Famed Harvard Glee Club Appears with LA Children's Chorus Young Men's EnsemblePosted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, tags: Altadena, children, Chorale Concert
The Los Angeles Children's Chorus (LACC) begins the New Year with a bang when its Young Men's Ensemble (YME), conducted by Dr. Steven Kronauer, is featured in a joint performance with the acclaimed Harvard Glee Club, America's oldest collegiate choir, under the director of Andrew Clark, at Altadena Community Church on Friday, January 17, 2014, 8 pm. The choirs perform individually and jointly.
The Harvard Glee Club, widely considered to be the top collegiate men's choir in America, has twice performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, appeared at the Vatican under the baton of alumnus Leonard Bernstein, and has sung with the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony and the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, among other ensembles. In addition to Bernstein, the Harvard Glee Club, founded in 1858, counts many prominent Americans among the ranks of its alumni, including composers Virgil Thomson, Irving Fine, John Harbison and Elliott Carter – a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner. Non-musical alumni include Theodore Roosevelt; Franklin Roosevelt; and former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun.
LACC's Young Men's Ensemble, one of only a few in the country to serve young male vocalists with changing voices, is designed for boys who wish to pursue singing and the choral arts throughout middle and high school. It offers quality vocal and choral training along with essential tools needed to bridge the gap between treble and young men's choral singing. Established in 2009, YME features a specially tailored musicianship course and individualized vocal coaching sessions that adhere to LACC's exceptionally high standards and rigor. Among numerous highlights, YME has toured to Germany, Austria and Italy and performed with the esteemed University of Michigan Men's Glee Club.

From Taste of Mellowness sample @ Pu Ehr Shop:
Seeing Triox's Noritake cup inspired me to get my Blue Rose out of it's padded storage and use it! I tried out the 2006 Bhangtai Banna toucha from the Taste of Mellowness sample from PES. It's fabulous, love it. HATE all the extras that came with it! I tried to gently pry it apart to save the tag imbedded and ripped it. Found what looked like a hair, but was probably a nylon thread. Then I found an actual cotton thread from someone's clothing. Then I found a minuscule pebble (I hope) in the center! I realize it's probably no worse than the average Oscar Meyer Weiner. I'll still drink it despite the gruesome findings! No rodent parts (recognizable ).
It is absolutely mellow. Smooth feel, almost silky, and very clean, mild taste on the second infusion. I can barely detect a mild earthy fragrance with camphor at the end. My tongue might be ruined from years of coffee drinking, but I can hardly taste any of the camphor as much as I can smell. I know I have enough pu ehr, and i brewed one minute +/-.
Went back for a second infusion, examined the toucha to find another 2 tiny pieces of itsy bitsy minuscule rock. In the center, not around the outer or inside edge.
Forgive me, but did anyone else try and post their review on this?
DUH, Bears did. His infusion looks darker and about the same amount of tea. hmmmmmmm . . .

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (593 votes).
In short: Excellent value - never run anything quite like it, loved the river and the straw to hurdle was sheer hell but what a feeling when crossing the line! P.S. Socks going through the washing machine for the fourth time!!Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: Brillant!!!In full: Well what a brilliant day, nice crowd and plenty of Mud. This was my first time at the Slog, but it will not be my last. If you interested in going next year and it is your first time be prepared to get VERY muddy, don't expect a PB for an 8 mile race and expect have plenty of fun. Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: Gets this year's prize for the most hideous t-shirt! Seriously, a terrific soggy SundayIn full: First time I've entered this and I'll be back for more - it was brilliant. Gratuitous switchbacks, hills you had to descend on your arse, no hope of anything like a representative time for the distance. That said, on the whole it resembled nothing so much as a raucous school outing, full of giggling, filthy, deleriously happy people - thank you Bitton RR for your spectacular race!Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: If you fancy a mud spattered, trench trawling, wet-footed race - this is excellent!In full: For my first cross country race I couldn't have hoped for better weather. However, I still ended up muddied, wading through "rivers" and running across some interestingly cow poo spattered lanes!! Fantastic race, with great views, a bit of a bottleneck at the "trench of mud" and some great ups and downs!! Will be doing it next year!!Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: what a laugh. Still chuckling to myself.In full: Really enjoyed it. Completely unnecessary detours along ditches and streams. The Q for the first ditch ended any hope of a "fast" timeDate of review: November 15, 2004
In short: Very wet and muddy, pity it wasn't raining though!!In full: Second year doing this and all I can say is well done!! This was well organised with a much appreciated goody bag. I enjoyed the stretches of water that was mixed with something suspiciously smelly!! Definitely up for doing it again next year, though hopefully it will be raining or snowing next time!!Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: Quite frankly this was awesomeIn full: Never before have I lost a shoe in two foot of mud and then had to proceed to dig it out of a ditch with my hands. Great fun, superbly organised.Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: brilliant muddy day out in Glos over fileds and hills and through water - must like cow poo!!In full: Organised by Bitton RR from Bristol this is an excellent event involving loads of mud, water, fields, hills, obstacles and lashings of cow poo!! Is great fun when there has been loads of rain to make the fields boggier and the mud deeper. Well marshalled and good support especially the places where you are likely to get very wet and very muddy. A must do. Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: Tough but a great laugh.In full: Really good fun on a Sunday morning. Running through the river and next to the bridge very different as spectators cheering runners who fell in as they tried to cross. Makes a refreshing change to PB oriented road races. Really welcoming atmosphere.Date of review: November 15, 2004
In short: The most fun I've had on a Sunday morningIn full: OK do you'll need new shoes after doing this one and the sock will probably have to be binned as well. More fun that any road run you've ever completed and a whole lot muddier!Date of review: November 15, 2004

Area Police
Suspect has preliminary hearing
Dunkirk resident Timothy J. Odebralski was arrested for burglary, criminal mischief and petit larceny on Tuesday following the conclusion of an investigation by members of the Fredonia Police Department.
Odebralski had a preliminary hearing Thursday in Village of Fredonia Justice Court at which time the case was transferred to the Chautauqua County Supreme Court, based on the felony burglary charge. Odebralski was returned to the Mayville County Jail where he is being held on $25,000 cash or $75,000 property bail.
It is alleged that during daytime hours Monday, Odebralski forced entry into a locked home on Howard Street in Fredonia. After gaining entry, it is alleged he stole a nondisclosed amount of cash from the home before fleeing the scene in his vehicle. The home owner was not present at the time of the burglary but did return a short time later and contacted police.

Welcome to the Transdisciplinary Studies Program at CGU!
We are proud to be a cornerstone of the CGU experience. Our array of courses, research, and initiatives provide an integrating force for CGU students and faculty to pursue cutting-edge topics in unique and distinctive ways.
Fundamentally, transdisciplinarity is a new way of thinking and doing. Researchers need to be free to follow a problem across disciplinary boundaries. They should be empowered to draw upon the concepts and methods of other disciplines to create new solutions to industry and societal issues. And they should ask how the creation of knowledge can positively impact our most pressing contemporary problems.
Our current initiative," Big Data, Better World?", is an example of transdisciplinary thinking and doing. We are bringing together technologists, humanists, social scientists, and business leaders both to leverage the power of this new mode of knowledge creation and to critically consider its impacts on individuals and society.
We aim to inspire new ideas and actions through these activities, and we look forward to working with you!
Thomas Horan and Patricia Easton, Co-Directors
Transdisciplinary Studies Program
Since 2005, we have offered over 80 transdisciplinary courses. These courses introduce students to the practices of transdisciplinary inquiry and foster collaborations across fields and schools that would not necessarily occur in traditional single-discipline courses. Our current course offerings are:
Transdisciplinary Course Requirements for PhD Students
The Transdisciplinary Studies Program currently offers three awards to support transdisciplinary research at CGU:
All Students:
Hillcrest Transdisciplinary Awards
Ph.D. Candidates:
Transdisciplinary Dissertation Awards
Faculty Summer Research Grants

The days are long for the women of Yeumbeul, a village on the outskirts of Dakar, Senegal. But after hours of selling fruit in the market, house chores and caretaking for their families, they flock eagerly to the local community center for evening literacy classes. Among them is twenty-year old Kewe Ndiayea, who dreams of becoming a fashion designer, but was forced to leave the school at age eleven when her family could no longer afford the $2 monthly tuition. Today, literacy classes are helping her make this dream a reality, and now Kewe is determined to become the next Diouma Dieng Diakhate, the Senegalese couturier cum political activist.
The Senegal courses are part of the UNESCO Global Partnership for Girls' and Women's Education, a groundbreaking initiative launched in May 2011 that leverages public-private partnerships to address gender disparities in literacy and secondary education. According to UNESCO, the UN agency responsible for education, nearly 775 million people worldwide lack basic literacy skills and two-thirds of them are women. Girls also make up a disproportionate number of out-of-school children, particularly at the secondary level.
The benefits of teaching women to read and write are well documented. Literate women and their children enjoy better health and experience less poverty. They are more likely to participate actively in civic and political processes and make informed decisions about family finances. Sending girls and women to school also drives economic growth, not only at the local and national levels but the global level as well: a World Literacy Foundation report released in April 2012 estimated that illiteracy costs the global economy more than $1.19 trillion per year.
During International Literacy Day on September 8, we were reminded of how much work still needs to be done to accomplish the Millennium Development Goal of eliminating gender disparities in education by 2015. It's a difficult challenge that comes at a difficult time, but new education initiatives based on public-private partnerships offer a promising solution. Described as "smart aid," these initiatives draw on private companies, foundations, schools and even individual educators to offer made-to-measure programs that respond to the needs of local populations and benefit all those involved.
UNESCO's Global Partnership for Girls' and Women's Education is leveraging public-private partnerships in five African countries. The Packard Foundation supports the Partnership in Ethiopia and Tanzania. The Varkey GEMS Foundation is the primary funder in Kenya and Lesotho. And Procter & Gamble is helping finance programs in seven regions of Senegal.
Just a year after the launch, the Procter & Gamble-supported Senegal initiatives are proving highly successful. Working under the umbrella of Senegal's national literacy strategy, UNESCO has established more than 160 physical classrooms, serving more than 3,000 illiterate learners. The women and girls receive literacy instruction directly linked to income-generating activities, motivating them to put their new skills to good use.
In Tanzania, the Packard Foundation Partnership is focused on retention in secondary schools by reversing drop-outs. Young women leave school for a variety of reasons ranging from pregnancy to family issues to the need to work full-time. Through local NGOs, the Partnership is training mentors to improve retention and teach leadership and empowerment skills.
Why is private sector support so crucial to the success of the Global Partnership? First, Corporate engagement helps bring new ideas, technology and visibility to education assistance. Public-private partnerships broaden the network of resources, enabling organizations such as UNESCO to find and bring together the best participants to tackle education challenges. In Tanzania, for example, UNESCO has been able to leverage Packard's relationship with local NGOs specializing in girls' education and empowerment.
Second, private sector support provides financial support and sustainability in an era when government budgets are shrinking and development dollars are on the wane. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently found that major aid to developing countries dropped by almost 3 percent in 2011, a trend that is likely to continue in coming years.
Thanks to programs like these, companies can boost visibility, deepen the impact of corporate philanthropy, and even improve their bottom lines. Funding for the Senegal program is being provided through revenue from Always sanitary products sold in France. Specially marketed with the UNESCO logo, the products generated significant sales -- a win for both Procter & Gamble and the Partnership. The Always campaign is being expanded to markets in Scandinavia and the Balkans, providing additional funding for literacy programs.
Girls and women throughout the world have a right to access education, not just in their primary years but through the secondary level and beyond. The smart aid model can help make that right a reality, perhaps even in time to meet our 2015 target.
Patrick in Maryland writes:
"With the shock of the last destroyer's explosion still shaking the ship, the battle was now over. Gripping the controls, he strafed the ship into a slow swoop past the wreckage and towards the sun. Dropping the throttle down, he looked out of the ship interface and surveyed the wondrous sight that lay before him. He remembered all the time and effort that he had put in to getting here; the fortune, empire and fleet that had been built to achieve this moment. His heart lifted, with a
wave of emotion, as he realised that despite all he had done, nothing could compare to the ultimate prize.â€
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But, it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.†- Winston Churchill
We've just started ! :)
Jennifer in Pennsylvania writes:
I am a doctoral student, on the journey to Doctorate in Education and my background is in nursing. I am interested in women and literacy and I found your article stimulating and hopeful for the future of women. What do you see to be the impact of globalization of education expectations and health literacy of women?
Judith P. writes:
I commend UNESCO for its work in advancing education and literacy for Senegalese women. Increasing literacy and education for both men and women is vital to economic growth. Earlier this year, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) recently featured our Netketabi project in the West Bank on the OPIC blog. The project is supporting a program to help families purchase computers stocked with books and other educational materials at a discounted price, and to finance the purchase with flexible terms so that the monthly cost is as little as $10. In July, we reported that 7,500 computers had been purchased through the program. Much like your great work in Senegal, we hope that providing laptops with textbooks and other materials will help advance education for students.

Emeril's Country File Gumbo
- 1 1/2 cups Medium Dark Roux, see How To Roux, recipe follows
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 2 quarts shrimp, crab or chicken stock
- 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds, browned in a skillet, and drained on paper towels
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Dash hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
- 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
- 1/3 cup green onion tops, chopped
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup file powder, or to taste
- Steamed White Rice, for serving
Heat the roux in a medium-sized heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions, celery and bell pepper. Stir mixture until onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the browned sausage, bay leaves, Worcestershire, hot sauce, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Bring gumbo to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until gumbo is slightly reduced, about 50 minutes. (Gumbo should cook long enough for the roux flavor to mellow and for any floury taste to dissipate.)
Season the shrimp with the Essence in a small bowl. Stir in the seasoned shrimp, crabmeat, green onions, parsley, thyme and basil. Cook until shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Sprinkle in file powder and cook, stirring, 2 minutes more, or pass file at the table for guests to thicken as desired. Remove bay leaves before serving.
Serve in warmed soup bowls over steamed white rice.
3 cups vegetable oil
5 cups all-purpose flour
Place a heavy, iron Dutch oven, (or iron skillet with deep sides) over medium heat and heat the oil until just smoking. Whisk in flour, a little at a time and cook, whisking constantly, until roux becomes smooth and thick. Continue to cook, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon and reaching all over bottom of pan, until roux darkens to desired color. Be careful not to produce specs of black. The roux must remain an even color throughout process. If specs appear you must start over.
For a Light Brown Roux, cook the mixture, over medium heat for 1 1/2 hours, or until the color of peanut butter. Remove about 1 cup of the light colored roux, cool completely, and set aside for the Delmonico's Seafood Okra Gumbo.
For a Medium Brown Roux, cook the mixture, over medium heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until the color of a copper penny when ready. Remove about 13/4 cups of the medium colored roux, cool completely, and set aside for Emeril's Country File Gumbo.
For a Dark Brown Roux, cook the mixture an additional 35 to 45 minutes. The color should resemble dark chocolate when ready. Remove all of the remaining dark roux from the pan and cool completely. Set aside for the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.
Yield: about 4 1/2 cups roux
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Inactive Prep Time:
NOTE: The timings for various shades of roux will vary depending on the cooktop as well as the amount of roux made. (A smaller amount will cook in much less time.) If this is your first time making a roux, the slower you cook it, the less likely you will be to burn it. The important thing is to cook the roux to the desired color, as specified above.
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup

Intel Corp. heavily criticized microprocessors based on ARM micro-architecture during Intel Developer Forum in Taipei, Taiwan, claiming that modern smartphones could do a lot more if powered by higher-performance chips. The company even slammed Apple iPhone, a rather popular gadget, for low performance.
"The smartphone of today is not very smart. The problem they have today is they use ARM," said Pankaj Kedia, director global ecosystem programs at Intel Corp., reports ZDNet web-site.
In fact, ARM processors power 98% of all cellphones sold worldwide and currently the company is mulling about entering the market of mobile Internet devices (MIDs). In fact, Texas Instruments OMAP (Open Multimedia Application Platform) microprocessors with ARM architecture and PowerVR graphics cores already power Nokia's N770, N800 and N810 Internet tablets, which can easily be considered as MIDs, just like Apple iPhones.
Intel is trying hard to popularize MIDs that run Intel Atom x86 central processing units, claiming huge performance advantages of its chips over ARM architecture.
"If you want to run full Internet, you are going to have to run an Intel-based architecture. Intel processors achieve two to three times the performance of ARM equivalents," said vice president of the mobility group and director of strategic planning of platform architecture and software for the ultra mobility group.
According to Mr. Wall, even though Apple iPhone has advanced user interface and some other benefits over competing offerings, it is too slow, which is why demanding applications will hardly work on it.
"Any sort of application that requires any horse power at all and the iPhone struggles," said Mr. Wall.
It is logical for Intel to criticize ARM processors' low performance. However, one definite advantage that those chips have over Intel's is low power consumption. Nevertheless, Apple iPhone gadgets are often condemned for short battery life. Still, business-oriented phones by companies like Nokia offer email and Internet browsing amid much longer life without a charge.
There is always a trade-off between performance and battery life in case of mobile devices. While Intel Corp. does understand it when it comes to notebooks, it still praises only performance when it comes to handhelds.

Can drinking a lot of tea make you nauseous? I've probably had 10 cups of tea today (replacing diet coke with tea... I have a diet coke habit that needs stopped) and all of a sudden I got nauseous. I've had plenty to eat today so my stomach is not empty or shouldn't be. This happened last night, too. I'm used to high amounts of caffeine since I drink like a 12 pack or more of diet coke a day so I don't think it's the tea but I can't be sure. Oh I might have to go to the bathroom... Ugh.
I've been drinking Tazo Organic Chai all day with a few diet cokes thrown in the mix. Could it be the caffeine or is it something else?

Ed Stetzter thinks so. In a Christianity Today article, Stetzer says our fundamental rights – rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights – are getting abused. He says alarm bells should be sounding among Christians, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Our Founding Fathers saw the Bill of Rights as providing barriers against government overreach and abuse.
People (particularly people in governments with power) could not be trusted to have no checks on their power. Why? Well, some of it had to do with history. For example, a bill of rights was an English concept preceeding the American experiment. But, some of those colonists held the view because of biblical convictions about fallen nature and the need to protect rights that some might want to take away.
Yet, Christians today do not sound much like the Christians then.
While Big Brother's eyes grow stronger, some Christians just shut their eyes tighter. Perhaps if we better understood current events, we might consider their skeptical approach to the government power.

Rumblings xtra: Items that didn't make print edition
The Columbus Dispatch - September 28, 2012 09:45 AM
In the last NHL lockout in 2005, the Blue Jackets' American Hockey League farm club, the Syracuse Crunch, played a game in Nationwide Arena against the AHL Cleveland Barons before more than 13,000 fans. Jackets' GM Scott Howson told the Dispatch this week that having the team's Springfield AHL club play a similar game in Nationwide during this lockout is not in the current plans.
Manny Acta's firing as the Clevleand Indians manager seemed to indicate that Tribe general manager Chris Antonetti will return, which probably means the same thing for struggling starter Ubaldo Jimenez.
The Indians have a $5.75 option on the erratic pitcher that Antonetti will undoubtedly exercise; he traded the team's top two pitching prospects – Drew Pomeranz and Alex White – to the Rockies for him at the 2011 trade deadline. Antonetti would doubtless want to hang onto to Jimenez in hopes that the team's coaches could straighten him out and justify the high cost of the deal.
A new general manager might hang onto Jimenez, but he wouldn't have the same incentive. Except for an occasional good start, Jimenez's performance in Cleveland – he is 9-17 with a 5.55 ERA this season -- hasn't reminded anyone of the guy who went 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA in Colorado in 2010. A new GM might decide that the money would be better spent elsewhere.
A planned Thursday through Sunday sale of items belonging to former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler at an Ann Arbor, Mich., home was called off, reportedly due to a disagreement with an area neighborhood association. Aaron's Estate Sales organized the sale, which was to include the coach's first desk and autographed memorabilia, for Schembechler's son, Matt. The Detroit News reported that no new date for the sale has been set.

MnDOT's 20-Year plan reflects lack of funding, not priorities
To the editor:
MnDOT is currently hosting meetings across the state to preview their 20-year State Highway Investment Plan. At the meetings held in Rochester and Mankato, participants were frustrated to see that the Department has very little planned for the completion of Highway 14. Along the entire 85 mile stretch from Rochester to New Ulm, it appears the only planned expansion project is the segment from North Mankato to Nicollet in 2018 – as was committed to by Governor Dayton last year. As the Department heard from meeting attendees, this plan does not match the priorities of the citizens of Highway 14 communities nor does it address the economic development and safety needs of our region.
I understand that this plan was developed to spend existing revenues and that these sources of funding have declining buying power into the future. I also understand that the framework of the 20-year plan has changed due to federal requirements and individual projects are only listed for the first seven years. I also understand that it is now possible for projects to be added into the plan should additional funding become available. However, the omission of the completion of a four lane Highway 14 corridor from Rochester to New Ulm shows that this plan is out of touch with the actual priorities of the citizens. I'm confident, that if asked, nearly every business person from Rochester to New Ulm would say that completing Highway 14 is the most important project that MnDOT could undertake in the next 20 years.
Let's be honest about the 20 year plan. It spends the money we have, not plans for the infrastructure we need. This document is clear evidence of the need for additional transportation funding. The Legislature and Governor could not come to an agreement on a transportation investment this past session. The deficiencies in this plan are a battle cry to get it done next year.

Great Price
Posted by Reviewer1581364 on Mar 17, 2012
I've been using Kelp noodles for a while since I've turned to a raw food diet. I make raw Pad Thai and Pesto mainly and I'm happy with this product. I couldn't have it too often though because I used to pay up to AUD$10.50 per pack in Australia! Thanks iHerb for the great price. Tip: you need to wash and rinse them when you get them out of the pack. Then soak them in water with lemon juice and some tamari/nama shoyu or Braggs liquid aminos for approx 3 hours to soften them, or else they are too crunchy and nothing like a noodle. You can then rinse them if you like, to get rid of those flavours if they don't go with your dish. The people who don't like them just don't know how to prepare them, because they taste exactly like any other noodles when prepared as above. They should really have instructions on the packet!
So yummy!
Posted by Reviewer2874534 on Jan 29, 2015
I could not be happier with these noodles. They make a delightful addition to stir fry. I rinse well, then soak in a brine of water with salt and lemon juice. When ready to use (I can get about 3 servings out of a package), I heat the noodles up with some coconut aminos or add right into a stir fry. Leftover noodles store indefinitely in the fridge in the aforementioned brine. Zucchini noodles are great for Italian dishes, but for Asian, these noodles cannot be beat! If this review has helped you make a more informed choice, please hit "yes" below!
Posted by Reviewer3236571 on Aug 07, 2011
I really like these noodles, but there are two things to note: They are made from kelp, which is great for most of us. However, those with hyPERthyroidism and those with Hashimoto's may notice side effects if you eat the whole package at once (like I do). The other thing to note is that letting these cook for a few minutes or sit in your sauce for 20 minutes or more will soften them; before doing so, they're on the crunchy side.
Posted by Reviewer2615008 on Oct 19, 2011
Love them! Others have suggested soaking them in lemon juice to soften but I think that makes them taste like a bowl of lemons as they have no flavor on their own. I recommend simmering them in water with some herbs for about 15 minutes while preparing the rest of the recipe. I will definitely continue to order Kelp Noodles!
Posted by Reviewer1299053 on Oct 19, 2011
These are delicious, heard some complaints about the crunchiness, but I soaked in water with cider vinegar for 30 minutes and this gave them a great texture, I love these noodles.
Helps with weight loss
Posted by eathealthy on Jun 29, 2013
My husband is using for weight loss due to low calories in large serving. They are a nice change from wheat noodles, soak with a little lemon juice/water to soften prior to eating. If you like my review check out my page by clicking eathealthy in blue above to see reviews of all the products I have purchased from iHerb!
Worth a try if you have spare cash!
Posted by Supplementsdiy on Nov 17, 2013
Kelp noodle is low in calorie and high in trace minerals. Trace minerals are necessary for many metabolic functions and we will not be able to function at optimum level without them. This kelp noodles is quite "snappy" and crunchy if you eat it without softening it. Boiling helps a bit but does not soften completely. The best way to soften is to soak in acidic solution like lemon juice or vinegar for some time to completely soften it but the kelp noodle will end up tasting sour so it might/might not be suitable for certain style dishes. Low calories also mean that I will get hungry again pretty soon. This is definitely value for money as you pay for 340g of solid kelp without any solution. Check out my page for more reviews!
Not that tasty.

My favorite product of all time. So great with a cashew cream, or peanut/satay dressing with fresh vegetables :)
Great for Asian dishes and salads
Posted by Reviewer2917570 on Jul 21, 2012
I use these in my sea vegetable salad. Combine with sliced cucumber, dulce, dried cranberries, sliced mandarin oranges, sea salt to taste and some asian sesame salad dressing. Makes a great light dinner. These noodles don't have any taste, but blend wonderfully with other flavors of a dish. They are soft, yet crunchy on the inside. Very different and a great way to add something new to your diet.

Unbelievably tasty. By far the best I have made yet. Sauce was a 28oz can rushed tomatos drain and strained. That went over the spinach. Then a 28 oz can whole tomatoes pureed with fennel seed. Dried oregano/basil. Table spoon of strawberry jelly. Garlic salt. And 1 small can of paste. Spooned on to fill the top.
Boy, and you'd never even believe there was that much sauce on that little pizza. Bob
1st attempt at pan pizza. Or is it detroit? Not sure what to call it. Poolish 24 hour cold rise.
It looks great to me. Nice job!
I think that's the best looking pie in the whole thread!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Enjoyable race at an unusual distanceIn full: Excellent organisation by Yaxley. Cars ferried you from the car park to the race HQ and were waiting by the race HQ to whisk you back there. Well done Yaxley, this was a really nice touch - and gave runners the chance to discuss their efforts over the race. Could let you walk back and advertise it as a cool down but the free shuttle was a very nice touch.Decent course, went there fearing the worst from reviews but I thought it was playful rather than demanding, the hills were cheeky rather than beastly. It is undulating though and not flat, you tend to either be heading up or down nearly the entire time.Great spring marathon training race, excellent bright technical t-shirt on completion and overall well worth the drive from South Norfolk for my 15M debut.Date of review: February 26, 2013
In short: Great first ever marathon in a fine cityIn full: Good course, my first marathon but can safely say I've run far hillier halfs and what not. I thought the course had it's moments and some of the coastal scenery was nothing short of brilliant.Very warm on the day but no shortage of drink stations and no problems with running out of water as far as I could tell. Friendly locals with hosepipes, kids with super-soakers, you name it, if someone could wet you with something they would. Fantastic local support and especially towards the latter stages when I was beginning to wilt in the heat! Couple of drum bands on route which I loved, was fantastic and really lifted the spirits. Good organisation, no problems with the finish - a bit better signage is a small gripe.Overall a great place for a visit and a marathon. Even though it's a long old way from Norwich I can't say for sure that I won't be back sometime. Loved my marathon debut, a return is most definitely not out of the question.Date of review: May 29, 2012
In short: Great event with a couple of nice climbs thrown in!In full: CONAC do put on a decent race and this one is no exception. Great marshalling, good race HQ and a good medal and goody bag make this a good race. Earlier start time of 9am didn't deter plenty of spectactors from turning up. Not ideal PB territory because the climbs can catch you out but I run this route near enough every week because it's right by my work so I was well prepared. The finish on a gravel car park is not ideal as I nearly went over hitting the sharp turn in to it at speed but can see why they have to do it. Well worth entering, fills up every year.Date of review: April 18, 2012
In short: Great local race with some proper hills!In full: It's only six miles down the road for me so I really enjoy Bungay half and have done it twice now and will be back in 2013. From one year to the next I forget how steep the hills are in the first half! It's a joy when it flattens out at halfway, but the climbs do give way to some gorgeous scenary. Pockets of really good local support, especially past the pubs! Half marathon sold out this year so it's getting more and more popular, well done Bungay Black Dog Running Club.Date of review: April 18, 2012
In short: Decent undulating course, look out for the hill before the finish!In full: Good race this at a distance I've never tried before having run 10k's and HM's. Great way to start January off and spare a thought for those marshals stood out in the cold - would much rather be running in weather like today!Decent mix of club and non-club members and plenty of differing abilities running on very quiet roads. A fair few hills caught me out a little today but they added to the enjoyment.Will be back in 2013 that's for sure.Date of review: January 29, 2012

My dog has strong HD in both hips, and my vet told me to use cosequin DS on a daily basis. Since these pills were really expensive in Norway ( about 230 $ for 210 pills ), I started searching online after the pills. Came across these, and wanted to try them. Better price, and based on the description, stronger. He daily gets 2 pills, and his hips seems better. My 8 year old dog is now jumping around like a 2 year old :) I love my dog, and I don´t want him to suffer. So I would have changed back to cosequin if I didn't believe that these pills actually works. So i´m going to give him these pills for the rest of his, hopefully, long life =)

Regularly gave this to my dog for about 4 weeks and then he caught yeast infection first in his years and then in the groin area! It brake out really bad (producing pus) and the dog was in pain from the itchiness. It was bad enough to see a vet. The vet confirmed it as an yeast infection and suggested 2 medical shampoo treatments per week until the area of infection is healed. This product actually contains brewer's yeast which is definitely NOT an ingredient you want to pump up in your dog(s) and it was the obvious cause for my dog's yeast infection. I wish I had been more careful when I bought this product. I ended up paying 110 USD for vet appointment + the treatment and I hope I don't need to take any further treatments to cure this infection. STEER CLEAR of this product!!! Seriously!
Amazing product! please do not discontinue
Posted by 4677562433498511956 on May 12, 2016
This product is so amazing and it works so well for my dog who was limping for months due to patella, did not want to proceed with the surgery advised by vets as we were worried about the side effects, unsuccessful rate and of course the few thousand dollars medical bills. so decided to try on supplement hopefully it can help my poor baby and this works! Just within a month is consumption, my dog was able to even run~ probably even faster than before.. :) Totally a satisfied fur mum here who swear by this product! So please do not discontinue, i would want to continue buying for my baby. Thank you!

Mi perro lo toma hace 6 meses y la mejora ha sido muy evidente. El veterinario nos recomendó un producto que costaba 4 veces más para su artrosis. Encontré estas pastillas y fuí al veterinario a enseñarle la web y la formulación antes de comprarlas. Me dijo que eran muy buenas y se apuntó la página para recomendarla a otros pacientes. También me dijo que en USA el tema de los ingredientes y formulaciones está mejor controlado que en europa.
It really helps.

I've been giving my dog these tablets for months now. She's a big dog and is getting older so her hips and joints have been hurting - these tablets really help. She's much more spritely and mobile and even enjoys running around with my 2 yr old dog again.

Access to Medicines Regime

Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, night has already fallen in much of Africa. Another day has passed and another 14,000 people have died needlessly from infectious diseases for which medicine is readily available, just not for them.
It is mostly grandmothers who care for the dying and who are left to piece together the shattered lives that remain. They tell us through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, Canadian women devoting incredible energy in solidarity with their African sisters, that Canada's access to medicines regime, which was supposed to make more drugs available, is not working.
UNICEF, Oxfam, Canadian Crossroads International, Results Canada and the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network all agree and have called for the changes set out in my private member's Bill C-393. I urge all members to vote for this bill to ensure that we fix Canada's access to medicines regime and get Canadian drugs moving to save lives.

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week I witnessed something that I never expected would happen. The Bloc voted to prevent me from obtaining a document in French even though they are always going on about protecting the French language.
The Bloc obviously forgot to keep up the pretence. Its fine words disappear without a trace but the written record remains.
I am a parliamentarian and, like all Canadians, I have the right to obtain English government documents translated into French. When I raised the matter, the Bloc leader laughed at me and ridiculed me. I would like a formal apology from the Bloc.
I am not sure which Quebec the Bloc leader claims to represent, but it is certainly not my Quebec. I would go so far as to say that Quebeckers trust the Conservative government to preserve the rights of francophones.

Thierry St-Cyr Jeanne-Le Ber, QC
Mr. Speaker, in his new guide "Discover Canada", the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism points out that Quebec is a nation and that the majority of its population is francophone. However, there is not a word to new immigrants about Bill 101 and the requirement to send their children to a French school.
This guide also completely omits the fact that new arrivals have to learn French first in order to settle in Quebec. A unanimous motion in this Parliament clearly indicates that is the case.
Instead, the guide goes on at length about the Queen, even describing her as "the focus of citizenship, ... guardian of Constitutional freedoms, reflection of our history and an encouragement for Canadians to give their best to their country".
How shocking. Instead of promoting an obsolete institution to which Quebeckers have no allegiance, the minister should be reminding immigrants that in Quebec we live our lives in French.

Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, Grey Cup fever is in the air. The final match of the CFL playoffs is being held this Sunday.
The melon heads are sure to turn out in droves at Calgary's McMahon Stadium to cheer for Saskatchewan's pride and glory, the Roughriders.
To challenge them, Montreal is sending its Alouettes. While I mean no disrespect to the Roughriders, I think they will find the Alouettes not so friendly.
Last night the Alouettes quarterback, Anthony Calvillo, received the CFL outstanding player award for the second consecutive year and the third time in his career.
It will mark the 97th occasion Lord Grey's silver is at stake and as it does every year, it promises to be an epic battle.
The stakes are high. The mayors of Regina and Montreal have made their bets. The losing mayor must wear the winning team's jersey at a city council meeting and fly the winning team's flag in front of city hall.
Go, Als, go.
Liberal Party Fundraising
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, after the Liberal decade of darkness this government has invested in the Canadian armed forces because we support our troops, not because of political gain, but out of national pride. That is why it is shameful the Liberal leader would show such calculated cynicism by fundraising on the issue of detainees.
Even the Liberal member for Vancouver South, when asked if this was appropriate, said unequivocally, "No, it's not".
When the Liberal leader fundraises on the backs of our soldiers and their sacrifices, it proves what we have been saying all along: He is in it for himself.
We will not stand idly by while the Liberal leader tries to score political points by smearing our soldiers in this House or anywhere else in this country.
There will be more questions today about our soldiers and our military leadership, but the real question now is are the Liberals asking these questions to help, or are they asking these questions to fill the Liberal leader's war chest?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, in 2006 the United States Department of State noted a human rights report in which authorities allegedly continued to routinely torture and abuse detainees. Torture and abuse consisted of pulling out fingernails and toenails, burning with hot oil, beatings, sexual humiliation and sodomy.
A year later the United Nations Secretary-General told the Security Council that initial findings noted that ill treatment and torture had been used to force confessions.
Would the minister not at least agree that in 2006 reports of widespread abuse were available to the Government of Canada?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, we have always been perfectly clear. When military and diplomats have been presented with credible, substantiated evidence, they have taken the appropriate action.
Canada instituted an enhanced arrangement with Afghanistan over two and a half years ago. The agreement replaced the inadequate prisoner transfer agreement that was left by the previous government. That is why we established this agreement. That is why we took action.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, what the minister would now appear to be saying is that in 2006 there were problems, which is exactly what Mr. Colvin was saying, which is exactly what others were saying.
However, the problem is that it was not possible for Canada to investigate independently any allegations. Department of Foreign Affairs officials said "We don't investigate allegations. We record them".
In light of that fact, could the minister explain why it took a year and a half for his government to develop the political will to finally get the evidence?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, we have now heard testimony from three respected generals, three Canadian heroes, three of the country's highest-ranking military officers. We have heard from a senior diplomat. These generals and the diplomat have thoroughly rejected the allegations that have been made against them, that the opposition parties were just too eager to believe.
What is incredibly regretful is that the Liberal Party has tried to use this issue to raise funds in $25, $50 and $100 denominations. That is wrong. That does not serve the interests of our troops. Frankly, the Liberals should be ashamed of themselves.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the problem with the minister's answer is very simple. The government has all the information and is refusing to give it to us. We do not have access to the documents we need to find the truth.
So far, it is clear that the government is refusing to disclose the information and also refusing to face a huge problem, which is that for more than a year, the Canadian government did not conduct an investigation, but just tried to record—

Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. Government officials have provided and will continue to provide all legally available information. Yesterday in committee we heard from David Mulroney, a well respected senior public servant. We heard from three Canadian heroes, Generals Hillier, Gauthier and Fraser, who have called these allegations ludicrous.
We have one single priority when it comes to our armed forces and on this issue. It is to support and protect our men and women in uniform. We will not go on a political fundraising drive by maligning our men and women in uniform. That is shameful.
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Brian Murphy Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, the government is making false claims that there is no proof that Afghans detained by the Canadian Forces were tortured.
Yet Mr. Colvin clearly stated that because of the nature of the detainee transfer system, it was not possible to make such a claim.
The Red Cross confirms what Mr. Colvin said, and yesterday, David Mulroney confirmed it as well.
When will the government finally admit that Mr. Colvin, the Red Cross and Mr. Mulroney are right?
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, two and a half years ago when we fixed the flawed, inadequate arrangement left by the government opposite, we then went about investing in and improving the Afghan justice system. Nobody has ever said there were not any problems.
Let us look at what Mr. David Mulroney had to say, not the partisan attacks, not an attempt to politicize the issue. Here is what he said: "I can say we have no evidence that any Canadian transfer of detainees was mistreated.... We never, ever transferred anyone if we thought there was a substantial risk of torture. We knew there were problems in the Afghan system, but we developed a robust monitoring system".
Those are the words of a respected diplomat doing the work, not partisan--

Recently designated Development Educator Michelle Wallace, finance manager with COPOS CU in Trinidad & Tobago (TT), chose to create the Financial Reality Fair as her project upon graduation from CaribDE (Development Educator). The Connecticut International Partnership Committee donated a reality fair template based upon the Connecticut program. Volunteers from credit unions in Connecticut worked with Wallace to adapt the program for TT youth.
Going to Trinidad to assist with the inaugural Fair were: Joanne Todd, CEO, Northeast Family FCU, Manchester; John Keet, CEO, Personal Care America FCU, Trumbull; Carol Bayreuther, CEO, Hartford (Conn.) Healthcare FCU; and Barb Bass, vice president, Credit Union League of Connecticut. Keith Wiemert, CEO, Seasons FCU, Middletown, and Kathy Chartier, CEO, Members CU, Cos Cob, who were in Trinidad attending the CaribDE program, stayed and also assisted the partner credit unions.
CUNA Mutual's Gerry Singleton--also a recent CaribDE graduate and volunteer at Financial Reality Fairs during the Credit Union National Association's Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington D.C.--joined in to assist.
"This Financial Reality Fair was a success on so many levels," Chartier said. "Cooperation among cooperatives, collaboration between international partners, the Connecticut Reality Fair Program going global with adaption, and a CaribDE completing her project--it all came perfectly together. Bottom line: the biggest success was bringing financial education to the youth of Trinidad and Tobago."
COPOS CU, Neal & Massey CU, and CUNA Mutual Carib partnered to bring the fair to 140 students from six schools in the Port of Spain area. Several other Trinidad credit unions and their business partners, joined to bring the experience to TT students.
"The opportunity to experience a cooperative and collaborative reality fair with credit unions in Trinidad was fabulous," said Bayreuther, whose Trinidad partner credit union, San Fernando Community CU, sent four volunteers to assist in the fair. "The kids were so excited and it was obvious that they took the purpose of the fair very seriously."
The National Credit Union Foundation, through its REAL Solutions program, champions experiential financial learning programs such as reality fairs. It hosts the reality fair at the GAC.

The gathering was devoted primarily to the topic of colon cancer, recognizing Kentucky's remarkable reduction of cancer incidence and mortality since 2001 and making plans for future work in the district.
Debra Armstrong, Director for the Kentucky Cancer Program (KCP) East, presented "Blue Star Awards" to ten individuals and organizations for their community service in colon cancer screening, outreach and education.
Receiving awards were: American Cancer Society (Charlotte Brewer), Lake Cumberland Friends (Connie Casada), Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital (Susan Wilson), Lake Cumberland Cancer Treatment Center (Kenny Hill), Pulaski County Extension (Edith Lovett), Somerset Community College (Jeff Brickley), Lake Cumberland District Health Department (Peggy Tiller), Brenda Jobson, MD (Nancy Lucero), Cumberland Gastroenterology (Samir Cook, MD) and colon cancer survivor Sharon Whitehead, SCC Dean of Arts and Sciences, who has spoken throughout Lake Cumberland about her journey from cancer diagnosis to survivorship.
"As a person who ignored the recommendation about colon cancer screening at age 50 and then was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 53, I have become an advocate of early detection and prevention," said Whitehead. "While the radiation and chemotherapy treatments I received saved my life, I had to endure months of the negative side effects. I would recommend to anyone who is having colon issues or who has reached the age of 50 that he/she schedule a colonoscopy. Then if any pre-cancerous polyps are discovered, they can be painlessly removed before they become cancer. As a colon cancer survivor, I cannot help but think of those who were diagnosed at the same time as I who did not survive because their cancers were more advanced. To honor their memory, I speak out today to encourage others to go for baseline screening."
Lake Cumberland Cancer Consortium is a group of health, business, community, educational groups, individuals and cancer survivors from the ten county area who collaborate on cancer control activities in their local communities.
For more information or to get involved in the consortium's community based activities, contact any consortium member or Gloria Sams, either by email at: email@example.com or by phone at (606)875-1442.

Do you love food and movies? Then this is the best event for you. The 2nd Tokyo Food Lovers Film Festival is currently running in Tokyo. They are playing 17 "delicious films" from all over the world, which have really memorable food scenes. For example, "Kramer vs Kramer". What food? Of course, French Toast! Who does not know the famous scene?
Well, obviously I can not go to this film festival... So I asked myself what movie I'm gonna pick ??? The most memorable food movie for me is definitely "Tanpopo". I believe I watched the movie when I was 10 or so, but I still remember some of the food scenes vividly. Awesome Omurice, Chinese drunken shrimp, Ramen, Fried rice... If some of you guys have never watched this movie yet, yes you MUST watch this!!
tanpopo has gotta be one of the best japanese movies ever. def second the motion.
do you think so? yay! I just watched a few scenes @ youtube. oh my, it is still awesome even thought it came out 25 years ago.

Background Chronic stress is associated with cardiovascular diseases, but the link with stroke has not been well established. Stress is influenced by life-style habits, personality type and anxiety levels. We sought to evaluate psycho-physical stress as a risk factor for stroke, while assessing gender influences.
Methods Case-control study. Cases: patients (n=150) aged 18–65, admitted consecutively to our Stroke Unit with the diagnosis of incident stroke. Controls: (n=300) neighbours (paired with case ±5 years) recruited from the census registry. Study variables: socio-demographic characteristics, vascular risk factors, psychophysical scales of H&R (Holmes & Rahe questionnaire of life events), ERCTA (Recall Scale of Type A Behaviour), SF12 (QoL scale), GHQ28 (General Health Questionnaire). Statistical analyses included conditional multiple logistic regression models.
Results Mean age was 53.8 years (SD: 9.3). Compared with controls, and following adjustment for confounding variables, significant associations between stroke and stress were: H&R values >150 OR=3.84 (95% CI 1.91 to 7.70, p<0.001); ERCTA (values >24) OR=2.23 (95% CI 1.19 to 4.18, p=0.012); mental SF12 (values >50) OR=0.73 (95% CI 0.39 to 1.37, p=0.330); psychological SF12 (values >50) OR=0.66 (95% CI 0.33 to 1.30, p=0.229), male gender OR=9.33 (95% CI 4.53 to 19.22, p<0.001), high consumption of energy-providing beverages OR=2.63 (95% CI 1.30 to 5.31, p=0.007), current smoker OR=2.08 (95% CI 1.01 to 4.27, p=0.046), ex-smoker OR=2.35 (95% CI 1.07 to 5.12, p=0.032), cardiac arrhythmia OR=3.18 (95% CI 1.19 to 8.51, p=0.022) and Epworth scale (≥9) OR=2.83 (95% CI 1.03 to 7.78, p=0.044).
Conclusions Compared with healthy age-matched individuals, stressful habits and type A behaviour are associated with high risk of stroke. This association is not modified by gender.
