Kicking the tobacco habit offers some benefits that you'll notice right away and some that will develop over time. These rewards improve most peoples' day-to-day lives a great deal:
- Breath smells better
- Stained teeth get whiter
- Bad smell in clothes and hair go away
- Yellow fingers and fingernails disappear
- Food tastes better
- Sense of smell returns to normal
- Everyday activities (such as climbing stairs or light housework) no longer leave them out of breath
- They can be in smoke-free buildings without having to go outside to smoke.
The prospect of better health is a major reason for quitting, but there are other reasons, too.
Smoking is expensive. It isn't hard to figure out how much you spend on smoking: multiply how much money you spend on tobacco every day by 365 (days per year). The amount may surprise you. Now multiply that by the number of years you have been using tobacco and that amount will probably shock you.
Multiply the cost per year by 10 (for the next 10 years) and ask yourself what you would rather do with that much money.
And this doesn't include other possible costs, such as higher costs for health and life insurance, and likely health care costs due to tobacco-related problems.
Social acceptance
Smoking is less socially acceptable now than ever. This can cost you in terms of friends, money, and convenience.
Today, almost all workplaces have some type of smoking rules. Some employers even prefer to hire non-smokers. Studies show smoking employees cost businesses more. In fact, one 2013 study found that for each employee who successfully quits tobacco, an employer can expect to see an annual savings of about $5,800. Employees who smoke tend to be out sick more. Employees who are ill more often than others can raise an employer's need for costly short-term replacement workers. They can increase insurance costs for other employees and for the employer, who often pays part of the workers' insurance premiums. Regular smoking breaks mean time away from work. Smokers in a building also can increase the maintenance costs of keeping odors down, since residue from cigarette smoke gets into to carpets, drapes, and other fabrics.
Smoking is banned in most public elementary and secondary school buildings and, in many states, it's banned on school campuses. It's common for colleges and universities to have no-smoking policies for all campus buildings, including residential housing. And many are moving toward smoke-free campuses, even in outdoor areas.
Landlords may choose not to rent to smokers since maintenance costs and insurance rates may go up when smokers live in buildings. Resale values are lower on buildings, homes, and cars that smell like old smoke.
Friends may ask you not to smoke in their homes or cars. Public buildings, concerts, and even sporting events are largely smoke-free. And more and more communities are restricting smoking in all public places, including restaurants and bars. Like it or not, finding a place to smoke can be a hassle.
Smokers may also find their prospects for dating or romantic involvement, including marriage, are largely limited to other smokers. Cigarette smokers now make up about 18% of the adult population.
Health of others
Smoking not only harms your health but it hurts the health of those around you. Exposure to secondhand smoke (also called environmental tobacco smoke or passive smoking) includes exhaled smoke as well as smoke from burning cigarettes.
Studies have shown that secondhand smoke causes thousands of deaths each year from lung cancer in healthy non-smokers. Over the past 50 years, this amounts to more than 2.5 million deaths from secondhand smoke.
If a mother smokes, there is a higher risk of her baby developing asthma in childhood, especially if she smoked while she was pregnant. Women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have babies with cleft lip, cleft palate, and low birth weight.
Babies and children raised in a household where there is smoking have more ear infections, colds, bronchitis, and problems with breathing than children in non-smoking families. Secondhand smoke is linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and slow lung growth in children. Secondhand smoke can also cause eye irritation, headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
To learn more, please see our document called Secondhand Smoke.
Setting an example
If you have children, you probably want to set a good example for them. When asked, nearly all smokers say they don't want their children to smoke. But children whose parents smoke are more likely to start smoking themselves. You can become a better role model for them by quitting now.

Quotes of the day from previous years:
- 2005
- I have one major rule: everybody is right. More specifically, everybody — including me — has some important pieces of the truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored, cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace. ~ Ken Wilber
- selected by Kalki
- 2006
- Everyone does magic all the time in different ways. 'Life' plus 'significance' = magic. ~ Grant Morrison
- proposed by Kalki
- 2007
- Science is clearly one of the most profound methods that humans have yet devised for discovering truth, while religion remains the single greatest force for generating meaning. … if some sort of reconciliation between science and religion is not forthcoming, the future of humanity is, at best, precarious. ~ Ken Wilber
- proposed by Kalki
- 2008
- At this point in history, the most radical, pervasive, and earth-shaking transformation would occur simply if everybody truly evolved to a mature, rational, and responsible ego, capable of freely participating in the open exchange of mutual self-esteem. There is the "edge of history." There would be a real New Age. ~ Ken Wilber
- proposed by Kalki
- 2009
- A full-spectrum approach to human consciousness and behavior means that men and women have available to them a spectrum of knowing — a spectrum that includes, at the very least, the eye of flesh, the eye of mind, and the eye of spirit. ~ Ken Wilber
- proposed by Kalki
- 2010
- Anybody can they say they are being "spiritual" — and they are, because everybody has some type and level of concern. Let us therefore see their actual conception, in thought and action, and see how many perspectives it is in fact concerned with, and how many perspectives it actually takes into account, and how many perspectives it attempts to integrate, and thus let us see how deep and how wide runs that bodhisattva vow to refuse rest until all perspectives whatsoever are liberated into their own primordial nature. ~ Ken Wilber
- proposed by Kalki
- 2011
- Attunement could occur through any of the great religions, but would be tied exclusively to none of them. A person could be attuned to an "integral spirituality" while still be a practicing Christian, Buddhist, New-Age advocate, or Neopagan. This would be something added to one's religion, not subtracted from it. The only thing it would subtract (and there's no way around this) is the belief that one's own path is the only true path to salvation.~ Ken Wilber
- proposed by Kalki
- 2012
- Are the mystics and sages insane? Because they all tell variations on the same story, don't they? The story of awakening one morning and discovering you are one with the All, in a timeless and eternal and infinite fashion. Yes, maybe they are crazy, these divine fools. Maybe they are mumbling idiots in the face of the Abyss. Maybe they need a nice, understanding therapist. Yes, I'm sure that would help. But then, I wonder. Maybe the evolutionary sequence really is from matter to body to mind to soul to spirit, each transcending and including, each with a greater depth and greater consciousness and wider embrace. And in the highest reaches of evolution, maybe, just maybe, an individual's consciousness does indeed touch infinity — a total embrace of the entire Kosmos — a Kosmic consciousness that is Spirit awakened to its own true nature. It's at least plausible. And tell me: is that story, sung by mystics and sages the world over, any crazier than the scientific materialism story, which is that the entire sequence is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying absolutely nothing? Listen very carefully: just which of those two stories actually sounds totally insane? ~ Ken Wilber
- proposed by Kalki
- 2013
|Everything is literally entangled, it can all be communicated with and affected "at a distance" because there is no distance, only a simulation of apparent separation which our limited consciousness feeds us second by second at 11 bits. The "telepathy" which brings people together is no more or less supernatural or unlikely than the "telepathy" which brings two of your fingers together when you think about it. Patience, participation and constant close observation of what's going on, on the inside and on the outside will soon make you a fine sorcerer, if that's what you want to be.
|~ Grant Morrison ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2014
|Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.
|~ Augustine of Hippo ~
- proposed by Kalki to start off the Chinese zodiac Year of the Horse, beginning this date in 2014…
- 2015
|To bear up under loss — to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief — to be victor over anger — to smile when tears are close — to resist evil men and base instincts — to hate hate and to love love — to go on when it would seem good to die — to seek ever after the glory and the dream — to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be — that is what any man can do, and so be great.
|~ Zane Grey ~
- proposed by bystander
- 2016
|The cynic says "blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed." I say "blessed is he who expecteth everything, for he can't always be disappointed.
|~ Tallulah Bankhead ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2017

The Realization of the Nondual traditions is uncompromising: There is only Spirit, there is only God, there is only Emptiness in all its radiant wonder. All the good and all the evil, the very best and the very worst, the upright and the degenerate — each and all are radically perfect manifestations of Spirit precisely as they are. There is nothing but God, nothing but the Goddess, nothing but Spirit in all directions, and not a grain of sand, not a speck of dust, is more or less Spirit than any other.~ Ken Wilber

|Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.

|The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Why doesn't the formula you stated work? GM is revenue - COGS. Each pizza you sell will have a selling price and a cost of the goods to make it. The difference is gross margin.
If you have a wide variance in costs for each pizza on the menu, you'll have to estimate your product mix for a pro forma. You can vary the mix and show margins for those mixes. For example, Group A pizzas (high cost) @ 33% sales, Group B (mid cost) @ 33% sales and Group C (low cost) @ 33% sales.You can also budget costs for toppings and use a simple margin for your estimate. For example, budget costs for dough, cheese, meat/seafood, vegetables, spices, packaging/paper, etc., and use that for your pro forma.Depending on your market and business plan (delco, eat in, etc), margins run from 20-35%. I run about 24%, but your situation will not be the same as mine.Since this is your first pizza rodeo, your business will likely not be anything like you thought it would be after a year in business, anyway. You'll change and adjust many things along the way.Good luck!
I'm sorry. I misspoke. My costs run about 24%.Glad you found some value in the post.Cheers

What Emancipation Means
Arizona permits teens who are sixteen or seventeen to file a motion to become emancipated. An emancipated teen is legally free from their parents or legal guardian. Once emancipated a teen has many of the same rights and obligations as an adult.
A teen may apply to the court to be emancipated if they are at least sixteen, a resident of the state of Arizona, financially self-sufficient and not a ward of the court. The teen will also need to provide proof that they have been living on their own for at least three months, or provide a statement explaining why their home is an unsafe environment or provide a notarized document from their parents consenting to the emancipation.
Once a teen is emancipated, their parents are no longer financially responsible for the teen. The parents will not be required to provide health insurance, food, or clothing. Also, if the teen causes damage to another's property, the parents cannot be held responsible.

More regional economic cooperation
When we put "Our Region" on our agenda back in January we were focused primarily on the success of Advance Now, the regional economic development plan to which we have hitched our global economic competition wagon.
That focus remains very important. But in the last nine months Thrive became MadREP, and while Advance Now is still the strategic plan on the table it has been joined by a new, exciting initiative on the tech start-up side of things with a placed-based vision for the East Washington Avenue corridor.
Called Starting Block, this combination open space, maker space, sustainability sector, innovation center is a laboratory for entrepreneurship that will complement existing entities like the UW Research Park, Metro Innovation Center, American Family DreamBank and others as magnets for smart people with creative ideas.
There's a growing eco-system of support from the Greater Madison business community and an interest in collaboration with Janesville, Milwaukee, Chicago and elsewhere that holds exciting possibilities for the future.

Sony Corp. wants to develop a "a cell phone – game gear hybrid" in an attempt to reach new markets with its video gaming business as well as better compete against Apple iPhone platform for the end-users as well as game developers.
Sony plans to set up a project team as early as July to develop a new product that combines functions of its PlayStation Portable handheld entertainment system and Sony Ericsson's mobile phones, according to Nikkei Business Daily news-paper, reports Reuters news-agency. If the report is correct, then the highly-anticipated PlayStation smartphone will finally enter the market after years of speculation.
In mid-May '09 Hideki Komiyama, president of Sony Ericsson, said in an interview that Sony Ericsson PlayStation-branded phone "could happen" in case both parties are interested in creating a handset aimed at gamers.
Earlier this year Sony executives reportedly told colleagues at Sony Ericsson that the company would only license the PlayStation brand if and when Sony makes handsets independently, which is effectively pushing for an exit from the joint venture with Ericsson. Nonetheless, Ericsson had its own explanation on the matter: there is no PlayStation phone in the plans since there is no powerful enough hardware for it.
"In the past, we have been keen that our product proposition lives up to brand promise, and we feel at the moment the technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone," said a spokeswoman for Sony Ericsson.
Neither Sony nor Sony Ericsson commented on the news-report.

Gotthard, a Swiss hard rock band that sings in English, are one of the most successful musical acts ever to arise from Switzerland. Gotthard sold over two million albums worldwide, one million of them sold in Switzerland alone (a country of less than eight million inhabitants, keep in mind), as practically all of the band's albums were Swiss chart-toppers. Gotthard were also popular in Germany, where the band's albums regularly charted. Formed in Lugano, a town in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino in the far south of Switzerland, the band was initially named Krak and was comprised of vocalist Steve Lee, guitarist Leo Leoni, bassist Marc Lynn, and drummer Hena Habegger. Under the guidance of Krokus bassist/songwriter/founder Chris von Rohr, the band changed its name to Gotthard (a name derived from Saint Gotthard, a Roman Catholic saint after which the well-known St. Gotthard Pass in Switzerland was named) and signed a recording contract with BMG.
With von Rohr at the helm as their producer and co-songwriter, the band went about recording its debut, Gotthard (1992). In addition to von Rohr, Lee and Leoni were the primary songwriters, and Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell played on two songs ("Firedance," "Get Down"). Gotthard spawned a pair of MTV-aired videos ("Hush," "All I Care For") and spent 15 weeks on the Swiss chart, peaking at number five and ultimately earning platinum status. After some international touring, Gotthard returned to the studio with von Rohr once again at the helm as producer/co-songwriter, resulting in Dial Hard (1994), the band's second album. Even more successful than Gotthard, Dial Hard spent several weeks at number one in Switzerland, charted in Germany and Japan, and ultimately went platinum, thanks in part to MTV-aired videos for "Mountain Mama" and "I'm on My Way."
In 1995, the band and von Rohr traveled to Los Angeles to record a follow-up album, G. (1996), whose release was preceded by the single "Father Is That Enough?" A chart-topper in Switzerland and Top 50 in Germany, G. was promoted with a sold-out Swiss tour, a 20-date German tour, and a Japanese tour as well. Mandy Meyer, onetime guitarist for Asia (Astra, 1985), joined the band membership at this point. (He later left in 2004 and was replaced by Freddy Scherer.) Gotthard's popularity continued unabated in the wake of G., which might have been the band's moment of peak popularity. D-Frosted (1997), a live unplugged album, and Open (1999), a standard studio effort, each spent five weeks atop the Swiss album chart. Gotthard were touring throughout Europe at this point, and in 2000 they enjoyed their first number one single, "Heaven." Successive album releases continued to hit number one in Switzerland while charting respectably in Germany: Homerun (2001), the ballad collection One Life One Soul (2002), Human Zoo (2003), the best-of collection One Team One Spirit (2004), Lipservice (2005), the live album Made in Switzerland (2006), and Domino Effect (2007). Two years later, the band delivered Need to Believe in 2009. Tragically, singer Steve Lee was killed near Mesquite, Nevada in October 2010 when a semi-truck swerved into a parked motorcycle which then struck Lee, who was standing beside the road with a group of traveling companions.

Benh Zeiltin and his small film crew, Court 13, believe in making films that take them on terrific adventures and push them to life's limits. For their critically-acclaimed, breakout feature Beasts of the Southern Wild, the team set up production in an abandoned convenience store in Montegut, Louisiana with the hope to make film that celebrates a place where people refuse to leave their homes—no matter how dire the situation is.
Special Effects Unit Director Ray Tintori talks us through the film's visual effects, and how they had to navigate shots around the tragic Louisiana oil spill. Find out how Zeiltin's blown up truck became a prop, and how "as a community you can challenge some pretty fierce odds" in our behind-the-scenes documentary.

Nice healthy grain
Posted by Reviewer1533331 on Jul 19, 2011
I have read that Amaranth is a high-protein healthy "grain" (actually it is a seed). Did not know what to expect since I had never tried it before, but it's very good. Soak it about 8 hours, then cook for about 15 minutes by simmering. You do not want to overcook, since the grains are VERY tiny. Drain through a sieve. Has a pleasant flavor.
Posted by naturalorganic on Sep 07, 2013
Really good amaranth. I use it with quinoa and millet in the morning together to make a very nice porridge. Tastes so good with a banana and cinnamon on top. Yummie!
Easy Sprouts!
Posted by Reviewer2257340 on Apr 29, 2008
The sproutpeople.com website say amaranth doesn't even need soaking. Just moisten and sprout. But I found I had to soak for an hour because these tiny seeds would fall right through the holes in my mesh strainer! They were ready to enjoy in just 12 hours! Tasty! Easy! Nutritious!
Posted by Reviewer1490026 on Dec 20, 2008
What a healthy addition to any diet. I love it with a small handful of cashews, a diced bosc pear and about a tablespoon of honey. Delicious.
Posted by Reviewer2144919 on Apr 16, 2010
great when you need fiber for your soup, bread, cereal etc.
From Russia with love
Posted by Olechka on Nov 08, 2011
Excellent! Knowing about the benefits of amaranth, buy at that price just super organic. In a tenderized like a fine caviar.
Love the product
Posted by Reviewer1321093 on Apr 23, 2014
I used to eat outmeal each morning, now my preferred breakfast is amaranth! I mix it up with a bit of flavoured protein, add some nuts and the supper nutritional meal is ready! Highly recommended
Easier to digest
Posted by Reviewer1739283 on Mar 25, 2008
This grain is so small that I don't need to pre-soak it. It takes longer to cook than some of the other grains, but is worth it.
Great replacement

for cream of wheat. No gluten, just great taste and body building protein.
Good Product

The product was of good quality and had a couple of recipes on the packaging, which I tried with good results.

The difference in how useful you are between 1-2 pods a game and 4-5 pods a game isn't really all that much, however it is DOES help. In a tournament every single bit helps so you're going to shoot that. For normal rec play it's not worth it to me... depends on your financial situation.

carry less paint, run 2 or 3 pods on your back. you will quickly find yourself using less.
I don't even use a pack lol
Posted 25 May 2012 - 11:35 PM
I just decided i use way to much paint when i realized i go into every game with at least 7 pods and usually go through 4-5 pods every match. But then again i do play back or mid so i feel like for a back player thats not that much any thoughts.
Dude, it's your finger on the trigger.
Only you can decide how much is enough, or when it's too much. (or not enough)

Not to nitpick, but does yeast really dissolve? Don't you wind up with a stratified layer at yeast's molecular weight compared to h20? And if stirring, you have to consider clumping and turbulence and sticky areas on the walls, right?
I'd like to get this nailed down so it could be added to the other thread detailing the whole process - so it could be recreated with baker's yeast. Any input is welcome.
I tried to follow your process and used 0.02% ADY, I found it to work pretty well except that the dough was a bit too extensible at 62.5% hydration. You had commented before that the sourdough acids may help to tighten up the dough some. The temperature varied between 60F and 65F for the bulk rise of 26 hours. Balled then about 65F for 12 hours and 74F for 4 hours prior to baking.
At ~65F?
At 65F, and using your extended bulk, I would say start with .05%. But I think even that may be too much. Use water that is 65F when mixing, so the yeast does not get ahead of you.John
I would think even ~40F water like I use with SD might be the way to go. Thoughts?
Probably the best way to approach it. I have always had varying results with different "brands" of CY. Sometimes I get a package, and the dough starts to expand before your eyes, way too early. And sometimes it goes too slowly and never hits the mark. The most consistent results I have had always came from the large block you get at RD. Total overkill, especially when using such low percentages though.John
That's why I like ADY for pizza at home - not that I use it very often. I have not used CY since I worked in a restaurant almost 20 years ago. We used it for all our bread. I went through a case - not a 1# block - every week.
Yes, I rarely use CY anymore because it is so perishable. I only make pizza once a week anyway, and most of the time it is SD. I have a large bag of SAF Gold IDY that works like a charm every time - truth be told I probably can't tell the difference in taste from that and CY.John
Craig,Awesome as usual. One question: do you ever drink beer with your pizza's...I am with you as an oenophile, but you have posted highly of Shiner, and I was wondering if beer ever makes it into your rotation? Adam
Every single one of those are just top shelf....I would have a hard time choosing which one to taste first. Excellent work there Craig.
Stunning as always.......Craig, are the various toppings selections/combinations your inspirations?
Craig, on the Mushroom and Truffle Oil pie, is that some sort of light colored sauce underneath the cheese? To me it kinda looks like a breakfast gravy, but I'm 80% color blind and that may just be my eyes playing tricks on me. It would be nice BTW to have one of those pies, or at least the energy to make something 1/10 as good looking.
Awesome Craig! What kind of pepperoni is that? I like the way it cups.Scott D.
I tried 60% HR last night. That is the lowest I've gone in a long time - if not ever. I liked the way the dough handled a lot. I think I need to let the balls rise a little more (bring them up to temp sooner in the day) than with 62.5%. I'm going to work with this HR for a while and see how things go.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Jack Decent Racquet! I play high school tennis and I have had this for about a year now. This racquet is great. It's light and feels like you can put in some damage. The head of the racquet is kind of more circular than other racquets so it's not as long, but is a bit wider. A bit awkward but you get used to it. Overall great racquet! March 15, 2013

I stuck with BBEdit for so long because it could scan folders and folders for a line of code. Almost better than Apple's solution called spotlight.

Lynn looks to prove himself in possible clinch gamePosted Friday, October 19, 2012, at 2:07 AM
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-- When Lance Lynn takes the ball for the St. Louis Cardinals Friday in the potential National League Championship Series, he plans to show that he is not the pitcher struggled through Game 1.
In his first ever postseason start, Lynn gave up four runs on five hits in only 3.2 innings pitched--not his best effort.
When asked what specifically he felt like needed to be improved on from his last game, Lynn laughed.
"Not give four straight two out hits up in one inning," he said.
In his defense, Lynn had come in from the bullpen in four of the previous six games. That means his normal between start routine has been in shambles until the period between his last start and Friday's.
"Everything was the same as it would have been during the season," he said. "You have your normal rest. You're able to do your normal things that you need to do in between with the bullpens and things like that. So, I'm looking forward to having that feeling going into this one."
Lynn has a good support network, however, to help him understand how to handle both the pressure of the postseason and the best way to be ready to go.
He said that Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright push him to be everything he is capable of and to always strive to improve.
"To have those guys to teach me how to work in between starts, teach me when it's good to throw a longer side or shorter side--you kind of--you learn how to work around those days off and when you can work harder or when you need to work smarter," he said. "Those guys, they know how to do it and they've done it successful for a while. So it's a good group to learn from."
The pitchers aren't his only backers.
Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has played possibly the most vital role for Lynn in his mental prep both throughout the regular season and during the postseason.
"He does his homework on hitters," Lynn said. "He knows everything that they've done all year or what they've been doing in the last week or so in changing their approach to what we've been doing to them.
He has a great feel for what they're trying to do and he knows how we can be successful.
"You have the most faith that you can have with someone every time he puts down a finger you know that there's a good thought behind it," he said. "He's not just down there putting fingers down for the heck of it."
Lynn said he's ready for Friday's start and doesn't seem intimidated by the fact that it is a clinch situation.
He said he's just treating it like it's any other start and plans to go out, throw strikes and stay ahead in the count--the basics.
He stressed the importance of not trying to overdo.
"We're in the playoffs," Lynn said with a smile. "It doesn't matter when you pitch or where you'll pitch as long as they feel that you can get the job done and they call your name. It's enjoyable, no matter what the situation or the time of it."
One thing is for sure, when he takes the mound Friday evening, he'll leave everything he has on the field.

That was the second straight game he wasn't able to make it out of the 4th inning. I am asking myself as to what kind of pitching schedule they have him on because there are some factors. Either his between starts conditioning isn't working or he is having dead arm.
-- Posted by Jolly Dump on Sat, Oct 20, 2012, at 10:20 AM
Corey NolesI'm not sure. I think a lot of it is mental right now. In both games he was absolutely lights out until the fourth inning. Friday night he was hitless through three innings and then almost instantly fell apart. I don't think he ever got past the error last night to be honest.

Aggie Athletes Involved (AAI) is a community service group comprised of student-athletes. For the past 18 years, student-athletes from all intercollegiate sports at TAMU have volunteered their time to take part in events that help the Brazos Valley and campus community.
This service group is one of the most active athletic related service groups in the country. Average participation typically consists of over 350 student athletes taking part in one or more activities or events. Events that AAI is involved with include mentoring programs, red ribbon and drug awareness activities, the Brazos Valley Food Bank, the Special Olympics, the Children's Miracle Network, Big Event, Aggie Sports Day, Aggies CAN, NYSP Car Wash, and the KBTX Food For Families.
It has been, and will continue to be, the goal of AAI to create an opportunity for young people to spend time and interact on a personal level with student athletes from different teams.
Through the variety of interactions offered, it is hoped that student-athletes will appreciate the importance of service and take this appreciation with them as they leave the university environment.
For more information contact the AAI advisor Mona Osborne at 862-6027.

Who Makes the Rules in a Classroom? asks Nancy Flanagan on Teacher in a Strange Land. According to the latest dogma, good teachers get students to collectively write their own classroom rules.
It seems democratic and encourages "buy-in," teachers believe, even if students are just as likely to break their own rules as ones set by teachers.
When Flanagan tried it in her own music classroom, students came up with a list of "don'ts" — as in don't empty your spit valve on someone else's chair — but "it never felt as if we were wrestling with the really important issues: Building a functioning community. Safety. Personal dignity. Kindness. Order. Academic integrity. Democracy."
She offers ideas about creating classroom rules, such as:
•You're shooting for influence, not control. Fact is, teachers never have absolute control over kids, even using techniques like fear, punishment, isolation and intimidation. (In edu-speak, "consequences.") You want kids to behave appropriately because they understand that there are rewards for everyone in a civil classroom.
•No matter what rules you put on paper, your most important job is role-modeling those practices, not enforcing them. Behave the way you want kids to behave: Ignore minor, brainless bids for attention. Make eye contact with speakers. Don't be an attention hog–your stories aren't more important than theirs. Don't be rude to kids. Apologize publicly when you're wrong. Remember that you're the adult in the room. It's your calm presence that institutes order, not rules.
Don't restate the obvious or load up on "don'ts," she advises. But do give clear instructions when needed. "Stress: order facilitates learning, makes the class a pleasant place to be."
•Integrity helps build community. The most important directives in democratic classrooms are around ethical practices: A clear definition of cheating, understood by all students, in the digital age. Why trust and personal best are more important than winning. Why substandard work isn't ever OK. How true leadership–kids want to be leaders, too– is a function of respect.
"Carrots and sticks" can be counter-productive, Flanagan writes. Students' good behavior is its own reward: They get to attend a "civil, well-managed" school.

LITTLE ROCK - Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced today that the State has reached agreement with some of the world's largest manufacturers of flat-panel liquid crystal display screens, settling a federal lawsuit that alleged the companies' executives conspired to fix the prices of LCD screens in consumers' televisions, computer monitors and other electronic devices.
Settlements were reached with the majority of defendants sued by McDaniel in August 2010. The settlements include the resolution of claims by McDaniel, seven other attorneys general, and a national class action. The settlements collectively provide more than $500 million for a settlement fund for consumers and businesses in 25 states, including Arkansas.
"When companies collude to raise prices in violation of antitrust laws, Arkansas consumers suffer," McDaniel said. "Throughout this protracted litigation, my office worked to ensure that consumers do not pay the price for the illegal activities of these companies. We believe this settlement will benefit Arkansas consumers, businesses and government entities that were victims of this price-fixing scheme."
The settling companies have also resolved claims brought by McDaniel for civil penalties under the Arkansas Unfair Practice Act.
The lawsuit filed last year was the result of a year-long multistate investigation. The complaint accused top executives of several companies of holding numerous secret meetings from at least 1999 to at least 2006 for the purpose of exchanging information and setting prices on LCD panels. Companies such as Dell, Apple and Hewlett Packard were among those targeted by the manufacturers' price fixing.
Settling Defendants include: Chimei Innolux Corp.; Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA, Inc.; Chi Mei Optoelectronics Japan Co., Ltd.; HannStar Display Corporation; Hitachi, Ltd.; Hitachi Displays, Ltd.; Hitachi Electronic Devices, USA, Inc.; Samsung Electronics, Co., Ltd.; Samsung Electronics America, Inc.; Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.; Sharp Corporation; and Sharp Electronics Corporation. The settling defendants deny any wrongdoing.
McDaniel is joined by the Attorneys General of California, Florida, Missouri, Michigan, New York, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, as well as a class action brought on behalf of private claimants.
The Attorney General's litigation continues against LG Display Co., Ltd., LG Display America, Inc., AU Optronics Corporation, and AU Optronics Corporation America.
The LG Display defendants pleaded guilty to federal charges for price fixing TFT-LCD panels in 2008 and paid $400 million in federal fines. The AU Optronics defendants, along with several employees, have been indicted on charges of price fixing and are scheduled to go to trial in January on those criminal charges.
Because litigation continues against the remaining defendants, the settlement fund will not be distributed until the litigation is concluded so as to enable any additional recoveries to be included. McDaniel's suit against the remaining defendants is scheduled for trial in November 2012.
The settlement, which is subject to court approval, will provide restitution to Arkansas residents and businesses, as well as governmental entities. Following completion of the litigation, a claims process will be announced.

Jenkins ready to herald 'new era of banking'
Antony Jenkins, chief executive of Barclays, will today herald a "new era of banking" as he attempts to detoxify the reputation of the British lender following a six month review.
In a presentation this morning at the Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Hall headquarters, located close to the UK's Houses of Parliament in Westminster, he will announce a retreat from some of the bank's more controversial business lines and a vision for its future as a socially conscious lender.
He will say: "We get it. The old ways weren't the right way to behave nor did they deliver the right results – for banks themselves or for wider society.
"There must be a new approach for a new era of banking. Banks that fail to change will become failing banks. My message is that Barclays is changing." Financial News examines some of the key policies likely to be unveiled by the bank, based on recent press reports and analysts' expectations.
• Structured capital markets The most widely trailed outcome of the review. Jenkins is expected to announce a partial closure of the unit and denounce aggressive tax planning as "incompatible" with a new set of "tax principles" being published by the bank.
Barclays will continue to offer tax-minimising advice, while people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the business has been hiring employees recently.
• Commodity trading The controversial trading of "soft commodities" such as coffee will be scaled back following the review, executives told the WSJ. The practice had attracted significant criticism; including from the World Development Movement, a charity which has staged protests outside Barclays' annual shareholder meetings in recent years.
A senior executive told the WSJ: "We're a big player, but does it pass the smell test of what society would think of this?"
• Asian equities Barclays' former chief executive Bob Diamond spearheaded an ambitious expansion of its investment banking operations in Asia, however the firm remains a second-tier player in the region.
Gary Greenwood, banks analyst at Shore Capital, wrote in a note on February 8 that he expected Asian equities to be wound down.
• Headcount Barclays is expected to cut some 2,000 jobs in its investment bank, the WSJ reported in December. The figure amounts to around 10% of the investment bank's overall work force.
Further details are likely to emerge today, although the majority of the cuts are likely to be in Asia and Central Europe, according to the WSJ.
• The seven labours of Antony Jenkins FN editor Ben Wright wrote in December that Jenkins must face up to seven labours; or the modern-day banking industry equivalent of the 12 tasks completed by Greek legend Hercules.
"Jenkins' strategy must strike a delicate balance – more akin to taming Diomedes' horses than lopping off the hydra's heads. He must find a way to convince shareholders that the bank is a sustainable bet without spooking clients or irreversibly damaging the bank's core strengths. It will be a struggle alright." http://bit.ly/U6tQSL

Hello Folks!
I have been brewing tea(gong fu cha of many varieties etc.) for more than 15 years but am brand new to TeaChat.
Here is my dilemma: Am I the only one having great difficulty getting a satifactory cup of tea out of these old bush, single bush blah blah blah teas from TeaHabitat? I am not questioning the authenticity of the teas or trying to participate in any debates regarding syntax discrepancies, or criticizing Imen or anyone else in any way. I am just trying to make a decent cup of tea. I am looking for help from the knowledgable TeaChat community as I have already followed all of Imen's excellent advice to no avail and do not wish to bother her with any more e-mail or phone calls.
So here's the rub: I am a Dan Cong fan. I have Dan Congs from several other sources. None of them claim to be of a single or old tree and none of them are very expensive(albeit none are as beautiful in terms of leaf quality as Imen's) but all of them make for wonderful cups of tea. In fact, they are among my favorites in my entire collection. I have been brewing tea long enough to where even the finickiest of teas I am usually able to get the hang of after a few tries. But I have tried everything thing I can think of(changed water, gaiwans, pots, temperature, leaf quantity, brew time) with the 4 different old bush DCs and the 1 commercial Da Wu Ye I got from TeaHabitat with no success. Recently, I was able to try my hand at brewing some Taiwanese Ba Xian that was given to me by a reputable importer that claimed the tea was from cuttings that were transplanted in Taiwan a long time ago(I don't know how long) and that it was from a single bush. They were not offering this tea for sale as they had so little but gave me a few grams as a gift. Brewing the tea at home side by side the Ba Xian from TeaHabitat with the same equipment etc. The fragrance had some similarities yet in everyway the Taiwanese was more concentrated, consitent, and dynamic in aroma, body, and especially in texture, flavour and aftertaste. Most of all, my technique and water quality was sufficient to get comparable(although not quite as elegant) results to the importer who has been brewing for over 50 years.
According to many on these boards, as far as I can tell, Imen has the best DCs money can buy bar none so they must be having much better results than I am. Is there a learning curve or are these higher quality Dan Congs from China that much different from the more available commercial grades? Maybe my expectations are off. I am supposing that they would be more potent and flavorful and aromatic etc(as I experienced with the supposed Taiwanese varietal). Instead they are weaker all around. What am I doing wrong? Well that's the whole story...any help would be greatly appreciated.
Again, I would like to reiterate that I believe Imen is second to none in her dedication and inspiration with what she is doing. It is clear to me that she is put putting her heart into her business. I am not blaming her or her tea. She has done everything right by me. I am just looking to the tea drinking community at large to see if anyone else has had a similar experience and if they finally found how to fix the problem.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (22 votes).
In short: Nice run... Seemed a bit disorganised to startIn full: This was my first Tenby 10k and I enjoyed it. The start seemed a little disorganised but we got underway on time. A nice route to follow with a few hills to manage and with the warm weather it was a bit tricky. Thanks to the locals for the support and the cooling hoses. There was good support in the main square for the last few hundred metres and a nice finish. Will definitely do this again, although missed getting a medal for the collection. See you again next year TenbyDate of review: July 31, 2013

In full: I read that this was "undulating" Those undulating steep and steady slopes were challenging to say the least. Great for the sensible runners who trained properly, 'challenging' for us lazy old fat blokes who could have/should have done more. Can't wait to give it a proper go next year. Excellent day, nice t-shirt, disappointing bag.Date of review: August 1, 2011

Picture looks like it came out well - hope it had a taste you could live with.I made another 2 hr. dough recipe today I received from another pizza making class - It seems EZ'r and had a little better taste (to me anyway) than the recipe I posted on this tread.I'll post it when I get a minute - it's late now
How did the dough rise is you used ADY and cold water?dao
I decided to give this recipe a go last night. I used the "Pizzeria R" spicy drizzle oil on the rim to give the crust the illusion of flavor. I deviated from the written handling instructions. I used a stand mixer to combine the ingredients and then used a "stretch and fold" to create the ball. After an hour's rest I did another stretch and fold and cooked it an hour later.At this point in my pizza making, it seems like dough handling is almost as important as the ingredients

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 136 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Blair19 Long lasting, great support I had a terrible ankle injury volleyball season sophomore year of high school that threatened to end the season for me and my trainer reccomended this brace. I came back early and it absolutely provided the stability I needed and helped me avoid reinjury while still sort of hurt. The brace lasted through three varsity lacrosse seasons and four volleyball seasons including one year of college volleyball, so this thing took an absolute beating. Many other girls on my team had the same one too. I love it and will be replacing it before lacrosse season comes around. Great product that provides protection and support from all angles. October 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ellen Shock Doctor Ultra Wrap My son has had multiple sprain ankles from football, and this brace gives his ankles excellent support. August 3, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Joey43 Velcro is nice, lacing is a pain I paid about $40 for the brace. Once it is on,it feels very supportive, but taking it off required undoing half of the laces to get it over my high instep. The medical field offers one that replaces the laces with stretch fabric. I believe that one would have been a better choice for me, but if you don't have a high instep, the shock doctor might be just what you want. May 5, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bryan Great Performance but wish lasted longer Bought two of these in August for my 14 year old son. They perform great, but have had to replace both due to the wrap around straps both ripping in the same exact manner. Cannot find any warranty information about the product. I would think they should last at least a year of two. April 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kyleb Awesome... I didn't know about these always wore Mcdavid but these are much more confortable... March 1, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by Grizzly Bum ankle This product will secure the ankle I've been through several of these in 10+ years. My doctor put me on this brace while repairing my knee. My only recombination in the brace is that the webbing that goes around the ankle be a heavier web materal. After wearing the brace for a month this breaks. February 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ozone A++ Does not shift around in shoe. Side straps give great support for lateral movement. Comfortable fit. I'm extremely satisfied with this product! February 10, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by dan2674 Very Good Support This ankle brace gives me very good support for my weak ankle. A little difficult getting on and off due to laces, but when in place is very comfortable and gives great support. February 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gman44 This product allows you to get back in the game sooner! It secures the ankle so well we bought one for both ankles. February 2, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Annalaurifitz Very supportive and comfotrable I would recommend this ankle brace for support after a cast. It helps me with stability while my torn ligament vontinues to heal. December 4, 2015

About the Author: Maria Otero serves as Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs. Under Secretary Otero has worked for the last year responding to the Secretary's call to elevate water issues in the U.S. foreign policy agenda and on the global stage.
Many of us have happy childhood memories of our school playgrounds -- if you think back you can picture the scene: groups of friends, carefree games in the sun, perhaps a pause to grab a drink of water. All innocence and fun.
But for me, what should have been an innocent playtime turned into something much more serious. When I was nine, growing up in my native Bolivia, I paused one day from a particularly active game during recess to quench my thirst at the school tap. What I didn't know was that the water was contaminated.
The price I paid for that innocent drink of water was a serious bout of hepatitis and three months of missed school. Unfortunately, this type of story is all too common in the developing world. While I was lucky to have access to good medical care and I recovered, around the world 4,500 children die each day from water related diseases. This is something we must change.
One of the reasons I became inspired to work on water issues is because of the impact small changes can have. Just as a pebble thrown in a pond creates huge ripples, so too can small modifications in infrastructure and behavior have a tremendous impact. Providing school children access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene has a much wider effect -- children remain healthy and stay in school, more of the population is educated, communities thrive and local economies improve. This illustrates just one aspect of why water issues are so critical.
Indeed, water represents one of the great diplomatic and development opportunities and challenges of our time. At the State Department, Secretary Clinton has made water issues a top priority, and has asked USAID Administrator Shah and me to lead our efforts on "five streams of action" to approach international water issues.
First, we are helping to build capacity at the local, national, and regional levels. We encourage local and country-led water and sanitation plans. Second, we are elevating and better coordinating our diplomatic efforts. Currently, more than 24 UN agencies, development banks such as the World Bank, and financial institutions are engaged on water issues. Third, we are helping to mobilize financial support. Small investments have had large impacts on water security. In Ecuador, USAID supported the establishment of a trust fund, which now has grown to $6 million, for the future protection of Quito's watershed. Fourth, science and technology are major pieces of our strategy. For instance, research has created new methods for disinfecting and storing drinking water, waste water treatment, desalinization, predicting floods and droughts, and improving the productivity of water for food and economic growth. Fifth, we are broadening the scope of our partnerships. Just as we are reaching across the U.S. government, we also need to incorporate relationships with NGOs and nonprofits, who are vital implementers and advocates, as well as the private sector, which contributes great technical expertise and capital to face water challenges.
I am proud to be part of Blog Action Day organized by Change.org to highlight the issue of water. In the year ahead, I will be writing monthly pieces to share stories of my work on water issues.
This is just a start though -- we need to build on the ripples created by our blogs so that we can achieve a world in which no wars are fought over water, no children die from water-related diseases, and clean water is no longer a luxury but standard.

The issue of water scarcity is becoming an increasingly more prevalent issue in industrialized countries. Only 2% of the world's water is fresh, in that 2% only .59% is Groundwater,.014% Temporarily stored in lakes, rivers and plants and the rest is temporarily stored in snow fields and glacial ice. Essentially the only water we have available to fuel our societies and rapidly growing population is less than a percent. LESS THAN A PERCENT!
From a human scale the amount of water we see in in a river or a lake is adequate, but from a global its practically negligible. Negligible like the numbers you push aside when doing calculations. Negligible like the uncertainty you put on a laboratory number. Negligible means that is not important enough in the bigger picture. However, for us, all 6.9 billion of us this half of a percent means EVERYTHING. We need to conserve our most precious half percent of the world. If we continue to break the cycle that filters this half of percent of we will seize to exist. If we continue to pollutant the only half of a percent that we have we will seize to exist. The Earth has the ability adapt to live without this negligible less than 1 percent, the Earth has done it before. It's us who we have to worry about, we have to conserve our small amount of precious resources that we have.
O.C. in the U.S.A. writes:
Water is such a unifying theme as water molecules maintain a sort stickiness through its distinct molecular bonds not found in other elements. Using water as a unifying concept and developing a whole national science curriculum around water could help the developing world ensure and install water systems throughout a developing area. Using 13-18 year olds as the water quality police to check, install and maintain systems is an excellent way to ensure and train a future army of water specialists and medical personnel. A water curriculum could include all aspects of water viability from A-Z including parasitic infection, management and water systems. If a community can maintain the cleanliness of its own water source and this is multiplied exponentially throughout a region, soon a country's water source is stabilized. Schools can send their water testing data to a national data bank so that potential outbreaks or diseases can be quickly monitored. When students are given important and responsible work it improves their self esteem and prepares them for a life of national service. Students are the army needed to save a developing country. Use their time, intelligence and positive outlook to make a lasting and positive change to the developing world.

On the bright side, I think it is clear that the "ripple" is already taking place. More and more groups are becoming vocal about the need to ensure access to clean water. The inclusion of clean water access in the Millennium Development goals is a sign that this is a priority. Hopefully, with new technology that can create efficient filtration, and increased awareness on preservation, there will be greater access to clean water each year. The fact that by simply providing clean water we can greatly decrease a plethora of waterborne diseases should be stressed as the long-term benefits. So much aid is dedicated to treating diseases that should have never come about in the first place.

Johari Yasir has no interest in returning to her homeland to marry a man she's never met - at least, not without sowing some wild oats first. And when a handsome charmer offers to whisk her away in his private plane, she impulsively accepts. Rasheed Valdemon is shocked that his bride-to-be would fly off with someone she barely knows - even though he's the one doing the asking. More surprising is his hunger for this lovely, rebellious woman. Yet what will happen when she realizes she's been seduced by the man who's destined to be her husband?

Nice product. Fast sending. Size M for bottom is finally quite large for me but it's ok for dancing.

Hey all. I'm moving to Nashville in the next few days and wanted to know if anyone knew of good fields / pro shops around this area? There's one not far from where I'll be living called Nashville Paintball but I couldn't find much info about it aside from their website. Anyone know if it's any good or if there are better fields nearby?
