If there is such a thing as a genetic predisposition for painting, the Blair family has it.
For anyone following the artistic output of Western New York in the 20th century, the name of Robert Noel Blair will strike a loud and insistent chord. His eclectic work, which sometimes looks strikingly similar to that of his friend Charles Burchfield and sometimes like the mad sweeps of Gerhard Richter, has been a fixture on the local art scene for many decades.
Others may be familiar with the work of his son, Bruce, who himself paints in an uncommon variety of styles.
And there is also the work of Jeannette Blair, widow of Robert, whose watercolors were the focus of an exhibition in the Benjaman Gallery in June.
These three prolific members of the Blair family will be the focus of an exhibition opening tonight, also in the Benjaman Gallery, 419 Elmwood Ave. The show, which includes nature photography by Arizona-based David Blair, highlights the divergent styles that emerged from a single artistic family.
"I thought it would be an interesting way to look at two generations of artists who have been living and working in Buffalo, each capturing some of the same scenes in different ways," said the gallery's Emily Winslow Johnson.
"Each of them has such a wide range in painting really representational things in traditional colors, all the way to really wild abstractions with bright colors and sort of surrealist elements."
Because the Blairs often drew from similar sources – say, a field near the family home in Holland – viewers will have a rare opportunity to compare and contrast each artist's approach to the same subject.
"Each artist did a really interesting study of the Grand Canyon. Bruce has sort of a pointillist technique that he used, and Robert did it in a really abstract way with bright, bold colors, and Jeanette did a very representational, soft view of the Grand Canyon ... Each of them is viewing the same scene in a different way," Johnson said.
The exhibition focuses mainly on the Blairs' abstract work, where styles range from Jeanette Blair's expressionistic watercolors to Bruce Blair's oil and paper collages. But it also includes representational work from all of the Blairs, whose collective impulse to paint will be on full display in this exhibition.
For Bruce Blair, who still lives and paints in Western New York, the family's penchant for painting emerged from a desire to be free from the constraints of the 9-to-5 world. It was that same need to be free, he suggested, that encouraged each member of the family to develop a unique style.
"My parents were free to do what they wanted to do, and they didn't have to conform to anybody else's standards.
"I liked the freedom, as far as that goes, to do what I wanted to do and not have a boss, and pretty much be a free spirit," Blair said.
"My dad rode a motorcycle 'til he was 83. His influence on me as far as his freedom in his art was inspiring. He didn't do a lot of teaching, but he was very encouraging. Because I wanted to go on my own. I tried to stay away from his strong styles and find my own."

A woman who survived nearly 13 hours in the rubble of a collapsed building in Philadelphia but lost both of her legs has sued the Salvation Army, whose store she was in at the time, demolition contractors and others.
An adjacent building being demolished collapsed on the thrift store in June, killing six and injuring 13 others. A demolition subcontractor is charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Lawsuits over the collapse are on hold amid a criminal investigation, but a lawyer for the woman, Mariya Plekan, wants to preserve her testimony because of the gravity of her injuries and the delay expected before trial.
Lawyer Andrew Stern said Plekan, 52, also suffered organ damage and remains hospitalized, but he said her mind is sound.
A spokeswoman said the Alexandria, Va.,-based Salvation Army has no immediate comment.

MARTINSBURG - On Nov. 3, the Jefferson County Izaak Walton League of America organized a tree planting with trees supplied by the West Virginia Project CommuniTree. Members of the Jefferson County IWLA, along with the Cacapon Institute, West Virginia Division of Forestry and U.S. Coast Guard, planted 12 trees, consisting of oak, maple and sycamore, along the W.Va. 9 bike path. These trees will provide shade to those utilizing the bike path and help manage stormwater runoff to control soil erosion for decades to come. Over the next five years the Jefferson County IWLA has agreed to become stewards to these trees to give them the best chance to survive and flourish.

SALEM, Ore. (AP -- Gov. John Kitzhaber is downplaying problems that have plagued Cover Oregon, the state's health insurance exchange.
The governor said Friday the state should be judged on whether people who want insurance are able to sign up, not whether the website works.
State officials urged people seeking insurance to fill out a paper form, which will have to be processed by hand. The paper-based enrollment process will take weeks.
The online enrollment was supposed to simplify the process, allowing people to complete the process in as little as an hour. But the software has been unable to accurately determine whether some people are eligible for tax credits or public assistance.
As a result, nobody has been able to enroll in health insurance through Oregon's exchange.
There is no timetable for when the website will be fully operational.
News release from the governor's office:
Governor Kitzhaber Announces Additional Efforts to Boost Health Care Coverage by January 1
Urges Oregonians to submit application for coverage by December 15
Portland, Ore. -- Gov. John Kitzhaber joined with leaders from the Oregon Health Authority and Cover Oregon Friday to announce expanded efforts to boost enrollment in health insurance plans by January 1.
Along with Lix Baxter, Board Chair of Cover Oregon, and Dr. Bruce Goldberg, Director of the Oregon Health Authority, the governor outlined expanded state resources for ensuring Oregonians can sign up for health insurance benefits that start January 1.
"This is about more than a website," said Governor Kitzhaber. "This is about making sure that every Oregonian who wants health insurance coverage is able to get it."
While acknowledging challenges associated with signing up for health insurance through Cover Oregon, the governor reinforced that Oregonians have affordable and quality choices available to them through the health insurance exchange.
To ensure Oregonians are able to sign up for benefits, the governor has asked the Oregon Health Authority, the Oregon Insurance Division, and the Department of Administrative Services to help process paper applications.
"As Cover Oregon works to get online enrollment up and running, we are adding new sign-up options and more resources so that Oregonians get the insurance they want and need," Kitzhaber said. "Together with the insurance agents and community partners who are really stepping up, we are going to do whatever it takes to get this done for Oregonians."
The Governor also called on OHA to increase outreach to people eligible for fast-track enrollment to the Oregon Health Plan. Dr. Bruce Goldberg described the outreach strategies for reaching people eligible for coverage.
"We will make sure that everyone who has the Oregon Health Plan fast-track option knows about it," Goldberg said. "So far, we've signed up 70,000 people through the fast-track option, the equivalent of more than 10 percent of Oregon's uninsured rate, which frees up capacity so staff can process other applications quickly and accurately."
Liz Baxter discussed how people seeking coverage can access and submit an application.
Howard "Rocky" King, executive director of Cover Oregon, said, "The Cover Oregon technical team is working hard to make sure the site works for everyone. In the meantime, we have a system in place to enroll all Oregonians who want coverage.
"We know many Oregonians have been waiting months or even years for health insurance, and we'll do whatever it takes to make sure everyone who applies by December 15 has coverage beginning January 1."

The kids have private swimming lessons this week. It's one of those parenting things that I feel like I should have done way long ago and am finally getting around to, kind of like dental appointments and changing the sheets. If you drive thirty minutes inland it almost feels like summer... almost! The kids say the pool is super warm, though.
On the beautiful and winding drive today I had some very deep thoughts about life and bookmarks and moving on and moving bookmarks. It all was really great in my head, maybe a little Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and anyway what's important is that I get it.
And as of today I can no longer say that I've never been stung by a bee in my whole life. Ouch.

Usually when one company offers to buy another company, it offers a premium on the current stock price and the stock price jumps up pretty close to the offered price. The difference in the current price and the buyout price, that "pretty close" number, includes a variety of factors. Those factors include the risk that the deal won't be approved by regulators or shareholders, the time value of money (a deal that will close tomorrow has less of a discount versus a deal to close in a year), or a whole host of other factors. The shareholders that held the stock before wind of this pending offer are generally happy since their shares will appreciate more than they expected. Some investors consider buying the stock because there still is a little bit of difference between the current share price and the offered price. It seems like a sure thing right? Wrong.
When Bank of America offered to buy Countrywide Financial, it offered absolutely no premium. It offered $7.16 a share on January 11th. Shares of Countrywide are only trading at $4.27 right now… why not snap up shares of CFC at $4.27 and pick up what appears to be a nice healthy premium for your money? You might not want to do that because Countrywide is going to be investigated by the FBI [3]. Woah! That wasn't in the list of "factors" I listed above and that's because it's not something you typically associate with a buy out! If the FBI finds something bad, Bank of America can still back out.
As Ron Popeil would say, but wait there's more… let's say you heard about the Microsoft offer of cash and stock for Yahoo, pricing each share at around $31. Let's say you decided to snatch up a few shares of Yahoo on the buy-out offer because you wanted to make a few bucks and because you thought the buy-out made sense. Then Yahoo tried to find additional suitors to increase the sale price only to find out no one else was truly interested. In the interim, Yahoo and Microsoft stock prices fell so the original offer wasn't as high, a scenario not mentioned in the list. The underlying offer, since it was pegged to an asset whose value changed, changed as time passed!
So, if you hear of a buy-out and are considering to snatch up some "sure thing" money, think twice. There are a lot of factors and scenarios out there that you may not be taking into account. The market has figured it out and that's why there's a difference in the first place. 🙂

Rally For Impact is our corporate social responsibility commitment to mobilize citizen engineers, serve our communities and protect the planet.
Mobilize Citizen Engineers
We have a bold vision to mobilize "citizen engineers" to solve the world's toughest problems. Leveraging Rally's Agile software solutions and the expertise of Rally Software users and Agile coaches, we can accelerate the growth and adoption of citizen engineering projects to benefit communities around the world.
The focus of our strategic social impact initiative is inspired by the book, Citizen Engineer, in which the authors define citizen engineers as "the connection point between science and society -- between pure knowledge and how it is used. Citizen engineers are techno-responsible, environmentally responsible, economically responsible, socially responsible participants in the engineering community."
The Rally For Impact Foundation is dedicated to enabling the engineers of the planet to apply their skills and expertise for positive social change.
Serve Our Communities
Our social mission is grounded in making a positive impact in the communities where Rally employees live and work. Our culture of giving encourages employees to spend 1% of their paid time volunteering, as well as giving back to their community on their personal time. As a result, Rally employees have contributed nearly 16,000 volunteer hours since 2006. We actively embrace the community around us by participating in and hosting events focusing on social enterprise, entrepreneurism, technology and sustainability.
Rally has worked with innovative social impact organizations such as Rocky Mountain Microfinance Institute, where employee volunteers provide Agile coaching, training, business planning and team facilitation. Our employee experts also have offered "Act Like An Agilist" courses to social entrepreneurs at the Unreasonable Institute and Impact HUB Boulder.
Protect the Planet
Environmental sustainability is more than a company initiative at Rally: it's a way of living. Our office facilities focus on reduced waste through reusables, bulk purchases over single use, recycling and composting, where available. Purchasing of supplies considers the source and content of materials. We are continuously striving for improved energy efficiency and reducing the impact of employee commuting.
Our office headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, which employs 60% of our staff, has partnered with internationally-recognized nonprofit Ecocycle to become a Zero Waste facility. The Boulder and Denver offices have a large bike-to-work population and we offer all Colorado employees a company-paid Eco-pass for public transportation.

Although Brody Jenner skipped stepsister Kim Kardashian's over-the-top nuptials to Kanye West, the Hills alum managed to make it to another wedding – that of Kardashian's ex-boyfriend, Reggie Bush.
Jenner attended the July 12 ceremony, when the Detroit Lions player wed fiancée Lilit Avagyan at the Grand Del Mar San Diego. "Congrats @reggiebush !!! #bushwedding," the reality star posted on Instagram with a pic of the bride and groom.
Jenner was happy to share in the excitement of Bush's big day, but when it came to Kardashian and West's European ceremony, he opted to stay stateside to DJ a gig in Chicago. Meanwhile, his brother Brandon, sister-in-law Leah, dad Bruce Jenner and half sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner all headed to Paris.
But a source close to the family says his invite to Bush's wedding wasn't a slight to Kardashian.
"Reggie and Brody have always been friends so he was invited to the wedding," the source tells PEOPLE. "He was of course invited to Kim's wedding but because of work scheduled in advance he made the decision not to attend. There was no bad blood, no feud. Not everyone can make it to every family event."

This was the best tasting protein I've ever tried, the casein content meant I could have it in the morning or before bed to give me a steady protein source until my next meal and the whey gave a quick boost for a post workout shake. I was so gutted when I was told it's been discontinued, it looks like I'm not the only one!
I like this product its nice and simple, slow and fast digesting protein. I have had choc,strawberry and vanilla and all are perfectly acceptable. Myprotein do us a favour and get your unique products like this back in stock asap, any old supplement company can sell plain concentrate and isolate etc. Unique blends like this are what make a company stand out from the others.Goes Well With:Training
Your best product by far. Works out roughly 50% whey and 50% casein, ideal for anyone at any time. Taste, mixability etc all spot on. Get it back in!!
Good taste, makes a thick shake. Brings great quality for the price. Bought 5kg strawberry creme was positively surprised so I bought it again. Got sick of it half way through, but I guess 10kg of any protein with the same taste is too much xD Goes Well With:water or milk, instant oats
Been using this stuff for a while now so I will give it a second review. Mixes great in shaker with the ball no lumps or bits The chocolate smooth tastes great. MPC and WPI combination is a winner in my books and total milk and whey will be my staple protein powder. Myprotein service and price is gives this product excellent value as a lot of there stuff does. As for gains, well that's a combination of diet and a solid training routine.Goes Well With:Whole milk, semi skimmed milk, and water.
Been using this product for about 3 weeks got the mint chocolate flavour which is not the nicest tasting thing in the world but I didn't expect much for a protein shake. Mixes pretty well however. I will definitely buy more as it really helps with my recovery period as I exercise and workout a lot! Maybe try a different flavour thoughGoes Well With:Water and creatine monohydrate
This protein powder is now my No1 choice. Being a long time wpi user this makes a great change. Given that 20% of the protein in Milk Protein Concentrate this powder works out at close to 50/50 casein/whey. Similar to human milk. I aint to bothered about the slightly slower digesting protein in it and I think you're worrying too much if this concerns you after a workout. You won't die lol. Also the taste is much nicer than straight whey and mixes smooth. With milk tastes just....MILKY. Is fine with water too. Plus the casein fills you up longer compared to wpi which can run through a bit. Finally price is dirt cheap when compared with any other 86% protein powders out there. Unflavoured means it's an all natural product with no sweetners etc.Goes Well With:Semi skimmed milk
I bought the 2500g mint chocolate, I have only mixed it with water but it tastes pretty good and mixes really well. I originally bought this just to increase my protein intake as I struggle to get enough into my diet. Found this really helps the recovery from exercise. I have 1 serving 15 mins before working out and 1 serving 15 minutes after working out. Really good product I'm looking to add a couple of pounds so maybe I will try a weight gainer next time.
Results are good, although I suspect it is responsible for some digestive distress. Taste (strawberries and cream) and consistency are pleasant when mixed but around half of the time some of the powder will remain stuck at the bottom no matter how hard you shake.Goes Well With:Water and presumably milk.
I always look forward to my vanilla shake, I really don't know why some people are complaining. This stuff seems effective, the only downside is that there always seems to be a little of it in the bottom which I can't mix in without having to resort to using cutlery to break it up, which isn't great when you're on the go. Other than that I'd highly recommend.Goes Well With:Water, haven't tried it with any other liquid. Have no problem mixing other things in with it (i.e. Creatine Gluconate and D Aspartic Acid--the bitter flavour grows on you).
i normally buy true whey and casein separate and mix the two together but got fed up with that . So i thought i will buy it already mixed , so i gave this stuff a go and so far good. I bought the chocolate smooth flavor a little bit sickly tasting but i can deal with that . Mixes very well in one of those shakers with a ball which was surprising as some reviews say it doesn't mix well. As for effectiveness it seems to help with muscle recovery better then just pure whey . Slow and fast protein for the WIN. Goes Well With:Milk
Excellent product, mixes really well, tastes good.
excellent flavor...excellent product...easy to mix...good amount of protein...low amount of fat plus carbohydrates...5 *
iv ordered this product because of its price and high concentration of protein in a serving, but unfortunately the powder does not dissolve completely and gives me stomach problems every time i have it after my workouts. Because of an offer i have ordered a 2,2kg and really regret that decision now. ps i am not lactose intolerant i have made another order, whey protein isolate, hope it will be better because i do really like the customer service and quick postage of MyProtein
I ordered this product recently, delivery was very fast and parcel arrived in perfect condition. I think it is a great product because of milk protein and whey protein mixture which provides for slow absorption and fast absorption protein. I chose the unflavoured version of the product(I would love if there would be flavoured version but sweetened with stevia). I definately recommend the product, I have been taking for a few days, and I noticed better recovery after strenuous workouts. I will order again soon. Thank you Myprotein. Regards, Nicolae
Great product! Giving it an overall 4 star rating, because it doesn't taste as nice as the Myprotein Impact Whey.
Tastes good mixes really well good value for money
Took a chance and went in for 2.5kg of chocolate mint flavour, received next day as always same 1hr slot as always very good delivery partner with DPD. Anyway to the flavour I am seriously impressed I love mint matchmakers but they are chocolate so not good for you but with this I can taste mint matchmakers everyday with this protein. Seriously happy.
Well what I can say I been using all the protein powders since 8 years thus the worst when it comes to mixability,makes so much foam over all chocolate taste is good
Bought Vanilla and Chocolate Mint flavoured powders. Some complain the taste of Vanilla but the taste is excellent compared to Chocolate Mint. Perhaps Vanilla is best ones I have tasted. Vanilla goes well with frozen strawberries. Just don't add too much water; mix water and powder to make porridge -type desert.
I've been a customer of MP for some time now and I've tried so many different powders and flavours. This total milk and whey I bought vanilla and I can honestly say it's the best flavour I've ever tasted in any brand of protein shakes. Mixes with no lumps at all and tastes exactly like the mcdonalds vanilla milkshake when you leave it to go thin! The nutritional values per scoop are very good too and overall I don't think you'll find a better value for money powder on the market that tastes this great. I don't comment on results because it's all down to you and your training. Train hard, supplement with this stuff along with BCAA 1500, Mega omega fish oil, creatine mono hydrate and your well on your way. Well done MPGoes Well With:Water or milk. Stack with the above mentioned and pulse for pre workout.
THE STUFF IS GOOD BUT THE VANILLA TASTE IS HORRIBLE, LIKE A MEDICINE... DO NOT BUY THE VANILLA TASTEGoes Well With:WATER OR MILK
Only taken it for 2 weeks so far but very nice taste, by far the nicest one I have had so far. Haven't seen great results as of yet but to excessive eating of chocolate etc over Christmas but am hopeful. Goes Well With:I take it with water but imagine mixing with milk would be nice.
Great price ,chocolate flavour tastes amazing, and it's very easily mixable.
Great tasting, mixes fantastically and highly nutritional.Goes Well With:MyProtein Creatine Monohydrate
Perfect supplement for inthe morning, get some fast acting and slow digesting protein flushed round the system, but also great after a workout and before bed if you want. Tastes great with milk (i have chocolate) and tastes pretty standard with water.Goes Well With:Combine with creatine and will work wonders
Using this instead of the basic whey protein I bought the first time. It doesn't mix quite as well, but it's basically fine. I use it with 500ml of milk so I get 500 calories and 40g of protein per serving. I find it's a bit heavier than the whey, but I seem to be putting on mass steadily, and getting stronger, so hopefully a good proportion of it is muscle. Using 3 a day with 3 meals. 1 post workout 1 post meal and 1 before bed. Works well. Goes Well With:Milk / Water.
I got the unflavoured one. It is a great non sweet taste, surprising at first as I am used to the overly sweet flavours of most protein shakes, but I got used to the flavour quickly. Very creamy so is great with water, I have never liked other protein shakes without using half milk and half water, but this one is great with just water. Would recommend.Goes Well With:Mixed half and half with a chocolate protein shake, makes it milky and sweet.
The product was fairly priced, arrived earlier than I expected, has a great taste and it's really easy to mix. The only way I could've been more impressed was if I'd have had two for the price of one! 10/10!!Goes Well With:Skimmed milk and 2 raw egg whites per 50g serving.
This is the first time I have used MP and have to say was really impressed with how quickly my order was processed! This is a nice tasting product (I ordered vanilla) and mixes really well, no lumps or bits! The only thing I would say is to only mix with 150-200ml of water! 300ml as suggested is far too watery! I also mixed this with some oats and worked really well! I am also beginning to see the affects after 10 days although its early days at the moment to give a true rating on this!Goes Well With:Oats
If your after a sold protein source this hits the spot and at great value for money as well. If your diet is dialed in adding Total Milk fills any gaps when you need to get your daily protein in. As a more mature bodybuilder I have noticed more solid gains since taking Total Milk. Will be staying with this product for next while. Goes Well With:BCAA
Unfortunately the Total Milk and Whey is the worst mix ever for me. I found that the powder sticks to the blender and to my teeth so it doesn't feel like you are drinking. I also couldn't tell you what flavour I got, because there is no taste, and this is my least favourite product from MyProtein.
Great tasting product, only been using for one week so can't comment really on effectiveness. Great delivery speed, cant fault. Goes Well With:oats
Been consuming different types of whey protein for a while and decided to mix things up. This protein was not a good idea. Tastes nice (chocolate smooth) but is very grainy when mixed in a mixer bottle (with milk) Coming from Whey (impact & isolate) I was very shocked at how bad this mixed with milk or water. Possibly could mix better in a blender with added fruits and powders etc.. but to be honest I wont be ordering this again to try. The best idea is if you are going to try this to order the 30G single sachets can be found.
Choc mint tastes good. However, it could mix a bit better in my opinion. Overall good results and it is pretty filling too. Goes Well With:Water
I've tried numerous proteins over my time training. I definitely love vanilla flavour, it's by far the truest flavour to taste out of all the flavours. It's not artificial at all and tastes gorgeous! I usually bought impact whey protein but decided to try this out, I liked the sound of the mix of fast and slow release proteins. I do notice that it keeps me a little fuller than the basic whey on its own. I mix my 30-40g scoop of protein with 50-60g Myprotein oats and about 10g ground almonds with s/skimmed milk and it's a cheap, easy and nutritious meal replacement shake to supplement my daily meals. The protein and oats, lasts me about a month and a half, it's ideal!Goes Well With:Alpha Men and Omega 3
Total Milk and Whey is a good product with a nice taste! You could easily add it to many food stuffs. The only issue I find with this product is if you add too much to your shake when you're feeling like an extra dose, for example to keep you going before your next meal, it becomes quite stodgy, sticky and maybe a little slimy. It's not a bad product though.
I can't recommend Total Milk and Whey enough, okay so it may be a bit gritty (come on, if you can handle a good workout, you can handle a bit of texture) but it mixes lump free easily and the strawberry and cream flavour is the bomb. I would recommend mixing it with milk. It has a nice protein level with low calories and fat, and the bonus is you don't need to buy a separate casein bedtime product as this powder has that covered. Though the price may seem a bit steep, when you accept that you basically have two products in one (slow and quick release), it's not so bad.Goes Well With:any other supplement
I'm a little disappointed with this Total Milk and Whey. It's grainy, doesn't go well with water and it's hard to swallow. Taste is fine, plenty if mint! I won't be going for this one again. Goes Well With:Patience
This Total Milk and Whey blend is perfect the 60/40 casein to whey split is effective if like me you like a small workout before bed, gives you the protein overnight and helps increase size dramatically, plus it tastes delicious! Careful if stacking with creatine or glutamine, tastes weird but that's probably due to the milk. With water stacking is fine. I got vanilla and can't rate it highly enough, I have had the actual casein protein off here and that does not mix well and tastes chalky this is awesome, buy this! Goes Well With:Milk
Total Milk and Whey is a great product.
The Total Milk and Whey is brilliant, one of the only powders I've actually seen some gains with. I use it 3 times a day: morning noon and evening, get a hit of protein after drinking it then a slow release from then on. Would definitely recommend.Goes Well With:Hard training and good diet.
This is an excellent product and I have recommended it to many people.I would like to buy a great deal more of it but the price is a little high.Goes Well With:Banana,ice cream, apples
"So im struggling to understand why everyone is bothered about the taste of this product as it is for purely nutritional purposes anyway, I don't see why it should taste amazing, but whilst im on the subject it tastes fine both with water & milk completely palatable & when stirred first & shaken afterwards blends nicely & is smooth & easy to drink. I am still waiting a few more weeks to see if I notice any difference in strength & size ill let you all know ASAP :D Overall V.good product.. "
a good protein blend slow and fast absorbed protein can also be taken before bed i also add egg whites which gives medium release of protein shame about the price when you can get 5kg nutrisport 90+ for £44 with free delivery
"This is the second protein supplement that Ive used and the straweberry cream flavour tastes great. I was looking for a simple, nothing-but protein suppliment and this one workes great for me. Ive only been using it for about a month and it seems to be helping my muscles build and recover very well"
Started using this after a lengthy spell without using any protein product. I found that it mixes ok it goes a little frothy in the shaker but you can still drink it fine regardless. I had the Strawberry and Cream flavour which tasted great. As for results i am very happy with what i achieved whilst using this product. I have now started on the impact whey isolate to continue with lean mass development.
Mixes fine. a bit of a powdery tast but that is to be expected with the milk protein. Chocolate flavour could do with a touch more cocoa powder.
"Previously I had just been using Impact Whey which mixed great and worked fine. I decided to purchase Total Milk and Whey for my next batch and I find it just isn't as good in mix-ability and taste, even with shaking for a good 5 minutes it remains gritty in texture. I am yet to notice the effects but I'm sure it will be similar to Impact Whey but better with the addition of the slow release Milk protein. Of course, the protein source is more important than taste, but next time I shall go back to Impact Whey."
"I have been impressed with this product, have the vanilla. Taste is pretty good, best with milk imo. Does foam a bit with shaking but settles fairly quick and don't loose any of the shake."

Prosecutors released investigative documents Thursday that identify names of formerly secret witnesses.
The police reports now feature red boxes identifying witnesses related to the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Several witnesses are neighbors who live in close proximity to where the shooting happened.
Another witness is the girlfriend of Martin's father, with whom Trayvon was staying on Feb. 26 -- the night of the shooting.

Newtown shooter killed victims within five minutes
March 28, 2013
NEW HAVEN, Conn....
The NRA denied that either family member were members of the NRA four (4) days ago. The NRA does issue certificates suitable for framing or at least they used to back in 1980 when I received one. What is being termed an NRA certificate has not been discussed in enough detail in the media to determine if the media is making a bs point about junk mail or not.

I take back my last comment on the 10mm and 40cal. The 10mm apparently is longer and carrys more powder.

Most people when they talk pistols wouldn't say a 10mm pistol they would say a 40 caliber pistol. Also note in talking pistols an Automatic is actually a semi-automatic.

Poorly written article: It says there was another loaded handgun and three 30-round magazines - are you saying the magazines were loaded or not? A shotgun in the passenger side of the car cannot contain 70 rounds of ammo. I believe you are trying to say 70 shotgun shells were found by police in the car.

The principal attempted to grab the shooter to stop him. She could have prevented anyone from dying if she had access to a gun. With only the shooter dead, this story would never have been reported, just like the other school incidents that shooters were stopped by law abiding gun owners. Never heard of them did you.
Adam Lanza broke many laws: He kills his mother, steals her guns, transports these guns loaded, breaks into the school, brings guns onto school property, discharges the weapons within city limits, murders 26 people, and commits suicide. And there are people in this country that think passing another gun-control law would somehow protect us from someone like this. Using this tragedy for political purposes is despicable. Law abiding citizens should not be punished for the acts of criminals and the seriously mentally ill, who need close supervision and treatment.

"Awww, that's cute you are upset he wasn't experienced and maybe he should have shot the faces of what, 30 6 year old children? "
If you think people are this way, maybe you should stay away from everyone so you yourself don't get hurt and begin to seek mental help. Nothing short of banning all firearms and a "police state" to oversee it will stop these kinds of violent crimes.

I personally would first grieve my child (or grandchild) in private with my friends and family, and realize that nothing I can do to bring that child back. After I had time to evaluate the situation I would have placed the blame squerely where the blame was do, on the killer, who is now dead so justice was served. Than I'd begin to ask whatever happened to virtue and respect in this country and understand that certain things are out of my control.

callie--> not being condensending here, but you know what they the say about if and buts. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and being human we always want to try to help or avoid a future incident. But unless we're all willing to live in a "police state" we will never resolve these type of problems. While these are horrendious crimes, fortunately they are a fraction of a percent of the violent crimes in the u.s. As Ben Franklin said: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Oh - one other thing. A handgun can be fired faster than an AR-15, so all this nonsense about 'assault' weapons is BS.

The NRA doesn't issue 'certificates'. More likely, it was a membership sign-up card. The AR-15 was found in the trunk of his car and not used. A more expansive article said the shotgun was found in the glove compartment. Right. This is all a load of crap perpetuated by dimwitted liberals who are trying to control the population and have to make stuff up because they want to scare them into compliance.

One second to remove a clip, find a new one, insert it and chamber? Written like someone who has never fired a gun, much less one who is excited at the carnage he is wreaking on little bodies.

Even to this day I feel horrible for this slaying. I pray this never happens to another person or family, but unfortunately it seems it's happening more and more. Just makes me re-consider working and just staying home to home school my children. God bless those families and anyone who has been injured or killed in something so ruthless.

Well, now hold on...the autopsy reports stated that all were killed with a handgun with hollow tip bullets. Now the Bushmaster has jumped out of the trunk of the car again?

An experienced shooter takes less than 1 second to change a clip. So if he had practiced and had 10 round clips it would take ~2 seconds more to fire off thirty rounds. Please don't buy into the hype.

The 2009-10 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating continues this week in Moscow, Russia with the Rostelecom Cup. More...
This is not quite true. They competed in the Russia Cup in Perm and Samara and won both events in dominating fashion. You can see their skates from the Russia Cup in Perm on YT. Their FS is particularly impressive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIdelTyw7MYLittle is known about the progress of the 2007 Junior World silver medalists, but an invitation to this event speaks volumes about their federation's confidence in them as a team. As such, Bazarova and Larionov are the dark horses in this event, and could surprise everyone with a medal winning performance in their home country.
They scored 57.14 in the SP, 113.36 in the LP and 170.50 overall. They did 3FTh, 3LoTh, 2A+2A, 3Twist and a 3T (in both programs, but Vera had a hand down in the LP and a messy landing in the SP). If they skate like they did in Perm, I agree that they can certainly contend for a medal. Their time off has especially improved him, now he looks elegant enough to match her. They have certainly proven themselves worthy of the assignment.

I am most excited to see Plushenko back in the competition.
Good luck to all the skaters!
Wow, JR has Czisny behind Wagner, Leonova, McCorkel and Sebestyen.
I hope he is wrong.
I think Kozuka will beat Plushenko and Weir will finish ahead of Mroz.
Just as Rippon pleasantly surprised us making the podium at TEB, I look for Mroz to do the same in Russia. USA needs to look to the future and in men's skating that means Rippon and Mroz.
On the other hand I think Alissa is overdue for a good skate and will win a medal next weekend. She has the talent and if she can keep it together she can make the podium.
Plushy has looked very rough to me so far and like Joubert, if he doesn't land most of his jumps he may find himself off the podium. But I wouldn't be surprised in he skates well considering his abilty to rise to the occassion at competitions.
Go Alissa, Go Brandon. And let's hope Johnny is happy with his costume.
Ouch. That's harsh. I think she'll at least be able to beat those last two skaters! She's woefully inconsistent, but still capable of beating people even with several mistakes.Wow, JR has Czisny behind Wagner, Leonova, McCorkel and Sebestyen.

Russian Cups are a series of figure skating competitions. There's usually 4 over the fall season and the final in the spring. Usually the big name skaters either don't do them or just do one event. It's a good launching pad for junior skaters - for example, Elena Ilinkyh/Nikita Katsalapov won the Russia Cup Final in Junior Dance last year, and this year they won two JGP events; Adelina Sotnikova won the event in Moscow last year, and then won Senior and Junior Nationals. It's a great place to discover new talents; and it's a good place for higher profile skaters to receive feedback. Also, IIRC, you qualify for Nationals if you place well enough (I might be totally wrong on this one - a Russian poster might correct me as my Russian is pretty darn poor :o).
B/L didn't have much competiton at either event, but I imagine they wanted to compete as much as they could before Rostelecom Cup.
I love both I/M and B/L, but B/L just a bit more. I love, love, love the second lift - it's gorgeous and goes along with the music perfectly. I think that was a really good performance for them considering they haven't competed in a long time. It really builds throughout the performance.

I read this article ealier, and thus far this Elvin Walker (btw I truly do enjoy his articles & analyses) has only got one prediction right, that of the Ladies at TEB. The other three disciplines he was totally off.
So we shall see how close he comes to his predictions at COR. Will he once again predict the exact outcome of the Ladies? or will he strike out in all the disciplines? Only time will tell...
Where is that crystal ball.
The problem is that the Russia Cup events are not international events and the rest of the world get's very little info from these I believe what JR was trying to say was that little is known on the "international" progress of this team in terms of where they stand against the rest of the competitors.This is not quite true. They competed in the Russia Cup in Perm and Samara and won both events in dominating fashion.
Thanks for the preview, In the ladies Miki Ando's program looks awesome and Nikolai seems to have prepared her well just like he did with Shizuka in 2005/06. The favourite for me, but watch out for Alena Leonova she has so much confidence at the moment and I think will get the silver, Asada (well, either up and down at the moment and like TEB somewhere in between). I wouldn't be surprised if she dumps the LP after the grand prize, she should go with something more lyrical!!. Asada will re-group in time for the grand prix final and Nationals. Alissa Czisny is the dark horse, she is the best of the americans and her mask of zorro SP is already the package to score 60+.
Ladies picks:
1) Ando
2) Leonova
3) Asada
4) Czisny
Sadly, Alissa Czisny is not the dark horse, but the Trojan horse of US Figure Skating.
I think Rublev/Shefer will be considerably higher than the GS prediction. They were marked way too low in the CD at TEB last week; it was rather a scandal in Russian quarters, as judges placed them behind Gorshkova/Butikov. I think they will be 2nd or 3rd here.

MACON, Ga. – Senior JJ Bostic of the Stetson men's soccer team received All-Atlantic Sun Conference Second Team accolades for his performance during the 2013 season, as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.
This marks the 17th straight season that the Stetson men's soccer program has placed at least one player onto the postseason all-conference team, dating back all the way to the 1997 campaign. It is the first time, however, in which Bostic has earned postseason honors from the league.
Bostic led the Stetson defense as a center back all season long, helping the Hatters earn three shutouts on the season. The senior played the most minutes of anyone on the team, logging 1,536 over the course of 16 matches.
Always dangerous going forward and in the air, Bostic added two goals and one assist in his final season with the Hatters. He was third on the team in goals scored and fourth on the squad with a total of five points.
Lipscomb's Omar Djabi was named A-Sun Player of the Year, while ETSU's Nate Hodges earned Defensive Player of the Year honors. Ryan Coulter, also of ETSU, picked up Goalkeeper of the Year accolades, Isaiah Madrid of FGCU was named Freshman of the Year, and Lipscomb's Charles Morrow was tabbed Coach of the Year.

(A Letter to the Editor in the July 18, 2006, Tomahawk Leader)
To the Editor,
Let me just start by saying that since my husband and I have moved to Tomahawk and started our family, we have really loved it here. This community is welcoming, generous, caring and a great place to live and raise a family.
My only problem is how it takes so long to cross the streets here in town. I have two children and we love to go for walks and to go bike riding. The problem is whenever we need to cross a street at an intersection it takes forever. I can recall many times when I watched my watch to see how long it was taking for someone to stop for us and sometimes it took as long as 15 minutes. This is of course on a busy summer day. By my standards that is just way too long to have to wait.
So when the Downtown Business Council and other sponsors purchased and put out the Stop for Pedestrians signs I was really excited. Finally, something to remind people of their surroundings and not to mention the law.
It's now been a few weeks since the signs have been put out and I'm happy to say that when my family walks downtown on main street things seems to be getting better. However, on 4th Street I have not seen a change. In fact since the signs have been in place I have personally timed a mother with her three children have to wait nine minutes for someone to stop for her and when they stopped three cars just blew around them and didn't stop. So it took over 10 minutes for her to get across.
In just the last week, I tried to cross at an intersection with a green sign with my children and not only did many vehicles go past me but also a Tomahawk Police Officer. Isn't it the police officers' job to be a good example for all in following the law? It is the pedestrian's right-of-way and why are the police not enforcing the law. I just don't understand. Have we gotten so busy in our lives that we can't take 2 minutes out of our day to stop for a mother and her children, a bicycle, an elderly man or anyone else for that matter? I think these signs were a great purchase and a wonderful idea. However, if the police department doesn't stand behind them then what is the point?
Thank you,
Rachel Rowell and family

Mojo means your influence, confidence or personal charisma. It was originally a slang term from the US associated with the music and dance culture, but has entered the English as well as the American language and is being used more widely. It has also taken on an additional meaning of personal confidence and charisma with regard to sexual relationships. The word Mojo itself probably derives from African-American language where it refers to a personal talisman or witchcraft charm, and is itself derived from the word Moco used by the Gullah people meaning witchcraft. The word First received widespread exposure in the 1957 recording of the song Got My Mojo Working by Muddy Waters.

Derogative term created by white washed Americanized Mexicans in the DFW area for Mexican nationals who appear tacky and dirty. "MOJO" is short for mojado, meaning wetback in Spanish.

That often elusive quality that sets a person apart from everyone else. The word "magic" could, almost without exception, replace "mojo" in all of its contexts, sentences, and/or applications.

Local, state and federal officials gathered in Tiffin Thursday to tour a local business which recently went through a $1.6 million expansion and plans to add jobs to the area.
Fred Zoeller, president of Laminate Technologies, said the business had an open house to showcase the 28,000-square-foot expansion, which increases the business by 30 percent and adds equipment for a focus on the store fixture market.
"We're making an investment in Tiffin and the community," he said.

Laminate Technologies Quality Control Manager Roland Klein (left) talks to U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, (center) and State Sen. Dave Burke, R-Marysville, during an open house Tuesday.
Zoeller said he hopes to add a minimum of 20 jobs to handle the equipment used in the new line.
"This is more labor intensive than some of the other things we've done. It requires more master craftsmen," he said.
Ground was broken for the project in the spring and Zoeller said the occupancy permit was issued last Tuesday.
In attendance Thursday was State Rep. Rex Damschroder, R-Fremont; State. Sen. Dave Burke, R-Marysville; U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana; Tiffin City Councilman Jim Roberts; and Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz. Zoeller said their support showed government and business working together.
Montz said he also was happy to see the political representation the event attracted, saying he feels Lam Tech is helping put Tiffin on the map as an economic leader.
"The fact that all of these high-ranking politicos came shows that Tiffin really has it going on," he said.
Montz said it was "just very exciting" to see the manufacturer expand and bring more jobs to the area. During a city council meeting Tuesday, he praised expansion by Lam Tech and other local businesses, potentially bringing 300 additional jobs within the next 12 months.

Halloween 2012: Our last pumpkin patch trip as a family?
By Kevin Hunsperger
@kevinhunsperger & @my12cents on Twitter
I knew this day would come. After all, when I was in 7th, I made it my last year to go trick or treating until I was a senior and high school and it was somehow "cool" again. But our two oldest kids, ages 13 and 12 have opted out of Halloween fun this year. Kinda.
Our oldest (8th grade) will be marching with the junior high and high school marching band in our small town's Halloween parade. Traditionally, students wear some kind of Halloween garb as they make their way down the street playing haunting tunes before the official start of trick or treating. Our 12 year old, who is in 7th grade, didn't trick or treat last year, after we bought him a $50 costume because he made the basketball team and had a tournament that night.
Pumpkin Patch 2013
I can accept that our sons are too old to trick or treat. But recently I announced that I'd be heading to the pumpkin patch with their little sister (age 8), and was told by the boys they had no interest in going. Going to the pumpkin patch has become one my favorite fall past times, and this was the first year that we didn't do it as a family. My daughter and I made it a Daddy-Daughter Day and picked out a variety of gourds. My hope is that when we start carving them up later this week, the boys will want to be in on the design work, but I'm not holding my breath.
Pumpkin Patch 2005
I think my daughter knew I was missing the boys being out there with us and when we got into the car and started driving home she said, "Don't worry Daddy, I'll always come to the pumpkin patch with you." It melted my heart and made me feel about 10 feet tall, but in the back of my mind I knew instantly that her sentiments will eventually change too. It's all a part of growing up I suppose.
I'm still a big kid at heart. I love decorating the house for Halloween. I love dressing up in a costume. I love taking the kids trick or treating.
Pumpkin patch 2009
I'm the same about Christmas. It killed me when the boys finally figured things out and stopped believing. They've kept the legend of Santa alive for their sister, who I know is just a year or two away from figuring it out for herself too, but that's a blog for another day.
Long story short, I know we all get older. Kids don't find the things cool they did when they were little now that they're teenagers. Blah, blah, blah. It's a part of life, but I don't have to like it. I just hope their memories of the pumpkin patches, the jack-o-lanterns, and costumes stick with them like they've stuck with me. Okay, pity party over, time for a candy apple.

4 Pieces of Relationship Advice Movies Need to Stop Giving
#2. Being in a Healthy Relationship Means Not Changing Yourself at All
The Thing: "Damn, my relationships keep failing for eerily similar reasons. Whelp, I'm forced to conclude that whatever shortcomings every previous ex hated just adds to my charm: I will change nothing and learn nothing, and just wait around for someone who will love every last shitty thing I do."
Worst Offenders:(500) Days of Summer, How I Met Your Mother.
You've met people who believe this. Everyone has odd, often endearing little quirks, and strange habits ("I need to sleep on the RIGHT side of the bed" or "I'm very particular about the way I order food"). And everyone also has flaws ("I'm a dick"). These people see no difference between the two. To them, saying, "I want a guy who will love me even though I'm late all the time, and even though I snore in bed" is exactly the same as saying, "I want a guy who will love me even though I'm unreliable, emotionally unavailable, and romantically disconnected, and even though I snore when I'm awake." They're from the school of thought that believes everyone is perfect all the time, and no one needs to work on anything. A school of thought funded by Hollywood.
And here's your Dean.
How I Met Your Mother is a show about how awesome Neil Patrick Harris is, but there's also a recurring sub plot about a guy named Ted Mosby who, no matter how many of his relationships fail for very valid reasons, is convinced that he'll make just the perfect husband (as soon as there's a woman smart and cool enough to ignore all of the valid reasons to break up with him). In a sentence, (500) Days of Summer is about a guy who invents a girlfriend in his head and then gets mad when his actual girlfriend doesn't conform to his expectations.
Also this happens.
In more sentences, the main character in Summer is a guy who is ready to meet his dream girl and then does, in the form of Summer (Zooey Deschanel, obviously). She likes the same music that he likes, and even though she explicitly tells him early in the film that she doesn't believe in love and hates the idea of being someone's girlfriend, she likes the same music that he likes so he concludes that they'll be perfect together. He's so excited about the idea of dating someone interesting that he never actually gets around to totally investing in or understanding his girlfriend. He's already fallen in love with Summer because he's a guy who falls in love a lot, and that's what he'll be, always, forever. They date for a while, and it's good for a while, and then they break up, obviously, because dating someone solely because they like the same shitty music that you like is never the best plan.
And there's an opportunity for our protagonist to learn something. He can realize, "Hey, maybe I'm wrong because I moved too fast too soon, or I expected too much based on my own idea of what a girlfriend should be, or because I based our entire relationship on superficial similarities." But none of that happens. Instead, the movie ends with him meeting a new girl. He falls in love with her because she's pretty, and because they both like the same building, or something, (which frankly seems like an even shakier foundation for a relationship than liking the same band). Similarly, How I Met Your Mother puts our protagonist through relationship after relationship, and instead of growing or changing with each relationship, he holds out hope that he's already the "right guy" for someone else, so all he needs to do is coast.
"I'm sure handling my next relationship in the exact same way I handled my last one won't be a problem."
I actually love both this movie and this show because they're realistic (no one ever really does learn anything), but as far as pushing bad lessons on romantic guy morons, they're both very guilty. The basic moral is "Learn no lessons from past relationships: If something didn't work out, it wasn't 'meant to be,' so just wait around for someone who does conform to all of your preset expectations." Whenever a character in a movie has flaws that are objectively detrimental, the movie will never teach us to, hey, maybe work on those flaws; the movie says, "No, you're fine, everyone else is wrong, just wait around for the PERFECT GIRL WHO WILL SOLVE AND ACCEPT EVERYTHING. Because relationships are easy and require absolutely no work, compromise, or self-awareness."
And sure, eventually someone will come along that DOES love all of the weirdest and quirkiest aspects of your personality, but assuming that all you need to do is sit around and imagine him/her is wrong. That attitude is just going to breed generation after generation of lazy people. Eventually, you'll get two people in a room together who were both raised on pop culture, both of them assuming that the other will accept and love all of their flaws, neither of them budging. And what happens then?
It could be worse, I guess. Hollywood could be teaching the opposite lesson and telling everyone that...
#1. Being in a Healthy Relationship Means Changing Yourself Completely
The Thing: "Look, Baby, I know you were mad at me because you hated all of my friends, and the way I dressed, and my apartment, and everything else I've ever cultivated throughout my entire life that has contributed to my personality, but I want you to know that I've gotten rid of all of that. For you!"
"Oh, Darling. That's all I ever wanted! You had me at 'I'm a different person now.'"
Worst Offenders:Knocked Up, and basically any movie starring either a Wilson brother or a Heigl.
These movies take a good lesson, (being in a relationship sometimes means compromise, empathy, and growing the shit up), and taking it to the extreme, (by completely transforming yourself into the person your girlfriend/boyfriend actually wants to date). To get the girl in Knocked Up, the main character moves, gets a new job, and reduces ties with his old friends, and while there's something undeniably romantic about going to great lengths to please and impress the person you're in love with, it is in no way a healthy move. Because, eventually, he'll miss hid old life, the one he abruptly gave up to impress his girlfriend after they got in a fight. He'll miss the life that he loved and enjoyed, and he'll miss all of his friends and, eventually, he'll resent his girlfriend turned wife turned inevitable ex-wife, because she's the one who made him give it all up.
No one enters a relationship as the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend. There are always necessary adjustments, but Hollywood is sucking that message in and repackaging it, saying "If you really care about someone, you'll respect that she would only like you if you were a completely different person, and you'll adjust accordingly." It's why Seth Rogen will become a new person over and over again, and it's why all of those whatshisnames will do all of those life-changing things to impress Drew Barrymore in those movies I've never actually seen. And, when people do it in real life, it's why couples break up, or get divorced.
Just once I'd like to see a Hollywood movie about two well-adjusted, intelligent characters who have a mature relationship based on trust and mutual respect. They run into some problems, but they work through them together, because they're reasonable and they care about each other.
Actually that movie sounds boring as shit. I change my mind: keep doing what you're doing, Hollywood. Maybe throw in a few more robots punching other robots.
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked.com's Senior Writer (ladies), and he's still watching The New Girl despite his rage, (Zooey Deschanel).
