These tablets taste fine, I just wish I'd read the nutritional information before I ordered them! Didn't realise they contain dextrose, so while they're a tasty way to get your creatine, they're not great when you're on a cut! Will be sticking to the powder next time.
Going to keep this short. Always bought creatine in powder form and as everyone who takes creatine knows it is notoriously hard to mix. Thought I would try these tablets out , these are Bascially really really tasty sweets with 1g of creatinein each tablet. So if you dread drinking a shake with creatine in it then this is a must have. They are so tasty. Goes Well With:A post exercise treat.
The first one or two tablets taste questionable but after you get used to them, they're so nice, I could munch on them as sweets all day long, a great way to take creatine. Been on them for a week and already noticing endurance, strength, size and mental gains. Already recommended to friends! Goes Well With:Great on their own.
Excellent absolutely love it been noticing big changes in strength and recovery.
Struggled proviously with creatine powder and its grainy texture, so decided to give these as bash. Easy to consume and taste great - they're powdery rather than chewy - much like the old school lucozade enegry sweets from years back. In terms of effectivness - I started these along with the Diet Whey - so not sure what is giving me results. However I have increased weights at gym and have gained greater muscle endurance. Recovery times are also much quicker than before taking these. As other reviews - keep on top of the water intake, I have fallen foul of this a couple of times and got headaches from being dehydrated. So lots of fluids and you'll be fine.Goes Well With:Lots of water
Tastes great and such a good price, definitely get again
I'm taking the berry flavoured tablets and I must say they taste amazing! You immediately feel refreshed and they leave your mouth moist so take them after your shake! A novel way of getting your creatine without making your shakes gritty!
The chewable tablets are good they taste great and some much easy to take than swallowing tablets. Would recommend these I got the berry ones and like I said they taste great think I'm going to try the lemon ones next,. would say pay few quid more and get the 180 pack one, these sell pretty fast which shows how good they are.
Amazing product. Only, i've used up all mine and they're now out of stock! Im a bit lost now as these were they only creatine product i found that actually work!
simple easy to take on the go tablet......only been taking it a few days so have nt noticed any difference yet.
These tablets are excellent- taste great like the old lucozade tablets years ago. Recovery time is now much improved.
These are great well tasty and not gritty at all amazing Goes Well With:On it own or with impact whey protein
For the price you can't get any better and the taste and mixing is better than rest and you actually get a full bag to ps I got the banna flavour Goes Well With:With water
Lemon flavour amazing, easy to have at any time. 3rd batch ordered. Take every day and you feel the benefit within 2weeks.Goes Well With:On own
I'm one of many man children who can't swallow tablets. With my current diet I also can't really fit another powder into my post work out shake. These tablets taste great and are super easy to consume. I take 3 immediately after training and wash them down with bcaas. Great tasting, great results! Only fault would be not many flavours.Goes Well With:Bcaas
It was super effective! Great product, tastes great (lemon flavour) but water is needed as they are quite powdery Works really well and helps with recovery!Goes Well With:Pokemon jokes
Great product. Been using creatine on/off for 4 years and this has been the easiest way to get it. No mixing, no separate drinks. Just a chew on the way to the gym. Only wish they didn't have individual wrappers!
Fantastic product.... Good taste Goes Well With:Water to wash it down after
I personally sometimes struggle to drink creatine drinks as the crystals gather at the bottom and I don't like the taste so these are a great alternative. Don't taste like creatine at all, they are like loveheart sweets in their consistency and are like a sweet treat after the gym.
Very nice taste and really is a lovely treat to have threw out the day. Really is a great and easy way to consume creatine too.Goes Well With:Perfect to have on its own
Really happy with these tablets. I bought them after I read reviews about how hard it was to mix creatine. I bought the lemon ones which taste a little like the pez sweets. Next time I'm going to try a different flavor but which one??
Been using them for the past two weeks, 5 a day. They taste great, im really picky with the taste of shakes and things like this but they really are great, i have the berry ones. Effectiveness, i cant really yet comment on as its only been two weeks but i do feel alot more energetic whilst in the gym!Goes Well With:On its own
Very good taste. Gives a strenghtGoes Well With:Myprotein impact whey and water
Very good product if you already take a few different shakes and mixers, this is a great tasting way to get creatine into your diet and has the same effect as using a shake. Great for money aswellGoes Well With:Impact Whey Protein
Easy to use,simply pop into gym bag and take after workout.i only use on workout days but they seem to be helping.taste is great and no messing with gritty powder.Goes Well With:Protein shake
Just started using these what an excellent product taking the powder you ve got to load up on it and always forget to take it! These tabs are so easy chuck em in my gym bag job done! Excellent flavours too. Thank s my protein.😀
This is the second lot of creatine chews I have purchased and its such an easier way to take creatine well pleased!
Creatine monohydrate helped me push myself harder at the gym. It tastes quite nice, chewable tablets are very convenient and the price was quite fair in my opinionGoes Well With:natural yoghurt or fruits
Seams to be working for me, been taking them for four weeks now , drink lots of water!
A great alternative to powder or capsules. Nice chewable tables that do not result in a chalky texture or bad aftertaste. Individually wrapped so great to just pop in your pocket for straight after workoutGoes Well With:A good hard workout
Great way to take Creatine, easy to grab a bunch and keep in your pocket. Berry flavour is great! Cannot wait until MP bring out a BCAA chewable like this!!!
Perfect if your not wanting to swallow loads of tablets! 5 is optimum for post workout, felt my strength increase dramatically!
Good, effective and personally proven product. Personal gains of 4-5 pounds making sure i consumed no less than 3-4 litres daily of water. My new Creatine product.Goes Well With:Water, native 95 and a decent diet.
Great tasting especially the lemon flavour!! Goes down easily and gives you that extra push during your work out! A must have for them gains really feel the difference!!
Great taste tablets . Easy to use and effective to have whilst on the move for a busy lifestyle. In a pre packet per tablet makes it productive to take them to gym with you in you poker . Effective and efficient
I have a packet of Creatine Monohydrate powder at work but so as not to take it back home over the weekend the chewable tablets work a treat! great to take away on holiday also as they don't look as suspicious as a bag of white powder! Taste is also pretty good. Goes Well With:with water after
very easy to take even too :) i bought both flavors, the lemon is my favorite !
Great tablet for taking after workout with a protein shake! Great taste, no horrible creatine powder taste!
Was unsure if they really work. Previously tried powder version which made me feel sick at the gym and did not work - this however is a treat, good in taste and really provides that extra boost. Love it.Goes Well With:water
Very well done to My Potein created a fantastic product which is convent and tastes great. Makes getting your creatine intake that much easier and more efficient! Goes Well With:Anything
first time ive ordered from my protein and will be doing so again, great products and great delivery. tastes good and seems to be working so farGoes Well With:whey protein
I bought these being a bit wary of Creatine. I have used it in the past and it was always something I wasn't sure worked. Have to say these tablets are amazing. They taste great, a bit chalk like in texture but the lemon taste really helped. I can take them with me wherever I go and could evenly take them throughout the day when I was at work. I am gutted they are now out of stock, but shows how popular they are. Honestly recommend them but would say buy the bigger bag as I went through my 90 bag in under 2 weeks.Goes Well With:Whey Protein, BCAA
These tablets are really great they work just as well for me as normal creapure. The best thing is that you can carry them around in your gym bag and take them whenever with no drink needed so very helpfull and the lemon flavour is actually very good.Goes Well With:nothing needed.
I tried this with lemon flavour. It is a great taste Creatine products, simple to use and effective.
have been using the creatine chewy tabs for a week now. a really convenient way to get my creatine in. lemon tabs tastes like lemon very sour
Tastes quite nice, however the consistency soon after placing in the mouth becomes very crumbly.
Couldn't wait to give these a try and needless to say they taste great! 5 stars!!!!!
The berry flavor Creapure tablets taste unbelievable, only been using them for a few days will review again in few weeks.Goes Well With:Water
Not really chewy more like they dissolve in your mouth but thy do the job will be ordering more soon. A lot handier than having it in a shake as well.
Tried the Berry Blast flavour and they are really nice! Really convenient as I just keep these in my gym bag and have them on the go! I would say they are more like a hard/dissolvable mint than 'chewy'.

Clowe came off the bench to go after Shaw for his hit on Pavelski. Officials have ruled it was not a line change.
Clowe was deemed by officials to have come off bench for purposes of starting altercation with CHI's Andrew Shaw in final 10 seconds.
Clowe has been offered in-person hearing, which would allow NHL discretion to suspend 6 or more games if it chooses.
One option is auto 10-game suspension but that carries with it one-game suspension for head coach. McClellan coaching is coaching tonight.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Beating-heart cells derived from iPS cells are shown. A single DNA base-pair of the PRKAG2 gene was edited using the method developed by Drs. Miyaoka and Conklin. [Luke Judge/Gladstone Institutes]
Researchers at the Gladstone Institutes say they found a way to edit the human genome one letter at a time. They add that this finding will not only boost the ability to model human disease, but will also pave the way for improved gene therapy approaches.
Writing in Nature Methods, the team described hey how to efficiently and accurately capture rare genetic mutations that cause disease—as well as how to fix them.
"Advances in human genetics have led to the discovery of hundreds of genetic changes linked to disease, but until now we've lacked an efficient means of studying them," explained Gladstone's Bruce Conklin, M.D. "We must have the capability to engineer the human genome, one letter at a time, with tools that are efficient, robust, and accurate. And the method that we outline in our study does just that."
One of the major challenges preventing researchers from efficiently generating and studying these genetic diseases is that they can exist at frequencies as low as 1%, making the task of finding and studying them labor-intensive.
"For our method to work, we needed to find a way to identify a single mutation among hundreds of normal, healthy cells," added Gladstone research scientist Yuichiro Miyaoka, Ph.D., the paper's lead author. "So we designed a special fluorescent probe that would distinguish the mutated sequence from the original sequences. We were then able to sort through both sets of sequences and detect mutant cells—even when they made up as little one in every thousand cells. This is a level of sensitivity more than one hundred times greater than traditional methods."
"Genome engineering is faced with a logistical challenge: high-fidelity precise mutagenesis results in rarer mutagenic events, but isolating a rare mutant cell without antibiotic resistance is exceedingly difficult," wrote the investigators in their article ("Isolation of single-base genome-edited human iPScells without antibiotic selection"). "To help solve this problem, we developed a method that allows efficient detection of a mutation, sib-selection (originally a yeast cloning method) and isolation of rare, scarless clones with the desired mutation. We used the recently developed droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and adapted iPS cell growth conditions so that rare mutant clones can be isolated with unprecedented efficiency. We used our method to introduce disease-associated point mutations into five genes (PHOX2B, PKP2, RBM20, PRKAG2 and BAG3). For each gene, we designed a pair of TALE nucleases (TALENs) or a guide RNA (gRNA) to target sequences close to the desired mutation site and a 60-nucleotide (nt) single-stranded oligonucleotide DNA donor containing the mutation."
"Our method provides a novel way to capture and amplify specific mutations that are normally exceedingly rare," continued Dr. Conklin. "Our high-efficiency, high-fidelity method could very well be the basis for the next phase of human genetics research."

Montgomery County Register of Wills Bruce Hanes has jumped the gun with his recent decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Hanes, like any other elected official in Pennsylvania, is empowered to perform specific duties based on state laws.
And like it or not, Pennsylvania, since 1996, has restricted marriage to one man and one woman and declared same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries to be void.
But Hanes, who believes the state's law conflicts with "inherent rights" and "equality" guaranteed in state's Constitution, recently announced that he would issue licenses to same-sex couples "to come down on the right side of history and the law."
He initiated the practice shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane's announced that she would not defend the state's Marriage Law against an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit.
Last week, the state Department of Health, which processes and tracks marriage licenses, sued Hanes and asked Commonwealth Court for an injunction to keep him from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The state contends that the licenses he's issuing falsely indicate a recognition of marriage.
We urge Commonwealth Court to issue the injunction and allow this debate to continue through the state court system.
Hanes, by concluding that he can issue marriage licenses to same sex couples, is giving himself a judicial role, something the voters didn't authorize.
The law is still the law in Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Corbett said in addressing Hanes' action.
"It has not been overturned by any decision of the Supreme Court, nor any decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania," Corbett said. "Until such time a court overturns the law, it has to be enforced."
Hanes' action also sets a dangerous precedent in a state with 67 counties, each with the authority to issue marriage licenses.
Rather than weighing the pros and cons of following suit, we recommend counties and their elected officials wait for the state's court system to hear the legal arguments and reach a conclusion.
"Compliance with Pennsylvania law by its public officials is a mandatory obligation," the health department's lawsuit states. "Ours is a government of laws, not one of public officials exercising their will as they believe the law should be or will be."
We agree.

The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine, is one of the arts education institutions that draw people to Maine to study the skills that lead to creativity. Like the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Maine Media Workshops, Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, and Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship is a practical, hands-on school where novices and emerging talents learn from master artists and craftspeople.
Though the center is primarily devoted to functional furniture, its Messler Gallery currently (through February 4, 2011) is featuring Contemporary Maine Wood Sculpture, a museum-quality exhibition of works by 18 artists, some of whom have furniture and woodworking backgrounds, all of whom use carved and carpentered wood to purely expressive ends.
Contemporary Maine Wood Sculpture was curated by former Center for Maine Contemporary Art curator Bruce Brown; wood sculptor Steve Lindsay; and artist, furniture maker and gallerist Duane Paluska. Lindsay and Paluska represent the aesthetic poles of the exhibition, Lindsay being a traditional woodcarver, Paluska an artist who uses woodworking skills in fabricating abstractions. Lindsay shows an uncannily lifelike 15-inch high pine figure of a local man, while Paluska contributes a six-foot angle of wood that combines artistry and joinery.
Jeff Kellar, a former furniture maker, is represented by a minimalist wall sculpture in the form of two wooden Xs treated with clay and resin. Matt Hutton, who teaches furniture and woodworking at the Maine College of Art, makes the most elaborate use of wood craftsmanship in a walnut and milk paint creation entitled "Vestigial Landmark #2," which looks rather like the marriage of a shingled building with a piece of cabinetry.
Most of the other invitees are artists without (as far as I know) formal woodworking backgrounds. Anne Alexander carves fossil forms out of cedar, poplar, and mahogany. Cabot Lyford carves a torso out of black walnut. Barbara Andrus assembles structures of beech switches and jute in the naturalistic manner of Patrick Dougherty and Andy Goldsworthy. And Frederick Lynch and Charlie Hewitt construct wood sculptures that are 3-D manifestations of their paintings.
The level of technical finesse in the show ranges from the elegance of Tom Chapin's spiny wall sculpture "Frequency and Modulation" to the raw folk quality of Lin Lisberger's "Anchored: Hand Over Hand," a boat, ladder and knotted line piece of cherry, apple, and beech. But for sheer folk imagination it would be hard to beat Andy Rosen"s "psst," a fabled fox on stilts.
Contemporary Maine Wood Sculpture is a small show with a large mission – demonstrating and detailing the ways in which wood craft can become fine art.

Although the College does not have a specialized program for students with disabilities, Associate Dean of Students for Multicultural Affairs and Accessibility Services Allen Harrison coordinates individualized accommodations and support services for any student who has a documented need. Additionally, support is available to students through the Writing Center and Quantitative & Symbolic Reasoning Center.
Students seeking special arrangements due to a disability should provide a recent evaluation conducted by a specialist in the appropriate field. It should include a specific diagnosis, information regarding onset, longevity and severity of symptoms, and evidence of how the disability and/or related medications and treatments interfere or limit any major life activity (participation in the courses, programs and activities of the college), and recommended accommodations. This information can be sent to the College via the disability registration form and the disability certification form.
Dean Harrison will use the information provided and consult with faculty and qualified experts as needed to help the student develop a system of support--appropriate to his/her needs. Requests for academic adjustments should be made well in advance of the start of each semester (by July 1st for fall enrollment and January 1st for spring enrollment).
We recognize that students with temporary health issues due to injuries, surgery or short-term medical conditions may need access to additional on-campus services and resources. Examples of temporary medical conditions may include, but are not limited to broken limbs, hand injuries, concussions or short-term impairments following surgery or medical treatments.
Additionally, we consult with faculty in thinking creatively about solutions to assess problems manifested after an injury. It is our practice to present and discuss strategies and, where appropriate, to suggest reasonable flexibility in academic processes or time lines.
To receive accommodations for a temporary health issue, the student must submit recent documentation from a healthcare provider to the Dean of Students Office indicating the type of condition, severity, limitations, prognosis, and its estimated duration. It is also helpful to know any adverse side effects caused by medication and what accommodations are recommended. We may request additional documentation to verify the need for continued services after the estimated duration of the condition has expired.
The student should call the Dean of Students Office at 315.859.4021 to set-up an appointment with the associate dean of students for multicultural affairs and accessibility services. The meeting will consist of a review of the available documentation for the temporary medical condition and a discussion about possible accommodations and available resources. The associate dean of students will advise the student if any additional paperwork is required prior to setting up accommodations.
Academic accommodations are approved on a case-by-case basis. Accommodations for a temporary arm, hand, or upper extremity injury may include:
Students with temporary medical conditions must meet with the associate dean of students to discuss:
Typically the Campus Safety Office provides building-to-building transports for students with temporary medical conditions.
Students who have mobility concerns may inquire with the Office of Residential Life to be moved to a first floor room and/or to a room with accessible bathroom facilities (as space is available). Contact your resident advisor, area director or director of residential life to discuss availability and options.
Students may request consideration and adjustments to physical education courses due to temporary medical conditions without needing to register with the Dean of Students Office. Please contact Kerri Fagan, associate director, athletics, at 315.859.4753 or email@example.com to discuss needs.
The Dean of Students Office maintains two laptops and each has dual (Mac and Windows) operating systems. They are also equipped with Dragon Naturally Speaking software which converts speech to text. Please contact us to check on availability and to schedule an appointment to sign one out (includes signing a laptop loan agreement).
For more information on Accessibility Services at Hamilton College, contact Dean Harrison at email@example.com.
For more information about Accessibility Services contact Associate Dean of Students for Multicultural Affairs and Accessibility Services Allen Harrison at firstname.lastname@example.com
or 315-859-4021.
The Accessibility Services Team, which includes members of the Dean of Students Office, the Library, and Information and Technology Services (ITS), addresses reading and writing challenges faced by students with various learning differences and disabilities. Further information can be found at the Assistive Technology Resources page.
An awareness of federal law and College policies and procedures is an important component of our community effort to support students with disabilities. It is equally important for faculty members to facilitate accommodations. The Faculty Guide for Students with Disabilities is a useful resource for new and continuing faculty in working with students who have documented disabilities.

The westernmost of the islands accessible by local ferry from Dubrovnik is MLJET, a thin strip of land some 32km long and never more than 3km wide, running roughly parallel to the Pelješac peninsula. The most visited part of the island is the green and unspoilt west, where untouched Mediterranean forest and two saltwater lakes provide the focus of the Mljet National Park, an area of arcadian beauty within which lie the villages of Polače and Pomena. Despite the presence of a hotel in the village of Pomena, the region remains blissfully unspoiled, full of bicycle-pedalling trippers during the daytime, and romantically quiet and stressless at night.
According to legend, Odysseus holed up here for seven years with the nymph Calypso, and Mljet also has fair claim to being the island of Melita, where St Paul ran aground on his way to Italy and was bitten by a viper before he set sail again. (Mljet's snake problem was once so bad that a colony of mongooses had to be imported from India to get rid of them, and the fat-tailed creatures are still very much in evidence in the national park.) The Romans used the island as a place of exile, and it was briefly owned by the kings of Bosnia, who sold it to Dubrovnik in 1333. The republic sent an emissary on May 1 every year to rule the island for a year, and many of Dubrovnik's admirals built summer houses here.

I've been working with the Instructors in Training (IITs) on service learning projects of their own design throughout this summer. As future sailing instructors, the IITs need to know more than just environmental facts; it's also essential for them to practice their skills in facilitation, organization and leadership. We decided at the beginning of the summer that a multi-week project, rooted in environmental education, would encourage the development of these important skills.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to check in with the IITs about the progress of their CANdy project, where they were encouraging students to bring in redeemable cans and bottles for a candy prize (get it??). About 30 minutes into our work on the project, the group energy plummeted. It turns out that none of the IITs really supported the project, even though they developed it as a group and decided collectively to move forward. Project CANdy was subsequently canned.
During our debrief of this project, the students talked about how everyone harbored thoughts at the back of their mind about project feasibility, yet everyone voted in favor of the project. I posed the question: In another situation, perhaps with a child's safety in your hands, will you speak up even if no one else does? What do you say when your peers are silent? Even in our rather low-stakes environment, we found ourselves addressing real world questions around leadership and limits. I am so proud of the IITs for their insight into their process and our ensuring conversations around leadership, knowing our limitations and the power of our voices.
Because I won't let them off the hook that easily, we decided to move forward with a new project based in our learning from CANdy. I proposed a project that has been stewing in my brain all summer: a Courageous Sailing coloring book based on local Boston Harbor species. The IITs took the idea and ran (sailed?) with it. We did a storyboard, made a few prototypes and broke the work into manageable chunks for our class next week. I'm also proud of myself for releasing the idea to their creativity and letting go of what I had originally envisioned. What they have planned is so much better than what I had thought of and I can't wait for you to see it!

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Sharpness at 50mm
The sharpness tests for this review were carried out using a real-world subject rather than a test chart. The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens was attached to a Canon 5D Mark III body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Self-timer mode was activated. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.
The full frame at 50mm
Center sharpness is OK wide open at f/2.8, but nothing short of outstanding between f/4 and f/16. At f/22 sharpness across the frame is beginning to drop-off due to diffraction, but is still commendably high. The edges of the frame are excellent from f/5.6 to f/16, with f/22 again suffering from diffraction.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
It has been called the prettiest tree in Goose Creek.
Thats a phrase Bill and Carol Roach have been told by neighbors and passers-by and have been using themselves.
They planted a granddaddy grey beard, aka a fringe tree, in 1995. It has since grown about 30 feet wide and 30 feet tall.
It blooms for about two weeks in the middle of April as white fringes grow over green leaves.
At its location on the front yard of their Hunters Woods neighborhood residence, the tree can be seen from a distance from three different streets.
They dont normally get this big, Bill Roach said of the tree. People thank me for having it up in the morning and at night.
This year he put four flood lights under the tree so it stays lit from 8 p.m. until dawn.
A friend dug up the original seedling in the back of his mothers yard 18 years ago and gave it to the Roaches. Back then it was the size of a thumb.
When the blooms fall off, the tree is green and Roach takes the lights down until the fall, when the leaves turn a golden color.
It seems like its planted at a perfect place where it gets sun in the morning and afternoon, Roach said. Every day youll see more and more green.
With this years ice storm Roach was afraid the tree may not bloom.
It came in erratic this year, Roach said. It was only on one side for the first few days.
Seedlings fall off and grow into baby trees under the big tree. Some of these tiny trees have been placed in pots. The Roaches are also growing a much smaller granddaddy greybeard near the back of their driveway.
The shape of the tree is fantastic. It blots out the house.
Roach said he has taken pictures of it from every angle. Several people who drive by also stop to take their own photos.
Its just so pretty, Roach said. It really is. People ask me where you can buy them. There used to be a nursery in Summerville but they went out of business. I have no idea where you can buy them.
It looks like its glowing. It has a fragrance.
The tree is located at 100 Fox Chase Drive.

News for This Week
Will we have a third newly hatched osprey on the LG nest?
Sunday night is the New Moon (the dark moon) and an Annular Partial Solar Eclipse for those who can see it. Space.com full coverage, including maps and info.
Everyone have a great week!
Happy New Week to you too Diane, Annette, AQ and those who tend to come on during our night-time.
Will post some holiday pics later on - birds and the cottage we were in , right by a river with loads of birdlife.
HI all: Madly busy day in the garden; got a lot of things done that have been on the To Do list for months; then nice dinner, then chat with OH. Now watching Doc Martin.
Catching up now.
Brenda: We'll be celebrating three birthdays when family is here and probably not on the exact date for any of them, somewhat typical with our lot.
Lynette: Welcome home. Sounds like you saw a lot; hope the weather was good.
Diane: Thanks so much for starting us off - I seem to be out doing stuff all the time these days and not getting online until quite late. Thanks for the Roy Dennis update on Blue and Green et al!
patriciat: Part of the reason I'm in the garden is that it's already warm and I swear some of the plants grow a foot the minute my back is turned.
OG: Glad you enjoyed the not-quite-jazz concert. I've postponed some social stuff over this weekend to get things done around the house - but I am going on a tour of local historic sites tomorrow afternoon and will be back in time to watch the eclipse.
OK, must tie up some loose ends and head to bed. Take care everyone.
Morning all,
Diane : thanks for starting us off this week and for the latest lunar news.
Lynette : Glad you enjoyed your holiday and managed to get to Dyfi.
Everyone else thanks for the chat, doubt if I will have time to read back as there is so much going on with sightings and nest news at the moment.
Returned home after a good holiday in Wales. Weather was reasonable with most of the rain falling at night and 3 or 4 sunny days. The only problem was the cold, even on sunny days the temperature struggled to get into the low teens. On one or 2 mornings there was snow on the mountain tops especially around Snowdon. We visted Glaslyn a couple of times, once on the monday, a few hours after the 3rd chick hatched and again on the wednesday. Everything going really well there with all 3 chicks hatching within 4 days and looking good on the big screen, saw the male and the female and part of a feeding session. Other places of note we visited were Bodnant gardens and Penrhyn castle. Also went to RSPB Conwy where there were thousands of swifts feeding low over the lagoon, never seen so many. Here is the first pic. I have seen many jays in the past but this is the first at the cottage and the first I have managed to get a pic of:
ALAN glad you got some sun even if not much warmth. Brilliant pic of the Jay. Did Hamish go with you?
Morning all.
Here are the little chicks at Charing Cross :-)
PATRICIA just sent you a PM
Good morning all; am about halfway through the catch up, have to say am starting to feel sorry for the 'intruder' :(
Trish : Hamish was with us and enjoyed his holiday too. Back to the vets on tuesday for another blood test re thyroid.
Another first at the cottage although I did see them at Dyfi last year. A Redpoll:
Look at this little darling at Nottingham, it is growing so fast.
On this web page, you can view tonight's "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse from different sites around the world. Webcast times vary according to location. One is on top of Japan's Mt. Fuji.
Everyone have a good night!
Phew – HOT! Both been very busy in the garden to leave things right for going away – getting there slowly! I also did ironing. Quick trip to G Centre (but with lunch) tomorrow for more compost – my last "outing" until another concert next Friday – so will be able to wash my clothes ready to pack!
Diane – thanks for starting our new week.
Annette – I hope you enjoy your historic sites tour this afternoon.
Alan – welcome back! Glad to see you enjoyed the holiday despite being so cold. That photo of the Jay is very good - and lovely to see a Red Poll. Pleased Hamish enjoyed the holiday too, and I hope Lady P was not in too much pain.
Sandra – I see Chubby in Nottingham is getting real feathers now!
Must stop – nearly the time Daughter suggested we might get to talk and arrange to see her next Sunday – been leaving messages for each other all day!!
Another pic from the cottage. A Nuthatch:
Alan You picture of the nuthatch is wonderful. The background is so artistic.

Tips to Reduce Distracted Driving
Jo is a Virginia native who spent a couple of years writing for Crutchfield's car A/V team, covering a variety of products including speakers and subwoofers.
More from Jo Greene
As advancing technology lets us do more with our time in the car, driver distraction is a growing concern. At Crutchfield, we want to help you use and enjoy the fun car audio/video gear we sell. And we want you to stay safe while using it on the go.
In this article, we've compiled a list of common-sense tips to help manage distractions while you're on the road. First, let's talk more about the issue of distraction.
What is distracted driving?
In simple terms, distracted driving is multi-tasking behind the wheel. On the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) distracted driving website (distraction.gov), they define distracted driving as any non-driving activity a person engages in while operating a motor vehicle.
According to the NHTSA, there are three types of distraction:
- Visual — taking your eyes off the road.
- Manual — taking your hands off the wheel.
- Cognitive — taking your mind off what you are doing.
You know that heart pounding moment when you swerve to stay on the road or avoid a collision? Safety experts say that multi-tasking while driving causes slower reaction times, and increases your chances of getting into a collision. A 2008 study done at Carnegie Mellon University used brain imaging to show how multi-tasking in the car impairs essential cognitive processes, so less of the brain is available to focus on the primary task of driving.
Hands-free talking can help
Drivers talking or texting on a cell phone is currently an important issue for many local lawmakers because it involves all three kinds of distraction (visual, manual, and cognitive). This makes cell phone conversations and use among the most distracting behaviors people engage in behind the wheel. Many states have enacted laws requiring headsets or hands-free technology — see our article Understanding Cell Phone Laws to find out more.
Using a hands-free device gives you a boost in safety, but it doesn't completely eliminate all distractions associated with talking on a cell phone while driving. National Safety Council (NSC) studies reveal that hands-free drivers are still less likely to notice exits, red lights, stop signs, and other cues relevant to driving. So, you'll be able to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, but there's still a level of cognitive distraction involved.
Tips to help reduce distraction
Although it may not be possible to avoid every distraction completely, these strategies can help you minimize sources of distraction:
Before you roll
- Set essential controls: Before you back out of your parking spot, queue up the playlist you want to hear, set climate controls to a comfortable level, and program any destinations into your GPS.
- Review your route: When you're headed for an unfamiliar destination, review your directions and study your route ahead of time. Use Google Map's Street View to get a 3D look at your destination, so you'll have a mental picture to help you find your address.
- Secure your pets: Keep your furry friends out of harm's way in a well ventilated crate or carrier, secured preferably in the backseat or hatchback. This way, you won't be tempted to feed or pet them while driving, and they'll stay protected in case of a collision.
- Manage your time: Rushing tends to promote distraction, road rage, and taking unnecessary risks. Whenever possible, leave a few minutes early so you can arrive at your destination stress-free.
- Prep at home: Get ready for work before getting in your car. Putting on deodorant, makeup, and shaving are much easier and safer when done in your own bathroom.
On the road
- Drive thru, pull over: When you grab food on the go, take ten minutes to park and eat. You can use the time to check your messages, return some calls, or read the paper.
- GPS adjustments: If you get lost, turned around, or need to make major changes to your route, find a safe place to pull off the road.
- The buddy system: An adult passenger riding next to you can share your awareness of the driving situation, and actually reduce the risk of collision, according to the NSC. Make it a habit to stick with light conversation topics — a heated discussion can actually pull your attention away from the road.
- Save it for later: Suspend phone conversations in heavy traffic and bad weather, even if you're using handsfree talking. You need your full attention on the road to anticipate and react to hazardous road conditions.
- Spacing out: If you feel like your mind is wandering to some problem at work or at home, pull off the road and write it down or make a phone call. On long drives, take breaks to rest your eyes.
In the classroom
- Take a refresher: Defensive driving classes, offered online or in-person, can teach you helpful safe-driving strategies and improve your awareness on the road. Some insurance companies even offer discounts to policyholders who complete courses.
C Bakewell from CharlottesvillePosted on 8/30/2015 1:58:11 PM
Hands-free is as dangerous as handheld. Studies show that conversations on either are just as distracting. Handheld adds the physical impediment but that is different from the mental impairment.

text: Women's Soccer Drops First Game of the Season August 31, 2013 The Stetson women's soccer team dropped its first match of the 2013 season on Friday night. Senior Victoria Troccoli made five saves as the Hatters lost by a score of 2-0 to Florida International. After tying with Embry-Riddle and defeating Troy on opening weekend, Stetson played host to FIU in its only game of the second week of action. Beginning after the Hatter men, approximately scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start, the two teams didn't get going until 9:10 p.m. due to overtime and a weather delay. Outshooting the Hatters 5-0 in the first frame, the Panthers got on the board in the 23rd minute. Kim Lopez assisted on an Ashleigh Shim goal to make it 1-0 in favor of FIU midway through the first half. Stetson picked things up in the second half, creating a number of opportunities to score, firing off five shots, and garnering two corner kicks in the period. "I thought we competed really well," Head Coach Manoj Khettry said. "After the first half, we got our legs underneath us, and our confidence. The second half was fantastic soccer. We played to feet and we created chances. "I told [the team] there are no moral victories," Khettry continued. "I want us to come out and compete as well as we did in the second half for 90 minutes. I think if we do that, we're going to be a very good team." A late hand ball in the box gave FIU a penalty kick with just under three minutes to play in the game. Madlen Weinhardt was able to beat Troccoli to the lower left corner and ultimately put the contest away for the Panthers. Troccoli finished with a game high five saves, the most for the senior this season, including a punch over the cross bar late in the match that saved a sure goal by FIU. Stetson, now 1-1-1 on the season, will be off for a week before its next game. The Hatters travel to Georgia Southern on Friday, September 6 to take on the Eagles at 7:00 p.m.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

An alien monster in the Showa Godzilla series of movies. Gigan was a cyborg made by a race of giant cockroaches from Nebula Spacehunter M. He traveled to earth in a crystal which exploded when he got to Earth. He came to Earth to destroy Tokyo but got his butt kicked by Godzilla and Angurius. In the movie that followed he got his butt kicked by the incredibly silly Jet Jaguar, so he never really died. A rarity when you get your butt kicked by Godzilla, just look at what happened to Mothra, the first Anguirus, Ebriah, etc. He sported a buzzsaw fixed in his chest, (which he made good use of) hook claws, and a forehead laser which was never used in either movie.
Gigan screeched, stomped, and shot his eye laser at Godzilla.

The Lowcountry recorded double-digit home sales growth in October, despite fears that the federal government shutdown could hold up purchases, according to a report released Monday.
October home sales by county
Charleston County
A total 566 homes sold at a median price of $288,147. West Ashley, outside Interstate 526, was the most active area during the month with 80 sales at a median price of $197,219.
Berkeley County
A total of 227 homes sold at a median price of $171,090. The most active area in the county was the area bordered by Jedburg Road, Highway 17A and College Park, with 60 sales at a median price of $160,915.
Dorchester County
A total of 188 homes sold at a median price of $162,500. The most active area was Summerville/Ridgeville, where 80 homes sold at a median price of $163,750.
Source: Charleston Trident Association of Realtors
The Charleston Trident Association of Realtors reported 1,020 homes sold at a median price of $190,000 in October. That's up nearly 11 percent from the 920 homes sold at a median price of $185,000 in the region in October 2012, according to preliminary figures.
A total of 10,897 homes exchanged hands at a median price of $203,947 in the first 10 months of the year. Sales volume is up 23 percent, and the median price has increased by 8.5 percent compared to the same span in 2012, according to the report.
Real estate experts have said this year's strong sales have been driven by low mortgage rates, pent-up demand and lower home prices compared to their pre-recession levels.
Some housing experts also predicted that October could result in a slowdown in home sales due to the two-week federal government shutdown. Mortgage lenders depend on government agencies such as Social Security Administration for verifying mortgage application information.
"As we expected, we didn't see much, if any impact from the government shutdown during October," said Owen Tyler, president of the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors. "Sales progressed at a normal pace and any transactions that were delayed by the temporary shutdown have likely closed."
Area Realtors like Ann Whalen, broker-in-charge of Coldwell Banker United Realtors in Mount Pleasant, said low interest rates continue to push buyers to the closing table.
"We're seeing serious buyers," she said. "It's not a lot people just coming in to look, but most are coming in to buy."
Tyler also cautioned that rising flood insurance rates is one issue that could impact area home sales.
Flood insurance rates are poised to grow for homeowners in the Lowcountry, especially when some homes are sold.
The rate increases are the result of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2012. The law was crafted to overhaul the debt-laden National Flood Insurance Program. The reforms include new flood maps, and they also eliminate subsidies for policies and rate increases that average 10 percent.
The law also erases any subsidies on a flood insurance policy when the property is sold.
"This has affected the ability to buy and/or sell some properties classified as high risk, since the premiums on some properties increased significantly," Tyler said.
As of late September, there were nearly 104,000 flood insurance policies in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties.
There's currently legislation in Congress to delay parts of the Biggert-Waters law. One of the legislation's details would allow subsidized rates to be transferred when a home in sold.
The Realtor association also adjusted its September home sales slightly to reflect 1,133 homes sold at a median price of $209,000.

DailyTech reported yesterday on GM's announcement that it had found a buyer for the Hummer brand of heavy utility vehicles. The mystery buyer promised to take on the brand and help expand its international presence. In the process it saved a number of jobs at Hummer plants and helped GM complete a major step toward moving out of bankruptcy.
Now the identity of the mystery buyer has been revealed. Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd., a Chinese industrial firm, will be purchasing the brand and attempting to revive it.
States Yang Yi, chief executive of Tengzhong, "We plan to ... allow Hummer to innovate and grow in exciting new ways under the leadership and continuity of its current management team."
He did, however, hint at changes stating that the deal "will allow Hummer to better meet demand for new products such as more fuel-efficient vehicles in the U.S."
The companies hope to have the deal finalized by September. The deal does not concern the military Hummer technology owned by defense contractor AM General, which licensed the brand name to GM for civilian vehicle purposes. AM General will now, in turn, license the name to Sichuan Tengzhong, which will continue the civilian Hummer development.

When James Wheeler Brewer proposed to his wife, he made an unusual promise, to do all of the cooking.
It seemed like a reasonable expectation since all the while they were dating, he'd cook Sunday dinners for her family.
He was a better cook than her mother, says Beth Son Brewer.
But as it turned out, Brewer got jobs doing shift work and much of the cooking fell to her anyway.
The cook
"It became a running joke," she says. Still, he made a lasting impression on the family with his culinary skills.
She and the children came to expect his chicken and rice for Thanksgiving dinner and the day before Christmas.
He was also appreciated for his Frogmore stew.
"When our oldest children got married, he cooked it (Frogmore stew) for the pastor and the ladies that helped us serve," she says.
Cooking, tinkering in his shed, listening to the Gaithers and helping found two rescue squads are things people will remember about him.
Brewer was born Nov. 9, 1937, and died July 23.
His wife says he cooked by taste, sampling as he went along and adjusting the seasonings until he got the dish perfect.
"It was like a pinch here and a pinch there. He really couldn't tell you how much. It was his taste."
At work, Brewer, a shop steward at Charleston Paper Mill (Mead Westvaco) would cook for those with whom he worked.
"He'd fix it here (at home) and take it to work," she says. "He always loved lima beans from scratch ... with ham hocks or ham and whatever his pinches were."
He helped to organize the Berkeley County Volunteer Rescue Squad, and would cook for them as well.
"He really enjoyed helping people," his wife says.
There were dramatic moments in his rescue service: Once they were passing through Walterboro taking their children, who were very young, on vacation to Florida.
"He picked up a call because we were close by. Some kids were going 100 miles an hour and hit a tree. We had to stay on the scene until the paramedics came. He helped save a girl's life and the city of Walterboro gave him a letter of commendation."
The tinkerer
He hated to throw anything away, hence the tinkering, she says.
He always thought he could fix it.
"He was always working on things," Beth Brewer says.
Their daughter, Cindy, will miss spending time helping her father in his shed.
"I was more or less his assistant as he would come up with creative ways of fixing things or making things work," Cindy Brewer says.
He made little rubber gaskets for chair legs because sliders would still scar up the wooden floors. He put new switches on lamps.
He would grind a screwdriver down into an awl for pre-drilling a hole in PVC so the drill bit would not walk off the tubing.
That's the kind of thing he did all the time, Cindy Brewer says.
"It's really helped me a lot as an elementary school music teacher," says Brewer, who teaches at Boulder Bluff Elementary School in Goose Creek. "You have to fix instruments and sometimes they don't sell the parts anymore.
Over the last few years he'd been repairing the string art boats his father made for the family, Cindy Brewer says.
The technique involves creating a design by stringing threads between nails affixed to a wooden background.
"He had started working on the ones for my sister to pass down. Now, it's fallen to me to complete that."

Much like General Sherman's march to the sea in the Civil War, the sport of lacrosse has come a long way on its mission of invading the South.
The growth of the sport has taken off in the last few years, mainly in the South and especially in the state of Florida. The sport has grown by leaps and bounds to the point that the high school state championship program is comprised of more than 70 schools.
That growth has now continued its upward trend with the addition of women's lacrosse at Jacksonville University and Florida, along with the first Division I men's program in the state at JU.
I have to admit, what little I know of lacrosse is due to watching the men's Final Four on television. This may come off as blasphemy, but I have never seen a game live, with the extent of what my eyes have witnessed is 30 minutes of a women's camp this summer.
So, here's what I've heard about this lacrosse:
- It's the fastest game on grass. I can see this in what little I've seen. It takes the precision of basketball plays, along with the physicality of football and the stamina of soccer.
- There's a major difference between the men's and women's game. That is very evident as well, which I like. Unlike basketball and soccer where the game is the same, the difference between men's and women's game is evident. The women's game is finesse and teamwork, rewarding the teams that push the action and stay aggressive. The men's game is gritty, hard nosed and physical. That's from what little I've seen.
With some of the common perceptions about the sport being held true thus far, how is it going to be accepted in region where it is truly a foreign sport?
Before we look at lacrosse, I think it's important to look at some other sports that have attempted to invade the South and take some of the luster off of King Football.
Soccer, while it is big in the little leagues, has never really taken off past that level. Hockey, the hot sport of the 1990s when the NHL expanded deep into the South, has seen the luster taken away as several of the Southern teams have experienced problems.
What gives lacrosse a chance?
To me, the sport has one thing that soccer and hockey don't provide – scoring. The casual sports fan in the South is built with the short attention span – usually around 40 seconds (long enough for a football play), so lots of scoring is important. On the men's side, throw in the physicality and its going to be a hot ticket. On the women's side, the amount of movement and the rapid scoring opportunities give it a chance as well.
It's an exciting time in the South to see this sport take root and begin its growth. Welcome to the South lacrosse. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Ok, so that is REALLY creepy. I tried it 5 times in disbelief and right every time!ReplyDelete
Really creepyyyy.... but t only got me the first time. Then the next two times, it was wrong. Numerology really freaks me out, though!ReplyDelete
That is weird! Every single time I tried it (at least 5 or 6 times!) it got it right! Never wrong! That's when I stopped and thought I'd see if someone knows the "trick!" Now, I did see that the numbers and symbols change each time you "try again." What's up with that? Someone figure it out!ReplyDelete
No matter what you do, if you do it right you will end up with a multiple of 9. When you look at the symbols, 9, 18, etc will always be the same and the answer will be one of those.ReplyDelete
Stephanie, Thanks for your comments and for adding me to your blogroll! My husband and I figured that whenever you add a two digit number together and subtract it from the original number you get a multiple of 9 and we noticed that even thought the symbols changed they were always the same for all the multiples of 9 (9, 18 27 etc...) Thanks for a the mind challenge. :)ReplyDelete
I am SOOOO glad the trick's been revealed! I've done these before, and I couldn't figure it out, and that REALLY bothers me!ReplyDelete
Yes! I am going to try playing with it... thank you! I knew there had to be SOME way to figure it out!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you guys figured it out, Stuff like that kind of make my skin crawl!ReplyDelete

Much is being written about the preposterously high cost of college. The median inflation-adjusted household income fell by 7 percent between 2006 and 2011, while the average real tuition at public four-year colleges increased by over 18 percent. College tuition has increased at twice the rate of health care costs over the past 25 years.
Ballooning student debt, an impending college bubble, and a return on the bachelor's degree that is flat or falling — all these things scream out for entrepreneurial solutions.
One idea gaining currency is the $10,000 college degree — the so-called 10K-B.A. — which apparently was inspired by a challenge to educators from Bill Gates, and has recently led to efforts to make it a reality by governors in Texas, Florida and Wisconsin.
Most 10K-B.A. proposals rethink the costliest part of higher education — traditional classroom teaching. This means a reliance on online and distance-learning alternatives. Predictably, this has stimulated antibodies to unconventional modes of learning.
University of Phoenix®College Degrees for the Real World. Online and Campus. Start Anytime. Phoenix.edu
As Darryl Tippens, provost of Pepperdine University, put it, "No PowerPoint presentation or elegant online lecture can make up for the surprise, the frisson, the spontaneous give-and-take of a spirited, open-ended dialogue with another person." And what happens when you excise those frissons? In the words of the president of one university faculty association, "You're going to be awarding degrees that are worthless to people."
I disagree. I possess a 10K-B.A., which I got in 1994. And it was the most important intellectual and career move I ever made.
After high school, I spent an unedifying year in college. Next came what my parents affectionately called my "gap decade," during which I made my living as a musician. By my late 20s I was ready to return to school. But I was living in Spain, had a thin bank account, and no desire for a mountain of student loans.
Fortunately, there was a solution — an institution called Thomas Edison State College in Trenton, N.J. This is a virtual college with no residence requirements. It banks credits acquired through inexpensive correspondence courses from any accredited college or university in America.
I took classes by mail from the University of Washington, the University of Wyoming, and other schools with the lowest-priced correspondence courses I could find. My degree required the same number of credits and type of classes that any student at a traditional university would take. I took the same exams as in-person students. But I never met a teacher, and to this day have never laid eyes on my beloved alma mater.
And the whole degree cost me about $10,000 in today's dollars.
Back in the United States, I followed the 10K-B.A. with a 5K-M.A. at a local university while working full time, and then endured the standard penury of being a full-time doctoral fellow in a residential Ph.D. program. The final tally for a guy in his 30s supporting a family: three degrees, zero debt.
Did I earn a worthless degree? Hardly. My undergraduate years may have been bereft of frissons, but I wound up as a tenured professor at Syracuse University. I now am president of a Washington research organization.
Not surprisingly, my college experience has occasionally been the target of ridicule. It is true that I am no Harvard Man. But my 10K-B.A. is what made higher education possible for me, and it changed the course of my life. More people should have this opportunity, in a society that is suffering from falling economic and social mobility.
The 10K-B.A. is exactly the kind of innovation we would expect in an industry that is showing every indication of a bubble that is about to burst, as Thomas K. Lindsay of the Texas Public Policy Foundation shows in a new report titled, "Anatomy of a Revolution? The Rise of the $10,000 Bachelor's Degree." When tuition skyrockets and returns on education stagnate, we can expect a flight to value, especially by people who have no choice but to make a cost-effective college investment.
In the end, however, the case for the 10K-B.A. is primarily moral, not financial. The entrepreneurs who see a way for millions to go to college affordably are the ones who understand the American dream.
