BEIJING, China - Before a crowd of over 5,500, the 2004 Paralympic Games gold medalists China secured their second consecutive Paralympic gold medal by defeating the U.S. in straight sets (25-14, 25-19, 25-15) in the Women's Sitting Volleyball final match on Sunday, September 14.
Team USA fought with all of their courage and energy to try to upset favorite China, but numerous errors for the U.S. team, combined with star China player Sheng Yuhong's 28 points, were too much for the U.S. to overcome.
"It wasn't the match we wanted to play," said Lora Webster (Cave Creek, Ariz./Edmond, Okla.). "But we worked extremely hard to get here and there is still nothing like having a medal hang around your neck."
Team USA was led by Team Captain Brenda Maymon (Sellersberg, Ind.), along with other starters Webster, Katie Holloway (Lake Stevens, Wash./Edmond, Okla.), Kendra Lancaster (Sheridan, Ind.), Heather Erickson (Fayetteville, N.C.) and Allison Aldrich (Schuyler, Neb.). Kari Miller (Washington, D.C./Edmond, Okla.) served as Libero.
The U.S. scored the first point of the first set with a powerful kill by Maymon. The set remained close and after the first technical time-out the score was tied at eight. China then began to pull away but the U.S. marched right back until China called a time-out with the U.S. trailing by two (14-12). After the time-out, it was all China and the U.S. only managed to score two more points in the entire set. Team USA committed 13 hitting errors in the first set and struggled to keep the ball in play with their serves.
The second set began similar to the first with the teams playing evenly and the U.S. taking the lead with a score of 7-5. China then took control and went on a 6-0 run and the U.S. could never get past the initial run.
In the third and final set after a tied score of three, the U.S. played in the deficit the remainder of the game. China came out with strong hits and fast movement on the court; ready to claim their gold medal once more. When China led 21-15, they scored four unanswered points to finish the set 25-15 and claim the title for a second time.
"Playing the former gold medal team in their home country - that is a once in a lifetime opportunity," commented Assistant Coach Denise Van deWalle (Bowling Green, Ohio). "We have improved a lot and we've come so far but we were simply out-played today. It was just not our day."
With tears streaming down her face, 15-year old Erickson, the youngest member of the team commented "I wanted to win so badly. I think that we didn't execute our plan and we had a lot of unforced errors. But I am going to keep playing and hopefully come back in four years and beat them."
Holloway once again led the team in scoring with eight points earned on five kills, two blocks and one ace. Webster contributed six points and Maymon had five.
Team USA will now begin training for the World Disabled Volleyball Championships, set to be held in Oklahoma City, Okla. in July of 2010.

Reviews of this property
Natalia is very friendly and helpfull. The room and bath is nice. And very easy to access the city via metro or bus.
Me and my sister had a great stay at Natalia's apartment. Natalia is a very good host, always smiling and always ready to answer any questions. Bedroom and bathroom was nice and clean. Definitly a place we would like to come back to.
Thank you Natalia!
Mrs. Natalia 'was punctual and very polite and friendly, it has placed the keys of the house and the room available without flexible timetables and utmost privacy. The room was nice and cozy with an adjoining private bathroom. All perfect! Highly recommended !!!
I've been in the room for many days and it's been a pleasure because I felt like at home. Natalia and her husband are very kind and hospitable. I would like to come back if possible :)
This is a great bargain in Barcelona. It is a very quiet neighborhood with very easy metro access and Natalie is a great host. Apartment just as pictured and everything was terrific. The price is unbeatable.
The bedroom is much smaller than it looks in the picture, which is misleading; no TV in the room, they have not given us room key and locker room had a lot of property that should not be there.
Missing some small details that make it less comfortable than it could, a hanger for towels in the bathroom (no where to put them) lamps on the bedside tables ..
El dormitorio es bastante más pequeño de lo que parece en la foto, que es engañosa; no había televisión en la habitación, no nos han dado llave de la habitación y el armario de la habitación tenía muchas cosas de la propiedad, que no deberían estar ahí.
Faltan algunos detalles pequeños que hacen que sea menos confortable de lo podría, un colgador para las toallas en el baño (no hay donde ponerlas), unas lamparas en las mesitas de noche,..
The room very clean not huge but comfortable as Natalia who has been always very helpful and kind ... I recommend it great value for money ....
La camera molto pulita non grandissima ma accogliente come Natalia che é stata sempre molto disponibile e gentile...lo consiglio ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo....
The room offered by Natalia is very nice and spacious with a good private bathroom. She gives you privacy during your visit, but also stands ready to help if needed. The metro station Llucmajor is a three minute walk away and from there you reach easily in twenty or thirty minutes all the highlights of the city. Parking is free and the neighborhood was safe at us. We enjoyed our stay and are very satisfied.
De kamer die Natalia aanbiedt is erg mooi en ruim met een goede privé badkamer. Ze geeft je alle privacy tijdens je bezoek, maar staat ook klaar om je te helpen als dat nodig is. Het metro station Llucmajor ligt op drie minuten loopafstand en vanaf daar bereik je heel gemakkelijk in twintig a dertig minuten alle hoogtepunten van de stad. Parkeren is gratis en de buurt kwam veilig op ons over. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf en zijn erg tevreden.
I really appreciated this experience. Natalia is friendly, accommodating and HAS year interessting conversation. The flat is near the subway with Many shops and restaurants around. And five minutes walk from "Heron city: shopping center". I would definitely come back. And I strongly recommended her apartment.

See what made the designer's ShortlistMore
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy transformed Thom Filicia—a Parish-Hadley-trained interior designer—into a television star. But the decorator—whose new book, American Beauty (Clarkson Potter), recounts the renovation of his country house in upstate New York—never dropped the ball on his core interior design business. His decorating clients have ranged from celebrities like Tina Fey to megabrands such as Delta Air Lines. Meanwhile, he has a growing empire of home decor products, from furniture to fabrics and rugs. For Filicia, who also has two new TV design shows in development, separating his public life from his private isn't an issue. "I practice what I preach, so I don't have to escape it," he says. "And I'm definitely an extrovert."
My morning routine starts with a "cup o' joe" from my Bodum French press.

StandardAero, Rolls-Royce Ink RR300 MRO Agreement
Source: StandardAero
StandardAero has completed a license agreement with Rolls-Royce that designates the company's Singapore facility as an authorized maintenance repair and overhaul center (AMROC) for the RR300. This authorization follows StandardAero's Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada RR300 AMROC agreement, signed in December, 2013.
The RR300 engine MRO line will run parallel to the facility's Rolls-Royce M250 MRO line with full repair and overhaul and test capabilities. The Singapore license agreement will be in place through the end of 2021. As a result of this authorization, StandardAero is now open for business to serve RR300 engine operators and Robinson R66 helicopter dealers, distributors, and service centers located in the Asia Pacific Region and Russia. To date, StandardAero has inducted six RR300 engines in its authorized facilities and the company has established over 50 individual book repairs for RR300 components.

This time, a fly got the better of President Obama.
The president tried to slap down the intruder during the ceremony nominating attorney Mary Jo White to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"This guy is bothering me here," Obama said as he swatted away the miscreant.
This particular fly -- who no doubt wanted to get out of the snowy Washington cold Thursday -- had a better fate than the one that invaded a 2009 Obama with CNBC.
The president crushed that one.
Here is Obama's more successful effort four years ago:

Canisius Ambassadors for Conservation
It is the motto of the Canisius Ambassadors for Conservation (CAC) that if we all work together, we really can make the world a better place. And it is the goal of the CAC program to instill that attitude in the next generation of citizens that are coming along behind us. The CAC program tries to inspire an approach that involves a positive attitude—that it is absolutely worthwhile to engage in pro-conservation efforts.
The formula of the CAC program is one in which our college students are trained via intensive field studies, and then brought back to Western New York to promote conservation in the college's local community. They do this by serving as public educators at local zoological institutions, by making presentations at local schools, by developing pro-conservation web pages, and by producing pro-conservation videos. It is a formula in which the enthusiasm of pro-conservation professionals spreads first to Canisius College students and then to others in the community.
Locations of past CAC studies have included the Monterey Marine Reserve in California, Pacific Rim National Park in British Columbia, Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica, Kadulla National Park in Sri Lanka, Gombee National Park in Tanzania, and Camp Leakey in Indonesia. To date, more than 11,000 middle school children have participated in the CAC's day-long wetlands conservation programs, and 5,000 school children have been reached via in-school presentations. CAC video productions have been distributed to 1,000 public and school libraries throughout New York State. The CAC website has been accessed by more than 400,000 unique visitors. And enthusiastic CAC representatives have made live presentations before 700,000 audience members at the Buffalo Zoo, the Aquarium of Niagara, and Marineland of Canada.

I am led to believe that World Pasta Day 2016 is to be on Tuesday, October 25 this year. So, with this in mind, what are the eG cooks planning on "cooking up" in celebrating the day?
I will start the ball rolling.
I am going to make my standard egg yoke pasta sheets, rolled out on my now seldom-used manual pasta machine and use them in making lasagna, using my old and reliable bolognese sauce recipe layered with béchamel sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
And with the left-over egg whites I will make a few meringue bases for portioned pavlova - Spring is here in the Southern Hemisphere and berries and fruit are starting to appear in the shops!

Just found out that a member of eGullet, @Cia has begun to post his short videos on Italian culinary culture on YouTube. Only one to date but I know there are more in the pipeline. While made by an Italian based in Italy the narrative is in English.
Here's the first instalment:

Makes 40 cookies, 2 loaves.
50-60 g very aromatic olive oil
80 g honey
120 to 150 g sugar (I use 120 because I like it only gently sweet)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of fine lemon zest, from apx 1 lemon
230 g flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
75 g lightly toasted peeled pistachios
50 g lightly toasted almonds (you can replace some with pine nuts)
Optional: a little rosemary or anise seed
Optional: more olive oil for brushing
Heat oven to 170 deg C.
In mixer (or by hand), mix oil, honey, sugar, lemon, egg and if desired, the optional spices - until uniform.
Separately mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
Add flour mixture to mixer bowel with liquids and fold until uniform. Dough will be sticky and quite stiff. Don't knead or over mix.
Add nuts and fold until well dispersed.
On a parchment lined baking tray, create two even loaves of dough.
With moist hands, shape each to be rectangular and somewhat flat - apx 2cm heigh, 6cm wide and 25cm long.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden and baked throughout, yet somewhat soft and sliceable. Rotate pan if needed for even baking.
Remove from tray and let chill slightly or completely.
Using a sharp serrated knife, gently slice to thin 1/2 cm thick cookies. Each loaf should yield 20 slices.
Lay slices on tray and bake for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-15 minutes until complelty dry and lightly golden.
Brush with extra olive oil, if desired. This will and more olive flavor.
Let chill completely before removing from tray.
Cookies keep well in a closed container and are best served with desert wines or herbal tea.

It is FRIDAY, TGIF TeaDay!!! I am going to drink 4 teas today or more. How many will you drink?
It is TeaDay everyone. So, bring your cup of tea and share with everyone what teas you are drinking today. Half the fun is seeing what teas other TeaChatters are sipping as well. So, visit TeaDay as much as you can and share as often as you want...the more the merrier.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic was not really suggested by tenuki, just having some fun with the guy who will likely call this a grass clipping poll. Yet he has been known to sneak a few cups of sencha throughout the week.
So, share with us if you care to about your experience with green tea. Love it, like it, hate it, yet to try it. Let it all out here.
I will be looking for you on TeaDay and hope you honor us with sharing what is in your cup!

Conservation Status
Desmognathus ochrophaeus is not listed as endangered by any of these organizations, but is considered vulnerable by COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Life in Canada). This is due in large part to overlogging and industrial intrusion into their natural habitats in the deciduous forests. As trees are cut down in deciduous forests for farming and logging industries, the natural habitat of the salamander diminishes and with it goes the population. Logging removes leafy canopies, which increases ground and stream temperatures and lowers humidity levels. This effectively destroys the wet, shady salamander habitat. Another reason for their "vulnerable" status is a change in the water table, either through human activity or climatic variation. Water usage for residential developments, resorts, and industries decreases the amount of available water for Desmognathus ochrophaeus' habitat. Although listed as "vulnerable," nothing is being done to preserve this species. (Hairston 1987).

This week's "Photo of the Week" comes to us from the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, and shows U.S. Ambassador Kristie Kenney serving a Thanksgiving feast to children at the Duang Pratheep Foundation in Bangkok.
This type of outreach exemplifies the spirit that President Barack Obama described during his Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, in which he said, "As we reflect on our proud heritage, let us also give thanks to those who honor it by giving back. This Thanksgiving, thousands of our men and women in uniform will sit down for a meal far from their loved ones and the comforts of home. We honor their service and sacrifice. We also show our appreciation to Americans who are serving in their communities, ensuring their neighbors have a hot meal and a place to stay. Their actions reflect our age-old belief that we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, and they affirm once more that we are a people who draw our deepest strength not from might or wealth, but from our bonds to each other."
President Obama continued, "On Thanksgiving Day, individuals from all walks of life come together to celebrate this most American tradition, grateful for the blessings of family, community, and country. Let us spend this day by lifting up those we love, mindful of the grace bestowed upon us by God and by all who have made our lives richer with their presence."
You can read the President's full Thanksgiving Day Proclamation here. On behalf of everyone at DipNote, I hope those who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful holiday!

@ Hanna Johnson,
As a fellow construction worker, I know folks don't always appreciate the job we do or the risks we take to get the job done right; and I thought I'd send a note of solidarity to these guys after reading the following news item;
Washington (CNN) -- A flash fire in the ductwork of the State Department injured four people Saturday, including three who were sent to a hospital, fire officials said.
One person was in a "life-threatening condition" and the other two people were in serious but non-life threatening condition at Washington Hospital Center, authorities said.
The fourth person fell from a ladder and hurt his knee, authorities said.
The fire started shortly after 11 a.m., as construction crews were working on the premises, said Lon Walls, a spokesman for Washington's fire department.
Construction workers extinguished the flames before fire trucks arrived, Walls said.
There were few federal employees in the government building because of the holiday weekend, Walls told CNN.
So I hope you'll pass on my best wishes to them for their speedy recovery, thanks.

Merged Westfield, Brocton District Taking Shape
BROCTON – A merged Westfield-Brocton school district is starting to take shape.
Recently, consultants from Western New York Educational Service Council recommended the merger of the Brocton and Westfield school districts. The state Education Department has accepted the consultants' nearly 300-page report. The report not only recommends a merger, it also details 22 recommendations for how the district should be structured. Each recommendation is followed by a finding or findings, drawn from data, that support it.
Robert Christmann, one of the consultants, told the audience that to recommend a merger, the consultants needed to find a merger will produce cost savings through economies and efficiencies and expanded educational opportunities for the students.
"This is not about which town is better, nor is it about which 'school' is better," said consultant Marilyn Kurzawa. "It is about how we can literally save the educational system in two floundering school districts by consolidating them into one self-sufficient and productive one. We really need to take the bull by the horns so to speak and decide exactly what we are looking for in our school district. We are starting with two extremely similar districts that already fit seamlessly on a few fronts. We need to start from that aspect if we really expect to make any headway at the onset of this endeavor."
If the board decides to go forward there will be future public meetings before a straw vote is held in June.
The consultants envision a new district governed by a nine-member board. The merger would have three phases and happen over a period of several years, with both buildings used at first before a single building is built to house the new district. In the first phase, lasting three years, kindergarten through third grades would be at Brocton, pre-kindergarten through fifth grades would be in Westfield and sixth through 12th grades would be in Brocton. In phase 2, which would last two years, students in kindergarten through fifth grades would be housed in Westfield and the rest in Brocton. In Phase 3, there will be one building, using existing facilities which may require renovations to be educationally appropriate, or the construction of a new facility mid-way between existing facilities.
Consultants recommend a review of all secondary courses to make sure they reflect state Education Department requirements and student needs.
The new board should reinstate any electives cut in past years and new electives. There should be strong consideration given to the reinstatement and immediate expansion of a variety of advanced placement classes. The Agricultural Program should be given strong consideration for reinstatement. All courses, current and new, should have a minimum of eight to 10 students enrolled before they are implemented. General class sizes at the secondary level should average 20 students. Courses affiliated with two- and four-year colleges should also be examined for student access.
As a new district, staff members should organize into whatever formal bargaining units reflect their needs. The bargaining process should immediately begin with the new school board. When the new board begins negotiating new contracts, consultants recommend the board should start from scratch rather than level up from one contract to another. Leveling up requires the best of both contracts be accepted. It is also recommended a longer school day be considered when negotiating new contracts.
Both transportation centers should remain in use to house buses during Phases 1 and 2. Brocton's bus garage would house buses for the north and east bus runs and would be used for all maintenance work. The Westfield bus garage would be used for storage of buses for south and west bus runs and possibly house maintenance and buildings and grounds vehicles. District needs would be assessed to determine a future use of the building, if any.
Consultants recommend using two bus runs, one for elementary school children and one for secondary school children, with the new school board coming up with a transportation policy that specifies the distance, if any, for children walking to school. It is expected that no bus run will be greater than 60 minutes, and most would be less than 45 minutes.
In addition to the reduction of one superintendent, consultants recommend a transition to a central business office under BOCES, making those services eligible for additional state aid. Further cuts would include one elementary principal and one high school principal. There would also be a reduction of one business official, business office staff and some clerical positions.
Based on the number of students in Brocton in the first two phases of a merger, disciplinary duties of administrators, the APPR teacher evaluation requirements, budgeting and transportation responsibilities, scheduling events, dealing with parent and personnel issues, overseeing instruction in the building and the goal of accelerating the school academic improvement process, the consultants recommend adding an assistant principal.
Consultants also recommend hiring a BOCES curriculum and staff developer for kindergarten through 12th grade to work on the district's instructional focus. In particular, attention would be given to elementary English language arts and math. While there would be a greater emphasis at the elementary level, assistance would also need to be given to the secondary school teachers. It is also recommended the district have a director of pupil services to deal with several areas of concern identified through the study process.
Services involving 1.6 part-time staff members are proposed to be changed to be one full-time position responsible for educational technology programs.
In other areas of personnel there would be a restructured half-time equivalent position of athletics director. The number of psychologists would be cut from two to one, guidance department staffers would be cut to two and assigned to the secondary school with the employment of a new full-time position of school social worker assigned to the elementary level. One cafeteria manager, one transportation director and one head custodial position would all be cut.
The new district superintendent would also be tasked with reviewing the number of employees for clerical, custodial, mechanics, buildings and grounds, food service and transportation positions, based on the number of staff employed. Those numbers can change during each phase of the merger. Consultants also recommend eliminating a part-time school nurse, one school board clerk and one of the school's treasurers.
Finally, consultants recommend both school buildings have a support staff member employed or reassigned to provide additional building security.
Consultants recommend the new operating incentive aid that comes to the newly merged district be allocated by the new board as follows:
40 percent to reduce taxes,
35 percent to improve student programs and address personnel costs,
25 percent to reserve funds for providing greater long term financial stability; and
use for the 2 percent local share of any future capital expenditures.
In order for the new board to maintain legally a capital reserve fund from 25 percent of the operating incentive aid, voters must approve the establishment of a capital reserve account. The money is then available to cover the local share of any capital project (2 percent) and to provide savings for future needs as determined by the voters. Consultants recommend a thorough assessment of the new district's building needs with a capital project proposed to meet those needs. The consultants say the building project should not require local funding.

Commissioners to consider evaluation center contract
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners will consider the 2014 Brown County Evaluation Center contract for detox services at their Tuesday, Oct. 22 meeting.
The contract includes a four percent increase in daily per diem costs with a two percent hike to the county discount. In addition, a paragraph has been added to Section 8, under "Confiden-
tiality," according to an Oct. 4, 2013 letter from Brown County Evaluation Center, Inc. Director Jill Wenzel.
The letter read that because the Brown County Evaluation Center receives federal funding and it provides diagnosis of alcohol and drug abuse prevention, it is subject to very strict confidentiality provisions that are much more restrictive than the regular HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act), regarding private health information.
The contract contains language ensuring that the county is a qualified service organization and allows the evaluation center to provide information to the county for billing purposes when a signed patient release is unattainable, according to the letter.
The evaluation center detox division accepted 108 patients in September 2013, compared to 115 patients in September 2012. Year to date patients numbered 969 in 2013 compared to 1,008 in 2012, according to the RBA.
Commissioners will also consider:
A 2014 Greater Minnesota Family Services Contract with a two percent rate increase.
Watching two videos on the Accountable Care Act dealing with the county's portion of the major change in the Medical Assistance MNSure program and how it affects county residents.
Disbanding a four-way, joint powers agreement for the River Bend Therapeutic EBD program, better known as the day treatment program. A number of changes have occurred in the last few years, resulting in fewer students going into the program, according to the RBA.
At the current time, the program established more than 20 years ago to provide intense mental health service in an educational setting to K-12 students at risk of out-of-home placement in Brown, Sibley and Watonwan counties, is operating at half capacity, according to the RBA.
Upgrading camera systems in the jail and parts of the Law Enforcement Center and courthouse. Costs will be split by jail commissions and software expenses.
The county board meeting starts at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 in the courthouse commissioner's room.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: Well organised overall. But Lack of medals for all finishersIn full: A very well orgainsed event. Stress free parking and registering. Can be very windy as it was on this day. If it is raining it can be very tough as their is no hiding from it. Small number of competitors can mean that the field is very spread out. Only problem was the lack of medals for all competitors, although I was promised one through the post.Date of review: August 10, 2008
In short: Flat & friendlyIn full: Well organised and really friendly atmosphere. I found three laps a bit of psychological struggle as the scenery was non-existent - but thats the compromise in having a very flat course with good PB potential. Date of review: July 25, 2008
In short: Very quck race, PB territory. Date of review: June 14, 2008
In short: superbly organisedDate of review: March 25, 2008
In short: Possible pb course, but can be windy at certain points round the track, not as flat as you thinkDate of review: March 25, 2008
In short: Very well organised; friendly and a definite PB course. I've been twice now and will be back. Other races can beat this on scenery and variety, but if you want to see how fast you can run a 10k, this is the place!! Date of review: March 11, 2008
In short: Great for speed and for not feeling like the slowest runner out thereDate of review: March 11, 2008
In short: One word will do: excellent!Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Good fun, lovely atmoaphere, friendly peopleIn full: I did my first Castle Coombe in November as an almost beginner and it felt incredibly welcoming and friendly. I came back because it is hassle free ion getting there and parking on arrival. Great stress free event.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Organisation was fantasticIn full: This was my second 10K and although more runners would have helped the atmosphere, I realy enjoyed it (despite the wind). It also helped finding someone else runnig at my pace (a bonus with a small number of runners) to help me along as laps are certainly a mental challenge. The organisation was brilliant.Date of review: March 10, 2008

… You may think that their offense hasn't gotten the attention it should, and that's what I thought at first too. But then I looked at the team's Win Probability Added (WPA) breakout during their 25-5 run. Here it is:
Offense: -0.5 games
Defense: 10.5 games
If you look at their performance on a contextual basis, which is what WPA does, their pitching and fielding actually made up for a below-average contribution from the bats. …

For decades, China and Vietnam have clashed over control of parts of South China Sea, which is rich in oil and fish. Earlier this month, China moved an oil drilling rig into waters claimed by Vietnam. The Vietnamese government sent vessels trying to stop Beijing's deployment. Chinese ships responded by firing water cannons, which sparked protests in Vietnam. Thousands of protestors torched Chinese-owned businesses and factories. On May 18, Vietnamese security forces moved to stop the protests while the Chinese government sent four ships to evacuate Chinese citizens from Vietnam.
Where exactly is Vietnam?
Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. The country is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and the South China Sea to the east. Although roughly the size of New Mexico, Vietnam has a population of over 89 million, about the same as California, New York, and Texas combined. It is the world's 13th-most-populous country, and the eighth-most-populous Asian country.
What type of government and economy is in place in Vietnam?

Good candies
Posted by odereviews on Jun 20, 2013
These are pretty similar to SurfSweets "Sour Worms". These also has a great natural flavor, and plenty of healthier ingredients, for the people who like to eat sweets every now and then. Texture could be bit more thicker. One bag is more than enough for one person. These are sweet and just a bit sticky. Also good that these has plenty of organic ingredients. It's always nice to see more healthy candies on iherb.

Simply Magnesium!
Reviewer1004297により Jul 21, 2008 に掲載
I was looking for some magnesium to offset the calcium supplements I added to my diet. Problem was- several of my other vitamins had a bit of magnesium in each...not enough to meet my daily intake, but just enough that I had to be careful to get a LOW DOSAGE supplement of JUST magnesium (and nothing else) so I could get the right balance. Couldn't find it anywhere else I looked. Thanks iHerb!
Quality product but don't ignore the BUFFERED qualifier!
Reviewer2961002により Feb 02, 2012 に掲載
I've been buying the 180-cap version of this from iHerb for quite awhile now. It's definitely a quality product, but understand that "buffered" means that it's not 100% chelated magnesium. Instead, the chelated magnesium glycinate is mixed with an unspecified amount of simple magnesium oxide. That probably explains how they're able to fit a full 200mg in a capsule of this size. Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate advertises "NOT buffered," but the disadvantages for that one are that it's tablets instead of gelcaps, and that it contains Bioperine (black pepper extract) which I'm wary of.
I like it!
Reviewer2033686により Dec 19, 2012 に掲載
I was taking the unflavored Natural Calm magnesium citrate for a couple of months, but stopped because I didn't like it. It is too acidic for me. I did some research and found that one of the best forms of magnesium to take is chelated magnesium glycinate. I've had success using the BlueBonnet brand and appreciate that their products are packaged in glass bottles and not plastic containers. The only thing I dislike is each capsule only contains 200 mg. I take 2-3 capsules a day. This is a fantastic supplement to raise your magnesium level.
Love these

A warm welcome to all European citizens,
please discover our online campaign for the first European Citizens' Initiative
Daring more democracy
Since the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, all European citizens have received a new tool to directly take part in European decision-making. We as European citizens have a say in Europe - also in other ways than only through the EU elections. Due to the European Citizens' Initiative, we can call the EU-Commission for new policy proposals. Let us take this unique chance and make a step forward towards more democracy beyond all partisan politics.
Support the first European Citizens' Initiative for a work-free Sunday in Europe!
The European Citizens´ Initiative
Sunday is for children
"Mum and dad belong to us on Sunday": Nowadays, this slightly changed former German labour union slogan is more up to date than ever before. Many times, especially children suffer from the so-called "flexibilization" of the labour market. Children have a right to their parents and vice versa. We can only protect children, if their parents have time for them. With a free Sunday, there is at least one fixed spare day a week. This is, why we demand a work-free Sunday in Europe.

Heading for 100 % renewable urban transport: Policy recommendations
Date: unknown
Creator: Gust, Iris & Meusel, Titus
Description: The brochure promotes urban transportation policy to increase the use of renewable energy to 100%. Seen globally, transport is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet fossil fuels are becoming scarce, will become increasingly expensive and will eventually stop being viable as transport fuels. Before this happens, climate change will have begun to have a serious impact on human lives. The authors believe that it is crucial to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy as soon as possible, especially in the transport sector. Making urban transport independent of fossil fuel is a great challenge, but the authors cite growing evidence that it can be achieved.

Fishing Tomorrow
hey guys! this is my first post but definently not the first time i have ever been to the LR shop, its a great, GREAT little shop with friendly advice and friendly smiles!
anyway, i was planning on doing some fishing up near townsend friday but im not sure now that its rained a good inch or two.
what do you think the conditions for fishing will be tomorrow?
should i go?
i should have gone yesterday, but incuding time constraints it just wasnt possible. now im affraid that the river is going to have some color to it and the fish will be sleeping!
let me know what you think... cause im DIEING to catch some trout!
Re: Fishing Tomorrow
I would say if the water is a little off color that is even more reason to go. I love fishing things like green weenies and helgramites down deep when the water is stained. It can't be said enough on the board, high off-colored water = big fish. Now I don't mean go do this if the river is like chocolate milk and raging, that is just dangerous. Just my opinion, but some of my best fishing has been when the river looks like good southern sweet tea.
Re: Fishing Tomorrow
yeah, ive heard the same thing, i think im kind of curious to go, but ive never really tried nymph fishing. it kinda scares me. any tips?
that's why i like going when the water is calm, because i can see the dry fly realy well and know when a fish lands on the fly.
im just kinda curious, do you think the water would be too high tomorrow? we only got about 1/3 of an inch here in the valley, im not sure what they got up in the mountains, but im sure by tomorrow it should be down to normal again...
Re: Fishing Tomorrow
I was in LRO during Labor Day weekend. It had just rained and the river was up some on friday. I was talking to Daniel at LRO and if my memory serves me correctly, he said that once the flow reaches about 2.5 ft is when you should start to be careful with wading. I could be wrong as this has been a month since he told me, but for some reason I think that is what he told me. You can either just stop in at the store if you going fishing and ask them how the flow is, or look at the fishing report each morning after byron has updated it and see what the flow is like before you go. Please don't interpret this as meaning you cannot fish at all if the flow is over 2.5 ft. There are plenty of places you can find along the road where you can cast big nymphs w/out getting in the water. This is just my opinion, hopefully some of the people on here that know a lot more than me will chime in.

Not recommended. There should be more bristles and being too little, the bristles feel too long and does not blend well.
It's a bit bigger then I've expected but does a good job

It's a very loose type brush and it seemed at first like it wasn't working but it actually picks up a lot of color at once and spreads it evenly. Pretty decent at blending as well, but may be a bit too loose.

I'm really enjoying this brush for multiple purposes. I use it both as a crease brush, a blending brush and also for carefully applying a transition color above the crease.


text: Yet again, Lance Briggs wants out from under the Bears since they denied his request for a raise. Guy's getting up there in age (31 in Nov.) but is a 6-time Pro Bowler without being a huge name so he's earned them. He would help fill one of the biggest voids on the Browns roster. I've always been a fan of his and knowing that we have 2 first round picks next year, I'd try and see if they could get him for their 2nd rounder knowing they'd have to give him a contract extension.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
A soul singer who drew comparisons to such classic vocalists as Bill Withers and Bobby Womack, Anthony Hamilton struggled for the better part of the 1990s as two of his albums went unreleased. While he didn't always get the label support his talent deserved, Hamilton established himself during the 2000s as one of the rawest, most singular, and relatable voices in R&B. He did so while racking up several Top Ten R&B albums and a handful of Grammy nominations.
The Charlotte, North Carolina native got his start at age ten in his church's choir. As a teenager, he transitioned into performing solo at various nightclubs and talent shows. In 1993, while in his early twenties, he moved to New York City, where he signed with André Harrell's Uptown Records, a major source of the new jack swing sound and home to artists such as Jodeci and Mary J. Blige. By 1995, Uptown was set to push Hamilton's debut album, but the company went out of business, leaving the album unreleased.
Hamilton moved to MCA and was finally able to release that debut album, XTC, in 1996. Only one song, "Nobody Else," was released as a single; the song peaked at number 63 on Billboard's R&B chart, and the disc quickly disappeared from view. Another transitional period followed. Hamilton joined Soulife, an upstart venture run by some of his old Charlotte friends. While there, he laid down tracks for another solo album and wrote songs for Donell Jones and Sunshine Anderson. In 2000, he accepted an invitation to sing backup vocals on D'Angelo's Voodoo tour and traveled the world. Upon returning home, Hamilton discovered that Soulife had also gone belly up.
With a second album unreleased, Hamilton spent the next two years selling songs and singing backup for artists including 2Pac and Eve. Then, in 2002 a lead spot singing on the Nappy Roots track "Po' Folks" garnered Hamilton some much-needed attention, as the song was nominated for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 2003 Grammy Awards. A subsequent gig performing at a Grammy luncheon led to a meeting with producer Jermaine Dupri, who signed the singer to his So So Def label. Technically his fourth album, Comin' from Where I'm From bowed for So So Def in 2003 and featured "Charlene," a classic-sounding Southern soul ballad that reached number three on the R&B chart. In 2005, some of his Soulife recordings were dusted off and polished up for release as Soulife, and the new album Ain't Nobody Worryin' followed later in the year. It was Hamilton's third consecutive Top Ten R&B album. Southern Comfort, released in 2007, was another set of previously unreleased recordings.
The Point of It All, a proper studio release, was issued near the close of 2008. It was overshadowed by Hamilton's contribution to Al Green's "You've Got the Love I Need," which won a 2009 Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance -- that is, until the following Grammy ceremony, when the set received a nomination for Best Traditional R&B Album, with two of its songs also nominated in separate categories. Back to Love followed in 2011.

USA Boxing Holds its First Junior Female Training Camp at the OTC
(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – Less than a year after the Olympic debut of women's boxing, USA Boxing is holding its first training camp solely focused on the junior girls at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. Six young women traveled to the Pikes Peak region on Tuesday for the camp, which is being led by USA Boxing International Teaching Coach Pedro Roque.
The six girls participating in the first-time training camp are all champions from the Junior World Team Open, which took place in January in Reno, Nev. Five of the camp participants, pinweight Caitlin Orosco (Anaheim, Calif.), flyweight Nysja Barrientes (Las Vegas, Nev.), light bantamweight Ashley Perez (Sparks, Nev.), bantamweight Jessica Galvez (Sparks, Nev.), and lightweight Iesha Kenney (Alexandria, Va.), are only 15-years-old. Featherweight Jajaira Gonzalez (Glendora, Calif.) is the oldest athlete at 16-years-old.
With the competitive opportunities for younger female boxers growing, and the two-medal performance by the female members of the U.S. Olympic Boxing Team, there is a new emphasis on the developmental aspects of the women's program. The six young women are enjoying several benefits of the Olympic Training Center including classes in nutrition, USADA, sports psychology, and media as well as two workouts daily with Coach Roque and coach Michael Newson, Jr. (Las Vegas, Nev.).
The training camp will run through Monday with the young boxers departing from Colorado Springs, Colo., on Tuesday.
Claressa Shields (Flint, Mich.) became the first-ever female Olympic gold medalist from the United States at only 17 this past summer and won the Olympic Trials at only 16 just over a year ago.

Mother Nature is taking Western New York on a roller coaster ride by dropping temperatures rapidly. The temperature was a high of 65 in Dunkirk Wednesday with temperatures dropping off to the mid-20s and lower Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, the high temperature was 65 in Dunkirk and 66 in Buffalo on Wednesday. The temperature in Buffalo broke the record for Jan. 30. Meteorologist Jon Hitchcock of the National Weather Service said it is not uncommon for the weather to change rapidly.
"It's fairly common when you get one warm day in January. It is followed by strong winds and much colder temperatures a day or two later," Hitchcock said. "When we get these big warmups, it's followed by cold and wind."
The wintry conditions and high winds caused a few accidents which slowed traffic. A collision occurred between a school bus and a moving truck at the intersection of Howard and Water streets in the village of Fredonia shortly before 3 p.m. The school bus did not have any passengers at the time and only the driver was on board. Fredonia Police investigated the accident but did not have further details Thursday evening. Fredonia Police also responded to a car off the road. According to Dunkirk Police, they responded to a few minor "fender benders." Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office also reported several cars off the road with no injuries.
High winds caused problems for two tractor trailers traveling on Route 60. Two tractor trailers jack knifed on Thursday. One tractor trailer was in the town of Gerry when high winds and wintry conditions caused the accident at 10:35 a.m. Domenick Defillipes, 53, of Cleveland, Ga. was traveling north on Route 60 when the accident occurred. According to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office, heavy winds and atmospheric conditions caused the accident. Route 60 traffic was reduced to one lane for two hours after the incident while the semi was removed.
Another tractor trailer jack knifed on Route 60 in the town of Dunkirk. The incident occurred around 12:15 p.m. and police shut down the road for under 30 minutes while the trailer was removed. New York State Police at Fredonia responded and said the incident was caused by high winds. No injuries were reported.
According to the National Weather Service, winds peaked at 51 mph with gusts of winds from 35 to 45 mph throughout the day. Along the Lake Erie Shore, winds gusts at 62 mph early Thursday morning.
A lake effect snow warning is also in effect for the area until 6 p.m. today. According to Hitchcock, in the most intense band of snow, one to one and a half feet of snow is expected. He said it was hard to predict where the most snow would fall but he said higher elevations and inland from the lake would receive more snow. The lake effect snow will last throughout the weekend.

Skip to comments.Has the GOP-E co opted Ann Coulter?
Posted on 05/08/2012 6:20:34 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing
Trent Lott famously said "We don't need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples," Lott said in an interview. "As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them." - and I know what I think.
I want to know what you think. Has she(Coulter) surrendered to the progressives within the republican establishment?
Ping, what say you?
Just my 1/2 cent. To a lot of folks, it isn't about establishment versus Conservatives, it is about victory first and they see victory as the old, who has the most money paradigm.
What they can't see is the paradigm is changing. Look what happened to Luger.
There's only one thing Annie is looking out for: herself.
Bingo. It's just some freepers didn't notice that until she hitched her wagon to Romney and he won the nomination (she endorsed Romney in '08, but her fan club here simply ignore it and pretended she was "for Duncan Hunter" because said some nice things about him)
Nothing's changed about Annie, except some vehemently anti-Romney freepers woke up.
Coulter matters not.
What matters is what the Senate GOP told DeMint after the 08 election....that his issues and legislation would "rot on the counter, like a piece of old fruit".
Conservatives should have nothing to do with the GOP.
A. Ann has deeply infiltrated the Gay Media Mafia, or
B. The Gay Media Mafia has used Ann to infiltrate us.
The Breitbart split with Drudge/GayCPAC/Ann bears this out.
She has a pathetic need to have people talk about her.
Even when she isn't talking crazy there is nothing insightful in her writing.
It is well worth ignoring her.
Her two big go to guys were Mutt and Christie.
You do nothing for me. You and the other two bit opportunistic phonys out there like the toe suckin Dick Morris, Morning Joe, etc etc. Have sold out.
The only way we turn this country around is with real conservatives...who have a creative instinct...And who understand where we've been as a country and where we should go.
A year ago you told us Romney was a loser... now you're behind him all the way...
Your boy Romney will cave the first time he chooses a SCOTUS. Mark my words...
I sleep sound at night knowing I have no control over things...that I have no control over... only myself...
I won't spend another 10 cents on anything you write...
nitey nite...
Dittos to that. She's always been focused on her book royalties and celebrity status. She's done some good things for conservatives but she travels with a Manhattan crowd that tilts far to the Left. She can be devastatingly funny but I've always questioned her basic conservative principles.
Ann is a.country club Republican who knows how to pose as a grass roots conservative to sell books. She's very talented.
A close friend of my family is gay. We have known him over 20 years. He and his partner are members of the Tea Party. Neither believes in gay marriage, they are both pro life and share in the Tea Party's principles. He doesn't go to Church but he believes in school prayer.
I think this is the crowd Coulter is cavorting with.
Personally, I think she's had a pretty good ride on the conservative gravy train, but her ticket to ride expired and she got off at the last station.
Now, she can finally just be who she really is. The act is over.
I must have missed the memo.
What does GOP-E stand for:
GOP-Effite Snobs?
Inquiring minds want to know.
All of the above.........
The first sign was when she called the Article 2 defenders "CRANKS" and used the KKK to make her point. Since then every other week or show she further shows that she is firmly a GOP-er.
She follows the money. Local conservative talk radio is in decline, too. It's that old slippery slope that no one wants to hear about.
Local conservative talk radio is in decline, too.
Agreed! I rarely tune in and used to be daily listener.
It isn't what they talk about, it is what they REFUSE to discuss. It is both BORING and INFURIATING! ( This includes Rush.)
Christie has appointed two judges who are in favor of Islam's Shariah laws being "utilized" in US courts. Another way of putting that is that Christie is in favor of setting aside the US Constitution and the New Jersey constitution - subverting them - in favor of the application of the laws/regulations of a particular religion. Putting it more succinctly, Christie must therefore be in agreement with those constitutions being submissive to Islam.
Ann Coulter is infatuated with Christie; she is no conservative.
No USA-respecting conservative - no USA-respecting citizen -can be a fan or supporter of Chris Christie. If Romney picks him for VP, he's no better.
In agreement 100%. Our local conservative, "all-talk radio" station is now carrying all Cardinals' baseball games - so Hannity, Beck, Savage are all pre-empted. Previously the Cardinals' games were on the "Rush" station, so he's free and clear.
But as we here all agree about - and fume about: they're not doing their jobs anyway, because of what they won't discuss. What's really disturbing - alarmingly so - is their uniform reaction when they hear the words "eligibility" and "natural born citizen". They truly react - ALL of them - as if they were warlocks suddenly exposed to daylight and a cross in one fell swoop!
Romney is making an azz out of her. Last week she was bragging about how Romney is soooo conservative on illegal immigration. This week Mittens says he's not so sure what he's going to do about illegal immigration.
I know what Mittens is going to do. He's going to do the opposite of everything he said he was going to do during the primary election.
What I need is an idiot comprehension cource. I come across so many and I never can figure out what they are babbling about.
Romney doesn't strike me as someone who would want to be overshadowed in office by someone with a more robust personality.
Romney does seem to be unusually aggressive in his ego's quest to rule.
Ego's generally don't make good governors, so I hope I've misread him and his record.
Maybe Mitt wants Ann for VP
I agree. I think that, early on, she had found a profitable niche, and just ran with it. Ann is an entertainer. The role she plays is "conservative firebrand".
She was trained as a lawyer, and what lawyers are trained to do is make convincing arguments supporting the position that they're paid to support, without regard to how they personally feel about what they say.

There are 254 picks in the 2013 NFL draft, and I'll be lucky to get 10 of those picks right in this final mock draft.
More so than ever before, this mock draft was incredibly difficult to write. In a class with very flat talent amongst the elite players and even more flat talent among the other tiers, we can expect to see many trades—I would predict a record number, actually. One trade into or out of the top 10 will completely ruin even the best-prepared mock draft.
The purpose of this final seven-round mock draft isn't for accuracy—an accurate mock draft is about luck, not any kind of skill—but rather it is to show where I feel players will be drafted and which positions teams will target. This isn't a "what I would do" mock draft, but "what I feel teams will do" when the first round kicks off on Thursday night.

Topic: net/ftp get first file using wildcard
I'm trying to 'get' the first file that has a certain extention (msg) from a ftp location to my hard drive. So what I have is:
require 'net/ftp'
ftp = Net::FTP.new('ip.addrees')
So far everything is fine. I'm in the right folder. Using 'get' I can get the file to my harddrive but I don't actually want type the filename I want my little rubyscript to go to the first file meeting the *.msg criterium and then 'gets' it. I tried ftp.get('*.msg').first in all kinds of variations but that doesn't work. Anybody any ideas?

Caterpillar creation
Caterpillar creation
Russell Howk, age 3, of New Ulm, touches the caterpillar he made Tuesday at the New Ulm Public Library. A class, which was led by Master Gardener intern Lisa Pelzel, showed the children how to create a "Harry Caterpillar' by planting grass seed in soil inside a nylon stocking. With proper care, the seeds will sprout and there will be a dense clump of grass in each section of the caterpillar.
