Comments: I've worn New Balance shoes for many years, including precursors to the 656, and all have been great
until the 656. The laces cut into the top of my foot, either due to the style or the thinness of the tongue. I've tried skipping the
top holes when lacing, but this doesn't provide enough support.
From: Mike, 12/12
Comments: These are the worst shoes I've bought for tennis. These shoes are worse than the cheap Nike shoes with
bad ankle support. These shoes have no ankle support, top support, and hurt my feet only after 30 min of play on clay. I wish I
could return them but they were used for 30 min on clay. These shoes make great walking shoes but are not worth the price.
From: David, 12/12
Comments: A note on size and fit: These being wide shoes I had to try lower
sizes than my usual 10.5. Finally size 9 4E seemed like a perfect fit for me so this is what I'm
going to order now from TW.
From: Sushanth, 9/12
Comments: Finally, a great-fitting, sharp-looking shoe with a wide forefoot that won't break the bank! After using
this shoe for a couple of months now, I am finding it extremely comfortable both on and off the court. My 12-4E feels roomier
than the CT1004/CT1005 models, and is very stable. The pleasing color above the toe box not only hides dirt well but also adds
a bit of pizazz. Thank you New Balance!
From: Andy, 8/12
Comments: I have really wide feet for their length (size 9 4E). This is the only tennis shoe
I've found that doesn't destroy my feet playing racquetball. Literally every other shoe
smashes my pinky toe into the side wall, which is especially brutal after hours of hard
stops and cutting. This shoe is amazing. Light, with great lateral support. And it just
feels completely natural. Finally a toe box that's big enough. Works great on the
racquetball courts as well. Non-marking. I don't feel that I've lost anything by doing
without gum rubber.
From: Josh, 7/12
Comments: I have broad feet, and this shoe fits perfectly. Finally a shoe that fits! You should try it on before
making an online purchase because it feels very different (additional "feet room" I never had). Unlike my old shoes, after playing
for two hours, it doesn't feel warm at all. Good job NB!
From: Jeff, 7/12
Comments: Perfect for my feet. The soles are cut to be wider in forefoot than any other New Balance shoes. It lets
feet breath and there's no cut off of blood flow.
From: Anon, 7/12
Comments: I bought this shoe looking for a lighter weight version of New Balance CT1004. This shoe is super wide!
I've been wearing New Balance shoes for over 15 years. Always buy size 9 4E. This shoe is built on the same last as the CT1004
(MX001) but is at least 2 width sizes bigger.

Ghee Clarified Butter
Posted by KiMaLi on Apr 26, 2013
Ghee is typically used in India. I started using Ghee a couple of years ago to help prevent tooth decay. 1/4 teaspoon of Ghee with 1/4 teaspoon of high quality Cod Liver Oil three times per day will help alleviate tooth decay. I avoided a root canal as a result of following this recipe. Plus my sensitive teeth issues have pretty much been eliminated altogether. I do find Ghee to be kind of greasy and it sort of has a funny taste to it, so to alleviate these issues I just put it in a smoothie. Then you don't really taste either of them. It has had amazing results for me. I have found that IHerb has a very reasonable price on Ghee 4 - 5 dollars cheaper than what I was paying for it locally. So now I'm purchasing it through IHerb. I'm sure Ghee has many other useful purposes as well. If you found this review to be helpful please click the yes button. Remeber to check out the daily and weekly specials for more terrific savings. Have a good day.
Very good quality, yummy and healthy!

Great ghee
Posted by Reviewer2224721 on Apr 14, 2011
I use this all the time in my cooking and it's a very pure ghee with a high smoke point. Much easier to use than regular butter and a must for Indian cooking.
Posted by Reviewer1362253 on Aug 16, 2011
This ghee has it all, organic, 100% grass fed cows, nice flavour, beautiful colour and great to use in all my cooking. A bit strong for toast but that is the only minor down side for me. I love it.
Great product!!
Posted by AnnaLL on Apr 24, 2013
I have dairy protein intolerance, and I can use this product, no problem. Tastes great and stable at high temperatures (therefore more healthy to use for frying than most oils:)

Hand Scraped Hickory Kitchen
If trees portrayed human temperaments, Hickory would be the envy of the species.
Hickory is tough and handsome, with a tensile strength that rivals steel and a surface appearance admired by woodworking purists and cabinetmakers. Our Hickory hardwood flooring is sourced exclusively from the upper reaches of the Appalachian Forest, where the short summers and cool climate provide for its substantial heartwood content so you will notice far less variation than other Hickory in the industry.
When we craft a Hickory floor, contrasting color tones come through from the lighter blonde sapwood and darker brown heartwood to create a very interesting pattern from board to board. Hickory is one of the most versatile floors that we make, so clients can choose to grade the floor for less variation, or use a stain to create a more consistent color tone. It has graced the modern California bungalows and rustic lake-side retreats.

The Burundi dancers are known for their graceful yet athletic moves.
The Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi, one of the greatest percussion ensembles in the world, will give a performance at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2 in the Education and Humanities Theatre at Delaware State University.
The performance is free and open to the public.
The dancers and drummers – which come from the African country of Burundi – will share their sacred rhythms and dance, which have been passed down through many centuries and preserved in this performing art form. Their performances are born of ceremonies, such as births, funerals and the enthronement of kings.
The performing group uses a variety of large drums.
In Burundi (east-central Africa), drums are sacred and represent, along with the king, the powers of fertility and regeneration. As the origins of their performances are shrouded in ancient legend and mystery, the Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi channel the energy and creative spirit of a nation through these drums and the rituals surrounding them.
The group utilizes a variety large drums – Ingoma – that are made from hollowed tree trunks covered with skin. The thunderous sound of the drums with the graceful yet athletic dance that are joined together in this masterful performance represents an important part of Burundi's musical heritage.

During the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2009, Bob Muglia, president of the Server and Tools Business at Microsoft Corp., announced the business and partner model for the company's Windows Azure platform.
"What's unique about the Windows Azure platform is that Microsoft manages the complexity, which allows partners to focus on what matters most for their business – building innovative services solutions and driving new revenue. This can drive down total cost of ownership by up to 60%for certain workloads during a three-year period," said Bob Muglia, president of the Server and Tools Business at Microsoft.
Windows Azure platform includes a cloud services operating system, a Web-based relational database in Microsoft SQL Azure, and connectivity and interoperability with .NET Services. The Windows Azure platform delivers a rich development experience, automated service management and pay-as-you-go pricing — all backed by service-level agreements and support.
As noted in Muglia's keynote speech, Microsoft will offer Windows Azure, SQL Azure and .NET Services for purchase through a consumption-based pricing model, allowing partners and customers to pay only for the services that they consume. Microsoft partners also will benefit from special promotional offers and discounts that will help enable partners to bring solutions to market faster, reduce IT complexity, and increase revenue opportunities.
To support partners' and customers' complex business needs, Microsoft introduced a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, enterprise-class guarantee backed by a service-level agreement that covers service uptime, connectivity, and data availability for Windows Azure, SQL Azure, and .NET Services.
Microsoft also announced pricing for the consumption-based model, offering partners and customers a clear and simple pricing structure that uses a few meters to track overall usage and allows for predictable payments without sacrificing flexibility and control. Partners and customers can leverage this type of pay-as-you-go pricing to optimize cloud elasticity and reduce barriers to entry.
As part of the Microsoft Partner Network, partners receive an additional 5 percent promotional discount on Windows Azure compute, SQL Azure and .NET Services. As an added benefit of MSDN Premium, Microsoft also announced that it will provide subscribers with resources to develop and test their cloud-based applications. Microsoft will also provide the development accelerator promotional offer for partners and customers who want to quickly develop and deploy applications with dynamic scaling, predictable pricing, and a deep discount.
Windows Azure, SQL Azure and .NET Services will be commercially available at the Professional Developers Conference 2009. Microsoft encourages partners and customers to start building on the community technology preview (CTP) at no cost today.

Offer hardworking families a chance to take their first step out of poverty. Learn more.
Support World CouncilWith Amazon Smiles!
The Texas Credit Union Foundation (TCUF) has expanded its outreach to Central America through a recent "train the trainer" session to help teach financial literacy in Belize.
Courtney Nickles, foundation executive director, recently presented the National Endowment for Financial Education High School Financial Planning Program, a financial literacy program aimed at high school-aged students, to educators, credit union staff and community leaders in Belize. The Belize Credit Union League has a partnership with Southwest Corporate FCU in Plano, Texas (LoneStar Leaguer Oct. 20).
During the session, Nickles gave classroom-style presentations and had interactive role-playing activities to help students relate to their materials.
"We can see how our partnership with the foundation will facilitate a wide cross-section of credit union members and high school students to learn fundamental financial management skills, which will allow them to make informed financial decisions from an early age," said Corinne Fuller, Belize league executive director. "We are excited about the possibility of including financial planning in our high school core curriculum."
The Ministry of Education in Belize also attended the presentation.
"We at the Ministry of Education believe that financial education should definitely be included in the curriculum if we are truly educating our students to take care of themselves, as well as to participate in nation building," said Carol Babb, Ministry of Education deputy chief education officer. "We intend to integrate this topic in the social studies curriculum."
Belize has the highest literacy race in Latin America, but the country is plagued with poverty and unemployment, said Victor Miguel Corro, World Council of Credit Unions senior manager of international partnerships.
"Providing the people of Belize with the tools to make better choices with their money, coupled with access to affordable financial services, remains essential to improving the quality of life in the country," Corro said.
Nickles noted that the presentation was an emotional experience, and the participants were incredibly appreciative.
"The luxury of accessible information we are afforded allows us to be aware of the basic fundamentals of financial information, but only when you see the genuine appreciation and comprehension of those individuals who have never learned something we take for granted, like how to balance their checkbook, do you realize how fortunate we are," Nickles said.

4 new apartment complexes coming to New Ulm
NEW ULM – New apartment buildings are going up in New Ulm because several major developers are moving on their projects. The New Ulm City Council advanced several of these projects on Tuesday by approving TIF districts and local permits.
The four new apartment complexes will bring a combined total of nearly 200 rental units. Each of the developers is building a project that targets different areas and demographics.
Eagle Development, LLC is targeting the over 55-years old demographic with a building at the end of the South Minnesota Street downtown area.
Steve Harmening is targeting the more upscale apartment demographic with a complex on South Broadway across from Hy-Vee.
Doneff Companies is building an apartment complex at 1520 Sunset Ave., which provides regular rental rates but will market to MLC grads and WELS retirees.
Winkelman Building Corporation is seeking to build apartments targeted at assisted living residents behind the former Kmart building, near Orchard Hills.
Three of the four apartment complexes have sought a TIF district. Harmening's development near Hy-Vee is not currently planning to seek a TIF district. The other three projects are at different stages in obtaining a TIF district. City officials have indicated support for the TIF requests.
TIF districts are economic development tools because there is no cost to cities. They are funded through a partial refund to the businesses on their property taxes. The idea is the taxes would not exist without the project; therefore, the city's existing revenues are not impacted and the city eventually gains new tax income when the TIF ends.
Although the TIFs will not require a certain number of jobs to be created like a municipal loan program, they will require the three apartment buildings to rent 20 percent of the units to people earning less than 50 percent of the Brown County median family income. The number of lower-income rental housing this requirement will provide is still in flux. Estimates are that there will be 24 to 30 units at a rate of 8 to 10 apartments per project.
Progress and plans for apartment buildings
Eagle Development received Council approval of its needed Conditional Use Permit on Tuesday. The Council also approved city employees to start drawing up paperwork for a TIF district. Construction will start this fall, with a target opening date in late 2014.
The project will be a three-story, 39-unit apartment complex that requires renters to be 55-years old or older, though there is possibility for the apartments it must provide under the TIF requirements will be given exceptions. The complex will provide underground and outdoor parking that is accessed through the alley between Minnesota Street and German Street. It will also provide outdoor recreation area and indoor community space.
The Denoff project received approval on Tuesday that the project was consistent with the City's General Development Plan. The project has progressed significantly through its TIF paperwork.
The Winkelman project is nearly done with its TIF application and sought to modify the terms of its district to account for its increased scope. The building was originally planned as a two-phase project starting with 35 units. It has been changed to an one-phase project with 42 units. The parking designs for 15 garage lots and 46 surface spaces was upgraded to 42 underground parking lots and 47 surface lots. The larger project means Winkelman will now increase from recapturing $450,000 over the course of the multiple years of the TIF to recapturing $550,000.
The TIF?paperwork for all the projects is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

EPA's action may prove costly
The announcement that the Environmental Protection Agency is coming down hard on existing coal-fired power plants raises literally hundreds of questions. Perhaps the only one to which we already have an answer is what the edict will cost.
For tens of millions of American families and tens of thousands of businesses, the answer is a single word: astronomical.
Beyond any doubt, many household electric bills will increase by hundreds of dollars a year as a result of the mandate. Many businesses' costs will skyrocket by thousands or even millions of dollars a year.
For some companies where electricity is a high proportion of expenses, the increase will push them over the edge into bankruptcy. That already has happened in some places.
What we know is this: EPA?Administrator Gina McCarthy signed orders to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. power plants by an average of 30 percent. Though the full impact of the mandate is not expected to take effect until 2030, states must submit compliance proposals by 2016. Utilities already are under the gun to plan how they will bring power plants into compliance.
Truth be told, most electric companies anticipated the ruling years ago.
Utilities already have closed or announced plans to shutter as many as 300 coal-fired generating units throughout the country. Existing rules essentially banned them from constructing new coal-fired plants. A shift toward stations fueled by natural gas already is under way.
Reporters are investigating precisely how the new EPA rule will affect consumers and businesses. We will keep you posted.
Again, however, one thing already is plain: In higher electric bills, fewer jobs and other substantive ways, the new rule will cost us all dearly.
Congress can prevent that from happening if the members choose to act. Perhaps the most crucial question of all is whether lawmakers will do that.

Settlement reached in civil suit involving NUPD officer in 2011 fatal crash
NEW ULM – Settlement negotiations concluded at 6 p.m. Tuesday in a civil lawsuit involving a New Ulm Police officer and the City of New Ulm regarding a July 8, 2011 accident that took the lives of an 82-year-old New Ulm woman and a 60-year-old Mankato man.
New Ulm City Attorney Hugh Nierengarten and City Manager Brian Gramentz said they could not comment on settlement terms, which are subject to approval by the District Court.
A spokesperson in the Brown County Court Administration office said the case file will be reviewed by the Court by April 20. Nierengarten said he knew of no reason why the settlement terms would not be made public after the case is approved by the District Court.
The crash occurred at 1:40 p.m. on North Garden Street, near the intersection of 10th North Street, near Garden Terrace Apartments. The accident happened as a 1994 Mercury Sable was northbound on Garden when it turned left into a driveway and collided with a southbound Ford Crown Victoria New Ulm squad car, driven by Matt Rasmussen, according to a State Patrol release.
The squad car hit the passenger side door of the Sable driven by Myra Meyer of New Ulm. Her son Brian Wichmann of Mankato was a passenger.
Wichmann was taken to New Ulm Medical Center (NUMC), where he was pronounced dead. Meyer was flown to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) where she died of injuries on July 19, 2011.
Rasmussen, 31, was treated to non-life-threatening injuries at NUMC. He returned to full-time police duty in September 2011.
A State Patrol report stated that prior to the crash, Rasmussen was following a suspect in a speeding vehicle. Both vehicles had major damage.
Redwood County Attorney Steve Collins took over the State Patrol report as a special assistant prosecutor for Brown County to prevent conflict of interest. He began reviewing the case in September 2011 before passing it to a Brown County grand jury two months later to determine if any charges would be brought against the officer.
Collins said the accident report included hundreds of pages and photographs plus a video of the crash. The report estimated Rasmussen was traveling at 72 mph when he applied brakes and that he was traveling at 60 mph when he hit Meyer's car.
The report stated that Rasmussen turned on his flashing lights but turned them off after passing cars between himself and Meyer's car, according to witnesses.
In an interview with an investigator, Rasmussen said he didn't remember turning off his flashing lights.
According to Minnesota Statute 169.03, Subdivision 5, no emergency vehicle driver shall assume any special privileges, except when responding to an emergency call or when in immediate pursuit of an actual or suspect law violator.
Minnesota Statute 169.17 reads that speed limits do not apply to emergency vehicles responding to an emergency call. Law enforcement vehicles are required to have an audible signal siren or display at least one red light. Emergency vehicles are not relieved of driving with due regard for the safety of others on the street nor are the drivers protected from reckless disregard for the safety of others.
The Brown County grand jury returned a "no bill," (no indictments) decision on charges related to the State Patrol crash investigation. Collins said the grand jury reviewed all potential felonies and misdemeanor charges that could be applied in the case and found no probable cause for any of them.
Grand juries only determine if there is evidence for charges and are legally sworn to secrecy. Their proceedings cannot be disclosed to the public.
Early last year, the family of the two people that died in the 2011 accident filed a civil suit against Rasmussen and the City of New Ulm. The family was represented by Schwebel, Goetz and Sieben attorney James Schwebel.
Rasmussen and the City of New Ulm were represented by League of Minnesota Cities Attorney Peter Regnier. Neither Schwebel nor Regnier returned phone calls Wednesday.
New Ulm Police Chief Myron Wieland declined comment on the settlement.

Burn SurgeryTweet
According to the American Burn Association, more than 2 million thermal injuries occur each year. Of this number, about 75,000 require hospitalization and 14,000 of these injuries result in death. As the largest organ in our body, disruption of the skin layer can result in severe physical and physiologic consequences.
PAs working in Burn Surgery usually practice in similar practice areas as the supervising burn surgeon. This can include the acute resuscitation period (including involvement on the trauma or burn team), intra-operative management (first assisting), post-resuscitation, intensive care and long-term follow-up.
The William Randolph Hurst Burn Center at New York Presbyterian Hospital is well known as one of the busiest burn centers in the world. In that institution, PAs are employed in the peri-operative environment (surgical first assisting) as well managing care on the step-down unit.

Giving up Sanity for Lent…
- by Aunt Johnny
So, I gave up drinking alcohol for Lent.
Yes, I know.
It is….quite possibly…..the dumbest thing I've done to date. I wouldn't blame you if you stopped reading from this point and de-friended me on Facebook.
It's been one day – and my hands are already starting to shake from not having the comfort and stability of a martini glass in loving, loyal grasp. Well, in truth, the shaking may actually be the result of the six Hydroxycut tablets I accidentally took because I thought they were cinnamon Tic Tacs. But still. I never would have thought they were Tic Tacs if I was drunk – and I think that illustrates my point.
Abstinence is bad. Don't ever let anyone tell you different.
As usual, you can blame Betty White for this embarrassing lapse in reasonable judgment.
"Why can't we just give up orange juice like we did last year?" I whined on Tuesday over our mid morning mimosas.
"Dumb." She she said, rolling her eyes and pouring more champagne into her glass. "Because 46 days without our mid-morning mimosas was just plain lunacy. We had to use grapefruit juice. I don't know how we lived through it."
"Excellent point."
We really should have thought that one through a bit more.
This is the worst possible time to go cold turkey too. Dear friends all around me are going koo-koo for cocoa puffs, and I am left to manage through the crisis without a drop to drink. If you ask me, it's just irresponsible. Lord only knows the kind of ridiculous advice I'd spew without a buzz.
Take Charlie Sheen for example. The poor dear is hanging on to the last three teeth left in his cracked out mouth, and is moments away from being put on a 5150 psychiatric hold after the police received an alarming call that he was threatening to harm himself with a firearm. The cops have raided his home today because under the restraining order obtained by Brooke Mueller, Charlie is prohibited from possessing weapons.
And then I find out Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have REALLY broken up this time. Like, officially. I guess. Well that's the last thing I need. It's not a secret that JT has carried a torch for me since I choreographed the "Bye-Bye-Bye" music video for NSYNC. He flirts with me incessantly….showing his adoration by leaving voicemail messages on my machine pretending to be a lawyer that uses big words like "restraining order" or "harassment." Clearly the boy has a crush – and now that he's single and on the market, it's only a matter of minutes before he's at my doorstep serenading me with "Dick in a Box."
He's such a romantic.
But I just don't have those feelings for him. How am I supposed to let him down gently if I'm not shit-faced and wearing my underwear on my head? I'm not a barbarian, for goodness sake.
Love ya like….Love ya like…I got nothin. I'm sober. I love nothing.
Aunt Johnny

Editor for this issue: Ljuba Veselinova <lveselinemunix.emich.edu>
Graduate Program in Scandinavian Generative Linguistics, University of Tromsoe 1996-1997 The Linguistics Section of the School of Languages and Literature at the University of Tromsoe, Norway, offers a one year graduate program, designed to prepare students for research in generative syntax and phonology with special attention to the Scandinavian languages. It is open to students from all countries. Students should have a background in linguistics corresponding roughly to a B.A. with a major in linguistics, or a Norwegian Cand.mag. For students who wish to pursue higher studies in generative linguistics, perhaps with a specialization in Germanic languages, this program offers a rare opportunity to acquire a solid grounding in recent models in generative phonology and syntax, applied to a group of languages which have proven to be a fruitful area of research using recently developed grammatical models. Instruction will be in English. Proficiency in a Scandinavian language is not required, nor is previous knowledge of Scandinavian grammar. Those who wish may follow a course in Norwegian for foreigners during the year. Students pay no tuition. A limited number of grants are available for students from Eastern Europe or developing countries. The program will consist of lectures, seminars, and tutorials, with examinations at the end of each term (fall and spring term). In addition, the students are required to write a shorter thesis. In the fall there will be one lecture series on Scandinavian syntax and another one on Scandinavian phonology. In addition there will be seminars, tutorials, and a crash course in Icelandic grammar. In the spring there will be a lecture series on historical Scandinavian linguistics, plus seminars and tutorials. The students will also write their thesis during spring term. The teachers are Anders Holmberg and Tarald Taraldsen (syntax), Ove Lorentz and Curt Rice (phonology). Teachers from other universities will be invited to contribute at various points in the course. The deadline for applications for 1996-97 is March 1, 1996 for those who wish to be considered for a grant.

text: Area of Research Spanning the boundary between investigator and academic clinician, I seek to eradicate functional blindness from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) through early detection and an improved understanding of disease pathogenesis. While co-directing the Glaucoma Service at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and serving as Research Director of the Ocular Teleheath Center at the Boston VA Hospital, I engage in patient care, government-sponsored research and teaching to achieve my objective. Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of intraocular pressure (IOP)-related diseases producing optic nerve excavation and atrophy, ultimately culminating in blindness. POAG is the most common form of glaucoma in the Western World. Research developments over the past 30 years demonstrate that the level IOP retains a pathogenic link to POAG; yet, undisclosed factors also increase vulnerability to optic nerve deterioration. High quality medical evidence indicates that lowering IOP favorably impacts the natural history of POAG; nonetheless, the reason why IOP increases in POAG is unknown. I am principal investigator on NIH-funded research employing hypothesis-driven epidemiological methods to: a) gain insight into why IOP increases in POAG and b) discover novel factors making the optic nerve vulnerable to degeneration in POAG. For example, my study of the relation between type 2 diabetes mellitus and POAG suggests factors producing insulin resistance may contribute to elevated IOP. Furthermore genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance may contribute directly to glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Since neither major environmental factors nor genetic loci have emerged as risk factors for POAG, I have taken a candidate approach to discover gene-environment interaction terms related to the disease. This work has generated the largest known population-based, case-control group consisting of incident POAG cases with archived DNA samples and repeated, validated environmental exposure information. I submitted a pending NIH application to use this sample in a high throughput genotyping effort with the long-term goal of identifying the full complement of genes, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions associated with POAG. In addition to focusing on the etiology of POAG, disease detection is an important component of my research. I previously published that one risk factor for the disease (African Ancestry) is also a risk factor for reduced glaucoma awareness. As Research Director of the Ocular TeleHealth Center at the Boston VA, I assess telemedicine technologies that could facilitate the detection of glaucoma.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (815 votes).
In short: Unfortunately I Woz There!!!In full: Marshalls Brilliant During the Race. Weather Atrocious.Lack of organisation at the start and finish though. Had to ask if the marathon had been cancelled as the anouncement was not clear and it was said much too quickly as if it was something and nothing - but to me it was a few hundered pounds in travel and accomadation, and six months of training. No medal at the end? Roll on Preston Guild Marathon - October 28th - no accomadation or travel - I live there!!Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Clearly signed, enthusiastically marshalled but chaotic at finish and steeply pricedIn full: I guess I can look back in future years and say 'I was there' ! I know I'd only entered the half marathon and would have been justifiably upset had I'd been planning to run the marathon only to have it cancelled at the last minute (literally, give or take one or two !), but yes, I'd say it was the right decision given the twin threats of exposure and drowning. However, given the state of the Greenway, and the blanket rain forecasts, could this decision have been taken earlier ?Good points : unfeasibly cheery marshalls, palpable sense of relief at the finishBad points : steep price - I'm not upset at no t-shirt (got loads of those), but no space blanket and nothing at the finish save for a banana and I didn't have the money on me for a cup of tea or something hot. Conc : On a sunny day, I can this being a very pleasant half-marathon, with runners lazing around in the field afterwards, and hence less congestion problems. As it was, with a quagmire finish, one over-crowded tent in danger of being blown away and no other facilities, it should have been no surprise that everyone scarpered asap. Better contingency planning required Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Good race - disappointed not to be able to do the full but it was a wise decision by the organisers. Supporters and marshalls in plenty despite the atrocious weather.Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Terrible weather, but still managed PBIn full: Conditions truly awful, but battled on to a PB, as it would have been too cold to walk/stop. Disappointed with finish area - runners didnt primarily need cold water, but warmth, but there were no space blankets or hot drinks handed out on line. Course was congested with runners and traffic at times.Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Organisation and terrible weather let the race down.In full: I was surprised the race went ahead at all given the weather conditions! I was only doing the half, but can see how people got confused by the full being cancelled with minutes to go. Could have done with less volunteers handing out sponges (we were wet enough anyway) and maybe some foil blankets at the finish! I was freezing and a small mug of tea and a bin bag didn't quite cut it... However I did a decent time despite the crazy wind and horizontal rain, and I'd like to come back and run it in slightly less armageddon type conditions... Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Should have been so much better - will be back as marshals and volunteers stuck with itIn full: Overall this would have been a very good route and there were plenty of very brave and welcome marshalls and supporters out. The decision to cancel the full marathon was no doubt well informed but I didn't hear as I was at the middle to back of the start line (this was really poor of the organisers). I ended up running a decent marathon pace but if I'd have know it was going to be a half, I've had set my pace targets higher and finished a happier bunny. No doubt I'll be back and hopefully the organisers can take on board all of the words of encouragement and learn from the experience of yesterday.Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: the worst race everIn full: I will try and keep this clean! I have never been so disappointed and angry in my life, they posted on the web on Saturday to say the weather is awful but we are going ahead then they cancelled the marathon with a few minutes to go, we were standing at the start, some people didn't even hear the annoucement, so we were forced to run the half and then they ran out of medals, there was no goody bag, we had to steal water cos there was no-one handing it out - utter bloody joke, fellow club members are totally appalled by the way we were treated, they should have cancelled the day before at least then we would have had a choice and chance to put our half heads on as it was I was just bewildered and unsure what to do, never ever ever gonna go anywhere near this event or the organsiers again. The total lack of respect shown for the runners and the amount of training you have to put in to do this is a compete disgrace, I hope they are ashamed of themselves!!!Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Terrible weather and a difficult decision to go ahead with the race im sure. In full: The worst weather I have ever run in (including snow). The wind was brutal and it rained constantly. Organisation was good considering but im sure some difficult decisions were made the day before the event as the weather forecast was fairly accurate. Just about got away with it as the river was about to burst its banks. I have run this race in the past and this was not the same at all. Incredibly hard and I must have lost 10 mins off my target time. Hopefully easier next year!Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: ++Great effort by all on a wicked weather day!++In full: Standing on the start line, with more clothes still on than I've ever worn for any other race EVER,we were told that the marathon was off. At first I was a little disappointed having trained hard and was wanting an indication of where I was at time wise. However after only a few rural miles it was evident that this was the right decision. 30mph wind, horizontal rain all added to a grim day. BUT the marshalls were as wonderful as ever. Amazing generosity to stand out in the weather helping, shouting and supporting. Many, many thanks to them. Shame about the weather but I'll be back next year...again!Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: On a dry day sunny day you could knock 5 mins of your PBIn full: Well done to the Marshals for this race today and for standing around getting cold & wet in dreadful weather we had today and then managing to clap and cheer us all on, Wet was not the word ! My running shoes and socks were soaking before we even started, having walked across the grass to the baggage tent, but hey still managed a PB in such a beautiful part of the country ! Will do this race again.Date of review: April 29, 2012

Hi everyone ( and Kevin, I know you are watching this thread ),
Nice Shincha 2014 I tried Chiran Sencha and it is very good. Really good emerald tea.
[ Freedom of speech helmet on ]
Following is some opinions and regret ( which absolutely no correlation to the wonderful tea ):
It's a pity that given O-Cha's address and the label printing "Fukushima Prefecture" on the bag, I cannot gift the tea from O-Cha to other.
You know, there are many people having fear of literally ANY radiation level. I do not have the confidence to persuade other in trusting the tea given the labeled distributor address, eventhough the tea itself comes from Kagoshima Prefecture and I do not have any fear and consume the green tea daily happily.
And I cannot stress this enough, that I do not find other merchant who offer green tea of the same level.
Anyone have any idea to this topic?

I'd like to build my daily tea drinking around Dragonwell. It's fresh, light, easy to make, and has all the health benefits that loose-leaf greens can have (unless I'm missing something.)
I had planned originally to build my daily tea intake around Matcha, but its preparation and cost is rather uneconomical compared to loose-leaf, especially when one can use the leaves multiple times in a sitting via more infusions.
Alas, I doubt there are any decent Dragonwell sellers in the Toronto area - save for perhaps House of Tea, so online ordering seems to be the best way to go.
I need two sources for Dragonwell:
1) A good-quality source I can buy a great deal from at reasonable cost, for everyday drinking. Perhaps not "authentic" West Lake Dragonwell (but maybe I can get it at reasonable cost, too?), but something quite a bit better than the broken leaves, sticks and stems of Teaopia's low-to-average grade Dragonwell.
2) A source that offers the finest Dragonwell available online - hopefully West Lake quality. That is, if you had a good bit more money to spend for special occasions and you were looking for a real treat. Short of going to China in person and or/paying someone off.
For example, someone has mentioned the Imperial Tea Court is quite good. I've also heard mention of Yunnan Sourcing (are they on eBay or do they have a website?)
If this sort of information has already been posted, I apologize, but I'm quite new at this and would appreciate some direction and education - especially in terms of which sources to avoid. Online ordering is still a risky proposition, especially when it comes to food items.

Diane Ablonczy Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, there are a couple of points that may be of assistance to the Speaker. One is the point made in the report which quoted Justice Gérard La Forest in 1997, a former Supreme Court of Canada justice. I refer the House to the facing page of the report which says:
The overarching purpose of access to information legislation...is to facilitate democracy. It does so in two related ways. It helps to ensure first, that citizens have the information required to participate meaningfully in the democratic process, and, secondly, that politicians and bureaucrats remain accountable to the citizenry.
I suggest that as members of parliament, as representatives of the citizenry of the country, we are deeply concerned about anything that puts a stranglehold on the information required to participate meaningfully in the democratic process and to do our job to hold the government accountable to the people of Canada.
This report not only clearly but scathingly points out that the government is impeding that very important process. I refer to one quote on page 10, second column, first paragraph of the report which says "In sum, then, there is a full counter-attack in progress against the Office of the Information Commissioner".
We need to take this very seriously. It is not just a matter of partisanship; it is a matter of fundamental democratic practice in our country. I urge the Chair to take this matter very seriously. It is a matter of privilege, not only for every single member of the House but for every single citizen of this country. I would ask the Chair to accede to the request of my colleague from Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough to bring this matter forward on an urgent basis so that it can be dealt with in a meaningful way, not swept under the carpet by the events that are taking place elsewhere in the democratic arena.
I would plead with you, Mr. Speaker, to give this matter the priority that we as members of the House feel it should have.
10:35 a.m.
John Bryden Wentworth—Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind you that there was a question of privilege moved by myself last June that is now before the House which relates directly to this matter. I suggested that there was interference with my privileges as an MP because of certain documents that were presented to cabinet by the justice department.
I would suggest, Mr. Speaker, that you are expected to rule on this question of privilege very soon. You might consider taking under advisement the current question of privilege until after we hear your ruling on my question of privilege. My question of privilege is very specific and alleged direct interference. If you find a prima facie case for my question of privilege, I think there will be ample opportunity for the House to debate the information commissioner's report in that context.
10:35 a.m.
The Deputy Speaker
The Chair appreciates the comments of all hon. members who made submissions on the point that is before the House this morning on the question of privilege raised by the hon. member for Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough.
With respect to the distribution of the documents, it is the Chair's understanding that there was a miscommunication between the privacy commissioner's office and the Chair in respect of the time of the tabling of the documents. It is agreed that the documents were tabled at 11 o'clock and the documents were not released to members until later. That was clearly the result of this miscommunication between the two offices and should in no way reflect on the validity or otherwise of the question of privilege that has been raised by the hon. member for Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough.
The Chair will take this matter under advisement and get back to the House with a ruling in respect of the hon. member's question as soon as possible.
Government Response To Petitions
Routine Proceedings
10:35 a.m.
Scarborough—Rouge River
Derek Lee Parliamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 14 petitions.
Clean Internet Act
Routine Proceedings
10:35 a.m.
Gordon Earle Halifax West, NS
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-507, an act to prevent the use of the Internet to distribute material that advocates, promotes or incites racial hatred, violence against women or child pornography.
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to introduce this bill which, as indicated, is a bill to prevent the use of the Internet to distribute material that advocates, promotes or incites racial hatred, violence against women or child pornography.
If this legislation is eventually adopted, it will be a giant step forward in dealing with a social ill that is fast pervading our country and one that all of us would like to see dealt with in a way that will make this society a much better place for us to live in.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Whistle Blower Human Rights Act
Routine Proceedings
10:40 a.m.
Gurmant Grewal Surrey Central, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-508, an act respecting the protection of employees in the public service who make allegations in good faith respecting wrongdoing in the public service.
Mr. Speaker, the purpose of the bill is to protect the members of the public service of Canada who disclose in good faith reasonably well-founded allegations of wrongdoing in the public service to a supervisor or to a public body. These could be reports of waste, fraud, corruption, abuse of authority, violation of law or threats to public health or safety.
While promoting the dignity and human rights, I believe that public officers have genuine public trust as evidenced in the annual report of the Information Commissioner of Canada. The public interest is served when employees are free to make such reports without fear of retaliation and discrimination.
Therefore, I am very pleased to introduce, after a lot of hard work and consultation with many whistle-blowers, my private member's bill entitled, an act respecting the protection of employees in the public service who make allegations in good faith respecting wrongdoing in the public service.
When a public service employee blows the whistle that person should be protected and not punished. In the U.S. whistle-blowers are rewarded.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Competition Act
Routine Proceedings
October 17th, 2000 / 10:40 a.m.
Dan McTeague Pickering—Ajax—Uxbridge, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-509, an act to amend the Competition Act.
Mr. Speaker, the timing of the recent decision by the competition tribunal toward Superior Propane, a monopoly of a product, is cold comfort to farmers and consumers alike. I am therefore pleased to introduce a bill to amend the Competition Act with respect to limiting efficiencies defences in merger cases before the competition tribunal. Using efficiency to obtain merger approval is unacceptable if the proposed merger would create a monopoly in the marketplace for the parties involved and would provide no benefit for consumers.
The bill clarifies the competition tribunal's powers to make or not to make an order in the case of a merger when gains in efficiency are expected or when the merger would create or strengthen a dominant market position.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
10:40 a.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be able to present two petitions, both on the critical issue of health care.
The first petition calls upon the government to implement legislation for clear labelling of all genetically engineered seed and foods derived from, processed with, containing or consisting of genetically engineered organisms before they are released into any and all commercial markets.
Routine Proceedings
10:40 a.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, the second petition pertains to the ongoing concerns of Canadians for a universal public health care system. The petitioners call upon the government to immediately act to ensure health care funding up to 25% immediately and to implement a national home care program and a national program for prescription drugs.
Routine Proceedings
10:40 a.m.
Richard Marceau Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to present two separate petitions. In the first, the petitioners are calling for an amendment to the Canada Post Corporation Act so that rural mail carriers may be entitled to collective bargaining. I am pleased to table this first petition.
Routine Proceedings
10:40 a.m.
Nelson Riis Kamloops, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present four petitions today pursuant to Standing Order 36.
In the first petition from Kamloops the petitioners point out their concern about Alberta's bill 11, which they feel opens the door to for profit hospitals and threatens health care across the country.
They are asking parliament to take whatever steps are necessary to stop this American style move to health care and to consider introducing national programs for home care and prescription drugs.
Routine Proceedings
10:45 a.m.
Nelson Riis Kamloops, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present another petition. The petitioners are concerned about the state of the highway system across Canada. They urge the Government of Canada to consider putting some of the revenues raised by the excise tax on fuel into highway construction in all parts of Canada.
Routine Proceedings
10:45 a.m.
Nelson Riis Kamloops, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition in which the petitioners are concerned about our criminal code. They call upon the Government of Canada to amend the criminal code to prevent persons convicted of serious crimes from being released from custody pending the hearing of their appeals except in exceptional circumstances.
Routine Proceedings
10:45 a.m.
Nelson Riis Kamloops, BC
Mr. Speaker, the fourth petition is from members of the Sikh temple in Kamloops. They point out the importance of April 13 in their religion. They also point out their contribution to Canadian society.
More important, they call upon the House to recognize the importance of the five K s. These are the kirpan, a sword representing indomitable spirit; kesa, unshorn hair representing simple life, saintliness and devotion to God; kara, a steel bangle worn as a sign of eternity to God; kangah, a wooden comb worn to represent a clean mind and body; and kacha, short breeches representing hygienic living.
Routine Proceedings
10:45 a.m.
Richard Marceau Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, I want to present a second petition signed by a number of people in my riding.
These petitioners are calling on the government to do everything possible to lower the price of gasoline, especially with winter just around the corner. The increase in the price of gasoline will make it difficult for many people in my riding and across the country to make ends meet over the winter, given the very high price of heating oil, among other things.

You know how sometimes two things come together and they make such a perfect pair you can't remember them ever NOT being together? Yeah, that's how it is with Ray Ray's Hog Pit and Ace of Cups bar.
The barbecue food truck, a veteran of the city's street-eats scene, recently moved a few blocks south from its original perch at the corner of High and Pacemont to the roomy parking lot outside Ace of Cups, a laid-back hangout spot with a Little Brothers-esque music lineup.
Thanks in part to a shared devil-may-care vibe, these two businesses complement each other perfectly. Ace of Cups doesn't have a full kitchen, so until now they could only offer an abbreviated menu of bar snacks. And from its former perch in the Super Food Mart parking lot, Ray Ray's didn't have much in the way of seating or parking.
Now you can dig in to your barbecue from a stool at the bar with a craft beer in hand to wash it down.
Here's a quick guide to what to order and what to pair it with:
Grass-fed Beef Brisket Sandwich: Offered on Sundays, this standout sandwich is piled with slow-smoked, thick-sliced meat and served with a housemade Dogfish Head Ale sauce that's sweet and hoppy. Choose a similarly hoppy beer to accompany, like a Bell's Two Hearted.
Pulled Pork Sandwich: A mound of smoky pork is slathered in sweet barbecue sauce and served on an Auddino's bun. Pair it with a smooth, caramel-y Barley's Scottish Ale.
Smoked Ribs: The best ribs in town are meaty, incredibly tender and slathered in smoky-sweet barbecue sauce. This is straightforward barbecue that demands a straightforward beer — try a Rogue Dead Guy, a malty German maibock.
Burnt Ends: A delicacy of the barbecue world, this occasional special consists of charred, crunchy scraps of brisket with an intense smoky flavor. They can stand up to a full-bodied beer like Stone's Arrogant Bastard, an American strong ale with a powerful punch.
Bacon Chocolate Chip Cheesecake: Forget the banana pudding. Ray Ray's epic new dessert special fits right in with the rest of the meaty lineup. Order something refreshing to go with it, like a lemonade spiked with one of the bar's house-infused vodkas.

Wisconsin ratification of the 19th Amendment
Wisconsin ratified the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, on June 10, 1919. This amendment was first introduced into Congress in 1878. On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the amendment, and two weeks later, the Senate followed. When Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18, 1920, the amendment finally obtained the required agreement of three-fourths of the states. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the ratification on August 26, 1920.

My Year in Belle France
After two weeks of winter vacation, it's back to school here in Auch.
However, I feel I definitely got the most out of my time off. I spent the first week with my friends (watching movies; cooking up crpes, tarte au citron (lemon tart), and pain perdu (French toast); and visiting farms and castles) and relaxing with my second host family.
The second week I left with my original host family for the Alps. The latter was definitely a typically European experience, and tons of fun to boot. European families (especially French ones, whose children benefit from the third most vacation days in Europe, behind Spain and Greece), often go on a ski week or weekend at least once a year. Therefore, skiing is very much a family event. During this time of year, the roads leading east to the Alps and south to the Pyrenees are full of trunks bursting with ski equipment.
For someone who grew up snowboarding on Mont Ripley, the Alps presented an entirely different scale. The station de ski was more like a small village, consisting of apartments, restaurants, winter gear stores, and cheese and sausage shops. Chairlifts and T-bars slithered up one after the other, leading higher and higher into the series of peaks.
What surprised me the most, however, wasn't the disorientingly immense mountains or the seemingly infinite number of runs, but the number of people: skiers, snowboarders, monoskiers, hordes of elementary-schoolers playing follow-the-leader behind their instructors, and even a few daredevils brave enough to face the parapante (parachute) and tyrolienne (zip line).
I also loved discovering the typical "mountain food" during my week's stay: a very hearty, heavily cheesy cuisine. Some examples include cheese fondue, la tartiflette, (sliced potatoes covered with a creamy cheese sauce), and la raclette (whole, peeled potatoes and sliced meats on which you pour cheese heated by a special machine).
Unfortunately, we had bad weather for two days out of our week; there was intense fog and a danger of avalanches (another non-problem at Mont Ripley). We benefitted from these days to cozy up in my host family's woodsy apartment, watch movies, go ice skating, play card games and peruse the marketplace. While hitting the slopes, however, I was surprised by how long the runs took: often a half-hour to go to the very top and 45 minutes to get back down!
In actuality, the fact that a day's drive gets you to the Alps is a good example of how Europe's experience of distance, culture, and geography is different from ours. I find it fascinating that there are actual cultural repercussions of the small country size in Europe.
For example, students study at least two languages starting in middle school, and have generally visited several foreign countries by high school. Many aspire to study abroad in the United Kingdom or the United States, as speaking English fluently considerably boosts their chances of getting a good job. School trips take students to Poland or Italy, or they might spend their summers in Spain with their family. They listen to Spanish, English (British and American), and Italian music, and are very familiar with foreign cultures in general. Unfortunately, the breadth and geographic isolation of the US makes it difficult for us to experience a similar cultural exchange.

Sociology and Anthropology
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology employs a global, comparative and multidisciplinary approach to the study of human social behavior, focusing primarily on the functioning of human collectives in the midst of ecological, cultural, political, economic and religious realities.
Led by a dynamic faculty, our small classes allow students to engage in constructive dialogue with both their peers and professors. Course offerings in sociology and anthropology examine not only the individual, but also the collective response to contemporary social and cultural issues.
We encourage students to study abroad and perform fieldwork to further enhance their cross-cultural learning experience, giving them opportunities to translate theoretical knowledge into real-world applications.
With a traditional liberal arts education as its foundation, our program fosters interpersonal as well as critical and creative thinking skills that prepare our graduates for responsible citizenship and success in a number of fields. While many attend graduate school, others opt for careers in social services, government, marketing and technology.

I think that Ian has been in love with Nina and she just had some growing to do before they could reunite. As far as him returning to TVD, well it sure would make for a lot of angry fans if he did leave for good. In the book, he went to the dark side and Elena went to save him and came back with him so who knows what is going to happen, but whatever happens I hope they are both happy because that is all that matters in the long run.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell
and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Really? So it appears that FINALLY there are paps in Atl. Why the heck they didn't took pic of this showmance before? BTW true Delena / Nian fans started to dream about that kind of pic last year and finally got them along with Delena on Tv. And it appears that Nina is lying again, she wrote at her twitter that day that she still has flue. Asking for a pity from fans to vote for PCA.

Awww is someone not getting their own way. Your jealousy is beaming through. They are hurting no one. Delena? This is real life honey, try letting your Stelena/Dobsley heart remember that.
Beautiful couple. They look totally happy in each others company, that's all you can ask for in life.

Incompatibility of chargers for mobile phones is a major inconvenience for users and also leads to unnecessary waste. Earlier this year mobile phone makers as well as developers of mobile technologies agreed to unify chargers for mobile phones. However, the European Commission has also requested industry to come forward with a voluntary commitment to solve this problem so as to avoid legislation.
On Monday the EC said that major producers of mobile phones have agreed to harmonize chargers in the EU. In a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU"), which was submitted to the Commission today, the industry commits to provide chargers compatibility on the basis of the micro-USB connector. In addition new EU standards to ensure continued safe charger use will be developed to facilitate the implementation of the MoU. The first generation of new inter-chargeable mobile phones should reach the EU market from 2010 onwards.
The memorandum has been signed Apple, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Qualcomm, Research in Motion (RIM), Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Texas Instruments.
"I am very pleased that industry has found an agreement, which will make life much simpler for consumers . They will be able to charge mobile phones anywhere from the new common charger. This also means considerably less electronic waste, because people will no longer have to throw away chargers when buying new phones. I am also very pleased that this solution was found on the basis of self-regulation. As a result, the Commission does not consider it necessary to introduce legislation," said vice-president Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industrial policy,
The MoU will be accompanied by a new EU standard. With the new standard, safe use of new mobile phones as well as avoidance of radio interference problems will be guaranteed. The European Commission continues to work closely with industry to ensure that the MoU will be operational quickly.
