UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Every week we spotlight the various characters, phrases, objects or events that eventually became notable parts of comic book lore. Not major stuff like "the first appearance of Superman," but rather, "the first time someone said, 'Avengers Assemble!'" or "the first appearance of Batman's giant penny" or "the first appearance of Alfred Pennyworth" or "the first time Spider-Man's face was shown half-Spidey/half-Peter." Stuff like that. Here is an archive of all the When We First Met features so far! Check 'em out!
Today we take a look at three notable Wonder Woman firsts! The first time she flew in her invisible jet, the debut of the Diana Prince secret identity and the first time Wonder Woman exclaimed, "Merciful Minerva!"
First up are two simple ones, as they debuted in the first issue of Wonder Woman's ongoing monthly feature in Sensation Comics #1 (by William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter).
First off, the issue opens with Wonder Woman flying her invisible plane (not yet a jet)…
Words cannot describe how much I love the fact that they do not bother to explain WHY Wonder Woman has an invisible plane. She just does. Deal with it, suckers!!
Commenter Basara makes a good point that it is originally a plane when it first debuts, not a jet.
Up through Wonder Woman #44, it still had a propeller (although it had traveled into the stratosphere, as noted by commenter Scott, in #26)…
The next issue, though, was a recap of Wonder Woman's origin (as a female reporter came to Paradise Island to learn Wonder Woman's story) and the plane has now become a jet…
Wonder Woman #99 (Ross Andru and Mike Esposito's second issue as the artists on the title) debuted the new look for the invisible jet, the look the jet would have for years to come…
Later that issue, Wonder Woman gained the most awesome secret identity ever…just something she grabbed off of some crying lady she ran into…
According to comic book logic, there are exact duplicates of most of us on every street corner in any large city.
Reader Shurron F. asked when was the first time that Wonder Woman exclaimed, "Merciful Minerva!"
Well, early on, Wonder Woman just took her cues from Steve Trevor and the U.S. military…
but eventually her go-to phrase was "Great Aphrodite!"
However, "go-to" is a bit of a stretch as she used a LOT of different exclamations over the years.
One common early one was to make some reference to characters from mythology (who, of course, to Wonder Woman, are quite familiar and not just characters) (like "Atalanta's Arrows!"). My favorite was…
But otherwise, she was ALL over the place. From football metaphors…
to awesomely bizarre bits like…
to going all Good Will Hunting on the Nazis…
In Wonder Woman #6, she says "Great Hera," which soon became one of her top phrases…
But finally, in Comic Cavalcade #4, of all places, she says…
Yes, she THINKS it, but come on, that so counts.

Why on earth does Wonder Woman feel the need to hide an invisible plane in a deserted barn?
Keeps people from walking into said invisible plane. Also? Keeps from killing any innocent birds who might be flying past
Everybody remember where we parked!
Also: forget "Merciful Minerva," when did she first say "Suffering Sappho"?
Certainly, even by Golden-Age standards, how Wonder Woman adopted her everyday identity of Diana Prince is absurd. But, curiously enough, writer William Moulton Marston actually followed up on it, making it one of the rare Golden-Age efforts to instil continuity based on a previous story.
The Wonder Woman story in Sensation Comics # 9 (Sep., 1942) opens with Diana Prince having lunch with Army major Steve Trevor. A man named Dan White approaches their table, claiming Diana is his wife. White angrily accuses Diana of walking out on him and their baby. It's a toss-up as to whose jaw drops the furthest at that news—Major Trevor's or Diana's. Trevor, however, recovers first and punches White in the mouth, driving him off.
No doubt startled by Trevor's rare display of manliness, Diana takes a few seconds longer than usual to figure out that Dan White must be the fiancé, now husband, whom the real Diana Prince was going to join in South America.
The story then follows White back to an apartment in town where he finds his wife slaving over a hot stove and taking care of their baby. White confirms his credentials as a jerk by pushing his wife around and accusing her of stepping out on him.
Mrs. White—the real Diana Prince—also figures out what happened and goes to Military Intelligence headquarters to confront the girl who took her place. The real Diana wants her identity back. She explains that, while in South America, her husband, the jerk, invented a weapon that he felt would be useful in the war effort. So they returned to Washington, D.C.
The problem is White has been unable to find anyone interested in purchasing his invention, he hasn't got a job, and they're broke. Diana figures if she can have her identity back, she can take over the pretend Diana's job as secretary to Colonel Darnell and bring some money home.
The real Diana lays in on thick—"I can't let my baby starve!" and that sort of thing—and basically guilts Wonder Woman into agreeing to giving the real Diana her identity back. Apparently, being a colonel's secretary isn't that demanding because all it takes to complete the switch-over is for W.W. to tell the real Diana "a few things about the job and then I'll get out!"
As we find out, somebody is interested in Dan White's invention—Axis spies! Of course, the Amazing Amazon intervenes, rescuing both the real Diana and Dan the Jerk. The U.S. government realises that there must be something to Dan's invention, if the Japanese tried so hard to get their hands on it. So Uncle Sam buys it.
Now that their bank account is healthy, the real Diana Prince decides that she doesn't need that ol' civil-service job, anymore. She goes back to being Mrs. Dan the Jerk and Wonder Woman goes back to being the pretend Diana Prince.
"One common early one was to make some reference to the gods (like "Atalanta's Arrows!")"
Sorry to burst your bubble, Brian, but Atalanta wasn't a goddess.
And that invisible "jet" is a prop plane in that appearance.
I wonder when it actually makes the transition from prop to jet? It had to either be late in the war, or after, as there was a lot of "jet aircraft will never be a useful weapon" crap during the war in the US & British governments & militaries, until the Me-262 started flying and the V-1s (which used a pulse jet engine) started dropping on England.
Sorry to burst your bubble, Brian, but Atalanta wasn't a goddess.
Sorry, I just meant characters from mythology, not actual gods (as she mentions Hercules, as well).
Great Odin's Ravin!
By the Beard of Zeus!
Sweet Lincoln's mullet!
Uncle Jonathan's corn-cob pipe!
Antony and Cleopatra!
"Suffering Sappho" is a fun story. when Wertham was on his campaign against comics he specifically cited Wonder Woman as having 'dangerous' lesbian undertones. Marston loathed Wertham and his campaign, so as a thorn in Wertham's side he had Wonder Woman begin exclaiming "Suffering Sappho!".
I long for the day when she exclaims "Quivering Quim!"
Interesting–aside from "Great Hera!" the Wonder Woman catchphrase I remember the most is "Sufferin' Sappho!" I'd forgotten all about the Minerva one.
In Wonder Woman vol. 1 #26, Wonder Woman needs to travel into space to investigate reports of abuses by the Golden Women of the Red Planet. To make the journey possible, Baroness Paula von Gunther installs a "stratosphere just attachment" to the robot plane, making it capable of jet-powered flight.
Excellent point, Scott.
Mr. Cronin, you beat me to the punch. While I was doing the research to determine when Wonder Woman's invisible robot plane became a jet, you did the heavy lifting and posted the straight gouge. (I was only able to narrow it down to the approximate year, into which your more precise answer falls.)
As to the question of when the invisible ship began to take on the lines of a jet (rather than just being a clunky old plane without a propeller), I can only hazard a guess.
In "The Origin of the Amazon Plane", from Wonder Woman # 80 (Feb., 1956), the ship still has the appearance of an ordinary plane without a prop. So I'm betting that it didn't take on the streamlined appearance of an actual jet until Wonder Woman # 98 (May, 1958)—which was the first issue drawn by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, who took over the series following the death of Harry G. Peter.
Ha! Talk about our timing being on the same page! I was JUST in the middle of editing the piece to add the first appearance of the new look jet in Wonder Woman #99 as you were making your essentially correct guess in the comments (off by just a single issue)! Like you, I figured it had to be when Andru/Esposito took over, and it was!
I'm pretty sure that panel where she says "Great Hera" is actually from Wonder Woman #6, where the Cheetah tries to drown her in all that wheat.
I love it when, in the The Pro, the WW analogue says "Sappho's Lips!"
You are correct, Sean. It was a typo.
WW #45 was the first appearance of the propellor-less plane, and it was also the first time Wonder Woman's origin was told without reference to World War II. This seems to be the issue where Kanigher takes over fully as editor-writer, and her commemorated with a somewhat new direction for Wonder Woman, just as he did at #98 with the new art team.
Excellent observation, Sean.
So, what if the original Diana Prince ever returns from South America? Wouldn't it create a bit of a mess, as there are two people with the same name, social security number, etc? Did Woncer Woman just presume Prince will stay in South America for the rest of her life?
Also, are we to just assume that WW is so similar to the original Diana Prince that none of her co-workers, or patients, or other people who know her won't notice the difference? What if they want to talk about some personal aspects of Prince's life that WW doesn't know about? Are these issues ever dealt with in the comic?
Tuomas had some concerns that will be addressed in a future column (just in case Tuomas was wondering where his comment went).
Interesting that no one asked why she needs the plane at all.
Originally, WW was a glider riding the winds; she wasn't self-propelled. Much more recently, she's been able to fly. I think that's a shame. Jumping and gliding limited her power and made for more situations of peril.
I'm amazed to find out that the secret identity trick was (almost) the same used in the '70s TV show. I thought it was pretty lame when I saw it first, still it was faithful to the original!
I haven't seen the New 52 Wonder Woman fly on her own power yet, so the regular use of the robot plane might have come back.
However, even if she can fly, it doesn't negate the usefulness of the plane. IIRC, it was addressed jokingly in the comics where someone basically notes that while most people can walk, we still have cars to get to places faster and to transport more stuff… much more considerate to carry an injured steve trevor back to America in a climate controlled plane than carrying him in her arms thousands of miles!
interesting for always wondered what issue she said Merciful Minerva given all the other phrases she said over the years. plus interesting that the invisible jet changed too. for knew that she got the Diana prince i.d from her very first issue.
I take it that Tuomas made the same questions relating to continuity and Super Friends that I want to do?
Something that I have always been confused about: is Wonder Woman's plane really invisible, or is it just made out of some sort of transparent substance like plastic? Did any of the stories ever give a definite answer to that question? I mean, in the first appearance which is cited by Brian, it's described as a "silent transparent plane." But most often in later years it is described as "invisible." Is that supposed to be literal or figurative?
Here's some other Wonder Woman questions that might be fun to track down the answers to:
(1) When did Hippolyta first become blonde? I'm guessing it was her first appearance during Ross Andru's run. Also, when did she go from "Hippolyte" to "Hippolyta"?
(2) When was Wonder Woman first shown gliding on air currents? I don't remember any Harry Peter story where she did this.
(3) Like Ben Herman above suggested, it might be interesting to find out when WW's plane was truly first described as invisible rather than transparent. If they do bring it back in the comics, they should have two modes: transparent and fully invisible. When invisible, Diana and any passengers would also be invisible.
(4) When did WW first use the lasso to compel someone to tell the truth? When introduced, it had the more general power to command anyone to do anything. It was the Lynda Carter TV show that limited the power to truth-telling, and the comics followed suit only after the George Perez reboot.
I sat down to tackle at least the first two of your questions, C-R Lad, thinking it wouldn't be that difficult. Boy, was that an underestimation!
My usual process for such things is to, first, see what answers the on-line resources provide, then go to my own copies of the magazines to confirm. Unfortunately, I was never a Wonder Woman collector, so I had to trust whatever I found on line. When that happens, I check multiple sites, to see if they corroborate each other. With that technique, I got two answers out of three.
The Amazing Amazon was first shown displaying the ability to glide on wind currents in the tale "The Human Charm Bracelet", from Wonder Woman # 106 (May, 1959).
As for the good Queen Hippolyta/e, as you surmised, she went blonde after Andru and Esposito took over the art chores. Her locks turned golden in "The Million Dollar Penny", from Wonder Woman # 98 (May, 1958).
As for when the spelling of her name changed, that's the part that made me want to hurl my computer out the window.
Most sites simply stated that the spelling of her name changed from Hippolyte to Hippolyta "sometime in the '60's." A couple more sites got a bit more specific, but only in passing, by standard editorial notations; rather than making specific reference to the spelling change. And unfortunately, neither of those sites were consistent.
The best I can do with any kind of reliability is state that the spelling shift occurred sometime between Wonder Woman # 80 (Feb., 1956) and Wonder Woman # 93 (Oct., 1957). My best guess within that envelope, based on what I found, is that she became "Hippolyta" in "Journey Into the Blue", from Wonder Woman # 83 (Jul., 1956).
And it's quite possible that, during this period, the spelling of her name switched back and forth before finally settling on "Hippolyta".
Hopefully, Mr. Cronin, or some other correspondent, has access to the actual issues and provide a more precise answer.
Hope this helps.
You nailed it, Commander Benson. "Journey Into the Blue" in #83 was, indeed, the change in the spelling (and once they changed it, it was Hippolyta for good).
I based that guess on the GCD's listing of Hippolyte/a's appearances in Wonder Woman, Sensation Comics, and Comics Cavalcade. The queen was annotated in each appearance as "Hippolyta", but when I got to "Journey Into the Blue", I noticed the editor had placed a "(sic)" next to her name.
I gambled that that editor, whomever he was, was as obsessive about proper diacritical and editorial annotation as I am.
Sometimes it pays to be a stickler.
Thanks for checking on that, sir.
Would love a part 2 article on recent appearances by the invisible jet! Has it appeared much since the 80's crisis?? Heinberg or Simone's run? the nu52 series? I'm sure it made an appearance in Morrison's JLA…
By Simone's run, the one plane had become a bunch of ultra-stealth vehicles built by Wayne Tech, of all places. Steve Trevor took an almost perverse pleasure in wrecking the last of them in #599 — or #45, however you want to look at it.
All that fuss about restoring her original numbering — and then a year later, the nu52 wipes it all out… what DC does with/to Diana can make you want to rip your hair out!
Kudos to both Brian Cronin and Commander Benson for their thorough research. Thanks, guys.
Here's an unrelated one I would like to ask about for a future column, Brian. When did Peter Parker's eyes go from blue to brown? I have been rereading all my Amazing Spider-Man comics, and the original time I read them it was all in recolored reprints, so his eyes were always recolored brown. This time I'm reading scans of the original Amazing Spider-Man books as they were originally colored, and I'm surprised to see Peter's eyes blue as recently as Amazing Spider-Man #129, the issue I'm currently on. His eyes appeared as brown during the Roy Thomas Morbius issue with 6 arms but immediately went back to blue soon after. Also, does anyone know the reason for the change?
I just found an earlier instance of the spelling "Hippolyta" from WW #80. I'll go backwards through my comics until I can find when the change happened.
As for riding air currents, it seems she was doing it before it was actually named, in the switchover to the Silver Age in issue of #98. Perhaps this was the issue where she "taught" herself, because to catch the falling Steve Trevor, she's able to– well, you can see for yourself–
If I recall correctly, later stories describe her riding air currents like an escalator, or "swimming" on air currents, until it became it became the standard "riding" or "floating."
T:"Here's an unrelated one I would like to ask about for a future column, Brian. When did Peter Parker's eyes go from blue to brown?

RE: the reason for the change,
If memory serves, didn't Stan always refer to Peter in dialogue as having brown eyes?If so, I would assume that it was a case of the colorist matching the dialogue.
I remember a scene from the '70s "Secret Society of Super-Villains" comic in which Superwoman (the evil Earth-3 version of Wonder Woman) was taken by surprise. Instead of "Merciful Minerva," her exclamation was "Murdering Minerva!"
With help from the Fleisher Wonder Woman Encyclopedia, it seems the first instance of the "Hippolyta" spelling is in Wonder Woman #57, from 1953. I checked the actual comics, and saw that she was Hippolyte in #54, did not appear for two issues, and then was Hippolyta in #57, and from then on.
As for when she first exclaimed "Suffering Sappho," I believe it was in WW #21, the story featuring the villainess Atomia. This was also one of the first Wonder Woman stories written by Robert Kanigher, and as he noted to Trina Robbins years later that the Amazons were "all lesbians," I think the invention of this exclamation was his own private joke.
I've seen some golden age comics where Wonder Woman has the power to fly on updrafts (which just happened to be around every time she needed to fly). Between that and the plane it seems like they were willing to invent a great deal of absurdities to avoid giving her straight-up flight. Could it have been just to separate her from Superman?

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK- Offensive struggles and an early Dallas lead put a halt to any sort of Edmonton comeback as the Stars beat the Oilers, 4-0 pre-season play in front of over 8,800 fans in Oklahoma City.
"That wasn't very good," said Oilers Head Coach Dallas Eakins. "I was actually okay with a lot of our system play but for some reason we didn't want to shoot the puck or put pucks on net. That caused us to be basically into the zone and be back-checking which is no fun. That was a good lesson for our team."
Austin Smith scored first for the Stars at 11:07 of the first period on an unassisted sharp angle shot. The puck snuck past Devan Dubnyk and Dallas took a 1-0 lead into the locker room after the first 20 minutes.
The Stars had a 3-on-1 rush when Luke Gazdic carried the puck in the zone and sniped it top shelf on Dunyk giving Dallas the 2-0 lead with seven minutes to play in the second.
Dubnyk made an impressive highlight reel save with under four minutes to play in the middle frame when he kicked his leg out and stopped a big shot.
Nail Yakupov made the OKC crowd stand on their feet when he had a chance at a wide-open net from the slot. The Oilers forward shot the puck wide and the second period ended with no goal for Edmonton, now trailing by two.
In the third, Oilers forward Ryan Hamilton delivered a blow to a Dallas player in the corner that shook the pane of glass off the dasher board. After a brief stoppage, play resumed.
Traffic out in front screened Dubnyk and Vernon Fiddler scored for the Stars to give them a 3-0 lead with under eleven minutes to play in the game.
The Stars scored an empty-netter when Oilers Head Coach Dallas Eakins elected to pull Dubnyk, down by three, with eight minutes remaining. The stars found the empty net to be beneficial and scored their fourth of the night.
"It probably wasn't our best exhibition game," said forward Taylor Hall. "We left a lot on the table and especially against a roster that really isn't their regular guys. They battled really hard and they played well against us so give them props for that. I thought we created a lot of problems on our own."
Stars goaltender Dan Ellis made 20 saves in the shutout.
Oilers forward Steve MacIntyre left the game with an apparent knee injury and did not return.

AnnouncementsDocumentation and Demonstrations Available for Charge/Payment Datamart
January 17, 2015
A document explaining the purpose and usage of the Charge/Payment datamart is now available:
Demonstrations of the datamart have been scheduled at the following dates and locations:
- Wednesday, January 28, 1:30-2:30 PM - Carruthers Hall, Conference Room A
- Wednesday, February 11, 9:30 - 10:30 AM - Newcomb Hall Board Room
In addition, a demonstration will be given at the January Departmental Aid Users Group meeting.
New Datamart of Charges and Payments
October 27, 2014
A new datamart is available in Discoverer. Called the Charge/Payment Datamart, it is intended to assist schools in answering questions about the kinds of financial charges their students have, and how the charges are being paid for. While designed primarily with the graduate schools in mind, undergraduate and professional student transactions are included as well. The datamart contains data for the 2013 Summer term forward.
Because the datamart contains data from Student Records, Student Financials, and Financial Aid, you must have two SIS reporting roles in order to use it. First, you must have the role UV SR Acad User Reporting. In addition, you must have one or more of the following roles:
- UV FA Department Reporting
- UV FA SFS Full Reporting
- UV FA SFS Limited Reporting
- UV FA School Reporting
- UV SF Departmental Reporting
- UV SF Full Reporting
For more information on the new datamart, click here to go to the appropriate page of the Data Catalog.
Additional documentation will be posted here once complete. Workshops and demonstrations will also be planned for those who are interested. Please write firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
New Plan and Subplan Fields
October 22, 2014
Reporting on program and plan information out of SIS has always been challenging. Because students can have varying numbers of plans, querying against SR_Academic_Plan combined with other folders can result in an unpredictable number of records being returned per student.
In mid-August four new columns were added to SR_Academic_Program which can greatly simplify this problem for many queries. The new column Academic_Plans combines all the plans a student has or had for the program stack and effective date of a given Academic Program record. The plans in the field are in alphabetical order, with each plan separated by a comma and a space, for example, ANTHRO-BA, LING-MIN.
The new fields Academic_Plans_Desc, Academic_Sub_Plans, and Academic_Sub_Plans_Desc work in the same way.
These new fields mean that you can often omit the SR_Academic_Plan folder from your queries.
In addition to SR_Academic_Progrm, the new fields are available in SR_Program_Term, SR_Program_Term_Non_Acad, and SR_Program_Term_Jefferson. Please contact email@example.com with any questions regarding these new fields.
Change to Q&A Schedule
September 16, 2014
Beginning in November 2014, the Reporting Question and Answer sessions will be held by appointment only. Sessions will typically be held on Wednesdays in Michie North. Please write firstname.lastname@example.com with a description of your need, and times you are available, and we will be in touch to set up an appointment. If more than one person will be attending, let us know that as well so that we can reserve a conference room.
The October 29th Q&A will be the last regularly scheduled drop-in session.
New Class Enrollment Datamart Available
September 16, 2013
The SIS Reporting team, working with representatives of several graduate schools, has created a Class Enrollment Datamart which is now available to SIS reporting users with access to sensitive Student Records data (UV SR Acad User Reporting). The datamart was created primarily to help administrators answer questions about which schools the students in their classes come from. It is designed in a star schema, which performs much more quickly than standard reporting views.
Click here for a document explaining the purpose and usage of the datamart: Class Enrollment Datamart.docx
Detailed information on the data in the datamart is available in the Data Catalog. The Catalog has also been enhanced to display information about the various SIS team Discoverer reports available in the SIS Reporting database.
Also, check out a new Discoverer report based on the datamart: SR_Sources of Enrollment.
A demonstration of the datamart will take place this afternoon at 4:00 in Newcomb Hall 389. Additional sessions will be scheduled and announced when available.
General Information
Ad hoc reporting from the Student Information System is done from the Reporting Database, also known as CSRPT. CSRPT is a copy of the production Student Information System database that is created specifically for reporting.
This copy is completely refreshed each night. Thus, each morning the data should be completely up to date, and (aside from unplanned downtimes) it should never be more than 24 hours out of date.
Each night the production SIS database is backed up beginning at 1:00 AM. When this backup completes, generally around 1:30 AM, the Reporting Database refresh begins. While the refresh is in progress, the Reporting Database is unavailable. The refresh is normally complete before 6:00 AM.
A UVa Identity Token connected to the JointVPN profile is required for all access to CSRPT.
The Reporting Database should not be confused with the Integrated System's Operational Data Store (ODS), which contains Financial and Human Resources Data.
Reporting Q and A Sessions
Do you need assistance with a reporting task? The SIS reporting team is available to answer your questions and assist you with any reporting problems you may have. There is no agenda, simply bring your questions and we will do our best to help you. Note: if you wish the reports team to look at a Discoverer workbook you have created, please share the workbook with user HD_USER prior to the Q and A session.
Please note this will not be a training session, but is intended for those who have already been through Reports training and have additional questions.
All sessions are by appointment only. Sessions will typically be held on Wednesdays in Michie North. Please write email@example.com with a description of your need, and times you are available, and we will be in touch to set up an appointment. If more than one person will be attending, let us know that as well so that we can reserve a conference room.
There is a visitor parking lot available between Carruthers Hall and Michie North.
Michie North Conference Room 201: From the visitor lot, walk around to the other side of Michie North and enter through the main door (facing Michie South). Walk straight ahead and you will see an elevator. Take it or the adjacent stairs up one floor to the second floor. Turn left. The last two doors on the left-hand side of the hall are for Conference Room 201.
If you need assistance with reporting at other times, please contact your Local Expert, if available, or contact the SIS Help Desk at 4-HELP, followed by 3, then 1, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student Information System (SIS) Toolkits. Reporting role names all end in the word Reporting.) You may also refer to the SIS Data Catalog for detailed information on the data elements contained by each role.
Click here to access the SIS Data Catalog (VPN required) is here.
The SIS Data Catalog contains information about all the data available in the SIS Reporting Database. The Data Catalog has two modes: the Discoverer mode (the default) and the Database mode. The Discoverer mode shows the data as it appears in Discoverer, with business areas, folders and item names as they appear in Discoverer. In the Database mode, the views and columns appear as they do through tools other than Discoverer. (Many roles and views are not defined in Discoverer, and therefore only appear in the Database mode.)
In either format you can see all the available security roles, and click on them to see the data that is contained within that role. Likewise (in the Discoverer mode) you can select a Business Area to see what it contains. Selecting a view (folder) will display the columns (items) it contains and information about them.
By default, the Catalog displays all data available in the Reporting Database. However, you may wish to see only the data that is currently available to you. By entering a computing id in the Single User View box, you will see the reporting roles that person currently has, and only the data that they are able to see.
Roles, views, and columns may also now have descriptions which will display in the Catalog. We will be adding more descriptions over time. However, it is not our goal to necessarily have a description for every column--in some cases the meaning is obvious from the name of the column. If you find that a description is missing that you would find helpful, let us know at email@example.com and we will try to add it.
If an item in a view displays as a link, that means that additional information is available by selecting the link. The additional information might be a more extensive description, or a list of all the possible values the item might have.
A nice feature of the Data Catalog is that when new data elements (roles, views, columns) are added to the Reporting Database, the Catalog will update automatically, and so always be up-to-date. (Descriptions have to be added manually.)
In addition, the descriptions we create for folders and items (in the Discoverer view) will also be visible within Discoverer itself, so you will not be required to always go to the Catalog to see them. When you are on the Select Items tab of the Workbook Wizard, and click on a folder or item, the description displays near the bottom of the dialog box. However, Discoverer only displays a limited number of characters, so you may want to go to the Catalog for more information about folders.
There is also a Search feature available in the Catalog. By clicking the Catalog Search at the top or bottom of any Catalog page, you are taken to a Search Page where you can enter your search text. The Catalog will search Role, View and Column names and definitions and return the results to you.
If you find any problems using the Catalog, or have suggestions for its improvement, please let us know at email@example.com.

Candid Banter With Medvedev Most Revealing
By Lukas I. Alpert and Alexander Kolyandr
MOSCOW – With television cameras rolling, Russian Prime Dmitry Medvedev spent nearly 90 minutes Friday answering tough and wide-ranging questions from five veteran journalists, but it was the five minutes of candid banter after the broadcast that may have been the most interesting.
As Mr. Medvedev and his interlocutors unclipped their microphones thinking the official broadcast had ended, the cameras were actually still rolling and their unguarded conversation would ultimately appear tacked onto the end of a video clip posted on the website of Kremlin-run English language news station RT.
While most of the back-and-forth was benign, Mr. Medvedev's crack after being thanked for starting the Q&A session on time and not going wildly over schedule was among a few that raised eyebrows.
"Someone has to be punctual, while others have exhausted their quotas for being late," he quipped. His boss and patron, President Vladimir Putin, is legendary for being hours late to events.
When asked about a Friday morning police raid on the home of a filmmaker making a documentary on Moscow opposition protests, Mr. Medvedev called police "jerks" for storming into people's homes early in the morning.
"It will be okay. Don't worry. Those who come at 8 a.m. are jerks. It's simply a matter of habit. I know a lot of people who work in law enforcement who think that if they come at seven in the morning, they will find everything," he said.
Also Mr. Medvedev – who during the official part of the broadcast had spoken vociferously in support of a tough anti-tobacco bill making its way through parliament – admitted he had once smoked.
"I couldn't tell you this before but I stopped smoking in my fourth year [of university]. I didn't smoke a lot, perhaps five to seven cigarettes a day," he said.
He then chided the journalists for smoking, telling them, "you guys should stop."
A spokeswoman for Mr. Medvedev declined to comment "on eavesdropped conversations."

Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM have been confirmed to appear at the 17th annual South by Southwest Music Festival (SXSW), set to be held Mar. 12-16 in various venues in Austin, Texas. It is presently unclear if the band will perform any additional U.S. dates as part of the jaunt, the primary purpose of which is to stir up label interest in the group.CHILDREN OF BODOM, whose previous output was released in North America through Nuclear Blast Records (via a licensing agreement with Finland's Spinefarm Records), re-signed with Spinefarm last year after entertaining offers from several other companies. Spinefarm, whose parent company, Spin-Farm Oy, was bought out by Universal Music early last year, are said to have an arrangement in place whereby Universal companies in North America have the first right of refusal on all new releases coming out through the label. CHILDREN OF BODOM's appearance at 2003 South by Southwest Music Festival is believed to be intended as a showcase for Universal's North American executives, who have not yet made a final decision as to whether they will issue the group's new album domestically. CHILDREN OF BODOM's latest CD, "Hate Crew Deathroll", is due in Finland on Tuesday, Jan. 7 through Spinefarm. The album was tracked at Astia studio in Lappeenranta, Finland and was mastered in early November at Finnvox studios in Helsinki. For more information on the 2003 South by Southwest Music Festival, visit the event's official web site at this location.

Welcome to our Nursery
Welcome to our Nursery
Westminster Nursery School is maintained by the local authority and employs qualified and experienced early years teachers and nursery nurses to deliver high quality early education and care for young children. The nursery school has operated on the site since 1950 and the current building was erected in 1992.
Children are eligible for a 3-4 year old place from the term following their third birthday until statutory school age. Children are offered up to 15 hours of their free early years entitlement in a variety of options and the school also offers parents the facility to purchase additional sessions if available.
A number of places are available in our newly equipped 2 year old classroom for children who qualify for early entry under the Government targeted offer to eligible 2 year olds. Further details on the eligibility criteria is available via the Family Information Service.
Currently parents are invited to make visits with their child during the term prior to admission. This provides the opportunity to meet with key workers and discuss any issues that are of concern to them, whilst enabling the children to sample a selection of our activities. We encourage parents to start to talk about visiting nursery so that children know it is a friendly place to have fun and meet new friends.
All children and families are unique and as such their individual needs are taken into account throughout the settling in process. Settling into nursery is an important time for young children and their families. For some children this will be the first time they may have been left with another person and often the first time they have been left in a larger environment. At Westminster Nursery School we aim to make this process as smooth as possible.
We hope that by working with parents/carers we can provide the best possible start for children's entry into nursery, laying firm foundations for the future.
Research shows that good quality nursery education has many long term benefits and in recognition of this the school has been awarded the 'Inclusion Quality Mark' which celebrates the school's success in providing a "safe, happy, caring and challenging environment, which promotes an ethos of inclusion and entitlement for all"
Our latest 'Ofsted Inspection' in November 2014, states: "Children's achievement in their personal, social and emotional development is outstanding and they achieve well in other areas of learning. Disabled children and those with special educational needs achieve extremely well"

- 911 problem: Slow response violates Rural Metro's ambulance contract with Santa Clara County
A timeline accompanying a story about former Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa's involvement with an ambulance company competing for a county contract incorrectly reported the date that the Saggau-DeRollo political consulting firm registered Rural/Metro ambulance as a client. As the story indicated, the date was November 2009. The same article was imprecise about the nature of campaign funds that Rural/Metro's political action committee spent in 2012 on the campaigns of Shirakawa, his former senior policy aide Andres Quintero, and Supervisor Dave Cortese. Those funds were independent expenditures raised and spent on behalf of their campaigns, not money given directly to the candidates.
In December 2009, Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr. flew into the San Diego airport, rented a Grand Marquis and headed to a marina Marriott for a five-day taxpayer-funded trip.
With the county's vital ambulance contract soon up for bid, Shirakawa and his chief of staff, Eddie Garcia, asserted that they were conducting a tour of the "WestMed" ambulance service, according to documents they would later file with the county justifying the $1,742 in expenses.
But the now-disgraced politician and his former right-hand man never visited Westmed, whose headquarters is in Hayward -- 475 miles from San Diego and just 25 miles from Shirakawa's San Jose office. Instead, they stopped by the San Diego offices of Rural/Metro, an Arizona-based company that had just declared its interest in taking over Santa Clara County's highly lucrative ambulance contract.
Just weeks before the trip, Rural/Metro hired Shirakawa's former lobbying partners to help the company navigate the local terrain. Ten months later, Shirakawa cast a deciding vote to hand Rural/Metro the $375 million contract, a move that was controversial then and remains controversial now. The company is under fire for slow response times, and its paramedics are threatening to strike. Meanwhile, Shirakawa is set to be sentenced next month for squandering county funds and campaign contributions on his entertainment and gambling habits.
It's unclear what role, if any, Shirakawa's visit to Rural/Metro had on the company winning the county's highly contentious ambulance contract, but in an email to the district attorney in March, County Executive Jeff Smith expressed concern with any deciding vote that Shirakawa cast during his four years in office.
Kirk Hanson, executive director of Santa Clara University's ethics center, agreed. "I hope the county is examining all decisions where Shirakawa's votes were decisive," he said. "And if there is specific misbehavior, I think there's grounds for reconsidering."
Shirakawa's influence and connections would have been valuable to any firm trying to wrestle the ambulance deal away from American Medical Response, the company that held the contract here for half a century.
Before the East San Jose Democrat ran for supervisor in 2008, the longtime politician was a consultant for the well-known lobbying firm Saggau-DeRollo, which represented Rural/Metro before, during and after the bruising contract talks.
Two days after their visit to Rural/Metro, Shirakawa and Garcia used the county credit card to have lunch in San Diego with the company's San Jose-based lobbyist, Dustin DeRollo, who said last week that he was in town on another matter and had nothing to do with Shirakawa's visit to Rural/Metro.
While it's typical for local governments to send staff members with expertise to scout businesses vying for big contracts, it's unusual for elected officials who ultimately vote on the deals to go.
"Certainly it would seem unusual to visit one (side) and not the other," as Shirakawa did, said Barbara Pletz, who served for 20 years as San Mateo County's Emergency Medical Services administrator.
Norman Kline, a member of the California Common Cause board, noted that "whenever you have a city council person or a county supervisor meeting in private with people who are going to benefit from their decision, that should raise red flags."
Indeed, just six weeks before Rural/Metro signed a five-year agreement with the county, the company made an unusually large donation -- $50,000 -- to the local Democratic Party chapter.
Tom Saggau, who advises his clients on political contributions, said the timing of that donation was in no way suspect. "If they write a check," he said, "it's certainly not to garner support or influence legislative action."
Shirakawa, the sole county board member to visit Rural/Metro, also accepted a $250 campaign contribution from the company's public affairs director and a $50 ticket to a chamber barbecue from the company after it won the contract. In 2012, the PAC also spent $1,006 on behalf of Shirakawa's senior policy aide and another $769 each on behalf of Shirakawa and Supervisor Dave Cortese, who also voted in favor of the Rural/Metro contract.
While there was nothing illegal about those donations, Smith, the county executive, became concerned in March after District Attorney Jeff Rosen filed corruption charges against Shirakawa that revealed he took illegal cash contributions from still-unknown donors. In an email to the DA obtained by this newspaper, Smith wrote: "I am worried about the legal integrity of Board actions IF George took such donations from parties before the Board. In particular, contract decisions where George was the decisive vote."
It remains unclear why the twice-elected supervisor identified Westmed instead of Rural/Metro when he documented his publicly funded business trip, which took place one day after the company announced it would bid on the county contract.
Shirakawa, 51, has declined interview requests since his March 1 arrest but responded in a brief email: "Westmed. Huh???" He responded with a second email acknowledging the Rural/Metro meeting and saying: "If there was reference to any other company, then it was a result of human error."
County officials also had originally described a clerical error. But when pushed by deputy county counsel Susan Swain at a reporter's request, one of Shirakawa's former District 2 staff members, Marisa Ybarra, "now recalls that she was informed to put Western Med on the documents," Swain said in an email.
Rural/Metro officials strongly decry any notion they tried to win Shirakawa's influence, and they insist he asked for both the visit and a campaign contribution.
Any "allegations of impropriety between Rural/Metro and former Supervisor Shirakawa" would be false, and any "defamation" would be met with "immediate action," corporate counsel Jennifer Holsman Tetreault wrote in a May 2 letter to this newspaper.
In an interview, the company's California director of public affairs, Michael Simonsen, said: "Rural/Metro had absolutely nothing to do with him coming to San Diego." Instead, he said, Shirakawa's office contacted him to request an in-person meeting at the company's San Diego headquarters, which took place at Simonsen's office on Dec. 4, 2009, and lasted an hour.
"We talked about the system in San Diego, introduced him to our partners in the fire department, talked about our partnership in San Diego and how we run the EMS system here and showed him around the office," Simonsen said. "It's more of an administrative office."
Simonsen said he only gave Shirakawa a campaign donation because the supervisor asked for it. "If I had known that my measly $250 contribution was not going to be used in support of his campaign and was going to be used for other things, then I certainly wouldn't have written that check," Simonsen said, referring to Shirakawa's gambling troubles.
DeRollo, the former lobbying partner, expressed similar frustration. "I'm not just disappointed, I'm very angry that George's actions are hurting a lot of people and could damage people's reputations," DeRollo said. "That's another unfair outcome of his behavior."
As Shirakawa was touting the Rural/Metro deal to his colleagues, San Diego's city attorney was accusing the company of billing irregularities, involving potentially millions of dollars. In 2011, San Diego nullified its contract with Rural/Metro before reaching a settlement. It now is exploring options that include seeking a new provider.
Rural/Metro won Santa Clara County's business in December 2010 by offering a far less expensive service than American Medical Response. The 3-2 decision came after a bruising battle over who would provide 911 service to the nearly 2 million residents in the county.
At a Dec. 14, 2010, public meeting, Shirakawa declared his support for Rural/Metro, and he hailed the vetting of the only two contenders as fair. "The process certainly was very independent," he said. "No one can say they weren't involved in a process that has a lot of credibility."
The county later released an announcement quoting Shirakawa saying, "During these tough economic times, we not only have to be stewards of county resources, we also have to consider how our decisions will impact what residents will have to pay for services."
So far, the impact has been dubious. After just a year and a half, the county informed Rural/Metro in January that it had breached its contract by failing to arrive within 12 minutes on 90 percent of calls in two specific months. County officials now say additional violations could cost the company its contract.
At a meeting Wednesday before the county's health and hospitals committee, Simonsen said that "we understand that 90 percent is 90 percent, and we must meet those goals," adding, "we of course want to be above that."
Looking back now, county officials are perplexed by Shirakawa's connections with Rural/Metro.
Former Supervisor Liz Kniss, who together with Supervisor Ken Yeager voted against the contract, said she had no idea whom Shirakawa was really visiting on that San Diego trip.
"You'd never see anything like that from the other supervisors," she said. "It was not only unacceptable, but so many things were fishy."
The owner of Westmed said he has no idea why his company's name was used by the now-convicted supervisor.
"I have no business operations of any sort in San Diego County, not ever," Westmed President Erik Mandler said. As to bidding on the Santa Clara County contract, he added, "we never even considered it."

The Salvation Army hopes to find bell-ringing volunteers to fill their ranks for the holiday season.
They need bell ringers to work at 20 kettle sites in Greater Portland and have had trouble filling the spots.
All of the bell ringers on Tuesday were staff members.
The Salvation Army hopes to raise $160,000 during this season's kettle campaign.
"This is the critical time for us to raise dollars at Christmas," said Maj. Jim LaBossiere of the Salvation Army.
The goal for the 22 centers in northern New England is to raise $2.2 million.

Proper Use of This Medicine
This medicine works best if there is a constant amount in the blood. To help keep this amount constant, do not miss any doses and take the medicine at the same time each day.
In addition to the use of the medicine your doctor has prescribed, treatment for your high blood pressure may include weight control and care in the types of foods you eat, especially foods high in sodium. Your doctor will tell you which of these is most important for you. You should check with your doctor before changing your diet.
Many patients who have high blood pressure will not notice any signs of the problem. In fact, many may feel normal. It is very important that you take your medicine exactly as directed and that you keep your appointments with your doctor even if you feel well.
Remember that this medicine will not cure your high blood pressure but it does help control it. Therefore, you must continue to take it as directed if you expect to lower your blood pressure and keep it down. You may have to take high blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life . If high blood pressure is not treated, it can cause serious problems such as heart failure, blood vessel disease, stroke, or kidney disease.
The dose of these medicines will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The number of tablets that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are taking valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide .
Missed dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
To store this medicine:
Before Using This Medicine
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, the following should be considered:
Allergies Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to valsartan, sulfonamides (sulfa drugs), bumetanide, furosemide, acetazolamide, dichlorphenamide, or methazolamide or to hydrochlorothiazide or any of the other thiazide diuretics (water pills). Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, sulfites or other preservatives, or dyes.
Pregnancy Use of valsartan during pregnancy, especially after the first three months, can cause low blood pressure, kidney failure, too much potassium, or death in newborns. Additionally, when hydrochlorothiazide is used during pregnancy, it may cause jaundice, blood problems, and other side effects in the newborn baby. Therefore, it is important that you check with your doctor immediately if you think that you may be pregnant .
Breast-feeding It is not known whether valsartan passes into breast milk. However, it does pass into the milk of lactating rats. Hydrochlorothiazide does pass into breast milk. Be sure that you discuss this with your doctor if you decide to breast feed while taking these medicines.
Children Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide combination in children with use in other age groups.
Older adults Elderly patients may be more sensitive than younger adults to the effects of this medicine.
Other medicines Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your health care professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.

The use of guns: movies which are full of gunplay and sex

- For far too many people associated with the music, the venomous and slanderous verbal assaults on other artists that is a staple of rap - and which seems to feed its gunplay - is proof of the genre's authenticity.
- Of course, no one is overly concerned with reloading or lack of ammunition, but then that's been true since the days of singing cowboys such as Roy Rogers who smiled a lot and engaged in friendly gunplay between musical numbers.
- The making of a proper Julep - and that discussion alone can end in gunplay - is a ceremony to be undertaken with proper reverence for the ingredients and for the occasion for which the Julep is being made.

Germany, Bailouts and the Left
Here is a common explanation for the string of electoral defeats suffered by German Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right coalition this year (from Reuters):
Germans are increasingly dubious about efforts to help Greece and other struggling economies in the euro zone. An opinion poll in Europe's richest country found two-thirds think their parliament should not back more funding for the bailout.
It's become a piece of conventional wisdom, but it doesn't really make sense: The Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Left party and the Greens — Germany's main leftist parties — have all gained in recent elections, and they are all more pro-European than Ms. Merkel's Christian Democrats. They are much more pro-European than her coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party, which has seen its support in polls plummet.
The SPD and the Greens have said that they will support legislation to overhaul the euro zone's sovereign rescue fund and pay for a new round of lending to Greece — backing that Ms. Merkel might need due to wavering support for the legislation in her own party.
The SPD and the Greens have even offered conditional support for "euro bonds," a proposal strongly opposed by German conservatives that would allow debt to be issued collectively by the euro zone, with the proceeds used by the currency bloc's weaker nations. The Left party enthusiastically supports the idea.
If German voters are particularly upset about euro-zone bailouts, why is support growing for parties that want closer German integration into the euro zone?
One answer is that Germans by and large may not actually care about bailouts. When asked in a poll, they say they oppose giving money to other countries. But the issue is abstract, remote and technical; it doesn't move them in the voting booth.
What does move voters in Germany and other countries, political scientists say, is economic growth. Specifically, after-tax, per-capita income growth, adjusted for inflation, is particularly good at predicting election results.
By this measure, German voters have reason to be dissatisfied with their government. And if the current government isn't delivering, then it's the opposition that benefits.
U.S. President Barack Obama should also take note: real, disposable income growth in the U.S. has been either negative or weak since he took office. That's good news for the future Republican presidential nominee in the 2012 election.

"I love this jacket, but was told to take off the real fur collar and cuffs while skiing, they said the fur cannot get wet...is that true? That is the beauty of the jacket to where it with the fur for skiing...I have a full length fur coat and have gotten very wet in snow storms and never had a problem..."
2 Answers | Answer Question
Question by Linda on 11/6/2012 - 12:53 am
""This jacket is designed to be more of a fashion piece. The fur can get wet to an extent, but the fabric on this jacket is not waterproof. If you are going to be doing a lot of skiing, I would recommend the Bogner Meena-D Jacket as another option which does have more of the features that you need in a ski jacket.""
Answer by Martha (Peter Glenn Staff) on 11/9/2012 - 11:53 am
"You can ski in this jacket; the fur will be fine. M.Miller is a world-class furrier. They use only top-quality fur so you don't have to worry about it getting ratty from the moisture. As far as snow storms are concerned, this jacket is water-resistant. It will be fine for skiing in light snow conditions. It's not designed to be waterproof for extended wear in heavy snow or sleet storms, so some of the water may come through. Even if it gets wet, though, it won't ruin the materials. They'll dry out just fine. "
Answer by Laura (Peter Glenn Staff) on 11/13/2012 - 12:33 pm
"Hi, I wear size 4-6 for Bogner ski jacket. What size do you recommend for this M. Miller Mela jacket?"
Question by Germaine on 2/22/2013 - 12:27 am
"The size runs pretty similar. If you would like more room to layer I would suggest sizing up."
Answer by Ashley (Peter Glenn Staff) on 2/22/2013 - 9:21 am
"Does this jacket have any pockets ?"
Question by Germaine on 3/5/2013 - 8:33 pm
"This fantastic jacket has two side hand pockets. They are invisible zippers so they are not noticeable unless you really look for them which makes the jacket even more flattering. This jacket also features an inside zippered chest pocket for anything extra you may need to keep with you!"

Marietta High will face one of its toughest openers ever when the Tigers travel to Hillard Darby Aug. 22.
You have to go back to 1952 perhaps for a tougher test, a 40-0 loss to Parkersburg to trigger an 0-9 season.
But 1953 produced a tremendous turnaround, an 8-1 season and a Central Ohio League championship. The lone loss for Coach Fred Pierson's Tigers was 18-7 to the Big Reds in the second game.
Hilliard Darby was 11-2, a Division I regional finalist, and No. 6 in the final Associated Press poll last season.
The Panthers will be good again but not as good as last season. Among the wealth of talent missing are quarterback Jeremy Ebert, a 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard passer, running back Jordan Richeson, a 1,000-yard rusher, and first team All-Ohio linebacker B. J. Machen.
Ebert will play at Northwestern, Machen at Georgia Tech, and Richeson at Findlay.
"They were a very talented, senior-oriented team last year," said Steve Blackledge, The Columbus Dispatch's ace prep writer.
Darby also lost its head coach, Paul Jenne, for reportedly "personal reasons" and defensive coordinator John Santagata took over.
Last season, the Panthers avenged their only regular season loss with a 16-3 victory over Groveport Madison in the first round of the state playoffs, then whacked Upper Arlington 35-10 before losing to Dublin Coffman 42-35. Coffman lost to eventual state champ Cincinnati St. Xavier only 10-7 in the state semi-finals.
"I still think Darby is expected to be a very solid team," said Blackledge. "They have made a move the last few years to become one of the better teams in the Columbus area. They should be 6-4 or 7-3 this season."
Harrison Reed, a free safety who made almost a 100 tackles last season, and 230-pound tackle Nazar Sokora, are among Darby's best players.
Marietta will start getting ready in earnest for its big season-opening test Saturday at 6 p.m. at Don Drumm Stadium with a scrimmage against former rival Bellaire.
The Tigers and Big Reds played every year from the late 1950s into the 1980s, 28 straight seasons to be exact.
Marietta's season-opening three-game stretch prior to the SEOAL opener Sept. 12 at home against Warren will be rugged non-conference exams - a trip to Cambridge Aug. 29 and home contest against New Philadelphia Sept. 5 following the Darby encounter.
The New Philadelphia battle starts a string of five straight home games for the Tigers. That's possibly a first time for MHS. Home games with Parkersburg South, Jackson, and Logan follow New Philly and Warren. The season will be finished on the road - Zanesville, Portsmouth, and Gallipolis.
Bill Robinson is a former Marietta Times sports editor.

Formerly Bioactive-B12
Best methylcobalamin
Reviewer1530118님께서 Apr 03, 2014 에 작성하셨습니다.
Not all methylcobalamin is the same, there are huge differences in potency and it's not about the mg's. This is the best B12 I've tried. Most sublingual methylcobalamin has no noticeable effect on me. (No B12 alleviates my tiredness, but good B12 products make me sleep deeper.) This works better for me than some 10 mg products. Combined with some adenosylcobalamin the effect is very noticeable. Just don't chew it, but place it under your tongue or lip for maximal absorption.
Energy, finally!
Reviewer1479595님께서 Apr 07, 2011 에 작성하셨습니다.
I definitely notice an energy increase on this. I have moderate ME/CFIDS. I take this with Solgar metafolin throughout the day, sublingually. Also, make sure you have potassium supplements on hand when you take this, to avoid getting leg cramps from low potassium. I was salt loading for orthostatic intolerance before taking this, now I am potassium loading and using only a normal amount of salt. This is a huge difference for me.
Lasts a long time
Reviewer1870531님께서 Jun 01, 2009 에 작성하셨습니다.
Very effective, and long lasting. These do not melt in the mouth as quickly as the Jarrow methyl-B12 tablets, so I think I can absorb more of the methylcobalamin. Too bad each tablet only has 1mg of B12!
Excellent B12 for methylation
Reviewer2140768님께서 Oct 04, 2012 에 작성하셨습니다.
Effective form of B12 that tastes great and is fast-dissolving. I chew them and let the product diffuse through the membranes of the mouth, which only takes a minute or so. I take B12 early in the day, which tends to have an energising effect. This product is invaluable if you are an under-methylator in which case you may feel fatigued, irritable, susceptible to hayfever, have elevated homocysteine and suffer from sleep problems. You might also benefit from taking extra methionine, however I would not suggest supplementing methionine in the absence of B12 plus a B-complex because B vitamins are essential in driving the methylation cycle and lowering toxic homocysteine levels.
Great Price!! GOOD FOR BARIATRIC PATIENTS!
Reviewer2726606님께서 Jan 01, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다.
These are SO much better than the other B12 "expensive" chewable recc'd to my husband by the hospital. The price is better and so it the taste!
Taste great - chewable
DebraLeGere님께서 Oct 30, 2007 에 작성하셨습니다.
These are chewable and taste great. Using in addition to B complex and seem to be helping with stress and energy level.
food based B-complex is working better for my energy support...
PracticalReviews님께서 Oct 26, 2013 에 작성하셨습니다.
i read about this product at a site forum called Phoenix Rising and decided to try it,it IS the Methyl B12 superior form but my body is not getting the energy it needs from it as it gets it from B-complex's that are based on a whole food with high B12 and not on synthetic B's.also,this product irritate my gums with its sweetener content ...you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews
think they work
Reviewer3359533님께서 Dec 20, 2007 에 작성하셨습니다.
not a huge noticable difference, but maybe a little.
Enzymatic Therapy B12 Infusion Chewable
Reviewer2222288님께서 Apr 17, 2008 에 작성하셨습니다.
Enzymatic Therapy is a company known for their product quality. I am very satisfied with this one
Good taste - Less acidic
Reviewer1203742님께서 Sep 19, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다.
I like this product because it's less acidic than some other sublingual B12 tablets, and my nine year old daughter likes the taste.

Joining on circular needles
I'm trying to learn knitting on circular needles and came across a slight hindrance in my progress: the join! I looked up the tutorial on this website but it did not really specify how I'm supposed to join the two ends of the circle together. The pattern I'm using is for a hat. I cast on 80 stitches and the first 10 rows are a k2p2 rib pattern, so I joined the sides and knitted the first row of the rib pattern, but when I came to the end of the round I had an uneven number of stitches! I'm supposed to end on 2 purls, but I ended up with an extra knit stitch. Is the join supposed to be counted as the first stitch, meaning my join-stitch is the first of 2 knit stitches? Or do I join first (meaning 1 knit stitch, from the looks of it) and then start counting?

RingTV.com: So you have not specifically spoken about a Pacquiao-Cotto rematch?
RingTV.com: What was involved with Tuesday's trip to New York with Cotto?
Of course everybody has been in contact with us. Of course. Since early in the year. Of course. In earnest, until we know what's going to happen with Mayweather and Pacquiao, I can not tell you that we have a plan.
RingTV.com: Express your thoughts on how big a fight would be between Cotto and Alvarez?
But it's there. Canelo is a huge attraction in Mexico, movie star-like. Even outside of boxing and into the mainstream, I think that fight is very attractive. Two good-looking guys going at it. Absolutely, that's a great fight there.
The element of his new trainer, Pedro Diaz, adds to that and would make a huge difference from the first fight, and you saw that in the last fight against Margarito. There is new movement and new footwork and new style and new energy-level.
I think that that brings a whole new dimension to the fight and the rematch. Miguel carried a great pay per view in his last fight with Margarito. For sure, it would be a fight with fireworks. That's another big fight, no question.

August 02, 2014
A Georgian court has ordered the pre-trial detention of former President Mikheil Saakashvili in absentia.
The decision by the Tbilisi City Court late on August 1 comes after the Prosecutor-General's Office filed abuse of office charges against Saakashvili on July 28.
The ex-president had failed to appear at the Prosecutor-General's Office, where he had been summoned for questioning.
Saakashvili, who led Georgia between 2004 and 2013, left the country late last year after his second presidential term expired.
The charges against him stem from the breaking-up of antigovernment protests in Tbilisi in November 2007, as well as a raid on and "seizure" of the Imedi television station.
Saakashvili denies any wrongdoings while in office.
The United States and European Union have expressed concerns the charges filed against him.

A couple of weeks ago I was reading a post on Let's Go Ride a Bike about riding in warm weather. Specifically, what to wear to cycle to work when the heat it's hot and sticky outside. So, when I hit up the huge REI store in Denver (below) I kept an eye out for quick-dry duds that would look good in the office and be functional on a bike.
I got lucky. Not only did I find two great items, but I found them in the clearance section! (And, they're on sale online, too!)
First up, the Cassyope skort, from Lole. This skirt is somewhere between an A-line and a pencil skirt. It's fitted enough that it hugs curves but has enough give (due to the stretchy fabric as well as the subtly widening skirt) that it's a cinch to cycle in. This morning the skirt hiked up a bit as I sat on the saddle, but with the shorts underneath (made of the same quick-dry, rip-stop material) I didn't have to think twice. Right now it's on sale for $49.93.
I also fell for the Horizon Sunnyside Shorts from The North Face. These are made of the same swishy fabric as the skort, and they're probably better for a summer Friday than a Monday meeting. But the length—rolled up or left down—is right for riding and the fitted legs are quite flattering. And, they're only $29.93.
I can't get away with sporty looks every day, so I picked up a pair of shorts at Target and I'm quite happy about them too. I've been able to dress them up enough for work by pairing them with breezy blouses and strappy sandals (am still swearing by all of my Danskos). They're the Merona Bermuda Short—a steal at only $17.99. They're made of cotton—no quick dry here—but so far they've been great for riding!
