Two months after opening their search for a new manager, the Boston Red Sox reportedly have their man.
Multiple news sources reported on Tuesday night that Bobby Valentine, 61, has reached a verbal agreement to become the team's 45th manager.
Valentine, who was in Japan for a charity event, did not respond to an email request for comment. The Red Sox declined comment.
Several Boston media outlets and ESPNBoston.com still reported that he would be introduced at a press conference on Thursday.
Valentine's hiring will end a search that began after Terry Francona, who had managed the only two Red Sox World Series titles in the last 93 years, parted ways with the club on Sept. 30.
Francona's departure came after the 2011 Red Sox had become the first team ever to lose a lead of as many as nine games in September and miss the playoffs.
Reports of lax discipline and nonchalant attitudes by key players followed.
In Valentine, the Red Sox are choosing a former big league manager whose strong-willed reputation has led to controversy at almost every stop of his career.
That distinguished Valentine not only from the even-tempered Francona, but from the other five candidates who were interviewed.

Only Valentine and Gene Lamont, who had managed the Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates, offered previous big-league managing experience.
They wound up as the finalists, an odd twist in a search that began with little indication that experience was valued.
Valentine's candidacy was rumored from the start, but he was not included in the process for weeks.
Working in coalition with Boston's three owners, new Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington interviewed five current big league coaches.
None could match Valentine's high profile. Cherington appeared to favor Milwaukee hitting coach Dale Sveum.
When Red Sox owners did not offer Sveum a contract, he was hired to manage the Chicago Cubs.
That surprising twist led to widespread speculation of a difference of opinion between Cherington and the owners, which Cherington has denied.
Nonetheless, Valentine soon emerged as not only a late addition to the field, but the apparent favorite.
His hiring is bound to be followed by close scrutiny of his relationship with his bosses.
Francona was open in his respect for the club's chain of command, a process that has often been at odds with Valentine's individualistic style.
Valentine managed the Texas Rangers from 1985-1992, and the New York Mets from 1996-2002. His career managing record is 1,117-1,072.
He never won a division title, but brought the wild-card Mets to the 2000 World Series, where they lost to the Yankees.
He has also had two managing stints in Japan, where he is considered a major celebrity,
Valentine guided the Chiba Lotte Mariners from 2004-2009. His 2005 team won the Japan World Series.
After that title, Valentine challenged the World Series champion Chicago White Sox to a true "world series.''
He was ignored, but it has rarely been easy to ignore or overlook Valentine, even during his nine-year absence from American managing.
He has served as an ESPN analyst. Early in 2011, he was named director of public safety in Stamford, Conn., where he promised to donate his $10,000 salary to charity.

Equilibrium strategy and population-size effects in lowest unique bid auctions
Document typeArticle
Date issued2012-02-22
Rights accessOpen Access
In lowest unique bid auctions, N players bid for an item. The winner is whoever places the lowest bid, provided that it is also unique. We use a grand canonical approach to derive an analytical expression for the equilibrium distribution of strategies. We then study the properties of the solution as a function of the mean number of players, and compare them with a large data set of internet auctions. The theory agrees with the data with striking accuracy for small population-size N, while for larger N a qualitatively different distribution is observed.We interpret this result as the emergence of two different regimes, one in which adaptation is feasible and one in which it is not. Our results question the actual possibility of a large population to adapt and find the optimal strategy when participating in a collective game.

It seems there's a day for everyone on the calendar. Today is Take Your Dog To Work Day and before you say I made this up, this quirky event started in 1999 by Pet Sitters International, a group that I still do not believe exists, the ASPCA, and other sponsors.
It is claimed that about 300 companies nationwide took part in the initial special day. The catch phrase was "celebrating the great companions dogs make!" This year it is asking businesses to "Go Furry" in an attempt to promote pet adoptions, an extension of last year's promo that "secondhand dogs offer first rate love."
Some advice about your pet's office visit includes the obvious, such as keep the dog on a leash, unless your in a designated office -- or cubicle. Consider dog-free areas, including restrooms and cafeterias or eating areas. It is also suggested that dog owners have a pet sitter available to take the pooch out for a midday walk.
I'm curious what is the dominant breed in Jersey City -- mixed, Chihuahua, pit bull, Lab? Velociraptors are OK for an office visit as long as they exist and kept on a leash. Otherwise, I'm waiting for "take your cat to work day" so I can just ignore it as it sleeps.

A coating of snow Friday morning prompted canceled classes throughout Whidbey Island.
The Coupeville, Oak Harbor and South Whidbey school districts canceled school Friday morning giving students an extra day for their winter break.
Forecasts call for one to three inches of snow to blanket Whidbey Island Friday morning. People won't have much time to enjoy the snow, however.
Temperatures are expected to rise with a high reaching around 46 degrees with the snow turning into rain, according the National Weather Service. The rain is expected to continue until Monday with highs in the 40s.
It looks like a white Christmas will avoid Whidbey Island this year. The forecast for Christmas Day calls for mostly sunny skies with a high of 44.

Strengthen Your Core
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
You could seem more emotionally fragile today. It might be that personal issues have been affecting you deeply, and you might find reassurance by staying within the comfort of your home. While your emotions may leave you feeling unsteady, it is important to remember that by taking care of yourself emotionally, your feelings will pass. Perhaps today you could work on building your inner sources of strength. You might take a few minutes to breathe into your abdomen. Imagine that you have a bright-yellow light in this area that expands with each breath. You can think of this light as being a powerful force that infuses your body's core with unlimited energy. You may find that this gives you the power to remain constant during times of emotional fluctuation.
Becoming connected through our core is a wonderful way to give us the strength we need to cope with any situation that may arise. When life events make us feel weak, we can become grounded in the present by connecting to the area right above our navel, which in many eastern traditions is considered our body's storehouse of energy. Breathing into this area releases any tension we may feel and brings fresh energy to our core. Imagining a yellow light helps us create a mental picture of this energy filling us up and giving us the strength we need to work through our emotions. By using your core to give you power today, you will strengthen your ability to deal with your personal affairs.

Ratings scale: *** Excellent. ** Good. * Poor.
"The Nonstop Garden" is the perfect name for a book by author Stephanie Cohen, a nonstop advocate of perennials for years, who has recently adjusted her ebullience to include any and all plants. A born teacher, she's put her considerable knowledge to work in this book for gardeners of many levels in many situations.
Co-author Jennifer Benner also has an impressive résumé that encompasses garden design and working as associate editor of Fine Gardening. The book's elegant photographs -- the majority by Benner -- demonstrate her skills in that arena, too. They also cause the reader to lust for the plants, both usual and not-so-usual.
Topics run the gamut from trees to annuals and include design tips, container ideas and how to take care of all the great plants featured. Very useful are the 10 garden plans, mapped out with plants and color-washed illustrations. The designs cover a wide spectrum of needs from a woodland situation to a baking-hot parking strip. Whether Cohen came up with them or not, names such as "Scented Segue," "Inferno Strip" and "Cool as a Cucumber" certainly are typical of her alliterative style.
While not as good as talking to Cohen in person, "The Nonstop Garden" expresses her irrepressible enthusiasm and depth of knowledge.
BOTTOM LINE: $19.95 paperback (248 pages, Timber Press)

Local fuel prices
The local stations finally broke the $1.00 per liter milestone in July 2005.
Hurricane Katrina in Sept. 2005 had its repercussions on our local fuel prices, as it did everywhere. At that time, it shot up to $1.40 per litre. It was as high as that again after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in mid-Sept. 2008, but dropped steadily after that, and remained relatively low over the winter months. In June 2013, the price for regular unleaded gasoline around town was around CAD$1.25 per liter for regular self-serve. In June 2014, the price was around CAD$1.30 per liter, but by December 11th, 2014, it had dropped to below $1.00, the lowest we've seen in more than 4 years.
The best deal on fuel in the province is found in Fredericton, because the only Costco fueling station is located here. So, if you're a Costco member, fill up here. The price at other competing stations in the city is between 3 - 4 cents more than at Costco. On Jan. 23rd, 2015, regular gas was selling there for 79.9 c/l. That's more than a 40 c/l drop in price since October, 2014.
If you're driving east towards Fredericton along the TCH Hwy #2, you'll pass a PetroCan station at Kings Landing, about 15 min. west of the City. Its price is often a couple of cents more expensive than at stations in Fredericton, so if your gas gauge isn't yet on "E", you're better off waiting until you get into the city to top up.
In New Brunswick, the price of fuel is regulated. What this means is that you won't see daily fluctuations in the price at the pumps, unless there's another crisis like Hurricanes Katrina or Ike. So, every Thursday, a new price may be set at the pumps. Will it go up, down, or stay the same ? It's like playing the lottery every Wednesday...should I top up the tank or not ? Check ww.cbc.ca > My Region > New Brunswick > look for Robert Jones' (the "Gas Guru") prediction on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays, for the change. He's usually right.
I'll keep this page updated from time-to-time with the latest local fuel price information, but the website mentioned below also maintains current info about gas prices around N.B.

From Quebec to Fredericton by bus
Acadian bus lines connect all the towns and cities in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Thanks to an agreement they have with Orleans Express, the main bus company operating in the province of Quebec, it is easy to travel from Quebec to Fredericton: Orleans Express will take you as far as Riviere-du-Loup, and from there you can catch an Acadian bus to Fredericton. Buses are quite comfortable and they only stop briefly along the way (two 15-min stops), so it actually doesn't take much longer to go by bus than to go by car. Tickets for a round-way trip between Quebec City and Fredericton cost about $180, and the Fredericton bus terminal is located at 101 Regent St., in downtown Fredericton.

The Fredericton Airport (YFC)
If you're planning to fly in to the City of Fredericton or the Town of Oromocto, the Fredericton Airport is actually located in Lincoln, between the two.
It's about a 10-15 min drive to downtown or uptown Fredericton, and even less than that to Oromocto.
The airport has undergone several expansions and improvements since 2002, and can now accommodate much larger aircraft. Currently, only Air Canada flies fly out of here. Delta Airlines yanked their twice-daily service to Boston on Jan. 7, 2008.
One improvement is that they have reinstated direct flights to Ottawa, so now you don't have to make a stop in Montreal or Toronto first.
If you need to rent a vehicle from the airport, there are four (4) rental agencies with booths side-by-side inside the terminal, to choose from.
There's no free shuttle service from the airport to downtown, so you'll need to either rent a car, take a taxi, or arrange for someone to pick you up.

Antique Car Show
An event that is tied into the annual Sussex Balloon Fest is a massive display of antique cars. There must have been 1000 of them spread out over the grounds of the former military base that is also used for launching the balloons (entry is only US$1.60 for unlimited parking - no other costs). My wife and I returned in September, 2005 for the 20th year of the festival and had a great time wandering around the rows of muscle cars, antiques, sports cars, trucks, motorcycles and even the odd old bulldozer or two! The vehicle that most caught our eye was this 1958 Morgan roadster, formerly owned by Clark Gable of "Gone With the Wind" fame! It had been deeded to Gable's secretary on his death and 25 years later ended up in a museum, from where the present owner managed to buy it. These cars are hand-built in England, with only about 300 per year being produced, so they are definitely not cheap. The owner of this one invited Sue to enjoy a spell behind the wheel and he also said that the next car after this one in the production line was originally bought by the Prince of Wales! I especially liked the look of that picnic hamper perched on the 'boot' - it even had a can of Guinness sticking out! That is a Porche Boxster to the left and a red Jaguar XKE behind the Morgan.

Not Easy to Reach !
Flying into Moncton, Fredericton or Saint John on Air Canada is the best way if coming from 'away'. From Europe, the most direct route is into Halifax, N.S. by Air Canada from London, Heathrow. Of course, you can also drive in via I-95 through Maine or down the Trans-Canada Highway from Quebec.
A great deal of highway work has taken place in the last few years and we now have a 4-lane highway from just north of Fredericton to Halifax, Nova Scotia. There is also an extensive network of more relaxed motoring routes if you want to really see the scenery! An unusual means of transport is depicted in this photo of the annual hot-air balloon fest in Sussex, NB.

Water Transportation
There are so many rivers in New Brunswick that the highway department offers free ferry services across the major arteries! Just drive up to the loading dock and the ferry will come across from the other side and pick you up in only a few minutes time. It is a very nice experience to get out on deck and enjoy the views as the ferry chugs across. Of course, there are also major ferry services (some of which are ice-breaking) if you have to cross major waterways in the Maritimes, such as the shortcut across the Bay of Fundy from Saint John to Digby, NS (this crossing never freezes because of its tidal action). During the summer season, harbours all over New Brunswick and the Maritimes are full of small fishing boats such as those depicted here. Boats similar to these are also used for whale watching excursions in the Bay of Fundy, the summer feeding ground for the endangered Right Whale (as well as other species).

Fredericton was the first stop of my 2002 Maritime Province Roadtrip, so it was the Trans-Canadian Highway all the way for me...

Obstetrics and Gynecology,
Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Dr. Chan is a board certified Ob/Gyn and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Dr. Chan was born and raised in Hong Kong. At 15, she moved with her family to San Francisco, where she attended Mercy High School. After earning a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Chan spent two years working in a Hematology laboratory at Harvard Medical School, where she co-authored multiple scientific publications.
Initially planning on becoming a Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist, Dr. Chan instead fell in love with Obstetrics and Gynecology during her medical school clinical rotation at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Drawn by the possibility of taking care of a woman through her adolescent to postmenopausal stage, the never-ceasing joy and wonder of childbirth, and the excitement of utilizing complex skills to perform surgery, Dr. Chan confirmed her decision to become an Ob/Gyn. After finishing medical school at Einstein, she stayed in the same institution for her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency training. During her residency, Dr. Chan was selected by medical students to receive the Leo M. Davidoff Society Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Teaching of Medical Students. At graduation, she was selected by the faculty to receive the Science Day Scientific Research Award.
After completing her medical training, Dr. Chan decided to move back home to be with her family in San Francisco. She currently is a practicing partner at Pacific Women's Ob/Gyn Medical Group and an active member of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at California Pacific Medical Center.
Besides taking care of her patients, Dr. Chan enjoys traveling, reading, attending symphonies, and practicing her newest obsession, Bikram yoga.

HP TouchPad unsold stock mountain prompts Best Buy ire
Best Buy is reportedly refusing to keep the huge, unsold stocks of HP TouchPad tablets it has in its warehouses, with the retailer said to have sold less than 10-percent of the 270,000 units it initially ordered. The company has apparently told HP that it wants to return some of that stock, AllThingsD's sources tell them, with sales that have only amounted to around 25,000 of the tablets. Another source said the estimate was on the "charitable" side and that, even with recent discounts and what has now become a permanent $100 price cut, sales are still underwhelming.

COOPERSVILLE – Threes were wild Friday evening at Coopersville as a three-pack of treys in the third quarter enabled Coopersville to break open a close game with Sparta and earn its third O-K Blue win of the season by a 45-34 score.
Clinging to a 24-20 lead midway through the third quarter of a defensive struggle, Coopersville strung together three straight three-point shots during a 90-second span to open up a 13-point lead and take command of the game between a pair of teams in the upper-half of the O-K Blue standings.
"This is a very good win in the conference for us," Coopersville coach Eric Lillibridge said. "You have Wyoming and Sparta is always solid and Belding is tough. It's a dogfight at the top of the conference and this was a big win to keep us in the mix in the conference."
Coopersville entered the game with a 2-1 league record, a half game behind both Sparta and Wyoming in the conference standings who both entered Friday with 2-0 league records.
Defense was the theme of the game from the opening tip with Coopersville up 10-8 at the end of the first quarter. Even fewer points were scored in the second quarter as the host Broncos took an 18-13 lead into halftime.
Coopersville was up 24-20 late in the third quarter before heating up from beyond the three-point arc. Sammie McCarthy hit the first of the triples at the 2:44 mark. Catrina Cornelius sank a three on Coopersville's next trip down the floor and then Sammie McCarthy drained a third trey giving the Broncos a 33-20 lead.
"We shoot a lot of threes in practice," Lillibridge said. "We are a pretty good three-point shooting team. In the first half we had a lot of good looks but we just didn't knock them down."
While Coopersville found its shooting touch in the second half, Sparta struggled with shooting the entire game.
"We just didn't make our shots tonight," Sparta coach Matt McCallum said. "We were seven of 31 (23%) on two-point shots for the game and normally we shoot 40%. We just shot the ball poorly tonight. We played ok defense, we only allowed 18 points in the first half. We average 50 points scored per game and if we shoot our normal percentage we are right in the game."
With the win, Coopersville improved to 3-1 in the conference and 7-3 overall.
Sammie McCarthy led the Broncos with 17 points and three steals. Shelby DeHaan added 10 points and nine rebounds while Stephanie McCarthy added seven rebounds.
Sparta fell to 2-1 in the conference and 5-4 overall.
Lexi Heimbaugh paced the Spartans in scoring with 12 points. Frankie Buchanan added seven points and five rebounds while Daneigh Wilde added five points.

An image of the Liberty Bell, an icon of American freedom and independence, will adorn the Postal Service's new forever stamp.
The design of the stamp was unveiled today at the National Postal Forum, a gathering of companies in the mailing industry. The forever stamp goes on sale April 12 at 41 cents. It will be available at ATMs in sheetlets of 18, in booklets of 20 through www.usps.com, by calling 1-800-STAMP-24, and Post Office vending machines, Automated Postal Centers and Post Office lobbies nationwide.
The rate for first-class postage rises to 41 cents May 14.
The stamp, which will carry the word "Forever" instead of a price, will remain valid for sending a letter, no matter how much rates go up in the future. That will eliminate the annoyance of buying one- and two-cent stamps to make up the new rate when prices rise, and folks who want to hedge against inflation could lay in a supply of the stamps for long-term use.
Research has shown that customers prefer the Forever stamp for the convenience it offers. What do you think? Sound off in the comments section below.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Alabama can move into a first-place tie with Florida on Saturday if it defeats the Gators in Gainesville, Florida.
The Southeastern Conference showdown was set up Tuesday night when Florida lost 64-58 at Tennessee.
The Gators still are in first place in the SEC with a 12-3 record.
Alabama improved to 11-4 Tuesday with a 61-43 victory over Auburn.
If Alabama beats Florida and ends the regular season tied with the Gators, the tiebreaker goes to the Crimson Tide because of a head-to-head victory. Alabama would be the No. 1 seed in the SEC tournament.
The Tide began the day tied with Kentucky (10-4) for second place.
The Florida game is one of three games Alabama has remaining in its regular season. The Tide will visit Ole Miss on March 5 and will play host to Georgia on March 9.

All a-Twitter
There are some thick clouds trying to keep the sun away, but the radar looks clear and it should be a fine day to start this series between National League Central co-leaders. No lineups yet, and it's well past time to head down to the clubhouse to ask manager Ken Macha what he plans to do with his pitching rotation to cover Monday.
If I get a lineup, I'll "tweet" it. I know many of you have already figured this out, but I have been posting on Twitter for a couple of weeks and trying to figure out the best way to use it. Instances like this, where there is good info to be had and I'm stuck in the dugout, seem to be it.

Posted on 10/01/2009 8:06:04 AM PDT by patlinEdited on 10/01/2009 9:06:48 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
In a new twist to the Washington arguments against questioning President Obama's birthplace, the senior senator from South Dakota says it just doesn't matter.
Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Jr.
In a letter responding to an inquiry from a constituent, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., says Barack Obama "is a natural born citizen of the United States regardless of the location of his birth."
(Excerpt) Read more at constitutionallyspeaking.wordpress.com ...
Click on the photo for the full exclusive
OOPS...still a rookie:
Johnson is, of course, wrong about the law that was in place at the time. She was too young.
Sounds like somebody is getting close...
But Daddy was BRITISH and that makes Obama Constitutionally ineligible!
But Daddy was BRITISH
My Daddy was British too...
Hey !!!!!!
I can be President of the United States...
Sounds consistent with that whole "the Constitution is a living document so it can be ignored at will" approach the left is using these days.
Isn't he?
LOL Not unless ya wanna go the way of Obama!
BARF! lol
And the need of a federal statute making someone a citizen is not natural born.
Liberals make up their own 'living and breathing' constitution as they go. Get with the 'Progressive program' man.
Well, at least..
I have slaves in my ancestry..
Barry Dunham-Soetoro doesnt...
Maybe Timmy means that she didn't have a C-section... /s
Brain damage.
I'd vote for you, over some of the crap the two parties keep offering up.
That's the same argument Medved used to dismiss the issue.
Doesn't surprize me at all. Until I became "educated" by reading posts on this forum, I had always thought that the child of a U.S. citizen was eligible to run for POTUS...I think most folks think that. It wasn't until I read explainations, thanks to posters here, about what "natural born" meant..and the origingal intent of the founders, that I became covinced POTUS Obama was a "citizen" but not a "natural born" one in the constitutional sense....because his father was not a U.S. citizen.
I was open to "education." Many to most are not.

His defenders will sing a different tune once Zero becomes a political liability (around December 2010). Watch for this to suddenly become an issue in about a year or so.
I guess the law don't matter either if we pound the crap out of this rogue congressman.
Civil society cannot survive if the rule of law is ignored.
Wow! Someone oews the "birthers" an apology!
This is like saying Bush never lied about WMDs, but even if he knew there were none and went in anyway it's not a big deal. The analogy is not perfect for many reasons, but I fear far more misery and destruction in Obama's America than in Iraq.
Flame away!

Nah, just another "bought and paid for whore"
"You're aware, of course, of the precedent set by Chester Arthur, whose father was an Irish citizen when the 21st President was born... Given that precedent, it seems highly unlikely that any authority would now decide that the son of a Kenyan or British citizen is ineligible now, assuming he actually was born in the US."
Someone breaking the law and not getting caught does NOT set precident. If so, then very few laws would be upheld. I'm surprised that anyone would any consider such sophistry.

Discussion in 'General Marijuana Growing' started by PlatinumKasse, Oct 15, 2007.
What is it?
THC content very's from plant to plant.
Not every plant can be the same.
Something around 12%.
YouTube - Green House Seed Co White Widow Grow with Japanese Subtitles
I heard between 20 and 25% But I figure it varies from seed bank to seed bank. From what I can gather is that each seed bank has there own version of each strain.
Greenhouse seeds created the strain and its them who have won most of the cups with it. They say that their white widow is 12% so if theres anything thats white widow and says its 20% it can't be real white widow.
25% THC sounds unrealistic.....unless they soak it in pure THC hehe. Besides, 25% would knock you out.
Alot of seed banks claim over 20% but i find it hard to beleive. I guess it could be possible if you look at the amount of trichs on some plants.
Green House seeds W.W. is a very killer strain.. I'm pleased with it...And I have quite a high tolerence to MJ been smoking daily since the 70s....
i think my ICE are supposed to be high, 20%?
depends on how u grow it
we got ours from buy dutch seeds and they said between 20-25% but, I could be wrong and so could they. we're pretty happy and yeah, hoping it's some good shit because we've been smoking daily for I don't know how long now!!! so, that shit we get on the street just gets us buzzed for like 20 minutes so hopefully this particular white widow will blow that shit outta the water. I think I smoked that nyc diesel a couple months ago. It's supposed to have a high thc content too, I think like 20 something % and It hit us good. they didn't know what to call it at the time, and my man selling it called it the haze aint shit. I still hope the widow is better though!
I lived in The Netherlands for a while and tried about 12 different strains of weed. The average THC Content of Skunk weed there, which is nothing special, is 18-19%. Orange Bud, is about 15%. None of the weed there is considered even mids. I would state that Schwags/Commerical weed is about 1-5% THC, mids is 5-15% THC, and anything 15% or higher is highs. If you think that White Widow is 12% and that Skunk is about 19 then you are TOTALLY WRONG. White Widow is one of the strongest marijuana strains, behind MK Ultra, G-13, and Kush strains. Its THC Content varies from 20-25%. That is white the buds are white; they are covered in THC Trichomes.
Both are good strains. The White Widow is 70% Indica and 30% Sativa though, and the NYC Diesel is a Sativa dominant strain; so the white widow is more of a stone high, while any diesel strain is usually a more cerebral high.
White Label White Widow is the most potent cannabis on Earth and is named for the abundance of trichomes, giving the plant a whitish tint. It is also one of the more powerful strains of marijuana (alongside AK-47 and Afghan Kush) with a very high 20%-25% THC content.
Taken from attitude
Green house was the first to intoduce the strain they had a falling out the main breeder took his strains and then started Mr. nice black widow is the only true "white widow" but they only come in reg not fem Im growing out GHS WW right now and am very pleased with it so far and i have the more short bushy pheno. But Black widow is the only true white widow i'll post up harvest pics here in another 7 weeks ahahah if you have grown out a white then post it up people Lets compare nuggets and phenos list breeder veg time and week of flower
i might be wrong..but the orig cut tested high in the 90's...but alota people who grew the older stuff swear its not the same and not as potent as it was when it came out.
Uh,guys...the amount of trichs aren't THE determining factor. in a nutshell its the % of thc in them. As you know there are many compounds in canna trichomes, hold most of the ones we are after. " But considering potency and resin concetration synonymous is wrong".Mel Frank Marijuana Growers guide revised edition.p26

North Hunterdon, behind a season-high 98.325, notched its first dual-meet victory of the season when it took down Watchung Hills (94.9) Friday night in Annandale.
The triumph was a sigh of relief for coach Jill Izzo after the team dropped its first three meets to start the season, falling to No. 9 Hillsborough, No. 4 Bridgewater-Raritan and Somerville.
"A nice win, much improved from our meet versus Somerville," Izzo said. "We still have a lot of work to do, but it's nice to get that first win of the season."
Gabby Russillo medaled on all four events, winning beam with an 8.8, en route to 34.05 points all-around. The senior added an 8.625 vault, 8.025 bars and 8.6 floor exercise. Fellow senior Emily McCoy was nearly as solid, contributing 32.05.
"Good performances on vault and beam," Izzo said, "but we still have a lot of work to do on bars. We're going to keep practicing and look to do better each meet."
Along with Russillo and McCoy, Izzo is working junior Maya Acacello slowly back from a shoulder injury.
"They're our big three, but we also have an up and coming freshman in Olivia Russillo," Izzo said. "She's one to watch for the next few years."
North Hunterdon (1-3) will look to keep the momentum rolling when it travels to Montgomery on Sept. 24.
Tornado warnings postponed Hunterdon Central's highly anticipated matchup with Lenape, No. 1 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, before Columbia cancelled its visit. The Flemington school hasn't competed in nearly two weeks.
"I hope we aren't rusty," Hunterdon Central coach Jessica Cantagallo said.
It won't have long to shake off the rust, however, with a full slate on the schedule this week.
Hunterdon Central (2-1) opened with victories over Ridge and Montgomery before falling to No. 3 East Brunswick on Sept. 13, the last time it saw dual meet action. It hit a season-high 104.025 in that meet, however, improving nearly a full point upon its previous best of 103.2 against Montgomery. Cantagallo said the team is just looking to get the team and All-State gymnast Stephanie Reid back to 100 percent.
"I am hoping to have all the girls back in full form by mid-October," she said. "We are bringing Steph back one event at a time. We started her back last week with a watered-down beam set and we are adding floor this week, hoping for vault next week. Bars will be last. Hailey is almost back with all her skills. Floor and vault are still watered-down. Maeve Stewart is one of our super talented juniors, but is still struggling with consistency. She rounds out our top three with Steph and Hailey."

The Scarlet Knights added an offensive tackle to the fold, Friday, when they accepted a commitment from Mount Olive (Flanders, N.J.) talent, Zack Heeman. The elongated offensive line prospect was under-recruited, in large part, due to geographical reasons as well as sitting out his sophomore year. Let's take a closer look at Heeman, and figure out where he projects along Rutgers' offensive line.
Projected collegiate position
Left tackle
When combining his stature along with his ability to stay in front of defenders, left tackle is the most likely projection for the 6-8, 270-pounder. Heeman is not only long, put possesses the arm length to keep defensive ends away from his body, forcing them to continually reset their pass rush. At left tackle, Heeman will be allowed to let his athletic ability take over. Playing said position is much like staying in front of a ball-handler on the hardwood; something Heeman is highly familiar with.
When watching Heeman's film with the realization that he has played only one year of competitive football, it is hard to not be impressed. Standing 6-8, he naturally swallows up high school defenders due to his rare measurables. However, it's his initial quickness more-so than his size that allows him to win most battles along the line of scrimmage. Heeman explodes off the football.
And although long and lean, he is not afraid to mix it up. He embraces contact in the trenches, and is crafty at getting to the second level to take on linebackers and stays on his blocks until the whistle. Heeman has no problem getting down-field and making plays past the initial point of attack. Heeman will get a hat on a guy in the open-field more often than not.
He displays good balance and the ability to stick with smaller, quicker defenders in space. For such a tall prospect, Heeman showcases adequate enough flexibility to fire out effectively from a three-point stance. Even after only a year of competitive football, his knack to play on his feet and adjust to sudden change of direction-type mobility is pretty substantial.
Heeman's base is solid and his leg-drive impressive, showing an aptitude for nastiness. He truly looks to finish off his blocks, and therefore, his defender. Heeman also does a good job with his hand placement and his feet are nimble. His athletic ability allows him to usually stay off the ground unless pancaking an opponent.
Heeman displays solid skills as a pass protector, shadowing defenders as he would defend a ball-handler looking to get into the lane. As he becomes more familiar with the game, his natural ability to set and slide will only continue to improve. His foot-quickness, early recognition and overall instincts make him an ideal blind-side protector.
Areas for improvement
As with most long offensive tackles out of high school, Heeman can play high at times. Although he does tend to make his first contact with the desired "flat back," there are times where he plays too tall. This usually occurs during situations where he is responsible for making a combination block, a pull or a block at the second level of the defense. A little time in the chutes (although they are fazing them out of football) would do Heeman a world of good.
Obviously, Heeman will need to add a considerable amount of bulk to his frame in order to increase his playing strength as well as overall explosion. His ideal playing weight will likely be anywhere from 315-to-325 pounds. In order to make key run blocks at the next level, he will have to be more of an imposing physical force. He needs to be able to throw pass rushers off their game with a dominant first punch. All of these things will improve as his strength does.
Lastly, I'd like to see Heeman display a bit more flexibility. The ability to bend is a premium when seeking out an elongated tackle prospect. Heeman can sometimes be found blocking defenders with his midsection due to his height. But as works with the Rutgers strength and conditioning staff, he will be able to roll his hips up underneath defenders and truly unearth them as opposed to having them take on his blocks, creating a pile-up.
Overall assessment
Heeman has a relatively clean game for a guy just becoming acclimated to live football action. This is something most offensive linemen strive for even after years of playing the offensive tackle position. You don't see Heeman sliding off blocks nor failing to make contact in space. Football plays aren't made while lying on the ground. Heeman has a knack for keeping his feet. And he maintains his arms inside the framework of the body while latching on to defenders and riding them out of the frame of the film.
As you would expect from a player relatively new to the game, there are some technique flaws, and his lack of experience and football strength are serious enough issues to keep him from competitive action, immediately. But a little stick-to-itiveness will go a long with an athlete the caliber of Heeman. I'd expect to see him making a consistent contribution by year three, and eventually realizing his All-Big Ten potential as an athletic edge protector.

Re: Teaching the names of techniques.
Thanks, Peter, that was interesting. I love hearing about the history of Aikido in little tidbits.
When I began studying Aikido I did not really pay attention to the names, No techniques seemed familiar for such a long time....I remember after about 6 months of regular practice 3 times a week noticing......" wow I have done this before". It was shomen uchi kokyu nage.
Most people start to learn the names of techniques for their first test. I think learning them was my responsibility. Perhaps (and I mean this in the gentlest way) you could take the energy you are putting into thinking that your dojo is doing it incorrectly into really listening to the names when they are stated and then repeating them to yourself. I have found that when I really pay attention, it is not so hard to remember them.

On last night's Motown edition of American Idol, fans were treated to a new side of Adam Lambert.
He was the same, talented singer as always - but gone were the theatrics, the over-the-top performances and even the leather-jacketed, crazed look of a rock star.
Lambert simply chilled on a stool, hair slicked back and sang an acoustic version of "Tracks of My Tears." It was a tremendous audition.
It also got us thinking: Which of these Lambert looks do you prefer? Let's compare below:

Ma pleased with growth of cultural exchanges between Taiwan, Japan
By Adam Tyrsett Kuo, The China Post
February 8, 2013, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- President Ma Ying-jeou yesterday met with Japanese artists at the Presidential Office and said that he was pleased to see the increasing extent of cultural exchange between Taiwan and Japan.
Although public works can spur a nation's growth, it is culture that makes a nation great, Ma said, stressing that culture is the foundation of a country.
The president said that not long after he took office in 2008, Taiwan signed a working holiday agreement with Japan and also set up a representative office in Sapporo (札幌).
A bilateral air transport accord was also established for direct flights between Taipei International Airport (松山機場) and Tokyo's Haneda Airport (羽田機場), Ma said, adding that both governments have also inked an investment agreement.
The president pointed out that the Takarazuka Revue (寶塚歌劇團) will be performing in Taiwan in April, marking the renowned troupe's first performance on the island.
Ma said that he saw the group's performance during his visit to Fukuoka (福岡) in 2001, and that the experience left a memorable impression. The president went on to say that he looked forward to Takarazuka Revue's arrival in Taiwan.
Ma added that the government aims to show the National Palace Museum's treasures in Tokyo and Kyushu (九州) next year.
The administration has been pushing for closer Taiwan-Japan relations over the past few years, which it defines as a "special partnership," Ma said, explaining that the relationship is "special" because the two sides have very close ties both trade- and tourism-wise despite not having official diplomatic relations.

GRAND RAPIDS — Angel Gonzalez looks over a new portable ethanol machine designed for farm use and wonders if it could help families in his Belknap neighborhood make low-cost "community fuel."
"It's just an idea at this point, but it has great potential to work in a green urban community like Belknap to make fuel for the community at half the going rate of gas," said Gonzalez, who is researching the efarms LLC, HE50 ethanol producer for possible urban use.
"If we could do community fuel production from grass clippings and vegetable material, this could be a great idea," said Gonzalez, owner of Grand Rapids Artisian Group LLC. He is looking at the project as a nonprofit community fuel depot.
Since the machine is designed to turn excess vegetables, fruits and other starch and sugar-based farm products into ethanol, the big problem for an urban use would be ensuring a constant flow of organic material to produce the fuel.
Not a big deal says Tom Burgess, president of efarms LLC based at 4349 40th St. SE, which is just starting to produce the machinery after two years of research and development.
"We have clients looking at producing ethanol from salad bars, cereal and bread production and even the mash from beer production at microbreweries," said Burgess, noting organic material can be found all over urban settings.
Burgess said the company will be rolling out the first 25 to 30 machines this spring for more traditional farm setting production of ethanol like corn, grain and fruit growers. The company is projecting to sell about 100 HD50s the first year with a price range of $140,000 to $150,000.
Burgess projects an 18 to 30 month payback on investment.
The 10-foot wide by 20-foot long Hydrous Ethanol machine has a capacity to produce about 1,000 gallons a week or 50,000 gallons of ethanol a year that can be used in diesel engines and flex fuel gas engines.
The company is also developing a side industry to create a conversion kit in the $200 price range for cars and trucks to use the flex fuel mixture.
The stand-alone ethanol machine, which is about 10-feet high, can fit in a 24-foot-by-24-foot pole barn and be run by a single farmer or coop farm groups. The same could be done by a community for lower-cost fuel, said Burgess.
"With the price of gas going up higher and higher, our product gets more and more exciting," said Burgess, noting cost of production should fall well below half the cost of gas or diesel.
The HE50 is primarily being marketed through news articles in the farm and industrial press and on the company website efarms-us.com. Both diesel and flex fuel are initially being sold by a national network of 20 independent sales reps, which Burgess hopes to expand this year.

Verbatim: Gigi Thompson
Sequim's Gigi Thompson, nee Giselle Payet, is a native of Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean.
She's lived on the Olympic Peninsula for more than 40 years but arrived in an unusual way.
"I was a mail-order bride," she says. Gigi, a beloved waitress at Sequim's Sunshine Cafe, recently told her story, which began with a letter to the editor of the local newspaper in Victoria, capital city of the Seychelles.
"I was 19 when a gentleman in Port Townsend saw a program on Channel 9 on the Seychelles. He went to the library and did his research on the Seychelles and mail-order brides. Then he wrote to our local newspaper, in Victoria. A friend of mine wrote back to him and signed my name to the letter.
The gentleman from Port Townsend started writing, and I asked him how he got my address. That's how I found out my friend wrote to him.
He wanted a picture of me in my bathing suit, but I was raised a good Catholic. You didn't wear a swimsuit to the beach, you wore a dress.
He sent a picture of himself, sitting in a chair.
We talked more and he asked for my hand in marriage. I told him, 'In my country, you come to my parents or you write them a letter.' So he did, and asked for my hand in marriage. Then my mom and dad, the three of us, sat in the living room. They said, 'You're of age. It's up to you.'
So I did.
No money was exchanged. He just had to sponsor me. I had all my papers, my green card. I spent three days and three nights on a liner going from Africa to New York, and then I flew from New York to Seattle. I was scared — I was terrified. The people on the plane were speaking so many different languages. I prayed the whole way.
I got into Port Townsend and eight days later married at Mount Vernon, Wash.
I was so sad, I cried the whole time.
It was the first time I would be with a man. No mom, no dad around. By that time I was 20.
I loved it (America) — all the buildings. It was amazing. I loved it ever since, especially here in Sequim.
I go back to visit, but this is my home."

New Orleans police late Friday arrested a man they say fired shots at officers who chased him through eastern New Orleans after he refused to pull over for a traffic stop.
Terrence Martin, 21, of New Orleans was booked into the Orleans Parish jail on a slew of charges, including two counts of attempted first-degree murder, a count of flight from an officer, aggravated assault with a firearm and reckless driving.
Police said Martin was also responsible for a shooting reported earlier in the night in eastern New Orleans, but no additional charges had been filed Monday, according to court records.
During his first appearance Saturday, the court found no probable cause for one of the attempted murder counts or the aggravated assault with a firearm charge. Martin remained in jail Monday on an $180,000 bond, according to court and Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office records.
According to a police report filed in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, police saw Martin driving a Pontiac Grand Prix in a "reckless manner" near Downman Road and Dreux Avenue about 11:48 p.m. A daily police log said Martin ran a stop sign at the intersection.
When officers Jehan Senanayake and Dylen Pazon flipped on their lights to pull him over, Martin accelerated and sped away, ignoring the officers' orders to stop, the police report states.
After the chase began, Martin fired a single round at the officers' cruiser, according to the police report. No injuries to the officers were reported.
Martin sped through neighborhood streets and bailed out of the car in the 4600 block of Lynhuber Street, a short distance from where police originally tried to pull him over.
Senanayake and Pazon lost sight of Martin after he ran into the neighborhood, according to the police report. K-9 units called to the area found him in the 4600 block of Francis Drive, a block behind where he hopped out of the car.
As police began their investigation into the incident, officers found a .45-caliber gun in the 4800 block of Virgilian Street, where Martin allegedly fired at the officers who pursued him.
Crime-scene investigators found that the casings from the gun they recovered on Virgilian Street matched casings found at a shooting that occurred a short time before the chase. Investigators said Martin also fit the description of the perpetrator from that shooting. Police on Monday could not immediately provide details on that incident.
Friday's arrest wasn't Martin's first run-in with the law. He pleaded guilty in January 2009 to charges of resisting an officer and flight from an officer. And the district attorney's office recently dropped a simple battery charge Martin pleaded not guilty to.

Hi everyone, I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Delaware. I'm majoring in Comm here but am dissatisfied with my classes due to size (all about 300) and broadness of the program. I'm looking to transfer to another school w/ a strong program in advertising/PR or journalism. Also, I'm trying to find some schools that offer transfer students merit based scholarships. My gpa is a 3.9 and I'm paying almost full tuition to be here. Can anyone offer any suggestions or insight? Thanks!
|By Carolyn (Carolyn) on Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 11:15 am: Edit
I transferred to Syracuse University in my junior year for comm/ad/pr and received a very good financial aid package as a transfer. Their program in advertising and pr is excellent and nationally known and having a degree from there has helped throughout my career. The other suggestion would be Boston U. or Northwestern. Good luck.
|By Realitycheck66 (Realitycheck66) on Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 07:29 am: Edit
Try University of Colorado. Good teachers and internships. Grads go everywhere -- print, broadcasting, advertising/PR.

Plaintiffs, defendants and attorneys from high profile cases to participate
Participants in some of the most famous and precedent-setting school-based free speech legal cases of the past 40 years will gather in Kansas City in September for a unique symposium sponsored by the School of Law and the UMKC Law Review.
The two-day symposium is scheduled for September 20-21 at the UMKC School of Law, 500 E. 52nd St., Kansas City.
Plaintiffs, defendants and attorneys involved in landmark cases such as Tinker v. Des Moines, Bethel School District v. Fraser and Morse v. Frederick will participate in the two-day event, as well as participants from all sides involved in Widmar v. Vincent, the celebrated case involving UMKC that was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
David L. Hudson Jr., First Amendment Scholar at the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University and author of several books on student rights, will deliver the keynote address.
"This symposium offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from litigants involved in cases that shaped the course of free speech law in this country," said Ellen Suni, dean of the UMKC School of Law.
The symposium offers CLE credits for attorneys and CE credits for educators. Admission is free for students, $50 for educators, $100 for the general public and $30 per credit hour or $245 for 10 credits for attorneys.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Huntsville's many neighborhood restaurants will remain unplugged for now.
On Tuesday, the city Planning Commission shot down a proposal to allow live music, dancing, karaoke and other forms of entertainment at restaurants in neighborhood business districts.
Huntsville Police Sgt. Mark Roberts reminded the board that the city in 2002 banned live entertainment in neighborhood business districts after being flooded with complaints about loud music and rowdy crowds.
"I sure don't want to go back to the types of problems we had prior to 2002," Roberts said Wednesday.
Despite the Planning Commission's unanimous no vote, the idea still has a faint pulse. The City Council has scheduled a Dec. 20 public hearing to get feedback from residents, restaurant owners and others.
The proposed amendment grew out of a request by Nick's Ristorante on Bailey Cove Road to bring in a violinist. Owner Nick Mikus applied for a special variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment earlier this year but was turned down.
City Councilman John Olshefski, who is friends with Mikus, then asked the planning department to consider letting neighborhood restaurants have unamplified string instruments.
But Marie Bostick, the city's manager of planning and zoning administration, said "constitutional issues" would arise if Huntsville allowed only one form of entertainment.
"When you get all the lawyers involved and the First Amendment rights, we weren't able to write it that tight," Olshefski said Tuesday.
The result: a law that would permit "cabarets, concerts, live bands, ballrooms, dance halls, comedy clubs, karaoke, theaters, disc jockeys, or other similar live performance venues" at any restaurant in a neighborhood business district.
Streets that border residential areas are zoned neighborhood business, including Airport, Bailey Cove and Patton roads, Whitesburg Drive, Jordan Lane and Andrew Jackson Way.
The proposed amendment does set some restrictions, including no entertainment after 11 p.m. and nothing loud enough to be heard beyond the walls of the restaurant.
Still, "It's not what I asked for," said Olshefski, and city planners also recommended a no vote.
City Councilman Will Culver said he intends to vote against the proposal.
"A restaurant might start out with one person playing guitar, but then the competition brings in a band and that first restaurant brings in a band, too," Culver said Wednesday. "It would just create lots of noise for residents all over Huntsville."
Even if the council says no to music in neighborhood business districts, live entertainment will still be allowed downtown as well as in areas zoned highway business, light or heavy industry, research park commercial and commercial industrial park.

Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin was selected with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, joining former PSU star linebacker Paul Posluszny with the Buffalo Bills.
Maybin, a speed rusher who earned All-America honors and led Penn State with 12 sacks, was the second defensive end selected in the draft.
LSU's Tyson Jackson was picked No. 3 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs. Texas standout Brian Orakpo went to the Washington Redskins with the No. 13 pick, and Northern Illinois' Larry English went with the No. 16 pick to the San Diego Chargers.
Maybin has questions to answer, namely in his abilities to maintain a weight in the 250-270 pound range and withstand 16 games of wear and tear in the NFL. His quickness and versatility will be assets to the Buffalo Bills, who ranked 14th in the NFL in total defense and tied for 28th with just 24 sacks.

Renew rivalry with first-place Weeks Crushers
The Amherst Ramblers hope to extend their winning streak to eight games when they face the Crushers Thursday in New Glasgow.
© File
The Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers will renew their divisional rivalry with the Weeks Crushers on Thursday in New Glasgow.
AMHERST – Win and the Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers will be that much closer to first place; lose and the job to win the division crown will be that much more difficult.
The Ramblers will be in New Glasgow on Thursday night to face the division-leading Weeks Crushers in Maritime Junior Hockey League action. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Pictou County Wellness Centre.
Amherst is five points back of the Crushers, who at 23-6-4 lead the division by four points over both Truro and Yarmouth.
"We showed the last time we played them that we can compete with them and beat them, we just have to put in a full 60 minutes," Ramblers' coach Jim Bottomley said Wednesday. "They're a highly-skilled hockey club so we have to finish our checks and take care of our own end of the rink without giving up too many quality scoring chances."
The last time the two teams met, Dec. 5 in New Glasgow, the Ramblers rallied late to force overtime before dropping a 4-3 shootout decision. Amherst nipped the Crushers 5-4 at the Amherst Stadium on Nov. 30.
The Crushers claimed the previous two games in the season series.
Amherst is coming off a sweep of weekend action in which the club nipped Summerside 2-1 on Sunday, thumped Bridgewater 7-0 on Saturday at the stadium and edged the Dieppe Commandos last Thursday.
The Ramblers, who are on a seven-game winning streak, are home to Woodstock on Saturday at 7 p.m. before travelling to Truro to face the Bearcats at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre on Sunday at 2 p.m.
"It shows how close this division is when you consider how many games we've won in a row and are still in fourth," Bottomley said. "Every game is important. Now we have a chance to make a move on the division leaders. A win and we're only three points back."
Bottomley said the club has spent a lot of time working on defensive zone coverage in preparation for this weekend's games. He's also been pleased with the work of forwards Brock Morrison, who is in a three-way tie for the league's scoring lead; Bruce Hornbrook, who had two points against Dieppe and three against Bridgewater; and Justin Thomas, who has four points in three games since coming over from Valley in a trade.

Chris Lambert might have struggled as a late-season call-up last season for the Tigers, but he has been nothing short of brilliant since his return to Triple-A Toledo.
The 26-year-old right-hander took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and recorded a career-best 11 strikeouts Tuesday en route to a 5-0 shutout against the Louisville Bats.
Lambert's bid to become the Mud Hens' first no-hitter in nearly 13 years was spoiled after Wes Bankston's leadoff double in the eighth inning.
Tigers.com, April 14: "I don't throw abnormally hard. I like to work the sinker and get ground balls," the New Hampshire native said. "My off-speed pitches, I can throw for strikes in any count. On occasion, I can strike people out. But I didn't know how many strikeouts I had until I [came out]."
Lambert threw 87 pitches, including first-pitch strikes to 19 of 27 batters.
"That's probably one of the most important things for me, getting ahead of people early," he said. "If I'm able to get that first-pitch strike, I can throw any of three pitches in the next sequence and keep my pitch count down."
To refresh your memory, Lambert made his big league debut with the Tigers last August and posted a 5.66 ERA and a 1-2 record during his short eight-game stint. He was a first-round pick by St. Louis in 2004 before joining the Tigers as part of the trade that sent left-handed pitcher Mike Maroth to the Cardinals.
The Tigers cut him Spring Training and sent him back to Toledo so he could extend himself as a starting pitcher - which appears to be paying big dividends.
"I think they really wanted me to be, I don't know whether ready is the right word, but they didn't want to put me back in the bullpen like last year," Lambert said. "They wanted me to get innings and work."
He got both on a chilly night in Louisville.
"From what I got last year, the experience up there [in the Majors], it's a little nerve-racking," he said. "Here, I get to work on 60 feet, 6 inches. That's the same whether I'm there or here. For right now, I'm just trying to do well here."

HOBOKEN -- Outliving its namesake by more than six times, the Hoboken Elks Lodge has reached its 125th year and is still going strong.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I founded The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.View all articles by Scott Adams
Celiac.com 12/27/2005 - Enjoy Life Natural Foods will
begin displaying the GFCO certification mark on all 17 of their products
beginning in December 2005. Enjoy Life has a strong commitment to the
celiac community. We hear from consumers everyday, expressing how much
difficulty they have identifying foods that are safe for their gluten-free
diet, said Scott Mandell, President and CEO of Enjoy Life Natural Brands.
We are proud to be able to provide them with the extra convenience and
safety assurance this new certification provides. Look for more information
about Enjoy Life Natural products and recipes using these
products at www.gfco.org and www.enjoylifenb.com.
Gluten-Free Certification Is HOT! The food industry is buzzing about gluten-free and GFCO.
GFCO has attended five food shows and exhibits with a total of more than 1,000 food companies since August. GIG, Shelley Case, RD and Carol Fenster, Ph.D. gave talks about the gluten-free market at three of these shows. Before we hit the show room floor, the room was buzzing about gluten-free products and gluten-free certification. The Food Allergen Labeling & Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) and data from SPINS showing that Gluten-free product sales are growing at 14.6 % is making gluten-free a high priority in the food industry. GFCO is drawing interest from mainstream and specialty companies alike.
What Has Happened Since August:
- Plant Inspections for six companies will be scheduled for early 2006.
- 52 other companies have requested applications.
- Companies interested in adopting GFCO certification come from seven
including Canada, China, Germany, Israel, Italy, South Africa, and the UK.
- GFCO has discussed the program with over 150 companies.
- Interested companies include makers of beverages, meat products,
goods, nutritional supplements, flavorings, seasonings, and more.
Want to Help? You Can
- Tell the GFCO about companies you think should certify their products.
- Tell companies that you want to see certification on their products.
- Support GIG and GFCO with your contributions and fundraising ideas.
