Interesting. Squash is another one my stomach doesn't really like. Thought it would be easier than potatoes / yams but nope.
[QUOTE=Zach;1221645]I like any medicinal plant thats been used for hundreds of years.[/QUOTE]
Oh really is that a good indication that it works? :P I just remember that the stuff my nanny brought me also had juice and sugar in it and at the time I was still scared to death of something like that. I will try to find the liquid first and if that's not possibly I will try caps.
Also, on a somewhat maybe related note, I just started my cycle (5 days early) so that could account for much of the discomfort I've been feeling these past few days in the bloat department. Stupid female hormones ruining [i]everything![/i]
Totally, if you females could just stop bleeding all the time, youd be all set.
I don't trust anything that bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die.
But in all sherioushness, it really is very difficult to tell what is making you bloat when sometimes it just turns out to be your period. Extra difficulty when you aren't regular.
[QUOTE=CiKi90;1221746]That's why I take seasonelle -- I only bleed 4x per year (usually) [/quote]
Some people take hormonal BC with great success but I'm not one of them :/
[Quote]Also, have you thought about the aloe Vera anymore?[/QUOTE]
Yeah I mentioned above that I'm going to look for the juice first and if I can't find that I'll try caps :)
Ooooooom, Whole foods will have the juice.
Oh wow that happened to a friend of mine - apparently it's a mightily excruciating experience which I guess you can attest to. I'm glad that the BC takes care of it, though.
The caps are really that concentrated huh? Ok I will buy those.
Zaaaaaaach, we don have wholefoods in my town, thank god (I would be broke) but I have a supplement store by me that is bound to have one form or another... Else they're all over Seattle so I could just get it there.
Thanks for the protip! I'll head over there this weekend.
My main complaints were extreme BO (I could smell myself immediately after getting out of the shower!), shedding, oh, and that my cycle was never regular again despite being regular from the first day I got it at age 13.
Haha, that face does not look like a happy one... How did you prepare it?
My OB/GYN suggested that I try something different, as many people react poorly to some BCs and not others, but I was in the throws of being the sickest I had ever been in my life and I just wasn't going to experiment with it.
Could I suggest that you try beef liver instead? Chicken liver is much stronger IMO, and more likely to induce a gag reflex. Sounds great to me, though :)
...my Russian Urologist actually recommended an aloe vera juice -- even before anti-biotics, imagine that -- for an inflamed prostate.
The brand he had me using was [URL="http://www.lilyofthedesert.com/shop/aloe-juices/"][U]Lily of the Desert[/U][/URL]. Dosage was two ounces (1/4 cup) mixed with juice, 15-30 minutes before breakfast and dinner.
The large jug was 128oz, so 64 servings, and it would last a month if you used it twice (4oz) per day. I can't remember the cost, but it wasn't crazy expensive or anything.
They also sell a gel in the same kind of format, to be mixed with juice. As well, they have a preservative free version too. Hmmm, for some reason, something around $25/128oz sounds about right...hebs

|Clemson confirms McDaniels' decision
|Tuesday, April 22, 2014 1:22 PM-
CLEMSON, S.C. - Tiger forward K.J. McDaniels announced Tuesday he is forgoing his senior season and declaring for the 2014 NBA Draft.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity these past three seasons to grow as a player and person at Clemson," McDaniels said. "None of this would have been possible without the guidance and support of my coaches, teammates and family. This was not an easy decision, but I am excited to take the next step toward fulfilling my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA."
McDaniels was a first-team All-ACC selection and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2013-14. He led the Tigers in points (614), rebounds (255), blocks (100), steals (41) and three-pointers (42) - the only player in the country to lead his team in all five categories. He joined Wake Forest's Josh Howard as only the second player in ACC history to lead a team in all five of the aforementioned statistics for an entire season.
"I want to thank K.J. for his contributions to our basketball program these last three seasons," said Head Coach Brad Brownell. "K.J. is a hard-working, humble young man who always put team first. He has had a tremendous impact on our program and improved as much as any player I've ever coached. I'm extremely proud of his development and excited for his future at the next level."
The Birmingham, Ala., native earned the league's top defensive honor by leading all ACC players with 2.8 per game. He became only the third player in Clemson history to block at least 100 shots in a season, joining all-time Tiger greats Tree Rollins and Sharone Wright. McDaniels was the catalyst behind the Tigers' defense that ranked No. 1 in the NCAA in defending the three (.285), No. 5 in opponent points per game (58.4) and No. 8 in blocks per game (6.1).
McDaniels led all ACC players with six games of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds this season. He posted 13 total 20-point games after entering his junior season without one in 58 career outings. McDaniels finished his career with 1,035 points, 450 rebounds and 178 blocked shots. He is seventh in school history in total blocks.

Science fiction and fantasy fans may know David Erik Nelson from his quirky stories in magazines like Asimov's SF Magazine, his Nebula Award nomination, or from his posts at the Giant Squid and Newswire blogs. However, Nelson's also an accomplished craftsperson whose first DIY book, the delightful Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred: Seriously Geeky Stuff to Make with Your Kids, was recently published by No Starch Press.
What should you expect besides lots of snipping, burning, soldering, and shredding? You'll learn to sew, perform simple carpentry, and engage in screen printing while creating x-ray drums, guitar effects, steam ships, boomerangs, kites, and games. In other words, the book contains a great mix of the practical and the imaginative, suitable for the entire family.
However, Omni's favorite project might just be Nelson's sock squid, which is a rather ingenious fiber project you also can turn into a sock Cthulhu, the legendary monster chronicled by H.P. Lovecraft.
But we'll let Nelson tell you more about it himself…

USPS Mail Shipping Classes Explained
|Email Print
Over the course of the last few weeks, I've been mailing a bunch of documents and packages back and forth between my parents and myself. Some of these packages have been important from a sentimental perspective, some have been important from a financial perspective, and some were just some routine things that weren't important at all. While my faith in the United States Postal Service is a little shaky, they've had a good enough track record that I'd trust them as long as I didn't test them by mailing too much! In all those instances, we had to decide on how we were going to mail it – certified, registered, express, priority or regular? What's the difference? The differences are actually pretty substantial and it's important to understand what each is trying to accomplish so you don't overpay.
Certified Mail
The package is trackable and a signature is required on delivery. The point of certified is if you can't completely trust your recipient or you need a timestamp of when a package is accepted. This makes it perfectly suited for official letters because the post office will track when the letter was delivered along with a signature by the person who accepted it. If you don't need either of these things, certified mail is a completely waste of money.
Registered Mail
Registered mail is the only one that guarantees delivery and they claim to put it under "tight security from the point of mailing to the point of delivery," plus insurance of up to $25k against loss and damage. If what you're shipping is over $5,000 (that's the normal insurance limit) and you want USPS shipping insurance, registered mail is the one for you. If the thought of having to mail your item or letter scares you, you'll probably want this insurance.
Express Mail
The package is trackable (if you print the label online) though no signature is required on delivery. Guaranteed to get there as promised or your money back. If you want speed, this is your best bet. The guarantee is a money-back guarantee, it's possible that the package will never get there.
Priority Mail
The package is trackable (if you print the label online) though no signature is required on delivery. An interesting tidbit, any package over a pound is automatically considered priority mail even if you want to do it first class. Both are transported together and it is not treated any differently than regular mail. The 2-3 day delivery timeline is an estimate and not a guarantee, you'll need Express Mail for a money-back guarantee.
First Class Mail
This is essentially everything else and is what I call regular mail. It's called First Class because it's the "best" of the shipment options that aren't Express or Priority. Some examples of other classes are Media Mail and Parcel Post… both are slooooowwwww.
I think two things confuse people the most about shipping with the USPS:
- People think Priority Mail means it's guaranteed to get there in 2-3 days, it really gets there as quickly as it would've if you shipped it First Class. If you have something that is less than 16 oz. and you ask for Priority Mail, you're paying more for the sticker.
- People mistake Certified Mail for Registered Mail. If you're filing some document, certified mail is what you want. If you're mailing a $25,000 necklace, then registered mail is what you want.

Nestled in a plot between Roswell Park and Darwin Martin – a pair of historical heavyweights in Forest Lawn's Section H – it was former Cheektowaga farmer Amos Ray who stole the show Thursday.
Ray, an early Cheektowaga settler who died in 1863, has been interred in a family grave at Forest Lawn since 1928, when his remains were relocated with those of other family members from Cheektowaga's First Settlers/Bennet Family Cemetery.
Eighty-four years later, his 900-pound headstone finally made that same 5½-mile journey.
"This really means a lot to the Ray family," said James G. Ray III, Amos' great-great-grandson, whose genealogical research proved instrumental in Thursday's reunion. "We're just happy we could set things right."
Ray and his father, James Jr., uncloaked Amos Ray's newly cleaned and polished Civil War-era headstone at his family's plot during a ceremony in Forest Lawn that attracted several members of the Cheektowaga Historical Association, Forest Lawn President Joseph P. Dispenza and local media.
The Rays were tickled – and proud – that their ancestor, who once owned much of the Cheektowaga land now occupied by Walden Galleria, generated so much attention in a cemetery that boasts some of the nation's most historically influential figures.
"It's very interesting," said James Ray Jr., 84, of Grand Island, who recalled visiting one of Amos' two sons, George, his grandfather, as a young child. "If it weren't for … [my son], none of this would have happened."
James Ray III first contacted the Cheektowaga Historical Association earlier this year, explaining that his great-great-grandfather's headstone and remains were separated. The Town of Tonawanda resident and family history buff was quick, however, to deflect praise onto many others involved in Thursday's event.
"[The Historical Association members] were just marvelous," James Ray III said. "They really took an interest in this."
Historical Association members took Ray's information to Forest Lawn and Stone Art Memorial Co. Both then donated extensive labor and materials to execute the careful relocation from Cheektowaga to the Buffalo cemetery.
"The family was here 80 years ago. The family was here 100 years ago. Today you're here for a happy occasion," Dispenza told Ray family members. "It's said, … 'There is nothing so sad as the unremembered dead.' Today, the graves are marked."
Thursday's event was the latest in a continuing restoration project by the Cheektowaga Historical Association that began two years ago at the town's "oldest cemetery" near Walden Avenue and Harlem Road, said Maureen E. Gleason, a leader of the association.
"We would never have known this if Mr. Ray hadn't come forward," Gleason said. "It's just the fate of God."
Gleason said the Cheektowaga historical group has "come across many mysteries" in the old cemetery during its restoration, including the discovery of Amos Ray's antique headstone, which was found propped up against a back fence along with three "empty foundations" in the burial ground.
"We were perplexed, to say the least," Gleason said, explaining that James Ray III's research provided the long-sought solution to the riddle. "We now have the answer to our 'unsolved mystery.' "
Some people suggested that the size and weight of the marble and sandstone marker might be the reason it never followed Amos to his new "final resting place" in Forest Lawn.
Gleason said that it has been a dream of hers to unite Ray's headstone with his remains.
Amos Ray was a native of Great Barrington, Mass., who in 1823 moved to what was then part of Amherst – now Cheektowaga – with his parents, Joseph and Prudence, and older brother, James. He went on to become a farmer and also the director of the Batavia Plank Road Co., a toll road for farmers that later became what we now recognize as Genesee Street, Historical Association officials explained.
Amos Ray and his wife, Maria Ferris Ray, had two sons, Frank and George, prior to his death in 1863. He was interred in the Bennet Family Cemetery along with his father, who died in 1848. His mother and brother would also be buried there in 1864 and 1887, respectively.
Although not related to the Bennets, the Rays were "friends and neighbors," and it was "common practice" for the town's founding families to be buried there, the Historical Association says.
George Ray, who went on to become a successful businessman in Buffalo, bought a family plot in Forest Lawn's Section H in 1889. George Ray's mother; her second husband, Nathan Webb; and older brother Frank were interred in the plot between 1899 and 1916 before he arranged to have his four family members' remains still in Cheektowaga – including those of his father, Amos Ray – relocated to Forest Lawn in 1928.

A man was shot and his car stolen Monday just outside of Patterson, deputies said.
When authorities arrived to the scene near the 2600 block of Orange Ave., they found the man next to a cornfield, suffering from gunshot wounds.
"He was able to tell us that a man drove away in his car," said Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department spokesman Anthony Bejaran.
The victim was airlifted to an area hospital. His condition has not been released.
Deputies said they are on the lookout for a green Toyota SUV with California license plate 6AND659.
"The occupants of the car are considered armed and dangerous," Bejaran said.
The circumstances leading up the shooting and the reason the man was left near a cornfield are not clear, deputies said.
"We hope to learn more after he gets out of surgery," Bejaran said.

The Republican National Committee wants an audit of Barack Obama's presidential campaign contributions, after claims that he may be accepting illegal donations.
Conservative news site Newsmax.com reported last Monday that more than half of the contributions made to Obama's campaign come from small donors who remain unknown.
Now the RNC is asking the Federal Election Commission to look into all foreign and small donor contributions to the senator's presidential race.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded that monitoring contributions can be difficult and that even John McCain can attest to that.
"John McCain has had to return over $1.2 million to donors who potentially violated the law with their contributions," he said.
Burton added that Obama's campaign has "shattered" fundraising efforts "without accepting a dime" from lobbyists and that they do all they can to weed out dishonest donations.
"While no organization is completely protected from Internet fraud, we will continue to review our fundraising procedures to ensure that we are taking every available to step to root-out improper contributions," Burton said.
Still, the RNC remains suspicious.
"It seems to the RNC that the Obama campaign knew (the donations) were excessive, yet they appear to have taken no action on their own," RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said.
Committee rules say neither campaign can accept more than $2,300 from a single small donor and that contributions from citizens of foreign countries are not allowed.
Cairncross believes Obama has violated both.
"We see a lack of control, a lack of willingness on the part of the Obama campaign to ask relevant questions," Cairncross said.
Campaigns are not required to report donations below $200, but federal law requires they keep a tally on smaller donations and report them once they exceed the $200 mark.
Because Obama does not accept public financing, the election commission will have to vote whether to conduct an audit. This will likely not take place before the Nov. 4 election.

A man decapitated himself on a Bronx street in a horrific suicide Monday morning.
Authorities say the 51-year-old man, who is from upstate New York, tied a metal chain around his neck and secured it to a pole at about 9:20 a.m in Hunts Point.
He then got into his car and accelerated, causing his head to be torn off.
The man's body was ejected from the car when he hit another parked vehicle, police told WPIX.

Vancouver, Pittsburgh, San Jose, St. Louis, Anaheim (not that there's any chance of that one), Chicago. If we can't win it, well, then I would love to see Winnepeg get it - how wonderful that would be for them.
I almost forgot Nashville. They wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it.

This year, I would be upset if Boston, Chicago, or the Pens won it since they have won it recently. New Jersey and Dallas wouldn't be horrible, but I wouldn't root for them much. I am ok with Vancouver, Los Angeles, Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas, Blues, Florida, Phily, Ottawa, Rangers, or Washington.

...i hate the canucks so much it's actually cynical.
I SO hear you. I live 60 minutes south of Vancouver. It's a really cool place, until you get to talking hockey with them.
But it's a super tough choice for me.
Someone posted San Jose and I thought "Oh Yeah yeah yeah yeah, San Jose, not Thornton, no way, God please don't let them win it."
But then someone else posted Chicago and I thought "NO way, two Cups to Zero in the last few years, no God, don't let them win"
The someone posted Pittsburgh and i thought, "God, don't make me deal with that! Not the 'I never want to be there again" No!"
I guess for me, it's between Vancouver, Chicago, San Jose, and Pittsburgh. C'mon Detroit!

It's difficult for me to be pissed about any of these franchises winning it after the roads they've gone through to be competitive and remain that way. DRW are spoiled. I mean come on, some of these teams have been around for so long and have never won one. Why hate on them for winning it if they did? They've struggled long enough, right? I mean, I would love if the Wings won 10 Cups in a row, but in this Salary Cap Age, that's never going to happen, and if the Blues or Kings or Sabres won, I'm sorry...I would be happy for them. That's just me.
That being said - I would F'ing rather watch figure skating for a two months straight than ever see the Blackhawks, Pens, Avs, Ducks, Devils raise Lord Stanley's. At least for another 25 years.
Oh, and the Sharks. They're an outlier. Wouldn't mind if they never won.

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

1) Pittsburgh
2) Vancouver
3) New Jersey I guess
I'll have to wait until the playoffs start to make an official list.
"When you want to measure yourself, you don't measure yourself against, no disrespect to TORONTO or any other team that I can think of right now, you measure yourself against the Detroit Red Wings. They are the best in the league, and whether they won last year's Cup or didn't win last year's Cup, they're the measuring stick." - Bruce Boudreau

But only if Crosby is playing - if he's injured all playoffs and they win it, and as long as they don't beat us in the finals - I'd be curiously satisfied.

San Jose: I don't want to see the Cup desecrated with such whining diving douchebags (any moreso than it already has by the likes of Forsberg, Crosby, Patrick Kane, etc.)
St. Louis: Little brother will probably not have as good a chance as this year, but I still never want to see it happen
Pittsburgh & Chicago: I don't want either of these teams, nor their fanbases, to have 2 Cups since our last one
Other than that, if someone other than Detroit had to win this year, I wouldn't mind any of the other teams still in contention.

what's with the hate for Canada? no Canadian team is without your hatred? Jets...Oilers?
As long as Pittsburgh, Vancouver, or any other Canadian team don't win the cup I could care less.
I like this team.

I am Canadian and I hate all the Canadian teams and their fan bases. I grew up and still live in "Leafs Territory" and I cannot stand the sad sacks of s*** fans they have.
I guess Winnipeg would be the only Canadian team I'd be okay with since I got family there and they used to send me Jets stuff when I was a kid.
Posted 23 March 2012 - 12:54 PM
I am sooo with you. I want them to make the playoffs so we can have our revenge but if they won the cup...Id be so pissed. Just had the image of Joe Thornton blowing kisses to the crowd and hoisting the Cup. Puked a bit in my mouth. NASTY!
Sharks. I hate the Sharks. As happy as it would make me if they missed the playoffs, I would love it if Detroit would sweep their asses even more.
Posted 23 March 2012 - 12:57 PM
Gotcha. I definitely understand. Just making sure you don't just hate Canada for some reason, but seeing as you're Canadian, no worries there... I loathe the Canucks as many know by now. The Leafs...Laughs...nuff said. I don't like the Habs, they are smut. I'm neutral on the Sens and Flames...i have a Spezza and an Iginla shirt, that's about it. I do like the current oilers team, not that '06 crap with "Prongs". I'm from Winnipeg and the Jets have this city pretty much out of control. Our fanbase is insane and gladly not douchey yet. Hopefully it stays that way, cause we love having a team back here and our team is a hard working bunch that deserves the 8th spot above the Caps for sure.

ALLEN PARK -- The additions keep coming to the Detroit Lions' roster.
Former Western Michigan defensive end Freddie Bishop is the latest undrafted rookie free agent to sign, according to the team's official website.
Bishop, an Inkster native, participated in the Green Bay Packers' rookie minicamp.
Over the past two seasons with the Broncos, Bishop totaled 114 tackles in 25 games, including 9.5 sacks. He had 11.5 tackles for loss in 2012 en route to being named Western Michigan's Outstanding Team Player.
At Western Michigan's pro day, Bishop said he completed 30 repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench press and weighed in 253 pounds.
Bishop joins fellow rookie Ezekiel Ansah, Jason Jones, Willie Young, Devin Taylor and Ronnell Lewis in competition for playing time at defensive end.

The dog survived but faces additional veterinarian bills.
One of the people who came out to protest, Darla Wardrip, said she is a dog trainer and met with Kiki herself.
"I evaluated her temperament, and I believe she's not a dangerous dog," she said. "She was probably, you know, being territorial because it was her environment."
Wardrip said she thinks the officer should have resorted to a different use of force, like bear spray.
She thinks officers need training on animal behavior.
Springfield Police Chief Tim Doney said that officers do receive animal training.
"We go through a lot of training in reference to dealing with use of force scenarios, both primarily with human beings but also sometimes in reference to dogs," he said. "The bottom line to this is that if this animal had been secured in a yard or in a home, we wouldn't be here today."
Doney said the police department is full of dog lovers, himself included.
"I speak with a little bit of insight because I've had a dog shot and killed by someone," he said, "and I also was mauled by a Rottweiler, and I know in those particular cases that sometimes you have just seconds to think and make a plan of action."
Last year, the department responded to over 100 dog calls, and he said they often deal with dogs during their day to day work.
"This is an unfortunate situation. I wish I could tell you that to would never happen again, but I can't in good conscience tell you that," Doney said. "If circumstances present themselves in a particular fashion, could find the same results."The Springfield Police Department released this statement Thursday about the investigation:
The following is being offered as clarification to information being provided in the media regarding an incident on 081214 in which a SPD Officer shot a vicious dog in response to a call. The investigation is ongoing and preliminary at this point.
6:49 pm - A female neighbor called SPD reporting the dog as running loose and barking at people. No animal control officers were working and no SPD officers were available to respond to the call at that time.
7:13 pm - 72 year old male caller reports a vicious dog, chasing pedestrians and cyclists. While speaking with dispatchers, the caller threatens to shoot the dog himself.
An SPD officer arrives on scene and observes several citizens pointing at the dog which is on the sidewalk barking at other citizens.
The officer tries to distract the dog and gain his attention.
Citizens point out a home to the officer in which they believe the dog belongs.
The officer decides to try to make contact with the possible owners in an attempt to have them help him with the dog.
The dog focuses on the officer and becomes aggressive charging him.
The officer is backing away (attempting to retreat) and the dog continues the charge and lunges at him.
The officer fearing for his safety and the safety of others fires one round striking the animal.
The animal runs off and the officer follows, fearing that other citizens might be attacked.
The dog eventually runs into a yard where it is later controlled.
Officers interviewed a number of witnesses and neighbors and learned the following:
- A 72 year old man was walking down the street and the dog charged off the porch of a home at him, running into the street. This same man reported that the dog also chased after two bicyclists who were also able to get away. (The 72 year old man later phoned SPD)
- A 12 year old boy was walking down the street and the dog charged off the porch of a home and at him. Fearing he was going to be attacked, he took refuge by a parked vehicle and yelled for help. At least two neighbors came outside and observed the boy. At the same time, a passing motorist observed the dog charging and barking at the boy and began honking their vehicle horn to distract the dog. The driver was able to pull in between the dog and the child. The driver (a stranger) offered to drive the child away. The boy got into the car with the stranger to avoid/escape the dog.
Family members of the dog's owner reported that the dog in normally not allowed to be out without people being around it. When the family is gone, the dog is normally kenneled in the backyard or tethered/tied to a tree. The dog has reportedly killed cats previously.
The dog apparently escaped the tether and backyard.
While at the Veterinary Hospital, family reportedly advised to muzzle the animal.
If anyone has any additional information they are asked to call the Springfield Police Department at (541) 726-3714.

Gov. Chris Christie's plan to raid more than $100 million from housing trust funds across the state has been thwarted. An appeals court ruled this month that the Christie administration had no authority to take the funds. That's good news for municipalities, many of whom have plans for the money that will increase affordable housing stock. And that, by the way, was the sole purpose for the existence of those trust funds in the first place.
Christie had tried hard to pry the funds free, and as recently as July 24, his administration sent letters to municipalities demanding they remit any uncommitted funds to the state. Now, the state has to return any funds that town officials were bullied into releasing.
A spokesman for the state attorney general said an appeal is still being considered.
Although Christie insisted he would apply those funds to statewide homeless programs, that was disingenuous. The money grab was all about propping up his budget to pay for tax cuts.
About $200 million in Clean Energy Funds was diverted to balance the budget rather than for conservation, as intended. That move hastened the dismantling of the state's green energy policies.
It's all necessary for Christie to complete the fairy tale about the New Jersey "comeback." It's a bogus narrative, as our latest unemployment numbers indicate — 9.8 percent. But Christie is doing all he can to twist the story his way.
After all, without the "comeback," what will he have to say next week when he takes the podium at the Republican National Convention?

text: Some of the best wines in the world are made in the foothills of the Andes Mountain Range in South America. Argentina on the east side and Chile on the west side. Much of their fame comes from two little used French grape varieties. Little used in France, that is. It can be argued that the Malbec grape put Argentina's wines on the world-wide wine map. To a lesser degree the same thing has happened in Chile with the Carmenere grape. Personally, I like the Carmenere a little better.

Still yes!
awww so cute ^^
D'awwww ~<3
Pyro has backups. When he gets out of bed (if he/she sleeps) he/she goes "mmph. Should I wear my gas mask, my gas mask, or my other gas mask? Decisions, decisions."
Pyro and Medic are my two favorite classes. D'awwww!
Awwwww.... I wonder if the medic knows of all the crazy that goes on inside the Pyro's head...
He probably has notebooks full of stuff hes observed of pyro
I picture him observing everyone to know who is dangerous and who is most likely to be killed first and thus, be used for spare parts.
thats so cute
thats so cute
yeeeayyy so sweeet :3
;A; I frikken adore this... It is hard to find Medic and Pyro pics, and this is amazing!!!

Eeee! I'm really glad you like it! Woah.. I actually think Medic and Pyro are somewhat really good friends! I may draw them more .
Well, he is the expert!
For some reason, I really like how you did Medic's hair.
For some reason, I really like how you did Medic's hair.
Of course. Oh- really? Medic's hair is always really difficult to draw for me ;; So thank for that comment! It is really appreciated
You should've put "Danke, Frau Pyro." if you catch my drift.
That makes sense, I love how you incorporated the new items into the picture!
Yea. I like to think Pyro and Medic are somewhat nice friends and now they are air mask buddies. Thanks! Very glad you like it.

Payne Gym is the home of the Westminster Griffins: men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, cross-country, men's soccer, and men's and women's golf. Built during the term of President Herbert W. Reherd (1913–1939), it was named after the president of the Board of Trustees and manager of the local J.C. Penney Company; groundbreaking was July 1928 and dedication January 11, 1929.
Though the college worried that it was frivolous to spend money on a gymnasium, the facility, designed by architect Walter E. Ware, provided needed recreation for the school and groups in the entire Sugar House area. It was added on to and remodeled in 1970 under President Manford Shaw (1968–1976), and has housed the basketball and volleyball programs, dances, speakers, luncheons, career fairs, orientations, and a variety of other cultural and social student events–including being the practice facility for the Utah Jazz from 1979 to May 1999!

In this movie, we are going to get an audio for video session going from scratch. We will populate our session with tracks and get set up with an audio for video workflow in mind. When we're done, you will have a useful session template you can use anytime you work with video. By default, when you start Pro Tools, you will get this dialog. I will start by creating a blank session. We will choose Broadcast Wave Files and a Sample Rate of 48 kHz. Bit Depth, we will choose 16 Bit, which is the standard video bit depth, although you could choose 24 Bit if you wanted to have more dynamic range. For I/O Settings, we will choose Stereo Mix, although we will be enhancing that as we go along. Let's click OK and it will ask us where to save it.
And let's call is A4V, and I will save it into this project folder. So, when Pro Tools open, you get a blank session. This is the default view set up. Let's configure a view for optimum working in audio for video. Obviously, you can further customize this to your own taste, but first let's click the green plus arrow and make the window nice and big. And we will start with the main counter up here. You are going to want to change this to Time Code if you are working with video, so that's the first order of operations. Do that. Then we are going to show subcounter. We want to see minutes and seconds, along with our timecode.
Next, let's deal with these rulers. Not all these rulers are going to be useful to us when we are working with audio for video, so we are going to actually take away some of them. We are seeing a lot of different rulers that we won't need. We can remove rulers from our ruler view by Option+Clicking or Alt+Clicking on the names. So, let's get rid of Tempo, Meter, and Samples. We will leave behind just Time Code and Markers. Next, let's go up to our Grid settings. Let's change this to instead of being 1 second, to 1 frame, and also our Nudge values. Let's make those 1/4 frame. That way we can nudge around and stay within the frame accurate-world, but make finer than one-frame adjustments when we nudge our regions.
I usually get rid of this floating transport window because I can have the same information up top. I can also expand this top Transport window by going to Expanded Transport, and it shows me all the info. The Mix window is behind the Edit window, and you can always toggle between the two with the handy key command, Command+Equal or Ctrl+Equal for Windows users. There is our Mix window, and I'll go and make that nice and big. Notice we don't have any tracks yet, so let's actually make a bunch of tracks that are useful for our audio for video workflow.
Here is a key command everybody should learn. It's Shift+Command+N or Shift+Ctrl+N for Windows users, and that's how to make new tracks. So, let's start out by making 18 mono audio tracks, and then I am going to click this Plus button to create an additional set of tracks. The next set of tracks are going to be 12 stereo tracks, and then we are also going to make 1 mono auxiliary track, and we are also going to make two more stereo auxiliary tracks. So, this will help us populate our session for the kind of tracks we will need as we work.
So, when I hit Create, all these tracks will be made, and you can see there is a lot of tracks in the Mix window. If we want to, we can go ahead and narrow our Mix window view. So, go up to View > Narrow Mix. That helps a little bit to fit more tracks on the screen. Here is one other cool tip. It's an undocumented key command tip and that's to hold Ctrl+Option+Command on the Mac, which will be on Windows+Alt+Ctrl on a PC, and click on any of the meters in the Mix window. Then you get wide meters. Kind of cool! You can see your meters better that way. So, now we are going to designate a name what the tracks will be used for.
So, going back to our Edit window. I am going to take the first 8 mono tracks and those are going to become our dialogue tracks. We are going to name them DX 1 through 8. DX is an industry naming convention used for dialogue tracks. So, double-click to open the first one, and we are going to name this DX 1. And we're going to go through and name the next seven tracks. So, it's going to be DX 1 through 8 total. So, there is DX 2, and if I hold Command+ Right Arrow or Ctrl+Right Arrow, I can go to the next track to name it. DX 3 and finally DX 8.
The next four tracks will be the production sound effects tracks. Let's name them FX PROD 1-4. So, the first one would be FX_PROD 1, and going on to the next one, FX PROD 2. The next five tracks will be mono sound effects tracks. Let's name them FX.MONO 1-5.
Then for our last mono track, we will call it TONES. We will use this for reference tones and sync pops. The first six stereo tracks will be FX.ST 1-6. Those are going to be our stereo effects tracks. FX.ST 1, FX.ST 2, and so forth. The next four tracks will be ambience tracks. We will name them FX.AMB 1-4. So, it's going to look like this, FX.AMB 1. Then we have our music tracks.
We have two of them. Let's name them MX1 for Music Tracks, and MX 2. For the three aux tracks, these are where we will bus our three stems. We will name them first one, which is the mono one, DX Bus. That's going to be our dialog bus, and it will be our mono bus, DX. And the second two are going to be FX Bus and MX Bus. So, when we are done, we have got all of our tracks named. The next thing I like to do is to color-code the tracks.
For my color coding, I usually color-code dialog tracks blue, production effects tracks purple, effects tracks orange, music tracks yellow, tones or any other utility tracks brown, and aux tracks green. So, now we have got them all color coded and I am going to Option+Click or Alt+Click on this narrow strip to make them small, so I can see more of them. And we are going to actually route these tracks. So, we are going to send all the dialog tracks to the dialog bus. So if I select and hold Shift and select all the dialog tracks--It will be helpful before I bus them to see the I/O selector here.
That's another option we can turn on. Go up here in the top left of your tracks and turn on I/O, and then we can see the input and output. So, with all the dialog tracks selected, I am going to hold Option+Shift or Alt+Shift and go into the track output selector, and on the quick track assign, I can assign all these tracks to the dialog bus. As you see, all the tracks automatically went over to the bus called DX Bus, and let's just scroll down real quick. And we can see that on the dialog bus itself, its input went to the same bus.
So, now all of our dialog tracks are routing to that dialog bus aux track. And I am going to do the same for all the effects tracks, including the production tracks. I am just going to exclude the tones track. So, hold Command to add the next few, excluding the tones track, and Shift to select the rest of them, so I have got all my effects tracks selected. And again, Option+Shift or Alt+Shift. I am going to use the handy track send selector to output these to the FX Bus, and finally, we have our two music track, so Shift+Select to get these guys selected and Option+Shift or Alt+ Shift and go send these to the music bus.
So, now we have got all the tracks routed. One thing you want to do here is to solo-safe the dialog, effects, and music bus by holding Command or Ctrl for Windows users on the Solo button, and that way when we solo our tracks out here in our session, it won't mute the bus, so we can hear through. And we have a template. So let's save this. So, I am going to File > Save and this is saved as our A4V session. We can also save this as a template that we can use anytime we start up Pro Tools. So, we are going to go in here and say File > Save As Template, and we can put this in the Category of Post Production, which is pre-made category from Pro Tools, and let's name it A4V.
This is the name of this session template, and we will hit OK. And I want to close the session just to show you what that will look like. So, Shift+Command+W closes our session. That's Shift+Ctrl+W for windows users. And we can go ahead and save it once more. And now, when we go into Pro Tools and we say File > New Session, we get this New Session dialog, and here if we scroll down to Post Production, there is our A4V template. And if we hit OK, it will ask us where to save it. A4Vtest, just to see what it looks like.
Hit Save and there is our session that we just made. So, you can use that anytime you go into Pro Tools. As you have seen, the setup for an audio for video session template like this is complex and kind of time-consuming, but we only need to make it once, and once you have it, you can use it over and over again for any audio for video sessions you work on.

Few business decision-makers would deny the notion that data protection is a vital component of any successful organization. Firms that suffer data breaches inevitably absorb a great deal of damage, ranging from direct financial losses to fines to a tarnished reputation.
Understanding these potential consequences, firms of all sizes and sectors have instituted a wide array of data protection strategies, including the implementation of secure file sharing solutions. Yet investing in these resources is not sufficient. Additionally, business leaders must take active steps to remind employees about the importance of data protection tools and enforce their usage.
This is a serious problem for many businesses. Frequently, an executive or other decision-maker will select a data protection solution which is then made available to all necessary personnel. Ideally, managers will then make sure that all employees understand these new tools and how they are to be utilized.
Unfortunately, however, this is often where management's role begins to dissipate. Once the tools are in place, there is no longer any obvious steps that must be taken to ensure the firm's data security. Consequently, it is easy for these issues to slip into the background.
When this happens, employees often feel less pressure to take the directed steps to protect corporate data. In fact, they may forget about these solutions entirely. This leads to risky behavior when it comes to sending, receiving and accessing the company's information, which in turn can lead to a costly data breach.
That is why business leaders must not only provide secure file sharing and other data protection tools, but also regularly emphasize their importance. Without consistent reminders and encouragement, employees may underestimate the significance of these strategies, which can put the firm as a whole at risk.

After his Chestnut Hill Quaker meetinghouse construction site was torched in December 2012, builder Robert Reeves Jr. immediately knew whom to blame.
Weeks of aggressive confrontation with members of the Philadelphia ironworkers' union had led up to the attack. But despite his confidence in their involvement, he remained reluctant to pursue a criminal case.
"This type of retaliation has been going on all of my lifetime, my entire career," he said. "What was going to change here?"
So, Reeves said, he was as surprised as anyone when federal authorities last week announced a sweeping racketeering conspiracy case against 10 members of Ironworkers Local 401, alleging top leaders, including union head Joseph Dougherty, had doled out violent retribution for years against contractors who refused to hire their members.

Q: Two weeks ago I lost my 5-year-old male Ragdoll to Chronic Renal Failure (CRF). I have another Ragdoll, Johnny, who is also 5 years old. The two were together since they were 4 months old. Johnny seems very lonely; his frantic meowing is calming down (after lots of holding and petting), but all he does is sleep now. He was great with my other cat. They were constantly together – playing, watching birds, cleaning, sleeping and eating. I think he needs another cat, but I'm afraid he may withdraw. What do you think? Would you suggest a kitten or an older cat? How long should I wait before introducing another cat into his household? If I do get another cat, I would only get another male Ragdoll.A: I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Ragdoll to CRF. Cats often go into a depression after the loss of a buddy they are bonded to. Mourning can be exhibited in a variety of ways. Johnny is displaying his grief through his frantic vocalizations and his intense sleeping. Right now the priority is to make sure that Johnny is eating and drinking. If he stops eating, it's essential that you take him to your veterinarian.At this stage, a new friend will not help him through his grief. Bringing a new cat friend home for him, compounded with adjusting to the loss of his buddy, will needlessly escalate his stress level and can compromise his immune system. Wait until he and you have worked through the grief before bringing home a new friend for both of you.
Help him through this tough time by engaging him in activities he enjoys on a consistent schedule. If he enjoys grooming, groom him every day at the same time. Make sure to feed him at the same times every day. Additionally, clicker training is a fun activity that can help a cat through grief since it focuses and challenges a cat. Keeping a fixed schedule will help Johnny adjust to the loss of his buddy.
Consider bringing a new cat in only after Johnny is behaving as he did before the loss and is showing no signs of grief. Give him time and don't rush into bringing a new cat friend into the household. If you do decide to bring another Ragdoll buddy in, consider a cat around the same age as Johnny instead of a kitten. Kittens have an abundance of energy and want to play just about every waking minute. Older cats are usually annoyed by the constant kitten play.
When you do bring a new cat home, please introduce them slowly. It may take a month or longer to properly introduce Johnny to the new friend with a minimum of stress.

Lucy -- You should first rule out any medical reasons for your cat's behavior. Take your cat to the vet or, because your cat was formerly feral, see if a mobile vet could visit you. Once your cat is healthy, you can turn to helping the behavior that causes your cat to do this. Check out these articles for more: LINK LINK

Krystar (a snowshoe breed) was a ferral who adopted us. She adapted to staying indoors as long as I let her ferral friends in for a bite to eat. Animal control must have cleaned up the neighborhood because there isnt a single stray in sight and Krystar just sits in a window and self mutilates. Her fur is feeling more like a porcupine, I have to coax her to eat and she's loosing weight fast. She doesn't want to pay with Squeak, our other cat. Its been going on 7 months now. Will she ever recover?

My cat is also grieving the loss of her cat companion, I had to move from my daughter's home and Boo Boo was her cat. They were together for 5 years. Callie, my cat, howls at night and searches for her. She wakes at 4 am. and cries and cries for Boo Boo. I feel so helpless. I just love her and buy her toys and stay with her all day. I am retired. She is suffering.

Morning Five: 03.19.15 EditionPosted by nvr1983 on March 19th, 2015
- Companies often try to hide negative announcements by issuing press releases on Friday afternoon before a long weekend and we guess that is what Syracuse was trying to do by announcing that firing athletic director Daryl Gross and announcing that Jim Boeheim will retire in three years. The former is not exactly shocking since Gross ran the program during much of the time that it committed the NCAA violations for which it was punished. The announcement for Boeheim is a little more surprising and seems to suggest a comprise at some level as it was not that long ago that Boeheim said he would not be retiring any time soon. It would seem that the administration wanted to get rid of Boeheim, but perhaps he was too powerful to have that happen so instead we will be treated to the world's longest retirement tour. It also raises questions as to what the school's plans will be to replace Boeheim since Mike Hopkins has been the coach-in-waiting for years, but that was under Gross and with Gross on his way out that decision will be made by his successor, who might opt to go in a completely different direction. It will be interesting to see what happens in the post-Boeheim era since without Boeheim and the basketball program's reputation there is really nothing to draw a recruit there and the area is not exactly a hotbed for basketball talent.
- In other news… the NCAA Tournament is finally here. For some the NCAA Tournament kicked off with the first of the First Four games, but for traditionalists like us the "real" Tournament does not start until the field is set at 64. If you haven't already found resources to help you understand each region and/or match-up either for your curiosity or your bracket (still a few hours left to make final edits), we have plenty of resources available in our 2015 NCAA Tournament section. If you are just looking for breakdowns of each region, we have that for you for the East, Midwest, South, and West Regions. If you are looking for a completely different way of looking at the NCAA Tournament, we would suggest you check out the post by Draft Express breaking down the prospects for each of the opening games. It will also help you sound a little smarter when you are sitting around with our friends talking about every prospect on each team. Of course, since you are visiting this site, we doubt that you need any help being smart.
- This year's NCAA Tournament will produce many stars, but Chris Obekpa and Cliff Alexander are not likely to be among them barring any surprises. Obekpa, one of the top shot blockers in the country, was suspended for two weeks after testing positive for marijuana. While the decision to suspend Obekpa is not that surprising if that is the school's policy, the decision to announce the suspension before the Selection Show was pretty gutsy since it could have been enough to move St. John's down at least one seed line. As for Alexander, it appears increasingly likely that we have seen the last of him for at least this season as he did not make the trip with the team to Omaha for its opening game(s) while he waits to speak with NCAA investigators regarding alleged impermissible benefits he received (his mother receiving a loan). While we think Kansas can survive without Alexander, his absence limits their upside although a potential weekend match-up against Wichita State might have a bigger impact on that.
- The big topic in this year's NCAA Tournament is obviously Kentucky namely who can actually beat the Wildcats. President Obama, for one, is picking Kentucky to win in his Presidential bracket (he also announced his support of a 30-second shot clock, which means that every red state will now support extending the shot clock to 45 seconds). As for someone with a little more legitimate NCAA basketball experience (and two more NCAA violations), Larry Brown boldly claimed that this Kentucky team would make the NBA Playoffs in the Eastern Conference. We won't get into how ridiculous this statement is (plenty of others have already done it), but it does make us question the sanity of a Hall of Fame coach and one who led his team the AAC title. As for individuals who are trying to maintain a shred of credibility when discussing Kentucky, ESPN Magazine offered seven ways to beat Kentucky and teams that are suited to do so (hint: all of the teams listed are really, really good and none of the teams are listed in more than two of the seven ways). If you're looking for more credible responses or at least ones from coaches who have matched up against Kentucky, Jeff Eisenberg has some of their tips on how to beat Kentucky and who is ideally equipped to do so.
- We suspect that the Equity in Athletics report claiming that many NCAA Tournament teams do not make a profit might involve some creative accounting methods, but it should serve as a reminder just how tenuous the financials can be for some schools and serve to highlight issues involved in paying student-athletes to pay college sports. While Louisville led the nation with its basketball program turning a $24.2 million profit in 2013-14, several notable programs like West Virginia, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, and Davidson reported losses with the first two reporting $2.2 million and $2 million in losses respectively. Several other big-name programs reported breaking even and Duke, which apparently hired some accountants from Arthur Anderson, actually reported a $2 million loss for the 2008-9 season. Although we doubt the validity of some of the figures (particularly that Duke one), it does underscore the variable profitability within the sport.

FAU Names Marlaine Smith as Dean for the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
RATON, FL (March 29, 2011)
Florida Atlantic University named Marlaine Cappelli Smith, R.N.,
Ph.D., A.H.N.-B.C., F.A.A.N., as the dean of the Christine E. Lynn
College of Nursing effective July 1, 2011. Smith will be
responsible for moving the College toward the co-created vision
developed by faculty and staff, and advancing Dean Anne
Boykin's legacy of leadership in caring-based education,
research and practice.
"Marlaine's experience in nursing practice, education and research, and most recently as associate dean for academic programs at FAU, will bring great value to the dean position," said FAU Interim Provost Diane Alperin. "She is passionate about holistic and humanistic approaches to health and healthcare which are consistent with our College of Nursing's philosophy."
As dean, Smith will focus on expanding research and faculty practice opportunities, recruiting and retaining highly qualified faculty, staff and students from diverse backgrounds, and engaging with FAU colleagues and other communities to advance health professions education and improve health and care.
"I am honored to be selected as dean of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing," said Smith. "I came here five years ago because I wanted to be a part of what Dean Boykin had created with the faculty and staff through the generosity of Mrs. Lynn and others in the community. It is an awesome responsibility. I'm taking it on with enthusiasm and humility, knowing that I'm standing on the shoulders of giants."
Smith joined FAU in 2006 as associate dean for academic programs and the Helen K. Persson Eminent Scholar. She brings nearly 40 years of practice, academic and administrative experience to her new role. Smith's contributions to the discipline of nursing can be clustered in two areas: developing knowledge related to processes and outcomes of healing, and analyzing, extending and applying caring-based nursing theories. For 20 years, she has been conducting research related to the efficacy of touch therapies for relieving suffering and improving quality of life for persons in the advanced stages of chronic life-limiting illnesses. Smith has published in a variety of journals and books, and is the co-editor with Marilyn Parker of the third edition of the popular book Nursing Theories & Nursing Practice, published in 2010. Honors include election as a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing.
Smith received her B.S. in nursing from Duquesne University, two master's degrees in public health and nursing education from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Ph.D. in nursing from New York University. Since 1976, she has held faculty and academic administrative positions at Duquesne University, Penn State University, LaRoche College, University of Colorado and FAU.

Unlike last season, the 2011-2012 Chicago Blackhawks will have more leadership and depth with which to compete. They should be back in the cup picture and will have a formidable mix of quality forwards.
Many journalists and prognosticators have attempted to dissect Coach Q's brain and project line combos on a daily basis, but what is more compelling is assessing the overall value of each offensive player and the assets he brings to the hockey team.
Some forwards can play at both ends of the ice and some need improvement in a lot of areas. When breaking down the collective value of each Hawk forward for this season, here is how they stack up.

INWOOD - Musselman senior center Jacob Bare has spent the last three years putting the ball in the basket for coach Derek Basile and the Applemen. This fall, he will be going to school to put both the basketball, and potentially the bread, in the basket at Penn State-York.
"I'm really excited. They have a good ball club, and I'm glad I get to onto the next level to play basketball," Bare said.
Bare will be playing basketball for the Nittany Lions but is also going to school in hopes of one day opening up his own restaurant.
Article Photos
"I'm planning to major in hotel and restaurant management. I would really like to open up my own restaurant," he said.
The type of restaurant he would open is still unclear, but Bare says it would be "something everybody would like."
The Nittany Lions first contacted Bare during basketball season via phone. Bare said that Lions coach Parrish Petry told him that after looking at his stats and watching some game film, they were very interested in him joining their team.
York was not the only school interested in Bare, however. Alderson-Broaddus College and Shenandoah University also contacted Bare.
"I really looked into it," Bare said. "Penn State is a really good academic school. I care about sports, but academics come first. I feel like I can have a really good future if I go to Penn State."
Academics were a big deciding factor for Bare in selecting which college to attend, ultimately being Penn State. There are family reasons he chose the Lions, as well. Bare's father lives close to the school, and he says because of that, he won't have to live on campus.
Bare said that Petry and the rest of the Lions' coaching staff believe that he can make an impact from Day 1 and get a lot of minutes on the court.
"Coach Petry really thinks I can make an impact next year. He said that I am definitely going to play as a freshman."
Bare also has a good chance of starting due to the Lions losing some of its height. The 6-foot-5 senior can surely fill in whatever size deficiency the Lions have on their roster.
As a three-year starter at Musselman, Bare posed a big threat on the interior to opposing teams. This season he finished averaging 13 points per game and during his career, he averaged 11.5 points per game. He also grabbed 4.1 rebounds per game and swatted 1.3 blocks per game. He has led the team in that category for the last three years.
Asked about the biggest lessons that Basile has taught him, he said Basile told him, "to never give up and to always work hard. And if the going gets tough to keep going."
"He's made me a lot better, not only as a player, but as a student, too," Bare said.
Bare's scholarship is mainly for academics, due in large part to his 3.8 GPA. The scholarship is a full ride as long as he keeps his grades up. He is also receiving grants for basketball.
Bare said that the atmosphere was one of his favorite parts of high school basketball, especially when playing against his Berkeley County rivals.
"The games and the atmosphere and the crowd were great, especially playing against Martinsburg and Hedgesville," he said.
Even though he will leaving Musselman this summer, Bare won't forget his teammates.
"I hope next year Musselman can do a great job and hopefully make it to states. They have a lot of talent coming back. Tommy (Hargroves) and Trevon (Wesco) have a huge future. Hopefully, they can lead Musselman to a championship," he said.

For political memorabilia collectors, Philadelphia is the center of the universe. Not even Boston, New York, and Washington can top the attic-discovery potential of local ancestral estates.
Tom Slater, the director of Americana at Heritage, which sells high-end memorabilia from politicians, once lived in Haddonfield and knows firsthand what can be found here. His mentor, a well-known dealer, told him Philadelphia was one of the best places in the country to find great items.
"Unlike so many cities, it had never had a major natural disaster of any kind — fire, flood, earthquake," he said. "So there are a lot of attics in Philadelphia where things had been building up for five or six generations."

This pilaff is virtually a meal in itself, delicious hot or cold with or without a dollop of creamy yoghurt. It is very good with garlicky stewed aubergine but divine too with cumin-crusted roast lamb or chicken. The garlicky cumin crust can be adapted for lamb chops, cutlets or a whole shoulder or leg. Likewise with chicken, but chose cuts with bones, from wings to a whole bird. If there is a choice, go for Marcona almonds.
