honors from Perfect Game USA and Collegiate Baseball. Through two starts this season, Kaprielian is 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA, leading the Bruins with 16 strikeouts, which is also good for third-most in the Pac-12 so far.
Junior left-hander Grant Watson is slated to start Saturday's contest for the Bruins against North Carolina State. As a sophomore in 2013, Watson went 9-3 with a 3.01 ERA, striking out 55 batters and walking just 16, the sixth-fewest in the Pac-12. He pitched particularly well in the postseason, winning both of his starts while not allowing a run in 13 combined innings. In addition, Watson was named to the 2013 NCAA Los Angeles Regional All-Tournament Team. Watson earned the win in UCLA's 12-1 victory over Portland in his first start of the season before taking the loss in UCLA's 8-0 defeat to Cal Poly. The Bakersfield, Calif. native has struck out 15 batters in 11 innings pitched thus far while surrendering four walks.
Sophomore right-hander Cody Poteet will start the series finale vs. Michigan for the Bruins on Sunday. Poteet served as UCLA's midweek starter in 2013, going 4-4 with a 4.69 ERA in 11 midweek starts while posting a 4-6 record overall with a 4.84 ERA. He struck out 56 batters in 2013 and this past summer, played with the Walla Walla Sweets of the West Coast League, being selected as one of the league's All-Stars. In his first start of the season against Portland on Feb. 16, Poteet allowed one run in 4.1 innings pitched, striking out three in a no-decision. Last weekend, Poteet took the loss for the Bruins in their 9-1 loss to Cal Poly.
Junior catcher Shane Zeile is off to a hot start at the plate through the first eight games, leading the Bruins with a .370 batting average and 10 hits while recording five RBI. Zeile has also logged a team-high three multi-hit games while recording a .444 slugging percentage and a .438 on-base percentage. Behind the plate, Zeile has handled a pitching staff that has allowed the lowest opposing batting average (.197) and the second-fewest hits (51) in the conference thus far. Last season, Zeile started 57 of the Bruins' 66 games, logging nine doubles and two home runs.
Zeile has not been the only Bruin who has gotten off to a good start offensively, as freshman Luke Persico has been on a tear through his first eight collegiate games. The Stevenson Ranch, Calif. native has batted at a .333 clip thus far, posting one double and three RBI. Persico also leads the Pac-12 with four triples on the season and has logged a staggering .667 slugging percentage. On Feb. 21 against Cal Poly, he recorded nine total bases by going 4-4 with two triples, a double and a single to lead the Bruins to a 5-2 win over the Mustangs. His nine total bases in that game are the most in a single game by any player in the Pac-12 this season. In high school, Persico earned three varsity letters at Hart High School before transferring to Great Oak High School during his senior year. Additionally, he was selected in the 37th round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies.
Since the start of 2010, UCLA has gone 79-34 in all road and neutral site contests. The Bruins have also gone 40-17 in Pac-12 road games since 2010. In the last two seasons, UCLA has gone 36-12 on the road and 7-2 in neutral site games. The Bruins have logged five Pac-12 road sweeps in the last three years (2010 at Washington, California; 2011 at Oregon; 2012 at Washington, Utah; 2013 at USC) and one non-conference road sweep (2012 at Georgia). The Bruins went 17-8 on the road in 2013, winning series at Baylor, Oregon, Washington State and USC and winning midweek games at UCSB, Long Beach State, Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine.
UCLA came in at No. 19 in this week's Baseball America top-25 poll, marking the 37th consecutive week that the Bruins have been ranked in the top 25. The Bruins last dropped out of the poll on May 22, 2011. UCLA finished the 2013 season ranked No. 1 in each of the nation's major polls. In the last four seasons, the Bruins have been ranked in the top 10 by Baseball America a total of 17 times. UCLA also concluded the 2013 campaign with an RPI of 9 and the No. 2 strength of schedule according to boydsworld.com.
UCLA has finished among the top three in the Pac-12 Conference each of the last eight seasons (2006-2013), the only Pac-12 team to have done so. Under John Savage, UCLA finished third from 2006 through 2009, before finishing second in 2010 and winning the confernece title in 2011 and 2012. Last season, UCLA finished third with a 21-9 Pac-12 record. Never before in school history has UCLA enjoyed an eight-year span with as many top finishes in the standings.
UCLA has had at least one batter get hit by a pitch in each of the first eight games, bringing the Bruins' season total to 14 batters hit by a pitch. Brian Carroll leads the Bruins with five hit by pitches while Ty Moore has been hit three times. Christoph Bono, Shane Zeile, Luke Persico, Chris Keck and Pat Gallagher have each been hit once. UCLA led the conference with 82 hit batters in 2013 and had a school record 104 batters hit by a pitch back in 2010.
In conference games since 2006, UCLA ranks second in wins (132) and win percentage (.623), trailing only Arizona State. The Bruins are third in total wins (313) and are fourth in overall win percentage (.626) among Pac-12 teams. UCLA and Arizona split the 2012 Pac-12 title, and UCLA won the 2011 Pac-10 championship in outright fashion for the first time since 1986. In 2013, UCLA won the first NCAA title in program history.
Returning to anchor the bullpen is All-American closer David Berg, who has enjoyed as fine a two-year career as any reliever in the history of college baseball. In three seasons, Berg has made 103 appearances, which is already good for third-most in school history, and has posted a 13-3 record with a 1.15 ERA. Berg also owns the NCAA single-season record for saves with 24 in 2013 and tied the NCAA record for most appearances in a season with 51 last year. Additionally, he became the first reliever in conference history to win Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year last season and was UCLA's first recipient of the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, given out to the nation's top relief pitcher. Berg was named to the All-Pac-12 Team for the second time in his career in 2013, making him just the 25th UCLA player all-time to receive all-conference acclaim at least twice. In addition, he finished second in the country in both WHIP (walks and hits allowed per innings pitched) with a mark of 0.85 and ERA last year. Finally, Berg is the only pitcher in UCLA history to lead the conference in ERA in back-to-back seasons and is UCLA's all-time record holder for most postseason appearances (17), postseason saves (6) and career saves (26). This season, Berg has thrown 10 innings in six appearances while logging one save and a 1.80 ERA.
Head coach John Savage was named the 2013 National Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America, the ABCA and Perfect Game USA. By guiding the Bruins to their second straight College World Series last year, Savage became one of just 10 coaches all-time from the Pac-12 to lead their teams to back-to-back College World Series appearances (Frank Sancet, Jerry Kindall - Arizona; Bobby Winkles, Jim Brock - Arizona State; Pat Casey - Oregon State; Mark Marquess - Stanford; Sam Barry, Rod Dedeaux, Mike Gillespie - USC). Savage served as the pitching coach at USC from 1997-2000, where he helped lead the Trojans to the 1998 national title and another apperance at the CWS in 2000. Additionally, Savage is one of just five coaches in college baseball history to have led his team to one CWS championship, produced a No. 1 MLB Draft pick and coached a Golden Spikes Award winner. Savage helped UCLA post an overall 49-17 record in 2013, marking the second-highest single-season win total in school history, and is UCLA's all-time winningest postseason manager with 32 postseason victories. UCLA also matched a school record with 21 conference victories in 2013. Finally, Savage has guided the Bruins to the postseason in seven of the last eight seasons and has a staggering winning percentage staggering .706 since 2010.

The Dassault Rafale (French pronunciation: [ʁafal], squall) is a French twin-engine delta-wing fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Dassault described the Rafale as being an omnirole fighter with semi-stealth capabilities. The Rafale is a multirole combat aircraft; capable of simultaneously undertaking air supremacy, interdiction, reconnaissance, and the airborne nuclear deterrent missions.
In the late 1970s, the French Air Force and Navy were seeking to replace and consolidate their current fleets of aircraft. In order to reduce development costs and boost prospective sales, France entered into an arrangement with four other European nations to produce an agile aerial fighter, but subsequent disagreements over workshare and differing requirements led to France pursuing their own development program. Dassault built a technology demonstrator which first flew in July 1986, however post-Cold War budget cuts and changes in priorities contributed to significant delays.
Introduced in 2000, the Rafale is being produced for both the French Air Force and for carrier-based operations in the French Navy. It has also been marketed for export to several countries, including selection by the Indian Air Force. The Rafale has been used in combat over Afghanistan and Libya; features such as the SPECTRA integrated defensive aids system have been crucial advantages in these theatres. Several upgrades to the radar, engines, and avionics of the Rafale are planned to be introduced in the near-future.
Brazil i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)), is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population with over 192 million people. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

Stop and think about the staging area and the logistics of the finishline for just two seconds.
Once you pass the amphitheatre, there's basically nothing but private property on both sides of Flag until you get to Walker. So not only would they not have any staging area up at the crest they'd also be seriously inconveniencing many more residents (even more so than they are now) by shutting off their access. Right now as the stage is marked, those folks at least have the option to exit via Gross Dam whenever they want during raceday. Out of the way, yes, but it beats being stuck in your house for several hours waiting for the traffic jam to clear.
USA Pro maybe a lot of things but one thing they don't do is ghetto. Putting the finish at the mailboxes is probably fine for a backyard E-class hillclimb event, but for a big UCI level event it gives you zero options for scaffolding, stands, tents, photographers, news crews, drug controls, motos, team busses, caravan, etcetera. Once you hit the crest, the only option for staging with the amount of space they'll need would be to put the finishline way down at Walker, which might even negate a mountaintop finish (in addition to the residents issues).
Keep in mind those riders aren't going to be simply parking their cars at Chautaqua and riding from the stone bridge to the amphitheatre, or noodling up Baseline then hitting the gas at the bridge like the freds and weekend warriors around here. They're going to be putting some serious hard hilly miles on their legs up to that point, and it's going to be game on from before they even hit town. Not to mention the official start of the climb will likely be placed at the Boulder Creek bridge, so they have to charge up all of Uni Hill, then Baseline before they even get on Flag. If you've ever done that entire route at full gas after a hard ride, then it considerably changes its personality. Some of the more challenging bits are before you even get on Flagstaff proper.
Any climb can be made tough by the pace and the calibre of the guys climbing it. I give you the field-shattering that was done on Gothic Rd. and/or Swan Mountain as an example. Those are 2 climbs I've done many times and don't consider them "that hard", but when they're late in a 100-mile day and you're getting dragged along by the best pros in the world? yea, no, I think "just" going to the amphitheatre is good enough.

Another consideration for the finish is the race caravan. Last year in Steamboat we needed 300 Prking spots next to the finish for the media, VIPs,teams, officials,ect. The flag finish will be awesome, no matter if they summit or not. Supporting what they can do this year helps open doors to more aggro courses in future years.

You make a lot of really good points.
I'm just passionate about cycling and the climb up Flagstaff for personal reasons . And would love to see them race all the way up.
Seems to me, either way the residents will be "stuck" won't they? It's history in the making... they should race the whole mountain. I'm just sayin.
