ATHLETE'S FOOD™ contains complete spectrum whey protein hydrolysate, cross-flow micro-filtered whey protein isolate, and partially filtered whey protein concentrate. These elite protein sources supply the single highest concentration of di-, tri-, and oligo-whey peptides and other whey fractions with unique anabolic properties. Whey also happens to be the most Biologically Valuable (BV) protein source available and contains the most complete amino acid profile, so you can optimize your muscle growth. This supercharged matrix is also loaded with sustained-release waxy maize super- carbs for extended muscular endurance and glycogen support.
ATHLETE'S FOOD™ contains a myriad of land and sea greens, exotic fruits and berries, herbal extracts, and other botanicals that have been freeze-dried to remove excess water, while preserving 100% of their biologically active anti-oxidants and phytonutrients.* These nutrients enhance various muscle building, fat burning, and cellular processes in your body, and can also help to maintain a healthy pH balance.* ATHLETE'S FOOD™ is more nutrient dense than virtually any single supplement on the planet!
Traveling around with cooked meat, vegetables, fruits, essential oils, greens, herbal supplements, vitamins, and minerals can be very inconvenient. Add to this the annoying smelly plastic dishes and you have yet another obstacle holding you back from maintaining an effective training diet. With ATHLETE'S FOOD,™ all you need is a shaker cup and water to enjoy a super-healthy supplement anytime, anywhere.* Our superior formula is fast-dissolving and mixes smooth.
Without the critical micronutrients found in various greens, your progress will suffer. While greens supplements are a convenient source for these vitamins and minerals, many low-quality greens powders taste like grass from your lawn! Unlike these products, ATHLETE'S FOOD,™ is engineered using high-tech freeze-drying methods, which locks in the nutrition of the myriad of land and sea vegetables, berries, and functional herbals, while maintaining a neutral flavor.
As a dietary supplement, mix 2 scoops of ATHLETE'S FOOD™ with 10-14 ounces of cold water. Consume 1 to 4 servings daily. For best results drink 1 serving in the morning immediately upon wakening to restore a healthy pH balance and 1-3 servings any other time of the day. On training days, take one of your daily servings immediately after exercise. For best results use Athlete's Food™ every day for 12 weeks and combine with resistance traning.
Warning: Before consuming ATHLETE'S FOOD™ consult with a health care practitioner if you are unaware of your current health condition or if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.

These key elements provide critical phytonutrients, anti-oxidants, and vitamins to optimize your training.
After one look at the nutritional information for this elite supplement it becomes obvious that it isn't your typical proteins shake or greens formula. ATHLETE'S FOOD™ is loaded with a myriad of natural land and sea greens, fruits, herbals, essential fats, and digestive enzymes, making it one of the most bio-diverse supplements on the market. On top of this, ATHLETE'S FOOD™ contains the most premium carb and protein sources available, including Whey Hydrolysate and Microfiltered Whey Isolate. Unlike other greens supplements that use incomplete vegetable proteins, these ultra-pure whey sources have complete amino acid profiles for efficient muscle-building. These macronutrients are perfectly formulated to optimize your body's biological machinery. ATHLETE'S FOOD™ provides you with a comprehensive and effectively delivered supply of nutrients and nourishment so you can focus on what matters most - your training.
This formula was designed with fundamental athletic performance in mind as a full-spectrum nutritional superfood. Because its ingredients are all of the highest quality and proportioned in such an optimal way, they can benefit anyone who engages in sports or physical activity. For example, bodybuilders can get the benefits of micro-nutrients often gained from dozens of supplements or raw sources combined, and speed athletes can gain the advantages of premium muscle-building protein without the fatty fillers often found in meal replacement formulas and gainers. No matter what sport drives you, ATHLETE'S FOOD™ is designed to help you take your performance to the next level.
Achieving great fitness results is generally known to be approximately 20% dependent on training and 80% dependent on diet. Eating often (i.e. every two to three hours) is critical for supporting nutrient absorption, maintaining metabolism, stabilizing insulin, and providing your body with adequate muscle-building precursors.* While maintaining consistency and frequency in your diet is important, what you eat is even more critical. To build muscle and maintain efficient stamina, you need a variety of high-quality protein, carbs, EFAs, greens, and other botanicals to support the supply of energy and nutrients to your muscles during training. Finding ways to consume such a diverse range of macro and micro nutritionals can be time-consuming, inconvenient, and even inhibiting to your exercise regimens if you are weighing yourself down with heavy meals. ATHLETE'S FOOD™ can provide this diversity and frequency needed in an optimal training diet without slowing you down.
For best results it is recommended that athletes drink 1 serving of ATHLETE'S FOOD™ in the morning immediately upon wakening to restore a healthy pH balance. Consume 1-3 additional servings daily as needed to satisfy your personal meal requirements. On training days, take 1 serving of ATHLETE'S FOOD™ post-workout immediately following your training session.
Overall, a decent protein. I bought it when it was on sale and wanted to give it a try. Cookies and Cream flavor isn't that tasty, but still an effective product.
I have never had a protein shake or ANY TYPE OF SHAKE out there that is as good tasting as Athlete's Food Chocolate Flavor. The ingredient profile is the best, and shockingly healthy. But very expensive. 15 servings for $44 (almost $3/serving) I wanted to give it a 9 out of 10 only because of its high price but I am still giving it 10 since Quality Comes With A Price. My first jar lasted me only 1 week. I've ordered 4 more and getting 2 free. I think i'll be using this product long term.
Unlike other protein products that hurt my stomach and tasted awful, this product tastes like a chocolate milkshake to me. I tried mixing it with water....it was tolerable. BUT, mixing it with organic fat free skim milk, is DELICIOUS!
it has everything you need, you can use it to replace a meal and feel full after drinking it. Also just feels great as you drink it i feel the nutrients. If you are serious about bodybuilding and want a super food like this one give it a try. Only problem is needs to have bigger sizes.
I have been using Athlete's Food almost since it has come out, and I can't say any other meal replacement is as good as the nutritional value as Athlete's Food. The taste is also good especially mixed with extra dry oats. However, when mixed with ice cold water the white "Vanilla" powder turns a grayish, blueish color for reasons unknown. I also experience difficulty scooping it because it's almost like the powder flies straight into the air (as if it is literally alive and jumping off the scooper if this makes sense). The powder itself is very unique, and weird with its color changing and difficulty scooping, but it's still one of the best MRPs market besides Macrobolic MRP (Vanilla).
I really like this product. I try to get in 6-7 small meals a day and this usually makes up at least two of those meals. Everyday I drink it first thing in the morning and it holds me off for a couple hours until after I finish my workout. Tastes amazing, blends well, and digests easily. The chocolate blends a little better and tastes a little better than the vanilla, but the vanilla isn't bad either. It doesn't contain an excessive amount of protein which I like. I only wish that more came in the container because I've already gone through three. It's pretty pricey, but I think it's worth it.
I absolutely love this product and I only wish it was slightly cheaper. I first learnt about 'green powder' through GSP so though I would give it a try and I've bought it ever since. With a busy life style, 60 hour working weeks, I really needed something to help with my health and this stuff was and is perfect!

Firstly let me start off with I installed V1.00 of the PS3 Media server last night, and thought WOW, for such a simple program its much better than some of the others I have used!...then I cranked it to the latest version...Even better still!!!
But, I know this is probably only me being picky, but an Option to change the name of how it appears on the PS3 would be much appreciated.
Instead of PS3 Media Server [PC Name}, can we not have a User Changeable Field.... It know its a bit Anal, but personally I'd just like the Name of my PC to appear in the Media List?
But Great work guys!

Cost Gap for Western Renewables Could Narrow by 2025: NREL
September 4, 2013
A new Energy Department study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) indicates that by 2025, wind and solar power electricity generation could become cost-competitive without federal subsidies, if new renewable energy development occurs in the most productive locations. The report, Beyond Renewable Portfolio Standards: An Assessment of Regional Supply and Demand Conditions Affecting the Future of Renewable Energy in the West, compares the cost of renewable electricity generation (without federal subsidy) from the West's most productive renewable energy resource areas with the cost of energy from a new natural gas-fired generator built near the customers it serves. The study includes any needed transmission and integration costs.
The study draws on an earlier analysis the lab conducted for the Western Governors' Association to identify areas where renewable resources are the strongest, most consistent, and most concentrated, and where development would avoid protected areas and minimize the overall impact on wildlife habitat.
Among the study's findings: Wyoming and New Mexico could be areas of robust competition among wind projects aiming to serve California and the Southwest. Both states are likely to have large amounts of untapped wind potential after 2025. Wyoming, along with Montana, could also emerge as an attractive area for wind developers competing to meet demand in the Pacific Northwest. Wyoming wind power could also be a low-cost option for customers in Utah.
Arizona, California, and Nevada are likely to have surpluses of prime-quality solar resources, which also has its own diverse portfolio of in-state resources. And new geothermal development could trend toward Idaho by 2025 because much of Nevada's resources have already been developed. See the NREL press release and the full report .

Running PMS v 1.4 under OS X Snow Leopard on two separate machines (non-concurrently).
At this time, one of the systems has an iTunes Library with about 75GB of music files. This library, as well as other shared folders, shows up on the PS3 very quickly upon connection, is fast to browse, and so far entirely error-free.
The other system is set to access a huge iTunes library, the result of merging several different ones I had created. SIze of this library is almost 620GB. On this system, with "Show iTunes Library" enabled in PMS, I cannot access any files from the PS3, instead receiving constant DLNA errors (2006 and 2114).
Now, since I'm really not expecting PMS to readily handle such a ridiculous amount of data from iTunes, this is no big surprise, and is not critical by any means, but it does raise the following questions:
1. What's the largest iTunes library that has been successfully run via PMS/PS3 by someone on this forum?
2. I did increase the Java heap size as defined in info.plist from 768 to 1500. Any other Java or OS tweaks that might help out with performance?
3. PS3 is connected to the network by wireless, and this has been working fine for streaming videos, pictures and music. Would establishing an ethernet connection have a significant impact on the amount of iTunes data the PMS/PS3 can handle? (This would be somewhat involved at my location, so I'd rather ask first )
Thanks for any ideas! -o

What Tuesday's Election Means for CIOs
IT strategies of CIOs are largely unaffected by Tuesday's election results, but the end of the election cycle gives CIOs of some companies a better sense of what's in store for their industries. That doesn't have a direct bearing on their current budgets, but could impact future needs.
For instance, President Barack Obama's reelection means the principal elements of his signature health-care reform will remain intact, and that has a direct impact on health-care providers like the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Dan Drawbaugh, CIO of UPMC, says the certainty of the ongoing Obamacare overhaul means there will be pressure on providers to reduce health costs by adopting outcome-based medical care — as opposed to a system that rewards providers for each procedure done on a patient. Drawbaugh predicts this will mean more out-patient care supported by new mobile and gaming technologies developed by providers in tandem with technology vendors. Drawbaugh envisions health-care providers using mobile video technology such as Apple's Facetime to facilitate remote medical consultations, and the use of avatars to represent patients in virtual examination rooms supplemented with remote sensing technology. "It's a different way of thinking about health care, as opposed to episodic treatments," he said.
Angela Yochem, CTO of Astra-Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, says the technology strategy adopted by her company this year has been "optimized for flexibility, since we need to be able to adjust to rapidly changing market demands and emerging regulatory considerations. The nature of our business demands it." The outcome of the election has no bearing on that strategy.
Some CIOs reflected on what they see as hostility by the Obama Administration to their respective industries. Mark Shaver, CIO of excavation equipment maker Joy Global, says the company hopes the Administration will change its "historic view towards mining" and accepts that "coal has a place in solving our energy independence." But these issues don't directly affect the company's IT strategy.
Likewise, Dril-Quip CIO Brad Feazell said that while "most folks in this [exploration] industry would probably feel better about spending in general had Romney won," he doesn't expect the election outcome to impact his operations.
Steve Horan, CIO of voice technology vendor Nuance Communications, said the election will have no direct impact on the company's IT planning, but that the impact "will be based on how the overall economy fairs and how well Nuance performs in that economic state."

Just in! Unique Ace Mousepad
We've been getting a lot of amazing, fun, cool and unique items over at our cute office supply store. It's the favorite part of our jobs, testing out and falling in love with fun + cool office supplies. With that being said, we'd like to show you what we just got in this morning, our super unique mousepad:
Oh and it's only $10. So worth adding a punch of something cool into your otherwise boring desk area.
Inspirational Graphic Wall Art
We came across these awesome prints and had to share. You know how we feel about typical corporate art so here's an alternative:
Beyond world records and athletic prowess, the Olympic Games have long been known for the massive urban overhaul and construction projects that host cities undertake to prepare for the onslaught of visitors. With instant architectural icons such as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing are a hard act to follow. When the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected London to host the 2012 Games, many wondered how the city could top the design and engineering feats of its predecessor.
Fun and Functional Lighting-Coil Lamp DIY Kit
When I style a space I like to include conversation pieces and unexpected items into/around the workspace. I was thrilled when I came across this lamp and just had to share!
It's a DIY kit for a minimalist lamp where you turn a frame, cord and bulb adapter–into "industrial art". You have to get your own extension cord, which some may not like but I think it's great because you can choose your own colors that way. It's a fun way to add more lighting into your workspace, lighting you don't normally see. After doing a quick search on 100 ft extension cords I found the following colors/options for this lamp:

Post subject: Been putting it off...
So I had Emily 6 weeks ago and my family still haven't met her, not because they live too far away or anything like that but I have simply been putting it off so I don't have to have her passed around like a doll. I hate it when others hold her, I get so stressed out. I don't feel I have to change that but how do I say no without offending people? My grandad called me last night to invite us to a family meal as they all want to see baby as they haven't yet as I said no visitors and have kept putting it off with "I'm busy.."
I am worrying so much about Sunday (That's when we're going)
I have been so much more protective over Emily than I was with Ava. With Ava I had gone out clubbing for a night when she was 6 weeks old, I cant bare the thought of even leaving Emily just to go to the shops yet.. not sure if my behaviour last time was abnormal or if this time it is.. either way I don't mind being so attached to Emily as she seems a happier baby because of it but how on earth can you say no to family if they want to cuddle her???
So stressed about it all xx

Hmmm I have personally never had this problem so I don't have any experience with it, but if I were you, I would just let them know how you feel. I think that a lot of problems could be solved if you just tell them, "I don't feel very comfortable with you guys holiding my baby and this is why..." and then maybe resolve it and make a compromise.

I would say that neither is typical behaviour if I'm honest. Why don't you feel comfortable with them holding her? That's what you need to ask yourself.
Do you think he will be harmed or upset in some way?

I don't know what typical behaviour is but we had family round the day she was born and my best friend the day after. Is it that you don't want to let go of her or you don't want other people to hold her? Definitely explain to people - better to be upfront. I'm sure they are just excited to meet your gorgeous girl! Xx

Yeh see I would say its more a case of I don't want to let go of her. She is always with me in the sling and I feel lost if shes not there. I don't really know why I don't loke others holding her.. I got so upset when my ohs family came round, took her off me and passed her round like a doll. His aunt was holdimg her for example and said to her dad "do you want to hold her" as if emily was her baby or something!
I think my main worry is my aunt and her kids (aged 6 and will be there and im worried if my aunt holds her her kids will want to hold her and im am definitely not comfortable with a child holding my baby, I domt really like ava holding her but its important they bond as sisters. I just have this horrible feeling my aunt will just let her children hold emily without even asking me.
Another reason I domt like people holding her is because people feel the need to touch a babys face when god kmows where their hands have been! Just really annoys me that people do that. I would never hold a baby without washing my hands first and even then I wouldn't touch someones babys face.. ugggh I dont know why im so stressed. I might just call im sick lol save me the bother as im just not ready yet.. I dont want them to realise im putting it off though as I dont want them thinking theres something wrong with me when theres not

I think the longer the put it off the worse you will be about it. You can simply tell your aunt you don't the kids holding her, I don't see that as unreasonable at all.
I too think my family would be feeling quite upset if they had to wait 6 weeks or more to meet any of our children.
No body wants you to feel bad about it but I think possibly this is slightly irrational and your worries are being exaggerated by your imagination?
I don't want that to sound horrible, but in a lot of things in life the thought is often worse than reality.

I woukd say the main reason is because the same aunt when she came to see ava, held ava and when I asked for her bavk she said no.. she didn't say no horribly but she just wouldnt give her back when I asked. To be honest I dont feel bad that they havent seen her as they have asked me to come to theirs and not offered to come here and I dont see it as my job to take emily there they should come here I would of though??
What I might do is keep her witj me and say theu can look at her but not make a fuss as to not make ava jealous which tbf I dont want ava feeling left out and disliking Emily because of it.
I guess im just being selfish and hogging my baby because I know shes going to grow up too fast as it is and I dont want to be apart form her for even a second. I dont think ill have anymore so makimg the most of her xx

Would it really be that bad to let her be held? Surely you could let her be held just for this occasion, after all she's all yours again after. It just doesnt seem very nice that its basically a 'you can look but not touch' rule, its a bit odd and still hurtful in my opinion. Id be pretty gutted if on the 1 occasion I finally get to meet the new baby in the family Im told I cant hold her/ fuss her or anything.
Ttc since December 2007!

I think if they were to give her back when I ask or if she started crying it wouldn't be so bad but I just know theu womt give her back as they didnt when ava was a baby. And I know emily will cry as she cries when my oh holds her.. I get tearful myself when she cries, I hate it, that's why I bought the sling so shes with me constantly even when I do the housework
I really cant put my finger on why I feel this way 100% I understand I probably sound mean but its not intentional im jusy extremely over protevtive of her.. I think as long as they wash their hands before holding her, dont kiss her, give her back if she cries and dont pass her round like a doll (ie not over stimulating her and giving her a break between cuddles) then I would be ok with it. But in all honesty its easier to say no than "here are the rules to holding my baby" I dont want them to think im weird for being protective.
I dont understand though as I personally never ask to hold other peoples babies.. I dont know why someone would want to cuddle a baby that wasnt theirs but each to their own I guess xx

To be honest I know how you feel my son is 5 now and when he was born my partners family were holding him kissing him and to be honest doing what I describe as "snatching him off off me". I felt reallystressed, when he was bout 20 minutes old they barged into the birthing suite and put a dirty 50pence in his hand for luck. I'm pregnant now and I think I ill be even more stressed this time round I'm even going to try and breast feed this time round because they were always taking him off me to feed him . I was talking to my manager about it and she told me she used carry round a set if rules to her children handing them tyo her sand her husbands family, she is really assertive and together so can do this. I come off a bit emotional so if I did this people would think I was crazy, I think you can either tell them over the phone before you get there that you will bring her round but please no holding as you don't wasn't to make Ava jealous , or say you are feeling a bit emotional and would rather just you hold her at the moment then if they act funny you just dont have to go.

Well I went and everyone hekd her. I was ok to begin with but toward the end of our visit my nan held her and wouldn't give her back even after I asked 5 times.. in the end I got a bit angry and said just give me my baby. I asked for her back as she was kissing her face and although she doesn't have one atm she suffers from coldsores.
Everyone was saying I will make a clingy baby having her in the sling to which I just said thats fine because she wont cry for ne in her 20s so I need to make the most of it seen as shes probably my last as my nan has already expressed her opinion on me having another
Ah well got it out of tge way snd now I csn hog emily all to myself now xx

I know exactly how you feel I was the same when I had my son. I didn't say anything to anyone I just let them hold him, but I think I've put my finger on what I didn't like. I think it was that once I'd passed him over he would be out of my arms for maybe an hour while he got passed around. I didn't mind my sisters holding him because of he cried they would give him straight back as they have kids and they understand its horrible when your baby cries and you can't get him back. But not eveyone would. I also didn't like him passed around like a parcel without being asked if it was ok and also didn't want children holding him. One of my friends passed him to her 3 year old and I was horrified but I didn't want to fall out over it. I'm pregnant now and hoping I will be a bit more relaxed this time but I feel so protective over my son it's overwhelming, I won't even let anyone babysit. I have asked myself if I have a problem I'm not really sure but I know I feel very anxious if he's not with me. However, as hard as it is its also important that they build lots of attachments and rationships with family and I think you need to try to let this happen. Your family must be desperate to meet her so maybe you should be honest and tell them how you feel. I have started telling people now how I felt when my son was born and they have been really understanding. Can you grin and bear it for an hour or two?? I think we may be in the minority as my friends with new babies don't seem to mind their little ones being held. Good luck huni xxx

I can't stand other people holding Alice either... I was the same with Charlie and Lewis too.. I don't know what my problem is.. Certain people I dont mind.. But most people I do.. I also don't really let anyone else feed her.. I think Joe's fed her a handful of times and my mum has started a feed twice... But I can't stand it and take over or hover.. I was fine with other people feeding the boys though.. I won't even leave Alice unless I know I'll be back to feed her again.. (she's bottle fed)... I think it's just a mummy thing.. X

I was like this with some people when jack was very small. Didnt like him being passed around and awkward like you say when people just dont want to give them back. I find it is the older generation like your nans etc who are usually the worst offenders. We know they want a cuddle but its when they struggle to hand them back, telling you what you shouldnt be doing while they are holding your baby and especially people who suffered with coldsores kissing them. That was my worst with my gran, shes got a heart of gold and was so hard asking her not to 'over kiss' his face knowing she gets them. x

The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes. Watch how the leaves within the pouch have room to gracefully unfurl in your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.

Dublin High's Ondre Rudolph rushed the ball 52 times for 341 yards and three touchdowns to secure a victory against Miramonte Friday.
"It was a good night," Rudolph said of his career high for carries. "I never got tired. It's a mental thing when you're that busy. You just have to think about continuing to pound it and not worry about your stamina."
While Rudolph's carries set the tempo -- rushing the ball on 52 of the Gaels' 67 plays from scrimmage -- the senior tailback didn't find the end zone until late in the third quarter when his 1-yard touchdown run gave Dublin a 14-7 advantage, its first lead of the game.
Dublin quarterback Tristan Elias' 44-yard bootleg keeper set up Rudolph's second score on the Gaels' next possession. His final score came on a 61-yard rush on his final carry on the night late in the fourth quarter to build a 22-point lead.
Miramonte had the passing attack to stage a comeback but not enough time. Matador quarterback Nick Sheehan threw for a pair of touchdown in the game's final two minutes to tighten up the final score. He finished with 198 yards on 21-of-35 passing.
The contest was the first Diablo Foothill Athletic League game for both teams and improved Dublin's record to 3-2 overall. Miramonte (2-3, 0-1) suffered its first road loss of the year.

Cuccinelli Releases Tough Ad in Virginia Race
Virginia's Republican candidate for governor, Ken Cuccinelli, the commonwealth's attorney general, released a tough TV ad against Democratic contender Terry McAuliffe, adding to a race that has become pretty ugly.
Entitled "Despicable," the ad focuses on a McAuliffe investment several years ago with an Rhode Island estate planner — a man who has since pled guilty in federal court to an insurance scheme involving terminally ill patients. Mr. McAuliffe's name surfaced on a list of several hundred investors in a court document released earlier this week.
Mr. McAuliffe isn't alleged to have done anything wrong, and a campaign spokesman says Mr. McAuliffe didn't know about the fraudulent nature of the investments at the time.
"Corrupt insider Terry McAuliffe," begins the 30-second Cuccinelli ad, continuing, "Terry McAuliffe invested in an insurance scam that preyed on dying people." It concludes: "Profiting off the terminally ill? Is that the kind of man you want as your governor ?" with a close-up of Mr. McAuliffe's face. It wasn't immediately know where the ad was running or how much was being spent on it.
The McAuliffe campaign slammed the TV commercial.
"This ad is despicable and the latest sign that Ken Cuccinelli is resorting to desperate and false attacks to make up for the fact that he is one of the most disliked statewide candidates in memory," said the McAuliffe campaign spokesman.
"Terry was one of hundreds of passive investors several years ago and had no idea about the allegations against the defendant – who, at the time, was widely respected by business leaders and elected officials. The allegations are horrible and he never would have invested if he knew he was being deceived," the spokesman said.
The race remains close with less than a month to go. Mr. McAuliffe has a lead over Mr. Cuccinelli in recent polls, but many voters are seen as ambivalent about the two men. A Quinnipiac poll out this week has Mr. McAuliffe leading 47%-39% among likely voters.
The Rhode Island estate planner's recruitment of terminally-ill people for insurance and bond investments was the subject of a February 2010 page one article in The Wall Street Journal.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Before the second game of a three-game set with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, Giants manager Bruce Bochy was told that he had a 7-9 record on his birthday.
Bochy, who turned 59 on Wednesday, insisted on adding the first game of this series to that record since the extra-inning win was clinched at 12:14 a.m. Wednesday.
Late Wednesday, the longtime manager received yet another birthday victory, thanks to a vintage performance from Ryan Vogelsong and a clutch hit from slumping third baseman Pablo Sandoval.
The Giants edged the Dodgers 2-1 at AT&T Park to clinch their fourth series win in five tries this season. Both of the wins that were finalized Wednesday came by a single run.
"We'd like to have some ones where we can relax a little more, but a win is a win," Vogelsong said. "These kinds of games, we're kind of used to them. You take them any way you can get them."
Vogelsong pushed aside two inconsistent outings to start the season to give up one run over six-plus innings. He faced the minimum through the first five innings, throwing just 56 pitches as the Giants swiped three outs. Dee Gordon led off the game with a single but was wiped out on a double play. Matt Kemp walked with one out in the second but was picked off first base. Juan Uribe hit a leadoff single in the third but was caught stealing on a botched hit-and-run attempt.
Buster Posey gave Vogelsong an early lead with a third-inning single to right field that brought Hunter Pence racing in from second, but the veteran right-hander couldn't hold on. He walked opposing pitcher Paul Maholm with two outs in the sixth and Gordon golfed a breaking ball into the gap for an RBI triple.
Still, Vogelsong finished with what was by far his best line of the season. He threw a first-pitch strike to 16 of 22 batters and held his mechanics throughout, something that was an issue for him during spring training and in his first two starts.
"He stayed consistent with his delivery," Bochy said. "Tonight, he stayed in sync and had good command throughout the game. He pounded the strike zone."
The Vogelsong who glared in from the mound Wednesday night was the one the Giants had hoped to see when they gave him a one-year deal in the offseason and locked him into the fifth spot in the rotation.
"I finally got the results I've been looking for," Vogelsong said. "I've been working real hard on the side. It just kind of all came together for me."
The bullpen has come together, too, with Jean Machi joining stalwarts Sergio Romo, Javier Lopez and Santiago Casilla to get the Giants through the late innings. Machi entered with two runners on and no outs in the seventh and struck out Kemp. After an infield single, he got Uribe to hit into an inning-ending double play.
"What an unbelievable job he's done," said Romo, who picked up his fourth save of the season. "We've put the guy in pretty much every situation and he's done well."
The stellar pitching couldn't come at a better time for the Giants. The bats have cooled a bit, and a few hours after leaving 16 runners on base, the Giants stranded eight and went 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
Sandoval came through in the seventh, though, hitting a broken-bat RBI single up the middle after the Dodgers had intentionally walked Pence to get a better matchup. Sandoval, who is hitting just .186, said he agreed with the move. He took advantage of it, too.
"I just tried to play pepper," he said. "Go back up the middle of the field."
Sandoval's knock clinched the fourth win in five games against the Dodgers this season.
The Giants have their own bumps and bruises. Shortstop Brandon Crawford missed Wednesday's game with a tight right hamstring but expects to start Thursday. Sandoval hurt his knuckle on his game-winning hit but said it isn't serious.
"Ideally, you don't like carrying 13 pitchers, but in this case we're better off going this way," Bochy said. "As we get into this, hopefully we get quality starts -- a lot of quality starts -- so we can go back to 12 pitchers."
Wednesday's outing by Vogelsong was just the fifth quality start in 15 games for the rotation.

CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol. 1 No. 11 Sept. 1957 Weed Control Program on Idle Lands \i the above photograph employees of Flathead Agency Soil and Moisture Conservation (SMC) unit are spraying idle farmland severly infested with Canada thistle. 160 acres of such land infested with noxious weeds were treated with herbicide chemicals in the season just ending. Some of the infested lands were treated twice. Funds earmarked especial ly for weed control in idle trust lands were made available for the first time in the past fiscal year of 1957. The Flathead agency received $3,500 for the present F. Y. 1958 beginning last July 1. These special funds have enabled Agency personnel to perform a real service to Indian land owners and to the community. Idle lands have been drawn into the over all weed control program and need no longer be a source of infestation to surrounding lands. Two spray units were operated from the Flathead Agency either on idle farm lands or for Indian land operators throughout the weed spraying season. Harold Felsman, John Michel and Frank McClure, the equipment operators, killed a lot of weeds before the season's end. As noxious weeds are controlled, the' idle agricultural lands become more attractive to prospective lessees. Approximately 1,000 acres of land that remained idle throughout the past year were leased for the crop year of 1957. Extra effort on the part of Agency leasing personnel together with the weed control measures 'n on idle land are largely responsible this reduction in idle land acreage. Indian ranchers and farmers used both Agency and weed district equipment in spraying noxious weeds on their units in the past season. Several operators have gone to considerable expense in treating patches of noxious weeds that once established, seriously reduce grass and crop yields as well as the value of crops harvested from infested lands. The response of these land owners to problems in weed control, which effect not only their land but that of neighboring farms and ranches, is to be commended. It is well to remember that spraying is not the only effective weed control measure. Mowing, crop rotation, and controlled grazing are equally important in obtaining control of noxious weeds and are sometimes less expensive and more effective. Experimental results in the state indicate that mowing Canada thistle (our No. 1 noxious weed) once each year, gave almost complete eradication of the weed after 3 years. This experiment was carried out on land where there was a vigouous crop such as alfalfa or grass to compete with the thistle. Spraying irrigated pastures wih 2 lbs. of 2,4-D per acre annually gave resuls almost identical with those obtained from mowing in the same period of time. We have a lot of weeds throughout the Flathead Reservation but land owners and various agencies concerned with weed control have made a lot of progress in the past few years. Farmers and ranchers are learning new methods in their warfare on weeds and new chemicals are constantly being developed. The ASC program, in sharing the cost of control measures on noxious weeds, has cut the financial burden on the land operator in half. The time hasn't come when we can relax and forget a problem that is estimated to cost Monana farmers 5 million dollars each year. We are beginning, however, to see some results from control efforts and an increasing interest in the problem on the part of people both on and off the farm. Anne Pierre, Aree, Is 101 Only one woman of the Tribe is older than Anne Pierre, Arlee. Anne is 101, while her friend, The Sack Woman (Mary Kaltomee, whose story has already been on these pages) is 111. Anne still lives in her little log cabin west of the tracks in Arlee. Here she busies herself almost around the clock with the things that interest her, especially making sure that she in in her own home. Her daughter-in-law, Rosalie Poker jim, watches over her while her son, Eneas Pierre, spends much time with her. Anne does not remember much about her own parents as she was a very little girl when her grandmother assumed the responsibility of raising her. She was born at Stevensville and talks often of those early days which she now recalls. She knows that she came to the Jocko Valley with Chief Charlo when, brokenhearted, he gave in to the government's removal of the Flatheads from the Bitter-root to the Jocko. She remembers a stop at Schley where a first attempt was made to put up the teepees for the new home to be established. Again, an order to move was heeded. With it was a promise of stoves, pots and pand, and other riches. The new camp was set up where Arlee now stands but Anne is still waiting and remembering the riches promised her. James Sapiel (Sah Pierre) was Anne's husband and to them were born 16 children. The son, Eneas, is the only one of the 16 still living. Sapiel died in 1934. Grandchildren, first, second and third generations, are too many for Anne to recall. Even though her trips to town are fewer and seldom alone, Anne is still a beloved woman of Arlee and she and her gnarled walking stick will long be legend.

Shaving tips: Acne-prone skin
The following tips will help you get your best shave, no matter what shape your skin is in.
Tip 1: Wash and hydrate your face and neck before shaving. A face wash or facial scrub will warm, deep clean and help soften facial hair before you shave. You also should hydrate skin with warm water for at least three minutes to soften your facial hair and make it easier to cut.
Tip 2: Choose a shave gel designed to remove dirt and oil, such as Fusion® Hydra Gel Hydra Smooth Shave Gel.
Tip 3: Go easy — use light, gentle strokes when shaving. This is especially important for areas of your skin that are broken out. The razor should do the work, not you.
Tip 4: Apply a light, post-shave moisturizer, such as Gillette® Series Sensitive Skin Aftershave Lotion, after you shave. This will help ensure that your skin does not overcompensate for dryness by producing more oil.
Tip 5: Wash your face at night with a soap-free scrub to remove the daily buildup of oil.

Tips for shaving sensitive skin
If you experience razor burn or nicks and cuts when shaving, read on to see tips for shaving sensitive skin, and start enjoying a smoother, more comfortable shave.
Properly Prepare Your Skin
Use a face wash or facial scrub to help soften facial hair before you shave. You also should hydrate skin with warm water for at least three minutes to further soften your facial hair and make it easier to cut.
Start With the Right Tools
Use a nondrying, dermatologist-tested shave gel, such as Fusion ProGlide® Sensitive Shave Gel + Skin Care 2-in-1, to soften hair and help defend your skin against nicks and cuts. Also, use an advanced multi-blade razor that has blades spaced closer together, such as Fusion ProGlide Power Razor with FlexBall™ Technology, to help reduce pressure on each blade for more comfort and less irritation.
Check Your Blades
Dull blades can lead to nicks and irritation. Change your blade when you experience tugging or discomfort. Or try a razor that features an indicator strip that will fade to white when you might no longer be getting an optimal shave.
Use Good Technique
Shave with light, gentle strokes. Your razor should do the work, not you. Start shaving with the grain (in the direction of hair growth). Then if necessary, go against the grain for an even closer shave.
Save the Best for Last
Shaving your upper lip and around your mouth at the end of your shave will give the shave gel more time to soak in, further softening your facial hair and making it easier to cut. Also, a single blade is really useful for shaving the tricky places, such as under your nose.
Rinse Your Blade Frequently
Rinsing the blade often throughout your shave prevents buildup on the blade edges and cartridge, and will result in better glide and more comfort.
Protect Your Face and Neck
After shaving, rinse skin with cool water and pat it dry. Then use a hydrating aftershave lotion, such as Gillette® Series Sensitive Skin Aftershave Lotion, to cool and moisturize your skin.

5 reasons you need shave gel
Our skin is our largest organ, and we go to great lengths to protect it. But if you're skipping shave gel in the shower, you're not doing all you can to care for your skin. An amazing shave gel can be the difference between so-so skin and show-off skin.
1) Protect Your Skin
Using shave gels is a great way to shield your delicate skin. Shave gels create a luxurious layer between the blade and your skin, allowing razors to glide with ease and protecting you from nicks, cuts and razor burn. Our rich shave gels produce a cushion effect that soap and water alone cannot replicate. So wear that sassy skirt or short shorts with the confidence that your legs are flawless.
2) Soft Leads to Smooth
It's vital to soften skin and hair before you shave. But before you reach for the soap, consider this: Soap cleanses skin, removing dirt and essential oils, leaving your skin dry and vulnerable. Water softens skin but evaporates too quickly to be effective. Our ultra-creamy shave gels reduce water evaporation from the skin and keep hair hydrated, ensuring an incredibly comfortable shave.
3) Forget the Guessing Game
If you shave with soap and water, it's hard to keep track of where your razor has passed. Shave gel makes it easy to see where the blades have already shaved, so you can stop shaving the same spot over and over again (something that can irritate the skin — fast).
4) Help Protect Skin From Moisture Loss While Shaving
One of the best and most important benefits of a shaving product is helping protect the skin against moisture loss while shaving. Soap and water can dry out your skin. Gillette Venus' best shave gel lineup — Venus with Touch of Olay Vanilla Cashmere, Venus with Touch of Olay Sugarberry Bliss and Venus with Touch of Olay Violet Swirl —provides 5x more moisturizers than bar soap. We bet you won't be able to stop touching your silky skin (and neither will that special someone; double bonus).
5) A Match for Your Skin Type
Your skin is as unique as your personality, and there isn't a one-size-fits-all shave gel solution. That's why it's important to find the shave gel that's perfect for you. Gillette Venus considers all skin types — from sensitive skin to dry skin — when developing our shave gel formulas. So, no matter your skin type, Gillette Venus has the shave gel formula that's a perfect match for you.
For more information, visit the Gillette Venus Brand Shop.
Secrets to smooth
Silky skin is simple when you follow these hair-removal basics.
1. Shave Gel: A Smooth Beauty Must
Along with a Venus razor, shave gel is the secret to a smooth shave. It contains lubricants, which help the razor glide over your skin. Want a comfortable shave? Satin Care shave gel lubricates to provide a cushion of protection as you shave.
2. One Razor, Head to Toe
Keep your shaving routine simple with a single razor. Just remember that underarm hair and bikini area hair grow in different directions. In those areas, try shaving from all three angles — up, down and sideways — for a smooth shave.
3. Removing Facial Hair
While there's technically nothing wrong with shaving facial hair (guys do it all the time!), most women prefer methods that allow for more control when it comes to hair removal for eyebrows and upper lip — like waxing, tweezing and depilatories.
4. The Scoop on Other Hair-Removal Methods
When it comes to the task of hair removal, the options are numerous. Here are a few:
- Waxing: Long-lasting (but can be messy) and, on some women, may leave skin irritated — ouch!
- Electric (dry) shaving: Easy to do at home, but may not give as smooth a shave as wet shaving, and razor maintenance is critical.
- Depilatories: Fast and easy, but tend to have an unpleasant odor and can potentially irritate skin.
- Epilators: Stubble required — long-lasting results may vary.
- Electrolysis: Permanent hair removal has a hefty price tag requiring a skilled professional.
- Wet shaving: Inexpensive, convenient, quick and safe with a quality razor.
5. Smooth Sailing: Navigating the Tough Spots
We've all done it — nicked a knee or ankle while shaving. The secret to getting a close shave in those tricky spots? First, choose a high-quality women's razor, designed especially for your curves — like the Venus Embrace razor. Once you've chosen your razor, let these areas soak up as much shave gel as possible. Take it slowly, using short strokes, and don't put too much pressure on your razor for an ouch-free, smooth shave.
6. Say No to Nicks & Cuts
Many of these discomforts are caused by old, dull blades or slippage. Using a premium razor like the Venus Embrace women's razor with its SoftGrip handle and five blades for outstanding closeness can help prevent nicks and cuts, and give you a close shave. While shaving, remember to use vertical strokes rather than horizontal. And for balance, try putting your foot on an edge of the tub with a washcloth underneath. It will help you stand your ground while shaving.
7. You Choose: Refillable vs. Disposable
A refillable Venus razor lets you try out all of the different blades Venus has to offer. Venus Refillable razors also provide a comfortable SoftGrip handle that really lasts — great for the eco-conscious shaver. On the other hand, Venus Disposable razors offer use-and-toss convenience for a fresh razor blade in an instant.
8. Best of the Best: The 5-Blade Advantage
The more blades, the more hairs get cut. And, of course, that means a smooth shave. The Venus Embrace razor is the first women's shaving system to feature five blades that individually adjust to your natural curves. Want soft and satiny smooth skin? Check out Venus with a Touch of Olay Violet Swirl shave gel for an amazingly comfortable shave you'll love.
9. Shave to the Knee — or Above?
This is a personal choice. Shaving does not make hair grow back thicker, darker or faster, but it will grow back, so you'll need to keep shaving your thighs once you start to keep them smooth. Think about what feels right for you and your beauty routine.
10. Blade-Changing Basics
While there's no set rule, you should replace razor blades at the first sign of dullness or discomfort. For most women this is after about 5–10 shaves. Venus razors have interchangeable razor blade refills that fit all Venus razor handles, so you can even try a different type of blade on your current Venus razor.
11. Workout Buddy: Shaving at the Gym
You spend countless hours working your quads and calves, so finish off refining your best assets with an ultra-sexy and smooth shave. Slip a Venus Breeze razor, the 2-in-1 ultra-convenient women's razor with built-in shave gel bars, into your gym bag. It's a quick and easy solution to show off your beautiful legs after a hard workout and get heads turning.

|Genus and species:
|Tylototriton shanjing
The emperor newt is black with several orange bumps down its back and a solid orange tail. These orange bumps are actually glands filled with a potent poison. If the newt is caught by a predator, the pressure will cause the glands to discharge the toxic liquid.
Emperor newts spend their time lounging on rocks or in the water, though they are not particularly adept at swimming.
In the wild, insects make up the majority of the emperor newt's diet.
Fertilization is external and generally takes place in the water with male emperor newts depositing spermatophores and then dragging the females across them. Females will lay their eggs a couple of weeks later, attached to partially submerged rocks. She usually lays between 40 and 60 eggs at a time. Emperor newt larvae need only ten to 18 days in the egg. After they hatch, it takes an additional 100 to 150 days for the young to completely metamorphose into juvenile newts.

STOCKTON - Police arrested three people suspected of robbing a woman late Friday afternoon after committing a number of burglaries earlier in the day, authorities said.
A 19-year-old woman reported that she was near English Oak Circle and A.G. Spanos Boulevard about 4:15 p.m. when three people stole her backpack. Officers recognized that the description of the robbers matched the description of three people responsible for several other burglaries that occurred earlier in the day, police said. Officers located the men in a vehicle nearby, authorities said.
Joseph Markarian, 20, and two boys were arrested on suspicion of robbery, burglary and conspiracy to commit a crime, police said. The names of the boys were not released because they are minors.

Did someone let Sprague loose with a chainsaw at Big Creek? I was over there a couple of days ago and full trees were cut down I am not complaining, just wondering what the scoop is. I think the course looks great.
Which leads me to my poll question (which may be an aftermath).
1) Should Big Creek be refubished to it's original design (take out a lot of the dogwood/ thorn bushes/ weeds/ etc. and trim up the trees)?
2) Or leave it the way it is with minimal trim?
3) I could care less

Shipping Containers For Sale
Shipping & Storage Containers for Sale
Shipping Containers have revolutionized the transportation of non-bulk cargo around the world. Along with improvements in port handling facilities and intermodal transportation such as truck and rail, the container has made the world a smaller place. Today, goods manufactured in China can be on sale in your local Wal-Mart within a few weeks of leaving the factory in Guangzhou.
Containers are used by people around the world to move goods and used containers to store their inventory and even as portable offices and permanent housing. They come in two basic sizes, 20 feet long (6.1m) and 40 feet long (12.2m) are the two most often seen advertised as shipping containers for sale, although there are other lengths in use, mostly in various domestic markets. (48ft and 53ft are standard US domestic sizes) For trade between countries separated by half a world and a huge ocean or two, the TEU is the unit of measurement.
TEU stands for 'Twenty Foot Equivalent Units'. It is equal to one standard 20 ft by 8 ft wide container. Height is not a factor and so you can have 'High Cubes' and 'Half Height' containers which are the same length and width but differ in height. The maximum gross mass for a 20 ft dry cargo container is 30,480kg, which includes the weight of the container so the actual payload mass is closer to 28,380kg.
A 40 ft container is a 2 TEU capacity container. Although twice the length of the 1 TEU 20 ft unit, it has a gross mass of 34,000kg and a payload mass of just 30,100kg. Doubling the length of the container wouldn't double the payload unless the container itself was made a lot stronger and that would increase the TARE mass far beyond the capacity of a truck or rail car to carry it safely on roads and rail lines.
The width of railway tunnels and truck beds as well as the average clearance of bridges and overpasses are responsible for the height of both 20ft and 40ft units being kept at 8 ft (2.4m). Standardization of the container has facilitated trade between countries with differing gauges. The flatcars the container may travel on when offloaded from a ship and moved around in a new country are all the same, but the gauge of the wheels will differ. Many countries use a 'standard gauge' of 4ft 81/2in (1435mm) but Russia, India, Finland and Spain all use a 'broader gauge' and many countries in Africa and South America use a 'narrower gauge'.

Knitter's Review
May 23, 2013
Imagine you had your very own spinning mill. What kind of yarn would you make?
Anne Bosch has been spinning yarn at Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill for 25 years now. The only thing that surpasses her skill is her curiosity. Recently she's been giving her carding machine a work-out, blending different colors in just the right quantity to produce slow, graceful color progressions in yarn. The result is a true artisan yarn deserving of the name Colorflow.

The gunman fired several rounds, striking the victim once in the forearm. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment, according to a report.
The gunman was described at 6 feet 5, 175 pounds, last seen wearing gray pants and a gray sweatshirt, according to police.

SANTA CLARA -- When it came to the 49ers' best interests, A.J. Jenkins' lack of production spoke louder than Trent Baalke's draft-day faith, Jim Harbaugh's tersely supportive declarations or the receiving corps' glaring needs.
Jenkins' stature as last year's first-round draft pick couldn't buy him a second chance -- or a second season -- so the 49ers traded him Monday for the Kansas City Chiefs' own maligned wideout, Jonathan Baldwin.
Whereas Jenkins' speed should have made him a sleek target, he had only one reception in 77 snaps this preseason, which was one more catch than he had all of his rookie season.
"I'd like to thank the 49ers coaches and organization for the opportunity they gave me, and I can't wait to get going in KC," Jenkins, the 30th overall pick in 2012, posted on his Twitter account.
The 49ers hope Baldwin's bigger frame (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) will better serve their offense -- with little time to spare before the Sept. 8 season opener. A 2011 first-round draft pick, he's produced 41 receptions for 579 yards and two touchdowns in 26 games (10 starts).
"Both players have been presented a great opportunity for a new beginning with their respective teams," Baalke, the 49ers general manager, said in a statement.
By the time Jenkins got summoned to Baalke's office for Monday's exit chat, it had become evident he wasn't climbing the depth chart. Three newcomers -- Anquan Boldin, Marlon Moore and rookie Quinton Patton -- have virtually sewn up roster spots, along with fourth-year veteran Kyle Williams, who took Jenkins' departure hard.
"It's a little shock because, to us, that's family going out the door," Williams said. "It's not a sigh of relief over here. I hate seeing him go."
A year ago, Harbaugh vehemently promoted Jenkins as an "outstanding" player and vowed an I-told-you-so moment toward the media's "scribes, pundits, so-called experts." On Monday, Harbaugh tried selling the trade as a "fresh start."
"A.J. is a very talented player. He has never been an issue or a problem as a teammate," Harbaugh said. "He competes. He works very hard. There's no reason both these guys can't end up having a great career."
Jenkins played only 47 official snaps last season, and he dropped the only pass that came his way. His speed remained his heralded asset when the 49ers needed more from him, especially in terms of self-confidence, a stronger physical presence and, of course, receptions.
Williams referred to Jenkins as his "little brother," someone he tried to mentor on the field and off. Williams' final message to Jenkins on Monday: "I talked to him and told him real fast: 'Make the most of your opportunity. You wanted a fresh start and you got it, so go do it.' "
Jenkins didn't request a trade, according to a league source. But the Chiefs do seem like a positive landing spot, where he'll reunite with former 49ers quarterback Alex Smith and play under a coach, Andy Reid, who historically adores smaller, quicker receivers.
Wideout Chad Hall, who played under Reid at Philadelphia, said he texted Jenkins after Monday's trade and told him: "You're in good hands, and keep up fighting."
Tight end Vernon Davis suggested that Jenkins "take his approach toward the game up a notch," citing off-field areas to improve such as study habits.
Davis, who heralded Jenkins' potential a week ago, thought the trade should offer Jenkins a great place to start anew. "It can be a wake-up call for him," Davis added.
Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said Jenkins is "a talented individual" whose "skill set" fits their roster. Baldwin, Dorsey stated, is "a hardworking player and a professional."
Unlike Jenkins, Baldwin almost assuredly will make the 49ers roster, unless something goes askew in the next two weeks. He is expected to practice Tuesday for the first time with the 49ers, who play their third exhibition Sunday night against the visiting Minnesota Vikings.
Financially, Baldwin could provide roughly $1 million in salary-cap relief over Jenkins. That is partly because Jenkins' base salaries the next two seasons are guaranteed at $705,797 and $1.02 million. Baldwin has salaries of $1.06 million this season and $1.27 million next season, neither of which is guaranteed.
Harbaugh said Jenkins still could evolve into a top-flight player, referring to the transformation Cris Carter had when he left the Philadelphia Eagles and turned into a Hall of Fame wideout with the Vikings. Harbaugh also cited his move from the Chicago Bears to the Indianapolis Colts in 1994.
"A.J., the why and that kind of thing, I'll just speak from personal experience: I was projected by a team, sent to another team and with the next team, my signature years came," Harbaugh said. "It can be a real positive. That's what everybody hopes for in this situation."

West Alabama a sports fans' paradise this weekend
Spectators can choose among several events
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 10:15 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Baseball, softball, gymnastics, track and field, rowing and tennis.
And yes, even football.
If it can be played, it will probably be played somewhere around Tuscaloosa in one of the year's most jam-packed sports weekends.
It starts tonight with the University of Alabama baseball team hosting Arkansas in the first contest of a three-game series, with first pitch set for 7:05 p.m. at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The series will feature two nationally-ranked teams, with the Crimson Tide coming in at No. 22 in the Collegiate Baseball Top 25 and Arkansas — ranked No. 1 earlier this season — currently at No. 11.
Another matchup with national ramifications will take place at Rhoads Stadium, where the defending national champion Alabama softball team, ranked fourth, will host No. 6 Missouri in a three-game series starting with Friday's 8 p.m. game. UA will be giving away about 4,000 T-shirts as part of a "Stripe Out" promotion in which alternating sections of the stadium will wear crimson and white.
The action in town has not escaped the notice of ESPN's family of sports networks. Alabama's baseball game tonight will be televised on ESPNU, as will UA's softball games on Friday and Saturday.
The two-time defending national champion Crimson Tide gymnastics team will try to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships on Saturday, when it hosts an NCAA regional starting at 6 p.m. The two top finishers in that meet will advance to the national championship event in Los Angeles.
The Alabama rowing team will take to the Black Warrior River on Saturday starting at 9:30 a.m. for its only home regatta of the season. The UA program, in its seventh year, will host West Virginia and Central Florida. Manderson Landing, at the intersection of Jack Warner Parkway and McCorvey Drive, is a top viewing location for the free event.
The Alabama men's and women's track and field teams will host the Crimson Tide Invite, a one-day event set for Saturday, at the Sam Bailey Track and Field Stadium. Alabama men's tennis will host Texas A&M on Sunday at 1 p.m.
The sporting action is not limited to UA. Stillman College will host its annual spring football game at Stillman Stadium at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Stillman is also scheduled to host LeMoyne-Owen in a softball doubleheader starting at
1 p.m. Saturday.
An hour down the road in Livingston, the University of West Alabama will hold its spring game starting at 10 a.m. in association with a crawfish boil near the stadium. The UWA baseball and softball teams will host games at 3 p.m.
There will also be a full slate of high school action in various sports. Brookwood visits Holt in baseball on Friday, with Central, Tuscaloosa County High, American Christian Academy, Holy Spirit and others also hosting games. The City-County Softball Tournament will be played Friday and Saturday at Brookwood and Holy Spirit.

Journalism major at the University of Oregon. Editor-in-Chief of Her Campus Oregon. Magazine, freelance blogger, future world traveler. In her spare time, she likes to read as many books as she can, go for long drives, and peruse news websites. Hopes to one day write for National Geographic.
I didn't realize I had so much experience dating until recently, when I was talking to my grandmother about the boys in my life. She married when she was 21 and had kids right after so she was never really able to "date around," as is the norm today. She helped me realize an important life lesson in the aftermath of a series of unfortunate flings with boys: I don't have to be in a relationship just because everyone else is.
Whoever said school is a place for learning wasn't entirely wrong, but they neglected to mention that when you have some eye candy in that chemistry class, you're much more motivated to show up every day. Should college be your go-to locale for flirting or could it really be the place to find your love?
David Coleman says college is just a "four-year experiment." Coleman is a real life Hitch (think Will Smith movie) and has made it his career to travel to hundreds of universities giving dating advice to students. He says college is "too artificial a situation to have a relationship." Could he be right?
"You're going to throw a bunch of 18- to 22-year-olds into a place where they can hang 24-7, 365, with no parents around, have all that freedom, all that alcohol, and access to each others' heart, mind, body and soul … when really they're going to graduate, they have no idea what they're going to do, or even where they're going to move or go to school," Coleman says.
Coleman makes a good point. It's no wonder there are so many negative dating experiences in college. The bottom line is there is so much pressure from society to have a relationship that when it's over, it feels like the end of the world. A lot of my friends (and I know I've done this too) have put so much of themselves into a relationship thinking that their boyfriend or girlfriend is "the one," only to have it not work out. They're left alone and feeling hopeless. With this kind of pattern, college students are especially vulnerable to setting themselves up for disappointment.
It's hard for me to remember that there's nothing wrong with me if I'm not in a relationship or constantly looking for one. It is incredibly fun flirting and having the possibility of a relationship present itself, but it's also refreshing not having the distraction.
If you're in the midst of pursuing a relationship, try not to take it too seriously at first. Ease into it and embrace the simplicity of not rushing. The best "dates" I've been on with a guy were ones where we did a lot of talking. Who says that you have to do dinner and a movie the first time you two hang out? Try going for a walk in the park at midnight; you'll have the swings all to yourselves. Go for a drink and play some pool. Let him teach you how to sink your ball into that corner pocket (even if you already know how).
Remember that it's not the end of the world if you're not in a relationship when it seems like all of your friends are. There's no rule that says you must find a boyfriend or girlfriend as soon as you begin college so do your own thing on your own terms.

The Daily Start-Up: Transonic Advances Car Fuel Efficiency as Emissions Rules Tighten
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
With $32 million in Series D funds, Transonic Combustion is heading down the long road to getting a new technology into a mass-produced car. Transonic has developed a fuel injection system that can either decrease a gas-powered car's emissions, or help burn fuel more efficiently. Both applications are being spurred by recent legislation. In California and Europe new emissions rules were passed, and on the federal level in the U.S. and in Europe, fuel economy standards are being stiffened.
Some of the names behind SpringSource are regrouping for another open-source company, Elasticsearch, which has raised $10 million in Series A funding. Benchmark Capital, which also invested in SpringSource's Series A, led this round. Elasticsearch was built to search for both structured and unstructured data across distributed machines, with results returned in milliseconds. Applications of the technology include indexing two petabytes of emails and attachments and narrowing the results of large-scale, free-text searches with structured data such as time ranges or locations.
Also in today's VentureWire, Jetlore is ready for take-off. Founded by a cluster of Stanford Ph.D. students, the start-up has been honing technology for nearly two years to infer semantic context from social posts, and is emerging from stealth with seed funding and a plan to make sense of the social digital exhaust from the likes of Twitter Facebook and Pinterest…Private equity firm Endeavour Capital has acquired medical-device company Access Scientific, whose vascular-access technology is said to be on the verge of shaking up a $3 billion market. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed…and Brett Hurt has joined Austin Ventures as a venture partner following his stint as chief executive of Bazaarvoice, a company he founded and led to an initial public offering in February.

The principal of Stockton's Bear Creek High School, Shirley McNichols, stopped distribution of 1,700 copies of the monthly Bruin Voice newspaper last week, saying a front-page article about allegedly outdated safety policies could panic students.
Editor-in-Chief Justine Chang and adviser Kathi Duffel told The Record of Stockton ( http://bit.ly/11sR6P1) that the principal was embarrassed about what the article exposed.
"I think (administrators) were embarrassed by how they are portrayed in the article," said Chang.
McNichols denied that. She also said that the district has a policy that allows administrators to monitor the newspaper's content and withhold it if it causes a safety issue, and administrators quoted in the story were disgruntled employees.
McNichols said safety could be improved, including fixing the school's lockdown alarm and intercom so they function in all classrooms. Portions of the safety plan referred to in the article already had been improved, she said.
The U.S. Supreme Court has held that most cases of prior restraint are unconstitutional.
Duffel has had a previous run-in with administrators over the newspaper. She was written up for insubordination for allowing students to publish a story about the former principal losing his master key without allowing him to review it first.

Shreds like crazy
By Dorothy
from Columbia, SC
I bought this yarn on sale in two pretty colors for sweaters, one for my sister and one for myself. So far I've knit about half of my sister's sweater and am having huge problems with snagging, splitting, and shredding. The pattern stitch requires double yarn overs, K2tog, and psso's. All these stitches offer opportunities to split the yarn, and boy does it split. Once the yarn is split, undoing it and reknitting the botched stitch leaves several of the threads loose from the rest of the yarn and it's impossible to get these shredded stitches to lie flat and behave themselves. I hope that I can pull all these shreds to the inside when I'm finished so that they won't show. I haven't had the problem of knots within a ball, but switching to a new ball is a challenge. I use the weaving in technique, not knots, when joining the yarn. But the tails that result promise to pose shredding problems when the sweater is finished. I may have to knot the very end of the yarn instead of simply cutting off the tails. I'm not looking forward to knitting my sweater -- in fact I may not ever get around to it.
soft cotton, beautiful colour
By cageyknits
from columbia, sc
I used this yarn for an easy eyelet baby blanket. The yarn was soft and a beautiful colour (jade). It suggests hand washing, and though you want cotton to be machine washable, this is probably advisable...This was the easiest cotton yarn I've ever knit with--had more flexibility than others.The yarn splits easily, so requires a bit more care when knitting.One complaint I have is that within the balls of yarn, they would attach two strings together and leave no ends--a very ugly knot indeed that you had to work to make a nicer knot with ends you could weave in. I was expecting such a small ball of yarn to be in one piece.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt and exactly as requested.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very pretty color, soft to touch, but too many knots to use again. I bought this on sale, would have hated to pay full price.
Makes for pretty projects
By Shhgirl
from Santa Fe, NM
I´m knitting a summer vest with this and previously knit a shawl with this yarn. It has great stitch definition so is a good yarn for showing off a pretty pattern. Do be careful with pointy needles though because it seems like it is about 12 ply and it is easy to catch a bit of the yarn when you don´t want to.
I would buy this product again

text: I have trouble recording the foods I eat and I don't get much time to sit down at the PC to update properly. So I thought I would have a go at photographing my food/meals on my mobile as and when and update my diary that way I think having my visual food diary thread on the 'healthy eating' forum is best suited as I don't follow any particular diet or calorie count. I do try to eat a range of healthy foods when I can. My other aims are to; 1. Exercise more 2. Stop mindless eating 3. Don't eat excessively Ideally, I would like to lose around 3 stone, but besides from losing weight for my wedding (Sept 2012 - I got to around 11 and a half stone) other than that I have never been lighter than that!! My body tends to like being in the high 12's/low 13's. At the moment I'm in the lower 12's.

Thank you for your responses,(about Tarbutton. editor) We have been confused by all the Joseph's, William's and Robert's too. Ron must have married me to bring another Elizabeth to the family! I am fairly confident that if we can determine William B's parents without a doubt, that the line will tie to the Maryland line that is well documented. My husband, Ron, is the grandson of Robert Howard, born to Joseph A. and Mary Ann Sanders. Robert Howard was a noted aviation pioneer in Oklahoma.
If you have any suggestions on other areas to search, we live in Denton, which is an easy trip to the Wood County area.
