ANAHEIM, Calif. (July 20, 2006)
- The U.S. Men's National Team will play its first "away" matches of FIVB World League competition on July 22-23 at the Hiroshima Green Arena in Hiroshima, Japan. The games will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday in Japan, which translates to 9 p.m. Friday and 10 p.m. Saturday, PDT.
The U.S. men find themselves in last place in Pool A after losing two straight matches to Poland on July 14-15 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Poland leads the Pool at 2-0 while Japan and Serbia & Montenegro are each 1-1 after splitting their weekend matches.
Japan meanwhile has some momentum after beating Serbia & Montenegro, ranked third in the world, in three games in their opening match on July 15 in Tokyo. Serbia & Montenegro came back to win 3-1 in the second match. Japan went into World League play ranked 12th in the world.
"We've been preparing for Japan specifically this week," said U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon. "They play a different type of offense (from Poland)."
"But our bigger issue is for us to step up and play at the level we know we can. That was the most disappointing thing about the losses to Poland. We weren't playing at our highest level."
The look of the U.S. team will be different as David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) takes over at middle blocker for Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) whose wife is having their first child. David McKenzie (Littleton, Colo.) has also been added to the roster at opposite, replacing Brook Billings (Santa Barbara, Calif.).
The U.S. team will miss usual starting outside hitter Riley Salmon (League City, Texas), who continues to rehabilitate an injured shoulder.
The U.S. men have won the last four meetings between the two teams. Their last meeting was at the 2005 World Grand Champions Cup in Japan, where the U.S men won 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-21, 25-23). The United States holds a 127-59 advantage going back to 1981.
"We played quite well in the World Grand Champions Cup in Japan at the end of last year, and, under head coach Tatsuya Ueta, we have trained hard on the fundamental skills," said Yu Koshikawa, 22, Japan's best scorer in the double-header against Serbia & Montenegro, with 40 kills and aces. "In addition to that, we have some young players this season. So overall we are getting better."
An important addition to the Japanese squad this year is Yusuke Ishijima. The burly outside hitter who carries his nickname from junior high school, "Gottsu" (meaning 'strong' or 'tough'), on the back of his No. 16 shirt, supported Koshikawa with 30 points last weekend, 22 of them in the second game.
Japan's veteran captain, Masaji Ogino, who was on the roster last weekend but did not play in either match due to a right hand injury, has been replaced on the 12-man roster by southpaw Takahiro Yamamoto, who has recovered from a slight back problem. Akira Masuno comes in at libero for Katsutoshi Tsumagari in the only other change.

Blackhearted Monkie Attempts To Start A Garden, Again!
Contributing Monkie V Ol Blak
Published on June 21, 2010
Filed Under Gardening Organically Tags gardening, Permaculture
Today is the day. I, V 01 will start my garden. YES WORLD I WANT TO BE A GARDENER. And this time I mean it.
I feel like an addict (addicted to the idea of gardening and not actually gardening). I have been saying I am going to garden, for almost 20 years (pathetic I know). I have had a few false starts, but this is actually the closes I have ever come to actually starting. Of course first and foremost, I had to pick out a visually appealing location. An area of the yard I could gaze at often. I am very visual and half the fun of gardening would be watching the thing become more beautiful with each passing day. Or maybe in my case, watching it wither, dry up and blow away. Oh lets hope not. Come on Green Monkie Juice, its time to pay off. (lots of images after the jump)
Like I said, I picked out a beautiful little area just outside my bedroom patio door. The size of the area has to be at least 800 square feet. The entire future garden is surrounded by trees. Giving it some shade around the edges and full sun in the middle. Here is the catch, I actually just moved to the desert (South California), so this maybe a little tricky. The soil is all sandy and doesn't seem to like to hold very much water. And unfortunately I no longer have composting worms. (will work on changing that very soon) Which means I don't have a great source of free highly enriched compost. And if that wasn't enough, I basically have no idea what I am doing. I know sad. So, here is what I have decided to do. Find someone to help me, guide me or least find a good book. I will keep you posted on all that.
Even though I am completely not ready (mentally to start) I did go out and went a little crazy buying up a $165 worth of seeds, pots, organic starting potting soil, soaker hose, tiller and the seed starting trays. I don't even know if I even need all that stuff. I just like the look of it. The main questions I need to answer are: Can I create an in-expensive permaculture garden? Is it already too late in the season to start, (it's mid June 2010). And the big one, can I grow a garden in the Desert at all? I just moved into a 1950's updated bungalow on about 1/2 acre of land. I am slightly up on a hill and there is tons of native or desert type plants already growing here, but the only editable plant is a lonely Grapefruit tree. It's huge, but only has a single fruiting branch. Is that normal?
Over the next few weeks, I will be making videos, creating some interviews with experts and maybe if I am lucky get a few people out here to give me some hands on help. Below are some photos of the area, as it is now. The starting point. Also, I have included one of the most inspiring permaculture videos I have ever come across. It's about this guy named Sepp Holzer. It looks like the video was made in the 80's but thats fine, because this guy is amazing. If I could be just maybe a mini version of him, that would really make my life. :) When I say mini, I don't mean size wise, I mean his talent to grow things, I already got the mini size thing down.
Sepp Holzer | Mountain Permaculture Pioneer
Wikipedia Josef Holzer (also known as Sepp Holzer, born 24 July 1942) was born in Ramingstein, Austria. Coming from a line of farmers, he took over his parents' business in 1962 and started applying ecological farming methods after being unsuccessful with the regular farming methods on his difficult land. Forty-eight years later he is still working on the same land according to his "Holzer Permaculture". His expanded farm now spans over 45 hectares of forest gardens, including 70 ponds, and is said to be the most consistent example of permaculture worldwide. You can learn more about Seep Holzer on his site krameterhof.at
Permaculture is a design-based approach to practical sustainability, using systems thinking and approaches that combine regenerative ethics with ecological principles to create ssutaianble environments. Permaculture was developed in teh sub-troics (Australia) and thus there was some debate about how well it could adapt to practiced in Temperate climates. THis film dispenses with any such worries. In this documentary, we take a look at a case study of permaculture in rteh Austrian Alps, which is snowed over for much of the year. DEspite this, by using peramcultrue design and a lifetime's experince, the farm here produces abundant adn diverse yeilds, while attracting interest from people and resturants far and wide

Address storage efficiency at the data center level, not the system level
Take a look inside any data center today and you're likely to find a multitude of siloed storage systems with different architectures, separate management interfaces, and a lack of interoperability between them. These systems can't respond to the dynamic and unpredictable application demands typical of cloud and ITaaS environments without additional hardware or device management overhead.
While external storage virtualization appliances can address this deficiency to a degree, they add cost and complexity. HP tackles the problem at its root with storage federation. Support for federated data services across the HP Converged Storage portfolio allow storage resources to be abstracted and logically aggregated to create an elastic resource pool for IT flexibility and business agility.

Offender in HIV scare loses freedom bid
MAYVILLE (AP) – A New York drug dealer imprisoned in the 1990s amid accusations he infected 13 young women with HIV lost his bid for freedom Friday despite having completed his sentence more than two years ago.
A jury in western New York found that Nushawn Williams, 36, suffers from a mental abnormality that makes him subject to "civil management" and will either be confined to a secure treatment facility or kept under strict supervision, according to the attorney general's office.
"With this determination, Mr. Williams will get the treatment he needs and the citizens of New York will be safer," said Melissa Grace, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
The Chautauqua County jury deliberated for just over an hour. A hearing will be held to determine Williams' level of management.
Williams, who now goes by the name Shyteek Johnson, completed a 12-year sentence for statutory rape and reckless endangerment in 2010.
But state officials sought his continued imprisonment and described him as a mentally disturbed, sex-obsessed drug user likely to infect more women if set free. A psychologist's report said Williams targeted vulnerable young women who were underage and/or drug addicted and "used charm and coercion to secure sexual contact."
Before the trial's start, Williams' lawyer John Nuchereno claimed that a new test showed that Williams isn't HIV positive. Nuchereno argued that without HIV, Williams is not a danger and should be freed.
Nuchereno earlier this year said he arranged for a new blood test as part of efforts to get Williams released. State lawyers at that time questioned whether the April blood sample had been properly handled, as well as the reliability of the test submitted by Nuchereno, which was conducted using an electron microscope.
Nuchereno did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
In 1997, before he was charged, authorities in the small western New York city of Jamestown took the unusual step of announcing publicly that Williams was HIV positive in an effort to stem further spread of the virus by Williams' partners to others. News that the dreadlocked Bronx native known as "Face" had been found to be the common denominator in numerous HIV cases, including that of a 13-year-old girl, set off a local panic.
He told a reporter in 1999 that he'd had sex with 200 to 300 partners.
The two-week trial was held out of the public eye because of health privacy laws.

Three charged in rash of burglaries
MAYVILLE – Three men reportedly tied to a rash of daytime burglaries in Chautauqua County have been charged, the Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday.
The charges come after a three-month-long investigation by multiple police agencies, including authorities in Pennsylvania. The burglaries largely took place in the north end of the county, although investigators are reviewing other reported thefts throughout the area.
Charged with one count each of second-degree burglary were: Dustin W. Hale, 25, of Silver Creek; Alex Tylwalk, 21, of Dunkirk; and Richard J. Patterson, 21, of Brocton.
Tylwalk and Patterson were taken into custody Tuesday by the Sheriff's Office and were awaiting arraignment in Chautauqua County Court. Hale was charged in February and currently is in County Jail in lieu of $30,000 cash or $60,000 real property bond.
According to a news release announcing the charges, the suspects were first identified after they were caught on an unknown date in a town of Stockton residence. Police said the family returned to find the three men inside; the suspects allegedly fled the scene.
A vehicle description was broadcasted, and Hale and Tylwalk were later found by Dunkirk police. Further investigation by police in Dunkirk, Westfield and the Sheriff's Office led to all three being charged.
Chautauqua County Sheriff Joe Gerace on Tuesday praised his office for the apprehensions. However, he stressed the investigation is ongoing and more charges could be forthcoming.
"It was a tremendous effort by our investigators," Gerace said.
The three suspects are accused of burglarizing at least a dozen residences in January and February, most of which occurred during the day. Gerace said police also are investigating burglaries in Pennsylvania.
"We have reason to believe (these suspects) were active there, as well," the sheriff said.
Investigators have been searching the Internet and local pawn shops for the stolen property. Gerace described the recovery process as "frustrating," and noted many items are quickly sold to buy drugs.
"There is a good chance the stolen property is brought to pawn shops and sold on the streets for drugs," Gerace said. "Our investigators are all over this.
"They are on eBay and searching the shops for the items. We give out a list of the things we are looking for. It can be a difficult process."

Development Bank, ADB
The Asian Development Bank, a multilateral development finance institution,
was founded in 1966 by 31 member governments to promote the social
and economic progress of the Asia-Pacific region. It now has 58
member countries - 42 from within the region and 16 non-regional.
ADB gives special attention to the needs of the smaller or less-developed
countries, and to regional, subregional, and national projects and
programs. Promoting sustainable
development and environmental protection is a key strategic
development objective of the Bank. (See also about environment.)
To fulfill this objective, the Bank (i) reviews the environmental
impacts of its projects, programs, and policies; (ii) encourages
DMC governments and executing agencies to incorporate environmental
protection measures in their project design and implementation procedures,
and provides technical assistance for this purpose; (iii) promotes
projects and programs that will protect, rehabilitate, and enhance
the environment and the quality of life; and (iv) trains Bank and
DMC staff in, and provides documentation on, environmental aspects
of economic development. The Asian
Development Fund (ADF) is the concessional lending window of
the Bank.
programmes, strategies and research
Strategic Plan of Action on the Environment
The Strategic Plan of Action on the Environment for 1994-1998 has
the following five objectives:
the impacts of the recent economic crisis on the natural resources
and environmental conditions, the ASEAN Environment Ministers
at their Fifth Informal Meeting in April 2000 discussed the
importance of keeping their commitment to environmental protection
and sustainable development. Hence, to move forward towards
the future goals and directions that the ASEAN leaders expressed
in ASEAN Vision 2020 and the Hanoi Plan of Action
(adopted in 1997 and 1998 respectively) the Ministers adopted
the ASEAN
Strategic Plan of Action on the Environment (SPAE) for 1999-2004.
It consists of the key activities to be implemented by ASOEN
(ASEAN Senior Officials on the Environment) and its subsidiary
bodies over the next five years, including the areas of coastal
and marine environment, nature conservation and biodiversity,
multilateral environmental agreements, management of land
and forest fires and haze, and other environmental activities.
in Environmental Management for for the Seas of East Asia,
A GEF project, focusing on "building partnerships within
and among governments of the region, as well as across public
and private sectors of the economy. The goal is to reduce
or remove barriers to effective environmental management,
including inadequate or inappropriate policies, disparate
institutional and technical capabilities and limited investment
in environmental facilities and services". PEMSEA is
"based on two management frameworks developed and tested
in an earlier GEF Project: Integrated coastal management,
addressing land-water interactions and the impacts of human
activity in coastal areas; and risk assessment/risk management,
applying to subregional sea areas and the impacts of human
activities on marine ecosystems." PEMSEA web resources
include Virtual
ICM; a Legal
Information Database Reference Catalogue; and a Directory
of Research and Management Institutions in Southeast Asia.
and a database of Good
Practices. See also the PEMSEA
Updates, a free online newsletter.
Regional Seas Programme
Regional Seas Programme was initiated in 1974 as a global
programme implemented through regional components. The Regional
Seas Programme is UNEP's main framework in the field of the
coastal and marine environment. It includes 14 regions and
three partner seas, involves more than 140 coastal states,
and focuses on sustainable development of coastal and marine
areas. Each regional action
plan is formulated according to the needs and priorities
of the region as perceived by the Governments concerned. Regional
conventions are in place for several areas. See a map
of all regional seas, and go to more information on the Black
Sea, Wider Caribbean, Mediterranean,
East Asian Seas, South Asian Seas, Eastern Africa, Kuwait
Region, North West Pacific, Red Sea And Gulf of Aden, South
East Pacific, North East Pacific, South
Pacific, Upper
South West Atlantic, and West
and Central Africa. The UNEP Regional Seas web site also contains
information on What's
at stake, Major
threats, and Actions.
Asian Seas Action Plan
On the initiative of the five States of the East Asian
region Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore
and Thailand the Governing Council of UNEP in 1977
decided that "steps are urgently needed to formulate and establish
a scientific programme involving research, prevention and
control of marine pollution and monitoring " for a regional
action plan in East Asia. An Action Plan for the Protection
and Sustainable Development of the Marine Environment and
Coastal Areas of the East Asian Region was adopted in 1981,
with a decision making body, the Coordinating Body on the
Seas of East Asia (COBSEA). A revised Action Plan and
a Long-term Strategy for the COBSEA for the 1994-2000 period
were developed in 1994 and Australia, Cambodia, China, Korea
and Vietnam joined the Action Plan. A
new East Asian Seas Action Plan "Leading
the EAS Action Plan to the 21st Century"
has been elaborated for the period 2000-2009.

Enviroment Outlook 2000. GEO is:
Projects in the region
under implementation
- GEF - International waters:
Partnerships for the Environmental Protection and Management of
the East Asian Seas
The objective of the project is to assist the riparian countries
of the East Asian Seas to collectively protect and manage their
heavily stressed coastal and marine environments through intergovernmental
and intersectoral partnerships. These countries include the Republic
of Korea which for the first time is a GEF recipient. Building upon
the methodologies, approaches, typologies, networks and lessons
learned from the pilot phase, the project would enhance and complement
national and international efforts by removing or lowering critical
barriers regarding policy, investment, capacity, which are having
negative effects on the management of the coastal/marine environment
in the region. Together with several waterbody-based projects in
the area, these projects constitute GEF's programmatic approach
to these coastal and marine waters with globally significant ecosystems
that are experiencing severe degradation.
- GEF - International waters:
and Management of Marine Pollution in the East Asian Seas
Development of policies and plans to control marine pollution from
land-based and sea-based sources, upgrading of national and regional
infrastructures and technical skills, and establishment of financing
instruments for project sustainability. Project will include selection
of demonstration sites, establishment of regional monitoring and
information network, and involvement of regional association of
marine legal experts to improve capacity to implement relevant conventions.
Bank - GEF - Biodiversity:
and Marine Biodiversity Conservation in Mindanao, Philippines
In this project, the GEF would aim to finance the incremental costs
of promoting coastal and marine biodiversity conservation and sustainable
use in the coastal waters of Mindanao, Philippines. Mindanao has
received little attention to date with regard to conservation of
its marine biodiversity resources. The GEF-assisted Coastal and
Marine and Biodiversity Conservation Component (CMBC) of the proposed
Mindanao Rural Development Project (MRDP) will remove the barriers
to mainstreaming marine and coastal biodiversity conservation in
coastal zone development by: (a) establishing community-based management
of marine sanctuaries; (b) strengthening local capacity to address
marine ecosystem management issues; (c) enhancing the knowledge
base for sound ecosystem management and decision- making, including
monitoring and evaluation for sustainable long-term marine ecosystem
management; and (d) developing policy and action plans for marine
biodiversity conservation and mainstreaming it into coastal development
plans. The concept is based on the precept and the experiences that
show that good marine management can simultaneously conserve and
protect biodiversity and increase fisheries productivity. These
activities would have considerable replication potential in Mindanao
as part of the MRDP that would be an Adaptable Lending Program of
10-12 year duration. The lessons learned during the first three-year
phase would be applied to subsequent phases when additional coastal
provinces would be included under the MRDP with the cumulative experience
strengthening implementation of the CMBC. These lessons would also
have applicability in other regions of the Philippines and other
tropical countries.
concepts in the pipeline
- GEF - Biodiversity:
of the Ecological Balance of the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecosystems
The overall objective of the project is to ensure that the shared
marine resources and key biological features and processes are conserved
in the long term. The PDF-B phase will focus on four components:
(i) establish coordination and consultation mechanisms, (ii) undertake
a preliminary diagnostic analysis of transboundary problems, (iii)
prepare a full project brief and project document, (iv) secure co-financing
for the full project.

Yesterday, TeaChatters indicated that they drank tea first because they loved it, but also for the possible health benefits You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Welcome to TeaDay everyone. Let's brew and then share what we are drinking today, all day! So, share what is in your cup and check out what others are sipping. You can also reflect back on your TeaDay if you need to.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic goes back to food once more. We love tea, but we love food as well. So, what say you TeaChatters, which Tea Nation's food reigns supreme on TeaChat??? You can factor in authenticity of foods available...or keep it more general.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on TeaDay. Bottoms up...refill...repeat often.

I almost always cook my sausage in pan first, part of the reason is render out some of the fat. On any Pizza that cooks less then 15 minutes I would only use pre-cooked sausage. Now on a deep dish that spends 20-30 minutes in the oven you could use raw, and from time to time I do.DKM

Here's a look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.
Buyers' Guide
June 26, 2013
June 26, 2013
Here's how to chart a flight path that works for you.
August 23, 2012
Think of buying an airplane as an exercise akin to building a house or purchasing an old one.
August 7, 2012
Is flying privately an economically sound idea or is it just a wonderful way to travel? The answer depends a lot on your circumstances, but consider the following cost comparisons for two hypothetical trips by car, airliner and private aircraft. The numbers explain why, even in a down economy, the opportunities offered by business aviation remain attractive.
August 7, 2012
Jet cards, introduced just over a decade ago as bait for fractional-ownership programs, are now the access option of choice for many business aviation users. The cards are even finding a place in the wallets of numerous aircraft owners and dedicated charter customers.
August 7, 2012
The last decade's boom days for fractional shares and jet cards made traditional air charter seem almost old-fashioned–and unreliable, as the charter fleet was often busy meeting overflow demand from fractional and card programs. Then the economy tanked and the upfront and hourly costs of those programs rendered them less appealing than charter to many flyers. In the few years since, innovations such as one-way pricing and guaranteed access have made charter look even more attractive.
August 2, 2012
Despite the challenges facing business aircraft manufacturers, their offerings continue to grow, with many models scheduled to come online in the next few years and continuing innovation in design, features and functionality.
July 25, 2012
If you aren't a pilot, some of the aviation-related terms you encounter may seem confusing. Here's a glossary to help assure that when you hear words and acronyms from industry people, you'll nod with understanding instead of pausing with puzzlement.
July 25, 2012
The recession has slightly thinned the ranks of caterers that exclusively serve business aviation customers. But that is not altogether a bad thing. Those that have survived–more than 150 worldwide–have become more efficient and learned to listen more carefully to their clients. And the cuisine is better than ever.
July 25, 2012
No matter where you are–in a subway under New York, in a remote village in Africa or on a G550 hurtling through thin air at 51,000 feet–you want to be connected. We can't guarantee anything about the subway or the African village, but staying in touch while on a business jet has never been easier.
""How many leaders actively seek out and encourage views alien and at odds with their own? All too few...Who in your organization serves as your Challenger In Chief? Interrogating the choices you are considering making? Making you consider the uncontemplated, the unimaginable and that which contradicts or refutes your position? And also challenging you?""

Intel Corp. announced that it had initiated product discontinuance program for two of its high-performance Intel Pentium 4 processors clocked at 3.80GHz and 3.60GHz. The gradual cease of supply of the Pentium 4 500-series chips aligns product family offered by Intel Corp. and simplifies microprocessor choice for customers.
"Market demand for the Desktop Intel Pentium 4 processors 3.80GHz and 3.60GHz [with] 800FSB on 90nm Process Technology in the 775-Land Package has shifted to other Intel processors," an Intel's document for the partners reads.
The chips to be discontinued are Intel Pentium 4 models 571 and 561 which support Intel Enhanced Memory 64 technology (EM64T) and were introduced officially only in late June. While the firm plans to withdraw the models 571 and 561 from the list, it has not announced similar plans concerning less advanced chips with similar clock-speeds – 570J, 560J and 560 – that do not support EM64T. Customers who want to receive the chips should place their orders until 18th November, 2005. The company will supply the chips until March 16, 2006, and April 21, 2006, respectively for tray and boxed versions.
The plans to discontinue the aforementioned processors could be predicted: in late August the world's largest chipmaker announced plans to update nearly the whole family of EM64T-enabled Pentium 4 500-series chips with a new core stepping and did not reveal any intentions to revise the models 571 and 561. Furthermore, it did not slash pricing on the models in its mid-August price update, which led higher-end Intel Pentium 4 600-series processors to cost less than higher-end Intel Pentium 4 500-series chips, while typical models were sold at the same price.
While both families of Intel Pentium 4 processors are made using 90nm process technology, use LGA775 packaging as well as 800MHz processor system bus, the 600-series chips are more sophisticated in terms of functionality. Intel Pentium 4 processors 600 sequence support Enhanced Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), Execute Disable Bit (EDB) security capability, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology that reduces power consumption as well as contains 2MB of L2 cache. By contrast, Intel Pentium 500 family of chips sport only 1MB of level two cache, do not feature EIST and only in certain cases do not have EM64T and EDB enabled.

MLC to host WELS convention
NEW ULM – Approximately 500 Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) members will meet July 29 through Aug. 1 at Martin Luther College for the WELS 62nd biennial convention.
Pastors, teachers, staff ministers and lay members will gather to hear reports of the work the synod is doing as an international church body and to discuss a wide variety of topics regarding WELS ministry and operations.
WELS President Mark Schroeder explains the importance of this weeklong meeting. "Since the convention is the ultimate decision-making body in our synod, its actions should be considered important by every member of the synod. Resolutions adopted by the convention provide the direction and scope of the ministry we carry out as a synod. Often those decisions have far-reaching and long-range impact," says Schroeder.
The convention opens Monday, July 29, at 6 p.m. with a worship service in Chapel of the Christ.
Presiding Minister President Mark Schroeder and the Rev. Michael Shultz will be joined by singers and instrumentalists from area WELS churches.
The theme for this year's convention "In Christ Alone" was chosen because it encompasses the synod's foundation and focus of its mission and ministry.
WELS is the third largest Lutheran church body in the U.S.. It has approximately 1,300 churches in 49 states and 390,000 members. It carries out mission work in 23 countries around the world.

A little classical Thanksgiving music tonight.
Feeling any better?
Good evening, Publius, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you. ((HUGS))
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.
Good evening Kathy. Waiting for the daughter and SIL to get here for Thanksgiving. Wife called a few minutes ago and said she was at the airport waiting for them to arrive.
Turkey at home? Traveling for a family gathering?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving, Hawaii...((HUGS))
Well, Ladies.....I got a single post only one day. Now we are back to triples.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mike, and Jake and Minette and Gretchen.
2Cr 9:10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
2Cr 9:11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
2Cr 9:12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.
You must have held your mouth just right that day! LOL!
It's worth repeating, though. :)
Good evening, Arrowhead, and Happy Thanksgiving to you all. ((HUGS))
All your preparations under control?
Have a wonderful day with your family.
Thank You, LUV and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
One of my Favorites!
Happy Thanksgiving, LUV W!
Recently I walked into a hotel lobby that featured the largest arrangement of fresh flowers I have ever seen. It was bursting with color, perfectly arranged, and its fragrance was amazing. It stopped me in my tracks, and I lingered for a moment to admire its beauty. It made me think that there is something about abundance that captures our hearts. Think of the inviting beauty of a bowl overflowing with colorful fruit, or a countertop covered with three or four pies ready for enjoyment after a bountiful Thanksgiving meal.
The joy of abundance reminds me of the generosity of God. He makes our cup overflow (Ps. 23:5); He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Eph. 3:20); His grace is sufficient for any difficulty that life brings our way (2 Cor. 12:9); and it is He who kills the fatted calf and calls for the best robe when the prodigal returns (see Luke 15:20-24). No wonder the psalmist rejoices: How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house (Ps. 36:7-8). Our God is abundantly good. Lets overflow with praise for His many blessings.
Read: Psalm 36:5-12
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Linda. Gonna have some turkey?
Good evening Linda. I talked to my cousin Linda today and we both broke into tears. She is beside herself from the loss of her brother. We hugged each other for quite a time, but the pain will last for much, much longer.
Charlie is best known among financiers as one of the founders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York. It was Ives who invented the concept of life insurance as a tool of estate planning. He was a busy and successful insurance executive for his almost 80 years of life.
He was a Connecticut man by birth (1874), from Danbury. His father had been a rather dissolute Army bandmaster during the Civil War, and the old man had been court-martialed for drunkenness on more than one occasion. But he gave Charlie a sound foundation in music. The old man would play a tune on the violin in one key, and he expected Charlie to sing along with it one half-tone higher.
Charlie got his music degree at Yale during a period when the department was dominated by Germans. By day he worked in downtown Manhattan in the insurance game, and at night and on weekends he composed. Ives also worked as a church organist in Manhattan and proved to be a gifted arranger of hymns. At night in Manhattan, he would pop in at clubs in Harlem and sit down at the piano and accompany.
Charlie wanted to prove to himself that he could write a Romantic symphony in the tradition of Brahms and Dvorak. His Second Symphony from 1902 contains snippets of those composers plus Wagner, hymns, folk songs, the songs of Stephen Foster, and college tunes from Yale. It was ignored until 1951, when Leonard Bernstein conducted the premiere with the New York Philharmonic. It became a huge hit. Ives listened to it at home by radio and was so moved that he left the room to avoid people seeing him cry.
Its technically in five movements, but its really in three.
The first movement has a long introduction in B minor, followed by a really abrupt modulation to A-flat Major for a movement in sonata format. The introduction features a snippet from Bachs Third Brandenburg Concerto and another from the finale of Brahms First Symphony. Youll also recognize Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean on horns against Bach on strings.
The first movement contains references to Bringing in the Sheaves, Where are the Verdant Freshmen, Little Brown Jug, and Wagners Magic Fire Music from The Valkyrie.
The slow movement in F Major contains snippets of America the Beautiful, the slow movement of Dvoraks Sixth Symphony, and a host of folk tunes and hymns. See if you can spot them!
The finale begins with the same B minor introduction that started the work, but this time its drastically abridged. It executes an abrupt modulation to F Major for the finale itself, again in sonata format. This time the snippets quoted come from Camptown Races, Turkey in the Straw, Anchors Aweigh, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, and Reveille. At the coda, he plays all these themes on top of each other, and the end is the musical equivalent of an exploding cigar. Audiences laugh and applaud at the same time.

Thanks Kathy. We are ready for the "kids" to come home for a few days and then send them back home. To bad they don't have kids so we can spoil them and send them back home too.
Thank you Dave! :)
Good evening Meg and ((((HUGS))). Waiting for the daughter and SIL to get here. Pup is out for now, but waiting for the door to open. Blessings to all the troops and their supporters.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi, Kathy. Happy Holiday.
Hi, Arrow....it's good that you and Linda have each other and can hug and cry together during this incredibly hard and heartbreaking time for the family. God rest her dear brother's soul.
Turkey at your house? Traveling?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and God bless you and our troops!
Thank you..I am at my daughter's..more family coming tomorrow..I am blessed.
Yep. Will be going to a student's home tomorrow for Thanksgiving dinner.
I was told to "bring my Bass"
That would be an instrument, not a fish. LOL
I needed some old-fashioned, avuncular, retro Americana to raise my spirits.
Or maybe some spirits to raise my spirits.
Very nice! :)
Well, I can handle the first one! :)
I guess you're own on for the spirits. LOL!
Good evening, Luv, and Happy Thanksgiving...((HUGS))
Biscuits on the morning menu? Going out?
I tried to get my Mom to go out, but she would rather be home.
My "spirits" never go beyond the grape.
Small time! LOL!

I recently bought these DigestiMax to see if they would help with acid reflux issues. After a week or so of taking them with every meal I have found they helped a great deal, so much so that I have been able to gradually cut down and stop using prescribed medication (which, after some research I found to be potentially harmful!). It is early days yet but as long as you keep to a good diet, no sugar or processed carbs etc, then these should work a treat. The capsules are a bit large but should not be an issue to swallow. The ingredients in Digestimax should also help keep your gut bacteria down help with prevention of IBS amongst other ailments. But again, a good diet, like with all supplements, is essential.Goes Well With:Good Food!
I had begun to feel really sluggish and bloated after every meal. I had ruled out lactose and gluten intolerance so I had been trying to find a solution. Having read about the benefits of digestive enzymes I decided to give them a try. First thing I noticed is that the tablets are big.. And powdery (rub them on your palm a little before taking so they don't stick in your throat!). After eating I didn't feel bloated and around 90 mins later my stomach started rumbling. I'm so glad I bought these tablets. I can fit my 6 meals a day in now with no problemGoes Well With:Food!
A product not to be overlooked for anyone looking to bulk/on a surplus calorie diet, and struggling to get all the food down then! Within a matter of days, you'll notice your body is processing food faster, making you want that next meal sooner! A quick note - the tablets are definitely on the larger side, but still swallow-able, however straight out of the tin they are very chalky and have a tendency to stick to the tongue - give them a quick wipe down first to make them smoother.
Seems to help with bloating after carb heavy meal, get more colds when I stop taking it so I think it does the trick.Goes Well With:CLA
I've only started using this but I notice I'm not as bloated after my meals, personally it tastes weird but that could be just me. I'd recommend this if you've a lot of meals to fit in or even just to see if it works for you
I find these help me maintain a healthy digestive system.
Really worth while purchase always use to struggle getting 6 meals a day down me. Fed up of sitting down to next meal and not feeling hungry. this has definitely helped speed up digestion and increase gains
Thought my appetite wasn't good so I tried these to help me eat more. And they do work! It feels a bit different when I have eaten, and gives me some space for more food. Highly recommended
Very effective... I bought this because my friend recommended it to me and I have to say, it works like a charm. Thanks!
You need 2 tablets to feel some effects so that is the best value for money, but it still does what it suppose to do,. There is also some papaya after-taste.
I take this with every meal. Whey shakes too,and I really feel it aids my digestion! I recommend this to anyone.Goes Well With:food
I feel much better after a few weeks of taking this DigestiMax with each meal. It's not easy to swallow though.
After clean eating for 1 week I was really struggling with bloating and constipation. I found DigestMax which was a fraction of the price for a similar product I had been using until it ran out. I used 1 with each meal as stated but found this too much so I've reduced it to 1 per day at lunchtime and it's helping to keep everything regular.Goes Well With:Water
This DigestiMax is a very good product - ideal if you're taking a lot of protein as it helps to break it down! I would definitely recommend this product. Goes Well With:Any protein products!
I personally think DigestiMax is a good supplement and I feel it does aid in helping to get all the nutrients from your protein etc. however it does smell quite bad and it becomes even more during the month when using. It can be off putting. But I would still recommend it.
"it´s kinda hard to swallow, i chew the pill and then get it down whith some water. good digestions and less bloat. good overall product"
since starting on a high protein diet i have struggled slightly on the regularity and digestive front so when the opportunity presented itself to try this product on sale i gave it a go........\nA few tabs in and i can already tell and feel the difference.....even without eating the usual super high fibre foods\n\nanother 5 star product along with superb delivery & price!\n\ntop class site here at MP
"To expand on what i said on the forum, a good digestive enzyme / HCL supplement is invaluable for most people IMO. Almost everyone who is stressed-out and not eating a totally bang-on diet (most of us) needs digestive support, and there is more and more evidence to show a helluva lot of people have sub-optimal enzymatic and acid output in their guts. Its not 'you are what you eat' - its 'you are what you can digest'! The formula used in DigestiMax is an excellent blend of pancreatic enzymes and betain HCL, assisting your digestive track to attack food from both an enzymatic and acidicty perspective. Keeping stomach acid adequate during digestion is also critical for stopping nasty bacteria and viruses getting into your guts. I would keep DigestiMax as a staple."
"I have noticed since using DigestiMax that I feel less bloated/stuffed after meals (I take it breakfast, lunch & dinner). It's effects are especially noticeable for me with foods that usually cause wind/*farting in me no longer doing so (or at the least the volume of wind reduced to around 15-20% what I would usually expect to experience) the usual food culprits for me are:- kidney beans in my chilli-con-carne, pork (bacon/sausages), onions/leeks in any shape or form. A great example is the amount of cabbage I had in a Low-Carb Lasagne recipe last night (where pasta sheets are replaced instead with layers of cooked cabbage leaves) + I had excess cabbage leaves on the side of the dish as there was too much leftover from assembling the dish & I didn't want to see good vegetables go to waste in the bin - I didn't feel bloated after the meal & I didn't have to muffle the bedsheets to contain any nasty niffs at bedtime LOL.\n..........................................................................\n................................................................\n(*Sorry to be so blunt in my wording & I hope it doesn't seem crass of me - but it's true I'm less "windy" now!)\n..........................................................................\n................................................................\nThe quoted text below is from this MyProtein Forum Page: http://forum.myprotein.co.uk/supplements-formulas/25261-what-supplements-do-you-take-6.html#post360246\n[QUOTE=hailtotheking]A good digestive enzyme / HCL supplement is invaluable for most people IMO.

This DigestiMax is really helpful; a nice product.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Tough as it gets in the southDate of review: January 1, 2017
In short: Toughest/Best yet - climb was ~52.6m/km (Cat A Fell Race only needs 47.5m/km)In full: Fantastic ! Much nicer to start at the top, with civilised parking, even though the uphill finish was desperate :( I just wish my Fairy Wings worked better ;) Roll on next year anyway :) Date of review: January 1, 2015
In short: Mud, Rain, Slime, Mega-puddles but I still did a PB for the course :)In full: My knees and hips cant do 26m so I'm vey happy to get another bite at the 'LHH'.This is a course that rewards good training, and I love it.Its my longest run since aug12 when I tore my Achilles, and I did a PB, so I would be smug of course :)I might even have beaten the 1st lady if I hadn't gone aot in one of those puddlakes !Date of review: October 16, 2013
In short: Leave out the tarmac rubbish, its for woosies and really boringIn full: Less of a challenge this year, 23% longer but only 9.5% more hill makes it 11% softer at 42.2m/km.The old course was full Cat A Fell Race standard at 47.5m/km - the only one I know of around here ! (The Box Hill Fell Race later in the month is only 44.5m/km so thats a Cat B Fell Race)Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: Next year I want to do all of it at the pace I did the 1st 6k (then I crashed)In full: A lovely event. Just needs a marshal near the yha hostel to cope with crashers, as its a long walk down to the road from there dripping blood.Date of review: February 8, 2011
In short: Terrific course, a brilliant mud-free venue and excellent organisation.Date of review: November 20, 2010
In short: You are an evil sadistic man Dr. Rob, but I am definitely one of your disciples now ;) I now have a compulsion to enter the Midsummer Monro !In full: This race is such a fantastic challenge. There is no other race I've entered that requires so much self-discipline on your pace. The reward however, is being able to get up those steps to the bandstand(?) on the way back and still have enough to pick up your pace to your max work rate for a fantastic finish. I'm loving it.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: A tough never-ending hill to start, but after that a good mix of terrain. I'll be back :)In full: Great countryside to run in, and a good route across the hills.Its nice to have the toughest hill early on, and even nicer when you have a downhill to finish with a sprint.Challenging but rewarding.Date of review: February 7, 2010
In short: Magnificent downhill blasts and sobering uphill slogs. Extremely character building !Date of review: January 25, 2010
In short: All the uphills are worth the magnificent 1km downhill finish !Date of review: January 4, 2010

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $6.65 (35% off)
Pretty good
Posted by Reviewer2329261 on Aug 26, 2011
This is a good moisturizer at a great price. The reason I bought it, however, was to help decrease my dark under eye circles and I don't think it is helping for those. But for a moisturizer it is good - I put it under my eyes at night and they are still moist in the morning - the sign of a good cream.
Posted by Reviewer2218834 on Aug 28, 2010
This is pretty good, but I'm looking for something abit more effective, since I'm starting to get alot of under-eye wrinkles (perimenopause seems to affect skin alot). There's a generous amount of product here for the price though, and it does reduce puffiness.
Another manage your expectations product
Posted by Reviewer2201518 on Feb 06, 2015
I bought this because of a "convincing" review in Iherb - I should've known better right? This is a pretty standard eye cream. It's neither groundbreaking nor is it bad. Treat it as a basic eye cream, you know - better than none. It gave me milia so it's not a good fit for my skin. It's pretty good value at 28gms per jar - that almost like a full size bottle for face creams. I didn't finish this, gave it away because it wasn't doing anything special for me and it gave me milia.
Posted by Reviewer1487618 on Nov 29, 2011
An ok product. Cant't really notice any difference from before I started using it.
Su textura ,buena
Posted by 100mizuiro on Oct 25, 2013
Su textura en crema -gel es muy agradable a la hora de aplicarlo.Por ahora no he notado grandes cambios,si es verdad que desinflama las pequeñas bolsitas alrededor de los ojos ,pero en cuanto a las lineas de expresión no he notado el milagro.

MBT's latest version of the ever-popular Sport series! The perfect athletic-styled walking shoe for everyday activities as well as serious exercise. The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor emulates the feeling of walking on sand.
The MBT Sport 3 is part of the Extra Comfort Collection which provides an easy fit and extra comfort by offering extra volume.
MBT Sport 3 White Leather/Mesh Women's Shoe

Depending on where and when this style was manufactured there may be slight differences in the appearance of the shoe.
This MBT style features removable insoles so that you can add your own orthotic insoles. Although to fully benefit from the MBT technology the MBT shoes should be worn without orthotics.
If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
This one and the MBT faraja are my favorites. No more plantar fasciatis.
These fit true to size, and are very comfortable. I haven't had any issues with them - similar to the other MBT shoes I have bought. Only hope that the white mesh does not get dirty quickly, as these cannot be washed! Otherwise love them.
I have 4 pair of MBT and my husband has 5 pair. This tennis shoe is the only one I have ever been unhappy with the fit. The heal part rubs therefor I can only wear with a bandaid and for very short times. My 3 pair of sandles are fantastic. So disappointed that this pair just gathers dust in the closet.
I have been wearing MBTs for . . . as long as they have been available in the U.S. They are the best-made, most supportive sneakers around. As a former dancer I have had 6 knee surgeries and heel strikes cause me tremendous pain. MBTs absorb heel strikes allowing me to walk and exercise in comfort. You cannot do better than a pair of MBTs.
True to Size
With several issues on both feet, thankfully I was introduced to these shoes at my local Footwear store in San Diego. I actually tried two other athletic shoes - wore then home and for a week - but had to take them both back. The MBT's are great though. Have to have my inserts in them of course. Didn't take too long to get used to the balance thing with them and I like it now - I've had them about two months.
Love these shoes! One knee was hurting after long hill walks but MBTs cured that instantly. Remarkable. This is my 3rd pair.
This is really great shoes! i can wear it the whole day. This is my 3rd pair of MBT and am just loving it each day! This is very comfortable and great to walk in.

My hat goes off to those who contribute to these economic outlook articles. Industry analysts, leading manufacturers, distributors and dealers openly share their research explaining the past performance and predicting the year to come. These companies have devoted untold financial and manpower resources gathering this industry specific data. They deliver all this knowledge of the past and a picture of the future to us at no cost to us to do with as we wish.
What would you do if you had a crystal ball showing you the future? Well, essentially, that is what these economic outlook articles delivera picture of 2012 as drawn by the industry's leading experts. These companies have handed you the most factual description of 2012. Now it is up to you to take this information and apply it to your business.
I am sure many readers peruse these pages and look at the industry trend as justification why their business performed as it did. "See, it wasn't just me, the whole industry was down.bCrLf Some see that they performed better than the norm and vow to "stay the coursebCrLf for the coming year. While yet others may ignore the articles completely.
The wise businessman takes this national picture, studies it and develops a 2012 picture for his/her business in his/her marketplace. It's called a Business Plan. Many of you have already developed an annual business plan. If you have a business plan, take this 2012 outlook and review your company plan making adjustments with this new found knowledge.
If you don't have a business plan, now is the time to put one together. In laymen terms, your plan establishes your goals and objectives for 2012 and analyzes what you need to do to reach them. It's not a highly technical process and is based on common sense. You need to start with the industry "crystal ballbCrLf picture and study your marketplace to set your realistic business and profit goals. You then need to analyze all the key areas of your business to be sure they fit your plan.
Based on your marketplace demographics, you'll need to draw a picture of your target customer, their age, family size, home size, annual income, likes and dislikes. Armed with that information, you need to look at the products and price points you offer to be sure they are acceptable to and appeal to your target customer.
Before you put together a marketing and advertising plan to reach this target customer, you best study the competitive environment to see how many other companies are going after this same customer base. It could be that there are more companies targeting too few customers. If that is the case, you need to reposition your business to go after a customer segment that can reach your goals.
With a clear picture of your customer, you can develop an advertising and promotion plan to deliver your message and bring those customers to your store. With the right products at the right price marketed to your target customer, you'll want to take a good look at your sales team to be sure they are trained to best sell and service your target customer.
All these elements must be designed to support and deliver your financial objectives. After all, your business plan must be based on making a profit. The economic outlook articles help guide you to establishing realistic profit goals.
The economic indicators and most prognosticators agree that the U.S. economy will remain flat through 2012 with growth of about 2 percent for a repeat performance of 2011. That's the crystal ball! While that may not be great news, it helps you set your 2012 goals based on your company's 2011 performance with a 2 percent increase.
Don't just read this issue and place it aside. Study it. Highlight the areas that speak to the products you carry. Check the Internet for one of the many worksheets and articles on how to develop your Business Plan. Then plan the work and work the plan.
