iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $0.92 (17% off)
Very good product
Posted by tallyway on Mar 04, 2012
Tastes and handles just like regular lasagne sheets. Very good gluten-free alternative when making delicious lasagne. Just note these sheets are fairly long so a larger pot is needed when boiling them. Only thing to pick on is on iHerb's side. I've ordered these twice now and both times the box has been a bit mangled with broken/some crushed pieces inside. So, to iHerb: Please make sure you wrap and pack these properly in the parcels to avoid breaking!
Poorly delivered

The pasta itself tastes pretty good, maybe four stars worth. But the overall purchase experience left much to be desired. I ordered 4 boxes of Tinkyada lasagne over two shipments, and virtually every single lasagne noodle was damaged (many shattered into little bits) by remarkably unintelligent packaging - putting the pasta directly on the bottom of the carton without padding, with heavy bottles of liquid and supplements on top of it, also with no padding in-between. This would be a 1-star rating except iHerb was good about promptly refunding my credit card. Hopefully the shipping department will soon reach that level of service as well.
Just like regular pasta

I'm so happy to have found these. When we went gluten free due to intolerances, I thought I could never have good pasta again. But this tastes exactly like regular al dente pasta, and I'll definitely buy more. I hope Tinkyada make other types of pasta as well, I'll go take a look right away!

great gluten free lasagne sheets. I didnt precook the lasagne sheets, just put the lasagne together and baked 50mins in 200C. Covered the lasagne with foil after 30mins so the top will not burn,
Truly al dente

Being quite health-conscious and wheat-intolerant, and having tried other gluten-free lasagna before, I am highly satisfied with this brown rice lasagna. My guests love Tinkyada lasagna sheets as much as I do. In fact, they prefer Tinkyada to wheat lasagna. The price is indeed good for the quality. I have one vital suggestion for the manufacturer, if I may, and that is to seal the box well (instead of being loose at both ends) and even to seal the lasagna sheets in a plastic bag first. The reasons are: hygiene, possible contamination with other gluten products, and the fact that I have bought the same Tinkyada before and the packets had many bugs in them and had to be thrown away. Thank goodness, the iHerb Tinkyada lasagna is very fresh, though one box came undone at one end.
Love this

Great pasta!

Tinkyada Lasagne Noodles

Excellent texture, but as other wrote they did arrive broken. Not really big deal to me I just put them together like a puzzle.
Good, but room for improvement.
Posted by 4613142442863848488 on Nov 10, 2012
I like the taste of this lasagne and the fact it is wheat and gluten free, but I would be happier if it came pre-cooked; so you could just layer it into the dish and pop it in the oven to cook. It would save so much time and would be easier to use. That's the only negative I have to say about this product.
Exciting to finally find gluten-free Lasagne
Posted by Reviewer1458843 on Sep 01, 2014
I haven't made this year but I am rating it high just because it exists!

Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Slim-Fit Pinpoint Oxford Shirt - Solid:
The blue color is excellent. Fit and quality of the material is great. I have not had it long enough to attest to the effects of washings but very impress with fit, color and look thus far.
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Slim-Fit Pinpoint Oxford Shirt - Solid:
I'm a 6'8", 200 pound male. Finding shirts that don't fit like a tent is difficult. I ordered one of these to test it and have been very impressed. I have yet to see how durable it is, but the fit is excellent. It has an adequate length and a narrow waist and chest that pleasantly removes the excess fabric on most shirts. I was worried about the armpit, as most slim fit or tall variants for shirts do not give enough room and are constantly "riding up" into the armpit. That is not the case here. Nearly full arm movement is possible. This is a wonderful product and I would highly recommend it for tall thin men. My only complaint is that I'm not crazy about buttoned collars. I have just ordered a half a dozen more of these.
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Slim-Fit Pinpoint Oxford Shirt - Solid:
Slim-fit option ensures an almost customized fit.
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Slim-Fit Pinpoint Oxford Shirt - Solid:
All of Eddie Bauer's Slim Fit dress shirts are superbly tailored and fit extremely well. I own 6 and intend to buy more. Our office recently went to business casual dress and these shirts are my "go-to" shirt. I've received numerous compliments on the fit, style, and look. Thank you!

Recruitment & Admissions Office - Waterloo Campus
Laurier names outstanding teaching award recipients
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 23/12
Recipients of the Wilfrid Laurier University 2012 Awards for Teaching Excellence were recognized for engaging students, building community and fostering interaction in their classrooms.
Full-time faculty award: Penelope Ironstone, associate professor in the Department of Communication Studies
Ironstone was recognized for her innovative teaching methods, her ability to motivate her students, and her superior intellectual command of the interdisciplinary fields of communication, cultural and media studies.
In his nomination letter, Andrew Herman, chair of the Communication Studies program, says Ironstone approaches teaching as a vocation.
(Penelope) practices the craft of teaching as a calling, as a set of ethical practices whose overarching purpose is the empowerment of students through learning how to critically interrogate how media and popular culture shape their everyday lives, Herman writes in his letter. Her goal is to enable students to evaluate their own progress, thereby enhancing their sense of ownership over the learning process.
Ironstone is passionate about her subject and says her teaching approach is one that allows her to both challenge and entertain her students. One technique she uses is mnemonics, which is a learning technique that aids memory. For example, Ironstone may tell jokes to help make a concept more memorable or use gestures to link to a certain idea.
If delivery bores me, it will definitely bore the students, says Ironstone. So I like to bring the lecture more into the present moment.
Ultimately my goal is to make sure that by the end of their program, my students dont need me anymore. They can think critically on their own.
Part-time contract academic staff award: Ronald A. Ross, an instructor in the Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies and in the Interdisciplinary Medieval Studies Program
Ross has been teaching at Laurier since January 2000 and is known for his professionalism, engaging students inside and outside of the classroom, and his ability to create a learning environment in any class size.
The Part Time Appointments Committee for Medieval Studies has been hugely impressed year after year with Rons abilities to construct clear, transparent, and practical lesson plans and course outlines, Robin Waugh, an associate professor in the Department of English and Film Studies, says in his nomination letter. Over the years, his reputation for superb teaching has only grown, as his consistently excellent teaching evaluations demonstrate.
Waugh, who was the coordinator of Medieval Studies in 2011, adds that Ross is keenly interested in students longer term plans, and that he takes measures to engage students to help them reach their goals a point echoed by one of Rosss students in a nomination letter.
Dr. Ross has always shown compassion and concern for students and never failed to make himself available to students to discuss any issues, says a student. From schoolwork to courses and even future careers or grad schools, Dr. Ross is never too busy to assist others.
What it means to me is that what Ive been doing has worked, says Ross. It validates the amount of effort Ive put into my teaching, mentoring of students and community service.
Ironstone and Ross will receive their awards at Lauriers spring convocation in June.

Here are some tidbits of unrelated subjects. The first being snakes. We saw a big gopher snake slowly making its way across the gravel road during the late morning hours. It was still a bit cold, so the snake was moving slowly, which made it really easy to check it out for a good long while.
I mainly wanted to post these pictures because I can't get enough of seeing Axel in the wizard hat, which as an added bonus helps render snakes spellbound and motionless. The little dude is so cute these days. That fine, wispy hair in the sunlight, all aglow. Magical.
*Now for some unrelated information about our water situation up here on the 'Stead. *
Water is a big issue around these parts. We don't have a well, and aren't hooked up to city water. We have two cisterns (just huge underground plastic tanks, really) that can be filled by two means. The first is a capture system on our house, whereby our gutters drain into a big rain barrel hooked up to a hose that drains into one of the cisterns. This system is awesome--when it rains. But by July it isn't raining much, and we are using more water during these growing season months. In addition to bathing (more frequently in the dusty summer months), we have tomatoes, herbs, native plants and raspberry bushes in the yard to take care of.
So: the other way we get water is by filling our big 1960 Chevy Apache water truck, donated to the Homestead by Parks and Rec. We take it down to Parks and Rec HQ across town, fill it up, drive it back and fill the cistern(s) with it. The one by the orchard has to be topped off several times a summer because of all the thirsty sheep and goats, and there isn't a roof nearby as suited to efficient water capture as the one on the caretaker cabin.
I guess I should say Andy does all this. I have never tried to drive that massive beast down our winding road. But I am prepared to someday if push comes to shove. I'll let you know if that happens. I did get to ride in the Apache for the first time recently, when we took an uncharacteristic family spin down the hill in it for the benefit of Sunset magazine photographer Andy Geiger. The kids thought that was about the best thing ever.
Because water comes with a real price in labor for us, we are really aware of our usage. We don't have a flushable toilet; we use a composting toilet. We NEVER open up the tap and let it run, even when bathing. Instead we turn on the water long enough to rinse our bodies, then turn the water off, lather up, and then turn it back on and rinse quickly: "navy showers," as they say. Or rather navy squats: We don't have a stand-up shower, just an old bear claw bathtub that we crouch in. After bathing, we use the left over bathwater to put on front yard plants. The same goes for old dish water.
Recently, Andy had the brilliant idea of parking the Apache uphill in the orchard [not really all that brilliant, sweetie: it's only been staring us in the face for three years!--Andy] and hooking up a hose to it, letting gravity do most of the work. It still takes some time to give everything a good soak, but not nearly as much time or effort as hand pumping requires. Plus it's easier to drink a beer when you're only standing around holding a hose instead of pumping, lugging, pouring into watering cans, sprinkling...pumping, lugging, pouring, sprinkling...
We need to bathe so much more in the summer because we are playing in dirt all day, and, of course, sweating. Fortunately we live in Montana , where there is cold stuff aplenty to jump in. We end up visiting a river, creek, or lake nearly every day to cool down and rinse some of the dirt off. We are lucky in that to be sure. Sometimes we'll settle for a quick trip to the splash deck at Spaceman Park for a bucket of water or two over the head. It's chlorinated, which I like to see as a positive thing, as it does a better job of really washing off the grime. The other kids playing around us look at us a little funny as we furtively scrub and rinse, but oh well. Buncha soft city kids, as Andy likes to say, half-joking.
When I visit other homes that are tapped into city water, I see the unabashed use of water all day long. Letting the tap stay open for minutes at a time while washing dishes, or watering yards everyday for hours at a time, or flushing toilets after peeing in them one time--these are examples of what I'm talking about. At the risk of sounding holier-than-thou, I used to do many of these same things, so I'm not judging. But living on the homestead has changed how I value water.
I don't take water for granted, because I know it WILL run out. It has run out for us, many times. We have run out of water in the dead of winter, when driving the Apache is tricky, to put it lightly. We've had to pump water into buckets from the orchard and haul it up an icy road in a Radio Flyer wagon to get us by for a few days until the ice melted, and the road was driveable again.
It isn't possible to go without water for more than a day or two. So the reality of it running out is something we are mindful of every time we turn on the sink. I have had to embrace a dirtier, less-showered existence. My house doesn't sparkle, and my fingernails usually have dirt underneath them. It's not easy for me, because I feel more socially accepted as a clean-fingernailed, sparkling-home kinda mom. But then I remember the price of water in labor and hassle, and it supersedes my need for social acceptance.
I want my kids to value water as well. I want them to value anything and everything that they use and consume. I want them to experience having (almost) too little of things so that they know the importance of them. How else do we expect them to feel grateful for what they have, and want to protect it? Excess of anything, except maybe love, does not equal happiness. I've thought about this before, when I have had excess. Now that I don't, I actually realize it. I don't have excess water, money, or even food sometimes. But I usually have as much of most things as I need at the moment, and I am happy for that.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (July 19, 2010) The University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus community is in mourning for C. Dennis Ignasias, a long-time administrator who died this past weekend. He was 70.
Ignasias was UMES' associate vice president of academic affairs, one of several leadership posts he held during 37 years at the historically black land-grant school. He served under five university presidents, including Thelma B. Thompson.
"I will miss Dr. Ignasias," Dr. Thompson said. "He was very helpful and supportive of me for eight long years. He never let me down. He's done everything from serving as (campus) historian to serving people (at social functions) … when we were short of help. He was a good man."
Ignasias began his higher education career teaching history and political science at colleges in Ohio and Wisconsin. He earned two doctorates; one in history from Michigan State University and the second in educational administration from the University of Wisconsin.
He arrived at UMES in 1973 to be director of research and grants and its 1890 Agricultural Research Program. In 1983, he moved on to oversight of international studies and then graduate studies, where he eventually served as dean.
Dr. Ronnie Holden, vice president for administrative affairs, and Ignasias were colleagues for more than three decades. "He worked tirelessly in his efforts to assist UMES in achieving the academic programs and quality that currently exists. He truly loved the University, its students, faculty, staff and all of his colleagues."
"The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is a better place because of the presence and work done by Dr. Ignasias. We are better people for having had an opportunity to have known him," Dr. Holden said.
Other colleagues characterized him as quiet, hard-working and immensely proud of his five children.
"He had no pretense about him. He was the type of person you liked to call your friend," said Ernest R. Satchell, who retired this spring after 39 years teaching art at his alma mater. "Everything he did was measured, but always for the good of the university. He was almost like an alumnus."
"Dependability and trustworthiness," Dr. Carolyn B. Brooks said, "were two of his strongest traits, making him a joy to have as an administrative peer."
Dr. Brooks, Executive Director of the Association of Research Directors of 1890 Land Grant Universities, said Ignasias "reserved his sense of humor for private times and what a warm and bubbly talker he could be……especially as he talked about himself as a father and some of the situations he found himself in as an administrator."
Dr. Karen A. Verbeke, chair of UMES' Education Department called him "a kind, gentle spirit. And he had a wonderful sense of humor. He was always generous with his time and energy. He had many dimensions."
Over the past four years he served as associate vice president for academic affairs, Dr. Verbeke said Ignasias deserves credit for bolstering graduate studies, with the number of programs and enrollment doubling, and a corresponding increase in financial support.

Schmidt retires from MLC
NEW ULM – Martin Luther College assistant baseball coach John Schmidt has retired from his coaching position after 30 seasons coaching at Northwestern College (Wis.) and MLC.
Schmidt served one season (1982) as assistant football coach at NWC, and then started his 29-year run coaching baseball in 1985 when he was named assistant to then-coach Lloyd Thompson.
Schmidt took over the head coaching position at NWC in 1986, where he served for 10 seasons. When NWC and the former Dr. Martin Luther College amalgamated on New Ulm's campus, Schmidt came to the newly formed institution, Martin Luther College, and served as assistant coach for 18 seasons under three coaches: Drew Buck (1996-2007), Steve Thiesfeldt (2008-09) and Randy Cox (2010-13).
"During the past 30 years, I enjoyed working with talented head coaches and fellow assistant coaches, and getting to know the many coaches against whom we competed," Schmidt said. "I had the unique privilege of coaching the sons of former players. I enjoyed getting to know students outside the classroom and meeting their parents at games. Above all, I have enjoyed watching our players mature both on and off the field, and seeing many of them now serving as pastors, teachers, and staff minsters."
Schmidt was named Lake Michigan Conference Coach of the Year in 1987 at NWC. Other highlights for him include MLC's advancement to the UMAC tournament last season and several wins against conference power St. Scholastica.
Cox was thankful for Schmidt's help over the last four seasons.
"John gave me a lot of insight on the conference opponents when I took the position at MLC," Cox said. "He always demonstrated positive attributes towards the young men in the baseball program at MLC."
After 30 seasons, Schmidt is grateful.
"I will always treasure having served our Lord and his people in this unique way," Schmidt said. "I am thankful to Him for having given me the stamina and health to coach for 30 years. I am also thankful to my wife, Linda, and the members of my family for sharing me with athletics for the past 30 years."

Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Sarkis Assadourian Don Valley North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have two short questions for the hon. member.
First, the hon. member said that the government took office in 1993 with a $42 billion deficit which it has brought down to$17 billion. She said that was not an achievement. Compared to what?
If we consider the record of the previous government, which was in power for nine years, I am sure the majority of Canadians would agree with me that this was a fantastic achievement. It may not be enough but it was a fantastic achievement to bring the deficit down by about 50 per cent. I ask her to comment on that.
Second, she did not mention that an average Canadian who has a $100,000 mortgage or a bank loan is saving about $6,000 net net on
yearly payments. If we multiply that by a five-year term mortgage it will mean a net net saving of $30,000.
I ask the member to show me a government in the world that provides that kind of opportunity to taxpayers within a 3.5-year period. That point should also be made.
I hope the hon. member replies to those two points.
The Budget
Government Orders

Daphne Jennings Mission—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his questions.
There is a lot of deceit-and I hate to use that word-in the way the government has manipulated its figures. It is true that it has cut the deficit in half, but that has been done through increased taxes. As I pointed out in my speech, we have had 35 to 36 tax increases. Those increases cannot be denied.
What are the results of those tax increases? We have an unhealthy economy in the marketplace. We have fewer jobs and we have higher unemployment. We cannot get away from those facts.

It is almost two o'clock. We will now proceed to Statements by Members.
Wireless Technology
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Andrew Telegdi Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, a joint venture agreement between the city of Waterloo and Nexsys Commtech International Inc. has resulted in a device to make our homes the safest in Canada.
It uses a two-way wireless link to a central network which will monitor smoke detectors. This system also reads utility meters. It receives radio signals from the smoke alarms which it relays to the local fire department. It reports a dead battery in a smoke detector and displays water, electricity and natural gas consumption.
Partnership between local government and local industry has produced a highly marketable product using existing wireless technology manufactured by Research in Motion. It will benefit my constituents by saving them money, protecting their lives and strengthening the local economy.
Military Spending
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Yves Rocheleau Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, at the invitation of the Comité de solidarité tiers-monde de Trois-Rivières, some 9,000 people made clear to the Prime Minister of Canada their desire to have the federal government cut its military spending and use the money to keep social programs and fight poverty.
The campaign was supported by many well known individuals from the Mauricie, including the bishop of Trois-Rivières, Mgr. Martin Veillette, and by some 30 boards of directors of popular groups in the Mauricie.
So, while Quebec and Canada have been hit broadside by increased poverty and the number of people who have been left out of the labour market, including young people, is rising alarmingly, these people and organizations have decided to take the Prime Minister to task and have asked me to pass on to him directly these 9,000 signatures and 30 resolutions-which I did last week.
Your move, Mr. Prime Minister.
Motion No. 267
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Daphne Jennings Mission—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind the House that my Motion No. 267 will be debated on Friday for its second hour.
I put forward the motion to bring accountability to the House for Private Members' Business which is referred to standing committees.
The need for this legislation became obvious to me from my personal experience with my grandparent-grandchildren bill, Bill C-232, which asked that grandparents be given standing in the courts at the time of divorce.
Although unanimously passed by the House at second reading, the grandparents bill was buried in committee, like many others sent to committee by the House, with no apparent reasons given.
It is this lack of accountability to the House, the arrogance of simply dropping an issue raised by the House that Motion No. 267 seeks to rectify by simply requiring committees to report their conclusions to the House.
I want to acknowledge the recognition given to my motion in a subcommittee report to the procedure and House affairs committee this week which recommends just such accountability be established. I hope we will be practising these new changes soon.
Canada's Drug Strategy
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Audrey McLaughlin Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, federal funding for Canada's drug strategy will end this month. The program provided thousands of Canadians with the education and prevention tools they needed to battle problems with drug and
alcohol abuse. Across the country youth groups, counselling services and programs for aboriginal people are being closed down.
In Yukon the youth empowerment and success drop-in centre will lose its core funding as a result of this decision by the Liberal government. Youth workers in Carmacks, Yukon and other locations from coast to coast are threatened with losing their jobs. The young people who benefit from these programs will have nowhere to turn.
Ending successful programs for young people is yet one more example of this Liberal government's deficit cutting with no vision.
Successful programs which help Canadians be more self-sufficient and productive should be maintained and not ended. I urge the government to reconsider its decision and make the lives of young people a priority.
Edmonton East
Statements By Members

Judy Bethel Edmonton East, AB
Mr. Speaker, the women of Edmonton East have made a tremendous contribution to good government.
It is their efforts in gathering the collective wisdom of all who live and work in Edmonton East that help our ministers shape effective policies and programs for the benefit of all Canadians. It is their collective wisdom we see reflected in the legislation of this House.
Kate Quinn, a leader with Communities for Changing Prostitution, was instrumental in organizing a forum that helped us understand the impacts of street prostitution on neighbourhoods and on young victims. The recommendations generated at this forum provided clear directions for changes our government made to the Criminal Code.
Sue Olsen is a leader in our inner city communities and an Edmonton police officer. Her collective efforts resulted in amending legislation to provide police officers with the necessary tools to permanently shut down Edmonton's fortified drug houses.
Liz O'Neill in her testimony to the finance committee in Edmonton showed clearly why charging GST on food would harm children who live in poverty. Her wisdom, too, is reflected in our legislation.
These are but a few Edmonton women. They provide good government. They are political women and they help us.
Dr. Keith McIntyre

Beth Phinney Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Keith McIntyre, president of Mohawk College, who will be retiring soon after 21 years of distinguished service to the college.
Dr. McIntyre has been president of Mohawk College since 1980. Mohawk College is one of the larger colleges in Ontario with 12,000 full time students and 60,000 part time students in post-secondary, retraining and apprenticeship programs. The college operates five major campuses with an annual budget of $100 million and a full time staff of 800. Dr. McIntyre launched Canada's first co-operative education college program in 1964.
He is active in many community and extracurricular affairs. He is a founding member of the World Association for Co-operative Education and served as president from 1989 to 1992. He is currently chair of the board of trustees of the Ontario Environmental Training Consortium.
I congratulate Dr. McIntyre on his successful career and wish him the best in his retirement.
Co-Operative Housing
Statements By Members

Colleen Beaumier Brampton, ON
Mr. Speaker, co-operative housing empowers Canadians to build active, participatory communities. The federal government has traditionally played a central role in promoting co-op housing and its very integral function in Canadian society.
The recent decision by the Ontario government to off-load responsibilities over co-op housing to municipalities further threatens its viability. I commend the minister responsible for CMHC for looking into the implications of this move by the Harris government. I urge her to take this opportunity to reconsider the transfer of federal responsibilities over co-op housing to provincial governments.
The Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada has put forth a proposal to create a non-profit entity which would assume the administration of the federally funded co-op housing portfolio.
We should seriously consider this proposal. We have the responsibility to ensure that co-op housing remains the viable empowering vehicle it is today.
Let us use this opportunity to make sure that there is a secure co-op housing sector for future generations.
Prix Du Mérite Français

Maud Debien Laval East, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Quebec minister of culture and communications, Louise Beaudoin, yesterday awarded the prix du Mérite français to three persons at the forefront of the defence of the French language in Quebec: Marc Favreau, Pierre Nadeau and Serge Turgeon.
Marc Favreau is always a delight with Sol, the character that plays with the French language taking a syllable here and a word there and turning the meaning of life on its ear.
Pierre Nadeau was awarded the prix du Mérite français for the quality of language in his reports and was cited as an example to be followed in the field of communications.
Serge Turgeon, the outgoing president of the Union des artistes, deserved this recognition for his support of all the struggles to strengthen and promote French in Quebec.
The Bloc Quebecois congratulates the recipients of the prix du Mérite français and hopes that all francophones in Quebec and Canada will take a few minutes to recognize the value of their language and culture during this, La semaine du français.

Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, I wish every Liberal MP had been in Saskatoon last Thursday night to listen to a speech by Mrs. Marie King-Forest, the wife of RCMP Constable Brian King who was executed in 1978 by two cold blooded murderers.
Here is a sample of Liberal justice. Marie said: "Victims' impact statements are difficult to write and read but worse yet, these impact statements were edited and some were not even allowed because the content would inflame the jury".
Here is part of Ashley King's impact statement which was ruled too inflammatory: "People do not know the feelings I experienced every time I had to cross one of the bridges in Saskatoon and see the South Saskatchewan River, a river stained by my father's blood. To this day I cannot stand to see that river".
Marie King-Forest responded: "How dare the system let the jury hear only what someone deems relevant while Darryl Crook got on the stand and spoke freely".
On behalf of Marie and her family I ask all Liberals where is the justice in section 745?
Crystal Springs United Church Women
Statements By Members
March 18th, 1997 / 2:05 p.m.
Georgette Sheridan Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Crystal Springs United Church Women on their support for the ban of the manufacture, use, exportation or stockpiling of land mines.
In January I received a letter from Daisy Reid, secretary-treasurer of the UCW, in which she urged the government to take a leadership role on this issue, especially in the eradication of anti-personnel mines which are truly nefarious devices that are designed, as Daisy explains in her letter, to injure and maim but not to kill.
Mrs. Reid writes on behalf of the UCW that they wish to join the international campaign to ban land mines: "We feel that Canada should give leadership to the world in this terrible way of using our fellow man".
I am pleased to inform the UCW that our foreign affairs minister has recently been nominated for a Nobel peace prize in recognition of his efforts to rid the world of land mines. Also worthy of recognition are the thousands of individual Canadians like Daisy Reid, Bernice Bird, Evelyn Reid, Maxine MacLeod and Fern Horley of the Crystal Springs UCW who take the time to support these important efforts and to prove that one person can make a difference.
Air Transport
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Maurice Dumas Argenteuil—Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois severely criticizes the federal government for its inconsistent decisions and its mistakes, as former minister André Ouellet called them, in the matter of the Montreal airports.
As Senator Pietro Rizzuto himself admitted Saturday, for two years now, the federal government has failed to assume its responsibilities in looking for a viable solution to ensure the future of air transport in Quebec, hence the current confusion and the mess we are in.
The Bloc Quebecois condemns the Liberals for trying, once again, to take the people of the Lower Laurentians hostage on this issue by making all sorts of promises on the eve of an election for purely partisan purposes.
The Bloc Quebecois therefore demands that the Standing Committee on Transport hold the public consultations promised on this issue as soon as possible.
In addition, we demand that the committee quickly make recommendations to the Minister of Transport after reviewing the whole matter.

Bill Gilmour Comox—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, Patrick Kelly, a former RCMP officer, was convicted of murder when his wife fell to her death from their 17th floor balcony. The key witness who convicted Kelly has subsequently admitted that she lied in her testimony.
Finally, after years of mismanagement and stalling by the Minister of Justice, Mr. Kelly's case is coming before the courts for review later this year.
Mr. Kelly has a five day hearing commencing October 7 and a question and answer hearing on December 2. Yet it appears that Mr. Kelly's fight for justice will be blocked once again by the Minister of Justice because the Attorney General of Ontario cannot access records held by the minister.
In the name of justice, the minister must allow the Attorney General of Ontario to access the records of Patrick Kelly held by the minister's department.
All Canadians deserve and must receive fair and just treatment by our justice system.

Boomer, you are such a terrific person!
Thanks boomer!
Thanks again Boomer. i don't think there is any athelete in the country that goes to the level Matt does to make his fans feel like part of the experience. you definitely the "Elmer's" that keeps us stuck to Matt.
So far so good Boomtown!!! I'll wait to see what you make up about me before I add my two cents! LOL
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
-Mark Twain
I made it back to San Diego.
I had a blast last night at the fights and the after party. It was good seeing some forum members again and some legends of the sport
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
-Mark Twain
Um, I don't see how he could make up those pictures he sent me of you....um.....well, you remember..... Dude, I thought Vegas was risque but this totally topped that!
My son made this for me:
HAHAHAHA ditto for me too!!!!!
The guys trickle in the rest of the day, Robbie Lawler, Matt Pena, Jeremy Horn. The plan was to go out to eat somewhere and then go to a movie. We always hit up three or four of the latest movies during fight week. Honestly that is about the only time I watch movies any more. That night we saw Cowboys and Aliens. It was a good movie. Not top 20 or anything like that, but it was decent. Best quote after that movie is when matt said, "When the woman came to life out of the fire it turned more into a sci fi movie." Blink Blink ....Because Aliens raiding earth for its gold wasn't sci fi at all. Our restaurant of choice this trip before the movies was Chiptole. Robbie has an appetite that would rival a Sasquatch, and he would order TWO if those big burritos.
Each trip I get to know the corners more and more. This trip what really sunk in was how very intelligent and gifted Jeremy Horn is in picking out good and bad movies. We saw one of the WORST movies called "Drive" and Jeremy and I were on the same page. It's like a bad 1980's sound track with a psyco-drama horror feel that leads you down a path of side stories that never go anywhere. It's like Transporter meets Friday the 13th meets the Godfather, meets Pretty in Pink. It created new levels of awful ...
Wednesday we had a radio tour in the UFC media room, which is the UFC PR folks connecting matt with a bunch of Radio stations that have requested interviews. It's funny because matt would get the same questions over and over again and he would answer every radio station as if it was the first time he got the question. Lots of the stations were asking about his retirement and his new friendship with BJ Penn. After the radio tour we had about an hour before we headed down to the Pepsi Center for the post fight interview. Robbie, Matt Pena and myself rolled with matt to the press conference. While we were in the waiting room, one of the UFC PR folks came down with two boxes of the new UFC DVD release Ultimate Matt Hughes. If you haven't heard it is a collection of matt's fights with interviews from his family, friends and past opponents. GET ONE. IT'S AWESOME!! The PR guy asked matt if he would sign them while we waited. It was about 100 of them. matt said sure and took one out and they were all still wrapped. matt asked, "are they all wrapped?" The UFC PR guy's face shrunk and said, "Oh man I didn't even think about that." matt quickly interjects, "It's no problem, we got nothing to do while we wait. We'll unwrap them all." matt had brought two of those knives he had made one for Dana White and one for Lorenzo Feritta so we got them out and put them to work taking the plastic off the DVDs so matt could sign. matt got the Sharpie and discovered that the DVD covers had some sort of waxing coating and the Sharpie wouldn't write on them. He showed the UFC PR guy and again his face sunk. matt then told him bout paint pens and said we would take care of it. The next day I went out and got some paint pens and he signed them all.
Friday is weigh in day and matt was doing really well all week with his weight. matt, Robbie, Pena, Hogie, Zucca and myself all went to the sauna with matt as he shed the last few pounds. They all got in the sauna , but Burt had already tagged me for the weigh ins that morning when we brought the banner and shorts down for UFC approval. I didn't want to mess that up and I'm just fat ..... it would be like a fat fiesta sitting next to a Ferrari .. naked, and sweating ... I'm a better gear guard.
We move to the Wells Fargo theater for weigh ins and I finally get to meet up with Llama (Mark), Red (SteveT) and his awesome wife Lynsey. Great to see them as always. matt has some of the best fans and I have made some great friends with many of them. matt makes weight and we all head over to the after weigh ins dinner at Maggianos. It was some good food and a lot of fun. matt had a host of his old crew there like Monte Cox, Rachel Leah, Rashad Evens stopped by , Jens Pulver and just a host of people he grew in the sport with. I sat with Llama and Joe for Texas Trophy hunters and his family and had a great time.
Later that night, we had a forum Karaoke party that was ... well Epic. I am running long on this so why don't everyone that was there add their own narration of that night. ;-) I think some vids are out there too. I will say that I'm disappointed Red didn't sing something or line dance with me. Llama tore up the mic, we both were molested by the same sweet old lady ... and Huan is a pretty cool kat. ;-) Christie of course was a joy to see and Sliverback as always was the life of the party. He knows how to throw down. :-) AND we should be getting a few new forum members from that event!!
Fight day I go over in the morning to make sure that there are no last min things matt needs me to do. I know he likes to be around Audra that time, so I don't hang around to long. Just enough to see if there is anymore I can do. After that I go get LLama and take him to my brothers house so I can get ready for the fight and pick my brother up. It was his first UFC fight and he loved it.
After the fight the after party at Bubba Gump was really good. Lots of people showed up to include Chuck Liddell, Pat MIletich, Jens Pulver, Monte Cox, Mark Hughes, and many of our good forum folks. I got an early flight to catch so I gotta sign off. Had a great time with great friends and so glad I got to see some of you there.
You guys add your picture and stories too!!
Til next time my forum friends ...

Menswear Wednesday
Here's my take on menswear. I'm wearing an over-sized boyfriend blazer with a military-style shirt. The tailored, ankle-length cigarette trouser is the more fitted polished part of the outfit. Then I made it womanly with the scarf, and funky with the shoes.
Sneaky cat got into some of the pics. I had no idea he was there until I was reviewing the photos. I think the cat adds color and definitely adds some cute to these outfit shots. Thanks kitty!

Wow! It's a battle between The Scarf That Ate Detroit and The Shoes From Another Planet. Such dramatic pieces.
Kidding aside, it's really cute. I love bold items like this.

I really like this. It's kind of understated but you add just the right touches with the shoes and FABULOUS scarf. And the kitty doesn't hurt, either.

Aww your kitty looks like my Marley who is always sneaking into my shots! You look incredible- the scarf is amazing and those shoes are so versatile- they could work with almost everything!

Yup, we had a John Smallberries but lost him to a new, very virulent calici virus a couple of years ago. He was a huge, pure black male (neutered, hence the Smallberries name). Perfect Tommy hasn't shown up yet, but he will. I love that line where Buckaroo tells Perfect Tommy to give Penny Pretty his jacket and Perfect Tommy says, "Why me?" Buckaroo replies "Because you're perfect."
Every time I get a copy of Buckaroo Banzai it disappears. One of life's great sorrows for me has been that they never released a second Buckaroo Banzai.Sigh.
I was certain that the newest Indiana Jones movie wouldn't live up to the others but it was all which is wonderful about the other movies.
(crush tear curl) Irish Breakfast Blend with a touch of vanilla added, some minced candied ginger, and a bit of a cinnamon stick and a splash of Carnation Italian Cream instant creamer, which is very good and has enough sugar in it to sweeten but not over sweeten the tea. It's very understated spice/chai sort of tea with a nice vanilla aftertaste. It also has the great advantage to being a tea the cats won't help me drink.
Since I cannot sleep, I am considering a splash of golden rum added to the spice and tea mixture. Just for medicinal purposes, you understand.

Ackerman leads hot shooting Mustangs over Big Bay
COOKS – At least Munising boys basketball coach Dan Waterman should have an idea of what his Mustang players were doing during the holiday break – shooting baskets in the gym.
Despite not playing a game for the better part of a month, Munising shot the lights out in a 55-28 victory at Big Bay de Noc on Thursday night.
Led by five from junior Noah Ackerman, the Mustangs sank 10 out of 20 3-pointers. They also made 8 of 14 on 2-pointers and even 9 of 12 free throws.
"I was really, really, really happy, considering we had two games before the break postponed, so it had been over three weeks since we played," Waterman said. "We got out to a hot start. I know Noah hit three of his 3s in the first quarter."
Munising (2-1 overall, 1-0 Central Upper Peninsula Conference) led 12-4 after one quarter, extending it to 26-13 by halftime.
Ackerman led all scorers with 15 points, all coming on his 3s, while sophomore Colin Immel added 12, including a trio of triples.
The Mustangs also dominated the boards, 31-18, as 6-foot-5 sophomore Ben Stasewich nabbed 12 and 6-foot senior Gage Webster had 10.
For Big Bay (1-3, 1-2) Cole Potvin scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds.
The Black Bears won the JV game, but no score was available.
Gwinn 50, Norway 33
Outscoring Norway 12-2 in the third quarter, Gwinn posted a 50-33 Mid-Peninsula Conference victory over the visiting Knights Thursday night.
"We mixed up our defense and went more to a half-court zone," GHS head coach Darren Sinnaeve said after his team had improved to 4-2 overall and 2-2 in the M-PC. "That really threw them out of sync."
Derek Reetz, Justin Nyquist and Owen DeVooght scored 10 points apiece for the Modeltowners. Reetz added a game-high seven rebounds.
Austin Grayvold paced Norway (4-2, 2-2) with 17 points and six boards.
Norway won the JV game, 67-43.

Changes Afoot in the Data Center?
Cisco sits on the throne in the data center network, at least according to the latest InformationWeek survey of more than 500 business technology professionals. Although Cisco's position seems unshakable, several industry and technology trends threaten to disrupt the market, from the proliferation of virtualized application workloads and a consequent change in traditional data center traffic patterns, to the commodification of 10-gigabit Ethernet (GbE) via merchant silicon switch chips.
And there's more cause for optimism among competitors, because our survey finds IT pros strongly value reliability and performance over cutting-edge features and visionary product roadmaps, factors that seem to level the playing field for many vendors. Also, although most respondents are happy with their existing network products, half are nevertheless considering replacing or supplementing their primary or secondary suppliers of choice. Furthermore, more than 71% are either in some stage of network rearchitecture or expect to be within the next two years—both strong signs that network equipment buyers are evaluating their options.
In this report, we'll review these network industry and technology trends in light of our survey of real-world data center network equipment users. (R3900112)
Survey Name: InformationWeek 2012 Data Center Networking Vendor Evaluation Survey
Survey Date: November 2011
Region: North America
Number of Respondents: 510
Purpose: To determine preference for vendors supplying data center networking equipment to enterprise IT organizations

Share Your Orders Thread
I just ordered Matcha from Ito En, I cant wait until it gets here
Another order from Della Terra. (I like their teas so much.)
Just ordered some samples from Georgia Tea Co. So much for the tea buying ban, who can resist $15 off $30?
Almond Cookies
Cherry Green
Raspberry Mint
Rocky Horror Spice
Gyokuro Imperial
Rooibos Ginger Peach
So I caved and ordered some tea from Georgia Tea Co. That $15 off $30 was too much to resist. Lol. To be fair I didn't buy any tea last month (technically) and I'm actually just using the money I would be spending at an Anime convention I decided not to go to, on tea instead. Lol. I'll take any justification I can manage.
Pineapple Black – 2oz
Toffee Black – sample
Midsummer Night's Dream – sample
Vanilla Black – 2oz
Shaolin Treasures – sample
Weight Loss Tea – sample
Golden Monkey – sample
Rooibos Bourbon Street Vanilla – sample
Rooibos Mirage – sample
From Verdant:
Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha 2 oz
Laoshan Black 2 oz
Chai Spice 2 oz
From Teavivre:
Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea (Flavored)
Variety : 100g (3.5oz)
Taiwan Monkey Picked (Ma Liu Mie) Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea
Variety : 100g (3.5oz
Lapsang Souchong Smoky Black Tea (Yan Xun Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong) – 7g
I haven't ordered tea in a few months because I have way too much (not counting tea I ordered for my mother-in-law as a gift or my accidental continuation of the Verdant Tea of the Month Club after the free trial). But I knew I had to get the spring teas from Verdant so I ordered one ounce each of:
Mrs. Li's Shi Feng Dragonwell Green
Spring Harvest Laoshan Green
Sun Dried Jingshan Green
Hand Picked Early Spring Tieguanyin (says pre-order but should be in)
Bai Mu Dan White Tea (pre-order arrives May 20th)
Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha (haven't tried yet)
and Eight Treasures Yabao (one of my favorites)
Because you know fresh superb quality tea and Mother's Day treat. Now back on hiatus!
Thanks for the order, Autumn (and Happy Mother's Day)! We've really been enjoying sharing the Spring harvests so far. Master Zhang's tieguanyin arrived yesterday after an extra day in customs, and will start shipping out today. Can't wait for the Bai Mu Dan to arrive, too- I know I'm going to be drinking it all summer.
I just ordered some more Laoshan Black, Golden Fleece, and Yuunan Jasmine from Verdant Tea. I also filled up my basket with samples. I like to try things and I wanted free shipping! That's how they get us, right? That promise of free shipping… then we spend more than we would on shipping!
I think it's fair to say (and my boyfriend and roommate would loudly agree) that this is Enough Tea (for a little while). I need to get rid of what I have before I spend any more money on this fun little hobby! Now to drink up my samples from my last Verdant order to make room in my tea drawer at work… tough job, but someone has to do it.
Thanks so much for your order! :) The fresh Yunnan Jasmine arrives next week, and we'll see what we can do to surprise you with your free sample. Hope you have fun drinking through your samples from your last order!
Sloane Tea's pop up shop had a 50% off sale here in Toronto. Picked up 2 tins of their Peaches and Cream; 1 Tin of divine cream; 1 tin of oolong creme; a tin of almond truffle a tin of crimson berry and a tin of queen of the hill. I probably could have picked up more given that the sale of that proportion is unheard of but i had to draw the line somewhere. eeeeesh!
I ordered 2 each of these SBT from 52teas on the Mothers Day sale:
Cotton Candy
Monkey Fart
My boyfriend will drink tea if I make it iced and put sugar in it, so I mostly ordered these to revel in the joy that he will be drinking tea.
Sil inspired me..I went to my local Chapters (bookstore) and picked up a 4 pack of Sloane teas. 30 g each of:
Earl Grey Classic
Heavenly Cream
Peaches & Cream
Rouge Provence
And ZOMG the tins are sooo sweet and the tea is loose! They provide bags for it, but pfft bags haha.
They were not on sale :( but I have been eyeing them for ages, and finally broke down! Also slightly tea related, tried to buy the book 'The Tea Rose' from seeing someone had read it on the book thread, can't remember who sorry, but it was sold out. Ah well, next time!
Haha well so far I LOVEE Heavenly Cream, so I will only potentially be slightly upset with you for making me get them because I will likely want to place an order in the future, and the shipping is not the best haha :P I am so excited to try the rest! :D
i think you might like peaches and cream too…so i figure i'm good for 2/4 lol I'd keep an eye at chapters anyway in case they eventually make it to the discount pile. Also sloane does do sales every now and then…
I'll have to watch like a hawk lol, yeah I'm pretty sure I will love Peaches & Cream, it is probably the next one up to try, I think another place in my city has a different sample pack too that I might have to get, it's more green teas I think
your best bet is to try and find them at other stores on sale. Just FB them and watch for their occasional sales. Worse case, in november there will be another pop up shop here in toronto and they always do at least a small sale at those…so i can pick stuff up and ship them out. What i really haven't had a chance to do is see if you can buy bulk packages from them online – i know the pop up shop had 2oz bags. Since once i have a tin, it's not like i need more.
Yeah I'll keep an eye out around here for them and I'll definitely find them on fb. Not that I need anymore tea..I still have soo many companies I need to try at some point, and I need to drink tea so I have room for it, space is diminishing quickly :(

There is a new Norwegian paintball forum up, where you can discuss what you like, make versus threads, and generally do what you like. I wont mention other sites, but lets just say that the major Norwegian paintball forum basically wont let you do much of anything. Nearly any paintball discussion gets deleted because of their strict rules, and new players have a hard time getting any info due to it.
This new forum in no way competes with TechPB. TechPB is a massive resource, with some of the best knowledge out there. However, it is in English. If you need a place that you can get good information from people, but in Norwegian, then our new forum is the place. Please keep in mind that it is a new forum, so our memberlist is fairly small right now, but I think many will agree that the small amount of members we currently have are quality members.
I wish you a warm welcome, and hope that we can grow into the Norwegian equivalent of TechPB.
We can be found here: http://www.paintball...met.com/forums/
New Norwegian paintball forum!

Dinosaur + Truck, brilliant! I have no idea how this wasn't thought up sooner. My 3.5 year old daughter loves trucks, and dinosaurs, and I knew that when I had the opportunity to review this, that she was going to go nuts over it. As far as toys go, it's on the larger end of the spectrum, one of he bigger toys she owns actually, and for her that goes firmly in the "pro" column, but it's good to note that it's not a small toy. That means that when she's going to demand that we bring it in our luggage to go on vacation, it's just not going to happen.That said, the build quality is very high, super sturdy, and I don't foresee even my tornado of a child being able to cause any harm to it. She's already fed it countless little lego people (by shoving them into it's mouth), and loves putting her other figures in the driving seat. (And then right back into the mouth)The mouth opens/closes, the tail is fully articulated with multiple joints allowing it to swing and bend. Everything about the toy is well thought out and built to last.Fantastic toy and will probably add the other variants to our collection.

First impressions: It is very stiff and entirely made of plastic (very stiff durable plastic). The packaging was great, very eye catching. After a couple weeks with it, I'm not very impressed with it (especially for the price of almost $40). While attempting to maneuver it, my 2 year old has to stop the dino to move the head and/or teeth up and down. It would've been nice it he could push it with one hand and have another sort of handle around the neck area to move the head with his other hand (possibly something to squeeze to open/close the mouth). The "wheels" are still very stiff, I thought they would loosen after a while but nope, my toddler makes it hop like a rabbit because it's so hard to roll. The mouth itself is great, big enough to "chomp" little toys, but you have to use two hands to open/close it. My two year old plays with many different types of toys, big and small, from trucks to trains to blocks so he is very experienced with toys recommended for an older age.I'm giving it 3 stars (instead of anything lower) because he loves it so much. He thinks it's one of the trucks from "Dinotrux" and pretend plays with it as such. I really wish I could have rated it higher, but he just can't play with it like a kid should play with a toy.

Comments about Educational Insights Dino Construction Company™ Wrecker the T-Rex Skid Loader:
I have three nephews ages 3 1/2 to 5. I got each one a different dinosaur truck for Christmas and they just loved them. They all got them at the same time and went right to work running them around together. They're nice and big and sturdy. I would definitely recommend these toys.

Wonderful toy, great for a wide range of ages!
By Michele the Mom and Nannh

About Me Parent
What I love most about this product is that it is entertaining for a variety of ages. I had children aged 18 months-6 years old who all loved playing with this toy! Each child used their imagination to play with this toy, and they were also all able to play with it together!

Good quality product that allows kids to use their in
By Cpsopha
from Minneapolis, MN
The wrecker is a good quality product that can be used in many ways. It is very sturdy and durable and doesn't allow for pinched fingers, so even the little ones can play with it. Kids can use their imaginations and use it as whatever they choose. Even my 4 year old daughter who loves princesses and girly things was fighting over it. We have been using it indoors, but are also looking forward to using it outdoors in the sand in the spring. The imprints look very fun to make tracks with.
Fun digger!
By mother of two
from Torrance, CA
What a fun toy for a boy who loves construction toys! this is durable and easy to use. My son enjoyed playing with this and pretending in the dirt. The mouth is easy to open and close and will actually hold dirt. The only downfall is that it doesn't roll very well in the dirt but as a stationary "digger" it is definitely fun!

Attractive looking toy...
By julyindahouse
from Torrance CA
I was so happy to receive this in the mail and got really excited to give it to my 18months old son. Surprisingly it wasn't his favorite toy. I wonder if he will fall in love with it later on so we'll see! To me it's a very attractive looking toy and would think many kids would love this. I'm thinking it's a bit too heavy for his age so maybe he'll like this once he gets older.
My kids love this toy
By Mon

About Me Education Oriented, Parent
This construction truck with a dinosaur design was a hit with my 2 year old son AND my 5 year old daughter! They loved "feeding" the dinosaur and making it pick things up while rolling it around the playroom. I wasn't sure if they would like it since they have other trucks and tons of dinosaurs, but I think the fact that it was a combination made it that much more interesting to them. Good quality too. Love it.
Took some time to get used to...
By JNL
from NJ
About Me Educator
My daughter received this toy to review for free. She was not interested in it at all when we first took it out of the package. As it has sat in our playroom, she has started to play with it more and more. I don't know what the original hesitation was about, although I believe it probably had something to do with the fact that the only other construction vehicle that she has is battery operated and moves on its own with the push of a button. We haven't had a chance to get this outside to test for its durability but it looks like it will hold up well out in the elements. I am sure she will enjoy making tracks in the dirt with it and scooping up dirt and mulch with the t-rex head.
Great construction toy!! High quality and well designed!
By sp100
from Austin, TX
I received this toy from Educational Insights for my honest feedback. This is a great dinosaur-style construction truck for both indoor and outdoor use. It's big but easy to use and is really good to kids to engage in pretend play. Our 4-yr old son loves it and it has been a great addition to his set of construction toys!
Awesome Dino Construction Loader
By NMomma
from La Mirada
My son loves his Dino Construction Loader! He makes all kinds of noise while playing with it. He tries to pick things up with it and unloads into his dump trucks. He has lots of toy dinosaurs he will take out along with his Dino Loader and plays by himself for a good amount of time. I like that he has to maneuver the Truck which helps to develop his hand coordination. I love how this toy allows his imagination to go to many places developing creativity and fun play.
Great for 2yo obsessed dinosaurs and trucks!
By Queen Esther
from Los Angeles, CA
My 2yo son is obsessed with dinosaurs and trucks. This toy combines the two! Need I say more?? LOL. He loves feeding the dino mouth with all sorts of items - including real food, and the track treads are fun for when playing outside in dirt or sand. Good sturdy construction.

10 Most Expensive Beers in Baseball
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- We're roughly a month into the Major League Baseball season and baseball's beer drinking fans are already behind in the standings.
Major League Baseball's average price for a small beer rose from $5.81 last year to $6.16 this year. At this time last year, the highest price for a small beer was the $7.25 the Boston Red Sox were charging at Fenway Park. This year three teams have exceeded that price, with one team breaking the $8 barrier for the first time ever.
With help from Team Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index , we came up with the Top 10 beer prices in the league. In each case, fans are getting soaked beyond the average:
10. New York Mets/Milwaukee Brewers
Price of a small draft beer: $5.75
The team moved in the fences, brought back some of the blue and orange trim and kept beer prices steady to give fans something to cheer about after last year's miserable season. The Brewers, meanwhile, celebrated the NL Central title by increasing the price of a 16-ounce beer by 25 cents.
9. Tie: Baltimore Orioles/Los Angeles Dodgers
Price of a small draft beer: $6.25
The O's held to last year's price for an 18-ounce beer, while the recently sold Dodgers are charging 25 cents more for a 16-ounce cup than they did in 2011. With both starting the season on a high note, maybe fans won't notice until the first slump.
8. Tie: Chicago White Sox/Washington Nationals/
Price of a small draft beer: $6.50
The White Sox and Washington held the line from 2011, but that $6.50 price tag in 2012 still puts both teams firmly within the Top 10. Not raising the price of a costly beer doesn't make it any more affordable, unless you plan on hosting a "give everyone a 5% raise" promotion night.
7. St. Louis Cardinals
Price of a small draft beer: $6.75
The price hasn't changed since last year, but c'mon. You're practically bicycling Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) products in from the brewery and the stadium has the Busch family's name on it. This must hurt even worse for Cards fans knowing that they're paying more for 12 ounces of beer than their fellow beer-ballpark fans pay for a pint at Milwaukee's Miller Park ($5.75) or Colorado's Coors(TAP) Field ($6).
6. Atlanta Braves
Price of a small draft beer: $7
Your team collapses at the end of last season and fails to make the playoffs and you still raise the price of a 16-ounce beer by 25 cents. No wonder Coca-Cola(KO) is so popular in the ATL.
