By USA Triathlon
The ITU World Triathlon Series season opener took place in [April] in Sydney, and two U.S. elites — Gwen Jorgensen and Jarrod Shoemaker — finished in the top ten. Shoemaker, a member of the 2012 USA Triathlon National Team and a 2008 Olympian, opened his season earlier this spring at the ITU Sprint Triathlon Pan American Cup in Clermont, Fla., and he will compete in the World Triathlon San Diego on May 11. With a couple of 2012 events under his belt, Shoemaker shares how he is preparing for the rest of the season and the mental approach he is taking for upcoming large-scale events.
USA Triathlon: How significant was it for you to post the top-10 finish in Sydney after your 2011 season?
Jarrod Shoemaker: I finished 2011 strong after recovering from my concussion and neck injury and had a great offseason of training. I was going into Sydney hoping to have a good race, as my races the past two years there did not go so well. This is a great way to start off the season.
USAT: How does your finish in Sydney help you to prepare for San Diego?
JS: I have been training very hard this winter and it's great to start the season off on the right note as opposed to the past few years. For me, this starts the season out well and puts me in a good position for the rest of the year.
USAT: What does your training plan look like for the next few weeks leading up to San Diego?
JS: Same thing as I have been doing the past few months — swimming, biking and running, along with a few trips to the beach.
USAT: What did you focus on in the offseason to prepare for 2012, and how will that help you in your quest to qualify for London?
JS: I am not on a quest to qualify for London; I am focused on being the best triathlete I can be in 2012. We went back to basics after last season and looked at what I needed to do to push myself to the next level. I also looked inside and decided what I wanted out of my career.
USAT: Do you have any other goals for this season besides San Diego and London?
JS: My major goal is to be the best triathlete I can be in 2012 and beyond.

Skip to comments.Clinton, still recovering, to be back at desk Monday (She's healed)
Posted on 12/27/2012 10:24:35 PM PST by Libloather
click here to read article
She could've submitted her Benghazi answers in writing.
Perhaps getting ready for your big 'Benghazi' television appearance requires a thorough face-lift since prep for her 2016 run is all it would be about anyway, right?
And all the world marveled at her head wound being healed...
I love that, "fiercer critics". Yeah, like ANYBODY WITH A BRAIN!
She is suffering from a terminal case of UGLY, National Enquier says its brain cancer, but I differ.
Hey her 28 days in rehab are up so it is time to reemerge
Expect to hear a lot of "I don't recall" from the Commie prick..she will have a excuse..she will say she got a boo boo on her head
Is she no longer concussed?
I'm still thinking it has something to do with Bill being reported to have reached out to the old girl friend.
She will claim she has no idea what a "Benghazi" is..she will say "Wait is that some kind of cocktail?"
On the upside, Hellery's immaculate concussion has caused her to remember how the Rose Law Firm billing records magically appeared, why she kept 800 FBI files on her political opponents, and who killed Vince Foster.
It shouldn't be allowed in public without a complete burka!!!
2. Back during the Monica Lewinsky news cycles, (and IIRC) Bill went to china, and spent an extra week or so there, patiently waiting for the news "trail" to cool down a bit. This appears to be the same strat, kinda, does it not?
"Do you believe in miracles?"
Face Lift or DeTox.?
I've heard that some reptiles can grow new appendages when severed from their bodies.
Have Humpty Hillary testify under oath.
Hear she's doing the the new Intensity "Cankle" Workout and has lost about 15lbs in each cankle.
Oh, I think the occasional night when he has to be home with her they have "hall sex"....what is that? It's when they pass each other in the hall and mutter "Frack You."
Expect to hear a lot of I dont recall from the Commie prick..she will have a excuse..she will say she got a boo boo on her head>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Reopen the Vince Foster investigation. The guy shot himself in the back of the head, now thats concussion!
Huma Abedin better be looking over her shoulder.
1. I find it amusing (but not surprising) that her (alleged) husband has had nothing to say. Do they even e-mail each other?
2. Back during the Monica Lewinsky news cycles, (and IIRC) Bill went to china, and spent an extra week or so there, patiently waiting for the news "trail" to cool down a bit. This appears to be the same strat, kinda, does it not?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
How can we even begin to mix metaphors on Hillery? This was a blow to the head , not a head for a blow.
Or maybe it was, and Bill just kept hitting her to get her off him?
Hillary's big secret is that she has a penis and her real name is Harry.
"She's healed!" Praise Jesus!
It was a lie like every other thing in her life.
'will take up her official duties again "next week"'
At this stage of the game, wouldn't her only official duties be cleaning out her desk?
There is not that much plastic surgery in the world to fix that!
Where's Bubba? Why is he saying nothing?
Stand by for the doctor's note that says she will be unable to testify due to the stress on her health.
I, for one cannot wait for Hillary's testimony. It will be the best Kabuki theater since Bill's, "The meaning of is, is" on 60 Minutes. I can see it now. Hillary in a wheel chair with bandages around her head, IV tubes and bottles dangling from the poles, at least one doctor and two nurses in a attendance. The Senators and Representatives all being very sympathetic and gentle. Then the Washington press corpse spending the next month or so telling us, how brave and heroic Ms Clinton is.
I bet she shows up at the testimony with a bike helmet on and apologizes that she won't be able to answer any question because the concussion gave her amnesia about Benghazi but thinks she will be OK again in about three years
Festivus: The annual airing of grievances!
To rhyme: Botox...
More like Botox or Detox?
10-1 she'll be off on a foreign trip so she can avoid testifying on Bengazhi.
It's a miracle.
But she will probably have a note from her doctor advising her to refrain from stressful activities like raising her right hand and telling the truth about Benghazzi.
Oh My.
Fainting: keeled due to being totally wasted.
Bump on head: a lie. This only happens in soap operas. And even if she did hit her head, she would have been okay within minutes. It doesn't take weeks to heal from.
Not only has it cooled down but the financial cliff crap (probably with absolutely no new input from the intransigent Precedent) will be one of the only two HOT HOT HOT stories on TV along with continued wallowing in the blood of those innocent children and their devastated parents despite no new developments there.
Quick, subpoena her and see how fast it takes for a relapse.
I've a feeling she was pithed like a frog by zombies years ago, but alas, jus my 'magination.

Topic: Simple project management tool?
I was about to sit down and write a simple project management tool, but thought I should ask if anyone knows of one with the following features -- I've tried searching though sf/freshmeat/etc without much luck.
Minimum requirements:
-- simple To-Do List
-- Story/Use-Case list with some hook to project's acceptence/integration testing
-- Single user, single project
Would be nice
-- Multiple users/projects
-- rcov integration for displaying test coverage
-- svn integration for triggering updates to things
It doesn't have to be RoR-based, but given the desired integration with rail's version of acceptence tests and rcov, I guess it would be unlikely for it not to be RoR-based.
I'm not looking for things like a forum, or a ticket tracking system, or a wiki.

I just recently switched from Time Warner Cable (after 15 years) to ATT U-Verse. The biggest reason I switched was the constant "pixellation" (don't know if this is the proper term) on High Def channels. When watching some Hi-Def channels the picture would suddenly burst into tiny squares and screw the sound up. Didn't happen all the time but enough to first become annoying and then unwatchable.
Time Warner came out four times including a re-wire and could not fix it. The last time I called the CSR told me I had to "live with it". Two days later, I switched to U-Verse. It has been okay for 7 weeks till last night I noticed a short pixellation on a Hi-Def channel.
Anybody else experiencing this with their cable company or satellite service?
Also, if you know the problem, how do you fix it?

I was testing CUBRID Chef Cookbook on CentOS 6.3 today using Vagrant tool when I encountered the following error with Chef 10.12.0:
FATAL: NameError: python_pipvirtualenv (python::virtualenv line 23) had an error: NameError: Cannot find a resource for converge_by on centos version 6.3
The solution to this problem occured to be trivial: converge_by resource has been introduced quite recently in a newer version of Chef. Therefore a simple update to Chef solved this problem.
sudo gem update chef ohai --no-ri --no-rdoc
And the error is gone!

One of the segments was on the Palio, the famous, twice-yearly horse race in Siena. Mayne gained insider access to the Leocorno (Unicorn) contrada to cover the race from mane (ahem) to tail. We learn about Leocorno's rivalry with the Civetta (Owl) contrada, the pre-race ritual of having the horse blessed in the district church, and the strategies and intrigue that go into competing in one of Italy's oldest sports traditions. Both the footage and the commentary in this segment were compelling, so I wanted to share the video with you.
Fantastic stuff, Mr. Mayne. Mille grazie!

You use the lower flue for pre-heating the oven, but during the bake, when you want the smoke away from the pizza, you use the upper flue.
AP, one thing to keep in mind- if you have any hope of getting proper pizza making temps, you should be shielding the floor from any direct heat from the firebox. The goal should be a freakishly hot ceiling that then heats the floor via IR. Firebox heats ceiling, ceiling heats floor.
Check out this monster kiln
This design isn't really a white oven, and the best I have seen neither are most of the big old coal ovens. With a firebox bellow the oven that directly heats the oven chamber this is closest in design to a french Guillard bread oven. Getting this design to pizza temperatures with the proper balance of top and bottom heat is gonna be tough. I personally think your two best options would be:1. Fully insulate between the floor and and firebox bellow and then build an adjustable throat where the flame enters the oven chamber. This throat can be used to direct the flame down to the floor during heat-up and then change the angle to provide top heat during cooking once the floor is charged.2. Build a removable layer of insulation that sits between the firebox and the cooking floor. It would be removed during heat up to heat the floor, once the floor is charged it would be put in place to stop the floor from super heating while bringing the dome up to cooking temperature and during cooking.
All reasons I went to the offset firebox design (crossdraft) rather than the under floor.
I haven't been around much this week, I saw that proposed, guess in my skimming I didn't notice you had changed your plans.At this point it becomes very similar to an old style coal oven. Where do you plan to locate the flu openings? Will you have a secondary flue opening above the door to catch the smoke when it is open? I think you are on the path to a functional oven now, but I do think it is a design more suited to East Coast US style pizza cooked in 3 or 4 minutes. Is that what you are after?
If it's good enough to make pottery, with all the complicated glazes (thats COMPLICATED), simple bottom - top heat calculations at a relatively low temp should be easy. I like the crossdraft, U-shape supply with adjustable vent. It's close in concept to the LBE. Can you take some pictures of the other potter's ovens? Are they much different?I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out, with you and Meesh collaborating. I live in an area with lots of good clay, plentiful firewood, and my wife used to make pottery in a little kiln - I'm thinking of giving this a try too.
I want to say again that I really appreciate the suggestions, collective wisdom, and the discussion here. My design has changed quite a bit because of everyone's input.
It's a lot of fun isn't it. Nice to run across somebody who doesn't think people are being jerks, just trying to help.
The idea of improving upon 5000+ years of baking experience seems to be a bit of a waste of time to me. If you are trying for a new type or style of cooking I can see it, but realistically, the problem was been solved and refined to a high degree. What is the point? Do you want to have a combo kiln/oven?
pizzaneer- here's some shots of my kiln. The firebox is a "Bourry box"- 40" wide wood is suspended above the coal bed- primary air is sucked through the wood charge, so it effectively burns upside down. The fire gets superheated as it approaches the coal bed. The firebox shot shows the "throat" area as well. This firebox design has a number of advantages,including the ability to put a lot of wood in, and that the wood shields you from the intense heat in the kiln (some other designs will catch you on fire from radiative heat if you aren't careful).The pic with me loading shows the flue area- the vent to the chimney. They go all the way across to even flow, and I have "passive dampers" that I can use to direct heat left and right to even out a firing.The fire pic is me next to the firebox during a "reduction" cycle- getting the burn to be inefficient at certain times actually helps with clay and glaze colors. With the draft slowed way down, the gases produced by the heating wood create a back pressure, and the hot gases combust when they hit air.

View masterpieces as you've never seen them before
This exceptional series documents the Louvre's study days, in which works by five major artists— Raphael, Rembrandt, Poussin, Watteau, and Leonardo—were collected together, removed from their frames, and set on easels, replicating the feel of an artist's studio. Curators, historians, restorers, and scientists from around the world came to examine and discuss them in total freedom.
Looking through their eyes and listening in on their conversations, we observe the restorations, repairs, and often capricious changes made over the centuries. From up close, we see the faint lines where the artist changed his mind, witness how time has ravaged the canvases, and debate the evidence that a master painted a particular work. Engaging animations explain and simplify complex language and concepts. By revealing what isn't meant to be seen, this fascinating series shows that art is more than meets the eye.
Juliette Garcias and Stan Neumann have each directed several documentary films for the Louvre, on subjects ranging from the great masters to architecture and ancient pyramids.

Democratic Committee Delays Announcing County Executive Candidate
MAYVILLE – The announcement of a Democratic Party candidate for county executive has been postponed.
Norm Green, Chautauqua County Democratic Committee chairman, said that the announcement of a Democratic candidate, which was expected later this week, will be put off for two weeks.
"In light of County Executive Greg Edwards' announcement Friday that he is not running for re-election, I have asked the Democratic candidate who was to announce a county executive run this week to delay the release, and the candidate agreed," Green said.
Green emphasized that the process the committee goes through is open and transparent. He said committee members had asked that it extend the search process for two weeks in order to avoid criticism, while listening to anyone else who may come forward.
"We want to avoid a primary and we want to hear from all prospective candidates so as to assure ourselves that we have the very best nominee," Green said.
In order to be considered, Green said people call the county chairman on the phone in order to express interest. A search committee then speaks with potential candidates to help decide the Democratic candidate. When choosing a potential candidate, the committee looks for a couple basic items.
"One, they have to be of good character, and two, they have to have the ability to do the job," Green said.
By delaying the candidate announcement by two weeks, Green said it will allow other interested parties an opportunity to come forward and be considered in a Democratic process.
"Also, Greg Edwards is a gentleman and someone I respect," Green said. "He deserves to not to have his county government retirement announcement stepped on by me or the Democrats. I may not agree with his politics, but I admire this good family man and will miss working with him in Mayville."
A phone call to the Chautauqua County Republican committee for the status of finding a Republican candidate was not immediately returned Monday.

If I was able to acquire this product shipping included to the midwest for under 1500.00 and still intact, I'll take one.My concerns are similar to the others, quality of the product, ability to maintain qualityfor an extended period of time.The oven would need to be able to achieve high heat that could be consistently held in the 1000F range.Room enough for a 16" or 18" pie.I too would like to see some samples baked in the oven. Pictures and videos are great marketing materials.UPDATE: After reading the first post again, and this time noticing it was gas fired, I would rather spend 300.00 for a 2stone and achievethe same results. If this unit can also be wood fired and achieve the specs above, count me in. I am going to make the assumption that it is too small to be wood fired.Mark
Although I think you would need to bring the wood to coals before cooking.
Is that fine to do with a gas oven -- have a wood fire going in there also? would there even be enough room for the gas burner, a wood fire, and a pizza?

Commisioners to consider new taxes for county
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners will consider a resolution Tuesday, June 25, supporting a wheelage tax of $10 per vehicle, beginning in January 2014.
The 2013 Legislature approved the expansion of the wheelage tax authority to all 87 Minnesota counties. The tax applies to most vehicles except motorcycles, trailers and collector vehicles, according to the Request for Board Action (RBA) on the county agenda.
Brown County needs to notify the state by Aug. 1, 2013 if it intends to collect the wheelage tax. It is estimated that Brown County's 28,600 vehicles subject to the tax would yield about $286,000 a year for transportation expenses, according to the RBA.
The new draft Five-Year Construction Program shows an unmet need of $18,950,000 in transportation projects that should be in the five-year plan but are not due to the funding shortage, according to the RBA.
Some of the county road surfaces are more than 20 years old and in poor condition. Much more money would have to be spent patching large parts of the old roads if they fail, which is most likely in the spring, according to the RBA. The Brown County Highway Committee agreed this item should be considered.
Commissioners will also consider:
Imposing a Local Option Sales Tax, after the 2013 Legislature approved the authority of county governments to impose the tax following public hearings. Referendum votes are not needed to approve the tax, according to the RBA.
The rate can be up to one-half of one percent. Tax proceeds must be dedicated exclusively to a specific transportation or transit project and must terminate when revenues are sufficient to fund the project, according to the RBA.
It has been estimated that Brown County would receive about $1,102,000 in one year from a one-half one one percent sales tax. Even if the local option sales tax was collected for five years for several projects, the County would still be $13 million short of its need. The Brown County Highway Committee agreed this item should be considered.
Increasing the county probation officer on-call rates to $135 or $150 per weekend. Probation officers are required to be "on call" on weekends. They received phone calls from law enforcement asking if someone should be held in jail, detention or released; electronic monitoring firms call about people using or absconding; parents call on curfew, absconding or use violations; and other probation officers seeking case advice, according to the RBA.
The county board meeting begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the courthouse commissioner's room.

Hi Bellas,
I'm back with another post and this one is all about angled brushes - whether you use it for your brows, lips or liner, they come in very handy. Qosmedix sent me a bunch of affordable options to try out after I wasn't satisfied with a brow brush they sent me in the last bunch. Check them out!
I received a variety of "brow brushes" to try out. I love using angled brushes to fill in brows with eyeshadow or brow powder because it gives me perfect hair like strokes. But in actuality, these are just angled brushes which can be used for a variety of things. I use these not only for brows but for the following:
- Applying eyeliner - gel, liquid or powder (you'll get the perfect cat-eye, winged shape with a brush)
- Filling in facial hair on men (similar to filling in brows)
- Applying lip product - use with lipstick for a super clean application (great for red or dark lip colors).
- Applying concealer around the brows or lips to highlight and touch up (this is a trip makeup artists use to clean up mistakes and give the illusion of perfect lips and brows)
As you can see these bad boys come in handy! All of the brushes from Qosmedix are super affordable and sold in bulk. I find that I have multiple in my kit since I use a couple per client. These are some key things to look for in a brow brush from stiffness, thickness, size, etc. Here are my thoughts on the brushes I received.
Wow, $8.00 for 25 brushes. Good deal huh? This is a basic angled brush with medium density. I find that it's stiff enough to use on both brows and liner without being too flimsy or rough.
This short handled brush is great for touch up. The shorter handles are also good for control especially if you're doing makeup on yourself. The bristles are a little softer on this one which means you won't get quite as much color deposit.
This is probably my favorite brow brush of the bunch. It's got the stiffest bristles so that I can draw on the little hair like strokes. I like the all-silver look to it as well.
This brush had super soft bristles, almost fluffy actually. At first that would be a turn off, however I found that if you have good brows already and need a sheer layer of filling in, this is great. It's softer bristles allow for more sheer application. The brush head is still small enough to give you precise placement as well.
I love how this brush is super tiny. It gives you really precise eye liner application.
This is an average brow brush - good enough to do the job, pretty run of the mill.
This brush has a larger head, great for bigger eyes and quick brow fill-in.
All the pencils next to each-other.
Close up of the heads - as you can see, there are a variety to choose from to suit your needs.
You can find these products at www.Qosmedix.com. Have you all purchased from them before? If you're a makeup artist, definitely check it out...you can find some necessary tools at wholesale prices.

Euglena is a genus of unicellular flagellate protists. It is the best known and most widely studied member of the phylum Euglenozoa (also known as Euglenophyta), a diverse group containing some 44 genera and at least 800 species.[1] Species of Euglena are found in fresh and salt waters. They are often abundant in quiet, inland waters, where they may bloom in numbers sufficient to color the surface of ponds and ditches green (E. viridis) or red (E. sanguinea).[1]
The species Euglena gracilis, has been used extensively in the laboratory as a model organism.[2]
Most species of Euglena have photosynthesizing chloroplasts within the body of the cell, which enable them to feed by autotrophy, like plants. However, they can also take nourishment heterotrophically, like animals. Since Euglena have features of both animals and plants, early taxonomists, working within the Linnaean two-kingdom system of biological classification, found them difficult to classify.[3][4] Indeed, it was the question of where to put such "unclassifiable" creatures that prompted Ernst Haeckel to add a third kingdom to the Animale and Vegetabile of Linnaeus: the Kingdom Protista.[5]
Form and function
When feeding as a heterotroph, the Euglena surrounds a particle of food and consumes it by phagocytosis. When there is sufficient sunlight for it to feed by phototrophy, it uses chloroplasts containing the pigments Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b to produce sugars by photosynthesis.[6] Euglena's chloroplasts are surrounded by three membranes, while those of plants and the green algae (among which earlier taxonomists often placed Euglena) have only two membranes. This fact has been taken as morphological evidence that Euglena's chloroplasts evolved from a eukaryotic green algae.[7] Thus, the intriguing similarities between Euglena and the plants would have arisen, not because of kinship, but because of a secondary endosymbiosis. Molecular phylogenetic analysis has lent support to this hypothesis, and it is now generally accepted.[8][9]
Euglena chloroplasts contain pyrenoids, used in the synthesis of paramylon, a form of starch energy storage enabling Euglena to survive periods of light deprivation. The presence of pyrenoids is used as an identifying feature of the genus, separating it from other Euglenoids, such as Lepocinclis and Phacus.[10]
Like other Euglenoids, Euglena possess a red eyespot, an organelle composed of carotenoid pigment granules. The red spot itself is not thought to be photosensitive. Rather, it filters the sunlight that falls on a light-detecting structure at the base of the flagellum (a swelling, known as the paraflagellar body), allowing only certain wavelengths of light to reach it. As the cell rotates with respect to the light source, the eyespot partially blocks the source, permitting the Euglena to find the light and move toward it (a process known as phototaxis).[11]
Euglena lacks a cell wall (an outer membrane containing cellulose). Instead, it has a pellicle made up of a protein layer supported by a substructure of microtubules, arranged in strips spiraling around the cell. The action of these pellicle strips sliding over one another gives Euglena its exceptional flexibility and contractility.[11]
In low moisture conditions, or when food is scarce, Euglena forms a protective wall around itself and lies dormant as a resting cyst until environmental conditions improve.
Historical background and early classification
Species of Euglena were among the first protists to be seen under the microscope.
In 1674, in a letter to the Royal Society, the Dutch pioneer of microscopy Antony van Leeuwenhoek wrote that he had collected water samples from an inland lake, in which he found "animalcules" that were "green in the middle, and before and behind white." Clifford Dobell regards it as "almost certain" that these were Euglena viridis, whose "peculiar arrangement of chromatophores...gives the flagellate this appearance at low magnification."[12]
Twenty-two years later, John Harris published a brief series of "Microscopical Observations" reporting that he had examined "a small Drop of the Green Surface of some Puddle-Water" and found it to be "altogether composed of Animals of several Shapes and Magnitudes." Among them, were "oval creatures whose middle part was of a Grass Green, but each end Clear and Transparent," which "would contract and dilate themselves, tumble over and over many times together, and then shoot away like Fishes." [13]
In 1786, O.F. Müller gave a more complete description of the organism, which he named Cercaria viridis, noting its distinctive color and changeable body shape. Müller also provided a series of illustrations, accurately depicting the undulating, contractile movements (or metaboly) of Euglena's body.[14]
In 1830, C. G. Ehrenberg renamed Müller's Cercaria Euglena viridis, and placed it, in keeping with the short-lived system of classification he invented, among the Polygastrica in the family Astasiaea: multi-stomached creatures with no alimentary canal, variable body shape but no pseudopods or lorica.[15][16] By making use of the newly-invented achromatic microscope,[17] Ehrenberg was able to see Euglena's eyespot, which he correctly identified as a "rudimentary eye" (although he reasoned, wrongly, that this meant the creature also had a nervous system).
Ehrenberg did not notice Euglena's flagella, however. The first to publish a record of this feature was Félix Dujardin, who added "filament flagelliforme" to the descriptive criteria of the genus in 1841.[18] Subsequently, the class Flagellata (Cohn, 1853) was created for creatures, like Euglena, possessing one or more flagella. While "Flagellata" has fallen from use as a taxon, the notion of using flagella as a phylogenetic criterion remains vigorous.[19]
Recent Phylogeny and Classification
In 1881, Georg Klebs made a primary taxonomical distinction between green and colorless flagellate organisms, separating the photosynthesizing Euglenoids from those that live by phagotrophy. The latter (colorless, shape-changing uniflagellates) were divided among the Astasiaceae and the Peranemaceae, while flexible green Euglenoids were generally assigned to the genus Euglena.[20]
As early as 1935, it was recognized that this was an artificial grouping, however convenient.[21] In 1948, Pringsheim affirmed that the distinction between green and colorless flagellates had no taxonomical justification, although he acknowledged its practical appeal. He proposed something of a compromise, placing colorless, saprotrophic Euglenoids in the genus Astasia, while allowing some colorless Euglenoids to share a genus with their photosynthesizing cousins, provided they had structural features that proved common ancestry. Among the green Euglenoids themselves, Pringsheim recognized the close kinship of some species of Phacus and Lepocinclis with some species of Euglena.[20]
The idea of classifiying the Euglenoids by their manner of nourishment was finally abandoned in the 1950s, when A. Hollande published a major revision of the phylum, grouping organisms by shared structural features, such as the number and type of flagella.[22] If any doubt remained, it was dispelled in 1994, when genetic analysis of the non-photosynthesizing Euglenoid Astasia longa confirmed that this organism retains sequences of DNA inherited from an ancestor that must have had functioning chloroplasts.[23]
In 1997, a morphological and molecular study of the Euglenozoa, put Euglena gracilis in close kinship with the species Khawkinea quartana, with Peranema trichophorum basal to both.[24] Two years later, a molecular analysis showed that Euglena gracilis was, in fact, more closely related to Astasia longa than to certain other species recognized as Euglena. Furthermore, the venerable Euglena viridis was found to be genetically closer to Khawkinea quartana than to the other species of Euglena studied.[22]
Recognizing the polyphyletic nature of the genus Euglena, Marin et al. (2003) have revised it to include certain members traditionally placed in Astasia and Khawkinea.[10]

Dispatch of 2008 Winter WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps Teams
To : Presidents, Member National Associations Presidents, Continental Unions,
Dear Sirs/Madams:
After a successful 2008 Summer WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps program, the World Taekwondo Federation will send 2008 Winter WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps teams to selected WTF member national associations for one to two months this winter.
This past summer, a total of 27 Taekwondo Peace Corps members were selected and they underwent two weeks of intensive training-camp education course in the fields of competition, poomsae and taekwondo demonstration. Seven teams were dispatched for about one month to five countries - Russia (Moscow), India (Bombay and Goa), Pakistan (Islamabad), Paraguay (Asuncion), and China (Qingdao and Urumqi). Reflecting the successful Taekwondo Peace Corps activities, a growing number of countries are showing interest in the program.
Each team consists of four people - three taekwondo practitioners with at least 3rd Kukkiwon Dan certificate holders, and one with proficient language skills.
The WTF will pay for the round-trip airfares for the members of the dispatched Taekwondo Peace Corps teams, while the successful applying member national associations are required to provide the members' accommodations, meals and local transportation during the dispatch period, as well as the provision of a local guide.
After consultations with applying member national associations, the WTF will finalize the team's dispatch period and other necessary matters.
Any WTF member national associations interested in the 2008 Winter WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps program can download the application form for the dispatch of the 2008 Winter WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps teams from the WTF's official Web site (http://www.wtf.org/) and fill out the attached application form before sending it to us either by fax (82 553 4728) or email (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The deadline for the submission of the application form is October 31, 2008 and the successful applicants will be notified in late November or early December.
Since the WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps is operated as one of the WTF Solidarity programs for technical enhancement of WTF member national associations, I ask for your active participation in the 2008 Winter WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps program.
Sincerely yours,
Jin Suk Yang
Secretary General of the WTF
Director General of the Taekwondo Peace Corps

When will we have the next one???
Good question Iddee. I enjoyed the last one. What's up?
To everything there is a season....
Seriously, ED, I was thinking of , instead of a select person, maybe a select topic. Sort of a round table discussion where you knew the topic beforehand and could prepare your questions and/or info in advance.
I like that idea a lot!
Se it up and I will be there!
You guys can feel free to pick any topic you wish to talk about. Just decide what topic you want and then start a new thread here. Oh, and make sure you assign a date and time!
I guess I'll be looking for your next post!

Outstanding! An explosion of double white flowers float like clouds in summer. This cultivar sets the standard by which all others are judged. Gypsophlia provides excellent contrast and texture to the perennial border.
Baby's Breath is widely used as an accent in cut-flower arrangements as well as dried bouquets.
Gypsophila are valued as both a long-lasting cut flower and for dried arrangements. Provides nice contrast in the border with its airy habit of profuse blooms. Clouds of flowers! Neighboring plants will poke their flowers through for interesting natural combinations.
No special care needed. Dislikes being moved or divided once established. Likes a well-drained, alkaline soil. Clip plants lightly immediately after blooming to encourage re-bloom.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

5 stars
Posted by Reviewer3265272 on Jun 08, 2008
Garden of Life's Perfect Cleanse actually works very well. If it's a colon cleanse, forget it. You get them from the doctor every time you have a colonscopy. No "gunk" comes out and if it stayed behind the medical establishment would have noticed decades ago. Perfect Cleanse is the only product on the market that makes good physiological sense. In days past we would have consumed more fiber and automatically removed toxins on our own. Now we consume less fiber, absorb more of our bile (with toxins) and have a more of a toxic load than ever. The next best quality of Perfect Cleanse is that it doesn't make you sick or interupt your normal schedule. Everything works as normal because you are boosting your own system of elimenating toxins. The other good quality is it is inexpensive. As a registered dietitian and liscenced nutritionist I don't give out such reviews unless they are qualitively and quantitatively accurate. Not only have I felt better but mid way through the cleanse I had my monthly blood test which showed improvements in a number of health perameters. I'd give it 5 stars out of 5. I'm suprised, but delighted. I was hoping but not really expecting such good results.
Must Try This Cleanse
Posted by Reviewer2592649 on Jan 18, 2007
I have used other cleanse products, and this one was really good. It was very simple and didn't interrupt your day with bathroom trips. I found that #3 Remove that contained natural epsom salts as a natural laxative worked way better on me than the Senna which was in the other product i used. I had a headache the first couple of days but that is normal with a cleanse and the removal of toxins from your body and now after 6 days I have renewed energy and stamina which i had with my previous cleanse. Overall i recommend this cleanse. it's affordable, short duration, easy to use and does not interrupt your normal daily routine!
very gentle
Posted by Reviewer1198138 on Oct 28, 2007
Give it a chance, great bargain; plus "Garden of Life" is such a quality company! It took 3 days, for me to feel better, now each day on it I get improvement. (take it from me I had liver damage from coffee, and prescriptions)

Garden of Life, Perfect Cleanse, 3 Easy Steps
Posted by Reviewer3357437 on Apr 29, 2008
I have never used a colon cleans product before so I decided to go with this one. It was easy to use especially due to my busy schedule, and very gentle to my system. I highly recommend this product.
Garden of Life - Perfect cleanse is a good experience
Posted by Reviewer1384762 on Jun 10, 2008
Garden of Life - Perfect cleanse is a good experience. It made me move my bowel everyday, sometimes 2x a day without effort and no feeling of discomfort at all - no diarrhea feeling. Also, it helped me get rid of toxins inside my body. I really felt clean from within!
First time users
Posted by Reviewer1324131 on Jun 11, 2008
My husband and I were very pleased at the gentleness of the product. This was the first time that my husband had cleansed, and with this product will be likely to do it again.
Great Liver Cleanse!!!
Posted by Reviewer3098379 on Jul 06, 2009
I have used this product 4-5 times with excellent results each time. It's great for cleasning the liver and elimination. The pills are easy to take, 1-2-3 prior, after dinner & before bedtime. I have more energy and know that my liver likes this totally herbal cleanse.
Perfect Cleanse
Posted by Reviewer2807997 on Apr 13, 2009
Good price, works well, and is all-natural, with no harsh laxatives or other ingredients. Perfect Cleanse will not disrupt your daily routines. Perfect Cleanse works to detoxify the liver, while cleaning the intestines and colon at the same time. The product is taken at night, with three different stages taken before and after dinner, as well as before bed. Cleared up a few issues I'd been having, and I would definately use it again.
Garden of Life Cleanse
Posted by Reviewer1842394 on Apr 19, 2009
I bought this cleanse for my elderly mother after an extended illness. I knew she would need a cleanse that was mild yet thurough and I beleive we have found a quality product that we can feel good about recommending. She and I both appreciate the simplisity and quality of this product. Price is very important to her, as she is on a limited income, and the price of this product is very reasonable.

Yahoo article last night before the numebrs werer announced.
http://news.yahoo.com/us-unemployment-r ... nance.html
The Yahoo article assumed a jump in the unemployemnt rate despite the expected increase in jobs. the expectation was very close to the actual number but instead of going up the rate went down .3% to 7.8%.
bureau of labor statistics website (they do the calulation).
Jack Welch and I are both skeptical. I don't want to believe the committee to re-elect the president would try and change the facts to serve their cause. Labor force participation rate even went up .1% which would make it even harder for the rate to go down with only 114k new jobs.
Unprecendented times we live in.
